Supervisors approve architect for
jail/public safety center project
Climate change may be helping
outdoor insects, poison ivy thrive
by Bob Beach
During the regular
meeting of the Allamakee
County Board of Supervisors
Tuesday, August 19, the
Board met with Allamakee
County Sheriff Clark
Mellick, who reported that
the Public Safety Center
Committee had interviewed
an engineering rm and
three architectural rms and
had agreed to recommend
Rick Weidner, AIA of
Bennington, NE to develop
plans and specications for
the construction of a new jail
and public safety center.
Mellick said that Weidner
has extensive experience in
jail design and has worked
with the County's contracted
jail consultant, John Hansen
of Midwest Construction
Consultants, on numerous
similar projects. The Board
accepted the Committee's
recommendation and
approved a contract with Rick
Weidner, AIA that includes
$8,500 for the initial plans
and drawings and 6.35% of

prepared.
In the ongoing effort
to try to connect the dots
on the effects of global
climate change, a report just
released from the National
Wildlife Federation (NWF)
suggests global warming is
contributing to an increase
in deer tick and mosquito
populations, in addition to a
stronger, more potent strain
of poison ivy and higher
pollen counts. (See nwf.org
for full report)
Last week, the NWF
facilitated a conference call
with state media, attended
by Joe Wilkinson, past
president of the Iowa Wildlife
Federation; Frank Szollosi,
NWF regional outreach; and
Dr. Yogesh Shah, associate
dean for global health at

Mellick also reported
that Hansen, Weidner and
the Committee agreed to
work towards getting a bond
referendum on the ballot for
this year's general election in
November. Mellick said that
the project cost would not
exceed $4.9 million and that
the bond referendum would
require 60% approval by
voters in order to pass.
Allamakee County
Auditor and Commissioner
of Elections Denise Beyer
said that the deadline for
information to be printed on
the ballots for the November
election is September 5. The
Board directed Allamakee
County Attorney Jill Kistler
to develop a timeline to ensure
that all deadlines can be met
for the bond referendum.
The Board met with Case
Management Director Kim
Waters, who presented the
Board with contracts for
mental health and substance
abuse services. The Board
approved a contract with
Northeast Iowa Behavioral

the release of NWFs
Health for $160 per day,
two days per week, for
mental health services at

in Waukon. The Board also
approved a contract with
Mercy Medical Center in
Mason City for substance
abuse services at $800 per
day.
The Board also met
with Allamakee County
Engineer Brian Ridenour,
who presented the Board
with price quotes for the
installation of an emergency
generator for the radio tower
across Highway 9 from
Makee Manor. On Ridenour's
recommendation, the Board
approved the low bid of
$21,900 from Walsh Electric
in Waukon, which includes
full installation, an LP tank
and a two-year, 400-hour
warranty. Ridenour said
that there may be additional
charges from Alliant Energy

warns the report.
EVERYONE AFFECTED
Wilkinson said Iowa
will not be immune to the
problem. Climate change
is not so subtle anymore. By
now everybodys heard of it
and its become a matter of
what are we going o do about
it and when, he said.

Kee baseball coach Gene Schultz brings legendary career
to completion with announcement of his retirement
It's been labeled the "end
of an era." But the man it
means the most to calls it "the
beginning of a new chapter."
Gene Schultz, the
legendary coach of Kee
High School baseball for
the past 45 years and the
nation's all-time winningest
high school baseball coach,
had his retirement from that
long-time helm made ofcial
Monday, August 18 with the
acceptance of his letter of
resignation by the Eastern
Allamakee Community
School District Board of
Directors at its regular
monthly meeting. That
retirement brings to a close a
coaching career likely never
to be rivaled with an overall
record of 1,754 wins against
just 398 losses, but also opens
the door to a number of other
possibilities for Schultz and
his family.
"It was time to come to this
decision," Schultz said. "And
it's not because I don't want
to coach baseball anymore,
but more because there are
so many other things that I
want to do and will now have
more time to do. I'm going
to just relax for a while, get
settled into our new home in
La Crescent (MN), our rst
grandchild is coming along
in the near future, and I just
plan to enjoy some quality
time with the years I have
left. I'm also going to try to
gure out what this game
of golf is all about, and that
should certainly keep me on
my toes."
That move to La Crescent,
MN within this past year has
allowed for his wife, Julie,
to have her drive time to
work dwindled signicantly,
something Schultz says is
long overdue for her and
well-deserved. "For 37 years
my wife drove from Lansing
to Gundersen where she
works, and with our move
to La Crescent this past year
I've gotten a small taste of
what she's had to go through
with that drive for the past 37
years," Schultz said. "That
drive for me this summer back
to New Albin, and even all the
way back to Lansing early in
the season because we played
our home games in Lansing
until the eld in New Albin
was ready, certainly wears
on you. And it's probably
time for someone else to take
over and enjoy the program
that has given so much to
me. They say all good things
must come to an end. Well,
it's time for someone else to
experience more good things
with this program."
Although Coach Schultz
did not want to speculate
on who might have that
opportunity, he did say that
a likely place to start looking
would be within the existing
coaching staff. "It's not
going to be up to me, that's
a decision the school district
will be making," he said,
adding that he'd be glad to
provide any input into that
decision if asked.
Bob Wellendorf, a former
assistant coach under Schultz
and Kee High School Athletic
Director, as well as a long-
time friend, says replacement
of a coach like Schultz is not
an enviable position. "That's
a huge role to try and ll,"
Wellendorf said. "It could be
a great opportunity for the
right individual, but it will be
difcult to nd a replacement
with as much dedication and
knowledge of the game. They
threw away that mold after
they made Gene."
Wellendorf said he initially
met the eventual legendary
coach when Schultz rst
came to Lansing in 1969,
and then rst coached under
him in the early 1980s as
a baseball and basketball
assistant before becoming
Kee's athletic director prior
to his own retirement. "What
an amazing opportunity for
me," Wellendorf said. "I
know I would not have ended
up where I did if not for
him. He taught me so much,
his knowledge of baseball,
basketball - all sports, really -
is just incredible."
Wellendorf said his
initial reaction to Schultz's
retirement decision was one
of surprise. "I thought maybe
he would hang in there at
least one more year, I know
he wanted to try and see the
(Shooky Fink) eld project to
completion," he said. "But I
also know that there are other
things he wants to do in life,
and now he'll have more time
to do those things."
COMPLIMENTARY
CO-LEGEND
Likewise surprised was
another area baseball coach
of legendary status who
sits just behind Schultz on
the nation's all-time career
coaching victories list for
high school baseball. Fifty-
plus-year Decorah High
School baseball coach Dennis
Olejniczak said of Schultz's
decision to retire, "I was
somewhat surprised when
I rst heard and read that
Coach Schultz had announced
his retirement, knowing how
much he loves the game. But
he has certainly earned his
retirement from coaching
baseball. I am honored to
extend my congratulations to
Gene on his retirement."
With Olejniczak's 1,341
career coaching victories
second only to Schultz at the
national level, and likely to
never overtake that record, the
long-time Decorah skipper
has developed a tremendous
amount of respect for his
veteran colleague. "Without
a doubt, Gene has had a
tremendous impact on the
quality of baseball in the
state of Iowa at the high
school level," Olejniczak
commented. "He had a way
of preparing his teams in such
a manner that they would
never beat themselves. You
always had to play some of
A case of legendary proportions ...
Legendary Kee baseball coach Gene Schultz stands
beside a case in his home that holds the baseballs repre-
senting each of his 100-milestone victories prior to career
win number 1,700 recorded early in the 2013 season.
Schultz announced his retirement from his legendary
45-year career at the helm of the Hawk diamond program
last week, completing a career record of 1,754-398.
Betty Troendle inducted into Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame
Betty Troendle of
Allamakee County was
inducted into the 2014 Iowa
4-H Hall of Fame during a
ceremony at the 4-H Exhibits
Building at the Iowa State
Fair in Des Moines Sunday,
August 17. A total of 82
counties participated this
year and 110 inductees
were recognized for their
outstanding service and
dedication to 4-H. Inductees
or their surviving family
members were presented a
certicate by the Iowa 4-H
Foundation as they were
introduced on stage and
honored at a reception that
followed the ceremony.
Betty's contribution to
4-H was widely felt, said
Morgan Heim, Allamakee
County 4-H Youth Co-
Coordinator. "Betty has
taught her children well and
inuenced them to give back
to their communities. Her
hard work, heart of gold, and
willingness to always help out
has inuenced many youth
throughout her 4-H career in
Allamakee County."
Troendles service to the
4-H program emphasizes
the mission of the 4-H Hall
of Fame. She has touched
many lives through her
dedication, encouragement,
commitment, and guidance
to the Allamakee County 4-H
Program.
Counties select inductees
for their exceptional work in
contributing to the lives of
4-H members and the overall
4-H program, said Heim.
Many inductees served as
club leaders, youth mentors,
fair superintendents or fair
board members, Iowa State
University Extension county
council members, county
youth council members, fair
judges, nancial supporters,
chaperones or ISU Extension
and Outreach staff members.
The inductees have
demonstrated dedication,
encouragement, commitment
and guidance to Iowas
4-Hers through the years.
This is a wonderful
opportunity for the counties
and state to recognize and
celebrate 4-H volunteers
and staff who are committed
to Iowas youth and the
4-H Youth Development
program, said Chris
Gleason, 4-H youth program
specialist with ISU Extension
and Outreach.

