Allamakee-Clayton REC holds 73rd annual meeting

Returned Incumbents

Member-Owners attending the 73rd annual meeting of Allamakee-Clayton Electric Cooperative returned incumbents Larry P. Lamborn, Luana, Michael D. Gibbs, Waterville, and Bernard J. Welsh, Waukon, to their seats on the board of directors. Allamakee-Clayton Electric Cooperative held its 73rd annual meeting Monday evening, September 12. Cooperative members approved reports from fiscal year 2010 and returned incumbents Michael D. Gibbs, Waterville, Larry P. Lamborn, Luana, and Bernard J. Welsh, Waukon, to their seats on the board of directors. Prior to the business meeting, musical entertainment was provided by “Back to Country”, a local band featuring the talents of Jim and Radine Adam, Dave Dougherty and Tom Baker. Roger Arthur, ACEC president, and Paul Foxwell, general manager, presented “Commitment to Community” and illustrated the Cooperative’s support of local communities, Northeast Iowa and the state as a whole. This activity is generally more low key and behindthe-scenes than the 2010 sponsorship of the Country Heritage Community Maize Maze at Elgin, but it provides benefits for REC members and the communities in the region. Foxwell explained that the Cooperative’s core mission remains the same: to provide safe, reliable and affordable electric service. This requires constant attention and effort, and an annual expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars on system maintenance and replacement. He added that although Mother Nature sometimes makes it difficult to maintain reliable service, advance planning and preparation helps. Arthur continued by explaining mutual aid agreements, through which cooperatives help each other by providing additional equipment and employees during periods of high volume outages. RECs also work together on the political front, meeting with legislators on the state and national level to ensure they understand the impact of their decisionmaking on cooperative members. Foxwell provided an update on the Cooperative’s renewable energy sources, including the addition of the former E.J. Stoneman power plant in Cassville,

Wisc., which has been converted to burn wood waste biomass fuel. The entire output is purchased by Dairyland Power Cooperative for use by Dairyland members, including ACEC. Arthur explained Dairyland’s ongoing process to decommission the former La Crosse Area Boiling Water Reactor near Genoa, Wisc. The use of a newly constructed Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation facility will reduce annual expenses associated with spent fuel storage by $2-3 million dollars. During 2010, the Cooperative paid more than $63,000 in energy efficiency rebates; it also assisted with applications that resulted in members receiving $483,000 in USDA Rural Energy for America grants and another $204,000 in guaranteed loans. Other programs that are available to communities in the area include FirstCall monitoring service, WildBlue satellite Internet, and safety demonstrations in area schools. Recognition was given to long-time employee Doyle Allen who recently retired after a 40-year career with the Cooperative. Crystal Krapfl, Colesburg, and Katie Riese, Waukon, gave brief reports of their Washington D.C. Youth Tour experiences. They both extended their appreciation for ACEC’s continued support of Youth Tour and encouraged other students to participate. President Arthur announced the award of the 2011 Robert "Bill" Hauschild Memorial Scholarship to Logan Berns, Waterville, and Brian Schumann, Garber. Both are currently enrolled in the Powerline Technology program at Northwest Iowa Community College, Sheldon. The board of directors held their reorganizational meeting immediately following the annual meeting. Officers reelected were: Roger Arthur, Sumner, president; Sarah D. Lopez, Hawkeye, vice president; Duane L. Klink, Elkader, secretary-treasurer.

Iowa Unemployment Rate Edges Up to 6.1 Percent DES MOINES, IOWA – Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate edged slightly higher to 6.1 percent in August from 6.0 percent in July, but remained under the year ago rate of 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy added no new jobs in August, while the unemployment rate held steady at 9.1 percent. “While Iowa continues to have one of the lower unemployment rates in the nation, its job growth stalled in August due to the same conﬁdence issues being felt across the country,” said Teresa Wahlert, director of Iowa Workforce Development. “Over the past year, Iowa has recovered about one-third of the jobs lost during the 2007-2009 recession.” The statewide estimate of unemployed workers ticked up to 101,900 in August from 100,400 in July, but was under the August 2010 level of 103,800. Total employment fell to a currentyear low of 1,563,200 in August, showing a gradual loss in momentum since April. The comparable month ago and year ago ﬁgures were both higher at 1,568,200 and 1,566,400, respectively. Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment... Nonfarm employment dropped by 2,300 in August, lowering the statewide total to 1,486,200. Private industry shed 2,100 jobs, and government declined by 200 jobs as local government

