Monona City Council discusses next step for Dollar General Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor

DECEMBER 3

THURS

The Monona City Council heard the latest offer from the Overland Group to build a Dollar General in Monona during the Nov. 21 meeting. The Overland Group, which builds Dollar General stores, is interested in moving forward with building a store at the west end of Monona, on US Highway 18. The new proposed location is next to an exit off Highway 18, which is necessary for the store to be built, according to Dollar General’s standards. A private citizen owns the current property in question. The Overland Group plans to buy land, that is owned by the city, that is adjacent to the private lot. The adjacent land would be bought so that nothing could be placed there to block the view of the store. The Group wants to buy the land for $10,000. After some debate, the Council decided to submit a counter-offer of $20,000. There will be a Housing Needs Assessment open house on Nov. 29 at 5 p.m. in the Monona Community Center. The purpose of this meeting is to inform banks, relators or anyone who is interested in learning about Monona’s housing needs. The information that has been gathered includes how many houses are needed, what kind is and is not needed. One example given was that Monona has approximately 30 houses, priced $60,000 to $100,000, for sale. The U.S. Census Bureau gathered the data being used in the spring. Police Chief Jo Amsden gave her monthly police report which included an increase in suspicious activity calls. There have been three criminal charges, two warrants served for Fayette County and five arrests. There was a request for

new equipment, which included two radios and two Tasers. The radios will cost about $800 per unit, while the Tasers range from $750 to $1100. The Council approved the radios but decided to wait on a price for the Tasers before approving the purchase. Finally, the new radar monitoring sign is ready to be placed on East Iowa Street. The sign will be placed on a pole and can be moved around to monitor different streets. The City has been awarded $10,000 due to the Wellmark Foundation’s Community Kickstarter Grant. The grant money will go towards the improvements in the city park. One of the points of discussion was fixing some of the concrete around the bandstand. The grant was given to the City based on what it planned to have done and voting done by the public. One of the stipulations is creating projects that would benefit the community. The Council approved the proposed budget for the Monona Chamber and Economic Development. The Chamber asked for an additional $2000 to help with professional marketing and to have new, updated Monona brochures. The Boy Scouts have requested a new heating system for the Monona Boy Scout House. The current system has been in place since the building was built, according to Jim Langhus. The aging system cost the city extra money for the heating bill due to the system being outdated and inefficient. There is talk about getting donations from local business to help with the cost. Langhus requested that a new sign be placed at the Butterfly Garden. The new sign would be made of plastic and would not require the attention that the current sign needs. The cost is $2100 and local charities, like the Upper Mississippi Corporation, are paying for most of the sign.

Monona Chamber & Econimic Development continue annual Holiday Shop Hop; December 3–24, 2016 Rogeta Halvorson

Monona Chamber & Economic Development Monona Chamber’s annual Holiday Shop Hop runs Saturday to Saturday again this year; however, it’s been expanded from one to three full weeks from Dec. 3 – 24. This gives shoppers extra time at their own pace to select the places they will patronize to fill up their punch cards. Monona Chamber sponsors the event to promote local shopping to keep cash registers ringing, dollars circulating around town, and sales tax growing for an added boost to merchants and the local economy. Punch cards may be picked up at any of the following locations during their business hours: Monona Chamber, Quillin’s, FreedomBank, Monona Pharmacy, MJ’s Bar & Grill, R Place Sports Bar & Grille, Suhdron Fabrics, Fisk

Farm & Home, Birdnow Chevrolet, and any other location specified on MononaChamber.com. During the period, each shopper will patronize at least three chamber merchants around town, at which time merchants will validate each purchase on a shopper’s punch card (only one card allowed per shopper). Shoppers may become eligible to win one of four drawings totaling over $1,000 in gifts and prizes, all generously donated by Monona Chamber merchants. Follow Monona Chamber’s Facebook.com/mononaiowa for contest updates, prizes, and photos, and please post your tasteful Monona Holiday Shop Hop selfies on our Facebook page using #MononaIowaHolidayShopHop to share your fun memories with the community. Your eligible punch card, completed with name and contact phone number, may be dropped off

at the chamber’s downtown office over business hours Monday – Thursday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., or during after-hours 24/7 utilizing the chamber’s front door mail slot. The drop-off deadline is by 11:59 p.m. on Christmas Eve and the four lucky winners will be picked on Dec. 28. Visit MononaChamber. com to find 2016 Holiday Shop Hop rules, instructions, and a complete list of participating chamber shops and stores. Questions may be directed to Rogeta Halvorson at MononaChamber@neitel.net or 563-880-9190, or stop into the chamber office at 103 W. Center St. in downtown Monona. Another full day of Monona holiday activities is Saturday, Dec. 3, starting out before sun up at Monona Community Center with the Boy Scouts annual pancake breakfast and later in the morning MFL Lions Club’s annual holiday vendor craft/gift booths and

seafood sales. Later afternoon to early evening the Lions have added a tasty potato bar with soup and sandwich meal to raise funds to benefit area non-profit organizations. The Lions have consolidated their holiday activities into one weekend so Monona’s

lighted holiday parade, including a visit from Santa Clause, lighting of the Christmas tree, and group caroling at Monona City Park, will take place Saturday, Dec. 3, just after dark. For more information, contact Dale Radloff at 563-8809033.

