Sunday accident near
Dubuque claims Waukon man
The Dubuque County Sheriff's Ofce reports that an
accident involving a pick-up truck and two motorcycles
around 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon, August 31 has claimed
the life of a Waukon man and injured his wife. The report
indicates that Thomas Haberichter, 56, of Waukon and
his wife, Nancy Haberichter, 50, were each traveling
northbound on U.S. Highway 52 just south of Dubuque on
their motorcycles when a pick-up truck driven by Kevin
Stocks (age not reported) of Bellevue made a left turn into
the path of both motorcycles near the entrance of Spring
Valley Trailer Park.
The report indicates that both Haberichter motorcycles
struck the pick-up truck. Thomas Haberichter was
reportedly airlifted to the University of Iowa Hospital in
Iowa City, where he passed away as a result of his injuries.
Nancy Haberichter was transported to Finley Hospital in
Dubuque for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Stocks was reportedly not injured in the accident.
The report does not indicate any charges being led in
the incident as of press time Tuesday morning, September
2. The accident remains under investigation.
Supervisors approve
resolution to add
$4.9 million bond
referendum to Nov. 4
general election ballot
for funding of new
public safety center
Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES)
diagnosis severely restricts diet for area 18-month-old
by Bob Beach
The Allamakee County
Board of Supervisors
continued discussions
Tuesday, August 26 about
plans to construct a new
public safety center to house
by Kelli Boylen
freelance writer
Other people kept telling
the County's jail, Sheriff's
Department, Emergency
Management Department and
E911 Department. County
Attorney Jill Kistler presented
the Board with a resolution
to add a bond referendum to
the ballot for the November
4 general election this year,
which would ask voters to
approve the issuance of $4.9
million in general obligation
bonds to fund the project.
Supervisor Sherry Strub
expressed concerns about
the resolution, asking what
would happen if the project
ended up costing more than
$4.9 million. She noted that a
building site had not yet been
selected, pointing out that if
the new public safety center
is built at Makee Manor, the
cost of demolition of the
existing building would add
to the overall project cost.
"I just feel like we're being
rushed into this," Strub said.
"I'm not comfortable with it."
Supervisor Dennis Koenig
said that while he understands
Strub's concerns, he has
condence in the work done
by the Public Safety Center
Committee.
Allamakee County
Sheriff Clark Mellick said
that the jail consultant and
architect had both expressed
condence that the project
could be completed for less
than $5 million. He added
that grants are available
for asbestos removal,
which would account for
a signicant portion of the
cost to demolish the Makee
Manor building, if that turns
out to be the site selected for
construction. He also said
that project plans could be
scaled back in the event that
the actual cost might exceed
the $4.9 million estimate.
Mellick said that the bond
referendum would establish
the maximum cost of the
project and if it could not be
completed for that amount, it
wouldn't be done.
Kistler told the Board that
if the bond referendum is not
on the ballot in November, a
special election would need
Jessica Winters of Cresco,
formerly of Waukon, that her
infant son had colic. But, as
time passed, she knew that
something else was wrong
besides a severe case of colic.
Jessica said her son,
Riven, now 18 months old,
had digestive issues from
the time he came home from
the hospital. He would cry
inconsolably, writhe as if
in pain, and he had near-
constant diarrhea. She tried
breast feeding to no avail, and
then tried numerous formulas
until they found a prescription
formula that worked.
He never stopped crying,
she says. People wouldnt
believe that he cried that
much. Jessica stayed home
with Riven until he was nine
months old.
When he was just two
or three months old, Riven
developed hives for the rst
time, and it was suspected
that laundry detergent was
causing the reaction.
The hives and diarrhea
would come and go as they
started introducing foods.
Riven was diagnosed with
atopic dermatitis and then
eczema, but Jessica knew
there was more going on
than just that. We read all
the parenting books, but the
things we tried just wouldnt
work," she said. I knew
something just wasnt right.
I became assertive and got
a referral to a pediatric
allergist.
The pediatric allergist at
Gundersen in La Crosse,
WI, Dr. Todd Mahr, thought
he knew what was going
on, and after several tests
made the diagnosis of Food
Protein Induced Enterocolitis
Syndrome (FPIES). Riven
was diagnosed three weeks
before his rst birthday.
FPIES is an uncommon
disorder characterized by an
allergic reaction to food in the
gastrointestinal system. The
term enterocolitis specially
refers to inammation of the
small and large intestines
which causes sudden, severe
diarrhea. Symptoms may
last hours to days. Other
symptoms can include
stomach pain, loss of
appetite, vomiting, lethargy
and swelling of the stomach.
Severe symptoms can cause
dehydration and hypovolemic
shock. Every time Riven has
a reaction he has to go on a
formula-only diet for two
weeks.
During his rst year of
life, Riven had croup, RSV
(respiratory syncytial virus),
Nation of Patriots 2014 Patriot Tour
makes its way through Waukon ...
The Nation of Patriots, a volunteer organization with
a mission to provide nancial support to families of
wounded military veterans who have made sacrices
in service to their country, brought its 2014 Patriot Tour
through Waukon last week on its way to completion of
its annual three-month tour across the country. Tour
participants display a United States ag (pictured at
far right), which is transferred between riders at each
designated stop along the tour. The tour began over
the Memorial Day weekend, May 24 from Madison, WI,
making its way through every one of the contiguous 48
United States before nally ending up back in Madison,
WI, where it arrived this past Saturday, August 30.
Riders from Albert Lea, MN brought the ag in to
Waukon Wednesday afternoon, August 27 for its only
Iowa stop, with more than 60 motorcycles meeting at
the Waukon Wellness Center before traversing through
downtown Waukon (also pictured at right) on the way
to Waukon Harley-Davidson, where they were met by
members of the Color Guard from the local American
Legion who ceremoniously folded the ag (pictured
below). Members of the local Harley Owners Group
(HOG) Chapter then departed from Waukon Harley-
Davidson Saturday morning, August 30 with the ag in
their possession, making their way to Badger Harley-
Davidson in Madison, WI to complete the journey. For
more information about the Patriot Tour or the Nation of
Patriots organization, visit www.nationofpatriots.org.
Diagnosis severely limits diet ...

at the Waukon City Park. Riven has been diagnosed with
Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES),

bronchitis and a staph-based
diaper rash. Although they
didnt know it at the time,
FPIES was causing him to
have a low immune system.
Jessica, herself, is
gluten sensitive and lactose
intolerant, but that is a very
short list of items compared
to what Riven cannot eat.
FPIES is often triggered
by milk, soy and rice, but
in Rivens case the list of
foods he can eat is much
shorter than what he cant. In
approximately 70% of cases,
individuals react to one to
two foods, but in Rivens case
he is in the small minority
that has allergic reactions to
multiple things.
After he was diagnosed,
Riven was placed on a
formula-only diet and then
introduced to foods very
slowly, based on his doctors
recommendations. He would
try a new food, wait six or
seven days to make sure there
was no allergic reaction and
then try something new.
At this time the only things
Riven can eat are sweet
potatoes, lima beans, kidney
beans and bananas. His
prescription formula, which
costs $64 a can, is his main
source of nutrition. Although
he was below average weight
when he was young, he is
now growing at a normal
rate despite his many food
allergies.
At one point his family
tried giving him eggs, and the
reaction was more than just
digestion; his breathing got
shallow and he was lethargic.
They have tried giving him

Crystal was born Octo-

Christina (Ziegler) Sickles in
La Crosse, WI. She had just
started her eighth grade year
at Kee High School in Lan-

Crystal was a bright and
enthusiastic girl that would
light up a room with her
smile. Everyone always
thought of her as a kind and
giving soul who would jump
through hoops for anyone.
As kind as she was, she still
knew how to join the guys
and go deer hunting. She was
also an exceptional chef and
loved to show off her cooking
skills. Her interests included
playing volleyball, horseback
riding and hanging out with
her friends and family.

ers, Dallas Sickles and Kent
Worman, both of Lansing;
her grandparents, Tim and
Nancy Mueller of Luana and

and Eugene Ziegler.

New funds will increase access to local foods
Allamakee New Begin-
nings (ANB) has established
three new funds to increase
access of locally-grown and
processed foods in northeast
Iowa.
ANB is the non-prot
sponsor of the Iowa Food
Hub (IFH). IFH unites the
mission and vision of its part-
ners by buying food from
local farmers and selling it
and delivering it to the places
where most people get their
food, like school food service
and grocery stores.
IFH programming focuses
on small and medium-sized
farm viability, food access
and equality, local economic
development, job creation
and retention, beginning and
established farmers, and food
system research and educa-
tion.
The three funds were cre-
ated to facilitate community
investment in the regional
food system.
Contributions to the Food
for All Fund will be directed
toward the EBT (food stamp)
matching program. IFH co-
ordinates a worksite/school
grocery food box delivery
program in the region. Cus-
tomers using EBT benets
receive their food box at half
price because of the dona-
tions to this fund. This fund
was started with a grant from
the Allamakee County Com-
munity Foundation.
Contributions to the Farm
to School Fund will be di-
rected toward schools speci-
ed by the donor, to assist
with purchases of local pork
and beef for school meals.
Contributions to the In-
frastructure Fund will be di-
rected toward the installation
and maintenance of coolers
and freezers at Iowa Food
Hubs new location in Deco-
rah. IFH is currently raising
funds for the $70,000 project.
ANB is a 501(c)(3) chari-
table organization dedicated
to reducing the effects of
poverty in northeast Iowa. All
contributions are tax-deduct-
ible. For more information,
visit www.iowafoodhub.com
or call Teresa Wiemerslage at

Winkie awarded IFAA
Scholarship at State Fair
Michelle Winkie of Waukon was awarded the $1,000
Schlutz Family Beef Breeding Scholarship by the Iowa
Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA) during
the Iowa State Fair Sale of Champions Saturday, August
16. She is a 2014 Waukon High School graduate and the
daughter of Brad and Linda Winkie of Waukon.
"IFAA established the Winner's Circle Scholarship
Program in 1990 to provide incentives for college-bound
youth seeking post-secondary education in an area of ag-
riculture," said Harold Hodson of Ankeny, who chairs the
IFAA Scholarship Committee. Over $189,250 in scholar-
ships were awarded to 129 youth this year by IFAA.
IFAA is a non-prot organization founded in 1988. It is
comprised of agricultural enthusiasts dedicated to encour-
aging 4-H and FFA livestock, poultry and agriculture proj-
ect members to pursue ag-related careers. IFAA founders
recognized that Iowa's young people are the future of ag-
riculture in Iowa and that an important way to support and
retain Iowa's future ag leaders is to provide nancial sup-
port to those young people interested in ag careers.

