Committee advisesFebruary bond vote

MV wants to keepcurrent tax rate

Nathan CountrymanSun news

The ball is now in the Lisbon SchoolBoard’s court to continue pursuing fa-cility improvements.

The school’s facilities committee asit laid out its recommendations for fa-cility upgrades and advised the districtto aim for a bond vote in February.

The committee also asked the schoolto help with the legal language neededfor the petition for those improve-

ments to be made. The deadline to re-turn that petition to the board with ad-equate signatures is Dec. 22, for aspecial election Feb. 6.

Superintendent Pat Hocking andboard members Allan Mallie and MarcWhitman talked with the school’s at-torney to get the language for a bondvote, and will present that to the boardfor approval at a special meeting in thenear future.

Ann Gruber-MillerSun news

Mount Vernon’s school board wantsto stay with the district’s current taxlevy when they put together a newbond issue in the near future to meet fa-cilities needs. Board members agreedon that plan at their Nov. 29 meetingwith their financial advisor, MattGillaspie of Piper Jaffrey and Co.

Gillaspie told the board it could raiseabout $12.8 million net, after bondingcosts, while keeping the overall prop-

erty tax rate the same. The informationwas offered in a summary of infrastruc-ture finance scenarios with the dis-claimer that many assumptions weremade.

“I think we’d have support if wekept (the levy amount) stable,” saidboard member Mark Weldon.

“This is good,” said board memberDenise Brannaman. “I think people seeour needs. We’ve done our homework.

After what many guess is over 100years of use, it didn’t surprise anyonethat the characters in the Sts. Peter andPaul Chapel Nativity scene needed re-pair.

The harder part for Sts. Peter andPaul Historical Foundation presidentJean Litts was the project itself andfinding the best person for the job.

Or, in this case, the best two people.Bill Faoro and Leona Smith of MountVernon were selected by Litts, and thehusband and wife duo assessed theproject they were being handed.

The former Catholic church, locatedjust south of Mount Vernon-Lisbon,turned 100 earlier this year, and hadused this Nativity scene as far back asthe most elderly of its elders can re-member.

Two things Faoro is fairly certain ofare that it’s “gotta be 100 years old,”and “it’s gotta be imported.”

The 14 pieces that make up the Na-tivity were badly in need of refurbish-ment. For years, they had been stored

The Lisbon fifth-gradestudent council is run-ning a food drive, withall non-perishable fooditems going to the South-east Linn CommunityCenter.

Members of the stu-dent council sent a flyerhome with every student,and promoted the drivewith posters in the hall-ways and announce-ments from the office.

A couple times aweek, the seven fifth-graders visit every class-room from preschool tosixth grade, collecting do-nated items and tallyingresults.

The first time they col-lected more than 300 cansand boxes – about threetimes more than they ex-pected for the full drive.

“We knew even if itwas just 100, thatwould still begood,” KaylaRies said.

“ W ed i d n ’ tknow thekids couldbring in thatmuch,” said fifth-grader Kaitlynn Hassel-busch.

There’s a bit of a com-petition going on, and theclass that gives the most

gets a prize. “The prize is movie

and pizza,” fifth-graderSarah Dietsch said. “Iknow I love that.”

All agreed, though,that the students

are making thecontribution

for its owns a k e ,rather thanfor the

prize. Theysaid part of the

reason for doing thedrive is to help SELCC,recognizing its work withOperation Backpack.

The Lisbon CityCouncil passed the firstreading updating ordi-nances for water andsewer connection feeson new construction.

The fees will be in-creased from $100 eachto $200.

To become law, twomore readings need tobe approved, as well asthe ordinances pub-lished in the newspaper.

City administratorConnie Meier shared

that staff had learnedthat Mount Vernon’swater and sewer connec-tion fees are $500 each.

Meier said that a feeof $200 each wouldcover the costs of theparts for the city tomonitor the sewer andwater connection fornew construction, andthat this only applies tonewly constructed con-nections in the city.

The first reading wasapproved unanimously,and there was no com-ment during the publichearing.

Washington StreetCity engineer David

Schechinger broughtback information on thechange orders fromRicklefs Excavating forwork on WashingtonStreet.

Ricklefs was willingto knock off $2,040 fromthe price tag, bringingthe cost for change or-ders to the project downto $16,810.

City council memberDoug O’Connor asked ifthe council should writesomething in futurecontracts that says if

there is an unforesee-able circumstance thatcontributes to down-time, that the city wouldnot pay for that cost.

Council memberNathan Smith said thelanguage should reflectthat the contractor couldcharge the city at costfor outages, but nothigher than that.

Opinion Dec. 7, 2017 Page A4Mount Vernon-Lisbon Sun

Afresh set of eyes. Leadershipin spite of past controversy.

