Thornton council hears request to build bus stop shelter By Nick Pedley Thornton will receive a new gazebo-like structure at the old school yard thanks to the volunteer efforts of one local girl. Lauren Moore met with the city council their meeting Monday night to discuss her proposed Girl Scout project for Thornton. The teenager needed the group’s approval to move forward with plans to build a structure on the former Meservey-Thornton school yard, which is now owned by the city. Moore said the structure will resemble a gazebo and would protect children waiting for the school bus from inclement weather. “I think that it’s a great idea and I’m all for it,� said Council Member Betty Jensen. Other members of the group echoed Jensen, but they wanted Moore to keep the council posted on the project’s development. Council Member Barry Groh felt the structure would be a nice addition to the town, but wanted the council to have some oversight since it’s on the city’s property. “My thought would be is that we’d like to be included with the placement and have some input with the design,� he said. Moore agreed, and said she just needed the council’s OK to relay the information back to Girl Scout officials. Moore brought along a model of the shelter she planned to build, and said costs were tentatively estimated at $7,500. She hopes to begin fundraising soon and was unsure of a completion date. The bus stop used to be at the old school house but moved near the park after the buidling closed. Moore’s plan would move it back to the school yard if officials from West Fork allow. She said her tentative blueprints included retractable side-doors that could be closed during the winter or times of other bad weather. “This is something she wants to do for the

city, but also for the kids, because she cares about them,� said Moore’s mother, Bev. After giving the bus stop project the go-ahead, council members shifted attention to a long list of procedural business on their agenda. Public Works Director Tom Janeka informed the group about upcoming repairs to a damaged fire hydrant near the elevator, which had raised some eyebrows in the months since it broke. The hydrant was allegedly damaged in August when area fire departments came to Thornton to refill their tanks during a car fire on Interstate 35. Officials from the city and Thornton Fire Department were unaware other squadrons were coming into town to use the hydrant, and questions arose about who would pay for the damage after the incident occurred. However, Janeka said the visitors weren’t to blame. “It looks to me like it’s been broke for a long time,� he said, noting that the broken parts were extremely old and worn. Janeka thought damage to hydrant was most likely furthered when the elevator demolished the old feed mill this summer. He suspected the ground near the hydrant moved quite a bit during the destruction, and thought it might have worsened the already crippled piece of equipment. Repairs would be easy and relatively inexpensive, and Janeka said only small parts needed replacement. “It’s a whole lot better than tearing up the road to get to it,� he said. “Hopefully everything comes a part good and in two hours we can get it back up.� Other business The council set the city’s trick-or-treat date and time for Oct. 31, from 5-7 p.m. The council’s next meeting will be held 7 p.m., on Nov. 4

Rockwell council handles a light load last Wednesday By Nick Pedley Biweekly review of the city code topped a rather thin agenda at the Rockwell City Council’s meeting October 2. The council discussed throwing out the city’s curfew ordinance due to a lack of necessity. According to Rockwell Police Chief Rick Whitney, the curfew rules aren’t enforceable at a higher level if a citation is issued to a juvenile in violation of the rule. Currently, youths aren’t allowed in the streets, parks or other city property past 11 p.m. “Last time I filed one, juvenile courts called me and asked what I wanted them to do about it,� shared Whitney. “If I file one, it won’t be pursued.�

Whitney said curfew violations and citations aren’t an issue and suggested the council remove the ordinance from the code. Because it’s not really enforceable, Whitney said he basically ignores it. However, Council Member David Laudner was cautious about completely throwing out the statute. He felt the council should leave it on the books in case a problem should arise down the road. “If it’s not an issue, it’s not an issue,� said Laudner. Council Member Mike Flatness agreed. Both felt completely removing it could prove costly for Rockwell down the road. “It’s almost easier to leave it in than say 10 years from now, ‘Gee,

