City looking for flag sponsorships

Croell concrete builds in Sheffield CONCRETE PLANT NEARING COMPLETION

BY ZACH CLEMENS tarting this week, a new concrete plant will make Sheffield home. Croell Redi-Mix is located at 1459 255th Street in Sheffield, just west of Sukup, and has been building a plant since the beginning of September, according to Bill Croell, one of the owners of the company. “We are going to produce Redi-Mix concrete for the local market,” Croell said.

S

“We think [Sheffield] is a good community to invest in.” It will start producing concrete next week according to a site worker, but it won’t be in operation for very long, as it is a summer plant, only running from midMarch to mid-November. Summer plants are different, as there is no insulation or a way to keep hot water running through the winter. Year-round plants are usually reserved for large markets, Croell said.

Croell concrete has been a family-owned business since 1968, with over 130 locations in six states, according to their website. They provide their brand Redi-Mix concrete to various businesses and landowners, while striving to utilize raw materials for the best concrete available. By next spring, there will be more structure built and a full staff will be hired, many from the local area.

The City of Sheffield would like to brighten the downtown area and make main street a welcoming site to those driving through or visiting. Therefore, the City Council decided to start a flag sponsorship program to update the flags on Main Street. For only $50 per year, any business or individual can sponsor an Iowa or United States flag to be placed on the light poles on Gilman Street, starting with the downtown district. The cost will cover all materials and maintenance for a year. Anyone interested in sponsoring a flag should contact Sheffield City Hall at (641) 892-4718.

Lions distribute flood clean-up kits Members of the Sheffield Lions Club assisted in the distribution of flood clean-up kits for Franklin County last week. Participating were Dick Brown, Roger Madsen; Paul Ricke, and Bill Eno. The Lions ‘ALERT’ Program focuses on disaster response across the state of Iowa. Volunteer teams are in place at the county level.

BIRTHDAYS Kelley 90th Gertrude Kelley, of Rockwell, will turn 90 on Friday, Oct. 7. She will celebrate her birthday with an open house on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 2-4 p.m., at the Rockwell Community Center.

BY ZACH CLEMENS On the west edge of Sheffield during the fall, adults and kids alike can have a fun farm experience, learn about agriculture, pick some pumpkins and even feed some goats. Enchanted Acres, located at 1071 250th Street in Sheffield, is a place where

families can come to learn about agriculture, get locally sourced food and have some fun along the way. The farm is owned and operated by Shannon Latham, who started small in 2012 with just a tent and a small pumpkin patch. “My mom and I planted it by hand, and

sold them under a tent with no advertising,” Latham said. They had a grand opening in 2013, now with a barn built and other activities for visitors. See ENCHANTED ACRES: Page 8

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin General Hospital Board will hold a public hearing for its renovation project that hopes to both provide additional services to patients, while also streamlining patient experience. The project will convert the hospital’s old records storage office into a useable space, that will remodel the entire clinic portion of the facility. The proposed plans will do away with a counter for patients to check in. “When you used to go to the clinic, you would talk to the people with the entire waiting room behind you,” said CEO of FGH Kim Price. “That’s ok if you just have a cold, but not for anything else.” The renovation of the clinic will feature four private check-in rooms for patients to enter. Patients will then regroup with each other in the waiting room, until they are called back into exam rooms. The remaining portion of the records space will hold an office and consulting room for the facility’s health coach and its navigator, who are currently set up in a temporary office. See FGH: Page 4

Des Moines Roundtable discusses police records policy BY TRAVIS FISCHER Public access to police records has become a hot topic in recent weeks following a court decision that determined law enforcement could withhold investigative records.

tion made for a slow start in the game, but the Spartans rose to the occasion and played an impressive final three quarters. Steve Meints had an outstanding game passing with 166 yards on ten completions. Dave Heimer was the leading receiver with four catches for 122 yards, including the first score of the game, a 45 yard reception in the second quarter. Also in the second quarter, the Spartans picked up three points on a 36 yard Matt Brinkman field goal to make the half time score 10-0.The field goal was scored with no time on the clock as the Spartans were called for too many men on the field while time out on what proved to be a touchdown pass by Meints. Because a period cannot end on a penalty, one untimed down was awarded, which allowed for the field goal team to take the field. In the second half the Spartans upped their lead to 17-o when Brinkman picked up a Gilbert fumble on the ten yard line and ran it in for the score. Shortly after, a Meints interception deep in Spartan territory gave Gilbert good field position and the momentum to get a touchdown on a nine yard pass form 6’4� quarterback Cori Bangs to Mike Gibson. The Spartans put the game away in the fourth quarter with a seven yard run by John Kasper behind super double team blocks by Darren Meints and Dave Heimer to make the score 246. On the night Kasper ended with 65 yards on 14 carries. Mike Schilling had six carries for 21 yards and Jeff Rabey four for 22 yards. Gilbert’s Doug Snider turned in the best rushing performance of the night with 122 yards on just 15 carries. Because of the lack of success of the Spartan running game, Steve Meints’ throwing was put to the test and he responded with a big night. Defensively the Spartans had a good team night as six players had nine or more tackles. In addition to the TD fumble recovery, the Spartans also got interceptions from Steve Meints, Kelly Etnier and Brian Miller as well as another fumble recovered by John Kasper. Mr. and Mrs. Luverne Becker were Sunday afternoon visitors with the Roger Krull family at Eldora. Miss Lisa Atkinson spent the week end in the parental Jim Atkinson home.

was added for a 33-0 reading. Coach Jerry Loynachan gave his reserves a chance at game experience during the second quarter and the half ended with Spartans in control of ball. Bob Shreckengost scored his first touchdown of the game on a 20-yard run in the third quarter, and it counted. He had previously lost out on scoring runs due to penalties. The extra point try failed and the score was 39-0 for the visitors at the end of the third stanza. Klemme broke loose for a touchdown and safety by Cal Bruggeman in the fourth quarter, against a diluted Spartan varsity squad. The final reading was 39-8 with the Spartans on top for their first win of the season, according to Larry Freie, Spartan team reporter. Henry J.

