Board of Supervisors hears
about funding suggestions for
proposed jail/safety center,
change in health insurance
by Bob Beach
During public comment
time at the regular meeting of
the Allamakee County Board
of Supervisors Tuesday,
October 7, Tom Baxter of
rural Waukon told the Board
that while he supports the
construction of a new jail
and public safety center,
he believes that the Board
should consider selling a
portion of the cropland at the
County Farm to help fund the
proposed project.
Board Chairman Larry
Schellhammer said that it
would be very controversial
to sell a County asset like that,
but the Board would consider
it as an option if wide public
support for the sale could be
demonstrated.
Supervisor Sherry Strub
said that she believes
that many people are not
hearing the "up to" part of
the up to $4.9 million bond
referendum, pointing out
that the $4.9 million gure is
the maximum amount to be
borrowed to fund the project.
She said that the Board could
consider different funding
options after the passage of
the bond referendum, such
as the sale of County land or
drawing from the County's
cash reserves so that less
money could be borrowed
and the corresponding levy
could be lessened.
Dan Byrnes of Waukon,
the Democratic nominee
for a seat on the Board of
Supervisors in the November
4 general election, told the
Board that he believes it may
be better to use the proceeds
for the rent collected for the
County Farm land to pay
down the bond, rather than
sell the land.
The Board also met with
Chris Sanscraint representing
the County's health insurance
carrier, Gundersen Health
Plan, who told the Board
that the Mayo Clinic Health
System had elected to
discontinue its contract as a
provider for the Gundersen
Health Plan. He told the
Board that this means that
effective January 1, 2015,
County employees covered
under the County's group
health insurance plan would
no longer be covered if they
receive healthcare from a
Mayo provider.
Sanscraint said that
because Gundersen could
not continue to offer the
"plus" option to the County,
the six-month premium from
January through June would
be reduced by approximately
six percent. He said that he
would also be willing to
calculate premium changes
if the County were to add
a "point of service" option
to its policy, which would
increase premiums but would
allow County employees to
continue to receive care from
Mayo providers. The Board
directed the County employee
insurance committee to
explore the options and
present a recommendation to
the Board.
In other business, the
Board approved the contract
and bonds with Skyline
Construction for ood repair
projects totaling $161,270.15.
The Board also accepted the
letter of resignation of Greg
Gilbertson, who has worked
for the Secondary Roads
Department for 16 years.

Allamakee County Conservation Board tours recent park projects ...
Allamakee County Conservation Director Jim Janett recently led members of the County Conservation Board on
a tour of several of the many sites established and maintained by Allamakee County Conservation. The rst stop on
the tour was Stonebrook Park (pictured above), located across the road from the former location of the Old Stone
House on the banks of the Yellow River in southern Allamakee County. Construction of a new shelter house was
recently completed at the site, along with an information kiosk, outhouse and handicapped-accessible walkways
connecting them. The group also visited the Volney Conservation Park (pictured directly below), located at the
junction of Bear Creek and the Yellow River, where playground equipment purchased with funds from a Carver Grant
was installed several years ago. The nal stop on the tour was the Kolsrud Memorial Park near Waterville, which was
donated by the Robert and Eunice Kolsrud family in memory of Helmer and Emma Kolsrud. The park features the
rst handicapped-accessible trout shing area in the state of Iowa, in addition to playground equipment purchased
with Carver Grant funds (both features pictured in bottom two photos below). Janett also discussed possibilities of
expanding the park to include land recently donated by the Halverson family. Standard photos/report by Bob Beach.

Ebola was something that
was not in the conversation
just six months ago. Now, it
has become an issue where
not only our government and
health ofcials are nervous,
but Americans are more
than concerned due to the
outbreak in western Africa
and the death in Dallas, TX
of an Ebola-infected patient.
Due to the severity of the
disease, the deadly threat to
humans and the absence of an
effective medicine to combat
infection and the spread of
the infection, how safe are
the citizens of one of the most
advanced nations in the entire
world? Are federal, state and
local authorities prepared if
Ebola becomes more than
an isolated incident and
becomes a cluster? What is
Ebola, and how did it ever get
to the threat it is today?
Science and medicine have
in place the investigative
ability to pinpoint the point
of origin of a particular
disease. There exists enough
evidence, using historical
records and DNA samples
of the virus dating back to
the 1950s, that HIV can be
traced to 1920s Kinshasa,
(formerly Leopoldville), of
the Democratic Republic of
the Congo. An international
team of scientists led by
the universities of Oxford
in England and Leuven in
Belgium believe that infected
chimpanzee bush meat
was sold in Kinshasa and
the disease was then spread
throughout the population
thanks to the 600-mile
railroad in the region.
Ebola, named after a
river in Zaire, is believed to
have rst emerged in Zaire
and Sudan. Ebolas natural
reservoir has not yet been
identied, but it is believed
that the virus is animal borne
and that bats, used as bush
meat, are the most likely
reservoir. There are ve
strains of Ebola that occur
in an animal host native to
Africa, of which four may
infect humans.
What medicine has
discovered so far is that Ebola
is spread by an infected person
having active symptoms, that
direct contact with bodily
uids of a sick person will
contribute to the infection
being active from person to
person. An individual cannot
become infected with the
virus through food, water or
by air. The virus may develop
symptoms two to 21 days,
symptoms ranging from a
cough and sore throat that
progresses to a fever and
by day ve may develop
to hemorrhagic (bleeding)
symptoms.
The Ebola virus obstructs
the important immune
compound called interferon
from emitting an antiviral
message from entering the
cells nucleus and triggering
an immune response. By two
weeks, those infected either
improve rapidly or decline
rapidly into a state of shock
and death, about 50% to
100%, depending on what
strain of Ebola one is infected
with.
Those that do survive may
still die from organ failure
and other complications
due to the infection. There
Allamakee Public Safety
Committee to host variety of
public information meetings

al public in regard to the proposed construction of a new

PARENTS CAN HELP
CHILDREN WITH
ABDUCTION
CONCERNS
Parents naturally are
concerned for their childrens
safety, particularly when
there is news of attempted
child abductions that happen
close to home. Finding the
balance between emotions
and the teachable moment
as parents talk to their
children is important.
Kids might be dealing with
their own fears based upon
what they are seeing on TV or
hearing from others. Parents
can take this opportunity
to share with their children
important information to help
avoid potentially dangerous
situations, but need to
approach it in a manner that
doesnt create unhealthy fears
in children. ISU Extension
Family Life specialists offer
the following suggestions.
Emphasize with your child
that strangers should not be
asking children for help, but
it is OK for a child to ask an
adult for help when needed.
Encourage your child to
trust his or her intuition and
to take action when sensing
danger. Point out ways your
child has learned to stay
safe, such as saying no
and running away when he
or she is concerned about a
situation. And help your child
identify safe places such as
schools, libraries, churches
and businesses.
An analysis of all attempted
abduction cases by the
National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children
found that in 84 percent of
cases, the children escaped
their would-be abductors
through their own actions.
It is important that parents
make it a priority to talk with
their children about safety
from predators not as a once
and then done conversation,
but as an ongoing dialogue as
their children grow older.
As children age from
adolescence to "tweens"
to teens, the conversation
around child safety should
evolve. The Take 25
campaign sponsored by the
National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children offers
age-appropriate discussion
guides and activity sheets
related to safety topics.
Resources can be accessed at
http://www.take25.org.
Help Young People Process
Thoughts, Feelings
Parents should watch
their children closely for
signs of anxiousness. Being
open to talk about those
feelings while developing
safety strategies can help
children feel in control of
situations. They can learn
to make good choices when
faced with possible unsafe
circumstances, while still
enjoying some of the carefree
aspects of childhood.
Be open to how your
child might be feeling and
talk with him or her with
sincerity and honesty. This
is an opportunity to discuss
any number of issues -
from children not putting
themselves in particularly
dangerous situations to how
to react when they sense they
might be in potential danger.
This is a teachable moment,
so use it! But doing so in a
calm, reassuring manner will
help your point come across
more clearly without raising
unhealthy fears in young
people.
Iowans can call ISU
Extension and Outreachs
Iowa Concern Hotline,
800-447-1985, for help
and referrals for dealing
with stress, crisis and loss.

aimed at encouraging teens
around the area to read for
the fun of it. Thousands of
libraries, schools and book-

hold similar events centered
on this years theme, "Turn
Dreams into Reality @ your
library."
Teen Read Week is a
time to celebrate reading for
fun while encouraging teens
to take advantage of reading
in all its forms - books, mag-
azines, e-books, audiobooks
and more. It is also a great
opportunity to encourage
teens to become regular li-
brary users.
In recent years, many
families have had to adapt to
make do with less as a result
of the economy. Teen Read
Week is a great opportunity
for teens and their families to
learn about all the free ser-
vices and resources the li-
brary offers. The library also
offers a safe and supervised
space for adolescents to en-
gage in creative, educational
activities with caring adults
and mentors.
Moreover, strong reading
skills are more critical than
ever because they translate
into better performance at
school and better prepared-
ness for careers. This is why

nished in 2015 because an
extension to the grant for
completion of work has been
led. There is still money
available in the program and
the City would like to see
the funding utilized. Home-
owners can receive up to
$7,000 for help in repairing
or replacing windows/doors,
roofs, electrical, furnace or
driveways. This is a ve-
year receding forgivable loan
which benets those who live
in homes needing repair but
with limited income to keep
up with those needed repairs.
The application process is
fairly easy and homeowners
are encouraged to do the pa-
perwork even though they are
not quite sure if they would or
would not qualify.
Applications for the pro-
gram can be obtained from
Sarah Snitker at Upper Ex-
plorerland Regional Planning
Commission by calling 563-

Inaugural Neighbors Day successful for
New Albin Improvement League (NAIL)
New Albin Improvement
League (NAIL) held a suc-
cessful rst Neighbors Day
Saturday, October 4. With
around 20 volunteers, the
event was considered to be a
big success.
Although the weather was
a challenge, all the volunteer
jobs were completed and a
few random acts of kindness
were added to the list. The
volunteers did a lot of raking,
window washing and small
jobs for elderly people in New
Albin. NAIL plans to hold a
similar event in the spring to
help with winter clean up for
the elderly of New Albin.
The day went well, NAIL
volunteer Kersten Meyer said.
All of the New Albin neigh-
bors that received help were
so grateful and appreciative!
I cant tell you how many
times they said thank you! It
was very rewarding to see the
smiles on their faces when the
jobs were done. I am looking
forward to what next years
Neighbors Day has in store.
NAIL is currently plan-
ning a Halloween Bash for
the citizens of New Albin and
surrounding communities.
The event will include kids
games, a costume contest,
hayrides and a free-will do-
nation meal during the event.
This event is free to the public
and families are encouraged
to come dressed in costumes
to enjoy a spooky day.
The Halloween Bash will
be located at the New Albin
Townhouse and Stone Quarry
Saturday, October 25 from
1-4 p.m. For more informa-
tion, contact Alexie at 563-

With early detection and timely treatment, deaths from oral
cancer could be dramatically reduced. Possible signs or
symptoms of oral cancer may be a lump or thickening in the
oral soft tissues, soreness or a feeling that something is
caught in the throat, difficulty chewing or swallowing, ear
pain, difficulty moving the jaw or tongue, hoarseness,
numbness of the tongue or other areas of the mouth, or
swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to fit poorly or
become uncomfortable.
If the above problems persist for more than two weeks,
a thorough clinical examination and laboratory tests, as
necessary, should be performed to obtain a definitive
diagnosis.
A thorough head and neck examination is a part of our
doctors routine dental visit. To fight cancer best, your
cancer care team should include a dentist.
Call your dentist with any questions you may have.

soldiers. More than 106,000
quilts have been awarded
since. In the past year, local
guild members have made
several quilts that have been
given to area veterans. During
the show guild members will
also be sewing on Quilts of
Valor quilts, and there will
also be a special Quilts of
Valor presentation Sunday at
2 p.m. at the show.
Show attendees can also
take a self-guided tour
through the New Albin Cow
quilts. The herd of quilts be-
gan as a retreat project with
the New Albin Loose Change
quilt group. Members added
their own special touches to
the basic directions from the
book Out of the Box with
Easy Blocks by Mary Lou
Weidman and Melanie Bau-
tista McFarland. Some of the
cows on display will include
Cow-Punzel, Bessy Ross,
Camo Cow, Butter Cow,
Flood Cow and Ferdinand
the Bull.
Vendors will be on site and
a lunch stand will be open
during the show. Pictures of
the rafe quilt and other in-
formation about the show and
the guild are available on the
guild web site at www.neiqg.
com. Show co-chairs are Barb
Davidson of Decorah and Ar-
lene Klatt of Fayette.
There are approximate-
ly 100 members in the guild
who live in northeast Iowa,
southwest Wisconsin and
southeast Minnesota. North-
east Iowa Quilt Guild mem-
bers have exhibited, won
awards or taught at American
Quilter's Society in Paducah,
KY, Quilt Expo in Madison,
WI, Iowa State Fair in Des
Moines, Hoffman Fabrics
traveling exhibit, published
patterns, high school, adult
education and community
college continuing education
classes.

