Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation Giving Tree Project serves hundreds in Allamakee County; community involvement encouraged Every year for the past 17 years, thanks to a project started by NEICAC (Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation) Christmas has been a bit brighter for children in Allamakee County. Yes, through the program, hundreds of children have received Christmas gifts through the Giving Tree. Susan Troendle of NEICAC said, “The project started when Allamakee County Family Services had so many people asking for holiday help and we wanted to do what we could to help them give their

kids a good Christmas. From the onset we decided to call it the Allamakee Giving Tree.” According to the sponsors, each year through their efforts, and with the help of many, they are able to serve anywhere from 100 to 115 families which amounts to between 325 to 400 children. When asked how the children are identiﬁed, Troendle said, “We get our list from the children enrolled in Head Start and

FADSS. There are five Head Start classrooms in Allamakee County.” The Early Head Start Program, she added, is a home visitor program with several families involved. FADDS groups are families developing self-sufficiency and these families are on FIP which is a small monthly stipend paid to families with no income. She explained, “Families with children get into these programs based on Federal poverty income guidelines for our area.” In other words, all of the children and families being served have been identified as having a great need for assistance. When asked what gifts are needed for the children, she explained, “Each child in the family gets two outfits, socks and other necessities. They may also get boots and a coat. Along with the necessities, each child gets a special items that they have requested such as a toy or game.” All the donations received in Allamakee County stay in Allamakee County and anyone may get involved. To become involved with the Allamakee County Giving Tree

donors may adopt a single child or multiple children. If persons do not want to adopt a child, they may purchase individual toys and items which will be used to fill in where needed. Businesses may also help by placing a Giving Tree with tags in their store or shop. Those not wishing to shop may give cash donations. There are currently Giving Trees with tags at the Dollar General Stores in Postville and Waukon where residents may choose a specific gift to brighten the Christmas for area children. The deadline to donate to this worthwhile project is December 22. For more information people are encouraged to call NEICAC at (563) 568-4224 or (563) 379-2776 and visit with Susan Troendle or Marissa Kruse. In Waukon NEICAC is located at 953 3rd Avenue NW and in Postville the office is at 134 W. Greene Street. In conclusion Troendle said, “Any involvement big or small we appreciate it all! Through the efforts of so many we are able to brighten the lives of area children. Merry Christmas.”

This rustic holiday decor is one of the many items up for auction.

Some of the events include photo opportunities with Santa Claus, cookies and cider. While visiting with Santa, children may have their pictures taken. On Friday evening individuals can sign-up for group canvas painting or by calling the YMCA. On Saturday morning everyone can enjoy cookie decorating. Silent auction items will be available to bid on with all proceeds going toward new equipment at the YMCA. A few of the Silent Auction items include, but are not limited to, hand painted screens and windows and a set of Longeberger mugs with lids, and much, much more.

Commercial manure applicators should plan to attend the Commercial Manure Applicator training program scheduled for Thursday, January 5, 2017, from 9 a.m. to noon. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will conduct the required threehour training workshop at that time. There is no fee to attend the workshop, but commercial applicators must register by December 28 by contacting the ISU Extension and Outreach Allamakee County office at (563) 568-6345. Commercial manure applicators needing to recertify and those wanting to certify for the first time should attend. The workshop will provide the required three hours of annual training and will cover rules for applicators as well as land-application requirements, water sources, reading and using a MMPs, manure application uniformity, equipment transport, injector options, biosecurity, and manure and hydrogen sulfide safety. All currently certified commercial manure applicator licenses will expire on March 1, 2017. Commercial applicators can attend training throughout the year, but if they were previously

