Decorah man charged in Mill Street stabbing

BY SETH BOYES NEWS EDITOR A Decorah man was arrested following an alleged stabbing the evening of July 31.

The Decorah Police Department was dispatched at 7:26 p.m. that day to a home in the 600 block of South Mill Street, following a report of a man who had been stabbed. The victim was taken to WinnMed by ambulance, according to a statement released by the police department, and court filings say the victim sustained broken ribs and a lacerated liver. Police charged 37-year-old Alfredo Morales Hernandez with willful injury

causing serious injury — a class C felony — and he was booked into the Winneshiek County Jail at 2:35 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 1.

Morales Hernandez claimed the stabbing occurred after an argument with the victim, according to a criminal complaint, adding that the victim was holding a knife and threatened to kill him — the complaint went on to say a witness reported the two “talked poorly to each other on multiple occasions” and “would threaten to kill one another on multiple occasions, but it was always in a joking manner.” The two were not near one another prior to that night’s stabbing, according to the com-

plaint, and the victim did not approach Morales Hernandez, but the 37-year-old “went after (the victim), grabbed the knife and stabbed (the victim) three to four times.”

“After stabbing (the victim), the defendant left the room and went to his bedroom,” the complaint said.

Officers secured the scene upon arrival and began investigating the incident. The incident remains under investigation as of Thursday morning.

The Decorah Police Department was assisted by the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office and the Winneshiek County Attorney’s Office.

Decorah High School 2024 graduate Anders Lovstuen continues to inspire everyone around him.

Born without arms or legs, the 18-year-old defies expectations every day and has become a standout speech participant and integral part of the Decorah High School community, participating in many activities.

Most recently, the National Federation of State High School Associations selected Lovstuen as the sole recipient of the 2024 National High School Heart of the Arts Award. Lovstuen and his parents traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, earlier this summer for the award ceremonies. Decorah Schools Superintendent Tim Cronin and Decorah Community School Board member Ron Fadness, who serves on the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, also attended the presentation.

“Few others personify this spirit of education-based activities,” award presenters said during the Boston ceremonies.

The National Heart of the Arts Award is in its seventh year. It was conceptualized by the National Federation

of State High School Associations and has honored individuals who exemplify the ideals of a positive heart of the arts.

“Intelligent, charismatic and known for lifting up those around him, Lovstuen has risen to become captain of the DHS speech and Envirothon teams, as well as a go-to member of the robotics team and the school’s Future

A request to rezone a piece of rural Ridgeway property from agricultural to industrial was approved in a 3-2 vote by the Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors following a public hearing on the issue Monday morning.

Novilla Renewable Natural Gas submitted the zoning application, and the proposed biodigester will be located on land owned by Craig Bohr and Deb Storlie — specifically, the area near the intersection of 275th Street and Iowa Highway 9.

A biodigester contains microorganisms which break down manure in an oxygen-free environment, producing renewable natural gas, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – the facilities are also sometimes called anaerobic digestion systems or anaerobic digesters.

The zoning change request was necessary for Novilla’s proposed biodigester to be able to process and refine gases.

Monday’s public hearing was held after the county’s planning and zoning commission voted 4-2 against granting Novilla’s zoning change request. During that meeting, the commission’s

Some commissioners were also concerned about the potential for groundwater contamination — the proposed digesters are expected to be placed on a concrete base 3 feet thick, and they are to be filled with 70 feet of water to test for leaks before operations begin.

Similar concerns carried over into Monday’s public hearing, which was attended by more than 50 community members.

However, according to Winneshiek County Auditor Ben Steines, such concerns would have been more appropriately

directed to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, which oversees agricultural issues such as groundwater contamination by agricultural waste.

“The construction of the biodigester is not what the rezoning is (for),” Steines said before the public hearing began. “This board’s action, today, won’t approve or prohibit the construction of that digester. This board is deciding, if the digester is built, whether they can refine the gasses that are put out by the digester at this location. That’s what the zoning is for — the

Victims feel Jones should receive heavier sentence

BY DENISE LANA STAFF WRITER Defendant Mindy Jones stood before a Fillmore County Court for the second time in fewer than six months as she pleaded guilty to theft and forgery charges.

Jones is expected to serve 27 months in prison as part of a plea agreement. She pleaded guilty to two of the 33 charges brought against her and was sentenced to 27 months for both — the remaining charges were dismissed as part of the plea arrangement.

However, the state of Minnesota

Courtroom sketch by Seth Boyes does not allow consecutive sentences, so Jones will serve her pair of 27-month jail terms simultaneously — she must serve at least 18 months before being eligible for supervised release, and she has been given 174 days credit for time served.

The theft and forgery charges Jones pleaded guilty to on Monday stemmed from incidents which occurred in 2021. At

BY ZACH JENSEN STAFF WRITER Spillville’s water system has been in need of replacement for more than a decade, and the county’s resurfacing of Winneshiek County Road W14 has provided an opportunity for such a project to take place.

Former Spillville mayor and longtime city council member Tom Straube said a 2023 fire in the town’s business district emphasized the project was beyond past due – Straube said, because the city’s water tower only contains several days of water for the entire community, if the hydrants had been fully opened to douse the flames, the city’s entire water supply could have been used up within an hour. Instead, the town called for mutual aid from nearly all nearby fire departments in order to extinguish last year’s blaze.