Mount Vernon city administratorChris Nosbisch embodies both ofthose attributes, and should be ap-plauded for his message: How canwe make the Hwy. 30 roundaboutseven better?

Nosbisch recently approachedthe city council – your elected offi-cials – with a plan to use a profes-sional firm to improve theroundabouts here. They are at theHwy. 30 intersections with Hwy. 1and 10th Avenue.

The traffic control devices werecontroversial in 2012-13. When theywere planned about five years ago,some said the money would be bet-ter spent on other street projects inthe city. Others questioned howwell roundabouts worked.

In fact, the issue was so big it be-came the No. 1 matter in a city elec-tion.

The stats show that roundaboutswork when the goal is to move traf-fic. That’s why the state granted theCity of Mount Vernon money to putthem in – the state recognized thatidling traffic at a stop sign or stoplight results in more emissions, butroundabouts reduce emissions bykeeping traffic moving.

We’ve all witnessed the effect.The former four-way stop at Hwys.30 & 1 kept cars and trucks and

semis idle for much longer than thecurrent roundabouts.

But we’ve also all seen the chal-lenges with the roundabouts.

Some people don’t know how touse them altogether. Some incor-rectly use them.

They aren’t perfect, and weshould all be grateful that MountVernon’s city leadership recognizesthat.

It’s not that the roundabouts arebad. Rather, it’s about how to makethem even better.

Some ideas:

• Improve signage: There shouldbe big and bold signs ahead of theintersections that say “roundaboutahead.” There should be directionalsignage that shows what “exits”from the roundabouts lead towhere.

• More defined aprons: There areconcrete aprons on Mount Vernon’sroundabouts that essentially serveas a “spill over” for traffic. In otherwords, if you can’t make the curve,you can drive onto the apron. Thecurrent aprons aren’t well distin-guished from the roadway. Make

them a more distinct color to telldrivers this is an area that isn’t theprimary roadway.

• How many lanes are there: TheHwys. 30 and 1 roundabout is two-lane. But not really. Traffic controlexperts should help the city deter-mine how traffic should best flow,and make pavement markings andsignage to make that clear.

How will our roundabouts beviewed and used once the Hwy. 30bypass is constructed in a fewyears?

That question is yet to be an-swered.

The city council on Mondaytabled hiring a firm to help improvethe situation. Yet, council membersappear poised to do so.

We urge them to continue to keepthis issue in the forefront.

Investments in Hwy. 30 roundaboutsimprovement the right move for city

After the Senate recently ap-proved their version of thecontroversial tax reform bill,

Sen. Chuck Grassley tried to explainto the Des Moines Register why thevery rich deserve to pass on theirwealth to their heirs untaxed.

“I think not having the estate taxrecognizes the people that are invest-ing,” Grassley said. “As opposed tothose that are just spending everydarn penny they have, whether it’son booze or women or movies.”

Mr. Grassley appears to be mak-ing certain assumptions here – firstof all, that taxpayers are all men.Then there is the suggestion thatwomen are commodities that can bepurchased. And he implies thatwomen are expensive. Are we thento conclude that men can be had forless? Just because we are notwomen, does that mean men growon trees? (Actually, that is a claimI’ve heard before.)

Throughout his seven-termtenure in the Senate, Mr. Grassleyhas been a champion of fiscal re-sponsibility. In 2006, he sought to ad-dress sex trafficking by requiringprostitutes and pimps to file aproper W-2 form with their taxes. Sonow when Grassley tells us thatwomen are expensive, we know he’snot just whistling Dixie.

I’d be curious how women feelabout Grassley placing them on thesame level as booze and movies. Ormaybe he is suggesting that somepeople (meaning “men”) cannotcontrol their weakness for booze,women and movies and that ex-plains their endless cycle of poverty.Personally, I don’t drink much and Idon’t spend money on women (mywife will testify to that.) Who knewthat getting rich would be as easy ascancelling Netflix?

As you can imagine, many wereoutraged at Grassley’s comments,arguing that they had to work hardjust to pay the rent and put food onthe table, and that if they had troublemaking ends meet, it wasn’t becausethey squandered their money. (Note:I am not in any way suggesting thatspending money on women wouldbe squandering.)

The senator complained that hiswords were misinterpreted. “Mypoint regarding the estate tax,” hesaid, “which has been taken out ofcontext, is that the governmentshouldn’t seize the fruits of some-body’s lifetime of labor after theydie.” Who does Grassley think he’skidding? Seizing our fruits is the fed-eral government’s primary occupa-tion.

