Isabella Torkelson of Farmersburg is Clayton County’s first female Eagle Scout. With help from fellow Scouts and family members, the recent MFL MarMac graduate spearheaded a project to improve the drinking fountain in the Farmersburg City Park.

“It’s so crazy to me,” Torkelson commented. “When I first joined, I thought getting my Eagle Scout was never going to happen. But since I was told I’d be the first, I was dead set on making sure I would get it done.”

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has tentatively rescheduled a public meeting to share more information about Pattison Sand Company’s request to dramatically increase water withdrawals at its mining operation near Clayton.

According to Tammie Krausman, chief and public information officer for the DNR’s Communications, Outreach and Marketing Bureau, the meeting previously slated for June has been tentatively planned for Friday, Aug. 22, from 2 to 6 p.m., at the Keystone AEA in Elkader.

Krausman said the delay in the public information meeting was due to responsibilities of the participants as well as ongoing work finalizing the details of a study on the potential impact of Pattison’s proposed water withdrawal.

"The goal is to complete the study before the end of the next fiscal year (June 30, 2026). The allocation increase requested in the application will not be approved until the study is completed and results are finalized,” she explained.