OCTOBER 9, 1986 The S-C/M-T Spartans extended their record to 5-0 Friday with a 24-6 victory over Gilbert.

OCTOBER 13, 1966 Sheffield-Chapin football team won their first game of this season when they went to Klemme on Friday night. The score was 39 to 8 with the Spartan varsity completely dominating the play during the first three quarters of the contest. Coach Jerry Loynachan used reserves in the final quarter during which the host club scored a touchdown and safety. Klemme kicked to start the game and three plays later Steve Groesbeck crossed the goal line, but a penalty called the ball back to the 30-yard line. Bob Weber on the next play ran for the touchdown. The extra point failed due to a fumble. Score 6-0. Klemme received, then lost the ball on a fumble. A series of plays and Weber added another touchdown on an end sweep. Groesback ran the extra point for a 13-0 tally. Klemme received and the hard hitting Spartan defense stalled the ball and kept the offensive play off balance. Klemme punted; Spartans moved the ball downfield consistently with varied plays. Weber plunged for a touchdown and Groesbeck converted the extra point for a 20-0 tally. Klemme received but again lost the ball. Bob Shreckengost made a spectacular 60-yard run which was called back on a clipping penalty. A few plays later Weber made a 20-yard run through the middle of the line for a 26-0 scoreboard reading the extra point try failing. In the second quarter Groesbeck made and end sweep for a touchdown and the extra point try

Another week of being busy on the work front, and also a week of wishing that I wouldn’t have remarked last week that somehow when things go bad with the computer...I usually manage to get lucky. That didn’t happen this week! Friday morning I was doing one of my weekly jobs...Cobwebs... when the computer went south...way south! I spent nearly two hours trying to figure out the problem...and decided it was time to call for help! While I was at school taking a picture...Ryan, my boss, came in and took the computer to Hampton to see what could be done to fix it. And I’m thinking...whatever they do, please don’t lose all my homecoming work! Or the work I had done on the Cobwebs! A call Sunday afternoon...which I didn’t hear...Ryan said it computer was fixed and it would be back here first thing Monday morning. And it was. Works great...almost. I have no idea what the problem was...and I most likely wouldn’t understand if he explained it to me. I do know that just enough changes occurred that I had to spend some time trying to figure them out. This time luck prevailed, just after I made a call to Pam and she said she would be right up. I did call her back just before she left to help me out. As of the present...things are under control. Although I’m sure one person at Hampton will still say it was probably the operator that is the main problem. Could be! Home...again nothing earth shattering going on there. If there is...I missed it! Unless you call washing, ironing, and cleaning house exciting. Once again no trip south. Little Lid is into more things on Saturdays...so they keep busy. Sundays they are in church and Sunday school in the morning (where I should be!)...and that pretty much leaves just the afternoon. This week I have a wedding to attend on Saturday...and probably won’t make it down there Sunday. But guaranteed it won’t be because of a hangover. Been 34 years since I had one of those...and still remember what it’s like! Friday night Shirley and I went to a movie. Saturday...my day to sleep in...I didn’t. Up early, a few things done around the house, cleaned up and met Shirley to donate to the Bingo gods! Who apparently don’t like us anymore! We play at the Senior Citizens. I’m not old enough to get in...but they make an exception in my case! I usually give them a tip that I have heard somewhere. My favorite is to never take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time! Sunday up early once again...did my breathing exercise...a few things around the house...and made the mistake of going in to make my bed. It looked so inviting I thought I’d just lay down for five minutes! Needless to say that was the longest five minutes I’d ever seen! I never went to sleep...but I just couldn’t get up again. Once up, back to the grind of getting rid of another layer of dust! Late Sunday afternoon met Shirley for dinner/supper, and back home to get ready for Monday. And hoping that my computer would be fixed and nothing lost off of it. Had I just looked at my phone I would have seen Ryan’s call that I missed and I would have known that it was fixed and ready for use. Anyway...Monday by the time I called it a day, things were back on schedule, and all my worrying was for naught. This week I already have things lined up for the printing end of the business. And looking forward to it. Be good Kids! It’s Showtime!

Swaledale Federated Garden Club tours Landfill of North Iowa The September meeting of the Swaledale Garden Club took the group on a field trip to the Landfill of North Iowa. It was an interesting and eye-opening trip. It was also the first time many of had been on a school bus for a very long time! Mitzi Brunsvold, the Education Coordinator for the landfill, took the group on an extensive tour of the landfill. The landfill is very committed to recycling and keeping as much waste as possible from the landfill. In addition to making compost and mulch available, there are recycling bins for paper, cardboard, plastic and metal. Habitat for Humanity Restore and the hazardous waste collection area recycles these products by offering them to the public for use, such as paint, automotive fluids, cleaners, etc. If you think the landfill is just a “dump,� think again. A brief meeting was held in the education center following the tour. The next meeting will be held at the Swaledale community Center on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 6:30 p.m., with Todd Vonehwegen, from Lime Creek Nature Center, presenting a program on Monarch Mania. Guests are welcome to join the group.

It was windy and the boys were dressed to the hilt except for one young buck that be Mr. Darryl Peter, shorts no less.

