SW Athletic Complex project complete
Wow, this is amazing
One of the most significant changes that has been made for the South Winneshiek Athletic Department is the updating of
the football field and a new track. The project, completed in 2013, featured an overhaul of the football playing surface, an
all-weather track, and other aesthetic updates. (Zakary Kriener photo)

The culmination of over five

years of planning, hard work,
and anticipation have resulted
in a major overhaul of the South
Winneshiek Athletic Complex in
Calmar.
The project was kicked off
in the summer of 2010 when the
first step was taken to revamp the
Warrior facilities, beginning with
the weight room.
Since then, the softball complex, football field, track, baseball
press box and bleachers, and the
bus barn have all been updated,
making one of the finest athletic
complexes in the state of Iowa.
This all comes back to the
community, said South Winneshiek activities director Bruce
Gullickson proudly. Local businesses and the community in
general have been more than eager to help us achieve our goals
over the past several years.
The South Winneshiek Athletic Booster Club (SWABC) has
been one of the biggest driving forces for the upgrades. The
SWABC board of six, consisting
of Ken Bucheit, Nicole Wiltgen,
Manon Bushman, Shana Schweinefus, Gene Smith, and Dawn
Lukes, has worked tirelessly to
help fund raise and promote the
Warrior brand, making it possible
for all of the recent upgrades.
Todd Schmitt, a Fort Atkinson native, recently began serving as a Winneshiek County Sheriffs deputy. The 26-year-old officer is excited to be working back in his home county after a two-year stint in Black Hawk County.

Over the past five years, significant changes have been made for the South Winneshiek Athletic Department. The revival began in 2010 with the completion of a
new weight room and wrapped up this past summer with the addition of a new
press box and bleachers at the baseball field. (Zakary Kriener photo)
The booster club has been

phenomenal, added Gullickson.
Through their annual membership drive, 2015 calendar drive,
and many other fundraising efforts through individual sports,
we have been able to gather the
necessary funding for these projects.
The first step in the revamping project was the weight room,
a project taken on by the Chad
and Sherri Poshusta family.
We knew that a good weight
room would provide the foundation of the overall South Winn
athletic program, said Gullickson. When the vocational ag
program moved out to NICC, we
had a perfect spot to move the
weight room.
This was only the beginning

of the facility overhaul for Gullickson and South Winneshiek. The
next undertaking was the softball
field.
The dated facility was
brought up-to-date by moving
the dugouts down, new bleachers
on top of installing new cement
pads, a new concession stand/
press box, a new softball equipment shed, and a new batting
cage.
Following those updates
came the biggest undertaking of
the five-year project the football
field and track.
This was, without a doubt,

Meet
the
Winneshiek
County Sheriffs Offices newest deputy, Todd Schmitt. The
26-year-old officer is no stranger to the roads of Winneshiek
County. Thats because Schmitt
has spent much of his life living
in the rural county town of Fort
Atkinson.
It will be nice to be able to
work back in my home county,
shared Schmitt. Anyone that I
have ever talked to calls Winneshiek County Gods country.
I dont think I can disagree.
Schmitt, who has officially
been onboard with the Winneshiek County Sheriffs Office
since Sept. 28, brings several
years of previous experience
with him to the new position.
Todd, a 2007 graduate of
Turkey Valley High School,
went on to attend Upper Iowa
University. There he received a
bachelors degree, majoring in
criminology and minoring in
sociology.
When I graduated from

UIU in 2010, I moved to
Coralville and began an internship with the Coralville Police Department, explained
Schmitt. I also attended the
Johnson County Citizens Police
Academy, which is a 12-week
program that offers citizens
the ability to interact and learn
from police officers. This really
solidified my goal of wanting to
be a full-time police officer.
While in Coralville, the
young officer also worked in the
loss prevention department at
a sporting goods store, allowing him to continue working in
a law enforcement-related field
while continuing to advance his
education.
Todd went on to become a
reserve officer in Johnson County. This allowed him to receive
training on a monthly basis. He
went on to later become a state-

