In Lansing ...The annual Memorial Day observance in Lansing took place Monday, May 26, with the traditional series of services taking place throughout the morning that included the

Navy Remembrance Ceremony at Sweeney's Boat Landing along the Mississippi River (pictured at right below), as well as services at Wexford and Gethsemane cemeteries and flag-raising ceremonies at both Thornton Manor and Mount Hosmer. The traditional Memorial Day program held at Oak Hill Cemetery included the Memorial Day Address deliv-ered by featured speaker Kim Sheppard (pictured in middle photo below), as well as a presentation of "Quilts of Valor" to local veterans Ralph Bartels and Norman Reeves. Pictured at left below, Jean Brink of Queen Jean Quilting in Waukon, with help from Lansing Mayor Mike Brennan, displays one of those Quilts of Valor presented during the observance

program. A more complete story about the "Quilts of Valor" program on the local and national levels can be found on Page 2A this week. Photos by B.J. Tomlinson.

In Harpers Ferry ...The Memorial Day observance in Harpers Ferry Monday, May 26 involved several unique features pictured in the surrounding pho-

tos, including a float dedicated to the area's "Fallen Heroes" (pictured at far left) and one of the drums from the former Harpers Ferry High School band (pictured directly at left) that has been used to play the cadence in the annual parade in each of the past two years.

Connie Luster is given credit for having saved the drums from the old school, with Bernie Gruman not only repairing the drums so they could be used in the parade but also actually playing the cadence on this par-ticular drum during the parade. A trio of local veterans, includ-ing Robert Kolsrud (pictured at right with Master of Ceremonies Steve Cunningham of the local American Legion Post), Norman Leiran and Don Easley, were also honored with "Quilts of Valor" through a nationwide program that supports and honors the sacrifices made by these veter-ans. A more complete story about "Quilts of Valor" on the local and national levels can be found on Page 2A this week. Photos by Teri Collins.

In New Albin ...New Albin's Memorial Day observance program was held at several venues Monday, May 26, including the New Albin Community Center, the Veterans Memorial in downtown New

Albin and at St. Joseph's Cemetery, with a variety of remembrances and honorings taking place at all venues. Special recognition was given to three World War II veterans from the New Albin area during the observance program at the New Albin Community Center. World War II veterans Leonard Heiderscheit and Bud Maust are the first two individuals pictured from the left in the photo at right below, with fellow World War II veteran John Smerud unable to be in attendance at the event. The VFW Honor Guard rendered appropriate honors at St. Joseph's

Cemetery (pictured at left below), and New Albin resident Gary Thomas (pictured at far left) pre-sented this year's Memorial Day Address. Photos by Lori Darling.

In Waukon ...The Memorial Day observance in Waukon

Monday, May 26 was met with nearly ideal weather, as featured speaker U.S. Navy Retired Chief Warrant Officer James Kvam (pictured at left) addressed the crowd about the visits he's made to national cemeteries and his reflection on the sacrifices those laid to rest there have made. After being rained out last year, the parade - much like this nation's freedom - was once again led by veterans (pictured at immediate right) who have given of their time, and in some cases their lives, so days such as Memorial Day can be observed without fail. Among those receiving special recognition during the Memorial Day events were (left to right in far right photo) Miss Poppy Emily Clark and Mrs. Poppy Marilyn Clark, along with Vietnam Veteran and Honor Guard member John Curtin, pictured with his wife, Eileen.

Brink, a veteran of the U.S. Army herself, was instrumental in bringing the nationwide Quilts of Valor program to the local area, coordinating a group of volunteers to create quilts for veterans at both the local and nation-al levels of the program.

East Main Street in down-town Waukon, to put together quilts for the Quilts of Val-or program, an organization through which these quilts fi nd their way to veterans of foreign wars.

According to the Quilts of Valor website, www.qovf.org, their mission is "to cov-er all our warriors and com-bat veterans who have been touched by war or wounded with our healing and com-forting Quilts of Valor." This non-profi t foundation began in November 2003 with the idea to distribute quilts to help comfort and heal veter-ans who have been wounded by war, whether the damage be physical or psychological. It's a way for anyone to show their respect and appreciation for the sacrifi ces and service the recipients have given for

this country.As of Mid-May, the num-

ber of quilts that have been given to veterans was at 99,836. The quilts are all made by volunteers, who choose the fabrics and pat-terns, piece them together, and then quilt them.

