SOUTH WINN GIRLS SEE TOUGH WEEK SPORTS: Page 8

Tuesday, December 6, 2016

TV Girls Ranked High By Michael Hohenbrink Editor Turkey Valley girls are near the top of the rankings. The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union basketball rankings have the Lady Trojans in second place for Class 1A for the state. The only team ahead of Turkey Valley is Springville, author of last year’s heartbreak in the state championship game. Springville defeated Turkey Valley by a single point in the championship game. With Turkey Valley’s season opener Nov. 29, the Lady Trojans began play this year with a 50-point win over West Central on the road, an auspicious start for the new season. Turkey Valley girls continued their victorious run after opening the season at West Central with wins against Central (57-38) and Decorah (49-19). Also in the top five this time around are Exira/Elk Horn-Kimballton in third, Kee in fourth and Grand View Christian in fifth. As of Monday, Grand View Christian had seen its first loss of the season while the rest of the top five teams remained unbeaten. Marquette Catholic, Colo-Nesco, Newell-Fonda, Glidden-Ralston and AGWSR make up the rest of the top ten. Turkey Valley girls are scheduled to see their next action Tuesday as they host Starmont at home. Editor’s Note: See coverage of Turkey Valley girls and other area teams on Page 8 of this issue.

From Calmar’s firefighters dishing up hot chicken noodle soup to carriage rides and from the Frosty Sleigh Shuttle to visits with Saint Nick, visitors had a chance to check out some of the best Calmar has to offer. Check out more photos from Christmas in Calmar on page 7 of this issue.

By Michael Hohenbrink Editor The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office has found itself busy responding to a spate of accidents involving livestock. Over the course of the last six weeks, multiple accidents have been reported involving livestock. In most of the Fayette County cases, these have involved cows. During the last week alone, two more cases involving cows were reported. In the first, the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office took a report Nov. 28 at 7:55 p.m. about a vehicle hitting a cow on 210th Street, west of Hawkeye. According to the sheriff’s office, Meranda May Larson, 24, of Hawkeye, was operating a 2001 Ford Focus westbound on 210th Street when she struck a cow. The crash resulted in $5,000 in damage to the vehicle, although Larson and two passengers were not injured. A day later, a Waucoma man was not injured when his semi sustained $6,500 in damage after hitting a cow on Highway 3. The sheriff’s office was called to the 4000 block of Highway 3 Nov.

Gundersen Makes Second MedLink AIR Helicopter Permanent MedLink AIR, Gundersen Health System’s emergency and critical care air transport service, will permanently add a second helicopter. The Gundersen Board of Trustees has approved the purchase of a second helicopter. Gundersen has been leasing a second helicopter since June on a trial basis. Stephanie Hill, program director

for MedLink AIR, said Gundersen will continue to lease until the new helicopter is purchased and ready for service and additional crew members are hired and trained. When the new, second helicopter and crews are ready by the end of 2017, the two helicopters will be permanently based outside La Crosse, Wis. with one at the Decorah Airport

and one at the Sparta-Fort McCoy Airport. Hill said both helicopters will be in service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Until the purchase is complete and staff is hired and trained, Gundersen will continue with the same two-helicopter coverage that was used during the trial period.

Indulge That Sweet Tooth Christmas is the time when many of us indulge in sweet treats. We all have traditional favorites. Consider adding some new favorites also. No-Bake Oreo Truffles From Candace Braun Davison • 1 package Oreos (mint or peanut butter Oreos) • 1 bag of semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces) • 1 package of cream cheese, softened • 1-2 teaspoons canola oil First, stick a sleeve of Oreos in a gallon-size re-sealable bag and use the back of a spoon to smash them up as small as possible so your truffles aren’t lumpy. Finish with the rest of the Oreos. You could also use a food processor. Mix in the cream cheese* and then roll them all into quarter-sized balls. Stick the dough balls in the refrigerator to harden for at least 20 minutes. Once your time is almost up, pour the chocolate chips into a bowl, along with the canola oil and microwave in 25-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted. If the chocolate seems really thick and gloopy, stir in a little more oil. It should be about as thick as cake batter. Cover up that naked truffle in a cloak of chocolate and stick it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you want to get fancy, decorate the top with a little melted white chocolate, crumbled Ande’s mints or a mix of melted white chocolate and peanut butter (use about two parts peanut butter to one part white chocolate chips). Put them in the fridge for another 20 minutes or until the chocolate is hard. *Note for the Peanut Butter Batch: For even more peanuty flavor, you could also replace half of the cream cheese with 1/2 cup of peanut butter.

