Parker said additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments. Allamakee County Engineer Brian Ridenour

Original "message in a bottle" acquaintance from nearly half a century ago recently renewed

by Kelli Boylen

Stories about finding a message in a bottle have been around for, well, as long as there have been bottles. Darrel Koozer of rural Harpers Ferry has one such story of his own to tell. In July of 1966, 10-yearold Geir Terje Hanson made a habit of putting bottles with messages in them into the North Sea from his family’s cabin at Stavanger, Norway, located along the southwest edge of Norway. March 9, 1967, Koozer, then a 29-year-old sailor with the United States Navy, found one of Hanson’s bottles while walking along the beach on San Salvador, one of the island of the Bahamas. “The bottle was anchored in the sand and it looked like there was something inside, so I pushed it back and forth until I got it out,” Koozer said. According to information Koozer would find out later, the bottle had been put in the sea about eight months prior to his discovery and had traveled more than 4,470 miles

on the ocean currents. Koozer no longer recalls exactly what the message in the screw-cap bottle said. The note was faded and difficult to read, but he was able to make out enough of it to write to the address. He had no idea he was writing to a 10-year-old boy or anything else about who he was writing to, beyond the fact that the person was in Norway. Hanson kept the letter he received from Koozer all these years. After telling about finding the bottle, Koozer had written, “This (finding the bottle) has interested me greatly and so I am writing this letter to you. Could you be so kind as to tell me when you put the bottle in the sea and did you put it in the sea in Norway? I am an America sailor on duty here in San Salvador, Bahamas. My home is in the state of Nebraska in the United States. My job in the U.S. Navy is the work of a medic. I would be very pleased if you would answer this letter and tell me something about yourself. I will answer all the questions you ask me. Looking forward to hearing from you. HMG Darrel D. Koozer.” He addressed the letter to the name on the note, which was that of Hanson’s father, Harald. The local newspaper in Hanson’s hometown published an article in the spring of 1967 telling the story about the little boy’s message in a bottle being found by a sailor in the U.S. Navy. Hanson and his family wrote back, but Koozer did not keep that letter and his life became busy with other things. Koozer was based on the isolated duty station of San

Acquaintance renewed 47 years later ...

Darrel Koozer of rural Harpers Ferry holds a copy of his initial letter and envelope he mailed to the family of Geir Terje Hansen of Stavanger, Norway in the summer of 1967 in response to a note he discovered in a bottle while serving in the U.S. Navy in San Salvador, Bahamas. Originally 10 years old when he received the letter, Hanson recently rediscovered it in his father's belongings and renewed with Koozer. Photo by Kelli Boylen. Salvador for about two years. San Salvador was a naval station from the early 1950s until the late 1960s. The station was intended to track Soviet submarines in the North Atlantic near America, track test missiles fired from Cape Canaveral/Cape Kennedy in

Florida, track satellites and to aid long-range navigation. Koozer recalls the island was only about six miles wide and 13 miles long and there was one road that ran all the way around the island. “Communication was our main operative,” he said.

The Air Force flew in supplies and mail to the approximately 100 sailors at the San Salvador station weekly. When the weather was bad the plane didn’t come. Koozer retired from the Navy when he was 37. He and his wife, Janet, settled in rural Allamakee County (she is originally from the local area) in 1971. Janet was working as an operator in Waukegan, IL and he was at the Naval Station Great Lakes when they met. For 47 years that was the entire story of the message in the bottle. Then in April of this year, Koozer received a card in the mail from Hanson, and since then they have been emailing back and forth. Hanson says he found the letter Koozer wrote to him in 1967 when he was going through his father’s papers. There are not many people in the U.S. with the name of Darrel Koozer, so Hanson was able to find a mailing address for him by searching on the internet. Hanson is now retired and caring for his 95-yearold mother. He has lived in the same town, Stavanger, in western Norway his entire life, except for the one year he served in the military, from 1976-77. He has a cousin who lives near Seattle, WA with her husband, and they have children and grandchildren who live in the U.S. Koozer is semi-retired and works for the Waukon Feed Ranch and Bryan Herman as needed. He also enjoys making clocks in his spare time. “It was a surprise to hear from him and we have started to e-mail each other now,” Koozer said of Hanson. “Geir is an interesting guy.”

reported that storms in late June were responsible for approximately $240,000 in damages to the county's secondary roads. He said that repair consisted primarily of replacement of rip-rap and fill around culverts and bridges, as well as some repair of gravel roads. Allamakee County Emergency Management Director Chris Dahlstrom said that the City of Waterville reported an estimated $20,000 in damages to public infrastructure, including roads, and Allamakee County Conservation reported minor damage in County parks. No damages were reported by the City of Waukon, but City Clerk Diane Sweeney said that the City Council continues to look for sources of funding for flood mitigation projects. Assistance for the state and affected local governments can include, as required: • Payment of not less than 75 percent of the eligible costs for debris removal and emergency protective measures taken to save lives and protect property and public health. Emergency protective measures assistance is available to state and eligible local governments on a costsharing basis. • Payment of not less than 75 percent of the eligible costs for repairing or replacing damaged public facilities, such as roads, bridges, utilities, buildings, schools, recreational areas and similar publicly-owned property, as well as certain private nonprofit organizations engaged in community service activities. • Payment of not more than 75 percent of the approved costs for hazard mitigation projects undertaken by state and local governments to prevent or reduce long-term risk to life and property from natural or technological disasters. Approved public repair

projects are paid through the state from funding provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other participating federal agencies.

Low-interest federal disaster loans are also available to certain private, non-profit organizations (PNPs) in Iowa through the Small Business istration (SBA). PNPs that provide essential services of a governmental nature are eligible for assistance. "PNP organizations should the HSEMD (Home Security and Emergency Management Department) Public Information Officer at 515-725-3231 or via email at [email protected] to obtain information about local briefings. At the briefings, PNP representatives will need to provide information about their organization," said Tanya N. Garfield, Director of SBA's Disaster Field Operations CenterWest. FEMA will use that information to determine if the PNP provides an "essential governmental service" and is a "critical facility" as defined by law. If so, FEMA may provide the PNP with a Public Assistance grant for their eligible costs. If not, FEMA may refer the PNP to SBA for disaster loan assistance. SBA may lend PNPs up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets. SBA can also lend additional funds to help with the cost of making improvements that protect, prevent or minimize the same type of disaster damage from occurring in the future. For certain private, nonprofit organizations of any size, SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster

Iowans invited to help set water quality goals for streams and rivers Iowans are invited to attend one of six public water quality meetings held by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) across the state.

