Earns High

Ranking

In April, Turkey Valley Pre-

school from Jackson Junction

stamped its child care business

with a level 5 on the Quality

Rating System (QRS). Turkey

Valley Preschool has been in

operation since 2003 and has

been improving its quality

while progressing through QRS

levels.In order for Turkey Valley

Preschool to continue moving

up QRS levels, it h

ad to better

its child care business.

QRS

levels are rated on a risi

ng scale

of one to five sta

rs. Each sta

r

is achieved by providers im-

proving in the following areas:

health and safety, environment,

professional development, fa

m-

ily and community partnerships

and leadership and administra-

tion. By taking part in QRS,

providers show the community

and families how dedicated they

are to providing quality child

care.Michelle

Tlusty, Lead Teach-

er, had this t

o say: “The QRS

process has allowed us to

con-

tinue our quest f

or excellence

for our preschool program here

at Turkey Valley. We are grate-

ful for th

e other staff, a

dminis-

tration, parents, and Child Care

Resource & Referral Staff for

supporting us in

this process.”

QRS is a voluntary program

that is available to child care

providers. A monetary bonus

is given to child care providers

and centers that achieve QRS

levels.

The 50th anniversary of tor-

shadowed a bit of C

almar’s his-

tory.“During the late afternoon

and early evening of May 15,

1968, five tornadoes (t

wo F1s,

one F2, and two F5s) o

ccurred

in Iowa,” according to infor-

mation posted at the National

Weather Service sit

e. “These

tornadoes were part o

f a wide-

spread outbreak (39 tornadoes)

which impacted ten sta

tes. In

Iowa, the tornadoes caused 18

fatalities and 619 injuries. S

ince

this outbreak, no other torna-

does have produced this m

any

deaths or injuries in

Iowa.”

The Fayette County com-

munity of Oelw

German Historian Visits

St. Lucas

Information courtesy

Clair Blong

On May 14, Carl a

nd Rose-

mary (Kuennen) M

ost, found-

ing members of the German

American Museum, gave Rob-

ert Muelle

r-Stahl, a resident of

Berlin, Germany, a brief

tour of

the beautiful St. L

uke Church

and Cemetery, the German

American Museum and Library

and the Saint Anthony of Padua

Chapel located near th

e Turkey

River. Mueller-Stahl fo

und St.

Luke’s Cemetery with all the

German names of particular in

-

terest.Mueller-S

tahl was

most

impressed with the beautifu

l

stained-glass windows in St.

Luke’s Church. These windows

came from M

unich, Germany,

immediately after World War

I and were made by craftsmen

whose skills

have largely been

lost through the latter half o

f the

20th century.

Robert stated, “In some Ger-

man cathedrals, which were

damaged by Allied bombing

during World War II, large

sections of windows have been

enclosed with regular glass, not

stained glass, as fo

r example in

Munich. This g

ives us a vivid

reminder of how catastrophic

war is and how few skille

d per-

sons remain with the knowledge

to make real stained-glass a

rt.”

Regarding the Smallest

Church, Robert w

as struck by

the Huber and Gartner familie

s’

strong commitm

ent to their

faith, their direct connection

to Napoleonic military histo

ry

and their enduring dedication

to maintaining the church for

these many decades.

Mueller-Stahl is

a Fulbright

Fellow in modern German his-

tory at the Universit

y of Wis-

consin,

Madison. Robert’s

degrees are: M.A., T

ransconti-

nental European

History in Moder-

nity, Universit

y of

Göttingen, Germa-

ny (currently en-

rolled) and a B.A.

in History and

Political Science,

University of G

öt-

tingen, Germany.

His father is Ha-

gen Mueller-Stahl,

a renowned theater

dramatist, in Ber-

lin. Robert’s uncle

is Armin Muel-

ler-Stahl, famous as a German

movie actor and artist.

Robert said, “I am interest-

ed in early Twentieth Century

Germany, in partic

ular the Wei-

mar Republic. I

am exploring

the structures and mechanism

s

leading to political polarization

and the circulating understand-

ings of democracy.”

His master’s

thesis research

is focusing on the social and po-

litical ro

le of sports

club in Ger-

man society during the Weimar

Republic in the 1920s and early

1930s.

Robert enjoyed the German

American Museum tour and

noted the wide diversity of lo

cal

historical artif

acts.

Robert commented, “This

Museum reflects the efforts

of many citiz

ens to share their

German and American heritag-

es and helps persons understand

their cultural id

entity as A

mer-

icans with a partic

ular cultural

heritage”.

Robert found the early base-

ball sports e

quipment collection

of particular in

terest.

Mueller-Stahl was also in-

terested in the Mu-

seum’s extensive

military service

artifact collection.

Robert noted,

“This kind of dis-

play would not be

evident in most

German museums,

given the two cat-

astrophic conflic

ts

in Europe”.

Robert was

very impressed

with the large

number of history

and literary volumes in

the li-

brary suitable for advanced re-

search and general reading.

Carl Most summarized his

visit, “A

s a young scholar, Rob-

ert has a fin

e understanding of

our history. He understa

nds

how we cherish knowledge of

the countries of our ancestors,

how we as Americans can look

to the past with a desire

to pre-

serve our national and religious

heritage as w

e live our liv

es and

seek to shape the future of our

country.”

Mueller-Stahl has been in-

vited to submit his thesis pa-

per to the Society for G

erman

American Studies April 2019

annual symposium in Madi-

son, Wis.,

that draws scholars

from the United States and

German-speaking countrie

s of

Europe. Robert has also been

invited to present his thesis

at

the German American Museum

next year.

