VOLUME 16
Luana, Iowa (Ossian, New
Hampton, Polk City, Clive) –
September 13, 2015 – Luana
Savings Bank has been awarded
a 2015 Top Workplaces honor by
the Des Moines Register. The Top
Workplaces lists are based solely
on the results of an employee
feedback survey administered
by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC,
a leading research firm that
specializes in organizational health
and workplace improvement.
Several aspects of workplace
culture were measured, including
Alignment, Execution, and
Connection, just to name a few.
“The Top Workplaces award
is not a popularity contest. And
oftentimes, people assume it’s all
about fancy perks and benefits.”
says Doug Claffey, CEO of
WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be
a Top Workplace, organizations
must meet our strict standards for
organizational health. And who
better to ask about work life than
the people who live the culture
every day—the employees. Time
and time again, our research has
proven that what’s most important
to them is a strong belief in where
the organization is headed, how it’s
going to get there, and the feeling
that everyone is in it together.
Claffey adds, “Without this sense of
connection, an organization doesn’t
have a shot at being named a Top
Workplace.”
David Schultz, President of
Luana Savings Bank, comments
on the award, “Every institution’s
success starts at its core. Employees
who feel respected, appreciated, and
connected to their workplace will
drive the business forward and we
certainly realize this here. We have
such a great staff and are honored
to receive this award – it reaffirms

The Clayton County

at 1:00 p.m. at the Historical
Museum in Elgin. Lunch

One of the many new faces that
one may come across in the halls of
MFL MarMac Elementary School
is that of Niki Guese, who this year
took over as the preschool teacher
for children three to four years old.
Guese previously student taught
at MFL MarMac last spring, but
this will be her first year as a fullfledged teacher.
Guese lives outside of Postville
with her husband and has two
stepsons who’ve graduated and
move out on their own. Guese
graduated high school from Waukon
and graduated college from Upper
Iowa University in Fayette with a
focus on elementary education and
endorsements in early childhood
with special education
In regard to what drew her to
MFL MarMac, Guese remarked,
“I’ve loved it here. I student
taught here last spring in 3rd
grade. The staff was great, so
when I had the opportunity to
apply I did so right away. I liked
the school and I liked the staff.
The opportunity was here so I
took it.”
Guese noted that she had worked
in a preschool before, as well as a
paraprofessional for approximately
seven years, while also running
after-school programs for two
different districts.
As for her new class, Guese
feels she has a great and
awesome group of kids to work
with this year.
“They all played well together.
They followed the rules and listen
to instructions,” Guese commented.
“I didn’t really have any problems
with them.”
When teaching her class,
The Clayton County Sheriff’s
Office has taken a report of a
possible asphalt scam in the area.
Beware of door to door solicitors
who offer to pave or repair
your driveway or sidewalk at a
substantially lower price. Many
times the solicitors will arrive
unannounced and offer a special
discount for leftover asphalt
promising to put a 3 to 4 inch
asphalt base when in fact they only
apply a one or two inch base. These
actions are in violation of Iowa law
and the Clayton County Sheriff’s
Office will investigate as such. If
you have a similar situation write
down the license plate number
and contact the Clayton County
Sheriff’s Office.
Some advice when seeking
driveway or sidewalk repairs;
Obtain written estimates from
multiple contractors and get in
writing the terms of the contract.
Seek referrals from people you
know and trust.
The members of the City
Council met on Tuesday, September
9, with many items of business on
the agenda, and most notably a
significant step forward was made
in regard to the CDBG (Community
Development Block Grant) Owner
Occupied Housing Rehabilitation
Program. Also discussed were two
potential amendments to the city
ordinance code, one pertaining to
the ownership and operating of
amusement devices, the other in
regard to appropriate conduct at a
funeral or burial.
The first action taken in regard
to the Housing Rehab Program was
to hold a public hearing in regard
to the submittal of an application
for a Community Development
Block Grant Owner Occupied
Rehabilitation Funding. Lori
Brockway, Housing Department
Head at UERPC, was on hand to
discuss the city’s application. It was
explained that the application must
include a review of several items,
including how the need for the
project was identified, how it would
it would be funded, as well as the
date the Housing Fund application
would be submitted, the requested
amount of federal funds, and the
estimated amount of those funds
submission of the CDBG Owner
Occupied Housing Rehabilitation
application, and went on to
discussing the program in depth,
and the discussion concluded
with the approval of the proposal
submitted by UERPC to provide
technical services for the Owner
Occupied Housing Rehab grant,
should it be awarded.
Later on, two potential
amendments to city ordinance were
discussed. The first was in regard to
provisions pertaining to disorderly
conduct, and made it against city
law to cause any sort of disturbance
at a funeral or memorial service.
The second amendment pertained
to electrical or amusement devices,
which were defined as any electrical
or mechanical device that is
required to be registered with the
Iowa Department of Inspection and
Appeals. The amendment would
make it illegal for any person under
the age of 21 to own or operate such
a device. It would also be illegal for
any person owning such a device to
knowingly allow a minor to operate
it. Both amendments were voted on
and passed.
Other notable items of business
include the approval of $2,000 to
be designated to the Iowa’s Living
Roadways Community Visioning
Program. Monona participated in
this program in 2007, developing