To reward the rich for being richby making them richer probablymakes sense to a millionaire likeGrassley. It sounds like the oldCalvinist notion that prosperity is asign that Heaven rewards the virtu-ous with wealth. And by implica-tion, poor people who fritter awaytheir money (as if we all start outwith the same amount) instead of in-vesting it wisely, deserve to live inpoverty. How dare those profligatepoor people blow their money onfood, the mortgage and their chil-dren’s shoes instead of investing inmutual funds like any responsibleperson!

Checking the Internet, I see thatIBM stock is currently trading at$155 a share. That sounds a littlepricey to me. On the other hand,“Guardians of the Galaxy” rents foronly $3.99. And Blue Moon beer ison sale. I think my wife and I willsettle in for a nice evening in front ofthe TV. Yeah, I know. I’m a bigspender.

Why the poor arepoor: it̓ s all the booze,women and movies

Sun Editorial

We had the easiesti m m i g r a t i o nprocess the United

States has – adopting for-eign-born children andbringing them to this greatcountry.

Yet, it’s a challengewrought with contradictions.

It makes me wonder:Elected officials like to talkabout “immigration reform,”but do they REALLY under-stand what that means? Dothey realize how difficult it isto come to this country, evenin the easiest of circum-stances?

Our story is shared bymany in Mount Vernon-Lis-bon. It’s one of internationaladoption.

There’s a process to bringkids home to their foreverfamilies. And federal lawmakes it clear: Once a for-eign-born child is legallyadopted by an American cit-izen (legally, as in there’s acourt hearing), that child isofficially an American citi-zen.

But there’s always a but.The child isn’t officially offi-cial until he has aCertificate ofC i t i z e n s h i p .That’s an en-tirely differentprocess.

We buckedthe system foryears withour two chil-dren whowere adopted from Korea –Sonny and Eli. We held ontoprinciple: The law says theyare U.S. citizens because theywere legally adopted by Nikiand me, who are U.S. citi-zens. The court documentsshould be proof enough.

But if you don’t pay up(the current fee is $1,170),don’t do the required paper-work and don’t show up tothe U.S. Citizenship and Im-migration Services (Iowa’s isin Des Moines), you’re onlysort of a citizen. You can’tapply for college financialaid, for example.

I’m recovering from an introvert’sworst nightmare: a sold-out show.

The McElroy brothers, creators ofone of my favorite podcasts, “MyBrother, My Brother and Me,” held arecent tour through the midwest.

The last time they went throughhere was nearly three years ago, andI didn’t pounce on the tickets earlyenough – they sold out in a flash.

This year, I was ready when theyannounced tickets would be on saleand nabbed a single seat at the Or-pheum Theater in Minneapolis.

I found my hotel, checked in and

then drove to downtown Min-neapolis to catch the show. Iate at a restaurant near thevenue, and did some lightshopping before braving thecold a half hour before thedoors opened to get to my seat.

Half an hour of the cold later andvisiting with fellow fans, I was in thelobby, being scanned for metal beforebeing let into the lobby to buy drinks,snacks and a commemorative posterfrom their midwest tour.

At 7:20 p.m., 20 minutes after thescheduled start time, the brotherscame out to deliver their “advice that

should never be fol-lowed” on a range ofuser-submitted sub-jects, including one oftheir long standingsegments that always provides me achuckle, “Farm Wisdom.” The showwas definitely a great one, and I en-joyed a lot of laughter from the event.

The concert beginswith selections from The

Danish String Quartet’s“Woodworks.”

Finishing off the pro-gram is the powerfulSmetana String QuartetNo. 1 “From My Life.”

The event is spon-sored by Schultz Strings.

frustrated and concernedabout immigration ingeneral in the UnitedStates.

Adoption is perhapsthe simplest path to citi-zenship, yet it comeswith a lot of rigamarole.We can’t imagine whatnon-adoptees have to gothrough to come here.

Our family’s beliefsare that we should wel-come the foreigner out ofcharity and respect forlife. That people have theright to immigrate, andgovernments should ac-commodate this right.

Our own governmentisn’t very accommodat-ing, even in the simplestof circumstances – ourown, through adoption.

Consider Eli’s experi-

ence as a recent example:

We received a letterOct. 30 – eight monthsafter we started the citi-zenship process – sayingEli needed to set up anappointment to come toDes Moines. He had 30days to do it, and couldonly come on Wednes-day afternoons during a 21/2-hour timeframe. Wewere led to a website toset up an appointment,and there were no op-tions for appointmentswithin the 30-day time-frame.

There’s no phonenumber for the DesMoines office, so wecalled the federalhelpline. They providedno help.

So we called a con-

gressional office.

In the end, the con-gressman’s staffer didhelp, calling back withthe news that we couldshow up anytime on aWednesday afternoon.We were grateful for herassistance.

But her remark madeus pause: “Oh, the redtape you have to gothrough,” she said.

