Sacred Heart Parish discusses new build An architect is hired to design the new center BY ZACH CLEMENS acred Heart Parish in Rockwell had a congregational meeting on Oct. 5 to discuss, as a group, what the new church center should be used for. Sacred Heart’s community center was lost to a fire at the beginning on the year, and during the summer the structure was removed to make way for a new building to be erected. “Nothing was actually decided, it was more of an informational meeting to talk about the architect and what the church wants to see done with the building,” said Tim Nuehring, a member of the building committee tasked with finding a new architect and getting work started. About 30 members of the parish attended, and they discussed their opinions on what the new building should be used for. There was talk about having it for community use and for religious education. The past center was used to hold community outreach events, religious educations groups, and where a lot of fundraisers were held for the parish. The parish has retained Waggoner and Wineinger Architects out of Mason City for the project. The firm has been in business for over 90 years and has worked with a number of other churches in designing structures for them, including Newman Catholic schools, according to their website. Nuehring said the building committee will meet this week to further discuss the new center and move forward with the project. The new build is funded because the archdiocese out of Dubuque has comprehensive insurance on the building.

Franklin County F Planning and Zoning recommend Zo approval of urban renewal plan ur amendment BY ETHAN STOETZER he Franklin County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the county supervisors approve of the amendment to the 2015 CoOp Urban Renewal Area/ Urban Re Renewal Plan with NEW Co-Op, cit citing permissions in the land use plan plan. T The Franklin County Comprehen hensive Land Use Plan states: “… Em Emphasis has been on working with exi existing value-added groups, development of value chains and working to develop quality systems to ensure food safety and accountability…” Administrator Russell Wood explained that NEW Co-Op would be taking the raw product of corn and soy, from Iowa, and modifying that product in to something new, thus adding value to the initial product. The feed mill would then count as value added agriculture, Wood said. NEW Co-Op currently has an urban renewal area/plan signed with the county, for its facility at the corner of Highway 3 and Wright Ave. The Co-Op is asking for the plan to expand by 10 acres, and be given clearance for tax rebates. NEW Co-Op is expecting to invest $23.5 million in the new feed mill, adding between 12 and 15 jobs. Previous concerns with the project were the noise level, but after gathering information from the mill in Litterdale, it was identified that the mill would not be producing excessive noise. All equipment would be contained in the building, and be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational safety and Health Administration.

Friday in a 20 point first quarter and finished with their biggest offensive game of the season in defeating Dows 56-16. S-C/M-T scored on their first possession as John Kasper ran 24 of his game high 129 yards through the right side of the line for a TD. Dows was not allowed a first down and when the Spartans got the ball back Troy Terry took a screen pass 15 yards for the second score. The third TD of the quarter came on a two yard drive by Mike Schilling. Steve Meints had his hand in the second period scores as he ran for a nine yarder and got a spectacular catch from Troy Terry for a 26 yard TD pass. The first half ended 34-0 as the Spartan front line of Chad Shaw, Dave Mahn, Dave Meints, Matt Brinkman and Daren Meints really proved their dominance over the young Dows defenders. For most of the game the Tigers had ten defenders within three yards of the line of scrimmage to apply pressure to the Spartan offense. Individuals were substituted freely in the second half but that did not stop Mike Schilling or John Kasper from each getting to the end zone one more time before the JV took over altogether. In the fourth quarter Kelly Etnier sprinted through a good hole in the JV line for 55 yards and the final score of the night. Freshmen Lance Larson and Bob Merfeld combined on the pass for the two- point conversion. Overall S-C/M-T racked up 444 yards of offense as ten carriers contributed to 283 yards of rushing and six receivers made 12 catches totaling 161 yards. The 1986 Spartan football cheerleaders are Rhonda Smit, Dee Dee Foss, Diane Dohlman, Jodi Ammerman, Janna Heuberger, Jalene Koenen, Laura Crabtree, April Meyer. The Sheffield swimming pool hosted a Swim-A-Thon this past summer. Participants were Dawn Anderson, Shea Siems, Angela Zimmerman, Jody Siems, Chad Slagle, Dale Hubka. Mrs. F. X.

