Sunday accident near Dubuque claims Waukon man
The Dubuque County Sheriff's Offi ce reports that an accident involving a pick-up truck and two motorcycles around 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon, August 31 has claimed the life of a Waukon man and injured his wife. The report indicates that Thomas Haberichter, 56, of Waukon and his wife, Nancy Haberichter, 50, were each traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 52 just south of Dubuque on their motorcycles when a pick-up truck driven by Kevin Stocks (age not reported) of Bellevue made a left turn into the path of both motorcycles near the entrance of Spring Valley Trailer Park.
The report indicates that both Haberichter motorcycles struck the pick-up truck. Thomas Haberichter was reportedly airlifted to the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City, where he passed away as a result of his injuries. Nancy Haberichter was transported to Finley Hospital in Dubuque for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Stocks was reportedly not injured in the accident.
The report does not indicate any charges being fi led in the incident as of press time Tuesday morning, September 2. The accident remains under investigation.
Supervisors approve resolution to add $4.9 million bond referendum to Nov. 4 general election ballot for funding of new public safety center
Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) diagnosis severely restricts diet for area 18-month-old
by Bob Beach
The Allamakee County Board of Supervisors continued discussions Tuesday, August 26 about plans to construct a new public safety center to house
by Kelli Boylenfreelance writer
Other people kept telling
the County's jail, Sheriff's Department, Emergency Management Department and E911 Department. County Attorney Jill Kistler presented the Board with a resolution to add a bond referendum to the ballot for the November 4 general election this year, which would ask voters to approve the issuance of $4.9 million in general obligation bonds to fund the project.
Supervisor Sherry Strub expressed concerns about the resolution, asking what would happen if the project ended up costing more than $4.9 million. She noted that a building site had not yet been selected, pointing out that if the new public safety center is built at Makee Manor, the cost of demolition of the existing building would add to the overall project cost. "I just feel like we're being rushed into this," Strub said. "I'm not comfortable with it."
Supervisor Dennis Koenig said that while he understands Strub's concerns, he has confi dence in the work done by the Public Safety Center Committee.
Allamakee County Sheriff Clark Mellick said that the jail consultant and architect had both expressed confi dence that the project could be completed for less than $5 million. He added that grants are available for asbestos removal, which would account for a signifi cant portion of the cost to demolish the Makee Manor building, if that turns out to be the site selected for construction. He also said that project plans could be scaled back in the event that the actual cost might exceed the $4.9 million estimate. Mellick said that the bond referendum would establish the maximum cost of the project and if it could not be completed for that amount, it wouldn't be done.
Kistler told the Board that if the bond referendum is not on the ballot in November, a special election would need
Jessica Winters of Cresco, formerly of Waukon, that her infant son had colic. But, as time passed, she knew that something else was wrong besides a severe case of colic.
Jessica said her son, Riven, now 18 months old, had digestive issues from the time he came home from the hospital. He would cry inconsolably, writhe as if in pain, and he had near-constant diarrhea. She tried breast feeding to no avail, and then tried numerous formulas until they found a prescription formula that worked.
He never stopped crying, she says. People wouldnt believe that he cried that much. Jessica stayed home with Riven until he was nine months old.
When he was just two or three months old, Riven
developed hives for the fi rst time, and it was suspected that laundry detergent was causing the reaction.
The hives and diarrhea would come and go as they started introducing foods. Riven was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and then eczema, but Jessica knew there was more going on than just that. We read all the parenting books, but the things we tried just wouldnt work," she said. I knew something just wasnt right. I became assertive and got a referral to a pediatric allergist.
The pediatric allergist at Gundersen in La Crosse, WI, Dr. Todd Mahr, thought he knew what was going on, and after several tests made the diagnosis of Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES). Riven was diagnosed three weeks before his fi rst birthday.
FPIES is an uncommon disorder characterized by an allergic reaction to food in the gastrointestinal system. The term enterocolitis specially refers to infl ammation of the small and large intestines which causes sudden, severe diarrhea. Symptoms may last hours to days. Other symptoms can include stomach pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, lethargy and swelling of the stomach. Severe symptoms can cause dehydration and hypovolemic shock. Every time Riven has a reaction he has to go on a formula-only diet for two weeks.
During his fi rst year of life, Riven had croup, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus),
Nation of Patriots 2014 Patriot Tour makes its way through Waukon ...
The Nation of Patriots, a volunteer organization with a mission to provide nancial support to families of wounded military veterans who have made sacri ces in service to their country, brought its 2014 Patriot Tour through Waukon last week on its way to completion of its annual three-month tour across the country. Tour participants display a United States ag (pictured at far right), which is transferred between riders at each designated stop along the tour. The tour began over the Memorial Day weekend, May 24 from Madison, WI, making its way through every one of the contiguous 48 United States before nally ending up back in Madison, WI, where it arrived this past Saturday, August 30.
Riders from Albert Lea, MN brought the ag in to Waukon Wednesday afternoon, August 27 for its only Iowa stop, with more than 60 motorcycles meeting at the Waukon Wellness Center before traversing through downtown Waukon (also pictured at right) on the way to Waukon Harley-Davidson, where they were met by members of the Color Guard from the local American Legion who ceremoniously folded the ag (pictured below). Members of the local Harley Owners Group (HOG) Chapter then departed from Waukon Harley-Davidson Saturday morning, August 30 with the ag in their possession, making their way to Badger Harley-Davidson in Madison, WI to complete the journey. For more information about the Patriot Tour or the Nation of Patriots organization, visit www.nationofpatriots.org.
Diagnosis severely limits diet ...Jessica Winters and her son, Riven, enjoy some time

