Outlook Editor’

Antiques chug through Luana Nolan Porter

Outlook editor A car and its driver “fuels” up his steam powered car with water at the Luana Fire Department, Tuesday, September 13, 2016. About 16 cars stopped in Luana as part of their five-day tour in this part of the country. They made stops in Prairie du Chien, Luana and Decorah, just to name a few. The cars were transported from all over the country, with some coming from as far as Texas, Vermont and other states in between. Each year a different “host” is chosen and then the group of drivers go to where that person is. This year, a man from Oelwein set up the plans and trip for his fellow antique riders. The steam created from the fire, produced by a kerosene source, powers the cars steam engine. Being as kerosene is not produced

in mass, a mixture of diesel and gasoline is used to fuel the fire. The cars have very few moving parts and can reach a top speed of about 40 miles per hour. The cars range from 1910 to 1914 models and most of them are from the Stanley Steamer Company. They have a simple two-cylinder engine located in the back that gives direct power to the wheels. The steam produced is vented out the back. The front seats look completely normal, except there are an excess of gauges and valves that help control the car and its power source. All of the steering wheels are on the right side of the car, while the gauges sit on the dashboard, center in the car. Since the cars do not move as fast as modern ones, they kept to back roads as they made their trip around the Northeast Iowa country side.

The MFL MarMac School Board appointed members that ranged from president to investigators, on Monday, September 12, 2016. The board had to first nominate and then vote on the positions. All positions were filled and all nominees were voted on unanimously. Gina Roys, board chairperson. Sharon Greener, vice chairperson. Cindy Koons, board secretary and treasurer. Brian Gruhn Law firm and Lynch Dallas Law firm, board legal Counsel. Dale Crozier and Denise Mueller, level one investigators. Greg Schiller, level two investigator. Jonathan Moser,

Clayton County conference board. Dale Crozier brought to light that MFL MarMac was spending well above average on per pupil transportation cost. Due to the fact that MFL is mostly rural, the cost is up, costing the school roughly $115,000 each year. Crozier stated that this is not a simple thing to equalize and plans to expound on the subject at a later time in his column. There is a lack of funds coming from the state to support the special education program. There is an estimated $7000 the state allots to the program, but that is not enough. The plan is to request supplemental state aide. Steppin’ Out with the Dogs, will be held October 5. That is a day

where everyone can enjoy walking around and getting some exercise. Stopping by the school, in the near future, will be an eyeglass van from Visions to Learn. The services offered will provide free examines to students and two pairs of glasses. They operate in Iowa, California, Hawaii, Maryland and Vermont exclusively. In January they were in Dubuque, Maquoketa, and Andrew. The program helps low-income family provides free eyewear to students that need them. It was reported that out of the 300 students, only 16 did not come out for the Meet the Teachers night. The next school board meeting will be held in the McGregor Middle School media center.

Casey’s Store to break ground soon Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor The planned Casey’s General Store is expected to break ground soon, according to Casey’s director of finance, Sam James. The new store is aiming for a February to March open date, depending on the weather. The store will be about 3300 square feet and will have four fuel pumps. The store will offer all the classic services that Casey’s has been known for. These include pizza, donuts and a coffee area, to name a few. Casey’s has half of its stores located in towns with population under 3500.

“We are excited to get the store up and running and to serve the community of Monona,” James said in an email. Birdnow Chevrolet of Monona is losing some of its current lot space, since the store will be built adjacent the dealership. Mark Birdnow, owner of Birdnow dealerships, was excited to have a new neighbor: “I just wanted to say that I am pleased to be able to help in the business growth of Monona. It’ll be a great addition to the business landscape of the town and hopefully it will attract more people to come this way, and be good for customer traffic at our store. Besides they make really good pizza!”

Simple precautions at home can help keep baby safe “September is Baby Safety Month- an excellent opportunity to remind families to make sure their home is safe for that little one,” states Chris Schroeder, RN, Obstetrical Services Director. “The first year of a baby’s life is a time of remarkable growth and numerous milestones as they start to roll over and sit up. From the time they venture out for those first steps, to every stage of their development, make sure all their stumbles are harmless. Parents, grandparents and caregivers can make every attempt to keep little ones safe, but mishaps and falls are still possible. Every effort is a step toward keeping children safe and secure.” Here are a few tips to help keep those babies safe. Keep babies and young children strapped in when using high chairs, swings or strollers. Don't leave your baby unattended on beds, changing tables or other furniture. When placing your baby into a carrier, remember to place the carrier on the floor, not on top of tables or other furniture. For those toddlers that are

crawling and climbing, move chairs, cribs and other furniture away from windows to help prevent window falls. Window screens are meant to keep bugs out, not children in. Properly install window guards to prevent unintentional window falls. For windows above the ground level, include an emergency release device in case of fire. A stationary activity center gives babies a chance to practice standing and moving safely. Look for one that is on a stable, non-moveable base and place it away from stairs, hot appliances or window cords. Secure televisions and furniture to the wall using mounts, brackets, braces, anchors or wall straps to prevent tip-overs. Make sure your child’s car safety seat is the proper seat for their age, and properly installed in your vehicle. Use approved safety gates at the tops and bottoms of stairs and attach them to the wall, if possible. Remember to read the manufacturer's instructions and warning labels to make sure you have the right gate for your needs. Not all gates are safe for use at the top of the stairs. If you are placing your child in a

