Zimmerman appreciates the support City Council discusses fire/safety violations of staff and administration as she at former REC building on West Greene Street SHARON DRAHN begins teaching in Postville A bid of $1,675 to repair a curb/ violations which have already HERALD EDITOR SHARON DRAHN HERALD EDITOR

Doreen Zimmerman has joined the faculty of John R. Mott High School as the high school science teacher. She said, “I teach exploratory health, anatomy, physiology, biology, environmental science and health. About her first impressions of the district and the community, Doreen said, “My first impression of Postville was a positive one. I sense a real passion for student success here. In addition, the support that I have been offered as a new teacher by other teachers and the administration has been phenomenal. I have felt welcomed into the community.” As a new teacher to the district, Zimmerman hopes to build relationships with the students and to share with them her interest in science. She said, “I hope they will develop an interest of their own in science. My desire is for the students to be successful and to understand the joys and benefits of being a life-long learner.” A 2015 graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Doreen describes her leisure time interests like this, “In my spare time I like to hang out with my family and take long walks in nature. I also enjoy my pet cats and my dog.” She added, “I have a large, beautiful and amazing family that includes eight children, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law and three beautiful grandchildren. My

The Postville City Council was addressed by Keith Koch, architect, who represents Bais Sholom concerning the code violations being corrected at the facility formerly known as the REC building. It was noted that the ﬁre marshal has been at the building, which is now housing a Jewish dormitory/kitchen, citing several violations. Koch noted that they had been informed that Upper Explorerland was to perform an inspection on September 22 as he asked for an extension. He said, “Electrical work has been completed and we are working on making all the necessary changes as the kitchen and dorms are modernized and completed.” He also asked that the State Fire Marshal sign off on any

been completed in order to save a portion of the inspection cost. Along with the State Fire Marshal, the State Food Inspector has also already approved several modiﬁcations as well. Those changes that have not already been approved will be inspected by Upper Explorerland in midOctober. Mr. Gavriel Levin, a member of Bais Sholom, also discussed the issue with the Council and asked that they deal more directly with him when there are issues. He did not dispute the inspection costs but wanted it known that he was disappointed at the way it was handled. It was noted that no bids were received for the 1973 pumper truck that the city is selling. After a motion, it was decided to take the pumper to Sweeney Auction Service.

storm sewer on North Boody and Stoneman Streets was accepted. It was explained that this repair is of immediate importance. An ordinance relating to the operation of snowmobiles, golf carts, all terrain vehicles on City Streets was approved. The vehicles will be allowed on speciﬁc routes and will need to be registered with Allamakee County. The Child Care Fire Alarm panel was discussed. Discussion was held as to whether the entire system needed to be replaced or if replacing the panel would be sufﬁcient. Council person Ross Malcom made a motion directing City Clerk Darcy Radloff to get another bid on the panel system. The motion further directed her to accept the lowest bid and to go ahead and schedule the repair as needed.

Pastor Lynn Noel is the new pastor at St. Paul Lutheran, Postville SHARON DRAHN HERALD EDITOR

Pastor Lynn Noel and his wife, Jane, have recently settled into the parsonage at St. Paul Lutheran Church and the community of Postville, as Pastor Lynn accepted a call as the pastor of St. Paul this summer. Prior to coming to Postville Pastor Lynn and Jane lived in Thompson, Iowa where he served congregations in Thompson and Lakota in Western Iowa. Rev. Noel, who grew up in Greene, Iowa, took the nontraditional path to the pulpit. When he and Jane were married 25 years ago, they had no idea what was in store for them. Pastor Noel said, “I spent many years in livestock management. In rural Humbolt County I managed a 1,500 sow facility. After several years, I was tired of that lifestyle and I felt called to the ministry.” He went on, “I told Jane that I needed a change and I was going back to school.” Asked how she reacted to her husband’s desire to become a minister she said, “I wasn’t really surprised. I had always known that it was his dream to be a pastor. He had some family member who were in the ministry and his church was always a very important part of his life.” While Jane worked as a nurse, Pastor Lynn received training so that he could ﬁrst become a lay minister. As a lay minister the family, including son, Aaron and daughter, Jenna were able to live in a churchprovided parsonage. While working as a lay minister, Pastor Noel received his undergraduate degree from Waldorf College. He said, “I received my undergraduate degree in business/ ﬁnance with a minor in religion.” Seminary studies would see Pastor Noel commuting from Renwick to Dubuque each week as he studied for the ministry at Wartburg Seminary. He completed his degree in 2012.

