More conﬁdence, less pain

Dr. Wilke performs a botox injection, one of the services offered at Waukon Dental. (submitted photos)

Botox injections offer more than cosmetic benefits By Jenniffer Bissell A new service offered by Waukon Dental is giving patients more confidence and reduced pain from conditions like Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ). Dr. Jessica Wilke recently completed training to offer Botox injection services at the dental practice. While widely regarded as a treatment to reduce wrinkles, Wilke explained the easy procedure can also help with facial and jaw discomfort. What are Botox injections? Botox is made from botulism, the same toxin that causes a type of food poisoning. While originally discovered in the late 1800s, it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1989 for therapeutic use. According to mayoclinic. org, “Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They’re also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye and other conditions. Botox shots also may help prevent migraines.” The shots block specific signals from the nerves to the muscles, allowing those muscles to relax. They’re used to

ease symptoms, not to cure any problems. Offered in Waukon For Wilke, offering Botox injections came about as a way to treat patients with particular jaw and facial pain. To become certiﬁed to provide the injections at the dental practice, she took several courses, both in-person and online. Waukon Dental began advertising the procedure in late 2022. Wilke explained that it’s a common connection between dentistry and offering Botox injections because of the human anatomy involved. “It’s becoming more of something that dentists offer and are comfortable doing because a lot of it comes from knowing nerves and the anatomy of face, head and neck, and that’s our whole wheelhouse,” she explained. Wilke said that while a common perception of Botox is the “Hollywood frozen face,” she explains to her patients that Botox can be used to create a softer appearance. “It’s a muscle relaxer. It targets speciﬁc muscles. For some people, it might be for cosmetic reasons, like to reduce forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet. Those wrinkles come from muscle movement. You can relax those muscles so the skin over the top doesn’t wrinkle with those movements,” she said.

Another common use of Botox in her practice is to assist patients who suffer from TMJ, which is a condition that causes pain in the jaw joint and in the muscles used to move the jaw. “I have so many patients who complain of pain in the jaw,” she said. “We’re a stressed out society, and people tend to clench and grind their teeth. I didn’t have a great option to offer people, but I can use Botox to target the speciﬁc muscles of the jaw. This can reduce headache pain, jaw pain, wear and tear on the teeth from grinding. It’s a nice solution to the problem.” Wilke explained that the beneﬁts of Botox depend on where it’s targeted, but people can expect a reduction in pain or a smoother facial appearance, depending on where it’s targeted. “It makes them feel good about themselves. It’s a fun, satisfying way to brighten their appearance,” said Wilke. Wilke said a disadvantage is that results typically last three months, so patients will need to return if they want to continue to see results. “One thing I think is people have concerns that they will look totally different or will have a frozen face or an overdone sort of appearance. That’s

Kenny Mikota of rural Calmar can attest to the importance of CPR and AEDs. This past fall, when Mikota experienced cardiac arrest at T’d Up Fitness in Decorah, his daughter Carrie Hovey, who had been working out with her dad, jumped into action — immediately performing CPR, along with Kris Thuente, Mai French and Nicole Mathis, who were also at the facility working out. The women performed CPR until emergency responders arrived. Once on-scene, local and county law enforcement officers and first responders continued CPR and performed defibrillation, during which a dose of electric current is sent directly to the heart. WinnMed personnel ambulance staff also provided advanced life support therapy on the scene. “I’m told there is a 7 percent survival rate if you experience cardiac arrest and are not in a hospital, so I am very fortunate,” said Mikota, adding that he counts himself lucky to have been in the right place at the right time to experience cardiac arrest. “Carrie was trained in CPR and so were the others who helped save me before the ambulance showed up.” “Kenny’s story is a testament to the high level of emergency response in Winneshiek County,” said WinnMed Ambulance Director Steve Vanden Brink. “Everyone’s quick response, paired with advanced skills utilizing CPR and defibrillation, saved Kenny’s life.” See Page 5 in this edition of the Driftless Journal for a special report by Denise Lana on the importance of CPR and AEDs.

