DRIVING HISTORY Rockwell, Sheffield and Hampton part of highway history

BY ZACH CLEMENS This past summer marked the 100-year anniversary of the event that added Rockwell, Sheffield and Hampton to the first ever route across country from north to south. The new highway would span from Winnipeg, Canada all the way down to New Orleans, La. In the summer of 1916, after months of lobbying and planning, Edwin T. Meredith, a well-known Des Moines publisher, presided over a newly formed organization called the Jefferson Highway Association (JHA).

The group was tasked with mapping out the “Pine to Palms Highway,” named the Jefferson Highway, and was a 2,300 mile trek that was to be from pines to palms.

It would start in Winnipeg and head south through Minnesota and go straight across Iowa, with stops in Rockwell, Sheffield, Chapin and Hampton.

The history of the Jefferson Highway is finally getting the recognition of its counter parts, the Lincoln Highway, which would take you from coast to coast and crisscrossed in Colo, Iowa.

It was in Colo that Lyell Henry, emeritus professor of political science at Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, first got interested in the Jefferson Highway.

“The more I learned about the [Jefferson] Highway, the more interested I became,” Henry said.

He decided to write a book about it, and has recently published “The Jefferson Highway” through the University of Iowa Press.

Much of the book focuses on the highway that ran through Iowa, which goes back even farther than the Jefferson Highway.

The sign that Howard Muhlenbach found on his property. SUBMITTED PHOTO Over 60 years ago, on a newly bought farm just two miles northwest of Hampton, Howard Muhlenbach was busy clearing debris in a grove on his property when his rake scratched something metal in the dirt. It was a decades-old metal sign marking the Interstate Trail. Not knowing the significance, Muhlenbach hung it on a tree in his front yard for years before learning the truth. “[The sign] is ultra rare. I’ve never seen one elsewhere, I don’t think there is another one around,” Henry said.

The sign dates back before 1916, and marked a road that would become part of the Jefferson Highway. It now resides in the Franklin County Historical Museum.

That’s not the only thing connecting these towns to America’s past. Henry outlines in his book the exact route that one would take to go down the Jefferson Highway.

He notes the “Rock of Ages Park” in Rockwell along Pheasant Avenue that residents have come to recognize.

In Sheffield, Henry highlights the former city hall and memorial hall at 313 W. Gilman, built in 1921 and part of a way to attract tourists along the highway as well as other period buildings along Gilman writing, “[These buildings] present today a view on

Gilman Street that considerably matches the one that motorists on the Jefferson Highway would have seen in the 1920s.”

He argues that Chapin suffered greatly from the highway moving east to what is now U.S. 65, not getting a paved road to Chapin until the 1930s.

In Hampton the highway went directly past the courthouse and library.

Border to border route was formed before it was paved, but the JHA wanted each segment to be well maintained. “[The JHA] wanted it to be a 365-day route,” Henry said. “A route you could travel on at any time of the year.”

Although the original route is no longer around today, the spirit of the project is.

“In a sense [I-35] was the culmination of their effort,” Henry said. “I don’t get too worked up about whether the original road is there or not, [the JHA] got what they were aiming for, [Meredith] was vindicated.”

According to Henry, in July the Iowa Department of Transportation approved the Jefferson Highway as a “Heritage Byway” in Iowa. There will soon be new signage up along the original route for motorists to follow the signs and find some history.

West Fork Board of Education receives gift from Sukup

BY ZACH CLEMENS The West Fork Board of Education were swore into their offices and accepted a gift from Sukup Manufacturing at their monthly Board meeting on Monday.

With the new school year starting recently, the Board of Education had to take their oath of office and decide on officers. The Board decided to keep the same officers, with Jim Tuttle staying on as President of the Board and Mary Beth Sukup Vice President.

Charles Sukup, from Sukup Manufacturing presented the Board with a check for over $240,000 after pledging that amount to finish the West Fork Wellness Center that is nearing completion.

Sukup said he is proud to support West Fork and what the school district has to offer.

The Board also discussed the spe-

cial education program this year. It is running at a deficit of approximately $166,000, which is down about $100,000 from last year said West Fork Superintendent Darrin Strike.

If a student in the special education program needs additional assistance that West Fork can’t provide, then the district pays the cost for that student to go to a school that provides that service. This is also the case for any open enrollment students.

