Jackie Lechtenberg is 25 year breast cancer survivor SHARON DRAHN HERALD EDITOR

Jackie & Ron Lechtenberg

Although breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer to affect women, it most often strikes women in middle age. This, however, was not the case for Postville’s Jackie Lechtenberg. A 25 year cancer survivor, she discovered a lump in her breast when she was in her early thirties. She explains her story like this, “I went to the doctor for my yearly exam and shared my concern with the doctor. Due to my age, he told me it was nothing to worry about as he was sure it was not cancer.” On his advice Jackie said she ignored the lump, but it was always in the back of her mind. A year later when she went back for another exam the lump was still there and her physician, again, told her not to worry. But, she was worried as she had heard so many stories about the devastation of breast cancer. She commented, “I just felt that something was not right. I pretty much insisted that it be removed so the doctor agreed to schedule the surgery even though he said he didn’t feel it was necessary. My instinct told me it needed to be removed. I had the surgery in 1992 at Winneshiek Medical Center in Decorah and it was a good thing I did.”

Longtime businessman Hall Roberts passes away at home

An area surgeon, Dr. Callahan performed Jackie’s surgery and when he removed the lump, it was obvious that it was cancerous. At that point, she explained, they went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Although lumpectomys were not very common in the early 90’s, that is the route Lechtenberg took. She said, “Even though it was a fairly new procedure, after hearing the pros and cons, it was one I wanted to try.” As part of the procedure, Jackie explained, they went back into the site and cleaned it out and then they also took 25 lymph nodes from under her arm to make sure the disease had not spread. She said, “I was very fortunate that all nodes came back clean even though the lump had been there for over a year.” At this time it was still advised that she have radiation and chemo to make sure the cancer did not return. It was a very busy time for Jackie, her husband, Ron, and their teenage kids, Jason and Kiley, but they were able to keep up with all their school and farm obligations while she made daily trips to Rochester. She said, “I had my cancer diagnosis shortly after Ron had testicular cancer. I knew we had to be strong and keep going.

Long time Postville philanthropist and businessman, Hall M. Roberts, 89, died last Tuesday, October 11 at his home. Following high school graduation and his graduation from Carleton College in Northﬁeld, Minn., Hall returned to Postville and devoted his life to the family business, Hall Roberts’ Son, which bears the name of his grandfather. Roberts was a veteran of the Korean War as he served in the Army in Europe. He was also a lifelong member of Hall M. Roberts the Community Presbyterian October 5, 1927 Church. October 11, 2016 An avid mentor of area youth, Hall was a skier and cyclist, leading youth on cycling trips across Iowa for many summers. Hall was also very interested in technology and computers as he was one of the ﬁrst in the area to have a home computer system. He loved to play video games with local youth at his home. Hall is survived by nieces, nephews and many friends. Funeral services were held Tuesday at Community Presbyterian Church. Memorial donations in Hall’s honor may be directed to the Hall M. Roberts Christian Leadership Scholarship Fund. A complete obituary of Hall M. Roberts can be found on Page 4 of this week’s Herald.

Sabrina’s Chernobyl tour continues as she steps back in time to the day reactor number 4 exploded Editor’s Note: Sabrina Swenson, a 1986 graduate of Postville High School, is the daughter of Erma Swenson and the late Marlin Swenson. A world traveler, Sabrina is sharing her experiences in Chernobyl, located north of the city of Kiev, Ukraine. Printed below is the second of a three-part series. We headed into a gymnasium at one point and saw a large, empty pool and basketball court. We headed into a kindergarten which was complete with small beds for afternoon naps. Some dolls, their clothes now in rags, had been left on the beds. A hospital we went to had rooms, each identifiable by the items that were left behind. In one room, a gynecologist chair with stirrups sat. In another room, a row of empty, now rusting nursery baby bassinets remained. Building after building there were abandoned chairs, desks and papers often strewn about the rooms. One room in a school had the floor littered with gas masks, apparently left over from the threat of American missiles during the Cold War. Although most buildings had plenty of light, as it was a sunny day, some, like the local jail were totally dark. I walked in and immediately felt the temperature drop. It was completely black inside. I grabbed my flashlight and got a first hand look at former Soviet jail cells. They were quite miserable. Small, dark and dank, there was heavy moisture in the air. They had one small window and not much else. The cells lined both sides of the hallway and I was happy to exit that particular building.

