Stacey Meyer, PHS 1993, shares her expereinces in New Zealand (Editor’s Note: Stacey Meyer, originally from Postville, is a 1993 graduate of Postville High School. She is the daughter of Byron and Eileen Meyer of Postville. Stacey is sharing her experience of her recent trip to New Zealand. Printed below is the ﬁrst of a three part series.) I make it a challenge to go to at least one new destination each year. Typically my travels keep me in the states. This year though, it was the north island of New Zealand. I grew up just outside of Postville and graduated from Postville High School, class of ‘93. After college, I was fortune enough to start working for Marriott International. Since then, I have moved into

different roles within the company and transferred to several parts of the country. Four years ago, I transferred to Santa Barbara, CA to open a hotel. I feel extremely fortunate to live so close to the ocean and can appreciate things such as hearing sea lions at night when a window is open. One thing that has always been on my bucket list was to learn how to surf. Not to surf great necessarily, but just get up on a board. Living close to the water allowed me to get my ﬁll of kayaking and paddleboarding. I ﬁnally got up the nerve to sign up for a surf lesson.

honor our heroes who have protected our country with courage and dedication through all walks of life. He noted that military personnel are known to be ordinary people who rose to the Nation’s call, people who care about the future for themselves and others. He said, “I have tried to do my part as a member of the special forces. The training was not easy, but through it all I was able to learn that America will prevail and that there is life outside our individual bubbles. I learned to respect myself and others as well as learning the importance of respect and commitment. I encourage young and old to get to know a veteran in

Emiliano Castillo wins local competition in Lions International Peace Poster Contest Emiliano Castillo, a 6th grade student at Cora B Darling Elementary School, has taken the ﬁrst step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a local competition sponsored by the Postville Lions Club. Castillo’s poster was among more than 450,000 entries submitted worldwide in the annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest. Lions Clubs International is sponsoring the program to emphasize the importance of world peace to young people everywhere. “The music reunited us in a celebration of peace without caring about race, color, or religion,” the eleven-year-old from Postville said. The poster was selected by the lions poster committee for its originality, artistic merit and portrayal of the contest theme, “A Celebration of Peace.” The judging was held on October 26 at the Schroeder residence. Postville Lions Club President Linda Schierholz said she was impressed by the expression and creativity of the students at Cora B Darling Elementary School. “It is obvious that these young people have strong ideas about what peace means to them. I’m so proud that we were able to provide them with the opportunity to share their visions.” “Castillo’s poster will advance through the district, multiple

Janet found the pie which was hidden on page four of last week’s Herald. The pie was concealed in the ‘gutter’ near the bottom of the first column of the article entitled “Taylor inducted into NICC Alumna Hall of Fame.” Another pie is hiding somewhere inside the pages of today’s Herald.

On Saturday, October 22, 2016 the Postville Cub Scouts Pack 41 visited Effigy Mounds National Monument. With the help of Guide Cynthia, the scouts learned about the different burial mounds, native wildlife, and how people survived in the area many years ago. We took a stroll on the boardwalk to the bridge that crosses over the Yellow River. The scouts even learned about the different uses of animal hides.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, an opportunity to raise awareness of the high-quality care that’s available to families through our program.

Northern Lights to present a ‘Concert of Joy’ The Northern Lights will appear in concert at Decorah Lutheran Church Sunday, November 20, 2016 at 3 pm. The choral literature to be performed at this concert was selected because it demonstrates how music is a prime vehicle through which emotions can be expressed. Even when broken hearted, music can lift one’s spirits back to wholeness again. Through text and melody, the Northern Lights, comprised of sixty women representing a dozen communities of NE Iowa and SE Minnesota, aim to not only entertain but also inspire with their joyful music.

Ms. Kominami has performed extensively throughout North America both as a soloist and as a collaborator with other artists.

Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation donates $15,000 to Driftless Area Education and Visitor Center October 24, 2016 the Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation donated $15,000.00 to support the Driftless Area Education and Visitor Center at the UMGC Fall 2016 Grant Awards Banquet. The funds from the Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation will help fund interpretive displays for the Allamakee County Conservation Board’s Driftless Area Education and Visitor Center. The nearly complete 12,000 square foot facility will house nearly two full floors of interpretive displays, highlighting several important aspects of the Driftless Area. Some of the topics that will be covered in the displays include, but are not limited to: geology, rivers and streams, wildlife, industry, cultural history, and prominent people and places. It is the idea of the Conservation Board to show the public what the Driftless Area entails and encourage them to go explore it for themselves. They will be provided maps and information showcasing the many scenic byways the area has to offer, including the Driftless Area Scenic Byway, Rivers and Bluffs Scenic Byway, Great River Road National Scenic Byway, and the Mississippi River Trail. The visitor will also receive information about amenities and attractions along these byways that relate to the topics discussed in the Visitor Center to make their travels more enjoyable.

Living in Two Worlds "So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Revelation 3: 16 NIV Ambivalence, the holding of two contrary attitudes or feelings, is built into us. We are spiritual creatures who seek God while living in a material world. That there is much to love and savor about our physical existence makes the ambivalence all the more unsettling. We know that we should seek God’s kingdom first, but we hold tightly to the things of this world. How many of us could give everything away and completely trust in the Lord to provide for our needs? Ambivalence can be unsettling in many ways. Being attracted to something while simultaneously being repelled by it—think of the cheesecake that threatens to sabotage your successful diet—literally creates a mixture of positive and negative feelings that, for lack of a better word, just feels “yucky.” Psychologists tell us that positive and negative feelings tend to be processed by different sides of the brain, and those uncomfortable feelings of ambivalence are literally caused by our simultaneously experiencing opposing emotions. It would perhaps be better if the right hand did not know what the left hand was doing, but alas, we cannot ignore or hide from ambivalence. It is everywhere, in our significant relationships, in our passions and values, and in our very being. But where possible, we should minimize it. We can’t love our enemies as much as our friends and we shouldn’t love the world as much as we love God. – Christopher Simon

IRS warns tax professionals of new e-services email scam The Internal Revenue Service today issued an urgent alert to tax professionals who use IRS e-services to beware of an email asking them to update their accounts and directing them to a fake website. The subject line for the fraudulent email is “Security Awareness for Tax Professionals.” The “From” line is “Your e-Services Team.” It has both an IRS logo and an e-services logo that hyperlinks to a URL verified as a phishing site. The spoofing site poses as an e-services registration page. The scammers are attempting to exploit current IRS efforts to strengthen the e-services authentication process and its ongoing communications with tax professionals about their accounts. Scammers are attempting to steal e-services usernames and passwords or additional personal data through a registration page. If e-services users have already clicked on the fake logo and provided their username and password, they should contact the e-services help desk to reset their accounts. If the same password is used for other accounts, these should be changed as well. As an extra precaution, users should perform a deep security scan on their computers, re-evaluate their security controls and be alert to any other signs of identity theft or data compromise. Tax professionals should always go directly to IRS.gov to access e-services and never click on any links provided in emails. Tax professionals who receive a suspicious email should send it as an attachment to Phishing@irs.gov and then delete it. Recipients should not click on any links. The scammer email tells recipients that information was stolen from certain user accounts in 2015 from a state-sponsored actor. It says users are being asked to upgrade their e-service account to ensure protection of their information. It asks them to click on the login to access their accounts for security upgrade. The IRS is in the process of upgrading e-services security and has been in communication with tax professionals about updating their

High speed chase ends in Illinois A high speed chase which began early Monday morning near Postville ended in Illinois in Jo Daviess County at approximately 2:40 a.m. Deputies from Jo Daviess County ended a high-speed chase with stop sticks early Monday morning. The incident happened around 2:40 a.m. on November 13, 2016 in the area of Highway 20 and Wisconsin Avenue in East Dubuque, Ill. Deputies were notified by officials in Dubuque, Iowa that there was a vehicle pursuit heading across the Julien Dubuque Bridge

into Illinois. A deputy successfully deployed stop sticks, causing the front and back driver’s side tires to deflate. Officials say the suspect’s vehicle continued on for about two miles at speeds of between 80 and 100 mph., before becoming disabled. The suspect, 24-year-old Nathen E. Davis, was taken into custody and charged with aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, driving while license suspended, and on an arrest warrant from Ogle County for driving while license suspended.

