HERALD What happened to my paper Redesign catch you off guard?

Jay Meyer Herald Publisher “There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction,” once said Sir Winston Churchill; and I wholeheartedly believe that. I’ve made a lot of changes throughout my life; changes in hairstyles, wardrobe, educational track and occupation; though not always were they in the right direction. Recently the biggest, and most “right” change I’ve made is the decision of entrepreneurship, to purchase and run my hometown newspaper, the Postville Herald. To stave off the confines of being merely a section in someone else’s newspaper, as was the plans set forth by the previous owners, is now my privilege. What this now means is more changes... changes in the look and feel of the newspaper, and the newspaper’s participation in the community. One of the BIGGEST changes you will notice off the bat is the branding decision... the “h” logo that now adorns the Herald’s front page, as well as the newspaper’s layout in whole. Another change, more important but less visible than the logo, was the decision to

return to the newspaper’s roots, the returning to the name Postville Herald. By returning to the Herald, I’ve also chosen to return to the original numbering and publishing sequence established 118 years ago. This newspaper you hold today is Issue One of Volume 118. Flipping through our archives here at the office, I came across a catchphrase that fell out of favor some 40 years ago, but still caught my attention, “A Live Newspaper in a Live Town.” I decided to take that catchphrase and resurrect it, with a few modifications, to reflect my aspirations for the Herald and for Postville; “A Live Newspaper in a Live Community since 1892.” As you thumb through today’s newspaper you may notice small changes here and there, and throughout the coming weeks they may be tweaked as we continue to blend the old with the new, looking for that “right” change Churchill alluded to. Though changes have been made to the Herald in look and feel; Sharon Drahn, long-time Herald-Leader Editor, will remain on staff as the News Editor. We’re still conveniently located at 112 North Lawler in Postville on Iowa Highway 51, right next to Fidelity Bank (formerly Citizens State Bank). Call (563) 864-3333 or fax (563) 864-3400 with your community, family, society, church or sports news, or just to chat. We can also be reached via e-mail at phlnews@neitel.net or phlads@neitel.net. I look forward to hearing from you, the readers of the Postville Herald. Let me know your thoughts and feelings on the new look and how the Herald can help our community.

‘Charlie Brown’ coming to PHS this weekend

The Postville High School Drama Department will present “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (Revised)” this Saturday, November 7, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 8, at 2:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts and Civic Center. The play is based on the comic strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz. For more information contact Betsy Shea at the high school.

Herald News Editor At first glance there are several changes that are evident in today’s paper, not the least of which is the name being changed from the Herald-Leader back to the Postville Herald, a name that originated in the 19th century. There are also many more subtle changes that readers will notice as they peruse today’s paper and those of upcoming weeks. All these changes are being brought about through the ingenuity and creativity of new owner, Jason Meyer. Meyer, 28, who moved to Postville at age 3, with his parents, Laverne and Carol Meyer and his sister, Stephanie, says he has had a loyalty to the community since childhood. When it became evident that the former owners of the Herald-Leader were contemplating closing the local office, Meyer stepped up to the plate and purchased the newspaper from News Publishing Company, Inc. The sale was finalized last Thursday, October 29. A 1999 graduate of Postville High School, Jason said, “Small towns and small town schools are conducive to close relationships. I went to grades K-12 with many of the same kids and many of us still stay in contact with one another.” He went on to say that he developed an intense interest in technology while attending school in Postville, and the knowledge he acquired is very useful in the newspaper industry. Meyer said, “During my high school years many curriculum changes were taking place and there were many opportunities for students to spend more time with the technological equipment.” Following high school, Jason attended Iowa State University and Kirkwood Community College where he was enrolled in the prebusiness and computer programs. A detour, however, found Meyer serving our country in United States Air Force where he trained as an airborne communications and electronics specialist. In this program, he explained, he was trained to operate and maintain the communication and data systems on aircraft during flight. Jason also spent some time in the U. S. Army before being separated for a medical disqualification in 2004. After leaving the service, he began doing some information technology (IT) consulting where he worked in Postville with a few local and area businesses. He said, “I always enjoyed working with technology and computers but I was looking for a more steady income.” Later in 2005 Meyer relocated to North Central Iowa where he went to work for the Northwood Anchor newspaper as a graphic designer. He also did some editorial work and copy setting. He said, “This was my first job in publishing and I found that I really enjoyed the newspaper business. The owners of

