After a much anticipated wait, The
Fort has been revamped and is now
open for business. Owner Dan Gerleman, who ran The Fort along with
his mother for years in the 80’s, is
back running it again. Dan also honed
his skills working at the restaurant
formerly called Ooodles, which is
now called the Train Station in Calmar. Later he moved to La Crosse, Wis.
and ran a bar and grill there for twenty
years. Now he is back home in Fort
Atkinson, where it all started.
With newly married wife at his
side, Dan and Christina opened up
their place for business for the first
time Sunday, September 13 after getting married at their new establishment just the Friday evening before,
September 11.
All the cleaning and refurbishing
took a bit more time than expected.
The beautiful wooden floors were resealed, new tables and chairs were put
in, the bar also got a refurbished look
and seven new televisions are now

Business Suits and Whistles
Raising two young children and
running a successful business seems
like a full plate, but when you add in
membership in the Calmar Community Club, board member of South Winn
Athletic Boosters, Rosary Chair at St.
Al’s Church and board member for
the Winneshiek County Foundation,
you’ve got a crazy busy schedule.
If you add in a husband, Chris Wiltgen, who also helps run a business in
Calmar and children who are starting
to participate in swim team and little
league, you have a full three-ring circus!
Just for fun, let’s throw in something else, basketball officiating.
If this was your life and schedule,
you would understand the world of
Calmar business owner, Nicole Wiltgen. Since 2011, Nicole has been doing business in Calmar as Wiltgen
Financial Services, working as an
independent financial advisor for clients in the areas of financial planning
& estate planning.
“I’m able to work with investments (IRA’s 401k’s and ROTH
IRA’s) to insurance, encompassing
life insurance, long-term care and disability insurance,” Nicole explained.
“I thoroughly enjoy putting the financial pieces of life together.”
Wiltgen earned an Associate’s Degree in Finance from Western Wisconsin Technical College and finished
her Bachelor’s Degree in Business
Administration at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, which is where she started
her business.
Growing up in a small Wisconsin
town, Wiltgen graduated in the last
class of Bloomington High School
in 1995. In school she participated in
three sports including volleyball, basketball and softball (which was spring
softball in Wisconsin).
“Growing up in a small town,
sports is what you did,” explained
Wiltgen. “I did not compete at the college level but during college is where
I did some youth coaching to stay involved in athletics.”
Nicole wanted to stay involved in
athletics after high school because she
enjoyed being around any sporting
event, which spouts from her internal
competitive drive. Watching athletes
improve on and off the court or field
is something Nicole genuinely loves.
“Officiating is a great way to stay
involved in the sport and I wasn’t able
to dedicate the time needed to be a
good coach,” Wiltgen answered about
what prompted her to start officiating.
“I started officiating both volleyball
and basketball to stay involved. After
becoming married and starting a family, basketball officiating was what
was best for my family.”
This year marks 17 seasons of officiating basketball for Nicole and
it won’t be her last. Presently, she
mostly works with women’s college
basketball from DIII to DI, but she has
officiated all levels of boys and girls
basketball from Junior High to Varsity level competition, but since having a family, she focuses on women’s
college ball while her husband is involved with high school basketball so
their children, six-year-old Chloe and
four-year-old Augie, always have at
least one parent at home. Officiating
for so many years has brought a lot
to Nicole’s life, including her husband
who she met in LaCrosse, WI, where
they both were working full time and
met through their officiating circle of
friends.
When asked, is there one event
from over the years that will always
stick out in your mind, Nicole commented, “I don’t think I can pick just
one event as there have been many
memorable moments at all levels. I
really need to keep a better journal of
all the things that happen on and off
the court! I can remember early on in
my career, giving a time out to a team
who didn’t have the ball. Yikes! I’ve
never made that mistake again.”
“I remember recently being able

