and delegates nominated
Dan Byrnes of Waukon as
the Democratic candidate
for Allamakee County

two County Supervisor seats
will be up for election.
Byrnes was born and
raised in Allamakee County.
His parents, Leo and Mary
Ellen (Walsh) Byrnes, were
farmers noted for their award-
winning Angus herd. After
graduating from Waukon

seven children, he returned
to Allamakee County,
purchased his own farm,
and eventually took over the
Byrnes family farm, which is
a Century Farm located ve
miles southeast of Waukon in
Jefferson Township.
In addition to farming,
Byrnes works part-time as
an insurance agent for GF
Mutual Insurance Association
in Waukon. He and his wife,
Traci, who is a rst grade
teacher at West Elementary
School in Waukon, have one
daughter, Natalie, who is
eight years old. As a member
of St. Patrick Catholic Church
in Waukon, Byrnes has been

The Waukon Center also
serves as a pivotal point
between NICC offerings
and services, credit and non-

workforce and community
initiatives and needs.
Many community
members take advantage
of services and programs
offered at the center. From

enrolled in NICC college
credit classes at the Waukon
Center, saving their families

Speaking to delegates

economic development. He
says that, as Supervisor, he
would listen to the needs
of all constituents and be
exible and fair in addressing
issues. Byrnes said, I would
strive to keep Allamakee
County a great place to work,
live and raise a family. It
would be an honor to serve
the citizens of Allamakee
County as Supervisor.

Waukon man wins
$20,000 in Iowa
Lottery Powerball
game using his
own special
system to pick
numbers ...
Richard Giesbrecht of
Waukon won a $20,000
prize in the June 28 Power-
ball drawing using a system
he developed for picking
the numbers. He purchased
his winning ticket at Hy-Vee
in Waterloo.
I use a mathematical
system. I go back in the his-
tory and I do a lot of gur-
ing I have a formula that I
use, Giesbrecht told lottery
employees as he claimed his prize recently at the lotterys regional ofce in Cedar Rap-
ids. However, Giesbrecht is keeping his lips closed about the details of his system for
picking winning lottery numbers. Its a deep, dark secret, he said. Otherwise every-
body is going to be hitting me up all the time and thats no fun.
Giesbrecht matched four white balls and the Powerball in the June 28 jackpot draw-
ing to win a $10,000 prize. And since he added the Power Play option to his ticket, his
prize multiplied to $20,000. The 74-year-old said he typically watches a local 10 p.m.
newscast for the winning Powerball numbers, and when the June 28 winning numbers
were shown, he knew that he had won.
I was looking at the numbers and I said, These numbers look familiar, Giesbrecht
said. Giesbrecht, who works in the insurance industry, said his lottery winnings will be
used to purchase a newer car and make some repairs to his home. He also said he
revised his system for picking winning lottery numbers.
I changed my system now a little bit since I won, he said. So Ive got a system now
that might be even better. Well see. It takes time. It might take a year or two to hit the
biggie, but Im working at it. Submitted photo.
A. Since the recommended and
required immunization schedule
is updated on a regular basis it
is possible that changes in the
schedule have occurred since your
child received their last series of
vaccinations prior to kindergarten. Vaccine protection for
some vaccines wear off over a period of time so a booster
may be needed. This is the case in the vaccine, Tdap
(tetanua, diphtheria, and pertussis - whooping cough). It
is now a requirement that students in grade 7 and above, if
born on or after September 15, 2000, receive a booster Tdap
vaccine. Illnesses such as, meningitis, are more of a risk to
children in this age group and vaccine is available during
these years. HPV (human papillovirus) vaccine is targeted to
be given during the pre teen and teen years.
A wellness physical by your child`s healthcare provider or a
call to our public health department is a perfect opportunity to
discuss immunization recommendations and requirements for
your child`s healthy future.
Q. Parents of pre-teens
and teenagers may
ask why does my
child need
immunizations now?

Seeking AmeriCorps members
to promote healthy schools in
the northeast Iowa area
Waukon woman remains
hospitalized after July 6 crash
at troubled intersection
Water Summary indicates
month of June was fourth
wettest in 141 years of
records for state of Iowa
The Northeast Iowa Food
and Fitness Initiative, or FFI,
in partnership with Luther
College in Decorah are ac-
cepting applications for the
anticipated 2014-15 Ameri-
Corps positions.
The AmeriCorps service
members will join a team of
enthusiastic people work-
ing in more than 16 schools
throughout northeast Iowa
to promote healthier school
environments. Members will
serve one or two districts
within northeast Iowa as they
integrate healthy living into
school culture through mod-
eling and education.
Members will develop
youth leadership programs
and deepen community in-
vestment in local healthy
food access and opportuni-
ties for physical activity. As
part of their service, members
will support school gardens,
encourage Safe Routes to
School and integrate Farm to
School activities across their
assigned district.
A Waukon woman re-
mains hospitalized following
a two-vehicle accident Sun-
day, July 6 at the intersection
of Old Highway 9 and Old
Stage Road approximately
two miles west of Waukon.
A report released by the Iowa
State Patrol mid-week last
week indicates that Sylvia
Roffman, age 71, of Waukon
and Adam Cline, age 30, of
Decorah collided at that inter-
section at approximately 4:15
p.m. that Sunday.
The accident report in-
dicates that Roffman was
northbound on Old Stage
Road (W60) and had stopped
at the stop sign at its inter-
section with Old Highway 9,
but then failed to see Cline's
June rainfalls brought pre-
cipitation during the rst half
of 2014 to above normal lev-
els for the state of Iowa, ac-
cording to a report recently
released by the Iowa Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR). The June statewide
average rainfall was almost
ten inches, and for the most
recent two weeks prior to
the report (June 25-July 8)
the rainfall of 4.3 inches was
nearly double the normal
amount for that timeframe.
A further look into the re-
port indicates that Allamakee
County was in the majority of
counties in Iowa that experi-
enced precipitation amounts
in excess of 150% of the nor-
mal average rainfall for that
two-week period of June 25-
July 8. A total of 62 of Iowa's
99 counties fell within that
"well above average" range,
with 2.2 inches of rainfall be-
ing listed as the normal aver-
age rainfall during that span.
Cumulative precipitation
totals listed in the report indi-
cate that the rst half of 2014
saw totals approximately four
inches higher than the record-
ed average of nearly 17 inches
at this point in time across the
state of Iowa. However, the
nearly 21 inches of precipita-
tion recorded so far this year
through the month of June
are still approximately four
inches behind last year's rst-
half total of approximately 25
inches following an even wet-
ter late spring/early summer
period recorded in 2013.
Although most of Iowa
received very wet weather
during this period, there were
exceptions. The far northwest
portion of the state received
a welcome reprieve from
mid-June ooding, and in far
southeast Iowa a few areas -
centered around Van Buren
County - consistently missed
heavy rains.
According to the report,
stream ows are either nor-
mal or much above normal
for the majority of the state.
In some locations stream ow
levels are beginning to drop
as excess water continues to
move downstream.

west before pulling out into
its path. Cline's 2007 Chev-
rolet Impala struck Roffman's
2007 Ford Taurus broadside
in the driver's side door, total-
ing both vehicles.
Cline was reported as un-
injured in the crash, while
Roffman had to be extricat-
ed from her vehicle by the
Waukon Fire Department's
Jaws of Life before being
taken to Veterans Memorial
Hospital by ambulance and
then transferred to a hospital
in La Crosse, WI, where she
remains a patient. Both driv-

their seat belts. Roffman was
charged with Failure to Yield

Supervisors take further steps to secure loan funds for
new re station for Waukon Area Fire Protection District
by Bob Beach
Board of Supervisors held
a public hearing Tuesday,
July 8 regarding a $750,000
loan to pay half of the cost
to construct a new re station
in Waukon for the Waukon
Area Fire Protection District.
Bob Jostens, the County's
bond attorney, explained
that in order for the County
to proceed with taking out
a loan on behalf of the eight
member townships of the re
district, state law requires
that a public hearing be held
and notice of that hearing be
published, with the purpose
of that hearing being to hear
comments from the public.
Fire Board President Tony
Baxter requested that the
Board sign a resolution
expressing intent to enter
into the loan agreement with
Waukon State Bank.
Speaking on behalf of
Waukon State Bank, Gail
Prestemon said that the bank
is happy to be able to make
the funds available and that
the date of the rst payment
on the ten-year, 3.25%
interest loan has been pushed
back to December 1, 2015 so
that funding from additional
levies will be available to
the townships. She said
that the full $750,000
would be disbursed to the
County in a lump sum once
the loan agreements with
the townships have been
nalized.
After closing the public
hearing and signing the
resolution expressing intent to
enter into the loan agreement,
the Board held a brief
discussion about charging the
townships an administrative
fee for acting as the scal
agent for the loan. Allamakee
County Attorney Jill Kistler
said that she could not nd
legal authority for the County
to impose such a fee. Jostens
agreed with Kistler's legal
opinion and the Board took
no action to impose a fee.
During regular business,
the Board met with
LuAnn Rolling, District
Conservationist for the
Allamakee County Natural
Resource Conservation
Service, who presented
the Board with the annual
watershed inspection report,
which shows that repairs are
needed on the Little Paint and
English Bench watersheds.
Allamakee County Engineer
Brian Ridenour said that
FEMA funding had been
received for the repairs and
that the Secondary Roads
Department had planned to
make the repairs. He said
that if the repairs could not
be completed within the next

