Patriot Tour to arrive in
Waukon August 27
Every year thousands of motorcyclists ride for the
members of the military - to show America's support,
thanks, and united pride by carrying one American ag
throughout the country, passing it through all lower 48
states, carried by 100 riders in 100 days. The ride stops
overnight at a Harley-Davidson dealership every night.
That dealers HOG Chapter carries it to another dealer the
next day.
This effort, organized by The Nation of Patriots to pay
tribute to, and honor, all of America's armed forces - past,
present and fallen, is known as The Patriot Tour. Anyone
wishing to learn more about the Patriot Tour can do so at
their website nationofpatriots.com
This year, the Patriot Tour began May 24 during
Memorial Day weekend at Badger Harley-Davidson in
Madison, WI. The ag will complete its full circle and
land back in Madison, WI over Labor Day weekend.
The Patriot ag will arrive at Waukon Harley-Davidson,
carried by the Albert Lea HOG Chapter from Albert Lea,
MN Wednesday, August 27 at approximately 2:30 p.m.
after being escorted through downtown Waukon by the
Waukon Police Department. This will be the Flags only
Iowa stop. The Waukon HOG Chapter has received the
ag and carried it home to Badger Harley-Davidson in
Madison, WI four years in a row, accompanied by members
of the La Crosse HOG Chapter.
This year the schedule requires the ag to remain at
Waukon Harley-Davidson until Saturday, August 30, when
it will leave at 6 a.m. to be carried home to Badger Harley-
Davidson in Madison, WI by members of the Waukon and
La Crosse, WI HOG Chapters.
It is not necessary for a motorcyclist to be a HOG
member to accompany the ag. Anyone wishing to
accompany the ag should contact Waukon HOG Chapter
Director Steve Trumblee at 608-306-0138 before Saturday,
August 30. Anyone wanting to just accompany the Flag
through Waukon Wednesday, August 27 should call before
that day.
Supervisors canvass election results
by Bob Beach
During the regular
meeting of the Allamakee
County Board of Supervisors
Tuesday, August 12, the
Board canvassed the results
of the special election held
August 5 in which voters
were asked if the one-percent
local option sales and service
tax (LOSST) should be
renewed. The Board declared
public measures 'A' through
'F' passed, as voters in
Waukon, New Albin, Harpers
Ferry, Waterville, Postville
and unincorporated areas
overwhelmingly approved the
renewal of the tax. The Board
then set Tuesday, August 26
at 9:15 a.m. as the date and
time for a public hearing on
an ordinance to establish the
local option sales and service
tax in the county.
The Board also met with
County Engineer Brian
Ridenour, who was present
for the opening of bids for
the repair and replacement
of several culverts in the
New Albin Area. Rheim
Construction submitted the
low bid of $125,391.10, which
Ridenour noted was lower
than his estimated of cost
of the project, $154,328.63.
Also bidding on the project
was Reilly Construction
($166,801.00). The Board
approved Rheim's bid on
Ridenour's recommendation.
In other business, the
Board approved a contract
with Covenant Medical
Center for substance abuse
treatment at $675 per day, a
increase of three percent over
the previous contract. The
Board also approved a 28E
agreement with the Northeast
Iowa Response Group and
an addendum to the County's
agreement with Hacker and
Nelson for additional auditing
services resulting from the
county receiving more than
$500,000 in federal funds
during the scal year.
Crowned Junior Miss Corn Days ...
Bailey Shafer, 11-year-old daughter of Bill and Beth
Shafer of Waukon, was crowned Junior Miss Corn Days
during a ceremony in front of Stranded Memories in Wau-
kon Friday, August 15 as part of this year's expanded
Waukon Corn Days celebration. Content organizer Jean
Brink said that contestants were judged not on their ap-
pearance, but on "what's in your heart and in your head."

activities and events over the weekend can be found on

Solemn family tradition entrusted to younger generation
by Maury Gallagher
August 7, 1942 American
naval forces launched their
rst offensive operation in the
South Pacic. The invasion
of Guadalcanal in the
Solomon Islands, code named
Operation Watchtower,
commenced with the rst
salvo of naval gunre coming
from the USS Quincy (CA-
39), a New Orleans class
heavy cruiser. Before the
Marines landed, USS Quincy
inicted damage to an oil
depot and various Japanese
installations on the island.
As the landing commenced,
Quincy continued ring in
support of the landing troops.
Serving on USS Quincy
was a young man from
Melrose, MA, Daniel H.
Galvin, Jr. Galvin was a
Petty Ofcer First Class
Fire Controlman, excited
about ring those big guns
for the rst time in combat.
The initial assault went well,
and the islands airstrip was
in American hands in short
order. However, the Japanese
would reinforce their units,
and Guadalcanal would be the
site of nasty, up close combat
for six more months before
America would prevail.
USS Quincy was sailing
in the company of two other
American heavy cruisers, the
USS Vincennes (CA-44) and
the USS Astoria (CA-34), and
an Australian heavy cruiser,
the HMAS Canberra (D33)
the day after the invasion
commenced. In the early
morning hours of August 9,
1942, Petty Ofcer Galvin
noted the calm waters and
starry sky as he stood watch.
The serenity of the night was
broken around 2 a.m. when he
saw a ship pass through the
wake of his ship. Moments
later, ares from a Japanese
scout plane lit up the sky,
illuminating the cruisers. The
ares were followed, almost
immediately, by a barrage of
gunre and torpedoes from
Japanese cruisers which had
unexpectedly appeared from
shelter behind Savo Island off
the coast of Guadalcanal.
In what would be called
the Battle of Savo Island, all
four allied cruisers would
be destroyed. Hit by gunre
and three torpedoes, Quincy
would be the rst ship to
sink in what would come to
be known as Iron Bottom
Sound because of all the
ships that would eventually
rest there. She was followed
to the bottom twelve minutes
later by the Vincennes. The
Canberra and the Astoria
would sink later that day.
A sailor from Allamakee
County, Kenneth Casey, from
New Albin, went down with
the Astoria. Earlier, he had
been serving on the Battleship
USS California (BB-44) when
it was hit during the attack on
Pearl Harbor. Overall, there
were 939 American sailors
lost in the Battle of Savo
Island.
Daniel Galvin escaped his
sinking ship and was rescued,
after more than ve hours in
the water, by the American
Destroyer USS Ellet (DD-
398). After the war he suffered
with survivors guilt,
believing that he should have
died just as the 389 sailors did
who went down with his ship.
Then one year, on August
9th, the anniversary date of
the sinking of USS Quincy,
he put on his Navy uniform
from WWII, stepped out
onto his front porch, and read
aloud the names of every
sailor lost with the USS
Quincy. He wanted to try to
ensure that those shipmates
would never be forgotten.
For decades he continued
that tradition. This year, at
the age of 93, he no longer
has the strength to continue
on with his remembrance.
But the remembrance will
continue. His grandsons, sons
of his daughter, Maura, and
her husband, Gregg Jones
of Waukon, continued the
tradition. August 9, 2014,
Dolan Jones and Aidan Jones
stood in front of their home
and read the names of their
grandfathers lost shipmates.
A solemn tradition has
been entrusted to a younger
generation.
A tradition of remembrance...
For decades, Daniel H. Galvin, Jr. (inset photos) marked the anniversary of the
sinking of the ship on which he served during World War II, the USS Quincy, by reading
aloud the names of his fallen shipmates. Now 93, Galvin is physically unable to perform
that remembrance, but the tradition is being continued by his grandsons, Dolan and
Aidan Jones, sons of Maura and Gregg Jones of Waukon. Submitted photos.
Groundbreaking ceremony at Alliant Energy generating station ...
Representatives from Alliant Energy, the State of Iowa, the City of Lansing, Allamakee County Economic Development and the Allamakee
County Board of Supervisors participated in a groundbreaking ceremony at the Alliant Energy generating station Monday, August 11, marking the
start of installation of new scrubbers at the facility. Scrubbers reduce the amount of sulfur dioxide emitted by power plants. Standard photo by B.J.
Tomlinson.
Alliant Energy breaks ground on air quality
improvement project at Lansing facility
Environmental technology
to be installed at Alliant
Energy's Lansing Generating
Station is designed to reduce
sulfur dioxide emissions by
approximately 90 percent.
The groundbreaking
ceremony at the Alliant plant
south of Lansing recognized
this achievement for the
environment and Iowans.
The approximately $58
million project is expected
to employ an average of 50
workers during construction
and is scheduled to be
completed in 2015.
"This environmental
project will further our
company's efforts to produce
safe, efcient and responsible
energy for our customers"
said John Larsen, senior
vice-president of Generation
for Alliant Energy.
"Together with our labor
partners, contractors and the
community, we are working
to ensure that Iowa has the
energy needed to grow while
minimizing our impact on the
environment. This includes
transforming our generating
eet to cleaner and more
efcient units."
Employees of Alliant
Energy were joined by
company retirees and local
and state ofcials to celebrate
the event.
The project will include
new scrubbers for the power
plant. Scrubbers reduce the
amount of sulfur dioxide
emitted by power plants.