‘Monster Bash’ looks to expand feet to our large prop room for the storage of furniture and larger props. The area where we will store walls will increase by 210 square feet, and we will add an additional 1,500 square feet to the back of the building for our haunt. In total, we should be adding about 1,800 additional square feet of haunt space. The addition will be two full stories, which will allow us to better organize our small props, lighting and electrical, flooring and wall coverings.” During the past 12 years, Monster Bash has donated nearly $160,000 to the Fillmore Central (FC) music and arts programs. This past year, Monster Bash donated $25,000 to FC. Since 2017, Monster Bash has consistently been named the top Halloween attraction in the entire state by minnesotahauntedhouses.com.

By Charlie Warner

If all goes as planned, Monster Bash, the award-winning Halloween attraction located in Harmony, Minn., will become even bigger and better in coming years. According to Monster Bash President Jay Masters, the Booster Club for The Arts Committee is looking to raise $200,000 over the next three years for the expansion. “We will be meeting with several groups and individuals through March to secure commitments for the necessary donations,” Masters explained. “It is our hope that businesses, non-profit organizations, family farms and private individuals will make a three-year commitment to our capital campaign ‘The Fillmore Central Army for the Arts.’ “The addition will give us a permanent garage for the hearse in the back of the building,” Masters continued. “By moving the hearse (the parade vehicle used to promote the attraction) to the back of the addition, it will free up about 300 square feet of haunt space in the front of the building. We will also be adding an additional 240 square

The idea Masters came up with the Monster Bash idea a dozen years ago, when he had two kids who participated in the FC music program. He and former FC instrumental director Lane Powell discussed how the cost per student to take part in the music trips ran between $750 and $1,000 — depending on the destination. They realized that this could be a substantial financial burden for some. “A lot of families just couldn’t come up with that kind of money, especially if they had more than one child to pay for,” Masters said. “So, we came up with this idea. Students and their parents earn points for every hour they work. Then, we total up the proceeds for the year and divide it by the number of points. Some students (and their parents) put in enough time to pay for the majority of the cost

(Driftless Multimedia photo by Charlie Warner) of the trip.” Several years later, the FC drama department was added as a Monster Bash recipient. During the first five years, the Monster Bash was held in the gymnasium of the Harmony Community Center (formerly the Harmony Elementary School). And, during those five years, the event grew in popularity. But there were some logistical hurdles that continued to make the event a very challenging endeavor. The enormous configuration of each haunted house presentation in the hallways and gym at the community center required as many as 135 four-by-eightfoot panels of plywood just for the walls. All of the panels and sets had been stored in Preston, Minn., and were loaded up on trucks and trailers, transported

to Harmony and then set up. This also included truckloads of furniture, appliances, wall decorations and other furnishings, utilized for the various rooms of horror at the Monster Bash, which has a new theme every year. That all changed when the old lumberyard building, located just west of Harmony’s downtown and home to Slim’s Woodshed for many years, came up for sale. Monster Bash supporters came up with a plan to purchase the massive building and began retrofitting it into a multi-use facility. A board of directors was created and a 501(c)3 non-profit organization was formed. For more information on the capital campaign and for donation instructions, call Jay Masters at 507-273-3143.

Voice your choice: Local Caucus-goers turn out in droves By Kate Klimesh

The Presidential Republican Caucus held Monday, Jan. 15, in Iowa was the first in the nation to voice preference for a presidential candidate, with many first-time caucus attendees braving the bitter cold to ensure their voice was heard. Each district throughout Iowa held its in-person Republican Caucus starting at 7 p.m. Locally, the caucus was packed to standing room only at the Spillville Library meeting room, with 115 votes cast from the rural district. A quick poll showed many first-time attendees in the room, stating it was a “critical moment” for the country. While waiting for registration, an attendee noted, “It’s getting pretty important to voice your choice and get behind whoever wins this.” Several people spoke for their preferred candidate, with the economy and the open border the top two concerns mentioned in Spillville. Attendees voiced their feelings for any of the candidates running, with presentations given from the crowd for Trump, Haley and DeSantis. It was civil, it was orderly and it was the first step in the electoral process to determine the next presidential candidate to run under the

