South Winn, Turkey Valley School District Sharing Declines
▪ TV Sharing
With New
Hampton
Increasing
Sharply
By Michael Hohenbrink
Edito r
Area districts are looking to maximize sharing across district lines in
order to reap state incentives for
sharing.
With the end of superintendent
sharing between South Winneshiek
and Turkey Valley, though, the dynamics of just how this plays out appear to be changing.
With a new school year approach-
ing, the two districts will see significant changes in sharing.
Staff sharing not only allows
districts access to trained staff who
might not otherwise fit within a district’s budget, but it also is incentivized by the state.
Districts are allowed up to a maximum of 21 full-time equivalents
(FTEs) of sharing.
A superintendent is worth eight
FTEs while a business manager, human resources manager, transpor-
tation director and operations and
maintenance manager are all worth
five FTEs. A curriculum director
and school counselor are each worth
three FTEs.
South Winneshiek will enjoy the
maximum sharing allowed under
state law with the full 21 FTEs while
Turkey Valley is currently at 18
FTEs. Discussion is underway with
Turkey Valley at present looking at
how the district might reach the full
21 FTEs.
Changes
For the upcoming school year,
South Winneshiek will share the
largest number of positions with Turkey Valley, including special education, media specialist and industrial
technology.
Following closely behind will be
Northeast Iowa Community College
(NICC) with two positions: human
resources and transportation.
Allamakee and South Winneshiek
will share a curriculum director.
By contrast, Turkey Valley’s largest number of shared positions will
be with New Hampton with which
Turkey Valley will share a superintendent.
Turkey Valley and New Hampton
will also share transportation and
operations and maintenance as well
as agriculture, ELL, environmental
science, TAG and Family and Consumer Science. That has Turkey ValSHARING to page 3

The Turkey Valley Community
School District will not see a restructuring of its school board make-up, at
least in the near future.
At issue was a possible revamping
of the district’s current system of five
board member districts into a revised
form with three board member districts and two at-large seats.
During the June 13 meeting,
school board members discussed the
potential cost of holding a special
election to give voters a chance to approve the idea. Special elections are
possible Sept. 13 and Dec. 6 this year.
To get on the ballot for a Sept.
13 vote, board members would have
needed to have acted during the June
13 meeting.

For South Winn
Editor
Editor
Significant projects are planned
for area schools this summer.
Among highlights will be new
flooring for the Turkey Valley gym
and new bleachers for South Winneshiek.
The Turkey Valley School Board
has approved refinishing of the gym
floor with support from the TV Athletic Boosters who have made a commitment to help finance the project
with $5,000 coming from the boosters, $2,500 coming from individuals
in the community and $5,575 coming
from the school.
As part of the project, the floor
will be sanded down to the wood and
paint removed. When the project is
completed, the refinished floor will
have updated lettering, lines and the
Turkey Valley mascot in the center of
the floor.
Work is scheduled to begin late
this month.
South Winneshiek fans will see
new football bleachers. The South
Winneshiek school board has approved purchasing bleachers from
Kay Park Recreation at a cost of
$10,105.86.
Other projects underway at South
Winneshiek include a bus shed
($43,924), bus parking lot ($5,955)
and new heating/cooling controls in
the weight room, district office and
teacher work room ($12,030).
Additional Turkey Valley projects
include replacing pillars ($16,000)
and doors ($39,496).

The official start of summer
means many things, but along with
school being out, the picnics and all
the rest is a very real fear – Zika.
Since making headlines, the disease has reached American soil and
has prompted fears.
The good news for Iowans is that
it’s not a high likelihood for this area.
“I have been told that the Iowa
Dept of Public Health will be doing mosquito surveillance this summer to be sure that mosquitoes in
Iowa [don’t] have Zika,” said Krista
M. Vanden Brink, administrator for
Winneshiek County Public Health
Nursing Service.
Even if Zika is not found, residents should protect themselves.
“Zika or not, it’s always wise to
use some form of insect repellent,”
said Vanden Brink. “There are some
good commercial brands and some
good homeopathic solutions. Whichever you will consistently use, is the
best.”
Other sources of concern include
West Nile as well as an upsurge in
ticks.
“We seem to hear about them
in the spring and fall [yet] they are
around year round,” said Vanden
Brink. “It’s important to check yourself for ticks especially after being in
wooded areas. It’s also important to
check pets that may come in and out
of the house for ticks as well.”
Size is an issue.
“Keep in mind, that deer ticks are
very small and difficult to spot,” said
Vanden Brink. “We encourage the
use of insect repellent and wearing
light colored long sleeves and long
pants if planning to do any hiking or
walking in the woods.”
SHARING
ley sharing eight positions with New
Hampton and three positions with
South Winneshiek.
As in the 2015-2016 school year,
the sharing of industrial technology,
special education transition and a
media specialist between South Winneshiek and Turkey Valley remains
constant for the upcoming year.
Moving to sharing for agriculture
instruction, ELL and TAG with New
Hampton from South Winneshiek are
changes. Sharing has also ended for
art between South Winneshiek and
Turkey Valley. In total, that means
five fewer shared positions between
the South Winneshiek and Turkey
Valley districts.
Turkey Valley will continue
to share transportation with New
Hampton as well as instrumental music and operations and maintenance.
A net change for sharing will see
Turkey Valley going from sharing
three positions with New Hampton to
sharing eight positions this year. At
the same time, Turkey Valley is going from sharing eight positions with
South Winneshiek to three positions,
a mirror image in some regards.