I really wish we would have had that in there,’ for whatever reason,� said Flatness. No action was taken on the matter, and the council moved on to other business. Public Works Director Jay Siefken informed the group he had contacted the owner of the Oakbrook Apartments. The council was interested in purchasing the vacant land on the apartment complex’s property to turn it into green space or a park. The bridge and road that runs through the property are in need of repair, and the group felt paying for those costs would be an ill-advised expense for a street that sees little traffic. Siefken was hesitant about mov-

ing forward with the land purchase. He said the council could run into some red tape if they proceed because the apartments are federally subsidized. He also pointed out the playgrounds at Linn Grove Park, Ziedler Park and the school building see little usage and felt another would be overkill. Siefken investigated the cost of playground equipment, and noted that it wasn’t cheap. The council felt an offer shouldn’t be made that totaled more than the cost to take over the land via eminent domain. Siefken said the ground lies within a floodplain, so it’s value would be minimal. The group discussed closing the road that runs through the property all

together to save optimum costs, but decided more information is needed if the city wants to move forward with the project. “I’d have to think about it a lot more before I figure out if it’s city money well spent, or if it’d be better used someplace else,� said Mayor Steve Karabatsos. Other business The council set the trick-or-treat date and time for Oct. 31 from 5-7 p.m. The council’s next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 16, at 7 p.m. A public hearing is scheduled for 7:05 p.m., that evening regarding a zoning change from residential to commercial in Lots 7 and 8 of Block 8 in Rockwell.

West Fork FFA’ers participate in artificial insemination workshop By Nick Pedley A group of West Fork FFA students headed to Iowa Falls Oct. 3 and gained some handson experience with a rather unique area of the livestock industry. Ten students from Bret Spurgin’s Animal Science class participated in an artificial insemination workshop hosted by the Iowa Falls-Alden FFA Chapter featuring experts from Iowa State University and Ellsworth Community College. Students practiced insemination on organs removed from a cow’s reproductive tract, learned about the uses of ultrasound and

watched an artificial insemination on a live animal. The session gave students a first-hand take on an important part of the industry that doesn’t get much attention, according to Spurgin. “Obviously, most of them won’t be raising cattle or artificially inseminating cattle,� he said. “But it gives them a really good idea of the work that gets put into it and the science behind it.� One of the workshop’s stations was particularly handson. Students were given latex gloves, a reproductive tract removed from a dead cow and

Many students squirmed and grimaced as they practiced the procedure. “I hope not, but you never know,� said West Fork junior Collin Jones-Smeby, when asked if he’d ever have to do a real artificial insemination. “It’s a lot different than learning about it in class,� said West Fork senior Marcus Wogen. “It’s interesting to actually see it other than reading about it.�

Spurgin said the insemination practice station got mixed reviews, but many students enjoyed the experience. “Some of them thought it was cool, some of them didn’t want to do it and then some of them said they’d never do it again,� Spurgin observed. The instructor noted livestock reproduction was only a minor portion of the Animal Science class. So far, students have learned about different species in the livestock industry and the products they produce. As the school year progresses, they’ll tackle topics like nutri-

tion and genetics, while also going more in-depth with the reproduction process. The class is provided by NIACC and allows students to gain college credit if they pass. Spurgin said this was the first time the class participated in the bovine artificial insemination workshop, and he jumped at the opportunity when IF-A FFA instructor Doug Dodd extended an invitation. Spurgin noted the class takes other field trips to places like the North Iowa Boar Stud in Riceville, but this was the only place where FFA to page 3

FFA from page 1 the class could witness an artificial insemination and practice one at the same time. “You can sit in a class and lecture all day about how to do something, but until you sit down and are actu-

ally able to do it, it really makes all the difference,� he said. Overall, Spurgin said the workshop gave students a better idea of how the world’s food production keeps up with ever-increasing demand.

