Calmarʼs First Annual Haunted 5K Frightfully Fun
By Annette Kriener
The Calmar Commercial Club
hosted their first annual Haunted
5K Fun Run/Walk this past Saturday evening, October 18 in beautiful fall weather. Around 160 brave
souls ran through the eerie, decorated trail encountering numerous
spooks, ghosts, clowns, and other
frightening sights. Community
members of all ages enjoyed the
haunting put on by various groups
including CFSR, the Calmar Commercial Club, the cross country
team and many of the homeowners near the trail. Money raised
from the 5K as well as the stew
supper and live entertainment held
afterwards will go towards future
Calmar Commercial Club events
including the Thanksgiving Turkey Drawing, Christmas in Calmar
(mark your calendars for December 4), Easter Egg Hunt and more.
A drawing was held for all registered 5K participants for two dinner and theater tickets to Chanhas-
sen Dinner Theater in Chanhassen,
MN. Amy Buddenberg of Decorah
was the lucky winner of that drawing.
Thank you to everyone who
participated and who worked hard
to make this event such a success.

The October meeting of the Turkey Valley Clovers was held
at the Fort Atkinson library on the 5th at 3:30. Roll call was taken
with 24 members present. The pledge was said by Jessica Schmitt
and the 4-H Pledge by Savannah Schmitt. A fun thing the club did
this year was put their names in a basket to win a small, medium, or giant pumpkin. A presentation was Nicole Schmitt about
sponsoring a child in need and her family’s fun time doing that.
The 4-H club is helping with a blood drive on the 22nd of October
at the Fort Atkinson Community Center. They are also currently
selling Christmas wreathes and they will be done by Thanksgiving
time. The club discussed Christmas caroling and adopting a family
through Northeast Iowa Community Action, two things the clubs
tries to do every year to help out the community. The last thing
mentioned was helping with the annual Supper with Santa, which
is Wednesday, December 3rd from 5-8 pm. After having a snacks

South Winn students attend photojournalism conference
Mrs. Adam’s publications students attended a photojournalism conference, on Thursday, October 16, at
the Decorah High School.
The conference was hosted by Dan Patters from
Jostens and Rollin Banderob of Photo Pro in Cedar
Rapids.
The students learned about blur, exposure, shutter
speed, aperture, ISO, and composition.
The students practiced by taking some portrait and
group photos. Rollin and Dan helped the students
with their cameras to make sure they were using the
correct settings to capture the perfect photo.