In 2010, the company
installed new air quality
control technology at the
power plant to reduce
emissions of mercury,
lterable particulate matter
and nitrogen oxide from the
facility.
The air quality
improvement projects at the
Lansing generating station are
part of the company's long-
term energy resource plan.
The plan includes investments
in current generating stations,
the addition of the natural
gas-fueled Marshalltown
Generating Station, renewable
resources and investments in
energy efciency.

"Never provide personal
information or account
numbers during an unsolicited
phone call," Peterson said,
"and never allow anyone
claiming to be a company
representative into your
home without a scheduled
appointment or company-
veried identication."
Black Hills Energy

issued photo ID and drive
logoed vehicles. Employees
will gladly wait outside while
you call the company to

Monday, August 25 Efgy
Mounds National Monument
will celebrate Founders
Day, honoring the founding
fathers of the National Park
Service. To celebrate the 98th
anniversary of the creation
of the Park Service, Efgy
Mounds will present the
one-hour park movie Secret
Yellowstone at 1 p.m. and
visitors will be treated to
National Park birthday cake
and lemonade in the visitor
center after the movie.
The rst national park in
the world was Yellowstone
National Park which was
created in 1872, but there
was no agency to manage
and control the parks. The
National Park Service was
the inspiration of President
Teddy Roosevelt, who
realized that the national
parks should be managed
by one agency rather than a
variety of agencies. Finally
August 25, 1916 the U.S.
Congress established the
National Park Service to
promote and regulate the use
of the national parks
to conserve the scenery and
natural and historic objects
to provide for the enjoyment
of the same in such manner
as will leave them unimpaired
for the enjoyment of future
generations.
Efgy Mounds National
Monument preserves
prehistoric American Indian
burial and ceremonial
mounds, including some in
the shape of animals. The
monument's main entrance
is located three miles north
of Marquette and 22 miles
south of Waukon on Highway
76. The visitor center is open
daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Hiking trails are open from
dawn until dusk. For more

The Upper Explorerland
Regional Planning Com-
mission's Transportation
Enhancement Committee
is collecting opinions from
area trail users on its region-
al trail system. As part of an
ongoing project to develop
data about who is using the
trail and why, trail users are
encouraged to take an online
survey to share their thoughts
on these trails.
The survey is available at:
www.surveymonkey.com/s/
NEIowaTrailUser. At var-
ious times this past spring
and summer, trail users may
have noticed Committee vol-
unteers on the trails, taking a
Trail User Survey now
available to the public
user count and asking opin-
ions about the trail. Anyone
who missed the survey on
a trail count day is asked to
consider taking it online.
Regional counts will be
taken three times a year, so
look for volunteers again this
fall at several trail locations
throughout the ve-county
region. For additional in-

The 2014 Waukon girls golf
team elded an overall young
squad that saw several different
players take leadership roles in
the Indians' nal meet results
throughout the season. The
Tribe lady linksters competed
against some strong competition
in addition to Mother Nature
this season, as a handful of
meets were either rescheduled
or canceled due to wet or wintry
weather. The Lady Indians
ultimately ended their season
with just a single dual meet
victory over Oelwein, a team
they also nished in front of in
placing sixth in the Northeast
Iowa Conference Tournament
before wrapping up their season
with an eighth-place nish at
their Class 3A First Round
Regional Tournament.
Just two seniors were the
upperclassmen leaders for
this year's squad, as Haylee
Rathbone and Taylor Sholes
wrapped up their high school
careers with completion of
this season. The Indians had
anywhere from a freshman to
a junior leading them on the
course in this season's nal
competition results, making
optimism run high for next
season's returnees.

Waukon City Council hears further
complaints about Third Street NE
by Bob Beach
During its regular meeting
Monday, August 18, the Wau-
kon City Council heard con-
tinuing complaints and con-
cerns from residents of Third
Street NE, where the paving
of the street has caused rain-
water drainage problems that
remain unresolved. Resident
Steve Paul told the Council
that he had been told that City
Code requires sidewalks to be
above curb level and asked
why, if that is case, the street
was raised above the sidewalk
on the west side of the street.
Lyle TeKippe, the engi-
neer for the project, said that
there are other places in town
where the sidewalk is situated
below curb level. He said that
sometimes it makes sense to
keep the existing sidewalks
in place and in this case, the
street level was raised on the
west side to allow for a stan-
dard street cross section.
Paul again asked why, if
the City Code requires the
sidewalk to be above the
street, was the street allowed
to be constructed as it was.
"Was the City Attorney sleep-
ing on the job?" he asked.
City Attorney Jim Garrett
responded that he had nev-
er been asked to review the
plans and specications of
any street project, and even if
he had, not being an engineer,
would not have the knowl-
edge or expertise to decipher
them.
Paul also expressed dis-
pleasure at plans to replace
the grass in the boulevard
with drainage stone. "I'll
paint it green if they put rock
in there," he said.
Another Third Street NE
homeowner, former Waukon
Mayor Keith Schroeder, said
that the Council had faced a
similar issue during the plan-
ning phase of the paving of
Second Street. Schroeder
said that a home owner had
requested raising of the street
level to improve driveway
access, but the Mayor and
the Council had told him no,
because the street level would

then be higher than the side-
walk on the other side of the
street.
Schroeder went on to say
that weeds, rather than grass,
have grown where the con-
tractor backlled and reseed-
ed after the paving project
was complete, adding that he
had seen chunks of concrete
left in yards covered by a
couple of inches of dirt. He
told the Council that all pay-
ments for the project should
be stopped until the problems
are corrected.
TeKippe said he and Coun-
cilman Steve Wiedner had
intended to meet personally
with all of the homeowners on
Third Street NE over the past
two weeks, but that Wiedner
had family situations that in-
tervened. TeKippe said that
he is still willing to meet in-
dividually with home owners
in order to discuss any issues
and nd solutions to the prob-
lems on a case-by-case basis.
The Council then turned
its attention to the West Side
Development Project. May-
or Loren Beneke said that to
date, the City had not been
approached by any developer
who wished to make use of
the land where the Town and
Country Trailer Court used to
be. He said that the City had
been approached by the Al-
lamakee Community School
District about using a portion
of the property for its home
construction program, pro-
posing to build ve houses
over ve years.
Joe Cunningham, repre-
senting the Waukon Econom-
ic Development Corporation
(WEDC), told the Council
that WEDC is prepared to
facilitate the purchase of the
building lots, though neither
the school district nor WEDC
currently has funds available
to purchase the rst such lot.
He proposed that the City
could deed the lot to WEDC
for one year without interest
until the house is construct-
ed and sold. Alternatively, he
said that WEDC could bor-
row the money for the lot.
The Council agreed to
move forward with transfer-
ring the rst lot to WEDC at
no interest. The Council then
approved several other items
to continue moving forward,
passing a resolution to ap-
prove the West Side Develop-
ment plat, a resolution to sell
the lot the to WEDC and set-

ting a public hearing for Sep-
tember 2 regarding the sale
of the property. The Council
also set September 15 as the
date for "consultation" on the
sale as required by Iowa law
and approved a waiver of the
building permit fee for the
school's home construction
project.
The Council also met with
Allamakee Economic Devel-
opment Executive Director
Laura Olson, who told the
Council that she had met with
representatives from Aveka
who asked for the City's help
in funding the installation of
equipment to alleviate the
smell sometimes produced
by the facility. She said that
Aveka is willing to make its
nancial records available
in order to demonstrate its
need for nancial assistance,
but would need to know who
would review those docu-
ments and would like to have
a non-disclosure agreement
in place before making those
records available. City At-
torney Jim Garrett suggest-
ed that Dennis Lyons, who
is Aveka's banker, might be
well suited to review those
records. Mayor Beneke noted
that Aveka has not previously
received any nancial assis-
tance from the City.
Council voted to terminate
the current lease for agricul-
tural land near the airport in
order to seek new bids. The
Council also voted to accept

