Jerry Barlow Concert At
Calmar LibraryBy Mary Welch
You could close your eyes and be transported to another place and time by the haunting celtic finger-style guitar music of Jerry Barlow at the free concert sponsored by the Calmar Library on September 24th. It reminded me that libraries are magi-cal and can take a person anywhere in life or the world, through books, and yes, even music. Barlow's repertoire included fa-vorite traditional pieces as well as his own compositions. He was also a very entertaining and unique sto-ryteller, intertwining stories with his music, such as the shamrock legend of St. Patrick of Ireland and stories of his own life. It seems appropriate that Jerry's 6-string acoustic guitar is a Lowden, crafted in Ireland, with some modifi-cations to it that he made. He played tunes like “Loch Lomond”, “Molly Malone” and “Waltzing Matilda”, as well as tunes he composed, such as one entitled, “Maiden of the Mesa”. Barlow brought them alive by shar-ing the history, humor and legends behind the songs. Included in the concert was the song, “Scarborough Fair”, made popular by singers Simon and Gar-funkel in the 1960's. Many recog-nize the song, but how many of us realize that “Scarborough Fair” is actually a traditional English ballad that had been rewritten many times by the end of the 18th century? Paul

STEPPINGBACK IN HISTORY:The Hinsenbrock Barn Tour
By Joyce Meyer
The Hinsenbrock barn on Norske Road by Deco-rah, as the road implies, is a Norwegian barn. The barn was recently on
the Iowa barn tour the last weekend of September. Owner, Vicky Hinsenbrock guided about 85 people through her restored barn, spring house and grounds that still have the original limestone hitching post be-low the house. This was one of the most popular barns in the northeast Iowa tour.
The farm with beautiful rolling meadows is where Vicky raises her horses. The homestead has been lov-ingly restored to its former glory after the farm was purchased in 1859 by Peder O. Bakke, a Norwegian im-migrant. Peder’s father, Ole Halsteinsen Bakke, never made it to America, he died on the ship from Norway. Peder (known as Peter in America) bought the land from his stepfather, Gota Erickson.
Vicky explained the important features our early settlers looked for when buying land were good soil to grow their crops and woodland for lumber to build their buildings. But the most important feature of the land was a supply of water. The farmer would look for a small stream that would provide water for his livestock. As many farmers used the same stream the cleanliness of the water declined. Spring water that was filtered through layers of rock and soil was the answer to getting clean water so the family could cook and drink and for the livestock.
Gota bought 71.88 acres in 1854 from the school commissioner for $1.24 aces. He sold this to Peder for $500 and took back a $300 mortage. Peder bought more land and became known as Peder Oleson and Peder Oleson Bakke. The small original home was already built by Gota in 1855. The barn was built by Peder and his wife shortly after the land purchase in 1878. The large, 40’ beams were probably cut in Wisconsin and floated down the river to them. The barn is made from hand-hewn timber and pegs, unusual double support rafters and still has the original dump rake in the ceiling. The rake was most likely a later addition.
SAVING A PIECE OF AMERICANA:
Linderbaum-Palmer Barn By Joyce Meyer
Saving a piece of Americana, one his-torical treasured barn at a time. That is what you will find at the Iowa Barn
Foundation’s All-State Barn Tour that was held September 26 and 27. Many barns that were on tour were built in the 1800s by farm-ers or barn builders and now have been re-stored with matching grants from the Iowa Barn Foundation. Other property owners received awards of distinction from the foundation for restorations they undertook themselves, like the Jim Boeding Stone Milk house by Decorah.
Of the barn tours in Winneshiek County, the barn owned by Jim Palmer Sr. and wife Alice was one of the highest attended dur-ing the tour with over 90 people. Driving into their driveway at 1206 150th Street by Castalia, a rustic barn sign told us we were at the right place. Part of the Palmer’s vast col-lection of vintage Allis-Chalmers lined the driveway and Jim Sr. and Jim Jr. were already busy showing not only the barn but their col-lection to visitors. Daughter-in-law, Caite Palmer, was busy showing her chickens as they were fed. The annual barn tour is a fam-ily affair, as much later the rest of the fam-ily arrived, their daughter Laura Lewis with their two granddaughters Abi and Poppy.

New Deputy Added To The WC Sheriffʼs Department
Small town life isn’t immune to big city crime in today’s world, which was proved in Calmar back in May when Tyrone Wilson of Postville robbed the State Bank in Calmar.
Wilson entered the State Bank in Calmar at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, May 12, 2015 with intent to rob the bank. City, county, state and federal law enforce-ment was quick to respond to the in-cident and to start piecing together a profile on the suspect. He was found the following day in Rock Island, IL and was apprehended without inci-dent and taken back to Winneshiek County.
Last week, a judge sentenced Wil-son in federal court to seven years and three months with an additional three years of probation following his prison sentence.