shopping cart seat, use a harness or safety belt. If the belt is missing or broken, select another cart. Chris Schroeder adds, “A reminder to area families- free child car seat checks are available at Crossing Rivers Health Family Resource Center in Prairie du Chien. Call 608-357-2135 to make an appointment with Amanda Nagel or Hollie Waterman, Certified Car Seat Technicians, to make sure the child has the right seat and that the seat is installed correctly. Expectant parents are encouraged to learn about child car seats by contacting Family Resource Center as well so that they are prepared to take their newborn on their first ride safe and securely in their car seat.” For additional health and safety tips, area residents are encouraged to visit crossingrivers. org. The website features the services and programs available through Crossing Rivers Health and Crossing Rivers Health Clinics as well as e-newsletters, health assessments and tools, and a health information library. And remember to like Crossing Rivers Health and Family Resource Center on Facebook!

Outlook editor The visitors listen intently as Elmer Marting describes bits of history of the Monona at the historical museum, Friday, September 16, 2016. The Monona Historical Museum hosted a group from Garden View so they could listen and share

stories about the past of Monona. They discussed the old Main Street and where businesses were located. The group was encouraged to share what they could remember about the town. Many were able to collaborate and expand on topics brought up by Marting. This was also a chance to capture memories and fill in gaps in Mononaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

Wednesday, September 21, 2016 | The Outlook

Election day looms There is something that I dread and get a little nervous meaning it must be an election year. Presidential elections will soon be upon us and everyone will get to have a sigh of relief when it is all said and done. Who isn’t tired of the candidate’s faces plastered all over TV and the Internet? This election cycle seems different than ones in years past, or at least ones that I have been around to see and understand. If my American history is up to par, I think this election will have some of the most disliked candidates in recent history. It doesn’t matter which side you are on, most can agree that neither are what we really wanted. No, this is not about the system; this is about the two candidates running to control the most influential country in the world. I am not going to declare whom I am voting for nor am I going to break down each candidate. First it would make a lot of people mad and I would be the very last person to do that in the news business. I just want to remind people that they are voting for the candidate and not the party. There have been life long party members that are going to vote straight ticket. This is how it has been for a while. They don’t seem to know much about the candidate they are voting for, but they can tear down the opposing one with ease. That has always baffled me. How can you say terrible, untrue things about the candidate you don’t like, when you barely know anything about the one you are voting for? People are loyal to the party, which means the party has picked the right candidate and the voters trust their party to do all the thinking. The thing is, this year has proven that this may be the farthest thing from the truth. It is hard to say that the system failed, being as the people voted for both candidates

to lead the party. So the people got what they wanted right? It is too late to change horses, as it were. All of us, no matter what party, have to deal with who was chosen. My problem is that I hear more and more people just vote blindly. Again, they think party is more important than candidate. The party is supposed to guide the elected and support them. Candidates are supposed to align themselves with the party platform (which changes). This does not mean they are bound to do what the party wants. This means they have the support of the party. And sometimes the party is split over the candidate choice. Party is just a way of creating a huge divide among whoever is running for election, so that voters can have a black and white choice This year, voters need to ignore the party (as everyone should anyway) and focus on the person. The obvious answer is to watch TV and let the talking heads do the thinking for the viewer. The problem with 24 hour news sources are very unreliable, being as they want ratings and money. There are a few decent reports and reputable newscasters, but they are controlled by the holding companies of the news stations. Print and the Internet are the way to go when it comes down to finding the finer details. So just read one website and make a decision right? No! That may be as bad as just watching one news station. People need to learn to think for themselves. If a candidate has a quote, look it up. But not just on one site, many sites. See if the quote was taken out of context, or see if they went back on their word. About 95 percent of what is on the Internet is just opinion or straight up lies. Besides real news sites, there is rarely anything true on the Internet. And yes, that means Facebook. Just because your next-door neighbor post something

The wall Nolan Porter Outlook Editor

on Facebook, it does not mean it is real. Most of the time, those post have no truth to them at all. The main point I am trying to make is how well do you know the candidates? When was the last time you sat down and looked up what they had to say about issues that are important to you? Look for what they said directly about that issue then look up what they have done/said in the past about it. Most importantly: think for yourself. Do not let the TV or the Internet tell you what to think. Take everything at face value. It may seem like I sound like some skeptical, negative person but this is the future of America we are talking about. The best way to learn is to watch the debates closely. Presidential debates are coming up very soon. Watch, listen and think. Who is the moderator? What kind of questions did they ask? Were they easy or tough for the candidate? Were the answers defensive or aggressive? Elections bring a lot of questions and debates are supposed to bring answers. But make sure you don’t just take the answers you want to hear and ignore answers that no one wants to hear. Read between the lines and discover what is really going on. Above all else this election I only ask one thing from all the voters: make the right choice and know whom you are really voting for.