Guese expressed that she often
lets her student’s interest dictate
the flow of class time.
“I go with the flow,” Guese
said. “If they seem interested in
something I just go with it.”
Looking ahead to the future,
Guese noted a couple of goals that
she has in mind, one short-term
and one long term:
“My short-term goal is to get
through my first year without
any big mess-ups,” said Guese in
jest. “My long-term goals include
going back to get my Masters in
ESL (English as a Second Language).
Overall, Guese is very pleased
with the district and is happy to
be a part of it, noting specifically
the positive relationship she has
with her co-workers.
“My coworkers have been very
helpful in regard to getting me used
to the district and the routines,”
Guese commented.
Although Guese had a thousand
positive things to say about
MFL MarMac school district
and the community as a whole,
she remarked that if she were to
summarize her impressions of
Bulldog Country in one word, it
would be “Open”.
“[The school] seems to be open
to new ideas and ways of doing
things, like with the new TLC
Grant this year,” Guese stated.
“Everybody is just very open to
ways to improve the school for the
kids.”
Ask to see licenses and permits,
and ask the solicitor if they are
bonded.
Never pay in full until the work
is completed, limit what you pay in
advance, do not pay in cash and get
a receipt for your payment.

Monona City Council approves Housing rehab Program in recent meeting
that would go toward benefitting
person of low to moderate income.
Also required were the proposed
locations of the project, plans
to minimalize displacement of
persons or businesses affected
by the project and how to assist
people who are displaced (the City
does not anticipate any persons
or businesses being displaced
by the program), as well as the
general nature of the proposed
project. The goal of the project
is to assist in the rehabilitation
of six existing homes for low to
moderate-income families. The
program’s mission is to stimulate
Monona’s economy. According to
the city’s submitted application,
need for the project arose when city
officials became aware of Monona’s
aging housing stock and a targeted
LMI (Low and Moderate Income)
survey completed in October 2014
indicated an LMI of 58.7%. The
project would be funded with
$9,000 ($1,500 per home) from
the City of Monona, in addition to
$6,000 ($1,000 per home) from the
Northeast Iowa Regional Housing
Trust Fund Revolving Loan Fund
Account for six homes, this all in
addition to the requested $235,440
in federal funds.

improvements along transportation
corridors to small Iowa facilities.
Monona representatives would
work through a development and
planning process for enhancing
natural, cultural and visual
resources of the community along
local roadways.
Linda Gullickson was on hand
to give her report on the swimming
pool, noting that the number of
individuals who signed up for
swimming lessons this year had
increased. She also addressed
some complaints that had arisen
as a result of the pool closing early
some days due to poor weather
and/or low attendance. Gullickson
reiterated that the rule the aquatic
center has followed for many years
is that if by approximately 1 p.m.
the temperature is below 70 degrees
and/or there are less ten individuals
at the pool, it will be closed for
the afternoon, with the possibility
of reopening in the evening if the
weather improves.
Lastly, payment application
number four from Brenton

work on the Murphy-Helwig
Library Addition and Renovation
Project, which amounted to
$117,560.60, was approved.
Elections were held this past
week on Tuesday, September

At MFL MarMac, incumbents
Sharon Greener and Tonya
Meyer retained their seats,
while newcomer Collin Stubbs

previously held by former School
Board President Patty Burkle,
who elected to step down after
serving 14 years on the MFL
MarMac School Board.
In regard to Central
Community School, Michael
Whittle, Nicole Dennler, and Suzy
Hilgerson were all elected to the
board, while the sole incumbent
up for reelection, Kristen
Fitzgerald, was not voted back
into office, having not received
enough votes to retain her seat.
At Clayton Ridge, incumbents

of office and were sworn in

Andrew LArson
OutlOOk EditOr
The Monona Chamber of
Commerce held a ribbon cutting
ceremony this past week to
welcome Brenan’s Interior/Exterior
Painting as a Chamber Member.
The business, owned and operated
by Brenan Steele, is based out of
Luana, however the ceremony
was held at Shane Malanaphy’s
apartment building, which Steele
had recently completed work on.
“I was always taught to do a job
right the first time, so I don’t have
to do it again a second time,” said
Steele during the ceremony. “I like
to take pride in my work. I make
the customers happy. I leave the
job when everyone is content. As
soon as I finish one job, though, the
phone rings and I’m busy again.”
Steele continued, speaking to
the origins of his business, “I was
in the Laborer’s Union for a while
and didn’t exactly know what I
wanted to do for my future. I just
worked down in Brooke’s Painting
and I ended up buying him out,
and it just escalated from there. It
turned me on to some work, and
it’s been great. I can’t get over how
the phones just kept ringing. It’s
awesome.”
Also present at the ribbon
cutting were Chamber Executive
Director Rogeta Halvorson, Mayor
Barb Collins, City Administrator
Dan Canton, Councilmembers Dan
Havlicek and Randi Blietz, and
others.