bronchitis and a staph-based diaper rash. Although they didnt know it at the time, FPIES was causing him to have a low immune system.
Jessica, herself, is gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant, but that is a very short list of items compared to what Riven cannot eat.
FPIES is often triggered by milk, soy and rice, but in Rivens case the list of foods he can eat is much shorter than what he cant. In approximately 70% of cases, individuals react to one to two foods, but in Rivens case he is in the small minority that has allergic reactions to multiple things.
After he was diagnosed, Riven was placed on a formula-only diet and then introduced to foods very slowly, based on his doctors recommendations. He would try a new food, wait six or seven days to make sure there was no allergic reaction and then try something new.
At this time the only things Riven can eat are sweet potatoes, lima beans, kidney beans and bananas. His prescription formula, which costs $64 a can, is his main source of nutrition. Although he was below average weight when he was young, he is now growing at a normal rate despite his many food allergies.
At one point his family tried giving him eggs, and the reaction was more than just digestion; his breathing got shallow and he was lethargic. They have tried giving him

Kuceras place third in Sheep Herdsmanship at State Fair
Sheep exhibitors from Allamakee County earned third place in the 4-H herdsmanship contest at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. Logan, Rachel and Mariah Kucera, children of Chad and Joyce Kucera of Waukon, earned the high herdsmanship ranking.
"The awards are given for good use of techniques that em-phasize the welfare, safety and overall comfort of the animals, as well as the appearance to the general public," said Mike Anderson, program specialist for Iowa State University Exten-sion and Outreach 4-H Youth Development and 4-H Livestock Superintendent.
"The award refl ects the practices of good year-round animal care at home as well as at the fair," said Morgan Heim, Allama-kee County Youth Co-Coordinator.

Allamakee County 4-H'ers earned recognition as communicators at the Iowa State Fair. Those 4-H'ers competed in two categories of oral communication - educational presentations and working exhibits. In educational presentations, the 4-H'ers teach their audience about a topic they selected and researched. In working exhibits, the 4-H'ers invite passers-by to try a skill they demonstrate.
"Almost any time fairgoers come into the 4-H Exhibits Building they can learn from a 4-H'er participating in a communications activity," said Mitchell Hoyer, program specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development and 4-H Exhibits Building Superintendent.

