MarMac High School Auditorium to pay tribute to the men and women who have served in the military. This year, 13 vets who served during the Korean War were honored and given quilts. The ceremony started off with an introduction given by MFL student Allison Corlett. Members

of American Veterans Post 27 then proceeded to post the colors, which meant presenting the American flag on the stage for all to see. The MFL MarMac Anthem Singers preformed the national anthem then Corlett gave the history behind Veterans Day.

“ I would feel terrible if I knew I could have tried something and didn’t,” explains Thea Rentschler of St. Olaf. “I don’t want to not try something just because I couldn’t afford it.” Rentschler is referring to the controversial and costly decision to use cannabis oil to alleviate her nine-year-old son Peyton’s seizures. Peyton was recently approved for a “registry card” for the oil, a form of medical marijuana. Although the treatment is not FDA-approved, many patients have seen a dramatic drop in the frequency of seizures; some have become completely seizure-free. Laws in the regulation of cannabis oil, however, vary from state to state and Iowa’s laws complicate the issue. Thea explains, “You can have up to so many ounces [of cannabis oil] in your possession if you have a card such as Peyton’s. The problem is you can’t bring the oil across state lines and it can’t be manufactured in Iowa.” She shakes her head at what she calls a crazy law, and continues, “So our doctor basically said ‘if it falls out of the sky, you can grab it.’” A loophole in the system, however, may provide an alternative. “If the cannabis oil is labeled hemp oil, it is considered a supplement and can be shipped to us.” The Rentschlers have found what they believe to be a reputable supplier of the hemp oil. “It isn’t FDA approved, so there is no insurance coverage,” says Thea. “It’s not the first time Peyton’s been on nonFDA approved drugs.” The cost,

however, will likely reach over $700 a month to reach a therapeutic level for his seizures. “That’s basically another house payment,” she adds. Nonetheless, Thea is hopeful this treatment can help her son. Peyton, whose family nickname is Buck, is the youngest of three siblings. Thea’s husband, Brian, is a lead in the plant at Pattison Sand Mines. Thea has been a professional photographer for nine years and owns Milestone Portraits. The couple married young, soon after Thea’s graduation from MFL MarMac in 1998. Brian is a graduate of Central High School in Elkader. Their life hasn’t been easy. Their first daughter, Allison, was born with cerebral palsy. “She is healthy, not sick, but just has brain issues,” explains Thea. “She can hold her own cup, eat finger foods, and uses

a walker.” Ally, now 18, attends Decorah High School in a special needs classroom. Thea smiles as she describes her daughter: “She’s the happiest, most laid-back kid ever. She just needs help with everyday living needs. I think she comprehends more than people think she knows.” Their second child, Haley, is a freshman at Central. Being the middle child in a family with two special needs children has been challenging, but Thea knows Haley is wise beyond her years because of the experience. “She understands, in this family, it’s a team effort.” When asked if she has extra duties at home compared to her friends, Haley nonchalantly responds, “Yeah, sometimes.” Thea adds, “Like mom making you take CPR and first aid courses?”

Murphy-Helwig Library holds annual book fair Nolan Porter

Stella “Sis” Huinker has been known as Sis for a very long time and for good a reason. She was the second oldest of ten and the nickname has just stuck over the years. Even though she can’t get around like she used to, she still has the same elder sister mentality. “I try to do everything I can by myself,” Stella said. “I don’t want somebody waiting on me.” Stella was born in Waukon in 1923 in her house. She was born in town where her father built some of the homes that still stand today. She loved to go around and see all the houses that he built. Stella attended the St. Patrick Catholic School until the ninth grade, when she then had to attend public school. She worked at a few farms when she was very young while she lived in Waukon. On Dec. 26, 1944, at the age of 21, Stella married Irvin Huinker in

Kansas City just three days after her birthday. Irvin soon had to leave to serve in the Air Force during World War II, so Stella had to wait until he came back. Her first job after marriage was a phone operator at the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company in Waukon. Once Irvin arrived back in the states, Stella and him decided to start a family. Stella moved to Monona with her husband and settled down. She had four children; two boys and two girls. Stella was a housewife, being as her new fulltime job was to raise her family. Irvin was one of the owners of the Huinker Chevrolet garage in Monona and worked their everyday. During the summers, Stella and her family used to own a cabin on the river and enjoyed fishing. At one point, they bought a pontoon and used it for lunches and fishing on the Mississippi River. Stella lamented that she has not been fishing in a long time.

