It never hurts to dream big. Growing up on a farm in central Missouri, Christie Dennis is proof that a small-town girl with motivation and a work ethic can have a life full of adventure, live around the world and have a rewarding career while helping oth-ers. On Friday, Oct. 28, Dennis will retire from a 23-year tenure as Fayette administrator/city clerk. It is only the second job of her career, and she leaves big shoes to fi ll, having brought in $4 million in grants, state funding and savings to the city she has served. One of six children, Christie was nearing graduation from State Fair Community College when she was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency back in 1974. She was one of two young women chosen from the school, where she was studying secretarial science. After a security clear-ance process of several months was completed, Christie be-gan work in September. She can laugh now, admitting, “When I took the job, I

After two years of renovations, the doors to the Up-per Iowa University (UIU) President’s Home in Fayette will once again be open to the Peacock community. On behalf of UIU, President William R. Duffy and his wife, Sharon, will celebrate the occasion by hosting an open house during the University’s “Blue Pride Worldwide” 100th Homecoming on Friday, Oct. 7. The President’s Home, located across from the Fay-ette campus at 308 Washington St., has served as home to university presidents and their families since 1900. In those nearly 120 years, it also has accommodated a large number of dignitaries, guests, and special events. To ensure the President’s Home is around for many years to come, a renovation project commenced in 2015. Each room in the house underwent some type of trans-formation or improvement, including fresh coats of paint, refi nished wood fl oors, installation of new cabi-netry, and the addition of an HVAC system. All of this was made possible with over $100,000 in donations. “On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we wish to thank every person who made a gift to help renovate this very special home and landmark,” said President Duffy. “As we celebrate our 100th Homecoming and Upper Iowa’s amazing history, the doors to the Presi-dent’s Home are reopened for the enjoyment of the en-tire Peacock community.” The President’s Home Open House will be held from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7. In addition to touring the home, visitors will enjoy desserts and re-freshments. “Over the past three years, many alumni have shared with Bill and me their special memories of visit-ing the President’s Home,” said Sharon. “As a result of these gracious donations, the President’s Home is once again a gathering place that will create memories and bring pride and enjoyment to the Upper Iowa Univer-sity family for years to come.” Meanwhile, another UIU landmark will be open to the public for the last time on Friday, Oct. 7. The UIU

Board of Trustees earlier announced its decision to close Colgrove-Walker Hall on the Fayette campus. The building needed extensive and costly repairs if it were to remain in operation. Homecoming visitors are invited to participate in a special tour of Colgrove-Walker Hall from 11 a.m. to

didn’t even know what the CIA did!” However, what the young Missouri gal did anticipate was a life of fascinating experiences that she hoped would include travel. Arriving in Washington, D.C., she found a place to live across the river from Georgetown that was close enough toallow her to ride the bus to work. The next January, she metDavid Dennis upon his return from an assignment with the CIA in Sweden. She and the young man who’d grown up inWest Union dated for a little less than two years before they married and were sent on assignment to central Africa. After completing a three-year assignment there, the Den-nises moved to Cyprus, followed by Greece, where their daugh-ter, Molly, was born. Then a family of three, David and Christie continued working for the CIA as they returned to Africa and worked in Zaire.

The Fayette City Council appointed Randy Sandhagen to the City Council to fi ll the vacancy left when Councilman Kris McGrane resigned Sept. 7 to accept the position of city clerk/administrator. Sandhagen had earlier shown an interest in being named to the council when another councilmember re-signed. His appointment is through December 2017. All fi ve councilpersons will be up for election in November 2017. Randy and his wife, Nancy, are longtime residents of Fayette. They have three adult children and one grandchild. In related business, new City Clerk/Administrator Kris McGrane was also sworn into offi ce. As a result of the council undergoing a transformation with three new councilmembers appointed this year, Mayor Andrew Wenthe said he will be making committee appoint-ments at the next meeting of the council. In other business Monday night, Councilmember Tif-fany Kragnes questioned attorney John Hofmeyer III’s sub-mission of concerns with a proposed rental housing code. “I don’t recall the City Council extending any offers … this was done at his own behest,” Kragnes said. As a result, the council chose not to review the docu-ment, as the issue of considering a fi rst reading of the pro-posed code was not on the agenda. Mayor Wenthe said because discussion of the proposed code has been ongoing for more than a year, he would not be putting the topic on a future agenda unless a council-member made the request. Trick-or-treating will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31. In other business, the council approved the Annual Urban Renewal Report. City Fall Cleanup Day will be Tuesday, Oct. 18, for Fay-ette citizens who call City Hall before Oct. 14 to make ar-rangements for pickup.

Gundersen Health Sys-tem and Palmer Lutheran Health Center are celebrat-ing the coming-together of the two entities into Gundersen Palmer Lu-theran Hospital and Clinics with a “Coming Together” celebration from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13, in the outpatient parking lot of the local hospital.   The two offi cially merged on July 1, after a long history of collabo-ration. There have been concerns from some in the community as to how this would affect their care. Palmer Lutheran wants to ease those concerns by giving patrons a chance to tour the hospital and see what added benefi ts the

larger health system can provide. “The purpose of the event is to let people come and take tours,” said Jamie Hoey, Gundersen Palmer Lutheran Hospital mar-keting manager. “A lot of people are asking what the merger means. How are Gundersen and Palmer go-ing to work together, and the whole purpose is to show now that we are one. We have always worked re-ally well together, but now we are sharing staff, we are sharing providers. “At this time we want to do something for the community to tell them we appreciate them and we are here to stay,” she added. While tours are going on, kids’ activities will be set up in the outpatient

parking lot. Emergency ve-hicles, including a police car, fi re truck, ambulance and even the helicopter, will be available for kids to tour. “The helicopter has kind of a negative conno-tation,” Hoey noted, “but really, it’s kind of the op-posite. If you hear a heli-copter coming in, it means someone’s life is being saved because we need to get them to Gundersen in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, Iowa City or wherever they need to go very quickly.” Palmer will also have a bounce house, a pet-ting zoo with pony rides, a photo booth complete with Snapchat fi lters, and fun little games such as bean bags. The Shriner clowns will be on hand to make

balloon animals while a professional face painterwill be available as well.A free meal with hot dogs or walking tacos will be provided, with ice creamfor dessert handed out by the Fayette County DairyQueen Princess. Casey Kline of Cedar Rapids will help the crowdrock the evening away. Kline performed at Playingon the Plaza in West Union, and Hoey noted he was a crowd favorite that plays alittle bit of everything. “It is like a carnival,” Hoey said enthusiasticallyof the event. Be sure to check out Palmer’s “Coming Togeth-er” event from 4:30 to 7:30p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13.