“Funds are lagging with special education,” Strike added.

The district pays the bills for special education during the summer, and there is no telling how much they will be.

“It’s virtually impossible to budget or make adjustments with [these bills],” Strike said.

The Board voted to approve allowable growth for the deficit through the school year. It returns to zero at the start of each new school

year.

The Board discussed and approved the new home school assistance program at West Fork. Every school is different and varied and West Fork has its own plan in place after the Board partnered with Lisa Lehmann, a teacher who runs the Hampton-Dumont home school assistance program.

“We went through all these things and I told Lisa that we need to know [if a home school student will participate] by September 26,” Strike said.

This is because the district has to get the student in their system for enrollment on October 3.

Superintendent Strike will also be ordering new playground equipment with the $12,000 grant they received.

New swings and a play structure will be on Rockwell’s campus, as well as new soccer nets. A new swing and teeter totter will also be installed on Sheffield’s campus.

Landon Toleffson, a Sheffield boy who was recently diagnosed with leukemia, had a benefit at the West Fork High School to raise money for expenses his family has incurred as a result of his diagnosis.

Landon’s grandma, Tammy Sorrensen said the benefit was a huge success.

“It went very well,” Sorrensen said.

“It was a really good turnout.”

They had 148 items up for bid at the silent auction and 10 at the live, with everything selling, and some winners

gave the prize back to Landon.

“A gentleman from Mason City carved wooden dinosaurs,” Sorrensen said. “Someone bought them for $320 and gave them back to Landon.”

A quilt made of old West Fork t-shirts, the Pete Rose signed photograph and a brand new dishwasher was bought then immediately returned to the Tollefson’s.

Sorrensen said that between the benefit and private donors, just under $18,000 was raised.

Landon was able to attend and had a great time, Sorrensen said.

Memorial stone found in Sheffield a mystery

NEW Co-Op acquires land for feed mill September is National â–Ş 10 acres requested to be added to the Co-Op Urban Renewal Area

BY ETHAN STOETZER A 10-acre parcel of land was acquired by NEW Cooperative, Inc. last week, adding to the Co-Op’s 30 acre operation along West Highway 3.

A $23.5 million feed mill operation is slated to be built on the parcel, and is expected to produce 400,000 tons of feed, annually, creating an anticipated 14 jobs.

Following suit of their 2015 project, NEW Co-Op is requesting that

the acreage be added to the 2015 CoOp Urban Renewal Area. Currently, the 30 acre facility is part of a redevelopment zone, and is scheduled to receive tax rebates on the improvements made to the property for 5 years or $600,000, whichever comes first.

Decisions on the rebate rates are decided upon by the Franklin County Supervisors, and can only be calculated after the property is amended to the zone. A public hearing for the amendment has been set for Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. at the Franklin County Board of Supervisors Meeting.

The rebates would only be available on improvements to the property. The parcel of land has been surveyed and is due a base tax payment to the county every year. With the development or “increments� made to the property, the property taxes on the land rise. Should a rebate program be allotted for the acreage, the base taxes would be due in

their entirety for school payments, while the property taxes on the property improvements would be paid to the county and rebated for a specific number of years, or capping at a maximum amount.

Franklin County Development Association Director Karen Mitchell said that the expansion of NEW Co-Op in Franklin County is positive news for local manufacturing, increasing tax base, bringing in more traffic and providing benefits to utility providers. “The project is something we don’t have (in Franklin County),�

Mitchell said. “It does provide a service that makes the industry competitive, and easier for those in our farming community. “We appreciate the company for its commitment to Franklin County.�

NEW Co-Op was reached for comment but was unable to provide on prior to press-time.

Groundbreaking Ceremony at NIACC for New House Build North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) conducted a Groundbreaking Ceremony for a new house build on Monday, September 19. The completed 1500 sq. ft. home will be built on the NIACC campus and then made available for sale to the public and moved to its permanent location by the new owner. Sale details have not yet been finalized, but will be available on the NIACC website in the coming weeks. “Our Building Trades students are excited to begin building this new house,� said Gregg Helmich, NIACC Building Trades Instructor. “It is an excellent opportunity for our students to be a part of a home build from the ground up. Beyond the obvious construction skills they will develop and refine, they will also

learn important decision making and problem solving skills that are critical on a job site.�

This first-of-its-kind construction project is possible because of a generous $100,000 gift to the Keeping NIACC First Capital Campaign from Dean Snyder Construction (DSC). Chelsy Snyder, Business Development for DSC, said “Over the past few years as we’ve continued to grow as a company, we’ve realized that the lack of a skilled workforce is something we needed to get proactive with. We started by looking at our own workforce and determined that the majority of our top superintendents and skilled construction workers are ones that we’ve trained from the bottom up, right out of high school or a trades program. That is

when we decided to invest our time and money into community outreach specifically with high school and community college level trades students.�

Snyder said, “The NIACC Building Trades program is a great start for those students that are interested in a career in the skilled trades, architecture, or engineering, and this house build program will provide lifelong tools for these individuals to utilize.� “If we can have an impact on just one student,� Snyder said, “whether it be showing them a “career� in the trades, as opposed to just a “job�, or giving them a second chance to reach their full potential, then it’s all worth it. It could be life changing or life saving for some kids and we hope it does just that.�

Drivers waste $2.1 Billion on premium gasoline AAA testing shows no benefit to splurging on premium fuel when not required by the manufacturer American drivers wasted more than $2.1 billion dollars in the last year by using premium-grade gasoline in vehicles designed to run on regular fuel, according to new AAA research.

Currently fewer than 20 percent of vehicles on the road require high octane fuel, while the vast majority (70%) are designed to operate on regular gasoline. A national survey of motorists revealed that 16.5 million U.S. drivers used premium gasoline in a vehicle designed to run on regular fuel at least once in the past year. “Many drivers think they are giving their car a treat by occasionally filling up with premium-grade

gasoline, even though their vehicle calls for regular unleaded,� said Gail Weinholzer, spokesperson, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The consensus has been that higher octane does not mean higher quality, but AAA did a formal study to test that theory.�

For vehicles designed to run on regular-grade fuel, using premium gasoline did not produce more horsepower, result in better fuel economy or produce fewer tailpipe emissions.

Premium gasoline is specifically formulated to be compatible with specific types of engine designs and most vehicles cannot take advantage of the higher octane rating. “AAA cautions drivers that premium gasoline is higher octane, not higher quality, and urges drivers to follow the owner’s manual recommendations for their vehicle’s fuel,�

Weinholzer said.

Preparedness Month ENTERPRISE

(Mason City) — Disasters don’t wait to strike when you’re at home.

They may hit when your family is separated at work or school. September is National Preparedness month!

During the month of September, we’re all getting used to the new school year routines. It’s the perfect time for every family to develop and discuss a communications plan to figure out how you will reconnect after an emergency.

Let children know who could pick them up in an emergency. Make sure family members with phones are signed up to receive alerts and warnings from their school, workplace or local officials. For children without cell phones, make sure they know to follow instructions from a responsible adult such as a teacher or principal.

Store at least one emergency contact under the name “In Case of Emergency� or “ICE� for all cell phones and devices. This will help someone identify your emergency contact if needed. Inform your emergency con-

tact of any medical issues or other requirements you may have.

Text is Best! If you are using a mobile phone, a text message may get through when a phone call will not. This is because a text message requires less bandwidth than a phone call. Text messages can also be saved and then sent automatically as soon as lines become available. Discuss with family members what information you should sent by text. You will want to let others know you are safe and where you are. Short messages like “I’m OK, at library� are appropriate.

In addition to a communication plan, we also encourage residents to keep enough emergency supplies water, nonperishable food, first aid, prescriptions, flashlight, and batterypowered radio on hand - for you and those in your care. Be sure to have enough supplies on hand to go a minimum of three days without electricity, water service, access to a supermarket, or other local services.

Safety Basics Keep Kids Seated Safe and Secure National Child Passenger Safety Week Sept. 18-24 As part of National Child Passenger Safety Week, AAA – The Auto Club Group and its Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation join organizations nationwide to encourage parents and caregivers to make sure their children are riding safe and secure. “This week serves as a good reminder for parents and caregivers to keep safety basics in mind when it comes to traveling with children in a vehicle,� said Amy Stracke, executive director, Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation. “This means ensuring that all children – from babies to teens – are safely buckled up every time they ride in a vehicle.�

AAA and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend all infants and toddlers ride in a rear-facing car seat until they are two years of age or until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by their car seat’s manufacturer. “Parents and caregivers are often anxious to turn their young children forward-facing in their car seats too soon,� said Michele Harris, traffic safety consultant, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “However, due to their underdeveloped bodies, children be-

low the age of two who ride forwardfacing are at a greater risk of head, neck and spinal cord injuries if involved in a collision.�

Older children may also be at risk of injury if riding in the front seat before they are ready. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that nearly 60% of vehicle crashes are frontal impacts and 20% are side impacts.