At its regular November session, the McGregor City Council, Dan Gingerich presented a drawing and cost estimate for a retaining wall and corrective measures on the Lisa Scarff property. Ms. Scarff had contacted the city regarding a commitment made in 2009 by the city council to provide $2,000 towards placement of a retaining wall adjacent to Center Ave. which was constructed for the Ohmer Ridge Sub-division. Mayor Brooks confirmed with the city attorney that the previous motion was still valid so that the item would not have to be placed on the agenda for re-approval. The council was in agreement and encouraged Mr. Gingerich to complete the work yet this fall if possible. City Attorney Schuster provided a status report of the nuisance abatements. Most are progressing slowly. The council was asked to visit the area that Bunge was to repair. The work completed was not what Bunge had stated they would do. However, it will be difficult now to do the work they had originally committed to. The council felt that adjacent property owners will need to contact Bunge for any additional work they would like to see done. Other nuisances still in progress will be contacted again in the spring as they still have much to correct. The Ohmer Ridge Sub-division covenants were discussed. Mayor Brooks and Sander had visited with the city attorney regarding ideas to revise some of the requirements of the covenants to encourage lot sales. The council was asked to bring ideas to the December meeting for further consideration. Bunge lease and maintenance agreement assignments had not been completed for two locations when Bunge took over the McGregor elevator from AGRI Industries. DOT leases the staging area to McGregor who in turn leased to AGRI Industries. The city attorney will take steps to get a new lease or assignment in place to protect against liability and inform Bunge they will be responsible for the legal costs. Chief Bogdonovich had sent the clerk a copy of the language for trailer parking that is in Marquette’s ordinance. Council members then voted to table discussion of the trailer parking ordinance until a future date.

Street Superintendent Jones informed council that the city shop insulation, fire retardant paint and gutter work has been completed. The crew is getting snow removal equipment prepped and has repairs to make to the gator. They also assisted with decorating Triangle Park. Mayor Brooks asked the council if they would like to appoint a finance committee to do preliminary budget work then bring it to the council. The council’s consensus was that they would prefer to have the budget workshop as had been done in the past. An application has been submitted for public assistance for the pedestrian bridge and lift station pump. Mitigation work may be possible to increase the pipe size at the main lift station but costs estimates will need to be obtained to determine if that work could be completed with this funding. The base map that HR Green has been working on with city property locations has been returned for final review. The Sullivan Opera House survey is now on line and will also be available in hard copy at the library, city hall, chamber and MMUCouncil members approved the following motions/resolutions: • Resolution 01-11-2016 authorizing disposal of real property to Pat and Julie Mullarkey, North half of Lot 9, Block 18 JMJ addition. • Resolution 02-11-2016 Authorizing Temporary Use Permit – Steve’s Silver Dollar for smoking area and trash receptacle. • Resolution 03-11-2016 authorizing internal advances of funds in the amount of $126,237.70 for payment of urban renewal projects. • Resolution 04-11-2016 obligating the city to appropriate funds for payment of TIF debt for 2017-2018 in the amount of $252,770. • Resolution 05-11-2016 approving an amendment to the 28E agreement to provide fire protection for the City of McGregor. The amendment will set the base year percentage of cost for McGregor at slightly over 35%. • Resolution 06-11-2016 Proposing Disposal of an interest in real property

6th annual

– Trudo boundary line adjustment – and scheduling a public hearing for December 21, 2016 at 6:30 p.m.. • Approve the plat of survey for Lot A of Addition No. 1. • Schedule a public hearing for December 21, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. for proposed vacation of a portion of River Street right of way. • Approve the first reading of Ordinance 11-01-2016 Amending Code of Ordinances Updating Permit and Administrative Fees. • Waive the three reading requirement for Ordinance 1101-2016. • Approve final passage of Ordinance 11-012016. Ordinance will go into effect following publication. • Approve the first reading of Ordinance 11-02-2016 Amending Code of Ordinances Adding Chapter 153 Fences. • Waive the three reading requirement for Ordinance 1102-2016. • Approve final passage of Ordinance 11-022016. Ordinance will go into effect following publication. • Contribute $250 to the MFL MarMac After Prom Party. City Clerk Sander provided the council with a preliminary list of projects that may be considered for the next urban renewal plan amendment. Some potential projects for consideration are admin and professional support for urban renewal, turner park improvements (splash pad, restroom, concession stand), Main St. corridor & lift station, housing trust fund and housing programs, blighted property restoration, other economic development initiatives. The council voted to approve an annual pump maintenance contract in the amount of $1,200. No action on the pipe replacement at main lift station pending FEMA disaster consideration for eligibility. Council members were informed that the Holiday Train is scheduled for December 4 to arrive at 2:45 p.m. and a start time of 3:00 p.m. The council also asked a police officer to relay to the department that they need to sit near the school to slow down semi traffic.

