Coffee House attendees learn about Clayton County Conservation Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor Jenna Pollock, discussed the past, present and future plans for the Osborne Conservation Center during the Coffee House presentation at the Murphy-Helwig Library on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2016. Pollock, the executive director of the Clayton County Conservation Board, started her talk with how many people had visited the Osborne Center since November. Out of the 5500 visitors many came from outside of Clayton County. There were 68 different counties in Iowa represented, along with 37 states represented and 17 foreign countries. Pollock went on to break down how funding was received and where it went to throughout the County. According to her, there are two naturalists that go around and visit local schools everyday. The naturalist visit anywhere from two to five schools a day. The education services offered to the public this year had about 600 people attend. Of those, 77 percent were youth, which works well being as the focus is on children. Some of the highlights given about Clayton County by Pollock were that there was 929 hours of volunteer work, most being done during Heritage Days. The organization has made $10,000 for the county and had received about $58,000 in grant money, which

reduces cost on the county. There were about 1500 campers that stayed an average of two nights among the six campgrounds all over the county, which is down this year due to all the flooding. The plans for the future of Clayton County include documenting and tracking all the trails throughout the county. Currently, seven communities have agreed to work with the conservation board to monitor and maintain the trails. There is a 20 to 50 year plan that will hopefully work out so that it will “reflect the values of Clayton County,” according to Pollock. There has been a recent renovation in the Osborne Welcoming Center, including replacing carpet that had been in the building since 1988, when the center was first built. There is a plan to slowly update the Center over the years, as some aspects have not been updated since it was built. Some of the exhibits were 30 years old and need to meet more modern standards. There is even a plan to update the basement with an estimated cost of $500,000. There were a few questions asked by the group, including one about the possibility of finishing the third floor of the Osborne Center and turning it into a sort of library. Pollock said that may be in the future plans, but nothing for certain has been planned.

Santa Claus stops by at FreedomBank to greet children

Santa Claus holds five month old Tate Koehn of Monona at FreedomBank on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2016. The Santa in the photo has been doing his “job” since the mid 1980’s, right out of high school. He is a local and wished to remain anonymous. He mentioned that very few people know who he actually is and even his own children did not find out later in their lives.

City of Monona prepares for Dollar General Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor The Monona City Council voted to approve the selling of the commercial parcel for $20,000 on Monday, Dec. 5, 2016. The Council learned that the counter offer of $20,000 was accepted and then agreed to sell the small piece of land located just off U.S. Highway 18 to the Overland Group. The land that was purchased is about seven-tenths of an acre total and meant to prevent any building from going up and blocking the view of the potential placement of a Dollar General store. The land that the Overland Group plans to buy for the store is still in question. The Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) Grant was discussed again. Currently, the REAP grant has been applied for three times for the City park,

however the application has not made it past the initial vetting phase. There was discussion about applying the grant to Gateway Park, where the city might have a better chance at receiving the grant. The plan would be to create a trail for the Butterfly Trail to Gateway. In the past, the City has missed out on the grant by roughly three points, which indicates how competitive the grant is. Over the past 25 years over $300 million has been granted all over Iowa to improve natural resources, parks and conservation thanks to the grant the City wants. The City wants to ask for $75,000 from the grant. There was an update about the ongoing sewer project. A new target date was set for finishing on Jan. 24. The Department of Natural Resources has been informed of the new target date, but it is unlikely that any action against the City will

be taken. The Bulldog Boulevard project had turned out to cost less that what was expected. The building crew was able to find an existing drainage system that could be used. The usage of said drain has saved the City $12,000. The City has received $1000 from local companies that would go towards the hotel study. The City is planning to ask Alliant Energy for another $500, which would cover the $1500 cost of the first phase of the study. If the first phase shows promise, then phase two would commence and that would cost an additional $1500. The Monona Police Department has requested additional new equipment. There were two radios and one printer for a police vehicle that was approved to be purchased. The radios cost $608 each and the printer cost $249.