Palmer, Gundersen celebrate merger

When Molly was 4 years old, they took assignments in England and continued living there for the next four years. The Dennis family moved to Samoa in the South Pacifi c, living there just a year, before the couple decided to retire from U.S. government service and move to Fayette, where they could raise their then 9-year-old daughter. Although the Dennises had bought a home in Pensac-ola, Florida, they decided Fayette would be a better place to raise Molly, who graduated from North Fayette in 2001. They moved into town on April 1, 1993, and Christie began work with the city as its administrator/clerk on Aug. 1 of that same year. “When I came here, all the fi nances were done on pa-per,” Dennis recalled. “They wrote all the checks by hand.” In her fi rst six months, Dennis computerized the pay-roll and payment of claims. She and then assistant clerk, Kara Burns, often worked nights, inputing information. Dennis soon found herself immersed in an aggressive agenda for the City. New sewer and water main was installed in a block of Jones Street that October, and 7th Street got an asphalt overlay. The following February, the mayor and Fay-ette City Council formed a committee to establish an Urban Renewal Area for a tax-increment fi nancing (TIF) district. In May 1994, the City was awarded the fi rst of what would become many, many grants to benefi t progress in this town of less than 1,500 residents. A $180,000 grant was used to rehabilitate 10 owner-occupied homes. A month later, with Ernie and Joyce Dahlquist, the City established a 10-acre subdivision west of Lovers Lane, installing water and sewer mains, storm sewer, asphalt street, and curb and gutter. In August 1995, the City replaced four blocks of old sew-er mains on E. Water Street, using a Community Develop-ment Block Grant (CDBG) of $136,780. A DNR grant made it possible to remove the old tennis court and erect new play-ground equipment in Rainbow Land Park. In March 1996, a $295,960 CDBG aided in the $412,953 cost of wastewater treatment facilities improvements. An $899,991 street project was completed in September 1997, including various curb and gutter, storm sewer and as-phalt overlay work. In October 1998, the City completed the fourth holding cell at the sewer lagoon with a $280,583 CDBG. In March 1999, a $155,250 CDBG was awarded to the City for housing rehab of six houses. Christie assisted Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission by providing pertinent information for the grant application. That same month, Dennis and Mayor Bill Dohrmann negotiated with then Supt. Ron O’Kones and the North Fayette school dis-trict to quit claim school property for the construction of a new Rainbow Land Day Care Center. May 17, 1999, is a day Christie says she will always re-member, as two-thirds of the city was fl ooded by the Volga River, which crested at 18¾ feet. The fl ooded area was de-clared a state and federal disaster as it was the worst fl ood in the city’s 125-year history and resulted in $2 million damage. Twenty homes were lost, and 14 properties in the fl ood-plain were bought out. One house was moved out of town, seven were burned, three were demolished, and the Maple Motel was bought out and relocated. Christie said the ad-ministrative work related to the fl ood was probably her greatest challenge during her 23-year career as administra-tor/city clerk. “It went on for quite a while, and the fl ood buyout was a half-million dollars. It was a lot of work and a lot of time completing paperwork for FEMA,” she remembers. But in the end, the city saw a concrete fl ood wall to the west and a berm built to the east of the Main Street bridge to protect the downtown. Also that summer, Rainbow Land construction was completed, and Pattison’s built a $411,000 grain-processing facility, getting a three-year 100 percent tax abatement be-cause it was in Fayette’s urban revitalization area. In November, Dennis was pleased to see the USDA ap-prove a $50,425 grant for distance learning and telecommu-nications regarding creation of an ICN (Iowa Communica-tions Network) site at the city library. It was the fi rst ever awarded in Iowa, which was a special feather in Dennis’ cap. In 2000, the City received a $350,000 CEBA grant for Decker Acquisitions to purchase Blessing Industries. The following year, the City granted The Monopoly Group a $250,000 TIF for the construction of the new AmericInn. A $50,000 TIF grant for construction of a new 12-unit apart-ment building was awarded to Dean Franzen in November 2001. There were a number of street projects completed in 2002, and the $1.5 million project for the back nine holes was completed at Big Rock, with the entire project and fun-draising run through the City. In July 2003 Dennis and then Fayette County Economic Development director Connie Smith applied for a $409,632 Vision Iowa CAT grant. Their original grant was amended and awarded in August 2004. Also in 2004, the city initiated the Downtown Facade program. In August, a $285,000 Com-munity Attractions and Tourism grant was approved for a $1.39 million project including irrigation of the front nine holes at Big Rock, sports complex construction, completion of the opera house renovation and show-ers/restrooms at Klock’s Island park, in addition to other miscellaneous projects such as the Veterans Memorial and land-scaping at City Hall square. In October, a REAP grant of $75,000 written by Dennis was approved for Fay-ette’s multi-use trail and bridge. The fol-lowing March, an IDOT-National Recre-ation Trails grant of $236,260 was awarded for Fayette’s multi-use trail and bridge. It was the largest award in Iowa that round – a feat that Dennis said would probably rank at the top of her career accomplish-ments. The fi rst phase of the project was completed in September 2007. “It’s such a nice trail and so many peo-ple use it,” she says of the asphalt surface that offers scenic views of the Volga River and the city throughout. Not only is the rec trail used by local residents, campers at Klock’s Island, and guests of Boarders inn, but by residents of neighboring communi-ties and students, staff and employees of Upper Iowa University. In February 2008, the City received $615,174 from a portion of the sale of prop-erty in Illinois that David Bolger had placed in the City’s name. David Bolger’s fond-ness for the Fayette community meant he gifted the City with several properties that when sold, allowed the City to fi nance var-ious projects that altogether had a value of more than a million dollars. Christie said getting to know David Bolger, his son and staff, along with han-dling the sales of the properties he gifted in California, Texas, Michigan, Oregon and other states, was an intriguing experience

