BY KRISTI NIXON NKENY – No one has to feel left out this year. Both West Fork girls’ and boys’ cross country teams made school history by each qualifying for the Class 1A state cross country meet by finishing third in the Warhawks’ respective state qualifying races on Thursday, Oct. 20. Never before had each team made the trip together as they both head to Fort Dodge on Saturday, Oct. 29. “It was…one year, our boys went and

Both making it — this is incredible. They are creating their own legacy. A lot of these kids weren’t on any of the other ’13, ’14, and ’15 teams. I’m totally elated.

— MARK TWEDT, WF Head Coach our girls got fourth and last year, our girls went and our boys were fourth,” West Fork coach Mark Twedt said. “For me, that is the most important thing. It is a testament to the kids: they’ve answered the challenge.”

For senior Josh Stevens, who not only qualified with the team, he crossed the finish line in 15th to qualify as an individual, it is redemption. He suffered an injury while running last year as the boys’ team just missed.

West Fork prepares for the worst

“You know, it feels really good, especially coming off of last year, with my rib injury and I couldn’t qualify,” Stevens said. “Coming back really strong and even bringing the team with us it’s just really fun, and we made history bringing boys and girls down to the state (together) for the same time.” Clearly suffering more than half-way through last year’s race, Stevens looked strong throughout this state qualifying meet.

BY ZACH CLEMENS As West Fork students had the day off, the district faculty was busy preparing for the rest of the year, as well as planning for the worst possible scenario. Police officers Rick Busch and Tim Felton from Eagle Ridge Tactical Consulting visited West Fork on

Monday to have a half day training session with all the faculty to prepare them for a possible situation with a violent intruder. It was a sobering reality for staff when Felton asked for a show of hands if they thought one of their students could potentially become violent, and the majority of staff put their hands up. “I don’t want to get political but we don’t really have a gun problem,” Busch said. “We have a mental health problem in this country that [no one] wants to take care of.” See WF TRAINING: Page 4

Over half a century of service Harold’s Garage to close doors after 68 years of business BY ZACH CLEMENS In 1948, just three years after World War II ended, Harold Haugen started a repair shop in Rockwell, Harold’s Garage, and 68 years later, his son Gary is closing it’s doors. Harold came to Rockwell to work for a Kaiser and Frazer car dealership as a mechanic. After working there for a couple years, and after the car dealership went out of business, Harold opened up his own garage, buying a lot and building his shop on 3rd St. in 1953. “He poured and laid the cement floor in here himself, and there’s not a crack in it to this day,” said Gary Haugen. “It was quite a

job, but that’s the way he did things.” Gary grew up around the shop, becoming partners with his father during the ‘70s. Gary remembers about a decade ago, when Harold was 85 years old, they were overhauling a 1940 Dodge car. Harold got underneath the car and picked up the cast iron transmission and put it in the bell housing with no help. “He was a tough old guy, that was the last car we ever overhauled together,” Gary said. It wasn’t just cars the Haugen’s worked on throughout the years. See HAROLD’S GARAGE: Page 16

NOVEMBER 1, 1956 Four hundred youths of Sheffield and the surrounding area had an enjoyable time at the Halloween party staged Tuesday night by civic and social organizations of the town. Several individuals also joined in making the event a night of fun for the boys and girls from preschool age through high school. There were 300 youngsters in attendance at the Grand Theatre free show which followed the parade along Gilman street from the Memorial Hall and then back to the theatre. Candy bar treats were given to each of the theatre group. The high school age group gathered around a huge bonfire north of the elementary

building at 7:30 p.m., snake danced, sang, yelled and started for the business district. The Volunteer Fire department was on hand at the fire to keep it under control and remained at the fire until the materials were consumed. The youths paraded the business district in a rollicking manner and then went to the Memorial hall where dancing was held, with approximately 100 taking part. The Sheffield Business men’s club amplifying system was used with recordings of varied time and tempo for music. Tickets for treats of pop and popcorn were received by those taking a Halloween suspense-filled walk. Cooperation in making the party possible were clubs and civic

the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hans Bertilson in Thornton. NOVEMBER 3, 1966 A sharp chilling wind was blowing out of the northwest Friday night when the Sheffield-Chapin Spartans kicked off to the Meservey-Thornton Lancers. An exceptionally fine game by the Spartan defensive team gained possession of the ball. Offensively there appeared to be no stopping the Spartans who held to the ground. Bob Weber early in the first quarter cut loose with one of his three touchdowns. Again Lancers could not hold the ball and Steve Groesbeck plowed through for six points. Steve Norman made the extra point kick good and the quarter ended 13-0 Spartans. The second quarter was again all Spartans as David Woodley, Bob Weber and Bob Shreckengost scored touchdowns on runs up the middle. Conversion points were hard to get as kicks went wild in the wind. The half ended 31-0 Spartans. Coach Loynachan put reserve players into action early in the second half. End Jeff Yelland pulled in a long pass from Woodley and galloped across the goal line for one of the open spectacular plays of the night. The point try was missed. Weber scored his third TD of the contest on an end sweep. Norman kicked the extra point for a 44-0 scoreboard reading. On the kickoff Ken Pals pulled in the ball and on a delayed action run out maneuvered the Spartans to score a touchdown. The try for point failed and the third quarter ended 44-6 Spartans. Bob Crooks scored a touchdown for the Spartans in the fourth quarter, with Norman kicking the ball for the extra point and a 51-6 advantage. Ken Pals threw some long passes in a desperate effort to score but the ball could not be held by the receivers. The Lancers scored again on an end run, with the extra point try failing for a final 51-12 Spartan win. During the fourth quarter the seniors of the Spartan squad were given singular recognition as they left the game, their last contest on the gridiron for Sheffield-Chapin. There were 12 seniors on the squad this fall. This leaves a nucleus of 23 game experienced players on which to build the team next fall. Bill Gust, a resident of Sheffield for over 52 years, is going home. Bill, one of the sturdy and proud group of men who came to Sheffield from Greece many years ago, was employed at the Sheffield Brick & Tile from 1914 until he retired in recent years. He has continued to reside in the same house near the B & T plant, that served as a home for these men. Bill is now in his declining years and wants to go home where he can be with his son and three grandchildren. A group of local people are financing his trip back to Greece. Anyone wishing to be a part of this worthy endeavor can leave their contribution with Marshal E. S. Schrupp, Lester Emhoff or Dr. John H. Atkinson. Arrangements have been made for Bill Gust to leave the States on Nov. 19. Mrs. Dean Esslinger and daughter, Deeann, and Mrs. Milo Rodemeyer and daughter, Joan, spent the week end at Iowa City. The attended the football game and were also visitors with David Rodemeyer, a student at the University of Iowa. Emma Timmerman and Mrs. C. L. Kammeier were Sunday afternoon visitors with Mrs. Edna Schreiber, who is now recuperating from pneumonia in the home of her daughter, Mr. and Mrs. James Schroeder and family at Greene. Mrs. Schreiber is improving and is able to be up and around the house. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Moore and family of Worthington, Minn., were Sunday dinner and afternoon guests in the home of his mother, Mrs. Anna Moore. OCTOBER 30, 1986 The S-C/M-T Spartans finished their regular season a week early and undefeated Friday night with a 13-0 defeat of Kanawha/Boone Valley. The early end of the season comes because the win assures the Spartans of a state playoff berth, which means the non-conference game scheduled with Rockwell-Swaledale next Friday has been cancelled. The win also gave the Spartans solitary