Annual Labor day Parade held in
McGregor, Iowa enjoyed by many
Marilyn Loera
1968-2015
The family pictured above rides astride a vintage fire truck, once
used by the McGregor Fire Department.
Marilyn Jean Loera, 47, of
Monona, Iowa died Wednesday,
September 9, 2015 at Veteran’s
Memorial Hospital in Waukon, Iowa.
Marilyn Jean was born to Andrew
and Betty (Hokel) Campbell on
March 7, 1968 in Oelwein, Iowa.
Marilyn graduated from West
Central High School in Maynard,
Iowa in 1986. She also attended
NICC from 2001-2003.
Marilyn was united in marriage
with Alejandro Loera on March 19,
2001 in Postville, Iowa. She was
employed at Agri-Star, Cabelas,
North Star Foods, White Home
Town Foods, Good Samaritan
Society, Iowa Turkey Plant, Monona
Wire and Iowa Turkey Products.
Marilyn’s family and friends
remember her quiet, gentle
personality, her ever present smile
and laughter. Most dear to her was
family; she loved spending time with
her husband, children, grandchildren
and extended family members. She
was proud of every one of them.
Some of her most memorable
moments were made traveling with
her family to Mexico for family
visits. She also loved to play cards.
Many family gatherings consisted of
playing cards and laughter. Marilyn
was a wonderful cook and loved
making large family meals, anyone
just stopping by was always offered
a place at her table. Marilyn also
loved to crochet, making afghans
for all her children. From a very
young age, Marilyn always had
a passion for horses. As an adult
her home has been fully decorated
with them. Although cancer came
into her life over two years ago, her
spirit and faith never faltered. She
always remained positive and strong
throughout her entire fight. She
will always be remembered for her
strength, perseverance and positive
attitude through the troubling times.
Marilyn will be dearly missed by her
family and friends.
Marilyn is survived by her
husband, Alejandro Loera of
Monona, Iowa; seven children,
Katrina (Michael) Nelson of
Hawkeye, LeAnna (Joe) Guyer of
Frankville, Krista (Jessie) Lane
of Randalia, Austin Harris of
Lansing, Andre (Mandy) Heins of
Monona, Vanessa Loera of Monona
and Jessica Loera of Monona;
her parents, Andrew and Betty
Campbell of Big Fork, Minnesota;
eight grandchildren; siblings, Janet
(Mike) Wagner of Blue Grass, Iowa,
Andrew Campbell Jr. of Spring
Valley, Minnesota and John (Amy)
Campbell of Hawkeye, Iowa.
Marilyn was preceded in death
by her grandparents, Clarence and
Ella Campbell and Meryl and Reta
Hokel; aunts, Barbara Hokel and
Debbie Hokel and uncle, Meryl
Hokel Austin.
Visitation was held Sunday,
September 13, 2015 from 4-8 p.m.
at Leonard-Grau Funeral Home and
Cremation Service, Monona, Iowa.
There was also a one hour visitation
before services on Monday.
Funeral Service were held at