Neighbor to Neighbor
By Sharon Busch
October is pork month. If you
haven’t noticed or heard bacon is
in high demand. Not turkey bacon
either, it’s the bacon that comes
from pigs. Consumers are eating
more bacon at home and definitely
more when dining out. A top dish
is bacon-wrapped brats and dogs.
Bacon is used to make appetizers
and elaborate sandwiches. Bacon
is sprinkled on ice cream, made
into a jam and even made into a
beer.
Comfort Country-Style Ribs
Recipe from
PorkBeInspired.com
3 pounds country-style pork
ribs
6 cups red cabbage, finely
sliced (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 medium onion, sliced
1 apple, peeled, cored, and
sliced
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the cabbage, onion and apple in the bottom of a 4-quart casserole or Dutch oven and season
to taste with salt and pepper. Heat
a couple tablespoons of olive oil
in a sauté pan over medium-high
heat. Add pork ribs and cook until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes,
turning to brown each side. Remove pork and place over cabbage.
Pour off fat. Combine vinegar and
brown sugar in a small bowl. Add
to pan, stirring to remove browned
bits from bottom of pan. Pour
over ribs and cabbage. Cover and
bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the
internal temperature reaches 155
degrees F., pork is tender and cabbage is cooked. Makes 8 servings.
Serving Suggestions: MacIntosh,
Gala and Granny Smith apples are
good cooking apples and will hold
their shape after baking. Serve
with roasted potatoes.
Bacon and Sweet Potato Biscuits with Smoky Honey Butter
Recipe from
PorkBeInspired.com
Biscuits:
2 slices bacon, cut crosswise
into 1/4-inch strips
1 medium orange-fleshed
sweet potato, OR 2 small sweet
potatoes (14-16 ounces total),
peeled
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon allspice
8 tablespoons unsalted butter,
cut into 1/2-inch cubes and
chilled
1 cup buttermilk, (low-fat is
okay)
Honey Butter:
8 tablespoons unsalted butter,
softened
2 tablespoons honey
Salt
Wrap the sweet potato with a
damp paper towel and microwave
on high until very soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, mash with
a potato masher, and set aside to
cool. Meanwhile, in a medium
skillet over medium heat, cook
the bacon until golden and crisp,
about 8 minutes. Use a slotted
spoon to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, and then set
aside to cool. Carefully set aside
2 tablespoons of bacon drippings
from the skillet. Preheat oven to
375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the
flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and allspice and
pulse a few times. Add the cubed
butter and pulse to make a coarse
meal with a few pea-sized pieces.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl
and gently mix in the bacon, buttermilk, and 1 cup of the mashed
sweet potato (save any remaining
potato for another use). Transfer
mixture to a floured work surface
and knead a few times to form
dough. Pat the dough to about
1-inch thick, then gently fold in
half. Gently repeat 4 more times.
Roll the dough out to 3/4-inch
thick, and then use a floured 2 1/2inch biscuit cutter to cut dough
into biscuits, arranging them on
the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat to make a
total of 12 biscuits. Bake until the
biscuits are browned and a tester
comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the softened
butter, honey, and reserved bacon
drippings, mixing until smooth.
Add salt to taste. Serve the biscuits with the honey butter on the
side. Yield: 12 biscuits.
The following recipe comes
from a co-worker. He suggested
the recipe for not only the delicious meal that it makes, but it’s
also easy and quick. He has added
potatoes to it. You can also do the
recipe with a beef roast. I would
try it with rice or barley. Use your
own preferences.
Pork Roast
Pork roast
1 can of Pepsi
1 package of dry Lipton Soup
mix
1 can mushroom soup
1 small can of mushrooms
chopped and drained
Pepper to taste
Place all in a roaster. Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Cook the
roast for about 3 hours or until done. This recipe can also be
cooked using a crock pot. Just add
a vegetable and or salad and you
have an easy and great meal.
Till next time a salute to our
great pork producers and their
families. Thank you for your hard
work and for giving us a wonderful product to enjoy.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor
The AAUW sponsored forum
on October 11 at Luther College
provided an opportunity to compare and contrast the local candidates for political office with
audience submitted questions. I
was particularly interested that the
answers of the two candidates for
the Iowa House, Rick Edwards,
Democrat, and Darrel Branhagan,
Republican, illustrate their differences.
Both support healing our roads
and infrastructure through additional taxes but Edward’s idea for
implementation is much more progressive. Because a gas tax is regressive, he would like additional
funds to come from other sources
like the state surplus. If there were
a gas tax there should also be a tax
credit for low income Iowans. His
opponent’s solution is only to raise
the gas tax by 10 cents per gallon.
On the issue of Iowa’s minimum wage, Edward’s favors raising it to $10.10 per hour and backs
up his position with studies from
other states that have also raised
theirs without an impact on job
loss. He believes no one should
work 40 hours per week and live
in poverty. His opponent opposes
raising it claiming it is a job killer.
Edwards does not support
school vouchers. They “would rob
public schools and it would be a
disaster. Iowa is already 39th in the
nation in per pupil spending on education. You can’t take away more
from public schools.” Branhagen
thinks school vouchers are a good
idea and would improve public
schools because they would foster
competition between schools.
There is a difference in these
two candidates and how they
would represent us in the Iowa
House. I hope that you agree with
me that Rick Edwards better represents the values of the people
in Winneshiek County and your
values and that you will give him
your vote .

