SHARON DRAHN HERALD EDITOR

When the Moving Vietnam Wall came to the Clayton County Fairgrounds earlier this year, the sacriﬁces made by many during this conﬂict and other wars throughout the history of the United States was once again brought to the limelight.

Rita Anderson, an avid quilter and retired Postville teacher, wanted to do something special for the veterans while the Wall was in Northeast Iowa. Several months before the Wall came to Clayton County, she became involved with a quilting group in Monona who were making Quilts of Valor by using the National guidelines. During an emotional

ceremony in front of the moving Wall, Rita was able to present four quilts she had made to veterans. She said, “I was proud to present these quilts to members of our family who had served in the military.” Since that time, Rita and several other quilters have been making quilts for Postville area veterans.

Miller had with the manager of Decorah Kawasaki. Miller said, “When I was visiting with the sales manager of Decorah Kawasaki, Nolan Gunderson, I told him about the reading program we had started at school. He was impressed and told me that he learned to read and loved reading because of Hot Rod magazine.” He said, “If a student isn’t really interested in something, then they

don’t want to read, and might learn to hate reading. If you ﬁnd something of interest, then you can fuel the ﬁre for reading and learning.” As they were visiting, Miller told him that she had been scrounging for magazines all over, taking free copies of auto magazines, and trying to gather as much as she could.

Dry Mix • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar, packed • 1 tsp. baking powder • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg • 1/2 tsp. ground clove • 1/8 tsp. salt Wet Mix • 1 cup whole milk • 1 large egg • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly • 1 tsp. vanilla extract Mix-In • 1 cup grated apple • butter or vegetable oil for skillet Vanilla Maple Syrup • about 1/2 cup maple syrup, warmed gently • 1 tsp. vanilla extract or the scrapings of 1 vanilla bean

The family of Harold Kuntz would like to thank the community for the outpouring of support we received with Harold’s passing. We treasure the cards, kind gestures, and comforting words. We especially extend our thanks to Pastor Marshall Hahn for his support, the Marion NALC Women for serving the luncheon and the staff of the Elkader Care Center for the excellent care and kind attention he received during his stay there.

Pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a measuring cup or small bowl, measure out the milk. Add the remaining wet ingredients and beat until combined. All at once, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. The batter should have some small to medium lumps; don’t over mix or try to stir them smooth. Gently fold in the grated apple. Preheat your skillet over medium heat and brush with 1-1/2 teaspoons of butter or 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Using a 1/4-cup measure, scoop batter onto warm skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, and then flip. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook on the opposite side for about 1 minute, or until golden brown. (My pancakes were slightly larger than 1/4-cup of batter each, and I yielded 7 rather than 8; and they took slightly longer to cook than recipe indicates). Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and place in a preheated 200F oven to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skilled when needed. Serve immediately. Vanilla Maple Syrup: Stir together the syrup, vanilla, and serve over pancakes.

Virgil G. Christianson, 69

Virgil G. Christianson October 31, 1946 October 27, 2016 Virgil G. Christianson, 69, of Waukon, IA, died Thursday, October 27, 2016, at Good Samaritan Center in Waukon. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, November 2, at 11 a.m. at Old East Paint Creek Lutheran Church in rural Waterville, Iowa, with Pastor Ken Kimball ofﬁciating. Burial will be at the church cemetery. Friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Martin Funeral Home in Waukon. Virgil Gene Christianson was born October 31, 1946, at home in rural Waukon, Iowa, the son of Andrew Cornelius and Hilma Cornelia (Larson) Christianson. He was baptized and conﬁrmed at Old East Paint Creek Lutheran Church in rural Waterville, Iowa. In 1979, Virgil started attending TASC, and continued to attend until he had a stroke in 2012 when he went into Good Samaritan Center. In his 33 years at TASC, Virgil worked at various sites including Waukon Harley Davidson, Reel Core, and