losses offset the slight gains in state government. Job gains in August were relatively small, and conﬁned to three sectors. Professional and business services added 900 jobs, with the largest concentration in administrative support and waste management services. Health services grew by 1,400, outpacing losses in education to pull the education and health services sector ahead by 900. Other services advanced by 600 jobs. In a departure from its recent trend, leisure and hospitality decreased by 1,800 jobs. Trade and transportation decreased by

News Briefs NE Iowa Tractor Club donates

Members of the Northeast Iowa Classic Tractor Club, which was founded by Gerald Schneider who is a resident at the Good Samaritan Society, Postville Center, visited the center this summer. They have made the trek to the center an annual event for the past four years. At the Center they visit with Gerald and other members of the Club and showed off their classic tractors. Between 40 and 50 tractors were brought to the Center for the residents to enjoy. Schneider owns a good share of the tractors which were displayed. This year they presented the Activity Department with three gift certificates for the residents to eat out. The certificates were to the Irish Shanti in Gunder; Brick City Bar and Grill and the Quarry Lodge in Clermont. Members of the tractor club who are also residents of the Center are Ruth Larson of Clermont and Mary Helgerson of Castalia. Also pictured is Peggy Hangartner who is the Activity Director at the Center.

Supervisors consider appointments to Planning and Zoning Approves negotiations to purchase land near Secondary Roads Shop in Waukon

Bob Beach The Standard

During its regular meeting Monday, September 19, the Allamakee County Board of Supervisors met with Zoning Administrator Tom Blake to discuss an appointment to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Blake said that Kirby Cahoon’s term on the

Commission will expire at the end of the month, but that he has expressed his willingness to serve another term. County Auditor Pam Benjegerdes said that applications to serve on the Commission have also been received from Doug Mullen, Colleen Gragg and Harold Pronga. Blake said that all of the applicants have shown an interest in zoning regulations.

Post Prom Fundraiser

Mullen, the only applicant present at the meeting, said that he has been involved with zoning since the County’s ordinance was rewritten several years ago, served on the Bluffland Study Group and has kept up-to-date on changes to the ordinance, adding that he has time and would like to serve. Chairman Larry Schellhammer asked about Mullen’s well-documented

confrontations with Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman John Smola. Mullen responded that while he had “issues and heated discussions” with Smola in the past, he feels confident that he can get along with Smola and the other members of the

Fran Schager for the Herald Human beings are interesting, if nothing else. So much of our nature depends upon our attitude about life. Are you a “glass half full” or a “glass half empty” kind of person? Generally, people who see life as a “glass half full” are considered to be optimistic, positive and pleasant to be around. People who see life as a “glass half

empty” are thought of as the opposite. As for myself I don’t really care if my glass is half full or half empty, I’m just happy to have a glass. As my favorite time of the year is getting closer I’m busy getting all my fall things out. I’m also cooking with all the fresh produce I can. Here are two simple recipes that are so good! If I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned that life isn’t tied with a bow but it’s still a gift.

Pecan Stuffed Butternut Squash • • • • • • •

I’m a little difficult to get a hold of these days in the office since starting up The Tribune newspaper in Monona, but as always, I’m available all the time at jason@postvilleherald.com or by writing to The Herald, PO Box 100 in Postville. Please, if writing, include your name and contact information... you know how I feel about anonymous!

Jason Meyer Better Than Publisher You Deserve?