We had our geiger counters with us at all times and usually the reading was normal. Generally up to a .06 micro Sieverts reading is considered naturally occurring in nature. Many items in nature emit some radiation such as marble countertops. We checked our geiger counters before leaving Kiev and had a reading around .06. Most of Pripyat was at or under this

level, however, every once in a while the counter would ﬂy off the charts and start a piercing alarm indicating unsafe levels of radiation were present. This happened once while in the hospital. Our guide showed us how most of the hospital was at safe levels, however, when he moved the counter near a discarded ﬁrst responders head cover, the one used under their helmet, the counter began screaming. When we checked the level, it was 27.5! Way beyond what is considered safe. Thirty years

later and this first responder fire fighters head cover was still highly contaminated. We eventually ended up at the Pripyat amusement park complete with a ferris wheel and bumper cars. All were rusty and covered with foliage. As we walked past the ferris wheel a gigantic structure came into view completely dwarfing us in size. It was the largest antenna I’d ever seen. At almost 500 feet high and 1,640 feet wide, Duga, it’s official name, aka the Russian Woodpecker, was the

Soviet military radar system used as part of the anti-ballistic missile early-warning network. Basically Moscow’s hidden eye used to spot incoming American missiles during the Cold War. The signal Duga made could be heard on short-wave radio bands worldwide from 1976 to 1989 and sounded like a sharp repetitive tapping noise hence the woodpecker dub. America would have loved to have known where this baby was during the Cold War!

HERALD EDITOR

The Postville City Council, meeting in regular session Monday, October 10, heard from Fire Chief Jeff Bohr.

He explained that he would be discussing the issue with the rural board within the week as well. A public hearing was held on a budget amendment which adds $209,000 to the current ﬁscal budget. With no objections, the amendment was adopted. Corey Snitker, Allamakee County Emergency Management Director, introduced himself to the Council.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large 12 inch cast iron skillet, crumble the sausage and sauté until browned through. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt. When the sausage is browned, drain well and then add it to the flour mixture and stir to combine until the sausage is fully coated. Drain any abundance of oil from the pan and then add the beaten eggs into the pan and cook to a soft scramble. Add the scrambled eggs to the flour mixture and stir to combine.

In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt and mix well. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted coconut and the vanilla extract. Reserve the remaining coconut to top the pie. Pour the filling into the pie shell and chill until firm, about 4 hours. Top with whipped topping and with the reserved coconut.

Next, add the cheese and milk. With a spoon, stir the mixture until all the flour is incorporated and a slightly sticky dough forms. With a spoon, floured hands or an ice cream scoop, drop biscuits into the buttered skillet or sheet pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until biscuits are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter. Serve warm.

"Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths." Psalm 25: 4 NIV

the prairie experts

Daily reading of the Bible is a time-honored and valuable tool for spiritual growth. There are systematic ways to do this that involve reading the Bible from cover to cover over the course of a year (and reading just three chapters a day will get you through the Bible in one year). Alternatively, one can choose to read and study one topic or book of the Bible at a time, using study guides or commentaries. There is no single right way to read the Bible, and you will almost always find that you get something new out of each and every reading; the scriptures are an endless source of spiritual wisdom. In whatever fashion you read the scriptures, however, it is important to do so with humility, with an attitude of seeking versus knowing. We should seek God with a humble spirit, realizing that we are all in the position of children trying to find our way in the world. We are, as it were, lost in a strange world, and the Bible reminds us that our true home is elsewhere, and that if we can only follow God’s directions, we can find our way back home. – Christopher Simon

