Waukon High School graduate Debbie

(Buege) Harris "surthrives" television debut
on Discovery Channel's "Naked and Afraid"
Dictionary.com
defines
endurance as "the ability or
strength to continue or last,
especially despite fatigue,
stress, or other adverse conditions; stamina.
Debbie (Buege) Harris
epitomizes the term endurance. A recent participant in
the Discovery Channels Emmy-nominated series, Naked
and Afraid, Harris endured
21 days in a tropical jungle
with a total stranger. The
shows challenge is to see if
the two strangers, one man
and one woman, can survive
naked for 21days with almost
nothing to protect them from
the elements of a challenging
environment.
Harris and her partner, Bo
Stuart from Virginia were
dropped in the remote wetlands of Guyana in South
America. Although the title
of the show is Naked and
Afraid, both Harris and
her co-participant, a former
Green Beret who had been
trained in jungle survival,
proved that "being afraid"
doesnt enter into successful
survival skills. Teamwork and
the ability to face challenges
confidently make the difference.
What inspires a person to
make such a commitment to
leaving his/her family for
three weeks so that they can
endure bugs, dangerous reptiles, blistering sun, drenching rains and starvation
without even the protection
of clothing? What type of
person can endure and learn
from that type of experience?
Harris (the former Debbie
Buege) is a 2001 graduate
of Waukon High School and
grew up on a farm between
Lansing and Waukon. Harris said she was a timid high
school student who spent
most hours out of school
working as a CNA at a local
nursing home.
My parents raised us to
be independent, hard work-
Waukon Corn Days
ers," Harris said. "We helped

at my parents bait shop. I
spent a lot of time outdoors
on my parents farm and grew
to love nature. In my twenties, I started gaining more
self-confidence. My mom
encouraged me to pursue
a nursing career. I went to
NICC and have found nursing
to be a good fit for me, but I
find myself seeking new challenges. I work with an elderly
population and want to do as
much as I possibly can while
I am still physically able. If I
can learn from an experience,
I want to try it. Ive done marathons and triathlons. Someday, I hope to run a 100-mile
race.
"My husband and my three
children were very supportive of my trying out for this
show," she continued. "As a
family, we enjoy honing primitive camping skills. Weve
even taken a few survival
skills courses. Its a powerful
feeling to make fire when all
we have are sticks. I want my
children to know that power
and to have that confidence as
well. If I can motivate others
to be positive about challenging themselves, then Im willing to try it."
In addition to the challenge
of survival in a remote location, Harris also had to overcome what she considered to
be the greatest challenge of
the entire experience.
The biggest obstacle to
me was the being naked part,"
she explained. "I dont like
being naked in a locker room,
but after we watched the
show several times I realized
the naked part was just about
being vulnerable without any
protection and it didnt really
have anything to do with being sexy. Its just that being
naked is such a taboo in our
society. My partner, Bo, was
more at ease with it. When
we first were dropped in the
middle of the jungle swamp,
he gave me a very awkward
naked hug, but it was just
a fact of life that we had to
adjust to. He later helped me
fashion some coverings so I
felt a little more comfortable
about it."
Harris started her process
of participating in the show
by submitting an online application but didnt think it
would go any further. Then
the phone interviews began.
The interviews were long and
very detailed exploring her
skills, personality and background.
Eventually, she was flown
to California for a medical
evaluation. A survival skills
expert evaluated her survival
skills. She underwent psychological evaluations and
finally met the producers.
She never encountered any
other contestants because the
shows producers want the
participants to be strangers.
Next she was asked questions
in front of a camera.
Finally they asked, Can
you leave next week? They
dont want to give the contestants too much time to prepare. The show was actually
taped during late November,
2014. I spent Thanksgiving
eating grubs, she laughs.
During the week ahead of
time, she knew what country
she would be in: Guyana, on
the northern coast of South
America, close to Venezuela.
Contestants have been
dropped into a variety of
terrains, including mountains. She immediately began researching the region.
She learned that there were
many diverse ecosystems
in the area. I wanted to be
knowledgeable enough about
the plants and animals that I
didnt eat something poisonous or kill something that was
a protected species, like the
black caiman alligator. We
did end up killing a caiman

for food, but it was not one
of the protected ones, Harris
shared.
Visitors to Debbie Harris
public Facebook page will
find numerous comments
from show viewers praising
her and Stuarts teamwork
and resiliency. One Facebooker commented: I have
watched this series since its
inception I have never seen
a team come together as a
unit as you and Bo did and
in a short period of time. You
both didnt just lay around
and look miserable as many
do but were super proactive in shelter and procuring
food Unlike others on the
show, you quickly adjusted to
your partners temperament
and meshed in a cooperative
way.
Another local fan of the
show said, They were awesome. They were the best
ones on the show so far. They
worked together and really showed what two people
can accomplish when they
cooperate. Some of those
contestants just whine and
complain; they didnt. They
just figured out a way to survive. Their episode is called
Surthrive.
Harris stated that contestants can tap out at any
time, meaning they can quit.
That usually happens when
egos get in the way and the
participants cant figure out
how to work as a team. She
explained, The thought
(of tapping out) did cross
my mind, especially when I
missed my family or when the
hunger was so bad. I would
dream of doughnuts, cake. I
dreamed that I was eating all
night. Then Id wake up and
be starving. I realized that I
was just rationalizing, making excuses. In life, in work,
we cant make excuses. Id
think about all the people in
the world who struggle on
a daily basis to survive. We
had to stay strong and focus on goals, so that is what
I would do. Bo and I would
talk about our families; wed
share stories. We learned a
lot about each other. Bo has a
great sense of humor, so that
helped.
Wed problem solve
about how to survive: how
to find food to eat, water to
drink; how to keep the fire
going; how to create a shelter.
We had to learn to work as a
team. We each brought skills
to the experience. We had to
have each others back. We
had to know we were committed to support each other. His Green Beret survival
training helped out, but if he
started to push himself too
hard, my nursing background
would kick in and Id remind
him to slow it down and hydrate. Nursing helped me to
be aware of what my body
was going through. There
were physicians on call who
could respond within 15 minutes if something disastrous
happened, but my nursing
skills made us comfortable
about being able to handle
most situations. Also, Im
a very organized person, so
keeping our campsite organized helped my stress level
and attitude.
The biggest physical
challenges were being cold
and wet. It rained a lot of the
time, and it would get cold at
night so it was tough trying
to stay warm. Even with our
basic shelter and our fire, we
were always wet, cold and
itchy. In addition to the cold
and wet, there was always the
hunger; we ate grubs, some
berries; we eventually killed
a caiman, but we were always
hungry. For me personally,
a tough physical challenge
was that I didnt have time to
toughen the bottoms of my
feet."
Harris said that the camera
crew with about four people
would show up daily to shoot
about eight hours of footage
during the daylight. The crew
would follow them around as
they foraged for food, traveled, or made shelter and
weapons. In addition, there
were cameras that were on
24/7 set up in several areas
around the campsite. There
was also a diary camera
which the participants could
turn off and on so that they
could record their thoughts.
From all that footage came a
one-hour episode.
Harris had not seen any
of the footage until the episode aired July 19. Her family, co-workers and friends
gathered together to watch at
a viewing party. We asked
people who came to make donations to a local food bank,"
Harris said, noting that she
has an increased empathy for
those who are hungry. I was
pleased with the teamwork
and how the episode really
showed that we survived because we communicated and
respected each other.
Bo and I talked a lot when
we first got back. Now we
mostly stay in touch through
Facebook. Hes a busy family man with two kids in high
school and I keep very busy
with my family and work
as well. Im glad that Ive
gained a new life-long friend
from this experience.
The best part of the experience is that I leaned a ton
of things. I got through it; I
stayed positive. I gained confidence and strength. I am so
thankful that I had the experience and now I appreciate
so much more, especially the
little things like having a cup