What do you deserve? You, yes... You. A Herald reader, what do you deserve from us? Earlier this year I was discussing newspapers, advertising, readership, etc... with a long-time area publisher and one of his statements caught me off guard, “Be careful not to put out a better paper than [your readers] deserve.” Initially, I didn’t react, I took the statement in stride. But lately, it’s been bothering me. Just what did he mean? Why would he make such an outrageous statement? It’s total crap! It bothers me because every Herald that hits the newsstands is a reflection of me and my team, if we’re

not striving for excellence each week, we’re not living up to our full potential. It bothers me because lately, I feel like we’re shortchanging the readers with content – and there’s no one to blame but me for that... I’ve heard third-hand some complaints. It bothers me because starting today, with this issue, the Herald is striving to provide you all with something I have not seen from any other regional paper – full color on every page. Is that costly? You bet! Do you deserve it? Hell yes! Like any newspaper publisher, I want a healthy bottom line. But, unlike my colleague, I don’t want to marginalize quality to

achieve it. As I’ve said before, the Herald is a living, growing and changing thing. Hopefully the changes this week (and any future changes) will be accepted. Complaint Department... So... I’ve been hearing third-hand about certain shortcomings in the Herald. That’s good! Well, not ‘good,’ but it’s about time I start hearing something negative! All I have to say is “Stop It!” Stop with the ‘behind the back whispers,’ if you have issues, complaints, criticism or suggestions – tell me! Honestly, you’re not going to hurt my feelings. You need to first have feelings to have them hurt. Like I said when I took over the Herald, I’m the custodian for the time-being... this is your newspaper.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face... One item I’ve heard complaints about I’d like to address is advertising. It is our ‘necessary evil’ to keep the Herald printing, and I’ve heard that we have far too much of it! Fact of the matter is, without ‘this much’ advertising, this newspaper would cease to exist as you know it today. Without advertising, annual subscriptions would be over $200 each instead of $35! I will, of course, accept $200 annual subscriptions at the box number listed above. Each week we seek a certain percentage of content, usually 50% advertising and 50% news items. This week we’re at 46% advertising and 54% news items. If we cut back advertising, the paper shrinks, coverage wanes, people lose their jobs, the economy further depresses, eventually our great republic would fall into anarchy, chaos would reign supreme... and why? Because the Herald had too much advertising! Dramatic? Sorry. -JLM

oped Dangerous Acres

John R. Whitaker

How fortunate we are to benefit from the hard work and dedication of America’s farmers, ranchers, and farm workers. September 18-24 is National Farm Safety and Health Week. As we reflect on the agricultural abundance we enjoy in Iowa and this Nation, let’s acknowledge the risk inherent in this occupation. As these hard working men and women are creating this agricultural abundance, they must be ever-vigilant for their own safety. From their toil on farms and ranches we have a cornucopia of healthy food and plants to sustain us and make our lives enjoyable and a wealth of materials for clothing and manufactured products. Every day our lives are touched and enriched by the fruits of their labors. Iowa’s farm workers and farm families are among the most productive in the world. An amazing bounty is produced on the idyllic family farms we picture in our minds. But while living and working on a farm or ranch might seem like an entirely wholesome and

stress free existence, there are few jobs in America that are more dangerous. We often think of dangerous jobs as being firefighters, police officers, or maybe miners. But according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, agriculture faces an extremely high fatality rate of nearly 4 for every 10,000 farmers and ranchers. Only fishermen, loggers and aircraft pilots have occupational fatality rates higher. Dangers built into agricultural work include harsh weather, difficult environmental conditions, operation of heavy machinery and equipment and working with dangerous materials and chemicals. Tractor roll-overs and ATV accidents continue to be responsible for a great number of adult and adolescent farm fatalities on our Nation’s farms and ranches. Accidents happen in any field but in agriculture, accidents frequently can be fatal. We have all thought about how easily a shirt sleeve could get caught in the tractor’s spinning

“power take-off” shafts and know someone who has had a narrow escape, or worse. It is so easy to become complacent in daily farm work that safety basics can be overlooked. Farm safety has to be constantly remembered and reinforced. As our Iowa farmers are readying equipment for this fall’s harvest, we hope they are not complacent and remember safety during combining, and grain handling. Please join with me during this Farm Safety and Health Week to express our appreciation and gratitude to our farmers, ranchers and farmworkers for their phenomenal contribution to our very well being. At the USDA Farm Service Agency, we are taking this opportunity to raise the awareness of farm safety to help them stay safe, healthy, and on the job. After all, it is the very practice of farm safety that sustains the health of our Nation’s farm and ranch families.

