POSTVILLE

(Editor’s Note: October has been designated as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Each year thousands of families lose their precious babies to miscarriage, birth trauma and other complications of birth. Annette Frey and Natalie Barria have agreed to share their stories with our readers in hopes that others who have gone through this trauma might ﬁnd comfort.) Like most little girls I grew up wanting to marry my “prince” and have a family. That dream came true when I met my future husband Larry Frey and we were married. We both wanted children, but really hadn’t decided on when. We always had a reason not to start: we couldn’t afford it or we weren’t ready, etc. After losing a family friend suddenly we decided why wait, life is too short. Getting pregnant wasn’t any problem. With it being my ﬁrst, I wasn’t sure what to expect and what was “normal”. Morning sickness soon followed and the excitement that my husband and I were going to be parents set in. As the pregnancy went along and my belly grew, I worried about what if something goes wrong. You hear the upsetting stories of women having complications during pregnancy and losing their child. I kept thinking what if that was me, what would I do? My monthly doctor’s appointments went well. I shared my thoughts with my husband, and like the good husband he is, told me not to

worry, everything would be okay. I am a worrier by nature so I tried to subdue the feelings I had that something wasn’t right with this pregnancy, chalking it up to nerves. In the final couple months of my pregnancy I took a fall on the ice. At first, I was scared to say anything for fear I had done something to hurt the baby When my senses came back to me, I called the doctor’s office and asked for their recommendation. Of course, they said I needed to come in to see them so they could check for themselves. The baby’s heartbeat was strong, but I said I hadn’t really felt any movement. Honestly, given it was my first pregnancy I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this scrunched up thing inside of me. The doctor ordered a nonstress test and for the first time I felt really scared! During a pregnancy non-stress test, the baby’s heart rate is monitored to see how it responds to the movements it makes. I remember the nurse telling me when the baby’s heartbeat was going up that I should be feeling the kicks. That wasn’t happening, I wasn’t feeling its kicks, but I was so afraid something was wrong

that I would say sure I felt one. In my heart I knew something wasn’t right, but my mind kept telling me I was worrying too much. The “big” day finally arrived; Larry and I were going to finally meet our precious baby and I was going to be a mommy like I had dreamed about when I was a little girl. As the day went on and labor progressed this baby seemed to be really stubborn. The heartbeat fluctuated from time to time, but not something the nurse would get excited about. The doctor would come in to see how I was doing and didn’t seem too concerned either. Then the nightmare began. At some point in the day the baby’s heartbeat really started taking a drastic drop and the doctors and nurses went back and forth with Larry and I about what our options were if the heartbeat should continue to drop. We made the choice to continue with a vaginal delivery and not have a C-section.

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 third of a three-part series. The reactor was originally covered with a conﬁnement sarcophagus which was hastily built of steel and concrete. It was only meant to last 30 years. This past April marked 30 years and they are still awaiting the completion of the new safe conﬁnement structure. Numerous countries have donated money for it’s completion. Much better in design, the structure looks like a large, steel, curved airplane hanger and is being built on wheels on rail tracks. It’s being constructed 590 feet West of the reactor and when completed, will simply be rolled over the current sarcophagus, thereby enclosing the entire site. Since the reactor is still emitting radiation, it’s best not to work immediately over the structure, hence the reason it’s being built hundreds of feet away. When complete the new structure is designed to contain the radioactive remains of Chernobyl for the next 100 years. At which point, it will be

someone else’s duty to confine the site. Completion of the project is scheduled for the end of 2017. After hearing these sober and quite frankly terrifying facts, we all walked in silence. As if it weren’t bad enough, we then learned that immediately following the explosion, the Soviet Union initially concealed the seriousness of the situation. It wasn’t until 48 hours later when clouds filled with radioactive particles wafted North with the wind, that Swedish scientists detected it and notified the world. Russia finally admitted it was from Chernobyl. A full two days had transpired before they evacuated the population of Pripyet. Many have suffered the long-term effects of radiationrelated illnesses such as cancer, especially thyroid. Miscarriages as well as birth defects multiplied. I discovered the struggle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and at a cost so great, it was one of the leading contributors to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The cost was a whopping 18 billion rubbles, which at the time was one to one with the U.S. dollar. This was in 1986 currency.