He said, “The congregations at Renwick and Our Savior in Humbolt will always be near and dear to our hearts. They paid for my tuition and books and gas. Without their support this journey would have been much more difﬁcult.” Following graduation he served as an interim pastor at several parishes, including rural Clarinda and Stanton. He was also an interim at Glenwood in Council Bluffs. He commented, “Our son, Aaron graduated from Stanton High School. It was a nice community and he really enjoyed the school and

activities, including football.” Having been ordained in 2013, he was called to be the pastor at Bethany in Thompson and St. Paul in Lakota. He said, “It was during this time that Jane stayed in Stanton for several months to continue to work at the Stanton Care Center as Aaron ﬁnished his senior year of high school.” Asked about his time at Thompson and Lakota, Pastor Lynn commented, “It was the ﬁrst time either congregation had shared a pastor. It was a time of healing for Bethany as the congregation had

gone through a split and they needed to work at loving again. Lakota, on the other hand, is a congregation made up of mostly senior citizens. I had 50 funerals during the time I was there.” Having dealt with much loss and grief between the two parishes which were 20 miles apart, Pastor Noel said, “I think we were able to build relationships between the people in both churches. With the hard work of many, we were able to set the foundation for healing and build a foundation for an interim pastor to step in.” With his name having been submitted from the Bishop in the Western district to Bishop Steven Ullestad of the Northeast Iowa Synod, Pastor Noel became a candidate for the vacancy at St. Paul. After both he and Jane visited Postville and interviewed with the call committee, they were immediately impressed. He said, “The hospitality we were shown made us feel comfortable and at ease at once. They showed us around the church, the community and the school district. I think both Jane and I felt a bond to this community and St. Paul from the beginning.” As they settle into a routine in Postville, Pastor Noel says he has many hopes and dreams for St. Paul Lutheran. He said, “It didn’t take me long to ﬁgure out that there are many hard-working dedicated people in the church. I also see many opportunities with the diversity.” He went on, “This is a much larger congregation that I am used to. I will have to work on delegating responsibility. All of our lives are pressed for time with family, jobs and school activities. But we must remember to be Christ-centered as we interact with people.” “Diversity, too,” He said, “Is a big issue. It is important how we interact with people of different faiths. We must be respectful of their beliefs even in our disagreements.”

Twenty-one badges are required and he has earned 35. Isaac said, “I cherish being an Eagle Scout and it is one of the biggest opportunities in the world. You become changed. A belief that everyone is someone. The Boy Scout oath is a promise to do your best giving 100%. It is the best experience.” He encouraged parents to get their boys involved in scouts. The Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared. The opening ceremony was by the Senior Patrol and the welcome by the scoutmaster of Troop 388. The Flag Ceremony and the presentation of colors were by Troop 388. Everyone present at the ceremony recited the Pledge of Allegiance; Vision, Candle Lighting and Scout Oath Ceremony. Three candles were lit representing a scout’s duty to God and country, duty to others and duty to self. Twelve additional candles were lit by scouts from the troop. The candles stood for: trustworthy, loyal, helpful (doing a good turn for someone every day), friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

Charge and the Eagle Scout Oath. Adults who nurtured Isaac through the years were speakers telling of Isaac’s scout growth. His great uncle Arnold Guyer, a representative of the Heritage Farm Park in Clermont spoke about the history of Isaac’s Eagle project. The school was built in 1891 and closed in 1953 due to consolidation. Isaac’s great-great grandfather Ethan Guyer cut a cord of wood which measures four feet high and eight feet long for $5. This wood fueled the school. His eight children, one of whom was Isaac’s great grandfather Victor Guyer and his seven children, one of whom is Isaac’s grandpa Gerald Guyer and his brothers and sisters attended the school. The ceremony continued with On My Honor, words from a past Eagle Scout given by Isaac’s dad, Gaylen Guyer, formerly of Postville. Award pins were given by Eagle Isaac Guyer to his mother and dad and a mentoring pin to his friend Don Uthmeier. Isaac’s parents put the Eagle scarf and Eagle slide around his neck. Isaac then commenced to tell how Boy Scouts inﬂuenced him. He told about his Eagle Project which was having his troop 388 help scrape and paint the 125 year old school house May 22-25 and May 29-31 at Heritage Farm Park. The school called Riverside #2 is one of many historical sites on the grounds. The troop and their parents camped on the grounds enjoying T. J. Pizza, pop and just having fun appreciating one another’s companionship. Isaac thanked everyone for sharing this great day with him. He also thanked his family and fellow scouts for getting him to the great journey from Cub Scouts through Boys Scouts and to his Eagle Scout. The program closed with the color guard, the Scout Salute and retirement of colors, prayer and a reception. Special guests were Isaac’s parents Gaylen and Kitty Guyer, his brothers Jacob, Samuel, Joshua and sister, Mariah of Stratford, Wis. His great aunts sand great uncles Leslie and Sally Guyer and Arnold and Deborah Guyer of Clermont and his grandparents, Gerald and Vada Guyer of Postville.

