Organizers of the Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (S.A.L.T.) program have announced the next S.A.L.T. Meeting will be held Thursday, February 3, 2022, at the Montgomery Memorial Library in Jewell, Iowa. The event will begin at 9:00 a.m. with a breakfast social and free blood pressure checks conducted by Van Diest Medical Center.
The meeting will get underway at 9:30 a.m. with updates from local and county law enforcement officers as well as reports from county agencies and communities throughout Hamilton County. The program will feature long-time Hamilton County resident Anne Sherve-Ose, author, retired teacher and avid canoeist. Anne spent parts of 13 years paddling the Mississippi River, from the headwaters in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. She will be talking about her book, Mississippi Misadventures, and recounting the flying carp, violent storms, alligators, sharing the river with huge barge trains – all of which spiced up the daily grind of paddling the mighty Mississippi. Sherve-Ose taught music at Northeast Hamilton in Blairsburg, St. Thomas Aquinas School in Webster City, and Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls. She lives on a farm near Williams and now enjoys the luxury of being retired.
S.A.L.T. Meetings are free and the public is encouraged to attend. Meetings are held bi-monthly at different locations throughout Hamilton County.