Tis BBQ Season
I would like to share a fun and interesting web site. If you like to grill
and enjoy BBQ, you will enjoy this
website. The website is called BBQ
Pit Boys.
I will warn you, that many of
their recipes are probably not listed
on your diet menu. They are great
for enjoyment, good eating and for
many of us to be enjoyed in moderation. They have recipes that include
using duck, venison, bison and even
alligator.
Bacon is also a popular ingredient. Not real great at cooking and following recipes, they also have their
recipes on video. The following two
recipes are from the BBQ Pit Boys.

Belly)
Can Beer – 1 unopened
Buns - 6
Stuffing/Toppings:
Cheese – chunked/shredded (your
favorite will do)
Mushrooms
Beef Hash
Grilled Onions
Bell Peppers – Red/Green

Canned Chili
BBQ Sauce
Bring grill temperature up to 300
degrees with coals offset for indirect
cooking. Sauté the mushrooms, onions and peppers and heat up beef
hash, chopped tomato, bacon, roast
beef and canned chili (or your favorite toppings). Make hamburger balls,
8 to 12 ounces each. Make sure meat
is cold. Press beer can into center
of each meatball forming a pocket
around the can. Wrap bacon around
each one (should take two pieces of
bacon). Using a dishtowel, remove
beer can from the meatball carefully.
Do this until all meatballs have been
formed. Take stuffing/toppings and
start placing inside meatball pockets.
Use your favorite toppings. Chunk
cheese and place 2-3 pieces inside
desired meatballs or top with shredded cheese. Add a few dashes of hot
sauce or BBQ sauce. Place bacon
burgers opposite hot coals for indi-
rect cooking. Put lid on grill and cook
for one hour (optional – turn and rotate after 30 minutes). After one hour
check for desired doneness. Remove
from grill. Place bacon burgers on
buns. Top with favorite condiments.
Serve with fries, chips, cole-slaw,
potato salad or grilled vegetables. Sit
back, relax and enjoy!!

for voters to see, likely down the road
when it would be possible to combine
the vote with a regular general election.
The idea had originally come up
for discussion back in December and
would have allowed for two board
members who could come from any-
where within the district, at-large
members, on top of three board members who would come from specific
areas within the district.
A tentative map of how this might
reshape the district already exists,
drawn up by the Keystone Area Education Agency.
The redrawn lines for representation would divide the district into
three zones instead of the current five
zones. Demographics in the district
would dictate, based on population,
that the eastern and western edges of
the district would be relatively narrow, a factor of where most residents
in the district live, with a larger geographical area in the middle.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 10-inch
Bundt pan or 10 to 15 c. tube pan. Sift
together 2 1/4 c. flour, baking soda
and salt. Mix in lemon zest and set
aside. With an electric mixer, cream
together butter and sugar until light
and fluffy and then beat in the eggs
one at a time. Stir in 1 Tbsp. lemon
juice and alternate beating in the flour
mixture with yogurt, mixing just until
incorporated. Toss strawberries with
remaining 1/4 c. flour, and gently
mix them into batter. Pour batter into
Bundt pan. Place in oven and reduce
temperature to 325 degrees. Bake for
60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes
out clean. Allow to cool at least 20
minutes in pan and then turn out onto
a wire rack to cool completely. Whisk
together the remaining 2 Tbsp. of
lemon juice and powdered sugar and
drizzle over top of cake.

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.
LEE ROTATORI
The body of Lee Rotatori was found in room
106 at the Best Western Frontier Motor Lodge
in Council Bluffs on the afternoon of Friday,
June 25, 1982. She was found wearing pajamas
and lying on her back in a pool of blood on the
bed. She had been stabbed once in the heart
and had likely been dead 12 hours before her
body was found.
Police found no signs of forced entry or any
kind of struggle. Investigators said the homicide may have been sexually motivated but had
no conclusive evidence to support or disprove
that theory. Despite reports that some of Rotatori’s personal items were missing — including a purse and some jewelry — police weren’t
sure robbery was the motive since the room
wasn’t torn apart as if somebody was looking
for something.
Rotatori had lived at the motel for about a
week while in training for her new job at Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs.
Her husband, Jerry Nemke, remained in Michigan while his wife was in Iowa for the job
training, but had planned to move to Council
Bluffs once she had become established in the
new position.
On Thursday, June 24, Rotatori had spent a
few hours boating with other employees from
the hospital. That gathering broke up at dusk
and Rotatori stopped at McDonald’s to pick up
food before returning to the hotel. McDonald’s
employees were the last to see her alive. The
food from the restaurant indicated she’d made
a purchase for only one person and she was not
seen by any motel personnel as she entered her
ground-floor room.
Police considered Rotatori’s murder one of
the most perplexing they had ever worked. A
$3,000 reward was offered but the reward went
unclaimed and Rotatori’s murder unsolved.
In April 1982, less than three months prior
to Rotatori’s murder, 21-year-old Linda Mayfield was stabbed to death at the Starlite Motel in Council Bluffs. A witness in that case
described the offender as a Caucasian male,
26-28 years of age, 5’7 to 5’10, clean-shaven,
and wearing a blue jean jacket, blue jeans and
a light blue pullover shirt with an emblem on
it. The witness also described the offender as
having lots of body hair that came up over his
shirt collar. The witness told responding officers she remembered the offender’s first name
as “Chris.” Mayfield’s murder also remains unsolved. It is not clear if the murders are related.

