NEIA RC&D to host Paint Creek JapaneseKnotweed Project Field Day June 27

Last summer, NortheastIowa Resource Conservation& Development (RC&D),the Iowa Department ofNatural Resources (DNR),the U.S. Forest Service,Iowa Natural HeritageFoundation, AllamakeeCounty Supervisors, andarea landowners partneredtogether to implement a newthree-year initiative to controlJapanese Knotweed (Fallopia

japonica) on private lands inthe Paint Creek Watershed ofAllamakee County.

Since then, the DriftlessChapter of Trout Unlimited(based in Decorah), theHawkeye Fly FishingAssociation (based in CedarRapids), the AllamakeeCounty Master Gardeners,

and many individuals havevolunteered to join the effortto control and ultimatelyeradicate Japanese Knotweedin the watershed.

The work began lastsummer with GPSing theknotweed stands in thewatershed. To date, 26 acres ofthe weed have been surveyed,the majority on Paint Creekbetween Waterville and thewest border of the YellowRiver State Forest, plusseveral stands on homesteadsin the watershed away fromthe stream. Plans are tocomplete the survey between

Waukon and Waterville thissummer. Also prepared lastsummer were three projectdemonstration sites to showresults of different innovativetreatment methods andtiming.

PUBLIC FIELD DAY

The public and localofficials are invited toattend a Japanese KnotweedProject Field Day visiting thedemonstration sites Friday,June 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 12noon. There is no charge forthe event.

The morning will beginwith registration from 8:30 to9 a.m. at Allamakee CountyWaterville 55 Park located at938 White Pine Road east ofWaterville. The program will

begin promptly at 9 a.m. andwill include presentations byRC&D Project CoordinatorRichard Kittelson, who willtalk about the history ofknotweed and the projectsbeginnings; DNR FisheriesBiologist Bill Kalishek, whowill discuss knotweedsimpact on stream habitatand the streams fish; anda demonstration of troutstocking by the Big SpringsFish Hatchery.

The program will continuewith stops to at least two,and if time allows, threedemonstration sites to view

and discuss knotweed controtechniques and results oherbicide stem injecting andusing a recently developedspray foam applicator systethat appears to be verypromising. Also presentinginformation will be DNForester Bruce Blair, who wildiscuss the background onthe DNRs control efforts ithe Yellow River State Forest,and John Lampe, developer othe foam applicator system.

As much of the infestedarea as possible will betreated with the ultimate goaof complete eradication othe Japanese Knotweed in thewatershed. However, becauseof the current extent of theplant and its tenacity, threeyears will not be enough time

to accomplish the goal. It ishoped that initial successeswill encourage more partnersto join the effort. This is thefirst and largest eradicationeffort of its kind undertakenin Iowa. Volunteers in theeffort are needed and will beheartily welcomed.

Empty Nest Winery being featured in statewideFarmers Market promotion project this summer

Dave & Pam Kruger, Empty Nest Winery ...

This summer Dave andPam Kruger, owners of EmptyNest Winery of Waukon,are gaining recognition notonly for their successful,expanding wine business,but also for their work in theLocal Foods movement beingselected as one of the Faces

of Northeast Iowas FarmersMarkets.In the Spring of

2013, Northeast IowaResource Conservation& Development (RC&D)opened an application processfor a project to highlightfarmers market vendors.The organization receivedfunding from a USDAFarmers Market PromotionProgram grant secured by theIowa League of RC&Ds. Theproject, a collaborative effortinvolving individual RC&Dsacross the state, chargedNortheast Iowa RC&D withselecting 10 applicants fromits seven-county region tobe profiled as the face ofnortheast Iowas farmersmarkets. These applicants

were then interviewedand photographed by aprofessional photographerto capture each producers

unique story.

The Krugers submitted anapplication to be one of thefeatured producers and wereselected. Now their photosand story are helping promotefarmers markets acrossthe region. Northeast Iowa

RC&D used the photos of theKrugers and other producersto create large and medium-scale prints, flyers, banners,television commercials,bookmarks and greetingcards. These promotionalmaterials are being featuredin area businesses like JavaJohns, Oneota Coop, andRestauration in Decorah,as well as the DriftlessArea Wetlands Centre inMarquette, and Ems CoffeCo in Independence.

Having the Krugers bepart of this project has beena huge asset to the successof the project. Not only dothey bring something uniqueto the farmers markets,their business model andproduction philosophy are

grounded in all things local,stated Amanda Streeper,Northeast Iowa RC&DProgram Manager.

DON'T LET THEM DRINK AND DRIVE!

As a community, we allsupport law enforcementefforts to protect us fromtheft, burglary and assault.Yet, many otherwise law-abiding citizens continueto view impaired drivingmerely as a traffic offense.However, impaired drivingis a serious crime that killsmore than 16,000 people andinjures nearly 305,000 othersevery year.

The consumption ofalcohol often increases therisk of being involved in a caraccident by a great degree. Ina situation warranting a quickreaction, the intoxicated braintakes a long time to decipherthe signal the eyes are tryingto send. By the time the brain

understands the situation andtries to react, it is very lateand the danger is imminent.Young people, unfortunately,are over-represented indriving accidents involvingalcohol.