Beatrice Albert
Our beautiful Mother,
Grandmother, and Great-
Grandmother Beatrice
Mary (Pedretti) Albert, 91
years young, passed away
peacefully with her much
loved and grateful children
by her side August 15, 2014
(the Feast of the Assumption)
in Olympia, WA.
A celebration of Beatrices
life will be held at St.
Michaels Catholic Church,
1021 Boundary Street
SE, Olympia, WA Friday,
October 10 at 11 a.m. with
burial immediately following
at Calvary Cemetery on the
3800 block of Cleveland
Avenue SE, Olympia, WA,
followed by a reception at
Pellegrinos Event Center,
5757 Littlerock Rd SW,
Tumwater, WA.
Beatrice (Bea) was born
in Genoa, WI to Stephen and
Mary Ursula Pedretti. She
was the youngest of eight
children and, even though her
mother passed away when
she was ve years old, the
memories she had of a loving
farm family were wonderful.
After graduating from St.
Charles Borromeo Grade
School in Genoa, Beatrice
attended Aquinas High
School in La Crosse, WI.
She quickly distinguished
herself in creative writing
skills, especially in the area
of poetry. Just after the start
of her junior year Beatrices
father took ill and she
returned to Genoa to care
for him and transferred to
Lansing High School just
across the Mississippi River
in Lansing. Upon graduation
from high school, Beatrice
attended the College of
Saint Teresa in Winona, MN.
Beatrice earned a Bachelor of
Arts degree that eventually
allowed her to pursue her
love of teaching.
Beatrice married William
(Bill) Albert June 17, 1946.
This was the start of a caring,
loving partnership that lasted
over 60 years. Beatrice and
Bill lived in Ames while he
nished his college education
at Iowa State and where the
rst of their eight children
was born. Beatrice enjoyed
a successful teaching career
that included Saint Joseph
Grade School in Downers
Grove, IL, Christ the King
Grade School in Richland,
WA, working with special
needs children in the San
Francisco Bay Area, and
teaching in Vietnamese
refugee camps in the
Philippines, before retiring
with Bill in Olympia, WA.
She dearly loved her students
and could name almost all of
them by memory.
Beatrice enjoyed family
gatherings/reunions, RVing,
sewing, making beautiful
quilts, writing cards and
letters, taking long walks,
creating beautiful photo
albums with photos taken
by Bill, and giving all of her
family equal special attention.
She had a deep faith in God
rooted in her Catholic faith.
Beatrice was the very best
wife, mother, grandparent
Ina Pederson
Ina K. Pederson, 89, of
Waterville died Tuesday,
August 19, 2014 at Good
Samaritan Center in Waukon.
Funeral services were held
Saturday, August 23 at St.
Paul Evangelical Lutheran
Church in McGregor,
with Pastor Andrew Preus
ofciating. Burial was at East
Paint Creek Synod Cemetery,
Waterville.
Ina Karen Pederson was
the daughter of Dr. Jacob
and Ella (Johnson) Deal.
She was born at the farm
home December 8, 1924.
The farm, known then as the
Jake Deal 80, was located one
mile north of Rossville. As a
young girl, Ina made the walk
to and from the farm to attend
the rst and second grades at
the Rossville School which
she loved.
In 1934, after the death
of her father, her mother
moved Ina, her sister and two
brothers to live in Waterville.
Ina attended school there
through the ninth grade and
later completed her schooling
earning her Iowa G.E.D.
When a teenager, Ina met
the love of her life, Amos
Pederson. They hit it off
becoming good at skating
at the popular Pavilion at
Waterville. They married
December 21, 1941 at a
Lutheran Parsonage in
Decorah - a marriage and love
lasting 71 years-plus. For a
time they lived in Newton
and Ypsilanti, MI, and then
moved back to Waterville
where they settled in and
raised their four children.
In 1948 they purchased
Inas grandparents' house
in Waterville, a home they
shared for over 64 years. In
her 80s, Ina continued to
care for Amos at home until
his passing away March 11,
2012.
Ina devoted her life to
being a wife and mother,
spending many years taking
care of the family and seeing
that the children were brought
up in the Christian faith. Ina
was employed at Northern
Engraving in Waukon for 18
years, retiring in 1987.
Ina was baptized and
conrmed at the East Paint
Creek Synod Lutheran
Church. Ina was a faithful
member there and was active
for many years in the Ladies
Aid, Altar Guild and with
teaching Saturday school and
Bible school. In 2010 Ina and
Amos became members of
St. Pauls Lutheran Church in
McGregor and were thankful
and felt blessed to be a part of
Gods family there.
Traveling was a special
part of Inas life with
memories of taking the train
from Waterville to Chicago,
traveling by bus to Michigan
along with a quick trip into
Canada as a young girl. Ina
and Amos enjoyed traveling
and seeing family, whether
by car, setting up camp in
the Black Hills and Rockies,
by pick-up and camper or by
Amtrak. Many trips to spend
time with family in central
Iowa also brought them good