Flames, Food Take
Late 1938 By Storm
NOVEMBER
On a Thursday night in early
November, a crowd of about 1,200
people attended an event hosted at
George Bucheit’s Store in Calmar.
The evening began with a free educational picture show, with
a matinee for
school children.
Mr. Bucheit
had made many
improvements
to the building, including a fine new
refrigerator unit to handle his meat
supply. He had one of the finest fruit
and vegetable displays in this part of
Iowa. Bucheit’s Store had closed out
its dry goods section and now was
handling groceries exclusively. Various foods were demonstrated, and
$75 in merchandise was given away.
Children received free balloons,
whistles and snacks. Samples of various food products were given out to
the public, and Mr. Bucheit was to be
congratulated on a fine, up-to-date
food store.
Alvin Harry was born on Nov. 11,
1938, Armistice Day, to Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Schissel. The little lad was baptized the same day, with sponsors being Mrs. F. J. Schissel (Mr. Schissel’s
mother) and H.B. Hageman (Mrs.
Schissel’s father).
St. Aloysius Parish in Calmar had
its annual Fall Festival Sunday and
Monday, Nov. 6-7, 1938. The main
feature was the dinner on Sunday,
and the menu was: chicken and
dressing, sausage and sauerkraut,
mashed spuds, buttered peas and carrots, molded cranberries, assorted
pies and coffee. Added attractions
were the game stands, fancy work
and apron booths, candy stands and
bingo for children. A turkey was given as a door prize on Monday night
to close the festival.
Saturday, Nov. 19, 1938 was the
date and 5 p.m. was the starting time
for the Lutheran Ladies Aid’s Chicken Supper at Calmar Lutheran. Everyone was welcome to come for the
menu of chicken and dressing, meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy,
buttered carrots, cabbage salad, cranberries, lefse, bread, cake and coffee.
Adult meals were only 35 cents, and
children’s meals were 25 cents.
The Calmar Fire Department
responded Nov. 13, 1938, to a fire
call from the Joseph Tieskotter farm
residence. The fire had burned holes
through the roof in several places,
and neighbors had helped keep the
fire in check until firemen reached
the scene. The Calmar Fire Department used chemical supplies to get
at the heart of the fire and control it.
Farmers were reminded that every
farm home should have a large reservoir or cistern, because you never
knew when a fire could happen.
Without a plentiful supply of water,
even the best firefighters can do very
little. The Calmar department had a
chemical supply and a small water
supply to use for small fires but relied on the homeowner to have an
accessible water supply.
“Spillville
Man Reproduces Stradivarius
Violin” was the
front-page headline of the Nov.
23 Calmar Courier. The article went on to explain
that George Kovarik, of Spillville,
had just finished a perfect reproduction of the famous violin.
Thirteen members of Calmar’s
Study Club met at the home of Eldie
Yager on Monday, Nov. 28, 1938.
Roll call was done by each member
responding with a patriotic quotation. Ina Iverson read a letter from
the National Consumer Tax Commission urging women to make a study
of “hidden taxes.” This commission
was a non-profit, non-partisan group
devoted to the education of women
in tax matters. Lorraine Meyer read
a paper on Clara Barton that detailed
her work in caring for the sick and
wounded in the Civil War and founding of the American Red Cross. Esther Weselmann gave a report on
the American Red Cross today. The
program was closed by a reading of
Walt Whitman’s poem, “O Captain,
My Captain.”
On Nov. 30, 1938, it was frontpage news that seven residents of
Winneshiek County received their
naturalization papers in District
Court at Decorah. Mrs. Edith Bergmann, who was born in Iowa and
who had always lived in Iowa, had
married August Christian Bergmann,
who was a native of Germany, and
then lost her U.S. citizenship. Mr.
and Mrs. Bergmann, who lived north
of Decorah, both got their naturalization papers. Nicholas Maliaritsis,
of Ridgeway, foreswore his Greek
citizenship to become a U.S. citizen.
Giving up Norwegian citizenship
was Mrs. Dina Katherine Omdahl,
of Decorah. John Drabek, of Fort Atkinson, and John Kafka, of Calmar,
had been Czechoslovakian citizens
but now were American citizens.
Mary Murdock, of Bluffton, who
was born in Scotland, also became a
United States citizen.
This was the largest number to
become U.S. citizens at one time in
several years in this county.
Buttermakers of Northeast Iowa
met in Decorah on Nov. 30, 1938. In
the butter judging, first place went to
Henry Fjelstuhl, of Calmar, second
place to N. Larson, of Decorah, and
third place to A. Thoreson, of Garnivillo.
Weselmann & Becvar, Calmar’s
“meat men,” published a notice that