Miss Sandra Eckhardt of Mason City spent the week end at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Eckhardt. OCTOBER 20, 1966 Homecoming week end was a soggy affair from the standpoint of the weather but on the grid-iron the Sheffield-Chapin football team caught fire and again romped over the field for a 26-0 victory before an abbreviated crowd. Spartans won the toss and received, then fumbled the ball near the goal line. CAL recovered, and it looked like a sad cold wet night for the homecoming. But the Spartan defense, which was outstanding a week ago, had a stiff upper lip and a strong line to hold the Cadets for downs and gain the ball. Steve Groesbeck and Bob Weber paced the backs and moved the ball down field. They were held for downs and CAL took over, Jerry Letzring breaking loose for a 40-yard run which was pulled short of the goal. Spartan defense again held, neither team could move the ball, and the quarter ended 0-0. In the second quarter Spartans started to move. Weber made a 50yard run around the end to score the first touchdown of the night. Groesbeck made the extra point for a 7-0 Spartan edge. CAL received but could not move out. The next Spartan touchdown was set-up on a 10-yard pass to Jeff Yelland who was stopped on the 12-yard line. Weber smashed through the middle of the line for the touchdown and a 13-0 Spartan edge, the extra point try failing. CAL received and did move the ball

AGE OF THE GEEK

By J.Z.

And then...and then...there was last week! And I can’t remember anything that went wrong...that I was responsible for, anyway. That alone is just shy of a miracle! Got most of the custom printing caught up...but not everything. I always like to be just a little behind. And those in Hampton seem to make that happen! I have one job here that I’m waiting for supplies. That ought to be interesting; not a huge job...but the item to be printed on is bigger than the press! And the weight of it is just a little more than tissue paper. In the end it will probably take just as long as a larger job. I like challenges...usually! This was the first week in quite a while that I haven’t come up to the office to catch up on some work...or try to get ahead of the Monday rush (usually)! And that was due to a wedding on Saturday, and catching up on sleep and work on the home front Sunday. And that’s the way it was! Home...the usual! I finally gave up dusting quite as often. Now I write my name in the dust...and then wait until I can write my name in the dust in the same place! And believe it or not...it doesn’t take two weeks for that to happen! Friday the American Legion had an entry in the Homecoming parade. Dick Brown and I carried the flags...in the back of a pickup! Sitting down. I don’t know about Dick...but I’m way too old to walk that far! Thirty-nine is old, isn’t it? Saturday Shirley and I attended the wedding of her granddaughter at Lake Mills. Then the reception at Clear Lake. Shirley and another granddaughter’s husband had to be in Lake Mills for pictures mid-morning. Her granddaughter, kids and I didn’t have to be there until the wedding, so we went together later. That way we only had two cars there instead of four. Then to Clear Lake for the reception, dinner and dancing. I do not dance. Never have! I have two left feet! I enjoyed visiting with the others with the same problem! Shirley has three children, nine grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren. Plus their spouses, cousins, etc. Do I remember all their names? At 39, I’m lucky if I can remember some of them! Anyway...we had a good time. Took Shirley back to Manly and I got back to Sheffield about 2:00 a.m. Way past my bedtime! As I said above...I tried to sleep in...but I still woke up about 7:30. Tried to fall back asleep...but that didn’t work. Decided to eat breakfast...which consists of the same thing each morning...10 or 11 pills...and use my nebulizer! (If that’s how you spell it!) Did the chores around the house...cleaned up...and met Shirley for some shopping, dinner, and made our donation to the Bingo parlor. Someday I’m going to win...I hope! Be good Kids! It’s Showtime!