Meyer buys Postville’s Herald–Leader

Jason Meyer, who stopped for a moment to pose for area amateur photographer Paula Enyart, recently purchased the 18-year-old Postville Herald-Leader. The HeraldLeader was the consolidation of the 117-year-old Postville Herald and the 1991 startup Postville Leader. the newspaper offered me the option of taking over one of their newspapers but instead I decided I wanted to come back to northeast Iowa.” After filling in at the Herald-Leader for a time, Meyer accepted a job as the Sports Editor at The Standard in Waukon. Following a year-long stint in Waukon,

Jason accepted the position as Managing Editor at The Clayton County Register in Elkader. He said, “I found the challenge of editorship enjoyable, but it was a bit more difficult as I was never very familiar with Elkader. Ultimately, I felt Elkader was not the right fit for me and in July of this year I resigned as

the editor to pursue other interests.” He saw an opportunity to help Postville prosper by keeping the local newspaper a viable part of the community. Having lived in Postville

Postville City Council, School Board meet Special joint session focuses on Postville Child Care The Postville City Council met in special session Monday evening, November 2, at the Fine Arts and Civic Center on the Postville Community School Campus. The purpose of the meeting was to hear an update on the status of Postville Child Care Services and Project NICHES (the renovation at the YMCA). Also present were Postville School Board members Brad Rekow, Jeff Cox and Laura Lubka, and Superintendent of Schools Ottie Maxey. Members and directors of the Childcare Center were also in attendance. Local accountant Christina Drahos spoke to those present concerning the collaboration between the school district, the childcare center and the school. She said that 65% of the childcare facility’s expenses are filtered out through wages. The assessed value of the building which houses the childcare center is $682,900

and the current debt on the building is $288,000. Currently, it was explained, the City has been paying the $15,000 loan payment on the building. To this issue city council member Jeff Reinhardt said, “It is necessary to take in revenue to make the payment. Currently, the City has been using property tax money to pay revenue bonds and that is illegal.” Council member Larry Moore said, “To lose this facility would be a horrible loss to the community. There must be a way to be able to continue to support this entity.” City Clerk Darcy Radloff will look into getting a special dispensation from the state to allow the current payment schedule to continue. Concerning the renovation at the YMCA, it was noted that with the expansion the facility will have increased access to preschool children.

If the state is awarded a preschool grant, there will be funding available for staff salaries and other expenses. The success of all programs, as depicted in a chart presented to the those present by Drahos, is dependent on several groups including: • Postville Chamber of Commerce • Postville Community Schools • City of Postville • Allamakee County • Northeast Iowa YMCA • Postville Childcare Services • Vision Iowa (C.A.T.) • Department of Education At the conclusion of the meeting, Dr. Ken Weston, DVM, a member of the Childcare Board of Directors, asked for a showing of hands of those who supported the efforts of the Center. Nearly all of the approximately 25 people present raised their hands in support.

over half his life, Jason said he felt immediately comfortable with the community. He commented, “I know many people here and I care deeply about the area. I saw an opportunity in Postville that others may not have seen. I still see much potential in our community and want to see it thrive.” He went on to say, “The community was in jeopardy of losing its newspaper and, luckily, News Publishing was open to selling.” There are two things, he explained, that are the cornerstone of any community, namely the school and the

Postville Police K-9 Fundraiser deemed successful Over $3,000 in community support for ‘Kilo’

Saturday, October 24, 2009 the Postville Police Department held 2nd Annual K-9 Fundraiser and Bowling Tournament at Hi-Way Lanes in Postville. According to Police Chief Mike Halse, the fundraiser was a huge success. The bowling tournament, which was made up of four sessions, was flighted and the big winners were Darrel Oltrogge and Mike Irvine, Cathy and Kermit White, Hannah Schutte and Cathy White and Ted Jacobson and Olivia Root. The big hit this year at the fundraiser was the raffle drawing. There were prizes donated from local businesses. Some of the lucky

winners were Ross Malcom, Nora Malcom and Mary Bissell. Also, at the fundraiser were steak and pork sandwiches prepared by Cloy Kuhse, who also donated the meat. “A special thanks to everyone that helped prepare and serve food, the fundraiser could not have happened without you,” noted Chief Halse. “Another very special thank you goes to Hi-Way lanes for helping put on such an excellent fundraiser.” Through the community support the Police Department was able to raise over $3,000 to help finance the K-9 program. In addition to a success-

newspaper. “Postville was on the verge of losing one of those things, the paper, and I didn’t want to see that happen”, he said. Meyer said, “I could not have taken this leap without the community support I have received and I hope I can do the community justice.” When asked about changes he plans for the local newspaper, he said, “The paper will have a strong electronic presence through the internet. Along with the printed

page, which will reach our subscribers each week, there will be a website and social networking system.” Meyer added that he plans to bring back commercial printing to the area. The Herald, he said, will offer business cards, invoices and other paper-based promotional items. First and foremost, however, Meyer’s goal is to continue to bring local news to Postville and the surrounding area. “We will continue to