Robey Memorial Library welcomes
Cate St. Clair as new library director
Robey Memorial Library in
Waukon has welcomed Cate
St. Clair as its new library
director. St. Clair assumed
the library director position
in May of this year following
the departure of Rick Meyer,
director for three-plus years
at Robey Memorial Library
before departing for a similar
position closer to his family
in Decatur, IL.
St. Clair grew up in Des
Moines and has been living in
Waukon for just over a year
with her signicant other,
Nicholas Hay, an attorney
with the law rm of Jacobson,
Bristol, Garrett & Swartz in
Waukon. Prior to her new
position at Robey Memorial
Library, she was a librarian
at the Meehan Memorial
Library in Lansing.
Before beginning her
career in the library industry,
St. Clair had designs on also
becoming an attorney. She
graduated from Wellesley
College in Massachusetts and
spent a year working as an
AmeriCorps member in the
Des Moines ofce of Iowa
Legal Aid before receiving
a scholarship to pursue
community service law at
Cate St. Clair ...
Drake University Law School
in Des Moines. However,
after graduating St. Clair says
she found that pursuing a
career as an attorney was not
as rewarding as she had hoped
it would be and switched her
career focus to something she
would much rather pursue.
"I have found library work
to be incredibly rewarding,
and am so excited about my
new opportunity as director
here at Robey," St. Clair
said. "With the building
project nearly behind us,
and our grand re-opening on
the horizon, the future looks
bright and I am honored to be
a part of it."
In addition to her library
work, St. Clair stays busy
keeping up with her adopted
puppy, Saul. She also likes
to read, walk and nd other
ways to "enjoy the beauty of
northeast Iowa".

Ferryville to host River Bluff Daze July 26
A summer hike to Sugar
Creek Bluff is a new addition
this year to the annual River
Bluff Daze celebration in Fer-
ryville, WI July 26. This hike
will be co-sponsored with
Mississippi Valley Conser-
vancy as part of the Linked
to the Land series and is
sponsored by Mayo Clinic
Health System-Fransciscan
Healthcare of LaCrosse, WI.
Participants should meet at
the Ferryville Boat Landing
on the north end of town. Ac-
cess is from Market Street at
the south end of the Cheapo
Depot building. Treats and
instructions will be avail-
able starting at 8:30 a.m. and
then everyone will carpool to
the trailhead off North Buck
Creek Road.
Since the vegetation is
growing rapidly due to all of
the rain recently, participants
should wear long pants and
apply insect repellent liber-
ally. The Mississippi Valley
Conservancy will be mow-
ing before the hike one more
time. The group will be look-
ing for summer wild owers
blooming and birds ying in
the canopy of the forest. The
remarkable view of the Mis-
sissippi from that bluff will
reward everyone when they
get out to the point of Sugar
Creek Bluff.
Mike Ripp, Martin Mur-
phy, and Jon Rigden will be
leading this hike. They all
have extensive experience
with the features of local nat-
ural areas. This is a fairly lev-
el hike and the total distance
is about one and a half miles
- a family friendly walk.
After the hike, the tractor
pull, Market in the Park, kids
games, and Italian beef lun-
cheon will be part of the fes-
tivities near the Village Hall.
A reworks display will com-
mence at dusk over the river.

Checks available to redeem at local Farmers Markets
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
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
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

BUYING AND SELLING
LOCAL FOODS
Farmers market and food
stand season brings many
opportunities to sample
pride of Iowa foods. Most
people assume that foods
allowed to be sold require
inspection. Regulatory
agencies (e.g., Iowa
Department of Inspections
and Appeals Consumer
Food Safety Bureau) have
the responsibility to inspect
foods that present a greater
risk for foodborne illness,
rather than all foods.
For example, at farmers
markets, vendors of meats and
cheeses will have prepared
their foods in a licensed
processing facility. Fruit-
based jams and jellies can
be home-processed whereas
vegetable-based jams,
such as pepper jam, must
be processed in a licensed
facility. The difference is due
to ingredients that increase
the risk of foodborne illness
if the product is not properly
prepared.
Most baked goods are okay
for sale, but vendors must
have: a list of ingredients,
preparers contact
information, place where
food was prepared, notice of

When a food stand is
preparing or selling what
are considered higher risk
foods (e.g., not pre-packaged
foods), it should have a
temporary food establishment
license. This means the
Department of Inspection
and Appeals Consumer
Food Safety Bureau or a
county-level counterpart has
inspected the food stand and
issued the temporary license.

"Water Rocks!" Conservation Station coming to the Allamakee County Fair ...
The Conservation Station is coming to the Allamakee County Fair Wednesday, July 16 from 4:30-7 p.m. The Allamakee County Fairgrounds
are located at 705 Allamakee Street in Waukon. The Conservation Station is a mobile learning center that travels across the state teaching all
Iowans what they can do to improve water quality and keep Iowas soil in place, helping to build a Culture of Conservation.
Visitors to the Conservation Station can learn why Iowas water and soils are precious and how to help preserve these natural resources for
future generations. Conservation Station team members use demonstrations, pictures, interactive displays and videos to convey the message
that clean water and healthy soil is essential to everyone. The Conservation Stations rainfall simulator demonstrates the effects that rainfall has
on different surfaces in agricultural and urban environments. Water run-off and sub-surface drainage are collected in clear jars to show what is
coming off the various soil surface types such as heavily-tilled soil, minimally-tilled soil, and pervious pavement.
A tour of the Conservation Station is free. It can be seen at many events including field days, county fairs, farmers markets and student educa-
tional outings all over Iowa in the spring, summer and fall. Visit the Water Rocks! website to see a schedule of Conservation Station appearances:

Taking a dog for a walk is
now not only good for a per-
son's health and their dog,
it can now raise money to
support all pets at local ani-

Walk for a Dog" program is
a revolutionary dog-powered
fundraising tool for animal
shelters that uses a free mo-

says Mike Katz, Director of
Community Relations for
WoofTrax. Now, for every
mile you walk, we donate to
HSNEI.
Whether walking a dog or
by oneself, the App is a way
to keep track of those walks,
encouraging people to walk
more every day. In addition
to the health benets, walkers

The inaugural Firecracker 5K Walk/Run sponsored by the Harpers Ferry Booster Club Friday, July 4 within the
community of Harpers Ferry was deemed a tremendous success, with approximately 260 runners and walkers tak-
ing part in the rst-time event. Participants came from many areas within the state of Iowa, as well as from several

back. Top nishers in each of the three divisions of the 5K run are pictured above and included: Mens Division: First
place - Tyler ONeill in a time of 18:19, second place - Adam Benzing in 18:36; Womens Division: First place - Annie
Place in 21:44, second place - Melissa Summers in 22:41; Youth Division: First place - Kaylee Bachman in 26:36,
second place - Breckin DenHartog in 27:02. Following the 5K race, two groups of children also raced one block in