Early voting time October is here and the chilly weather didn’t wait a second to come as well. As fall gets underway, that means harvest season is nearly here. Soon enough, farmers will be spending countless hours out in the fields doing what they do best: feeding the world. Be sure to watch for slow moving vehicles and have patience on the roads as harvest season kicks into full gear. Over the last two weeks, many areas across the state have been affected by severe flooding, including those in Butler County. The recent flooding brings back memories of the historic floods of 2008 that devastated communities all over the state. Fortunately, cities and towns were much more prepared this year with 2008 in the back of their minds. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt during the recent flooding. I’ve visited the communities of Clarksville and Greene in Butler County to see some of the damage myself. I’ve been working with local officials to be helpful where I can and point them in the right direction for resources when needed. During my tour, it was wonderful to see so many people from the community banding together during this crisis. People helped their neighbors move things out of houses and we even had students come down from Clear Lake to help with the cleanup efforts. I’m so proud of our community. Everyone came together and I want to thank all of them for their hard work during this difficult time. The State of Iowa offers assistance to lower income households that have been affected by the flooding. Disaster assistance grants help people with home or care repairs, replacement of property, and expenses for temporary housing. More information and an application for assistance can be found on the Department of Human Services’ website. As recovery and cleanup efforts begin, please be aware of potential scams. During times of natural disasters, fraudsters attempt to take advantage of affected individuals claiming to offer financial assistance that doesn’t exist or pose as official representatives who are there to help. Don’t provide these people with personal information and report any suspicious activity that you may encounter. If I can be helpful to you in any way during this time of recovery, please let me know.

The third place team and big buck winners was Cliffy Clifton himself Cameron, Garth Garrr himself Nelson and RogOOO Rogaaar himself Madsen. They also shot 70 but won on a tie-breaker.

To round out the battle, Darryl Darold himself Peter, Denny Denski himself Foss and DooooEE Dowaaan Paine finished so far back they had to stop and ask the cop how to get to the clubhouse. They all blamed Darryl because he wore those shorts and it made them cold looking at him. They shot a horrid XXXXXXXIIII. Yup that’s the entire truth and nuttin but the trooot! Actually the prizes are far from iota, in fact only amount to bragging rights. Dave Levitt told me he once held the door open for a clown and it was purely a jester. Duane Dorenkamp said when he has to decide between two evils he picks the one he hasn’t tried yet. Old Billy Bob Nolte told me that fishermen are reel men and at the same time Darryl Peter warned me not to swallow a clock because it is time consuming.

As Bazinga is pulling on my shirt tail telling me to quit this sillyness, old Philly Strand told me he put the “fun� in dysfunctional. So I be gone like a lost sheep in the mountains or wherever they live.

Sacred Heart moving forward

FGH

A new pastor presides over the parish

Market

BY ZACH CLEMENS After a tumultuous year for the Sacred Heart Parish in Rockwell, the congregation is moving forward with a new pastor and a new project to restore a building that was lost to flames. The Parish has seen a lot of change this John Gossman past year including their community center catching on fire early in the year, with the entire structure removed this summer. They also saw their pastor, Fr. Rod Allers, leave the church after struggling with addiction, and going to rehabilitation over it. Allers is now in the Dubuque area, with a new minister starting in the middle of August. Fr. John Gossman, 71, has been in the priesthood for 45 years, and is the new pastor of Sacred Heart. He was born in Minnesota, but grew up in Waterloo to a Catholic family. Gossman said every night he went to bed as a child he would pray on what he should do with his life— as the nuns at his school suggested he do. “Being a priest kept popping up in my mind during grade school, but then I discovered girls,” Gossman joked. “So I didn’t think much of it through high school.” He originally wanted to attend Iowa State and do something in forestry or animal husbandry, but God was calling him, Gossman said. He ended up graduating from Loras College, a four year Catholic college in Dubuque, and then four years of seminary. He splits his time between Sacred Heart in Rockwell, and in Clear Lake at St. Patrick’s. He also has duties at Newman Catholic High School in Mason City. He has enjoyed his time in Rock-

well, saying “It’s great here, small communities are always fun; friendly people, great atmosphere.” He isn’t new to Rockwell, every few weeks he would hold mass at Sacred Heart in the past, so he knew the community already. “I think that’s one reason why the Bishop asked me to come here [because I already knew them],” Gossman said. “It has all gone pretty well, people are good.” There are two masses at Sacred Heart during the week, on Tuesdays, then on Friday, sometimes at the care center in Rockwell. Gossman takes the performing of mass very seriously, and tries to be available to parishioners as much

as possible, while still being around for his congregation in Clear Lake, which can make for a busy week. “I love to be around people, spent time with people and do things for people,” Gossman said. “God blessed with me a fairly good sense of humor, I just love people.” Fr. Gossman will carve out time during his busy week to be at a church meeting on October 5 to get input on the design and function of a new building to replace the one lost to a fire. The building committee will get input from the Parish on how to proceed with the design of the building and the process it will take to get the new structure completed.