At a young age, my front tooth was knocked out and required repairs every few years. Not to mention, discolored, crooked and fragile and currently - chipped. Dr. Mark Fohey suggested a crown - which would be permanent and strong. “For the first time since the tooth was knocked out, I felt confident smiling. The color was right, the shape was perfect, and the ability to finally use the tooth was there! Huge shout out to the staff at Monona for assisting in selecting the perfect color and being patient in the process.” says a new patient of Dr. Mark Fohey.

Windmills make us poor

Black Friday tales Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor There I was in a sea of bodies all pushing and shoving. Some had fear in their eyes, others eyes burned with greed. Then, someone pointed and the mob turned as one and moved towards the pointed object in question. There were screams, punches thrown and tears shed. Couples were separated and children were held tight against mother’s chest. Chaos was everywhere and I was stuck in the middle of it all. No, this was not a political protest; it was Black Friday. Now, what I just describe didn’t really happen, but it wasn’t too far fetched from what I have seen on the news and the Internet. For the longest time I said “no” to any Black Friday shenanigans, because I had seen how crazy things got out there. People were trampled and shoved just for 50 percent off a TV. I remember the Tickle Me Elmo craze that had people losing their minds over a toy their children most likely played with once, and then was tossed aside. I would always laugh at the fools who wake up at 4 a.m. to camp out in front of Kohl’s or Best Buy just to save a few bucks. I was home watching TV or playing video games. There was no-way I was going to be out at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving night just to grab a few deals. No. Way. And I kept that tradition up until this year. After I had enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving meal with my parents and my fiancé, it was time to put the tree up. My parents brought the tree up from Keokuk and forgot the vital tree stand. We tried to make it stand on it’s own, but it was shaky and very cheap looking. So it was decided that we make a trip to Wal-Mart to get a new tree, on Thanksgiving night, after 6 p.m. I volunteered to go alone, but my mother and fiancé insisted that they come with. For me, it was an adventure. Little did I know how much I would regret that thought. Just to clarify, neither I nor anyone in my party got hurt. But I was not ready to see how many people there were. The traffic wasn’t bad and I got a good parking spot close to the door. I did see a camper taking up six parking spots, but otherwise it was rather calm and

Nolan Porter normal outside. Once inside, that all changed. Part of my opening anecdote was based on what I saw. There were people everywhere. The lines to leave Wal-Mart were crazy because every large item had to be checked. People were gathered tightly around bins, while employees had a keen eye on items so that people would not start grabbing before the time on the box said they could. I made a beeline for the trees, which was the only reason we were there in the first place. But then it began. The sales were everywhere. Clocks, picture frames and full size mirrors were ridiculously cheap. So, I grabbed a few things and grabbed our tree. We then made our rounds to electronics, and eventually wound up back in the front. Thankfully, the lines had subsided and most of the people had already gone. We packed our well-shopped deals and returned home. The reason for my telling of my story is to remind people that deals on holiday gifts are nice but there is no reason to go crazy. I did hear of two people fighting in front of the door and one of them getting banned for six months. Was it worth it? I also remember hearing about a women getting shot last year. Again, to save a few bucks on material possessions? Isn’t that missing the point of the season? For me, the hoilday season starts on Thanksgiving. That is like a test run for Christmas. We discuss what the plan is on Christmas, who goes where and when. The day after was always the day that Mom, Dad and I would go to the tree farm and cut down a Christmas tree. It has been a tradition for as long back as I

can remember. That would kick start my holiday spirit and I would start watching Christmas movies and listening to music. Gifts were never the main reason I got excited. I have told my parents to not get me anything because I don’t care about the presents. I love gathering around and telling stories about Christmases past and reminiscing about the fun we had over the years. I like the coziness of staying inside when it is cold out and just talking. We watch movies together and laugh at how crazy our family is. That is what the holidays mean to me. I understand the allure of a great deal, but people need to remember that we all have families back home. The big question I have to everyone is “is that piece of plastic and metal worth all the hassle?” Some will say, “yes” without a second’s hesitation. As much as I love a good deal, I would rather sit on my computer and do all my shopping that way. There is no pushing and you can be nice and warm, away from the mobs trying to scramble to grab that last Pokémon machine. What about sales makes us act crazy one day a year? Are we that consumed with money and savings? I don’t know. Every year I am equally fascinated and scared about the reaction people have towards deals. They are like sharks with blood in the water. I love sales, but I do not love them enough to risk getting in a fight with someone over snatching the last Blu-Ray player up. If you missed out on an item at the last second, then don’t try to grab it out of someone’s hand, just go online when you get home. You might find an even better deal. The holiday shopping is far from over, so just remember; it is the season of peace, love and compassion. Not the season of getting the best bargain. If you don’t get exactly what you want this year, don’t worry, life will go on. That is one of the few things that I can promise you. With all that being said, happy shopping and be safe out there.

