Ann Jungblut shares her experience at Wrigley during World Series

MATT SCHULTZ

ANN JUNGBLUT

(Editor’s Note: Matt Schultz, a 1998 graduate of Postville High School is the son of the late Myron and Lynette Schultz of Postville. He has agreed to share his thoughts concerning the first Cubs World Series win in 108 years with our readers.) I’ve been hooked on the Cubs since I can remember. I remember watching games on WGN at an early age, and listening to games on the radio whenever they weren’t on television. The first time I went to Wrigley Field I had just turned eleven. As my family and I walked up the ramp to our seats in the upper deck, we heard a golf cart pull up behind us and a familiar voice ask how our day was. It was Harry Caray. He was nice enough to chat for a bit and made my first visit to Wrigley an unforgettable one. The Cubs lost that day, as they did every other time I went with my dad. The last game I watched with my dad was Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS. I left work early that day to speed home and watch the end of the game with him. The rest went down in typical Cubs fashion. I’ve seen the Cubs play in person five times since my dad has passed, and they have won every single game. I told anyone that was willing to listen before last year that the Cubs would win a World Series in the next four years. I had a chance to get back to Wrigley last fall, and the new renovations do not detract from the history and charm of the park. I saw this year’s team play in Denver, and over half of the stadium was rooting for the Cubs. I have thought several times about my dad and my grandpa this season and this week. I’ve also thought about all of the great players that never won a World Series: Banks, Williams, Dawson, Sandberg, Jenkins, and Santo. The current roster of Cubs are positive, have fun, and always pick each other up. I’ve always had faith in the Cubs. Most seasons if the Cubs had been down 3-1 in a series I would have written them off, as many others would have as well. And after an amazing Game 7, I still haven’t come down from this amazing high. I wish I could have experienced this with my dad and grandpa, but I’ll always have great memories of them every time I think of the Cubs.

(Editor’s Note: Ann Jungblut, who graduated from Postville High School in 1994, is the daughter of Paul and Mary Jungblut of Postville. She was in attendance at game three of the World Series and has agreed to share her experience with our readers.) I have loved the Chicago Cubs for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would race home from school to catch the afternoon games on WGN. My family didn’t vacation to Disney, we went to Wrigley Field, a place that would become, and will always be, my favorite place on this planet. I had hoped that someday, maybe when I retired, I would get season tickets and spend every summer with the Cubs. But that dream came true last year when my close friend Ryan told me that after 10 years on the waiting list, he was up to get season tickets and he was offering me a seat. I didn’t even hesitate or ask my signiﬁcant other of 10 years who is a die hard White Sox fan. And so, I started my summers with the Cubs. Last year I was at the last game of the season. The Back to the Future game. The Mets. The stadium was as tense as I have ever felt it. There were ofﬁcers at the gates with riot gear and holding machine guns. I don’t believe in curses but I do believe in the BELIEF in them. Everyone in the

stadium felt terriﬁed that something awful was going to happen. Although not catastrophic, they did lose. But the reaction was not what I anticipated. I immediately stood to leave because I couldn’t bear to watch the Mets celebrate. No one moved. The crowd stayed in their seats and gave the team a standing ovation. I cringed at the thought of hearing “wait until next year.” But I

think everyone knew that this team was different. This summer I went to more Cubs games that I ever have in my life and they won almost all of them. I developed a routine that I followed every time I came to the stadium. I knew from last year that in order to see both jumbo trons you

Soride notes 15 years of service at Tri-City Denny Soride, a Postville area farmer, has been in charge of the lawn mowing duties at Luana’s Tri-City Golf Club for 15 years. He recalled beginning his tenure with Tri-City shortly after selling his dairy herd. When asked how long it takes to mow the course he said, “It is a never ending job. By the time you get to one end, it is time to start over. “ He also commented that he enjoyed the mowing and being around the golfers and his co-workers. Although he wasn’t a golfer before beginning his stint at the club, he now also enjoys getting out on the course when he can. PHOTO BY JENNIFER LUBKA / POSTVILLE HERALD

Local foods work continues at Northeast Iowa RC&D through Farmers Market Promotion Grant Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced more than $56 million in grants to support and strengthen local food projects and programs. A portion of that grant funding included a Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) grant from the Agriculture Marketing Service for $336,603, awarded to Northeast Iowa RC&D in partnership with Iowa Valley RC&D. The two RC&Ds will team up to create a Farmers Market Manager Training Toolkit that will educate, empower and enrich farmers markets managers, vendors, and stakeholders across the state. The toolkit will include print materials and training events that will be tailored to match local needs and that address critical topics related to business viability, farmers market management, and food safety.