LOCAL EFFORTSJean Brink, the owner of

Queen Jean Quilting, who also served her country in the United States Army, ex-plained that the quilts that are being made do have to meet certain specifi cations. For ex-ample, the minimum size re-quirement for a fi nished quilt is 55 inches by 65 inches. While there is no set standard for colors or patterns, many of the quilts are done with a patriotic theme in mind. The quilts must also be made from high-quality, 100% cot-ton material.

Once the quilt has been fi nished, a label is attached bearing the fi rst names of the person who pieced the quilt together and the per-son who quilted it, as well as what state they are from. Quilters can also include a brief message, if they wish. A matching pillowcase is made, which serves as a decorative way to present the quilt, as well as being functional. The quilters may not necessar-ily know who the recipient of their work is, but they do know that their efforts are ap-preciated by the veterans and their families.

At Queen Jean Quilting, volunteers purchase fabric and batting, and then cut the fabric and sew together the tops. It costs about $200 for materials for each quilt. Brink then uses her long-arm quilt-ing machine to quilt the tops.

While most of the quilts are sent away to be distribut-ed to U.S. veterans at home and around the globe, a few do stay local. During the Me-morial Day ceremonies in Harpers Ferry and Lansing this year, quilts made local-ly were distributed to area veterans (as depicted in the surrounding photos). Three were awarded in Harpers Fer-ry, and two in Lansing. More quilts will be going to a very special reunion coming up in September in South Carolina.

For one of the members of this quilting group, Barbara Davidson of Decorah, these quilts have an extra-special meaning. Barbara's husband, Harry, was a member of the United States Marine Corps and of the 1st LAAM bat-talion Bravo battery, making him one of the fi rst Marines to go into Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Davidson and her husband will be taking over 20 quilts to the group's 50th Anniversary reunion taking place in Charleston, SC this fall.

"When these guys came home, they had to deal with anti-war protests and things like that," Davidson noted. "The quilts are a way to thank them, and let them know they are appreciated."

For more information on the Quilts of Valor program, visit the website, www.qovf.org, or stop in or call Queen Jean Quilting at 563-217-0393. The local volunteers work on the quilts for the Quilts of Valor program the third Saturday of every month, for those who would like to help with the making of the quilts. Donations are also accepted to help with costs of fabric and batting and other materials, and can be dropped off at Queen Jean Quilting in Waukon.

Leo KlockeLeo L. Klocke, 92, of Wau-

kon died Thursday, May 29, 2014 at his home in Waukon. Funeral services were held Monday, June 2 at Bethlehem Presbyterian Church in ru-ral Postville, with Rev. Gary Catterson offi ciating. Burial was at Oakland Cemetery, Waukon.

Leo Loyd Klocke was born December 10, 1921 at his parents farm in Ludlow Township. He was the son of Albert John and Esther Anna (Duvel) Kloke. He was bap-tized and confi rmed at Beth-lehem Presbyterian Church in rural Postville. Leo attended Ludlow #7 country school. December 10, 1944, Leo married Dorothy Schoenthal at Zion Reformed Parsonage in Waukon. He spent his en-tire life farming and also did electrical work and sold feed.

Leo thought the world of his wife, Dorothy; the two were always together. He was a loving and car-ing father, grandfather and great-grandfather, so proud of each and every one of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Leo had a great faith in God and was a lifelong mem-ber at Bethlehem Presbyterian Church, where he was also a church elder. He thought very highly of his church family. Having a special place in his heart for kids, Leo was a Sun-day school teacher, a youth leader at church, and a 4-H leader. For 22 years he was an adopted grandparent at the Waukon elementary schools. Leo established a softball di-amond, complete with back-stop and bases, in his pasture and the neighborhood kids came to play every Sunday and often on week nights.

Leo loved gardening and fi shing; teaching his kids, grandkids and great-grand-kids how to fi sh. He gracious-ly lent a helping hand to any-body, driving them to church or appointments. Leo will al-ways be remembered for his patience and easygoing na-ture; if the machinery broke, he calmly made repairs, or if the raccoons and birds got into the garden, he shrugged it off as no big deal and said, They have to eat, too."