Ebola ...
Continued from Page 1A
is currently no vaccine or
specic treatment for Ebola.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control, CDC,
measures taken for treatment
include maintaining
oxygen status and blood
pressure plus the balancing
of the patients uid and
electrolytes recommended
when the infected individual
is hospitalized.
The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services,
the CDC, and the Iowa
Department of Health are
working closely with local
health care providers to
ensure that communities are
protected and are able to deal
with the possibility of an
Ebola infection at the local
level. Talking points and
detailed hospital checklists
are provided so local
hospitals are able to meet any
possible emergency situation.
Updated information is
essential in maintaining the
strategies important to ght
the possible emergence of
the virus and controlling any
possible outbreak.
What health and
government agencies do not
want to see is the scenario
now playing out in many of
the African nations under
re with Ebola infection.
Mike Myers, administrator of
in Waukon, is well aware of
the parameters of what an
Ebola incident entails and
feels that the local medical
staff is prepared in case there
is an Ebola emergency.
Allamakee County
has undergone training
previously incorporating
both law enforcement,
government health agencies
and the schools to respond
in the event that there is a
wide spread infection that
occurs, observes Myers,
adding that, previously we
had practiced with possible
anthrax exposure in setting
up clinics for screening. The
scenario has been practiced.
We feel condent that we can
handle the unlikely event that
Ebola would spread here in
Allamakee County.
Myers further added that
has, on a regular basis,
admitted patients with an
infectious process requiring
isolation. Hospital personnel
are comfortable with the
ability to maintain isolation
and keeping a patient isolated
if appropriate, unless the
medical condition would
encourage staff to transfer
the patient to a larger medical
system that would have
the facilities to handle the
patients condition.
Thanks to both federal
and state efforts in keeping
updated with the status of
Ebola in the United States
and giving reminders to
review the hospital's current
protocols, plus the updates
from the CDC and the Iowa
Department of Public Health,
as well as recommendations
and guidance, local
implementation of measures
for healthcare infection
control are developed and
in the ready at Veterans
Memorial Hospital.
The facility and its
supporting medical staff
undergoes annual training
on isolation, and Personal
Protective Equipment is on
hand for such emergencies
and incidents. With training,
experience with some local
tuberculosis infections and
updates from other agencies
in the state and at the federal
level, policies and protocols
are in place to treat any
patients suspected of having
Ebola-type symptoms.
The fear of the local
hospital refusing care for
a suspected Ebola patient
is not a reality; Myers says
will not deny care. Hospitals
in the United States are
required to provide screening
examinations for all people
who present themselves to the
hospital's emergency room.
If suspected of infection
with Ebola, isolation and
evaluation follows with
suggestions of appropriate
care either here or at a larger
medical facility.
Myers wants to reassure
the public that one cannot
compare Ebola events in
other countries to the United
States. The United States has
better sanitation and facilities
to treat patients than those
countries that are currently
undergoing the Ebola issue,
commented Myers, adding
that working closely with
other local hospitals and the
Allamakee Board of Health
ensures a readiness and
preparation at the local level.
The onslaught of the
Ebola virus has emerged as
front page news. Due to high
mortality rates and the lack of
a vaccine and cure, people are
frightened. But people have
to remember that disease is
nothing new in the history
of humanity; there was the
Spanish u during World
War I and the emergence
of West Nile virus, plus the
ravages of HIV that began
in the 1970s in this country
which many have survived
the ravages. In Uganda there
is the Marburg virus, a highly
infectious hemorrhagic fever
similar to Ebola. A disease
similar to Ebola and Marburg
has popped up in Venezuela,
medical personnel not
knowing what it is. In Central
and South America there
are cases of Chikungunya,
an excruciating mosquito-
borne illness, and the United
States is experiencing the
mysterious enterovirus D-68
that has sickened a number of
children.
With the vigilance and
tenacity of science and
medicine, the medical world
has met and conquered and
controlled malaria, polio,
bubonic plaque, yellow
fever, small pox and a host
of killers in the past, and
will continue to do so in
the future. With national,
state and local government
and health authorities,
communities in Allamakee
County are in much better
shape than what is being
experienced in other regions
on the planet. Knowledge
shared with local ofcials
and the dissemination of that
information, plus continued
training, have local medical
professionals in a position to
be on top of this issue.

ARC/PLC Farm Program
Updates
For the 2014 and 2015
farm bill election of PLC,
ARC-CO or ARC-IC, the Al-
lamakee County FSA ofce
needs landowners to notify
the Allamakee County FSA
Ofce if there is a change of
operator on their farm from
2014 to 2015 crop year. We
will need to know who the
current operators on the farm.
If a landowner sold their
farm and the new owner did
not come into the Allama-
kee FSA Ofce to report the
change, this will affect the
new farm program. The re-
cords need to be updated as
soon as possible.
1. The landowners for the
PLC/ARC-CO/ARC-IC pro-
gram select the base acres
reallocation or if the land-
owner will keep the current
2013 base. This also goes for
the yields if the landowner
will be updating yields or
will keep the past yields. The
timeframe for the owners to
complete this process is Sep-
tember 29, 2014 February
27, 2015.
2. The current producer
with the interest in crop land
will elect which farm bill
program - PLC, ARC-IC or
ARC-CO option to go with.
NOTE: There will be no
changing each year between
elections of PLC, ARC-IC or
ARC-CO. The program that
is elected for 2014 goes from
2014-2018 crop years. The
timeframe for the elections
for current operators will be
November 17, 2014 March
31, 2015.

Margin Protection Program
for Dairy Producers
The 2014 Farm Bill au-
thorized the Margin Protec-
tion Program (MPP-Dairy)
for dairy producers. The new,
voluntary risk management
program replaces the Milk In-
come Loss Contract (MILC)
program which expires on
September 1, 2014.
MPP-Dairy offers protec-
tion to dairy producers when
the difference (the margin)
between the all-milk price
and national average feed
cost falls below a certain pro-
ducer selected amount.
Eligible producers may
purchase coverage for their
dairy operation by paying an
annual administrative fee of
$100 and a premium, as ap-
plicable, for higher levels of
coverage. Producers in the
dairy operation will have
to select a desired coverage
level ranging from $4.00 to
$8.00, in $0.50 increments
and a desired coverage per-
centage level ranging from
25 to 90 percent, in 5 percent
increments. Producers will
also have to decide whether
or not to participate in the
MPP-Dairy Program or the
Livestock Gross Margin pro-
gram administered by the
Risk Management Agency
(RMA), but they will not be
allowed to participate in both.
A decision tool will be
made available in the fall of
2014 to help producers make
coverage level decisions. En-
rollment will also begin this
fall. Dairy operators will es-
tablish their production his-
tory during sign-up. Verica-
tion of the production records
will be required. The regula-
tions for MPP-dairy are still
being developed. Additional
information about the pro-
gram will be provided as it
becomes available.
USDA Reminds Farmers of
2014 Farm Bill Conservation
Compliance Changes
Changes mandated
through the 2014 Farm Bill
require producers to have a
Highly Erodible Land Con-
servation and Wetland Con-
servation Certication (AD-
1026) on le. For farmers
to be eligible for premium
support on their federal crop
insurance, a completed and
signed AD-1026 form must
be on le with the FSA. Since
many FSA and Natural Re-
source Conservation (NRCS)
programs have this require-
ment, most producers should
already have an AD-1026 on
le. If producers have not
led, they must do so by June
1, 2015.
When a farmer com-
pletes the AD-1026, FSA
and NRCS staff will outline
any additional actions that
may be required for compli-
ance with the provisions. The
Risk Management Agency,
through the Federal Crop In-
surance Corporation (FCIC),
manages the federal crop
insurance program that pro-
vides the modern farm safety
net for American farmers and
ranchers.
Since enactment of the
1985 Farm Bill, eligibility for
most commodity, disaster and
conservation programs has
been linked to compliance
with the highly erodible land
conservation and wetland
conservation provisions. The
2014 Farm Bill continues the
requirement that producers
adhere to conservation com-
pliance guidelines to be eligi-
ble for most programs admin-
istered by FSA and NRCS.
This includes the new price
and revenue protection pro-
grams, the Conservation Re-
serve Program, the Livestock
Disaster Assistance programs
and Marketing Assistance
Loans implemented by FSA.
It also includes the Environ-
mental Quality Incentives
Program, the Conservation
Stewardship Program, and
other conservation programs.
FSA recently released a re-
vised form AD-1026, which
is available at USDA Ser-
vice Centers and online at:
www.fsa.usda.gov. USDA
will publish a rule later this
year that will provide details
outlining the connection of
conservation compliance
with crop insurance premium
support. Producers can also
contact their local USDA Ser-
vice Center for information.
A listing of service center
locations is available at www.
nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/
nrcs/main/national/contact/
local/.
REMINDER: Farm Bill Allows
Early Termination for Certain
CRP Contracts
Producers with acres under
contract through the Con-
servation Reserve Program
(CRP) can apply for early
contract termination, as re-
quired by the 2014 Farm Bill.
The deadline to request early
CRP contract termination is
January 30, 2015.
The effective date for early
termination is no earlier than
October 1, 2014. The CRP
contract must been in effect
for at least ve years and
other conditions must be met.
The 2014 Farm Bill identi-
es 10 exceptions whereby
land will not be eligible for
the early-out provisions.
For a complete list of these
exceptions, please view the
program fact sheet online
at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/
Internet/FSA_File/crp_opt_
out_fact_sht.pdf.
Once a CRP contract ter-
mination request is approved
by the FSA County Com-
mittee, the decision cannot
be reversed and the contract
cannot be reinstated. Produc-
ers must meet conservation
compliance provisions for all
land that will be returned to
production.
For more information on,
or to determine eligibility for,
early termination of existing
CRP contracts, please contact
your local FSA ofce. For lo-
cal FSA Service Center con-
tact information, please visit:

Nominations sought for Iowa
Beef Quality Assurance Awards
Quality beef begins with
quality care. The Iowa Beef
Industry Council wants to
recognize beef producers and
marketers who diligently care
for and properly handle cattle
in order to provide consum-
ers with safe and wholesome
beef. Applications for Iowas
2014 Iowa Beef Quality As-
surance (BQA) Awards are
now being accepted.
BQA is a national pro-
gram for beef cattle produc-
tion that assures the highest
standards of animal care and
treatment. It was developed
with guidance from leading
animal health and well-being
experts and outlines essential
elements for cattle care. More
than 90 percent of all U.S.
beef is raised under the BQA
program.
The Iowa BQA program
recognizes an outstanding
beef producer, dairy producer
and/or beef marketer who best
demonstrate BQA practices,
including sound animal hus-
bandry practices. Nominees
should be BQA-certied and
work to continually improve
BQA on their operations
while operating sustainable
cattle businesses. The desire
to encourage fellow produc-
ers to implement BQA and
communicate what the indus-
try is doing to ensure qual-
ity cattle care is a plus. The
award is open to all segments
of the industry commercial
cow-calf, seedstock, back-
grounders, feedyards, dairy
operations, auction markets
operators and veterinarians.
The BQA programs mis-
sion is to maximize consumer
condence in beef while ex-
ceeding their eating expecta-
tions, said Doug Bear, Di-
rector of Industry Relations
for the Iowa Beef Industry
Council. The BQA Award
is a way to recognize the
outstanding men and women
who put great tasting beef on
our consumers plate every
day.
Completed entries are due
by Friday, November 14,
2014. The Iowa BQA Award
winners will be selected by
a committee of fellow cattle
producers, veterinarians,
pharmaceutical representa-
tives and others who have a
vested interest in the future
of the beef industry. Nomi-
nations can be submitted by
any organization, group or in-
dividual on behalf of an Iowa
beef producer or marketer.
Individuals and families may
not nominate themselves;
however, the nominees are
expected to be involved in
the preparation of the appli-
cation. For further informa-
tion on these awards or to
download the application,
visit www.iabeef.org >For
Producers>Iowa Beef Qual-
ity Assurance.