4th Graders and their families eligible for free access to federal lands & waters nationwide
Effigy Mounds National
Monument is proud to support
the launch of the Every Kid in a
Park program as part of President
Obama’s commitment to protect our
nation’s unique outdoor spaces and
ensure that every American has the
opportunity to visit and enjoy them.
Every Kid in a Park is designed
to inspire the next generation to
discover all that our nation’s public
lands and waters have to offer,
including opportunities to be active,
spend time with friends and family,
serve as living classrooms to build
critical skills, and discover our
nation’s heritage.
As of September 1st, fourth
graders nationwide can visit the
new Every Kid in a Park website
to obtain a pass that provides free
access to students and their families
to all federally managed lands and
waters – including national parks,
forests and wildlife refuges. The
pass is valid through August 31,
2016 and grants free entry for fourth
graders and three accompanying
adults (or an entire car for drive-in
parks) at more than 2,000 federallymanaged sites.
Superintendent Jim Nepstad
said: “There’s a lot to discover
here, and we’re excited to welcome
fourth graders and their families to
Effigy Mounds National Monument
throughout the school year. We
hope that our young visitors have
fun in the great outdoors and
develop a lifelong connection to our
nation’s land, water, wildlife, and
history.”
To support the Every Kid in a
Park program, and to celebrate the
100th anniversary of the National
Park Service, Effigy Mounds
National Monument will provide
special experiences for kids,
including a Junior Ranger program,
films on the National Parks, special
“kid” hikes, special demonstrations
of ancient American Indian tools
and weapons, as well as providing
an opportunity to complete the
Every Kid in a Park certificate.
These programs will take place
each Saturday afternoon in April
and May, 2016. More details will
be available closer to the events.
Today, more than 80 percent of
American families live in urban
areas, and many lack easy access to
safe outdoor spaces. At the same time,
youth spend more hours than ever in
front of screens instead of outside.
The Every Kid in a Park
program is an Administration-wide
effort offered in partnership with
the Department of the Interior, the
Department of Agriculture, the
Department of Education, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, and the
Put Pain in its Place
How to Get Osteoarthritis Pain under Control
Get the facts about osteoarthritis pain and learn strategies
for controlling and even preventing pain. Together with
your doctor, you can create a pain management plan that
can help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Find out what you can do to Put Pain in its place.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. Fourth graders can
get their official passes at many
National Park Service sites as well
as lands managed by other federal
agencies.
Fourth graders: log onto the
website www.everykidinapark.gov
and complete a fun educational
activity in order to obtain and print
your pass. You can also trade
in your paper pass for an official
card at participating federal sites
nationwide. The Every Kid in a
Park pass is not available at Effigy
Mounds since the Monument
does not charge an entry fee.
However, you can go to https://
everykidinapark.gov/plan-your-trip/

you can trade in your paper pass for
an official card.

educational activities, field trip
options, and the ability to print
passes for your classrooms.
Parents: find additional links for
more information on planning trips
to nearby public lands on the Every

Explorerland Regional Planning Commission
(Uerpc) Was Present To Discuss And Explain
Proposed Housing Rehab Grant Application
Process For The City Of Monona. Brockway
Also Read Nine (9) Important Points Of The
Program As Listed Below:
(A) How The Need For The Proposed Activity
Or Projects Were Identified
The Need For The Owner-Occupied Housing
With The Iowa Economic Development Authority Came From Several Public Meetings Held
By The City Council Members. Monona’s
Aging Housing Stock Is A Real Concern For
The City To Promote Business Development
And Economic Growth. A Targeted Lmi Survey
Was Completed In October, 2014 Which
Indicated An Lmi Of 58.7% For A Targeted
Group Of Monona Households. This Further
Substantiated The Need For Owner Occupied
Housing And Those 58.7% Would Benefit
From The Assistance Of The Cdbg Funds To
Improve These Homes.
(B) How The Proposed Activity Or Projects will
Be Funded And The Sources Of Funds
The Proposed Activity Will Be Funded With
$9,000 Of Local Match Or $1,500 Per Home
From The City Of Monona And $6,000 Or
$1,000 Per Home From The Northeast Iowa
Regional Housing Trust Fund Revolving Loan
Fund Account For The Owner-Occupied Program For Six (6) Homes.
(C) The Date The Housing Fund Applications
Will Be Submitted
The Housing Fund Owner-Occupied Applications Will Be Submitted On Or Before January
15, 2016 To The Iowa Economic Development
Authority (Ieda).
(D) Requested Amount Of Federal Funds
(Housing Fund)
The Requested Amount Is $235,440 For
The Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation
Program.
(E) Estimated Portion Of Federal Funds That
Will Benefit Persons Of Low And Moderate
Income
The City Has Proposed Assisting Six (6) Lmi
Households With Rehabilitation Of Their
Homes. The Intent Is To Target Those Living
In Homes ConsideRed To Be In Deteriorated
Condition. In Looking At The 2014 Target
Lmi Survey That Was Completed, 58.7% Of
Monona Residents Are Considered Low To
Moderate Income Persons, It Is Expected That
These Funds Will Benefit Six (6) Homes Of
That 58.7% Population.
2) Hearing Of Delegations
None
(F) Where The Proposed Activity Or Project
Will Be Conducted
The Projects Will Be Conducted Within A Target Area In The City Limits Of Monona.
3) Fire Department Report
Chief Dave Smith Briefly Talked About Fire Department Activities For Month Of August. Smith
Also Mentioned Fire Prevention Week Would
Be Observed October 4-10, 2015.
(G) Plans To Minimize Displacement Of Persons And Businesses As A Result Of Funded
Activities Or Projects
NO Businesses Or Persons Will Be Displaced
During This Process.
4) Swimming Pool Report
Swimming Pool Operations Report Through
September 4, 2015 As Prepared By Deputy