SEE CHERNOBYL, 8

Looking back, I really wished we would have made a different choice, but I’m not sure the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. After a few more hours of hard labor our baby boy Brady Cameron came into this world on March 13, 2003. Something inside of me knew instantly things weren’t right when the baby didn’t cry. I remember the nurse who was with me at the time telling me everything was okay

that the doctors were working on him. Larry was telling me things were going to be all right as well. The only thing I could think about was the baby wasn’t crying; things weren’t all right. Our beautiful baby boy was in serious trouble and there was nothing we could do about it.

SEE INFANT LOSS, 8

Natalie (Schultz) Barria also lost her precious son at birth. A 2003 graduate of Postville High School, Natalie has also agreed to share her story with our readers.

NATALIE BARRIA PHS 2003

I am sharing my story in order to help others who have experienced infant loss. I had a very normal pregnancy through the spring of 2006 and was scheduled for a C-Section because of my diabetes. Generally, when you have diabetes you have bigger babies and for that reason a C-Section is advised. I had an ultrasound about a week before I delivered which was approximately one month before I was due. My son, Mateo, was measuring at a ‘normal’ level for his gestational period. I went into labor on a Friday morning in May of 2006 and headed to LaCrosse where I was scheduled to deliver because of being high risk. I had a very easy labor process and did not have any extreme pain. I did not need any pain medication or an epidural. I was in labor all day Friday and into Saturday night. At about 10 p.m. on Saturday night, I was ready to push. I was having a natural birth and the doctor who was assisting with the delivery ﬁnally determined that Mateo was too big to deliver naturally and I had to have an emergency C-Section. They wheeled me into the operating room and the last thing I remember was counting backwards from 100. I think I made it to 97 before I was completely out. When I woke up later that night, I vaguely remember my grandma, my sister, and my ex-husband, Mateo’s dad, being there. My mom had been with me the entire time. My sister was the one who told that Mateo had been without oxygen for too long and there was nothing they could do to save him. Right after that I fell asleep and I did not wake up until the next day. This is when I realized my baby boy was really gone. Mateo had been partially delivered naturally and started breathing and when they had to do the C-Section he was without oxygen too long. Although the hurt never goes away, having my family and friends there for me during this horrible time helped me cope with the reality of losing my baby boy. I also got amazing gifts from Gundersen Lutheran in LaCrosse as I received a full hand and foot cast of Mateo as well as photos and many other things to remember him by. They gave us as much time as we needed to say our good-byes to our son. I think it is so very important for the public to know that infant loss is VERY real. I feel like it has been hidden for a very long time and has always been something you ‘just don’t talk about’, But, I want other women who are experiencing the same type of loss to know my story and that they are not alone in this journey. With the love and support of those around you, you can move on from a difﬁcult experience. If you have experienced infant or pregnancy loss, please share your story. Many times people don’t realize how many people have suffered this loss. It is healing to share.

Wonder Is the Beginning of Wisdom

St. Bernard Plato and Aristotle both claimed that philosophy (i.e., the love of wisdom) begins in wonder. We can wonder about the world around us (for instance, the starry sky above us) and we can also wonder about our inner selves (for instance, the moral law within us), and we often have occasion to wonder about both of these aspects of our world. Does the moral law within us come ultimately from the starry heavens above us, via God? On a more mundane level, it is cause for wonder that some people are naturally curious and filled with wonder all the time, while others don’t seem to be curious about anything. Most of us, however, fall somewhere in the middle, our wonder waxing and waning like our other moods. If wonder is a mood, like being happy or sad, then perhaps it can be cultivated, just as our other moods can. A good way to cultivate wonder is to spend some time being silent. Having the television or radio on all the time is one way to ignore ourselves; it’s hard to hear our inner voice if there is constant noise. A related way in which we drown our sense of wonder is by shunning solitude. Always being with others is a way to avoid truly being with ourselves and with the physical world. Silence and solitude are true friends of wonder. – Christopher Simon