start of the NCAA DIII Women’s College Basketball Consolation Final Four
game in Grand Rapids.
to work a high school game with my
husband. We were at a high school
that we are both familiar with. I went
over and shook the hands of our table
workers and they commented how
nice it was to see the both of us back
on the floor together,” continued Nicole. “I was quick enough to comment
back that it was great to have ‘date
night’. They chuckled. I just enjoy the
people who are involved in the officiating world.”
The officiating world isn’t a place
you can easily walk into as there are
several rules and parts of rules that
can change yearly along with registration fees and taking a test at any level
they wish to officiate.
At the end of last season, Nicole
was one of the officials that worked
the Final Four of the NCAA DIII
2015 women’s basketball tournament
in Grand Rapids, MI. To get there, she
had to be nominated by conference
assignors. They only nominate the
officials who have met requirements
such as paying officials dues, taking
the test and quizzes throughout the
season and watching hours of video.
Once your nomination is sent in, the
NCAA reviews that and will followup with their decision.
“It was quite and honor to be nominated, plus be selected to work the
Final Four,” Nicole added.
Nicole was also the first female
in 86 years of Iowa Girls’ Basketball
to officiate a girls’ state tournament
game in Des Moines in 2006. The
event broke into regional news in the
WCF Courier, state news in the Des
Moines Register and national news in
USA Today.
Her usual competitions aren’t as
intense as the Final Four, but the same
level of official work, fairness and attention is used at every game. Most
importantly, Nicole’s passion for the
work continues to drive her to continuing her career as an official.
“I think I will slow down once my
kids are more involved in activities. I
do not want to miss one thing they
participate in. But I also know the
struggles assignors and AD’s have in
finding officials to work any game at
any level,” Nicole noted.
As in any profession, there are ups
and downs, but for Nicole, the good
outweighs the bad to keep her going
back.
“The best part about officiating is
the friendships I have created. The
camaraderie is truly a blessing. It
is something that I hold dear to my
heart!” continued Nicole. “The bad
part (if you consider it bad) is that no
matter what happens, I’m always in
the wrong 50% of the time. It is hard
to have to be the rule enforcer. The
other bad part is the miles I put on to
games and then back home. Most of
the time, travel is by myself.”
The next time you are at an intense
competition and you feel the officiating isn’t up to par, consider the face
above the uniform and the knowledge
that they’re always half wrong, but
they’re ok with that, it’s part of the
job description.
“My favorite moment is when we
(the 3 officials for the game) are in the
locker room prepping with our pregame. I like to end with three checks
1. Shoes tied. 2. Got whistle? 3. Zipper up? Who wants to walk on the
floor with your pants zipper down!!
Officiating for any sport is usually
a “side job” for almost every person
who dons the uniform. They have
families at home, deadlines at the end
of the week, clients to think about and
a lot of travel, but they are still passionate enough to keep putting on a
whistle and helping young people
grow through athletics.

Dan will be cooking up the original Flashburgers, broasted chicken,
homemade pizza and much, much
more. They will also bring back
lunch specials and also post them on
their facebook web page along with
the full menu. They plan on having
their website up soon also. With The
Fort’s seven new televisions, they are
all ready for the NFL Sunday Ticket.
After many years of The Fort being closed, and the place where many
locals came to eat, the community is
very supportive and the place is already very busy. To contact The Fort,
call either the bar phone at 563-3589005 or the kitchen at 563-358-9006.
Come see what all the excitement

