outlook editor The MFL MarMac School is putting on Peter Pan: The Musical for their winter show. The musical is using the original 1954 script than ran on Broadway, with a few added parts. The play is the classic telling of how Wendy Darling and her brothers take a magical trip to Neverland with Peter Pan. There will be swashbuckling pirates, rowdy Lost Boys and the wise Indians.Diane Fisk is directing the play with help from Angie Killian. This is Fisk’s third year as a director. She has been involved with the school for over 30 years and has been a member of the Opera House Players for 40 years. “I have always enjoyed theater,” Fisk Said. “I like working with the kids.” The cast is comprised of 27

students, including a few from the elementary and middle school. Fisk was happy with the turnout and was thankful that casting was not an easy thing “I am happy to say, in this school district, it’s not an easy decision on who gets what,” Fisk said. “You have several different ways that you can go.” This year will have some exciting aspects to the play, such as flying cast members. It is planned for the members of the cast to fly three feet high off of the stage. The cast will be attached to harnesses that will suspend them off the ground and they will be flown around the stage. This year there will be three showings, one on Friday night and two on Saturday. Tickets go on sale October 21 at 8:00 a.m. and will remain until sold out or until the day of the play, November 11.

MFL MarMac High School to put on Peter Pan play November 11

NOLAN PORTER OCTOBER 27

Niki Guese and other faculty members approached the school board to request permission to apply for an after school grant, Monday, October 10. The grant, the 21st Century Grant, would allow kindergarten through third grade children to stay after school and receive some extra attention. The program would start after school, at 3:20, and run until 6. This would give those students a time where they could be involved in clubs and hands-on learning. The program would be entirely funded by the grant, which would be worth $150,000. The funding would include snacks, hired help and any other costs needed to run the program. The program would also use local people to volunteer their time. Artists and other local talent would come and show the children some of their specialties. The children would be allowed to sign up for clubs such as garden and drama club. This would allow children to experience new things with a hands-on approach. MFL MarMac has met almost all of the requirements to be eligible to receive the grant. The school has to show that a percent of students apply for free or reduced lunches, academics and a general consensus from parents. Another stipulation of the grant is for the recipient to come up with its own itinerary. The school would be in charge of how the three hours would be structured. The final draft for the grant is due December 16. The school board moved to seek the grant. Brent Pape gave a presentation about a new, monthly activity being offered to middle school students. Once a month, students have a chance to have “A day in the life of…” This gives children a chance to experience different careers and, most importantly, think outside of the box. Pape showed a slideshow for the first month, where the task was to think like an entrepreneur.

The students only have two hours to learn about that month’s job and then come up with how they would approach it. This new offering to students encourages them to “think on their feet” which can help with careers later in life. Pape also gave a presentation on how the social studies class is learning about presidents. The students are each given a president to learn about. They are given 10 minutes in class to learn what they can. They are then matched up with a different “president” and have to give a two-minute presentation. This has been dubbed “presidential speed dating.” Students are encouraged to create a presentation in any form they want. Pape showed a video of a student doing a parody of LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem”. The parody was about Theodore Roosevelt and had a little about his life and policies as president. A desk audit is to be preformed on the school. The audit is to make sure that there is equal access to all students. The school board must upload the minutes from each meeting as a way to have a proper record. This audit is to review policies as to show that there is no singling out based off of race, special education and other qualifications that might discriminate against a student. Larry Meyer, high school principal, was able to provide numbers on gender and minorities. According to him, there are 207 high school students. Meyer broke down statistics based on elective classes. These numbers are to show where the genders and minorities are located. In family and consumer sciences, there were 60 males, 60 females and three minorities. In agriculture, power and small engine classes, there were 64 males, eight females and one minority. In industrial tech classes, there were 40 males, two females and one minority. There is a concern with the lack of diversity, however due to the population size, it is hard to bring the diversity numbers up.

