Intersection renovation The intersection of Highway 65 and Gilman Street has been renovated.

The city has had little to no financial interest in this project and are grateful to the state for their efforts. If you have any further questions regarding this project, please contact City Hall.

nearly outgrown the convention center. With shelves of merchandise and tables of displays filling the room, the railroad club has the welcome logistics challenge of figuring out where to put it all for next year’s show. “We’re gonna have to rearrange things here and make more room,” said Hansen. If the show continues to grow, the club may even have to expand, moving some of the event into a second building on the fairgrounds.

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin General Hospital Board of Trustees approved a hospital renovations and improvements project after a public hearing on Oct. 24, awarding the contract to Contractor Dean Snyder, with a base bid of $590,865. The project will include converting the hospital’s old records storage office into a usable space, that will remodel the entire clinic portion of the facility. The plans will do away with a counter for patients to check in. The renovation of the clinic will feature four private check-in rooms for patients to enter. Patients will then regroup with each other in the waiting room, until they are called back into exam rooms. The remaining portion of the old records space will hold an office and consulting room for the facility’s health coach and its navigator, who are currently set up in a temporary office. An additional two offices will also be established in the space. One for the clinic manager and the other for the lead clinic nurse, who is sharing with another mid-level nurse. The other portion of the renovations will be on the North side of the facility in the facility’s old storage space, which used to hold radiology film and records before the facility switched to Electronic Medical Records. In that space will be Senior Life Solutions, a program through the company Psychiatric Medical Care.

Railroad show packs convention center BY TRAVIS FISCHER Things were chugging along at the Franklin County Convention Center on Sunday as railroad enthusiasts from across the region visited Hampton to attend the 5th Annual Model Train Show & Sale. Organized by the North Central Iowa Model Railroad Club, the show was packed with trains of all sizes for collectors of all ages as generations of railroad fans came to celebrate their hobby. “It’s probably the best we’ve ever had,” said club member Jim Hansen, who en-

joyed seeing entire families visit the show to see the displays and shop for new pieces for their collection. “It’s been a good turnout.” The train show attracted more than 20 vendors from around the state, setting up over 100 tables in the convention center’s main hall. Positive word of mouth has led to continuous growth for the show over the last five years, packing the building with tables of equipment and collectibles. “They just come from everywhere,” said Hansen. In fact, the success of the show has

Rohn and Fred Martin of Postville were Thursday evening supper guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schreiber. Fred Martin is a brother of Mrs. Schreiber. NOVEMBER 6, 1986 The S-C/M-T Spartans ended their season last Wednesday with a hardfought 13-7 loss to North Iowa Conference power Britt. The game was an opening round play-off clash between two of the seven unbeaten teams in Class 1-A of the state play-offs. Even though Britt’s linemen averaged 30 pounds heavier than the Spartans front, S-C/M-T played a very aggressive, hard hitting game that surprised many by-standers who thought Britt would dominate just because of their size. The Eagles had only given up 38 points all year long and the only team to provide a stiff challenge for them all year was 3-A, Forest City. Britt’s ball control style of offense proved to be a big difference right away as an exchange of punts found them with only 41 yards to go for their first score of the night. After a 21 yard pass reception brought the ball to the one yard line, quarterback Tony Boothroyd sneaked over for the score. On the very next possession the Spartans drove the ball 60 yards to the Britt five, only to come up against a fourth down and goal against the tough Britt defense. A fake field goal attempt resulted in a pass from Steve Meints to an apparently wide open Troy Terry, however the Britt defender came up hard and jolted the ball loose before Troy could hold possession. Britt’s offense then went to work and picked up three first downs before they were stopped, causing the Spartans to take over on their own 15 yard line. The Spartan offense, behind some impressive running by John Kasper and Mike Schilling, put together an 11 play, 85 yard drive that resulted in a one yard sneak by Steve Meints to tie the score. Much of their yardage on that drive was a result of excellent trap blocking and double teams by the front five of Dave Meints, Matt Brinkman, Dave Mahn, Keith Nicolet and Daren Meints. The third quarter went scorelessly by as both defenses stiffened, not allowing

either team to accumulate more than one first down on any possession. Britt finally broke through early in the fourth quarter with a 83 yard drive for the decisive score. 210 pound fullback Don Finch accounted for the touchdown as well as most of the Eagles yardage in the drive. From that point the Eagle defense took over and would not allow the Spartans more than one first down the rest of the game. For the night, John Kasper was the leading rusher with 130 yards on 21 carries. Don Finch of Britt recorded 88 yards on 14 carries for the winners. Staistically the game looks just as close as the score indicates as the Eagles racked up 270 yards of offense to S-C/MT’s 253. Aside from Kasper, Mike Schilling ran the ball nine times for a total of 58 yards. Jeff Rabey, three times for 16, and Kelly Etnier, twice for seven yards. Steve Meints threw four of 12 times for a total of 38 yards as the Britt defense was especially aware of the Spartans ability to throw. Even though the season was brought to close by the loss, the play by the outsized Spartans was that of a championship team and each member of the 1986 S-C/M-T Spartan football team can take great pride in their efforts. The 8-0 regular season is an accomplishment of only the most dedicated and successful athletes in the state, regardless of how the season ends. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Nielsen were Sunday afternoon, Nov. 2, visitors with Ray’s cousin, Mrs. Laura Badker at Clear Lake. That evening they were visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Herman Oelkers at Thornton.