Stella Huinker As her children got older and moved out of the house, Stella started to turn her love for gardening into a job. She took a job at the greenhouse in Monona for a few years. In August of 2015, Stella moved into Garden View. Her husband died a few years ago. Stella is the proud of her 17 grandkids and 39 great-grandkids. She had a “wonderful husband” and has “wonderful kids.” Stella is blessed with her life and will celebrate he birthday in December.

Monona City Council receives update on sewage project

Outlook Editor Rows upon rows of books of all shapes and sizes were available for sale at the Monona Community Center on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016. The Helwig Library held the annual book fair as it has done for the past 19 years. All the books were for sale, but the cost was up to the buyer. A person could pick up as many books as he or she wants and all the library asked for a simple donation. The donation can be as small as 50 cents if desired. The library hosts the book fair each year on the same day. This year was an election year, which means much larger donations. The books were set up right next to the line to vote. Many people voted and then visited the

bookstore. There were 12 tables showcasing thousands of books to choose from. In a recent election year, there was about $1300 donated. This year the total donated was $910.

As of this year, the library has raised about $16,600. These fairs help with more money to the library and fewer books that the library has to keep in storage.

Customer Appreciation BREAKFAST

Saturday, November 19, 2016 Serving from

7-11 AM

The Monona City Council was given an update on phase II of the sewer improvement project on Monday, Nov. 7, 2016. The council learned that there were delays with the lining crew due to some miscommunication with the residents. When a crew works on an area, the residents in the affected area are not to flush toilets or run water, since that disrupts the crews cleaning process. Residents were not properly informed and that caused some delays to the already overdue project. The crews have been instructed to go door to door to make sure that everyone in the affected area is well informed about the work being done. At the time of the meeting, 17,900 feet of the sewers have been lined. There is an additional 4000 to 5000 feet that still need to be lined before the next step can continue. The next step is for the 420 lateral units to be grouted. The crews can grout 10 units a day. If there would be 24-hour workdays, it would take 14 days and it would

City of Monona

The city of Monona would like to remind residents that from November 15th until April 1st it is unlawful for any person to park any vehicle on any street or alley between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. of any day.

come close to being done by December. The grout work will cost $115,000. The council also learned that an electrician had been getting underpaid by $1.45 per hour. When the bid for the contract was put in, an estimate of cost was what was given to the city. However, due to a wage discrepancy, the city will have to pay about $400 in owed salary There is talk that the Overland Group still plans to proceed with building a Dollar General building on the highway. At this time the Overland Group has stated they still show interest in building. The Overland Group stakes out locations, builds a store then allows Dollar General use the building and lot. The location is still being discussed at this time. Jim Moritz approached the council in hopes to resolve any confusion that occurred with the vote for zoning lot 19. Moritz wanted to clear up any misinformation about the rumor of “under table” methods to obtain votes. Moritz was contacted to provide proof about the votes prior to the public hearings. He was advised by the Monona Enterprises lawyer to not attend the meeting and not to release the ballots. Moritz did release the ballots to Mayor Fran Passmore who did see the ballots. The ballots show that voting did take place and the members of the Gordon subdivision agreed to the rezoning at that time. However, it was brought up that the people changed their minds and the argument was brought up that the residents did not fully grasp what they were voting on at that time. Mayor Passmore signed an

agreement that states there was voter approval. The Monona Chamber and Economic Development gave their proposal for the 2017 budget. The chamber is asking $12,000 from the city for the 2017 budget. The usual annual budget is $10,000. The additional $2000 is to be used to bring in a professional marketing team. It was noted that the gross revenue for the year was $38,487 and the total gross expenditure was $38,447. $32,526 of the budget went to salary and payroll taxes. The council asked what other possibilities there was for raising money for the chamber. The chamber mentioned that if a hotel or motel would enter the town that would mean additional income for the chamber. Also there is discussion about raising some money via Hay Days. The council will discuss about the approval of the chamber budget at the next scheduled meeting. There was a finalized update given detailing certain features and aspects of Bulldog Boulevard. The council was informed that there should be no sand used on the new surface, being as it would disrupt the function of the bricks. Snowplows will be able to go over the new surface with no problems. There was a question about putting on a buffer on the front of the plows, but it was noted that it would make plowing more difficult. There was a slight change in cost for the total price at this point in time. There was a reduction of $1758 for material cost but there was an additional $3169 fees. The final offset price is $1403 to be owed to Bacon Concrete.