This award is the second FMPP grant received by Northeast Iowa RC&D, and will build upon the work from the previous FMPP grant awarded in 2014. Northeast Iowa’s 2014 FMPP program utilized professional photographs of markets and vendors to promote Northeast Iowa farmers markets at a regional level. This effort will culminate in February at the 1st Annual Local Foods and Farmers Market Summit. The summit will be held at NICC February 9 in Calmar, Iowa, and will provide an opportunity for farmers market vendors, managers, economic development directors, tourism directors and community leaders to socialize and educate themselves on a multitude of issues and opportunities regarding the local food system. “Everyone across the local food scene in Northeast Iowa vocalized the need for an opportunity to collaborate and build relationships with local food peers and partners. This event will check all those boxes and highlights the real intent of the RC&D’s work – to strengthen local foods by building a regional network,” stated Josh Dansdill, Regional Farmers Market Coordinator. “The summit will also be a great venue for us to gather input from market managers and vendors for the toolkit we’ll be developing with Iowa Valley RC&D.” According to Dansdill, the partnership with Iowa Valley RC&D was a “no brainer” as they have been leaders in the local foods scene

for years and have helped create a vibrant local foods scene in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area. Jason Grimm, Iowa Valley RC&D’s Food System Planner stated, “We are looking forward to this FMPP project partnership. Our RC&D has been a resource for farmers and growers for all things local foods related for several years. This new project will be another strategy towards improving the viability of Iowa’s farmers markets by empowering our Market Managers to be a quality resource for current and potential market vendors” Although much of Iowa Valley RC&D’s local foods work is behind the scenes, they demonstrate their passion for locally grown products

each year through a special local foods banquet. Their 9th Annual Banquet fundraiser will be held November 11, 2016 at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids. All the food, prepared by Mercy Hospital’s Chef Daniel and the Mercy Medical Staff, is from local producers. There will also be a silent auction and entertainment by Marc and Brandi Janssen. Northeast Iowa RC&D and Iowa Valley RC&D’s work to develop the Farmers Markets Manager Training Toolkits will kick off in the beginning of November. If you are interested in this project, please contact either Northeast Iowa RC&D at (563) 8647112 or Iowa Valley RC&D at (319) 622-3264.

Been busy getting ready for our ‘Early Thanksgiving Dinner’ at Community Presbyterian Church. I also put my mower away as I mowed for the last time on November 1st. Hope this weather means a short winter, time will tell.

Irish Soda Bread This bread goes great with any soup you make. It bakes up high with a golden brown top and tantalizing combo of sweet and savory flavors. • 3 cups all-purpose flour • 2/3 cups sugar • 3 tsp. baking powder • 1 tsp. salt • 1 cup raisins • 2 eggs beaten • 1-1/2 cups buttermilk • 1 Tbsp. Canola oil Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients. Stir in raisins. Set aside 1 tablespoon beaten egg, In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, oil and remaining eggs. Stir in flour mixture just until moistened (dough will be sticky). Transfer to a greased 9-inch round baking pan. Brush top with reserved egg. Bake 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near middle comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cut into wedges.

If I’ve learned anything I’ve learned many people working together can do great things!

Butternut Turkey Soup Although its hearty with lots of nutritious vegetables and turkey, this soup won’t weigh you down. • 3 onions, thinly sliced • 1 tsp., Olive oil • 3 cups chicken broth • 3 cups butternut squash, cubed and peeled (3/4 inch cubes) • 2 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2 cubes • 1-1/2 cups water • 2 tsp. minced thyme • 1/2 tsp. pepper • 2 whole cloves • 3 cups turkey breast, cubed and cooked In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, cook onions in oil over medium heat until tender. Stir in the broth, squash, potatoes, water, thyme and pepper. Place cloves in a double thickness of cheese cloth, bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Stir into soup. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in turkey, heat through. Discard spice bag.