Supervisors hold
regular meeting
by Bob Beach
During public comment
time at the regular meeting of
the Allamakee County Board
of Supervisors Monday, August 17, Boy Scout Tyler
O'Neill asked for and received
the Board's permission to install a box for worn American Flags at the courthouse.
O'Neill said the Scouts would
check the box frequently and
collect the flags for proper flag
retirement ceremonies.
Also during public comment time, Bob Rotach told
the Board that he is concerned
about loose gravel being used
as part of seal-coating cracks
in pavement because of the
danger it poses to motorcyclists. He said that at posting
signs warning of the danger would be a big help. The
Board agreed to speak with
the County Engineer about
the matter.
During regular business, attorney Chuck Kelly, representing Ron Duvell, told the Board
that the Bruening Rock quarry
adjacent to Duvell's property
has been expanded without a
permit to do so. Zoning Administrator Tom Blake said
his repeated efforts to contact
Bruening have failed and he
suggested that the next step

would be to send a "cease and
desist" order to halt operations
at the quarry. Chairman Larry
Schellhammer said that he
would be comfortable calling
Bruening to discuss the matter. "I'd sooner engage them in
conversation before issuing a
citation," he said.
The Board also held a public hearing regarding an ordinance to establish a policy
for the construction and reconstruction of roadways and
bridges. County Engineer Brian Ridenour said that the ordinance merely formalizes the
policies currently in place and
that the ordinance is required
for FEMA-funded projects.
Hearing no comments from
the public, the Board closed
the public hearing and then
approved the first reading of
the ordinance, waived the
second and third readings and
passed the ordinance.
In other business, the Board
approved hiring Glen Jevne as
a full-time dispatcher/jailer
for the Sheriff's Department.
The Board also approved the
final plans to widen and pave
the shoulders north of Harpers
Ferry to Wexford as part of the
Mississippi River Trail (MRT)
project.
better learn how to help and

motivate others. The first step
to accomplishing anything is
to believe.
On Harris Facebook page,
a quote from an unknown
author proclaims, Sometimes you find yourself in
the middle of nowhere, and
sometimes in the middle of
nowhere, you find yourself.
Harris journey of self-exploration took one more step
after successfully completing
her Naked and Afraid experience. It didnt change her
but she said it certainly solid-
ified her positive outlook, her

confidence and her enthusiastic approach to living which
can inspire many to throw
away their self-imposed limitations.

Supervisors hear update from Planning

and Zoning Commission in regard to frac
sand mining regulations and ordinances
by Bob Beach
Mississippi Madness

DE SOTO COMMUNITY CENTER
Hwy. 35, De Soto, WI
During
the
regular
meeting of the Allamakee
County Board of Supervisors
Monday,
August
26,
Allamakee County Planning
and Zoning Administrator
Tom Blake updated the
Board on the Planning
and Zoning Commission's
progress with developing
appropriate ordinances and
regulations for frac sand
mining operations. Blake
said that the Commission has
scheduled six public forums
(see schedule in shaded box
below), one of which has
already been held, to receive
public input on the various
aspects of the issue, such
as air quality/quantity, road
wear, dust, economic impact,
etc.
Blake said that the
Commission
is
also
examining ordinances from
other jurisdictions and is
compiling information in
order to draft recommended
ordinances and possibly an
addendum to the County
Comprehensive Plan. The
Commission's goal, he said,
is to draft regulations that are
not "overly burdensome" but
will protect the public. He
added that the Commission
is on track to complete its
work on the issue within
the 18-month moratorium
period, but that extending
the moratorium remains an
option if the process can't be
completed within that time.
The Board then turned its
attention to Makee Manor,
having learned last week
that the renovations to the
facility for use as a jail or
for another purpose for
which it was not designed
would
be
prohibitively
expensive. Chairman Larry
Schellhammer said that
the cost of maintaining the
facility as it sits empty would

that the Board welcomes
public input with regard to
the future use of the building,
adding that the Board "would
love to see it reopened and
employ people." After some
discussion, the Board voted
to direct Allamakee County
Attorney Jill Kistler to start
the process to put the building
up for sale.
The Board met with
Allamakee County Engineer
Brian Ridenour, who reported
that he had spoken with the
County Attorney about how
to resolve last week's bidding
tie between Fauser Energy
Resources and Postville
Farmers Coop to provide
LP gas for several County
departments. He said that
Kistler had advised him that
the Board could resolve the
tie in any way it choses, but
recommended that the Board
follow the Iowa Department of
Transportation policy, which
is to award the contract to the
bidder that was awarded the
contract in the previous year,
which in this case was Fauser.
Chairman
Schellhammer
and Supervisor Sherry Strub
voted to follow Ridenour's
recommendation and award
the contract to Fauser.
The Allamakee County Planning and Zoning Commission is holding a series of public forums to encourage and
facilitate citizen input regarding industrial sand mining and
its related impacts. The forums will include presentations

year's honorees are Kermit
and Ann Klees for Allamakee
County.
Kermit was a member of
the Jefferson Blacktoppers
4-H Club. While growing
up, he showed sheep at the
county fair. Kermits fondest
memory of the county fair is
that he almost won the Sheep
Showmanship Class.
Ann was not involved with
4-H as a youth, but sees the
importance of the 4-H program. She initially got involved in 4-H to help the
youth with their horses. Ann
has many fond memories of
the youth, teaching them the
horse basics and having fun.
The Kleeses have been
long-time supporters of the

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

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

The Board also met
with Allamakee County

look into other possible
funding sources to pay for the
necessary repairs.

