Prosperous Ridge women’s club, which held its first meeting June 17, 1926, gathered at East Park Terrace last Saturday, July 16 to celebrate the organization’s 90th anniversary.

With husbands and former members as their guests, the women hosted a potluck supper and reminisced about the club’s beginning and its history.

As was the custom in the early part of the 20th century, women in country neighborhoods gathered for sociability and study. The neighborhood women who lived southeast of Postville, many along

the Gunder Road, aptly named their club Prosperous Ridge.

The first meeting of the club was held at the home of Mrs. William Baltz. Along with Mrs. Baltz, other charter members were Mrs. Louie Bigler, Mrs Henry Bigler, Mrs. Victor Casten, Mrs. Ben Erickson, Mrs,. Anston Helgerson, Mrs Ed McNeil, Mrs. Cevert Meyer, Mrs. Sophie Meyer, Mrs. Joseph Olson, Mrs. Ella Renzmann, Mrs. Bernard Waters, Mrs. Leonard Waters, Mrs. Lawrence Welzel, Mrs. Robert Welzel. Mrs. Ed Nuehring and Mrs. Enock Mork joined the club at the September meeting.

As the club was organized in the summer, the second meeting in July

of 1926 was a neighborhood picnic.

Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Water were the hosts and nearly 100 neighbors and friends were guests.

The group, like so many early organizations, was dedicated to service. One of the first projects, and one they carried out for many years, was to make quilts for the Children’s Home in Council Bluffs.

Along with the quilts, they sent sheets, pillow cases, clothing, cookies and eggs, many times as many as 30 dozen. More recently they continue to help with functions at the Good Samaritan Center and help others in need as the need arises.

The first Prosperous Ridge song books were purchased in the fall of 1927. Their history reflects that the 18 song books costs $1.83. The same books were used until 1951.

As women became more independent, it is noted in the 1935 minutes, that the women were to be called by their first names rather than that of their spouse and that roll call would be in alphabetical order.

Although rules were quite lenient, the women did have to adhere to a few stringent guidelines.

If anyone missed six regular meeting in succession without a proper excuse, they would be asked to resign and women were forbidden to serve more than three items for lunch. The first dues were $1 per year, but during the depression in 1932 dues were reduced to 50 cents. Current members pay annual dues of $5.

Silver serving trays were purchased in 1938 and were passed from hostess to hostess for each meeting. The two and one half dozen trays cost $6.73. If a club member wanted to borrow them for an event rather than a club meeting, they were to be rented at a cost of one cent each.

The social committee was chosen each year by the president and they were selected with special reference to their social qualities.

Allamakee County Conservation Board to host Summer Naturalist Series July 28

Osborne Center hosts Dellaykee District Cub Scout Day Camp

The Allamakee County Conservation Board will be hosting “Going Native: Transforming your yard back to the Wild” as part of their Summer Naturalist Series July 28, 2016 at 7 p.m. Staff from the ACCB will discuss the benefits of using native grasses and plants around your yard to improve quality of life for animals and for your family. The Summer Naturalist series is held at the ACCB Headquarters, 427 N. First Street, Harpers Ferry.

The Dellaykee District Cub Scout Day Camp was held in June at the Osborne Nature Center in Elkader, Iowa.

The Cub Scout Day Camp theme for this year was "SURVIVAL" and being that it was an extremely hot and humid day for this event, we did survive.

The Cub Scouts were provided an educational, hands on experience, fun filled program that met the expectations of learning survival skills.

The presenters for this program were the Clayton County Deputies Brent Ostrander and Tim Engelhardt, US Fish and Wildlife Refuge Officer Nick Stavroplus,

The Summer Naturalist Series is a monthly series of family education programs hosted in June, July, and August that are free to attend. Cultural and environmental issues with Allamakee County and the Driftless Area will be discussed.

The remaining dates for the 2016 programs are July 28, and August 25 at 7p.m.

Area schools purchase $63,000 in local food Northeast Iowa schools purchased over $63,000 in food from local farms in the 201516 school year. Fourteen school districts contributed numbers to the survey which is conducted annually

by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach on behalf of the Northeast Iowa Food and Fitness Initiative.

Respondents included community school districts (CSD) in Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Howard, Fayette and Winneshiek counties.