Darrel Branhagen for State House 55
Darrel Branhagen is the Republican candidate for Iowa House
District 55. Darrel has returned
to his home in northeast Iowa after serving his country in the US
Army rising to the rank of Colonel. I believe his vast experience
has made him uniquely qualified
to serve the citizens of northeast
Iowa.
Darrel will work in our state
legislature to provide opportunities for businesses in northeast
Iowa to thrive and provide good
paying jobs for our young people.
Darrel recognizes that agriculture
is the backbone of our local economies and that our farmers need
support to preserve our valuable
resources.
Darrel believes in the rights of
each citizen to determine his own
destiny along with each individual being personally responsible as
long as they are able. Darrel believes that government is needed
for our society to work but that
government control should remain at the local and state level as
much as possible. Darrel believes
that free market principles are best
for prosperity in America verses
government central planning with
resulting cronyism.
Darrel will not be a “yes man”
voting as the state political party
directs as has been the history in
northeast Iowa.
Please vote for traditional Iowa
values and increasing prosperity in
District 55. Vote Darrel Branhagen
Arlan Paulson
Ossian
Ameling supports the Democratic candidates
Governments were created to
protect the rights/equality of its
members, (life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness). Those rights are being bought by the billionaires. We
must vote to reverse this.
Start by voting Bruce Braley
for US Senate. Bruce voted for
equal pay for women, the minimum living wage and for the ACA
(Iowa’s version is TerryCare) for
the uninsured. Joni Ernst is both
for and against the ACA and EPA
(check Tuesday’s debate).
Then vote Pat Murphy for US
House. Pat worked across the aisle
to get things done. Blum will work
for gridlock. Rod says Iowa’s
economy stinks while Branstad
says it’s great - ?.
Next vote Jack Hatch for Governor. Jack works for all Iowans.
Branstad works for the elite (top
rate income tax cut). Rod Blum
says Branstad is a career politician
and should be retired.
Finish by voting Rick Edwards
for Iowa House. Rick has 19 years
experience protecting Iowa’s resources. Darrel has a problem – his
party. The GOP/TP has/is BANKRUPTING Kansas, Missouri,
Wisconsin, Michigan and lusts for
Iowa.
Imagine how much better off
the USA would be if the GOP/TP
had worked FOR the USA instead
of for themselves.

Trails Unlimited
Snowmobile Club
announces new
groomer has arrived
Although snowflakes aren’t flying
yet, the Trails Unlimited Snowmobile
Club members are already jumping
for joy with the arrival of an updated
groomer, thanks to their strong participation with the Iowa State Snowmobile
Association (ISSA).
Each year ISSA, in coordination
with the Iowa DNR Snowmobile program, reviews snowmobile club activity, expenses, and needs of the 58 clubs
throughout the entire state. In addition
to fundraising efforts, club member recruitment, relationships with area landowners and local businesses, and overall structure and reputation of the club,
ISSA has seen some tremendous growth
of the Trails Unlimited Snowmobile
club over recent years.
Most snowmobile groomers seen
throughout northeast Iowa are owned by
the Iowa DNR. Together, with the input
of the ISSA, these groomers are put in
the direct control of the local clubs. It is
the local clubs responsibility to take care
of the machine and treat it as their own.
According to Bud Winter, Trails Unlimited Club President, “There isn’t an
exact science to where and when clubs
will get new or updated machines. As a
general rule, clubs with the most miles
of trails, most heavily traveled trails and
active club participation are those who
see updated equipment most often.”
Winter added, “It’s obvious that
hard-working clubs are rewarded with
updated equipment. They want to see
that we have a vested interest and we’ll
take good care of their resources. Our
club is very fortunate for the opportunity to be responsible for the machine we
just received - a 2012 Prinoth Trooper.”
Because of a friendly partnership
with nearby Driftrunners Snowmobile
Club, based in Cresco, Trails Unlimited was able to borrow this machine
last year to groom the longest and most
rugged trail which spans from Ossian to
West Union.
“The groomer
our club had last
year was simply not
capable of doing
the job,” said Winter. “We made sure
to communicate
this major issue to
ISSA.”
“Our partnership with ISSA isn’t
free,” said Winter.
“We have committed to contributing $10,000 to the snowmobile groomer program. Fundraising,
club sponsorships and donations will be
crucial for us to hit our goal.”
The club has started a fundraising
campaign to hit and hopefully surpass
their groomer fund goal.
“Three lead donors have made substantial contributions to get things started; The Zipper in Festina, Bank 1st of
West Union and St. Lucas and Mihm
Brothers in Fort Atkinson.”
“If you or your business is positively impacted by the efforts of our club
and the sport of snowmobiling, we ask
you to make a contribution towards our
club,” said Winter. “Simply paying
your state registration is not enough,”
said Winter. “Our club, and all the clubs
that surrounds us, spend countless hours
throughout the year working our tails
off to ensure the trails are enjoyable
and safe. It takes an army, not only to
maintain the trails, but to host fundraising events, gain business support, build
relationships with landowners, carry-out
fundraising projects, write grants, build
signs, and pay for all the gas and groomer maintenance. We want your help and
we need your help. Please support our
club.”
The club is also promoting a trailer
raffle. A $10 ticket will enter registrants
into the drawing for a single axle steel
trailer (16' long, 76" wide, 2" ball,
3500# GVW), built by club member
Sam Wenthold. Trailer sponsors include
Walter Wenthold Excavating Inc, Moss
Roofing & Insulation, Mihm Brothers
Inc., Hawkeye Grain, Holthaus Electric
LLC, Reicks Landscapes LLC, Sherwin Williams, C.A.S.H. Inc., Myers
Trucking LLC, Bemiss Distributing and
Lynch Companies. All proceeds will
support the groomer fund.
The trailer raffle winner will be
drawn at the Trails Unlimited Chicken Dinner Fundraiser and Membership
Drive on Friday, November 7, at The
Zipper in Festina. Mike Reicks’ famous chicken will be served along with
broasted potatoes, coleslaw and roll.
Serving begins at 5 p.m., everyone is
welcome.
“We have a great season to look forward to as well as a special anniversary
to celebrate,” said Winter.
Trails Unlimited Snowmobile Club
will celebrate its 30th Anniversary
on January 10, 2015. The celebration
will be held at the brand new Waucoma
Events Center and include a BBQ meal
from 5-8 p.m. and DJ entertainment
from 8 to midnight. This event will be
open to the public.

