Monona photographer hopes new studio will be ‘Haven’ for the community

When searching for a studio location, Snitker said, “I knew I wanted at least one large white wall that would be versatile for a lot of different things we’d be doing. But then adding the different textures like brick and ship lap gives me a couple other options, as well as our paper colored backdrops,” she explained. Snitker was also attracted to the building’s wall of windows and open space. (Photo courtesy of Megan Snitker Photography)

Haven had a soft opening at the end of January, with an event for the 2022 Snitker senior spokesmodels. Snitker had her first session in the studio this month. (Photo courtesy of Megan Snitker Photography)

Snitker and her husband, Ethan, did a lot of the building renovations themselves, with help from family and friends.“We ripped pretty much everything down to the studs and then built it out from there, then we’ve had a few different contractors that have come in for things we couldn’t handle,” she said.

State Wrestling 2021: McGeough places third, Decker just off the podium

Submitted by admin on Tue, 02/23/2021 - 14:51

MFL MarMac wrestlers Karter Decker (middle) and Gabe McGeough wrapped up their individual seasons at the Iowa High School Athletic Association State Wrestling Tournament, held last week at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Decker went 1-2, just missing a shot at a medal at 138 pounds, while McGeough placed third at 160 pounds in Class 1A. They’re pictured with head coach Chet Bachman.

After a loss in his first match, sophomore Karter Decker bounced back in the first round consolation match, pinning Lisbon’s Indy Harbaugh in 48 seconds.

For Karter Decker, this season taught him how to overcome adversity. “I had a couple injuries this year I had to battle through, and I had some losses I had to fight back from,” he said. “I had to keep moving through it and not let them get to me.”

Karter Decker said coming up short is tough, but the experience serves as good motivation. “It hurts,” he acknowledged, “but next year I’ll be back down there. I stack myself up really close against all the other kids.”

Junior Gabe McGeough won his opening match by fall over Garrett Quirk of East Sac County, then followed it up with an 8-6 overtime victory against Northwood-Kensett’s Drake Tiedemann in the quarterfinals.

Gabe McGeough lost his semifinal match 3-2, coming just short of the 160-pound finals, but didn’t dwell on it. “I knew, if I got too down on myself, I wasn’t going to be able to come back,” he said. “In 10 years, I want to be able to look back and say I got the next best thing, so that’s all I could think about. Cowboy up and get back on the horse.”

Gabe McGeough defeated Casey Hanson from Lake Mills in the third-place match, avenging a loss in the state dual tournament earlier in the week. “The first time I wrestled him, I got sloppy at the end of the match. This time, I kept my feet moving and kept my pace high. I was ready to go through hell to finish that match with my hand raised,” said McGeough.

For Gabe McGeough, 2021 marked a return trip to the state tournament. He placed fifth at 145 pounds a year ago. Next year, as a senior, he hopes to improve upon this season’s third place finish. “I’ve got one last go, and I’ll give it everything I’ve got,” he said.