... some ofcial com-
menting on possible actions
to control the Ebola out-
break in Africa, and its pos-
sible threat to residents of
the United States, made one
of the dumbest comments I
have ever heard. Asked if it
would be wise to halt travel
from those areas of Africa in-
volved into the United States,
he was aghast. We cant do
that! We owe it to them not to
do that, he said.
Asked why, he said it is
because we forced former
slaves to go there to settle.
I am no student of that sub-
ject, but I got the impression
it was a movement designed
to accommodate slaves who
had already been freed by
former masters, mainly in
northeast states. They named
the capital after Pres. James
Monroe. It started in 1822,
more than 40 years before all
slaves were emancipated
in the United States. And be-
fore and after emancipation,
great numbers of freed slaves
apparently never took advan-
tage of that new country in
Africa. In fact, I think I read
that fewer than three percent
of the current residents of
that country are descendants
of former U.S. slaves, about
the same number as descen-
dants of slaves from other
nations. The rest are descen-
dants of native Africans.
So what we owe them
doesnt amount to much
when there are so few of
them.
And who are the we?
Those of us who are de-
scendants of immigrants
from Europe, most of whom
came here after the Civil War,
had nothing to do with slav-
ery. Same is true of later im-
migrants from Mexico, Japan
and China.
So just as there are few
them there, there is little
we here outside of the
old families of the south
and southeast whose ances-
tors kept slaves.
This not an opinion on
whether a travel ban would
be good or bad, or even suc-
cessful.
Its just that there is enough
ascribed white guilt to go
around without adding to it
via some imsy, if not actu-
ally misleading, information.
The resignation of Eric
Holder as attorney general
immediately raised specula-
tion that he would be Presi-
dent Obamas choice for a
possible vacancy on the Su-
preme Court.
Some left-leaning media
types are urging the presi-
dent not to be hasty, because
that nomination would result
in strong opposition from
the opposition party, which
would not be good. Remem-
bering, obviously, the Bork-
ing by Ted Kennedy on that
nomination, and the charac-
ter assassination of Justice
Clarence Thomas.
But there is also the mat-
ter of Holders own bias. I
am the attorney general, but I
am also a black man, he was
quoted as saying in Missouri,
adding that he was humiliat-
ed after being stopped twice
by law ofcers for speeding,
who then searched his car.
That resulted in a history of
mistrust and suspicion. Per-
haps accounting for his advo-
cacy on behalf of minorities.
But the descriptions of the
duties of a Supreme Court
justice and attorney general
dont seem to include advo-
cacy, but deciding matters of
law on appeal. Or has that
changed, too?
On a more pleasant (slight-
ly) topic, I noticed that the
Chicago Cubs did not nish
with the worst record in the
Major Leagues this season.
Far from it. Six teams had
worse records. Three teams
were tied with the same num-
ber of defeats. That means
the Cubs were as good or bet-
ter than nine of the 30 teams.
Wait until next year.
Rev. Steve Oden
A Kingdom
Life Byte to
Meditate On
When the dis-
ciples asked Je-
sus to teach them
how to pray, Je-
sus gave them a
model prayer, a
framework for our
prayers called the
Lords Prayer. In
this prayer, the
Lord teaches us to
pray, Thy King-
dom come, Thy
will be done, on earth as it
is in heaven. Im sure many
reading this have prayed this
phrase often, but what does it
really mean, and how do we,
in answer to this prayer, bring
about His will and Kingdom
into the earth?
To get an understanding
of what Jesus was saying, we
need to go back to the begin-
ning. Gods earliest and origi-
nal plan, His original intent
for man was rmly established
in the beginning, and this is
found in the book of begin-
nings, the book of Genesis in
the Bible in the rst chapter.
On the sixth day God said,
Let Us make man in Our im-
age, according to Our likeness.
Let them have dominion over
the sh of the sea, over the
birds of the air and over every
creeping thing that creeps on
the earth. So God created man
in His own image; in the im-
age of God He created them,
male and female He created
them. So God blessed them
and said to them, Be fruitful
and multiply; ll the earth and
subdue it.
God intended man to have
dominion on the earth and
subdue it in legitimate stew-
ardship (not worship it). That
was mans only job descrip-
tion. Man was not directed
to have dominion over other
people, yet most problems in
society stem from man trying
to have dominion over another
man. Where do wars, oppres-
sion and murders come from?
Or closer to home, many di-
vorces? These are examples of
illegitimate dominion.
But, Gods original job
description for man, the rst
Adam, was stolen and lost.
Thats what thieves do; the
devil comes to steal, kill and
destroy. The devil, in hatred
for God, cunningly usurped
this great privilege from man,
and Gods plan and intent be-
came corrupted. With this sin-
ful abdication of responsibil-
ity, things did not go well for
man and ultimately creation.
But the Good News is that
God had a wonderful plan of
restoration.
Fast forward now four
thousand years. For this
purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that He might de-
stroy the works of the devil.
A father brought his son to the
disciples, but they could not
set him free from his inrmi-
ties. Later the disciples asked
Jesus why they couldnt get it
done. Jesus told them that it
was because of their unbelief.
There are only two reasons Je-
sus ever gave for failure to the
accomplishing of Gods will-
unbelief and traditions of men.
Jesus said that the traditions of
men make the Word of God
of no effect through your tra-
ditions which you
have handed down,
and many such
things you do.
Jesus, the sec-
ond or last Adam,
exemplied the
legitimate domin-
ion and author-
ity that man was
originally to walk
in. Through Jesus
birth, life, death,
burial, resurrection
and ascension, all
that was lost and
stolen in the be-
ginning was reinstated. This
is Good News! Jesus emptied
Himself of everything that was
God and became a man, a hu-
man being. Jesus was able to
do the things He did because
He was a man anointed by
the Holy Spirit, not because
He was God. Therefore, Je-
sus could condently make
the claim that the same works
He did, we could and would
do also- even greater things
because He would go to the
Father.
As our example, Jesus
walked upon this earth as a
man exhibiting Kingdom do-
minion and authority. A few
examples of this would be as
follows: dominion over the
weather/elements (spoke to
and calmed the storm), turned
water into wine, walked on
water (Peter did too), raised
the dead, cast out demons
(dominion over dark forces),
healed all sickness and disease
(dominion over germs and
bugs/creeping things), cursed/
spoke to a g tree and it with-
ered in 24 hours (dominion
over living things), recreated
body parts (the high priests
servants ear), multiplied a
few sh to feed thousands,
commanded sh to gather for
a net-breaking, boat-sinking
catch (dominion over the sh
of the sea), exercised domin-
ion over sin (He was sinless),
and had authority to forgive
sin. And you know of Je-
sus of Nazareth, how God
anointed Him with the Holy
Spirit and power, Who went
about doing good and healing
all who were oppressed of the
devil, for God was with Him.
Acts 10:38 Jesus never domi-
nated over another mans will,
but He never compromised the
truth either.
For us to now walk in Gods
plan of Kingdom dominion
and authority, those of us
who call ourselves followers
of Christ and sons of God in
the earth must know, believe
and act upon what God has
said about us in His Word.
Forever O Lord, Your Word
is settled in Heaven. Gods
Word is settled in Heaven, but
we must settle it on earth. This
desire to walk in dominion is
in our hearts; it was put there
by God Himself when He cre-
ated us. God knew you before
the foundations of the world;
He knew you before you were
conceived in your mothers
womb. His DNA is in you.
When we walk like Jesus
and do the works He did, His
Kingdom is advanced and His
will is done on earth as it is in
heaven. This results in righ-
teousness, peace, joy, life and
blessing; Christianity is good
for the world.
Be blessed as another sea-
son shifts in color.
Founded in 2005, Unit-
ed Ostomy Associations of
America (UOAA) bills itself
as a national network for
bowel and urinary diversion
support groups.
In a telephone interview,
UOAA co-founder, 75-year-
old Ken Aukett, of Westmont,
New Jersey, had a lot to say
about his late wife, Linda, also
a UOAA co-founder. Both
Linda and Ken had ulcerative
colitis and an ostomy, which
is a surgically created opening
in the body made to discharge
body wastes. There are three
types of ostomies: colostomy,
urostomy, and ileostomy. Ken
has had his ostomy 42 years,
and Linda had hers 44 years
before passing away two years
ago.
Said Aukett of the orga-
nizations founding, Linda
and I recognized there had to
be a national organization in
order to continue promoting
the rights of people with os-
tomies. Washington would not
listen to individuals or manu-
facturers. Thats the void we
lled. Also, there were a num-
ber of ostomy support groups
throughout the country that
would have folded without a
national organization.
One example of Lindas
work in Washington, D.C.,
involved educating the TSA
and members of Congress re-
garding ostomy patients going
through airport security.
The direct result of her
(advocacy) was that people
with ostomies no longer have
to go into a back room and un-
dress and have their pouches
removed, said Aukett. Linda
explained what an ostomy in-
volved. Before that, TSA of-
cers were doing body pat
downs and (accidentally)
tearing the ostomies off some
people.
Aukett said his wife was a
true humanitarian, who was
dedicated to helping others, an
excellent communicator, and
an effective advocate in Wash-
ington. Linda and Ken Aukett,
former social worker and fa-
cilities engineer, respectively,
began volunteering for ostomy
groups in the 1970s. He and
his wife traveled around the
world to educate people about
ostomies.
Aukett said much of their
work over the years involved
letting people with ostomies
know they didnt have to be
reclusive, but could enjoy a
quality of life doing nearly ev-
erything they could before dis-
ease prompted their surgery.
He said one friend of his with
an ostomy had climbed the
tallest mountain on every con-
tinent, including Mt. Everest.
Aukett said, In terms of
encouragement, Id tell your
readers (with ostomies) that
theres nothing you cant do.
Youre not limited. The only
limiting factor for your quality
of life is your own perception
of what you have.
In his spare time, Aukett en-
joys swimming and snorkling.

To the Editor:
After attending the infor-
mational meeting at the Farm
Bureau Meeting room last
Saturday, October 4, I am
convinced that a new jail is
the best way to move forward
for Allamakee County. I had
not realized that our current
jail facility is so much out of
compliance and on the verge
of being closed if we dont
get a plan for a remodeled or
replaced jail soon.
The jail problem com-
mittee obviously has put a
lot of time and effort into
this matter. Hats off to all of
them. They got the work all
done in time to be included on
the November ballot, and I am
thoroughly convinced that we
should pass this measure so
we dont have to hold a spe-
cial election which may cost
as much as $10,000.
A new jail is a huge invest-
ment, but a badly needed one
that will serve as a safe us-
able/working building for the
residents of Allamakee Coun-
ty for the next 75 to 100 years.
Please get out and vote.