The trained Emergen-
cy Medical Services (EMS)
professionals who rush to a
patients side in an emergen-
cy - at a private residence, a
roadside or a place of busi-
ness - may not know with
100% certainty the circum-
stances in a medical crisis
until they arrive at the scene.
For this reason, health care
educators at Northeast Iowa
Community College (NICC)
are turning to advanced sim-
ulation technology to recreate
EMS scenarios to supplement
every students training and
career preparation.
Starting this fall, new am-
bulance simulators at the
colleges Peosta and Calmar
campuses are offering invalu-
able training experiences for
students enrolled in EMS pro-
gramming, according to Sam
Janecke, EMS program direc-
tor at NICC. At NICC, we
have always utilized a simu-
lated patient, such as a man-
ikin or a fellow student, to
provide training experiences
for students that prepare them
for emergency situations.
With the new ambulance
simulators, our students are
equipped with a piece of the
puzzle that had been miss-
ing, Janecke said. Students
will learn safe cot handling,
loading into the ambulance,
comforting a patient who is
undergoing trauma, and pro-
viding a second or third set of
vitals to report trending con-
ditions while en route to the
hospital or emergency care
setting.
Janecke said much of the
training surrounding ambu-
ticipants will gain insight into
aromatherapy - the use of es-
sential oils to support physi-
cal, mental, emotional and
spiritual well-being.
Communicating with
Your Teen: Yes, You Need to
Use Social Media (#31598)
is scheduled for Wednesday,
October 1 from 6:30-8:30
p.m. at NICC Waukon Cen-
ter. Parenting teenagers is all
about communication, so get
comfortable using Twitter,
Instagram, Facebook and oth-
er social media sites because
thats how teens connect with
others today. In this demon-
stration class, learn how to
set up accounts and use var-
ious social media sites, how
to post, friend, upload and
download photos and videos,
and how to do all this while
safely maintaining privacy.
Participants are asked to bring
a smart phone, tablet or lap-
top to class. For more infor-
mation, call the NICC Wau-
kon Center at 563-568-3060.
NICC Foundation receives grant at Calmar campus to
support expansion of its Vet2Vet mentoring program
For many veterans, the
journey from U.S. military
service to re-integrated civil-
ian life is not an easy one, and
the Vet2Vet Mentoring Pro-
gram at Northeast Iowa Com-
munity Colleges (NICC)
Calmar campus is receiving a
grant from the Disabled Vet-
erans National Foundation
(DVNF) to expand its ser-
vices to students who served.
The $9,468 DVNF grant
to the NICC Foundation will
support the Vet2Vet Peer
Mentoring Programs goals to
expand its presence on cam-
pus, and to provide ongoing
resources that help student
veterans integrate into cam-
pus life and succeed academ-
ically. The grant also funds a
peer mentor staff position to
work one-on-one with student
veterans.
At the NICC Calmar cam-
pus, the Vet2Vet program
currently provides services
that include peer mentoring,
social networking, commu-
nity engagement and other
advocacy efforts to encourage
military-friendly practices on
simulators, Janecke added.
The new thing in health-
care is simulation because
students learn by doing - its
the most hands-on. Addition-
ally, the simulators at both
campuses have built-in digital
recorders that will record ev-
erything in video and audio,
which allows instructors to
create a DVR and then de-
brief groups of three to four
students. We can recap their
training exercises and discuss
things they did well or could
improve upon, he said.
The ambulance simulators
at both campuses were pur-
chased and installed at a cost
of approximately $80,000.

was founded in 2007 by six
women veterans to help ad-
dress the chronic gap in ser-
vices these veterans face. To-
day, DVNF exists to provide
critically needed support to
disabled and at-risk veter-
ans who leave the military
wounded - physically or psy-
chologically.

How to stay within your
home improvement budget
Courtesy
Metro Creative Editorials
Home improvement
projects range from
small scale undertakings
that can be tackled in
a single weekend to
large remodels that can
take several months to
complete. While no two
projects are the same,
every home improvement
project demands that
homeowners dip into their
pockets and spend some
money.
Much like the scale of
projects varies greatly,
so, too, do the nancial
commitments required
of homeowners to make
those projects a reality.
But no matter the size of
the project, homeowners
can nd ways to stretch
their budgets without
sacricing the quality of
their improvements.
Do your homework.
Before you decide to
make changes to your
home, its best to rst
do some research into
any potential projects
youre considering. Many
homeowners have decided
to dive into a project before
they fully realize its scope
and cost, and going in blind
can bust a budget, turning
what might have seemed
like a relatively simple
project into a money pit.
Understanding just what
a project entails and how
much its likely to cost can
give homeowners an idea
of what they can afford and
where they might be able
to stretch their budgets.
For example, if you want
to replace your kitchen
countertops but cant
afford engineered quartz
countertops, you might be
able to nd a less expensive
alternative, such as tile,
that you like just as much.
But its best to research
such alternatives before
you decide to replace
your existing countertops.
If you cant nd a less
expensive alternative, you
might want to postpone the
project until you can grow
your budget. But starting
the project without rst
grasping its true cost is a
recipe for disaster, so do
your homework before you
nd your toolbox and start
working.
Build unforeseen
expenses into your
budget. Another way to
stay within your budget is
to include budget-busting
unforeseen expenses into
the budget from the get-
go. Whether youre doing
the project yourself or
paying a contractor, nearly
every home improvement
project will present some
unforeseen, and costly,
hurdles. For example,
you might nd mold inside
the walls when youre
converting a basement,
and it can cost a pretty
penny to make that mold
go away.
If you go into the project
expecting such hurdles,
then the nancial sting of
addressing them wont
prove too great a burden.
But if the mold catches you
and your budget completely
off guard, you might be
forced to overextend that
budget or make sacrices
elsewhere in order to
complete the project.
Build some contingency
money, including permit
and permit fees, into your
home improvement project
to safeguard against such
unforeseen issues.
Get to work. If youre
hiring a contractor, speak
to him or her before signing
a contract to see if there is
anywhere you can pitch in
to keep the labor costs low.
You might be able to pitch
in during the demolition
phase, saving the cost of
paying your contractors
workers to tear down walls
or remove debris you
can just as easily remove
yourself. Another way to
pitch in is to do the end-of-
day cleanup yourself. Any
role you play with regard
to labor will likely need
to be negotiated upfront,
but you can save yourself
a substantial amount of
money on labor if youre
willing to get your hands
dirty.
Determine if
piecemeal is the most
affordable option. Some-
times it makes sense to
tackle one project at a
time, while other times
you might want to combine
projects to save on the cost
of materials. For instance,
if your ultimate goal is
to install wood ooring
throughout your home,
determine if it makes more
nancial sense to install
the ooring all at once
rather than doing one or
two rooms at a time. You
might save by buying
all of your materials at
once rather than buying a
small amount of materials
several times over the next
several years.
Home improvement
projects often go a long
way toward making a
home more enjoyable for
its owners and inhabitants.
And while such projects
can be costly, homeowners
who stay disciplined can
still get their dream homes
without busting their
budgets.

End-of-summer checklist
Courtesy
After a few months
of blue skies and warm
temperatures, summer
revelers will soon bid adieu
to the sultry days of this
beloved season. Summer
is often a season lled with
vacations and recreation,
but as the warm days
dwindle and work and
school commitments begin
anew, there is additional
work to be done in
preparation for the months
ahead.
* Stock up on pool
equipment. Homeowners
who have pools can take
advantage of end-of-
season sales to purchase
a few more gallons of
pool chlorine or other pool
equipment. Store them
after you have winterized
the pool, and you will be
ahead of the game in terms
of supplies for next year.
* Plan your garden
harvest. If you have a
backyard garden, pick
your tomatoes and other
vegetables before the
weather starts to get chilly.
Herbs can be washed
and frozen in zipper-top
baggies so they can be
used when cooking over
the next several months.
Boil tomatoes for sauce
and freeze or jar them.
Begin to clear out residual
stems and plant debris
from the garden.
* Clean patios and
furniture. Scrub and hose
down outdoor furniture,
cushions and living areas.
Clean and dry items before
storing them for the winter,
so everything is ready to
go when the warm weather
returns next year.
* Purchase spring
bulbs. Buy bulbs for
spring-blooming owers
and map out where they
will be planted for beautiful
owers next year. Wait
until temperatures start
to dip before planting the
bulbs, otherwise they may
begin to produce shoots
prematurely, zapping the
bulbs of energy.
* Check the heating
system. Although turning
on the heat may be the last
thing youre thinking about,
its a good idea to test it
and, if necessary, have the
system serviced prior to
the arrival of cold weather.
* Tend to the deck
and other repairs.
Make repairs to outdoor
structures now, and theyll
be more likely to survive
the harsh weather thats
just over the horizon. Apply
stain or sealant to further
protect wood structures in
advance of snow and ice.
* Examine the roof and
chimney. Winter is a poor
time to learn you have
missing roof shingles or a
leak. Furthermore, ensure
the chimney and venting
to the outdoors is not
obstructed by abandoned
animal nests.
* Check your closets.
Go through clothing and
remove any items that are
damaged or no longer t,
donating them if possible.
Clean out kids closets
as well, as pants that
t perfectly in May will
not necessarily t come
September.
* Stock the shed. Once
the weather has cooled
down, move outdoor
ower pots, hoses and
lawn ornaments you no
longer need into the shed
or garage while ensuring
items needed in fall and
winter, such as rakes, snow
shovels and snowblowers,
are more accessible.
Homeowners about
to embark on home
improvement projects
should prioritize dust
removal to avoid the
potentially negative side
effects of exposure to lead
dust. When undergoing
a renovation, homes built
before 1978, the year
the use of lead paint
was banned, are likely to
produce lead dust, which
occurs when lead paint is
sanded or chipped. That
dust can be especially
harmful to children,
pregnant women and pets.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention, lead dust that
is as small as a grain of
sand is enough to poison
children, who may suffer
brain damage, hearing
Did you know?
loss, nervous system
and kidney damage,
and decreased muscle
and bone growth after
exposure to lead dust.
When pregnant women
are exposed to lead
dust, that exposure
may affect the babys
cognitive development
while increasing the
mothers blood pressure.
Household pets exposed
to lead dust may suffer
from a series of side
effects, including vomiting,
diarrhea, abdominal pain
and possibly death. When
making renovations to their
homes, homeowners can
open windows and wear
protective gear such as
masks and safety goggles
to avoid direct exposure to
lead dust.

Get the 411 on ooring
Courtesy
Choosing the right
ooring for a home is
no small task. Flooring
is expensive, so home-
owners want to make the
best decision possible so
their choice of ooring is
not one they regret and
ultimately replace in the
years to come.
When choosing oor-
ing for their homes,
many homeowners are
overwhelmed by the
options at their disposal.
Each type of ooring can
look great in its own way,
which is why homeowners
may struggle to nd the
right t for their homes.
Educating yourself about
ooring is a great way
to make the process of
choosing your next oor
much less overwhelming
and more enjoyable. The
following are some of the
more popular ooring
options you will no doubt
encounter as your search
for a awless oor begins.
Hardwood
Nearly everyone is
familiar with hardwood
oors, which are durable,
warm and a favorite of
homeowners aiming for
a traditional look. Homes
with open oor plans often
benet from hardwood
ooring, as it creates the
feeling of continuity that
homeowners hope to
achieve with open oor
plans. Various species,
including oak, maple
and cherry, of hardwood
ooring are available, and
they typically vary in price,
with more exotic imported
options carrying hefty
price tags. More traditional
hardwood ooring is less
expensive, and solid wood
ooring can be renished
several times to increase
its lifespan.
Engineered wood
Engineered wood is less
susceptible to temperature
changes and humidity than
solid wood, and some new
varieties of engineered
wood include substrates
made from recycled wood
ber and stone dust,
which may appeal to eco-
friendly homeowners. Men
and women who want to
install their own oors may
prefer engineered wood,
which is now available
in self-locking parquet or
plank squares that can be
installed without using glue
or nails.
Bamboo
Bamboo is another
ooring alternative thats
popular among eco-
conscious homeowners,
as it comes from plants
that regenerate quickly and
is therefore considered
a sustainable material.
Bamboo ooring is made
of strands of bamboo that
are glued together, forming
engineered planks or solid
strips. Bamboo ooring is
strong and able to resist
the negative effects of
uctuating humidity, which
include swelling and
contraction. Many people
prefer the fresh, bright feel
of bamboo ooring.
Laminate
Laminate ooring is
among the less expensive
ooring materials to buy
and install. Homeowners
who purchase laminate
ooring have an array of
options to choose from,
and oating laminate
ooring systems can be
installed over existing
oors without glue or
nails. Some feel laminate
ooring is indistinguishable
from real wood, but the
plastic coating that makes
up the top layer of laminate
ooring is often a giveaway
that the oors are laminate
and not real wood.
Similar in construction to
engineered wood, laminate
ooring differs because its
top layer is a photographic
imprint on the face of
each board, whereas
engineered wood is made
up of real hardwood
veneer attached to several
layers of plywood.
Cork
Cork is another
sustainable ooring
material thats a favorite
among homeowners
looking to make their
homes more eco-friendly.
The appearance of cork
oors is unlike many
ooring materials, as it
is speckled thanks to
unusual grain patterns of
the trees from which it is
harvested. Cork ooring
is popular in kitchens
and bathrooms because
cork tiles have a naturally
nonslip surface that makes
areas of a home where
oors get wet safer. Cork
ooring may need to be
resealed every few years
to guard against stains and
potential moisture issues.
Flooring choices vary
greatly, and its easy for
homeowners to become
overwhelmed by all
of the options at their
disposal. But taking time to
understand each of those
options can make the
process of choosing a oor
that much more fun.