The Allamakee Community School District secured the honors for Most Local Food Purchases with $18,540. The Decorah Community School District edged out the Postville and North Fayette districts for second place with $14,848 and $14,334 and $8,888 in food purchases, respectively.

These four school districts were also the top purchasers in the 201415 school year. The other districts in the survey each purchased $2000 or less.

Because the region’s school districts range in size from 3001400 students, FFI also recognizes the schools who spend the most on local food per student per year. The top three schools in this category are Postville CSD at $21.27 per student; Allamakee CSD at $16.33 per student and North Fayette CSD at $11.18 per student.

Special recognition goes to Decorah CSD and St. Joseph school in New Hampton for spending over $9.00 per student.

St. Joseph school also received the Most Improved Award for tripling their local food purchases from the previous year.

Overall, school purchases for the 2015-16 school year were down.

Availability of products due to supply and weather were listed as challenges. Highlights included the local beef, pork and yogurt offered to students.

“These schools should be proud of their achievements,” said Teresa Wiemerslage, local food coordinator

for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “Not only have they sourced high quality products for local school children, but also because they have also invested in the farmers that support our towns and schools.”

When schools purchase local foods, their purchases trigger even more local economic activity.

Several studies estimate that buying local food has a multiplier effect of 1.4-2.6 throughout the local economy; for every dollar spent locally, another 40 cents to $1.60 of economic activity is generated.

Northeast Iowa schools have purchased over $238,000 from local farmers since 2008.

90th anniversary from front

The women began holding flower shows in 1941 and still visit Donna Zieman’s garden every July. They have also visited Nancy Engelhardt’s landscaping and pond.

The women have enjoyed traveling all over Northeast Iowa as well as sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Helping others has been a very special mission of the club through the years. In December of 1940 they decided to give $5.00 to some of the poor families in Postville and another time they bought a bushel basket and filled it with useful things for the hospital. They also donated towels and wash clothes to the hospital.

Sociability expanded greatly in the early 60’s when a couple’s card club was added in 1963. A housewarming for new families and those newly married who move into the neighborhood is still a tradition the club carries on. The first card club was held at the home of Cliff and Ida Mae Olson in October of 1963. The card club was discontinued in recent years as people moved out of the

Central Community Hospital EMS Director Todd Eiffert and EMT Matt Klingman, Retired Conservationist Denny Kirschbaum, Naturalist Abbey Harkrader, Naturalist Kenny Slocum, Jesse Mott, and life guard John Stavroplus. The Cub Scouts rotated through seven different stations each presenting skills and knowledge for survival. After all scouts completed rotation, they ended the day with a wet and wild time in the cool Volga River.

These cub scouts are from Manchester, Strawberry Point, Elkader, Postville, Monona, Waukon, Lansing, McGregor, Marquette, Colesburg, Farmersburg, and Guttenburg.

neighborhood or as health forced some to resign.

The Prosperous Ridge Club has studied many topics over the years.

Some lessons have included chair refinishing and installation of cane seats and backs, cake decorating, microwave demonstrations, genealogy, and make up and personal appearance. In recent years the women have had many craft sessions and have had a guest come in to teach them knitting.

A club trip was also a highlight of each Prosperous Ridge Club year. They have gone to Amish communities, antique shops and many historical sites. Wanting to stay connected to the community, locally they have toured Norplex, Iowa Turkey Products (before the fire) and Hygrade (now Agri-Star).

The fortieth anniversary of the club was noted with a luncheon at St. Paul Lutheran Church. Dorothy Nuehring was the toastmistress, Carol Wettleson introduced the members and a short club history was read by Darlene Nuehring.

The Prosperous Ridge Club held a family picnic July 18, 1976 to celebrate 50 years. Alma Welzel was the oldest guest present. Donna Zieman gave highlights of the club’s history.

With hectic lifestyles and changing family needs, the current membership of the Prosperous Ridge Club is much less than it was in 1926. However, it continues to be obvious that the ten members of the group are dedicated to continuing the tradition which was deeply rooted by their neighborhood ancestors. They currently meet the third Monday of each month with many special events held throughout the year. A membership committee plans the year’s activities as members take turns hosting the meetings . As they socialize, they quite often learn something new as well. Special gatherings are quite often held to correspond with holidays and other community events.