An additional two offices will also be established in the space. One for the clinic manager and the other for the lead clinic nurse, who is sharing with another mid-level nurse. The other portion of the renovations will be on the North side of the facility in the facility’s old storage space, which used to hold radiology film and records before the facility switched to Electronic Medical Records. In that space will be Senior Life Solutions, a program through the company Psychiatric Medical Care. The program specializes in both single and group therapy for elderly Medicare patients. “This will give us a service we don’t have,” Price said. “In Iowa, we don’t have enough psychologists. It’s a major issue. This will help us address those kinds of things.” The renovated north side will hold two group therapy rooms, three individual psychiatric offices, a vitals and nurse work room, as well as a reception area. The prog ram, which is r un through the Mercy network, has been slowly implemented in several facilities throughout the state, including Cresco and Osage. Its aims are to aid in acclimating elderly patients through the second phase of life, whether it be retiring and moving into the city, dealing with the death of a loved one or other life changing experiences. Price said that enough lead time has been set up, allowing for the center to be accessed immediately by patients. While the north side renovations are away from the larger hospital and can be freely worked on without

much obstruction to hospital function, the clinic portion of the project will be fully operational while under construction. Registration for patients will be shared with the hospital portion of the facility until the exterior sheet rock walls are constructed. Price said that the Mercy network will be providing no money for the

project, and that FGH has enough money set aside to make all the necessary improvements. Bids are expected to be heard at the Oct. 24 meeting, at 5 p.m., with a decision made after the hearing. Price said that the board is looking to have demolition occur in November with construction continuing in the winter.

Health Department announces lead based paint hazard control grant award

The 2015 West Fork High School football team rode a fire truck through the Homecoming parade route least year. FILE PHOTO

Warhawk homecoming week underway Homecoming week in full swing Monday kicked-off the week with a home JV football game against Central Springs. Students dressed up in patriotic fashion for “’Merica Monday.” Tuesday the kids dressed up as a “Tacky Tourist.” The Warhawks hosted a home volleyball match, while the cross country team traveled to Eagle Grove for their meet. The West Fork School District invites all communities’ members to activities on Thursday and Friday evenings: • Thursday, Oct. 6 A Powder Puff competition will be held at 6:30 p.m., at the football field. A pep rally and bon fire will follow the game. The 2016 homecoming king and queen will be crowned at the pep rally. • Friday, Oct. 7 Friday is Spirit Day. A parade will begin at 2 p.m., with a pep rally to follow in the south gym at the high school. At 5 p.m. there will be a tailgate meal by the Football Backers at the football field. The Warhawks will face North Butler at 7 p.m. for the homecoming football game.

The Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health has been awarded a competitive grant to protect children and families from the hazards of lead-based paint and from other home health and safety hazards. The three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) aims to reduce the number of children with elevated blood lead levels and protect families from lead poisoning by targeting low-income homes in Cerro Gordo County with significant lead-based paint hazards. “Lead and other home safety issues have negatively impacted area children; we are thrilled to have the opportunity to remediate homes to remove lead and safety issues to offer a safer future to area families,” said Brian Hanft, Project Director. “As a first-time awardee, Cerro Gordo County will have the opportunity to use over one million dollars in funding to expand HUD’s reach into our community.” “There is nothing more import-

ant than the health and safety of our children and these grants preventing lead poisoning provide a significant investment for their future,” Program Manager Jenna Willems stated. Older homes and poverty are risk factors for exposure to lead and other safety hazards. Nearly 18 percent of Cerro Gordo County children live in poverty and almost 60 percent of homes in Cerro Gordo County were built prior to 1960 when concentration of lead in paint was higher. Lead-contaminated dust from deteriorated lead paint is the primary cause of young children’s lead exposure and can lead to a variety of health problems, including reduced IQ, learning disabilities, developmental delays, reduced height, and impaired hearing. At higher levels, lead can damage a child’s kidneys and central nervous system and cause anemia, coma, convulsions and even death. For more information about lead or healthy homes, go to www.cghealth.com.

ENCHANTED ACRES

This female goat named Gem is the leader of the flock, Latham said.

Get ready for Halloween with a visit to Enchanted Acres.

Enchanted Acres offers a fun farm experience.

Latham started Enchanted Acres in part because of her childhood. “I really had a magical childhood growing up,” Latham said. “The Easter Bunny delivered live bunnies, Santa left live goats in the barn and I wanted just kids to be able to experience that.” She said she learned a lot of great lessons growing up like responsibility, hard work and even customer service. Latham wants to enable kids who are removed from a farm life to be able to experience a little bit of rural life. “I’m really passionate about having field trips here,” she said. “Field trips are really an extension of Ag in the classroom.” Kids on a field trip will be able to learn about different farm animals, interacting with and feeding rabbits and goats, and learning that chickens

lay eggs. There are also new kittens this year, which of course has been a hit for students in the few weeks Enchanted Acres has been open. There is also an age appropriate craft for kids to do, and there also is an opportunity for Latham to describe and educate how pumpkins and plants grow. Inside the barn there is an assortment of home décor for farm loving homes, as well as locally sourced food items from local farmers. “I believe there is room for all farmers, but it is good to support local farmers,” Latham said. “We have honey and wine from north Iowa, we make the bread and dip mixes here, it’s just making use and helping promote other businesses here. A high tide raises all boats.” There is a playground area, and a corn pit for kids to play in. Hayrides

are available as well, and Latham is always looking to host special events at the Acres. Enchanted Acres is a place for kids and adults to spend quality time together all while learning about ag-

riculture and supporting local farms. “I think it’s all about an experience, something to do together [as a family],” Latham said. “We offer a farm experience with the opportunity to have fun.”

