High water results in low boat trafc for Fourth of July weekend ...
One of the wettest months of June ever recorded in Iowa is still impacting area rivers in July, as the main channel of the Mississippi River at
Lansing received very little boat trafc on what normally would be a very busy river weekend during the recent Fourth of July holiday. The photo
above taken Friday, July 4 gives some indication of how high the river levels have risen, as the sandbars located due east of the City of Lansing
Marina (shown in the photo foreground) and typically very populated during the Fourth of July were nowhere to be found during this past holiday
weekend. Although no ooding of the Mississippi River has been reported at Lansing, the National Weather Service reports that the river did reach
a crest of nearly 16.5' on the Fourth of July, about six inches shy of the river's minor ooding stage at Lansing. The high water prompted the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources to issue an advisory June 30 to avoid boating on the Mississippi River the entire length of Iowa's eastern border.

Supervisors approve hiring of Allamakee
County's rst female deputy sheriff
by Bob Beach
After reviewing future
road projects with Allamakee
County Engineer Brian
Ridenour during its regular
meeting Tuesday, July 1,
Board of Supervisors voted
unanimously to reject the
only bid received for the
paving of Prairie Drive west
of Waukon. Though Ridenour
had previously recommended
accepting the bid for the
project, he told the Board
that in light of recent ood
damage, there are too many
"ifs" to go forward with the
project, even though it will
likely be more expensive to
undertake the project later,
noting that it ties in well with
the current paving of West
Ridge Drive. He said that
rejecting the bid of nearly
$1 million will leave more
money available to complete
other projects and to repair
recent damage caused by
heavy rains and ooding.
The Board also met
with Allamakee County
Sheriff Clark Mellick,
who introduced McKenzie
Sebastian of Postville
and asked for the Board's
approval to appoint her as a
Deputy Sheriff. The Board
unanimously approved the
appointment and Mellick
noted that Sebastian is the
rst female Deputy Sheriff
in Allamakee County. The
Board also approved the
hiring of Waukon Police
Ofcer Alyssa Petersburg as
a transport ofcer.
The Board also held a
public hearing regarding a
request by Randy and Patricia
Troendle to rezone property
just west of Lansing from
commercial to residential.
Allamakee County Zoning
Administrator Tom Blake told
the Board that the Planning
and Zoning Commission
had reviewed the request
and recommended approval.
Hearing no comments from
the public, the Board closed
the public hearing and then
approved the rst reading
of an ordinance to make
the requested change to the
zoning map, waived the
second and third readings and
passed the ordinance.
In another zoning-related
matter, the Board set Tuesday,
July 15 at 10 a.m. as the date
and time for a public hearing
on a request to rezone property
off Waterville Road from
agricultural to commercial by
Launee Halvorson to allow
for the construction of a
rental storage facility.
The Board also met
with Peggy Murray of
Iowa Works (formerly
known as Iowa Workforce
Development), who gave
a presentation regarding
the Skilled Iowa Initiative,
highlighting the National
Career Readiness Certicate
(NCRC). Murray explained
that the NCRC is issued by
ACT and is composed of

standardized tests, workers are
issued a credential certifying
their readiness to enter the
workforce. Murrary told the

Waukon City Council hears ooding
concerns from citizens in regard to
Third Street NE and sewer systems
by Bob Beach
The Waukon City Council
was confronted by concerned
and frustrated citizens during
its regular meeting Monday,
July 7. Several of those cit-
izens were residents whose
homes are on or near Third
Street Northeast, which was
recently newly paved. For-
mer Waukon mayor Keith
Schoeder, a resident of that
area, called the project a "di-
saster" because the sidewalk
is now far below the level of
the street, which has resulted
in storm water running into
people's yards, garages and
homes. "I've never seen any-
thing so bad," Schroeder said,
calling the situation "a law-
suit waiting to happen."
Councilmen Trent Mitch-
ell, Don Steffens and Steve
Wiedner all agreed with
Schroeder's assessment of the
situation, though there was
some disagreement as to who
is responsible. Mitchell said
that it may be time to start
looking for a new city engi-
neer, while Steffens said that
the contractor should foot
the bill because "they're the
ones who screwed up." Wied-
ner suggested that a meet-
ing should be arranged with
City Engineer Lyle TeKippe
of TeKippe Engineering to
discuss how to correct the
situation. "We won't let this
stand," Wiedner said.
During department reports,
Water and Sewer Superinten-
dent Bob Campbell reported
that heavy rains have again
caused the sanitary sewer to
back up into people's homes
and businesses. He said that a
ow study and smoke testing
should be done to determine
problem areas, and he was
directed to get cost estimates
for both of those measures.
Campbell also said that man-

Waukon Corn Days celebration
to undergo some enhanced
changes for August 15-17 event
Wa u k o n
will launch
this years
Wa u k o n
Corn Days
End of
S u m m e r
Celebration,
an enhanced
version of the
t r a d i t i o n a l
Corn Days
cel ebr at i on
held each
year. The
2014 event
is scheduled
to include
three days
and nights
of family
enj oyment ,
commencing
F r i d a y ,
August 15 and lasting through
Sunday, August 17.
The trademark of this
event is the Waukon Chamber
of Commerces Annual Corn
Days Meal, but Waukon
Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director Stephanie
Dugan says that with the
help and hard work of many
local businesses this years
celebration is planned to be
extra special.
Once again, the Waukon
Chamber will serve
sweet corn and pork loin
sandwiches as part of that
traditional celebration. In
addition to the meal this year,
planned activities - some new
and some more
traditional - will
include a Corn
Days Parade,
the Crowning
of Corn Days
Junior Royalty,
the Veterans
M e m o r i a l
Hospital 5K
Run/Walk, kids
games, a Classic
Car & Bike
Show, a street
dance, a y-in
breakfast, Park-
It activities, a
penny hunt, an
Aquatic Center
Pool Floaty
Day, and much,
much more.
The Waukon
Chamber will
be releasing in early July a
complete listing of events and
additional information for
this year's Corn Days event.

Stephanie Dugan at the

holes could be lined to reduce
groundwater inltration into
the sanitary sewer at a cost of
$5,000 per manhole, adding
that with over 180 manholes
in the city, the cost would
be more than half a million
dollars. "It all can be xed,"
Campbell said. "All it takes is
money."
Campbell added that his
department's recent inspec-
tions of homes and businesses
for sump pump drainage did
not get very good response,
suggesting that other com-
munities have leveled "pretty
signicant nes" for prop-
erty owners who are not in
compliance with sump pump
drainage requirements set
forth by the City. Campbell
estimated that if 400 homes or
businesses in town discharge
sump pumps into the sanitary
sewer in an eight-hour day,
he calculated that those sump
pumps contribute a minimum
Corn Days Parade
also expanding this year
As part of this year's Corn Days celebration, there will be a
Corn Days Parade through downtown Waukon Friday, August
15, beginning at 7 p.m. Although in previous years this parade
has only been open to classic cars and tractors, this year ev-
eryone is invited to participate with an entry. Those wishing
to enter the parade are asked to be lined up by 6:30 p.m. that
Friday at the Allamakee County Fairgrounds.
The parade route will be the same as in past years, begin-
ning from the Allamakee County Fairgrounds and heading
down Allamakee Street to the stoplight intersection with Main
Street. Turning right on to West Main Street, the parade will
venture up to Second Street NW, where the entries will turn
right at the Post Ofce, travel north on Second Street NW, and
then turn right to travel east on Eighth Avenue NW to head
back to the fairgrounds. For additional information about the
parade contact Chamber Director Stephanie Dugan at the
Waukon Chamber of Commerce ofce, 563-568-4110.
Funding available for Affordable

within the City of Waukon
Its not too late for Waukon
residents to take advantage of
the Affordable Housing Reha-
bilitation Grant for owner-oc-
cupied homeowners in the
City of Waukon. Eighteen lo-

were able to receive.

proximately $80,000 is left in
the program. This program
will nance projects through

Fidelity Bank & Trust
hosting Summer Food
Drive throughout July
Fidelity Bank & Trust is
organizing a summer food
drive to help local food banks
during the months of June
and July. School is out and
kids are home, which can be
a nancial stress on families.
Area individuals are in-
vited to help Fidelity Bank
& Trust ll pantry shelves
and keep food on the table
this summer. Suggested food
include boxed cereal; grano-
la bars; peanut butter; jelly;
single serve fruit, gelatin or
pudding cups; ravioli; spa-
ghetti-o's; tuna; boxed meals;
and fruit snacks.
Those willing to help may
bring their donations to any
Fidelity Bank & Trust at any
time through July 31, in-
cluding the Waukon location
at 820 11th Avenue SW. All
donations will be delivered to
local food banks in the com-
munities Fidelity Bank &
Trust serves.
of 400,000 gallons of water
owing through the sanitary
sewer system, more than half
of the water treatment plant's
normal daily ow, adding to
the load already experienced
during periods of heavy rain.
Jeremy Troendle, Manag-
ing Editor of The Standard
Newspaper, told the Council
that he hoped that the ood-
ing incidents of the past two
summers would call for a
shift in priorities when it
comes to City expenditures,
citing a much wider rumbling
throughout the community
conrmed further by oth-
ers in attendance. City res-
idents and property owners
Pat Bresnahan and Christine
Enyart further pointed out
that in addition to recent in-
vestment in a new re station,
the library expansion project
and the purchase and closure
of the Town and Country
Trailer Court are among proj-
ects being questioned when
there seems to be no funding
for sewer system repairs and/
or maintenance.
Mayor Loren Beneke re-
sponded that while basements
ooding is "uncomfortable,"
it is not a "life-or-death situ-
ation." He said that the new
re station represents an in-
vestment in the safety of the
citizens of Waukon, which
must be the Council's top pri-
ority. He also said that some
of those other larger projects
are fueled by other funding
sources as well, and added
that the weather over the past
two years has been very un-
usual.
During its regular busi-
ness, the Council held a
public hearing regarding the
rezoning request for Innova-
tive Ag Service to accommo-
date expansion of its facility
on the south edge of town.
Mayor Beneke read a writ-
ten objection to the rezoning
submitted by Janet McMillan
of Waukon, who wrote that
she has safety concerns about
Innovative Ag relocating its
anhydrous ammonia facility,
citing the long hours employ-
ees work lling tanks as a
safety concern with handling
the product so close to town.
City Zoning Administrator
Al Lyon told the Council that
there are state level safety
protocols that Innovative Ag
must follow and Police Chief
Phil Young said that there
have never been any serious
problems with anhydrous fa-
cilities at either Agvantage
FS or Innovative Ag.
After closing the public
hearing, the Council voted
unanimously to approve the
rst reading of an ordinance
to change the zoning as re-
quested by Innovative Ag.
In other zoning matters,
the Council approved the
second reading, waived the
third reading and passed
an ordinance to change the
zoning district classication
for property owned by the
Charles Bulman estate. The
Council also waived its right
to review subdivision plats
for Mark Lomen, LeRoy
McCabe and Dan and Nicole
Willis/Dan Denk.
Mayor Beneke also updat-
ed the Council on the instal-
lation of an electronic mes-
sage board downtown, saying
that making power available
for the sign has proved to be
more problematic than ex-
pected. He said that the cur-
rent plan is to use power from
street lights to power the unit.
Street Superintendent Randy
Murphy said that he has been
trying to contact property
owners, without much suc-
cess, to facilitate the instal-
lation of a meter for the sign.
Council reviewed a request
from Richard Christianson to
reduce his water bill, which
was ten times higher than nor-
mal due to a leak. In accor-
dance with the current policy,
the Council agreed to reduce
the bill by 25%, $232.82, but
will review that policy during
its next meeting.

Lansing City Council addresses nuisance issues during regular meeting
Mississippi River Adventure
Day cancelled; alternative
activity planned for July 15
Due to high water and
safety concerns, the Friends
of Pool 9 Board of Directors
has decided to cancel the an-
nual Mississippi River Ad-
venture Day (MRAD) this
year. However, the Board has
planned an alternative expe-
rience for the kids and adult
chaperones who signed up for
the MRAD event.
Friends of Pool 9 will be
offering a trip to the Dubuque
River History Museum Tues-
day, July 15, all expenses
paid, including the charter
bus, entrance fees, and lunch
for the children and their par-
ents.
The group plans to meet the
Sports Complex in Lansing
at 8 a.m. to board the char-
ter bus. The trip to Dubuque
will take about two hours. Af-
ter a tour of the museum and
lunch, the group will get back
on the bus and return to Lan-
sing at around 4 p.m.
Hopefully the river will be
more friendly for the Missis-
sippi River Adventure Day
next year.