Wait. Isn’t she and thecongressman she worksfor part of government?Can’t they fix the bureau-cracy?

Can’t they work to fixcontradictions in immi-gration policy, so thatthis great country can behome to more great citi-zens?

Touting a backgroundhelping working Iowans,roots in small-townLouisa County and criti-cizing incentives hecalled corporate coupons,state senator Nate Boul-ton made his case to bethe Democratic candidatefor governor in 2018.

Boulton grew up inColumbus Junction andis a first-term state sena-tor representing north-east Des Moines andPleasant Hill. Followingan invitation by thegroup Mount VernonWomen, he spoke toabout 20 people in personand another 35 online ata Q & A Saturday morn-ing at the RehabilitationCenter of Lisbon.

Boulton said allIowans want safe com-munities, clean water anda good education forthemselves and their chil-dren.

“None of these arerural vs. urban issues,”he said.

He argued that thestate budget loses $500 to$600 million per year be-cause of giveaways tocompanies, and as a re-sult there are fewer childwelfare agents in thefield, schools are under-funded, and two of thefour mental health carefacilities were closed. Hesaid he expects budget

cuts again when the ses-sion starts in January.

“With unemploymentat a 17-year low, there isno reason for this kind ofbudget crisis,” he said,arguing the incentiveshave had a negative ef-fect on the state andIowa’s workforce is itsbest business recruitingtool.

“We’ve underfundedour communities, under-funded the schools, andwages increased just 1.4percent, below the na-tional average,” he said.

“We’re better thanbeing the lowest bidder,”Boulton said. “Our peo-ple are better than theircoupons.”

Boulton, 37, with oneyear serving in the state

legislature, was askedabout his age and experi-ence.

“I plan to age dramat-ically this year,” he joked.“I’m working on it everyday.”

He added that he isolder than TerryBranstad when Branstadwas first elected gover-nor. Boulton said he hasmore experience with thecurrent legislators thanother candidates runningfor the nomination.

Boulton was askedwhat he would do to helpsomeone with a mentalillness.

“First priority is to re-open the facilties thatwere closed,” Boultonsaid. “We should investmuch more in commu-nity based treatment andget rid of stigma.”

Many of those attend-ing the Q&A, whichlasted about an hour,said they were impressedwith Boulton’s communi-cation skills, his energyand enthusiasm.

Mount Vernon resi-dent Scott Peterson, whoran for a seat in the statelegislature in 2016,thought Boulton hadgained a remarkableamount of respect in hisfirst year from more sen-ior legislators.

“I think he’s willing toput in the time to be a dif-ferent kind of candidate,”Peterson said.

The Tuesday MorningBook Club at Cole Li-brary will have its De-cember meeting on Dec.19, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. inthe third floor conferenceroom. All are welcome tojoin the Book Club. Thosewith questions can con-tact Sherene Player at319-535-1105.

This month, the groupwill be reading and dis-cussing the book LilacGirls by Martha HallKelly. Deb George willlead the discussion.

Lilac Girls is inspiredby the life of a WorldWar II heroine, and tellsa story of love, redemp-tion and secrets.

The novel intertwinesthe stories of threewomen, spanning conti-nents, as Hitler and hisarmy begin invasionsthat kicked off WorldWar II.

Caroline Ferriday, a

New York socialite,serves at the French con-sulate in 1939. Her life ischanged when Hitler’sarmy invades Poland inSeptember, and then seteyes on invading France.

Kasia Kuzmerick, aPolish teenager, serves asa courier for the under-ground resistance move-ment. She struggles withseeing her childhood slipaway from her in her role

as part of the resistancemovement, against theprying eyes of neighborsand others.

Herta Oberhueser, theGerman doctor, appliesfor an ad for a govern-ment medical position.Once hired, she finds her-self trapped in the male-dominated Nazi culture,as they reach for morepower.

From the publisher:“The lives of these threewomen are set on a colli-sion course when the un-thinkable happens andKasia is sent to Ravens-brück, the notorious Naziconcentration camp forwomen. Their storiescross continents – fromNew York to Paris, Ger-many and Poland – asCaroline and Kasia striveto bring justice to thosewhom history has forgot-ten.”

Obituary Wishes for books cancome true at ColeDuring the month

of December, stu-dents at Washing-

ton Elementary Schoolcan make a wish for abook that they would liketo see in the Children’sRoom at Cole Public Li-brary.

The Washington Ele-mentary student who rec-ommends a title will bethe first patron to checkthe new books out if theyhave a public librarycard. We order the re-quest regardless, butthere is no way to connectthe book to the patronwithout a card.

Remember that a pub-lic library card is free, and

it’s free to check out ourbooks, movies and maga-zines.