they were immediately switching to
making two deliveries daily, except
for Sundays, at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
DECEMBER
On a Saturday afternoon in early
December, the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Schneberger, in the north part
of Calmar, was visited by a very bad
fire that gutted the lower floor of the
house.
A dish of lard had been placed on
the stove to melt for use in cooking
and overheated, either exploding or
spattering on the walls, causing the
paint to ignite. In a flash, the whole
kitchen was in flames.
Mrs. Schneberger had luckily just stepped out of the kitchen to
the “summer kitchen” to get something for her baking, and returned to
find the room in flames. She rushed
through into the dining room and
found that room also in flames.
She then tried to get out the door
in the dining room but found it was
locked, so she was forced to go out
again through the burning kitchen,
luckily escaping injury. Mrs. Schneberger then rushed over to the L.
F. Stone home and put in a call for
the Calmar Fire Department, which
responded quickly and held the fire
to the lower floor. Heat from the fire
was extremely intense and broke
most of the windows in the house,
and the kitchen windows actually
melted from the heat.
Mr. Schneberger had just gone to
the coal bin and returned to find the
kitchen a mass of flames. He had attempted to pump water to dowse the
fire, but it was spreading too quickly
for him to make any headway alone.
Only the rapid and splendid efforts of the local firemen saved part
of the house. None of the furniture
was saved; what the flames did not
consume was ruined by intense
smoke damage. The work of reconstruction had begun, and the loss was
partly covered by insurance. Unfortunately, there are things lost in a fire
that can never be replaced.
Plans to electrify rural Winneshiek County were slowly but
surely underway in late 1938. It was
planned that by the end of 1939 a
considerable portion of the county’s
farms would have electricity. Farmers in Orleans, Fremont, Burr Oak
and Hesper, the northern tier of townships, were practically all signed up.
Some work was being done in Lincoln, Sumner, Madison, Springfield,
Military and Washington townships.
Forty-five farmers recently attended
a meeting in Festina, where a committee consisting of John Elsbernd,
Theodore Schrandt and Norman
Hageman was chosen to contact prospective customers.
On Thursday, Dec. 1, 1938, there
was a Farmer’s Evening School at
Calmar High School on “Feeding
and Care of Brood Sows.” Another
session was scheduled for the evening of Thursday, Dec. 8, and the
topic was “Increasing Cow Production Through Breeding.”
Calmar residents had a chance to
make a show of their Christmas spirit
by decorating their house/lawn and
possibly win a prize offered by the
Calmar Community Club in 1938.
Five dollars was the prize for first
place, $3 for second place and $1 for
Explore Fayette County Tours Area Locations
Nineteen Fayette County Junior
4-H members, grades 4-6 and seven
adults had the opportunity to “Explore Fayette County” on Friday,
June 3.
The day started early at the Fayette County Extension office in Fayette where they loaded the limousine
bus provided by Troy Johansen and
driven by Bob Sadler. The first stop
on the tour was Shrimptastic, LLC
on Lincoln Road north of Fayette
where hosts, John and Sharon Orr,
shared their experiences of raising
Pacific white shrimp. The facility is
a closed ecosystem where the water
temperature must remain a constant
80 to 85F. They learned that the
shrimp start off the size of an eyelash and grow to a market size that is
20-25 shrimp per pound. The 4-Hers
were shown the growing facility, the
feed and how the shrimp are harvested from the tanks.
The second stop of the day was
the Associated Milk Producers plant
south of Arlington. Everyone geared
up in white lab coats, booties, safety
glasses and hairnets to tour the immaculate production area. They were
shown how the milk enters the plant
and is processed to become nonfat
dry milk.
The final morning stop was at
Fassbinder Apiaries near Elgin where
hosts Bob and Kathy Fassbinder and
the 2015 American Honey Queen
Gabrielle Hemesath shared their
love of raising bees. The youth were
told there were three types of bees:

drones, workers and queens. They
also were treated to fresh homemade
rolls and honey.
A walking taco picnic lunch was
enjoyed at the Fayette County Fairgrounds before boarding the bus and
heading to Unionland Market and the
Northeast Iowa Food Hub in West
Union.
Jason Unruh explained to the
youth how locally-grown lettuce and
herbs are grown as they toured and
saw the hydroponic systems worked
at the Rolling Hills Greenhouse lo-
cated on Ironwood Road, near West
Union. The children were able to
pick fresh produce and eat it on the
spot.
Country View Dairy located on
Highway 18 west of West Union
was a big hit on the hot day as Bob
Howard gave the tour, explaining
how milk gets turned into yogurt at
the dairy and sharing a sample with
every one of their newest flavor of
frozen yogurt, Vanilla Cheesecake.
The last stop of the day was at the
4-H greenhouse that was started this
spring and is located at the Brenda
and Loran Steinlage farm on 220th
Street, West Union. Kassi Steinlage,
Ayla Moss, Hailey Walvatne and
Carly Knapp shared how the 4-Hers
have been busy planting, building
and weeding raised beds, transplanting plants and selling flowers and
vegetable plants. They led the group
in hands-on activities in which each
youth painted a clay pot and planted
a marigold along with planting green
bean seeds in a natural fiber pot that
they were able to take home.

