Byrnes, Schellhammer elected to Board of


Supervisors; referendum for jail/public safety
center fails by less than one percentage point
A slight change in local
leadership but no change or at least not the proposed
change - in local facilities
is the message Allamakee
County voters sent when
they went to the polls for
the Tuesday, November 4
General Election. With just
under 53% of eligible voters
in the county casting a ballot, area voters newly elected
Dan Byrnes to the Allamakee
County Board of Supervisors
Tuesday and re-elected Larry
Schellhammer to the Board,
but came up just shy of approving the proposed bond
referendum for a new jail and
public safety center.
With overall election results reflecting residents of
Allamakee County voting
right along with the majority of their statewide and

PAMPER YOURSELF

districtwide counterparts in
Tuesday's election, those Allamakee County voters could
not come up with enough of a
majority amongst themselves
to pass the $4.9 million bond
referendum on the ballot that
would have put the wheels in
motion for construction of
a new jail and public safety
center within the county.
Requiring a super majority of 60% plus one vote in
order to pass, the referendum
narrowly failed in its ballot
debut, garnering just under
59.1% approval among Tuesday's voters. According to the
initial unofficial vote totals
following Tuesday's election,
the referendum, labeled as
"Public Measure G" on the
ballot, received overall approval by a 2,777-1,923 vote
margin, but those 2,777 "yes"

votes were just shy of the


necessary 60% super majority needed to pass the referendum, the measure needing either 44 "no" votes to, instead,
be "yes" or needing 109 more
"yes" votes without any further increase in the "no" votes
in order to pass.
Further information and
local reaction to the failed
referendum vote can be found
at right in the colored sidebar
accompanying this article.

In the only contested Allamakee County government
race on this year's ballot,
one of the two seats on the
Allamakee County Board of

Despite narrow defeat of bond


referendum, Allamakee County
Sheriff "encouraged" by 'yes' votes

Committee welcomes public to meet November 18


The $4.9 million bond referendum to construct a new Allamakee County Jail and Public Safety Center earned the support of the majority of Allamakee County voters Tuesday,
November 4, but fell just short of the 60% super majority required for passage. The ballot
measure earned the approval of 2,777 voters, while 1,923 opposed the measure and 642
voters made no selection either way.
"I was encouraged by the percentage of 'yes' votes," Allamakee County Sheriff Clark
Mellick said. "It shows that the public is interested in finding a resolution to the jail issues
we'll face in the near future."
Mellick said that he and the Public Safety Center Committee would continue to work
with the Board of Supervisors and the public to find a fiscally responsible solution. He said
that the Committee will meet Tuesday, November 18 at 6:30 p.m. in the Board Room on the
lower level of the Allamakee County Courthouse to discuss the recent vote and comments
from the public and try to determine what more could be done to better educate the public
about the need for the project. He added that all members of the public are welcomed and
encouraged to attend the meetings of the Public Safety Center Committee.
If the Committee determines that another bond referendum would be appropriate, a special election could be held as early as March of 2015. "This issue is time sensitive due to
the upcoming effective date of the federal law that will eventually force the closure of the
current jail," Mellick said. He explained that the construction of a new facility would take
approximately two years and that if the current jail is forced to close before the new facility
is ready, the County will incur additional expenses housing its prisoners elsewhere.
"We want to do this project right," Mellick said. "We have a good design and the Committee did a good job to get us to this point while keeping the best interest of the public in mind.
I want to thank everyone on the Committee and the local media for their excellent coverage
of this issue from the very beginning."

Large local turn-out shows interest in horror


movie to be filmed in Lansing next summer
by Susan Cantine-Maxson

Digging in to "The Burial" ...

A standing room only crowd of nearly 100 people attended the "meet and greet" session held Thursday, November
6 at Kerndt Brothers Community Center in Lansing to inform the general public on the horror movie, "The Burial,"
proposed for lming in the Lansing area next summer. Pictured above, Cedar Rapids native Tom Garland, who will
be playing one of the lead roles in the lm, addresses the capacity crowd. Submitted photo.

Nearly 100 people were in attendance at the Kerndt Brothers


Community Center in Lansing
Thursday, November 6 to learn
the details of a horror movie,
"The Burial," which is to be
filmed in Lansing next summer.
Tom Garland, a professional
comedian and actor from Cedar
Rapids who is slated to play one
of the lead roles in the film, welcomed the crowd and set a light,
entertaining tone for the informational meeting.
Garland will portray the local troublemaker in the movie.
He introduced Kristine Hrycun
and Jack Meggers, who are the
principal instigators of this project. Hrycun will take care of
production aspects of the movie
while Meggers is the writer and
director. Both have extensive
backgrounds in Los Angeles in
movie and television production.
The intention of these early informational meetings is to do a
lot of preliminary work in the

area to let people know what is


happening involving the production so no one is surprised when
it happens next summer. The
current phase of the production
is primarily publicity and fund
raising.
Meggers, who grew up in the
Mason City area, reflected on his
Lansing connections that drew
him to want to make a movie in
the area. As a boy, he spent many
summers and weekends enjoying
camping adventures in the area.
In addition, his father now lives
in Lansing. On one such trip
back to the area during college,
he was enjoying a peaceful moment at Effigy Mounds National
Monument when raucous music
and noise disrupted his reverie.
He looked over the cliff and below him were several teenagers
partying on speed boats in the
Mississippi River.
From this one incident, the
seed idea for the movie began.
He wanted to examine the conflicts that arise when cultures
clash, when the past and present

collide; when friends make decisions that take them down the
wrong path. He wanted to tell a
cautionary tale with a message
that would also educate people
about the significance of the sacred burial mounds in the area.
It wasnt until much later that
this idea became a horror story.
Both Meggers and Hrycun emphasize that this is not a horror
story in the style of the The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
It is a thriller with the goal of
building terror in the audience.
They both cited the movie The
Shining as being an example
of the type of film they hope to
make. Last years release entitled
Youre Next is similar to the
type of film they intend to make.
Hrycun and Meggers stressed
that they want to make a story-based, intelligent, horror
film. Youre Next was a low
budget independent film which
cost under $500,000 and grossed

Supervisors discuss NRCS conservation


plan with County Farm cropland bidders
by Bob Beach
The Allamakee County
Board
of
Supervisors
continued its discussion
Tuesday, November 4 about
changes to the lease agreement
for cropland at the County
Farm. Board Chairman Larry
Schellhammer
suggested
requiring a deposit of $2,500
per year over the three-year
lease term to give the County
the leverage needed to ensure
that the conservation plan to be
added to the lease agreement
will be followed. The Board
agreed to table making a
decision regarding the bids
received for the cropland
until the current bidders
could review the conservation
plan and modifications to the
lease agreement and given the

option to withdraw their bids.


The Board also held
further discussions about
the future of County Road
170, which passes through
a portion of Effigy Mounds
National
Monument.
Allamakee County Attorney
Jill Kistler told the Board
that while the platted location
of the road differs from the
currently traveled location
of the road, the County owns
the currently traveled road.
She added that the road is
designated as "Class C,"
which means that the County
is under no obligation to
maintain the road at all and
that if the County were to
vacate the road, the land
underneath the road would
revert to the current property
owners - namely the National

Park Service, Steve Nelson


and Alex Shaefers.
Nelson and Shaefers said
that they need the road to
remain open and passable in
order to access portions of
their property. Jim Nepstad
of the National Park Service
said that the Park Service is
bound by numerous federal
laws to ensure that the road
is where it legally belongs
and that any maintenance
on the road does not disturb
the surrounding land, which
contains
protected
and
endangered species as well as
ancient burial grounds within
Effigy Mounds National
Monument. The Board agreed
to meet with the Park Service
and the landowners Monday,
November 10 to inspect the
road personally.

REAP funding vital to the success of the


Coldwater/Pine Creek water quality project
According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Coldwater/Pine
Creek Water Quality Project
serves as a shining example
of how a quality trout stream
can respond to the enhancement of the upstream drainage with best management
practices (BMPs) supported
by REAP funding and local
agricultural producers. Voted
Iowas Outstanding Watershed in 2014, the Winneshiek County watershed project
illustrates how responsible
land management practices
can benefit everyone.
When settlers in the late
19th century built farmsteads
in the Decorah area, limited
technology urged them to
choose sites in sheltered valleys, near waterways. Over
time, the abundance of agricultural fields and livestock
feedlots directly adjacent to
streams caused excessive
bacteria, nutrient and sediment levels that degraded the
streams water quality.
Coldwater Cave, part of an
underground network of rivers and springs, allows interconnectivity of ground water
between Coldwater and Pine
creeks watersheds, which
were considered as one for
the project. Coldwater and
Pine creeks share a 40,000acre watershed and are major
tributaries to the Upper Iowa
River, which serves as one of
Iowas premier recreational
waterways and trout fisheries.
Initiated in 2006, a variety
of techniques were implemented in the Coldwater/Pine
Creek Water Quality Project
to reduce bacteria, nutrient
and sediment influxes. Terraces, sediment basins, grass
waterways, animal waste
storage systems, grade sta-

bilization structures, nutrient


management plans, heavyuse area protection, livestock
exclusion, alternative watering sources, cover crops, filter
strips, diversions, prescribed
grazing incentives and pasture/hay-land planting were
promoted and successfully
implemented as best management practices.
An advisory board, made
up of trusted local producers,
Soil and Water Conservation
District representatives, USDA-NRCS and the area DNR
fisheries biologist, acted as a
liaison to skeptical farmers.
The approach was a huge success; some of the most initially critical voices became the
projects biggest advocates.
Once locals saw practices
put on the ground, 49 different producers implemented
best management practices,
achieving a total reduction of
6,223 tons-per-year of sediment from reaching priority
streams - the equivalent of
415 dump truck loads.
When you have that many
producers buy into it, you can
see the grassroots support because initial skepticism to the
need and success of BMPs
are replaced with adoption
and continued utilization of
stewardship practices that
are effective and yet producer friendly, said Winneshiek
Soil and Water Conservation
District watershed coordinator Corey Meyer.
Innovative,
technology-driven approaches, like
solar- powered water pumps,
limited livestock access to
stream corridors and proved
landowners
willingness
to use more modern technologies. Where livestock
had been trampling stream
banks, lunker hides have

been installed reducing 27


tons of sediment from reaching Coldwater Creek. This
unique stream-bank protection allows for a natural look
to the bank, with rock support
hidden under a mix of prairie
grasses and forbs. Additionally, satellite imagery and light
detecting radar (LIDAR)
technologies helped locate
and buffer sinkholes, offering
major bacterial and nutrient
reduction. Once the project
began, terraces, grade stabilization structures, water and
sediment basins, woodland
management,
stream-bank
stabilization and grassed waterways were added to fit producers' stewardship concerns.
As a result of these practices, the local brown trout population exploded. The huge
sediment brought on by rain
and spring thaws were reduced, allowing brown trout
eggs to remain uncovered in
coble spawning beds until
they hatch in March. Iowa
DNR fish population surveys
revealed brown trout numbers
exceeding 2,500 fish per mile.
This does not include the putand-take rainbow trout fishery anglers have full access to
365 days a year.
REAP funding, provided
through Iowa Department of
Agricultural and Land Stewardship (IDALS) Water Protection Fund (WPF) grants,
supported the administration
of the project, bringing partners and producers together for a total investment of
$1,338,764.50 within the
water quality project. These
funds went towards a 75 percent cost-share with landowners to construct practices
themselves or contract the
work out, injecting revenue into the local economy