Leo is survived by his wife, Dorothy of Waukon; three children, David (Barba-ra) Klocke of Independence, MO, Maxine (Chuck) Blox-ham of Waukon and Larry (Nancy) Klocke of Waukon; four grandchildren, Sara (Wayne) Lustberg, Ben (Em-ily) Klocke, Jason (Janice) Bloxham and Jenny (Lee) Stegen; seven great-grand-children, Spencer, Hannah, Zachary, Connor, Grace, Dylan and Vaughn; a sister-in-law, Ruby Kloke of Wau-kon; a brother-in-law Curtis Schoenthal of Waukon; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Milo and Robert Kloke; and two sisters, Bernita Hanson and Mary Ann Miller.

Casketbearers were grand-sons Jason Bloxham and Ben Klocke, grandsons-in-law Wayne Lustberg and Lee Ste-gen, and nephews James Han-son, Dennis Kloke, Wayne Kloke and Jerry Schoenthal.

Phyllis FogtPhyllis Ann (Nagel) Fogt,

68, of Waukon went to be with the Lord May 19, 2014 after suffering a stroke as a result of high blood pressure. As per Phyllis' request, she has been cremated, and will have her funeral service at Christ Fellowship Church, in Royal Palm Beach, FL with her family this June. A burial service in Waukon will be an-nounced at a later date.

Phyllis was born June 30, 1945 in Waukon. She at-tended the Ludlow school as a child and graduated from Waukon High School.

She married Charles A. Fogt January 19, 1975, and they had one daughter togeth-er, Donna (Fogt) Greenberg of West Palm Beach, FL. Phyllis was also the stepmother to Charles' three children, Lila, Allen and Sharla Fogt.

In the 1970s, Phyllis worked at Deco Inc., The Winneshiek Hotel, Ruby's Cafe, and Anundsen Publish-ing, all of Decorah. She con-tinually helped her parents, Dorothy (Flage) and Paul Nagel, on their dairy farm in Ludlow.

After Phyllis was married, she continued farm work and also began her own purebred Persian cat business. She would sell Persians in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. She attended cat shows in Rochester, MN and Wiscon-sin with her Persians.

For many years she cared for her mother, Dorothy Na-gel, and her brother, Nathan Nagel. Nathan will now be residing in Northgate Care Center in Waukon.

Phyllis loved the outdoors and taking walks in the fi elds to enjoy the wildlife. She was a wonderful cook and baker.

Phyllis was a member at Bethlehem Church in the Ludlow area and Zion United Church of Christ in Waukon. She loved to do the Lord's work and always gave whatever she could. She was a member of the Christian Coalition of America, and a supporter of Liberty Univer-sity as well as the American Bible Society.

Phyllis was a woman of great faith, and tried to live out her Christian values. She loved sending cards to en-courage others and let them know she was praying for them. It is a great comfort to her family to know that she is not gone, but is now at peace in Heaven with the Lord Je-sus. There is no reason to mourn, for Jesus has over-come death, and in Jesus we also have victory.

Phyllis was a dearly be-loved sister, mother and grandmother, and will be very missed. But we know with certainty that we will see her again in heaven and be reunited, so there is also joy and hope during this time of sadness.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her parents, Dorothy (Flage) Nagel and Paul Nagel of Waukon. She is survived by her husband, Charles; her brother, Nathan Nagel; her daughter, Donna (Fogt) Greenberg; a son-in-law, Mitchell Greenberg; and her grandchildren, Paul, Pame-la, Christopher and Christie Greenberg; and a step-grand-daughter, Valerie (Greenberg) Constant, and her husband, Paul Constant, all of West Palm Beach, FL.

The family asks that any memorial gifts or sympathy cards be sent to: The Green-berg Family, 106 Devonshire Circle, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33414.

Health professional offers tips to parents who are dealing with picky eaters

Children are picky eaters. Thats not exactly breaking news, but even knowing this, parents can fi nd it diffi cult to make sure their kids are getting enough nutritious foods in their diets. How can parents make sure their child isnt walking away from the dinner table without having eaten all their vegetables? Or how can they make sure their children are trying new, healthy foods?