The national Ryder Cup has nothing over on our very own rendition. The teams were picked from the world’s finest, well at least our senior league Wednesday guys, and they did battle with team Geriatric I versus Geriatric II. Fanfare abounded as the throngs encircled all the greens and fairways, oh whoops I just woke up that was a dream I guess. Anyhow, the old general General Severe type drafted the two teams and gave them instructions to conquer all, don’t shoot until you have a good shot and take no prisoners. Both teams were looking for the largest of large guerdon bragging rights. The team that conquered all was led by Captain Darryl Peter and his platoon won 11½ to 4½ over the lowly second place team. The Red team consisted of Darryl Peter, Rog Madsen, Cliff Cameron, Jim Saylor, Steve Heeren, Bob Shreck, and Denny Phillips. The losing team members were Doug Siems, Phil Strand, Ned Bohach, Dean Peter, Dick Brown, Bill Nolte Tom Severe and Frank Schnoes. The battles were conducted using six holes of best shot, six holes of match play and six holes of best ball. The day started out with the troops scrambling to find their sweat pants to cover up their shorts as it was downright cold. As the sun finally peeked out the boys heated up and their game was enhanced. The Blue team just could not get their motors running as they sputtered, choked out and succumbed to a superior foe. Oh how that hurts. I could possibly use some invective words here but no I’m far beyond that, well close anyway. The loss left us all in a woebegone mental state looking for vulnerary means. As the old Bohemian philosopher stated, “When nothing goes right, go left.â€? The only consolation was the great bowl of chili and ham sandwich that Chef Austin prepared for us. The putt of the day came off the putter of Darryl (double R) Peter on hole number six. It was about 61 feet 3½ inches, downhill, sloping left, then leveling off and ker plunk, gosh just like his dad. Jimmy the old sailor Saylor man played lights out, I mean it was smash down the middle, long iron smack to the green and then putted like a demon. Word has it that the General severe Severe type lost a dozen golf balls that were just the first nine. Way to keep the golf ball economy rolling Tommy. The old General Severe tennis guy told me to never marry a tennis player because LOVE means nothing to them. Steve Heeren the old bird man told me the best time to go to the dentist is tooth-hurtie. DeanO Peter the ultimate farmer told me he lost his tractor as it turned into a field. Okay Mr. Bazinga I hear ya hollering to please vamoose silly boy so I shall. Finally Shreckie told me he was at a very emotional wedding even the cake was in tiers.

Vice Vices This year’s Presidential election race has introduced a lot of interesting characters to the political scene, but up until last week there have been a couple of conspicuous absences. Senator Tim Kaine and Governor Mike Pence have spent the bulk of this campaign standing in the shadows of their running mates, all but absent from the campaign trail. It’s an odd shift from previous years. Joe Biden continuously made his presence known as Barack Obama’s right hand in 2008 and 2012. Paul Ryan was a high profile GOP congressman before he campaigned with Mitt Romney and as Speaker of the House is now closer to the presidency than Romney ever got. And Sarah Palin, one could argue, all but overshadowed John McCain after he pulled her from obscurity. Yet last week’s debate was the first time for many to be exposed to the two men looking to be the vice-president this time around. As far as introductions go, Kaine could have done better and Pence could have done worse. If you were keeping score at home, Kaine was factually correct more often than not, and in general offered greater detail on the policies of his running mate. But these traits were overshadowed by his frequent interruptions and aggressive tendency to redirect any particular topic at hand towards Donald Trump’s many flaws. From a pure optics standpoint, it’s clear that Pence came out looking the better of the two. Pence interrupted less frequently and spoke with far more composure and grace than his opponent. His background as a radio host served him well as he offered a calm and polished alternative to Kaine’s manic performance. Particularly since Pence was operating under a handicap. While Kaine had Clinton’s extensive expertise to draw from, Pence had the near impossible task of extrapolating a coherent policy out of Trump’s inflammatory and often contradictory statements. Instead of offering a clear and concise answer, Pence relied on his skills as an orator to filibuster his way out of tough questions with meaningless platitudes. Well, that and the utter denial of objective reality. Both men cherry picked facts to their liking, as is expected of politicians, but Pence’s gift for poise made even the most outlandish statements seem reasonable and he pushed that gift as far as it would take him. But there was one assertion from Pence that no amount of smooth talking could make believable. That was the notion that it was Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, running the “insult driven campaign� in this race. Pence said it with such authority that I’m not sure he’s met his own running mate. This is, after all, a man who made giving his opponents derogatory nicknames a cornerstone of his campaign. Personal attacks aren’t simply a reality of the Trump campaign. They’re an ever present component. In fact, if Pence had access to his phone during the debate, he would have seen Trump tweeting out insults live. As for attack ads, it is true that the Clinton campaign has put out some devastating material. I’m not entirely sure you can call them “attacks� or “insults� though. Yes, there are insults present in the ads, but that’s because the Clinton campaign has taken the strategy of compiling the terrible things Trump says on a regular basis and presents them verbatim. If judging purely on the basis of being likable and convincing voters to be okay with having you a heartbeat away from the presidency, there’s no doubt Kaine lost. However, that didn’t appear to be his primary goal. Instead, Kaine’s objective seemed to be to put Pence on the defensive as often as possible. Within twelve hours, the Clinton campaign released another “attack ad� composed of Pence denying that Donald Trump has said terrible things, immediately followed by the video proof. I can’t say I approve of such a strategy. I would have liked to see what these two had to say about themselves, rather than each other’s running mates. That said, it will probably be effective. By the time this column sees print, we’ll already be back to focusing on the main candidates. Few will remember Kaine’s hyperactive debate performance, but the clip of Pence denying that Donald Trump didn’t know Russia had invaded the Ukraine will go on forever. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and still wishes Hillary would have picked Bernie Sanders as VP.