For years, alternative energy development was stifled by petroleum subsidies; among them military protection rackets and depletion allowances. The subsidies were touted as a way to prop up national security and help low income people get around. But if the cost of oil was realized at the pump instead of hidden in tax breaks and subsidies, investment in other forms of energy would have been more attractive. Any government-forced transfer of wealth results in misdirected economic decisions. The only way to know which form of energy is best is to let millions of consumers decide without interference. The market is already full of products that we’ve shown we want through purchase. So in order to cash in on a way to compete with proven goods and services, a crisis is used. In the history of Earth, we are now in the lower one quarter of the range of Earth’s temperature, yet there is some serious money to be made. In spite of the fact that nature has provided us with the ultimate storage vehicle for solar energy, fossil fuels, we are to believe that these tiny objects (relative to Earth’s surface) such as power plants and cars can drastically change the climate. In the early 1980’s when we started farming, I dug tunnels to the hog water tanks through drifts of snow the pigs would walk over as if there was no fence at all. We hung a curtain to cordon off the kitchen because the wood cook-stove was the only way to keep us warm. Now I only use insulated coveralls for ringing the Salvation Army bell at Fareway. The climate is warmer. The climate science debate is focused on whether the climate is warming and laws to fix the problem, while ignoring the consequences of those laws and the benefits they will bring. Susan Solomon (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), one of the world’s top climate scientists, and her colleagues issued a report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It states that eliminating carbon dioxide

emissions from human activity would be offset by natural processes and not slow the trend toward a warmer climate. On the other end of the scale is the most optimistic estimate of the results of a world totalitarian dictatorship (Invade China?). If we are all controlled to such an extent, the temperature of the earth would be reduced by less than one tenth of one percent of a degree F in a hundred years. We are presently spending $1.5 trillion per year on the global warming industry and according to the alarmists that is still not enough. Imagine how lifestyles would change if we were doing “enough.” This cloudy, windless day would have me huddled by a window with pencil and paper, not at this keyboard and search engine. (Google, by the way, is a joke, controlled by climate change industry tax feeders.) The bottom line is that we should tell the bio-fuel and windmill scam artists to take a hike. We should be skeptical when a crisis is touted as a way to fight a market that is truly our friend. The market makes us wealthy. Government control makes us poor. Those of us who are concerned about income inequality, the cost of medical care, and the cost of living in general should reject the idea of punishing the productive class to reward opportunistic snake oil salesmen. I can’t imagine self-described constitutional conservative, Representative Steve King, and the taxpayers’ watchdog, Senator Charles Grassley actually believe the windmill subsidies are constitutional or a moral alternative to freedom. Bringing home the bacon to Iowa costs someone else, somewhere. On this Thanksgiving Day. I am thankful we have none of these monuments to stupidity within sight of our farm.

Legal Notice PUBLIC NOTICE FEMA-4281-DR-IA & FEMA-4289-DR-IA The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its intent to reimburse State and local governments and agencies, and eligible private non-profit organizations for eligible costs incurred to repair and/ or replace facilities damaged by severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding occurring from August 23 to 27, 2016 and September 21 to October 3, 2016. This notice applies to the Public Assistance (PA) and Hazard Mitigation Grant (HMGP) programs implemented under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 USC §§ 5121-5206.as amended. Under a major disaster declaration (FEMA4281-DR-IA) signed by the President on September 29, 2016, the following counties in the State of Iowa have been designated adversely affected by the disaster and are eligible for PA only: Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette, Floyd, Howard, Mitchell, and Winneshiek (August 23 through August 27, 2016 incident period). All counties in the State of Iowa are eligible for HMGP. Additionally, under a major disaster declaration (FEMA-4289-DR-IA) signed by the President on October 31, 2016, the following counties in the State of Iowa have been designated adversely affected by the disaster and are eligible for PA only: Allamakee, Benton, Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Butler, Cerro Gordo, Chickasaw, Clayton, Delaware, Des Moines, Fayette, Floyd, Franklin, Howard, Linn, Mitchell, Winneshiek, and Wright (September 21 through October 3, 2016 incident period). All counties in the State of Iowa are eligible for HMGP. There are no counties declared for Individual Assistance on either of the two aforementioned disasters (FEMA-4281-DR-IA, FEMA4289-DR-IA). This public notice concerns public assistance activities that may affect historic properties, activities that are located in or affect wetland areas or the 100-Year Floodplain (areas determined to have a one percent probability of flooding in any given year), and critical actions within the 500-Year Floodplain. Such activities may adversely affect the historic property, floodplain or wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to flood damage. Such activities may include restoring facilities located in a floodplain with eligible damage to pre-disaster condition. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Non-emergency debris removal and disposal; 2. Non-emergency protective measures; 3. Repair/replacement of roads, including streets, culverts, and bridges; 4. Repair/replacement of public dams, reservoirs and channels; 5. Repair/replacement of public buildings and related equipment; 6. Repair/replacement of public water con-

trol facilities, pipes and distribution systems; 7. Repair/replacement of public utilities, including sewage treatment plants, sewers and electrical power distribution systems; and 8. Repair/replacement of eligible private, non-profit facilities (hospitals, educational centers, emergency and custodial care services, etc.). The President’s Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, and Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands, requires that all Federal actions in or affecting the 100Year floodplain or wetland areas be reviewed for opportunities to move the facility out of the floodplain or wetland and to reduce the risk of future damage or loss from flooding and minimize harms to wetlands. However, FEMA has determined that, in certain situations, there are no alternatives to restoring an eligible facility located in the floodplain to its pre-disaster condition. These situations meet all of the following criteria: 1. The FEMA estimated cost of repairs is less than 50 percent of the estimated cost to replace the facility and the replacement cost of the facility is less than $100,000. 2. The facility is not located in a floodway or coastal high hazard area. 3. The facility has not sustained structural damage in a previous presidentially declared flood disaster or emergency. 4. The facility is not defined as critical (e.g., hospital, generating plant, contains dangerous materials, emergency operation center, etc.). FEMA will provide assistance to restore the facilities described above to their pre-disaster condition, and also when measures to mitigate the effects of future flooding may be incorporated into the restoration work. For example, insufficient waterway openings under culverts and bridges may cause water back up to wash out the structures. The water back up could wash out the facility and could damage other facilities in the area. Increasing the size of the waterway opening would mitigate, or lessen, the potential for this damage. Additional examples of mitigation measures include providing erosion protection at bridge abutments or levees, and extending entrance tubes on sewage lift stations. Disaster assistance projects to restore facilities, which do not meet the criteria listed above, must undergo a detailed review. The review will include a study to determine if the facility can be moved out of the floodplain. The public is invited to participate in the review. The public may identify alternatives for restoring the facility and may participate in analyzing the impact of the alternatives on the facility and the floodplain. An address and phone number for obtaining information about specific assistance projects is provided at the end of this Notice. The final determination regarding the restoration of these facilities in a floodplain will be announced in future Public Notices. Due to the urgent need for and/or use of the certain facilities in a floodplain, actions to restore the facility may have started before the Federal inspector visits the site. Some of these facilities may meet the criteria for a detailed re-

Accidents view to determine if they should be relocated. Generally, facilities may be restored in their original location where at least one of the following conditions applies: 1. The facility, such as a flood control device or bridge, is functionally dependent on its floodplain location. 2. The facilities, such as a park or other open-use space, already represent sound floodplain management and, therefore, there is no need to change it. 3. The facility, such as a road or a utility, is an integral part of a larger network that could not be relocated economically. 4. Emergency action is needed to address a threat to public health and safety. The effects of not relocating the facilities will be examined. In each case, the examination must show an overriding public need for the facility at its original location that clearly outweighed the requirements in the Executive Order to relocate the facility out of the floodplain. FEMA will also consult State and local officials to make certain that no actions taken will violate either State or local floodplain protection standards. The restoration of these facilities may also incorporate certain measures designed to mitigate the effects of future flooding. This will be the only Notice to the public concerning these facilities. The National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Those actions or activities affecting buildings, structures, districts or objects 50 years or older or that affect archeological sites or undisturbed ground will require further review to determine if the property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Register). If the property is determined to be eligible for the Register, and FEMA’s undertaking will adversely affect it, FEMA will provide additional public notices.

MFL MarMac Dollars for Scholars

Cerebral Exercises

Nick Larson

Alex McNally

Media Class Journalist Dollars for scholars is a National organization that schools and communities use across the country to give out scholarships or help with college. Here at MFL MarMac, the city of Monona runs the organization. People on the board from the MFL MarMac Community School District are: President: Jim Moritz; Secretary/ Treasurer: Mary Schlein; Board Member: Tom Neuhaus; Board Member: Leslie Henkes; Board Member: David Corlett; Board Member: Vicki Baade The ways the program obtains money for the students is through

fundraisers, donations from local businesses or citizens, or through activities sponsored by the program. Fundraising examples: A baked potato bar where people spend three dollars for a potato. Soon the person receives a baked potato he or she can customize their baked potato. Then recently the students part of Dollars for scholars sold cheese curds throughout the school to raise money.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses Laycee Roys

Media Class Journalist What is the definition of excuse? excuse- verb [ik-skyo-oz] 1. an attempt to lessen the blame attaching to (a fault or offense); seek to defend or justify Excuses are everywhere, and students aren’t the only ones using them. Let’s admit we have all used them before for some reason or another, we’ve become a culture of excuses but why? Procrastination? Laziness? Why can’t people just own up to their mistakes and tell the truth? Some people take excuses way too far. People lie to cover their butt. They are tempted to do this so they don’t face punishments or consequences for not performing to the best of their abilities. It shouldn’t feel natural to lie and it shouldn’t feel natural to make excuses, although that’s the most “go to” solution to get out of a tight spot. Most people today make up excuses because they don’t want to own up to what they did; they just step around it. Brian Beck, Certified Personal Fitness Trainer said in his article Why do we make excuses, “It’s like a snowball effect. When one person makes an excuse, another person hears that and realizes that will work for them too. Then they share that excuse and so on. When we do something wrong we usually know it’s wrong and are already making up an excuse in our head.” We don’t only use excuses for why work isn’t done, excuses are made for showing up late to an event, or not even attending at all. Society today just needs to end the excuses and own up to their mistakes. Teachers have heard all of these excuses, but some of the best excuses reported by high school teachers at MFL MarMac are: “My dog ate my homework. This assignment is stupid. It’s not worth points. I left it at home. My assignment was online and it got deleted.” Students mainly use excuses because they forgot to do their homework, or were too lazy to do it. But there are some cases where students are too busy to do it. They are involved in sports or after school extracurricular activities. Senior Emily Hanson says, “I use excuses all the time. I make excuses because it’s easier than telling the truth. It’s also easier to make up an excuse to my mom or dad than to a teacher. For example, when my mom asks me if I cleaned my room I just tell her I forgot, but usually, I just don’t want to do it. I’ve used the “my dog ate my homework” but my dog actually did eat it. Most of the time I tell myself I will do it later or if I push it off it will get easier but it