Firefighters educate school children during National Fire Safety Week; October 9-15, 2016

Children from MFL MarMac wait their turn at using the fire hoses during Nation Fire Safety Week. NOLAN PORTER, OUTLOOK EDITOR

Nolan Porter

outlook editor The students of the elementary school were bused to the Monona fire station where they were taught how to crawl under smoke and stop, drop and roll, Thursday, October 13, 2016. They also learned to check on smoke detectors and that a firefighter is not to be feared. They were shown the array of tools that the firefights use to help them fight fires. It was also stressed to have a safe spot and to never run back into a burning building.

Firefighters Jeremy and Adam from the Monona Fire Department demonstrate to children that they should look for a firefighter if they are caught in a house fire. NOLAN PORTER, OUTLOOK EDITOR

Local companies celebrate manufacturing month NOLAN PORTER

OUTLOOK EDITOR Karl Arend shows a group of students one of the many different buildings at Art’s Way Scientific Inc., Thursday, October 13, 2016. October is manufacturing month and tours were given at M’s Machine & Mfg. Co. and Art’s Way Scientific in Monona were a way to show the students the possibility of careers in manufacturing. The class first went to M’s Machine then over to Art’s Way to showcase what each company did. Arend, sales and project manager, gave the tour and a little history about the company such as the origin of the name. The founder, named Art, used to say “Art’s way or the highway” and Art’s Way stuck to the company. Arend also explained that buildings, much like the ones built by Art’s Way, were used in the early NASA programs when a chimp was launched into space. The students took a tour of the different styles of buildings and were informed about what it takes to construct the large

Luana Council readies for winter The Luana City Council held its regular monthly meeting October 6. A snow removal letter will be sent with all water bills in October as a reminder to citizens to remove snow and ice on their sidewalks this winter. Council members approved a building permit for a ramp located at 305 Truman Street. The Council designated the Luana Savings Bank as the depository for public funds belonging to City of Luana and approved a resolution establishing a policy governing the investments of city funds. Councilperson Radloff-Schneider motioned to have a checking account and two certificates of deposit that had been held under the Luana Fire Department’s name and control now be moved over to the City of

Luana and their TIN for the City to account for. The motion carried unanimously. The said accounts are still for the purpose of the Luana Volunteer Fire Department. A citizen presented a letter and photos regarding concerns with a neighbor. The citizen asks that the city address problems and concerns. The main concern was alley blocked behind their home restricting access. The council approved the FY 2016 Annual Urban Renewal Report. The Public Works Supervisor informed the council of the latest meters ordered being defective. It was the consensus of the council to purchase replacement meters. Before the meeting closed, Administrator Humble informed the council of the results from Periodic Exam.

National School Bus Safety Week October 17th- 21st, 2016 National School Bus Safety Week is October 17th to October 21st, 2016. Clayton County Sheriff Mike Tschirgi would like to remind drivers to be aware school is in session and to drive safe. Motorists are an important part of the school bus danger zone. More than onethird of all the children killed outside the school bus are run over by motorists who illegally pass a stopped school bus loading or unloading students. • It is illegal for a motorist to pass a school bus from the rear once the amber warning lights are on a school bus and prior to the bus stopping and putting it’s stop arm out. Iowa code 321.372. • It is illegal for a motorist to pass a school bus from the front, from any direction, once the “stop arm” is extended.

• Motorist should stop no closer than 15 feet front or rear of your stopped school bus. • If a school bus stops on a highway with three lanes or less, all traffic must stop for the bus, even if the motorists have two lanes going toward the bus. • If another motorist passes a bus illegally while either loading or unloading students, get the license plate and description of the vehicle and give to law enforcement. This will help the bus driver who is required by law to report it. Law enforcement then is required to issue a ticket. Thanks and be safe, Sheriff Mike Tschirgi

On October 17, the National Park Service (NPS) will begin accepting comments in advance of a public planning effort aimed at deciding the fate of infrastructure constructed within Effigy Mounds National Monument between 1999 and 2009. This planning effort will result in a document titled Targeted Development Review and Environmental Assessment (TDR/ EA) for Effigy Mounds National Monument. An initial scoping period, in which park stakeholders and the general public are invited to share their thoughts and comments prior to the NPS developing any formal alternatives, will run from October 17 through November 18. The Targeted Development Review will focus on two boardwalks, three bridges, the foundation of a modern hoop structure, and railings at the Fire Point Overlook. All of this infrastructure was constructed between 1999 and 2009 without proper compliance with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and the National Environmental