Opportunity for rural Iowa

communities concerned
with abandoned buildings
Starting August 10, small
Iowa communities (populations of 5,000 or less) can
now apply for funding to
perform asbestos inspections
on neglected buildings in a
special round of one-time
funding from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' (DNRs) Derelict Building
Grant Program.
One area of focus for the
Derelict Building Grant Program is asbestos inspection
and removal. If a building
collapses and the presence of
asbestos is unknown, it can
increase the economic burden
on the community. This round
of funding may be used by eligible communities to investigate the amount of asbestos
present in a building.
The Derelict Building
Grant Program provides
small communities and rural
counties financial assistance

for abandoned commercial
and public structures to improve the appearance of their
streets, revitalize local economies and alleviate the environmental concerns these
buildings can pose. This program is a one-time opportunity; projects selected may
apply for funding in 2016 for
additional program-related
tasks.
For more information
and application details, go
to www.iowadnr.gov/Environment/LandStewardship/
WasteManagement/BusinessIndustry/DerelictBuildingProgram.aspx or contact

Iowa Bicycle Map now

available in print, online
The Iowa Department of
Transportation is now distributing the 2015-2016 Iowa Bicycle Map.
This publication has been
updated to show new fourfoot or wider paved shoulders and recreational trails
completed since the 2012
version was published. As in
past versions, the map highlights bike-friendly routes
when traveling on two wheels
through Iowa by identifying
bike trails and traffic levels
on all paved roads. The map
also includes insets of Iowa's
16 largest cities.
A person riding a bicycle on a public road has all
the rights, and is required to
know and obey all traffic laws
and rules of the road, applicable to the driver of a motor

vehicle. To assist bicyclists
in understanding their rights
and responsibilities, a section of the map is dedicated
to highlighting rules of the
road for bicyclists. Bicyclists
are urged to wear helmets,
use lights at night, and watch
out for road hazards, including parallel-slat sewer grates,
gravel, sand and debris.

It was December 23 this

past year when Piper received
her diagnosis following a
well baby check-up for her
younger sister, Emily. Piper's
mom, Jessica, asked the pediatrician to look at Piper because she hadn't been feeling
the best and had developed a
rash. By the end of the day
Piper had been diagnosed
with pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and

received her first chemotherapy treatment that same night.

Active treatment for ALL
consists of six phases and
lasts approximately two and
a half years. Prior to each
treatment at the hospital, Piper has blood drawn to ensure
that key blood components
are within acceptable levels.
If they are not within the acceptable level, treatment is
delayed and a blood transfusion may be done. In addition
to the treatment given at the
hospital, there are a series of
medications given at home.
Infections and fevers are
two things Piper's parents
constantly monitor. If Piper
has a fever of 101 or higher,
she is immediately admitted
into the hospital for at least
three days. In May, Piper
spent three weeks in the hospital because of infections.
Piper is currently undergoing the fifth of six rounds of
chemotherapy treatment that
will finish up just three days
after her birthday. Her final
treatment is scheduled for
February 24, 2017, and she
will then be monitored for
the next five years. Children
with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a 90% survival rate.

Routinely checking
tire pressure and inating underinated tires
is one way drivers can
reduce their risk of at
tires and blowouts.
Few drivers will be
fortunate enough to go
their entire driving lives
without encountering at
least one at tire. Flat
tires range from the inconvenient ats, which
may interrupt a road
trip or make drivers late
for work or an appointment, to more dangerous blowouts, which
can compromise the
safety of drivers, their
passengers and anyone else on the road
when the tire gives out.
But as inconvenient
or dangerous as ats or
blowouts can be, they
also can be prevented
more often than not.
Tires often produce
warning signs that a
at or blowout is about
to emerge, so drivers
who want to avoid such
unfortunate developments can inspect their
tires for the following
signs.
Varying wear:
Tires should exhibit the
same type of wear. The
wear on front tires and
back tires may differ,

but one front tire should
have the same amount
of wear as the other
and the same goes for
the back tires. Uneven
tread on tires indicates
that the tire with more
wear could be about to
go out.
manufacturer or visiting
their website. An underinated tire is under
stress that can cause
the tire to blowout. In
addition, poorly inated
tires force engines to
work harder, which
negatively affects a
cars fuel efciency.
Worn tread: Even

drivers who know little
about cars can typically recognize when tire
tread has worn down
to the point where the
tire is a safety risk. But
drivers who are unsure
can employ the quarter
test. Insert a quarter
into the tread of the tire,
with George Washingtons head upright. If
you can see the hairline
of the United States
rst president, then you
need to replace the tire.
Perform this test on
each of your vehicles
four tires.
Vibration: A car
that vibrates excessively may do so because tires are damaged. Poor suspension
is another cause of
excessive
vibration.
Whatever is behind a
car that is vibrating,
drivers should immediately take the car to
their mechanic for an
inspection.
Low pressure:
Drivers who do not
routinely check their
tire pressure are more
likely to endure a at
or blowout than those
who regularly make
sure their tires are at
the manufacturer-recommended pressure,
which can be found in
a vehicle owners manual or by calling the tire
Physical damage
to the tire: Sometimes
tires exhibit physical
damage like bulges or
cuts, and such signs
could mean a at tire or
blowout is just around
the corner. Tires that
exhibit such physical
damage need to be replaced immediately.
Flat tires and blowouts can prove both
scary and inconvenient. Drivers who want
to avoid such problems
should routinely inspect
their tires for indicators
that a at or blowout is
likely to occur.

Why a clean air lter is

important in your vehicle
courtesy metro
creative editorial
Motorists
routinely check their tires for
proper ination, top off
engine uid levels and
maintain oil change
schedules. But some
drivers do not understand the importance
of keeping engine air
lters clean.
Engine air lters are
a relatively inexpensive
vehicle part, but they
perform a very important job. For every gallon of gas a car burns,
it uses the equivalent
of 12,000 gallons of air,
and that air must be ltered to help keep an
engine clean.
Air lters catch all
of the dust, grime, insects, sap, leaves, and
any other debris that
may get sucked up past
the air intake of the vehicles grill and into the
engine itself. Without

the air lter, those contaminants may compromise the engine,
causing corrosion and
abrasion. If the air lter
in the engine becomes
too dirty and is not
changed regularly, the
engine is starved of air.
Clean air lters allow just the right ratio
of air to fuel to enable
the engine to function
properly. Engines need
adequate air for the
combustion
process
to take place. Without
the proper combustion
levels, vehicles cannot
perform properly or efciently and the engine
may burn more gas or
get fewer miles to the
gallon. A dirty lter also
can rob an engine of
power. Drivers may notice sluggish acceleration.
Air lters also can get
so dirty that the engine

stalls completely. But
such a problem only
develops after considerable neglect.
Air lters may not
need to be replaced
at each and every oil
change service call.
Many technicians advise replacing the lter every 8,000 miles.
However, drivers who
live in particularly dry
and dusty regions may
need to replace lters
more frequently.
Mechanics can often
detect when an air lter
needs to be replaced.
If he or she notices the
air lter is particularly
dirty, then its probably
time to replace it. Replacing the lter is a
relatively inexpensive
repair for the amount
of performance and
peace of mind a new
lter provides.