I am constantly bombarded with email forwards about the dastardly deeds and potential dangers of Islamic extremism and other foreign interlopers. A wall on the Mexican border has become the popular solution. This will supposedly protect American workers from the unfair competition of people who want to work hard. And the jihadis will not be able to get through and blow things up. The claim that “illegals” are receiving benefits that should be reserved only for citizens opens up a topic that is largely ignored but the most important of all. It could be argued that non-citizens are less deserving of someone else’s property. I contend that no one is deserving of anyone else’s property. A lot of this discussion is driven by a desire for prosperity and prosperity can only come from the fruits of our labor staying with us. Otherwise, incentive to produce is reduced or eliminated. Socialist governments fail because we can’t fight human nature. The law exists because selfishness invariably impacts other people who deserve to keep what they’ve earned. To claim that our country is in danger because foreigners can take “our benefits” validates those benefits, and those benefits are more destructive than the invaders themselves. Among the benefits at risk are all the socialistic programs that are dragging this country down. Social Security has replaced a family structure where grandparents cared for the children of their working children. The children later cared for the grandparents. It worked fine. Family has more innate incentive to care for each other than the faceless bureaucracy of government office workers.

Gratitude plays a big part as well. Government drinking ages and drug laws have taught us that we are not responsible for our actions. When bad things happen because of drugs or alcohol we first say, “where did they get it” rather than, “how foolish or disrespectful.” This leads to further calls to replace self respect and respect for others with state mandates. State mandates don’t inspire love and respect, they produce defiance, black markets, crime, and skyrocketing costs. If our country’s laws merely protected our property rather than trying (unsuccessfully) to manage, improve, insure, incentivize, equalize, and coddle our lives then a much smaller government could make it impossible for terrorists or welfare cheats to survive here. And they would either return home or become contributing members of society. A military that defends our borders instead of the rest of the world could make the border a filter, not a wall that excludes valuable contributors along with the ones we should keep out. It would also keep that military from creating more disasters around the world that come to haunt us later. Build the wall for a bandaid if you’ve given up on our republic. Or eliminate theft from our government’s duties in order to solve domestic problems and keep us safe from invaders. A wall might keep out a few criminals. But our welfare state produces them right here at a much higher rate. Comments on this article are welcome as a letter to the paper or to me at 4selfgovernment@ gmail.com.

International Steinway Artist Jim Mc Donough to perform at Waukon High School October 9 20 Years After Serving as Waukon High School Band Director International Steinway Artist, Jim McDonough, who is a former Waukon High School band director, will be returning to perform 20 years later to the town where he started his teaching career. The solo piano concert, sponsored by the Allamakee Music Boosters, will be performed Sunday, October 9th at 2:00 p.m. in the Waukon High School Auditorium. Jim McDonough came to Waukon in the summer of 1996 as a first year teacher at Waukon High School. Even though he only stayed in the district for one year, his band achieved a high level of performance. However, Jim had aspirations beyond teaching. His life over the next five years took a few twists and turns before he started a career as a solo pianist. For the past 15 years he has been recording CD’s that are sold through trade shows and small town businesses, such as Hartig Drug in Waukon, and performing seasonal concerts throughout the mid-west and surrounding states. “I had the honor to work with Jim when he was the High School Band Director here 20 years ago and am thrilled he has agreed to this concert,” states JoAnn Sherman, current Waukon High School Band Director. “I knew when he was teaching here that he was a talented musician, but after having seen him perform at one of his concerts, I can say that he is amazing! His concerts have music for all generations. Everyone in attendance will be glad they came to this concert.”

The program is designed to give a quick, yet comprehensive check on how well an older driver and their vehicle work together. Crossing Rivers Health will conduct free CarFit check-ups

International Steinway Artist, Jim McDonough will be Sunday, October 9 at 2:00 p.m. in the Waukon High School Auditorium.

Tickets for McDonough’s concert in Waukon are on sale now at Farmers and Merchants Savings Bank, Kerndt Brothers Savings Bank and Waukon State Bank as well as Hartig Drug, all in Waukon. Tickets will also be available at the door, if they are not all previously sold out. “We are so excited to be able to bring this fantastic musical opportunity to the community,” states Erin Berns of the Allamakee Music Boosters. “The Music Boosters have a goal each year to

offer a professional musical event locally for the public in appreciation for all of the support we receive each year. We are thrilled to welcome such a talented performer back to Waukon on his 20th anniversary and hope we have a great crowd for the concert.” For questions on the concert, please call Allamakee Music Booster board members Erin Berns at 563-535-7509 or Shelly Lydon at 563-568-8670 or email waukonmusical@live.com.

