City Council approves purchase of new Sewer Department vehicle SHARON DRAHN HERALD EDITOR

The Postville City Council, met in regular session Monday, November 10, with all members present. During the open forum portion of the meeting, Dr. Michelle Garland expressed distress that the City has not taken any steps to correct the statement they made indicating that she had been arrested. With the mayor indicating that they consider the matter closed, Garland said that this action cannot be tolerated and she would be ﬁling suit. Following a presentation by Fire Chief Jeff Bohr, the Council agreed to sell a small ﬁre siren, which is currently not in use, to city of Clermont for one dollar. In a related matter, Chief Bohr asked the Council to issue a burn permit so the department might burn property located 256 W. Tilden as a training exercise. The

Fifth Annual ‘Find the Pie!’

building, which was approved to be burned, is the former Meltzer residence. Chris Hackman of the Postville Sewer Department presented bids for a new vehicle. It was explained that the vehicle currently used by the department is a 2002 Ford Explorer and that money has been saved for the purchase. The bid of Torkelson Motors was approved for the purchase of a Dodge Ram 1500, with all options except the sprayed bed liner in the amount of $26,452. It was noted that the department has $31,000 in CDs which has been earmarked for vehicle replacement. When asked why he was purchasing a truck in lieu of another SUV, Hackman explained that the SUVs are much more expensive. It was further decided to sell the 2002 vehicle by accepting sealed bids. As part of the Consent Agenda the Council accepted the Clayton County Snowbirds route and the pay request #1 of Bacon Concrete in the amount of $39,906 for the Ogden Street Parking lot and water main improvement project.

HS Drama Dept presents ‘Alibis’ Nov. 22, 23

The Postville High School Drama Department is presenting its fall play, “Alibis” November 22 and 23 in the Fine Arts and Civic Center. “Alibis,” written by Peter Kennedy, is a whodunit, howdunit mystery. When famous actress Primavera Donna throws a party and winds up dead, it’s up to the guests to figure out who and how and why the hired help is son annoying. Shades of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Ten Little Indians are all a part of the plot. As the storm outside rages and body count mounts, the guests must contend with the interruptions, shocking revelations, tacky special effects and the arrival of a mysterious visitor. To find out the final outcome come to the Fine Arts Center either Saturday, November 22 at 7:30 p.m. or Sunday, November 23 at 2:30 p.m. The cost of admission is $5 for adults and students.

Superintendent Abe Maske told the board that our school district was one of three in the state to receive ELL Literacy Grant in the amount of $136,666. Mary Guese and Joy Minikwu, Maske said, were instrumental in writing the grant. The purchase of a new suburban in the amount of $39,386.36 from Birdnow Chevrolet for the 2015 vehicle was approved. Following a motion, the district will proceed forward searching for a winter activity season director. This person, Supt. Maske explained, would be in charge of all winter season activities, both junior high and high school. He/she would also help with game supervision.

Annual Veterans Day Program held at Postville Community School

Members of Postville’s Arthur F. Brandt American Legion Post #518 and students at Postville Community Schools participated in the annual Veterans Day Program last Tuesday, November 11. Pictured, left to right, are high school bugler Drew Reicks; Honor Guard volunteers William Christofferson, Richard Berns, Dennis Koenig, Burnell Koth, Leigh Rekow, and Michael Krambeer; Color Guard volunteers Loren Eberling, Keith Kerr, Terry McNally, and Harlan White; and high school bugler Daniel Koenig.

SHARON DRAHN HERALD EDITOR

The annual Veterans Day Program was held Tuesday morning, November 11 in the Postville High School gym with the high school band opening the program with patriotic music. Grant Imoehl gave a tribute honoring veterans and those who serve followed by the presentation of the colors by the American Legion Post 518. Aliva Berger and Anjela Bubiy explained the meaning of Veterans Day and the band played a “Salute to America’s Finest”. During the playing of the ofﬁcial songs of the branches of the armed services, those who served and their families were asked to stand and be recognized. Ben Lenth introduced the speaker, CW5 Douglas Wyborney of the National Guard from Waterloo. He enlisted in the National Guard in December 1979 and completed training as a helicopter mechanic in 1980, while having served all over the world in times of peace and war. In his address, Wyborney told old and young alike that it is important to recognize the veterans on Veterans Day. These

men and women, he said, are the fabric that our nation is molded upon as they are the ones who have made our freedom possible. He noted that 22,000,000 Americans, who are living, have served and 244,000 Iowans are veterans. Currently, 2.8% of the American population are serving in the armed services. He said, “We have Iowans currently serving in Africa, Afghanistan, and the Middle East. The Wounded Warriors Program is very important and we need to honor the families of those who gave their lives to preserve our freedom. The average age of those serving is between the ages of 22 and 30.” He went on, “We can all, no matter what age, volunteer on behalf of the veterans. We can vote, we can be better community members and we can exercise our rights as Americans. We need to recognize veterans for their courage and honor and for giving Americans a better life.” Following Wyborney’s comments, the high school chorus sang “An American Trilogy” and the student council members shared the history of the American Flag. Patriotic poems were also shared by

