Wallet lost at State Basketball Tournament over 40 years ago returned to former prep star’s mother SHARON DRAHN NEWS EDITOR

Gail Langholz

The memory of Gail Langholz, who was the Iowa State Free Throw Champion from Monona in 1969 and finished second in 1970, has come back to life thanks to the diligent effort of reporter Cynthia Fodor of KCCI Channel 8 in Des Moines.

After a trip to visit former Monona resident Hanna

Langholz, who now resides in Decorah, the story was brought to life. Gail, the third child of Rev. Robert and Hanna Langholz, was a stand-out basketball player on the MFL team. As a sophomore in 1969 she traveled to Des Moines where she connected on 37 of 37 shots from the charity stripe to win the state title.

As a junior, Gail returned to the Veterans Memorial Auditorium for a second year after once again winning the sectional and district titles. After making 34 of 36 free throws, she was the State Runner-Up. Langholz was also the second leading scorer on an MFL team that finished the season 18-3 and she received All-State Honorable Mention honors. Yet, there is much more to this story.

While in Des Moines for the State Basketball Tournament and the free throw competition in 1970, Langholz’s wallet was either lost or stolen. Long before cell phones or instant access machines, Gail called her parents in Monona to inform them she had no money and she didn’t know what to do. After a quick

consultation with the bus driver, however, her parents arranged for her to borrow money until they arrived back in Monona.

Knowing the wallet was probably gone forever, it was necessary for Gail to reapply for her social security card and school activity ticket. After a few weeks, her mother said, the wallet incident was pretty much forgotten.

Gail, a 1971 graduate of MFL High School, finished her basketball career averaging 70 points per game her senior year and was the team high scorer with 879 points scored. She was also the team’s second leading rebounder as she grabbed 114 rebounds. For the second year in a row she received All-State Honorable Mention. The MFL girls’ basketball team finished the season as district champions and an overall record of 178. She was also the president of the Letterettes Club. Gail, also talented musically, was a member of the Girls Glee Club and played the piano. Gail was also active in youth programs at St. Paul Lutheran Church where

her dad served as the pastor. A member of the National Honor Society, the young Langholz girl graduated with honors and would continue her education at Wartburg College.

Following her time at Wartburg, Gail moved to Chicago where she married and had two daughters, Laura and Angela.

Obviously, losing her wallet had not affected Gail’s life in the least. In fact, her mother said, the family really never though about the incident again.

But, as fate would have it, the 43-year-old wallet had not been destroyed. As reported on KCCI News 8 in Des Moines the wallet was found when a construction worker at Veterans Memorial Auditorium pulled it out of a wall shaft. After realizing what he had found, he took it to the station and asked them to find the owner. Enter reporter Cynthia Fodor. Fodor, using her best detective skills, traced Gail to Chicago through utility bills and other public records. But, all of a sudden, the trail went cold.

Postville Child Care raising funds for ‘Naturalistic Playground’ Play area to include butterfly garden, block center, tunnel SHARON DRAHN NEWS EDITOR

Postville Child Care Center is in the process of installing a naturalistic playground to be used by children of all ages. This playground, when completed, will be innovative, environmentally sensitive and equipment free.

The naturalistic layout, Director Katie Hageman said, optimizes the entire playground and is designed and built to reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being. It is also

less costly than playgrounds with traditional, manufactured equipment.

Some of the things the area will provide include tree climbing, fort-making, mud pie making and much more.

Research says natural play contributes to the overall physical, cognitive and emotional development of children, helps them score higher on tests for concentration and selfdiscipline, helps them develop more diverse play and become healthier. These playgrounds are also proven to lower playground injuries and offer higher play value at lower cost and they offer perfect outdoor classrooms.

Hageman said, “Locally

Cici Mueller is going to help us develop a butterfly garden and we will be expanding our vegetable and flower garden.

We will also have a block center and tunnel.”

In order to raise funds for the playground, Postville Childcare Center is having a spring fundraiser.

Katie said, “We are excited to be selling fresh turkey tenders and butter braids. The turkey tenders will come with a marinade recipe and are great for grilling season.”

When the tenders are delivered, they will be fresh and will need to be picked up soon after delivery.

Along with the tenders, the Center will also be selling Butter Braids. The braids come

in many flavors including their newest flavor, strawberry and cream cheese.

