National Dairy Conventions bring hundreds to tour local dairy operations ...
A pair of National Dairy Conventions held last week brought busloads totaling several hundred visitors to a pair of Waukon area family dairy farms Thursday, June 26. The National Holstein Convention held
in Dubuque June 24-28 featured a "Cream of the Crop" bus tour the morning of June 26 that included a stop at Regancrest, the Regan family dairy operation located northeast of Waukon on Highway 9. As
depicted in the photos at left above, a half dozen charter buses and several private vehicles transported just shy of 500 people to tour the Regancrest operation. "We feel things went very well," said Sheri
Danhof of Regancrest about the tour that involved the single largest group hosted by the facility in just an hour-plus timeframe. "It was an opportunity for people to see not only the genetics of our animals
but also how our facility operates, so that they know that it is truly the genetics of our animals that allows them to produce like they do and not some specialized treatment. We're very happy with how it all
fell into place, from the help we had from family members and employees in preparing for the event, right on through to the weather and how the tour played out. We heard some very positive comments."
Later that same June 26 afternoon, as evident in the photos at right above, a trio of charter buses and some private vehicles transported approximately 250 attendees of the American Guernsey Convention
being held in La Crosse, WI June 25-28 this year to the Prairie Moon Guernseys dairy operation located west of Waukon on Old Highway 9 and owned by the Frank and Carol Sivesind family. "A lot of the
people attending were familiar with our cattle from the showing we do at the State Fair and Dairy Expos, but this was an opportunity for them to see our entire herd and operation," explained Dan Sivesind
of Prairie Moon Guernseys. "It's also a rarity for a dairy operation to have a 100% Guernsey herd nowadays, so I feel that was intriguing to many of those who came. We were honored to be asked to host
such a tour, this was our rst tour on a national level - and there were even some international interests from Canada and Australia. It was a great day to showcase the dairy industry in northeast Iowa."
Inventory a loss, but plan already in place to return to business ...
A re declared electrical in origin resulted in a pair of visits from the Waukon Fire De-
partment to the upstairs apartment portion of the Howards Home Furnishings building
located at 40 West Main Street in downtown Waukon during the middle of last week.
An initial call was received just before 4 a.m. Wednesday, June 25 when an occupant
of one of the apartments housed above the furniture store discovered smoke in her
residence toward the rear of the building, with Waukon reghters having to open both
the ceiling below and roof above a hallway attic space near the back of the building to
douse the ames. The Waterville Fire Department and the aerial truck from the Dec-
orah Fire Department were also summoned for availability as precautionary measures.
The following morning, Thursday, June 26 at approximately 9:45 a.m., the Waukon
Fire Department was called once again as the blaze rekindled once electrical service
was restored. Due to the smoke damage from the two incidents, the apartments have
been vacated and the lower level showroom for the business will not be open to the
public until further notice (see advertisement on Page 3A for additional information).
Although untouched by ames, all the home furnishing inventory on the lower levels of
the business is being replaced, as business owner Randy Van Ruler says, "I am not
taking the chance of anything I sell smelling like smoke from this re, I won't do that to
my customers. We can't currently service customers within our store while we're clean-
ing up and repairing our building, but we'll still try and help them any way we can and
will denitely be back in business." Photo courtesy of the Waukon Police Department.
Governor Branstad, Lt. Governor Reynolds visit WW Homestead Dairy ...
WW Homestead Dairy in Waukon was honored by a visit from Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Lieutenant
Governor Kim Reynolds Thursday, June 26. WW Homestead co-owner Tom Weighner said that the visit was part of
the Governor's commitment to visit each of Iowa's 99 counties once a year. Weighner said that he had met with Lt.
Governor Reynolds during his involvement with the "Dream Big Grow Here" competition and that she had suggested
to the Governor that the dairy processing facility and retail store would be a good stop to make. Weighner said that he
and the Governor discussed the benets the facility has brought to the county in terms of economic development and
jobs, noting that the endeavor was partially made possible by approximately $75,000 in state grants and loans for
start-up equipment. He said he also spoke with the Governor about unreasonable regulations that burden business-
es and the economy. "We were honored to be chosen as a stop and appreciate the Governor's interest," Weighner
said. Pictured in the foreground above looking through the viewing window into the processing room at WW Home-
stead Dairy during the Governor's visit are, left to right, WW Homestead co-owner Tom Walleser, Gov. Branstad, Lt.
Gov. Reynolds, and WW Homestead co-owners Tom and Paul Weighner. Standard photo by Bob Beach.
Severe storm leaves
trail of damage ...
A line of severe thunderstorms
that plagued eastern Iowa Sun-
day evening, June 29 left behind
some tell-tale destruction in Wau-
kon and the surrounding area.
The National Weather Service
declared a Severe Thunderstorm
Warning for Allamakee County at
around the 9 p.m. hour for the
storm that produced brief tor-
rential rain, reported quarter-size
hail and high winds, including
some straightline winds believed
to be responsible for much of the
damage left in the storm's wake.
Much of that damage included
downed trees, such as this se-
ries of trees pictured at right on
the Makee Manor property north
of Waukon along Highway 9 that
also took down a power line pic-
tured in the center of the pho-
to. This photo and more can be

Supervisors sign disaster declaration
following damage from heavy rainfall
by Bob Beach
The Allamakee County
Board of Supervisors signed a
disaster declaration Tuesday,
June 24 in response to heavy
rains in the county Thursday,
June 19. Allamakee County
Engineer Brian Ridenour
reported that over seven
inches of rain fell in a short
period of time causing ash
ooding in several areas that
resulted in several temporary
road closures where ood
waters covered roadways.
Allamakee County
Emergency Management
Director Chris Dahlstrom
estimated the cost to
repair damages to public
infrastructure at around
$200,000. He added that
over 30 pallets of sandbags
had been distributed in
Waukon, which was mostly
precautionary. Dahlstrom
said that he had not yet
received a damage estimate
from the City of Waukon.
During regular business,
Ridenour recommended that
the Board accept the only bid
received after a second letting
for the paving of Prairie Drive
west of Waukon. The Board
had previously rejected a bid
for the project from Croell
Concrete because the bid was
20 percent higher than the
engineer's estimated project
cost. After the second request

Eagle Scout project will help identify burials at County Home Cemetery
Zachary Troendle, a Life
Scout with Boy Scout Troop
64 in Waukon, is working on
his Eagle Scout project that
involves identifying some
of the individuals who are
buried in the County Home
Cemetery located north of
Waukon along Highway 9,
across the highway from the
Makee Manor property.
Troendle has already
conducted some research
on the project to compile a
list of 68 known burials (see
accompanying list at right) at
the County Home Cemetery
site. However, none of these
graves has ever been marked
with a gravestone because

The
were all burned in a re that
consumed the County Home
prior to construction of the
present Makee Manor facility.
Troendle's Eagle Scout
project will involve the
placement of an engraved
brick for each of those known
individuals buried at the
cemetery. Each brick will
contain the individual's name
and dates of birth and death,
where available.
The bricks will be laid
out in front of the large
stone already in place at the
cemetery in honor of those
buried there. That stone
was placed there by another
member of Waukon Boy
Scout Troop 64, the late Clay
Kramer, as part of his Eagle
Scout project in 1999. The
ag pole that was moved to
the center of the cemetery,
also as part of Kramer's Eagle
Scout project, will also have a
solar-powered light attached
to it as part of Troendle's
Eagle Scout project to
properly illuminate the ag
that ies there.
ASSISTANCE
WELCOMED
The cost of Troendle's
Eagle Scout project has been
estimated at approximately
$1,400. Donations have
already been received from
churches throughout the
county in response to a letter
sent to them by Troendle
with the accompanying list of
names of those known to be
buried at the County Home
Cemetery.
Further donations are still
needed to make the project
successful to completion.
Those who would like to
assist the project with a
donation are asked to send
them to Zachary Troendle,
1304 Bluebird Road SW,
Waukon, IA 52172 or
to John Troendle, Eagle
Advancement Advisor, 601
Taylor Street SW, Waukon,
IA 52172.
Any donated funds that
may remain following
completion of the project
will be turned over to the
Allamakee County Board of
Supervisors for the purpose
of ag replacement at the
cemetery site when necessary.
Any ag being replaced will
be properly disposed of at
the traditional ag retirement
ceremony conducted by
Waukon Boy Scout Troop 64.
Those with further
questions or any information
in regard to those buried at
the County Home Cemetery
are asked to contact John
Troendle at 563-568-1062.
A dedication ceremony for
the brick arrangement will be
scheduled for late summer or
early fall later this year upon
completion of the project, and
the public will be invited to
attend that event.

The Ofce of the State
Long-Term Care Ombuds-
man is seeking volunteers for
its new Volunteer Ombuds-
man Program (VOP). The
VOP wishes to place one to
two volunteers in every nurs-
ing facility, residential care
facility and elder group home
in Iowa.
Volunteer Ombudsmen are
trained, certied volunteers
that visit one local long-term
care facility to advocate for
residents rights. This in-
cludes visiting with residents
about their quality of care and
quality of life in the facility
and seeking to resolve their
concerns. This unique and re-
warding opportunity requires
a minimum commitment of
three hours per month for one
year.
Skills necessary include
a friendly disposition, active
listening, collaborative prob-
lem solving, and a strong ap-
preciation for older Iowans
and Iowans with disabilities.
Volunteers must be at least
18 years of age. Previous ex-
perience in health care is not
required. Certain conicts of
interest may prevent some
people from serving, includ-
ing current employees of
long-term care facilities and
their family members.
The benets of becoming
a Volunteer Ombudsman in-
Volunteers needed to
advocate for residents in
long-term care facilities
clude:
Training, resources, and
continuing support from the
State Long-Term Care Om-
budsmans Ofce;
Rewarding relationships
with long-term care residents;
A exible schedule - vol-
unteers are able to conduct
their service as it suits their
lifestyle; and,
The opportunity to learn
more about navigating the
system of long-term care.
New volunteer trainings
are scheduled around the state
this summer, including Des
Moines (July 8 and 10), Fort
Madison (July 16), Dubuque
(July 17), Marshalltown (July
22), Waverly (July 24), Cher-
okee (July 29), Ottumwa
(July 30), Davenport (August
5), Red Oak (August 7), Fort
Dodge (August 12), and La-
moni (August 14). Make-up
trainings may be offered as
needed. Interested persons
must submit a volunteer ap-
plication prior to attending
training.

Volunteer Ombudsman Pro-
gram, and to request an
application, contact Sarah

Supervisors ...
Continued from Page 1A
for bids for the project, Croell
Concrete was again the
only bidder at $950,996.62,
$76,800 less than the previous
bid.
Ridenour said that while
there are some uncertainties
about future federal
reimbursements, he had to
assume that Congress would
act to keep that fund solvent.
"The price is not going to get
any better," Ridenour said,
adding that the paving of
West Ridge Road and Prairie
Drive would be the main
construction project for the
summer in the county.
Supervisor Sherry Strub
said that she would like to
take some time to look at the
ve-year construction plan
and recent ood damage
estimates before making a
decision. Supervisor Dennis
Koenig said that while he
appreciates the lower bid
from Croell, he believes it
should be lower. The Board
agreed to table action on the
bid until its regular meeting
Tuesday, July 1.
The Board also met by
telephone with Bob Jostens
of Dorsey and Whitney, who
is acting as the bond attorney
for the County in securing
funding on behalf of eight
townships for a new re
station for the Waukon Area
Fire Protection District. The
Board passed a resolution
to hold a public hearing
regarding loan agreements
with the eight member
townships July 8 at 10 a.m.
(ofcial notice of that hearing
is printed on page 4B of this
week's issue of The Standard).
Jostens said that the next step
in the process would be to
prepare a resolution regarding
the issuance of the funds once
payment schedules had been
received, noting that some
townships may wish to pay
back their portions of the loan
in less time than others.
The Board also held a public
hearing regarding a request
for a change in zoning district
classication by Randy and
Patty Troendle for property
just west of Lansing from
commercial to residential.
Allamakee County Zoning
Administrator Tom Blake
said that the Planning and
Zoning Commission had
recommended approval of
the change and no written
comments had been received.
Hearing no comments from
the public, the Board closed
the public hearing and agreed
to consider an amendment
to the zoning ordinance to
change the zoning district
classication during its next
meeting.
In other business, the Board
approved hiring Chloe Stortz
as a dispatcher and jailer for
the Sheriff's Department at a
wage set by union contract
and hiring Henry Sass as
temporary summer help
for the Secondary Roads
Department for $9.15 per
hour.

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-
mal shelters. The "Take your
Walk for a Dog" program is
a revolutionary dog-powered
fundraising tool for animal
shelters that uses a free mo-
bile App to promote healthy
pets and healthy humans
while raising money to sup-
port local shelters.
The Humane Society of
Northeast Iowa (HSNEI) is
partnering with WoofTrax,
Inc., to introduce and pro-
mote the App in this area.
You walk your dog anyway,
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
also now have the satisfaction
Support HSNEI by
walking your dog
of knowing that their walking
directly benets their local
shelter.
One of the key develop-
ers of the "Take your Walk
for a Dog" program is the
WoofDriver, a world fa-
mous dog-powered sporting
lifestyle expert. WoofDriver
focuses on new and exciting
ways to exercise, train and
spend time with dogs.
The local community can
now support HSNEI simply
by walking their dogs. Pro-
ceeds directly benet the
many homeless animals that
come to the local shelter each
year and support the ongoing
work that the local shelter
does in the northeast Iowa
counties of Allamakee, Clay-
ton, Fayette, Howard and
Winneshiek.

Veterans Memorial Hospital
anticipates change to electronic
medical records in early July; May
results in positive nancial month
by Brianne Eilers
Veterans Memorial Hospi-
tal (VMH) in Waukon ended
the month of May on a pos-
itive nancial note. VMH
Administrator Mike Myers
noted that May was a pretty
good month, with the hospi-
tal showing a net income of
$57,512, despite the number
of acute and skilled patient
days being the same as or
lower than last year. Deliv-
eries, however, were up 14%
over last May.
We also managed our to-
tal expenses very well, and
have done so all year, Myers
pointed out, further adding
that May 2014 expenses were
2.4% under last Mays ex-
penses, despite rising costs.
Year-to-date, VMH is show-
ing a net income of $311,443,
which is about a 2.2% prot
margin. The hospital also has
nearly $2.7 million in cash
reserves.
The number of days in
Accounts Receivable is up to
85.6, which Myers attributed
to staff focusing on the hos-
pitals transition to electronic
medical records and chang-
es in some of the processes
used. July 1 is the anticipated
date for the electronic medi-
cal records to go live. Weve
got great people working on
this, Myers said, adding that
there are daily meetings and
training sessions.
The hospital has also re-
cently completed auditing
on its 11-month cost report,
which has to do with Medi-
care payment, and Myers re-
ported that the auditors felt
VMH was in line with where
the facility should be. Our
motto here at the hospital is
sustainability, Myers said.
The auditors think that is a
good motto.
In other matters, the Vet-
erans Memorial Health Care
Foundations annual golf
tournament was well attend-
ed. VMH is always looking
at ways to improve care and
customer service, and Myers
said that the hospital will be
focusing on privacy. We feel
thats a very important thing,
and we want to safeguard
that, Myers noted, adding,
it never hurts to have re-

minders.
VMH will be looking at
what other facilities are do-
ing to help educate their staff,
and later in the year, VMH
will be doing some educa-
tional things and possibly
even putting up signage as
reminders and also checking
with patients to see how the
hospital is progressing in that
regard.
New in the OB (obstetrics)
department is the option for
laboring mothers to use ni-
trous oxide as a means for
pain relief. Myers noted that
the physicians have been cre-
dentialed and that it has been
used already. Myers also not-
ed that VMH may be one of
the only hospitals in Iowa
currently using nitrous oxide
for pain relief during labor.
On the Capital Budget
front, VMH is still putting
the budget together to pres-
ent to its Board of Trustees
at its meeting in July. Myers
noted that $300,000 has been
budgeted. A project to replace
the air exchange system at the
hospital is slated to begin
sometime in September.

