Les Keune of West Union discusses his near-death experience ice fishing with Union reporter Chris DeBack. While traveling on the Mississippi River at the Minnesota Slough near Lansing, his snowmobile fell through the ice. He managed to
grab hold of his ice fishing shelter and phone for help, but he was in the ice-cold water for approximately 30 minutes.

Ice fisherman rescued
Keune: God had

a hold of me...
By CHRIS DEBACK
cdeback@thefayettecountyunion.com
Les Keune is an experienced ice fisherman. Having spent a majority of winters in his
adulthood out on the ice, last Friday was going to be just another morning with him,
the cold and some fish.

Keune was in the Minnesota Slough near Lansing, having set out from Armory Road onto the Mississippi with his
snowmobile and mobile ice shelter. He made it 1 miles
on the ice before he came to a patch of ice that made him a
little gun-shy. He didnt want to risk an accident, so he got
off his snowmobile and began to check out the ice.
I have fished that place many, many times, and I
know the ice down there, Keune said. So, I pulled up and
stopped, because you cant drive across the islands. I went
down with a spud and sounded out the ice, and it sounded
good. There was snowmobile track already through there,

so I took off around there.

Just when he thought he was safe, he felt the snow beneath his snowmobile begin to give. First, the back end of
the snowmobile fell into the water and then the front end.
He rolled off the snowmobile and began to tread water with
his ice armor on.

I just about started to panic, and I thought to myself,

capture 17 awards
By CHRIS DEBACK
The Fayette County Union and Fayette

Publishing staff was honored with 17
awards at the Iowa Newspaper Associations
Convention and Trade Show held Feb. 3-5
at the Des Moines Marriott Hotel.
Publisher LeAnn Larson stated, This
year, I am again extremely proud of our entire staff. Its not just about individuals winning awards, its about the commitment and
teamwork from our entire staff to produce
quality news stories, photos and advertisements for our four quality publications
week after week. I am so very proud of each
and every one of them.
The winners of 17 awards in 12 categories are as follows:
Fayette Publishing reporter Zakary
Kriener won a first-place award for his
sports feature story Undrafted: Cole
Jaeschke because, according to the judges,
it combined an uncommon journey with a
subject many wonder about.
Union reporter Brian Smith took first
place for his series Larger than Life: The
Story of an Iowa Farm Boy. Judges noted
that his storytelling really shined when recounting [Lyle] Andersons time serving in
the Vietnam War.
Fayette Publishing graphic designer
Danielle Luchsinger took first place as Best
Ad Designer. According to the judges, she
used strong images and effective font selections to make her ads stand out for each
client.
Fayette Publishing took first place for
its feature page American Heroes. The
judges commented, Good job! They liked
the profiles of veterans and the design.
The Union staff received third place for
Best Special Section - Editorial for its 2015
Health Tab. Comments included that the
stories were inspirational and well-told.
The Fayette County Union added a
first place in Best Newspaper Marketing
for State Championship DVD. The judges commented, Absolutely a great keepsake for the families of the players and the
schools patrons. They will always remember who gave it to them.
For the very first time, the Union

staff received second place for its Total
Newspaper Design. Judges added, The entire paper is bold & crisp. Every bit of content is presented well.
The advertising awards began with an
ad designed for Shrimptastic, receiving a
third-place award for Fayette Publishing.
In the category Best Ad Featuring
Professional Service, The Fayette County
Union advertising staff picked up a firstplace award for Bank 1st introducing
Mypics Debt Cards: Well-designed! A
clever bank promotion with real local appeal.
In the same category, the Fayette
Publishing staff received a first-place award
for Palmer Lutheran Health Centers Rebab
Services TigerHawk Pride ad. Judges
commented, The photo is worth a million
words! It was definitely a favorite, as the
same ad went on to win Best of Class advertising at the end of the evening.
In the Best Special Section category,
the staff from Fayette Publishing picked up
first- and second-place awards for its Soil
& Water Conservation District edition and
its Bridal issue, respectively. The judges like
the ads designed to work well with the Soil
issue, as well as the great selection of ads in
the Bridal issue.
The Fayette County Newspapers staff
received three awards for ads in the Best Ad
Featuring Agriculture category. They were
honored with first and second places for
Crop Production Services advertising and a
third place for Viafield. The first-place Crop
Production Services ad also went on to win
a third-place honor in the Best of Class
category.
The 2016 Better Newspaper Contest
was judged by the New York Press
Association. Approximately 4,200 entries
in numerous categories were judged in two
daily and three weekly circulation classes.
The evening ended by honoring The Des
Moines Register as the 2016 Newspaper of
the Year.

Theres a new chief in
town, and his name is Dylan
Schauer.
The West Union City
Council approved the hire
of Schauer from Wyoming
as the citys new police chief
by a 4-1 vote at its regular
Monday meeting on Feb. 8.
Councilmember Isaiah
Stansbery was the lone dissenter of the group. He felt a
starting salary of $65,000 was
too high for a new City employee.
I know there has been
a number of debates about it,
but I dont see a starting salary being that high, Stansbery
asked. My biggest issue
is, this is West Union, and
we have 2,500 people. The
highest-paid City employees
will be making $15,000 less
than what we are paying this
guy starting out. I like him;
I think he is very qualified,
possible overqualified. Im
concerned that the amount
of traffic coming through
We
West Union wouldnt keep

his interest.
Councilman
Kennon
Gumm noted that the Police
Chief Search Committee
compared his starting salary to what other city police
chiefs and sheriffs in northeast Iowa are making.
When you compare the
size of town, he is falling in
[that range], he really is, said
Gumm about the starting
salary. When you do the research of the crimes over the
last four years, I dont know
if that man would get bored.
We have seen an uprising in
some [crimes], some things
that we didnt even see 10 to
15 years ago; we are getting
more of that.
Officer Michael Tobin
was in attendance at the
meeting. He didnt speak to
what the new police chief
should be paid, but noted
how excited he is as an officer to have a leader come
onboard with the experience
Schauer brings.
We may not have the
indictable offenses yet, but

Fayette County Sheriff

Marty Fisher announced
on Wednesday, Feb. 3, on
the sheriff s offices official
Facebook page that he intends to run for a fifth term.
In his announcement
Fisher noted the accomplishments the sheriff s office has
had over the last year under
his direction. He said that
the jail had a record number
of inmates over the last year,
that the sheriff s office made
nearly 800 arrests, and dispatch answered 20,000 calls.
if we get somebody in here

[who is] driven and who can
drive some of us to do a little more, you might see that
change, Tobin said. I dont
know if at $65,000 he is our
guy, I dont know, but I dont
want you to look at $65,000
for one person, but what can
that $65,000 bring to us as a
community and us as officers.