in final regular meeting before new school year

several personnel matters,
as well as a bid for window

Elementary
School.

new window coverings at
Waterville Elementary, for
$4,806.88, as per the Fire
Marshalls report.
The Board met for its
regular monthly meeting
Monday, August 17. Prior to
the meeting, there was a tour
of the summer projects and a
welcome reception for new
teachers and administrators.
A public hearing was held
on changing the 2015-2016
School Calendar from 180
days to 1,080 hours. There
were no written or oral
objections, and the public
hearing was closed. Later on
in the meeting, the change
was approved.
During
the
Superintendents
Report,
ACSD
Superintendent
Dave Herold noted that the
Annual Progress Reports
will be going out in the mail
to constituents in the ACSD
in the next week or two. He
also informed board members
that a special meeting would
have to be held in early
September to hire some
additional
personnel
to
fill vacancies. The board
members decided to hold the
special meeting September 1.
Herold also touched on some
the legislative policies that
will be shaping the upcoming
school year. He noted that
At-Risk Dropout funding
will be easier to access. The
school start date is August
24. He also noted that Epi
Pens will be allowed for use
in schools, but they can only
be administered by trained
staff in the buildings. Child
Labor Laws have changed so
that the school administrators
no longer have to sign off on
the amount of hours students
work.
The Supplemental State
Aid was set at 1.25%, and
Herold
also
explained
that Iowa Governor Terry
Branstad vetoed $55 million
in one-time money for
schools, of which the ACSD
had been planning to use its
portion to purchase library
books and textbooks. Herold
also noted that 2,160 credits
were earned by high school
students at the NICC-Waukon
Center. Of the 96 students in
the 2015 graduating class,
24% (23 students) will attend
NICC for post-secondary
education.

was paid for by a donation

from the Dave and Nancy
Einck family in memory of
their son, Mitch Einck, will
be dedicated at the September
18 football game.

Moving on to other
business, the Board approved
the Treasurers Annual Report.
The Board also approved bus

changes.
The Teacher Quality/

Development
Administrative Team of
Dave Herold, Mike Hardy,
Brian Hilsabeck, Jen Garin,
Joe Griffith and Julie

Hilsabeck and Dr. Hardy
explained the Orange Chord
Program to the Board and
those present. The Orange
Chord Program is an
opportunity to recognize
students who volunteer in
the community during their
high school years. Any
student may participate in
this program, and they will be
required to complete 40 hours
of volunteer service each year
of high school, beginning in
ninth grade, which would
be a total of 160 hours in
the four years. Students can
accumulate the hours at any
point to achieve the required
hours by graduation. Since
this is the first year of this
program, the hours will
be pro-rated for seniors,
juniors and sophomores.
Hilsabeck explained that
this years seniors would
have to complete 40 hours.
A committee of teachers and
administrators will approve
or disapprove the hours
each student accumulates.
Students who are interested
in participating can get ideas
for where to volunteer if
they cannot find a place that
meets the criteria, and their
hours will be kept track of
on forms, which will have
to be signed off on by a
supervising adult (who is not
a parent of the participating
child). Students who meet
the goals for hours will be
recognized at end of the
year Awards Ceremonies.
Graduating seniors will
receive an orange chord at
the graduation ceremony, but
the chord would be returned

after the ceremony. Board

Member Thomas Baxter
asked if there were any plans
to allow students to keep the
orange chords they receive,
and Hilsabeck noted that they
could look into that option.
The
Board
approved
changes to the High School
student handbook. Students
will still be required to
register their vehicles, but
there will not be a charge
this year for parking passes.
When exiting the parking
lot, vehicles will be required
to exit from the southwest
exit past the Wellness Center
and straight on to Old Stage
Road. Dr. Hardy noted this
will help ease some of the
congestion with other traffic,
such as buses and parents

running unopposed.
New Albin Elementary

Principal Chad Steckel reported that the New Albin elementary building is ready for
school, with many teachers
preparing for the first day. A
second pre-K (four year old)
room has been added since
there will be 28 students in
that program, an increase of
10 students from last year. A
part time para-professional
will need to be hired at the elementary level. Kindergarten
enrollment may be up one or
two students.
As Activities Director,
Steckel said that the football
and volleyball practices have
begun with approximately
30 participants on each team.
The New Albin Improvement
League is sponsoring a 5K
run this Saturday, August 22.
He will encourage staff and
faculty to participate since
the registration fees are earmarked to help students with
school supplies.
Keep High School Principal Mary Hogan reported that
she recently gave a tour of the
school to the 50-year class reunion alumni and they were
favorably impressed. From
preliminary numbers during
registration, there will possibly be up to eight new students at middle school/high
school, but the official count
is not taken until later in the
fall. New concurrent courses in welding, business and
computer are being offered.
Currently, the high school
offers 18 concurrent courses
through NICC. The building,
faculty and staff are ready for
the new school year to begin
August 24.
Superintendent Dr. Dale
Crozier and Principal Hogan
met with City of Lansing officials, finalizing details of
the Citys rental of portions
of the old middle school. The
City is in need of new offices

because it would be too costly to remodel the current city
hall. Attorneys are looking at
the agreement. This should
be a mutually beneficial situation for both the City and
the school district. The City
will pay rent to the district
and will incur any costs associated with remodeling. In
addition, the City will be responsible for snow removal.
When the final agreement has
been reached, both the Board
and City Council will need to
approve the agreement.

Dr. Crozier made the
Board aware that because
the school calendars of both
the MFL/MarMac and Eastern Allamakee districts are
almost identical this year,
there may be times when the
he will be unable to attend
both districts functions and
events. He also reported that
the current financial situation
looks strong, but the Board
needs to be ever watchful of
enrollment and how it affects
the overall budget.

Red Cross to hold blood drive in Lansing August 21

The American Red Cross
urges blood donors to give in
the final weeks of summer to
help prevent a blood shortage.
Blood donations often decline in August as final summer vacations are planned
and back-to-school activities
ramp up. On average, during
the summer months, about
two fewer donors give blood
at each Red Cross blood drive
than what is needed.
Donations are needed now
to help ensure blood is available for patients in need.
Donors with types AB, O
negative, B negative and A
negative blood are especially
encouraged to donate. Plasma
from type AB donors can be
transfused to patients of any

blood type, as can type O
negative blood. Type B negative and A negative blood can
be transfused to Rh-positive
or negative patients. These
are the most in demand blood
types and are in constant
need.
The next opportunity in
Allamakee County to donate blood to the American
Cross will be Friday, August
21 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at
the Kerndt Brothers Savings
Bank Community Center in
Lansing.
To make an appointment
to give blood, download the
Red Cross Blood Donor App,
visit redcrossblood.org or
call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767).
The Lansing City Council met in regular session at

7 p.m. Monday night after
first walking through the old
middle school building to assess the viability of utilizing
that space as City offices in
the near future.
The Council discussed and
approved Ordinance Number 193, to amend Title VI
of the Municipal Code adding a Building Moratorium to
prohibit the construction of
structures within the Downtown Historic District in the
City of Lansing. The first
two readings of the Ordinance were waived and the
Ordinance is effective immediately. The moratorium
will terminate in one year or
until the adoption of a revised
restricted residential district
ordinance.
Mayor Brennan presented
a donation proposal to the
Council for the Driftless Area
Education and Visitor Center
which was discussed at the
last Council meeting. Brennan suggested an in-kind
donation of water and sewer
charges for five years, estimating an average of 5,000
gallons of water per month.

