Outlook Editor In a unanimous vote, the Monona City Council decided to not go through with the zoning reclassification, which would allow Dollar General to be built. The council opened the meeting to public discussion on Monday, October 17 and allowed for comments about the proposed zoning change. A large group of people living in the Gordon sub division came to voice their concerns about the placement of the proposed store. The council reminded everyone that this meeting was to decide on the zoning change of the land, not the actual store being built. If the land were changed from residential to highway commercial, then Dollar General would proceed with construction plans. A member of the Overland Group, which represents Dollar General’s interest, was present via phone and after hearing the public he stated that even if the land were reclassified Dollar General would not build on that location, due to the subdivision covenant. The Gordon subdivision
covenant states that 75 percent of the people living there had to agree for the zone reclassification. It was reported that a survey was sent out in March and 75 percent of the residents agreed to the Dollar General at that time. A more recent vote was taken and it showed that more than 75 percent were against the store location. The residents and owners of the subdivision stated they still want the store, but not at that planned spot. “We don’t want it,” one resident said, speaking about the location. The main arguments against the store were the amount of light produced by the building, the increased sound via traffic and the possibility that land values would decrease. The future of a Dollar General in Monona is unknown at this time. The Eastern Iowa Excavating & Concrete LLC approached the council for an additional $5514 to deal with seven areas that are too sharp of a turn to fit equipment in to. The council agreed to the additional cost.

City Council City of Monona accepting applications for From front Jenna Pollock approached the city council about trails. Pollock was representing the Clayton County Conservation Board and she outlined what the Board wanted to do. The conservation board has started to keep track of all the trails in Clayton County, which includes the ones in Monona and the trails that have been proposed. The idea is that county and local agencies will work together to maintain and keep up to date on all the trails. This also means that Monona will be given support for their new trails they plan to build. The city council approved Portzen Construction’s fourth pay request for $55,152. This is part of the planned construction on the sewer system. There is an additional $100,000 that is still needed to finish the job. An additional $500 has been donated to the hotel feasibility study. The total amount donated is at $1000. In January the city will approach Alliant Energy in hopes to obtain another grant that will cover the majority of the first phase of the hotel study. The first phase is estimated to cost $3000-3500. The police department has requested for more shifts for the reserve police officers. There is a want to get more work done at the police station, which means that more officers would be needed to be patrolling. The council decided to approve the increased shifts. Rogeta Halvorson gave the quarterly report on the Monona Chamber and Economic Development. Halvorson said she was starting to prepare the budget for next and is going to start the membership drive soon. There will be a free business consulting made available for any business owners. Finally, Halvorson mention that she is attempting to get companies to look at the CVG building and see if they might be interested in moving into the space.

Obituaries Willis Werner Johanningmeier, 95, of Monona, Iowa died Sunday, October 16, 2016 at Great River Care Center, McGregor, Iowa. Willis was born on July 14, 1921 to William and Johanna (Wagner) Johanningmeier in Clayton County, Iowa. He attended country school through the eighth grade. Willis was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Monona, Iowa. Willis was united in marriage with Gertrude Hertrampf in 1940 at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Monona, Iowa. Gertrude passed away in 1956. On July 4, 1959, Willis was united in marriage with Mildred Schlitter at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. Mildred passed on February 21, 1999. During the past fifteen years, Willis shared his life with special friend Frances Rothmeyer. Willis lived and farmed in rural Monona his entire life. He was always looking for new ways to do things. He was the first farmer in Allamakee County to build bench terraces and was a pioneer in converting to a milking parlor system and to hog confinement. Willis loved grubbing trees with his cat and blasting stumps to clear more land. He was constantly remodeling or building something. When finishing a day of work, every tool was in its place and no machinery was left out. Willis was a life time member of St. Paul Lutheran Church. He served on the church council. Faith was an important part of his life and he kept the Sabbath holy. He was accepting of what life brought his way. For several years Willis enjoyed serving on the REC board which involved traveling and meeting new people. When meeting someone for the first time, they left as friends. Willis and Mildred enjoyed
many winters in Texas, Florida and Arizona. They liked bowling, fishing, gambling, playing cards, and shuffleboard. When Willis retired, he took up golf, gardening and restoring antique tractors. When tractor rides became popular, Willis joined in. He liked adventure and new things. He spent a month in Alaska and tried deep sea fishing. A highlight of his life was the two mule rides down the Grand Canyon with family. Willis enjoyed driving fast, wearing bib overalls and having a good Copenhagen chew. He was a man on the move. Willis lived from the heart, loved his family, was a hard-working farmer and had a special fondness for children with all the joy they brought with them.