Pizza And The Rabbit Hole For about a month now, since just before Election Day, the seedier corners of the Internet have been obsessing over “Pizzagate,” a conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton running a child trafficking ring out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria. The political conspiracy combined with the absurdity made for a catnip-like combination for the Internet trolls that frequent places like Reddit’s /r/ The_Donald, who went so far to create a spin-off message board dedicated to the topic. Taking a life of its own, the conspiracy theory has created its own mythology, tying the pizzeria from the Clinton Foundation to Satanism to Brazilian football. Did a Hollywood celeb talk about pizza? Must be part of the conspiracy. Did a politician have their photo taken with a child? Must be part of the conspiracy. Why hasn’t the Washington Post covered it? Must be part of the conspiracy. And what does Janet Reno have to do with all of this anyway? Must be part of the conspiracy. For the last month there have been bombastic YouTube videos and “news” articles, each eager to share the big revelation that will “blow the whole thing wide open.” And if it doesn’t happen, well then at least they got a big spike on their traffic for that day. It’s hard to say how many people actually believe in the Pizzagate conspiracy. A couple weeks back I had a conversation with a Trump supporter that admitted he only frequents places like /r/The_Donald because it’s fun to participate in its silliness. While I’m sure some people actually believe in the conspiracy theory, I suspect most people are treating it like a game. I understand the appeal. Conspiracy theories are fun. Heck, I’ve spent the last couple months following a series of YouTube videos predicting a reboot of the Pokemon franchise, linking the designs of new characters to medieval alchemy, Norse mythology and the Book of Revelation. It’s not a complicated formula. Find one connection that seems plausible, then extrapolate 10 more connections out of it. It can be fun to take a trip down the rabbit hole. But that’s a silly theory about a video game. This is a real life business run by real life people who have had their real life turned upside down

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer by Internet trolls looking for cheap laughs. All of which came to a head this weekend when a North Carolina man decided to do some “self-investigation” of the pizzeria. With a gun. Thankfully, nobody was hurt during the incident. A shot was apparently fired, but the man was otherwise arrested peacefully. But it could have gone differently. It’s hard to decide who is more culpable in this situation. The people who don’t know better and actually believe in the conspiracy nonsense, or the people that do know better and perpetuate it anyway. This behavior isn’t limited to just Internet trolls. This is the post-fact world that we live in. A world where social media has enabled us to create a personalized bubble of reality where anything that reaffirms your pre-established beliefs must be true, and anything that challenges them is just part of the “lamestream media.” Everybody does this to some degree, myself included. It takes a conscious effort to challenge your perception. Not everybody has the time, energy or inclination to do so. We all know that person on our social media that posts crazy stories about vapor trails in the sky, or the Department of Homeland Security buying up all the ammo in the country or how global warming is a hoax. That person that posts whatever has a catchy headline without caring about whether or not what they’re posting is true. You know. The kind of person we just elected to be president. This is the inevitable result. One might think it’s harmless to share a silly story, but somebody else might actually believe it. For better or worse, the internet has turned us all into the media. Facebook is the largest distributor of news in the nation. That effectively means everybody is now the editor of their own news aggregate. It’s a power that should not be taken lightly. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and tries to keep his crazy theories on video games and movies.

Close to Home By Michael Hohenbrink Editor

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year The strains of music filtered in over the general noise. From my desk, I can hear “Silent Night” as I type this. Christmas doth approach. I’ll admit I’m a soft touch when it comes to Christmas music. It’s one of the few times a year I might find myself singing along to music on the street. At home in the evenings, I’ve discovered a channel devoted to “Traditional Holiday,” and I’m finding myself in the evenings having it on

while I rest from the day. The Glenn Miller Orchestra and Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong and Bobby Vinton, what’s not to like? Throw in “Veni, Veni Emmanuel” and “Adeste Fideles,” and you’ve got enough melodies that even the most curmudgeonly among us might break out in song. Indeed, the stockings are hung here in the office, and a little tree is up in the window, looking for all the world like the little tree in the Charlie Brown Christmas special.

Though speaking of stockings, that’s a reminder we still need to get our own stockings hung. One of the traditions to which we’ve introduced the boys is St. Nick’s Day on Dec. 6. Speaking with someone recently, she mentioned in her family it had been a branch out on the porch for St. Nick’s in her own family, but it reminded me of my own family’s traditions. As this issue comes out, stockings might already be up for some of you. For some readers, snow might even be on the ground, depending on how conditions are and how far north one is. Even if snow isn’t on the ground, and this mild weather so far is certainly not something I mind terribly, it’s still easy to sense Christmas getting closer. That’s not a bad thing. Given how early the sun sets now, it’s a relief to have something to look forward to just a few weeks out. So, if you catch me humming at my desk, there’s a logical explanation possible. If you’re lucky, you might even find me smiling, maybe on a Monday on deadline no less. And if I’m doing so even before I’ve had my coffee for the day, it might well be because of the season.