Witness: Slaughterhouse manager hired illegal immigrants SIOUX FALLS, S.D.  (AP) – Government prosecutors tried to use witness testimony on Tuesday [October 27] to prove a former kosher slaughterhouse manager knew he was employing illegal immigrants at his plant. The testimony was intended to show that the manager, Sholom Rubashkin, lied to a lender bank about his compliance with the law.  Rubashkin faces consecutive trials, the first on 91 financial fraud charges and a second trial on 72 immigration violations. The former Agriprocessors Inc. human resources manager, Elizabeth Billmeyer, said she asked Rubashkin multiple times about employing illegal immigrants. The Postville meatpacking plant was the site of a massive immigration raid in May 2008, when 389 illegal immigrants were arrested. “He said it was his company and he would run it the way he wanted to,” Billmeyer said.

The Postville Fire Department extends thanks all the surrounding Fire Departments who assisted the Postville Fire Department at the bakery ﬁre in downtown Postville. Your help was greatly appreciated. A big thank you also goes to the Postville Ambulance crew for staging a rehab site. The Postville Fire Department also thanks all those who contributed food and beverages to the ﬁre crews. It felt like a Thanksgiving feast! Thank you Castalia, Ossian, Frankville, Clermont, Elgin, Luana, Monona and Waukon; Thank you Lansing for the air trailer; and Thank you Prairie du Chien, Oelwein and Decorah for the aerials.

Billmeyer said she noticed irregularities with employees’ Social Security numbers in 2005 but was ignored until 2007, when she said the company placed employees with allegedly false identification on a separate payroll without her knowledge.

Earlier Tuesday, prosecutors pressed livestock sellers to acknowledge that Agriprocessors was often late with payments as they tried to prove the plant broke an 88-year-old agricultural law that mandates purchasers make timely payments to

livestock sellers. Records from the Wisconsin-based Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association show Agriprocessors often mailed a check several days after buying cattle.

Rubashkin attorneys seek mistrial after testimony on illegal immigrants SIOUX FALLS, S.D.  (AP) – Attorneys for a former manager of a kosher meatpacking plant in Iowa are calling for a mistrial after a government witness testified about illegal immigrants working at the plant. Defense attorney Guy Cook filed the motion

Wednesday, saying the information about the alleged hiring of illegal immigrants at the Agriprocessors plant in Postville will seriously damage the defense against bank fraud charges facing former manager Sholom Rubashkin. Cook objected to the details being allowed because U.S. District Court Judge

Linda Reade had separated the bank fraud charges and immigration charges. Rubashkin is on trial in U.S. District Court in Sioux Falls, S.D., on 91 fraud charges. He will face a separate trial later on 72 immigration charges.

by Sarah Brainard Marsh The beginning of November signifies all that is dreadful and exciting about the holiday season. Friends, family, memories, traditions and delicious food to look forward to, but stress, lack of time, and weight gain are worrisome. Recent research has shown that the average American does gain weight during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it isn’t quite what you think. And changing your thinking might be just what it takes to avoid weight gain as the year comes to an end and in the years to come. During the five weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, most Americans estimate they will gain 5 to 10 pounds. Although huge meals, stress, and lack of

physical activity do occur, most adults gain only about 1 pound. This may seem like a minimal and manageable amount, however the pound you gained last holiday season is probably still with you. And each and every pound from the holidays before that, leading to a population of overweight, inactive adults. Focusing on keeping your current weight the same, rather than losing weight or not gaining weight, will create healthy behaviors and could strongly help prevent obesity and the diseases that come with it including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. A pound saved by keeping weight stable during the maddash holiday season may lead to several pounds saved and healthy habits adopted in the upcoming years. It may not have struck you as a possibility, or even an exciting achievement if you are trying to lose weight, but avoiding that one pound could prevent the next 10 from creeping on over the next decade. As plans begin to unfold for Thanksgiving celebrations with family, begin to plan just how you