Kee baseball team wraps up regular season with four wins in nal ve games
by Val Meyer
The Kee baseball team
was one win away from an
undefeated week in wrap-
ping up its 2014 regular sea-
son. The Hawks posted ex-
tremes in recording a sweep
of Edgewood-Colesburg at
home Monday, July 7, rout-
ing the visiting Vikings, 21-0
in four innings, in game
one before escaping with a
5-4 victory in the nightcap.
The Hawks then traveled to
Dubuque Wednesday, July 9
to earn a split of a non-con-
ference doubleheader sched-
uled just this past week with
Dubuque Senior, winning a
3-1 result but also falling by
a 12-10 count, before wrap-
ping up their regular season
Thursday, July 10 by win-
ning at Postville, 12-0 in ve
innings, in a game resched-
uled from June 16.
Now holding a 22-16
overall record, 10-6 in Upper
Iowa Conference (UIC) play,
the Hawks were scheduled
to open postseason tourna-
ment play Tuesday, July 15
at Postville against Wapsie
Valley, with further details of
the Hawks postseason jour-
ney printed elsewhere on this
same Sports page in a shaded
box.
vs. Edgewood-Colesburg ...
The baseball Hawks
started off their week
with a sweep of the Edge-
wood-Colesburg (Ed-Co)
Vikings Monday, July 7 at
Shooky Field in New Albin.
Kee erupted for a total of 21
runs over just two innings to
take game one, 21-0, in four
innings and then followed
that rout with a 5-4 squeaker
over the visiting Vikings.
Neither the Hawks nor the
Vikings put up any runs in
the rst inning of game one,
but Kee put up seven runs
in the second inning, and
then doubled that effort for a
whopping 14 runs in the bot-
tom of the third inning. With
the Brennan brothers com-
bining for a one-hit shut-out
of the Vikings on pitchers
mound, the game was called
after Ed-Cos at-bats in the
fourth inning due to the 15-
run mercy rule after just four
innings.
The Brennan brother tan-
dem of senior Quinn and
freshman Danny combined
to toss a one-hitter at the vis-
iting Vikings, Quinn giving
up the one hit without a walk
and striking out one batter in
three innings on the mound,
with Danny throwing the -
nal inning without giving up
a hit or a walk while striking
out one batter.
Senior Chris Carroll was a
perfect three-for-three at the
plate with three doubles and
four RBI, with freshman Ca-
sey Carroll knocking in three
runs in a one-for-one plate
effort that included a homer-
un. Quinn Brennan, seniors
Jason Delaney and Matt
Manning, and juniors Tra-
vis Colsch and Ryan Kuhn
were each one-for-two with
the bat, Delaney scoring one
run and the other four each
crossing home twice while
Manning also drove in three
Kee runs.
This game was a great
way to start off the fan appre-
ciation night, Kee baseball
coach Gene Schultz said.
The hitting went well, also.
The second game of the
night was much more of a
nail-biter, but the Hawks
pulled through. Trailing by a
3-0 count early on, Kee bat-
tled back to take a 5-3 lead
and then held off a late Ed-
Co bid in the nal inning to
secure a 5-4 Hawk victory.
After another scoreless
opening frame, Ed-Co was
the rst to put runs on the
scoreboard. In the second
and third innings, the Hawks
let the Vikings score two and
one run, respectively, to bolt
to a 3-0 headstart. But the
Hawks fought back in the
bottom of the third inning,
pushing across two runs of
their own to pull within a run
at 3-2 through three com-
plete innings.
After another scoreless
exchange in the fourth frame,
the Hawks stole the momen-
tum in the bottom of the fth
inning. Three Kee runs were
pushed across home plate,
boosting the Hawks in front
for the rst time in the con-
test, 5-3.
In the seventh inning, the
visiting Vikings mounted
a comeback effort, cutting
Kees lead to just a single
run, 5-4. The Hawks defense
buckled down for the remain-
der of Ed-Cos nal-inning
at-bats, stopping any further
Viking advancement to seal
ahead, 12-7. The Hawks put
up their last three runs in the
nal two frames, including
one in the sixth and two more
in the seventh inning to close
the scoring gap even further,
ghting to get a win but fall-
ing short by two runs, 12-10.
Senior Jared Donahue
pitched a little over three in-
nings to suffer the pitching
loss for the Hawks. Dona-
hue gave up eight hits and
ve walks with one strike-
out. Freshman Casey Car-
roll came in to pitch after
Donahue for two innings,
allowing two hits, one walk
and four runs with one strike-
out. Freshman Danny Bren-
nan nished the game on the
mound, giving up two hits
and one walk.
The senior trio of Matt
Manning, Jason Delaney and
Chris Carroll were each two-
for-four at the plate, Carroll
and Manning each driving in
a run and Delaney posting a
pair of Kee RBI. Senior Jar-
ed Donahue also drove in a
pair of runs and scored one
of his own, with seniors Nick
Gavin and Quinn Brennan
each scoring a pair of runs as
well.
We had good experience
for upcoming tournaments,
Kee baseball coach Gene
Schultz said. It was a sloppy
game for both teams, but we
still stayed in it to try to get
another win.

Quinn Brennan and fel-

were each two-for-three at

each two-for-four with two
RBI each, Carroll stroking a

and Gavin also scoring a run.
Freshman Casey Carroll,

This was a great way to

stated.
at Dubuque Senior ...
The Kee baseballers
played a non-conference dou-
bleheader at Dubuque Senior
Wednesday, July 9, and were
able to take one win. The
games were just recently add-
ed to the schedule after the
Hawks had two other dou-
bleheaders on their schedule
canceled due to weather, and
Kee ended up winning the
rst game, 3-1, but losing the
second game, 12-10.
Dubuque Senior was able
to put its rst and only run of
game one on the scoreboard
during the rst inning. Kee
was able to nally formulate
and answer, putting up its
three runs in the third inning
of the game to take a 3-1 lead.
Neither team scored for the
rest of the game, Kee winning
game one, 3-1.
Junior Ryan Kuhn gave
up just two hits and one walk
while striking out eight bat-
ters in a complete, seven-in-
ning mound victory.
Kuhn also drove in a team-
high two runs with a triple in
four at-bats, with senior Matt
Manning going one-for-two.
Senior Chris Carroll, soph-
omore Ethan Walleser and
freshman Evan Whalen each
scored a run for the Hawks.
We played well as a
team, Kee baseball coach
Gene Schultz stated. Ryan
Kuhn had an excellent perfor-
mance for us tonight.
In the second game against
Dubuque Senior, Kee played
right along with the host
Rams but did not pull out
the second win for the night.
At the end of game two,
Dubuque Senior took the win,
12-10.
Dubuque put up most of its
runs in the beginning of the
game, and the Hawks were
able to catch up toward the
end. In the rst inning, Senior
put up ve of its 12 runs, and
added one more in the second
inning. For the third, fourth
and fth innings, Dubuque
added two runs each in-
ning to make up its 12-run
game-winning total.
Kee put up its rst run in
inning three, and three runs
in each of the fourth and fth
innings. At the end of the fth
inning, Dubuque Senior was

