The two-year well-water study would be conducted in Grant, Iowa and Lafayette counties. It will assess how widespread well contamination is, identify sources of contamination and analyze risk factors. The Lafayette County Ag Stewardship Alliance paid $7,000 of the study cost af- ter it learned last month that the finance committee of the county board removed funding for the work from the county’s 2019 budget. County supervisors this week unani- mously approved covering just more than $8,600 of the cost via a donation from the Lafayette County Housing Authority, pending the approval of the housing au- thority committee. The move came after nine residents, including Stephanie Eastwood, of Wiota, asked the county board to fully fund the study. “Lafayette County is a county of dairy farmers, and I’m concerned how this makes dairy farmers look,” she said. “I think it’s embarrassing, and it makes us look like we’re backwards.” Prior to the supervisors voting on a res- olution for next year’s budget, Supervisor Robert Laeser proposed an amendment that it include the $8,600 to fund the re- mainder of next year’s cost of the study. With the budget motion already made, su- pervisors voted it down on a vote of 9 to 7. That led to the debate on how to fund the rest of the groundwater and geology study because county board Chairman Jack Sauer refused to recognize Laeser’s motion. “For eons around here, the county board rules have been when you make a proposal for spending money, you have to come up with a revenue source,” Sauer said. “You have to come up with $8,000 to consider your motion, and right now you don’t have that.” Supervisors weighed a range of propos- als — from taking from the carryover funds from the veterans committee to borrowing money for the study. Supervisor Bob Boyle suggested the housing authority, which has about $140,000 in its activities fund after it re- cently sold its apartments in South Wayne. The housing authority budget is not part of the county budget, and it is a sepa- rate county entity. Boyle’s motion for the donation was ap- proved and included a provision to set up a fundraising committee to reimburse the $8,600 with collected private donations. In addition, committee members will seek to collect another $15,400 to pay for the sec- ond year of the study.

Nostalgia for moptop hair, flared polyester pants and all things 1970s filled Dubuque’s Five Flags Cen-ter on Thursday night as rock band REO Speedwagon took the stage and jammed.
The group has sold more than 40 million records since its 1967 forma-tion. The concert was stacked with reams of hits.
LONGTIME FANSThe audience, which numbered
about 1,800, cheered for “Take It on the Run” and “Can’t Fight This Feeling.”

wagon lead singer and guitarist Kevin Cronin chatted up the crowd.
