SCOTT SCHULTE
OUTLOOK EDITOR
“I never stop missing Duane.”
That’s what Deb Evanson said
about the suicide of her brother,
closing a sad chapter on another
person struck down by mental
illness.
Duane had schizophrenia for as
long as Evanson knew her younger
brother. She has always made it her
mission in life to help those around
her.
Evanson has always felt good
about the jobs she has carried. The
life and untimely death of Duane
led Evanson find to different jobs.
Those jobs always have had one
common thread. They have to do
with working with others.
My brother lived with
schizophrenia, which became worse
History, Science, and Art at
school. Some fave books of hers
are "Sweethearts", "Backlash",
"Artichoke's Heart", "Revenge of
the Girl with the Great Personality".
In her future Hannah would like
to go for at least a 2 year degree,
hopefully 4 years to get her
Bachelor's Degree, possibly at
UNI or ISU. Because she loves
kids, she'd like to be a 1st grade or
elementary teacher or possibly just
teaching math. She also would like
to be a volleyball or track coach and
have a family!
Macie Weigand is in track,
softball, HYPE, 4-H, and she shows
beef cattle across the midwest.
She enjoys studying Pre-Algebra,
Math Concepts, and Science, but
especially Pre-Algebra. A couple of
her favorite books are "Girl Stolen"
and "Legend" and "Out of the Dust".
In her future, Macie wants to major
in Agricultural Business and Animal
Science to become an animal
nutritionist! She'd also like to own a
herd of about 200 head of Chi Angus
cattle and a few Herefords!
Evanson carries on her brother’s legacy
after a traumatic experience.
“I saw what he was going
through and I wanted to help him”
she said. “It was brutal on him.
He couldn’t hold a job. What he
could do, however, was paint. One
painting, a portrait of the Governor
of Illinois Duane gave away as a
gift.
“My brother was so talented,”
Evanson said.
Evanson did help her brother
as much as possible until he died.
She currently works at the Monona
Pharmacy and as a part time school
bus driver for MFL MarMac.
“These are great jobs” Evanson
said. “As a bus driver I know I may
be the only smile some kids see all
day.”
“Leaving them with a good
feeling in the morning is wonderful.
Just as simple as giving a high five
can go a long way.”
Christine Bee may not have
noticed, but she smiled widely
last Monday afternoon as people
gathered for the ground breaking
of the addition to the Murphy
Helwig Library. It’s been a long
time coming, but with the ground
breaking, the addition is officially
underway.
“I’m excited,” Bee said. “I’m a
little nervous because we want to
keep the momentum of the services
continuing.”
Brent Formanek, the general
manager of the project from
Brenton Buildings will oversee the
construction of the library project.
Talking with Formanek, one can see
him visualizing the addition to the
library when he speaks.
“I’m excited to get started,”
Formanek said. “We’re going to
create a place where everyone can
come and read.”
Monona resident Mary Ann
Koehn, sees the way the addition to
the library will enhance life in this
community. “It’s fantastic!,” she
said. “It’s great for the community
and also surrounding towns. This
will be a great addition.”
One of the concerns about
the construction had to do with
the summer reading program, a
successful program for your people
in the community. Director of this
program, Heidi Feuerhelm, had
great news about this program.
“Fire chief Dave Smith has
graciously offered the meeting room
at the fire station for the summer
reading program,” Feuerhelm said.
“It’s just across the street and with
the children seeing the library
which should keep them excited as
well.”
City Council member Dan
Havlicek said, “It’s awesome. The
library board did a great job. Many
people worked very hard to get us to
this point.”
The addition is expected to take
about a year. See photo on page 2.

Accidents
On May 6 at 6:39 a.m. Crystal
Rohner, 20 Guttenberg, was
traveling north on Highway 52
when she passed a slower moving
vehicle on the south Guttenberg
hill. Coming back into her own
lane, Rohner’s 1996 Pontiac went
onto the road shoulder and struck
a guard rail, causing $3,000 in
damages to the vehicle. Rohner
was charged with having no valid
license.
A May 5 accident occurred

60, Guttenberg, hit a deer in
the roadway, causing $2,000
in damages to his 1999 Chevy
Suburban.
Another May 5 accident
occurred at 9 p.m. on Faucet
Road. Keri Chapman, 40, Elkport,
was coming over a hill when she
attempted to change the radio
station in her vehicle. Her 2000
Chevy Blazer went off the roadway
and entered the ditch, causing
$5,000 in damages. Chapman was
charged with failure to have control.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service is awaiting test results to
determine the cause of death for
American coot and lesser scaup
collected last week from Pools 9
and 10 of the Mississippi River. The
waterfowl are being tested at the
National Wildlife Health Center in
Madison, Wis.