Feel free to help yourstudent think of a book torecommend – sometimesa child likes an author orbook, but isn’t sure howto spell it or they mayhave only a piece of theinformation.

Isn’t it wonderful thatat the library wishes re-ally can come true?

Facilities committee reportFacilities committee

chair Todd Nelson out-lined the committee’sprocess and offered itsrecommendations dur-ing a meeting Wednes-day, Nov. 29. About 30committee members metover four months. Theytook 37 ideas and nar-rowed them down toseveral they believe theschool district shouldpursue.

Committee membersconcluded the most im-portant projects are up-grades to the high schoolwing, including updat-ing windows, moderniz-ing the scienceclassrooms and addingair conditioning.

That project is esti-mated to cost about $1.92million.

Second on the prioritylist is building an audito-rium at a price tag of $3.1million, and an eight-lane, all-weather track at$2 million.

Improvements to theLisbon Early ChildhoodCenter to allow the gymthere to be used for com-petitive games were alsomentioned, with a$450,000 price tag.

The committee alsoidentified a few add-onprojects the district couldpursue, including lockerroom renovations at$100,000, a new boiler inthe cafeteria at $150,000,additional parking for$150,000, and looking atair conditioning for theLions’ Den gym at$200,000.

Those add-ons couldbe pursued by the dis-trict in the future or aspart of this project, de-pending on where bidsfor the project occur.

Two scenariosThe committee pre-

sented the board withtwo building scenarios,depending on the taxrate voters approve.

If the debt levy staysthe same at $2.70 per$1,000 taxable value, theschool could raise about$5.9 million. That couldfund improvements tothe high school and mid-dle school classrooms at$1.92 million, as well asthe $450,000 improve-ments to the LECC andan additional $80,000 toreplace the old gym floorand repurpose the stage.With the soft costs ofroughly $400,000, thatbrings the total projectsat $3.1 million.

The district could alsoask voters to increase thetax levy rate by $1.35 tobring the debt levy rateto $4.05 per $1,000, whichwould raise about $9 mil-lion over 20 years. Thatamount would allow thedistrict to also build theauditorium and the trackat roughly $5.11 million,as well as soft costs ofnearly $800,000.

“It was important tous that the track and au-ditorium were tied to-gether in any vote,”Nelson said. “The proj-ects either live togetheror die together, and still

give the district flexibil-ity in what we feel arethe necessary improve-ments to be made to thefacilities.”

ArchitectsJesse Lizer and Nick

Hildebrandt of EmergentArchitecture then pre-sented the plans theyhave been working onfor the proposed im-provements.

When it came to theauditorium, Lizer saidthe committee was tornbetween a 350 and 500seat auditorium.

The design they pre-sented has 350 seats onthe ground floor, with abalcony space that couldbe developed to house anadditional collapsible 150seats in the future.

“That would allow thedistrict to install thebleachers at a later date ifit’s not something thatcan be afforded rightnow,” Lizer said. “Itwould also allow thisspace to be used as aclassroom during theschool day.”

Existing classrooms inthe middle and highschool would be reducedfrom 1,400 square feet to800 or 900 square footeach to accommodate theauditorium.

Prasil asked if theschool improvementswould be completed be-tween when school endsand the beginning of theschool year on Aug. 25.

Lizer said not all class-rooms would probablybe finished on that timetable, but the architectswould work with theschool to prioritize whichclassrooms could betackled in that timeframeif the project took morethan one year to com-plete.

With the track beingbuilt at the high school,the football field wouldneed to shift some dis-tance to the northwest toaccommodate the track.That could impact theseating on the home andvisitors’ side, as well aspotentially the locationof the press box. It wouldalso require relocatingthe current bus barn andbus parking.

Hocking said the dis-trict has started lookinginto solutions for thebuses if that does becomea reality.

Hocking also pre-sented information onsatellite voting.

Petitions to host satel-lite voting as part of thespecial election would bedue by Friday, Jan. 5.Hocking recommendedpursuing at least onenight of satellite votingfor the bond vote, but theboard made no decisionon that date or what ac-tivities that might entail.

One hundred signa-tures of people in the Lis-bon School District areneeded to run a satellitevoting location. The costto hold a satellite votinglocation is $1,500 to$2,000, and the satellitevoting station must beopen for six hours.

We need to do what weneed to be comfortable toget through until thefourth building (isneeded).”

The current total prop-erty tax rate is $18.41273per $1,000 taxable value,and of that the debt serv-ice rate is $1.98424. Dis-trict business managerMatt Burke told the Sunthat a $3.35 debt serviceproperty tax rate is ex-pected to have the sametotal property tax rate of$18.41273 at this point intime because of savingsin other areas.