As kind as she was, she still knew how to join the guys and go deer hunting. She was also an exceptional chef and loved to show off her cooking skills. Her interests included playing volleyball, horseback riding and hanging out with her friends and family.
Crystal is survived by her parents, Jim and Christina Sickles of Lansing; her broth-ers, Dallas Sickles and Kent Worman, both of Lansing; her grandparents, Tim and Nancy Mueller of Luana and Carole and Ray Sickles of Lansing; her great-grandpa, Herald Stagman of Monona; her aunts and uncles, Deb and Gary Grotegut, Bob Sickles, Becky and Jerry Christianson, Dave Sickles, Mark and Barb Sickles, Karen and Delbert Wikens, Wendy Ziegler, and Michael and Anna Ziegler; and many cousins.
Crystal was preceded in death by her grandpa, Michael Ziegler; her great-grandma, Leona Stagman; and her great-grandparents, Nancy and Eugene Ziegler.

New funds will increase access to local foodsAllamakee New Begin-
nings (ANB) has established three new funds to increase access of locally-grown and processed foods in northeast Iowa.
ANB is the non-profi t sponsor of the Iowa Food Hub (IFH). IFH unites the mission and vision of its part-ners by buying food from local farmers and selling it and delivering it to the places where most people get their food, like school food service
and grocery stores.IFH programming focuses
on small and medium-sized farm viability, food access and equality, local economic development, job creation and retention, beginning and established farmers, and food system research and educa-tion.
The three funds were cre-ated to facilitate community investment in the regional food system.
Contributions to the Food for All Fund will be directed toward the EBT (food stamp) matching program. IFH co-ordinates a worksite/school grocery food box delivery program in the region. Cus-tomers using EBT benefi ts
receive their food box at half price because of the dona-tions to this fund. This fund was started with a grant from the Allamakee County Com-munity Foundation.
Contributions to the Farm to School Fund will be di-rected toward schools speci-fi ed by the donor, to assist with purchases of local pork and beef for school meals.
Contributions to the In-frastructure Fund will be di-rected toward the installation and maintenance of coolers and freezers at Iowa Food Hubs new location in Deco-rah. IFH is currently raising funds for the $70,000 project.
ANB is a 501(c)(3) chari-table organization dedicated
to reducing the effects of poverty in northeast Iowa. All contributions are tax-deduct-ible. For more information, visit www.iowafoodhub.com or call Teresa Wiemerslage at 563-794-0599.

Winkie awarded IFAA Scholarship at State Fair
Michelle Winkie of Waukon was awarded the $1,000 Schlutz Family Beef Breeding Scholarship by the Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA) during the Iowa State Fair Sale of Champions Saturday, August 16. She is a 2014 Waukon High School graduate and the daughter of Brad and Linda Winkie of Waukon.
"IFAA established the Winner's Circle Scholarship Program in 1990 to provide incentives for college-bound youth seeking post-secondary education in an area of ag-riculture," said Harold Hodson of Ankeny, who chairs the IFAA Scholarship Committee. Over $189,250 in scholar-ships were awarded to 129 youth this year by IFAA.
IFAA is a non-profi t organization founded in 1988. It is comprised of agricultural enthusiasts dedicated to encour-aging 4-H and FFA livestock, poultry and agriculture proj-ect members to pursue ag-related careers. IFAA founders recognized that Iowa's young people are the future of ag-riculture in Iowa and that an important way to support and retain Iowa's future ag leaders is to provide fi nancial sup-port to those young people interested in ag careers.