Policy Act. “Whether we keep this infrastructure or remove it, we want to make sure our decision making process faithfully fulfills the requirements of the law,” said Superintendent Jim Nepstad. One of the two boardwalks to be addressed by the planning effort stretches between the bridge adjacent to the Visitor Center and Three Mounds. The other is the Yellow River boardwalk, which extends for roughly a half-mile from the Visitor Center area through the wetlands on both sides of the Yellow River. The bridges the TDR/EA will consider include the pedestrian bridge spanning the Yellow River along the Yellow River boardwalk, and two pedestrian bridges towards the northern end of the Hanging Rock trail. A modern hoop structure was constructed in the park’s North Unit in 2007 to store mowing equipment. While it is currently dismantled, the foundation remains. The TDR/EA will determine whether this structure remains, or if removed, to what

pm at the Effigy Mounds National Monument Visitor Center, located 3 miles north of Marquette on Highway 76. Comments received will inform the NPS as alternatives and a proposed approach are crafted over the course of this winter. At this time, it is believed that a Draft Targeted Development Review and Environmental Assessment will be available for public review and comment before the spring of 2017. How to comment: Beginning October 17, comments may be submitted electronically at the project home page at http:// parkplanning.nps.gov/efmotdr, or mailed to the park at Effigy Mounds National Monument, 151 HWY 76, Harpers Ferry, IA 52146. To receive consideration, comments must be received by the end of the day on November 18, 2016.

degree we will rehabilitate the area. Finally, ironwood railings were installed at the Fire Point Overlook in 2004. Prior to this installation, no railings had been in place at this location in its 50+ year history. The ironwood railings altered the scenic view from the overlook and cannot be reliably strength-tested, making them vulnerable to breaking unpredictably when visitors lean, stand, or sit on them. The plan will guide the decision on whether to remove the railings entirely – restoring the pre-2004 appearance to the overlook – or replace them with something more substantial and reliable. Park staff will be hosting a pair of open houses in order to describe the planning effort, answer questions, and gather comments from the public prior to preparing a draft TDR/EA. The first meeting will be held on October 25, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the Marquette City Hall, located at 102 North Street in Marquette, Iowa. The second meeting will be held on October 26, from 5:00 pm to 7:00

No good choice

The most wonderful time of the year Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor One of my favorite times of the year is approaching again: Oscar season. Around this time of year a movie lover like me can feel the draught of good films. I enjoy the summer popcorn flicks just fine, but after a while, my brain becomes numb and I yearn for something more. However, I must wait through the late summer/early fall before the Oscar worthy films start coming out. These films do not have wallto-wall action, or gratuitous slow motion. I enjoy the quieter films like “Spotlight” or “Whiplash” which focus on the story and not on huge explosions. They have much deeper subjects and they give me awe at times. The films that I love are more drama based and focus on the characters in the story. Another thing about an Oscar worthy film is it may not make a ton of money, but it pleases the critics. I do not live or die but what critics say, but it gives me an idea if I should check it out or not. I have agreed and disagreed with critic’s verdicts a lot. It all depends on what I enjoy or think is a good movie. I may sound like I am coming off as a film snob and, yes, I kind of am. I always liked film until college. I decided to minor in film (basically for fun) and fell in love with movies. I know the history and the art of the medium. I came to truly appreciate a good film on every aspect. The acting and directing are just a few things that I notice. I love a good camera angle or a great film score. The technical side is what I get excited about the most, which is