Mount Vernon votersin September 2016 re-jected a bond vote thatwould have raised thelevy by $1.98 per $1,000taxable value. That pro-posal would have raisedabout $16 million to beused for classroom up-grades, a new auditoriumand an activities com-plex.

Talking at last week’smeeting, resident DianeNovak said the messageof that vote was the levyis high enough.

“A lot of people arestruggling,” Novak said.“They will not accept yougoing above it (the cur-rent tax levy). They donot like a new athleticfield and all the otherstuff. They will accept anauditorium and construc-tion at the elementaryschool and middleschool, but not more taxdollars.”

The board, administra-tors and Gillaspie talkedthrough several scenar-ios.

After taking on a newbond in 2018, the districtwould be able to bondagain in 2027 to build afourth building for a newelementary school. Withgrowth coming to twonew planned subdivi-sions, district leaders be-lieve there is a strongpossibility a fourth build-ing will be needed within10 years.

Mount Vernon super-intendent Greg Baten-horst and school boardpresident Sherry Grun-der met with the district’sarchitectural firm, Strux-ture, to get recommenda-tions on what projectscould best be fundedwith a $12.8 million bondissue. The results of thatconversation will beshared with the fullboard at its meeting Dec.11.

Board members nowwant to firm up whateach school’s greatestneeds are and what is thebest value the districtcould get for its moneyfor new construction andrenovation.

They agreed it is fairlywell known that the dis-

trict needs a new audito-rium that can serve thedistrict for another 20-30years, and that the mid-dle school entry needs tobe renovated and mademore secure.

Among other needsthat have been noted area new art room and moreparking for the highschool, more classroomsat the middle and ele-mentary schools, flooringreplaced and sciencerooms renovated at themiddle school, and newclassroom furniture in allthe schools.

At the school board’srequest last spring, thedistrict surveyed teachersto find out their greatestneeds. As a result, it hasadded about 60 items tothe list of facilities up-grades needed, includingnew middle school sci-ence rooms, said Burke.

The district could nowdevelop a list of priorityprojects and ask theteachers to react to it,Batenhorst said.

Administrators alsoneed to walk the schoolsagain and look at thespace use to see criticalneeds, Batenhorst said.Architects recommendschools ideally be at 75-80percent capacity, but theelementary and middleschools are above that,and the district is alsoplanning for the futurefor the high school, hesaid.

Board member Nan-nette Gunn recom-mended asking teacherswhat their greatest needsare. When school boardmembers had coffee withteachers regularly lastyear, they found out is-sues they didn’t knowabout before then, andthat the administratorsdidn’t know about ordidn’t feel comfortablewith, she said.

People in the districtwant an auditorium, saidNovak, but want it builtcorrectly and not cut cor-ners so it will be sustain-able for 30 years at least.

“Everybody says weneed a middle school se-curity entrance, the floorneeds to be replaced andthe elementary schoolneeds a good teachers’lounge,” she said.

The district expects toaverage three percentgrowth for the next twoyears, then additionalgrowth for five to sixyears from the two newresidential developmentsplanned in Mount Ver-non, said Burke. Whenthe Stonebrook develop-ment went in, the districtaveraged six percentgrowth for a few yearsand then that tapered off,he said.

Most people wouldn’tthink of chainsaws andfine art as overly compat-ible, but for 28-year-oldMount Vernon residentClint Henik, they are aperfect match.

It all started on asnowmobiling trip whenHenik saw a carved bearon the side of a road anddecided to try makingone himself.

“I’ve always been afan of the rustic look,” hesaid. “I thought, ‘theylook cool, but I couldnever afford one, so I’llmake my own.’ ”

Henik’s first projectwas an attempt at a smallbear.

“I just tried it one day,then kept after it. Lots ofpractice” he said.

After three years ofpractice, Henik’s chain-saw carving business,Carve R Way, keeps himbusy enough that for thepast five months he hasbeen doing wood carvingfull time.

Henik does mostlycustom work, anythingfrom bears and eagles,the most popular items,to life-size cartoon char-

acters and dining roomtables.

“I like that everythingis different,” he said.“You can’t make thesame thing twice.”

Henik said the hardestpart of the process is thefirst step of drafting theidea on paper.

“I can make thingsright with a chainsaw,but I struggle with penand paper,” he said.

Each piece is done byHenik from start to fin-ish. The work beginswith drawings, then theselection of a log, then 80to 90 percent of the carv-ing, which is done withchainsaws of varyingsizes. Henik has seven

saws ranging in barlength from six inches to36 inches. The piecesthen can be finished witha combination of tools,including a dies grinder,a Dremel tool, sanders,torches and paint.

Henik doesn’t only dofree-standing pieces.Anyone with a stump intheir yard that could beimproved by chainsawart could ask Henik totransform it into a carv-ing of their choice.