REAP has been essential to the enhancement of
watershed projects - for the
practices to be built. Costshare funding utilizes other
partnership funds and ultimately puts the practices on
the ground but we couldnt
do it without REAP funding

to support project administration costs. Cost-share is


so limited anymore that we
have to utilize every source

lost REAP it would be very

Black Hills Energy advises


homeowners on how to realize
savings with five easy fixes
to conserve energy in their
homes during winter months
The winter heating season
is pounding on the door, and
Black Hills Energy has quick,
inexpensive fixes - many less
than $20 - to fix five common
sources of home energy loss.
"We're no strangers to
freezing temperatures in
Iowa, and nearly half the energy you use each winter goes
to heating," said Tracy Peterson, Operating Vice President
for Iowa Gas. "We help customers by offering a free inhome energy evaluation, rebates for insulation and new,
high-efficiency
appliances
and more."
Air leaks: Warm indoor air
escapes and cold air sneaks in
through cracks around doors,
windows and entry points for
natural gas, cable and telephone lines. Carefully seal
around those areas with an inexpensive caulking gun and a
$3 tube of caulk. Add weather stripping around doors and
windows for another low-cost
way to improve indoor comfort and cut heating bills.
Dirty air filters: A dirty air
filter increases the resistance
to air flow. Furnaces have to
work harder and consume a
lot more energy. It can even
cause indoor temperatures to
plummet, leading to an unnecessary service call. Clean
air filters per the manufacturer's instructions - usually
monthly - and replace them
as directed to keep warm,
clean air flowing throughout
the home.

Kitchen culprits: It's hard


to resist opening the oven
door to check on baking cookies or a Thanksgiving turkey,
but the temperature inside an
oven drops 25 degrees every
time the door is opened. Doing so increases cook time
and wastes energy. Instead,
turn on the oven light and
take a peek. On the stovetop,
use the right-sized pot or pan
for each burner. For example,
a six-inch pan on an eightinch burner wastes 40 percent
of the burner's energy.
Leaky air ducts: When
conditioned air escapes from
heating and cooling ducts, it
can add hundreds of dollars
a year to energy bills. Seal
seams with duct mastic or
foiled duct tape so the furnace doesn't have to work
overtime. Duct mastic is usually less than $15 a gallon and
can be applied with a cheap
paint brush.
Programmable
thermostats: Where health concerns
aren't an issue, a good winter rule of thumb is to keep
the thermostat at 68 degrees
and to lower it five to eight
degrees while sleeping or
away from home. The energy savings really add up. A
programmable thermostat is
a great set-it-and-forget-it
assistant and well worth the
investment.
"Taking proactive steps
to improve your home's energy efficiency is a quick,
inexpensive way to conserve
energy and reduce heating
costs," Peterson said. "Our
residential energy efficiency
programs are another great
opportunity."
Online Energy Evaluation:
Answer a few short questions
at www.bheSaveMoney.com
to receive an energy efficiency ranking for a home, improvement suggestions and a
three-year savings estimate.
Free In-Home Energy
Evaluation: A professional
evaluator visits a home and
measures insulation levels, air
infiltration levels, equipment
and operating conditions and
home habits that influence
energy usage. For those who
follow a recommendation to
add insulation, rebates cover
70 percent of the cost, up to
$750.
Rebates: Black Hills Energy customers who buy a
high-efficiency
appliance,
natural gas furnace or water
heater with the ENERGY
STAR rating can apply for
rebates. A list of qualifying
appliances, additional energy
efficiency programs and energy-saving tips can be found at

Eighth annual Lighted


Holiday Parade scheduled
to traverse the streets of
Waukon November 24
Plans are being made for
the eighth annual Lighted
Holiday Parade in downtown
Waukon, scheduled for Monday, November 24, beginning
at 6 p.m. The event coincides
with extended Monday night
business hours of Waukon retailers.
The theme for this years

complements the traditional
Christmas Fantasy hosted by
Veterans Memorial Health

Waukon, and will be featured
throughout the parade. All

ENTRIES WANTED
Float entries are currently
being accepted for the event.
It is asked that parking for parade entrants be limited to the
immediate area around East

pre-determined meeting site
to avoid confusion and congestion at the initial parade

gathering site.

Parade entrants and viewers are asked to bring a

approximately $20 million.
Hrycun and Meggers are hoping for similar success but they
also know that such success
takes more than hope, it takes
due diligence in determining
the smartest way to film and
market the movie.
They decided on the genre
of horror story for several reasons. First, horror is marketable; people like to be scared,
they explained. Movies are
made to make money so it
makes sense to choose a genre
which will generate profit. Second, the two say that horror
is translatable. Regardless of
language or culture, the same
types of events create fear in
people. This cannot be said of
comedy or many other genres.
They emphasized that the overseas market is a huge venue for
horror films and they want their
film to be marketable abroad as
well as in the United States.
They also say that, based on
their experience, 90-minute
films are typical in this genre
because of video on demand
and other similar sources.
ECONOMIC BOON TO
THE AREA
Meggers and Hrycun emphasized the economic boon
that they feel the film will bring
to the area. Thirty to forty crew
and cast members will need
housing, food, transportation,
building materials and things
to do during the month-long
shooting period next summer.
In addition, a smaller crew
will be in the area for several
months preparing for the movie shoot. There will be some
short-term jobs available generated by the movies needs.
Most of the movie will be
shot outdoors in wooded areas
but there will be some interior
shots in downtown Lansing
stores. They emphasized that
featuring a town in a movie
can increase tourism to the
area. People come to see where
Field of Dreams was shot or
they go to see the bridges of
Madison County, to reference
a pair of movies also filmed in
the state of Iowa.
They intend to use actual
stores and not create a false faade or interior for the movie
shots. They will, however, not
use actual burial grounds in
the movie. Meggers stressed
that they have been doing a
great deal of research about the
Mound Builders and the various burial mounds in the area.
Any burial mounds used in the
movie will be created specifically for the movie and no sacred ground will be desecrated.
Since this is a beginning film
for both Meggers and Hrycun,
they will make a low budget
feature film (under $3 million).
This limits the amount of money spent on locations, so they
have decided to use the woods
around Lansing as the primary
location. Computer-generated
special effects will not have an
important role in The Burial.
Meggers stated, We want to
rely on the story generated by
the characters and their choices and how those choices affect their lives. We dont want
special effects to take over the
story.
INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES
Hrycun and Meggers ad-

dressed an important aspect


of these preliminary meetings.
They are looking for investors.
They stated that movie making
is risky business and approximately 50% dont make money
back, but there could be up to
a 25% return on an investment
if the film does well. A small
investment in a movie would
be approximately $5,000. A
mid-range investor puts up approximately $50,000. Meggers
said the best reason to invest is
because you like the movies;
its fun to be involved. Major
investors, in the $175,000 to
$200,000 range, receive credit
lines like Executive Producer
on a film.
There are other ways to invest beyond money as well.
Advertising by paying for
product placement in the movie is another way to invest.
For example, a local brewery
or winery might want to have
their brand displayed in a bar
scene. This type of national exposure in a movie could make
a big impact on their business.
Hrycun emphasized that
although this is a first film for
both of them; they are not new
to the industry. They both have
worked in all aspects of production for several years and so
have a realistic picture of what
it takes to get the movie from
the script to the screen through
smart business practices.
Another type of investment
is through the opportunities
the shooting of The Burial
may offer for young people to
shadow professionals involved
in all aspects of movie production. Networking, mentoring,
apprenticeships and job shadowing are all very important
aspects of learning a trade
such as film making. Meggers
explained that they have been
mentored by Becky Smith, film
production professor at UCLA,
originally from the Okoboji
area. Smith has been an invaluable resource about making a
film in Iowa since she has done
this type of work here before,
using local cast and crew. In
addition, Liz Gilman, Executive Producer of ProduceIowa.
com, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs located in Des Moines, has been
very helpful.
QUESTIONS FROM THE
AUDIENCE
During a question/answer
period after the presentation,
questions from the audience
ranged from How can I be the
one who gets murdered in the
movie? to How long will it
be before we see this movie?.
Meggers stated that extras will
be used in the movie and they
would like those extras to be
the area residents, although
none of the extras will be murder victims. As the movie gets
closer to production, details
will be released about becoming an extra and other ways of
becoming a part of the process,
such as shadowing professionals in the movie making business.
As to a timeline for the
movie, Meggers explained that
the pre-production time starts
approximately two months
before the shooting; shooting
takes about one month and post
production editing takes foursix months. Hrycon explained
that the finished film is then
shown at film festivals and film
markets to potential film distributors.

PAGE 5A

RIVER VALLEY
Timing of a film release is
critical because distributors
want to maximize the audience; therefore, a film may be
ready for release but held back
until the best time to release it
to see the most earning potential. The film will probably end
up with an R rating but that is
not known until after it is completed and has gone through
the rating system. Meggers is
hoping for a release in 2016.
Will the movie be shot on
real film? Meggers stated that
real film is much more expensive and also more difficult to
manage because it would have
to be flown back and forth to
Chicago, IL daily for processing. High quality digital cameras will be used for this project.
Hrycun asked if there were
any concerns or worries. One
resident asked, Will Lansing
downtown be blocked off? Accessible? Hrycun emphasized
that the production company
will get permission from all
sites where they want to film
and will let people know several days in advance if an area
will be unavailable for traffic.
People are allowed to watch
the filming process as long as
they are quiet and stay out of
the shot. Most of the shooting
will be out in the woods, so
there may be just a few days
downtown where a certain area
may need to be sectioned off.
The production crew will take
before and after shots of every
locale so that they leave it exactly as it was. Meggers stated,
We respect the people of this
area and the beauty of this land.
We do not want to disturb any
aspect of life here.
Another audience member
asked about how to contact the
company if they are interested
in providing catering or housing. Currently, all information
can be sent to either Meggers
or Hrycun. Their emails are
jackmeggers@gmail.com or
kristinehrycun@gmail.com.
Soon they will hire a production manager who will manage
those important details.
Finally, one of the area
teachers asked Are you willing to come talk to students?
Both Meggers and Hrycun enthusiastically replied that they
love to talk to students about
their craft. They already have
meetings set up at Iowa State
University and Drake University but would be more than
willing to talk to area students
as well.
Meggers and Hrycun are
currently based out of Des
Moines until the movie is completed. Additional information about the movie will be
published as it becomes available. Information may also
be obtained by visiting www.
wholeheartedproductions.org
or https://www.facebook.com/