Huinker rebounding from devastating fire

after noticing the smoke from

down the road. Chris had already
called 9-1-1, which had paged fire
and ambulance services.
Knutson had seen Donnie
drive by him on the gravel road
only minutes earlier, so his first
thought was that Donnie may
still be in the vehicle. Luckily, after throwing a brick to break out
the back window of the car in
the smoke-filled garage, he was
able to determine that Donnie
was not in the car or garage.
As the back wall of the garage as well as the entrance to
the house were already fully
engulfed in flames, Chris entered the house through the

just like any day for rural Ossian
resident Donnie Huinker. After
returning home from a trip to
town, he parked his car in his garage and walked into the home
as he had done for over 33 years.
After I got in the house,
I heard a small bang, recalled
the 84-year-old lifetime farmer.
About 10 seconds later, I heard
a really loud bang, which now I
figure to have been one of the
tires or the gas tank exploding,
so I decided to check in the garage and see what was going on.
Upon peering into the garage, Huinker was alarmed to
find smoke pouring out
from under the hood of
his Buick LeSabre.
I
immediately
went into the house to
call 9-1-1, he added.
The fire must
had already melted the
phone line, since the
telephone was located
right next to the garage wall, because he
was unable to get a dial
tone, added Roger, one
of Huinkers eight children, as the two recalled
the previous weeks
events.
By this time, one
of Huinkers neighbors, The aftermath of a devastating fire that took the home of Donnie Huinker on Wednesday, Sept. 30, is all that remains on the rural Ossian property. Huinker has yet to deterChris Knutson, had ar- mine his next step, but hopes to build or purchase a new home in the future. (Zakary

Chris helped Donnie get out
of the home safely to where they
would wait for emergency vehicles to arrive.
It seemed like an eternity
waiting, just watching my home
burn, recalled Donnie as the fire
continued to spread from the

attached garage to the home.
As the two waited in the
yard, one of Huinkers other
neighbors, Mark Bohr, arrived
at the property. Donnie later

fire destroy his home. The fire started in the engine compartment of

Several area volunteer firefighters work to combat the flames, that quickly spread from Donnie Huinkers car to his garage and eventually his home.
Fire departments from Ossian, Castalia, Calmar, Clermont, and Decorah responded to the Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 30, fire. (Zakary Kriener photo)
noted that he was extremely grateful to have such caring neighbors that risked
their own well-being to
help him.
After about 15 minutes,
the fire departments and
ambulance began to arrive
on the scene. Five area fire
departments responded to
the call, including volunteers from Ossian, Castalia,
Calmar, Clermont, and Decorah. The Ossian Ambulance was also on the scene
to ensure Huinkers safety
and that of the firefighters.
I
remember
just
standing there, watching
the house burn, added
Donnies son, Roger. I
helped shingle that house,
I helped put siding on that
house. We had so many

great memories in that
nearly 100-year-old home,
and there was nothing we
could do to save it.
Because the fire was
mostly in the upstairs of
the two-story home, fire
crews were unable to get
the water where they needed it in order to extinguish
the fire.
As water trucks continued to bring water to the
property, the fire continued
to burn in the upper portion of the home.
When the roof finally
caved in, crews were finally
able to project the water
where it was needed to
battle the fire. But by this
time, it was too late and the
mains of the home, but said

that he is going to spend
the winter in town and
will decide if he is going to
build or buy a new home in
the spring.
I am very thankful for
all of the help I have gotten from my friends and
family, closed Huinker.
Without them, I dont
know what I would do. I
also want to make sure that
I thank my neighbors, Chris
Knutson and Mark Bohr,
who were so quick to help.

