Suzuki resigns as principal

at DeSales
Therese Suzuki has officially
resigned
from
her
position as
principal
at DeSales
School. The
move
was
effective Friday, Feb. 5,
for the forTherese Suzuk
mer administrator.
Suzuki began her role as
principal of the Catholic school in

August at the start of the 2015-16
school year.
The DeSales school board
had no comment on the reason
for Suzukis resignation.
The board held a closed
meeting Monday night in Ossian
to determine how best to replace
Suzuki in the near term.
Church officials were not able
to be reached for comment on the
future of the administrative role
at DeSales.
The E. Wayne Cooley

Scholarship, plain and simple, is one of the most prestigious scholarships in the
state of Iowa. Established in
1993 as a tribute to E. Wayne
Cooley, former Iowa Girls
High School Athletic Union
(IGHSAU) executive director of nearly 50 years, the
award is given to an Iowa
girl who exhibits excellent
character on the playing
field, in the classroom, in
her school, and in her community.
The recipient reflects
discipline,
perseverance,
character, citizenship, and
leadership all values that
personified the life and
expectations of E. Wayne
Cooley.
This year, 97 girls were
taken into consideration
for the $15,000 scholarship.
Each Iowa high school is
limited to one nomination
of a girl who meets a strict
criteria of educational- and
athletic-based
requirements.
South Winneshiek senior RaeAnn Klimesh was
one of the nearly 100 Iowa
nominees for the prestigious scholarship, who after
being nominated by athletic
director Bruce Gullickson,
later found out that she was
one of the six finalists for
the scholarship.
With the nomination,
I had to submit an essay, my
high school transcripts, and
four letters of recommendation, admitted the young
Warrior scholar and athlete.
She, along with five
other finalists, recently
met at the IGHSAU offices
in West Des Moines for an
interview to determine the
overall winner of the scholarship.
I think the interview
went very well, shared
RaeAnn, the daughter of
Bob and Connie Klimesh
of Calmar. I received a call
later that day, informing me
that I had won. I was so excited, I couldnt believe it!
The requirements to
even be considered for the
Cooley Scholarship are
quite time-consuming and
rigorous, but Klimesh met
and far exceeded the outline of requirements for the
award.
Academically, a student
must hold a cumulative
high school grade point av-
South Winneshiek student RaeAnn Klimesh, a senior cross country

and track athlete, was recently announced as the recipient of one of
the states most prestigious scholarships, the E. Wayne Cooley Scholarship. The scholarship, established in memory of E. Wayne Cooley,
the former Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU) executive director, is a $15,000 scholarship that is given to only one girl all
throughout Iowa who displays excellent character not only in athletics, but also in the classroom, her school, and her community. (Zakary
Kriener photo)
erage (GPA) of 3.75. Klimesh

currently holds a 3.99 GPA
throughout her South Winneshiek career.
Another requirement
for the scholarship is a
minimum ACT score of 25.
RaeAnn also exceeded that
requirement with a 33 on
her ACT.
For Klimesh, who plans
to study business at either
Wartburg or Loras, it was
about breaking the family
mold when it came to extracurricular activities.
My older siblings Andy,
Kelsey, and Allison were ac-
tive in music, student government, and speech, she

revealed. I was the first one
to play sports in our family.
Klimesh continues to
be an example in all of the
athletic endeavors she pursues. She has been a member of three State-qualifying
cross country teams, including one that placed third in
Class 2A last year.
She is also a two-time
State track qualifier, with
another promising season

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
Zachary Kriener won a first-place
award for his sports feature story
Undrafted: Cole Jaeschke because, according to the judges, it

ahead of her this spring.
Her leadership is also something that has prevailed
through her years of athletic participation. Klimesh was a
co-captain on last years cross country team and has garnered many team awards over the past four years in both
sports.
Another important trait that a Cooley Scholarship
winner must exhibit is excellent values in school. Klimesh
has been a member of the National Honor Society since
her sophomore year, and she is also a four-year participant in Students Opposed to Drugs and Alcohol (SODA),
speech, choir, and student government.
The list continues for the scholarship recipient, as
RaeAnn has been in the high school musical for all four
years, including a lead role during her senior year. She also
has been on the Warrior wrestling cheerleading team for
four years, having become the captain this year.
The final area in which a recipient of the E. Wayne
Cooley Scholarship must shine is in the community. RaeAnn has an excellent resume and reputation in the Calmar
and surrounding communities.
Klimesh is a junior member of the American Legion
Auxiliary, as well as a very active member of her parish,
St. Aloysius Church, where she plays piano at Mass. Also
in the community, Klimesh is a member of Christian Family School of Religion (CFSR) and with the Calmar Pool,
where she works as a lifeguard and both coaches and participates on swim team.
I have stayed very busy throughout my high school
years, said Klimesh with a smile. On snow days, when
everything is cancelled, I tend to get a little bored.
RaeAnn will be recognized as the recipient of the
2016 E. Wayne Cooley Scholarship Award winner later this
winter at the Girls State Basketball Tournament in Des
Moines.
I just have to thank all of my coaches, teachers, and
teammates over the past four years, closed Klimesh. I
couldnt do it without all of the people who make up the
South Winneshiek and Calmar communities who have
helped make such a great environment to grow up in.

