4 DAY FORECAST WEDNESDAY HIGH 48o LOW 37o WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER AREA EVENTS Birdnow and Lions Club host Christmas decorating contest Birdnow Chevrolet and the Lions Club are having a Christmas decoration contest. Anyone who would like to participate has until December 21, 2015 to get their house decked out in festive fashion. Judging will occur the week of December 21st. Osborne offers survival skills workshop Osborne Nature Center Clayton County Conservation will hold a primitive skills workshop from 3:30 – 5:00 PM Wednesday, December 30th at the Osborne Nature Center. “Dressed Well and Unafraid” will give participants an opportunity to grow their survival skills heading into the new year by learning primitive methods for fire building, shelter making, and acquiring food. This workshop will offer not only practical skills, but a chance to reconnect with our shared history by learning how humans have survived Iowa’s unforgiving winters for thousands of years. The free program will take place outside, so attendees should dress accordingly. We will cancel in the event of overly hazardous weather. The Osborne Center is located on Highway 13, ten miles north of Strawberry Point or five miles south of Elkader. The center is open from 8:00am to 4:00pm, Monday-Saturday. Please call 563-245-1516 for more information or visit www. claytoncountyconservation.org. 16, 2015 | VOLUME Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon will be offering special Christmas Weekend Clinics on Friday, December 25, from 1-5 p.m. and again on Friday, January 1, from 1-5 p.m. Weekend Clinics are held every Saturday and Sunday year-round at Veterans Memorial Hospital for nonemergencies and help save families the cost of regular emergency room fees on the weekends when the other local clinics are closed.

For more information, please call Veterans Memorial Hospital at (563) 568-3411. | NUMBER 49 | USPS 017-988 Annual Holiday Train stop collects 4,861 pounds of food JASON LOPER OUTLOOK EDITOR When the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train pulled into Marquette for its annual visit on Tuesday, December 8, a rather sizable crowed was waiting to greet it. With a temperature in the upper 40’s and nary a snowflake in sight, it was a perfect evening to get into the holiday spirit, and that certainly showed in the number of people who gathered on Water Street for the event. The crowd started gathering early this year. With the train scheduled to arrive at 5:00 p.m., the Water Street levy was already filling up with onlookers by 4:00. Those who gathered under the pink sunset were entertained by carolers and kept warm with hot chocolate sold by MFL MarMac’s Dollars for Scholars. The Holiday Train arrived as scheduled, approaching from the west and crossing 1st Street at 5:00 p.m. The brightly lit train first positioned itself just north of the US 18 bridge and then “backed” into position to rest with the engine near the 1st Street curve on the north end and the caboose parallel with Water Street’s dead-end on the south. When the stage car opened Kira Isabella and Doc Walker entertained the crowd with a raucous holiday performance. As the crowd gathered around the stage attendees had the opportunity to shoot selfies and portraits in front of the 14 glowing train cars. This is one of only three stops that the Holiday Train makes in Iowa. The train had been in Mason City on December 7 and then in Charles City the morning before it made its way to Marquette. After departing from Marquette, the train made its way to La Crescent, Minnesota to continue its fundraising trip across the northern United States. The Holiday Train’s stop in Marquette netted 4,861 pounds of non-perishable foods and $7,576.00 in monetary donations. All donations collected at the Marquette stop benefit the Clayton County Food Shelf. Jason Loper It looks like Trilogy Partners will have to go back to the drawing board with their plans for the parcel of land where Holiday Shores Motel once stood in McGregor. The Planning and Zoning Board did not approve Trilogy Partner’s request for the zoning change that would allow the group to build a planned condominium development on the site. The Planning and Zoning board re-adjourned on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, following a week of deliberations after an initial zoning meeting. Mike Jensen, an engineer from IIW in Dubuque, represented Trilogy Partners at the meeting. Two of Trilogy Partners’ entities, Bruce and Lois Buchheit, were also in attendance. Jensen presented updated site plans and answered questions that were left unanswered at the end of the November 30 meeting. Jensen’s presentation included a conceptual site plan that gave an overview of the building’s design and addressed questions about potential flooding issues. This conceptual plan indicated a 3-story, 18-unit