The five years of free water
and sewer would total approximately $5,850. The City
would also waive the hookup/
connection fees valued at
$200, bringing the total donation to just over $6,000. The
Council approved the plan.
Jan Griffith addressed the
Council requesting that a fire
hydrant be relocated on her
property at 701 North Front
Street to allow for excavating,
rebuilding of a wall and other
repairs. Griffith would pay
for whatever charges are incurred. After discussion, the
Council approved the project.
The Council approved Tom
Burkes request to allow a
larger than standard driveway
at 80 North Fourth Street.
Rather than 24 feet, Burke
requested a 32-foot driveway.
The driveway will blend with
the new asphalt street which
is scheduled to be completed
this week. Brennan advised
Burke to coordinate details
with the Street Department.

Berger, Duncan to wed Aug. 29

Candace Berger of Waukon and Spencer Duncan of

engagement and upcoming
wedding. They plan to exchange vows August 29 in
Prairie du Chien, WI.
The bride-elect is the
daughter of Rusty and Cynthia Berger of Waukon. She
is a 2007 graduate of Waukon Senior High School, a
2011 graduate of the University of Northern Iowa with
a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Biology and Chemistry and a
2014 graduate of Mercy College of Health Sciences with
a Bachelor of Science degree
in Nursing. She is currently
employed as a Registered
Nurse in the Emergency Department at Mercy Medical
Center in Mason City.
The groom-elect is the son
of Steve Duncan of Manchester and Ellen Whitltach
of Des Moines. He is a 2005
graduate of West Delaware
High School, a 2008 gradu-
ate of Kirkwood Community

College with an Associates
degree in Information Systems Management and a 2011
graduate of the University of
Northern Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Movement and Exercise Science.
He is currently employed as
a Trauma Sales Consultant
for DePuy Synthes.
Veterans Memorial Hospital Administrator Mike

Myers, RN, was informed
recently that the Mayo Clinic
Health System-Franciscan
Healthcare has made the decision to discontinue water
births. This decision also
affects Veterans Memorial
Hospital locally as the Waukon Mayo Clinic physicians
are the ones who deliver babies in the birthing tub at the
hospital.
In an August 12 news release, Mayo stated this decision follows a joint opinion issued by the American
Academy of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists (ACOG)
and the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP), which,
in brief, indicates underwater deliveries should only be
done in the context of a clinical trial.
Mayo also stated they recognize that many patients
have appreciated having
water births as an option for
their delivery and may feel
disappointed by this decision. However, women will
still be able to use water immersion while in labor and
may choose this technique
to aid in relaxation and pain
management, but the birth
itself will not be performed
while in the water.
Veterans Memorial Hospital has been offering the
birthing tub as a birthing option since 2002, with great
popularity and success. Numerous mothers have chosen this form of natural child
birth for all of the benefits it
offers in addition to the pain
relief and relaxation it provides.
We are greatly saddened
to have to discontinue offering water birth as one of our

birthing options, stated Diane Allison, RN, OB Supervisor at Veterans Memorial
Hospital. Our moms have
loved this option and have
even travelled from many
miles away just for this opportunity. But we need to follow this decision at this time,
with hopes that one day we
may be able to offer water
births again.
Since Veterans Memorial
Hospitals complete renovation of the maternity services department did include
whirlpool tubs in each private
suite, all moms will still have
the option of laboring in water to help ease the pain and
pressure of labor.
Not only was our Maternity Services Department
recently been redecorated for
the comfort and convenience
of our families, but we have
also added many other forms
of pain management such as
complementary
massages
and the recent addition of
nitrous oxide for managing
labor, added Allison. The
nitrous oxide option offers
non-invasive, quick acting,
short lasting pain relief and is
completely controlled by the
laboring mom herself. We
have had numerous moms in
the last year really appreciate
this new form of pain management. It is fortunate that
we can offer another non-invasive option for our laboring
patients.

MRI services now available weekdays at VMH

Veterans Memorial Hospitals Radiology Department
has announced the hospital
is now offering appointments
for MRI testing every Monday through Friday. Formerly, the service was available
just two days per week, but as
of July 1, these services are
available every weekday by
appointment and for emergencies as available.
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is a way of
obtaining very detailed images of organs and tissues
throughout the body without
the need for x-rays or ionizing radiation. Instead, MRI
uses a powerful magnetic
field, radio waves, rapidly
changing magnetic fields,
and a computer to create images that show whether or
not there is an injury, disease
process or abnormal condition present.
For the MRI procedure,
the patient is placed inside
of the MR scanner, a large
doughnut-shaped
device
that is open on both ends.
The powerful magnetic field
aligns atomic particles called
protons that are present in
most of the bodys tissues.
The applied radio waves then
cause these protons to produce signals that are picked
up by a receiver within the
MR scanner. The signals are
specially characterized using
the rapidly changing magnetic field, and, with the help
of computer processing, images of tissues are created as
slices that can be viewed in
any orientation.
An MRI examination
causes no pain and the
magnetic fields produce no
known tissue damage of any
kind. The MR scanner may
make loud tapping, knocking
or other noises at times during the procedure. However,
using earplugs prevents problems that may be associated
with this noise. Patients are
able to communicate with the
MRI technologist at any time
using an intercom system or
by other means.
In addition to MRI, the
New MRI unit at VMH ...
Pictured is the new MRI unit at Veterans Memorial Hospital. It is located just outside
the facility along the east side of the hospital. MRIs are now available locally Monday
through Friday by appointment. Submitted photo.
Radiology Department provides many radiology services locally. CT, ultrasounds,
bone densitometry, mammography, and general and
emergency x-ray services are
available every day. Plus the
radiography system is a digital system that communicates
quickly with specialists in
larger hospitals, much faster
than any patient could drive
to another location.
The advantages of having a digital, state-of-theart x-ray system are many.
Digital means every x-ray
image is computerized and
can be easily transmitted to
larger health care facilities
for interpretation whenever
a radiologist is not on site.
Digital images are viewed
on high-resolution monitors
right away, with no waiting
for film to develop. These
high-resolution monitors are
being installed in various departments around Veterans
Memorial Hospital so images
can easily be sent to the department where the physician
is for even quicker x-ray interpretation.
Digital also means
higher quality. Digital X-ray
images are much clearer and
easier for the radiologist to
Weekend clinics available