possession of the North Star Conference Championship for the first time since 1980. The game started with tons of bad luck on the Spartan sideline as they moved the ball successfully against the Bulldogs but were called back for clipping twice and threw one interception in the first quarter. On the Spartans third play from scrimmage Steve Meints connected with Troy Terry for a 32 yard gain, inside the Bulldog 20 yard line. The Spartans failed to get into the endzone on this possession due to an interception. The defense did not allow a first down and the ball was again in good field position for the Spartans but two clipping penalties called back 56 yards of passing to end that drive. That was all the Bulldog defense would allow for the first half as the Spartans lost their good field position due to a fumbled punt reception and could not throw because the K/BV defense successfully put pressure on quarterback Meints. To start the second half the Spartans re-established their running game with a 19 yard burst by Kelly Etnier behind blocks by Keith Nicolet and Troy Terry on the left side. Two plays layer Meints connected with Jeff Rabey for a six yard touchdown. The extra point was no good and the Spartans led 6-0 for most of third and fourth quarters. Late in the third quarter, with a fourth and three from the K/BV 40 yard line, a Matt Brinkman pass on a fake punt was tipped up in the air and intercepted by K/BV’s Mark Weber. With momentum on their side, the Bulldogs started a drive that would see them get into the S-C/M-T 15 yard line. At this point the Spartan fans rose to the occasion and enthusiastically willed the defense to deny any further yardage. The defense, aroused by the support, made three great plays and got the ball back on fourth down. The Spartan offense went to work on the clock, gained two first downs, exchanged punts and added an insurance touchdown with only 2:30 left to play. A 25 yard screen pass from Meints to Dave Heimer accounted for the score. Statistically Kelly Etnier rushed 11 times for 79 yards, most of it coming in the second half. Mike Schilling ran four times for 23 yards and Jeff Rabey added 19 yards on four carries. Steve Meints had another outstanding night passing with 8 of 13 for 120 yards. Defensively the Spartans racked up six sacks for a total of 34 yards in losses and allowed only 79 total yards for the Kanawha/Boone Valley offense. Sheffield-Chapin Community School District has hired Mr. Clifford G. Cameron as Superintendent of Schools starting Dec. 1, 1986. Mr. Cameron will be coming to Sheffield from Dayton Community Schools, Dayton, Iowa, where he served as Superintendent/Elementary Principal since 1984. Prior to his stay at Dayton, Mr. Cameron held a similar position at East Monona Community Schools located at Moorhead, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. James F. Atkinson and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Brouwer joined their daughters, Lisa and Cindy, for the football game on Saturday, Oct. 25, at UNI at Cedar Falls, in conjunction with Parents Week End. House guests of Miss Imogene Gamm this past week were: Archie Gamm of Ann Arbor, Mich., from Wednesday until Sunday morning, Oct. 22-26; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Sweeney, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gamm of Cedar Rapids, from Friday until Sunday, Oct. 24-26. OCTOBER 31, 1996 Matt Hartwig’s one-yard touchdown run provided enough margin as the S-C/M-T Spartans defeated Ventura 7-2 in a game dominated by both teams’ defenses. In the Spartans final home game of the season, S-C/M-T limited a Ventura team, which had scored 50 points one week earlier, to 122 yards rushing and minus 3 yards passing. S-C/M-T rushed for 135 yards and passed for 66. Hartwig’s score came in the third quarter following a pass interference call against Ventura which gave the Spartans a first down on Ventura’s 28-yard line. Hartwig then hit Adam Nelson on a 25-yard pass, Nathan Leininger carried the ball to the one and on the next play Hartwig crossed the goal. Mike Donnenwerth kicked the PAT. Ventura picked up two points when Hartwig ran out of bounds through the end zone on fourth down as the final gun sounded. Hartwig completed six passes for 66 yards, Nelson caught 2 for 32 yards, Taylor grabbed 2 for 22 yards and Curt Cameron caught 2 for 12 yards. Leininger picked up 58 yards rushing on 14 carries and Cory Lambertson ran 9 times for 36 yards. Lambertson led the Spartans in tackles with 11 initial stops and 9 assists. Lucas Millage had 5 and 12 while Hartwig added 5 initials and 1 assist. Leininger and Kyle Johnson each recovered Ventura fumbles. The S-C/M-T Spartan volleyball team opened District volleyball action by rallying from a 2 games to 1 deficit to defeat Allison-Bristow 3 games to 2. The scores were 16-14, 4-15, 7-15, 15-10, and 15-3. Leading the way for the Spartans were: Jamie Blood and Stacie Peter all serving 100%, Shaw led the team in kills with 9, followed by Brooke Langlitz and April Campbell each with 3,and Angie Campbell and Blood each with 2. Shaw and Langlitz were 1-2 in blocking with Shaw rejecting 10 Trojan shots and Langlitz blocking 7. April Campbell recorded 5 blocks, and Lisa Pals had 2. Mindy Eisentrager had a team high 7 assists and Pals followed with 5. Top diggers were Shaw with 6, April Campbell 5, Tara Kelley and Marissa Foell each with 4, Waddingham 3 and Pals 2. The win over A-B pitted the Spartans against conference cham-

Phone calls, coming in and going out, and doing what has been asked of me, have taken up most of the morning.

I thought about having a hammer real close to my desk when that happens...but that would not be a good idea! Unplugging it from the wall and depositing it in the street is another bad idea! Learning how to deal with it is the only answer. And that takes patience...which I have been short of most of my life!

Printed the largest job I have ever printed in my time here at The Press. Not largest in numbers...but largest in size. I had to make things on the side of the press to hold the paper in place while it was being printed. I had tried this before...but on a smaller sized paper. That worked...so I figured this would too. And it did! I told those in control that it is just because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good! They were still laughing when I exited the building. I could have told them Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m perfect... but even I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that! Home...I finally got the complete house cleaned! For the last year I had been doing a couple of rooms at a time...and by the time I got the last one finished...it was time to start over again! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the way I started out after Lidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing... but now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting on in years... and things just seem to take longer! Seem, heck! They do!

Once again...father time is catching up with me! Catching up, balony! He done caught up! Once again itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put the two old cars and the motorcycle away for the winter. Rode the motorcycle to Mason City one time this summer; had the convertible out for the People in the Park Parade; and had the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;47 coupe out of storage just to get it dusted off. Makes me wonder just how intelligent I am! Or ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t! I usually make the trip on the bike to Des Moines three or four times a year. But...I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too cold, or raining...or just about any other excuse I can think of! The old cars always need a good clean put on them after a trip. But when they stay in the garage they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need that; just dusting! Once again...father time is catching up with me! Catching up, balony! He done caught up! We did go to Altoona Saturday. The little one is growing up way too fast. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be seven years old the first part of November. She has no front teeth...so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing sweet corn season is over! I asked her what she would like for her birthday. A shorter list would be what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t she want! Anyway...we had a good time. Headed back north after a stop at an antique shop. And depositing a dollar or two at a Bingo hall. Actually... for a change...we did win a dollar or two. And wrote it on the calendar! Sunday was when I finished the housecleaning, and myself, and headed up to the office for a couple of hours. Finished those large sized bags, and wrote a couple of things that had to go in the paper. And the week end comes to a close. Monday the mind goes back to work mode... and hoping that all will work out fine again. Which it usually does...except for the computer. And I keep getting lucky enough to make that work, too! May that continue! Be good, Kids! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showtime!

To the editor, This election season has produced divisiveness and frustration for the American electorate. The two major political parties have given us presidential candidates who are rife with corruption, immorality and bigotry and told us that we have no choice but to vote for one of them. This is a lie. I would like to introduce you to Evan McMullin and Mindy Finn. Evan and Mindy joined the race for the presidency of the United States later then usual. They have not been allowed to debate and have received little publicity. Most American voters are still unfamiliar with them. Let me tell you about them. Evan was born in Utah and raised in Washington. He is a former CIA operative, Goldman-Sachs investment banker, and chief policy adviser for the House Republicans. Evan understands foreign policy, national security, the economy, and a range of other issues. He is pro-life, anti-gun control, and believes that power should be removed from Washington D. C. and returned to the states. Mindy Finn is his choice for Vice-President. She is married, the mother of two, and runs Empowering Women, a nonprofit organization that looks to empower women throughout the country. Mindy has worked for senior Republican leaders, in the technology industry, and as a journalist. Together, Evan and Mindy have the knowledge and ability necessary to head our country in a new direction. I refuse to allow the two major political parties to tell me that I have no choice. I will not be intimidated because I refuse to conform to their will. I will vote my conscience this election season. I will vote for honor and morality. My integrity is at stake. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to do the right thing. I stand with Evan and Mindy. Please join me. Trudy Fuhriman Gunder, Iowa

