Planning and zoning commission to recommend Dollar General Store Nolan Porter

The Monona Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend to reclassify the land that lies between U.S. highway 18 and the Gordon subdivision on Tuesday, October 4, 2016. The motion was carried out after a tied vote of three for and three against. Chairperson Nathan Trappe broke the deadlocked vote. “Monona needs to grow,” said Trappe, addressing the commission and the residents that turned out for the hearing. The commission will bring their recommendation to the city council, which will then decide on whether to change the lot from residential R2 to commercial C1A. The land has not been bought yet nor have any changes occurred. If the city council reclassifies the land, then Dollar General will proceed with

the next step. The purpose of the hearing was to let the public talk about their concerns. There were many residents that live in the immediate area of where the store might be built. Most present said they were opposed to the store being built there however they were not opposed to the concept of a Dollar General store being built in Monona. The planning and zoning commission stressed that they would make any stipulations to accommodate the residents. Among the concerns were the view being blocked by the store. Residents were afraid that the building would obscure or ruin the view from the homes. Dollar General has stated that trees or a fence would be constructed at the request of the zoning commission. However, that would still obscure the view of the homes.

Dollars for Scholars receives donation check from FreedomBank Nolanporter

outlook editor Leslie Henkes received a check from Freedom Bank, given to her by Jim Mortiz, Wednesday, September 28, 2016. Henkes, a guidance assistant at MFL MarMac, is the scholarship coordinator for MFL. Mortiz is the representative of the employee owners of FreedomBank. The check given was part of a $12,000 donation that will be divided for Central Community Dollars for Scholars, MFL MarMac

Community Schools Dollars for Scholars, Postville Community Schools Dollars for Scholars and the NICC FreedomBank Scholarship Fund. The check is one of many ways that Dollars for Scholars receives funding to give the graduating seniors of MFL MarMac. 37 MFL seniors were given $22,399 worth of scholarship money in 2015. The total amount donated to the MFL MarMac school system alone has been over $600,000 throughout the years.

The Monona City Council discussed at length having a garbage amnesty day due to the recent rainfall, which has caused damage to citizens’ property. The concept would be the same as the garage day that takes place annually in spring. However there were many issues brought to light. There was a concern about how much trash would be brought and a fear that people would throw away more than just water-damaged items. Also there was the issue of people who do not live in town may also dump their waste. Another concern was when would the day be held. Being as the rainfall had occurred weeks ago and complaints already had come in to city hall about water damage, the issue was that it would be too late to have an effect. A tentative date was set for October 15, but it was decided by the council to not go through with the planned garbage day. The next city council meeting will have a public hearing on what the planning and zoning commission has to recommend for the proposed Dollar General Store. The planning and zoning commission will have heard comments from the public and the Overland Group, who represents Dollar General and will approach the council with

their recommendations during the next scheduled meeting, Monday, October 17. The city council will then decide to reclassify the 2.76 acres requested for the building. The next meeting will be held in the Monona Community Center. An extensive discussion took place about the city buying a snow blower to attach to the front of a utility vehicle. City worker Randy Evanson, who had concern that the new John Deere vehicle would not be to handle large amounts of snow with the current attachment, brought up the issue. The snow blower would be able to handle large amounts of snow and would be used in areas where drifting would be an issue. It was decided to purchase the snow blower for a total of $2886. An update was given about the sewer project, which was originally planned to be finished by the end of July. A new schedule that was given to the council with the expected finish date of November 17, which is past the final extension given by the council. This will mean that the final extended date of October 21 would be passed and that a fine of $1200 a day would occur. Due to the fact that the city of Monona has been turned down for a REAP grant, it was discussed whether to proceed with another attempt. The idea of paying to receive help in writing was also mentioned. There was concern that the REAP grant may never be given the Monona City Park being as it is

