Eberling retires after 25 years with Navy Reserve By Nick Pedley Amy Eberling knew she always wanted to serve her country, but she didn’t know she’d spend a quarter of a century doing so when she signed up for the U.S. Navy Reserve in 1988. Eberling recently closed the book on 25 years of service at a ceremony held in Des Moines to celebrate her retirement Nov. 2. The event capped Eberling’s long career and brought together many of the Sheffield woman’s former colleagues and current friends to honor her military accomplishments. Eberling was presented the Presidential Certificate of Appreciation, which she said made the night even more special. “Everything went really well,� Eberling said. “It was good seeing people, and to see how people put it together to honor me and my family, it was nice.� Eberling began her military career six days after she graduated from West Central High School in Hartford, S. Dak. She said her father’s career in the navy sparked her own interest, and she signed up as part of the delayed entry program at age 17. The trip to boot camp in 1988 was one of many firsts for Eberling. It was the first time she had ever been away from home, and it began to get to her early on. “Misery loves company, so as long as I had someone there to share it

with, it was okay,� she said. “But of reserve duty, Eberling finally surprise,� she said regarding the being that far away from home for got called up to head overseas to promotion. “It’s a big role in the the first time was sort of tough.� America’s ongoing conflict Navy, and it carries a bigger Eberling enrolled in Navy Hospiin Afghanistan. burden of responsibility. tal Corps School after her recruit Basically, you’re a mantraining.

Sheffield council handles light night Monday

Blabbermouth

“Blabbermouth,� one of 2 plays presented by the West Fork School payers, along with “Crush� last week. More photos on page 7!

By Nick Pedley The Sheffield City Council made fast and efficient work out of a relatively light agenda at Monday night’s meeting. The group began the session by discussing the city’s cemetery fees and policies. According to Councilman Ron Simmons, some price discrepancies arose recently over weekend burials and grave digging costs during the winter. Simmons said some people have been charged overtime for burials during the weekends and also during the winter due to added labor costs affiliated with thawing the ground. However, Simmons said there’s nothing on the books that allow for fluctuating cemetery prices. “We can’t just pick and choose how we change our policies,� he said. Both Simmons and Councilman Nick Wilson stressed the need for one flat burial fee. Wilson said the cost should be enough to cover

expenses in both warm and cold weather, a point in which the rest of the group agreed. The council felt the current cemetery fee of $400 for a full burial and $125 for a cremation burial was sufficient, and there was no need to change it. The group agreed to send letters to area churches and funeral services reaffirming the cemetery policies and prices. “We need to get something in writing, because we have to be fair to everybody,� said Simmons. After approving a small list of routine business, Mayor Jim Saylor informed the council he had received some complaints from residents about certain buildings throughout Sheffield. Saylor said some citizens were concerned the council was neglecting zoning laws because buildings for commercial use have been constructed in residentially zoned areas recently. Some council members felt the zoning commission left the city

with their hands tied. If the commission approves the construction of a commercial structure in a residential area, the council claimed it’s often too late for action before the city hears about it. “If the zoning commission gives them permission, we don’t know about it until the building goes up,� said Councilman Kenny Berding. Saylor was sympathetic with the council’s issues over current zoning codes and admitted they’ve been lax in enforcing them in past years. However, Saylor felt the group should adhere to the rules more strictly in the future to avoid any potential problems. “You’re going to have to change it or else you’ll have a lawsuit on your hands,� he said. “I just wanted to bring that up. I guess you guys just do what you want with it.� Following the zoning discussion, the council approved a finance report from the Renner & Birchem accounting firm. The council had

hired Renner & Birchem to sort through the city’s financial statements and balance accounts over the summer. Additionally, new software was recently purchased that will make monitoring finances much easier and transparent. According to Clerk Amanda Dannen, the city has already started seeing the benefits of the improvements. “Once we transferred that $26,000 from the debt service [account], we saw that we were actually sitting better than we thought,� she said. Other business The group gave the go-ahead for the Harvest Hustle 5K scheduled for this Saturday. Runners may register at the park beginning at 8 a.m., with race planned to start at 9 a.m. Finally, the council agreed to close the burn site on Dec. 1, or after the first measurable snowfall – whichever comes first. The council will meet next on Monday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m.