As part of this year's Corn Days celebration, there will be a

Housing Rehabilitation Program
within the City of Waukon
Its not too late for Waukon
residents to take advantage of
the Affordable Housing Reha-
bilitation Grant for owner-oc-
cupied homeowners in the
City of Waukon. Eighteen lo-

owners have stated that they
are highly satised 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 ap-
proximately $80,000 is left in
the program. This program
will nance projects through
a ve-year receding forgiv-
able loan and funding limits

To prevent death and in-
jury, Iowa law enforcement
is again asking the motor-
ing public to buckle up,
slow down and drive sober.
According to the Iowa De-
partment of Transportation,
there were six trafc fatalities
during the four-day Fourth of
July weekend last year, three
of which were alcohol relat-
ed.
This year, July 1-7, over
250 city, county and state
law enforcement agencies
across Iowa will participate
in a special Trafc Enforce-
ment Program (sTEP) in an
effort to keep everyone safe
as they travel. The sTEP proj-
ects are funded by the Gov-
ernors Trafc Safety Bureau
through a program with the
National Highway Trafc
Safety Administration. This
money enables more of-
cers to work more hours on
roadways all across the state
during times of the year when
travel increases and trafc
crashes, injury and death are
most probable.
Too many people still
take the attitude that it will
never happen to me, sTEP
Coordinator Randy Hunefeld
said. But fatal crashes can
and do happen every day.
Local law enforcement
participating in sTEP
trafc efforts July 1-7
Weve made a lot of progress,
but there are still too many
people in Iowa dying because
they are unbuckled, speeding,
and driving intoxicated or im-
paired.
Iowa law enforcement of-
cers need the help of mo-
torists in these efforts and
are asking every motorist
that gets behind the wheel to
buckle up and drive responsi-
bly in an effort to make this
Fourth of July holiday a safe
one. For more information,
visit www.iowagtsb.org or
www.stopimpaireddriving.
org.
Locally, the Allamakee
County Sheriffs Ofce and
the Waukon Police Depart-
ment will be participating in
this wave during the Fourth of
July holiday. The next wave
will be August 25 through
September 7.
gional Planning Commission
(UERPC) has the responsibil-
ity of administering the grant
and overseeing work. Anyone
wishing to learn more about
the program or wanting to
obtain an application should
contact Lori Brockway or
Sarah Snitker at UERPC,
563-864-7551 or visit www.
uerpc.org. Applications or
information can also be ob-
tained at the Waukon Eco-
nomic Development ofce
through Ardie Kuhse, 563-

Waukon FFA fares
well at State
Agronomy and Ag
Mechanics contests..
June 5, members of
the Little Switzerland FFA
Chapter at Waukon High
School traveled to Iowa
State University in Ames
to compete in two State
Career Development Events
(CDEs). The Agronomy
team consisting of (left to
right in below photo) Jacob
Dougherty, Kyle Gordon,
Sarah Smith and Michael
Schulte finished as the
Iowa FFA Reserve State
Champions. The purpose
of this CDE is to help FFA
members develop agricul-
tural science skills in crop
culture, crop utilization, crop production and management. It also motivates members to learn and understand how
to grow and manage crops in Iowa in an efficient, profitable and sustainable production. Members of this team had
to judge a variety of crops grown in Iowa, including hay, silage and seed judging. They received help from their
coach, Nikki Schulte, who had previously competed in the contest when she was a Little Switzerland FFA member.
The Ag Mechanics team of (left to right in above photo) Nolan Hagen, Devin Bieber and Christian Wenthold also
competed in Ames, receiving a bronze placing. This contest is used to motivate high school Agriculture Education
students to broaden understandings and develop skills in Electrical Systems, Environmental/Natural Resource
Systems and Energy Systems. The event also provides an opportunity for hands-on performance operations in agri-
culture mechanics and to follow safety practices. The members took part in event activities that included Individual
Problem-Solving, Written Examination and Safety. Submitted by Carmen Wille, Chapter Reporter. Submitted photos.

Seeking AmeriCorps members
to promote healthy schools in
the northeast Iowa area
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.
Luther College is the host
organization for the Ameri-
Corps State of Iowa 4-H po-
sitions. AmeriCorps members
will live and serve within
school districts across north-
east Iowa transforming school
environments to be healthier
for students and models for
their communities. Member-
ship is open to U.S. citizens
or lawful permanent residents
age 17 and older.
On the ground, members
will assist with school gar-
dens, conduct nutrition and
health education, and coor-
dinate and train others to be
leaders in this work. Members
will deepen the understanding
for students, teachers and staff
about the benets of grow-
ing and consuming healthy,
green, affordable food and
being physically active.
With coaching, members
will become a resource for
school wellness committees
in one or two districts and
provide active programming
that infuses healthy living
into school culture.
AmeriCorps members may
live within one of the fol-
lowing communities in the
six-county region: Elkader,
West Union, Oelwein and/
or New Hampton. When not
working in their communi-
ty, members can expect to
work from the Environmental
Studies department at Luther
College where they will have
ofce space including a desk,
computer and phone, and will
be able to connect with other
folks doing similar service.
The term of service is
September 1, 2014 through
August 31, 2015. Luther Col-
lege is currently accepting
applications on a rolling ba-
sis and positions will remain
open until lled. Applicants
may submit an electronic let-
ter of interest and a resume
highlighting experiences and
rationale to Emily Neal, di-
rector of School Outreach at
Luther College, nealem01@

FARM POLL: ROOM
FOR IMPROVEMENT
IN NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT
STRATEGIES
The Iowa Nutrient
Reduction Strategy sets
ambitious goals for keeping
agricultural nutrients out of
the states waterways. To
reach the reduction targets,
Iowa farmers and their
advisers will have to work
together to improve nutrient
management strategies,
according to the Iowa Farm
and Rural Life Poll.
Nitrogen management is
important to Iowa agriculture.
Most of the nutrients that
are applied to agricultural
lands serve their intended
purpose of increasing crop
yields. However, substantial
quantities ow from elds
into waterways, where they
degrade water quality in
Iowas streams, lakes and
other water bodies. The
loss of nitrogen and other
nutrients from agricultural
activities leads to economic
and environmental costs in
Iowa and elsewhere, since
some of that nutrient ow
eventually nds its way into
the Mississippi River and
then the Gulf of Mexico.
A new Farm Poll report
presents data on the types
of nitrogen management
practices that Iowa farmers
are using, the methods they
use to determine fertilization
rates, and the information
sources they look to for advice
on nutrient management. It
was developed primarily to
support the efforts of ISU
Extension and Outreach
and other agricultural
stakeholders as they strive to
help farmers meet nutrient
loss reduction targets set in
the Iowa Nutrient Reduction
Strategy.
According to researchers,
some of the most innovative
and effective nitrogen
management practices, such
as nitrogen inhibitors and
calculators for determining
optimal fertilization rates, are
not used by many farmers,
and large percentages of
farmers are not familiar with
them.
The data come from
the 2012 Farm Poll, which
measured farmers knowledge
and use of various methods
for managing nitrogen based
on the 2011 corn and soybean
crop season. Nearly 1,300
farmers participated in the
poll, and the ndings are
published in a new report,
Iowa Farmers Nitrogen
Management Practices and
Perspectives.
Another important nding
was that fertilizer suppliers are
the advisers that farmers tend
to look to rst for guidance
on nutrient management.
These and other stakeholders
that provide products, advice
and technical assistance to
farmers should shoulder
some responsibility to help
their clients set and meet
nutrient loss reduction goals.
They must be prepared to
provide information and
technical assistance on the
most effective management
and structural practices to
reduce loss of nitrogen and
other nutrients into Iowa
waters.
More than half of the
survey participants believed
that farmers over-apply
fertilizer to ensure yields. At
the same time, 75 percent
thought the amount of
fertilizer that Iowa farmers
apply is about right. This
means that many farmers
who believe that farmers use
excess fertilizer to ensure
yields also believe that the
amount applied is about
right. These results support
anecdotal evidence that
applying excess nitrogen as
yield insurance is a common
practice.
With variation in weather,
soil types, time constraints
and other factors, it can be
difcult to calculate and time
application to ensure that the
exact amount of nitrogen that
plants will need is there when
they need it. The perceived
economic risks of under-
applying are high, and these
results suggest that, for at
least some farmers, over-
applying, as insurance, is
simply part of farming.

Members of the DAR Hannah
Lee Chapter meet for eld trip
touring historical NEIA sites
Hannah Lee Chapter of
Daughters of the American
Revolution (DAR) met re-
cently at the Train Station
restaurant in Calmar. The
meeting was conducted by
the new regent, Becky Mc-
Cabe. In the Flag Minute, she
shared that prior to 1912 ag
makers could vary the cong-
uration of the stars as well as
the proportions of the stripes
on the ag. Following 1912
the specics of the ag were
standardized. She also noted
that the ag at Fort McHenry
(the inspiration for the Star
Spangled Banner) was very
large, more than one half the
size of a tennis court. It is
now under conservation and
preservation at the Smithso-
nian.
Following the luncheon
and meeting the group took
a eld trip to visit three sites
in the area where DAR had
placed historical markers
in years past. The rst stop
was historic Fort Atkinson.
In 1840 the government es-
tablished the fort to protect
the Winnebago Indians from
the more hostile Sioux to the
north and Sac and Fox to the
south. By 1846 the soldiers
were withdrawn to ght in
the Mexican War and in 1849
the fort was completely aban-
doned.
The State of Iowa obtained
the fort in 1921 and in 1924
the Iowa Society of DAR
placed an historical marker at
the site. The original marker
was lost but in 2010 a new
bronze plate was set in place
by members of Hannah Lee
Chapter. The marker is now
on display within the muse-
um at Fort Atkinson.
The second stop on the
eld trip was at the Waucoma
Cemetery. In 1921 the Wau-
coma Chapter of DAR placed
a plaque on a large stone at
this cemetery to commemo-
rate three local men who were
killed in WWI. Because this
war was thought to be the war
to end all wars, the local DAR
chapter deemed it tting to
honor these gentlemen.
At the second meeting
of Hannah Lee Chapter, the
group had voted to place a
bronze tablet at the burial
site of Angelina Webb More-
house, who was known to be
a real Daughter; that is, she
was the daughter of an Amer-
ican Revolutionary War patri-
ot. Additionally, her grandfa-
ther was a patriot of the war.
This marker is located at the
United Brethren Cemetery
near Westgate, the site of the
nal stop on the Hannah Lee
Chapter tour.
The Morehouse tablet had
been placed with a special
ceremony October 23, 1927.
The chapter regent gave the
unveiling presentation and
a response was given by a
Morehouse grandson, John
McSweeney, superintendent
of schools at Victor.
Mrs. Morehouse had been
born Angelina Webb at Mil-
ton, New York in 1812. Her
father, Private Isaac Webb
had enlisted in the Revolu-
tionary War at the age of 14.
Her family began the move
westward when she was six
years of age and settled in
Pennsylvania. There she mar-
ried Eli Morehouse in 1829.
They soon moved on to Ohio
and nally to Pine Creek a
few miles west of what has
become Independence. Eli
died there in 1855 shortly
after their arrival, leaving
Angelina on the frontier as a
widow with a four-year-old
daughter.
Before his death, More-
house had purchased prop-
erty in Freemont Township,
Fayette County. Angelina
and her daughter move there.
They were among the rst
families to settle in that area.
Mrs. Morehouse died in 1901
at the age of eighty-nine
years.
Hannah Lee Chapter of
Daughters of the American
Revolution is chartered at
West Union and includes
members throughout north-
east Iowa. Meetings typical-
ly alternate between West
Union and Decorah loca-
tions. Chapter meetings are
generally held at noon on the
rst Saturday of the month.
The next meeting of Han-
nah Lee Chapter will be held
August 2 in West Union. A
program on historic preser-
vation, American history and
genealogy will be present-
ed by Brenda Hare of Cedar
Rapids. The title of her pre-
sentation will be How to
Find Those Ancestors and
Documents. Those interest-
ed in membership in Daugh-
ters of the American Revolu-
tion are always welcome as
guests.

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-

WIC Farmers Market
Nutrition Program
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.
Senior Farmers Market
Nutrition Program
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

From Canada to Chinawith (linseed) love?
Lets talk about linseed.
An article on Ag Web notes
that China may become the
leading importer of linseed
and linseed oil in 2014-15.
Canada, one of the worlds
major supplier of linseed,
plans to seek markets for
huge export supplies of the
oilseed, wrote Oil World last
week.
Oil World said, accord-
ing to Ag Web, that linseed
or axseed imports by China
could climb to 350,000 met-
ric tons in the year through
July 2015, up from 250,000
metric tons in 2013-14, and
just 153,000 metric tons
in 2012-13. Canada is the
worlds biggest grower of lin-
seed, which is edible and is
crushed to make vegetable oil
and oil seed, Oil World said.
Oil World, reported Ag
Web, said that China is ex-
pected to be the key growth
market for prospective huge
Canadian export supplies.
The rise in imports may make
China the worlds largest
crusher of linseed for the rst
time. It may process some
600,000 tons in 2014-15, Ag
Web reported. According to
Oil World, Chinese demand
will hinge on prices being
sufciently attractive.
The researcher said a
jump in Chinese purchas-
ing and crushing may result
in declining import demand
for axseed oil. Canadian
axseed crops are forecast,
Ag Web reported. Canadas
axseed crop is forecast
to rise to 950,000 tons this
year, up from 712,000 tons
in 2013. The nations exports
will climb, the researcher be-
lieved, to 730,000 tons, up
from 555,000 tons.
Oil World gured that with
rising domestic production
of oils in Canada and ag-
ging import demand from
the United States, Canadian
producers and exporters of
axseed may benet from
increased business with the
Chinese giant.
In Saskatchewan, Cana-
das main axseed growing
province, 56 percent of the
intended planting area has
been sown as of June 2 com-
pared with 54 percent a year
earlier, with 89 percent of
the crop being rated as good
or excellent. Just a year ago,
the gure was 68 percent, Oil
World noted. That helps put
the Canadian province in the
catbird seat to do great busi-
ness with China in the com-
ing years.
Just another way in which
the fast-paced world of agri-
culture constantly changes,
expands and gets more ef-
cient.