Letter to the Editor

October is National Physical Therapy Month October is National Physical Therapy Month. The Rehabilitation staff at Veterans Memorial Hospital works with people of all ages, helping them to reduce pain and regain strength, independence and health. The Healthy Lifestyles Rehabilitation Center at Veterans Memorial Hospital is fully equipped for all rehabilitation patients with 17 weight machine stations, tread mills, exercise bikes, NuStep and eliptical machines. The 5 private treatment rooms allow oneon-one evaluation and treatment with the therapist. Individual Physical Therapy services provided include athletic training, home health, work hardening/conditioning, wellness programs, headache management, lymphodema therapy, and wound care. Now five physical therapists currently serve Veterans Memorial Hospital and the surrounding community, including Amy Robinson, P.T., Rehabilitation Director; Laurel Hagensick, P.T.; Alana Gavin, D.P.T.; Dana Wells, D.P.T; new physical therapist David Jergenson, D.P.T.; Amy Ghelf, Physical Therapist Assistant; Sara White, Physical Therapist Assistant; Dacia Johnson,

No good choice

I’d hate to own a bumper sticker company right now. “None of the above” just doesn’t cut it when we are struggling to be positive. I’ve shied away from the presidential election in this column because my optimistic side wants to believe it doesn’t matter. If you’ve used my short reading list (The Law, 1850) you’ll know that Frederic Bastiat rightly points out that in a nation with law, elections should be of little consequence because law applied in its proper use restricts government to preserving the rights of individuals as long

Physical Therapist Technician/ Office Manager; and Brad Krambeer, Certified Athletic Trainer. Physical, Occupational and Speech therapies are provided by the Veterans Memorial Hospital staff members in a variety of settings, to people of all ages. They treat those in the hospital who are recovering from an illness, those who are at home yet come into therapy on an outpatient basis, and those who are unable to leave their homes, providing therapy through VMH Community and Home Care. “Traveling the area and treating patients in their homes has been an enjoyable challenge for all of us and very rewarding,” adds Robinson. “We try to go the extra mile for our patients by analyzing their surroundings and making adaptive equipment to help them be more independent while living on their own.” The therapy staff is available from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., providing treatment for patient’s around their busy schedules, saving them the time and effort of driving out of the area for their physical therapy.

as there is no right taken from someone else to that end. All the other functions of society can best be guided by free association in a free market. The reason the presidential election has become so prevalent in the news is because there is so much at stake in this “advance auction sale of stolen goods,” as H.L. Mencken describes elections. People seem flabbergasted that out of 320 million Americans we are now faced with choosing between The Donald and Hill. There are actually 1,910 people (I assume they are people) who have filed with the Federal Election Commission. But the media only sees fit to present two for our perusal. I guess there might be one out of the 1,910 who is literate and would stand by his oath, but with all the loot that’s at stake in this auction there is not much chance we will ever know who

Strong and thoughtful leadership Dear Editor, The future of Iowa depends upon strong and thoughtful leadership at all levels of government. That is why we will be voting for Jan Heikes for Iowa State Senate in November. Jan has a history of working at both local and state levels, especially for those who find that their voices are not often heard. She believes in building community for all and in building communities

that is. Since government has evolved into a force of theft (democracy), the good people have decided to stay out of it. They are productive in the private sector instead of sticking their noses into other peoples’ business. They don’t see a need for forcing people to buy “alternative” energy that the market has determined to be too expensive. They don’t see a need to tell other countries how to run their own affairs and they don’t see a need to tell people here at home how to live their lives either. But politicians truly believe that bureaucrats and committees can manage society better than an aggregate of millions of personal choices. They believe totalitarianism can provide greater prosperity than freedom. That ignorance of economic principles is what drives them to seek public office. And the belief

that productive endeavors further the good things in society better than government edict is what keeps the good people out of the political realm and on the job. I haven’t watched any of the “debates” because my time is too valuable, but the word is that a school yard brawl is more civil and productive and the debates only reflect on the unsuitability of the candidates and the so-called moderators. But maybe these people are exceptionally suited to an office that has evolved from executing constitutionally legislated law to crime boss.