Des Moines. Commissioners moved the meeting to the Wallace State Office Building Auditorium, located at 502 East Ninth Street in Des Moines. If adopted, the rules will incorporate by reference the federal rules that require CAFOs to comply with national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) permits. The Iowa Legislature directed adopting the federal rules. Adoption was also a condition of a work plan agreement signed between the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency September 11, 2013. The federal rules require confinement feeding operations that are CAFOs and discharge to waters of the U.S. to seek an NPDES permit. Generally, confinements are animal feeding operations that are totally roofed. The U.S. EPA defines a large CAFO as one that confines at least 1,000 cattle or cow/calf pairs, 700 mature dairy cattle, 2,500 finishing swine or 55,000 turkeys. In other business, commissioners will be asked to approve contracts for watershed projects, statewide groundwater analysis and a food waste study. The meeting begins at 10 a.m. with public comments to follow. At 1 p.m., commissioners will hear an appeal of a proposed contested case decision for P and J Pork, L.L.C. A demand for a hearing from Palo Alto County is scheduled for 2 p.m. The meeting is open to the public.

Waukon City Council hears City Engineer's plan for Third Street NE by Bob Beach Prior to its regular meeting Monday night, August 4, the Waukon City Council met in special session with City Engineer Lyle TeKippe of TeKippe Engineering (a division of Fehr Graham Engineering), who presented the Council with plans to address drainage problems on Third Street NE, which was recently paved. TeKippe's plan to correct the drainage problems between Second and Fourth Avenues involves the excavation of soil between the street and the sidewalk and replacing it with open stone, which would allow drainage to an existing ten-inch drainage tile. He emphasized that he would meet in person individually within a week with property owners in that area of concern before any of the proposed work is done.

The Council authorized TeKippe to move forward with the plan, but at least one property owner was not satisfied. Former Waukon Mayor Keith Schroeder, who resides within that area of concern, pointedly asked TeKippe why a "drastic change" was made in raising the street and why the Council allowed the street to be raised above the level of the sidewalk, which he said is a violation of City Code. No one seemed to have a direct answer for those questions, but Schroeder was told his concerns could be addressed during TeKippe's individual meetings with property owners. Schroeder said that he had never had water in his basement prior to the paving and raising of the street, but since the project was completed he has spent over $4,000 repairing damage from water in

Funds remain available for Affordable Housing Rehabilitation Program in Waukon to assist with home improvements It’s not too late for Waukon residents to take advantage of the Affordable Housing Rehabilitation Grant for owner-occupied homeowners in the City of Waukon. Eighteen local homeowners have already taken advantage of the program and have had help with their windows/doors, roofs, electrical, furnace, driveway repair and/or some past flood mitigation help. These homeowners have stated that they are highly satisfied with the program and the help they were able to receive. The Waukon Economic Development Corporation and the Federal Home Loan Bank are announcing that there is still funding left in the program. This program will finance projects through a five-year receding forgivable loan and funding limits

per project are set at $7,000 per project. Homeowners needing some “fix-up” help are encouraged to check the program out yet this summer. Funding will only be available through the fall of 2014. Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission (UERPC) has the responsibility of istering the grant and overseeing work. Anyone wishing to learn more about the program or wanting to obtain an application should Lori Brockway or Sarah Snitker at UERPC, 563-864-7551 or visit www. uerpc.org. Applications or information can also be obtained at the Waukon Economic Development office through Ardie Kuhse, 563568-2624. This is an Equal Opportunity Program.

During its regular meeting, the Council agreed to authorize payment of $75,005.16 to Skyline Construction for its work on the Third Street NE project (Councilman Steve Wiedner voted "no") and payment of $14,610.75 to Fehr Graham Engineering for its work on the project (Wiedner and Councilman Don Steffens voted "no"). Also during the Council's regular meeting, City Zoning Al Lyon presented the Council with a plat for the planned subdivision of the former Town and Country Trailer Court, which includes building lots that the Allamakee Community School District (ACSD) will use for its home building program that is currently part of the curriculum for its Construction class and other vocational programs. Lyon said that to move forward with preparing the lots, survey pins would need to be placed, easements would need to be approved for utility access and the street would need to be set to grade. Lyon suggested that a development agreement with the school district be drafted. ACSD Superintendent Dave Herold told the Council that the district is interested

Lansing Council approves ordinance to increase water and sewer rates by B.J. Tomlinson At the regular meeting of the Lansing City Council Monday, August 4, Mayor Mike Brennan, for the third and final time, read Ordinance #191 re-specifying water and sewer rates. Resident Deb Volker asked if the Council had made any progress on writing a policy to help elderly and low-income residents with paying the new rates. Councilman Dick Roeder and Mayor Brennan both indicated the Council is aware of the problem and is working on it, but no formal policy has been written. The Council approved the ordinance and the new rates will go into effect September 1, 2014. Police Chief Ed Stahl reported he issued 17 parking tickets at the Marina over the weekend in an effort to enforce the parking policy and relieve congestion. Marina slip renters are issued a parking permit and are only allowed one parking space per

port local shelters. 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 benefits, walkers also now have the satisfaction of knowing that their walking directly benefits their local shelter. The local community can now HSNEI sim-

HSNEI by walking the dog

Taking a dog for a walk is now not only good for a person's health and their dog, it can now raise money to all pets at local animal shelters. The "Take your Walk for a Dog" program is a revolutionary dog-powered fundraising tool for animal shelters that uses a free mobile App to promote healthy pets and healthy humans while raising money to sup-