not connected to a trail. The focus may be shifted to Gateway Park, in hopes a trail could be connected to the Butterfly Garden. The possibility of the hotel feasibility study is becoming closer to reality. Mike Linder of Hotel R & D has brought a fourth proposal to the council. The planned funding of the study is to come from donations and grants from various area companies. Black Hills Energy has already contributed $500. Alliant Energy has a fund that will contribute 40% up to $5000 to the cost of the study. A third possible donor could be ITC, which has electrical lines that run through Monona. The former Interstate building was the topic of discussion, as it may become the new police station of Monona. Under the Brownfields Program the old building could be repurposed for use by the city. It was decided by the council to pursue the grant and inquire about using the building as a new police center. There was a request for a grant application to create a prairie space near the Butterfly Garden. The proposed idea is to increase butterfly traffic in the area. The seed and preparation would cost a minimum $500. The max amount would be $2000. The grant money would come from the Trees Forever Pollinator Habitat Conservation Grant. One of the stipulations is the area must have a native plant that last throughout the summer, which the current location does.

Fire Prevention Week is October 9-15; see special section inside today’s paper Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on October 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on October 9, 1871. According to popular legend, the fire broke out after a cow - belonging to Mrs. Catherine O’Leary - kicked over a lamp, setting first the barn, then the whole city on fire. Chances are you’ve heard some version of this story yourself; people have been blaming the Great Chicago Fire on the cow and Mrs. O’Leary, for more than 130 years. But recent research by Chicago historian Robert Cromie has helped to debunk this version of events. Like any good story, the ‘case of the cow’ has some truth to it. The great fire almost certainly started near the barn where Mrs. O’Leary kept her five milking cows. But there is no proof that O’Leary was in the barn when the fire broke out - or that a jumpy cow sparked the blaze. Mrs. O’Leary herself swore that she’d been in bed early that night, and that the cows were also tucked in for the evening. But if a cow wasn’t to blame for the huge fire, what was?

Over the years, journalists and historians have offered plenty of theories. Some blamed the blaze on a couple of neighborhood boys who were near the barn sneaking cigarettes. Others believed that a neighbor of the O’Leary’s may have started the fire. Some people have speculated that a fiery meteorite may have fallen to earth on October 8, starting several fires that day - in Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as in Chicago. The biggest blaze that week While the Great Chicago Fire was the best-known blaze to start during this fiery two-day stretch, it wasn’t the biggest. That distinction goes to the Peshtigo Fire, the most devastating forest fire in American history. The fire, which also occurred on October 8th, 1871, and roared through Northeast Wisconsin, burning down 16 towns, killing 1,152 people, and scorching 1.2 million acres before it ended. Historical accounts of the fire say that the blaze began when several railroad workers clearing land for tracks unintentionally started a brush fire. Before long, the fast-moving flames were whipping through the area ‘like a tornado,’ some survivors said. It was the small town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin that suffered the worst damage. Within an hour, the entire town had been destroyed. Nine decades of fire prevention

Those who survived the Chicago and Peshtigo fires never forgot what they’d been through; both blazes produced countless tales of bravery and heroism. But the fires also changed the way that firefighters and public officials thought about fire safety. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America (today known as the International Fire Marshals Association), decided that the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire should henceforth be observed not with festivities, but in a way that would keep the public informed about the importance of fire prevention. The commemoration grew incrementally official over the years. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation, and since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the Sunday through Saturday period in which October 9 falls. According to the National Archives and Records Administration’s Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. The President of the United States has signed a proclamation proclaiming a national observance during that week every year since 1925.