garding the Fruechte building

directed TeKippe to develop
plans and specications for

Consultant assesses tourism in Lansing
by B.J. Tomlinson
The Main Street Lansing
(MSL) Board, MSL Com-
mittees, Lansing residents,
retailers, lodging and facility
proprietors and managers of
local tourist attractions met
with a tourism consultant the
week of July 28. The con-
sultant, Donna Harris from
Heritage Consulting, was
provided by Main Street Iowa
to assess Lansings tourism
potential. MSL had requested
help back in February from
the Des Moines Main Street
Iowa ofce to address the
unique needs of a small town
with little industry and no
airport or major highways.
Others attending and partici-
pating in the tech visit were
Jim Thompson and Terry
Buschkamp from Main Street
Iowa; Shawna Lode, Iowa
State Tourism Manager; Car-
rie Koelker, Director of East-
ern Iowa Tourism; and Laura
Olson and Ardis Kuhse, Al-
lamakee Economic Develop-
ment and Tourism.
Harris spent three and a
half days meeting with the
various groups to understand
the current conditions affect-
ing tourism and then, using
the methodology and prin-
ciples of the National Trust
for Historic Preservation, she
will provide recommenda-
tions to expand the potential
for Lansing to host more visi-
tors.
The rst of the principles
is collaboration, Harris said,
Building partnerships is es-
sential, not just because they
help develop local support,
but also because tourism
depends on the active par-
ticipation of political leaders,
business leaders, operators of
tourist sites, artists and crafts-
people, hotel/motel operators
and many other groups...
MSL Board member Joe
Papp said the program is
meant to include not only
Main Street businesses, but
all attractions and services
in the area, and that promot-
ing tourism can appreciably
increase city revenues and
tax base; both will help re-
duce the tax burden on local
residents. Papp said he was
impressed with Harris ap-
proach. Her approach was
refreshing and she did a good
job of learning about Lansing
by listening to the people of
Lansing.
Harris will return to Lan-
sing later in August to report
her ndings and offer early
action recommendations and
implementation suggestions.
All interested persons are en-
couraged to watch for an an-
nouncement of the date and
time of her report and to par-
ticipate in the program.

Farmers market coupons available
Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey
recently announced that
Farmers Market Nutrition
Program applications are
now available for eligible
WIC recipients and low-
income older Iowans.
The WIC Farmers Market
Nutrition and Senior Farmers
Market Nutrition Programs
provide eligible Iowans
with checks that can be
redeemed for fresh, locally
grown produce at authorized
farmers markets and farm
stands through October 31 of
this year.
Iowa has great fresh
fruits and vegetables that can
be found at farmers markets
throughout the state and
these programs are designed
to give WIC participants and
low-income seniors better
access to these fresh and
nutritious foods, Northey
said.
The Farmers Market
Nutrition Programs are
administered through
the Iowa Department of
Agriculture and Land
Stewardship, in partnership
with the Iowa Department
of Public Health and Iowa
Department on Aging. For
more information contact
Paul Ovrom, Program
Administrator, at 515-242-
6239 or at Paul.Ovrom@
iowaagriculture.gov.
The WIC Farmers Market
Nutrition Program provides
eligible WIC recipients
with nine checks valued at
$3 each. The program is
implementing two changes
for the 2014 season. This year
checks will be distributed
on a rst-come, rst-served
basis. Eligible individuals
may pick up checks at
arranged appointments or at
regularly scheduled clinic
appointments.
A second change this
year is that checks will be
distributed on a statewide
basis. Previously, checks
were only distributed in
68 of Iowas 99 counties,
but this year the Iowa
Department of Agriculture
and Land Stewardship and
Iowa Department of Public
Health have broadened the
distribution to include the
entire state.
A combination of state and
federal funds will be used to
make benets available to
more than 23,000 eligible
WIC recipients this year.
Eligible individuals include
children ages one through
four, pregnant women, and
breastfeeding women that
participate in Iowas WIC
Program.
The states 20 local
WIC agencies have begun
to distribute checks and
nutritional education
information. WIC recipients
interested in obtaining the
benets are encouraged to
contact their local WIC clinic
or visit www.idph.state.ia.us/
wic/ for more information.
Were pleased that WIC
recipients throughout the
state can now acquire these
Farmers Market Nutrition
Program checks, Northey
said. And allowing the
checks to be issued on
a rst-come rst-served
basis should help to get
the checks to those folks
that are the most excited
about purchasing local fresh
produce from vendors at
Iowas farmers markets.
The Senior Farmers
Market Nutrition Program
provides eligible seniors
with ten checks for $3 each.
Applicants throughout the
state are offered the checks
on a rst-come rst-served
basis and the checks are
available through Area
Agency on Aging ofces.
A combination of state and
federal funds will be used to
make benets available to
more than 20,000 eligible
seniors this year.
Eligible seniors must
be 60 years of age or older
with a household income
less than $21,590 if single
or $29,101 for a married
couple. Iowa seniors will
be asked to complete a one-
page application verifying
their eligibility, by providing
their birth dates and the last
four digits of their social
security numbers.
The Area Agencies on
Aging (AAA) have begun
to distribute checks and
nutritional education
information. To nd an Area
Agency on Aging nearby,

The Lansing City Coun-
cil met in regular session
Monday night, August 18.
The Council reviewed and
approved the nal plan from
WHKS Engineering for the
North Front Street Water and
Sewer project which is to be
completed this fall. Engineer
Kevin Draves said the nal
cost, which had been esti-
mated between $200,000 and
$250,000 will cost slightly
over $300,000 after adding in
contingencies and nancing.
A public notice and requests
for bids will be sent to con-
tractors immediately; the bid
letting date was set for Sep-
tember 15 at 3 p.m. An as-
sessment hearing with land-
owners was scheduled for
September 2. Additionally, a
bid letting date for the Black-
hawk Alley/Valley Street
project was set for September
2 at 3 p.m. Draves also said
the Clear Creek Bridge proj-
ect would be completed be-
fore winter.

Penny Adair asked the
Councils permission to clear
trees and shrubs from the
property at 1000 Valley Street
and then take them to the City
burn site. The request was ap-
proved.

Kevin Conway addressed
the Council regarding a nui-
sance abatement letter he
received from the City be-
cause of a tractor parked on
his property at 70 S. Second
Street. He said the tractor was
registered, insured and oper-
able, that he should not have
received the letter and that
the City should apologize. He
also suggested that landown-
ers be notied before being
sent a letter. Police Chief Ed
Stahl said the license plate
could not be seen from the
road and that it was unlawful
for ofcials to trespass on pri-
vate property to investigate.
Mayor Mike Brennan formal-
ly apologized to Conway.

The Council discussed a
written request from Dave
Larsen to provide a handi-
capped parking space in front
of his residence at 701 Main
Street, stating that others are
parking there and that he
doesnt have room to park.
The Council stated the park-
ing area is a public street and
that anyone can park there,
just like all the other streets
in Lansing. No action was
taken.

Allamakee County Vision-
ing Group (ACVG) Chairman
Barb McPherson addressed
the Council asking for help
mowing and weed whack-
ing on the hill by Blackhawk
Bridge. She said that because
she spends all her time mow-
ing she doesnt have time to
tend the plants or do any fur-
ther landscaping. She said,
If I cant get the quack grass
pulled, the special mainte-
nance free grass we planted
wont take over and the parcel
wont be maintenance free
next year. McPherson said
the volunteers who worked on
the hill last year had disap-
peared and she has very little
help. She went on to remind
the Council that according to
the contract with the Depart-
ment of Transportation and
agreements between the City,
the ACVG and the Allamakee
County Community Founda-
tion (ACCF), the City will be
responsible for maintenance
of the hill after this year.
Mayor Brennan said they
certainly did not want the
hill to go back to its former
unkempt state. The Council
and McPherson discussed the
possibility of providing an
additional Luster Heights in-
mate to help with the mowing
one day a week until winter.
Street Superintendent Jerry
Aperans said inmates were
in short supply and he didnt
know if he could get another
one; Councilman Dick Ro-
eder said he would check into
the possibility.

Library Board President
Dan Fisher and several Mee-
han Library Board members
addressed the Council re-
garding the recent relocation
of the can recycling bin from
South Front Street to South
Fourth Street. The Council
voted at a previous meet-
ing to move the site because
of complaints about the un-
sightly overowing bin, cans
blowing into the river, and,
because of the location, cre-
ating a trafc hazard. Board
member Rita Heim said the
Library Board was not noti-
ed of any of the complaints
and asked if a more visible
site could be found. She said
no one is using the bin at the
new location, which meant
the Library would lose the
approximately $3,000 annual
revenue, which is used to pay
the librarys insurance pre-
mium. The Council agreed to
cooperate with the Library to
nd a more suitable recycling
site.

Council reviewed and ap-
proved a driveway permit for
Ben and Jessica Verdon.

