Halloween at MFL MarMac High School Olivia Blietz, age 3, smiles after throwing a football through a tire, Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016. Olivia was one of the many children that attended the Halloween event in the MFL MarMac High School gym. Children from preschool to fifth grade were dressed as their favorite characters from movies and TV shows. There were at least 15 different activities including ring toss, bowling and a raffle. This event was sponsored by the Women’s Club.

Crozier, shared Superintendent for MFL MarMac and Eastern Allamakee receives statewide recognition Dale Crozier, shared superintendent of the MFL MarMac and Eastern Allamakee Community School Districts, was a nominee for the 2016-17 Iowa Superintendent of the Year award sponsored by the School Administrators of Iowa. “SAI is pleased to recognize leaders who are dedicated to promoting student achievement and committed to education,” said Roark Horn, the association’s executive director. Both districts have recently implemented successful teacher leadership and personalized professional development programs that empower the teaching staff. The districts have also worked to maintain and improve facilities. Crozier credits positive local school boards in both districts, plus building-level leadership in order to achieve these tasks. He indicates that both districts, although faced with declining enrollment, are doing their best at all times to put

children first in all decisions. Crozier has a bachelor’s degree in political science/philosophy and master’s degree in history from Northwest Missouri State. He has an educational specialist degree from the University of Wyoming, and a doctorate in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern. Nominated for the award by his peers, Crozier will be recognized at SAI’s awards reception August 2, 2017, along with Benton Superintendent Gary Zittergruen who was recently selected as the recipient. Crozier worked with Zittergruen in the ’90s on many issues in the area education agency 10 region, where both were superintendents. He noted that SAI made an outstanding choice in Zittergruen. SAI, a statewide organization founded in 1987, represents more than 1,800 Iowa educational administrators. SAI's mission is to support, encourage and develop Iowa’s educational leaders and learners.

On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, 15 new members were added to MFL MarMac’s National Honor Society in a ceremony at the high school auditorium. They were welcomed in by current members: Kayla Keehner, Emily Hanson, Kylie Moose, Nick Larson, Allison Corlett, Carl Davis, Kelsi Davis, Chase Stubbs, Advisor Leslie Henkes and Principal Larry Meyer. New members are pictured above, front row, left to right: Emma Ammons, Reagan Butikofer, Ali Crogan, Amber Hickman, Keagan Moose, Mikayla Roys and Josie Kleinow; back row: Coltin Ball, Jerica Meana, Hanna Dickman, Hope McGlaughlin, Sierra Wiebensohn, Skylar Moser, Lauren Gillitzer and Macie Weigand.

of the new walkway which the boathouses are now tied to instead of the shoreline. Commissioner Corpian stated the dock commission had met, revised the first draft that was prepared by Attorney Schuster and approved recommendation for approval by the council. There was further discussion regarding the parking ordinance and whether any revisions are necessary to address truck and trailer parking on the street. Chief Bogdonovich will get a copy of the Marquette ordinance which he feels contains more enforceable language. The council reviewed recommended permit fees related to construction and authorized the city attorney to prepare the necessary documents for the ordinance revision so that it can be considered for approval at the November meeting. Health insurance renewal quotes were reviewed. The current Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield policy shows an 8% increase. An alternate plan, Enhanced Blue $1,250 Gold would provide the same coverage except a higher $1,250 deductible and would be a 3% decrease over the current policy. After discussion, the council voted to approve the Enhanced Blue $1,250 Wellmark plan. The status of nuisance violations was discussed. Work has been completed on the Bunge lot. Council will need to visit to determine if the work completed is satisfactory. Margie Burr has been contacted on multiple occasions with little effort being made. The council asked that the attorney continue to contact her and provide them with a status report. There was no response from Knapp Trailer Park. A proposed plan of work was received from Dan Gingerich. Scrap is to be hauled the week of the 17th and two sheds roofed and sided and other repairs completed during November. A draft letter prepared by the attorney for C-2 property owners was reviewed by the council. The council felt the content was adequate and asked it