Sarah Nelson. Upon graduating from Postville High School in 1944, he enlisted in the US Navy and served as a radio man on the USS Shields for two years during WWII. After returning home, Ed attended Iowa State University where he obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering and met Arlet, his would-be wife of 68 years. He often told the story of how he ﬁrst met Arlet while inquiring about a “For Rent” sign in the window of her parent’s boarding house in Ames, Iowa. He describes seeing “the most fantastic pair of legs he had ever laid eyes on” walking down the stairs. He knew right then that not only did he need to rent a room in this house, but that this woman was meant to be his wife. Ed and Arlet later adopted two girls: Kimberly Kay and Kara Lyn. Ed spent 19 years working for Collins Radio in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In 1972, he relocated his family to Scottsdale, Ariz. where he worked with Motorola’s Government Electronics Division until he retired 17 years later. He will be remembered as a loyal servant of God, a lover of his church and family, a consummate perfectionist, a collector of pens and obscure items, a connoisseur of hot coffee, a sports fanatic, an eternal optimist, and an all-around wonderful man who everyone was privileged to know. Edgar is preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Sarah, and brother, Francis. He is survived by his devoted wife, Arlet; daughters, Kimberly and Kara; and four grandsons: Alan (Jessica), Adam (Joe), Ryan (Susan), and Joshua. A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held on September 20, 2016 at 11 a.m. at Grace Community Church in Tempe, Ariz. In lieu of ﬂowers, please make a donation on Ed’s behalf to either the Cancer Research Institute or the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund.

For Erik Sessions and Sara Peterson, who raise vegetables at Patchwork Green Farm near Decorah, their packhouse and root cellar are key pieces of their farm infrastructure. The packhouse is where harvested produce is staged, sorted, washed and packed before heading to market, while the root cellar lets them store and sell certain crops for an extended time. Both facilities play a big role in their farm’s efficiency and overall income – and to maintaining their standard of “selling vegetables that are exceptionally clean, neatly packed or bunched, appropriately chilled or cured, and taste wonderful.” After dreaming for 15 years about a better packing facility and root cellar, they have finally upgraded both. While they are still figuring out how to best use these new facilities, they are already noticing many benefits of the improved designs. “Upgrading our packhouse from a gravel floor to a concrete slab is a huge improvement,” Erik says. “It’s easier to wash, there are no weeds, it’s always level and is much more sanitary. The building itself is bug- and mouse-proof for worryfree storage, and is a good place to keep tomatoes, garlic and crops that shouldn’t get too cold. “Our root cellar is insulated concrete construction, with a washable interior. We installed a Coolbot system to cool it down and maintain temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees in fall and winter. Last winter, we were able to keep potatoes in good, saleable condition until they were sold out in late March.” Erik and Sara will share their experience with designing and using these improved tools at a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day they are hosting Sunday, September 25, from 1-3:30 p.m., near Decorah (3031 Middle Hesper Rd., about 6 miles north of town). The event – “Packhouse Tour and Harvest Efficiency” – is free to attend, and will feature hearty snacks after the