Gary Bennett, a missionary to Japan, home on furlough. Warren and Laura Froning were callers on Friday evening of Floyd and Arliss Greimann of rural Sheffield. NOVEMBER 7, 1996 The S-C/M-T Spartans used a strong running game to build up a 26 to 7 lead over Nora Springs-Rock Falls last Saturday in the UNI-Dome. The Eagles scored two TD passes in the fourth quarter but the Spartan defense stopped Nora Springs’ last-ditch effort for a score as S-C/M-T won the last game of the season 26-21. S-C/M-T rushed for 311 yards. Charlie Dickman gained 94 yards on 10 carries. Nathan Leininger picked up 64 yards on 14 rushes and Corey Lambertsen and Matt Hartwig each gained 61 yards. All four Spartan touchdowns came on the ground with Leininger, Hartwig, Lambertsen, and Jeremy Clark each crossing the goalline. Mike Donnenwerth kicked 2 PATs. Hartwig completed 4 passes for 60 yards. Adam Taylor caught two for 31 yards. Defensively S-C/M-T held NSRF to 86 yards rushing but allowed 116 yards passing. The Eagles completed 6 of 27 passes. Dickman, Adam Nelson, and Sean Okusko each intercepted passes. Cory Lambertsen led the Spartans with eight initial tackles and three assists. Hartwig had seven and one and Taylor added six initial tackles. Kyle Johnson and Dickman each recovered Eagles fumbles. S-C/M-T finished the season with a record of 3 wins and 6 losses. Lisa Atkinson of Manchester came Friday evening to spend the week end with her mother, Roberta Atkinson. She also visited with her father, James, who is a resident of the Sheffield Care Center.

The days are becoming shorter thus it reflects the same upon our golfing season. We decided to why not squeeze in an extra session or so this week so we teed em up on Monday. The weather was cooperative as can be, 60+ a tad of wind and sunshine, I mean what else can there be in life on the golf course. We had twelve troops show up and they were totally into the logic, and philosophy of the war at hand. The battle took place with one round being played on the big course, the second round on the par three and then a drastic putting contest to round out the war. Dally me man Slages Slagle, Rog me man Madson and Dean me man Peter took first place honors only by winning a tie breaker. There were three teams that shot 73 and on shot 74 so that shows you how close we are in talent. Well we call it talent golfers might disagree. They (whoever they are) said old Dally Pooh was Mr. Consistent never leaving the fairway and pin point iron shots. Oh my that man has become our idol; well has become something but not sure what that is. Roger and Dean both each contributed one shot; well that’s what they said, whoever they are. Their win brought them home a nice sum of $5,004 minus $5,000. The second place team was led by yours truly and had Dick me man Brown and Bob me man Shreckengost. Old Browny cost us the first place by missing a 2-inch putt, but hey we forgave him right away as we know those are tough ones to make. Bobsy me man drained a couple of crucial putts only after we gave him the read. We cried and ranted because we need the money and got nuttin. The third place team and winning nuttin was Tom me man Severe, Denny me man Phillips and Davey me man Levitt. Now word has it Davey me man lost the match for them as he five putted number nine green, well maybe it was four putted and then again maybe three but it was awful. The final contingent of Cliffy me man Cameron, Billy me man Nolte and FrankO me man Schnoes. Schnoes me many had the shot of the year as he pulled, hooked and yanked his tee shot across the tracks and into Gary Schaefer’s combine. Word has it Gary thought it was raining golf balls. Their last place finish won them each gift certificate to JC Penny in the mall in MC. Fossy told me he talks to himself frequent-

ly because he needs expert advice and I think we all do that!! DeanO said he’s so old he dares not to stand near the curb when the garbage truck is coming. Teeing off on Thursday and winners were Dougy Siems, Tommy Severe and Barney Dougherty with a 710. Second place went to Neddy me Man Bohach, Gary me man Nelson and Roger me man Madsen with a 72. The third place team which eked us out on a tie breaker shot 72 also. That team was Dallas Dallas Slagle Slagle, Jimmy Jimmy Saylor Saylor and Dave $$$ Dave Levitt Levitt. Fourth place went to Dennis 66 Phillips, Duey Duane Dorenkamp and Dennis Menace Foss with a 74. The last place team and I mean waaaay back was Cliffy Cameron, Dicky Brown and Kimy Willis with an ugly oh yes it was 77. Word has it that Davey me man Levitt was so hot with his putter he had to dip the handle into the pond on #7 to cool it off. He ran in three looooong putts in a row and just commented, “Oh it was nothing.â€? Friday we didn’t have much of a turnout but played a little cross country golf, using various tee boxes creating havoc with judging distances. After playing the big course we had to maneuver the putting green to end the battle. Neddy Boy, Denny Boy Phillips, Davey Boy Levitt and Billy Boy Nolte captured top hones shooting 35 on the big course and a torrid 41 on the putting green. Tommy Boy Severe, Dallas Boy Slagle, Jimmy Boy Saylor and Bobby Boy Shreckengost shot 34 on the big course but choked on the putting green carding a 47. Thus as the weekends, the weather looks tolerable next week so there is hope for at least one day of battle for the old boys. DeanO Peter told me his luck was so bad in golf that if he bought a cemetery people would quit dying. Rog Madsen reminded all the boys that once you’re over the hill you pick up speed. Bazinga told me how to prepare lutefisk‌..throw it in the garbage and grill a hamburger. Slag told me his mind was made up so don’t confuse me with facts. Okay on a closing note, a big hug is the best gift anyone can give, and the joy is that you can be a giver and taker at the same time. See ya round like a donut or are it doughnut or doe nut and like who cares, it is round.