Promoting healthy eating to your child is extremely important, says Michelle Mertens-Dodgen, nurse practitioner at Mayo Clinic Health System in Waukon. It can be diffi cult, but its crucial that your growing child gets the proper amount of nutrition.

These tips can help:1. Respect a childs

appetite: Sometimes children just arent hungry. Its important to remember not to force eating onto a child. This can cause even more animosity between parent and child over food. Give children small portions, and allow them the opportunity to fi nish that, and then ask for more.

2. Stick to the routine: Try to stay consistent. Serve snacks and meals around the same times every day. Serving juice or milk with food is fi ne; just dont let a child fi ll up on these, as it will decrease their appetite during meals.

3. Be patient with new foods: To children, trying a new food can be an extremely overwhelming experience. Allow a child repeated exposure to new foods. Theyll want to smell or touch the food, and they may even put a small amount in their mouths. Try not to talk about whether the food is good, but instead talk about its texture, or aroma.

4. Make it fun: This can be done in a couple different ways. Parents can serve a variety of vegetables that are different colors and arrange them in fun shapes. Or they can serve breakfast foods for dinner, and use cookie cutters to make foods into fun shapes.

5. Recruit a childs help: Parents can have their child help them at the grocery store. Have children help pick out vegetables and fruits, or other healthy foods. Parents should not buy anything they

dont want their child to eat, and upon arrival at home parents can have their child help them rinse the veggies, or set the table.

6. Set a good example: Parents cant eat unhealthily, and then expect their child to eat healthy foods. The more variety of healthy food parents eat, the better chance their child will follow suit.

7. Be creative: This involves adding healthy foods to things a child loves to eat. For example, add chopped broccoli or peppers to spaghetti sauce, or top their cereal with fruit.

8. Minimize distractions: A child wont focus on eating if the television is on. Shutting off electronics will help them focus on the process of eating, and it will help avoid all the advertisements for junk food.

9. Dont offer dessert as a reward: A child already wants to eat sweets. Withholding dessert reinforces that its the best food. Selecting two nights a week as dessert nights will help cut down on the sweets. Otherwise, redefi ne dessert, using fruits or yogurt in place of sugary foods.

10. Dont be a short-order cook: If parents serve their child vegetables, and they decide they want hotdogs instead, dont go make them another meal. This will simply reinforce picky eating. Encourage a child to sit at the table for the entire meal time. Eventually the healthy foods will become familiar and preferred.

Everyone wants their child to eat healthy, wholesome foods. But sometimes it can be a battle of wills at the dinner table. Dont let anger become associated with meal time. Follow these guidelines, and eventually children will enjoy eating healthily. Call us today for a

Strong month of April pushes VMH above budgeted year-to-date net incomeby Brianne Eilers

The month of April ended with a very strong bottom line for Veterans Memorial Hospi-tal (VMH) in Waukon. While acute and skilled patient days were nearly unchanged from this time last year, deliveries were up 20.8%, which VMH Administrator Mike My-ers noted could be a record month.

Outpatient physical ther-apy was another strong area, up 29.7%. Outpatient revenue was down slightly at 5.4%, but expenses were also down 2.5%. For April 2014, VMH had a net income of $99,501, and year to date the facility is sitting at a profi t of $253,932, slightly above the budgeted $252,560.

April was an excellent

month, Myers noted. VMH also has $2,860,000 in cash reserves. The number of days in Accounts Receivable is up to 83.1, which Myers attribut-ed to higher volumes, work redesign to dedicate more time to coding and billing, and working to implement electronic medical records.

All in all, VMH is sitting at a two percent profi t mar-gin, and the fi nancial infor-mation for April has played a part in dictating what hap-pens to wages and benefi ts of employees. There will be some raise given, and there are some hospitals that will not be doing that this year, Myers said. Myers also said that May will probably not be as strong a month fi nancially as April, as there were some ups and downs.

Tuesday, June 10, Ross Geerdes of Allamakee County Conservation will share stories along with a Tiger Salamander with young patrons of the library.

VMH celebrated hospital week by honoring its person-nel who serve area communi-ties. VMH continues to work on its Capital Budget, which Myers said should be brought before the board of direc-tors at the June meeting. The budget is going to be around $300,000.