Obituary

1932-2016 Marilyn Jean (Engelhardt) Meadows Marilyn Jean (Engelhardt) Meadows died peacefully on Thanksgiving Day with her husband of nearly 58 years, Martin Meadows, at her side, as he had been constantly since her stroke in January 2011. She persevered through those painful post-stroke years and never lost her feisty spirit, sharp wit or will to live. Marilyn was born on July 24, 1932, in Monona, to Maury and Frances (Henderson) Engelhardt; she was the second of six loving siblings. After graduating from Monona High School, class of 1950, Marilyn attended Upper Iowa University and earned a teaching certificate. Marilyn taught elementary school in Iowa before heading in the summer of 1956 to the University of Oregon with several teacher friends to take additional courses. She met Martin that summer at the university, and stayed on to teach elementary school in Springfield, Oregon. Marilyn and Martin got married on February 6, 1959, as Martin pursued a PhD in political science and Marilyn finished her Bachelor’s degree in education, both from the University of Maryland. Their daughters, Sally and Rebecca, were born and grew up in Maryland. Martin became a political science professor at American University in Washington, D.C. and although Maryland was home base, Marilyn and family had the opportunity through Martin’s Fulbright grants to live and travel abroad. In 1964-65, the family lived in Manila, Philippines and visited Hong Kong, Southeast and South Asia, the Middle East and Europe. In 1968-69, Marilyn and family lived in Sierra Leone, West

Africa, and traveled through much of Africa and Asia. In 1975-76, the family lived in Dundee, Scotland, and explored the UK as well as some of mainland Europe. As a result of her world travels, Marilyn loved meeting people from all cultures and backgrounds and reminisced fondly throughout her life about all the wonderful places she had been fortunate to see. Marilyn and Martin also spent time every winter with Martin’s parents at their condo in Boca Raton, Florida. They enjoyed being “snowbirds” and escaping to balmy Florida during the winter, where they played many a game of tennis. Marilyn loved to walk and talk, play bridge and tennis, lunch and shop with friends, do crossword puzzles, and accumulate collectibles, such as decorative boxes, perfume bottles, fancy handheld fans, demitasse cups, vintage purses, stamps and coins. In accordance with Marilyn’s wishes, she was cremated and we have created an online memorial (www.forevermissed.com/marilynmeadows) so that family and friends have a chance to participate in celebrating her life. Preceding Marilyn in death were her parents, and her sister, Shirley Engel. She is survived by her husband, Dr. Martin Meadows; her daughters, Sally (Ian Massey) Meadows, of Los Altos, California; and Rebecca (Thomas) Spaur, of Barboursville, Virginia; five grandchildren: Jacob and Rachel Grate, of San Francisco, California; Kara and Paul Patch, of Barboursville, Virginia; and Demi Patch, of Atlanta, Georgia; two great-grandchildren: Anna and Ethan Riggs; two sisters, Norma (LaVerne) Landt, of Monona; and Mary (Gary) Chappell, of McGregor; two brothers, Daryl (Rita) Engelhardt, of Sun City West, Arizona; and David Engelhardt, of Monona. Donations, in lieu of flowers or cards, can be made in Marilyn’s memory at the link donate. peacecorps.gov/donate/fund/letgirls-learn/. The Peace Corps’ Let Girls Learn initiative addresses issues Marilyn cared about as a former teacher, a mother of two girls, and a citizen of the world. Donations should indicate that they are in memory of Marilyn Engelhardt Meadows.

Pearl Harbor and the unseen toll Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor It was 75 years ago when, on a lovely December Sunday morning, sailors and naval personal were waking up and getting ready for their day. They were enjoying the balmy 73 degree Fahrenheit morning. At a radar post, a couple of soldiers noticed something a bit odd. There was a large swarm coming in from the north. When reported, their commander told them it was just a group of B-16 bombers, and they should not worry about it. The men at the military bases were getting dressed or eating when the first wave of Japanese warplanes swooped down and begun their attack on the unsuspecting men and women. The attack only lasted for two hours, but the damage and impact would be felt to this very day. The Empire of Japan had declared war on the United States just before the attack, but the communication never reached the right people and it is up for debate whether it would have mattered. The next day President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared war on Japan and, save one vote, all of congress agreed that war had come to America and that it was time to act. What followed was four years of non-stop fighting for American soldiers in foreign lands. Although American servicemen were fighting Nazi Germany and Japan, the threat was still the same; global domination by powers that were acting out of evil intentions. World War II was a war that brought death and destruction to millions of people and homes. While most people instantly think of the American service men or the millions of Jews that were slaughtered, many people overlook groups that were also affected by the war. The first and foremost is the soldiers of the opposing nations. Now, I am not defending what the