Oh deer Many years ago our garden was being whipped by the wind, so we decided to plant a row of bushes to protect it. Later, we built a small feedlot south of there. A row of trees next to the bushes made sense to keep snow out of the feedlot and the cattle comfortable. We have been buying seedlings from the soil office fundraiser for as long as I can remember. Those people do a great job promoting soil conservation. It must be frustrating for them. The tradition of farmer as master over the land usually trumps the idea of working with nature instead of destroying it for short term gain. It is too bad that the people at the soil office are having their work destroyed by a related government agency. Yesterday I discovered several trees had been shredded by deer. We had watered, weeded and mulched those trees for years and they had finally taken off. Now they are torn to shreds. I’ve come up with a few simple measures that could not only save lives and money, but also aid the hungry. Many taxpayer dollars could be saved if the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) were restricted from jurisdiction over private property. When deer are on our property they should be subject to our rule not the rule of the state. Did you know it is illegal to sell harvested deer meat? Restaurants in the United States that serve venison, import it from New Zealand. Dumb. Then there are all the hungry people who get food stamps to buy groceries. I remember back in my days in the mountains of western Montana, going to apply for food stamps. Even before the Spotted Owl scam, jobs were pretty scarce at times in timber country. I looked at all that paperwork and walked out. I lived with a couple guys who could shoot straight and I could help carry, so we survived on a diet that lacked the diversity of a grocery store. It is incredible to me that an animal that costs $4 billion and 200 lives a year in vehicle crashes is managed to provide sport for a tiny minority. That we need a license from the state to shoot a deer should be shocking to people in a free country. We’ve spent $4 trillion on a war on terror that hasn’t impacted as many Americans as the deer. In fact, much of that $4 trillion acted as a recruitment tool or incitement, not as a deterrent. Without the incentive of our air bases in Saudi Arabia, 9/11 very well could have never happened. And our reaction to it was the most costly part. I’m not trying to discount the threat of jihad, I’m only offering perspective on another problem caused by excessive government power. I couldn’t find a solid number on the cost of deer damage to crops and residential plantings, but even without those added, one motorcyclist hitting a deer on the interstate should be enough that our government should not only stay completely out of the deer management business, but should encourage any hungry person to seek one for their freezer at any time. It would be fine with me if the DNR stuck to enforcing trespass laws. That would take care of all the environmental issues they are presently responsible for. Individual people should be accountable, not an easily manipulated bureaucracy.

Here we go again! I have nothing to complain about...so how am I supposed to write an article? I now have high speed internet on my computer. No...that doesn’t mean I have to type faster! I was worried there for a while as I thought that would be the case...and my two pointers will only go so fast! Finally got a printing job completed that I had been worried about for a week or so. It had to have a certain color of ink on it...and that can be a chore! Too much ink on the press and the color is too dark. Not enough ink on the press and the color is too light. Now...you’d think that after all the years I’ve been printing...I could hit the right color spoton! That usually is not the case...but this time it was, I hope! Those who I have to please have not notified me either way. And they say that no news is good news. I just wish I had caller ID! Actually...I wish I had a lot of things. But one should be careful what he/she wishes for! It could come true! Home...another rather dull week at the hacienda. The place is clean, so that chore didn’t need to be done.

THE RAGAN REPORT

Amanda Ragan

Iowa is tough and smart on crime In tight budget times, it is more important than ever that we be smart on crime. There are some excellent ways to reduce the number of repeat offenders, keep people out of prison and save taxpayer dollars. Family treatment courts, a better approach to sentencing and helping offenders re-enter society can help. Family Treatment Courts are an alternative for parents with substance use problems who haven’t properly cared for their children. These courts offer help from a team of professionals, access to treatment and frequent drug testing. A recent study shows nearly 1,000 parents and more than 1,600 children have benefited from Iowa’s Family Treatment Courts since 2007. There are now family treatment courts in every Iowa judicial district, an initiative that has saved the state more than $12 million. Parents in the Family Treatment Court program are more likely to enter and complete treatment than those who don’t participate. Among the children: • 76 percent are able to remain in the custody of their parent or caregiver • 77 percent return within 12 months • 96 percent suffer no further maltreatment Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Cady says Family Treatment Courts are helping to end the tragic cycle of broken families and broken lives due to substance abuse.

Had the Edge cleaned up ...so I put it away and covered it up for a couple of months. (I came home the other night and the back hatch was wide open, lifting the cover with it. And one night I was in the house when the alarm went off. I love that remote I carry the keys on!) I exchanged it for the Monte Carlo. That gets better gas mileage...but it’s a much harder to get in and out of at this age. The main reason for exchanging vehicles is that I don’t like to let them sit idle for too long. Sort of like me: I don’t like to sit idle for too long! I still need to put the top up on the convertible and cover it up. I also need to cover up the motorcycle. And what I REALLY need to do is sell two or three vehicles! I need to...but don’t want to! I’ve had the convert for 50 years; the coupe for 30 years, and probably haven’t put 1,000 miles on the coupe. The convert was completely restored in ’83, and probably hasn’t had 1,000 miles put on that for 30 years! And that was mostly to and from car shows. And now that I’m getting a little more mature!...I would rather do something else.