vs. New Hampton ...
The Indians turned in two
very different performanc-
es in recording a split of a
home doubleheader with
New Hampton Tuesday, July
8. The Tribe diamond dwell-
ers racked up 13 each of hits
and runs to tally a 13-3 vic-
tory in just ve innings in
game one against the visiting
Chickasaws before managing
just three hits in falling by an
18-1 result in ve frames in
the nightcap.
Although the 13-3 game-
one victory tends to indicate
an easy time for the Indi-
ans, that was not the case
right away, as New Hampton
jumped to an early 2-0 lead
on a rst-inning double, sin-
gle and Indian error while
holding the Tribe silent in its
half of the frame. That for-
tune began to reverse in the
second stanza, as it was New
Hampton that was kept silent
in its at-bats before the Indi-
ans surged for three runs on
four consecutive hits. Senior
shortstop Parker Hesse belt-
ed a one-out double and was
driven in by a single from
junior third baseman Brock
Waters before senior second
baseman Tyler Benzing also
singled and junior left elder
Marshall Lyons doubled in
both Waters and Tyler Ben-
zing to complete that 3-2 In-
dian lead grab.
New Hampton answered
back a bit with a single run in
the top of the third on a dou-
ble and single, pulling even
at 3-3, but Indian defense
settled in nicely to silence
the Chickasaws after that
while the Tribes offense also
rose to the occasion in dom-
inating fashion. The Indian
offensive surge began me-
thodically right away in the
bottom of the third inning, as
junior pitcher Sully Bucheit
and Hesse drew consecutive
walks before Tyler Benzing
singled in Bucheits courte-
sy runner, sophomore Haden
Hammel, and Lyons smashed
a triple to score Hesse and
Tyler Benzing and improve
the Indian standing to 6-2
through three full innings.
The Indian offensive mo-
mentum went into overdrive
in the fourth frame, getting
some considerable help from
New Hamptons defense. Ju-
nior catcher Adam Benzing
and sophomore designat-
ed hitter Chris Miller both
reached via Chickasaw errors
before Bucheit drew a walk
and Hesse was hit by a pitch
to bring Adam Benzing home
for the rst of seven Indian
runs in the frame. Another
walk issued to Tyler Benzing
plated Miller before Lyons
knocked his third hit of the
contest, a single to score both
courtesy runner Hammel and
Hesse. Another walk issued
to eighth grade right elder
Mitchell Snitker loaded the
bases in time for Adam Ben-
zing to single in Tyler Ben-
zing, with junior center eld-
er Jake Ronan drawing yet
another walk to plate Lyons
and Miller then singling in
Snitker to make for a 13-3 In-
dian margin that would stand
as the games nal result a
half inning later when the In-
dian defense turned away a
late Chickasaw charge to seal
the mercy-rule victory.
Bucheit secured the com-
plete-game pitching win, al-
lowing six hits and two walks
while striking out three bat-
ters in ve innings of mound
work. Lyons lit up the Indi-
an scoreboard with six RBI
and two runs scored while
he nearly hit for the coveted
cycle with a single, a double
and a triple in three at-bats.
Tyler Benzing was also two-
for-two with a walk and a pair
of singles for two RBI, with
Hesse also reaching base in
all three of his turns at the
plate with a double, a walk
and being hit by a pitch to
score three runs and drive in
another.
Game two proved to be a
much different story for both
the Indians and the Chicka-
saws, as Waukon managed
just three hits to tally a sin-
gle run while New Hampton
erupted for 15 hits to score in
every inning of the 18-1 mer-
cy-rule Indian defeat. New
Hampton batted through its
line-up right away in the rst
inning for a 6-0 headstart on
three walks, two doubles and
two singles, and never looked
back from there.
The Indians lone response
to any of New Hamptons of-
fense also came right away
in the rst, as they managed
two of their three hits in
that opening frame. A New
Hampton error started that
lone productive Indian in-
ning, as junior pitcher Adam
Benzing reached on that mis-
cue and was then brought
around the basepaths on a
passed ball and singles from
the junior tandem of center
elder Jake Ronan and rst
baseman Sully Bucheit to tap
into the Chickasaws lead by
just a 6-1 result.
The only other Indian hit
in the contest was a fth-in-
ning single by Ronan for his
second hit of the ballgame,
although he was left stranded
on second base to bring the
game to its mercy-rule end.
The only other Indian bas-
erunners came when eighth
grade right elder Mitchell
Snitker reached on a dropped
third strike in the third and
was followed by consecutive
elders choice at-bats by
Adam Benzing and Ronan
to remain stranded, and
then senior shortstop Parker
Hesse drew a lead-off walk
in the fourth but was outed
by a elders choice in junior
pitcher Brock Waters at-bat
to keep the Indian side of the
scoreboard dormant.
New Hamptons offense
proved to be alive and well
throughout the contest, add-
ing four more runs in the
second frame after its six-run
initial burst. A hit batter, a
double, a single and a two-
run home run boosted New
Hampton to a 10-1 advantage
in the second before that lead
improved to 11-1 in the third
on two singles and three free
passes. Two singles, a hit bat-
ter and a grand slam home run
boosted the Chickasaw lead
to 15-1 in the fourth before
the nishing touches were put
on in the fth on three singles
and a walk that helped com-
plete the 18-1 Indian defeat.
Adam Benzing suffered
the pitching loss, pitching just
one-third of an inning and
giving up no hits but allowing
three walks and three earned
runs. Junior Landon Sivesind
came on for an inning and
two-thirds to allow seven hits,
no walks and seven earned
runs, with Waters also throw-
ing an inning and two-thirds
to give up three hits, one walk
and three earned runs while
striking out one batter. Tyler
Benzing nished the games
nal inning and one-third,
allowing ve hits, two walks
and ve earned runs.
vs. Crestwood ...
The baseball Indians
were on the verge of record-
ing their rst doubleheader
sweep of the season when
they wrapped up their home
schedule Friday, July 11 by
hosting Crestwood. Howev-
er, the Tribe could not come
up with that one break or one
clutch moment to pull off ei-
ther closely-fought contest,
falling in game one by a 5-4
count before surrendering the
nightcap late by a count of
just 2-0.
The Indian diamond dwell-
ers overcame an early decit
to begin game one, but could
not accomplish that same feat
later in the contest. The Tribe
was in position to pull off the
comeback victory in its last
at-bats in the contest, but left
the two game-winning runs
stranded on rst and second
bases to fall by a 5-4 result.
The early Indian decit
was the result of a Crestwood
double and single wrapped
around an Indian error and
followed by a run-scoring
ground-out for a quick, 3-0
Indian hole in the rst frame.
The Tribe had an equally as
quick initial response in the
bottom of the rst frame,
getting a one-out single from
junior catcher Adam Benzing
before fellow junior, right
elder Jake Ronan, smacked
a run-scoring triple to pull the
Indians within a 3-1 result.
After sitting the visiting
Cadets down in order on three
consecutive y balls to start
the second, the Indians com-
pleted their initial comeback
effort with two more runs in
the bottom of the second. Se-
nior shortstop Parker Hesse
popped a lead-off single be-
fore being doubled in by ju-
nior left elder Marshall Ly-
ons, who then found his way
home on consecutive singles
from eighth grade right eld-
er Mitchell Snitker and Adam
Benzing to knot the score at
3-3 through two complete
frames.
Crestwood responded di-
rectly in the top of the third
inning with a lead-off single
and a two-run home run to
surge ahead to a 5-3 advan-
tage. Indian defense settled in
considerably following that
Cadet surge, allowing just
one other Crestwood base-
runner throughout the games
remainder on a harmless
sixth-inning single to keep
the Cadets at their ve-run
total.
With the defensive aspect
well in hand for the games
remainder, the Indians set
about the task of trying to
overcome that slim Crest-
wood advantage. Despite
getting its lead-off batters on
base in three of its next four
at-bats, the Tribe could not
advance any of those base-
runners any further than sec-
ond base to remain at a 5-3
decit heading into their nal
at-bats in the seventh.
With their backs against
the wall, the Indians did make
one nal surge toward over-
turning their decit, getting
a one-out single from Adam
Benzing before he scored on
consecutive two-out singles
from sophomore designated
hitter Chris Miller and junior
rst baseman Sully Bucheit
to bring the Tribe within a run
at 5-4. The next Indian batter,
however, was turned away
on strikes to keep those two
potential game-winning runs
stranded on base, sealing the
5-4 Indian defeat.
Sophomore Haden Ham-
mel suffered the pitching
loss, throwing the games
entire seven innings, allow-
ing six hits and no walks
while striking out ve batters.
Adam Benzing was perfect at
the plate with four singles in
four at-bats, scoring two runs
and driving in a run as well.
Bucheit was two-for-three
with a walk and two singles
to drive in a run, with Miller
going two-for-four with two
singles and Ronan and Lyons
each driving in a run with a
triple and double, respective-
ly.
The Indians narrowly
out-hit the Cadets in game
two, 6-5, but couldnt avoid
a similar reversal of fate on
the scoreboard in falling by a
2-0 count in the nightcap. The
two teams battled through a
0-0 knot through ve com-
plete innings before the visit-
ing Cadets did just enough to
punch two runs across home
plate for the narrow Indian
defeat.
Neither team was giving
up much in the games rst
three innings, each allowing
just a pair of baserunners but
not allowing any of them to
cross home plate for a 0-0
scoring knot. The Indians had
limited chances on a rst-in-
ning double with two outs
by junior pitcher Jake Ronan
and when junior center eld-
er Marshall Lyons reached on
a one-out error in the third,
both of those early Indian
baserunners being left strand-
ed. Indian defense did its part
to keep Crestwood at its own
scoreboard goose egg, senior
catcher Sam Schwartz throw-
ing out a lead-off walker try-
ing to steal second base in the
second inning and junior sec-
ond baseman Adam Benzing
making a pair of plays for two
nal outs in the third to leave
a Cadet stranded at third base
to maintain that 0-0 knot.
After turning the Cadets
away in order in the fourth in-
ning for the second time in the
contest, the Indians mount-
ed their greatest threat in the
bottom of the frame. Junior
rst baseman Sully Bucheit
and senior shortstop Parker
Hesse stroked back-to-back
one-out singles before junior
right elder Landon Sivesind
joined them in loading the
bases via a walk, but all three
Indians were left on base af-
ter a y ball ended that threat
and the inning with zeros still
looming on each side of the
scoreboard.
Crestwood nally broke
the games scoring silence in
the top of the fth, stroking a
lead-off single and complet-
ing the basepath circuit on
a pair of sacrices on each
side of a passed ball to climb
to a 1-0 advantage. After the
Indians could manage only a
sixth-inning lead-off single
from Ronan in their next two
turns at the plate, Crestwood
added an insurance run in the
top of the seventh on three
singles, improving the Cadet
advantage to 2-0 heading into
the Tribes nal at-bats.
The Indians tried to for-
mulate an answer in their -
nal turn at the plate, getting a
lead-off single from Sivesind
in the seventh. But that early
opportunity was wiped away
by a timely pick-off play and
then followed by a strike-out
to bring the game to the brink
of completion. Lyons kept the
Indians hopes alive with his
own two-out single, but a y
ball to center eld brought
an end to that threat, as well
as the ballgame, with the In-
dians on the short end of the
2-0 nal result.
Ronan suffered the pitch-
ing loss, giving up ve hits
and two walks while striking
out ve Cadet batters in the
games full seven innings.
Ronan also paced the Indian
offense with a double and
single in three at-bats. Lyons
and Sivesind each reached
base twice in three trips to the
plate, each popping for a sin-
gle, with Bucheit and Hesse
each singling once as well to
further the Indian offensive
effort.

journey with a 1 p.m. contest Tuesday, July 22 on Mittera Field
at Harlan Rogers Park in Fort Dodge against second-rated Lynn-
ville-Sully (34-1). The winning team moves on to a Thursday, July
24 seminals match-up at 11:30 a.m. and then on to a Friday, July

day, July 23, beginning with a Noon consolation seminals match-
up. A seminal win would push that winning team to the conso-
lation nals at 4 p.m. Wednesday to battle for fth place, with a
seminal loss meaning a trip to the consolation runner-up battle
for seventh-place honors, also at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
The Hawks seminal opponent in either case will be the sim-
ilarly-fated team from a rst-round match-up between AGWSR
(27-6) and Marquette Catholic (34-6). Other Class 1A rst-round