My intro to the game we so religiously play. My life has not been quite the same since I chose to play this stupid gameâ&#x20AC;Ś.it rules my mind for hours on end a fortune it has made me spend. Okay also did you know the average golfer loses two golf balls per round thus 2,465,752 balls are lost every day. Okay to the battle at hand as the talented versus the not so talented or better yet the non talented versus the non talented. My team of Dennis the Menace Foss, Billy Cubs Nolte and TomTom Thomas Severe and yours truly captured the jewel crown for the day with a torrid 68. What led to this massive destruction of the foe was a real team effort. Old Denny Boy Foss right in there plunked his tee shot on hole six about five feet from the pin both rounds and canned the putt for two birdies. Old Wild Willy Nolte unsheathed his golden putter and wow did he putt the eyes out. He hit one so hard but it was dead center, hit the back of the cup jumped up in the air about five feet and kerplunk right back into zee hole for yet another birdie. Tommy zee man Severe was extremely severe on some of his into the orbit drives carrying miles, well countless yards at least. We each won a pair of alligator shoes, BUT we have to catch one first. The second place team and winners of naught was Darryl young un Peter, Dallas old un Slagle, Dean real old un Peter and middle old un Bobby baby Shreckengost. They scratched and clawed to a 70 but earned nothing for their ultimate effort. Well they told me it was ultimate anyway, so there how can I

not have a bleeding heart for them. The third place team and big time winners was the team of Dennis 66 Phillips, David old 66 Levitt, Rog old bell ringer Madsen and Duane six gun Payne. They fired 71 big massive rounds of ammo into the famed target that little 4Âź inch cup and each won a pound of limburger cheese to be shared with the rest of the troops. Appearing out of nowhere and dead last sorta like Beattle Bomb was the team of Cliff soup Cameron, Kim Rev Wills, Frank dribbles Schnoes and Jimmy plumber boy Saylor with a horrid 72. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good score if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing basketball which we AINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T!! This truly is quite a cabal folks, unnamed, unfamed and unreal! I hear the tea pot whistling, the dog howling, the cat scratching and me better half shouting out one more honey do. So I best be a good husband, adhere to her very wants and just say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes honey.â&#x20AC;? You know I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spoken to her in days, I hate to interrupt her. Well DeanO Peter told me it is easy rolling out of bed in the morning; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting up off the floor that is another story. Bazinga spit this at me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;With miles of grass on which to land, my ball always finds a tiny patch of sand to land.â&#x20AC;? Denny 66 Phillips told me he can endure pain until it hurts. Darryl Peter asked me if I knew what you call a boomerang that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back to you. That was easyâ&#x20AC;Śitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a stick, wow took his joke away from him. Remember we are given life it is up to use whether we make it good or bad. Until next week, stay warm stay cool but at least stay!

Ronald Rand was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of murder in the first degree. TRAVIS FISCHER PHOTO

Rand sentenced to life in prison BY TRAVIS FISCHER Sentencing was held for former Hampton resident Ronald Rand on Monday, Oct. 24, concluding a 10 month legal process. Rand, 61, was found guilty of murder in the first degree in the 2015 death of his girlfriend, Michelle Key, 51, Waterloo. Since his arrest he has been held in the Cerro Gordo County Law Enforcement Complex. The charge of first degree murder comes with a mandatory life sentence and $150,000 in restitution to the victim’s family. Rand’s attorney, State Public Defender Susan Flander, requested that Rand’s attorney fees be waived. “Given the nature of this sentence, I don’t think Ron should pay any attorney fees,” said Flander. “What he has should go towards restitution.” Rand himself expressed grief over his actions but maintained that he is innocent of pre-meditated murder. “I’m very sorry what happened. I hope the parents and family can get a little closure out of this,” said Rand. “It was just a tragic accident.” Rand intends to file an appeal for his sentencing within 30 days.

BY ZACH CLEMENS A Meservey man was arrested last week for allegedly kidnapping his girlfriend and beating her for over half a day. According to cour t records, during the evening of Oct. 7, Franklin County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from a woman at the Sheffield Dollar General stating she had been kidnapped and beaten by her 41 - y e a r - o l d l ive -i n b oyfriend and Meservey resident, Charles Raymond Albright. Albright Thirty-sixyear-old Kimberly Hartman told police she was held against her will in Meservey for approximately 12-14 hours by Albright. During that time Albright allegedly beat and tortured Hartman by hitting her head against the floor, repeatedly hitting, punching and stomping her face, stomach, arms and back area, cutting her with a knife, allowing his dog to repeatedly bite her and using a stun gun on her. Albright allegedly transported her to Sheffield, continuing to beat her in the vehicle. He then left the scene before police arrived. According to the criminal complaint filed by Sheffield Police Chief Sam Cain, who spoke with Hartman at Dollar General, she had severe swelling to her face and eyes, and severe bruising on her arms, legs and neck. At the hospital injuries revealed broken bones in her face and sinuses, burn marks from a stun gun and an eye injury that caused protracted vision loss. A search warrant was executed at Hartman and Albright’s residence at 201 Virginia Street in Meservey on Oct. 7, and an arrest warrant for Albright was obtained on Oct. 10. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) assisted with the investigation at the request of the Franklin County Attorney on Oct. 18. The next day investigators located and arrested Albright at 11446 Killdeer Avenue in rural Rockwell. Albright was taken into custody and charged with willful injury and first degree kidnapping. Albright is being held by the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department with no bond, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 28 in Franklin County. A charge of first degree kidnapping can carry a punishment of life in prison.

Donation to Harriman-Nielsen Farm a testament to immigration in Franklin County BY ETHAN STOETZER The Har riman-Nielsen Far m has become an iconic landmark of Hampton, and in Franklin County, for its place on the National Historic Registry, hosting of fall festivals and playing a part of many other community functions and gatherings. What most travelers along Highway 3, and visitors don’t notice about Harriman-Nielsen Farm is that it pays a silent homage to Franklin County’s history, and to the settlement of the state of Iowa. Patrons to the farm over the last several years might have nonchalantly noticed the arrival of buildings, subtle renovations and restorations, and might have taken for granted the state of the property just 12 years ago. Thanks to generous efforts totaling $320,000 on behalf of fourth generation, Franklin County resident Michael Jorgensen, the farm has been completely transformed and is preserved for the long haul. The gift total includes: five buildings from the Jorgensen Homestead (machine shed, chicken coop, single car garage, milk/wash house and corn crib), the transporting of the buildings to the farm, the rehabilitations of the buildings, the white picket fence around the property and a maintenance fund that will allow the Harriman-Nielsen farm board to make the needed maintenance payments, yearly. “I’m kind of a sentimental guy,” Jorgensen said. “My grandparents used them, my parents used them, I used them and my kids used them; I have a lot of memories of them and it represents a shared heritage.” The heritage that Jorgensen referred to is that of the Danish. The Neilsens and Jorgensens were friends of the same culture, who gathered over customs and faith, at

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. A rou nd the year 2011, Jorgensen’s cousin, Jim Jorgensen, approached him and mentioned in passing that the buildings on his homestead would look good at the Harriman-Nielsen farm. At the time, Jorgensen said that the farm could just take them for free. Jorgensen’s cousin said that the Franklin County Historical Society didn’t have the money to move the buildings and pay to rehabilitate them. Jorgensen then committed to moving the buildings to the property, building foundations and refurbishing them. While on the surface the gift is honoring a family friendship over four generations long, Jorgensen said that the gift is more of a cost to preserving history. The Nielsens and Jorgensens were Danish in heritage, originating from Denmark, like many others who settled the Iowa territory back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In the mid-1800s, Denmark experienced a population boom, leaving little opportunity for those between 19-25 years of age to own land and farm. Coupled with the war between Germany in 1864, which saw Slesvig-Holsten, a territory of Denmark, be taken over by the Germans, many Danish people were looking for work opportunity and immigrated to America. The Holmstead Act of 1862 offered immigrants with intent to be naturalized 160 acres of land, with citizenship granted in five years. This offer granted young Danish males the opportunity to work and start families in the Midwest. Southwest Iowa was largely settled by the Danish. See H-N FARM: Page 9

