As per Franklin County Auditor Michelle Giddings, the number of signatures needed would be 46. The Sheffield Press regrets the error.

Sheffield council to fill Wilson’s seat by appointment By Nick Pedley The Sheffield City Council decided at their meeting Monday to move forward with plans to appoint a replacement to fill Nick Wilson’s vacant council seat. Wilson handed in his letter of resignation at the meeting effective Dec. 31. The resignation was necessary so Wilson, who won the Nov. 5 mayoral election, can assume full duties of the mayor’s office beginning Jan 1 The council had two options to choose from to figure out Wilson’s successor: appoint a replacement or call for a special election. The group opted to go with appointment, which will be made at their Jan. 13 meeting. According to City Clerk Amanda Dannen, the council didn’t discuss who they’d pick to fill the void. “No, they didn’t talk about who,� said Dannen on Tuesday. “They need to hear from people who are interested first.� Citizens have the option to petition for a special election if they’re unhappy with the appointment. Forty-six signatures from eligible Sheffield voters would be necessary to bring the vacancy to a vote, according to Franklin County Auditor Mi-

chelle Giddings. The council handled a long list of other business prior to the vacancy discussion. Sheffield Police Chief Ed Hanig presented information regrarding a “dog-at-large� and “vicious dog� citation to Ashley Schroeder that stemmed from a June 19 incident. Schroeder was also on hand to present her side of the story, but the council agreed to delay a decision regarding the dog until January so they have time to meet with their attorney. Steve Wendt, North Iowa Area Council of Governments, gave the council an update on the city’s housing rehabilitation program. Wendt reported that eight rehab projects have been completed to date, and only minor work remains on the ninth. Wendt provided a summary of grant expenditures and local matching funds. $283,280 of the $296,920 grant funds have been drawn or requested, and the city met its local match obligation of $16,000. Dannen administered the oath of office to Mayor-elect Wilson and new council members JC McCaslin and Mike McKee to wrap up the night. The trio needed to take their oaths prior to the new year, but they won’t take effect until Jan. 1.

Funding requests reveal future uncertainty during supervisors’ budget discussion By Nick Pedley The Franklin County Board of Supervisors cautioned at their meeting Monday that statewide tax rollbacks could create revenue cuts during the next fiscal year and strain funding to county departments and other agencies. The supervisors made the warning during annual funding requests from various county-wide entities like local libraries and the fair board. The sessions give the supervisors a number to figure into their

2014-15 budget plans, and the county typically allocates some funding to each entity for improvements and other needs. However, the supervisors warned that their contributions might be little smaller in 201415 than in years past. Commercial property tax reforms go into effect Jan. 1, and the group predicted their budget would become tight as tax revenue shrinks next year. “We are hoping we can maintain funding,� board Chair Corey Eberling told a group

of Franklin County librarians. “We just want to let you know we’re going to try to do the best we can, but things have changed drastictically.� The librarians requested a minimum total of $7,500 for all six libraries in the county next year – $2,500 for the Hampton Public Library and $1,000 apiece for the remaining five in Ackley, Alexander, Coulter, Dows and Sheffield. Hampton Librarian Kim Manning explained to the supervisors her desire to add

another AWE computer to the library. Hampton already has one of the devices for ages 3-8, but Manning said she’d like to add another for older children. The AWE computer helps boosts literacy and technology skills, and Manning said the device has become quite popular among low-income families. “It used to be that children grew up in a home without books, now they grow up without books and a computer,� said Manning. “There’s such a disparity between parents

that can provide technology in the home and the parents that can’t.� Manning said the AWE computer also helps teach members of the Spanish-speaking community better English skills, and she felt the device is needed at all six of Franklin County’s libraries. The librarians extended an alternative funding request in the amount of $15,000 that would pay for a new AWE computer at each library. SUPERVISORS to page 8