Junior Miss Corn Days court ...
Bailey Shafer (center in above photo), daughter of Bill and Beth Shafer of Waukon,
was crowned Junior Miss Corn Days at the ceremony held Friday, August 15 as part of
Waukon Corn Days 2014. Also competing for this year's crown were Taylor Peterson
(at left), daughter of Jesse and Amanda Peterson of Waukon, and Allie Bieber (at right),
daughter of Ed and Amy Bieber of Waukon. A major factor in the contest judging was
an essay each contestant was required to submit entitled "What It Means To Me To Live
In Allamakee County." Shafer's winning essay reads as follows:
"It means a lot to me to be a resident of Allamakee County. I have been to many other places, but
Allamakee has been by far the best!
One thing that means a lot to me are the people. One day my cousin and I were coming home from
our grandparents' house and two people stopped to say "hi". He asked me how everybody knew me and
I said everybody knows everybody around here! It's also really nice when you go to the grocery store
to get one thing and you end up staying there longer than you expected talking to someone!
Living in Allamakee County means I can enjoy four different seasons. Each season brings different
things. During the winter months, there's nothing better than going sledding at the fairgrounds on a
snowy day. During Spring I love to go mushroom hunting at the family farm. Summer brings warmer
weather and vegetables fresh from our garden. Nothing is better than biting into that rst ear of
Allamakee grown sweet corn! Fall brings the spectacular landscape of leaves changing color. Leaves
aren't only for looking, they're fun to jump in too!
Living in Allamakee County means you can go to or see many beautiful places. My favorite places
in Allamakee are near or on the Mississippi River and at our family's farm. The Mississippi is great
because you see many Eagles soaring around. I also enjoy intertubing behind our boat. At the farm I
enjoy watching wildlife, especially deer, four-wheeling with my dad, creek stomping, and climbing on
rocks.
It means so much to me to be able to call Allamakee County my home. It isn't just one thing that
makes this county of ours great, but many different things!

PLCs within the school dis-
tricts' systems. These PLCs
use a format of questions and
student data to allow teachers
to help students at all levels.
By systematically looking
at where kids are using data
from common assignments
and assessments, educators
can then adjust their teach-
ing strategies to provide ad-
ditional supports, enrichment
lessons and activities to meet
the educational needs of all
students.
The collaborative learn-
ing opportunity was made
possible by assistance from

The Allamakee Commu-

just received its College
Readiness Letter from ACT
for those students who took
the test this past year. Infor-
mation shared from ACT in-
cludes:
52 ACSD students took
the exam this past year.
ACSD students scores
were near the state average
in English, math, social sci-
ence, and science, as fol-
lows: (ACSD Score/State

ence-21.6/22.2;
ACSD students did score
higher than the state average
in readiness for college. ACT
has established that college
readiness benchmarks in-
clude the following subject
areas and ACT scores that
are benchmarks for college
readiness: English (18); Al-
gebra (22); Reading (22) and
Biology (23). ACSD students
scores showed that 77% of the
students scored an 18 or more
in English; 52% scored a 22
or higher in Algebra; 48%
scored a 22 or higher in So-
cial Science; and 50% of the

Through a partnership with

ceived, rst-funded basis,
accredited Pre-K-12 public,
private or charter schools
located within the 37-coun-
ty Heritage Area may apply
online for one grant per year

er in Biology. An average of
33% of ACSD students tak-
ing the exam met all four of
the college readiness bench-
marks, which is two percent
higher than the state average.
ACSD students' compos-
ite average was 21.6; the State
of Iowa composite was 22.0.
ACSD Superintendent
David Herold commented,
The school administration
is very proud to share these
scores with the community.
The ACT exam is one nation-
al measure that compares our
students with others through-
out the nation taking the same
exam. This is a true indicator
of how we compare with our
state and the nation. Iowa is
traditionally one of the top
achieving states in the nation
for ACT scores, so the fact
that our students ranked high-
er than the state average is a
true indicator of this achieve-
ment. These scores show that
students who graduate from
the Allamakee CSD are pre-
pared and ready to take on
the rigors of college and be-
yond. These scores also show
the commitment of the Board
of Education, staff, students,
and parents in preparing these
kids for college.