during her 23-year career with the City. “I always knew the city was very fortunate to have the Bolger funds,” she said, adding that being able to leverage those monies to do projects the City otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford was a very unique aspect to her role as Fayette city administrator. In 2009, Christie helped plan the celebration that hon-ored David Bolger by dedicating the trail bridge over the Volga River in his name. In August and September 2009, the City installed new sewer and water mains on two blocks of Mechanic Street at a cost of $227,858. The city also purchased its fi rst lot on which a new home would be constructed by Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation. In 2010, the City was awarded a $500,000 grant through the Iowa Dept. of Economic Development (IDED) to ben-efi t the wastewater treatment facility modifi cation. The city also earned a $312,800 grant through IDED for a housing rehabilitation grant for eight owner-occupied homes. The City received a $700,000 grant award from the State Recreation Trails program to benefi t extending the city’s existing trail system to Volga River Recreation Area. In January 2014 a $979,144 downtown facade program was completed with the fronts of 19 buildings rehabilitated and restored. The age of the buildings dated from 1890 to 2000. Property owners who participated paid just 20 per-cent of the total cost with grant funds and the City paying the remaining 80 percent. There were many other projects, street and build-

ing improvements, and grants awarded to the City duringChristie Dennis’ career. Without a doubt, she acquired areputation throughout northeast Iowa for her grant-writingskills. “Christie had a critical part, if not the key component,in much of the development of Fayette the past 23 yearsand has always shown dedication to our community,” saidMayor Andrew Wenthe. While she alone had a hand in acquiring more than $4million in grants, she also aided the city in improving itselfby providing a supporting role in acquiring several milliondollars more in grants and loans. For her own part, Dennis said, “I’m proud of doing themost I could for the town.” She is a role model for others in attaining a goal of leav-ing Fayette better than when she started. After Christie has worked her last day, she said she andhusband David look forward to spending more time withtheir daughter, Molly, and her husband, Dr. Pat McGonagill,a critical care surgeon at University of Iowa Hospitals andClinics in Iowa City. The couple and their children, Sophiaand Jack, reside on a farm three miles south of Solon. Christie will also spend time investigating her fam-ily genealogy and completing some long-delayed projectsaround the house. The City will host a reception in herhonor at a time and date to be announced. The Fayette City Council recently hired Kris McGraneas its new city clerk, and he began working with Christie onFriday, Sept. 30.

To the editor: When most people hear the term, “domestic violence,” they may think about recent newswor-thy events which include popular sport personali-ties or celebrities. On the other hand, it may also hit too close to home through personal experience or through a family member or close friend. That is why the month of October is set aside to remind ourselves and oth-ers that domestic violence is present in too many homes, right here in our ru-ral communities and neigh-borhoods. When we look at a

crowd of people, we are not able to distinguish those who have had a life affected by violence in their home. That is because violence does not follow the size of a person’s bank account or his or her employment or education status. The cli-ents we serve at Helping Services’ Domestic Abuse Resource Center show us that it often affects those we least expect. So, please join us in recognizing that October is Domestic Violence Aware-ness Month. In order to bring aware-ness to domestic violence, we will have Silent Wit-nesses displayed through-

out the seven counties our program serves. These dis-plays are life-size cutouts that each represent an in-dividual from Iowa whose life was cut short by his or her abuser. They will be displayed at local libraries, hospitals, law enforcement agencies, post offi ces and colleges. Last year, our staff and volunteers answered 1,198 calls through our hotline. From those numbers, we assisted 321 new clients and their children in a va-riety of ways. These clients could be any one of your friends or someone you are acquainted with. Whether someone you know has

been affected by dating vio-lence, elder abuse or any type of relationship vio-lence, we are thankful that our staff and volunteers are always available to help. If you are also interest-ed in becoming a volunteeror if you would like to learnmore about our services,please call our 24-hour Re-source Line at (800) 383-2988. You may also learnmore at www.helpingser-vices.org. Kathleen Davis, direc-tor Domestic Abuse Re-source Center Helping Services for Northeast Iowa, Inc.

According to the Iowa Department in Aging, 21 percent of Iowa’s popula-tion are over the age of 60.  Projections for the state show that this percentage will continue to increase, which will also increase the need for community sup-ports and services for the elderly, people with dis-abilities and caregivers. Over the past year, Northeast Iowa Area Agen-cy on Aging (NEI3A) has worked to provide services and supports to help em-power people with choices to help them stay in their homes and communities.  NEI3A would like to share its accomplishments at an Annual Meeting and

Centenarian Event being held from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the Heartland Acres Agri-bition Center, Highway 20, Exit 252, in Independence. Join NEI3A as it takes a look back at its year of changes and a look ahead to upcoming opportunities. There will also be a special presentation by Governor Terry Branstad as he hon-ors our local centenarians. This event is free and anyone is welcome to at-tend, but please let orga-nizers know you are com-ing!  To register, call Janna Diehl at (319) 874-6843 by Monday, Oct. 10.