The fundraiser will begin April 4 and run through April 20. Anyone wishing to order should stop at the center which is located 210 S. Ogden Street or call 563-864-7669.

All money raised will be used to continue the playground remodel.

Hageman said, “Some specific projects the money will used for include sodding the play area, putting in a sandbox and bike path, purchasing some bikes and laying surfacing in the infant play area.

Anyone having questions about the fundraiser should not hesitate calling the Center at 563-864-7669.

New VA Clinic now open in Decorah to service NE Iowa veterans

A ribbon cutting was held last week to formally open the new Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic at Centrum Plaz in Decorah. Robert Peters, a Veterans Affairs Commissioner from Allamakee County participated in the ceremony.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the new Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic at Centrum Plaza in Decorah last week.

Locals have been advocating for a clinic in Northeast Iowa for many years so the veterans would not have to travel to Iowa City to the VA Center for appointments; therefore, this was a very special day for Northeast Iowa veterans.

Robert Peters, a Veterans Affair Commissioner from Allamakee County who participated in the ribbon cutting, has been instrumental in the formation of the facility from the onset.

Wallet finds its way home

Hanna Langholz of Decorah holds a wallet which belonged to her daughter, Gail over 40 years ago. Gail lost the wallet while attending the State Basketball Tournament in Des Moines in 1970.

It was recently returned to her mother by reporter Cynthia Fodor of KCCI, Channel 8 in Des Moines.

Monona City Council meets April 2 Discuss police, mud volleyball, Band Stand and sidewalks RACHEL GULL

ASSISTANT EDITOR The Monona City Council held its regular meeting Monday, April 2. Present were Mayor Fran Passmore, City Administrator Dan Canton and council members Dan Havlicek, Andrew Meyer, Randee Blietz and James Feudner. Pat Martin was absent.

The council first heard from Guttenberg resident Tim Schmitt whose son T.J. and another youth were picked up with the intent to deliver drugs by the Monona Police Department in February 2010. Schmitt said that his son had not yet been charged for his actions. Schmitt said he has met with Police Chief Jane ScottQuandahl but has not received any further information.

“My son ... is in need of help,” Schmitt said. “I am just trying to get my son the consequences he needs.”

Mayor Passmore explained that with the recent termination of Police Officer Mike Donahue, various cases have been dropped.

The council’s police committee will meet to discuss the situation.

“You are not trying to get your son out of trouble,” Passmore said to the man. “You are trying to get him help. I commend you for that.”

Monona residents Elmer Marting and Ron Mueller discussed proposed improvements to the City Park Band Shell.

Marting said that an initial bid by Steve Haberichter of $2,850 was later changed to $10,250. The two said that the new cost was

We’ll Find It For You! Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll likely have it at one of our locations.

beyond their budget and asked the council’s permission to explore alternate bids and to proceed with fundraising. The council granted permission, but Marting and Mueller asked for a formal council resolution granting authorization to proceed with fundraising and bids for improvements to the Band Stand with the intent to keep the council updated as the project progresses. The council voted on and passed the resolution.

The Lions Club proposed creating a mud volleyball court in City Park as part of the June 16 Hay Days event. The council asked whether the ground can be restored after the court is created.

If not, they suggested creating a permanent sand volleyball court. It will be discussed at a later meeting.

Becky Holt was appointed to Pool Staff Manager and Linda Canton to Certified Pool Operator.

Garbage Amnesty Days will be held Monday, May 7 and Tuesday, May 8. Residents can dispose of additional garbage through curbside pick-up at no extra charge. Only regular garbage items- those that can be processed at the landfill- will be accepted.

Delta Dental of Iowa and the Iowa Department of Public Health awarded a $6,000 grant to the City of Monona for water fluoridation.

For the third year in a row, the city has been denied the CDBG housing grant, due to a high lowto-moderate income level.

The council chose not to vote on requiring sidewalk improvements.

The goal-setting meeting was set for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 11.

Televising of the downtown area sewers “looks really good,” said Canton.

Heather Homewood of the Allamakee County Veterans Affairs office said, “The new VA Outpatient Clinic is a very important asset to the veterans of Allamakee County as well as the surrounding counties.

Now instead of having to spend six hours going back and forth to Iowa City those needing medical attention can be seen in Decorah..