South Winn cruises past Clayton Ridge, 66-14
SW’s Jordan Rommes flies over the goal line to pick up another TD for South Winn at the DNH game.
By Ryan Harvey
The South Winn football team
played host to Clayton Ridge on
Friday night and walked away
with a convincing 66-14 victory.
“We were able to come out and
establish a solid running attack,”
Coach Jason Ohrt said. “Our offensive and defensive lines won
the battle on the line of scrimmage.”
The Warriors rolled up 525
yards of offense on the night while
holding Clayton Ridge to just 161.
Ryan Hageman got the offense
going, scoring four touchdowns
on seven carries.
He scored the first two touchdowns of the night, bulling his
way in from one yard out and slicing through the defense for a 36
yard score in the first quarter. He
also added a two yard run in the
second quarter and a 50 yard jaunt
in the third.
“Ethan Kipp played very well
at offensive tackle and Landers
Kuboushek, Carson Lensing and
Luis Uribe helped put pressure on
Clayton Ridge’s offense,” Ohrt
said.
Through the air, Logan Schweinefus completed 5-of-8 passes
for 139 yards and two scores.
Jordan Rommes was the top
target, catching three passes for 79
yards. Christian Kleve caught a 47
yard TD strike and Carson Lensing added a 13 yard score.
The Warriors scored on defense
as well as Kleve returned a pick
six from six yards out while Ben
Meyer added a 27 yard interception return.
The final score came from
Luke Massman’s one yard rush in
the fourth quarter.
“We have one more test next
week before the playoffs,” Ohrt
said. “Having the opportunity to
compete for a 9-0 regular season
record and winning the district
outright is a special accomplishment that our guys have talked
about achieving since the end of
last season. We will be ready to
go.”
South Winn will hold senior
night on Friday against Hudson.
The Pirates are 5-2 on the year and
are led by dual threat quarterback
Dylan Hassmann. Hassman has
thrown for 1,244 yards while rushing for 362 on the ground.

Turkey Valley thumps CVCS, 68-7

Blazek (#21) holds onto a Central ball carrier’s legs as teammate Bryce Biermann (#66) applies pressure

By Ryan Harvey
Turkey Valley used a balanced
offensive approach to cruise past
Cedar Valley Christian School in
Cedar Rapids on Friday night, 687.
“We played well with very
few mistakes,” Coach Mark Scott
said. “Defensively we kept their
quarterback contained most of the
game. Justin Hackman had several punt returns that gave us a very
short field for offense. Most of our
young players got some varsity
playing time Friday night.’’
The Trojans featured a balanced offensive attack as seven
backs had carries on the night and
five of them found the end zone.
“A reporter asked me about our
balanced rushing attack with multiple backs sharing the load,” the
coach said. “What it really is is a
testament to Coach Stepan and the
offensive line. The job the front
five (Travis Reicks, Levi Klimesh,
Clayton Eichenberger, Tyler Sawyer and Kyle Balik) does allows us
to have multiple threats in the back
field.”
Wyatt Blazek carried the ball

just five times for 34 yards with
three touchdowns.
Justin Kime added five carries
for 39 yards and a score while
freshman Cale Reicks added nine
tries for 47 yards, including a 33
yard jaunt to paydirt.
Freshman Will Einwalter also
added a score, carrying the ball
seven times for 50 yards, including