Lots of work went into getting the bar & grill ready to open.
Exploring
Iowa’s
unsolved murders
This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it
will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this
newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.
Kimberly Loose died in a one-car accident after leaving her best friend’s 16th birthday party.
Authorities determined she was thrown from the
passenger seat of a car driven by Jeffery Daily.
Also in the car were Daily’s best friend, Craig
Petersen, and his brother, Kevin Petersen. Daily, who wasn’t injured, was charged only with
operating a vehicle while under the inÀuence of
alcohol.
The Loose family was initially told that Kim’s
death was a freak accident — that the vehicle’s
passenger door had fallen open while allegedly traveling 20 mph
over a speed bump in
ANYONE WITH
a parking lot — and that Kim had fallen from the
vehicle, broken her neck and died.
In 2011, Kim’s family obtained copies of
police reports and autopsy photos which were
inconsistent with what they were told 25 years
earlier. The sheriff’s of¿ce reopened the case,
calling the death “suspicious,” but closed it again
shortly after, ruling the death an accident. The
family doesn’t know what transpired from the
time the death was ruled suspicious and the case
reopened, until it was ruled accidental and the
case closed.
Craig Petersen died just over one day after
Kimberly Loose died in the company of Petersen’s best friend, Jeffery Daily. Petersen disappeared the morning of Sept. 28, 1986 while
walking across the Interstate 280 bridge south of
Davenport. Two days later, his body was found
Àoating two miles west of Montpelier on the
Mississippi River. No conclusive evidence ever
proved whether Petersen had jumped (voluntari-
ly or by coercion), fallen, or been pushed from
the bridge into the river.
Both Loose’s and Petersen’s deaths were considered suspicious and perhaps related, given the
victims’ association with Daily, yet in the nearly
three decades since the two young victims died,
conÀicting reports of what happened that weekend still leave loved ones wondering if they’ll
ever ¿nd answers or closure.
ANY INFORMATION about the deaths of
Kimberly Loose or Craig Petersen is encouraged to contact the Iowa
Division of Criminal Investigation at (563) 284-9506 or the Iowa DCI
at 515-725-6010.

Winneshiek Emergency Preparedness Coalition To Offer Emergency preparedness
PO Box 507, Calmar, IA 52132 • (563) 562-3488 • [email protected]
Winneshiek Emergency Preparedness Coalition will be hosting a night
to offer explanation on emergency
preparedness. This event is free for all
who want to come hear more about
disaster relief and what you can do
in an emergency. We want persons
to understand how the general public
can become engaged in Winneshiek
County disaster. The event will be
held September 23, 2015 at Vennejhem in Decorah from 6-7:30 p.m.
We hope to see you there.
It seems heavy rains with flash
flooding events are becoming the
new norm in northeast Iowa. In 2013
alone, Winneshiek County had 9 flash
flood warnings. We can’t forget the
floods of 2008 along with its $5 million in property damage and $3 million in crop damage to our county. But
have we learned from these events?
Could we handle another disaster like
the flood of 2008?
Winneshiek County has put disaster relief strategies into place. Winneshiek County Emergency Responders will be notified in the case of a
disaster and activate the county disaster relief plan. There are notification

The Winneshiek Emergency Preparedness Coalition works to enhance
the community’s ability to prepare
for, and respond to, public health incidents and disasters. Some of the entities that make up this coalition are
local law enforcement, Winneshiek
Medical Center, Winneshiek County
Public Health, Winneshiek County
Emergency Management, area nursing homes, Gundersen Clinic, Family Care Clinic, Decorah Care Clinic,
RSVP, Luther College, the Red Cross,
NICC, local schools and religious
groups, The Chamber, and more.
Floods aren’t the only disasters
we face in this part of the country. We
also need to think about plans for winter storms, tornadoes, large hail and
damaging winds, and child abductions. To be as prepared as possible,
the coalition will be working on establishing a volunteer based disaster
relief team that the coalition can call
upon for county emergencies. Having
volunteer teams that are already registered and could be contacted quickly
to help would save time and could
potentially save property, crops and
even lives.
How could you help in a disaster?
What specific skills do you have that
could come in handy in the event of
a natural disaster? Volunteers could
possibly be needed for things such
as sandbagging, carpentry, manning
phone banks, registering volunteers,
distributing food and water or cleaning supplies, etc. Find out how the coalition works within your community.

Sunday, September 20, the community of Spillville put out the welcome mat to new and old residents
alike for an old fashioned potluck
meal and music by the Community
Band at Riverside Park in Spillville.
The meat and drinks were provided
by area businesses and community
people. The Citizens Savings Bank
employees of Spillville helped serve
the meal.
The annual Spillville Community
Picnic is sponsored by the Civic Im-
provement Association, area Merchants and private citizens. The community picnic began around 1980. It
was first put on by the town council
at that time. The picnic is a community fun and fellowship gathering.
What a wonderful evening, The
Inwood Ballroom was packed with
music, laughter, and good food as the
small community once again came
together. As everyone was leaving,
Mother Nature provided a spectacular light show in the sky with a rainbow.
Many people came early to the Spillville Community Picnic to listen outside
to the Community Band.