the Food Ranch grocery store. He also helped out on his siblings’ farms and even though he wasn’t supposed to, would drive the tractor. He was very devoted to his mom, Hilma, and enjoyed helping her around the house. A timekeeper, Virgil kept everyone on schedule. He liked cleaning house and cracking and cleaning hickory nuts, which he later gave as gifts; he loved doing plastic canvas needlepoint and made coasters, pencil holders, and tissue boxes. With TASC, Virgil bowled and played softball. He enjoyed watching the Dukes of Hazzard, and dancing to and playing his harmonica with the Toe Tappers. Virgil had fun and lived life to the fullest. Virgil is survived by his eight siblings: Hilmen (Lillian) Christianson, Anaruth Bechtel, Ione Rema, Margaret Herman, Clifton (Charlotte) Christianson, all of Waukon, Carmen (Marge) Christianson of Preston, Minn., Norman (Gayle) Christianson of Vallejo, Calif., and Vivian (Dave) Benjegerdes of Postville, Iowa; an aunt Lillian Larson of Waukon; and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers-in-law: Karl Bechtel, Norman Rema, and Alton Herman. Honorary casketbearers are the staff and clients at TASC. Casketbearers are Bob Christianson, Herb Bechtel, Ray Svendson, Don Herman, Gary Christianson, Andy Christianson, and Jaron Christianson, Dennis Herman, and Greg Benjegerdes.

West Union residents and those from the surrounding area have a longestablished, but new choice in the retail shoe business. Tindell Shoes is opening in West Union! The former Postville store, which closed in 2015 when the Postville Co-op merged with the Ossian Co-op, is being reopened on the corner Vine and Elm streets, across from the West Union Chamber office. Owners Rick and Jackie Trumm saw a niche market they could fit and found a building that should allow them to prosper and have a wide variety of products. This shoe store won’t be selling off-brand items. You can expect high-quality products from these two. “The population size and the new downtown really is what attracted to us to West Union,” Rick said. “We found a great building to locate it in on the Streetscape.” Jackie herself worked at Tindell’s in Postville for 25 years. She understands the shoe business and has passed that off to her husband of 21 years. “Rick has been in sales longer than I have,” Jackie explained. “He has helped in the store before and gone to markets with me for years.” The store will be selling Nike, Red Wing, New Balance, Rocket

Dog, Skechers, kids’ winter boots, and much more. The wide selection will feature some of these brands’ top-selling shoes. “We want shoes that won’t fall apart on people after a month,” Jackie stated. “We will be selling nothing but the high-quality products that can be found on the market. We may not have all the brands, but a majority of the popular ones will be sold by us.” For some, finding a comfortable shoe can be a hassle. A person’s foot may be wide, narrow or need arch support. Both Rick and Jackie will have the ability to assess your needs and can custom-order shoes to meet them. For some, finding a comfortable shoe can be a hassle.

The store will also have a machine made by FootBalance that assesses arch support needs and can then custom mold one. Rick believes it is the only FootBalance machine in Iowa. “It take pictures of the bottom of your feet and it will take a flat insoles and then heat them up to a certain temperature,” Rick said. “You then put the insoles down on a foam block and then you put your foot down on top of it and push down. When they cool off they form right to your foot.” The original Tindell Shoes was opened in Postville by Glenn Tindell in 1928. His son, Clarence, was a shoe cobbler in the U.S. Navy during World War II. When he returned from the service, he

Training sessions conducted in Frankville This summer, the Frankville Fire Department, along with other neighboring fire departments, conducted several training sessions at a property owned Rick and Bonnie Johnson of Frankville. The firefighters trained on a number of tactics and techniques over the course of about 5 months using this house. The Winneshiek County Joint Special Response Team also used the property to train on multiple occasions. This training all came to an end on October 15, 2016 when the Frankville Fire Department, with the help of members from the Decorah, Ridgeway, Calmar, Castalia and Postville Fire Departments, used the house for one last live fire exercise, eventually burning the house to the ground. The Frankville Fire Departmet would like to extend a special thank you to the Johnsons for their generosity in allowing us to use this property for this extremely valuable training. These types of exercises provide our firefighters with some of the most realistic training possible while still being able to work in a controllable environment.

“Youth Engagement Strengthens 4-H” Leader Training November 7 Candidates for Allamakee County Extension 4-H provides youth the opportunity to reach their full potential by working and learning in partnership with caring adults. 4-H volunteers are one of the essential elements of ISU Extension’s youthserving organization. On Monday, November 7 at 7 p.m., at the Freedom Bank Community Room in Elkader 4-H volunteers from Clayton County are invited to “Youth Engagement Strengthens 4-H” training to learn how to engage youth in intentional, meaningful ways.

During this training, 4-H leaders will gain an understanding of the importance of youth involvement, identify strategies that support positive youth adult partnerships and gather resources to aid in engaging youth in core principles of positive youth development. In addition, volunteers will practice how to empower youth of all ages to make 4-H more engaging. This experience is part of Iowa State University Extension’s 4-H Youth Development training for volunteers.

Statewide training prepares 4-H volunteers who work with young people in non-formal educational settings to be more effective in promoting positive youth development through the 4-H experience. Effective volunteers provide the experiences and positive relationships that enable 4-H youth to become productive citizens, outstanding communicators, effective leaders, and successful learners now and in the future.