Jan Heikes will make an effective state Senator for Northeast Iowa. Here’s why. I first got to know Jan almost 20 years ago when she was mental health and developmental disabilities (MH/DD) manager for Winneshiek (later Allamakee too) County. I had a similar job in Iowa City and we worked together at regional and state meetings. Jan quickly became the unofficial leader of this group of county MH/ DD officials. We were grappling with complex issues of state and county funding and advocacy for people with disabilities. Jan emerged as someone who would listen for a while to our sometimes heated debates and then would calmly make a suggestion that we hadn’t thought of—a suggestion that got us thinking in a fresh way. She would bring us back together to craft an effective solution that worked for the whole group.

She seemed to have a knack for coming up with creative common sense solutions rather than getting drawn into acrimonious debates. She was consistently able to get us back to thinking about the welfare of all of our clients and all of the counties. People listened when she spoke. Jan used this effective style of common sense problem solving repeatedly in working with Boards of Supervisors and agencies in Northeast Iowa over the years. Jan’s remarkable ability to unite contending factions behind effective solutions that work for the common good of all is sorely needed in our legislature where partisan gridlock is all too frequent. Jan is a professional social worker who has dedicated her life to helping others, to building stronger families and communities. She will bring a breath of fresh air to the political debates in Des Moines. Let’s elect Jan Heikes to the Senate. Craig Mosher Decorah, Iowa

Pre-Employment

Kindergarten Interviews

Last week in Pre-Employment Strategies, the students demonstrated teamwork by completing a building project. Students were given resources with the purpose to complete a vehicle within the class period. Then students shared the features of the “vehicle” and explained the “soft skills” that were utilized during the activity.

SURVIVOR from front We milked cows, we went to the kids’ activities but in this case it just revolved around daily trips for radiation. I was very lucky to have family and friends help with the driving and some days I drove myself. I remained healthy throughout the series of treatments and was lucky I did not get burned.” Following radiation, Jackie, at the recommendation of her doctors, had a series of chemotherapy treatments as well. She said, “As I had the lumpectomy which was a relatively new procedure at the time, the chemo treatments were a way of making sure everything was clear.” At the time she was having the chemo, Lechtenberg had been named the director of the Postville Childcare Center. Therefore, her daily life was even busier as she continued traveling for scheduled chemo treatments. “With the chemo,” she said, “I was more tired but I went to work every day. I had a harder time with the chemo treatments than I did with the radiation. They really wore me out.” Asked if hair loss was a side affect she experienced, she said, “No I didn’t lose my hair. A friend had told me to ask for an ice cap, something I had not heard about before, but it worked. It was basically a stocking cap filled with ice that I wore on my head during the treatments. I’m not sure of the reasoning, but it worked for me .I thought it was worth a try as Ron had lost his hair when he had gone through chemo a year earlier.” Since those treatments over two

A trip to the FFA National Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana was approved as well. Advisor Nick Zuercher and nine students will attend the conference October 18-22. They will share charter bus accommodations with neighboring schools Allowable growth and supplemental aid in the amount of $105,565.77 for a negative special education balance for the 2015-16 school year. A bid submitted by Infrastructure Technology Solutions in the amount of $18,953 for upgrades to the indoor/outdoor cameras and monitors was accepted. These upgrades will cover areas which were previously absent from view. The cost will also cover live monitors in each office for permanent surveillance. Superintendent Tim Dugger reported that preliminary enrollment numbers indicates an increase in enrollment. Brendan Knudtson, junior/senior high principal explained MAP

testing and the ACT report. He also presented information on the Alternative School. Elementary principal Ryan Zurbriggen explained the sixth grade music video. He told the Board the K-4 standard-based report cards will be out this month. A clown incident that occurred during the school day was also explained .