seminars on dairy and agricultural
topics, which included linear scoring, giving reasons in a dairy cattle
contest and how to judge a dairy cow.
Iowa State University Dairy Science
students presented the seminars.
Many businesses contributed to
the expo, including Nelson Dairy
Consultants, who continually donate
all the plaques and ribbons for top
scorers.
A board of directors representing
several sectors of the dairy business
organizes the dairy expo. The board
members are: President Ron Lenth,
Bremer County Extension; Vice
President Roger Lenius, Swiss Valley Farms; Secretary-Treasurer Craig

Spectrum Network Plans for the Future
The Spectrum Network (TSN) has
been helping individuals with cognitive disabilities, mental illness and
other barriers to independent living
enter the workforce and the community through various means since
1974. The purpose is to help create
independence for those individuals
served by Spectrum.
Toward that end, two years ago,
a three-phase plan was developed to
enhance employment opportunities
in the community as well as support
the community’s local food and wellness initiative. Phase I of that plan
was to open The Spectrum Thrift
Store in Decorah. Phase II is a food
aggregation/processing center with
cold storage for local food production efforts. Phase III is a community
kitchen.
A capital campaign is being started to support Spectrum’s vision of
the future. It is centered on raising
funds to create and implement Phase
II, the food aggregation/storage facility, and assist with debt retirement.
A federal grant from the USDA
will allow Spectrum to implement
Phase II as well as provide employment on a sustainable basis well after
the grant funds are spent.
Existing debt was incurred for
remodeling the current space at
607 Washington St. and purchasing
the Wonder Hostess Bakery Build-
ing and remodeling it to operate as
a thrift store. The reduction of debt
payments through partial debt retirement will mean current revenues can
be devoted fully to funding current
programs and to implementing Phase
III.
Phase III focuses upon providing
a community kitchen to be used by
local food producers. Programs implemented under both Phases II and
III will provide additional work opportunities within a sustainable business framework.
The impact of implementing this
strategic plan:
*Lowered reliance on social programs
*Healthier communities
*Advanced opportunities for individuals who are at or below the poverty line
*Rewarding jobs
*Sustainable communities
*Reduced waste of fresh, locally
produced food
*Sustainable organization supporting healthier lifestyles and independence
Our Vision:
That every person can live in a
home that they like, make friendships that are important to them,
work at a meaningful job, and live
as a good citizen of their community.