certified, they should plan to attend training and submit the forms and fees to DNR prior to March 1, 2017, to avoid paying the late fees. Certification fees for commercial manure applicators have not changed for 2017. ISU Extension and Outreach will charge a $10 fee to applicators choosing to view the certification materials on a non-scheduled reshow day at the county office. For this reason, all applicators are encouraged to attend the workshops or to plan to view training materials on the scheduled reshow date at their local county extension office. The fee will not apply to workshops or scheduled reshow dates. Please contact your county extension offices to determine which days are scheduled for the manure applicator certification programs. Due to scheduling conflicts, many county extension offices will no longer accept walk-in appointments to watch the training DVDs. If attending the Jan. 5 commercial manure applicator program or watching the threehour DVD is not convenient, commercial applicators may contact their local DNR field office to schedule an appointment to take the certification exam. In addition to needing an appointment to take the exam, applicators must bring a pencil and photo i.d., and should plan to bring a calculator. Applicators have another

From county to county, philanthropy is shaping the future of Iowa through annual endowment payouts and grants. Throughout the state, community foundations are celebrating more than ten years of the County Endowment Fund Program. This initiative, unique to Iowa, makes grants to create a strong community foundation infrastructure in 84 counties like Allamakee that do not hold state-issued gaming licenses. The program was created by the Iowa Legislature in 2004 and is funded through a percentage of state gaming revenues. “These programs provide essential dollars for our community,” said Foundation Coordinator Betty Steege. “Paired

with the generosity of caring donors and the support of local leaders, the County Endowment Fund Program helps us shape a strong future for tomorrow.” Each year, the Allamakee County Community Foundation (ACCF) receives funds from the County Endowment Fund Program. The ACCF grants out 75 percent of these funds and invests the remaining 25 percent in a permanent endowment that generates interest to be distributed in future years. This year, these dollars will support over $97,000 in grants to local nonproﬁt organizations in Allamakee County. These grants annually support causes ranging from schools, churches, libraries, ball ﬁelds, and parks

Starting December 1, eligible Allamakee County nonprofits can apply for 2017 funding. Applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, church, school or government. Other nonprofits with charitable projects may also qualify but must partner with a qualified application that will serve as a fiscal sponsor. The maximum application request is $20,000. Guidelines and the application are available at the Foundation’s website www. dbqfoundation.org/accf. The applications will begin December 1 and will be due January 31 at midnight. For more information, call 563.586.2046 or visit www. dbqfoundation.org/accf.

Prevent holiday weight gain JILL FLEMING

MS, RD; VETERANS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Let the holidays begin! Starting with Thanksgiving, many of us will attend several social events and parties up through New Year’s Day. It is tempting to just throw in the towel on our healthy eating and exercise plans until next year, but don’t do it! Avoid eating to the point of feeling “stuffed” at Thanksgiving dinner. The key is to avoid the “all-ornothing” way of thinking. If you tell yourself that you can eat, drink and be merry with reckless abandon for 6 weeks, you will pay for it later. Starting a new healthy eating plan January 1st sounds like a good idea, but why would you want to start it with an extra 10 pounds? The New England Journal of Medicine published ﬁndings from a Tuff’s University study on weight gain during the holidays. It found that those who were already overweight were likely to gain more weight during the 6-week holiday period than those who were considered average weight. Here are some simple strategies to help prevent holiday weight gain: 1. Take a walk most mornings. This is even more important on the day of a social gathering. Even a 10-minute walk will release the feel-good endorphins that will help

of Garnavillo were named this year’s Honorary 4-H Members. This year the Awards of the Clover were presented to dedicated 4-H volunteers who have served 5, 10, 15, and 20 years. Recognized for 5 years were Sharon Cunningham, Guttenberg; Betty Drips, Arlington; Lori Farmer, Strawberry Point; Aaron Hamann,Strawberry Point; Shanna Hamann, Strawberry Point; Marlene Hefel, Holy Cross; Kristin Klingman, Strawberry Point; Jody Krugger, Volga; Tracy Kurdelmeyer, Clermont & Tracey Romig, Edgewood. Honored for 10 years of service were Cheryl Harms, Monona; Patrick Harms, Monona; Vicky Hefner, McGregor; Amanda Keppler, St. Olaf; Patience Kober, Luana; Jill Lueken, Colesburg; Michelle Moser, Elkader & Dennis Wolter, Garnavillo. Judi Althoff