We need to reduce drinkingand driving in AllamakeeCounty. We need to teach ouryoung people that it is neverokay to drink alcohol and getbehind the wheel of a car. Weneed to change the culturearound drinking alcohol anddriving before we lose onemore person to an alcohol-related accident.

Allamakee CountyStrategic PreventionFramework State IncentiveGrant (SPF SIG) iscollaborating with the

Allamakee County SheriffsOffice to implementSaturation Patrols and SafetyCheckpoints this summer inAllamakee County.

At safety checkpoints,law enforcement officialsstop vehicles in a specificsequence, such as everyother vehicle or every fourthvehicle at certain points onthe road and check for safetybelt usage and other safetyissues, which may includeimpaired driving.

Saturation patrols are aconcentrated enforcementeffort that targets driversexhibiting recklessness,speeding, aggressive

driving and other behaviors.Saturation patrols may bespread over a larger area thanthe safety checkpoints.

Allamakee County SPFSIG has already furnishedthe Sheriffs department withtwo passive Alco Sensors thatcan detect alcohol in the airof a motor vehicle. And, theSheriffs Department andother local law enforcementofficers have recently takenpart in additional trainingwhich is intended to buildon the Standardized fieldSobriety Test practitionercourse.

What can AllamakeeCounty do about thisimportant issue? Socialpressure is very effective

in reducing drunk driving.Dont ever let your friendsdrive after drinking. Takeaway their keys, have themstay the night, have them ridehome with someone else whohas not been drinking, or dowhatever else is necessary- BUT DONT LET THEMDRIVE!

Waukon City Council continues toaddress concerns with Aveka facilityby Bob Beach

During public commenttime at the regular meetingof the Waukon City Coun-cil Monday, June 16, for-mer Councilman John El-lingson, who now serves asChairman of the AllamakeeCounty Public Safety Cen-

ter Committee, encouragedthe Council to send a repre-sentative to the Committee'smeetings. Ellingson said thatthe County may be buildinga new jail and public safetycenter in the near future, andbecause it may end up beingbuilt in Waukon, the Com-mittee would appreciate inputfrom the City going forward.Councilman Steve Wiedneragreed to attend future meet-ing of the Committee.

Under regular business,Mayor Loren Beneke told theCouncil and citizens presentthat he had met with repre-sentatives from the Avekaplant on the north side oftown regarding recent com-plaints about the smell causedby the plant's operations. Hesaid that the plant had beenshut down for a few days andthat a different product is nowbeing processed that shouldnot produce a smell.

Beneke added that Avekais looking into pricing forequipment to reduce or elim-inate odors and particulateemissions from the plant. Hesaid that Aveka may at somepoint return to processing theyeast product that was thesource of the smell that drewso many complaints fromarea residents. "It's goingto take us a while to get thisfigured out," Beneke said."We're going to keep workingon it."

Allamakee County Eco-nomic Development Execu-

tive Director Laura Olson saidthat Aveka is very concernedabout recent complaints andwill continue working withthe City on solutions.

As for recent complaintsabout particulate emissionsfrom the plant, Beneke saidthat he had been assured byAveka representatives thatno emissions from the plantshould react chemically, buthe requested that anyone whois concerned about the myste-rious residue collect a sample

for testing.The Council held a publichearing regarding the rezon-ing of property owned by theCharles Bulman estate fromR-3 (single and two-familyresidential) to R-4 (transitiondistrict) to allow for the con-struction of condominiums.Hearing no comments fromthe public, the Council ap-proved the first reading of anordinance to make the changein zoning.

City Attorney Jim Garretttold the Council that the Al-lamakee Community SchoolDistrict has asked when theCity would like to have the

junior high practice fieldtransferred to the City. TheCouncil agreed on July 1 forthe property transfer.

Garrett also told the Coun-cil that the school district hasexpressed some interest inutilizing some of the propertythat the City now owns fromthe former Town and Coun-try Trailer Court on the westside of town. After some dis-cussion, the Council agreedto work towards selling thenortheast section of the prop-erty to the school district foruse for the school's homeconstruction program.

The Council also discusseda request from the school dis-trict to reduce its bill for san-itary sewer due to a recentlydiscovered water leak. Sincenone of the water from theleak entered the sanitary sew-er system, the Council agreed

to reduce the school district'sbill by about $3,000, the dif-ference between the school'saverage sewer billing and thebilling for the period during

High SchoolYearbook.

The 2014 Kee girls track team fielded on overall young

squad, having just one each of senior and junior upperclassmenleaders to set the pace for this years squad. A total of sevenfreshmen made up a majority of this seasons participants,joining four sophomores to create a rather strong nucleusof possible returnees with veteran experience for futurecampaigns. In addition to the young overall make-up of thisyears squad, the Lady Hawks also went head to head with someof the strongest track and field competition in the state, as wellas with Mother Nature, who emerged victorious all by herselfby either canceling or forcing postponement of a couple meets.

This years lone senior was Ellie Heiderscheit, who led byexample in not only being the only senior to participate thisseason but also taking the challenge of high school track andfields longest distance races in most every meet. Her dedicationand leadership will be sorely missed and difficult to replace.

THANK YOU AND BEST OF LUCK