NICC Waukon Center to host trio of courses
Ambulance simulators at NICC offer invaluable training for students in EMS program
Northeast Iowa Commu-nity College (NICC) Busi-ness and Community Solu-tions will be offering a trio of classes for adults in the general public to take part in at the NICC Waukon Center, located at 1220 Third Avenue NW in Waukon. Registrations are now being accepted for Microsoft Excel 2010 Fast-Paced Level 1, Introduc-tion to Essential Oils, and Communicating with Your Teen: Yes, You Need to Use Social Media and can be ac-complished by visiting www.nicc.edu/solutions or calling NICC Business and Com-munity Solutions at 800-728-2256, ext. 399.
Microsoft Excel 2010 Fast-Paced-Level 1 (#30675) will be held Satur-days, September 20 and 27 from 9 a.m.-12 Noon at the NICC Waukon Center. This Saturday morning two-part class is for users with little or no experience with Micro-soft Excel 2010. Students will learn about the Ribbon inter-face, practice data entry and editing, selecting cells and ranges, and formatting cell contents. An introduction to creating charts, using formu-las and printing worksheets is also included.
Introduction to Essen-tial Oils (#31501) is being held Tuesday, September 23 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the NICC Waukon Center. Discover the power of pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils the original medicines. Learn about the long history of human use of these plant-based extracts, how they are produced and tips for safe, practical use of essential oils in the home. In addition, par-
The trained Emergen-cy Medical Services (EMS) professionals who rush to a patients side in an emergen-cy - at a private residence, a roadside or a place of busi-ness - may not know with 100% certainty the circum-stances in a medical crisis until they arrive at the scene. For this reason, health care educators at Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) are turning to advanced sim-ulation technology to recreate EMS scenarios to supplement every students training and career preparation.
Starting this fall, new am-bulance simulators at the colleges Peosta and Calmar campuses are offering invalu-able training experiences for students enrolled in EMS pro-gramming, according to Sam Janecke, EMS program direc-tor at NICC. At NICC, we have always utilized a simu-lated patient, such as a man-ikin or a fellow student, to provide training experiences for students that prepare them for emergency situations. With the new ambulance simulators, our students are equipped with a piece of the puzzle that had been miss-ing, Janecke said. Students will learn safe cot handling, loading into the ambulance, comforting a patient who is undergoing trauma, and pro-viding a second or third set of vitals to report trending con-ditions while en route to the hospital or emergency care setting.
Janecke said much of the training surrounding ambu-
ticipants will gain insight into aromatherapy - the use of es-sential oils to support physi-cal, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Communicating with Your Teen: Yes, You Need to Use Social Media (#31598) is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at NICC Waukon Cen-ter. Parenting teenagers is all about communication, so get comfortable using Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and oth-er social media sites because thats how teens connect with others today. In this demon-stration class, learn how to set up accounts and use var-ious social media sites, how to post, friend, upload and download photos and videos, and how to do all this while safely maintaining privacy. Participants are asked to bring a smart phone, tablet or lap-top to class. For more infor-mation, call the NICC Wau-kon Center at 563-568-3060.
NICC Foundation receives grant at Calmar campus to support expansion of its Vet2Vet mentoring program
For many veterans, the journey from U.S. military service to re-integrated civil-ian life is not an easy one, and the Vet2Vet Mentoring Pro-gram at Northeast Iowa Com-munity Colleges (NICC) Calmar campus is receiving a grant from the Disabled Vet-erans National Foundation (DVNF) to expand its ser-vices to students who served.
The $9,468 DVNF grant to the NICC Foundation will support the Vet2Vet Peer Mentoring Programs goals to expand its presence on cam-
pus, and to provide ongoing resources that help student veterans integrate into cam-pus life and succeed academ-ically. The grant also funds a peer mentor staff position to work one-on-one with student veterans.
At the NICC Calmar cam-pus, the Vet2Vet program currently provides services that include peer mentoring, social networking, commu-nity engagement and other advocacy efforts to encourage military-friendly practices on
simulators, Janecke added.The new thing in health-
care is simulation because students learn by doing - its the most hands-on. Addition-ally, the simulators at both campuses have built-in digital recorders that will record ev-erything in video and audio, which allows instructors to create a DVR and then de-brief groups of three to four students. We can recap their training exercises and discuss things they did well or could improve upon, he said.
The ambulance simulators at both campuses were pur-chased and installed at a cost of approximately $80,000. The Bridges2Healthcare grant program at NICC,