Children under the age of 13 should ride in the back seat because they are typically not large enough to safely ride in the front seat and can be seriously injured by front passenger air bags in the event of a crash. This is especially significant since a recent AAA Consumer PulseTM survey of parents revealed that 81% of parents in Iowa first allowed their child to sit in the front seat of a moving vehicle at age 12 or younger.

Red Cross urges blood and platelet donations during National Preparedness Month The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood and platelets this fall to help restock the shelves following a significant summer shortage to ensure an adequate blood supply for patients in need.

Through the first two weeks of September, the Red Cross is down more than 10,000 donations from what is needed to replenish the blood supply and be prepared for emergencies large and small. Declines in donations can lead to blood shortages and make it difficult to meet patient needs should a disaster or emergency occur. “September is National Preparedness Month and we urge eligible donors to make an appointment now to give blood or platelets,� said Nick Gehrig, communications director, Red Cross Blood Services. “Whether

blood is needed for a chronic condition like sickle cell disease, a routine surgery, a traumatic accident or a large-scale disaster, it’s the blood already on the shelves that helps save lives. Red Cross blood and platelet donors play an important role in helping communities be prepared for all kinds of emergencies.�

Donors of all blood types are needed as blood products continue to be distributed to hospitals almost as quickly as donations come in. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). Donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at redcrossblood.org/ rapidpass to help reduce wait times.

After these messages The world runs on advertising.

Not just newspapers, though I greatly appreciate our advertisers and the money that allows us to sell these papers at such reasonable subscription rates (renew today!). Pretty much anything that lots of people will look at inevitably ends up the target of advertisers. Billboards, bus stations, I hear there are even commercials on television.

And when Wells Fargo isn’t busy committing fraud and identity theft on their customers, they’re dumping millions of dollars to have sports stadiums named after them.

How much of our world runs on advertising? Consider this. Adblock Plus is selling ads to be shown through their software that, as its name implies, is supposed to block ads.

Recently the company launched an extension of its “Acceptable Ads Platform,” which allows websites to purchase advertisements from a pre-selected whitelist. Users with the Adblock Plus extension (who opt to have the whitelist turned on) will see those pre-selected ads upon visiting that particular site.

The “Acceptable Ads Platform” has been around for a while, but Adblock Plus’s new service creates a new marketplace that streamlines the whitelisting process.

Everything about this situation is weird, starting with the Adblock Plus business model.

Step 1. Give away free software to millions of internet users that don’t want to deal with ads.

Step 2. Sell ads to those users.

In a way it makes a kind of sense.

Adblock Plus users aren’t their customers, they are the product. By es-

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer tablishing a user base, they’ve effectively secured the exclusive ability to advertise to a massive number of people. Advertisers have no option but to go through them.

If that seems morally shady, that’s because it is.

Let’s make no bones about it. This is a hair’s width away from straight up extortion. “Oh hey, nice website you’ve got here. Sure would be a shame if we gave tools to millions of people to visit your site without seeing your ads. But hey, if you pay us a little bit, we’ll let people see your ads.”

It’s like a war profiteer selling body armor to one side of a conflict and armor piercing bullets to the other.

That said, Adblock Plus becoming a self-proclaimed gatekeeper for advertising might still be the best outcome for everybody.

Adblocking software didn’t just happen. It was a reaction to increasingly intrusive advertising practices.

Gaudy ads that distracted from the content, elaborate animated that hogged memory and processing resources, full-screen overlays with miniscule close buttons forcing their way between you and the webpage you’re trying to look at. To say nothing of intrusive and unwelcome video, pop-ups, and ads that tracked your web browsing habits.

Advertising companies proved incapable of restraining themselves in their ever escalating efforts for our attention. For millions of people, myself included, the willingness to support websites with our clicks became outweighed by an unwillingness to deal with the toxic environment that out of control ads created.