ACSD Board meets on rst day of school; Progress report reveals schools added to "watch lists"
by Brianne Eilers
The Allamakee
Community School District
(ACSD) Board of Directors
met for its regular monthly
meeting Monday night,
August 18, which also
coincided with the rst day
of the new school year.
The consensus among
administrators and staff was
that the rst day of school
went very well.
During the
Superintendent's report,
ACSD Superintendent Dave
Herold noted that the Annual
Progress Report has been
completed, and will be sent
out to all constituents in
the district in the coming
weeks. The unofcial
enrollment numbers do show
that enrollment is down 34
students for the 2014-2015
school year. However, that
number could change either
way, as the ofcial count
will not be taking place until
October. He also updated
the Board on the upcoming
house project to be built by
the Waukon High School
Construction class. The
house will be located near the
Waukon Wellness Center.
Waukon High School
Principal Dan Diercks and
Construction instructor Jed
Hemann were attending
the Waukon City Council
meeting that same Monday
night to ask the Council to
waive the building permit
fee and also to answer any
questions City of Waukon
ofcials might have on the
project. Herold also touched
on concerns about existing
electrical, water and sewage
lines that are located in
the area where the home is
being built, and informed the
Board that the City would be
removing the old lines as part
of infrastructure updating.
Waterville Elementary
School and Waukon Junior
High School Principal
Joe Grifth noted that
junior high sports and after
school activities would be
beginning. He said that the
junior high dance held as part
of the Corn Days festivities
this past weekend had a good
attendance, and he expects
that attendance to go up in the
future, as they will be able
to better communicate the
date and time with students.
West and East Elementary
Principal Ann Hart reported
that teachers are setting up
parent information meetings
and that staff members are
getting ready for reading
assessments.
Waukon High School
Assistant Principal and
Activities Director Jennifer
Garin noted that staff had
attended Professional
Learning Community (PLC)
training last week. The
student laptops were also
rolled out Monday morning
for grades 8-12 as part of the
rst day of school. "The kids
were pretty excited," noted
Garin. She also informed
the Board that the Sports
Drink scrimmage games are
scheduled for this Friday
for the high school athletic
teams, weather permitting.
The Allamakee Athletic
Booster Club will also hold
its membership drive at
that time. Homecoming is
scheduled for September 26
this year.
During the curriculum
report, Gretchen DeVore
explained that the PLC
training that took place in
Decorah was also attended by
staff of the Decorah, Charles
City, Turkey Valley and North
Winneshiek Community
School Districts. Dr. Tom
Manning of Solution Tree
was the speaker. DeVore
noted that she had received
positive feedback and felt
that the training was well-
received.
On the buildings and
grounds front, the sprinkler
systems and re extinguishers
within the district's buildings
have all been inspected
and passed inspection.

Help Children Ease into
New Grade
As families welcome the
new school year, sometimes
parents can forget a childs
need to ease into a new grade.
The child who enters
school this fall is not the same
one who started this time
last year. He or she may be
different physically, mentally
and emotionally. Your child
also may be in a different
class with a different teacher,
maybe even in a different
building or school.
Children who did well last
year probably will do ne
this year. However, children
are susceptible to pressures in
school. Adjusting to change
can affect their school work,
at least for a while.
During these rst few
weeks of school, you need
to be patient. Show your
understanding for any
adjustments your child
has to make. Offer lots of
encouragement and support.
Parents who have
particular concerns or worries
should share them with their
childs teacher. While some
children may nd change
hard, in time most children
will adjust just ne. Adults
can help ease the transition
from home and summer fun
to school and studies.
Here are some additional
hints:
Treat school as a normal
activity - dont give the
impression there is any
choice about whether or not a
child goes to school. If your
child says, Im not going,
calmly let him or her know
you hear the concerns about
school and will help him or
her work through them.
Let children talk about
school. Remember, all
feelings are acceptable so
dont force them to be happy
or excited. They may be
disappointed, upset or even
frightened. Answer honestly
all questions about school
and what to expect. It is the
unknown that is frightening
to children.
Enlist the help of siblings
and other adults. Dont let
them scare children with
stories of how terrible
school is or share their
own bad experiences. Also,
allow plenty of time to talk
about the days events after
everyone gets home. Dont
push too hard for information,
but promote an atmosphere
where children will feel
comfortable about sharing
what happened at school.

The end of summer and
the start of a new school year
is an exciting time for most
children. But for some, the
beginning of school could
reveal a dark secret when
signs of abuse and neglect
these children have suffered
over the summer are noticed
by teachers, staff and other
parents.
Because children
are subject to less adult
supervision over the summer,
its not uncommon for reports
of suspected abuse and
neglect to spike at the start of
the school year, said Kerry
Brennan, CASA Program
Coordinator.
Many of the children who
are conrmed as victims are
removed from their homes
and placed into foster care
often far from their friends,
families and schools. CASA
(Court Appointed Special
Advocates) volunteers from
CASA are specially screened
and trained to speak up for
abused and neglected children
who, through no fault of their
own, end up in the foster care
system.
Being uprooted from
their homes and families is
scary for these children. We
at CASA want to make sure
that they do not get lost in
the overburdened foster care
system, Brennan said. For
that reason, we need more
people in our community to
speak up and make sure these
childrens voices are heard.
Beginning of school year
often reveals signs of
child abuse and neglect
We want to help ensure that
their stay in foster care is
as short as possible and that
they are placed in safe, loving
homes quickly so they can
begin to heal.
There are more children in
the child protection system in
northeast Iowa than there are
CASA volunteers to advocate
for their best interests.
Too many children are
forced to go through the
chaos of moving through
the child protection system
alone, Brennan said. CASA
needs more volunteers to step
up and be a voice for children
who desperately need them.
CASA volunteers
advocate for childrens needs
in court and in the child
welfare system. They help
them through their struggles
in foster care or relative
placement. Their number one
goal is to help the children
nd safe, loving families.
We need more dedicated
CASA volunteers to walk
with children every step
of the way and ensure that
they are placed into safe,
permanent homes as quickly
as possible, Brennan said.
This school year, become
a CASA volunteer and help
children in need nd safe,
permanent homes. For more

NEIA Regional Housing Trust
Fund to hold annual meeting
The Northeast Iowa Regional Housing Trust Fund will hold
its annual meeting Thursday, August 21 at 3:30 p.m. at the
Upper Explorerland Conference Room, located at 134 West
Greene Street in Postville. All area residents are invited to
attend this public meeting to learn about the Trust Fund and
its application procedures, and about the type of home repair
projects funded thus far. Feedback on the program's Housing
Assistance Plan is important to the process, and copies will be
available for review.
Elementary has two separate
water shut-offs now to better
control any problems that
school might have, instead
of shutting off water to the
entire building.
Technology Director
Shawn Gordon noted that a
total of 536 computers were
distributed to students this
year so far. He also noted that
a help desk will be available
from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily
for students with computer
issues.
Superintendent Herold
gave a presentation on the
Annual Progress Report,
which has to be done as a
part of the No Child Left
Behind Act. Last year, East
Elementary was put on the
SINA (School In Need of
Assistance) list for math, and
he reported that the school
has now met its math goal for
the year, but will still remain
on the list as schools have
to meet their goal for two
consecutive years in order to
be removed from the list.
However, West Elementary
is now on a watch list for
reading, while the junior
high is on a list for math and
the high school (11th grade,
specically) is on a list for
reading. The district will
continue to monitor progress
in areas of math and reading,
as well as using professional
development, data analysis
and other tools at its disposal
to keep students able to meet
the goals set at the Federal
level. Herold also gave a
report on ACT levels, noting
that students in the ACSD are
either at or just slightly below
State levels.
Under old business, the
Board approved the second
reading of the following
board policies: 601.1 School
Calendar; 601.2 School Day;
803.1 Disposition of Obsolete
Equipment, and 502.10 Use
of Motor Vehicles. Under
new business, the Board
accepted the hiring of Joe
O'Neill (head varsity softball
coach), Kristi Fletcher (7.5
hours per day associate),
Debbie Rissman (5.75 hours
per day associate), Jackie
Johnson (5.75 hours per
day associate), Matt Teslow
(substitute bus driver),
Brent Beyer (volunteer
cross country coach), Dave
Schoeberlein (assistant
football coach), Scott Ness
(volunteer football coach),
Ken West (driver education)
and 21st Century After School
Program personnel. The
Board also accepted several
resignations, including Julie
VanderVelden (associate
position at Waterville),
MaKenzie Slaght (associate
position at West), Mark E.
Young (substitute bus driver),
Andy Sires (assistant baseball
coach), Cassie German Lane
(associate), and Ben Rausch
(assistant boys' basketball
coach).
The Board also approved
the purchase of new
volleyball equipment, part
of which will be paid by the
Booster Club, for $5,800.
The Booster club will cover
$2,510 of the cost, and the
equipment will ensure that
the district's volleyball nets
meet regulation standards.
The Treasurer's Annual
Report was also approved, as
were bus routes for the 2014-
2015 school year.
Participation in a drumline
clinic Sunday, September 21
was approved. The Iowa State
University drumline members
will be working with each
performing drumline, as well
as performing themselves.
The event will be hosted by
the Decorah High School
Band department.
The Teacher Quality/
Professional Development
Administrative Team of Dave
Herold, Dan Diercks, Jen
Garin, Gretchen DeVore, Joe
Grifth and Ann Hart was
approved, and all members are
the same as last year. Gruhn
Law Firm was approved
as the school attorney. The
Board also approved a
foreign exchange student to
attend the ACSD. The nal
matter before adjournment
was the approval to hold the
September board meeting
at Waterville Elementary
School, with a tour of the
school prior to the meeting.
TIRE MAINTENANCE
AN IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTION
Tires are the link between a vehicle and the roadway, and tire quality
has a direct impact on the performance and safety of an automobile. But tire
maintenance is easy to overlook. However, ignoring tire maintenance can
threaten driver and passenger safety and make a vehicle operate inefciently.
Steering, breaking ability and traction are all governed by good tires.
Worn tread can result in longer stopping times and make it difcult to brake
immediately in an emergency situation. Although driving tends to be the primary
culprit behind worn down tires, sometimes bald or unevenly worn out tread is
indicative of a larger problem, such as a misaligned wheelbase, improperly
aligned tires or tires that are underinated. The following are some common
problems associated with tires and how to address these issues should they
arise.
Blowouts
Worn tire treads increase the risk of punctures, which can lead to blowouts.
Bald tires also may blowout as a result of friction on roadways that is met with
minimal rubber. Getting caught on the side of the road with a tire blowout can
be a hassle, so routinely check tire treads and replace tires accordingly.
Tread depth
Average new tires on cars usually start with 10/32 inch to 11/32 inch
of original tread depth. When tread reaches a depth of 2/32 inch, they are
considered worn out. There are different ways to gauge tread depth. Insert a
penny into the tread groove with Lincolns head upside down and facing you. If
you can see all of Lincolns head, it is time to replace the tires. Another coin test
is to insert a quarter into the groove. If the tread touches Washingtons head,
you have at least 4/32 inch of tread left. Dont have any currency on hand?
Then look at the treadwear indicator bar molded into the tires. When these bars
become ush with the adjacent ribs of the tire, the tires should be replaced.
Alignment
According to the Rubber Manufacturers Association, improper alignment
causes rapid or uneven treadwear. Tires should be aligned and balanced
periodically to avoid irregular wear and having to replace tires prematurely.
Tread pattern
Tires feature different tread patterns depending on the brand of tire. They
may be directional, asymmetrical, nondirectional, and directional/asymmetrical.
When purchasing replacement tires, it is adviseable to match the tread pattern
to the existing tires. This helps enhance the performance of the car. In fact,
some newer cars require tread to match. Mismatched treads may cause
problems with transmission shifting or impact control and steadiness.
Tire pressure
Underination of tires can cause failure, stress and irregular wear.
Underinated tires also may contribute to loss of control that leads to accidents.
Always maintain the manufacturers recommendations for the correct pressure,
which should be adjusted based on the temperature.
Tires should undergo the same inspection and maintenance as other
parts of the vehicle. Tires are a vital component to safe driving, and routine
maintenance can prevent accidents and other problems.