The Lansing City Council
met in regular session Mon-
day, July 7. Mayor pro-tem
Becky Conway presided in
the absence of Mayor Mike
Brennan. She read an apol-
ogy from Mayor Brennan for
his absence, citing important
family matters. He also ex-
pressed the necessity of rais-
ing the water and sewer rates.
At 7:05 p.m. Conway
opened the scheduled public
hearing on raising water and
sewer rates. Several residents
in attendance addressed the
Council regarding the issue,
stating they feel the increase
would be a burden to many.
Councilman Dick Roeder
stated that the hardship issue
has been considered and that
a policy will be added to the
new ordinance at a later date.
He also pointed out that the
usage increases in the past
years have not been enough
to cover loan costs, stating
...people have been conserv-
ing water, and the summer
residents dont use that much
water, he said.
Conway reiterated that all
members of the Council are
sorry that the rates need to be
raised, but there are no other
alternatives. She read Ordi-
nance #191 to amend Title
II, Chapter 2 and 3 of the Or-
dinances of the City of Lan-
sing, re-specifying the water
and sewer rates within the
municipality. The new Ordi-
nance provisions include an
increase of water usage rates
by 2% over the established
rates and will increase by
2% each year over the rates
in effect during the preced-
ing year; the base sewer rates
will increase to $30.38 per
month for sewer service plus
$5.14 per 1,000 gallons of
water used; the base rate for
water service will be $21.08
per month plus $4.06 per
1,000 gallons used.
Conway closed the hear-
ing at 7:26 p.m. The Council
approved the ordinance and
the new rates will be effec-
tive August 1, 2014. A second
reading of the Ordinance will
take place at the next Council
meeting July 21.
The Council and Citizens
discussed complaints regard-
ing the use of private property
as mobile home/RV parking
on Dave Swensons vacant
lot in Southtown. Several
residents complained that a
large group of people were
camped on the lot over the
weekend. The lot has elec-
tricity and water hookups to
accommodate two campers,
which is considered a mobile
home park and is prohibited
in the City limits. Council-
man Darling read the current
ordinance that permits camp-
ers to be parked on private
lots but can only be occupied
ten days each month. After
further discussion, it was
determined that the problem
will be presented to the City
Attorney. In the meantime,
Darling said the issue can be
corrected via the Citys nui-
sance ordinance; Police Chief
Ed Stahl will talk to the prop-
erty owner.
The Council discussed
complaints from the pub-
lic that the Properties at 650
South Second Street and 631
South Front Street are in vio-
lation of the nuisance ordi-
nance. Foliage is overgrown
and junk cars are stored on
the property. The owner has
been notied by the City
several times with no result.
The Council agreed to move
forward with the appropriate
abatement procedure.
Council reviewed and ap-
proved Lions Club requests
for Fish Days. The Council
also reviewed Terisa Steibers
request to have horses on the
Chris Koch property (977 W.
Main) as in the past. Council-
man Kolsrud suggested the
neighbors within 300 feet be
notied and allowed to voice
their opinions.
The Council also discussed
a request from Gene Shogren
to plant a tree on Mt. Hosmer
in memory of his wife, Joyce.
The Council agreed to the re-
quest, pending the agreement
of Shogren, the American
Legion, Kerndt Brothers Sav-
ings Bank and landscaping
expert.
A Public Hearing date for
special assessments on the
North Front Street Water and
Sewer Project was set for Au-
gust 4, 2014.

PROTECT CHILDREN
FROM BITING INSECTS
AND TOO MUCH SUN
Kids and long summer days
mean a lot of opportunities
for outdoor fun, as well as
insect bites and sunburn. Here
are some tips for protecting
children from biting insects
and too much sun.
When using insect
repellents on children, follow
these guidelines. Mosquitoes
may bite through thin
clothing, so spraying clothes
with repellent containing
permethrin or another EPA-
registered repellent will give
extra protection. Do not
apply repellents containing
permethrin directly to skin.
Do not spray repellent on
the skin under clothing. Also
important, do not apply insect
repellents to childrens hands
and be sure to read and follow
label directions.
For repellents with DEET,
do not use on infants less
than two months old. For
older children use products
with the lowest concentration
of DEET that corresponds
with the time spent outdoors.
DEET 10 percent usually
lasts for about one to two
hours, while DEET 30
percent generally lasts three
to four hours. An alternative
to DEET is a product called
picaridin. And remember,
apply sunscreen rst, then the
repellent.
When children return
indoors, be sure to wash
childrens treated skin with
soap and water. A fresh
change of clothes and a bath
are even better yet!
There are ways to avoid
using chemicals to ward
off biting insects. Mosquito
netting can be used over
infant carriers. When weather
permits, wear long sleeves,
long pants and socks when
outdoors. Avoid clothing with
bright colors or owery prints.
Dont use scented soaps,
perfumes or hair sprays.
Avoid areas where insects
nest or congregate, such as
garbage cans, stagnant pools
of water, uncovered food and
blooming owers. You can
also help reduce the mosquito
population by getting rid of
standing water.
Take care when children
are in the sun. Avoid the sun
during midday and everyone
should wear a hat and sun-
protective clothing. Use a
broad spectrum sunscreen
with SPF 30 or higher. Infants
under six months should
be kept out of the sun and
always consult a pediatrician
before using sunscreen on an
infant. Do not use products

Waukon FFA Floriculture team receives gold rating ...
traveled to Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids to participate in a variety of
Career Development Events (CDE). The Floriculture team, made up of (left to right in
above photo) Sabrina Duvel, Krystal Johnson, Hope Manning and Nicole McGeough,
received a gold rating and ninth place overall. This CDE contest is intended to stim-
ulate study and interest in the production and retailing of flowers, plants and leaves
through the Agriculture Education curriculum. The first two phases of this CDE are a
test on general knowledge and plant identification, with the third phase being floral
design, which evaluates the participants ability to create and package a corsage.
Phase four is greenhouse production, where participants are asked to observe and
interact with ten stations and answer questions about them. Phase five is pesticide
use and application focusing on selection, handling and health, in addition to being
able to solve problems and make decisions. Phase six is the team event where each
team performs a task in the Floriculture industry that requires team work. Submitted

Taking a dog for a walk is
now not only good for a per-
son's health and their dog,
it can now raise money to
support all pets at local ani-
mal shelters. The "Take your
Walk for a Dog" program is
a revolutionary dog-powered
fundraising tool for animal
shelters that uses a free mo-
bile App to promote healthy
pets and healthy humans
while raising money to sup-
port local shelters.
The Humane Society of
Northeast Iowa (HSNEI) is
partnering with WoofTrax,
Inc., to introduce and pro-
mote the App in this area.
You walk your dog anyway,
says Mike Katz, Director of
Community Relations for
WoofTrax. Now, for every
mile you walk, we donate to
HSNEI.
Whether walking a dog or
by oneself, the App is a way
to keep track of those walks,
encouraging people to walk
more every day. In addition
to the health benets, walkers
also now have the satisfaction
Support HSNEI by
walking the dog
of knowing that their walking
directly benets their local
shelter.
One of the key develop-
ers of the "Take your Walk
for a Dog" program is the
WoofDriver, a world fa-
mous dog-powered sporting
lifestyle expert. WoofDriver
focuses on new and exciting
ways to exercise, train and
spend time with dogs.
The local community can
now support HSNEI simply
by walking their dogs. Pro-
ceeds directly benet the
many homeless animals that
come to the local shelter each
year and support the ongoing
work that the local shelter
does in the northeast Iowa
counties of Allamakee, Clay-
ton, Fayette, Howard and
Winneshiek.

Waukon baseball team wins one of four in pair of NEIC doubleheaders
The Waukon baseball team
worked to snap what had be-
come a 13-game losing streak
this past week, picking up
a single win in four games
played as the regular season
begins to wind down. The
Indians opened the week suf-
fering a doubleheader road
sweep in Northeast Iowa
Conference (NEIC) play at
Decorah by scores of 3-0 and
11-0 in ve innings Tuesday,
July 1 before splitting anoth-
er NEIC doubleheader at Oel-
wein Thursday, July 3, falling
by a 13-3 result in six innings
and pulling out an 11-6 vic-
tory.
The Indians currently hold
a 4-21 record on the season
that includes a mark of 2-11
in Northeast Iowa Confer-
ence play.
The Indians were also
scheduled to play Charles
City Monday, June 30 at
Riceville in a game already
rescheduled from Friday,
June 27, but rainy weather
once again moved that game,
this time to Tuesday, July 15
and back to Charles City. Pri-
or to that regular season-end-
ing make-up game, the base-
ball Tribe is scheduled to host
Class 2A 10th-rated New
Hampton Tuesday, July 8 and
then Crestwood Friday, July
11 before beginning post-
season tournament play in
Oelwein Friday, July 18 at a
time and against an opponent
yet to be released by the Iowa
High School Athletic Associ-
ation.
at Decorah ...
The baseball Indians ran
into a streaking Decorah club
when they traveled to the
home of the Vikings Tues-
day, July 1, but continued an
unfortunate streak of their
own limited offense in being
swept in the Northeast Iowa
Conference doubleheader.
The Tribe diamond dwellers
managed a total of just three
hits in the two games, all of
those coming in an 11-0 loss
in ve innings in game two
after having a no-hitter tossed
at them in a 3-0 game-one
loss.
Decorah junior Colin Nim-
rod was responsible for si-
lencing Waukons bats in that
3-0 rst-game Indian loss,
being just one batter shy of
a perfect game. Junior center
elder Jake Ronan spoiled
that perfect game effort early
on when he drew a rst-in-
ning walk to become the only
Indian baserunner of the con-
test, as Nimrod sat down nine
of the 22 Indian batters he
faced on strikes.
Indian sophomore pitch-
er Haden Hammel did not
fare too badly in the loss,
as he only allowed six hits
and struck out ve Vikings,
but also walked four batters.
Three of those free passes
came right away in the open-
ing frame and were com-
pounded by a wild pitch to
tally Decorahs rst run.
The host Vikings added
another run each in the third
and fourth innings. A hit bat-
ter followed by a stolen base
and a run-scoring single im-
proved the Decorah lead to
2-0, with another base on
balls being followed by a sin-
gle and run-scoring double to
make for a 3-0 Indian decit
through four complete in-
nings. Indian defense settled
in to keep the host Vikings
in check for the remainder
of the game, but their offense
couldnt nd an answer for
Nimrod, leaving the Tribe on
the short end of the 3-0 end
result.
The Indian bats nally
broke their silence against the
Vikings in game two, but only
to the tune of four hits. Those
four hits were no match for
the 10 hits that Decorah ham-
mered out in just three in-
nings, nine of those coming
in just two frames where the
host Vikings tallied ve and
six runs to deal the Tribe an
11-0 defeat in just ve in-
nings.
After a scoreless, three-up,
three-down exchange in the
opening frame, the Indians
popped for two of their four
hits in the top of the second
frame to produce their big-
gest offensive threat of the
contest. After sophomore
third baseman Chris Miller
drew a lead-off walk, junior
rst baseman Sully Bucheit
and senior left elder Parker
Hesse stroked back-to-back
singles to load the bases. A
elders choice in junior des-
ignated hitter Brock Waters
at-bat put Miller out at home
before the next two Indians
struck out to deny that Indian
opportunity.
Turning away that Indian
uprising seemed to set re
to Decorahs bats as well,
as they hammered out three
consecutive doubles and took
advantage of a hit batter with
a consecutive pair of singles
to erupt for a 5-0 lead through
two complete innings. The
Vikings knocked around four
more singles and beneted
from two more free passes in
the fourth inning to improve
their standing to 11-0 through
four frames.
Even though the Indians
got another single in the top
of the ensuing inning from
sophomore center elder Ha-
den Hammel, they could not
avoid a mercy-rule ending to
the contest, Decorah turning a
double play and then striking
out the nal Waukon batter to
seal the 11-0 Indian loss in
ve innings. The only other
Indian hit of the contest came
in the third inning, a two-out
single from Miller that only
left him stranded as well.
Junior Jake Ronan suffered
the pitching loss, giving up
nine hits and 10 earned runs
while walking one batter and
striking out another. Hesse
nished up the games nal
two-thirds of an inning, al-
lowing one hit and one earned
run while walking two batters
and striking out one.
at Oelwein ...
The baseball Indians -
nally ended a losing skid
at the traditionally unlucky
number of 13 when they trav-
eled to Oelwein Thursday,
July 3. The Tribe suffered a
13-3 mercy-rule loss in just
six innings in game one, but
bounced back to nally snap
that streak with an 11-6 win
in the nightcap.
Limited offense contin-
ued to be a problem in the
opening game of the Indians
twinbill at Oelwein, as the In-
dians managed just three hits
against the Huskies in that
rst contest. Two of those hits
were combined with some
free passes from the host
Huskies to put some Indian
runs on the board, although
not enough to avoid a 13-3
defeat in six innings.
Those two productive safe-
ties came in the third inning
for the Tribe, which actually
began with a walk drawn by
junior designated hitter Brock
Waters and senior rst base-
man Sam Schwartz being hit
by a pitch. A single by eighth
grade left elder Mitch-
ell Snitker lled the bases
with Indians before a eld-
ers choice in junior catcher
Adam Benzings at-bat drove
both Waters and Schwartz
home and a single by junior
center elder Jake Ronan tal-
lied Adam Benzing for the
Indians only three runs of the
contest.
Prior to that lone produc-
tive frame for the Tribe, the
host Huskies had already built
an 8-0 headstart, splitting
those runs equally between
the rst and second innings.
Four singles, an Indian error,
one walk and two passed balls
accounted for a quick 4-0 In-
dian decit in the rst inning,
with three more singles, three
walks and a elders choice in
the second inning accounting
for the other half of that early
8-0 Oelwein advantage.
The Huskies fell silent in
the Tribes lone run-scoring
inning, but returned to scor-
ing form for another run in
the fourth inning on two sin-
gles and a walk and added two
more runs on two walks, two
singles and an Indian error in
the fth inning. The nishing
touches on the mercy-rule
loss for the Tribe came in the
sixth inning when Oelwein
drew another lead-off walk
and coupled that with a hit
batter, a elders choice and
a game-ending single that
drove in the nal run in the
13-3 Indian defeat.
The only other hit the In-
dians managed in the contest
came in the second inning
when junior pitcher Sully
Bucheit punched a one-out
single but was later retired
for the third out in the inning.
Aside from that run-produc-
ing third frame, the Indians
couldnt manage to bring
more than three batters to
the plate in any of the games
other ve innings.
Bucheit was tagged with
the pitching loss, giving up
seven hits and ve walks with
no strike-outs in one and two-
thirds innings. Senior Tyler
Benzing came on for two and
one-third frames, allowing
three hits and three walks,
with junior Landon Sivesind
nishing up the games nal
inning and one-third to allow
two hits and one walk.
The Indian baseball bats
nally came alive in game
two of the Oelwein double-
header, as the Tribe pounded
out more hits (12) in that one
contest than it had in its previ-
ous six games combined (8).
The Indians jumped on the
host Huskies early for more
than half their game-winning
total in the rst inning, and
then responded to a method-
ical Oelwein comeback effort
with one nal-inning surge to
secure the 11-6 victory.
This was the most com-
plete game that weve played
all season, Waukon base-
ball coach Jerry Keenan said
about his teams victory.
That initial Indian outburst
in the rst inning got its start
from a lead-off single from
eighth grade right elder
Mitchell Snitker, who took
second on a passed ball, was
joined on the basepaths when
junior center elder Jake
Ronan was hit by a pitch, and
then scored on an error in
sophomore designated hitter
Chris Millers at-bat to draw
rst scoring blood. A string
of four consecutive Indian
hits kept the Indian offensive
merry-go-round in motion,
as junior rst baseman Sul-
ly Bucheit singled in Ronan,
senior shortstop Parker Hesse
smacked a double to drive
in Miller and Bucheit, and
junior third baseman Brock
Waters singled in Hesse to
make for a 6-0 Indian head-
start once that opening-frame
dust settled.
Oelwein got some help in
responding to that initial Indi-
an surge, having back-to-back
batters hit by pitches before
a run-scoring single got the
Huskies on the board at 6-1
at the end of the rst inning.
The Indians got that initial
run back right away in the top
of the second, as junior pitch-
er Adam Benzing cracked a
lead-off single, advanced on
an error in Millers at-bat and
then scored on a sacrice y
off the bat of Bucheit to push
the Tribe to a 7-1 advantage.
The Huskies responded
once again, however, getting
help from two walks that
were complemented nicely
with two singles to push two
runs home and cut the Indi-
an advantage to 7-3 through
just two complete innings. A
scoreless exchange ensued in
the third inning, and the Indi-
ans remained in that unfortu-
nate trend for the next three
frames as well, while Oel-
wein continued to chip away
at the Indian lead.
The host Huskies took ad-
vantage of a lead-off Indian
error with two singles for one
run in the fourth inning, and
got help from two hit bats-
men, a single and a sacrice
y to tack on another tally
in the fth. Two singles in
the Oelwein half of the sixth
frame pulled the host squad
within a run, 7-6, before the
Indians nally found their of-
fensive groove once again.
That groove turned into a
gouge, as the Indians wrapped
a pair of singles from Miller
and Hesse around an error in
Bucheits at-bat, Miller scor-
ing on a passed ball before
Hesses single drove Bucheit
home to improve Waukons
standing to 9-6. Junior left
elder Marshall Lyons and
Snitker then drew back-to-
back walks with two outs
before a single from Adam
Benzing brought both Hesse
and Lyons blazing home to
push the Indians to an 11-6
advantage before their turn at
the plate was ended.
Indian defense rode that
nal wave of momentum cre-
ated by its offensive counter-
part, retiring Oelweins rst
three batters of the seventh
inning in order to seal the
11-6 Indian victory.
Bucheit helped paced the
Indian hit parade with two
singles in three at-bats for
two runs scored and two driv-
en in, with Hesse knocking
a double and a single in four
at-bats for three RBI and two
runs scored as well. Adam
Benzing also notched two
singles in ve at-bats, driv-
ing in another pair of Indian
runs and scoring a run, with
Miller, Waters and Lyons also
each driving in a run, Waters
stroking three singles in four
trips to the plate.
Starting pitcher Adam
Benzing secured the pitch-
ing win, being credited with
just one inning on the mound
and giving up two hits and
two walks with no strike-outs
on the way to allowing three
earned runs. Junior Landon
Sivesind came on for three
innings of middle relief to al-
low four hits two runs - one
of them earned - while post-
ing no walks or strike-outs.
Sophomore Haden Hammel
nished the games nal three
frames, giving up two hits
and one walk while striking
out three batters and allow-
ing the host Huskies just one
earned run.