Infant loss from front

sorry they were and truly understood the grief we were experiencing, after all it was still very raw for them as well. They were complete strangers to us, but in that moment we never felt more connected to them. They told us to call anytime and so I immediately picked up the phone. By the end of the conversation with Jennifer, I felt a glimmer of hope. I felt like life would go on. It sucked at the moment, but I needed to just keep going. After that I started to feel better. I had asked my doctor for an antidepressant to help get through the next few months and it seemed to be working. I felt like I could at least function without totally breaking down. Throughout this whole process we were still looking for answers as to why this happened. When the autopsy report came back on Brady Cameron it was revealed his lungs were full of infection, due to contracting Group B Streptococcus or Strep B, from me. Group B Strep isn’t from the same bacteria as Group A Strep, which causes a sore throat. Group B Strep is a bacteria present in the intestinal tract and can colonize in the vagina and rectum area. If a woman tests positive for Group B strep during pregnancy then the protocol is to treat her with IV antibiotics during labor. Unfortunately in our case, labor was too late and Brady’s lungs were full of infection by the time he was born. Honestly having the answers as to why this happened made us feel better to some degree, however, we still didn’t have that baby we both

wanted so badly. We were told to wait six months before we tried again for another child, giving my body a chance to heal. The only thing I could focus on was having a baby. That was what was going to truly heal me emotionally. Over the course of several months of trying and let downs, even to the point where Larry and I were showing our frustrations with each other, a miracle happened and we were pregnant. This pregnancy was not without its own share of worry. Because we lost Brady at the end of the pregnancy, we spent the next nine months of this pregnancy not knowing what the outcome would be. Would we finally get our happy ending and have a beautiful baby to bring home? A baby that is born after the loss of a pregnancy or an infant is called a rainbow baby. Our Rainbow Baby came into this world on August 27, 2004 and we named her Emily Kameryn after her brother. Hearing her first cry was the most beautiful sound we could have imagined. We both started to cry because of what gift we had just been given and remembering what we had lost. We also were blessed with another beautiful gift from God, Katelyn Bradee on June 20, 2006. Both of our girls share part of their brother’s name. Through the heartache we finally had been given what we wanted most, a family of our own. It has been very important for us to continue to keep him alive in their hearts and ours as well. My brother-in-law had taken of picture

After a day spent in numerous buildings and streets and taking in all these facts, we went to our hotel in Chernobyl. None of us spoke much on the drive. We arrived to a very basic building with one dinning area where we all sat together and ate. We were told to not to leave the hotel and no one did. Bright the next morning we all met for breakfast and were

While Sabrina stood almost 1,000 feet away she snapped this photo of reactor number 4. PHOTO PROVIDED BY SABRINA SWENSON

picked up shortly thereafter for the continuation of our tour. We saw a memorial dedicated to the first responders, all who died fairly soon after the disaster. For lunch we actually went to reactor number 4, although we were almost 1,000 feet away. We got to eat with the plant workers at their cantina. A machine to detect radiation was required to step into before we were allowed in the cantina. You would step into it and put your hands and feet on the designated spot. It would then give a reading. If it was acceptable, you were allowed in. If not, you were decontaminated. Luckily, we all made it in with no problem. The cantina was cafeteria style and we walked through the line to gather our food. Workers at the plant are still needed to maintain the reactor. As such, locals are paid high wages to work there. They work for two weeks and then must leave the area for two weeks, thereby limiting their exposure. We ate our lunch, which was shipped in from

After the two most educational and simultaniously creepy days I’ve ever experienced on Earth, I climbed into the van and headed back to Kiev. I learned that inside Chernobyl there is 100 kilograms of plutonium. By comparison, 1 microgram is a lethal dose for humans. That’s enough to poison 100 million people. The halflife, the time it takes for half the atoms of the element to decay, is 245,000 years. If those facts don’t scare people about the awesome (scary) power of nuclear energy and radioactivity let loose, I don’t know what will! It may seem like a strange place to visit, however, Chernobyl was definitely an education. Hopefully nothing like this will ever happen again. In the meantime, what’s left of reactor number 4 remains decaying under a disintegrating sarcophagus reminding us of the true nature of nuclear energy in human hands. Quite frankly, I think it’s terrifying!

