Building deterioration
Portions of a building located in downtown Monona crashed to the
ground early last week. A huge piece of the building, which is located
on the Corner of Center Street and Main Street and houses the Thisn-That Resale Store, fell to the ground after going through a front
window. Residential apartments are in the upper level of the building.
Longtime Monona residents will remember the building as the Monona
Dry Goods Store. Andra Meana Photo

Over 200 graduating Seniors
from Postville, Kee High, MFL/
MarMac and Waukon schools
attended “Reality 101” at the
Waukon High School on Wednesday,
April 6. Over 80 individuals and
businesses volunteered their time to
create a real life financial scenario
for all of these students preparing for
graduation.
Each student chose a career and
researched monthly income based
on average northeast Iowa wages in
the classroom setting prior to the
activity. On the day of Reality 101,
the students were provided with a
life scenario which may include a
spouse, children and possibly even
child support situations including
the information they provided on
their chosen career and college
plans. The students were then
required to visit each of the 30
stations to open a bank account, pay
their taxes, purchase an automobile
and insurance, pay for daycare,
groceries, household supplies, vet
expenses, health and life insurance,
etc. They were also visited by a
roaming officer who issued many
tickets for traffic violations, and a
roaming nurse who had to charge
full price for medical services to
any students who had not elected
to purchase health insurance. In
addition, they were also dealt
fate cards that caused them even
additional out of pocket expenses
due to fictitious scenarios such
as broken water pipes or vehicle
repair—all things that can and do
unexpectedly happen in real life.
The students had to balance their
checkbooks and prove they had a
positive balance in order to exit
the event. Those with a negative
balance had to visit the “SOS”
table and brainstorm ways to get
themselves out of debt.
"The thing that was resounding
with me is that the Reality 101
Veteran volunteers are who have
created such a smooth flow for
the day,” states Cheryl Livingston.
“Those volunteers that return
every year, most working the same
table, take ownership of that and
make it great. Everyone functions
well independently and makes the
program exceptional for all the
students involved.”
Many of the businesses helping
with the event go to the work of
providing real-life costs of their
products and services ahead of time
so these students can “purchase”
items at today’s prices, relevant
to other purchases students made
through the day. For example, utility
prices were specific to the Housing
selections available, making the
event as realistic as possible.
Participating businesses and
organizations this year included
the following: R.W. Pladsen,

Monona City Council discusses street
vacation request in recent meeting
The Monona, Iowa, City Council
met in regular session April 4. Jerry
and Debra Neuhaus submitted a
letter of inquiry asking if the city
would consider vacating a portion
of Center Street west of the Monroe
Street intersection. It was explained
that a portion of West Center Street
borders the north boundary of the
Neuhaus property although the
street Right-of-Way (ROW) is not
paved. It is currently planted to
grass and has a line of evergreen
trees on the north side of the ROW.
Mr. Neuhaus indicated he would
like to install solar panels so that
existing 40’ trees on south side of
their property could be left intact to
allow for optimal sun light angle to
solar array.
Council members mentioned the
city is currently in the process of
conducting a planning and growth
study that includes the northwest
portion of Monona. Vacating the street
ROW now might not be consistent
with future development plans.
A copy of Ordinance Chapter
137 ~ Vacation and Disposal of
Streets that describes street vacation
protocol was provided to all parties.
Also distributed were copies of
three previous ordinances dated
1997, 2002 and 2006, whereby
the council approved street
vacations in other parts of Monona.
Administrator Canton noted that
the street vacation request would
need to go before the Planning and
Zoning Commission prior to the
city council taking final action on
the matter.
Chief Dave Smith distributed
and reviewed monthly MFD report
for March 2016.

