The Lost Art of Creek
Stomping Saturday,
August 29 at 10 AM
Three area women, all of whom
are avid bicyclists, decided to take
their love of biking and exercising
to a whole new level this summer.
Tracey Tepesch, Linda Wilder and
Rose Heins logged the miles they
rode during the month of June as
they participated in the Great Cycle
Challenge to raise money to Fight
Kids’ Cancer through the Children’s
Cancer Research Fund.
Tepesch, who saw information
about the challenge on Facebook,
thought it would be a wonderful
way to raise awareness while doing
something she enjoyed. Although
the women competed individually,
they had the option of forming a
team. She explained, “We each set
our own personal riding goals as
we helped in the fight against kids’
cancer.”
She went on, “We pledged to ride
a certain number of miles while
raising money for childrens’ cancer
research.”
With Tepesch, Heins and Wilder
the only participants in Northeast
Iowa, they were three of 217 people
from Iowa who took part in the
challenge. Tracey explained, “When
I saw the information on Facebook,
I contacted Rose and Linda as I
knew they enjoyed biking as much
as I do.”
Tepesch explained that she
wanted to take the challenge for
her dad who had taught her to bike
when she was a child. Heins noted
that her dad, too, was instrumental
in getting her started as a cyclist.
Heins said, “My dad helped me
buy my first ten-speed so I could
bike back and forth to work when I
was in ninth grade,”
While Tepesch and Wilder live
in Waukon, Heins lives in rural
Postville. Although Tepesch and
Wilder rode together occasionally,
Great Cycle Challenge
(Left to right) Linda Wilder, Rose Heins and Tracey Tepesch recently
completed the Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds for Chidren's Cancer
Research. They were among 217 people from Iowa who participated in
the event. Tepesch was the top fundraiser in the state of Iowa.
most of the biking was done
independently. Heins said, “Due to
my work schedule, and that of my
husband, I did a lot of my riding on
the stationery bike in our home. I
did do some riding on the Old Stage
Road.”
No matter where they rode, the
women kept a log of their miles.
The women agreed that for a
time the riding consumed their
lives. Wilder, who also has been
biking for over 40 years, said,
“The riding became an obsession
with me. We could go wherever
we wanted to and I really enjoyed
riding the bike trail in Decorah.”
Tracey chimed in, “We really
need a bike trail in Waukon. The
streets are not the easiest to ride on.

Faith Lutheran Church in
Monona, Iowa joined forces with
Thrivent Financial to complete a
back to school backpack project last
week. Members of Faith Lutheran
made donations of school supplies
and school bags so that children
in need are able to start the school
year with the needed supplies.
These donations were supplemented
by a $250 grant from Thrivent
Financial through their Thrivent
Action Team program. Clayton
county's Thrivent also provided
another $100 grant toward this
project.

Father-son duo investing in conservation stewardship

Father-son farming duo Larry
and Mark Lamborn are reinvesting
payments earned through USDA’s
Conservation Stewardship
Program (CSP) to add additional
conservation practices on their land,
including 3,300 feet of terraces and
improving yields.
The Lamborns grow corn,
soybeans, hay and oats on about
1,000 acres in Allamakee and
Clayton Counties in northeast Iowa.
They also stay busy milking as
many as 220 cows twice daily in
their dairy cow operation.
As part of the 2014 Farm
Bill, CSP provides financial and
technical assistance to eligible
producers to conserve and enhance
natural resources, such as soil,
water, and wildlife, on their land.
If selected, farmers with CSP
contracts implement additional
conservation activities on their
farm along with maintaining and
improving existing conservation
systems.
CSP pays participants for
conservation performance –
the higher the environmental
performance, the higher the
payment. The Lamborns received an
annual payment for implementing
conservation enhancements
on cropland and some pasture.
Activities included adding cover
crop mixes to cropland, solar
powered pumps to the livestock
watering system, a wildlife escape
to the watering facility, and plant
tissue testing and analysis to
improve nitrogen management in
crops.
“From a conservation
perspective, they are doing
everything right,” says LuAnn
Rolling, district conservationist
for USDA’s Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) in
Allamakee County. “They have a
lot of hay in the crop rotation, they
farm everything on the contour, and
they no-till a lot of their cropland.”
The Lamborns have one