Kiev, and headed off to one of the cooling towers. The cooling tower for reactor numbers 5 and 6 had never been completed. It was almost finished when the disaster struck. We got out of our van and walked to the base. We easily entered it from the side and found ourselves inside the massive tower. As it was just the 30th anniversary of the disaster, a local artist was allowed to draw a sketch as a memorial inside the tower. We walked around a bit, but didn’t stay long as there were a few areas with high radiation.

After two hours of the medical team working on our son, Larry and I made the decision to let him go. He wasn’t able to take a breath, they were keeping his heart beating through CPR; the doctors felt there wasn’t anything more they could do. To say our world came crashing down is an understatement. One of things I remember most from that night is the nurse placing Brady Cameron in Larry’s arms and the both of us just sobbing. Our family was changed forever. The joy of being parents was turned into sorrow and a loss so deep words couldn’t express it. The next few days were a blur. Larry and I asked ourselves why us, how does something like this happen? I kept thinking about my beautiful baby boy and what I possibly could have done differently, after all it was my body that was supposed to have kept him safe. I felt like I had really let everyone down. Here we were a young couple planning a funeral for our son. Larry and I struggled to make sense of everything. At the wake people offered their condolences, and we were overwhelmed by the support from everyone, but was tested. I believed in God and trusted that God did things for a reason, but at that moment I couldn’t really understand what His reason was. Why did we have to go through this hell? I went into a deep depression and found myself not wanting to get up in the morning or be part of the real world. There were too many reminders of what I had lost and seeing others with their babies just made me sadder. I think the mornings were the hardest because I knew that would be the time of day Brady would be getting up, playing, cooing, talking, doing all the things new babies were supposed to do. One time, Larry took me out for the night, hoping to make me feel better and wanting to get some “normalcy” back in our lives again. Unfortunately the place we went there was a young mother there with her baby showing it off to friends. I immediately started to cry and wanted to go home so I could just crawl back into my “hole” and not come out again. I sank deeper into depression. Then one day a lifeline came in the mail in the form of a personal letter from a couple, Jennifer and Tom, who had just lost their child three months before we did. They expressed how deeply

of Brady in his casket, wearing the outfit he was supposed to come home from the hospital in. It took over a year after his death before I could look at it or even hang the picture on the wall, but his picture now hangs right in the middle of his two sisters’ pictures. Each year on his “Angel Day”, and I say that because I truly believe he is an angel watching over us, we try to remember Brady Cameron in some special way: I sponsor bulletins and flowers for my church around the time of his “Angel Day” using an angel vase that I bought a few years ago; on Christmas we put up a tree and ornaments just for him. My hope is that the girls will continue the traditions when I can longer do it. Over time the wounds haven’t really healed, the pain is always there. I have just found ways to cope with it. I cherish each moment I have with my girls and can’t imagine what it would be like if I were to lose them. I have often wondered if it would be worse to lose a child you never had a chance to know or a child that you had gotten to know and love, and then taken away from you. I pray to God I never experience the latter. I thank God that he sent Jennifer and Tom into our lives when He felt we needed it. He also sent my dear friend Peggy to me. She had experienced her own loss of a child several years before we had, and knew exactly what I was feeling. Our friendship grew from that bond and continues today. I continue to believe that God sends us on a journey or a path for a reason. We may question it, but we have to trust that He knows what He is doing. Losing a child no matter what age sucks and is hell, but it is possible to survive the grief and move on from it. When I think about it, I know how special is it to be the mom and dad of an angel!

Letter to the Editor

Volleyball season ends with regional tournament loss

We thank the Fire Departments, EMS and Ambulance Volunteers Dear Editor, We the residents of Northeast Iowa appreciate our fire fighters and medical personnel who volunteer to protect, save and heal us. Numerous men and women out of their generosity donate their time to train, go to school and regularly update their skills as fire fighters and medical personnel. Your value to our communities cannot be measured, however during the

month of October you appear in our local newspapers in front of your equipment for all to see and take note of your importance to our communities. During that time many local departments do tours of their fire houses and ambulance garages to show our school children their vehicles, equipment and teach them the proper procedures to make contact in emergency situations. We know that we are not alone in wanting to thank all of you

and show our appreciation for all you do. Because we are some of the many who rely on volunteers, and know their commitment to community projects, we felt compelled to write this letter and publicly thank all of you for your commitment in protecting our towns and citizens in Northeast Iowa. Sincerely, John and Mary Fran Nikolai Elkader, Iowa

