Parish discusses new build An architect has been hired to design the new center BY ZACH CLEMENS Sacred Heart Parish in Rockwell had a congregational meeting on October 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.

Rockwell City Council discusses drainage issues BY ZACH CLEMENS

IN THIS ISSUE OPINION ..........................3 PUBLIC NOTICES ......... 4-5 CLASSIFIEDS ....................5 SPORTS ............................8

The Rockwell City Council had their regular meeting on October 5 and here are the highlights according to the unapproved minutes. Mayor James Bills stated that the price for the new overhead door for the EMS building was less than the estimate. The installation by Mike Hansen Carpentry donated the labor for the project, to which the Council was thankful for the nice gesture. Mayor Bills asked the Council to fill out a risk assessment form for Cerro Gordo County. This information will be turned into Steve O’Neil to be used in the countywide hazard mitigation plan.

Rockwell residents Dan Dahley and Becky Weydert discussed continued drainage issues with their properties. A neighbor of Dahley and Weydert’s has built up their property a number of years ago and it has become a concern that this is blocking the water flow. In 2009 the property owner did install a 15-inch tube, which all members of the Council felt that would handle the water f low, but with recent heavy rains the issue has become a problem again. The Council felt the property owner should be invited to the next meeting and be included in the discussions to figure out a plan to fix the issues. Public Works Director Jay Sief-

ken stated that they still could not find the water leak on Oak St. They did find another leak to the north of where they had been digging, and will fix this in the next few days. Sief ken also stated that he had not gotten an estimate for the water tower to be painted as he figured it would not happen till spring, when he was asked about it by Councilman Koob. The company who will be painting the water tower will also be the same company to winterize the Rockwell Aquatic Center, and that should be completed soon. The next Rockwell City Council meeting will be on Wednesday, Oct. 19.

West Fork student receives citizens award BY ZACH CLEMENS

A West Fork senior has earned the Outstanding Citizens Award for his actions in the aftermath of the recent f looding Sheffield has received. Police Chief Sam Cain presented Josh Stevens, a senior at West Fork, the award after Stevens found a dangerously low power line during the track athlete’s morning run around Sheffield. It was a Mediacom cable line that was out on 7th and Thompson. Cain said he got a knock at his home at six in the morning, with Stevens there to tell him of the danger. “[The power line] was right on Main Street, and it was so low

I could have grabbed it with my hand,” Stevens said. “I saw these cars going by and I figured a tractor or semi coming by is going to take it down and cause a lot of damage.” So with Stevens early alert, the police were able to redirect traffic, and Mediacom repaired it within an hour without any damage caused. Stevens stepping up is why Cain is commending him. “It’s a unique situation and he felt the need to come tell me that and I really appreciate it,” Cain said. Stevens received a framed certificate for the Outstanding Citizens Award for going above and beyond as a citizen. “I was just looking out for the benefit of the town,” Stevens said.

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 vicepresident 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

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer 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 make 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

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

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.

Vikings, Cowboy rookies shine The Minnesota Vikings just might be the best team in football after week 5 of the NFL season. The Purple People Eaters have a ferocious defense, a solid ground game and a quarterback who doesn’t make a mistake. Yes that’s right, Sam Bradford has been mistake free since he came to Minnesota for a first round draft pick, a pick many sports pundits—including yours truly—said was way too high for the former first overall selection. Bradford finished the day with 255 yards through the air and 2 touchdowns and zero interceptions. The game was really about the defense, and how they terrorized Brock Osweiler for 60 minutes, sacking him four times and hitting him 14. Osweiler finished with a 45 percent completion percentage with a measly 155 yards passing, one interception and a touchdown, much of it in garbage time when the game was already over. Minnesota remained the only undefeated team in the league, with Denver and Philadelphia going down this week. Do you think the Texans are having a bit of buyer’s remorse? After giving Brock Osweiler $72 million in the offseason to be their franchise quarterback, he sure hasn’t played like one. His completion percentage is under 60 percent and

PIGSKIN PONDERING:: Zach Clemens he has thrown 7 interceptions in five games, as opposed to just 6 touchdowns. He has looked pedestrian at best, and pretty awful at worst. With J.J. Watt out for the year, Brock will have to step up his play and his leadership or Houston will be far from making the playoffs this year. Tom Brady made his triumphant return to the field on Sunday, and all his fantasy owners rejoiced. His return only saw him blow out the Browns on his way to three touchdown passes and over 400 yards passing. I’m guessing that Brady will continue his tear through the league, and has put every team left on New England’s schedule on notice. While presidential candidate Donald Trump was busying telling Hillary Clinton he was going to put her in jail if he wins the election, the Green Bay Packers beat the Giants on way to a 3-1 record. There will be a showdown at Lambeau Field in week 16 for the NFC North between Green Bay and Minnesota.

The Dallas Cowboys and their rookies just keep impressing. Jerry Jones’ team was all but left for dead after Tony Romo got hurt at the beginning of preseason, yet they find themselves at 4-1, with the league leader in rushing yards with Ezekiel Elliot. Elliot, who has five touchdowns in five games, and Dak Prescott who is completing 69 percent of his passes and has thrown zero interceptions have led the Cowboys to the top of the NFC East. Prescott is now just eight passes away from breaking Tom Brady’s record for most pass attempts to start a career without an interception. Even with Prescott’s stellar play, all signs point to Tony Romo resuming his starting role in the next few weeks.

ed. Mayor Bills stated that the billing for Overhead door for the EMT building is as estimated, and on the installation Mike Hansen Carpentry donated back on their labor for the project, the billing was less than the estimate. Council felt that was very nice of them and thanked them for doing so. Motion to approve the bills was seconded by Koob, carried unanimously. September Receipts: General $27866.25; Road Use $13399.44; Water Utility $8928.46; Sewer Utility $5366.85; Local Option $14425.18; Debt Service $7586.24. Mayor Bills stated that on September 26th Governor Branstad added Cerro Gordo County to the proclamation for disaster in Iowa following the rains and flooding. This allows for residents to seek grant funding from the State. Mayor Bills noted the risk assessment form for Cerro Gordo County, and asked that the Council members each fill this out to return at the next meeting. The information will be turned into Steve O’Neil to be used in the County wide hazard mitigation plan. Dan Dahley was present to talk to the Council about the drainage issues that have been previously discussed. Dahley had researched the minutes from when this was brought to the council in 2009 as a concern of the property owner blocking the flow of water. The property owner did install a fifteen inch tube at that time, which all felt that this would handle the water, with the recent heavy rains the issue has raised again. With discussion, Council felt the property owner should be invited to the next meeting, to be included in the discussions and figure out a plan to rectify the problem. Council asked for the City Attorney to attend the next meeting along with the property owners on the West side of First Street, as their property may need to be dug into to help with the flow of water. Koob noted the culvert at the entrance by the football field looks good. Worley noted that the guys did a great job there and it should help. Brown asked Siefken about the leak they have been working with on Oak Street. Siefken reported that Westrum came up today to try and locate the leak, and still were not able to find a leak. Siefken stated there is a two inch main to the North of where they have been digging with a leak; they will be doing more in the next few days to find and fix this. Koob asked if Siefken had an estimate from the water tower paint company as the estimate from ACCO was given. Siefken noted he did not as he felt it wouldn’t be done until spring. Wentz asked if the tree trimming work was finished. Siefken stated that it is not as they have been working on other projects. Hensley asked the Council for some clarification on wage increase following his certification. Hensley noted he is approved to take his water treatment test, and will be getting a date set for this, but noted these are pretty intense test and wanted to be on the same page with the Council, that he will be compensated for the certification after the time he has to put in to study. Council was uncertain at how it was stated to allow for a wage increase with certification, and would like to review previous procedures. Mayor Bills asked what is on the work schedule for the next two weeks. Mayor Bills noted the rut along B60 that should have been taken care of. Worley asked if we had any millings to put in there. Hensley noted that we do not, and was kind of waiting for street work to have some for this as the rains keep washing the rock out. Siefken asked about cementing this to allow for the water to run without washing out the rock. Mayor Bills felt it should be rocked now. Siefken stated they have this water leak to fix, flushing mains, read meters, lagoon draw down, replace water service and whatever else may come up. Hensley noted that they need to finish the winterizing at the pool bath house. Koob stated that ACCO should be coming to winterize the pool. Chief Whitney noted it is Homecoming week and will be at the parade and available at the game and dance. Chief Whitney stated he had forwarded the nuisance pictures to Wentz. Wentz will forward them to Weier to get to the City Attorney. With no further business, Wentz moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Brown, carried unanimously.

ooler temperatures, beautiful changing leaves and the familiar scent of pumpkin pie spice are all signs of fall. Whether you’re hosting a pumpkin carving party or decorating sweet treats with family, celebrate the season with maple-flavored leaf-shaped cookies, pumpkin patch cupcakes and hot apple cider. “The crisp air seems to inspire us all to start baking again,� said McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter. “Create an autumn frosting palate with our new Color from Nature Food Colors, which are made from ingredients such as beets and turmeric. You can combine the trio of starter colors – berry, sunflower and sky blue – to make everything from a maroon glaze for an Autumn Leaf Cookie to orange frosting for a Pumpkin Patch Cupcake.� The Color from Nature Food Colors can be used in icing, beverages and other no-bake recipes for best results. For more tips and recipes for the fall and Halloween season, visit McCormick.com or look for McCormick Spice on Pinterest and Facebook.

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 in each other and kept playing and kept coming to practice and playing hard even when we were 0-5.” The Warhawks scored on five of their seven first-half possessions on their way to a 38-0 halftime lead that ended in a 52-2 final on Friday, Oct. 7. Running back Cole Hall and quarterback Jarel Arbegast each rushed for more than 100 yards with Hall reaching the end zone three times and Arbegast twice in the Warhawk win. Each time North Butler had the ball, it seemed to lose yardage, helping give West Fork excellent field position along the way. In fact, the Bearcats were negative-8 yards rushing and finished with 24 total yards of offense with 32 passing yards. “I don’t think they’re a 50-point better team than us, plain and simple,” North Butler coach Travis Miller said. “I don’t think our guys played to our potential tonight whether we are missing a couple of guys or not. We just didn’t play as a team, and unfortunately, that lets this happen. I think our guys are much better than that. We clean stuff up and hope we play better next week.” Now that the Warhawks are 2-5

and made a strong showing against topranked St. Ansgar, Gabe said his team is more confident. “I don’t think you can win a football game without having confidence and without going out there and believing in yourself and that you have a chance to win the game when you walk onto the field,” Gabe said, “and I feel like over the Cole Hall carries the ball for what turned out to be a last few games 31-yard touchdown run to give West Fork a 38-0 lead where we kind of in the second quarter of the Warhawks’ win over North went out onto the Butler.

They’re really little bit,” Gabe said, “but they’re a taking control and taking charge and dangerous team with that Bushbaum we’re playing good football right kid at quarterback and a receiver with 200-some yards or whatever, now.” Not only was the ground game they can throw it around and it’s gogoing for West Fork, it also got a ing to be a track meet.