Nolan Porter Nazi SS soldiers did or anyone who worked at concentration camps. I am talking about the ones who got drafted and were forced to serve. There is a story of a Korean soldier who fought with the Japanese, was captured by the Soviets, and then fought with them. He was then captured by the Germans and was conscripted. Finally, he was brought to the Western front and was finally captured by American troops. He is one of a few stories where men were forced to serve. Towards the end of the war, old men and children were told to take up arms against an enemy that was attacking their homeland. Not all German soldiers were Nazis; they just wanted to protect their homes. A lot were brainwashed by Adolf Hitler and his propaganda campaign, but they were still humans fighting other humans. They were scared and frightened just like American, British and French troops. War is a terrible thing to see and I am so thankful that others have sacrificed so much so that I don’t have to. Another group is a part of a dark chapter in American history; the Japanese Americans that were forced in concentration camps. Racial tensions were running high after the Pearl Harbor attack and many people started to push for some sort of containment for Japanese-American citizens. The U.S. government even knew that they were no threat to national security, but due to public pressure President Roosevelt signed order 9066. In early 1944, the American citizens that were detained based on

race were allowed to return home. However, their homes were gone or wrecked and all they were given was $20 to try and rebuild their lives. These feelings still run deep and it is a past that many would like to ignore. Finally, the civilians that lost there lives and homes due to the war. For American, it started on Dec. 7, when 68 lost their lives. For America, there were very few civilian compared to other countries. The U.S. lost roughly 12,000 civilians and most were on transport ships in enemy territory. Other nations were not so fortunate, such as Japan or Russia. Japan lost anywhere from 550,000 to 800,000. Some of those were a result of the U.S. bombing the Japanese mainland. Russia lost an estimated 6 to 7 million due to Nazi aggression and their own government. It is important to remember war is not just between soldiers and armies. Many times innocent people are caught in the middle and are not able to avoid crossfire. All of that was in the past but is still very important. The reason we study the past and history so closely is to learn from our mistakes as a species. What was learned from the war was that even people, who are on the wrong side, were still human. Those men and women lost more than just their homes or families. Many men claim that they were just following orders, and they were right. There was a Japanese pilot that returned to Pearl Harbor many years later. He was at the memorial when he met an American solider was also at Pearl Harbor. The Japanese flyer apologized and they both found a common ground. It is important to understand the scale of a war, but it is also important to look at things on the smallest scale possible, which is human life. How does war affect humans, no matter what race, ideology and role in the war? These are ever changing questions that will have no proper answer. If we, as humans, remembered what the cost would be, then maybe there would be no wars and maybe America would not have been thrust

As stated in this space before, I dreamt of a career as a movie director. Despite having learned to call them films instead of movies, I never had the ambition to get a start in that direction. It was the art, not the business that interested me. The art still fascinates me, and Dawn and I watch a lot of movies. We get them through a Netflix DVD plan. The streaming plan is too limited in selection for a movie nut like me. Like any good enthusiast, I’d like to share some movies we’ve enjoyed so you folks can have something to do while escaping the cold weather. Two dimensional war makes more sense than the real thing so I really enjoy a good war movie. And if it is a little deeper than good guy versus bad guy and death and destruction, Dawn and I can enjoy war together. “Winter in Wartime” (2008, R for language) is about a teenage boy in Holland who aids an RAF pilot shot down in WWII. Occupied Europe was a place where it was hard to tell collaborators from friends. One is safe during the occupation but vulnerable when the invaders are defeated. It is Dutch with English subtitles, so nineteen percent of high school graduates should skip this one. But if you can read, don’t let the subtitles deter you. Europeans naturally have a more nuanced view of war and we should pay attention. When our son Karl was born, I called my dad and said we named him after The Marx Brothers. “Winter in Wartime” was as serious and thought provoking as this next one is hilarious. Diversity has become an end in itself and this list won’t need to move on after this next movie. The Marx Brothers’ “A Night at the Opera” (1935) didn’t need a rating. The Marx Brothers didn’t need to compensate for a lack of imagination with foul language, sex, or violence. If you don’t laugh all the way through this one, the coroner is on his way. The country was a third of the way through FDR’s Great Depression and needed this medicine badly. Another great movie from the Depression era is “Tarzan and