over Labor Day weekend
Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon will again
be holding its regular weekend clinics over the Labor
Day holiday weekend. The
special Labor Day weekend
clinics will be held Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday, September 5, 6 and 7 from 1 to
5 p.m. each day for all nonemergencies.
Weekend Clinics are held
every Saturday and Sunday
at Veterans Memorial Hospital, all year round, from 1-5
p.m. each day for non-emergencies. Non-emergencies
are considered ailments that
could be seen by a physician in a clinic and do not
require an emergency room

visit, such as minor injuries,
sore throats and/or ear aches
that cannot wait until regular
clinic business hours. These
weekend clinics save families
the cost of regular emergency
room fees on the weekends
when the other local clinics
are closed.
Anyone needing to utilize
these special weekend clinics
over the holiday is asked to
enter the hospital through the
main entrance and register
with the receptionist. Walkins are welcome. For more
information, call Veterans
Memorial Hospital at 563568-3411.

read. Being able to manipulate images is one of the main

benefits of digital technology.
Since the images are computerized, the radiologist can
also easily adjust the brightness, change the contrast and
zoom in for close-ups of specific areas of interest in any
X-ray.
All digital x-rays can easily be stored just like computer files. This is a great convenience when comparing one
x-ray to another. These computerized images can easily
be brought up on the monitor,
side by side, for comparison,
on any monitor within the
hospital or any other medical facility the images are
sent. This eliminates the dependence on only one set of

original x-ray films.
Mammography has been
offered by Veterans Memorial Hospital for more than 20
years, but is also now available into the evening hours so
patients are invited to make
appointments for a mammogram after work. This change
in schedule was made in an
effort to make mammography screening more accessible.

Farmers urged to use caution when

using chemicals, fertilzers and manure
Hot temperatures, low
stream levels and cloudbursts
are the perfect recipe for a
fish kill.
Historically, fish kills occur more frequently under
these conditions, and we are
very dry here in northwest
Iowa, says Ken Hessenius,
supervisor of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNRs) Spencer field office. Weve also investigated
a few fish kills in other parts
of the state this week.
cause oxygen levels to drop,

cause fish and other aquatic
organisms like crayfish and
dragonfly larvae to be especially vulnerable to pollutants.
Anyone who handles
chemicals or animal manure
can take a few simple precautions to prevent downstream
impacts.
Follow pesticide labels
and manure management
plans. Watch the application
rate and observe setbacks
from streams. Some aerially
sprayed chemicals are toxic
to fish at concentrations of
less than one part per billion,
which is like adding a pinch
of salt to a 10-ton bag of potato chips, he said.
Check for discharges from
chemical mixing stations or
areas of livestock concentra-
For that reason, we want

to encourage farmers, pesticide and manure applicators
and homeowners to be extra
careful when using chemicals, fertilizers and manure,
he added.

tion to make sure nothing

reaches the stream after a
rain, he says. Keeping open
lots scraped and clean will
help.
If you suspect a problem
with runoff, contain it immediately to prevent pollutants from entering a stream.
Check below the lot to see
if runoff is reaching a ditch,
stream pond or tile inlet.
Finally, report spills, runoff and fish kills as soon as
possible to the nearest DNR
field office or the 24-hour
spill line at 515-725-8694.
Spills must be reported within six hours of discovery, but
the sooner they are reported,
the sooner specialists at the
DNR can help with advice
on containment, reducing the
impact on a stream.
DNR on track to complete inspections

of conned animal feeding operations
The Iowa Department of
Natural Resources (DNR)
recently reported that its
work to comply with a fiveyear agreement with the U.S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency Region 7 is right on
track. DNR staff completed
41 percent of required animal
feeding operation inspections
in its first two years of the
work plan.
Our biggest effort is to
complete the required 8,582
inspections, working to identify any hog, cattle, dairy or
other operations that need
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES)
permits, said Barb Lynch,
chief of DNRs field services
and compliance. We agreed
to complete about 20 percent
of the inspections each year.
Since the majority of

larger facilities in Iowa are
confinements, with animals
housed under a roof and state
law requiring manure containment, most facilities we
inspect do not have problems
with manure runoff, she added. Weve worked to ensure
those that do have problems
receive the appropriate enforcement actions, some of
which result in new NPDES
permits.
The latest progress report
on the work plan is available at www.iowadnr.gov/
afo/. Look for the EPA/DNR
Workplan heading on the left.
Ongoing work plan efforts
include enforcement actions,
which are taken as needed,
identifying previously unknown animal feeding opera-
tions and completing annual

training requirements to ensure consistency in inspections and enforcement across
Iowa.
Other priorities for field
staff include responding to
complaints and spills.
During the first year of the
agreement, efforts focused
on updating state regulations
to be consistent with federal
requirements and developing
standard forms and procedures.
With additional funding
from the state, we were able
to hire new staff for this intensive effort, Lynch said.
Training for new and existing
staff began in January 2013
and continues each year with
ongoing refreshers.
Protect Iowas habitat - observe mowing

restrictions in highway right of ways
On many stretches of state
highway, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT)
allows land owners and others
to harvest hay out of the roadside by permit. The permitting
process begins in the spring,
but mowing for hay is not allowed until July 15 by Iowa
law, with some exceptions.
The Iowa DOT requires a permit for several reasons, one
of which is the protection of
habitat.
By delaying haying until July 15, we lose a little on
hay quality, but gain much
benefit for wildlife, said
Joy Williams, an Iowa DOT
agronomist. Roadsides are
important corridors of habitat
for many species. Leaving the
roadside undisturbed during
early summer not only benefits nesting wildlife, but also
leaves cover and flowers for
bees and other pollinators, including the Monarch butterfly,
whose populations are declining.
When early spring weather
is cold and damp, delaying
harvesting of hay from the

right of way until July 15 is
even more important, especially for ground nesting bird
habitat. Ground nesting birds
like pheasants will re-nest if
the nest is disturbed, says
Todd Bogenschutz, the upland
wildlife biologist with the
Iowa Department of Natural
Resources. Sometimes nests
are destroyed by floods. It is
likely this happened often this
year. About 35 to 45 percent
of pheasant, 62 percent of
quail, and 60 to 70 percent of
songbird nests hatch after July
first. Also, cover is needed for
the insects that are essential
for the chicks protein-rich
diet.
The Iowa DOT has established two periods for harvesting grass within the state highway right-of-way. Only one
cutting per year is allowed;
this gives the grasses time to
recover before winter and provides better winter cover for
wildlife.

