It is important to consider these risk factors, but it is even more important to realize that 70% of women who develop breast cancer have NO KNOWN risk factors.

Reasons to Get a Mammogram: Every woman has a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. With early detection, there is a 95% survival rate.

Letter to the Editor

Respect the internet NOLAN PORTER

OUTLOOK EDITOR Abraham Lincoln said, “You can’t believe everything you see on the Internet.” Now, I hope that made everyone stop and think about how absurd that statement is. Although that may be on the more silly side, it gets you thinking. The Internet is vast, so vast that it may not be comprehended by the human mind. It is like the universe in a sense. So large and deep that most people do not think about how big it really is. In 2012, there were 644 million websites, 2014 saw that number double to a billion. It is hard to say what the future will hold for websites. This is not what I am focusing on today. I am talking about the sheer amount of information or more importantly false information. As I have said before, just because you see something on Facebook does not make it true. I remember an aunt of mine post something that said if this post didn’t get however many “likes”, and then Facebook would start charging users. It took me a whole five seconds to check that out. It, of course, was false. That is a harmless post, but the idea that misinformation can spread so fast and unchecked that it frightens me. I am of the generation that rode the wave of the Internet. I was on the frontlines everyday and soon learned to take everything with a grain of salt. On popular thing to do was claim that Bill Cosby had died. The first time I saw that, I was shocked. However, I did a quick Google search and found that he was alive and well. I soon learned that just because someone says is on the Internet does not make it true. At that time, only younger people used the information super-highway on a regular basis.

Facebook was just a way to see photos of other people and get really jealous. It was just an extension of high school. Now people like my father, grandmother and other older people use it a lot. This is where the danger of misinformation comes into play. In the past few years, there have been many different false claims via Facebook and other websites. Some include charging your phone by putting it in the microwave and lemon rinds that can cure cancer, just to name more recent ones. They may seem absurd or even outright lies, but there are large amounts of people who believe them. The thing that irritates me the most is as soon as people see these, they claim it is real. They will even defend this audacious lies that they only just discovered. And to make things worst, they take it all at face value. In the era of cell phones and tablet technology, it should not be that hard to just doublecheck something. If something is spreading over Facebook like wildfire, then there is a good chance that it may not be real. Just because everyone says it’s true does not mean it is. You may be tempted to go with the flow, but it is so easy to just do a quick fact check. Snopes.com was created to bust famous Internet urban legends and to just do general fact checking. There is nothing wrong with consulting Google too. If a lot of people are talking about something, then Google will have something to go off of. Most Internet websites are quick on the draw and can bust a rumor floating around the web. Not all sites that come up with Google are correct or without bias, but it gives you a general idea of what to look for. The best way to gauge things is just go by how outlandish they are sounding. If the world’s largest dog

Nolan Porter Outlook Editor

is taller than a horse, then that is false. Those are easy to spot. The best lies are the ones that have the most truth in them, making them hard to distinguish from the truth. I have seen some rather impressive fake post that throw a lot of numbers or claim to have reliable sources. Again, after the slightest amount of digging, I can find that they are false. The purpose of these Internet traps is to fool you and to see how far a joke can go. The take away from all this is not to scare the casual user. I just want to warn them about misinformation and to not take everything as real. If your cousin posts an article about new evidence that suggest the Soviets landed on the moon first, then check it out for yourself. Do some detective work and see what you can dig up. Even if the source of the article looks legitimate or the person who posts it seems reliable, there is still that chance of deception. Always remember to think for yourself and keep a keen eye for false news.

CROZIER’S COMMENTS Dr. Dale Crozier Superintendent

The school year is now into full swing, and we have had a terrific start. The teachers are now involved in Personalized Professional Development. In this process, each teacher has their own professional development “journey” that is unique to each teacher. So far this process has been welcomed and supported. We are also in the second year of our Teacher Leadership program after a very positive first year. In all of our programs and curriculum, the main objective is to put students first in all things. I have wanted to address a problem that some rural districts face. Transportation costs are much higher in rural and geographically large districts like MFL MarMac as compared to more urban districts that have more students in a smaller area. Transportation inequity is essentially created by an average cost per pupil for transportation that varies greatly from district to district depending on the sparsity of

the population. As farms slowly grow larger and families slowly grow smaller, every year more students, as a percentage of the whole, live in town and fewer students live in the country. However, most districts still have too many rural students to significantly reduce buses and also we have state time requirements to meet. To get all students to school in a reasonable time-frame requires close to the same travel time from the school to the farthest point, regardless of how many stops are along the way. As rural families become less populated, the route time stays close to the same since we generally still have to travel to the farthest point. This causes the average cost per student transported to increase, and it greatly exceeds the more populated and less geographically large districts. The funding that is above the state average that goes to transportation expenses could have gone directly to student needs. In other words, schools that have small transportation needs end up having more money that can go directly to student needs.