Registration at the Spillville Library for the Republican Presidential Caucus began at 6 p.m., and entertained a steady stream of people. Many veterans as well as several newcomers attended this year to determine the presidential candidate they wished to see on the ballot. Caucuses across Iowa saw very high attendance compared to previous years. (Driftless Multimedia photos by Kate Klimesh) Republican ballot in November. At the end of the Republican Presidential caucus in Spillville, the votes were tallied at 87 for Donald Trump, 12 for Nikki Haley, 10 for Ron DeSantis and six for Vivek Ramaswamy. This trend followed in many neighboring caucus centers. Winneshiek County totaled 768 votes: 53.9 percent vote for Trump; 19.2 percent voting for Haley; 17.3 percent voting for DeSantis; 7.4 percent voting for

Ramaswamy; and 1.9 percent voting for Asa Hutchinson. Allamakee County saw 528 total caucus attendees voting. Trump saw 66.9 percent of the votes; DeSantis, 15.5 percent; Haley, 10.6 percent; Ramaswamy, 4.5 percent; and Ryan Binkley, 2.5 percent. Clayton County saw 670 Republican caucus-goers. Trump saw 63.8 percent of the votes; DeSantis, 18.6 percent; Haley and Ramaswamy tied with 7.6

percent each; and Binkley, 2.2 percent. Fayette County reported Trump at 56.7 percent, Haley at 17.9 percent, DeSantis at 16.3 percent, Ramaswamy at 7.2 percent and Binkley at 1.5 percent. Across all of Iowa, Trump earned 51 percent of the votes, DeSantis came in second with 21.2 percent, Haley was close behind at third with 19.1 percent. Vivek Ramaswamy Monday night announced he’s dropping out of the 2024 GOP presidential race following a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucuses. Ramaswamy announced in Iowa, “As I’ve said since the beginning, there are two America First candidates in this race. And earlier tonight I called Donald Trump to tell him that I congratulate him on his victory, and now going forward, you will have my full endorsement for the presidency.”

More than 40 percent of Minnesota homes have dangerously high radon levels. That concerns health ofﬁcials, because radon — an odorless, colorless radioactive gas — is the leading cause of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. Together with public health organizations across the country, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the American Cancer Society, A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation and the American Lung Association urge homeowners and renters alike to test their home for radon in January, during National Radon Action Month. “The only way to know if your home has high radon levels is to test, but only about one or two percent of Minnesota homes are tested annually,” said Dr. Brooke Cunningham, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Health. “Another concern is that, although radon occurs throughout the state, there are notable disparities in where the testing and mitigation are taking place.” Interactive maps on the MDH website show that in the Twin Cities metro area, testing and mitigation are less frequent in communities with lower incomes and more renters. Statewide, they are lower in Minnesota’s northern and southwestern regions. Minnesota has unusually-high radon levels due to its unique geology and cold climate. The average radon level in Minnesota is more than three times higher than the U.S. radon level: 4.2 pCi/L (picocuries of radon per liter of air) compared to 1.3 pCi/L. A recent American Lung Association analysis estimated that in 2018, 638 lung cancer

cases in Minnesota were radon-induced (17.8 percent), out of the 3,587 lung cancer cases diagnosed.

Test now MDH expects to send out more than 6,000 kits to health departments and other partners, who will distribute them statewide at low or no cost. Test kits also can be purchased at hardware and home improvement stores or ordered at mn.radon. com. Licensed professionals can conduct testing, too. “Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in never-smokers,” said Nancy Torrison, Executive Director of A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation. “We will continue to educate the public about radon testing and mitigation in hopes that one day, Minnesota’s families and homes are safe from this naturally-occurring deadly gas.” In the winter, home heating systems tend to draw in radon gas from the soil, increasing radon levels inside the home. Many Minnesotans also use basements as living spaces,

which can increase radon exposure. Renters, especially those in ground or garden-level units, should test their homes or ask their landlords to test. Although testing can be done year-round, the best time to test is during the heating season. In homes found to have high radon levels, the ﬁx typically involves installing a ventilating pipe and fan to pull air out from under the home. This reduces the amount of radon entering the home. “I tested my house, and the result was 9, which is above the action level of 4 pCi/L,” said Matt Flory, Associate Director of State Partnerships at the American Cancer Association. “I hired a professional. They installed a radon system, which reduced radon to a low level.” The Minnesota winner was also selected the winner of the National Radon Poster Contest. More information about radon in Minnesota is available on Radon in Homes website or by calling the MDH Indoor Air Unit at 651-201-4601 or 1-800798-9050.