Outlook editor Before hybrid and gasoline powered cars were the only way to travel on the roads. Steam powered cars were very popular during the early 1900’s. The cars became the standard form of transportation besides rail. The steam engine has a very long history that can date back to Greece around 1 AD. People had seen what happened when water was heated and thus steam was created. However, it wasn’t until 1690 when steam was used to move a piston. Steam was used as a pumping device in the late 1690’s, when the pressure of steam in a vacuum sucked water up. The steam engine that actually powered a device was invited in 1720 by Jacob Leupold. It was a two-piston system in which steam pushed the pistons up. Leupold helped invent large steam engines that power factories and other large applications. The problem with the Leupold engine was that it was too large and used low-pressure steam. It was good for slow, large engines, but that meant a much smaller engine had to be invented for a more portable size. The simple answer to the size problem was just increasing the pressure of steam. This meant more power could be produced on a much smaller scale. Leupold was against this, fearing exploding boilers. However, as is the way of technology, a high-powered steam was invited. Englishman William Murdoch created a more efficient model based off of an earlier French design. He created a small engine that was attached to three wheels that he demonstrated in his living room. Murdoch showed his little model to Richard Trevithick who invited the first success car powered by steam. In 1801, the first steam powered car ride took place when Trevithick took a party of six on a ride during Christmas Eve. He started to focus his work on train locomotives and stopped working on cars. Also a series of accidents, including his new

Occupational therapists are also on hand to provide a consultation, if needed, that will teach drivers how to maintain and improve aspects related to their driving health. The therapist can also provide information to participants addressing individual needs, including information about local community resources on exercise, nutrition and other programs to help keep them safe on the road. “It is critically important that mature drivers make safety a personal priority,” added Christine Krueger. “Driving today is more difficult than ever because of increased traffic congestion, longer commute distances, new technology and faster speeds. Older drivers can take important measures to mitigate the stress associated with driving.”

If you are unsure if Assisted Living is right for you, car exploding days later, meant less people had faith in steam power. The idea of a steam powered car caught on across the Atlantic. Soon England and the United States based companies started to produce steam-powered cars. It wasn’t until the late 1800’s when cars were being produced in mass, even though they were still toys for the rich. At the turn of the century, only a few companies were around to produce the cars in a mass quantity. One of those companies was Stanley Motor Carriage Company. Twins Freelan and Francis Stanley founded the company in 1902 after they sold their photo business to Kodak. They produced cars before 1902, but not under the Motor Carriage Company. They had created a popular wood framed model called the Locomobile, but sold the rights and began working on the car style pictured here. They were one of the few companies that still produced steam-powered cars. Steam was the way to travel, being as gasoline had been dangerous and not as efficient as steam. Steam cars used kerosene and once the boiler was heated, they could take off at great speeds. The land speed record for an automobile

was held by a Stanley steam car, which was recorded at 127 MPH in 1906, until it was broken in 1911. Gasoline cars were on the road, but they had to be hand cranked and were not efficient compared to steam. Once gasoline engines became more efficient and the electric ignition was invited, steam powered cars started to become obsolete fairly quickly. Also, steam cars had a limited speed and were very expensive to buy. The Ford Model-T was far cheaper, faster and safer than any steam car. Even though steam cars were still being driven, they were not selling as well. The Stanley Company stopped producing cars in 1924. Steam cars went out of style very quickly and did not last long into the 1920’s. They are now seen as collectibles and valued very highly. Although they did not last long, they helped people move around the country at a fast pace than horse and carriage. Had it not been for the Model-T and the electric ignition, steam powered cars might have lasted much longer than what they did.

From pools to ponds Help your family enjoy water safely!

National Education Center for Agricultural Safety to observe National Farm Safety & Health Week The (NECAS) at Northeast Iowa Community College’s (NICC) Peosta campus will be sponsoring webinars in observance of National Farm Safety & Health Week, September 18 – 24. The 2016 theme for National Farm Safety & Health Week is “ Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of.”The webinars scheduled for each day of the week will be available at www.necasag.org, as well as more information and public service announcements related to this year’s theme. This year the NECAS webinars, offered each day at noon, will cover the following themes: Monday - Agrability Tuesday – Health Wednesday - Children’s Day Thursday – Confined Spaces Friday – Underground Utilities NECAS also invites everyone to join them for ‘AgChat’ on Tuesday, September 20, from 7 - 9 p.m. (CST)

The theme “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of ” reminds local and rural communities that agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. and farm injuries and fatalities are preventable through education. The most recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicates that in 2014 farming accounted for 568 fatalities, with an estimated 70,000 injuries. Each year since 1944, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety & Health Week. This recognition has been an annual promotion initiated by the National Safety Council and has been proclaimed as such by each sitting U.S. President since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the first document. Over the years, the development and dissemination of National Farm Safety & Health Week materials shifted from the National Safety Council to NECAS. NECAS is the agricultural partner for the National Safety Council and has been serving the agricultural

family and business community since 1997. As we recognize National Farm Safety & Health Week this September, please join us in promoting safe and healthy practices on our farms and ranches across the U.S. and in our neighboring countries as producers enter the harvest season. NECAS welcomes the collaboration and participation of community members in this year’s observance, and would like to thank the Illinois Farm Bureau for its work in developing the “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of” logo this year. For more information, contact: Gloria Reiter, NECAS administrative assistant, at (888) 844-6322, ext. 371, or reiterg@ nicc.edu; or Dan Neenan, NECAS director, at (888) 844-6322, ext. 248, or neenand@nicc.edu. Additional information about NECAS is available at www. necasag.org.