Simon heard it in England, modified and recorded it with Art Garfun-kel, and the movie, “The Graduate” would not be the same without it. Jerry Barlow's recordings are heard regularly on National Public Radio stations; he has been featured in “Fingerstyle Guitar” magazine, and was profiled in the February 2011 issue of Celtic Connection. Barlow lives in Golden, Colo-rado, and has traveled extensively throughout the midwest and other parts of the country, performing his unique style of music in a variety of settings. His performances include Gates Auditorium for the University of Denver's Lamont School of Mu-sic and the Arvada Center for the Performing Arts. He is a favorite of High Plains Public Radio's Living Room Concert Series in Amarillo, Texas. His most recent CD is, “Twas the Night, songs of Christmas” . The 2011 CD “Fields and Fences” was one of five nominees for Instrumen-tal Album of the Year by the Inde-pendent Music Awards. The Indie
Acoustic Project, an international award that celebrates the best inde-pendent acoustic music selected the title song from Jerry's CD, “Bring Down the Storm” as one of the best songs of 2006. There was a lot of toe-tapping going on, and in the front row, some fairly young children were capti-vated by the music. Everyone in the audience sang along with some fa-miliar tunes. Interestingly enough, while audience included the VERY young, some older folks, and many in between, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. There was even someone in the audience celebrating her birthday by attending the perfor-mance! Following the music, there were opportunities to visit with Mr. Barlow and each other, while enjoy-ing great cookies, apple cider and fruit punch. The Calmar Public Li-brary provided some great free en-tertainment to the community, along with a valuable musical learning ex-perience as an added feature.

BARLOW from front page
The rake was used as loads of loose hay was backed into the barn and a grapple fork lifted the hay onto the platform of the rake and a series of ropes and pulleys moved the rake to the correct place to be dumped. The barn originally had stalls for horses and a milking area for dairy cows. The barn originally had a cu-pola but that was removed sometime between 1956-1978.
Above the barn on a hill sits the spring house that was built by Erick Ramsay, most likely built after the barn (1878), but before the house (1882-1883). The windmill north-west of the spring house fed water into the building to keep items cool. Another opening on the east side of the building, took the overf low to a tank to water the stock. After the new house was built in 1882-1883 the small original house was turned into a chicken coop.
Vicky explains during the tour that she is grateful for the family
history of the Bakke family that she received from Elsie Rosendahl of Decorah and could share with us. Elsie and her brother, Kenny Moen, spent many happy summers with their grandparents, John and Martha Bakke.
Peder and his wife Ingeborg had five children. In 1902 the farm was passed down to son, John Bakke. John and his wife, Martha had six children. Two died before they were 20, most likely from pneumonia. In 1945 the farm was sold to their two

unmarried children, Henry and Ide-lia Bakke. The farm stayed in the Bakke family until 1956 to Conrad and Gladys Olson. Conrad sold the farm in 1978 to Melvin and Nancy Macal. In August of 1993 Vicky Hinsenbrock purchased the acreage of about 27 acres and is lovingly re-storing the homestead to its former glory. Ray and Jan Blanchard also bought land from the Macals that same year. A few years later, Mi-chael Sersland bought the rest of the farm.
This is just one of the many barn histories on tour during the Iowa Barn Foundation’s All-Iowa Tour. Mark your calendars for the last weekend of September each year and step back in time to learn about our agriculture history.
There were also friendly pigs, cattle, sheep, and a baby calf for the kids to pet. Many made this a family day to travel and educate their fam-ily about Iowa’s farming history.
The barn doors opened each day at 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The impres-sive barn owned by the Palmer’s con-tinues to give the landscape the feel of days gone by, which is important to Jim Palmer Sr. He understands how important it is to continue to save as many historic barns as pos-sible. “It’s unbelievable how many barns are lost every year, changing our Iowa landscape,” explains the heritage farmer.
As Jim Sr. gives the tour he ex-plains about the barn to the crowd of people. He tells them that the large
barn was built in 1921 by Alice‘s grandfather, Charles Linderbaum Sr. It has divided haymow doors on tracks with drive-through for unloading hay. It also has another unique feature of side sliding hay loft doors.
As you enter the restored barn it feels like you stepped back in time with the gas lights still hang-ing on the wall near the door. On a table near the entrance is a display of antique tools found when restor-ing the post and beam barn. Jim found a puzzling object with a half circle pleated iron with a handle on it which read “fluter.” He found out that it was used to iron fluted pleats in the cuffs of ladies dresses.
The Linderbaum-Palmer barn is
also unique in that it has housed an Ayrshire herd since 1946 -there are very few Ayrshire herds left in the country.
Alice explains her history to the farm, “The barn was constructed by Charles Linderbaum, Sr., which is my grandfather, in 1921 using quar-ry rock hauled by teams of horses and wagons. Even the mortar was homemade to hold the slab of stone together. The wood also came from the farm. A portable sawmill was set up to saw the oak logs from the woods. Each man was given a new hammer. It took 200-300 men only one day to do the barn raising.”
A truly American farming his-tory story among many other stories told during the Iowa Barn Tour.