why I love this time of year. The bad, scary films are already leaving theaters and teasers are getting released for the critic pleasing ones. This is the time of year when studios put out what they think could be Film of the Year. Now, all in all, the Oscars do not mean anything. The Academy Awards were created as the industry’s way of acknowledging hard work. It is basically a way to pat each other on the back. That being said, I still love to watch the spectacle. I see it as a sporting event. I have my favorites that I root for and get disappointed when a film I liked did not win anything. I also love to have a yearly bucket list of films. When certain films get a lot of hype, I try my best to see them in theaters and get the full experience. Something I will see a film and think, “wow, that was great!” Other times I think, “what’s the big deal?” It is all apart of Oscar season to thrill me. Even if my favorite film doesn’t win, I can still enjoy it for what it is. I have a lot of movies that I think should have won more awards, but didn’t. “Whiplash” and “Mad Max: Fury Road” are some of my favorite movies in recent history, but they did not win many awards during the years they were nominated at the Oscars. However, I can still pop them in my Blu-Ray player and watch them again and again. I enjoy dissecting films and discussing them in depth with my friends. Some people breakdown sports; I breakdown film. I will say that I get a bit too uppity about the films I like and dislike, which is a can of worms. Film, like all art, is subjective. Just

because I hate the “Transformers” movies, does not mean others don’t. I like “Greed” and “Seven Samurai” but I know some people find those boring. And that is perfectly fine. There are so many films out there that there is something for everyone. That is why I love the Oscars. I get to sit in my home and get a taste of Hollywood that I may never get to experience myself. As much I do love the Oscars and the films that are acknowledged, there is no simpler pleasure in life to going to a theater. Even when I have had to sit through bad movies, because I had to review it, I just love the entire movie-going experience. Of course, that is just me. Some people do not like movies and that is fine. For me, movies are a great passion and I am always in the mood to talk about film, old and new. If you ever want to get some movie history and just talk about what you saw over the weekend, I would love hear it.

Antique Spotlight: GE Cellular Phone

NOlan POrter

OUtlook Editor In a recent study, roughly half of America has cut their landline phone in favor of the cellular phone. The cell phone is a piece of technology that has been taken for granted by the young and old. Cell phones today are said to be more powerful than the computers that sent the Apollo astronauts to the moon in 1969. Cell phones have a more modern history that only dates back to the late 1910’s. Phones had been around for decades when the Germans decided to try wireless phones on their military trains. When Germany lost the war, wireless phones were set back a few years and a public version was tested in 1924. However, the early “phones” were glorified radios. The idea of a mobile phone was not the same that is thought of today. They had to be attached to a power source and were very heavy. The first real portable “phone” was a radio until used by the U.S. military in 1940, invented by Motorola. It was large and had to be worn of the back. A handheld version was invited later, but it was not as strong as the backpack version. However, the first mobile communication devices were based off of radio transmissions and were capable of making calls to actual telephones. The advent of the car phone in 1946 meant phone calls could be made to other phones. It was limited to the city it was in and had a limited amount of calling capability. The car phone was the only real way for mobile phones to become a reality. It wasn’t until 1973 when Motorola

researcher Martin Cooper created the first mobile phone. It only had enough power for a 30-minute phone call and took a reported 10 hours to charge, but a person could call someone else with no wires attached. The first mobile phone also weighed 2.5 pounds, so it was not an easy thing to carry. Although this was amazing technology for the time, it took another 10 years before the public could get access to the phones. Japan had set up a small network in 1979 but calls from anywhere were unheard of. The first network for phones was launched in Finland in 1981. The FCC finally approved the commercial use of mobile phones in 1983. The Motorola DynaTAC, the first commercially available phone, still had low talk time and weight issues, but it was still very popular. It was nicknamed the “brick” due

to the shape and weight, but that did not deter people from paying $4000 in 1983 for the phone. Soon, the cell phone race was one. Nokia and other companies started to develop their own mobile phones. The phone pictured here, is one of General Electric’s attempt to break into the cell phone market. Phones technology began to change about once a decade. When the 1990’s came around, phones were changed to what was called 2G networks, which was digital. They were more sophisticated and much more reliable than previous versions. Another important thing about the 1990’s were phones started to weigh less and shrink in size. Now a phone could fit in someone’s pocket with ease. They also had a much longer battery life. By the 21st century, cell phones were seen everywhere. They did not cost a large amount of money and were getting smaller and faster with each year. Soon smartphones were introduced and the “dumb” phones from the past were getting replaced at a staggering rate. Texting became the preferred form of communication over a phone call. Phones started to get faster and could even access the Internet. By 2016, cell phones can play games, access emails and do other things only previously dreamed of. As with all modern technology, it is hard to say if cell phones will ever slow down or lose popularity. Like cars, they are part of everyday American life. It is becoming harder to imagine a time without cell phones. The idea of a portable phone is less than a century old, and yet the term “phone” keeps evolving each year.