Prior to the opening of the new center, patients were spending about a 12 hour day just for a doctor’s appointment.”

The new clinic includes a lab, X-Ray center, a small

There may also be more services added as time goes on.

Homewood added, “We are pleased to see that much of the staff is local. The doctor is coming from Gundersen Lutheran in Prairie du Chien and her speciality is internal medicine.”

The clinic coordinator is a registered nurse from New Albin. The mental health nurse coordinator and one of the receptionists are also from the area.

According to Homewood, many veterans who have

never used the VA are now signing up for VA healthcare as it becomes more accessible to them.

She said, “This has been a long wait for our veterans and has involved much input from our legislators as well as a postcard campaign where veterans were asked to sign and send postcards as well as send them to their legislators petitioning them for a clinic in our area.”

Valerie Buckingham, a VA Public Relations Officer from Iowa City who also takes care of the Iowa City Clinic, will be taking care of the new clinic. She may be reached at 319-339-7104.

recognize the number so I didn’t answer. But, after listening to the message, I called the reporter back.

She was very kind and agreed to send me the wallet.

However, a few minutes later, she called back and said that she would bring it to me.”

A few days later, Ms. Fodor and her camera man drove to Decorah to visit Hanna at her home. She said, “Getting the wallet back was bittersweet as Gail had passed away last summer after a long illness.”

Looking through the wallet she recalled Gail’s basketball success as well as other aspects of her daughter’s teenage personality, and the fateful day her wallet disappeared.

She said, “I could not remember if she had a driver’s license at the time as she wasn’t all that interested in driving, but sure enough she had it right here in this billfold.”

Also in the wallet, along with her social security card and school activity ticket, were pictures of friends and a newspaper clipping from when she was free throw champion in 1969.

Asked if there was any money in the wallet, Hanna said, “No the money was gone. I am sure who ever took it, took the money and threw the billfold in the rafters. Surprisingly, there was a check left in the wallet. It was a check for $6 that my husband had written to the school for her lunch. The check was kind of charred so I am guessing it got hot where ever this (wallet) has been lodged for over 40 years.”

When asked what she planned to do with the wallet, Hanna said, “I’m going to keep it and maybe someday her girls will want it. It was just a nice feeling to know someone cared enough to track me down and return it. The memories came flooding back about Gail, our family, and our time in Monona. It means a lot.”

By the time you read this, your rhubarb will appear like celery’s wilder cousin, stalking the land briefly and throwing a jolt of great acidity to any dish it graces.

Now is the time for the fresh grown stuff, which tends to have maximum color and zing. With just a little water and plenty of sugar, the stringy stalks collapse into a luscious sauce in a saucepan or a pie like this one. I didn’t know that rhubarb usually sweetened for desserts , is really a vegetable.

Guiltless Mac and Cheese • 2 Cups uncooked multi-grain elbow macaroni • ¾ Cup shredded cheddar cheese • ¾ Cup shredded parmesan cheese • ½ Cup skim milk • 2 Egg whites, lightly beaten • ¼ Cup reduced-fat sour cream • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard • ¼ Teaspoon salt • ¼ Teaspoon pepper • 1 16 ounce bag petite peas, thawed • 1 Cup finely chopped cauliflower • ¼ Cup soft whole-wheat bread crumbs Preheat oven to 350 degrees Prepare macaroni in large Dutch oven according to package directions. Drain well; return to Dutch oven; cover and keep warm. Combine cheeses and add next eight ingredients in a bowl. Stir mixture into warm macaroni; spoon into casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle crumbs on top.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

If I have learned anything, I’ve learned you don’t sit and wait for your ship to come in, you swim out to meet it.

Marilyn read the poem, “Twas the night before Christmas,” with local towns inserted to make a good story. The weather was thoroughly discussed and all the spring flowers now in bloom in March.

Emergency generator purchased by Clayton County Pat McTaggart

Freelance writer

A joint effort between the Visiting Nurses Association and Clayton County Emergency Management, Clayton County has acquired a generator that can produce 100,000 kilowatts of electricity. The $45,000 generator was paid for with an Emergency Preparedness

grant from the Iowa Department of Public Health through the Visiting Nurses Association, which provided 2/3 of the funds, with Emergency Management picking up the remaining costs.

