New Bakery Opens in Spillville
By Joyce Meyer
As crowds of people bustled in
to Taylor Made B&B for the open
house of Shirley’s Bakery they were
met with wisps of tantalizing smells
in the air Wednesday evening, October 28 in Spillville. Shirley and
John Mikota, along with volunteers
and daughter-in-law Chevron, were
busy filling platters of scrumptious
delicacies at different tables in three
rooms. Christmas cookies, chocolate candies, breads, pies and more
were on the sampling tables. They
had lots of their goodies for sale
that night, but normally you need to
preorder the baked goods to ensure
freshness and quality. Don’t worry if
you missed the fun, Shirley is donating cookies for the refreshment table
during Spillville Library Vendor Fair
Sunday afternoon, November 22
from 1 to 4 p.m. Sherry Bouska is
also donating some of her kolaches
for the event as well. Both are asked
to provide pre-order forms.
The bakery is a preorder business
inside of the owners Taylor Made
B&B in Spillville, mainly taking preorders during their off season from
November to April. Shirley says,
“For the next few months, no need to
stand in the kitchen all day, pre-order
your holiday baking today!”
And why not? The baked goods
are delicious and the price is very
reasonable! Plus, this year you
won’t have to clean up the kitchen
if Shirley does the baking! Spritz
assorted Christmas cookies come
in a box with 50 cookies for $5. Another favorite are the lemon thumbprint cookies come in a box of two
dozen for $15, and pies (apple, triple
berry, pecan, banana cream, lemon

grade students performed the
song Thank You, Soldiers for
the many guests, while high
schooler choir members led
the community with the National Anthem. Speaker for
the day was sixth grader Dale
Schwamman, son of Jay and
Mary of Fort Atkinson. Dale
spoke of his opportunity to
participate with the Veteran
Honor Flight program that his
father and great-uncle Myles Kupka shared. Dale also
shared Myles’ story as well as
those of Dennis Boyer, Norbert Shileny and Bill Hurd.
He then went on to encourage

Pre-Employment Strategies Students Gain
Knowledge from Local Business Leaders
Turkey Valley has required a class
called Senior Careers for all high
school seniors to participate in since
the mid 1990s. It was created by former instructors Pat Sheridan, Patty
O’Hollearn, Mary Jo Hangartner and
Janet Carspecken in an effort to give
students an upper-hand in the world
of employment as they left the halls
of Turkey Valley. The class recently
received dual credit status through
Northeast Iowa Community College
and is now called Pre-Employment
Strategies and continues to incorporate the skills of resume writing,
interviewing skills, business letter
writing, workplace issues, scholarship application and presentation
skills, as well as for the first time
this year, adding the National Career Readiness Certificate. As part of
this class students attend an etiquette
luncheon where they spend an hour
and a half working through the finer
skills of dining as if on a business interview. Students participate in a day
of mock interviews with local business people and have multiple speakers from throughout the area sharing
real world helpful hints as they prepare for life beyond Turkey Valley.
Sixth graders prepare for their
ceremony honoring local veterans
and auxiliary members.

Palmerʼs Cider Making
Steeped in Family Tradition
Story by Joyce Meyer
Steeped in family tradition, the
antique cider press was rolled out
again this fall as neighbors, family
and friends gathered to pick apples
and make apple cider on the Palmer
homestead by Castalia.
Alice Linderbaum Palmer proudly explains the tradition. “The cider
press was purchased by my grandfather, Charles F. Linderbaum, Sr.
The (cider) press dates to 1880s
but we’re not exactly sure when he
bought it. He died in 1962 at age 83.
The Linderbaum family tradition of
making apple cider goes back to my
grandfather. There was a large orchard where our orchard stands and
they made fresh cider as well as hard
cider. Our best apple is from a tree
that Grandpa planted. We don’t know
the name, but it is a harvest apple that
needs a hard frost to make it sweet.
We now add delicious apples for a
nice juice. To can the cider, I like to
let it stand overnight--impurities settle to the bottom. I bring it to a boil
(skimming off any foam) and pour
into sterilized jars. I cold pack for ten
minutes.”
The crew this year was Jim Sr.
and Alice Palmer and their son Jim
Jr. and wife Caite Palmer who now
live on the homestead, with help
from Jake Holthaus and Sarah Olson
who picked apples (Sarah climbed
the trees and shook many of the apples out for the crew as well); Jake
Holthaus, Kevin Meyer, Jen Zweibohmer and her sons Alex Zweibohmer and Dalton Harvey helped
with pressing. Also attending were
Chris Hackman, Heidi Cook and
Matt Linderbaum with his children
Katie and Will. The work was worth
it as they tasted the fruit of their labor
realizing they had best, fresh apple
cider that had the sweet taste of delicious apples blended in. Everyone
was invited to bring home a jar of
apple cider as they left.
Just like the pioneers, Palmer’s
opened their home and celebrated
the fall harvest with their community, family and friends, making priceless memories to cherish and to pass
down to another generation.
meringue, chocolate cream, coconut cream) are $12 for a large pie.
Breads (buttermilk white, wheat,
onion bread, pumpernickel rye bread
are $5 a loaf, while sweet breads
(banana nut or pumpkin) are $12 a
loaf to name a few of Shirley’s list on
her pre-order form. They also make
gluten free baked goods as well.
Also the B&B will be on the “Magic
of Christmas” home tours the first
weekend in December.
It didn’t take long for new owner
Shirley Mikota to step into the role of
the former B&B owner, the late Clarabelle Taylor, and start taking baking
orders. Shirley got the love of baking from her Grandma Callen, who
was also a 4-H teacher. One of the
most popular breads Shirley makes
is the onion bread and the recipe was
handed down to Shirley from that
same grandmother.
Clarabelle Taylor’s legacy lives
on as Shirley and John Mikota from
Twin Falls, Idaho reopened Taylor Made Bed and Breakfast at 330
South Main Street and now Shirley’s
Bakery as well.
Also for John Mikota, it was coming home to his Czech heritage. A
few years ago, John researched his
family tree and found that many of
his Mikota descendants settled in
Spillville in 1854. Now the couple
have settled in this quaint community and enjoy getting to know the
residents and visitors to their B&B.