More from Postville’s Pale Past as compiled by Postville’s local historian Stanley Schroeder; more on L. A. “Late” Huffman compiled by Stan Schroeder Late Huffman wrote in a letter that Sitting Bull was not in the Custer fight at all. So says Gall and Rain-InThe-Face to me, not long ago . Sitting Bull watched it from a bluff some distance off and at its close he rushed down and took three or four scalps and rode away and painted himself a hero. Gall, Two Moons and Rain-In-TheFace were the actual leaders and they are regarded as very brave warriors. Sitting Bull was merely a medicine man and had the reputation of being a coward. In the year 1882 this story appeared in the Postville REVIEW under the heading Huffman and Rain-InThe-Face Young Huffman accompanied Gen. Miles party that negotiated the actual surrender with Spotted Eagle and Rain-In-TheFace, these were the. first of Sitting Bull’s force in Canada to come in and surrender. Spotted Eagle was a wild, fierce chief, tall and rather slender, and very graceful. He was about 45 years old. The other was by far the best known warrior, Rain-In-

The-Face, was a handsome. chief who hobbled on crutches, lamed permanently by wounds received in the battle of the Little Big Horn. Several years earlier, Rain-In-The-Face boasted he had killed two white men, and while drawing rations at the Standing Rock Agency about a year later Custer had his brother Tom arrest him and bring him to Fort Abraham Lincoln. When questioned, Rain-In-TheFace admitted the killings and gave the details. Custer had him confined to the guardhouse and chained to a civilian prisoner, but some of his friends cut a hole in the wall one night and the next morning the room was empty. Rain-In-The-Face went into the camp of Sitting Bull and sent back a message that he would revenge himself for his imprisonment. Immediately after the battle of the Little Big Horn, the story became current that Rain-In-The-Face had revenged himself by cutting out Tom Custer’s heart and eating it. This story was soon amended to include the heart of General George Ouster. An officer who helped identify both bodies on the

battlefield wrote later that General Custer had been shot in the left temple and left breast, that there were no powder marks or mutilation. Of Tom Custer, he noted that his belly had been cut open and his entrails protruded. Huffman went to almost any lengths to photograph many prominent Cheyenne and Sioux who had surrendered and this story is told of one such incident which happened in the year 1880. General Miles kept the Indians in anew camp, and posted guards to keep whites away. These regulations posed a problem to Huffman, but he soon made the acquaintance of a young Irishman who drove a delivery wagon. This individual was not only on good terms with the sergeant of the guard, but had struck up an acquaintance with Rain-In-.The-Face, the Indian, whose photograph was most desired. Late and the Irishman had no trouble getting into the came and Rain-In-The-Face, although surly and unfriendly toward he soldiers, soon made up with the two and fell in with the plan Huffman proposed. They hid the Indian in the back of the delivery wag-

on and drove back to Hufffman’s studio at the post. Here Huffman kept the warrior for three hours or more while he photographed him in different poses and in full regalia. After he had taken pictures to his heart’s content, late and the Irishman smuggled the Indian back into camp in the same manner as they had taken him out. Just before Rain-In-TheFace was returned, the adjutant happened to visit the camp and observed that the Sioux were greatly excited. Investigating he discovered that they were worried about the absence of their chief, and many feared that he had been removed by the soldiers to be killed or sent away. Huffman related that he did not have long to wait before an orderly came and told him he was wanted at headquarters. When he went in the adjutant merely motioned over his shoulder with his thumb toward General Miles office. Miles did not look up as Huffman came in and it was obvious that he was “hot under the collar.” “Young man,” he said, “If you ever take another prisoner out of camp without permission from the adjutant or myself, you will

find yourself in very serious trouble.” Huffman obeyed. --Huffman stated in the early 1900’s that -- “One of greatest tragedies of history is that the Indian and the white man -- had to meet. No 2 races could have understood each other less.” “Say what you will of the cruelty and savagery and the bloody deeds of butchery and of his present sorry look and sad estate, and even at the risk of having hurled at me the old-timers most withering taunt -- “Indian lover” -I say that it is my belief -- such attitudes could be modified or changed only -- with the coming of new generations. Late Huffman always believed that it was the Indian Chief, Rain-In-The-Face that killed both Tom and General Custer.