The South Winneshiek

girls basketball team continued its cold streak as the
end of the regular season
approaches.
Friday, the Warriors

were able to pull away from
the struggling South Winn
team, handing the Warriors
a 51-36 loss at the end of the
contest.
Individual and game
statistics were unavailable
at press time.
The loss dropped the
Warriors to 4-16 on the season.
South Winn played
its final game of the regular season Tuesday night;
however, results and statistics from the mamtchup
against West Central were
unavailable at press time.
Postseason play begins
Saturday for the Warriors
as they will host the Postville Pirates (3-15) in Calmar with tipoff set for 7 p.m.

The Iowa High School Athletic
Association (IHSAA) has released all
boys high school basketball District
matchups, allowing teams to begin
preparing for postseason play.
South Winneshiek landed in
Class 2A District 7 and will play a
first-round matchup against North
Fayette Valley at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
Feb. 15, in Waukon. The Warriors and
TigerHawks, both members of the Upper Iowa Conference (UIC), went 1-1
against each other in the regular season.
The winner of the opening-round

game will go on to face MFL/MarMac
at Dyersville Beckman on Thursday,
Feb. 18.
On the opposite side of the bracket, Clayton Ridge and Waukon are
featured in the first round, with the
winner advancing to play Dyersville
Beckman.
The finals will be held at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Feb. 23, at West Delaware in
Manchester, with the winner advancing to take on the District 8 champion
on Saturday, Feb. 27, in Dubuque.
The senior members of

the Warrior basketball team
all did their part to help the
team pick up an important
late-season win, 77-62, over
the Starmont Stars in Calmar Friday night.
Mitch Herold could
simply not be contained,
as the senior dropped a
career-high 32 points in the
Warrior victory.
With an all-senior
starting five, the Warrior
boys were able to jump out
to an early lead in the contest.
The Warrior offense
attempted 62 field goals
in the game, including 23
from behind the arc, to take
down the Stars.
To put the icing on
the cake for Herolds stellar night, the senior pulled
down 11 boards to give him
a double-double. He also
had six assists in the contest, a team-high, and converted five three-pointers.
Logan
Schweinefus
and Treyton Jacobsen also
hit the double-digit mark
in scoring, grabbing 14 and
11 points, respectively.

Five South Winneshiek

wrestlers will advance to
Districts after Saturdays
Sectional Tournament at
Sumner-Fredericksburg
High School. As a team, the
Warriors placed third overall, missing the mark to advance to Regional Duals by
one spot.
Of the five Warriors
that will compete at the
District Tournament Saturday in Jesup, there were
three champions, including
Rodney Schwartzhoff (132),
Landers Kuboushek (195),
and Anthony Emanuel
(220). Also advancing were
runners-up Paxten DeVilbiss (120) and Manning Kuboushek (182).
DeVilbiss picked up a
7-4 decision over MFL/MarMacs Kordell Ducharme in
the semifinal round before
he lost his championship
match to Kaleb Krall of
Wapsie Valley.
Schwartzhoff won, 9-5,
over WVs Conner Brandt
in the 132 pound semifinals
before he held on to beat
Sumner-Fredericksburgs
Carter Matt, 4-3, in the finals.
At 182 pounds, Manning Kuboushek pinned
WVs Riley Little in the first
period before wrestling one
of the most exciting matches of the day in the finals.
After going three rounds,
the scoreboard between
Kuboushek and S-Fs Jestin
Kime still read 0-0, meaning overtime. In sudden
victory overtime, however,

Kime was able to get a takedown to pick up the win.
Kuboushek pinned Kelby
Reicks early in the first
period in the true secondplace match to secure his
trip to Districts.
At 195 pounds, Landers Kuboushek picked up
his 100th career win by
fall in the semifinal round
with his pin against Jesups
Preston Schaufenbuel. Kuboushek went on to secure
the Sectional championship with a 7-1 decision
over Brock Meyer of S-F.
At 220 pounds, Anthony Emanuel found himself
trailing, 8-0, in his semifinal matchup against S-Fs
Derrick Lenz. A quick takedown, however, followed
by a move that sent the
Cougar wrestler to his back
gave the Warrior senior a
thrilling win to advance
him to the championship
match. In the first-place
match, Emanuel was able
to punch his ticket to Districts after winning a 3-1
decision over Jesups Ryan
Even.
This week, it will be
important to work on some
individual areas, get these
five guys ready to compete,
and to make sure they are
wrestling their best on
Saturday, said coach Jake
Elsbernd following the
tournament. So many unexpected things can happen this time of the year;
we just want to prepare and
stay focused, so that we
arent on the wrong end of
In the 220 pound semifinal round, South Winneshiek senior Anthony Emanuel trailed, 8-0, in the second period before he hit a quick move
to put his opponent on his back and earned the win by fall. Emanuel went on to take first place and advance to Districts in Jesup Saturday,
along with four of his Warrior teammates. (Zakary Kriener photo)