ON TO STATE!! Kee softball team rips through three regional games to earn State berth
Softball Hawks outscore regional trio 35-1 on way to second State qualication in school history, rst since 2002
by Val Meyer
Its happened just once before
in program history, but never in
such dominating fashion.
The Kee softball team mas-
tered its way through three re-
gional tournament games this
past week by a scoring margin of
35-1 to earn just the second State
Tournament berth in program
history, the Hawks last mak-
ing a trip to Fort Dodge during
the 2002 season, placing sixth
among that years Class 1A elite.
Kee rst blasted Central Elkader,
12-0 in three innings, Wednes-
day, July 9 before handing Tur-
key Valley an 11-1 rout Friday,
July 11, both of those games
played on Kees home eld. The
culmination of that eye-opening
tournament run, however, was
another 12-0 Kee pounding of
12th-rated Mason City Newman
Monday, July 14 at Cresco that
punched the Hawks ticket to
next weeks Class 1A State Tour-
nament in Fort Dodge.
Holding a 32-9 overall record,
Kee will face off against Class
1A second-rated Lynnville-Sul-
ly Tuesday, July 22 at 1 p.m., a
team that boasts a 34-1 mark and
nished as Class 1As fth-place
State Tournament team last sea-
son. Also nicknamed the Hawks,
Lynnville-Sully rides a regional
tournament wave to Fort Dodge
similar to what Kees Hawks
have enjoyed, defeating their
three regional opponents by a
combined 34-6 scoring margin
and crushing opponents by a
351-42 scoring margin during
this season, also similar to Kees
331-82 scoring margin on the
year. Further details of Kees
State Tournament possibilities
appear in a shaded box elsewhere
on this same Sports page.
Regional quarternals
vs. Central Elkader ...
The softball Hawks got their
postseason tournament journey
underway in explosive fashion
with a 12-0 victory in just three
innings in front of their own
home fans Wednesday, July 9.
Receiving a rst-round bye in the
Class 1A Region 2 bracket, Kee
was matched up in that regional
seminals contest against Cen-
tral-Elkader, an 8-4 rst-round
winner over Starmont.
The Hawks ended up waiting
just a bit longer than that rst-
round bye to completely get their
tournament wheels rolling, trad-
ing two scoreless innings with
the visiting Warriors to start the
game before erupting for 12 runs
in the bottom of the third inning
to bring the game to an early,
mercy-rule end. Kee knocked
around nine hits and took advan-
tage of three walks to help post
the victory.
While their offense kicked
into high gear, the Hawks also
jacked up their defensive effort
to perfection, retiring the visit-
ing Warriors in order throughout
the games three innings. Eighth
grade pitcher Kendra Cooper
faced the minimum of those nine
Central Elkader batters in pitch-
ing a perfect game, retiring three
of those nine on strikes.
Sophomore Ellie Cooper, se-
nior Kaylee Darling and Kendra
Cooper were all two-for-three at
the plate, with Ellie Cooper belt-
ing a double and joining Darling
in each scoring two runs. Kendra
Cooper, junior Val Meyer and
senior Ellie Heiderscheit each
had a double and drove in one
run, with freshman Courtney
Cooper driving in a team-high
two RBI. Eighth grader Chloe
Severson was walked both times
that she was at bat, and made it
safe at home plate each time.
I was impressed with how
we played tonight, Kee softball
coach Liz Hill said. Everyone
on the team was needed, and we
showed everyone how Kee High
softball plays their game.
Regional seminals
vs. Turkey Valley ...
Friday, July 11, the Kee
softball team faced the Turkey
Valley Trojans in the seminal
round of Class 1A Regional
Tournament play and was able to
take the win within ve innings,
11-1. After playing the visiting
Trojans even in the games rst
inning, the Hawks methodically
pulled away to the mercy-rule
victory.
In the top of the rst inning,
the Trojans put pressure on Kee
and were able to score their rst
and only run of the game. Once
it was time for Kee to hit against
the Trojans, starting pitcher Ken-
dra Cooper got ahold of a good
pitch and hit a solo home run to
answer that initial Turkey Valley
challenge. At the end of the rst
inning, the game was locked in a
1-1 scoreboard knot.
After that initial exchange,
Kees defense settled in to keep
Turkey Valley silent in its re-
maining four innings at the
plate. Meanwhile, the Hawk of-
fense methodically pulled away
over the next three innings, di-
aling long distance with a solo
home run from freshman third
baseman Courtney Cooper and
a two-run blast from junior rst
baseman Molly Walleser to fuel
that offensive surge. Just like the
power in Kees bats, the Hawks
scoring in each
inning also
kept increas-
ing as they
tallied one run
in the second,
three more
in the third
and six runs
in their nal
at-bats in the
fourth to round
out Kees scor-
ing in the 11-1
mercy-rule tri-
umph.
In addi-
tion to their
r e s p e c t i v e
r o u n d - t r i p -
pers, Kendra
Cooper and
Walleser also
each popped
for a single to
drive in two
runs each,
Walleser n-
ishing two-for-
two and scor-
ing two runs
and Kendra
Cooper also
scoring a run
in her two-for-
three plate ef-
fort. Courtney
Cooper add-
ed two runs
scored and
one RBI with
her solo home
run in a one-
for-two plate
effort, with
senior center
elder Jordan
Colsch and
eighth grade
d e s i g n a t e d
hitter Chloe
Severson also
each driving in
a Kee run.
Kendra Cooper pitched
the entire ve innings for the
Hawks, allowing seven hits and
one walk while posting three
Trojan strike-outs for the pitch-
ing win.
This was a great win for the
girls, Kee softball coach Liz
Hill said. There were a lot of
supporters to cheer the team on,
and the girls hit very well.
Regional nals vs.
Mason City Newman ...
The announcer may have
called them the Knee High
Hawks several times to start the
game, but it didnt take long for
the softball Hawks to prove they
were obviously head and shoul-
ders above their opponent in
their Class 1A Region 2 cham-
pionship game Monday, July 14
at Cresco. A dominating perfor-
mance over 12th-rated Mason
City Newman saw the Kee dia-
mond dwellers crush a 19-2 hit
advantage, including three home
runs that blasted the Hawks to a
12-0 mercy-rule victory in just
ve innings and on to the Class
1A State Softball Tournament.
Even though the Hawks were
the visiting team, they made
themselves feel right at home
right away with a ve-run out-
burst in the rst inning that set
the tone for the rest of the game.
Sophomore second baseman El-
lie Cooper led the game off with
a single to right eld before se-
nior shortstop Kaylee Darling
pressured Newmans defense
into the rst of ve errors on the
night as she laid down a bunt
that the Newman pitcher elded
but overthrew trying to throw
Ellie Cooper out at second base.
Eighth grade pitcher Kendra
Cooper made the Knights pay
for that mistake in a big way
when she unloaded on a pitch
for a three-run home run and a
quick, 3-0 Kee headstart. Junior
right elder Val Meyer proved
the Hawks werent quite n-
ished, as she started the offensive
machine up again with a single
before consecutive errors in at-
bats by freshman third baseman
Courtney Cooper and senior
catcher Ellie Heiderscheit lled
the bases with Hawks in time for
run-scoring singles by junior rst
baseman Molly Walleser and se-
nior center elder Jordan Colsch
to push Kee to a 5-0 lead before
their rst-inning at-bats ended.
Whether it be shell-shock on
the Knights behalf or simply
domination by the Hawks, New-
man had no answer at all for any
of Kees offense generated in
the game, being sat down in or-
der in the rst three consecutive
frames, ve of those nine batters
falling victim to strike-outs by
Kendra Cooper.
But Kees offense continued
establishing itself in each early
inning, adding another run in
the second on a lead-off double
by Kendra Cooper, who then ad-
vanced to third on a ground-out
by Meyer before scoring on a
sacrice y by Courtney Coo-
per for a 6-0 Kee lead. Walleser
led off the Hawks third inning
with a solo home run before ve
consecutive Kee singles by Ellie
Cooper, Darling, Kendra Coo-
per, Meyer and Courtney Cooper
boosted Kees advantage to 10-0,
Kendra Cooper driving in Ellie
Cooper and Darling, and Meyer
scoring Kendra Cooper before
the third frame came to a close.
The fourth inning saw rain roll
through for a 45-minute delay
that proved to slow the games
pace a bit but only postpone the
inevitable. Kee returned to action
following the rain with its only
scoreless inning of the contest
before giving up one of just two
hits in the game in the bottom of
the frame. Just as soon as Kend-
ra Cooper gave up that rst hit,
however, she erased its impact,
as she snatched a line drive from
the next batter out of the air for
an out and then promptly red
the ball to rst for a double play
to eliminate that baserunner and
keep Newman scoreless.
The Hawks added another
pair of runs in the fth inning,
Kendra Cooper punching anoth-
er round-trip ticket with a solo
bomb before back-to-back sin-
gles from Meyer and Courtney
Cooper nalized Kees scoring
at a 12-0 margin. Newman man-
aged just one more single in its
nal gasp in the fth frame, a
limited threat that was quickly
extinguished by Kees defense
to secure the Hawks 12-0 mer-
cy-rule win and advancement to
the Class 1A State Tournament.
Kendra Cooper pitched the
games entire ve innings for the
win, giving up just two hits and
no walks or runs while striking
out seven Newman batters. She