ACSD sponsoring Kindness,


Courage and Respect retreats for
students through Youth Frontiers
organization throughout this week
The Allamakee Community School District (ACSD)
will once again be sponsoring a number of retreats for
its students in November.
Youth Frontiers, an organization from Minneapolis, MN,
will host the retreats. Youth
Frontiers is a non-profit organization in existence since
1987 and has delivered over
795 retreats this year to over
120,000 students.
Youth Frontiers retreats
act as a catalyst for students.
By taking an entire grade offsite (to Village Creek Bible
Camp again this year), Youth
Frontiers challenges those
students to bring respect back
to the hallways of the school.
These retreats will focus on
Kindness, Courage and Respect. Ultimately, students
become engaged in making
the school a place where
students and teachers are
respected and both are challenged to learn to maximize
their full potential.
These positive peer interactions have proven essential
for both adults and students
in building positive skills that
allow the school and the community to become a better
place to live and learn. The
upcoming retreat schedule for
the Allamakee Community
School District is as follows:
KINDNESS RETREAT
(5th Grade) - November
11: This full day retreat for
students inspires character
by engaging students in activities that emphasize the
value of kindness. Kids are
empowered to be everyday
heroes by using kindness to
include others, be respectful,
and make their school a better place. Students learn that
some peer pressure can cause
fighting, verbal taunting and
social exclusion. The retreat
teaches students a positive
and safe way to handle these
difficult situations with their
peers.
COURAGE
RETREAT
(7th Grade) - November 12:
This full day retreat inspires
character by empowering
students to act with moral
courage and identify the so-

Congratulations

cial fears and peer pressures


that impede responsible decision-making. The retreat
encourages them to take positive risks that make a healthy
difference for themselves,
their peers and school. This
retreat will include adults and
ninth and 10th grade student
leaders.
RESPECT
RETREAT
(10th Grade) - November 13:
This full day retreat will give
students a day to experience
what a school could be like
if everyone is respected. It
will also challenge students
to respect themselves. The
vision of the group is to help
students resolve conflicts
without fighting, insults and
threats. This retreat will include adult and 12th grade
student leaders.
One of the unique things
about Youth Frontiers and
these retreats is that they have
a lot of follow-up material
that includes tips for educa-

tors, conversation starters,


character challenges and
other reflective pieces for
student, staff and parents.
Parents and teachers can access information about Youth
Frontiers and the retreats that
are to be held from the Youth
Frontiers website at www.
youthfrontiers.org.
As mentioned previously,
the retreats will be held at
Village Creek Bible Camp
in rural Lansing, although
Youth Frontiers is not a religiously-affiliated or religiously-based organization.
It is a non-profit, non-partisan
organization with the main

Iowa Department of Education, to develop 15 networks
in the state. The main purpose
of the intermediary funding
is to create a connector for
schools and businesses within
each community college region in Iowa.
The $96,665 in grant funding NICC received will support activities and objectives
of the colleges new Northeast Iowa Career Learning
Link program, which focuses
its efforts on building knowledge of career opportunities

Recycling Food Waste?
Waste Not, Want Not?
Supermarkets throw out
$47 billion worth of food
each year. Much of this food
is still safe to eat. The idea is
to offer food to people at low
prices and reduce the amount
of food wasted. This has led
to new businesses opening
around the United States
that provide groceries at a
discounted price.
These food items are safe
to eat, but one of the following
applies: 1) they are past their
sell-by date (end of store
shelf life but still safe to
eat); 2) they are close to their
use-by date (found on shelfstable products; indicates
absolute best quality when
unopened); 3) they have
minor imperfections (e.g.,
slightly bruised produce,
slightly dented cans); or 4)
they are from overstocks.
Why
is
repurposing
of these foods gaining
popularity? Foods that are
past their sell-by date or close
to their use-by date can still
be safe to eat and therefore
can be used to combat
hunger. Currently, one in
eight, or 11.9%, of Iowans are
food insecure, meaning that
at some time during the year
they lacked access to safe and
nutritious food. This leads to
lower intakes of nutrient-rich
foods, more health problems,
and loss of independence.
People who are food
insecure do not receive the
nutrients needed to remain
healthy and active. Not
having access to safe and
nutritious foods in midlife
and older adulthood can

make completing daily tasks
(e.g., cleaning, bathing,
etc.) more challenging. In
addition, getting a foodborne
illness can have long-term
health consequences. In
children, a lack of proper
nutrition is associated with
increased behavior problems,
school absenteeism, difficulty
concentrating and fatigue.
The Iowa organization
Table to Table is working to
reduce food waste and food
insecurity. Table to Table
collects edible food from
donors and distributes these
food items to those in need
through agencies that serve
the hungry, homeless and atrisk populations. Since 1996,
Table to Table has rescued
about 12 million pounds of
food from grocery stores,
restaurants, schools and other
food operations. To learn

IOWA HOUSE
DISTRICT 56
In the only state level representative race impacting the
local area, incumbent Democrat Patti Ruff retained her
position in District 56 of the
Iowa House of Representatives, defeating Republican
challenger Lowell Engle by
a 6,168-4,872 margin to net
nearly 56% of the votes cast
in District 56. Allamakee
County voters made for a
much narrower margin of just
2,707-2,504 for Ruff, giving
her just under 52% of their
approval.
OTHER STATE RACES
The trend of re-electing
incumbent candidates continued through all of the State
of Iowa administrative races
on Tuesday's ballot, with Allamakee County voters not
only following that overall
statewide trend but also offering even greater approval
to Republican candidates in
each of those races, as well
as those at the federal level.
A straight ticket voting margin of 955 for Republicans
vs. 671 for Democrats in Allamakee County helped fuel
that broader approval for Republican candidates.
Despite that higher level of
Republican approval, incumbent Democrats, Attorney
General Tom Miller and State
Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald, were able to retain their
state offices. Miller received
56.1% of the statewide vote
to retain his seat over Republican challenger Adam Gregg,
with Miller getting just
53.5% approval in Allamakee
County in a 2,710-2,352 local
margin. Likewise, Fitzgerald
won with a statewide approval of 52.8% but was not as
well supported by Allamakee
County voters, edging Republican challenger Sam Clovis by a 2,518-2,302 margin
in Allamakee County for just
a 50.4% local approval.
State administrative incumbent Republicans, Secretary of Agriculture Bill
Northey and State Auditor
Mary Mosiman, each easily
retained their offices, with
another higher level of support from Allamakee County
voters helping to fuel those
returns. Northey claimed
62.3% of the statewide vote
over Democratic challenger Sherrie Taha, with local
voters boosting Northey's
approval to 67.2% with a
3,388-1,446 area vote margin over Taha. Mosiman's local support margin was even
greater, as 62.4% of Allamakee County voters gave her
their approval in comparison
to 56.9% statewide, Mosiman
garnering a 3,032-1,820 margin among local voters.
In what one might call a
delayed re-election, Iowans
returned former Secretary of
State, Republican Paul Pate,
to that same office he once
occupied in the late 1990s.
Pate received just 48.5% of
the statewide vote to edge out
Democrat Brad Anderson in
the open race to fill the office
left vacant by current Secretary of State Matt Schultz
unsuccessfully seeking a U.S.
House of Representatives
District 3 seat. Allamakee
County voters against boosted the Republican candidate,
giving Pate 51.5% approval
with a 2,590-2,211 local margin.
The lead state government
position also followed the
same overall trend, as the
incumbent Republican ticket
of Terry Branstad and Kim
Reynolds retained its position
in the Iowa Governor's office
with 59.0% statewide voter
approval over the Democratic
challenge of Jack Hatch and
Monica Vernon. Allamakee
County voters vaulted the
Branstad/Reynolds ticket to
a 64.5% approval with a local
vote margin of 3,391-1,719.
FEDERAL RACES
Local voters also helped
the state of Iowa fuel
overall Republican control
of Congress, as both the
U.S. Senate and U.S.
House of Representatives
District 1 seats on this
year's ballot were won by
their respective Republican
candidates. Republican Rod
Blum edged Democrat Pat
Murphy in that open U.S.
House District 1 battle by
a 51.2%-48.7% statewide
margin fueled further by
Allamakee County's 56.9%
voter approval of Blum with
a 2,951-2,227 local margin.
Somewhat bucking that
trend of significant greater
local approval, however, was

the race for U.S. Senate, where


Democrat Bruce Braley was
outdistanced by Republican
Joni Ernst by a 52.2%-43.7%
margin on a statewide level
to become Iowa's first female
U.S. Senator. Although still
giving Ernst the elective nod,
Allamakee County voters
were just slightly more
approving of her, at 52.8%,
within her 2,759-2,173 local
voter margin over Braley.
It was not that Allamakee
County voters were more
supportive of Braley, as their
41.6% approval of him was
even less than the statewide
percentage, but Independent
candidate Rick Stewart, who
has early roots in Postville,
managed a full percentage
point more support in his
native county (3.4%) than he
did statewide (2.4%).
JUDICIAL RETENTION
In the much ignored
Judicial Retention ballot
items, Allamakee County
voters gave slightly higher
average approval (73.5%)
than the statewide average
(72%) to the two Iowa Court
of Appeals judges on this
year's ballot, while giving
slightly less average support
(75% locally compared to
78% statewide) to the three
Associate Judges listed. In
each of those five ballot
items, more than one-third
of Allamakee County voters
who cast ballots in Tuesday's
election either failed to or
decided not to cast their vote
in any of those judge retention
selections. The following
results were reported for
Allamakee County:
Court of Appeals: Thomas
Bower - 2,668 Yes, 931 No;
Christopher McDonald 2,508 Yes, 913 No.
District 1A Associate

OTHER COUNTY ITEMS
In other ballot items within
Allamakee County, Donald
Elsbernd received 3,506
votes to be elected to fill one
of two open Commissioner
positions for the Allamakee
County Soil and Water

Conservation District, with


no other candidate listed
on the ballot and write-in
candidates not being official
until after the canvassing of
the vote by the Allamakee

Grant money available for


schools to fund field trips
related to agriculture
Silos & Smokestacks
National
Heritage Area
(SSNHA) is providing teachers the opportunity to immerse
their students in the world of
agriculture through hands-on
experiences. SSNHA began
accepting applications for the
2014-2015 Bus Grant Program season at the beginning
of the current school year.
Bus Grants help fund
transportation to agriculturally-related field trips to
SSNHA Partner Sites and
farm sites throughout the
region. Student experiences range from discovering
where milk comes from at
Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy in
Hudson to learning about ag
drainage tile at the Hurstville
Lime Kilns in Maquoketa.
Through a partnership with
GROWMARK, Inc., a total of
$10,000 will be available to
northeast Iowa schools during

the year's application process.


Awarded on a first-received, first-funded basis,
accredited Pre-K-12 public,
private or charter schools
located within the 37-county Heritage Area may apply
online for one grant per year
with a maximum of $350
awarded per school. Field
trips must have an agricultural component. Grant monies
are to be used for transportation costs to and from any one
of the over 100 SSNHA Partner Sites or farm site located
within the Heritage Area. The
grant cycle will remain open
until all funds are depleted or
until December 1 of this year.
Since 2007, the program
has helped over 14,000 youth
learn about agriculture and
where food comes from. For
information or to apply for
a grant, visit www.silosandsmokestacks.org/bus-grants.

