NEIT begins installing Fiber Optics network in Postville Area residents have likely noticed the increase in activity in Postville last week, as crews arrived to begin installing a Fiber Optic network for NEIT (Northeast Iowa Telephone). Steven Hanson of NEIT explained, “Central Cable is the contractor that has been commissioned to install the network, for which construction is expected to take six to eight weeks.” “Mainline construction comes first. The mainline cables contain many strands of fiber, and each one of those has a final destination at a home or business to deliver service. The mainline cables will be directionally bored in public right-of-ways, usually alleys where possible, and pedestals will be set along those routes for the “drops”, or last section of fiber optic cable, to connect the homes and businesses to that mainline network,” said Steve Hanson, Director of Business Development for NEIT. Directional boring, it was explained, is a method that crews use to disturb the ground the least amount possible. Boring equipment enters on one end of a cable run and exits the other end, sometimes

blocks away. The cable or conduit is then pulled backwards through the hole that the equipment made. Along the way, crews must locate existing buried cable, sewer, natural gas and other utilities and direct the new cable around them. Hanson noted, locating those other utilities can be difficult, but Central Cable has deployed vacuum trucks that can remove soils in very specific spots to find and help navigate underground. The fiber drops that are installed from the right-of-way to each customer are typically installed with a vibratory plow, which cuts a small trench and pulls the cable or conduit in along the way. That trench is small enough it closes up on its own without any extra restoration work. Hanson added, “Some of the equipment that the crews will be using will be loud and may disrupt traffic, so we appreciate everyone’s patience through this process. We’re very grateful to the City and residents for their support. The response has been overwhelming.” Once construction is completed, NEIT’s technicians will begin installing the internet, television and telephone services to customers who signed up prior to construction. Installations will be completed as quickly as possible to get Postville’s residents and businesses operating on the network. NEIT has served Northeast Iowa with communication services since 1903. The company’s services also include local and long distance telephone service, business phone systems, and computer/network sales, installation and repair. For questions about the Postville fiber network or for more information about the company, visit their website at www.neitel.com or call their office in Monona at (563) 5392122.

The site of the world’s worst nuclear power plant accident in history, catastrophic in nature. I remember the day well. It was April 26, 1986 and I was a senior in high school. Government and Sociology teacher Mr. Otte came into the classroom and asked if anyone knew what had happened that day. In my small, childhood town in Iowa, we had no idea. I had never heard of Chernobyl in the then Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of the

Soviet Union. It seemed as far away as the moon. Who knew 30 years later I would visit the site. A visit to Chernobyl, located in present day Ukraine, Eastern Europe, takes a bit of planning. You are simply not allowed to just wander into the area on your own. You must sign up for a tour a minimum of ten days in advance, which is required due to a mandatory background check. I couldn’t imagine why a background check was necessary, however, found out later that apparently if you’re looking to build a dirty bomb, Chernobyl would have the radioactive material necessary. Having seen the place, however, I can’t imagine how you could ever get close enough to swipe some.

Fire Prevention Week is October 9-15; see special section inside today’s paper Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on October 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on October 9, 1871. According to popular legend, the fire broke out after a cow - belonging to Mrs. Catherine O’Leary - kicked over a lamp, setting first the barn, then the whole city on fire. Chances are you’ve heard some version of this story yourself; people have been blaming the Great Chicago Fire on the cow and Mrs. O’Leary, for more than 130 years. But recent research by Chicago historian Robert Cromie has helped to debunk this version of events. Like any good story, the ‘case of the cow’ has some truth to it. The great fire almost certainly started near the barn where Mrs. O’Leary kept her five milking cows. But there is no proof that O’Leary was in the barn when the fire broke out - or that a jumpy cow sparked the blaze. Mrs. O’Leary herself swore that she’d been in bed early that night, and that the cows were also tucked in for the evening. But if a cow wasn’t to blame for the huge fire, what was? Over the years, journalists and historians

have offered plenty of theories. Some blamed the blaze on a couple of neighborhood boys who were near the barn sneaking cigarettes. Others believed that a neighbor of the O’Leary’s may have started the fire. Some people have speculated that a fiery meteorite may have fallen to earth on October 8, starting several fires that day - in Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as in Chicago. The biggest blaze that week While the Great Chicago Fire was the best-known blaze to start during this fiery two-day stretch, it wasn’t the biggest. That distinction goes to the Peshtigo Fire, the most devastating forest fire in American history. The fire, which also occurred on October 8th, 1871, and roared through Northeast Wisconsin, burning down 16 towns, killing 1,152 people, and scorching 1.2 million acres before it ended. Historical accounts of the fire say that the blaze began when several railroad workers clearing land for tracks unintentionally started a brush fire. Before long, the fast-moving flames were whipping through the area ‘like a tornado,’ some survivors said. It was the small town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin that suffered the worst damage. Within an hour, the entire town had been destroyed.