The University of Iowa has made its annual review of the VMH OB Services, and Myers noted that they will be meeting with med staff on the recommendations made by the university. As noted earli-er, VMH is working on instal-lation of electronic medical records, and the hospital is expecting to go live July 1 of this year.

Myers traveled to Wash-ington, D.C. to meet with legislative representatives. He noted that a big concern for rural hospitals was the issue of swing bed payment, and that a report from the Offi ce of the Inspector Gen-eral should be coming out on that. VMH and other hospi-

Waukon City Council working with Aveka to fi nd ways to reduce processing facility odorby Bob Beach

The Waukon City Council was confronted Monday, June 2 by a group of residents who attended the Council's regular meeting in hopes of learning of some progress being made towards addressing the smell produced by the Aveka pro-cessing facility located along Allamakee Street on the north side of town.

While there were no rep-resentatives from the Aveka plant present, Mayor Loren Beneke reported that he and two members of the Coun-cil had met with three Aveka representatives about a week ago. Beneke said that the Ave-ka representatives said that they are looking into ways to reduce the odor and expect to present the City with options and associated costs, hopeful-ly within a month's time.

Asked if the smell could be expected to persist through-out the summer, Beneke said he does not have enough in-formation at this time to give a timeline for possible fi xes. He said that the City does not have the legal ability to stop Aveka's operations and that "measuring odor is like trying to grab hold of fog," which would complicate the use of the City Code regarding nui-sances.

City Attorney Jim Garrett said that there is no quick le-gal action that the City could take to force the plant to shut down without exposing the City to extensive legal liabili-ty and expenses.

An Aveka employee who said that she was at the meet-ing on her own and not at the request of management said that it's not true that the own-ers and management of Ave-ka don't want to do anything about the smell but that a mil-lion dollar fi x to the problem was not something a two-year old company could bear on its own.

Pressed by those in atten-dance on how long they could

be expected to tolerate the smell, Mayor Beneke said that hopefully there would be something more concrete to discuss at the Council's next regular meeting. "We'll con-tinue to work on it," he said. "We want to work with them [Aveka] as much as possible."

Turning to regular busi-ness, the Council held two public hearings, neither of which drew any public com-ments. The fi rst regarded the general obligation loan for the funding of the new fi re station slated to be construct-ed in Waukon and the other regarding a long-term lease with the Allamakee Com-munity School District for the use of the north athletic fi elds. Following those hear-ings, the Council approved a resolution to enter into a loan agreement for the fi re station and a resolution to approve the lease with the school dis-trict.

City Zoning Administra-tor Al Lyon reported that he has been unable to reach Don Fruechte regarding the build-ing located at 35 West Main Street that suffered extensive fl ood damage nearly a year ago. Lyon said that part of the fl oor had collapsed during last spring's fl ood and that, to date, nothing had been done to repair the damage or clean up the basement. He said that the state of the building may present a hazard to neighbor-ing buildings, and that there are growing concerns about possible mold and vermin.

City Attorney Garrett said that the City could make use of the State Code on dan-gerous buildings to have the building repaired by someone willing and able to do so and thereby acquire the property through a lien, assuming that the building, once repaired, would have a greater value than the cost to repair it. After some discussion, the Council directed Lyon to get access to the building for inspection.

will partner with 68 librar-ies across the state of Iowa to promote summer reading from June 4 through July 24 of this year. Wardell will be visiting both Decorah and Waukon July 16 as part of the Reading Road Trip, featuring his presentation at the Dec-orah Public Library at 10 a.m. and again at 11 a.m. and then presenting at Robey Memori-al Library in Waukon at both 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. that day.

We would like to thank all who helped with the Keep Waukon Beautiful event May 24. With the help of many, over 70 hours of work was performed by our crew of nearly 30 people and in that time we were able to clean over eight miles of roads, streets and grounds surrounding West Elementary, East Elementary, St. Patricks School, and the Junior and Senior High. Progress was made on the recently vacated trailer court on the west side of town and nearly a half-ton of garbage was collected at these various sites through the efforts of a small, dedicated group of citizens.

Members of our local Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Leos Club, various businesses in town, and kids ranging from 1 to 70 years of age participated and these folks demonstrated what can be accomplished when members of our community work together for a common goal. We would like to thank Waukon State Bank for their donation of pizza to the project and Cunningham Hardware for donating trash bags, and we look forward to serving our community again at next years event!