Iowa’s unemployment num-

bers stayed at 2.8 percent la

st

month.Data rel

eased by email May

18 by Iowa Workforce Develop-

ment puts the national ra

te at 3.9

percent.

“Our historically low un-

employment rate continues,

presenting challenges for em-

ployers to fin

d skilled workers

while also creating opportuni-

ties for jo

b seekers,” said Beth

Townsend, Iowa Workforce De-

velopment Director. “

In Iowa,

stakeholders from across

the

workforce spectrum are having

ongoing conversations about

how to close the skills

gap and

reach the Future Ready Iowa

attainment goal of 70% of Io-

wans having post-secondary

education by 2025. Our partners

in education, including K-12

school districts,

private and

regent universities, and com-

munity colleges are all focused

on expanding training opportu-

nities fo

r Iowans to

take advan-

tage of current openings in high

demand careers. Iowa’s

busi-

ness and industry

partners are

finding new ways to promote

and grow work based learning

opportunities in

their faciliti

es.”

That mixed sit

uation can be

seen in this area.

“The employment market

is very tig

ht in our area, espe-

cially in agriculture,” said Dave

Hemesath, general manager

at Farmers Union Coop. “It i

s

difficult to

get people to even

apply. We are currently looking

for three fulltim

e positions. U

n-

fortunately people often over-

look the ag market even though

there are some very good pay-

ing jobs there that don’t re

quire

an agriculture background.”

The health field is

also see-

ing this trend. “During tim

es of

low unemployment, employers

typically see fewer applications

for open positions,” said Laurie

Bulman, Winneshiek Medical

Center’s director of human re-

sources.

“Fortunately, Winneshiek

Medical Center h

as been able

to fill the majority

of our open-

ings. Partnerships and Word-of-

Mouth recruitment [p

lay signif-

icant roles].”

Additional details a

re emerg-

ing on a bond levy renewal com-

ing up for Northeast Io

wa Com-

munity College.

Meeting with the Calmar

Courier July 11, President Dr.

Liang Chee Wee, communica-

tions coordinator Doug Ropa

and vice president of operations

Rhonda Seibert gave a p

icture of

the college’s

needs.

Exiting Iowa’s

Dairy Center

presents diffi

culty with visi-

bility. A

n idea being floated is

getting the drive moved up the

road.On a walking tour of cam-

pus, Seibert n

oted a window in

one of the cla

ssrooms. A

relic

from days gone by, the window

provides virtually no insulation

value, staff n

oted.

During the tour, the issue

would be heat. Come winter, it

’s

the cold. Either way, it’

s ineffi

-

cient.Gettin

g doors to clo

se is also

a concern.

Most of the roofs

at the

Calmar campus are in decent

shape, but work is needed at th

e

Max Clark building.

Asbestos is present, it was

noted, during a stop in a cla

ss-

room.College offic

ials are hoping

the work will be completed in

three to seven years, but it c

ould

take longer, according to infor-

mation provided by Ropa.

The last levy came right

around the time of the reces-

sion. Wee noted that m

ost of th

e

money stayed rig

ht in northeast

Iowa, a boost.

The work being eyed is “non-

sexy” said Wee. With orien-

tation underway and students

walking around, Wee sto

pped to

chat with a g

roup of visitors.

With the nature of what

NICC teaches, there is a

need to

stay current. If

a new model of

farm equipment comes out, the

college has to look carefu

lly to

see if change is n

eeded.

Wee referred to it as “tools

of the trade” required for the

college.

Significant

Damage

Seen

A storm that hit th

e area late

Friday afternoon caused a wild

evening in the area.

Striking Calmar sh

ortly after

4:30 p.m., the sto

rm quickly re-

duced visibility

. Vehicles pulled

off of U

.S. 52 between Calm-

ar and Decorah and by around

5 p.m., flash flo

oding had hit

Decorah’s streets.

“Friday’s storm resulted in

an evacuation of the county fair

for approximately two hours,”

said Winneshiek County Emer-

gency Management C

oordina-

tor Sean Snyder by email Mon-

day. “Countless tree damage

and several power lines were

also compromised as a result of

the storm.”

The storm was proving to be

a field test o

pportunity.

“I have a new damage as-

sessment softw

are that I am

using to assist me with cata-

loging damages to the county

after a storm hits,”

said Snyder.

“The damage assessment so

ft-

ware will be key in helping me,

help the people of Winneshiek

County. What is nice about

this program is that it allows

the people to “self-r

eport” their

damages. In essence, it

allows

me, a department of one, to

be

in multiple places around the

county at once.”

Emergency Management Coordinator

Heeding

The Call

Turkey Valley students w

ho

volunteer, with the local Fire

Department or EMS, will

be

able to respond at the fir

st page

if their p

arents have se

nt in a

note.School board members h

eard

from superintendent Jay Jurrens

during the July 9 meeting.

Jurrens noted this was a

change.

It’s a move that drew praise.

“I think Turkey Valley is

being very proactive with their

recent policy change,” said

Winneshiek County Emergen-

cy Management Coordinator

Sean Snyder by email July 11. “I

know there are several employ-

ers around the county which do

allow their employees to

leave

when responding to 911 calls

and that is much appreciated.”

By email Thursday morning,

Jurrens said fire departm

ent

volunteers would be affected

and not EMS but noted volun-

teering varies from year to

year.