that look, but perhaps
nothing denes a kitchen
more than a homeowners
choice of countertops.
Countertops are where
the action takes place in a
kitchen. Its where meals
are prepared and where
hungry houseguests or
curious kids watch the
family chef whip up the
nights meal. The options
with regard to countertop
surfaces are numerous,
and the following are just
a few of the more popular
options homeowners
planning to replace their
existing surfaces might
want to consider.
Laminate
Laminate countertops
are popular and affordable.
Made of sheeting glued to
plywood or particleboard
substrate, laminate
countertops are water-
resistant but not very heat-
resistant, so homeowners
will want to place any
hots pans, pots or baking
sheets on trivets to
maintain the laminate.
Many homeowners prefer
laminate countertops
because they are
available in so many
colors, meaning they can
match any homeowners
preferences, no matter
how colorful those
preferences are. Cutting
on laminate countertops
is not recommended, but
such surfaces are easy to
clean and maintain.
Quartz
Quartz is among the
most durable countertop
surfaces available, as it is
resistant to bacteria, heat,
stains, and water. Though
quartz is not available
in as many shades as
laminate, it is similarly
easy to clean. Also like
laminate countertops,
quartz surfaces tend to
have easily visible seams,
which may irk homeowners
who nd such minor
imperfections an eyesore.
Quartz countertops can be
expensive depending on
the amount of surface area
a kitchen has, so budget-
conscious homeowners
with especially large
kitchens may nd quartz
countertops bust their
budgets.
Granite
The natural beauty of
granite is what draws many
homeowners to install this
popular surface material in
their kitchens. Thanks to
their unique shading and
tone, granite countertops
are never the same from
one home to the next, and
granite complements many
different cabinet colors.
Granite also is resistant to
heat, scarring and, when
sealed properly, stains.
Granite is naturally porous,
so if it is not sealed properly,
it can harbor bacteria.
Some granite countertops
must be sealed annually,
while some pretreated
countertops can go as
long as 15 years without a
need for resealing. Unlike
other countertop surface
materials, granite, which is
among the most expensive
countertop materials, does
not come in a vast array
of colors, so homeowners
should expect to choose
from just 20 or so color
options.
Recycled glass
Homeowners who want
to give their kitchens
a modern and eco-
friendly feel may want to
consider recycled glass
countertops. Recycled
glass countertops, the
majority of which are now
produced with 80 to 90
percent post-consumer
glass, are made of pieces of
glass that are held together
with cement binders.
Some might be concerned
that countertops made of
recycled glass are not very
strong, but the cement
binders are very hard,
making the countertops
durable, strong and unlikely
to chip or crack. Recycled
glass countertops come
in various colors and are
resistant to both heat
and stains. Installation of
recycled glass countertops
can be tricky, as improper
installation can lead to
stress points that make
the glass susceptible to
cracking. As a result, the
installation of recycled
glass countertops is
best left to professionals
with experience on such
projects. Recycled glass
countertops can be quite
expensive as well.
A homeowners choice
of countertop surface
material can go a long
way toward dening the
personality of his or her
kitchen, so homeowners
should consider their
options before making a
nal decision.

Help Children Read for
Success
Children must learn to read
before they can read to learn.
Parents, families and friends
can help them on their way to
reading independently.
Reading is an important
skill for children for many
reasons, especially because
up until the end of third
grade, most children are
learning to read. However,
in fourth grade they begin
reading to learn. They begin
using their skills to gain more
information in subjects such
as math and science and to
solve problems. They are
beginning to think critically
about what they are learning,
as well as act upon and share
that knowledge in the world
around them.
If children are reading
below grade level, their
textbooks and other materials
will be hard for them to
understand and cause
frustration. We cannot depend
on schools to take the full
responsibility for children
becoming good readers by
themselves.
There are many things
parents, grandparents,
siblings or family friends can
do to help children learn to
read independently. Reading
to babies helps them attend
to language, learn new words
and understand the structure
of language. Reading stories
to preschoolers helps them
work on meaning and
language development. Older
preschoolers are moving to
more complex stories with a
plot. They are understanding
more about themselves
and others, and also are
developing richer language
and more sophisticated
vocabulary. Children with
a large working vocabulary
will do better in school.
As children get older,
they need someone to read
with them and become a
reading partner. Reading
then becomes a shared
experience with both of you
participating. It is easy to do
and may be more enjoyable
for everyone.
Here are some shared
reading strategies, starting
with ones for younger
inexperienced readers to
more independent readers:
For younger readers, nd
books with many pictures.
Ask the child open-ended
questions about the pictures
and have the child tell the
story through the pictures.
Gradually, as the child
becomes more familiar with
print, before reading a page,
ask the child to nd certain
words and letters or the
largest and smallest word.
In books that have repeating
phrases, ask the child to ll in
those phrases.
As skills build, you can
read a passage in a book and
then ask the child to read it
or even with the child, read a
passage out loud at the same
time. Taking turns reading
pages comes next. Finally,
ask the child to read out loud
to you.
Helping children become
better readers can be as
easy as talking to them and
adding new words to their
vocabulary. Help them write
their own stories and illustrate
them by drawing pictures.
Have books available in
your home. Encourage your
childrens interest in reading.
It will help them in school
and promote a lifelong love
of reading.

to children by attending a

to be held, which would cost
the County approximately
$10,000.
After some discussion, the
Board unanimously approved
a resolution to put the
following question to voters
November 4: Shall the
County of Allamakee, State
of Iowa, enter into a loan
agreement and issue general
obligation bonds in an amount
not exceeding the amount of
$4,900,000, for the purpose
of acquiring real estate
(if necessary), preparing
a site, and constructing,
furnishing and equipping
a Public Safety Center that
will provide space for the
Sheriffs Department, jail,
dispatch center, Emergency
Management Department and
E911 Department? Ofcial
notice of the upcoming
special election is published
on Page 12A of this week's
newspaper.
In related matters, the
Board agreed to hire Bob
Josten of Dorsey and Whitney
to act as the County's bond
attorney for the Public Safety
Center project. The Board
also listened to presentations
by representatives from Speer
Financial, D.A. Davidson
and Northland Securities, all
of whom expressed interest
in serving as the County's
nancial advisor and/or
underwriter for the project.
The Board agreed to table
the selection of a nancial
consultant for the project
until its next regular meeting.
The Board also held a
public hearing regarding the
adoption of an ordinance
to establish the Local
Option Sales and Service
melon, pork, citrus, dairy,
gluten, soy and peaches,
all of which caused allergic
reaction.
Its really hard because
its not a visible illness,
Jessica says. People think
they are being nice offering
him things, but that could be
disastrous.
In addition to the FPIES,
Riven also has IgE allergic
reactions, which are more of
a systemic allergic reaction,
such as hives, problems
breathing and anaphylactic
shock.
He has also shown
allergic reactions to certain
sunscreens, some synthetic
fabrics and at one point they
gured out he is allergic to
the red food dyes 40 and 45
which are used in Benadryl
(a common over-the-counter
antihistamine).
In his year and a half of
life, Riven has been to the
emergency room at least
11 times for things like
bronchitis that he was not
able to ght off because of his
weakened immune system,
and several times because of
allergic reactions to foods.
Jessica has been working
to teach Riven to give her
food that other people offer
Tax throughout the County,
which was approved by
voters August 5. Hearing no
comments from the public,
the Board closed the public
hearing and then approved
the rst reading of the
ordinance, waived the second
and third readings and passed
the ordinance. The full text of
the ordinance is published on
Page 12A of this newspaper.
In other business, the Board
met with Bruce Palmborg,
representing Lansing Main
Street Matters, who asked for
the Board's approval to make
nal payment to a consultant
who assisted with an
application to add downtown
Lansing to the National
Register of Historic Places.
He reminded the Board that
the County had agreed to act
as the scal agent for a grant
to pay the consultant and
asked that the County pay the
$5,000 consultant fee, which
would then be reimbursed.
Palmborg told the Board
that Lansing's application to
be added to the register had
been unanimously approved
at the state level, which he
said is a very good indication
that the application will be
approved by the National
Park Service. He said that
once the application has
been approved at the federal
level, downtown businesses
would be eligible for grants
to restore their buildings. He
added that designation as an
ofcial historic place may
also result in more tourism
in Lansing, as there are some
who plan their vacations
with the purpose of visiting
historic places. The Board
approved the payment to
the consultant and thanked
Palmborg for all his work on
behalf of the City of Lansing.

ACED votes to extend
Driftless Safari Scavenger
Hunt through Halloween
The Allamakee Coun-
ty Economic Development
(ACED) Board of Directors
voted to extend the Drift-
less Safari Scavenger Hunt
through Halloween this year,
October 31. This extension
will allow county residents,
families, school groups,
youth groups and visitors the
opportunity to do some extra
exploring while out and about
enjoying the sites and colors
of the fall season.
"It is the perfect time of
year to be enjoying the out-
doors and a fun activity for
groups of all ages," says Ardie
Kuhse of Allamakee County
Economic Development.
Complete Safari materials
can still be picked up at any
one of the libraries within the
Allamakee County commu-
nities of Waukon, Waterville,
Harpers Ferry, Lansing, New
Albin or Postville, or at the
Allamakee County Economic
Development ofce in Wau-
kon. All completed guide-
books will be eligible for a
free ice cream cone compli-
ments of WW Homestead
Dairy through October.

him or that he nds. This is
something that excludes him
from everyday things because
of what could happen, she
says. At a recent family
reunion, Jessica placed a
piece of tape across the front
of Rivens shirt that read, Do
not feed me.
There is a good chance that
Riven could eat some other
foods, and the ideal way to do
that would be to do a 30- to
60-day food trial at University
Hospital in Iowa City. There
they would introduce new
foods and have the ability to
treat him immediately if there
was a reaction. Unfortunately,
a food trial like this is
considered research and is
not covered by insurance.
There is a chance Riven
will grow out of the allergies
as he gets older, but Jessica
says every time he has a
severe reaction to a food the
chances of that decrease. The
family is considering holding
a benet in the future to help
fray the cost of undergoing
the testing in Iowa City.
For now, Riven undergoes
frequent blood testing
to check for IgE allergic
reactions to try to expand his
diet. If the blood test shows
a food is a possible non-
allergen, he tries eating it. If
there is no FPIES reaction
for seven days, it could be
added to his diet. If the blood
test shows there is a reaction,
the food will not be tried
again until Riven is ve.
Jessica is a single mom
who is going to school full-
time at Total Look School
of Cosmetology in Cresco.
She says she decided to share
her story because she wants
to let others know there are
disorders like this out there
and there are people dealing
with things like this, and to
share Rivens story. Hes the
reason I wake up every day.
Im his voice, she said.
Riven is the son of Jared
Crank, and the grandson
of Brad Winters (Patricia
Kammeyer) of Waukon,
Annika Winters (Paul
Lincoln) of Strawberry Point,
and Tom and Tamara Crank
of Waterville.