The Space race is on, again
Ruff Report
Despite lower than expected economic growth, good news still to be found in latest REC report The non-partisan Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) held their October meeting and made new revenue estimates for fiscal years 2017 and 2018. Each fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30. Members reached the conclusion that while Iowa’s economy isn’t growing by leaps and bounds, high points such as low unemployment continue to push Iowa’s economy forward. The last time that REC met was in March, and since that time FY 2016’s revenue was $27 million less than previously anticipated. Even with the lower than projected growth, there was enough of an ending balance to fill Iowa’s reserve funds to the statutory requirements for FY 2017. Our reserve funds remain full at over $700 million. Fiscal year’s 2017 estimate was lowered by $49.3 million, resulting in a new revenue estimate of $7.308 billion. This new estimate equates to a 5.6% increase over FY 16, which should be a boom in revenue - except that the revenues for FY 16 were lower than anticipated. This increase, while not as high as some would like, still represents a continued growth in our economy. The Legislature and Governor have already approved a budget for FY 2017 totaling $7.350 billion, and while this is lower than the predicted revenue at this point in time, there’s plenty of time for the economy to make a comeback between now and the next REC meeting, which is in December. The REC kept their previous growth estimate of 4.1%, which equates to $7.607 billion in revenue for FY 2018. When the Legislature returns in January, one of the items that must be done is to pass a budget for FY 2018, which runs from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018. The REC will update this FY 2018 estimate at their December meeting. The Legislature and the Governor will use the REC’s December estimate when they begin their budgeting process. Apply for Heating Assistance Beginning Nov. 1 Now that the cold weather has arrived, many people are getting their furnaces tuned up for the winter months, and some are concerned about the cost of their
heating bills. Beginning November 1, residents that qualify can sign up to receive assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Households that qualify are protected from natural gas or electric service disconnections from November 1 through April 1. In order to qualify for LIHEAP, the total household income must be at or below 175% of the federal poverty level. Persons interested in applying should contact their local community action agency, which can be found by visiting https:// humanrights.iowa.gov/dcaa/whereapply, or can call the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program in the Department of Human Services at 515-281-0859. Last session, the Legislature passed a bill directing the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to create a turtle harvesting season and daily catch limits for both commercial and recreational use. Proposed rules were sent to the Governor’s Office, where they were sent back to DNR to get more input from the various stakeholder groups. In response, the DNR set up several public hearings around the state on November 29. The meetings will be held at the following times and locations: • 3:00 p.m. Marr Park Conservation Education Center, Ackworth, Iowa • 5:00 p.m. Wallace State Office Building, Des Moines, Iowa • 7:00 p.m. Lost Island Nature Center, Ruthven, Iowa During their October meeting, the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) approved a July 16-May 14 season with both commercial and recreational harvesters able to take a total of six turtles per day. This season is longer than the one previously requested, but fewer turtles are allowed to be caught per day. If these rules successfully go through both the new public comment period and the administrative rules process, the season and catch limits could go into effect as early as February, 2017. The Department of Education (DE) has released a draft of revised
Patti Ruff
Iowa State Representative District 56 statewide standards for social studies and announced members of a new state team who will conduct a public review of the draft standards. The draft standards, developed over the past year by an Iowa writing team, outlines what students should know and be able to do in social studies from kindergarten through 12th grade. According to the team, the standards will emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and weave in Iowa history and financial literacy, which are not reflected in the current social studies standards. The Social Studies Standards Review Team will convene Tuesday, Nov. 8 to begin a public review of the draft social studies standards (Room B100 (basement level) of the Grimes State Office Building, 400 E. 14th St., in Des Moines. Meetings are open to the public. In order to graduate, Iowa high school students are required to pass at least 1 semester of Government and a 2nd semester which could be classes such as World History, Geography, Economics, or an additional Government course (some districts may have additional requirements). Feel free to contact me anytime regarding issues important to you at Patti.Ruff@legis.iowa.gov. Until next week!