Nine decades of fire prevention Those who survived the Chicago and Peshtigo fires never forgot what they’d been through; both blazes produced countless tales of bravery and heroism. But the fires also changed the way that firefighters and public officials thought about fire safety. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America (today known as the International Fire Marshals Association), decided that the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire should henceforth be observed not with festivities, but in a way that would keep the public informed about the importance of fire prevention. The commemoration grew incrementally official over the years. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation, and since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the Sunday through Saturday period in which October 9 falls. According to the National Archives and Records Administration’s Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. The President of the United States has signed a proclamation proclaiming a national observance during that week every year since 1925.

The Luana City Council held its regular monthly meeting October 6. A snow removal letter will be sent with all water bills in October as a reminder to citizens to remove snow and ice on their sidewalks this winter. Council members approved a building permit for a ramp located at 305 Truman Street. The Council designated the Luana Savings Bank as the depository for public funds belonging to City of Luana and approved a resolution establishing a policy governing the investments of city funds. Councilperson Radloff-Schneider motioned to have a checking account and two certificates of deposit that had been held under the Luana Fire Department’s name and control now be moved over to the City of Luana and their TIN for the City

Wheels for Work Program graduates another participant Commuting to work for about a year without a car was challenging for Oelwein resident Ashley Kisner – until she heard about the Wheels for Work program sponsored by EARL Public Transit, a program of Northeast Iowa Community Action. “It was easier to get to work, easier to take mom to appointments; it made life easier. Period,” Kisner said. The Wheels for Work program is a 0% interest car loan program for income-eligible employed individuals and families living in Allamakee, Bremer, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette, Howard, and Winneshiek counties in Iowa. The funding for this program had been initially provided to Northeast Iowa Community Action Corp (NEICAC) by the Iowa Dept. of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration through a Job Access Reverse Commute grant, but is now self-sufficient.

EARL Public Transit works with eligible applicants to find a high quality affordable used vehicle and contracts to loan that participant money to purchase the vehicle. The program has a financial education component as part of the loan application process. Kisner is the fourth person to complete the program since it began in 2013. “It’s great that they offer people a chance. They’re here to help people get a reliable car,” Kisner said. The Wheels for Work program is now a self-sustaining means of strengthening families and communities toward lifelong success by enabling participants to get to work in a dependable vehicle. Interested people are encouraged to call Northeast Iowa Community Action at 563-387-4930 to determine eligibility.

Overcoming Fear "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." Psalm 55:22 NIV There are many things to be legitimately afraid of. We live in a world which can be dangerous, and while we don’t normally prey on our neighbors, we all know that our worst enemies are often members of our own species. The Latin proverb “Homo homini lupus est” expresses this by saying that “man is a wolf to man.” Fear is certainly a useful tool for keeping us alive in a world full of both natural and manmade perils. A modicum of fear or anxiety can serve as an alarm bell that something or someone is worth avoiding. But fear and anxiety can become the things to fear and the real danger to avoid. Anxiety can cease to be the useful alarm that warns us to pay attention and become perpetual fear or fear that is so paralyzing that we can’t live a normal life. On the other hand, in our “macho” culture, it can be almost shameful for a man to admit that he is afraid, and many men don’t even have the words to adequately express their fears or anxieties. They become paralyzed and mute in the face of their fears. We would do well to remember that it is alright to be afraid, and that it sometimes helps to communicate our fears to friends and family, or trusted advisors. And who better to trust in times of fear than God. You just might find that in the very act of voicing your fears, the fears dissolve. – Christopher Simon