Another more urban district that is under the state average transportation cost would actually save costs as compared to the state average - hence the swing between the urban and the rural is actually huge. This is not a fault of the urban districts, nor is it a fault of the rural; it's just how it is under the current system. Also, we are not alone. Western Dubuque has traditionally had the largest transportation costs in the state, and Midland (where I came from before MFL MarMac) was not far behind. Actually, MFL MarMac is not in the top tier, but we still lose significantly in this transfer and it is a problem for almost all sparsely populated districts. As for solutions, it's probably not going to work very well to ask the urban district to give money to fund transportation costs for rural districts. I think a better solution would be to create a more equitable system over time where sparsely populated rural schools get an equalization mechanism in the school funding formula. About the only way this can happen is through legislation and tweaks in the school funding formula.

Summer has come and gone again. Yet we can still enjoy the blessings of a nice day when it comes. Each nice day may bring with it the slight sadness of knowing it will not last. We ask ourselves, “Where did the summer go?” We can look back on some of the fun activities we enjoyed with family and friends. We can even think of the many things we didn’t get around to doing. After we have lost a loved one, we can enjoy our normal activities but we also bring with us a tinge of sadness, as we remember who we no longer have with us. This can be flavored with guilt at knowing that we should have spent more time with our loved one. We can even count off all of the big ideas and adventures that we had hoped to do “someday”… All of these memories can cause us to experience great pain. They may even lead us to try to do activities to push away and or cover up that pain. Sometimes we subconsciously cause ourselves extra pain without understanding that we are doing so or even why. We just know that we are suffering. Often from the outside others see that we are getting by day by day. They may even think that someday we will “get over” our grief. The reality is that we are actually walking

quietly through the agony that is our life now. Sounds like a miserable existence doesn’t it? These are very common experiences and are normal. What is not normal is to stay in this existence. Finding a way to heal is crucial to your own health. Talking with family members or friends may seem too difficult. And to think of sharing with a group of people who are strangers may be even scarier. Though this is where you may find people with the same struggles. We have helped many people process their grief during our support meetings. The pain of grief and loss is normal. To have a hard time finding a way to feel normal again is normal. Sometimes we need a little guidance to get there. Please consider trying a grief support group meeting that we hold in the area. 1st Thursdays of the month are at CRH Hospital in PDC at 7pm; 2nd Monday of the month is at Central Comm. Hospital in Elkader at5pm; 2nd Wednesday of the month VM Hospital in Waukon at 2pm; 3rd Tuesday of the month in the Garnavillo Comm. Center at 5pm Patrick Malanaphy Hospice Chaplain

What’s New in County 22? It is once again that time of the year when driver’s need to be more alert. Leaf looking season, fall harvest season, and more deer movement are a couple of reasons. If the rain holds off I would expect to see our area farmers’ out and about moving machinery from farm to farm. Please pass them with caution and not at an intersection. They may be turning left into your path if you do. Please give them a brake. I believe the deer numbers are up again and one of my squads got one this summer but also two of my squads have hit raccoons causing damage. Stay alert on the roadways. The daylight hours are diminishing more every day which can create unfamiliar driving conditions. Even on familiar roads it is important that motorists use additional caution and adjust their driving habits to watch for pedestrians, cyclists and other roadway users. Also be alert of animals crossing the roadways. With cooler temperatures coming this fall the possibility of frosted roads, especially on bridges or overpasses could cause problems. Avoid sun glare. With the change in daylight this fall you may need to adjust to the different morning or late afternoon glare from the sun. The glare can cause reflections off car windows and hoods decreasing your visibility. Have a good pair of sunglasses with you to counter the glare and consider lenses with antireflective coating to reduce glare when night driving can’t be avoided. Plan ahead for wet conditions.