condominium development that would include a parking lot with a minimum of 27 spaces. Lois Buchheit reiterated that this was merely a conceptual plan and that Trilogy Partners has not yet engaged in a design process that would decide the ultimate size of | $1 PER FRIDAY 52 49 o ISSUE o | CALL SATURDAY 45o 563-539-4554 Schultz Sign Company opens in downtown Monona Among the crowd of people who gathered in awe of the holiday train, a couple stops to pose in front of the Canadian Pacific. JASON LOPER OUTLOOK EDITOR Carolers sing out in holiday bliss during the festive events surrounding the annual Holiday Train stop in McGregor. McGregor zoning board denies zoning change request Outlook editor Weekend clinics available over the Holidays 16 THURSDAY the building and condo units. The lack of a commercial element to the development was the ultimate sticking point for the zoning board. Zoning board member Donna Staples stated, “I have mixed feelings. I’m not saying condos are right and I’m not saying condos are wrong. But I’m also thinking about the future of this town and the community and we do need something that creates revenue to keep our chamber going for our community. But I wish there could be a plan in play to accommodate both things.” Board member Neil Dodgen also questioned whether changing the zoning of this property would open up the area for further residential development, “The question before us is will we allow a zoning change? My initial thought is I’d like to keep the zoning the same. We set it up that way for a reason,” Dodgen said. “If we go ahead and change the zoning that will open it up – because projects do fail – that will open up this whole area to other things that could be put up without any permission.” Another board member, Sallee Meuhlbauer, agreed that a mix of residential and commercial would better suit the needs of the community. “I’m with Donna. If you would be open to trying to do two things and make it a win for you and make it a win for the city,” Meulbauer stated. She went on to say, “I’m not saying I’m against things that you want to do. I just hope that we can come together and that you’re open to other suggestions that just the condos.” The zoning board all agreed that while the condo development would be a nice addition to the community, they could not recommend the zoning change. As board chairperson Larry Brummel said, “The property that you own is the diamond here in town. We want to make sure that it’s developed for the best use for both you and the city.” The zoning board took a brief recess to come to final agreement on their decision on zoning change. Upon returning from recess Sallee Muehlbauer read the following motion: “I make a motion to deny applicant’s request for a zoning change. The board recommends that the city council work with the developers/owners to design a mixed-use property to include condominium ownership and short-term lodging. Furthermore, the board recommends that the city council make a motion to add planned unit developments as a special exception in the W1 zoning district.” The motion was seconded by Neil Dodgen and approved by the rest of the zoning board. *Correction: In last week’s article about the zoning board meeting, we incorrectly stated that Josie Davis asked how many in the crowd were in favor of the condo development. That question should have been credited to Cathy Corpian. We regret the error. There’s one less empty storefront in downtown Monona thanks to Ben Schultz and his eponymous sign business. Shultz started renting the space at 104 West Center Street in August and spent the following few months outfitting the former beauty salon to fit his needs. Schultz pulled up carpet, repainted some of the walls and covered other walls in tin sheets. “It’s cheaper to do that than to paint,” Schultz said. “I’m just going to start tinning everything.” The tins walls give the space a modern industrial look and allows the light from the big picture windows to bounce around the space, giving it a brightness that couldn’t be achieved with paint. The move from Schultz’s home, where his business had been based for the past five years, and into the storefront location was one of necessity. As Schultz’s business grew and he amassed more equipment, he came to realize he needed a new space for operations. “You pretty much had to look over the printer to see the TV in the house,” Schultz said. The business “took up the whole house. The vinyl inventory took up one whole room. We kind of just needed a shop.” For now, the storefront is more of a studio than a retail space. Schultz does hope to keep retail hours in the future but at this point he’s open by appointment only. “My dad’s been here a lot,” Schultz said, “because I’m trying to get a bean bag board inventory built up. And then he’s built frames for our prints. He’s usually here in the daytime. And then I usually get