Being aware of your stress and anxiety triggers is a key point in avoiding a holiday breakdown

In preparation for the Holy Walk

Postvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first annual Holy Walk is approaching quickly. The event, reenacting Mary and Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey to Bethlehem will be held December 13 at the Lullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Walking Trail from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Committee chair Susan Griffin said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been planning for this event for one and a half years, and the time is near.â&#x20AC;? She added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still need votive candles, tea lights and tapered candles will not work as they might become a hazard, and people who are willing to help with set-up and tear-down.â&#x20AC;? Pictured above a group of women who got together Sunday to work on costumes. They are (left to right) Linda Hughes, Julie Heitland and Dona Peck. Not pictured are Susan Turner, who hosted the event at her home, Cici Mueller, and Marilyn Armentrout. Anyone willing to donate items or help in any way, is encouraged to call Susan Griffin at 563-864-6001.

Now is the time to make change on Medicare Part D; call your SHIIP volunteer if you need assistance evaluating drug plans We are entering the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fifth seasonâ&#x20AC;? of the year: The open enrollment period for Medicare Part D. During this six-week period all who are enrolled in a drug plan have the opportunity to make a change from Nov. 15 through Dec. 31. Anyone who did not enroll in a drug plan during an earlier open enrollment period, may do so now. 2010 will be the fifth year for Part D. No doubt many people are still in the same plan in which they enrolled the first year. That plan is working well so there seems to be no reason to consider changing, but buying a drug plan requires a person to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop aroundâ&#x20AC;? and make comparisons, both for coverage and cost. Drug plans can make a variety of changes that effect the total annual cost,

and while increasing the premium is the most visible, it is not necessarily the most expensive change. Other changes which can effect the cost include the amount of the deductible and the copays for each prescription. Prescriptions are tiered from 1 to 4, with the most generics in Tier 1 and higher costing generics and lower costing brand names in Tier 2. Tier 3 is for more expensive brands and Tier 4 for the very expensive ones. Drug plans may set a definite co-pay for a tier, e.g. $4 for Tier 1, $20 for Tier 2 and so on. Or the co-pay may be percent of the cost of the med, with each tier having a progressively higher percent. The cost of the med can also vary from company to company. Insurance companies also change their formularies.

A medicine covered one year may not be covered the next. As many of you know, formulary changes may also be made throughout the year which is why it is so important that you read the monthly Explanation of Benefits letter you receive. If one of your meds is dropped, you have time to talk to your doctor to perhaps change meds or request the company make an exception in your case. It might be wise to look for a new plan during the open enrollment period. People receiving assistance to pay for their medicine are not exempt from making sure their plans are still the best for them. Medicaid will pay for

Those who get Low Income Subsidy through Social Security pay for any meds not covered by their plans. Anyone receiving either form of assistance may change plans monthly and should not stay in a plan if one can be found that will cover all meds.SHIIP (Senior Health Insurance Information Program) will provide assistance for you to evaluate drug plans.

As soon as the days start getting darker and department stores start displaying Christmas merchandise, holiday stress and anxiety are close to follow.Â There are several reasons for these emotions.Â The lack of sunlight makes the days seem shorter just when holiday tasks start to increase, such as baking, cleaning, decorating and entertaining.Â Shopping for gifts becomes stressful as one is made more aware of finances.Â Anticipation of being with family members where there is tension or without a family member who is loved also builds on this stress.Â Those with eating disorders or weight problems dread the upcoming public meals. Tidings of comfort and joy are hard to find. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being aware of your stress and anxiety triggers is a key part of avoiding a breakdownâ&#x20AC;? says Shannon Durbin, director of Creative Soul, an organization which combines art therapy techniques with spiritual healing.Â Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to be prepared because once you enter into a stressful situation it is hard to pause and regain composure.â&#x20AC;? Here are some tips to handle upcoming situations: 1. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force yourself to be happy during the holidays.Â Assuming holidays are always suppose to be full of joy and emotions need to be too is a misconception.Â Putting away all other emotions to celebrate often leads to holidays that feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;fake.â&#x20AC;?Â It is ok to take time to express your feelings and cry.Â Talk with people who care and can support you before actual holiday celebrations take place.Â 2. Accept change.Â Families grow and traditions change.Â Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the need to hold on to every small detail