We’ve become such an “in your
face” culture that we tend to relate
with each other only superficially, if
at all. We have to associate with others in the course of daily life, yet we
don’t have to relate with them. Most
of us resist “in your face” encounters,
perceiving them as attacks, which in
many cases they are.
We live in a “shades of grey”
- “both/and” world where many
people prefer to see the issues of life
through the lens of “black and white”
and “either/or.” If a good defense for
our “position” is an effective offense,
then we become a very “offensive”
culture when we fail to listen before
we speak the truth in love.
Besides, we don’t want to offend
the people we care about or with
whom we must live, so . . . we just
avoid talking about the really important things, the things that mean
a great deal to us personally, like
“love.” After all, “they” might not
understand.
I find myself saying it frequently,
because the reality remains: Meaning is in people, not in the words we
use to express (or defend) ourselves.
If “love” is indeed a verb, what is
“loving” behavior? That’s the persistent question for Christians! When
one asks us the question, “What do
you mean by that?” it is a legitimate
question when asked in the context
of a loving relationship. It’s a question seeking deeper meaning and
understanding of the other who, like
me, is created in the image of God.
As God creates unique human
beings and calls us all into personal
relationship with God, our individual experiences of that relationship
will be perceived as, and in fact be,
unique! Christmas, experiencing
God in Jesus, is a unique gift from
God to be received and shared!
For Christians, it is only as we
learn to listen to and share our unique
stories, stories of our individual and
collective experiences with this God
whom Christians claim to meet in Jesus, that we will be led beyond the
labels to discover and celebrate the
unique human beings through whom
God has graced our lives. That celebration is a cause for thanksgiving!
Your story and my story, while
infinitely unique, are woven by
grace into God’s story. Dialogue is
the means and opportunity for us to
discover that what we share, while
unique in our experience, is a story
that binds the human race together in
a tapestry of breath-taking beauty.
May all the seasons of your life
be occasions for discovering anew
God’s story of unconditional love…
for you!

Gawker On The Ropes
The ruins of the first parish church in Dorchester still stand on the grounds of

Editor
I can’t say I haven’t gotten a measure of joy from the announcement
that Gawker Media has filed for
bankruptcy in the aftermath of losing the lawsuit brought against it by
Hulk Hogan for releasing a sex tape
of the former wrestling star.
It’s a just punishment for a company that has for too long been a
toxic presence in the world, preying
on the base desires of the masses by
selling voyeurism under the guise of
news.
Gawker’s editorial philosophy,
to tell the stories that real journalists would only tell each other over
drinks, is an affront to the profession.
It belies the standards that make up
the foundation of our industry.
There is a reason the stories journalists tell each other don’t end up
on the page. It’s because our job, our
responsibility, is to sift through the
information we receive and weigh it
for newsworthiness. Not everything
reporters learn in the course of an
investigation or interview is a matter
of public interest. Over the course of
my career I’ve had people tell me a
great many things not meant for the
public. It may seem paradoxical to
tell secrets to somebody whose job
it is to share stories but to get to the
details that matter, sometimes you
need to get through sensitive areas.
Be it a veteran with a war story, a
family that just lost their home, or a
businessman in the middle of a deal,
people trust me with the stories of
their lives.
Which is not to say I’ve never
printed anything that somebody
might not want in the paper. I’ve gotten my share of angry phone calls
and text messages, but there are
things the public does need to know
and if that means somebody gets mad
at me about it, that’s just the name of
the game.
For Gawker, their editorial code,
if that’s what you want to call it, is “If
it’s interesting, it’s news.” Which is
great if all you’re looking for are attention grabbing headlines and give
no consideration to the consequences
of your actions.
Gawker owner and founder Nick
Denton is the real-life embodiment
of every sleazy, morally bankrupt,
scoop-obsessed news reporter that
you ever hated in an action movie.
His flagrant disregard for ethical
journalism is only compounded by
his recent self-aggrandizing statements portraying himself as some
kind of champion of free speech.
Since discovering that billionaire
Peter Thiel had financed the lawsuit that bankrupted his company,
he’s spinning his current situation as
though he’s an intrepid reporter being bullied by a vindictive businessman abusing the court system.
That’s one way to look at it, I suppose.
On the other hand, why did it take
a billionaire to finance a lawsuit to
finally hold Gawker accountable for
AGE OF
THE GEEK
Travis
Fischer
its actions?
Thiel may have financed the lawsuit, but it wasn’t Thiel that decided
to share Hulk Hogan’s sex tape with
the world nor was he on the jury that
decided Gawker’s actions earned
Hogan a $115 million compensation,
with an additional $25 million in punitive damages just for being so awful.
This is also why you don’t report
“what you share at the bar” as news.
It gets you sued.
Sadly, Gawker Media’s bankruptcy may not be the deathblow it
deserves. Publishing company ZiffDavis has put up a $90 million bid to
buy Gawker and its various spinoffs,
which is $89,999,980 more than I’d
pay for the lot of them. (Well, Lifehacker isn’t bad. Maybe I’d shell out
another $20 for its sake.) As much as
I’d like to see these sites burnt to the
ground, it looks like the best I can
hope for is that the new management
will shape them into something that
resembles real news and not gossipy
trash.
Travis Fischer is a news writer for
Mid-America Publishing and hopes
the Gawker/Hogan trial ends with a
leg drop off the ropes.
The Show Must Go On Q & A: Obamacare Not Meeting Its Hype
On a spot at the edge of a tiny
town in northeast Iowa, an old
church stands on a hill.
Next to the church, the ruins of an
even older church stand, just out of
sight unless you look just right.
Driving through the tiny community of Dorchester recently, I happened to catch a glimpse of something half obscured amidst the brush.
It was enough to prompt us to stop
for a bit. Traipsing up the hill, we
got a look at the remains of the first
Dorchester church, now standing a
short distance away from the current
church.
Solid, heavy and immense, the
stones and arches were built at some
point around the 1860s, a marker
proclaimed.
Trees and undergrowth were doing their level best to obscure the
sight, which is designated with a
historical marker, but despite the
growth, the ruins were impressive.
You could see the workmanship
present. There is an old expression,
“sermons in stone,” referring to
churches, which speak by their very
lines and grandeur to something transcendent.
Ars gratia artis, art for the sake of
art.
Appropriately enough, our trip
to Dorchester followed a visit to the
Civil War re-enactment recently in
Waukon.
With the historical marker noting
the date in the 1860s, the 1861-1865
conflict would have taken place right
around that time.
The day was hardly the most
ideal for the circumstances. Muggy
and hot, the day was bad enough for
those of us in casual clothes. Throw
in wool uniforms and voluminous
dresses, and you had the beginnings
of an unpleasant time.
Yet, the re-enactors were anything
but short.
Patiently, they addressed questions made by at least a couple of
youngsters (who shall remain nameless).
At least one of the re-enactors my
wife pegged as a teacher. With such
patience and in-depth knowledge,
she was a likely candidate for being
a schoolteacher in her regular life.
For a couple of the boys, it was a
fun time. Cannons, muskets, battles,
what was there not to love?
The uniforms? A headache to be
sure.
And giving up your time on a
weekend, amidst the heat and humidity, followed the next day by the rain,
certainly couldn’t have made for an
easy, 5-star experience, with fine
gourmet dining and poolside service.
Nonetheless, they did it.
Through less than ideal conditions, the re-enactors undertook their
craft.
Their art, the show itself went on.
That’s neat. It’s also a lesson in its
own right, for kids and for adults.