Last July, a decision

was made by the South
Winneshiek school board
to allow members of the
Turkey Valley cross country program, which lacked
participation, to join forces with the Warrior cross
country program. The decision, which moved South
Winneshiek from Class 1A
to Class 2A, yielded immediate results, including a third-place finish for
the girls team at the State
Cross Country Meet last
fall.
The unification of the
two teams was possible
because of a cooperative
sponsorship, a year-by-year
agreement, of both the
boys and girls programs.
With such an agreement,

South Winn received $350
for each boys participant,
with a $1,200 cap; and $350
for each girls participant,
with a $1,200 cap. Those
amounts are determined by
state law.
Earlier this month, the
South Winneshiek school
board reviewed a request
by the Turkey Valley school
board to extend the agreement for another season.
It is definitely a lot
more work for Coach
(Scott) Conway and I, said
coach Kevin Kearney when
asked if it is realistic for
only two coaches to manage that many runners.
We were lucky enough to
have great leadership from
the upperclassmen to help
out.
When making its decision, South Winneshiek

school board representatives inquired about Kearneys preference as to
whether or not to continue
the partnership.
I know I feel this way,
and I think the kids and
Coach Conway feel the
same way, that now we are a
team, he responded. The
kids from both schools
worked very well together
throughout the season, and
I think they were satisfied.
As a coach, I was very impressed.
The board ultimately
passed the motion, ona
3-0 vote (one member abstained from the vote), to
continue the agreement for
the 2016-2017 cross country
season.
With an estimated 3035 athletes returning next

season, both the Warrior
boys and girls teams will
be competitive threats.
On the girls side, South
Winneshiek loses only one
starting runner (RaeAnn
Klimesh, SW) from last
years third-place team at
the State Meet, including
top-10 State finishers Josie
Kriener, SW; Felicity Taylor,
SW; and Shelby Reicks, TV.
On the boys team, one
senior, Juan Uribe, will depart from the Warriors. Returning with an abundance
of experience, the boys will
look to improve on last
season, which culminated
with sophomore Derek Dietzenbach qualifying for
the State Meet as an individual.

Letter of Intent to play football for the Iowa State University Cyclones next
fall. The standout Warrior athlete anticipates playing a hybrid defensive end/
outside linebacker when he suits up for the cardinal and gold. (Zakary Kriener

State, UNI, University of Buffalo,

Northern Illinois, South Dakota
State, and University of North
Dakota.
When asked what he hopes
to accomplish when he suits up
for the Cyclones next fall, Lensing was quick to bring the focus to the overall success of the
team.
I want to become a leader
on the team, he shared. We
will have a lot of big goals, but it
will be about steadily improving
and getting to the point where
we can compete for a Big 12 title.
After playing several positions for the Warriors during his
senior season, including tight
end, running back, defensive
end, and linebacker; Carson anticipates playing primarily defense.
I will redshirt during my
first year on campus, explained
the Warrior. Although I was officially recruited as an athlete, I
will play a hybrid position that
will be a mix of an outside linebacker and a defensive end.
With his decision to continue his playing career with
the Cyclones, Lensing became
Coach Ohrts first player to play
DI football. He joins a small list
of former Warriors to participate at the highest level of college football, including Loren
Gerleman (Iowa, 1981-1982) and
Brian Frana (Eastern Illinois,
2000-2002).
I have a lot of people that
helped me get here, closed
Lensing. My parents, coaches,
and teammates deserve the recognition and are the ones who
helped put me in this position.

Carson Lensing, a senior

athlete at South Winneshiek
High School, made it official as
he signed his National Letter
of Intent to join the Iowa State
University football program
next fall.
Wednesday morning, the
first day that high school football players around the country
are officially eligible to sign with
a team, Lensing submitted his
signature to Matt Campbell, the
new head coach of the Cyclones.
After hearing that Campbell was the new coach, I did a
little thinking on my decision,
admitted Lensing, who was the
first player of the recruiting class
to give his verbal commitment
to former coach Paul Rhoads
last summer. When he made
a special effort to come visit me
very soon after he officially became the head coach, my decision was solidified.
Lensing, who was a Class
1A First Team All-State selection
last year, as well as the Class 1A
All-State captain, had 53 total
tackles for the Warriors last year.
The senior also led the team in
sacks, recording seven.
Carson has been great to
have over the past four years,
praised Warrior football head
coach Jason Ohrt. He has been
an amazing teammate and leader. It has been great to watch all
of his accomplishments, and I
wish him all the best.
Lensing, who will study
agribusiness and/or communications at ISU, also generated
interest from schools such as