Student Council members. Following the Pledge to the Flag, the kindergarten through eighth grade chorus sang, “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.” Following the conclusion of the program, which was given by Bridgette Lubka, Greg Steva,

Ben Lenth, and Anjela Bubiy, the Salute to the Dead was presented by the Color Guard and Taps were played by Daniel Koenig and Drew Reicks. Prior to the program veterans were treated to refreshments in the lobby of the Fine Arts Center.

Quilts of Valor

Several Allamakee County Veterans were honored on Veterans Day as they were presented Quilts of Valor from area quilters. The quilters learned about the Quilt of Valor Program through the Northeast Iowa Quilt Guild. Those who did the quilting decided to honor Viet Nam Vets for their service to our country. One of the quilt group members added, “We really don’t want any publicity for making the quilts. We just want the Veterans to feel the warmth, honor, pride and love they deserve. Pictured here receiving their quilts at the Vet’s Club in Waukon are Carl Christianson, Navy; Bill Campbell, Army; John Curtin, Army; Mike Looney, Army; Ed Blake, Army, and Dave Newton, Marine Corps.

that Gundersen Health Care, the County’s health insurance provider, can no longer include Mayo Health Systems in its provider network. Speaking on behalf of the County Health Insurance Committee, Allamakee County Engineer Brian Ridenour told the Board that while Gundersen Health Care had offered a discount on premiums for the remaining six months of the existing policy term, the announced change would mean that some County employees would be forced to change healthcare providers in order to stay in Gundersen Health Care’s network. Ridenour said that the Committee had requested quotes from a number of other health insurance carriers and that some were unable to do so in the timeframe allowed, while other carriers’ quoted premiums were too high to consider, with the exception of Midwest Group Benefits, which offers a policy from Coventry Health Care. Ridenour explained that the Coventry plan that the Committee recommends is comparable to the County's current policy with Gundersen Health Care, but the Coventry plan does not include vision benefits while the Gundersen plan did; administrative fees for the flex benefit are included with the Coventry plan while the Gundersen plan charged an additional $2,500; and the premium for the Coventry plan is $642.06 per month versus the current premium of $596 for the Gundersen plan. Ridenour said that the Coventry premium would be locked in for 18 months, which would simplify the budget process. He said that the Committee recommends changing insurance carriers

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

For the Herald

I had the opportunity to try these yummy Pumpkin Snickerdoodles at a meeting recently. Sometimes when I try something new, I think to myself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where have these been all of my lifeâ&#x20AC;?. The same goes for the Lasagna Soup. I do believe that is my second favorite new soup, which would be Cheeseburger Soup.

Lasagna Soup â&#x20AC;˘ 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided â&#x20AC;˘ 1 lb. lean ground beef â&#x20AC;˘ 1 large yellow onion, diced (2 cups) â&#x20AC;˘ 3 - 5 garlic cloves, to taste, minced â&#x20AC;˘ 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth â&#x20AC;˘ 1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes â&#x20AC;˘ 1 (14.5 oz.) can crushed tomatoes â&#x20AC;˘ 2-1/2 Tbsp. tomato paste â&#x20AC;˘ 1-3/4 tsp. dried basil â&#x20AC;˘ 3/4 tsp. dried oregano â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 tsp. fennel seeds, crushed â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 tsp. dried thyme â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tsp. granulated sugar â&#x20AC;˘ 1-1/2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish â&#x20AC;˘ Salt and fresh-ground pepper, to taste â&#x20AC;˘ 8 lasagna noodles, broken into bite size pieces (6.5 oz.) â&#x20AC;˘ 1-1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese â&#x20AC;˘ 8 oz. ricotta cheese Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, crumble beef into pot, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring occasionally until browned. Drain majority of fat from beef and set aside (you can drain it all if you want it to be healthier I just like the little bit of flavor a small amount of the fat gives). Heat remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil in pot, add chopped yellow onion and saute until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add in garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Add in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, rosemary, fennel seeds, thyme, sugar, parsley, the cooked ground beef and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring just to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Continued...