Letter to the Editor Letter to the Editor: We the residents of Northeast Iowa appreciate our fire fighters and medical personnel who volunteer to protect, save and heal us. Numerous men and women out of their generosity donate their time to train, go to school and regularly update their skills as fire fighters and medical personnel. Your value to our communities cannot be measured, however during the month of October you appear in our local newspapers in front of your equipment for all to see and take note of your importance to our communities. During that time many local departments do tours of their fire
houses and ambulance garages to show our school children their vehicles, equipment and teach them the proper procedures to make contact in emergency situations. We know that we are not alone in wanting to thank all of you and show our appreciation for all you do. Because we are some of the many who rely on volunteers, and know their commitment to community projects, we felt compelled to write this letter and publicly thank all of you for your commitment in protecting our towns and citizens in Northeast Iowa. Sincerely, John and Mary Fran Nikolai

Outlook editor On August 6, 2012, I sat in my friend’s basement as we watched the Curiosity rover land on Mars. We saw the NASA control explode with cheers and I was moved. That was a great day to be an astronomy lover, like myself. Mars was up close and we, as humans, got to see Mars in a new, high definition way that we could only dream of. Rocks were examined under a microscope and the vast mountain ranges could be seen on the ground and not from a satellite. The rover even found water seeping from the ground! The rover takes photos that are sent across the vast gulf of space and I can look at them on my phone. We live in amazing time and I am grateful I am still young enough to experience the proposed next step. The next step I am talking about is sending humans to Mars. This may seem like it is a work of science fiction, but there is a lot of support for the long trek. NASA, of course, has been working hard to obtain data and has started planning to take the nine-month voyage. NASA wants to send people to Mars by 2030 but private companies want to go sooner. SpaceX is a private company that is working to go to Mars before NASA. SpaceX has sparked something that has not been seen since the mid 1970’s. They are essentially creating a private space race. After Elon Musk and his company SpaceX released a video showcasing what they have planned for the future of space travel, other companies have decided to step up and try their hand at commercial space travel. SpaceX and other companies are already being used to help resupply the International Space Station. The storied company, Boeing, has stepped up and said they will begin work on Mars mission capabilities. This, to me, is one of the most exciting times in modern human history. But besides the “wow” factor of sending people to Mars, what does it really mean for the American people and the people of the world? For starters, every dollar that the government puts in NASA has about an $8 return. So spending money on NASA makes more money in the long run. It encourages companies to invest in new technology that is available because of space exploration. Technology saw a huge swing upwards during the Apollo program because of the need for it. Humans love to explore and when there is
a need to explore, humans will do anything they can to sate that urge. The public reaps the benefits of the space race. Other countries are trying to get involved with this new space race. India has sent a satellite to Mars recently and it shows that other countries are hungry for exploration. If we are to win this new race, the government needs to be supportive of NASA. Private companies are the new way humans will travel through space. NASA will still govern these but once companies get approval, people can take commercial flights to space. Although this may be my generation’s space race, this one will be much different than the first one. There are no “enemies” to speak of that want to beat America to Mars, which encourages cooperation from other nations. However, NASA and American companies will be doing much of the work at this time. The glory days of space exploration were long thought dead, especially after the end of the Cold War. And America would have been left in the vacuum of space while other power countries aimed for Mars. Musk is thinking into the future and not just his own future. He understands that humanity needs to grow outward and not inward. Earth has been likened to spaceship, meaning that we are all flying around space with only way to travel. We can’t roll down the window and throw out trash or stop and let some people off. We, as a species, need to boldly go where no one has gone before and that place just happens to be Mars. It will not be an easy task to complete. Even with bold thinkers at the private companies, it will be a challenge. However, it can and will be done. It is ambitious and daring, but it was the same at the start of the 1960’s. The moon seemed so far and yet Americans were the first and only ones to succeed. This is a hurdle that Americans love to race towards. Our country was built on explorers and people who were willing to risk so much. Mars is our new Wild West. Mars is waiting for us and all we have to do is make the giant leap into the void.