This we should be used to with the amount of rain we have been seeing. Fall often brings rainfall, which can decrease visibility and cause hydroplaning. Make sure your windshield wipers are in good working condition. If driving on a road with excess water, slow down and avoid sudden movements with the steering wheel or brake pedal. If you feel like you’re floating, steer straight and gently release the gas pedal until you feel the tires make contact with the road surface. In an especially heavy downpour you may want to pull off the road until it’s safe to continue. If it would flood again this year, never drive through a flooded roadway. You don’t know if the roadway may have been washed away from current and the current could take your vehicle if you drive through water too deep. Let’s all stay safe and have an enjoyable fall season. 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. Thanks and be safe, Sheriff Mike Tschirgi

Justice For All

CUSTOM PRINTING

This 69th edition of Justice For All is about the Iowa County Attorneys Legislative Committee which I have served on for the past two years. Following my first term in office (2011-2014) I was chosen to serve on the Iowa County Attorneys Legislative Committee. There are currently 17 county attorneys from all different parts of the state on the Committee. Every year we meet in Des Moines to discuss and create legislative priorities for the upcoming legislative session. Last year, for the 2015-2016

OPINION

legislative session, the Committee agreed on the following four priorities: 1. Partner with Iowa’s courts to enhance the delinquent court debt collection system, thereby increasing revenue to the State and ensuring crime victims continue to receive restitution priority. 2. Further protect Iowa’s citizens from identity theft by amending the statute to address penalties for obtaining other benefits besides credit, property, and

services obtained illegally. Protect Iowa children by making kidnapping of a child under age 18 a class B felony. 4. Restore the offense of assault to its historical place in Iowa as a general intent crime. The Legislative Committee proudly reports that Priorities 1 and 2 were achieved in the last legislative session through the passage of new laws. Priorities 3 and 4 remain goals that the Committee continues to work 3.

towards accomplishing. In addition to legislative priorities, Committee members also discuss various issues that their respective counties are confronting and offer feedback based each member’s own experiences. These types of discussions became so substantial that a “Best Practices” subcommittee was formed to address trending topics for county attorney offices around the state. I was assigned to the sentencing reform subcommittee which is reviewing the law for a number of different crimes to determine

whether to recommend changes or improvements to the current sentencing guideline for the offense. Serving on the Iowa County Attorneys Legislative Committee and the Best Practices Subcommittee has been a valuable experience because doing so allows me to be on the cutting edge of current and future changes to Iowa law and to have a voice, on behalf of Clayton County, in the process. After all, I couldn’t say no to serving on a committee whose mission statement is: “Assure Safety & Justice for All Iowans”.

Garden View Community flu clinics begin at From Front Veterans Memorial Hospital The next performance was a duet by Marilyn Glover and Lavonne Benzing. They sang “Silver Threads & Golden Needles” accompanied by organ music played by Kendall Benzing. After the song, there was another reading by Florence Bruns. Her presentation was a poem about a baseball team and a no name player that saves the day. The poem, “Casey-20 years later” is a sequel to the poem, “Casey at the Bat”. “At the Bat” was about a bumbling player who failed to win the game for his team and “20 years later” is about Casey’s redemption. The final performance was an original play written by residents Josephine Smith, Marilyn Glover and Sara Wagner. It was meant as a sequel to the final episode to the cult classic, “Golden Girls” TV show which was performed by the residents last year. There was a large turnout of friends and family to watch and support the residents at their show. The program was part of the Active Aging Week.

Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care will begin holding regular flu clinics each Wednesday beginning October 5, from 1-6 p.m. in the Community and Home Care Immunization Clinic located on the upper level of Veterans Memorial Hospital. The next flu shot clinics will be held on Wednesday, October 12, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and again on Wednesday, October 19, from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. Flu clinics will then continue each week on Wednesday afternoons. 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. Influenza, also called the flu, can cause fever, chills, headache, cough,

sore throat, and muscle aches to people of any age, and can lead to pneumonia and even death. But most deaths caused by influenza are in elderly people. The cost for a flu shot is $25. Medicare does cover the costs. Billing for Medicare will be completed by the Community and Home Care staff, but participants will need to bring their physician’s name and their Medicare number with them. Pneumonia shots are also available for $75 and Tdap shots for $48. Please check with your local family practice physician if you have any questions about your eligibility for the influenza vaccination. For more information, please call the Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care Department at (563) 568-5660.