Education Content Specialist for Progressive Agriculture Foundation From May through September, fun family gatherings bring together children for various activities including camping, cookouts, and of course swimming. When the weather gets hot, the perfect place to cool off is a pool, lake or stream. Unfortunately, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among 1 to 4 year olds according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). Many of these drowning deaths and water- related injuries are highest in the warm weather months. On average, 4,900 children ages 15 & under are treated for water-related injuries in hospital’s emergency departments each year. With May serving as National Water Safety Month, this is the perfect time to talk with your children about water safety and

Stay within an arm’s reach of young children while in the water and avoid distractions.   • Make sure everyone in your family learns to swim.   • Never swim alone – always have a buddy!   • Useproperly-fitted personal flotation devices.Always wear life vests when  boating.   • Obey signs about rules and potential dangers.   • Enter the water feet first (one foot at a time) and never dive into shallow water.   • Ensure farm ponds are fenced and barriers are in place around

home pools or  hot tubs.   • Have rescue equipment by the water.If you have a friend out in the water–  remember to Reach, Throw, Don’t Go into the water, but Go for Help!   Last year, water safety was a lesson offered at 40% of Progressive Agriculture Safety Days® that took place throughout North America. Hands-on activities designed to reinforce water safety is taught using verbal, visual and hands-on learning opportunities. These safety tips are examples of what children & families learn when they attend a Safety Day. To date, more than 1.4 million children & adults have been impacted by a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® in their local community. Learn more about the program at www.progressiveag. org.

Let’s strive to keep children SAFE on the farm and with “A Legacy to be Proud of!” The International Society for Agricultural Safety and Health (ISASH) devotes Wednesday of Farm Safety and Health week to keeping children on farms, ranches and in rural areas safe and healthy. Let’s leave our children with “A Legacy to be Proud of!” Sadly, the statistics are devastating! Every 3 days a child dies and every day 33 children are injured due to agriculturalrelated incidents. Protecting our future generation needs to be a top priority! Following these 3 tips can help protect our future generation of farmers. 1. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) can help prevent health issues in adulthood. • Skin cancer is often linked to severe sunburns and sun exposure during childhood. Provide children with sunscreen and wide brim hats when in the sun.   • Encourage use of hearing protection to prevent hearing loss due to exposure to loud noises often found on the farm.   2. Children visiting the farm need protection too. • Non-farm families visiting the farmstead may not understand safe practices regarding animals, chemicals and equipment. Establish and

enforce rules for all visitors to ensure safety and avoid farmrelated incidents.   • Supervision is important for all children, but especially for those unfamiliar with farming.   • Make the play area more fun than the farmstead.   3. Safety first means safety always and for everyone. • Teach children what to do in the event of a fire, severe weather and other emergency situations. Instruct them on dialing 911 and knowing the physical address of the farm.   • Role model safe behavior and do not allow extra riders on tractors and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Never allow children to play in grain bins.   • Teach children how to properly use farm equipment before assigning them to any farm task and supervise them especially close when they are new to a task.   Wednesday, September 21, 2016 is Farm Safety & Heath Week’s Children and Youth Day  Think about the safety and health of your children every week of the year!

For young children that cannot read labels, many products around the home can look like popular candy or drinks. Even products that can be good for you, like vitamins and medicines, can become harmful if you do not follow the label directions. In the U.S., poisoning is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death, and nearly 9 out of 10 poisoning deaths are caused by drugs according to the NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics). In 2012, unintentional poisonings were the leading cause of injury death in the U.S. surpassing motor vehicle crashes. Here are some common poison look-a-likes you may find around your home: • Gummy Bears vs. Gummy Vitamins   • Chocolate vs. Laxatives   • Sports Drinks & Juice vs. Household Cleaners & Mouthwash   • Candy vs. Laundry or Dishwasher Pods   • Gum vs. Nicotine Gum   • Water vs. Bleach or Rubbing Alcohol   • Shredded Beef Jerky vs. Chewing Tobacco   • Kraft Parmesan Cheese Container vs. Comet Cleanser Container   • Toothpaste vs. bath tub caulking • Eye Drops vs. Super Glue Chemical safety is a very popular topic taught at Progressive Agriculture Safety Days® and was offered at 53% of Safety Days last year. During Safety Days,

participants learn they should never touch or put anything in their mouth unless they are positive what it is or unless a trusted adult tells them it is safe. As parents, grandparents and caring adults, it is our responsibility to be proactive in keeping children safe. Be sure to: Label harmful products and place them out of reach of children   Avoid moving poisons or chemicals from their original container   Lead by example and use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when handling  chemicals   Keep the telephone number of the Poison Control Center (1-800222-1222) in a  place easy to locate in case of an emergency.  These chemical safety tips are examples of what children & families learn when they attend a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® offered throughout North America. To date, more than 1.4 million children & adults have been impacted by a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® in their local community. Learn more about the program at www.progressiveag. org