Justice

My friend

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 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. 3. 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

Letter to the Editor Jan Heikes, Candidate for the State Senate, is worthy of your vote. As a social worker, Jan has committed her life to serving others.She has been a strong advocate for people with disabilities, our senior citizens and individuals with mental health issues. Always persistent and hard working, you can trust Jan to listen, to be your voice, and to work with both Democrats and Republicans in order to serve you, her constituents. “People first” has been the creed Jan has lived by. We need Jan Heikes to represent us in the Iowa State Senate. Karen Pratte Waterville, IA

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 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”.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I’m writing to encourage your readers to vote “no” on Iowa Supreme Court Justices Cady, Hecht and Appel, who are up for retention on the November 8 ballot. They have acted outside of the constitutional bounds of their position. In 2009, they conspired to usurp the authority of the legislature by imposing same sex marriage on our state. Hecht and Appel continue to abuse their authority, as well as, Justice Cady who wrote the Varnum ruling. When the Iowa Board of Medicine banned telemedice abortions because it is medically unsafe, Justices Cady, Hecht and Appel overruled them. Our legislative and executive branches have failed to keep the judicial branch in check. It’s up to “we the people” to restrain them and send a message to the other branches of government that we do not want justices legislating from the bench. Sincerely, Gale D. Severson 10323 Hwy 3 Strawberry Point, IA 52076

I was 10 years old and under the covers with my transistor radio; my folks thought I was asleep. When they looked, they saw a lump under those covers but I was really at the game. Vin Scully had taken me there. Vinny’s retirement makes us remember all he has done for us. Transistor radios filled in the blanks at the game and away. When TV went digital a few years ago we decided we’d had enough. We’d planned our lives around getting in for the news and sat like zombies through hours of trash in order to see a couple minutes of TV worth watching. TV was worse than shaving or smoking; eliminate a lifetime of it and we could be happy and productive for another ten or twenty years. Instead of being mesmerized a la George Orwell, we worked, looked at birds, read, talked to each other; stuff like that. Now the TVs are smaller, and everywhere. Out in public we see people dining together looking at their “devices.” Is Big Brother in there commanding them to believe... “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” ? Now we are thinking of getting a TV antenna, for baseball. Upon moving to Iowa I adopted the Cubs as my team because I root for

the underdog, Chicago has blues, and it’s close. Now the Cubs are on a tear and the Dodgers aren’t bad. I continue to think baseball represents life better than any sport. Pick a reason, but I think it is because there is no clock, there are limitless opportunities for those with ambition, and no one to blame but yourself. I’ve read several articles about Vinny lately that mentioned the transistor radio, after years of believing I was the only one. Could it be that all those sleepy students were pretending to be asleep so they could listen to the Dodger game? Sorta illustrates the value of revisionist history, doesn’t it? Scully is the only living man I’ve known longer than my barber. He started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. He moved with them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1957. He will call his last game Sunday afternoon with perennial rival, the Giants, who moved from New York to San Francisco that same year. Can you imagine having the same job for 67 years? Do you think Vin Scully always had everything fall into place for a perfect job? No. But he made it right for himself and we all profited from his effort to please himself through his job to bring this game to our

ears. He stuck with it for 67 years. Thank you, Mr. Scully. The recent death of superstar prospect, Jose Fernandez, makes it all the more moving that Vinny has given so much and also that so much is at stake. Fernandez defected from communist Cuba on his third try. He saved his mother’s life when she fell off the boat. He was jailed after his first two attempted flights to freedom. Another player sparked a parting commentary this year by Vin Scully, as a tiny rebuke to the leftist drivel coming from most other celebrities. Hernan Perez was up to bat for the Brewers (love that name). Scully mused of how Perez might think of the conditions he faces here compared to his home in Venezuela: “Socialism failing to work as it always does, this time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello. Anyway, Oh and Two.” Any comments on these articles are welcome through a letter to the paper or to 4selfgovernment@gmail. com. My blog might interest you as well: www.alternativebyfritz.com.