IAP deadline extended Governor Terry E. Branstad has received word that President Obama approved his request for a Presiden-tial Disaster Declaration for Fayette and seven other counties impacted by severe storms in August.  The counties included in the declaration are Fayette, Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Floyd, Howard, Mitchell, and Winneshiek.  The governor sent the request for a declaration on Sept. 19, in re-sponse to signifi cant damage that was caused by severe storms and fl ooding from Aug. 23-27.  The declaration by the Presi-

dent will provide federal funding to the declared counties under the Public Assistance Program. A Presi-dential Major Disaster Declaration for Public Assistance puts into mo-tion long-term federal recovery pro-grams, some of which are matched by state programs, and designed to help public entities and select non-profi ts. Public Assistance funds may be used for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities and may include debris removal, emergency protec-tive measures, repair of damaged public property, loans needed by

communities for essential govern-ment functions and grants for pub-lic schools.  The Governor also received notifi cation that the Presidential Disaster Declaration includes fund-ing to conduct hazard mitigation ac-tivities for the entire state. With this funding, Iowa will be able to mini-mize the impact of future disasters by taking steps now to strengthen existing infrastructure.  This Presi-dential Disaster Declaration is the 23rd Presidential Disaster Declara-tion Iowa has received since March 2007.

President approves disaster declaration

On Monday, Sept. 19, a Fay-ette resident reported a suspicious vehicle about 10:04 p.m. The mo-torist said a vehicle behind her fl ashed its high beams, trying to get her to pull over as she trav-eled south on Highway 150. The vehicle followed her for about two miles until turning off. The Fayette County Sheriff’s Offi ce as-sisted with this call. Authorities responded to a call for medical assistance at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, on King Street. Upper Iowa University no-tifi ed local police of a 21-year-old student in crisis, possessing a fi re-arm. The student was transported to the hospital for a psychological evaluation. A lengthy follow-up investigation has been conducted by both the Fayette PD and UIU. On Thursday, Sept. 22, an

11-year-old at the Fayette library reported he saw a white male rid-ing his white BMX bicycle stolen from his home earlier in the week. The man was found at Cabo Blue bar and identifi ed as Donald Rum-ley, 22. The bicycle was returned to the victim. Two hours later that day, a resident at 612 Washington Street contacted police to report she’d taken in a homeless man named Donald Lee Rumley and allowed him to sleep in her home the pre-vious evening. Later he returned, saying he’d been stopped by po-lice and was going to leave town. She said he then went into her garage and brought out a BMX bicycle he stashed next to a fence on a neighbor’s property and left. The bicycle was described as a 16-inch racer model painted silver

with red lettering. There is a black and red skull pattern on its seat. If anyone has additional in-formation or knows who owns the mentioned bicycle, please call the Fayette Police De-partment at (563) 425-3500. The in-vestigation is ongo-ing. Also on Thursday, Sept. 22, UIU administra-tion reported that

a fraudulent paycheck was cashed against the university’s payroll ac-count. The suspect, Manish Jha, 19, allegedly altered a $349 check made out to him to instead read $1,000. The check was cashed at an Iowa bank, but since then Jha hasn’t returned to school. Later in the week, at 1:09 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, police of-fi cers responded to a complaint of an unruly customer at Shiner’s Bar, 206 S. Main. Cheyanne M. Slick, 21, of Elgin and her hus-band, Manish Jha, were both found outside the bar. The offi cer said due to their level of intoxi-cation, he attempted to fi nd the couple a ride home rather than letting them drive. Slick became increasingly angry and belliger-ent and barged back into the bar, where she caused a disturbance with the bartender. Slick was arrested for disor-derly intoxication and taken to the Fayette County Law Enforce-ment Center. A Fayette County Sheriff’s deputy came to assist at the bar until a ride arrived for Jha. In the meantime, Jha had crept away and was seen driving away in his vehicle. The deputy stopped the vehicle and arrested Jha for operating while intoxicated in ad-dition to other related traffi c of-fenses. On Friday, Sept. 23, a Sum-ner resident reported that while he was in Fayette visiting a friend, someone used a beer bottle to smash in the windshield of his

1999 Buick Park Avenue. The crime occurred overnight. Dam-age is estimated at $300. On Saturday, Sept. 24, at 10:45 p.m., a resident of 509 Mechanic Street reported thata parked vehicle was blocking his driveway. Fayette Police re-sponded and met with the vehicle owner, who removed the vehiclewithout incident. At 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, a loud house party was re-ported at 510 Mechanic Street. An offi cer responded, and the partyhosts voluntarily ended the party without incident. Following heavy rains, the Fayette PD worked in tandem with Mayor Andrew Wenthe and city department heads to monitorrising water in the Volga River. Of-fi cers watched the areas overnight and met with many residents toassess their potential emergency needs. No serious fl ooding prob-lems occurred.

Open ForumTo the editor: I am writing to you today to support my sister-in-law Janell Bradley for County Supervisor. Like in all families, when Janell married my brother there is always that little bit of skepticism. Once we all got to really know Janell, what a wonderful addition we had to the Bradley family. When we have a fam-ily project that needs to get done, Janell is the fi rst one to step in. She not only helps organize the project but makes sure all fam-ily members are onboard. I don’t have to tell you how hard it is to get families to agree on anything. As a result of her per-severance, Janell tries to bring everyone together

toward a common plan, rather than push her own agenda. Janell will bring that same tenacity to the County Board of Supervi-sors. Janell will look at each issue and make a decision on its merits. Colin Powell just re-cently said it best. People in America today have to stop voting for the party, whether it is R[epublican] or D[emocrat]. They have to start voting for the per-son. Today in Fayette Coun-ty, that person is Janell Bradley. I am not only proud to have Janell as my sister-in-law, but consider her a true friend. Jerry Bradley Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