Pastor Jesse DeDeyne, Redeemer Lutheran Church
Alive in Christ
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
- 1 John 4:10
As a pastor I attempt to learn and know what other pastors and spiritual
leaders in my community are teaching and preaching. One of the easiest ways
is to listen to their most recent Sunday sermon, which, by the way, more and
more people are posting online. Now, as I listen to these sermons I notice one
huge missing thing: love.
Of course, love as the world defines and knows it is running rampant in
sermons. What I mean by this is a very shallow love, a love that is composed
of fleeting feelings and is usually short-lived. We hear about a husband who
loves a wife and shows his love through words and deeds. We hear about children who love their parents by listening to them and caring for them as they
get older. We may even hear about love from one friend to another through
kind words and acts. Yet, true love is truly lacking from many sermons that
I hear.
Maybe it is because we, as a society, no longer recognize love for what
it is. Or maybe it is because we have so watered down love that even things
like lust or a great “like” are tantamount to love with us. Instead of seeking
a self-sacrificing love, we are perfectly okay telling a beer or movie that we
love it. Instead of seeking out the kind of love that is rarely found, we don’t
believe we are ‘in love’ unless it is just like the love in the movies. Instead of
knowing a love that is unmovable and unshakeable, we are convinced that it
is only love when it moves our groins to action.
Yet, the greatest display of love will not grace many peoples’ wedding
photos. The greatest display of love will not make its way onto cards that we
might send a spouse. And I am almost certain that the greatest display of love
ever shown will never be really celebrated or lauded on Valentine’s Day. The
greatest display of love was the display of Jesus Christ hanging on the cross.
It was on the cross that Jesus Christ showed us, and the world, what true
love is. Jesus Christ went onto that cross after living a perfect life. He lived a
life of love, always giving up His comfort for others; making sure that others’
needs were met before His own; focusing all of His energies on people who
would one day disown and abandon Him.
And after Jesus lived the perfect life, He died on the cross. It was in this
death that Jesus Christ showed us just what love is. Love is not some feeling
that is here one moment and gone the next, love is not some greeting card
picked up at the last minute, love is not something that we see grandly and
proudly displayed in movies; no, love is Jesus Christ hanging on the cross,
suffering hell itself, in order to pay for all of your sins. That is love.
It was loving when God brought you into this world. It was loving when
God did not immediately send you to hell for your first sin. It was loving when
God sent His Son into this world to be your Savior. It was loving that Jesus
Christ gave up His life to die in your place. And it was loving when Jesus assured you a spot in heaven.
Now through faith, we see the true love that God showed to us: the love of
a Father who would willingly give up any and every thing for His children;
the love of a brother who would ‘take the bullet’ for each and every one of
us by dying on the cross; the love that we can never fully share or know, God
showed us…and every time we walk into His house we see it again and again.
For when we walk into God’s house, we see the cross of Christ, that great
testament to love. We see the place where God showed His greatest love to all
mankind. When we see the cross, we should always see love…for it was on
the cross that Christ showed us just how great His love truly is.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for loving me. I am not always loving. I am not
always a lover. Lord, please forgive me. Help me to be more like You, forgoing what I want, in order to show forth Your love all the more. Lord, thank
You for the love of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
1 package active dry yeast (I use
Rapid Rise Yeast)
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45
degrees C)
About 2 1/2 cups bread flour (Can
use all-purpose flour)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In
a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and
sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in
flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth.
Let rest for 5 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a lightly
floured surface and pat or roll into
a round. Transfer crust to a lightly
greased pizza pan or baker’s peel
dusted with cornmeal. Let rise
and then par-bake the crust till just
slightly baked. About 3 to 4 minutes.
Take out and spread with desired
sauce and toppings. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or
until golden brown. Let baked pizza
cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Press the dough out on a greased
pizza pan. Leave it on the thick side.
Let raise some and poke dents in
the top of the dough. Drizzle with
olive oil and top with fresh oregano, thyme, basil and crushed garlic. Sprinkle with grated cheese of
choice. Bake and enjoy.
Calzones
Take a ball of dough and press or
roll out in a circle. Make as large
or small as you want. Add sauce
and choice of filling. Fold over and
seal. Place on greased baking sheet
and bake at 400 degrees until lightly
golden.
Apple pizza
Prebake the pizza crust. Top the
prebaked crust with thin apple slices.
Top the apple slices with a Streusel
Topping:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown
sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Beat butter at medium speed
with an electric mixer until creamy;
gradually add granulated sugar and
brown sugar, beating well. Add
flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg; beat
just until blended. Bake in a 400 degree oven until apples are tender and
lightly browned crust. Make a glaze
and drizzle on warm pizza.
Glaze:
1 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir milk into sugar. Add vanilla.
Drizzle on pizza. Glaze may be
thickened with confectioners’ sugar
or thinned with milk. Makes about
1/2 cup of icing.
Fried Bread Dough Doughnut
Take a small ball of dough and fry
it until puffed and brown. Remove
from oil and place on rack or a clean
brown paper sack, while the balls are
still hot roll in a mixture of sugar and
cinnamon. Best eaten while warm.
Till next time use your imagination with the pizza crust recipe. Just
made a version of the cactus pizza
they make at Pizza Ranch. I had
raspberries to use so I made a raspberry glaze to top the pizza.
Breadsticks
I have taken pieces of the dough
and formed bread sticks. Roll the

Lady Trojans Move To 13-6 Overall
Turkey Valley’s volleyball team
has been consistently putting away
wins this season and this last week
was not any different. Although they
did take two losses, they were both
hard fought games with slim margins.
@ Cresco Tourney 9.12.14
On Saturday, September 12, the
Lady Trojans played in a tournament
in Cresco taking 4th place overall.
“We had illness on the team but
managed to squeak out 4th place,”
noted Coach Tammy Vrzak. “We
finished 1st in our pool and played
very well. We played New Hampton
in the 1st round in the tournament
and the games were close and good.
You could see the illness take its toll Stephanie Martin goes to battle at the net against a Starmont opponent as
though.”