outlook editor When I was growing up, I was introduced to video games and that meant less time outside and more time sitting. There were no kids my age in the neighborhood so my time was filled with TV and video games. I would waste away in front of the glowing TV, day and night. Except instead of wasting away, I was expanding. By the time I hit middle school I was rather heavy. And school kids being cruel, I was bullied a lot. I was poked in the gut and made fun of a lot. Middle school ruined a part of me that I now miss: school spirit. Any time a pep rally came about, I tried my best to get out of them. I always hated going to school rallies because I had to sit and endure “spirit” thrust upon me. I was able to sneak out one time. It was like I was in an episode of “Hogan’s Heroes”, including me sneaking past a teacher that could have been considered Schultz. I never cared about the sports teams and I never went to cheer the team on. I didn’t like being seen by my peers in public, so basketball and football games were a nightmare for me. I even carried this, as much as I hate to admit it, hatred for school sports in to college. I attended a

school that I had no loyalty to. If I would have gone to University of Iowa or UNI, I might have cared. However, I went to Western Illinois University and my plan was to get good grades and a higher education. I enjoyed my time there, but only attended one football game. Now, being far detached from my alumnus, I noticed something at MFL football and volleyball games that I missed during my school years. That thing is school pride. I know that I have not been here long and the school year has only just begun. However, I see how enthused the students and parents were towards the sports teams. I feel a yearning to cheer on the team and root for a victory. It was strange to me. I avoided events like that when in school and now my job requires me to be at said events. For me, it has the same feeling of adopting a school. I have no ties to the school and yet I want the sports teams to win every event. At this point, I now see what I have missed. I missed dressing up for homecoming or just acting silly. I did experience part of it when my high school became the football champions, but other than that, I had no drive. Now I am too old to go all out for school spirit, but I can still enjoy a good game. I want to show my school spirit and support a team

anyway that I can. I feel like an outsider but I want to have the sense of belonging. Part of that comes from a place where people gather to gossip and cheer on the local teams. Monona isn’t perfect by a long shot, but I still feel more pride for it than Keokuk. Maybe it’s the fact that I have a career job that takes me all over town and I meet new people all the time. I get to meet new people in a town where I was completely unknown. This is a new adventure to me and that means I can experience old things from a different point of view. That being said I have become a huge fan of MFL MarMac sports teams. Whenever I take photos at a football game or volleyball game, I get excited when they score a point. I smile after a pass is completed or a ball is spiked into the ground. I have the same feeling at high school when I go to an Iowa Hawkeye football game. The sense of loyalty and thrill of the win are renewed in me, even if it is not my hometown. It may seem silly but I am making up for lost time, as it were. I want to wear blue and gold on game days and show my support. I want to cheer for a touchdown and groan over penalties. I may have missed out when I was in school, but I want to do my part and support the Bulldogs in any way I can.

side the opponent’s picture in sour macabre smudged grays complete with nasty warnings. If you get one of those campaign advertisements beware. If you believe either side you are being manipulated. Often such brochures are produced by a state party or some political action special interest group. This might urge you to vote the maligned candidate as having the most integrity. This year I know one candidate personally. Jan Heikes is an active member of the church I

pastored. She is a positive, regular, faithful, responsible community spirit builder. As mental health coordinator for Winneshiek and Allamakee counties she once called me to ask if I could help her by being a conservator for a man whose life was ruined with alcoholism. I managed his finances and provided support several years in a care facility. Later I called Jan with a case of a paraplegic, mentally handicapped woman. She helped me find a satisfactory and practical solution. In both cases I supervised

these folks with no charge to tax payers. Jan knew public and private resources and cared for the people of Northeastern Iowa bringing them together for the benefit of all. If Jan Heikes is elected to represent Senate district 28 we will all experience the worth of her compassion, practical organization and wisdom. That gives me hope. Rev.

Letter to the Editor Editor, I’m struggling this election season to keep a positive spirit. Politicians have decided campaigns are won by trashing one’s opponent rather than practical proposals. This seems less so for local contests where we know the candidates personally. For me that seems a happier place to focus my patriotism. However, even here I get brochures with one side depicting a candidate in glorious smiling Technicolor, flags waving in the background. On the opposite

Dispatches From The Past

Dollar General

In this monthly feature, we take a look back at yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news. Nolan Porter, Outlook Editor