The barn originally had stalls for horses and a milking area for dairy cows. It also had a cupola but that was removed sometime between 1956-1978.
NEICAC is pleased to announce the establishment of an additional NEICAC Family Service Office in Allamakee County. The new office will be located in the Upper Explorer-land Regional Planning Commission building at 134 West Greene Street in Postville. Expectations are that the office will be “up and running” by mid-October.
NEICAC Director of Community Outreach & Development, David Boss, stated that it was probably past due that we established an office in Postville. With the number of fami-lies we work with in this part of the
NEICAC Partners With UpperExplorerland Regional Planning Commission
county and with three of our Head Start classrooms in Postville there is a real need for us to have an office here. Boss said that when he approached UERPC Executive Director, Rach-elle Howe, about office space that we couldn’t have gotten a better re-sponse. Howe was very happy to es-tablish the partnership with NEICAC. The two agencies serve many of the same families and have a history of collaborative work.
NEICAC, which celebrated its 50 year anniversary in July, pro-vides a variety of programs and ser-vices throughout their service area of: Allamakee, Bremer, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette, Howard and Win-neshiek counties. NEICAC’s focus is to address the causes and symptoms of poverty and help individuals and families attain self-sufficiency.
The Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission (UERPC), es-tablished in November 1972, is a re-gional organization serving 52 cities in northeast Iowa. UERPC provides support through regional coopera-tion and collaboration between local governments, nonprofits and commu-nity members. UERPC is an essential portal for planning and economic development expertise and provides resources to support housing, work-force development, business devel-opment, community planning, and transportation.

Learn How To Prevent Diabetes At
WMCʼSPre-Diabetes
ClassIf your blood glucose level is 100
or above, you may have pre-diabetes. However, there are simple, everyday steps you can take to drive those numbers back down into the nor-mal range. Angie Kerndt, RDN, LD, says, “Blood glucose levels in the high 90s or low 100s are your cue to make some healthy changes, which will help you prevent type 2 diabetes and all the health concerns that may follow it.”
Learn how to make healthy lifestyle changes at Winneshiek Medical Center’s pre-diabetes class on Wednesday, October 21 and Wednesday, October 28. The two-session class will be held in WMC’s lower level conference rooms from 5:15–6:45 p.m. each evening. The class costs $25 thanks to the gener-ous support from the Winneshiek Medical Center Foundation and the Calmar Corvette Club.
The pre-diabetes class is open to anyone interested in understanding and preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes. Kerndt and Jean Irvin, RN, BSN, will discuss the definition of pre-diabetes, risk factors, preven-tion of type 2 diabetes and carbohy-drate counting.
Kerndt says, “The pre-diabetes class at Winneshiek Medical Center provides information to help people make positive decisions for their health to reduce the possibility of diabetes.” Diabetes can lead to seri-ous long-term health problems such as cardiovascular disease and stroke; however, with education and healthy lifestyle choices, type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed.
Unfortunately, people with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes can live for years without realizing they have the disease. In fact, 86 million American adults have pre-diabetes (1 out of 3), which places them at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
People with a high risk for type 2 diabetes are those who are over-weight, sedentary, over the age of 45 and have a family history of dia-betes. African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are also at an increased risk, as are women who have had babies weighing more than nine pounds at birth.
Class size is limited; the registra-tion deadline is Monday, October 19. Call 563-387-3158 to register or for more information.
Nearly 700 Women Attend The NationalCouncil Of Catholic Women s̓ 95th Anniversary ConventionAttendees of the 2015 National
Council of Catholic Women’s annual convention in Orlando, Florida, were surprised by the guest appearance of Mickey Mouse and a special pre-sentation on the 95 years of NCCW history by Mary Matheus at the 95th birthday luncheon celebration. Held at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista from September 9-12, the NCCW convention is the annual gathering of women leaders from Catholic women’s organizations in parishes and dioceses throughout the United States.
“Celebrating 95 years of history and the program packed with train-ing, speakers and fun generated the excitement to draw this exceptional gathering of Catholic women to Or-lando,” said Sheila Hopkins, newly installed NCCW President and Co-Chair of the Convention.
The opening liturgy was cele-brated at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Uni-verse by NCCW Episcopal Liaison the Most Reverend James V.