particular farm north of Monona
that, due to poor soil conditions, has
caused them problems for years.
Mark says the silt loam soils on that
farm wash easily. The farm operator
prior to the Lamborns built his own
small “push-up” terraces to help
reduce erosion. With no tile intakes
to filter out sediment and carry
water to a stable outlet, Mark says
those terraces blew out often during
heavy rains, and funneled rainwater
to a single location. “All of the
topsoil was in the terraces,” he said.
“It was a mess.”
Due to dryer than normal
weather, the Lamborn’s new terrace
project took three years to complete.
NRCS designed the terrace
system and helped the Lamborns
finance the project through the
Environmental Quality Incentives
Program (EQIP). About 3,300 feet
of narrow base terraces now protect
that field.
“We reinvested much of our CSP
payment into those terraces north of
Monona,” said Mark.
The investment has paid off
for the Lamborns. Mark says the
no-till-terrace combination is
improving average corn yields on
that farm by more than 50 bushels
per acres.
The Lamborns have also
invested conservation into their
dairy system. They have installed
a manure settling basin, a slotted
floor manure storage structure, and
a circular manure storage structure
to safely hold manure until it is
applied to cropland. They have also
installed watering systems, fences,
and other necessities for a rotational
grazing system.
Currently, Mark is working with
NRCS to complete the design of a
new 15,000 square foot monoslope
building on his property that will
store manure from his dairy herd,
allowing him to more efficiently
utilize the nutrients from manure on
crop fields.
When Rolling visits the
Lamborns, she says it is easy to
see they are conscientious farmers.
“They keep their grassed waterways
in good shape, their grass headlands
(field borders) are maintained, and
they handle manure from the dairy
operation with great care,” she said.

Codification, Inc.
Clayton County received a
federal grant to cover cost of
writing an update for existing
Countywide Hazard Mitigation
Plan. A current Hazard Mitigation
Plan is required by FEMA in order

Commission of East Central
Intergovernmental Association will
be writing the plan update as well
as holding countywide meetings.
A planning process meeting for
Monona and Luana will be held
Tuesday, August 25th at 5:30 P.M.
in the Monona Community Center.
Agenda includes: a) FEMA plan
requirements, b) Discuss mitigation
goals and activities set in current
plan, c) Ranking hazards for
northeast Iowa and determine any
changes if needed, d) Talk about
any new concerns and mitigation for
2016-2021.
A project initiation meeting via
telephone conference regarding
Bulldog Boulevard Permeable
Paver Project was held Thursday,
July 30th. Iowa DNR specialist
Mario Fenu, City Engineer Jon
Biederman of Fehr Graham, Tracy
Scebold of Iowa Finance Authority,
Tiffany Wilson Lillard representing
Iowa DNR/State Revolving Fund
and city representatives including
Dan Havlicek, Bill Benda and Dan
Canton discussed preliminary
design. DNR representatives
liked the project concept and
had no concerns. Jon Biederman
will complete preparation
of construction plans and
specifications this fall with a bid
letting anticipated for January 2016.
It was acknowledged that the north
105’of Bulldog Blvd where it meets
Davis St. would be constructed of
concrete and was not eligible for
funding. It was also confirmed that
the city can use a regular snow plow
to move snow off the pavers. Some
salt, but no sand should be applied
to the paver surface during winter
months.
It was explained that funding
for the project is tied to the final
Phase II Sanitary Sewer Loan
amount. Timing of the construction
work for Phase II also determines
when the first principal payment
is due on the loan. If ‘substantial’
completion of Phase II work occurs
before June 2016, the first principal
loan payment would be due June
1, 2016. If substantial completion
occurs in July or August of 2016,
the first principal payment would
be due June 1, 2017. If it appears
substantial completion would take
place in May of 2016, the city
council would need to adopt a
resolution prepared by bond counsel
by June 1, 2016 amending Phase
II Sewer Loan amount to include
the Bulldog Blvd funding. It was
explained that construction of
permeable pavers could take place
any time during the year, although
it would be best to initiate the
project in mid-August after the pool
closes for the season. Timing of
the Phase II Sanitary Sewer Project
and substantial completion date
will be determined prior to project
bid letting as part of construction
contract.
City Engineer Marc Ruden
indicated that IIW is currently
working with Midwest
Geographical Services to import
Aerial photography and other layers
provided by Clayton County into
a Geographic Information System
base model. Marc would also
provide Midwest Geographical
with all data acquired from IIW’s
survey and manhole inspection
crew so that the base model would
then be fully populated. When
IIW has completed submission
of all required data to Midwest
Geographical in early August, it
will be about a sixty day turnaround
to have a working GIS model ready
for the city of Monona.
Marsha Cory of SimmeringCory, Inc. indicated by email
July 30th that conditional status
of CDBG Grant in amount
of $500,000 for the Phase II
Sanitary Sewer Project should be
known soon. Upon final grant
confirmation, required CDBG
public notices will be published
accordingly.
The Council also received the
following Mayor/Clerk/Council notes:
It was again mentioned that City
Council election filing deadline
is Thursday, September 17, 2015
at 1:00 P.M. Paperwork can be
obtained at City Hall, although a
candidate needs to file required
documents directly to Clayton
County Auditor’s Office.
City policy for pay out of
employee sick leave benefits upon
retirement was distributed. Retired
employee Jacque Radloff qualifies
for payment of any unused and
accumulated sick leave.

