Out of the rough: Linn Grove Country Club back on course after difficult year By Nick Pedley It’s made marked improvement, but the past 14 months have been anything but par for the Linn Grove Country Club in Rockwell. The golf course’s future was brought into jeopardy last summer following a period of poor management and financial uncertainty. Bills were past due, the grounds needed work and times were lean. The bleak outlook forced the board of directors to action, and the golf course’s operations were completely overhauled towards the end of June 2012. “We probably would have lost it at year-end. If we’d have went ‘til July 1st to November, I think it would have been locked up,� said Bill “Spud� Sheldon, vice president of the board of directors. “Or the hole would have been a little deeper.� Employees were let go and the full menu kitchen was closed to save costs. A staff comprised of local volunteers took control of the country club’s daily operations, and the groundskeeping crew were the only employees left on the payroll. Slowly, the course slowly began pulling out of its tailspin. “The key word of the turnaround is volunteers,� Sheldon explained. “When you get into names, I just don’t like that because you’ll always forget someone. It’s just been a very strong community effort.� The course made numerous improvements since its management was overhauled. Sheldon said the tee boxes were revamped after donors paid for renovations, and they even come back to keep the bushes clipped and the grass trimmed. Additionally, the course saw a resur-

(Photo by Nick Pedley) gance in Ladies Night and corporate-sponsored events. Annual membership for juniors, singles and families has remained status quo, and Sheldon said the board was pleased with the uptick in activity. Overall, the course just looks better. “There’s no more dandelions or Creeping Charlie. We dug out a couple of trees. There’s the refurbished tee boxes and new landscaping. We’re green again,� said Sheldon. Despite the recent success, Sheldon said there’s still some work to be done. The golf course is building up its bank accounts and weening itself to become financially independent. It was forced to take out a handful of

Rockwell Mayor reports progress between police and local groups at council meeting By Nick Pedley Mayor Steve Karabatsos reported at the Rockwell City Council meeting September 18 that relations between local betterment groups and the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Department are on the mend following a period of turbulence. Lieutenant Matt Klunder from the sheriff’s department and representatives from the Rockwell Lions Club, Rockwell Chamber of Commerce and Rockwell Fire Department gathered privately on Sept. 11, to hash out differences that developed during the past few years. Tensions arose between law enforcement and the local groups over security coverage at Rockwell’s summer events, and city officials thought it would be beneficial to get the groups together and work through their issues. Karabatsos and Rockwell Police Chief Rick Whitney served as arbitrators between the sheriff’s department and betterment committees at the meeting. “Some burrs under the saddle got brought up, but we worked through it and I think everyone got to a consensus,� Karabatsos reported to the council. “From how everybody left the meeting last Wednesday, I think things will be better going forward.� Whitney said the groups agreed to plan ahead more thoroughly in the future so security doesn’t have to be coordinated on a last-minute basis. The sheriff’s department traditionally provides deputies for crowd control during local festivities at a cost to the betterment groups, but that proved difficult this past summer. Whitney said a lack of communication between the groups and law enforcement forced a scramble to find security at short notice on more than one occasion. Additionally, Karabatsos said everyone was able to vent their frustrations about certain things that had built up over the years, which allowed all parties to see the issues from a different perspective. “It was a good meeting, I think it was productive and I think it will help future events tremendously,� Karabatsos assured. “We’re going to continue working on it and it will get