Eight Ways Trump Can Make Health Care Great Again By Peter J. Pitts Guest Columnist President-elect Donald Trump has promised to transform American health care. Here are eight policies he should consider that could make health care great again: 1. Eliminate the Independent Payment Advisory Board. Created by the Affordable Care Act, this board was designed to bring Medicare costs down. But its powers are terrifying -- with hardly any accountability, IPAB can reduce access to treatments and drastically alter Medicare payments for hospitals, doctors and other providers. 2. Redesign State Exchange Subsidies. Experts want the number of young adults in the exchanges to grow to 40 percent to stabilize costs. Trump could accomplish this goal by revamping state exchange subsidies in a way that provides younger adults with the incentives they need to sign up. 3. Offer Insurance Policies Across State Lines. This action would inject more competition into the health insurance

market, forcing insurers to cut costs and offer better care options. 4. Expedite the Approval of New Drugs. Trump could accomplish this goal by implementing the FDA’s Real World Evidence program within his first two years of office. The program uses real-world data as scientific evidence for regulatory decisions, which helps to speed up drug approvals. 5. Create an “Innovation Czar.” A position in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, this “czar” would ensure that federal health agencies develop new research models and public health initiatives. This official could also help ensure new and existing regulations foster -- rather than impede -- America’s innovation ecosystem. 6. Permit the Sharing of Off-Label Information. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration bars pharmaceutical companies from sharing information about how their drugs can be used to treat conditions for which they aren’t explicitly approved. That ban needs to end. Doctors already prescribe drugs off-label all the time. 7. Prevent Fraud and Abuse.

Our health care system is characterized by inefficiencies, fraud and abuse. Trump can identify available savings in the system -- and make sure those savings are passed on to patients. 8. Empower Americans to Get Healthy. Trump should initiate a creative campaign that inspires Americans to eat better and exercise more. Right now, more than two-thirds of adults are considered overweight or obese. Obesity-related diseases drain our nation of $190 billion every year. But by encouraging Americans to take responsibility for their health, Trump could help to decrease the rate of obesity and save our nation health care dollars. Trump’s first 100 days in office will set the tone for making America healthy again. By following these eight prescriptions, Trump can help make sure patients are front and center -- and kick Uncle Sam out of the doctor’s office. Peter J. Pitts, a former FDA associate commissioner, is president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.

COLTON GOZA

Student of the Week

School Calendars

An annual tradition returned at Economy Ag with candy farm equipment.

Senior Colton Goza, the son of Ann Shindelar and Terry Goza, is this week’s Warrior of the Week. He was nominated by Kurt Straube. “Colton is able to attain the seemingly daunting obstacle so many high schoolers face of both maintaining academic achievement and being able to come to GOZA GOZA class focused, well-prepared, and ready to engage in whatever the task happens to be,” said Straube. “I appreciate his sense of humor as well as the maturity I’ve seen from him not only this year, but in the years I’ve known him.” Goza has one younger brother, Landon, who is a junior. Goza enjoys trapshooting, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting and spending time with friends and family. He currently works at Norby’s Farm Fleet in Decorah. After high school, his plans are to attend UNI for accounting and then become a CPA and work at an accounting firm and hopefully one day own his own business.

South Winn Girls See Tough Week By Michael Hohenbrink Editor

age was done. During Friday’s hosting of MFL MarMac, the Lady Warriors were able to keep pace more readily but still saw themselves outscored with the Lady Bulldogs boasting a lead of 27-22 by the half. South Winneshiek was scheduled to travel to North Fayette Valley Tuesday night to face the TigerHawks.

The Lady Warriors faced stiff competition during their first week of play. South Winneshiek girls traveled to Crestwood Dec. 1 for a 24-66 loss and then hosted MFL MarMac Dec. 2 for a 38-54 defeat. Crestwood presented a tough battle right away, with 21 points in the first quarter. The Lady Warriors answered with only six points of their own. A lopsided second quarter saw 19 points for Crestwood with only two points for South Winneshiek. In the third quarter, Crestwood managed 17 points to only four points for the Lady Warriors. During the game’s final quarter, South Winneshiek managed to outscore Crestwood 12-9, but the dam-

Turkey Valley girls are wasting no time this season in getting their name out as a force with which to reckon. A 50-point win in their season opener saw West Central go down in defeat against a formidable opponent in the form of the Lady Trojans. Turkey Valley Coach Dan Stepan called it a “good effort for the first night out” as he looked back on the successful beginning of a new season. Still, while Turkey Valley was victorious, coaching staff and players won’t be resting on their laurels. “We have a lot to work on as the season goes on,” said Stepan. “We got a lot of shots up which is one of our goals.” Leading the Lady Trojans in scoring, senior Sadie Nymeyer had 31 points for the night, single-handedly

Warriors Struggle With First Week By Michael Hohenbrink Editor South Winneshiek boys saw a pair of losses to get the season underway. Up first was a loss to Crestwood Dec. 1, 28-61. The Warriors were competitive for the first quarter with the game tied at 11, but the second quarter went against South Winneshiek, leaving the Warriors down 16-29 at the half. A powerful performance by Crestwood in the third quarter saw the lead widen against the Warriors to 21-39.

The Warriors managed just seven points in the final quarter to leave the final score at 28-61. The following night, the Warriors hosted MFL MarMac for a loss 34-65. Going scoreless in the first quarter, the Warriors watched as the Bulldogs scored 17 unanswered points. A 22-point run by the Warriors in the second quarter was answered with 20 points by the Bulldogs, and MFL MarMac pulled ahead in scoring in the second half. The Warriors are scheduled to play Tuesday at North Fayette Valley.