Correction to the September 28 edition of The Outlook Clarification: In the article in last week’s Outlook entitled, “Veteran receives kidney from stepdaughter” the place of residence of Cori Hundt was incorrect. Cori Hundt, who donated a kidney to her stepfather, recently moved from Cedar Rapids to Monona. Cori and her husband, Joshua, did not relocate from Colorado to Cedar Falls as was stated in the article. The Outlook regrets the error.

Accidents A two-vehicle accident occurred September 28 at 7:57 a.m. at the intersection of Elm Road and the Littleport Road. Kristen Groth, 16, Strawberry Point, pulled onto the Littleport Road but failed to see an oncoming vehicle driven by Rebecca Schiffman, 17, Elkader. Schiffman struck the Groth vehicle, causing $3,500 in damages to her 1999 Chevrolet and $3,500 in damages to Groth’s 2001 Oldsmobile. Groth was charged with failure to yield upon making a left turn, while Schiffman was charged with speeding. On September 23 at 12:30 a.m. Ashley Finse, 30, Bernard, was driving on the Great River Road when she struck a deer in the roadway. Her 2012 Subaru sustained $3,500 in damages.

Buckling up takes only TWO SECONDS.

50% of teenage vehicle fatalities result from not buckling up. Belted passengers riding with unbelted passengers are 2 TO 5 TIMES more likely to suffer fatal injuries. A message from the Iowa Department of Public Safety and Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau.

Antique Spotlight: Burroughs Add Machine

NOlan POrter

OUtlook Editor Long before the age of cell phones and even before pocket calculators, there were large, bulky mechanical calculators. These were around for a long time and helped keep numbers straight when it came to doing simple arithmetic. The first true calculator was the Mesopotamian abacus. It dates all the way back to around 2700 B.C.E. It was simple on the most basic level. A row of small bars held beads that could be slid up and down to keep track of numbers. There was no trick to it, as it did no real calculating. It seemed as a way to keep track of counting numbers. Different cultures had different versions. The Chinese had the most famous version, with the saunpan. It, like the Roman model, used small pebbles that could be slid up and down on a small, portable counter. It has been theorized that different cultures influenced each other with the primitive counting machine. In 1642, Frenchman Blaise Pascal invented a machine as to levitate the tedium doing the math for taxes. He was only 18 when he came up with the idea and created the first mechanical calculator. The machine was able to do the arithmetic by set dials on the top. Once they were inputted, dials would turn and produce a number above the input dials. This calculator was tuned to factor out French currency at that time. The problem was the machine was very touchy and it would give wrong numbers. As the centauries went on, few changes were made to the design. Multiplication was added to new models in the 1700’s, but division still seemed hard to pin down. All of the early calculators were made out of clock gears and dials.

In 1851 a brand new calculator was invited, the arithmometer. It was capable of doing everything needed in a modern calculator. Also it had no dials, only buttons. It was able to do long division and multiplications. It was the first mass produced model that was sold to offices. For over 40 years, it was the best and only way to calculate without doing manual work. Since the arithmometer was such a huge success, others copied the design and changed them to their own needs. William S Burroughs decided to design his own calculator but mainly for banks. Burroughs worked in a bank after he graduated high school in New Jeresy. He then moved to St. Louis for health reasons. He worked in a machining shop for a short amount of time, inventing different things. In 1888 he got the patent for his first adding machine. His first model, Class 1, was meant to just add. It had the appearance of a cash register but was small enough to fit in offices. Some versions came on pedestals and even some with a seat built in.

After he created his patent, he founded the American Arithmetic Company, which merged and was renamed the Burroughs Corporation. The company became one of the big sellers of computing machines to banks and the largest selling of adding machines in America. The model pictured here is a 1913 Class 6 and could add and subtract, unlike the previous

models before it. The Burroughs Co. grew fairly large, reaching 12,000 employees and selling 800,000 machines by 1920. William Burroughs died in 1898, well before he knew how successful his invention would become. The advent of post-World War II technology meant that machines could become more compact and did more than just add and subtract. Adding machines were used well up to the end of the 20th centaury. However, in the late 1960’s smaller, digital display calculators meant the large, “mechanical,” versions were not needed. It also didn’t take too long for the computer chip driven calculators to become battery powered and pocket sized. The Burroughs Co. and the calculators they produced were used all over the world and helped businesses avoid math related errors. It was that kind of invention that streamlined companies and created enduring legacies with their machines.