Iowa DNR advises caution as
river levels fall and boaters
return to Iowas waterways
With heavy rains and high
water likely causing a delay
in the peak of Iowas boating
season, boaters and other on-
the-water recreationists are
urged by the Iowa Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR) to observe safety rst
on or near their favorite lake
or stream.
Traditionally, the Fourth of
July weekend is the busiest
period on Iowa waters. But
with recent heavy rains caus-
ing Iowa waterways to swell
out of, or nearly out of, their
banks, the Iowa DNR issued
a boating advisory on the
Mississippi River to begin the
month of July, keeping boat-
er trafc at a bare minimum
for the typically water-busy
Fourth of July holiday.
Boating, paddling, shing
and swimming are even more
popular with what are typi-
cally the warmest tempera-
tures of the year during the
month of July. Before boaters
set out, though, they need to
take action to help make sure
everybody stays safe.
We urge boaters, includ-
ing passengers, to remain
alert to activity around them,
advises Susan Stocker, boat-
ing law administrator for
the Department of Natural
Resources. Dont overload
your craft. The U.S. Coast
Guard, along with manufac-
turers, determines the capac-
ity of each boat and it is visi-
ble on virtually all boats.
Operators can brush up on
rules and regulations, by tak-
ing the DNR boating safety
course. Iowa law requires any
person 12-17 years old who
will operate a motorboat over
ten horsepower or a person-
al watercraft to successfully
complete the education pro-
gram. It is available online
at www.iowadnr.gov/Recre-
ation/Boating/BoaterEduca-
tion.aspx.
Stocker reminds every-
one on board that they need
a properly tted lifejacket.
Safety ofcials also urge
boating enthusiasts to actual-
ly wear those lifejackets.
It is similar to seat belts
on the road. You wont have
time to grab it and put it on
when facing an emergency
situation, she said.
Other lake or river enthu-
siasts - from paddlers and an-
glers to swimmers - can avoid
problems, too, by wearing a
lifejacket, especially during
heavy periods of boat trafc.
With the variety of activities
out there, a life jacket pro-
vides added safety while you
are enjoying yourself, said
Stocker.
The effects of sun, waves
and wind over a day on the
water are tiring, especially if
alcohol is involved. Alco-
hol has a dehydration effect.
It can impede judgment,
warns Stocker. Last year,
65 percent of Iowas boating
fatalities involved alcohol.
Boating while intoxicated is
against the law. A sober des-
ignated boat operator is vital
on board.
In Iowa, there are more
than 235,000 registered
boats. Many of them will be
out over the coming week-
ends as water levels continue
to fall. With everyone aware,
everyone stays safer while
they are out enjoying Iowas
waterways.
BOATING TIPS TO KEEP
IOWAS WATERWAYS
SAFER DURING BUSY
BOATING SEASON
Dont drink and operate
a boat
Take a boating safety
course
Always wear a lifejacket
- it cant work if its not on
Have a throwable oata-
tion device on board
Review boating laws
Remember, youth under
age 13 are required to wear
a lifejacket while the boat is
underway
Have patience and be
courteous on the ramp and
water
Get a weather forecast
before heading out
Keep watch for other
boaters, swimmers, skiers,
debris or other obstacles in
the water
Have a fully charged, us-
able re extinguisher
Maintain the boat trailer
(lights, wheel bearings, tires)
Have a working horn or
whistle
Prepare a boat in the rig-
ging lane prior to launching
Dont operate in a care-
less or reckless manner
Dont violate buoys, as
they are the road signs of the
water.

Check water quality for
recreation activities after
periods of heavy rain
Despite heavy rainfall in
central and northeast Iowa
causing some wastewater re-
leases, the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources expects
that a few sunny days will
likely drop bacteria levels in
lakes and other recreational
waterways.
In lakes, bacteria levels
from water samples taken
earlier this week are elevat-
ed a bit in places, said Mary
Skopec of the Iowa Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR) beach monitoring
program. In lakes, if weve
had some sunny days, the
risk of getting ill is much
lower. Bacteria attaches to
sediment, so in lakes, sun-
light penetrates the water and
kills the bacteria after the
sediment settles out.
The DNR checks bacteria
and algal toxins (mycrocys-
tin) levels at all state park
beaches, and at participating
city and county beaches at
least once per week between
Memorial Day and Labor
Day. We are sampling twice
at some locations this week
because of heavy rainfall
and elevated bacteria levels,
Skopec said.
To nd test results by lake,
search for beach monitoring
at www.iowadnr.gov or call
the Beach Hotline at 319-
353-2613.
As always, the DNR rec-
ommends not ingesting the
water, rinsing off after swim-
ming and washing hands
before eating. Fish are safe
to eat, but its a good idea to
rinse them before cleaning.
Generally, people and pets
should avoid contact with
ood waters for at least 24 to
48 hours after ooding ends
because bacteria levels could
be elevated.
Wastewater discharges
have been reported through-
out central and eastern Iowa
after heavy rains. When soils
are saturated, additional rain-
fall can overwhelm collection
and treatment systems, caus-
ing discharges. Cities may
also intentionally discharge
wastewater after intense
rainfall to prevent basements
from backing up or to protect
the treatment plants.
BE CAREFUL AROUND
STREAMS AND RIVERS
The bigger risk of dan-
ger is on Iowas rivers and
streams. If the waters up
and roaring, stay out of it,
said Mary Skopec of the
DNRs beach monitoring
program.
When water visibility is
poor, the main concern is
being able to see someone
to rescue them if they get in
trouble while in the water,
she said. High current, trees
and other obstacles may pose
a risk for boaters, paddlers
and waders.