meeting, the McGregor City Council was provided a quarterly compliance report from the Chamber of Commerce. Carolyn Gallagher, Executive Director, has tendered her resignation due to relocation for her husband’s employment. Chamber President, Anne Kruse, sent a copy of the job description for the mayor and council to review and provide any comments or suggestions. The current job description is being updated for distribution to applicants for the position. A copy of the resolution with language about how hotel motel tax funds are to be spent was also provided. The council was informed that the concrete has been replaced on the Walton storm sewer inlet, colored concrete areas have been sealed, an estimate is forthcoming on repairs to the pedestrian bridge needed after erosion from a recent storm. Estimates are being gathered for logging the Slaughter dam, a list of unused items is being put together to offer for public bids, several areas of sidewalk will be lifted this week, repair or replacement quotes will be sought for the small dump truck, city will discuss a corner marker that was said to have been removed during the joint county/city ditch clearing near Adam Meana. Steve Funk was present to request the use permit for the smoking enclosure and trash receptacle be modified to allow use of the front door. Halvorson asked that if the modification is allowed that he closely monitor the cleanliness of the sidewalk in front of his building as smokers tend to throw cigarette butts into the street and on the sidewalk. The council asked the City Attorney to revise the resolution and permit to remove the restriction that the front door not be used. Council members approved proposed revisions to the boathouse permit that the Dock Commission members had recommended for approval. The revisions were

to prepare letters for the mayor to sign and send to all properties. The city clerk added that HPC felt it would also be a good idea to include the zoning ordinance for C-2, sign ordinance and permits. Council members considered a quote for foam insulation of the main city shop. Two inch and three inch thickness was provided and fire retardant paint. The cost will be shared by city/mmu/and the county. The council voted to approve the city’s 40% share up to $4,752 towards the project and to approve the quote from Mississippi Valley Pump to rebuild a sewer pump in the amount of $5,755. An annual service contract proposal and a cost estimate for some additional work that would make the lift station operate more efficiently is also being prepared. Further discussion took place regarding a city deer hunt. Pikes Peak Park is not ready to commit to re-opening the managed hunt at this time. The council is aware of the deer problem within the city from both seeing the deer and receiving comments from residents regarding the damages that the deer are causing. Mayor Brooks encouraged people to contact Pikes Peak with their concerns because until the state ground in and adjacent to the city limits is opened up to hunting the city hunt most likely will not be successful. Most yards are too small to be able to meet the minimum distance from a building requirement and deer would have protection from being hunted once on the state ground. Winter parking regulations will resume on November 1 and run through March 31. Street crews will remove the “enjoy McGregor” hoods from the alternate parking signs. MMU is working on a grant for Christmas decorations. The total grant is for a project up to $2,400. MMU has quotes for replacement bulbs for the wreaths and pole garland which would leave about $1,606 to spend with a 50% match required. Council members voted to approve a cost share of up to $803 to purchase new bows for the pole decorations and perhaps a Christmas tree for the park. Halvorson moved, seconded by Hallberg to go into closed session pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.5(c) to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation where disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of the governmental body in litigation. The council entered closed session at 8:39 p.m. During the closed session, Attorney Natalie Burris, representing the city noted that Trilogy once again asked if the city is interested in purchasing the former Holiday Shores property for the amount of $1,050,000 as it had been offered following the rezoning decision. The council re-entered open session at 9:02 p.m. Council members then voted to decline Trilogy’s offer. It then voted to appoint Mayor Brooks to represent the city council and Lynette Sander to represent the Planning and Zoning Commission throughout the duration of trial Clayton County Case # CVCV010162.