Mystery, Mingle, Munch & Mob tour ends in Elkader The last Clayton County: Mystery, Mingle, Munch & Mob tour ended with another great town full of surprises on October 20, 2016. Elkader did not disappoint with great tours of Arthur Geisert’s studio and then the Opera House followed by great Elkader restaurants and shopping. The mystery mob was enchanted with the artwork and stories of Arthur Geisert, Elkader’s newest artist. Known to be quite a character, the group was spellbound as they listened to Arthur tell stories as he gave a tour of his studio on Main Street. Arthur has done an amazing job turning the old dry cleaner’s into a amazing artist’s studio for his lithographs and award winning children’s books. Arthur’s passion is the lithography process he uses to make his books and art. He demonstrated the long lithography process used creating each of his books which are true works of art. He also showed his sketches for his next children’s book which is well underway with a very strong sense of place. It takes inspiration from all the beautiful historical buildings of Elkader to use as the setting for his next story. This funny whimsical book has a long way to go before going to print due to the long and costly process of lithography, but promises to be another truly amazing, awardwinning book. The mystery mob continued up the street next to get a behind-thescenes tour of the Elkader Opera House. While many had attended performances there, few had ever been given a tour or learned the history of the opera house. Built in 1903, it was part of the ChicagoMinneapolis show circuit during its heyday, drawing huge crowds to its headliners. Once the train circuit ended and the crowds became smaller, the opera house had to find other uses.

Taylor inducted in NICCC Alumna Hall of Fame Nina Taylor has cultivated tireless support for entrepreneurship, small businesses and community diversity since graduating from Northeast Iowa Community College’s (NICC) Accounting Specialist program in 1984. The graduate views local needs as an opportunity to serve her community and make a difference in the lives of others. To celebrate and recognize her many honors, volunteer service and community achievements, NICC inducted Taylor, who grew up in Elkader before moving to Postville in 1979 and now lives in Decorah, into the College’s Alumni Hall of Fame on Oct. 3. “When I enrolled at Northeast Iowa Community College, I was a single parent and I needed something to do with my life. Bookkeeping came so natural to me ever since high school, and I enjoyed it,” recalled Taylor. “The late Bill Wermers (NICC accounting instructor) was such an excellent instructor, and he knew how to relate lessons to his students. That was so much help for me at the time because it was overwhelming to have three young kids – getting my degree was first and foremost at that point.” Taylor’s successful balancing act as a single, working parent quickly gained recognition. In 1985, the Parent without Partners organization awarded Taylor with the Single Parent of the Year honor locally, and she received the honor again in the State of Iowa, and at the Zone E National Level and International Candidate. As her career evolved, her interest in business development and nurturing budding entrepreneurs continued to grow. “I worked with a state organization based in Iowa City, the

community, she also served in leadership positions as chairperson of the Taste of Postville and created a Visitor Center. She helped launch the first multilingual public radio station in the community in 2001. “The Church Council turned the radio station over to the community after which it broadcast for 14 years. It helped to bridge the diversity in Postville. We had good cross-sections of people involved in KPVL-FM, and I found it very rewarding to have been a part of it. We broadcast in four languages – English, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian,” Taylor explained. The alumna is currently the president of Winneshiek County Economic Development, treasurer for County Heritage Community, an executive board member for Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission and member of the compensation board for Winneshiek County Supervisors and Employees. “Serving the community is about making a difference in others’ lives. I have been lucky in life to be in the right position to be asked for help. I’m not the person who says, ‘no.’ Service helps to bring someone else to the next level of success in their life,” she reflected. Nina and her husband Ron married in 1991, moved to Decorah in 2006 and have six children and nine grandchildren.

‘What’s New in County 22?’ MIKE TSCHIRGI

CLAYTON COUNTY SHERIFF This month I would like to talk a little bit about how diversified our department is. All of our deputies have different avenues of talent they can show off at the department. I believe that by allowing them to pursue what interests them brings energy and motivation to the department along with great morale. I believe all of them love their jobs because they get to do things that interest them. We have two investigators. One specializes in drugs and the other criminal investigations. This helps our patrol when they have questions or need help on a specialized case. We just sent a deputy through DRE (Drug Recognition Expert) school so he can identify those driving while drugged and he also tests our seized marijuana for us so we don’t