U.S. Senator
Q: How is the Affordable Care
Act stacking up to expectations?
A: The sweeping health insurance law, widely known as Obamacare, turned six earlier this year.
Recall that the 2,700-page bill was
rammed through Congress on a
party-line vote. That’s a bad way to
implement public policy, particularly considering that the law redirects
one-fifth of the U.S. economy. Now
layered on top of the law are tens of
thousands of pages of federal rules
and regulations administered by
scores of federal departments, agencies and boards. Since signing the
bill into law, President Obama has
issued dozens of unilateral executive
orders and sidestepped congressional
intent with regulatory directives.
We now know the Affordable
Care Act has failed to live up to its
name by a country mile. Health care
is anything but more affordable for
millions of Americans. The law
thrusts Obamacare between patients
and doctors and into the pocketbooks
of just about every American. It has
created massive regulatory burdens
on employers and massive headaches
for consumers. Instead of empowering consumers and tapping free
market forces to expand innovation,

coverage and competition, the Affordable Care Act expands government-steered health care. More and
more people are realizing that Obamacare isn’t living up to its promises.
Paying high deductibles and skyhigh premiums with restricted choices of medical providers sounds more
like a bad deal than a good value.
Here in Iowa, families scrambled
when 13 of the 23 co-ops nationwide failed, including the one serving Iowa. Now taxpayers could be
on the hook for nearly $1.4 billion
to bail out these failed plans. The
co-op serving Iowa and Nebraska
left 91,500 consumers hanging in
the wind. Now we are seeing a lack
of competition driving up prices and
driving down choice. Americans living in 650 counties across the United
States will have only one choice of
insurance provider on the federal exchanges next year. More and more
people are coming to the conclusion
that Obamacare has not made good
on its promises.
Q: Why did you introduce the
“Small Business Healthcare Relief
Act?”
A: One of the many mandates
written in the Affordable Care Act
is making matters worse. It’s the one
that has the effect of barring small
business owners from reimbursing
their employees for the cost of buying health insurance on the individual market. This flawed provision is
poised to have a very negative, expensive impact on tens of thousands
of Iowans. That’s because if small
employers continue with the longused arrangement in which they help
employees defray costs of their individual health insurance policies, they
will face a hefty new federal fine.
Specifically, they would risk paying
$100 per day, per employee if they
continue this employee benefit. It’s
one of the most absurd outcomes of
the Affordable Care Act.
Proponents argued the goal was
to expand coverage and get people
insured. So, it makes no sense to
punish smaller employers who help
employees pay for health insurance
coverage and other medical costs.
The chorus of discontent is growing, especially now as double-digit
increases are slated to hit individual
insurance policyholders in Iowa.
After six years on the books, Obamacare has broken too many promises. That’s why I supported the U.S.
Senate vote to repeal it. Earlier this
year, the President vetoed it. I’ll keep
working to repeal the law. But in the
meantime, I’m working to fix what
can be done yet this year. That’s why
I have introduced a bipartisan bill to
stop the small business penalty.