Low People in High Places "Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited." Romans 12: 16 NIV A person’s position in society or in an organization doesn’t always correlate with his or her moral stature. The CEO of the company is sometimes a jerk while the cleaning lady or the guy who runs the mailroom may be the nicest person you’d ever meet. The ambition which it takes to get to high places may induce some people to cut corners or treat others poorly, whereas the person who does the so-called “menial” work may realize that she serves others and thus act accordingly. There is a spiritual lesson here which it behooves us to pay attention to. That is, we should be willing to do menial work and also be willing to associate with “lowly” people. People who work in the caring professions (doctors, nurses, teachers and social workers, among others) know that everyone has their cross to bear, and even the lowliest among us have a story to tell. So take time to hear their story and don’t be afraid to associate with the lowly. Angels have been known to come among us in the form of wayfaring strangers. – Christopher Simon

Northeast Iowa barns on tour; Iowa Barn Foundation All-State Barn Tour, September 24-25, 2016 Self-Guided Tour, 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Historic restored barns, throughout Iowa, will be opened to the public during the Iowa Barn Foundations tree, self-guided, allstate barn tour Saturday, September 24 and Sunday, September 25 from 8:30 am. until 5:30 pm. The barns on tour either received matching grants or an “award of distinction” from the Iowa Barn Foundation. The annual tour, which attracts visitors from around the country, is free and opened to the public. The Iowa Barn Foundation, a non-profit group, founded in 1997 by a group of folks with Iowa roots, is dedicated to preserving Iowa’s rural buildings and rural heritage. The tour, an educational component of the foundation, teaches young and old close up about Iowa’s rich agricultural heritage. It renews pride in Iowa’s renowned agricultural heritage. At many stops owners will

discuss the history of their farms and barns. Some of Iowa’s earliest barns will be on tour. For more photos and details about the barns on this tour, and for more about the Iowa Barn Foundation, go to our website, www.iowabarnfoundationorg. If you have specific questions, e-mail Jolene Witt at jowitt@ gmtel.net or Jacqueline Schmeal, jschmeal@earthlink.net.

equalize, and coddle our lives then a much smaller government could make it impossible for terrorists or welfare cheats to survive here. And they would either return home or become contributing members of society. A military that defends our borders instead of the rest of the world could make the border a filter, not a wall that excludes valuable contributors along with the ones we should keep out. It would also keep that military from creating more disasters around the world that come to haunt us later. Build the wall for a bandaid if you’ve given up on our republic. Or eliminate theft from our government’s duties in order to solve domestic problems and keep us safe from invaders. A wall might keep out a few criminals. But our welfare state produces them right here at a much higher rate. Comments on this article are welcome as a letter to the paper or to me at 4selfgovernment@ gmail.com.

Community CPR for child care providers and lay people offered at VMH Veterans Memorial Hospital in cooperation with the American Heart Association is offering a course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation for lay people (those not working in healthcare), which includes child care providers, on Monday, October 3rd, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The CPR class, which will cover adult, child and infant CPR, will be held in the Large Conference Room located on the lower level of the hospital. The cost of the class, for certification or recertification, is $45.00. The card received with the course does certify attendants in CPR for two years. CPR is administered when someone’s breathing, pulse, or both, stop. When both of them stop, the victim has suffered sudden death, which can be caused

by poisoning, drowning, choking, suffocation, electrocution, smoke inhalation, or the most common cause, heart attack. Some five million individuals each year receive CPR training by instructors certified by the American Heart Association. The timely application of CPR has been credited with saving thousands of lives each year in the United States. To prevent a heart attack from occurring, the American Heart Association encourages Americans to control high blood pressure, stop smoking, exercise regularly and follow an eating plan low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Pre-registration is required. For more information and to register, please call Veterans Memorial Hospital at (563) 568-3411.

PIRATE

brought to you by Andrew Moore, Farm Bureau Financial Services

Lindsey davis

Lindsey Davis, a sophomore at Postville High School and the daughter of Derek Davis and Turesa Miller, is this week’s Pirate of the Week. Davis was nominated by Family Consumer Science teacher and Cheerleading Coach, Kayla Rupard. Mrs. Rupard said, “I nominated Davis as Pirate of the Week this week for her outstanding attitude she presents towards any Lindsey Davis task she is faced.” “Lindsey is in my firstperiod class and she demonstrates a strong work ethic when doing assignments and class activities. Her patience is also appreciated when she finishes something ahead of the class and waits for instructions for the next job. She even goes the extra mile to help me with something in the classroom or does extra work to stay engaged.” “In cheerleading her attitude and work ethic are also demonstrated. She shows up to early morning practice with a bright attitude which spreads to the rest of the squad. This is her first year cheerleading and she works hard in and out of practice to learn the cheers. She’s also been showing fearlessness this last week of practice as we have begun learning stunts that require her to be trusting of and encouraging to other squad members as they lift her and toss her in the air.” “Congratulations Lindsey for being our Pirate of the Week and keep up the good attitude and hard work,” stated Rupard. Lindsey also participates in Postville High School choir.