‘Gardening from the Ground Up’ webinar in February University of Minnesota Extension Educators announced the ﬁfth annual “Gardening from the Ground Up” Zoom webinar series. Free virtual workshops will take place Monday-Friday, Feb. 19-23, each afternoon from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The series will focus on maximizing efﬁciency in the home landscape. Webinars will cover topics ranging from optimizing fertilizer, water and space, to reducing stress on the body by using safe body mechanics — all useful for any curious beginner gardener or yard owner.

Feb. 19: Boost your garden harvest: Plant selection and propagation tips Learn how to choose the right plants and seeds with Extension Educators Lia Spaniolo and Robin Trott. Discover techniques for plant propagation, seed saving and utilizing edible plant parts to maximize a garden’s success and yield. Whether growing potatoes, beets, peppers or zucchini, optimize the garden this

season for better results, while saving time and money.

Feb. 20: Don’t overapply, optimize: Tips for selecting and applying fertilizer Applying nutrients incorrectly can hurt the checkbook, the environment and the plants. Compost as fertilizer may seem safe enough, but is it really? Extension Educators Claire LaCanne and Shane Bugeja will review effective nutrient sources and discuss how to ﬁne tune their application – with the goal of promoting productive and happy plants. Feb. 21: Water wisely We all want our gardens to thrive during the growing season, but more water isn’t always the answer. During this session, Extension Educators Katie Drewitz and Tarah Young, will discuss watering methods to improve the overall health and longevity of plants. They will also dive into several water-saving meth-

why I was trained to be very conservative in dosage so for most patients they’re able to attain a very natural but a little softer expression. It’s not a total lack of movement in Dr. Jessica forehead,” Wilke she said. “Overall patients have been very happy, People aren’t going to think, ‘wow you had work done’ but you’ll look and feel more youthful.” Fun for everyone Having been in medical use for several decades, Wilke said Botox has been extensively studied and is safe for most people. She said they don’t treat patients who are pregnant as a “overabundance of caution.” There are also certain patients who wouldn’t be good candidates for the treatment because of having certain nerve-related conditions. “For the bulk of the population, it’s very safe because it’s a targeted, local treatment,” she said. When a patient has their initial consultation, Wilke said she spends time going over what patients can expect and taking photos. She said the treatment itself takes just a few minutes. She encourages patients to avoid touching the treatment area for the remainder of the day and to avoid heavy exercise. They are able to resume normal activity the following day. Overall, Wilke is pleased with the public response, saying it’s been a beneﬁt for the patients as well as for her staff. “I think my staff and I too have had fun with it,” she said. “It’s so fun that our patients are excited about it and leave the ofﬁce feeling good about themselves.” To learn more about the Botox services at Waukon Dental, call 563-568-4528.

This group is always going to give effort no matter what the situation is in the game,” said Coach Steve Hoffert. Throughout the ﬁrst eight minutes the Trojans kept up with the Bulldogs, trailing by three, 18-15. During the second frame, Turkey Valley led by one but the fatigue set in as MFL MarMac led 35-23 at the half. The visitors won the second half as well, outscoring TV 1912 for the win.

With a big field of tough competition, the South Winn boys’ wrestling team competed in the Alburnett dual tournament Saturday, going 3-2 and finishing third in its pool. “We had a busy week competing in 10 duals. I am really happy with the way we are competing right now. Our guys are fighting hard and looking for opportunities to score. We have had some great practices in between the competitions and are looking forward to our last week of regular season competition,” said Coach Jacob Elsbernd.