Rededication of historical signage ...
Winneshiek County Historical Society has restored the historical marker at the
Frankville Stone School and recently rededicated the refurbished sign. Society board
members (left to right in above photo) Roger Bergan and Kevin Lee are pictured by the
newly restored marker. Photo courtesy of the Winneshiek County Historical Society.
The Decorah Genealogy
Association and Winneshiek
County Historical Society
hosted a potluck supper at
the historic Frankville Stone
School Monday, August 25
to rededicate the historic
marker recently refurbished
the school site.
Back in the early days
of the Winneshiek Coun-
ty Historical Society there
were nine historical markers
placed around the county, in-
cluding one at the Frankville
School. All of these signs
have been refurbished during
the last four years, the
Frankville School sign being
the most recent.
The little village of
Frankville was plotted in
1853. The rst school house
was a small wooden struc-
ture built about 1856. In
1870 Mary Sharp purchased
lot 59 on State Street from
Mr. Francis Teabout. She
and her husband deeded lots
58 and 60 on Spring Street
and lot 59 on State Street to
the Independent School Dis-
trict Number 1, Frankville
Village, and in the spring of
1871 a call for sealed propos-
als for the construction of a
new school building on those
lots was announced in the
Decorah Republican news-
paper.
The new Frankville
School, a two-story building
made of locally quarried and
cut limestone from the Wil-
liams Quarry, was erected
and completed in 1872 by
Historical marker rededicated
at Frankville Stone School
W.H. Hooper, who laid all the
stone and did the plastering
along with other work. The
school was in continuous use
until the close of the school
year in June 1962.
The building remained va-
cant until June 1963, when it
was sold at auction and pur-
chased by the Winneshiek
County Historical Society.
The building was then de-
veloped into a museum with
artifacts from the Frankville
area and opened to the public.
Shamrock PATH ride to benefit Thunder Rode ...
The American Competitive Trail Horse Association (ACTHA) and Professional
Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International have teamed up to assist
local therapeutic centers with a fundraising event called the Shamrock PATH Ride.
Saturday, September 13, there will be a competitive trail ride to benefit Thunder Rode
therapeutic horsemanship, beginning and ending at Aaron and Michelle Kruses farm,
located at 1957 Meadowlark Road, Decorah. The ride is rescheduled from last March.
Pictured above during a Thunder Rode session are Sara Olson of Decorah riding
Whinny and being accompanied by volunteer Judy Sweeney of Waukon.

"Map of My Kingdom"
play addresses issue
of farmland transition
A play addressing the
critical issue of farmland
ownership will be performed
Sunday, September 7 at
Washington Prairie Lutheran
Church in Decorah. The play,
Map of My Kingdom, was
commissioned by Practical
Farmers of Iowa and written
by playwright Mary Swander.
A potluck meal will take
place before the show at 6
p.m., and the play will be-
gin at 7 p.m. Those planning
to take part in the meal are
asked to bring a side dish or
dessert to share. All guests
are asked to RSVP to Lauren
Zastrow at 515-232-5661 or
lauren@practicalfarmers.org
by Thursday, September 4.
In the play, character An-
gela Martin, a lawyer and me-
diator in land transition dis-
putes, shares stories of how
farmers and landowners have
approached their land transi-
tions. Some families struggle
to resolve the sale or transfer
of their land, dissolving rela-
tionships. Others have found
peacefully rational solutions
that focused on keeping the
land - and the family - togeth-
er.
According to Dan Wil-
son, president of Practical
Farmers and a member of the
groups Farm Transfer Com-
mittee, the play is a good
way at getting at a tremen-
dous farmland transition that
is about to take place in Iowa,
as elderly landlords begin to
pass on. Many farmers will
lose farmland - their source of
livelihood - during this tran-
sition, unless we tackle these
issues.
Fifty-six percent of Iowa
farmland is owned by people
over the age of 65, according
to a report by retired Iowa
State University economist
Mike Duffy, Farmland Own-
ership and Tenure Report in
Iowa 2012. Thirty percent
of Iowa farmland is owned by
those older than 75 years of
age.

Waukon football team falls to South Winn in season opener
The Waukon football team
got off to a quick start in its
season and home opener
against Class 1A top-ve rat-
ed South Winneshiek Friday,
August 29, the Indians scor-
ing right away on the games
third play from scrimmage.
The momentum of that quick
Indian score, however, was
methodically worn away by a
strong Warrior ground game
and more stoic defensive
effort, the combination of
which outgained the Indians,
265-39, on the way to a 34-12
Indian defeat.
This game was really
decided on the line of scrim-
mage, Waukon football
coach Chad Beermann said.
Their offensive line was able
to knock our defensive line
off the ball. Most of their runs
were straight at us, not so
much an issue with scheme
as it was just being dominat-
ed up front. When we were
on offense, we made mental
errors in our blocking that al-
lowed blitzers to run free into
our backeld.
That initial Indian outburst
that found paydirt in just three
plays took just one minute off
the clock to start the game.
Senior Jake Ronan looked in
a long pass from junior Pey-
ton Hesse to start the series
before Hesse capped off that
game-opening possession
with a nal 32-yard sprint
to paydirt and that 6-0 Indi-
an headstart after the Tribes
failed extra point try.
South Winneshiek, literal-
ly, grounded out an answer
with a more methodical drive
that chewed up nearly four
minutes and nearly the entire
length of the eld to push the
Warriors in front, 8-6, after
a successful two-point con-
version. That trend for South
Winneshiek would continue
to 34 unanswered points for
the visiting Warriors, while
Waukons rst-series fortune
would not be realized again
until the very last series of the
game.
On our rst drive, we
were able to catch South
Winn before they had settled
in, Coach Beermann said.
Peyton Hesse made a great
throw to Jake Ronan, then
a great read on his run for a
TD. After that, their blitzes
were more up the middle,
and their edge players stayed
home. South Winn has a very
athletic groups of kids, and
their defensive speed gave us
problems.
South Winneshieks con-
tinued dominance on the
ground, coupled with a re-
newed defensive effort after
giving up that early Indian
strike pushed the visiting
Warriors to a 16-6 advantage
after one quarter and a 22-6
lead at the halftime break.
That lead could have been
much more if not for a pair
of turnovers deep in Indian
territory, Ronan picking off
a South Winn pass in the end
zone to halt one drive and se-
nior Adam Benzing gobbling
up a fumble inside the Tribes
own ve-yard line just short
of another possible Warrior
tally.
Ronans contributions
were brought to a halt just
prior to the halftime break, as
he suffered an injury that took
him out of the remainder of
the game and perhaps longer,
depending upon his recovery
time. We are hopeful he will
be able to return this week,
Coach Beermann said of
Ronan. In the rst half, Jake
did a good job covering South
Winns elite all-state receiver,
Jordan Rommes, including an
interception in the end zone.
After he left the game, South
Winn hit Rommes for a cou-
ple of big passes.
Those passes and the con-
tinued South Winn ground
game grind resulted in anoth-
er couple of Warrior touch-
downs in the second half, as
a steady rain that fell heavi-
ly at times made moving the
ball difcult for each squad.
South Winn had pushed its
lead to as much as 34-6, but
the Indians kept ghting to
put together one nal scoring
drive to end the game.
Hesse converted passes to
the senior tandem of Landon
Sivesind, for 24 yards, and
Michael Howe, for nine yards,
to keep the drive alive before
scrambling through the South
Winn rush to complete one -
nal pass in the closing minute.
Hesse hooked up with junior
Christian Wenthold for that
nal 10-yard scoring strike,
nalizing the games scoring

To ofciate high school football each year you need to pass a test and attend
a clinic one out of every three years. Here is a sampling from this year's test:
A back may wear a jersey numbered 50 through 79?
True, however, they would not be an eligible receiver. There is another rule
that requires at least ve players numbered 50-79 to be on the line of scrimmage
at the snap.
A requirement for being on the offensive line is that the lineman's head or
foot must break an imaginary plane drawn parallel to the line of scrimmage
through the waist of the snapper when the ball is snapped?
True, at least seven players need to be on the line of scrimmage at the snap.
If an ofcial stops the clock for a bleeding player and his team calls a time-
out, the player may remain in the game?
False, they must be removed for at least one play and blood cannot be exposed
to other players.
With rst and 10 from the offensive ten-yard line the quarterback drops back
into his own end zone where he is tackled by the facemask and fumbles. The ball
rolls out-of-bounds at the ve-yard line. What is the ruling?
- First and ten from the ten-yard line.
- First and ten from the fteen-yard line.
- First and ten from the twenty-yard line.
- First and ten from the twenty-ve-yard line.
The basic enforcement principles revolve around two types of plays: running
and loose ball. In running plays, enforcement is from the end of the run. Loose
ball plays are enforced from where the ball is snapped, the previous spot. There
are exceptions to both types of plays. This one became a loose ball play when
fumbled, thus, the fteen-yard penalty is enforced from the ten, resulting in a
rst and ten from the twenty-ve. If he did not fumble, the enforcement would've
been the goal line since it occurred in the end zone, resulting in a rst-and-ve
at the fteen.

Kee volleyball team begins season with
home sweep of Seneca and De Soto, WI
victory with a 16-14 triumph.
The girls never gave up
and always believed that
they could pull it out, which
they did, Coach Ellis said.
Throughout the night, these
girls never got down. Even
after the rst set loss, they
were always up and played
with tremendous energy.
Junior Mikayla Gavin led
the Hawk offense with 14
kills, with seniors Sadie Hill
and Val Meyer each knocking
down nine winners at the net.
Junior Ellie Cooper recorded
a team-high 19 assists, with
sophomore Courtney Cooper
adding 13 helps while Meyer
and Gavin each teamed up for
a pair of blocks. Junior Lilly
Winters posted a team-lead-
ing 23 digs and also served
up a pacesetting seven aces
in converting 17 of 22 ser-
vice tries. Freshman Kendra
Cooper served up three aces
in making good on 16 of her
17 serve tries.
I have to give credit to
all of our players, this was a
true team win, Coach Ellis
said. Even the bench contrib-
uted to the cause, being that
all-important seventh player
with their cheering and en-
thusiasm. Three of our senior
starters also played a great
match against Seneca. Sadie
Hill played the best I have
seen her play. She played a
very smart match, taking full
swings when needed and tip-
ping balls for points when she
saw openings. Molly (Walles-
er) and Val (Meyer) also had
good nights in the hitting de-
partment. Both of these two
are playing new positions this
year and have made a very
nice transition. As a whole,
our passing was better than
average, which made it easi-
er on our rookie setters, Ellie
and Courtney Cooper.
The Hawks are next sched-
uled to take on Class 1A
11th-rated Turkey Valley and
Class 3A New Hampton at
Turkey Valley Thursday, Sep-
tember 4 before playing at
South Winn Thursday, Sep-
tember 11.
The Kee volleyball team
opened its 2014 campaign
with a sweep of a home
double-dual with Wisconsin
schools from De Soto and
Seneca Thursday, August 28.
at 34-12 after the two-point
conversion was denied.
We told the kids lms
wont be much fun on Mon-
day, but it will really give us
a great teaching tool, Coach
Beermann summarized. We
played too high on defense,
and made some easily cor-
rectable mistakes on the of-
fensive line. Those can be
xed, and will be addressed
this week. We also need to do
a better job blocking down-
eld on our screens.
The Indians managed only
39 yards on the ground, with
senior Marshall Lyons post-
ing a team-high nine yards on
just one rushing attempt. De-
spite his 32-yard touchdown
run, Hesse ended up with just
eight yards rushing on 11 car-
ries, while senior Travis Her-
man also totaled eight yards
on just two carries.
The brightest spot for the
Indian offense was its passing
game, where Hesse complet-
ed 15 of 25 attempts for 151
yards and that nal touch-
down. Ronan was his favorite
target with 70 yards on four
receptions, with junior Wyatt
Wille hauling in two passes
for 28 yards.
In spite of relentless pres-
sure from South Winn, we
completed 15 of 25 passes,
spreading the ball to seven
different receivers, Coach
Beermann said. This should
encourage good route run-
ning, because if you are open,
you will get the ball. Also,
our line received a clinic on
physical line play. If we take
that lesson and use it, we can
make a positive out of this.
Indian defense was led by
Benzings total of nine tack-
les, with Lyons, Wille and ju-
nior Colin Steiber each add-
ing eight stops. Senior Jamie
Byrnes tallied a team-high
four solo tackles, including
the only quarterback sack
for the Indians in the contest.
Ronans inteception and Ben-
zings fumble recovery were
the lone turnovers recorded
by the Indian defense.
The Indians are next slat-
ed to renew a gridiron rivalry
absent for several seasons at
the home of fellow Northeast
Iowa Conference school Dec-
orah this Friday, September 5.
The Class 3A Vikings come
off a 14-0 loss to Class 2A
top-ve rated North Fayette
Valley in their season opener
this past Friday, August 29.
The Hawks dealt with De
Soto quite handily by scores
of 25-15, 25-13 and 25-22
but got a much tougher bat-
tled from Seneca before edg-
ing out a ve-set victory with
scores of 12-25, 25-14, 25-
15, 23-25 and 16-14.
These rst two wins
are very important for this
team, Kee volleyball coach
Rich Ellis said. The big win
against Seneca helps us pre-
pare for any adversity and
close matches down the road.
It will be very interesting to
see where we go from here. I
am very optimistic about how
this team will move forward
and continue to improve.
The Hawks had little trou-
ble with De Soto in pulling
off the three-set sweep of the
Pirates, 25-15, 25-13 and 25-
22. Kee hammered out nearly
half of its total points in the
match at the net, racking up
36 kills in the contest.
Senior Val Meyer paced
that Hawk hitting parade with
a very efcient 13 kills in 21
attacks, with junior Mikayla
Gavin adding eight winners,
and freshman Kendra Cooper
and seniors Sadie Hill and
Molly Walleser each swat-
ting four kills. The junior
tandem of setter Ellie Cooper
and libero Lilly Winters led
their respective specialties
with 16 assists and 12 digs,
respectively, with Winters,
Meyer, Kendra Cooper and
sophomore Courtney Cooper
all serving up one ace, Mey-
er ring away for a 16-for-17
service effort and Winters
making good on 15 of 17
serve tries.
Kees match with Sene-
ca proved to be much more
thrilling, as the Hawks and
Indians battled back and forth
through a complete, ve-set
marathon that even went to
extra points in the nal set
to determine a winner. After
opening the match with a 12-
25 loss, the Hawks bounced
back signicantly with back-
to-back triumphs of 25-14
and 25-15. Seneca knotted
the set tally up by pulling
out a 23-25 nail-biter in the
fourth set, but the Hawks bat-
tled back once again to return
that favor with a little extra
effort, ghting back from a
7-2 decit to seal the match