I am constantly bombarded with email forwards about the dastardly deeds and potential dangers of Islamic extremism and other foreign interlopers. A wall on the Mexican border has become the popular solution. This will supposedly protect American workers from the unfair competition of people who want to work hard. And the jihadis will not be able to get through and blow things up. The claim that “illegals” are receiving benefits that should be reserved only for citizens opens up a topic that is largely ignored but the most important of all. It could be argued that non-citizens are less deserving of someone else’s property. I contend that no one is deserving of anyone else’s property. A lot of this discussion is driven by a desire for prosperity and prosperity can only come from the fruits of our labor staying with us. Otherwise, incentive to produce is reduced or eliminated. Socialist governments fail because we can’t fight human nature. The law exists because selfishness

invariably impacts other people who deserve to keep what they’ve earned. To claim that our country is in danger because foreigners can take “our benefits” validates those benefits, and those benefits are more destructive than the invaders themselves. Among the benefits at risk are all the socialistic programs that are dragging this country down. Social Security has replaced a family structure where grandparents cared for the children of their working children. The children later cared for the grandparents. It worked fine. Family has more innate incentive to care for each other than the faceless bureaucracy of government office workers. Gratitude plays a big part as well. Government drinking ages and drug laws have taught us that we are not responsible for our actions. When bad things happen because of drugs or alcohol we first say, “where did they get it” rather than, “how foolish or disrespectful.” This leads to further calls to replace self respect and respect for others with state mandates. State mandates don’t inspire love and respect, they produce defiance, black markets, crime, and skyrocketing costs. If our country’s laws merely protected our property rather than trying (unsuccessfully) to manage, improve, insure, incentivize,

Volunteer Hour Guidelines

Student Council/Class Ofﬁcers 2016-2017

Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity and is intended to promote goodness or improve human quality of life. In return, this activity can produce a feeling of self-worth and respect. Postville High students are encouraged to perform at least 100 hours of community service during their four years of high school. Students who achieve this level of service and submit the appropriate forms will receive a gold service cord when they graduate.

Seniors Aldo Gonzalez - Secretary/Treasurer Mac Hughes Nash Reicks - President Raymond Reinhardt Cole Spain - Vice President Tania Toj

Community service is not a graduation requirement, but it can make a big diﬀerence when students are applying for admission to colleges and trade schools, and for scholarships to pay for higher education. It can also provide excellent work experience for students who will be entering the job market.

Juniors

The purpose of the volunteer program is to provide all high school students the opportunity to have a positive impact on our local community while learning that service to others is an on-going part of life.

Well, the school year is off and running. Every year, it seems like the summers just go faster and faster. Before you know it, the school year is set to begin once again. While many things stay they same, there are some changes that occur that make for an exciting and sometimes an even fun-ﬁlled school year. As it always happens, the school year always seems to start off with a bang. Classes begin along with the homework that inevitably comes with it, the fall sports season adds some excitement to the year, and of course a new group of seniors gets the privilege of sitting in the Mott Lobby to work on “homework.” While many think that the days drag on, we are already into the fourth week of school. Time sure ﬂies when you are having fun!! So far the year is starting off on the right foot, everything is settling into its’ rightful place. So have fun, learn a bunch, and make it a memorable year!

Students may earn a Gold Cord to be worn at graduation, which indicates they community volunteer services during their 4 years at Postville High School. From the time they enter high school until they graduate, students will provide 100 hours of service to earn the cord. Just remember, it is strongly recommended that you turn in your volunteer hours every year. This will help you remember the dates and times, so you are not scrambling for hours as a senior. What qualiﬁes as community service: · Volunteer work at church. (Service trips, only hours of actual volunteer work will be counted.) ·

Volunteer work done during scouting

Volunteer work done for 4-H or other non-school club

· Special events on school premises sponsored by local charities or businesses (ex: blood drives) · Staﬀ supervised voluntary tutoring of other students for which credit is not earned or any other staﬀ supervised voluntary service performed as a member of school.