Farm Families and the
Affordable Care Act
Considering the high cost
of health insurance, farm
families should become
familiar with changes brought
about by the Affordable Care
Act. Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach
human sciences specialists
in family nance discuss the
implications for farm families
in the August issue of Ag
Decision Maker.
For the farm community
and the public at large, a
great deal of confusion
has surrounded the roll-
out of the Affordable Care
Act. Uncertainties remain
in terms of the costs and
benets associated with
its implementation, said
Suzanne Bartholomae.
However, many of the new
provisions of the ACA may
address some of the issues
faced by farm families when
it comes to health coverage.
The health insurance
consumption patterns of
Iowa farmers differ from the
population at large, USDA
research shows. Iowa farm
operators tend to have greater
rates of insurance coverage
than the general population,
partially because of the
dangerous nature of farming.
To get health insurance
coverage, family members
often take off-farm jobs.
Farmers use health
insurance to protect their
farms from risk, and many
farm operations support
multiple farm families,
added Susan Taylor.
Bartholomae and Taylor
examine the Health Insurance
Marketplace, essential
benets, tax credits and
cost-sharing options. See
the complete story in the Ag
Decision Maker newsletter at
http://www.extension.iastate.
edu/agdm.
The end of summer and
the start of a new school year
is an exciting time for most
children. But for some, the
beginning of school could
reveal a dark secret when
signs of abuse and neglect
these children have suffered
over the summer are noticed
by teachers, staff and other
parents.
Because children
are subject to less adult
supervision over the summer,
its not uncommon for reports
of suspected abuse and
neglect to spike at the start of
the school year, said Kerry
Brennan, CASA Program
Coordinator.
Many of the children who
are conrmed as victims are
removed from their homes
and placed into foster care
often far from their friends,
families and schools. CASA
(Court Appointed Special
Advocates) volunteers from
CASA are specially screened
and trained to speak up for
abused and neglected children
who, through no fault of their
own, end up in the foster care
system.
Being uprooted from
their homes and families is
scary for these children. We
at CASA want to make sure
that they do not get lost in
the overburdened foster care
system, Brennan said. For
that reason, we need more
people in our community to
speak up and make sure these
childrens voices are heard.
Beginning of school year
often reveals signs of
child abuse and neglect
We want to help ensure that
their stay in foster care is
as short as possible and that
they are placed in safe, loving
homes quickly so they can
begin to heal.
There are more children in
the child protection system in
northeast Iowa than there are
CASA volunteers to advocate
for their best interests.
Too many children are
forced to go through the
chaos of moving through
the child protection system
alone, Brennan said. CASA
needs more volunteers to step
up and be a voice for children
who desperately need them.
CASA volunteers
advocate for childrens needs
in court and in the child
welfare system. They help
them through their struggles
in foster care or relative
placement. Their number one
goal is to help the children
nd safe, loving families.
We need more dedicated
CASA volunteers to walk
with children every step
of the way and ensure that
they are placed into safe,
permanent homes as quickly
as possible, Brennan said.
This school year, become
a CASA volunteer and help
children in need nd safe,
permanent homes. For more

Student eligibility guidelines
for free and reduced-price
meals recently announced
The policy for free and reduced-price school meals for chil-
dren who are unable to pay the full price of meals has been
released by the Iowa Department of Education. The meals are
served through the National School Lunch Program, School
Breakfast Program and the Afterschool Care Snack Program.
State and local ofcials have adopted family size and income
criteria for determining eligibility (see chart below).
Households may apply for free or reduced-price meal bene-
ts one of four ways:
Students from households whose income is at or below the
levels shown in the chart below are eligible for reduced-price
meals or for free meals. All children in a household may be
listed on one application, which then can be returned to any
one of the children's schools.
Students from Food Assistance households and children
who receive benets under the Family Investment Program
(FIP) are eligible for free meals. Most children from Food As-
sistance and FIP households will qualify for free meals au-
tomatically. These households will be notied of benets in
letters from their children's schools. Households that receive
a letter from the school district need to do nothing more to
ensure their children receive free meals.
Some Food Assistance and FIP households will receive
letters from the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS).
Children listed in the letters will qualify for free meals, but
parents must rst take these letters to the children's schools.
Food Assistance or FIP households that receive benets
but do not receive a letter from DHS must apply for free school
meals on behalf of their children.
Only complete applications will be approved by schools.
Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.
If a family member becomes unemployed, the family should
contact the school to complete an application.
Foster children are eligible for free meal benets. Some fos-
ter children will qualify for free meals automatically through
the State Direct Certication process, and their host families
will be notied of these benets. Families that are notied
need to do nothing more to ensure their children receive free
meals. Families with live-in foster children who are not noti-
ed but wish to apply for free meals will nd instructions on
the application form. Participants in the Special Supplement
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals based on a
completed application.
Households with children who are enrolled in the Head
Start/Even Start Program or the Migrant Education Program
or who are considered homeless or runaway by the school dis-
trict's homeless liaison should contact the school for assistance
with benets. Individuals who are dissatised with a ruling by
school ofcials can formally appeal, either orally or in writing,
to the school's designated hearing ofcial. The policy state-
ment on le at the school contains an outline of the hearing
procedure. School ofcials may verify the information in the
application and that deliberate misrepresentation of informa-
tion may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable
state and federal criminal statutes. Households should contact
their local schools for more information.

illness, over the past three
years. West Nile cases in
Iowa are up 400 percent
compared to previous years,
up from nine cases in 2011 to
44 cases in 2013, according
to the Iowa Department of
Public Health.
In addition, the report says
increased levels of carbon
dioxide are leading to an
increase in the density and
toxicity of pollen and the
toxicity of poison ivy.
The pure numbers are
increasing, plus the viruses
are living longer in each
mosquito and tick also, said
Wilkinson.
In addition, mild winters
in parts of the U.S. mean
temperatures arent getting
cold enough to kill ticks
during the winter months.
MAY GET WORSE
Shah said it is likely the
problem will get worse before
it gets better and suggested
in the near future the U.S.
may be looking at other
mosquito-borne illnesses
Americans once considered
exotic. Like Dengue or
Chikungunya, both which
cause fever and headaches,
said Shah. These will not
be staying in just Africa and
Asia.
WHAT TO DO
Locally, Sheryl Darling-
Mooney of Public Health for
Allamakee County reminds
the public to be vigilant when
spending time outdoors.
She suggested a number of
ways to help decrease the
likelihood of a tick bite or
attachment, including:
Treating dogs and cats for
ticks
Wearing insect repellent
containing DEET (not
recommended for children
under two months of age)
Wearing Permethrin-
treated clothing
Checking yourself for
ticks after being outdoors,
especially after being out in
the woods
Showering soon after
coming indoors.
Environmentally, there
are a number of precautions
people can take to minimize
ticks and mosquitoes on their
property:
Get rid of standing water
by emptying out pools, bird
baths, bottoms of ower pots
and buckets
Discard old tires and drill
a hole in them to allow water
to drain
Eliminate tall weeds or
grass - mosquitoes like the
shade
Use good-tting screens
on doors and windows.
The Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) make
additional recommendations,
including:
Avoid perfumed soaps,
shampoos and deodorants
Tuck pants into socks or
boots
Remain still if a single
insect is ying around
If attacked, seek shaded
areas or shelter.
TAKING A STAND
In addition to protecting
oneself, the "Ticked Off"
report suggests a number
of ways people can take a
stand and help protect the
planet and slow the effects
of climate change. These
include reducing carbon
pollution from the largest
sources by supporting the
Clean Power Plan proposed
by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
this past June and other
pollution control standards;
investing in wildlife-friendly
renewable energy, such as
geothermal, wind, solar and
sustainable bioenergy, along
with improvements in energy
efciency; and safeguarding
wildlife by adopting climate-
smart conservation practices
that will help wildlife survive
and adapt to a changing
climate, such as maintaining
or re-establishing habitat
connections among parks,
wildlife refuges and other
protected habitats.