The members of the Monona
City Council met for their first
meeting of the month on August
3. Notable items up for discussion
were the discussion of the upcoming
Clayton County Hazard Mitigation
Plan update meeting, the status of
the Bulldog Boulevard Permeable
Paver Project, as well as the
authorization of the submission of
the REAP Grant application for city
park improvements.
The hazard mitigation plan
update meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday, August 25 at 5:30 p.m. and
will take place at the community
center.
“In order to be eligible for any
kind of funding in case of major
disaster, FEMA requires this to be
done,” explained City Administrator
Dan Canton. “At this meeting on
the 25th there are four things.
Number one, they review the
FEMA requirements for the plan.
They discuss mitigation calls and
activities from the previous plan,
their status, etcetera. Then you rank
hazards for your region. They may
not have changed since the last
plan, but they’ve got to talk about
it, anyway. Upper Explorer Land
and East Central Intergovernmental
Association will document all this
stuff.”
Canton also provided an
update on the Bulldog Boulevard
project, explaining that a meeting
was held on Thursday, July 30 a
project initiation meeting was held.
Attending the meeting was Canton,
Councilman Dan Havlicek, Bill
Benda of the City Maintenance
Department, SRF Project Manager
Mario Fenu, SRF Finance Officer
Tracy Sebold, and Tiffany Wilson
Lillard, Project Manager at the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources.
At the meeting the submitted plan
was met with approval from all ends
and given the go-ahead to proceed.
The project would resurface the
entirety of Bulldog Boulevard,
which runs parallel to the aquatic
center between Tower Street and
West Davis Street, with permeable
pavers, approximately 24 feet wide
and 549 feet long. The road would
not be connected to the aquatic
center parking lot hydrologically
and would utilize a separate
drainage area. The final 100 feet at
the bottom of Bulldog Boulevard
would not utilize permeable pavers,
out of concern for durability and
deformation in the braking zone of
a very steep hill.
The members of the City
Council also voted to approve

since.
The unsolved murder of Julia Benning
has family members and authorities
considering new theories in her death.
Bremer County Sheriff ’s Department Detective David MacDonald
believes they may be connected.
“We do believe the possibility exists that there is still a suspect out
there somewhere, which is one of
the reasons the case remains open,”
he said.
Lisa Peak’s body was exhumed
in 2010, and other tips have been
pursued through the years. But no
charges have ever been issued in
the three cases. Authorities say the
stranglings have become urban
legend among young people in the
area.
But in the 1970s, the disappearances of young women who were
later found dead was all too common, said Susan Chehak, who authored the website and book titled
“What Happened to Paula?” about
the murder of Paula Oberbroeckling, 18, of Cedar Rapids in 1970.
She said the sexual and cultural
revolution around civil and gender
rights made it “a particularly dangerous time to be a girl of 18 or older…The rules had been removed,
but safety nets weren’t in place.”
with
his

