Children receive help during holidays Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor Every year, there are children with the MFL MarMac school system that have trouble getting proper clothes, food and even hygiene products. This time of year is extremely tough on the students and their families. Winter brings in cold temperatures and sometimes job layoffs. This means that students struggle with staying warm and making their way through the snow. However, there is hope thanks to Angels Helping Angels. Angels Helping Angels is a way for anonymous donations to be made to children in the school system. From pre-kindergarten to 12th-grade, students receive a custom box based on their needs. A student is selected after a letter is sent home with that student or some older students are approached by the school counselor. That student is then added to a database. This database has information about the age, size and interests of that child. Then those are sent out to the people who have contacted the organizer to be a donor. All that the donor receives is an Angel number and the information needed to buy the items. Both the donor and recipient give no names, so that no one can be singled out. This charitable program started out after the organizer had first hand experience with children who were not dressed for winter. The organizer, who will be named June, said the idea started four years ago. June was picking up her child at a school, who needed to be signed out by a parent. Everyday, there was a little girl who also needed to be signed out before going home. June started to sign the girl out to be taken home, being as her parents never did. As winter came, it was clear that the girl did not have proper clothing to deal with the cold and the snow. She had a smelly coat on and it was obvious that she was in need of new clothes. June agreed to take the girls coat home and clean it. It got to the point where June decided to do a little bit of shopping to help out the little girl. When she was at the store, she received a phone call from the principal. The principal asked June if should could also get clothing for another student, one who was worse off than the one she was already shopping for. The principal promised to reimburse in anyway possible. June agreed and brought what she had back to the school. When she saw the other student

who was worse off, June cried. The student was wearing a thin, white shirt, pants that were stained and dirty and only had sandals to traverse the snow in. This got June thinking. She started to ask if other students were in need. The principal said that there was other students that could use some help. She shared her story on Facebook and people started to line up to help in anyway they could. The first year was a spontaneous event that culminated in to a giant community outreach program. After that, the years have become more structured and support has grown. “Each year we get better,” June said. The purpose of Angels Helping Angels is to help the children, but this time of year also impacts the parents. June mentioned that one woman was a donor one year, and then became a recipient later. She had lost her job after the holiday rush was over and that lost income was affecting her child. The program has had a profound effect on the people in the community. There are some families that can barely get by but they still found a way to donate, according to June. During the 2015 winter season, there were 165 children that were signed up to for the program. There were 100 donors; some “adopted” more than one child. There have already been 60 people that have signed up through Facebook for this year. The only real deadline to sign up is the week of Christmas, however most people like to have a match before the Black Friday sales. Everything that is donated is brand new and most of the food is non-perishable. The recipients can receive their goods immediately or anytime before the holiday break, based on what they filled out on their form. It is important to remember that although the temperature is unseasonably warm, winter is coming and it is necessary to dress a child in the proper attire. What turned out to be a simple act of kindness has grown into a community wide event that helps hundreds of children and their families during the winter months each year. This act has shown that a single person can have a huge impact on other people’s lives. For more information visit the Facebook page MFL MarMac Angels Helping Angels for more information and to sign up to be a donor.

Outlook Editor The MFL MarMac school board were informed about all the different resources that are made available to students during the Nov. 14 meeting. Leslie Henkes gave a presentation about what resources were being offered to students, and how the programs are helping students in and outside of the classroom. Starting with the eighth grade students, each grade is offered different opportunities to help them with college and post-high school life. The eighth grade class is given a tour of the high school in spring. They get to meet the presidents of various clubs and afterschool programs. The ninth grade class will start to make use of the Iowa College Access Network (ICAN) services. ICAN is resources made available for students to help them plan for college and careers. That includes helping choose a career, setting long-term goals and scholarship preparation. The 10th grade class can take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASBAV) test, which helps them choose a career and prepare them for the military, if they choose to do so. The 11th grade will start to talk to college representatives and take some college preparation classes. The 12th grade will receive help with financial aid and they will build on what they have learned in previous years. MFL MarMac is the only school in the area to offer that kind of format for the students, according to local college representatives. The middle school students have begun using yoga to help them

relax in the middle of the day. This technique took off after a teacher tried it during the beginning of her class. Soon, the students wanted to keep doing the exercise and other classes wanted to try their hand at yoga. The daily ritual only last three to five minutes and does not affect the class. So far all the children participating enjoy the meditation session and they look forward to the exercise every day. Natalie Heiring and Kelly Winter will both be stepping down as the volleyball coaches. Heiring was the head volleyball coach for the high school and Winter was head of the middle school volleyball team. The resignations will take effect on Jan. 10. The principals of each school gave administrative reports about before and after school programs. Larry Meyer stated that there is a before school program that starts at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The program offers brain games for any students that want to participate. These games include Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles and chess. These activities are meant for students to relax and relieve stress before starting the school day. The turnout was low at first, but the attendance has been growing as word spreads around the school. Meyer also praised the school for its Veterans Day ceremony. He commented that he has “never been so impressed by the coordination” than what he saw on Nov. 11. Denis Mueller gave the school report for the middle school. The middle school praised the Veterans Day ceremony, which was streamed via Internet so that those students could see the presentation. There was a discussion about having some of the middle school students attending next year’s ceremony.

It was also reported that there was a 75 percent participation in parent-teacher conferences for this year. Finally, Kathy Koether gave her report on the elementary school. It stated that eight students were chosen to hold the doors and hand out the programs for the ceremony. She also praised the Veterans Day ceremony. It was noted that some of the younger students have shown interest in yoga and some classes have started to use simple yoga posses. It has been noted that the Lexia learning program has gotten the children excited about reading and they all want their awards to be posted on the walls in the hallway. There are so many that they will most likely get taken down at the end of the quarter so that more can go up. The parent-teacher conference for the elementary students had 95 percent participation for this year. Superintendent Dale Crozier gave his administration report to wrap up the meeting. There will be a change in the spring break schedule. Due to parent-teacher conferences in the spring, spring break will be one day longer. The new schedule will have elementary on Feb. 28 and March 2. Middle school and high school will have theirs on March 21 and 23. There is talk about building a recreational complex in the future. A building committee has already met once to discuss what they would like to have in the complex. It would most likely have two gyms plus an indoor track. The complex is in the earliest of planning phases and is not expected to begin construction for another three to four years.

Exhibition teaches things are not what they seem Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor The Hidden in Plain Sight Exhibition, which is hosted by the Clayton County Community Collaboration Council, creates a “room” for visitors to explore and look for any hiding spots for drugs. Participants are encouraged to touch and find places where drugs and alcohol might be stored. Some of the more inventive hiding places include a large, hollowed out battery, a book with pages cut as to hid a small lock box and a CD case that housed a scale. The room that was set up also had telltale signs of if a teen might be involved with drugs and drug culture. Anything that has “420” or Bob Marley being displayed is a way to see if they might be using drugs. The room has been at the Clayton County Fair, Guttenberg and Elkader. The room is transported around on trailer by the Clayton County Sheriff Department. The room can be rented for a fee of $100 and up, depending on distance and if officers are meant to give a presentation. The exhibition averages 60 visitors, mainly parents of children.

Hidden in Plain Sight Clayton County Sheriff deputy Tim Engelhardt explains how simple objects in a teenagers room can house dangerous drugs and substances at the Hidden in Plain Sight exhibition at the Monona Community Center on Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2016. NOLAN PORTER | OUTLOOK EDITOR

Besides the room, there were tables with statistics and drug paraphernalia. There was a display that showed the different types of drugs and the tools that are used

with different drugs. The Monona Police Department was also on hand to answer any questions about drugs.

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!

About 40 years ago, Mark Birdnow started his first dealership with just a couple of employees. Today, that business has grown to two dealerships: one in Monona and the other in Oelwein. Mark has decided to step aside and let his sons, Justin and Jeremy, take over the family business. Both the Birdnow brothers are minority owners of the family business. Justin has recently taken control of the Monona branch, but to him titles don’t matter. “I don’t care about a title,” Justin said. “Whenever there is an issue, I’m here to help.” Justin is in the process of moving from Cascade, where the other Birdnow dealership was. The Cascade dealership and the Jesup one were recently sold as they are “scaling back” and “concentrating on the two locations” that are currently open. Although Justin sports the Birdnow name, he wants to make clear that he was not given the job. He started by cutting grass when he was young. He then went on to detail cars for five years. At the age of 23, he began to manage the dealership in Cascade, Iowa. His knowledge of the business is not just what he learned working for his dad all those years. Justin attended the Disney Institute, which teaches business techniques on how to make a customer happy. He also graduated from the National Auto Dealers Association, which teaches how to run a dealership. He brings all his experience to the Monona dealership, which has been in town since 2003. Although he is going to be managing the Monona dealership, Justin wanted to stress that he was just part of a bigger whole when it comes to the business. “We have great people here,” Justin said. “This isn’t all about me.” When talking about his staff Justin said, “I am just here to support them.” He is very proud of his staff, especially the ones that have been working decades at the dealership. Justin named off six employees who have over ten years experience. There were even two who had over 30 years at the dealership. When asked if he was nervous about taking over the position, he said no. He has the same job in Monona that he had in Cascade. At the age of 34, he has been in the car dealer business for a most of his life and knows his way around a dealership. Justin and his wife of eight years have three daughters and three dogs that accompany them on hikes. He likes to relax with his family around a fire and he enjoys coaching his daughter’s sports teams. Justin is looking forward to settling in and finding a church to start attending.

Let us help you create the perfect holiday greeting! Wishing you a...

MEistRmRasY! Chr

Love, The Robinsons

Meeting of Franklin Homemakers Vicki Folkers

Secretary Treasurer Erma Swenson was hostess for the Franklin Homemakers on November 9th. Erma’s thought for the day was from her Daily Reading Calendar on Courage & Honesty. Roll call was a favorite recipe. Ruth White’s lesson was on her quilts. She became interested when she took a quilt workshop that Jane Lamborn had in 1977. Ruth showed the members many of the beautiful quilts she’s made through the years. The next Club meeting will be a potluck at noon, December 14th. Jane Lamborn will be the hostess. Roll call – your thoughts of the good and bad of living in Iowa. There will be an exchange of secret pal gifts and names drawn for 2017 secret pals. The saying for the month is “Life is Not a Rehearsal”

Letter to the Editor: We witnessed high adventure Saturday night at the MarMac High Auditorium. Pirates, Indians, wild boys, fighting, and flying…. Oh My! Peter Pan and his “never grow up” story captured us all. Lizzie Herzmann as Peter was winsome and wonderful. Nick Stavroplus’ Captain Hook commanded the stage. His pirate crew Emma Ammons, Brooklyn Landt, Hannah and Spencer Rose, Joe Dodgen, Micah Decker, and Sierra Wiebensohn were bravura boisterous. The Darling children Elizabeth Miene, Keagen Smerud, and Brenna Boland won us over with their bravery and heart. Hurrah to the mighty fly crew that put them in the air. Lost Boys Mackenzie Gramlich, Isabella Torkelson, Kaylee Bachman, Abby Schellhorn, Kennedy and Kenzie Bachman were perfect scamps. Indians Jonah Willie, Skylar and Sydney Moser, Jesse Bruer, and Nick Stavroplus were at once menacing and fun. Special kudo’s for stand out character performances go to Max Koeller, Anjela Waterman and Chelbe Feuerhelm. Karen Suddendorf on piano kept all songs lively and sharp. Set and costumes brought excitement and flash to the story. Congratulations to director Diane Fisk and her assistant Angie Killian for pulling together this technically difficult and intricately staged production. The MFL MarMac staff and board are to be commended for supporting theater that educates, entertains and builds our students in so many ways. Finally applause to the school district and community for building and providing a splendid auditorium for actors and audience alike. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Russ Hagen Waterville, Iowa

Strength in numbers matters; Nov. 26 is Small Business Saturday in Monona

What I am thankful for

Rogeta Halvorson

Outlook Editor

Monona Chamber

It has been said that one small purchase can make a big difference to a small business owner on a day when walk-in traffic may be lighter than normal. Some, but not all, brick and mortar store owners have chosen a different path by converting into online stores, which makes younger shoppers happy to use their smart phones to shop while older shoppers may prefer in-person sales. We are a mobile society and will drive to another town to pick up items that are regularly carried by our hometown small businesses. Pricing is always a consideration, but think about the time and energy you spend on travel, gas, and wear-and-tear on your car just to find a slightly lower price. These are some reasons why Main Streets across America might be negatively impacted . . . but you can help boost our local economy. Many Monona small businesses, all or in-part, just don’t fit into the online sales mode. Monona Chamber members are made up of over four dozen great retail stores, salons, restaurants and bars, service shops, and commercial and industrial businesses which call for speaking with a real-live sales person such as your pharmacist or expert builder; test driving a car or trying on an item to wear; buying groceries, gas, or dining out; touching or seeing for yourself the items you want to buy; getting your

tires rotated or oil changed; and, the list goes on. The day someone figures out how to get an online haircut and massage, let me know. In that case, we literally need the personal touch! First, there was Black Friday. Then, there was Cyber Monday. Now, there’s Small Business Saturday: a day focused on all the small businesses that fuel the economy and invigorate our community. It is up to each one of us to support our local economy or maybe one day some businesses can’t any longer make a living here and would sadly close their doors. As our friend, family, or neighbor, always consider giving a Monona business owner the first chance to supply you with the products and services you’d buy. Show your support by pledging to shop small in Monona on November 26 on Small Business Saturday. If each one of us would shop small, it will be huge. Stick around Monona over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend for shopping, museum tours (weekdays 1-4; Sat./Sun. by appointment), “allinclusive” play at City Park, stroll our butterfly & memorial gardens, hike our trails, grab snacks at one of five places, or sit down for a full meal, and later enjoy downtown music and night-time entertainment. For more information, please contact Rogeta Halvorson at MononaChamber@neitel.net, call 563539-8340, or stop into the chamber office at 103 W. Center Street in downtown Monona, to see a full list.

RUFF REPORT News from the Statehouse November 17, 2016 This will be my last newsletter as your State Representative. It is with heart-felt gratitude to have served you over these past four years. I have had the honor of meeting such great individuals across this district and our state. Thank you. I am not going to sugar coat it. I am going to miss it. The capitol is truly like a small town where everyone knows everyone. I have made some of my closest friends over the past two terms, and I have had the opportunity to work with

amazingly talented people. Not to mention, to have been a lucky girl to say she has worked in one of the most beautiful buildings in the state of Iowa. I am proud of what I was able to accomplish for the district, and to do so by putting party politics aside. I have always felt that more could be accomplished by working together and through compromise than being obstinate. The goal is to leave the State in a better place after your time in the legislature is up. I know I did everything I could to do just that. Again, thanks to all of you. It’s been one heck of ride!

Nolan Porter

As per usual around this time of year, I start to get excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Christmas dwarf’s Thanksgiving more and more every year, but I still like Thanksgiving because it is an excuse to enjoy a day off and spend time with family. I also love the food and the closeness of it all. It gives me a nice, warm feeling, like I am inside a Norman Rockwell painting. Of course, the reason (or what I see as the reason) for the holiday is to take stock in one’s life and be thankful what we all have. I know it is more to do with harvests and celebrating a year of good farming, but I feel it has changed to be more about just a day of thanks. As I sit down and chat it up with relatives, I see the huge spread laid out and start to layer my plate with food as best as I can. After I settle in to a marathon of eating, I do stop and think about all the things I am thankful for. I remember one Thanksgiving I was at my grandmothers. She wanted us to go around and say what we were thankful for. When it got to my turn, my cousin and I laughed and said 64-bit video games. But that was fine. Our family was easy going and after having a good laugh, I did think that I was thankful for, well, everything. As broad as that is, I am. I have had supportive parents and they have been very loving. They kept me fed, warm and safe all these years. Even now, I know that I am just a phone call away from getting any help they could offer. I am thankful for my extended family. Like all families, we are diverse and getting together is like organizing a bunch of clowns, but that is part of the fun. I love to travel to St. Louis and visit my cousins because I enjoy the adventure. Most importantly, I love them. To me, family is the most important thing. I love seeing everyone and spending time with them. Besides family, I think friends are second most important. I have some of the best friends in the entire world. I have been on many journeys that I will never forget, all thanks to my friends. I treat a them just like family. My mom, dad and I have spent Thanksgiving with my friend’s family, who live a few houses up. The past few Christmases have been a combination of Porter Christmas

and Wacker Christmas. I am so thankful that I have that kind of relationship with my friends and their families. Those are just a few of the personal things that I am thankful. I could make a list à la Oscar style thanking everyone I have ever met, but that would just take up too much time and space, so I will expand on more things that I think are under appreciated during this time of year. I am thankful that I have a brain and think for myself. I know that is the most abstract thing to be thankful for, but let me explain. I am a firm believer in science and the truths that it holds. I cannot understand all the intricacies and the math, but I understand the whole picture and that is what I am thankful for. I understand how far away the stars are and how long it takes for light from the Sun to reach Earth (just over eight minutes). I can understand the concept on which computers run. The list goes on and on. I understand these things because I went to college and was able to use my brain. Whenever I see someone with mental and physical disabilities, I get very sad. But in that sadness, I am able to see that I have had a healthy life. I do not rely on someone to help me with simple things like feeding or bathing myself. I am so thankful that I can do things that some people will never have the ability to. That is just a small example of all the things I am grateful for. I think about this stuff a lot, with or without Thanksgiving. But I get extra thankful around this time of year. ‘Tis the season, as it were. Even now, as I sit at a job that I am thankful for, my head is spinning from everything that I can give thanks for. Some things seem simple or trivial, but to me, I see everything as a marvel. I may be simple to please, but it gives me happiness that I have all these amazing things in my life. On the big scale, I have my family and friends to give thanks to. On a more daily level, I am thankful for the scientist, inventors and whoever else has helped me have access to the tools and technology that I have. I guess what I am saying is that I am thankful for a lot of things. I wake up and see the entire world as one giant thing to give thanks to. I have gratitude for things that others might think as silly. Weather it is family or the family dog, just remember to take some time and give thanks to what matters most to you.

Popular OWLS Program, Nov. 11, 1940 blizzard blows by again, has an encore presentation Jean Marie Hall Freelance Writer

If this story was a Hollywood movie or a television show brought back after cancellation, the headline would read “Back by Popular Demand”! But it’s a rerun of a popular OWLS program previously offered on Nov. 11, 2009. Clayton County Conservation Naturalist Abbey Harkrader, the planner and presenter of the Older Wiser Livelier Souls programs, had good reviews on the program the first time so she offered it again along with inviting similar groups from surrounding counties. 26 people were present at the current re-telling. Abbey began with a slide presentation highlighting the historic facts of the day’s events. More than 140 people died in the blizzard that struck out of nowhere in the Midwest that November day in 1940. Many of the dead were duck hunters on the lakes, rivers and wetlands of the area. Farm animals and wildlife also perished in great numbers. Luckier people survived to repeat the story many times. It was a warm and sunny autumn day, the kind duck hunters refer to as a “bluebird day”! It was a great day for lounging around and talking about duck hunting but not the preferred nasty weather that prompts the birds to fly. Locals were walking around in short sleeves and many were trying to find ways to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather, much like that we’ve experienced this year. Then suddenly all that changed when flocks of ducks began coming in a mass migration. They flew down the Mississippi Flyway, the Missouri Flyway and others. Hunters made quick decisions to go hunting. Those near the Mississippi loaded their decoys and guns into their boats and headed for the islands in mid-river. Just as suddenly, the weather began to change. Temperatures began to fall, the wind came up and the sky darkened. In their excitement to hunt, many hunters failed to pay attention to the changes that should have sent up a red flag of warning to them. It wasn’t long before the force

of the winds was up to 40-50 miles per hour gusting even higher. The temperature dropped 30 degrees in two hours. Precipitation that began as rain quickly turned to sleet and then to snow. Those hunters who were more seasoned river men began to realize what was happening and headed back to land. With winds howling like a hurricane, the others, many from cities and towns in Iowa and Wisconsin, found themselves stranded. As they tried to get back to solid ground, oars broke, propellers on motors broke and clothing froze to their backs. As reality began to sink in, some tried to erect makeshift shelters and build fires. They tried to use fuel from their boat motors to start a fire but cold, wet fingers couldn’t even light a match. One man ran in circles off and on all night to keep warm and keep his circulation moving. Although various versions of the story have been told, one involves a group of Guttenberg residents: L.W.Abel, Cornelius Tuecke and a third man who for many years remained unknown. The men started out from the Abel cottage at noon to go hunting. Mr. Abel’s boat motor became disabled after hitting an obstacle in the river, more than likely a rock or stump. As the storm intensified, Mr Abel’s brother, Mick, made an attempt to rescue the men but his boat was not big enough to hold four men. Jess Moser later succeeded in rescuing them in a bigger, heavier boat. Joe Ihm of Guttenberg was in the audience at the first program, as he was the second time. He filled in the name of the third and heretofore unremembered man, Joe’s father, Herman Ihm. Joe remembered that it was a three day weekend and his family had traveled home to Guttenberg from Des Moines to enjoy the pleasant weather. When the ducks began to fly, his dad decided to join the other men for a hunt. Joe recalls being told that as the weather worsened, the men turned the boat over to have a little shelter from the storm. He doesn’t remember his mother being too concerned, saying she probably didn’t realize how dangerous the conditions actually