Thomas Wenski, Archbishop of Miami, in-cluded the installation of the 2015-2017 officers of NCCW—President Sheila Hopkins, Tallahassee, FL; President Elect Maribeth Stew-art, West Haven, CT and Secretary Jean Kelly, Elm Grove, WI. Mary Matheus, from Longwood, Flori-da, was elected to a second term as Treasurer last year. An additional 48 priests, spiritual directors and friends of NCCW attended the lit-urgies including the Most Reverend David R. Choby, Bishop of Nash-ville, who concelebrated the Satur-day liturgy.
Keynote speakers included Dr. Carolyn Woo, President and CEO of Catholic Relief Services; Rich-ard Doerflinger, Associate Director of the Secretariat of Pro-Life Ac-tivities, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; Marybeth Hicks, Marketing Director for FAITH Catholic and Brandon Vogt, Content Director for Bishop Robert Barron’s Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. Training sessions were conducted by the three commissions—Spiritu-ality, Leadership and Service—and training for new council presidents
was offered by the Leadership Train-ing Development Team.
At the closing session of the convention, the new Iowa Province Director, Mary Ann Reuther from LeMars was installed. Attending the 2015 National Convention from the Decorah Deanery were:
Alma Meyer, ACCW President of the Dubuque Archdiocese of Catho-lic Women from Calmar, Mary Rausch, Fort Atkinson, Immediate Past Present and a member of the National Nominating Committee, Connie Kepros, Decorah Deanery President, of Cresco and Phyllis Ein-walter, committee person of Fort At-kinson.

Einck Hired As South Winn K-12 PrincipalStory and Photo
by Annette KrienerSouth Winn has a new face in the
halls this year – newly hired princi-pal Kris Einck. For as long as anyone can remember, South Winn has had a separate principal typically for K-8th grades and 9th-12th grades, but due to recent budget cuts, when both of those positions came open last year, the decision was made to rehire it as one position. Kris was hired as South Winn’s possibly first ever K-12 School Principal. And Kris is up to the challenge!
Kris grew up in Postville and graduated from high school in 1994. He then received his bachelor’s de-gree from Iowa State University in Agriculture Education and Studies. From there he earned his master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Winona State University and his Superintendency Certifi cate from the University of Northern Iowa.
After college, Kris worked at the Prairie du Chien School District in Prairie du Chien, WI for a year as the Technology Coordinator Assis-tant before leaving to begin teaching Agriculture at the Riverdale School District in Muscoda, WI for five years. During his time at Riverdale he coached football and softball as well as being the FFA Advisor. He then became the High School Princi-
pal at the Clayton Ridge School District in Guttenberg for eight years before being hired at South Winneshiek.
When asked what drew him to South Winn, Kris replied, “South Winn has a tremendous reputation as being an educa-tional leader with outstanding academics and extra-curricular activities. This is a wonderful career opportunity and I am very thankful to have it. South Winn is also closer to home for my family and I, which is very nice, and since my wife teaches at the Decorah School District, this opportunity was a natural fi t for my family.”
According to Kris, his favor-ite part of being in education is the interaction he gets to have with the students on a daily ba-sis and the ability to see them grow and develop into young adults. Also working with pro-fessionals that help educate and mold the future leaders of our country is very rewarding to him.
As South Winn’s K-12 principal, Kris’ goal is to not only continue the tradition of educational excellence at South Winneshiek, but to take it to greater heights.
Kris and his wife Dana have fi ve children - Dayton is a freshman at
Iowa State University, Nicholas is in 7th grade, William is in 5th grade, Elizabeth is a 1st grader and Easton is 3-years-old. His hobbies include spending time with his family, work-ing around their acreage, and sports including hunting and fi shing.
Welcome to South Winneshiek Kris!
Kris sits at his office in the Calmar High School. He tries to split his days as best he can between Calmar and the elementary/middle school in Ossian.

We had unexpected company this past week. I tried a couple of new recipes. The quiche and apple cin-namon bread made a great breakfast. Both were quick and easy to make. Feel free to use different kinds of cheese in the quiche. I used an on-ion fl avored cheese for one of the quiches. It was also very good. The following two recipes are from Taste of Home.
Ham ‘N’ Cheese Quiche1 pkg. (14.1 oz.)
refrigerated pie pastry2 C. diced fully cooked ham
2 C. (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese2 tsp. dried minced onion
4 eggs2 C. half-and-half cream
1/2 tsp. salt1/4 tsp. pepper
Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll pas-try sheets into two 9” pie plates; fl ute edges. Line un-pricked pastry shells with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove foil and weights; bake 3-5 minutes longer or until bot-tom is golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Divide ham, cheese and on-ion between shells. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper until blended. Pour into shells. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting.