Waukon softball team closes out regular season falling short in ve games
The Waukon softball team
wrapped up its regular season
in less than desirable fashion,
sliding in each of its nal ve
regular season games this
past week to nish the season
on a seven-game skid. The
Indians dropped a Northeast
Iowa Conference double-
header to New Hampton in
their nal home contest of the
season by scores of 7-3 and
13-5 Tuesday, July 1 before
suffering an 8-0 loss at Class
1A 15th-rated Kee Wednes-
day, July 2. The softball Tribe
then brought its regular sea-
son to a close with another
Northeast Iowa Conference
doubleheader sweep suffered
at Crestwood Thursday, July
3 by scores of 5-1 and 10-0 in
six innings.
The Indians nished up
their regular season with
a 7-24 overall record that
includes a 2-16 mark that
placed them seventh in the
nal Northeast Iowa Confer-
ence standings.
The Indians are scheduled
to return to Crestwood Tues-
day, July 8 for the rst round
of Class 3A Regional Tour-
nament play. Details of the
Tribes postseason tourna-
ment trail are published in a
shaded box elsewhere on this
same Sports page.
vs. New Hampton ...
A couple of big innings
took the Indians out of con-
tention when they hosted
New Hampton Tuesday,
July 1 for a Northeast Iowa
Conference doubleheader. A
three-run seventh frame led
the softball Tribe to a 7-3 loss
in game-one of the twinbill,
with a nine-run sixth inning
in game two factoring heavily
into a 13-5 nightcap loss.
The combination of giving
up some offense late and not
nding their own offense un-
til it was too late proved to be
decisive factors in the softball
Indians 7-3 rst-game loss to
New Hampton. The Indians
mustered only four hits in the
contest, all of them coming
within the nal three innings
and only one factoring into
any scoring for the Tribe.
The two teams were locked
in a tight battle early on in the
contest, exchanging scoreless
opening innings before New
Hampton popped for a single
run in each of the second and
third frames on a double and
ground-out initially and then
a pair of third-inning singles
for a 2-0 headstart. The In-
dians answered back direct-
ly in the bottom of the third,
getting some Chickasaw help
when senior center elder
Kiersten Christianson was
hit by a pitch, junior short-
stop Allie Schwartz drew a
walk, freshman left elder
Erika Johnson reached safe-
ly on a elders choice that
outed Christianson at third,
and sophomore second base-
man Kaley Benzing reached
on an error that scored both
Schwartz and Johnson to tie
the scoreboard knot at 2-2.
Another scoreless ex-
change ensued for two more
innings, until New Hampton
took advantage of an Indian
error with a single and a two-
run double to bolt ahead once
again, 4-2, in the top of the
sixth frame. With the Tribe
still struggling to produce
any offense, the Chickasaws
tacked on a trio of insurance
runs in the top of the seventh
inning via a walk, a single and
a three-run home run for a 7-2
New Hampton advantage.
Although the Indians nal-
ly pounded out three of their
four hits in response in the
bottom of the seventh inning,
the only one that counted was
a solo homerun by freshman
designated player Emma
Johnson. The rst-year varsi-
ty contributor unleashed that
single-run bomb with one out
to pull the Indians within a
7-3 count. Despite a single
by Schwartz and an ensuing
double by Erika Johnson with
two outs, the Indians would
pull no closer, as the next
Indian batter went down on
strikes to leave both runners
in scoring position with the
7-3 scoreboard tally looming
as the nal result.
In addition to her sev-
enth-inning single, Schwartz
also connected on a fth-in-
ning single for the Tribes
only other hit of the ball-
game. The Indians managed
baserunners in six of the
games seven innings, as they
also drew four walks on the
night, but could not take full
advantage of that Chickasaw
generosity.
Junior Thea Meyer was
tagged with the pitching loss,
allowing 10 hits and four
walks in seven complete in-
nings.
Another fairly tight ear-
ly battle played out in game
two of the double-dip, with
the two teams locked in a
4-4 scoring knot through ve
complete innings. But New
Hampton erupted for a nine-
run sixth inning that proved
decisive in the 13-5 Indian
nightcap loss.
It was New Hampton that
struck rst in this second
game as well, but only man-
aging a pair of second-inning
runs on three singles and a
passed ball. The Indians did
not have a response until the
fourth inning, nally getting
their rst hit of the ballgame -
a one-out single by freshman
left elder Erika Johnson,
and getting some help from a
New Hampton error in junior
rst baseman Jackie Welchs
at-bat to plate Erika Johnson
and pull the Indians within a
2-1 scoreboard result.
New Hampton answered
right back, however, con-
necting for a single, a double
and a sacrice y for anoth-
er pair of runs and a 4-1 lead
midway through the fth
frame. The Indians had a
much more direct and signif-
icant response in the bottom
of the same frame, freshman
third baseman Regan Wasson
leading that inning off with
a single and freshman desig-
nated player Emma Johnson
reaching on an error. Was-
son scored on a passed ball
before junior shortstop Allie
Schwartz drove in Emma
Johnsons pinch-runner,
sophomore Emily Hammel,
with a double. Erika Johnson
then drove Schwartz home
with her second single of the
ballgame, knotting the score
at 4-4 through ve complete
innings.
New Hamptons reaction
to that score tying was a
nine-run eruption in the top
of the sixth inning. After a
lead-off error, the Chicka-
saws pounded out seven sin-
gles and two doubles to bolt
ahead once again to a 13-4
result. The only response the
Indians could muster was a
single run in the bottom of
the seventh inning when se-
nior center elder Kiersten
Christianson belted a one-
out double, took second on a
ground-out by Erika Johnson
and then scored on a passed
ball, only serving to nalize
the games 13-5 end result in
New Hamptons favor.
Erika Johnson paced the
Indian offense with two sin-
gles in four at-bats, driving in
one run and scoring another.
Schwartz and Christianson
each hammered out doubles,
Schwartz also driving in a run
and scoring one of her own.
Sophomore Leslie
Sivesind suffered the pitch-
ing loss, giving up one walk
and 21 hits while striking out
three batters.
at Kee ...
The softball Indians were
limited to four hits, but
could not piece them togeth-
er in falling by an 8-0 re-
sult at Class 1A 15th-rated
Kee Wednesday, July 2 in a
non-conference intra-county
battle. The Tribes defense
was also fairly generous in
committing six errors, four
of those directly resulting in
seven of those Kee runs.
None of the Indians four
hits came in the same inning,
as senior catcher Jenna Jones
popped a second-inning sin-
gle, junior shortstop Allie
Schwartz belted a third-in-
ning double, freshman des-
ignated player Emma John-
son stroked a lead-off single
in the sixth and sophomore
second baseman Kaley Ben-
zing knocked a single of her
own to lead off the seventh.
Schwartzs double followed a
walk drawn by Emma John-
son, and Benzings single was
followed by a walk drawn by
Welch, but none of those six
Indian baserunners could nd
their way home.
While Kees defense kept
the Indians well in hand, In-
dian defense was consider-
ably more helpful to the host
Hawks. After a pair of singles
to score a run in the rst, three
Indian errors and a walk were
taken advantage of by a sin-
gle and double in the second
frame to extend Kees lead to
5-0. After settling in to deal
out a pair of scoreless mid-
dle innings, Indian defensive
trouble re-emerged, allowing
a lead-off batter to reach and
then score in the fth inning
before doing likewise in the
sixth frame, with a single and
double adding a second run in
that nal Kee at-bat to solidi-
fy the 8-0 Indian loss.
Junior Thea Meyer was
handed the pitching loss,
scattering nine hits and walk-
ing two batters but also be-
ing victimized by six Indian
errors in giving up just one
earned run out of the eight
tallied by the host Hawks.
at Crestwood ...
The offensive struggles
continued for the Indian dia-
mond dwellers in their nal
regular season date of this
2014 season, as the Indians
were held to just ve hits
combined in two games of a
doubleheader at Crestwood
Thursday, July 3. Being re-
tired in order in ve of the
twinbills 13 innings, the
Indians had just one inning
where they brought more
than four batters to the plate
in suffering losses of 5-1 and
10-0 in six innings.
The Indians managed just
three hits and six total bas-
erunners in falling by a 5-1
count in game one of their
doubleheader with Crest-
wood. Defensive miscues
also fueled four of the ve
runs scored by the Cadettes.
Sophomore second base-
man Kaley Benzing managed
two of the Tribes three hits
in the contest, singles in both
the second and fourth innings.
Her fourth-inning single was
preceded by a lead-off walk
drawn by senior center eld-
er Kiersten Christianson,
who then scored after Ben-
zings single was followed
by the Tribes only other hit
of the contest, a single by ju-
nior designated player Jack-
ie Welch for the lone Indian
tally on the night. A lead-off
walk issued to senior catcher
Jenna Jones to start the third
inning accounted for the Indi-
ans only other baserunner in
the ballgame.
By the time the Indians
did tally, they already found
themselves in a 4-0 hole, as
a lead-off error, a elders
choice and a run-scoring sin-
gle got the Cadettes on the
board in the opening frame.
A dropped third strike with
two outs gave life to anoth-
er Crestwood scoring strike
in the second inning, as that
Indian miscue was then fol-
lowed by two singles and a
walk to help improve the Ca-
dette standing to 4-0 through
two complete frames.
Crestwood answered that
lone Indian tally right away
in the bottom of the fourth
with a double and single to
pull ahead to a 5-1 advantage.
Following their own scoring
effort, the Indians were then
turned away in order in each
of the games nal three in-
nings to suffer that 5-1 defeat.
Junior Thea Meyer was on
the short side of the pitching
result, allowing one walk
and 10 hits while striking out
two batters. For the second
straight game she allowed
just one earned run, with de-
fensive miscues giving Crest-
wood four unearned tallies.
Junior shortstop Allie
Schwartz accounted for all the
Indian offense in the Tribes
10-0 loss in six innings to the
Cadettes in game two of the
double-dip. The lead-off hit-
ter managed a rst-inning
double and a third-inning sin-
gle for the only Indian hits in
that game-two loss.
With the three other batters
in each of those productive
innings for Schwartz all be-
ing retired in order, she was
left stranded on her original
base each time. Three other
harmless baserunners were
also left stranded, as sopho-
more right elder Madison
Snitker reached on a Crest-
wood error to lead off the
fourth inning, and senior rst
baseman McKayla Stock and
sophomore second baseman
Kaley Benzing each drew
walks in the fth and sixth
innings, respectively.
With the Indian offense
mounting very little threat,
Crestwood started off in sim-
ilar fashion, being retired in
order in the opening frame
before managing just a sin-
gle run in the second inning
on a lead-off walk and two
singles. The host Cadettes
tacked on another pair of runs
in the third inning on a single,
a walk and a two-run double
before pushing their lead to
7-0 in the fourth frame on a
triple and ve singles. A tri-
ple, a double, a single and
two elders choices pushed
the game to the brink of an
early ending with two more
Crestwood tallies in the fth,
but the nishing touches were
nally put on by the Cadettes
in the sixth on two singles and
an Indian error that helped
end the game at a 10-0 mer-
cy-rule loss for the Indians.
Sophomore Leslie
Sivesind suffered the pitching
loss, surrendering 15 hits and
two walks while striking out a
batter in ve-plus innings.

DRY anything that
comes into contact with water
(boats, trailers, equipment,

transporting to another water
body either:
Spray your boat and trailer
with hot, high-pressure water;
or dry your boat and equip-
ment for at least ve days.
Never release plants, sh
or animals into a water body
unless they came out of that
water body and empty un-
wanted bait in the trash.
These steps are not only
suggestions; they are law. It is
illegal to possess or transport
prohibited aquatic invasive
species in Iowa. It is also il-
legal to transport any aquatic
plants on water-related equip-
ment. Boaters must drain all
water from boats and equip-
ment before leaving a water
access and must keep drain
plugs removed or opened
during transport. It is also
illegal to introduce any live
sh, except for hooked bait,
into public waters.
Signs are posted at public

Thats the slogan the Iowa
Department of Natural Re-

ing boaters and anglers to
remember for the upcoming
Fourth of July holiday to
protect Iowa lakes and rivers
from aquatic hitchhikers.
Aquatic hitchhikers are
invasive species - everything
from zebra mussels to Eur-
asian watermilfoil - that are
transported from one water
body to another by hitchhik-

and other equipment used in
the water. These aquatic inva-
sive species can create seri-
ous problems for Iowa waters
by reducing native species
and making lakes and rivers
unusable by boaters, anglers
and swimmers.
The best way to control
the negative effects of aquat-
ic invasive species in Iowa is
to prevent their spread to new
waterbodies, said Kim Bo-
genschutz, aquatic invasive

Kee softball claims Upper Iowa Conference championship in full nal week
by Val Meyer
The Kee softball team
wrapped up its regular season
by winning a narrow majority
of its nal games played this
past week, clinching top hon-
ors in the Upper Iowa Con-
ference along the way. The
Hawks played to a split in an
Upper Iowa Conference dou-
bleheader at MFL/MarMac
Monday, June 30, falling in
game one by a 3-2 result be-
fore bouncing back with a 5-0
triumph in the nightcap, be-
fore posting a home non-con-
ference win against Waukon,
8-0, Wednesday, July 2. The
Hawks swept their nal Up-
per Iowa Conference double-
header of the season at Clay-
ton Ridge Thursday, July 3 by
scores of 12-2 and 12-0 in just
ve frames before winning
one of four games played at
the Don Bosco Tournament
Friday and Saturday, July 4
and 5. That tournament run
consisted of losses of 5-0
to Class 3A top-rated Ben-
ton Community and 7-4 to
Class 5A Cedar Falls in Fri-
days competition, before the
Hawks suffered a 6-4 loss to
Class 5A Waterloo West and
then nished the tournament
with a 13-0 triumph in just
four innings over Class 2A
Jesup.
Kee nished its regular
season with an overall record