have to send it somewhere else. Another officer is becoming a TI (Technical Investigator). Once he is certified we can call on him for terrible accidents and he can reenact what happened. I have a K-9 Deputy and K-9 and as a team they do incredible work finding drugs or missing persons. One deputy works with the 5C Coalition and also works on the alcohol and tobacco compliance checks. Another deputy is a workhorse on patrol and is in charge of the STEP program. This next year he is helping head up the High Five project which will hopefully enforce more seat belt usage and fewer accidents or deaths. One deputy is a firearms instructor and takes great pride in the valuable gun range we use along with other officers from the State Patrol, DNR, DCI and members of Pheasants Forever. One of my deputies has strong skills in computers and helps keep our website and Facebook entries up to date. A lot of us go to him on computer questions. My two Sergeants oversee the patrol deputies. One is the Criminal

investigator which I’ve already mentioned and the other has taken an interest in purchasing new patrol cars and outfitting them. My Chief Deputy who is in charge of deputies and reserves also serves as a Civil Deputy with all the papers and civil proceedings that come in. I could go on for another page about the diversified talent in our dispatch/jail center along with my secretaries. I believe every one of them has a talent and interest that benefits this department and helps us. Law Enforcement is not just going out and writing tickets. There are a lot of different avenues in law enforcement a person can take an interest to do and assist the department. I believe that by allowing my deputies to pursue what interests them we have a diversified department that serves to the best interest of our citizens. And if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me anytime, e-mail me at mtschirgi@ claytoncountyia.gov, or stop by to see me.

Operating:

Music is truly a universal language. We don’t need to understand the lyrics to know whether a song is happy or sad because the music literally speaks the language of our souls, pulling our heartstrings or uplifting our spirits in the process. It is amazing how readily our spirits can be moved by music. Armies have harnessed the power of music for centuries with marching music and fight songs, and we all know the power of music to make us weep. Under the right circumstances, a sad song will move everybody to tears. One of the more potent uses of music is to help us complete our work, especially when the work is long and hard. When armies march, there’s a reason they sing cadences; it keeps them all in step and it motivates them. For work that we’re not particularly enthusiastic about, a happy upbeat song can keep us going. Most activities can be improved with the right music, so whether you are literally or figuratively dancing to the music, sing a song unto the Lord and use music to enhance your life. – Christopher Simon

Keep the holidays healthy

Annual flu vaccination protects yourself and loved ones The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds Iowans that an annual flu vaccination is the best way to protect them and their loved ones from the flu. “Getting the flu vaccine now will ensure protection over the holidays,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “As people gather together for holiday meals and parties, they’re more likely to spread illness around. Receiving the flu vaccine will help you stay healthy to enjoy all the festivities, and will also keep you from making others sick.” This is especially important during family gatherings that infants, those with chronic diseases, or elderly individuals might attend. Infants younger than 6 months of age are not old enough to receive the influenza vaccine, so they are at a higher risk of catching the flu from someone else and they have the highest chance of being hospitalized if they get ill. If you are ill with flulike symptoms during the holidays, you need to stay home and away from others. The flu vaccine is plentiful, widely available, and is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. While the flu vaccine is the best defense against getting influenza, it’s also important to take personal actions to help prevent the spread of illness. Remember the 3Cs: Cover your coughs and sneezes; Clean your hands frequently; and Contain germs by staying home when ill.

The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. It spreads easily from person to person and can cause mild to severe illness. The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches. Illness typically lasts two to seven days. Influenza may cause severe illness or complications in people such as the very young or very old, or those who have underlying health conditions. Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care offers flu shots every Wednesday afternoon during their regular immunization clinics. The next flu shot clinics will be held on Wednesday, November 2 from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. and again on Wednesday, November 9, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and each Wednesday thereafter. Appointments can also be made by calling them at 568-5600. The Community and Home Care Immunization Clinic is located on the upper level of Veterans Memorial Hospital. Immunization clinics are held from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. the first and third Wednesdays of the month, and from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. all other Wednesdays. Flu vaccine, pneumonia vaccine, and a combination of flu and pneumonia vaccine will all be available. Tetanus shots will be offered as well. For more information, please call Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care at 5685660.