his Mate” (1934). This one is not rated. It is partially responsible for the advent of movie ratings, however. The violence is shocking and the partial nudity is artful and beautiful. The violence part is where I would advise parents to be careful with young children. The technology is ancient and amazing for its day. The story is timeless and captivating. Sensitive university students and professors better steer clear. When I was a little kid I lived within a good bike ride of Will Rogers State Park. We used to ride up there and watch the millionaires play polo. This next movie is “Judge Priest” (1934, not rated) who is played by Will Rogers. You better see this one quick. The movie is extremely politically incorrect, full of cliches and reserved for those who have a sense of humor. The music is fantastic; the plot complex. The tendency of our society toward being easily offended has poisoned us with cultural handcuffs. Get together with a diverse group and set yourselves free. Dawn spends a lot of time bringing joy to nursing home residents so this next one was particularly dear to us. Be warned, more subtitles. This is a Swedish movie with seven languages. “The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared” (2015 R, some violence) is an adventure that is just fun. Allan doesn’t much like sitting in the nursing home so he leaves. The staff brings in his cake with 100 candles and found him gone. There’s even some computer generated content for the younger set. I hope these films (see, I’ve become an elitist) help pass the cold nights a little faster as we head toward spring. Please comment on these columns through a letter to the editor or directly to me at 4selfgovernment@gmail.com. Between columns I share other “diverse” content on my blog: www. alternativebyfritz.com.

Legal Notice November 28, 2016 Meeting of the Clayton County Board of Supervisors at their office, 600 Gunder Road, Elkader, Iowa Present: Gary Bowden, Larry Gibbs, and Ron McCartney Guests: Eli Garms, Ray Peterson, Bill Burke, Pat McTaggart, Jenna Pollock, Roger Breitsprecher, Diane Breitsprecher, Waldeen Taake, Brian Breitsprecher, Julie Doeppke, Brian Doeppke, Tom Stoffel, Sherri Stoffel, Pat Belden, Russ Belden, Mark Niehaus, Carol Kruse, Troy Kruse, Keith Campbell, Charles Kelly, Rafe Koopman, Alan Heavens, John Danos (by phone), Amy Bjork (by phone) Joining by phone, Dorsey & Whitney, LLP attorneys John Danos and Amy Bjork, were available for questions regarding the proposed Burke Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. Bill Burke was on hand to talk about his request to make a new TIF district. There was discussion pertaining to: continuation of the previous TIF versus new TIF, length of TIF, extension possibilities, determining eligibility of parcels for inclusion, low and moderate income (LMI), and documentation on previous TIF revenue generation, infrastructure detail, and cash flow projections. No agreement will be made at this time and further discussion on the topic will need to take place once documentation is provided. Bowden moved to approve the minutes from the November 21, 2016, meeting. Gibbs seconded. Ayes: Bowden, Gibbs, McCartney. Motion carried. Board Chair McCartney opened a public hearing relative to the disposal of county held real estate adjoining Block 6 in Clayton Center, Iowa. County Engineer Rafe Koopman stated he was approached by Keith Campbell to try and clear up his lot lines and obtain ownership of the alley and the north side of Main St. The

property has been surveyed and marked. Keith Campbell expressed that he would be interested in acquiring the county held real estate adjoining his property. The completed survey has not been obtained. Brian and Julie Doeppke, along with their attorney Charles Kelly, commented on their property (triangular portion of block) and the possible scenario of the boundary line location if portions were vacated. County Attorney Alan Heavens said that the county is looking to vacate and deed the property in a clear way with present day language. Phone calls and written comments for consideration on the topic were received by the Board but were not submitted into the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. The Board stated that adjacent landowners seem fine with stating the alley is not disputed and the area of Main St in question can have boundary extended to the centerline and have the adjacent owners to obtain property. The county is looking to obtain the survey and review legal descriptions before proceeding with a potential sale and vacation which may require another resolution and public hearing to complete. No action was taken by Board on the disposal of county held real estate adjoining Block 6 in Clayton Center, Iowa. Other residents expressed their interests regarding areas within Clayton Center and possible vacation. The Board stated that they are looking only to dispose of undisputed property including alleys and unutilized roadways when approached. Residents looking to pursue obtaining property should start by talking with County Engineer Rafe Koopman. Conservation Director Jenna Pollock met with the Board to discuss personnel changes. Attest:
