The Class 1A No. 1-ranked Turkey Valley girls basketball team cruised its way into the school record books by punching its fi rst-ever ticket to the State Bas-ketball Tournament in Des Moines. That history, how-ever, meant nothing to the group of young Trojan athletes when they stepped onto the court in Wells Far-go Arena Monday morning. Turkey Valley and Mount Ayr offi cially kicked of the 2016 Iowa State Bas-ketball Tournament shortly after 10 a.m. for fans around the state. Mount Ayr, which came into the game as one off the most effi cient shooting teams in the tour-nament, was able to keep it close in the opening quar-ter. In the second period, the Trojans were able to build a small cushion, which was capped off by a buzzer-beating layup by junior Shelby Reicks to end the half. In the third quarter, the Trojans built on their lead and led by as much as 10 points. The fourth quarter, however, belonged to the Raiderettes as they slowly chipped away at the

Turkey Valley junior guard Shelby Reicks and the Trojan girls bas-ketball team picked up a hard-fought 55-51 victory over Mount Ayr Monday morning in the fi rst round of the State Basketball Tourna-ment. Reicks contributed 17 points, including nine in the fi nal two minutes, to secure a date on Thursday with No. 4 (20-1) Burlington Notre Dame in the Class 1A semifi nals. (Zakary Kriener photo)

For many years, youth recreation leagues have been an important part of many area communities. Children have had the opportunity to play in Little League, youth football leagues, and other programs that help encourage exercise, teamwork, and many other valuable skills. Thanks to an initiative embarked upon by several local community leaders, a unifi ed recreation program for the small towns of southern Winneshiek County may soon be established to help manage and grow these worthwhile activities. The options with implementing the South Winneshiek Recreation Program are limitless, said committee member Chris Wiltgen. It started out as simply a vision and has continued to become more popu-lar and gain support. The initial committee was assembled to help brainstorm ideas and learn what it would take to establish the program. Committee members have worked to pres-ent the groups vision to several local city councils, including Ossian, Calmar, and Spillville. The committee asked for a contribu-tion of $5,000 per year from each of the three communities to help cover the costs

of running such a program. With the City of Calmar searching for a new pool man-ager, the committee would allow that posi-tion to operate within the SW Recreation Program, so Calmar pledged a contribu-tion of $18,000. Along with the local community sup-port the program hopes to receive, North-east Iowa Community College (NICC) has agreed to offer offi ce space, phone usage, and computer usage for the program. The committee also approached the Win-neshiek County Board of Supervisors for a contribution. The ultimate goal is to provide plen-ty of opportunities for our youth, added Wiltgen, but we feel that the program would bring so much more to the commu-nity. In a presentation to the Ossian City Council in early February, the South Win-neshiek Recreation Committee members prepared a list of potential benefi ts of the program. Some of the advantages they in-cluded are as follows: A recruitment tool to assist in at-tracting new families to the area; A tool to help with retention of exist-ing families in the area; An increase in property value; Organizational benefi ts to residents

by having programs coordinated; More diversity of programs provided to area youth; Potential cost savings due to more ef-fi cient programming; A feeder system for school athletic programs; Adult recreation program opportuni-ties; A centralized approach for schedul-ing of activities. Wiltgen stated that the program would have a full-time director who would be re-sponsible for coordinating all activities, promotion of activities, and scheduling. We plan to launch a one-stop website that will feature the schedules for all activi-ties and a place to fi nd all of the necessary information for each individual program, continued Wiltgen. This will make it much easier for families to get the infor-mation they need. Another positive aspect of the pro-gram is that it would not require any addi-tional facilities. The program would utilize the school gymnasiums, baseball and soft-ball diamonds, and other previously exist-ing facilities that are established within the communities that would be included. The success of the program, however, will be based upon the reception of the

idea by each community. While the City of Calmar and the City of Spillville have al-ready agreed to contribute to the program, and a pledge from NICC has been received to provide offi ce and technology needs, the City of Ossian and Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors await decisions bytheir offi cials. The Ossian City Council is expected to make a decision on its intentions at its March meeting. City Clerk Joyce Bakewell estimated that the town currently spendsapproximately $4,500 on local youth orga-nizations. When the idea was presented tocouncil members at the February meeting,the idea was well-received. If we receive support from all com-munities, we will be able to move forwardwith planning, noted Wiltgen. Our nextstep would be to begin assembling a Recre-ation Committee with representation from all participating communities, as well as to begin our search for a director. Wiltgen hopes that the program will be able to offi cially begin this fall. We have received a great deal of feed-back and hope to continue to receive that, closed Wiltgen. Even in the early stages, there are so many people to thank for thetime and effort that they have put intomaking this a real possibility.

With the creation of the South Winneshiek Recreation program, many local community leaders are hoping to establish a unifi ed recreation program for local communities, including Ossian, Calmar, and Spillville. The program would allow local Little League, youth football, volleyball, and other programs to work together and be organized under one umbrella while continuing to play at the established fi elds, diamonds, and gymnasiums in each of the communities.

The year was 1948, the Cold War was starting to heat up, the Mar-shall Plan was in full swing, and Harold Popenhagen was headed for Army basic training. Born on May 7, 1924, to Joy and Fern Popenhagen, Harold grew up on a farm in rural Wadena. He was drafted in 1948 and headed out to Fort Riley in Kansas for his basic training. Fortunately for Popenhagen, his time in the Army was fairly uneventful, but by no means any less heroic. After basic training, he was stationed in a mo-tor pool at Fort Eustis in Virginia. He was tasked with driving large trucks when not on duty chauffeuring Army offi cers. The person who I hauled wasnt from our barracks, but lived on the base, Popenhagen explained. He se-lected me to drive him all the time, and he supplied the base with food. He remembered one particular Sunday when he had to drive three of-fi cers to catch a plane in Richmond, Va. The only problem was that he only had an hour but was farther than one hour away. Despite the challenge, Popenha-gen got the three offi cers to the plane in just the nick of time. After his time in Virginia, Popenha-gen was back in Wadena on reserve duty. It was there, that he married his wife,

Military runs deep through Popenhagen heritage

Leone, on June 11, 1950. Not too long after, he was called back to Des Moines for a physical check-up. Had he passed, Popenhagen would have been on his way to Korea, but an ear infection kept him from fi ghting in the Korean War. He was discharged from the Army in 1951. When they called me back to go to Des Moines, I had an ear infection, Popenhagen said. They told me it was a kind that I would never really get over, which I havent. What I think caused it was I had a couple of wisdom teeth pulled and they were infected. After leaving the Army, Popenhagen wore many hats, from father to gas sta-tion owner at Harolds DX in Wadena. He also farmed for a short period of time,

hauled canned milk, was a carpen-ter and lastly worked for Northeast Iowa Community Action Corpora-tion. The military fl ows through the Popenhagens blood as service to the country predates America itself. Three of Harolds fourth great-grandfathers as well as a fi fth great-grandfather fought for our Independence from England in the Revolutionary War. Josiah and John Wooldridge, second great-grandfa-thers to Harold, fought in the Amer-ican Civil War.

...the best way to serve this great nation

-Ean Popehagen That patriotic sense of duty to serve ones country has extended all the way to Harolds grandson Ean Popenhagen. Ean is joining the Marines and will be shipping off for basic training in San Di-ego, Calif., on June 6. After basic, Ean will be in the Marine reserves while he attends Hawkeye Com-munity College to study business. Not very many people do [enlist] these days, soon-to-be NFV graduate commented. You have to be pretty physically fi t and up to the Marines standards. Ean isnt certain about what he wants to do after his two years at Hawkeye Community College, but he has thought about being a machine gunner in the infantry, He originally wanted to work in an artillery company. Either way, he is just happy to be following in the footsteps of his grandfather and great-grandfathers. I just fi gured the infantry would be the best way to serve this great nation, the young pa-triot closed.