of what use to make holidays great.Â As situations change hold on to a few things that bring you joy, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to let go of others. 3. Give yourself some room to breath.Â Even if you are hosting the event or are at someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like you must always be present.Â Give yourself a 10-15 breather alone, free from distractions.Â Do some walking meditation after a meal or sitting meditation in the bathroom.Â 4. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to say no.Â Many people plan too much during the holiday season and if you are known to help out, you could be hit up for more than you can handle.Â Chose only a couple of things you like to do the most and say no to the rest.Â Saying yes can not only make you feel overwhelmed,

but also resentful. 5. Try creative therapy techniques.Â Crafts, creative movement (tai chi, dance), making music and writing can all help by allowing yourself time to reflect on your own feelings and well being and can be used as forms of meditation and prayer. Creative Soul sessions meet you where you are at and help you to find your voice without getting lost in the holiday hub bub.Â Sessions are inexpensive and available locally in Elkader, McGregor, and West Union.Â Call Shannon at 563-920-7681 to set up an appointment.Â Â Â Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dread the holiday season.Â Taking the time to address your own needs before the season comes upon us may leave you having a better holiday than you ever have had before.

Do Good Work and Serve the Lord It is fairly common, and almost a cliché, to note that the Protestant work ethic fueled capitalism, giving capitalism such guiding virtues as hard work, frugality and efficiency. While honest labor and thriftiness may still be virtues held in high regard, it is tempting to feel that capitalism has somehow lost its soul. Instead of producing high-minded, hardworking Christians who value work, it has produced dispirited automatons who dread work and mindlessly consume whatever the market has to offer. Even Adam Smith, capitalism’s first and foremost theorist, warned in “The Wealth of Nations” that specialized labor would tend to make work boring and alienate labor from its product. So, is there a way to keep work from being so stultifying? Of course, it depends somewhat on the work in question, but any labor that is interesting is redemptive, whether it is figuring out what is wrong with someone’s car that won’t start, planting a garden, or cleaning house. Another way to redeem work is to do it in a craftsmanlike way. There is something inherently pleasurable in doing something well, especially if there is some product to behold or savor at the end of our work. Consider how God Himself beheld His handiwork on the seventh day, and declared that it was good. So, perhaps we should figure out a way to take genuine interest in our work and devote ourselves to doing it well, however humble it may be. Do good work; God is watching. So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should enjoy his work, for that is his lot... R.S.V. Ecclesiastes 3:22

Rev. Robert Fleischmann to speak in Waukon on current life issues; sponsored by King of Grace

home, and 55 chapters/branches throughout the United States, as well as international branches in Canada, Ukraine, and Sofia, Bulgaria. Christian Life Resources also helps people to understand and make Scripturally-guided decisions in medical matters, particularly as they apply to end-of-life concerns. The Bible is central in this ministry which seeks to save lives both for now and eternity through education on such critical issues of abortion, infanticide, suicide and euthanasia. The organization is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), but it serves people of all faiths. King of Grace Lutheran Church is pleased to welcome Pastor Fleischmann to Waukon. His presentation will take place Sunday, November 15, at 2:00 p.m. in the Farmers and Merchants Savings Bank Community Room. All are invited to attend this event.

The Reverend Robert Fleischmann, National Director of Christian Life Resources, will be coming to Waukon this month to speak on current life issues. Regarding the topic, the Christian Life Resources’ website states, “Our society is overwhelmed with simplistic slogans about complex life issues. People talk of ‘death with dignity’ and ‘my body, my choice’ and yet rarely think through the consequences. In his presentation Pastor Fleischmann will dissect the challenging life and family issues of our time. He will reflect upon them with clarity using Scripture, history and anecdotes of real people who faced hard questions related to issues about life, death, children, marriage and family.” The primary mission of Pastor Fleischmann’s organization is to educate on life and family issues. Its ministry consists of 22 pregnancy counseling centers, 1 maternity