By Nick Pedley Snowflakes and packed gyms greeted visitors at two Veterans Day programs in Sheffield and Rockwell on a blustery November morning Monday. The day’s tributes kicked off at Sheffield in the high school gym. American Legions from Sheffield, Thornton and Meservey were on hand to lead the ceremonies which featured both music and speakers. Legion Commander Dick Brown welcomed guests prior to the posting of the colors. Pastor Art Zewert delivered the invocation and benediction, while the West Fork High School band and choir provided the program’s music. Director Shannon Curtis led the band in “The Star Spangled Banner� and “Where Eagles Soar,� which were followed by the choir’s stirring rendition of “Battle Hymn of the Republic.� The program was highlighted by guest speaker Bill Pick, Capt. ARNG Ret. Pick lives in Sheffield and is a member of local American Legion Post #277. He gave guests a history of Veterans Day, and also touched on why the holiday was important to honor America’s service men and women for their commitment to our freedoms and

liberties. The program came to a close following a solemn firing squad salute to fallen veterans and the playing of “Taps.� Following the tribute at Sheffield, it was on to Rockwell for a program hosted by Terri Anderson’s eighth grade U.S. history class. The group provided an informative program to an audience comprised of classmates, veterans and members of the public. Kendall Cobb gave guests a history of Veterans Day, which was

followed by a poem and PowerPoint presentation with guitar music from by Ciara Hansen and Payton Kuhlemier. A trio comprised of Lauren Dohlman, Sarah Retz and Aydan Wood sang “God Bless America,� before Talia Rowe’s introduction of the main event – guest speaker Harold Hopp. Hopp shared a few anecdotes from his service in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. His stories highlighted his first impressions of the destroyer he served on, coping with death during wartime and de-

tails of a mission he was involved with that blew up a Korean supply train. However, Hopp’s overarching message to the many students in attendace was simple: be a good citizen to the country in which you live, but above all, be a good person and son or daughter to your parents. The program culminated with a rendition of “Taps� by Daniel Novotney and middle school band director Shannon Curtis. More photos on page 8.

The “Other� News from Ridgestone Golf Club

Resisting the rivalry This past weekend was surprisingly another good one in my sports world. The Hawkeye football team became bowl-eligible after beating Purdue, and the Detroit Lions knocked off Chicago to take sole possession of first place in NFC North. The results were quite a shock to me – I was positive both of my football teams were doomed to yet another season of mediocrity before the first kickoff this year. Nonetheless, Detroit’s victory was even sweeter because it came against a longtime divisional rival. Iowa’s win, on the other hand, was a little less impressive. Purdue is awful this year and pretty much gave up during the second half on Saturday. However, the game was technically a rivalry match-up, which might need a little explaining for those less versed in Big Ten Conference football history. For most of their existence, Iowa and Purdue played against one another as typical league opponents. The schools aren’t close to one another, they weren’t usually duking it out for a league championship at season’s end, and there just simply wasn’t much bad blood between the two. However, all that “changed� when Nebraska joined the conference in 2011. The now 12-team Big Ten was split up into the Leaders and Legends division, which consequently disrupted some of the league’s traditional rivalries. Michigan and Ohio State were in separate divisions, and the split also cancelled other big annual match-ups like Min-

nesota/Wisconsin and Iowa/ Wisconsin. Big Ten officials attempted to remedy the situation by allowing each team one rivalry game against an opponent from the other division. Some were obvious – the Buckeyes and Wolverines got each other, while the Gophers and Badgers were promised a game every year as well. However, others were more head scratching. Iowa, who lost their cross-divisional rival to another locked match-up, was left out to dry and forced to look elsewhere. Thus, the Purdue/ Iowa rivalry was born, and it’s been “raging� ever since. Sportswriters and other pundits have jokingly referred to Purdue as Iowa’s most hated rival since the two teams started playing under the rivalry moniker two years ago. Their backhanded criticism of the game seems warranted, as the match-up exemplifies the money-driven mentality that’s gripped the Big Ten for the past few years. The conference now stands 14 members strong after the league added three new teams dating back to 2010. These moves have created larger TV markets for the conference, in turn driving up advertising revenue and boosting profits. The new additions have also