Waukon softball team has season ended by Crestwood in opening round of Regionals
The 2014 Waukon soft-
ball season was brought to a
close Tuesday, July 8 in the
opening round of Class 3A
Regional Tournament play at
Cresco. The softball Indians
matched the host Crestwood
Cadettes fairly well with their
bats, collecting six hits to
just eight for Crestwood, but
committed a total of eight er-
rors to allow seven unearned
runs in falling by a 9-1 nal
result.
The two teams were fairly
evenly matched through the
games rst two frames, es-
pecially in earned runs. Wau-
kons defensive misfortunes
allowed a hit lead-off batter
to make her way around the
basepaths on two errors and
a passed ball for a 1-0 Ca-
det headstart in the opening
frame. The two teams then
traded one earned run each in
the second inning, the Indi-
ans striking rst on a lead-off
triple by sophomore second
baseman Kaley Benzing fol-
lowed directly by a double
from junior designated player
Jackie Welch that scored Ben-
zing and knotted the score at
1-1. Crestwood, however,
answered directly with that
same combination of hits, but
with two outs in the bottom of
the second, to take back a 2-1
advantage.
The Indians managed just
four other hits in the contest,
all of them
singles but
none of
them do-
ing enough
damage to
register on
the Indian
side of the
scoreboard.
Senior rst
b a s e m a n
Mc Ka y l a
Stock man-
aged one
of those
singles to
lead off
the Tribes
third frame,
but was left
s t r a n d e d
on second
base. She
also joined
f r e s h ma n
third base-
man Regan
Wasson in
s t r o k i n g
b a c k - t o -
back singles
in the fth
inning that
went no
further with
b a s e r u n -
ners either.
Welch man-
aged the In-
dians nal
hit of the contest, a single following a walk drawn by
Benzing in the sixth inning,
but second base was also as
far as that Indian threat would
get as well.
While the host Cadet de-
fense was taking care of
business to keep the Indians
at their lone run, Waukons
defense was not faring quite
as well. A Crestwood dou-
ble, an Indian error and two
sacrice bunts resulted in a
doubling of the Cadet run to-
tal in the third frame, before
three Indian errors and two
singles pushed Crestwoods
lead to 6-1 after four innings.
A hit batsman, two more In-
dian errors, a ground-out and
a sacrice y put the nish-
ing touches on Crestwoods
scoreboard work in the fth
inning, two nal scoreless in-
nings for each team nishing
off the 9-1 Indian defeat.
Sophomore Madison Snit-
ker suffered the pitching loss
for the Indians, allowing
three hits and no walks while
striking out one batter in three
innings. In those rst three
innings in the circle, Snitker
allowed just two earned runs
out of the four scored by
Crestwood in that timeframe.
Junior Thea Meyer came on
for the nal four innings of
the contest, allowing ve hits
and one walk while also strik-
ing out one batter. Meyer did
not allow a single earned run
out of the ve runs the host
Cadets tallied in her four in-
nings in the circle, Indian
defensive miscues gifting a
majority of Crestwoods runs.
Welch and Stock were
each two-for-three at the
plate to pace the Indian of-
fense, Welch belting out a
single and a double to drive
in the only Indian run of the
contest. Benzing posted a tri-
ple and a walk in three plate
appearances, scoring the only
Waukon run, while Wasson
managed the Tribes only oth-
er hit of the ballgame.
The Indians nished up
their 2014 season with a 7-25
overall record that includes a
2-16 mark that placed them
seventh in the nal Northeast
Iowa Conference standings.
Crestwood went on to fall to
New Hampton in the regional
seminal round of postseason
tournament play Friday, July
11 by an 11-7 nal result.

Breast or Bottle?
Choosing whether to
breastfeed or formula feed a
newborn baby is only one of
the many decisions expectant
parents will make. It takes
time to make such an impor-
tant decision because it will
not only affect your babys
life but also the lives of the
entire household. Breast-
feeding is a commitment that
both parents are involved in
as it takes support from the
partner to be successful.
The American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP) joins
other organizations such as
the American Medical Asso-
ciation (AMA), the Ameri-
can Dietetic Association
(ADA), and the World Health
Organization (WHO) in rec-
ommending breastfeeding as
the best for babies. Breast-
feeding helps defend against
infections, prevent allergies,
and protect against a number
of chronic conditions.
The AAP recommends
that babies should be breast-
fed exclusively for the rst
six months. Beyond that, the
AAP encourages breastfeed-
ing until at least 12 months
of age, and longer if both the
mother and baby are willing.
Although experts believe
breast milk is the best nu-
tritional choice for infants,
breastfeeding may not be
possible for all women. For
many women, the decision to
breastfeed or formula feed is
based on their comfort level,
lifestyle and specic medi-
cal considerations that they
might have.
The decision to breastfeed
or formula feed your baby
is a very personal one. But
there are some points you
may want to consider as you
decide which is best for you
and your new addition.

About Breastfeeding
Nursing is a wonderful ex-
perience for both mother and
baby. It provides ideal nour-
ishment and a special bond-
ing experience that many
nursing mothers cherish.
Here are some of the many
benets of breastfeeding:
Infection-ghting antibod-
ies passed from a nursing
mother to her baby can help
lower the occurrence of many
conditions, including:
ear infections
diarrhea
respiratory infections
meningitis.
Other factors help to pro-
tect a breastfed baby from
infection by contributing to
the infants immune system
by increasing the barriers to
infection and decreasing the
growth of organisms like
bacteria and viruses.
Breastfeeding is particu-
larly benecial for premature
babies and also may protect
children against:
allergies
asthma
diabetes
obesity
Sudden infant death syn-
drome (SIDS).
As a group, breastfed ba-
bies have fewer infections
and hospitalizations than
formula-fed infants.

Nutrition and ease
of digestion
Breast milk is often de-
scribed as the perfect food
for babies because of its high
nutritional value and the fact
that it is so easily digested by
a newborns immature sys-
tem. Because breast milk is
more easily digested breast-
fed babies have fewer inci-
dences of diarrhea or consti-
pation.
Breast milk also natu-
rally contains many of the
vitamins and minerals that a
newborn requires. A healthy
mother does not need any
additional vitamins or nu-
tritional supplements, with
the exception of vitamin D.
Breast milk does contain
some vitamin D, and vitamin
D is produced by the body
when the skin is exposed to
sunlight. However, sun expo-
sure increases the risk of skin
damage, so parents are ad-
vised to minimize exposure.
As a result, the AAP recom-
mends that all breastfed ba-
bies begin receiving vitamin
D supplements during the
rst 2 months and continu-
ing until the infant consumes
enough vitamin D-fortied
formula or milk (after 1 year
of age).

Cost
Breast milk doesnt cost
a cent, while the cost of for-
mula quickly adds up. And
because of the immunities
and antibodies passed onto
them through their mothers
breast milk, breastfed infants
are sick less often than in-
fants who receive formula.
That may mean fewer trips to
the doctors ofce and fewer
prescriptions and medica-
tions. Likewise, women who
breastfeed are less likely to
have to take time off from
work to care for their sick
baby.

Different tastes
A nursing mother will
usually need 500 extra calo-
ries per day, which means
that she should eat a wide va-
riety of well-balanced foods.
This introduces breastfed
babies to different tastes
through their mother breast
milk, which has different a-
vors depending on what their
mothers have eaten. By tast-
ing the foods of their cul-
ture, breastfed infants more
easily accept solid foods.

Convenience
Breast feeding is conve-
nient. No need to go to the
store for formula; breast milk
is always fresh and available.
And when women breast-
feed, theres no need to warm
up bottles in the middle of
the night, breast milk is al-
ways the right temperature.
Its also easy for breastfeed-
ing mothers to be active
and go out and about with
their babies and know that
theyll have food available
for whenever their baby is
hungry.
Benets to mother
and baby
Some studies have found
that breastfeeding may help
protect a child from obesity.
When a breastfed baby feels
that they have had enough to
eat they come away from the
breast, they know when to
stop eating.
Some studies also sug-
gest that children who were
exclusively breastfed have
slightly higher intelligence
scores than children who
were formula fed.
Many nursing mothers re-
ally enjoy the experience of
bonding so closely with their
babies and skin to skin con-
tact can enhance the emo-
tional connection between a
mother and her infant.
The ability to nourish a
baby totally can also help a
new mother feel condent
in her ability to care for her
baby. Breastfeeding also
burns calories and helps
shrink the uterus, so nursing
moms may be able to return
to their pre-pregnancy shape
and weight quicker. In ad-
dition, studies show that
breastfeeding helps lower
the risk of breast cancer, high
blood pressure, diabetes, and
cardiovascular disease, and
also may help decrease the
risk of uterine and ovarian
cancer.