Buckling Up Could Save Your Giblets This Thanksgiving, law enforcement agencies will ramp up patrols and be on the lookout for seat belt violations. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) during the 2014 Thanksgiving holiday, 341 vehicle occupants were killed nationwide in traffic crashes. Fifty percent of those fatalities were not wearing seat belts. In Iowa, five people were killed over the 2015 holiday. NHTSA reports that wearing a seat belt can reduce the risk of a fatal injury by 45 percent. Ejection from a vehicle is one of the most dangerous incidents that can happen to a person in a

crash. Eighty percent of passenger vehicle occupants totally ejected from vehicles were killed; only one percent of the belted occupants were totally ejected during a crash. Who is more likely to not wear a seat belt? In fatal crashes males are more likely to be unbuckled (53 percent) than females (40 percent) and drivers aged 13-15 and 25-34 accounted for 59 percent of the fatalities in 2014. (NHTSA) Wearing your seat belt is the single most effective way to save your life and the lives of your loved ones in the event of a crash. Failing to buckle up is dangerous and against the law. Remember: Click It or Ticket!

Thank you for the many memorials given in his honor.

We extend special appreciation to Central Community Hospital, to Dr. Donna Lawlor, to Sandy Bishop and Winneshiek Medical Center Hospice and to Grau Funeral Home. Your kindness and caring for all of us will not be forgotten. We would be remiss if we did not express our gratitude to Cal and Betty Foels who took care of our much-loved Sweets during Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitalization. Thanks to those who helped us in many ways and continue to do so.

Rentschler Family from front Being concerned about having months later, Peyton had broken five other special needs children after Allison, the Rentschlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fears were calmed when doctors felt Allyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluke.â&#x20AC;? Having had a healthy Haley, the couple was confident about having a third child. Despite a hearing deficit requiring cochlear implants at 11 months, Peyton appeared to have been born healthy and was developing appropriately. Thea recalls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played with toys, listened to music, and loved Elmo and Sesame Street.â&#x20AC;? One day, while sitting up and rolling a ball back and forth, Peytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head suddenly went down and his eyes rolled back in his head. Alarmed, Thea and Brian had him examined and he was diagnosed with infantile spasms. Over the following months, the issues worsened as the couple noticed Peyton was losing the skills he once had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do what he used to do,â&#x20AC;? relates Thea. Peyton was put on seizure medication. The medication initially worked and Peyton regained some of his skills. The improvement was shortlived, however, when the medicine eventually stopped working altogether. Peyton was eventually diagnosed with Lennox-Gaustat Syndrome, a graduated form of epilepsy. Despite the news, the Rentschlers were hopeful their son could still be helped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doctors in Milwaukee gave us hope, saying there were many treatments that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been tried,â&#x20AC;? said Thea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they were right. Peyton did improve and, once again, gained back many of his skills.â&#x20AC;? Peyton had been having close to 200 seizures a day and the new medicines brought that number down to around 40, Thea noted. There was a downside to the medicine. At age 3, Peyton suddenly got very sick with a 103Â° fever. He was admitted to the hospital. Doctors informed the Brian and Thea that Peyton needed a g-tube for feedings so that he could get the nutrients he needed. Following the surgery, Peyton was put on formula and gained weight and looked healthier. A year later, however, it was discovered that Peyton had a broken hip. Doctors explained that epilepsy medicine often depletes bone mass. Peyton was then diagnosed with brittle bone disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said his bones were the same as an 80-year-old woman with osteoporosis,â&#x20AC;? says Thea. A few

vertebrae. The cannabis oil, therefore, represents an opportunity to reduce seizures as well as protect against the terrible side effects of the epilepsy medicine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this type of research and development that Thea hopes will change Peytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. The family has been raising money since 2009 for epilepsy research. For the past four years, they have organized the local â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tread the Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraiser, a day-long event featuring a 5K walk/run, food, music, and fun to raise awareness of epilepsy. This past August, the event raised over $8,000 for the cause, all of which was donated to the Iowa Epilepsy Foundation. Ever hopeful about the advancement in the treatment of epilepsy, Thea says she is cautiously optimistic about the potential for cannabis oil to help Peyton and other epilepsy patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brian doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like me to get my hopes up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not let down, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to try it,â&#x20AC;? she adds. When asked to define success in terms of the cannabis oil for Peyton, she states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under ten seizures a day, off the seizure meds, and able to regain some of his skills.â&#x20AC;? Thea explains that doctors have told her of the possibility that Peytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain can relearn if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always plagued by seizures. She adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically the seizures are not allowing his brain to heal each time.â&#x20AC;? This past week, in addition to celebrating their 18th anniversary, the Rentschlers placed their first order for the hemp oil. Thea is determined to do what it takes to provide this opportunity for her child. She has taken on extra work to make money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been let down before,â&#x20AC;? says Thea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the dreamer and Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the realist. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opposites but maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stayed together for so long.â&#x20AC;? A recent Facebook post by Thea read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brian and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in handouts. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to feel sorry for us or give us your money, but we are willing to work to pay for it! If I can help you feel good about yourself, make you feel pretty, or capture your memories, patronizing my business endeavors helps purchase medicine that our little boy needs! Thank you all. And keep our Buck in prayer that the oil is our saving grace!â&#x20AC;?