Like three Ninja (is the plural Ninji?) we disappeared onto the course and waged a battle as never witnessed before. Not ones to brag, let it be known we “tore that course up�. Not going into detail suffice it to say we did not let a little fog deter us from our “day off�. The only episode I shall address is hole #6. As the winds began to swell and a rain pelted us in the face we looked out upon #6. The “Marksman� led off with a good drive, going for the hole. His ball just visible on the fringes of the green. Next up, the H-E-M-R Holmstrom pulled out the “big gun�. This club looks like a ham on a stick. He teed up the ball and with a grand swing the ball leapt off the tee and disappeared twenty feet away. Of course, it disappeared twenty feet straight up! Landing eight feet in front of our leader, the ball presented no problem in its location. “Sniper� Campbell shot one out into the gathering gale and it was gone. Lost. As we looked around the damp, soggy course we came across Campbell’s ball nestled on a plate on Bob Atkinson’s dining room table. While we were in there we had sandwiches and beverages. (Thanks, Bob!) The weather worsened and we were forced to skip holes 7 and 8. #9 was just a blur as the weather was throwing everything it had at us. Cold and wet we escaped into the fortress where Dean (the Man) gave us warm food and a magnum of an adult beverage. With the feeling returning to our extremities we vowed to return one day and face the General and his troops, to one day stand on the field of battle and show these Wednesday morning warriors that the men of the United States Postal Service stand by their motto “We Deliver�!

created mandatory rivalry games within the conference, and it seems Big Ten officials are forcing the issue when they announce these things. Iowa and Nebraska play for a trophy, but it has nothing to do with football. The match-up is confusingly dubbed the “Heroes Game.� Both teams honor local citizens from each state who’ve done something brave or extraordinary over the previous year. It’s a nice tribute, but why exactly are these two teams playing for a trophy over it? Money, that’s why. By slapping the rivalry label on the game, you can sell advertising at higher rates and trick people into thinking the match-up is more special than it actually is. This creates a false sense of exclusivity, and it’s seen throughout the conference. Maryland and Rutgers will play a “rivalry� game each year once they join the Big Ten in 2014, which makes sense based on the schools’ proximity to one another. However, I wish they’d let the schools build a little conference tradition and make the game interesting before they slap the rivalry sticker on it – it’s not as important as they’re making it out to be. As it stands now, Iowa played in five rivalry games this year – Iowa State, Minnesota, Purdue, Wisconsin and Nebraska. Four of those games have trophies, three of which are in-conference. Only one rivalry game remains on the Hawkeyes’ schedule this year – Nebraska on Nov. 29. While I’m invested in the outcome, excuse me if my anti-Husker feelings are a little dulled come time for kickoff. I’ve already used up most of my hate on the other four teams.

way we like it. As we rounded the far wall of the fortress we came face to face with the guardian of the citadel. Dean laughed as he met us at the door. It was as if he had seen this strange behavior before. Golfing on such a desolate day, devoid of all sunshine and a hint of threatened rain. “ Go forth, you brave souls,� he cried, “and I shall mourn you when you are lost in the fog of competition!� Undaunted by these words, we strode to the first tee and with powerful hands pulled forth from their sheath the first weapon to see battle this day. First to set the ball on the tee was Mark “Marksman� McDowell, famed rural letter carrier, known throughout the known universe as “the other guy�. Such prowess as he set the ball and with steely eyes searched the perimeter for a landmark to aim for. Relying on his unflappable skill, he swung the mighty club and the ball launched away and disappeared into the fog. We all listened. No sound. Good ball. Next up, our leader. Chiseled face, rippling arms, dark eyes that hold many secrets of this game. Bill “High-Exalted-Mystic-Ruler� Holmstrom. Known for his use of the entire course, including the long grass, Bill placed the ball on the tee and with the sound of thunder the ball faded into the fog drenched countryside. We all listened, again. No sound. Good Ball. With the speed, agility and skill of a samurai, Denny “Sniper� Campbell was off the first tee and into the muck of fog. Wielding his driver like Thor’s hammer he drove the ball like lightning off the tee. We all listened. No sound. Then the sound of glass breaking. “Turn around�, said Bill, “you hit the clubhouse.�

by Denny Campbell As the dawn broke on Wednesday, the nine holes of Ridgestone were cloaked by a dense fog and a stillness heretofore not seen by mere mortals. The flag on each pin drooped, soaked by the morning dew and hidden from view. The veil of fog hid also the arrival of three stalwart gamesmen. Men of action, dedicated to the notion that “ neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed roundsâ€?. The “roundsâ€? this day, this fog drenched day, were to be a round of golf. Nine holes of sweat and toil to prove to the world that we do not tire from the challenge. We, the men of the Sheffield Post Office, do not cringe in the face of adversity. We do not back down from the “gameâ€? when the weather gets a little murky. We face all adversaries head on‌eye to eye‌club to club. And so it was this dreary morning that three battle-hardened men of the Postal Service met to challenge the elders of the Wednesday morning golf troop. The ones whose exploits we read about each week. We came to face General Severe and his troops. But, alas, as General Eisenhower once said, (or was it Peter Sellers) “What if they had a war and no one showed up?â€? We three warriors strode the parking lot, gazed through the fog shrouded hills and saw that we, the three men of the USPS, were the only ones desperate enough to play in these conditions. As we moved about we used all our skills of camouflage and stealth to reconnoiter the area. Alone. Dreary. Dismal. Just the

I had no troubles here at the office this past week! Makes me wonder what will happen next! There goes that negative thinking again. Lots of printing completed without any problems. That makes the job even more rewarding. I did have something happen that has never happened in the 57 years I have been here . . . but I just spent the past 10 minutes trying to remember what it was . . . and can’t! That’s gonna’ bother me until I remember. Apparently not all that important! Anyway, it was a good week and things are already lining up for this to be a positive one, too. I hope those presses in the back will cooperate. I need all the help I can get! Home . . . evenings spent doing the usual: not cooking, taking care of my cleaning and washing chores, and absorbing what little knowledge the TV has to offer! Moving the TV in the bedroom to higher ground has been a big help. Now I enjoy going to bed . . . for the almost 15 minutes that I stay awake! One night I went to Mason City to shop for Lidia’s birthday. She’s seems to be at the age that Papa doesn’t have a clue what to buy her. A visit with Angela and I got some ideas. Spent an hour trying to find what I wanted . . . and had some luck. (In all fairness to me . . . I don’t spend a whole lot of time in the toy department these days!) Saturday spent some time here at the office, trying to clean off my desk the stuff that had accumulated during the week. Leaving that until Monday morning is no way to start the week! Sunday up and at ‘em a little earlier than usual so as to get things done on the home front, check out The Press, and head to Altoona for Little Lid’s 4th birthday party. She had her little friends party on Saturday at Jordan Creek. Sunday it was for family, and Monday was to be at daycare. She received lots of things that old Papa never heard of! I have a feeling that will go on for years. (I just hope I do!) Spent the day play-

ing with her and visiting with other folks there. Mid-afternoon and it was time to head north as Lidia and her parents both looked as if a nap was in order. Me too, but driving and napping aren’t compatible! Made a stop at the antique mall in Story City. For me it’s sort of a “remember when� thing. And also a reminder of just how old I am. I’m way more than an antique; more like a primitive! But as someone once said: “Getting older is a privilege not given to everyone.� How true we find that to be as we get on in years. Be good, Kids+! It’s Showtime!

Concerned about probate costs, power of attorney, or use of trusts? Estate planning involves alot more than just Federal estate taxes. Federal estate tax laws have undergone many changes recently. The Franklin County Extension Service will offer a program on estate planning on Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at Hampton State Bank in Hampton.

MAGISTRATE COURT The following actions were resolved recently in Franklin County Magistrate Court: • Maria Zuninga De Hernandez, 40, Hampton, pled guilty on October 31 to disorderly conduct. On the same date she was fined $75, assessed a $26.25 surcharge, and $60 court costs. • James Michael Newman, 40, Hampton, pled guilty on October 31 to disorderly conduct. On the same date she was fined $100, assessed a $52.50 surcharge, and $60 court costs.

