Fountain City residents approve staffing change

Fountain City residents voted 201-163 last week to approve a city staffing change. Mayor Ben Adank said the new administrator-treasurer position will create cost savings as well as provide better day-to-day city management and leadership.

FALL CREEK — Three Fall Creek senior athletes put pen to paper Wednesday at Fall Creek High School, inking their commitments to college athletics next year. Miles Schmidgall signed with NCAA Division II Upper Iowa for basketball, while Ethan Westrate signed with DIII Bethel University for baseball and Rylee Winsand signed with Viterbo University for track and field. “It means a lot making it official,” Schmidgall said. “I’ve been dreaming of this since I was probably 3, 4 years old, and it honestly feels surreal that it’s finally happening.” “It’s kind of like a weight off my shoulders,” Westrate said. “I’ve known that I’m just going to make this decision for a while now.