Groundhog may reveal...bucket or boat? The groundhog may reveal how we play winter’s back nine. Right now, we’re sloshing through a January thaw on the heels of an arctic Snowmaggedon. Will this weather trend continue like it did last year or return like the brutal winter of 1978-79? Today both the boat and bucket full of ice ﬁshing gear are waiting in the pole barn, telepathically whispering “take

especially with a cold-blooded nervous system. Ice fishing may improve between now and Feb. 12, maybe as early as this weekend. The groundhog may get unwarranted credit 10 days from now. Or not. Regardless, personal statistics call for betting all the marbles on Feb. 12. Last year coffee shop conversation revealed more enjoyable times on the ice after mid-February. Personally, I would rather plant my butt on a boat seat instead of a bucket. The bucket was set aside in favor of a happy boat on Feb. 19 with literally hundreds of walleyes, sauger and perch generating a symphony of fins on the plywood decking before the river was free of ice about a month later. Fishing in a January sleet storm is considered “fun” by only the most optimistic fishers. A pessimist has been described as an optimist with experience. A realist lurks some point between these extremes. The weather will stabilize in a day or two. The sun will shine.

Three days later nature’s more reliable forecaster, tundra swans, winged out of here bound for the Chesapeake Bay. Avid fishers had about a week to harvest the bounty of “second ice” between New Year’s Day and the arrival of arctic Snowmageddon on Jan. 12. “First ice” made a nebulous appearance just after Christmas, with the few intrepid souls lightfooting out on limited hard water rewarded with heavy buckets of fat panfish. Second ice was also productive — at least by second ice standards. Fish are cold blooded. With water temperatures hovering around 32 degrees in both frozen and liquid states finny critters have little need or desire to dance with two legged critters pining for a tussle. A rising River with slap fish out of their somnambulistic state. This phenomenon is happening as you read these words. Water temperature will likely rise less than one degree over the next month or so. But runoff will add oxygen—and a little food—to the water column causing just a little stimulation in fish activity. The fishing diary I’ve kept on pool 9 for over 20 years reveals a notable increase in fish activity on or about Feb. 12 every year. Only the Creator knows the reason behind this change in fish behavior. It is what it is. Once River levels stabilize, fishing will improve. A rising river clouds the water column. It takes fish some time to adjust to changes in their environment,

and has something at every price point. T-Bock's Sports Bar and Grill, which celebrates 30 years in 2024, will feature a Teriyaki Rice Bowl. The new Family Table owners Amanda and Corey Sabin are featuring an Iowa Pork Porterhouse and Kansas City Strip Steak. Toppling Goliath, Don Jose Family Mexican Restaurant, The Landing Market and King Pin Entertainment are all serving dishes that are only available this week. Old Armory BBQ is showcasing fried oysters. Twin Springs Supper Club, Rubaiyat Restaurant and La Rana Bistro are all offering up multi-course menus at special prices - a classic approach to the Restaurant Week model. Water Street Deli, Blazing Star and Convergence CiderWorks - Decorah's newest food/drink establishments - are hoping to

inspire folks that have not yet been in to try something new. Inspired by restaurant week events in larger metro areas as well as ones taking place in other Iowa towns, the Chamber coordinated this event to help Decorah area restaurant businesses increase sales during a slow time of year and to further promote the community as a destination for foodies and Midwest travelers. Roumel Reynon, owner and chef at Twin Springs Supper Club, says he is excited to see this event come to Decorah. “I enjoyed being part of Chicago's Restaurant Week and my wife and I have enjoyed experiencing Restaurant Week in New York City. For us, the best thing about the event is a chance to try new things or things that might be outside of the regular weekly budget but are offered

Week showcases what the town has to offer and at Twin Springs we are looking forward to seeing new customers as well as returning customers who might be motivated to try a new dish.” For a full list of participating locations and their specials, visit www.decorahareachamber. com. Everyone supporting local restaurants this week is encouraged to share the experience and lift up the local establishments on their social media platforms. Central Boiler