JUNGBLUT Wrigley from front had to sit in center field. So that’s where I sat for every game. In the same section, with a lot of the same people. Every time I went, I felt the same overwhelming feeling of joy, the feeling of returning home when you have been away, the feeling of seeing old friends. Some have even called going to Wrigley Field like going to church. Fitting, since it was built on land that once housed a church and a seminary. When the Cubs made the playoffs, Ryan brought over my World Series ticket in an envelope. We didn’t know at that time if we would even get to use the tickets. When you buy a playoff package they send you all the home tickets through the World Series. They sent us tickets last year that were for the World Series too but we obviously did not get to use them. So I kept the ticket in the envelope. During the 9th inning of the NLCS, it looked like it was going to happen. I grabbed the ticket off the counter, jumped in the car, and drove to my nearby Cubs bar to celebrate. I walked in and watched the last two outs there. After I had stopped crying, I went into the bathroom and with hands shaking, I opened the envelope, half thinking that the ticket would be some kind of prank. But there it was. That ticket made it more real to me. It was a dream that I never even let myself imagine coming true. My ticket was in the section I always sit in. The day of Game 3 I was at a conference in Chicago for work. Everything seemed serendipitous as this worked out in my favor perfectly. When I went to check out of my hotel at noon, the entire staff was in Cubs gear. From there I stopped at my in-laws where I was staying, dropped off my stuff, and soon after called an Uber to take me to Roscoe Village, the neighborhood next to Wrigleyville. I met Ryan and we both confessed that we had been nervously checking our ticket every five minutes. I felt like I was carrying the Hope Diamond in my purse and that if anyone knew they would surely take it from me. After some pizza and beer we started our twenty minute walk to Wrigley. We walked by business men in suits wearing Cubs hats. We walked by a group of guys playing beer

pong listening to “Bye Bye Curse of ‘45.” I saw W flags, strangers high fiving each other, and heard random chants of “Let’s Go Cubbies” break out. A helicopter hovered overhead to remind us that we were in a post 9/11 world. Meanwhile, in a cemetery out in the suburbs, Harry Carey’s son-in-law was at Harry’s grave, surrounded by buckets of green apples, turning on a radio as he’s done for every World Series since Harry’s death. The cemetery closes at night so he leaves the radio to play for Harry. This year he tuned it to the local Chicago station so “he doesn’t have to listen to Joe Buck.” As we approached the Cubby Bear the streets were completely filled with people and news crews. Some of these people had been in Wrigleyville since 7 am and apparently not willing or able to pay the $250 cover that some bars were charging, or a $50 an hour table charge. An ocean of hundreds of police officers paraded down the middle of Addison. They were making a statement to keep fan behavior in check. Ernie Banks is the reason my dad is a Cubs fan. And my dad is the reason I am a Cubs fan. Typically before a game, I like to stop and see Ernie’s statue, but I couldn’t face him. He loved baseball and he loved

Commercial Ag Weed, Insect, Plant Disease Course set for November 16 Allamakee County will offer the Commercial Ag Weed, Insect and Plant Disease Management Continuing Instruction Course (CIC) for commercial pesticide applicators Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2016.

the Cubs more than I have ever loved anything in my life. It broke my heart that he wasn’t here to see this. If I had made it over to him, I would have seen red roses placed at his feet. In religious terms, red roses symbolize Mother Mary’s suffering. My mother Mary is also a suffering Cubs fan. We made our way down Addison and were greeted on Sheffield with charter buses and cars lined up the length of the stadium. Usually when I walk down that sidewalk, I enjoy looking at the brick pavers that were purchased by fans with messages engraved on them. The buses also blocked the brick wall where people had starting writing messages as well as the names of loved ones who hadn’t lived to see them make it to this historic day. This event was about so much more than baseball. It was about childhood, family, hope, and love. Due to buses, we were pushed to the opposite side of the street where the entrances to the rooftops are. I stopped to take a long look at the Eamus Catuli (Latin translation for “Lets Go Cubs”) sign at the Lakeview Club which read “AC0000108.” Meaning it had been 0 years since a division title, 0 years since a pennant, but still that 108 years since a World Series Title. 108. 108 stitches on a baseball. 108 meters to the corners of the outfield at Wrigley. 108 minute running time of “Back to the Future Part II.” The Ricketts family have their main business on 108th Street in Omaha. 10/8 was the last date the Cubs won a World Series game. 108 outs to win the World Series. 10 innings and 8 runs to win Game 7. 108. When we got to the bleacher entrance we were blinded by the FoxSports1 stage housing A-Rod, Pete Rose, and Frank Thomas. There was a wall of screaming people between the entrance and the stage. After stopping for a photo we finally walked to the entrance after taking in the sea of people and their excited energy. I was barely able to tap Harry Carey’s statue but was able to see green apples on the base and one in his hand. As I handed my ticket to get scanned, the woman said “Welcome to the World Series” and she smiled sheepishly as we made eye contact. She had probably said it 100s of times but it was still making her smile. This was my favorite part of the entire experience. We got our wristbands from a