Didn’t go south this past week end, but I will Saturday. I will leave early enough to watch Lidia play in a basketball game, and then celebrate her 7th birthday in the afternoon. Her birthday is actually on Nov. 10... but Angie will have surgery on the eighth and hosting a birthday party then is probably not a good idea. She will be recuperating for a couple of weeks, and I will be without a helper to accompany me on our annual Christmas shopping excursion. Looks to me like a lot of gift cards! Not really...but it’s an idea. I suppose I’ll have to get another mortgage on the house...or sell something! Oh, woe is me! So much for the youknow-what! Sunday...the day that I used to sleep in an extra hour or two...up the same time as every other day. Nothing really planned until Shirley called. We met in Mason City and headed for Floyd. Back to Mason City late afternoon...got something to eat...and decided to not play Bingo that evening as we usually do. She had things to do at home... and I needed to go back to the office. 10:30 and I was ready to go home and go to bed. As it turned out...it’s a good thing I went back to work; Monday did not have enough hours in it. Finally caught up mid-morning Tuesday, with the exception of this bit of info, and will work in the back of the shop until it’s time to proof the paper. Another week is history. Be good, Kids! It’s Showtime!

Setting successful investment goals early “Individuals spend more time planning a summer vacation than they do setting investment goals,� says Brenda Schmitt, family finance specialist with Iowa State University Extension. “To focus on your dreams, establish specific investment goals. Then you are more likely to be successful.� Write down your goals. Putting them on paper reminds you of their significance and can motivate you to do what you need to do to achieve them. Most individuals have more than one investment goal. However, it is best not to have so many competing goals that you become discouraged. Also, divide them into short-, medium-, or long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that can be accomplished within the next two-to-three years. Having a specific dollar amount for a car in two years is a short-term goal. Medium-term goals are those that could be accomplished within the next three to ten years, for example, having a fund for a child’s college education. Long-term goals are those that take more than ten yea rs to accomplish, for example, having a

nest egg to fund retirement. Schmitt suggests that investment goals should be SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, reviewed, and time-related. A specific goal is one with dollar amounts and dates established for an identified purpose. Decide on a regular amount to invest weekly, biweekly or monthly to accomplish your goals. Be realistic and establish attainable investment goals given your financial situation. Review your goals regularly, for example, annually, to see if you are on target or whether revisions need to be made in your investment plan. Have a timeline for accomplishing your goals. For example, suppose you want a retirement nest egg that will yield $1,000 per month to supplement your pension. If you plan to retire in 20 years, you will need to put $150 a month in investments averaging a 10 percent return to have a $114,000 nest egg at retirement. If you don’t know where you are going you can’t choose the right path to get there. By establishing specific investment goals, you have a road map to achieving financial success. Long-term goals are those that take more than ten years to accomplish, for example, having a nest egg to fund retirement.

$3 million tax rebate for NEW Co-Op decision put on hold

A glance at the Franklin County Sheriff ballot COMPILED BY ETHAN STOETZER

Both candidates were approached to do interviews several weeks prior to this publication. The following interviews have been edited and consolidated for print:

LINN LARSON • Length in Franklin County: 10 years • Past law enforcement experience: I have been in law enforcement for 38 years, of those years, 23 of them were spent as police chief in Belmond. I had full administrative duties there, including: handling of budgets, disciplinary action and the daily operations. I have been in Franklin County since 2006. In 2008, I was offered the chief deputy position and have held that since then. I am second in command and that position has responsibilities like running the office while the sheriff is gone or on medical leave. • What is your agenda if elected sheriff: I want to move the agency from an on-call basis, to having 24 hour coverage. Since the sheriff has been on medical leave earlier this year, and I took over scheduling, I enacted a 24-hour schedule. We do have four-eight hours a week where we’re on call, but I want to move to a full 24-hour coverage. I would like to remove the sanctuary county status Larson from Franklin County. Other issues the county faces are the methamphetamine use, domestic abuse issues — that we deal with almost weekly — and mental health problems. • How would you address Hispanics who receive licenses in other counties: We need an aggressive traffic enforcement program, making sure drivers have licenses, proof of registration and insurance. Those people will be discovered and it will be addressed then.

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin County Supervisors decided to defer a tax-rebate agreement to its bond counsel, after NEW Co-Op’s Bob Dobson requested a delay on the agreement’s start date. The $23.5 million feed mill project is anticipated to take 18 months to complete, with construction to be delayed until Spring of 2017. The agreement was initially to take effect in spring 2018, but with a full project not slated to be completed by that time, NEW Co-Op said it wouldn’t be taking advantage of the full rebate program. During construction, the agreement will be set up so that NEW CoOp pays the base tax of the land to the county, and then pays a tax on the partially developed property, until the tax assessor can see the final product to make an accurate valuation of the land. As it currently stands, the rebate is at $3 million or five years of rebates, whichever comes first. The mill is anticipated to add between 12 – 15 jobs.

RICK RIEKEN • Length in Franklin County: Native born and raised. • Past law enforcement experience: In 1999, I spent a summer in McIntosh Wood State Park, with the DNR Parks Regulation and maintenance. I was a park ranger in Franklin County from 2002-04, and became a sheriff reserve deputy in 2002. I’ve work full time with the office since 2004. • What is your agenda if elected sheriff: I think we need to have a true, 24-hour coverage, because right now we have gaps. I’d want the sheriff and chief deputy to share more shifts for fairness, in regards to holidays. I want to implement a criminal restitution for the office. When a criminal arrest happens in other counties, there is structured restitution where the criminal is billed directly for the officer’s time and the supplies used to apprehend the criminal. Instead of just the county funding our budget, this puts a little financial responsibility on the criminal that can aid in our funding. I want more inter and intra-communications with this department and other departments. Rieken I want to see more aggression in pursuing grants to fund our projects, as well as reaching out to local vendors for our bids. Lastly, I’d like to see more rural patrol and community policing. If we have more intensive communication with the public and can build relationships, we can build that inherent trust. • How would you address Hispanics who receive licenses in other counties: It’s no different than talking with anyone else. We need to make a conscious effort to speak and talk to them. Any time we’re amongst the people, working with them becomes easier. There are times when an individual just borrows a car. I think we need to participate in good, old fashioned police work. We need to talk with the driver, ask the proper questions, evaluate the information and make a decision based off that information.

Five candidates vie for Franklin County District 3 Supervisor COMPILED BY ETHAN STOETZER & ZACH CLEMENS Voters in Franklin County will head to the polls next Tuesday to cast their ballots in the Nov. 8 election. With two contested races for local of¿ces, most of the attention will focus on other races at the state and federal levels. All five candidates were approached to do interviews several weeks prior to this publication. These interviews have been consolidated for print. To see the entire interviews, checkout the videos online at thesheffieldpress.com. 1. How long you’ve lived in Franklin County? 2. Have you ever held elected of¿ce or been involved with any type of committee or board? If so, please list them. 3. What community involvement do you currently participate in? 4. What issues do you want to see addressed Franklin County? 5. What makes you the best candidate for supervisor? John Heilskov 1. I was born and raised in Franklin County. I graduated high school in 1973, went to college and came back to Franklin County in 2000. 2. I have been a trustee for the NIACC Board since 2002. 3. I am on the Main Street Hampton committee, Kiwanis member, and an have church involvement. HEILSKOV 4. Economy and economic development, because the economy is what drives things. If we’ve got a robust economy in Franklin County, we’re going to have the funds we need to provide services the county provides. I know there’s roads that need work and the question is do we have the funds to do it? Economic development isn’t just trying to land big industry, its helping farmers in doing what makes them successful and helping our existing businesses. 5. I think it’s my background in my education and what I’ve done for the last 40 years. I’m a certified public accountant, I’m around numbers and finances all the time. As a tax adviser, one of the things I have to do, is I have to listen to my clients and work for data driven solutions to whatever their solution will be. I believe those skills transfer very well to what a supervisor needs to complete, as far as supervising, overseeing county government, making finance and budget decisions. Serving on the NIACC board is similar because we’re involved in policy and budgeting to keep NIACC growing.

Refer to full interview videos online at sheffieldpress.com Susan Wulf-Flint 1. I have lived in Franklin County for 18 months. 2. I am a current member of the Franklin County Board of Health. 3. I am an ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Franklin County; member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Council — Chair of Board of Education; Secretary of the Healthy Harvest Board in North Cent ral Iowa; Iowa Agri-women’s group; on the Iowa Living Roadways steerWULF-FLINT ing committee for Hampton; La Luz Hispana. 4. For me, I see two things: immigration is a point we need to look at, as a whole. Right now, there’s about an 11.2 percent Hispanic population in the county. That is something that is not going away. Over 50 percent of the children at the kindergarten level at Hampton-Dumont are Hispanic. Some of those people are illegal, there’s not much we can do about that, but how can we correct that? How can we get them to the point where they are actually legal, become tax paying citizens and enjoy benefits that we have as citizens? The second thing is taxes. We do not have a very big industrial base here to support our land tax base, so we need to be very aggressive and very prudent because if we lose our land base, we lose our services. 5. I’m coming at it with a fresh set of eyes. Number one, we’ve never had a woman. My region is a very rural region, we have Sheffield, which is a large community, but overall, of the eight townships, the majority is rural, and you’re going to see a lot of absentee landowners who are women. I spent three years living in Russia; I was the outsider there. I can relate to being the outsider: not knowing the language and dressing differently. I understand how it is to be not welcomed and we need tow welcome those people. I worked as a president of a company in Russia. We need to be transparent and work as a team.