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its
intent to reimburse state and local Iowa governments and agencies, and eligible private nonprofit organizations for eligible costs incurred
to repair and/or replace facilities damaged by:
Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Straight-line Winds,
and Flooding occurring from June 20-25, 2015.
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 §§ 5121-5207,
as amended.
Under a major disaster declaration for Iowa
(FEMA-4234-DR-IA) signed by the President
on July 31, 2015, the following counties in the
state of Iowa have been designated adversely
affected by the disaster and are eligible for PA
only: Allamakee, Appanoose, Butler, Clayton,
Dallas, Davis, Des Moines, Guthrie, Howard,
Jefferson, Lee, Lucas, Marion, Mitchell, Monroe, Warren, Wayne, Winneshiek, and Wright
Counties. All counties in the state of Iowa are
eligible for HMGP. There are no counties declared for Individual Assistance.
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 control 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 except 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 backup to wash out
the structures. The water backup could wash

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 review 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 facility, such as a park or other openuse 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. For historic properties not adversely affected by FEMA’s undertaking, this
will be the only Public Notice.
FEMA also intends to provide Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding under
Section 404 of the Stafford Act to the State of
Iowa for the purposes of mitigating future disaster damages. Hazard mitigation projects may
involve the construction of a new facility (e.g.,
retention pond, or debris dam), modification of
an existing undamaged facility (e.g., improving
waterway openings of bridges or culverts), and
the relocation of facilities out of the floodplain.
Subsequent Notices will provide more specific
information as project proposals are developed.
Information about assistance projects may
be obtained by submitting a written request to
the Regional Director, DHS-FEMA Region VII;
9221 Ward Pkwy., Suite 300; Kansas City, MO
64114-3372. The information may also be obtained by calling: (816) 283-7060, between the
hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday. Comments should be sent in writing to
the Regional Director, at the above address,
within 15 days of the date of publication of this
Notice.

The Silver Lining:
The Curious Case of Kim Davis
Andrew Larson
Outlook Editor
Before I delve into this
increasingly tricky subject, let me
just preface my upcoming remarks
with a few notes I’d like you all
to keep in mind. Yes, for once I’m
taking the risk of addressing a
serious topic. It’s a topic that’s not
exactly applicable to life, nor will
it ever really be, but I still find it
worth pondering in consideration
of the state of our country and
even our world, where we’ve been
and where we are going. More
importantly, as I type this now, I’m
not even sure how I feel about the
whole situation, and my hope is the
proceeding ruminations will help
me sort out my own opinions and
eventually reach a conclusion for
myself. Thus, as of now the ending
of this column still remains as much
a mystery to me as it does to you,
and I don’t have the luxury of just
skipping to the final paragraph to
see the shocking twist at the end,
assuming there is a shocking twist.
The second thing I’d like you to
keep in mind is that since this is a
serious topic, I’m going to remain
serious, myself, much unlike my
previous rants and ramblings. In
the past, everything I’ve written in
these columns has been done so
with at least a slight air of sarcasm,
but not this time. For once I’m
going to be straight with you guys.
Lastly, you are all free to disagree
with me all you wish. In fact, I fully
anticipate that some of you will,
and if/when you do I hope you will
write a letter to me in response, or
even come talk to me in person,
and we can hash things out. I only
ask that if we must argue we do
so keeping a civil tongue. Now,
without further ado, it’s time to get
my hands dirty.
For those who don’t know, Kim
Davis is (was?) the County Clerk
of Rowan County in Kentucky.
After the Supreme Court
effectively legalized same-sex
marriage throughout all fifty
states, she garnered national
attention when she refused to
issue marriage licenses to samesex couples who came to her
apply for them, on the grounds
that it would be against her
beliefs as a Christian to do so.
Her case was taken through the
court systems, and eventually it
was ruled that regardless of her
religious objections, she must
issue the marriage licenses.
However, despite the court order
she still refused to go against
her religious beliefs, and for once
again refusing to issue marriage
licenses to same-sex couples,
Davis was held in contempt
of court and sentenced to jail
time. “You can’t be separated
from something that’s in your
heart and in your soul,” Davis
told U.S. District Judge David
Bunning as she explained how
the Supreme Court’s ruling
legalizing same-sex marriage
nationwide conflicts with her
beliefs as a Born-Again Christian.
“I promised to love Him with all
my heart, mind and soul because
I wanted to make heaven my
home.”
Now, while I don’t necessarily
agree with Davis’s actions
regarding this matter, I do
praise her for being unwavering
in her beliefs. That’s is very
admirable. I don’t think anyone
can deny her that commendation.
However, I do feel that she is
overlooking some facts. In
times like these it’s worth
remembering the principle of
‘Separation of Church and State’.
Rowan County Courthouse
is not, in fact, a church or, by
definition, any sort of religious
establishment. Furthermore, a
state-issued marriage license
has nothing to do with religion.
It does not recognize a couple
as married in the eyes of God,
or your omnipotent deity of
choice. It recognizes a couple
as married in the eyes of the
state and federal government,
and recognizes that they are
entitled the many legal marriage
benefits the state and federal
laws allow, and therein lies
Davis’s real problem. The samesex couples coming to her were
not necessarily seeking to be
married in the eyes of God.
To achieve that they would be
required to be married by a
fully ordained minister/priest/
rabbi/”Man of the cloth”. (This
probably goes without saying,
but Davis is not a pastor of any
sort, nor is she working out of a
church. I would have no problem
in saying that she was completely
justified in her actions, were
she a pastor, and therefore
her religious beliefs were an
essential part of her profession.
Unfortunately, though, they
are not.) The couples that come
to her are only seeking to be
married in the eyes of state
and federal law, and, as I said
before, be entitled to marriage
benefits, which federal law now
dictates that same-sex couples
are entitled to, as well, but Davis
refused to comply. In this sense
we have the commonly held
argument that she was using her
religious beliefs to elevate herself
above the law. This is not the only
way of looking at the situation,
though.
Although a county courthouse
has very little to do with one’s
personal theology, that does
not mean one is free to abandon
their beliefs upon entering a
courthouse to perform their daily
employment duties. The action of
issuing a state marriage-license
to a same-sex couple may be
inherently bereft of any religious
significance upon those receiving
the license, but that does not
necessarily mean that it does not
have religious bearing upon the
one issuing the license. Granted,
that person’s deity of choice
is probably not going to smite
them on the spot for issuing the
license, but it is difficult to ask
somebody to perform a job that
they feel so starkly contradicts
their most deeply held morals
and beliefs. Davis was put in
jail for staunchly refusing to go
against her beliefs. Such a thing is
counterintuitive these days, and
could hardly be called a positive
outcome of the situation.
This whole scenario can’t be
fully discussed without taking
a moment to consider also my
positions of same-sex marriage
in general, and it is basically this:
As I alluded to previously, there
are really two kinds of marriage:
Marriage in the religious sense
(In my case it would be the
Christian definition of marriage),
and also marriage in the legal
sense, or a civil union, to which
it is sometimes referred. In
the Christian Bible, marriage
is defined as a union between
one man and one woman, and
homosexuality is specifically
spoken against. This I can’t really
get around, as I’m not one to
argue with the Bible. So, as far
as religion is concerned I do not
approve of same-sex marriage.
However, I have no problem with
same-sex couples be married in