threw them away, not yet knowing
Julia was missing.
Waverly Police Capt. Jason Leonard said he’s taken information from
the man, and police have looked
into every new lead. But there hasn’t
been any “new information” in the
past two years, he said.
Every day since she met with the
man who says he witnessed the
slaying, Kean said she’s been on a
mission. She wants to repair her
sister’s reputation and shame the
man who was in that pickup. She
is researching, drawing up theories
and tracking down the locations of
people there at the time.
“It
consumes me. For the first time in 40
years, I have a name,” she said. “To
imagine this beautiful girl, nude
and stuffed in a culvert covered in
mud and leaves, the indignity of it.
The man who did this is walking
free, and I can’t live with that.”
The family still notices one less
plate on the Thanksgiving table every year.
“I hate Thanksgiving now because that was her favorite holiday,”
JoAnn said. “She’d say, ‘I’d walk all
night to be there.’”
Left to console her is a short story Julia wrote for one of her high
school classes. In it, a dying girl told
her weeping mother on her death
bed that she was going to heaven,
“and I will be waiting for you.” The Bennings had tucked away
Julia’s lock of hair, snipped from her
so her mother could always have a
piece of her lovely daughter, and a
hair pin JoAnn found while scouring the ground one day where Julia’s
body was found. Her mother used
to suffer thinking of the act of dying
and whether Julia felt physical pain.
Now she just regrets that her daughter never got to experience life.
“I wish she could have had a
horse,” JoAnn Benning said.
Recently, the sorrow was channeled into a new lead. A man from a
nearby small town told Carol Kean
he was at the Sir Lounge the night
of the murder and named the people responsible. He said he

PARK SERVICE SNOOZES THROUGH EFFIGY MOUNDS “WAKE UP CALL”
“Lessons Learned” Report on Mass Desecration Blocked form Official Circulation
An analysis of what led to the
largest official mass desecration
of Indian pre-historic burial sites
in the annals of the National Park
Service (NPS) is being suppressed,
according to Public Employees
for Environmental Responsibility
(PEER) which today released a
document which NPS denies exists.
The Park Service has also not
disclosed what steps it is taking to
prevent recurrence of large scale
violations of historic preservation
and archaeological protection laws
by its own managers.
For more than a decade, the
superintendent and maintenance
chief at Effigy Mounds National
Monument engaged in a multimillion dollar building spree in
violation of several federal laws.
The resultant 78 projects did
serious damage to the Monument’s
irreplaceable prehistoric burial
mounds, each in the shape of
a stylized animal or symbol,
overlooking the banks of the
Mississippi River in northeast Iowa.
In a “Serious Mismanagement
Report” completed in April 2014,
a team of NPS officials reviewed
the long pattern of “gross physical
and ethical violations” in order to
distill “lessons learned” and serve
as a “wake up call” for all levels of
the Park Service. The report found
that –
NPS brass ignored reports of
mismanagement from “numerous
employees on multiple occasions,
both formally and informally” over
several years. NPS even failed to act
upon its own operations and other
evaluations which confirmed many
egregious violations;
The U.S. Attorney’s Office
declined to prosecute responsible
NPS officials because the “weak
and inappropriate initial response
by the Agency…fatally encumbered
the criminal case, creating a
threshold of doubt that [it] did not
believe could be overcome in a jury
trial”; and
The Park Service suffers from a
sort of edifice complex in which the
agency rewards perceived “progress
instead of preservation” thus
obscuring that the “protection of
these mounds is the primary reason
for the monument’s existence.”
“The National Park Service
should carefully remove every
bridge, deck and boardwalk that
was built illegally and attempt
to return the park to its intended
historic state,” said Timothy Mason
of Friends of Effigy Mounds and
a former long-time Monument
employee whose 2010 complaint
finally caused Effigy Mound’s
“reign of error” to end. “Created
65 years ago, this little park is
supposed to preserve sacred
sites, not serve as a construction
playground for clueless and criminal
federal employees.”
This report was not well-received
by NPS hierarchy, however. It was
withdrawn from official circulation
and surfaced more than a year later
through underground distribution.
In fact, last week NPS Midwest
Deputy Regional Director Patricia
Trapp went so far as to tell Mason
that:
“Simply put, there is no such
agency report. There is a team, from
outside the park and the region, that
is undertaking a review of events
occurring at the park, including
lessons learned. I am in the process
of obtaining an update of the status
of this effort, and an idea of when
the report may be finalized, and
available to you and others. Stay
tuned.”
“This entire affair through today
is a case study of a Park Service
leadership that is rotten to its core,”
stated PEER Executive Director Jeff
Ruch, pointing to a recent string of
flagrant accountability lapses by
NPS leadership. “By suppressing
this report, the Park Service both
seeks to avoid any serious selfexamination of this epic leadership
failure but also, like those who
forget the past, is doomed to repeat
it.”