woman with a thick Chicago accent who also welcomed us to the World Series. She then confessed, “I’ll never get tired of saying that. I want to win this so bad. And not just for my Cubbies but to shut up those SOX FANS!” Ryan started walking up the opposite way that I normally take and I reminded myself that superstitions were silly. No one knows that I always take the right ramp. It doesn’t matter that I’m taking the left one. But it still made me uneasy. All reason flies out the window with sports. During the starting line-ups, the crowd chanted “Ja-vy! Ja-vy!” When Javier Baez was introduced and he ran out as he tried to hide his smile. People of all races held a giant flag that covered the outfield for the national anthem. Derrick Lee delivered the game ball, and I thought this was a strange reminder of the Bartman incident. I couldn’t be the only one to remember Derrick’s role in that game when he played for the Marlins. Billy Williams threw out the first pitch and it made me think of a story my dad had told me about a poster he had on his wall in college of Billy. He must be beside himself right now. And then it started. Finally. After 71 years. Everyone was dialed into the game. People in my section reluctantly sat down but wanted so desperately to find a reason to leap to their feet. Also, Carlos Santana was not a left fielder and only had played the position 4 innings in his career. This seemed like a huge advantage for the Cubs. I was expecting multiple home runs During the 6th inning I felt the wind pick up and felt sure that this would be the inning that someone would hit a homer. Their pitcher was inexperienced and had an extreme home run to fly ball ratio. The wind was blowing out. By the bottom of the 9th I was sure that Javy would knock one out. A bad call and he was down in the count. And suddenly it ended with a strike out. The Cubs chased pitches out of the strike zone 44% of the time. Their highest all season. That is until Game 4, which is another sad story altogether. The crowd was stunned into silence and people quietly shuffled out of Wrigley. There was no need for all of the police. The crowd in the bleachers, known to be the wildest in the stadium, were resigned and calm. This is always the saddest part of the game, even when they win, because I don’t ever want to leave. Watching a game on TV can seem long and boring, but somehow time speeds up at Wrigley. A game is always quick and is over too fast for me. As we walked away with the quiet crowd, I felt a wave of sadness. Not because they lost the game. But for all of the Cubs fans that weren’t alive to see the World Series being played at Wrigley Field. My thoughts went to Ernie Banks and just how cruel life could be. You aren’t guaranteed anything in life. No matter how much you want it. Ryan and I set off in different directions and had some time to think about what I had just witnessed. I was able to see an African American player start in a World Series game at Wrigley Field for the first time in history. I felt the weight of that as I walked, and was overwhelmed with how lucky I was to have been there. How lucky I felt to be a Cubs fan.

Preparing for the Fall Play

Honoring All Veterans

The Postville Drama Department is pleased to present “Virgil Goes to Hollywood” by Eddie McPherson.

The Postville High School and Middle School Student Councils will be hosting the 41st annual Veterans Day Program. The Program in honor of all Veterans will be held on Friday November 11 beginning at 10:00 AM in the high school gym. There will be a get together beginning at 9:00 in the Fine Arts and Civic Center Lobby for all veterans and families. All Veterans and Community Members are welcome to attend this program.

Virgil and Ellard are back again. Virgil has always dreamed of doing something important. After finding a play he wrote when he was a little boy growing up in Lickskillit, Virgil decides to send it off to Hollywood, California to see if anyone is interested in producing his “masterpiece.” Sure enough, he almost faints when he gets a call from Hollywood asking him to bring the play to them. HOLLYWOOD! The folks in Lickskillit celebrate Virgil’s unexpected success. He is featured in the local paper and there’s a parade in his honor. His ship has FINALLY come in and he, at last, can hold his head high. But when Virgil finds out WHICH Hollywood calls, his excitement dies quickly. But how can he break the news without total humiliation? Throw in a new baby named Virgil Junior, a deputy who thinks he’s Barney Fife, an ex-girlfriend from Virgil’s past who is out to rekindle the old flame, and a few flashbacks from Virgil’s childhood and you have a hilarious and fun play that is as southern as sweet tea and cornbread.

This year’s Guest Speaker will be Chief Warrant Oﬃcer 3 Jay Rekow, a 1995 graduate of Postville High School. There will also be a special presentation for the Quilts of Valor. Along with music from the band and choir departments.