know about,” said Allen. “There comes a point where investigative reports become historical records.” While Allen’s investigation centered on old cases, the debate over open records also impacts access to current cases. Sgt. Parizek explained some of the reasons why law enforcement would want to withhold investigative details. While the Des Moines Police Department hasn’t established a policy of blanket denials, there are circumstances where they would hold back information. “We don’t want suspects to know what information we have or where we got it,” said Parizek. Regarding closed cases, Parizek’s first suggestion for people seeking records on closed cases is to go through the court system. “If you want to know what happened, they’re going to have everything documented or filed,” said Parizek. However, for supplemental files, Parizek says that sensitive information may need to be redacted to protect other cases. For instance, in gang related cases. “The cycle of violence with gang related issues is very obvious to everyone so we may close one homicide case and there may be a lot of information in that supplemental report in the investigative files that could impact the closure of another case that we’re working on,” said Parizek. “Or it could compromise

the safety of a witness or victim in a case moving forward. Then we would definitely want to hold those things back.” Parizek also explained that the motives behind the request also factor into the decision of whether to withhold or release information. “I will forever argue that the spirit of that law was to inform and educate, not to entertain,” said Parizek. “When we have certain requests that are clearly based on entertainment as opposed to informing and educating the public then you’re probably not going to get the same response.” Citing two recent examples, Parizek explained that they have withheld video on a case where a fleeing suspect crashed into a bystander’s car, causing a fatal accident. The suspect has claimed that police pushed his car into the bystander. “I have seen the video. We did not hit that man’s car,” said Parizek. “There’s nothing I would like more than to put that video out, just to put that whole thing to rest.” However, Des Moines Police hasn’t released the video out of concern that it may compromise the suspects right to a fair trial and that it may set a precedent that would make it harder to justify withholding other videos. Such as a request for the video of the fatal car accident earlier this year when a drunk driver hit a police transport, killing two officers, the prisoner, and the driver.

“My response to them was ‘I’ll burn the building down before I let that video out,’” said Parizek. “The reason for that is that I see no educational value, nothing that could inform the public, about that. All it’s going to do is cause horrible pain.” But while Parizek argued for law enforcement to have the ability to withhold information that doesn’t serve the public, the counter argument warns that such practices open the door for law enforcement to pick and choose which information gets released based on how good it makes them look. “That is what I fear the road we’re going down,” said Foley. “That the police will use their discretion to release information that makes them look good and clears their officers of wrong doing, but that they will hold it back in cases where maybe there is questionable conduct on behalf of the police.” Foley provided an example of a recent case in Waterloo, where video of police brutalizing a man who had led them on a high speed chase was withheld on the investigative records exemption. Foley was able to receive a copy of the video from the suspects attorney and the subsequent release of the video has led to an ongoing discussion about police conduct in Waterloo. “I worry that, in cases like that, it’s being misused,” said Foley. The panel discussion opened up

A few new kittens have been a hit with visitors this year.

Latham has a herd of about 12 goats at Enchanted Acres.

RECORDS “I am not an information anarchist,” said Allen. “There is a time and a place for information to be released. I whole heartedly believe that there are circumstances where releasing information can endanger an investigation and should be held closely.” However, the specific cases that Allen was looking at were 40 or more years old, one of which had already been cleared with an arrest. However, even in these cases, the DPS and DCI denied his request for information. “It’s that type of response that I think everybody gets when they make a request of DPS,” said Allen. Allen’s appeal to the court system to have the records released resulted in a ruling by Polk County District Court Judge Robert Blink, who determined that, because of the placement of a comma in Iowa’s open record’s laws, law enforcement agencies can effectively seal records indefinitely. Technically speaking, unsolved cases can remain open forever and breakthroughs can happen, however Allen says he was unable to get an answer about when any actual investigative action happened on these cases. “If after 40 years all the evidence in these cases has not been examined and all trace evidence, all possible biological evidence has not been collected and put into codes, I think that’s something the public should

debate over who should be the gatekeeper when determining whether or not investigative files, particularly regarding video, should be released to the public, the police or the media. Under Iowa law, law enforcement does not legally have to release anything but the incident report. The more informative supplemental materials are released at their discretion. Changing that would require a legislative action. On that subject, Representative Kester said that Chapter 22, the public records law, was written before the advent of much of the technology used today in police investigations and is in need of an update. “There are 67 exemptions on how to conceal a public record,” said Kester. “There is a need for change in the law.” Police body cam video in particular has become a complicated area when it comes to law enforcement policy. With law enforcement officers regularly entering people’s homes, not to mention schools and hospitals, there are unanswered questions on when police should be recording, who should see those videos, and even how long the video should be kept. For instance, if police video a subject should that person have the right to see the video? In some cases Parizek says that they have allowed people to privately view video, but there is no policy or law mandating

that they do so. Other complications include video that is taken, but not attached to any specific criminal charges. Video of alleged police brutality may end up in an officer’s personnel file, rather than a court case, making it much more legally difficult to force into public view. Police are establishing their own protocols for when video is taken and how it is handled, but because it’s such complicated a subject it is difficult to develop simple rules for every situation. “We know that this is going to be a moving target for years to come because there is no legislation, because the technology evolves,” said Parizek. “Right now, what we’re left to deal with is Chapter 22 as it reads right now.” The crux of the issue seems to always come back on a lack of trust between law enforcement and the citizenry. Though most law enforcement agencies in the state apply common sense policies that find a middle ground between withholding sensitive information and respecting the people’s right to know, some agencies can and have used the exemptions in the public records law to circumvent its original intent. The panel found no conclusive solutions to the issue during their discussion, but the information provided from multiple points of views shed light on the many different factors that need to be considered.