Heath Draeger, People Service representative, said a new vacuum pump has been installed and the department is now in the process of taking a curb stop inventory. Mabel Terry presented a second water/sewer bill to the Council, asking for an adjustment on her water bill due to a leak. The Council agreed to a $71.02 adjustment, half of the sewer fee. The Council reviewed and approved Resolutions #848 and #849, approving and adopting preliminary plans and specifications for the North Front Street Sewer and Water Extension project. According to the Proposed Resolution of Necessity document submitted, the project “…will include installation of sewer and water mains,

Grants available for schools to fund ag-related field trips through Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area program Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area (SSNHA) is providing teachers the opportunity to immerse their students in the world of agriculture through handson experiences. SSNHA will begin accepting applications for the 2014-2015 Bus Grant Program season, beginning August 15. Bus Grants help fund transportation to agriculturally-related field trips to SSNHA Partner Sites and farm sites throughout the region. Student experiences range from discovering where milk comes from at Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy in Hudson to learning about ag drainage tile at the Hurstville Lime Kilns in Maquoketa. Through a partnership with GROWMARK, Inc., a total of $10,000 will be available to northeast Iowa schools during

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

Bob Hauer Consumer Horticulture [email protected] 641-394-2174 CONTROL OF FOLIAR DISEASES ON TOMATOES Septoria leaf spot and early blight are common foliar diseases of tomatoes in home gardens. Fungal diseases overwinter on plant debris in the soil. Fungal spores are splashed onto plant foliage by raindrops or splashing water and invade the plant tissue when leaf surfaces are wet. Rainy weather in spring and early summer favors development of foliar diseases on tomatoes. Little can be done to control foliar diseases on tomatoes in the current growing season. However, good cultural practices can help prevent foliar diseases from reoccurring in future years. This fall, carefully remove as much of the tomato debris from the garden as possible and destroy it. Plant tomatoes in a different location in the garden next year. Rotate crops so that tomatoes and other solanaceous crops (potatoes, peppers and eggplants) are not grown in the same area for three or four years. A threeor four-year rotation may not be feasible for gardeners with small vegetable gardens. However, small plot gardeners should rotate

tournament will be held at Silvercrest Country Club in Decorah. The planning committee is requesting the community's help in locating former North Winneshiek students, staff and teachers. Names and information should be emailed to [email protected]. Volunteers are needed to plan the reunion and assist the planning committee throughout the weekend. Anyone interested in volunteering should email nwalumnireunion@gmail. com or call the Decorah/ Winneshiek County Visitor’s Center at 563-382-2023.

as much as possible. There is no home garden treatment that effectively destroys the disease pathogens in the soil. When planting tomatoes, space plants approximately three feet apart. Wide plant spacing increases air movement and promotes rapid drying of plant foliage. Grow tomato plants in wire cages or train them to stakes. The foliage of tomatoes growing in wire cages and those trained to stakes dries more quickly than those sprawling on the ground. In early June, apply a two- to three-inch layer of mulch around each tomato plant. Shredded leaves, dry grass clippings and straw are excellent mulches. The mulch reduces the splashing of fungal spores onto plant foliage. Mulching tomato plants in early June allows the soil to warm up in spring. Avoid wetting tomato foliage when watering. Apply water directly to the ground around plants with a soaker hose, slow running hose or watering can. If a sprinkler must be used, water in the morning so the foliage dries quickly. While cultural practices can help control foliar diseases of tomatoes, fungicides may also be needed. Apply fungicides, such as chlorothalonil, at regular intervals beginning three to four weeks after planting. Thorough coverage is essential. Be sure to spray both the upper and lower leaf surfaces as well as the centers of the plants. Spray to the point of run-off.

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 lowincome seniors better access to these fresh and nutritious foods,” Northey said. The Farmers Market Nutrition Programs are istered 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 Paul Ovrom, Program , 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 first-come, first-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 Iowa’s 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 benefits 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 Iowa’s WIC Program. The state’s 20 local WIC agencies have begun to distribute checks and nutritional education information. WIC recipients interested in obtaining the benefits are encouraged to their local WIC clinic or visit www.idph.state.ia.us/ wic/ for more information. “We’re 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 firstcome first-served basis should help to get the checks to those folks that are the most excited about purchasing local fresh produce from vendors at Iowa’s 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 first-come first-served basis and the checks are available through Area Agency on

John Deere Foundation donates to Corner of Hope ...

The John Deere Foundation recently made a donation of $2,500 to the Corner of Hope Foods Resource Bank Growing Project that has taken place in Allamakee County each of the last 10 years. The funding is an incentive to continue improving the project, which the committee and the project participants have done each year by involving new , individuals, businesses and organizations, and the money will be used to help defray project expenses and maximize the local project's contribution to the Foods Resource Bank. Pictured above, left to right, are Corner of Hope Joe Sweeney and John Prestemon, Waukon Implement Store Manager Tom Kuennen representing the John Deere Foundation, and Corner of Hope Dennis Byrnes, John Meyer and Ron Snitker.

SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS

to this season’s All-Conference honorees: Junior Adam Benzing, Second Team Infield Junior Jake Ronan, Honorable Mention Outfield

THANK YOU and BEST OF LUCK to this season’s four seniors:

TYLER BENZING

PARKER HESSE

SAM SCHWARTZ

HUNTER HAMMEL

The 2014 Waukon baseball team played to a 6-25 overall season record, including a mark of 4-14 that placed the Indians seventh in the final seven-team Northeast Iowa Conference standings. The baseball Indians seemed to be peaking at the right time, as they closed out their season with three wins in their final seven Northeast Iowa Conference games to double their win total for the season. That late-season momentum was abruptly ended, however, as the baseball Tribe opened postseason tournament play against Class 3A’s topranked Waverly-Shell Rock Go-Hawks, a team that played itself into the Class 3A State Tournament. The Indians were the first postseason victim for the highly-regarded Go-Hawks, falling by a 15-3 count in five innings in the opening round of District Tournament play. A total of four seniors led this season’s team in their final appearances in a Waukon uniform. Tyler Benzing, Hunter Hammel, Parker Hesse and Sam Schwartz will be greatly missed for their hard work and dedication. The Indians landed a pair of players on the All-Conference list for the Northeast Iowa Conference. Junior Adam Benzing was named a Second Team Infielder and junior Jake Ronan received Honorable Mention as an outfielder for their efforts on the field this season.