The ability to move over rough terrain with ease has meant that the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) has become as common on farms as the tractor and plow. The ATV is a great away to zoom around on the farm, checking on fields and livestock. However, there are many safety concerns that come with ATVs. There are an average of 700 deaths and 100,000 injuries related to ATV accidents every year, meaning that proper handling and safety can save peoples lives. The best way to ensure that everyone is safe on and around an ATV is to follow some basic rules. -Always wear protection. This includes a helmet, gloves, goggles, long pants and long sleeve shirts. -Stay off of pave roads. Drivers of cars may not be able to slow down in time to avoid an accident. • Only have the driver be on the ATV. This allows for freedom of movement when needed and a passenger should not impair the driver from shifting weight, it needed. • Use ATVs that fit the rider. Anyone under the age of 16 is not supposed to be on an adult model. • No child under the age of 6 should be allowed on ATVs. • Children who want to ride should attend an ATV training school. This will allow them to learn and get taught how to be responsible riders. • Make is sure your ATV is well maintained. High school senior CJ Nagel was riding his dirt bike recently and lost control since the rear tire was balding. He fractured his shoulder after he landed hard on the ground. Although it was a dirt bike and not an ATV, the same principle applies. One of the biggest points about riding an ATV is having a safe mindset. An ATV is not a toy and can have serious ramifications if it is not respected. If an ATV is respected and rode with a safe mindset, then ATVs can be a great tool to work

with and play on. Farm worker health Farmers come in all shapes and sizes, meaning that almost anyone can farm. The problem is when the elderly try to do the same duties that they have been doing for decades. Not only is farm work hard, it is also strenuous on the body. Older farm workers have increased rates of injury to themselves and to others around them. There are many things that factor into aging farmers and accidents. The best way to make sure you are farm healthily is to make frequent visits with your local doctor. Have your eyesight checked out more often. Vision and reaction time are very important when it comes to safe farming. Keeping up with vision changes and glasses prescriptions can save you a lot of hassle. A general doctor check up is always nice too. Make sure your heart can take a long days work. In the heat, the risk of a heart attack increases so make sure that you have a healthy heart. Drinking lots of water and resting is another simple and easy way to prevent accidents. If a farmer gets fatigued, then will have a slower reaction time and will make more mistakes. Take it nice and slow on hot days. There is no reason to rush, because soon you might be getting rushed to a hospital. Finally, and most importantly, know your own limitations. No one wants to admit they are slowing down or getting weaker. There is no shame in admitting you can’t finish a job or are too tired to continue. Getting old is not fun and admitting that is not easy for some to do. Even a bruised ego is better than someone who pushed themselves too hard and hurt themselves or others.

MFL MarMac School acquires new staff members

A Freshman’s transition

media class journalists Not all change is bad. Do you remember when you were a freshman and thought you were going to be in high school forever? A survey of the new freshman population told us what their thoughts are about entering the beginning of their high school career. From the group of freshman that were interviewed some of the things they all agreed on is that their freshman year so far isn’t too

easy, but isn’t so hard, it’s just time consuming work. A good amount of freshman shared that they are not as worried as they thought. The majority of freshman think that Mrs. Jones is their favorite

teacher. Freshman surveyed have also stated that one of the scariest parts of coming to high school is the transition of schools, but once it happened they realized it wasn’t as scary as they thought.

I took some time and sat down with Mrs. McGeough to ask her a few questions about the newly formed group. She says she decided to start this group because she heard about it from other schools in the surrounding area. This group gives all students a chance to be part of a group that will enhance their self-esteem and leadership skills while learning how to say no to negative peer

but moved to Prairie Du Chien in the mid 1980’s. After Mrs. Martin’s moved to Prairie du Chien she decided to attend the Prairie Du Chien High School. Soon after this, Mrs. Martin’s graduated and soon went on to get a Bachelor’s Degree from Upper Iowa University, as well as her Master’s degree at UNI. She decided to go with teaching as a career because it allowed her to move around during the day

and do many different activities. She also decided to teach at MFL MarMac because everyone is friendly and helping. Mrs. Martin’s has three kids, her son Tristan, is twenty and attends UW-Platteville, she also has two daughters, Kelleigh, age twelve and Claire, age ten, her hobbies include painting, and repurposing junk. We welcome both of these teachers to our school and wish them a great year!

Last teachers standing on a Tuesday during study hall or as needed. Recently, two of MFL MarMac senior students were elected president and vice president. Those two will be President Cole Willie and VP Alex McNally. Congrats!