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: I am writing to encourage voters to know Jan Heikes, candidate for Iowa Senate District 28, covering Allamakee, Clayton, and most of Fayette and Winneshiek counties. Jan is concerned about what’s happening to Iowa’s mental health services (rated the worst in the nation), our water quality (ranked the second worst in the nation), and our public education (ignored by our governor and his party). She supports renewable energy jobs and tax credits. She knows that climate change is real and here. She wants to change the influence
that the master matrix system has on CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) so that they cannot overburden our air and water quality. She wants to work to build a better future for all of northeast Iowa’s families and children. Jan grew up in rural Kansas with small-town Midwestern roots and values. She is a social worker, working specifically in the areas of mental health and disabilities. She has worked within the northeast multi-county area with county supervisors, state agencies and funding streams to bring costeffective help to northeast Iowans. When faced with declining funding streams for needed services, she
worked with service providers to switch to federal monies, keeping services costs low and bringing more federal dollars to NE Iowa. Currently she works in Des Moines with the Department of Human Services to insure these same systems are available within communities across the state to the clients and their families that need them. She knows how to listen to all points of view and will work to find the best solution that works for the most people. She is a hard-working advocate and all of us in northeast Iowa can benefit, if you will join me in voting for Jan Heikes for Iowa Senate. Leslie Sand, Decorah, IA

As long as Stauffer could hear and be heard it was acceptable per Iowa Code to interact with discussion. Stauffer was called at 6:02 P.M. and placed on speaker phone. Mayor Passmore opened the Public Hearing at 6:02 P.M. Administrator stated the purpose of the hearing was to review and discuss a recommendation from the Monona Planning & Zoning Commission regarding the request from ‘The Overland Group’ to Rezone Lot 19 of Gordon Residential Subdivision for a Dollar General Store. It was explained that at conclusion of October 4th Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing, on a 4-3 vote, the P & Z Commission recommended Monona City Council change the zoning in the Gordon Subdivision from R-2 Residential Multi-Family Dwelling to C-1A Highway Commercial. The commission was split on the zoning decision because of opposition voiced by several property owners and renters from the Gordon Subdivision. Concerns included nighttime noise, exterior lighting, impact on property values, highway entrance safety issues. It was also questioned at the P&Z Hearing as to whether subdivision property owners had previously approved a change in restrictive covenants that would allow a zoning change by the city for Lot 19. Mayor Passmore then asked for comments from attendees. Barb Berns, speaking for property owners of the Gordon Residential Subdivision, stated they would like to express their rights regarding proposed change in zoning for Lot 19 south of Beinborn apartments. Berns explained their position opposing the zoning change and submitted a petition signed by ten (10) property owners (w/ one (1) owner neutral) and ten (10) residents of the Gordon Subdivision. The petition stated: “According to the covenant each property owner signed at time of purchase, 75% of approval is required to change status to our covenant put forth by the city. Certainly, we would like to see Dollar General establish business in this community, however, the proposed change in zoning and eventual build of Dollar General sixty-five (65) feet from the closest residents and the noise, lights, increased traffic, will significantly alter the residential atmosphere we were guaranteed prior to our purchases”. John Elledge said the decision before the council is whether to accept or reject the proposed change in zoning and not about whether we’re welcoming Dollar General to Monona. Everyone in attendance agreed they want Dollar General to build in Monona. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the subdivision restrictive covenants and whether a vote conducted by Monona Enterprises March 2, 2016 actually authorized a change in covenant provisions whereby a commercial build-

ing could be situated on Lot 19. It was stated that actual results of that vote have not been released. Administrator Canton indicated the city received notification from Monona Enterprises in March of subdivision approval and only recently initiated the zoning change process after the Dollar General submitted a site plan as required. He further stated that subdivision covenants are not city ordinances and that provisions of the covenants are established and approved by subdivision property owners. Council member Koenig stated it is not the city’s job to enforce or regulate how the vote was taken regarding covenants as it pertains to zoning. Jake Stauffer of the Overland Group commented that the zoning matter and the subdivision covenants are essentially two (2) separate issues. City attorney Schiller stated city council could approve the rezoning contingent upon resolving the covenant issues and subsequent sale of Lot 19. The city council also has the option to reject the proposed zoning change. Property owners again stated they were opposed to the rezoning. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Passmore closed the hearing at 6:29 P.M. 4) Consider Final Determination Pertaining to Request from ‘The Overland Group’ to Rezone Lot 19 of Gordon Residential Subdivision for a Dollar General Store: At conclusion of discussion and comments, it was moved by Elledge, seconded by Havlicek, to reject proposed request from The Overland Group to amend the zoning classification of Lot 19 in the Gordon Subdivision from R-2 Residential ~ Multi-Family Dwelling to C-1A Highway Commercial. Roll Call Vote: Ayes – Five (5). Nays – None.