Kee baseball team posts 23-17 record during 2014 campaign that we either had leads in or just couldn’t complete late rallies in, and we missed out on our 10th consecutive conference championship. That was true in our postseason as well, as a much-improved Postville team took us to extra innings for the second time this season, but we just couldn’t score the winning run when we needed it.” Kee’s season record included a mark of 10-6 that placed the Hawks fourth in the final 10-team Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) standings, with five of those UIC losses coming to the three teams that finished above the Hawks, including sweeps suffered at the hands of top-two finishers South Winneshiek and Clayton Ridge/Central and splits with third-place North Fayette and fifth-place Turkey Valley. South Winneshiek finished the season with an historic 34-2 overall record that included its first-ever State Tournament qualification. Losses to perennial powers and/or state qualifiers like Decorah, Mason City Newman, Clear Lake and Iowa City Regina also peppered the early half of Kee’s sched-

The 2014 Kee baseball season finished with above average results with a 23-17 overall season record, but not necessarily at that same level in comparison to recent Kee baseball legacy. For the first time in 10 seasons the baseball Hawks fell short of an Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) championship, and for the first time in recent memory as well, Kee’s diamond dwellers played just two postseason tournament games, both of those shortcomings being the result of significant overall improvement in UIC competition this season, according to legendary Kee baseball Coach Gene Schultz. “We struggled early on in the season, having some kids start the season late due to track and also having some early injuries, but once we came together we found out that we could be very competitive in an Upper Iowa Conference that was well above average this season,” Coach Schultz said. “We found ourselves out of the conference race early, played our way back into it mid-season, but then lost some games

ule, but perhaps tempered the Hawks for some late-season momentum that saw them win seven of their final nine regular season games, including a split at Class 4A Dubuque Senior. “Senior has a good squad that split with a Dubuque Hempstead squad that played its way into the State Tournament,” Coach Schultz said. “We played two tight games with them to earn a split and prove that we were playing good baseball as the season was winding down.” That late-season momentum didn’t carry over as much into the postseason as Hawk fans have come to expect, as the Hawks won their firstround district game, 7-1, over a Wapsie Valley team with just two wins on the season before falling to Postville, 5-4 in nine innings, to have their season ended relatively early by a Pirate team they had just beaten, 12-0 in five innings, a week earlier. “We struggled a little bit in our first district game against a Wapsie Valley team that wasn’t having a very good year but played us fairly tough,” Coach Schultz said. “And we just couldn’t find

Shooky Fink 13 and Under Baseball Tournament Champions ...

The Waukon Park and Recreation 13 and Under baseball team won its division of the annual Shooky Fink Tournament held at New Albin Friday and Saturday, July 18 and 19. The team won its tournament pool by defeating the Hokah, MN seventh grade team, 10-2, and a team from Caledonia, MN, 4-1, during Friday’s competition to earn a spot in the tournament championship game Saturday, where the Waukon team clinched the tournament title with a 5-3 victory over the Hokah, MN sixth grade team.

We had played them to extra innings much earlier in the season, and both teams came back on the other to force extra innings in that tournament game, but we just couldn’t come up with the winning run.” With delayed starts and injuries weighing in on the slow start Coach Schultz previously mentioned, the Hawks were also “homeless” for much of the first half of the season, as continuing renovations to their Shooky Fink Field in New Albin were not complete enough for them to play on that field until about midway through the season. Kee was able to play its early-season home games on the City of Lansing ball field. A total of six seniors led this year’s club, including Quinn Brennan, Chris Carroll, Jason Delaney, Jared Donahue, Nick Gavin and Matt Manning, many of them being multi-year competitors for the Hawks. “We had six seniors, all of them solid ball players,” Coach Schultz commented. “With Chris Carroll, Jason Delaney and Matt Manning in the outfield, I think we had one of the fastest outfields we’ve had in a long time, chasing down long fly balls for outs and taking away doubles and triples.” As one might expect, those seniors dotted the leadership aspect in the Hawks’ final statistical numbers. Manning and Carroll paced Kee’s offense with batting averages

of .352 and .325, respectively, Carroll also boasting team highs of 43 hits, 10 doubles and 33 runs batted in (RBI). Manning’s 47 runs scored and 11 successful stolen bases out of 12 attempts were also team highs, as was his on-base percentage of .497 that resulted in him being on base nearly every other trip he made to the plate. That senior leadership also carried over to the pitching mound, where Brennan, Donahue and Manning shouldered 152 of the Hawks’ 249 innings pitched this season, Brennan pacing that effort with 55-2/3 frames on the mound. Manning and Donahue posted respective records of 7-1 and 6-4, Donahue striking out a team-high 59 batters and limiting opposition to a team-best .171 batting average. Manning posted a team-best earned run average (ERA) of just 1.69. Also right in the mix of those leadership numbers was junior Ryan Kuhn, who threw 33-1/3 innings and a second-best opposing team batting average of .187 while also posting top-three team numbers of 33 strike-outs and an ERA of 3.78 on the mound. Kuhn also led Kee’s offensive starters with just nine strike-outs in the team’s most at-bats (122) while posting team second-bests of 27 runs scored and 25 RBI. With Kee’s program experiencing its second consecutive season where it will graduate at least two-thirds of it starting line-up with

this year’s graduation of six players, veteran leadership for future seasons is beginning to see a bit of thinning in numbers. “We’ll be missing six seniors from this year’s team, and we’ll only be returning two seniors and one or two juniors for next season who have considerable varsity experience,” Coach Schultz said. “We’re going to need some of our younger players to really step up next year. We may have a bit of rebuilding to do in the near future, but we’ve got some of those younger kids who will be playing some fall ball and who are already throwing the ball around.” Although Coach Schultz appreciates those extra efforts of keeping in touch with baseball outside of the season, he also advises his players to be involved with other sports throughout the school year. “A school our size can’t afford to have kids specialize in just one sport, so we encour-

The next LifeServe Blood Center blood drive will be held Thursday, August 7 from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church located in Waukon (614 Rossville Road). Blood drives are held the first Thursday of every month in Waukon to allow for more donors to give. The LifeServe Blood Center supplies Veterans Memorial Hospital with it blood and blood products. Blood centers across the United States see a decrease in blood donations during the busy summer months. During the summer, people become more active, have busier schedules, spend more time outdoors and take vacations. While donations decline, hospitals see an increase in the

need for blood. More driving can mean more automobile accidents. A person who has suffered severe injuries from an automobile accident can need up to 50 units of blood. Appointments are encouraged and walk-ins can only be accepted as the schedule permits. To schedule an appointment, the LifeServe Blood Center at 800287-4903. All those wishing to give blood are asked to give themselves at least 56 days between blood donations. Those donating blood should not fast, but rather eat a normal, healthy meal that day. Anyone giving blood must be 17 years of age or older, be in general good health and weigh at least 120 pounds.