Heavy rainfalls to hamper road work The heavy rains of the past few weeks have put a heavier work load on the county’s Secondary Roads Department. “It was more in the northern part of the county, but locally, it’s bad all over,” County Engineer Rafe Koopman said. “There are a lot more mud spots than we usually see and we need to be hauling spot rock to handle the problem.” Koopman said that the biggest problem has been the constant rain. “We never really had a chance to set up,” he said. “When we can get out, it will increase our workload. We are also dealing with a detour be Garnavillo. That detour has to be maintained because of the heavy traffic on it.”

The plan is to get the roads up to par by the harvest season. Koopman said that there will probably heavier river traffic to grain terminals, which makes it essential to fix the roads. “We just need a break in the weather, and it looks like we are going to get that break soon,” he said. “Fortunately, we ended the fiscal year quite well, so we have money to purchase rock.” “We strongly recommend that Secondary Roads use that excess money to get that rock,” Board of Supervisors Chairman Ron McCartney said. “They are really making an effort to get the rock where it is needed. We will have to put off some projects to work on the roads that became so waterlogged.”

Koopman said that it was the rain, not local flooding, that caused most of the damage. “However, the river did tear out a portion of the bank near Osterdock,” he added. “We will have to do some riprapping there, but overall, the dollar amount hasn’t been overly costly from flooding.” The cost for getting the county roads back in shape has not yet been figured. County Emergency Management Agency Administrator Sarah Moser said that state and FEMA officials have assessed damages, but she has not yet received those figures. She is also waiting to see if a presidential disaster declaration is signed so that federal funds can then become available.

Volleyball team shows dominance at home NOLAN PORTER

OUTLOOK EDITOR The MFL MarMac volleyball team faced off against Kee High on Tuesday, September 27. The first set saw the Bulldogs make a comeback of sorts. They were down early on but were able to come back and teeter on victory. All that was needed was one point to win the set. The defense started to falter and Kee High started to mount a comeback. However the final point was scored and the first set went to the Bulldogs, 25-21. The next set showed the Bulldogs were in control and ended it with a solid 25-17 win. The final set seemed to show a more lax attitude towards Kee High, but the Bulldogs were still able to pull out a win with a final score of 25-19. The offense put up great team numbers. Senior Amber Adney

was the leader in the kills’ category with seven. Adney also had a high number of attack attempts, 18. The total team attempts were 54. Assisting Adney was senior Kayla Keehner with 12 assists and eight attempts. Sophomore Josie Kleinow had four kills and eight attempts while senior Kylie Moose came up with only one kill but nine attempts. The Bulldogs also had eight combined aces on services. Senior Nicole Heins had 20 successful serves out of the 21 attempted and two aces. The defense was able to hold off the Kee High attacks with 36 digs and 15 total blocks. Adney was able to produce 13 digs, the only player to have double digit digs. Heins was able to come up with four digs and three solo blocks. This game was the first of two games. The second game of the week was played away at South Winn.

The Bulldogs showed their tenacity but were once again, shut down. The final set score was 26-24, South Winn and the match ended 3-0, South Winn. The Bulldogs had impressive numbers across the board on offense and defense.

of the week

Tuesday Afternoon Ladies Week 4-September 27, 2016

The MFL MarMac Bulldogs traveled to Belmond-Klemme to face the Broncos on Friday, September 30. The Bulldogs struggled on both sides of the ball against the Broncos. Belmond-Klemme had only one win coming into Friday’s game. The offense showed signs of struggle in the passing game. Senior Bryar Ruff only completed nine passed out of 26. There were three interceptions thrown. Sophomore Garett Keehner was able to reel in three catches for 60 yards. The running game showed more promise and it was the go-to in terms of scoring. There were 162 rushing yards with two touchdowns among the running

backs. Sophomore Nathan Johanningmeier was able to punch in both scores. The majority of the yards gained came from senior Riley Doeppke who had 16 carries for 83 yards. The defense showed more signs of life, even though the score said otherwise. Senior Ty Hefner and junior Mason Hertrampf were tied with seven solo tackles. They help lead the offense with a combined 43 total solo tackles. The hits kept landing on the Bronco offense, but there were only two sacks on the quarterback. Although the defense fought hard, the Broncos were able to rack up 34 points on the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs must start gearing up for the homecoming game against an undefeated Denver team.