MFL MarMac cracks down on rules At first it’s a concept hard to adjust to, but then it all seems to get easier. Coming into the 201617 school year MFL MarMac has gotten a new principal and along with that comes many new rules. In previous years, the students have been able to have phones out between class periods, have any kind of drinks and have snacks in their bags, have special parking spots and were able to eat their lunch in lobby and halls. However, many of those privileges are no longer allowed. The status quo now is that students can only have their phones out before and after school and during lunchtime. They can only have water to drink in clear water bottles, and food can only be eaten in the cafeteria during lunchtime. In addition to that, students are not allowed to use microwaves to warm up food they’ve brought from home. Students approached the student council and asked them to advocate for the entire student body regarding the clear water bottles because many students didn’t own a clear one. Now, thanks to the students council meeting with Mr. Meyer and advocating, translucent water bottles are acceptable. But, the students are still not allowed to have any sort of snack in their bags. Along with these changes, you can only have food in the lunch room and can not use any microwave to warm up leftovers. In addition, in the past years, seniors always got to pick their parking spots first and with the new principal it’s a new rule called “first come first serve.” Lastly, another new rule includes senior release privileges. Students who are in sports cannot have senior release at the end of the day. Many new rules have many students upset about these such changes. We asked students their opinions about the new rules and some were very upset. We also asked teachers about their opinions about the new rules and in general the responses were that they liked the new rules. They feel as though they help our school run smoothly and keeps our students safe. “Having rules and boundaries set in place allows our students a chance to be more successful.” Some students responded, “the water bottles being clear is very understandable, although at first they were a little upset when Camelbak’s weren’t allowed because that’s all they had. Now that we can

Mrs. Martins and Mr. Tripp are two new teachers here at MFL Mar Mac. Mr. Tripp originated from Council Bluffs, IA and graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs while driving his 89 ranger. Mr.Tripp attended Luther College after completing High School. Riding bike, gardening, and reading are some of the hobbies Mr.Tripp enjoys in his free time. He has two children Eben who is 5 years old and Campbell who is 1 year old. After living in Mexico for half a year at the age of 20, Mr.Tripp discovered that trying to communicate in a new language and traveling to foreign places made him feel very alive. Mr.Tripp is excited to begin his opportunity to teach four levels of Spanish. Mrs. Martins the other new face here at MFL MarMac, Mrs. Martins grew up in New York,

have those though, it’s understandable and students see why. “I don’t have an issue anymore.” Many of the seniors stated they don’t like the idea of not having their own special parking spot and its unfair. One student says, “We have been waiting for so long to finally get this “reward” and it is taken away from us.” Seniors added that “If there was an accident or someone was trying to look for someone’s car it will be way harder to do so now.” Students are opposed to the limitations of eating where and what they want. “I don’t really like it because it prevents me from eating breakfast and feeling fully energized for volleyball after school.” Students involved in sports also added “It’s hard for those of us in sports to have a balanced diet, and in general people are supposed to have six small meals a day and how are we supposed to do that with not being able to have small snacks throughout the day?” Still other students assert, “I think it’s unfair that teachers get to have what they want to drink and are allowed to have snacks. Why should we be the only ones who have to have water through the day? Why can’t we have a granola bar or fruit snacks for snacks?” They also reason, “Elementary has snack time, why can’t we? And, if we can only have water why is there juice and milk in the vending machine in the lobby?” Along with the no snack rule teachers are unable to give out candy treats with games. The math teachers used to give out mints and lifesavers for review games. We interviewed one of the teachers and her reaction was that “this new policy was my easy out to not buying mints and life savers anymore for games. Giving out candy was something that I had started and therefore felt guilty when I thought about ending that. This new policy made it easy for me to quit giving out candy. It also avoids the spills and mess I occasionally had in my room when I did make an exception to my rule of no food. However, I admittedly found myself eating a granola bar

for “breakfast” during my morning classes last year because I hadn’t eaten before school. In order to avoid doing that in front of my students, I have had to adjust my schedule to assure I eat before school. Changing my routine has been the most difficult part for me!” Warming up food in a microwave was a convenience we had in the past and now we can’t. There are many girls who are in sports who bring leftovers for lunch which needs to be warmed up in a microwave. The girls are outspoken about this saying, “I dislike this very much because I bring my own lunch. It’s not that I don’t like the school lunches, (there are some pretty great lunches provided here) but I feel I don’t get enough to eat for a track meet or a even a game when eating the school lunch, therefore I bring my own.” I still bring my own lunch now, but I have to make it a cold lunch.” More guys will be effected too when wrestling season starts since many wrestlers bring their own lunch when cutting weight. I’m curious and also frustrated with this new rule.” Another response was “I think if the teacher says it is okay to use it then it should be okay and we should save up and use some of our money to purchase one.” Lastly another response was ” I used a microwave for the last three years and as an athlete I like to eat healthy food. I’m not saying the school lunch isn’t heathy, but I need more proteins and vegetables and less carbs before a game. Without a microwave the food choices are limited to foods like sandwiches or processed foods which contain a lot of carbs.” Lastly, our rules for discipline have changed. We asked a few students who have violated our good conduct policy last year and this year about how they feel in regards to the community service hours being added to their discipline. One students comment was “I feel it’s a little overkill with the punishment and shouldn’t be in the handbook at all, 10 hours of community service for a first offense is a lot of time out of someones work and personal life to just go and be forced to work for free.” Another student replied “A warning or maybe a little notice of what might happen would be nice. It’s a little much for a first offense. I think and actually know that community service has to be either voluntary or court ordered.” And therefore with these new rules, the 2016-2017 school year should be successful and students will be on track.