Virgil Goes to Hollywood

Preparing for the Fall Play The Postville Drama Department is pleased to present “Virgil Goes to Hollywood” by Eddie McPherson. 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. Cast includes: Nash Reicks, Sierra Gonzalez, Jacob Steffans, Katherine Munoz, Nick Jacobs, Kelsey Mucia, Lakken Cox, Raymond Reinhardt, Cole Spain, Litci Marroquin, Mac Hughes, Owen Jacobson, Andrew Hernandez, Aldo Gonzalez, and Aboody Abdullahi.

THE ALTERNATIVE Fritz Groszkruger

Forty-six years ago I was a watermelon I was in college in Oakland and Senator Gaylord Nelson instigated Earth Day on a Wednesday in April so college students could participate to the fullest extent. They are malleable and the professors thought the cause was urgent enough that class could wait. Global cooling was the cause of the day and certainly a worthy concern. Throughout the centuries famine and civil unrest have accompanied cooler periods which, unlike today, came and went with changes in solar activity and geologic events (as opposed to human activity). Warm climatic periods have been times of bounty.

Veterans Day from front a meaningful way as each and every one has a unique story.” Following Rekow’s speech, he was applauded with a standing ovation. The high school chorus, under the direction of Stephanie Vagts, sang “In Flanders Field”, The band played a “Salute to America’s Finest” while veterans were asked to stand during the playing of their official song. Student council members presented a thank you to American Veterans while interjecting quotes from legendary American political and armed services leaders. The junior high chorus sang “My America”, followed by the Quilts of Valor Presentation. The program concluded with the Pledge of Allegiance and the students in grades K-6 singing “We Remember.” The assembly reconvened outside for a salute to the dead and the playing of taps by Alfonzo Vazquez and Kaitlen Leiran responding with the echo.

On Earth Day 1970 I marched with some sort of sign, probably denouncing corporations for polluting a swamp. I lived a block away from Oakland Tech High School, where Huey Newton went before founding the Black Panther Party. The Panthers, as we affectionately called them, conducted social programs for “the community” along with their more militant and violent activities. In other words, they were a microcosm of the federal government. In a quest for social justice, the Panthers and the government are tools for those who think they know the right thing to do and think that knowledge is exclusive to their exceptional minds. The real issue surrounding Earth Day should be whether government may be used to subsidize inefficient technology in unproven quests for a perfect world. I know most people consider Earth Day as a good time to clean up or plant trees. I picked up some trash out of the road ditch yesterday,

public property by the way. The problem comes when activists hijack the idea of recognizing the value of a clean environment and use it to justify trampling on the rights of others for their own utopian dreams or profits. Take Elon Musk’s Tesla as an example. I read last weekend about the new Tesla Model X. It is a seven passenger SUV that can go from zero to sixty miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. The cost is only $135,000. It qualifies for a Section 179 tax break of $25,000 because it can be used for business and has a gross vehicle weight over 6,000 pounds. It also qualifies for a $7,500 electric vehicle federal tax credit. But now California has added a means test for their tax incentive. Hardly anyone who subsidizes Tesla can afford one of their cars and we pay for the roads as well. All these benefits go to a company that is really no more green than Volkswagen when all the costs of mining, manufacturing, and

electricity are added up. And our Volkswagen can go three times as far between fill-ups. When I go to buy something I make a decision as to whether that thing is worth the effort I took to make the money. That process doesn’t apply to Tesla, or wind power for that matter. The money is spent for us without our consent. Some might say, as our son did upon a visit home from college years ago, that we did consent through our vote. As Charles Grassley once told me, “I don’t know. The courts just approved it over time.” Musk, Warren Buffet, and untold numbers of sly businessmen dream up threats and crises. Taxpayers gladly cough up the money to pay for a fix that never gets the job done, unless that job is lining the pockets of businessmen who make products that would never stand the test of real capitalism. I’m no longer green on the outside and red on the inside like a