Straube said the Spillville City Council started discussing the replacement of the water tower and mains about 10 years ago, when Iowa State Sen. Mike Klimesh was the town’s mayor.

“The need for this project has been on Spillville’s radar for about a decade,” said the town’s current mayor Paul Wermers.

“The sewer system faced issues back in 2008 due to flooding under Mayor Michael Klimesh, who successfully secured funding for its replacement. Over time, we also had to replace compromised sections of the water pipe — particularly on Backstreet. With the current project, we are addressing the last section of the water and sewer infrastructure on Main Street, which will complete our upgrade to brand-new water and sewer lines.”

Wermers said the project involves installing new water mains and sewers on the east side of Main Street and replacing the old infrastructure with fresh, modern pipes.

“We expect the project to be completed in several phases, starting in August and continuing through next summer for the water tank,” he said. “The exact timeline will depend on various factors such as weather Spillville’s water tower, which holds only enough water to last city residents a few days, dates back to about 1918 and will be replaced by an onground pressurized tank system as part of the town’s water project, which begins Aug. 12.

and construction conditions.”

Straube said the primary reason the city is completing the water main project now is because of the Winneshiek County Road W14 resurfacing project.

“The existing water and sewer were put in in 1969, so we’re trying to be proactive and get it in ahead of the new street,” he said.

City officials originally applied for assistance from Iowa’s State Revolving Fund to help pay for the project — an estimated 82 percent of the town is considered low-income.

“We were told we could apply for an SRF loan from the state,” he said, “and if we scored high enough, we’d get half the project paid for by that.

But, then they told us, since our water system wasn’t failing, we didn’t qualify. We were trying to be proactive, so our system doesn’t fail. “ Straube said the town was eventually approved for a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant, which brought the total project cost down to $1.6 million.

“The remaining amount will be covered through a combination of city funds and other financial resources, including the Iowa Economic Development Authority, which administers the federal Community Development Block Grant program,” Wermers said.

The project involves replacing all water mains on Main Street from the city shop to the north bridge. The city’s water tower will also be replaced with an on-ground storage tank.

Straube said the change will increase water pressure for many Spillville residents.

“The current water tower is gravity fed,” he said. “The new system will be pressurized, so everyone’s water pressure will be the same for once.”

The biggest complaint Straube foresees as a result of the project is that the town’s water rates will likely need to be increased.

City council to meet ‘Drumming across the state’ to consider options Waterloo resident shares health and social benefits with Iowa communities for filling vacancy

seas while teaching in Egypt, I was invited to a wedding where drums were an integral piece of the marriage ceremony,” Bailey said. “It wasn’t until later, after returning home and resuming a career in social services, that I began to infuse drumming into the work with youth. Currently, it’s all about Drum Iowa and

reaching and educating people on the beauties of drum culture.”

Bailey said he loves how drumming unites people from different backgrounds.

“In the drum circle environment, there is no star, and it is not a show,” he said. “It is a collection of ‘drum voices’ creating a singular sound. Sometimes, it can be chaotic, making facilitation very important. Another thing I love is the idea that drum communities tend to be supportive and the relationships longstanding. I also love how Drum Iowa circles welcome all people, regardless of race, gender, religion or politics. We tend to stay away from the things that divide us and focus on how we are alike.”

Bailey has drummed in Decorah several times in the last year since founding Drum Iowa, and he hopes that inspires local drummers to begin an independent tradition.

“I really love coming to Decorah and believe you all have the potential to have a very robust drumming community,” he said. “We hosted a Drum Circle at Dunning’s Springs last year, as well as a collaborative drum retreat with Liz Rog last year. I hope to help Decorah develop a drumming community of its own that meets regularly.”

For information on how to participate in a future drum circle, see Drum Iowa’s Facebook page, or contact Bailey directly at drumiowa@gmail.com.

or missions as part of a team.

Prompts specific to the hatchery might ask participants to stop at the nearby Siewers Spring, which feeds the facility’s fish raceways, and answer a question about the volume of water by sharing a photo or video. Others may simply ask a teammate to post a photo of their best fish-face, or to tag their location with the app’s GPS. “Some are educational, some are just fun and whimsical, and the whole idea is to get people out here at the hatchery, learning about what we do but also just exploring the outdoors and having fun with the partners they’re with,” Neal said.

Results will be posted to an online leaderboard — Neal said teams may earn bonus points for creative responses — and the upcoming launch event will conclude with prize drawings.

Neal, who teaches chemistry and physical science at Postville High School, began her time with the hatchery in March as part of an externship — a term for community-level partnerships aimed at allowing educators to experience real-world careers and applications related to their specific fields, which can then inspire project-based learning in the classroom. Neal initially hoped to focus on water quality work during her time at the hatchery and, while she was able to participate in trout stocking and even turtle trapping, she also noticed the hatchery was in need of greater public engagement.

A friend of Neal’s had previ-

ously helped Decorah’s Vesterheim Museum use Goosechase to offer online educational programming in 2020, and Neal saw the app’s potential not only for her own classroom but for the hatchery itself.