USDA Announces Changes
to Fruit, Vegetable and Wild
Rice Planting Rules
Farm Service Agency
(FSA) has announced fruit,
vegetable and wild rice pro-
visions that affect producers
who intend to participate in
certain programs authorized
by the Agricultural Act of
2014.
Producers who intend to
participate in the Agriculture
Risk Coverage (ARC) or
Price Loss Coverage (PLC)
programs are subject to an
acre-for-acre payment reduc-
tion when fruits and nuts, veg-
etables or wild rice are plant-
ed on the payment acres of
a farm. Payment reductions
do not apply to mung beans,
dry peas, lentils or chickpeas.
Planting fruits, vegetables or
wild rice on acres that are not
considered payment acres
will not result in a payment
reduction. Farms that are eli-
gible to participate in ARC/
PLC but are not enrolled for a
particular year may plant un-
limited fruits, vegetables and
wild rice for that year but will
not receive ARC/PLC pay-
ments for that year. Eligibil-
ity for succeeding years is not
affected.
Planting and harvesting
fruits, vegetables and wild
rice on ARC/PLC acreage is
subject to the acre-for-acre
payment reduction when
those crops are planted on
either more than 15 percent
of the base acres of a farm
enrolled in ARC using the
county coverage or PLC, or
more than 35 percent of the
base acres of a farm enrolled
in ARC using the individual
coverage.
Fruits, vegetables and
wild rice that are planted in a
double-cropping practice will
not cause a payment reduc-
tion if the farm is in a double-
cropping region as designated
by the USDAs Commodity
Credit Corporation.
Guaranteed Loan Eligibility
Changes to FSA regula-
tions have removed Guar-
anteed Operating Loan term
limits. Previous and current
guaranteed loan borrowers
who were not eligible for fur-
ther guaranteed loans due to
the previous 15 year eligibil-
ity term limit may now be eli-
gible for further guaranteed
loans through their commer-
cial lender.
Direct Loan Changes
Changes were made to
the interest rate charged on
loans where FSA provides
50 percent or less on jointly
nanced purchases of real es-
tate also called Direct Farm
Ownership Participation
Loans. The interest rate will
be the greater of 2.5 percent
or the current interest rate
for direct Farm Ownership
loans minus 2 percent, as a
xed rate for the duration of
the loan. At present, the June
direct Farm Ownership rate
is 4.00 percent. Because the
2.5 percent oor is greater
than subtracting 2 percent
from the current direct farm
ownership loan rate, the rate
for Direct Farm Ownership
Participation Loans in June is
2.50 percent.
Microloan Program
The Farm Service Agency
(FSA) developed the Micro-
loan (ML) program to better
serve the unique nancial op-
erating needs of beginning,
niche and small family farm
operations.
FSA offers applicants a
Microloan designed to help
farmers with credit needs
of $35,000 or less. The loan
features a streamlined ap-
plication process built to t
the needs of new and smaller
producers. This loan pro-
gram will also be useful to
specialty crop producers and
operators of community sup-
ported agriculture (CSA).
Eligible applicants can ap-
ply for a maximum amount
of $35,000 to pay for initial
start-up expenses such as
hoop houses to extend the
growing season, essential
tools, irrigation and annual
expenses such as seed, fer-
tilizer, utilities, land rents,
marketing, and distribution
expenses. As nancing needs
increase, applicants can apply
for a regular operating loan
up to the maximum amount
of $300,000 or obtain nanc-
ing from a commercial lender
under FSAs Guaranteed
Loan Program.
Individuals who are inter-
ested in applying for a micro-
loan or would like to discuss
other farm loan programs
available should contact Win-
neshiek County FSA ofce to
set up an appointment with
a loan ofcial. Wednesday
mornings the Winneshiek
County Farm Loan Manager
is in the Allamakee County
FSA Ofce.
Loans for the Socially
Disadvantaged
FSA has a number of loan
programs available to assist
applicants to begin or con-
tinue in agriculture produc-
tion. Loans are available for
operating type loans and/or
purchase or improve farms or
ranches.
While all qualied produc-
ers are eligible to apply for
these loan programs, the FSA
has provided priority funding
for members of socially dis-
advantaged applicants.
A socially disadvantaged
applicant is one of a group
whose members have been
subjected to racial, ethnic or
gender prejudice because of
his or her identity as members
of the group without regard to
his or her individual qualities.
For purposes of this pro-
gram, socially disadvantaged
groups are women, African
Americans, American Indi-
ans, Alaskan Natives, His-
panics, Asian Americans and
Pacic Islanders.
FSA loans are only avail-
able to applicants who meet
all the eligibility require-
ments and are unable to ob-
tain the needed credit else-
where.

Affairs Specialist, USDA-
Natural Resources
Conservation Service
Cover crops are grow-
ing in popularity across the
Midwest, mostly for erosion
control, weed suppression,
nitrate loss reduction, and the
soil health benets they pro-
vide. Many Iowa livestock
producers, however, are also
nding cover crops to be an
excellent source of spring
feeding.
In western Iowa, many
Crawford County farm-
ers turned cattle - including
many cow-calf pairs - loose
on an estimated 2,500 acres
of cereal rye this spring. Pat
Corey, resource conservation-
ist with USDAs Natural Re-
sources Conservation Service
(NRCS), says about 40 local
livestock producers utilized
cropland for cover crop graz-
ing.
Corey says a cool, wet
spring delayed rye growth,
but by May 1 the cover crop
was tall enough for grazing.
Producers seem happy with
the amount of feed they saved
by utilizing cover crops,
which allowed their pastures
to grow back up, he said.
By late May, these farmers
terminated the rye and plant-
ed it to corn or soybeans.
Farmers who grew a thick
cereal rye stand (at least six
inches) could easily run one
cow-calf pair per three-quar-
ters of an acre for at least a
month with very little supple-
mental feed, says Corey.
He says local farmers who
drilled in rye after harvest
produced better stands than
those who aerial-applied rye
into a standing crop. I think
that had a lot to do with the
dry fall, he said. There
was not much cover crop
growth with cereal rye until
this spring, but favorable late
spring weather conditions
provided some nice growth.
Termination Flexibility
In a typical year, its com-
mon to see livestock graze
cover crops in April and early
May, which allows farmers to
plant crops earlier. However,
2014 was an unusual year
Cover crops providing livestock feed
with cooler than average tem-
peratures, pushing cover crop
grazing and planting back a
few weeks.
USDA recently added ex-
ibility to its cover crop termi-
nation guidelines, no longer
requiring termination by a
stringent deadline. Now, cov-
er crop termination must be
completed at or before plant-
ing the crop.
Grazing Benets Soils
Ralph Dorale, who farms
near Charter Oak in Crawford
County, grazed his livestock
on cereal rye for the third
consecutive year. He grazed
300 cows on 200 acres this
spring. Weve seen great re-
sults, and continue to expand
the number of livestock and
cover crop acres we graze,
he said.
Dorale aerial applied ce-
real rye in the fall after silage
and planted soybeans into
the rye after terminating it.
He says allowing livestock to
graze the rye is doing more
than just resting his pastures.
We haul and apply less ma-
nure to those elds because
the cows are incorporating
it when they graze, he said.
We are also seeing better
bean yields and I think thats
from the cereal rye helping to
reduce soil compaction.
With so much livestock
in the county, many farmers
chop corn for silage clear to
the ground leaving the soil
susceptible to erosion. Its
great to see cover crops out
there protecting the soil from
erosion in those situations,
says Corey. A lot of those
acres are very hilly where its
common to see springtime
soil erosion.
According to Iowa NRCS
State Soil Scientist Rick Bed-
narek, cover crop grazing
benets go deeper than the
producers pocketbook. He
says cover crop grazing can
improve soil health more rap-
idly than cover crops alone as
part of a cropping system. He
says the conversion of above-
ground biomass to urine and
manure helps move biomass
into the soil.
Its reminiscent of the way
buffalo grazed and benetted
our native prairies, said Bed-
narek. We want to see cattle
eat half of the plant growth
and then trample much of the
rest, which will improve soil
health.
To provide the most ben-
ets to livestock and the soil,
Bednarek says a mixture of
cover crops is preferred. He
says choosing a grass mixture
with a brous root system
and a legume or brassica will
provide the widest range of
benets.
Bednarek says high-densi-
ty grazing would be the ulti-
mate system, where cattle are
moved from paddock to pad-
dock once or twice daily. He
says a temporary cover crop
grazing system on cropland
would only require poly-
braided fence, step-in posts,
and a solar fence charger.
This might only cost $500,
and would be well worth the
investment, he said. And
for an extra $400 you can buy
an automatic gate opener that
allows cattle to move them-
selves.
Although some farmers
see high-density grazing as a
time management issue, Bed-
narek says moving livestock
to a new paddock can take as
little as 15 minutes, and there
are benets. After moving to
a rotational grazing system,
many farmers are better able
to assess livestock condition
and health by seeing them ev-
ery day, he said.
Rick Sprague, grassland
specialist for Iowa NRCS,
sees many traditional row-
crop farmers renting cover
crop acres to neighbors with
livestock. This is an eco-
nomic opportunity more
farmers need to look into as
cover crops become more
widespread, he says.
Sprague says additional
grazing in April or May is
not as benecial since most
pastures have sufcient for-
age available. If you can
get cover crops planted early
enough in the year to glean
some grazing days in October
and November, that would be
very helpful, he said.
For more information
about livestock grazing of
cover crops, visit your local
NRCS ofce or go online to
www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov.
Iowa Secretary of Agricul-
ture Bill Northey encourages
Iowa hay and straw produc-
ers to register or update their
listing on the Iowa Hay and
Straw Directory. The direc-
tory lists Iowa producers with
hay and straw for sale, as well
as organizations and busi-
nesses associated with pro-
moting and marketing quality
hay and straw.
The directory has been a
great tool for both buyers and
sellers and we hope farmers
will take the time to review
and update their informa-
tion so that it remains a valu-
able resource, Northey said.
This directory can serve as a
critical link for those produc-
ing hay and those looking to
buy, so we encourage Iowans
to take advantage of this free
directory.
The listing is available to
interested buyers throughout
the nation, however only sell-
ers from within Iowa can be
included on the list.
Names are gathered
throughout the year with
added emphasis now that hay
harvest has started. Sections
within the Hay and Straw
Directory include Forage
for Sale, Forage Auctions,
Hay Associations, Forage
Dealers, Hay Grinders and
Farmers encouraged to
update information on Iowa
Hay and Straw Directory
Custom Balers.
Farmers interested in list-
ing should visit the Depart-
ments website at www.
IowaAgriculture.gov. An ap-
plication form can be found
by going to the Bureaus
link and then selecting Ag-
ricultural Diversication and
Market Development. Then
click on Hay & Straw Direc-
tory on the right side of the
page under Directories.
Those without internet ac-
cess may call the Hay/Straw
Hotline at 800-383-5079. The
Department will fax or send a
printed copy of the applica-
tion to be lled out.
The Department is also
supporting the Iowa Crop

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.

DNR urges boaters to
protect Iowa waters,
stop aquatic hitchhikers
during boating season
bucket) before leaving a wa-
ter body.
DRY anything that
comes into contact with water
(boats, trailers, equipment,
boots, clothing, dogs). Before
transporting to another water
body either:
Spray your boat and trailer
with hot, high-pressure water;
or dry your boat and equip-
ment for at least ve days.
Never release plants, sh
or animals into a water body
unless they came out of that
water body and empty un-
wanted bait in the trash.
These steps are not only
suggestions; they are law. It is
illegal to possess or transport
prohibited aquatic invasive
species in Iowa. It is also il-
legal to transport any aquatic
plants on water-related equip-
ment. Boaters must drain all
water from boats and equip-
ment before leaving a water
access and must keep drain
plugs removed or opened
during transport. It is also
illegal to introduce any live
sh, except for hooked bait,
into public waters.
Signs are posted at public
accesses to remind boaters
to stop aquatic hitchhikers
and to identify infested wa-
ters. More information about
aquatic invasive species and
a list of infested waters can
be found in the 2014 Iowa
Fishing Regulations booklet
or online.
Clean. Drain. Dry.
Thats the slogan the Iowa
Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) is remind-
ing boaters and anglers to
remember for the upcoming
Fourth of July holiday to
protect Iowa lakes and rivers
from aquatic hitchhikers.
Aquatic hitchhikers are
invasive species - everything
from zebra mussels to Eur-
asian watermilfoil - that are
transported from one water
body to another by hitchhik-
ing on boats, in bait buckets,
and other equipment used in
the water. These aquatic inva-
sive species can create seri-
ous problems for Iowa waters
by reducing native species