SCHIMTT cont. from front

certified reserve officer during his experience in Johnson County.
In 2013, Todd was hired by the
Black Hawk County Sheriffs Office.
After gaining two years of experience
in the field, Todd saw the opportunity to apply to work back in Winneshiek County.
He initially served in Winneshiek
County as a volunteer reserve officer,
riding along with full-time deputies
and gaining experience, before he
was officially hired to become a paid,
full-time deputy.
I am really looking forward to
being able to work and serve this
community, said the new deputy.
I welcome the challenge of serving
my home community, as it will be
a much different experience than
working in Black Hawk County.
After already having been on the
force for over two weeks, Todd stated
that his experience has been great so
far.
Everything has gone smoothly
over my first few weeks, he shared.
Having worked as a reserve deputy
in the county, I was already familiar
with many of the faces around the
of Donnies, including his

late wifes wedding dress.
The important thing
is that Dad made it out
safely, noted Roger. A
house can be rebuilt, and
the items can be replaced.
Since the blaze two
weeks ago, Donnie has
moved around among the
homes of his eight children,
who all live in the area. He
hopes to be moved into an
apartment in Ossian for the
home was gone.

An excavator was
brought in to help clear debris to allow crews to make
sure that the fire was fully
extinguished. When all of
the ashes had finally settled, all that remained was
a pile of boards and other
materials that were once
Donnies home.
Since the night of the
fire, members of Donnies family were able to
start digging
through what
remains of the
home.
They
were able to
locate a chest
that contained
many
sentimental items
time-being until he can decide what his future plans

will be.
I am not really sure
what we are going to do
with all of this, said Donnie as he walked across the
cement pad that was once
his garage. There is a piece
of the car right there, he
pointed. And my lawn
mower must be under
some of this debris.
Donnie has yet to figure out what he and his
family will do with what re-
department. Right now, I am just

working on trying to familiarize myself with the roads and areas of the
county. Although I grew up here, it is
a large county and there are a lot of
areas that I am unfamiliar with.
Todd also notes that he is familiarizing himself with some of the different duties associated with his new
job, such as filing civil papers and
answering phone calls.
Overall, I am just thankful that
I have been put in a position that I
can help people, he added. That is
really what it comes down to.
As Deputy Todd Schmitt has returned home to the county in which
he grew up, he could not be happier
to be living out his dream of working
in law enforcement.
I am really looking forward to
this and the many opportunities that
I will have in Winneshiek County,
closed Schmitt. I look forward to not
only working with and learning from
my fellow officers and the countless
years of experience that they bring
to the force, but also getting to know
the great people of Winneshiek
County Gods country.

Working Together for a Cure

Medical experts agree that early detection is a womans best defense in
overcoming breast cancer. In fact, the National Breast Cancer Foundation
reports that when breast cancer is detected in the early, localized stage,
the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. The organization encourages
every woman to develop an early detection plan consisting of breast selfexams, clinical breast exams and mammograms based on age and health
history. To learn how to perform a monthly breast self-exam, go to www.
nationalbreastcancer.org or consult your healthcare professional. A family
physician or gynecologist should
perform a clinical breast exam as
part of an annual visit, and can
advise women on the frequency of
mammography scheduling.

How You Can Avoid

7 Costly Mistakes if
COREY LEE WIENEKE | AGE: 22 | DIED: OCTOBER 13, 1992

Hometown: West Liberty
Corey Wieneke was found bludgeoned to death
on the bedroom oor of his rural West Liberty
home on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1992. The cause of
death was blunt trauma to the body. A bloodstained aluminum softball bat found one mile
from his home was con rmed to be the murder weapon.
Wieneke was the late shift bartender at Winks Tap, a
downtown West Liberty tavern.
Authorities believed Wieneke knew his killer and said
there was no evidence to suggest it was a random killing,
and that they believed the person responsible was not from
West Liberty but possibly from Iowa City. Investigators
also said they did not believe the murder was drug-related
and that it could be connected to a relationship he had with
a woman. Wieneke was returning home from Iowa City
around 7 a.m. the day of the murder.
Anyone with information about Corey Wienekes unsolved
murder is encouraged to call the Muscatine County Sheriffs
Ofce at (319) 263-6055 or (800) 369-9635 or the Iowa DCI at
515-725-6010.