at MFL/MarMac ...
The softball Hawks trav-
eled to Monona Monday,
June 30, playing to a split of a
doubleheader in Upper Iowa
Conference competition with
MFL/MarMac. The Hawks
allowed a late Bulldog come-
back effort to be successful
in falling by a 3-2 result in
game one but bounced back
to post a 5-0 triumph in the
second game of the twinbill.
In a closely-fought battle
throughout game one, the
Hawks put up a single run
in both the rst and fourth
innings. Senior shortstop
Kaylee Darling and junior
center elder Val Meyer were
the two Kee players to cross
home plate in that rst game
with the Bulldogs, Kee hold-
ing a 2-0 advantage through
ve complete innings of play.
It was in the sixth inning
when MFL nally tied the
game when two girls from
their team crossed home
plate. Once the nal inning
came around, the host Bull-
dogs were able to hold Kee
scoreless for the third con-
secutive inning in the top of
the frame and then put up
their nal run, winning the
game by a score of 3-2.
Eighth grader Kendra
Cooper was on the mound in
the rst game for the Hawks,
giving up six hits, walking
one batter and recording six
strike-outs. Of the three runs
scored by MFL, only one of
them was an earned run.
Meyer was three-for-three
at the plate for the Hawk of-
fense, scoring one run while
recording half of Kees total
hits in the ballgame. Dar-
ling, Kendra Cooper and se-
nior Ellie Heiderscheit each
recorded one of the Hawks
other three hits in the game,
with eighth grade designat-
ed hitter Chloe Severson re-
cording the only RBI for the
Hawks.
It was a tough loss for
the team, but it is games like
these that we have to learn
from, Kee softball coach Liz
Hill said.
Going into the second
game of the night, the Hawks
were able to ght back and
take the game from the
Bulldogs by a score of 5-0.
Freshman Courtney Cooper
threw a one-hit shut-out at
the host Bulldogs, recording
12 strike-outs while not al-
lowing any walks or runs for
MFL/MarMac.
The Hawks were slow to
get on the boards themselves,
as the host Bulldog defense
kept Kees bats fairly silent
as well through ve score-
less innings. But it was in the
sixth inning when the Hawks
pushed four runs on their side
of the scoreboard to nal-
ly break the games scoring
ice. In the seventh inning, the
Hawks pushed their nal run
across home plate, sealing
the victory by a nal score of
5-0.
man Ellie Cooper, eighth
grade third baseman Kendra
Cooper, junior center elder
Val Meyer, pitcher Courtney
Cooper and senior right eld-
er Jordan Colsch were the
ve girls to cross home plate
in the contest. Ellie Cooper
was three-for-four at the plate
to pace Kees offense, with
Kendra Cooper and Courtney
Cooper each belting dou-
bles and also joining Meyer,
Heiderscheit and junior Mol-
ly Walleser in each driving in
one Kee run.
We played better all
around in the second game,
Kee softball coach Liz Hill
stated. We have to focus ear-
lier to reach our goals.
vs. Waukon ...
Wednesday, July 2, the
softball Hawks played host
to the Waukon Indians at the
New Albin eld, and took
one game against them, 8-0.
Kees sister pitching tandem
of eighth grader Kendra Coo-
per and freshman Courtney
Cooper limited the visiting
Indians to just four hits in the
contest to help secure the Kee
victory.
Within the rst two innings
of the game, the Hawks put
up over half of their runs, and
did not allow the Indians any
runs. Back-to-back singles
in the rst inning by senior
shortstop Kaylee Darling and
Kendra Cooper resulted in a
1-0 Kee headstart, with four
more runs being tacked on in
the second frame with some
considerable help from Wau-
kons defense.
Junior rst baseman Mol-
ly Walleser started that Kee
barrage reaching on a one-
out error before eighth grade
designated hitter Chloe Sev-
erson singled and sophomore
second baseman Ellie Cooper
drew a walk to load the bas-
es. Consecutive Waukon er-
rors in at-bats by Darling and
Kendra Cooper showed up on
Kees side of the scoreboard
before junior center elder
Val Meyer belted a two-out
double to complete Kees
outburst at a 5-0 advantage
through two complete in-
nings.
An exchange of scoreless
at-bats in the third and fourth
innings gave way to more Kee
scoring in the fth and sixth
innings, again with some
help from Waukons defense.
Courtney Cooper started off
the fth inning reaching on
an error before Severson
smacked her third single of
the ballgame to plate Court-
ney Coopers pinch-runner,
freshman Sydney Strong, and
improve Kees standing to
6-0 through ve full innings.
Ellie Cooper opened Kees
sixth inning in similar fash-
ion, reaching on an Indian
defensive miscue before be-
ing brought home on a single
from Kendra Cooper. Meyer
ripped her second double
of the contest to plate Ken-
dra Coopers pinch-runner,
eighth grader Nicki Wood,
and push the host Hawks to
an 8-0 advantage that would
stand as the games nal re-
sult a half inning later.
Severson led Kees of-
fensive effort with a perfect,
three-for-three performance,
scoring one run and driving
in another. Darling, Mey-
er and Kendra Cooper were
each two-for-four at the
plate, Meyer belting out two
doubles to drive in a pair of
Kee runs and Darling be-
ing joined by Ellie Cooper
in each scoring two runs for
the Hawks. Courtney Coo-
per, Walleser and Wood also
scored a run each for the host
Hawks.
Kendra Cooper started the
Hawks off in the pitching cir-
cle in the single game against
the Indians. She pitched the
rst ve innings of the match
and gave up two hits and
one walk while posting four
strike-outs. Her older sister,
Courtney Cooper, took over
for the nal two innings of
the game, also allowing two
hits and one walk while re-
cording three strike-outs.
There were few errors
in this game, Kee softball
coach Liz Hill said. It was
great seeing how many fans
showed up to see the girls
play.
at Clayton Ridge ...
Kees diamond dwellers
returned to Upper Iowa Con-
ference play Thursday, July
3, traveling to Guttenberg to
do battle with Clayton Ridge.
The Eagles proved to be very
little match for the Hawks, as
Kee came away with a clean
sweep of Clayton Ridge by
scores of 12-2 and 12-0 in
ve innings.
To start off game one, the
Hawks put up one of their 12
runs in the rst inning, but the
Eagles pushed two back at the
Hawks to take their own turn
at an early lead. In the top of
the second inning, however,
the Hawks were able to add
another run to tie the ball-
game at 2-2.
After the two teams con-
tinued to battle back and
forth through back-to-back
scoreless at-bats in the third
and fourth innings, Kee nal-
ly found its scoring groove
once again to nish the game
strong. In the fth and sixth
innings, the Hawks put up
two runs in each frame to pull
away to a 6-2 advantage. But
in the nal inning of the rst
game, the Hawks doubled
their score by tacking on six
more runs to nalize the win,
12-2.
man Ellie Cooper, senior
catcher Ellie Heiderscheit
and senior right elder Jor-
dan Colsch each scored one
run for the Hawks. The eighth
grade tandem of pitcher Ken-
dra Cooper and designated
hitter Chloe Severson joined
junior rst baseman Molly
Walleser in each crossing
home plate twice, and senior
shortstop Kaylee Darling put
up three runs.
Darling was two-for-three
at the plate, belting a triple
and driving in three Kee runs
as well. Ellie Cooper and
Kendra Cooper were each
two-for-four at the plate with
two RBI each, Kendra Cooper
pounding out a pair of dou-
bles. Heiderscheit and fresh-
man third baseman Courtney
Cooper each also drove in a
run.
Kendra Cooper pitched the
full seven innings of game
one, giving up four hits and
no walks while recording
nine strike-outs. We had a
great last inning, Kee soft-
ball coach Liz Hill stated.
It is important to get ahead
and hold the other team from
scoring.
In the second game against
the Eagles, Kee beneted
from a one-hit shut-out tossed
at Clayton Ridge by freshman
Courtney Cooper. With the
defensive aspect pretty well
in hand, the Hawks pounded
out 11 hits and posted a trio
of multi-run innings to record
the 12-0 mercy-rule victory in
just ve innings.
The Hawks got a jump-
start in the rst two innings
of the second game. Kee put
up ve runs in inning one,
and also added another three
in the second inning to bolt to
an 8-0 headstart. After a pair
of scoreless exchanges in the
third and fourth frames, the
Hawks returned to scoring
mode and added their nal
four runs of the game in the
fth inning, just in time to
secure the mercy-rule victory
by a score of 12-0.
Courtney Coopers one-hit
pitching shut-out included
just one walk and nine strike-
outs. She also helped her own
cause on the offensive side of
the ball with a two-for-four
plate effort that drove in ve
Kee runs and allowed her to
score two of her own as well.
Junior center elder Val
Meyer was three-for-four
with three runs scored and
two more batted in, with
eighth grade third baseman
Kendra Cooper also collect-
ing two hits in four at-bats to
score two runs. Eighth grade
designated hitter Chloe Sev-
erson also blasted a triple in
the contest.
We played much better
in the second game, Kee
softball coach Liz Hill stat-
ed. The girls are hitting very
well.
Don Bosco Tournament ...
The softball Hawks pre-
pared for their upcoming
postseason tournament run
by participating in the large
Don Bosco Tournament over
the Fourth of July holiday
weekend. The level of com-
petition in the Hawks tourna-
ment bracket, which featured
four teams all in larger class-
es than the Hawks, provided
stiff competition for what is
hoped to be a long, successful
postseason tournament run
that begins this week.
The Hawks opened the
tournament with two games
Friday, July 4 against two of
the most prominent teams
in the tournament, falling to
Class 3A top-rated Benton
Community by a 5-0 result
and to Class 5A Cedar Falls
by just a 7-4 nal. Saturdays
competition featured another
narrow loss, 6-4, to a Class
5A foe, Waterloo West, be-
fore Kee posted its rst vic-
tory of the tournament, a 13-0
romp over Class 2A Jesup in
ve innings.
We played good ball the
second day of the tourna-

Kee baseball team splits with NFV in UIC play, sweeps pair from Crestwood
by Val Meyer
The Kee baseball team
had a total of six games
scheduled for this past week,
but had half of those impact-
ed by weather. The Hawks
had a Monday, June 30 Up-
per Iowa Conference (UIC)
doubleheader at MFL/Mar-
Mac called off because of
stormy weather, and only
got through half of a home
UIC double-dip with North
Fayette Valley Tuesday, July
1 - falling by an 11-1 result in
ve innings - before having
the second game postponed
by weather to Saturday, July
5, where the Hawks bounced
back with a 5-1 victory. Kee
also swept a non-conference
doubleheader at Crestwood
Thursday, July 3 by scores of
5-0 and 8-5.
Now holding an 18-15
overall record, 7-6 in Upper
Iowa Conference (UIC) play,
the Hawks were scheduled to
wrap up their regular season
schedule with one nal home
doubleheader Monday, July
7 against Edgewood-Coles-
burg before playing a June
16 make-up game at Post-
ville Thursday, July 10. A
non-conference doublehead-
er at Dubuque Senior High
School has also now been
added to Kees schedule for
Wednesday, July 9 in light of
a pair of UIC doubleheaders
lost to weather recently. Kee
will then open postseason
tournament play Tuesday,
July 15 at Postville against
Wapsie Valley, with further
details of the Hawks post-
season journey printed else-
where on this same Sports
page in a shaded box.
vs. North Fayette Valley ...
Tuesday, July 1, Kee was
scheduled to play two Up-
per Iowa Conference games
against the North Fayette
Valley (NFV) Tigerhawks,
but was only able to squeeze
in one game before the oth-
er game was called due to
rain. The rst game that was
played against NFV was a
loss for the Hawks, 11-1 in
just ve innings. The Hawks
had to make up the second
game against the Tigerhawks
Saturday, July 5, and were
able to win that game by a
score of 5-1.
The Hawks were able
strike rst in the opening
contest, posting the rst run
of the ballgame in the bottom
of the rst inning. However,
that rst tally would turn out
to be the only run scored by
Kee in the entire contest, as
North Fayette Valley soph-
omore Trevor Hurd limited
Kee to just three hits, striking
out six Hawks and walking
none in ve complete in-
nings.
After a scoreless second
inning for both squads, North
Fayette Valley surged ahead
for four runs in the top of the
third inning, snatching the
lead away from Kee. Anoth-
er scoreless exchange played
out in the fourth inning,
with the visiting Tigerhawks
erupting on offense once
again in the top of the fth
for seven runs that pushed
them to a double-digit score-
board margin at 11-1.
With Kee being unable to
nd any kind of an offen-
sive answer to North Fayette
Valleys two big innings, the
game was ended by 10-run
mercy rule in the bottom of
the fth with the Hawks on
the short end of the 11-1 end
result.
North Fayette Valley
pounded out 12 hits and took
advantage of three walks to
jump on Kees defense in
those two multi-run innings.
Individual statistics were
not made available by press
time for Kees game-one loss
against North Fayette Valley.
The second game of that
scheduled doubleheader with
North Fayette Valley had to
be rescheduled for Saturday,
July 5 due to rain that moved
into the area July 1. It was the
Hawks turn to control North
Fayette Valleys bats, as Kee
senior Jared Donahue limit-
ed the visiting Tigerhawks to
just four hits in pitching the
Hawks to the 5-1 victory.
Kee got a head start ear-
ly on in the second game
against North Fayette Valley.
The Hawks put up three of
their ve runs within the rst
two innings, and only let the
Tigerhawks put up one run.
Kee put up two runs in the
bottom of the rst inning be-
fore exchanging a single run
each in the second frame, the
host Hawks holding a 3-1 ad-
vantage after two complete
innings of play.
It was not until the bottom
of the sixth inning when the
Hawks added their nal two
runs to the boards. Neither
team could solve the others
defense through three con-
secutive scoreless innings
until that two-run sixth for
Kee. Those nal two tallies
completed the Hawks 5-1
victory.
Senior Matt Manning was
a perfect two-for-two at the
plate with two runs scored
and also pounding out two
doubles. Senior Quinn Bren-
nan and junior Travis Colsch
were each one-for-two at the
plate, Brennan scoring two
runs. Senior Chris Carroll
drove in a pair of runs for
the Hawks, with junior Ryan
Kuhn also knocking in one
Kee tally.
Donahues winning effort
on the pitchers mound saw
him give up just four North
Fayette Valley hits and three
walks while also recording
four strike-outs. This has
been one of the best games
of the season, Kee baseball
coach Gene Schultz said. It
was a big game for us to win
prior to tournament play, and
it was a great conference win
for us to have.
at Crestwood ...
The baseball Hawks had a
non-conference doubleheader
at the home of the Crestwood
Cadets Thursday, July 3, and
were able to take both games.
The Hawks benetted from
a one-hit shut-out tossed by
junior Ryan Kuhn to post a
5-0 victory and also held off a
late Cadet comeback effort to
complete the sweep with an
8-5 victory.
Kuhn tossed ve and one-
third innings of one-hit base-
ball, all but silencing Crest-
woods bats by recording half
of the 16 outs posted during
his tenure on the mound via
strike-out and walking just
three batters. Senior Chris
Carroll nished out the
games nal one and two-
thirds innings, not allowing
any hits or walks while strik-
ing out two batters to keep
Crestwood scoreless.
Neither the Hawks nor the
Cadets put up runs in the rst
or second innings, as they felt
each other out at the plate
and on defense. It was nally
in the top of the third inning
that Kee made its way onto
the scoreboard with a single
run. In the Hawks fourth in-
ning they put up four runs to
complete their scoring for the
game, and Kees defense was
able to continue to keep the
Cadets from scoring, sealing
the 5-0 Kee victory.
Senior Chris Carroll was a
perfect three-for-three at the
plate, driving in two runs for
the Hawks. Senior Jason Del-
aney was two-for-two with
the bat, plating one run, while
senior Quinn Brennan belted
a double in three at-bats to
also drive in two runs. Senior
Matt Manning scored two
runs for the Hawks while also
driving in one run.
It is great to see that the
team keeps improving, Kee
baseball coach Gene Schul-
tz stated. Having a shut-out
game is always nice to have.
In the second game of
the road doubleheader, the
Hawks got ahead right away
in the rst inning and never
really looked back in secur-
ing an 8-5 victory. Kee had
to hold off a four-run surge
by the host Cadets midway
through game two to help se-
cure the win.
The Hawks put up ve of
their eight runs right away in
the rst inning and did not al-
low the Cadets to push a run
home until the bottom of the
second inning. At the end of
the second inning, the Hawks
were ahead, 5-1.
In the third and fourth in-
nings, the Hawks put the rest
of their runs on the board,
tacking on just one run in
the top of the third inning
and adding two more to hold
an 8-1 advantage midway
through the contest. It was the
bottom of the fourth inning
when the Cadets put up their
additional four runs, putting
together one nal surge to cut
Kees lead to just 8-5. Both
teams settled in on defense
following that Cadet upris-
ing, playing three consecutive
innings of scoreless baseball
to keep that 8-5 scoreboard
result fully intact for a Kee
victory.
Senior Chris Carroll was
a perfect four-for-four at the
plate, blasting a homerun on
his way to scoring two runs
while driving in two runs as
well. Fellow senior Quinn
Brennan was two-for-three
at the plate, also scoring two
runs, with senior Jared Do-
nahue tallying two runs as
well. Freshman Casey Car-
roll, junior Ryan Kuhn and
seniors Jason Delaney and
Nick Gavin each drove in one
run, Casey Carroll belting out
a double.
Chris Carroll pitched the
rst four innings for the
Hawks in the second game
against the Cadets. He gave
up ve hits, one walk and
ve earned runs while also
recording two strike-outs. Se-
nior Matt Manning came in to
pitch the last three innings for
the Hawks. Manning allowed
one hit, no walks and no runs
while posting ve strike-outs
against Crestwood.
This was a good second
win, Kee baseball coach
Gene Schultz said. It was
great to have a double header
win in the books.
Kee baseball to begin