With the arrival of fall classes, Rob Hudson, Upper Iowa University director of Library Services, has been settling into his somewhat new surroundings, intro-ducing himself and provid-ing assistance to Peacock community members vis-iting Henderson-Wilder Library on the Fayette cam-pus. UIU previously an-nounced the hiring of Hud-son in June. Additional staff mem-bers include Jodi Hill-eshiem, assistant director of Library Services, and Victoria Troemel, Elec-tronic Services librarian. Previously serving as Tech-nical Services librarian at Indiana Tech Law School in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Tro-emel began her duties in mid-September. Hudson and Troemel were hired after the retire-ments of three longtime li-brary staff members. Becky Wadian, director of Library Services; Carol Orr, associ-ate director of Library Ser-vices; and Mary White, as-sistant director of Library Services, served UIU for a combined nearly 125 years. “I want to fi rst say that I have the utmost re-spect for the previous li-brary staff,” said Hudson. “Their tenure, the legacy they left behind, and their knowledge of this entire institution and its history is immeasurable. The three weeks I was able to work alongside Becky and her staff last summer provided me new insights in librari-anship. It was such a fun and educational experi-ence. “At the same time, Jodi’s 10-plus years of ex-perience here in the library has been extremely ben-

efi cial to me since my ar-rival,” he added. “Similarly, I’m already appreciative of Victoria’s insight, and her technical services expertise is certain to provide a ma-jor upgrade to our digital library in the near future.” A Las Vegas, Nevada, native, Hudson was most recently employed as li-brary director at the United States Sports Academy in Daphne, Alabama. He previously worked abroad as  an assistant professor and librarian at Lakehead University School of Law in Canada. In addition, he was a lecturer in law and the librarian at Qatar Uni-versity Faculty of Law. He also served as an associate dean for the Law Library at Phoenix School of Law.  Hudson started a pro-fessional  librarianship at Nova Southeastern Uni-versity in Florida as Fac-ulty Services librarian and adjunct instructor.  In 2015, he taught at the Sports Au-thority of Thailand in Inter-national Sports Law. He and his wife, Irma, have two daughters, Alli-son, 9, and Grace, 6. “It was a love for learn-ing and my continuing interest in an interdisci-plinary library career that led me to Upper Iowa Uni-versity,” said Hudson. “I thoroughly enjoy the per-sonal and professional sat-isfaction I get from work-ing with library patrons on a daily basis. In addition to the educational interaction with students, I look for-ward to working alongside university archivist Janette Garcia and gaining more knowledge about UIU’s rich history.” The new library direc-tor’s immediate goals in-

clude assisting Garcia with designing new archive dis-plays and planning for po-tential renovations to the library’s second fl oor. Ad-ditional goals include cre-ating more digital library services, providing services to UIU centers around the globe, developing a learn-ing commons area for the benefi t of all students, and creating more collabora-tion with the UIU Student Center and local Friends of the Library organizations. “The unique thing about Henderson-Wilder Library is that it is so much more than a typical campus library,” said Hudson. “The reference materials and archival information avail-able here are a benefi t to everyone in the region and beyond. In addition to the public, I extend a special invite to UIU alumni during the upcoming Homecom-ing celebration to visit the library on the Fayette cam-pus. For those who haven’t stepped through its doors in a while, you may be as-tounded by what awaits you.”

North Fayette Valley assistant foot-ball coach Clint Rodgers will be inducted into the Upper Iowa University Athletic Hall of Fame in special ceremonies Satur-day night. When notifi ed last July by UIU ath-letic director David Miller, one of Rodg-ers fi rst reactions was “The banquet’s not on Friday night, is it? I can’t attend because I’ll have a football game!” Fortunately for all concerned, the banquet, which had been moved to Fri-day, was moved back to Saturday night a couple of years ago, so Rodgers can be one of the fi ve to earn induction this year. He will be going into the Athlete category. Rodgers is the story of a local boy making good. The 1990 graduate of North Fayette went to UIU, where he was a two-year starter at both offensive guard and line-backer. He was a team captain for two years and earned many postseason ac-colades as a linebacker in 1994-95, in-cluding Second Team All-American by the Don Hanson Gazette; Second Team All-Conference; and a Strength and Con-ditioning All-American. In 1996, he served as a student coach for the linebackers. After graduating in 1996 with a de-

NFV FB coach to UIU HOFRodgers: A local boy who made good

Clint Rodgers

gree in elementary education with a PE minor, Rodgers went to Chadron State in Nebraska to earn his MA in second-ary education with an emphasis in P.E. While there, he coached football and track and taught some college courses. Rodgers was hired by Turkey Val-ley Community School in 1999 and has spent the past 18 years there teaching P.E. and health, adding social studies a few years ago. As a Trojan, Rodgers has coached junior high track (18 years) and basket-ball (11 years). From 1999-2002, Rodgers was an assistant coach for Upper Iowa for the O line and DBs. Then it was back to TV to be an assistant coach for the football team. In 2008, Rodgers switched to be an assistant coach for NF. When asked why the change, Rod-gers responded, “I love Turkey Valley, the kids and staff there are awesome. However, I always wanted to go back and coach at NF because of the tradi-tion, and it would allow me to coach my three sons as they grew older, giv-ing them a chance to see the game at a different level with me being a coach.” His chance to return came when Ron Wymer retired and there was an opening on the staff. Rodgers ap-proached new head coach Bob Lape and his assistants and was told to “get on over here.” Rodgers has been happily married for 17 years to his college sweetheart, Amanda Kopplin. Their oldest son, Gunner, is a sophomore running back/defensive back for the TigerHawks; he has even stepped in as an emergency QB for the freshman team. Kale is 13 and, like his older broth-er, is a four-sport athlete. Seven-year-old Cain is itching to get involved. When Miller called to inform Clint of his HOF nomination, Rodgers fi rst

reaction said, “I didn’t even know what to say at fi rst because it was such an unexpected honor.” Since then, Clint has had time to refl ect, saying, “It’s really not just my honor, but rather it’s an honor for the entire group of guys I played with. Football is a team sport, and the entire team has a role in what individuals can accomplish. “I hope a lot of the guys from those years can get back because it is about them. Hopefully, someday, more can get in to the Hall of Fame because they are just as deserving as I am,” Rodgers noted humbly. So, on Saturday night West Union’s Clint Rodgers will be the 189th member of the Peacock Hall of Fame. For anyone wishing to join the new inductee on his special night, tickets will be available, at the door in the Student Center ballroom for $25 each. Social hour will begin at 6 p.m., with the program to follow at 7 p.m.