usually doesn’t.” Procrastination gets the best of everyone, and Emily is not alone. Putting homework or job duties off is not going to make things any easier down the road because eventually, the chore needs to be done. Why not just get them done right away then an excuse is not needed to explain why it wasn’t finished. Students are full of excuses as to why their homework isn’t done or why they weren’t at school. Obviously, this is not the general population of students who choose to use these excuses, but it is clear that the same students tend to use these lines quite frequently. Jackie McGeough agrees, “Yes, there are definitely repeat offenders. That is the majority. Their excuses are many. They are tired, they think the assignment is stupid or they blame it on their classroom teacher not doing their job.” It’s easy for students to blame others for the reason that their homework isn’t done. They think the assignment is a waste of time so they don’t do it, and as Jackie McGeough says, “Most of the offenders are repeat offenders.” Justin Keehner, Supervisor for Clayton County recycling in Luana says, “There are certain guidelines that employers have to abide by so it’s hard to police “excuses” and is it worth policing? In the past, employees usually just called in sick but nowadays employees have a tendency to just text or they don’t even call. Justin also adds he has had some individuals wake up late so they just called in sick. He recalls one employee who claimed he was experiencing mental issues and needed to see a doctor. Although Justin asserts that most of the excuses are made because they are sick. “We’ve had a couple repeat offenders but they were just not right for the job they were assigned.” Globally, the top 10 excuses for adults are: My kids are sick, migraines, I have a doctor appointment, traffic problems, I’m working from home, death in the family, I’m too tired, it was a late night, I have a personal emergency, I’m sick, and allergies. Not all excuses work in all areas, for example in Monona, IA, one can’t really get stuck in a traffic jam or fake a death in the family. In such a small, tight-knit community, word travels quickly and these “fake” excuses would surely catch up with the liar. Let’s teach our students and others around us that it is not cool to make excuses, that they should just tell the truth. In addition, procrastination is not key, just do your work right away and not wait, it will make everyone’s life a little easier!

Watch out for deer

Caleb Ziegler

Media Class Journalist It’s that time of the year again, the deer are in rut and running all over. All drivers must take precautions and constantly scan the roads while driving during the dawn or dusk hours. Some hotspots

in this area would be B45, HWY18, and several gravel roads. Driving a little slower than normal is a way to prevent hitting a deer and damaging your car or getting hurt. Another great way to prevent hitting a deer would be not getting distracted, stay off your phone, and just simply keep your eyes on the look out for deer.

A tattoo is an artistic design on a part of someone’s body and it’s made by inserting pigment into punctures in the skin made by a needle in a small gun-like tool that moves rapidly. Anyone eighteen years old or older can get a tattoo and depending on the state laws, possibly younger with parental consent such as in Minnesota. If someone is sixteen and really wants a tattoo, they can get one if their parent gives the artist permission and it is also the artist’s choice. Some artists may have their own preference on how young of clients they will work on. Anybody can get a tattoo in any tattoo parlor. People can get a tattoo anywhere on their body. Some tattoo artist will only tattoo a number of areas because the more tedious the area the more dangerous it can get if for some reason the needle goes too deep. If the needle goes too deep the ink can spread into the neighboring tissue causing a blurry halo that gives the lines of the tattoo a foggy look around the main lines which is called a blowout. At any time a tattoo parlor is open someone can set up an appointment and give the tattoo artist a design. If the person is not sure about what they would want the artist can help them and draw things and show how that design would look on a specific part of the body. If someone gets a tattoo they must take care of it for a while so it doesn’t get infected. These are some steps to follow: leave the covering on for 2-6 hours after the tattoo is finished, gently pull off the bandage, and gently wash the tattoo with unscented liquid antibacterial soap. Dab the tattoo dry with a

Here at MFL MarMac there is a fruit bowl in the learning commons of the High School that consists of apples, and bananas which are available for any high school student who would like to have a piece of fruit in the morning or middle of the day. The students and a few of the teachers might be wondering why the fruit bowl has been empty for such a long time and is the fruit bowl done for the year, will it be coming back, or what is going on? Well, since the students do not have to pay for the fruit themselves, it has to come from somewhere right? Correct, Quillin’s was the last place as of right now that was donating the fruit to the school. Quillin’s said that they would let MFL MarMac have the fruit for free for six weeks to see how it would go, and last week was the last week of the trial run. When the fruit bowl was being stocked there were approximately sixty-four pieces of fruit each day put into the bowl, and MFL MarMac has two hundred and seven students in the high school now, which means that with only sixty-four pieces of fruit put out only a little over twenty-five percent of the high school students were able to get a piece of fruit each day. Some of the students were wondering why there were not enough pieces of fruit put out in the mornings for each and every high school student to have, and this will tell you why. If the high school started paying for the fruit bowl, the average cost of fruit is twenty-four cents, meaning that the school was spending approximately fifteen dollars on fruit daily, seventy-six dollars on fruit weekly, and three hundred thirty dollars on fruit monthly. Say the price of fruit stays at this same price, even though the fruit may cost more now that winter is coming and apples are not in season. At the price of twenty-four cents for each piece of fruit, if the school provided