The Allamakee County


Farm Bureau women met
October 21 at 10:30 a.m.
Chairperson Joan Bieber
welcomed everyone.
For the meeting program,
Ruby Kloke introduced her
speaker, Susan Wahls Beebout, daughter of Albert and
Ellen Wahls of Postville. She
and her husband do missionary work in Niger, Africa,
and she said they both knew
they wanted to do missionary
work before they got married. Susan is a nurse and her
husband is a carpenter, and
they were both helpful in getting a new clinic built in Niger in 2012.
Susan also teaches at a
medical school, and they

see approximately 1,000 patients per month. Two-thirds


of the country is desert, and
April is the hottest month in
Niger. Ninety-eight percent
of the people of Niger are
Moslems. They have beautiful gardens and grow about
the same kinds of vegetables
there as are grown in the local area here, and they are organic. The group appreciated
the presentation and video
shared by Susan for the program.
The Pledge of Allegiance
was led by Dorothy Goettel
and devotions were by Elaine
Goettel, which she retrieved
from her cell phone about
fall and colorful leaves, all
pertaining to Psalm 147. Roll

call was a special Halloween


event or fun, and that roll call
was responded to by nine
members, one spouse and two
guests.
The secretary's and treasurer's reports were accepted
as read, and a motion was
made by Joan Moore, seconded by Iona Reeves, that they
be put on file. Motion carried.
During the winter months,
if there is no school the Farm
Bureau women's meeting will
also be canceled. Joan Bieber and Patsy Kerndt will be
having a decorated Christmas
tree at the Christmas Fantasy
"Let It Be Christmas" November 14-17 at the Allamakee County Fairgrounds in
Waukon.

September 30, $300 was


transferred from the group's
money market account to its
checking account. A motion
was made by Ruby Kloke
and seconded by Elaine
Goettel that this be agreeable
with the rest of the group, and
the motion was carried.
The group ate lunch at the
City Club. A motion of adjournment was made by Patsy Kerndt and seconded by
Iona Reeves, motion carried.
Next month's meeting is
scheduled for November 18
at 10:30 a.m. Devotions will
be by Edna Lechtenberg,
roll call will be "What I am
thankful for," and the meeting program will be provided
by Deb Kiley.

Daughters of the American Revolution


bestow National Conservation Award
on "eagle cam" founder Bob Anderson

The Hannah Lee Chapter


of Daughters of the American
Revolution (DAR) recently
presented Robert J. (Bob)
Anderson, the eagle cam
guy, with the prestigious
National
Society
DAR
Conservation Award. The
presentation was made by
Iowa State DAR Conservation
Board
member
Nancy
Grindle, Hannah Lee Chapter
Regent Becky McCabe, and
Carol Hasvold, who had
written the nomination.
Anderson has gained
recognition as the man who
focused a web camera on a
bald eagle nest near the fish
hatchery south of Decorah.
People from over 180
countries have logged on to
the web site over 200 million
times since 2011 to watch

the eagle pair repair the nest,


lay eggs and take turns to sit
faithfully on the precious eggs
through late winter storms
until the eagle chicks hatch.
The parent eagles continue to
feed and care for the eaglets
until they take wing and leave
the nest in the fall.
Andersons eagle camera
is credited with having
educated millions about the
life of the national bird of
the United States, the Bald
Eagle, and has also increased
people's respect and affection
for this huge bird which so
tenderly and patiently cares
for its young.
Perhaps
even
more
significant is Andersons
innovative work to bring back
the Peregrine Falcon from
near extinction. From a small

group of captive Peregrines,


chicks were hatched and
then released at nest boxes
attached to bridges and
smokestacks. Over time these
produced over 1,500 progeny,
leading to the Peregrine
Falcons removal from the
endangered species list.
Anderson
devised
a
technique of placing chicks
in simulated rock boxes
atop bluffs near Effigy
Mounds National Monument,
imprinting the idea of cliffs as
nest sites. The peregrines are
now nesting and breeding on
over 20 different Mississippi
River cliffs.
In
1988,
Anderson
founded the Raptor Resource
Project, working toward
the preservation of falcons,
eagles, ospreys, hawks and
owls. He frequently leads
teams of volunteer observers
and climbers to monitor and
band birds of prey on power
plant smokestacks, cliffs,
water towers and other high
places. Although Andersons
work has expanded beyond
a breed-and-release program
of Peregrine Falcons, he
remains dedicated to telling
its story. The Peregrines
near extinction and recovery
sends a message that we can
make a difference. I cant
imagine a more important

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL


Former area high school athletes now competing in college

The Coe College and University of Dubuque


football
teams
took to the field
Saturday, November 8 in an Iowa
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
(IIAC) match-up
that also matched
former Waukon
High School teammates up against Snitker ...
one another. Colin Ferring, a senior fullback for Coe, and
Blaine Snitker, a junior linebacker for the
University of Dubuque, played some of
their respective high school football careers together at Waukon High School but
were lined up across from one another for
the final time in Saturdays game, sometimes locking horns as Ferring carried out
his lead blocking role and Snitker worked
to stop Coes offensive attack.
As the game unfolded, the final outcome came down to the last minute of the
ballgame, as Coe scored a late touchdown
and needed a two-point conversion in an
effort to complete its comeback and tie the
game. Snitker played a factor in the twopoint conversion pass missing its mark,
the Spartans coming away with the 29-27
victory over the Kohawks.
In addition to helping defend what
would have been the game-tying two-point

conversion, Snitker led the Spartan


defense with team

tackles and 14 total stops, including
assisting on one

Waukon girls cross country team takes season to the brink under first-year coach
A relatively young Waukon girls cross country team
with a first-year head coach
improved by great strides, literally, throughout this 2014
season to bring themselves to
the brink of the most coveted
destination at seasons end.
The Lady Indian distance
dandies worked through a
tough season of training under first-year coach Brett
Egan to finally realize the
pay-off of all that hard work,
finishing just one team placewinning shy of qualifying

for the Class 2A State Cross


Country Meet, an end result
that proved to be bittersweet,
but an overall pleasant surprise for all involved.
The team accomplishment of improving from ninth
place (in 2013) to fourth
place at the district meet was
definitely the highlight of
the year, Coach Egan said.
I didnt expect the program
to be in this position at the
conclusion of my first year of
coaching, but it speaks volumes about the girls trust to

buy into my training plan.


Coming into his first season at the Waukon girls cross
country helm, Egan brought
his own distance running experience from his highly decorated high school and college cross country and track
careers, working to apply his
knowledge and experience
to the squad he inherited this
season. The unknowns both
for and about a new head
coach were compounded by a
rather small group of just 10
participants for this seasons
team.
Cross country teams typically have to deal with a
small squad and we were no
different, Egan reasoned.
The girls stayed relatively
healthy throughout the year,
but our squad would benefit from some new additions
next year. With a new coach,
the training was quite new for
the girls and at times, they
dragged their feet. I know it is
hard to see how the workouts
are progressing. They were
going into the season blind. I
think with the small success
they experienced, they now
know that the training works
and they can trust the process.
With that training process
including just as much work
involving what goes on in
a runners head as it does
with what goes on with his
or her legs and feet, Coach
Egan and his charges battled
through it together to finally
see the breakthrough all had
hoped for.
One of the challenges I
had to get the girls to work
through was their mental
preparation for the meets,
the first-year head coach remarked. As a coach, it was
frustrating to see the girls not
compete well when they were
putting in the quality effort at
practice. It came down to the
girls approaching their races
in a totally different way than
they were accustomed to. I
wanted the girls to find the
balance between having fun
and competing because those
two can co-exist in our sport.
Our meet in Cresco was the
turning point. The conditions
were terrible, but I knew
the girls had finally realized
that they needed to take the
competitions seriously. We
seemed to just take off from
that meet all the way to our
district competition.
In addition to climbing the
mountain of mental preparation, Coach Egan said the
lack of physical preparation
prior to the start of the season was also a formidable
hurdle to overcome. Coming into the season, only one
of our runners put in summer
miles, he revealed. I had to
accept where the girls came
into the season with their
fitness, adjust, and move on.
The girls experienced great
improvement through the
season. With summer mileage, the girls fitness level can
be where we were at in the
middle part of the season.
Coach Egan also realizes
that although he came into
this initial season as a head
coach with much of his own
distance running knowledge
and experience, the season
would not have played out to
its successful end if not for
the assistance offered by volunteer coach Mike Shupe, the
Indians former head coach
from several seasons ago. I
have to recognize the tremendous help and guidance that
Mike Shupe offered throughout the course of the season,
Coach Egan noted. As a first
year coach, I appreciate that
Mike was there to help plan
the training cycle and make
adjustments along the way.
The training in cross country
is very specific and to have a
successful coach at practice
with me was just awesome.
Although finishing just
one place shy of State Meet
qualification was a pleasant
surprise, Coach Egan says it
has also proven to serve as an
initial source of motivation
fueled by the realization of
what a little more hard work
prior to or throughout the
season may have meant at the
end of the season.
After the disappointment
of the fourth-place district
finish, the girls commented
on their desire to run in the
summer, Coach Egan said.
They have the desire to improve next year. At some
point between now and the
start of summer, the reality is
that the desire to improve has
to translate into action, which,
in cross country, means running miles. The fourth-place
team probably wants to make
it to State the next year more
than any other team, but team
scores arent tallied by desire,

they are measured by effort.


The girls know what they
are being asked to do in the
offseason, and I think they
are ready for the challenge. I
am optimistic about the next
year with the returning athletes and the group of eighth
grade runners who will join
the high school squad. The
eighth graders could make an
instant impact at the varsity
level if they make the commitment to our team and its
goals.
Leading the list of returnees for next season from this
years final varsity top-seven runners will be a pair of
juniors in Leah Riese and
Alex Marti, with Marti actually completing just her first
full season of high school
cross country competition
this fall. Riese has paced the
Indian effort as the Tribes
lead runner throughout a vast
majority of each of these last
two seasons, missing out on
All-Conference honors in
each of those last two years
by just a single individual
placewinning.
Another pair each of sophomores, Katelynn Griffith
and Grace Blocker, and freshmen, Gabby Marti and Laurel
Keenan, round out this seasons list of underclassmen
set to return next year. We
have a core group returning
next year in Leah, Gabby,
Katelynn, Alex, Grace and
Laurel, with some others
looking to make it into that
top seven, Coach Egan speculated. I can foresee some
great competition between
the girls to better themselves

and the team next year. We


have to continue to make improvements between now and
the start of next fall if there is
to be a change in the outcome
of the district meet. You dont
get a guarantee to improve
one place every year in this
sport.
Next years squad will have
to replace just one senior lost
to graduation later this school
year, as Melissa Hammel was

the lone senior on this seasons team. But Coach Egan


says what she takes with her
will be greatly missed and
difficult to replace.
Melissa Hammel is the
only senior on the squad,
he said. She consistently
ran in the junior varsity races
through the middle part of the
season. It was evident as the
season was starting to wind
down, Melissa was starting

to hit her stride. She dropped


over two minutes in her last
two meets, which even surprised me. I wish I could keep
her around because she is one
of those positive, hard-working individuals that you want
your whole team to strive to
be as athletes and students. I
know Melissa has a successful future ahead of her and
the cross country team wishes
her the best.