stated he would coordinate with city

A memorandum was previously
received from attorney Amy Bjork
of Whitney & Dorsey regarding
renewal options for Monona
Urban Revitalization Property
Tax Abatement Program that
expired March 3, 2016. The memo
stated that Iowa Code restricts tax
Monona in 1916, 1966 and 1991
abatements for Residential Property
as follows: “All qualified real estate
assessed as residential property is
eligible to receive an exemption
from taxation on the first $75,000
of actual value added by the
improvements for a period of five
years.”
At the March 7th council
meeting it was decided to proceed
with the tax abatement program
per Iowa Code for residential
property only and no longer offer
an abatement for Commercial,
Industrial or Multi-Residential
properties.
At the last council meeting it
was proposed that stop signs be
placed at junction of South Page
and Dull Street in an effort to slow
vehicle traffic and improve safety.
The council voted to install two
new stop signs on Page Street and
replace existing yield sign on Dull
with a stop sign.
Administrator Canton provided
revised revenue and expense
estimates, debt service amounts and
cash flow numbers related to a State
Revolving Fund loan application
for financing Phase II Sanitary
Sewer Improvements. The total loan
request was proposed at $1,650,000
including engineering fees,
construction costs, legal work and
contingencies. It was also confirmed
that the city would receive $434,000
in CDBG Grant Funding for the
project.
It was moved by Elledge,
seconded by Blietz, to authorize
SRF Clean Water Loan Application
and approve Pro-Forma document
as prepared by consultant Larry
Burger of Speer Financial. The
motion carried unanimously.
Price quotes were received
from Gee Asphalt Systems and
Kluesner Construction for proposed
maintenance work involving crack
cleaning and sealing of designated
streets. After review of numbers, it
was agreed to allow the city council
street committee to make final
decision on crack sealing quantities
and as well as application of GSB
Sealer Binder.

Dealing with the criminal element
CROZlER’S COMMENTS
By Dr. Dale Crozier
The spring sports and activities
seasons are beginning and we
wish everyone the best of luck.
Congratulations to the winter sports
and winter activities programs for
another successful year and for
all of your hard work. This winter
we won many things, and we also
lost a few things. The greater
good in all of this is the product of
participation and being involved
in a team or group that is working
together.
I am glad that we are able to
offer a variety of academic, athletic
and fine arts programs and activities
at MFL MarMac. A famous
American educator and philosopher,
John Dewey, believed that school
should be a microcosm of the
greater society. By that, a school
should have some of the same
variety and experiences as real-life
and be somewhat of a mini-society
within itself. This idea led to such
concepts as physical education, field
trips, hands-on science and inquirybased education. That same process
actually paved the way to many
of the programs that American
schools have today that are both
curricular and extra-curricular. One
way to look at schools would be to
visualize a triangle. The bottom of
the triangle would be academics
and instruction. The two sides
would be fine arts and athletics. The
academic base is by far the most
important part; however, the other
two sides give it wholeness. There
are some students who go through
school that are very academic, do
very well and do not participate in
sports or fine arts; however, these
students are few. On the other hand,
there are many students who stay in
school because of either athletics or
fine arts, or both. The vast majority
of students enjoy a balance between
academics and some activities of
their choice, and this has been a
positive strategy for us.
It’s my hope that we can
continue to offer our programs
to students for all of the above
reasons and even financial reasons
that complement this. In today’s
dollars, one child will generate over
$80,000.00 in the thirteen years
that they are in school. If just a few
students either move here or don’t
leave here because of something
in our programs, academics or
offerings, that can make a large
difference to the long-term
outcome. For this reason, things like
starting a trap-shooting program,
having day cares, and having
adequate space for athletics, fine
arts, and academics can make a big
difference in the end. Costs to build
and maintain our facilities are large,
but not nearly as large as running
out of kids. Also, we have been
able to utilize the sales tax revenue
to build most of our projects. The
exceptions to this would be the first
music addition that utilized the
sales tax in addition to a large grant;
and the first day care which was
a joint effort between the city and
the school with the city obtaining
a sizable block grant. Although
the financial aspect is a secondary
purpose to the service education
provides, it’s always something we
must consider. At the end of the day
our school is here for our children
and that must always be our top
priority.
Ruff Report
I thought I would touch on
several items in my newsletter this
week. First, we do have a water
quality bill before us, and it could
be debated as soon as next
week on the House floor. The plan
before us would use Rebuild Iowa
Infrastructure Fund dollars which
are derived from gaming revenues,
existing water quality dollars and
programs, as well as the sales tax
that is placed on municipality and
rural water (non-well). The funding
would ramp up over the next couple
of years with a potential of totaling
$746,090,000 by 2029.
This is somewhat of a complex
plan with several moving parts.
The goal is to get more cost share
dollars for edge-of-field and
in-field practices, water quality
measurements, improved drinking
water for Iowans, and support
research to continue improvement
for years to come. Currently, Iowa
spends about $20 million annually
to improve water quality. However,
it falls short of the estimated $5
billion needed, which was identified
by the Iowa Nutrient Reduction
Strategy.
Throughout session we have
different groups and organizations
that visit and have their “day on the
Hill”. A lot of times they bring hand
outs and brochures which touch on
THE
statistics for each specific district. I
thought I would share some of that
data with all of you.
We were shared data on
homelessness in Iowa. In my
district, Clayton and Allamakee
have about 15 people that are
homeless. It was shocking to learn
every single county in Iowa has
from 10 to almost 2000 homeless.
I spoke with Iowa Vocational
Rehabilitation Services. They
help individuals with disabilities
from high school to college and
employment. 6067 individuals were
referred for services, in which 5747
were eligible for services at IVRS.
2321 VR Iowans with disabilities
obtained employment with an
average wage of $11.72. I know
this program and they are a great
resource to have for your child.
NICC gave us a hand out that
listed great facts about the work
force in Iowa and the district.
35.5% Iowans have an associate’s
degree while 25% of Iowans
have a bachelor’s degree. Three
out of 5 jobs in Iowa will require
education/training beyond high
school by 2018. Our community
college system works well with
sector partnerships to help train
and educate the work force they
are looking for. With sector
partnerships across our state we
30x
DECK
have 420 employers engaged. With
the overhaul of the secondary career
and technical education system,
this will only help with the success
of training and educating those
coming out of high school.
We have reached the point in
time of session when we start
having “retirement” speeches
from those who have chosen not
to seek re-election. This year is
particularly is hard as I have many
friends that are not coming back for
one reason or another. You become
like a family when you are at the
Patti Ruff
Capitol. You have those big sisters
that you look up to, friends to have
dinner and talk the night away with,
brothers that razz you and give you
a hard time, but know that they have
your back when you need it. Your
service is greatly appreciated and
your friendship treasured.
As always I am here to serve
you. Please feel free to contact me
with any comments or questions at
[email protected].
Until next week!

The urban crime culture is
bleeding into our rural paradise,
evidenced by the tagging that went
on last summer around Hampton.
When I was young in Southern
California, tagging, which is spray
painted graffiti referring to gangs,
was rare. It was cleaned up soon
after it was discovered. It wasn’t
long, however, until no one could
keep up and the painted slogans
were accepted as part of the
landscape.
After awhile the culture
degrades enough and the vandalism
brings such small consequences that
we will accept it too. In Hampton
the cost to clean up the paint only
on the public property was stated
as $15,000. The perpetrators were
fined $650, which was “suspended.”
I wonder if that means dangled in
front of the faces of complacent
taxpayers.
Granted, getting $15,000 out
of three teenagers would probably
be like the proverbial blood
out of a turnip. But a property
crime presents opportunity for
a demonstration of law based on
restitution and accountability
as opposed to law based on
punishment for a violation of
our management by a faceless
government. A crime perpetrated
against an individual puts the
perpetrator in the position where he
can relate to the victim as someone
like himself.
Our system of law is failing
because the whole idea of
“victim” has been erased by the
fallacious belief that a society can
be regulated to perfection by an
elite class with unique abilities. A
simple system of law that draws a
line at violation of property rights
and nothing more would be more
effective.
Nixon’s EPA is a perfect example
of where property crime with an
actual victim has been replaced
by a regulatory state. Mindless
obedience to the EPA has wrought
untold damage to the people
of the world. In 1972 William
Ruckelshaus, the first administrator
of the EPA, banned DDT in spite of
several hundred documents and 150
scientists that brought his examiner
to conclude the insecticide should
not be banned. There was no victim
to the “crime” of DDT. But there are
victims of EPA aggression on the
214 million people who needlessly
contracted malaria in 2015 alone.
Of those, 438,000 people died.
Well intentioned philanthropists,
Bill and Melinda Gates spend
$200 million per year on malaria
eradication while the tool to do it is
readily available in DDT. Research
has shown that there were many
other causes responsible for the soft
egg shells blamed on DDT. Every
evil that DDT was blamed for has
been debunked. The Gates’ should
redirect their research to include
solving problems caused by politics.
Throughout the sixties,
Milwaukee and three other
Wisconsin cities substantially
polluted Lake Michigan, the source
of Chicago’s drinking water. The
state of Illinois sued Milwaukee
but passage of the Clean Water
Act in 1972 negated Wisconsin’s
responsibility to restrict its impact
on Chicago by ordaining the EPA
as sole regulator of water. The
Supreme Court upheld the EPA.
Chicagoans were certainly victims
of these Wisconsin cities but the
regulatory state prevented justice.
If every regulatory agency were
abolished and property rights were
fervently protected from trespassers,
vandals, and thieves we might stand
a chance against people like the city
fathers in Wisconsin and the taggers
and gangs in our neighborhood.
If these kids had to wear orange
jumpsuits while they scrubbed
sidewalks and signs until they were
restored, the next violators would
either go elsewhere or realize
that the victims were people like
themselves and treat them as they
wished to be treated.
Consistent with the nonsentences these kids received,
William Ruckelshaus was awarded
the Presidential Medal of Freedom
by Barack Obama in November of
2015. It is a world gone crazy. In the
sixties, World Health Organization
authorities believed there was no
alternative to the overpopulation
problem but to assure that up to
40 percent of the children in poor
nations die of malaria. Always
question authority.

Q: How do lentils compare
nutritionally to dried beans like
kidney beans, black beans and
chickpeas?
A: Like all pulses (a term that
includes dried beans, dried peas
and lentils) lentils are a great source
of fiber. Just a half-cup of cooked
lentils provides nearly as much fiber
as two cups of cooked oatmeal,
and much of it is the type of fiber
that helps lower blood cholesterol.
Iron and the B vitamin folate that
is so important for maintaining
healthy DNA are high in all pulses.
As do other pulses, lentils provide
both protein and health-protective
phytochemicals like flavonoids.
Lentils’ easy preparation requires
no soaking like other dried beans,
so you can go from pantry to table
in about 20 minutes. Pulses are
similar in nutrition, but you can
enjoy exploring the many types for
a variety of flavors.

Cook brown lentils until tender
but not mushy, holding salt and
any acid ingredients (such as
lemon or tomatoes) until the end
to avoid toughening the lentils and
increasing cooking time. Brown
lentils are part of renowned dishes
all around the world. They can
serve as a meat replacement or
extender in your favorite stew, soup,
chili, or rice- or vegetable-based
mixed entrée. The little red lentils
and yellow lentils dissolve into
sort of a purée, so they’re great
for thickening soups and stews,
or mashed as in some Indian dal
recipes. You may also see French
lentils, which are smaller than
more common types, but these take
longer to cook. French lentils retain
their shape and firmness and add a
peppery flavor, making them a great
choice for salads. Whatever your
choice, enjoy lentils as a quick and
easy way to work more legumes
into your eating habits.

It is the right of the patient
to choose the medical care they
wish in any situation, even when
the patient is too sick or hurt to
tell their family members or their
physician. The way to ensure
the correct healthcare wishes
are carried out is to complete an
Advanced Directive. Advanced
Directives include: Durable Power
of Attorney for Healthcare and/or a
Living will.
1. In order to have an Advanced
Directive the patient will need
to discuss their wishes with
their family and physician.
An Advance Directive should
be done by discussing your
wishes with your family and
physician and then complete

Healthcare form.

Buck Creek County Park to host
Earth Day Saunter April 22nd
According to the New Tree
School, “A saunter is a way of
walking in wild places that creates
space within ourselves as nature
opens before us. It is not for science
or exercise, walking dogs or
entertaining children. It is for the
nourishment of body and soul.”
Spend the afternoon on Friday,
April 22nd nourishing your body
and soul at Buck Creek County
Park, with lessons from Emerson,
Thoreau, and Muir.
A proper saunter serves as the
perfect celebration of Earth Day.
Wholly distinct from hiking or
walking, a saunter has no physical
goal or destination. The aim is
merely inspiration, and a connection
with nature itself. We will wander
aimlessly through the undeveloped
forest, so sturdy boots, pants,
and sleeves are recommended.
Participants may also want to bring
a journal and camera, though they
are not required.
Buck Creek County Park
is located 3 miles northeast of
Garnavillo, IA.Take Highway 52 to
232nd street, and travel down the
3. The patient can fill out a
living will—this should
be in writing. It explains
the patient’s wishes about
withholding or withdrawing
medical treatments should
they suffer a terminal illness
or are sustained on life
support. Living wills may
state specific measures that
the patient wishes or does not
wish to have taken to prolong
their life when they are clearly
dying. Living Wills are legal
documents and are required
to be signed just like a regular
will, but it does go into
effect before death. It is then
important to explain to the
family and those close to them
the wishes the patient has
chosen. It is also important
to talk with their physician
to make sure the plan is clear
and will be supported by the
health care workers.
4. Advance Directives can be
changed at any time, as long
as the patient is capable of
making decisions. Advance
Directives should be placed in
the patient’s medical record.
It is also a good idea for the
patient to have a wallet card
available indicating their
wishes.
Informational packets for filling
out Advance Medical Directives
are available at the main entrance
of Veterans Memorial Hospital.

Application deadline is May 13.
on the outskirts of Elkader, he made
sure he would have space for future
expansion. By 1990 he had just built
about every type of armored model
kit that was on the market.
“Then there was an explosion
in armor kits,” he recalled. “New
companies were offering a variety
of variants of the original model
types, and I was back in business.”
Many of the newer kits had as
many as 600-1,200 pieces. Each
piece has to be put in place by a
steady hand – something that Zichal
certainly has.
“It certainly doesn’t hurt to
have a steady hand, patience
and attention to detail,” he said.
“That goes for both modelers and
physicians. One kit can take up to
40 to 80 hours to build.”
The Zichal’s have traveled
extensively in western and eastern
Europe while on vacation through
the years. That has given Ken a
chance to further pursue his hobby.
“The first thing I do is look for
a tank or armored museum while
we are planning a trip,” he said.
“When we get to our destination
I will say something like “By the
way, there’s a museum in this town’.
Fran is really a trooper. When I enter
a museum, the museum personnel
can tell that I am really serious about
these things. Most of the time one of
the museum’s people will take pity
on my wife and show her to a lounge
area and offer her some coffee or
a snack while I am off snapping
pictures of just about everything in
the building.”
Dr. Zichal was instrumental in
getting Elkader its own tank. As
the US Army was now using the
new M1 tank, there were many of
the older M 60 A1s that had been
mothballed. Local communities
could apply for one the AmVets, and
that was precisely what Zichal did.
He had discussed moving the tank,
if it was approved, with John Patrick
Moyna, who owns a construction and
earth moving company in Elkader.
“We didn’t hear back from the
Army for several months,” Ken
said. “In 1990 Fran and I were on
vacation in Egypt. One day John
got a call from the Pizza Ranch in
Manchester. The man said that a
truck had just dropped off a tank
and that it was sitting in the parking
lot. He also said that the driver told
him to contact Moyna to come and
get it.”
“John and one of his employees
who had driven tanks in the army
hooked up a heavy equipment trailer
and drove down to get it. Getting
a 56 ton tank onto the trailer was
easier than either of them expected.
The driver suggested trying the
engine, and to their amazement the
thing started right up, so the driver
could just drive it onto the trailer.
The tank, minus the engine, now
sits at the entrance of the Elkader
City Park.”
Zichal isn’t finished with his
models yet. He has about three
hundred more kits stacked around
his “tank museum”, waiting to be
built. He plans to build about 30 a
year now that he is retired.
“Being in such a small town, this
was the perfect hobby to have after
I was done working or was on call,”
he said. “It’s a hobby you can pick
up and put down whenever you want
to. You can work on something
for five minutes or five hours. It’s
a very good relaxation technique,
especially if you were having a
hectic day.”
The Tank Doctor
After practicing medicine for
almost 40 years at the Central
Community Hospital in Elkader,
Dr. Ken Zichal has finally hung
up his stethoscope. His retirement
will give him more time to pursue
another passion besides medicine –
building model tanks.
There are currently more than
1,100 tanks, trucks and personnel
carriers and artillery pieces in
Zichal’s collection. Each one was
meticulously put together, painted
and put on display in one of
several glass display cases in Ken’s
basement.
“My wife Fran has the main
floor and upstairs of the house,” he
said with a smile, but the downstairs
is all mine.”
His collection runs the gambit
from World War I all the way to
the newest designs that are used by
today’s military. It represents armor
used by all the major powers during
that time period.
”I have loved building models
since childhood,” he said. “I started
out with tanks, airplanes and boats.
After college, I got out of it, but
after a couple of years I decided to
get back into models. Fran and I just
had a small apartment, and tanks took
up less space. Besides, I was always
fascinated with military history.”
Zichal’s collection continued to
grow, and when he built a new home

April is National Safe Digging
Month, and as weather in Iowa
continues to become more ideal
for outdoor projects, Black
Hills Energy is emphasizing the
company’s top priority – safety – by
providing important guidelines for
safe digging.
In Iowa, Call Before You Dig
by contacting Iowa One-Call at
811 or schedule online at www.
iowaonecall.com. Then wait 48
hours (excluding Saturday, Sunday
and legal holidays) before any
digging begins. It’s free, it’s safe
and it’s the law. Failure to call
before digging could result in
penalties.
“Public safety and the well-being
of work crews and our employees
is always our principle focus at all
times,” said Wes Ashton, director of
operations for Black Hills Energy
in Iowa. “Whether your project is
big or small, safe digging is critical
to avoid hitting a utility line that
could result in an outage to your
neighborhood or an injury.”
1. Most important, whether
you’re a homeowner planting
a shrub or a contractor using a
backhoe, always “Call Before
You Dig.” Utility specialists will
mark the approximate location
of buried utility lines at your site
with color-coded paint or flags – at
no charge to you. This uniform
temporary marking guide provides
understanding of underground
facilities to prevent accidents,
damage or service interruption by
workers. Yellow, for example, marks
gas lines.
2. Spray-paint a white line
around your planned excavation
site. “White-lining” helps the line
locator understand your plans and
reduces the chance for project
delays, should the line locator need
to return to mark additional areas.
3. Always hand-dig near gas
facilities. Whether using a shovel or
heavy equipment, use care around
natural gas facilities. Just a nick on
a pipeline over time can create a
weak spot that could develop into a
leak.
4. Project delays? If you don’t dig
within ten days of having the lines
marked, contact Iowa One-Call
again. At no charge, line locators
will return to re-mark the lines.
“Underground utility lines may
be out of sight, but they should
never be out of mind,” Ashton said.
“Please do the right thing always
Call Before You Dig.”
Corps of Engineers habitat construction
project begins, caution urged near site
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, St. Paul District, is
asking all Mississippi River boating
and fishing enthusiasts to exercise
caution in and around Mississippi
River Pool 9 this summer.
The Corps of Engineers’
contractor, Newt Marine Service,
from Dubuque, Iowa, began the
second year of a three year island
restoration project by Harpers
Slough, near Lynxville, Wisconsin,
April 5. The construction activities
will be ongoing throughout the
summer and include 24-hour
operations.
Activities will include using
heavy construction equipment
and dredging to move material to
various locations within the pool
for island development. Extreme
caution should be used while
navigating near the construction
site.
The project is a part of the
Upper Mississippi River Restoration
Program, an environmental
restoration program devoted
to restoring habitat along the
Mississippi River. Established in
1986, the Corps of Engineers has
restored more than 45,000 acres,
or 62 square miles, of river and
floodplain habitat within the St.
Paul District.
The Corps of Engineers asks

April is National Occupational Therapy Month. Occupational
therapists work in outpatient clinics to assist people in recovery
from work related injuries so that he/she is able to return to their job
requirements and reduce further risk of re-injuring the body. Pictured
above is occupational therapy patient Larry Lamborn of Luana receiving
hand therapy from occupational therapist Tami Gebel, O.T.
Tami Gebel
Occupational Therapist
April is National Occupational
Therapy Month. Occupational
therapists work in outpatient clinics
to assist people in recovery from
work related injuries. Many times
careless mistakes lead to injuries,
other times injuries occur due to
an obscure accident. When an
injury occurs, it often leads to pain,
inability to complete all activities
(even non-work related activities),
time off from work or change in
work duties. Employers do not like
work related injuries because they
cause a loss in wages, production,
and manpower.
The best cure for a work related
injury is complete rest from the
activity that caused the injury.
Unfortunately many times this is
not possible because people need
the financial income that their
job provides. For this reason,
occupational and physical therapists
work with the injured person to
overcome and recover from the
injury so that he/she is able to return
to their job requirements and reduce
further risk of re-injuring the body.
Here are some simple techniques
to remember while at work to
prevent injuries.
1) Use both hands during tasks,
or alternate hand usage.
2) Avoid prolonged sitting or
standing positions; change positions,
move and stretch.
3) Avoid prolonged pinching
between the thumb and tips of
fingers, especially if a lot of force
is used.
4) Avoid repetitive movements
with the hands and arms, such as
turning your hand palm up and
down.
5) Avoid constant reaching
above your head.
6) When lifting heavy objects,
lift using your legs and knees
instead of bending at the waist.
7) Push heavy and large objects
instead of pull.
8) When sitting at a computer
desk, make sure feet are flat on the
floor and the computer screen is eye
level.
9) Do not twist at your waist,
move your feet when turning
around.
10) Make sure you exercise
outside of work; you may feel as
though you had a workout while
at work, but you need to maintain
strength in your whole body.
If you have any questions or
want more information, please
contact the occupational therapists
at Veterans Memorial Hospital at
(563) 568-3411.