& William Althoff of Edgewood were recognized for 15 years of volunteering. Aaron Adney celebrated 20 years of volunteer service. Club Ofﬁcer Awards were presented to Emma Kerns, Woodcenter Eagles; Ashley Wessel, Woodberry Clovers; Westin Rowcliffe, Lodomillo Leaders and Pierce Harbaugh, Marion Happy Hustlers. Intermediate and senior 4-H members competed for project awards. Emma Ehlers of the Woodcenter Eagles won Citizenship and a Horse project award. Mia Gibson a member of the Marion Happy Hustlers won a Sewing award. Two special awards were given to 4-H’ers who scored well on their award applications and interviews. Emma Ehlers, Edgewood and Mia

control stress. If you have eaten a large meal, take a short walk to help digest your food and regulate your blood sugar level. 2. Eat a breakfast that includes some protein and vegetables on the morning of a social event. Maybe a veggie omelet or a peanut-butter & banana smoothie (add a handful of fresh spinach). This helps stabilize blood sugar and control your appetite all day long. 3. Eat before the party. Yes, having a snack 1-2 hours before the party will help you feel in control of your appetite once you get there. It will be easier for you to be more selective in your food choices later. 4. Socialize away from the buffet table. Once you have a plate of food, move away from the table and sit down to eat. 5. Eat like a food connoisseur. Really taste everything that you eat. The enjoyment of eating occurs in your mouth… not your stomach. 6. Don’t eat anything that you really don’t want to eat. Just because Aunt Elsie made your favorite pie for you, it doesn’t mean you need to eat the whole thing. 7. Alternate any adult beverages with water. For each cup of holiday cheer you drink, you should drink a cup of water. This will help prevent dehydration, which is the main reason you don’t feel well after a night of celebrating. It will also slow down consumption & dilute your alcohol calories in half. Follow these simple guidelines to enjoy the holidays without gaining extra weight. Once the New Year is here, you can refocus

your efforts on losing weight again. For now, your goal should be to maintain your current weight. Enjoy your holiday season guilt free this year! For more information, or to register for the upcoming weight loss class at Veterans Memorial Hospital starting in January, please call the Veterans Memorial Hospital Nutrition Services Department at (563) 568-3411.

‘What’s New in County 22?’ Mike Tschirgi

Clayton County Sheriff I would like to express my extreme gratitude towards everyone that has brought our department thank you notes, treats and goodies! We have been receiving an outpouring of community support recently in the wake of the two Des Moines area cops that lost their lives recently, Justin Martin and Sgt. Anthony Beminio. Four of my employees went to the services on their own time to show their appreciation to their fellow officers. We are continuing to wear our mourning badges with the black band across our badge until December 2nd as instructed by the ISSDA board. We truly appreciate your support! With winter approaching us I would like to remind drivers to be careful. We have yet to have our first snowfall of the year and maybe

it’s superstition but it seems like we have more cars in the ditch after the first snowfall then other times of the year. Snowplows are out there to clear the roads so we have safer traveling. Here are some tips on snowplow safety from the Iowa DOT: • When overtaking a snowplow, be aware that snowplows often travel only 5 – 35 mph. When you spot a snowplow ahead, slow down to reduce speed differential. • Snowplows may need to stop or take evasive action to avoid stranded vehicles. Maintain a safe following distance and be prepared to stop. • Be cautious in areas of blowing snow as it could conceal a snowplow. • If you do pass a snowplow, be sure that you have a clear vision ahead before passing. Allow plenty of room when passing, and don’t cut in too quickly. On two lane roads, drivers will pull over periodically to let vehicles pass. • On multi lane roads, watch for

plows operating in the left lane. Never pass a snowplow on the right. Many snowplows are equipped with a wing blade that expands to the right and may be hidden by blowing snow. • Don’t attempt to pass a snowplow when visibility is severely reduced. • Move as far away from the centerline of the pavement as you safely can when meeting a snow plow on a two-lane road. The plow may be trying to catch the middle of the road. Also if you do get stuck or go into the ditch, give dispatch a call. If you get a ride, please call dispatch right away and let us know so #1 we know that you are safe, and #2 it gives us a chance to ask you what wrecker you would like before we go ahead and call one for you. Let’s have a safe winter for everyone! And if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me anytime, e-mail me at mtschirgi@ claytoncountyia.gov, or stop by to see me.