NFV (4-0, 6-0) @ Columbus (1-3, 1-5)

“Columbus is a team that is struggling right now,” stated NFV head football coach Bob Lape. “They have a big line, a big running back, and a pretty good QB.” The Sailors use the I-formation

shotgun and like to throw a lot, al-though their running back can keep the chains moving. On defense, Columbus uses mul-tiple fronts, including a 4-3 and a 4-4. However, Lape expects his op

The visiting Trailblaz-ers fought hard, but they just didn’t have the athletes as North Fayette Valley cel-ebrated Homecoming with a 42-7 win over Dyersville Beckman. As NFV head coach Bob Lape put it, “They have some very good talent, but are struggling because they don’t have enough of it.” Beckman got the open-ing kick and picked up three fi rst downs before losing the ball on downs at the NFV 43. NFV commenced a seven-play drive to paydirt. The Kuhens brothers, Trey and Tanner, picked up the fi rst 24 yards and Jesse Mackey broke up the mid-dle and raced virtually un-touched for 33 yards and a 7-0 lead with 3:17 left in the opening quarter. Once again the visi-tors picked up a pair of fi rst downs, one on a 26-yard pass play that the NFV de-fender tipped into the air, but it came down in the hands of the Beckman re-ceiver. However, the Tiger-Hawk D stiffened, forcing another punt. This time, Josh Guenther partially tipped the ball, but the Ti-gerHawks were still pinned on their own 15. Neither team could manage much on its next two possessions, but the Beckman punt into the wind was short and NFV had possession on the visi-tor 39. It only took six plays for the TigerHawks to score with Tate Hovden going around the left side for the fi nal 16 yards, giving NFV a 14-0 lead with 3:20 left in the fi rst half. Beckman hit a 5-yard pass before going to the well one too many times, and Blaize Frieden picked off a pass and apparently ran it into the Blazer end zone. However, offi cials marked the ball dead on the 1. From there, Trey Kuhens bulled in for a 21-0 lead with 1:48 left. In the second half, NFV scored twice in the fi rst seven minutes to put the game on ice. NFV took the open-ing drive 80 yards in just three plays. Tanner Kuhens ripped off 44 yards, and

Jesse Mackey threw the halfback option to Josh Guenther for 32 yards put-ting the TigerHawks ahead, 28-0, with just 43-seconds gone in the half. The TigerHawks’ next drive saw 19- and 36-yard runs by Trey Kuhens before Beckman picked off a pass at its 5. All that did was de-lay the inevitable as NFV forced a three-and-out be-fore setting up shop on the visitor 37. Tanner went for 19, Trey went for four and three yards, and Hovden fi nished off the “drive” with an 11-yard scamper and it was 35-7 with 5:21 left in the third quarter. With the clock in con-tinuous running mode, the Blazers fi nally put some-thing together, going 64 yards in nine plays. NFV drove deep into Beckman territory before being stopped by another pick. A penalty and another sack forced the Blazers to punt. Only this time Guen-ther broke through and knocked the ball into the visitor end zone, where Hovden fell on the loose ball for NFV’s fi nal score of the game with 6:27 remain-ing to play. With another 35-point lead, the clock could again run continuously, and Beckman quickly ran out of time. The difference in the game was yards per play. Beckman had almost as many fi rst downs as NFV (14-13) and actually ran more plays (55-44). However, the TigerHawks gained over twice as many yards, 412-179. Most of the visitors’ yardage came from the pass or quarterback-keepers. Lape noted, “We knew they had a good QB who could extend plays and speed at wide receiver. We wanted to put pressure on the quarterback; if we got to him, fi ne, but we had to apply pressure.” In applying the pres-sure, the TigerHawks had at least fi ve sacks and kept the Blazer QB off balance most of the night. Meanwhile, Trey Kuhens picked up 106 yards on 12 carries, and Tanner had 100 yards on 11

This Week’s GamesNFV @ ColumbusCascade @ Beckman Union (LPC) @ Waukon Monticello @ Oelwein

Last week, NFV had more yards passing (171) than rushing (153) against Oelwein. The last time that happened to a West Union team was the 2005 semifi nal playoff game against Sigourney–Keota when NF passed for 276 yards and ran for 141 in a 34-20 loss. Curiously enough, the QB in 2005 was Kirby Hovden. Against Oelwein, the QB was Kirby’s young-er brother, Tate. Our thanks to NFV assistant coach Justin Heins, who laboriously searched the records for the data. Coach Heins has done a won-derful job of archiving North, NF and NFV football archives. Go to www.nfvschools.com, then to the High School section, and fi nally to athletics. In the Football section, scroll down to fi nd the archives; there is a treasure-trove of material.

Dylan Larson led the D with 10 stops, seven of which were solo. Jace Bur-row added nine tackles, and linemen Jordan Baumler and Ethan Lape pitched in with seven tackles apiece; each had four solo tackles. After the game, Lape stated, “We knew they’d make some plays, but as we keep telling the kids, ‘If you win three of every fi ve plays, you’ll win the game,’ and we managed to win three of the fi ve.”