To the Editor:
I attended the rst one of
the Community Meals at First
Presbyterian Church, and
what a positive experience it
was. My rst thought upon
hearing of it was that it was
only for people who were un-
able to afford a meal, but no,
it is an event where anyone
can freely drop in.
I agree, along with the or-
ganizers of this event, that
this is what our community
needs.
What most excites me
about these meal gatherings
is how they will benet our
local churches by bringing
church goers together to work
for a common cause. We re-
ally need more unity among
our churches.
We have such an array of
great churches in our area; it
seems the time has come for
us to appreciate them.
We can sit in out churches
and we can criticize the con-
gregation down the street for
not having what we believe
is the right doctrine, or we
can come to the Community
Meal, meet someone from
another church and discover a
new friendship.
We Christians talk about
seeing the Holy Spirit move;
well, this is one way it can
happen.
Many thanks to the core
group of clergy and other
leaders who introduced the
idea of these meals. I think
that you people really got
something going and I cant
wait to see the good that
comes out of it.

Allamakee County Victim &
Witness Coordinator
October is nationally
known as Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. Locally,
you may see information re-
garding domestic violence
in the media, on posters, or
possibly an event or project
sponsored by the Domes-
tic Abuse Resource Center.
Domestic Violence affects a
great deal of people, not just
the victims of the crime.
Domestic violence is a pat-
tern of behavior that involves
abuse by one person against
another and can affect each
and every one of us in ways
we do not typically think of.
If you have never been a vic-
tim, it is likely that you may
work with someone, live next
to someone, or may have
someone you care deeply
about that may be experienc-
ing domestic violence. Many
victims of abuse suffer alone
because they are too afraid to
ask for help, feel ashamed or
even blame themselves.
According to the last Iowa
Attorney Generals Ofce
Crime Victim Assistance Di-
vision Report, 259 people
have been killed in domestic
violence murders since Janu-
ary 1, 1995.
Thirty-three years ago this
month, advocates and other
concerned citizens gathered
to recognize countless abuse
victims who were murdered
due to the crime of Domes-
tic Violence. They also rec-
ognized and honored those
who continue to survive the
abuse but remain silent. The
National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence deemed
October as the month to ap-
proach local, state, and na-
tional levels of government to
unite with them in their aspi-
ration to prevent more deaths,
injury and the harmful effects
of violence.
At state level, in Des
Moines there is a group of
dedicated individuals who
provide a comprehensive,
nonprot program that pro-
vides training, counseling,
and outreach to any indi-
vidual and all communities
in the state of Iowa. They
have provided these services
since 1985. This particular
organization, called the Iowa
Coalition against Domestic
Violence, also provides as-
sistance to its members with
education, program manage-
ment, training and technical
support.
Here in our area, a group
of local individuals gath-
ered together in 1994 to dis-
cuss their concerns and set
a goal to end violence with
the Northeast Iowa Coalition
against Domestic Violence.
Here at the Allamakee
County Attorneys Ofce,
we see numerous cases of
domestic violence and like
the Iowa Coalition programs,
we too share their concerns.
Sadly, in the past six months
there have been approximate-
ly 14 cases of domestic vio-
lence reported in this county
alone. Since July 1, 2014,
there have been 12 cases of
domestic violence reported
to the County Attorneys
Ofce. Please keep in mind
these are only the reported
cases, as many, if not most,
cases of domestic abuse go
unreported.
To some it is very difcult
to understand why someone
who is being abused or expe-
riencing violence would not
seek help to end the abuse;
however in many cases the
victim is not able to reach
out to anyone at all. Victims
of domestic violence experi-
ence numerous emotions that
prevent them from feeling
like they can end or escape
the violence. Below is just
a short list of reasons why a
victim may feel powerless to
make changes in their lives or
to leave an abusive relation-
ship.
Emotional Reasons for
Staying In an Abusive
Relationship
Belief that the abusive
partner will change because
of the partners remorse and
promises to never do it again.
Fear of the abuser who
threatens to kill the victim or
harm the victims children,
pets, or other loved ones if
the abuse is reported.
Insecure feelings about
living alone.
Lack of emotional sup-
port from others or no one
believing the victim.
Attachment to the partner
the victim loves and cares for.
Fear or intimidation of
making major changes or
leaving and starting all over.
Feeling they are respon-
sible for the abuse, shame or
self-blame.
Feeling helpless, hope-
less and trapped.
Belief that if the victim
loves and cares enough, the
partner will change, get help.
Situational Reasons to Stay
Victim is economically
dependent on the abuser.
Fear of physical harm to
self, children, pets, or loved
ones.
Fear of emotional damage
to the children living without
one parent.
Fear of losing custody of
the children because the abus-
er threatens to take the chil-
dren if victim tries to leave.
Lack of work skills or the
ability to be nancially inde-
pendent.
Social isolation and lack
of support because abuser is
often the victims only sup-
port system.
Lack of information re-
garding helpful resources.
Belief that law enforce-
ment will not take the report
seriously.
Lack of affordable hous-
ing.
Cultural or religious be-
liefs.
No matter what the rea-
son is, the fact remains that
many victims of domestic
abuse continue to live with
the abuse each and every day.
Those who are able to nd
the courage to contact law
enforcement and report the
abuse do have legal rights.
The Allamakee County Attor-
neys Ofce provides a pro-
gram to assist any victim of
serious crime. The Allamakee
Victim Witness Program was
established in 2009 and pro-
vides comprehensive services
to victims of serious crime
such as domestic abuse.
In Allamakee County all
cases of domestic violence
that are reported to the Coun-
ty Attorney are reviewed by
County Attorney Jill Kistler
along with her staff for pros-
ecution. All victims of crimes
classied as a serious misde-
meanor or above are referred
to the Victim Witness Coor-
dinator. The Victim Witness
Coordinator is available to of-
fer services, provide referrals,
and to answer general ques-
tions about the legal process.
In Iowa, any victim of a se-
rious crime (classied as a se-
rious misdemeanor or above)
has lawful rights and one of
those rights is to receive in-
formation on how the legal
system typically works.
The Allamakee County
Victim Witness Coordinator
program provides information
on victimization, legal rights
and protections, notications,
information on the criminal
justice process, compensation
programs for out of pocket
expenses due to the crime, as
well as emotional support and
advocacy.
All of us here at the Alla-
makee County Attorneys Of-
ce understand how difcult
it may be for victims of do-
mestic violence to reach out
for help. It is our hope that
the Victim Witness Program
offered by the County Attor-
neys Ofce will offer helpful
assistance to recover from the
impact of crime.

mer, Koenig and Strub present.
All members voting AYE unless
noted.
Meeting called to order by

Mellick, Arne Beneke, Chris
Sanscaint, Dave Mooney, Scott
Willger, Jill Kistler, Ann Burckart,

Public Comment: Baxter
asked Supervisors to consider
selling part of County Farm land
to help bring down cost of build-
ing Public Safety Center and to
hold off on renting land until this
is decided. Baxter supports the
Safety Center, but the cost is the
main concern. Schellhammer
said they would need something
showing denite support of this
idea before they would make a
decision to sell. Using rent pro-
ceeds to pay down bonds and
maintain possession of the land
was brought up by Dan Byrnes.
Schellhammer and Strub gave
update of Department of Correc-
tions meeting at Luster Heights.
Chris Sanscraint conrmed for
the Supervisors that Mayo decid-
ed to terminate their agreement
with Gundersen Health Plan.
Gundersen had no say in it. He
estimates a little less than 6% re-
duction in the remaining 6 month
premium which is based on the
make-up of the County group. He
explained the options the County
has and asked what the County
wants them to present for options
including POS plans.

Waukon volleyball team pulls off thrilling comeback triumph at Crestwood
The Waukon volleyball
team posted just a single win
out of ve total matches this
past week, but what a win it
was. In a battle of teams in
search of their rst North-
east Iowa Conference victory
of the season at Crestwood
Tuesday, October 7, the In-
dians fought back from the
brink of remaining winless
by claiming the nal three
of ve sets, 21-25, 19-25,
25-23, 25-18 and 15-7. Wau-
kons winning for the week
was stopped there, however,
as the Tribe netters fell in
all four of their matches at
the Hudson Tournament Sat-
urday, October 11 to teams
from Edgewood-Colesburg,
Center Point-Urbana, Hudson
and Iowa Valley.
Falling below the .500
mark for the rst time this
season with a 14-15 overall
match record, 1-4 in North-
east Iowa Conference (NEIC)
play, the Indians were sched-
uled to wrap up their regu-
lar season schedule at Class
4A sixth-rated Charles City
Tuesday, October 14 before
hosting the Northeast Iowa
Conference Tournament Sat-
urday, October 18, details of
which can be found in a shad-
ed box elsewhere on these
Sports pages. The Indians are
also scheduled to host their
rst-round Class 3A Region-
al Tournament match against
Crestwood Monday, October
27, beginning at 7 p.m., with
further details of that post-
season trail also printed in
a shaded box on this weeks
Sports pages.
at Crestwood ...
The volleyball Indians
traveled to the home of the
only other team in the North-
east Iowa Conference (NEIC)
still in search of its rst NEIC
win of the season when they
took on Crestwood Tues-
day, October 7. The Indians
looked to be on the verge of
remaining without an NEIC
win, as Crestwood swept the
rst two sets of the match,
but the Tribe battled back to
reverse that trend, pulling out
a narrow set-three victory en-
route to sweeping the nal
three sets to claim the win.
Before the start of the
third set the girls were very
determined to ght for that
win, Waukon volleyball
coach Peyton Lapel said.
They did not dwell on what
had happened in the previous
two sets and were red up to
give it their all this third set.
They came out very condent
and aggressive for the third
set, which brought them to
the top. They hustled to ev-
ery ball and were very scrap-
py. Even when some balls
seemed impossible to get,
somehow wed get a hand
on it to keep it alive. The
girls had the mindset to not
let the ball hit the oor and
they denitely worked hard
for this win. We were all very
proud of this well-deserved
victory.
The rst two sets played
out in Crestwoods favor by
scores of 21-25 and 19-25,
leaving the Indians just one
set away from being swept
into the NEIC basement still
without a conference win.
Set three looked to be just
as close between the two
squads, but this time the In-
dians found a way to pull
out the 25-23 victory and
avoid the match sweep. The
Tribe then rode that changed
wave of momentum, pulling
out another fairly close set
four, 25-18, before hammer-
ing away at Crestwood for a
15-7 triumph in the fth and
tie-breaking set to secure the
match victory.
Senior Allie Schwartz
led the Indian offense with
11 each of kills and assists,
with sophomore Regan Was-
son adding eight winners at
the net and the senior pair of
Katelyn Kolsrud and Jackie
Welch each swatting seven
kills. The junior pair of Leslie
Sivesind and Madison Snitker
added nine and eight assists,
respectively, with Welch ac-
counting for the Tribes lone
solo block in the match.
Senior Thea Meyer paced
the Indian defensive effort
with 24 digs, with fellow se-
niors Kolsrud, Sam Swartz
and Katie Kerndt also dig-
ging up double-digit save
totals of 16, 15 and 10 digs,
respectively. Kolsrud and
Swartz also headlined the In-
dians serving effort with four
and three aces, respectively,
on the way to each converting
all 17 of their serve attempts.
Kerndt also served up three
aces in a 16-for-20 serving ef-
fort, with Swartz adding two
more aces in making good on
20 of her 22 serve tries.
Hudson Tournament ...
The Waukon net squad
traveled to Hudson Saturday,
October 11 for a tournament,
returning home without a win
in four matches and with just
a single win in nine sets on
the day. The Indians fell to
teams from Iowa Valley, Hud-
son, Center Point-Urbana and
Edgewood-Colesburg.
The Indians only set vic-
tory came in their match
against Edgewood-Coles-
burg. The two teams split the
rst two sets of the match,
Edgewood-Colesburg win-
ning the rst, 15-21, but Wau-
kon taking set two, 21-16.
The two teams then slugged it
out in a third-set tie-breaker,
the Tribe coming out on the
short end of a 12-15 result.
Senior Allie Schwartz and
sophomore Regan Wasson
each knocked down seven
kills to lead the Indian of-
fense, with seniors Katelyn
Kolsrud and Jackie Welch
each swatting six winners at
the net. Schwartz also posted
11 assists, with juniors Leslie
Sivesind and Madison Snit-
ker assisting on ve and four
kills, respectively, and Was-
son denying the Indians only
solo block of the match.
Senior Thea Meyer led
the Indian defense with 10
digs and also converted all
10 of her serve attempts in
the match, with fellow se-
nior Katie Kerndt digging up
eight saves and serving up a
team-high two aces on a nine-
for-10 serving effort. Senior
Sam Swartz posted six digs
and served up the Tribes only
other ace in making good on
all ve of her serve tries, with
Schwartz and Wasson also
each awless from the ser-
vice line in nine and two at-
tempts, respectively.
Limited offense for the In-
dians saw them fall to Center
Point-Urbana by scores of
14-21 and 13-21. Schwartz
posted half of just six kills
for the Indians in the match,
with Welch chipping in two
and Wasson adding the other.
Sivesind assisted on half of
those kills, with Snitker help-
ing out on two kills as well.
The senior trio of
Schwartz, Kolsrud and Mey-
er dug up the back row with
seven, six and ve saves, re-
spectively. The Indians went
without an ace serve in the
match and converted just 22
of 26 serves, Meyer, Swartz
and Wasson each ending up
perfect at the service line in
ve, four and three tries, re-
spectively.
The Tribe netters were
also limited to just six kills
in a sweeping loss to the host
school, Hudson, by scores of
13-21 and 6-21. Kolsrud was
the only Indian with multi-
ple kills, two, with Schwartz
posting a team-high three as-
sists. Kerndt and Meyer each
dug up ve saves to pace the
defense, with Kolsrud posting
three digs. Swartz was perfect
in three service tries for the
Indians only ace serve, with
Meyer, Schwartz and Kolsrud
also not missing a serve in
ve, three and two attempts,
respectively.
Class 1A top-15 rated
Iowa Valley also complet-
ed a sweep of the Indians at
the Hudson Tournament by
identical scores of 12-21 and
12-21. Schwartz and Was-
son each pounded out three
kills to lead the Indian of-
fense, with Welch adding two
winners. Sivesind assisted
on three of those kills, with
Schwartz and Snitker each
posting a pair of assists.
Meyer served up the teams
only ace in converting all four
of her serve attempts, with
Schwartz, Kolsrud, Swartz
and Wasson also awless
from the service line in six,
ve, ve and two attempts,
respectively. Kolsrud and
Meyer also helped pace the
Indian defense with 10 and
eight digs, respectively.