Kee baseball team plays to even record in just four games this past week
by Val Meyer
The Kee baseball team
played a fairly light sched-
ule this past week, turning
out an even 2-2 result in four
games. That evenly-split
foursome included an equal-
ly split home debut on the
renovated Shooky Fink Field
in New Albin against Turkey
Valley Thursday, June 26,
Kee falling in game one by
a 7-3 result before bouncing
back for a 3-0 nightcap vic-
tory behind a no-hit pitching
effort tossed by senior Jared
Donahue. Kee then took part
in the annual Jeff Houg Me-
morial Baseball Tournament
in Waukon Saturday, June
28, nishing third after fall-
ing to eventual tournament
runner-up Waterloo Colum-
bus by a 19-8 count before
securing a consolation victo-
ry over Waukon, 11-1 in ve
innings.
Now holding a 15-14
overall record, 6-5 in Upper
Iowa Conference play, the
Hawks were scheduled to
play a pair of back-to-back
varsity doubleheaders to
begin this week, playing at
MFL/MarMac Monday, June
30 and then hosting North
Fayette Valley Tuesday, July
1 before playing at Crest-
wood for a non-conference
doubleheader Thursday, July
3. Kee will then wrap up its
regular season schedule with
one nal home doublehead-
er Monday, July 7 against
Edgewood-Colesburg before
playing a June 16 make-up
game at Postville Thursday,
July 10.
vs. Turkey Valley ...
The baseball Hawks made
their long-awaited season
debut at the newly-reno-
vated Shooky Fink Field in
New Albin Thursday, June
26, playing host to Turkey
Valley in an Upper Iowa
Conference doubleheader.
The host Hawks were dealt
a 7-3 defeat in the opening
game of the home twinbill,
but bounced back impres-
sively with a 3-0 shut-out in
game two fueled by a no-hit-
ter mastered by Hawk senior
Jared Donahue.
In the rst game against
Turkey Valley, the Trojans
were able to jump on the
Hawks right away and push
a decisive four runs across
home plate in the rst inning.
It was in the bottom of the
second inning that Kee was
nally able to battle back,
tacking three of its own runs
on to the scoreboard courte-
sy of freshman Casey Carroll
and the senior tandem of Jar-
ed Donahue and Nick Gavin,
with senior Quinn Brennan
and junior Travis Colsch
each driving in one of those
runs. That effort pulled the
Hawks within a run of Tur-
key Valley, 4-3, through two
complete innings.
In the top of the third
and fourth innings, the vis-
iting Trojans added one run
in each inning to begin to
pull away. At the end of the
fourth inning, the Trojans
were ahead, 6-3. The Trojans
pushed their last run home in
the nal inning of the game,
making for a 7-3 result that
would become the games
nal tally after the Hawks
were unable to produce any
further scoreboard damage.
Brennan was three-for-
four at the plate, posting one
RBI and one double. Colsch
was one-for-three with the
bat, driving in one Hawk run-
ner as well.
Brennan was also the start-
ing pitcher for the Hawks,
suffering the mound loss af-
ter throwing the games rst
three innings and allowing
seven hits, six runs and two
walks with one strike-out.
Senior Matt Manning took
over for the last four innings
of the game, giving up two
hits and two walks with one
strike-out as well.
Turkey Valley is a good
team in our conference, and
we found that we can play
with them, Kee baseball
coach Gene Schultz said.
After the Hawks took
that loss to the Trojans, Kee
bounced back in ne fash-
ion to earn the doubleheader
split with a 3-0 victory. Even
though the Hawks didnt pro-
duce any more offense than
they did in game one, they
ourished defensively be-
hind the no-hit pitching effort
thrown by senior Jared Dona-
hue.
Donahue was actually per-
fect in his complete-game,
seven-inning effort, not al-
lowing a single baserunner on
hits or walks while striking
out eight batters. Kees de-
fense did commit one error as
the only blemish in an other-
wise awless seven defensive
innings of baseball.
With Donahue handling
the defensive aspect, the
Hawks didnt have too much
more scoreboard success than
their Trojan visitors. Being
held scoreless in ve of their
six turns at the plate, Kee
managed to push three runs
across the plate in the bottom
of the third inning. Seniors
Chris Carroll and Matt Man-
ning and junior Travis Colsch
each supplied one of the runs,
with junior Ryan Kuhn pro-
viding Kees only RBI of the
ballgame as he went two-for-
three at the plate with two
stolen bases. Colsch was one-
for-two at the dish, and Do-
nahue, Carroll and Manning
each also provided a single in
three at-bats.
The pitching perfor-
mance by Jared was great,
and it was the rst no-hitter
of his career, Kee baseball
coach Gene Schultz stated.
Jeff Houg Tournament ...
The baseball Hawks trav-
eled to Waukon to compete
in the annual Jeff Houg
Memorial Baseball Tourna-
ment Saturday, June 28. The
Hawks suffered a 19-8 defeat
in their opening round con-
test with Waterloo Colum-
bus before bouncing back to
defeat Waukon, 11-1 in ve
innings, to earn third place in
the tournament.
Fellow Upper Iowa Con-
ference squad South Winne-
shiek won this years tour-
nament, defeating Waukon,
15-1 in ve innings, in its
tournament opener before
pulling out a 7-6 triumph late
in the championship game to
defeat Waterloo Columbus.
Kee faced Waterloo Co-
lumbus in its rst game of the
Jeff Houg Tournament, and
did not succeed in beating
the Sailors. After scratching
back from a 9-4 decit to pull
within a run, 9-8, in the sixth
inning, the Hawks allowed
Columbus to erupt for 10
runs in the seventh frame to
seal the 19-8 Kee defeat.
In the rst inning of the
match, Waterloo Columbus
put up its rst run of the game
but did not let Kee get any
runs in that inning. In the fol-
lowing inning, Waterloo Co-
lumbus pushed an additional
two runs home and Kee bat-
tled back to nally get on the
scoreboard with one tally. At
the end of the second inning,
Waterloo Columbus was up,
3-1.
The two teams contin-
ued to trade runs in the third
frame, Waterloo Columbus
bringing home an extra four
runs but Kee also putting up
two runs to make for a 7-3
Kee decit. In the top of the
fourth, Waterloo Columbus
also added another run but
kept the Hawks silent in their
half of the fourth. Kee then
paid back that effort by hold-
ing Columbus silent for the
rst time in the contest while
also putting up a single run to
make for an 8-4 Kee decit
through ve complete frames.
Columbus got that one run
back in the top of the sixth
inning to build a 9-4 advan-
tage, but Kee came roaring
back with a four-run surge in
the bottom of the sixth to pull
within a single run, 9-8, as the
game entered its nal frame.
That seventh inning proved
to be all Sailors, however, as
Columbus punched 10 runs
across home plate, with Kee
unable to provide any kind
of an answer in falling by the
19-8 end result.
Senior Jared Donahue was
two-for-three at the plate with
one run scored and a team-
high three RBI. Freshman
Casey Carroll, senior Chris
Carroll and junior Travis
Colsch were each two-for-
four with the bat, Casey Car-
roll blasting a solo homerun
and Chris Carroll driving in
two runs for the Hawks.
Junior Ryan Kuhn pitched
the rst two innings of the
game against Waterloo Co-
lumbus, giving up six hits, six
runs and two walks while also
posting two strike-outs in the
mound loss. Freshman Danny
Brennan pitched a little over
one and a half innings for
the Hawks, allowing two hits
and two runs while walking
three players. Freshman Clay
Olson came in for Brennan
and pitched a little over two
innings, giving up ve hits,
seven runs and three walks
with one strike-out. Sopho-
more Nathan Wood came in
for Olson, but did not nish
one full inning, allowing two
hits, one walk and four runs.
Senior Nick Gavin came in
after Wood, and he pitched
the remaining two-thirds of
an inning, allowing one hit
and walking one player.
It was an interesting
game once we hit the sixth
inning, Kee baseball coach
Gene Schultz said. I hope
to do better in our upcoming
games.
After falling to Waterloo
Columbus, the Hawks were
matched up against the host
Indians in the consolation -
nals. The game was over in
ve innings, and the Hawks
took the game by a score of
11-1.
The Hawks got ahead right
away in the game, as they
put up one run in the rst in-
ning. Getting some help from
Waukons defense, Kee then
posted back-to-back ve-run
frames in the second and
third that pushed the Hawks
to a comfortable, 11-0 head-
start.
It was in the top of the
fourth inning that Waukon -
nally put up its rst and only
run of the game to make for
an 11-1 scoreboard result.
With the Indians unable to
do any further scoreboard
damage, they could not avoid
the 10-run mercy-rule defeat,
Kee securing third place at
the tournament with an 11-1
victory.
Freshman Clay Olson and
junior Ryan Kuhn were both
two-for-three at the plate in
the win, Olson posting two
RBI with a team-high three
runs scored and Kuhn driving
in a team-high three RBI with
one run scored. Senior Matt
Manning drove in the other
Kee run with his one-for-two
plate effort.
Manning was also the
complete-game pitching win-
ner for the Hawks, giving up
six hits and walking three In-
dian batters while racking up
a total of seven strike-outs in
the contest.
We started out with good
innings early in the game,
Kee baseball coach Gene
Schultz stated. We coasted
for the consolation win, and
we took third place in the
tournament.
Finally home ...
The Kee softball and baseball teams each made their 2014 debuts on their newly-renovated home elds in New Albin this past week, bringing
to an end the long wait to nally play in front of their true home fans this season. Pictured above, Kee players prepare Shooky Fink Field for their
home season debut, a Thursday, June 26 home split with Turkey Valley by scores of 7-3 in a game-one Kee loss and a 3-0 victory in the nightcap.
Prior to that June 26 split, the baseball Hawks played their home games at the City of Lansing ball eld. Prior to the softball Hawks sweep of West
Central Tuesday, June 24 by scores of 11-1 in six innings and 10-0 in ve innings, the softball Hawks had previously played their home games
on the Waukon High School softball diamond. View and nd out how to purchase this photo and much more by clicking on the Photo Galleries

Caution advised as peak boating season approaches
Heading toward the peak
of Iowas boating season,
boaters and other water recre-
ationists are urged to observe
safety rst, on or near their
favorite lake or stream. Tra-
ditionally, the Fourth of July
weekend is the busiest period
on Iowa waters. Boating, pad-
dling, shing and swimming
are even more popular with
what are often the warmest
temperatures of the year.
We urge boatersin-
cluding passengersto re-
main alert to activity around
them, advises Susan Stocker,
boating law administrator for
the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR). Dont
overload your craft. The U.S.
Coast Guard, along with man-
ufacturers, determines the ca-
pacity of each boat and it is
visible on virtually all boats.
Operators can brush up on
rules and regulations by tak-
ing the DNR boating safety
course. Iowa law requires any
person 12-17 years old who
will operate a motorboat over
ten horsepower or a person-
al watercraft to successfully
complete the education pro-
gram. It is available online
at www.iowadnr.gov/Recre-
ation/Boating/BoaterEduca-
tion.aspx.
Stocker reminds every-
one on board that they need
a properly-tted lifejacket.
Safety ofcials also urge
boaters to wear that life jack-
et. It is similar to seat belts
on the road. You wont have
time to grab it and put it on
when facing an emergency
situation, she said.
Other lake or river enthu-
siasts - from paddlers and an-
glers to swimmers - can avoid
problems too by wearing a
lifejacket, especially during
heavy periods of boat trafc.
The effects of sun, waves
and wind over a day on the
water are tiring, especially if
alcohol is involved. Alco-
hol has a dehydration effect.
It can impede judgment,
warns Stocker. Last year,
65 percent of Iowas boating
fatalities involved alcohol.
Boating while intoxicated is
against the law. A sober des-
ignated boat operator is vital
on board.
BOATING TIPS
Dont drink and operate
a boat
Take a boating safety
course
Always wear a lifejacket
- it cant work if its not on
Have a throwable oata-
tion device on board
Review boating laws
Remember, youth under
age 13 are required to wear
a lifejacket while the boat is
underway
Have patience and be
courteous on the ramp and
water
Get a weather forecast
before heading out
Keep watch for other
boaters, swimmers, skiers,
debris or other obstacles in
the water
Have a fully charged, us-
able re extinguisher
Maintain the boat trailer
(lights, wheel bearings, tires)
Have a working horn or
whistle
Prepare a boat in the rig-
ging lane prior to launching
Dont operate in a care-
less or reckless manner
Dont violate buoys, as
they are the road signs of the
water.