This has created an all-or-nothing situation when it comes to advertising. Sure, there are plenty of people out there simply unwilling to accept ads under any circumstance. Those people are selfishly entitled and should feel shame if they are capable of it.

Plenty of others don’t have a problem with the idea of advertising, it’s the execution that’s turned them off.

Whitelisting is a feature in most adblocking software, but that requires to manually opt in to every site. It’s something most people don’t have inclination to do.

I feel a twang of guilt when I realize that I’ve forgotten to turn off adblocking on sites that have earned the fraction of a penny that my views are intended to provide, but the bad doesn’t outweigh the good. If advertisers could be trusted to not go overboard, we wouldn’t have this issue.

If websites could figure out a way to monetize without ads, we wouldn’t have this issue.

Neither is likely to happen. Adblock Plus setting themselves up as a middle man is not ideal, but it may be a necessary compromise between terrible ads and no ads at all.

Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and guarantees your newspaper isn’t tracking you.

Big plays and big injuries This week in the NFL was an unpredictable one, with some close games, upsets, significant injuries to star players and a coach fired— already.

The first game of the week saw the Jets beat division rival Buffalo 37-31. Shortly after, Bills’ coach Rex Ryan fired his offensive coordinator after starting the season 0-2.

I find that interesting as they did score 31 points on Thursday night, and gave up 37. Yet, I didn’t see a scenario where Rex fires brother Rob two weeks into the season. The Bills coach is officially the first one on the hot seat.

The Vikings christened U.S. Bank Stadium with a win against rival Green Bay, but saw Adrian Peterson go down with an ankle injury.

He could miss significant time. Can Sam Bradford stay healthy and actually make an impact? The Vikes are 2-0.

In Cleveland, the home team jumped out to a 20-point lead over Baltimore, just to see it evaporate and lose 25-20. My sources tell me fans are already eyeing Lamar Jackson with the number one pick next year. The Browns are 0-2.

Patriots’ fans were enjoying another beat down of the Dolphins in Gillette Stadium, watching Jimmy Garoppolo throw for 278 yards and three scores before Kiko Alonso knocked him out of the game with a shoulder injury. Meet Jacoby Brissett, a 2016 third round pick by New England, who might have to start the

PIGSKIN PONDERING:

Zach Clemens next two weeks.

I wouldn’t put it past Belichick to get the kid ready and beat Houston and Buffalo, but I’m sure Pats fans can’t wait for week 5 when Tom Brady returns from his suspension to presumably light the league on fire, and they just might be 4-0.

So when are we going to declare that Von Miller is the best defensive player in the NFL? I certainly believe it, and I have a suspicious that all of Broncos Country and at least 32 quarterbacks believe it to be true.

The Broncos dominated the stat sheet most of the game, compiling a lot of yards but not producing a lot of points. With 1:57 remaining in the game, and the Broncos having settled for another field goal, it was time for Miller to close the game out.

He flew past the tackle and crushed Luck while stripping the ball like he has done so many times before.

Linebacker Shane Ray finished the play by scooping and scoring a touchdown to put the game out of reach. Von then ended the game with his third sack of the day.

Miller is athletic and quick enough to blow by any tackle with his speed, yet is powerful enough

Information released on Legislative Page Program Speaker, Linda Upmeyer, recently released information on the Iowa Legislative Page program. Each year the Iowa House of Representatives and the Iowa Senate employ Iowa high school juniors and seniors to serve as Pages for the legislative session, which begins on Monday, Jan. 9, 2017.

Duties of the House and Senate Pages vary slightly, but they generally provide valuable assistance to Representatives or Senators and staff. Tasks include running the chamber switchboard, delivering messages, distributing legislation, assisting committee chairpersons and sorting amendments. Pages are paid

and many schools offer class credit for a student’s work in the Legislature.

Upmeyer is encouraging local students to apply for the 2017 Page program.

“The legislative page program is a great way for high school students to see their state government in action. I hope area students will apply to serve as Legislative Pages next session,” said Upmeyer.

The application for the 2017 Legislative Page Program is due no later than Friday, Oct. 7, 2016. To see more information or fill out an application, visit: https://www.legis.iowa. gov/agencies/careers/page.

to bull rush any O-lineman into their own QB. He is serviceable in coverage too; he has made plays when asked to, and came up big, like picking off Brady in last year’s AFC Championship. This is why the Broncos made him the highest paid defensive played in the NFL, and he leads the best defense in the league.