Corey Eberling 1. I am a lifetime resident. 2. In 1994, I worked as an intern with Iowa Senator Charles Grassley (R). After that in 2000, I was elected as a Richland Township Trustee, and was re-elected in 2002; that’s grassroots government right there. In 2004, I was elected Franklin County Supervisor, and have been for the last 12 years. It’s an awesome experience. 3. I am a member of the Zion Reform Church. My Christian beliefs dictate that I treat everyone fairly and honestly. I’m never going to mislead people as afar as how things are. I also coach youth basketball and football. Being a supervisor isn’t just about being in a board room, it’s about being a leader in the community. My wife and I also have EBERLING been youth group leaders. I’m always at as many community functions and fundraisers as possible. 4. There’s no doubt roads and bridges are the most challenging things facing Franklin County. It always has been. Since I’ve been on the board of supervisors, we’ve allocated the maximum dollars allowed by Iowa code, towards roads and bridges. We did do a project outside of that, with the wind farm, with a $16-$17 million infrastructure bond program. The state doesn’t like that, but

Ryan Rother 1. I have lived in Franklin County all my life. 2. I am the North Iowa Co-Op Board of Director; on the Franklin County Farm Bureau Board; and a Construction Company owner. 3. I sponsor Sheffield Pig Days and am a Girl Scout supporter. 4. The biggest issue that I feel, and the reason I’m running, is deteriorating roads and bridges; two: our snow removal; ROTHER three: our personnel. We have personnel retiring and leaving and we don’t seem to be replacing them, and you can only stretch our workers so far before we have more start leaving. I just want to know why. Why have we had one-pass snow removal? Which makes it very hard for our school districts, that are so big, running busses down these secondary and primary roads. If there’s only one-pass removal on some of this stuff, they know they can’t send the busses out. We have a lot of roads, that a couple years ago, were closed. Some put to level B’s, we have a lot of bridges that have been embargoed, and that makes it difficult for farmers even to try and get his crops to town and getting to his fields. Our asphalt road are getting rough, our gravel roads, the base rock is wearing through — there’s a lot of issues. 5. There’s five of us running. We all have strong points and weaknesses. The best candidate is really the voters; they have to decide which one they thing is the best. After 16 years of being in the construction business, sitting on and dealing with farms of the North Iowa Co-Op and sitting on the Franklin County Farm Bureau, people want straight talk. They don’t want to hear statistics and long numbers. If they have a problem, they want to know if you have an answer you can tell them. I’ve learned to cut straight to the chase. You have to realize you can’t please everybody, you just got to please the majority.

we were saving 25 percent on these projects. We do contract out services that we may not have manpower for, that those contractors have that expertise. We do hire some seasonal help too, but people ask why we don’t hire more people — I agree we should hire more people, but the trade off is less product on the roads. 5. There’s three reasons: it would be my experience, my dedication and third would be education. I’ve been at this job for 12 years. I’m not saying I’m perfect or that I know it all. I can draw on those experiences. I also have looked through numerous Iowa codes as it pertains to Franklin County and what we have to do. Second, my dedication. You look at my attendance records at the board meetings, and the other boards I sit on. I’m at these meetings, I work tirelessly around the county. I have half the county in my territory. It requires my fulltime, not part-time attention. Third, I have a political science and economics degree. I’ve told people just because you have a four year degree doesn’t mean you know it all, but it helps you learn information and gives you a foundation. My political science degree helps me understand how the political process works and how I need to propose things like law changes. The second aspect is my economics degree, and I believe that’s my biggest asset to the county. Knowing how macro and micro economics impact the community helps in long term planning for projects and economic policy. In 2015, Franklin County had its credit rating upgraded, due to flexibility in our budgets and with our long term economic development.

“If the fair board has a place for us to go, we’d like to fill it,” said Hansen. Operating from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the railroad show only spans a single Sunday, but preparations are a yearround endeavor for the railroad club. The 15 member club has a special committee dedicated to organizing the vendors, arranging advertisement, and making sure that space at the convention center is available. Because the schedules of the vendors can be extremely strict, changing the date can have a massive impact on the success of a show. The railroad club has booked the convention center for the last Sunday in October for years in advance. The show is partially funded by Franklin County Tourism and the railroad club works with the fair board, who serves food during the event. “They do an awfully good job,” said Hansen. “We really appreciate everybody that helps.”

Money tips for financial caregivers According to the Caregiver Action Network, more than 90 million Americans care for a loved one living with a disability, disease or experiencing reduced financial capability as a result of aging. Financial caregivers, such as those with a power of attorney, trustee or a federal benefits fiduciary, play an important role in ensuring that all finances threefourths from routine to complex three-fourths are managed wisely, helping their loved ones maintain the best quality of life possible. In recognition of National Family Caregiver Month, First Security is helping financial caregivers better understand their role. “Millions of Americans are designated to provide financial care to their loved ones,” said Bill Frye, Trust Officer at First Security. “As a financial caregiver, it is extremely important that you stay up to date on any changes in laws and regulations that may impact your role as a fiduciary and your ability to take care of your senior.” First Security is offering the following tips to help individuals understand their role as financial caregivers: • Learn the rights and restrictions that apply to your role. Financial caregivers, such as those with a power of attorney, trustees, and federal benefits fiduciaries, are fiduciaries with a duty to act and make decisions on their loved one’s behalf. Learn the legal responsibilities of your assigned authority in order to better execute your role. • Manage money and other assets wisely. Financial caregivers may be in charge of daily, unexpected and future expenses their loved one may incur. Especially if the beneficiary has a fixed income or limited finances, it is extremely important that caregivers minimize unnecessary costs and budget accordingly to ensure that all money is properly allocated. • Recognize danger signs. Seniors have become major targets for financial abuse and fraud. Make sure to stay alert to signs of scams or identity theft that may put your loved one’s assets in peril. • Keep careful records. When acting as a financial agent, proper documentation is not only encouraged but required. Make sure you keep well-organized financial records, including up-to date lists of assets and debts and a streamline of all financial transactions.