Protect infants with a “cocoon” of vaccinated caregivers Adult vaccinations are important to protect newborns Infants are the group at highest risk of being hospitalized and dying from influenza and whooping cough, yet they are too young to be fully immunized against these serious diseases. As families prepare for a new child by readying a crib and installing a baby car seat, they should also make sure everyone who will be caring for that child is fully vaccinated against both the flu and whooping cough. Those needing to be immunized include mom and dad, siblings, and other caregivers like grandparents and baby sitters. “About 75 percent of the time in Iowa, infants with whooping cough got the disease from a family member with the disease,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “Anyone who

will be in frequent contact with the baby, including mom and dad, siblings, and other caregivers like grandparents and babysitters need to be vaccinated. ‘Cocooning’ the baby with healthy people will prevent the baby from being exposed to the flu and whooping cough.” Both health care providers and new parents should make protecting their baby from vaccinepreventable diseases a priority. During prenatal visits, as well as after delivery, health care providers should check to ensure that all family members and potential care givers are vaccinated. New parents should insist that all those caring for their baby – parents, grandparents, siblings, baby sitters, day care providers – are all fully immunized before they are allowed to care for the child. With winter nearly here, now is the perfect time to check the immunization status for all those who are already or will be around babies this winter. Adults need to

receive a Tdap (the adult tetanus booster that contains pertussis –whooping cough) and a seasonal influenza vaccination. When family members and care givers get vaccinated, they are not only protecting their own health; they are also providing important protection for the very vulnerable baby. These immunizations, plus the seasonal flu and pneumonia vaccinations, are available at the Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care office each Wednesday afternoon. The immunization clinics are offered the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m., and all other Wednesdays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Community and Home Care is located on the upper level of Veterans Memorial Hospital. For more information, please call Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care at 5685660.

‘Transfer of Memory’

Art exhibit on display at Luther College Oct. 21-Dec. 5 When memorializing a horrific event in history, it is often difficult to see beyond the defining darkness and tragedy. Yet it is often within the context of intensely difficult circumstances that the true strength, resilience and beauty of the human spirit can be seen. “Transfer of Memory,” a touring exhibit consisting of photographs and stories by Minnesota Holocaust survivors, will be on display, Oct. 21-Dec. 5, in the Center for Faith and Life Gallery on the Luther Campus. The exhibit is open to the public with no charge for admission. Luther College will be the first Iowa site to host “Transfer of Memory.” The exhibition, brought to Luther College by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, has appeared in colleges, churches

and public venues throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin since 2012. Photographer David Sherman, writer Lili Chester and curators Laura Zelle and Susie Greenberg designed the exhibit to focus on the stories and dreams of each survivor. Sherman’s portraits of Holocaust survivors are colorful and bright, often taken in the home of the individual. Chester’s words, paired with each portrait, draw from interviews with each subject, telling stories of both tragedy and hope. Sherman’s aim in this project was to create dignified, colorful and beautiful memorials, each story a reminder of “the value of freedom and the enduring human spirit.” The exhibit bears witness to the experience of Midwestern Holocaust survivors, allowing viewers to experience the humanity

behind each memory. “Transfer of Memory” coincides with Luther College Center Stage Series event, “Judgment at Nuremberg.” This radio theaterstyle production brings to life the 1940s Nuremberg Trials, Americanlead tribunals formed to prosecute war criminals for their roles in the Holocaust. L.A. Theatre Works brings their performance to Luther College at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3 in the Center for Faith and Life Main Hall. Tickets available at tickets.luther.edu. A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,150, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs. For more information about Luther visit the college’s website: http://www. luther.edu.

payroll clerk, look into what other counties use. Beyer updated the Supervisors on the lease extension for Old Sidwell plat books. Attorney Dick White recommends a 10-year extension at no cost if Palmer is willing to store them. Beyer will have Attorney White draw up the lease extension for approval. Beyer updated the Supervisors on the mental health board listed on the draft of the Board Appointment Policy. Beyer received response from some counties stating this is now a board that is appointed by the mental health regions and not by the Supervisors, so this board will be removed from the draft and Beyer will present the policy for approval at a future meeting. Corey Snitker asked Supervisors if someone would attend the November 3 Northeast Iowa Response Group meeting in his place at 10:00 in Waterloo at the Regional training center. Snitker will be at another training in Des Moines. Koenig will plan to attend. Snitker discussed the option to have a small fund set aside when a county disaster is declared – to help with immediate needs such as dumpsters, sand and sand bags, etc., and asked if it could be coordinated with other jurisdictions.

Fire Prevention Week

FFA Events

During the week of October 10-14, the Postville Community Schools will be observing Fire Prevention Week. The students will practice fire drills and learn about the firefighters that risk their lives to help out our own community. Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless and destroyed more than 17,400 structures. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation. This year’s theme for fire prevention week is “Prevent Kitchen Fires.” According to the NFPA, two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen—more than any other place in the home. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire-related injuries. Here are a few safety tips to help you and your family prevent kitchen fires.