Add the pumpkin and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture, stirring until well combined. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon in a small bowl. Remove dough and form into small, 1-inch balls. Roll balls in sugar mixture and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove and let cool on sheet for two minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Meanwhile, prepare lasagna noodles according to directions listed on package, reserving 1 cup pasta water before draining pasta. Add cooked pasta to soup along with 1/2 cup - 1 cup pasta water as desired. In a mixing bowl, using a fork, stir together mozzarella, parmesan and ricotta. Ladle soup into bowls, dollop with a large scoop of the cheese mixture and sprinkle with chopped parsley (you can help the cheese melt better by cooking in the microwave after dolloping over soup for a bit or you could put the soup in oven safe bowl, top with cheese mixture and set under broiler to melt well. Or just stir into very hot soup and it should melt well).

Eligible donors with all types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-733-2767.

Northern Lights to present ‘Spirit of Life’ November 23 at Decorah Lutheran Church

‘Your Ticket to Healthy Aging’

Humane Society of Northeast IA available at Good Samaritan Pet of the Week Society-Postville

RUFUS The pet of the week this week is Rufus who is in dire need of a forever home. Rufus was found dumped at a local park. He was in pretty tough shape when found. He had a couple tumors around the rectum area that caused some bleeding. He had a horrible ear infection, and you could tell he had some arthritis. He was seen by a veterinarian right away and had the tumors removed and was put on antibiotics for the ear infection. He is

also on medication to help with the arthritis. Rufus is doing great now except we believe him to be mostly deaf. He is sweet, calm and his foster home is working on his house training and teaching him some hand signals. Rufus really does deserve a great retirement home. If you would like more info on Rufus, please call 563-382-0500. He is neutered, UTD on shots and been heartworm/lymes tested. His adoption fee is $100.

In small rural communities, transportation can be an expensive, timeconsuming barrier for senior citizens who need medical services. Good Samaritan Society – Postville is responding by implementing a transportation voucher program known as Your Ticket to Healthy Aging. This program will provide free transportation to medical appointments for seniors living in the Postville and Monona zip codes beginning May 1, 2014. The program is supported by a $2,000 Social Accountability grant from the Good Samaritan Society. “The social accountability grant is a perfect way to support our community by providing free transportation to and from medical appointments for people over 65 years old who reside in the Postville and Monona communities,” says Paula Enyart, community relations director. Anyone who meets the criteria and wishes to use the program may pick up a voucher at the Good Samaritan Society –

Postville. A voucher is good for travel to a scheduled medical appointment within a 30-mile radius of Postville. Arrangements will be made for those who need this service but are unable to pick up vouchers at the center. Those eligible may use the service a maximum of three times every 30 days. This will allow more people to benefit from the program. “Small communities have limited availability to local medical services. Many hospitals and clinics in surrounding communities have acknowledged this by having specialists come to their facility periodically to meet with patients who can’t travel more than an hour to obtain these services,” says Paula. “By implementing this program, it is our goal to eliminate this barrier of access to proper healthcare services while promoting healthy aging.” The voucher can be picked up at Good Samaritan Society – Postville (Monday through Friday) or call Paula Enyart (563) 864-7425 and she will deliver to their home.

Inspired by the opening selection, Spirit of Life by Christopher Aspaas, the Northern Lights will perform in concert Sunday, November 23 at Decorah Lutheran Church. The concert will begin at 3 p.m. with a reception for all in attendance immediately following. The women of Northern Lights were invited to consider moments in their lives when they were filled with “the spirit of life”. Through personal reflection and song, they will share some of these moments with the audience. In the second portion of the concert they will present music inspired by women who throughout history have demonstrated the strength of the human spirit to persevere in the face of great adversity. Northern Lights is a women’s chorale with fiftythree members representing ten different communities of northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota. They are under the direction of Jane Kolarich of Decorah and accompanied by Linda Gjerdrum of Mabel, Minn.

Soloists Kephart and Leeper

Guest artists at this concert will be soloists Allison Kephart (left) and Hannah Leeper (right). Graduates of Decorah High School, they are both currently music majors at Luther College and members of the Nordic Choir under the direction of Dr. Allen Hightower. Allison is the daughter of Jim and Ann Kephart. She is a senior, studying voice with Dr. Karen Kanakis. Hannah is the daughter of Jeffrey and Janene Leeper. She is a sophomore, studying voice with Dr. Ed Andereck.