Waukon girls cross country
team returns six letterwinners
for rst-year coach Brett Egan
As if returning six varsity
letterwinners, including ve
of last seasons top seven run-
ners, would not be enough
cause for optimism for the
2014 Waukon girls cross
country team, add in the fact
that they get to draw from the
experience of one of Waukon
High Schools most decorat-
ed distance runners to further
that optimism.
Brett Egan, a 2009 Wau-
kon High School graduate
and school record holder for
Waukon boys cross coun-
trys 5K distance, as well
as Waukon boys track and
elds 3200 meter and 1600
meter distances, will begin
his rst season at the helm of
the Waukon girls cross coun-
try program. Egans distance
running experience includes
being a 1600 meter high
school state champion and
3200 meter state runner-up in
his senior season, as well as
being a Northeast Iowa Con-
ference and District Cham-
pion in cross country before
placing fourth at the State
Meet his senior season.
Egan then furthered his
decorated distance running
career by competing at the
University of Northern Iowa
in both cross country and
track and eld, where he
earned All-Conference and
All-District accolades as well
at that next level of competi-
tion. My biggest asset that I
bring to this coaching expe-
rience is my involvement in
competitive running for over
ten years, Coach Egan said.
The rst-year coach hopes
to translate what he learned
and accomplished as a dis-
tance runner into a program
for success for the rst varsity
athletes he has ever coached
in that same capacity. In an
era of instant gratication,
my approach is to instill in
the team that their goals can
be achieved, but it will take a
tremendous amount of dedi-
cation and effort, Egan said.
My philosophy towards
training is that each practice
has a specic purpose to-
wards the girls reaching their
goals. Whether it is an easy
run or a tough workout, the
girls need to understand how
the training is working.
Beneting from Egans
vast array of distance running
success will be a group of 10
young ladies from the fresh-
man through senior ranks,
with the aforementioned six
returning veterans looking
to headline that crew. Those
six returning letterwinners
include senior Melissa Ham-
mel, juniors Alex Marti and
Leah Riese, and sophomores
Grace Blocker, Katelynn
Grifth and Liz Waters.
I look to the experienced
girls to help lead practice and
set a positive tone for practice
for the freshmen and even
junior high runners, Coach
Egan explained. The culture
of the program centers on the
leadership, and the returning
letter winners are our pro-
grams leaders.
Junior Emily Hammel also
returns as a varsity letterwin-
ner from two seasons ago as
a freshman. The freshman
trio of Laurel Keenan, Gabby
Marti and Dani Stock round
out this seasons small and
overall young squad.
One aspect that separates
running from other sports is
that there can be vocal lead-
ers and those who lead by
example, Coach Egan rea-
soned. I am looking for girls
who are willing to step out of
their comfort zone as the sea-
son progresses to see where
their legs and determination
can take them. If I can get a
few girls to take a lead on the
course, it will set a strong ex-
ample for the other runners.
The six veteran return-
ees include ve runners who
paced the Indians to a fth-
place nish at last years
Northeast Iowa Conference
Meet and ninth place at the
Tribes Class 2A State Qual-
ifying Meet. Those ve re-
turning late-season contrib-
utors leave two open spots
remaining to be lled within
this years varsity top-seven.
We need to nd two girls
who can ll in at the varsity
level, Coach Egan said. In
addition, Grace Blocker is
currently recovering from a
hamstring injury. Hopefully,
she will be back in top form
by conference. I am looking
to the new group of freshmen
to ll in some roles at the var-
sity level.
Although this years squad
of just 10 high school compet-
itors is not an ideal situation,
Coach Egan says the philos-
ophy of bigger is better
doesnt necessarily always
apply. I can say having more
girls on the team would be a
benet, but I am focused on
developing the girls who have
made the commitment to the
program, he said. The pro-
gram can only make progress
with athletes who can work
as a team. The biggest posi-
tive is that I can see both the
commitment and teamwork
in these girls that will move
the program in a positive di-
rection this season.
This years small col-
lection of participants also
makes staying healthy a top
priority for the Indians. With
a small roster and some var-
sity positions to ll, a major
key to having success during
the season is avoiding in-
juries, Coach Egan stated.
Our team will not be able
to sub in another runner at a
conference or district meet
later this fall.
Coach Egan has already
noted a handful of early-sea-
son bright spots, as Riese has
already assume the front-run-
ning role she played for the
Indians last season, narrow-
ly missing All-Conference
honors by just a single place
and State Meet qualica-
tion by just a handful more.
Based on a few practices,
I have been extremely im-
pressed with the work ethic
of Leah Riese, the rst-year
head coach said. She is an
extremely hard-working in-
dividual and I am looking
for steady improvement from
her as the season progresses.
Alex Marti, who started as a
manager last season, looks
to build from a great sum-
mer of running to help lead
our team. Her sister, Gabby,
a freshman, is a new addition
to the team and she could nd
herself battling for a varsity
position. Those three could
become strong leaders for our
team.
Much like the foundation
of success that Egan built as
a runner himself, therein lies
his philosophy on team goals
and what will determine a
successful season for the
charges under his direction. I
want the girls to have a posi-
tive experience through their
participation in cross coun-
try, he said. If each girl sees
improvement in times over
the course of the year, I can
ask for nothing more for the
outcome of the season. The
team success will come after
the girls start to see the work
they are putting in at practice
pay off in meets. Each girls
improvement helps dene the
level of success of our pro-
gram, from our number-one
runner to the seventh grade
level.
Although Egan will be en-
tering his rst season at the
helm, he will still be able to
borrow from the past coach-
ing experience of former
coach Mike Shupe. Shupe
will serve as a volunteer as-
sistant coach this season, hav-
ing coached the Waukon girls
program for four seasons,
beginning in 2008. I am
grateful for his guidance and
mentoring he has provided,
Coach Egan said.
Even though Egan is only
in his rst season at the Wau-
kon helm, he is already privy
to the perennial performance
of neighboring Decorahs
cross country program, list-
ing them as this seasons
odds-on favorite within the
Northeast Iowa Conference.
Decorah is the returning
state champ and has built a
strong tradition of success,
Egan said. Charles City will
also have a quality team after
a second-place nish at Con-
ference last year.
Egan is also aware that as
a new coach coming into a
large group of competitors
with previous experience he
will have some work to do
not only training his team in
just the physical aspects of
distance running, but also in
the mental approach. Thus far
in the seasons early going, he
is pleased to see the response
to his training methods.
Through the beginning
of the season, I have been
pleasantly surprised with the
girls willingness to buy into
the new training program, he
said. I am asking a lot from
the girls in respect to asking
them to trust a new coach and
training program. I am excit-
ed with their progress so far,
but more enthusiastic for the
improvement to come.
That quest for improve-
ment was scheduled to get
underway for the Indians
at the Oelwein Invitational
Tuesday, September 2. The
Tribe will then prepare for the
Tuesday, September 9 Waver-
ly-Shell Rock Invitational.
Waukon boys cross country will feature
seven returning letterwinners for 2014
The 2014 Waukon boys
cross country campaign is
not likely to have a much
different look to it at the be-
ginning of this season than
it did at the very end of last
season. That prospect stems
from the fact that all seven
of the Indians competitors
in last falls season-ending
Class 2A State Qualifying
Meet return with varsity let-
terwinning experience for the
Indians this season.
Shining even brighter be-
yond this season, however, is
the fact that none of this sea-
sons returning letterwinners
will even be seniors yet this
season. Two-time letterwin-
ners Brock Berns, Isaac Fink
and Tanner Manning, along
with rst-year letterwinner
T.J. Treptau, are all juniors
for the Indians this season,
while Austin Day, Hunter
Jensen and Tyler ONeill are
all sophomores who earned
their rst varsity letters last
season, a majority of those
veteran returnees helping the
Tribe to a fth-place North-
east Iowa Conference Meet
nish and seventh place at
its Class 2A State Qualifying
Meet last fall.
I look for these guys to
be our leaders helping us to
pick up where we left off last
fall, said fourth-year Wau-
kon boys cross country coach
Tara Stein. They all have
had the opportunity to gain
valuable experience running
at the varsity level over the
last year or two.
This seasons roster of 13
boys contains just one senior
in rst-year competitor Gun-
nar Grangaard. We will look
to newcomer, senior Gunnar
Grangaard, to provide us
with some senior leader-
ship, Coach Stein shared.
Coach Stein lists the re-
turn of a full scoring team
with varsity experience as
one of this seasons denite
strengths. The idea of that
varsity experience coming
so early in their high school
careers (as freshmen for six
of this years seven return-
ing veterans) solidies that
strength even more.
That returning nucleus,
however, will need to con-
tinue to work together and
improve not only as individ-
uals but also an entire group,
much like it did as last season
progressed. We will be as
strong as our pack is, we need
to continue to work as a team
to move our pack up, Coach
Stein said, noting that pack
running and staying healthy
will be keys to this seasons
success.
Improvement seems to be
the underlying foundation to
all of this seasons goals, as
noted by Coach Stein. She
lists improvements in times
and being more competitive
as a team as primary goals
that will, in turn, help achieve
the more specic goals of
improving the teams nal
placings at both the North-
east Iowa Conference and
State Qualifying meets. All
of those goals combined will
also go a long way toward
achieving the ultimate goal of
this years team, and of most
all teams - qualifying for the
State Meet in Fort Dodge.
Coach Stein sees both
Decorah and Charles City as
frontrunners in the confer-
ence again this year. Those
two teams have slugged it out
over the past couple years for
supremacy.
The Indians were sched-
uled to get a taste of what the