In a large bowl, whisk the fi rst eight ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to fl our mixture; stir just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Let stand 15 minutes. Lightly grease a griddle or large non-stick skillet; heat over medium heat. Stir blueberries into batter. Pour the batter by 1/4 cup full onto griddle or skillet.

Neva Maye (Bjonerud) ViiseNeva Viise, 84, of Decorah, died Tuesday, September 29, at Vennehjem
in Decorah.Funeral services were held at 11 a.m., Saturday, October 3, at Calmar Lu-
theran Church, 200 East Street, Calmar, with Rev. Phillip Olson presiding. Burial was in the church cemetery. Visitation was held after 9 a.m., on Saturday morning at the church.
Neva was born on September 18, 1931, to parents Robert and Edna (Falnes) Bjonerud of rural Calmar. Neva was baptized on October 4, 1931 and confirmed on June 4, 1944 at Calmar Lutheran Church, at-tended Conover School, and gradu-ated from Calmar High School. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary and music education from Luther College in 1954. In 1957, as a teacher for Department of Defense schools, she was assigned to Pepperrell Air Force Base near St. John's, Newfoundland, where she met her future husband, First Lieu-tenant Michael G. Viise, a Lutheran chaplain in the US Air Force. They were married on June 21, 1958 at Calmar Lutheran Church. As a mili-tary spouse, Neva made a home for her husband and children in numer-ous places in the US and overseas until Michael retired from the Air Force in 1985 and they moved to Charlottesville, Virginia. After re-tirement, Neva remained as active as ever. She directed the choir and taught Vacation Bible School at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Charlottesville, and returned to school to ob-tain a doctorate in education from the University of Virginia in 1992. She accompanied her husband to Estonia on his mission to establish a modern military chaplaincy and lived there from 1995 to 1998. In Estonia, Neva taught English composition and speech at Tallinn Pedagogical University and Concordia International University Estonia and became a master teacher for the Open Estonia Foundation, a George Soros initiative providing train-ing and mentoring for teachers in Estonia. Meanwhile, Neva was an avid reader, a quilter, a prolific and meticulous seamstress, a wonderful cook, a caring member of her church, and a loving mother and grandmother. In the summer of 2014, she and her husband moved to Decorah, Iowa, to be closer to her hometown and the family farm.
Neva is survived by her husband, Michael Viise, and her four children, Lina Miller (Edwin) of Independence, Kansas; Diane Viise (Cynthia) of Elmhurst, Illinois; Michelle Viise of Somerville, Massachusetts; and John Viise (Laura) of Oak Park, Illinois. She is mourned by her 10 grandchildren: Kirsten and Anna Miller; Peter, Andrew, James, and Emily Mueller; and Gustav, Lars, Darrell, and Johann Viise. Sister: Ruth Bjonerud of Calmar. Her caring presence, intelligence, humor, and sense of adventure will be missed by all.
Neva is preceded in death by her parents and her brothers-in-law, Ants Viise and Jaan Viise.

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.