Organ concert to be held November 23 in Clermont Dr. Delbert Disselhorst, retired Professor of Organ at the University of Iowa, has announced the selections for his organ concert on Sunday,

POSTVILLE HERALD

November 23 on the giant Kimball Pipe organ in the Union Sunday School in Clermont. He will honor the November 30, 1896 organ dedication concert in the Union Sunday School by Dr. James Gilchrist, also from the State University of Iowa. Dr. DIsselhorst will play many of the selections chosen one hundred and eighteen years ago by Dr. GIlchrist on the same Kimball organ in the same Union Sunday School. Famous works by Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Gounod that were played on that very first November 30, 1896 concert will be played Sunday by Dr. Disselhorst, as well as a wide variety of other organ pieces by Bach and Karg-Elert. Dr. Disselhorst served as organist and department head from 1970 to2008 at the University of Iowa. Attendees at the November 23 concert will be stepping back into organ history, as the present organ was given to the Union Sunday School by Iowa Governor William Larrabee of Clermont. Not many concert goers in Iowa or other states have the opportunity to come to the same church building (1863), same organ (1896), much of the same music in that first concert (1896), sit with descendants of that first audience at that first concert, sit in the same pews, and then meet and visit with the famous organist Dr. Disselhorst and the think about the spirit and talents of Dr. Gilchrist. The planning committee including Montauk Site Manager Wade Schott, Clermont Historical Society President Arline Davisson, and Steve Story are very proud and pleased to have Dr. Disselhorst accept their invitation for the 2:30pm November 23 free concert, to be followed by a free tea at the Clermont Opera House just one block away. A copy of the 1896 concert program will be given to all concert attendees. This celebration concert is the final concert for the 2014 season.

The Lady Pirate basketball team began practice last week under the leadership of their new head coach, Marcy Kraus. Kraus, who joined the faculty this fall as an elementary teacher, graduated from Valley High School and Wayne State College in Nebraska. She said, “I believe in working with student-athletes on and off the court as they become well-rounded community members and dependable multi-sport athletes.” Returning letter winners on the Pirate team are Amber Schutte and Maya Burke, seniors; Jenna Schutte and Tyra Benson, juniors and Madysen Wahls, sophomore. Other players on the roster are Lakken Cox, Kennedy Maske, Alissa Wenthe, Candice Wenthe, Victoria Nelson and Jade Lansing. She added, “We have several other players who

are already making leaps and bounds of improvements and it is only the first week of practice. So, at this point, everyone is up and coming.” About the changes those attending the games might see, Kraus said, “Since I am a new coach, there might be several changes from previous years. We are working to create a school-wide program for girls basketball and look forward to seeing a growth in involvement. We are

spending a lot of time on fundamentals and growing our team by reaching out to the middle school program.” The girls were slated to play in the MFL MarMac Jamboree Tuesday night beginning at 6 p.m. The regular season will begin the week following Thanksgiving when the girls host a home opener Monday, December 1, against Janesville in a nonconference tilt.

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less than what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off. Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.

(Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) The word "Bible" comes from the Greek word "biblion," meaning book. Since most Christians consider the Bible to be the foundational book on how to live, this derivation seems particularly appropriate. I recently heard a priest who was preparing to hand out Bibles to graduating eighth graders tell them with a wink and a smile that the word "Bible" stands for "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth." There is more than a grain of truth in that catchy acronym. Consider how the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament contains detailed dietary laws and rules about clothes (e.g., Deuteronomy 22:5 tells us that "A woman shall not wear a man's garment" and at 22:11 it says that "You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together.") Many of these rules seem strange to us today because we are so far removed from their ancient context. But, most of the proverbs and rules for how to get along with each other make prudent sense and continue to provide a rational basis for how we should live. The Golden rule is a timeless piece of universal advice. Consider the opening verses of the book of Proverbs, which supplies their rationale, and almost a rationale for the entire bible: "To know wisdom and

instruction, to perceive the words of understanding. To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgement, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel." Proverbs 1:2-5

Lady Pirate Volleyball wraps up season with awards banquet Chad drahn

Herald sports Although the Lady Pirates Volleyball squad had limited success during the recently completed season as they won just four matches, they improved as the season went on and several team members were rewarded with team and conference honors. First and foremost the team was honored for doing well in the classroom as well as on the court. They received the distinguished academic award for having a cumulative grade point average of 3.35. Anjela Bubiy was named to the Upper Iowa Conference first team and Amber Schutte and Madysen Wahls were given honorable mention recognition. Special team honors were as follows: most valuable player, Amber Schutte; offensive player award, Anjela Bubiy; defensive player award, Bridgette Lubka; sportsmanship award, Sarah Schnuelle; setter award, Madysen Wahls; most improved player, Selena Perez and being named to the Decorah tournament all tournament team were Anjela Bubiy and Madysen Wahls. The team began the season under veteran head coach Sam Becker with returning letter winners Amber Schutte, Anjela Bubiy, Bridgette Lubka and Madysen Wahls. Also playing an integral part in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success were Hannah Lage, Jenna Schutte, Tyra Benson, and Linzie Sebastian.

