A native son is coming home, though residents of the community from which he came wish he were staying longer.
Following confi rmation from the U.S. military that the remains of the Rev. Al Schmitt have been positively identifi ed after nearly 75 years, St. Lucas is getting ready to remember its former resident.
The Rev. Schmitt was killed at Pearl Harbor Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, shortly after he fi nished celebrating Mass. He is credited with saving up to a dozen lives as his ship went down, and the Rev. Schmitt is recog-nized as the fi rst chaplain of any faith to die relating to World War II.
After torpedoes struck his ship, the U.S.S. Oklahoma, the Rev. Schmitt worked to help men to safety until rising waters claimed his own life.
The St. Lucas-born priest was serving in the military as a chaplain when the attack came.
Now, with his remains positively identified, he will be permanently laid to rest, after a visit to his native parish.
The Rev. Kyle Digmann, pastor of St. Luke and for the entire Christ Our Hope Cluster, confi rmed plans are moving ahead to honor the Rev. Schmitt with a special Mass that will take place Oct. 5 at St. Luke Catholic Church.
“Right now the plan is to have the archbishop celebrate a memorial mass at 6:30 on that Wednesday,” said the Rev. Digmann. “There will be a reception to follow.”
From there, the remains of the Rev. Schmitt will be taken to Dubuque, the city where he attended college and which claims an attach-ment to the Rev. Schmitt.
Still, it’s St. Lucas that reared the young priest, and St. Lucas still re-
members him, in ways big and small.
Favorite SonIn many places in St. Lucas, the
echoes of the Rev. Schmitt remain.Up the stairs at the German-
American Museum in St. Lucas is a special exhibit, one dedicated to the Rev. Schmitt. It’s one of many tributes to the Rev. Schmitt over the years.
The museum, formerly a school, is an appropriate choice for a me-morial for the Rev. Schmitt. It’s the place where he attended lessons throughout his early years.
As a boy, the sisters marched him and his classmates across the street to the parish church.
St. Lucas has never forgotten their young priest who died serv-ing his country. It's one of several ways the town has paid tribute over the decades, never letting go of his memory.
Clair Blong, president of the his-torical society, noted that the com-munity had repeatedly paid tribute to the Rev. Schmitt, not just once but over and over again. His memory has not been forgotten in the small town from which he came.
Born on a farm a little over three miles south of St. Lucas, Aloysius Schmitt was baptized, made his fi rst

Rendezvous Days Marks 40 Years
▪Will Honor ‘Fallen Comrades’
By Michael HohenbrinkEditor
The 40th Annual Rendezvous Days will honor “Fallen Comrades” as the community’s signature festival returns for another year.
The event is set for Sept. 24-25.
The festival initially got underway in 1977 after being organized by the Iowa Develop-ment Commission and the Iowa Conservation Com-mission, with the assistance and support of the community.
Rendezvous Days is a chance to remember a slice of early Iowa life, focused around the historic fort, which dates back to the 1840s. The fort was originally built to protect the
Winnebago Indians from members of other tribes and closed in 1849.
The fort then faded into the back-ground for many years. According to information from the city website, in 1855, the fort was sold at auction, and outside buildings were torn down. The fort remained in private hands until the 1920s when the Iowa Board of Conservation acquired the site.
Over the years, some repair work followed, and the fort was dedicated as a State Preserve in 1968. Seeking to promote the site, the fi rst Rendez-
vous Days celebration was held in 1977.
“It’s exciting…for such a small town to put an effort in for so many years…that’s amazing,” said Penney Neuzil, an organizer.
Ron Franzen, who has been involved since
the very first celebration, said he was not surprised the
event has lasted so long. The event is both an educational and an awareness event, encompassing small kids up to senior citizens.
Schools SeeEnrollment Gains
Two area parochial schools have been recognized for enrollment growth.
The Archdiocesan Offi ce of Edu-cation is recognizing archdiocesan schools that have posted enrollment increases of at least fi ve percent.
Both CFS and De Sales have re-corded gains in excess of that amount. CFS enrollment looks to be up 9.1 percent while De Sales is seeing an increase of seven percent.
Massive Rain Totals Recorded
In a normal year, northeast Iowa can see around 36 inches of rain.
During the month of August, rainfall totals in the Decorah area measured 13.39 inches, the National Weather Service said.
The month’s total is over 1/3 of the normal annual total and helps to explain just why the region feels so waterlogged.
The total for Decorah marks the highest seen through the area served by the La Crosse, Wis. offi ce of the weather service.