here everyday by 2 or 3.” Schultz is also busy dividing his time between his full-time job at Swiss Valley, where he works nights, and his roster of existing clients. Schultz creates vinyl lettering, business signage, automotive lettering, t-shirts, canvas prints and more. Some of his wall decal work can be seen at Creative Enz Salon and Spa in McGregor. Due to workload, Schultz says to expect a grand opening some time after the new year. Until then, Schultz Sign Co. is available by appointment. Clayton County Farm Bureau honored David Larson was presented Clayton County’s Farm Bureau recognition award at the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) annual meeting in Des Moines Dec. 1-2. IFBF President Craig Hill, right, made the presentation to Larson. Clayton County Farm Bureau received an outstanding designation for its 2015 programs which help further the story of agriculture to new audiences through many areas including policy development, policy implementation, communications, and strengthen the county Farm Bureau. Wednesday, December 16, 2015 | The Outlook 2 Soil & Water Conservation awards local farm families during annual awards banquet The Clayton Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) honored the outstanding conservation efforts of local farm families during the annual awards banquet held December 3, 2015 at FreedomBank in Elkader. This year’s award winners showcase a variety of conservation efforts, and each recipient provides an outstanding example of what we can do to protect the natural resources that we enjoy in northeast Iowa. The local awards program is cosponsored by the Clayton County Farm Bureau. Travis Landt received the 2015 Owner-Operator Award for the Clayton SWCD. His home farm includes 175 acres in Wagner and Monona townships in northwest Clayton County. Over the last seven years, Travis has implemented a combination of structural and management practices that reduce soil erosion and nutrient loss from his farm. Travis is the third generation of his family to own and operate their farm. The enterprise also includes several other tracts, most of which are farmed with a corn/soybean rotation. Travis first experimented with a no-till planting system in 1995, and has since expanded it to the majority of his crop acres. Fertilizer useage is based on improved technology. Application rates are varied across fields based on an intensive soil sampling program. Travis and his father Wayne constructed terraces for the first time in 2000. Their first terrace project was completed without cost share. Since 2007, the Landts have constructed nearly two and one half miles of new terraces through the Silver Creek Watershed Project. The terraces target steep cropland slopes and form an effective system of conservation practices when combined with notill planting. As Travis has added land to his farming operation, he has continually looked for ways to improve and protect his soil resource. Elmer & Theresa Bries, and Jared Lenth were selected for recognition in the Landlord/ Tenant Division for 2015. This division highlights the cooperation necessary to achieve the common goal of conserving our natural resources. The Bries farm includes 141 acres of cropland in Wagner Township west of Farmersburg. Jared and his father Jimmie have leased the farm for several years. The Bries farm reflects a long standing conservation ethic. Elmer constructed terraces on some of the steeper slopes beginning in 1995. By 2001, he had completed nearly two miles of terraces. In 2012, the Bries’ entered fourteen acres of critical slopes on the farm into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The CRP acres were seeded to a mix of native grasses and wildflowers, which protect shallow soils and provide excellent cover for wildlife. Jared grows corn and soybeans on the cropland acres. He maintains the contour lines, waterways, and terraces established by the Bries’, and utilizes a reduced tillage planting system. Corn and soybeans are planted with a no-till systems most years, however, some tillage is performed for continuous corn acres. The terraces, waterways, and contours installed by the Bries’, combined with the reduced tillage system utilized by Jared have created a very effective system of conservation practices. On September 24th, fortysix students from two local high schools gathered at the Motor Mill Historical site near Elkader for the 40th annual Clayton SWCD soil judging contest. Participants judged soil profiles, tested their pacing ability, and flagged contour lines. Individual and team winners were recognized at this year’s awards banquet. Bernard Hanson served as a Clayton SWCD Commissioner Clayton County Froelich U & I Club hosts Chrismas Board of Supervisors Potluck at regular meeting seeks applicants Terms of several appointees to various county boards and commissions expire on December 31, 2015.