ter, which is currently under
construction. The mascots
are large dog and large cat
berglass statues decorated
by Faith Villardo (Decorah
High School Class of 2014)
and Laurel Fadness (Decorah
High School Class of 2016).
The winners of the contest
will have their names on a
plaque at the Adoption Cen-
ter. To enter the contest go to
the HSNEI website at hsnei.
org. Contestants must decide

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

The 2014 Waukon softball season played
out to a 7-25 overall season record that
included a mark of 2-16 against Northeast
Iowa Conference opponents that placed the
Indians in seventh place in the nal seven-
team league standings. An overall young
squad sometimes featured as many as
three sophomores and three freshmen in
the Tribes starting line-up at certain points
throughout this season. The softball Indians
opened their season with a victory and
enjoyed a four-game winning streak about
midway through the season, but struggled
through a pair of seven-game losing streaks
in the latter half of the season before having
their season ended in the opening round
of Class 3A Regional Tournament play by
Crestwood by a 9-1 nal result.
Junior pitcher Thea Meyer was the lone
Indian to earn All-Conference honors this
season. She received Honorable Mention for
her efforts in the pitching circle throughout
the year.
Just three seniors led this years team
to its season result. Kiersten Christianson,
Jenna Jones and McKayla Stock each played
their nal games in a Waukon uniform with
completion of this season.

VMH and Quillins Food Ranch bring
easy nutrition choices to customers
There are thousands of products on the grocery
store shelves to choose from. Determining which
product is the healthiest for you and your family can
be challenging since package labels are often hard-
to-read, confusing and sometimes misleading.
Veterans Memorial Hospital and Quillins are
teaming up to make healthier choices easier while
grocery shopping. It is a new and simple tool right on
the shelf price tag; nothing to calculate. The system is
called NuVal. It rates each food on a 1 to 100 scale,
with 1 being the least nutritious and 100 being the
most nutritious food. It takes the guesswork out of
eating healthy.
The NuVal Nutritional Scoring System was designed
by medical and nutritional experts in response to
the rapidly rising rates of obesity and diabetes. The
scoring equation simply weighs generally favorable
nutrients such as ber, Omega-3 fats, and other
vitamins against less favorable nutrients such as
saturated fats, sodium, and added sugar to come up
with the score of a product. The higher the score, the
better the nutrition.
This program can be used by anyone at any age.
Customers can simply come in and compare scores on
the shelf tags of everyday items. This gives customers
the ability to easily make healthier eating choices
while shopping at Quillins. NuVal is just another great
tool Veterans Memorial Hospital and Quillins can offer
to customers to better their health. In fact, a Harvard
study concluded that those who followed diets with
higher NuVal scoring foods have lower risks of chronic
disease and have a better chance of living a longer,
healthier life.
The Quillins in Waukon will be the rst store using
this program. We encourage customers to stop by
and let us show you how to utilize NuVal. A Veterans
Memorial Hospital dietitian will be available for
answering questions at Quillins every Thursday and
Friday, free store tours every Thursday in September
from 1pm-3pm and 5pm-6pm, and Try-it Fridays with
free food samples.
To learn more about NuVal, visit Quillins Food
Ranch in Waukon, call 563-568-3316 or contact
Shelby Byrnes, RD/LD, registered Dietitians at
Veterans Memorial Hospital by calling 563-568-3411

There are two ways to enhance our chances of survival: robustness and resiliency. Robustness is a measure of how much damage can be done to an organism and it will still function. Plants are robust because they can lose
their leaves and the majority of their limbs and yet survive. Resiliency refers to the ability of an organism to adapt to changing circumstances. A tropical plant may be robust, but it wont survive in a harsh environment
such as a desert. Human beings are hardy because we combine robustness with resiliency. We are robust insofar as we can survive without our teeth, could lose a few limbs, and some of our vital organs are paired, such
as the kidneys and lungs, allowing us to survive with just one of them. Though not as robust as plants, we are more resilient, since we adapt well to change, as evidenced by our living in virtually every environment on the
planet. Religion is one of the tools that help us to adapt. The Bible is full of advice on how to get along under trying circumstances. The early Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and then had to survive in the desert, and even
once they were established as a nation, they were surrounded by hostile neighbors. This remains true for them today, and there is a lesson here on the value of resiliency and robustness. Increase your robustness by staying
healthy and increase your resiliency by being adaptive. - Christopher Simon Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave. Exodus 18:20

Allamakee County
SWCD project helps
landowners include
conservation in land leases
The Allamakee County Soil and Water Conservation
District (SWCD) currently has a project to help landown-
ers include conservation in their farm leases by updating
their NRCS conservation plan(s) and plan maps to include
them as an addendum to the farm lease. This free service is
available to anyone in Allamakee County. Since there is an
active watershed project in the Waterloo Creek Watershed,
the SWCD would especially like to encourage Waterloo
Creek landowners in both the Iowa and Minnesota portions
of the watershed to consider participating in this project.
This project helps to facilitate discussion between the land-
owners and tenants regarding their goals and priorities for
the land.
By including a conservation plan and map in the lease,
both the landowner and renter know where specic con-
servation practices should be installed and maintained. By
having this information written down and drawn out on a
map, there is less confusion in the future. Much of the land
in Allamakee County is highly erodible (HEL) and produc-
ers are required to follow a Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) approved conservation system on the HEL
acres in order to be eligible for USDA Program benets.
Those with an interest in participating in this project or
who would like more information amy contact Sara Berges
at the Allamakee SWCD by calling 563-568-2246 ext. 3,
emailing sara.berges@ia.nacdnet.net, or by visiting the of-
ce at 635 9th St. NW in Waukon.