I’d hate to own a bumper sticker company right now. “None of the above” just doesn’t cut it when we are struggling to be positive. I’ve shied away from the presidential election in this column because my optimistic side wants to believe it doesn’t matter. If you’ve used my short reading list (The Law, 1850) you’ll know that Frederic Bastiat rightly points out that in a nation with law, elections should be of little consequence because law applied in its proper use restricts government to preserving the rights of individuals as long as there is no right taken from someone else to that end. All the other functions of society can best be guided by free association in a free market. The reason the presidential election has become so prevalent in the news is because there is so much at stake in this “advance auction sale of stolen goods,” as H.L. Mencken describes elections. People seem flabbergasted that out of 320 million Americans we are now faced with choosing between The Donald and Hill. There are actually 1,910 people (I assume they are people) who have filed with the Federal Election Commission. But the media only sees fit to present two for our perusal. I guess there might be one out of the 1,910 who is literate and would stand by his oath, but with all the loot that’s at stake in this auction there is not much chance we will ever know who that is. Since government has evolved into a force of theft (democracy), the good people have decided to stay out of it. They are productive in the private sector instead of

sticking their noses into other peoples’ business. They don’t see a need for forcing people to buy “alternative” energy that the market has determined to be too expensive. They don’t see a need to tell other countries how to run their own affairs and they don’t see a need to tell people here at home how to live their lives either. But politicians truly believe that bureaucrats and committees can manage society better than an aggregate of millions of personal choices. They believe totalitarianism can provide greater prosperity than freedom. That ignorance of economic principles is what drives them to seek public office. And the belief that productive endeavors further the good things in society better than government edict is what keeps the good people out of the political realm and on the job. I haven’t watched any of the “debates” because my time is too valuable, but the word is that a school yard brawl is more civil and productive and the debates only reflect on the unsuitability of the candidates and the so-called moderators. But maybe these people are exceptionally suited to an office that has evolved from executing constitutionally legislated law to crime boss.

Letter to the Editor Jan Heikes will make an effective state Senator for Northeast Iowa. Here’s why. I first got to know Jan almost 20 years ago when she was mental health and developmental disabilities (MH/DD) manager for Winneshiek (later Allamakee too) County. I had a similar job in Iowa City and we worked together at regional and state meetings. Jan quickly became the unofficial leader of this group of county MH/DD officials. We were grappling with complex issues of state and county funding and advocacy for people with disabilities. Jan emerged as someone who would listen for a while to our sometimes heated debates and then would calmly make a suggestion that we hadn’t thought of—a suggestion that got us thinking in a fresh way. She would bring us back together to craft an effective solution that worked for the whole group. She seemed to have a knack for coming up with creative common

sense solutions rather than getting drawn into acrimonious debates. She was consistently able to get us back to thinking about the welfare of all of our clients and all of the counties. People listened when she spoke. Jan used this effective style of common sense problem solving repeatedly in working with Boards of Supervisors and agencies in Northeast Iowa over the years. Jan’s remarkable ability to unite contending factions behind effective solutions that work for the common good of all is sorely needed in our legislature where partisan gridlock is all too frequent. Jan is a professional social worker who has dedicated her life to helping others, to building stronger families and communities. She will bring a breath of fresh air to the political debates in Des Moines. Let’s elect Jan Heikes to the Senate. Craig Mosher Decorah IA 52101

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor The future of Iowa depends upon strong and thoughtful leadership at all levels of government. That is why we will be voting for Jan Heikes for Iowa State Senate in November. Jan has a history of working at both local and state levels, especially for those who find that their voices are not often heard. She believes in building community for all and in building communities that provide education, services and support for each individual. Her background in policy and planning is a good fit for Iowa government. Jan is an attentive listener who takes what she learns and applies it to appropriate action. We urge you to find out more about Jan at www.janheikes.com <http://www. janheikes.com/> and consider joining us in a vote for Jan and a positive Iowa future. Linda and Bob Watson Decorah