Herald Sports The Lady Pirates volleyball team competed in the regional tournament on their home court last Tuesday night. They faced their long-time rivals, the Bulldogs of MFL MarMac, and would come up short as they lost in three sets. The Lady Pirates played tough in the first set as they were within three points as they fell by a score of 25-22.

She wants to change the influence that the master matrix system has on CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) so that they cannot overburden our air and water quality. She wants to work to build a better future for all of northeast Iowa’s families and children. Jan grew up in rural Kansas with small-town Midwestern roots and values. She is a social worker, working specifically in the areas of mental health and disabilities. She has worked within the northeast multi-county area with county supervisors, state agencies and funding streams to bring costeffective help to northeast Iowans.

The final Pirate Petey football contest of the season is now in the books as the nine week contest coincides with the regular high school schedule. Coming in first this week was Nick Zieman who was the only entrant to miss just three games. His misses were BCLUW over MFL MarMac, Wisconsin over Iowa and Colorado over Stanford. Nick earned $15 Postville Bucks for first place.

Rose Harberts and Bill Harris both had four misses and the exact same tie-breaker. In order to break the tie, a coin was flipped at the Herald. After the toss, Harberts was second and Harris was third. Rose’s misses were BCLUW over MFL MarMac, Wisconsin over Iowa, Postville over Alburnett and Cedar Rapids Washington over Waterloo West. Rose gets $10 Pirate Bucks for second place. Harris’s errors were Clayton

Some time ago I received a letter saying that tags, necessary for appliances and TVs to be picked up at curb-side, are too expensive. I agree, the City doesn’t make any profit selling tags. We checked with neighboring towns and some have made arrangements with individuals who may be at capacity, but we will check it out. We will also seek other solutions. Sidewalks and driveways are progressing slowly. New piping is complete on the first block of Post Street and next July the rest of Post Street, piping and street surfaces will be completed. The fireman are considering a new tanker with help from the City and rural district. In November we will receive open bids for the Wastewater Treatment Facility improvement that is required by the DNR and EPA. We are estimating the cost at $5 million. The City will borrow from the State Revolving Fund; use the CDBG Grant of $500,000 we received plus the monthly surcharge you are now paying on your water and sewer bill. The county has completed resurfacing the highway northeast from the City limits to Cherry Valley. NEIT of Monona is busy installing fiber optics throughout Postville for TV, telephone and internet. Blacktopping in northeast Postville was postponed until next spring due to the contractors overload caused by flood damage. Alleys will be one of the next big projects. A lot of good things are happening in Postville. The City is getting close to turning the General Fund from the red into the black. We have two new workers in training, to continue the good service given by present employees who are planning to retire.

Jaleasah Hendry was 8-9 and had two perfect ace serves. Mucia was 6-6 and also served an ace. Defensively, Hendry had six digs and Perez and Smith added three a piece. Berger also did well with two digs. With the loss the girls ended their season while MFL MarMac was scheduled to move on and play in the next round Monday evening at South Winn.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor,

The other two sets were dominated by the Bulldogs as they won 25-7 and 25-14. Selena Perez led the team in kills with four and Tierney Bodley added two. Alivia Berger, Kelsey Mucia, Victoria Nelson and Peyton Smith each added a kill as well. Mucia also had three assists in the match. Sierra Gonzalez was the top server as she went 11-11 and had one ace serve.