Zombies invaded the town square in West Union Friday afternoon! Actually, the zombies were members of the NFV cross country team, who probably turned more than a few heads as they ran the Homecoming football in costume and makeup from Dyersville to West Union. The group then ran around the courthouse before posing for this picture, then disappearing back to school for the big pep rally. The zombie runners include (front, l-r) Emma Moyle, Kaylin Muggler, Megan Feldman, Grace Kerr, Callie Halverson, Faith Johnston, Weller Clark, and Kaitlyn Rausch; (row two) Easton Halverson, Pauline Clark, Courtney Streif, Macy Niewoehner, Clayton Schupbach, and Weston Fantz; (row three) Jace Wolverton, Gina Gibson, Taylor Ney, William Miller, Allie Winsell, Megan Niewoehner, Josh DeLuca, Thomas Amundson, Jesse Daughton, Chandler Douglas, Caleb O’Hare, and Carson Ward.

It was a busy week for the North Fayette Val-ley cross country teams on Tuesday ran in the 21-team Jesup Invitational, and on Friday it lugged the Home-coming football from Dy-ersville to West Union. That night, the team did one lap

around the football stadi-um before presenting the game ball to the offi cials. Tuesday in Jesup, the boys and girls combined to set 13 season-bests. “After injuries, ill-ness, and ineligibility have plagued us, we fi nally got some fall-like weather, and the runners who were

healthy really took ad-vantage of it,” stated head coach Tracy Nuss. Macy Niewoehner wasn’t feeling 100 percent but was still able to give a medal-winning perfor-mance, fi nishing 24th. Seniors Kaylin Muggler and Megan Feldman were the next two TigerHawks

to cross the fi nish line, both with season-best times. Nuss said of the two, “Their leadership and con-sistency have been greatly appreciated this year.” Gina Gibson was just three seconds off her best time as she placed 95th in the fi eld of 143. Callie Halverson and

O’Hare, Clark run under 19 minutes

TigerHawk XC sets 13 personal-bestsCourtney Streif continue to rehab from injuries but ran varsity for the fi rst time in several weeks. St-reif ran her season-best time. Kaitlyn Rausch set a season-best in just her sec-ond time running for the varsity. The JV did not have a full team but all three run-ners, Emma Moyle, Taylor Ney and Faith Johnston, fi nished within 14 seconds of each other and all in season-best times. The boys also clocked some excellent times. Caleb O’Hare and Weller Clark ran side by side, fi nishing 51st and 52nd, respectively; both set personal-bests in their run. The TigerHawk duo also ran the fi rst sub-19-minute times of the season. In fact, excluding Danny Halva, their 18:47s are the fi rst sub-19-minute times in the past two years. Jesse Daughton ran a 19:53. Weston Fantz had a little more kick in the fi -nal quarter-mile as he fi n-ished just ahead of Easton Halverson. Fantz missed a season-best by under a sec-ond, and Halverson did set his season-best time. Carson Ward, who set a season-best, and Chan-dler Douglas closed out the varsity times. For the JV, Josh De-Luca set the pace, but Jace Wolverton, who ran a

season-best, was right be-hind. Clayton Schupbach was third for the JV, and Thomas Amundson ran a season-best to round out the pack.

NFV volleyball won an exciting fi ve-set marathon Tuesday, Sept. 27, at Clay-ton Ridge. However, it ran into powerful competition at the Columbus Tourna-ment Saturday in Waterloo, dropping all four games. “What a night!” was all NFV head volleyball coach Bruce Ehler could say after his team’s thrilling fi ve-set victory Guttenberg. The TigerHawks es-caped, Clayton Ridge 25-19, 15-25, 25-17, 14-25, and 15-10. Interestingly enough, all three NFV wins came from the west side of the court. “I’ve seen it like that in their gym, where the serv-ing is more effective from one side than the other,” noted Ehler. Tiffanie Koch opened the fi rst set with a quick kill when the Eagle blockers couldn’t react fast enough to her quick jump; she had four kills in the set. Marrah Burrack had a four-point serve with an ace as NFV won the fi rst set handily. “I was hoping that would take some of the wind out of the Eagles’ sails,” stated Ehler. However, CR came back more aggressively in taking the second set. NFV took control of the third set with a four-point serve, including an ace, by Macy Halverson. Burrack nailed four kills in the set. After a nice run, the TigerHawks tied the fourth set at 11-11 went on. How-ever, CR regained the mo-mentum and won the set. The TigerHawks jumped on the Eagles early in the deciding set, blowing out to a 4-1 lead. However, CR fought back to take a 9-5 lead. Koch served NFV to a 12-10 lead. Later, Jade Daughton got to a free ball, knocking it to Marin Ehler, who fed Claire Hanson for the fi nal kill and the ex-

hausting win. Koch- 15 kills, 3 blocks, 2 aces; Burrack- 9 kills, 4 digs, 2 aces; Hanson- 8 kills, 5 blocks, Fantz- 5 kills, 12 digs; Ehler, 35 as-sists, 6 digs; Daughton- 15 digs, 9-10 serving, 1 ace. “We played just un-der the level of our com-petition in every match,” explained Ehler after the TigerHawks were shut out at the Columbus Tourna-ment. Perhaps a big week of Homecoming activi-ties took something out of the team, not to mention the fact that they were up against some very good teams. In match one, NFV lost 21-14 and 21-18, to Indepen-dence, ranked 11th in Class 4A. Next came Marion, ranked third in Class 4A, who survived game one, 21-18, and dominated game two, 21-6. NFV did better against Class 5A Waterloo West, losing 19-21, 21-17, and 16-18. Perhaps those games took something out of the TigerHawks as they lost the fi nal match to Don Bosco, 21-14 and 21-15. Ehler ascribed the Ti-gerHawks’ woes to “facing good teams when we didn’t have our best focus and in-tensity.” With a serving rate of 85 percent, NFV certainly had problems with the serve. It missed some key serves late in almost every game. However, Ehler did see some light at the end of the tunnel, stating, “If we had cleaned up our defense and communicated better, we could have won both matches against ranked teams. We’ve shown that we have the talent to com-pete with top-level teams, we just have to go out and do it.” Hanson- 16 kills, 6 blocks; Koch- 15 kills, 6 blocks; Burrack- 15 kills, 11 digs; Fantz- 14 kills, 5 digs; Ehler- 60 assits, 15 digs, 6 aces; Daughton- 20 digs.

