I put in 30 minutes of roadwork Sunday morning before the Vikings game came on.

After I got two blocks in, I started to have a small panic attack. That’s been happening lately. In 2018 I’ll be 50 years old.

I know - you’re all spitting out your coffee right now and wiping your mouth with your jammie sleeve.

“No way that dude’s 50!?”Well. yeah. And a couple weeks ago I went to watch

Justice League with Lee. Now in all fairness my wife says she really doesn’t like beefy guys and I used to be a beefy guy... to some degree anyway.

“I don’t like all those muscles on guys, she said. But the proof is in the pectorals I believe as her favorite actor and her mancrush is Gerard Butler. Whose isn’t, right?

But he’s got some muscles to him and it just so hap-pens that she started liking said beefcake after watching 300. I think he worked out a little for that movie.

Also, and I feel like an attorney here, but evidence shows that she’s a huge Avengers franchise fan.

District continues policy revisions

BY CHUCK VANDENBERGPCC EDITOR

FORT MADISON - Fort Madison’s school board continues to modify its policies to better align with the state school board association.

At Monday’s meeting of the Fort Madison School Board about 20 polices were either deleted, added or had language cleaned up in them to more closely align with the Iowa Association of School Boards.

Superintendent Erin Slater said the district’s policies are reviewed every three years and the modifications are an ongoing process, but she said since she’s arrived she’s wanted to move the district more toward the IASBs recommended policies.

“We review policies about every three years, so we make sure our policies reflect current law and we are

cognizant of any updates IASB is rec-ommending,” Slater said. “We look at a policy we have and the policy they have and we do a crosswalk. My philosophy is to migrate more to what IASB is recom-mending.”

She said because Fort Madison is a rural Iowa school district, the board will

take that into consideration.“We do look for nuances because we are a rural

district in Iowa and then we’ll add to the IASB recom-mendation,” she said. “Sometimes the regulation will be districtformed that we will use and other times, if there are more specific things, we’ll adjust the policy to reflect that, but what we’re finding is that there is a larger percentage of the time that we are very close or even mirroring what IASB has written.”

She said it takes about three years to get all the polices on the board schedule, so they do them in big chunks.

folks show up with no shirt on.But I’ve got a 6’2 frame and if I’m at my optimal

weight of 210 to 220, I do all right.So sitting there in the theater, I glance occasionally

at my wife, while simultaneously brushing popcorn crumbs off the belly that somehow has been finding a way to pop up when I slouch in my chair. As I munch on more pieces and use my peripheral to watch her watch Momoa I think, “I got one more in me’.

So I said this is the week I start putting the package back together. Tina Hauck at New Dimensions cuts my hair. I really don’t want her to cut it off, I want her to put some back on, but I guess she’s just not good enough for that. I mean for real, aren’t they called hair dressers? Well dress it up.

Her suggestion, “I think it looks less thin on top, if we cut it short on the sides. Dontcha think?” Sure Tina. I said, “Yeah, makes me look like Rich Eisen.”

“Who’s Rich Eisen?”No tip for you.No - seriously Tina’s awesome, it’s my head that’s

not.So I figure she keeps the top looking as good as her

talents will let her, and I should start working on the rest.

I hit the road at about 10:30 Sunday morning, I’ve got my headphones in with One Direction setting the pace, my zip up zipped with the hood pulled over my balding head - a perfect target for any neighborhood dog running loose, and I’m on my way.

I get two blocks south and one west, Geezus, I can’t breathe. STOP IDIOT. Ok... just relax. Breathe through your nose - stay calm - keep moving. Better

call the wife to come get me, this isn’t workin’ out. No....just keep walking and breathing. Look down at the sidewalk and listen to the music.”

It starts to work, so I gradually pick up the pace again. Yeah...this will work. A quick walk, it’s bet-ter than sitting in the chair with the tv on and this dag-blasted laptop on my lap.

Then the endorphines kick in. For those of you who don’t know, Endorphines are troll-like imaginary friends, with really big ears in my case, in your head that say, “ooooh, wussie boy, this kinda feels good, right? Pick up the pace a bit.”

So I do that. And whatya know I’m jogging a couple blocks in between walking a couple. There are some people in this town that get after it on roadwork - Matt Rump, Matt Mohrfeld, Matt Hellige. Wait a second...., do I have to change my name? I don’t look like a Matt, if anyone looks like a Chuck - it’s me. Self-deprecating humor is fine as long as you sprinkle in confidence.

But I got through it...and hopefully tomorrow I’ll get at it again. We’ll take small steps. It won’t grow hair but it will grow my heart.

The YMCA is next. I need to throw some weights

around. That’s gonna hurt. My goal, take off about 30 pounds around the belly and in the legs, put on some mass upstairs and make sure she’s looking at ME like a Mimosa.

I know...I know. She loves me for my mind and heart and daddy-ness.

Maybe this is just a little for me, too.But that’s Beside the Point.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

As part of Slater’s regular report, she recommended approving changes to 11 policies, mostly relating to

student attendance. One change was to the policy of vandalism of school property. Most of the changes were minor language restructuring and deletion of redun-dancies in the district’s policy. Of those 11, one was deleted that dealt with temporarily disabled students because language on disabled students covered the same issue. A policy outlining the district’s policy on accepting foreign exchange students was tabled until language could be cleaned up.

The district also added a policy section that addresses pregnant students and what procedures and allowances the school will implement.

During the discussion portion of the meeting, she recommended nine additional policy changes with regard to locker searches, weapons, and drug enforce-

ment. Of those nine, three of the policies were deleted because the issue was addressed in other policy chap-ters, one had no revision, and five were recommended to go to the IASB language.

In other action, the board:• heard from six district math teachers who went

to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference in Chicago. The teachers demonstrated an algebraic game with cards that demonstrates calculating unknowns with a card game. The teachers also shared information on new teaching strategies and analytics they brought back from the conference.

• voted to allow Kay Peterson and Jessica Gutzman to attend the Learning Disabilities Association National Conference in Atlanta in February.