QUALITY OF LIFE! COMFORT DRIVEN!

SLEEP WELLADJUSTABLE BEDS

Sleep Well Adjustable Beds home-based business provides comfort and quality of life

Lowell Kuck is making it his mission to help others "sleep well", as his business, Sleep Well Adjustable Beds, provides power foundation beds plus in-home high/low medical beds, which have only been available to facili-ties in the past. Kuck and his wife, Diane, settled north of Decorah near Highlandville almost nine years ago. They are no strangers to home-based businesses, as they also grow commercial garlic seed and Diane is a quilt pattern designer.

After asking each other nu-merous times, "Did you sleep well last night?", they real-ized that that would be a per-fect name for their business. "I am really excited about this new retail business mod-el," said Kuck. "Consumers don't know what type of bed to purchase when medical needs arise, when they have a chronic condition, or when they are sleep deprived. In the past they had no options but a regular fl at bed. I offer high/low, head up/foot up ad-justable beds with numerous options."

"It is important that con-sumers 'try before they buy'," Kuck continued. "I am bring-ing the beds to local commu-nities so consumers can see them, lie in them, ask ques-tions and understand how they work." He also takes ap-pointments to visit his show-room.

Most rewarding to Kuck in his new business is the fact

that he is a problem solver, and he says he feels honored to help fi nd solutions for someone to sleep well. His greatest challenge, howev-er, lies in educating people about the benefi ts of the beds he offers. "Consumers have not seen a business like ours before, because there hasn't been, so we have to educate them that we have options for them to get a restful sleep and to help them care for their loved ones. Our greatest chal-lenge is spreading the word."

Many have shared with Kuck that they are sleeping in a recliner or have pain from previous sports injuries, sleep apnea, acid refl ux; all kinds of chronic conditions. "Most people do not take their lack of restful sleep very seri-ously," says Kuck. When it comes to sleeping in a fl at bed or a recliner, Kuck explains, "Laying on your back locks your knees and that puts a strain on your back, tightens your lower body muscles and reduces the ability of blood to fl ow freely. My adjustable beds stop that from happen-ing because you can raise the foot end of the bed."

In addition to being able to raise both the head and feet areas, Sleep Well Adjustable Beds also has beds that have wave massage and a button to push for a snoring partner. Kuck says two Twin XL beds form a King size when at-tached together.

MC Healthcare is giving Kuck the opportunity to be

the fi rst in the nation to offer its line of medical beds made in North America to the retail market. Before, they were only allowed to be sold to fa-cilities. These beds can adjust to heights of eight to 31 inch-es, allowing for ease in indi-vidual transferring or care by family, caregivers or health care aides.

All Sleep Well Adjust-able Beds include a cloth inner-spring mattress custom made by a manufacturer in Rochester, MN. Beds are also available with specialty ther-apeutic mattresses for those with skin issues that can lead to bed sores. Some models are stocked for immediate de-livery, and custom orders are also available.

" I know this industry and would love to assist you in fi nding the right bed for you to sleep well," summarizes Kuck. "I am also the person who answers the phone, so if you ever have questions or need service I will be there for you."

Sleep Well Adjustable Beds is featuring its products at an open house event Thurs-day and Friday, June 5-6, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day at the Farmers & Mer-chants Savings Bank Com-munity Room in Waukon. Appointments can also be made to visit their showroom by calling 563-419-2501. Ad-ditional information can also be found in the advertisement featured below on this same page.

demographics and market share, as well the number of people with chronic diseases. The hospital can use the in-formation to determine what kinds of classes to offer and what kind of screenings to offer to help catch things like diabetes or congestive heart failure. We want to better enhance and improve our care to them, Myers noted.

VMH has also approved the use of nitrous oxide as an option for OB patients. In-service training will take place in early June, and after the training it will be imple-mented. Myers noted that the

use of nitrous oxide for labor pain management in the Unit-ed States is an issue that is

becoming more talked about in medicine as well as in the media.

During its regular meeting Monday, June 2 the Lansing City Council set June 16 as the public hearing date for the proposed water/sewer rate increase. The proposed changes include an automatic 2% usage rate increase begin-ning July 1 with additional increases to be set by City Or-dinance, which will be read at the June 16th hearing - the fi rst of three readings.