I don’t have many first-hand accounts of harvest season. Most of my experience is limited to the first eight years of my life, but this time of the year always seems to stir fond memories nonetheless. I was raised with rather conflicting influences. My mom’s side of the family was in the newspaper business, but my dad’s side farmed. Some days I’d head up town to the office, but other times I’d head out to the sprawling greens of my grandparents’ acreage. Both provided me a rather unique experience that has stuck with me to this day. Obviously, I chose the news industry over agriculture. My decision was a matter of circumstance more than anything else – my grandparents sold their farm, consequently leaving me with no other option than to pursue my interests elsewhere. However, I always have a few distinct memories that come back each time harvest season rolls “It really lets the kids know how we’re able to produce so much food – especially beef – when the number of farmers is decreasing every year, yet we’re producing more and more beef each year,� he said.

around. Everything seemed so huge out at my grandparents’ place. The tractors were enormous beasts capable of moving anything that crossed their path; the barns were spacious castles that provided endless hours of fun; and the machine shed had a fascinating item in every corner. For a youngster like me at the time, nothing was bigger and more impressive than the farm. Like most little boys, tractors fascinated me. I had many toy models to play with, but nothing beat riding in the actual thing with my grandpa. I’d occasionally get to “drive� the tractor, which essentially meant he let me put my hands on the steering wheel. The experience was monumental for me nonetheless. Telling my farm friends that I had driven a tractor gave me a little more credibility on the playground, and that was key growing up in a rural community. Chore time didn’t equate to much by the time I was old enough to help. My grandpa had quit raising livestock and strictly stuck to farming soybeans and corn. However, there were still a few things to do each morning. It was always fun gathering eggs from the chicken coop or feeding all the farm cats. The cats weren’t tame, but there was one particular hen that always let me pick it up and hold it. I felt like a big shot petting that chicken, as ridiculous as that may seem.

All of these ag experiences came to a close when my grandparents decided to retire. There was no final chapter for the farm until an auction was held to sell everything, but harvest time seemed to be the more poetic ending. I was somewhat oblivious to the significance of that autumn. The fields were as golden as they had always been and my grandpa was just as busy as every other season, but that harvest over 15 years ago was indeed a special time that I’ll never forget. I remember more family members were there to help out and take in the memories. I helped my grandma and aunts bring out a field lunch, and I think I rode along in the combine. I also remember that my sister, who is six years my senior, drove grandpa’s pick-up with just her and me in it – a pretty big deal in those days. It was a fun time that brought the family together to share the final memories of the farm’s last hurrah, and I’m certainly thankful I could share in the experience. Maybe it didn’t mean much to me back then, but it does today. Every now and then I’ll drive past the old farm when I go home for a week-

end. I think back to all times I spent exploring the grove, helping my grandpa or climbing around some old piece of equipment. I’m glad I got to experience a few moments of farm life, even if they were rather brief. I loved the farm and everything on it, and I know many other “city kids� aren’t as lucky as I was growing up. I may only have a few memories of harvest season, but I know that it’s a special time of the year for many farm families – it marks an end to the growing season and all the hard work put in to a successful crop. That’s certainly something to celebrate even if it’s not your final harvest.

True to the course

Area runners like running at Hampton

By Kristi Nixon HAMPTON – What’s not to like about the Mayne’s Grove cross country course? A true cross country course down to the exact mileage, area runners enjoyed it no matter their finish. The No. 6 (Class 1A) West Fork boys cross country team worked its way through the field to finish runner-up to second-ranked (Class 3A) Charles City as the Comets swept the team and individual titles at Hampton-Dumont’s H-D Bulldog Invitational on Thursday afternoon. “It’s one of my favorite meets to run at,� said West Fork freshman runner Jacob Hansen, who recently entered the Iowa Association of Track & Cross Country Coaches rankings at 11th, “and I think that the times today might have been a little bit slower for everybody – I don’t know (why) maybe because of the hills, it’s a pretty good cross country course and pretty challenging, also.� With Peyton Twedt, ranked third in 1A, finishing runner-up to Charles City’s Jacob Day (ranked third in Class 3A), and Drew Engebretson crossing the finish line in 11th, the Warhawks scored 58 points to 27 for the Comets. “We’re all pushing each other, everybody has somebody on the team that pushes them,� Hansen said. “Peyton pushes me and I push Peyton and Drew also pushes me. I mean, everybody just pushes each other. We haven’t had that in the past couple of years as much, but this year we’ve got a lot of inpractice competition. We all make each other better and it really shows because we all brought our times down.� Running in their home meet, the Bulldogs finished fifth in the boys team race while the girls were sixth. Four of H-D’s runners broke 20 minutes, which is something coach Steve Huling’s squad has been aiming for. The top finisher among the H-D boys was Grant Lehmann, who overtook teammate Chase Skarpness with about a mile to go to finish 24th out of 75 runners in the field in 19 minutes, 15 seconds. “I was leading for the first mile and once we went up that ‘heartbreak hill’ he (Skarpness) passed me for probably about a mile. Right before we got to the lake, I decided to go for it. (This is my) season best; last year I got 19:07, so I’m still eight seconds off (a personal best).� Also breaking 20 minutes for the Bulldogs besides Lehmann and Skarpness were Jarred Robinson (19:54.95) and Max Lehmann (19:55.57). Jordan Prantner, meanwhile, overcame back troubles to cross the line first for the H-D girls in 17:37 for 17th. “Last week with two meets and some other activities, it got kind of sore,� Prantner said of her back. “I

went to a chiropractor and got it checked out – they had been working on doing a little therapy with it, so I had a jammed joint and it’s causing some muscles to work harder. “That caused some pain and I wasn’t able to run two of the days this week and I can tell that in the race.â€? Since she missed a few days of practice and with elite competition at the meet, Prantner said she was happy with her finish. “Considering I haven’t done much, I was pretty pleased about it,â€? Prantner said. “I was glad my back wasn’t hurting during the race, but I could tell‌my lungs after taking three days off‌it really changes how you can run and what you can do. “With the competition here – I knew there was going to be good runners from what coach had said and so I was hoping to stay up with a couple that I had ran with in a couple of other meets, but I was still pretty pleased.â€? West Fork’s Maya Rowe was the Warhawks’ top female finisher at 24th in 18:08.37. Area competitors are working their way toward a post-season push. “It’s crazy – it doesn’t seem that long ago that we were starting school and just started practice but conference is coming up and I’m hoping our whole team can get healthy so we can get a good team score in,â€? Prantner said. “(To) get in good shape and run PRs, it would be awesome.â€? Others who were ailing for the Bulldogs included Bekah Christiansen and Jessica Speake. Illiana Bartsch was next to cross the line for the H-D girls in 30th (18:32.53). Hansen said of his team’s postseason goals, “Right now, we are still trying to qualify for state and one of our team goals is to get top three at state so we can bring home a trophy, but we’re really working towards that.â€?

Warhawks sweep Central Springs SHEFFIELD – Lindsey Peterson put down 25 of West Fork’s 38 kills in a 3-0 Corn Bowl Conference sweep of Central Springs on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The senior outside hitter added 27 digs and three aces in the 25-21, 25-23, 25-17 win. In the deceptively competitive match, the lead changed hands 16 times but the Warhawks were able to put away the Panthers to improve to 8-6 overall and 4-1 in the Corn Bowl. Peyton Perkins distributed 25 assists and served up three aces on 10of-11 serving while Courtney Larson added six kills and 15 digs in the victory. The Warhawks were off until another Corn Bowl match on the road against Northwood-Kensett on Tuesday, Oct. 8 and play host to Rockford tonight (Thursday). West Fork 3, Central Springs 0 (25-21, 25-23, 25-17)

Worth the wait:

Warhawks extend homecoming 72 hours for victory By Kristi Nixon SHEFFIELD – One thing is certain, West Fork will never forget this homecoming win. Approximately three days after the Warhawks had to postpone play after lightning kept delaying its Class 1A, District 3 game against Eagle Grove, they finished things off nicely with a 42-7 victory Monday evening. Leading 12-0 with about 2 and a half minutes left in the first half when play resumed, coach Rodney Huber’s squad put the foot on the gas and didn’t let up to earn the second win of the season and first district triumph. “This was the first time it’s ever happened to me (being in a weather-delayed game), so that was unique,” Huber said. “I think that most of the kids had the first time experiencing something like that. I guess it was a good thing because we came a little bit sharper on offense and were able to reiterate some things and clean things up.” Senior captain Spencer Halloran did a little bit of everything on both nights. Friday, he rushed for a touchdown, but threw his only interception of the game. On Monday, he turned things around and finished 14-of-23 for 275 yards and a pair of long touchdowns to Evan Sprung. Halloran added another rushing touchdown on Monday and accounted for 399 yards of overall offense. He also took over on kick-offs late and had a pair of interceptions against Eagle Grove quarterback Devon Omvig in the fourth quarter – one that would have gone for a touchdown but for an illegal block in the back penalty. “I got moved to safety today because they were throwing sweeps,” Halloran said. “It’s a lot easier to make plays on sweeps playing safety than linebacker, so they moved me out there. They threw

Riceville seeks new conference home West Fork’s Collin Arndt turns up the field with Eagle Grove’s Zach Ploeger in pursuit after catching a pass from Spencer Halloran for a 20-yard gain to set up first-and-goal for the Warhawks in the third quarter on Monday evening. The two teams resumed play after Friday’s game was halted due to lightning.

Overall, Halloran was happy with how homecoming ended after the wait. “We haven’t won on homecoming the last couple of years and so this is pretty exciting to win on homecoming for once,” Halloran said. “We haven’t been on the right side of the scoreboard on a lot of blowouts this year, so that was good. “It’s a little different playing on Monday night – I don’t think I’ve ever played on a Monday night, except maybe middle school, but it’s going to suck going to school tomorrow sore. It was good the way we came out and played.” Even though it isn’t homecoming week, it was still a homecoming game to remember. “The guys will always remember this one, how unique it was,”

It was a weird situation because homecoming week is gone and done with. But, they’ll remember it and they got the win so that’s always special.” Tyson Pillard, who scored a touchdown each night, had 11 carries for 72 yards rushing. The Warhawks have a quick turnaround in which they must travel to Nashua-Plainfield (4-3, 2-1) for a key district game. “Friday night is a big game in district for us – we beat Nashua, we like our odds of making the playoffs,” Halloran said. “So, we know how big Friday is and we have to come back, watch film tomorrow and have a couple of good practices this week.” West Fork 42, Eagle Grove 7 EG WF

By Kristi Nixon It isn’t a certainty yet, but Riceville, a Corn Bowl Conference mainstay since the 1960s, is looking to make the leap to the smaller-school Iowa Star Conference. The Wildcats, with a 9-11 grade enrollment official number of 71, is by far the smallest school in the Corn Bowl. If a Monday, Oct. 21 school board meeting approves Riceville to leave the Corn Bowl and later is admitted to the Iowa Star, it would be in the middle of the conference as far as enrollment goes. The average 9-11 enrollment for Iowa Star schools is 84. The switch wouldn’t be effective until the 2015-16 school year and would leave the Corn Bowl with just seven member schools and increase the Iowa Star to 14 after the addition of Valley Lutheran in this school year. This also makes traveling considerations for Riceville a concern, considering the Iowa Star includes Colo-Nesco and Meskwaki Settlement School, round trips of 260 (four hours, 42 minutes) and 244 miles (4:22), respectively. North Butler activities director Todd Thompson said he didn’t want to speculate on something that hasn’t happened yet or discussed within the Corn Bowl school AD’s, principals or superintendents. Clarksville AD Matt Finley, a member of the Iowa Star, said that Riceville potentially could be competition for his conference. “I feel Riceville will be a great addition to the Iowa Star Conference,” Finley said. “It will allow us to have 14 teams in our conference. Also it will be a good fit for Riceville since they will have several schools their same size.” New CAL AD Scott Striegel said that he is too new to the conference in order to make a comment on the potential move. Corn Bowl Conference member West Fork AD Lance Thompson did not return a message for comment. Several steps in the process must first take place for the move, but one thing is certain, Riceville is looking for a new home.