MY FRIEND I was 10-years-old and under the covers with my transistor radio; my folks thought I was asleep. When they looked, they saw a lump under those covers but I was really at the game. Vin Scully had taken me there. Vinny’s retirement makes us remember all he has done for us. Transistor radios filled in the blanks at the game and away. When TV went digital a few years ago we decided we’d had enough. We’d planned our lives around getting in for the news and sat like zombies through hours of trash in order to see a couple minutes of TV worth watching. TV was worse than shaving or smoking; eliminate a lifetime of it and we could be happy and productive for another 10 or 20 years. Instead of being mesmerized a la George Orwell, we worked, looked at birds, read, talked to each other; stuff like that. Now the TVs are smaller, and everywhere. Out in public we see people dining together looking at their “devices.” Is Big Brother in there commanding them to believe...“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”? Now we are thinking of getting a TV antenna, for baseball. Upon moving to Iowa I adopted the Cubs as my team because I root for the underdog, Chicago has blues, and it’s close. Now the Cubs are on a tear and the Dodgers aren’t bad. I continue to

THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger think baseball represents life better than any sport. Pick a reason, but I think it is because there is no clock, there are limitless opportunities for those with ambition, and no one to blame but yourself. I’ve read several articles about Vinny lately that mentioned the transistor radio, after years of believing I was the only one. Could it be that all those sleepy students were pretending to be asleep so they could listen to the Dodger game? Sorta illustrates the value of revisionist history, doesn’t it? Scully is the only living man I’ve known longer than my barber. He started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. He moved with them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1957. He will call his last game Sunday afternoon with perennial rival, the Giants, who moved from New York to San Francisco that same year. Can you imagine having the same job for 67 years? Do you think Vin Scully always had everything fall into place for a

perfect job? No. But he made it right for himself and we all profited from his effort to please himself through his job to bring this game to our ears. He stuck with it for 67 years. Thank you, Mr. Scully. The recent death of superstar prospect, Jose Fernandez, makes it all the more moving that Vinny has given so much and also that so much is at stake. Fernandez defected from communist Cuba on his third try. He saved his mother’s life when she fell off the boat. He was jailed after his first two attempted flights to freedom. Another player sparked a parting commentary this year by Vin Scully, as a tiny rebuke to the leftist drivel coming from most other celebrities. Hernan Perez was up to bat for the Brewers (love that name). Scully mused of how Perez might think of the conditions he faces here compared to his home in Venezuela: “Socialism failing to work as it always does, this time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello. Anyway, Oh and Two.” Any comments on these articles are welcome through a letter to the paper or to 4selfgovernment@gmail. com. My blog might interest you as well: www.alternativebyfritz.com.

Such items include, but are not limited to: • Approved playground surface materials; • Exit signage; • Automated External Defibrillators; and • Fire extinguishers. The City of Sheffield submitted an application for the grant in August 2016, and was recently awarded $1,000 from the Pool. The city used the funds to purchase bulletproof vests.

Early pregnancy loss memorial service and Lullaby Lane dedication The Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa Birth Center, in partnership with Fullerton Funeral Home, will conduct its Annual Memorial Service for families who have experienced a pregnancy loss. The service, open to parents, family members and friends, will occur on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m. The observance will be held at Fullerton Funeral Home, located at 123 2nd Street SE in Mason City. Anyone who has experienced a loss at any gestation and at any time, even prior to this past year, is welcome to attend. “Our prayer is that this service will assist people who have experienced this type of loss in their journey of life, to bring comfort by saying good-bye, and to find closure, healing and hope for the future,” said Andrea Campbell, RN, Bereavement Coordinator at Mercy Birth Center and one of the organizers of the event. Following the memorial service, an inurnment blessing and dedication of Lullaby Lane will take place at Elmwood Cemetery in Mason City.

The newly constructed paver pathway leads up to the current memorial headstone in Lullaby Land. Lullaby Land is a designated section in Mason City’s Elmwood Cemetery where children lost to miscarriages less than 20 weeks are laid to rest. Those wishing to attend are asked to call (641) 428-7219 with approximate number of people attending. For those who have lost a child to miscarriage and would like to purchase a paver with their child’s name and date of loss engraved on it to be installed in Lullaby Lane, contact (641) 428-7740.

Fall urban trout stocking begins Oct. 13 Seventeen locations across Iowa are gearing up to receive trout this fall. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will release between 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout at each location as part of its cool weather trout program that brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer months. “Grab your neighbors, friends and kids and try trout fishing this fall,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau. “It’s time well spent. The fish are here, easy to catch and good to eat.”

The fall urban trout stockings are a great place to take kids to catch their first fish. Trout can be caught using the most basic fishing gear. A small hook with a nightcrawler or corn under a small bobber to casting small simple spinners such as a panther martin or mepps is all that is needed to get in on the fun. Bringing trout to cities and towns offers a “close to home” option for Iowans who might not normally travel to northeast Iowa to discover trout fishing. A family friendly event is often paired with the stocking to help anglers have success and

fun while fishing. The popular program is supported by the sales of the trout fee. Anglers need a valid fishing license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The daily limit is five trout per licensed angler with a possession limit of 10. Child ren age 15 or younger can fish for trout with a properly licensed adult, but they must limit their catch to one daily

HOLIDAY HACKS:

Simple seasonal solutions FAMILY FEATURES

T

he air is getting cooler, leaves are changing colors and days are getting shorter. All of these seasonal changes signal that the holidays are fast approaching. While many people love gathering with family and friends at this time of the year, entertaining can take the jolly out of the holiday. This year, take the stress out of hosting with these five simple holiday hacks. Buy in Bulk. One month before your holiday gathering, buy nuts – almonds, pistachios, walnuts – in bulk. Pour the nuts into screw-top mason jars, label with brightly colored tape and store in your pantry. When guests stop by, bring out a few jars, unscrew and serve with seasonal cider. Candy Cane Lane. Candy cane flakes work wonders – from holiday drinks to topping off cakes and ice cream. Crush candy canes in a blender or smash between paper towels and store in an airtight container. Simply sprinkle for seasonal ease and festive yum. Double Duty. Buy flavorful refrigerated salad dressings – think sriracha or ranch – and use to top salads or potatoes, or as a quick, delicious dip. One jar offers many solutions. Bee Smart. Be prepared for unexpected gift-giving moments and keep several simple and affordable gifts on hand. Pour local honey into mini mason jars, wrap the neck with holiday twine and include a message that works for all, “Have a BEE-autiful Holiday.� Tis the Seasons. For entertainment ease, keep versatile products on hand, like Simply Artisan Reserve Simple Seasons, a soft, finely crumbled cheese in a shakable jar. Sprinkle the cheese on flatbreads, sliders, desserts and more – and enjoy the flavor in every bite. With just 15 minutes of prep, you can make a seasonal dessert that looks like you spent all day in the kitchen. For more recipes, visit litehousefoods.com.

