Vinton journalists bring home INA awards
There was a rare absence for a Vinton-Shellsburg basketball game Friday evening. The familiar cap and camera belonging to Cedar Valley Daily Times/Vinton Eagle sports editor Josh Berhow were not in the customary place at the corner of the court near the home team’s basket.
Josh was not at his usual place in Vinton on Friday night because he was in Des Moines, receiving two awards from the Iowa Newspaper Association. I'm dreaming of a...sidewalk!

My Selfless Neighbors
Russ Hupfeld and John Schoettmer are two of the best neighbors a person could ask for.
