New Hampton makes bid for Upper Iowa Conference membership

It took less than five minutes Monday night for New Hampton's School Board to make a decision when it comes to a potential new conference for the Chickasaws.

Board members voted unanimously to send a letter of application to the Upper Iowa Conference, which, if accepted, will end New Hampton's more-than-a-century membership in the Northeast Iowa Conference.

During Monday's meeting, board member Adam Schwickerath shared his thoughts about a community meeting that was led by Superintendent Jay Jurrens last week.

"I would say the general tone from the meeting was a lot the way I felt — everyone's very sad to see the Northeast Iowa Conference go — but this is probably our best option," Schwickerath said. "In the Upper Iowa, we'd still be playing some of the schools we played before. The school sizes are really close to ours. Travel is about the same as we've been doing in the past. … I hate to say it's our only way to go but it is. But I think it's a good way to go."

The Chickasaw County Sheriff’s Office is asking for residents to be on the lookout for an 18-year-old Nashua man who has not been seen since early Wednesday morning.
In a press release that was issued on Friday afternoon, Sheriff Ryan Shawver asked the public to assist in locating the whereabouts of 18-year-old Kaden Ray Wilken, who graduated from Nashua-Plainfield High School this past May.
Shawver said Wilken stands about 6-foot-1 and has blonde hair and blue eyes.
The sheriff said Wilson’s last contact with anyone was around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
Those who have information on Wilken’s whereabouts are asked to call 641-394-3121 or their local law enforcement agency.