Emma Heins, a sophomore at Postville High School and the daughter of Gina and Dalana Heins, is this week’s Pirate of the Week. Heins was nominated by her Speech Coach Derek Friederich and Family Consumer Science / Football Cheerleader Coach Kayla Rupard. Coach Friederich said, “Heins has shown great leadership as we have been practicing our one-act play that we will be performing at Dordt College Emma Heins in November. Due to the cast’s busy schedule, we do not get in a lot of rehearsals, but Heins is great about attending practice and making the most of the time we have. She has been outstanding behind the scenes, keeping her cast mates focused. On stage, Heins strives to give the best performance she can and works to get the same from her fellow actors. I am very proud of all that Emma does for our Speech team!” Rupard added, “Heins is being recognized this week for her ability and willingness to lead others. She is the only returner for football cheerleading and has been a great leader by setting an example for the other girls to work hard. Her leadership skills are also being shown in her Food and Fit Initiative (FFI) involvement. One group within the FFI is FEEST. Emma was selected to serve as one of the two FEEST interns this year and has already begun planning and preparing for the FEEST events, which happen about once a month. Cross-Age teaching is another subgroup of FFI that she is excelling in. Over the training session on Tuesday she showed great leadership skills by leading by example for the rest of the students. Keep up the good work Emma.” Emma is also involved in volleyball and a member of student ambassadors.

Pirates end season with 14-6 win at Alburnett with touchdowns by Jacobson and Marroquin CHAD DRAHN

HERALD SPORTS The Pirates ended their season at Alburnett Friday night and finally picked up a win against their final foe of the season. Although these young men have fought hard each and every week, sometimes battling injuries and lack of size, they continued to come up short until this final road trip 78 miles south to Alburnett. With it being a game of turnovers, and both teams struggling, it was good to see Postville come away with the 14-6 victory. The first quarter saw both teams struggling to move the ball. As a result of turnovers and traded punts the score at the end of the first 15 minutes was knotted at 0-0. In the second quarter, Owen Jacobson intercepted an Alburnett pass which would lead to a Pirate score. The Postville eleven would put together some solid plays to move to the opponents ten yard line. Quarterback Jacob Steffans hit Jacobson in the corner of the endzone for the first Pirate touchdown. Uvaldo Camarillo, the accurate Postville kicker, added the extra point. At this point the score was 7-0 in favor of the Pirates. The Pirates threatened again later in the second quarter but an Alburnett interception ended the drive. As the halftime gun sounded the Pirates were holding on by a slim 7-0 margin.

The second half would be more of the same as both Alburnett and the Pirates struggled on offense. Because of this, the Pirates seemed to be at a constant disadvantage when it came to field position. Alburnett would score in the third period as their quarterback hit his received for a 21 touchdown catch in the endzone. The two point conversion failed and the Pirates held on to a 7-6 lead at the end of three quarters of play. The young Pirates adjusted their offensive set as the fourth quarter opened as they went into the I formation. They used a power running game to control the clock and move the football down the field. Marroquin was able to break loose around the right side as he ran 28 yards toward the goal line and scored the Pirates second touchdown of the night. Camarillo’s magic toe again connected for the extra point and the Pirates had a 14-6 lead with minutes left in the game. Alburnett was unable to move the ball when they had a chance and were forced to punt. Unfortunately, Postville couldn’t get a first down and they were forced to punt the ball right back to the home team. Willy Martinez’s punt was long and deep as he pinned Alburnett inside their own five yard line. They were able to move the ball out to the 24 yard line before Martinez

intercepted a pass to seal the deal for the victorious Postville Pirates. Quarterback Steffans took a knee and the Pirates would come home with a 14-6 win to end the season on a happy note. Statistics: Jacob Steffans 11-28 152 1 TD 3 INTS Owen Jacobson 5 receptions 67 yards 1 TD Elfego Marroquin 17 carries 63 yards 1 TD After the game Coach Luke Steege said, “It was a very strange night. There were lots of turnovers and missed opportunities by both teams. But, these young men fought through the adversity and were able to come out on top. The kids did a nice job on defense. We held Alburnett to under 200 yards of offense and only 63 yards rushing. Mac Hughes was outstanding on the defensive side of the ball all night. We waited a while for this feeling. Hopefully, this will help us as we go into the off season and look to next fall.” He concluded by saying, “Special thanks to Sue and Barry Mueller for the team dinner after the game and thanks to Stephanie Spain for the awesome team dinner prior to Parents’ Night. I also want to thank the chain gang, announcer Larry Moore, and the entire staff at the Herald for all you do for Postville High School. “