Late September Presidential Disaster Declaration

In conjunction with this current announcement, I wanted to inform the citizens of Allamakee County the Presidential Disaster Declaration for this storm and flash flooding during late September will provide public damage assistance to the following jurisdictions within Allamakee County to include the City of New Albin, City of Lansing, County Conversation and County Secondary Roads; providing financial assistance in repair and

recovery tasks. However, this declaration unfortunately does not provide any FEMA financial aid for individual home owners or businesses which suffered damage during this time. Even with the extent of flooding and destruction across the state, the amount of damage required for Iowa to submit for individual assistance from FEMA was not enough to meet the federal threshold. Therefore, FEMA support will only be available to the above mentioned organizations based on this declaration. Additionally, this is the second Presidential Disaster Declaration within the last thirty days for the

county and Northeast Iowa itself; with the first for the flooding and storm damage from August 24 – August 27. As with the September declaration, this also only provided FEMA public damage assistance the state and the following five jurisdictions within the county to include the City of Waterville, City of Lansing, County Conservation, Upper Iowa River District and County Secondary Roads. Coordination has already begun with FEMA and these organizations regarding on-going and future recovery actions within the county and will continue during the coming months.

Playing defense against diabetes Teresa Myers

RN, CDE - Diabetes Educator, Veterans Memorial Hospital November is diabetes awareness month. Are you aware that the rate of diabetes has nearly doubled in the past ten years? Are you aware that type 2 diabetes has even started showing up in teenagers? That 40% of those aged 40 to 70 have pre-diabetes? Most importantly ~ are you aware that diabetes and its complications can be almost totally avoidable? A study released in September 2008 by the Center For Disease Control and the American Diabetes Association show that about 90% of the newly diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes are related to life style and eating habits. “Weight is the strongest risk factor by far for diabetes,” says Walter Willett of the Harvard

School of Public Health. “Given that most people are not going to get down to an optimal weight, diet quality is almost as important as weight control. Exercise plays a major role in reducing these risks even further.” Play a defensive role in reducing you risk for developing diabetes. Become the quarterback. Rely on your team: family and friends, your healthcare provider and the diabetes care team at Veterans Memorial Hospital to help you win the battle. Plan your strategy. Losing any excess weight - and keeping off unwanted pounds by eating a healthier diet is the best defense. Take a brisk walk daily; limit the time you spend sitting at work, at home, or in between. Try to get least of 4½ hours of exercise or activity weekly. • Avoid trans fats, which are in some french fries, pies, cake frostings, and other foods

News Briefs Allamakee County WIC Clinic WIC Clinic for Allamakee County residents will be held the following dates and times: Postville Clinic - Turner Hall: Monday, November 14 from 9 am to 5 p.m. and Tuesday, November 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Waukon Clinic - St. John’s Lutheran Church: Monday, November 28 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Tuesday, November 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Pest Control Operators Course offered December 7

Diet and exercise factors become even more important if you have a close relative with diabetes but with good diet and lifestyle, you can still have a low risk. Contact the Diabetes Education Department at Veterans Memorial Hospital at 568-3411 to help you to be the successful quarterback and win the battle.

My brothers and I were not brought up with silver spoons in our mouths. We were, however, brought, up with baseballs in our hearts and in their gloves. (They were both outstanding ball players and I was their biggest cheerleader.) My dad, who was inducted into the Cedar Rapids Baseball Hall of Fame several years ago, began hanging out at the ballpark when he was barely old enough to walk there by himself. He was a bat boy by the time he was ten and he never left. Although he had several favorite teams through the years, mostly it was whichever big club Cedar Rapids was affiliated with, in his golden years he watched the Cubs on TV any chance he got. Don, on the other hand, was always a die-hard Cub fan. He was born into it. His dad, usually a very quiet and humble man, didn’t get excited about much. Yet, when it came to the Cubs (and a heated card game) he was known to get more than a little vocal. Long before the games were on TV, he would stand in the corner of the kitchen (or where ever he could get decent reception) to cheer for the guys in blue while listening to the radio. As they mostly lost in those day, he would quite often end up angry and distraught. But he never gave up and the next afternoon he would be right back in the kitchen, radio in hand. Every summer Don would ride the train into Chicago to visit his Aunt Marge. More often than not, she would take him to a ballgame. As the years went on he began to play baseball and while at MFL High School he was an outstanding third baseman. His favorite player was Cubs third baseman Ron Santo. We were lucky enough to meet him in Cedar Rapids about ten years ago when he was on tour promoting awareness for diabetes research and diabetes education. We also paused and reflected on his career and love for the Cubs at the Baseball Hall of Fame when we visited

This Statue of Ron Santo stands outside Wrigley Field. The legendary Santo, Cub third baseman, is an all time favorite of the Drahn family.