Producers reminded to
le sodbust plans before
breaking new ground
Producers bringing land
into production that has not
been previously cropped
need to complete a sodbust
plan at the Farm Service
Agency (FSA) before doing
any ground-breaking activity. Producers should also
check with FSA before removing any trees or shrubs
from fence lines to ensure
that those areas are considered part of existing fields or
a sodbust form will need to be
filled out. Failure to complete
a sodbust plan could jeopardize farm program payments.
Producers will also need to
revise their NRCS conservation plan to ensure that the
planned tillage and rotation
will meet the soil loss requirements.
District Commissioners have
decided that they will not approve sodbust plans for the
following reasons:
If sodbust paperwork is
not filed at the FSA office before breaking ground;
If the ground has a class
6 or higher;
If the ground is predominantly an E slope or greater;
If the ground has a corn
suitability rating of 30 or less.
The Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD)
wants to ensure that people
think about the ground they
want to bring into production and understand the erodibility of the soils. In order
for producers to receive farm
program benefits, they must
be actively applying an approved conservation plan or
maintaining a fully applied
conservation system.
If the SWCD denies a sodbust plan and the producer
chooses to go through with
the sodbust, there are appeal
rights. Producers may write a
letter to the Area NRCS office
requesting that they review
the conservation plan for the
sodbust acres. Producers who
are considering sodbusting
an area to crop next year are
asked to stop by the offices
soon to get the planning process started.

quality. Practices eligible for
this funding are cover crops,
no-till or strip till, or using a
nitrification inhibitor when applying fertilizer.
The cost share rate for firsttime users of cover crops is
$25 per acre; no-till or strip till
are eligible for $10 per acre;
and farmers using a nitrapyrin
nitrification inhibitor when
applying fall fertilizer can re-
ceive $3 per acre. Farmers are

eligible for cost share on up to
160 acres.
First-time users that apply
by July 24 will be the first applications funded. First-time
users that apply after July 24
will still receive priority consideration, but funds will also
be made available to farmers
that have used cover crops in
the past for cost share assistance at $15 per acre.
We already have $1.6 million in applications from more
than 700 farmers interested in
doing more on their farm to

protect water quality. This includes first-time uses of cover

crops as well as farmers who
have tried them before and
are willing to do even more,
Northey said. Fortunately,
as a result of the significant
increase in funding for water
quality, we have additional
funds available. I hope interested farmers will contact their
local Soil and Water Conservation District soon to learn
more about the assistance that
is available.
Farmers are also encouraged to visit their local Soil
and Water Conservation District office to inquire about additional opportunities for cost
share funding through other
programs offered at their local
SWCDs.
The cost share assistance
was announced May 12. Since
then, the Governor has signed
into law $9.6 million to support the Iowa Water Quality
Initiative, which is an increase
of $5.2 million from the $4.4
million provided last year. The
Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship
also received $6.75 million for
conservation cost share, a portion of which can be used on
management practices such as
cover crops.
In the last two years this
program has been available,
over 1,400 farmers put in new
nutrient reduction practices on
over 144,000 acres. The state
provided about $3.4 million
in cost share funding to help
farmers try a water quality
practice for the first time and
Iowa farmers provided at least
another $3.4 million to support
these water quality practices.
gan July 1. As a reminder,

once producers who signed
up for the 2015 MPP program year based on MPP
regulations, they are required
to sign up for the years 20162018.
Each year dairy producers
will received a bump in their
pounds from the previous
year. The coverage election
will need to be completed
each year also. For example:
in 2015, a producer elected
to go $5.00 at 65% for $100
fee and a premium amount.
In 2016 the producer chooses
to go $4.00 @ 90% for $100.
This is one example what
dairy producers can do in the
coming years. If you have
any questions in regards to
this program or you are operating a new dairy, contact the
county office.
Update Records
FSA office would like to remind sellers and buyers of
land to contact the office
when the recorded deed has
been filed. NOTE: If all or
part of the land has a CRP
contact active there will need
to be a succession to the CRP
contract. If the buyer does not
want to succeed to the CRP

contract, the seller will need
to refund all payments received, plus interest. Inquire
at the FSA Office on the policies of buying/selling CRP
land.
Transition Incentives
Program Reminder
The Agricultural Act of
2014 amendments to the
Food Security Act of 1985, as
amended, authorized $33 million for the voluntary transition of land enrolled under an
expiring CRP contract from
a retired or retiring owner or
operator to a veteran, underserved, or beginning farmer
or rancher to return the land
to production for sustainable
grazing or crop production.
To be considered eligible,
veteran, underserved, or beginning farmers or ranchers
and CRP participants must
enroll in TIP during the period beginning one year before
the CRP contract expiration
date and September 30 of the
year when the CRP contract
is scheduled to expire.
If you have any questions
on the TIP program, contact
the Allamakee County FSA
Office at 563-568-2148.
ISU Extension to offer

Greenhorn Grazing
workshops over the
next several months
Livestock producers with
an interest in beginning or
transitioning grazing practices can sharpen their skills by
attending Greenhorn Grazing
workshops offered by Iowa
State University Extension.
The Greenhorn Grazing short
course consists of five different modules taught over the
grazing season.
Greenhorn Grazing is
designed for graziers interested in a more controlled
or
management-intensive
grazing system, said Denise
Schwab, ISU Extension livestock specialist. Producers
who want to optimize forage and livestock production,
increase market access and
conserve natural resources
will find the modules very informative.
The course will cover concepts relevant to all producers of grass-based livestock,
whether it is beef, dairy,
sheep or other animals, according to Schwab. Greenhorn Grazing will be held in
the Clayton, Delaware and
Dubuque county areas, but is
designed for any producers in
northeast Iowa. Each workshop will have a classroom
component with experienced
instructors and a hands-on
field component.
The workshops will begin
promptly at 9:30 a.m. and
will last through mid-afternoon. The sessions are scheduled for August 24, September 9 and November 10.
The August session will
feature Dan Morrical, ISU
Sheep Specialist, on animal
grazing behavior, forage
requirements and supplementing on pasture, Greg
Brenneman on watering
systems, and the Cameron
Schulte pasture with buried

water lines to tanks and a
spring water development.
September will feature fall
and winter forage management practices such as fall
interseeding with Jim Welter,
hay field grazing, and planning for winter feeding, as
well as weed management
with Meaghan Anderson.
Dan, Tom and Mark Welter
will be the hosts of that session. The final program will
be held at the Jack Smith
farm near Epworth and will
feature cover crop grazing
and companionship of cattle
to row crops.
The Greenhorn Grazing
program is designed to help
livestock producers evaluate
their own pasture management and implement steps
to increase their grazing efficiency, said Schwab. This
training features experienced
graziers sharing their knowledge and learning from each
other; its the best combination of academics with realworld experience.
Cost of the short course is
being largely offset by support from the Clayton, Delaware and Dubuque county
Extension districts, Theisens
Home Farm and Auto, Arrow Cattlequip, Innovative
Ag Services and Welter Seed
and Honey. Registration fees
include a resource notebook
and lunch, and help offset
speaker travel.
For more information on
specific locations or details,
contact Denise Schwab at
319-721-9624 or dschwab@
iastate.edu. To register, contact the Delaware County
Extension Office at 563-9274201.