the legal sense, which, again, has
nothing to do with being married
in the religious sense, and being
extended the same benefits that
would be given a heterosexual
couple. It’s my own personal
version of ‘Separation of Church
and State’. Now, as far as religious
beliefs regarding homosexuality,
I know this much: The bible does
specifically speak out against the
practice, however it’s not exactly
the 11th Commandment or the
8th Deadly Sin. It may be a sin, I
recognize that, but I don’t believe
it should be treated as any worse
than any other sin. We are all
sinners, according to the Bible,
and we’ve all sinned equally.
Therefore, I’m not going to think
any less of a person, just because
he/she may have different sexual
preferences. They may sin, but
I’ve sinned equally in other
ways. No sense in trying to feel
superior. Anyway, I feel I may be
getting too preachy here. This is
just my belief on the subject of
homosexuality. Make of it what
you will.
To get back to Davis and her
curious case, I still feel a little bit
torn. I think I understand why
she did what she did, or rather
didn’t do what she didn’t do. She
is very religiously zealous, and
I can’t look down on anybody
for that, regardless of their
religion. However, I feel her zeal
may have been misplaced. Davis
seemed to have been forcing
her religious beliefs where she
should not have. It’s also worth
noting that she ordered all five
her deputy clerks to not issue
licenses to same-sex couples,
and in that she was forcing her
religious beliefs on to them, as
well, which, regardless if they
agreed with her or not, I can’t
see as a good thing. It’s always
good to spread the positive
messages of one’s own religion,
but a person can’t force others
to adhere to one’s own religious
beliefs. Davis, as I write this, sits
in jail, although she is probably
out by the time you are reading
this, and there are those who
say that she is being persecuted
for her beliefs and that she was
jailed for being a Christian.
That’s not true. She was jailed for
not following a court mandate
and not upholding federal law.
A person’s religious beliefs, no
matter how important they are,
do not give a person an excuse
to break the law. I could decide
to burn down a brothel (I’m not
going to burn down a brothel.
This is all extremely hypothetical
in the hopes of making some
sort of a point.) because I have
some sort of religious objection
to it’s existence, but that’s not
going to save me from serving
time for arson, destruction of
private property, and possibly
manslaughter. That would clearly
be taking things up a notch
or two, but the point remains
the same. A person’s religious
obligations don’t trump their
legal obligations. Or do they?
Maybe that is the real argument
here.
When do a person’s religious
beliefs come before the
obligations set forth by those
in power? Well, that really
depends on the religion. The
Bible speaks to this conundrum,
but I won’t go there, lest I
become preachy again. What
I can say about it, though, is
this: The Bible states that our
world leaders and government
officials are put in place through
God’s Will, and should be
revered as such. Those of us
who consider ourselves to be
Christian, Davis included, ought
to respect the laws put forth
by our system of government,
as much as we respect laws set
by God. Ultimately, I think I can
now sum up my stance on this
whole messy business with this
quote from the New Testament,
Matthew 22:21: “Render therefore
unto Caesar the things which are
Caesar’s; and unto God the things
that are God’s.”