• Stay informed. Monitor changes in financial status of the beneficiary and take appropriate action, as needed. Also, be sure to stay up to date on changes in the laws affecting seniors. • Seek professional advice. Consult First Security’s professional advisors in the Trust Department when you’re not sure what to do. In addition, First Security offers an explanation of the various roles and responsibilities of three types of financial caregivers: power of attorney, trustee and federal fiduciary. Understanding your role as a power of attorney POA is designated by your loved one and gives you the authority to act and make decisions on their behalf, including managing and having access to their bank and other financial accounts. Authority continues if loved one becomes incapacitated (unless the POA expressly provides that it is terminated by the incapacity of the principal) and ends when power is revoked or loved one dies. Understanding your role as a trustee Authority is given once you are named as trustee or co-trustee of a revocable living trust. As a trustee your authority applies only to the property noted in the trust, authorizing you to protect, manage and distribute the trust’s assets as directed in the trust document. Authority continues after the death of the trust creator or grantor. Understanding your role as a federal benefits fiduciary A federal benefits fiduciary is appointed to accept and delegate federal government benefit payments, such as Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits, in the beneficiary’s best interest. Funds for the beneficiary are received through an account set up solely for this purpose. As a representative payee for Social Security benefits or a VA fiduciary for VA benefits, you are required to keep detailed records of all transactions related to the beneficiary and file annual reports detailing how benefits were used. The Caregiver Action Network (the National Family Caregivers Association) began promoting national recognition of family caregivers in 1994. President Clinton signed the first NFC Month Presidential Proclamation in 1997 and every president since has followed suit by issuing an annual proclamation recognizing and honoring family caregivers each November.

West Fork kindergarteners and first graders receive book bags The West Fork Elementary was given the opportunity to incorporate the Workshop Model into their reading classrooms this fall. With this program, students are encouraged to take multiple books home to read at one time to help build their reading comprehension and fluency. The kindergarten and first grade students were the recipients of monetary donations from three local businesses in the West Fork area. With these donations, each student in these grades was provided with a book bag to carry their books between school and home. The staff and students of the Sheffield Elementary would like to express their appreciation for the generous donations from MaxYield Cooperative of Meservey/West Bend, North Iowa Cooperative and Joey Dickman, Real Estate agent of Jaspersen Insurance & Real Estate Ltd. Pictured above are the West Fork first graders. Below are the kindergarteners. JACK ZIMMERMAN PHOTOS

Community Club holds Halloween Party Approximately 150 children enjoyed the Sheffield Community Club Halloween party Sunday afternoon in the multi-purpose room at West Fork School. The annual party was held before Halloween this year so that the children could enjoy the party and also go trick-or-treating on Halloween night.

LEFT: Macey Rust, Lauren Dohlman and Kira Strashko.

The children received a goody bag when they entered the party. They were also treated to hot dogs and vampire donuts. They enjoyed games of Pumpkin Ring Toss, Pumpkin Bowling, Pin the Boo on Ghosts and they decorated pumpkins. The party was a huge success, and it is believed that the hosts enjoyed the fun as much as the children! SUBMITTED PHOTOS

hen the pace of family life gets busy, it seems easier than ever to forgo healthy eating plans, and the hectic autumn season is a big culprit. However, you don’t need to compromise flavor for nutrition when turning to convenient options that fit your busy lifestyle. On average, Americans are only meeting the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate recommendations for servings of vegetables, fruit, proteins, dairy and grains a mere seven days out of 365. Despite their best intentions to eat more healthy meals, many families need inspiration and simple solutions so they can make better eating choices a reality more often. Using educational tools like NestlÊ’s Balance Your Plate program, you can put together delicious and nutritious meals that incorporate both frozen and fresh foods. It’s surprisingly simple to take a mindful approach, even for a fun and tasty option like pizza. Using the nutrition facts on the packaging, determine your serving size and then add a simple and nutritious side dish. Here’s one way to pair a frozen pizza with a fresh side dish: Start with a delicious, DIGIORNO pizzeria! thin crust pizza, like primo pepperoni, which includes 100 percent real cheese and premium meats. Then, round out your meal with a simple side dish recipe focused on vegetables, such as this Chili Lime Butternut Squash or Caul-Slaw. Find more recipes and tips that allow you to choose the perfect pairings at mealtime at nestleusa.com/balance.