Meservey man charged with kidnapping

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Hampton Police Department, in conjunction with Franklin, Hardin, Wright and Hamilton County Sheriffs and the Iowa State Patrol, apprehended Martin Zaragoza in the early morning hours Saturday, who was wanted on two Franklin County warrants. At approximately 11:45 p.m. Friday night, a Hampton police officer attempted to stop a vehicle after it was observed traveling at “a highrate” of speed in the area of Olive Ave. and Highway 3. The officer activated his lights in an attempt to pull over the vehicle, and an active pursuit began, for 20 minutes, covering 26 miles. The vehicular pursuit ended in the 200 block of 80 street, after the vehicle in pursuit drove into a ditch. Zaragoza exited the vehicle and ran into a corn field. Iowa State Patrol was contacted for aerial assistance while officers and deputies established a perimeter. Two Hardin County deputies apprehended Zaragoza. Zaragoza was wanted on two Franklin County warrants, one for willful injury and another for criminal mischief in the fourth degree. Zaragoza was charged with possession with intent to deliver Methamphetamine, drug tax stamp violation, felony eluding, no insurance accident related, leaving the scene of an accident, driving while suspended, open container, five different speeding violations and five different stop sign violations. Zaragoza made a court appearance Saturday morning and was held on $35,000 cash bond.

WF TRAINING The two cops said that guns are not the only threat teachers should be worried about, as edge weapons are becoming more and more frequent in violent acts perpetrated at schools. “Its not just firearms that we are seeing in these attacks, knives are increasingly being used,” Busch said. According to Felton, the average school shooting is anywhere from three and a half to eight minutes. Police procedure now is to force their way into the building no matter what, but they might not get in there in time. The best way to combat violent acts is to prevent them from ever occurring. “You have to be a team,” Felton said. “You need to share information, we need to stop these things before they get started.” School shootings are not new to this country. The first recorded school shooting on this continent was on July 26, 1764, 12 years before the Declaration of Independence. The first in Iowa was 1873, just 27 years after Iowa was bestowed with statehood. Felton said that the main goal should be to survive.

“Survival is the main priority, you wont be able to help your kids if you are dead,” Felton said. Busch said that the school needs a crisis and response management plan to deal with every emergency, from earthquake and tornado drills, to an active shooter or bomb threats. Members of the community were critical of the West Fork Board of Education at the last meeting, with members of multiple town’s EMS, Fire Department, and Police wanted a definitive plan for emergencies. The two officers stated that lockdowns are good if there is a threat outside of the school, but if there is a gunman inside the walls, they need to get out as soon as possible. The faculty needs to look, listen and smell, for gunpowder and act accordingly. It is important to be mindful of students whom might not be the easiest to get along with are some of the most important. “The kids that drive us nuts, are the ones that need us the most,” Felton said. The faculty was then broken into two groups, where teachers learned specific tactics to deal with an attacker and how to act in an emergency situation.

Five Candidates on Nov. 8 Ballot for ISU Extension and Outreach County Council Voters have the opportunity to elect members of the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Franklin County Council from a slate of five candidates at the Nov. 8 general election. “The council members elected this year will be involved in bringing educational opportunities to Franklin County for the next four years,” said Donovan Olson, Regional Director for Region 3 in North Central Iowa. ISU Extension and Outreach educational programming is a cooperative effort involving local citizens, Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Extension councils are comprised of nine volunteer members who serve four-year terms. Council members are elected at large and all voters in the county are eligible to vote for five candidates. Five council positions will be on the ballot in 2016. Council members Merrill Ahrens, Kristin Borcherding, and Jamie Reinke will retire at the end of this year leaving three council positions open. A fourth council position was held by Mark Drier, who resigned to spend more time with his family. The fifth council position is currently held by Sarah DeBour of rural Latimer, who is running for re-election to another four-year term. Candidates for the four remaining open council positions include Joseph DeVries, rural Sheffield; Elizabeth Carr, Hampton; Mercedes Guerrero, Hampton and David Schoning, rural Sheffield. Extension Council members currently serving through 2018 include: Pam Meints, Sheffield; Carolyn Oleson, rural Latimer; David Pingel, rural Latimer and Gary Stenzel, rural Iowa Falls. Successful candidates will take office in January 2017. Extension council members make policy, programming and budget decisions for ISU Extension and Outreach in Franklin County. Elected council members and offices in every county uniquely position ISU Extension and Outreach to move the state forward. Last year more than 1 million people directly benefited from ISU Extension and Outreach programs. These programs help citizens solve critical issues affecting their lives. ISU Extension and Outreach and county extension councils together are building a strong Iowa. ISU Extension and Outreach has 100 field offices, providing local access to extension programs in all 99 counties.

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: Water temperature is around 57 degrees. The fish cleaning station at McIntosh is closed for the season. The bathrooms at Lynne Lorenson and the Ventura jetties are also closed. Boat ramps at McIntosh and Lynne Lorenson are still in as of Oct. 20, but will be coming out soon. 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. 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 McInstosh 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, fair. Some walleyes are being caught near the Ventura grade. Use jigs and a minnow or cut bait in many of the same areas that yellow bass are biting. Boat anglers may find walleyes near the Hy-Vee reef, the edge of the North Shore Reed bed, the island or Dodges point. Black crappie, fair. Anglers have caught some in the Baptist camp area out near ten contour. 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.

AAA identifies top challenges for teens learning to drive Parents don’t prepare their teens to drive as well as they did a decade ago. According to an AAA survey of 142 driving instructors across America, 65 percent said the decline in quality parental involvement has added to the challenges facing young drivers. They also reported that parents often set a bad example through their own behaviors. “With all the other challenges teens face learning to drive, it is critical for parents to re-engage in the process,” said Amy Stracke, Managing Director of Traffic Safety Advocacy for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Teens can’t succeed safely on the road unless those closest to them make proper training a priority and set a good example behind the wheel.” In the survey, Skills of Novice Teen Drivers, driving instructors also revealed the top three mistakes teens make when learning to drive: • Speeding - Traveling over posted speed limits or too fast for road conditions. • Distraction - Interacting with a cell phone, talking with passengers or looking at other objects in the vehicle. • Poor Visual Scanning - Driving with tunnel vision and not properly scanning the road for risks or haz-

Compound your interest “Whether you are investing for shorter or longer-term goals, it is important to take advantage of compounding,” said Brenda Schmitt, family finance specialist with ISU Extension. “Compounding is earning interest on interest. When the interest you make on an investment is reinvested or left on deposit, interest is then earned on the original principal plus the reinvested interest,” Schmitt explains. “Compounding also applies to reinvestment of dividends and capital gains on stock investments.” To maximize the effect compounding can have on wealth accumulation, it is important to start now. Even small amounts can grow significantly over time. “The earlier you put money into an investment, the more time the money has to compound and the more you can potentially accumulate,” Schmitt says. The RULE OF 72 is a simplified way to calculate how long an investment will take to double in value, given a fixed annual rate of interest. Divide 72 by the annual rate of return, to estimate

how many years it will take for the initial investment to double. For example, $5,000 invested at 10 percent will grow to $10,000 in 7.2 years. Time is on your side. The longer money compounds, the faster it will grow. Don’t let today’s low interest rates discourage you. It’s true that banks aren’t paying much on savings accounts. But many mutual funds average a higher return and have very low minimums and no sales charges. If you can’t apply a few dollars to savings, most debts (think home or credit cards) will allow you to add any amount to your payment. Credit cards and other open-ended accounts use compound interest against you. If you are making minimum payments, you are likely to stay in debt forever. “Most individuals don’t increase their net worth on wages alone. By investing wisely and taking advantage of the power of compounding you can better reach your long-term goals,” Schmitt concludes. Start investing today. Invest as much as you can. And keep adding to your investments consistently over a long period of time.