Waukon baseball team comes up shy of the win column in ve games
The Waukon baseball
team was denied in its efforts
this past week to add any of
its ve games played to the
win column, as the Indians
dropped to a 3-18 overall
record that includes a mark
of 1-7 in Northeast Iowa
Conference play. The Tribe
dropped a home doublehead-
er to Class 3A fourth-rated
Waverly-Shell Rock Monday,
June 23 by scores of 10-0 and
12-2 in ve innings each, sur-
rendered a 6-4 loss at home
to Postville Wednesday, June
25 and then nished fourth at
its own Jeff Houg Memorial
Baseball Tournament Satur-
day, June 28, falling by a 15-1
count in ve innings to even-
tual tournament champion,
Class 2A eighth-rated South
Winneshiek, before losing an
11-1 decision in ve innings
to Kee in the consolation -
nals of the tournament.
The Indians were also
scheduled to play at Charles
City Friday, June 27, but
had that game postponed by
weather to start off this week,
Monday, June 30, with that
game being played at Ricev-
ille High School instead. The
baseball Tribe will then play
a pair of road varsity dou-
bleheaders at Decorah and
at Oelwein Tuesday, July 1
and Thursday, July 3, respec-
tively, before hosting Class
2A ninth-rated New Hamp-
ton Tuesday, July 8 and then
wrapping up its regular sea-
son schedule Friday, July 11
at home against Crestwood.
vs. Waverly-Shell Rock ...
Class 3A fourth-rated Wa-
verly-Shell Rock proved to
live up to its highly-regarded
billing when the Go-Hawks
came to town and swept a
pair of mercy-rule decisions
from the baseball Indians
Monday, June 23. The Tribe
was held to just two hits in
a 10-0 game-one loss in six
frames, and managed four
hits in falling by a 12-2 result
in ve innings in the twinbill
nightcap.
Just two hits and three
baserunners didnt provide
much of a challenge for the
Go-Hawks in the Indians
10-0 game-one loss. After
being retired in order in three
consecutive innings the rst
time through their batting
line-up, the Indians managed
their rst baserunner on a
walk drawn by senior sec-
ond baseman Tyler Benzing
in the fourth inning. A lead-
off single from sophomore
third baseman Chris Miller
in the fth frame and a one-
out single by junior pitcher
Jake Ronan in the sixth were
the only hits allowed by Wa-
verly-Shell Rock junior left-
hander Jake Velky, none of
those three Indian baserun-
ners advancing past second
base in the contest.
Indian defense did its
best to keep pace with Wa-
verly-Shell Rock early on,
keeping the high-powered
Go-Hawks scoreless through
the games rst two innings.
Five singles and a double in
the third frame changed that
landscape considerably for a
5-0 Indian decit in the fth
inning, with a walk, two sin-
gles and a double adding
three more runs to that Wa-
verly-Shell Rock scoreboard
total and a single, a elders
choice and back-to-back
homeruns putting the nish-
ing touches on the 10-0 Indi-
an defeat.
Junior Jake Ronan suffered
the pitching loss, throwing
the games entire ve in-
nings-plus. He gave up 12
hits and one walk while strik-
ing out one batter.
The baseball Indians
didnt completely roll over
for the visiting Go-Hawks
after that scoreless game-one
loss, battling Waverly-Shell
Rock to a 3-2 result through
the rst four innings of the
doubleheaders second game.
A troublesome fth inning,
however, saw the visitors rack
up nine runs to push the game
to its 12-2 mercy-rule ending.
The Indians allowed Wa-
verly-Shell Rock to method-
ically build a 3-0 headstart in
their rst four innings at the
plate. An Indian error and a
single plated a rst-inning
tally; a walk, a double and a
passed ball added one run in
the third; and a hit batter, an
Indian error and a single built
that Waverly-Shell Rock lead
to 3-0 through the top of the
fourth frame.
The Indians got a lead-off
single in the opening frame
from junior center elder
Jake Ronan to pose an early
scoreboard threat in the con-
test, but left him standing on
third base. It wasnt until the
fourth inning that the Tribe
managed another hit, get-
ting a two-out double from
sophomore third baseman
Chris Miller followed direct-
ly by a single from junior
left elder Marshall Lyons
and a walk drawn by junior
catcher Landon Sivesind.
Those walks kept coming,
as sophomore right elder
Haden Hammel and senior
rst baseman Sam Schwartz
each battled for free passes
to plate Miller and Lyons,
respectively, and pull the In-
dians within a 3-2 scoreboard
result through four complete
innings.
Whatever momentum had
been gained by that brief In-
dian comeback was quickly
lost in the top of the fth in-
ning, as the Go-Hawks erupt-
ed for nine runs in that frame.
A dropped third strike, a hit
batsman and a walk put the
mercy-rule wheels in motion,
as the Go-Hawks managed
just three singles during that
offensive surge but got ad-
ditional help from two more
walks and an Indian error
to bolt to a 12-2 scoreboard
margin.
The Indians tried to recov-
er a bit with a one-out single
from junior rst baseman
Sully Bucheit in the bottom
of the fth followed by senior
pitcher Parker Hesse being hit
by a pitch. But a game-ending
double play quickly brought
that Indian threat, and the
ballgame, to an abrupt end,
sealing the 12-2 Indian loss.
Bucheit was tagged with
the pitching loss, giving up
just ve hits and three walks
while striking out two batters
in four and one-third innings.
Hesse came on for the games
nal two-thirds of an inning,
allowing one hit and two
walks.
vs. Postville ...
The baseball Indians found
themselves in a nail-biting
exchange with Postville in a
non-conference home contest
Wednesday, June 25. The two
teams seemed to always have
a response for the others ac-
tions, until, unfortunately, a
crucial seventh inning that
saw the Tribe diamond dwell-
ers come up short of turning
away a 6-4 loss.
The two teams waged
scoreless war on one anoth-
er through the games rst
two frames, Postville nally
breaking the scoring ice with
two runs scored on three sin-
gles and two Indian errors.
The Indians formulated a bit
of an answer to that early
Pirate surge, getting back-to-
back walks from senior Sam
Schwartz and junior Jake
Ronan before junior Sully
Bucheit singled in Schwartzs
courtesy runner, eighth grad-
er Mitchell Snitker, to cut the
Indian decit in half at 2-1.
After keeping Postville
scoreless in the top of the
fourth, the Indians fully com-
pleted their initial comeback
effort with two more runs in
the bottom of that frame. Ju-
nior Landon Sivesind popped
a one-out single before soph-
omore Haden Hammel and
Schwartz joined him on the
basepaths via a walk and be-
ing hit by a pitch, respective-
ly. Ronan then delivered both
Hammel and courtesy runner
Snitker home with his own
single, pushing the Indians in
front by a 3-2 count.
An exchange of runs in the
fth inning kept that Indian
margin on the scoreboard,
Postville rst pulling even
with the Tribe on consecu-
tive singles in the top of the
frame. The Indian answer be-
gan with back-to-back walks
drawn by senior Parker Hesse
and sophomore Chris Miller
before junior Marshall Lyons
stepped to the plate to single
Hesse home and push the In-
dians back in front, 4-3.
Neither team managed to
score in the sixth inning, but
Postville suddenly erupted
for two doubles and a single
following a lead-off walk in
the seventh to double its run
total and bolt to a 6-4 advan-
tage over the Indians. The
middle of the Indian batting
order had no answer to that
nal Pirate uprising, as all
three batters who came to the
plate in that fateful bottom
of the seventh inning were
retired in order on strikes to
seal the 6-4 Indian defeat.
Hammel suffered the
pitching loss, coming on in
the seventh inning and giving
up those nal three Postville
hits while also striking out
one batter. Senior Tyler Ben-
zing threw the games rst
six-plus innings, allowing
six hits and two walks while
striking out ve batters.
Ronan was two-for-three
in the contest with a pair of
singles and a walk for two
runs batted in. Lyons also
collected two singles in four
at-bats, driving in one Indian
run, with Bucheit knocking in
the other Indian tally.
Jeff Houg Tournament ...
The baseball Indians host-
ed their annual Jeff Houg
Memorial Tournament Satur-
day, June 28, with this years
event also honoring the 25-
year reunion of the Waukon
High School graduating class
of 1989, of which Houg was
a member (see photo and
additional information on
Page 13A). Missing a hand-
ful of starting players due to
their commitment to a Future
Business Leaders of America
(FBLA) trip to the national
convention, the Indians were
all too gracious hosts in fall-
ing in both of its tournament
games to nish fourth at the
annual event, dropping a 15-1
decision in ve innings to
eventual tournament champi-
on South Winneshiek before
falling to Kee, 11-1 in ve
innings, in the tournaments
consolation game.
South Winneshiek took the
tournament title from Water-
loo Columbus by a 7-6 nal
result. Columbus had de-
feated Kee in its tournament
opener by a 19-8 result.
The Indians managed just
one hit and three baserunners
in falling in their tournament
opener to Class 2A eighth-rat-
ed South Winneshiek. The
hard-hitting Warriors erupt-
ed for 15 hits in the contest,
including four homeruns, to
deal the Tribe a 15-1 defeat in
ve frames.
That lone Indian hit was a
fourth-inning triple by soph-
omore third baseman Chris
Miller, who then scored the
Indians lone run of the con-
test on an ensuing ground-out
in junior rst baseman Sully
Bucheits at-bat. The only
other Indian baserunners in
the ballgame came from a
one-out walk drawn by senior
second baseman Tyler Ben-
zing in the rst inning and
on a one-out error in senior
rst baseman Parker Hesses
at-bat, who was eventually
stranded on third base.
Prior to that lone Indian
tally in the ballgame, South
Winneshiek had already built
a 15-0 headstart, nine of those
runs coming right away in the
opening frame on three con-
secutive walks to start off the
game, one hit batsman, one
Indian error, three singles and
two homeruns, including a
cake-topping grand slam for
a 9-0 Warrior lead. A lead-off
homerun, a double and two
sacrice y-outs added two
more South Winneshiek runs
in the second inning, with
three more being plated on
yet another homerun, three
singles and a double in the
third. The nishing touches
were nally put on with a sin-
gle run in the fourth via two
singles and a sacrice y that
completed that 15-0 Warrior
margin.
After scoring their lone
run in the fourth to avoid an
even earlier mercy-rule end-
ing to the game, the Indians
managed to keep South Win-
neshiek scoreless in the fth
inning. But the Tribes nal
turn at the plate also proved
unproductive, as the three
Indian batters who came to
the plate were turned away in
order to seal the 15-1 Indian
defeat.
Hesse was dealt the pitch-
ing loss, facing just three bat-
ters in the games opening
frame and walking all three.
Bucheit came on in early re-
lief, nishing the games nal
ve frames to allow 15 hits
and one hit batsman while
also striking out one South
Winneshiek batter.
The Indians fared a little
better with their bats but not
on the scoreboard in falling
by an 11-1 result in ve in-
nings in their consolation -
nals contest against Kee. The
Tribe managed six hits in the
contest, but could only plate
one run, leaving nine runners
on base that included a pair of
bases-loaded frames.
After opening the game
with just a single run in the
rst inning on a walk, an In-
dian error and a single, Kee
posted back-to-back ve-run
innings in the second and
third frames to bolt to its
fateful nal tally. Four walks,
two Indian errors and one sin-
gle accounted for ve runs in
the second inning, and two
free passes, another error and
ve singles plated ve more
Hawks in the fourth.
Waukons lone run of the
contest came in the fourth
frame, as eighth grade right
elder Mitchell Snitker drew
a one-out walk, took second
on a passed ball, and was
driven in by a single from
sophomore left elder Haden
Hammel. The Indians had