An average size proj-ect, like a small bear, willtake around two or threehours to complete, ac-cording to Henik. Andwhile bears are the mostcommon, Henik’s currentfavorite project to workon are sculptures of fish.

“They are detailed onevery side and more del-icate than some of theother things I make” he

said. Henik recently won

first place in a carvingcompetition with a tablehe made from driftwoodand carved fish under aglass tabletop.

Henik takes part inaround eight competi-tions a year throughoutthe U.S.

“Every carver has adifferent way of goingabout stuff,” he said.

Which is how he cameup with the name CarveR Way. Everything hedoes has signature on it,both literally andthrough his own uniqueway of sculpting eachpiece.

Power was out for1,600 Alliant Energy cus-tomers Monday, Dec. 4,beginning at roughly12:30 p.m. The local out-age was on the south sideof Mount Vernon.

According to JustinFoss, senior communica-tions partner with AlliantEnergy, the winds blewdown a tree along Stand-ing Rock Road and ontoone of Alliant’s powerlines, knocking out a linethat provided power tomore than 1,600 cus-tomers.

“Thankfully, we’vehad a pretty quiet fall inthe weather department,and we haven’t hadmany outages caused bythe weather,” Foss saidMonday. “The windstoday were really power-ful and knocked that treedown.”

Alliant reroutedpower on that line by 3p.m., and restored powerto more than 1,500 cus-tomers.

Mount Vernon SchoolDistrict was one of themany without power forthe two hours.

“Communication re-garding the outage wasdifficult due to issueswith Internet and phoneconnections,” said GregBatenhorst, Mount Ver-non schools superintend-ent. “The schools did agreat job of insuring thatlearning continued andeveryone was safe.”

A junior high girls’basketball game wasplayed at Anamosa in-stead of Mount Vernon, adecision that was madewhen the power went outinitially. All otherevening activities wereheld normally at theschool.

Foss said there werestill 120 Alliant customerson the south side of Hwy.30 without power as of 3p.m. Monday, with hopesto restore power to the re-maining customers bythat evening.

There were chips inthe paint and brokenpieces, and it needed adeep cleaning and a newpaint job.

Smith simply took allof the pieces outside on abench and “very care-fully” washed them insoapy water. Faoro of-fered assistance.

“The color didn’tcome off at all. So theywere painted prettywell,” said Smith.

Faoro countered thatdespite this quality paintjob, after all these yearsthere were “a lot of chipsand breaks here andthere.”

In addition to a brokenhorn here and brokennose there, some pieces,said Faoro, were com-pletely gone.

When something wasmissing entirely, Faorosaid, “I had to mold it outof plastic.”

Faoro’s attention todetail included makingnew leather ears for thecow in the scene.

The pair decided notto take any chances withthe finished product.After Faoro repainted thecharacters, he coatedthem in polyurethane.And instead of newspa-pers, the pair wrappedthe pieces this time in

Lions ̓Werderman is first champ at CKCrystal EskelsenSun sports

The Lions battled with the best of thebest.

The Class 1A, No. 1 Lisbon wrestlingteam traveled to the 32-team Cliff KeenIndependence tournament over theweekend and finished fifth overall with258 points and one individual title.

The competition included just threeClass 1A Iowa teams. All of the othersquads were 2A, 3A or top Minnesota orMissouri teams. Fort Dodge won thetournament with 386 points.

Lion senior Bryce Werderman madehistory in the tourney. He won the 170-pound title, and this was the first time aLisbon wrestler has been a champion atthis tournament.

Wrestlers started the tournament Fri-day in four-man brackets to determinewhich brackets they would wrestle in onSaturday. Seven Lions were 4-0 in thoseFriday brackets and earned spots in theGold Bracket.

Cael Happel (120) finished second,Cobe Siebrecht (126) was third, RyneMohrfeld (132) and Cooper Siebrecht(145) were fifth, Logan O’Connor (220)was sixth and Jake Jennett (195) was sev-enth.

“It was a great team effort and expe-rience,” said Brad Smith, Lisbon headcoach.

Cooper Siebrecht earned his 150th ca-reer win in his match against an Ankenyfoe Saturday in the Gold Bracket.

From the outside look-ing in, the Mount Vernonboys’ basketball team’shome win Friday nightwas a great buzzer-beaterstory to start the season.

To the Mustang family,this was much more thanthat. This was a night thatwill be remembered for along time to come asMustang who recentlylost his father made thewinning shot.

Trailing Clear Creek-

Amana by one point, 42-41, with less than 10 sec-onds to play, MountVernon freshman KeatonKutcher took an outsideshot as time slippedaway. The shot rimmedout, and junior Cam But-terbaugh was there forthe put back, lifting theMustangs to a 43-42 vic-tory.