Safe Social Networking

Consumer Advisory

Tom Miller Iowa Attorney General Through social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google+, you can keep connected with friends, family and groups. But those same sites can also connect you to strangers, scammers, spammers and sexual predators. While many sites offer varying degrees of privacy protection, your postings, profiles, pictures and personal information you’ve shared could be available indefinitely to complete strangers. If you don’t want a loved one, a teacher, a college admissions office, or a current or future employer to see something you posted, you shouldn’t post it. You should always be leery about anyone you have met online, and children should NEVER, EVER “friend” a stranger. That online stranger could be an adult predator pretending to be a lonely young person. A predator may push hard to try to meet you in person, and may already know a lot about you because of what you have shared or posted. Even messages that appear to come from friends you know can come from criminals, as hackers can find ways to access accounts. One common way they access passwords is by clicking the “Forgot your password?” link on an account page, and answering security questions using information you may have previously posted online or provided directly through a chat. Hackers can also send links that appear to come from someone you know, called e-mail “spoofing,” and those links may contain malicious computer viruses or “spam.” Tips for Users and Parents... • Privacy controls: use them! Your privacy controls let you manage the profiles, pictures and information that others can access. • Assume that anyone can see your posts and pictures forever! • Choose your “friends” carefully. Criminals can assume identities by creating fake profiles. They may try to seek personal information, hack into your account,

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” Philippians 4:12

What Can YouDo Without? A king once asked a wise man what his teaching was good for. The king claimed that he was happier than the wise man because he had sumptuous palaces to live in, armies at his command, and beautiful women to consort with. The wise man asked the king whether he could be perfectly content doing nothing for an hour, to which the king replied that he could. Then the wise man asked him if he could be perfectly

content for an entire day while doing absolutely nothing. The king replied that this would be quite difficult, to which the wise man responded that he could be perfectly happy doing nothing for seven days and seven nights, and thus the wise man had the greater share of happiness. Perhaps what this story really reveals is that it is not what we have that makes us happy but what we can do without.

Supervisors Continued from Page 2A... Commission. Supervisor Sherry Strub bluntly asked Mullen if Cahoon should be replaced and Mullen replied that fresh perspectives on the Commission would be good, adding that he has always felt that boards should have term limits and that “it wouldn’t hurt to have fresh ideas.” Chairman Schellhammer said that he would like to consider all of the applicants before making an appointment. Blake said that he would request brief biographies from all of the applicants for the Board’s consideration prior to next week’s regular meeting. The Board also met with County Engineer Brian Ridenour, who presented the Board with a letter in response to a petition for

improvements to Cottage Road. Ridenour said that Secondary Roads would continue to add rock to the road as needed, that roadside brush has been recently mowed and that he would look into reducing the speed limit. The Board approved the letter. Ridenour also asked the Board for input on the possible purchase of land adjacent to the Secondary Roads shop in Waukon. Ridenour said that while there is no immediate need for the land, it is available for purchase now and could be used for storage of vehicles and culverts. The Board authorized Ridenour to proceed with negotiations to purchase all or part of the available land. In other business, the Board accepted the

Northeast Iowa RSVP celebrates Senior Corps Week

Governor’s Volunteer Award

Governor Terry Branstad presents the Iowa Governor’s Volunteer award to RSVP Director, Kathy Barloon who accepted on behalf of the 246 volunteers who are currently serving with RSVP.

Senior Corps Week is an initiative to celebrate the extraordinary impact of Senior Corps members and to recognize and thank the community partners who make Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions, and RSVP possible. Senior Corps week recognizes not just the durability and effectiveness of Senior Corps’ legacy, but the unique ability that Americans 55 and over possess to use their wisdom, professional skills, and experience to solve pressing problems and strengthen communities. Northeast Iowa RSVP which serves Allamakee, Howard and Winneshiek counties, is part of the Senior Corps group of volunteers age 55 plus who are making a difference in their own community by sharing their life skills and talents with non-profits and the people they serve. Northeast Iowa RSVP volunteers were recently honored by Governor Terry E. Branstad for outstanding