My Broncos are 2-0.

The Wall I am constantly bombarded with email forwards about the dastardly deeds and potential dangers of Islamic extremism and other foreign interlopers.

A wall on the Mexican border has become the popular solution. This will supposedly protect American workers from the unfair competition of people who want to work hard.

And the Jihadis will not be able to get through and blow things up.

The claim that “illegals” are receiving benefits that should be reserved only for citizens opens up a topic that is largely ignored but the most important of all. It could be argued that non-citizens are less deserving of someone else's property. I contend that no one is deserving of anyone else's property.

A lot of this discussion is driven by a desire for prosperity and prosperity can only come from the fruits of our labor staying with us. Otherwise, incentive to produce is reduced or eliminated. Socialist governments fail because we can't fight human nature. The law exists because selfishness invariably impacts other people who deserve to keep what they've earned.

To claim that our country is in danger because foreigners can take “our benefits” validates those ben-

THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger efits, and those benefits are more destructive than the invaders themselves. Among the benefits at risk are all the socialistic programs that are dragging this country down.

Social Security has replaced a family structure where grandparents cared for the children of their working children. The children later cared for the grandparents. It worked fine.

Family has more innate incentive to care for each other than the faceless bureaucracy of government office workers. Gratitude plays a big part as well.

Government drinking ages and drug laws have taught us that we are not responsible for our actions.

When bad things happen because of drugs or alcohol we first say, “where did they get it” rather than, “how foolish or disrespectful.” This leads to further calls to replace self respect and respect for others with state mandates. State mandates don't in-

spire love and respect, they produce defiance, black markets, crime, and skyrocketing costs.

If our country's laws merely protected our property rather than trying (unsuccessfully) to manage, improve, insure, incentivize, equalize, and coddle our lives, then a much smaller government could make it impossible for terrorists or welfare cheats to survive here. And they would either return home or become contributing members of society.

A military that defends our borders instead of the rest of the world could make the border a filter, not a wall that excludes valuable contributors along with the ones we should keep out. It would also keep that military from creating more disasters around the world that come to haunt us later.

Build the wall for a Band-Aid if you've given up on our republic.

Or eliminate theft from our government's duties in order to solve domestic problems and keep us safe from invaders. A wall might keep out a few criminals. But our welfare state produces them right here at a much higher rate.

risp mornings, cozy sweaters and a craving for comfort foods are all sure signs that autumn is in the air. No fall menu is complete without hearty, homestyle dishes that evoke feelings of well-being and warmth, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to capture the flavors of fall than with the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature ingredient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apples.

Serving up fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best feel-good foods doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be hard. One clever solution: apple butter. Made from apples slow-simmered in kettles of sugar, apple cider and spices, apple butter is more than just a spread. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a versatile ingredient that can enhance your favorite sweet and savory recipes. Made with American-grown apples in the classic Pennsylvania Dutch style, Musselmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Butter lends a unique taste to main dishes and desserts alike.

While this one-pot dinner saves time on busy fall evenings, it also boasts a rich, tangy sauce that gets a special twist from the spice of apple butter. Fall is also the perfect time for creating beloved desserts, and whoopie pie is always a winning choice. This spiced up version of the traditional favorite draws its flavor from Musselmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Butter, with an old-fashioned taste that is the essence of comfort food.

Find more feel-good recipes for fall at musselmans. com.

VENTURA – A heavy thunderstorm started shortly after the varsity girls’ race began during Thursday’s cross country meet at Regular Baptist Camp in Ventura.

According to Hampton-Dumont coach Traci Moorehead, about two-thirds of that race was completed before it was called because of heavy rain and lightning.

Visibility was an issue before it was called and some runners were losing their way on the course in the middle of the downpour.

Some runners pulled out of the race before it was called.

Both middle school and the JV girls’ races were completed, but officials did not consider running any of the races together despite the evidence of the oncoming weather.

The JV and varsity boys’ races were also cancelled.

Hampton-Dumont and West Fork were both at the meet, hosted by Clear Lake. It is not known whether the race will be made up.

West Fork’s Talia Rowe, middle, keeps her head down as blinding rain falls during the varsity cross country race at Ventura Regular Baptist Camp at Ventura on Thursday, Sept. 15. The race was cancelled two-thirds of the way through because runners were losing their way because of visibility issues.