Current members of the Prosperous Ridge Club are Glenda Bodensteiner, Marcia Dibble, Gwen Foels, Betty Martins, Eileen Meyer, Darlene Nuehring, Dorothy Nuehring, Dianne Schultz, Donna Zieman and Linda Zuercher. Both Darlene and Dorothy Nuehring have been members for over 50 years.

As they celebrate 90 years, Linda Zuercher is the president, Dianne Schultz vice president and Darlene Nuehring is secretary treasurer.

which means summer is on the down slide, it seems it’s going way too fast.

For the Herald

The garden is really starting to produce. We’ve had new potatoes and peas creamed. The beets have been really good and sweet this year. I made some pickled beets and froze some. I also made dill pickles and bread and butter pickles. Now I’m done until the tomatoes are all ready. It’s been a busy week with a funeral and a wedding all in southern Iowa. It is the middle of July

Carolina Coleslaw • 1 large head of cabbage, finely shredded • 1 medium green pepper, chopped fine • 1 medium red onion, chopped fine • 2 carrots, grated Dressing • 1 cup sugar • 1 tsp. salt • 2/3 cup canola oil • 1 tsp. dry mustard • 1 tsp. celery seed • 1 cup apple cider vinegar Mix all vegetables in a large bowl. In a saucepan, combine dressing ingredients. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until chilled. Great to top pulled pork or shredded turkey.

If I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned the only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook!

Root Beer Pulled Pork These recipes came from Jim McCaffrey chef and co-owner of McCaffrey Dolce Vita restaurant in Decorah. If you haven’t eaten there you really need to try it.

• 2-1/2 to 3 lb. pork butt • 1/2 tsp. salt • 1/2 tsp pepper • 1 Tbsp. canola oil • 2 medium onions, sliced thin • 1 cup root beer • 1 cup bottled chili sauce • 6 cloves garlic, minced • 3 cups root beer Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Brown meat on all sides in the canola oil. Put meat in a 5-quart crock-pot; add onions, 1 cup root beer, and garlic. Cook 4-5 hours on high. Sauce: combine remaining root beer and chili sauce in a large sauce pan. Simmer and let cook down about 30 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board. Using two forks shred pork. Place in bowl and add cooked sauce; mix well.

Place on bun and top with Carolina slaw.

I have also made this with a 2 to 3 lb. turkey breast.

Clayton County criminal case reports Clayton County Attorney Alan Heavens reported the following summary of recent developments in Clayton County criminal cases.

The Iowa Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed a 35 year prison sentence with a 17-1/2 year mandatory minimum given to J.D. Wilbert Louis Tuecke for sexual abuse assault and burglary.

The defendant was originally sentenced in 2010 and resentenced in 2015 due to a change in juvenile sentencing laws made by the Iowa Supreme Court in 2014.

The defendant appealed. The Court of Appeals ruled that the prison sentence was not cruel and unusual punishment under the Iowa Constitution “merely because the offenses were committed when he was a juvenile” and also found that the sentencing judge considered all the pertinent factors in determining the defendant’s sentence and did not abuse his discretion in imposing a mandatory minimum sentence. The defendant did not ask for further review from the Iowa Supreme Court.

Dysart man dies after falling into Mississippi River near Clayton A Dysart man has died after being pulled from the Mississippi River just south of Clayton.

Charles Petersen, 60, was a passenger on a boat being operated by his wife, Deborah Petersen, 54, when he fell into the river from the rear of the boat at approximately 7:30 p.m. Monday, July 11, 2016.

Charles Petersen was not wearing a life jacket when he fell in and two other passengers in the boat threw him a life jacket before entering the water themselves to try and assist him. They were able to get him back to the boat, but were unable to get back on board the vessel.

A rescue boat from the Garnavillo Fire Department responded to the scene and emergency personnel were able to get Charles Petersen loaded on their boat and back to shore where

he was assisted by Garnavillo paramedics. He was transported by ambulance to Guttenberg Municipal Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Alcohol was not a contributing factor and the boat was being operated at a slow speed at the time Petersen fell into the river.