“The average rainfall for August is a rather uniform 4.25 to 4.5 inches across the [area covered],” the weath-er service noted in a report on the Au-gust rainfall.
Not surprisingly, river fl ows were observed at much higher levels than normal, and record crests were re-ported on the Upper Iowa River at Dorchester and on the Turkey River at Spillville and Eldorado.
Historical Society Historical Society Restoring Blacksmith ShopFormer St. Lucas Business Undergoing Work
By Michael HohenbrinkEditor
DeVere Manderfi eld remembers a bargain.
At a sale put on by the American Legion in the 1960s, he picked up a plow for $6.50.
The plow, in the condition he found it, was “worthless,” Mander-fi eld said.
So, he did what many in the town did when they had something metal that needed tended – he went to the blacksmith.
“Anything that [needed] fi xed or welded, Emmie would do it,” said Manderfi eld.
Edmund “Emmie” Hauer was the
town blacksmith as was his father, Joe Hauer, before him.
From a shop right by the main intersection in St. Lucas, the Hauer men for generations served the metal working needs of the community.
Manderfi eld can’t remember what he paid Hauer for the work, but he does remember that Hauer took something that was busted and made it new again.
Hauer was “very important” to the community, Manderfi eld said.
If you needed something done, Hauer took care of it.
Like Manderfi eld, Lee Stammey-er also remembers the Hauer busi-ness.
“Emmie was a good friend of
mine,” said Stammeyer.Born on a farm outside of town,
Stammeyer would stay in town at his grandparents’ place. While in St. Lucas, he would hang out with the younger Hauer and watch the elder Hauer go about his work.
Watching the elder Hauer shoe horses sticks out in Stammeyer’s memory.
Most of the time, the horse didn't feel pain, but then again sometimes, the horse would feel that nail going in.
Wrestling that large animal when it didn’t want to do it proved a mem-orable experience.

LordYour way you soon will wend.Oh may the Blessing from on HighYour labors all attend.
Keeping Memories AliveVera Wiest was born, baptized
and confirmed in St. Lucas. She made her fi rst communion in the par-ish church and gradu-ated from high school in the town.
It’s likely impos-sible to be any more of a native.
“I still love to visit [and] attend Masses, Funerals, etc. there,” said Wiest.
Wiest, who was 12 at the time, can re-member the day the Rev. Schmitt died.
“My parents, along with every person in St. Lucas, were very shocked [and saddened] with the news….” said Wiest.
Wiest’s brother, Donald, was in-spired by the Rev. Schmitt and talked his parents into signing him up for military service during his junior year of high school.
The Rev. Schmitt had a way of touching lives, and his influence would live on, both with her brother and with others.
In 1942, Archbishop Henry Rohl-man of the Archdiocese of Dubuque presided at a solemn Mass and the erection of a large bronze plaque commemorating the Rev. Schmitt. The plaque still can be seen to the right of the main entrance to St. Luke Catholic Church.
Over the years, residents contin-ued to remember the young priest.
Physical reminders include a memorial stone in the parish cem-etery where the bodies of the Rev. Schmitt’s parents were laid to rest. While their boy’s remains were un-claimed so far away, Henry and Mary (Kuennen) Schmitt were laid to rest in the same community they had lived their whole lives.
In 1946, a post of the American Legion was formed in St. Lucas. Post #691 is named the Aloysius Schmitt post after the young naval chaplain.
The post was able to put up a me-morial downtown, dedicated not only to all veterans but in particular to two native sons who died with war. A sol-dier in Vietnam named James Kruse and the Rev. Schmitt are both noted by name at the memorial.
Melvin Bodensteiner, adjutant of the American Legion Post, Post
#691, that bears the name of Aloy-sius Schmitt after the priest, is among those who wishes the remains would stay in St. Lucas. Still, for Bodensteiner, some consolation can be found in efforts to posthumously award the Rev. Schmitt either the Medal of Honor or the Medal of Valor.
Bodensteiner believes such an award might be forthcoming before
Dec. 7 this year, the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and of the Rev. Schmitt’s death.
Paying TributeWith the Rev.
Schmitt set to come home, however briefl y, emotions run high in the community. Many are pleased with the chance to pay due honor to a man who touched so many.
“[I]t’ll be great,” said DeVere Mander-fi eld.
Irene Franzen is among those to whom the mention of the Rev. Schmitt is familiar, not-ing that “everyone knew” the young priest.
In her case, the Rev. Schmitt played a role in the life of her hus-band.
“He got kicked by a mule,” said Franzen.