In the line of duty ...
Kee football coach Chad Winters gave an abundance of credit to his offensive and defensive lines in the Hawks
52-18 home victory over Springville Friday, October 10. Pictured above, seniors Craig Sand (at left) and Andrew
Weber (#77) help create an initial hole for sophomore tailback Clay Olson (far right), with sophomore fullback Casey
Carroll (#46 in center) looking to assist with the block as well. In photo at right, seniors Nick Howe (left) and David
Richards (right) tussle with their Springville line opponents. The efforts of the Kee linemen on both sides of the foot-
ball helped the Hawks outgain Springville by a 473-227 nal result in total yardage. Photos courtesy of Kee High
School Yearbook. View and nd out how to purchase these photos and many more by clicking on the Photo Galleries
link on The Standards website, www.waukonstandard.com.
The Kee volleyball team
opened this past busy week
of competition with a three-
set sweep at West Central, but
had its fortunes reversed in
going winless the remainder
of the week in ve matches.
The Hawks swept their West
Central hosts by scores of 25-
16, 25-18 and 25-22 Tuesday,
October 7, but won just a sin-
gle set in being tripped up at
Edgewood-Colesburg Thurs-
day, October 9 by scores of
23-25, 25-20, 22-25 and 9-25.
The Kee netters were then
swept in four straight match-
es at the Hudson Tournament
Saturday, October 11, falling
to the host school, as well as
to Center Point-Urbana, AG-
WSR and Edgewood-Coles-
burg once again.
Falling to a 9-13 overall
record, 4-4 in Upper Iowa
Conference (UIC) play, the
Hawks were scheduled to
wrap up their dual match reg-
ular season hosting Starmont
Tuesday, October 14 before
playing in their UIC Tourna-
ment at Starmont Saturday,
October 18. Kee will then
open postseason tournament
play with its Class 1A Re-
gional Tournament beginning
Tuesday, October 21 at home
against Central Elkader. De-
tails of Kees postseason tour-
nament trail appear in a shad-
ed box elsewhere on these
Sports pages.
at West Central ...
The volleyball Hawks
made relatively short work
of their West Central hosts
in a road dual in Upper Iowa
Conference play Tuesday,
October 7. Kee kept the Blue
Devils a comfortable distance
away in sweeping the host
school by scores of 25-16,
25-18 and 25-22.
The Hawks more than
doubled up the Blue Devils
in total kills for the match,
27-12, each team committing
12 hitting errors to contribute
evenly to each others scoring
at the net. Even though West
Central tallied one more ace
serve than the Hawks, 7-8,
they also gave away twice
as many points on missed
serves, as Kee converted at
just under a 95% efciency
from the service line in the
match.
In the absence of the usu-
ally strong contributions from
Kee volleyball team wins at West Central,
falls at Ed-Co and at Hudson Tournament
the junior tandem of middle
hitter Mikayla Gavin and set-
ter Lilly Winters, the fresh-
man pair of Chloe Severson
and Ashley Schwartzhoff
stepped in at the net to con-
tribute a team-high eight and
four kills, respectively, while
sophomore Courtney Cooper
posted 10 assists and served
up a pair of aces in convert-
ing all nine of her service
tries. These three especially
stepped up and got the job
done that we needed them do
to, Kee volleyball coach Rich
Ellis said of the contributions
made by Severson, Schwartz-
hoff and Courtney Cooper
stepping up in their substitute
roles. Nothing really phases
these younger girls we have
on the team. They just step in
when needed and dont really
miss a beat.
Senior Val Meyer swat-
ted seven kills and served
up a team-high three aces in
making good on all 16 of her
serves, with freshman Kendra
Cooper also knocking down
ve winners and serving up
two aces in an 11-for-12 serv-
ing effort. Junior Ellie Coo-
per posted a team-high 11
assists, and junior Erin Rud
dug up 16 saves for defensive
honors, with Kendra Cooper
adding 15 digs while also
posting a team-high two solo
blocks to further Kees defen-
sive effort in the match.
All in all, it was a very
good team win, Coach El-
lis said. Everyone made the
adjustments that we needed
to come home with the win.
I was very pleased with how
we came together as a team.
at Edgewood-Colesburg ...
The Kee net squad made a
second consecutive lengthy
road trip Thursday, October
9 for another Upper Iowa
Conference battle, traveling
to Edgewood-Colesburg. The
Hawks battled the host Vi-
kings fairly closely through-
out the rst three sets of the
match, falling in set one by
just a 23-25 count, rebound-
ing with a 25-20 victory in
the second set, and then com-
ing up just shy, 22-25, in set
three. The tide turned abrupt-
ly on the Hawks in the fourth
set, however, as the host Vi-
kings dealt them a 9-25 de-
feat to complete the match
victory.
We played great volley-
ball the rst three sets, Kee
volleyball coach Rich Ellis
said. These sets could have
gone either way. The fourth
set was a mental breakdown
on our part. We let ourselves
down and beat ourselves.
There were no statistics
available for this match by
press deadline.

Hudson Tournament ...
The volleyball Hawks lat-
ter week fortune continued to
follow them to the Hudson
Tournament Saturday, Octo-
ber 11. The Hawks were dealt
four straight match losses at
the tournament, each of those
coming in two straight sets,
to end one of their busiest and
most traveled weeks of their
entire season schedule.
We were still missing
(junior setter) Lilly (Win-
ters) Saturday, Kee volley-
ball coach Rich Ellis said.
Combine that with 11 hours
spent on a bus this past week
and it was a recipe for di-
saster. However, there were
some pretty solid teams down
there. I like that type of com-
petition this time of the year
to help get us prepared for the
postseason.
The Hawks were handed
identical losses in a sweep by
the tournament host, Hudson,
falling by tallies of 10-21 and
10-21, with a rematch against
Edgewood-Colesburg from
just two days earlier also go-
ing the Vikings way this time
around, 11-21 and 9-21. Class
3A Center Point-Urbana
dealt the Hawks their tough-
est loss with scores of 13-21
and 5-21, with AGWSR also
sweeping Kee by scores of
15-21 and 8-21. No statistics
for any of the Hawks match-
es at the Hudson Tournament
were available for print by
press deadline.
It really doesnt mat-
ter a whole lot if we win or
lose right now, we just need
to get back to our peak per-
formance, Coach Ellis said
of his teams results at the
Hudson Tournament. If we
can do that, the wins will take
care of themselves. The most
important part of these last
couple of conference dates is
to get to our best so we can
make a run in the postsea-
son.
Kee football team strikes early and often in 52-18 home win over Springville
The Kee football team
rebounded from its second
District 4 loss of the season
suffered a week earlier by es-
tablishing itself early and of-
ten on the way to a 52-18 rout
of Springville at home Friday,
October 10. The Hawks made
a statement with a touchdown
on their rst offensive play
of the ballgame and nev-
er looked back on the way
to pounding out nearly 400
rushing yards to fuel a 473-
227 advantage in total yards.
With the exception of
a three-minute span early
in the fourth quarter where
they were able to hit us for
a quick touchdown, an on-
side kick and another quick
touchdown, we played pret-
ty well, Kee football coach
Chad Winters said. We did
a good job of containing their
quarterback, with the excep-
tion of a few plays. We knew
if we did a good job on him,
we would have a great night.
Marquise was able to get us
down completion, the failed
two-point conversion leaving
Kees lead at 30-6.
Senior Andrew Weber led
Kees defensive charge on
Springvilles next possession,
posting back-to-back quarter-
back sacks on third and fourth
downs to end the Oriole se-
ries. Even though the Hawks
could not capitalize on that
defensive stand, they held
the Orioles to another three-
and-out series on their next
possession as well, following
that halting with a nal sev-
en-play scoring drive capped
off by a one-yard plunge by
Peterson, the two-point con-
version pass missing its mark
to leave Kee at a 36-6 half-
time advantage.
The second half opened
with the two teams trading
unproductive possessions,
with Phillips picking off a
pass on Springvilles next
possession to also help kick
Kees offense into gear. Phil-
lips added a 20-yard run to
fuel the ensuing Hawk pos-
session, with Olson taking an
option pitch from Peterson
14 yards to paydirt and a 44-6
Kee advantage after that pair
also connected on the two-
point conversion pass.
Peterson made his own
defensive statement by snag-
ging an interception of his
own to snuff out Springvilles
next possession. Kee could
not take advantage of that
gifted opportunity, and then
suffered that three-min-
ute letdown Coach Winters
spoke of earlier when Mc-
Dowell and his Oriole team-
mates struck for back-to-back
touchdowns, one on each side
of recovering an onside kick
as the fourth quarter got un-
derway, cutting the Hawk
lead to 44-18.
Kee mounted one nal
scoring drive in response,
capping off an eight-play
drive with another one-yard
touchdown burst by Peterson,
who then found junior Ethan
Walleser for the two-point
conversion pass and a 52-18
Kee scoreboard margin. Ol-
son made sure Springville
would not add anything fur-
ther to its side of the score-
board, as he picked off one
nal Oriole pass that allowed
Kee to run out the clock and
secure the 52-18 Hawk vic-
tory.
Kees nearly 400 yards on
the ground was fueled by a
pair of 100-plus yard rushing
efforts, Olson racking up 153
yards and two touchdowns on
23 carries and Phillips adding
135 yards and a touchdown on
10 carries. Peterson added 86
yards and three touchdowns
on 13 rushing attempts. Pe-
terson also completed ve of
11 pass attempts for 82 yards,
most of those coming on one
touchdown completion of 61
yards to Carroll.
I thought our line play
was great, allowing our backs
to put up almost 400 yards
rushing, Coach Winters said.
I thought Clay and Marquise
were very patient and were
able to hit the holes when
they showed.
Weber headlined Kees
defensive effort with a team-
high 10 solo tackles that
included three quarterback
sacks, with fellow senior
Ryan Kuhn adding two sacks
of his own and another tackle
for loss in his four solo defen-
sive halts. Senior Nick Howe
furthered Kees sack attack
with his own quarterback
crush in four total solo stops,
with Peterson also racking up
ve solo tackles. Peterson,
Phillips and Olson each had
an interception and Carroll
recovered a fumble to put fur-
ther wraps on Springvilles
offensive possessions.
Defensively, we got a
great game from Andrew We-
ber, he was able to get great
pressure on the quarterback
and ended the night with
three sacks, Coach Winters
said.
Improving to a 5-2 overall
record on the season, 3-2 in
district play, the Hawks will
hit the road for one of the
greatest challenges on their
schedule when they face un-
defeated and top-ve rated
Central Elkader this Friday,
October 17. The Warriors
have not scored fewer than 62
points in any of their games
this season, posting a pair of
94-point outings on the way
to outscoring their opponents
by a 520-114 margin that in-
cludes a 68-0 romp at Central
City this past Friday, October
10.
Kee volleyball to open postseason
at home October 21 against Central
The Kee volleyball team will begin postseason tournament action at home when Class 1A
Regional Tournament play starts Tuesday, October 21. The Hawks will host Central Elkader
that evening in a 7 p.m. rst-round match-up, the winner advancing on to regional quarter-
nal play the following Tuesday, October 28 at Turkey Valley High School in Jackson Junc-
tion, again beginning at 7 p.m.
That regional quarternal opponent will come from the rst-round match-up between
West Central and Turkey Valley. The quarternal winner will then advance on to the semi-
nals Friday, October 31 at 7 p.m. at Dunkerton, with possible seminal opponents emerging
from rst-round match-ups between Dunkerton and Waterloo Christian or Nashua-Plaineld
and Riceville.
The team winning in the regional seminals will then move on to the regional nals match
Wednesday, November 5 at New Hampton, beginning at 7 p.m., for the right to advance to
the Class 1A State Tournament to be held November 11-14. The regional nals opponent
from the other side of the regional bracket could be North Iowa, Rockford, CAL, North-
wood-Kensett, Tripoli, Clarksville or Mason City Newman.