Moderators are the t enemy of debates NEWSPLAINING

Ethan Stoetzer If it’s one thing that anyone can agree upon as we weather the last month of the 2016 election cycle, it’s that debate moderators have been terrible at keeping these nationally televised programs in check. Or have they? If you’ve merely had the debates on in the background of your dwelling, or have simply kept up with the sound bites on social media, it has been plain to see that candidates from both the Democrat and Republican parties have had their way with moderators, via dodging questions, pandering to the Russians or that defeating ISIS and sexual assault are in the same vein, policy wise. In three straight debates, talking time has been pretty much equal, but what has actually been said by these candidates? More importantly, what questions have been asked of these candidates? Amidst scandal after scandal, these candidates have been coming out, swinging to the fences, seeing who can coax the other to say something they can’t take back, and the moderators have been seemingly allowing it. Matt Lauer botched the simple job of any journalist, letting Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump get away with saying he never supported the Iraq war, when it is widely well known that he did on the Howard Stern show. Lester Holt attempted to hold Trump accountable for his support of the war, but Trump’s persistence dragged the conversation to the formation of ISIS and why its formation is the fault of Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Holt never asked Clinton if the Obama Administration perceived that ISIS would form in the vacuum that the US left. Instead, the questions remained vague and his control of the candidates yielded meme after meme of the candidates’ policy-vacant banter. Elaine Quijano was practically missing from the Vice Presidential debate, as both Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mike Pence dogged it out, talking over her. Quijano never corrected Pence that Trump did name-call women, did praise Vladimir Putin and insulted an American General, and prisoner of war (John McCain). She never asked Kaine to stop interrupting, and never asked either of them what policies their party wants to implement. Regardless of how unimportant the VP debates are in the election cycle — they rarely decide elections — that debate was a fist fight by men in suits on national television. I watched these debates and prayed that one of the moderators would say something, anything to keep the debates in check. I was waiting for both candidates’ noses to be held to the grind stone, forced to defend their policies. My only hope was put in CNN’s Anderson Cooper. I’d seen him do that to Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the primary debate. Cooper is a solid journalist and isn’t afraid to be an antagonist. I thought this was going to be the time. At the second presidential debate, hyped up by the firestorm of Trump’s sexual assault comments and Clinton’s leaked speeches to Wall Street banks, both Cooper and CBS’ Martha Raddatz did their best, I guess, with what they had to work with, forcing candidates to defend their scandals, and allowing both of them to pander to ISIS and Russia, and subsequently allowing Trump to interrupt Clinton 18 times as to Clinton’s once, and allowing his authoritarian threat to jail Clinton to go unanswered (for perspective, former Soviet Union leader Joesph Stalin imprisoned political figures for disagreeing with him and usurping state agencies to “erase� people and jail them for life. Putin practices the same methods). Trump should have had to explain those comments. Clinton should have had to

defend her private life comments, but wasn’t asked to. What I had thought would be the savior of the debates wound up being one of the biggest enablers. Cooper failed me. But maybe this is my fault in thinking that the debates are something that they aren’t. In the cable news era of our democracy, and the advent of the 24-hour news cycle, I expected things to stay the same. In the 1960s, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon sat on wooden chairs, with a moderator standing between them at a small podium. There was no audience, just two politicians talking politics. A boring event. The concept of debates is centered around a dialogue of facts used to form cohesive arguments based on true principles. Do you see that in any of these debates? All I’ve heard are slanders and pandering. There are no discussions on policy from either candidate. No one has had to explain what health care plan they want to implement. No one has had to explain how the US will follow the Paris treaty talks on curtailing pollution. No one has had to explain anything. High school debate teams provide me with more facts and cohesive arguments than these candidates, whose job it is to form coherent arguments. The Commission for Presidential Debates is a non-profit, non-partisan entity that schedules debates and establishes their format. They make no money from advertisements or sponsors, and get no help from the federal government. I watched the organizers of this organization pat themselves on the back at the second presidential debate, for doing a good job of handling the debates, and after that debate, I thought they had nerve. The only thing these debates do are create sound bite after sound bite, that replay on the news programs — where the moderators come from — and set up a coliseum-like environment where these gladiator-like politicians create zings and one liners to drag their opponents through the mud. The debates are currently designed for ratings and Facebook shares, rather than debating fine policy adjustments, of which, none have been talked about. I’m not saying that candidates shouldn’t be held accountable for their conduct; Trump and Clinton should be held accountable by the cable news, but debates are supposed to be about policy decisions that will help the country. Yes, both campaigns have websites that are loaded with political jargon that the average person does not understand. Debate moderators should be the explainers of these policies, asking the candidates to explain why it will work and what problems it might have. Until that happens, these debates are reality shows; and Trump was right. I’d rather be watching football.