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted
as a 9x9 grid, broken down into
nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box.
Each number can appear only
once in each row, column and
box. You can figure out the order
in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues
already provided in the boxes.
The more numbers you name, the
easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ing special attention to a different street each
month in order to try and enforce speed limits.
This month they are focusing their attention on
175th Street.
Junior Boyer presented the street department
report. He said that Martin Timp would like to
put in concrete stop posts in front of the Medical
Clinic near the curb area. After discussion the
council agreed he could put them within a foot of
his building but not at the curb and that it would
be at his expense. Junior stated that they held a
long conference call with the DOT regarding the
Calmar project. Many items were found on the
plans that were not as expected and these items
were discussed and will be changed on the DOT
specifications as previously discussed. Junior
went to New Hampton when their maintenance
people were working on the street sweeper to
become familiar with the machine. He stated
that it would probably be available the end of
April and that it would be delivered to Calmar.
Junior presented the water/wastewater report.
He stated that they had attended a pre-construction meeting regarding the Dollar General
water/sewer extension project. The contractors
expect to begin work next week.
Jeremy Bril, City Engineer, stated that according to the contractors the Dollar General project
would take them a couple weeks to complete.
Don Wurtzel reported that the final sale of the
property to Dollar General should take place
this week. He stated that Calmar Development
would be submitting a request for funding to the
Depot Outlet on behalf of the Freedom Rock
Project. A grant was submitted to the Community Foundation for the concrete on the Freedom
Rock Project. We have not received notification
yet if the project received funding. Black Hills
Energy will be donating $ 500.00 to this project and now that the work on the site will begin
soon hopefully other donations will come. Any
donation over $ 500.00 will receive recognition
on a plaque at the site. Don stated that another
project along 175th Street was also in the planning stages.
Mayor Frana shared with the council the drawings for the Freedom Rock Project. Sara Neuzil
donated her time and talents to design the site
and prepare the drawings. He stated that site
work would begin shortly. The rock is scheduled
to be painted in 2017 but could happen sooner
as the artist is ahead of schedule.
The South Winn Trap Team was discussed.
Motion by Schissel, second by Ondrashek to
donate $ 400.00 which is a Trailer Sponsorship
Renewal ($ 200.00) and a 12 Gauge Sponsorship ($ 200.00). Aye: Schissel, Ondrashek, Sabelka, Kirkeberg and Kleve. Motion carried.
Discussed was the property issue near the
swimming pool. It was the consensus of the
council that they are agreeable to trade properties with the city getting property on the north
side of Hwy 24 and Mr. Langreck getting property on the south side of Hwy 24 as long as Mr.
Langreck pays all associated expenses to transfer the property.
Motion by Kleve, second by Sabelka to adjourn. Aye: Sabelka, Ondrashek, Kirkeberg,

South Winneshiek Girls Win Weekend Victories
Editor
A pair of games Saturday saw the
Lady Warriors add two more wins to
their season total.
Abby Hageman’s homer helped
to power South Winneshiek to a 6-2
win over West Central while the contest against Denver ended in a 3-2
win.
June 18 – SW 6, West Central 2
Against the Lady Blue Devils,
South Winneshiek got on the scoreboard first and held West Central to a
low-scoring game.
Briefly, the Lady Warriors were
down by a single run but recovered
in the fifth inning to tie up the game.
A 4-run sixth inning clinched the
South Winneshiek victory.
Abby Hageman homered for
South Winneshiek.
New Hampton Tourney
Hosts Lady Trojans
Editor
Turkey Valley girls saw action
twice Saturday.
Competing in tournament play
hosted by New Hampton, the Lady
Trojans faced their first battle with
the host team, then took on Central
Springs.
Both games offered hard fights for
Turkey Valley.
June 18 – TV 2, New Hampton 5
The day’s first contest could have
gone very differently as the Lady
Trojans scored early.
“It was good to see us jump on the
scoreboard right away in the first,”
said Coach Haley Kriener. “Again
it was one inning that got us behind
and we couldn’t dig ourselves out.
We were hitting the ball hard but
couldn’t find their gaps to get anything going on offense.”
Senior Delany Lensing homered
for Turkey Valley and picked up two
RBIs.
The Lady Trojans struggled with
just five hits in 27 times at bat.

The Lady Trojans took the lead
early against Central Springs but saw
their opponent enjoy a powerful second inning.
Pitching for Turkey Valley, Ashton Kout gave up eight walks and allowed seven runs, and Kim Fischer
gave up three walks and four runs
during a walk-ridden second inning.
Turkey Valley then turned to Emily
Busta who finally retired the inning.
While the Lady Trojans saw some
success at bat, that run during the
second inning proved an insurmountable obstacle.