From Front

Monona in 1916, 1966 and 1991

100 Years Agoâ&#x20AC;Ś

Now that the county tickets are named it is reasonable to conclude that a campaign awakening will follow. So far, since the conclusion of the pre-convention state campaign at Des Moines, there has been little or no interest manifested. The strenuous six weeks campaign â&#x20AC;&#x153;went coslumpâ&#x20AC;? on the announcement of the state ticket, followed by a comparative quietness that is interpreted to mean most anything outside of the general order. From the mix-up there were occasional growls, a little of the order of sniffling, and now and then a threat to bolt was heard,-the result of a fierce local contention, but in the intervening time between the holding of the stat and county conventions, the factional feeling has greatly subsided, until now there is scarcely a whimper to be heard. So, with the naming of the county ticket we may reasonably expect a revival, all along the line, followed by a strenuous campaign.

Northeast Iowa Dairy Cooperative is conducting research on new products. This past year the Cooperative has processed several new products incorporating by-products from the farm. Sample have been submitted to distributors, and orders have been placed for four of the new products. Changes have been made, and production will begin during the month of October to fulfill the orders. The Directors and Management have been aware of the demand for new products. They have new modern equipment that can be readily adapted to different types of food processing. The processing plan has its own utilities and disposal plant. The location is ideal for changes or modifications. The Northeast Iowa Dairy Cooperative is a member of North Star Dairy in St. Paul, Minnesota, together with 14 other food processing plants. The have a research laboratory in St. Paul and are constantly in touch with the large distributions developing tailor made products.

Health Care Provider CPR to be offered at VMH Veterans Memorial Hospital will be offering a course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for health care providers (those working in health related fields such as physicians, nurses, EMTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, etc.) on Monday, November 7, beginning at 5:30 p.m. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health Care Professionalâ&#x20AC;?

The lights around the proposed building were brought up. Residents were worried that the lights would shine in windows at night and disrupt them. The commission stated that they would make a stipulation that said the store could not have lights on the back or they would be placed in a way to not produce too much light pollution. The fear of noisy trucks coming from the store was another topic of discussion. When trucks would come in and unload their cargo, the concern was the sound of the semis engines would be too loud for nearby homes. Trees and fences were again discussed. Another large concern was the possibility of loss of property value. At this time, it is not clear what effects the store would have on the property value to the surrounding homes. The final point of argument was the safety issue of entering and exiting the store. Due to the fact that Dollar General only wants direct access off of the highway, the location was questioned. The hill on Highway 18 was brought up, being as it does not have a good line of sight. There was concern for when people pull out or go in to the parking lot, they may not be able to achieve a high enough speed to avoid collisions. At one point during the hearing, it was brought to the attention of all attending that there was a clause in the covenant of Gordon subdivision that 75 percent of the residents had to deny the want for zoning reclassification. If 75 percent state they are against the change, then the lot would remain residential. At this time, it is unclear if all residents have voted or even knew about the covenant. The planning and zoning commission will approach the city council on October 17 with their recommendation on how to proceed. That will be the final time the public can voice concerns and let it be known if they are for or against the store.

The MFL MarMac Bulldog football team hosted an undefeated Denver team for Homecoming, Friday, October 7. The Bulldogs knew the game would be tough going in to the match up. “We knew we didn’t match up well,” Coach Tom Oppelt said. “They did not look quite as fast on film as they did live.” The team showed a lot of heart and “played hard”, Oppelt said. However, the team could not physically stand up to Denver’s player size. “We gave up over 100 pounds per kid up front,” Oppelt said. “That just killed us.” The game started off poorly for the Bulldogs. The first possession by the Denver Cyclones was a touchdown. The Bulldogs would find it hard to move the ball in the first half. The Cyclone defense was able to stop much of the ground game produced by the Bulldogs only putting up 49 rushing yards. The offense mainly came from the air with 252 passing yards. Senior Bryar Ruff had to step up and throw for much of the game. Ruff completed over 50 percent of his passes and connected once with senior Ty Hefner for the only passing touchdown. Along with the receiving touchdown, Hefner led the team with seven receptions and a total of 147 yards received. Towards the end of the first half, the offense started to click and the first touchdown was scored. Denver had already been on a scoring spree, but the Bulldog touchdown showed that Denver was not perfect. After the half, the Bulldogs were more awake and slowed the bleeding. The defense was able to step up and the offense found rhythm with the pass game. The defense showed that they were not going to be pushed around. Senior Colton Dettman record five solo tackles and one sack while sophomore Wyatt Geick had the other sack. Junior Mason Hertrampf