The Kee baseball team will get Class 1A postseason tour-
nament play underway Tuesday, July 15 at Postville, playing

Kee softball ...
Continued from Page 10A
ment, Kee softball coach
Liz Hill stated. We are x-
ing small errors to get ahead
in the competitions.
In the rst game of the Don
Bosco Tournament Friday
against the Tigers of Class
5A Cedar Falls, the Hawks
were able to strike rst and
rebound once, but could not
rebound again when the Ti-
gers took the lead a second
time. The Hawks out-hit the
Tigers by a 10-8 count but
could not follow that same
trend on the scoreboard, fall-
ing by a 7-4 nal result.
The Hawks were able to
put up the rst run of the
ballgame in the top of the
second inning, but it was in
the bottom of the third inning
when the Tigers were able to
push three runs across home
plate to snatch away the lead.
Kee fought back in the top of
the fourth inning, putting up
three runs of its own to jump
back in front to a 4-3 lead
that would remain until the
bottom of the sixth inning.
The Tigers pushed their -
nal four runs of the ballgame
home in the bottom of the
sixth inning to rip the lead
away from the Hawks once
again. This time, however,
the Hawks had no direct an-
swer, falling by the 7-4 nal
result.
Cooper pitched the rst ve
innings for the Hawks, allow-
ing just four hits, three runs
and two walks while record-
ing a total of six strike-outs.
Freshman Courtney Cooper
came in for the nal inning
of the match, giving up four
hits, four runs and had one
walk without a strike-out in
suffering the pitching loss.
Courtney Cooper was two-
for-two with a double and a
run scored to aid Kees of-
fensive effort, with junior
rst baseman Molly Walleser
going two-for-three to drive
in two runs and score one
as well. Senior catcher Ellie
Heiderscheit and freshman
pinch-runner Sydney Strong
also crossed home plate
against Cedar Falls, with
senior right elder Jordan
Colsch also driving in one
Kee run.
For Fridays second game
the Hawks were faced against
the Class 3A top-rated Ben-
ton Bobcats. The Hawks only
allowed the Bobcats to gain
ve runs, but were limited to
just a single hit in falling by a
5-0 result.
After battling the top-
ranked Bobcats to a score-
less tie through two innings,
the Hawks allowed Benton
to crack their defense with
one run in each of the third,
fth and sixth innings, and
two more runs in the fourth
inning to complete the 5-0
Bobcat margin.
Eighth grade pitcher Ken-
dra Cooper was the only
player to get a hit off of the
Benton pitcher. Other Kee
players found ways on, but
were not able to cross the
home plate, keeping the
Hawks on the short end of the
5-0 end result.
Kendra Cooper also
pitched the rst four innings
of the game, giving up three
hits, three runs and six walks
while posting four strike-outs
to suffer the loss. Freshman
Courtney Cooper came in to
pitch the nal two innings of
the game, allowing four hits,
one run and one walk while
recording two strike-outs.
It is tough to lose, but
these teams are large schools
compared to Kee, Coach
Hill said. We played along
with these teams, and did
well with what we have.
In their rst game Satur-
day against Waterloo West,
the Hawks were ahead until
the fth inning. The Wa-
hawks suddenly came alive
on offense for two runs in
the fth inning and four more
in the sixth to complete the
comeback and defeat Kee by
a 6-4 count.
Kee jumped out to a 1-0
headstart in the opening
frame before erupting for
three runs in the third inning
to hold a 4-0 advantage until
the fth inning. The Waterloo
West bats nally came alive
for two runs in the fth and
then popped for four more
runs in the sixth frame, Kee
not able to generate any
scoreboard production in the
games nal four innings to
fall by the 6-4 end result.
Freshman third baseman
Courtney Cooper went three-
for-four at the plate with a
run scored, with senior catch-
er Ellie Heiderscheit going
two-for-three at the plate
with a triple, one RBI and
one run scored as well. Eight
grade designated hitter Chloe
Severson also went two-for-
three with a run scored, with
senior shortstop Kaylee Dar-
ling collecting a double and
scoring a run. The junior tan-
dem of rst baseman Molly
Walleser and center elder
Val Meyer each drove in a
run for the Hawks as well.
Cooper pitched the full six
innings against Waterloo
West, giving up 11 hits and
just one walk while posting
three strike-outs. For the sec-
ond game of the tournament
the Hawks out-hit an oppo-
nent but could not keep that
same pace on the scoreboard.
In Kees nal game aof the
tournament, the Hawks were
nally matched up against
an opponent that was not at
least two classes bigger than
they were. The Class 2A Je-
sup J-Hawks proved to be
very little competition for the
Hawks of Kee, as freshman
pitcher Courtney Cooper
threw a one-hit shut-out past
Jesup and the Hawks ham-
mered out 12 hits on the way
to a 13-0 rout of the J-Hawks
in just four innings.
Doing all their scoring in
just three of the games four
innings, Kee jumped on top
right away with a ve-run
rst inning, following that
up with four more runs in
the second frame to hold a
9-0 advantage after just two
innings. After a scoreless
third frame, Kee got back on
the scoring track to put the
nishing touches on the mer-
cy-rule win with four more
runs that completed the 13-0
nal margin of victory.
Courtney Coopers one-hit
shut-out saw her walk two
batters and strike out six. She
was also one-for-two at the
plate with a double and one
RBI. Eighth grade third base-
man Kendra Cooper was a
perfect, three-for-three at the
plate with a double and two
runs scored, with junior cen-
ter elder Val Meyer popping
two singles in three at-bats to
drive in one Kee run. Senior
shortstop Kaylee Darling
blasted a triple and scored
two runs, with the senior tan-
dem of catcher Ellie Heider-
scheit and right elder Jordan
Colsch being joined by junior
rst baseman Molly Walleser
in each driving in one Kee
run as well.

The 2014 Waukon boys golf team battled a strong
competition schedule in addition to troublesome weather
that either postponed or cancelled a considerable handful
of meets this season. Coming up just beyond posting any
victories in Northeast Iowa Conference play for the year,
the Tribe linksters lone meet victory on the season came
against MFL/MarMac. The Indians wrapped up their 2014
campaign with a seventh-place nish at the Northeast Iowa
Conference Tournament and an eighth-place nish at their
Class 3A Sectional Tournament.
A total of ve seniors led this years team, as Carter
Clark, Travis Duehr, Mike Mitchell, Cole Moody and Mason
Schlake each competed for the Indians one nal time in their
high school careers. Carter Clark played to All-Conference
honors for the second consecutive season, the only Indian
to nish within this years Northeast Iowa Conference All-
Conference top-15 individual
nishers.
Special
Congratulations
to senior Carter
Clark, who
played to All-
Conference
honors for
the second

VMH making transition to
electronic medical record
Ofcials at Veterans Me-
morial Hospital have an-
nounced that the hospital has
recently gone live with a
new electronic medical re-
cord. This new record is in
response to Medicares rule
requiring hospitals to meet
certain standards related
to medical records called
Meaningful Use.
As we begin the process
of moving portions of our
documentation to the elec-
tronic medical record, I wish
to apologize in advance for
any disruptions anyone ex-
periences with their care or
services, stated Mike Myers,
hospital administrator. We
take great pride in providing
the best care possible to all
we serve. However, as with
anything new, it takes some
time to become familiar and
comfortable with it.
The hospital made this
conversion to the electronic
medical record July 1. The
staff has been training for the
last month preparing for the
transition to make it as seam-
less as possible.
As we have talked to oth-
er hospitals that have under-
gone the change to electronic
records, there are always is-
sues that arise that were not
expected, added Myers.
Please do not hesitate to let
someone know if you have
an issue during your encoun-
ter at the hospital. The people
who come to Veterans Me-
morial Hospital for care re-
main our priority as we enter
a new era of record keeping
at the hospital.
For questions or concerns
about the new electronic
medical record, call the hos-
pital at 563-568-3411.
Keep skin safe from
the sun this summer
from the American Institute
for Cancer Research and
Most skin cancers are
linked to sun exposure, a risk
factor that almost all of us
can control by heeding a few
common-sense precautions.
While many of us have seen
or heard these sun safety
tips before, the fact remains
that there will be approxi-
mately one million new cases
of skin cancer this year in
America.
Try to avoid the midday
sun between 10 a.m. and 3
p.m. Thats when the suns
ultraviolet (UV) radiation is
most intense. Even on hazy
or somewhat cloudy days, 80
percent of UV radiation can
reach you.
Cover yourself when
youre outside for extended
periods. Long sleeves are
a good idea and a wide-
brimmed hat can keep 70
percent of dangerous rays
off ears, nose, face, and neck
- areas where many skin can-
cers occur. Clothing, howev-
er, doesnt completely shield
your skin. A white cotton T-
shirt has a lower sun protec-
tion factor (SPF) than many
sunscreen lotions. Colored
clothes with tighter weaves
may offer greater protection.
Use a sunscreen of SPF
15 or more whenever you go
out. Apply it 30 to 40 min-
utes before sun exposure
and dont be stingy - it takes
about one ounce of sunscreen
to cover your body. Because
sunscreen breaks down, reap-
ply it every few hours. This
does not extend the amount
of time you can safely stay in
the sun, however. Wear wa-
terproof sunscreen if you are
swimming, but reapply it if
you towel dry.
Take extra care if you are
using medications like anti-
histamines, tetracyclines, sul-
fa drugs, diuretics and some
oral contraceptives - they can
make your skin more suscep-
tible to the suns rays.
Protecting your chil-
drens skin now through
regular use of an SPF 15
sunscreen may decrease their
risk of developing skin cancer
by nearly 80 percent. Keep
children under six months
out of the sun - their skin is
very sensitive to sunlight and
sunscreen use at this age is
generally not advised.
For information on sun
safety, call Veterans Memori-
al Hospital at 563-568-3411.