South Winneshiek Warriors too much for MFL MarMac
Bulldogs lose first football game of the season, 50-24
Andrew Larson
Outlook Editor
MFL MarMac fought hard
Friday night, but the South Winn
Warriors superior speed and size
proved to be just too much for the
Bulldogs to contend with, as they
dropped their first game of the
season to the reigning state runnerup, 50-24.
Things looked bleak early on for
the Bulldogs, as they quickly found
themselves in a hole and starting at
a three score deficit at the end of the
first quarter, and hope had dwindled
even further as the teams went into
halftime with the score at 34-0 in
favor of the Warriors.
The Bulldogs would step up the
intensity going into the second half,
scoriong on a couple of running
plays from Senior RB Bryce Burke,
along with one from Junior QB
Tristen Kautman. The Bulldogs
converted their two-point attempts
after each score. This would
not be enough, however, as the
Warriors continued their offensive
dominance, adding a couple of
scores of their own to put the game
out of reach.
Although the game didn’t end in
the Bulldogs’ favor, their were still
some bright spots: Burke continued
his impressive season with 101
rushing yards on six attempts, to go
along with his two scores. Junior
Lineman Colton Dettman racked
up seven total tackles on the night,
including two sacks, and Senior
Colby Ferguson added eight tackles
of his own, including one tackle for
loss.

spikers sink
rival Postville
in home opener
Andrew Larson
Outlook Editor
The Bulldogs’ varsity
volleyball team managed to
come away with a hard fought
victory over their fierce rivals,
the Postville Pirates, and did so
in convincing fashion to open the
home portion of their schedule.
Things looked good for the
Bulldogs early, when after a
tough back-and-forth struggle
the girls finally managed to put
some space between themselves
and the Pirates they managed to
secure a highly-contested 25-20
first set victory.
Set two exposed some
potential problems for the
Bulldogs as the Pirates took off
to an early double-digit lead,
from which they commanded
the majority of the second set.
The Bulldogs made a valiant
comeback attempt toward the
end, but it was too little too late.
Several costly mental errors by
the Bulldogs combined with some
very impressive serving and
defensive play was just too much
for MFL MarMac to overcome in
set two.
With things all knotted up
at one set apiece, set three was
where the intensity was turned
up a notch.

Not only was it the 30th
anniversary of the 1985 MFL
state softball team, it was also the
wedding anniversary of the team's
coach and his wife. Members of
the 1985 and 1986 MFL softball
teams, which earned state softball
tournament berths in back-to-back
years, met Saturday, August 15,
to reminisce and celebrate the
anniversary of their coach, Roger
and wife Pat Martin of Monona.
The event was hosted by Carla
(Melcher) Pester. All members
of the '85 and '86 teams and their
families were invited. Those
attending reminisced about the trips
to State at Fort Dodge, enjoyed a
potluck meal, and celebrated the
Martins’ 57th anniversary.
Members of the '85 team were
Lisa Bollman, Colleen Melcher,
Becky Scheffert, Tonya Scheffert,
Jody Mueller, Lori Johanningmeier,
Darci White, Janie Johanningmeier,
Melissa Fuelling, Carla Melcher,
Amy Meyer, Kim Brau, Becky
Meisner, and Juli Davis. The team
recorded 28 wins and 9 losses for
the season with a 5th place finish at
the state tournament.
The team returned to State
the following year and posted
a 33-6 record and a 6th place
finish at State. Member of the '86
team included Bollman, Colleen
Melcher, Becky Scheffert, Mueller,
Lori Johanningmeier, Janie
Johanningmeier, Fuelling, Carla
Melcher, Meisner, and Davis.
Newcomers to the 1986 varsity
team included Marcie Mielke,
Cathy Thompson, Kristie Moritz,
and Jeana Seitz.
Roger Martin coached at MFL
from 1976 to 2000. His overall
record at MFL was 607 wins, 361
losses.