Oh deer alternative by fritz

MAPC Opinion Columnist Many years ago our garden was being whipped by the wind and so we decided to plant a row of bushes to protect it. Later, we built a small feedlot south of there. A row of trees next to the bushes made sense to keep snow out of the feedlot and the cattle comfortable. We have been buying seedlings from the soil office fundraiser for as long as I can remember. Those people do a great job promoting soil conservation. It must be frustrating for them. The tradition of farmer as master over the land usually trumps the idea of working with nature instead of destroying it for short term gain. It is too bad that the people at the soil office are having their work destroyed by a related government agency. Yesterday I discovered several trees had been shredded by deer. We had watered, weeded, and mulched those trees for years and they had finally taken off. Now they are torn to shreds. I’ve come up with a few simple measures that could not only save lives and money, but also aid the hungry. Many taxpayer dollars could be

saved if the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) were restricted from jurisdiction over private property. When deer are on our property they should be subject to our rule not the rule of the state. Did you know it is illegal to sell harvested deer meat? Restaurants in the United States that serve venison, import it from New Zealand. Dumb. Then there are all the hungry people who get food stamps to buy groceries. I remember back in my days in the mountains of western Montana, going to apply for food stamps. Even before the Spotted Owl scam, jobs were pretty scarce at times in timber country. I looked at all that paper work and walked out. I lived with a couple guys who could shoot straight and I could help carry, so we survived on a diet that lacked the diversity of a grocery store. It is incredible to me that an animal that costs $4 billion and 200 lives a year in vehicle crashes is managed to provide sport for a tiny minority. That we need a license from the state to shoot a deer should be shocking to people in a free country. We’ve spent $4 trillion on a war on terror that hasn’t impacted as many Americans as the deer. In fact, much of that $4 trillion acted

Steve Doeppke for Clayton County Supervisor

Are you as frustrated or disillusioned or just plain TIRED of hearing the major political parties’ slams, insults, and accusations? Are you aware that in some races, there is another choice? For instance, in the Clayton County Supervisor race, Steve Doeppke is the other choice. By not running on a major party platform, he is beholden to no person or party, and was willing to run entirely on his own merits, which I believe are many. You have (or can) read his ‘candidate’s resume ‘ in the Clayton County Register and Guttenberg Press, published on October 12 and see for yourself that he qualiﬁes for the job. I’ve heard it said that he’s too quiet for the position. But you don’t need to be a ‘talker’ in order to study the problems and determine the best solutions. Lest you think I am blasting ALL Republicans and Democrats, no, I do not like painting all candidates with the same brush and fortunately, I have not heard or read of our LOCAL (county) candidates resorting to that low level. I hope that’s because it hasn’t happened! I believe that speaks volumes for Clayton County. Now, do your own research and check the FACTS and then vote your conscience on November 8th, (or before, if necessary).

as a recruitment tool or incitement, not as a deterrent. Without the incentive of our air bases in Saudi Arabia, 9/11 very well could have never happened. And our reaction to it was the most costly part. I’m not trying to discount the threat of jihad, I’m only offering perspective on another problem caused by excessive government power. I couldn’t find a solid number on the cost of deer damage to crops and residential plantings, but even without those added, one motorcyclist hitting a deer on the interstate should be enough that our government should not only stay completely out of the deer management business, but should encourage any hungry person to seek one for their freezer at any time. It would be fine with me if the DNR stuck to enforcing trespass laws. That would take care of all the environmental issues they are presently responsible for. Individual people should be accountable, not an easily manipulated bureaucracy.

Halloween and childhood freedom Nolan POrter

Outlook editor At the time of writing this, Halloween is still a few days away. I often think back to when I was young enough to dress up as a Stormtrooper or as Batman. I used to run around my neighborhood and see other kids of varying size and costume. I would then get taken to my Dad’s friend’s houses where I would get extra candy and my dad would kind of watch me as he talked to his buddies. I always enjoyed coming home and taking stock of a hard nights work. I would pour my bags of candy on the floor and huddle over it like a pirate would of his booty. When I got too old to keep dressing up, I always stayed home and watch some spooky movies while Mom and Dad manned the door with a cauldron of candy at the ready. As the 90’s faded away from memory and a new generation of kids started trick or treating, we noticed there were fewer and fewer kids coming to our door. I started to see a huge increase of trunk or treat and church held events. There were a few when I was a kid, but they were boring to me. I had to stand in line and just get handed candy. There was no fun or adventure in that. I wanted to show off my costume and see new places. There was no thrill in the hunt, as it were. That was a much different era or it seemed like it was. We had a lot more freedom as kids. We had to stay close and my parents kept an eye on me, but not so much as to micromanage me. The 1990’s, for me, were full of adventure and fun times that make great stories. The 90’s was the last decade of letting your kids run wild at night and not