Spillville to receive new river forecast service The National Weather Service (NWS) in La Crosse is pleased to announce the commencement of river forecasting services along the Turkey River in Winneshiek County Iowa, effective January 27, 2017. This new official forecast point for the Turkey River is located on the north edge of Spillville, and forecasts will be issued for the river at that location. These new forecasts will also describe river conditions from upstream west of the Ridgeway area, downstream to near Fort Atkinson. The forecasts will be issued on an as needed basis, when rainfall or snowmelt is expected to cause river levels to rise significantly, and pose a possible threat. River monitoring has been done at Spillville for many years, dating back to 1956. After a hiatus during much of the 90s, automated equipment was reinstalled by the US Geological Survey in the spring of 2010. Data from this location is used in National Weather Service river models to assist with the forecast of river levels downstream at Elkader and Garber. With this change, forecast levels will now also be available for the Spillville area as well. There will be no other changes to river forecasting services along the Turkey River at this time. Flood stage for this Spillville

location will be 9 feet on the river gage. The gauge equipment is owned and operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Water Science Center in Iowa City, IA. Data from the river gauge are transmitted via automated satellite links to NWS offices. River forecasts are then generated at the North Central River Forecast Center in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and after coordination, are issued by the National Weather Service in La Crosse. These forecasts use past and forecast rainfall or snowmelt in the area, as well as temperatures and soil conditions, as input to a hydrologic model to predict changes in river levels. Data and forecasts for the Turkey River and other rivers around the area can be viewed on

the NWS La Crosse website at: http://www.weather.gov/arx under the “River Info/AHPS” tab. AHPS is the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service, which is part of a NWS-wide effort to improve flood forecasting. Visitors to this website can view current river stages, forecasts out to 7 days, maps, historical information, and probabilistic forecasts out to 90 days. River forecasts during flooding will also be available via NOAA weather radio station KXI60 near Decorah (162.525 MHz). For questions or additional information please contact Mike Welvaert, Service Hydrologist at the La Crosse NWS Office (608) 784-8275 x493 or mike.welvaert@ noaa.gov.

Leaders Are Servants "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Shepherd of the Hills sponsoring their ‘Christmas Just 4 Kids’ project Shepherd of the Hills Conference Ministry will again be sponsoring their ‘Christmas Just 4 Kids’ project. This effort is combined with the Department of Human Services, Community Action, HAWC partnerships for children, FADSS, VNA, General Assistance, Early Head Start, Substance Abuse, Alternative Services, LSI, your local pastor, school teacher, or doctor. The Holiday Shop will be stocked with new donated gifts toys, games, quilts, bath towels, etc. Their goal this year is to provide a hand sewn or new pillowcase, pillow, pajamas, quilt or blanket, bath towel, socks, underwear, stocking cap and mittens (all have to be new) to every child with

In order to be a good leader one must be willing to be a servant. Government officials and political leaders who do their job well invariably stress that they are public servants and therefore take pains to actually serve and benefit the public. Religious leaders must do the same, serving their flocks as a good shepherd does his sheep. Jesus did not consider it beneath him to wash the feet of his apostles on the night before he was arrested. And in our working lives, we all know that the best managers and supervisors aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and serve their employees almost in the same way that a loving parent serves his or her children, educating them and helping them when necessary with difficult tasks. We are all called to serve God by serving our fellow man and in the process of doing so we lead by example. Don’t consider it beneath you to serve others. Service to others is our highest calling. – Christopher Simon