No injuries reported after fire destroys two buildings in rural Franklin County By Nick Pedley Six local fire departments responded to a blaze that completely destroyed two shop buildings at the Mark and Susan Rother farm north of Latimer Saturday morning. The Rothers’ son Tony, who lives across the road, saw smoke coming from his parents’ residence just after 8:30 a.m. and reported it to emergency dispatch. Latimer Fire Chief Mike Keehn said he got the call around 8:40 a.m. and gathered his crew to respond to the blaze, which was located relatively far from surrounding towns. The group knew right away they they had their work cut out for them. “We could see the smoke from Latimer, which is well over six miles away,� said Keehn. “We immediately called for Sheffield because we could tell it was going to take a lot of water.� Flames had already engulfed one building on the property upon the Latimer Fire Department’s arrival. The building, which was used as a maintenance shop for the Rothers’ trucking business, wasn’t their only worry, however. The fire was spreading to another nearby building that housed supplies for the Rothers’ construction and masonry business. Fire crews set up water tanks and fought the flames to the best of their ability. The Sheffield Fire Department arrived, but it was nowhere near enough. Departments from Coulter, Thornton, Meservey and Swaledale were eventually called in to assist. “It was a defensive battle with the fire – we call it ‘surround and drown,’ There were no lives at stake, so there was no need to enter,� Keehn explained. “We had pumpers going on all three sides. That’s pretty much all we could do with this one – get water on it.� An LP gas tank located directly next to one of the burning buildings added yet another concern for fire fighters. Keehn said they kept one hose on the tank and monitored its temperature throughout the battle, but no problems ever developed. Frigid temperatures created additional concerns for the crews. Water runoff eventually froze and made the ground extremely FIRE to page 8

Growing Iowa’s Middle Class During the holidays, Iowans give back and help those in need. This year, the Legislature encouraged charitable giving by increasing tax credits for donations to the community foundations. Those measures won’t be enough, however, unless we see more board-based economic growth. Even though the worst of the national recession is over, many of our families, friends and neighbors continue to struggle. According to the Washington Center for Equitable Growth equitablegrowth.org this uneven recovery has increased the gap between the very well off and nearly everyone else. A shrinking middle class would be bad news for Iowa, a state with many small businesses and communities. This year, the Legislature took a comprehensive approach to strengthening and growing Iowa’s middle class by: • Investing in education. We fought for and won two years of significant increases to help K-12 students get the best start possible. To boost student achievement, we are keeping class sizes small for young learners, raising standards,

improving teaching and encouraging innovation. We also froze instate university tuition for the first time in 30 years, so all Iowans can pursue the opportunities that lead to good careers. • Cutting taxes. We cut property taxes for every homeowner and business, especially for our local small businesses. Working families who pay the largest percentage of their income in taxes will get a boost from an increase in the state Earned Income Tax Credit. • Creating good local jobs and training Iowans to fill them. The landmark, bipartisan investments made this year by the Legislature are helping Iowans improve their skills and their family’s prospects while at the same time expanding Iowa businesses and easing shortages of skilled workers • Expanding access to affordable health care and mental health ser-

vices for all Iowans, whether they live in the city or rural communities. With new health care security, medical bills will be much less likely to force middle-class Iowans into foreclosure and bankruptcy. If middle-class Iowans cannot make ends meet, all Iowans will be in trouble. This year’s investments can make a real difference, but there is more we can do to grow Iowa’s middle class. Finding those solutions will be at the top of our agenda for the next legislative session, which starts January 13th. Senator Ragan is an Assistant Senate Majority Leader, chair of the Human Resources Committee and vice-chair of the Health & Human Services Budget Subcommittee. She also serves on the Appropriations, Natural Resources & Environment, Rules & Administration and Veterans Affairs committees.