Don’s favorite Ron Santo (This Old Cub), announcer Harry Caray and the list goes on and on. We watched nearly every regular season game as well as all the playoff and series games. We watched the parade through downtown Chicago and the rally at Grant Park. It has all been magical. The players, coaches and manager have become our friends. We already miss them. We were lucky enough to score some Chicago newspapers commemorating this historic event (108 years is a long time) thanks to Postville native and great friend, Carol Eichmann-Bufe. We will cherish them forever. As our former Pastor Steve Brackett, who is now assistant to the Bishop, so aptly said, “Joe Maddon would surely be a good choice for President.” One thing is for sure, the way this country rallied around the Cubs (and Indians) should be a lesson for all of us to live in unity and peace. Almost everyone was talking about the World Series rather than politics. A true breath of fresh air. Even though this has been dubbed THE YEAR, we Cub fans like this feeling. We just may be back every year.

Allamakee County Emergency Management Coordinator

Cooperstown this fall. We always felt bad that he did not get into the Hall of Fame before he passed away. We saw several other Cub icons there as well including Ryne Sandburg and Ernie Banks. For the past 49 years of our marriage we, as a family, have been devoted Cubbie fans. We never gave up. We never quit cheering. Oh, we got discouraged as it seemed for decades they would play well into the final stretch of the regular season and fold during play-offs. We spent our honeymoon in Chicago as we saw three games in two days. (We also spent a few days in St. Louis and took in two Cardinal games too. ) Romantic, huh? As the kids came along we took them to ball games as well. They, too, became Cub lovers (especially the boys). Jeff was always a believer and I can still see him, as a toddler, sitting on Grandpa’s knee, listening to the games. He might have learned some salty language early on but, more than anything, he learned loyalty and love of the game. I remember the year (I think he was about eight) when we gave him a Cub’s alarm clock for Christmas. It worked well into the summer and he set it diligently every night until one day near the end of August it just quit. I can still hear him saying, “Just like the Cubs, the clock is folding. “ In his next breath, however he said, “Maybe the clock died but I know the Cubs will win the World Series someday.” He never ever doubted that dream. My oldest son was an eternal optimist. Well, someday happened this past week. Unfortunately, neither Jeff or either one of our dads were here to witness it. Don, Chad and I cheered like maniacs from our house never giving up even when things were looking pretty grim in the bottom of the ninth in game seven. When they pulled out the win in ten innings, we screamed and hollered like we had won the lottery. There may or may not have been a tear or two shed as well. We thought of those near and dear to our hearts who were watching from beyond. We thought of all of our friends and family who had also lost loved ones who loved the Cubs as well. We thought of Mr. Cub Ernie Banks,

PIRATES

Team awards

This week’s Pirates of the Week are the cast members of the One-Act Play “Wait Wait Bo Bait.” They were nominated by their speech coach Derek Cast members of “Wait Wait Bo Bait” Friederich. Of the group he said, “On November 3rd, we traveled across the state to attend the High School One-Act Festival at Dordt College. At the 3-day festival, our cast had the opportunity to attend theatre workshops, watch performances, experience college life and perform a play. I am very proud to say that our Pirates represented themselves, our Drama program and the school extremely well at the festival. I think our group was one of the most enthusiastic and they were always eager to jump right into the activities.” He added, “The cast did an excellent job performing their play. They had to adjust to acting and doing scene changes in a new space in a short amount of time. The students did a great job and even came with two awards for their one-act. I couldn’t be happier with our group of actors and I look forward to seeing what awesome things they will do in Speech this season!” Pirates of the Week are: Sierra Gonzalez, Andrew Hernandez, Justin Hileman, Jennifer Bernal, Emma Heins, Sapphire Miller, Kelsey Mucia, Litci Marroquin, Hailey Shipp, Veronica Santoyo, Taylor Rankin, Marcy Ixen and Sarah Miller.