Pirate boys open the season with wins against Starmont and West Central Clayton County 4-H & FFA market Chad Drahn

Herald sports (Editor’s Note: Congrats to Coach Mike Sass and his wife, Kari on the birth of their daughter, Quinn Marie as she is welcomed into the Pirate family.) at Waukon The Pirates opened the season last week at Waukon where they lost to the larger and more experienced Indian team by a score of 43 to76. Starters for the Pirates were Owen Jacobson, Nash Reicks, Aboody Abdullahi, Blake Wettleson and Jacob Steffans. Avery Enyart, Nick Jacobs and Abdikani Osman came in off the bench. Coach Mike Sass said, “The game started out quite well for us. We were able to make some shots and force some turnovers. We got out to a bit of a lead and were only down by one at the end of the first quarters.” The Pirates were playing hard, trying to match the Indian’s intensity, while taking care of the ball. Although things started well, the Pirates were not able to keep up the pace. Sass commented, “The offense did some good things, but we weren’t consistent enough. We missed a lot of lay ups and free throws which you cannot do when playing a bigger school like Waukon.” Leading scorers were Steffans and Jacobson. Wettleson and Reicks also did well to contribute to the offense. The defense, Sass said, “Was good at times but just wasn’t consistent enough. I think we kind of ran out of gas at times. We wanted to try and bring up our intensity in the second half to what it was at the beginning of the game, but we weren’t able to get that done. This game always teaches our guys how hard you have to play in varsity basketball. Hopefully, this game will be beneficial as we move forward.” at Starmont Tuesday the Pirates traveled to Starmont where they got their first win as they defeated the Stars, 52 to 43. Starters were Jacobson, Steffans, Wettleson, Reicks and Aboody. Jacobs, Enyart and Harrison Dehning came in off the bench. The Pirates started out well as

Is it a cold or the flu? A UIeCare health expert shares the differences between common cold and flu symptoms Waking up with the sniffles, a cough and a fever is common this time of year. But how do you know if it’s just a common cold or the flu? Knowing the difference is important because the flu can become much more serious, says a University of Iowa Health Care expert. “It can be difficult to tell whether you have a cold or the flu because the two can share a lot of the same symptoms,” said Patrick D. Brophy, MD, MHCDS, professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa and medical director for UIeCare. “It’s important to know the difference,

Pirate defense The Pirates played strong defense in the game at Starmont last week to come away with the win. Pictured here showing their defensive skills are Owen Jacobson, Nick Jacobs, Blake Wettleson and Jacob Steffans.

they followed their game plan. Coach Sass said, “We came out and played hard and forced turnovers. On offense we wanted to be patient against their zone and get open shots. The offense played well when we didn’t get in a hurry. A few times against their press we got in a hurry and turned the ball over. But, when

we didn’t do that, we executed pretty well. We are working on shooting our free throws better.” Scoring was balanced in this game as all five starters did well and made shots when needed. About the defense Sass added, “I thought our defense was quite good. We forced quite a few turnovers. However, we reached in too much and fouled too much. Sometimes, we bailed them out with some bad fouls by our guys. In the second half we tried to take away the middle when we were on defense.” After the game Sass said, “I thought Dehning did a nice job of coming in during the fourth quarter to handle the ball for us. It kind of settled us down when we were making some turnovers.” at West Central (Editor’s Note: This game was coached by Assistant Coach Aandi Deering as Coach Sass was busy welcoming his new daughter)

because the flu can cause serious complications, especially for young children, people over age 65, and pregnant women.” While both a cold and the flu are respiratory viruses, the severity of an illness and how it unfolds can provide clues to help tell them apart. A cold is usually mild, lasting only a few days, and causes symptoms predominately above the neck. The flu is more severe, comes on suddenly, and causes symptoms throughout the entire body. This cold and flu season, Dr. Brophy from UIeCare shares some common cold and flu symptoms to help determine the difference. • Fever. Both illnesses can cause a fever, but it’s more common with the flu. Colds may cause a low-grade fever, but fevers with the flu can be 102 degrees or more and can persist for three or four days. • Headache. Headaches rarely accompany a cold, but are common with the flu. • Aches and pains. Achiness is typically mild with a cold and often severe with the flu.