The winter crud Despite my fervent finger-crossing and hopeful wishing, it seems Old Man Winter has arrived and settled in for the long haul throughout the state. Last week’s cold snap and Sunday’s snowfall provided the proverbial nail in the coffin for Franklin County other portions of Iowa. There’s not much for me to like about winter anymore. It seems the older I get, the more I despise it. Snow, howling wind and treacherous roads used to mean late starts, early outs, and no school. Now, however, it’s quite a different story. This changing of the seasons has become a pain in my backside, and I’d rather it go back where it came from than stay and bother me. Long gone are the days of snowfilled childhood fun. Winter provided my friends and I with count-

Less than two weeks before Christmas. I guess that means I best get busy and get ready for the annual Christmas Greetings edition. Why does it seem as though it’s only been a month or two since the last Christmas issue. They tell me time goes by even faster as one gets older. I must be ancient! Been busy . . . that fact remains the same almost each week . . . thank goodness. Looking ahead at the calendar . . . almost every night is filled with some place to be . . . Christmas programs, basketball games, pictures to take, etc. And Thursday I’m taking a day off to head to Altoona to try to finish shopping with Angela. Thank goodness she’s willing to help! A side benefit is that I also get to see Little Lid for a while in late afternoon! And so another week is history! Home . . . yes, it snowed in my backyard, too! I had high hopes of this being another winter like the one a few years ago: very little of the white stuff! So much for that! Friday evening and part of Saturday I spent putting a clean on the interior of the adobe. Someone told me my place shouldn’t even get dirty . . . with only me there. That someone should check out the place after a couple of weeks. It’s not really “dirty,� just dusty. And I seem to have this obsession with dust. If I can wipe my finger across something and I can see the mark . . . then the whole house must be that way. I know . . . I’m not well! But that’s the way it is. I think I picked that up from Lid. I’m still in the process of learning how to correctly wash clothes. No one ever told me about the settings for warm or cold, delicate or regular, etc. I thought those settings were there just for looks! A

couple of shrunken sweaters and a couple of items that changed colors in the washer prompted me to start asking questions. I “think� I now have it under control. As for learning how to cook . . . that still hasn’t happened. I am giving it some thought. But not much! Spent some time in the garage . . . getting the convertible ready to have the back seat and interior put back in. That will require a call to friend to get the job done. That will also require starting up the furnace to get the place warm enough to work in. I can already hear the meter spinning off the wall! But I do need to get the car back in shape and covered up . . . heaven forbid it should get some dust on it! And so ends another exciting week in my life. Be good, Kids+! It’s Showtime!

less hours seasonal activities – we’d build tunnels in the snow piles, forts in the yard, and have snowball fights on the playground at recess. Those got quickly broken-up by some fun-hating supervisor, but they were a great time nonetheless. Snow also provided us with the perfect playing field for one of our favorite activities of all time – snow football. The added layer of cushiony white stuff lessened the blow of a hard tackle, and that was extremely helpful for a pipsqueak like myself back then. I could take a hit and not feel anything – partly because of the snow, and partly because I was freezing cold. As I got older, our snow-themed activities gradually began to evolve. Now, everything revolved around a motor. We’d tie anything that would slide to the back of a snowmobile, car or truck. It’s a miracle none of us broke our neck in those teenage years. We’d hit the streets, fields and anywhere in between with our crazy antics, and the fact that none of us got smoked by oncoming traffic is a testament to either stupid luck or divine intervention. Gradually, however, we moved past all that daredevil stuff. It got old and we just simply hung it up sometime during our junior year of high school. We kind of fell into a lull after that, and we became perfectly content with staying inside where it was warm and there was cable television. Wintertime activities again shifted briefly during my first year of college. The first December storm brought with it a thick and sticky batch of snow that blanketed Iowa City with nearly a foot of white

stuff. Classes were surprisingly cancelled due to the bad weather, and funny thing happened throughout the campus that day – everyone was eight years old again. There was a university-wide snowball fight at the Old Capitol; people went sledding with lunch trays stolen from the dining halls; and freshmen made snow forts outside of the dorms. It was fun and heart-warming, and forgetting about the books for a day was a much needed break from the standard. Getting cold feet and enjoying it was a nice change of pace. The snow-filled merriment was fleeting, however. The weather soon became an annoyance walking to and from class, and I can’t think of a snowstorm that’s been “funâ€? since that first big one my freshman year of college. Now, snow is just work. I can already tell shoveling my walk is going to get old fast. I bought a shovel three weeks ago after we received a light dusting, but I didn’t use it until Monday morning. I’m really not looking forward to traveling through this crud for four months, either. I just hope the weather stays good for Christmas – you have to pick the your battles, I guess. My griping and groaning won’t change anything. We live in Iowa after all, and tough winters are included at no added charge. I’ll just have to grin and bear it like the rest of the state, as much as I hate that. There’s always a silver lining in everything: April is just over 100 days away, so spring is just around the‌ah, forget it.

