On the Farm• Land Trust Sees Major Donation

By Michael HohenbrinkEditor

A Calmar family’s donation will more than double the number of protected acres managed by an area land trust.

Land farmed for generations in the same family will add 170 acres to protected land in the care of the Sustainable Iowa Land Trust (SILT) with the gift of the property of Lyle and Sue Luzum.

The land at 2264 200th Street is intended for sustainable food production.

“It’s really pretty amazing,” said SILT President Suzan Erem. “It’s astonishing.”

The land trust is unique in Iowa in that it seeks to protect farmland specifically as farm-land.

SILT had previously managed 115 acres spread over three farms acquired by the group over the past two years.

“This is the first time in Iowa’s history that a family has commit-ted such a large tract to perma-nent sustainable food produc-tion,” said Erem. “The Luzum family has provided an incredible gift to future food farmers, food lovers and our natural environ-ment.”

Included with the donation are the family home and outbuildings as well as CRP contracts.

Calmar Council Approves FD Property Acquisition• Building Purchase Will Allow Parking, Possible Expansion

The Calmar Fire Department will move forward with the pur-chase of a building across the street from its current station.

Calmar City Council gave its approval to the purchase during its May 1 meeting after the fire department expressed interest in purchasing a building for sale at 101 S. Charles St.

To help to pay for the build-ing purchase, a property already owned at 103 S. Charles is to be sold. A minimum bid of $35,000 is being sought for the property to be sold.

With the 101 S. Charles

St. site, the fire department is looking at both parking and the possibility of expansion down the road should the need arise, Calmar Fire Chief Aaron Brincks said after the meeting.

Parking at the fire station has been limited, a difficulty for firefighters.

In addition, the current fire station site could not be expand-ed, Brincks noted.

By contrast, the new property would allow for expansion and is convenient to the existing main station.

Additional usage for the new property could include storage.

The cause of a house fire that struck a Calmar residence May 3 is still unknown.

“It’s still under investiga-tion,” said Fire Chief Aaron Brincks.

The Calmar Fire Department was paged for the fire at 305 W. South at 4:39 a.m. and was back in service at 7:16 a.m., Brincks said. The home is located close to South Winneshiek High School.

Quick action contained the fire to only a portion of the home.

“We contained it probably to two stud widths so there’s min-imal damage that way but water and smoke,” said Brincks.

The homeowner was not in the residence at the time the blaze broke out, said Brincks.

• Nearly $500K in Awards Since Starting

As the South Winneshiek Dollars for Scholars program zeroes in on the half-million dollar mark for awards, mem-bers of the graduating Class of 2017 were honored for their ac-complishments.

During the May 3 ceremony, graduating seniors were lauded for their accomplishments as community members and of-ficers for Dollars for Scholars noted this year’s award winners.

The event saw nearly $40,000 awarded in scholar-

ships for graduating South Winneshiek seniors.

The highest individual awards for the night, two $5,000 scholarships, went to this year’s C. Clair Cornell Memorial Scholarships winners: Sawyer Breitsprecher and Josie Kriener. Former Ossian resident Clair Cornell established the award in a trust upon his death in 2002 to recipients of good character who show ambition, responsi-bility and academic excellence.

Two members of the class, Trey Courtney and Blain Len-non, were recognized for going into military service, drawing a standing ovation from the crowd.

PURSUIT to page 5

• SW, TV Students See IHSMA Competition

Students from South Winneshiek and Turkey Valley had their moments in the spotlight as they took part in Iowa High School Music Association compe-tition over the weekend.

South Winneshiek students saw their best performance ever, said teacher Na-than Miller.

“We ended up getting a Division II rating, but only because we were docked 2 points for being 18 seconds short of the minimum time,” said Miller. “Without the docked points for time, we received a 37, 36, and 36 from the three judges (out of 40), which is straight Division I rat-

ings.” The performance of South Winne-

shiek students marked a significant ac-complishment.

“These are actually the highest scores we’ve ever received as the band played [very] well on Saturday,” said Miller. “Unfortunately, the time deduc-tion caused us to not receive the rating

we deserved this year.”

Turkey Valley’s Ethan Adams was likewise pleased with how Turkey Val-ley students performed.

“The band and choir both performed well and got Division II ratings,” said Adams.

“Mr. Miller works extremely hard to recruit students to the band program and then to retain them through high school,” said South Winneshiek Super-intendent Kris Einck. “As a result we are seeing good numbers in the lower grades and are having success because of it. It should also be noted we have talented students that make this happen with support from dedicated parents! I want to congratulate the entire music program at South Winn!”