“We thought we needed this equipment because of what happened in Benton County a couple of years ago when straight line winds knocked out power to most

of that county,” Emergency Management Director Joel Biggs said. “This generator has the ability to provide power to a number of facilities as long as they have the correct connections, and it is mobile, so we can pull up to any facility, such as the Corrections Facility, a school, hospital or radio tower, and keep them running in case of a power emergency. We can also lend it out to adjoining

counties that may need help.”

“This grant, which we receive on a yearly basis, is to be used to prepare for emergencies,” Visiting Nurses Director Nancy Yelden added. “The generator will definitely help us if we need a power source to set up an alternative hospital or a medication dispensing station if the power is out in a particular section of the county.”

Clayton County Sheriff finds marijuana-growing operation

with Operating While Intoxicated 3rd Offense a Class D Felony. Behn was held pending an appearance before a judge.

On March 22, 2012 at 721pm the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a one vehicle accident at the intersection of Hwy 128 and Heron Avenue. Upon arrival deputies found a male subject with the car and three other persons walking down the gravel road. Upon seeing the deputies the three people walking took off running an attempt to elude the deputies. These three persons were caught and identified. It was determined that Lindsey Dripps 21 of Elkader was operating a 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo north on Heron Avenue when she came to the intersection of Hwy 128. Dripps then attempted to make a U-turn in the intersection and went into the ditch. Dripps showed signs of impairment and submitted to field sobriety testing. Dripps was subsequently placed under arrest and transported to the Clayton County Jail where she was charged with Operating While Intoxicated 2nd Offense, No Proof of Insurance, Operation without Registration, and Defective Tires. Dripps was held pending an appearance before a magistrate.

“The filing of a criminal charge is merely an accusation and the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt”.

The Standard During its regular meeting Monday, April 2, the Allamakee County Board of Supervisors met with Zoning Administrator Tom Blake, who presented the Board with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation for zoning fees. Blake presented the Board with a chart showing that the fees proposed are comparable, but generally somewhat less than the fees charged in Winneshiek, Fayette and Clayton Counties. The proposed fees remained the same as those previously presented to the Board, with the exception of building permit fees, which the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended changing to three “tiers” - $20 for projects costing $20,000 or less, $60 for projects costing $20,000 to $60,000, and $100 for projects costing $60,000 or more.

Chairman Larry Schellhammer and Supervisor Sherry Strub suggested adding

another tier for projects costing more than $100,000 with a building permit fee of $150. The Board again sent the proposal back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further consideration.

The Board signed a proclamation declaring April to be Sexual Assault Awareness month, which calls for Allamakee County residents to come together to educate the community about sexual violence, promote prevention of sexual violence in the community through education, and to hold perpetrators responsible.

The Board also met with County Engineer Brian Ridenour, who asked for and received the Board’s approval to hire David Hansmeier as a full-time Road Superintendent starting April 16 at $18.98 per hour. Ridenour also presented the Board with price quotes to replaced two motorgraders for the Secondary Roads department.

The Board asked Ridenour to wait for a decision until union negotiations with Secondary

Roads employees conclude.

Ridenour also suggested that the Board set a date for a public hearing on the County’s Title VI compliance, which involves complaints about discrimination. The Board set Monday, April 23 at 9:30 a.m. as the date and time for the hearing.

The Board approved the expenditure of approximately $18,000 for roof repairs at Makee Manor plus approximately $4,500 for insulation, if needed.

The Board met in closed session with attorney Mary Jane White and County Attorney Jill Kistler, afterwards terminating White as the special prosecutor in the case involving the Schaumberg property in Harpers Highlands and appointing Kistler as the primary prosecutor for the case. The Board approved Kistler’s request to appoint the Winneshiek County Attorney’s Office as the prosecutor in two cases in which the Allamakee County Attorney’s Office has conflicts of interest.

Flashback

Items of Interest from the Archives Five Years Ago - The Outlook • Monona Mayor Gene Nevermann, shows Clayton County Supervisors the original padlock and key that was used on the city jail, background, from 1918 until 1978. The jail was recently added to the display in the Willa Helwig History Center of the Monona Historical Society Museum. Supervisors are Randy Keehner, Wayne Bockenstedt and Larry Gibbs.