Cheering on the Pirates

-Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food. -If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove.

Senior Cole Spain has been showing his leadership skills in FFA this year. Cole was elected as a District Oﬃcer for the Northeast District. As a District Oﬃcer, Cole attends meetings to discuss district events and plan activities for all Northeast Iowa FFA chapters. Congratulations Cole!

-When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you. -If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove.

Letter to Editor Dear Editor, Jan Heikes, Candidate for the State Senate, is worthy of your vote. As a social worker, Jan has committed her life to serving others. She has been a strong advocate for people with disabilities, our senior citizens and individuals with mental health issues. Always persistent and hard working, you can trust Jan to listen, to be your voice, and to work with both Democrats and Republicans in order to serve you, her constituents. “People first” has been the creed Jan has lived by. We need Jan Heikes to represent us in the Iowa State Senate. Karen Pratte Waterville, Iowa

Letter to the Editor

Vote ‘no’ on Iowa Supreme Court Justices Dear Editor, I’m writing to encourage your readers to vote “no” on Iowa Supreme Court Justices Cady, Hecht and Appel, who are up for retention on the November 8 ballot. They have acted outside of the constitutional bounds of their position. In 2009, they conspired to usurp the authority of the legislature by imposing same sex marriage on our state. Hecht and Appel continue to abuse their authority, as well as, Justice Cady who wrote the Varnum ruling. When the Iowa Board of Medicine

banned telemedice abortions because it is medically unsafe, Justices Cady, Hecht and Appel overruled them. Our legislative and executive branches have failed to keep the judicial branch in check. It’s up to “we the people” to restrain them and send a message to the other branches of government that we do not want justices legislating from the bench. Sincerely, Gale D. Severson Strawberry Point, Iowa

Veterans Memorial Hospital Radiology Department offers late afternoon appointments for mammograms October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Radiology Department at Veterans Memorial Hospital has extended hours into the evening to allow for more mammogram appointments to be scheduled after work, making the option of mammography more accessible. Mammography (an x-ray picture of the breast) is the single most effective method to detect breast changes that may be cancer, long before physical symptoms can be seen or felt. Early detection, followed by up-to-date treatment, provides women with better chances for long-term freedom from the disease. But mammography screening must be done routinely. As women age, their risk of breast cancer increases. For most women, high-quality mammography screening should begin at the age of 40. As risk factors vary in everyone, the exact frequency of screening should be determined by each woman and her doctor. In addition to mammography, health care providers should also examine a woman’s breasts (clinical breast examination) as part of regular routine health care to search for any abnormalities that may be missed by mammography. And the practice of monthly breast self- examination

Dear Editor, I’m struggling this election season to keep a positive spirit. Politicians have decided campaigns are won by trashing one’s opponent rather than practical proposals. This seems less so for local contests where we know the candidates personally. For me that seems a happier place to focus my patriotism. However, even here I get brochures with one side depicting a candidate in glorious smiling Technicolor, flags waving in the background. On the opposite side the opponent’s picture in sour macabre smudged grays complete with nasty warnings. If you get one of those

I was 10 years old and under the covers with my transistor radio; my folks thought I was asleep. When they looked, they saw a lump under those covers but I was really at the game. Vin Scully had taken me there. Vinny’s retirement makes us remember all he has done for us. Transistor radios filled in the blanks at the game and away. When TV went digital a few years ago we decided we’d had enough. We’d planned our lives around getting in for the news and sat like zombies through hours of trash in order to see a couple minutes of TV worth watching. TV was worse than shaving or smoking; eliminate a lifetime of it and we could be happy and productive for another ten or twenty years. Instead of being mesmerized a la George Orwell, we worked, looked at birds, read, talked to each other; stuff like that. Now the TVs are smaller, and everywhere. Out in public we see people dining together looking at their “devices.” Is Big Brother in there commanding them to believe... “War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

campaign advertisements beware. If you believe either side you are being manipulated. Often such brochures are produced by a state party or some political action special interest group. This might urge you to vote the maligned candidate as having the most integrity. This year I know one candidate personally. Jan Heikes is an active member of the church I pastored. She is a positive, regular, faithful, responsible community spirit builder. As mental health coordinator for Winneshiek and Allamakee counties she once called me to ask if I could help her by being a conservator for a man whose life was ruined with alcoholism. I managed his finances

and provided support several years in a care facility. Later I called Jan with a case of a paraplegic, mentally handicapped woman. She helped me find a satisfactory and practical solution. In both cases I supervised these folks with no charge to tax payers. Jan knew public and private resources and cared for the people of Northeastern Iowa bringing them together for the benefit of all. If Jan Heikes is elected to represent Senate district 28 we will all experience the worth of her compassion, practical organization and wisdom. That gives me hope. Rev. James Dale United Methodist minister Decorah, Iowa