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.
On the evening of Nov. 21, 1995 Martha Erickson, 47, was murdered while
on her way to a dance. Her body was
discovered the following day in Avon
Lake’s shallow water. She had been
beaten and stabbed. Police say the body
offered few clues due to time spent in
the water, and that they couldn’t even
say for sure whether Erickson had been
sexually assaulted.
Erickson
enjoyed
helping
SHRSOH ¿JKW
their demons, and often attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings even
though she wasn’t an alcoholic.
After Erickson’s death, it was discovered that she was an acquaintance
of two other murdered women: Susan
Kersten, whose severely burned body
had been found two months earlier
near Iowa City; and Donna Lee Marshall, who was found shot in the head
in her home in Bon Aire Mobile Home
Lodge in Iowa City in January 1996.
But the investigation into the acquaintance of all three women yielded nothing substantial.

Letter to the Editor
To The Editor:
Turkey Valley parents, you have reason to be SO proud! On Veteran’s Day,
along with Veterans and other Auxiliary members, I was greeted by students
at the door, escorted by a nice, young man (thank you Rolin), and invited to
a reception prepared and served by the Family Consumer Science students...
and they served a bunch of us!!!
Following an IMPRESSIVE parade of the colors by all local units, we
were welcomed again, joined in the National Anthem, and were recipients
of a motivating talk by a dynamic student speaker, Dale Schwamman. Students prepared a very professional video of all communities involved; which
included accompaniment music by their own 6th grade and Chamber Choir.
This is where the lump in my throat turned to tears in my eyes.
We were individually recognized and thanked; and attention was given to
those currently serving in the United States and in foreign lands. The entire
student body, staff, and administration of Turkey Valley carried out the mission of the Auxiliary very well... “In the spirit of service, not self, our mission is to support the Legion and to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by
enhancing the lives of our veterans, military, and their families, both at home
and abroad.”
One can see there is great teaching and learning going on at Turkey Valley
School and in the homes of these students. Through the guidance of Mr.
South Winn’s 3-year-old preschoolers are shaking hands and thanking the The DeSales 7th & 8th graders planned and presented a Veterans Day program.

Linus Kriener
Linus Kriener, 88, of Fort Atkinson and Protivin, died Thursday, November 5, 2015 at the New Hampton Nursing and Rehab Center in New Hampton.
Mass of Christian Burial was
held on Saturday, November 14, at
10 a.m. at St. Luke’s Catholic Church
in St. Lucas with Father Nick March
as the officiant. Interment was in
the church cemetery with Military
Graveside Rites by Huber-Steffes
American Legion Post #672, Turkey
River VFW Post #3902, Fort Atkinson. Schluter-Balik Funeral Home
was in charge of the arrangements.
Linus Nick Kriener was born on
May 4, 1927, on the family farm
southwest of Fort Atkinson, the son
of Peter and Mary (Kuennen) Kriener. Linus attended St. Luke’s Catholic School and graduated in 1941.
He served proudly in the United
States Army from July 1954 to 1956.
He especially enjoyed his tour in
1927 - 2015
Germany where he was able to conServices:

years and also helped on the family
farms.
Linus lived in the Fort Atkinson/
Protivin area his entire life. He always encouraged his brothers to get out
in the spring and plant and was there to help harvest in the fall, driving the
grain cart. Linus enjoyed fishing and fixing any and all electronic devices
and machinery. He was a great cook and an avid gardener, always planting his potatoes on Good Friday. Reading, playing cards and engaging in a
good conversation about his German heritage or the past, always put a smile
on his face and a twinkle in his blue eyes. Linus believed in hard work and
saving for a rainy day. He loved and appreciated all phone calls and visits by
friends and relatives, especially in recent years after moving to New Hampton. While a resident at Kensington Assisted Living, Linus took great pride
in leading the rosary with a group of friends. He continued to pray faithfully
each day. Linus was blessed to be cared for by family and friends and the
very compassionate staff at New Hampton Nursing Home and Rehabilitation. His stories made long days short, and his great knowledge of spices and
their medicinal purposes were years ahead of his time. Linus never had a
harsh word for others and truly saw the blessings in each new day. He was a
member of St. Luke’s Catholic Church and Rosary Society, the Huber Steffes
American Legion Post #672 and the Turkey River VFW Post #3902.
Linus is survived by two sisters, Anita Busta, Fort Atkinson and Eleanor
Mracek, Protivin; four brothers, Conrad (Kathleen) Kriener, Peter (Diane)
Kriener and Jerome (Madonna) Kriener, all of Fort Atkinson and Herman
(Greta) Kriener, Decorah; sisters-in-law, Anastasia Kriener and Rosemary
Kriener of Fort Atkinson, along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces
and great-nephews.
Linus was preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Mary Kriener; five
brothers, Cyril, Francis, Ignatius, Leo and Lawrence in infancy; brothersand sister-in-law, Reuben Mracek, Godlove Busta and Pauline Kriener; one
niece, Annette Kriener and two nephews, Alan Kriener and Peter Kriener,
Jr. Until we meet again.

more. Season with salt and pepper to
taste. Divide the bacon-sprout mixture among four plates and serve immediately.
Note: Here is another way to enjoy brussels sprouts. They can be
grated raw and added to a salad. Top
the salad with crunchy bacon.
Till next time,
I have friends who are early birds and see the sun come up every morning
and rejoice in its beauty. I have friends who are night owls, they marvel at the
beauty of the stars and moon. And both of these groups get totally messed up
when it is daylight savings time change!
One of the early birds confessed that getting up at 4 a.m. due to the time
change was a little disconcerting - she didn’t know what to do with her time.
She wanted to make cookies, but the recipe called for using the blender and
she did not want to wake her sleeping husband. She did her devotionals and
still it was too early to be doing the things she wanted to do. Getting up so
early was pointless. She went to bed at 8 p.m., tired.
The psalmist is reminding us that it is not so much the amount of time
and energy we put into a project that is important. It is the amount of prayer,
seeking wise council, and devotion to His plan that builds our ‘house’ and
protects our ‘city’. Recently, in a study I attended, the speakers challenged
us to think about how life was when Jesus was on the earth. There was great
tyranny with the Roman emperors, and the people lived under the ideal that
peace came through war. When Jesus came, He taught that peace comes from
forgiveness. What a difference there would be if we all lived by what Jesus
taught, even in this present time? What would our physical house (our mind,
spirit, and soul) look like? What would our cities look like? Remember, our
cities have churches in them. What impact are we, Christians, making on our
city through the principals that Jesus taught and exemplified?
The psalmist goes on to say that God gives rest to those He loves. We are
to find comfort, rest, revitalization in Him. He is not saying to not work, to
not plan; but to do these things with a purpose and a goal that is centered on
Him. You may feel that you do this, but I challenge you to view a news program with the eyes of Jesus - peace through forgiveness. We live in a violent,
turbulent time. But, God is speaking to us through the teachings of the Son,
that we are to overcome this world using His mighty weapons, not worldly
weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning, and to destroy
false arguments (2 Cor. 10:4 NLT).
Just imagine the house, the city, we could build using these words from
the psalmist and Paul. May we live by this simple phrase: Go forth, do good.
I know
health insurance.

Mayor Paul Herold called the meeting to order
at 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Herold announced the public hearing for
the proposed sewer facility improvement project
and submittal of an application for a Community
Development Block Grant to assist in funding the
project was open. Casey Mai from Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission proceeded
to read the following points relating to the project:
(a) How the need for the activity was identified;
The City’s wastewater treatment plant, as currently constructed and operating, has historically
shown that it cannot meet the proposed limits.
The current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES) issued on June 1,
2014, contains a compliance schedule requiring
the City to comply with all water quality changes
that have affected the discharge limits by May 31,
2019. With the improvements to the city’s wastewater treatment plant, the lagoon system would
only discharge once a year, which would utilize
the ammonia resulting in compliance. An ultraviolet disinfection system will also be included in the
project to meet the water quality limits for E. Coli.
(b) How the proposed activities will be funded and
the sources of funds;
The proposed project will be funded by the CDBG
water/sewer funds in the amount of $300,000. The
local match portion will come from the City of Fort
Atkinson and SRF Funding.
(c) Date the CDBG application will be submitted;
The CDBG Water/Sewer application will be submitted on or before January 8th, 2016 to IEDA.
(d) Requested amount of federal funds;
The requested amount is $300,000.
(e) Estimated portion of federal funds that will
benefit low-and moderate-income persons;
54.79% of the population in the City of Fort Atkinson is low-and-moderate.
(f) Where the proposed activities will be conducted;