In addition to Garnavillo, rescue boats from the fire departments at Guttenberg, IA and Glen Haven, WI, were also launched. Emergency medical services personnel from Garnavillo and Guttenberg assisted at the scene as did the police departments from Garnavillo and Guttenberg and the Clayton County Sheriff’s Department.

The incident remains under investigation by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.

RHONDA ANETTE KNUTSON Rhonda Knutson was killed in the early morning hours of Monday, Sept. 7, 1992 – Labor Day – while working at the Phillips 66 convenience store in Williamstown, just north of the intersection of highways 18, 63 and 346 in Chickasaw County. She was found at 4:45 a.m. by the store owner. Autopsy results determined Knutson was beaten to death and there were no signs of sexual assault.

According to the Chickasaw County Sheriff ’s Office, Knutson suffered severe traumatic head injuries from a beating with a blunt object. Robbery was not considered a motive in the slaying.

The investigation into her death included hundreds of interviews by deputies and agents from the Iowa Division of Criminal Investi-

gation (DCI), along with employing a private investigator and several psychics.

Two truckers, whom witnesses allegedly saw in the convenience store the morning Knutson was killed, were sought for questioning, but never found. Both men were described as heavy-set Caucasians with dark hair, and between the ages of 35 and 45. Witnesses described the first suspect as having a beard and mustache, and pulling a white and silver trailer behind a conventional tractor. They described the second suspect as clean-shaven, though couldn’t link him to any specific vehicle.

Authorities printed and mailed out news bulletins about the case to truck stops throughout the US in efforts to generate more leads but the case remains unsolved.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF NORTHEAST IOWA

Pet of the Week

Avery showed up unexpectedly in an outdoor cat shelter. Acting somewhat social, but scared, he appeared to be a “dumped cat”. Not knowing whether “he” was pregnant or had a wormy tummy, he was humanely trapped under close supervision. Avery ended up being a male.

After a week of gourmet food, lots of soft talks and slow movements from his foster mom, he allowed his neck to be scratched.

He exposed his tummy for a rub the next day! He has turned into a lap cat loving attention from you and will bat at your retrieving hand if you finish too soon.

He is doing great playing with toys and isn’t jumpy with moments or noises. He is a very talkative cat and communicates quite well with a tone that distinguishes what he is thinking. He has some handsome markings, including a tiny dot under his chin and a black stripe on his chest. He is a very neat cat with his kitty litter. He is currently at the adoption center. He has been neutered, has his shots, tested negative for Felv/Fiv and has been wormed. His adoption fee is $75. An application can be filled out at: www. hsnei.org/application-for-adoption

Summer food safety from VMH Nutrition Services It’s finally summer! The beautiful weather brings ample opportunities for grilling and gettogethers; and what turns a party from so-so to spectacular? Food of course!

The warmer temperatures pose higher risks for food borne illnesses, and getting sick from something you eat makes for an unforgettable (and undesirable) experience! The “Temperature Danger Zone” is between 40*F-140*F. In that range bacteria multiply rapidly and can make you sick. How can you avoid it?

It’s simple; keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Here are a few pointers to keep you and your guests safe all summer long: • Place cold food in a cooler with ice or frozen gel packs. Meat, poultry and seafood may be packed while still frozen so they stay colder longer.

• Keep raw meats securely wrapped and separated from foods like prewashed fruits and vegetables, salads and desserts.

That way their juices won’t contaminate the ready to eat

foods.

• Keep perishables and beverages in separate coolers. The constant opening and closing of a beverage cooler causes the temperature to easily rise.

This can wreak havoc on your perishable foods.

When you’re ready to fire up the grill, here are some things to keep in mind: • If meats are marinated, don’t reuse the marinade. If you plan to use some marinade as a sauce on the finished product, reserve a portion separately BEFORE adding the raw meat.

• Cook food thoroughly. Have your food thermometer ready to ensure you cook to the safe internal temperature. Burgers and brats need to reach 160*F and chicken breasts 165*F to be considered safe to eat. Hot dogs need only be heated to 140*F. • Use a different set of utensils when transitioning from raw to cooked food. Using the same pair of tongs for raw and

cooked isn’t a very good idea!

When serving, the key is to never let your food remain in the “Danger Zone” for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour if outdoor temperatures are above 90*F. Cold perishable food should be kept in the cooler at 40*F or below until serving time. Containers of ready to eat salads and desserts may be placed directly on ice.

Drain the water as the ice melts and replace the ice frequently.

Hot food should be kept hot, at or above 140*F. Keep cooked foods in an insulated container until serving time.

This rule applies to cold and hot foods alike: if they’re kept out for 2 hours, or 1 hour if the temperature is 90*F or above, it’s time to discard them. It’s not worth the risk.

For more information, please call the Nutrition Specialists Jennifer Palmer or Jill Fleming at Veterans Memorial Hospital at (563) 568-3411.

Harold R. McMillin, Jr.

Take It! "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

Sunday, July 24: 8:30 am Worship/ Eucharist at Luana; 10 am Worship at Farmersburg Tuesday, July 26: 10:30 am Clergy Text Study

Galatians 5:1 NIV If you want to be truly free, you must take your freedom and run with it. Prior to and during the U.S. Civil War, slaves who wanted their freedom had to make a decision about whether to risk life and limb by running away.

Given the risks, this must have been a heart-wrenching decision. But we can learn something from this example. We can be enslaved by many things, by addictions, by our own habits of thought and action, and by fear or timidity. If we are going to live our own lives by our own lights then at some point we have to take our freedom into our own hands and put ourselves at the helm of our own ship. This can be a hard thing to do. It is usually easier to let others run our lives. Children get used to their parents making most of their decisions for them, and some never grow out of this habit. The human will is a muscle that must be developed. If you would be free, you must believe in yourself and believe that you have the capacity to direct your own life. Then develop a plan to become the person you long to be. And finally, put the plan into action. As a good friend of mine likes to say, “Plan the work and work the plan.” Remember also to make adjustments to the plan if it isn’t going perfectly. Some adjustments or corrections are needed in even the best plans.

News from the Statehouse State Representative

Patti Ruff

July 13, 2016 June 30th marked the end of the state’s 2016 fiscal year, and at first glance, it appears that revenues will be slightly below what was anticipated from the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC), which was 3.3% or just over $7 billion. That estimate was adjusted down by $149 million to 2.2% when taking into account the tax coupling and consumables bill passed by the legislature this session.

Revenues came in at a growth rate of 1.7% or $6.7 billion, but this isn’t the final revenue number for fiscal year 2016. State agencies will have another 60 days to report all final receipts and expenditures, and a final FY 2016 revenue statement will be made public close to the first of October.

It is very possible that reversions from state agencies could be higher than originally estimated, but this won’t be confirmed until October.

Iowa’s overall economy doesn’t seem to be growing as much as originally predicted, but modest growth with full reserve funds are signs that we shouldn’t worry until October when the final fiscal year 2016 revenue numbers are revealed.

The Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) recently announced customer meetings of Black Hills Energy (BHE) regarding farm tap gas customers. Along with the announcement of the meetings, the IUB approved an amended customer notice to all BHE customers regarding the potential impact of the increased fee over the next few years.

Certain customers have “farm

taps” whose gas fuel line connects directly to the interstate natural gas pipeline owned by Northern Natural Gas Company (NNG).

Now, BHE provides natural gas distribution service to farm tap customers on behalf of NNG including billing, customer service, responses to gas leaks, maintenance of odorizers, delivery pressure tests, and consultation on the installation and repair of customer-owned facilities.

Most of the customer-owned fuel lines were installed many years ago, and the condition of these fuel lines is unknown, since no maintenance records exist. As a result, BHE has proposed a plan that will require farm tap fuel lines to have safety tests to comply with current safety standards, adopt access requirements, establish a line replacement program, and clarify the liability of Black Hills Energy and the farm tap customer for the fuel lines. BHE proposes to replace substandard customerowned fuel lines with new lines that the company would own, operate and maintain. The cost of testing and replacing these lines would be covered by the company until its next rate review. Then, BHE plans to recover those costs as an additional monthly surcharge over a three-year period. The additional surcharge will be paid by all customers, not just farm tap customers.

The closest customer meeting in our area will be held on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, at the Manchester Fire Department, 400 E. Main Street, Manchester Iowa, at 6:30 p.m.