Willard Woodring and Richard Buchanan were found bound, gagged and shot to death in the kitchen of the Hawkeye Hotel, a well-known house of prostitution, in Keokuk on Sunday, Oct. 9, 1960. Police immediately launched a three-state search for a young couple who witnesses reported seeing leave the building shortly before the double slaying was reported. Witnesses de-scribed the man as about 25 years old with black hair and clad in a black leather jacket. The wom-an, about 22-23 years old, was described as having short red hair and wearing a laven-der dress. They were thought to be driving
a car with Illinois license plates.Police believe robbery was the motive for the
crime and that the killer may have been an ac-quaintance of Woodring. There were few signs of a struggle in the room where Woodring and Buchanan were shot and, according to investiga-tors, the murderers “seemed to know what they were doing.”
ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION regarding these unsolved murders, please contact the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at (515) 725-6010, email [email protected], or contact the Keokuk Police Department at (319) 524-3131.
Exploring Iowa’s unsolved murders
JOHN SPEERToledo-Tama NewsHalloween day, Oct. 31, 1973, was typical of many in
late fall in Iowa — cold, overcast and threatening rain. But it also included the discovery of the body of Hel-
en Mae Bown, 61, of Marshalltown, on the bank of the Iowa River northwest of Montour in Tama County. Her body was found that day by Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agents. Bown, a widow, had been reported missing to Marshalltown Police on Oct. 7.
The cause of Bown’s death was listed as drowning but the circumstances never revealed.
Those on the scene of the discovery in 1973 included Tama and Marshall county sheriff’s of cers, Marshall-town police, agents of the then-named Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Tama County Medical Examiner Dr. C.W. Maplethorpe, as was Tama County Attorney Jared Bauch.
Bauch said recently in an email response for this arti-cle: “I remember the case and the scene. Ms. Bown had been in the water several days. As I recall there was an idea that she had been drinking quite a bit at the time she disappeared and her companions were rough customers. The DCI was on the case from the outset. I think we con-cluded she got in the Iowa River near Marshalltown and that it was likely a Marshall County case.
“Her appearance in Tama County was probably due to the vagaries of the Iowa River currents. We had nothing to tie her to a Tama County location at the time of her death. We did consider hers to be a suspicious death.”
And it was suspicious to Marshall County authorities. Then-Marshall County Attorney Ron Kaiser convened a grand jury on Nov. 7, 1973, according to a news report in the Marshalltown Times-Republican. He told the T-R the reason for impaneling the grand jury “was to present evidence that has been uncovered.”
However, no indictment was handed down and the newspaper report said Kaiser “would not comment” on whether he thought “foul play may have taken place or the nature of the evidence.”
The state medical examiner had ruled the death due to “probable drowning.”
Over the years no one was ever arrest-ed nor the case of her death ever of cially closed.
Recently, current Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper reviewed the Bown case le which he termed “interesting to read.
“I believe it is one of those cases which could be resolved with a piece of informa-tion here and a piece of information there,” he said.
Some details of the investigation are not public because the case does remain techni-cally active, Tupper said, admitting “I asked around some of long-tenured police depart-ment employees and they were completely unfamiliar (with it.)”
Tupper lled in some details not initially reported, however.
Bown was reported missing by a visiting county health nurse who apparently had been caring for Bown at the time. County health nurses then and now often call upon patients who are in their own homes.
In response to rumors which reportedly circulated in Marshalltown taverns at the time, Tupper said, “From
some of the details it does look like of cers did inves-tigate multiple possibilities and did review comments people made.”
He said he was uncertain why the then-termed Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation (now Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation) was called into the case. But he said protocol then may have been similar to today: “What we would now do.”
Current Marshall County Attorney Jennifer Miller re-plied to an information request: “My of ce doesn’t have any records or information on this case ... so sorry!” Hel-en Bown’s obituary in the Nov. 7, 1973 T-R said her hus-band, William, had died in 1972. The couple had always lived in Marshalltown.
Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera and Deputy Bruce Rhoads both said they have no direct knowledge of the case as neither were serving with the sheriff’s of- ce then.
A native of Red Cloud, Neb., Bown had married her second husband, William, in 1964. She had previously married Orville Berger in 1926 when she was 14 years old. They had two sons.
Bown was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Marshall-town.
The website - iowacoldcases.org - includes this infor-mation about the case:
In a Des Moines Register article dated Nov. 2, 1973, one of cial not directly connected with the case said the manner in which the investigation was being handled would lead one to believe “the Watergate tapes or the atomic bomb secrets” were involved.
Additionally, the paper also reported that “no one in an of cial capacity would say why the search for the wom-an was concentrated in the area northeast of Le Grand.”
The Bown case was the second time in which a Mar-shalltown woman’s body would be discovered in Tama County. Earlier that year, the body of Rochelle Lass, Marshalltown, was found on a rural Tama County road north of Montour on Feb. 22, 1973.
That case was solved with the arrest and subsequent conviction of her husband, Dennis Lass, for rst-degree
murder.Lass, who had been employed as an insurance adjust-
er, died in prison in April of 2014 at age 73, while serving a life term.
The couple had lived in Toledo for a period of time before moving to Marshalltown.

Winneshiek Medical Center Hos-pice is now offering a Newly Be-reaved Support Group.
The group meets the second Wednesday of each month for those who have lost someone within the last three months or less. The next session is on Wednesday, October 14 in conference room B1 at WMC. Registration is not necessary; these free sessions start at 2:30 p.m.
“The Newly Bereaved Support Group will touch on basic coping