Iowa Fishing Report For lake locations, maps and other information, go to www. iowadnr.gov/Fishing/FishingReports.aspx 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 Lake Smith Smith Lake had about four inches of ice right off the end of the boat ramp last. Last two days have made ice questionable at best. Limited fishing activity this week. Conditions are sure to improve after the cold front arrives. Lake Catherine There were a few anglers out last week but no reports on success. Ice thickness is probably around 3-4 inches. Clear Lake A few anglers have ventured out late last week near Farmer’s Beach on the south shore. They were picking up some yellow bass with a few crappies. Others have tried just off the McIntosh and Ventura boat ramps with limited success. Lake Cornelia There was five inches of ice on Nov. 28; down to three inches Dec. 4 due to rain and warmer temps. Anglers were doing well on yellow bass 7-8 inches in size. Little Wall Lake Ice is unsafe at Little Wall Lake. Crystal Lake One report of an angler catching bluegills in eight feet on the edge of the dredge cut this past weekend. Blue Pit Blue Pit was stocked with 1,500 catchable size rainbow trout on Nov. 27th. They were not hit very hard by anglers before it froze up so there are good numbers yet. Ice is unsafe right now but may be good on the weekend. Four inches minimum is recommended for foot travel. Bluebill Lake Around three inches of ice. Reports on ice thickness of area lakes have been from 2-4 inches at the beginning of this week. It has melted some the last day or two, but the weather forecast shows colder temps this weekend, so that should add some more. Four inches of ice is recommended for anglers traveling by foot with minimal gear. For lake updates and fishing information in the north central area contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at 641-3573517. Big Spirit Lake Iowa Great Lakes - Ice conditions have been questionable thru Dec. 5, however; colder than normal temperatures expected the next few days should improve ice conditions. Scharnberg Pond 1,500 rainbow trout were stocked Nov. 9th.

NORTHEAST Volga Lake Volga Lake has about four inches of ice. Recent rain may cause the ice to be extremely slippery. Use caution when going on the ice. A reminder that opening shotgun deer season is this weekend and Volga Lake is a popular wildlife management area where hunting takes place. Bluegill No Report: Crappie - Slow: Anglers have been catching crappies near the floating pier. Lake Hendricks Ice is about four inches thick but spotty especially with recent measurable rainfall on top. Use caution when going out on ice especially around the aerator. No motorized vehicles including ATVs are allowed on the ice. Bluegill - No Report: Crappie Slow: Lake Meyer The lake has about 3 to 4 inches of ice. Use caution when going out on newly formed ice. Check ice depths often. Bluegill - Fair: Small jigs tipped with wax worms are tempting fish this week. Crappie - Fair: Fish are scattered but fish up to 11 inches are being caught on small jigs tipped with minnows. Upper Iowa River (above Decorah) Fish are in their overwintering holes. Smallmouth Bass - No Report: Walleye - Slow: Anglers are having luck using jigs tipped with a twistertail. Try fishing off the bottom. Fish are biting really light. Upper Iowa River (below Decorah) Fish are in their overwintering holes. Smallmouth Bass - No Report: Walleye - Slow: Anglers are having success using a variety of jigs tipped with a twistertail. Use a slow presentation. Turkey River (above Clermont) Please use caution when walking out on ice especially where there is flow. Check ice depths often. Fish will likely be found in deeper holes. Use a slow presentation. Turkey River (below Clermont) We have received no information regarding fishing on this water body this week. Cedar River (above Nashua) Ice depths vary especially with the warmer weather this past weekend. Few have been out trying the ice. Continue to use caution when walking out on river ice as depths may vary especially in areas where there is flow or springs. Northern Pike - No Report: Smallmouth Bass - No Report: Walleye - Slow: Anglers are using 1/8 ounce jigs tipped with minnows. Anglers are finding fish near the bottom of the deeper holes. Decorah District Streams Modest #18 blue wing olive hatches have still been occurring on warmer afternoons providing dry fly opportunities.