Clayton County native running for National Commander Denise (Hulbert) Rohan is running for the position of National Commander of the American Legion. If elected, she will be the first woman to hold the position.

Born in McGregor, Denise grew up in Elkader with her parents, Joe and Dorothy Hulbert, and two sisters. After graduating from Central Community High School she enlisted in the United States Army in 1974, where she became an instructor in the Quartermaster Corps at Fort Lee, VA. She was honorably discharged in 1976 after attaining the rank of Specialist.Obtaining a college degree from Mount Senario College in Ladysmith, WI, she was employed by the University of Wisconsin as the Assistant bursar of Student loans until her retirement in 2012.

Denise joined the American Legion in 1984 and has served in various positions in the local, district and national levels. While she was a post commander she established the Sons of the American Legion

Clayton County native Denise Rohan is running to become the first female commander of the American Legion.

Squadron 333 and chartered Boy Scout Troop 333. Both she and her husband Mike are 2006 graduates of the National American Legion College and 2015 graduates of the Wisconsin American Legion College – basic Course. She currently serves

as a volunteer in the 115th Fighter Wing, Wisconsin Air National Guard Airman and Family readiness Program.

The Rohans currently live in Verona, WI. “I served Wisconsin as Department Commander in 2011/12 and at the end of my term the Wisconsin delegates endorsed me for National Commander,” she said.

“I was named an official candidate last August at the end of our national convention in Baltimore. There is a 2 Year campaign process during which I attempt to visit all the states. The election takes place August 24, 2017 during The American Legion’s 99th annual convention in Reno, NV. At this point I am running unopposed.

In the history of the organization, Wisconsin has only had one National Commander - Keith Kreul from Fennimore.”

“It is a huge honor to be a candidate, she added. “I have been an American Legion member for 32 years and truly believe in what The American Legion Family stands

for and does. The Commander represents the 2.2 million members of The American Legion across the nation and in several foreign countries. Meeting with legislators in Washington D.C. and as needed in the states. There is usually a meeting with the president in the Oval Office.

We work on behalf of veterans, their families and our communities.”

Denise said growing up in northeast Iowa helped make her ready for the position of National Commander. “Giving back to my community is something I learned from my parents and growing up in Elkader with so many great role models. My time at Central, and especially the speech classes taught there, helped me prepare for public speaking. Who would have thought my two Year Army enlistment in 1974 would lead to my seeing the world 40 some years later. My husband Mike is a big part of my journey, it would not be possible without his support. “

Farmland leasing meetings to increase understanding of rental agreements Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is hosting multiple farmland leasing meetings during July and August at various times and locations throughout northeast Iowa. The annual meeting is offered to address questions that land owners, tenants or other interested individuals have about leasing farmland.

Topics will include land values and cash rent trends, cost of production, methods for determining a rental rate, legislative updates regarding leases, and communicating with tenants or landlords.

“More than half of Iowa’s farmland is rented, and strong landlord/tenant relationships are important for the long-term viability of Iowa’s valuable farmland,” said Melissa O’Rourke, ISU Extension Farm & Agribusiness Management Specialist. O’Rourke is a licensed attorney with extensive experience

in working with farm, ranch and agribusiness interests.

“Cash rent values across the state of Iowa have declined for the third consecutive year, dropping by 6.5 percent from 2015. Every crop reporting district in the state saw a decline in rental prices,” said O’Rourke.

The three-hour workshop is designed to assist landowners, farm tenants and other agribusiness professionals with current issues related to farmland ownership, management and leasing arrangements. Attendees will gain a better understanding of current cash rental rate surveys and factors driving next year’s rents such as market trends and input costs.

A 100-page workbook is compiled for the programs, with resources regarding land leasing agreements such as surveys, sample written lease agreements and

termination forms, along with many other publications.

Baseball team loses to eighth ranked Jesup in first round tournament action CHAD DRAHN

HERALD SPORTS The Postville Pirates traveled to Jesup on July 12 for the first round of baseball district play. The Pirate battled the number eight J-Hawks.

The Pirate season came to an end following the 12-0 loss.

The J-Hawk pitcher dominated the Pirate hitters allowing only one hit in the contest.

Mac Hughes started on the mound for the Pirates allowing only four earned runs in four and one third innings. Hughes and the Pirate defense struggled in the fifth inning and Hughes was replaced with Dakota Hamilton. Hamilton struggled with the strike zone and

8th Annual Big 4 5K Run/Walk

two more Pirate errors lead to a eight run fifth and giving Jesup a 12-0 win in five innings.

Coach Luke Steege said, “Mac pitched extremely well. He had good control and mixed up his pitches keeping the J-Hawk hitters off balance. We played pretty good defense during the first four innings, but we made far too many mistakes in the fifth and that opened the flood gates. Gavin Ruckdaschel had our only hit of the day. Overall, we played very well against a very good baseball team.”

The Pirates will have their yearend banquet next week. Watch for the award listings in the next issue of the Herald.

Participates of the 8th Annual Big 4 5K Run/Walk are pictured above. The event was held June 18, 2016. Top Overall Male Runner was Stew Otting with a time of 19:01 and Top Overall Female Runner was Julie Archer with a time of 23:07. The Cherry Valley Chums 4-H Club will be donating $500 to the Postville Ambulance and $500 to the Postville Fire Department with the proceeds from the event.

‘Robots in Space’ takes off due to donors Robots in Space Camp was a huge success for 4th grade and above camps, in large due to 3M and the Northeast Iowa Business Network. Both companies donated toward the purchase of 3 iPads and 4 GoPro cameras that were used in a Mars simulation activity.

The GoPros were attached to LEGO EV3 robots and controlled using Bluetooth on one iPad, while the other iPad received a live visual feed from the GoPro. The youth had to learn to navigate without seeing the vehicle and deal with delay, much like NASA engineers do (however our wait time was seconds, while those communicating with Mars Rovers are 60 min.)

The camp also included creating

water bottle rockets that were shot off in the park in both Elkader and Guttenberg. Then the youth also attached a parachute capsule with a raw egg that they designed to have the egg land without breaking.

Combining the two camps, half of the youth had a safe landing.

To round out the camp a former space engineer who worked at NASA, Jared Renshaw (husband of Strawberry Point native, Emmaly Fenton) video chatted with the groups on questions they had about Mars, Space, and careers in Space Engineering.

Robots in Space was a camp put on by the ISU Extension and Outreach- Clayton County and led

by Program coordinator, Shannon Durbin.

Smoking out the myths about marijuana

Thank You

Marijuana is a highly debated topic. The perception that marijuana is harmful has been greatly reduced, especially among youth. Media coverage and legalization of retail marijuana and marijuana used for medical purposes in certain states has contributed to this view that marijuana use is “safe.” Coalitions and staff at Helping Services for Northeast Iowa are working to educate youth and the community on marijuana and to spark conversations about healthy decision-making.

Marijuana today is not the same marijuana that was around in the 60’s and 70’s. Today’s marijuana

In a superhero pose, with hands on hips, she says, ‘I heard someone is not having a very good day.’ It was then I knew it was my superhero nurse, Angie. She gave me a shot of laughter and saved the day.”

contains much higher levels of THC, the chemical component that makes people “feel high.” But this high does not come risk-free. According to the American Psychological Society, heavy marijuana use in adolescence and early adulthood is linked to “poor school performance, higher dropout rates, increased welfare dependence, greater unemployment, and lower life satisfaction.”

Adolescence is a critical period of brain development. Many studies show the negative impact marijuana use has on the developing brain.

Regular use (more than once a week) actually changes the structure of the brain and impacts critical areas, such as those dealing with memory and problem-solving. A 25 year study, done by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, also shows that using marijuana at a young age can lead to an average loss of 8 IQ points.

This means a person could go from having superior intelligence to average, or from average intelligence to low intelligence.

It is important to educate youth on what marijuana does to their brain and health along with the social and legal implications. On a survey taken in 2014, 54% of Iowa 11th graders believed there was only slight to no risk of harm to themselves if they smoked marijuana regularly. 39% also said it would be easy or very easy to obtain marijuana.

To help educate youth and the community on the health harms and implications of marijuana and other drugs you can become involved in your local substance abuse coalitions. To find out when your county coalition meets contact Jen Kimber at (563) 387-1720 or visit http://www.helpingservices.org/ about/substance-abuse-prevention/ and look up your county. All are welcome to attend.