Member of the public are invited to the next meeting of the Allamakee County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee set for Wednesday October 26th in Lansing. The meeting will be at 7:00 pm and will be held in the Kerndt Brothers Community Center (370 Main St.) in downtown Lansing. At the meeting planners will outline the goals of the hazard risk assessment process, and then provide a brief overview of hazards identified by the State of Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan and those that the Allamakee County Emergency Management

Coordinator has identified as impacting Allamakee County in recent years. Meeting attendees will then break into small groups to discuss hazards impacting the county itself and communities throughout the county. The committee will come together at the end of the meeting to come to a consensus on which identified hazards should be profiled in more detail within the updated hazard mitigation plan. For those who would like to learn more about what hazards are currently identified and profiled for Allamakee County please take a look at Section 3: Risk

decades ago, Jackie has been cancer free. She said, “I was diligent about having follow up exams until my oncologist released me just a few years ago. I have also been diligent about my health care regimen. For me it is important to keep my body in alignment.” When thinking back on her experience with breast cancer, Jackie had the following advice for those who have concerns, “If you have a concern or feel that something is not right, be vigilant. Insist that your concerns are addressed. Waiting should not be an option. In my case, if I had not insisted the lump be removed, it is hard to tell what the outcome might have been.” She went on, “If you are diagnosed, remain positive and follow up with the prescribed treatments. Keeping up a normal lifestyle at home was a big positive for me. I remember that I was taking chemo when the Postville football team Jason was on went to the state playoffs. I wasn’t about to miss that. I think we went from Rochester straight to the playoff game.” She added that help from her family and friends was very helpful and advises others to accept whatever support system is available. Most recently, the Lechtenbergs have experienced another bout of cancer as Ron was diagnosed with multiple myeloma within the past several months. He had a stem cell transplant this summer and is recovering at home. Jackie concluded by saying, “We have been affected several times by this disease, yet we continue to be thankful for the treatment and medical breakthroughs that have helped both Ron and I.”

to appear. Once the hole had been plugged, the temperature began to rise. They were afraid the critical temperature could be reached and set off a second explosion. A cement slab beneath the reactor core was heating up and endanger of cracking. Magma was threatening to seep through. The water the fireman poured on the first hours of the disaster had pooled below the slab. If the radioactive magma had made contact with the water, it would have set off a second explosion more devastating than the first. It would have been comparable to an atomic bomb 10 times more powerful than Hiroshima, rendering Europe uninhabitable. Interestingly, this fact was kept from the public for 20 years! At this point they sent in firemen to drain the reactor and seal the breach more effectively. After this they dropped 2,400 tons of lead into the reactor. The temperature went down and the

melted lead sealed the hole. Men also used the cable and pipe tunnels to get close to the reactor. They pierced the shell and put a radioactive detector, thermometer and cameras inside to see what was going on. Magma was still seeping into the sandy sub soil. A huge stretch of aquifer that supplied the entire country with water was being threatened. Miners were sent in to approach the reactor from underground. They dug a tunnel working 24 hours a day and in just over one month had reached the area under the reactor where a large room was built and filled with cement. Meanwhile, above ground, liquidators were put in charge of cleaning up the zone. They went house to house and removed the layer of radioactive dust that covered everything. Contaminated dirt was bulldozed into ditches and covered with cement.