41st Annual Soil Judging Contest held at Osborne Pond, Elkader
Black Hills Energy offers tips to prepare for winter months to come Winter will arrive sooner than we think, and Black Hills Energy is encouraging everyone to be prepared instead of waiting for the snow to fly. “Like a fireman when the bell rings, Black Hills Energy’s winter emergency plans are in place and our employees are ready to respond quickly and effectively when called upon,” said Tracy Peterson, vice president of Black Hills Energy’s Iowa natural gas operations. “Safe, reliable service is always our priority,” he said. “We offer safety tips and suggestions at www. blackhillsenergy.com <http://www. blackhillsenergy.com> to help our customers prepare as well.” “Natural gas is a clean, safe, reliable source of energy for heating more than 70 million homes in the United States,” Peterson said. “You schedule regular maintenance on a car for efficient performance, safe operation and longer life. In the same way, it’s important to get an annual furnace inspection and tune-up to ensure that your heating equipment is running safely, properly and efficiently.” A few items to have on hand should a winter storm impact the operation of your heating equipment, a supply of blankets, flashlights and fresh batteries (including a fully charged
cellphone battery) are a good start including non-perishable foods that don’t need to be cooked or refrigerated. If downed limbs or other incidents interrupt power, don’t open the refrigerator any more than necessary as cold and frozen food can last up to 24 hours if left undisturbed. Black Hills Energy also recommends regularly inspected carbon monoxide detectors. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless byproduct of the incomplete burning of fuels including wood, gasoline, charcoal and natural gas. Signs of a potential carbon monoxide leak can include, but are not limited to, flulike symptoms – a scratchy throat, runny nose, headache, drowsiness or nausea. Other indicators could include frosted windows due to excessive humidity, or a draft from the front of the furnace when it is not turned on. If you ever believe you smell natural gas or think carbon monoxide is present, leave the premises immediately and call 911 and Black Hills Energy’s emergency service line, 888-694-8989. “If you’re a Black Hills Energy customer and you have questions about home heating safety, please consult www.blackhillsenergy.com <http://www.blackhillsenergy.com> or call us,” Peterson said.
On September 29th, thirty-eight students from three local high schools gathered at the Osborne Pond site near Elkader for the 41st annual Clayton Soil & Water Conservation District soil judging contest. Members of the Ed-Co, Postville, and MFL Mar-Mac FFA chapters judged soil profiles, tested their pacing ability, flagged contour lines, and completed a written quiz on soil properties. The contest provides an opportunity for contestants to develop and practice skills needed to evaluate and protect our natural resources. This year’s top soil judging team was from MFL Mar-Mac. Team members included Derek Larsen, Skylar Moser, Beau Benzing, and Chloe Hubanks. The team from Ed-Co took second. Team members included Trevor Hosington, Kohl Moser, Calvin Heims, and Matt Hense. Conner Meyer, Collin Malcom, Hailey Shipp, and Cora Baker from Postville took third. Soil judging contestants complete a written quiz and evaluate soil profiles from three different sites. Contest questions are based on the properties of the soils and proper management practices. Students from MFL Mar Mac swept the
individual soil judge honors. Derek Larson was the top individual soil judge. Skylar Moser took second, and Beau Benzing was the third place individual soil judge. This year’s top contour layout team was from Ed-Co. Team members were Trevor Hosington and Tanner Paul. Caden Stuckman, Gavin Hertrampf, and Kutter

Anderson from MFL Mar-Mac took second. Blake Brainard and Braxton Jones from MFL Mar-Mac placed third. Contestants attempt to layout
a level contour line over a long, winding field. The first place team from Ed-Co flagged a contour line that was within nine hundredths of a foot from being level. Caden Stuckman of MFL MarMac took first place in this year’s pacing contest. Cory Klose of Ed-Co placed second. Zach Trudo of MFL Mar-Mac took third. Caden judged the length of a 1,023 foot pacing course within four feet. NRCS Area Agronomist Neil Sass served as official judge of the soil pits, and provided a rainfall simulator demonstration for contestants. Ray’s Excavating, Edgewood, constructed the soil pits and provided time and equipment for the contest. Technical assistance was provided by the staff of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office in Elkader: Pat Schaefers, Rocky Thein, Eric Palas, Steve Kiley, Gina Parker, Helen Leavenworth, Nic Zmoos, and Jordyn Bollinger.

