Celebrating the life of Dr. Donald Strutt

Submitted by admin on Tue, 03/10/2020 - 12:49

This recent picture shows Don sitting on his houseboat on the Mississippi. He spent a large part of his life on the river with family.

Dr. Don sits behind the desk in the early years of Strutt Chiropractic. He and wife Joanne moved to McGregor at the age of 21 to set up a practice.

This week, we celebrate the life of Dr. Donald Frost Strutt, who moved to McGregor as a young newlywed, not knowing the huge impact he would leave on this little river town.

Don was always a hard worker. When his father died, he was only 10 years old. Feeling a responsibility to his mother and siblings, Donald went to work at a young age.

He met the love of his life, Joanne,while attending high school in Dodgeville, Wis. They married just after graduating and eventually made their home together in Davenport, while Don attended Palmer Chiropractic College. A year after graduating college, at the age of 21, Don and Jo decided to make McGregor their home. They moved to town and set up a practice.

School bond measure fails

Submitted by admin on Tue, 03/10/2020 - 12:47

By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times

The MFL MarMac Community School District’s bond measure for a $7.8 million facilities improvement project did not pass following a March 3 special election. Despite having more “yes” votes, at 503 (52.34 percent), than “no” votes, at 458 (47.66 percent), 60 percent approval was needed for passage of a general obligation bond.

In all, 961 people voted, which is the highest turnout MFL MarMac Superintendent Dale Crozier said he’s seen in his time with the district.

“It was very exciting to have so many people come out to vote,” he said. “It is very important for democracy in a free society for people to vote, so I applaud the community regardless of whether you voted yes or no.”