When was the last time you bowled? When was the last time you did something to positively change the life of a local youth? Now, you can do both things at the same time. Youth Mentoring at Helping Services for North-east Iowa is hosting a bowl-a-thon on Saturday, March 5, at Oneota Lanes in Deco-rah. This event raises need-ed funds to connect local youths with trusted role models. This years theme, Strike It Rich, empha-sizes the rich relationships that mentoring creates for youth ages 5-16. A goal of raising $10,000 has been set by youth mentoring staff and committee members. Al-ready contributions are at $3,000. You can be in-

volved in two important ways: Bring a team and/or donate to the cause. Registration is now open for teams. A total of four members are need-ed per team. Teams can choose to bowl at 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. Create a fun team name, and register at www.helpingservices.org/men-toring. After registering, team members are asked to seek donations of $50 or more to support the mis-sion of youth mentoring. Donations can be collected in person and online. Some teams like to compete to see who on the team can bring in the most dona-tions. Now is the time to strike up a conversation with your friends, neigh-bors, club members, and

co-workers about this ex-citing event to support area youth, challenges Kathy Schwartzhoff, Mentoring coordinator at Helping Ser-vices. This event is a time for all community mem-bers to come enjoy some bowling fun and support youth already in mentoring relationships. Donations will also help us connect even more youth with posi-tive role models. If you do not wish to bowl, you can still be in-volved. When you are asked by a bowling team member, please be generous. Your contribution is not only tax-deductible, but it helps youth to have people in their life who are there for them and give them oppor-tunities to have new expe-riences. If no one asks you

to give, you can donate by texting STRIKE to 71777 or by visiting www.helping-services.org/mentoring. Mentors in youth men-toring spend four to ve hours per month with their youth doing activities they both enjoy. Short-term mentoring opportunities, which require even less of a time commitment, are also available and help provide rich experiences for area youth. For more information on how you can become involved in this rewarding volunteer opportunity or how you can help out at the bowl-a-thon event, contact Kathy Schwartzhoff at [email protected] or (563) 387-1720.

Tuesday Club meets

As spring break nears, many Iowans are making travel preparations. The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds va-cationers to make protect-ing their health part of their plans. Whether traveling to a sunny beach or ski resort, take time to learn about the health concerns that may await you. While Zika virus is pri-marily a concern for preg-nant women traveling to areas where Zika transmis-sion is ongoing, locations with biting mosquitoes also carry the treat of diseases like malaria, chikungunya, dengue or West Nile vi-rus. When visiting these warmer areas where these mosquitoes are active, be certain to use mosquito repellant at all times and try to minimize skin ex-posure when possible. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has spe-ci c travel-related health advisories, including in-formation about Zika vi-rus, at wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices. While this in uenza season has been relatively mild in Iowa, parts of the country are seeing higher activity levels. Arizona, for example, has been ex-periencing high in uenza activity. If you havent yet received your annual u vaccination, its a good idea to get vaccinated be-fore traveling. This will help protect you against picking up the u virus in areas where the virus is spreading or from fellow

travelers on planes or ships. Finally, always take care to remember basic hand hy-giene and to use sunscreen while out and about. Wash-ing your hands frequently is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of illnesses ranging from norovirus (vomiting, diar-rhea) to the common cold. Sunscreen can help prevent a number of different skin diseases from basic sun burns to skin cancer. For more information about healthy traveling, visit wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/survival-guide.

Make sure spring break travels are healthy

2016/17 football schedules releasedZakary Kriener

[email protected] The South Winneshiek Warrior football schedule will have a new look for the 2016 and 2017 football seasons. Earlier this winter, it was announced that the Warriors would remain in Class 1A, but move from District 4 to District 2. As a result, the War-riors will share only two of the same opponents from their previous district, Sumner-Fredricksburg and MFL/MarMac. New faces in the district include Denver, BCLUW, Central Springs, Lake Mills, and Belmond-Klemme. The Warriors fi nished their 2015 season with an 8-3 overall record, which in-cluded a trip to the second round of the playoffs. On Friday, schedules for the next two seasons of high school were released by the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IH-SAA). With only two non-district matchups for 2016 and 2017, the Warriors will play Wapsie Valley and St. Ansgar to kick off each sea-son. Wapsie Valley, 3-6 in 2015, will travel to Calmar in 2016, while the Warriors will take on St. Ansgar on the road in week two. St. Ansgar went 10-2 in 2015 and eliminated the War-riors in the second round of the playoffs last season. South Winn kicks off district play in 2016 by trav-eling to Denver in week three of the season. Denver