Ossian receives water quality award Free college planning guide available
Ossian Water Supply is one of 40 entities in the state to receive Water Fluoridation Quality Awards.
The Iowa Department of Public
Health (IDPH) announced Thursday
that Ossian Water Supply was awarded a
Water Fluoridation Quality Award from
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Fluoridation is the adjustment of
uoride in drinking water to a level effective for preventing tooth decay. The
award recognizes those communities
that achieved excellence in community
water uoridation by maintaining a consistent level of uoride in drinking water
throughout 2014.
We are pleased so many Iowa communities have achieved this measure
of excellence in their water uoridation programs, said Dr. Bob Russell,
IDPH State Public Health dental director. Studies continue to show water
uoridation prevents about 25 percent of
tooth decay in children and adults.
The Iowa College Student Aid Commission

(Iowa College Aid) has announced the availability of
its premiere college planning guide, Your Course
to College, for the 2015-16
school year. This free resource is full of information
to help students as they
prepare for college and careers after high school. The
guide helps make the transition to college easier.
Iowa
high
school
counselors were surveyed
last year to determine topics where students lacked
knowledge and understanding. Based on those
ndings, the following new
content was added:
Recommended college prep courses;

The college admis-
For 2014, a total of 2,282 public water systems in 33 states received these
awards, including 40 in Iowa.
As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of community water uoridation,
CDC and groups such as the Community
Preventive Services Task Force continue
to reafrm our commitment to water
uoridation as one of the most effective
steps a community can take to prevent
tooth decay and promote oral health,
said Katherine Weno, director, CDC Division of Oral Health.
Community water uoridation has
been recognized by CDC as one of 10
great public health achievements of the
20th century. Currently, nearly 74.6 percent, or 210 million people, served by
community water systems have access to
optimally uoridated tap water.
CDC recommends water uoridation as a safe, effective, and inexpensive
method of preventing decay. In fact, every $1 invested in uoridation saves at
least $32 in dental treatment costs.

South Winneshiek senior RaeAnn Klimesh (l) and freshman Jenna Knutson have played a big role in
the cross country teams success this season. Tuesday (Oct. 6) in Calmar, Knutson finished 17th and
Klimesh was 20th as the fifth- and sixth-finishing South Winn runners, helping the Warriors secure a
runner-up finish in the team race. (Zakary Kriener photo)

The South Winneshiek

boys and girls cross country teams finished up the
regular season portion of
their 2015 campaign over
the course of the past
week, hosting a meet Tuesday, Oct. 6, and traveling to
North Linn Saturday.
South
Winneshiek
hosted a meet at the South
Winn Golf Course in Calmar. The boys varsity squad
brought home fourth, while
the girls team was second.
The boys were led
by sophomore Derek Dietzenbach in 12th with a
time of 17:38.80. Jordan
Snyder was 17th for the
Warriors (1813.90), while

18:44.11), Paxten DeVilbiss
(29th, 18:44.50), Austin

and Paul Hageman (35th,
19:12.10).
Decorah took the team
championship, scoring 21
points. Waukon was second
with 62, followed by Central with 67. The Warriors
placed fourth with a team

total of 84 points.
On the girls side, only
three points separated the
Warriors and Class 3A No.5ranked Decorah for first.
The Warriors were
led by Shelby Reicks, who
took first in the event with
a time of 19:18.10. Felicity
Taylor (3rd, 19:29.40) and

No. 3 Wolverines nip Warriors

Zakary Kriener
A battle of two Class

1A titans took place in
Calmar Friday night as the
No. 3-ranked Dike-New
Hartford Wolverines came
to town to challenge the
Warriors. The game lived
up to the hype for those in
attendance, but in the end,
the Wolverines were a bit
too much to handle for the
injury-plagued Warriors.
The top two teams
in the district took to the
field Friday night and produced a defensive slugfest through the first half.
Neither team was able to
muster an offensive attack,
and both teams went to the
locker room deadlocked at
0.
In the second half, the
Wolverines were able to
strike first when they con-
nected on a 44-yard field