Think pink, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Fall has arrived and each October we remind area residents that it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to join the annual effort to increase awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection. “About 1 in 8 women in the United States will get breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. That is an alarming statistic— although the good news is, through research and improvements in early detection and treatment, millions of women are surviving breast cancer today,” explains Tim Clark, Medical Imaging Director at Crossing Rivers Health. The Mammography team at Crossing Rivers Health remind women to make healthy lifestyle choices, including scheduling their annual breast cancer screening. The new 3D™ Tomosynthesis Mammography at Crossing Rivers Health is the most advanced technology available to detect breast cancer and provides a superior mammogram for all breast types. The new technology captures 120 images of each breast to create a detailed, 3D image which allows the radiologist to see right through dense tissue in greater detail, helping to identify small calcifications that could be potential cancers. Over a decade’s time, research shows more than half of women without cancer who get mammograms will be called back for more tests and one in 12 will be referred for a biopsy. That adds up to a lot of worry and unnecessary procedures. 3D mammography solves many of the issues of uncertainty and fear, by providing more images for the radiologist. Tim Clark adds, “Crossing Rivers Health is able to provide any breast imaging service available within the Medical Imaging

Department: breast ultrasound guided biopsies, stereotactic 3D biopsies, and breast MRI. We are pleased to offer the 3D mammogram at no extra charge. We believe every woman should have access to the benefits of 3D mammography, without the extra worry of having to pay more. You do not have to have your mammogram ordered by a doctor or other healthcare provider. We only need the name of your health care provider so that we may send him or her the final report.” According to the American Cancer Society, simply being a woman is the main risk factor for breast cancer. Men can have breast cancer too, but breast cancer is about 100 times more common in women than in men. Some risk factors for breast cancer, such as age, can't be avoided. On the other hand, there are some risks that you can control. It's important to be aware both of the risks you can't change and of those you can do something about. Risks you cannot control • Family history. If people in your family have had breast cancer, you may have a higher risk for the disease. This is especially true if you have multiple close relatives who had breast cancer. Overall, less than 15 percent of women with breast cancer have a family member with the disease. • Genes. Some gene mutations can increase your risk for breast cancer. If you inherit an altered BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, your risk of breast cancer increases dramatically. Other genes are under study for their role in the development of breast cancer. • Age. Your risk of breast cancer increases sharply around age

55. That's part of the reason the ACS recommends regular mammograms for all women age 45 and older. • Previous cancer. Having cancer in one breast increases your risk for cancer in the other breast or for a second cancer in the same breast. • Early menarche. If your first menstrual period occurred before you were 12, your risk of breast cancer is slightly higher than women whose first period occurred later. • Late menopause. Studies show that women who reach menopause after age 55 have an increased risk for breast cancer. • Radiation therapy to the chest. Women who have had radiation therapy to the chest as children or young adults are at higher risk for breast cancer, especially if the therapy was given while the breasts were still developing in adolescence. • Diethylstilbestrol (DES). If your mother took DES while she was pregnant with you, you have a higher risk of breast cancer. From 1938 until 1971, this drug was prescribed for some women to help prevent miscarriage. • Some noncancerous breast changes. Some types of breast conditions are linked to a higher risk for breast cancer. Some conditions raise the risk only slightly, while others can raise it by as much as five times. If you've had a breast biopsy, your doctor can help you understand how the results reflect on your breast cancer risk. Risks you can control • Hormones. Using hormone therapy after menopause,

especially if it includes estrogen and progesterone, increases breast cancer risk. Women who use oral contraceptives have a slightly higher breast cancer risk than women who have never used them. • Obesity. Being overweight can increase breast cancer risk, especially after menopause. The increased risk seems to only apply to women who became overweight as adults. • Alcohol. Research clearly shows that drinking alcohol increases breast cancer risk, according to the ACS. Women who have one drink a day have a slightly increased risk, and

women who drink more than that have about 1.5 times the risk of women who don't drink alcohol. • Exercise. Women who get regular exercise have a lower risk for breast cancer. A Women's Health Initiative study showed that 1.25 to 2.5 hours of brisk walking each week reduced women's breast cancer risk by 18 percent. • Pregnancies. Women with no biological children have a higher risk for breast cancer, as do women who gave birth for the first time at age 30 or older. • Breastfeeding. Women who breastfeed their children,

especially if they breastfeed for 1.5 to 2 years, may have a lower risk of breast cancer. Information provided by the American Cancer Society.