After a delicious meal, Carol Marting told about her counted cross stitch items. She had many beautiful Christmas items on display. Laurie Kast presented Jean Smith with a pink elephant she had made. This will add to Jean’s collection of elephants which she can enjoy as she is retiring from the club after many years. Marilyn Baade had some Christmas games which made us think of a lot of Christmas song titles. Those enjoying the day were: Patty Buerger, Marilyn Baade, Jean Smith, Carol Marting, Laurie Kast, Joyce Hedeman, Suzanne Kaber, Ellen Jones, and one guest, Arlene Ferguson.

SOCIETY Wednesday, December 16, 2015 | The Outlook 4 Area Police Department warn local citizens of “419 Scam” The Elkader Police Department would like to remind everyone to use extreme caution when meeting people on the internet. Reports have been filed with us and neighboring police departments of citizens being defrauded money over the internet and through phone solicitations. The latest scam is called the 419 Scam. The scammer will use a dating site to make contact with someone and will then attempt to make the unsuspecting person think they have fallen in love with them. The criminal will then do one of two things. They will make up a horrific story and request the person send them money. Once the funds have been sent the criminal will stop talking to the victim. The second 419 Scam is the criminal will ask to send a check to the victim to cash. The victim will be told to keep some of the funds and send the rest to a friend of the criminal. The check will be fake and by the time it is returned to the bank, the criminal will not be able to be found and the victim will have to repay the money. The Elkader Police Department would like to remind everyone to watch the websites you and your family members log onto. These people often prey on the elderly and the disabled. We ask people to follow the following four rules. If something sounds to good to be true, it most likely is. Never respond to an email or phone call requiring you give your personal information. Never participate in any “Sale of Goods’, “Survey”, “Competition”, or “lottery or inheritance” scheme requiring you to send money or personal information over the phone. Lastly, if someone asks you to buy something or accept a check, first verify their information through the bank or Better Business Bureau. If you receive calls please take the information and notify your local law enforcement agency. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

One thing that has made the hours bearable has been radio shows and podcasts. If we’re not listening to old time radio shows like Jack Benny and Suspense, then we’re listening to National Public Radio programs. One of my favorite radio projects is called StoryCorps. StoryCorps’ mission is “to provide people of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share and preserve the stories of our lives.” Since 2003, they’ve had StoryBooths set up around the country where they’ve allowed everyday folks to walk in and interview their friends and relatives. And, more recently, StoryCorps has launched an app that makes recording history as easy as hitting a record button on your smart phone. I’ve always loved the idea of this. I don’t know about you but when I think of history I tend to think about what’s written in books. But of course we’re all living history every day. And it’s not always the big, national events that matter. Smaller, regional stories have importance as well.

Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice. Community here in Monona last week. I was there on a mission to collect stories for an upcoming holiday themed article. As I talked to a group of folks ranging in age from 75 to 104 it occurred to me how much history was in the room. While it may not be the history that gets written in textbooks, the stories are no less important or impactful. With the holidays coming up it’s a perfect time to start asking questions of the more senior members of our families. Questions as simple as what it was like when grandma was growing up can be quite enlightening … especially for the younger kids who haven’t known a life without cell phones. Try explaining a party line to them! Whether you record family stories for posterity or add them to your own memory bank, learning from each other’s history is a way to stay connected to each other and to our pasts.