your best baseball in order
to beat Kee High because
they were always condent
in what they were capable of
doing. I always enjoyed the
opportunity to coach against
Coach Schultz, and we truly
enjoy the rivalry thats been
created between the two
teams because its always
meant good baseball.
With recent tradition be-
ing Kee and Decorah opening
their respective seasons fac-
ing off against one another,
Olenjiczak says it will cer-
tainly be different looking
across the diamond in next
summers season opener and
not seeing #10 standing in
the third base coaching box.
But he certainly expects the
rivalry and the tradition of
good baseball in the Kee
High School communities to
continue.
I expect that the Lansing
and New Albin communities
will continue to want to carry
on the tradition of Kee High
baseball, he said. Its been
a long-standing tradition in
those communities, and
Coach Schultz has certainly
done his share in establishing
that tradition and keeping it
foremost in the community.
When I think of the commu-
nities of Lansing and New
Albin, I think of two things -
shing and baseball!
When asked what it is that
allows for coaches like him-
self and Schultz to not only
remain in their respective po-
sitions for so many years, but
to also experience the kind of
success that has lofted them
to the nations top two coach-
ing victory totals, Olenjiczak
replied, First and foremost,
a love of the game, and with-
in that the challenge that the
game of baseball provides.
Its not an easy game to play,
skill-wise, but coaches like
Gene and myself know that
its probably even tougher
mentally to play the game of
baseball, than physically.
Secondly, an apprecia-
tion for the kids who play
the game for you. If you ha-
vent loved the kids who take
the eld for you, then youll
never stay at it. What a treat
it is for coaches like us to be
able to coach the sons of fa-
thers who also played for us,
and to be rewarded for all the
hard work these kids have put
in with the kind of success a
program like Kee High has
had. Im sure Gene is just like
me in that he never anticipat-
ed staying in the game, and
especially in one place, for
so long, but, again, that goes
back to the love of the game,
the players who take the eld
for you, and the communities
that support you.

Kee volleyball team returns six letterwinners for 2014 season
The 2014 Kee volleyball
team will return six varsity
letterwinners from a squad
last season that nished with
an 8-18 overall record, in-
cluding a 10th-place Upper
Iowa Conference record of
2-7. That mix of returning
varsity experience will com-
bine with some young new-
comers to hopefully make for
a formidable Hawk line-up
throughout the year, accord-
ing to Coach Rich Ellis.
Our biggest key will be
team continuity, Coach El-
lis said. The girls will need
to learn how to play together
and be willing to play where
the team needs them the most.
We will have a few girls play-
ing new positions this year
and they are going to need to
accept their new role in order
for us to be successful.
That veteran half dozen
includes the senior foursome
of Sadie Hill, Valerie Mey-
er, Nicole Vinson and Molly
Walleser, as well as the junior
tandem of Mikayla Gavin and
Erin Rud. Although most sta-
tistical categories last season
were topped by seniors now
lost to graduation, Meyer,
Gavin and Walleser do re-
turn with the second- through
fourth-best kill totals, re-
spectively, from last season,
with Gavin and Meyer also
bringing back Kees top two
blocking totals and Walles-
er returning with the teams
third-best service ace total
and fourth-best serving per-
centage, all behind senior
leadership from last year.
The newcomers being
looked to this year may be
new to the varsity volleyball
court, but much like Meyer,
Walleser and Vinson are cer-
tainly not new to the varsity
level of competition, and
some signicant success at
that level. Our biggest weak-
ness will be youth and inexpe-
rience, Coach Ellis explains.
We only have three girls in
Molly, Val and Mikayla that
saw signicant time last year
and we will have three fresh-
men rotating in and out of
the line-up. However, two of
those freshmen are just com-
ing off a state softball appear-
ance, so they should be able
to handle the mental part of
the varsity game.
Kendra Cooper and Chloe
Severson make up that fresh-
man state softball tandem
referred to by Coach Ellis.
Along with that high level
of success at a high level of
varsity competition, those
two also join Gavin in mea-
suring 510 tall, with Meyer
and Walleser each up there as
well at 59, creating a great
deal of optimism for Coach
Ellis.
Our biggest strength
will be our size up front, he
said. Our shortest front row
player this year will be 59.
Combine that size with some
athleticism, and we should be
very strong up front.
A somewhat upperclass-
man newcomer will also be
looked to for signicant con-
tributions this season, as ju-
nior Lilly Winters will take
the court for the Hawks for
the rst time this season after
spending last school year in
Italy. We will be looking for
leadership from Lilly Win-
ters, Coach Ellis comment-
ed. She is a solid player who
will be a great addition to our
line-up.
Mixing all those ingredi-
ents of veteran experience,
height, athleticism and other
leadership possibilities will
hopefully help overcome
the graduation loss of the
main statistical and overall
leadership from last years
squad. We have three rath-
er large holes to ll, Coach
Ellis remarked. We lost El-
lie Heiderscheit and Kaylee
Darling, both who have been
playing varsity for four years.
We also lost our setter from
last year with Alivia Winters
graduating. These are big
shoes to ll, but so far, we
are doing a good job lling
them.
Coach Ellis can see that
the mixing of those ingre-
dients has already started to
produce some positive results
for the Hawks so far in this
seasons early going. I am
very pleased with the effort in
practice so far, he noted. A
couple of the upperclassmen
have come to me and told me
that we are going to be bet-
ter than they thought we were
going to be. I attribute this to
the hard work they are putting
in.
With the separating of the
Upper Iowa Conference into
a bigger school division and
smaller school division this
season, Coach Ellis likes his
teams chances of playing
their way to the top of their
small school division. But
he still sees some of the tra-
ditional larger schools as the
overall league favorites again
this season.
Our goal is to nish on
the top of our division this
year, and I feel that we have
a very good shot at that, he
said. I think South Winn,
North Fayette Valley, Clayton
Ridge and Turkey Valley will
be ghting for the top spot.
However, after that there will
be a dog ght for the remain-
ing spots. One of the remain-
ing teams could knock off
one of the top four to crack a
spot up there.
Kees quest of achieving
this seasons goals is sched-
uled to get underway this
Thursday, August 28 with
a home double dual against
Seneca, WI and De Soto, WI.
The Hawks will get their rst
crack at Upper Iowa Con-
ference action September 4
at Turkey Valley in another
scheduled double dual that
also involves New Hampton.