Split Double Header
Editor
Double-header action Thursday
saw South Winneshiek and Turkey
Valley each emerge with one win.
The Lady Warriors took the first
win of the night.
“SW was able to jump on the
board right away in the first inning
after getting [one of their players on
base] on an error followed by two
walks,” said Turkey Valley Coach
Haley Kriener.
The Lady Trojans managed to
catch two South Winneshiek players stealing, first in the second inning
and then again in the third inning.
“The score remained 1-0 due to
solid defense from both teams until
the 6th inning when SW had a big inning to score 4 with 2 walks and 3
hits, one being a double,” said Kriener. “We couldn’t make adjustments
at the plate to string hits together
even though we got ourselves base
runners every inning.”

The night’s second game might
well have been the most exciting of
the week.
South Winneshiek’s Taylor Buchheit and Turkey Valley’s Delaney
Lensing both homered as the teams
took part in a hard-fought battle.
“I was happy our girls were able
to make an adjustment at the plate
right away, facing the same pitcher,”
said Kriener. “We were able to score
2 runs in the 1st on 3 solid hits. The
score was evened up in the 4th with
a SW home run and they were able
to temporarily take a 4-2 lead in the
fifth, but Kayla Schaufenbuel was
able to score Shelby after getting herself on with a single and stolen base,
followed by a Delaney Lensing HR
to give us the 5-4 lead.”
The Lady Warriors weren’t done,
yet.
“SW pushed two more across in
the 6th on a couple of our miscues, to
go up 6-5,” said Kriener.
The game’s final inning proved a
real nail-biter.
“In the top of the 7th our defense
shut down their side, to give our
bats a chance to finish the game in
the bottom of the 7th,” said Kriener.
“Delaney led off with a single, followed by Steph’s single, and with
a perfectly hit and placed single by
Morgen, Delaney was able to score
from second with the throw coming
to the plate, [and] the catcher wasn’t
able to hang on to the ball.”
Crowd support may have played
a big role.
“After seeing our lead be taken
away in the 6th, our crowd really got
behind our girls going into the top of
the 7th on defense, so when the girls
came back in to hit I asked them [‘D]
o you hear your crowd? Give them
something to really cheer [for’] and
they did!” said Kriener. “I was very
proud of the fight and determination
in the girls to believe in themselves
and each other. We needed a game
like that to show them their true abilities and that they can persevere.”

The night’s second game saw only
five innings thanks to darkness and
the elements.
That was enough time for Turkey
Valley to manage a 5-1 game against
Clayton Ridge.
“I thought we competed against
a good baseball squad,” said Stepan.
“Evan pitched well and found a way
to scrape some runs across the plate.”

Turkey Valley’s second game

to earn a victory, but we just didn’t
play well defensively,” said Stepan.

again.
The Trojans fought back against a
6-1 NFV lead with four runs in the
fifth inning to make the score 6-5,
but a six-run sixth inning for the TigerHawks was answered by only one
run from the Trojans.

Warriors Face Clayton Ridge
Editor
South Winneshiek got well acquainted with Clayton Ridge last
week as the Warriors faced that opponent four times.
Trouble on the defensive side and
an injury to pitcher Ryan Dietzenbach made those contests trying for
South Winneshiek.
Over the course of the four games,
the Warriors would emerge victorious just once and see three losses.
June 16 – SW 3, Clayton Ridge 9
The first of the four contests ended in a Clayton Ridge victory.
“Defensive miscues in the top of
the first put us in a hole,” said Coach
Alex Smith.”
South Winneshiek’s top four hitters in their lineup combined to see
seven hits. That included a 2-3 performance with 2 RBIs by Hunter
Todd.
“Cole Phillips had a breakout
game at the bottom of the lineup going 2-3 with a double,” said Smith.

Pitching was a key part of South
Winneshiek’s win in Thursday’s second game.
“A complete game [shutout] by
Hunter Todd,” said Smith. “This was
our best pitching performance of the
season. CRC is a quality team with
a number of good hitters. Hunter
worked out of a couple of jams and
kept them off balance by locating
his fastball and getting his curveball
across for a strike.”

The Warriors saw an injury early
in their first game Saturday.
“Starting pitcher Ryan Dietzenbach suffered an injury after being
hit by a line drive by the second
batter of the game,” said Smith.
“We utilized a few different pitchers to get them some experience,
and unfortunately we weren’t able
to throw enough strikes and make
plays defensively to be competitive.
We know there will be some bumps
in the road with our youth, and this
proved to be one of those games.”
Two six-run innings and a threerun inning propelled Clayton Ridge
to victory.
“Our guys responded well in the
second game and put themselves in a
position to win,” said Smith. “A big
inning by CRC in the top of the sixth
proved to be the difference.”
Pitching helped the Warriors.
“Mason Elsbernd tossed four
quality innings in the starting role
allowing just two runs,” said Smith.
“We look for him to throw some big
innings for us in conference this up-