skills, self-care, what to expect, what is normal, and reassurance that everything can be okay,” says Li-censed Master Social Worker Karen Nielsen.
The grief support group is safe and confidential. Participants have the opportunity to connect with oth-ers by being able to share their expe-rience with loss, and to express their feelings, reactions and thoughts with others who truly understand what they are going through.
“The needs of the newly bereaved are different from those who have been grieving longer. These sessions are designed to provide a framework for the grief path,” says Nielsen.
Contact Karen Nielsen, LMSW, at 563-387-3024 for questions re-garding the Newly Bereaved Sup-port Group.
Food Aggregation/StorageIs Second Phase In Spectrum Plan The Spectrum Network (TSN) has been helping individuals with cognitive disabilities, mental illness and other barriers to independent living enter the workforce and the community through various means since 1974. The purpose is to help create independence for those indi-viduals served by Spectrum. Due to projected changes coming in 2019, Spectrum realizes the need to become more self-sufficient and sustainable. To that end they have developed and are implementing a three-phase plan to accomplish that goal so they can continue to support the needs of individuals indefinitely. Phase II is a food aggregation/storage facility. The new venture will tie in with the locally grown initiative as it provides producers a location to assist with cleaning, packaging and storing foods. End users can have the food cut or sliced as per their request and stored until needed. This will allow end users to have more access to locally grown items year round as well as provide more community jobs. The facility will be located at 607 Washington St., Decorah in the main office building. This space is cur-rently being used as a training and skills development center. But part of the changes proposed by the state to be implemented by March 2019 will require that they do their train-ing within the community. When that happens, enough space will be
vacated and available for use as the new Food Aggregation/Storage fa-cility. In 2014, Spectrum received $100,000 through RBEG (Rural Business Enterprise Grant from the USDA) to assist with development of a local food processing, aggregation and cold storage facility. A match of $110,000 is required and the grant will not be officially received un-til the work is done and the money spent. Donating to the capital cam-paign will help make this a reality.Our Vision: That every person can live in a home that they like, make friendships that are important to them, work at a meaningful job, and live as a good citizen of their community. For more information or to donate go to www.thespectrumnetwork.org You may visit the main office at 607 Washington St. Decorah, or call 563-382-8401. You may also stop at thrift store locations in Decorah or Cresco.

He was active in his adopted church and served in different capaci-ties on several different boards. He worked and lived for his family and was proud of all of them. He was always a man of strong faith and integrity. He had great values and always said that his word was his bond and he expected no less from his children.

Collectively, South Winn marked up 242 rushing yards with a total of three TDs while recording just four receiving yards on one TD to tally 24 points in three quarters.
Defensively, they kept Jesup out of their end zone for three straight sets allowing the J-Hawks to score twice in the fourth quarter. The War-riors recorded 47 total tackles with 16 tackles for loss. Meyer and fellow senior Mitch Herold led the defen-sive attack with 8 and 7 tackles re-spectively.
“Our defense played another solid game holding Jesup’s running game to -1 yard on 25 carries,” compli-mented Head Coach Jason Ohrt. “We were also able to put a lot of pressure on the quarterback with our defen-sive line. We had a total of 7 quarter-back sacks.”
SW moved the ball 246 yards
total with Lensing scoring fi rst on a 3-yard carry in the second followed by Meyer running a 1-yard TD in
before the half. Meyer scored the only points in the third with a 30-yard run to push the Warriors up 18-
0. Jesup fi nally got on the board in the fourth on a 3-yard pass play but a 4-yard pass from Herold to Lensing put SW back into an 18-point lead. The J-Hawks were able to complete another TD and PAT with less than a minute on the score board leaving SW in the lead 24-13 at the end.
“We didn’t play a clean game of-fensively, but we made enough plays to win the game. We got a lot of young guys fi lling in at key positions and I feel like we can count on them to continue to improve,” Ohrt said. “Ben Meyer stepped up and played a big game on offense, defense and special teams. It is nice to see your seniors willing and able to take on larger roles when needed.”
The Warriors host their last home game of the regular season against Dike-New Hartford (6-0) this Friday night in what will probably be their biggest challenge of the season and could possibly be the deciding fac-tor on 1st and 2nd place in the dis-trict. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. in Calmar.
Turkey Valley host-ed the 5-0 Central War-riors last Friday night and kept pace through the first half but Cen-tral came back from the break with double the power and an almost fl awless passing game.
“The score looks like we were never in the game, however Turkey Valley was ahead with 5 seconds to go in the fi rst half,” noted Head Coach Mark Scott. “A big play right before half gave Central the ball on the 4-yard line, then a reverse allowed them to score to take the lead at half.”
With no points post-ed in the first quarter, the Trojans were doing a great job of standing up to the #2 ranked 8-man team. Cody Hackman put the fi rst points of the game on the board on a 4-yard run then followed up with a 2pt conversion to post eight points for TV. The War-
riors answered with their own 4-yard rush but TV stopped their extra point attempt to stay in the lead 8-6. TV scored once more in the 2nd on a 1-yard carry by Hackman and a completed 2pt rush by Wyatt Blazek to lead 14-6. Central found the end zone two more times before the fi rst half
was fi nished to lead 16-20 at the break.“The third quarter we made mistakes and
Central made plays to put the game out of reach,” added Scott. “Two turnovers in the third quarter allowed Central to have the ball in good fi eld position and took away our chances to score.”TV continued to play hard as the Warriors kept connecting on long passes for TDs and managed to put six points on the board on a completed play from Hackman to Wyatt Blazek but Central was the last to score in the third totaling 34 points for the quarter to lead 54-22 with just one quarter left. Will Einwalter and Braeden Baumler both carried for TDs in the last frame but the Warriors scored two as well to end the game 34-66.
“This week we travel to Midland of Wyoming to play for the district runner up spot,” Scott ended.

