With the regular season officially in the books, the South Winn boys’ and girls’ cross country teams competed at the 2017 Upper Iowa Conference Meet Thursday in Luana.

The Class 1A No. 3-ranked Warrior boys continued to live up to the hype as they took home a conference championship by a narrow two-point advantage over No. 6-ranked Starmont.

Derek Dietzenbach led the way for South Winn, finishing first overall with a time of 17:08.47, while Paul Hageman brought home runner-up honors with a time of 17:25.17.

Joining Dietzenbach and Hageman in bringing home all-conference honors was Paxten DeVilbiss (7th, 18:00.17), Emmett Schwartzhoff (10th, 18:16.50), and Austin Tieskoetter (12th, 19:27.23).

In the girls’ race, the Class 1A No. 4-ranked Warrior girls took runner-up honors with 49 points, behind only No. 2-ranked Kee (38) and ahead of No. 5-ranked Central (61).

Leading the way for South Winn was senior Felicity Taylor who took first with a time of 20:05.34.

The South Winn volleyball squad completed one of its biggest goals of the season as it closed out the 2017 regular season with a 3-0 win over Kee. The win, SW’s 16th of the season, improved its Upper Iowa Conference record to 8-0 as the team gears up for postseason play.

“This was a big match for us because we had a big goal of going undefeated in conference play and beating the Kee Hawks was the last step,” said coach Glenna Munuswamy following the big win. “It was a great battle with the first two sets both going 26-24 in our favor.”

The multi-faceted South Winn offense got going early and often Friday night as the Lake Mills Bulldogs came to town.

A lifelong passion for styling

 

 

 

For Ossian’s own Dianne Hageman, styling hair is something that has always been one of her greatest passions.

“When I was younger, my sister Deb and I would always pretend to be hair dressers,” laughed Hageman, the longtime owner of Dianne’s Beauty Salon in Ossian. “We would part my dad’s hair and each style a side for him.”

As she grew older, the goal to become a hairdresser remained for both Dianne and Deb.

“Deb and I graduated high school together on a Sunday in 1970,” explained Hageman. “The next Monday, we both started beauty school at Area 1 (now Northeast Iowa Community College).

Over the next 10 months of their lives, the sisters logged 2,100 hours of classroom time learning the art of hair styling before graduating in April of the next year.

“October, the month of colorful falling leaves, pumpkins, football, and the infamous pink ribbon. Breast Cancer Awareness Month was established in 1985 to promote mammograms as the best way to detect one of the most prevalent cancers, breast cancer. The pink ribbon soon became the symbol of support for the disease. Since 1985, the declaration has evolved into an annual international health campaign organized to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.”

Those are the words of Elgin’s Brenda Howard, a survivor of the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in women and the second leading cause of death in women.

“Today, breast cancer affects one in every eight women,” continued Howard. “Think about those statistics the next time you’re in a room full of women.”