Lucy Nieman, Bree Balk, Maria Klimesh, JD Kruse, Colton Kurtenbach,
Miguel Diaz and all Turkey Valley students and staff say “Thank You” to
Mracek Plumbing, Heating & Electric and the Turkey Valley School Board.
Turkey Valley has new
hand washing stations
You might hear a new comment or two in the hallways at Turkey
Valley Elementary. You might hear some students say, “Wash your hands
and fingers for any germ that lingers!” or “Drown a germ and wash your
hands!” The hand washing stations installed in our building over 50
years ago have served us well, but have outlived their usefulness. With
the support of our School Board and support from Mracek Plumbing,
Heating and Electric, we now have two brand new hand washing stations
in the Elementary end of the building. Mracek Plumbing, Heating and
Electric donated one of the stations. We are so grateful to them for their
generous donation. “Let your fingers do the washing” is a part of every
elementary student’s routine, but it’s a lot easier when the new wash
stations are a part of our school building. Thank you again to the Turkey
Valley School Board and Mracek Plumbing, Heating and Electric!

Winneshiek Medical Center is
pleased to announce that Darlene
Frana, volunteer and Auxiliary
Board president, has received a
2014 Iowa Hospital Association
Shining Star Award. She accepted the award at the Iowa Hospital
Association annual conference in
Des Moines. Darlene was nominated for the award by WMC volunteer coordinator, Karla Bakken.
Serving as Gift Shop manager
for many years, Darlene helped
create a boutique that draws staff,
patients and the general public into
the medical center to shop. Since
retiring from the position, she still
regularly volunteers her time to
work in the Gift Shop, donates
hand-made items to sell, and decorates the space to celebrate the
seasons. Bakken says, “Darlene
works hard to make the WMC Gift
Shop a place where people want to
come.”
In addition to serving as the
Auxiliary Board president, Darlene has held other offices on the
board and volunteers to serve
on multiple event committees
throughout the
year. Each February, Darlene shares
her love of baking
with the WMC
staff by providing
home-made pretzel sticks and candy suckers for the
Auxiliary’s annual
Valentine’s Day
sale.
In the nomination, Bakken
wrote, “Darlene

New Affordable Care Act initiative to
support care coordination nationwide
The Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) today
announced the availability of a
new initiative for Accountable
Care Organizations (ACOs) participating in the Medicare Shared
Savings Program. Made possible
by the Affordable Care Act, ACOs
encourage quality improvement
and care coordination through the
use of health information technology, helping to move our health
care system to one that values
quality over quantity and preventing illness over treating people after they get sick.
The new ACO Investment
Model is designed to bring these
efforts to better coordinate care
to rural and underserved areas by
providing up to $114 million in
upfront investments to up to 75
ACOs across the country.
“The ACO Investment Model
will give Medicare Accountable
Care Organizations more flexibility in setting quality and financial
goals, while giving them greater
accountability for delivering quality care efficiently,” said CMS
Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.
“We are working with these organizations to make necessary in-
vestments that encourage doctors,
hospitals and other health care
providers to work together to better coordinate care and keep people healthy.”
Through the CMS Innovation
Center, this initiative will provide
up front investments in infrastructure and redesigned care process
to help eligible ACOs continue to
provide higher quality care. This
will help increase the number of
beneficiaries – regardless of geographic location – that can benefit
from lower costs and improved
health care through Medicare
ACOs. CMS will recover these
payments through an offset of an
ACO’s earned shared savings.
Eligibility is targeted to ACOs
who joined the Shared Savings
Program in 2012, 2013, 2014, and
to new ACOs joining the Shared
Savings Program in 2016. The
application deadline for organizations that started in the Shared
Savings Program in 2012 or 2013
will be December 1, 2014. Applications will be available in the
Summer of 2015 for ACOs that
started in the Shared Savings Program in 2014 or will start in 2016.
Recently, ACOs in the Pioneer
ACO Model and the Medicare
Shared Savings Program generated over $372 million in total program savings for Medicare ACOs
while also improving the quality
care delivered to Medicare beneficiaries.
ACOs are one part of the overall effort provided by the Affordable Care Act to help lower costs
and improve care and quality. For
example, the Affordable Care Act
has helped reduce hospital readmissions in Medicare by nearly 10 percent between 2007 and
2013 – translating into 150,000
fewer readmissions – and quality
improvements has resulted in saving 15,000 lives and $4 billion in
health spending during 2011 and
2012.