Free Start Smart Workshop to be offered The North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) Pappajohn Center and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is offering a free two-hour workshop designed for anyone who is considering starting a business. At Start Smart, participants will learn how to create a business plan, do market research, consider different types of business ownership, and learn how to register a business. Start Smart will be offered on Wednesday, Oct. 26 from 6-8 p.m., at the NIACC Pappajohn Center, Room #118, 500 College Dr., Mason City. The activities involved in starting a business fall under two broad categories—feasibility (the business plan) and administrative tasks. While we like to focus on the feasibility issue,

Start Smart provides information and the chance to ask questions on numerous other topics including: • Business registration • Doing customer research • How bankers evaluate business concepts and loans • Start-up costs • Business plan tips After attending Start Smart, Small Business Development Center staff will be available to assist you in reviewing your business plan, or to provide guidance with other issues. To register, contact Mary Spitz, SBDC office at NIACC at (641) 422-4342 or email her at mary.spitz@niacc.edu

ards. Past research shows that teens with parents who impose stricter driving limits reported fewer crashes and traffic violations. AAA recommends parents stay actively involved in coaching their teens through the learning-to-drive process by: • Having conversations early and often about the dangers of speeding and distraction • Taking the time to practice driving with their teens in varying conditions

• Adopting a Parent-Teen Driving Agreement that takes the learning to drive process in stages and sets family rules for the road • Setting a good example by minimizing distractions and speeding when driving AAA also recommends that teens preparing for the responsibility of driving should enroll in a driver education program that teaches how to avoid driver distraction and other safety skills.

‘Think Pink’ night to raise funds for Mercy – North Iowa to support breast health The North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) volleyball team will host its eighth annual ‘Think Pink’ night on Thursday, Oct. 27. NIACC will host the Waldorf junior varsity team at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 for the general public and free for cancer survivors. The ‘Think Pink’ match is an annual fundraising event to raise money for breast cancer awareness. All of the proceeds will be donated to Mercy-North Iowa and used for Breast Health, a department of Mercy Medical Center of North Iowa, to provide support, testing and other needed services to their patients. “This is a very exciting time of year for our volleyball program as we are in the heart of our season, but it is also the time we get to start thinking pink!” said Chris Brandt, head volleyball coach. “Our event provides a wonderful opportunity for our players to get involved in breast cancer awareness, education and at the same time provide an exciting volleyball match for the community. We are also eager to be playing another North Iowa team for the event and hope that playing Waldorf will spark additional interest in our fundraising efforts.” The community can support this cause in several ways: Attend the volleyball match; Donate; Purchase or participate in any of the activities the night of the event. Any remaining t-shirts or socks will be sold at the door of the match. The NIACC Nursing Department will be sponsoring the activities at the match to educate people on breast cancer and will sell pink-themed treats, such as cupcakes and cookies. “We are also very happy to remain a partner with Mercy–North Iowa so that our funds stay local and we can continue to help spread the message that mammograms save lives,” Brandt said. “Our mission is to raise awareness for breast cancer but it also serves as a way to get our young adults involved in the world and to find a larger purpose once they leave NIACC.” For more information, contact Chris Brandt, NIACC Volleyball Head Coach, at (641) 422-4373 or by email at Christine.Brandt@niacc.edu.

70 years of Philharmonic Music Club The Sheffield Philharmonic Music Club celebrated their 70th year as a club at their October meeting. It was in April of 1946, that Mrs. Max Bokmeyer, of Sheffield, invited a number of music lovers from Rockwell and Sheffield to meet at her home to discuss the possibilities of organizing a federated music club. The first regular meeting of the new Philharmonic Music Club was held that fall in the home of Elaine Andersen. Seventy years later, the club is still going strong with 26 members from Sheffield, Rockwell and Hampton who enjoy singing together and encourage music in the school and community. The Philharmonic supports various local charitable organizations and music projects and provides scholarships for young musicians from the West Fork School District who participate in college music programs. Special recognition was given to Doreen Dorenkamp who has been a member for 50 years, joining the club in November of 1966.

JUST THE ISSUES: THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE BY TRAVIS FISCHER Election Day is coming up quickly and while most have already made up their mind about which candidate they are voting for, there are still those out there undecided between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. In a campaign flush with scandals, insults, and larger than life personalities, the actual policies and platforms can get lost in the shuffle. And while either candidate will have a difficult time convincing Congress to pass all of their proposals, it is important to know where each stands on the issues that affect the lives of their hopeful constituents. • Taxes Currently, income tax in the United States is divided among seven brackets ranging from 10 percent for the lowest earners (less than $9,275 annually) to 39.6 percent for the highest (more than $415,050 annually.) The average Iowan falls into the 15 percent bracket, making between $9,275 and $37,650 annually. Clinton’s proposal for tax reform would leave these brackets as they are, however an additional bracket would be created, taxing annual income over $5 million at 43.6 percent. Clinton would also enact the “Buffett Rule,” which would establish a 30 percent minimum tax on people with adjusted gross income of over $1 million. In comparison, Trump would propose a tax reform plan that reduces the number of tax brackets from seven to three. Tax rates would start at 12 percent for individual income up to $37,500. Above that, income between $37,500 and $112,500 would be taxed at 25 percent, and income above $112,500 would be taxed at 33 percent. These brackets would be doubled for married-joint filers, with the Head of Household deduction eliminated completely. Trump would also increase the standard deduction from $6,300 to $15,000 per person. Deductions would be capped at $100,000. Under Clinton, the standard deduction would remain the same and deductions would be limited to a tax value of 28 percent, with the exception of charitable deductions. Regarding the estate tax, commonly known as the death tax, estates valued at more than $5.45 million currently pay a 40 percent tax on the remaining amount. Clinton would see the exemption returned to its 2009 amount of $3.5 million and increase the top rate on estates worth more than $500 million to 65 percent. Trump would see the estate tax removed entirely, however capital gains valued over $10 million would be subject to taxing. For businesses, Trump would lower the business tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent and eliminate the corporate alternative minimum tax. At the same time, Trump would eliminate the deduction for domestic production and other business related credits, save the research and development credit. Trump would also approve a 10 percent tax holiday to repatriate corporate profits held overseas. Clinton would leave the tax rate where it is, but quadruple the size of the startup deduction from $5,000 to $20,000 and expand the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits to small businesses, along with new tax credits for profit-sharing and apprenticeships. Clinton would also focus on closing tax shelters and loopholes that allow large businesses and the wealthy

to pay lower effective tax rates. In reports from The Tax Foundation, it is predicted that Clinton’s tax plan would result in a 2.6 percent reduction of growth in the GDP over the next ten years. Likewise, wage rate growth would be reduced by 2.1 percent and 697,000 jobs would be lost. At the same time, Clinton’s plan would increase government revenues by $1.4 trillion over 10 years, reducing the national debt by an estimated $1.6 trillion in that time. In a polar opposite, Trump’s plan is predicted to result in a 6.9-8.2 percent increase in GDP growth, a 5.4-6.3 percent increase in wage rate growth, and add 1.8-2.1 million jobs. However, it would also reduce government revenue by as much as $5.9 trillion, adding an estimated $7.2 trillion to the national debt. • Economy In matters of the economy, Clinton’s plan centers on a major investment in infrastructure to improve airports, public schools, transportation, and internet access across the country. Her $10 billion “Make it in America” plan would fund programs to support domestic manufacturing, crack down on foreign influences on the market, and provide incentives to keep jobs in the United States. Locally, Clinton proposes an expansion of Rural Business Investment Companies, establishing greater capital networks in rural areas for small businesses. Likewise, small town banks would be separated from the regulations and red tape meant to restrain billion dollar financial institutions. For farmers, Clinton would double the funding for the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development program and the Farmers Market Promotion Program. Expansion to the Local Food Promotion Program would also allow small producers to sell their product directly to schools, hospitals, and retailers. For energy, Clinton would launch a $60 billion Clean Energy Challenge, focusing on increasing advancements in renewable electricity. This plan also includes doubling loan guarantees for biofuel production and expanding access to E15, E85, and biodiesel blends. Trump’s policy largely centers on his tax cuts, but also includes eliminating regulations such as the Waters of the U.S. Rule and the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. On energy, Trump supports hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, and offshore oil drilling. Neither candidate says they will approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership and both would hold China accountable for its practices, such as dumping low quality steel into the market and the theft of American trade secrets. Trump would go further still in foreign trade relations, intending to renegotiate NAFTA under the threat of a complete withdrawal. Domestically, Trump would issue a moratorium on new regulations not approved by Congress or are found to be in the interest of public safety. • Family Care A major part of Trump’s campaign has been his proposal for reducing the economic burden on parents. Trump’s plan would adjust the current child care tax benefit. Currently childcare expenses up to $3,000 for a child or up to $6,000 for two or more children can qualify for a 35 percent tax credit. Trump’s plan increases the num-