Call 539-4554 The Outlook | Wednesday, December 16, 2015 9 MFL MarMac Stu Crew brings holiday spirit to many The MFL MarMac Middle School Stu Crew has had a busy holiday season already and has found many ways to bring the holiday spirit to the McGregor Center and give back to our communities at the same time! The first exciting addition to our building was a TV Announcement system in the Main Hallway. This TV displays a slideshow with updates, event & class information, and pictures of our students. For the past several years, the Stu Crew has been fundraising for this item and was finally able to purchase and install it this fall. All of the staff members are able to add their own slides to the presentation, making it a truly collaborative project! In mid November, all students in the building participated in our annual Holiday Cash & Coin Drive. Homerooms were each given the goal of raising $50, and those who met the goal were able to play in a Dodgeball tournament last week! Eleven of sixteen homerooms met the goal, and as a building we raised just shy of $850. The funds were divided across three different local causes: Shepherd of the Hills Holiday Shop, Angels Helping Angels, and the Samson Boylen Scholarship Fund. Representatives from the Stu Crew spent an afternoon purchasing gift items at Walmart including clothes and shoes, winter gear, toys and board games, movies and Xbox games, mP3 players, headphones and bluetooth speakers, iTunes Gift Cards, make up and hair accessories, jewelry, books, athletic balls, and more! The gifts have been delivered to two Angels in the community and Shepherd of the Hills in St. Olaf. Prior to the Holiday Train event, students in the McGregor Center brought in non-perishable food items to donate to the Clayton County Food Shelf. For each item donated, students were able to fill out a raffle ticket and enter the drawing for a new set of Dr. Dre Beats, iTunes gift cards, and candy canes! The Stu Crew purchased and donated these items to the raffle winners. Winner of the Beats was 7th grader Logan Brown. The iTunes gift cards went to 7th grader Ben Miene, 6th grader Annie Heins, and 5th grader Anabel Pagaza. Representatives from the Stu Crew delivered 2 suburban loads of donations to the Holiday Train site and stayed to enjoy the event as well! Each year the Stu Crew sponsors a tree at the Festival of Trees in McGregor, and this year we decided to display our Bulldog Spirit tree at the school and go with a new theme at the festival. Our theme for the year is “Why Fit in When You Were Born to Stand Out,” so our tree was adorned with flashing lights, bright and colorful ornaments, and neon colors galore! Last year, Stu Crew member Hanna Dickman, won a cash prize for her tree decorated for Maggie’s Diner. She generously donated her prize to the Stu Crew so we could purchase new ornaments this year. If you didn’t have time to stop at the festival, the tree is now on display near the main entrance of the McGregor Center. This group of 12 young people has worked extremely hard at being good leaders for the rest of the students at the McGregor Center and has had quite a successful year! As their sponsor, I am very proud of them! Shepherd of the Hills All Stu Crew members pose with the donations they were presenting to Shepherd of the hills.

Starters on the court were Bryar Ruff, Mason Hertramph, Tristen Kautman, Ty Hefmer and Cade Kuenster. Kautman was the top scorer with 26 points and four made shots from beyond the arc to lead the offense. Also in double figures were Hertrampf with 16, Kuenster with 15 and Hefner with 14 to round out the balanced scoring attack. Hertrampf added three treys and Hefner had two. Hefner had seven assists and Hertrampf and Kautman had five each. Kautman also made four of six shots from the charity stripe. Coach Eric Dettbarn said, “Against South Winn we probably played our best offensive game of the year. It was nice to have four kids in double figures and they all did a good job of sharing the basketball all game long.” Kuenster led the team with nine rebounds, Ruff had six and Hertrampf added five. Kuenster blocked two South Winn buckets and Ruff had one as well. About the defense, the Coach said, “Defensively, we really got hurt inside during the first half but we were able to make some adjustments at halftime which helped us play a much better game in the second half.” After the game he added, “The kids played with a lot of effort which allowed us to come away with our third victory in four games.” North Fayette Valley In another up and down battle, the Bulldogs took an early lead against North Fayette Valley, 16-10 after one, but the Tiger Hawks kept clawing back after the half, however, with great team effort, the Bulldogs would get the win by a score of 57-54. The Coach noted, “This game was a dog fight from the get go. Offensively, we were out of sink all night. But, we were able to play just well enough to come away with the three-point victory.” Kuenster was the leading scorer as he had 21 points on the night and Hertrampf and Kautman each pumped in 15. Hefner added six to round out the scoring. Hertrampf had three shots from downtown, Hefner added two and Kautman had one long ball.

Ruff had two blocked shots as did Kuenster. About the defensive, Dettbarn said, “On a night when you are struggling at the offensive end, you have to make plays on the defensive end to make up for it. I thought, for the most part, we did that.” After the game, he added, “It was a very exciting game throughout that ended with us making a last second three by Hefner to get our fourth win.” This week the Bulldogs travel to Postville on Tuesday and have a home game with Ed-Co on Friday. Girls split with South Winneshiek and North Fayette Valley Chad drahn Outlook sports South Winn The Bullodg girls faced a strong South Winn team last Tuesday, and although they had a three point lead after one quarter, and were leading at the break, they would end up losing a hard-fought battle 45-41. Coach Ashley Sickles said, “The game started out well for the Bulldogs. We had a nice lead at the half. Unfortunately, the Warriors came out in the second half red hot and we were unable to answer. We were out-scored in the second half 17-28.” Hayley Vogt had 16 points to lead the scoring attack, Chaun’te Drahn and Kyleigh Picha added seven each. Kayla Keehner aided the offense with seven assists and Vogt had two. Others with assists were Jasmine Stocker, Picha and Kennedy McShane who each had one. About the offense, the coach noted, “Offensively, we struggled making both inside and outside shots throughout the game.” Defensively, Drahn had seven rebounds as did McShane. Vogt had four, Keehner added three, Aspen Havlicek, Kylie Moose, Rebecca Harms and Picha grabbed two boards each. Drahn had three blocked shots and Harms and McShane also each blocked a South Winn shot. Sickles explained, “Defensively, we played the Warriors in a man defense. The game plan was to put pressure on the Warrior guards to make them have to handle the ball. Rebounding hurt us in this game as we allowed too many second chance shots.” North Fayette Valley Friday night the girls played North Fayette Valley where they got back on the winning track. The coach noted, “Going into the game our focus was to come out with energy and set the game tempo. We started the game playing man to man, but after the Tiger Hawks had several made shots inside the paint, we switched to a 2-3 zone.” With the score tied at the half, the girls out-scored the Tiger Hawks in both the third and fourth quarters Holiday Hours staff at ays from the Happy Holid k of Monona FreedomBan Thurs.

Drahn and McShane had four assists each while Vogt, Allsion Corlett and Keehner each had two. Explaining the offense, Coach Sickles said, “We ran a zone offense to work on moving the ball around the court to breakdown their defense. The Bulldogs did a good job of attacking the zone and finding open players on the court. Keehner really stepped up knocking down shots and bringing the ball up the court. Josie Kleinow, who played in her first varsity game, gave us solid minutes in the second half and was a key defensive player as she was able to use her height to help challenge shots.” Defensively, Drahn had two blocked shots and freshman Josie Kleinow had one. This week the girls were slated to play Postville on Tuesday and travel to Crestwood on Thursday. They will host Ed-Co on the Bulldog court Friday night. chad drahn outlook sports North Linn Quad The Bulldog wrestlers had a very busy week and the coaches noted the team handled it very well.

The coach said, “ It was nice to wrestle a single dual in McGregor. It is a good atmosphere there where the fans are right on top of the competition. We knew the dual would be close as they have a nice team so we had our hands full. We just needed a few guys to step up. Kordell DuCharme got things started with a fall and Egan and Corlett had two tough opponents but we wrestled with some toughness in those matches. Olson got things started at 138 with a fall and Burke and Johanningmeier added to that with a pair of falls which kept the momentum going. Fletcher wrestled a tough match and got caught with and over under throw at 182. We wrestled hard for 6 minutes but only gave up a decision which is huge in this kind of dual as all the points really matter. The match of the night came down at 195 where Brady Miller took the decision for the win which really was the turning point in the dual.