better.� Prior to Karabatsos’ update, the council tackled their biweekly review of city code. The group discussed motorized vehicles, regulations about motor size and what was allowable on city streets. Councilman Mike Flatness raised concerns over golf carts driven by children under the age of 16 in Rockwell. He said he received numerous complaints this summer, and he was worried about lax enforcement. “I probably had over 10 people call me about it this summer alone. I just want to know if we can do anything more about it,� he said. City code states no person shall operate a golf cart without a valid driver’s license, and each cart should have a slow-moving vehicle sign or some other indicator attached to it’s rear. Additionally, golf carts are banned on Rockwell’s most trafficked roads like Main Street, First Street and Madison Street. Council Member David Laudner pointed out adequate regulations were in place that banned underage drivers from cruising the streets in golf carts, and there was no need to revise the code. However, he said the city could choose to enforce the law more strictly. He suggested citizens call the parents of the children driving the golf carts or simply inform the police chief. Whitney is the lone officer in Rockwell and dedicates the majority of his time to night patrol, but said he was willing to increase enforcement. “I have no problem talking to them or writing a ticket,� Whitney said. Other business Laudner said the city pool did about the same as it did last summer, and also noted the board is still looking for a manager following the resignation of Abbie Nielsen. Additionally, the council agreed to move forward with Rockwell’s emergency management strategy. The city is currently in the development stages and needs to tie up a few loose ends to finalize the draft. Councilman Adam Wedmore was placed in charge of the plan and said ROCKWELL to page 2

loans over the past year to cover operational costs, but Sheldon reported the course’s seven bank accounts were gradually replenishing. He expected the course to be in the clear within a year. “I’m not going to smear the past, but it was in debt quite a bit,� said Sheldon. “We had some past bills we had to address. In 14 months, we’ve come a long way.� Sheldon was hopeful, but he pointed out that Rockwell was by no means immune from a trend seen at many smalltown 9-hole courses in Iowa. Eleven courses closed throughout the state last year. “We got nervous when Rockford got plowed under. The price of land – if it’s good land – small-

er golf courses, they’re all having a tough time. But our main goal is to save this one.� Sheldon and his fellow board members remained confident about the future despite the constant threat of closure. They plan to keep focusing on grounds improvements and equipment upgrades as they move forward into 2014. “As a board, we’ve got to concentrate on getting our equipment back up to line. You can’t trade it off all at once,� Sheldon said. “We need a new $65,000 fairway mower, and we have to approach that. At a $2 beer and $4 drink, it takes a lot of that to get that paid for.� A new mower may cost the course a pretty penny, but Shel-

don knew he was fortunate to be talking about improvements and upgrades at all. He said the country club will continue to operate with volunteer assistance for the forseeable future, but he said they might add more paid staff down the road. The board hired Julie Hansen to help in the club house this summer and they hope to keep her on next year. “It’s easy to spend money, but hard to save it,â€? Sheldon concluded. “I’m proud, and the whole community is proud, of the volunteers and of how well they take pride in our course‌ We just got a strong community. You go up and down Main Street downtown, they have contributed a lot – individuals and businesses.â€?

No candidates file for Swaledale council positions By Nick Pedley An air of uncertainty will greet voters at Swaledale in November after nobody turned in candidacy papers prior to last Thursday’s filing deadline. Mayor John Drury and councilmen Elmer Reicherts and Darwin Hanson opted not to file papers for re-election this fall. Drury has served four terms as Swaledale’s mayor, while Reicherts and Hanson both served on the council for one term beginning in 2009. According to Swaledale City

Clerk Judy Witte, the person that receives the most write-in votes in each position during the November 5 election has the option to accept the office or decline the position. If declined, an offer will be extended to the individual that receives the second-most votes. If the second person doesn’t want the job, the position is left vacant. Drury was first elected to the mayor’s office in 2005 after he ran against Sue Lyles. Since then, he’s been elected to three consecutive terms on write-in votes in 2007,

2009 and 2011. Write-in winners have been common in Swaledale in recent elections. According to abstracts provided by Witte, Councilman Troy Smeby was elected to fill a vacancy in 2009 on write-ins and also in 2011. Hanson’s victory in 2009 was also by write-ins. Three members of Swaledale’s council – Smeby, Marjorie Swenson and John Bonner – currently have two years left on their terms.