The hospital will be holding a 5K Run/Walk at 8 a.m. the next morning as well. Registration begins at 7 a.m. For more information on these activities, call Veterans Memorial Hospital at 563568-3411.

Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit It may seem odd that the very first of the beatitudes bestows a blessing on the poor in spirit and promises that the kingdom of heaven is theirs (Matthew 5:3). Should we not seek spiritual riches rather than spiritual poverty? One chapter later we are told to store up treasure in heaven, for “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). The blessing for the poor in spirit is not meant to denigrate spiritual treasures but rather to elevate the spirit of poverty and humility. Jesus says repeatedly that he did not come to call those who are already saved, but rather to save the lost. The healthy do not need a doctor, but the sick do. We would do well to here that the scribes and Pharisees were paradigms of virtue, rich in spirit and proud of their piety, but, didn’t seem to need or heed Jesus’s message. Jesus had vastly more to offer the weeping adulteress who was thrown at His feet than he did to her accs. And He had more respect for the impoverished widow who humbly put her two small coins in the temple treasury than the wealthy who made a show of putting in larger amounts. God loves the poor, and those who are poor in spirit even more, so we should count it a blessing when we are feeling lowly and humbled. - Christopher Simon Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:9-10

What’s Up at the FSA Office?

Farmland leasing meetings to be held in northeast Iowa beginning this week Iowa State University Extension and Outreach offices across northeast Iowa are hosting farmland leasing 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. Locations 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 13; Waukon at 1:30 p.m. August 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;

Pasture walk to feature dairy pasture management ISU Extension and Outreach will host a pasture walk near Garnavillo from 1-3 p.m. Wednesday, August 27 at the Andy Schaefers dairy farm. Schaefers grazes 118 crossbreeds and will lead attendees on a walking tour with a focus on remote paddocks for bred heifers with incorporated water lines and high tensile fencing. Pasture management will be discussed with the group and Clayton County NRCS will be available to answer questions. The pasture walk is located at 25037 Lake Rd., Garnavillo. From Garnavillo, go east on C17 3.5 miles, then south on 232 Street for 1.1 mile, then south on Lake Rd. for 2.3 miles. Farm is on the right The Northeast Iowa Graziers plan pasture walks to local farms to help producers learn how better pasture management can result in healthier profits and a healthier environment. The walks are organized by area graziers

and ed by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Natural Resource Conservation Service. Pasture walks are informal educational programs designed to demonstrate one or two key areas of pasture management, as well as answer any questions you might have. Each has a slightly different focus and all producers who are dependent on forage production are invited to attend to improve their own pasture management.

Elkader at 1:30 p.m. August 21. Meetings are approximately 2 ½ hours long. Attendees will gain understanding of current cash rental rate surveys and factors driving next year’s 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 Nutrient 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 termination forms, and other publications. “Due to changes in commodity markets, cash rent values, and government programs farmland owners and tenants may have more decisions 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 Business Management Specialist.

about the business and running a dairy farm. Young Dairy Producer Peer Groups allow new and fellow young producers to gather together to discuss topics of interest within the group to provide farmer to farmer learning and interaction. The first session will include topics surrounding “What is it costing to raise my heifers and do I really need to raise them all?” With costs of raising heifers higher than their current market value if sold, precision management is needed as there are many ways to add value to these heifers before they the milking string. Two sites are being planned. Thursday, August 28 at the Allamakee County Extension Office, 21 Allamakee Street, Waukon and Friday, August 29 at the Bremer County Extension Office, 720 7th Ave SW, Tripoli.

provided at 7 CFR Part 1430. NOTE: Producers can collect the 2011, 2012 and 2013 production history for these years now while we wait for the clearance of the regulations. (The MPP-Dairy program will be using one of the highest production history records of 2011, 2012 or 2013 for calculating payments.)

Margin Protection Program for Dairy Producers February 7, 2014 the 2014 Farm Bill was signed into law. The 2014 Farm Bill authorizes MPP-Dairy, a new dairy program, to replace the MILC program no later than September 1, 2014. The MPP-Dairy program is a voluntary program that provides dairy operations with risk management coverage that will pay producers when the difference (the margin) between the national price of milk and the average cost of feed falls below a certain level selected by the producers in a dairy operation. The MPP-Dairy program offers dairy producers the following: • catastrophic coverage, at no cost to the producer, other than an annual $100 istrative fee • greater coverage at various levels for a in addition to the $100 istrative fee. All dairy operations in the U.S. not participating in the Livestock Gross Margin program istered by the Risk Management Agency, except as allowed by Notice LD-637, are eligible to participate in the MPP-Dairy program. A dairy operation is any one or more dairy producers that produce and market milk as a single dairy operation in which each dairy producer does all the following: • shares in the risk of producing milk • makes contributions (including land, labor, manage-

ment, equipment, or capital) to the dairy operation of the individual or entity, which are at least commensurate with the individual or entity’s share of the proceeds of the operation. For purposes of ing in the MPP-Dairy program, if a dairy: • operation is operated by more than one dairy producer, all of the dairy producers of the participating dairy operation shall be treated as a single dairy operation • producer operates two or more dairy operations, each dairy operation, if eligible, shall separately to participate in the program. To participate in the MPPDairy program, an eligible dairy operation must: • have a production history determined for the dairy operation • to participate during a announced by FSA • pay a $100 istrative fee annually for the duration of the MPP-Dairy program • select a coverage level ranging from $4.00 to $8.00 per cwt, in $0.50 increments • select a coverage percentage of the dairy operation’s production history ranging from 25 percent to 90 percent, in 5 percent increments. Note: A dairy operation selection of a $4.00 coverage level is considered catastrophic level coverage at a 90 percent coverage percentage for only the istrative fee. However, a dairy operation selecting a coverage level above $4.00 must also pay a , in addition to the istrative fee, for the higher coverage on their selected percentage of dairy operation’s production history. Clearance of MPP-Dairy program regulations is currently underway. FSA will announce full program details upon publication of the MPP-Dairy final rule in the Federal (FR). When published, regulations will be

Land owners who want to make changes to their farm lease contracts or who want to change renters are reminded that they need to properly

terminate their leases. Written notice of termination may be delivered personally with the tenant g to show acknowledgement of the termi-

Repealing Standard Payment Reduction for Grazing by Livestock for Beginning Farmer or Rancher Section 2004 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 reduced the standard payment reduction for beginning farmers or ranchers for conducting grazing. Prescribed grazing for the control of invasive species and routine grazing by livestock of a beginning farmer or rancher is authorized without any reduction in the rental rate if the grazing is: • consistent with the conservation of soil, water quality, and wildlife habitat • subject to appropriate restrictions during the nesting season. Effective February 7, 2014 this provides policy that the standard payment reduction for beginning farmers or ranchers conducting prescribed or routine grazing shall not be assessed. Managed grazing will still have the 25% payment reduction. If CRP participants need to know if they have a prescribed or routine grazing plan for their CRP contract, the Allamakee County FSA office at 563-568-2148. Continuous CRP Under continuous authority, environmentally sensitive land devoted to certain conservation practices can be enrolled in CRP at any time. Offers are automatically accepted provided the land and producer meet certain eligibility requirements. Unlike CRP enrollments under general authority, offers for continuous

are not subject to competitive bidding. The effective date of the CRP contract is the first day of the month following the month of approval. In certain 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 scheduled expiration date, the effective date is October 1 following the expiration date. To offer land for continuous , producers should the Allamakee County FSA Office. 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 capable of being planted (no planting restrictions due to an easement or other legally binding instrument) in a normal manner to an agricultural commodity. The land must be eligible and suitable for any of these conservation practices: • Riparian buffers; • Wildlife habitat buffers; • Wetland buffers; • Filter strips; • Wetland restoration; • Grass waterways; • Shelterbelts; • Living snow fences; • Contour grass strips; • Constructed wetlands; • Restoration of aquaculture wetlands; • Wildlife habitat restoration within approved State Areas for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE) projects; • Salt tolerant vegetation or; • Shallow water areas for wildlife. Land within an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-designated public wellhead area also may be eligible for enrollment on a continuous basis.

of Termination of Farm Tenancy” that is available on the ISU Extension website or the Allamakee SWCD website.

The Allamakee SWCD is encouraging farm landowners to revise their conservation plans and attach them to their farm leases. Many plans haven’t 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 continue 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 responsibility to protect it from eroding. By attaching the conservation 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 beneficial to include the plan map in the lease documents because it clearly shows where specific practices should be installed and maintained. In order to change farm leases to include the conservation plan (if not already) they need to be terminated by September 1. New leases have to be signed by March 1.

The Allamakee SWCD currently has a project to help landowners include conservation in their farm leases by updating their conservation plans and discussing additional conservation provisions. For more information about this project and how to include conservation in a farm lease, Sara Berges at the Allamakee County SWCD at 563-5682246 ext. 3, sara.berges@ ia.nacdnet.net, or stop by the SWCD office at 635 9th St. NW, Waukon.

The following excerpts were published in the Lansing papers 75 and 60 years ago. 75 Years Ago August 9, 1939 How Come Waukon Never Heard of Baseball Twain It remained for the sport page of the Des Moines one day last week to thus disclose to the public the presence and activities of a hitherto unknown pair of baseball players here in Waukon, recognized, of course, as two of her well known residents: Waukon, Ia.—The Waukon Indians defeated the Eagles at the Waukon fair grounds Sunday 9 to 0. This is the first defeat suffered by Iowa City this season. The battery for Waukon included Lud (Lefty) Larson and Haehlen. Harpers Ferry E.F. Sullivan complains of a pocket knife which he values very highly as being taken from a bench outside his home during his absence in Waterloo. The parties who were seen in the yard better return it to avoid trouble. Several requests have been made by parties raising gardens that their neighbors keep their chickens penned up until the garden season is over. Harpers Wins Thrilling Game 2 to 0 Baseball fans here were treated to a real game Sunday when the Hawks shut out the strong Monona team by a 2 to 0 score. The game was scoreless until the last half of the 8th when the locals put across 2 runs on 3 hits. “Red” Robinson, who has been troubled with wildness this season, was on the mound for the Hawks and surely did a fine job of it, striking out 11 and allowing Monona but four hits, all singles; he received excellent backing from his team; and there were many

brilliant plays on both sides. The Hawks were composed of an all-home team Sunday, which shows that we have good ball players here. This game destroyed Monona’s chance to top the league this season. St. Olaf plays here next Sunday. This team has one victory over the locals this season. Turn out and give the boys a boost. They have been playing some real baseball here this season and they need your . It costs money to keep a good team going. Cherry Mound Mrs. James Powers and children of Lansing came over last Wednesday for a visit with home folks, the Andy Gavin family. On Sunday another daughter, Mrs. Emmett Cahalan and children, visited at the Gavin home. New Albin News New Albin was advertising New Albin Day Tuesday, August 15th—baseball and kitten ball; games, races and concessions; and concerts by Caledonia, Lansing and New Albin bands; amateur hour with a cash prize of $25; and two big dances at Dreamland and West Side Ballroom with music by Ray Alderson and His Orchestra and The Hanke Harmonizers. English Bench John and Earl Gordon of the Sand Cove assisted with the threshing at the home of their brother Frank. Tom Welch and son were here on Monday buying up a few head of young stock to fill out a carload for the Chicago market. Lansing Locals The Kerndt family held a reunion Sunday, Aug. 6, at the Will Kerndt home on Lansing Ridge. A picnic dinner was served and the afternoon ed with social converse.

REFLECTIONS The following sons and families were present: Herman, Leslie, Clarence and Theodore of Waukon; Mrs. Emma Wiecking and daughters Anna and Emma of Mankato, Minn.; the Joe Reed family; Miss Anna H. Kerndt and Herman Haas of Lansing. Good pole and line fishing is reported in the river north of Lansing. Saturday a party comprised of Harry Eastman and son, Tade Schott and Adolph Ellexson made a fine catch of a variety of fish, Harry landing ten bass and Mr. Ellexson several nice pike. Why bother going to the Lynxville dam. The University of Iowa held its largest convocation in history Friday evening when a total of 494 awards were made. Included in the number were Leo James Cahalan, BSPE, of Waukon Junction, and Ira Edward Larson, MA, of Lansing. Waukon Briefs A Waukon-Harpers Ferry party motored to Des Moines Monday to witness the pugilistic bout at the ball park between Paycheck and Strickland, but were disappointed because of its postponement on of rain until the next evening. Some of them remained but others came back Monday night. Those making the trip were Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Simon, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Antonoff, Mr. and Mrs. M.L. Connor, C.J. Damon, Don Reed, Jess Toney, Waukon, James Williams and Steve Wiedner, Harpers Ferry. Clarence Yoder of Indiana has become an employee of M.L. Connor’s Ford garage, where Walter Keenan is also an assistant during the recovery of James Adney from the injury he sustained in an auto accident last week. Mrs. Yoder accompanied her husband to Waukon and they have

rooms in Mrs. J.H. Johnson’s house. Dr, and Mrs. Paul Nierling and children of Cresco were Waukon visitors Sunday, and while he participated in the golf tournament she visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Davis. Looking Backward August 7, 1904 Vic Stevens, president of the Standard Telephone Co., drew 341 in the Rosebud land lottery and Ben Svebakken of Waukon was also a lucky man. Gelo Bros. have a new J.I. Case thresher. Lansing Mirror 35 Year (1869) Items: About 75 Norwegian emigrants landed Sunday. Haas’ new brewery is nearing completion. J.W. Thomas is mentioned for State Senator. New potatoes $5 per bushel. Looking Backward August 12, 1914 Messrs. Leo Foley and Ralph Larson are at present bricklayers in Postville. Ebner Bros. have their threshing rig out. Frank Huffman and Leonard McGeough went to harvest in S.D. Visitors in Wexford now are the J.P. Ryan family, Chicago; the J.M. Guider family, Lansing; Mrs. Mary Kennedy and children; Sister Francis of Clinton. 60 Years Ago August 11, 1954 News From The State Capital Unmarked Patrol Cars The Iowa highway patrol is using unmarked cars in cruising the state’s main arteries in search of law violators. Use of unmarked patrol cars for the first time in Iowa has been announced by Pearl McMurry, commissioner of public safety. Main objective of the unmarked cars is to cutback the number of accidents on the highways, thus reducing the

mounting death toll. There will be no marking on the cars and they will be outfitted with dummy license plates. Patrolmen manning the cars, however, will be in full uniform. Tank Wagon Officers Officers elected for the coming year for the Allamakee County Tank Wagon Credit Association are as follows: President, Harold Englehorn, Lansing; VicePresident, Art Sickels, Waterville; Secretary, Dean Storck, Waukon; and Treasurer, Leo Harris, Postville. Waukon Briefs The Sylvan Hinrich family returned home the last of the week from a five weeks vacation trip which they spent on a motor trip through the west, going as far as Vancouver, B.C. They made their home in a fitted up trailer truck. Mrs. Freelove Theis was in charge of Mrs. Hinrich’s mother, Mrs. Maude Bieber. Mr. and Mrs. Al Williams are enjoying a visit from their son A.D.A.N. Carl E. Williams who arrived home Tuesday last to spend a 30 day leave with home folks. The young man arrived recently from overseas and made the trip recently from San Diego, Calif., to Memphis, Tenn., by plane and from there to Cedar Rapids by train, his parents and brother Lyle and wife meeting him. Joe Cronin, local business man, has purchased a desirable building lot on E. Main St. from John Hansmeier and expects to build a new modern home for his family. The lot is located east of the Fred Intelkofer home. Lansing Locals Little Jean and Keith Garrett, children of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Garrett, spent last week visiting the Harry Lenz fam-

ily of near Mabel, Minn. Donald Tully has resigned his work with the Northwestern railroad company as telegraph operator and purchased the old Noel farm near Reno, Minn., which he will take possession of and start operating Sept. 1. “Doc” is well experienced in farm work so he can’t help but make a success of it. Glen Connor of the Star Dairy has been laid up practically two weeks with yellow jaundice which seems to be very prevalent throughout this area this year as already many have come down with it. Friends will be pleased to learn that he is better although not able to return to work yet. English Bench Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Sadler, Marcelene, Dick and Susie left on Friday for their home at Elgin, Ill., after spending the past 10 days with relatives here and at Harmony, Minn. Mr. and Mrs. Allen Hartley and sons, Ben Hartley, Ramona Hartley and Dick Hennings of Dubuque attended the Freuchte reunion at the Eitzen park on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. John Jacobson and Carol and Mrs. Joe Ramaker, of Preston, Minn., Mrs. Grant Engebretson of Lansboro, spent Wednesday afternoon at Floyd Beardmore. Harpers Ferry At the board of education meeting W.L. Cota was hired as janitor and driver of one bus, Leo Damon will be driver of the second bus. Mrs. Mary Manning will be assistant janitor. John L. Hunt, who taught last year at Van Horn is hired as superintendent, Victor Stamper who taught last year at Guttenburg will be the new principal.

L.J. Valley and Fred Beetz drove to Waukon Tuesday taking the Harpers Ferry Pee Wee Jr. Baseball players, where they beat the Waukon team, the score was 25 to 2.