@ MFL-MM 9.17
South Winn picked up their first
UIC win of the season last Thursday
night in Monona when they played
the MFL-MarMac Bulldogs.
The Lady Warriors took three
straight games from the Bulldogs but
had to work to get them. Final tallies
were 25-20, 25-18 and 25-17.
“We were able to put some things
together out on the court that we have
been working on in practice,” noted
Coach Darcy Einck. “Our offense
was exciting to watch. Payton and
Taylor took control of the offense and
ran it very effectively.”

@ Springville Tourney 9.19
On Saturday, the Ladies traveled
to Springville to play in their annual
tournament and finished the day 1-3.
“We did not start the day with the
quickness and intensity we needed,
which led to too many unforced errors. We tried many girls in different positions as we work to continue
to find our strongest lineup,” Einck
said. “We had some girls step into
those new roles and play very well.”

Warriors Hold On To Homecoming Win, 8-6
In a very tough and tense defensive battle,
the South Winn Warriors took a win from
2A New Hampton in their last non-district
game of the season on Homecoming night.
This is the second year in a row that SW has
topped the Chickasaws on the gridiron.
“It was nice to see our kids grind out a
tough win against a very physical Class
2A opponent,” complimented Coach Jason
Ohrt. “Our defense played almost a perfect
game and made big stands several times.”
Only two drives in the whole game finished in the end zone, one for SW and one for
NH. The Warriors scored first with a 31-yard
TD run by Ben Meyer followed by a 2pt rush
conversion carried by Mitch Herold putting
SW on the board with 8 points.
Despite their best efforts, neither team
was able to score in the second or third quarters pushing the intensity of the game to extreme heights.
Treyton Jacobsen led the way on the
ground assault carrying the ball 18 times to
tally 119 yards while Ben Meyer averaged
11.3 yards per carry on 3 plays with one TD.
Late in the fourth quarter, New Hampton charged down the field scoring from
the one-yard line to bring their chances
back to the front but the Warriors stopped
the 2pt conversion to maintain a slight lead.
Despite several penalties which ruined scoring drives for SW, they kept the Chickasaws
from scoring again to win their 2015 Homecoming game 8-6.
Cole Schmitt racked up 9 total tackles
including 8 solo tackles with Nathan Ward
closely behind at 6 total tackles.
“Our coaching staff did a nice job of preparing the team for this contest. We were a
little disappointed in the lack of ball security
on offense and the penalties that eliminated
some big plays. All those things we will
need to improve on to meet our team goals
for the season,” Ohrt finished.

Trojans Victorious In Homecoming Game 62-16
Junior Cody Hackman led the
Trojans to their 2015 Homecoming
victory over the West Central Blue
Devils as he carried the ball for five
touchdowns, ran for two 2pt conversions, completed one passing TD
and two passing 2pt conversions for
a total of 215 offensive yards and 34
of the team points.
The win puts Turkey Valley at 3-1
overall and 2-0 in the district.
TV scored a total of eight TDs,
six 2pt conversions and one safety
while giving up just two scoring
drives to the Blue Devils to win 6216.
“We played well. Both offensively and defensively,” noted Coach
Mark Scott. “Cody Hackman had a
great game running the football.”
Junior Wyatt Blazek completed
two rushing TDs and one 2pt conversion to mark 148 offensive yards
and 14 points. Evan Busta scored
on two conversion plays and caught
the only pass TD of the night, adding 10 points to the tally while Will
Einwalter had one 2pt conversion.
The last score of the night was a defensive sack by John Gossling and
Scott Kime in TV’s end zone for
two points, the only points of the 4th
quarter.
“Our defense front did a great job
all night of not letting their QB set
in the pocket to throw,” added Scott.