The coach noted that their height worked to their advantage during many of their matches. Opening the season with non-conference foe Waukon, the girls lost in three sets. The coach noted that the girls worked hard but had difficulty communicating on the court. Anjela Bubiy had twelve digs and Amber Schutte had five solo blocks and three assists in the loss. A strong Starmont team was the next home match for the Pirates as they again lost in three. Amber Schutte and Bubiy had the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only kills. Lage had seven assists and Wahls had two. The Pirates got their first win when they hosted MFL MarMac whom they defeated in three sets. The coach said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played amazing in this match. It is great to see the girls play up to their potential.â&#x20AC;? Amber Schutte led the team in kills, Wahls had 19 assists and Lage went 18-18 while serving and also had eight aces. Bubiy had 15 digs and Bubiy had 3 solo blocks. The girls traveled to Clayton Ridge for a tournament midway through September where their only win came against West Central. In this match Lubka had 17 digs and Sebastian had 13 and Bubiy had 10. After losing to Clayton Ridge during the next week in three straight sets, the coach said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were lax in our communication which caused our offense and defense to break down.â&#x20AC;? Working hard to improve, the girls defeated West Central in four sets during their next outing. Becker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We built some good

character tonight. Coming from behind builds character and we did that. It was a total team effort.â&#x20AC;? Bubiy had 18 kills, Wahls had ten assists and Amber Schutte went 21-22 in the serving department. Lubka was the top digger with 26 and Bubiy had 23. She also had four solo blocks. After limited success at the Decorah tournament, the girls picked up their third win of the season over Valley Lutheran in three. The hitters did a terrific job in this match. The back row players were right on the mark with their passes. Bubiy had 16 kills and Lage led the servers by going 27-29 with three aces. Wahls had 13 digs. Amber

Schutte had two solo blocks. The girls lost in three to Ed-Co during parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; night. Jenna Schutte and Jaleasah Hendry were perfect behind the line as they served 8-8. A road trip to Turkey Valley saw the Lady Pirates fall in three. Coach Becker was disappointed as she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not play very well in this match-up. We did not show what we are capable of.â&#x20AC;? Sebastian had seven digs and Wahls added five. Jenna Schutte was five for five serving and had two ace serves. At the Upper Iowa Conference tournament they lost to both of their foes, Turkey Valley and Clayton Ridge. The Turkey Valley match was very close as the

Bubiy and Amber Schutte had ten kills each and Wahls had a dozen assists. Bubiy had three ace serves. Wahls went 8-8 with two aces. Lubka was also flawless going 8-8 and she also led the team in digs with 13. The season would come to an end when they ran into a buzz saw against SumnerFred, a very talented team as they lost in three straight sets. After the season Coach Becker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our girls did well this season. The seniors are really going to be missed and will be hard to replace. We will miss their leadership, work ethic and camaraderie.â&#x20AC;?

When working as a team to create a play production, it is always difficult to select one particular student who makes a difference. So instead of choosing just one, this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pirates of the Week are Anjela Bubiy, Jorge Cardona, Elizabeth Galvan, Joe Gordon, Bridgette Lubka, and Drew Reicks.

From Page 2... to Coventry and an increase in the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution from $596 per month per employee to $642.06 to cover the full premium cost of the Coventry plan. The Board agreed to meet with a representative from Coventry at its next regular meeting, which was scheduled for Tuesday, November 18. In other business, the Board accepted the resignation due to retirement of Secondary Roads employee Kent Kregel following a 32-year career. The Board also canvassed the results of the general election held November 4 and certified the results as reported by Allamakee County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections Denise Beyer.

girls lost by scores of 9-21 and 17-21. Coach Becker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played very well just came up shorts. The games against Clayton Ridge were also close as the girls fell 18-21 and 10-21. Schutte was 12-12 serving and Lubka had five digs. In the first round of the regional tournament the girls defeated MFL MarMac in three sets. Coach Becker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We opened the tournament by playing well. Our back row players had an amazing night. Our hitters read the defense and scored by keeping MFLMarMacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense moving. They came out ready to play which was a great way to begin the tournament.â&#x20AC;?

I have chosen these students to receive the Pirate of the Week because they have worked tremendously hard to learn lines and other play acumen, while also creating a fun atmosphere for all involved. They have come to practice after a long day of school and sports practices to rehearse yet again. So a big thank you goes out to all these students for working hard to create a great show for all to watch. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Betsy Shea