goal, taking a 3-0 lead.
D-NH found the end
zone again when it broke a
60-yard run against a tired
South Winn defense.
In the fourth quarter, the Wolverines only
extended their lead, connecting on a short 5-yard
touchdown pass and then
a 3-yard touchdown run to
give them the 23-0 win. The
D-NH win marked the first
time they had beaten South
Winn in recent years, with
the Warriors winning the
past three matchups over
the last two years.
I thought our defense
played well enough to win,
said coach Jason Ohrt after
the teams second loss of
the season. We had a hard
time making plays and getting first downs on offense,
and we had problems with
our specialty units in the

second half. We will work
to improve for next week.
Offensively, the Warriors were led by sophomore running back Rodney
Schwarthoff, who picked
up 39 rushing yards on 15
carries.
On defense, South
Winn held the Wolverines
and their potent rushing
attack to only 174 rushing yards. Cole Schmitt
led South Winn in tackles,
posting 11.5. Alec Quandahl
intercepted a D-NH pass,
his second of the season.
The loss drops the
Warriors to 5-2 on the season and 3-1 in the district,
putting them in second in
Class 2A District 4. With a
win next week over Clayton
Ridge, South Winn will be
locked into the playoffs.

ATHLETIC FACILITY cont. from front

the baseball field project
this past summer, South
Winneshiek was selected
to host the District Baseball
Tournament.
Completing the overall
project was the addition
and external upgrade of the
South Winneshiek Community School District bus
barn in Calmar. The building, which is situated near
the baseball diamond and
the football field, had been
on the districts agenda for
several years. The summer
of 2015 proved to be the
perfect time to make the
needed upgrades to the
building.
Along with an addition
to the current bus barn, the
grounds surrounding the
building were cleaned up
and the building received a
beautiful new exterior.
There are still a couple of small things to finish
up around the bus barn,
pointed out Gullickson,
but the majority of the
project is complete.
I think the kids really
do take pride in the Warrior
athletic facilities. I know
the fans really do, shared
Gullickson. I have had visiting teams come up to me
and say, Wow, this is amazing. That is a great feeling.
Gullickson also noted
that the coaching staff for
the biggest project on the

agenda, noted Gullickson.
This would have not been
possible without the support of the many great local
businesses and companies
that helped make this project feasible.
The facility received
a completely new playing
surface for the Warrior football team, along with a new
scoreboard. The track program also got a brand-new
track, allowing the school
to host a varsity track meet
in 2015 for the first time in
a decade.
Without the support
from the school board and
superintendent throughout
these projects, none of this
would be here today, added the South Winneshiek
activities director of five
years. It really took all
hands on deck with them,
along with the community
and the booster club.
The most recent portion of the athletic complex
revitalization included new
bleachers and a new press
box at the baseball field.
We already had a
beautiful baseball diamond, said Bruce. The
press box upgrade and addition of larger bleachers
are perfect complements to
the playing field.
Upon completion of
Kalishek inducted into UIU HOF
all Warrior athletic teams

has done a great job of instilling the right mentality
into the student athletes,
which has helped boost the
overall success of all of the
schools athletic teams.
Fundraising is much
easier when the teams are
successful, noted Gullickson. Over the past several years, we have seen
some amazing athletes
come through South Winneshiek, and much of that
success can be attributed
to the coaches. Overall, it is
just a winning combination
with the student-athletes,
the coaches, and now the
facilities.
Gullickson stated that
now that the athletic facilities are up to the standards
he wants them to be, he
and supporters can focus
on maintaining the facilities and programs to make
sure they can be maintained at a high level.
I think that we have
ushered in a new identity for South Winneshiek
and its athletic programs,
closed Gullickson. Our
coaches and kids truly believe that they have what it
takes to be great, and now
we can really show that
off.
Chyanne (Kleve) Kalishek, a 2000 Turkey Valley and 2005 UIU graduate, was inducted into
the Upper Iowa Hall of Fame Saturday, October 10, during its Homecoming festivities. She was
recognized for her tremendous success in softball. (Submitted photo)