Meyer New ZEALAND

were on the same flight while the other two in our group flew over a couple days earlier to enjoy the island. We got into Auckland International Airport at 7 a.m., Wednesday, September 14. New Zealand is just on the other side of the International date line so it is a day ahead. From the airport, we picked up a rental minivan and car, picked up our other two travelers, and started our drive to Raglan. Raglan is about a two hour drive south of Auckland on the east side of the island. The drive to Raglan was a view of miles of green hills filled with sheep and cattle. We drove into Raglan and met up with the manager of the Bach we were renting for the next three nights. Bach (pronounced “Batch”), is a small, modest beach house in New Zealand. The Bach in Raglan actually ended up being one of my favorites. It had three bedrooms with multiple beds, a large kitchen, and a wood burning stove. We were traveling in September which is the end of winter in New Zealand. The highs while we were there were in the mid 60’s Fahrenheit with the lows getting down to the lower

50’s. The stove came in handy at night. Nothing beats the warmth of a wood burning stove! One thing we noticed in each Bach that we stayed was that every house had a washer, but not a dryer. Hanging laundry out to dry was the way for most people it seemed even on the rainy days. After checking into our Bach, we headed into Raglan to check out the town. Raglan is a small beach town with about 5,000 people. What we learned from one of the local restaurant owners is that winters are quiet and summers are filled with holiday travelers. Many of the travelers come from Germany and France. We found a surf shop to rent our boards. There were at least four places in town to rent surfboards. We were able to get a deal at the Raglan Surf Emporium from a nice gentleman due to the slower time of year and our willingness to rent for an entire week. The day was coming to an end, but we decided to check out the surf before heading back to make dinner. Just outside of town is a surf spot know for the longest left hand break in the Southern Hemisphere. If the conditions are right, you can catch the wave and ride it for about an entire mile.

from front Once I took the lesson, got up on the board (only one time I think), I felt like I had accomplished my goal. After the lesson was over, the instructor told me about a yearly membership with a surf group with unlimited lessons, trips, etc. You didn’t have to ask me twice, I was in! The reason I am mentioning all this is that it leads up to the trip. Our group has had short weekend trips just over the border into Baja, but never anything on a major scale. We had three students (including myself) and two instructors slated to take the trip to New Zealand. My flight out of LAX was on Monday, September 12. The flight out was at 11:20 p.m. I thought it would be the worst time of day to go, but it ended up being the best. I was able to sleep through a large portion of the 12 hour flight and fill the rest of the time with a couple movies. The two surf instructors

watermelon. I’m green through and through because I know that strict enforcement of private property rights is a better path to a clean environment. As I write this, it is tax day. When you read this it will be Earth Day. The two are more

Letter to the Editor Honoring our veterans

What a wonderful special program was held at our school to honor veterans Friday. I am very grateful to the school staff and students who so graciously honored us veterans. It is a blessing to live in a community that is so patriotic and kind to pay tribute to all of us who served in our military forces. Chief Warrant Officer Jay Rekow delivered an excellent message. He has served 21 years in a highly elite group called Special Forces with hazardous duty overseas and has been awarded

Thanks again to all the coaches, workers and players for a good season.” Community Projects Along with their dedication to the sport, the team also worked on several community projects throughout the year. They include: helping to clean up at Dr. Weston’s home as they moved to Decorah and helping move and prepare flood supplies for the Presbyterian Church as they donated supplies to flood victims in Decorah. Several of the boys helped at YSF (youth) football games on Sunday afternoons in October. Many of the team members served lunch to elementary students throughout the season and also greeted students at the elementary school during the first week of the season and during homecoming.

As a ﬁnal comment, Steege said, “These young men do much more than play football. They serve their community. The lesson we want them to learn is not always about blocking and tackling, but also about making a difference in the community in which they live.”