Election reflections

Brett’s random thoughts from the corner chair Brett Pharo

OPINION COLUMNIST Regardless of who you voted for, we should all be proud of the voter turnout. Both major party candidates received a tremendous number of votes, as did Mr. Johnson of the Libertarian Party. It’s too bad that we don’t get that kind of turnout to vote for candidates rather than against candidates, as I suspect was the case this time. In any case, congratulations are in order for Mr. Trump. Congratulations, and recognition, are also in order for the first female to manage a campaign that won the Presidency. Regardless of who you voted for, you probably recognize that Kellyanne Conway (Trumps campaign manager) did a fantastic job. This is a field that has been totally the domain of men in the past, but Ms. Conway broke through that perceived barrier with class and dominance. Well done! Trump’s win is all the more impressive when you realize what he was up against. He took on the Insiders of the Republican Party, including the powerful Bush political machine, and did so while dealing with a press that was pretty critical of him throughout the primary season. And he won. He then took on the powerful Clinton machine, the Insiders from both major parties, the big money wall streeters, and an openly hostile media in the general election. Rarely, if ever, have the political powers been so stacked against

a candidate. And he won. This seems to have been a peaceful revolution against the ruling class. For many, a Trump win came as a totally shocking surprise. For many others, though, it was not. I’ve never been a big fan of Michael Moore, but he was dead on when he predicted Trump would be the next President back in July and then again in October. The Insiders pooh poohed his prediction, but he was right that Trump would carry the rust belt states and the election, and why. Other analysts, such as Jim Rickards, also were predicting a Trump win. Most of the media seemed to be totally flabbergasted as returns came in and just couldn’t understand how they had been so wrong. A few did get it. I think it was Chuck Todd that was realizing that they had totally overlooked what has become known to the political elite as “fly over country.” This is home to the productive engine of America, the rural agriculture areas and the manufacturing centers, both of which have suffered greatly from the policies of taking from the productive and giving to the unproductive. While Clinton was demonstrating the disdain the Insiders, Democrat and Republican, have for the heart of America by referring to them as “deplorables,” Trump was going to the people, listening to them, and connecting with them. The utter disdain the Insiders have for the Outsiders was abundantly evident throughout Tuesday evenings election coverage. Over and over on many channels many of the talking heads stated their belief that Trump voters, or Republicans, or rural people were all uneducated. Very insulting, and totally without any basis outside of the imaginary world they live in. As I said, a few did not present this view, but so many did. What do they mean by uneducated? I think most farmers I know are college educated. And among those that aren’t, I’m pretty sure they are still quite educated. Probably most of them would be quite capable of sitting in a talking head chair bleating out opinions for a few hours, whereas I’m quite sure none of the talking heads are educated enough to do what these farmers do on a daily basis where a working understanding is needed of biology, chemistry, physics, agronomy, economics, mechanics, etc. I’d like to see some of these “educated” folks try to fix their car engines, or design and construct a bridge,

or treat a patient in an ambulance or ER, or coordinate a response to a fire, or frankly do anything productive. And, yes, I am college educated, graduating summa cum laude and a member of Mensa, so I do take offense at being called uneducated and by implication ignorant, by the elitists. Just look at all those uneducated deplorables out in the street rioting over the results of the election. Oh, wait … that isn’t the uneducated deplorable Trump supporters, but the educated, tolerant, caring Clinton supporters showing great maturity and tolerance for opposing views. They are marching, destroying property, and even beating fellow human beings for the high crime of voting for someone other than Clinton. This is ridiculous. What if’s are always speculative, but I sincerely doubt that if Clinton had won you would see Trump supporters acting this way, if for no other reason than that they would need to be at work to support both their families and their dependent welfare families. But more importantly, though very unhappy with the results, they would have accepted the results. You didn’t see this reaction four or eight years ago from the side that lost the election. Says a lot. Speaking of adult-like reactions, or the lack thereof, I see some college professors felt the need to cancel classes or exams so that the students could have time to grieve or whatever. Good grief, what a bunch of immature babies we’re turning out these days! Today being Veteran’s Day, I’m reminded that 70+ years ago young adults were storming beaches on Normandy, Iwo Jima, Tarawa, and other places, and 50 years ago young adults were going through booby-trapped jungles to face the enemy. Today young adults need “safe places” on campus where their feelings won’t be hurt by someone saying something they find offensive, and they are reduced to being unable to take tests due to an election not coming out the way they want. What will they do when they find out the real world doesn’t coddle to their every need. I suppose that is partly the result of being fed a steady diet of indoctrination of victimhood and intolerance being called tolerance. I was glad to see Obama and Trump are both acting like adults so far in the transition. Good for them.

Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor I, and most of America, were glued to their TVs or computer screens during election day. This year was odd, to say the least. Both candidates were not exactly loved, even by their own parties. Whatever the feelings were, the American people turned out in rather high numbers. 56.9 percent of eligible voters came to vote. And the vote is in, Donald Trump won the Electoral College to become the 45th president of the United States of America. Hillary Clinton did win the popular vote, however, at the end of the day the Electoral vote is the one that really matters. Some people are very happy, some are distraught and some are just confused. The confused people are the people who used to live and die by the polls, like me. Most of the polls taken showed that Clinton would win. She was not predicated to win by a landslide, but she was projected to have a comfortable lead. Early on in the night, as state after state chimed in, it was discovered that the polls were not just off; they were completely wrong. No one can figure out why they were so wrong, and it does make sense why they might have been wrong. This election was run like no other election ever before. Clinton was fighting off email scandals and the Benghazi debacle. Trump was running full bore at anyone he didn’t like and had no filter on social media. The entire lead up to Election day seemed like a circus, except one of the two clowns would soon be running the most powerful and influential nation in the world. Needless to say, all the “experts” got schooled and were left scratching their heads. There has already been what seems like millions of roundtable discussions about how the polls were so wrong leading up. What all have agreed on, yours truly included, is rural America has extreme voting power. In years past, most politicians have overlooked rural America. Even Trump and Clinton were more focused on factory workers and other blue-collar jobs. Rarely did they tap into the 46.2 million Americans who had a huge voting voice. And their voice was heard. Hundreds of counties came

to show their support for Trump. Normally, a state with a large city will carry that state one way or another. But each state that Clinton was to win was extremely close. Trump won many battleground states by a point or two. Even the non-battleground states were very close and at times it looked like anyone could win. However, small town America and its farmers mobilized and voted. One news anchor said that maybe it was time to stop overlooking rural America and they need to start factoring in that vote. Now, I could give my thoughts on the election, but what is the point? What is done is done. The next four years will tell if the American people made the right choice or not. I could break down each candidate and muse about what it might have meant. But I do not want to waste the brainpower to do so. Trump won and is planned to take the oath on Jan. 20. The process worked and that was that. Every American will have to live with the results. It is that simple. My only hope is that we can all come together and hopefully keep America great. This is a trying time for millions of people. The worst thing to do is fight and squabble about the “what if’s.” Now is not the time. The entire world is watching to see what we do next. Not just at Trump, but as the nation as a whole. If we all bicker like children, then we will be treated as such. And just because we claim to have this large influence over other nations, then see what happens when our fighting scares everyone away. No one wants spend time with the family that has constantly fights amongst themselves. We, as a united people, need to be humble winners and gracious losers. I hope that this will quiet down before too long. America is still a young country when compared to the rest of the world. If this result of this election stunts our growth, then maybe other nations will start to back off and create a distance with us. We have come so far in such a short amount of time. A nation, which was started by outcasts and immigrants, has come so far it would be a shame to start backpedaling now. Whether you think America needs to be made great again or if you think that we are stronger together, let’s all agree that we are still America, land of the free and home of the brave.

Polaroid One Step

Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor The era of one-hour photos has all but come to an end. Everyone has a printer or they just go to their local Walgreens or Wal-Mart to get their photos developed. Also, since cell phones are more powerful than most cameras, it is easier to just pull out a phone and show everyone the photos. Before the advent of cell phones, digital phones and even the Polaroid, photography was a long, tough profession. The first example of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;photographâ&#x20AC;? dates all the way back to 1000 A.D. A strange phenomenon was observed and explained by Middle Eastern scientist Ibn al-Haytham. He was able to describe the science behind a strange effect that had been known for hundreds of years, but no one knew what to make of it. The way this optical illusion was preformed was there would be a single hole in a dark room. The hole would be very small and it would let a little light in. The light would show an upside image of whatever was outside the hole. It was called camera obsurca. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the early 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the technology was invented to capture an image. Two French inventors tried to use silver and other materials to try and hold the image. NicĂŠphore NiĂŠpce was the first one to get an image to stay on paper that was coated with a silver chloride mix. However, the more light was exposed, the more the image faded. When NiĂŠpce died his partner, Louis Daguerre, continued the work. Daguerre experimented and discovered that a copper plate coated with silver

iodine could capture an image in a box. Once the plate was placed in a box, a lens would then allow light to hit the plate. The light would allow an image that stayed on the plate, based on how long light entered through the lens. This was the true start of modern photography. By 1840, the new invention was made available to the public. Soon, photography parlors began opening all over the world, including the United States. After the end of the Civil War, a man named George Eastman developed a new way to take photographs. Up until 1885, photos were taken with large, bulky boxes that required heavy plates to be used as a medium. Also, there was still a need to hold open the lens for long periods of time to get the image. Eastman had started using celluloid with his cameras. Each camera came with film that would be sent back to the factory and developed for the customer. His first camera was called Kodak. In 1900, Eastman had a very successful company and had many different models of the Kodak, including a new one called the Brownie. The Brownie was user friendly and could be used without fiddling with settings and lighting. With the advent of the Brownie, American families were able to

document their daily lives for a fraction of the price using a professional photographer. Although all Americans could use this new technology with ease, there was still the problem of getting film developed. A person had to learn how to develop film on their own or pay someone to do it for them. There was also the wait. Even one hour seemed too long if you were in a hurry. In the early 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Polaroid invented a camera that would take photos and develop them at the same time. This new style was called the Polaroid Instant Camera. Until the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Polaroid had many done polarization and other optical devices. Their founder, Edward Land has 533 different patents, second to only Thomas Edison with his being just over 1000. Polaroid was the one and only company for a long time to claim they had instant photo capability. One of the most iconic model was the Polaroid Onestep SX-70 circa 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, shown here. All the user had to do was point, shoot and wait for the photograph to dispense from the front of the camera. The ease at which people could have a physical photo was a huge selling point. As with any technology, time progressed and digital film started to take over for the classic roll film. People started to take their film to large chain stores and photograph shops began to close up. Everyone started to buy digital cameras and it made sense. There was never a need to worry about film or even wasting film. Digital photography has changed the way photos are taken. Some say that it is like a lost art. However, technology marches on, getting better and better.

Birdnow retains strong Monona location Mark Birdnow remains involved in the overall business, and his sons manage the local day-to-day operations in their respective stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This makes such a strong statement to our Monona-area community that this is where Birdnow Chevrolet wants to beâ&#x20AC;?, says chamber director Rogeta Halvorson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally important that everyone here supports it and all local businesses by giving them the first chance to supply the products and services we need and want, which helps to boost a thriving local economy.â&#x20AC;? Hosted by MFL Lions Club, Monona area folks are invited to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customer Appreciation Breakfastâ&#x20AC;? on Saturday, November 19 from 7 to 11 a.m. at Birdnowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monona store at 12634 Falcon Drive (lower Main St.). Designed to thank customers in person for their patronage, the Lions Club also wants you to meet Justin Birdnow to welcome him to the Monona store. To further their commitment to Monona, Justin and his wife Meghan recently purchased a home right outside of Monona, and soon will be moving their three young daughters here to become future MFL MarMac students. For more information, please contact Justin Birdnow at justinb@ birdnow.com, 563-539-2061, or stop into the store at 12634 Falcon Drive in Monona.

Started over 40 years ago, the Birdnow family has been operating northeast Iowa car dealerships in Monona, Oelwein, Cascade, and Jesup. Having raised their family in Jesup, where their sons graduated from high school and later entered the family business, the Birdnow family announced it has recently sold its Cascade and Jesup stores. The Cascade store was sold to a Dubuque dealer who wished to expand his network of new car dealerships; Jesup was sold to Rydellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Waterloo. While the family tried hard to find a suitable buyer for its Jesup store, the best option turned out to be Rydellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, who has closed it in order to have less competition for their existing stores. Mark Birdnow says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve arranged that all of our employees were either offered a job in our Oelwein store, or Rydellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offered some of them jobs at their locations.â&#x20AC;? The Birdnow family preserves its long-standing support of and commitment to the communities of Monona, as well as Oelwein. Sons Justin Birdnow and Jeremy Birdnow, who have a combined 20+ year management track record working at their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four stores, have both moved into fulltime management positions at the two stores. Jeremy, 37, manages the Oelwein store, and Justin, 34, manages the Monona store.

Completion of pipe lining is expected by end of November. It was noted, however, there is 420 lateral sewer connections that need to be grouted as well. That work would likely take several weeks assuming construction crews work extra shifts. It was also confirmed that contractor would provide adequate notification to adjacent property owners when working on pipe lining. In conclusion Ruden mentioned that initial project completion date of November 1st as previously set by the Iowa DNR has passed although DNR was notified and had no problem with revised timeline as long as work continues until finished. Contract ‘B’: Ruden stated that work

related to three (3) sanitary sewer lift stations and WWTP is essentially complete except for short punch list of minor items. A walk around inspection with city and Portzen Construction representatives has been tentatively set for November 15th. He also explained an additional expense of approximately $400 that would be incurred related to Bacon-Davis hourly wage rates as part of a portion of the construction contract. A change order would be prepared when final amount has been determined. 4) Gordon Residential Subdivision Zoning Matter: Monona Enterprises representative Jim Moritz discussed recent zoning matter related to Gordon Residential Subdivision. Mr. Moritz felt it was necessary to clarify situation regarding a zoning change request that was submitted by ‘The Overland Group’ for constructing a Dollar General Store in Lot 19 of the Gordon Subdivision. Lot 19 is currently Zoned R-2 Residential-Multi-Family Dwelling and would need to be amended by city council designating the parcel as a Highway Commercial Zoning District. As part of the Subdivision Covenants, 75% of property owners of record within the subdivision must approve a change in zoning for any lot located within the development. Per a Ballot Vote conducted by Moritz March 2, 2016, nine (9) property owners voted in favor of the change with two (2) owners opposed. Based on those results, the city was subsequently notified to proceed with process for considering zoning change. It was explained that after March 2nd vote was tabulated, property owners changed their minds as evidenced by a notarized petition signed by ten (10) subdivision property owners opposing the zoning change. The petition was subsequently submitted and received by city council members at October 17th public hearing. At conclusion of public hearing, council took action rejecting the zoning request. Moritz stated he was advised by his attorney not to release the ballots or attend public hearings on the matter. However, in order to clear-up any misinformation pertaining to initial balloting procedure, Moritz provided Mayor Fran Passmore with actual ballots. Mayor Passmore confirmed that ballot vote taken March 2nd was in fact correct and also acknowledged she had signed a ‘Confidentiality Agreement’ regarding said ballots. Council members thanked Mr. Moritz for the clarification. 5) Fire Department Report: Chief Dave Smith provided written report and briefly discussed Fire Department activity for month of October. Smith mentioned a variety of activities that took place during Fire Prevention month. 6) Review Proposed 2017 MCED Budget: Monona Chamber and Economic Development (MCED) chairman Brent Formanek reviewed proposed MCED Budget for CY2017. Formanek explained revenue and expense numbers as projected. At conclusion questions and comments, it was consensus of council members to consider funding request again at November 21st regular meeting. 7) Approve Contribution to 2017 MFL MarMac After-Prom Event: Moved by Koenig, seconded by Bachman, to authorize a contribution in amount of $200 for 2017 MFL Mar-Mac After-Prom Event. Ayes – Three. Nays – One. Motion Carried. 8) Approve Pay Request Related to Bulldog Blvd Street Improvements: Upon recommendation of project engineer Jon Biederman of Fehr Graham, it was moved by Meyer, seconded by Elledge, to approve pay request No. 2 from Bacon Concrete in amount of $122,478.71 for Bulldog Boulevard construction work. Carried Unanimously. 9) Approve Change Order Related to Bulldog Blvd Street Improvements: Upon recommendation of project engineer Jon Biederman of Fehr Graham, it was moved by Koenig, seconded by Elledge, to approve Change