ARC/PLC First Step Process
The Kansas City ofce has
sent letters out to all land-
owners with their commodity
acreage history for the years
2009-2012. All landowners/
operators are to review the
history presented in this let-
ter.
If there are any years miss-
ing reported acres, contact
the Allamakee County FSA
Ofce. Reasons there may
be years missing are if part
of the farm was sold, part of a
parcel (tract) was transferred
into a farm or transferred out
of a farm/tract of the county
and/or other situations not
mentioned here.
This is the rst step in for
the Allamakee FSA Ofce to
research each farm missing
data. There are approximate-
ly 2102 farms in Allamakee
County. This step will allow
owners to update or retain the
current base and yields. Bases
will not be increased, but can
be reallocated. There will be
more information to come.
For more information, con-
tact the Allamakee County
FSA Ofce at 563-568-2148.

Program (LFP)
Eligible livestock types
under LFP include alpacas,
beef cattle, buffalo, beefalo,
dairy cattle, deer, elk, emus,
equine, goats, llamas, poultry,
reindeer, sheep or swine that
have been or would have been
grazing the eligible grazing

ing period for the specic
type of grazing land or pas-
tureland for the county, or;
When the federal agency
excluded the livestock pro-
ducer from grazing the nor-
mally permitted livestock on
the managed rangeland due
to re.
For grazing losses that oc-
curred between October 1,
2011 through December 31,
2014, sign-up began April 15,
2014 and will end January 30,
2015. For 2015 and subse-
quent calendar years, produc-
ers must provide a completed
application for payment and
required supporting docu-
mentation to their FSA ofce
within 30 calendar days after
the end of the calendar year
in which the grazing loss oc-
curred.
The producer should in-
clude a copy of the grower
contract if the producer is
a contract grower and any
other supporting documents
required for determining
eligibility. Supporting docu-
ments must show evidence
of loss, current physical loca-
tion of livestock in inventory,
evidence that grazing land
or pastureland is owned or
leased and evidence that if the
loss of grazing was due to a
re that the producer was pro-
hibited by the federal agency
from grazing the normal per-
mitted livestock on the man-
aged rangeland due to a re.
Contact the Allamakee
County FSA Ofce for more
information at 563-568-2148.
Early Contract Termination
Provisions - CRP
The Agricultural Act of
2014 requires that the Secre-
tary offer producers the op-
portunity for an early out
for certain CRP contracts
during FY 2015, if those
contracts have been in effect
for at least ve years. June 5,
2014 USDA announced its
intent to offer early outs.
The early out option will
be available to CRP partici-
pants with acreage devoted to
certain practices that meet el-
igibility criteria. The sign-up
period for CRP participants
to terminate acreage under
the early out provisions is
August 6, 2014 through Janu-
ary 30, 2015. Effective dates
for early outs shall be no
earlier than October 1, 2014.
Contracts must be in effect
for at least ve years to be
eligible for termination under
the early out provisions.
Only CRP contracts with ef-
fective dates of October 1,
2009 or earlier are eligible for
termination under the early
out provisions.

County FSA Ofce at 563-

Margin Protection Program
for Dairy Producers
The 2014 Farm Bill autho-
rizes the Margin Protection
Program for Dairy Produc-
ers (MPP-Dairy), a new dairy
program to replace the MILC
program no later than Sep-
tember 1, 2014. The MPP-
Dairy program is a voluntary
program that provides dairy
operations with risk man-
agement coverage that will
pay producers when the dif-
ference between the national
price of milk and the average
cost of feed falls below a cer-
tain level selected by the pro-
ducers in a dairy operation.
The MPP-Dairy program
offers dairy producers the fol-
lowing:
Catastrophic coverage, at
no cost to the producer, other
than an annual $100 adminis-
trative fee
Greater coverage at vari-
ous levels for a premium in
addition to the $100 adminis-
trative fee.
FSA ofce will be trained at
the end of August on this new
program. More information
will be provided after this
training.
September 1 is deadline
for terminating farm leases
Now is a good time for
land owners to think about
their farm lease for the 2015
crop year. According to Iowa
law, landowners who want to
terminate their rental agree-
ments or make changes in
current lease terms, proper
notice of termination must be
served by September 1, prior
to the end of the lease year.
This applies to both cash and
crop-share leases, but not
custom farming contracts.
In 2013, the Iowa Legis-
lature made a change in state
law regarding lease termina-
tion. The previous law ex-
empted termination notice for
parcels under 40 acres. Now,
a written notice of termina-
tion is required on all tracts
of rented farmland, regardless
of size. Farm leases automati-
cally continue as written from
year to year unless either
party gives a notice of termi-
nation. Even an oral lease is
automatically renewed if it is
not properly terminated.
Oral leases are only valid
for one year at a time in Iowa.
In order to have a longer con-
tract, it must be in writing.
Leases that are more than ve
years in length are required
by law to be recorded. The
termination notice must set
the date of termination as
March 1. The lease year runs
from March 1 to the last day
of February of the following
year.

There are three methods
of serving a farm lease notice
of termination in Iowa. The
following is quoted from the
Code of Iowa, Section 562.7:
Notice How and when
served. Written notice shall
be served upon either party
or a successor of the party
by using one of the following
methods:
1. By delivery of the no-
tice, on or before September
1, with acceptance of service
to be signed by the party to
the lease or a successor of the
party, receiving the notice.
2. By serving the notice,
on or before September 1,
personally, or if personal ser-
vice has been tried and can-
not be achieved, by publica-
tion, on the same conditions,
and in the same manner as is
provided for the service of
original notices, except that
when the notice is served by
publication no afdavit is
required. Service by publica-
tion is completed on the day
of the last publication.
3. By mailing the notice
before September 1 by certi-
ed mail. Notice served by
certied mail is made and
completed when the notice
is enclosed in a sealed enve-
lope, with the proper postage
on the envelope, addressed to
the party or a successor of the
party at the last known mail-
ing address and deposited in
a mail receptacle provided by
the United States postal ser-
vice.
A form titled Notice of
Termination of Farm Tenan-
cy is available from the Iowa
State University Ag Decision
Maker website as AgDM C2-
19 and can be found online at

dataTHRESH launches
Farmer Community Forum
dataTHRESH, Inc., the
developer of a leading inde-
pendent platform of precision
ag data tools for farmers, an-
nounced recently the launch
of its Farmer Community
Forum, focused on farmer
data topics, at the InfoAg
precision ag conference in St.
Louis, MO.
The Farmer Community
Forum is a place online where
farmers can ask, discuss, and
learn about data topics from
other progressive farmers and
invited experts. The Forum is
free to farmers.
The data revolution in
agriculture is taking the in-
dustry by storm so it is very
important for farmers today
to stay in the drivers seat for
their farm data. Farmers need
to get up to speed quickly on
the issues and opportunities
with their data. Thats why
we created the dataTHRESH
Farmer Community Forum
and offer it free, says Mike
Coon, dataTHRESH Found-
er and 6th generation Iowa
farmer.
Its just like earlier times
in agriculture when indepen-
dent farmers worked together
for threshing, Coon added.
Today, its data that farmers
are threshing, and the need to
keep as much of the value of
that data on the farm as pos-
sible is just as important as
it was with grain 100 years
ago.
In the age of social net-
working, dataTHRESH is
creating a unique indepen-
dent community where fel-
low farmers can become
knowledgeable about data.
Based in Ames,
dataTHRESH is developing
an independent platform of
precision ag data tools to help
improve farmer protabil-
ity. dataTHRESH is actively
seeking more input from corn
and soybean growers to help
build independent data tools
for independent farmers who
believe in owning their own
data.

Field day to focus on soil
improvement September 11
A free eld day organized
by the Midwest Organic and
Sustainable Education Ser-
vice (MOSES) will show
farmers a unique method for
building productive soil in a
no-till organic system. The
eld day will be Thursday,
September 11 from 1 to 4
p.m. at Wilson Organic Farms
in Cuba City, WI.
Cover crops, always a
mainstay in organic farming,
are gaining wider popular-
ity as a way to improve soil
fertility. This eld day takes
cover cropping a step further,
demonstrating how to grow
soybeans in a no-till eld
following rye that has been
rolled to form a mulch. The
soybeans are drilled through
the rolled rye. This method
builds soil while allowing a
eld to be used to grow an-
other crop, including a va-
riety of vegetable and grain
crops.
Field day participants will
learn about the timing, seed-
ing and mulching methods
that make this method work.
Theyll also see another eld
where the host farmer, Keith
Wilson, is growing tillage
radish, and hear about the
benets of this cover crop. In
addition, Grant County Natu-
ral Resources Conservation
Service will dig a soil pit and
explain the farms deep soil
prole.
To register or get directions
for this eld day, see moses-
organic.org/events/organic-
eld-days or call 715-778-
5775. Advance registration
ensures that enough handouts
and refreshments can be pro-
vided, however, walk-in par-
ticipants are welcome. This
event is made possible by a
grant from the USDA RMA.
MOSES is a nonprot or-
ganization that provides edu-
cation, resources and exper-
tise to help farmers succeed
in sustainable and organic
agriculture. Field days are
just one of the many services
MOSES provides to farmers.