The Decorah Hatchery was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the mid-1930s, and it continues to draw visitors constantly throughout the year, Neal said.

Brian Malaise, fisheries hatchery biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said staff don’t keep specific numbers on how many visitors stop at the hatchery, but the facility generates approximately $14,000-$16,000 annually from 25-cent fish food sales. He said the hatchery has become a local destination in its own right as well as a generational tradition for many families. In addition, the hatchery hosts hundreds of school tours, upwards of a dozen weddings and a handful of funerals each year.

“The Goosechase app has the chance to reach an almost immense number of people that are coming to the fish hatchery and to the Decorah area,” Malaise said.

Malaise went on to say many people — both inside and outside the Decorah area — don’t necessarily understand the ecological interconnectedness of the greater Driftless Area. He said engaging with the public can help shine a light on the hatchery’s broader work and demonstrate where the community’s water supply comes from and by extension the importance of promoting local water quality — he noted the spring from which the local hatchery draws water for its fish is one of the main tributaries of the Upper Iowa River.

Drumming can serve as a source of music and communication, but one Iowa-based instructor is teaching the art of drumming as a type of neural therapy.

Drum Iowa founder Myquawn Bailey has been visiting communities around Iowa for the past year — hoping to start independent drum circles and to teach participants the value of drumming. The Waterloo resident led a drum circle Aug. 3 at Will Baker Park in Decorah — helping more than 20 area residents understand the power of drumming.

“There are many health benefits to drumming regularly,” said Bailey, who holds a master’s degree in behavioral studies. “Science supports drumming in dementia patients as well as stroke survivors. In short, drumming exercises the left and right portions of our brains, making it an amazing brain workout.”

Bailey said drumming can also be a great coping skill when done in conjunction with breathing practices.

“A recent study even suggests drumming to be a great tool for youth struggling with behavioral concerns,” he said. “Drumming has been proven to be a great team-building activity as well. There are so many benefits to incorporating this incredible tool into our daily lives.”

(Photo by Zach Jensen) Bailey grew up in an African American Baptist church, where music was a critical piece of worship, and he said that although he didn’t have a knack for drumming at that time, he was always fascinated by how the congregation’s drummer “drove the flow” of worship.

BY SETH BOYES NEWS EDITOR Visitors to the Decorah Fish Hatchery may soon be looking at their phones more often but, rather than being a digital distraction, the phones may be a sign the hatchery’s plan to increase engagement with the public is working.

The hatchery plans to host a launch event from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 17 for the first of what may be many scavenger hunts at the hatchery, which staff will coordinate through the mobile app Goosechase.

Emily Neal of Decorah, who signed on as the hatchery’s ex-

tern earlier this year, helped create the upcoming scavenger hunt.

“I have never been someone who gravitates toward the electronics — ever — so my doing this is interesting, but everyone has a phone and people love to take pictures,” Neal said. “You can’t go anywhere and not see people taking pictures of themselves outside doing things — like selfies with the fish. So why not harness the energy that people have both for the fish and their taking selfies to create an experience that many people are enjoying together?”

BY DENISE LANA STAFF WRITER The Decorah City Council will meet in special session at 5:45 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8 to potentially decide how to fill an expected vacancy on the council.

Councilman Ross Hadley announced in mid-July he intended to resign as he and his wife prepare to move out of the community — Hadley indicated Monday they may still maintain their Decorah home. The announcement prompted discussion among Decorah City Council members regarding the best way to fill Hadley’s seat. City attorney John Anderson helped council members weigh pros and cons of filling a vacancy by either appointment or election.

The council generally felt appointing a new council member was not ideal. They noted an appointed council member would still need to appear on the upcoming Nov. 5 general election ballot to maintain the seat. In addition, the public could still petition for a special election to be held.

Councilman Randy Schissel then proposed the city could coordinate a potential election with the upcoming general election on Nov. 5. It was noted Monday that the ballots for that election have not been yet printed, and Anderson confirmed a special election could run in conjunction with the upcoming election, so long as the county auditor has been provided 32

3

days notice. The cost of a special election was estimated at upwards of $6,000 to $8,000.

The council discussed a number of specifics, such as deadlines for submission of paperwork, publishing notices, when applications are due, even the definition of a vacancy — Anderson noted Hadley had yet to formally submit his resignation in writing, which he felt made Hadley’s resignation date somewhat unclear.

The general consensus of the council leaned heavily toward filling Hadley’s seat by special election. Decorah City Manager Travis Goedken was not at Monday’s meeting, and the council hoped he could provide further guidance on the matter.

Several council members suggested a special council meeting be held later the same week.

“I don’t think we should wait until the next council meeting,” said Councilwoman At Large Emily Neal. “I would hope we could clarify things and have a quick meeting, or we just have a special election.”

Councilman Kirsten Olson agreed.

“I like the idea of getting together Thursday or Friday and getting this done as quickly as possible,” Olson said.

The council voted to table the discussion — with Hadley abstaining — until Thursday and instructed Anderson to look into the specifics of a special election ahead of Thursday’s meeting.