ber of maximum qualifying children from two to four, up to the age of 13, and replaces the tax credit with an income tax deduction capped at the average cost of care in that state. In Iowa, the average cost of child care is roughly $9,000 per year. Assuming $9,000 is spent on child care, a family that earns up to $75,000 annually would receive a tax reduction of $1,080 per child. A fa m ily t hat ea r ns up to $225,000 annually would receive a tax reduction of $2,250 while a family that earns up to $500,000 annually would receive a reduction of $2,970. Fam ilies with i ncome over $500,000 would not be eligible for the tax deduction. Similarly, Tr ump’s proposal would allow families to file a $5,000 deduction on expenses centered on caring for elderly family members, reducing their taxes by $600, $1,250, or $1,650, depending on their tax bracket. For lower-income parents that already have no income tax liability, Trump’s plan would also provide an Earned Income Tax Credit boost of up to half of the payroll for the lower earning parent, up to an income limitation of $31,200. Trump’s plan would also give parents the option of opening a dependent care savings account, which would allow families to annually contribute up to $2,000 in a tax free account that can be drawn from to pay for higher education or other expenses. Low income families will receive 50 percent matching funds of up to $500 per year from the government. For child care itself, Trump recommends reducing daycare staffing regulations that lower the child-tostaff ratio, allowing daycares to reduce costs by hiring fewer staff. To encourage more businesses to provide child care, Trump would also propose an expansion to the 2001 legislation that gives businesses with on-site daycare facilities a 25 percent tax credit on expenditures and 10 percent of resource and referral costs, up to $150,000 per year. Trump would increase that cap and allow different companies to pool their resources to get more out of the tax credit. On maternity leave, Trump would allow new mothers to receive six weeks of unemployment insurance after having a baby. In comparison, Clinton’s plan

would require employers to give up to 12 weeks of leave to both parents and provide tax relief subsidies to parents that spend more than 10 percent of their income on child care. Clinton’s Respect and Increased Salaries for Early Childhood Educators (RAISE) initiative would fund state and community programs that increase pay for child care providers and early educators. Likewise, Clinton would propose doubling investments in Early Head Start programs and funding universal preschool for four-year-olds. For student parents, Clinton proposes scholarships of up to $1,500 per year to go towards child care costs and would see increased funding for campus-based child care centers. • Healthcare Like all Republican presidential candidates since 2012, Donald Trump’s healthcare reform policy begins with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, eliminating the health care exchanges, the personal mandate to purchase health insurance and penalty for those that don’t, and the regulations that prevent insurance companies from enacting life-time coverage limits and denying applicants based on pre-existing conditions. In its place, Trump would modify existing laws to allow the sale of health insurance across state lines, though insurance companies would still have to comply with state regulations. For consumers, Trump would allow individuals to deduct the cost of health insurance premiums from their taxes and establish tax-free Health Savings Accounts that can be used to save for major health expenses. To increase competition, both Trump and Clinton would allow imported drugs into the domestic market. Continuing the work started by President Obama, Clinton would expand the Affordable Care Act with the ultimate goal of offering a public-option insurance plan. To that end, Clinton supports and expansion of Medicaid that would allow people over 55 that aren’t normally eligible for Medicaid to buy into the program. To reduce the cost of prescription medication, Clinton would increase funding to the FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs to clear out the backlog of generics that have yet to be ap-

proved. Drug companies would also no longer be allowed to pay for arrangements that keep generic drugs off the market. Likewise, Clinton would eliminate corporate tax write-offs for consumer advertising for pharmaceutical companies. The increased tax revenue would then go towards investments in research and making a permanent R&D tax credit. On the consumer end of things, Clinton would require that health insurance plans cap out-of-pocket expenses for drugs at $250 per month. Outside of regular health care, Clinton also plans to implement a $10 billion initiative to combat drug and alcohol abuse, providing funds for prevention programs, treatment and recovery, and criminal justice reform that prioritizes treatment of non-violent drug offenders rather than incarceration. The plan also involves providing naloxone training to first responders, which can prevent a fatal opioid overdose. • Immigration Immigration reform has been central to the Trump campaign, with its cornerstone being the construction of a border wall spanning the Mexico/United States border. Trump has repeatedly assured supporters that Mexico will pay for the wall. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has made it clear he has no intention of paying for the construction of a wall, however Trump has a plan he believes will force Pena Nieto’s hand, starting with a proposed rule to rewrite wire transfer laws to require legal documentation of lawful presence before money can be sent outside of the United States, making it difficult for illegal immigrants to wire money back to their families. Trump would not implement this rule if Mexico agrees to pay for the wall. If that doesn’t work, Trump would propose import tariffs, increased visa fees, or outright cancelling visas until the wall is built. Along with the wall, Trump intends to hire 5,000 additional border patrol agents and expand the number of border patrol stations in the south. For illegal immigrants already in the country, Trump would reverse President Obama’s two executive actions that deferred action against illegal immigrants that were brought into the country as children and illegal immigrants that have children who are American citizens.

To enforce immigration laws, Trump intends to triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officers and create a Deportation Task Force to identify illegal aliens and detain them until they can be deported. Sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal authorities in tracking and detaining illegal immigrants would be cut off from federal funding. For those that do enter the country legally, a biometric tracking system would be implemented to ensure that visitors do not overstay their visa, which is the leading source of illegal immigration. In contrast, Clinton’s immigration reform plan centers on a pathway to full citizenship. She would continue to suppor t President Obama’s executive actions, allow families regardless of status to buy into the Affordable Care Act exchanges, and focus deportment on illegal immigrants that are a threat to public safety. For immigrants already in the country, Clinton would create the Office of Immigrant Affairs, with $15 million in funding for naturalization programs such as adult English learning and citizenship education. • Military In matters of the military, both Clinton and Trump support ending the sequester on defense spending. Trump proposes increases in recruitment and military spending to build up to 35 Marine Corp battalions, 350 naval ships and submarines, and 1,200 aircraft fighters, along with updates to missile defense and cyber warfare. Clinton’s platform also involves strengthening the military, encouraging recruitment with compensation and benefit reform and improving on family services with an expansion of spouse employment programs and greater access to child care. However the bulk of Clinton’s plan focuses more on VA reform, using the “New Bradley Plan” to streamline the claims process and eliminate the VA’s notorious backlog of claims and appeals. The VA would work closely with the Department of Defense to ready themselves for outgoing veterans so they can be entered into the VA system more quickly. The expansion of VA services would also include more services for female soldiers and increased funding for mental health providers and programs that provide treatment for veterans with suicidal tendencies. Outside of the VA, Clinton wants to continue support of the GI bill and expand the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to provide credit for businesses that hire disabled veterans. For Trump, his plan for VA reform starts with a turnover of personnel, appointing a VA secretary empowered to terminate or discipline the federal employees that have allowed the VA’s claims to backlog as far as they have. Trump would also create a commission to investigate the VA and present those findings to Congress to inform legislative reform. Individual issues with the VA would be addressed by a 24 hour hotline to the White House and the ability for veterans to seek care at private service providers. Reform of the visa system is also part of Trump’s plan, concluding that with fewer immigrants in the country, more health care resources will be available for veterans.