... that in a recent column,
I mentioned that it is never a
good idea for a writer to be his
or her own proofreader.
I wrote that after a careless
mistake I had made in a previ-
ous column.
The wisdom of that thought
jumped off the page of The
Standards next issue.
I do not always read my
own column after it is printed.
After all, I know what I wrote,
right?
Wrong.
I did read my column in the
August 6 issue, and screamed
you idiot at myself while
still in the first paragraph.
Because I had written about
a guiding principal.
Principal. Not principle, as
I had intended.
No educator was involved.
And I learned the mnemonic
of how to spell the differ-
ent versions of those words
that sound alike as far back,
as, what, when we had spell
downs in seventh grade? The
educator, the principal, is your
pal.
True, we use principal
more often than principle, I
suppose, which is sort of a sad
commentary in and of itself.
But I do know the differ-
ence, so it was simply a care-
less mistake.
In that earlier column, I
wrote about the difficulty of
teaching a non-English speak-
ing person why there are 12
teams in the Big Ten con-
ference, but 10 teams in the
Big 12. That is a comment I
had made a few times a year
or more ago. But the fact is,
there are now 14 teams in the
Big 10. And I knew that, even
though competition with those
new teams doesnt start until
this football season. Again,
just a careless mistake.
I know that the editors at
the paper sometimes proof my
columns, because they have
caught past errors. But what I
write is still my responsibility.
I expected someone to call
me about either or both of
those errors, but nobody did.
Too polite to insult an old
man? Or, horrors, perhaps no-
body is reading the column!
From time to time, someone
will ask how long I have been
writing this column. Earlier
this year, I would have done
the quick math and said 49
years.
For a while last week, I al-
most thought the correct an-
swer should be too long!
I dont blame my age. I sus-
pect I am seduced by the big
picture to the point where I
ignore the smaller parts. And
I am still convinced I have it
right on the big picture. Most
of the time.
And so will keep trying.
Along that line, I am read-
ing a book about Lebanon and
its place in the Muslim-Jewish
continuing war. And when I
ran across the word adum-
brate I had to stop and look it
up. A great word! Look it up. I
seldom am totally as unaware
of a word as I was then.
Spell check accepted it.
Why didnt spell check ask me
if I was sure about principal!
And then I
wrote ...

The views expressed on this page are not necessarily views shared by this newspaper
Mark Palmer of Sac-
ramento, California, read
my column a couple weeks
ago concerning a man who
experienced a traumatic
brain injury (TBI). Palmer
emailed to tell his own TBI
story.
In a telephone interview,
he said, About 50 years
ago, when 15, I was rid-
ing in a car with a friend
who ran a stop sign and a
Detroit city bus hit us in
the side. I remember very
little about the accident and
only remember a couple
incidents during my three
week coma. The most sig-
nicant thing I remember
(in the coma) was, around
the clock, nurses reading
the get well cards from my
paper route customers. If
you think people in a coma
never hear anything, thats
a myth.
He said he was dis-
charged after learning to
walk and feed himself.
There wasnt any rehabili-
tation program for people
like him in 1964. He and
his parents thought the
whole ordeal was over,
he said, the minute they left
the hospital.
His high school teachers
continued giving him the
grades he received before
his traumatic brain injury,
which was a disservice to
him, he said. In his high
school English classes, no
matter how hard he tried,
he would always end up
failing his weekly spelling
tests. So he gave up trying.
He later unked out of the
University of Michigan.
His story could have end-
ed there, but Palmer didnt.
He began ghting through
and slowly overcoming or
adapting to his limitations,
including left-side paraly-
sis. He took an IBM cleri-
cal job.
He said, I wasnt smart
enough to know how re-
stricted I should be. I just
kept plowing through and
kept pressing on for more
functionality. The injury
has been a gift to me.
He called his injury a
gift because his path to
become functional would
become an ingrained char-
acter traitand, in time,
lead to his vocation.
Palmer became a noted
technology industry turn-
around executive who did
for businesses what he was
doing with himself. Now
retired at age 65, he man-
ages the Realistichope.com
website for people with
TBIs. In part, on this web-
site, he allows affected peo-
ple to share their personal
stories in order to encour-
age others and build hope.
Rather than treat brain in-
juries, he helps people re-
alistically live with them in
community with others.
He said, Fifty years
later, (the TBI) is still a big
part of my life, but not as a
negative.

Hats off to water quality conscious farmers

Wexford
Wanderings
Disabilities
by Daniel J. Vance, MS, LPC, NCC
A tribute to a
wonderful mother
There have been a couple
of months break in Wexford
Wanderings mainly due to the
passing of my mother, Alice
Conway. This article is a trib-
ute to her and her passing.
Grief is something that
every family has to suffer
through with the loss of a
loved one. The loss of a moth-
er is a very heart-wrenching
experience which brings
family and friends together
to grieve the loss of a loved
one. It can also be a special
time to share remembranc-
es and re-experience better
times. In my familys case,
we celebrated the wonderful
life and loving kindness of a
delightful woman who had
for 94 years brought love and
joy to the world. Alice was
known for her involvement
in church and Archdiocesan
work, teaching children in
faith and knowledge, com-
munity involvement in Farm
Bureau and social issues, but
most of all to our family as
the matriarch who brought a
wee bit of sunshine to every
occasion and lovingly gave
this world twelve children,
numerous grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
Friends, relatives, neigh-
bors, and family in north-
east Iowa but especially in
the Wexford Parish provided
comfort and support to Al-
ices family during the wake
and funeral. All of the family
wishes to express our deep-
est appreciation for the words
of kindness, gifts, owers,
prayers and comfort.
Funerals are a mixed bless-
ing - both extremely hard to
experience, yet based on
faith, wonderful. Hard, be-
cause of the loss of a loved
one. In reality though, the
body is only of this earth.
Yet it is wonderful because
the soul is now reunited with
loved ones who have passed
on previously and who have
prepared a place in Heaven
for them. Each person asks
themselves, What will that
experience be like? This is
a question that has mystied
mankind forever and each
and every person will some-
time face.
Wexford is one of the few
parishes that still take care of
their own from the initial bap-
tism until the nal burial. The
parishioners come together
to dig the grave and prepare
the last resting place for each
person who is buried in the
Wexford Cemetery. Friends,
relatives, neighbors, and fam-
ily members gathered at the
Wexford Cemetery to dig the
grave. Some were seasoned
veterans who have volun-
teered many times to dig their
neighbors and friends graves
while others were youngsters
experiencing for the rst time
the camaraderie and toil. The
correct size of the burial plot
was measured out using well-
worn tools that have served
this same purpose for many
graves across many years of
use. The initial shovels full of
earth were easy to dig and full
of dark black rich soil which
runs down through the rst
eight to 12 inches of earth. As
the digging progressed, the
soil turned into a sandy clay
mix that tended to cling to the
boots and stick to the shovels.
This mix was much heavier
to lift and harder to remove
from the shovel. The small
width of the grave and close
quarters as the hole deepened
only allowed two people at a
time to dig. Because of the
hard work required in lifting
the soil above the edge of the
hole and the number of ready
volunteers, diggers rotated in
and out and at one point a lad-
der was placed into the deep
pit to provide entry and exit.
Down near the four- to ve-
foot depth area, limestone
rocks required the use of a
pick axe and sledge hammer
to break the larger pieces of
stone into smaller size that
could more easily be re-
moved from the deep hole. As
one group dug the grave, an-
other group began removing,
with wheel barrows, a por-
tion of the dirt equivalent to
the amount displaced by the
casket and grave liner. Some
of the soil was placed on the
hillside along the edge of the
cemetery. Others loads of dirt
were moved and placed into
low spots in the cemetery to
help level out the ground. The
grave was dug to the correct
depth and the sides evened
out. After the hard work of
digging the grave, the labor-
ers were provided a nice light
meal in the Wexford Hall.
Conversations were light and
tended to center around the
person who would soon be
laid to rest for eternity.
The visitation and wake
was held at Thornburg-
DeVries Funeral Home in
Lansing. As mourners en-
tered, they were greeted by
a video on a continuous feed
playing on a large screen. It
consisted of a series of pho-
tos of the Conway families
backed by melodious Irish
based music. A steady stream
of friends, relatives and
neighbors said their last fare-
well to Alice and expressed
sympathy to the family. There
were many remarks of how
peaceful she seemed and how
for 94 years she had lived a
good life.
The Mass of Christian
burial was celebrated by Fa-
ther John Moser, Father Don-
ald Hawes, Monseigneur Cle-
tus Hawes and Monseigneur
Ed Lechtenberg. At the grave
site, Msgr. Lechtenberg sang
a dandy Irish ballad about the
love of a son for his mother.
The nal graveside prayers
were said to teary-eyed fam-
ily and friends. Many family
members dropped owers on
top of the casket and a few
sprinkled bits of soil onto the
top of the casket. As the con-
gregation began to leave the
grave site, shovels began to
rein down earth over the cas-
ket. The casket was covered
with earth and the grave lled
in. Following the funeral, a
ne meal was provided in the
Parish Hall of delicious roast
beef, crispy fried chicken, po-
tatoes and gravy, green beans,
corn and a splendid variety of
salads and tasty deserts.
Mom will be sorely missed
but she will live on through
the many children, grandba-
bies and great grandbabies.
I would like to share a
poem from my brother, Mike:
Saying Goodbye to Mom
Our Mom has passed away
And I just want to say
That even though we feel sad
We should be very glad
She was a good daughter,
mother, and wife
And she lived a long full life
She always tried
to do her best
On her lifes long quest
She had a mansion
in Heaven to gain
And she will no longer
feel any pain
She will never have
any more tears
And Christ will calm
all her fears
She now is in Heaven above
Where she can shower us
with all her love
So let us all say goodbye
And try not to cry
Because we will all
nd some way
To be with her in Heaven
some day
-Michael J. Conway