Waukon Park and Recreation elds get considerable use during their rst year ...

The all-purpose elds pictured above on the west edge of Waukon have gotten a great amount of use throughout their rst full year of operation, being mainly used by Waukon Park and Recreation and
Allamakee Community School District youth for athletic and other activities. As pictured above on a recent sunny fall weekend, the Waukon Park and Recreation Departments ag football program made the
most recent use of the elds for both weekday practices and Saturday games. A total of 128 area youth from Waukon, Lansing, Monona, Postville and Waterville took part in the third and fourth grade ag
football program, while another 77 rst and second graders from Waukon and Waterville participated in the NERF ag football program. The Waukon Junior High School seventh and eighth grade football
teams also used the elds for their weekday practices, instead of having to make their way to their previous practice elds several blocks away near the Allamakee Community School District bus barn on
Fifth Street NW. The Waukon High School and Junior High School cross country teams also used the elds this fall as part of their practice course during the week.
In the spring of this year, the Waukon Park and Recreation Department also hosted its youth soccer program on the elds. A total of 325 youth in kindergarten through sixth grades from Waukon and
Waterville participated in this years soccer program, again using the elds during the week for practice sessions and for games on the weekends. Area residents of all ages have also made use of the wide
open grassy area for a variety of other activities, including kite ying, playing catch with frisbees and other athletic or recreational leisure activities.
The Waukon Park and Recreation Department is seeking community input as it plans for the future. Anyone who is willing to share their thoughts about programs that they or their children have participated
in, or activities they would like to see offered by the Waukon Park and Recreation Department, is asked to complete the survey located on the Waukon Park and Recreation Facebook page. On that page,
go to the post concerning the Waukon Park and Recreation Long Range Planning Survey. Any input that is provided would be much appreciated. Submitted photo.

The Waukon junior varsity football team wrapped up


its 2014 season with a 36-0
victory at home over Oelwein Friday, October 24. The
Indian combination of freshman and sophomore players
played to a 6-3 record on the
season.
Jadon Johnson got the
scoring underway for the
Indians with a blocked punt
that resulted in a safety and a
2-0 Indian headstart. Mitchell Snitker then scored on an
eight-yard touchdown run to
improve the Indian standing
to 8-0.
Abe Schwartzhoff connected with Tristan Hansmeier for an 18-yard touchdown
pass, with Evan Armstead
muscling in the two-point
conversion to make for a 16-0
Indian advantage. Armstead
then scored his own pair of
touchdowns on the ground,
the first from 15 yards out
and the second being followed by a two-point conversion run by Snitker to make
for a 30-0 Indian lead. James
Fossum added the finishing
touches to the Indian scoring
with a four-yard touchdown
run to help cap off the 36-0
Indian triumph.
Super game for the kids,
they were really ready to
play the game with total focus, the Waukon JV football coaching staff remarked.
The blocked punt was a
great way to start the scoring
and then things just started to
fall into place. The defense,
once again, did a super job
on pitching another shut-out
for our second in a row.
The guys did a super job
all season long, what a great
group to work with. After a
somewhat shaky start, the
guys really came together
as a team and we got better
and better as the season went
on. Our sophomores did a
great job of leadership for
the team. If they continue to
work, they have a very bright
future in football.

The Iowa Department of


Natural Resources (DNR)
reminds drivers to stay alert
as they travel rural roadsides
over the coming weeks.
Autumn deer behavior,
crop harvest and peak travel
times for motorists combine
to hike the risk of vehicle-deer collisions in Iowa.
Still, while that combination
of factors challenges drivers,
Iowas deer herd has shrunk
and the rate of car-deer accidents has dropped significantly, according to DNR
statistics.
Through the second or
third week of November,
Iowa bucks are more active,
as the breeding season builds
to its peak and they begin
searching for does. As they
pursue not-yet-ready to breed
does, this creates multiple
scenarios of fast moving,
unpredictable deer crossing
highways.
Also, with crop harvest in
full swing, deer are concen-

al increase in the miles driven by Iowans over the last 20


years, DNR officials say the
chance of hitting a deer has
actually declined.
The peak of car-deer collisions was in 2006 at nearly
15,000. In 2013, that number
had fallen to less than 10,000.
This is attributed to a decade
of increased deer harvest.
Hunters, Iowas primary deer
management tool, increased
their take of does over the last
decade. That came through
purchase of a liberal quota of
antlerless tags, in addition to
their regular deer tags.

Statewide, Iowa has a


declining deer herd with
the majority of countywide
reductions being targeted
for portions of central and
south-central Iowa.
Statewide, Iowas deer
herd has been reduced back
to levels that existed in the
mid-to-late 1990s. More than
80 percent of Iowas counties
are at or below this population goal. Remaining counties are close to the goal. That
was a goal targeted by Iowa
legislators in 2003, as they
instructed the DNR to reduce
deer populations.

Something Different
Give your Thanksgiving
turkey Italian flavor
I serve turkey all year,
mostly ground, stewed breast
in chunks, or as cutlets.
Thanksgiving is the only
time I roast turkey; making
a whole breast because it is
easier than wrestling with an
entire bird.
The whole breast pleases
everyone around the table
just fine, providing the white
meat they want, enough skin
to satisfy that yearly craving and even a carcass to
use for making soup. Since
a complete breast can weigh
as much as a small turkey,
one is usually enough but if
necessary, two medium-size
ones will fit into many ovens,
making it possible to roast
them together.
This year, I hope to win
praise by seasoning the breast
like porchetta the specially
prepared Italian roasted pork.
Italians adore this roast pig
for the aromatic blend of
herbs and spices, including
fennel and coriander plus
garlic that flavor it, as well
as for its succulent meat and
crackling skin.
A moist turkey is the
Holy Grail in my Thanksgiving kitchen. The porchetta
seasoning, a paste made by
combining fresh rosemary,
sage leaves, dried fennel and
coriander seeds with garlic,
coarse salt and olive oil, will
help to insure this happens.
Rubbed under the skin, the
salt in this oily mixture acts
like a brine to help the meat
hold its moisture. The result
is also pinker meat than you
may be used to. To be sure
the bird is properly done, I
urge you to use an instantread thermometer, waiting
until it reads 165 degrees F.
when inserted deep into the
thickest part of the breast.
Then, letting the turkey rest
for the recommended 20
minutes should finish it to
perfection.
Italians also prize porchetta for its browned, crisp skin.
To help the turkey breast
achieve equally good color,
after smearing the seasoning mixture under the skin,
I rub my oily hands over the
outside, lightly coating it. In
my test runs, the result was
glossy, golden-brown skin,
tenderly succulent turkey and
a house that smelled divine.
P.S. If you do not have a
mini food processor, you can
make the paste using a broad,
heavy knife. It requires patiently coarsely chopping the
toasted spices, then adding
the herbs and garlic, chopping them very fine, then
adding the coarse salt and
repeatedly alternating smearing them all together and
chopping until you have a
coarse paste. Scoop that up,
place it in a small bowl, and
mix in the oil.

oil

3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive

1 (5-7 lb.) whole turkey


breast, bone-in
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth*
Combine coriander and
fennel seeds in small, dry
skillet and toast over medium-high heat until seeds are
golden and fragrant, 3 to 4
minutes, shaking and moving pan in circular motion
occasionally at first, then
constantly. Transfer seeds to
plate to cool.
Make seasoning mixture
in food processor by pulsing
toasted coriander and fennel
seeds with herbs and garlic
until finely chopped. Add salt
and pepper and whirl until all
ingredients are very finely
chopped, 30 seconds. With
motor running, drizzle in oil.
Set seasoning mixture aside
for 15 minutes.
While seasoning sits, use
your fingers to gently separate skin from turkey breast
meat, taking care not to tear
skin. Using your hand, rub
one third of seasoning mixture under skin on each side
of breast and coat inside of
breast with remaining mixture. Rub your oily hands
over skin, coating it lightly.
Seal breast in plastic wrap
and set on a plate. Marinate
breast in refrigerator for 4
hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place rack in large
roasting pan. While oven
heats, unwrap turkey and let
sit on counter.
Pour chicken broth into
roasting pan. Set turkey
breast on rack. Roast turkey,
turning pan in oven every
20 minutes to help it brown
evenly. Breast is done when
instant read thermometer
inserted into thickest point
reads 165 degrees F., about
2 hours for a 6 pound breast
(allowing 20 minutes per
pound). Skin can be dark
without meat being dry, but
tent foil over breast if skin is
getting too dark. Because of
brining effect of seasoning
paste, skin near bone may
look pale pink.
Let breast rest for 20 minutes before carving. Strain
juices to serve on the side.

broth and water.

Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home


Care has received its flu vaccine and will be offering flu
shots every Wednesday afternoon during regular immunization clinic hours. The
next flu shot clinics will be
held Wednesday, November
12 from 1 to 4 p.m.; again
Wednesday, November 19
from 1 to 6 p.m.; and each
Wednesday thereafter. The
Community and Home Care
Immunization Clinic is located on the upper level of
Veterans Memorial Hospital.
Immunization clinics are
held from 1 to 6 p.m. the first
and third Wednesdays of the
month, and from 1 to 4 p.m.
all other Wednesdays. Flu
vaccine, pneumonia vaccine,
and a combination of flu and
pneumonia vaccine will all
be available. Tetanus shots
will be offered as well.
Medicare does cover the
cost of the flu vaccine. Billing for Medicare will be
completed by the Community and Home Care staff,
but participants will need to
bring their physicians name
and their Medicare number
with them. Pneumonia and
Tdap shots are also available.
Influenza, also called the
flu, can cause fever, chills,
headache, cough, sore throat,
and muscle aches to people
of any age, and can lead to
pneumonia and even death.
But most deaths caused by
influenza are in elderly people.
The Center for Disease
Control now recommends
that everyone six months of
age and older get vaccinated
against the flu every year.
Flu shots are highly recommended for the following
people:
Anyone age 50 and over.
Residents of long term
care facilities with chronic
medical conditions.
Any child or adult, including pregnant women,
who has a serious long-term
health problem with heart
disease, anemia, asthma, lung
disease, kidney disease or
diabetes and in the past year
had to see a doctor regularly
or be admitted to a hospital.

Women who will be


more than three months pregnant during influenza season.
People six months to 18
years of age on long-term aspirin treatment (these people
could develop Reye Syndrome if they catch influenza).
People who are less able
to fight infections because
of a disease he/she was born
with or contracted (like HIV),
are receiving treatments with
drugs such as steroids or are
having cancer treatments
with x-rays or drugs.
Anyone having close
contact with people who are
at high risk for contracting a
serious case of influenza including health care workers
and people living with high
risk persons.
Influenza vaccines are
also recommended for people
in schools and colleges, people who provide important
community services, people
going to the tropics any time
of the year and anyone who
wants to reduce their chance
of catching influenza.
An annual flu shot is also
encouraged for:
Healthy children 6-23
months of age.
Household contacts and
out-of-home caretakers of
infants from 0-23 months of
age, especially those younger
than six months.
People who provide essential community services.
People at high risk for flu

complications who travel to


the Southern hemisphere between April and September,
or who travel to the tropics or
in organized tourist groups at
any time.
People living in dormitories or under other crowded
conditions, to prevent outbreaks.
Anyone else who wants
to reduce their chance of
catching influenza.
Since the influenza viruses
change frequently, they may
not always be covered by the
vaccine and the vaccine does
not protect against other viral
infections other than influenza.
Anyone receiving the influenza vaccination should
be sure to tell their doctor
or nurse if they have or have
had any of the following
symptoms:
A serious allergy to eggs.
A serious allergic reaction or other problem after
getting the influenza vaccination.
Were ever paralyzed by
Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
Now have a moderate or
severe illness.
Check with a local family practice physician if you
have any questions about
your eligibility for the influenza vaccination.
For more information, call
the Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home
Care Department at 563-5685660.