MFL MarMac High School addresses student parking
Responsibility centered; discipline in MFL MarMac
Nick Larson
Media Class Journalist MFL MarMac High School has seen a lot of new changes this year. Minor changes, one would think, but one change that has students stirred up about is the new student parking policy. Mr. Meyer, high school principal, and teachers volunteering their input on the “handbook committee” came together to establish a new parking rule for students. This year the school made the transition from assigned parking to first come first served parking. Mr. Meyer stated that in the past assigned parking was more beneficial because of all the students that needed parking. The main reason Mr. Meyer changed the parking rule is because there are fewer number of students in the parking lot. But, before all of this, the current student parking lot used to be the faculty parking lot. This changed back when Mr. Mallicoat was principal around the year of 2013 and the construction of the new auditorium. This created changes in the parking lot and that’s when it became a student parking lot rather than a faculty parking lot. Back in the day when students had the opportunity for assigned parking, students signed up for a parking spot in Joyce Saacke or Mary Winter’s office. Students needed to bring a copy of their current insurance card, provide their license plate numbers, and their drivers license. Once they presented the information to Mrs. Winter or Mrs. Saacke, they received a specific number for their parking spot. Grade level also determined what parking spot students received. The entire process took three days to complete. On the first day of sign up, the seniors had first choice on the parking spots. Then the juniors, sophomores and finally freshmen in the following days. Getting the closest spot became almost competitive and there had even been students camped out in the parking lot overnight waiting for Mrs. Winter’s arrival at the school in the morning. Emily Hanson remarks, “I like the assigned parking because then I can find the person who is responsible for running into my car if that would ever happen.” Also, Senior Blake Brainard added, “closer spots for the upperclass grades should be a privilege in case of a rain storm so we don’t have to run as far as freshmen do to get into
Laycee Roys
the school.” Seniors had been looking forward to this privilege to have their own close parking spots this year and are most effected by the new parking rule implemented. The current seniors enjoyed the assigned parking for the past three years, but are the other grades taking it as hard as the seniors? The freshmen this year are born into this new parking rule, so they haven’t experienced the old assigned parking. Kaleb Tilson, freshman at MFL Mar Mac and says, “I really like the parking spots.” When asked if any upperclass men are bullying him about parking close to the school he replied, “I haven’t been bullied or made fun of for the spot I park in everyday.” The first come first serve policy is here to stay and the students are following it really well. In addition, Mr. Meyer states, “I haven’t had anyone come up to me about the parking. If you want a good spot, come early to school.” Mr. Meyer hasn’t seen or heard of backlashes with the parking from any of the students. Also adding to his statements, he mentions that there is a lot of responsibility in parking and students need to respect the space they are given. High School secretary Mary Winter drives and parks in the student parking lot everyday. In the past, she picked out her own spot but once the assigned parking went away she had to park in a new spot everyday. The students saw that her spot was taken everyday so the students left the spot open if they arrived before her. Mrs. Winter stated, “I respect the students who leave the spot open and appreciate the spot too, but if it is taken by a student or staff member I am not offended by it.” She also adds, “I can walk to the school just fine and I love to walk all the time.” She had considered parking in the staff parking lot, but she just parks in the students lot for more convenience since it is closer to her office. Mrs. McGeough, Drop Out Prevention Coordinator, also chooses to park in

The ICN makes it possible for people who live in Iowa and are physically separated by the locations, to interact in an efficient and cost-effective manner. ICN classes used to be very popular back in the day before we had computers and online classes through our computers. A little history
Ever since 1635 when the first public school system was started, discipline has changed from being in the one room school house and having the teacher sitting you in the corner with the dunce hat on or a slap on the wrist with a ruler when one was misbehaving. But in today’s world it is a lot different. Teachers today are not allowed to discipline students like that, but many teachers feel like that would still be beneficial today. Over the Summer the MFL MarMac education staff was hard at work learning about a new style of discipline, it is called responsibility centered discipline also known as RCD. The teachers learned that they are no longer to yell at the student but rather, when the student is in trouble the teacher needs to kindly speak to the student and discuss with them what they were doing wrong and how the student can work to change their behavior. Here’s a look into what Responsibility Centered Discipline is all about. Responsibility Centered Discipline is based on five core concepts for