Iowa is good for business Your Iowa Senate is working to expand Iowa’s middle class and build a stable economy for all. We’re spurring long-range growth and prosperity across Iowa by: • Ensuring Iowans have opportunities for job training • Offering incentives to Iowa businesses • Boosting quality of life in our communities These efforts are producing good results. Iowa is again one of the top 10 states for business, according to CNBC. The latest analysis spotlights Iowa’s low cost of doing business, low cost of living and great quality of life. We also have the best possible credit rating and have shown steady growth. A few of the initiatives we’ve championed in recent years that have helped Iowa achieve this success include: • Improving Iowa’s roads and bridges to move goods and provide services more efficiently. • Phasing in the largest property tax cut in the state history by providing tax relief to owners of commercial and industrial property. • Providing a tax cut to thousands of Iowa small businesses and farmers by aligning Iowa’s tax code with many federal tax changes. • Offering incentives to businesses that locate and expand in Iowa, particularly when they commit to making a strong contribution to the local economy and creating good jobs for residents. • Investing in innovative programs at our state universities that spur economic growth when they work with communities and businesses to improve technology, marketing and entrepreneurship. • Establishing tax credits for industries that turn byproducts from biomass feedstock into higher-value chemicals. • Exempting from sales tax supplies and replacement parts used in manufacturing, research and development, data processing and recycling. These are known as “consumables.â€? The Iowa economy is steadily moving in the right direction, and I’m working to ensure that continues. Iowans deserve good jobs and fair pay that rewards their hard work. Sen. Amanda Ragan (D-Mason City) serves Franklin, Butler and Cerro Gordo counties in Senate District 27.

FCEH offers free water tests and provides funds for well maintenance BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin County Environmental Health Department is currently offering funds through the county to support well plugging and rehabilitation. Director Dan Tilkes said that the program is only for those living in rural parts of the county, as individual cities test their water quality. The program is run through the state, which makes grant money available to the county for such upkeep. The funds cover up to $500 in well-plugging, and up to

$1,000 towards well rehab. Tilkes also said that the department is also offering free well testing to those in rural areas. He explained that with the high water table from the September rains, now would be the opportune time to test the well water. Grant money will be available through July 1, 2017, or until the funds run out. Tilkes said that the county has “quite a bit,” of funds from the state for this purpose. Tilkes said that the county hasn’t historically had any problem in well water quality.

Tuttle leading Belgian league LIMBURG, BELGIUM – Sheffield native and West Fork graduate Seth Tuttle is leading the Euromillions League for Hubo Limburg United, a Belgian professional basketball league, in three statistical categories. Among three of the five statistical categories, Tuttle ranked second, third and fourth in the top five in blocks, assists and rebounds per game, respectively, a few games into the season. Tuttle signed with the Belgian team in late July. His 1.5 blocks per game is second only to Spirou Tumba (six). Tuttle is also third in the league in assists at 5.5 and fourth in rebounds at 7.5. The leader in rebounding in the league averages eight boards per game. Limburg United is 1-1 and played on Wednesday, Oct. 12 and again on Saturday, Oct. 15. The regular season runs through May 10.

Ernst said some government regulation could harm small businesses and there is a need for deregulation to help a small business grow. John Latham agreed, saying that some regulations from agencies like the USDA and EPA make it hard for a small business to operate. Both John and Chris have been pleased with the Iowa senator’s term so far though. “She has done a great job,” John Latham said. “She’s sympathetic to small businesses and I think represents us well.” Chris Latham added that Sen. Ernst is a great listener and very receptive to sharing ideas and solutions. Ernst continued her 99 county trek, and was in Cerro Gordo County on Oct. 7.