Supervisors pass first reading of amended Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations by Bob Beach During the regular meeting of the Allamakee County Board of Supervisors Monday, November 2, County Attorney Mary Jane White presented her annual report to the Board. White reported that of the 114 felony cases handled by her office over the past 13 months, 92% of the defendants have been held responsible in the cases that have been resolved, 30 cases are still pending, six cases were dismissed and one case is on appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court. She added that 11 persons have been placed in state prisons and that three cases where the charges included possession of a firearm by a felon have been referred to the U.S. Attorney for federal prosecution following state

prosecution. White also pointed out that 15 persons have been placed at the residential facility in West Union and that the facility is currently full. She called the facility â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best rehabilitation opportunity locallyâ&#x20AC;? and urged the Board to lobby to keep the facility open despite recent budget cuts at the state level. White also reported that from January to October of this year, 48 children have been involved in juvenile court proceedings in Allamakee County. Thirtyone children have been involved in Child in Need of Assistance proceedings and 12 of those childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cases were prompted by methamphetamine use by their parents. In addition, 12 children have been charged in 25 cases of child delinquency (three of those children being high multiple offenders) and two cases of child delinquency have been reverse-waived into juvenile

court from adult court. White also reported that two Family in Need of Assistance cases have been filed either by a parent or a child. The Board also discussed possible solutions to an error in the Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office in which Ag Land and Family Farm tax credits were miscalculated, resulting in some taxpayers being overcharged while others were undercharged. Originally, the Board had voted to apply credits to those who were overcharged and forgive any taxes that were underpaid as a result of the error. The Board later learned that it is a simple misdemeanor to carry forward an overcharge on taxes and that it is also not legal to forgive taxes using funds paid by other taxpayers. According to a legal opinion by State Attorney General Tom Miller, the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only choice is to send refunds and revised tax statements. The Board

instructed County Treasurer Lori Hesse to work with the Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office to work out the specifics of a legal solution. The Board also approved the first official reading of the amended Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. As there was no public comment at the first reading, the Board is likely to waive the third reading and pass the amended ordinance following the second reading, which is scheduled for next Monday, November 9 at 10 a.m. The amended ordinance would then go into effect following its publication. In other business, the Board signed a proclamation declaring the week of November 15-21 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Northeast Iowa Tobacco Awareness Week.â&#x20AC;? The Board also approved an interim assistance agreement for the CPC office and accepted and placed on file a manure management plan annual update from Johanningmeier Dairy.

Lady Pirate Volleyball advances over Elkader to Regional Semifinal Playoff attempts ran asunder against Janesville Wildcats, 3-0, at Oelwein sailed backward and out for Postville’s first victory of the night, 25-23, setting the series at 1-to-1.

BOOSH!

Pirate senior Sara Schutte drilled a few into the Janesville court Firday night, October 30 at Oelwein. Schutte led the night for Postville in Kills, Blocks, Aces and Solo Blocks with 11, 20, 1 and 1.

The Postville Lady Pirate Volleyball team hit the court again this past week both at home and away. Starting out the week, the girls hosted the Central– Elkader Warriors in the 2009 Class 1A Regional Quarterfinal in Postville, Tuesday night, October 27. Game one of the night the Warriors pulled ahead about midway through the game and continued a slight lead over the Pirates to claim the first victory. Postville, however, rallied back in games two through four to take the match, 3-1. Continuing their trek down the Playoff Bracket, the Lady Pirates found themselves in Oelwein Friday night, October 30, squaring up against the Janesville Wildcats. Postville put up a strong fight against the Wildcats in game one, keeping close tabs on the score, but ultimately the Wildcats took victory. Games two and three fared worse for the Pirates as Janesville continued to seek out Postville’s weak points and exploit them, thanks in part to a strong junior, Wildcat #15, Olivia Fisher. Janesville bested the Lady Pirates, 3-0, taking the match and a place in the Regional Final.

vs. Central...

The Friday night, October 27, match up of the hometown Lady Pirates and the visiting Central-Elkader Warriors began quite ominous for Postville. Having handily defeated the Lansing Kee High Hawks the Wednesday prior, 3-0, the Lady Pirates fell to the Warriors, 25-17. Postville scored first on the night, but were quickly answered by the apt Warriors. Keeping the margin tight, the score soon stood at 11-11. Shortly, though, Central pulled ahead when miscues and stray hits by the Lady Pirates resulted in added points to the Warrior’s score. From thereon in game one, Central commanded the lead and took the win, 25-17, over Postville.

The Central Warriors started out game two with the first score, and throughout much of the first third of the game, held the lead. As the Pirates tidied up the margin, the Warriors’ own shortcomings shown through with miscommunication between many of the players. The score stood tied, 1010, heading into the middle third of the game, when Postville pulled out a three-point rally with a spike, an unreturned hit, and Central putting the ball into the net on a serve return.