Upper Iowa University and SW Minnesota State combined for over 1300 yards of offense Saturday night in Marshall, Minne-sota. In the end, the Mus-tangs won the shootout, 59-4, as UIU turned the ball over four times on intercep-tions and lost one fumble. Both teams scored early and often with SWMS driving 74 yards to open the game. UIU came right back on an 83-yard kick return by Darius Cohen setting up a 14-yard run by Darius Por-ter. The Mustangs took control with two long TD passes, but the Peacocks never gave up and kept fi ghting back to stay in the game. In fact, the game was an aerial show with SWMS going 43-52 for 482 yards. Upper Iowa threw 64 times with 42 completions for 388 yards. However, UIU had the four picks to just two for the Mustangs. Both teams also rushed well, totaling of 437 yards, with UIU getting 207 yards. However, SWMS broke off runs of 55 and 64 yards in the fi nal quarter to send the Peacocks to 1-4.

20 carries. Dimitri Morales threw for 388 yards to fi ve differ-ent receivers. Jalen Amis (134) and Skyler Lehmann (116) each had 100-yaards receiving. Zach Gardner and Mi-chael Siech each had 10 tackles for UIU. SW alum Jordan Rommes had his second pick in as many weeks; this one he ran back for 26 yards. Afterwards, head coach Tom Shea stated, “We bat-tled hard against a very

good football team. It could have gone either way, but we had too many turnovers on offense, and we gave up too many plays of over 20 yards on defense. Those long plays kept changing the momentum. “We have to learn to handle adversity a little better, but I can’t fault how well the guys played. Some-times they may have played too hard. They were so busy trying to make plays that they tried to do more than their job, and that’s when

you make mistakes.” This week is Home-coming for the Peacocks. They will face Winona State,which is 4-1. Its strength is on defense, where it is very physical upfront. The front seven will slant a lot. On offense, the War-riors run a tradition offense with a very good pocket passer. They like to run the ball and try to hit the deeppass. Kickoff will be at 2 p.m. in Harms-Eischeid Stadi-um.

The West Central girls’ volley-ball team lost its only match-up of the week, 3-0, to the Starmont Stars on Tuesday, Sept. 27. Starmont came into the match-up ranked No. 14 in Class 1A, but since then it has fallen to No. 15. The Blue Devils battled.   The

team’s heart and determination can’t be questioned, but on that Tuesday night, the Stars were just simply better. Starmont took the game in three straight sets, 25-9, 25-12, and 25-8. Other stats from the game weren’t available at press time. The Blue Devils still remain in

search of their third victory of the season. Achieving that, would give them one more win than the team had last year. The 2016 Regional volleyball pairings have been released. West Central will take on East Buchanan in the fi rst round at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18, in Winthrop.

The fi nal score of the West Cen-tral Homecoming game against the Dunkerton Raiders, 52-27, wasn’t very indicative of how close the matchup really was. Dunkerton struck quickly in the fi rst quarter, moving the ball down-fi eld with ease before 1-yard and 5-yard touchdown scampers. After two 2-pt. conversions, the Blue Dev-ils found themselves in an early hole, 16-0. Collin Kime fumbled the ball on Dunkerton’s 27-yard line on the Blue Devils’ opening possession. “They did what we expected, but we were just a step slow in the fi rst half,” said Steve Milder, Blue Devils head coach. “We were making the reads, but getting there a little late and not making the tackle.” The Blue Devils put together an impressive drive on their second pos-session, but a holding call on fi rst-and-goal negated a Kime touchdown. Forsyth was then sacked on second-and-goal back at the 25-yard line. For-syth hit Dom Meyer for a 19-yard pass play to make fourth-and-goal man-ageable. Forsyth took the snap, faked a pitch to fullback Jake Kuhens, and scored on the QB-keeper. The 2-pt. conversion was no good. Dunkerton added two more touchdowns to the Blue Devils’ one before halftime. However, again the Raiders converted on their 2-pt. at-tempts while the Blue Devils didn’t. In doing so, WC, in essence, gave the Raiders an extra touchdown. WC found defensive success in the second half. Down, 38-18, Dunker-ton’s quarterback threw an intercep-tion to Collin Kane, who returned the ball to the 1-yard line. Kane read the quarterback’s eyes and jumped the inside-fake out-route perfectly. Forsyth sneaked it in a couple plays later. Once again, the two-point con-version was no good. On Dunkerton’s ensuing posses-sion, the Raiders were stopped on fourth-and-seven. The Blue Devils had seemed to fi gure out the Raiders’ offense. “I felt like we fi nally fi gured out

Stars too much for Blue Devils

what we had to do in the third and fourth quarter,” Milder explained. “We were playing pretty good de-fense.” West Central drove down the fi eld and was inside the Raiders’ 10-yard line when it was stopped on fourth down. Converting that play into a touchdown would have pulled the Blue Devils to within a score and changed the dynamic of the game.

Unfortunately, Dunkerton scored on its next two possessions to put the game out of reach. ”We get down in the red zone and miss a block or something happens, and we don’t get it,” Milder closed. “I was really happy with the heart our kids showed.” Jake Kuhens hit a 20-yard fi eld goal with seven seconds left for the Blue Devils’ fi nal points.

Growing Awareness to Save Lives

In the battle against breast cancer, early

detection is a woman’s most powerful weapon.

In fact, according to the National Cancer

Institute, when breast cancer is detected in an

early, localized stage, the five-year survival

rate is 98 percent. That’s why it is so important

for all women to make breast health awareness

a regular part of their healthcare routine.
