Manly City Council places fire department under non-profit corporation By Jan Lovell newspapers on Tuesdays, Thurs- MANLY -The City Council Monday night approved an ordinance forming a non-profit corporation to run the Manly Volunteer Fire Department. The Manly Volunteer Firefighter's Association Inc. will collect and spend department money in an effort to have more control over department finances. Bookkeeping chores now are handled by the city.

Mayor Robert J. Kalous was concerned that costs for the corporation will "cut into other budgets." He said the city still will be responsible for costs of the fire department, but will lose income it had been receiving from surrounding townships for fire services. That money, it was noted, will go directly to the fire association. "There will be no way to recover those funds," Kalous said. "You'll just have to cut back somewhere else." "You're essentially picking up all the cost you have now and giving up all the income," City Clerk Robert Culver said.

Several councilmen felt Manly would be paying its "fair share" under the corporation stipulations. According to the ordinance, the city will pay for insurance for vehicles and personnel; gas, oil and maintenance on vehicles; utilities and telephone on buildings housing fire department equipment; vehicles and personnel; reimbursement of firefighters' expenses, and other expenses approved by the council. The council already has budgeted for the items except for vehicle maintenance, a fire department representative noted. Any "major purchase" of $10,000 or more must first be submitted to the council for consideration. The governing board of the corporation includes the fire chief and representatives from the Manly City Council and Lincoln, Danville, Union and Lime Creek townships.

The council decided to transfer available money to the corporation Jan. 1. Citing some recent complaints about leaf burning, the council set specific days to burn leaves. Manly residents will be allowed to burn leaves not solid waste or Boy, 9, struck by truck MASON CITY Raymond Leroy Hayes 9, escaped serious injury when he was struck by a truck on 2nd NW, near N.

O'Leary, 1115 1st The accident was reported at about 5:35 p.m., after Hayes was taken to the hospital. Fair Board to meet Wednesday MASON CITY The North Iowa Fair Board meets at 7:30 p.m.

Space (From Page One) way for them to unwind." The launch day weather forecast was in the acceptable range, with scattered clouds, winds of 12 mph and visibility at seven miles. Rainfall and high crosswinds were the biggest worries. If it rains Wednesday, after super fuels have been loaded into Columbia's huge external fuel tank, the flight would have to be delayed at least two days.

The moisture could freeze on the outside of the tank and chunks of ice could vibrate off at blastoff to damage the vehicle. On the day before their big flight. the first in orbit for both military pilots, Engle and Truly will "probably be goofing off mostly," Slayton said. Today's schedule called for a 5:30 a.m. breakfast.

a sunrise visit to the launch pad, and a few hours doing emergency landing practice plane that handles like the Columbia. They'll go to bed early and will be awakened at 2:40 a.m. on launch morning. The Columbia is scheduled to land next Monday at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The 49-year-old Engle and the 43- year-old Truly are rookies to space, although together they count 31 years as astronauts.

TV coverage The three major TV networks will provide live coverage of the second flight of the space shuttle Columbia, beginning at en a.m. (From Page One) being the the first woman to actually sell cattle at an auction at the famous livestock terminal in South St. Paul, Minn. "Sure, I'm really proud of that," the brown-haired McCarthy said, her arm draped confidently over the back of her chair. The mother of four grown sons didn't originally aspire to such high goals when she first almost whimsically decided to go to auctioneering school.

Perhaps she recalled how exciting the sales were when she showed horses with a high school friend at a horse barn in Riceville. But it was during an auction to raise money for Riceville's 125th anniversary celebration that she received the final inspiration to go to auctioneer school in the spring of 1980. "I thought it sounded like fun," McCarthy said. And some of the local auctioneers thought she could do a good job at it. She initially thought the school might be "rough and tumble" because there were only six women out of the 141 students at the Mason City auctioneering school.

"But I've never been to anything I've enjoyed more in my life," she said, suddenly rattling off the auctioneer's jargon like a pro. The two weeks of classes were. jam-packed with information and practice sessions, from early in the morning until late at night. Participants weren't allowed to leave the grounds during school. She hasn't had the time to pursue auctioneering as a profession, although she has often volunteered her auctioneering talents for fundraisers and charities.

If she ever did decide to pursue auctioneering as a profession, she would probably sell livestock, McCarthy said. But for now, her focus is on county government. "I guess it's gotten to be my life," she unfolding a county map. Wednesday. Cable News Network also will report live from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the launching scheduled for 6:30 a.m.

during October, November, April and May. In another matter. the council decided to consider legal action or water shutoffs because some Manly residents have been delinquent or refused to pay garbage or utility bills. Some councilmen were concerned because the city threatens to turn off the delinquent user's water but doesn't "follow through." Others were concerned about the legality of turning the water off. Culver also read letters from some residents who refused to pay their garbage bills, saying they shouldn't have to pay them if they have been on vacation or weren't using the service.

However, Kalous said the city still is charged for landfill use whether or not people with property in Manly use the service. "People want to locate in this town but then they only do what they want," Councilman Willis Brennan said. "They just aren't very good citizens then, are they?" The mayor said he would talk with the city attorney about shutting water off and collecting the utility and garbage bills. After a heated debate, the council decided the sidewalk committee this week will determine which sidewalks need immediate repair. Joe Levad of Levad Construction Mason City, said he wanted to know when he could repair sidewalks city crews have marked as defective but which have not been repaired by property owners.

The committee, after its review this weekend, will tell Levad when he can do the sidewalks. Defective sidewalks were marked by city crews after the city's insurance agent said its insurance might be terminated if the sidewalks aren't repaired. In other business, the council: Approved a $3 per meeting salary increase for councilmen. Council members currently receive $12 per meeting. The increase will go into effect July 1.

Acknowledged a petition signed by 84 people asking that a cable televsion franchise question be voted on. No specific cable television company was mentioned in the petition. Here is a day-by-day summary of astronaut activities planned during this week's flight of the space shuttle Columbia. Day 1: Thorough flight system checks and testing to ensure the payload bay doors open and close properly. They will.

remain open most of the flight to permit scientific instruments in the cargo bay to monitor the Earth. Astronauts activate the instruments. Day 2: Astronaut Richard Truly tests the 50-foot "arm" that will be used in future flights to put satellites in orbit and retrieve them. Day 3: The arm is tested again. Commander Joe Engle rotates the spaceship as a gas is emitted in the cargo bay; the gas is tracked by a sensor in a test to determine the possible effect of contaminants on later flights.

Day 4: More arm tests. Cargo doors are closed and opened again to check if space exposure has caused a misalignment. Day 5: Engle enters a middeck airlock to practice donning and removing a new pressurized suit designed for shuttle space walks. He will not depressurize the airlock. Several tests of the steering jets are planned.

Day 6: A short but important day. Astronauts don pressure suits, turn off scientific instruments and perform the orbital maneuver that brings them home to a landing on a dry lake bed in California's Mojave Desert. 70 Soow Globe-Gazette Mason City- Clear Lake, lowa Tuesday, November 3, 1981 Volume 121, Number 229 lished GAZETTE (USPS 220400) is PUDTHE Christmas daily Sundays, New Year's Day, Day and Memorial Day by Lee EnCity, terprises, 50401. 300 N.