Martens Lake Anglers had been on the ice last week but conditions have deteriorated. Beginning today and over the next 10 days ice conditions should vastly improve. Anglers were catching primarily bluegill with a few crappies. Concentrate efforts in the northwest corner of the lake for best success. Bluegill - Fair: Try ice fishing jigs tipped with a wax worm. Sight fishing out of a shack is a great opportunity here. Cedar River (Nashua to La Porte City) Fall fishing for walleye on the Cedar River was excellent, be sure to take advantage of open water opportunities when possible. Walleye - Good: Concentrate on the deeper holes where walleye will often over-winter. Wapsi River (Tripoli to Troy Mills) Take advantage of open river walleye fishing this time of year.

This stream offers some excellent brown trout angling opportunities. There is a catch and release/ artificial lure only regulation on this trout stream. Brown Trout - Good: Match the hatch or try casting smaller spinners. Maquoketa River (above Monticello) Take advantage of open river walleye fishing this time of year. Concentrate on the deeper holes where walleye will often overwinter. Walleye - Good: Concentrate on the deeper holes where

walleye will often over-winter. Shell Rock River (Greene to Shell Rock) Fall fishing for walleye on the Shell Rock River was excellent, be sure to take advantage of open water opportunities when possible.

Trout streams are in excellent shape. For further information call the district office in Manchester at 563-927-3276.

Winter Break—No Classes

SUPERVISORS from page 1 “I don’t want to be a bully and take all the money,” said Manning. “$7,500 would really help us out, but $15,000 would be great so everyone can get a computer.” Following the request from the libraries, the supervisors shifted their sights to the Franklin County Fair. A handful of fair board members were on hand to give a 2013 fair report and also detailed recent improvements and other funding needs. Fair board President Jon Baltes reported that attendance and P.O.P. Pass sales were down this year, and felt community-wide grumblings over ticket prices were unwarranted. “We’re just trying to keep everything up,” Baltes explained. “When people buy a P.O.P. Pass they’re paying for other things at our fair.” The board members said ticket revenue covers anything from costs for free entertainment to facility improvements. Supervisor Mike Nolte understood the need to raise prices on occasion, and hoped Franklin County residents would start un-

derstanding soon. “What doesn’t go up every year? You book the same guy one year and book him again the next year, I guarantee he’s going to cost more,” said Nolte. “People don’t understand the concept behind it when they buy a P.O.P. Pass, but I’m proud of what you guys do and I’m proud of our fair. The supervisors said they’d do the best they could, but reiterated their predictions on future budget constraints. “You see all the problems coming out of Washington. Well, they push them off to Des Moines, and they push it on down to us,” said Supervisor Jerry Plagge. FIRE from page 1 slippery, but it was more of an inconvenience than anything else. “It was 9 degrees when we got there, I think. It got pretty slick out there, but I didn’t hear of any injuries. Just a lot of cold toes.” Firefighters got the flames completely under control around noon, Keehn said. A backhoe from Lam-

bertsen Excavating was called in to peal away some of the metal siding on the shop, which allowed crews to douse the fire’s hotspots more thoroughly. Local departments were gradually dismissed as firefighters gained more control over the blaze. Keehn said Latimer and Sheffield finally left the Rother farm around 2:30 p.m. “We were talking, and it’s been a while since we had one this big,” said Sheffield Assistant Fire Chief Calvin Primus. “We couldn’t get water there fast enough. It was was kind of in the middle of everyone. There was no easy access to it.” Neither fire department officials nor the Rothers knew what started the blaze. Mark Rother thought it might be electric-related, but said that was purely speculative. The amount of destruction caused by the fire will make determining a cause extremely difficult. “I really don’t know. It could have been a malfunctioning furnace, I have heated floors, maybe bad wiring. I’m just guessing because I don’t