Adam (our sinful nature) must be
drowned daily and our New Man (of
faith) must daily arise and live for
God. This change can only come
about through repentance: a genuine
sorrow over sin and a desire to turn
away from it, and to look to Christ
in faith for full forgiveness. That
is when we hear those wonderful
words of assurance from God:
"I will forgive their iniquity, and
their sin I will remember no more"
(Jeremiah 31:34).
Isn't that the kind of
assurance that our poor, sinful
hearts are longing to hear and hold
on to? Therefore, let us listen to the
words of our Savior! Hold on to His
promises of grace and forgiveness.
He will most certainly give us that
new heart and new spirit that we
need, for our God does not want
us to die, but to live with Him in
heaven forever!
FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
By Rev. Daniel Larson
Why would anyone
willfully walk down the path in life
that leads to his soul's destruction,
when God directs that person to go
the way that will result in eternal
life with Him? The prophet Ezekiel
asked a similar question: "Why
would you die, when you can repent
and live?" (Ezekiel 18:30-32). The
sinful nature has such a strong
hold on a person that one cannot
even imagine the grave importance
of the question. Therefore, this
is the dilemma in which we find
ourselves.
But, listen to your Lord's
gracious plea to you. He lays
before you a choice for your life:
sin and death, or His grace and
salvation. God must cringe at the
thought of anyone's eternal death
and condemnation. After all, He is
the One who created you, loves you
with an everlasting love, and who
wants nothing but the best for your
soul. He would not want anyone to
spend eternity in the realm of the
devil, that is, in hell's destruction.
Therefore, what does Ezekiel tell
you to do? Repent: turn from your
evil ways and look in faith to Christ
for your deliverance. His free
grace and pardon are waiting in
abundance for you. So, why would
you refuse His generous, free offer
of salvation? Perhaps, like so many,
you are so stubbornly entrenched
in your own sinful nature and evil
habits that you cannot see where
your rescue lies? Do you not see
that if your soul finds itself in hell's
demise, it will surely be your own
fault? On the other hand, if you
find yourself enjoying the bliss of

Call it a mental block, a lack of
inspiration, or just having exhausted
my supply of good ideas, but I
can’t think of a single thing worth
expounding upon this week. I have
entertained many notions up to this
point, but none of them seemed to
be worth my time at this juncture.
It’s really getting troubling. My
time is running thin and I can’t
come up with a single good idea.
I’ve scrounged up a number of ideas
ranging from halfway-decent to
ho-hum to good heavens, what on
earth was he thinking, but there is
just nothing in my brain that I feel
like is worthy for you folks to read.
So, if you don’t mind, is it all right
if I brainstorm a little? Maybe I’ll
just spitball some ideas for a bit and
then we can go from there. Is that
fine with everybody? It is? Good.
The first notion I entertained
was football, since the season
is just starting up, and we’ve
actually already had our first
preseason game. For anyone who
is wondering, Pittsburg lost 14-3
to that team to the north of us. I
forget what they’re called. I thought
about going on about how much of
a Packer fan I am and making some
jokes at the expense of the Detroit
Lions or the Chicago Bears, but I
just feel like I’ve done that to death
already in one way or another. I
could make some bold predictions
for the 2016-17 season, but it’s
far too soon for that. Besides, we