Those points would not go unanswered, and soon Central was again in the lead. But as the ball volleys, so did the Pirates lead return, followed by a Central lead, et cetera... So it went until the teams were again tied, 23-23, with the game going either way. Fortunately for the Pirates their 23rd point was off of a three-point rally, allowing them to serve again. An unanswered serve by Postville junior Kristine Schissel brought the Pirates within one point of victory. Schissel’s next serve soared across the court, was hit a single time by Central, and

To show their defiance in the face of their recent defeat, the Warriors hit the court hot in game three, scoring three before Postville was even on the board. As with the previous games the score remained tight, tying up here and there, until a scoring run, with senior Pirate Libero Megan Brincks at the serving line, brought the score to 12-4, Postville lead. Along the way, a visibly flustered Central team aided in Postville’s lead, along with good Lady Pirate blocks at the net, and a strong showing by senior Sara Schutte. Small bouts of scoring from Central kept them in the game, but to no avail, as the Pirates continued three- and four-point scoring runs between. Before too long, the Pirates had a commanding nine-point lead over Elkader

at game-point, 24-15. But, a long serve by Schutte allowed the Warriors to again send volleys on the offense into Postville territory. Central scored a single earned point before the Pirates again stepped up to serve, taking the game on a Warrior return that went too far, 25-17. The game three win brought the Pirates’ match wins to two to the Warrior’s one.

game, 25-19, over the Warriors to take the series, 3-1, and advanced to the Regional Semifinal at Oelwein against the Janesville Wildcats.

Game four the Lady Pirates hit the ball hot out of the gate, pulling to an early lead, but were soon answered back by a determined Central squad, and the score hovered within a single-point spread until the game tied up 9 to 9. A successful block and subsequent point brought the ball back to the Pirate serving line, where Brincks served up nine-point scoring rally, aided at the net by Schutte and the talented Lady Pirate volleyers, that Central never recovered from. The Pirates closed out the

back,” noted Lady Pirate Volleyball Coach Sam Becker. “Our girls had a good hitting and scoring night.” On the night, senior Sara Schutte led with 26 kills and 52 attacks. Schutte came in 13-for-14 from the serving line with a single ace, as well as a single solo block and three block assists. Seniors Chrstina Converse and Megan Brincks went 100% from the serving line, 14-for-14 and 25-for-25, respectively. Bricks also had three ace serves and 27 digs. Junior Whitney Deering, also 100% from the line, was 15-for-15 with three aces. Fellow junior DayLee Mosteart came in with two aces, and junior Kristine Schissel contributed another.

at Oelwein versus Janesville...

Fakeout!

Postville junior Kristine Schissel (13) send one across to the Janesville Wildcats Friday night, October 30 at Oelwein in the Regional Semiﬁnal match up, while senior Sara Schutte (16) also goes up to distract the Wildcats. Schissel ended the night with two kills.

The brisk, gloomy weather Friday night, October 30, didn’t dampen the girls’ spirits any as they took the court visibly motivated to take on the Janesville Wildcats. Game one shown to be closely matched as the scoring bounced back and forth between the Pirates and the Wildcats. Strong communication on the court between the Lady Pirates led to many good, long volleys; but, equally good communication by the opponent also led to a few points being scored on the Pirates by the Wildcats’ de facto star hitter, junior Olivia Fisher. Fisher always seemed to ﬁnd, and exploit, the single weak spot on the Pirate court. As the game progressed, the hometown girls appeared to understand Fishers movements and gestures, and a few

times the Lady Pirates were able to thwart her scoring attempts, keeping Postville in the game. Postville eventually lost the game by a mere six points, 25-19. Games two and three fared worse for the Lady Pirates as a determined and aggressive Wildcat team took the second 25 to 14; and the third by 25 to 8.

ville,” noted Coach Becker. “The girls played hard but just could not slow down Janesville’s big hitter.” “The girls had a GREAT season and I’m very proud of all they accomplished this year,” extolled the coach in closing.

Senior Christina Converse led with 12 assists, while fellow senior Megan Brincks was 100% from the serving line with 8-for-8, and ﬁnished out just behind junior DayLee Mosteart’s match-high 16 digs, with 15. Mosteart was also 100% serving with 5-for-5. Juniors Kristine Schissel and Whitney Deering also ﬁnished the night perfect from the serving line with 7-for-7 and 6-for-6, respectively.

For the night, senior Sara Schutte again led in kills with 11 and attacks with 20. Schutte went 8-for-9 from the serving line with Postville’s only ace and only solo block.