Fearing for his life, those around the young man called for the priest, and the Rev. Schmitt came out to anoint the young man, then 15.
The man healed, and the story was passed down.
While the chance to have the Rev. Schmitt back once more has the com-munity excited, the brevity of the stay is a source of frustration. For many, the parish cemetery, resting place of the parents of the Rev. Schmitt, is the logical choice for where to inter him.
“Well, I would love to see him up there,” said Wiest.
With regard to burial, family wishes are the deciding factor, and the Rev. Schmitt does have surviving family in Dubuque.
“It’s a valid reason,” conceded Stammeyer.
While this fi nal visit of the Rev. Schmitt back to St. Lucas will be too short for many, it will afford a chance to remember the town’s most famous son.
“Chaplain Aloysius Schmitt has remained the favorite and cherished son of St. Luke Parish and com-munity and an inspiration to all the veterans who served from the com-munity,” said Clair Blong.
Chaplain Aloysius Schmitt,Hero Of Pearl Harbor
Tell me a story about the seaOf seamen who served valiantly,Not just a tale of pirate plunder,
Or one that reeks with blood and thunder.And here's the answer the captain gave,
A story of one who died to save:In the dread, red dawn of December seven,
Down on Pearl Harbor like vultures from heavenSwooped Japanese bombers with fi re like sleet,
Intent on destroying our Pacifi c Fleet.‘Twas then that the mighty Oklahoma ship
In the fl aming harbor began to tip.In the hull of the boat were trapped seamenWith the porthole the only escape for them.
The valiant chaplain helped one by oneTo safety until the job was done;
But as the twelfth man escaped alive,Inundating waters came to deprive
The escape for him which to others he brought;And he in the sinking ship was caught.This is the story of Chaplain Schmitt--
A grateful nation remembers it.It is a story from the sea
Of one who died to set men free.On stone and bronze inscribe the story
Of a great man who died in glory.
— Poem by the Rev. Anthony W. Sigworth

communion, attended school and re-ceived confi rmation all right in St. Lucas.
Longtime pastor of the local par-ish Rev. Francis L. Schuh served as spiritual mentor to Schmitt for many years, both during the latter’s studies for the priesthood and continuing on through military service so far from home.
When the newly ordained Rev. Aloysius Schmitt returned from his theological studies in Rome, he said his fi rst Mass May 10, 1936, at St. Luke Catholic Church.
It was a big deal in the tiny com-munity. Though the Rev. Schmitt had spent most of his life in St. Lu-cas, time away in Dubuque and then in Rome for theological studies had kept him from his hometown.
A fi rst Mass in his home parish was a chance to return to his old stomping grounds.
Lee Stammeyer, now 95, served at that Mass. Stammeyer was 14 as
he watched the young priest give his fi rst Mass in his home parish.
Above all, the personality of the young priest stands out in Stammey-er’s memory.
“He was a man you could talk to,” remembered Stammeyer.
Stammeyer’s grandmother intro-duced the two men, and Stammeyer recalled playing checkers with him before he became a priest.
When it came time for the Mass, it was the fourth Sunday after Easter on the old calendar.
“I go to Him who sent me,” the Rev. Schmitt read from the gospel.
The words would prove prophetic for the young priest.
Irma (Schmitt) Luzum, now 90, also played a role in the fi rst Mass of the Rev. Schmitt. Luzum, a niece, recited a poem on the occasion, as did two other nieces, Germaine (Schmitt) Winter and Alma (Schmitt) Schneberger.
Decades later, Luzum is able to

Farm Safety Vital With Harvest TimeBy Michael Hohenbrink
Editor
Leaves are turning, and the fi elds are ripening.
The turn of the calendar’s pages means the hard work of farmers will pay off, but the arrival of harvest sea-son also calls for increased vigilance.
“This is one of the most dangerous times of the year for the farmer,” said Dan Neenan, director of the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS). The center is based on the Peosta campus of Northeast Iowa Community College.
The danger comes from a number of factors.
Farmers are using a lot of machin-ery and equipment, increasing their risk. They are also working “a lot of hours,” as Neenan put it.
Tired, and with a lot more expo-sure to potentially hazardous items, it simply makes sense that, with greater risk, a greater number of accidents will result.
Neenan noted that farm safety is important year round. Mistakes can happen at any time.
Still, the presence of factors such as long hours and heavy utilization of equipment means farmers are indeed at higher risk during the harvest sea-son.
It’s for that reason that annually a week in the second half of September, right around harvest time, is specifi cally recognized nationally for National Farm Safety Week.
This year, the event will run Sept. 18-24.