already know that the Packers
are going to win everything so
what’s the point of trying to seem
prophetic? In the end, I just didn’t
feel like I had anything new to say
on the subject so I passed on it.
The first Republic presidential
debate was held last Thursday
on Fox News. I thought I could
maybe use that as a springboard
toward making some political
jokes and have some fun with my
political vagueness, but I’ve done
that already, as well. It’s no secret
that on the political spectrum I am
decisively ambiguous. I’ve already
made that joke plenty of times,
and I can’t risk making any other
without tipping my hand in regard
to where I really stand politically
(You will never know, but only
because it’s irrelevant and should
never be relevant). For a moment
I thought there might be some fun
to be had here, but in the end I just
didn’t see enough there to produce
anything I’d want you to read.
School will be starting soon. I
could get some yuks out of that.
Oh, wait. I’ve done that before, too,
albeit in a past life. It surprisingly
did not end well. I’m not sure I want
to test those waters again.
Ooh, I know something really
important that everybody is just
dying to read more about: the
ongoing celebrity feud between
Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. Oh,
look at that; I’m already receiving
angry letters over that one. Point
taken. I will never mention those
two again.
Okay, now I really know I’m
scraping the bottom of the barrel,
assuming I haven’t already bored
a hole right through it. Either way
down there were my hopes and
dreams for the future and the things
I hold most dear to me. I’m sure you
guys don’t want to know any of that
stuff.
Well, shoot. I’m all out. Now all
I have left is to write about why I
have nothing to write about and I
can only hope that nobody notices
that I was just a bit lazy this week.

GREAT CYCLE
CHALLENGE
from front
Tracey said, “I actually got very
excited about the fundraising and
ended up being the top fundraiser
in Iowa; placing 125 in the nation
for individual dollars raised. The
total amount I raised was $1635
and biked 164 miles. Linda ranked
eleventh in the state with $797
raised and 485 miles biked.”
Linda and Tracey received a biking
jersey for their fundraising efforts.
When asked how the fundraising
was handled, the women explained
they each had their own webpage
where people could pledge. Donors
could either pledge by the mile or
donate a flat rate.
Heins biked a total of 301 miles
and raised $45 in donations which
ranked her 46th in the state of
Iowa. The total number of miles
biked across the United States
was 1,037,778; total dollars raised
from the Great Cycle Challenge
was $1,669,434 for Children’s
Cancer Research. The total
number of participants was 12,586.
Iowa ranked 23rd in the nation in
fundraising with a grand total of
$22,751 raised.
Asked if there was any kind of a
support system, Tepesch said, “We
were able to follow our progress
and that of others on Facebook.
I updated my progress that way
too. I also shared my progress
through emails. Linda and I would
send words of encouragement, via
Facebook posts, when we saw how
many miles the other had ridden
that particular day or when we
saw that donations were coming
in. It was comforting to know that
someone else could ‘feel the pain’
and push each other to exceed our
goals.”

10) Status Of Proposed Bulldog Blvd Permeable Paver Project
A Project Initiation Meeting Via Telephone
Conference Regarding Bulldog Boulevard
Permeable Paver Project Was Held Thursday,
July 30th. Iowa Dnr Specialist Mario Fenu,
City Engineer Jon Biederman Of Fehr Graham,
Tracy Scebold Of Iowa Finance Authority (Ifa),
Tiffany Wilson Lillard Representing Iowa Dnr/
State Revolving Fund (Srf) And City Reps
Including Dan Havlicek, Bill Benda And Dan
Canton Discussed Preliminary Design. Dnr
Reps Liked The Project Concept And Had
No Concerns. Jon Biederman Will Complete
Preparation Of Construction Plans And Specifications This Fall With A Bid Letting Anticipated
For January 2016. It Was Acknowledged That
The North 105’Of Bulldog Blvd Where It Meets
Davis St. Would Be Constructed Of Concrete
And Not Eligible For Funding. It Was Also
Confirmed That The City Can Use A Regular
Snow Plow To Move Snow Off The Pavers.
Some Salt, But No SAnd Should Be Applied To
The Paver Surface During Winter Months.
It Was Explained That Funding For The Paver
Improvements Is Tied To Final Phase Ii Sanitary Sewer Loan Amount In Conjunction With
The Srf Clean Water Resource Restoration
Sponsored Project Program. Timing Of The
Construction Work For Phase Ii Also Determines When First Principal Payment Is Due
On The Loan. If ‘Substantial’ Completion Of
Phase Ii Work Occurs Before June 2016, The
First Principal Loan Payment Would Be Due
June 1, 2016. If Substantial Completion Occurs In July Or August Of 2016, The First Principal Payment Would Be Due June 1, 2017. If
It Appears Substantial Completion Would Take
Place In May Of 2016, The City Council Would
Need To Adopt A Resolution Prepared By Bond
Counsel By June 1, 2016 Amending Phase Ii
Sewer Loan Amount To Include The Cost Of
Bulldog Blvd Project. It Was Again Noted That
Initial Sewer Loan Would Be Restructured So
That Principal And Interest Payments Would
Remain The Same And That Including The
PAver Project Would Not Create Additional
Debt Expense To The City.
Construction Of Permeable Pavers Could Take
Place Any Time During The Year, Although It
Would Be Best To Initiate The Project In MidAugust After The Pool Closes For The Season.
Timing Of Phase Ii Sanitary Sewer Project
And Substantial Completion Date Would Be
Determined Prior To Project Bid Letting As Part
Of The Construction Contract.
11) Status Of Gis Engineering Service Contract
With IIW, Inc.
City Engineer Marc Ruden Indicated That IIw
Is Currently Working With Midwest Geographical Services To Import Aerial Photography And
Other Layers Provided By Clayton County Into
A Geographic Information System (Gis) Base
Model. Marc Would Also Provide Midwest
Geographical With All Data Acquired From
Iiw’s Survey And Manhole Inspection Crew So
That Base Model Would Then Be Fully Populated. When Iiw Has Completed Submission
Of All Required Data To Midwest Geographical
In Early August, It Would Be About A Sixty (60)
Day Turnaround To Have A Working Gis Model
Ready For The City Of Monona.