Ignorance is strength.” ? Now we are thinking of getting a TV antenna, for baseball. Upon moving to Iowa I adopted the Cubs as my team because I root for the underdog, Chicago has blues, and it’s close. Now the Cubs are on a tear and the Dodgers aren’t bad. I continue to think baseball represents life better than any sport. Pick a reason, but I think it is because there is no clock, there are limitless opportunities for those with ambition, and no one to blame but yourself. I’ve read several articles about Vinny lately that mentioned the transistor radio, after years of believing I was the only one. Could it be that all those sleepy students were pretending to be asleep so they could listen to the Dodger game? Sorta illustrates the value of revisionist history, doesn’t it? Scully is the only living man I’ve known longer than my barber. He started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. He moved with them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1957. He will call his last game Sunday afternoon with perennial rival, the Giants, who moved from New York to San Francisco that same year. Can you imagine having the same job for 67 years? Do you think Vin Scully always had everything fall into place for a perfect job? No. But he made

it right for himself and we all profited from his effort to please himself through his job to bring this game to our ears. He stuck with it for 67 years. Thank you, Mr. Scully. The recent death of superstar prospect, Jose Fernandez, makes it all the more moving that Vinny has given so much and also that so much is at stake. Fernandez defected from communist Cuba on his third try. He saved his mother’s life when she fell off the boat. He was jailed after his first two attempted flights to freedom. Another player sparked a parting commentary this year by Vin Scully, as a tiny rebuke to the leftist drivel coming from most other celebrities. Hernan Perez was up to bat for the Brewers (love that name). Scully mused of how Perez might think of the conditions he faces here compared to his home in Venezuela: “Socialism failing to work as it always does, this time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello. Anyway, Oh and Two.” Any comments on these articles are welcome through a letter to the paper or to 4selfgovernment@ gmail.com. My blog might interest you as well: www. alternativebyfritz.com

I was given authorization for the tour a few days later and shortly thereafter was on a flight headed to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. I caught the train into the city center where Independence Square resides and couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. It took me by surprise as having been to numerous post-Soviet states, I had low expectations for the beauty of the place. Most, with their ugly Soviet block style buildings were eye sores. Kiev, however, delighted. It had beautiful statues and fountains, a gold onion-domed church that was simply magnificent and a street fest carried on with live music and street food. It was also very inexpensive. With the current conflict over the Crimea region between Ukraine and big brother Russia, both wanting the gorgeous island of land in Ukraines South for their own, the economy is not doing well. I picked a hotel right at Independence Square as this is where we were to meet the following morning. I had some street food, listened to some music and called it a night. Early the next morning I stepped out of my hotel. Dressed in the required long pants and long sleeve shirt, closed shoes and with strict instructions not to touch anything at Chernobyl, I headed to the pick up point. My only directions where to meet in front of a certain hotel on the square. I showed up to find two young Finish guys milling about and discovered they were headed to Chernobyl as well. Eventually there were more 20-something Finish, English and Welch guys who arrived all awaiting the trip. There were eight guys in total and me, the only women and at least a few decades older. I wondered why in the world these young men had a fascination with an event that happened before they were even born. Our guide showed up and he too, was in his 20’s. We had roll call and he then proceeded to hand out geiger counters. Geiger counters are used for measuring ionizing radiation. In wide use it’s used as a hand-held radiation survey instrument. With our new toys in hand, we climbed into the van and headed North. On the 85 mile, two hour drive

we watched a documentary on the disaster that happened on that Spring day, so many years before. We pulled up to a huge military check point that marked the entry to the Chernobyl area. Security was strict and no one was allowed through without the proper paperwork. We all had to get out of the van and wait some time while our guide had us processed. We were eventually cleared and drove on through checkpoint Dytiatky and into the Chernobyl exclusion zone. We arrived into the town of Pripyat, which was built speciﬁcally to serve the workers of the nuclear power plant. Located under two miles from the plant, at the time of the disaster, it’s population was over 49,000. If ever there was a ghost town, Pripyat is it. We got out of the bus and started to walk the empty, apocalyptic-looking streets. Hastily abandoned buildings are now in ruins after years of total neglect. Many windows are broken out allowing the elements in. Paint