Ric Zarwell, representing North Front Street residents Kim and Stan Lee, addressed the Council regarding the spe-cial building permit requested by Dave and Karen Mathis. Zarwell said the Lees objec-tions included water drainage issues, obstruction of view, blockage of air fl ow and de-valuation of property. Mayor Brennan said the Council would note the objection.

Jeff Harris and the Coun-cil discussed a fl yer advertis-ing a concert June 21 at TJs Banquet Hall. The fl yer stated some of the proceeds would be disbursed to the City of Lansing Park and Rec. Al-though the Council had no objection to the event itself, they had not been informed of the event but their name was on the fl yer. Harris said he was told he just needed to get permission from the Parks Board. He said none of the Council members called to ask him about it, that he had just heard behind his back that the Council was upset about it. Mayor Brennan

emphasized that the Coun-cil needed to be informed if the Citys name is associated with an event.

The Council reviewed and approved a building permit for Jay Tommasin on the Al-lenstein property. The Coun-cil also approved closing off Allamakee Alley behind the Ken Magnusson residence for an auction Sunday, June 29. An agenda item to review an invoice for a service line break submitted by William and Derva Burke was tabled pending further information.

Street Superintendent Jerry Aperans said the swim-ming pool would open Friday, June 6. Several applicants for lifeguards, pool manager and concession stand employees were approved.

The Council discussed the parking problem at the Ma-rina. Marina slip renters are allowed one parking space, but there may not be enough spaces. It was suggested that a count be conducted of avail-able spaces and additional parking be provided if neces-sary.

A Special Council meeting with the North Front Street Project residents was tenta-tively set for 6 p.m. Wednes-day, June 18. The goal of the meeting is to update the

residents on progress of the project.

The Council reviewed and approved Resolution #843, setting annual salaries and wages for City non-union employees and department heads. Union and non-union employees will receive a 4% increase effective July 1. The Council also reviewed and approved Resolution #844, designating Kerndt Brothers Savings Bank as depository of City funds.

Deb Volker submitted her resignation as Parks Board member. Mayor Brennan and the Council thanked her for her service.

Council member Rebecca Conway questioned whether the City is up to date on send-ing notices to residents who are not complying with the nuisance ordinance, which requires mowing and weed control. She said she has re-ceived several complaints. Council members agreed; Mayor Brennan suggested contacting the County Weed Commissioner to help iden-tify noxious weeds.

Dave Darling questioned the placement of a porta potty along the edge of the River. The Mayor and others agreed that it is unsightly and should be removed.

Kee students assist with beautifi cation project ...The Kee High band and vocal department brought nearly 40 Kee High students out to The Hill last Tuesday for

a Civic Responsibility Day. They were there to help the Lansing Visioning Group pretty up the parcel at the end of Blackhawk Bridge. Kee High Band Director Justin Schwake said the students, who were revved up for the last day of school, all volunteered to help the cause by pulling weeds, digging, planting and spraying. Despite a couple of run-ins with garden snakes, the event was a great success. Adults who have adopted portions of the Hill were present to direct the students. Sue Papp, Bill Nation, John Verdon, Duane Meier, Bob Conyer and Jackie Everett helped out and all agreed the students did a great job. Photo and report by B.J. Tomlinson.

Aide to Senator Harkin to visit Allamakee County June 10 as part of "In the Footsteps of History" Tour

Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) recently announced that his aide, Suellen Flynn, will visit Allamakee County Tuesday, June 10 as part of a summer tour highlighting Harkins partnership with Iowa communities through the years. The In the Foot-steps of History tour will include all Iowa counties and feature local projects aimed at keeping Iowa communi-ties healthy and safe, keeping communities thriving through targeted education, research, and economic development projects and promoting local agriculture and conservation, while mitigating disasters.

Flynn will meet with ad-ministrators at the Allamakee Community School District at approximately 10:30 a.m., followed by a tour of Waukon High School to see fi rsthand how schools in the district have benefi ted from the Iowa Demonstration Construction Grant Program, better known as Harkin Grants.

Since 1998, Harkin has secured $132 million in fund-

ing for the initiative - the fi rst of its kind in the nation - to repair, modernize and build new schools. As part of the local and federal partnership, the program has leveraged an additional $632 million in state and local funds.