Order No. 1 from Bacon Concrete in amount of $1,403.52 for construction work associated with Bulldog Boulevard Improvements. Carried Unanimously. 10) Status of Bulldog Blvd Project: City engineer Jon Biederman stated project was substantially complete and that permeable paver street was opened to traffic November 3rd. He indicated all construction looks good and there was only a short punch list of minor items that could be completed in the spring. A permeable paver maintenance guide as well as a project photo album was provided to the city administrator. At conclusion of comments, Biederman presented a plaque to the city from the Iowa Chapter of American Public Works Association (APWA) in recognition of their Project of the Year Award (Transportation) for 2014 Aquatic Center Permeable Paver Parking Lot located adjacent to Bulldog Boulevard. 11) Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Park Bandstand Project Committee: Meyer, seconded by Elledge, to Adopt Resolution No. 2016-29 Authorizing Fundraising Activities and Appointing Project Committee for Proposed City Park Bandstand Improvements. Roll Call Vote: Ayes – Four. Nays – None. Resolution Adopted. 12) 2017 REAP Grant Application for City Parks Improvements: Administrator informed council that a meeting with Lora Friest, director of Northeast Iowa Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D), has been scheduled for Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. to review and discuss a 2017 REAP Grant Application. City Park Improvements or Gateway Park/Trail Improvements would be considered as a potential project. Lora will make a recommendation after review of all information including 2016 REAP Grant Application for City Park Improvements. 13) Brownfields Program – Former Interstate Power Co. Building/Lot: Moved by Bachman, seconded by Elledge, to accept proposal from Haas Limited to perform an ACM Inspection of dilapidated building as part of Brownfields Program. It was consensus of council to proceed with inquiry as to redeveloping the lot for a police department garage/facility as part of an Iowa DNR Brownfields Funded Project. 14) Discuss Proposal from ‘The Overland Group’ Involving Commercial Park Lot: Realtor Nathan Trappe explained a written proposal that was received Monday, November 7, 2016 from The Overland Group (TOG) that involves a city owned parcel of land situated along US18 in the Monona Commercial Park. Trappe stated TOG has also identified a second parcel adjacent to US18 that might be suitable for construction of a Dollar General Store. Council reviewed provisions of the proposal regarding covenants/restrictions. At conclusion of comments and questions, it was decided that city administrator Canton would visit with city attorney Greg Schiller about covenants as well as other language in the agreement and provide a recommendation to council at next meeting. Mayor/Council/Clerk Notes: • Results of September 13th Monona Zoning Code Violation Hearing held at Clayton County Courthouse still pending. • Residential development of lot 19 located in Gordon Subdivision is being discussed with Monona Enterprises. Options for financing extension of utility infrastructure into lot 19 would be pursued. Mayor Passmore declared meeting adjourned at 7:29 P.M. Next regular council meeting was scheduled for Monday, November 21, 2016 at 6:00 P.M. in Monona Community Center. Dan Canton, City Administrator

AREA

Frank Rodenberg Frank served in the Army from June 1954 to June 1956 with Company C 22nd Infantry in Germany. Frank’s quilt was pieced by Sheryl Mielke and quilted by Shirley Harwood.

She explained that Veterans Day was first celebrated in the United States one year after the end of World War I. It was later changed to celebrate all veterans, not just the ones that had died. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation that made Nov. 11 a national holiday in 1954. The name would also be changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day, as

this was to celebrate all veterans, not just the ones from the Great War. The men’s choir then sang a rendition of “Tell my Father” before MFL student Kira Rieck gave a brief history of the Korean War. It was then time for the quilts to be awarded to each veteran on stage. Diana Parker gave the history about the quilts and explained what

each of the three layers of quilt meant. The top layer represents community, love and gratitude towards the recipient The middle layer is for hope, comfort and peace. The back layer, that holds the quilt together, is for strength. The quilt is an “award to honor those who serve,” Parker said before the quilts were displayed and handed out. After the quilts were given each branch of the military’s song was played. Veterans of the branches stood when they heard their song being played. After each branch was recognized, a microphone was passed around to each veteran to allow him or her to state their branch they served in, when and where. When each veteran present had spoken, a moment of silence was held to remember those who have been lost. There was a final song performed, “Blades of grass and Pure White Stones,” by Micah Decker, Spencer Rose, James Slama, Christopher Wright. The veterans then were escorted off the stage to seats in the auditorium so that they could see a slide show that had every veteran that is or was in the Monona area. Patriotic country songs played as the service members were shown on the screen. Corlett then took the stage one final time to thank all the veterans for their service.