Neenan said that the mission of NECAS is to reduce the number of in-juries and fatalities.
For 2014, the last year for which figures were available, Neenan said 568 farming-related fatalities were recorded with 70,000 disabling injuries.
Neenan called agriculture the most dangerous industry in the United States.
Along with injuries to adults, 33 children are injured every day, and every three days, a child is killed in a farming accident.
This time of year represents a par-ticularly high risk to youth who often help with the harvest.
Milking before school, being out in the fi elds and other activities famil-iar to farm youth can lead to serious injuries.
In addition, non-farmers are also at risk during this time of year. One
major cause of accidents comes from the presence of farm machinery on the roads. With a piece of farm equipment going 12-16 mph, a vehicle coming along at 55 mph is going to come up on that piece of equipment quickly, Neenan explained.
Blind intersections due to the pres-ence of tall crops in the fi elds can also lead to injuries.
As such, it’s important to take pre-cautions.
“Now is the time to be checking that equipment,” said Neenan.

BLACKSMITH
The former blacksmith and welding shop owned by the Hauer family in St. Lucas is coming back to life.
Stammeyer remembers the daily drama of getting horses shod, part of the ritual of life in a small town.
Even after the automobile caught on, the Hauer business remained, handling the small metal projects that farmers and residents needed doing.
The business continued into the 1990s before Edmund called it quits.
After the death of Edmund, the Hauer family donated the historic blacksmith shop to the historical so-ciety in order to preserve the building and the history.
The shop is carefully being re-stored and will be open to the public in the future.
“We’re restoring it,” said Clair Blong, president of the historical so-ciety.
According to Blong, the historical society is in the process of putting a
new roof on the shop.The entire chimney and forge area
have been rebuilt. Mud and debris left by fl ooding have been removed, and a couple of overhanging trees have been taken out.
Now, installation of a blower to make the shop fully operational is needed.
The next phase of the restoration will be putting in lighting.
Already the shop has been re-painted back to its original rust red color.
The goal is to put the shop into service in giving educational dem-onstrations. So once again, the fi re will burn in the little shop. Visitors will see the red hot metal. And life will once again fi ll the little shop that served the town for so long.
Though it's a bit rusty, the care that went into this old furnace, built in 1887, is still evident.
LEFT: Clair Blong talks about the blower that still needs to be installed as the historical society works to get the old blacksmith shop operational. RIGHT: Horseshoes hang in the old blacksmith shop.
He credited the people working to keep it going who believe it is impor-tant for the younger generation to wit-ness what life was like in the 1840s.
“It’s a living history event,” said Franzen.
The nature of the event is some-thing special.
What is learned includes lessons “you can’t learn from a book because it’s real life,” noted Franzen.
Pioneer life in Iowa has been made vivid over the years since then as men and women dressed in period cos-tume show off early fi rearms, powder horns, tomahawks, knives and early skills to visitors.
A Conestoga wagon will also be on display that was pulled by oxen and
used to haul supplies out west. This year’s celebration will mark
four decades of the event.Kicking off this year’s celebra-
tion will be a cannon drill at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 24.
In commemoration, souvenir me-dallions featuring the “Fallen Com-rades” design, created by Fort At-kinson artist LuAnne Becker, will be available for purchase.

College Student Found Dead In RiverPolice are trying to determine just
what happened to a college student who was found dead in the Upper Iowa River.
The body of Bjorn Norderhaug, 21, was found Sunday morning after the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce received a report at 9:32 a.m. of a body near Clay Hill Road outside of Decorah.
Norderhaug was last seen alive af-ter leaving a bar at around 1:50 a.m.
Saturday. At 6:30 p.m., a missing person re-
port was fi led with the Decorah Po-lice Department. At approximately 7:30 a.m., Decorah Police, the Deco-rah Fire Department and Luther Col-lege staff conducted a search along the Upper Iowa River.
Following the call to the sheriff’s offi ce, rescue crews with the Deco-rah Fire Department and the Win-neshiek Medical Center Ambulance
were able to recover the body from the river. The sheriff’s offi ce, with the assistance of the Winneshiek County Medical Examiner’s Offi ce, was able to determine the identity as Norderhaug.
The incident remains under inves-tigation.
"The Luther community is dev-astated by this loss and continues to pray for Bjorn's family,” said Luther President Paula Carlson.

Apples Are VersatileApples may help keep the doctor
away, but they also are great to eat and cook with. Apples freeze well. My sister vouches that this method works well.