Officials at the Decorah Fish Hatchery don’t keep strict tallies on how many visitors stop at the local landmark, but the hatchery generates approximately $14,000-$16,000 a year from its 25-cent fish food sales. (Photo by Seth Boyes) Malaise feels the Goosechase app and the challenges Neal is creating for visitors may be an effective method for reaching curious minds by mingling recreation with education.

“Sometimes — as Emily can tell you as a teacher — if you can make it fun, it sinks in more than if it sounds like they’re being lectured to,” Malaise said.

Neal noted the hatchery currently has a number of informational signs and educational boards, but she said it’s unclear how often visitors actually read them. She said many visitors come with questions about the hatchery and its stock of trout, and staff don’t often have the time to stop and answer every inquiry.

“But they want to,” Neal said.

“They want this education about fish and our trout streams in general. So this is another way in which this can provide that educational platform. Within the scavenger hunt, you can insert these sorts of common ques-

tions people ask about fish.”

Neal agreed to extend her initial externship at the hatchery by a matter of weeks in preparation for this month’s upcoming launch, which she described as a low-maintenance test run, but she feels the idea has plenty of potential for growth. The Goosechase missions could be tailored for specific visiting groups — anything from senior center to daycares — and new challenges could potentially be created on a monthly basis to encourage past participants to revisit the hatchery throughout the year.

“Any time you can connect young people to the natural world — if that’s a fish or a tree, any experience that they have — you plant the seed for someone willing and wanting to protect it or to recognize the inherent value our natural world has,” Neal said. “Any time you can engage a kid and plant that seed, you’re creating the stewards for tomorrow.”

I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But I do know a couple things about local government they hear something that gets their hackles up (and I say that as someone who spent eight years sitting largely alone in rooms like that, twiddling my pen between boiler-plate agenda items). And, although most of us took some form of civics or government class in high school, most of us aren’t as familiar with these things as we might think.

I mean, before moving to Decorah, I literally watched as a woman berated her county board of supervisors one day for not pursuing what she thought was a sure-fire way to help balance the county budget — only to have the county attorney slowly turn his head toward the podium and tell the woman her idea is illegal under state law (she wanted to cut health benefits for county employees over a certain age, in case you’re curious).

Which finally brings me back to this week’s hubbub. Though I’m not a lawyer, it’s my experience that the chair is indeed in charge of the board meetings — the chair opens public hearings,

Arrogance of power

Public hearings are for the public

BY SETH BOYES NEWS EDITOR

I have been watching the Winneshiek Board of Supervisors’ Meetings for many years.

Since early 2023, I’ve followed the current Board, missing only five of the weekly meetings. What I have seen and heard from Supervisors Langreck, Vick and Kelsay makes me concerned about the future of Winneshiek County.

These three men have ignored citizens who have gone to their meetings to bravely speak up and share their concerns. Knowing they already had their minds made up, they could offer no more than offensive, smirking glances. Women in particular have been the victims of this elitism. When the vote was taken on the issue at hand, they revealed an attitude of indifference to the citizens’ concerns. Mr. Langreck has often said, “That’s my opinion,” as if to say he has his mind

made up before listening to what the voters of the county have to say.

It’s well past time for a change of membership on the board of supervisors.

Respectfully submitted, Lyle Otte Decorah

In early 2023, I started attending weekly Winneshiek Board of Supervisor meetings either in person or online. Today — Aug. 5 — I attended, in person, a meeting that included a public hearing related to rezoning Winneshiek County farmland from agricultural to general industrial. At least 70 people were in attendance in person and online. I watched the board chair Dan Langreck point and shout and argue with members of the public who were there to share their thoughts and opinions, stating that he is “in charge” and would decide what comments would be allowed. During the public hearing time, three particular supervisors used time to express opinions and allow the project investors extended time to promote their proposed development — it appeared to me that three supervisors already had their minds made up prior to the meeting.

That’s not the purpose of a public hearing. The public hearing time is for the public. The chair’s words and actions discouraged attendees from speaking, rather than feeling like their input is welcome. The board of supervisors is supposed to represent the public, and that requires listening. Winneshiek County deserves better than what I witnessed today — the board chair shouting at members of the public. We deserve supervisors who will be courteous and listen to people who want to share their thoughts — not shut them down — and actually consider public input at a public hearing. We have an election coming up — and we seriously need a change. I encourage Winneshiek County residents to look at all their options and vote accordingly.

closes public hearings and, yes, in certain instances places limits on comments during those public hearings.

Chairs can legally place limits on how long each member of the public is allowed to speak at the microphone. Chairs can tell the public to stick to new information only in order to keep a hearing moving. Chairs can admonish speakers that their comments are to be directed at the board members and not an applicant or developer — seriously, I think they got so fed up with people asking about this stuff back in my old coverage area that the P&Z commission there finally just had the chair read off the legal-speak about what they could and couldn’t do ahead of every single meeting (gives me flashbacks just thinking about it).

Now, from what rumors have reached my ears, there may have been some tonal issues between some folks in the Winneshiek County Courthouse Annex on the Monday morning in question, but that’s a bit of

another manner.

Argue all you want about civility. Argue all you want about handling a topic with decorum.

Argue all you want about the heavy mantle of representative government — that’s your right. But when it comes to who is in charge of a public hearing, I think Mr. chairman got it right. You don’t have to like it, but that’s how it is in my experience.