The Ofce of the State
Long-Term Care Ombuds-
man is seeking volunteers for
its new Volunteer Ombuds-
man Program (VOP). The
VOP wishes to place one to
two volunteers in every nurs-
ing facility, residential care
facility and elder group home
in Iowa.
Volunteer Ombudsmen are
trained, certied volunteers
that visit one local long-term
care facility to advocate for
residents rights. This in-
cludes visiting with residents
about their quality of care and
quality of life in the facility
and seeking to resolve their
concerns. This unique and re-
warding opportunity requires
a minimum commitment of
three hours per month for one
year.
Skills necessary include
a friendly disposition, active
listening, collaborative prob-
lem solving, and a strong ap-
preciation for older Iowans
and Iowans with disabilities.
Volunteers must be at least
18 years of age. Previous ex-
perience in health care is not
required. Certain conicts of
interest may prevent some
people from serving, includ-
ing current employees of
long-term care facilities and
their family members.
The benets of becoming
a Volunteer Ombudsman in-
Volunteers needed to
advocate for residents in
long-term care facilities
clude:
Training, resources, and
continuing support from the
State Long-Term Care Om-
budsmans Ofce;
Rewarding relationships
with long-term care residents;
A exible schedule - vol-
unteers are able to conduct
their service as it suits their
lifestyle; and,
The opportunity to learn
more about navigating the
system of long-term care.
New volunteer trainings
are scheduled around the
state this summer, including
Des Moines (July 10), Fort
Madison (July 16), Dubuque
(July 17), Marshalltown
(July 22), Waverly (July 24),
Cherokee (July 29), Ottumwa
(July 30), Davenport (August
5), Red Oak (August 7), Fort
Dodge (August 12), and La-
moni (August 14). Make-up
trainings may be offered as
needed. Interested persons
must submit a volunteer ap-
plication prior to attending
training.

If there is any sin which religious people are particularly prone to, it is perhaps the sin of religious pride, and especially the sin of thinking that we are somehow holier than the mass of
humanity. Religious people who teach, preach or write about these subjects are probably more at risk for this than the average person, since they are in some ways called upon to exhort
others to act and believe piously. There are lots of dangers of being on this moral and religious high horse, not the least of which is that we have farther to fall the higher the horse. Indeed,
Jesus reserved his most scathing criticisms for those high-minded teachers and Pharisees who seemed to relish the prospect of casting stones at sinners. The woes enumerated in the 23rd
chapter of Matthews gospel and the 11th chapter of Lukes are directed at various forms of religious sins, and we would do well to study these chapters and honestly ask ourselves which
of these high horses we might be riding on, perhaps without realizing it. - Christopher Simon The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat. So you must be careful to do
everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. Matthew 23:2-3 NIV

USDA Announces Changes
to Fruit, Vegetable and Wild
Rice Planting Rules
Farm Service Agency
(FSA) has announced fruit,
vegetable and wild rice pro-
visions that affect producers
who intend to participate in
certain programs authorized
by the Agricultural Act of
2014.
Producers who intend to
participate in the Agriculture
Risk Coverage (ARC) or
Price Loss Coverage (PLC)
programs are subject to an
acre-for-acre payment reduc-
tion when fruits and nuts, veg-
etables or wild rice are plant-
ed on the payment acres of
a farm. Payment reductions
do not apply to mung beans,
dry peas, lentils or chickpeas.
Planting fruits, vegetables or
wild rice on acres that are not
considered payment acres
will not result in a payment
reduction. Farms that are eli-
gible to participate in ARC/
PLC but are not enrolled for a
particular year may plant un-
limited fruits, vegetables and
wild rice for that year but will
not receive ARC/PLC pay-
ments for that year. Eligibil-
ity for succeeding years is not
affected.
Planting and harvesting
fruits, vegetables and wild
rice on ARC/PLC acreage is
subject to the acre-for-acre
payment reduction when
those crops are planted on
either more than 15 percent
of the base acres of a farm
enrolled in ARC using the
county coverage or PLC, or
more than 35 percent of the
base acres of a farm enrolled
in ARC using the individual
coverage.
Fruits, vegetables and
wild rice that are planted in a
double-cropping practice will
not cause a payment reduc-
tion if the farm is in a double-
cropping region as designated
by the USDAs Commodity
Credit Corporation.
Highly Erodible Land And
Wetland Compliance
Landowners and opera-
tors are reminded that in
order to receive payments
from USDA, they must be
compliant with Highly Erod-
ible Land (HEL) and Wetland
Conservation (WC) provi-
sions. Farmers with HEL
determined soils must apply
tillage, crop residue and rota-
tion requirements as specied
in their conservation plan.
Producers should notify
FSA prior to conducting land
clearing or drainage projects
to ensure compliance. If you
intend to clear any trees to
create new cropland, these ar-
eas will need to be reviewed
to ensure any work will not
jeopardize your eligibility for
benets.
Landowners and opera-
tors can complete form AD-
1026 Highly Erodible Land
Conservation (HELC) and
Wetland Conservation (WC)
Certication to determine
whether a referral to Natural
Resources Conservation Ser-
vice (NRCS) is necessary.

Wetland Conservation pro-
visions, contact Allamakee

Guaranteed Loan Eligibility
Changes to FSA regula-
tions have removed Guar-
anteed Operating Loan term
limits. Previous and current
guaranteed loan borrowers
who were not eligible for fur-
ther guaranteed loans due to
the previous 15 year eligibil-
ity term limit may now be eli-
gible for further guaranteed
loans through their commer-
cial lender.
Direct Loan Changes
Changes were made to
the interest rate charged on
loans where FSA provides
50 percent or less on jointly
nanced purchases of real es-
tate also called Direct Farm
Ownership Participation
Loans. The interest rate will
be the greater of 2.5 percent
or the current interest rate
for direct Farm Ownership
loans minus 2 percent, as a
xed rate for the duration of
the loan. At present, the June
direct Farm Ownership rate
is 4.00 percent. Because the
2.5 percent oor is greater
than subtracting 2 percent
from the current direct farm
ownership loan rate, the rate
for Direct Farm Ownership
Participation Loans in June is
2.50 percent.
Beginning Farmer Loans
FSA assists beginning
farmers to nance agricul-
tural enterprises. Under these
designated farm loan pro-
grams, FSA can provide -
nancing to eligible applicants
through either direct or guar-
anteed loans. FSA denes a
beginning farmer as a person
who:
Has operated a farm for
not more than 10 years
Will materially and sub-
stantially participate in the
operation of the farm
Agrees to participate in
a loan assessment, borrower
training and nancial man-
agement program sponsored
by FSA
Does not own a farm in
excess of 30 percent of the
countys average size farm.
Additional program in-
formation, loan applications,
and other materials are avail-
able at the Allamakee County
Service Center. You may also
visit www.fsa.usda.gov.
Loans for the Socially
Disadvantaged
FSA has a number of loan
programs available to assist
applicants to begin or con-
tinue in agriculture produc-
tion. Loans are available for
operating type loans and/or
purchase or improve farms or
ranches.
While all qualied produc-
ers are eligible to apply for
these loan programs, the FSA
has provided priority funding
for members of socially dis-
advantaged applicants.
A socially disadvantaged
applicant is one of a group
whose members have been
subjected to racial, ethnic or
gender prejudice because of
his or her identity as members
of the group without regard to
his or her individual qualities.
For purposes of this pro-
gram, socially disadvantaged
groups are women, African
Americans, American Indi-
ans, Alaskan Natives, His-
panics, Asian Americans and
Pacic Islanders.
FSA loans are only avail-
able to applicants who meet
all the eligibility require-
ments and are unable to ob-
tain the needed credit else-
where.
Microloan Program
The Farm Service Agency
(FSA) developed the Micro-
loan (ML) program to better
serve the unique nancial op-
erating needs of beginning,
niche and small family farm
operations.
FSA offers applicants a
Microloan designed to help
farmers with credit needs
of $35,000 or less. The loan
features a streamlined ap-
plication process built to t
the needs of new and smaller
producers. This loan pro-
gram will also be useful to
specialty crop producers and
operators of community sup-
ported agriculture (CSA).
Eligible applicants can ap-
ply for a maximum amount
of $35,000 to pay for initial
start-up expenses such as
hoop houses to extend the
growing season, essential
tools, irrigation and annual
expenses such as seed, fer-
tilizer, utilities, land rents,
marketing, and distribution
expenses. As nancing needs
increase, applicants can apply
for a regular operating loan
up to the maximum amount
of $300,000 or obtain nanc-
ing from a commercial lender
under FSAs Guaranteed
Loan Program.
Individuals who are inter-
ested in applying for a micro-
loan or would like to discuss
other farm loan programs
available should contact the
Allamakee County FSA of-
ce to set up an appointment
with a loan ofcial.
Iowa Secretary of Agricul-
ture Bill Northey encourages
Iowa hay and straw produc-
ers to register or update their
listing on the Iowa Hay and
Straw Directory. The direc-
tory lists Iowa producers with
hay and straw for sale, as well
as organizations and busi-
nesses associated with pro-
moting and marketing quality
hay and straw.
The directory has been a
great tool for both buyers and
sellers and we hope farmers
will take the time to review
and update their informa-
tion so that it remains a valu-
able resource, Northey said.
This directory can serve as a
critical link for those produc-
ing hay and those looking to
buy, so we encourage Iowans
to take advantage of this free
directory.
The listing is available to
interested buyers throughout
the nation, however only sell-
ers from within Iowa can be
included on the list.
Names are gathered
throughout the year with
added emphasis now that hay
harvest has started. Sections
within the Hay and Straw
Directory include Forage
for Sale, Forage Auctions,
Hay Associations, Forage
Dealers, Hay Grinders and
Custom Balers.
Farmers interested in list-
ing should visit the Depart-
ments website at www.
IowaAgriculture.gov. An ap-
plication form can be found
by going to the Bureaus

Farmers still have a ght-
ing chance to stop Palmer
Amaranth, a tough yield-rob-
bing weed, from spreading in
Iowa.
The Iowa Soybean As-
sociation (ISA) and Iowa
State University Extension
and Outreach are working
together to provide informa-
tion to keep the weed at bay.
Native to the southwestern
United States, Palmer was
rst ofcially identied in
Iowa last September. There
are now documented cases in
Harrison, Page, Muscatine,
Fremont and Davis counties.
Herbicide resistance, primar-
ily to glyphosate, is an issue.
Were at a point that we
can really restrict how quickly
it spreads, said Mike Owen,
ISU weed specialist. If we
ignore it, in the next 10 years
it could be infesting half the
(row crop) acres in Iowa.
That will decimate yields
and the bottom line.
Experts say Palmer out-
breaks in the South have
caused complete crop fail-
ures. A mild to moderate
infestation can result in soy-
bean yield losses of up to 30
percent, with a potential rev-
enue hit of more than $200
per acre.
Early identication and ac-
tion is paramount to mitigate
the spread of Palmer, which
resembles waterhemp, in the
state.
Theres increasing im-
portance to know what weed
species you have in order to
gure out better prescriptive
control methods, said Dr. Ed
Anderson, ISA senior direc-
tor of Supply and Production
Systems.
ISU weed specialists are
available to help identify
Palmer Amaranth, which is
vital for appropriate plan-
ning. Late May is the time to
start scouting for Palmer, but
it will germinate throughout
the growing season.
Recommended control
strategies for Palmer include
soil-applied, residual herbi-
cides and multiple effective
modes of action. Group 3, 15
and some group 14 products
work well. Post-emergent
products are limited due to
herbicide resistance, and
should be used sparingly.
Cover crops and spot cultiva-
tion are also effective mea-
sures.
Waterhemp is a relatively
wimpy weed and can be
controlled with weaker her-
bicide doses unlike Palmer,
which makes identication so
important.

5936 or mdowen@iastate.edu

ditional information or media

Letter to the Editor
... that The Weather Chan-
nel on TV has changed its
format, and I dont like it.
More on that later.
One of the things new is a
little three-line intro to Lo-
cal on the Eight reports, and
sometimes they try to be cute.
A recent example during one
of the prolonged stretches of
rainy weather was: Need an
ark? We NOAA guy! Play-
ing off the Noah and his ark
theme.
But the weather has been
anything but funny lately.
Did someone say 20 days
with rain in Junes 30 days?
I think I have probably
watched the weather chan-
nel more than any other TV
channel of late. One thing I
dont like about the new for-
mat is that the radar scan is
confined to a smaller area.
Roughly just to Cresco to
the west. And then only over
a three-hour span. Northeast
Iowans know that very often,
we can predict our weather
by what is happening a cou-
ple hundred miles south and
west, since that is the pre-
vailing direction from which
storms move.
When things get really
interesting, the commercial
networks come on, but by
then we are already pretty
much in for it! They have
been on weather for hours
at a time frequently recently,
reaching deep into their bull
pen for relief reporters.
I jokingly noted here that I
did not vote for Gov. Brans-
tad in the primary election
because he switched his ma-
jor league baseball allegiance
from the Cubs. It is true I vot-
ed for his opponent, but that
was not the real reason. The
real reason was that he cut
funds for the REAP program
(Resource Enhancement and
Protection).
But an article in this morn-
ings paper about the Iowa
Natural Heritage Foundation
caused me to think maybe
his veto was okay. The INHF
raises money from like-
thinking members instead of
asking for tax money. REAP
money is tax money.
I have been a member of
INHF for many years, and
for several years was able to
be a more generous member.
I have cut back since the ad-
ministration in Washington
effectively nationalized the
financial industry. That took
away the discretionary in-
come from which I made my
contribution.
The thing I like about the
And then I wrote ...
by Dick Schilling, Editor Emeritus
Smart meter controversy
INHF is that its funds come
from willing donors. It al-
ways has upset me that tax
money from citizens often
goes to places and things
which the taxpayer actually
opposes.
The INHF acquires lands
for public use from willing
sellers, using no tax money,
only donations from mem-
bers, and then gives the land
to a government agency to
manage. County conservation
boards, for example, which
keeps control close to home.
Additionally, the INHF
sometimes holds a special
fund raiser for those inter-
ested in a particular project.
An example locally was the
purchase of a huge addition
to Effigy Mounds National
Monument. Western Iowans
were able to contribute to a
loess hills project.
Despite the attitude of left
wing progressives, tax dollars
mean something to a lot of
us who have paid taxes for a
lifetime, and we would really
like to have some say in how
money is spent. The INHF al-
lows us to do that.
Meanwhile, I remember
the days when I had a boat
on a trailer in my side yard,
and could have laughed at
NOAAs weather joke!

