Max Evan Steege, 82, of Swisher, formerly of New Hampton, moved on from this life to the next on Wednesday, June 12, 2019. Per Max’s wishes, there will be no services.
The Turkey Valley baseball team suffered a defeat in their lone contest last week, as Waukon claimed victory on their home field 10-0 in six innings on Wednesday.

After having just one home run all last year, senior Kayla Crooks has hit four in the past seven games and been red hot at the plate. She has been a big reason for New Hampton’s 11-4 start this year.
New Hampton has just lost its second straight game — the first time the Chickasaws had experienced a two-game losing streak in four years — Friday night when coach Cory McDonald laid down the proverbial gauntlet to his seniors.
The New Hampton trapshooting team has possessed a tradition of excellence, and this excellence was displayed throughout the entire season and carried into the state meet this past weekend at Cedar Falls Gun Club.