That said, you don’t have to take my word for it.

After all, I don’t know for sure. I wasn’t there. I just know a couple things about local government after cramming into those kinds of meetings for the last eight years.

Agree with Seth? Think he’s got it completely backwards or he’s missed the point entirely?

Parks and rec board seats should remain elected positions To the editor: It was recently reported in the Decorah Leader that some of the Decorah City Council members would be interested in possibly changing the structure of the Decorah Park and Recreation Board from an elected board to an appointed board.

When people are no longer given the opportunity to vote, it is dangerous for democracy.

Decorah’s Park and Rec program has had a long-standing positive reputation. Growing up in Decorah, my mom signed me up for some of the programs. I took some swimming lessons through park and rec. I also participated in the terrific arts and crafts programs. During my park and rec time, the recreation program focused on arts and crafts and theatre. I would

like the program to expand to include different types of recreation. I definitely would like more expansion of the programs for the special needs and the adult populations.

There have been rumors swirling regarding presidential voting. Keeping the rumors in mind, I would encourage that all elected positions have term limits.

Decorah Parks and Recreation Board must remain as an elected board. If the right to vote is threatened or it if is taken away, then democracy is dead.

Echoes of the Past

Homegrown clowns and queens featured in Centennial Parade

BY ROZ WEIS STAFF WRITER The happenings around Decorah back in early August of 1949 concentrated on the summer celebration of the community’s 100th anniversary. The Centennial Parade was the point of conversation for months following the grand festivities. Well remembered were several floats along the parade route. A round-up featured in the newspapers captured several of the floats, including entries from the U.S. Army and Air Force, Herwig Barbers (with some of the Whisker Club bearded gentleman on board), Larsen Clothier and Northwestern Bell Telephone Company.

One of the finest entries was the circus clown band float, sponsored in the parade by Thurst’s Music Shop. Resplendent in bright grease paint, each homegrown “clown” played a musical instrument of some type.

Under the direction of Kjome himself, the band played circus music continuously over the entire parade route. The float was made by a capable group of volunteers, including Martin Bergan, Phil Hexom, Hank Frana and Kjome. Those “painted clowns” seen along the city streets were names of those still familiar with locals: Bill Lockhard, Lowell Peterson, Phil Hexom, Ralph Tyler, Roger Stoskopf, Glen Evenson Dr. Gordon Luce, Jeff Peterson, Willard Linnevold, Pearl Broderick, Al Jacobs, Eli Ellickson,

John Alstad and Al Finck. “Circus Daze” was the theme for Kjome’s entry.

Here are a few more select local newspaper headlines from memorable eras in time:

Timp opens new redemption center in former JB Holland building

BY ZACH JENSEN STAFF WRITER Decorah is home to a new can redemption center.

Luke Timp, who lives near Conover, recently opened the Decorah Redemption Center at 2092 Iowa Highway 9 in Decorah — the former home of JB Holland Construction, Inc. “It’s been real good,” he said.

“I think business will pick up as more people find out I’m here.”

Dawn Horns of Decorah, who brings in about two months worth of redeemable containers at a time, said Timp’s redemption service is far more convenient than taking her cans and bottles to Cresco’s redemption center or Walmart.

“It’s more convenient for us,

because we live nearby,” said Horns, who recently brought in $77 worth of cans and bottles in one trip. “Every place is a little different.”

Timp provides large plastic bags for his customers each time they use his redemption center, and each of those bags can hold 200-300 cans.

“Here, you can just bring in your cans and bottles as you have them,” Timp said. “You can either have them counted, or we’ll come up with an estimate, and you’re out the door right away.”

Iowans purchase 1.79 billion refundable containers every year, while redeeming 1.27 billion — 70 percent — of that total, an Iowa Department of Natural Resources report said. At 5

cents per container, that’s $63.5 million in redeemed containers every year and $26 million in unredeemed containers.

Redemption centers in Iowa are paid the state’s 5-cent deposit and an additional 3 cents per container in handling fees, according to Iowa Code — giving redemption center owners greater incentive to collect as many cans as possible at their facilities.

Timp said that because of his full-time job, the redemption center is only open from 6-8 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.

He hopes he can eventually work at the redemption center full time and keep it open during regular business hours. For information, call 563-380-9927.

A pile of approximately 9,000 cans stood inside the new redemption center. That number of cans is worth $720 to a redemption center owner, according to information provided by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. (Photo by Zach Jensen)

Supervisors

continued from front

Donna Rasmussen, who sits on the county’s planning and zoning commission, was one of the two commissioners who voted in favor of the rezoning request on July 16. She attended the Aug. 5 public hearing and publicly shared why she was in favor of the zoning change.

“Methane capture is a huge part of climate change mitigation. The manure is already there. It’s in an open lagoon right now — releasing methane and other gases into the atmosphere directly. When you have manure in an underground storage facility, like in a pit or a lagoon, you have very real concerns about leaks from those facilities. By moving the manure into an above-ground digester, I feel you have better capability to detect leaks.”

Rasmussen said that the fibrous digestate resulting from the biodigester’s process is a more chemically-consistent product than manure, which is safer to use as fertilizer than raw manure. She said the potential benefits of the digester outweigh the risks in her opinion.