BLAZING A NEW TRAIL

ƒ Recent rainfalls affect course at Maynes Grove for cross country meet

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – When teams and fans alike arrived at Maynes Grove for the annual Hampton-Dumont cross country meet, they found a new course awaiting them. The usual star ting line was moved about 300 meters further down the course and runners were taking off downhill instead, taking a different loop around the trails since rainfall left part of the regular course boggy and unusable. But you ask the area runners who have competed on the course before and they liked the change, even though it is likely temporary. “I actually liked the course tonight,” H-D junior Patty Teggatz said. “It’s not too different than the original. I like that it starts out downhill. I’m thinking they are going to switch it back for conference.” Teggatz finished fifth, behind West Fork sophomore Kenna Weaver, both finishing in the 20-minute range. It was a consensus agreement for most of the runners that they liked this layout, though. “I loved it,” West Fork junior Talia Rowe said. “I didn’t run well because of personal reasons, but I loved it. Probably one of my favorites after Eagle Grove. Every day in practice we do hills, and this was all hills. (Coach Mark) Twedt knows that is important. It was all hills and this was our course, basically.” Rowe finished 18th as the Warhawks were fourth in the 10-team field. Osage, with four of its top five in the top-10 individually, won the team title with 42 points followed by Humboldt and individual champion Bryce Gidel in 19:19.11. The top four finishers have been ranked all season. Teggatz, though she has never finished lower than a top-10 finish all season, has not reached the top-30 rankings in 2A. And Humboldt originally wasn’t part of the H-D Invite field. “There definitely were (a lot of good runners here),” Teggatz said. “My goal was to go under 21, keep under 21 and I need to get my PR, probably shooting for it next race (20:48). “A lot of teams haven’t had a lot of races and wanted to come here to get another in. I say, the more competition, the better.” Maddison Shupe (25th), Miran-

West Fork’s Jacob Hansen, far left, races in the front with the top two finishers, Reece Smith of G-H-V and Riley Bauer of North Union, at the HamptonDumont Invite at Maynes Grove. Hansen finished fourth. KRISTI NIXON PHOTO

da Dixon (34th) and Rachael Hubka (44th) rounded out the Warhawk girls’ finishers included in team scoring. “We’re getting better,” Rowe said. “This is only the third time we’ve actually raced because all of the weath-

er. If I would have maintained what I did, we should do well and hopefully get to state with what we have. “Good competition here today and we needed that.” With four of the top runners in Class 2A and 1A in the boys’ field,

the top two created some separation from 1A top-ranked Jake Hansen with a mile to go. Hansen was fourth overall in 17:17 behind Reece Smith of G-H-V (16:25), Riley Bauer of North Union (16:34) and G-H-V’s Logan Dalbeck (16:58). “I was feeling good before the race started and the first half,” Hansen said. “I don’t know, it’s been frustrating. My workouts have been so much better than the races. I can’t run any faster in the races; it doesn’t make sense. I just need some rest, I’ll be fine. “I thought it was an okay course today. It wasn’t extremely fast except for the top guys. A couple of mud spots, didn’t affect it too much.” The Warhawk boys were fourth out of 11 complete teams at the meet, scoring 103 points. G-H-V, with all five of its scorers among the top-12 easily won with 28 team points. Also scoring for West Fork were Josh Stevens (20th), Zach Martinek (23rd), Connor Schulz (31st) and Brett Barkema (37th). H-D’s top finisher among the boys, Parker Allen, was 25th overall, just passed on a late kick by C-G-D/ CAL’s Luke Rapp with both finishing at 19:12. See CROSS COUNTRY: Page 14

Area fishing report for north central Iowa The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ weekly fishing report is compiled with information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and state park staff. For current information, contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at (641) 357-3517. Clear Lake: Anglers without a boat can still find some good wading opportunities in early October for yellow bass and walleyes. Try the MacIntosh swim beach, off the North Shore on the edge of the rushes and off Farmer’s Beach. Use a jig and piece of cut bait or minnows, or try a bobber and small light hook with bait under a bobber. Yellow bass, excellent. Farmers beach (just outside the weed edge), MacIntosh swim beach, and the Ventura jetties have been producing well. HyVee and other rock reefs have also continued to produce. Try also the channel between the little lake and big lake. Action has picked up this week with anglers reporting fish on every cast, at times. Walleye, good. Walleye action is starting to pick up in certain areas. Use jigs and a minnow or cut bait in many of the same areas that yellow bass are biting. Black crappie, fair. Some crappies are being caught near the Hy-Vee reef or in tight to docks in early morning. Muskellunge, good. Musky fishing has been decent; October is usually a good month for musky fishing. Yellow perch, good. Yellow perch are hitting by the grade on 1/16 ounce black leadheads with a piece of cut bait. Lake Smith: Largemouth bass, good. Largemouth are starting to go on the feed with cooler water.