True or False: If a receiver makes a fair catch and is then tackled by
a defender, it is a dead ball foul?
True, this is a 15-yard personal foul.
True or False: If any kicking team member recovers a kick-off, the ball
becomes dead?
True, the kicking team cannot advance a free kick recovery or a muffed punt.
In a recent game, the kick-off was being returned, the player fumbled, the
kicking team recovered and advanced for the score. This is allowed as it was a
fumble after the kick ended. A kick ends when it is recovered.
True or False: It is legal to spike the ball to conserve time from a shotgun
formation?
False, to legally do this the quarterback has to take a hand-to-hand snap. The
penalty is intentional grounding, a ve-yard penalty from the spot of the foul
and loss of down.
True or False: During a punt, a defender contacts the punt returner as the
ball is being caught as a result of being blocked by a receiving team member.
There is no foul.
True, it happens at times and the receiving team faithful always let us know
their displeasure. Coincidentally, this happens once in a great while to punters
as gunners coming around the outside get blocked by the punt protector into
the punter. Again, no penalty and the crowd will go wild.

off to a great start with the
rst play from scrimmage go-
ing for a 65-yard touchdown
run. That helped lead us to a
big rst quarter.
That 65-yard touchdown
run by senior Marquise Phil-
lips on the opening drive
proved to set the tone for the
remainder of the contest, with
sophomore Clay Olson add-
ing a two-point conversion
run for an early 8-0 Kee ad-
vantage. Kees defense rode
that early wave of momen-
tum, forcing Springville to
a three-and-out initial pos-
session, with Olson capping
off the Hawks next drive
as well with nal runs of 12
and then 20 yards to paydirt,
also adding another two-point
conversion run for a 16-0 Kee
headstart.
Coach Winters concerns
about Springville quarterback
Tyler McDowell were given
foundation when he broke
free for a 48-yard touchdown
scamper on a fourth down
play on the next Oriole pos-
session. The extra point kick
was missed, leaving Kees
lead at 16-6 with time for one
more home team possession
before the rst quarter ended.
The Hawks made the most
of that nal rst quarter pos-
session, piecing together a
13-play scoring drive culmi-
nated by a two-yard quarter-
back sneak into the end zone
by senior Dylon Peterson,
who also added the two-point
conversion run to boost Kees
lead to 24-6 by the end of the
opening frame.
Kees defense reigned su-
preme to keep Springville
silent through the entire sec-
ond quarter, Olson forcing a
fumble on Springvilles rst
play of its next possession
that was recovered by fellow
sophomore Casey Carroll.
That recovery was rewarded
three plays later when Car-
roll hauled in a Peterson pass
to convert a third down situ-
ation into a 61-yard touch-

Waukon girls cross country team
competes at South Winneshiek
The Waukon girls cross
country team competed as a
team in one high school race
at the South Winneshiek In-
vitational Tuesday, October
7, nishing seventh in the
seven-team eld. The Indians
had nine high school runners
competing in the race, but
were without the services of

Katelynn Grifth, in totaling
168 team points.

From the high school to
the junior high level, I was
pleased with the effort and
attitude of the girls, Wau-
kon girls cross country coach
Brett Egan said. We ran
without Katelynn Grifth,
who has been running num-
ber ve for us consistently, so
her absence had an impact on
our team nish. Our top four
girls ran times that were con-
sistent for previous meets.
Junior Leah Riese paced
the Indian effort at the meet,
nishing 40th overall in the
eld of 110 runners, 27th for
Dani Stock nishing 94th in
21:22.00. Sophomore Liza-
beth Waters rounded out the
Indian effort at South Win-
neshiek with her 99th-place
nish in 21:55.40.
Lizzie Waters ran two
minutes faster than her time
on Saturday, just three days
before, Coach Egan said.
She is someone who has
needed more condence in
herself. Some success will
denitely help her moving
forward.
The Indians were sched-
uled to compete in the North-

It will be interesting to see
where we stack up in the next
two meets.

Hammel had an outstanding

was fun to watch her race so
well, especially since she is a
senior. Her effort and perse-

off and I think she can im-

Waukon football team battles top-10 rated New Hampton to 26-12 home defeat
The Waukon football team
played host to the second of
two fellow Class 2A District
3 opponents ranked within
this seasons top 10 in that
class, when eighth-rated
New Hampton came to town
Friday, October 10. Having
learned and grown through
some tough adversity since
hosting District 3s other
top-10 rated team, a 40-14
Homecoming loss to North
Fayette Valley, the Indians
put up a strong ght against
the yet district-undefeated
Chickasaws, remaining with-
in a one-touchdown margin
at the end of each of the
games rst three quarters
before nally surrendering a
26-12 defeat.
Our kids played hard
against a physical team,
Waukon football coach Chad
Beermann said. We have
seen them continue to get
better, and we get closer each
week to the team we want
to be. We ran the ball well
against a good defense, and
made some plays on both
offense and defense, just not
enough.
The Indians nearly
matched the highly-regarded
Chickasaws blow-for-blow
throughout the contest, with
the exception of New Hamp-
ton returning the opening
kick-off of the second half
for a touchdown. Much like
with North Fayette Valley,
it was tough to swallow,
Coach Beermann said of
that kick-off return. We had
made some adjustments com-
ing out of the half, and were
looking forward to getting a
stop and getting our offense
back on the eld. We will
have to take a serious look at
the kick-off team for our last
two games as we cannot dig a
hole against good teams.
The early exchange of
blows saw each team force
each other into a three-and-
out punt on their respective
initial possessions. New
Hampton forced the Tribe
to punt a second time before
piecing together the games
rst scoring drive that was
capped off by a two-yard
touchdown run, the denied
the Indians in a 6-0 hole with
just over three minutes left in
the rst quarter.
The Indians had an answer
for that initial Chickasaw
outburst, mixing a steady
dose of juniors Colin Steiber
and Austin Hogan on the
ground with some surprises
through the air on a double
pass that started with a later-
al from junior Peyton Hesse
to senior Landon Sivesind,
who then red the ball down
the eld to senior Travis Her-
man for a 26-yard gain into
New Hampton territory. The
Indians wrapped up the rst
quarter with that drive, and
then capped it off with a 14-
yard touchdown pass from
Hesse to fellow junior Wyatt
Wille on the rst play of the
second quarter, the denied
a 6-6 knot on the scoreboard
just ve seconds into quarter
number two.
New Hampton dug in its
heels to chew up more than
half of the second frames
remainder, grinding out a
drive that was helped along
by some Indian penalties and
eventually capped off by a
four-yard touchdown pass.
The point-after kick missed
its mark, but New Hampton
once again held the slim lead,
12-6, with 5:56 left before
halftime. Despite a strong
kick-off return by Herman
to near mideld, the Indians
could not muster an imme-
diate answer, neither team
being able to add to its score-
board total in leaving the
12-6 Chickasaw lead intact at
the halftime break.
New Hampton came out
of the halftime locker room
to strike immediately, taking
that previously-mentioned
opening kick-off 85 yards for
a touchdown and a 20-6 In-
dian decit after a successful
two-point conversion. Once
again, the Indians did not
have an immediate answer,
but didnt roll over for the
Chickasaws either, turning
away any further New Hamp-
ton scoreboard additions be-
fore nally formulating a re-
ply in the closing seconds of
the third quarter.
Wille hauled in another
long Hesse offering to set up
the Indians near the goal line
to fuel that Indian response,
with Hogan nishing it off
with a one-yard plunge that
cut the Indian decit to 20-12
after the two-point conver-
sion was denied.
It did not take much to
get the kids to keep playing
though, as we have seen so
much adversity this season
the kids are developing thick
skins, Coach Beermann
said of his team not throw-
ing in the towel after New
Hamptons third-quarter mo-
mentum stealer. We have
stressed moving on after a
bad play, and learning from
it.
Having staved off New
Hampton taking complete
control of the ballgame, the
Indians looked to be in po-
sition to make one nal bid
to pull even with the Chick-
asaws, forcing them into a

fourth down and four situa-
tion with just over seven min-
utes left to play in the game.
However, a hard count drew
the Indians offsides, giving
New Hampton a rst down
that would keep that drive
alive long enough to nish
it off with a nal eight-yard
touchdown run that pretty
much put the game out of
reach, 26-12, with 3:45 left
to play. One nal Indian drive
was denied short of any fur-
ther scoreboard threat, leav-
ing the Indians on the short
end of that 26-12 nal result.
Nearly as close as the
games nal score were the
nal statistics posted by
each squad, as the Indians
were outgained by just a bit
overall, 235-207, holding the
upperhand through the air,
111-84, but allowing New
Hampton 151 yards com-
pared to just 96 tallied by the
Tribe. Hogan led the Indian
ground game with 70 yards
and one touchdown on 17
carries, with Steiber adding
17 yards on seven rushes.
Hesse completed nine of 23
passes for 111 yards and one
touchdown, Wille being his
favorite target with 80 yards
and that touchdown on ve
receptions, with Herman also
hauling in three catches for
45 yards, one of those recep-
tions coming from that dou-
ble pass from Sivesind for 26
yards.
Herman led the Indian de-
fense with four solo tackles
that included one individu-
al halt for a loss of yardage.
Steiber, junior Chris Miller
and senior Adam Benzing
each added two solo stops,
with Miller also wrapping up
one of those tackles for a loss
of yardage and Steiber assist-
ing on a team-high 15 tackles
in the ballgame. Miller and
sophomore Tanner Mathis
each assisted on eight defen-
sive halts, with Benzing, se-
nior Jamie Byrnes and junior
Haden Hammel also assist-
ing on six tackles to further
the Tribes defensive cause.
Falling to a 2-5 overall
record and a 1-3 mark in
District 3 play, the Indians
will hit the road this Friday,
October 17 for a game piv-
otal in Class 2A State Play-
Off qualication at Center
Point-Urbana, a team holding
a 5-2 overall record, 3-1 in
district play, and coming off
a 38-20 win at Oelwein this
past Friday, October 10. A
loss Friday will eliminate the
Indians from play-off quali-
cation, while a win over the
host Stormin Pointers this
Friday and then another win
for the Indians the following
Friday coupled with a Center
Point-Urbana loss to Dyers-
ville Beckman would give
the Indians the fourth and -
nal District 3 qualifying spot.
We have already laid out
to the kids we are basically
in a play-off mode, Coach
Beermann said of his teams
preparation this week. A
loss in either of these games
will guarantee we will have
no tenth game this year. And,
we come into the last two
games as healthy as we can
be. Our kids who did not re-
quire surgery are now back.
CPU is yet another physical
ball club. They have tried to
work on their passing game
the past few weeks, but their
bread is buttered by the run.