The Pirates jumped out to
another early lead, extending it
to as far as seven at one point,
but the Bulldogs’ persistence
paid off and they managed to
rally back to tie it up at 15 all,
and even take a momentarily 1615 lead, before Postville finally
called time out to regroup and
try to put a stop to some of the
Bulldogs’ momentum. After the
timeout Postville reclaimed the
lead briefly, getting ahead by
as much as two points at some
spots, before the Bulldogs rallied
one more time, closing out the
third set on a 6-0 run, led strong
serving and some great defensive
play.
Up two sets to one, the
Bulldogs’ positive momentum
carried into the forth set where
they found themselves with
an early five-point lead over
their opponents, but the Pirates
would not go away and even
took a one-point lead briefly in
the early stages of set four, but
the Bulldogs kept fighting. With
MFL MarMac clinging to a one
point lead and trying desperately
to stave off Postville’s furious
comeback attempt, Bulldogs
Head coach Natalie Heiring to
settle her team down and reclaim
the momentum. Things would
turn heavily in the Bulldogs favor
after that final timeout, as the
Bulldogs finished the set on an
8-0 run to win the set 25-15 and
take the match three sets to one
to come away with their first win
of the 2015 season.
The final rally came on the
strength of very impressive streak of
serves from Junior Emily Hanson,
who finished the night leading her
team with three aces and went 17for-17 on service attempts. Hanson
would also add eight digs to her stat
line. Also strong on the night were
Juniors Amber Adney, who led her
team with nine kills and ten digs
two aces, while also going 12-for-13
on service attempts on the night,
and Nicole Heins, who had four
kills of her own, and led her team
with four total blocks.
The Bulldogs next
match up against the
1-5 South Winneshiek
Warriors on Thursday,
September 17.
The Bulldogs jumped out to a
20-0 lead and never looked back
en route to a very convincing win
over Edgewood-Colesburg in their
first home game of the season. The
victory brings the football team to
2-0, after thwarting rival Postville
25-0 in the season opener the week
before.
The scoring began early and
often for the Bulldogs, as RB
Bryce Burke capped off his team’s
opening drive with an 8-yard
scamper for a touchdown. On their
first possession of the game, the
Vikings of Edgewood-Colesburg
were moving the ball down the field,
when a Viking rushing attempt
was halted by the Bulldogs’ stout
defensive line, which knocked
the ball loose. Burke scooped up
the loose ball and quickly took it
the other way. With one man to
beat and pay dirt ten yards away,
teammate Chase Stubbs laid down
a very timely block to free the way
for Burke. Mason Doyle would add
the extra point to make the score
13-0.
“Bryce had a monster game,”
Head Football Coach Tom Oppelt
said of his player. “He really played
great.”
The first quarter was finished
off by one more score from the
Bulldogs, this time a 35-yard
touchdown pass from Junior QB
Tristen Kautman to Junior WR Ty
Hefner, followed by another Doyle
extra point to make the score 20-0.
The game got a little more
competitive in the second quarter
as Edgewood-Colesburg was able
to keep MFL MarMac off the board
while adding six points of their own
to make the score 20-6 going into
halftime.
After a scoreless third quarter
by both sides, the Bulldogs would
finally put the game out of reach
with a very timely 41-yard pick
six by Bryce Burke with a Mason
Doyle extra point to follow. A Chase
Stubbs 4-yard touchdown run would
seal the win for the Bulldogs.
The win came behind the
strength of a relentless offense
and an unforgiving defense. The
Bulldogs offense proved it could
reliably move the ball on the ground
or through the air, racking up 226
rushing yards and two rushing
between five separate rushers, and
72 yards and a touchdown pass
from the steady arm of quarterback
Tristen Kautman, who finished the
night with a respectable quarterback
rating of 94.1 and 14.4 yards per
completion. On the other side of
the ball, the defense jumped on
every mistake the Vikings’ offense
made, forcing three interceptions
and recovering two fumbles. The
Bulldogs made the most of their
takeaways, scoring off two of them,
with a third eventually leading to a
score.
Senior Bryce Burke had a very
impressive game, scoring one
touchdown on the ground and
adding two more from the defensive
side, one each from a fumble return
and an interception return, both
coincidentally were good for 41
yards. Burke also added a pair of
five-yard pass receptions to his
resume on the night, as well as 16
rushing yards on four attempts.
Coach Oppelt praised the
consistent play of Colby Ferguson,
who put forth a strong effort on
both sides of the ball Friday night,
putting together 83 rushing yards
on 15 attempts along with six total
tackles.
“Colby did a great job at strong
outside linebacker,” Oppelt said.
“He had what I’d consider a great
game for any high school player, but
Colby just goes about his business
quietly.”
Also putting up considerable
numbers on the defensive side were
Mason Hertrampf, Sophomore, and
Chris Larsen, Senior, who put up
eight total tackles and seven total
tackles, respectively.
“The defense did another great
job,” Oppelt remarked.