service to the State of Iowa, and were presented with the Governor’s Volunteer Group Service Award. Northeast Iowa RSVP will be celebrating Senior Corps Week and honoring the great volunteers who are serving under the RSVP program at a Volunteer Appreciation brunch at Nob Hill on Wednesday, September 21. The RSVP program has been sponsored by the Decorah Public Library since 2001 and will celebrate the beginning of its ten year anniversary this fall. The first volunteer for Northeast Iowa RSVP was Georgie Klevar who has spent over a thousand hours helping English as Second Language students learn and understand the English language. Along with Georgie, nine other volunteers will be honored for their ten years of service at the brunch this week, they are: Joyce Epperly, Ann Glesne, John Glesne, Pat Lepa, Mary Lou RaukSnitker, Lyle Rodman, Sharon Rossman, Mary

Timmerman and Naomi Winter. During the past ten years four hundred and eleven volunteers have devoted 126,665 hours of service to the community through the RSVP program. The Independent Sector for Iowa places a value of $2,124,233.80 on the service these volunteers have provided to fill critical needs in Northeast Iowa. The volunteer activities of RSVP are not only good for the community but volunteering has proven to have considerable health benefits for the volunteers themselves. A report cited by the Corporation for National and Community Service entitled: The Health Benefits of Volunteering: A Review of Recent Research, found a significant connection between volunteering and good health. The report shows that volunteers have greater longevity, higher functional ability, lower rates of depression, and less incidence of heart disease.

A study of adults age 65 and older found that the positive effect of volunteering on physical and mental health is due to the personal sense of accomplishment an individual gains from his or her volunteer activities. The Corporation for National and Community Service and its Senior Corps programs encourage all Americans to serve to help solve our communities’ most pressing problems. For more information about volunteering through Northeast Iowa RSVP and becoming a senior corps volunteer, contact Kathy Barloon or Lyle Otte at Northeast Iowa RSVP at the Decorah Public Library, 202 Winnebago Street, Decorah (563) 382-3717. Senior Corps Week, September 19 - 23, celebrates the extraordinary commitment and contribution made by Senior Corps volunteers and recognizes their critical impact on addressing tough challenges across our nation.

SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2011 National Farm Safety and Health Week is a great opportunity to stress the importance of keeping our farm families safe and healthy. The agriculture industry is unique in that so many of its members live, work and play at the worksite. This often increases the level to which farmers and their families are exposed to dangerous chemicals, machinery and livestock. Because of this potentially hazardous environment, it’s essential that each and every person on the farm is experienced and knowledgeable in the area of farm safety.

These local businesses care about the health and safety of the farmers, ranchers and agricultural workers they serve. As we recognize National Farm Safety & Heath Week, please take a moment to review these simple tips designed to protect your health and safety on the job.

Postville visited Elkader last Friday night, September 16, for a Homecoming match up with the host Warriors that saw five lead changes and plenty of big plays in a hard-fought victory for the Pirates. Elkader boasted the District’s leading rusher in Cody Bennington who was averaging 179 yards per game entering the contest. A potential showdown with Postville’s Dallas Imoehl, second in District rushing at 164 yards per game, was avoided when Imoehl was unable to play running back due to injury. Imoehl’s absence on offense was offset by the running of Cody Jarmes who entered the game as the number-three all-purpose yardage gainer in District 4 at 119 yards per game. Jarmes carried 30 times for 150 yards to lead a Pirate rushing attack that piled up 228 yards on the ground. The offense was also balanced by a resurgent passing game that saw the team throw for a season

high 217 yards. 1st Quarter (0-0) The game started slowly with both teams defenses controlling the line of scrimmage. Each team punted twice while trying to establish their offense. The highlight for the Pirates was a 33-yard pass from quarterback Zach Steffans to Riley Brockway and a pair of runs by Jarmes and Brandon Imohel that saw the Pirates inside the Warrior 10-yard line as the first quarter ran out. 2nd Quarter (10-14) Jarmes opened the second quarter by breaking a tackle and spinning down to the six-yard line. Two plays later the Pirates faced a fourth-and-one and chose to go for it with Jarmes carrying over the right side for three yards to the one-yard line. On third down, Steffans faked to Alex Pfister and went wide around the left side for the first score of the night. Abdeel Hernandez kicked the PAT to put the Pirates up 7-0. Central answered immediately. Starting at their own 11-yard line, a quick pass to end Christian Lee moved the ball out to the 41-yard

Break on through...

Early in the Central–Postville game last Friday, September 16, Brandon Imoehl (55) helped the Pirate offense bring the ball within the Warrior 10-yard line. Later in the fourth quarter, Imoehl aided in sealing the Pirate victory over Central with a 14-yard run up the middle.

line. On the next play, Bennington broke loose and carried the ball deep into Postville territory before being pushed out at the threeyard line by Nick Wedo. Adam Osmundson rushed in from there and the PAT tied the score at 7-7. Following the kick-off, Postville took over on the 33-yard line and showed an explosive offense of their own. A 12-yard run by Jarmes was followed by a 42-yard pass from Steffans to Wedo and put the Pirates on the Warrior 18-yard line. A quarterback sack by the Warriors led to a Pirate field goal attempt and Hernandez banged home a 28-yarder to put Postville ahead 10-7. The big play fireworks continued as Bennington took the first hand off from scrimmage on the next Warrior series and bolted 78 yards untouched to put Central up 14-10. A fumble by the Pirates on the next possession saw the Warriors take over near their own 33-yard line. Two short running plays later and the clock ran out with the Pirates trailing at the half for the first time this season. 3rd Quarter (24-21) Postville took the second half kick-off and Pirate fans who made the trip to Elkader were treated to Riley Brockway’s second touchdown return of the season as the sophomore went 75 yards for the score. Coach Minikwu commented after the game, “That was huge for us. We had to come out and take the momentum and carry that on through the rest of the game.” Brockway’s score and Hernandez’s PAT put the Pirates up 17-14. Central answered right back as a pair of Bennington runs and two pass interference calls against Postville put the ball on the nine-yard line and the Warriors punched the ball in once again to regain the lead 21-17 at the 6:30 mark in the quarter. Postville proved up to the challenge as they marched 91 yards in 3:30 on their next possession. The passing game began to click as Steffans hit Brockway on a 23-yard slant play to the 43-yard line and came right back to Brockway on the next play for another 12 yards. After two Cody Jarmes carries, Steffans

Connecting on many of his passes, quarterback Zach Steffans (10) helped bring Postville closer to a victory against the Warriors last Friday night, September 16. Steffans capped his night with a quarterback keeper from the one-yard line, sealing the Pirate 30-21 win over Central-Elkader.

Holding the Line

After securing their 30-21 game-winning score at 7:03 in the fourth quarter, the Pirate Offensive Line made sure to keep the ball in their possession, ensuring a Postville victory, and Central Homecoming upset.

found Brockway wide open behind the Warrior defense for a 34-yard touchdown strike. After the PAT, the Pirates led 24-21.

4th Quarter (30-21) The pace of play slowed as both teams punted and Central entered the 4th quarter with the ball at the

Pirate 37-yard line. The Pirate defense stiffened and took over on downs as Bennington was stopped on back to back carries and the Warriors failed to convert on 4th-and-12. The Pirates sealed the victory with a drive that saw them once again mix the run with the pass. Jarmes

had four carries, Brandon Imoehl had a 14-yard run up the middle and Brockway caught two first-down passes from Steffans who capped off the drive by taking a quarterback keeper in from the one-yard line. The PAT was tipped at the line and Postville led 30-21 with 7:03 left in the game.

On the Warrior’s last possession of the night, Brockway intercepted his District-leading sixth pass of the season and the Pirates took over at their own 31yard line. The offensive line made sure the game stayed in Pirate hands from that point on as four first downs on

12 straight rushes by the Postville backfield saw the final five minutes tick off the clock and the game end at the Warrior 15-yard line. This Friday the Pirates are slated to take on East Buchanan at home beginning at 7 p.m.

The Event

Each year in Froelich, Iowa, members of the Froelich Foundation and many volunteers hold various events to give people a chance to discover and remember the contribution that John Froelich gave to America. According to Samantha Conner of the Froelich Foundation, this year’s Fall-der-All, set for Saturday and Sunday, September 24 and 25, will have even more family focused than in the past. Gates open at 8 a.m. both days. On both Saturday and Sunday there will be blacksmith demonstrations by Larry VaNetta and Jeff Barrett, polka music by Billy

Froelich gas engines, and in 1914 they introduced the first Waterloo Boy Tractor, and the company continued to become more successful in the following years. Deere and Company of Moline Illinois watched the Waterloo Engine Company with interest, and in 1918 Deere purchased the Waterloo Company and their facilities. Today, the Waterloo Tractor Works is one of the largest plants producing tractors in the United States, manufacturing the ever-popular green tractors. John Froelich lived from 1849 to 1933. At one time his namesake town was a thriving community sporting a depot, sawmill, blacksmith shop, a creamery, a post office, a hatchery, stockyards, ice house, barber shop, shipping warehouse and church. Today, visitors can see the original blueprints on display in the General Store, a replica of his tractor invention on display in the Blacksmith shop, stroll through the village being restored to 1800 culture, step back in time in the 1886 one-room Froelich School #5, visit the 1891 General Store museum (which still contains the post office), the 1800s shipping warehouse and more.

Roe, barrel rides, thrashing of oats and the displaying of old engines. A lunch stand will be open in the barn both days, serving turkey dressing sandwiches, brats, hot dogs, chili dogs, beans, applesauce, pie, ice cream, etc. On Saturday, there will be children’s activities throughout the day. At 10 a.m. Hoefer Family Kiddie Tractor Pull (ages four to 11) will begin, sponsored by Donlon Enterprises, Simon’s Trucking and the Connor Family. At about 11 a.m. the Northeast Iowa Classic Tractor Ride will be coming through. Throughout the day there will be Clip Clop wagon rides, rope making demonstrations, paint ball, giant sling shot target shooting, a cannon demonstration, and Jim Cowell semi truck replica rides. A barn dance will be held from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m, Saturday featuring Little Dale and the Legends. The dance is sponsored by FreedomBank.

the barn at 9 a.m. At 10:30 there will be an antique and mini tractor pull. Raffle tickets will be sold throughout the two days and the drawing will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday (need not be present to win). Conner says the events theme pretty much sums it all up, “come have fun with family and friends, while supporting history!” Admission is $5 for both days, with admission for children 12 and under free. The Froelich Foundation, a nonprofit organization established in 1986, has set a goal of preserving the heritage of the Froelich, Iowa. It was once a thriving community that boasted of a depot, sawmill, blacksmith shop, a creamery, a post office (still in the general store), a hatchery, stockyards, ice house, barber shop, shipping warehouse and church. Froelich is located about four miles East of Monona on Highway 18/52. For more information call (563) 536-2841 or email froelichfoundation@yahoo. com.

Two defending S-F Cougars scramble to block an attack by Lady Pirate Hannah Dougherty, partially hidden by the net and post, as her teammates Mariah Mostaert and Amber Schutte observe. Coach Becker had a change in the line ups, bringing four freshmen up to dress varsity. Though the Pirates had a perfect night serving the ball, they could not capitalize on the hitting. This caused the Blue Devils to sneak in with a win, 2511, following the first match. The second match got underway with the Lady Pirates determined to come away with a win. The girls set up big hitters like sophomore Hannah

Shaynaye Hendry and sophomore Alanda Fishback each recorded one. Mostaert led in assists with five, followed by Hendry with four and Wettleson with one. Junior Amanda Lage and sophomore Hannah Dougherty recorded two digs each, while Fishback, Mostaert and Schutte each tallied one. A single solo block and three block assists went to Bubiy, with Mostaert recording two block assists.

Wettleson, Hendry, Fishback and Schute each tallied a single block assist. The Lady Pirates took on long-time rivals, the Valley Tigers, Tuesday night, September 20, and will hit the road Thursday, September 22, as they go to Guttenberg to face the Clayton Ridge Eagles. The JV contest will start at 5:30 p.m. followed by the Varsity at 7 p.m. The varsity Lady Pirates will also travel to Decorah this Saturday, September 24, for an 8:30 a.m. tournament.