Carson Rother with “Jesse” and “Woody” know for sure,” he said. An insurance agent was scheduled to make a damage assessment on Monday, but Rother estimated the figure would end up well over $500,000. He said each building housed valuable equipment for the family’s trucking and construction businesses, which will have to be replaced in addition to the shops. Rother said they’ve already started discussion about rebuilding. “That’s what we’re going to do. As soon as we make sure the cement’s OK, we’ll get everything pushed off and start building it back up again,” he said. Saturday’s fire was unfortunate for the Rothers, but Mark knew the family’s losses could have been worse. The buildings are all located very close to one another and he was thankful firefighters kept the blaze from spreading further. “I commend them immensely, because it was so cold out and they did a great job of maintaining it to just the two,” he said. “It was kind of a bum deal.”

West Fork dominates in debut

GARNER – West Fork shook off a slow start to pound Garner-Hayfield/Ventura on the Cardinals’ home court on Friday night, 78-48. The Warhawks picked up where they left off from a season ago with four players scoring in double digits, led by Sam Amsbaugh’s 19 points. Despite early charge calls against West Fork, coach Frank Schnoes’ squad outscored the Cardinals 2312 in the second quarter to take a 32-19 halftime advantage. They came out firing in the second half and never looked back as Hunter Myers scored 15, Spencer Halloran chipped in with 12 and Austin Neff added 10 in the Warhawks’ road opener. Halloran added four rebounds and three steals in spite of foul trouble. He finished with four fouls. Despite being out-rebounded 3517, West Fork had the game well in hand and used a solid defense against G-H/V, allowing the Cardinals to shoot just 31 percent from the field. And West Fork didn’t need much rebounding as it shot 32-of-45 from the field for 71 percent. The Cardinals’ top returning scorer from a year ago, Joel Toppin, finished with only three points, all from the free throw line. Braden Meints had a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Cardinals, the top performance against West Fork. The Warhawks played host to West Hancock for another non-conference game in their home opener on Monday, Dec. 9 and traveled to Nashua for a Corn Bowl Conference road debut before opening conference home play against

The Sheffield Press DECEMBER 12, 2013 Sheffield, Iowa

The Warhawks (2-0) trailed 43-34 at the start of the fourth quarter, but poured it on, outscoring the Chickasawks 17-6 in the final eight minutes.

In fact, according to coach Rodney Huber, his squad had to rally from 10 down with four minutes to go. Sydney Shreckengost, who, along with Courtney Larson scored 12 to lead West Fork, hit the game-winning lay-up as time expired. They led a trio in double digits. Larson also led the way with five steals, three assists and a block. Lindsey Peterson added a double-double, scoring 11 and pulling down 11 rebounds. The Warhawks got two big threepointers from freshman Kaitlyn Liekweg and pulled out the victory despite the team going 8-for-25 from the free throw line. New Hampton got into some serious foul trouble as three of its four players who finished with four fouls were starters, including the overall leading scorer, Nicole Mulford, who finished with 25.

NORTHWOOD – Opening with a dual victory against Rockford, coach Jared Arbegast took the West Fork wrestling team to a point it hasn’t reached in a few years. The Warhawks earned six wins by fall in a 39-18 win over the Wildcats before taking a split in a close 48-36 dual loss to the home team, Northwood-Kensett. Three wrestlers earned wins by fall twice in the triangular, including 126-pounder Jacob Hansen, Matt Ries at 170 and James Vestweber, wrestling at 182. Both Ries and Vestweber recorded first period pins. “I am really proud of how my wrestlers competed last night,� coach Arbegast said. “They were really excited to be on the mat for the first time this year, and showed their hard work in the practice room. “It is a great start and gives us something to build from. Getting a dual win in our first meet of the year was a great confidence booster for the team and will help motivate them in the practice room. We still have a lot to learn and this achievement will help to create a positive attitude and work ethic as we go forward.� Also earning wins against Rockford were Tanner Shreckengost (285), Colton Rowe (132), Jarel Arbegast (145) and Austin Steil (152). Against the Vikings, West Fork gave up six forfeits, which was key in the loss. Devlynn Sasse and Morgan Steenhard had wins by forfeit against