led the team with eight solo tackles and pulled in one interception with a 22-yard return. However, the efforts were in vain. Besides another Bulldog touchdown, the final score ended 56-14, Denver. Oppelt is upbeat about the final two games and has high expectations for the future. “I think we can run the ball very well against our last two opponents,” Oppelt said. “Defensively, we are going to clean up some stuff.” Although disheartened by the loss, Oppelt had praise for the team saying, “our kids play hard” and “they didn’t give up.” The final two games of the season will be away. The first will be at Sumner-Fred on October 14 and the final game is at BCLUW on October 21.

The next set saw less offense production and the Tigerhawks racked up the points, with the set ending 25-13, NFV. The final set saw the Bulldogs scrape together 11 points against the dominant Tigerhawks offense. The final set ended 25-11 and thus ended the match 3-0 Tigerhawks.

“Open Garage” event held to showcase collectable automobiles, Elkader Many hobby enthusiasts have a section of their homes set aside to display their various collections, be it a few shelves or display cases, or perhaps a room or two. For Elkader resident Tom Chandler, the display area for his collection is a 50x50 foot garage that is attached to his house. In it are 12 of his 18 restored collectable automobiles. “We went through several design ideas before we decided on this one,” he said, referring to the giant turntable in the center of the garage. “My goal was to be able to get any car in and out of the garage without having to move the other ones. With the turntable, I can just drive the car on it, flip the switch, and face the car in any direction to either back it into its space or drive it out of the garage.” Among the vehicles in the collection is a 1924 Franklin Speedster, a 1939 BMW, a 1927 French Derby sports car, A 1952 Glasspar G2 and a 1954 Bristol 403. There were only 273 Bristol’s built, and there are not very many in existence today. Chandler said that the Derby is also a rare vehicle. “I followed the Derby for 29 years as it went through four owners before I was finally able to get it,” he said. Many of the vehicles that Chandler acquired were in rough shape, some

consisting of only the chassis. He restores them in a 50x60 foot shop located in downtown Elkader. “I have had an interest in unusual cars ever since I was in high school,” Chandler said. “Most of that interest has been for lighter, sportier cars. My brother and I did repair work on our family vehicles, which helped a lot in later years. After high school, I bought an Austin Mini and headed off to college.” After graduating from college, Chandler started buying cars with the idea of restoring them. His first collector car was a 1953 British Singer. Tom retired in 2000 after teaching music at the Central Community High School in Elkader for 32 years. Since then, he has spent countless hours in his downtown shop working on various projects. “Retiring gave me a chance to really get serious,” he said. “I have metal fabricating tools, a wood shop and a painting area in the shop. When restoring a vehicle, I try to find original parts if possible from dealers and collectors in North America or Europe. If I can’t get them, I try to find appropriate substitutes, or I fabricate them in the shop from original specifications.” “If you know what you want, you can get the right materials and shape the part to those specifications,” he added. “I’m currently working on a 1952 fiberglass Maverick Sportster, which was the brainchild of an aeronautic engineer.” Chandler has gone to many car shows to exhibit his work. He has won several individual awards and he took home the Champion’s Choice Award at the Indianapolis Car Show this June. “I get a great deal of satisfaction in being able to bring thins back and give them the new look they used to have, putting them in a workable state,” he said. “There’s also satisfaction in being able to share them with other individuals and enthusiasts.” One of the ways he is sharing his passion for the autos is hosting an “Open Garage” event that will be held at his residence at 100 Haven’s Drive near the Central Community Hospital on October 15 from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. and October 16 from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.