The Chapin news from the girl and her dog By Kay Rother and Mouska My last article explained how Chapin was given its name. Well, I did some more research on the old Chapin, or what was then referred to as “Four Corners.� You will not believe what I discovered – contradicting stories. Seems like Mr. J.B. Grinnell was a scout for the railroad. He was quoted as saying, Mr. Horace Greely, his friend and the man who coined the phrase, “Go west young man, go west,� was the reason he came west. He liked an area seven miles northwest of the newly-formed town of Hampton. However, that is not the intriguing story. The story of how Chapin got its name is. In one report written on the Internet under Franklin County, Iowa, you will read the town folk were so grateful to the Grinnells for donating a bell to the church that they named the town Chapin – the

maiden name of Mrs. Grinnell. Delta McKee said that story was not the one she had heard, so she let me borrow books written by Mrs. Bernie Griemann, a local Chapin and Ross Township historian. Griemann has since passed away, but her legacy in reporting the truth lives on. It seems like Mr. Grinnell, who was also a Congregational minister, thought the newly-erected two story log cabin needed a bell. The bottom of the building was used as a school and the upstairs as a church. So he asked his wife for the money, and she agreed to pay $400 for it under one stipulation – the town would be renamed Chapin, which was her maiden name. They say history repeats itself. I wonder if Chapin will be renamed in the near future. Oh well, I hope not I kinda like the name Chapin, and I know Bernie did too.

Everyone who hasn’t reviewed their estate plan in the last six months should take the time to learn about the recent changes. Kelvin Leibold, Farm Management Field Specialist will present the latest changes in estate planning information. The topics will include: property ownership, wills, federal estate tax, Iowa inheritance tax, gifting, trusts, and gift taxes. “This

is a program that applies to everyone, not just farmers,� emphasizes Leibold. “Often thousands of dollars in taxes or fees can be avoided by good planning,� states Leibold. The recent tax act made major changes to the federal estate tax laws. Leibold will highlight the recent legislative changes to estate tax regulations. This program will provide background information

to assist participants to work more effectively with their professional and legal advisors. The cost of the program is $10 per person or $15 per couple. To register or for more information, call the Franklin County Extension Office at 641-456-4811 or email at sackvill@iastate.edu.

Help For Iowa Veterans In Need Military service is a life-changing event for service members and their families. Our obligation to veterans continues long after they return home. The Veterans Trust Fund is there to help those in the greatest need. The Legislature created the Veterans Trust Fund in 2003 and invested about $6 million in state dollars. To increase the balance in the Fund and help more veterans in need, the Legislature voted in 2008 for the Iowa Lottery to create patrioticthemed scratch and pull-tab games with profits going to the Fund. These instant lottery games bring in $2 million to $3 million annually. In addition, Iowans who file a tax return may designate a donation to the Veterans Trust Fund through an income tax check off. As of Sept. 30, the Fund had reached a balance of $18.1 million. Interest earned on the Veterans Trust Fund has been helping veterans and their families, particularly those with limited incomes who have immediate needs, since December 2007. The Iowa Commission of Veterans Affairs administers the Fund, authorizing requests for unemployment assistance due to service-related causes; health and

dental care; medical equipment and prescription drugs; counseling and substance abuse treatment; home and vehicle repairs; and emergency housing. To better protect our veterans from the long-term effects of brain injury, the Legislature voted this year to allow the Veterans Trust Fund to cover screening for servicerelated traumatic brain injury for those who do not qualify for any other government program, private health insurance or managed care organization. During the 2013 session, we also established an account within the Veterans Trust Fund to defray college expenses for children of service members who died on active duty prior to 9/11 by transferring $129,000 from the War Orphans Educational Assistance Fund. The federal Post 9/11 GI Bill covers college tuition for children of military personnel killed in action since September 11, 2001.