I could get out of this,

Keune related.
That was when his survival training and 28 years
of firefighter service in West
Union kicked him into high
gear. He immediately calmed
down and began to assess
the situation. He could see
his ice shelter was still above
water. As he treaded water,
he got the shelter to open up
and grabbed ahold of it. This
gave him a life preserver.
As he continued to tread
water, he rolled back and
pushed off a piece of ice to
reach for the shelter with his
other hand. As he did that,
he felt something against his
foot.
I felt something hit my
foot, so I dug it in as hard as
I could, he said still shaken.
It was the snowmobile. I
held onto the shelter and had
my feet on the snowmobile,
and I was in water to my
chest. I was in seven feet of
water. I never would have
made it out of there because I
cant swim. The closest piece
of ice that wasnt busted off
was 10 feet away.
It was about 7:20 a.m.
when his snowmobile fell
into the water. It took approximately four minutes to
get himself situated with the
shelter. While treading water, he had been in the water
up to his neck. His cell phone
had been attached to a holder on the upper portion of
his bibs by his left shoulder.
When he got far enough up
out of the water, he reached
for his phone. Taking his
gloves off, he began to try to
operate the phone. However,
it was clear it had taken significant water damage.
I had gone down to
about my chin in the water,
Keune recalled. I got to the
screen, and the screen was
flickering. I punched in 911
and the numbers went all
over the place, and it wasnt
wanting to work.
After the eighth attempt
at dialing 911, he was finally able to get through. He
quickly told the dispatcher
his story and exactly where
he was located. The dispatcher asked him if he wanted
her to stay on the line until
help arrived. He declined, as
he wanted to concentrate on
holding onto the shelter.
After what seemed like
hours to Keune, a little panic
began to creep back into his
mind. What if he hadnt given clear enough directions?
What if they couldnt find
him in time? He attempted to
call 911 again, but due to the
water damage on his phone,
he was unable to place the
call.
Thats when the West
Union man decided to
How Sweet she is...

And on VALENTINES
A
He also said the civil office

has been busy with weapon
permits, paper service and
committals.
I am truly honored
to be the sheriff of Fayette
County and hope to continue
to make the great strides we
have been making over the
last several years. I want to
keep things moving in the
right direction. We have a
very dedicated staff that truly
want to make a difference,
Fishers Facebook post read.

DAY
why not give her
call Fayette County Chief

Deputy Jim Davis, to see if
he could help. The call went
to voicemail, so he tried Jay
Schwamman.
I told Jay I was in big
trouble, Keune continued.
I told him the stuff that I
needed him to tell my wife
and kids because I couldnt
call them directly. I didnt
want them to hear what I
sounded like because I didnt
think I was going to make it.
I was already in the water;
I was shaking really bad. I
thought I was pretty clear,
but Jay couldnt understand
me that well, I had to keep repeating myself. I tried to call
911 again and Jim Davis, and
then my phone quit working
after that.
By this point, the father
of three had stopped shivering, which isnt a good sign.
Hypothermia was quickly
beginning to set in.
After what seemed like
an eternity to him, help arrived. The New Albion
Fire Department asked Jeff
Hawes of Waukon, who had
been down there fishing at
the time, if he would use his
hovercraft to go out and grab
Keune. With New Albion
firefighter Paul Weyland in
the hovercraft with Hawes
the duo pulled Keune from
the water and raced back to
shore. There, a ranger took
the exhausted survivor to an
ambulance, where they began to wrap him in blankets
and used heat packs to begin
to bring his core temperature
back up. Les feels he was in
the water for approximately
30 minutes.
Their response was fast,
but it didnt feel like it, the

avid outdoorsman said. The
EMT reached down and
grabbed my arm; I reached
up and grabbed onto the
side of the hovercraft, trying
to get a good hold with my
hand. Hawes did a couple
circles with the hovercraft, so
that I ended up onto the ice,
and they pulled me into the
hovercraft and took off up
the river.
Keune knows he is very
fortunate. There were moments when he thought it
was the end. However, he is
quick to credit the special
ice-fishing gear he was wearing with saving his life.
It was horrible, no
doubt about it, Keune said.
I was from the chest down
solid red. It looked like I had a
really bad sunburn. Because I
had high-quality clothing on
that was meant for ice fishing, it was holding in some
body heat. I think the goodquality clothes bought me an
extra 10 minutes.
His advice to those who
want to ice fish is to check,
check, and check the ice. He
also advised buying a float
suit; his will be coming in the
mail in a couple of days.
You have a lot of time to
think; you think about how it
is going to affect your family,
your friends and everyone
around you, Keune closed.
I dont know what I could
have done different to make
sure it didnt happen.
This near-death experience isnt going to stop Keune
from enjoying something he
loves to do, but it has given
him a greater appreciation
for the ice he steps out on.

THE FAYETTE COUNTY UNION
Nick Baumler lone champ
By Jerry Wadian
jwadian@thefayettecountyunion.com
North Fayette will send

four wrestlers to the District
Tournament Saturday in
Independence. District action is two rounds with any
necessary
wrestlebacks.
Two of the four wrestlers in
each weight class will advance to the State Wrestling
Tournament in Des Moines
Thursday through Saturday,
Feb. 18-20.
Action in Independence
on Saturday will begin at
noon; admission is $6, and
there will be a concession
stand.
The Class 2A Sectional
Tournament in Decorah
on Saturday proved to be
as tough as expected. New
Hampton, ranked first in the
class, won. Crestwood, also
highly ranked, placed second, just 5.5 points ahead
of surprising Oelwein. The
TigerHawks finished fifth,
but managed to send a champion and three runners-up to
District action.
Afterwards NFV head
coach Jacob Pedersen commented, It was a heck of a
tournament. To be honest,
there were not a lot of surprises. All of the number-one
seeds advanced to Districts.
Nick Baumler dominated
the 182 pound class, winning
both matches by fall, spending a total of 2:07 on the mat.
Jordan Baumler, ranked
seventh, had a bye and a
quick pin, but lost to fifthranked Travis McMillen of
Oelwein, 12-1.
Jared Kerr and Kelvin
Guyer brought the large
TigerHawk following to its
feet with come-from-behind
victories on their way to
second place and the trip to
Independence.
At 145, Kerr was down,
5-0, going into the second
period of his second-round
TigerHawks send 4 to Districts
match with Oelweins Carter

Block, but he managed a reversal and pin at the threeminute mark.
Pedersen said, Kerr was
thrown in a bad decision, but
I was proud of how he overcame the bad start to come
up with a big fall. He could
have given up, but he fought
hard to get off his back.
Guyers
second-round
match against Noah Glaser
of New Hampton was one of
the best of the tourney. The
TigerHawk 170-pounder was
down three points most of
the match, including the start
of the final period. However,
he was able to forge an escape, takedown, and near-fall
points to escape, 11-10.
Pedersen noted, Guyer
was able to keep his composure throughout the match to
win a wild one.
Gunner Rodgers was a
solid third in the rugged 113
pound class, winning his final match, 16-2, but could
not earn the wrestleback.
Wyatt Van Sickle was in
the 126 pound weight class
that featured three ranked
wrestlers. The sophomore
proved he was the best of the
rest with a fourth-place finish.
Colton Caldwell also used
a throw to earn fourth place
at 152.
Johnny Wander hit his
head on a toss to the mat in
round one at 132. The senior
gamely continued the match,
but injury-defaulted his other match.
As for Districts this week,
Pedersen stated, At this
point of the season, we just
need to continue to win. It
doesnt have to be pretty. If
the guys wrestle their match
and keep their pace, they
should be hard to beat.

NFV bowlers bow to V-S

By Jerry Wadian
The North Fayette Valley

bowling teams ran into two
of the best teams in the state
Friday in Vinton, as the
TigerHawk boys lost, 28212301, and the girls fell, 24671733.
The boys were without top
scorer Colton Blue as they
faced a Vinton-Shellsburg
squad that had lots of talent returning from a second-place finish at the State
Bowling Meet last year.
Brian Roulson led the team
with a 412 series that included a 224, the second-highest
score of the night for either
team. In fact, his 412 series
was the high for either team.
Head coach Chris DeBack
said afterwards, We didnt
roll to our potential, but I
was proud of how the team
handled the pressure of taking on one of the best teams
in the state in their house.
The boys have made a lot of
progress this year.

The girls faced a pair of V-S
bowlers that also made the
State Meet last year.
Coach DeBack challenged
his team to reach 1800, and
they responded by coming
within 67 pins.
Kaylee Jones anchored the
Baker Challenge (in which
five bowlers roll two frames
each) for the first time and
did well.
DeBack said, Jones proved
to be a viable leader.
Paige Woodson had her

most consistent match of
the season with a 146-143289, which was enough to be
the team high score; her 146
was the best individual NFV
game.

good times.
Appler was in two relays,
leading off both the 200
medley relay and the 200 free
relay. The two relays finished
seventh and sixth, respectively. In addition, Appler placed
15th in the 100 backstroke.
Kueker finished 10th in the
500 free and 14th in the 200
free.

TigerHawk boys topple West Central

By Jerry Wadian
After not practicing for

over two days due to the
snowstorm that hit the area
Tuesday, Feb. 2, the North
Fayette Valley boys basketball team showed a lot of rust
Thursday in Charles City,
losing to the Comets, 65-40.
However, the TigerHawks
bounced back Friday at
home with a 74-53 win over
West Central.
Thursdays road trip was
not the best effort of the season as NFV went 16-50 from
the field, including a 7-19
showing from beyond the
arc.
The second quarter proved
to be a disaster for NFV as
the Comets went on a 20-5
run, and the TigerHawks
were never able to recover.
Austin Callahan was the
only player in double digits
with 14 points. Nic Butikofer
was close to double figures
with nine points on 3-5
shooting from downtown.

Friday, NFV was back in

fine form as it won a surprisingly easy win over a Blue
Devil team that leads the
small-school division of the
UIC with a 10-4 record.
It was the last home
game for NFV seniors Trevor
Hurd, Kedrick Bemiss and
Callahan as NFV celebrated
Parents Night.
The TigerHawks started
hot with a 21-11 lead at the
end of the first quarter, and
they went on to maintain a
double-digit lead most of the
night.
The Blue Devils started a
run in the final quarter, cut-

Girls BB wins 2 more

By Jerry Wadian

girls basketball team won
both games last week to up
their record to 10-9 overall
and 7-5 in the UIC.
Thursday, the TigerHawks
beat Charles City, 56-42, on
the road, and the next night
NFV won a Parents Night
game over West Central, 7333.
The away game on Thursday
saw the TigerHawks on the
short end of a 9-5 score at the
end of the first eight minutes.
We did not come ready to
play, noted Calkins. You
could tell that we had not
practiced in over two days
because of the snow last
week.
The good news for the
surging TigerHawks is the
fact they were able to settle
down and use the pressure
D to go on a 20-7 tear in the
second quarter to lead, 2516, at the break.
The second half, the
Comets had a girl hit five
3-pointers to keep it close,
but NFV used balanced scoring to win the final 16 minutes, 31-26.
Fridays game was not only
Parents Night, but it was also
Breast Cancer Awareness
Night.
The TigerHawk girls sent
the local fans away happy
with a big win over a Blue
Devil team missing its lead-
ing scorer due to injury.

Despite that, WC stayed
with NFV through much of
the first quarter before the
TigerHawks put on a run to
lead, 24-13, at the end of the
quarter. Autumn Lamb and
Macy Halverson each canned
a pair of treys in the opening
quarter.
By halftime, NFV led, 4222, and the TigerHawk pressure wore down the Devils as
the home team took the second half, 31-11.
Head coach Jim Calkins
called it a total team victory.
He said, We missed some
easy chippies in close, but we
were very aggressive on the
offensive glass.
Calkins was pleased that
he was able to play all of his
players, and every one of
them made a contribution.
The head man also noted,
I really want to thank the
seniors, Kim Rounds, Becca
Miller and Lamb for their
four years. It has not always
been easy, but this was a
wonderful way to cap off
their final home game.
No individual stats were
available at press time.
This week the TigerHawks
were on the road Monday
and Tuesday (Feb. 8-9) at
Kee and Ed-Co, respectively. Saturday, they take
on second-ranked Center
Point-Urbana in round one
of Regional play in Center
Point. Game time will be 7

Hog Roast on tap again

By CHRIS DEBACK
At its regular monthly

meeting on Monday, Feb.
8, the Fayette County Fair
Board discussed hosting a
hog roast fundraiser again
this year.
The group discussed a
tentative date of June 25 and
considered doing away with
the live auction, because in
the past, Fair Board members noticed the crowd fizzling out as the live auction
got underway.
The Fair Board is hoping
to attract close to 600 people
to the event and will more
than likely earmark the proceeds for a specific item, area

or project at the fair.
In other news, the Fair
Board:
Set up a committee
comprised of Mark Putney
and Justin Steinlage to continue to look into making
the Stephens Building handicapped-accessible;
Considered bringing
in a person to do chainsaw
carving demonstrations. The
Fair Board would need to
provide the wood but could
then auction off the carvings. It considered having the
chainsaw carver on multiple
days of the fair.

Discussed having
more entertainment in the
Bandstand at the request of
the Fayette County Historical
Society. It is currently looking for acts to play in the
Bandstand, and the board
is considering having a
Christian music concert one
night.
Approved Just For
Kicks (JFK) continuing to
use the Dance Pavilion on
Monday nights from August
through May for dance classes. JFK is charged $40 per
night to use the Pavilion.
NEW POLICE CHIEF Continued

I think my thought process with Dylan
was getting the right leadership for our force,
training them and working the cases, Mayor
Kent Halverson added. I have been here six
years and how many chiefs have we gone
through? Maybe we need to step out of the
box on salary.
Schauer currently serves as a criminal
investigator with the U.S. Marshals Service.
Before that, he was a patrol corporal for a
police department in Wyoming. He also has
experience as a field training officer (FTO),
drug recognition expert (DRE), shift investigator, and a SWAT operator with sniper training. In addition, he has also worked as an instructor of numerous police training courses.
I am very excited, as well as honored, to
not only be the next chief of police for the city
of West Union, but to also make your community home for me and my family, Schauer
stated. I appreciate all of the support I have
received so far. My wife and I find West Union
to be a quaint and charming community that
exemplifies the small-town Midwestern life
that we believe to be ideal.
Currently, the City has only approved
his hire. Schauer still needs to sign a five-year
employment agreement before it is official.
In other City business, the council continued to review the city budget and will have
more discussion on the topic at its next meeting on Monday, Feb. 22.
The City Council did set the public hearing for the West Union city budget for 6 p.m.
Monday, March 7.

MILLERS continued
was there that he caught the
eye of a young, pretty Ruby
Koester, who had grown up
at the top of the Eldorado
Hill. She was working as a
stylist at Millers Beauty Shop
in Oelwein.
That was the thing to
do, go to The Coliseum on
weekends, Bill recalled.
The son of Lloyd and
Edna Miller, Bill grew up
on a farm on Knight Road,
where his niece, Jan OBrien,
and her husband, Tim, now
reside. Bill and Ruby dated
for the next couple of years,
while Bill finished his education at UIU, earning a degree
in biology.
He gave me a ring while
I was working as a beautician, she said.
Then Bill applied for a
teaching job in Alaska, seeking adventure.
When I first took the
job, I didnt know the situation, Bill said of being unsure where the couple would
live once they arrived.
He had the choice
of teaching at a school in
Skagway or Bethel. He took
the job teaching all math and
science classes at the small
high school in Skagway, and
Ruby soon joined him in
Alaska.
Married in Juneau on
Sept. 29, 1950, at a Lutheran
church, a couple they had
known only briefly stood up
for them.
An Italian woman they
remember as being named
Giglioni, whom Bill had met
on his flight to Alaska, made
sure the couple had a cake to
celebrate their marriage.
The next day we got on
a plane and flew to Skagway,
Ruby said.
We lived in a boarding
house and then a Quonset
hut, then a little house. When
you rented a house there, you
bought everything even
the cats and dogs went along
with it, she said, laughing as
she reminisced. In a way,
that was kind of handy.
There werent many services available to residents
of the Alaskan Territory in
the 1950s. Alaska hadnt yet
become the countrys 49th
state.
A lady walked a mile to
our house so I could fix her
hair, Ruby related. I asked
her how to crochet or knit,
and I ended up knitting eight
sweaters while we lived up
there.
Ruby tried to stay busy
while Bill worked as a longshoreman at the docks on the
weekends. He also went out
on commercial fishing boats
seining for salmon and fished
for halibut in what remained
of his free time.
Bill and Rubys oldest
daughter, Beth, was born in
Juneau, requiring Ruby to fly
to the state capital for the de-

visited the Great Pyramids. Ruby is a native of Eldorado, and
Bill grew up in Fayette.
livery at a hospital.
The young Miller family
moved to the fishing village
of Wrangell, following the
superintendent of schools
when he moved to a different
school.
Eventually, Bill decided
he wanted an advanced degree, so they left Alaska and
he took a position as high
school science instructor
in Ivanhoe, Minn. After a
short stint there, Bill worked
at a forestry camp for the
University of Michigan
one summer in the Upper
Peninsula.
I got acquainted with
some professors at the
University of Michigan, and
they helped me get a grant so
I could get a masters degree
in biology.
Around the time the
Millers moved to Ann Arbor,
Mich., they had added
Roxanne to the family.
Eventually, Bill accepted
a position teaching advanced
biology at Main West Schools
in Des Plaines, Ill. When a
community college was constructed in Palatine in about
1967, Bill was one of the first

three teachers to teach college classes there. Before the

structure was complete, he
remembers his first classes
taking place in the stables at
Arlington International Race
Track.
The majority of Bills
teaching career saw the
Millers remaining in Illinois.
After Barb and Scott were
born, Ruby took a job managing the school cafeteria in
a nearby school system. She
and Bill continued in their
education and service careers for most of the rest of
their lives until retiring in the
1980s.
We tried retiring near
Seattle, Wash., because one
daughter lives there, said
Bill.
But the foggy, rainy
weather wasnt what these
native Iowans had in mind
once their days became a bit
more leisurely.
The daughter of Ernest
and Lottie Koester, Ruby
convinced her husband to
move back to Eldorado in
1990, and the couple bought
an acreage from her mother.
They stayed with Lottie while
they waited for their prefabricated home to be constructed
just south of the home farm,
approximately four miles
north of West Union.
These days the Millers
enjoy reflecting on their
many travels over the years,
including to Africa, Egypt,
Australia, New Zealand and
Europe. They also enjoy getting phone calls from their
children, including daughters Beth and Barb, who both
live in Bend, Ore., daughter
Roxanne of Frankfurt, Ill.,
and son Scott of West Union.
Their family also includes
five grandchildren and three
great-grandsons.
Bill and Ruby, both 87,
celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary last fall with
a dinner at their church, St.
Peter Lutheran in Eldorado.
I dont know where
all the time went, Ruby
laughed. And I cant believe
Im still here!

Stolen Brothers BBQ

If youre craving some good ol Texas barbecue one evening, youll no longer have to drive to Texas to get it.
Ready to serve eager BBQ fanatics, Stolen Brothers BBQ
is setting up shop in the former Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church on Highway 150 South in West Union. The space is
rented from Kevin and Pam Cline. The restaurant had a soft
opening on Tuesday, Feb. 9.
Owner Dan Mueller of Alpha said the restaurant will
serve brisket, pork, ribs and chicken along with a number of
different BBQ sandwiches and BBQ and regular pizza. His
BBQ is sauceless, but Mueller noted that the restaurant will
have Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce available for those that
want to add it. No alcohol will be sold initially, but it is a potential option down the road.
I really like BBQ pizza, so I wanted to bring it to town,
Mueller explained. The brick oven can be used for breads
and the sides. We are going to have cheesy potatoes and green
bean casserole. Im not going to say no to anything.
The restaurant will be a counter establishment; a customer orders his or her food and then picks it up from the counter
when it is ready. Mueller noted that if its not too busy, the staff
may bring the food to the customer, but for the most part, it
isnt a sit-and-be-waited-on restaurant.
You may have an idea that is good that you like, but if
your customers dont like it then it doesnt make any sense,
Mueller continued. You can have excellent food, but terrible
service and people will come to you once, or you can have
good food, but great service, and people will keep coming
back to you.
Muellers former brother-in-law Moses Zuniga of
Chicago will run the kitchen and a small staff. Mueller will be
very hands-on at first, but as the business becomes established
he will let Zuniga run the day-to-day operations.
We could have went with one of those fancy steak joints
because my brother-in-law has that background, cooking at
those higher-end places in Chicago, but that is not where we
live, he said. We are in a blue-collar, hardworking, wantgood-food-at-a-decent-price area.
The restaurateur prides himself on customer service and
a willingness to try different things customers may request.
The pizza, as well as various sides, will be made in the restaurants brick pizza oven.
Whatever the customers want is what I am going to try
to do, Mueller explained. If they want something different,
we will do whatever you want. You want to put something different on your pizza, Ill put whatever you want on your pizza.
I want to try to keep the communication open between the
customers and myself through Facebook or coming in.
Currently Mueller can seat close to 50 people in his restaurant and has plans for expansion, such as an outdoor patio
to eat on during the summer.
The owner of Caps and
Chrome Dealer Services in Alpha began Stolen Brothers BBQ
from a food trailer four years ago. He brought it around to
local fairs, festivals and events before fairgoers at the 2015
Fayette County Fair suggested he open up a restaurant.
I told them to find me a spot, and I would consider it,
Mueller said. A couple days later they called me and said,
Hey, we have a spot. I couldnt back out of my word, so I
thought, Hey, lets try it.
Mueller, a former Chicago resident who moved to northeast Iowa in 2009 and now resides in Alpha, got the idea for
the name from his brother. The pit he uses to smoke the different types of meat was originally his brothers, who is a pitmaster in South Texas, private pit.
I bought the pit from my brother, but I stole his ribs,
he closed with a chuckle. So, I wanted to keep him involved
namewise, just because he is my brother and thats where I got
the ideas from.
Stolen Brothers BBQ will be open seven days a week
from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Every Movie,

Dan Mueller Stolen Brothers owner, got the idea for his businesss
name after he bought a BBQ pit from his pitmaster brother in South
Texas and stole his ribs recipe. The West Union restaurant is slated
to open by Valentines Day on Highway 150 South.

Matthiesen not
just horsing
around
By BRIAN SMITH
bsmith@thefayettecountyunion.com
ince he was a boy, Bill

Matthiesen has always
had a connection to
horses. Whether it was riding
his pony to country school
in northwest Iowa or racing
horses at the fair, there was
just something about equines
that attracted him. Riding became a regular family activity for the Matthiesen family, who moved to northeast
Iowa in 1962. Now Bill and
his wife, Dona, who still live
on their horse farm located
east of Wadena, have created a great deal of cherished
memories. While they had
a lot of fun along the way,
the time their family spent
riding and caring for horses
was definitely more than just
horsing around.
We used to crop farm,
raise cattle, and some pigs,
but horses were our main interest. Buying, selling, training, and showing our horses
occupied a lot of our time
when our family moved here
to northeast Iowa, said Bill,
who also did a lot of judging
at horse shows during those
years.
Bill Matthiesen was
born July 10, 1928, to Pete
and Lucy Matthiesen of
Everly. His parents were
farmers, and he remembers
well growing up on the farm.
I was the secondyoungest in my family of
seven children, and we all
helped with the chores. I did
some milking by hand, and
we had some horses that I
was able to show at the fair,
recalled the longtime horse
enthusiast.
Bill also remembered
working for his neighbors,
who had a Case hand-tie
baler. It used wire to tie the
bales, and he would earn 3
cents a bale, often doing 500
to 600 bales on a good day.
Matthiesen is a 1945
graduate of Everly High
School, where he played a
little basketball. His main
interest, however, was still
The Matthiesen family has won its share of trophies

at horse shows locally and throughout the Midwest.
Bill keeps these trophies in the basement at their
home in rural Wadena.