The 2014 Waukon girls golf
team elded an overall young
squad that saw several different
players take leadership roles in
the Indians' nal meet results
throughout the season. The
Tribe lady linksters competed
against some strong competition
in addition to Mother Nature
this season, as a handful of
meets were either rescheduled
or canceled due to wet or wintry
weather. The Lady Indians
ultimately ended their season
with just a single dual meet
victory over Oelwein, a team
they also nished in front of in
placing sixth in the Northeast
Iowa Conference Tournament
before wrapping up their season
with an eighth-place nish at
their Class 3A First Round
Regional Tournament.
Just two seniors were the
upperclassmen leaders for
this year's squad, as Haylee
Rathbone and Taylor Sholes
wrapped up their high school
careers with completion of
this season. The Indians had
anywhere from a freshman to
a junior leading them on the
course in this season's nal
competition results, making
optimism run high for next
season's returnees.

The season preview articles for Waukon
boys and girls cross country will appear in
next weeks edition of The Standard
tory of his career at the start of
the 2013 season, Schultz gave
a great deal of credit for the
success he has experienced to
the baseball foundation laid
out by his unofcial assis-
tant coach, Harris Shooky
Fink, within the little league
and school-aged kids in New
Albin. Hed throw batting
practice or hit ground balls
to kids as soon as they were
big enough to keep a glove
on their hand or lift a bat,
Schultz remarked in his pre-
1,700 wins reection.
Schultz further declared
that New Albins baseball
success also fueled a rival-
ry-like similar result in near-
by Lansing, further enhancing
the resources he has drawn
from during his 45-year ten-
ure at the Kee baseball helm.
Schultz has admitted that its
that perceived rivalry, along
with the combining of St.
George and Kee high schools
in Lansing, that helped jump
start his career early on, be-
ginning with his greatest
memory of his 1973 team
that won him his rst-ever
state championship with an
undefeated season record of
48-0 in the rst season that
both the St. George and Kee
students were combined into
one school and on one team.
FONDEST MEMORIES,
RECORDS STILL STAND
That 1973 state title was
the rst of a still existing
state of Iowa record nine
summer state championships
for Schultz, a number that
no other coach has equaled
and that only Davenport As-
sumption has equaled as a
program, that happening at
the end of this recently com-
pleted 2014 season. Addition-
al Iowa high school baseball
records still intact for Coach
Schultz include 19 summer
state tournament appearanc-
es resulting in a 32-10 state
tournament record, with 16
of those trips resulting in the
Hawks playing their way into
the state championship game,
including their most recent
Class 1A State Runner-Up
nish in 2011 and their most
recent state championship in
2005. Schultz also coached
Kee to four state champi-
onship game appearances
during Iowas fall baseball
season, winning two more ti-
tles in 1977 and 1978 before
the fall season was halted.
Nearly half of those sum-
mer state championships
make for another of Schul-
tzs greatest highlights, as
his Hawks won four consec-
utive titles from 1989-1992,
with Kee pitcher Kip Peters
still being the only Iowa high
school player to ever record
four state championship
pitching victories. I dont
think thats something that
will ever be equaled, and I
doubt that it ever has in the
nation and maybe even the
world, Schultz said of Pe-
ters four consecutive state
championship pitching tri-
umphs.
EQUAL ADMIRATION
When reecting on their
own experiences just over a
year ago when Coach Schultz
was approaching his 1,700-
win milestone, Peters is
among the many former Kee
players who used such phras-
es as mentally ready, fun-
damentals and teamwork
when describing what they
felt was Coach Schultzs keys
to the success that he has ex-
perienced with his teams over
the years. But, beyond their
playing experiences, most all
also turned similar phrases,
such as he believed in me,
he treated you with the re-
spect you earned, and he
was strict, but he was fair,
when asked how their former
coach impacted their lives be-
yond baseball.
Wellendorf echoed those
same sentiments as some-
thing he witnessed between
Schultz and his players while
serving as his assistant and
then as Kees athletic direc-
tor. They respected him for
who he was and what he ex-
pected from them, Wellen-
dorf said of how Schultzs
players often responded to
him. They understood that
he demanded discipline, but
he did it in a way that always
seemed to bring the best out
of each player. In many cas-
es, he seemed like a god to
them.
Additionally, from both his
former assistant coaching and
athletic director positions,
Wellendorf also recalls Schul-
tzs demanding but fair adher-
ence to scheduling games for
his team. Gene always liked
to play a 40-game schedule,
Wellendorf recalls. I remem-
ber one year we qualied for
the State Tournament, but we
had only been able to play 38
games during the regular sea-
son because of weather can-
cellations. Well, on the way
to the State Tournament, we
had to stop in Oelwein just
to play another game. But, he
was always easy to work with
because he would play pretty
much any team pretty much
any time, especially when
it came to making up games
or replacing games that had
been cancelled.
Wellendorf also remem-
bers, with a chuckle, one of
the most humorous conversa-
tions he ever had with Schul-
tz. I think it was the late 80s,
we had to play St. Ansgar in
a substate game, Wellen-
dorf relayed with a smile in
his voice. Gene was going
on about how he hated play-
ing these parochial schools,
and I looked at him and said,
Gene, St. Ansgar is the name
of the town, its not a Catholic
school.
No matter the opponent,
parochial school or public
school, large or small, Wel-
lendorf says Schultz was al-
ways known for having his
teams ready to play against
anyone. They may get beat
by a better team, but they were
never going to beat them-
selves with errors or because
they couldnt throw strikes,
Wellendorf said. Thats how
Gene always prepared his
teams, being fundamentally
sound and mentally ready to
face whatever situation was
thrown at them.
In his reective/deective
manner, Schultz is always
quick to point the success n-
ger right back at the players
who took the eld for him.
Ive been fortunate to have
a tremendous number of kids
who have made the commit-
ment to play the great game
of baseball like I thought it
should be played, he shared.
One of the most gratifying
things for me is when I see
my former players and they
make comments like I sure
wish I could put the uniform
on and play for you again.
That is the greatest success
I could ever hope to accom-
plish.
Its been a great 45 years,
and I would like to thank ev-
eryone who has ever been
involved that has helped
our baseball program real-
ize the kind of success that

Waukon football team looks to continue recent string of play-off success in 2014 season
Waukon volleyball team returns ve letterwinners for 2014 campaign
The 2014 Waukon foot-
ball team returns 23 varsity
letterwinners from the most
successful season in program
history last fall, an historic
campaign that saw the Indi-
ans play to a Class 2A State
Runner-Up nish and rewrite
a number of school records
in the process. While a great
deal of key contributors to
last seasons success moved
on with graduation this past
May, including four players
participating in Division I
programs at UNI, Iowa and
Oregon State, second-year
Waukon head coach Chad
Beermann says there cer-
tainly isnt any sort of one-
and-done mentality when it
comes to wanting to continue
the kind of success the pro-
gram has developed over the
last couple seasons.
We know we graduat-
ed one of the most honored
classes in school history,
Coach Beermann said. We
also know the cupboard is
not bare. We have addressed
the fact we have one of the
toughest schedules in 2A, and
many of those teams are an-
ticipating a drop-off from our
kids. We will have a bit of a
target on our backs.
Aside from what other
teams may think coming into
this season, Coach Beermann
and his charges also know
what they are capable of, set-
ting their sights on goals that
will continue to maintain and
build upon back-to-back sea-
sons where the Indians were
Class 2A State Quarternal-
ists in 2012 and State Run-
ners-Up last season.
We would like to make
the play-offs for the third
consecutive season, the sec-
ond-year Indian head coach
said. A goal each week is
to rate ourselves against the
team we can be. If we can play
to potential, we should have a
punchers chance against ev-
eryone on our schedule.
That schedule will include
a considerably different over-
all look, but also include a bit
of familiarity from past expe-
rience. Remaining in the Indi-
ans Class 2A District 3 with
them from last season will be
the spectrum of district cham-
pion New Hampton and dis-
trict last-place nisher Water-
loo Columbus, while recent
familiar play-off foes Dy-
ersville Beckman and Cen-
ter Point-Urbana also make
their way into District 3 this
season. North Fayette Valley
will move up from a Class
1A State Seminalist nish
last season, while another
fellow Northeast Iowa Con-
ference (NEIC) school, Oel-
wein, will drop down from
Class 3A. The Tribes three
non-district games to begin
the season will also feature a
The 2014 Waukon vol-
leyball team will look to
improve on a 9-25-4 overall
record posted by last years
squad in its rst year under
the guidance of head coach
Peyton Wacker. Now in her
second year at the helm and
newly married, Coach Pey-
ton Lapel will see the return
of ve varsity letterwinners
from last years crew that
also nished sixth in the nal
Northeast Iowa Conference
(NEIC) standings with a 1-6
record, along with a large
group of 10 seniors that will
make up a majority of this
falls 14 team members in this
seasons early-going.
Four of those ve return-
ing letterwinners also head-
line that large senior class,
including two-year letterwin-
ners Allie Schwartz and Jack-
ie Welch and rst-year let-
terwinners Katelyn Kolsrud
and Thea Meyer. Sophomore
Regan Wasson rounds out the
list of returning letterwinners
from last season, making
considerable contributions
and gaining valuable experi-
great deal of familiarity,
as another pair of NEIC
schools, Class 3A State
Play-Off qualiers Dec-
orah and Crestwood, and
Class 1A Quarternalist
South Winneshiek make
up a considerable trio of
non-district match-ups to
start the Indians season.
Seven of our nine op-
ponents this season are
play-off teams from last
year, Coach Beermann
observed. We should
have some great games.
When the district came
out this spring, I think
the consensus was it was
a two-horse race between
North Fayette Valley and
New Hampton based on
returning players. New
Hampton has had a sig-
nicant injury, and Dy-
ersville Beckman and
Waterloo Columbus
each have new coaches.
I would say this years
four play-off spots are
really up in the air, with
North Fayette Valley, New
Hampton, Center Point-Ur-
bana, Beckman and Waukon
all having earned berths last
year.
The Indians postseason
and overall success last sea-
son not only allowed this
falls returning letterwinners
to enjoy that historic experi-
ence, but also allowed for a
vast majority of them to build
up considerable game expe-
rience due to lopsided scores
and the extension of the sea-
son well beyond just the reg-
ular schedule. This seasons
23 returning letterwinners in-
clude seniors Adam Benzing,
Nick Bieber, Zach Bieber,
Jamie Byrnes, Brennan Frick,
Travis Herman, Michael
Howe, Drake Jensen, Mar-
shall Lyons, Jacob Ronan,
Landon Sivesind and Brock
Waters, as well as juniors Joe
Frieden, Dennis Gaunitz, Ha-
den Hammel, Peyton Hesse,
Austin Hogan, Nick Johnson,
Chris Miller, Dawston Re-
gan, Michael Schulte, Colin
Steiber and Wyatt Wille.
These players really
beneted from the addition-
al month of practice we had
last year due to the play-off
run, Coach Beermann said.
Many played big roles on
ence as a middle hitter for the
Tribe as just a freshman last
fall.
Coach Lapel lists those ve
returning letterwinners and
great team chemistry as the
greatest strengths of this sea-
sons team. Those strengths
will be combined with what
she sees as this years keys
to a successful season - team
speed and intelligence - to
help overcome the teams
overall lack of height at the
net this season.
We lack height, but I be-
lieve we will make up for that
with our quickness and smart
playing, Coach Lapel said.
I can anticipate strong lead-
ership from all of the girls.
Thus far, they have all shown
great enthusiasm for their
team and the sport.
Within that returning var-
sity letterwinning leadership
also comes a considerable
amount of statistical leader-
ship from last season. De-
spite the graduation of eight
seniors from last falls squad,
each of this seasons return-
ing veterans brings back with
the eld, and the rest contrib-
uted more in our practices.
Beermann also says ju-
niors Sean Byrnes, Adam
Drew and Pat Mahr will all
play roles this year in helping
ll holes left by graduation on
both the offensive and defen-
sive lines. We lost over 90%
of our total offense from last
year to graduation, as well as
four of our ve offensive line-
men and our entire defensive
line, Beermann noted.
Headlining the replace-
ment of that mass exodus of
statistical contributions will
be All-State senior defensive
back Jake Ronan, who, in ad-
dition to leading the Indians
with eight interceptions last
season, also returns with a
9.7 yards per carry average on
26 carries last season and the
teams second-best receiving
totals of 29 catches for 385
yards and three touchdowns.
Fellow seniors and All-Dis-
trict players Marshall Ly-
ons and Adam Benzing also
return with receiving and
rushing yardage totals hov-
ering around 100 yards from
last season in addition to the
teams third-best defensive
totals of 84 total tackles for
Lyons and ve solo tackles
for loss for Benzing.

numbers from last fall.

all-around numerical lead-
ership with team highs last
season of 185 kills, 53 ace
serves and 296 assists, with
Welch second on last seasons
team with 123 winners at the
net. Meyer paced the Tribes
serving efciency with a .957
serving percentage that fea-
tured just four missed serves
on the season, with Kolsrud
bringing back the teams sec-
ond highest digs total with
114. Wasson also paced last
seasons team with 19 solo
blocks in her second-place
total of 37 overall blocks.
It will be that veteran ex-
perience that will be looked
to in pursuit of this seasons
goals. Develop a team of
strong competitors, and have
fun and improve throughout
the season to advance in the
postseason, Coach Lapel
listed as this seasons desired
achievements.
The second-year head
coach also looks for an im-
provement in where her team
will nish in the nal North-
east Iowa Conference stand-
ings in comparison to last
season. I think we have the
potential to place third in the
conference, she explained.
Looking at last years re-
sults, the couple matches
that we lost that were tight
matches could go either way
this year. I think these girls
are very determined and ded-
icated to make that goal and
improvement happen.
Prior to beginning that pur-
suit of NEIC improvement,
the Indians will have some
non-conference tune-ups to
start this seasons schedule,
including their season-open-
ing Mabel-Canton Tourna-
ment this Saturday, August
30. Non-conference matches
will be played at Postville,
Tuesday, September 2, and
at MFL/MarMac, Monday,
September 8, before the Indi-
ans open both their home and
NEIC season Tuesday, Sep-
tember 9 against Decorah.
While we do not have
the sort of talent that draws
Division I coaches this year,
we really have a nice dis-
tribution of talent, Coach
Beermann outlined. Where
last year the majority of our
yards and points came from
two players (University of
Northern Iowa recruit Marcus
Weymiller and University of
Iowa recruit Parker Hesse),
this year the runs and catches
will be spread through sev-
en or eight. Also, we have
some good linemen who have
worked very hard to get big-
ger and stronger.
One advantage this sea-
sons team will have is the
depth and experience that
this years team allows. This
season, a goal is to Two Pla-
toon as much as possible,
Coach Beermann explained.
We feel we have enough
depth to play the majority of
our kids one way. This will
help keep the kids fresh. The
development of the junior
class is what gives us depth
this year.
In addition to depth, the
second-year coach also sees
promise from upperclassmen
leadership displayed early in
the season, as well as some
things that took place in the
off-season. The seniors are
stepping into their leadership
role, he said. In addition,
we had good numbers in the
weight room and at speed
camp this summer.
The fruits of that off-sea-
son and pre-season prepara-
tion will soon be realized, as
the Indians will begin their
2014 schedule this Friday,
August 29 at home against
Class 1A State Quarternal-
ist South Winneshiek. Our
starters need to be ready right
away, as we open the sea-
son with ve straight play-
off teams from last season,
Coach Beermann said.

Nine returning letterwinners bolster Kee football hopes for 2014 campaign
The Kee football team will
return nine varsity letterwin-
ners for its 2014 campaign
from a team that played to
a 6-4 overall record and an
Eight-Player District 4 run-
ner-up nish with a 6-1 mark
against district opponents
last season. Leading the way
within that experienced var-
sity nucleus will be eight se-
niors who each contributed
to last seasons success on a
team that lost just three se-
niors to graduation.
Having eight seniors that
have been through multiple
seasons at the varsity level
is a big advantage that we
havent had for awhile, sec-
ond-year Kee head football
coach Chad Winters said. I
expect our upperclassmen to
show our younger kids how
we do things on a daily basis.
They set the tone for practice
every day in how we prepare
for the games.
Setting that tone for this
years team will be the afore-
mentioned eight letterwin-
ning seniors, including Nick
Howe, Ryan Kuhn, Hunter
Otto, Dylon Peterson, Mar-
quise Phillips, David Rich-
ards, Craig Sand and Andrew
Weber, as well as sophomore
Clay Olson. Among that
list of returnees will be six
All-District performers, led
by Peterson as a First Team
All-District Defensive Utili-
ty selection, although he was
also the Hawks signal caller
and second-leading rusher on
offense last season. Phillips,
Kuhn and Weber each re-
ceived Second Team All-Dis-
trict accolades, with Sand and
Olson earning All-District
Honorable Mention.
That experienced and dec-
orated crew will pace a team
made up of 28 players from
the freshman through senior
ranks this season, a total team
number that still causes a bit
of unrest with Coach Winters
in regard to his teams overall
depth. Depth continues to be
a concern, he said. We need
some inexperienced guys to
step up and show that they
have the ability and desire to
help out at the varsity level.
With 16 underclassmen par-
ticipating, it will be good to
see some of the younger guys
step up and take charge of the
JV team as well.
With those depth concerns
looming, Coach Winters says
that keeping his team healthy
will be a key factor in the de-
gree of success experienced
this season. Staying healthy
is a priority during pre-sea-
son and non-district games,
he said, adding that there
are a number of factors in-
volved in that team wellness
approach. The boys have to
be willing to put in the extra
time needed to be successful;
from lifting weights, to taking
care of their bodies, to being
prepared by watching lm.
Staying healthy, especially
in the pre-season and during
Kees non-district sched-
ule early in the season, will
have a direct impact on what
Coach Winters sees as this
years main goals. A District
Championship and a play-off
win are the top two goals this
year, he said.
Kees District 4 will look
much the same this season,
with the exception of peren-
nial contender Easton Valley
now moving up to Class A
competition and Turkey Val-
ley moving down into the
Eight-Player classication
after a 7-4 season last year
that saw them advance into
the second round of the Class
A State Play-Offs. Both Cen-
tral Elkader and Springville
also return from State Play-
Off qualifying seasons last
fall, both having their sea-
sons ended by eventual
Eight-Player champion Don
Bosco, although Springville
graduated a considerable
senior class this past May,
including All-Stater and Uni-
versity of Northern Iowa re-
cruit Elias Nissen.
Central Elkader appears
to be the front-runner, as they
return a lot from their play-off
team last year, Coach Win-
ters speculated. West Cen-
tral, Turkey Valley and Mid-
land will be battling it out for
the other play-off positions.
I think we are extremely
competitive with all of those
teams and a lot will hinge on
who stays healthy and plays
well that particu-
lar night.
Even though
the Hawks lost
just three seniors
to graduation
from last sea-
sons District 4
runner-up team,
that trio included
the All-State pair
of Jameson Pe-
terson and Nick
Gavin. Peterson
headlined Kees
ground game last
season with his
second consecu-
tive season gain-
ing over 1,300
yards while also
leading the Hawk
defense in tackles
from his lineback-
er position. Gavin
was just behind
Petersons tack-
le pace last year,
and anchored
both Kees defen-
sive and offensive
lines.
We lost two
All-State players
in Jameson Pe-
terson and Nick
Gavin, Coach
Winters said.
They leave huge
shoes to ll on
both sides of the
ball. We arent
looking for one
guy to replace
them, we have to
do it as an entire
team.
That team ap-
proach is scheduled to get
underway this Friday, August
29 at home against Ricev-
ille. The Hawks will then hit
the road for two consecutive
weeks, including their Dis-
trict 4 season opener against
Eight-Player newcomer and
Class A State Qualier last
season, Turkey Valley.