So much SPORTS IN BRIEF more than • Warhawks post first win of season volleyball NASHUA – West Fork quarterback Jarel Arbegast scored two touchdown runs and Lukas Wogen completed a 65-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell Halloran as the Warhawks earned their first victory, a 28-14 triumph at Nashua-Plainfield, on Friday, Sept. 30. The touchdown strike put the Warhawks up for good as the two teams were tied at 14 at the half. Cole Hall carried the ball 36 times for 210 yards for the yeoman’s work and a touchdown of his own late as coach Eric Gabe’s team improved to 1-5 overall, 1-3 in Class A District 3. Defensively, the Warhawks came up big, getting quarterback sacks against the Huskies’ Dayton Hansen from Alex Bender, Ian Gonzalez and Noah Sparks. Kyle Rooney tallied five solo tackles and eight tackle assists to lead the way. Michael Fjone also came up with an interception against Hansen. West Fork will play host to North Butler for homecoming this Friday night. The Bearcats will play their third game in seven days after being forced to postponed due to flooding two weeks ago.

• Warhawks swept by Central Springs SHEFFIELD – Central Springs came to Sheffield and won three close sets to earn a sweep of West Fork on Thursday, Sept. 29. Despite a match-high 17-kill effort by the Warhawk senior Lexi Bray, the Panthers pulled out the 25-23, 25-19, 26-24 win. Jacqlyn Caspers added nine kills and a pair of blocks, as well as 8-of8 serving with an ace. Getting double-duty on the day was Maddison Shupe, who ran earlier in the day at the Hampton-Dumont cross country invitational, only to come back and record four kills, a block and an assist for the volleyball team. But the Warhawks came up short in falling to 9-6 overall, 5-2 in the Top of Iowa East, dropping to third behind Osage and Central Springs. West Fork looked to rebound at home against Nashua-Plainfield on Tuesday, Oct. 4 during homecoming week.

ƒ North Butler, West Fork battle during Pink Out, Senior Night after flood recovery BY KRISTI NIXON GREENE – There was so much going on packaged around the North Butler vs. West Fork volleyball match on Tuesday, Sept. 27. A night that had already been planned to raise money for breast cancer awareness in which the Bearcats were wearing pink uniforms, they also recognized their four seniors and made a heartfelt thank you to those in the West Fork community who came to help with flood/storm recovery when the Shell Rock River went out of its banks the week before as well as a small tornado that hit Greene. And, oh yeah, there was a Top of Iowa Conference match to be played. That went to West Fork, 3-1, after it got off to a fast start and held on against a hard-charging Bearcat team in the 25-9, 25-21, 20-25, 25-23 final. The first set wasn’t indicative of what was to come in the match. “I think it was just the girls getting back in rhythm,” North Butler coach Br yan Tabber t said. “They missed part of practice Wednesday because of the tornadoes that came. We had to spend three hours in the boys’ locker room, half without power, didn’t have school Friday, missed our tournament Saturday. Monday, we finally had practice and the girls are sore from sandbagging, picking up trees, stuff like that. “They came in sore, so I didn’t want to push them too much because we knew we had a big game (the next day). So, it was just a matter of getting back into the rhythm of volleyball.” West Fork coach Abbee Dickman realized that the lack of practice and playing time factored into the slow Bearcat start. “That’s ver y, ver y possible and I feel awful on that side of it because they probably didn’t get as much practice time in and probably couldn’t even get here to the gym to practice,” Dickman said. “We were wondering if we were going to have the game at our place because of the situation. It was an opportunity to play tonight and our girls did a good job tonight as well as theirs.” In the opening set, North Butler recorded seven kills. The following three sets the Bearcats put down 35 more with both Nicole Heeren and Kayla Siemens tallying nine while Darby Christensen and Emy Osterbuhr with eight apiece. That contributed to the set three win that forced the fourth which was back-and-forth. “The girls bounced back from all of it,” Tabbert said. “The girls

summed up the community, not going to the Denver tournament so they could stay and help out family here in Greene. I spent Saturday helping out coach (Ross) Hawker clean out the Greene Recorder, pulling out carpet. That’s more important than volleyball right there.” But in the end, the quick start by West Fork proved to be the deciding factor. Jacqlyn Caspers recorded a match-high 13 kills and Lexi Bray added 12. Four of Caspers’ kills were tips. “We battled,” Tabbert said. “West Fork is a great team. Jacqlyn Caspers is a great athlete and has that natural height that we had trouble dealing with. She was able to tip the ball at us.” But Dickman said she would have rather seen her team put down straight kills rather than tip against North Butler. “I like strategy and I like the fact that they like to hit,” Dickman said. “I always tell them, ‘it’s not how hard you can hit, it’s the placement of the ball.’ Tonight, it wasn’t just the placement. We were able to capitalize when we hit hard and they were struggling with it. To be honest, when they blocked a couple it went in our head a little bit, that’s what happens. We got scared and backed down; I told them, ‘if you get scared, are you going to lay there and take it or are you going to fight back?’ and they came through, and I’m proud of them.” In the fourth and final set, with the score knotted at 23, Bray record-

ed a push kill and then Teya Adams’ ace ended it. “We knew North Butler is a good team and no matter their record, they are a strong team and they come and they fight,” Dickman said. “They might not always have six volleyball players, but they always have six athletes on the court and that’s why I always love playing against them. “Because they are competitive and tonight we were able to capitalize on the first two games and luckily for us, we took the first handily and in the third game, we knew we

couldn’t just die down. To be completely honest, I knew something was going to happen. I was just waiting for it. It wasn’t a shock.” Tabbert considered the way his team fought back a thing to build from. “Once they got back into volleyball, built up the confidence, I think they were able to play with West Fork, just a little too late for us,” Tabbert said. “I told the girls I was proud of them. We battled back from everything that happened last week and we battled back from the first set.”