Rockwell council race ripe with competition By Nick Pedley There will be no shortage of options for voters on this November’s ballot for the Rockwell City Council election. Ten people filed for three open council spots, and two individuals handed in papers for the mayor’s office. Three outgoing councilmen – Kenny Nielsen, Adam Wedmore and Gary Akin – choose not to seek re-election this fall, as did Mayor

Steve Karabatsos. The influx of candidates came as a surprise to one long time city employee. “It’s totally unreal,� said Rockwell City Clerk Lorna Weier. “I don’t know the last time there were even three seats up like this.� Tony Furbush, Nicole Meyer, Larry Wentz, Lee Gossweiler, Mark Lowe, Mark Waite, Tonia Rurup, Tom Worley, James Bills

and Tim Brown are running for council, while Donald Brown and Bill “Spud� Sheldon threw their hats into the ring for the mayor’s office. Because of the large amount of candidates, the Pioneer Enterprise plans on mailing out questionnaires to each candidate and running their responses in the Oct. 31 issue.

3 candidates file for 3 open positions at Thornton By Nick Pedley Two fresh faces and one familiar veteran will comprise the November 5 city council ballot in Thornton. Current Councilman Brian Crowell is running uncontested for the mayor’s office being vacated by Joy Baker. Local residents Shelby Steenhard and Randall Bohman filed papers and will run unopposed for the two council positions left open by Crowell and Larry Stadtlander, who opted not to file for re-election. “Twenty years, that’s enough for me,� Stadtlander said. “Get some new blood in there.� The long-time councilman oversaw the new water tower construction and city street blacktopping project during his tenure, along with many other local betterment initiatives. Stadtlander said he was proud of what Thornton accomplished over the past two decades. “We’ve done a lot,� he said. Baker mirrored Stadtlander’s sentiments, and felt one term on the council and two in the mayor’s chair were enough.

“It’s more about my personal life. I’m retiring, so I thought it was right thing to do at the right time,� she said. Baker said her time on the council and in the mayor’s chair were eyeopening experiences. She enoyed learning how the city operated and liked watching projects develop from start to finish. Baker pointed to the housing development on Seventh Street and the city lagoon project as the highlights of her eight-year city government career. “Between having a great council to work with and great city employees, it’s been wonderful,� Baker said. Crowell said he spoke with Baker before deciding to run for the mayor’s position. “I just have a love and commitment to the community,� said Crowell. “I’ve always been one to help rather than watch from the sidelines.� The one-term councilman said he plans to emphasize the many tools Thornton has at its disposal if elect-

ed to the mayor’s office. He said the city’s proximity to Interstate 35 has the potential to create economic growth, and he also pointed towards amenities like the golf course and city park as attractions to entice new residents. “Every community wants to grow, and we have a lot of things throughout the community to do that,â€? said Crowell. “This is an easy community to grow in‌I want to make sure that with the things we’re doing, we’re doing them for the right reasons.â€? Crowell’s desire to open new doors on Thornton’s Main Street was shared by both candidates vying for council seats. “I don’t have any specific goals, but it’d be nice to encourage some more business in town,â€? said Steenhard. “I just want to keep the image of the town. It’d be nice to see a few new faces around here, too. We’re not Mason City, but it’s nice place to live.â€? Bohman shared Steenhard’s goals THORNTON to page 2

The Rockwell Chamber of Commerce holds monthly meeting at Zeidler Park In the past the chamber has raised enough money during the summer to purchase the land north of the football field known as “Chamber Acres� which is used for several events throughout the year. They also donated $ 50,000 to the local aquatic center for the purchase of the children’s play area. The chamber also provides donations to area groups for special projects, sponsors the Easter Egg Hunt, Santa Day and scholarships to West Fork seniors, and they have also partnered with the Lion’s Club, golf course and American Legion in their fundraising efforts. Chamber members will be asking for input from area residents about the future of their fundraising efforts, and will be making plans for 2014 at their next meeting.