Officials do not suspect avian
influenza.
Since last week, waterfowl by
the hundreds have been found dead
in the Mississippi River pools 7, 8,
9, and 10. The vast majority killed
were American coot and lesser
scaup, but some bluewing teal and
canvasbacks were also found.
This is the sixth time since
2002 that waterfowl die offs have
been documented on the Upper
Mississippi River and each time
prior, trematodes were responsible.
Trematodes are a parasitic
flatworm that spends part of its life
stage inside snails. Waterfowl die
from trematoedes each year but in
years when snail populations are
high, mortality rates of snail eaters
– American coots and lesser scaup
at this location – increases as well.
Waterfowl have succumbed
to trematodes in Pools 7, 8 or 9
on the Mississippi River in 2002,
2003, 2004, 2005 and 2012, and
periodically in other lakes and
streams around the Midwest.
The invasive faucet snail is an
intermediate host for three types of
trematodes and is likely the source
of the current outbreak.
Chief Smith offers good news and ideas for fire safety
scott shulte
outlook editor
Good news from Fire Chief
Dave Smith. The recent rain fall has
reduced the danger of wild fires.
With more rain in the forecast,
Clayton County should continue
to see a reduction in the wild fire
warnings.
“We’ve received a significant
amount of rain,” Smith said. “This
rain has been real helpful in easing
the fire hazard.”
While the region is more
saturated, Smith was quick to point
out the importance of everything
from common sense to keeping an
eye of children around fires.
“Every year we have one of two
children get burned because of lack
of supervision,” Smith said. “Adults
need to keep an eye on children any
time fire is involved.”
In addition to keeping children
safe, it is important to know some
basic fire prevention. This is
wisdom for people of all ages.
“It sounds basic, but it’s true,”
Smith said. “Build a fire pit and
keep the fire in it.”
On many occasions, especially
in a camp fire pit, people can just let
the flames burn itself out overnight.
However, it’s important to know
what kind of weather might be
coming in overnight.
Most of the time a fire will burn
itself out,” Smith said. “If there are
high winds or a storm warning, it’s
best to put out the fire completely.
The winds can carry ashes out of
the fire and cause fires in other
locations.”
Genealogical Society
purchase building
The Clayton County
Genealogical Society purchased
Bud and Myra Voss’ real estate
building located at 119 N. Main
Street in Elkader on April 28. The
late Oakland and Irene Becker of
Guttenberg, former Genealogical
Society members, bequeathed estate
money to a trust, for the purpose
of finding a suitable location for
the Society’s genealogy records.
As per the Beckers’ wishes, the
records will now be preserved and
made available to the general public
at this permanent location. The
Becker Center will be open on a
part-time basis after renovations
inside the building are completed.
Bud and Myra Voss receive a check from Helen Medberry, treasurer,
and Jim Steele, Sr., president of the Clayton County Genealogical
Society.

Monona to Receive $500,000 Community Development Block Grant Hoth & Weller to exchange vows
At its May 4 meeting, the
Monona City Council was informed
that a letter was received April 21
from Iowa Economic Development
Authority (IEDA) stating that it
intends to conditionally award
the city of Monona a Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG)
in an amount not to exceed
$500,000 for Phase II Sanitary
Sewer Improvement Project. The
award is conditioned on IEDA
receiving final grant award from
United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
It was also explained that the
project can’t go to bid until CDBG
Funds have actually been released
which is anticipated to happen in
late June or possibly July. It was
further noted by an April 23rd
email communication that Iowa
DNR would work with the city if an
extension is needed for compliance
with proposed project construction
timeline as it relates to DNR
Administrative Consent Order that
was issued March 27th.
Committee representatives Jesse
Schubert and Rogeta Halvorson
provided the Council with a site
map of the June 19-20, 2015 Hay
Days events and explained all
proposed activities. One block of
Depue Street adjacent to City Park
will need to be closed Friday night
for the Glow Run. One block of
West Center St., one block of East
Center St. and the City Hall parking
lot in the downtown business
district will need to be closed
Friday night, Saturday and Sunday
morning to accommodate food
stands/planned events. A portion
of North Main will be closed
Saturday morning after parade for
classic car/truck show and kiddie
tractor pull. Main St. will be open
to traffic in afternoon. The parade
route was confirmed for South
Main, East Iowa and South Egbert
Street. The Council unanimously
voted to approve street closures as
identified on the map, provide city
fences/traffic cones, provide city
park picnic tables, pay rental cost
for six porta-potties and authorize
operation of golf carts and ATV’s
on city streets for the glow run and
along parade route.