From pools to ponds Help your family enjoy water safely!

National Education Center for Agricultural Safety to observe National Farm Safety & Health Week The (NECAS) at Northeast Iowa Community College’s (NICC) Peosta campus will be sponsoring webinars in observance of National Farm Safety & Health Week, September 18 – 24. The 2016 theme for National Farm Safety & Health Week is “ Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of.”The webinars scheduled for each day of the week will be available at www.necasag.org, as well as more information and public service announcements related to this year’s theme. This year the NECAS webinars, offered each day at noon, will cover the following themes: Monday - Agrability Tuesday – Health Wednesday - Children’s Day Thursday – Conﬁned Spaces Friday – Underground Utilities NECAS also invites everyone to join them for ‘AgChat’ on Tuesday, September 20, from 7 - 9 p.m. (CST)

The theme “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of ” reminds local and rural communities that agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. and farm injuries and fatalities are preventable through education. The most recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicates that in 2014 farming accounted for 568 fatalities, with an estimated 70,000 injuries. Each year since 1944, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety & Health Week. This recognition has been an annual promotion initiated by the National Safety Council and has been proclaimed as such by each sitting U.S. President since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the ﬁrst document. Over the years, the development and dissemination of National Farm Safety & Health Week materials shifted from the National Safety Council to NECAS. NECAS is the agricultural partner for the National Safety Council and has been serving the agricultural

family and business community since 1997. As we recognize National Farm Safety & Health Week this September, please join us in promoting safe and healthy practices on our farms and ranches across the U.S. and in our neighboring countries as producers enter the harvest season. NECAS welcomes the collaboration and participation of community members in this year’s observance, and would like to thank the Illinois Farm Bureau for its work in developing the “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of” logo this year. For more information, contact: Gloria Reiter, NECAS administrative assistant, at (888) 844-6322, ext. 371, or reiterg@ nicc.edu; or Dan Neenan, NECAS director, at (888) 844-6322, ext. 248, or neenand@nicc.edu. Additional information about NECAS is available at www. necasag.org.

EDUCATION CONTENT SPECIALIST FOR PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE FOUNDATION From May through September, fun family gatherings bring together children for various activities including camping, cookouts, and of course swimming. When the weather gets hot, the perfect place to cool off is a pool, lake or stream. Unfortunately, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among 1 to 4 year olds according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). Many of these drowning deaths and water- related injuries are highest in the warm weather months. On average, 4,900 children ages 15 & under are treated for water-related injuries in hospital’s emergency departments each year. With May serving as National Water Safety Month, this is the perfect time to talk with your children about water safety and

Stay within an arm’s reach of young children while in the water and avoid distractions. • Make sure everyone in your family learns to swim. • Never swim alone – always have a buddy! • Useproperly-fitted personal flotation devices.Always wear life vests when boating. • Obey signs about rules and potential dangers. • Enter the water feet first (one foot at a time) and never dive into shallow water. • Ensure farm ponds are fenced and barriers are in place around

home pools or hot tubs. • Have rescue equipment by the water.If you have a friend out in the water– remember to Reach, Throw, Don’t Go into the water, but Go for Help! Last year, water safety was a lesson offered at 40% of Progressive Agriculture Safety Days® that took place throughout North America. Hands-on activities designed to reinforce water safety is taught using verbal, visual and hands-on learning opportunities. These safety tips are examples of what children & families learn when they attend a Safety Day. To date, more than 1.4 million children & adults have been impacted by a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® in their local community. Learn more about the program at www.progressiveag. org.

Let’s strive to keep children SAFE on the farm and with “A Legacy to be Proud of!” The International Society for Agricultural Safety and Health (ISASH) devotes Wednesday of Farm Safety and Health week to keeping children on farms, ranches and in rural areas safe and healthy. Let’s leave our children with “A Legacy to be Proud of!” Sadly, the statistics are devastating! Every 3 days a child dies and every day 33 children are injured due to agriculturalrelated incidents. Protecting our future generation needs to be a top priority! Following these 3 tips can help protect our future generation of farmers. 1. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) can help prevent health issues in adulthood. • Skin cancer is often linked to severe sunburns and sun exposure during childhood. Provide children with sunscreen and wide brim hats when in the sun. • Encourage use of hearing protection to prevent hearing loss due to exposure to loud noises often found on the farm. 2. Children visiting the farm need protection too. • Non-farm families visiting the farmstead may not understand safe practices regarding animals, chemicals and equipment. Establish and

enforce rules for all visitors to ensure safety and avoid farmrelated incidents. • Supervision is important for all children, but especially for those unfamiliar with farming. • Make the play area more fun than the farmstead. 3. Safety ﬁ rst means safety always and for everyone. • Teach children what to do in the event of a ﬁre, severe weather and other emergency situations. Instruct them on dialing 911 and knowing the physical address of the farm. • Role model safe behavior and do not allow extra riders on tractors and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Never allow children to play in grain bins. • Teach children how to properly use farm equipment before assigning them to any farm task and supervise them especially close when they are new to a task. Wednesday, September 21, 2016 is Farm Safety & Heath Week’s Children and Youth Day Think about the safety and health of your children every week of the year!

For young children that cannot read labels, many products around the home can look like popular candy or drinks. Even products that can be good for you, like vitamins and medicines, can become harmful if you do not follow the label directions. In the U.S., poisoning is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death, and nearly 9 out of 10 poisoning deaths are caused by drugs according to the NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics). In 2012, unintentional poisonings were the leading cause of injury death in the U.S. surpassing motor vehicle crashes. Here are some common poison look-a-likes you may ﬁnd around your home: • Gummy Bears vs. Gummy Vitamins • Chocolate vs. Laxatives • Sports Drinks & Juice vs. Household Cleaners & Mouthwash • Candy vs. Laundry or Dishwasher Pods • Gum vs. Nicotine Gum • Water vs. Bleach or Rubbing Alcohol • Shredded Beef Jerky vs. Chewing Tobacco • Kraft Parmesan Cheese Container vs. Comet Cleanser Container • Toothpaste vs. bath tub caulking • Eye Drops vs. Super Glue Chemical safety is a very popular topic taught at Progressive Agriculture Safety Days® and was offered at 53% of Safety Days last year. During Safety Days,

participants learn they should never touch or put anything in their mouth unless they are positive what it is or unless a trusted adult tells them it is safe. As parents, grandparents and caring adults, it is our responsibility to be proactive in keeping children safe. Be sure to: Label harmful products and place them out of reach of children Avoid moving poisons or chemicals from their original container Lead by example and use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when handling chemicals Keep the telephone number of the Poison Control Center (1-800222-1222) in a place easy to locate in case of an emergency. These chemical safety tips are examples of what children & families learn when they attend a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® offered throughout North America. To date, more than 1.4 million children & adults have been impacted by a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® in their local community. Learn more about the program at www.progressiveag. org

The ability to move over rough terrain with ease has meant that the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) has become as common on farms as the tractor and plow. The ATV is a great away to zoom around on the farm, checking on fields and livestock. However, there are many safety concerns that come with ATVs. There are an average of 700 deaths and 100,000 injuries related to ATV accidents every year, meaning that proper handling and safety can save peoples lives. The best way to ensure that everyone is safe on and around an ATV is to follow some basic rules. -Always wear protection. This includes a helmet, gloves, goggles, long pants and long sleeve shirts. -Stay off of pave roads. Drivers of cars may not be able to slow down in time to avoid an accident. • Only have the driver be on the ATV. This allows for freedom of movement when needed and a passenger should not impair the driver from shifting weight, it needed. • Use ATVs that fit the rider. Anyone under the age of 16 is not supposed to be on an adult model. • No child under the age of 6 should be allowed on ATVs. • Children who want to ride should attend an ATV training school. This will allow them to learn and get taught how to be responsible riders. • Make is sure your ATV is well maintained. High school senior CJ Nagel was riding his dirt bike recently and lost control since the rear tire was balding. He fractured his shoulder after he landed hard on the ground. Although it was a dirt bike and not an ATV, the same principle applies. One of the biggest points about riding an ATV is having a safe mindset. An ATV is not a toy and can have serious ramifications if it is not respected. If an ATV is respected and rode with a safe mindset, then ATVs can be a great tool to work

with and play on. Farm worker health Farmers come in all shapes and sizes, meaning that almost anyone can farm. The problem is when the elderly try to do the same duties that they have been doing for decades. Not only is farm work hard, it is also strenuous on the body. Older farm workers have increased rates of injury to themselves and to others around them. There are many things that factor into aging farmers and accidents. The best way to make sure you are farm healthily is to make frequent visits with your local doctor. Have your eyesight checked out more often. Vision and reaction time are very important when it comes to safe farming. Keeping up with vision changes and glasses prescriptions can save you a lot of hassle. A general doctor check up is always nice too. Make sure your heart can take a long days work. In the heat, the risk of a heart attack increases so make sure that you have a healthy heart. Drinking lots of water and resting is another simple and easy way to prevent accidents. If a farmer gets fatigued, then will have a slower reaction time and will make more mistakes. Take it nice and slow on hot days. There is no reason to rush, because soon you might be getting rushed to a hospital. Finally, and most importantly, know your own limitations. No one wants to admit they are slowing down or getting weaker. There is no shame in admitting you can’t ﬁnish a job or are too tired to continue. Getting old is not fun and admitting that is not easy for some to do. Even a bruised ego is better than someone who pushed themselves too hard and hurt themselves or others.

Pirates put 24 points on the board as Vazquez scores on 75 yard fumble recovery run to the endzone CHAD DRAHN

HERALD SPORTS The Pirates traveled to Arlington to face the Stars of Starmont Friday night and, although they were able to find the endzone several times, they fell short of the win falling 33-24. The Stars scored on their first possession as Noah Fedeler scored on a 42 yard touchdown run. The kick for the extra point went right through the uprights and the score was 7-0 early. At the six minute mark, Starmont scored again as Fedeler scampered 60 yards for the score. The attempted two point conversion failed and the score stood at 12-0. The Pirates got a nice drive going late in the first quarter. The eleven play drive took four minutes as Postville moved inside the Stars 20 yard line. The drive stalled outside the 20 and Uvaldo Camarillo connected on a 28 yard field goal. The score was 14-3 at the end of the first period of play. Camarillo, who is a gifted kicker, was able to connect on his first field goal of the season and give the Pirates some much needed momentum. Starmont put together two more scoring drives in the second quarter as they got touchdowns on a four yard run as well as, a twelve yard run. In the second quarter, the Pirates were forced to make a major adjustment as starting quarterback Jacob Steffans made knee to knee contact with a runner and was forced to the sidelines. In Steffan’s absence, Harrison

Dehning would be forced to fill in at quarterback and the Pirates were unable to put any points on the board before the halftime horn sounded. The score at the half stood at 27-3. Called on to continue to lead the offense, Dehning would see some success in the second half as the young Pirate would lead the team into the endzone. Dehning led the scoring drive in the third quarter as he completed passes to Owen Jacobson and Willy Martinez. Dehning then took the option and ran the ball in from the twelve yard line for the score as he scored his first varsity touchdown. The point after failed and the score was 27-9. The Stars would answer with their final tally of the contest on a ten yard run. The extra point failed and the score was 33-9. Not to be denied, Harrison Dehning again led the Pirates on a scoring drive. Dehning connected with Jacobson on a 60 yard touchdown strike with nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The two point conversion was no good. The Pirates trailed 33-15 at this point. The Pirate defense would also put points on the board late in the fourth quarter. Even though the Stars continued to push the Pirate defense, Pirate Mac Hughes forced a fumble and Antonio Vazquez picked up the loose football taking it 75 yards for the touchdown. This combined effort of the

defense added more points on the board for the visiting Pirates. Dehning then hit Vazquez for the two point conversion. At this point, the Pirates trailed 33-24. The Pirates attempted an on-side kick but were unable to recover the ball and the Stars were able to run out the clock for the 33-24 win. After the game, Coach Luke Steege said, “I thought the team did a great job of never surrendering. They played hard through aches and pains to ﬁnish the game strong. The ﬁrst half was not our best effort, but we made some adjustments and played extremely well in the second half.” He went on, ”Kudos to Harrison Dehning on a great night and to the offensive line that gave him some time to throw the football. Also, our receivers stepped up and worked hard for both quarterbacks. It was nice to see this group not quit but get better as the game progressed. I am very proud of their effort as I hope everyone who follows Pirate football will be.” This week the Pirates travel to North Linn of Coggon. The opening kick will be at 7 p.m. The following week, the Pirates will host East Buchanan for Homecoming. That game also begins at 7 p.m. Hall of Fame inductees will also be introduced.