Last week’s conflict in Washington D.C. marked yet another chapter in the embattled saga of Obamacare. The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly last Friday to fund the government only if all spending for President Barack Obama’s signature health care law is eliminated. The move forces an uncomfortable confrontation this week, as the Democratic-held Senate will no doubt deny the House’s measure. The turmoil could lead to a government shutdown on Oct. 1 and force the first-ever default on the federal debt. It’s hard to even wrap your head around this mess. I try to keep up with politics and big issues affecting our country, but I got lost on the health care law after the it was passed in 2010. Since then it’s been watered down and dragged through the mud, and I honestly don’t know what to think about it anymore. At this point, I guess my mood surrounding the health care bill is complete and utter apathy. I don’t know what side to believe. Republicans claim it will raise taxes, insurance premiums and hinder business. Democrats claim it will provide vital services to the nation’s uninsured.

Pick your poison, I guess. The debate has been an ongoing exercise in futility that has no end in sight. Republicans are taking a calculated risk by threatening a shut down, and the move could prove to be extremely detrimental for the party in the future. The nation is already tired of partisan politics dividing Washington and thwarting progress. A shut down only promises to widen that gap. It’s hard to get behind either party on these important issues afflicting the country. Taking a moderate, logical approach to our problems seems to be an impossible option at the federal level, and it’s become a one-way street with two trucks barrelling toward one another. As we stare down a government shut down, it’s important to realize the implications of this constant bickering and finger pointing. If the House and Senate fail to reach an agreement on the budget, ripples will be felt throughout the economy both domestically and internationally. Additionally, national parks would close, soldiers wouldn’t get paid and hundreds of thousands of federal workers will be placed on unpaid leave. This health care problem certainly has implications outside of the

Headache over health care 3HGOH\¡V 3RQGHULQJV Nick Pedley is the regional news editor and a reporter for the Hampton Chronicle, The Sheffield Press, and Pioneer Enterprise.

Washington. My apathy surrounding the situation is rooted in the futility that’s consumed our government over the past decade. It’s been a chaotic scene, and our policymakers’ inability to find any middle ground is extremely frustrating. The federal government has been run on a patchwork of Band-Aid fixes and temporary solutions throughout the past three years alone. It seems our legislators are facing the possibility of shut down, mandatory budget cuts and other deadlines every other month. It’s a miracle the governement hasn’t imploded yet. I’ve been unable to ignore all of this health care drama despite my concerted efforts to blow it off. I’ve heard ads on the radio, sat through commercials before videos on YouTube and come across numerous articles on the Internet. I couldn’t tell you how much my eyes have rolled throughout all of it, and I have to admit I sort of feel bad for not caring.

I think I might be suffering from a lack of perspective. I’ve been extremely fortunate that I’ve never had to worry about health insurance or whether or not I’d receive care during a time of illness. I realize millions of Americans aren’t as lucky as me, so sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough credibility to denounce Obamacare or support it. I think I’d be speaking out of turn if I cast my opinion one way or the other, that way I can’t sound stupid speaking about it either way. As we head into the budget showdown, I think my best plan is to keep my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears. My lack of interest may come back to bite me later on, but I’m sure I’ll end up hearing about all the drama regardless. Our legislators may not be good at governing, but they can sure raise a ruckus at the drop of a hat. $GYHUWLVLQJ LV ZHOO UHDG (YHQ D $IWHU DOO [ \RX DUH UHDGLQJ WKLV DGYHUWLVHPHQW

Kazmerzak still missing; exhaustive searches yield no new clues By Jeff Forward After a week of intensive and wide-spread searches by law enforcment authorities, there is still no news on missing Hampton man Ethan Kazmerzak. Hampton police Chief Bob Schaefer said Monday that Kazmerzak, 22, had not been located after multiple days of aerial, land and underwater diving searches. Schaefer also said there are no new leads on his location. “Nothing new since Friday when we were out looking,� Schaefer said. “There were a total of 35 people from 14 different agencies searching. There were some civilians that came and helped, too.� Kazmerzak, 22, went missing sometime after 12 a.m. Sept. 15. The popular local resident, who was a mainstay in musical and theater productions while a student at Hampton-Dumont High School, was seen at several area pubs on Sept. 14 including Pit Row and the Red Moose in downtown Hampton and Duck’s in Aredale. Schaefer said that Kazmerzak was last seen in-person at a party held near a gravel pit pond behind a rented farm house in the 1400 block of 190th Street. Kazmerzak apparently last used his cell phone at about 12:30 a.m. Sept. 15 near the intersection of 190th Street and Olive Avenue.