The guide let us climb this huge mesh of steel, but, only up to the 4th level as he didn’t want the guards to see us. Apparently climbing Duga is not allowed. It seemed our young guide was not really into following rules. As we found our way back to the streets of Pripyat our guide told us of the exact events of the day reactor number 4 exploded. The cause of the explosion was human error and violation of procedures. After the security system had been deactivated, a test began. The unsafe reactor design caused instability at low power. When the unscheduled and impromptu test was conducted at low power, the reactor became critical. It was followed by an enormous explosion

the sky contaminating the area. First responder firefighters headed to the reactor to spray it with water to no avail. At the bottom of the destroyed reactor 1,200 tons of white hot magma continued to burn at over 3,000 degrees sending out radiative gas and dust into the atmosphere. Eventually helicopters were dispatched over the reactor to drop 175 pound sandbags into the blaze. Using their bare hands they dropped the bags of sand and boric acid, which neutralizes radiation. Six thousand tons of sand and boric acid were dumped on the reactor. At the bottom, 195 tons of nuclear fuel were still burning, giving off incredible heat that was gradually melting the sand. On the surface of the plug, cracks began

KELSEY MUCIA Kelsey Mucia, a sophomore at Postville High School and the daughter of Janeth and Fransico Mucia, is this week’s Pirate of the Week. Mucia was nominated by her Volleyball Coach Sam Becker. Coach Becker said, “Mucia is a returning letter winner from last year and leads the team Kelsey Mucia in assists. She does a great job of keeping the offense running smoothly. Mucia is a quiet leader, a great team leader as well as a multi-function player. “Kelsey also takes the time to help all teammates out so they can be successful,” concluded Becker. Along with volleyball, Kelsey also participates in basketball, track, soccer, softball, drama, speech, Food & Fitness, and Cross-age Teaching.

Herald Sports The Pirates traveled to Wapsie Valley last Friday night where they faced yet another strong opponent. As the young Postville team continued to struggle, they would end up falling to Wapsie by a score of 49-14. The Warriors would begin the game by scoring early and often as they built a lead that was insurmountable. Wapise Valley used big plays and a short field to get on the scoreboard multiple times in the first quarter. Coach Steege said, “We were unable to slow down their running game and a big pass play at the end of the quarter was too much to overcome.” The Pirates trailed by four touchdowns, 28-0 after the first period. Postville was able to slow down the Warrior offense a little in the second quarter. Yet, a good push from the Wapsie Valley offensive line and some missed tackles by the Pirate defense, allowed the home team Warriors to get two more touchdowns before the halftime horn sounded. This would give Wapsie Valley a 42-0 halftime lead. With the big lead, the clock would run continuously at the beginning of the second half. Ball movement went better for the Pirate offense in the third quarter, however they could not get the ball into the endzone resulting in another empty quarter. Wapsie scored once in the third

period resulting in a 49-0 deficit after three. The Pirates put together two good scoring drives in the fourth quarter. The first drive was led by Willy Martinez’s hard running and some timely passing by Jacob Steffans. Martinez scored on an eight yard run to get the Pirates on the board. Uvaldo Camarillo added the extra point making the score 49-7. The Pirates would add one more score in the final frame as Jacob Steffans connected with Elfego Marroquin on a three yard touchdown pass. Camarillo was again good on the extra point and the final score would stand at 49-14 in favor of Wapsie. Valley. After the game Coach Steege said, “We struggle dealing with Wapsie’s speed. I felt like we did not tackle well during the game. These are things we have worked

on in practice and need to continue to improve on in the future. We did a nice job of taking care of the football during the game and limiting our turnovers. However, we gave the Warriors a short field multiple times and that led to some easy scores. Those mistakes are on us as a coaching staff. We need to work hard this week and hopefully finish the season strong.” Jacob Seffans was 11 for 27 for 127 yards and one interception. Willy Martinez had 13 carries for 70 yards and one touchdown. Elfego Marroquin had 11 carries for 31 yards. Owen Jacobson had 5 receptions for 92 yards. Nick Jacobs had nine tackles including one for a loss. Cole Spain had nine tackles. The Pirates will end their season this Friday night as they travel to Alburnett for a 7 p.m. kick-off.