IOWA STATE PATROL Tuesday, October 26: • 9:55 a.m.: Troopers investigated an accident .27 miles east of Lark Ave. on Highway 3 westbound. According to the report on file, a 1998 Dodge Durango driven by Trisha Sarmiento, 26, Hampton, was initially westbound. She dropped her passenger, Benny Reyna, Hampton, off following an argument in the vehicle. Sarmiento then turned her vehicle around on Highway 3 and drove east. She turned around again and drove west to return to Reyna’s location on the north shoulder of the roadway. She was unable to come to a stop before striking Reyna with the front of the vehicle. She then lost control of the vehicle, left the

roadway to the right, and came to rest in the north ditch, upright, facing west. Reyna came to rest on the ground in front of the vehicle. Sarmiento was cited for failure to maintain control. Reyna was taken to Franklin General Hospital by Franklin County EMS. Saturday, November 2: • 10:09 p.m.: Troopers investigated a car-deer accident on Highway 65 southbound north of 210th St. According to the report on file, a 2003 GMC Yukon, driven by Nicholas Henry Reynolds, 64, Hampton, was southbound on Highway 65, when the Yukon struck a deer with the front of the vehicle.

Big show, big lights, big voice: Staudt to perform at UNI-Dome By Nick Pedley West Fork junior Celeste Staudt will briefly become the center of attention at one of the state’s largest amateur sporting events next weekend in Cedar Falls. However, she won’t be playing in any game. Staudt was selected to perform the national anthem at the Class 4A high school football championship game in the UNI-Dome Nov. 22. The performance will be the biggest of Staudt’s music career, and she admitted that she’s already felt some jitters. “I don’t know what it’s going to be like, but I know I’m going to be very, very nervous,” she said. “Our musical here at school is nothing like this.” Though the size of the crowd may be a little intimidating, Staudt has plenty of reasons to be confident in her musical abilities. She’s become quite a standout in both choir and band during her first three years at West Fork and is involved in nearly all facets of the music department. She’s in chamber choir, show choir, women’s choir and concert choir, and also plays the flute, piano and occasionally the piccolo and oboe in band. Staudt also attended a list of music clinics, vocal festivals and honor choir events at various colleges across the state this fall with her fellow classmates. Her dedication and hard work didn’t go unnoticed by West Vocal Music Director Shelby Wilson, who felt Staudt would be a perfect fit when she saw an opening for the 4A championship game. “I already had her voice recorded and they needed someone. So, I just sent off the recording to them and they chose her,” Wilson said. “It’s

more of a nomination thing than a try-out.” Staudt is Wilson’s first West Fork student to be selected to sing at an event of such size. She plans to start working with Staudt over the next week in preparation for the performance, but she felt Staudt is more than capable of putting on a good show without her help “It’s wonderful to work with someone who’s as passionate about music as Celeste is,” Wilson said. “She’s not only extremely talented, but she also works hard at what she STAUDT to page does.” Staudt got her start in music at young age during performances at church. Her passion has blossomed in the years since, and she’s begun to eye other opportunities when her career at West Fork comes to an end in 2015. She hopes to continue singing in college but remained hesitant to get too serious about it. “It doesn’t seem like a promising career, because so many people go into – it’s just not realistic,” she said. “I’ll definitely be involved in choir at college, but I don’t know if it’ll be part of my major.” All that future planning seemed trivial to Staudt as she talked about her upcoming performance at the UNI-Dome. She’s sung the national anthem in front of crowds at West Fork basketball and volleyball games before, and said she hoped that experience would pay off in her preparation for next Friday’s game. However, her practice strategy remained rather simple. “We’ll just find out which key works and sounds the best and use that,” she said.

She explained the program she worked with was self-sufficient, which made her services unnecessary. Twenty-five years of duty have given Eberling a lot of time to reflect on her life with the Navy Reserve. She’s proud of her service, but noted she still has some minor regrets. “It’s like any other job. You look back and you think about doing more training here, or a little extra there,� she said. “You live and learn.� With her military retirement behind her, Eberling said she plans to focus attention on raising her four children with her husband, Corey, and on her civilian job at Mercy Heart and Vascular Institute Device Clinic in Mason City. There will be no more drills, mission trips or training, but Eberling said she still

hopes to keep ties with the Navy Reserves in the future. “It’s always been a part of my

life, and it’s going to be hard to completely let it go,� she said. “I’ll definitely be doing things with my

Navy friends. It’s the people that I’ll miss. You just make so many good friends.�
