DYLAN SCOTT
Dylan Scott is a relative newcomer to the country music scene, himself, but has the drive and desire to be on stage ingrained in his blood. His father played guitar and sang harmony in the 1970s and 1980s with country artists Freddy Fender and Freddy Hart.With early in uence by Merle Haggard and George Strait, and claiming the late Keith Whitley as his musical role model, Scott got an early start on keyboard and acoustic guitar before hitting the stage during his high school years with the southern gospel trio 11th Hour. His recent debut album, self-titled Dylan Scott, features such songs as Makin This Boy Go Crazy, Hurtin In the Morning and Mmm, Mmm, Mmm.

Called home to continue their service: Msgr. C
letus Hawes and
Rev. Donald Hawes returning to their native Al
lamakee County
Donald.The oldest of six childre
n,
Cletus was born March
28, 1927 to John and Ellen
(Conway) Hawes at their family home in Gods H
oly
Wexford Valley, as it has
been described by Trappist
monks. He was baptized
the same day at Immaculate
Conception Church, Wexford.
Donald was born December
22, 1928. In addition to being
baptized at Immaculate
Conception, Wexford, he
noted he later received
the Sacraments of First
Communion, Reconciliation
and Con rmation there as
well. It was there he offered
his First Solemn Mass, the
day after he was ordained in
1953.
THEIR YOUTHBoth brothers recounte
d
being raised in a religious
family, where the family
prayed the Rosary together
at home every day. Its a
good practice, commented
Donald.When asked wh
at
in uences converged to
guide them toward becoming
priests, Cletus said both
their family members and
Wexfords Father Daniel
OSullivan had made an
impression. He came from
the old sod, said Donald,
referring to the Fathers Irish
roots.We lived rather close
to
the church and we looked up

A pair of Allamakee
County holy men are coming
home. Wexford natives
Monsignor Cletus Hawes and
Reverend Donald Hawes will
assume the responsibilities as
sacramental priests for several
of the countys churches later
this month. The brothers, who wi
ll
move into the St. Patrick
Church rectory in Waukon,
will say weekend and daily
masses at St. Patrick's in
Waukon as well as weekend
masses at St. Marys in
Hanover and Dorchester.We look at coming
to
Waukon as an opportunity for
service of the Lord as priests
in Word and Sacrament, said
to him. He set an example by
being himself, he added.The men said the
ir
education began at home and
continued in the Wexford
one-room country school,
Waukon's Tiffany Riehm and "Pony" win pair of
World Championships
every weekend, she said.
Riehm added that while
she worked hard on her own,
she never hesitated to ask oth-
ers for help with her showing.
To be the best, I think you
have to learn from the best,
she said.She recounted a sayin
g
that she said has guided her
along the way: Practice is
important, but you have to
practice correctly. If you go
out and practice it wrong ev-
ery day, its still going to be
wrong no matter how many
times you do it.
GETTING READYThis spring, Riehm decid
-
ed she would take Pony, also
known as "Tys Cool Angel,"
to the World show in Oklaho-
ma.Starting at the beginnin
g
of March, Riehm began that
preparation slowly with a
small workout routine, about
15 minutes a day to get the
horse in shape and about 15
minutes of working on show-
manship, which includes
practicing things like setting
her feet up, practicing pivots
(turning with her right hind foot planted while execu
ting
a turn), backing straight lines, and walking and trottin
g in
sync with each other.
by Lissa Blake
Some say practice makes
perfect.For Waukons Tiffan
y
Riehm and her Paint mare,
Pony, that practice paid off
in mid-June when the duo
earned two world champi-
onships at the Pinto World
Championship Horse Show
in Tulsa, OK. Riehm won
both her halter class (where the horse is judged on its conformation) and her show-manship class (where judges evaluate how the exhi
bitor
handles the horse).Riehm, a 2009 gradua
te
of Waukon High School, has
been riding horses since she
was about three years old.
She started showing Ponys
mom when she was about
10 years old and advanced to
national competition by the
time she was about 16.Riehm said from a youn
g
age, she knew that surround-
ing herself with the right
team, which included top
trainers, was important.When I was in hig
h
school, I moved my horse to
a trainer and would go there
on weekends and get lessons
with my horses. I was either
at the trainers getting lessons
or at a horse show just about
In the halter classes, hors-
es are evaluated on confor-
mation, including balance,
structural correctness, breed
and sex characteristics and
degree of muscling.Riehm said in tting
Pony for the World show, she
knew she had to be careful
not to overwork her so she
wouldn't lose weight, but
needed to work on building
good muscle so she could be
at a good weight for the com-
petition. In addition to ad-
hering to a strict six-days-a-
week workout schedule, she
also worked closely with a
Purina representative to make
sure her horse was receiving
the proper nutrition.I wanted to make sure he
r
system was in balance and
she felt the best she possibly
could, she said.
A SCARY SETBACKAlthough Riehm did a
ll
she could to prepare Pony,
her show aspirations were
threatened when Pony start-
ed to exhibit symptoms of
Lyme disease in late spring.
In horses, Lyme disease can
result in lameness, arthri-
tis, neurological problems,
moon blindness and dermati-
tis. Luckily, Riehm knew her
horse well enough to know
something was off.After diagnosis, Dr. Ro
d
Smed of Waukon Veterinary
Clinic came to Riehms barn
every day for a week to ad-
minister I.V. antibiotic treat-
ments. I have to say a big
thank you to Waukon Vet
Clinic. They were awesome
to work with, said Riehm.
Although this setback
could have ended Riehms
World Show prospects, she
and Pony didnt let it end
there. As the show got
closer, I pushed her during
her workouts just a little bit harder, and we were pra
ctic-
ing our showmanship twice a
day, she said.Riehm explained th
e
showmanship class judges the skills of the exhibito
r in
showing his/her horse. Each

Supervisors approve permit for ATV ride, dis
cuss
management arrangement for Upper Iowa Riv
er
by Bob Beach
During its regular meet-
ing Monday, June 29, the
Allamakee County Board of
Supervisors approved a per-
mit application from Harpers
Ferry Boosters, Inc. to host
an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride that will include the
use
of both private land and sec-
tions of Allamakee County
roads.Dennis Blocker of the A
l-
lamakee Off-Road Associa-
tion said that the $500 permit
fee that the Harpers Ferry
Boosters agreed to pay seems
like a lot of money for a one-
day ride and encouraged the
Board to move towards al-
lowing ATV use on all Coun-
ty roads. Chairman Larry
Schellhammer responded
that the $500 permit fee only
covers the Countys cost
for additional insurance for
the ride, adding that no one
wants to expose the County
to additional liability by mak-
ing ATV use legal on County
roads but the problem is that
the machines themselves are
labeled by their manufactur-
ers as for off-road use only.
Blocker presented the
Board with an ordinance ad-
opted by Buchanan County
which allows ATV use on
County roads, saying that
with the passage of the ordi-
nance, theyre off the hook
with regard to liability issues.
He added that he wishes the
State would pass a law to al-
low ATVs on public roads and
that by not doing so, the State
is missing out on millions of
dollars in tourist revenues
currently being enjoyed by Minnesota and Wiscon
sin,
where ATV use is allowed on
public roads.Winneshiek County S
u-
pervisor John Beard, who
was in attendance for an-
other agenda item, told the
Board that while Winneshiek
County had given permission
for an ATV ride to utilize its
County roads, after receiving
input from law enforcement,
public safety of cials and
recommendations from ATV
manufacturers, the Board will
not be permitting any future
rides.Chairman Schellhamm
er
said that while the Board is
leaning towards allowing
ATV use on County roads,
the Sheriff, County Attorney
and County Engineer are
all leaning away from it,
adding that We have more
work to do before we can go
countywide.Winneshiek County Supe
r-
visor Beard later addressed
the Board about forming a
Water Management Authori-
ty for the Upper Iowa River.
He said that based on weather
patterns over the last sever-
al years, northeast Iowa can
expect to be dealing with
ooding more frequently.
He suggested that Allama-
kee, Winneshiek and Howard
Hawes brothers returning to Allamakee Coun
ty to serve ...

The
where one teacher taught
eight grades of more than
30 children. Their religious
education at home was
supplemented by parish
catechism classes and
summer vacation school
taught by Presentation Sisters
from Waukon.The men remember a
n
old-fashioned upbringing,
highlighted by a lack of
electricity, milking cows by
hand, using horses for eld
work, haying with a dump
rake and pitching the hay,
and neighborhood gatherings
for tasks like threshing and
corn shredding.They also recount
ed
Sunday afternoon baseball
games between the families
at the rural parishes. Each
church had a different team.
The county was full of farms
with big families, said
Donald, noting some of the
people he and his brother will
be serving are some of the
same people they played ball
with.When Cletus was just
eight and Donald was seven,
their father died suddenly,
leaving their mother a widow
with six children to care for.
Our mother kept the family
together and was a good farm
manager and worker. She
was always concerned with
our education and religious
practice, remembered
Cletus.
FOLLOWING A PATHFollowing graduation fro
m
Immaculate Conception High
School in Lansing (Cletus in 1944, Donald in 19
45), both boys headed to L
oras
College in Dubuque to major
in philosophy. Cletus said it
was around seventh or eighth
grade that he decided he
would become a priest. For
Donald, that decision didnt
come until he was midway
through college.After each broth
er
graduated from Loras
College, they went on to St.
Mary Seminary in Baltimore,
MD. Father Cletus Hawes
was ordained April 26, 1952
at Christ the King Chapel at
Loras College. Father Donald
Hawes was ordained just ayear later, May 16, 1953
, in
the same chapel at Loras.
THEIR SERVICEFollowing his ordinatio
n,
Rev. Cletus Hawes was
assigned to St. Marys
Church, Dubuque, 1952;
St. Joseph Church, Elkader,
1952-1957; St. Columbkilles
Church, Dubuque, 1957-
1962; St. Marys Church,
Cascade, 1962-1967; St.
Bridgets Church, Postville,
1967-1972; Visitation
Church, Stacyville, 1972-
1976; St. Josephs Church
in Bellevue, 1976-1987; St.
Nicholas Church, Evansdale,
1987-1999; St. Francis
Desales Church, Ossian,
and Our Lady of Seven
Dolars Church, Festina,
1999-present.Twenty-four years ag
o,
Cletus was appointed a
Monsignor, which he said is
an honorary title. I remember
receiving a letter in June that
I had been appointed by the
Pope to be a monsignor in
April, he said.