Warriors Take Gold @ Cresco MeetThe South Winneshiek cross
country teams competed at Cresco last Saturday morning and took the top spot as a team in both the boys and the girls races.
“Overall, this was our best meet of the season. We had 34 season/lifetime bests between JH and HS,” noted Coach Kevin Kearney. “Cres-co has a challenging course, so it was great to see our kids compete so well.”
Girls-The Lady Warriors not only
placed first as a team, but they took the top three spots individually with Shelby Reicks, Felicity Taylor and Josie Kriener finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd
respectively out of 78 total competi-tors. Reicks finished at 20:08, Tay-lor clocked in at 20:15 and Kriener crossed the line at 20:18.
“On the girls side, Shelby Reicks was back in our lineup after not quite being 100% a week or two ago. She ran very well to capture the overall title,” Kearney added. “Felicity and Josie continued to be right with her and the three of them make a tre-mendous group on the front end for us.”
The other four top runners in-cluded Jenna Knutson, RaeAnn Klimesh, Sadie Nymeyer and Olivia Massman who finished 8th, 9th, 10th
and 11th respectively. Knutson had a time of 21:43, Klimesh was at 21:45, Nymeyer crossed at 21:55 and Mass-
man recorded a time of 22:02.Also running for the Ladies were
Sami Bohr, 14th- 22:14; Tiana Bull-erman, 20th- 23:36; Ashley Kriener, 26th- 24:02; Melissa Ward, 27th- 24:03; Kenzi Jones, 38th- 24:55; Mor-gan Martin, 40th- 24:57; Mary Con-way, 44th- 25:14; Alexa Jacobsen, 55th- 27:05; Elli Winter, 56th- 27:06; Angelia Hakim, 59th- 27:27; Sloan Huinker, 63rd- 28:12 and Nicole Pa-nos, 66th- 29:01.
“Even more exciting was how well our 4-8 runners did. We contin-ue to run a tighter and tighter pack,” Kearney said. “We need to continue to bring that pack further up, but we are fortunate to have the kind of depth our team has.”
Girls team standings were 1. South Winn, 23; 2. Crestwood, 49; 3. Waukon, 100; 4. Sumner-Freder-icksburg, 103; 5. New Hampton, 104.
Boys-In the boys race, South Winn
took 1st place as a team by just three points out of six full teams.
“On the boys side, we ran excep-tionally well,” Kearney noted. “Our boys have been somewhat inconsis-tent, which is to be expected with such a young team. We did a great job of running aggressive races at Cresco.”
The top seven runners for SW competed in a field of 74 athletes with 4th place as their highest indi-vidual finish. Derek Dietzenbach
marked a time of 17:43 for 4th place; Jordon Snyder was 9th at 18:14; Eric Franzen marked a time of 18:42 for 11th; Dylan Bruess was 15th at 18:59; Paxten DeVilbiss placed 17th with a time of 19:05, Paul Hageman fin-ished at 19:13 for 18th place and Aus-tin Tieskoetter was 19th at 19:19.
“Our guys challenged them-selves and raced against runners they had not raced against in previ-ous meets. As a result we were able to claim a narrow victory over very good Waukon and Cresco teams,” Kearney continued. “Dylan Bruess and Paxten DeVilbiss made some big jumps for us to tighten up our pack. The boys displayed some good overall depth as well, which is what allowed us to edge out our competi-tion.”
Also running for SW were Jacob Michels, 29th- 19:56; Josh Lensing, 55th- 23:08; James Schmitt, 62nd- 23:48 and Dawson Huinker, 67th- 25:24.
Final team standings were 1. South Winn, 56; 2. Waukon, 59; 3. Crestwood, 60; 4. New Hampton, 70; 5. Sumner-Fredericksburg, 145; 6. Schaeffer Academy, 152.
“On both sides, we need to con-tinue to improve as we head closer to the end of the season. We will face some exceptional teams at the dis-trict level in a couple weeks,” ended Kearney.
Josie Kriener (l), Felicity Taylor (c) and Shelby Reicks led the race last Saturday at Cresco with 75 runners trying to catch up to them. Reicks took 1st place, Taylor was 2nd and Kriener came in 3rd.