OPINION

See full itineraries at www.legacytour travel.com

worry about them getting kidnapped. I seem to remember after 9/11 that people were scared, for obvious reasons. I remember my father coming home and hugging me hard, crying. We were in the middle of small town, America but he was scared, we all were. Besides the attack, I remember seeing a lot of high profile kidnappings making it on the nightly news. I never heard anything about it before then, maybe I never paid attention. My parents never worried too much. They knew I was smart and was careful enough on my own. However a new trend started with parenting. A term started to get thrown around more and more; helicopter parents. The concept is that parents “hover”, like a helicopter, over their kids and make sure that they controlled as much as possible. The idea is sound, in some aspects. If a parent is always around, nothing bad can happen and you can see how your child is doing with their social life. With the slew of terrorist attacks and kidnapping, what parent wouldn’t want to make sure their child is protected at all times? There has been some fallout from this new style of parenting. The big issue is children cannot learn from their own life lessons. If Mom or Dad are around to watch every move, it is a huge confidence killer and it is hard to learn from mistakes. I have learned a lot of things after just one life lesson. I was young and not thinking so I got hurt, but I learned. It made me grow as a person and to this day I still use those lessons learned to be careful. I learned through my experiences that life was not easy and full of dangers. I also learned to take a few chances. Nothing stupid, like dodging traffic, but I found it much easier to get a little hurt than to say “it looked a bit scary to try.” That is how millions of people and I learned things as kids. No matter what the outcome of an adventure, I learned something new. I am not saying to let kids run wide open, with no restrictions. My parents still knew where I was and when I wasn’t where I supposed to be, I got in big trouble. It is hard to know when to allow something and when to say “no.” I felt like I had the right amount of freedom and restriction. I am not going to go over the pros and cons of trying to watch over children too closely. I am not a child psychologist, but there are things that I notice as I get older. I know times change, sometimes for the better and sometimes not. Dad would tell me how different things where when he was the same age that I was. I feel like children are not allowed to have fun without someone worrying too much. Of course the question comes down to “is that such a bad thing?” Psychologists say “yes” but some parents say “no.” This is not something that anyone will be able to study or record easily. If I dare to throw my two cents in it would be this: kids will be kids. Let them run around the neighborhood and cause a little mischief. If they get in trouble, then that should be the lesson. Let them take risk and test the limits of their own ability. My generation seemed to be the last generation that was brave and played outside. Before video games, I had to play outside and create my own fun. Now, kids stay inside and just play video games. And I know all of this because I was a kid not that long ago. Every child and parent is different, which is a very basic statement to make, but it’s true. Everyone learns and teaches differently. A child may notice how a helicopter parent worries all the time and that in turn makes the child nervous about things they don’t need to worry about. There is no right or wrong way to raise a child. I was raised fine, in my opinion, and it made me who I am today. I just see the changes and wonder how the next generation of children will be. Will they be as daring children before them or will that urge to be brave be squelched by hovering parents? Only time will tell.