But, that opinion was not shared by many members of the public in attendance. Fifteen attendees voiced negative opinions of the issue — primarily regarding the chemicals produced during the anaerobic process and the safety of the area’s groundwater.

“I do think the supervisors have the right to talk about stuff like this, in terms of water quality, animals, manure and drinking water, because this does affect it,” said county resident Mike Stike. “If you rezone it, it’s going to change things.

But, you guys can do something about it before it even gets to DNR. You guys can stop this

this, for our water quality, our livelihood and our rights as citizens to be able to drive down the road and not choke on the odors that are happening out there. You lead this county. We live here. We have the right to clean air and clean water.”

Chris Jones, founder of Driftless Water Defenders, agreed with Stike about the potential for groundwater contamination.

“I understand issues regarding the rezoning — what’s the responsibility of DNR, what’s the responsibility of supervisors,” Jones said. “To just wash your hands of these expected circumstances just isn’t right.

DNR data shows that 356 out of 1,452 wells in Winneshiek County have elevated nitrates.”

Supervisor Chairperson Dan Langreck interrupted Jones and informed him that the potential for groundwater contamination had nothing to do with the rezoning request — reminding the gallery that, as Steines pointed out prior to the hearing, the morning’s hearing only concerned Novilla’s ability to process and refine gases at the site.

Jones responded by asking Langreck if there was no freedom of speech in the public hearing.

“I’m in charge of this meeting,” Langreck exclaimed. “I will let you speak as long as what you’re talking about has to do with the zoning request.”

A brief argument ensued surrounding the roles and responsibilities of the chairperson during a public hearing — questions with which environmental attorney Jim Larew of Iowa City was also concerned, in addition to his thoughts on the biodigester’s potential for contaminating the area’s drinking water.

“You have a problem in this county, the most beautiful place

the Driftless Water Defenders organization. “You have a rolling movement of people here that believe it’s a civil right to have access to clean water. The materials that this organization, which is a profit-making group of investors — let’s recognize it for what it is — has a proclamation of all of these things that it will achieve. Nowhere does it say it will improve the quality of your water. That would be a misstatement of truth. We can show that where digesters have been used, the quality of the water deteriorates … because the digester increases the quantity of livestock nearby. Things have been improving generally, maybe, as some people here have attested but not the quality of your water. It’s getting worse.”

Larew also scrutinized how Langreck was conducting the public hearing.

“We’re told we’re not going to talk about the technology,” Larew said. “The very zoning provisions that these folks want to amend to include to be zoned as M2 specifically states that ‘buildings or structures authorized in this district shall not become a source of water pollution or contamination.’”

Larew cautioned the supervisors to obey the wording and purpose of the county’s zoning ordinance, adding “I would urge you to give respect to the citizens who … wish to be

- The supervisors continued their discussion of generator options for the Community Services Building.

- Winneshiek County Engineer Michael Kueny said data collection for the Middle Hesper Road speed study has been completed, and the report will be finished this week.

The next meeting of the Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors will be held at 9:30 a.m., Monday, Aug. 12 in the courthouse annex.

Straube said the change will increase water pressure for many Spillville residents.

“The current water tower is gravity fed,” he said. “The new system will be pressurized, so everyone’s water pressure will be the same for once.”

The biggest complaint Straube foresees as a result of the project is that the town’s water rates will likely need to be increased.

“Our water and sewer rates have been the lowest around, and that’s going to change once the project is completed,” he said.

Simultaneously, Winneshiek County Road W14 will be resurfaced — first from Fort Atkinson to Spillville and then from Spillville to Ridgeway. County officials agreed to let the town’s water main project settle for one year before resurfacing the portion of the county road which runs through Spillville.

“It’s exciting,” Wermers said.

“It’s rewarding to be involved in projects that will benefit Spillville for years to come.”

The public hearing was closed after nearly three hours, and the supervisors held the first reading of the zoning ordinance — the board also voted 3-2 to skip the second and third readings as allowed under Iowa law. Ultimately, Supervisors Mark Faldet and Shirley Vermace voted against the rezoning, while Supervisors Steve Kelsay, Mark Vick and Langreck voted in favor of the request. The 3-2 vote will now allow Novilla’s proposed biodigester facility to process and refine gases on the property.

Gooder to speak on Winneshiek County mill research

Bear Creek Archaeology’s Shay Gooder will host a presentation on Winneshiek County Mills from 6:30-8 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 14, at the German American Museum, Library and Family History Center, 212 East Main St., in St. Lucas.

Organizers said the Winneshiek County mill project represents an intensive reconnaissance-level investigation, merging archival research, Geographic Information System analysis and non-invasive archeological survey techniques in the identification and evaluation of mill sites within the county. The project was developed in coordination with the Winneshiek County Historic Preservation Commission, based on a concern over the lack of information regarding these mill sites and their current status.

Using maps, newspaper archives, county histories and previous survey work, researchers generated a comprehensive dataset of 71 unique lo-

cations pertaining to sawmills, grist mills, woolen mills and other water-powered industries which once operated within Winneshiek County. Where accessible, field investigations, visual assessments, digital photography, GPS-mapping, soil profiling and landowner interviews were conducted on the mill sites.