New Albin News The New Albin baseball team conferred honors on their famous pitcher, Glen Buege, in a ceremony at the ball park before the Eitzen game Thursday afternoon. Presented to him was a gold trophy with his name and the inscription signifying that on Sunday, July 25, at Waukon he had pitched and won his 100th victory for the “Indians” as the team has been known for years. Official presentation was made by Albert Freuchte and Peter Whalen, president and treasurer respectively of the Community Club, ardent sponsors of the team. The ceremonies came as a complete surprise to Glen and family. He has pitched since his school days for New Albin about nine successive years and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Buege.

Mr. and Mrs. Cletus Collins and daughter Kathleen, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Collins, Francis and Mike of different Minnesota towns where all the brothers are engaged and prospering in the produce business, were noticed here for the celebration day. The men folks treated many of the kids of New Albin to rides as well as tossing coins to the lucky winners in the mad scramble for the money. The gentlemen will be ed as sons of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Collins and were pleased at seeing many former friends while in town.

Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gordon, Marilyn and Judy of Vinton are spending several weeks here with the former’s father, William Gordon and other relatives.

VIEWPOINTS

The views expressed on this page are not necessarily views shared by this newspaper

And then I wrote ... by Dick Schilling, “Editor Emeritus” ... that some of us firmly believe that our Founding Fathers knew exactly what they were doing when they produced the Constitution of the United States, and think “original intent” should be the guiding principal in determining the constitutionality of an action. Others claim the constitution is “a living, breathing document” and constitutionality should be judged on what it might mean today. They point to the fact that it has been amended. Constitutionalists note that it is really quite difficult to amend the document, intentionally so, to prevent knee-jerk reactions to possibly transient conditions. Various judges of the Supreme Court have been, and are, on opposite sides of the discussion. Several presidents have tested the Supreme Court with varying degrees of success. Our current president, who has “a pen and a phone,”

seems inclined to, as often as he can, ignore the constitution, the court, and the legislative branch, and rule by fiat using executive actions. So the living, breathing document may be on life . Amnesty for illegal aliens perhaps being the latest effort, as hinted at over the weekend. Government officials, from the president on down, take an oath to “ and defend” the Constitution. There is no parenthetical phrase that reads “unless I disagree.” Modern means of communication sometimes confuse us older folks. One elderly man was complaining about something he felt was unfair, and told his grandson that someone should do “one of those hash brown things” to make his point. The grandson said “it’s hash tag, Grandpa, and it’s a symbol.” The old man said he knew what a cymbal was; he played them in his high

school band years ago. Apparently even presidents forget that everything that is said in public is recorded or captured by somebody. In answer to a question from a reporter about an article in a newspaper, the president said he paid no attention to the media because whatever they know, he knew first. One TV network then played a handful of remarks from the president about various controversies in recent years in which the president said he knew nothing about the situation until he learned about it from the media. Both can’t be true. One grade school nun, in discussing lying, said it may seem easy at first, but is really harder. “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to what you said. But if you lie, you have to exactly what you lied about,” she suggested. Words to live by.

Letter to the Editor

Don’t take this great place for granted

To the Editor: Greetings from the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Although my husband and I live in one of the most beautiful places in the eastern part of the U.S., we are always smitten when we return to Waukon, Iowa. My class (the class of ‘69) held its 45-year class reunion on July 19th, so we returned for a few days to my hometown of Waukon. We always marvel at the beauty of the county, the pride in Iowa farmers and their properties and the genuine friendliness of everyone with whom we come in in town and out in the country. It always serves as a reminder of who I am as a person because of the time and place I was raised. Don’t ever take this

great place for granted. There is a quote, “Home is the place that goes where you go, yet it welcomes you upon your return. Like a dog overjoyed at the door. We’ve missed you is what you hear, no matter how long you’ve been gone.” On a personal note, I would like to express my appreciation to our reunion committee of Gloria Sander Payne, Cheryl Schoenthal Grady, Janice Headington Numedahl, Janet Winters Beneke and Terry Tilleras for all of the hard work and firstclass job they did on our reunion. We can hardly wait to return for our 50th. Thanks to everyone we met for making us feel “back home.” Kaye Kolsrud Sebastyn WHS Class of ‘69

Disabilities by Daniel J. Vance, MS, LPC, NCC Four days after getting his driver’s license at age 16 in 1975, Todd Bode was coaxed into ing his big brother on a road trip. The hook was that Bode would be allowed to drive. After about an hour on the road, 55-year-old Bode said, “A drunk driver hit us head on. I my big brother’s girlfriend screaming he was going to hit us. Then all I is everything going white and then everything going black.” His big brother was driving. Bode was launched from the backseat, hit his head on the dash, and was catapulted to the back seat. His heart stopped after he suffered double whiplash. A doctor driving by stopped and saved his life before the ambulance arrived. He was in a coma almost two months, and would go through three brain operations, eventually having a severely bruised part of his brain removed. Bode experienced a traumatic brain injury, which the National Institutes of Health defines as occurring when “sudden trauma causes damage to the brain” and can result in permanent symptoms that can include headache, confusion, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, fatigue, sleep pattern changes, behavioral or mood changes, slurred speech, loss of co-

ordination, or difficulty with memory, attention, thinking or concentration. After the accident, he said, “I couldn’t what I had learned in school. After I went to homeroom, my classmates would walk me over to my first class. I went to special education classes, physical education classes, and did a lot of art. I had to relearn everything, which was really frustrating. I had to relearn how to walk, talk, eat, and put my clothes on.” Today, he lives off disability income and often has severe pain in his back and neck, and has had surgery on both. His physical difficulties aside, perhaps his biggest challenges have been emotional. He said, “There were times I felt God had abandoned me, especially when I was going through a period of deep depression a year after the accident. I thought about suicide then, but couldn’t do it. The Lord brought me back. I thought about suicide again maybe 15 years ago around Christmas. I tried calling everyone I knew for help, including family, but no one was home. So I called my church. The pastor called early in the morning and almost immediately I felt better after talking to him.” : danieljvance. com [Sponsored by Blue Valley Sod and Palmer Bus Service.]