MEDIA CLASS JOURNALISTS There have been many teachers who have come and gone throughout the years, but two particular teachers have invested their entire careers here at MFL MarMac. They are Mrs. Lynn Jones and Mr. Doug Martin. Mrs. Jones started her teaching career in 1979. Mrs. Jones said, ”Since I have been here technology has changed vastly, there was no such thing as cell phones in the classrooms or laptop computers for students.” Mrs. Jones also states that the computers makes it easier for students sometimes to access too much information. “It is to instantaneous that students don’t have to think or do much research. It’s harder for me as a teacher to keep up with it.” Mrs. Jones also recalls that teachers had to make copies on a mimeograph instead of a copy machine. As far as how the student population has changed throughout her years, she says that she wouldn’t say the kids have gotten worse or better… “There are just more problems coming from home or their personal social life.” If Mrs. Jones were to choose a different job, she would have chosen

the field of Optometry. She feels as though computer screens are ruining peoples eyes and “No one will have have 20/20 vision the rest of their lives.” When asked what she would like to change about her job she chuckled and said, “Air conditioning on the really hot days.”

Doug Martin

Lynn Jones Other than that she is happy with her job. We asked her if she were given the option to take on the role of principal would she accept and she replied “No, I don’t want to get into it.” Mr. Doug Martin started teaching in 1984 and he had different views about how school

has changed over the years. He said, “Just my room… it has been painted a couple times and the lights have been updated.” In his opinion, the kids haven’t really changed. “They just have different life styles and views on life.” Mr. Martin said the use of technology these days can be a positive or negative. “It really makes things harder and easier, depending on what you are doing.” He says if he were to have chosen any other career, he would have become a miller, farmer, or anything in the agriculture field. He wouldn’t change a thing about his job because he loves it. When asked if he would like to be a principal someday he replied “No, I wouldn’t like it; it would be too much work and pressure.”

First district win in six years Nick Larson

media class journalist Last Friday, your MFL MarMac Bulldogs fought through the elements to come out on top of the Central Springs Panthers beating them 22-0. This marks the first district game win in six years! Last time the Bulldogs won a district game was against Monticello back in 2010. This gives the seniors their first district win ever in their high

school career. At the end of the game everyone showed emotion. Overall the team as a whole played a great game. Leading the Bulldogs on offense is Chase Stubbs with 143 rushing yards and Riley Doeppke with two rushing touchdowns. Sam Kvistad filled in for the injured Bryar Ruff in the quarterback position. On the defense, Mason Hertrampf led the team with 9 tackles and Derek Larson, Brady Olson, and Garret Keehner each recorded 7 1/2 tackles. Great job

guys, their next opponent is South Winn at Calmar starting at 7:00 p.m. on Sept. 16. Come out and cheer your Bulldogs on to victory!

Shop Class news CJ Nagel

MEDIA CLASS JOURNALIST Shop class is probably one of the most fun classes that you could take if you enjoy hands on learning, building stuff and working with mechanical machines. Sitting back and relaxing on a computer making your own personal design on the new torchmate is also a perk of being in shop class. The torchmate is a computerized torch that creates a design on a computer and the torch cuts it out by a push of a button. There are lots of classes you could take, for example industrial tech I and II. Industrial tech is a class that teaches you the basics of construction like drafting, woodworking, welding, and a few other things. If you like plants and being in the garden, then horticultural is the class for you!

In that class you can learn about plants and how to plant and fertilize them properly. If you like welding then metal tech is the class for you. You get to learn how to do the basic welding and weld with two different types of welders, stick and MIG welding. At the end of this class you

get to put your skills to the test and build any project that you feel like you can tackle. Shop classes are very fun if you prefer hands on learning rather than being stuck with paper and pencil assignments.

BULLDOG A message from the Iowa Department of Public Safety and Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau.

CHASE STUBBS Chase Stubbs has been chosen to be our Bulldog of The Week. Chase was nominated by Coach Oppelt. Just last week, Chase ran for a total of 143 yards against Central Springs. Chase also scored one touchdown and had a pass break up. Chase has shown so Chase Stubbs much commitment to the MFLMarMac football team. When Tom Oppelt is there to open up the Weight Room in the morning, Chase is always there pushing himself. He has been lifting weights since 7th grade. One of Chases favorite things to do is to watch the Nebraska Cornhuskers play football every Saturday night, but the thing he loves doing the most is spending time with his family. Chase says, “I feel like every weekend when we watch Nebraska play that it brings us as a family closer than ever.” “Thank you, Chase for working at something you love and proving to people that the more you work at something the better you’ll get. Congratulations!” - Coach Oppelt