To eight cups of water add 2 table-spoons of salt. Stir to dissolve. Cut up your apples and put the slices into the water and salt mixture. Make sure water covers the apples. When ready to freeze and bag, drain the apples but do not rinse.
Apple Cider Cupcakes and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Buttercream
From Ashley B.
Cupcakes:2 eggs
1 2/3 cup all purpose fl our1 cup apple cider2/3 cup of sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanillaFrosting:
1 cup softened butter3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar1 teaspoon cinnamon2 tablespoons milk1 teaspoon vanilla
Cupcakes: Cream together butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Whisk together all of the dry ingre-dients in a separate bowl. Add the apple cider and the mixture of dry ingredients, alternating between the two, slowly incorporating them into the butter/sugar/egg mixture. Line standard muffi n cupcake tin with pa-per or foil liners. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake at 350 degrees for 17-19 minutes. Bake until toothpick or skewer inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Frosting: Whip butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla together with a mixer until light and fl uffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Add milk until you reach desired consistency. Transfer to piping bag and frost each cupcake once they have cooled. Gar-nish with an apple slice, if desired.
The following three recipes come from Pinterest.
Pecan-Caramel Cheesecake Dip
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 ounces (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup caramel sauce, divided1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup vanilla instant pudding mix (about half of a 5.1-oz package)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup toasted pecans1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
Start with pecans that have been toasted in an oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Once they cool, coarsely chop them with a large sharp knife until they’re in small pieces. Combine the room tempera-ture cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Mix until they’re light and fl uffy. Add 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce. (The remaining 1/4 cup will be used for decoration on top.) Beat everything together un-til smooth. Next add the powdered sugar and pudding mix and add your ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the bowl as well. Mix everything together on medium speed until fl uffy and creamy and a lovely pale caramel color. Add the miniature chocolate chips and all but a handful of the chopped pecans. Stir every-thing together by hand until it’s well-mixed. Scoop the Pecan-Caramel Cheesecake Dip into a bowl and top with extra caramel sauce and remain-ing chopped pecans.
Caramel Apple Taquitos
12 fl our tortillas5 oz. caramel sauce
20 oz. can apple pie fi lling1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar1 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. But-ter a 9×13 inch dish and set aside. Combine sugar, cinnamon and nut-meg in a shallow dish and mix well. Set aside. Chop pie fi lling into small pieces. Microwave tortillas for 20 seconds to soften and spread torti-lla with thin layer of caramel sauce down the middle. Cover caramel with diced apple fi lling. Roll tortilla and place in prepared dish. Brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining tor-tillas. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and bubbling on ends.
Baked Honeycrisp Apples
4 Honeycrisp apples1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup chopped walnuts
4 tablespoons butterCreamy caramel sauce (optional)
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice approximately 1/3 off of the top of the apples and scoop out the core, leaving a well in the center. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinna-
mon, cranberries and walnuts (using a spoon or fork) until blended. Stuff each apple with 1/4 of brown sugar mixture. Place apples in a deep bak-ing dish, topping each apple with 1 tablespoon butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Pour about 1/2 inch of water into the baking pan around the apples and bake for 50-60 minutes, until apples are tender. Serve warm, topped with caramel sauce drizzled on top of each apple, if desired. Also excellent served with vanilla or but-ter pecan ice cream.
Crock Pot Apple Pudding CakeFrom Taste of Home
2 cups all purpose fl our2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided
3 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cold1 cup milk
4 apples, peeled and diced (I used Gala Apples)
1 1/2 cups orange juice1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter, melted1 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine the fl our, 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the mix-ture until you have coarse crumbs. Stir the milk into the crumbs just until moistened. Grease the bottom and sides of a 4 or 5 qt. crock pot. Spoon the batter into the bottom of the crock pot and spread out evenly. Place the diced apples over the bat-ter evenly. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the orange juice, hon-ey, melted butter, remaining sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apples. Place a clean kitchen towel over the opening of the crock pot; place the lid on. This keeps condensation from the lid from going into the crock pot. Set the crock pot on high and cook 2 to 3 hours until apples are tender. Serve warm.
Till next time, apples always make a great snack!