in store for them when they

Waukon volleyball team begins
season winning four of six matches
at Mabel-Canton Tournament
Kee football team opens season with
40-34 home triumph over Riceville
The Waukon volleyball
team opened its season by
winning four of six matches
at the Mabel-Canton Tour-
nament held in Minnesota
Saturday, August 30. That
4-2 record in the Tribes pool
play matches would have ad-
vanced the Indians into a nal
bracket-round match to play
for third place at the tourna-
ment, but Iowa high school
rules limit the Indians to
playing just six matches in a
single day.
The Kee football team
looked to be opening its 2014
season with an easy victory,
as it rolled to a 40-0 head-
start through three full quar-
ters at home Friday, August
29 against Riceville. But the
Hawks learned how quickly
momentum can change, as a
little Kee misfortune and re-
newed Wildcat effort allowed
the visitors to rattle off 34 un-
answered points in the fourth
quarter to give the Hawks a
late scare before they secured
the 40-34 victory.
We played great foot-
ball for three quarters, but
some mistakes and injuries
took their toll as we moved
into the fourth quarter, Kee
football coach Chad Winters
said. We ultimately ended
up having to play some real
young guys as we lost quite a
few starters to injury and heat
issues. It was a learning ex-
srud recording seven digs.
The three Indian match
sweeps in two sets each all
came within margins of sev-
en points. Those triumphs
included wins of 25-23 and
25-21 against Grand Mead-
ow, 25-19 and 25-18 against
Winona Cotter, and 25-18
and 25-22 over Spring Grove.
Against Grand Meadow,
Schwartz posted team highs
of nine kills, 12 assists and
three aces in converting all
19 of her serve efforts, with
Wasson knocking down six
winners and Kolsrud crush-
ing ve kills while also serv-
ing up an ace in 10 perfect
serve tries and joining Meyer
in each tallying a team-high
nine digs. Sivesind racked up
nine digs and Wasson posted
the only Indian block, with
Swartz recording a service
ace in a six-for-six effort.
Kerndt, Meyer and Wasson
were also perfect in ve, ve
and four service tries as well,
as the Indians were awless
in all 49 of their serve at-
tempts in the match.
Schwartz led the Indian of-
fense against Winona Cotter
with eight kills, with Wasson
knocking down six winners
and Welch netting four kills.
Meyer served up a team-high
three aces with perfection in
all 19 of her serve attempts,
with Kolsrud and Swartz also
each serving up a pair of aces
and Wasson posting another
ace in converting all ve of
her serves. Kolsrud also tal-
lied a team-high nine digs,
with Sivesind recording a
team-high seven assists and
Snitker netting four helps.
Wasson also halted a team-
high two solo blocks, with
Welch and Schwartz each
posting a solo denial as well.
Welch and Wasson each
swung away for a team-high
six kills in the win over Spring
Grove, with Schwartz also
knocking down four winners
and serving up a team-high
four aces in converting 12 of
her 14 serves. Kerndt, Kol-
srud, Swartz and Wasson also
each served up an ace, Kerndt
and Swartz doing so on nine
awless serve attempts each.
Meyer dug up a team-high
eight saves, with Sivesind
posting a team-leading sev-
en assists and senior Kelsey
Cota, Welch and Wasson each
recording a solo block.
The Indians were sched-
uled to play at Postville
Tuesday, September 2 and
will then have back-to-back
matches to begin next week,
Monday, September 8 at
MFL/MarMac and Tuesday,
September 9 at home against
Decorah.
perience late in the game for
some of the young guys, but
it was great to see them step
up and give it their best shot.
Kee dominated the game
for its rst three quarters,
scoring on its rst three pos-
sessions and forcing Ricev-
ille into three consecutive
three-and-out possessions to
bolt to a 20-0 headstart. Se-
nior runningback Marquise
Phillips wasted little time in
helping establish the Hawks
when he took the second play
from scrimmage 54 yards for
a quick, 6-0 Kee advantage
after the two-point conver-
sion pass failed.
Kee also marched 54 yards
to paydirt on its second pos-
session, senior quarterback
Dylon Peterson completing
a 26-yard pass to sophomore
Clay Olson to keep the drive
alive before plunging in from
a yard out for a 12-0 Kee lead
following another two-point
conversion miss. Peterson
also topped off Kees third
consecutive scoring posses-
sion with another one-yard
burst, this time running the
two-point conversion in him-
self as well to push the Hawks
to a 20-0 scoreboard margin.
Each team was forced into
differing results on their next
possessions, as Kee was de-
nied a fourth straight scoring
drive and had to punt, but
soon got the ball back when
Peterson picked off a Ricev-
ille pass. The Hawks then
renewed their scoring efforts
seven plays later when Ol-
son broke free for a 16-yard
touchdown scamper and 26-0
Kee advantage after a failed
two-point run try.
Riceville also returned to
form with a fourth three-and-
out series of the rst half,
setting up a six-play Hawk
scoring series capped off by
a 33-yard touchdown pass
from Peterson to sophomore
Casey Carroll that pushed
Kees advantage to 32-0 prior
to the halftime break. Ricev-
ille pulled off a fake punt on
its next series for its only rst
down of the rst half, but lat-
er turned the ball back over
to the Hawks on downs. Kee
was forced into its rst three-
and-out possession, but also
stied Ricevilles nal hopes
before halftime when Phillips
latched on to another Wildcat
pass to snuff out that drive
and keep Kees 32-0 score-
board margin intact at the
halftime break.
Riceville looked to have
renewed momentum as the
second half opened, making
their way down the eld to set
up a rst-and-goal situation
on their opening drive. But
a holding penalty negated an
initial touchdown effort and
Peterson nally shut down
the Riceville uprising when
he grabbed his second inter-
ception of the contest.
Kee made one nal scor-
ing splash as the third quarter
unfolded, marching 47 yards
to paydirt on six plays. A 27-
yard pass completion from
Peterson to Phillips set up
Olson for the nal ve-yard
scoring rush, with Peterson

tacking on the two-point con-
version run for a seemingly
insurmountable 40-0 Kee
lead late in the third frame.
Ricevilles second half re-
surgence got some help from
some injuries and heat issues
that claimed some Kee play-
ers. That combination nally
allowed the Wildcats to nd
the end zone on the rst play
of the fourth quarter, begin-
ning a streak of ve consecu-
tive Riceville scoring strikes.
Kees late-game misfor-
tunes continued, as two se-
ries that resulted in punts
book-ended a pair of fumbles,
each of those denied Hawk
efforts resulting in a Wildcat
scoring series that trimmed
Kees lead to just 40-34. The
most fortunate efforts within
those nal Hawk series was
the recovery of three consec-
utive Riceville on-side kick
attempts, the nal of those
allowing Kee to simply take a
knee and run off the games
nal 10 seconds to secure the
40-34 Hawk victory.
Our team understands
that when we win the war in
the trenches it usually results
in a win, Coach Winters
said of his teams victory.
I thought our line play was
great during the course of the
game, allowing us to rush for
almost 300 yards and giving
Dylon plenty of time to throw
the ball. They were just as
vital on the other side of the
ball helping to hold Riceville
to one rst down in the rst
half, on that fake punt, and
pitching a shut-out into the
fourth quarter.
Phillips led Kees offense
with 110 yards and one touch-
down on 13 carries, as well as
91 more yards on four pass re-
ceptions. He also paced Kees
defense with 23 total tackles
that included a team-high 11
solo stops, as well as an in-
terception. Marquise had an
outstanding game, as he accu-
mulated over 200 yards from
scrimmage and was all over
the eld, defensively, Coach
Winters said.
Olson also aided Kees of-
fensive effort with 102 yards
and two touchdowns on 16
carries, with Peterson add-
ing another 48 yards and two
scoring jaunts on 16 carries.
Peterson also converted ve
of eight pass attempts for 124
yards, including that 33-yard
scoring strike to Carroll.
Kee will hit the road this
week to wrap up its non-dis-
trict schedule at Rockford
Friday, September 5. Coach
Winters said most of his play-
ers who were victims of inju-
ry or heat in this past Fridays
contest should be available to
play against Rockford, a team
that comes off a 54-12 loss
at the home of Eight-Player
newcomer Turkey Valley this
past Friday, August 29.

I was very happy with
how our team performed for
this being our rst matches
of the season, Waukon vol-
leyball coach Peyton Lapel
said. Everyone played very
aggressively and kept good
attitudes despite the heat and
multiple games in a row. We
are looking forward to Tues-
day against Postville and for
what the season may bring.
Within their pool play
matches, the Indians only
match losses came to the
two teams that would even-
tually play for the tourna-
ment title. The Tribe netters
fell in straight sets to even-
tual tournament runner-up
Rushford-Peterson, 18-25
and 19-25, and undefeated
tournament champion Ma-
bel-Canton, 9-25 and 17-25.
Senior Allie Schwartz led

Char Hill wins rst week of Halfback Harry
The rst week of The Stan-
dards Halfback Harry con-
test resulted in a large num-
ber of entries vying for the
nal top spot. A total of six
entries this week missed just
three games, forcing usage
of the total winning points
tie-breaker.
Char Hill of Harpers Fer-
ry, Sam Hill of Harpers Ferry,
Ron Brandt of Waukon, Paul
Norton of Waukon, Jeremy
Hogan of Waukon and Paul
Valley of Rochester, MN
each missed just three games
this week to all be in conten-
tion for this weeks top prize.
With this weeks 17 winning
teams racking up 579 points,
Char Hill was nearly per-
fect in guessing this weeks
tie-breaker at 578 points to
claim this weeks top prize.
Sam Hills 568 points was
next in line, with Brandt and
Valley not being all that far
off as well with their guesses
of 540 points and 625 points,
respectively. Hogan and Nor-
ton were just a bit further off
that tie-breaking pace with
their guesses of 466 points
and 693 points, respectively.
Even though all but just
three entries picked Iowa to
defeat UNI in this weeks
featured Game of the Week
contest, Vicente Quiroz of
Waukon and Jan Kreitzer of
Cresco were the only two en-
tries this week to pick Iowa
to score 31 points in that win,
31-23, to earn Game of the
Week honors. Using the to-
tal combined offensive yards
tie-breaker, which ended up
at 806 total yards between
Iowa and UNI, Kreitzers
guess of 697 yards was clos-
est to that actual total than
the 528 total yards selected
by Quiroz.