growing responsible students. RCD has been successful in all styles of schools and also in a wide age range of students across North America. In those schools with which RCD has been implemented school discipline personnel have seen a significant decrease in office referrals, detentions and suspensions. They want teachers to build a strong and positive relationship between the students and teachers. RCD’s main goal is to instill responsibility in young adults. Studies based on RCD by Jefferey Cornelius-White, found that “Most students who do not wish to come to school or dislike school do so primarily because they dislike their teacher” following that “with out the foundation of a good relationship, students most commonly resist rules and procedures along with the consequent disciplinary actions. (Marzano, 2003)” Here is an example of the 4 keys to intervene which teachers are supposed to follow when confronting a troubled student. 1. Use the students name- make a connection by using their name 2. Protect student’s bubble- have to resolve safety first 3. Be in a listening position- body language is key 4. Be aware of voice- embarrassment is like fear for the brain
This style of discipline is to work with all types of students for example, apathetic studentsunmotivated students, attention seekers- gossipers/ class clowns, hostile students- aggressive students, and manipulators- game players are among some of the styles of students. The teacher has to assess the student and try to find out the best way to approach them and what strategy will work best for that individual student. The Guided conversation checklist better known as “Give ‘em Five” is what teachers need to base their confrontation with the student on and to keep in mind when confronting students to keep calm. 1. Support- pat on back words 2. Expectation- class room 3. Breakdown- tell student what they did wrong 4. Benefit- to be trustworthy 5. Closure- give thanks for listening and understanding The sole purpose of responsibility centered discipline is to help students own up to and take responsibility for their own behaviors. This style of discipline will help shape student for their futures. In the October school board meeting, responsibility centered discipline was one of the topics discussed by each principal and, Denise Mueller, Principal in the McGregor center states that, “Disciplinary referrals have decreased compared to years past
where we haven’t used this style of discipline.” This is the type of feedback that the school needs. This will hopefully help control the amount of discipline throughout the schools. The magical question is, will this style of discipline work at MFL MarMac? Mrs. Killian express her feelings about this new program. “I think it is a very good system, I think sits a mind shift for teachers to talk to students in a different way, not saying its a bad way its just different, so it takes some practice to know the kind of things that you should say, although its not scripted its not something when you need to address a disciplinary issue with a student its not just like you are reading off of a script to that student, it’s different with every situation, but that makes it kind of difficult because all the situations are different.” “I’ve seen some success with this already and I guess what we are finding out as teachers is that it is taking longer to work with a certain population of students. What we are trying to do is change a mindset of high school students. To change that overnight is an unrealistic expectation, so it is taking a little bit longer for some students to take responsibility and be accountable for their actions.” “It can be frustrating at first to try to implement this, easier sometime than others, depending on the student and the situation, but I do think in the long run it will help students to be more accountable for their actions and consistency among all the teachers is very important also.” In the past, teachers would confront a student that was misbehaving in the middle of class, and many teachers feel that they were wasting valuable class time to talk to the student. The hard part is that some students want the attention, now they feel that they can confront the student kindly after class and get the student to not only listen better, but take responsibility for their actions. Teachers practice mock situations during their meetings on Wednesday’s to keep in mind what to do. Mr. Meyer came up with “The Bulldog Way” Be Safe, Be Prepared, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible, which is based on the expectations for schools, just like it mentioned in the RCD handbook. If you would like more information on this topic you can visit- http://www.givemfive.com/ index.html
the class is done, students can work on their assignment for that class. Junior Shae Routt, a current student who is taking the CNA class, says, “It’s easy to understand and if I have a question I like that I can have my question answered right away. The thing I don’t like is that it’s not all hands on until labs and clinical. Lastly, it does get boring after a while.” In order to qualify for enrolling into these classes, he/she should be a junior. The next step to enrolling into a college class he/she needs to see their school counselor and a form from NICC needs to be filled out. Students need to select which class they would like to enroll in and have their parent sign the form, as well as the student and high school counselor. Along with signing up for these classes there is no fees for enrolling; although, there is a fee for failing the