Walk or Drive? What Would Jesus Do?

It is encouraging that fewer teenagers are learning how to drive, or are putting off learning until somewhat later, when their judgment is probably much better. Many cities and towns are making their streets safer and more
convenient for walking, riding a bicycle or using public transportation. Perhaps in the future many of us wont need to own a car to get around. If you are going to drive, you should do it well. Driving safely and cooperatively
with the other people on the road says a lot about your character. I have often wondered if Jesus was around today whether he would drive a car, or perhaps ride a bike, or just stick to walking. The New Testament portrays
Jesus as frequently walking, and scholars have estimated that Jesus may have walked over 20,000 miles in his 33 years on earth. The one instance where he rides (Matthew 21) has him riding on a colt (or perhaps a donkey) into
Jerusalema pretty humble ride for the King of Kings. Perhaps Pope Francis is right in his choice of vehicles, a used 1984 Renault which was donated to the Vatican. No need to be driving anything too fancy. And regardless of
what kind of car we drive, we should all follow the rules of the road and be extra cautious around motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, all of whom are imperiled by careless drivers. So buckle up, keep your eyes on the road,
your hands on the wheel, and your head out of your apps! Christopher Simon And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

VIEWPOINTS
The views expressed on this page are not necessarily views shared by this newspaper
And then I wrote ...

by Dick Schilling, Editor Emeritus
... that my liberal arts studies did not include entomology, so I may display my ignorance as well as my curiosity
here.
Again this year, I have let
grow to blossom stage two
large patches of Golden Rod.
I have been assured by a horticulturist that pollen from
Golden Rod is not the source
of fall allergy or breathing
problems.
I have been rewarded by
the sight of dozens of bees,
honeybees, I hope, frantically
working over the blossoms.
They dont start early. Maybe
they are teenagers. But they
work until dusk. I know of
no human tended hives in
the area, so presumably these
bees have a location of their
own choosing. I dont really
recognize bees, but assume
these are honey makers, else
why would they gather nectar? There appear to be two
sizes, one larger than the
other. I think I heard that
the drones are bigger than
the worker bees, but that the
drones never leave the hive,
where their only duty is to
keep the queen bee happy and
safe. I hope somewhere there
is a happy hive with a happy
queen thanks to my Golden
Rod.
My knowledge of butterflies is equally lacking. But
I read a letter to the editor
of one of the dailies from a
woman who said she cared
about Monarch butterflies
enough that last year she
planted several milkweed
plants under the assumption
they were the only food Monarchs eat. But she said she
pulled them all out when she
discovered the leaves were
being eaten by big caterpillars. Am I wrong, but isnt
that the idea? The large caterpillars are the larval form of
the Monarch, and they pupate
in a chrysalis then hatch into
a butterfly. Dont they?
I watched a portion of the
debate on Fox between the
ten leading Republican candidates, and earlier a smaller
portion of the debate among
those who did not make the
cut. I had never watched
much of a TV political debate
in previous years, and I confess that my watching as part
of the largest audience ever
for a non-sporting event on
TV was the presence of Donald Trump.
It was worth my time,
because I totally ruled out

ever voting for Trump. It
takes someone with a certain
amount of narcissism to run
for office, but Trump is an
egocentric loudmouth who
could be dangerous. I like
a lot of what he says, but I
fear him. His thin-skinned
ego shows whenever anyone
disagrees with him. I doubt
that he would ever learn it is
possible to disagree without
being disagreeable, and thats
something so necessary in the
holder of a major elective office.

Plus, he is a bully, like the
rich kid who owns the only
baseball in the sandlot game.
If you dont let him win,
he will take his ball and go
home, so nobody wins.
But beyond that, he confesses to bribing officials to
get his way, and I figure that
anyone who offers bribes will
also take them.
And theres enough of that
going on now.
Disabilities
by Daniel J. Vance, MS, LPCC
In the first of two columns, last week I featured
Chris Danielson of Baltimore, Maryland, director
of public relations for the
50,000-member National
Federal of the Blind, the
nations oldest and largest
organization led by blind
people.
If
you
remember,
44-year-old
Danielson
had been blind from birth,
eventually graduated from
law school, and for a time
was a law clerk for the
South Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee. He
then became a practicing
lawyer. In September 2003,
the National Federation of
the Blind (NFB) hired him.
In a telephone interview,
Danielson said, What
I like best about NFB is
it raises expectations for
blind people and raised
my expectations for myself. Part of being the only
blind kid in public school
and later one of only two
at Furman University was
that whatever I did seemed
amazing to people. In the
world, (people who are
blind) are often given a
pass because societal expectations are so low and
you dont have to do much
to exceed them. No one
ever pushed me to become
more well-rounded and do
things for myself until the
Federation began doing it.
Once joining NFB, for
example, he went through
Federation training that
taught him how to cook for
himself and maintain his

own living space.

As director of public
relations, Danielson said
NFB had three major issues
arise at its recent 75th anniversary convention. The
first was technology accessibility, he said. The second was that of protecting
the rights of blind parents.
For example, just last week
we heard of a case where a
blind couple showed up at a
hospital to have their baby
and a social worker immediately assumed the couple
couldnt take care of the
baby. So the family didnt
get to go home with their
child. Our (NFB) president, Mark Riccobono, and
his wife, are blind and have
three children. It is a personal issue for him. Lastly, at the convention, we
talked about people with
disabilities being paid less
than the federal minimum
wage and how the provision of law that allows that
needs abolishing.
The recent NFB National Convention in Tampa,
Florida, drew more than
2,700 people.
To blind people, Danielson said, Join the Federation. I say that not just
because we want more
members, but because you
will be helped by acquiring
a network of relationships
and mentorship from other
blind people in the Federation.

But Ole looked outside and

he knew hed have a touch
of rheumatism if he made the
9-mile trip from here to Linn
Grove, so he just sat in his
chair and smoked his pipe.

Farmers Exempted From
Acreage Allotments
Farm owners and operators are no longer required to
comply with their corn acreage allotments in order to
qualify for cost-sharing conservation payments. Farmers
who intend to lime this year
should file their requests at
the ASC office in Waukon.
The Allamakee County allocation for 1955 is $69,200.00,
of this allocation there is
about $25,000.00 that can
be used for such practices as
lime, tilling, ponds and livestock and terraces.
Any farmer who would like
a soil test for lime and fertilizer, may contact the ASC office, as now is a good time to
have your soil samples taken
before the fall rush.