Martin continues to grow business in Calmar
Story and photos by Joyce
Meyer
Kelly Martin moved his business from Decorah last spring to
113 North Maryville St. in Calmar and is revving up business in
the area. Recently, you may have
noticed his new sign on the side
of his business building. Kelly
bought the place from Tom and
Mary Welch after it was left empty
after the couple moved their business to the Old Depot in Calmar. Before that the business was
owned and run by Mary Welch’s
father and for many years was the
home of Rolfes Jewelry store.
Kelly Martin has been active
in the small engine field for over
37 years now and he and his wife,
Tina, felt that Calmar is the right fit
for him. He does pick up and deliver and is only a phone call away
at 562-419-7341. Services he
provides are small engine repair,
lawn mower repair and sharpening, snow blower repair, chainsaw
repair, ATV repair, motorcycle
and scooter repair, gas skid-loader
repair, high performance go-cart
engines, welding and fabrication
work, and general maintenance.
“From a quick tune up to complete engine rebuilds including
cylinder boring and valve grinding, we’ll get you back up and
running fast and at the most reasonable prices. We have an inventory of parts on hand or available
in two days or less that will cover
almost any brand of equipment
you might bring in. Experience
awesome service and top quality
workmanship,” says experienced
Kelly.
Got a problem with your
skid-loader? Bring it on in and let
us fix it or give you a quick tune
up! We also specialize in high performance go-cart engines. A number of our engines win regularly at
several area tracks. You’ll find that
we stock high-performance parts
for these engines.
Early on Kelly knew what he
loved to do, “ I began working on
lawnmowers at age 12, built my
first motorcycle from three parts
of bikes when I was 13 and was
hired as a professional motorcy-
cle mechanic at Brent’s Decorah
Sports Center at age 15.”
As he was busy putting up the
sign recently he told of his plans,
“I plan to grow my business exponentially in the next few years
to fill the void for quick service
in the area, and cover everything
from chainsaws, snow blowers,
and lawnmowers to quads and
motorcycles with prompt efficient
service. I also sell lawnmowers,
chainsaws, and snowblowers. I
plan to increase my inventory and
service technician staff to achieve
this.”
“I want the public to know
I provide prompt, professional, courteous service! We can
weld just about anything you can
dream up. And we like a challenge! Please stop in and experience our commitment to prompt,
professional, courteous service!
Our hours are Monday to Friday
8:30 to 5 and Saturdays from 9 to
noon,” says hardworking Kelly.
His client list besides individuals includes small to medium-sized businesses, manufactur-

Adam attends
IBEA state
convention
The Iowa Business Education
Association held its annual fall
convention at the Stoney Creek
Convention Center in Des Moines
on October 12 and 13. The theme,
“IBEA: Meeting the Challenge”,
provided the framework for educational tracks on technology,
finance, business, and general interest.
Bridget Adam from the South
Winneshiek High School was one
of over 125 Iowa business educators who attended the convention.
Presenters from industry, education, and publishing companies
provided timely information on a
wide range of topics. Bridget attended several breakout sessions
which included: Winning the
Money Game, Free Tech Tools for
Teachers, Differentiated Learning
in the Business Classroom, Chasing a Moving Target, and Strategies to Energize Your Classroom.
Roundtable discussions were held
to facilitate sharing of methods
in a variety of subjects including
keyboarding and general business. There were also sessions on
regional business advisory committees and quality business and
marketing program initiatives.
Represented by exhibitors were
business education textbooks and
software, student professional organizations, and businesses with
educational and personal interests
for teachers.
This year’s keynote speaker
was Tonya Skinner, High School
Business Teacher at Jackson Senior High, in Missouri. Teaching
technology is her passion, she was
one of the first business teachers in
the country to share lesson plans
online. Though business and finance education are interesting
and fun to teach as well she spends
the majority of her workload in
technology instruction, namely
Web Design, Graphic Design, and
Multimedia courses.
Organizations and businesses
from many Iowa cities and towns
generously supported the convention with monetary contributions
as well as donations of door prizes
and favors.

Turkey Valley Elementary Fire Prevention Week October 5-11
Fire Prevention Week has
been observed on the Sunday
through Saturday period in
which October 9th falls since
1922. The theme for fire prevention week this year was “Smoke
Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours
Every Month.” Students in
grades Kindergarten through
4th participated in our local fire
department’s “Fire Prevention
Poster Contest”. They chose a
1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winner from
each grade level. The winning
posters will move on to the county level contest. Our first place
winners got to ride to school on a
fire truck on Friday, October 10.
Each year, the Waucoma Fire
Department gives our students
gift items for fire prevention
week. This year they gave each
student a cinch activity bag with
the Fire Prevention theme on it.
Members of our local fire departments visited school during the
week. Jerry Vrzak talked to our
PreK-6th grade students about