VHM to offer CPR course

health related fields such as
physicians, nurses, EMTs,
etc.) Wednesday, November
19, beginning at 1 p.m. This
Health Care Professional
CPR class will be held in
the Large Conference Room
located on the lower level of
the hospital.
The cost of the class, for
certification or recertifica-

tion, is $35 and all registrants


should bring along their own
pocket mask. The card received with the course does
certify attendants in CPR for
two years.
Pre-registration is required. For more information and to register for the
Health Care Provider CPR
course, call Machelle Bulman, RN, Education Coordinator at Veterans Memorial
Hospital, at 563-568-3411 by
November 17.

risk of coronary heart disease
is half that of a continuing
smoker.
Five years: Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat,
esophagus and bladder are
cut in half. The risk for cervical cancer and stroke can also
decrease.
10 years: The risk of dying from lung cancer is about
half that of a person who is
still smoking.
15 years: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of
a non-smoker.

available to help you quit, no
matter where you are in the
process. These materials can

to quit, develop strategies to
help with cravings, and prevent relapse once you have
quit. The self-help materials
offer proven methods that are
easy to follow and help keep
you motivated.

in a variety of forms group
smoking cessation programs,
telephone counseling programs, or support groups.

System wellness education
specialist Susan Lundsten for
more information about tobacco cessation resources at
Gundersen by calling (800)
862-9567, ext. 55442.

The Great American Smokeout is a


great time to quit; help is available
If you ask anyone who has
tried to quit smoking, its not
easy. The good news is that it
can be done and there is a lot
of help available.
On the third Thursday of
November each year, The
American Cancer Society
marks the Great American
Smokeout by encouraging
smokers to use the date to
make a plan to quit, or to plan
in advance and quit smoking
that day. This year the Great
American Smokeout will
take place November 20.
Quitting smoking is the
best thing you can do to
improve and protect your
health, says Todd Mahr,
MD, allergist and immunologist at Gundersen Health
System. Every minute, hour,
week and month you are tobacco free, is a benefit to
your health.
According to the American Cancer Society, after not
smoking for:
20 minutes: Your heart
rate and blood pressure drop.
12 hours: The carbon
monoxide level in your blood
drops to normal.
Two to three months:
Your circulation improves
and your lung function increases.
One to nine months:
Coughing and shortness of
breath decreases and normal
lung function begins to return.

Idolatry
Idolatry is usually thought of as the worship of idols, idols being things or forms which are not God. Idolatry can take many forms, from worshipping creatures rather than the Creator, to worshipping an
image. The original Greek word, eidololatres, is a simple combination of two Greek words, eidos, meaning form, and latreia, meaning service, suggesting that the term originally entailed worshipping (or
serving) an image or form. For whatever reason, human beings are strangely disposed to this grave sin, perhaps because we are material beings and our minds and hearts are so easily drawn to images and
material things which can then seem by their power or beauty to be divine. The history of the early Israelites is replete with examples of idolatry, most notably the worship of the golden calf in the 32nd
chapter of Exodus, but also earlier in Genesis 31:19, where we are informed When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her fathers household gods. Household gods is a translation of the
Hebrew word teraphim and in this passage there is barely a hint of Gods disapproval. In Exodus 32, however, three-thousand of the Israelites were struck down by the sword for their sin of worshipping
the golden calf. Shortly thereafter the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made. (Exodus 32:35) We would all do well to remember Gods first
commandment. Christopher Simon You shall have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3

Deadline to seed cover crops extended

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and State


Agronomist Barb Stewart
with USDAs Natural Resources Conservation Service announced recently that
farmers participating in state
cost-share and most federal
financial assistance programs
now have until November 15,
2014 to plant winter hardy
cover crops and still qualify
for assistance.
The seeding date is extended following the announcement that only 81
percent of Iowas soybeans
and 36 percent of corn were
harvested as of Sunday. The
crop report indicates both
corn and soybean harvests are
behind the five-year average,
said Northey. Extending the
deadline to November 15 will
allow additional farmers to
get cover crops planted while

still benefiting water quality.


Winter hardy cover crops
include cereal rye, winter
wheat, triticale, among others. An extension was given
to farmers last year, too, following a late harvest. Late
seeded winter hardy cover
crops provided adequate
spring growth for erosion
control last year when allowed to grow to at least eight
inches tall before termination, said Stewart.
Guidance from Iowa State
University confirmed cover
crops planted through the November 15 deadline still have
the potential to provide a substantial reduction in nutrient
losses and soil erosion.
The following applies to
cover crops planted in the extension period (October 16
November 15):
Cover crops will be seed-

ed as soon as possible after


harvest of the principal crop.
The cover crop to be
seeded must be winter hardy
(i.e. cereal rye, winter wheat,
triticale).
The cover crop will be
no-till drilled in crop residue.
Allow cover crop to add
growth as long as possible
in the spring prior to termination to maximize benefits.
(Must be allowed to grow
until at least eight inches for
those participating in federal
programs.)
The extension does not
apply for all federal programs. Contact your NRCS
office if you have questions.
Farmers approved for costshare assistance who are still
unable to plant cover crops
should contact their local Soil
and Water Conservation District office.

ISU Extension to conduct November 17


Farm Bill Program Overview Meeting
Farmers and landowners will learn about the new
programs authorized by the
Agricultural Act of 2104
(commonly referred to as
the Farm Bill) at an informational meeting conducted by
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and local
USDA Farm Service Agency
staff members. A local meeting will be held November
17 at Farmers and Merchants
Saving Bank in Waukon, beginning at 1 p.m.
The Farm Bill Program
Overview meetings will focus
on the Price Loss Coverage
(PLC) and Agricultural Risk
Coverage (ARC) that will
be administered by USDA
Farm Service Agency, and
the Supplemental Coverage
Option (SCO) administered
by USDA Risk Management
Agency through federal crop
insurance providers.
Extension farm management specialists are prepared
to discuss decisions farmers
and landowners will need to
make in the coming months
regarding Price Loss Coverage, County Agricultural
Risk Coverage, and Individual Agricultural Risk Coverage options, said Kristen
Schulte, farm management
specialist with ISU Extension
and Outreach. Joining Extension and Outreach at the

meetings will be local FSA


staff members who administer the programs.
The main topics that will
be covered during the meetings include:
Base reallocation
Yield updating
Price Loss Coverage
(PLC)
Ag Risk Coverage (ARC)
Implications of PLC and
ARC on participation in the
Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO)
Dairy Margin Protection
Program (MPP)
Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program
(NAP).

1. For the 2014 and 2015


farm bill election of PLC,
ARC-CO or ARC-IC, the Allamakee County FSA Office
needs to be notified by landowners if there is a change of
operator on their farm from
2014 to 2015 crop year. We
will need to know who the
current operators on the farm
are. If a landowner sold their
farm and the new owner did
not come into the Allamakee FSA Office to report the
change, this will affect the
new farm program. The records need to be updated as
soon as possible.
2. Landowners need to be
in contact with operators (if
cash rented from 2008-2012)
to gather yields for 20082012 for each farm they own.
This is the chance to update
yields for the ARC/PLC program and or future farm bills.
3. The updates and base allocations started September
29, 2014 and end February
27, 2015.
4. Contact the Allamakee
County FSA Office to setup
an appointment to review
your farm(s) and bring along
your yield information.

sheds, also known as HUC8


watersheds, include 429
subwatersheds, or HUC12
watersheds.
Applications
will be accepted for projects
focused on a single subwatershed within the priority
watersheds, or for projects
that group multiple subwatersheds into a single application.
Projects will include concentrated efforts to demonstrate conservation practices
paired with strong outreach/
education components to
disseminate information on
these practices to promote increased awareness and adoption of available practices and
technologies for achieving
reductions in nutrient loads
to surface waters. Successful
projects will serve as local
and regional hubs for demonstrating practices and providing practice information to
farmers, peer networks and
local communities.
Soil and Water Conservation Districts, watershed
groups and other non-governmental organizations are
eligible to submit applications. Applicants will be able
to seek up to three years of
funding for a project, with the
possibility of future extensions depending on funding
availability and project performance.

The maximum five-page


pre-application must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday,
November 17, 2014. Preapplications selected to submit a full application will be
notified by December 1, 2014
and the full applications will

CORNER

As Veterans Day is upon us


and other holidays are near,
we remember all the men and
women who fought and died
to preserve and protect our
freedom. We also remember all those still serving our
country and sacrificing all for
things that we take for granted. We at Allamakee County
Veterans Affairs would like
to express our greatest appreciation for all that they have
done for us and future generations to come.
Wed like to take some
time and explain a few new
and very important benefits
to veterans.
Disabled Veterans
Homestead Tax Credit
Recently-enacted legislation (2014 Iowa Acts Senate
File 2352) provides 100%
exemption of property taxes
for 100% Disabled ServiceConnected Veterans and
Dependency and Indemnity
Compensation (DIC) recipients. Those interested in applying for this benefit must
obtain a current Benefits
Paid Letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs,
complete the Application for
Disabled Veterans Homestead Tax Credit Form (Iowa
Department of Revenue Form
54-049a) which is available
on the Iowa Department of
Revenues website (www.tax.
iowa.gov), and submit the application and Benefits Pain
Letter to your County Assessors office by July 1st of every year. Currently, veterans
who have 100% Service Connected ratings because of individual unemployability are
not eligible for the tax credit
but are still encouraged to
apply because eligibility requirements may soon change.
Military Tax Exemption
Recently-enacted legislation (2014 Senate File 303)
exempts federal retirement
pay received for military
service and survivor benefits
from state individual income
tax.
The bill provides for the
exclusion of military retirement benefits from Iowa individual income tax. This is
retroactive to the tax year beginning January 1, 2014.
The exclusion also applies
to military survivor benefits
received under 10 U.S.C.
1447. The exemption is available for both residents and
nonresidents of Iowa.
The exemption is in
addition to the general
$6,000/$12,000 pension exclusion available for Iowa
individual income tax for
taxpayers 55 years of age or
older.
Because the change is retroactive to January 1, 2014,
individuals receiving military
retirement benefits may immediately change or eliminate the amount of Iowa tax
being withheld on their military pension.
VA Dental Insurance
This is different than the
VA dental care offered at a
VA Medical Center. Veterans who are enrolled in VA
health care can choose to
purchase one of the offered
dental plans. This three-year
pilot has been designed for
Veterans with no dental coverage, or those eligible for VA
dental care who would like to
purchase additional coverage.

A pregnant woman drinking any amount of alcohol


can permanently harm her
baby.
No one knows this better than Sandy Hruby of
Hutchinson, Minnesota, who,
along with her husband, adopted two children that eventually were diagnosed with
fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). The National Institutes of Health states FASD
can cause permanent, lifelong
harm to a child, including difficulties learning and remembering, understanding and
following directions, communicating and socializing,
controlling emotions, and
managing basic life skills.
In a telephone interview,
50-year-old Hruby said, Of
our three (adopted) children, two were diagnosed on
the (FASD) spectrum. Our
daughter, who now is almost
20, came from Romania. Our
youngest son is 13 and he
came from a foster care program.
Their daughter arrived
from overseas a bit hyper,
she said, which Hruby attributed then to the excitement of

Letter to the Editor

being in new surroundings.


Their daughter on arrival
spoke only Romanian. The
Hrubys soon learned she also
had sensory issues involving certain clothing fabric
and foods, and was very impulsive, often showing poor
judgment.
Said Hruby, As for her
judgment, for example, for a
long time, she couldnt differentiate family members
from strangers. She hadnt
been exposed to men in her
(Romanian) orphanage, was
fascinated with whiskers,
and would go up to men with
whiskers who were strangers
and rub their faces.
A physician diagnosed
their daughter at age 7 with
fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. At first, Hruby was in
denial and had to do research
herself before fully believing
the diagnosis. Their youngest
son received his diagnosis at
age 7, too. In kindergarten,
he had screaming fits, broke
and threw pencils, with his
arms cleared books off tables,
flipped chairs, and sometimes
hit and kicked people in his
way. It has taken much work,
she said, but her children today are doing really well.
She said, Our daughter is
driving a car, holding a parttime job, and taking community college classes. Our son
is doing extremely well and is
almost behavior-free, in part
because of getting a service
dog last December. His dog
knows how to calm him, she
said. Both her children for
years have been medicationfree. She attributed their success to a support network that
includes their home, school,
church, and community.
Hruby works part-time as
Southwest Minnesota family
resource coordinator for the
Minnesota Organization on
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She
said, I wouldnt trade my
kids in for the world.

... that its beginning to


look as if we are going to
have winter again this year.
Trees have shed their leaves
for the most part, and what
remains are bare ruined
choirs, where late the sweet
birds sang, as Shakespeare
wrote.
And Christmas ads are replacing political ads on television. We used to hope that
advertisers would at least
wait until after Thanksgiving. Now, we barely make it
to Halloween.
Halloween has never been
a favorite holiday in my
thinking. Once when I was
very young, perhaps six, my
mother and a friend of hers
took me and the friends son
trick or treating. It was cold
and rainy, and I did not enjoy it. The only other time
I did that was as a sub-teen,
and I remember wrinkled
apples and popcorn balls as
highlights, rather than candy.
Then as a teen, I was invited
to a Halloween party, part of
which was a scavenger hunt.
Two girls from the party had

the misfortune of calling at a


house where the old woman
who lived there had a heart
attack!
The concept of trick or
treat later struck me as too
much like the attitude of the
federal government toward its
citizens.
This year, early the morning of Nov. 1, after All Hallows Eve, I heard an owl in
the neighborhood. It is not
unusual to hear owls around
the home place, but I had
not heard one previously this
fall, and thanks to a prostate
problem, I have some opportunities to be awake at various
times nights. Perhaps if I had
gone outside, I could have
seen bats as well.
I order some things from
catalogs, and as a result, my
name is sold from one publisher to another. I dont mind,
although the post office probably does. But strange coincidences sometimes result. For
example, seed catalogs often
came in my mothers name,
Mabel. But I usually wrote
the check. So in subsequent

At least one outfit has a
confused computer, because
I received a mailing offering
birthstone jewelry, urging me
to buy a romantic diamond
and birthstone heart shaped
pendant for Mabel. That incestuous suggestion came
even though she has been
dead for a decade. The birthstones were correct for the
month of my birth and hers,
leaving me wondering how
they got that information! But
if that wasnt enough, a couple weeks later the same firm
made the same suggestion for
Richard and Dickie. Perhaps implying a homosexual
romance.
I would like to sue for
defamation of character or
willful infliction of sad memories, or something, but the
firm would probably just say
the computer made the error,
and no person was involved.
So, in the spirit of Christmas, I will simply bemoan
the dependence on computers, and take it all in stride.

The students listen anxiously during Red Ribbon Week Kick-off assembly.
by Molly Walleser

Red Ribbon Week is an


annual event in which many
schools around the nation
participate. The Red Ribbon Campaign is a national
campaign that the National
Family Partnership has been
running and organizing since
1985. The campaign raises
awareness of the dangers of
drug use, especially in children and young adults. It
promotes the idea of children
growing up in safe and drugfree environment.

Lansing Middle School


kicked off the annual red ribbon celebration with an assembly for all of the students.
The school welcomed Sheriff
Clark Mellick and Deputy
Stuart Bloxham to speak
about Red Ribbon Week and
their new addition to the Poilice Department, Arrow.
Arrow is a German shepherd and Allamakee Countys
very first police dog. The department just recently flew
him over from Germany

Seniors Sell Fruit


by Erin Rud

The senior trip is set for


May. The seniors have been
doing fundraisers since last
summer. The biggest fundraiser was just held and that
was the fruit sale.
All the fund-raisers held
help students earn money toward the trip to Washington,
D.C. All the money collected
will go toward the students
cost of the trip. The cost for
each student is $650, depending on the events the student
attends on the trip.
One event students have
the choice to attend is a
baseball game. If the student
wants to participate in that
event he or she will have to
raise more money than a student who does not want to attend the game.
For every box of fruit sold,

the students earned $7 and for


each meat, cheese, and cracker box, the students earned
$4. Senior Molly Walleser
was the top seller for both the
number of items sold and the
amount of money raised.
Other fund-raisers held
have included concessions
at the baseball and softball
events over the summer, the
truck and tractor pull held at
last summers Fish Days, and
a quilt raffle.
So far, there are 25 students planning to participate
in the senior trip. Payments
for the trip are made in installments in September, November, and March.
The seniors will be picking up their fruit on December 3, and distributing it that
day.

held at Kee High School

months. Since Arrow is from
Germany, he only understands German commands.
He has only been officially
certified for approximately
a month, but he has already
helped in more than one case
of narcotic possession in the
county.
The kids asked many questions the entire forty minutes of the assembly. Arrow
showed the students many
of his skills
throughout the
assembly and
proved his intelligence and
energy.
Sherriff

The students also showed
their commitment to avoid-

ing drugs by making banners


to decorate the school and put
the message across that the
school is a drug-free zone.
Each day of the week the
students had different dressup days to represent the
pledge to ban drugs from
their lives. For example,
Monday the kids dressed in
camouflage to hide from all
drugs.
Mrs. Heather Nuerhing
said, Its been a beneficial
week for all students.

Deputy Bloxham with Arrow

The Kee High vocal students started their year off


with the vocal festival on
Monday, October 13. After
perfecting their music before
and at the festival, the choir
had a chance to perform,
along with the band, for the
community on October 20.
The concert included choir
and band students in grades
5 through 12. The choir, directed by Mr. Ethan Ivey, performed the same songs that
were performed at the festival.
It was a good opportunity
to have the students perform
and they pulled it together
very well, stated both Mr.

Ivey and Band Director


Amanda Grout agreed.
According to the directors, both the band and vocal
students had very challenging music selections, but had
very nice concert etiquette
and really stepped up to make
their first concert at Kee a
good one.
Before the next concert,
Ms. Grout would like to continue to perfect the students
skills and mindset and Mr.
Ivey would like to use more
dynamic movements. They
will also be inverting the order for the next concert, so
its choir before band.

Getting Technical

by Valerie Meyer

October and November


are busy months when it
comes to standardized testing. ITBS or ITEDS are required tests for third graders through eleventh graders
throughout the state of Iowa.
These tests will be taken in
the district the second week
of November.
ITBS or ITEDs are the
main assessment used for
data placement and progress.
ITEDs are the tests that high
school students are required
to take through eleventh
grade. Students will receive
a final waiver if they show
progress from the year before.
In the month prior to taking the ITBS and ITEDs, juniors and select sophomores

in the district had the opportunity to take the PSAT. Sixteen


students took the test which
qualifies juniors for scholarships that are good for four
years throughout college.
A few days after the
PSATs, juniors and select
sophomores could take the
Armed Services Vocational
Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).
Nine students took test on
October 22.
Kee High Guidance Counselor Jeannine Hisel said the
ASVAB benefits students
that are in need of career direction, or are interested in
a military career. As part of
the results, students are provided with a list of careers fitting the skills for which they
showed an aptitude.

Vocal Festival Experience


by Malerie Mathis

The annual high school


vocal festival took place
on Monday, October 13,
in Elkader at Central High
School. Students practiced all
day and presented a concert
later that night. Twenty-nine
students attended from Kee
High School.
Students spent several
weeks practicing five songs
to prepare for the festival.
Kee students prepared their
own song, as well as the other
four songs that all schools
performed.
The songs sung by all
schools were In Flanders

Fields by Roger Emerson;


Omnia Sol by Z. Randall
Stroope; Corner of the Sky
by Teena Chinn; and Hell
Make a Way by Bryan J.
Smith. Kee students performed Down to the River
to Pray by Sheldon Curry.
Six schools attended the

Kee Klub to Conduct First Project of Year

by Malerie Mathis

Middle school students test out their skills with robots.


by Marquise Phillips

The junior high students


have been given the chance
to work with robots and upcoming technology this 20142015 school year. Mrs. Lisa
Welsh is teacing automation
and robotics during first period and seventh period. She
became certified to teach this
class in 2013.
Mrs.Welsh wants the students to gain knowledge of
what an engineer does and
how gears work. She also
wants the students to know
the difference between a mechanical engineer, electrician,
and programmer. She hopes

she can get the students to


work as a team, and use their
creativity while having fun.
Although she enjoys
teaching the class, she wishes
she had more time to get the
concepts across and for students to complete the work.
I wish the class was longer
than seven weeks.
In the future Mrs.Welsh
wants to go to the Iowa State
engineer convention and do
the robotics challenge.
She feels the class allows
students to work with technology and try something different.

Kee Klub does an event


that helps the community or
somebody in need at least
once every trimester. Molly
Walleser volunteered to take
charge of the first project. She
talked with some teachers
and they discussed different
opportunities to raise money
and to whom the money will
be donated.
The group plans to help
the Randy and Andrea Vin-

son family. Seventh grade


student Gracie Vinson recently had surgery to fix her scoliosis and was in the hospital
much longer than expected.
Kee Klub decided to help the
family by coming up with
fundraiser ideas to help raise

Football Season Draws to Close

Volleyball Season Concludes


by Erin Rud

The Kee Hawks volleyball


team wrapped up their season
with a loss to Turkey Valley
on October 28, in secondround tournament action in
Jackson Junction. The team
played a total of three matches: 25-15, 25-20, and the final
23-25.
Kee High ended their season with a record of 12-7.
They took their first district
win against Central Elkader
on September 16. After the
close game against Turkey
Valley, the team is looking
forward to having a good core
of returning starters next year.
Coach Richie Ellis stated,
I always hate to see seniors
go, but next year we have
girls that can fill their shoes.
According to the coach,
after looking back at the season, some of the weaknesses
the team faced were the
younger girls playing their

first high school game at the


varsity level and the inconsistent play.
The team had to have underclassmen step up and take
the job of playing with more
experienced girls, which they
did very well, but they will
be better next year with some
experience behind them.
The team did come into
the season with four returning starters who put in a great
deal of effort to train the
young team members.
The four seniors this season were: Valerie Meyer playing right side; Molly Walleser
playing right side; Sadie Hill
playing left side; and Nicole
Vinson as a passer.
Thank you to the seniors
for their four years of volleyball effort and taking time in
the off season to make themselves better. This season was
a rollercoaster! We had high

and low moments, but we


ended the season on a good
loss; leading us into a good
season for next year, Coach
Ellis said.
Girls who are interested in
continuing to develop their
skills are encouraged to participate in club volleyball
through the winter season.

On October 23, the cross


country team competed in the
District finals meet at Nashua/Plainfield, but did not successfully advance on to state.
There were seven runners
participating at districts, but
five of the seven runners had
the last race of their running
career.
Senior Sam Hisel has been

a runner for Coach Gary Bottorff throughout high school.


I have enjoyed running
for the four years of my high
school sports career, Sam
said. I personally enjoyed
my sophomore year of running, but every year was fun
to be involved. Sam also
stated that the last race was
great for all of the runners,
and that he plans to run with
intramural sports, but will not
be running with a cross country team. Sam will be attending the University of Iowa in
the fall of 2015.
The rest of the seniors and
the rest of the cross country
team expressed how much
they enjoyed being actively
involved in this sport. The
seniors commented briefly
about how much they enjoyed Frisbee Fridays, being around a good group of
people who enjoyed running,

The Kee Hawks were
good at both running as well
as throwing the ball. The
Hawks had a total of 1224
yards passing and 2274 yards
rushing. Kee High has always
had a strong rushing game.
Along with strengths
come weaknesses. Marquise

Nick Howe dives to make the tackle.

The time of the year has


come when the seniors of Kee
High are frantically trying to
figure out how to approach
the next step in lives. There
are so many stressful steps in
this long process and one of
them is filling out college applications.
When one applies to college, the acceptance is mainly
based on grade point average,
class rank, and ACT or SAT
scores. All of these figures
supposedly indicate the potential for success a student
will have in college. For some,
this may be accurate, but for
most this is nowhere near
an accurate indication of the
kind of person they truly are.
A students personality can be
more valuable than grades.
Some high school students take the bare minimum of what is required to
earn a high school diploma,
which makes it easy to get a
higher grade point average.
Others challenge themselves
with advanced classes and
end up earning a lower grade
than one would earn taking
an easy elective course. One
student might have a higher
grade point average or class
rank than another, but that
student might also have had a

schedule full of said electives.


This shows that grade point
average is not accurate in all
cases. While this is not always
the case, it does happen.
ACT and SAT tests are
meant to prove or disprove
ones preparedness for college,
but they are not the most accurate way to judge a person.
These tests are usually taken
early mornings on a Saturday, and it is unfair to think
the test will determine high
school students readiness
for college. A student could
have been up late the night
before, been too nervous to
eat breakfast, or be a bad test
taker.
Also, when preparing for
these tests, there are different rules one can go by that
are supposed to improve
ones score. These rules go by
statistics figured by experts.
For example, one of the rules
is, When in doubt pick C.
Studies apparently show that
the answer is most like to
be C out of all the choices.
If rules like these make students score higher, then how
does this assessment test ones
ability to do well in college if
the test is somewhat based on
these sorts of tricks?
Some job applications re-

quire a person to take a personality test to see how well


he or she would fit in with the
culture of the work place. It is
meant to test social skills and
personality traits. This helps
employers decipher if a person is fit for real-life experiences and is able to problem
solve.
Colleges should use this
method along with looking at grades in classes when
considering a student for acceptance. Colleges could also
consider the activiities in
which a student is involved.
These activities could include
any sports, clubs, or volunteer work. This would ensure
that admission would not be
based solely on grades, but
also on the kind of personality one has.
Senior year can be stressful enough, but when one has
to worry about getting into
his or her dream college, the
stress begins to reach great
heights. Colleges should not
judge me on a few figures. I
have social skills along with
skills that represent me better than tests. I want colleges
to know that I am more than
a GPA, class ranking, or test
score. I am more than a number.

Coach Chad Winters stated, I would like to see more
students getting involved in
multiple sports instead of just
one. He feels that creates a
more well-rounded athlete.
However, the coach would
like to see his athletes committed to football year-round,
too. I would like to see more

City of Lansing

Regular Council Meeting


Monday, October 20th, 2014
The City Council meeting was
called to order at 7:00 p.m. in
the Council Chambers by Mayor
Brennan. Council members Kolsrud, Wagner, and Roeder were
present. Council members Conway and Darling were absent but
excused. Street Superintendent
Aperans and Police Chief Stahl
were present.
Motion was made by Wagner
and seconded by Kolsrud to approve WHKS as engineering rm.
Ayes: Wagner, Roeder, Kolsrud.
Nays: None. The Mayor declared
the motion carried.
Motion was made by Wagner and seconded by Kolsrud to
approve the Community Needs
Assessment. Ayes: Wagner, Roeder, Kolsrud. Nays: None. The
Mayor declared the motion carried.
Public Hearing was opened
by Mayor Brennan at 7:04 p.m.
for the CDBG Water/Sewer Application. There was no comment
from the crowd or any received
in the City Hall. The application
public hearing must include a review of:
(a) how the need for the proposed activity or projects were
identied:
The need for the CDBG water/sewer grant with the Iowa
Economic Development Authority came from various planning
sessions within the city. The
City of Lansing has experienced
severe water main and sanitary
sewer force main breaks during
freezing winter months in the
South Front Street area. The
water main break at the Clear
Creek Bridge has eliminated
the existing looping of the water
distribution system, resulting in
reduced ows and pressures as
well as decreased water quality
in portions of the system. These
issues have been a chronic maintenance issue for the City, have a
high potential for resulting in lack
of water service and/or sewer
backups into residential basements, and therefore, need to be
addressed soon.
(b) how the proposed activity
or projects will be funded and the
sources of funds:
The request from the Iowa
Economic Development Authority will be $208,650. If successfully funded, the remainder of the
proposed activity will be funded
with $208,650 of local match
from the City of Lansing for a total
project cost of $417,300.
(c) the date the CDBG application will be submitted:
The CDBG water/sewer application will be submitted on or
before November 17, 2014 to the
Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA).
(d) requested amount of federal funds:
The requested amount is
$208,650.
(e) estimated portion of federal funds that will benet persons
of low and moderate income:
Given that a community income survey conducted in
September of 2012, found that
55.64% of Lansings residents
could be considered low and
moderate income persons, it can
be expected that the same pro-

portion of the funds will benet


that group of residents or a total
of 556 persons.
(f) where the proposed activity
or project will be conducted:
The project will be conducted
within the city limits of Lansing.
(g) plans to minimize displacement of persons and businesses
as a result of funded activities or
projects;
No businesses or persons will
be displaced as a result of the
proposed facility upgrades.
(h) plans to assist persons actually displaced:
No plans to displace any persons.
(i) the nature of the proposed
activity or project:
The nature of the proposed
projects within the City of Lansing
is the replacement of an existing
water main and sanitary sewer
force main at the Clear Creek
Bridge via horizontal directional
drilling, installation of a new gravity sanitary sewer main to be collected in a common grinder pump
lift station in the South Front
Street area, and replacement of
an undersized 4-inch diameter
watermain with a new 8-inch diameter watermain in the Valley
Street area.
Public Hearing closed at 7:10
p.m. Motion was made by Wagner and seconded by Kolsrud
to approve Resolution #856 authorizing the submission of the
CDBG Water/Sewer Application
to the Iowa Economic Development Authority. Ayes: Wagner,
Roeder, Kolsrud. Nays: None.
The Mayor declared the motion
carried.
CONSENT AGENDA. Motion
was made by Roeder and seconded by Wagner to approve the
Consent Agenda. Ayes: Wagner,
Roeder, Kolsrud. Nays: None.
The Mayor declared the motion
carried.
Consent Agenda items approved: Council meeting minutes for October 6th, clerk and
treasurers report for September,

Safehouse.
CITIZEN CONCERNS. Placement of Stop signs at the intersection of Valley and 4th Street
has been tabled for further discussion.
Parking on North 2nd Street
was table for further discussion.
Motion was made by Kolsrud
and seconded by Wagner to approve Paul Mannings building
permit. Ayes: Wagner, Roeder,
Kolsrud. Nays: None. The Mayor declared the motion carried.
(Letters were sent to residents in
a 300 ft. area and all that were
received were in favor of the permit.)
NORTH FRONT. Motion was
made by Roeder and seconded
by Kolsrud to reject all bids received for the North Front Street
Project. Ayes: Wagner, Roeder,
Kolsrud. Nays: None. The Mayor
declared the motion carried.

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
follow the Iowa Department 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.

Planning and Zoning


Commission hosting
public forums for input on
industrial sand mining
The Allamakee County Planning and Zoning Commission is holding a series of public forums to encourage and
facilitate citizen input regarding industrial sand mining and
its related impacts. The forums will include presentations
and round table discussions intended to generate public input regarding the scheduled topic and the type and manner
of regulations deemed necessary, if any.
The forums will be held in the Farmers and Merchants
Savings Bank Community Room, located at 201 Main
Street in Waukon, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The forum dates

A total of 83 counties inducted honorees into the


2013 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame
during a ceremony at the 4-H
Exhibits Building at the Iowa
State Fair in Des Moines Sunday, August 18. Among this
year's honorees are Kermit
and Ann Klees for Allamakee
County.
Kermit was a member of
the Jefferson Blacktoppers
4-H Club. While growing
up, he showed sheep at the
county fair. Kermits fondest
memory of the county fair is
that he almost won the Sheep
Showmanship Class.
Ann was not involved with
4-H as a youth, but sees the

importance of the 4-H program. She initially got involved in 4-H to help the
youth with their horses. Ann
has many fond memories of
the youth, teaching them the
horse basics and having fun.
The Kleeses have been

long-time supporters of the


Allamakee County 4-H Program. Their 4-H involvement
has spanned for several years
- from their years as horse
project volunteers, by coordinating horse workouts, and
helping with the county horse

show. They currently share


their love of dairy through
the shared livestock projects.
During the fair, fairgoers can
see Kermit and Ann in the
barns visiting with families
and looking at the livestock.

The 1939 Iowa corn crop,

total crop of 504,236,000
bushels in Iowa. Only in 1932
did an Iowa corn crop exceed

this total and then it was produced on nearly two million


more acres than were planted
to corn this year. The yield of
51.5 bushels to the acre is 5
bushels above any previous
record and two bushels above
the estimate of a month ago.