In effort to scour even more of the rural farmland around Hampton, 35 people from 14 different agencies used “Gator� ATVs to drive backroads, corn and soybean fields, and around wooded areas and ravines spanning a large area of land as far away as Aredale. Nothing was found on that search, either, Schaefer noted. Schaefer said on Monday that officials had decided to send out information about Kazmerzak’s disappearance to a more geograph-

ically diverse list of news media – including television stations across the state – in an effort to keep the search “fresh in people’s minds.� At about 1 p.m. Monday, Schaefer was filming a news segment with a reporter from Des Moines-based station KCCI. Kazmerzak is described as about 5-feet, 5-inches tall, 185 pounds, with dark blonde hair and a reddish-colored beard and glasses. He has a Grateful Dead tattoo on his upper left arm. He was last seen

(Photo by Jeff Forward) The search for Kazmerzak has included a wide range of officials and methods. Law enforcement authorities and members of the Hampton Fire Department engaged in searches of county roads in vehicles – looking for signs of Kazmerzak’s car – a silver 2006 Volkswagen Jetta with a license plate of AUZ 382. Also involved in the search were airplanes – initially a private aircraft as well as one from the Iowa State Patrol scoured the land over Franklin County north of Hampton. On Sept. 18, three airplanes from the

CERT group in Cerro Gordo County flew over a large area – including four miles north and to the south of Highway 3, and from Interstate 35 to the west all the way to Aredale to the east. On Sept. 19, six scuba divers from the Story County Sheriff’s Department arrived in Franklin County to conduct an underwater search for Kazmerzak at the gravel pit pond he was attending the party. For more than four hours, the divers used sonar and also plumbed the depths of the murky, plant-filled pond to no avail.

Homes For Haiti Festival October 19 at North Iowa Events Center An event to raise awareness and funds for projects to provide homes for the homeless in Haiti and Kenya is being planned by a group of North Iowa churches and individuals. The event will take place at the North Iowa Events Center in Mason City on Saturday, October 19. The festival is called “Homes for Haiti� and the various activities planned are designed to further raise awareness of the plight of persons displaced in Haiti by the Earthquake in 2010, and subsequent Tropical Storm Isaac in 2012. The devastation was so extensive, that thousands of families are still living in tents and cardboard shelters as they try to get their lives back in order. The funds raised by this event will be used to purchase Safe T HomesŽ produced by Sukup Manufacturing of Sheffield, and the homes will be made available to the homeless through Global Compassion Network, a not-for-profit agency which works to provide housing, health care, safe water and education to people who have been put out of their homes by disasters and political strife in many areas of the world, including those affected by disasters in the US. The event will begin with a pancake breakfast starting at 8:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. Other lunch and snack items, including a potato bar, will be available for purchase from 11:00 a.m. throughout the remainder of the event until 5:00 p.m. Silent and live auctions have been planned as well, selling products and services donated to the cause by area stores and restaurants. Games and activities for children are planned throughout the day as well as