class or if he/she decides the drop out of the class after the deadline for dropping out. MFL MarMac does not require a special ICN room for all college classes provided for the students. ICN classes and online classes are different. The ICN classes are in a room with a TV and once class starts the teacher comes on through the screen and teaches just like if a student was in a class room in school, you need a answer to something you just click on the speaker and ask. As for online classes, it’s all on the students lab top and if the student needs to ask something, he/she will have to email the teacher and wait for an answer. From a student’s perspective, I have completed ICN classes and three online classes. I love that they give us an opportunity for a head start to college and the feeling of how college
will be like. In my opinion, I think as he/she starts their junior year in high school, they should take at least one online class to see if they feel it’s for them. It also is a great way to save money for college. It really has shown me how different college classes and high school classes are different and how they grade in a drastic way. It honestly prepares students for how much focus is needed in college and how important it is to get work done in a timely manner. With the online classes I have taken, if you do not submit your assignment before the deadline the teacher will not allow you to hand it in any later. High School teachers typically allow extra time as needed to hand in late work. Online and ICN classes are a great way to get a head start on earning college credits while still in high school.

for you about ICN classes is that in the late-1980’s, the Iowa Legislature passed a bill. The bill was called for the construction of a shared statewide media network. This bill was signed into law by Governor Branstad. By 1994 came 104 fiber endpoints were in place and a state agency (ICN) was created to manage the vast network. Not many students here at MFL MarMac know about about these classes, but they are a great opportunity for students to take while in school and great way to save some money for college. All college credit classes are through Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC). At this moment, we only have one actual class in the ICN room and it is called Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Many other online classes are delivered online the students laptops are utilized to access these classes. Students generally report to the learning commons to complete assignments in these classes. Leslie Henkes, school librarian assistant, is in charge of scholarship information for students, and National Honor Society. There are three teachers here at MFL MarMac that teach classes

the student parking lot. Her office is nearby and she reports that she is not offended by the first come first serve parking. On the other hand, a few neighboring schools don’t have the same space for their students to park. One example is the Clayton Ridge School District. They don’t even have a parking lot for their students. Only the staff has a special parking lot connected to the school and the students are given a little parking lot across the street from the school that holds 10 parking spots. Those spots are first come first serve parking for students. Also, the students can’t even park in front of the school. Those parking spots are for visitors only. In addition, their football field is practically across town and students can’t even drive to practice from the school to the field for practices. Another school dealing with the same problem is Kee High. Superintendent, Dr. Crozier states that there are no special parking spots parking at Kee High for the students. Most of the students park blocks away from the school. This seems like a problem, but here at MFL MarMac the students have spots to park close to the school. In other school districts around the area it seems like the schools don’t have enough space for the students to park. In the end, here at MFL Mar Mac we have great parking spots. Both Freshmen and Seniors voiced their opinions on the parking spot controversy. Some of them say it’s fair and some say it’s not; but overall the students are following the parking policy. Seniors are accepting the parking policy and are dealing with other changes in the school. The parking spots at the school wasn’t a big deal after all when talking to students and faculty.

that are dual credits, which mean they are high school and college credits. Mr.Thompson, Mr.Martin, Dr. Crozier and Mrs. Butikofer. Their classes occur in the teacher’s classrooms, not the ICN room. Mr Thompson teaches English college class such as, College Composition 1 and 2. He also teaches advanced writing and advanced literature, world literature, and introduction to literature, which are regular education classes. Mr. Martin teaches more agriculture college classes as well as regular education classes. Dr.Crozier teaches philosophy class. Lastly, Mrs. Butikofer teaches family and consumer science classes. She teaches also teachesChild Development and a new class called Pre-Employment Strategies. Currently, MFL MarMac only uses the ICN room for one class. That class is called Certified Nursing Assistant. The class is everyday at 12:10 and gets over at 12:50. At the beginning of the class, students listen as a teacher from the community college gives lectures and talks. While the teacher is talking, the students should be listening and following along.