• Ask anyone where the shelter for domestic abuse victims is located in Clayton County, Iowa, and they will say, ‘I don’t know.’ That is because there isn’t one. Clayton County law enforcement officials take domestic abuse victims to other shelters in other counties, stretching their resources and using valuable time in the process.

• A new fire chief was sworn in when the Farmerburg City Council met April 2. The council also addressed the issues of barking dogs, a new bike rack for the library and city repairs. New fire chief, Lyndean Tielbar was approved and sworn in by Mayor Ron Dennler.

Ten Years Ago - The Outlook • The Monona City Council, at its April 1 meeting, approved spending $24,072.85 for a new pump and motor for Well No. 3. It will be a bronze pump which will cost about one third more, but will last about 30 years, twice as long as a cast pump.

The new pump and motor were determined to be necessary when routine well pulling was done.

• At the Wednesday, March 27, Marquette special council meeting, the Isle of Capri donated 200 feet of river front property to the city. In return, the Isle of Capri asks that the city makes substantial improvements to the property. The city approved a motion to contact MSA Professional Services to apply for a CAT grant to develop the land.

Development of the property would include a sidewalk, a 200-foot boat dock, lighting, and a handicapped fishing ramp.

• Sarah and John Wagner of Monona are taking over ownership of the Colonial Motel in Monona.

Sarah’s father, Jim Christianson, who has owned the business since June 1983, is retiring. After acquiring a feel for the business, the Wagners plan to make a few changes to the motel, including changing the aesthetics of the building.

Twenty-Five Years Ago - The Billboard • Sherri Buerger was crowned 1987 Clayton County Little Miss Squirt at the annual event last Saturday in the Elkader Opera House. Sherri is the daughter of LeAllan and Karen Buerger of Monona. Carmen Schulte daughter of Greg and Debra Schulte of Edgewood was first alternate and Kris Keehner, daughter of Larry and Thelma Keehner of Luana, was second alternate.

• Retiring Principal Wayne Venter was the honoree at a “Roast” as part of the MFL Senior Class Night Program. Venter was presented with a plaque by Mike Staff, class president, on behalf of the 1987 Senior Class. The plaque thanked Venter for his support and friendship.

• Once upon a time there was a little blue car that belonged to a little blonde girl. She loved her little car and played with it every day. Then she was grown up and the little blue car found itself all alone in a big lonely garage with all the other outgrown toys. Then 1 day the grown-up blonde girl discovered the lonely little blue car. So she took the little blue car to George Erbe for a little repair. And then to Northside Auto for a new coat of paint. And then the little blue car found a new home at Sunshine & Hair Co. It has lots of new little playmates and it’s not so hard to sit still for a haircut if they sit in the little blue car. Megan Healy, daughter of Mike and Roberta Healy got the first ride in the little car.

Fifty Years Ago - The Billboard • Recently attending an honors banquet at Oelwein, Iowa, were M-F-L Community School students Bob Tayek, Lew Schrandt and Ronnie Wessels with their Vocational Agriculture Instructor, John L. Wachter.

In Step with VMH Week #3

Women, Faith and Finance program NICC offers glass jewelry class will be Friday, April 13 in Decorah

Veterans Memorial Hospital’s Community Wellness Program, “In Step with VMH” began March 14. That means nearly 200 people in the area communities involved with this program are out exercising at least 5 times per week. Here are some tips on walking and exercise safety:

Area women of all ages will have an opportunity to learn more about financial management, retirement and estate planning, and charitable giving at the eighth annual Women, Faith and Finance seminar Friday, April 13.

Hosted by Luther College, the one-day educational seminar will be presented 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Hotel Winneshiek in Decorah. The program is open to the public.

Keynote speaker for the 2012 Women, Faith and Finance seminar will be Kathleen Rehl, Ph.D., awardwinning author and certified financial planner. Her presentation, “Claiming Your Passion, Purpose, and Power to Make a Difference in Our Communities,” will focus on the increasingly important role of women’s philanthropy.

The program will also include concurrent sessions led by area professionals on topics such as saving and spending wisely, Medicare and Senior Medicare Patrol, the current economy, and investing. The seminar will conclude with a presentation about combatting identity theft led by David Smutzler, assistant chief of the Decorah Police Department, and Carol Jensen, vice president of Luana Savings Bank.