YOLO-Be Drug Free the 2016 theme for Red Ribbon Week “YOLO. Be Drug Free” was created by two sixth grade students in Permsylvania! Red Ribbon Week, celebrated October 23-31 is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. It began to connnemorate the murder of DEA agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena at the hands of Mexican drug traffickers in 1985. Thus began the tradition of displaying a red ribbon as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. This weeklong observance serves as an armual opportunity for communities and individuals to affinn their commitment to healthy and drugfree lives and help educate others. Abuse of alcohol, prescription medications and illicit drugs are a problem throughout the United States. Yet communities vary greatly in the specific problems they

can participate in Red Ribbon Week as well, by encouraging staff to wear red ribbons or red clothing and decorating their doors or windows with red items. The Clayton County Community Collaboration Council (SC) is working with area businesses, schools, govermnent, and law enforcement agencies to promote Red Ribbon Week. Members of the coalition have collected donations from area businesses to support Red Ribbon Week activities within the area schools and to provide educational opportunities for youth. To date, the list of donors includes: Freedom Bank, Elkader; Breitbach Garage, North Buena Vista; Gamavillo Auto and Tire; Meuser Lumber Company, Guttenberg; Strutt Chiropractic Clinic, McGregor; SMI- Seedorff Masonry, Strawberry Point; KCTN FM 100.0/ AM 1400; Bodensteiner Implement, Elkader; Birdnow Chevrolet, Monona; Farmers Saving Bar1k, Strawberry Point; Meyer Auto Service, Monona; R Place, Monona; J & J Power

face. Here in Clayton County, alcohol continues to be the drug of choice for abuse by underage youth as evidenced by the most recent Iowa Youth Survey. In 2014, 23% of 11th grade students within the county reported drinking alcohol within the past 30 days; this is a decrease of 3% from 2012. However, students in grades 6, 8 and 11 still report 30 day drinking at higher levels than across the state. Additionally, 11th grade students in Clayton County reported binge drinking (consuming five or more drinks) at a rate of 14%. While progress is being made, there is still work to do and this requires a collaborative effort by the entire community. Area schools promote Red Ribbon Week through a variety of activities; including presentations, education, and of course, the wearing of red ribbons. Businesses

Water temperatures have fallen into the upper 50's. There is still a lot of current and debris coming downriver this week making fishing a challenge. Expect flows to return to normal over the next few weeks. Fishing will be more productive in backwaters and side channels away from the strong main channel current.

to stay in the contest, but Ed-Co was able to secure the final set and the win. 25-22, Ed-Co was the final score. Senior Amber Adney, who had five kills and 14 attack attempts, led the offensive side of the ball. The team was able to put up a combined 10 kills, 10 assists and 45 attempts. However, there were 11 kill errors, which hurt the team in the long run. The offense had a hard time getting any traction but the defense was able to show better production. Andey had 10 digs and two solo blocks. Senior Aspen Havlicek had eight digs and senior Kelsi Davis seven solo blocks. The team looked sharper on the defense and had a combined 40 digs and 33 total blocks. The game was the final game of the regular season.

Outkook Editor The Bulldogs football team traveled to Sumner-Fredericksburg for one of their final games this year, Friday, Oct. 14. The Bulldogs faced the Cougars, who had the same record as the MFL MarMac team going into the matchup. The Bulldogs had a tough time moving the ball with the passing game. Senior Bryar Ruff was only able to connect with his receivers seven times for a total of 77 yards. Junior Levi Ferguson had two catches for 40 yards total and senior Chase Stubbs also had two catches for 19 yards. However, the offense threw three interceptions, which crippled the Bulldogs’ attack. The ground game saw more production in terms of offense, with 127 total yards. Stubbs led the team with 11 carries for 58 yards. Although the running game saw more action, the sole touchdown was delivered in air to Ruff from junior Mason