The idea of a person with
a disability being elected
president of the United States
may seem farfetched to some
Americans, especially given
the physical demands of
campaigning. But persons
with disabilities have pre-
sided over our country and
likely will again.
Of course, most Ameri-
cans already know the story
of Franklin Delano Roos-
evelt, who acquired polio in
the 1920s. Though a public
gure, he managed to hide
his disability and become
governor of New York and
president of the United
States.
Since 1972, at least three
presidential candidates have
had disabilities: George Wal-
lace was paralyzed from the
waist down after an assas-
sination attempt; Bob Dole
had a World War II arm inju-
ry; and Mo Udall lost an eye
in childhood. Also, three re-
cent U.S. Senators lost limbs
in war: Bob Kerrey, Daniel
Inouye and Max Cleland.
Add to these names an-
other well-known politician,
one who had two disabilities,
with the rst greatly helping
him become president. He
was Thomas Woodrow Wil-
son, son of a Presbyterian
minister from Virginia.
Wilson couldnt read
Disabilities
by Daniel J. Vance, MS, LPC, NCC
much until age ten and was
considered a poor student
early on. Nearly all histori-
ans believe he had dyslexia.
According to the Internation-
al Dyslexia Association, dys-
lexia is a learning disability
characterized by problems in
single word decoding that
are unexpected in relation
to age and other cognitive
and academic abilities.
For instance, a child
with dyslexia often reverses
words or letters in spelling,
turning dog into bog or
tip into pit. He or she
may also invert letters, such
as m for w or transpose
them as in felt for left.
Dyslexia affects perhaps ve
percent of Americans.
Often, people with dys-
lexia have above-average
intelligence. As for Wood-
row Wilson, though he was
highly intelligent, his intelli-
gence went unrecognized by
teachers. Many children with
dyslexia are branded slow
learners or taunted.
To help compensate for
his sons learning disability,
Wilsons father began train-
ing his son in debate and
oratory, the mastery of which
resulted in an illustrious po-
litical career. His father
helped make good from what
many people considered bad.
If not for having dyslexia,
To the Editor:
Tuesday, July 1st, Black
Hills Energy was in our neigh-
borhood installing smart me-
ters on residents gas lines.
I did not want the electronic
meter and the installer agreed
to put the old one back on. I
called Black Hills Energy to
tell them I was refusing the
smart meter. Today I spoke
with a representative from
BHE and she said they are
making lists of residents who
refuse the new meters. Then
at a later date they take that
information to the state level
to determine what to do about
the list of people refusing.
Basically, she inferred the
action on their part will be
to charge each residence ex-
tra each month for having
to send out a meter reader.
She did not know what that
amount might be.
Now you are asking why
I do not want the meter at
this time. Without going into
a long diatribe of which you
might not give a hoot, please
google Smart Meters Con-
troversy, and you will have
more information than you
can handle. The following
website is just one of many:
http://newlifeonahomestead.
com/2013/02/smart-meter-
controversy/
At the very least we need
to inform ourselves regarding
the health and safety and of
our families. There is no de-
nying that invasion of privacy
can result from the hacking
into these electronic systems.
Every 15 minutes a record
of your gas use is sent to the
main ofce. What if you are
gone an employee or hack-
er could help themselves to
your home when they see no
usage happening.
Perhaps in the future this
monitoring might be shared
with the government. We al-
ready have too much Big
Daddy involvement and this
is just another avenue that
can be intrusive into private
citizens lives. If you are in-
terested in more information
regarding this issue, please
go to the internet. I am just
learning about it myself and
have to do the same.
Sincerely,

Wilson likely wouldnt have
been president.
In 1919 and while in of-
ce, President Wilson had
a stroke paralyzing his left
side. He never fully recov-
ered and his wife successful-
ly kept his condition hidden
from the public. Woodrow
Wilson was the rst and only
president to simultaneously

Bear Creek Drive now complete ... The Allamakee County Board of Supervisors marked the completion of the paving of Bear Creek Drive near Dorchester with a ribbon cutting ceremony Monday, August 26. Allamakee County Engineer Brian Ridenour said that the total cost of paving the road from Highway 76 to the Winneshiek County line, 5.732 miles, was $4,843,139, or $844,930 per mile. Ridenour added that 70% of the project cost was funded with state fuel tax and vehicle registration funds and 30% by property taxes. Pictured above, left to right, are Ridenour, Supervisors Dennis Koenig, Sherry Strub and Larry Schellhammer, and Allamakee County Auditor Denise Beyer. Photo and report by Bob Beach.
Supervisors hear update from Planning
and Zoning Commission in regard to frac
sand mining regulations and ordinances
by Bob Beach
During the regular meeting of the Allamakee County Board of Supervisors Monday, August 26, Allamakee County Planning and Zoning Administrator Tom Blake updated the Board on the Planning and Zoning Commission's progress with developing appropriate ordinances and regulations for frac sand mining operations. Blake said that the Commission has scheduled six public forums (see schedule in shaded box below), one of which has already been held, to receive public input on the various aspects of the issue, such as air quality/quantity, road wear, dust, economic impact, etc. Blake said that the Commission is also examining ordinances from other jurisdictions and is compiling information in order to draft recommended ordinances and possibly an addendum to the County Comprehensive Plan. The Commission's goal, he said, is to draft regulations that are not "overly burdensome" but will protect the public. He added that the Commission is on track to complete its work on the issue within the 18-month moratorium period, but that extending the moratorium remains an option if the process can't be completed within that time. The Board then turned its attention to Makee Manor, having learned last week that the renovations to the facility for use as a jail or for another purpose for which it was not designed would be prohibitively expensive. Chairman Larry Schellhammer said that the cost of maintaining the facility as it sits empty would
amount to approximately $40,000 per year. He said that the Board welcomes public input with regard to the future use of the building, adding that the Board "would love to see it reopened and employ people." After some discussion, the Board voted to direct Allamakee County Attorney Jill Kistler to start the process to put the building up for sale. The Board met with Allamakee County Engineer Brian Ridenour, who reported that he had spoken with the County Attorney about how to resolve last week's bidding tie between Fauser Energy Resources and Postville Farmers Coop to provide LP gas for several County departments. He said that Kistler had advised him that the Board could resolve the tie in any way it choses, but recommended that the Board followtheIowaDepartment of Transportation policy, which is to award the contract to the bidder that was awarded the contract in the previous year, which in this case was Fauser. Chairman Schellhammer and Supervisor Sherry Strub voted to follow Ridenour's recommendation and award the contract to Fauser.

Supervisor Dennis Koenig voted no on that motion, preferring that the contract be awarded to Postville Farmers Coop. The Board also met with Allamakee County Conservationist LuAnn Rolling, who presented the Board with inspection reports for the English Bench and Little Paint watersheds that detailed damages caused by ooding this spring. Ridenour said that he had sent the maintenance agreements for the watersheds to FEMA to determine if the cost of repairs could be covered under the recent federal disaster declaration for public infrastructure. The Board directed Rolling to look into other possible funding sources to pay for the necessary repairs. In other business, the Board set Monday, September 9 at 9:15 a.m. as the date and time for a public hearing on a request to rezone the Paint Creek Cabins subdivision from Agricultural (A1) to low-density residential (R2). The Board also approved the hiring of Jeremy Bjerke as an assistant to the County Engineer starting September 3 at a wage of $21 per hour.

The Klees- es have touched many lives through their dedication, encouragement, commitment, and guidance to the Allama- kee County 4-H Program. Honorees were selected by their counties for their outstanding service and dedication to 4-H. Inductees or their surviving family members were presented a certicate by the Iowa 4-H Foundation as they were introduced on stage. A reception was held shortly after each of the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame presentations. This is a wonderful opportunity for the counties and state to recognize and celebrate 4-H volunteers and staff who have shown outstanding service and dedication to Iowas 4-H program, said Chris Gleason, of ISU Exten- sion and Outreach 4-HYouth Development. Counties select inductees
for their exceptional work in contributing to the lives of 4-H members and the overall 4-H program. Many inductees served as club leaders, youth mentors, fair superintendents or fair board members, Iowa State Univer- sity Extension county council members, county youth council members, fair judges, nancial supporters, chaperones or ISU Extension staff members. The inductees have demonstrated dedication, encouragement, commitment and guidance to Iowas 4-Hers through the years. The 4-H spirit was alive and robust on Sunday! It was a great opportunity to hear stories and their past in the Iowa 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fair. com- mented Kris Fish Kuhlmann, Executive Director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation.

75 Years Ago
July 12, 1939

This Week in the
County, State and Nation
Heat records for the last
three years in Iowa were
shattered Tuesday when the
mercury soared to an ofcial
mark of 111.4 at Sioux City
about 4:30 p.m. Not since the
hot summer of 1936, when
for 15 consecutive days in
July temperatures were 100
or above, has Iowa experi-
enced such readings.
Temperatures shot above
the 100 mark Thursday and
to a seasons high in many
places. Two deaths and nu-
merous prostrations were re-
ported. In the late afternoon
thunderstorms broke the heat
wave in northwest and north-
central Iowa. Decorah and
Eldora were the states hottest
points, each with readings of
102 degrees.

atives there.

Harpers Ferry
The baseball game here
Sunday was a disappoint-
ment. Orwoll was off form
and the Farmersburg heavy
hitters hit him with ease. The
score was a lop-sided one in
favor of the visitors.

Mrs. Ray Cahalan and
family left here Monday for
Missouri to join her husband,
who is employed there.

Lansing Locals
Mrs. Leo Olson of Wau-
kon, and sister, Stella Wal-

vanquished in their ball game
Sunday at Mabel, Minn., by a
score of 12 to 3.

A number of the local
stockholders of the Iowa-
Wisconsin Bridge Co. at-
tended the annual meeting at
Lansing Saturday. It was not
a serene affair by any means,
they report, and say that what
is needed more than all else is
a bridge to span the gulf be-
tween the two factions of the
company that doesnt narrow
any as time rolls on.

Councilmen P.J. Mahoney,
O.J. Moe and John Colsch
and Street Commissioner
John Beede drove over to
Ossian one day last week to
inspect and acquaint them-
selves with the street oiling
process, a street improve-
ment that is contemplated
in Waukon, which is now
in evidence at Ossian. Our
city dads were favorably im-
pressed with what they saw
and pronounced the composi-
tion good stuff, so to speak,
that had the appearance of the
black top kind of paving.

Des Moines (DR) Feder-
al taxes paid by Iowans dur-
ing the year that ended June
30 totaled $530,513,431.79,
the second highest collec-
tion for the state. Frank
Halpin, Iowa district inter-
nal revenue director, said
Thursday. Highest payments
by Iowans were during the
year that ended June 30,
1953, when collections to-
taled $535,808,882.16. The
average payment of about
$204 for each of the states
2,621,073 residents in the

ly to an average of $202 per

tion was the purchase of the
Leonard Heiderscheit house

Wheatland, who works at
the locker and creamery. Mr.
Heiderscheit has purchased a
lot from Mrs. Ruth Tufts and
George Angel and will build
his family a new home there.

Lansing Locals
North Second Street resi-
dents got another scare Sun-
day afternoon when one of
the little Irons girls saw a
snake on the hillside where
many of the kids are playing
all of the time. She called her
mother and Mrs. Irons went
over and saw a big four foot
rattler with seven rattles and
a button. Ben Irons came out
and killed it with a spade, this
being the second one killed
on that street within the past
two weeks. It is thought there
must be a den of them on the
hills about town as on the hol-
iday Fourth of July Tom Gil-
bertson was threatened with
one on Mt. Hosmer while he
was rescuing a little dog that
had fallen over the cliff up
there. Since the unprecedent-
ed rains the past month mak-
ing the foliage so heavy they
are exceptionally hard to nd
unless they crawl out into the
open we have been told.

Saturday afternoon the old
town was greeted with about
thirty or more people, young
and old from Ferryville, Wis.,
who had come over in boats
to look about the shopping
district of town. Some of
them were much impressed
with the stores and bought
some things. They are all
anxiously awaiting the open-
ing of the bridge next year
sometime when undoubtedly
Lansing will get more than its
share of Wisconsin shoppers.

Waukon Briefs
According to radio reports
Friday noon Cyril (Stub) El-
liott, who with his family live
in Cedar Rapids, was injured
while working at the Iowa
Steel and Iron Co. Friday. He
was handling a steel beam
which came in contact with
33,000 volts of electricity,
causing him to receive pain-
ful burns to his hands and had
his shoes burned off. He was
taken to Mercy hospital for
treatment and thankful that it
was not more serious.

The Upper Iowa Saddle
Club enjoyed their travel ride
Sunday at the Harold ONeill
farm home on West Ridge.
Representatives from all
points of the county were in

for Lansings Fish Day where
they will put on a special ex-
hibition program.