is chipping and the foliage has run amuck. After the disaster all trees and bushes were bulldozed, however 30 years later Mother Nature has prevailed and grown back full, green and lush. While taking in this hardto-believe scene, our guide told us that in recent years some of Pripyat’s buildings had started to collapse. We were standing directly in front of one as he stated the government now officially bans all entry to the buildings of Pripyat. But, he said, we’d be going in anyway! We entered our first building, that of an apartment and climbed the first of many staircases. Obviously, with no power in the city, no elevators were working. As such, we headed up the first of numerous flights, stopping periodically to peer into many of the apartments, which were once someones home. All the apartment buildings we entered had rooftops that were accessible and upon reaching the top, you were able to see how close the nuclear power plant was to Pripyat.

Pirates fall to ranked Lisbon in district action at home Volleyball team hosts Starmont chad drahn

herald sports Last Friday night the Pirates hosted the Lisbon Lions on the Postville home turf for Parents’ Night. Although they continue to show signs of improvement, the home team remained win-less as they fell 39-15 to a top-ten ranked team in Class A. Lisbon started the scoring as the Lions took their opening possession in for a touchdown. The extra point was no good and the score stood at 6-0 in favor of the visitors. When the Pirates were unable to make any headway, Lisbon would again have a chance to move the ball down the field. Lisbon’s second drive took them to the one yard line. The drive was stopped short of the goal line where Francisco De La Rosa forced a fumble and the loose ball was recovered by the Pirates to stop the Lisbon drive. Unfortunately, the home team was unable to capitalize on the Lion mistake as they would eventually have to turn the ball back over to the aggressive Lions. The teams would exchange turnovers when Lisbon intercepted a Jacob Steffans pass which would lead to another score. The interception was returned 16 yards into the endzone for their second touchdown. Another failed extra point saw the score stand at 12-0 in favor of

the visitors. Not to be denied, the Pirates, too, would work their way into the endzone before the first quarter ended. The Pirates answered when Steffans hit Wilmer Marroquin on a quick post route for a 63 yard touchdown. The Pirate’s accurate kicker, Uvaldo Camarillo added the extra point and the score would be 12-7 with minimal time left in the first quarter. With the quarter winding down, Lisbon would add a third score on a 50 yard run. The extra point was good adding to their score. At the end of the first quarter of play the score would be 19-7 The teams would trade turnovers in the second quarter. A highlight of the quarter would be the Pirates’ defensive stand inside the ten yard line which stopped the Lions from scoring on a fourth down play. Yet, Postville was unable to turn this positive into a momentum swing when they fumbled and Lisbon was once again in control of the offense. The Lions grabbed the football inside the 15 yard line which would lead to the only score of the second quarter. As the teams left the field at halftime to prepare their second half strategies, the score stood at 26-7. During the third quarter, the Pirate offense was seeing some

success moving the ball down the field. As had happened earlier in the game, fumbles were the home team’s nemesis and kept them off the scoreboard. Lisbon, once again, was quick to take advantage of the fumble as they drove down the field and added yet another touchdown to their side of the scoreboard. The quarter ended with the score 32-7. Lisbon would add a final score in the fourth quarter when they crossed the endzone on a short run. A successful extra point gave them a 39-7 advantage. The Pirates would muster one more scoring drive before the final gun sounded. They used a good running attack and some short passes to move the ball to the Lion three yard line. Steffans would take the option and carry to the endzone for the touchdown. However, the extra point was no good making the score 39-13 in favor of the Lions. An excellent kick-off by Uvaldo Camarillo would pin the Lions at their own two yard line. The Pirate defensive line led by De La Rosa and Cole Spain was able to sack the quarterback in the endzone for a safety. The safety netted the Pirates two points as the game came to a close. Although the final score was 3915, a 24 point difference, the Pirates continued to show improvement. Following the game, Head Coach Luke Steege said, “I felt we made some progress again this week. The running game showed some signs of life and our kids played hard the entire contest.” He added, “We had far too many turnovers, but we also caused some turnovers on defense. I think we can use many of the positives that came out of this game to build on for the final two weeks and also into our off season preparation. There were many bright spots even in the loss. Lisbon is ranked 9th in class A and I felt we played them very tough” This week the Pirates travel to Wapsie Valley for a 7 p.m. kick-off.