Ken-A-Vision Microscope

Nolan Porter

outlook editor Modern medicine progresses in leaps and bounds due to the change of technology. One of the inventions that progressed medicine was the optical microscope. The concept of the microscope had been around for thousands of years. It was observed very early on in human history that water could be used to see things in a different way. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the Romans invented glass that optics could be used in a practical way. Until 100 A.D., the only materials that could refract light were quartz and crystal. Those minerals had to be polished to a high sheen and they were not easy to find. Romans would fill glass containers with water to have a magnification effect. However, modern lenses, meaning glass in a concave shape, were not invented until the 1200s when glasses were invited. Although lenses that increased vision were becoming more common, it took almost 300 years for inventors to play with the idea of a microscope. In 1590, Dutch inventor Hans Jansen and his son Zacharias created the first compound microscope. The microscope was created around the idea of putting two different lenses to magnify the subject. The first lens takes in light and the image, the second lens magnifies the image even more. This first microscope was very crude and not powerful. It produced a blurry image, being as there was no way to focus and align the lenses. It was more of

Fish crankbaits along exposed riprap on main channel borders. Sauger - Fair: Lock gates are still out of the water this week making it difficult to fish below the dam. A few sauger are being picked up on main channel borders.Â The Upper Mississippi River levels remain high and are expected to bump up this week with recent rains. Water temperatures have fallen into the mid 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.

a toy and had no real applications. It took Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, another Dutch inventor, to fine tune the Jansen invention for practical use. Van Leeuwenhoek was able to create a smaller, more powerful lens that was able to see small things up close and clear while using less time and effort. He is considered to be the first microbiologist. Although van Leeuwenhoek created a device that changed the science world, he was more of a businessman. He refused to describe how he was able to create such small, powerful lenses with ease. When he showed off his work, he let people believe that he worked very hard, day and night, to fine tune his tiny lenses. He even took

his secret to the grave and it took another 150 years to figure out how van Leeuwenhoek created his lenses. Once van Leeuwenhoekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design was rediscovered, microscopes became much higher quality and had greater magnification. Soon the microdiscovery race was on again. Humans could see very small things with great detail and instruments were becoming more powerful. Companies began to spring up and start producing microscopes on a larger scale, for less cost. Also, microscope technology was changing and new types, such as the electron microscope, meant an even closer view of things previously unseen. One company, Ken-A-Vision started to produce microscopes for school use only in 1951, like the model pictured here. These gave students access to tool only previously thought possible to scientist and laboratories. Modern microscopes are much more complex and vary based on design. Now they can be attached to computers and use more than just light to examine objects. The most powerful microscope cost $27 million and can see the very atoms that make up matter. Modern microscopes can be bought for cheap and are seen as toys for children, which shown how far the technology has come since the first, rough microscope. It is often overlooked how important the technology is, being has scientist can view tiny organisms and improve medicine based off of their finds. Microscopes may not be a house hold item, but the impact has helped millions of people.

Dollars for Scholars Donation MFL MarMac Dollars for Scholars received a donation from Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation. Given to them was $2,300 in April for the 2015 Dollars For Scholars and $3,000 now for the 2016 Dollars For Scholars. Mayor Fran Passmore is pictured above accepting the award from Treasurer Harold Brooks of UMGC.

The MFL MarMac volleyball team advanced to the next round of an end-of-season tournament after beating Postville. Their next challenge was against South Winneshiek at Calmar on Monday, October 24. The Bulldogs were coming off of a strong win against Postville and were looking to continue the postseason against the Warriors of South Winn. The first set saw the Bulldogs struggling to create any offense. The defense was unable to stop the strong attack from South Winn. The first set ended 25-16, South Winn. The next set saw the offense wake up and score a little more. Although the numbers were higher, the Bulldogs were unable to win out. The score for the second set ended 25-19, South Winn. The final set saw another strong

attack from South Winn. The Bulldogs tried to rally back but were unable to stop the Warriors. The final set ended 25-17, South Winn with the final score being 3-0. The Bulldogs had a hard time on the attack and on the defense. The offense was only able to produce six total kills. The attack attempts were better with 66, but there were also 12 kill errors. Senior Amber Adney had only one kill but 21 attempts with one ace. Senior Nicole Heins had two kills and 11 attempts with one ace. The defense was equally underwhelming. The team was able to combine 13 digs and 10 total blocks. Although the season has ended for the Bulldogs, two of the players, Adney and Heins, have been honored with an Honorable Mention All-Conference. The varsity team ended the season with a 6-19 record. There are seven seniors on the team.