light, soft towel. Apply a nonscented, water-based anti-bacterial ointment to the tattoo when the surface is dry. Continue to clean and moisturize the tattoo about twice a day until the scab is gone. Many people have tattoos for various reasons. Some people want one because they think they are neat or fashionable. There are a lot of people that get tattoos in memory of a family member or a friend that had passed away. Others choose a design to commemorate the birth of a child by getting the date of birth and maybe their foot print or hand print tattooed to a part of their body. Military men and women will also get their military branch tattooed on their body in honor of their service. Employees have various opinions about visible tattoos. Depending on the company, most places would ask that you cover the tattoo to look more professional. At MFL MarMac Principal Mr. Meyer says, “tattoos don’t show how someone works. I would ask that if the tattoo is gaudy or inappropriate to please cover it while at school, but small is okay and if it has a good meaning such as representing a military branch.” At the local Kwik Star in Monona, Iowa, employees are asked to cover their tattoos to look more professional. Overall, tattoos are acceptable and people enjoy having this freedom of expression.

a piece of fruit to all two hundred and seven students each day, the fruit bowl program would cost forty-nine dollars per day, two hundred and forty-eight dollars a week, and one thousand seventy dollars a month. With this being said, it is very unlikely that the school would be able to fund each high school student with a piece of fruit each day. What would help the fruit bowl program significantly is that if a few students could help fundraise (collect sponsorships, and donations) from around town so that the school is able to come up with enough funding to get the program up and running again. Businesses would rather see the students come and ask for donations rather than the school committee because that would show that the students like this program and hope that it gets back up and running again. The goal would be to fund around three hundred and fifty dollars so that the school could supply at least sixty-four pieces of fruit to the high school daily. If students enjoy the fruit bowl program and would like to see it continue a few students are needed who are willing to be a part of a committee to make this happen. In addition to asking for funding, the group would also be responsible for sending thank you’s and helping with distributing the fruit daily. Students interested in being a part of this committee should let Brandi Crozier know by emailing: brandi.crozier@ mflmm.k12.ia.us.

Outlook Editor Boys Basketball: The MFL MarMac Bulldogs Boys team is getting ready to start the new season with “expectations” being “pretty high,” according to Coach Eric Dettbarn. Last year the Bulldogs were the Upper Iowa Conference Champions. The team finished with 16 wins and only seven losses last year. The team has nine seniors including all five starters from last year that are returning to the lineup. The starting five include three first team All-Conference players, one second-team All-Conference and an honorable Conference mention. “We have a lot of experience coming back,” Dettbarn said. There has only been a week of practice, but the team is looking good. “The kids are pretty excited,” Dettbarn said. “They come with a lot of energy in to practice.” The team’s first official game will be against Prairie Du Chien at the MFL MarMac High School gym on Nov. 28.

Girls Basketball The MFL MarMac Girls Basketball team has begun their preseason practice. The team finished 10-10 last year, but Coach Ashley Sickles is going to change things up. “We are getting ready for the season,” Sickles said. “(We’re) hoping to throw some different things at other teams this year.” Although the team was not ranked high in the preseason, that is fine with Sickles and the team. “We’re okay with that,” Sickles said. “We are, hopefully, going to come out and show some teams that we are a lot better than our rankings were.” The team has been practicing well, even though there has only been one week of practice. There is a new strategy being implemented

with and it “seems to be going really well.” Sickles mentioned that the team was practicing “really hard” and had “good team chemistry.” Besides practice going well, the key is “coming out everyday, strong” and “fine tuning” the things that need worked on the most. The returning players and seniors are expected to “step-up in their role” to help the younger players. Even some of the younger players are going to “step-up and help us out.” The expectation for the year is to “make an impact in the conference,” and to show that the team has “been working really, really hard.” The first game will be against North Fayette Valley in the MFL High School gym on Nov. 29.

Bulldog wrestling is back! Eighteen year head wrestling coach Chet Bachman is looking forward to getting the season underway to build on last year’s successful season. His Bulldogs from one year ago amassed a 22-2 dual record and were first in the Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) and finished second in the sectional meet. Team strengths Bachman said include several returning letter winners with a mix of experienced freshmen and JV wrestlers with experience as well. The upper weights, he noted, are a bit of a concern in the lineup. He added, “We should be a good tournament team.” The Bulldogs return one state qualifier from one year ago in Michael Egan, sophomore. A 126 pound wrestler, Egan was 39-13

sophomore, his season recored last year was 45-7; he was first at UIC, second at sectionals and third at the district competition. According to their coach the team also has many promising newcomers. They include: 106: Ethan Stubbs, freshman, who has AAU experience 126-132, Zach Howe, freshman, experience in AAU competition. When asked about the area favorites, Bachman said, “South WInn and North Fayette Valley bring some quality kids into their lineups and should be tough as usual.” He concluded by saying, “We have been working hard with this group of kids for a long time and now they are getting to the point for us to start taking the next step forward in our program. We are excited for the season.”