The Power of Posture "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all." Isaiah 7:9 NIV

The Harvard social psychologist Amy Cuddy has done a variety of interesting studies on the power of posture. Her research demonstrates that standing tall and engaging in various “power poses” can actually improve our performance. It won’t endow you with knowledge you don’t already have or allow you to have superhuman strengths, but standing like a superhero will allow you to make the most of your inherent abilities and knowledge. One of the interesting things to come out of her research is the finding that you can do these “power poses” in private for relatively short periods of time (as little as one or two minutes) and see improvements in your performance. The standard power pose is simply standing tall, putting your hands on your hips (arms akimbo), pulling your shoulders back (to thrust out your chest), and holding your head up. Pretty easy to do, and we are also warned that “powerless poses,” such as being hunched over and dropping your head can lead to poorer performances. Let’s face it, when we look and feel confident, we are more likely to perform well, and God wants us to do and be well. So stand up tall and hold your head high. You can do it! – Christopher Simon

Remember, if you’re on Medicare and don’t have drug coverage, or the coverage you have is not as good as Medicare’s, you will face a penalty for each month you delay enrolling. If you have questions about Medicare drug coverage call your local SHIIP counselor at Veterans Memorial Hospital at 568-3411. SHIIP volunteers are available to meet individually with anyone in the community who wishes to compare the Medicare Part D plans available for 2017. Appointments are required.

Should you enroll by telephone with 1-800-Medicare or a plan, request a confirmation number, the name of the person enrolling you and note the date and time enrolled. The next opportunity to enroll or change plans for most people will be October 15-December 7 of 2017.

Oh deer

Many years ago our garden was being whipped by the wind and so we decided to plant a row of bushes to protect it. Later, we built a small feedlot south of there. A row of trees next to the bushes made sense to keep snow out of the feedlot and the cattle comfortable. We have been buying seedlings from the soil office fundraiser for as long as I can remember. Those people do a great job promoting soil conservation. It must be frustrating for them. The tradition of farmer as master over the land usually trumps the idea of working with nature instead of destroying it for short term gain. It is too bad that the people at the soil office are having their work destroyed by a related government agency. Yesterday I

Quilts of VALOR from front She noted that although they have met several times at Community Presbyterian Church, many of the women choose to do their sewing at home. She said, “The women are very dedicated and it is our goal to give quilts to all World War II veterans within the next several months. Finding people to sew is not a problem, but the material and other supplies can become very expensive. For that reason donations are always very much appreciated.” She noted that because the Quilts of Valor is a National project, they must follow strict guidelines. The material, batting, thread and machine quilting adds up quickly and one quilt costs in excess of $100. She said, “We were very happy when Mike and Barb Krambeer stepped forward to help as they donated their Thrivent Dollars to help fund several quilts. Donations are so important to keeping this project going as we want

discovered several trees had been shredded by deer. We had watered, weeded, and mulched those trees for years and they had finally taken off. Now they are torn to shreds. I’ve come up with a few simple measures that could not only save lives and money, but also aid the hungry. Many taxpayer dollars could be saved if the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) were restricted from jurisdiction over private property. When deer are on our property they should be subject to our rule not the rule of the state. Did you know it is illegal to sell harvested deer meat? Restaurants in the United States that serve venison, import it from New Zealand. Dumb. Then there are all the hungry people who get food stamps to buy groceries. I remember back in my days in the mountains of western Montana, going to apply for food stamps. Even before the Spotted Owl scam, jobs were pretty scarce at times in timber country. I looked at all that paper

to make sure all deserving veterans are honored with a quilt. We have a list of veterans from World War II and all others who served. We don’t want to leave anyone out.” Those wishing to donate may contact any of the women who are making the quilts and there is also an account earmarked for Quilts of Valor at Suhdron Fabrics in Monona. Others who are members of Thrivent Financial and wish to donate should contact any of the quilters to find out what is needed. The women will be presenting six deserving veterans with Quilts of Valor at the Veterans Day Program at Postville Community Schools on Friday, November 11. They also have plans to make another presentation at the Memorial Day Program in May Rita added, “This is a very worthwhile project. We interview each of the recipients and they are all so grateful to be honored in this way. We invite any and all quilters to get involved. Also, anyone who knows of a deserving area veteran may contact us to be sure we have his or her name on our list.”

work and walked out. I lived with a couple guys who could shoot straight and I could help carry, so we survived on a diet that lacked the diversity of a grocery store. It is incredible to me that an animal that costs $4 billion and 200 lives a year in vehicle crashes is managed to provide sport for a tiny minority. That we need a license from the state to shoot a deer should be shocking to people in a free country. We’ve spent $4 trillion on a

war on terror that hasn’t impacted as many Americans as the deer. In fact, much of that $4 trillion acted as a recruitment tool or incitement, not as a deterrent. Without the incentive of our air bases in Saudi Arabia, 9/11 very well could have never happened. And our reaction to it was the most costly part. I’m not trying to discount the threat of jihad, I’m only offering perspective on another problem caused by excessive government power.