Walking safety tips and team results

• Wear bright colored clothing during the day and reflective clothing at night.

• Always walk on the sidewalk if one is available.

• If there are no sidewalks available, always walk on the far edge of the street or road facing the oncoming traffic.

• If using a “walkman” or another type of radio headset, do so with caution.

Keep the volume down low so oncoming traffic can easily be heard.

• Wear walking shoes with thick soles to help absorb the shock on the legs and feet from walking on hard surfaced streets and roads.

• Obey all traffic signals and road signs and cross the streets only at the crosswalks.

• If walking in hot weather, wear light clothing and drink plenty of liquids.

If walking a long distance, take along liquids to avoid dehydration.

Stick Up for the Little Guy One of the recurring themes in the Bible is that God loves an underdog. There are numerous occurrences of the little guy defeating a bigger and stronger opponent. David slaying Goliath is perhaps the most obvious example, but there are many others. God chose a stutterer to be his mouthpiece when he chose Moses.

The youngest son is chosen to fight for and lead his people in the case of David, and prostitutes and outcasts are sometimes heroes, as with Rahab and Tamar. When God's chosen ones have their crisis

of confidence, which they almost always do, God tells them to buck up (or “gird up their loins”) and know that He, the Lord, is behind them. We are earthen vessels, weak and fragile, but we can do all things through God who strengthens us. So, stick up for the little guy, especially when he is outnumbered and the odds are against him. Remember also, that we too may often be the little guy, or the one who is outnumbered, and we should take pride and confidence in the fact that the Lord has our back.

Can you identify this mystery photo?

Jillian Haberichter Bulldog Growl

Junior shows a passion for photography Ashley Heins

Bulldog Growl MFL MarMac junior Carly Matthew is a basketball cheerleader and someone who plays the saxophone for the high school band. But what you may not know is she also takes photos in her spare time.

It all began in 6th grade Carly received a small camera as a present from her parents. She posted the pictures on the websites, Facebook and Flickr, where people commented about how good the pictures were.

That is where her hobby began.

Sports and nature are her favorite things to photograph. When she likes the photos, she sends them to Walgreens to be printed.

“I love photoshop(a program used to edit photos). because I am able to edit the photos anyway I like.” says Carly.

She now has two cameras

Bulldog Growl

and has even named them.

Carly says, “One a Nikon, I named Ashton, after Ashton Kutcher from the Nikon commercial, and the other is an SLR I named Eloise.”

Although Carly enjoys taking photos she doesnʼt like her picture taken. So when asked if she likes being infront of the camera as well her immediate response was, “Behind, definitely.”

Carly has attended workshops in Dubuque, to get better at her hobby where she was placed in a group and sent out to take pictures that would later be critiqued by other participants.

Her hobby continues to grow. When Carly was younger she wanted to be an artist. Now she wants to do a variety of things, such as Sociology, Interior Design, Photography, and Graphic Design. Although school makes it difficult, she will continue with her hobby of photography.

When it comes to fashion, everybody has their own tastes. Some try for cute; others try for the sporty look. Whatever the case, the clothing chosen to wear should be school appropriate.

When I wake up in the morning, I am usually thinking about whether or not the chores are finished, while others worry about what they are going to wear to school. Some even spend days before picking out items of clothing that will be worn.

Me, all I care about is matching. I do not wear the same color of shirt as I do

pants. I also do not wear tight clothes or short shorts.

I personally am not a fan of wearing tight clothing. I also believe that some people who wear tight clothing probably should not.

There are also many items of clothing that should not be worn in our school.

According to the dress code, clothing that is distracting and offensive to other students is not permitted.

But what does this consist of? In my opinion, distractions of clothing are shirts that show way too much, extremely short shorts and pants that hang half way down a personʼs backside, that need to be pulled up constantly.

In our high school, if a teacher believes that the clothing a student wears is offensive, they may ask the

student to change. I agree.

Some people who are asked to change definitely should.

But I also believe that if a teacher is going to address one person, they should address others who wear the same type of clothing, and in a reasonable manner.

When a teacher asks a student to change his or her clothing selection, they should do so in a respectful tone, not yelling. I know most teachers calmly tell the student to change in private and do not create a scene.

I believe the dress code is fine the way it is. I also think that kids need to respect the dress code and choose their clothing according to it. So when it comes to what you wear in the morning, just remember, there are people paying attention.

River Bluffs Scenic Byway to host public meetings in area Department of Economic Development conducted a survey to find out what travelers planned on doing during their trip to Iowa.

Over 60% of travelers said they were interested in Scenic Byways. Another survey conducted by the Iowa Welcome Centers revealed that the #1 request they received in 2009 was people asking for information about Scenic Byways. When the same study was conducted in 2010, it showed that one in three travelers said that knowledge of the Byways extended their stay in the area.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the project and provide input while enjoying a complimentary lunch.

Lady Pirate track opens season at North Fayette

By Chad Drahn Herald Sports

The girls opened the outdoor track season last week at North High. Coach Brad Rose said, “It was a good first outdoor meet for us. There were no medals at this meet so we just wanted to go into the meet and be competitive.”

He continued, “Our relays ran well, but our exchanges were not clean so we have room for improvement.”

The shuttle-hurdle relay team set a new school record with their performance even with Katelyn Wedo hitting the last hurdle. The hurdle height in this race changed from 30 inches to 33 inches five years ago and Postville has had very few groups run the race since then.

The Lady Pirates had a few personal bests as well beith Alanda Fishback throwing personal bests in both the shot put and discus.

Shaunaye Hendry jumped to a personal best in the long jump.

Coach Rose added, “I was happy with all our performances, we are a young team and all we are going to do is improve as the season goes forward.”

100 meter: Linzie Sebastian, 15.28; Sarita Hernandez, 15.53 100 hurdles: Katelyn Wedo, 18.67; Amber Schutte, 19.99; Anjela Bubiy, 20.50; Linzie Sebastian, 22.17 400 hurdles: Katelyn Wedo, 1:19.32, fifth Discus: Alanda Fishback, 82.00; Bridgette Lubka, 55-10

Pirate Football Team volunteers at Special Olympics

BY SHARON DRAHN NEWS EDITOR

Sunday, March 25 Coach Mike Minikwu and several members of the Pirate football team traveled to Cedar Falls to help with the Special Olympics at the UNI Dome.

Asked about how they decided to help with this event, Coach Minikwu said, “I was looking for a service project for our kids during the off season and while talking to other coaches the Special Olympics were mentioned. I saw this as a perfect opportunity for us, as a football team, to help others.”

He went on, “I wanted our players to experience something they would normally experience in a small town in Northeast Iowa. It was also a good way to show the kids how lucky they are and to be thankful for what they have.”

Each of the players, along with the coach, were ‘buddied up” with a Special Olympian. It was their job to get the participants to their events, get them prepared and cheer them on.

Along with the Pirate athletes, there were volunteers from many other area schools as well as the UNI football team. Among the 400 volunteers were football teams from North Fayette, Cedar Falls, Union, West Delaware to name a few. Some schools also brought any student who signed up so there was a mixture of male and female volunteers.

The Pirate Coach said, “We volunteered from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.. It was so neat to see these kids compete in swimming and track and field. The glowing smiles, thumbs up and high fives were priceless.”

He went on, “We also learned a bit about the

history of the Special Olympics and the positive impact it has had on millions of lives. Our kids were able to see Special Olympic Athletes doing something we do on Friday nights as we play football as a team.

These special athletes are also competitive, play as a team, have fun and work toward a common goal just like we do. I was honored to spend a day cheering for the Special Olympians and look forward to doing it again.”

The coach was also quick to praise the Pirates who participated in the program by commenting, “Our guys did a great job. Some were uncomfortable at first but by the end of the day, everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves. As long as I am able, I plan to continue to have the team volunteer at the Special Olympics as a kick-off to our off-season leadership program.”

Sumner-Fredericksburg and Valley are typically tough teams in the conference and this year looks to be no different.

The coach concluded by saying, “I’m looking forward to working with the kids, in this my first year as head coach. They have all had really good attitudes so far and I hope that continues.

We will keep trying to get

better with each practice.”

Trenton Plaht: “The people we helped were pretty cool and so were the athletes.”

Jacob Roach: “I learned that we can all take one day from our lives to help those in need.”

Logan Radloff: “I learned that many of take for granted what we have and it taught me a lot of new things.”