Council members voted
to approve a Standard AIA
‘Construction Agreement’ in an
amount of $704,481 with Brenton
Builders, LLC for MurphyHelwig Library Addition and
Renovation Project. Appropriate
‘Performance Bond’ and ‘Payment
Bond’ documents were signed
and provided to the city as well.
City council members Blietz and
Meyer agreed to serve on the
Library Project Committee that
would include the head librarian, a
member of library board of trustees
and city administrator. Committee
would be authorized to consider
and make decisions that might be
needed during construction. Major
decisions and work order changes
etc. would still require city council
and library board approval.
A resolution calling for a public
hearing on the proposed sale of
Monona Commercial Park Lot was
approved by the Council. The City
of Monona previously agreed to
terms with ‘The Overland Group’
for the sale of an irregularly shaped
parcel of land located within Lot
4 of Monona Commercial Park.
The parcel is situated immediately
Northwest of Davis Street Auto
Wash although a precise legal
description will be determined
by a ‘Plat of Survey’ as required.
Per Iowa Code, a public hearing
must also be held by the City
Council prior to taking final action
approving ‘Purchase and Sale
Contract’.
Chief Dave Smith briefly
reviewed the April 2015 Monona
Fire Department (MFD) Report.
Smith mentioned that the MFD has
responded to multiple area grass
fires again recently. He commented
that the new John Deere Gator has
been invaluable in fighting grass
fires.
Costs to replace a long narrow
portion of pavement adjacent to
306 South Anderson Street were
discussed. The cost to remove
settled concrete, install rebar and
pour/finish new concrete by city
maintenance staff was estimated at
$2,322. It was noted that proposed
repair was not included in current
city street budget. At the conclusion
of comments, it was the consensus
of the Council to wait with street
work as there are several other
street locations and storm water
intake structures that need attention.
Council members were informed
that notification was received April
23, 2015 from the State Revolving
Fund (SRF) that Monona’s proposed
permeable paver improvements
for Bulldog Boulevard has been
recommended for funding as part
of SRF Clean Water Resources
Restoration ‘Sponsored Project’
Program. Final approval and
related details will be forthcoming
from Patti Cale-Finnegan, SRF
coordinator for Iowa DNR.
Administrator Canton provided
a first draft of proposed Inflow
& Infiltration inspection notice
that will need to be mailed to all
city sanitary sewer accounts. A
sample I&I Brochure as prepared
by IIW engineering staff was also
discussed. It was suggested that
brochure be printed on 8 ½ “x 11”
paper instead of larger sheet. A
suggestion was also made to inspect
one area or quadrant of Monona
at a time and then move on to the
next targeted area when completed.
Council members Havlicek and
Meyer indicated they would be
willing to perform the inspections.
Inspection and compliance forms
will also need to be prepared.
Upon review of materials, it was
consensus of the Council to proceed
with preparation of inspection
information as discussed and
initiate inspection program mailing
for northeast quadrant of Monona.
Upon the recommendation
of Mayor Collins, Deputy Clerk
Gullickson and Administrator
Canton, it was moved by Blietz,
seconded by Schubert, to approve
hiring Sophie Landt for utility
billing and administrative office
assistant position for thirty-two
hours per week at a starting wage
of $12.00 per hour. The motion
carried unanimously.
Administrator Canton provided
an explanation of proposed
amendments to FY2014-2015
City Budget along with public
hearing notice that would appear
in May 6th issue of The Outlook.
It appears expenses in four
categories would exceed budgeted
numbers. Public safety ($20,000),
public works ($10,000), sewer
enterprise fund ($30,000) and
economic development ($8,000)
were identified on public hearing
notice. Increases in police staffing,
additional repairs needed for
streets/lift station pumps and
contribution to Monona Chamber
& Economic Development were the
reasons for increased costs. The
Council unanimously approved the
budget amendments as proposed
and authorized the publication of
hearing notice as presented.
The following Mayor/Council/
Clerk notes were also presented:
It was confirmed by the Council
that the city should proceed with
installation of a weather station and
omni site equipment at WWTP/
lift stations as discussed at April
20, 2015 council meeting. The
equipment is required by Iowa DNR
in order to monitor rainfall/weather
as part of Phase II Sanitary Sewer
Improvement Project
Provisions of a renewal contract
with PeopleService for operating
Monona Wastewater and Water
operations will be available
for Council consideration at
asubsequent Council meeting
Administrator Canton will
meet with Innovative Ag Services
(IAS) engineer Ryan Wicks of Fehr
Graham to review proposed plans
for construction of a storm water
retention basin in northeast area of
Block 16 as part of IAS grain bin
storage and grain handling upgrade
project
Installation of banners/banner
brackets for downtown decorative
street lights was suggested by
administrator Canton. Prices and
cost estimates will be obtained for
Council consideration

Yellow River summertime adventures
SCOTT SCHULTE
OUTLOOK EDITOR
It was a hot summer day when
Marcy Palmer watched a woman
and her grandson as they finished
the tubing ride on the Yellow River.
The experience has remained seared
into Palmer’s mind.
“It was great,” Palmer said.
“This woman and her grandson
were finishing up their ride down
the river and the little boy said,
‘Grandma! Can we do it again?!”
This is just another example how
a simple idea called Big Foot Canoe
Rental has become one of Iowa’s
favorite day trip destinations.
“We lived on the Yellow River
and we had always been asked if
we could shuttle people when they
would ride down the river,” Palmer
said. “So we started this business
with six canoes in 2002 after our
two sons were on their own.”
The business has grown on
its own since the first canoe was
dipped into the river. The numbers
don’t lie.
“We’re now up to 45 kayaks, 30
canoes and 40 tubes,” Palmer said.
People who choose to spend a
few hours on the river are certainly
in for a combination of relaxation
and a rush of adrenaline. The
Yellow River is the fastest moving
river in the state with rock bottom
terrain with some areas of limestone
bluffs. The water is so clear that in
most places people can see the fish
swimming beneath them.
“We’ve had people tell us how
the fish sometimes bump right into
the kayaks,” Palmer said. “It’s a
beautiful thing. There are places
where it’s very calm and relaxing
and then there are natural drops and
those shoots rapids.”
It’s not just taking a ride down
the river that pulls people to Big
Foot Canoe Rental.
“The trout fishing is very
popular,” Palmer said. “In fact,
the upper part of the river is well
known for its trout fishing.”
Palmer added that while the river
itself offers a fun day, the scenery is
often something people talk about.
“People are very surprised at how
beautiful it is along the river.”
Riding the rapids is a specialty
for those on the Yellow River.
A group of people gets ready for a trip on the Yellow River.
Hay Days set for June 19-20, 2015
SCOTT SCHULTE
OUTLOOK EDITOR
In just five weeks, the residents
of Monona will spend a weekend
enjoying the activities of the annual
Hay Day’s celebration. Hay Day’s
committee chair, Jess Shubert, and
Chamber of Commerce President
Rogeta Halvorson spoke to the City
Council about the diverse activities
that will occur around downtown
over town on June 19 and 20.
“Friday night will be the glow
run,” Shubert said. “It’s a popular
activity and there will be one mile
and three mile courses so that
families can enjoy the evening.”
The glow sticks are part of the
registration. The cost is $20 for ages
12 and above while those ages 7-11
the cost is $10. All proceeds from
this event will be donated to the fire
department.
Much of downtown will be cloed
off on that Saturday to create a safe
environment for everyone.
Saturday morning will kick off
the annual parade and pancake
breakfast with the classic cars and
trucks on display on Main Street.
There will be other activities and
Halvorson praised local businesses
for making this event possible.
“This 2015 event has all come
about thanks to dozens of local
volunteers, sponsors, and notfor-profit groups stepping up and
coming together,” Halvorson said.
“This will bring back to downtown
a variety of fun, activities, food,
and entertainment with a nostalgic
festive flair. We’re ready to handle
a large crowd and expect to attract
more newcomers this year thanks
to a broader marketing reach and
growing social media base.”
The Hay Day committee will
still gladly accept more for the
Children have not been lost
on this occasion, as there will be
an area set-aside for the younger
crowd.
“There will be two bounce
houses, one that is an obstacle
course,” Shubert said. “We also
have a few other games especially
for children. This will be a fun time
for the younger residents.”
According to Shubert there are
so many people have come together
to make this even possible. Some
of those included are Halvorson,
Shubert, Ali Werger, Dave Smith
Jeremy Schellhorne, and Jason
Shubert.

National Wildlife Refuges Explore Livestock Grazing Opportunities
The Upper Mississippi River
National Wildlife and Fish Refuge,
McGregor District and the Driftless
Area National Wildlife Refuge
(Refuges) are hoping to utilize
livestock grazing to control invasive
plants. The Refuges are exploring
grazing options in two areas: one
near Farmersburg, IA and the other
in the Upper Iowa River area near
and New Albin, IA.
The Refuges are looking for
producers interested in contributing
to invasive plant control efforts
through grazing of their livestock.
Producers will be responsible for
the fencing, watering, and transport
of animals.
Invasive plants such as reed
canary grass and Japanese hops
threaten native biodiversity by
outcompeting native species, posing
serious management challenges.
Prescribed grazing by cattle,
goats, or sheep have been used on
other National Wildlife Refuges
to combat the spread of invasive
species. Grazing as a control
strategy has the added benefit of
providing additional forage to local
livestock producers.

Sometimes you just have to laugh
at yourself. Since moving here six
weeks ago, I have had a few of those
moments primarily because this part
of the country is very different than
the Tri-State area (New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut).
Since I can navigate New York
City, I assumed getting from point A
to point B in Iowa would be a cinch.
I headed out to run some errands
and quickly learned it is very
possible to get lost in Iowa. What
should have been an hour trip turned
into one of three hours. You may be
shaking your heading wondering
how someone could get that lost,
well, I shook my head, too with a few
verbal outbursts along the way.
This made me realize that I am
not near as smart as I once thought.
Here is another thing…I was
approached by a few people and
they asked if I was interested
in mushrooms. Mushrooms? I
informed these people that I didn’t
use drugs. Quickly, I was told
about morel mushrooms. Wow, I
had no idea how important these
veggies are in this area. My friends
are going out “hunting” for these
mushrooms and there was no
way they were bringing me along
since the places where they find
their mushrooms is completely
under lock and key. So I’ll wait
impatiently for my mushrooms.
I’m also getting use to guns and
hunting. I completely support the
right to own guns, but I’m so clumsy
I don’t have any in my home. I
appreciate all of the food I get from
friends who are avid hunters, but I
can’t be around when the gutting
and skinning are underway.
When I lived in Utah, some
buddies of mine were skinning
some creature they’d hunted down.
Not wanting to look like a sissy, I
remained in the area where they
were taking care of business. My
friends proceeded to gut the animal
and I saw its insides dump out
in a pool of blood. Here’s what I
remember after that:
“Scott,” one friend was saying,
“you awake?” Yes, I had fainted.
Even when I was awakened, my
senses were completely lost to the
gizzards that lay in a heap. It also
smelled awful.
You see, I love Iowa. I mentioned
recently to a family member that
I don’t see myself ever moving
away from this area. Even with the
possibility of getting lost again,
misunderstanding mushrooms
and maybe even fainting while an
animal gets gutted in my presence, I
love Iowa.
Until further notice, I will eat the
food from hunting…you just have to
do the dirty work.

MFL MarMac Bulldogs host boys’ track meet last week
SCOTT SCHULTE
The MFL MarMac boy’s track
team hosted its last meet for the
season. To say the team held it
best for the last meet would be an
understatement of monumental
proportions.
“The guys all did a great job
today,” said Coach Dan Anderson.
“With so many big schools here I
talked to the guys about focusing on
doing their best.”
The team was definitely
listening.
The 4x800 relay team knocked
off a whopping 25 seconds off their
previous best winning in a time
of 8:49. The team was made up of
senior Chase Strub, junior Ashton
Houg, senior Bryce Decker and
sophomore Riley Doeppke.
The senior 4x400 team of
Strub, Austin Schoulte, Decker and
Isaac Sauer ran to a season best of
3:40.29.
Peaking at the right time, the
shuttle relay team placed second
with a time of 1:03.60. The team
consisted of junior Bryce Burke,
sophomore David Bradford, senior
Liam Ruff and Schoulte.
Schoulte also ran a personal
best time of 15.89 in the 110 high
hurdles.
400 M dash runners Marcy
Klein and Chaun’te Drahn give it
their all during the Upper Iowa
Conference Meet.

The sprints have been the best for
the Bulldogs all season.
Hayley Vogt is a strong entry in
the 100 meter dash while the 4x400
meter relay with its team of Vogt,
Chaun’te Drahn, Marcy Klein, and
Kennedy McShain are also strong.
On the boy’s side, coach Dan
Anderson is facing the same
situation as Holt in being in the
toughest divisional in the state.
“We’re a long shot,” Anderson
said. “I’ve told the guys that it
will be a tough meet, but the good
competition makes you compete on
a higher level.”
The shuttle relay, medley relay,
high jump and 110 high hurdles
look to be the best chances for the
Bulldogs to succeed.