Classroom learning at NICC is essential to providing effective, high-quality health-care training for students, yet it is experiential learning - the use of simulation - that offers students invaluable hands-on lessons and develops solid clinical and critical thinking skills.

of disability services and su-pervisor of the Vet2Vet Men-toring Program, identifi ed specifi c support services that would benefi t NICC student veterans, such as increased outreach, networking and counseling. Veterans may really be struggling on cam-pus. Who else is going to help a student veteran who is suf-fering? If they are suffering, they are suffering in school. The Vet2Vet members under-
stand one another and want to keep each other enrolled at NICC, Stamat said.
The Disabled Veterans Na-tional Foundation (DVNF) was founded in 2007 by six women veterans to help ad-dress the chronic gap in ser-vices these veterans face. To-day, DVNF exists to provide critically needed support to disabled and at-risk veter-ans who leave the military wounded - physically or psy-chologically.

How to stay within your home improvement budget
Courtesy Metro Creative Editorials
Home improvement projects range from small scale undertakings that can be tackled in a single weekend to large remodels that can take several months to complete. While no two projects are the same, every home improvement project demands that homeowners dip into their pockets and spend some money.
Much like the scale of projects varies greatly, so, too, do the nancial commitments required of homeowners to make those projects a reality. But no matter the size of the project, homeowners can nd ways to stretch their budgets without sacri cing the quality of their improvements.
Do your homework. Before you decide to make changes to your home, its best to rst do some research into any potential projects youre considering. Many homeowners have decided to dive into a project before they fully realize its scope and cost, and going in blind can bust a budget, turning what might have seemed like a relatively simple project into a money pit.
Understanding just what a project entails and how much its likely to cost can give homeowners an idea of what they can afford and where they might be able to stretch their budgets. For example, if you want to replace your kitchen countertops but cant afford engineered quartz countertops, you might be able to nd a less expensive alternative, such as tile, that you like just as much. But its best to research such alternatives before you decide to replace your existing countertops. If you cant nd a less expensive alternative, you might want to postpone the project until you can grow
your budget. But starting the project without rst grasping its true cost is a recipe for disaster, so do your homework before you nd your toolbox and start working.
Build unforeseen expenses into your budget. Another way to stay within your budget is to include budget-busting unforeseen expenses into the budget from the get-go. Whether youre doing the project yourself or paying a contractor, nearly every home improvement project will present some unforeseen, and costly, hurdles. For example, you might nd mold inside the walls when youre converting a basement, and it can cost a pretty penny to make that mold go away.
If you go into the project expecting such hurdles, then the nancial sting of addressing them wont prove too great a burden. But if the mold catches you and your budget completely off guard, you might be forced to overextend that budget or make sacri ces elsewhere in order to complete the project. Build some contingency money, including permit and permit fees, into your home improvement project to safeguard against such unforeseen issues.
Get to work. If youre hiring a contractor, speak to him or her before signing a contract to see if there is anywhere you can pitch in to keep the labor costs low.
You might be able to pitch in during the demolition phase, saving the cost of paying your contractors workers to tear down walls or remove debris you can just as easily remove yourself. Another way to pitch in is to do the end-of-day cleanup yourself. Any role you play with regard to labor will likely need to be negotiated upfront, but you can save yourself a substantial amount of money on labor if youre willing to get your hands dirty.
Determine if piecemeal is the most affordable option. Some-times it makes sense to tackle one project at a time, while other times you might want to combine projects to save on the cost of materials. For instance, if your ultimate goal is to install wood ooring throughout your home, determine if it makes more nancial sense to install the ooring all at once rather than doing one or two rooms at a time. You might save by buying all of your materials at once rather than buying a small amount of materials several times over the next several years.
Home improvement projects often go a long way toward making a home more enjoyable for its owners and inhabitants. And while such projects can be costly, homeowners who stay disciplined can still get their dream homes without busting their budgets.