Waukon softball team posts single victory in busy seven-game week
The Waukon softball team
was only able to put one of its
seven games in the win col-
umn this past week, adding
that win to its Northeast Iowa
Conference (NEIC) record to
currently hold a 7-19 overall
record, 2-12 in NEIC play.
The Indians began the week
with a 4-1 loss at Charles
City Monday, June 23 be-
fore falling at home to Dec-
orah Wednesday, June 25 by
scores of 10-0 in ve innings
and 12-2. The softball Tribe
then split a road NEIC dou-
bleheader at Oelwein Thurs-
day, June 26, falling by a 6-5
result in nine innings before
winning the 8-4 nightcap, and
then fell in two games at the
Decorah Tournament Satur-
day, June 28, surrendering a
4-3 decision to Turkey Valley
in the tournament opener be-
fore falling to St. Ansgar by
a 12-0 result in just three in-
nings.
The Indians will wrap up
their regular season with three
consecutive nights of softball
this week, a Tuesday, July
1 home doubleheader with
New Hampton, a Wednesday,
July 2 non-conference affair
at Kee, and a Thursday, July
3 doubleheader at Crestwood.
The Tribe diamond dwellers
will then return to Crestwood
Tuesday, July 8 for the rst
round of Class 3A Regional
Tournament play, with details
of that postseason tournament
trail published in a shaded
box elsewhere on this same
Sports page.
at Charles City ...
The softball Indians bat-
tled Charles City through a
fairly strong defensive battle
before surrendering a 4-1 de-
feat to the host Comets. The
long ball accounted for near-
ly all of the runs scored in the
contest, as the lone Indian run
was dialed long distance and
three of Charles Citys tallies
also came courtesy of a pair
of round-trippers.
The host Comets were the
rst to strike, brushing away
a rst-inning single by soph-
omore right elder Madison
Snitker in the top of the frame
before piecing together a sin-
gle and two-run homerun for
an early 2-0 Indian decit.
The Indians responded direct-
ly, however, with their own bit
of power display, as freshman
left elder Erika Johnson un-
loaded a solo round-tripper to
get the Indians on the board
and cut Charles Citys lead in
half, 2-1.
Indian defense kept the
host Comets silent in four
of the games remaining ve
frames after their initial blast,
but a solo homerun and three
singles in the fourth inning
pushed the Comet advantage
to 4-1. The Indian offense was
kept virtually silent following
Johnsons scoring blast, man-
aging just a fourth-inning sin-
gle from sophomore second
baseman Kayley Benzing and
another single in the sixth
by senior shortstop Kiersten
Christianson. Besides John-
sons full circuit, none of the
other three Indian baserun-
ners in the contest advanced
further than second base, as
Charles City sophomore Me-
gan Roetler gave up just four
Indian hits, walked no batters
and struck out nine Indians to
help her team clinch the 4-1
Indian defeat.
Junior Thea Meyer suf-
fered the pitching loss for the
Indians, allowing eight hits
and two walks while striking
out one Comet in the com-
plete-game pitching effort.
vs. Decorah ...
The Indian offense contin-
ued its struggling ways in be-
ing swept at home in a North-
east Iowa Conference (NEIC)
doubleheader with Decorah
Wednesday, June 25, a team
the Indians had defeated, 8-5,
earlier this season for their
only NEIC win of the season
thus far. The Tribe was out-
scored by a combined 22-2
count in falling by a 10-0
mercy-rule decision in game
one before suffering a similar
fate, 12-2, in the nightcap.
Although the Indians man-
aged ve hits in game one
of their home twinbill with
Decorah, none of those hits
came in the same inning nor
at any other opportune time.
Besides those ve hits, the
Tribe managed just one other
baserunner to never advance
a scoring threat past second
base in the contest.
With the Indian offense not
putting up much of a ght,
Decorah used four singles
and some frustrating small
ball bunt tactics to both ad-
vance and gain baserunners to
the tune of a 5-0 headstart af-
ter the Vikings initial at-bats.
Indian defense settled in for a
couple scoreless innings after
that, but three Indian errors
were taken advantage of in
the fourth inning by a double
and two singles to plate an-
other ve Decorah tallies and
improve the Viking standing
to its eventual 10-0 end result.
Junior Thea Meyer was
tagged with the pitching loss,
scattering nine Decorah hits
and walking no batters while
striking out one Viking. Of
the 10 runs allowed by the In-
dians, only half of them were
earned runs.
Sophomore second base-
man Kayley Benzing, se-
nior rst baseman McKayla
Stock, senior catcher Jenna
Jones and sophomore desig-
nated player Bethany Stock
each swatted singles in just
two plate appearances each.
Sophomore center elder Ni-
cole Behrend also knocked
around a double in two plate
appearances to further aid the
limited the Indian offensive
effort.
The Indians were locked
in a much tighter battle ear-
ly on in game two of their
home twinbill with Decorah.
The softball Tribe had played
the visiting Vikings to just a
2-1 decit through four com-
plete innings before Decorah
erupted for a ve-run fth
inning and four more runs in
the sixth on the way to a 12-2
Indian defeat.
Decorah again struck right
away in the rst inning, using
a double, a passed ball and a
elders choice to plate the
games rst tally for a 1-0
Viking headstart. The visitors
took advantage of a lead-off
Indian error in the second
frame with a two-out triple to
double their run total to a 2-0
advantage before the Indians
nally mustered an answer.
That answer came in the
form of the long ball, as se-
nior rst baseman McKayla
Stock blasted a solo homerun
with two outs in the bottom
of the second inning for the
rst Indian run of the entire
evening. The only other Indi-
an hits in the ballgame came
from a pair of singles from
sophomore pitcher Madison
Snitker in the rst and fourth
innings, although the Indians
were able to tally one more
run later in the game with
some Decorah assistance.
Prior to any further Indian
scoring, Decorah hammered
out its back-to-back innings
of offensive surge in the fth
and sixth frames. Three sin-
gles, a double and two walks
helped plate ve Viking runs
in the fth, and a hit batter,
another walk, a single, a dou-
ble and back-to-back Indian
errors helped improve Dec-
orahs standing to 11-1 after
the visitors sixth-inning turn
at the plate.
Following that Viking bar-
rage, the Indians managed
one nal run in the sixth
frame to at least keep the
game from ending by 10-run
mercy rule. Junior third base-
man Allie Schwartz drew a
lead-off walk, stole second
base and advanced the rest of
the way home on consecutive
ground-outs by senior short-
stop Kiersten Christianson
and Snitker to trim Decorahs
lead to 11-2 with one inning
yet to play.
Decorah had a direct an-
swer for that late Indian tally,
stroking a single and a double
in succession to push the Vi-
king lead back to double dig-
its at 12-2. Despite a two-out
walk issued to senior catcher
Jenna Jones in the seventh
and nal inning, the Indians
could not muster any further
threat to the Viking advan-
tage, falling by the 12-2 nal
result.
Snitker suffered the pitch-
ing loss, giving up ve hits
and three walks while strik-
ing out two batters in four and
two-thirds innings, allowing
four earned runs out of ve
tallied by the Vikings in her
tenure on the mound. Sopho-
more Leslie Sivesind came on
for two and one-third innings
of relief, allowing seven hits
and two walks while giving
up seven earned runs.
at Oelwein ...
The softball Indians trav-
eled to Oelwein Thursday,
June 26 for a second consec-
utive Northeast Iowa Confer-
ence doubleheader. Already
having battled the Huskies
to a 6-5 loss in nine innings
earlier this season, the Indian
suffered through that same
fate in the June 26 twinbill
opener, once again falling by
a 6-5 count in nine innings
before exacting a bit of re-
venge in the nightcap with an
8-4 victory.
In a near case of deja vu,
the softball Indians opened
their June 26 doubleheader
at Oelwein with a 6-5 loss
in nine innings, giving away
a late lead to force extra in-
nings before allowing the
winning run in the bottom of
the ninth frame. The softball
Tribe held as much as a 5-2
advantage through ve com-
plete innings, but suffered
some defensive letdowns to
not only allow the host Hus-
kies back in the game with
three late runs, but also let
them score the game-winning
run in the ninth.
The two teams exchanged
runs right away in the rst
inning, the Indians striking
rst on a two-out walk drawn
by junior shortstop Allie
Schwartz followed by con-
secutive singles from sopho-
more second baseman Kayley
Benzing and senior rst base-
man McKayla Stock to help
Schwartz complete her base
circuit for a 1-0 Indian advan-
tage. Oelwein countered right
away, however, in the bottom
of the rst frame, taking ad-
vantage of two walks and an
Indian error with two singles
to push two runs of its own
across for a 2-1 Indian decit.
The two teams then trad-
ed scoreless blows through-
out the next three frames,
that Oelwein lead remain-
ing until the top of the fth
when the Indians unleashed
a four-run surge. Sophomore
right elder Madison Snitker
led off that Indian barrage
with a double just ahead of
a run-scoring single from se-
nior center elder Kiersten
Christianson. Another walk
issued to Schwartz was fol-
lowed by a elders choice
that put her out at second but
allowed Benzing to reach
safely. Stock then reached
on a Husky error that also
scored Christianson before
junior designated player Ka-
tie Kerndt smacked a two-out
single to score both Benzing
and Stock, the Indians taking
over the lead and building it
to 5-2 through ve innings of
play.
After holding Oelwein
scoreless for a fourth con-
secutive inning in the bottom
of the fth, the Indians were
dealt a similar fate in the top
of the sixth before Oelwein
nally broke its scoring si-
lence on four singles and a
run-scoring error that erod-
ed the Indian lead to just 5-4
with one inning of regulation
play remaining.
After the Indians were
turned quietly away again in
the top of the seventh, Oel-
wein managed to pull even
in its nal opportunity at the
plate, taking advantage of
a two-out walk and passed
ball with a run-scoring dou-
ble that knotted the game at
5-5 before the Indians could
secure the third out, pushing
the game into extra innings.
The eighth inning proved
unproductive for both teams,
but the ninth saw each team
mount a considerable threat,
with only one of those being
realized.
The Indians rst forced the
issue in the top of the ninth
frame, as Christianson and
Schwartz banged out back-
to-back singles before Ben-
zing forced out Christianson
at third base while reaching
safely on a elders choice
for the rst out. Stock then
stroked her third single of
the ballgame to load the bas-
es with Indians with just two
outs in the books, but the next
two Indian batters ied out
and grounded out, respective-
ly, to leave that threat unreal-
ized and the 5-5 knot still in
place.
Unable to help themselves
on offense in the top of the
ninth, the Indians gave Oel-
wein just enough help on
defense in the bottom of the
frame to bring the game to an
unfortunate end. An ineld
error allowed the lead-off
Husky to reach safely, and
a one-out single eventually
brought that gifted runner
home with the game-ending
run to nalize the 6-5 Indian
defeat.
Junior Thea Meyer suf-
fered the pitching loss, giving
up nine hits and ve walks
while striking out one batter.
She allowed just four earned
runs out of the six scored by
Oelwein in the extra-inning
affair.
Stock poked out three sin-
gles in ve at-bats to drive
in a pair of Indian runs, with
Kerndt also knocking in a
pair of Indian tallies with a
single. Christianson was also
two-for-ve at the plate with
one RBI, with Snitker pound-
ing out a double.
It was the Indians turn
for a late comeback effort, as
they overcame an early 2-0
decit and as much as a 4-2
hole midway through the sec-
ond game of their Northeast
Iowa Conference double-dip
at Oelwein. The Indians used
a pair of late three-run frames
to not only overcome that 4-2
disadvantage but to also pull
away to an 8-4 victory that
snapped what had become
a recent seven-game losing
streak for the Orange and
Black.
Perhaps riding some late
momentum from their ex-
tra-inning victory in game
one, the host Huskies picked
up where they left off right
away in the opening frame of
game two, popping four con-
secutive singles and ve total
for a 2-0 headstart right out
of the gate. The Indians were
nally able to counter that
initial Oelwein outburst in
the top of the third with three
consecutive doubles with two
outs from sophomore pitcher
Madison Snitker, senior cen-
ter elder Kiersten Christian-
son and junior shortstop Allie
Schwartz to knot the score at
2-2 in the top of the third.
Oelwein answered that In-
dian challenge in two phases,
taking the lead back right
away, at 3-2, with a single run
in the bottom of the third on
two singles, a elders choice
and an Indian error. After
keeping Waukon silent in the
top of the fourth inning, the
host Huskies then added an-
other run to their lead with a
single and double to make for
a 4-2 Indian decit through
four complete innings.
The Indians took advan-
tage of some Oelwein gen-
erosity in the top of the fth
to take their rst turn at the
lead. Freshman third base-
man Regan Wasson drew a
lead-off walk and Snitker sin-
gled before a elders choice
in Christiansons at-bat put
Snitker out at second but al-
lowed Christianson to reach
safely and Wasson to blaze
home. Back-to-back walks
issued to Schwartz and Ben-
zing loaded the bases before
Christianson and Schwartz
each found their way home
on ground balls to push the
Tribe in front, 5-4.
Oelwein did not have an
answer in the bottom of the
fth, and neither team could
tally in the sixth, leaving that
one-run Indian advantage on
the scoreboard heading into
the nal frame. This time,
however, the Indians left little
room for an Oelwein come-
back, getting three consecu-
tive singles from Christian-
son, Schwartz and Benzing
before Stock delivered Chris-
tianson and Schwartz home
with a two-run double and
Benzing scored on a ground-
out by freshman left elder
Erika Johnson to push the
Indian lead to 8-4. Despite a
lead-off single to start Oel-
weins nal turn at the plate,
Indian defense settled in to
retire the next three batters in
order to secure the 8-4 Wau-
kon victory.
Snitker secured the pitch-
ing win for the Indians, al-
lowing 11 hits and no walks
while striking out six Huskies
in the complete-game effort.
Christiansons three-for-four
plate effort included a double
and two runs batted in (RBI),
with Stock knocking in three
runs with a double in four at-
bats. Schwartz was two-for-
three with a double and one
RBI and Snitker was two-for-
four with a double.
Decorah Tournament ...
Missing a handful of key
contributors due to a trip to
the Future Business Leaders
of America (FBLA) National
Convention in Nashville, TN,
the softball Indians turned in
two very different extremes in
suffering the same overall re-
sult in just two games played
at the Decorah Tournament
Saturday, June 28. The Tribe
let a 4-3 result slip away in
the late innings in its tourna-
ment opener against Turkey
Valley before being dealt a
12-0 pounding by St. Ansgar
to end their tournament day.
Locked in a tight early bat-
tle with Turkey Valley in the
opening round of the tour-
nament, the softball Indians
nally managed to build a
3-0 advantage late in the ball-
game. However, the Turkey
Valley bats also awakened
late to answer that 3-0 Indian
burst with a four-run surge of
its own.
The Indians dodged a cou-
ple of early Turkey Valley
bullets in keeping the bases
loaded in the rst and two
more runners in scoring po-
sition in the third to keep the
Trojans scoreless. Although
not faring any better during
that same timeframe, the In-
dians nally did light up the
scoreboard on back-to-back
singles from sophomore sec-
ond baseman Kayley Ben-
zing and freshman left elder
Erika Johnson followed by a
elders choice in junior right
elder Katie Kerndts at-bat
and an error in sophomore
designated player Bethany
Stocks at-bat that allowed
Johnson to scamper home for
a 1-0 Indian lead.
After further defensive
denial, the Indians expand-
ed their lead to 3-0 with two
more runs in the top of the
fth frame. Freshman third
baseman Regan Wasson start-
ed that Indian surge with a
lead-off single before being
put out at second base on a
elders choice in senior cen-
ter elder Kiersten Christian-
sons at-bat. Senior catcher
Jenna Jones and Benzing
each followed with singles of
their own, Benzing driving in
both Christianson and Jones
to improve the Indian stand-
ing to 3-0 heading into the
bottom of the fth frame.
Having been limited to just
three hits through the games
rst four innings, Turkey Val-
ley suddenly erupted for three
consecutive singles before
scoring on a ground-out to -
nally get on the scoreboard at
3-1. The Indians left two run-
ners stranded on second and
third in the top of the sixth
before the Trojans rattled off
a double and a single to take
advantage of a walk and an
Indian error that pushed three
runs across the plate and
boosted the Trojans to a 4-3
lead.
The Indians had one nal
opportunity to overcome that
Trojan lead grab, getting a
one-out single from Benzing,
and Johnson also reaching on
an error. Turkey Valleys de-
fense, however, turned those
Indian opportunities away
before they could be added to
the scoreboard, nalizing the
4-3 Indian loss.
Junior Thea Meyer was
tagged with the pitching loss,
allowing nine hits and four
walks while striking out two
Turkey Valley batters. Ben-
zing swatted out three sin-
gles in four at-bats, driving in
two of the Tribes three runs.
Stock blasted two doubles in
three at-bats, with Johnson
knocking around two singles
in four turns at the plate to
score one Indian run.
The Indians were all but
absent in their second and
nal game of the Decorah
Tournament, being blasted by
St. Ansgar by a 12-0 result in
just three innings of play. The
Indians managed just two hits
in the contest and allowed
the opposing Saints innings
of three, four and six runs to
suffer the early mercy-rule
ending.
Those two Indian hits in-
cluded a second-inning lead-
off single by sophomore sec-
ond baseman Kayley Benzing
and a one-out single in the
third by freshman rst base-
man Deana Schlitter. Ben-
zing took second on a passed
ball and advanced all the way
to third on a ground-out by
sophomore catcher Bethany
Stock, but joined Schlitter in
being stranded short of the
scoreboard.
While keeping the Indians
well in check, St. Ansgar also
controlled the offensive side
of the ball, taking advantage
of a walk and two Indian er-
rors with a double and a sin-
gle for a 3-0 headstart in the
opening frame. The Saints
pounded out three singles
and a double in taking fur-
ther advantage of two more
Indian defensive miscues to
expand the Tribes decit to
7-0 through two complete
innings. St. Ansgar put the
nishing touches on with
nearly doubling its offensive
total with six runs in the third
frame on three more singles,
three more Indian errors and
a game-ending homerun to
nish off the 12-0 Indian de-
feat.
Sophomore Leslie
Sivesind suffered the pitch-
ing loss, giving up 10 hits and
one walk while striking out
one batter, but being victim-
ized by eight Indian errors.

Kee softball team continues to roll with undefeated busy week of 10 games
by Val Meyer
After going winless in
its previous week of limited
competition, the Kee soft-
ball team reversed its fortune
considerably this past week,
rattling off 10 straight wins
during an undefeated busy
stretch on the diamond. The
Hawks improved to a 24-5
overall record, including a
17-1 mark that keeps them
atop the Upper Iowa Confer-
ence.
Kees busy week includ-
ed four consecutive double-
header sweeps of Upper Iowa
Conference foes that included
a pair of 15-0 wins at Postville
Monday, June 23, mercy-rule
triumphs of 11-1 in six in-
nings and 10-0 in ve innings
over West Central Tuesday,
June 24 in their season de-
but on their newly-renovated
home eld, tighter wins of 7-0
and 6-0 over Turkey Valley at
home Thursday, June 26 and
an even narrower sweep of
North Fayette Valley at home
Friday, June 27 by scores of
5-4 and 4-1. Following that
Upper Iowa Conference dom-
inance, the Hawks continued
their winning ways through
two three-inning, mercy-rule
efforts at the Decorah Tour-
nament Saturday, June 28
- defeating St. Ansgar by a
14-0 result and Turkey Val-
ley again by a 13-1 count -
and also held a 7-4 lead over
Osage late in the tournament
championship game, but had
that game remain uncomplet-
ed due to severe weather.
The Hawks were slated to
play a varsity doublehead-
er at MFL/Mar Mac Mon-
day, June 30 before hosting
Waukon Wednesday, July 2
and then playing at Clayton
Ridge Thursday, July 3. The
Lady Hawks will then play in
the Don Bosco Tournament
Friday and Saturday, July 4
and 5 to wrap up their reg-
ular season, with Class 1A
Regional Tournament play
scheduled to begin for the
Hawks Wednesday, July 9
at home. Further details of
Kees postseason tournament
trail can be found in a shaded
box elsewhere on this same
Sports page.
at Postville ...
Monday, June 23, the soft-
ball Hawks went to Postville
and played two games against
the host Pirates, taking both
games by identical scores of
15-0. Each game was done
within ve innings due to the
ten-run mercy rule.
In the rst inning of game
one, Kee was not able to put
up any runs, but the second
inning was when the Hawks
switched gears and did not let
the Pirates get in their way.
The rst batter in the second
inning was freshman third
baseman Courtney Cooper,
who hit a solo homerun into
deep left eld to get Kees hit
parade started. Senior catch-
er Ellie Heiderscheit was
then walked and made her
way around the bases before
junior rst baseman Molly
Walleser got on rst and was
then batted in by eighth grade
designated hitter Chloe Sev-
ersons two-run round-trip-
per. Senior right elder Jor-
dan Colsch came to the plate
after Severson, and was hit
by the pitcher, stole a base
and also made it all the way
around the basepaths, help-
ing boost the Hawks to a 5-0
headstart.
The third inning saw both
teams fall scoreless once
again, but in the fourth frame
Kee added three runs to its
score. Sophomore second
baseman Ellie Cooper, senior
shortstop Kaylee Darling and
eighth grade pitcher Kend-
ra Cooper were the three to
get home safely, improving
Kees lead to 8-0.
During the fth and nal
inning of the rst game, Kee
pushed a total of seven runs
onto the scoreboard. Ellie
Cooper and Darling both got
on base, and were then bat-
ted in from Kendra Cooper
hitting the third homerun
of the game. The other four
runs came from Heider-
scheit, Walleser, Severson
and Colsch, securing the 15-0
Kee victory.
Severson was a perfect
three-for-three at the plate
with a two-run homerun to
both score and drive in two
runs for the Hawks. Darling
and Kendra Cooper were
each three-for-four with the
bat and scored two runs each,
Cooper driving in four runs
that included a three-run ho-
mer and Darling knocking in
two runs. Courtney Cooper
and Walleser were each two-
for-four, Cooper knocking
a solo round-tripper to drive
in a run and Walleser joining
junior center elder Val Mey-
er in also driving in a pair of
runs.
Kendra Cooper took the
mound for the rst game
against Postville, pitching the
entire ve innings. She gave
up just two hits, walked one
batter and accumulated 11
strike-outs.
The pitching for these
two games was stellar, Kee
softball coach Liz Hill stated.
The girls always have fun
and enjoy the game.
Heading into game two of
the night, Kee kept its ener-
gy levels up and was able
to again beat the Pirates by
a 15-0 tally in ve innings.
The Hawks did not score in
the rst inning once again,
but pushed ve runs across
throughout the second, third
and fourth innings before n-
ishing the game off with a 10-
run burst in the fth frame.
Junior rst baseman Mol-
ly Walleser got the rst run
of the game after hammering
out a triple and being batted
in by eighth grade designat-
ed hitter Chloe Severson for
a 1-0 jumpstart in the second
inning. In the third inning of
the match, sophomore sec-
ond baseman Ellie Cooper
got on base and was batted
around to home by junior
center elder Val Meyer.
Eighth grade pinch-runner
Nicki Wood came in to run
for Meyer, and was then bat-
ted in by senior catcher Ellie
Heiderscheit. Severson got
on rst base from a hit in left
eld, and got home from a hit
by Ellie Cooper, all of that
action helping Kee to a 5-0
advantage through four com-
plete frames.
In the fth and nal inning,
Kee pushed a total of ten runs
across home plate. Eighth
grade third baseman Kend-
ra Cooper launched a grand
slam to start the Hawks of-
fensive merry-go-round. The
last six runs of the game
were from Meyer, freshman
pitcher Courtney Cooper and
Heiderscheit each getting
home twice in the same in-
ning, Kee securing a second
consecutive 15-0 triumph.
Courtney Cooper pitched
the second game for the
Hawks. Throughout ve in-
nings, Cooper allowed two
walks and two hits while re-
cording a total of 11 strike-
outs.
Meyers plate perfection
of four hits in four at-bats
included a double, three
runs scored and one RBI,
with Courtney Cooper and
Heiderscheit each collecting
a double in three-for-four
plate efforts, Heiderscheit
driving in four runs and scor-
ing two while Cooper scored
three tallies and drove in an-
other. Kendra Cooper was
two-for-four, including a
grand slam homerun for four
quick RBI, with Walleser
also driving in a pair of Kee
tallies in a two-for-three ef-
fort that included a triple to
help out the Hawks 17 total
hits in the contest.
The hitting was incred-
ible against Postville, Kee
softball coach Liz Hill said.
Kee has been working hard
in the off-season to have wins
like this, and it is surely pay-
ing off.
vs. West Central ...
The following day, Tues-
day, June 24, Kee hosted its
rst home game of the 2014
season on its newly renovat-
ed eld in New Albin against
the West Central Blue Dev-
ils. The Hawks won the rst
game, 11-1 in six innings,
and the next game was also
over early by mercy-rule with
a 10-0 Kee victory in place.
Right away in the rst
inning of game one sopho-
more second baseman Ellie
Cooper pounded a double to
left eld and was batted in by
senior shortstop Kaylee Dar-
ling, who was also knocked
in by a double off the bat of
junior center elder Val Mey-
er. Meyer was also brought
around for a run by a single
from freshman pitcher Court-
ney Cooper, giving Kee a 3-0
headstart.
In the second inning of
the rst game, two runs were
added to the Hawks score,
as eight grader Chloe Sever-
son and Darling were able to
maneuver their way around
the bases to improve Kees
standing to 5-0. There were
no runs for either team in the
third inning, but Darling and
senior right elder Jordan
Colsch were the two girls to
cross home plate in the fourth
after the visiting Blue Devils
nally scratched a run home,
making for a 7-1 Hawk ad-
vantage through four com-
plete frames.
In the fth inning, Ellie
Cooper got on rst base, stole
her way to
second, and
was bat-
ted in by
Darling be-
fore senior
catcher El-
lie Heider-
scheit was
hit by a
pitch and
was batted
in when
Colsch hit
a two-run
h o m e r u n
out of deep
left eld to
give Kee a
10-1 lead. In
what turned
out to be the
nal inning,
the Hawks
pushed one
more run
home in
the sixth.
Meyer got
on base,
and eighth
grader Nic-
ki Wood
came in to
run. Wood
was batted
in by junior
rst base-
man Molly
Wa l l e s e r
to cap off
the Hawks
mercy-rule
victory, 11-
1.
E i g h t h
grader Ken-
dra Cooper
picked up
the pitching
win. Within
six innings,
Cooper gave
up three
hits and no
walks while
posting 10
strike-outs.
Colschs