Blood drive to be held
in Waukon September 4
The next local LifeServe
Blood Center blood drive
will take place Thursday,
September 4 from 12 noon
to 5:30 p.m. at First Baptist
Church in Waukon.
Blood drives are always
held the rst Thursday of
every month in Waukon.
The LifeServe Blood Center
supplies Veterans Memorial
Hospital with its blood and
blood products.
Here are some interesting
blood facts about blood dona-
tion:
Every three seconds
someone needs blood.
Blood makes up about
eight percent of a persons
body weight.
Blood is needed every
minute of every day; summer,
winter, spring and fall.
Scheduled surgeries are
not cancelled in Iowa be-
cause of a lack of blood, but
it is a problem in other parts
of the nation.
Donating blood includes
a health check for the donor
(checking blood pressure,
pulse, temperature and he-
moglobin) prior to donating.
There is absolutely no
way to contract any disease
from giving blood.
Blood can be split into
different components (red
cells, platelets, plasma, and
cryoprecipitate) and used to
help different types of pa-
tients.
Regular blood donors
may donate blood as often
as every 56 days. First-time
donors will nd that donat-
ing blood is a safe and easy
way to save lives and make a
difference in the community.
A single blood donation can
save the lives of up to three
sick or injured hospital pa-
tients.
The donation process is
simple:
1. Eat a healthy meal and
drink plenty of uids within
four hours prior to donating.
2. Bring proper identica-
tion, such as a donor card or a
drivers license.
3. Complete a health histo-
ry questionnaire and screen-
ing interview.
4. Receive a brief health
check by trained staff. This
includes a check of blood
pressure, pulse, temperature
and blood iron levels.
5. Sit back while a unit
of blood, approximately one
pint, is collected. This pro-
cess takes around 10 minutes.
6. Enjoy refreshments
while relaxing for 10-15 min-
utes before leaving the facil-
ity.
The blood that is collected
is tested carefully. In fact,
all blood that is collected by
any blood collection center
is tested according to federal
regulations.
Appointments are encour-
aged and walk-ins can only
be accepted as the schedule
permits. To schedule an ap-
pointment, call the LifeServe
Blood Center at 800-287-
4903.

Make the Right Choice
I knew when it came time to
shop for an engagement ring for
Megan that I wanted to nd a
good quality ring. Elliotts
had a great selection of
rings to choose from
as well as helpful
salespeople to nd the
right kind of diamond.
To start, I had no idea
there were so many
different aspects to the
quality of diamonds,
such as cut, clarity and
the like, but we asked
the right questions and the
sales person gave us very
helpful information to make the
right choice. Megan and I enjoyed
talking with Dick Elliott while we
were shopping - he has had many years of
experience and many interesting stories to
tell. We were also very pleased to hear all of
the things that Elliotts has to offer in their
store such as cleanings, sizing for most ring types, engraving and jewelry repairs.
We look forward to going to Elliotts for our future purchases. They have a great
selection of other nice things and the store has a great home town feeling.

We are told in a variety of ways to seize the day: Carpe Diem; eat, drink and be merry; and in short, enjoy life while you can, for tomorrow we may die. But, more likely we will not
die tomorrow and so there is something to be said for delaying gratication and planning for the future. All of this talk of seizing the day, when taken even half seriously, is often just a
way to rationalize not planning and preparing for the future. This doesnt mean we have to be overly anxious about the future, but it does mean that we should plan prudently for a long
and healthy life. Two good ways to do this are education and saving. Aristotle claimed that education is the best provision for old age, presumably because it cultivates the mind and
allows one to reect on the most important things, i.e., the divine things and how to live a virtuous life. And of course we should be saving for that proverbial rainy day, for assuredly,
for most of us at least, tomorrow will come, and the day after tomorrow as well. He who does not plan for the future is ensuring that it will be a meager one.
Christopher Simon The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 2 Corinthians 9:6

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 expired Sep-
tember 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 ve-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.
Verication of the production
records will be required.
Sign-up will be September
2, 2014 through November
28, 2014.
FSA Ofce is in the progress
of sending dairy producers
letters in regards to this new
program. New dairy produc-
ers may contact the Allama-
kee County FSA Ofce at
563-568-2148.
NOTE: ISU Extension
with be holding a meeting on
the Margin Protection Pro-
gram Thursday, September
18 at Farmers Merchants and
Saving Bank in Waukon from
10-11:30 am. Producers will
need to register at the Allama-

No registration fee will be
charged.

NAP Coverage Available for
2015 Crops for Livestock
Feed Intended for Grazing
It is important that pro-
ducers note that NAP cover-
age WILL be available for
annually planted crops for
livestock feed intended for
grazing because RMA is not
offering CAT level coverage
under the Rainfall Index-An-
nual Forage Insurance Plan.
The NAP sales closing date
for this insurance is Septem-
ber 1st for crops planted in
the fall and December 1st or
March 15th (depending on
the crop) for crops planted in
the spring.
Please contact The Alla-
makee County FSA ofce for
questions concerning NAP or
your crop insurance agent for
questions concerning RMA
crop insurance. A list of
agents can be found at www.
rma.usda.gov/.
2014 MAL and LDP Requests
The USDA Farm Service
Agency (FSA) is accepting
requests for marketing assis-
tance loans (MALs) and loan
deciency payments (LDPs)
for eligible 2014 commodi-
ties.
MALs and LDPs for the
2014 crop year become avail-
able to eligible producers be-
ginning with harvest/shearing
season and extending through
a specic commoditys nal
loan availability date. Sugar
commodity loans for the
2014 crop will be available
to sugar processors beginning
October 1, 2014.
MALs and LDPs provide
nancing and marketing as-
sistance for wheat, feed
grains, soybeans, and other
oilseeds, pulse crops, rice,
peanuts, cotton, wool, mohair
and honey. MALs provide
producers interim nancing
after harvest to help them
meet cash ow needs with-
out having to sell their com-
modities when market prices
are typically at harvest-time
lows. A producer who is
eligible to obtain a loan, but
agrees to forgo the loan, may
obtain an LDP if such a pay-
ment is available. Marketing
loan provisions and LDPs are
not available for sugar and
extra-long staple cotton.
The 2014 Farm Bill also
establishes payment limita-
tions per individual or entity
not to exceed $125,000 annu-
ally on certain commodities
for the following program
benets: price loss coverage
payments, agriculture risk
coverage payments, market-
ing loan gains (MLGs) and
LDPs. These payment limi-
tations do not apply to MAL
loan disbursements.
Adjusted Gross Income
(AGI) provisions were modi-
ed by the 2014 Farm Bill,
which states that a producer
whose total applicable three-
year average AGI exceeds
$900,000 is not eligible to re-
ceive an MLG or LDP.
National and county loans
rates for 2014 crops are post-
ed on the FSA website at:
www.fsa.usda.gov/pricesup-
port.

Save Time Make an
Appointment With FSA
As we roll out the Farm
Bill programs administered
by FSA, there will be related
sign-ups and in some cases
multiple management deci-
sions that need to be made
by you, the producer, in con-
sult with FSA staff. To insure
maximum use of your time
and to insure that you are
afforded our full attention
to your important business
needs, please call our ofce
ahead of your visit to set an
appointment and to discuss
any records or documenta-
tion that you may need to
have with you when you ar-
rive for your appointment.
The Allamakee County FSA
Ofce will still service the
producers who walk in. With
all of the new programs and
the new regulations appoint-
ments would be appreciated
so ofce staff can gather all
folders and forms to be ready
to service you, the producer,
in a timely manner. Thank
you in advance on the ap-
pointment system.
The following programs
will be on an appointment
system:
Continuous CRP pro-
gram - last day is September
30, 2014 with all paperwork
completed and approved.

For those who own land
that has expiring CRP, it is
suggested that they update
their NRCS Conservation
Plan. Those landowners are
asked to contact the NRCS
ofce to discuss their planned
crop rotation and tillage. The
NRCS can then check the
soils and slopes on the farm
to ensure the desired rotation
and tillage will meet compli-
ance requirements.
Landowners who plan to
rent out their land are encour-
aged to attach their revised
conservation plan to their
farm lease. The NRCS staff is
available to meet with land-
owners and their tenants to
Update Conservation Plans
for land coming out of CRP
discuss conservation options
for their land. Keep in mind
that the soil and nutrients
have stayed on the land while
it has been in CRP. Landown-
ers should be sure that they
continue to protect the soil by
implementing the best rota-
tion, tillage and conservation
practices.
Staff can meet with land-
owners on-site to walk/drive
their farm or a meeting can be
arranged in the ofce. Those
who have questions or who
would like to participate in
this project are asked to stop
by the ofce or contact proj-
ect coordinator Sara Berges
at 563-568-2246, ext. 3.
Field day to focus on soil improvement September 11
A free eld day organized
by the Midwest Organic and
Sustainable Education Ser-
vice (MOSES) will show
farmers a unique method for
building productive soil in a
no-till organic system. The
eld day will be Thursday,
September 11 from 1 to 4
p.m. at Wilson Organic Farms
in Cuba City, WI.
Cover crops, always a
mainstay in organic farming,
are gaining wider popular-
ity as a way to improve soil
fertility. This eld day takes
cover cropping a step further,
demonstrating how to grow
soybeans in a no-till eld
following rye that has been
rolled to form a mulch. The
soybeans are drilled through
the rolled rye. This method
builds soil while allowing a
eld to be used to grow an-
other crop, including a va-
riety of vegetable and grain
crops.
Field day participants will
learn about the timing, seed-
ing and mulching methods
that make this method work.
Theyll also see another eld
where the host farmer, Keith
Wilson, is growing tillage
radish, and hear about the
benets of this cover crop. In
addition, Grant County Natu-
ral Resources Conservation
Service will dig a soil pit and
explain the farms deep soil
prole.
To register or get directions
for this eld day, see moses-
organic.org/events/organic-
eld-days or call 715-778-
5775. Advance registration
ensures that enough handouts
and refreshments can be pro-
vided, however, walk-in par-
ticipants are welcome. This
event is made possible by a
grant from the USDA RMA.
Field days are just one of
the many services MOSES
provides to farmers. Learn
more at mosesorganic.org.
Managing nutrients from
manure is becoming a high
priority among most live-
stock farmers for economic
and environmental reasons.
Dairy producers utilizing
sand bedding on their farms
have the opportunity to visit
two farms to examine their
nutrient management strate-
gies and methods to manage
sand.
Iowa State University Ex-
tension and Outreach and
University of Minnesota
Extension will jointly host
Field day focus on nutrient and sand laden management
a eld day tour in SE MN
Thursday, September 25 at
three farms in southeastern
Minnesota.
Discussions will focus

cluding various options and
methods to manage total farm
nutrient balance, manure
management, and nutrient
run-off. For those traveling
from Iowa, vans will be avail-
able and leaving the North-
east Iowa Dairy Foundation

ticipants can drive separately
The Agricultural Act of
2014 (2014 Farm Bill) has
authorized a one-time base
acreage reallocation and pro-
gram yield update. The Farm
Bill has also authorized new
farm programs including
Price Loss Coverage (PLC)
and Agricultural Risk Cov-
erage (ARC). PLC and ARC
crop programs provide price
and revenue, respectively,
payments to eligible produc-
ers for the 2014 through 2018
crop years.
The Farm Bill decision
process is a three-step pro-
cess:
1. Reallocation of base
acres and/or update of coun-
ter-cyclical yields (CC yield)
by FSA farm number.
2. Election (one-time) of
PLC or ARC program by
FSA farm number for the pe-
riod of the farm bill.
3. Enrollment (annual)
of the farm in the program
elected.
Summary Acreage History
Report
In early August 2014, the
USDA Farm Service Agency
(FSA) will mail all farm-
land owners and operators a
Summary Acreage History
Report by FSA farm num-
ber. This report will provide
the farm owners and opera-
tors with the base acres and
counter-cyclical yield (CC
yield) as of September 30,
2013. This report will also
identify the planted acres of
covered commodities report-
ed (for 2008 through 2012),
prevented planted acres, and
acres planted after failed or
prevented (subsequent acres).
These were reported to FSA
by the producer for all cov-
ered commodities planted on
the farm for each year 2008
through 2012. Also, in ap-
proved double crop counties,
both covered commodities
planted will be included.
Reallocation of Base Acres
Upon receipt of the Sum-
mary Acreage History Re-
port, farmland owners and
operators should thoroughly
review the acreage data by
farm for each crop and each
year outlined in the report.
If the acreage history is ac-
curate for the farm then no
further action is required by
the farmland owner or op-
erator at this time. However,
farmland owners and opera-
Farm Bill includes updates, new programs
tors who determine the Sum-
mary Acreage History Report
is incorrect or missing data
should contact their local
FSA county ofce to request
corrections to the acreage his-
tory report. Additional infor-
mation will be provided once
the reallocation software and
forms are available in FSA
county ofces which may
require farmland owners and
operators input or action.
Base acreage realloca-
tion allows the landowner/
producer to reallocate base
acres to covered commodities
based on historical plantings
from the current base acre al-
location. The historical plant-
ings are based on the years
of 2009 to 2012. Individuals
cannot increase the number
of base acres; they can only
reallocate the base acres. The
individual/s will have the op-
tion to keep the current base
acre allocation as of Septem-
ber 30, 2013 or reallocate the
base acres.
Update of CC Yield to
Program Yield
The historical CC Yield
will be provided in the let-
ter; the producer/landowner
will have the option to update
the program yield based on
a ve-year (2008-2012) his-
torical planted yield history.
The updated Program Yield
will be equivalent to 90%
of the simple average of the
planted yield from 2008 to
2012. A plug yield per year
of 75% of the county average
planted yield will be used for
farm planted yields below the
75% county average value.
FSA is projected to launch
its reallocation of bases/yield
updates software in the early
fall 2014. If the decision to

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

And then I wrote ...
by Dick Schilling, Editor Emeritus
PAGE 5B
The views expressed on this page are not necessarily views shared by this newspaper
During most of the
70s, Kathe Skinner, now
a 65-year-old licensed
marriage family therapist
in Colorado Springs, CO
couldnt gure out what
was wrong with her body.
It wasnt working right.
Her physical difculties
led to many hospital stays
and caused friction be-
tween her and her husband.
They eventually divorced.
Part of their relational dif-
culties had come about
due to her having bouts of
depression. She even spent
time in a psychiatric hos-
pital after doctors thought
her symptoms were all in
her head.
Finally, she lucked upon
a diagnosis. Skinner said,
One day, I was in a swim-
ming pool and the water felt
warm to my right leg and
cool to my left. I thought
that was weird and called
my neurologist, who even-
tually (with that and other
information) was able to
make the diagnosis.
She had multiple scle-
rosis (MS), a central ner-
vous system disease that
disrupts the communica-
tion between her brain and
other parts of her body.
In general, MS can cause
muscle weakness in the ex-
tremities, balance and co-
ordination problems, and,
sometimes, cognitive im-
pairments.
Today, Skinner has had
MS more than 40 years.
She said, My symptoms
have gotten worse, of
course. Right now, what is
very, very bothersome to
me is my balance is so off. I
fall a great deal. I just cant
wear shoes with heels.
She mentioned one
counseling session with a
brain injury client in which,
due to her MS balance
problems, she tripped in
her ofce and fell headrst
into the clients lap. They
both had a good laugh over
it. She said her clients have
been extremely accept-
ing overall of her physical
challenges.
In some ways, having
MS has beneted her coun-
seling work: For example,
I had a young male client
who (on his rst counsel-
ing visit) had a great deal
of anxiety, she said. I al-
ways disclose in writing to
new clients that I have MS.
When the client read about
it, he said, Sorry, I cant
work with someone who
is broken. I was stunned
and very hurt. I told him
to sleep on it and we could
talk about it next session.
He did come back and his
anxiety left after a couple
months. The last thing he
said to me was he was glad
wed worked together. He
said he realized (through
my MS) that he wasnt the
only one who was broken,
which was profound.

Word for
Word
Here it is al-
most September
with little sum-
mer heat as more
changes come.
Soon our trees will
boast gorgeous red
and gold autumn
leaves. Then in a
ash, our trees will
stand bare and na-
ked as we face our
rst frost.
So to live in
Iowa we know that
weather changes
are rapid and frequent - but
a variety of changes face us
all. We can unexpectedly lose
a loved one or our job disap-
pear and nothing new seems
available. Our children can
seem to grow up over night
and suddenly be gone off to
college or into a far away pro-
fession or even suddenly get
married!
Soon enough we greet
Thanksgiving and can hope
most of the family gathers.
Then comes Christmas. Will
we decorate our world? Will
we overspend for Christmas
presents? Will we be buried
in snow?
So, yes, changes come to
us today in the 21st century
but major changes also came
2,000 years ago in the rst
century as the Carpenters
Son from Nazareth was grow-
ing up in his humble village.
This very bright but humble
little boy part of a far from
wealthy family, appeared to
be like all the other kids in the
area, at least on the outside.
But changes
were coming.
Daddy Joseph
may not have ap-
proved of or even
understood that
the little boy, son
of the very young
Mary, would
change the world.
Who could
have imagined
young Jesus was
the long awaited
Messiah, soon to
change the world
of his own time and the world
we still have today 20 centu-
ries later?
Changes can be miraculous
and divine and even a mys-
tery. Changes come to use all.
How do we handle any of it
today? Death, the job market,
troubled kids, debt, serious
illness, on and on we go.
Joseph and Mary had a bit
of a struggle dealing with the
fact that their little guy, born
in a stable in Bethleham, to a
teenage mama, would be and
still is the Savior of the world.
So for us today many
changes and surprises can
come in all of our own fami-
lies. May we accept and ad-
just to whatever may touch us,
surprise, and even overwhelm
us; as did Joseph and Mary,
whose little newborn asleep
on that bed of hay in that
old barn would bring Gods
salvation to planet Earth and
change us all.
Rev. Laura Odegard, United
Methodist Minister, retired
... as if the inrmities of
old age were not enough of a
reminder, sometimes a head-
line will remind of the pas-
sage of time.
The headline called the
DC3 an historic airplane
when it was own into a re-
gional airport recently. Pause.
Open note to editor and
readers. I use an ahead of
words which have soft h
start, the way the British do,
rather than the prescribed a
Americans consider correct.
Okay, back to the airplane.
The fact that apparently the
DC3 is now considered in
the same category as the Ford
Trimotor in aviation lore
dates me because my rst
plane ride was in a DC3. In
the early fall of 1956 I board-
ed a DC3 at the La Crosse
airport for a ight to Chicago,
where I transferred to a larger
plane for a ight to Boston.
The Navy later gave me a ride
in a DC3 as well. It was (is)
a great airplane. Some were
used as gunships as late as the
Viet Nam war.
Speaking of headlines, to-
days papers and TV are full
of stories about the earth-
quake which struck the Napa
Valley in California. Thats
wine country. Fascinating to
see from a car, I found. Even
more so for those who actu-
ally stop and visit, Im sure.
There were no deaths, but
some injuries. Biggest loss
may have been wines stored
in barrels which ruptured
when tossed around. One
story said that a Chenille bed-
spread in a store window near
a winery was soaked and
dyed Merlot in color! Hmm!
Suppose one could wring
out the bedspread and ... no,
probably not. I can hear an
expert: This wine had great
body, and a taste of a mixture
of cinnamon, pear, cherry and
... bedspread?
Another headline said,
again, that it might be wise
not to require high school age
students to get up in time for
classes starting at 8 a.m. Be-
cause their lifestyle does
not allow enough time for
sleep. Arent all creatures
naturally regulated by a cir-
cadian rhythm? And before
radio and television, because
humans dont see well in the
dark, wasnt a humans natu-
ral instinct to arise when it
was light enough to see and
retire when it became too
dark to see? So the fault, dear
Brutus, lies not in the stars,
but in ourselves. Make em
go to bed earlier so they can
get up earlier!
Week after week, the na-
tional best seller lists of
books contain at or near the
top works by writers con-
sidered conservative. Bill
OReilly is always killing
somebody, and Glenn Beck
and Charles Krauthammer
have been there. This week,
books by conservatives
DSousa and Carson are one-
two. Hillary Clintons book
is sixth, but liberal authors
are rarely represented. Why
is that?
The funeral for that young
black man killed in Missouri
by a white police ofcer was
today. A family minister, who
knew the victim, was given
ten minutes for a eulogy. Rac-
ist Al Sharpton, who didnt,
was given 20 minutes.
Same question: Why was
that?
To The Editor:
We have probably all no-
ticed all of the political ads
showing up all over by signs
in yards, newspapers, radio
and television. It may be
overwhelming, but this is a
necessary part of our elective
system. We must use as much
of this information as possi-
ble to help us form an opinion
on who best qualies for the
ofce position in question.
We must make good use of
our right to vote in all elec-
tions, because, if we dont,
there may be a day when we
no longer have that right. And
besides, do we really want
people on the state and na-
tional level making decisions
for us when they dont have
the same values and/or beliefs
that we do?
So, listen, watch and even
take notes if necessary, then
when election time arrives,
we can feel condent that we
are voting for the best per-
son.

To the Editor:
I nd myself writing this
after the tragic loss of a Hol-
lywood icon. Its not an easy
subject to talk about, but its
one that just cannot be ig-
nored. Chances are, your life
has been affected by suicide.
You may have had a rela-
tive, a friend, co-worker, an
acquaintance, or spouse take
their life. Often times people
ask, Why? What could be
so bad that they would want
to end their life? How could
they be so selsh? It is ques-
tions like these that show just
how uneducated society is
about mental illness.
Depression is a mental ill-
ness - a disease of the brain.
There is a disconnect in a
persons brain that stops the
ow of serotonin, or the stuff
that makes us feel good.
What causes this discon-
nect? It could be genetic, en-
vironmental, or social. Some
people are genetically predis-
posed (genetic) to depression.
It runs in the family, so they
are susceptible to it. Some
may be exposed to toxins or
have a head injury (environ-
mental), causing one to suf-
fer from depression. Finally,
the social aspect: economic
hardships, bullying, neglect,
even the death of a loved one.
Regardless of the cause, those
suffering from depression are
at risk of death by suicide.
We as humans cannot con-
trol certain aspects of our
lives, this being one of them.
We cannot just tell ourselves
to feel better, and then expect
it to happen. That would be
equivalent to saying those
who have diabetes should tell
their bodies to make enough
insulin so they dont have to
take insulin shots anymore.
People with depression
cannot always control their
thoughts. They cannot help
how they feel. Eventually,
they get so tired of ghting
the battle, they end up losing
the war. They are in such a
dark place, they feel the only
way out is by ending their
life. This is where we, as a
society, need to step it up. We
need to educate. We need to
advocate. We need to prevent.
We need to support. A way to
start is by participating in an
Out of the Darkness walk this
fall, sponsored by the Ameri-
can Foundation for Suicide
Prevention. Help raise money
so we can raise awareness on
this taboo topic, and prevent
the suicide rate from increas-
ing year after year like it has
been.
My brother didnt choose
to be mentally ill. He was not
selsh for taking his life. He
was desperate for relief, like
so many others are day after
day. Be proactive and edu-
cate yourself to recognize the
signs of depression before its
too late. Please join me in the
ght.

Insurance Companies
Legally Rip-Off Iowa
Injured Workers By . . .

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay
you less that what you are owed and do
not have to tell you the truth. Many injured
workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill
of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56
per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical
Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your
other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off.
Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at
no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard
working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly
by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been

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

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

This is a wonderful opportunity for the counties and state to recognize and celebrate 4-H volunteers and staff who have shown outstanding service and dedication to Iowas 4-H program, said Chris Gleason, of ISU Exten- sion and Outreach 4-HYouth Development. Counties select inductees
for their exceptional work in contributing to the lives of 4-H members and the overall 4-H program. Many inductees served as club leaders, youth mentors, fair superintendents or fair board members, Iowa State Univer- sity Extension county council members, county youth council members, fair judges, nancial supporters, chaper- ones or ISU Extension staff members. The inductees have demonstrated dedication, encouragement, commitment and guidance to Iowas 4-Hers through the years. The 4-H spirit was alive and robust on Sunday!

purchased a new school bus

an International 48-passenger

the river.
During the extreme heat
wave of last week Lansing
people in goodly numbers
motored up Mount Hosmer
each evening and enjoyed the
cooling breeze on its summit

only drawback to their trip
was the pest of mosquitoes
which were bad on the hill as
well as elsewhere.