Breastfeeding challenges
Although it is the best
feeding choice for babies and
mother, breastfeeding does
come with some concerns
that new mothers may share.
Where it is easy from the get-
go for some, it can be chal-
lenging for others. Some-
times, both mother and baby
need plenty of patience and
persistence to get used to the
routine of breastfeeding and
sometimes mothers decide
it is not the best way to feed
their baby.
If you choose breastfeed-
ing you will need support
from your partner, your fam-
ily and your friends. Contact
your healthcare professional,
a lactation consultant or lac-
tation educator and let them
help you achieve your goal
to give your new baby the
very best nutrition possible -
breastmilk.

The history of organized religion is lled with what can only be described as sectarian or partisan violence. There have been disagreements from the beginning of Christianity over what should
constitute the correct form of both practice and belief. And these disagreements are only natural: when nite, fallible human beings try to determine what their innite, infallible God expects of
them, there is going to be disagreement. But, wise men and women should realize this and not let these disagreements turn to armed conict and bloodshed. Sadly, this sort of religious violence
has been all too common. Catholics and Protestants waged a series of wars for much of the 16th and 17th century. Shia and Sunni Muslims have waged war against each other for centuries, and of
course there seems to be no end in sight to the violence which Muslims and Jews perpetrate against each other in the Mid-East. This is most unfortunate, since we all claim to believe in a loving
and merciful God who abhors violence and the spilling of innocent blood. We should pray for peace among all of Gods children and do what we can in our lives to foster a spirit of religious unity.
- Christopher Simon For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free, and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 1 Corinthians 12:13

view. Donald McCormick
presently is the member of
the Allamakee County Com-
mittee. He has served three

operate in a program admin-
istered by FSA, be eligible to
vote in a county committee
election and reside in the lo-
cal administrative area where
the person is nominated.
Farmers and ranchers may

erating loans, they make
decisions on disaster and

Continuous CRP Sign-Up
Under continuous sign-up
authority, environmentally
sensitive land devoted to cer-
tain conservation practices
can be enrolled in CRP at any
time. Offers are automatically
accepted provided the land

like CRP enrollments under
general sign-up authority, of-
fers for continuous sign-up
are not subject to competitive
bidding.
The effective date of the
CRP contract is the rst day
of the month following the
month of approval. In cer-
tain circumstances, producers
may defer the effective date
for up to six months.
If the acreage is currently
under CRP contract and is
within one year of the sched-
uled expiration date, the ef-
fective date is October 1 fol-
lowing the expiration date.
To offer land for continu-
ous sign-up, producers should
contact the Allamakee Coun-
ty FSA Ofce.
To be eligible, land must
be cropland that is planted
or considered planted to an
agricultural commodity four
of the previous six crop years
from 2008 to 2013, and is
physically and legally ca-
pable of being planted (no
planting restrictions due to
an easement or other legally
binding instrument) in a nor-
mal manner to an agricultural
commodity.

tioned 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.

Farmers still have a ght-
ing chance to stop Palmer
Amaranth, a tough yield-rob-
bing weed, from spreading in
Iowa.
The Iowa Soybean As-
sociation (ISA) and Iowa
State University Extension
and Outreach are working
together to provide informa-
tion to keep the weed at bay.
Native to the southwestern
United States, Palmer was
rst ofcially identied in
Iowa last September. There
are now documented cases in
Harrison, Page, Muscatine,
Fremont and Davis counties.
Herbicide resistance, primar-
ily to glyphosate, is an issue.
Were at a point that we
can really restrict how quickly
it spreads, said Mike Owen,
ISU weed specialist. If we
ignore it, in the next 10 years
it could be infesting half the
(row crop) acres in Iowa.
That will decimate yields
and the bottom line.
Experts say Palmer out-
breaks in the South have
caused complete crop fail-
ures. A mild to moderate
infestation can result in soy-
bean yield losses of up to 30
percent, with a potential rev-
enue hit of more than $200
per acre.
Early identication and ac-
tion is paramount to mitigate
the spread of Palmer, which
resembles waterhemp, in the
state.
Theres increasing im-
portance to know what weed
species you have in order to
gure out better prescriptive
control methods, said Dr. Ed
Anderson, ISA senior direc-
tor of Supply and Production
Systems.
ISU weed specialists are
available to help identify
Palmer Amaranth, which is
vital for appropriate plan-
ning. Late May is the time to
start scouting for Palmer, but
it will germinate throughout
the growing season.
Recommended control
strategies for Palmer include
soil-applied, residual herbi-
cides and multiple effective
modes of action. Group 3, 15
and some group 14 products
work well. Post-emergent
products are limited due to
herbicide resistance, and
should be used sparingly.
Cover crops and spot cultiva-
tion are also effective mea-
sures.
Waterhemp is a relatively
wimpy weed and can be
controlled with weaker her-
bicide doses unlike Palmer,
which makes identication so
important.
Contact Owen at 515-294-
5936 or mdowen@iastate.edu
for management help. For ad-
ditional information or media
inquiries, contact ISAs Aar-
on Putze at 515-334-1099 or

Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach of-
ces across northeast Iowa
are hosting farmland leas-
ing meetings from July 30
through August 21 at selected
locations. These meetings
will address questions that
land owners, tenants, or other
interested individuals have
about farmland leasing. Lo-
cations include:
Calmar at 9 a.m. August 6;
Dyersville at 9 a.m. and
1:30 p.m. August 12;
Fayette at 9 a.m. August
Farmland leasing meetings in northeast Iowa

Waukon at 1:30 p.m. Au-
gust 13;
Osage at 9 a.m. August 14;
Cresco at 1:30 p.m. August
14;
Waterloo at 9 a.m. August
15;
Tripoli at 1:30 p.m. August
15;
Elkader at 1:30 p.m. on
August 21.
Meetings are approximate-
ly 2 hours in length.
Attendees will gain under-
standing of current cash rental
rate surveys and factors driv-
ing next years rents such as
market trends and input costs.
They will learn about types of
leases and results of farmland
value surveys. Additionally,
information on 2012 Census,
Farm Bill, CSR2, and Nutri-
ent Reduction Strategy will
be presented. A 100-page
workbook will be included
with registration that includes
land leasing information such
as surveys, sample written
lease agreement and termina-
tion forms, and many other
publications.
Due to changes in com-
modity markets, cash rent
values, and government pro-
grams farmland owners and
tenants may have more deci-
sions over the next year than
in previous years, and this
meeting provides information
to stay up to date on farmland
lease issues, says Kristen
Schulte, ISU Extension and
Outreach Farm and Ag Busi-
ness Management Specialist.
Pre-register and nd out
additional meeting and loca-
tion details by calling the cor-
responding local county ex-
tension ofce for the desired
meeting location.
Terminate farm leases by September 1
to make changes to lease contracts
Land owners who want to
make changes to their farm
lease contracts or who want
to change renters are remind-
ed that they need to properly
terminate their leases. Writ-
ten notice of termination may
be delivered personally with
the tenant signing to show ac-
knowledgement of the termi-
nation. The written notice can
also be mailed before Sep-
tember 1 by certied mail.
The Iowa State Bar Associa-
tion has a form called Notice
of Termination of Farm Ten-
ancy that is available on the
ISU Extension website or the
Allamakee SWCD website.
The Allamakee SWCD is
encouraging farm landown-
ers to revise their conserva-
tion plans and attach them to
their farm leases. Many plans
havent been updated since
the mid to late 1990s. Often
renters want the plan to be
written to the minimum that
they have to do to still be in
compliance so they can con-
tinue to receive their program
payments. In most cases,
there is much more that could
be done on highly erodible
ground to protect the land.
Landowners have the right
to state how they want to land
to be managed and the re-
sponsibility to protect it from
eroding. By attaching the con-
servation plan and plan map
to the farm lease, it becomes
part of the lease contract.
This helps the landowner
ensure that the plan is being
followed. The landowner and
renter become more aware
of what is written in the plan
and can see if it needs to be
updated as crop rotations and
tillage practices change. It
can be especially benecial
to include the plan map in the
lease documents because it
clearly shows where specic
practices should be installed
and maintained.
In order to change farm
leases to include the conser-
vation plan (if they do not al-
ready) they need to be termi-
nated by September 1. New
leases have to be signed by
March 1.
The Allamakee SWCD
currently has a project to help
landowners include conserva-
tion in their farm leases by
updating their conservation
plans and discussing addi-
tional conservation provi-
sions. For more information
about this project and how
to include conservation in
a farm lease, contact Sara
Berges at the Allamakee
County SWCD at 563-568-
2246 ext. 3, sara.berges@
ia.nacdnet.net, or stop by the
SWCD ofce at 635 9th St.

Iowa Secretary of Agricul-
ture Bill Northey announced
recently that $1.4 million in
cost share funds are available
to help farmers install new
nutrient reduction practices.
The practices eligible for this
funding are cover crops, no-
till or strip till, or using a ni-
trication inhibitor when ap-
plying fertilizer.
We continue to hear from
farmers interested in doing
even more to limit nutrient
loss and better protect water
quality and these funds will
help them try new voluntary
science-based conserva-
tion practices on their farm,
Northey said. We were ex-
tremely pleased by the re-
sponse last year from farmers
and we are excited to have
funds available again this
year.
The cost share rate for
farmers planting cover crops
is $25 per acre and for farm-
ers trying no-till or strip till is
$10 per acre. Farmers using a
nitrapyrin nitrication inhibi-
tor when applying fall fertil-
izer can receive $3 per acre.
Any farmer not already
utilizing these practices can
apply for this assistance.
Farmers are only eligible for
cost share on up to 160 acres.
The funds will be made avail-
able on Thursday, July 17,
but farmers can immediately
start submitting applications
through their local Soil and
Water Conservation District
ofce.
Ag Secretary announces
$1.4 million available for
water quality practices
Farmers that have already
used these practices on their
farm and are ineligible for
this funding are still encour-
aged to visit their local Soil
and Water Conservation Dis-
trict ofce to discuss other
cost share funding that may
be available.
By allowing farmers to
try new practices on a limited
number of acres at a reduced
cost we want to showcase the
benets of these practices
and encourage farmers to in-
corporate them into their op-
eration, Northey said.
The Iowa Department of
Agriculture and Land Stew-
ardship received $4.4 million
for the Iowa Water Quality
Initiative in scal year 2015.
These funds will allow the
Iowa Department of Agricul-
ture and Land Stewardship
to continue to encourage the
broad adoption of water qual-
ity practices through state-
wide cost share assistance as
well as more intensive work
in targeted watersheds.
Last year in just two weeks
over 1,000 farmers signed up
for cost share funding to help
implement new nutrient re-
duction practices on 100,000
acres. The state provided
$2.8 million in cost share
funding to help farmers try a
water quality practice for the
rst time and Iowa farmers
provided at least another $2.8
million to support these water
quality practices.

VIEWPOINTS
Letter to the Editor
... that I tried to watch a
little of the World Cup soc-
cer action while the USA
team was still in action, but
could not really appreciate
the game.
And like so many others
in the United States, I lost all
interest once the USA lost.
Those many others I
suspect are those maybe 30
years old or older. American
kids seem to like the game,
and American mothers who
dont want their young sons
to get hurt playing that rough
game of football also like
soccer.
It might help if I knew the
rules.
But I have always felt that
what I dislike is the lack of
scoring action. However, on
the same day the USA was
losing 2-1 in overtime, I lat-
er became aware that I had
heard the Chicago Cubs also
play a 2-1 baseball game that
lasted about three and a half
hours... longer than the soc-
cer match!
All depends on what we
have grown up with, I sup-
pose.
Speaking of the Chicago
Cubs, we long-suffering Cub
fans were suffering once
again when the Cubs gave
away two starting pitch-
ers, one with a team-leading
number of wins, and the
other with a team-leading
earned run average.
That happened after we
were teased by the best suc-
cess the Cubs have enjoyed
this season, maybe for a
couple seasons. They had
won 25 and lost 19 during the
stretch, and had closed to just
eight games under .500 with
a four-game winning streak.
There were hopes for a win-
ning season.
Hopes dashed by the trade.
Did it affect the rest of the
team? Next day, they lost 13-
0!
In return for those pitch-
ing stars, the Cubs got a sore-
armed pitcher who was sent
down to AAA and where he
had an ERA of nearly five.
They got a shortstop prospect
who has been injured, and
who is being slated for only
Class AA action. The Cubs
already have an all-star short-
stop and a highly touted AAA
league shortstop. They also
got an outfielder of single A
league quality. Plus a player
to be named later.
So why make such an ap-
parently unfavorable trade?
Reports say they shed
about $5.5 million in sala-
ries. Hmm! Thats about one
years salary for a top notch
major leaguer. It gives them
about $20 million with which
to acquire someone for three
or four years... someone as
good as the two they traded
away?
Even if the weather im-
proves, and todays forecast
holds no promise of that, it is
And then I wrote ...
by Dick Schilling, Editor Emeritus
going to be a long summer.
Speaking of weather, I
had something happen when
I mowed the lawn last week
that I have never experienced
before. As soon as I started
the first cut with the riding
lawnmower, I noticed a bird
zoom from behind and fly
across the front of the mow-
er. When it kept happening,
I noticed that the bird had a
forked tail, similar to what
swallows display. Soon, there
were a couple of them. And
when once one came fly-
ing straight at me, I thought
maybe it was large enough
to be a Purple Martin. But on
further reflection, I still favor
a swallow.
I suspect the mower was
disturbing insects which I
could not see, but the birds
obviously could.
More power to em. There
are lots of bugs this summer.

I began noticing some-
thing wasnt right in 2006,
said 67-year-old Linda Buy-
tendorp of Crawfordville,
Florida, but I was in denial
and so was my husband. I
told him he needed to see a
doctor, but he said nothing
was wrong and if I kept it up
he was going to walk out and
never come back.
What the Buytendorps
were denying was husband
Frans out-of-character prob-
lems with confusion and
memory. Before his retire-
ment, Frans had been the re-
gional president of a chemi-
cal company with 14 plants
stretching from Boston to
Miami. By 2006, he was hav-
ing trouble understanding his
bank statements.
And hed been an avid
reader, sometimes two or
three books a week, said
Buytendorp. Then I began
noticing hed read a book a
while and have to start over
because of forgetting what
hed read.
When the Buytendorps
visited Lindas hospitalized
mother in 2010, Frans be-
came deeply confused, in-
cluding not knowing where
he was (Utah), why (to see
his mother-in-law) or later
that she had died. After re-
turning to Florida, the Buy-
tendorps soon discovered
Frans had a form of demen-
tia, probably Alzheimers
disease. Physicians can only
diagnose Alzheimers dis-
ease with 100 percent cer-
tainty postmortem.
Disabilities
by Daniel J. Vance, MS, LPC, NCC
Buytendorp had advice for
family members of people
exhibiting dementia symp-
toms. First, they need to do
whatever possible to get their
loved ones to a doctor, but
not just any doctor, she said.
They need to visit a memory
disorders clinic. Our rst ex-
perience was with a neurolo-
gist who didnt specialize in
Alzheimers. He only put my
husband on medication, and
didnt give us so much as a
pamphlet about what would
happen during the course of
the disease.
So they visited a memory
disorders clinic in Tallahas-
see. It was there I learned
how to care for (Frans) and
go along with what he said,
she said. Sometimes, you
have to b to a dementia pa-
tient. For example, (74-year-
old Frans) sometimes thinks
our adult children are still
teenagers and will want to
know where they are. If I
correct him, and say theyre
grown, he becomes con-
fused. But if I say they are
at swim practice and will be
home at 9:30, hes all right.
She said learning to not
correct her husbands mem-
ory has improved their mar-
riage more than anything.
Buytendorp also stressed
the importance of education,
and seeking knowledge from
groups like Forget Me Not
on Facebook.

To the Editor:
Some Allamakee quarry
owners were at a recent meet-
ing of the Board of Supervi-
sors. Last year one quarry
company received 95% of the
ood work and the other quar-
ries in the county received the
other 5%, according to one
quarry owners information.
Our Allamakee County
Engineer said it was because
there is always someone at
that quarry and they have
more quarries. We assume
he meant there was some-
one at these quarries to drive
the end loader and an end
loader there. He added that
the quarry company has its
own trucks. Well, the quarry
across the road does not have
someone in it all the time.
And the trucks going in and
out lately have been Allama-
kee County trucks. And since
the end loader only shows up
now and then, there is not an
end loader there all the time.
The end loader belongs to Al-
lamakee County, at least the
one that was just there.
That sure would make run-
ning a quarry easy if Alla-
makee County furnished the
trucks, truck drivers, the end
loader, the fuel for the end
loader and trucks and their
upkeep. Then all the quarries
could sell rock cheap. Their
only investment would be
the crushing of the rock and
the scales. And this quarrys
scale isnt the type of scale
our County Engineer said he
wants quarries to have. The
scale does not have a time
stamp, it does not have elec-
tricity. These were some of
the grievances our Allamakee
County Engineer had with the
other quarries.
So, is our Allamakee
County Engineer saying, Do
what I say, not what I do?
And for those who have
asked why a quarry company
would haul rock into a quarry,
you will have to ask them. We
can make a guess.

A Message Via The Air
Residents of Lansing were
rather curious about 7 oclock
last Wednesday evening,
when an airplane circled the
town, ying very low, sev-
eral times and apparently
was trying to land. However,
such proved not to be the
case, as the aviator turned
out to be John Sullivan of
La Crosse, who after several
circles, threw out a message
in a container to his young
lady friend, Miss Rita Mary
Verdon. The young man has
visited here before and knew
the location of her home
his message landing near Dr.
Thorntons corner in the same
block, very close to the Hess
house in which Miss Verdon
lives. He is a grandson of Lar-
ry Keenan, former Lafayette
pioneer, now living in North
La Crosse, and a ne appear-
ing young manwho gets a
message to his girl friendor
knows the reason why.