the Tandem Bareback Class at one
of the many horse shows in which
the Matthiesens participated is
Bill Matthiesen. Bill also routinely
traveled to judge horse shows
throughout the Midwest.
Married for 63 years, Bill and Dona Matthiesen have lived in northeast Iowa since 1962, when
they purchased the Floyd Patterson farm east of Wadena. The couple have five children, 10
grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
horses. One of his favorite

things to do during those
years was race horses with
his younger brother, Jack, at
the Clay County Fair.
After graduating from
high school, Bill went to
work for his sister and her
husband in Dysart, which is
located south of Waterloo.
While helping them farm,
he met a young lady by the
name of Dona Skiles at a
Luther League meeting. He
would also see her from time
to time at some of the different sporting events he attended at Dysart High School.
Later, they began going to
the movies and to dances together.
I was only 16 and a
half years old when he proposed to me. We ended up
getting married on Sunday,
the day our school held the
Baccalaureate ceremony. I
remember I had to be back
the next day to give my valedictorian speech at graduation, related Dona, whose
Bill and Dona Matthiesen were married May 11, 1952, at the Lutheran
church in Dysart. This photo was taken in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary in 2002. The extended family includes (front, l-r)

parents were James and

Helene Skiles.
The couple were married May 11, 1952, at the
Lutheran church in Dysart.
They began farming on the
home farm of Donas parents
in Dysart and rented some
other land as well. They
stayed there for approximately 10 years and began
raising their family there.
Three of their five children
were born near Dysart before
they made the decision to
move to northeast Iowa.
We found a 216-acre
farm just east of Wadena
that was owned by Floyd
Patterson. We moved here
in 1962 and raised some
registered Herefords and a
few pigs. Our main interest
was horses, though, and we
had about 50 head here at
one time, noted the veteran
horseman.
While Bill was busy
running the farm, Dona was
also busy with taking care
of the kids and working. She
got a job at the post office in
Fayette, where she worked
for 17 years. Later she
worked at the post offices in

Wadena and Decorah, bringing her years of employment
for the post office to 42 years,
10 months, and two days.
Life for the Matthiesen
family was filled with raising, caring for, riding, and
showing horses. Every member of the family, which includes five children as well
as Bill and Dona, participated in riding and showing
horses. The Matthiesens
five kids, Rick, Lon, Ronda,
Lorri, and Mimi, all graduated from Valley High School
and have all participated in
horse shows to varying degrees.
We had our own arena
set up here for a while, with
lights from the old Falb dealership in Elgin for night use.
It started out as a fun thing to
do, but we all became more
involved in the competitive
part of it as time went on,
said Matthiesen, who has
multiple trophies and ribbons to show for his familys
involvement in the sport.
Bill and his family
would often travel to various
destinations
throughout
the
Midwest to participate in or judge horse
shows. They have been
to Omaha, Kansas City,
Chicago, and to Des Moines
for the state fair. They also
have been active in local
shows, including Elkader,
Luana, Prairie du Chien, and
Waverly.
There have been a few
memorable
experiences
along the way, not necessarily related to how they did at
the competition.
On one trip, I went to
Hastings, Neb., with our
daughter Lorri, and on the
way back our vehicle broke
down. We were hauling our
horses in a trailer and didnt
know what we were going
to do. When I told a guy in
a caf about our problem,
he offered me the keys to
his vehicle to get to a towing truck in Des Moines. He
didnt even know us but was
willing to help us, which was
pretty amazing, recounted
Bill.
Dona remembered a
time in 1970 when Bill was
gone to a horse show in
Coldwater, Mich. It just happened to be at the same time
as the Wadena Rock Fest,
when approximately 40,000
people descended on the
town for the three-day event.
We had four kids at
home at the time, and I was
working at the post office
in Fayette. Because of the
concert, they blocked off

so I had to
drive all the
way around to
get there. Then at
night, we could hear
the music playing from our
upstairs bedrooms. I had
also heard they had recommended that women and
children should leave town,
so it was a little scary being
alone with four kids, related
Dona.
There were plenty of
positive things to recollect
as well. Dona was selected
to be Rodeo Queen at both
the Prairie du Chien and
Oelwein rodeos and was also
a longtime member of the
Federation of Womens Club.
Bill served as the president
of the Northeast Iowa Saddle
Club Association (NEISCA)
and was a respected judge at
open horse shows throughout the Midwest. Both Bill
and Dona were also active
4-H leaders and members
of the local fire department,
from which they retired after
many years of service. They
are also current members of
the Farm Bureau.

Today, Bill and Dona
stay active as EMS volunteers, which they have been
doing now for over 30 years.
They are retired from the
local fire department after
many years of service. They
also enjoy spending time
with their family, especially
their 10 grandchildren and 12
great-grandchildren. While
they have spent the majority
of their lives being around
horses, the Matthiesen family has definitely gone beyond just horsing around.
The 12 great-grandchildren of Bill and Dona Matthiesen

include (front, l-r) Flynn Walsworth, Madelyn Walsworth,

A lot has been happening to the Dover #4 country
schoolhouse, located north
of Eldorado on Hwy. 150,
since the restoration process
began in November.
Earlier in the fall, a
group of the Friends met at
the school several times to
do yard work. We picked
up sheet metal, wire, broken glass, and old shingles;
cut brush; grubbed stumps;
pulled out wild grapes; and
burned anything that could
possibly be burned in the
process. It showed real teamwork from the Friends.
On one of the occasions,
Steve Story took his motorized brush cutter to the
yard.As he was going along,
he and Niles Boehmler
came upon an old milking
machine compressor halfburied in the ground near a
tree. If Steve would have hit
the compressor, pieces would
still be flying out of the brush
cutter!
Then came the stumps!
Rick
Hofmeyer
and
Niles spent much of the afternoon grubbing, whacking,
and pulling until all but one
won four delegates, not the three that was

reported giving him 82 delegates for the
county convention.
We regret the error.
It was time to s-moo-ch Friday night at halftime of the girls basketball game. In a North
Fayette Valley FFA fundraiser, the winner had to kiss a calf. NF Elementary Principal
Travis Elliott bends over to do the honors. Giving directions at left is Valley Elementary and
NFV Middle School Principal Micah Gearhart. Holding the calf is NFV High School Principal
Todd Wolverton. (Jerry Wadian photo)

Saturday, February 6, 2016, at his home.
A Mass of Christian Burial was held 2:00 p.m.
Tuesday, February 9, 2016, at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
Catholic Church, Lawler with Rev. Nick March celebrating the Mass.
Interment will be in the church cemetery at a later
date. Military honors will be conducted by the Lawler
American Legion.
Friends greeted the family 4:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Monday at the church. Visitation continued an hour
prior to the Mass at the church on Tuesday.
Arrangements are with Hugeback-Johnson
Funeral Home in Lawler.
If so desired, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in the name of
LaVerne Bouska, to the charity of your choice.
LaVerne Charles Bouska was born Aug. 25, 1929, the son of Julius
Michael and Mary Mayme Theresa (Schlichte) Bouska. He was born on the
family farm, south of Waucoma, Iowa.
Verne was baptized and confirmed at St. Marys Catholic Church in
Waucoma.
He also attended schools in Waucoma and Alpha.
In 1951, Verne was drafted into the United States Army, taking basic
training at Camp Breckenridge, Kentucky. He served with the Anti-Tank and
Mine Platoon in Germany for 1 years, spending two years in the U.S. Army
before being honorably discharged.
On October 17, 1953, at St. Lukes Catholic Church in St. Lucas, Iowa,
Verne was united in marriage to the love of his life, Alberta Mary Hackman.
To this union four children were born.
Their first home was east of Waucoma where Verne worked, a year and a
half, as a hired hand for Jack Adams. The couple later rented a farm Southwest
of Waucoma for five years. In 1960, they moved to their farm six miles south
of Lawler, Iowa where they farmed and raised dairy cattle, hogs, and beef.
Verne was active in the Chickasaw County ASCS and in the Chickasaw
County DHIA Association, of which he was the president for many years.
He was a member of Mt. Carmel Parish in Lawler where he was active as
a lay minister and an usher.
Verne was a member of the American Legion Post #279 at Lawler which
included terms of being the Vice Commander and Commander. He carried
the American flag, leading the Dairy Day parade, for many years.
In 1991, the couple retired from farming and moved to Lawler. They
went on several long trips after moving to town and kept on going to dances.
Dancing was a recreation, and a joy, for all their years together.
When living in Lawler, he was a caretaker for the Senior Apartments for
several years. He was an active member of the Senior Citizens group and did
many volunteer jobs including delivering the Meals on Wheels.
He enjoyed morning coffee with the men at the caf in town and playing
cards with friends and walking. The most special thing in his life was his family.
Verne is survived by his wife, Alberta; four children, Kathleen (Chad)
Connelly of Guttenberg, Karen (Robert) Kleve of Clermont, Duane (Lori
Lee) Bouska of St. Olaf and Daryl (Laure) Bouska of rural Waucoma; 15

Anthony memorial service

set for Saturday
David Allan Anthony, son of
Robert and Martha Anthony, was
born on December 30, 1965, in
Ottumwa, Iowa.
David grew up in Fayette, Iowa,
where he was baptized and confirmed in the United Methodist
Church and attended Fayette
Community Schools. David attended his last year of high school in
Iowa City, Iowa, and later attended
Indian Hills Community College in
Ottumwa.
David worked for the Chicago
Central Railroad for two years. He
was employed in the roofing trade for many years, performing demanding work that required strength, stamina, and endurance. He was proud of the work he did putting roofs on
commercial buildings, including structures at The University
of Iowa and a John Deere plant, among many others. In recent
years he worked at the Fayette County Recycling Center in
Fayette, retiring in 2014.
David loved to play the drums and possessed a genuine
talent. While living in Iowa City his last year of high school,
he played with a local band. He continued to meet up with
musician friends on occasion in recent years, to jam and play
music together.
David enjoyed swimming and reading and was a WW II
history buff; he had a deep appreciation for and interest in
Native American cultures and peoples. He enjoyed watching The History Channel, and he rooted for the Minnesota
Vikings and the Iowa Hawkeyes. David loved animals and his
two feline kids were constant companions.
David was happiest when manning the grill preparing
supper. He had an unfailing sense of humor. David was an
intelligent man who possessed a gentle nature and a big heart.
He was often kinder to friends and strangers, than to himself.
David passed away on Saturday, January 30, 2016, at his
home in West Union. He was 50 years old.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Marty
Anthony, and his niece, Jackie Streeter.
He is survived by his sisters, Carol (David) Streeter of
Pawleys Island, S.C., nephew Jason (Caroline) Streeter, N.J.,
and Lisa Anthony and nephews Kamil and Samuel Anthony,
all of Iowa City.
Memorial services for David will be held at 11:00 a.m.,
Saturday, February 13, 2016, at the United Methodist Church
in Fayette, Rev. Hyeunmee Kang officiating.
The family will greet friends for one hour preceding services at the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests friends may make a
donation to your local animal shelter or food shelf or pantry,
in Davids name.
Becker-Milnes Funeral Home in Fayette is assisting
Davids family.

On this Ash Wednesday,

be mindful of mortality
By Pastor Pam Reinig

Illyria Community Church
Our faithful member Alo Yearous was buried in the
Elgin cemetery a bit more than a week ago, following her
funeral service at Illyria Church.
Many of you likely remember Alo
and her late husband, Bill. They
were members of our community
for several decades, each reaching
their 101st birthdays before their
respective deaths.
As part of Alos graveside service, her body was committed to its
final resting place using a version
of the words we find in Psalm 90:
earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust
to dust. These are familiar words; they have been used at
every funeral Ive officiated, and most likely at every one
youve attended.
Today many of you will participate in Ash
Wednesday services in which the sign of the
cross will be made on your foreheads using ashes
created after burning the palms from last Palm
Sunday. This ritual reminds us of the ashes from
St. Peter Lutheran
Eldorado
which we were created. With egos in check, we

Tourism byways discussed with legislators

Representatives
from
around the state participated in the Travel
Federation of Iowa (TFI)
Legislative Showcase on
Jan. 26. Northeast Iowa
Resource Conservation and
Development (RC&D) sent
representatives from the

Driftless Area, River Bluffs,
Delaware Crossing, and
Grant Wood Scenic Byways
to share activities happening
along the byways in northeast Iowa. Legislators were
informed about important
tourism and transportation
matters affecting byways
across the state.
The issue at the forefront
of this years event was growing Iowas workforce and
strengthening economic development in our state. Debi
Durham, director of Iowa
Economic
Development
Authority, along with state
representatives, spoke about
the important role tourism
plays in Iowas economic climate.
Tourism has a significant impact on revenues
generated in Iowa. Research
shows that domestic travelers in Iowa spent $8 billion
in 2014, up 4 percent from
2013. The additional spending contributed $375 million
in state tax revenue and $111
million in local tax revenue.
The tourism industry in Iowa
is also credited for providing
66,500 jobs in the state.
Northeast Iowa RC&D
is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to
recognize opportunities and
provide leadership to make
northeast Iowa a vibrant,
place-based model for the
nation.

A conservation easement is unique to the specific

wishes of the landowner and
the property. The purpose
of an easement is to prevent
future land uses that might
degrade the natural resources. A perpetual conservation
easement ensures permanent

the landowner.
SILT is a relatively new

preserve Iowa farmland to
grow healthful food using

practices that conserve and

Jerry Blue and Chris Norton had an opportunity to meet each other and share some words
recently as Norton was one of the speakers at the Iowa Newspaper Association (INA)
Convention and Trade Show in Des Moines last week. Earlier in the week, the Luther alum
made several other speaking appearances in northeast Iowa. (Zakary Kriener photo)
Norton shares inspirational message
Man on a mission
By Zakary Kriener
Contributing Writer
Editors Note: Chris Norton spoke at the 2016 Iowa Newspaper Association (INA) Convention
and Trade Show kick-off session in Des Moines last week.
Chris Norton is a man on a mission. The 2015 Luther graduate and Altoona native cowrote a book with his father, started a nonprofit fundraising organization called the SCI CAN
Foundation, and travels to various places around the country to address groups of all ages with
his motivational speaking. Norton recently visited students, coaches, faculty, and community
members with speaking engagements at both South Winneshiek Elementary/Middle School
Welcome to our New Patients!
and High School. All of these accomplishments are extraordinary feats for any man or woman,
but what makes Chris story so special?
It was October 16, 2010, in a football game against Central College, recalled the former
standout high school and at-the-time Luther College athlete. I was running down the field on
FREE Local Deliveries FREE Mail-outs 1-800-246-0024 Fayette, IA
a kickoff, just looking to make a play to impress my teammates and coaches. I made a routine
tackle on the returner and ended up on the bottom of a pile of players.
Little did he know, but those few seconds would change Nortons life forever.
I tried to get up when the pile cleared, but couldnt get my body to move. I felt embarrassed. I didnt want the trainers to come out in front of all of the fans, he continued. When
they arrived at me, they rolled me over and I just assumed everything was routine, even as they
called for the ambulance.
It wasnt until Chris heard the trainers and EMT workers page for a helicopter that he
knew something was seriously wrong.
I just shut my eyes and prayed, shared the Norse alum. I kept thinking that this couldnt
be real. All I wanted to do was give the crowd a thumbs-up as I was carted off, but I couldnt
move any of my muscles.
Chris arrived at the Mayo Clinic, where he underwent an MRI scan to determine his injury.
He underwent surgery later that night to repair the two broken vertebrae in his spine.
I can remember talking to my doctor after the surgery, shared Norton. I asked him if I
would ever walk again and he didnt say a word, but I could see it in his eyes.
Chris was later told that he had a 3 percent chance of ever regaining feeling or being able
to move below his neck.
I was not okay with this, revealed Chris. I was not going to be told what I can not do.
Our ATMs are available for transactions 24-7.
The next morning, less than 24 hours after he suffered the life-changing injury, he woke up
and was able to shrug his left shoulder.
That gave me real hope that I can beat this, said Chris. At that point, I made up my mind

that
I
wasnt going to feel sorry for myself. That wouldnt do me any good.

Norton made it a daily goal to work harder every single day. After five days, he began to
563-578-3312
563-425-3395
experience feeling in his chest and legs, and after five weeks, he was able to wiggle his big toe.
I started doing exercises and rehabilitation for one hour each day, said the 23-year-old.
www.fsbsumner.com
I kept working harder and asking for more training until I asked to be moved to four hours of
rehab. The doctors told me that no one had ever asked for that much training.
Even when he wasnt training with nurses, he was working on whatever he could do
while he lay in the hospital bed.
If I did something strenuous, I would
wear myself out and be tired at night, he
shared. It was the nights that I couldnt sleep
that were the toughest. The silence made me
scared and caused me to have doubts. I felt
trapped and claustrophobic.
Norton credits his family and friends for
helping him through his weakest moments.
After seven months in the hospital, Chris
was finally ready to leave. He moved to Des
Moines, where he could get more rehabilitation and training.
In 2011, he moved back to Decorah and
started taking classes again at Luther College.
This was when I realized that I wanted
to make it my goal to walk across the stage
at my Commencement ceremony, he said.
I made it public that this was my goal, so I
would have no choice but to succeed.

facility in Michigan, the inspirational athlete
was back in Decorah for the weekend of his
graduation.
On the night before graduation, I proposed to my girlfriend, Emily, said Chris
with a big smile. I think I was more nervous
for that than I was for the next day.
The next day, the Luther College senior
accomplished the goal that he set of taking
those steps across the stage in front of his
friends, family, and supporters.
A video of Chris walk went viral around
the world, resulting in hundreds of phone
calls and interview requests. Chris and Emily