Settlement in Iowa by the Danish occurred around 1870. According to Iowa Pathways, a division of Iowa Public Television, “many Danes settled in Audubon and Shelby County around the towns of Elk Horn and Kimballton. Today, more people of Danish ancestry live in this area than in any other rural community outside of Denmark. It was once said that a person could live in Elk Horn for months and never need to speak a language other than Danish. Other centers of Danish settlement in

Iowa were at Fredsville in Grundy County and Ringsted in Emmet County.” For Franklin County, Dr. Oscar B. Harriman built a home along what is now Highway 3, and served as a doctor for the town. Harriman was Danish. In 1920, the family of Harriman sold the house to Chris and Anna Nielsen, who owned the house until the year 2000, when Nielseen Nielsen, daughter of Chris and Anna Nielsen, gifted the property in her will

to the Franklin County Historical Society, with the help of Jim Jorgensen. The conditions of the gift were that the property had to stay intact. At the time of the gift however, the property was dilapidated and overgrown, and the historical society had no money for repairs, until Jorgensen made his donation. Jorgensen explained that the Danish pioneered what is Southwest Franklin County, congregating in small groups and preserving

their heritage. A majority of the Danish worshipped at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, also on the National Historical Registry. Jorgensen depicted that in his lifetime, 11 Danish homesteads lined three miles of Southwest Franklin County. As of 2016, only two homesteads remain, both abandoned. “If someone doesn’t record or tell the story of the Danish in Iowa, whose going to know about it,” Jorgensen said. “[the Harriman-Nielsen Farm] is an asset to Iowa and

tells the story of the Danish.” Barry Johnson, a member of the nine-person Harriman-Nielsen Farm board, explained that Joregensen’s contribution is a testament to the importance of history. “What [Jorgensen] is doing in a big way, emulates what we do,” Johnson said. “It enhances the community, specifically the West side. It shows the importance of the history of immigration in Franklin County, is that even still, it is a large, ongoing process.”

Transparency: the sly enemy of progress FRANKLIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer

Switching it up After literally years of speculation, Nintendo finally released the first solid details of their next-generation system, the Nintendo Switch. Previously known under it’s development name, the NX, the rumor mill surrounding Nintendo’s next system has been churning for years. Strangely enough, the rumors were pretty much all correct, starting with the new console’s defining gimmick. The Nintendo Switch isn’t just a home console, but a console/handheld hybrid. The main unit of the device is really just a portable LCD screen with some heavy duty hardware inside. You can set the main unit into a dock which transfers the main screen to your television, or you can snap on a controller accessory to each side and use it as a portable gaming device. The rumor that Nintendo’s next system would be a hybrid always seemed outlandish. Nintendo has maintained a very profitable grip on the handheld market for decades. Why compete with yourself in an area you already dominate? But the rumor continued to persist, The more time passed, the more believable it became, if only because this is exactly the sort of decision Nintendo would make.

I’ll get one either way. I already have a PC for mainstream gaming, so all I really need from Nintendo is my Mario and Zelda ¿x. That’s enough. It’s never enough for them to just make a system that plays games. For ten years now they’ve had to be different. The Nintendo Wii had its motion controls. The Wii-U had its tablet controller. Now we have the Switch which, to be fair, is as close to a traditional console that Nintendo has made in the last decade. In theory, you could never remove the system from its dock and it would effectively function identically to a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. However, performance is another matter. Once again, Nintendo remains behind the curve when it comes to graphical prowess. In a best case scenario, the Nintendo Switch will be almost as powerful as the three year old Xbox One, while still costing as much, if not more, due to the expensive LCD screen attached to it. That’s a hard sell for anybody that isn’t enamored by the novelty of playing home based video games on the go. Another seemingly unlikely rumor that ended up being true was that the new system will be cartridge based rather than disk based. This is a bold move for Nintendo considering their history with the format. In the mid-90s, when Sony entered the gaming market with the CD based PlayStation, Nintendo steadfastly held to their tradition of cartridge based games. Because CDs could store more data while still being produced at a fraction of the cost of cartridges, Sony’s PlayStation was a much less risky choice for developers to make games for. Nintendo did eventually switch to a disk based system in 2001 with the Nintendo GameCube, but by then the damage had been done. The decision to stick with cartridges in 1996 was one of the turning points that lead to Nintendo’s fall as the top dog in the industry. But times have changed. Solid state media has come a long way in the last two decades. And, of course, cartridges come with advantages of their own. Where disk-based systems require power consuming moving parts, and fans to cool those moving parts, cartridges use less space, less power, and are less prone to damage during everyday use. I’ve long ago stopped trying to predict whether or not Nintendo’s latest scheme will wildly succeed or backfire spectacularly. I think there’s little chance that their next system sees any more success than their last one, but who knows. This could be the one that catches lightning in a bottle again and takes the world by storm. I’ll get one either way. I already have a PC for mainstream gaming, so all I really need from Nintendo is my Mario and Zelda fix. That’s enough. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and has a PC that does what Nintendon’t.

Trust, it’s what the world runs on. We, as Americans, trust that the dollar will retain its value, as it is only backed on the promise that it is worth something. We trust that our military, the CIA and the FBI will keep us safe from external harm. We trust that we will make it to work safely and return home in the same matter that we left. We trust that our employers will be honest with us and won’t fire us for no reason. So much of our lives is based on this “thing” that can’t be physically touched, only experienced, and cannot be compared to what anyone else experiences. It is the actual currency of our daily lives and we take it for granted. The hot political trend over this decade has been the priority of transparency. We, as a nation, need to trust that our elected officials are sanitized, untarnished from when we first elected them. We want to trust our country’s CEOs to be honest. We want those representing us to be trustworthy. In turn, because trust is an experience, our only physical monitoring system is transparency. But this deep desire to trust someone with power has distorted the system that was built on the faith that a Democratic Republic could work, almost 400 years ago. As a nation, we have become obsessed with transparency to the point that we don’t trust anyone, or anything, and that has thrown a monkey wrench into the American political system — which was created on a piece of paper, backed the on faith that it was the best system available. This decade introduces what we think will quench our thirst for total trust: leaks and hacks. For years, ou r cou nt r y has dropped everything when newspapers reported companies and elected officials doing things that they weren’t supposed to do. Think back to the Pentagon Papers, which illustrated that the US was fighting a losing battle in Vietnam. Think back to Watergate, when President Richard Nixon was trying to crash the Democratic Party. As the information age has become faster and more prevalent, reports like these have painted the picture that CEOs and governments can’t be trusted. We’ve demanded meeting be public, that deliberations be open to the public, that companies report every transaction they make, all so that we may feel secure that something is going right, so that we may feel secure. I liken it to a parent, who catches their child in a lie, several times. As a parent, you want to trust your child won’t get into

mischief that puts themselves or others in danger with their law or their lives. But when a child keeps slandering their peers, or is caught stealing or telling you they didn’t break your family heirloom when they did, you lose trust. You ground them not to punish them, but because you physically cannot trust them outside of your gaze. In this metaphor, the nation is the parent, and governments and companies are the child. In these last four weeks leading up to the election, our desire for transparency has painted a picture that we find untrustworthy. Thanks to Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton’s leaked emails from Wikileaks, many voters find her untrustworthy because of her favorable dealings with banks, her hesitation with supporting popular liberal movements and political conversations and her savvy ways of avoiding the transparency that we so covet. Republican Senator Marco Rubio recently stated that he isn’t taking the information from the leaks seriously because it is a threat from external voices, trying to force a result in an election. He urged his electorate not to cheer or support the leaks because one day, it could happen to the Republican base. While Rubio’s comments are valid, they don’t express what these leaks have done to the American political process. Our need for transparency has established this hypertension of identity politics. When we demand that private meetings be open and demand that anything talked about over phone belongs to us, it pauses the political process, and slows it to the crawl that we are experiencing now. Hypothetically, let’s pose the simplified scenario that drainage district repairs are too costly, so farmers in the district choose to not repair them, which causes flooding in town. In an open deliberation room, you have members of the farming community who fight that they don’t want to pay the cost to repair the drains, while the townsfolk fight that they must pay for the damages. With the hyper transparency we are experiencing, representatives of both sides will be closely watched, and both sides will hope that their side doesn’t budge on