AGE OF THE GEEKTravisFischer
After These Messages The world runs on advertising. Not just newspapers, though I greatly appreciate our advertisers and the money that allows us to sell these papers at such reasonable sub-scription rates (renew today!). Pretty much anything that lots of people will look at inevitably ends up the target of advertisers. Billboards, bus stations, I hear there are even com-mercials on television. And when Wells Fargo isn’t busy committing fraud and identity theft on its customers, it’s dumping mil-lions of dollars to have sports stadi-ums named after it. How much of our world runs on advertising? Consider this. Ad-block Plus is selling ads to be shown through its software that, as its name implies, is supposed to block ads. Recently, the company launched an extension of its “Acceptable Ads Platform,” which allows websites to purchase advertisements from a pre-selected white list. Users with the Adblock Plus extension (who opt to have the white list turned on) will see those pre-selected ads upon visiting that particular site. The “Acceptable Ads Platform” has been around for a while, but Ad-block Plus’s new service creates a new marketplace that streamlines the white-listing process. Everything about this situation is weird, starting with the Adblock Plus business model. Step 1. Give away free software to millions of internet users who don’t want to deal with ads. Step 2. Sell ads to those users. In a way it makes a kind of sense. Adblock Plus users aren’t its custom-
ers; they are the product. By estab-lishing a user base, it has effectively secured the exclusive ability to ad-vertise to a massive number of peo-ple. Advertisers have no option but to go through it. If that seems morally shady, that’s because it is. Let’s make no bones about it. This is a hair’s width away from straight up extortion. “Oh hey, nice website you’ve got here. Sure would be a shame if we gave tools to millions of people to visit your site without see-ing your ads. But hey, if you pay us a little bit, we’ll let people see your ads.” It’s like a war profiteer selling body armor to one side of a confl ict and armor piercing bullets to the oth-er. That said, Adblock Plus becoming a self-proclaimed gatekeeper for ad-vertising might still be the best out-come for everybody. Adblocking software didn’t just happen. It was a reaction to increas-ingly intrusive advertising practices. Gaudy ads that distracted from the content, elaborate animations that hogged memory and processing re-sources, full-screen overlays with miniscule close buttons forcing their way between you and the webpage you’re trying to look at. To say noth-ing of intrusive and unwelcome vid-eo, pop-ups and ads that tracked your web browsing habits. Advertising companies proved incapable of restraining themselves in their ever-escalating efforts for our attention. For millions of people, myself included, the willingness to support websites with our clicks be-
came outweighed by an unwilling-ness to deal with the toxic environ-ment that out-of-control ads created. This has created an all-or-nothing situation when it comes to advertis-ing. Sure, there are plenty of people out there simply unwilling to accept ads under any circumstance. Those people are selfishly entitled and should feel shame if they are capable of it. Plenty of others don’t have a prob-lem with the idea of advertising; it’s the execution that’s turned them off. White listing is a feature in most ad-blocking software, but that requires to manually opt in to every site. It’s something most people don’t have inclination to do. I feel a twang of guilt when I re-alize that I’ve forgotten to turn off adblocking on sites that have earned the fraction of a penny that my views are intended to provide, but the bad doesn’t outweigh the good. If adver-tisers could be trusted to not go over-board, we wouldn’t have this issue. If websites could fi gure out a way to monetize without ads, we wouldn’t have a problem. Neither is likely to happen. Ad-block Plus setting itself up as a mid-dle man is not ideal, but it may be a necessary compromise between ter-rible ads and no ads at all.

Neighbors Helping NeighborsTo the editor:We all receive political mail but
one piece this week caught my at-tention. It read “Neighbors helping neighbors, that’s how I grew up.” It was for Jan Heikes and it struck me as a perfect summary of her attitude on life and not simply a political slo-gan.
Heikes is running for State Sen-ate after a lifetime of service and dedication to others. Growing up on her family farm in Kansas gave her a love for the land, community and a rural way of life. It is no coinci-dence that she and her family were drawn to NE Iowa and have called it home for three decades. She believes in the values and community spirit represented here and so backs small businesses, renewable energy and lo-cal, informed community policy and planning. Jan’s background is social work, focusing on mental health. A vulnerable group of citizens and their families in NE Iowa have already benefi ted from her dedication. She
has championed community-based apartments for the chronically men-tally ill, affordable and accessible mental health care for Iowans and the preservation of our Medicaid. Her Des Moines lobbying and com-mittee work began years ago as part of her job.
Education? She is in favor of bet-ter access to pre-k education, more job training programs and also free access to our community colleges. How else can we build a stronger community and state if we do not fi rst invest in our ‘neighbors’?
Jan runs because she feels, after a lifetime of service, she can bring skills and experience to the State Senate. Her step forward is based on the best reasons possible, service to others and experience. “Neighbors helping neighbors” is her way of life and not a slogan alone and so she has my vote November 8.

Mastering Old TechnologyAt home on a recent Satur-
day morning, the thought entered my head that I could listen to some music. After a hard week, re-laxing on the couch and listening to Benny Goodman, Les Brown and other Big Band greats held some appeal to me.