The Pirates traveled to Maynard to face West Central over the weekend and came away with the 55-42 win. Starters on the court were Jacob Steffans, Owen Jacobson, Blake Wettleson, Nash Reicks, and Aboody Abdullahi. Acting head coach Aandi Deering said, “Everyone came off the bench and had a positive role in the

• Fatigue. Mild tiredness sometimes occurs with colds, but the flu usually starts with a period of exhaustion and fatigue lasting up to three weeks. • Sneezing, stuffy nose, and sore throat. These are the most frequent symptoms of a cold, but can also occur with the flu. • Chest discomfort and cough. These symptoms are generally mild to moderate with colds, but can be severe with the flu. “Whether you have a cold or the flu, it’s important to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. If you feel weak, have difficulty breathing, or run a high fever, you should see a doctor,” Brophy said. “If you are unsure whether an illness requires a doctor’s visit, it is best to err on the side of caution. New virtual care services make it easy to see a doctor from the comfort of home.” UIeCare, one of Iowa’s first virtual care services, makes it possible for Iowans to see a University of Iowa Health Carecredentialed provider via a webcam or smart phone from anywhere in

outcome of the game.” The game started out well for the Pirates as West Central struggled with the Postville defense which forced them into turnovers and the Pirates were able to capitalize on the turnovers. Deering said, “Our game plan was to control their returning guard Brady Forsythe and limit his ability to drive to the basket and also to play the game to our highest ability.” At halftime the Pirates were ahead 30-20. Following halftime the Pirates were able to step up their offense. Deering explained, “Wettleson really stepped up his game in the second half, on both offense and defense. It was really good to see him step and play the way he is capable of all of the time.” Offensively, the Pirates started out pretty well hitting some three’s and getting some quick buckets off steals. Deering said, “We did miss a few lay-ups and a few bunny’s from the paint which allowed West Central to come back a little. Steffans, Aboody and Avery Enyart all had key three’s which opened up the inside game. Wettleson and Reicks each had a great second half from the paint and started to really work hard inside. This shooting was really good to see.” Leading the scoring were Wettleson, 19; Jacobson, 13; Reicks, 8; Steffans, 7 and Aboody and Enyart had three each. Nick Jacobs added two. Jacobson was three for four from the line and Jacobs was two for two. Deering added, “Our defense came out strong and then flattened out in the middle of the second quarter. We struggled with moving our feet. We also struggled with team rebounding for most of the second quarter.” About halftime adjustments the coach said, “At half time we had to switch up our defense in order to get our feet moving more and to get everyone to crash the boards, after switching to man to man we really started pressuring the ball and forcing turnovers which resulted in us getting transition points, we started to attack the inside and our posts stepped up and really started to score and clean up the boards.” This week the Pirates were slated to host Kee High on Tuesday at home and will also be at home on Friday as they play Turkey Valley.

Jesup Tournament Saturday the team traveled to Jesup for their ﬁrst tournament of the year. Coach Schultz said, “ The goal as a team going into Saturday was to win the tournament as 2007 was the last year we had done that. We knew we were going to have to wrestle hard all day. We came up two matches too short and ﬁnished in second place by nine points. Yet, we still had a lot of good things happen. As a coaching staff we were pleased. We had 12 guys wrestling varsity and came home with nine medals” Team scores were as follows: 1. New Hampton, 350.0 2. Postville, 341.0 3. Jesup, 302.0 4. Riceville, 251.0 5. West Branch, 164.0 6. Central Elkader, 145.0 Postville wrestlers did an outstanding job on the day. Camarillo, Aldo Gonzalez, and Spain all went undefeated on the day.