Clayton County Prison Sentences
Clayton County Attorney Alan
Heavens reports that 11 defendants
have either received prison
sentences or have been denied
requests for early release from
prison sentences imposed for crimes
committed in Clayton County.
Arnold Dean Cole, 52, of
Monona, received a two year prison
sentence for public intoxication,
third offense. Charges arose from
an incident wherein the defendant
harassed staff and customers
while creating a mess at a Monona
establishment. The defendant
was asked to leave and refused.
Two Clayton County Sheriff’s
Deputies arrived and attempted to
conduct field sobriety tests which
the defendant refused, stating he
had been drinking all day and was
highly intoxicated. At the time
the defendant was on parole for
a Bremer County conviction for
public intoxication as a subsequent
offender. The court imposed a two
year prison sentence which was the
maximum sentence allowed by law
for the offense.
Felecia Mae Flores, 33, of
Marquette, was given a 10 year
prison sentence for manufacturing
methamphetamine. The defendant
was initially placed in the West
Union Residential Facility and
successfully completed the
program. After being discharged
to street probation the defendant
violated eight rules of probation
including committing new crimes,
failing to maintain a suitable
residence, leaving the state without
permission, failing to secure and
maintain employment, operating
a motor vehicle without a license
and insurance, failing to remain
in contact with her probation
officer, curfew violations, and using
illegal drugs. A judge revoked the
defendant’s probation and sentenced
her to prison.
Billy Jo Grocholski, 21, of the
Fort Dodge Correctional Facility,
made an unsuccessful request for
reconsideration of a 10 year prison
sentence he received for possessing
a firearm as a felon, eluding, and
operating while intoxicated. The
prosecution resisted reconsidering
the sentence on the grounds that
the 10 year prison term previously
imposed by the court was and is
appropriate given the nature and
circumstances of the offenses.
The court denied the defendant’s
request, ruling that there was no
prima facie showing of any new
facts or changed circumstances
occurring since the recent hearing
and that “the sentence remains
appropriate for all the reasons
given by the court at the time of
sentencing.”
Randi Renee Hanson, 34, of
Luana, received a two year prison
sentence for child endangerment
and witness tampering. After a
contested sentencing hearing in
2014, the defendant was given
the chance at street probation.
Less than four months after the
defendant started on probation a
report of probation violations was
filed. The defendant stipulated to
the violations and her placement
was modified to the Residential
Facility in Waterloo. Approximately
five months later another report
of probation violations was filed
after which the court sentenced the
defendant to serve a two year prison
term.
Jered E. Hellerud, 28, of La
Crosse, Wisconsin, was adjudged
guilty of conspiracy to commit theft
and possession of stolen property
and sentenced to serve back to back
2 year prison sentences for a total
of 4 years. The defendant was found
to have conspired with another to
steal copper wire from a railway
company and then to have sold the
stolen property. In addition to the 4
year prison sentence the defendant
was required to pay victim
restitution. The defendant was also
sentenced to serve a prison term in
La Crosse County Wisconsin for
an unrelated incident involving a
conviction for delivering heroin.
Jason James Mangold, 40,
of Manchester, was sentenced
to serve a term of up to five
years in prison for possession of
methamphetamine – third offense.
The defendant was stopped for
speeding north of Strawberry Point.
Drug paraphernalia was found on
the defendant’s person after which