Two vehicle accident with injuries

On Sept. 24 the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s office responded to a two-vehicle accident with injuries. The accident was on Hwy 18 at the 180MM eastbound. The first vehicle was a Jeep 2007 driven by Gloria Ruiz Gonzalez from Coulter. She was eastbound and slowed for a vehicle on the shoulder and the second vehicle (a 2001 Buick) driven by Barbara Roberts from Clear Lake, hit the rear end of the Jeep. Roberts’ vehicle came to rest in the median and the Gonzalez vehicle on the shoulder. One passenger in Gonzalez’ vehicle, a five-year old male, was taken to Mercy Medical Center North Iowa by Mason City Fire Medics. Barbara Roberts declined medical treatment at the scene. Roberts was charged with Failing to Stop in assured clear distance.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Iowa Department of Natural Resource weekly fishing report The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a weekly fishing report on Thursdays in an effort to provide the latest information heading into the weekend. The weekly fishing report is compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys, and county and state parks staff. For current information, contact the district fisheries office at the phone number listed at the end of each district report. NORTHWEST Crawford Creek Impoundment Fishing has been slow. Moorehead Park Pond Fishing has been slow. Brushy Creek Lake Water clarity is decent. Anglers are focusing on panfish around the submerged trees. Try fishing in 10 to 20 feet of water. There are lots of bluegills around 9 inches. Storm Lake (including Little Storm Lake) Fishing remains the same as last week. Channel Catfish - Good: Drift fishing with night crawlers have been working. White Bass - Fair: White bass can be caught pulling plugs, crankbaits, or casting white twisters. Walleye - Slow: Pulling plugs or shad raps continue to be the best producers. The dredge machine on Storm Lake is in operation. Stay clear of the dredge, booster pump, and pipeline that runs from the dredge to the east shore. North Twin Lake Fishing for yellow bass and crappie is starting to pick up. Anglers are focusing their efforts around docks. Swan Lake Fishing has been slow. Water clarity has been reduced due to algae blooms. Black Hawk Lake The lake is about six inches below crest. Water clarity has been reduced in some areas due to algae blooms. Black Hawk Lake’s fishery was renovated last fall. Although we have been restocking the lake with sport fish, there are not a lot of harvestable size fish in the lake yet. Browns Lake Anglers are catching catfish using Sonny’s stink bait and dead shad. Fishing for other species has been slow. Snyder Bend Lake Fishing has been slow. Little Sioux River (Linn Grove to Correctionville) Good sized catfish are taking chicken livers and chicken guts. Use a slip sinker and hook and look for the current breaks along high banks preferably or the standard snags. Anglers should really focus on the current breaks. For more information on lakes and rivers in the Black Hawk District contact the Black Hawk District Office at 712-657-2638. Lake Smith Channel Catfish - Good: Try cutbait, worms, or stinkbait. Fish are probably biting best the last hour of sunlight to an hour after sunset. Bluegill - Slow: Largemouth Bass - Good: A few largemouths are being caught in the evening and early morning. Lake Catherine Channel Catfish - Good: Cats are biting on minnows or chicken liver. Try early morning or right at dark. They are decent size with some running 7-9 pounds. Largemouth Bass - Good: Largemouth are biting on spinners. Clear Lake Channel Catfish - Good: Catfish are still hitting quite well. Fish can be caught just about anywhere on the lake. Try the edges of the reeds and

fish in the morning or evening with worms, cutbait or stinkbait. Bluegill - Fair: Target the jetties by Ventura. Dangle a worm right on the edge of the rocks off the tips of the jetty in the evening hours. Crappie - Fair: Reports of anglers catching crappies by Dodge’s Point. Walleye - Slow: Anglers are catching a few walleyes trolling or drifting along the north shore, from the state dock area to the east. Muskellunge - Good: Muskies are still hitting. People are hooking them mostly by docks. Yellow Bass - Good: Anglers are still catching good numbers of yellows out from the state dock area in the middle of the main lake. On strong south wind days, shore anglers can pick up good numbers by the boat harborage and reed edges.

The sophomore tallied four kills and 7 of 7 serving in the match, and went 36 of 36 with eight aces for the day in a recent tournament in Webster City (photo by Les Houser-Eagle/ Monitor Sports)

Crystal Lake Bluegill - Good: Anglers are picking bluegills up in 7-8 feet of water but some deep, too. Largemouth Bass Good: Anglers have reported catching lots of largemouth. Fish on the outside edges with a bobber and live bait or try a weedless spoon. Walleye - Slow: Walleyes are around 1620 inches. Fish deep during the day, then a little shallower during the evening.

Iowa River (Iowa Falls to Marshalltown) Channel Catfish - Good: Fish the logjams and deeper holes and move often. Fish with cutbait or stinkbait. Flathead Catfish - Good: A few reports of anglers catching flatheads on dough balls. If you can get a boat or kayak on the river and find some of the deeper holes to spend the night with some live bait, you should have good success. Winnebago River Anglers are catching pike, smallmouth bass, and catfish on artificial lures on the Winnebago from Mason City to Rockford. Northern Pike Good: Anglers are catching their limits on artificial lures. Channel Catfish - Good: Catfish should be biting well. Try whatever you have available: worms, cutbait, stinkbait, live bait. Some of the best action can be had by throwing a slip sinker rig right in front of a snag/logjam and waiting for a bite. Smallmouth Bass - Good: Smallmouth are also hitting well on a variety of artificial baits. East Fork Des Moines (Algona to Humboldt) Water is low and anglers are using kayaks. Northern Pike - Good: Pike are also being caught on crankbaits. Channel Catfish - Good: Catfish are good size (3-8 pounds) and can be caught on a variety of bait (worms, cutbait, live bait, stinkbait). Some anglers have had good luck using a purpledescent crankbait. Smallmouth Bass - Good: Smallmouth (most are 10-14 inches though some may push the 20-inch mark) hitting gold and black crankbaits. For lake updates and fishing information in the north central area contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at 641-357-3517. Big Spirit Lake Smallmouth Bass - Slow: Look around rock piles and weed lines with a combination being even better. Largemouth Bass - Slow: Fish have been found in a few different areas but there doesn’t seem to be a clear cut pattern. Pitching docks, cranking weed lines, and top water early and late have all caught a few fish. Walleye - Slow: Fishing con-

West Fork overcomes confusion; sweeps Corn Bowl foe Riceville By Kristi Nixon SHEFFIELD – There may have been a little confusion about the line-up, but there was no doubt when West Fork’s volleyball team took on Riceville on Thursday, Sept. 19. Twice in the match, officials stopped play to check the Warhawks’ lineup, but each time it was cleared with no infraction. Besides, first-year coach Abbee Gappa is doing some juggling with her setters. Nonetheless, West Fork kept the Wildcats winless with a 25-8, 25-22, 25-12 win. “We’re trying a new rotation, trying to switch things up, trying to find a solid setter to continue on all the way around,” Gappa said. “So, I think once we get in our rotation, it will work itself out.” While looking for the right setter combination, the Warhawks got 21 assists from senior Peyton Perkins and 12 from freshman Kaitlyn Liekweg. But when checking in a libero, play was stopped twice. “It was (also) just a mix-up with the libero, it was an error on the crew that was (refereeing),” Gappa said. “He admitted it, so we’re good.” Lindsey Peterson finished with 25 kills while Courtney Larson had eight as West Fork improved to 4-4 overall (2-1 Corn Bowl Conference). “I could have done a lot better,” Larson said, adding that she has gotten help from Peterson. “She Peterson) is an amazing hitter and all

that and I love her as a teammate, she helps me out a lot in practices, helping me where to be on the court, where to hit cross or line. It’s a bigger help for me more than anything.” Riceville entered the match at 0-7, but both Gappa and Larson agreed that teams like that can be dangerous and it showed. “They came out, honestly surprised me a little bit, too, especially that second game,” Gappa said of Riceville. “I’ve been telling the girls all season we just can’t beat ourselves. We’ve been telling ourselves that all season, that second game, it was typical of the fact that we don’t get a free ball over we beat ourselves. I hope they saw that tonight – I know they saw that there.” Larson added, “A lot of teams come in thinking they’re going to own the team, but we came in thinking what we thought last week and we knew we should come in and going to play well and play good as a team and we did.” West Fork started the season 3-0, lost four straight before getting back on track against the Wildcats. “Coming out against North Butler was pretty good, you know everyone was pumped for it,” Larson said. “No one thought we were going to win, so we came out thinking that Nashua was not very good competition and we didn’t have our heads in it very well.” Gappa added, “We were going through a little bit of a hiccup, we had a rough game against Nashua and, honestly, I thought we were going to come out with a victory

Shootout at Sheffield:

A-P tops West Fork in offensive extravaganza By Kristi Nixon SHEFFIELD – If offense was what you were looking for, the West Fork vs. Aplington-Parkersburg football game was the place to be on Friday, Sept. 20. The two teams combined for more than 1,000 yards in a highpowered offensive battle of Class 1A, District 3 foes as the Falcons got the best of the Warhawks, 65-30. West Fork quarterback Spencer Halloran accounted for nearly 400 of his team’s yards, both passing and rushing, and had a hand in all four touchdowns for the Warhawks. He surpassed the 6,000yard mark for his career in both rushing and passing. “He’s unreal,” West Fork head coach said of Halloran. “I told the guys, ‘how many adjustments are we going to have to make next year with our offense to figure out how to move the ball ?’ There are times where he carries six guys with him and you can’t coach or teach that. “He makes me look good when I call a play – he’s incredible.” It was a key momentum shift in the third quarter that dashed any hopes of a West Fork comeback after trailing 28-6 early in the second quarter. The Warhawks converted on a big 50-yard touchdown run by Halloran to cut the Falcons’ lead

to 49-30 and Austin Neff recovered the ensuing onside kick. West Fork proceeded to march down the short field and had a second down and 14 situation at the 16-yard line. Halloran’s pass intended for Tyson Pillard, however, was intercepted in the end zone by A-P’s Ross Cooper. Two big plays later and the Falcons were in the end zone for a potential 16-point swing. “We had a big loss to make it second and 16 and it kind of changed the play-calling,” Huber said. “We got to the edge of the area where it is tough to pick up that first down or get into the end zone and that’s a big drive – you cut that lead to like 11, I think it would have been with the two-point conversion – and then they go down and score. That’s a momentum-killer.” Big plays were big for A-P on Friday night, scoring five times on plays of 37 yards or more, including an 85-yard kickoff return, a 72yard run and a 38-yard pass play. A-P rolled up 617 yards of offense, 550 coming on the ground. Tyler Duster finished with 226 rushing yards while Alex Johnson tallied 225 with three rushing scores. The Warhawks travel to Jewell this Friday to take on South Hamilton (3-1). “I think we’re getting better,”

Huber said. “It’s just we’ve had a really tough grind the first four games and offensively we’re as good as you’re going to see in the state. “Defensively, I told the guys, ‘it’s all about the weight room – that’s a weight room game.’ A-P was in there all summer long, that’s what they live on in their program and that’s what we’ve got to develop. Otherwise, we can’t beat teams in the trenches, which is where it starts.” Aplington-Parkersburg 65, West Fork 30 A-P 22 13 22 8 - 65 WF 6 16 8 0 - 30 FIRST QUARTER A-P – Alex Johnson 2 run (Nick Waller kick) 10:03 WF – Spencer Halloran 7 run (kick failed) 4:12 A-P – Ross Cooper 85 kickoff return (Tyler Duster run) 4:00 A-P – Duster 72 run (Waller kick) 2:17 SECOND QUARTER A-P – Johnson 28 run (kick blocked) 10:41 WF – Tyson Pillard 38 pass from Halloran (Collin Arndt pass from Halloran) 7:55 A-P – Johnson 39 run (Waller kick) 6:00 WF – Halloran 5 run (Pillard pass