their conviction. What can happen? There can be no negotiating. To trace this back to the parent-child metaphor, a child is almost forced into indecision when both parents want something different from the child. How can the child decide when both humans he is responsible to, can’t let him or her make a decision. The truth of the matter is that there is a winner and loser in every decision. A good compromise is when no one leaves the table happy. But the only thing worse than a decision is a scenario in which no decision is made. By demanding emails and meetings, and hacks and leaks, we force this identity that no one we support can waver. We trust them not to waver. We need them to not waver. That’s what makes us feel safe. But the truth of the matter is just the opposite. We trust that we will make it to work and back safely, when the odds we don’t are much greater. We trust that the dollar is worth something, when all it takes is a broken promise. We trust a lot of things that aren’t safe. But the only thing we harshly scrutinize is a political system less than 400 years old, which has made more progress for equality and prosperity than any other civilization that came before, and the world has moved just as fast. Think of all that was accomplished since 1900. Women received the right to vote, the 15 and 16 amendments were passed, insurances companies can’t reject you if you have a disease, you have a minimum wage and you have safer factories. All of this was done in the days that everyone depicts as smoky, dim-lit, backroom deals. Things got done because we weren’t demanding to see meeting minutes of what was said in negotiations, so that we can yell and scream about how our interests weren’t being looked after. Even as a journalist for this paper, I used to hate closed sessions. I thought it threatened our freedom. But in my work, I’ve realized that some things are better left alone until a decision is made. Transparency should be thrown out the window, but our expectation and right to transparency is an enemy to politics. Evidence should be released. Regular meetings should be public. But sometimes it takes privacy to openly negotiate to get anything done. A bad decision can be learned from and corrected. No decision does nothing. Can you imagine if President Abraham Lincoln held public forums on whether or not to abolish slavery?

There is still time to enjoy fall color in Iowa fall color While a good share of northern Iowa is peaking out right now, the show isn't completely over. A lot will depend on the weather forcast and wind. Good days are still ahead to catch some of the oaks with their rich reds and rusts. For central and southern Iowa, the best color display will be from this weekend through the end of the month. Green ash, hackberry, walnut and silver maple are painting the landscape with yellows. The hard maples, primarily in towns, are showing bright reds and oranges, and the oaks are just beginning to show. Once the white oaks start changing the peak will be here. Call (515) 233-4110 or visit the DNR's fall color web page for a full statewide report. Updates are made Monday afternoons.

WARHAWKS FALL IN FINALE BY JOHN JENSEN GRUNDY CENTER – Grundy Center senior Bryce Flater rushed for 389 yards and six touchdowns as West Fork dropped its final game of the season Friday, 81-20. The Warhawks (3-6 overall, 3-4 Class A, District 3) saw their threegame winning streak snapped by a Spartan team that rushed for nearly 500 yards and finished with 636 yards of total offense. Most of those yards came from Flater, who averaged 18.4 yards per rush and also had 82 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns while playing into the fourth quarter. Grundy Center (6-3, 5-2) entered the game with playoff hopes, though those hopes did not materialize when qualifiers were announced late Friday night. The Warhawks struggled through three quarters before finding their offense in the final 12 minutes. Starting quarterback Jarel Arbegast suffered a pair of injuries in the game, the second sidelining him except for kick-holding duty and the final play of the game. Backup quarterback Lukas Wogen completed just 4-of-17 passes for 44 yards

while being intercepted three times. WF’s best passing threat proved to be senior receiver Rylan Fleshner, who completed a pair of long option passes in the fourth quarter for touchdowns. Senior running back Cole Hall was also effective at times, finishing with 130 yards on 19 carries. It did not take long for the Warhawks to see they were going to have trouble against Flater, a 6-foot1,205-pounder with good speed. He rushed three times for 29 yards on Grundy Center’s first drive and six times for 67 yards the second time the Spartans had the ball. He also went the final 56 yards on a hook-and-lateral play in the second quarter and caught a 26-yard scoring pass late in the same frame. The returning first-team all-stater ended his season as the state’s all-class regular-season rushing champion with 2,049 yards and 33 touchdowns. Grundy Center led 21-0 after one quarter and 55-0 at halftime. The Spartans returned a pair of interceptions for touchdowns in the first two and a half minutes of the third quarter to lead 67-0 and Flater’s final touchdown of the night made it 74-0 after three quarters.

SPORTS IN BRIEF • West Fork duo knock out Rockford

Trailing 81-0 in the fourth, West Fork got on the scoreboard on a Hall 15-yard run. The Warhawks recovered the ensuing onside kick and struck again on their next offensive play, as Fleshner took the ball on what looked like a fly sweep and then lofted it downfield to Christian Ames for the 49yard touchdown. West Fork struck with the same play five minutes later, this time to a wide open Ames for a 67-yard score. The game was the final one for seven West Fork seniors, including the team’s top three rushers (Hall, Arbegast and Fleshner), two receivers (Fleshner and Michael Fjone) and top passer (Arbegast).

Undefeated no longer

ROCKFORD – The two-headed monster of Lexi Bray and Jacqlyn Caspers took out Rockford in a five-set thriller on the road in the Class 2A Region 3 opener on Tuesday, Oct. 18. The duo each put down 22 kills to combine for 44 of the Warhawks’ 51 effective attacks in the marathon match. Coach Abbee Dickman’s team traded blows with the Warriors as West Fork took the opener and third sets before taking the final, 25-13, 23-25, 25-17, 21-25, 15-7. West Fork also did a good job of defending the Rockford attack, coming up with 80 digs and nine blocks. Libero Madison Patten led the way with 23 digs while four different Warhawks tallied multiple blocks, led by Caspers’ three. Both setters for the Warhawks distributed the ball well as Ylani Guerrero and Kaitlyn Liekweg had the majority of assists on the 51 kills. Also serving well as a team, West Fork was 96-of-105 overall, five of the nine aces by Caspers. The win advanced the Warhawks to a date with Central Springs at Manly on Monday, Oct. 24. The Panthers, who dropped out of the latest Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union 2A rankings, had a bye to start regional play.

The last undefeated team went down Sunday as parity reigns once again. The last remaining team without a blemish on their record was the Minnesota Vikings, and they came out flat after their bye week and did not look good against the Philadelphia Eagles. After the Vikings struck first with a Blair Walsh field goal, the Eagles ran off 21 unanswered points, including a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Josh Huff. It was not a pretty game. Each team had four turnovers, with Minnesota losing three fumbles and Bradford throwing a pick. In 10 games combined, there were only three turnovers for these teams, yet on five consecutive series in the first quarter, the squads traded giveaways. Neither team eclipsed 300 yards in total offense and both quarterbacks threw for less than 200 yards. The Vikings didn’t record a sack in a game for the first time all season, while the Eagles got six. It will be interesting to see how the Vikings respond to some adversity this season. It isn’t always a bad thing to lose, and it lets a team refocus and get better. Time will tell if the Vikings can get back to their winning ways, as they have the low-

PIGSKIN PONDERINGS

Zach Clemens ly Bears next on the schedule. The Patriots rolled once again versus a Steelers team without Big Ben. Did anyone really think Landry Jones would beat Brady? Tom Terrific didn’t have a mind-blowing game, but a steady one with two touchdowns and 222 yards passing. Gisele’s husband only had seven incompletions the entire game. With the Broncos taking a step back, New England is clearly the best team in the AFC. I still think it will come down to the Patriots and Broncos for a right to go to the Super Bowl. The home team will win it, as history shows us, and right now it looks like that will be in Foxboro. The Week 15 matchup in Denver looms large. The New York Giants kicker Josh Brown was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list after documents have surfaced where Brown admitted to abusing his wife.

He was suspended for the first game of the 2016 season, yet now is basically suspended indefinitely while the NFL investigates. This stems from an incident from May of 2015. He admits in a journal, letters and emails that he hit his wife. Yet the NFL or the team had no knowledge of the admission? The police had the evidence, and I find it hard to believe that the NFL or team had no idea what the kicker had written. The Giants re-signed him this offseason, after the incident. Giants coach Ben McAdoo has said they will not turn their back on Josh. My question is why not? According to his own writings, he is a lifelong abuser, what makes the NFL or the Giants think he would change? Or are they only now taking action after the abuse admission was made public? Seems the league cares more about if a player is smoking a joint than beating their wife. The Seahawks and Cardinals on Sunday night ended in a tie; a 6-6 tie, with both teams missing very short field goals in overtime to win it. How boring was that game? I don’t know, because I was finding out who met Lucille on The Walking Dead, and I’m glad I was, that Sunday night game sounded way more brutal.