Clerk Flint discussed with the Council her idea of a progressive dinner in Sheffield. “It would be something for the fall, in mid-November,” she said. “We would work with local restaurants and businesses in town and people could go around and have a progressive supper.” Councilman Ron Simmons suggested that the city not get involved. “I’d work with the [Sheffield community club and Sheffield betterment club] for this, because we are going to receive backlash for this,” he said. “Who would have insurance on this thing anyways?” A motion to go ahead with the progressive supper was voted down by a vote of 3-2. The Council approved new tires for both the Public Works truck and the Police truck. The next City Council meeting on November 14 will be a public hearing to discuss applying for the Community Development Block Grant. The Sheffield Fire Department’s turn-out gear went missing and Chief Cain said he was going to look into it.

Children’s Autism Center, Disability Rights Iowa partner to host public special education seminars Disability Rights Iowa and Opportunity Village Children’s Autism Center are teaming up to offer the public two free seminars focusing on special education law and guardianship and substitute decision-making. The first seminar is scheduled Oct. 20 from 5:30-7:30 p.m., and focuses on special education law. It will be led by presenters Nathan Kirstein, J.D., staff attorney with Disability Rights Iowa, and Beth Rydberg, senior advocate with Disability Rights Iowa. Presentation topics include individualized education program (IEP) components, discipline, restraint and seclusion, and bullying and harassment of students with disabilities. Presenters also will discuss the rights children have when they are eligible for special education, as well descriptions of acronyms and terms commonly used in IEPs; when a student with a disability can be disciplined and the procedural safeguards regarding change in placements; restraint and seclusion under Iowa regulations; and reporting bullying and harassment and how bullying can lead to a denial of a free and appropriate public education.

The presentation will be led by Scott Lyon, J.D., adult and investigations staff attorney with Disability Rights Iowa. Presentation topics include the rights of individuals

under guardianship law in Iowa (authority and responsibility of guardians, due process and procedural rights of the ward), specific issues in restrictive decision making (food/diet, relationships/sexuality, medication), and what to do if the ward’s rights are violated, among other topics. Both presentations will be held in the Severtson Forum at the Kinney-Lindstrom Center, located on Opportunity Village’s Clear Lake campus, 1200 N. 9th St. W. in Clear Lake.

NIACC to hold free program on Alexander Hamilton North Iowa Area Community College will offer a program on Alexander Hamilton on Wednesday, Oct. 19, in Be e m Ce nt e r 200 on the NIACC campus, from 2:30-4:30 p.m. This free publ ic for u m will be facilitatHamilton ed by Bennett Smith, history and political science instructor at NIACC. Alexander Hamilton was from the West Indies, and this was important in giving him a more detached perspective on local colonial affairs. It will eventually lead him to a more nationalist perspective in founding the Federalist Party and as an author of the Federalist Papers. He served in the American Revolution as an aide-de-camp to George Washington and saw action at the famous Battle of Yorktown. After the War, Hamilton became our first Sec-

retary of the Treasury, in the Washington administration, and was very influential in putting the country on a firm financial foundation. A recommended reading list and handout will be provided, and there will be a question and answer session after the lecture. The facilitator, Bennett Smith, is an asset manager in Clear Lake, Iowa, and an instructor in History and Political Science at NIACC. He is also an instructor in various lifelong learning programs including the NIACC Lifelong Learning Institute; the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Iowa State University and the LIFE program at Rochester Community and Technical College in Rochester, Minnesota. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Communication from Iowa State University, and has also done graduate work at the University of Iowa in Social Foundations of Education. He is currently a graduate student in the Master of Arts program in History at Iowa State University.

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 or 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. Action has been good to excellent at Hy-Vee reef, State Reef, the sandy shoreline near the Ventian Village mouth, McIntosh swim beach, the hump on the little lake out from McIntosh swim beach and the inlet from the Ventura Marsh. Tip a small jig with a minnow or a piece of cut bait and bump it along the bottom. 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.

Quick start leads to West Fork rout of North Butler BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – West Fork wanted to get out to fast against North Butler in its homecoming football game. It couldn’t have asked for a better start against a team that had just lost its starting quarterback and center in a makeup game four days’ previous. “Our goal the entire week was to start fast,” West Fork coach Eric Gabe said. “I know they (North Butler) are pretty beat up. I told our kids we were there last year. I’m really proud of our seniors and I’m really proud of our entire program and community and everything just coming together and playing for one another. “I’m really excited for all of those things. We haven’t changed from the Lake Mills loss...we’ve just believed Cole Hall carries the ball for what turned out to be a 31-yard touchdown run to give West Fork a 38-0 lead in in each other and kept playing and the second quarter of the Warhawks’ win.