Waukon JV football team
wins at Columbus, 12-8
The Waukon junior varsity
football team secured a 12-8
victory at Waterloo Colum-
bus Friday, October 3. The
Indians scored on a 57-yard
pass play from Abe Schwartz
to Mitchell Snitker and then
on an eight-yard run by Evan
Armstead.
Armstead and Lukas Lar-
son also each had a fumble
recovery in the ballgame to
help the Indian defensive ef-
fort. We had excellent de-
fensive penetration in this
ballgame, the Waukon junior
varsity coaching staff com-
mented. The defense made
a number of great stops on
fourth down.
Wendy Norton emerges from three-
way tie to claim Week 7 prize in The
Standards Halfback Harry contest
Week 7 of The Standards
Halfback Harry contest pro-
vided for more tie-breaking
at each level of the contest. A
total of three entries tied for
top honors this week in the
regular contest with just two
missed games. Wendy Nor-
ton of Waukon, and Tim Val-
ley and Paul Valley, both of
Rochester, MN, were locked
in that three-way knot for
Halfback Harry supremacy.
The total winning points
tie-breaker was brought into
play to determine an outright
winner amongst that trio,
with this weeks 17 winning
teams racking up a total of
561 points. In a relatively
close battle on each side of
that actual point total, Nor-
tons guess of 569 points on
the high side proved to edge
out Tim Valleys selection of
550 points on the low side,
giving Norton this weeks
victory. Paul Valley was a bit
further off that actual total
with his choice of 542 points.
Game of the Week also
went into tie-break mode, as
nearly every single entry this
week picked Kee to defeat
Springville and also picked
the Hawks to pile up some
points in doing so. Kee did
defeat Springville by a count
of 52-18, and there were ac-
tually a pair of entries this
week that hit Kees winning
total right on the button. Ron
Brandt of Waukon and Wayne
Kreitzer of Cresco made up
that lucky pair, forcing yet
another tie-breaking measure.
With the Game of the
Week contest using the total
combined offensive yards be-
tween the two teams playing
in that particular game, and
Kee and Springville combin-
ing for a whopping 700 yards
even in total offense, Brandt
came out on top with his se-
lection of 567 total yards,
with Kreitzers choice of 487
yards being a bit further off
that pace.
Brandt now becomes the
seventh entry out of nine
possible chances to get into
the Game of the Week grand
prize drawing at the end of
this Halfback Harry season
for two tickets to a UNI Pan-
thers home football game
later this season. The Stan-
dard would like to express
its appreciation to this years
contest sponsors for making
another Halfback Harry sea-
son possible, and encourages
entrants and other readers to
patronize their business es-
tablishments as an expression
of appreciation for their con-
test sponsorship.

New McKenzie Method helpful with low back pain
October is National Physical Therapy Month
New treatment for low back pain ...
Pictured is Veterans Memorial Hospital Physical Ther-
apist Dana Wells with patient Lori Sylling of Postville
(seated). The hospitals physical therapists are now of-
fering a new type of treatment for low back pain called the
McKenzie Method. The McKenzie Method has proven
effective in treating several back pain sources and types
including back pain with radiating symptoms. This meth-
od takes into account several attributing factors including
posture and lifestyle and uses repeated movement in a
specied direction to decrease symptoms and promote
normal range of motion, resulting in an improved quality
of life for those with low back pain. Submitted photo.
by Dana Wells, D.P.T.,
Rehabilitation Department

Low back pain is a preva-
lent condition within the pop-
ulation. It is thought to be ex-
perienced by 50-80% of the
population at some point in
time during a persons life. It
is also to be understood that
back pain is normal. Howev-
er, just because it is normal,
does not mean that it needs to
be left untreated. Back pain
is a condition that may easily
be addressed by your primary
care physician and can per-
haps be treated with physical
therapy.
Whether your back pain
is acute or chronic, dull or
sharp, brought on by a specif-
ic event or came on gradually
without a specied cause, it
needs to be addressed. There
are several treatments for
low back pain, but physi-
cal therapy offers something
many other treatments do
not - self mediated treat-
ment. Self treatment enables
patients to take an active
role in their treatment and
decreases reliance on other
modalities. Physical therapy
uses the principles of exer-
cise and wellness to provide
the tools for healing and de-
crease pain. There are several
methods in which physical
therapy can achieve this. One
such method is the McKenzie
Method.
The McKenzie method is
a method which has proven
effective in treating several
back pain sources and types
including back pain with
radiating symptoms. This
method takes into account
several attributing factors in-
cluding posture and lifestyle
and uses repeated movement
in a specied direction to
decrease symptoms and pro-
mote normal range of motion.
This method is being imple-
mented at Veterans Memo-
rial Hospital with several
patients reporting decreased
pain, increased mobility and
above all, an improved qual-
ity of life.
When Lori Sylling of
Postville presented to the
clinic she was experiencing
severe low back and left leg
pain following an episode of
heavy lifting. By coming to
physical therapy, we were
able to conduct a McKenzie
mechanical assessment and
determine the cause of her
pain. With this information,
a simple home program was
developed including pos-
tural correction and repeated
movement. Within three vis-
its her symptoms had sig-
nicantly decreased and she
was able to be discharged
from therapy. But what she
took away was invaluable -
the tools to continue to man-
age her low back pain on her
own.
It gave me the condence
to know that I can correct
it myself, Sylling stated.
Now I know how to deal
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
with it. This therapy has def-
initely been worth it.
Whether youve experi-
enced low back pain for three
days or 30 years, there is a
treatment for your low back
pain. Furthermore, there is
something you can do about
it. In the ght against low
back, pain physical therapy is
an important tool in address-
ing your pain now and pre-
venting recurrence. With the
use of methods such as the
McKenzie Method a physi-
cal therapist can help you to
regain your lifestyle and stop
living with low back pain.

Digital mammography at Veterans Memorial Hospital ...
Pictured is the digital mammography system at Veterans Memorial Hospital. Digital
mammography produces images that appear on the technologists monitor in a matter
of seconds. The radiologist reviews the electronic images using special high-resolution
monitors that can manipulate the images for more clarity to detect cancer even earlier.
Digital mammography images can be easily stored in the computer for comparison
with later mammograms, and can be easily transmitted if needed. The Radiology De-
partment at Veterans Memorial Hospital recently extended its hours into the evening
to allow for more mammogram appointments scheduled after work. Submitted photo.

If clothes make the man, then its also true that clothes can unmake the man (or woman), and can certainly lead to their nancial ruin. Clothing can be expensive, but a simple wardrobe doesnt have to put
you in the poorhouse, and your wardrobe can be designed to make the decision of what to wear incredibly simple. If all you own are a few pairs of pants and some gray and black T-shirts, there isnt much
to decide: gray or black? People who are trying to live full lives and help solve serious problems usually have simple wardrobes which make getting dressed the easiest part of their day. Uniforms, whether
of the standard military variety, or the unwritten dress code uniform which most professions have, are usually both functional and designed to free the person for more important tasks than getting
dressed. Shopping at secondhand stores or wearing hand-me-downs allows us to have decent clothes without going into debt and to simplify our life in the process. Washing our clothes can be simplied
too. A teaspoon or two of dishwashing liquid makes a perfectly good clothes detergent. God has more important things for us to do than to fuss and worry about our clothes. Christopher Simon
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Matthew 6:25

Spanish Club News
A meeting was held re-
cently with Spanish Club
students and their parents
to discuss various concerns
about the trip planned to
Nicaragua for Summer
2015.
One topic was fund-
raising. The students who
are planning to participate
in the trip each have an ac-
count and receive credit for
their part in fund-raising
activities. For example,
on October 10, the stu-
dents began selling Butter
Braids
for $12. Each item

sold by a student adds $5
to that students account.
Other fund-raising op-
portunities were discussed.
Last year the group par-
ticipated in the Fall Ladies
Night Out, so that idea was
discussed as a possibility.
Other options discussed
included the annual Taco
Supper and Bingo nights.
These last two options
have been diffcult in the
past few years as inclem-
ent weather has resulted in
several postponements.
Another topic of discus-
sion centered around the
required immunizations
the students must have
prior to traveling out of
the country. Students were
encouraged to address this
issue as soon as possible.
Finally, the students and
their parents were provided
with a list of items that will
be necessary for travelling,
as well as a list of items
that are recommended for a
more pleasant experience.
Everything from passports
to comfortable shoes was
discussed.
More information about
the trip will be made avail-
able to students and parents
as the trip draws nearer.

Since the season began,
the junior high football boys
have been working very hard
to succeed. There is a total of
16 boys involved in the sev-

The teams are coached
by Mr. Ross Kolsrud, and
Mr. Keith Schwartzhoff. The
boys started the season off
with two wins and two losses
and will be wrapping up their
season this week.
Every day they are work-
ing hard in practice to get
ready for the next game.
Coach Schwartzoff said, I
have seen many improve-

together as a team. He said

At the beginning of the
banner ad sales, each custom-
ers received a letter in the
mail with information about
what the Banner Ad Program
entailed. The next week, they
received a phone call to see if
they would like to participate
in the program.
Businesses were offered
different levels to participate
in: the white package for
$100, the grey package for
$125, the purple package for
$150, and the premium pack-
age for $200.
On Monday, September
29, all of the students visited
the businesses. They traveled
to Waukon, New Albin, and
Lansing. All the businesses
received a sign to hang in
their window as proud sup-
porters of the Kee High Year-
book.
The goal this year was to
raise $7,000 and the ADP stu-
dents have cur-
rently raised just
over $6,000.
The money
goes towards
the yearbooks,
so they are not
as expensive for
students to buy.
Each year the
yearbook cost
approximately
$100 but the
ADP students
are able to sell them to stu-
dents for $35 due to the Ban-
ner Ad Sponsors.
We truly appreciate the
generous support of the area
businesses. Yearbooks are
a tangible memory for our
students and the Banner Ad
Sponsors allow us to offer
them at an affordable price,

On Tuesday, September
30, six FFA members, Jed
McClimans, Nick Boland,
Aaron Bilicki, Jasmyn Tro-
endle, and Nicki Wood, went
to the Dairy Expo in Madi-
son, WI, at the Alliant Energy
Center. There were two dif-
ferent groups that day; one
that judged dairy products/
dairy cattle, and the other
was able to view the expo and
new technologies and watch
the dairy cattle shows.
All FFA members who
were a part of this trip really
enjoyed it, and learned about
all of the new technologies
and farm equipment, and
were able to see some of the
most high quality dairy cattle.

The sixth grade students
had the opportunity to learn
about the Mississippi River
and what it has to offer on a
recent feld trip day.
On September 11, Mrs.
Lisa Welsh and four volun-
teers, including parents and
grandparents, took students
on a river day exploration.
Students really enjoyed
the day and were able to learn
a lot about the river, said
Mrs. Welsh. Throughout the
day, students went to differ-
ent stations, spending an hour
at each. Each station provided
students with different infor-
mation about the river and
what is associated with it.
There were a lot of people
from Friends of Pool 9 who
were available to help with
the River Day. Some of the
volunteers included: Kevin
Quillin, John Verdon, Ross
Gerdes, and John Strevers.
The students were able
to participate in a vari-
ety of activites. One activ-
ity involved taking fatbot-
tom rides with John Verdon
and testing water samples
to fnd out the phosphate and
nitrate levels. Another was a
pontoon ride with John St-
revers to identify the differ-
ent bird types found on the
river. Students were able to
test their fshing skills with
Kevin Quillin and learn how
to use compasses and GPSs
with the Allamakee County
Conservation Boards Ross
Gerdes. Yet another activity
allowed students to partici-
pate in a scavenger hunt of
the River History Museum.
There is so much we can
learn from the river and we
are fortunate enough to live
right by it. I think we should
use it as a learning tool more
often, stated Mrs. Welsh.
To follow up the trip, stu-
dents will be having a fsh fry
with the fsh they were able to
catch during the day.
Junior High Football
FFA Keeping Busy
This year the Advanced
Desktop Publishing (ADP)
banner ad sales were a great
success. Each year the ADP
students raise money to cov-
er the cost of printing year-
books. The students have
worked hard to raise money
for the yearbooks by selling
the ad packages which also
help promote the businesses
in the local community that
participate.
Kee High FFA President Courtney Cooper keeps busy
with the organizations many activities.

