Mason’s tenure as Marquette mayor comes to a close

Norma Mason’s six-year tenure as the mayor of Marquette came to a close at the end of December.

By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times Editor

When the Marquette Council meets for its regular monthly meeting Jan. 19, for the first time in six years, someone new will call the meeting to order. December marked the end of Norma Mason’s tenure as the city’s mayor, with her passing the gavel on to David Schneider, who was elected in November.

Mason’s involvement with city government began nearly 20 years ago. Curious about an upcoming meeting, Mason ventured to city hall, where she learned Marquette was looking to fill an open seat on the council due to a resignation. Recently retired, she decided to give it a shot.

“That got me hooked,” she said with a smile.

NIT turns 160 in 2016

Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/05/2016 - 11:26

By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times Editor

1856: James Buchanan was elected 15th president of the United States, the Republican Party held its first national meeting, the Crimean War ended in Europe and the tin-type camera and accordion were both patented. On Friday, Oct. 10, the North Iowa Times was established in McGregor.

The newspaper was founded by Col. A.P. Richardson and F.W.D. Merrill, the brother of Iowa Governor Samuel Merrill, although Merrill’s name appeared on the masthead for just two weeks. In the first issue, Richardson stated, “The commercial interest of McGregor to say nothing of the demands of a country west of us unsurpassed in fertility required the establishment of a newspaper.”

At a special meeting Dec. 28, the Monona Council accepted a revised purchase and sale agreement for part of lot two in the Monona Commercial Park for the construction of a new office for Family Dentistry Associates of Monona.

Rather than purchase the entire 2.14-acre lot, located between Fisk’s Farm and Home and the Monona Family Aquatic Center, as originally anticipated, Dr. Mark Fohey said he would like to purchase a portion of the lot. Deemed parcel A, the portion is 1.42 acres.