i n c l u d e d

with Dar-

the plate,
D a r l i n g
both scoring
and driving

and Meyer
doing like-
wise for a
pair each.
Ellie Cooper was also two-
for-three with a double and
two runs scored.
The girls played well,
Kee softball coach Liz Hill
said. They are ghting for
where they want to be in the
future.
Going into the second
game against West Central,
Kee took the game in ve
short innings by 10-0 mer-
cy rule. The Hawks jumped
on the Blue Devils early and
never looked back.
In the bottom of the rst
inning, sophomore second
baseman Ellie Cooper and se-
nior shortstop Kaylee Darling
both got on base to jumpstart
Kees offense. Junior center
elder Meyer then came up to
the plate and smashed a dou-
ble, batting in both Ellie Coo-
per and Darling to help Kee to
a 3-0 headstart.
In the second inning,
eighth grade third baseman
Kendra Cooper and Meyer
both got on base safely, and
they were batted in when
freshman pitcher Courtney
Cooper came up to the plate
and hit the ball out of the park
for a three-run blast and half
of the Hawks run total in
that frame. Senior catcher El-
lie Heiderscheit was walked
and got home safely from
eighth grade designated hitter
Chloe Severson batting her
in. Senior right elder Jordan
Colsch was also walked to
rst and stole second when
Severson was on third base,
Severson eventually making
it home to help Kee to a 9-0
advantage after just two in-
nings.
Darling plated the last run
of the game for the Hawks
in the third inning, and nei-
ther the Hawks nor the Blue
Devils scored throughout the
rest of the game. At the end
of game two, the Hawks took
the win by mercy rule, 10-0.
Courtney Cooper took the
pitchers mound for game
two, allowing just two hits
and no walks while posting
a total of 10 strike-outs. Dar-
ling, Meyer, Courtney Cooper
and Severson were each two-
for-three at the plate to pace
Kees offense, Courtney Coo-
per blasting that three-run
homer for a majority of her
team-high four RBI and Mey-
er cracking a double to drive
in two Kee runs.
It was great to get the lead
right away in the beginning of
the game, Kee softball coach
Liz Hill said. The hitting was
great against West Central.
vs. Turkey Valley ...
The softball Hawks hosted
a home doubleheader Thurs-
day, June 26 against Turkey
Valley and were able to take
both games while never let-
ting the Trojans put one run
on the board. The score of
the rst game was 7-0, and
the second game ended with
a score of 6-0, both in favor
of Kee.
one, the Hawks pushed three
of their seven runs onto the
scoreboard. The Hawks then
put up one run in the second,
two in the third and their nal
run in the fth inning to help
make up the 7-0 Kee victory.
Freshman Courtney Coo-
per and eighth grader Chloe
Severson each had one
homerun in the rst game of
the night. Courtney Cooper
also had two RBI and Sever-
son had one. Senior Kaylee
Darling and junior Val Meyer
each had one RBI in the rst
game as well. Sophomore El-
lie Cooper, Darling, eighth
grader Kendra Cooper, junior
Molly Walleser and Severson
each scored one run in the
contest, and Courtney Cooper
tallied two runs throughout
the rst game.
Kendra Cooper started on
the mound for the Hawks
in the rst game, and she
pitched the full seven innings.
Cooper gave up four hits, no
walks, no runs and had a total
of ten strike-outs.
Going into the second
game of the night, Kee was
not able to score its runs ear-
ly in the game, but succeeded
in getting six runs - again not
allowing the Trojans to score
any runs throughout the sec-
ond of the two games as well.
Kee put up one run in the fth
inning, and put the other ve
runs up in the sixth inning. At
the end of the second game,
the Hawks won, 6-0.
Eighth grader Kendra
Cooper and junior Val Meyer
were both one-for-three at the
plate, posting one run, one
double and one RBI each. Se-
nior Kaylee Darling was also
one-for-three with one run
scored. Senior Ellie Heider-
scheit was two-for-three at
the plate with two runs and
one RBI, while junior Molly
Walleser was also one-for-
three with two RBIs, as she
smacked her rst homerun of
the season into deep left eld.
Freshman Courtney Coo-
per pitched the second game
for Kee against Turkey Val-
ley. Within seven innings,
Cooper allowed ve hits,
zero runs, one walk and had
12 strike-outs.
These two games were
huge for us, Kee softball
coach Liz Hill said. It is like-
ly that we will see the Trojans
in District play, and it was
important for us to take two
wins.
vs. Norfh Fayette Valley...
The day after defeating
the Trojans, the Hawks were
matched against another sol-
id team from the Upper Iowa
Conference. Friday, June 27,
Kee played host to the Tiger
Hawks of North Fayette Val-
ley and was able to win both
games once again by scores
of 5-4 and 4-1.
one, the Tiger Hawks were
the rst team to bat, and put
up their rst run. Once the
Hawks had their chance to
score, they pushed two runs
back at the Tiger Hawks, and
it was not until the bottom of
the fourth that the host Hawks
scored again. At the end of
the fourth inning, Kee was
ahead, 3-1.
In the top of the fth in-
ning, North Fayette Val-
ley added the remainder of
its runs to the scoreboard,
snatching away the lead at
4-3. But the Hawks crossed
home plate twice when it was
their turn to hit in the bot-
tom of the fth. Neither team
scored after the fth inning,
Kee edging out the visiting
Tiger Hawks by a 5-4 nal
result.
Sophomore Ellie Cooper
and senior Kaylee Darling
each crossed home plate
twice in the contest, and ju-
nior Val Meyer crossed home
plate once. Ellie Cooper, Dar-
ling and eighth grader Kendra
Cooper each went two-for-
three at the plate, with Ellie
Cooper hammering out two
doubles and Darling and Ken-
dra Cooper also each banging
out a double. Darling, Kendra
Cooper and Meyer also each
drove in a run for the Hawks.
Kendra Cooper picked
up the pitching win for the
Hawks, allowing nine hits
and one walk while posting
ve strike-outs. We had a
great rst win, Kee softball
coach Liz Hill stated. This
team has been working hard
for a conference title, and we
have a great shot at it.

An honorable reunion ...
The 2014 Jeff Houg Memorial Baseball Tournament hosted by Waukon High School Saturday, June 28 featured the honoring of a reunion milestone, as members of the Gary
and Marlene Houg family (lined up in the front row of the above photo) gathered with members of the Waukon High School Class of 1989 (lined up in the back row in the above
photo) to commemorate the 25-year reunion of that graduating class, of which Jeff Houg was a member. It was also 25 years ago, the summer following that Class of 1989
graduation, that Jeff Houg tragically lost his life during his senior high school baseball season when he was struck by lightning while on a family river outing on the Mississippi
River. Logan Houg, sixth grade nephew of Jeff Houg and the son of Scott and Brenda Houg of Waukon, threw out a commemorative rst pitch during Saturdays tournament,
with Waukon head baseball coach Jerry Keenan, a classmate and baseball teammate of Jeff Houg, on the receiving end of that pitch and members of the Houg family and the
Class of 1989 out on the eld in support of those efforts. Pictured above, left to right, surrounding the commemorative baseball honoring Jeff Houg that hangs in right eld at the

Hawks got a little bit more
of a cushion once they got
deeper into the game. Neither
team scored until the fourth
inning when Kee put all four
of its runs up in one big burst.
North Fayette Valley put its
one and only run up in the top
of the fth inning, but was
unable to produce anything
more than that on the score-
board, as the host Hawks
took the second game, 4-1, to
complete the sweep.
Kees four runs were from
eighth grader Kendra Coo-
per, junior Val Meyer, senior
Ellie Heiderscheit and eighth
grader Nicki Wood, who was
pinch-running for freshman
Courtney Cooper. Eighth
grader Chloe Severson was
one-for-three at the plate
with Kees lone RBI. Meyer
was also one-for-two with
the bat.
the second game for the
Hawks, giving up four hits
and walking two batters
while recording ve strike-
outs.
Winning games like
this against big teams in the
conference are huge, Kee
softball coach Liz Hill said.
The girls are all working as
a team to get where they want
to be.
Decorah Tournament ...
The Hawks were involved
in the Decorah Tournament
Saturday, June 28 and suc-
ceeded in getting as far as the
weather would allow them to
get. The Hawks faced the St.
Ansgar Saints and won by a
score of 14-0 in three innings
before doing likewise with
Turkey Valley by a score of
13-1. Since the Hawks won
both games, they went into
the championship round
against Osage. In the top of
the fth inning of that cham-
pionship contest, the Hawks
were batting and were up
by three runs, 7-4. However,
the tournament was called
due to a rain storm coming
and the championship game
did not count because it was
not played through the entire
fth inning, leaving the two
teams in a tie for tournament
honors.
In Kees rst game against
the Saints, the Hawks took
a huge lead right away, and
they were able to end the
game early by mercy rule
due to a margin of more than
12 runs within three innings.
Once the game was over, the
Hawks took the win, 14-0.
The Hawks accumulat-
ed 17 hits while limiting St.
Ansgar to just one hit. Soph-
omore Ellie Cooper, senior
Kaylee Darling, and juniors
Val Meyer and Molly Walles-
er each had two runs through-
out the game, with eighth
grader Kendra Cooper, fresh-
man Courtney Cooper, se-
niors Ellie Heiderscheit and
Jordan Colsch, and eighth
grader Chloe Severson each
crossing home once.
Kendra Cooper pitched
against the Saints, allowing
one hit and no walks, along
with four strike-outs.
For the third time in the
week, the Hawks were faced
against the Turkey Valley
Trojans, this time in the sec-
ond round of the Decorah
Tournament. Kee was able to
beat the Trojans once again,
doing so in decisive fashion,
13-1 in three innings.
The Trojans were the rst
to score, and they were only
able to put up one run in the
rst inning. The Hawks did
all of their scoring in the sec-
ond and third innings of the
match. In the second inning,
there were ve runs tallied
and in the third, there were
eight more to secure the 13-1
victory.
The Hawks had a total of
16 hits within three innings.
Eighth grade pinch-runner
Nicki Wood ran for freshman
Courtney Cooper, and she
was able to cross home three
times. Senior Ellie Heider-
scheit was three-for-three in
the game with a double and
two RBI. Junior Val Meyer
drove in a team-high three
runs with a double and single
in three at-bats, with sopho-
more Ellie Cooper and junior
Molly Walleser also each
driving in two Kee runs.

ending in the fth frame,
loading the bases on con-
secutive singles from junior
center elder Jake Ronan and
sophomore third baseman
Chris Miller followed by a
two-out walk drawn by se-
nior shortstop Parker Hesse,
but the nal Indian batter was
retired on strikes to seal the
11-1 Indian defeat.
Junior Adam Benzing suf-
fered the pitching loss, allow-
ing ve walks and two hits

of mound work. Senior Tyler
Benzing came on in relief for
one-third of an inning, allow-
ing ve hits and one hit bats-
man while also striking out
one batter. Hesse nished out
the games nal two frames,
giving up no hits but three
walks while also striking out