Luther College held a col-
lege fair in the Regents Cen-
ter on Monday, September
15, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Kee High Guidance Coun-
selor Jeannine Hisel took
fve students from school to
participate in the event. There
were approximately 70 insti-
tutions on hand from Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and
South Dakota.
Mrs. Hisel said, This is
a great opportunity for Kee
High students and their par-
ents to begin the process of
post-secondary planning. I
would like to see more stu-
dents and their families take
advantage of having this
many colleges accessible at
one time, less than an hour
away. Not all of the colleges
are able to visit our school
and not all students want to
leave class to visit with a col-
lege representative during the
school day.
The students had to reg-
ister online before they ar-
rived at the event. Registra-
tion provided a bar code with
the students GPA, school,
phone number, email ad-
dress, age, graduation year,
and home address. Through-
out the event, when students
spoke with a representative
of a school and wanted more
information about the college
or visiting dates, the repre-
sentative simply needed to
scan the barcode to record the
students contact information.
Senior Brandon Conway
said, I learned which colleg-
es were better for me, which
programs are available, and
found out about colleges I
hadnt even heard of before.
Junior High Cross Country
by Marquise Phillips
The practices for junior
high cross county is similar
to what the high school run-
ners do. In fact, the junior
high members practice with
the high school runners.
Kee Cross Country Coach
Gary Bottorff believes that
participating with the high
school runnners allows them
to be mentally ready for
meets and the next level of
running.
Coach Bottorff said he
wants to give the junior high
runners the full experience of
participating in cross coun-
try. He hopes that they will
become life long runners and
continue to participate onto
the high school level.
Fall sports are beginning
to wind down and the junior
high cross country team is
striving for that extra mile.
This year there are only
three runners participating
in cross country. Ryan Wha-
len and Josh Walleser are the
only eighth grade students out
for cross country, and seventh
grade student Rachael Wal-
leser is the only girl out for
cross country.
The small number of kids
provides an advantage for the
middle schoolers. The run-
ners receive more individual-
ized attention from the coach
and the runners are encour-
aged to set personal goals that
they are able to acheive.

Student Athletes Need Time to Study
From the Editors Desk . . .
by Ta Fink
Kee Students Celebrate Homecoming 2014
Many student athletes are
overwhelmed by not only
their classes, but also their
lack of time to complete
homework. Another prob-
lem many students com-
plain about is having to take
a physical education class
while active in a sport. Look-
ing at the issues together may
provide a solution.
There are seven class pe-
riods in a day. Freshmen and
sophomores are not eligible
to take an open campus or a
study hall, therefore it is hard
for them to ft time into their
schedules for homework. It
is especially diffcult if they
are active in a sport because
practice lasts until 6 p.m.
That leaves little time for
students to do homework, eat
dinner, and still have a little
bit of free time in their day to
recharge.
If a student is actually in-
volved in a team sport, he or
she should not have to take a
physical education class be-
cause they are already exer-
cising regularly. This, in turn,
would open up an hour for a
study hall that student ath-
letes could use for help and
time to work on homework.
Kee High School requires
four physical education class-
es to be completed within the
four years of high school to
earn a diploma.
Having to take four physi-
cal education classes is not
asking a whole lot, but should
it really be necessary for ath-
letes who play sports all year?
Often students have home-
work on game nights. If stu-
dents have to travel far from
town, then they get home late,
plus they still have homework
to do. This can be a diffcult
situation for student athletes.
For example, if each
teacher were to give a student
20 minutes of homework,
that would still be almost two
hours of homework that the
student needs to complete.
Some athletic events require
an almost two-hour bus ride.
Therefore, getting home late
might result in the students
rushing, putting in a lot less
effort, and being too tired to
understand or focus on what
it is they should be doing.
While some might argue
that students could do their
homework while they are
waiting to play, that is just
not realistic. It is too diff-
cult to concentrate in a loud
sports arena, and as good
teammates, students should
be watching and supporting
one another.
This problem could be
solved by replacing physical
education classes for student
athletes with a study hall to
allow them to get their home-
work done during the school
day so they are not up late at
night. This also provides the
opportunity for students to
get help with assignments or
to make up quizzes or exams
they may have missed due to
early dismissal for a sporting
event.
Certainly, there are some
skills that students are gaining
by having to juggle school,
homework, and sports. For
example, they learn to be-
come better at managing their
time because they have only
so much to work with in their
days. They also learn to set
priorities. They have to de-
cide what the most important
tasks are to complete and get
them done before they run
out of time.
However, if the students
learning is being impacted
in a negative manner while
they are learning to manage
their time and set priorities, is
it worth it? Shouldnt the fo-
cus be on providing the best
learning environment for our
students?

The family of the late
Ivan Torkelson
wishes to express our appreciation and thanks to the
family and many friends who shared their sympathy
and support during our time of great sadness and
loss. Thank you to everyone who visited the church,
made donations in his memory, delivered gifts of
food, called, sent cards, prayers and gave hugs. A
special thank you to Pastor Jerome, Members of Elgin
Lutheran Church, Leonard Grau Funeral Home, West
Union Good Sam, Palmer Lutheran and Hospice. It was
a beautiful service with many personal touches. Words
cannot express how we felt as we left the church
and saw all of the American Legion Members there
to honor their fellow comrade. Ivan was an amazing
man who touched many lives. Although Ivan is gone,
we know he will live on in the memory of all of our
community and us. Thanks again.

A World of Thanks!
Only in a dream could you feel like youre being
treated like a queen. That dream came true for me.
On July 30, I had surgery on my liver. I am thankful
that things turned out great. The luck of the Irish
maybe. First I would like to thank my wonderful husband and parents
for being there the entire day of surgery. Thanks to my sisters family,
my brothers families and all the rest of you who texted me that morning.
Thanks for all your prayers, hugs, cards, food, phone calls, house visits,
little notes, gift certicates and owers (I dont think Ill ever need another
vase). Thank you to Kari & Haden for bringing Robert more clothes
and for taking him out for supper. Thanks also Kari for being my
nurse when I returned home. Thanks to Jule for her early morning visit
and to Clete for visiting and taking Robert out for supper too - all that
helped pass time. Thank you, Robert, for taking care of all my lawn
care. Thanks to all of you who would stop Robert, my parents, and
family members just to see how I was doing. Most of all, thanks so much
for caring. Thanks to Barb and Brea for keeping everyone updated
and to Barb for letting them know what I was craving. Thanks to my
card club for all the food, to Kathy Fossum and Karla Luban for the
prayer chain, to Mike Ward for all his kind words, to Charlene & Julie for
helping out my clients, to Sandi for transportation, and to my classmates
for the cards - it was great to hear from you! Thanks to my Dad and
Tom for taking such good care of Jeb.
Most of all, a big thank you to my surgeon, Dr. Kenrick, Dr. Szarka
and all the nurses at St. Marys - you did a great job caring for me and
making me comfortable. These past three months Robert and I have felt
grateful and so blessed to have a great family and so many wonderful
friends. That is why the world is a better place today because of each
and every one of you. Thanks again to all of you! So take care, stay
healthy, God bless.
As of October 1, I went back to work full time.
I look forward to seeing you! Thanks for all your patience and
willingness to change appointments.
Affectionately, Kristi Kerndt Campbell

75 Years Ago
October 18, 1939

This Week in the
County, State and Nation
Washington, D.C., Oct.
15, (AP) Would you like
to buy a buffalo? Or an elk,
or a mule deer? The govern-
ment has 20 surplus animals
on its big game preserves in
the west and would like to
sell them. Prices will be $45
to $60 for buffalo, $35 to
$55 for elk, and $30 to $45
for a deer, depending upon
weights. The animals are be-
ing sold to avoid overgraz-
ing on preserves in Montana,
Nebraska and North Dakota.
In the event that the entire
surplus stock is not sold the
animals will be available for
state, county, or city zoos,
parks, and game preserves
for the cost of capturing and
transportation.
Des Moines, Oct. 14
(AP)Leland P. Lovette,
public relations director for
the U.S. navy, told a Cham-
ber of Commerce luncheon
meeting here yesterday the
navy must have the strength
to call all bluffs made by
foreign dictator aggressors.
He said the policy of the navy
is defense rst and foremost
and that it can be regarded as
Americas Maginot line.

English Bench
Corn husking can be seen
in every eld.

Pat McKenna is helping
Frank Gardner build a new
corn crib. He will also help
Frank husk 70 acres of high
corn on the river bottom.

Mr. Markwardt and Jim
Mullarkey of the Wexford
neighborhood were sight-
seeing in these parts and at
Eitzen on Sunday. In their
younger days they visited this
vicinity often. Their last call
was 26 years ago this fall.

Waterville
Ray Glynn, who is attend-
ing school at Ames, Ia., came
home Friday to attend the Lu-
ther Homecoming at Decorah
last Saturday. His parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Glynn met
him at Decorah.

Mrs. Francis Jacobson-
Gerley of Kansas City spent
the past week among Water-
ville friends. Mrs. Jacobson
will be remembered as the
lady who served one term as
county supervisor and was
defeated by Bernard Houli-
han.

Harpers Ferry
The county board of su-
pervisors and Auditor Palmer
met here Monday afternoon
with the Town Council to de-
vise means of getting prop-
erty on which taxes have
not been paid for some time
either sold or to have the
owners make an effort to get
back on the tax paying list. It
would be well for those who
know that their property has
been bid in by the county sev-
eral years back to see what
adjustments they can make so
as to save their property.

Bud Rethwisch, A.F. Hou-
lihan and M.J. Wiedner left
Tuesday morning for Des
Moines where a large number
of delegations from east Iowa
will meet with the governor to
discuss the matter of the state
lling the gaps in the pri-
mary road running north and
south along the Mississippi
river. The delegations expect
to go from there to Ames to
meet with the Highway Com-
mission regarding lling in
these gaps. The main point
in view is the Federal Park
Way which is almost certain
to be built on either the west
or east bank of the river. It is
believed that the government
will rst want an unbroken
road on the side they choose
for the parkway.

New Albin
Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Is-
dal and Mr. Chester Powell of
Camanche, Iowa motored up
to New Albin Sunday to visit
Jim Price at Hillsdale Lodge,
returning home in the late af-
ternoon. They were all enthu-
siastic about the scenery and
appearance of New Albin.

Mr. and Mrs. Nevin Irons
and son Richard of Clayton,
Ia., and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Hodges of Chicago motored
here Sunday and visited
relatives. The three former
returned to their homes that
same evening. Mr. and Mrs.
Hodges accompanied by the
latters mother, Mr. J.W. Irons
left Monday for Clear Lake,
Ia., where Mrs. Irons will
remain for a two weeks visit
with her son, Frank and fam-
ily.

board examinations. The two
former went to Milwaukee,
where they will visit their sis-
ter Jeanette; and the two lat-

Madison. They are all mighty
ne girls and will make grand

dar Rapids on his return Tues-
day afternoon.

The pavement in front of
the Elite caf and the J.C.
Penney store is being re-
paired this week. A sanitary
sewer runs beneath that part
of the street and over a period
of time, has caused the pave-
ment to sink considerable.
Workmen have torn out the
bricks and are lling up the
indentation with sand and
concrete before putting the
bricks back in place.