Organizers said the survey work resulted in the documentation of a surprising amount of evidence pertaining to these mill sites, despite a majority of them being abandoned for well over a century. These survey results were compiled in a detailed report entitled “Winneshiek County Mills.”

Shay’s upcoming presentation will cover the foundation for the project, the survey methodology employed, organization of the final report, interpretations of the archeological record associated with mill sites and recommendations for future investigative work.

Since 2010, Shay Gooder

A photograph of the Trout River Mill circa 1900. (Photo courtesy of the Winneshiek County Historic Preservation Commission) has served as a Project Archeologist at Bear Creek Archeology, Inc. of Cresco, where he has specialized in GIS analysis, digital site mapping, geomorphic evaluation, faunal identification and community outreach services. While at BCA, Gooder has participated in numerous cultural resource surveys, site testing projects and intensive data recovery efforts, in addition to authoring more than 100 technical reports.

Since 2012, BCA has part-

nered with the WCHPC in conducting countywide reconnaissance-level assessments of important historical resources. Gooder has directed field investigations and completed GIS-intensive reports for these projects, which include rural schoolhouses, notable stone structures and most recently, water-powered mills. Gooder’s current research is focused on abandoned townsites of Iowa, with active studies in Benton and Howard counties.

the event is “Hats Off to Iowa,” and entries in 15 classes will highlight special places in Iowa, well known people from Iowa and significant events in Iowa’s history. Artistic crafts feature objects with a function such as a cap, a basket or a candle.

The objects may be artistically pleasing but were not created solely for their artistic value.

The challenge of the exhibitor is to use plant material and other components to make them more attractive. Entries will not be judged, but a People’s Choice Award will be offered.

Refreshments will be served on the church’s patio. There is no admission charge, but a freewill offering will be accepted.

New brew to be available locally following state fair debut A new collaborative beer supporting Iowa’s craft beer industry is expected to be available in taprooms across the state following its debut at this year’s Iowa State Fair. “Yield of Dreams,” was brewed this spring at Field Day Brewing in North Liberty — the new beer’s name is a nod to the craft beer industry’s impact on Iowa’s agriculture industry and throughout the state’s rural communities. Yield of Dreams is a lager made with corn sourced from an Iowa farmer. Organizers said the brew is expected to be available locally at Pulpit Rock Brewing Company.

Jones sentenced continued from front Angell said. “She has cost me more than $100,000 so far. This is behind us now and it’s in the past, but it’s hard to move on.”

Jones is scheduled to appear for trial in the arson case in February of 2025.

“I wake up every day and look to see if anyone else has filed a case against her,” said Angell. “We’ll see what happens in February.”

In September of 2022, Jones

was also convicted of felony theft by swindle in Fillmore County after selling fake charity raffle tickets for a John Deere UTV. She was sentenced to work release and given a suspended prison sentence in that case.

Corson noted Monday’s conviction could potentially be used against Jones to impeach her credibility in any future cases and trials.

that time, Jones was living near Cresco with Bill Ondrashek Jr. She stole 11 paychecks belonging to Ondrashek between January and August of that year, forged his signature and deposited them into her personal and business accounts in Harmony, Minnesota. The total amount in checks stolen by Jones was a little more than $37,000 — nearly $27,000 into her Tin Rust consignment store and Harmony store account, $2,800 into a separate small business account and $7,300 into her personal account.

Ondrashek noticed the missing checks in June of 2022 and contacted his employer, ultimately revealing the theft.

Jones explained to the court on Monday how she falsely endorsed the checks, and she admitted her guilt for the record.

Fillmore County Attorney Brett Corson addressed the court on behalf of Ondrashek, who was not present Monday.

“He clearly feels betrayed, that she would take this money from him,” Corson said, adding that Ondrashek does hard labor at an area farm operation. “He has a business at the same time.

He is very angry about it and th because he would 8 frustrated, Grade like to see more of a consencipal quence for Miss Jones.”

Jones was ordered to pay full restitution to Ondrashek, in addition to $430 in court fees — Corson expressed doubt Ondrashek will receive full repayment, noting such matters typically go to collections.

Ondrashek’s father, Bill Ondrashek Sr., said he too would have liked to see Jones receive a harsher jail sentence.

“I think it’s very unfair. She should have gotten a lot more time,” he said. “My son trusted her with his life. Just getting her totally out of his life and hopefully never having to ever see her again will be a great relief.”

Jones was convicted earlier this year of eight counts of felony theft at her business — a consignment store called Tin, Rust & Harmony — with locations in Waukon as well as Harmony, Minnesota. In 2021, Jones defrauded local artist Marsha Angell of more than $32,000 through bounced checks and false agreements.

The business’ Waukon location was destroyed by fire which killed a dog in an upstairs apartment. The cause was later determined to be arson. After a year-long investigation, Jones was charged in Allamakee County with first-degree arson and animal abuse.

“I don’t think she got anywhere near enough time,”

Quilts of Valor awarded to 24 area veterans during Nordic Fest A total of 23 area veterans were awarded Quilts Of Valor in two presentations at the Carrie Lee Elementary Auditorium during this year’s Nordic Fest. A private presentation for William “Bill” Headington was also held by Quilts of Valor #541. The Quilts Of Valor Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization with the mission of covering service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts Of Valor. To nominate a veteran, contact Julie Lukes at 563-562-3511.