I couldn’t find a solid number on the cost of deer damage to crops and residential plantings, but even without those added, one motorcyclist hitting a deer on the interstate should be enough that our government should not only stay completely out of the deer management business, but should encourage any hungry person to seek one for their freezer at any time. It would be fine with me if the DNR stuck to enforcing trespass

Black Hills Energy wants to make sure you are ready for winter Winter will arrive sooner than we think, and Black Hills Energy is encouraging everyone to be prepared instead of waiting for the snow to fly. “Like a fireman when the bell rings, Black Hills Energy’s winter emergency plans are in place and our employees are ready to respond quickly and effectively when called upon,” said Tracy Peterson, vice president of Black Hills Energy’s Iowa natural gas operations. “Safe, reliable service is always our priority,” he said. “We offer safety tips and suggestions at www. blackhillsenergy.com to help our customers prepare as well.” “Natural gas is a clean, safe, reliable source of energy for heating

more than 70 million homes in the United States,” Peterson said. “You schedule regular maintenance on a car for efficient performance, safe operation and longer life. In the same way, it’s important to get an annual furnace inspection and tune-up to ensure that your heating equipment is running safely, properly and efficiently.” A few items to have on hand should a winter storm impact the operation of your heating equipment, a supply of blankets, flashlights and fresh batteries (including a fully charged cellphone battery) are a good start including non-perishable foods that don’t need to be cooked or refrigerated. If downed limbs or

other incidents interrupt power, don’t open the refrigerator any more than necessary as cold and frozen food can last up to 24 hours if left undisturbed. Black Hills Energy also recommends regularly inspected carbon monoxide detectors. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless byproduct of the incomplete burning of fuels including wood, gasoline, charcoal and natural gas. Signs of a potential carbon monoxide leak can include, but are not limited to, flu-like symptoms – a scratchy throat, runny nose, headache, drowsiness or nausea. Other indicators could include frosted windows due to excessive humidity, or a draft from

for every student in the school. I decided to limit it to high school, 183 copies, knowing that the middle school could access these too. I wasn’t sure how my request for that many magazines would be received. A letter quickly came back saying that there were multiple titles to choose from, and that every student would get one, plus, we would get some subscriptions to keep the magazines on going for this year and next.” A woman at the publishing company named Carol, whom Miller had written to, noted that she understood the importance of teaching and she appreciates all teachers do. She told Miller that she herself has a seven year old son. When asked about which magazines she received, Linda said, “I chose multiple titles, and when the magazines arrived I was blown

away. We received two or more copies of each magazine, and the value of them exceeds well into the thousands. With the magazines, a letter came saying that we had ten subscriptions for this year and they will continue into next year. Currently the magazines are in Miller’s classroom. She noted, “The interest is rapidly peaking with the students asking when they can look at them. Many of my advisors have started already, and I plan on setting the magazines out and letting the kids take what they like, share them with each other, and read.” She concluded by saying, “The response from the students has been amazing. They are very excited, and I am so happy that I listened to the suggestion at the Kawasaki dealership. And to think I went in there to buy lawn mower oil!”

from front She commented, “He told me to contact Peterson Publishing magazine and just tell them to see if I could get a few copies of Hot Rod or one of those types of magazines. I realized that a common interest factor among many of the kids that I talk to are engines, tires, bikes, fixing up trucks and cars, and other adventurous activities.” On Gunderson’s advice, Miller wrote to the publishing company and explained the situation at Postville. She exclaimed, “I was stunned when the next day I received a letter telling me that not only could I have one magazine, I could have enough

Red Ribbon Week

Junior High Honor Roll 1st Quarter

“YOLO. BE DRUG FREE” is this year’s theme for Red Ribbon Week. At the Postville Schools, Red Ribbon Week is sponsored by the High School Student Ambassadors and ASAP Representatives. This year, the two sponsoring groups have had the students dress up to represent being drug free. On Friday, the students participated in a dodgeball tournament. Every year, the ultimate goal of Red Ribbon Week is to help citizens across the state come together to keep children, families and communities safe, healthy, and drug-free. WHAT IS RED RIBBON WEEK? Red Ribbon Week is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against substance abuse. Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon. WHY DO WE ACKNOWLEDGE RED RIBBON WEEK? The Red Ribbon Campaign was started when drug trafﬁckers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present a uniﬁed and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG-FREE AMERICA. ❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃

What’s Up in 7th Grade Technology Classes Recently, Mrs. Combs, the K-12 TAG instructor introduced our 7th grade Tech students to “Dash and Dot”. “Dash and Dot” are small robots that can be programmed when students create a code of commands. All of the students in Mrs. Lenth’s 7th grade Tech classes had a chance to use the ipads, create a code and interact with the robots. By writing a code, students practice problem-solving, order of operations and giving speciﬁc directions to the robot. Everyone enjoyed the class experience and will look forward to Mrs. Combs visiting again.

7th Grade Lady Pirate Volleyball Pictured above, front row (left to right): Kimberly Mucia, Kathleen Looney, Violet Shipp, and Gaby Cortes. Second row: Jenna Fish, Emily Navarro, Areli Campos, Perla Gozalez, and Daisy Shipp. Third row: Claire Bacon, Jacky Resendiz, Olivia Lansing, Kelleigh Martins, Emilie Meyer, Autumn Sebastion, Kylee Whalen, and Coach Daryl Schultz.

Riley Brockway was featured on the cover of a Wartburg program earlier this fall when the Knights played Finlandia at home.

Career highs include 36 yards at Luther on Oct. 24, 2015; eleven receptions at Coe on Oct. 1, 2016; 168 yards at Nebraska Wesleyan on Sept. 17, 2016. Riley’s mother, Kristi Flack, who also attended Wartburg College said, “He is always looking for ways to improve himself and to become a better team player. We are very proud of him.” Brockway is majoring in K-12 Education for Physical Education and Health. He will also be getting

his coaching endorsement. His mother added, “He loves Wartburg. The facilities are extremely nice and the instructors have allowed him the extra attention if needed. The college environment and sense of community have allowed him to excel. The Wartburg coaches and training staff are above standard and have always put education ﬁrst although they have also pressed Riley to grow athletically and improve his football skills and ability. I know that he is well taken care of so that eases my mind as well.” Riley comes to games knowing he is well-supported. Along with his mom, Kristi and step-dad, Casey Flack, there are aunts, uncles, nephews, grandparents and high school friends in attendance. Kristi noted, “There is not a day that goes by that someone does not ask me about Riley and football. I am stopped on the streets of Postville all the time. People call me asking about the scores, send me newspaper clippings from area newspapers and forward online articles about the team or Riley to me. We are humbled by the amount of support shown to him. Riley is always amazed after the games when he sees everyone coming out on to the ﬁeld to talk with him. Although he has left Postville for college life, he is reminded daily of all the great people who live in Postville and he is proud to represent Postville High School and the Postville Community while at Wartburg.” Tyler Schager This year, Tyler Schager, who also has Postville roots, is seeing varsity playing time as a sophomore

Tyler Schager on the Knight’s football team. The son of Troy and Julie Schager, Tyler, played his high school ball at Kasson-Mantorville High School in Kasson, Minn. Tyler, who plays on the offensive line, also has a large Postville following which includes his grandparents, Fran and Arlin Schager, aunts and uncles and many other relatives and friends. Tyler’s dad, Troy, who played football at PHS, also played college ball at Wartburg. Riley’s mom said, “With the boys both being in the starting lineup, as well as, sharing Postville connections, they have become quite close this year. It has also added to the Postville fan zone. It is a super fun environment!” This Saturday Wartburg will host Luther College on the Knight’s home turf. Come out and support these local boys competing at the next level. Congrats to Riley and Tyler and their families.

Lakken cox Lakken Cox, a junior at Postville High School and the daughter of Jeff and Michelle Cox, is this week’s Pirate of the Week. Cox was nominated by her Volleyball Coach Sam Becker.

Coach Becker said, “Cox, a returning letter winner from last year, has been a team leader for the volleyball team this year. Despite Lakken Cox set backs from injuries Cox has been to all practice and games encouraging her teammates on. She is a vocal leader even from the bench with over whelming encouragement and enthusiasm.” Lakken received another letter in volleyball at the recent 2016 volleyball banquet. Lakken also participates in cheerleading, track, basketball, and Food and Fitness. She is a member of student council and National Honor Society along with being a class officer.