time he was arrested and taken to
the Clayton County Jail. While
being booked into jail, a pill bottle
containing methamphetamine was
found in the defendant’s underwear.
The defendant also received
prison sentences in Delaware
and Buchanan Counties for other
offenses.
Joseph Ryan Miltier, 21, of the
Fort Dodge Correctional Facility,
was denied a request to reconsider a
10 year prison sentence previously
imposed for conspiring, recruiting
or otherwise using a minor in a
drug trade, possession of marijuana
with the intent to deliver, and two
counts of burglary on two separate
dates. The defendant filed a motion
to reconsider the imposition of
a prison sentence which was
resisted by the prosecution who
had originally recommended the
imposition of a 25 year prison
sentence. The court denied the
defendant’s request. Another request
for reconsideration has been filed
and is now pending.
Ryan Joseph Murphy, 32, of
Guttenberg, was sentenced to serve
a 5 year prison term after being
convicted of possessing marijuana
with the intent to deliver. Charges
arose out of a search warrant
conducted by the Clayton County
Sheriff’s Office during which time
multiple items related to the sale
of illegal drugs were found. The
defendant had previously been on
probation which was revoked to
prison due to probation violations
and was thus not given another
chance at probation.
Tina Nicole Sepe, 31, of who
has resided in Monona, McGregor,
and Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin,
received an additional 5 years in
prison after being convicted of
felony escape. The defendant was
originally sentenced to serve a 7
year prison term for two counts of
burglary. The court directed the
defendant to turn herself in to the
jail by a certain time which she
failed to do. Approximately 5 weeks
later the defendant was found hiding
from authorities in a residence in
rural Clayton County. After she was
located by Clayton County Sheriff’s
Deputies, the defendant was
arrested and charged with escape
of a felon. The maximum prison
sentence of 5 years was imposed
and ordered to be run consecutively
to the initial prison term, increasing
what would have been a 7 year
prison sentence had the defendant
reported on time to 12 years
because she hid from authorities.
Nathan Daniel Slaughter,
30, of McGregor, was given a
17 year prison sentence after
being convicted of conspiracy to
manufacture methamphetamine
and accessory after the fact. The
conspiracy charge stemmed from
a meth lab discovered by Clayton
County Sheriff’s Deputies at the
defendant’s residence in rural
McGregor. The prosecution
charged the defendant as a habitual
offender due to the defendant’s
prior drug felony convictions
in Crawford County and Grant
County Wisconsin. The habitual
offender enhancement increased
the maximum prison sentence from
10 years to 15 years with a 5 year
minimum. The defendant was also
charged with accessory after the
fact for his role in harboring, aiding,
and concealing a convicted felon
on escape status with the intent to
prevent her apprehension by law
enforcement. The defendant was
given the maximum sentence on
EXTRA, EXTRA Read all about it...Say you saw it in The Outlook!
both charges for total of 17 years
in prison with a 5 year mandatory
minimum before parole eligibility.
Dale Patrick Winter, 48, of West
Union, was sentenced to serve
5 years in prison for possession
of methamphetamine – third
offense. During a routine traffic
stop the defendant admitted
to using methamphetamine
and methamphetamine was
subsequently found in the vehicle.
The defendant had multiple prior
methamphetamine convictions from
Fayette County which enhanced
the maximum prison sentence he
was eligible for to 5 years. The
defendant was sentenced to serve
the 5 year prison sentence and was
transported to the Oakdale Prison
Classification center on July 27,
2015.