“I never thought therebound off of Keaton’sshot would come myway,” Butterbaugh said.“Then when I got it, Ithought the time had run

out. But I shot it anyway.I saw it go in, but I didn’trealize it counted untilBlake Booth came run-ning at me and huggedme.”

This is where the storygets good – goose bumpsgood.

On Nov. 8 of this year,Butterbaugh’s dad, Jeff,lost his battle with ALS atthe age of 51.

Saturday, with

action starting

at 10 a.m.

Editor’s note: The pub-lication date for this issueof the Sun is Dec. 7, whichmade us curious abouthow the attack on PearlHarbor in 1941 was re-flected in the Mount Ver-non Hawkeye-Record andLisbon Herald.

The first issue followingthe attack of Dec. 7, 1941,was Thursday, Dec. 11.

One front page story,“Anxiously Await Word ofPeople in War Zone,” in-cluded a list of local peo-ple, former residents andrelatives of local peoplewho were in Hawaii, thePhilippines, in the army inthat vicinity or in the U.S.Navy. The next few issuesincluded similar stories.

That list included for-mer resident of MountVernon Verne Hinkley,Cornell College Class of1915, who was a city editoron a Honolulu paper.

Further searches indi-cate Hinkley worked at thelocal paper and then forCedar Rapids’ papers asan editor and “sportingpage” editor.

He was in the armedforces in 1917 and sentback dispatches fromtraining camps on the westcoast that were publishedin the precursor to the Sun.

Another front pagestory in 1941 was of apinochle tournament,reprinted below.

CITY PINOCHLE PLAYERS BLITZ UPPER PALISADES

It was common talkaround the auditor’s of-fice at the Linn CountyCourt House on Mondaythat Adolph Biderman,genial operator of theUpper Palisades, would-n’t stick his head in theauditor’s office and makeany comment about thegreat game of pinochlefor a while at least.

With a baked coon as

an attraction, Adolphchallenged county audi-tor Bob Vosoly to bringsome of the city boys tothe Palisades and playpinochle. Saturday night,Adolph, Clair Milholinand Russell Boggs, withcomplete confidence intheir ability, took on BobVesely, Joe Trejtnar andFrank Sjec of CedarRapids. Sad to relate theusually strong UpperPalisades team seemed tobe a little off form.Maybe they had overtrained.

When they quit towork on the baked coonabout 11:30 p.m., the cityslickers were ahead 4 to2. The Upper Pal boys,

still confident, urged an-other game. The cityboys finally gave in andplayed another game.And then the Palisaditeswished they hadn’tstarted in again, for thatput the city boys win-nings at 6 to 2.

At another table agroup of farmers, whichincluded Jerry Walters ofMount Vernon, Anton Bi-derman and Jay Mil-holin, took the city boys,Chas. Kosek, Leo Justand Lewis Miskovsky, 3to 2. This made it look all

the worse for the otherfarmer team. In fact, thequestion of whetherAdolph was eligible toplay with a farmer’steam was raised. But heclaimed he had ten hillsof corn which qualifiedhim.

This pinochle feud,which has no end, willprobably be resumed at alater date when conven-ient to all parties.

was able to go,” Butter-baugh said. “He was mycoach from third throughabout seventh grade.”

Friday night was theteam’s first game of theseason and they were allproudly wearing the ini-tials “JB” on their uni-forms in loving memoryof Jeff.

“I decided it with ourseniors over Thanksgiv-ing break,” Mount Ver-non head coach Ed Timmsaid of the decision tohonor Butterbaugh’s

dad.“I found out about the

initials about a weekago,” said Kristine But-terbaugh, Cam’s mom. “Isaw the completed jer-seys right before thegame. I love it.”

“I really like the ini-tials,” Cam said. “It reallymeans a lot.”

Just before that lastMount Vernon offensivepossession, Booth fouledout of the game, creatingthe opportunity for But-terbaugh to get on the

floor.“I did not intend to

put Cam in even then,”Timm said. “We had de-cided that if anyonefouled out we were goingto put in Noah Erickson.Then it got confusing be-cause they did not ini-tially say who had fouledout and we had threeguys with four fouls. Youonly have 30 seconds fora substitution, so I turnedto the bench and the firstperson I saw was Cam. Itwas without a doubt a

God thing.”The buzzer sounded

and the Mustangs wonthe game at the hands ofthe most unlikely ofshooters. Cam wasn’tsupposed to be on thefloor and it wasn’t part ofthe coaching plan, but itwas part of someoneelse’s plan.

“I also feel like afterlosing my dad, I think hehelped the shot go in,”Cam said.

Mount Vernon got the43-42 win, led by NickLeopold with 13 points,

three rebounds and twosteals.