To the Editor:
Iowa farmers continue to
use good conservation prac-
tices which help keep the ni-
trates and other chemicals out
of our precious waterways.
Many Iowa farmers have
taken advantage of the cost-
share funds that were made
available by the Iowa Depart-
ment of Agriculture. These
new science-based practices,
some of which some will be-
gin this fall, will help Iowa
farmers continue to improve
our water quality.
Visit cleanwateriowa.org
to learn more about voluntary
science-based practices that
can be implemented on farms
and in cities to improve water
quality for all of us to enjoy.
Hats off to our water qual-
ity conscious farmers. Hope-
fully we can keep the EPA
from being given the right to
control all of the waterways
across the United States of
America.

The following excerpts
were published in the Lansing
papers 75 and 60 years ago.

75 Years Ago
August 23, 1939

This Week in the
County, State and Nation
Des Moines, Aug. 17,
(DR) Marvin T. Grattan, 91,
Decorah, Ia., Civil war vet-
eran, was a free man Wednes-
day by the grace of Governor
Wilson. The silver-haired
veteran, whose 8-year sen-
tence for manslaughter would
have expired in November,
got the remainder of his term
set aside for a sentimental
reason. He and his wife are
leaving tonight to attend the
national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic
at Pittsburgh, Penn., which
may be the last for the boys
in blue.
Rochester, Minn., Aug. 22
(AP) Lou Gehrig, New York
Yankee rst man, whose ca-
reer was snapped short early
this summer by a form of in-
fantile paralysis attacking his
spine, said today Mayo clinic
physicians told him he was
making good progress in his
ght against the afiction.

Harpers Ferry
Al Boardman of Johnston-
port thru curiosity was tracing
up the Boardman family tree
and in the course of his search
he wrote the conciliate in
England, and thereby traced
one member of the family, Al-
fred Boardman, who lives in
Montreal, Quebec. He is a son
to a brother of George Board-
man who formerly lived at
Johnstonport and who was
the father of Levi, George
and Al Boardman. He and his
wife and daughter Ethel drove
1200 miles here last week to
meet a large number of rela-
tives that they never knew they
had. The different branches
of the Boardman family here
planned an outdoors picnic
at Tillie Island Sunday as an
entertainment for their newly
found cousins but because of
the rain they changed it to the
hall here. Needless to say it
was an enjoyable affair. The
Canadian visitors enjoyed the
scenery here very much and
promised to make their visit
an annual affair.

nior baseball team, plays the
Lansing Cubs, the rst nine,
next Sunday afternoon at the
local baseball eld. Winners
get all the gate. A hot contest
is expected. Be sure to come
and see this game

Gus and Leo Wagner, who
had been on a trip to the San
Francisco Worlds Fair and
enjoying a visit with their sis-
ter, Miss Katherine, trained
nurse in a veterans hospital
there for several weeks past,
returned home late Friday
evening. They bought a car in
the west, which they used for
sight-seeing while there, as
well as for the trip home.

Miss Alice Lynum drove
to Ames Sunday and was
accompanied by the Misses
Jean Kehr and Lois Ann
Schafer. The latter two high
school students had won this
prize trip as awards given
the home economic class in
school work last year. They
remain until this (Wednes-
day) evening.

Waukon Briefs
A picnic gathering planned
to take place last Sunday by
Spanish-American war veter-
ans at the Edw. Hagen farm
home in Paint Creek town-
ship, had but a small atten-
dance because of the inclem-
ent weather and the slippery
roads which prevented some
who were on the way from
reaching there. As it was, A.L.
Peterson and Mrs. Gunda
Martindale were present from
Postville, and Elmer Briar, N.
Colsch, Geo. Ralston, Claude
Dean and their wives from
Waukon, who with Mr. and
Mrs. Hagen completed the
party. After the picnic dinner
rations were consumed the af-
ternoon was spent in the sort
of reminiscing that always
comes to the minds of cam-
paign vets. Another like gath-
ering is planned for Friday
of this week at Postville to
observe the birthday of Mrs.
Gunda Martindale.

The picture of a Brown
Swiss bull, owned by Dr. C.W.
Rominger, appeared among
other champion awards at the
All-Iowa fair at Cedar Rapids
last week, upon having won
the junior championship of
that breed. His name is King
Nero Aristocrat and he is a se-
nior yearling.

Charles, 11-year-old son
of the Weaver family residing
near Harpers Ferry, received
surgical attention at the local
hospital last week for a frac-
ture of his left forearm, which
he received upon getting up-
set while practicing a chariot
race with a pair of old buggy
wheels.

Baseball at Waukon
A couple of Scenic League
make-up games were played
at the Waukon Fair Grounds
Thursday evening when Wau-
kon took Monona into camp
by the score of 15 to 4 mak-
ing 11 scores on 10 walks and
2 hits in the 3rd inning. They
made a total of but 7 hits alto-
gether to 5 Monona made off
Frank Plein who had Wally
Larson as catcher and Plein
set 7 batters down via strike-
outs. In the second game that
same evening which was a 6
inning affair Waukon beat the
C. & E. Indees by the score of
10 to 0, using the same bat-
tery as the rst game was only
a 7 inning play. In this game
Plein got 13 down swinging
for an average of more than
2 strike-outs per inning. He
topped the sluggers with a
home run with 2 men on in
the 4th.
The Scenic League closed
again with New Albin win-
ning 12 and losing but 2
games. Monona and Post-
ville tied for 2nd place with
a 9 won and 5 lost average
and 3rd place was another tie
between Waukon and Eitzen
each team winning 7 and los-
ing 7. They were followed by
C. and E. and Harpers Ferry
and Lansings unlucky Mud-
cats nished last just getting
a good start when the season
was over. Marcella Robinson,
of Waukon served efciently
as league secretary.

New Albin News

ter, Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Arm-
strong and Karen. At Stan-
wood, Ia., they visited the
Arnold Moore family.

In an exhibition game Sun-
day afternoon on the local
diamond New Albin defeated
Eitzen by the score of 3 to 2
rallying for all the scores in
the 4th inning. It was a pitch-
ers battle between Feil, of Ei-
tzen and Buege of New Albin
most all the way through the
game. Eitzen scored 2 in the
rst for its only tallies and be-
hind the plate were B. Mein-
ers for Eitzen and Alvin Dar-
ling for New Albin. Norbert
Plagge was umpire.

Lansing Locals
The Gayhard Reppe family
moved early last week to the
Shortt farm in French Creek
township which he has owned
and operated the past several
years. They have been on the
home farm of his father, Lew-
is Reppe southwest of town
with his brother, Myron, the
past couple of years. Myron
will continue operation of the
same farm alone.

John Bjerke accompanied
Alex Knutson to Chicago
early last week and the latter
took the train for New York
to sail for a visit with home
folks in Norway. John attend-
ed the Cubs-Cincinnati dou-
ble header at Wrigley Field
before coming home and
said the Chicago team win-
ning both games reminded
him of the old time champion
Cubs. Next year John plans a
trip to Norway on a business
and pleasure sojourn and will
make it ying both ways to
save time.

Several hundred dollars
worth of shing nets were
burned up about supper time
Friday evening when the re
company was called to the
Clear Creek area between the
south Lansing bridge and the
homes. Harold Verdon was
the loser as the re broke out
from the vats where the tar
was being heated prepara-
tory to dipping the nets into
it which makes them more
lasting. It took some little
time for the local remen to
extinguish the blaze which
sent volumes of black smoke
high in the sky which could
be seen for many miles in all
directions.

The Bill Gander family
of Rochester, Minn., drove
down Saturday and visited
overnight with home folks,
the Frank Gander family. Bill
has been employed in that
city going onto nearly three
years and Bill said the con-
struction work in that city is
getting pretty well caught up,
the new Clinic Building on
which he is employed being
nearly completed.