Generous donation raised by grateful patient ...
Last summer, the life of John Belthuis of Waterloo was saved by Veterans Memorial
Hospitals Community Cardiac Arrest Specialty Team (CCAST) after he suddenly col-
lapsed due to cardiac arrest while visiting the Harley-Davidson dealership in Waukon.
In gratitude, Belthuis, with the help of friends and family, coordinated a motorcycle
ride in Waterloo to raise funds for the Veterans Memorial Hospital ambulance service.
Pictured in middle is Belthuis presenting a check for the over $4,000 raised at the June
7th event, to Veterans Memorial Hospital ER staff members Jeff Mitchell, EMT-P, EMS
Coordinator, and Diane Butikofer, RN, ER Supervisor.
Just two years ago, the Veterans Memorial Hospital EMS Department implemented
the new Community Cardiac Arrest Specialty Team (CCAST) program which responds
to the scene of a cardiac arrest. Once the EMS and CCAST team arrives, the cardiac
arrest is handled slightly different than in the past. Instead of quickly loading the patient
and transporting to an Emergency Department, the team provides all initial care on
scene. Each CCAST team member has a designated task which includes compres-
sions, managing the airway, providing electrical therapy as needed and administering
medication as directed. This program has been utilized in the past two years and cur-
rently has a good success rate.
Blood donation can make a difference
Did you know how much
blood is needed by certain
patients? Here are some facts
from the LifeServe Blood
Center.
Cancer patients can use
up to eight units of blood a
month.
Bone marrow transplant
patients can use up to two
units a day.
Cardiovascular surgery
patients can use from two to
25 units.
Liver transplant patients
can use up to 100 units.
Automobile accident/
trauma patients can use from
ve to 100 units.
Premature infants can
use up to 1-4 units.
Burn victims can use up
to 20 units of platelets.
Heart surgery patients
can use up to 3-8 units of red
cells and 1-10 units of plate-
lets.
Organ transplant patients
can use 10-30 units of blood.
The next LifeServe Blood
Center blood drive will be
held Thursday, July 3 from
12:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Al-
lamakee Farm Bureau Build-
ing in Waukon.
Regular blood donors
may donate blood as often
as every 56 days. First-time
donors will nd that donat-
ing blood is a safe and easy
way to save lives and make a
difference in the community.
A single blood donation can
save the lives of up to three
sick or injured hospital pa-
tients.
The donation process is
simple:
1. Eat a healthy meal and
drink plenty of uids within
four hours prior to donating.
2. Bring proper identica-
tion, such as a donor card or
a drivers license.
3. Complete a health histo-
ry questionnaire and screen-
ing interview.
4. Receive a brief health
check by trained staff. This
includes a check of blood
pressure, pulse, temperature
and blood iron levels.
5. Sit back while a unit
of blood, approximately one
pint, is collected. This pro-
cess takes around 10 minutes.
6. Enjoy refreshments
while relaxing for 10-15
minutes before leaving the
facility.
The blood that is collected
is tested carefully. In fact,
all blood that is collected by
any blood collection center
is tested according to federal
regulations.
Appointments are encour-
aged and walk-ins can only
be accepted as the schedule
permits. To schedule an ap-
pointment, call the LifeServe
Blood Center at 800-287-
4903.
Simple precautions reduce
risk of food-borne illness
Warm weather means
more outdoor activities, in-
cluding picnics and cookouts.
Every year, Iowa sees an in-
crease in food-borne diseases
during the summer. The Iowa
Department of Public Health
(IDPH) reminds Iowans that
a few simple precautions can
reduce the risk of food-borne
illness.
Basically, preventing
food-borne illness comes
down to four simple rules:
cooking food thoroughly,
keeping cold food cold, hot
food hot, and keeping your
hands clean, said IDPH
Medical Director, Dr. Patri-
cia Quinlisk. Always remem-
ber to:
Cook meat thoroughly.
Use a meat thermometer to
measure the internal tem-
perature of meat and poultry.
Cook hamburger, pork and
beef to 160 degrees F and
poultry to 165 degrees F. If a
thermometer is not available,
cook meat (especially ground
meats) until no pink remains
and all juices run clear.
Wash your hands with
soap and water before pre-
paring food. Dont prepare
food for others if you have
diarrhea.
Avoid cross-contami-
nation by always washing
hands, utensils and cutting
boards immediately after
theyve been in contact with
raw meat or poultry, and be-
fore they touch other food.
Use one platter for cooked
meat and another for raw
meat.
Keep meat refrigerated
when marinating. Do not use
the sauce you used to mari-
nate raw meat or poultry on
cooked food.
Clean your grill between
each use.
Refrigerate or freeze left-
overs promptly. Dont keep
foods that need refrigeration
on a serving or picnic table
longer than two hours (or
one hour if the temperature is
above 90 degrees F).
Pack your cooler with 75
percent food and 25 percent
ice or cold packs. A cooler
that is packed full stays cold-
er longer.
For more information, in-
cluding recommended cook-
ing temperatures for other
meats and seafood, visit
www.foodsafety.gov. For
more information locally,
call the dietitians at Veterans
Memorial Hospital at 563-
568-3411.

Ultimately, there are only two basic motives which animate us, kindness or cruelty. On the side of kindness is everything that unites and uplifts us: the kind or encouraging word, the
helping or healing hand, the invitation to join the group and to be a part of the great family of God. On the side of cruelty is everything that divides and debases: the mean or cutting
remark, the discouraging word, the clenched st and the hand which pushes away, the barrier to inclusion which says you arent welcome here. There is love and there is strife. Love
unites; strife divides. Love is kind; strife is cruel. There is no third option here. You cannot be indifferent to the choice between kindness and cruelty. We should pray that we steadfastly
choose to be on the side of kindness.- Christopher Simon I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow
creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. William Penn

Letters to the Editor Policy
The Standard welcomes letters to the editor, as long as they are in good
taste and not libelous. Letters must be signed and the name of the letter writer
will be published. A telephone number is also required so that The Standard
may check authenticity.
The Standard reserves the right to edit or shorten any letter. Letters
should deal with issues, not specific individuals and businesses even though
issues may arise from a specific instance with an individual or business. The
Standard does reserve the right to hold any letter it considers to be libelous
or in bad taste. The Standard also reserves the right not to publish any letter
exceeding 600 words in length (approximately one single-spaced typewritten
page).
Letters should be the original work of the author and not copied from other
sources. Any letter that includes a quotation must also include specific and
accurate attribution to the original source.
The Standard neither vouches for the accuracy of the information offered in
letters to the editor, nor implies agreement or disagreement with the opinions
set forth in those letters. The Standards assumption is that any factual errors
or statements contrary to facts offer other letter writers the opportunity to
have equal say in their own letter to the editor.
The Standard will not publish letters to the editor regarding an issue that
will be coming up for vote during the week prior to the vote.
The Standard will not publish consecutively multiple letters written by one
individual; one week must pass between letters to provide adequate response
time. The Standard reserves the right to deny letters, written by one individual
and pertaining to one issue, beyond three submitted letters.
Political letters: The Standard does not publish letters to the editor which
are critical of individual candidates nor letters in support of individual candi-
dates. It is the newspapers position that those views are best expressed in
paid advertisements, okayed or approved by the candidate or the candidates
registered supporters.
In addition, such letters frequently lead to an exchange of letters ad infini-
tum, which is helpful to no one, including the candidates. The Standard does
welcome letters which express views on issues of the campaign, but which
neither advocate nor denigrate individual candidates.

The
Letter to the Editor
... that it would be funny if
it wasnt so serious.
Ideas brought forth by
politicians from far opposite
ends of the spectrum a few
years ago, widely dismissed
by the smart people then,
are now back in the discus-
sion about the Middle East.
Right wing commenta-
tor Glenn Beck, then much
more popular than now, had
been saying it was the goal
of radical Islam to establish
the predicted caliphate. That
would be the situation in
which Moslems would rule
the world.
Joe Biden, Democrat, the
vice-president, perhaps more
famous for his many gaffes
than for his foreign policy
wisdom, suggested dividing
Iraq into its three natural
divisions, based on where
people lived. There would be
the separate state of Kurd-
istan in the north, the Sunni
nation in the middle, and the
Shiites in the south.
The experts noted
Bidens idea was doomed
because, while the Kurds
would be happy, and the Shi-
ites would still control the oil
resources, the Sunnis would
essentially have nothing.
Beck was accused of
dredging up an ancient, long-
forgotten idea to foment dis-
trust of U.S. actions in the
region.
Now, I understand, even
such organizations as The
New York Times are suggest-
ing perhaps the division of
Iraq into three parts might be
the only way to calm things
down. Shades of Shake-
speares start to Julius Cae-
sar: All of Iraq was divided
into three parts.
Many centuries older than
Shakespeare, to a time 13
centuries removed from to-
day, lies the start of the con-
flict between the Sunnis and
the Shiites. Again, giving
credit to the phrase from the
oaters of this nations more
benign motion picture past,
about the cowboys and Indi-
ans, they still hate each other
from the last movie.
Beck must have a smug
smile over the current use of
the phrase ISIS, which stands
for the Islamic State of Iraq
And then I wrote ...
by Dick Schilling, Editor Emeritus
Express appreciation to dairy producers
and Syria. That would be the
caliphate, the United States
of Islam, if you will.
Some in the main stream
media and the president sub-
stitute ISIL, with the L
standing for the Levant, gen-
erally the area from Iraq to
Jordan, and including Isra-
el(!), as once was commonly
used. That would restrict the
Islamic control to that area
only. But thats enough for
most people.
When is either of those
ideas supposed to happen?
Who knows? Maybe never.
Its a fluid situation.
But somebody checked
a calendar and noted that
Ramadan begins (for you,
began) Saturday, June 28
at noon. Thats the Islamic
month of fasting and absti-
nence. Are hungry, deprived
people more likely to behave
rashly?
Meanwhile, theres soccer,
world-wide.

Word for Word
In February, I featured
here Mario Casella, a Cali-
fornian ghting the ultimate
battle against liver disease,
which he had because of
poor lifestyle choices years
ago, and multiple chemical
sensitivity, which involved
an acute sensitivity to every-
day chemicals.
His body was wasting
away, he said. Due to be-
ing physically sensitive to
chemicals in products like
household cleaners, cologne,
and bleach, Mario had been
sleeping outside in an envi-
ronmentally safe community
in Texas, near the homes of
others facing chemical sensi-
tivity challenges.
After his column pub-
lished, I received an urgent
email from a reader saying
Mario was missing and fear-
ing for his life. I emailed
Mario, urging him to imme-
diately nd a hospital emer-
gency room. On my Face-
book page, I asked readers
to pray.
I feared he passed away.
He was only 39.
Out of the blue recently,
he emailed an update, say-
ing, Daniel, I was in the
hospital and almost died. I
had hypothermia and was
malnourished, weighing just
96 pounds. I am 6 tall. I
cant explain what happened
other than it was a miracle,
but somehow I improved af-
ter being in ICU three days
and Dallas Regional (hospi-
tal) two weeks.
At other times, Marios
health had worsened in hos-
Disabilities
by Daniel J. Vance, MS, LPC, NCC
pitals due to his acute reac-
tions to hospital cleaning
chemicals - but not this one
time.
He continued, I was
jaundiced and had edema in
my ankles and hands, and
my liver enzymes at rst
were way high. They ended
up saying my liver was ne.
And I cant explain how my
(chemical) sensitivities went
down so much so fast other
than there was a lot of prayer
I would make it through.
After leaving the Texas
hospital, Mario returned to
California only to learn his
daughter Ashley had expe-
rienced an aneurysm with
a one percent survival rate.
Shes alive today too, using
a wheelchair and improving.
He said, God is real is all
I can say. When rst arriving
at (the Dallas hospital), I was
very sensitive (to chemicals)
still. But after going to bed
in an isolation room there, I
awoke with my sensitivities
greatly reduced. From that
day forward, my sensitivities
have been returning little by
little.
Lately, Mario has been
sleeping outside again to
protect his fragile health. He
only recently began receiving
federal disability payments.
To view photos of Mario be-
fore and after hospital, and
alongside his daughter, visit

Letter to the Editor
Appreciation for poppy support
To the Editor:
As June winds down, let us
all give a salute to our Dairy
Farmers here in Allamakee
County that keep producing
great dairy products, for all of
us, that are fresh and reason-
ably priced. We are so lucky
here in Allamakee County
and in all of the state of Iowa,
to have the availability of so
many fresh dairy products all
year round. Whether we are
craving ice cream, yogurt,
sherbert, cheese, milk etc., it
is right there on our grocery
shelf.
So, when out and about in
our local communities, take
a moment to express your
appreciation to anyone that
helps in the production of
dairy.
We are grateful, dairy men
and dairy women, please
keep up the great job!
Kathy Kruse

To the Editor:
The American Legion
Auxiliary appreciates the
wonderful support and gener-
osity of the Waukon business
people.
The monies received from
poppy sales will be used to
aid veterans and their fami-
lies only. The unit sends
birthday and holiday cards to
those in local nursing homes.
We distribute gas cards and
food cards to help veterans.
We send a donation to the
Wounded Veterans Associa-
tion every year. This once-a-
year collection also provides
the money for scholarships
given to graduating seniors.
The Auxiliary also appre-
ciates the efforts of all of the
ladies who worked during the
Friday distribution and the
Boy Scouts who helped out
Saturday morning.
The Auxiliary is grateful
to the community for its con-
tinuing support.
Sincerely,
American Legion Auxiliary
Poppy Committee 2014
One of our
messages on the
sign here at Zal-
mona this week
was Life is a puz-
zle. Look to God
to nd the miss-
ing peace. There
is so much truth
to that statement
in todays world.
We seem so busy
in life these days
it IS hard to nd
peace in our lives
or peace in our
hearts. The 4th of July is a
holiday where many people
do enjoy some time off with
family and friends. So, try to
enjoy the day and/or evening
and as you watch and hear
the loud reworks that night,
look for some peace in your
life as well.
Speaking of puzzles, I was
given this puzzle recently. It
is not easy and I am not sure
how to get the answers to you
so, Good luck. Maybe you
will have to call the neigh-
bors in to help you, which
may not be a bad idea to start
with, for we dont seem to do
that as much as we used to.
They might also help give us
peace of mind when they
help us solve the puzzle

I once made a remark
about the hidden books of the
Bible. It was a lulu, kept peo-
ple looking so hard for facts,
and for others it was a rev-
elation. Some were in a jam,
especially since the names of
the books are not
capitalized, but the
truth nally struck
home to numbers
of readers. To oth-
ers, it was a real
job. We want it to
be a most fascinat-
ing few moments
for you. Yes, there
will be some re-
ally easy ones to
spot. Others may
require judges to
help them. I will
quickly admit it
takes a minister to nd one of
the 17, and there will be loud
lamentations when it is found.
A little lady says she brews a
cup of tea so she can concen-
trate better. See how many
you complete. Relax now, for
there really are names of 17
books of the Bible in these
sentences.
I will admit that as I write
this I have found only 16
books of the Bible. Thus,
if you nd 16 you will have
done very well but if you do
nd the 17th, go ahead and
brag a little bit.
Just so you dont get too
serious about this, here is a
joke to lighten things up a
little Ole got a job in the
fertilizer factory. The boss
tried to determine the extent
of Oles abilities. Tell me,
do you know anything about
nitrates? Answered Ole, All
I know is dey are cheaper dan
da day rates.
God Bless,
Pastor Tom Buresh

Des Moines, June 27, (AP)
State Treasurer W.G.C.
Bagley reported today 1939
gasoline tax collections to
June 4 totaled $7,593,421,
exceeding those for the entire
six-month period any previ-
ous year. The 3-cent-a-gallon
tax yielded $6,973,421 dur-
ing the rst six months of
1938, and $15,504,247 dur-
ing the entire year, the previ-
ous high point in the history
of the Iowa gasoline tax.
Des Moines, June 27, (AP)
The Iowa Liquor Control
commission today announced
transfer of $400,000 more
of its earnings to the state
general fund. The commis-
sion so far has contributed
$2,500,000 in liquor store
prots to the general fund
during the scal year ending
next Friday, ofcials said.
This sum, they said, is the
largest ever transferred to the
state during any one year.

Speeders Had Best Beware
After giving published
notice in the local papers re-
cently for speeding car driv-
ers to comply with the law
regarding speed within the
city limits, one or two have
been brought into the mayors
court as violators. Because of
the fact that one of them was
a youth Mayor Dotseth with-
held imposing the penalty
that he deserved, but he was
let off with a stiff reprimand
and a warning that his next
offense would result in a $25
ne.
There are still noted to be
constant violations and those
indulging in the speeding are
being listed, it is said, and
will be jerked to judgment
with out further ado for the
offense, which will not be
overlooked because of bra-
zenly ignoring the published
warning to refrain from
speeding.