Since 2004, the Allamakee Community School District has received more than $1.7 million for a range of reno-vation and repair efforts, in-cluding updating fi re safety systems, an addition to the high school, and providing a satellite Northeast Iowa Com-munity College center and a wellness center.

Iowa students cannot learn in buildings that are falling apart, said Harkin. Working together with state and local communities, this funding has ensured Iowa stu-dents are learning in schools that are safe and modern. It was an investment in Iowas communities and its kids, and I look forward to learning about the renovations made possible in Allamakee Coun-ty.

ACSD Board amends 2013-2014 budget during special session hearingby Brianne Eilers

The Allamakee Community School District (ACSD) held a brief special meeting Wednesday, May 28 to hold a public hearing on the amended 2013-2014 budget, as well as to hear a few other items.

There were no public comments, written or spoken, during the budget hearing, and the amended budget was then passed. The amendment changed the amount of total support services from $4,640,500 to $4,975,000, with the reason being specifi ed as use of unspent balance. The change will be fi nanced from increased receipts and balances not budgeted or considered in the initial 2014-2014 budget.

In other matters, a joint sharing agreement for the

2014-2015 school year for a curriculum coordinator between the ACSD and Decorah Community School District was approved. The Board also approved holding a garage sale Friday, June 6 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

In personnel matters, the food service director stipend for the Summer Feeding Program was increased to $1,000. Cooks wages for the Summer Feeding Program were raised to $1 per hour over the contracted wages for the Summer Feeding Program. The Board accepted the resignation of Nancy Einck from her para-educator position. The Board also hired Brooke Hudson as an Elementary Teacher/Special Education/Reading instructor at Waterville Elementary School, and as the seventh grade girls track coach.

Annual eighth grade trip to Des Moines ...The eighth grade students at Waukon Junior High

School made their annual trip to Des Moines Thursday, May 8, departing at 5 a.m. with 72 students and nine chaperons on two Hawkeye Stages buses. The rst stop was the Iowa Historical Museum, where students had the opportunity to browse exhibits such as life as an Iowa pioneer, Iowa and the Civil War, and the use of Iowas natural resources throughout history. Next up was a tour of the Iowa Capitol, where students learned about the Capitol's history and how it functions as the center of Iowa government. A highlight for many was the tour of the Capitol Dome. The nal stop of the day was the Iowa Science Center. Students explored the many hands-on exhibits that dealt with astronomy, electricity, waterways, aerodynamics, and gravity, including building rockets to test launch (pictured at right). An added bonus was a viewing of Mysteries of the Unseen World in the IMAX theatre. As with other eld trips, partial funding was made available from the Junior High Partners in Education, which accepts donations year-round. Submitted photos.

SCHOOLS OUT: THE GREAT OUTDOORS

AWAITSThe school year wanes as

summer arrives. Its time to get the kids outside to explore endless possibilities. Nature is calling!

A young childs connection with nature can be as simple as sitting under a tree, watching a bug or planting a seed. Spending time in nature has many positive benefi ts.

Children who have

opportunities to play and learn in nature are more likely to handle challenges and problems more capably and act responsibly toward the earth and each other. They are more physically active and aware of nutrition, and less likely to be obese.

Other benefi ts include having a greater appreciation of the arts, music, history and

literature; choosing science or a related fi eld for careers; and becoming better-informed and environmentally-aware adults.

Children love to play, and can easily turn a twig into a toy or a mud puddle into a play area.

Play is more than just fun and games - it is a key for childrens healthy development. In addition, play provides the foundation for learning and academic success, is critical for the development of creative problem-solving and imagination, and helps children learn how to interact with others. Play integrates all types of learning - physical, social, emotional and intellectual.

Play is freely chosen, self -directed and motivated by the child. Children can play anywhere and with anything, but the natural world is an especially inviting place for play. Children play to invent, explore and try different things. Open-ended play in natural settings or with natural objects enhances curiosity and triggers the imagination.

Nature exists around you. Consider exploring insects,

plants, trees and wildlife. Need more ideas? Look for ants, spiders, bugs, seeds, birds, fi sh, fl owers and so much more. Children love to watch things grow and move. Summer awaits - lets go outside now!