My wife, a devotee of secondhand shops, is forever fi nding little trea-sures. As a result I had a new-to-me addition to my collection in the form of the masters.
So, on a Saturday morning, be-fore breaking my fast with bacon and eggs and that wonderful black nec-tar of the gods, I dared entertain the thought of some quality time with musical maestros who understood the value of a fedora, words that ac-tually rhyme and lyrics that actually make sense.
In pursuit of that endeavor, I asked one of the twins to bring me the cas-sette tape from the dining room table.
“What’s that?” he asked. We then went back and forth as I
tried to explain what it looked like.After he held up something ap-
proximately 8 1/2 by 11, it was clear he had no idea what I was talking about.
“It’s a generational differ-ence,” my wife explained.
With her help, said object was lo-cated.
Then, the fun continued.Asking him to load in the tape
proved to be…interesting. After he fi nally managed to locate the stop/eject button, and the tape deck was open, he had (I thought) successfully loaded it and needed only to shut it up, an action he kept trying to per-form. We fi nally realized he had the
tape upside down.Then, after I had gotten him to
hit the play button, came the task of explaining he needed to select the correct medium amongst phono/ra-dio/tape. Then the power switch and then walking him through turning up the sound.
The sounds of the Big Band era came forth.
“80s technology,” he opined later. “Who needs it?”
Need? Maybe not, but still I think he’s missing something.
While he would be right were he to argue that the device isn’t an abso-lute necessity, that’s beside the point. Having this old stereo, tape deck and all, means I can enjoy fi nds such as those Big Band masters.
That opens up a world of enter-tainment, a cheap one at that.
So, those old skills do have some value and not simply for amusing us older folk who do know how to use them. Ideally, at some point he might discover a wider world of music.
In the interest of that, I might next try to walk him through how to use a 45 on a record table.
If nothing else, it might give him something fresh to insist to his peers as evidence that his parents are hope-lessly over the hill, though it might also get him interested should he fi nd records someday.
John Denver, Tommy Dorsey, Chubby Checkers and the rest await.
Having access to a wider range of talent than just what’s on the shelves now seems like a fair trade for his labors of a couple minutes. And that would seem to justify why “80s tech-nology” might, just might, mind you, have the teeniest bit of value.
Police Decision Needs Careful ScrutinyRecently the city of Calmar fl oat-
ed an idea which would eliminate its second police officer position. In theory, the move could save the citizens of Calmar money, however, those proposed savings shouldn't be rushed into until all of the idea's costs are known and until it weighs all of the pros and cons in the best interests of Calmar.
All options should be on the table with this decision. While we aren’t advocating for it, if the idea would work with part of the department's staff, then perhaps the city should consider contracting all of its servic-es with the sheriff's offi ce.
Should the idea truly be in Calm-ar's interest in eliminating one offi cer position, then Calmar ought to look at pursuing the idea in its entirety. Above all, the city should look out for its own interests. Is it worth it to save a few dollars to provide less community policing services? What type of workload will the lone offi cer have? Will he be the one responsible for enforcing all of the ordinances? What type of response time would the county have to respond to calls in Calmar when the offi cer is off duty?
As presented so far, the move would see the city discontinue hiring a second offi cer for its own police de-partment once its current junior offi -cer accepts a job with the Winneshiek County Sheriff's Offi ce, which is pre-dicted to happen in the near future. With a bigger budget for salaries, an advantage that comes from having county tax rolls on which to draw from, the sheriff's offi ce can pay its employees more. That is reality.
What is also reality is that the
county will continue to poach junior staff to fi ll its own staffi ng needs, a situation the city has seen time and again. Short of greatly increasing police payroll, such poaching will not cease, and from the county's per-spective, is logical. Small cities like Calmar fi nd talent, pay for training at the police academy, and then fi eld test recruits in their fi rst months or years on the job. There is a lot for the county to like about that state of af-fairs.
Smaller cities, like Calmar, go to the trouble to advertise and fi nd po-tential recruits, pay their way through the academy and get them experience on the streets. The sheriff’s offi ce, rather than going through that same set of headaches, gets new employ-ees who are no longer green. It’s a winning situation for the county. It’s what is in the county’s best interests.
The recent offer by Sheriff Dan Marx whereby the city would re-ceive police protection via a county deputy (at Calmar’s expense) offers an intriguing way out of that cycle, a cycle that admittedly has Calmar at a disadvantage.