Lovstuen Farmers of America chapter,” award presenters said. “He does all this while maintaining a 4.0 grade-point average that made him a National Merit Scholar, including him in a select group comprising less than one percent of all high school seniors in the United States. Lovstuen also scored a perfect ACT score of 36.”

Shining from the speech contest stage Lovstuen’s extracurricular talents on the speech contest stage were illustrated during the award ceremonies in Boston.

He is a four-year member of the high school’s speech team, and he earned the Iowa High School Speech Association AllState honors in both the Readers Theater and Improvisation categories in 2022 as well as 2023. Last year, his improvisation group claimed the IHSSA’s highest honor — the Critic’s Choice Award, which earned them the title of best performers out of the 566 teams which competed statewide.

Educators say Lovstuen has remained true to form as a role model along the way to these admirable accolades, helping organize DHS’ district contest and exemplifying for younger teammates what it means to act, dress and compete with class.

“He is really good at getting everyone involved,” said speech coach Molly Holkesvik. “He’s such a good leader and brings a lot of other people along with him.”

Coach Gabe Twedt said Lovstuen is the type who is willing to help other students, and coach Carrie Kaufman said Lovstuen’s mentoring abilites are a major strength.

“Our program is better and strong because he’s a part of it,” Kaufman said.

Brains in the barn and beyond Lovstuen also served as captain of his high school’s Envirothon team — the program aims to educate students about the environment and conservation of natural resources through hands-on experience, study and collaborative competitions, according to information from the organization’s website.

As captain, Lovstuen also was responsible for leading the team’s study sessions, which evidently paid off. Decorah High School’s Envirothon team reigned supreme last year, earning top marks in every category

— soils/land use, aquatic ecology, forestry and wildlife— at the state competition. The local team, known as Decorah Nerd Republic, went on to represent the state of Iowa at the North American Envirothon event hosted by the National Conservation Foundation, where they took home a top-20 finish.

Lovstuen is also one of the lead coordinators of the school’s robotics program, developing ideas for the team’s robot and coordinating the team’s tournament interview process. His guidance helped the team capture the Judges’ Choice Award at the league tournament, and the team also won its super qualifier competition.

He has served as treasurer of his Future Farmers of America chapter, chair of the Growing Leaders Division chair and several other FFA committees.

Louvstuen has been an active participant within the chapter, district and state levels and an avid competitor at skills competitions. Over the years, he has placed first in Oral Reasons, third place in Conduct of Meetings — with a gold rating in 2021 — another gold rating for Treasurer’s Book in 2023 and a silver rating for Parliamentary Procedure. Lovstuen also helped his team take second place at the 2023 State Dairy Cattle Evaluation Contest. He is involved with 4-H as well and was a member of an All-Star Dairy judging team, capturing fourth place at the North American International Livestock Exposition.

And, although he can’t compete on the field or the mat, Lovstuen found a way to be a key contributor to the Decorah football and wrestling programs. He has kept statistics for the football team for the past six seasons and attends every wrestling practice as a manager. During matches, he provided broadcast commentary on the team’s Facebook video streams.

Academics In addition to carrying a perfect GPA, Lovstuen tutors fellow students experiencing academic difficulties and has competed in the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications and High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling during each of his four high school years. Two years ago, he was a part of the first team in state history to be HiMCM finalists, which placed them in the top 7 percent of competi-

continued from front

tors in the country and clinched a berth in COMAP’s International Mathematical Modeling Challenge.

On top of everything else, Lovstuen is part of the DHS Student Leadership Committee and the National Honor Society. He also finds time to write for the school newspaper, The Decorah Dispatch, working as a liaison between the student body and the administration.

He played a major role in organizing the school’s Viking Olympics during homecoming week his senior year, and he functioned as the master of ceremonies for the all-school pep assembly.

More recently, Lovstuen was named one of the state’s Academic All-State 2024 Top 10 students by the Des Moines Register.

Future plans Lovstuen will soon be heading off to Iowa State University in the central-Iowa community of Ames this fall where he plans to major in agronomy.

He said his FFA advisor Joni Bruvold had a significant impact on his chosen field of posthigh school study.

“She has been there during all four years of ag classes at high school,” Lovstuen said.

He went on to say he’s eager for that next chapter.

“I’m excited to be able to focus on studying something I’m really interested in,” he said.

His future goal is to settle in the Decorah area and work as an agronomist for the US Department of Agriculture. He also hopes to be involved in showing dairy cattle and work on the family farm.

“I plan to be an active member of the Decorah FFA Alumni, helping with contests and mentoring students with their show animals,” he said. “I also would be interested in being an assistant coach for the Envirothon team.”

He has been inspired by his family - his parents and his sisters Anya and Lyla.

“I couldn’t have done it without my parents and my sisters,” he said.

As his family plans ahead for his move to college, his mom was quick to mention the quality she feels is most central to her son’s success — his heart.

“He’s kind with everyone he interacts with,” Allysen Lovstuen said. “That’s what we are the most proud of.”