Hunters donate deer meat to Food Bank of Iowa Have an extra deer at the end of the hunt? Maybe you bought an extra tag, to hunt longer? Consider donating to Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HUSH program. HUSH (Help Us Stop Hunger) works with 81 participating lockers to provide high quality meat to needy Iowans, through the Food Bank of Iowa. Field dressed deer are skinned, de-boned and ground into twopound packagesâ&#x20AC;Śthen distributed to local needy families. The program is funded by hunters, who pay a dollar surcharge with each deer tag purchase. HUSH has provided meat from 66,300 deer to those who need itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly 3,400 last year. Processors receive $75 for their end of the work. The Food Bank of Iowa picks up $5, as it oversees distribution. Each locker will accept whole deer, asking the hunter to fill out a Hunter HUSH card. There is no fee paid at the locker. A list of participating lockers is available in the Iowa Hunting Regulations and online at www.iowahush.com.

Antique Spotlight: X-1 airplane

Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor If anyone looks up in the sky during a clear day, they can see contrails and jet airplanes that fly so high they are barely distinguishable. This technology is barely a decade old and yet thousands of flights circumvent the globe every day. The dreams of human flight have been around long before the Wright Brothers even thought of creating an aircraft. Dating back to the Ancient Greeks, the thought of flight has led humans to try crazy attempts. There were stories about men strapping wings to themselves and jumping off of high places. The most famous is Icarus, which, legend states, did fly but got too close to the sun and his wings melted. The first recorded attempt at flight was a Muslim mathematician named Abbas Ibn Firnas in the mid 800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, who, simply by observing nature, created wings out of silk. It was said that he climbed to the top of a hill and jumped off. He did not fly, but the wings slowed his fall enough that he was not killed or hurt to a serious degree. As time went on, many other inventors would try their hand at flying or creating machines to fly. A famous example is Leonardo de Vinci and his attempt at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;helicopter.â&#x20AC;? In his drawings he showcased that it might be possible to take off vertically, which was hundreds of years ahead of the thinking at the time. Powered flight was not achievable until technology created something to propel a flying machine. There were hot air balloons, but they were at the mercy of the wind. Also, it took a long time before the science could explain how flight might be possible.

Sir George Cayley, in 1804, built a model that resembled something of a modern glider. Cayley is considered one of the first scientists to understand the actual concept of lift and wings. He was able to understand the concept of lift and thrust. However, no one had really flown. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 1903 when the famous Wright Brothers used a plane to fly. Orville Wright was the first man to fly on powered airplane that flew for 12 seconds in Kitty Hawk, NC. Other planes had been built in the past, but without the combustion engine, any sort of sustained flight would be impossible. The Wright Brothers launched an era of invention and exploration that was only dreamed of in centuries past. The art of flight was perfected in a short amount of time and soon powered flights were becoming the norm. It took just over a decade since the Wright Brothers flight for planes to be used as a weapon during World War I. During World War II, the Nazis invented jet propulsion and that was the beginning of a new way to travel. After the war, captured Nazi technology helped propel the United States to the forefront of jetpowered airplanes. Jets changed air travel, being as they could fly higher and faster than propeller-powered planes. Like all technology, there were a few who wanted to test the limits of jet power. Chuck Yeager, a fighter pilot during WW II, was chosen to test out the X-1. The X-1, like the model shown here, was an experimental aircraft that was based off the designs of a British aircraft from 1942. The purpose for the aircraft was to break the sound barrier with a man made machine. The shape for the craft was designed to be the shape of a bullet, since bullets could break the sound barrier with ease. The jet had four small engines that could produce about 6000 pounds of thrust.

On Oct. 14, 1947, Yeager climbed in the bright orange craft and was able to achieve 700 miles per hour, after it was dropped from a B-29 Superfortress . That was just enough to for him to break through the sound barrier. Yeager was the first man to go over Mach 1 and the X-1 was the first aircraft to do it. Yeager decided to name the aircraft Glamorous Glennis, after his wife since the real name of the aircraft was just a serial number. After the plane broke the sound barrier, the engines ran out of fuel and Yeager had to glide to a dry lakebed below. Although a momentous occasion had occurred on U.S. soil, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until June 1948 when the U.S. Air Force announced what Yeager and the X-1 had done. The X-1 changed the face of aviation forever. The test showed what was capable of jet propulsion. Most importantly, it set an example for how test should be done in the future. The X-1 test set the standard for all testing that would be done in the future by the Air Force and by NASA. Although no jetliner goes supersonic, discounting the Concord jet, the technical information from the X-1 helped with military aircraft for years to come. Also, thanks to the method of testing, aircraft research would be done in a safe and timely manner. The X-1 experiments paved the way for future testing to minimize as much danger as possible and it to get as much research out of flight data as possible. The data gathered help change the way people have traveled for decades, even though human flight has only been around for a century. Sources: Airandspace.si.edu, Nasa.gov, History.com, Wikipedia.org