Councilwoman Jeanie Kirkeberg has pointed out that the city would save on having to pay benefi ts with the new plan. The city would also see savings on training, radio equipment and the expense of a second patrol vehicle.
Insurance, vacation pay, repair costs and equipment purchases would also go down.
Those are all valid points, but if they make sense for one position, would they not also make sense when applied to both city police positions?
For its part, the county would enjoy having a deputy whose pay is largely being footed by someone else. That makes sense for the coun-ty.
Before taking action, though, the city needs to make sure this is re-ally in Calmar’s interests. Some im-portant questions need to be asked before making this move. One key consideration includes whether a county deputy will adequately meet the city’s needs for enforcement of local ordinances. This has been an issue elsewhere. Having passed or-dinances, would the city actually be able to enforce them under this new arrangement?
Another important consideration involves the city of Ossian. Cur-rently, Ossian contracts with Calmar for police protection. Ossian pays Calmar, helping Calmar balance its own books. Under the new arrange-ment, would Calmar be able to con-tinue providing such protection to Ossian, and would it be worth Calm-ar’s expense to keep doing so? If it would not make sense under the new arrangement, Ossian should be noti-fi ed. This is both in Ossian’s interests and in Calmar’s interests.
While the arrangement proposed by the county could indeed end up making sense for Calmar, the ar-rangement needs careful scrutiny be-fore any agreement is made. Wide-spread community input on the topic will be key as Calmar needs to make sure the arrangement is indeed what is best for Calmar.
We trust the city council will make the right decision in the end.

Lady Warriors Defeat Lady TrojansBy Michael Hohenbrink
Editor
Hosting South Winneshiek, Tur-key Valley saw a loss as the two Win-neshiek County teams played.
Thursday’s game saw the Lady Warriors emerge triumphant, though with TV offering increasing competi-tion throughout the night.
The night’s final set was hard fought as South Winneshiek narrow-
ly won in a set with a fi nal score of 28-26 in their favor.
“Last night was a great victory for the team,” said South Winneshiek Coach Darcy Einck. “We had a num-ber of girls step up their game and play very consistent and strong.”
Einck praised the Turkey Valley team.
“Turkey Valley has always been a team that makes it hard to put the ball away,” said Einck. “We were able to
win the long rallies and execute our offense. This was a great win for the ladies to build off of.”
Turkey Valley took the loss in stride.
“We showed a loss tonight, but I feel we had a win when it came to playing like a team,” said Turkey Valley Coach Tammy Vrzak. “The girls are starting to come together and get more comfortable playing together.”
TV Destroys Riceville
Turkey Valley advanced to a 4-0 record with a win Friday night over Riceville.
“This was a hard fought game,” said Coach Mark Scott. “The score was not an indicator of how the game was played. Riceville played hard till the end.”
Several offensive penalties early in the game hurt Turkey Valley.
“The offensive line did a great job of adjusting to the defensive fronts and stunts,” said Scott.
TV’s defensive game was strong.
“On defense we played well,” said Scott. “Will Einwalter and Cody Hackman each had interceptions to stop Riceville drives.”
Up next for the Trojans is AG-WSR at home for Homecoming Fri-day night.
Lady Warriors Claim Second Place
The Lady Warriors went 2-2 on Saturday at Springville as they earned second place overall following a loss to North Cedar in the championship match.
Losses were seen against North Cedar and Springville while victories were won against Belle Plaine and Jesup.
“The girls are continuing to work to improve their game,”
said Coach Darcy Einck. “This weekend I started to really see a team who is meshing together and working towards their goals. After a slow start at the tourna-ment, we were able to rebound and get a couple of good wins, and put ourselves in a position to win the tournament. Although we [fell] short, it was a success-ful day and we grew as a team.”

Warriors Devastate BulldogsFor the entire fi rst half of Friday
night’s game, South Winneshiek kept MFL MarMac from even get-ting on the scoreboard.
The Bulldogs fi nally managed to score in the second half, but much of the damage was done as the Warriors cruised to a 28-8 win at home.
“We were able to get our running game back on track,” said Coach Ja-son Ohrt. “Our offensive line worked hard this week and helped lead the way to 360 yards rushing. Rodney Schwartzhoff ran the ball better this week and Joel Hanson did a nice job running the option vs. an aggressive MFL defense.”
Schwartzhoff led the team in scoring with 12 points.
Ohrt noted some areas on which to work coming up.
“We will need to clean up the penalties and quarterback/center ex-changes,” said Ohrt. South Winneshiek's Joel Hanson is brought down by Riley Doeppke of the Bulldogs.