were. Another audience member at the first offering of the story, Jack Slyfield, McGregor, now deceased, had been hunting with his father. He was 13 years old at the time and remembered being ready to take off in shirt sleeves. His father cautioned him to get a jacket and when he grabbed just a sweater, his dad told him to get his hunting jacket. He was very grateful later on that he had. In saying that his dad was a river man, “River people can read it like a book”, he believes that his father recognized the danger when the barometric pressure began to drop because he suddenly decided to go back to town. Jack continued his narrative saying that they had killed ducks that were floating in the water and his dad wouldn’t even take the time to go pick them up. They hurriedly yanked out their decoys even though their usual method was to carefully pull them up and lay them in an orderly fashion on the bottom of the boat. Side-note: Since that first program, Mr. Slyfield has passed away. For those interested, here is an excerpt from his obituary: Slyfield, Commander Frederick J. Jack (In Memoriam) Commander Frederick J. Jack Slyfield, USN, 84, of McGregor, died Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012, after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Dawn D. Slyfield of West Union; his sister, Julie Setterlun of Prairie du Chien, Wis.; his daughter,

Shannon J. Silvestre of Houston, Texas; and his son, F.J. Skip Slyfield of Park City, Utah. A combat veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, he retired after 26 years as a naval aviator. He returned to his beloved Mississippi River and hometown of McGregor to start his second career as an industrial arts teacher at Mar-Mac High School. He spent 15 years on the Mar-Mac Rescue Squad as an EMT for Clayton County. He served as mayor of McGregor in 1998. Several people in the latest program had other memories from the infamous day, regarding the loss of livestock, particularly chickens, driving conditions, and getting stranded at farmers’ homes. Following the storm, officials discussed canceling pheasant season for the rest of the year, but chose not to. Anyone who may be interested in knowing more about the “Armistice Day Storm” of 1940 will find no lack of material available. One such book is “All Hell Broke Loose”, a collection of various stories from the day, compiled by William H. Hull. Others are “The Bitter Storm: A Tale of the Armistice Day Blizzard”, by Aaron J. Peterson; “Wings in the Wind: The Armistice Day Storm of 1940”, by Jon Steffes. The OWLS programs are now complete for the 2016 season. It will resume in March 2017. Watch for announcements closer to that time.

Shepherd of the Hills Conference Ministry will again be sponsoring their Christmas Just 4 Kids Project. This effort is combined with the Department of Human Services, Community Action, HAWC partnerships for children, FADSS, VNA, General Assistance, Early Head Start, Substance Abuse, Alternative Services, LSI, your local Pastor, school teacher, or Doctor. The clients must have a referral from their case worker by Dec. 5. The Holiday Shop will be stocked with new donated gifts (toys, games, quilts, bath towels, etc….) the response from both the donors and the children who received gifts were overwhelming. Everyone donating gave from their hearts and the families received both material things and a feeling of joy and delight in choosing things their children needed. Our goal again this year is to provide a hand sewn or new pillowcase, pillow, pajamas, quilt or blanket, bath towel, socks, underwear, stocking cap & mittens (all have to be new) to every child with a referral that needs one. Our greatest need is teenage sizes and teenage

future of Clayton County. The input received from residents will be incorporated in the county’s plan, and will ultimately inform future county decisions on issues such as land use, housing, economic development, transportation, agriculture and natural resources. Please take the time to stop by the upcoming public meeting to share your vision for the future of Clayton County! If you wish to attain additional information on the Clayton County Comprehensive Plan and the upcoming meeting please contact Community Planner Michelle Barness of the Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission at (563) 382-6171 or by email at mbarness@uerpc.org.