PIGSKIN PONDERINGS

Zach Clemens

Tie goes to no one This is only the third time in NFL history since overtime was created that two games have ended in a tie during one season. Last week it was the Cardinals and Seahawks who gave us the first tie on national television on Sunday Night Football. Cincinnati and Washington were this week’s culprits, and they performed an exciting game with a missing final act that played out on international television during London Morning Football. I doubt a tie, which is not fun for anyone, is endearing the British to our American Football. We all know the NFL wants to move over the pond, but ties just don’t help anyone. Josh Norman, Washington’s cornerback who played elite for Carolina last year, did not have a memorable time in London. A.J. Green torched him for nine catches and 121 yards. Then Norman proceeds to go on a rant about the officials after the game, singling out field judge Brad Freeman, saying he “sucked…was terrible” and “should be reprimanded.” Norman got flagged five times during the game, and instead of saying he didn’t play his best that day, he went into a tirade of specific calls he disagreed with on both sides of the ball. As fans, we feel comfortable complaining about officials, especially when the calls seem one-sided. We can justify our team playing terrible by saying it was the refs that screwed us. Yet it’s just not a good look to complain and blame officials when you are a player or coach. Losers whine about the officials, winners know a loss is a chance to get better, and those who tie, well, they are stuck in between. After losing two games in five days, residents of Broncos Country were getting slightly antsy. Now Denver has gutted out two victories in a row to stand at 6-2. After a dominating victory over the Texans and the $72 million former Broncos backup, they faced a Chargers team who easily beat them on a night when Denver both looked and played a bit too much like the Browns. As has been the usual for the past year and a half, the defense just refused to lose. Harassing and hitting Philip Rivers was key with two defensive stars—Aquib Talib and Brandon Marshall—sidelined with injuries. Talib’s replacement, Bradley Roby, started the turnovers by intercepting Rivers and returning it 49 yards for a defensive score. They would go on to get two more interceptions to go along with four sacks. Denver’s offense wasn’t much help, barely able to get anything going with Siemian not playing very well for much of the game, with 38 pass attempts for 276 yards and a pick. Denver was leading most of the game, so I don’t understand why we didn’t try harder to get Booker going earlier. It never seemed like the Broncos defense lost control of the game, even performing a four down goal line stand late in the fourth quarter and San Diego trailing by eight. Even with key starters missing on both sides of the ball, that defense is as good as ever. There is a huge game on Sunday night next week, with Denver visiting the black hole of Oakland, both teams are 6-2, and after years of Raider irrelevance, it seems the rivalry might be renewing.

Peterson earns UMAC Player of the Week award The No.19 ranked University of Northwestern women’s volleyball team tabbed one Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Player of the Week nomination recently. Lindsey Peterson, a junior outside hitter for the Eagles, was able to post her sixth honor on the season. With her strong offensive efforts, Peterson helped Northwestern to a 2-0 UMAC week, as she hit .430 over a two-match span with 48 total kills. Capping off the weekly action, Peterson also managed to add 42 digs (6.00 d/s) and five blocks to her outstanding performance.

HAPPENS

ƒ Top-ranked Hansen sustains injury, pulls out of 1A final

BY KRISTI NIXON FORT DODGE – Pulling a tendon in his foot early in the state race at Fort Dodge, West Fork senior Jake Hansen, who was the top-ranked runner in Class 1A all season long, was forced to exit the field. The injury incurred early, according to Hansen, about 1K into the 5K race on Saturday, Oct. 29. “I was rounding a corner and hit a hard dip in the ground but as I kept running, the tendon around the inside of my foot up to my heel ached and when I could barely make my way up the hills on the back side, I pulled out,” Hansen said. “The trainers said it was probably a pulled tendon, must have twisted wrong on the dip.” When he left the race, he had only recently made a pass and was running third. “I’m disappointed my senior cross country season had to end like

this,” Hansen said, “but overall I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in high school. It’ll definitely be added motivation for wrestling season and track next spring.” West Fork coach Mark Twedt added, “With Jacob, I hate that. When that...happens. He’s worked way too hard to get this fate today, but like I told him, if this is the worst thing that happens to him in his life, he’s still doing pretty good. “In perspective, he’s got more fish to fry and his college career, too. It sucks that this happened.” Inconsolable after the meet, Hansen still had plans to run in the Senior All-Star meet at Ankeny on Saturday, Nov. 5 even though he also said he wouldn’t be able to run for at least three days. “I’ve coached Jacob for six years and the whole goal was to get to this; and he did it three years as an allstater which is unbelievable for a boy. He’ll be fine, he’ll turn the corner.” Without Hansen, the boys finished 13th in the 15-team field as did the girls’ team. The top finish for the boys was Zach Martinek, who crossed the line in 18 minutes, 8.7 seconds. He was 41st in team scoring. Rounding out team scoring for

the Warhawks were Conner Schulz (50th), Josh Stevens (58th), Jonah Van Horne (77th) and Brett Barkema (92nd). “We had some younger kids step up,” Twedt said. “We had three in the top five. Losing Jacob and Josh is going to hurt, just because Josh no doubt is the leader of the team. He took the role. It’s another year, you just keep going. You lose good kids, hope you get good kids back and we go from there. “You can’t rate the season on one meet. Overall, we’ve come a long ways. I’m still just as happy. You always want to get better, that’s the next thing.” A three-time state place winner and four-time state qualifier, Hansen was part of two team state runner-up finishes. “It’s been an amazing four years running in the West Fork uniform – I’ve accomplished some great things like becoming West Fork’s first fourtime state qualifier and placing three times,” Hansen said. “I’m also very proud of our team accomplishments, like our two state runner-ups and both boys’ and girls’ teams making it to state this year. I’ve been honored to have some of the best teammates and best coach around.”

BY KRISTI NIXON FORT DODGE – With about 1 kilometer to go, West Fork’s Kenna Weaver was out of medal contention. She was running with noticeable pain, grabbing her side as she went. But when Weaver reached the bridge at Fort Dodge’s Lakeside Municipal Golf Course, that is when she kicked it in. “Right after that bridge, coach always practices the last 1K, saying, ‘you do the passing, no one passes you,’” Weaver said. “I was 18th or 20th at that time, it was the last 800 is when I really went. “I don’t really know (what it was). I couldn’t get it under control. It was just a common side ache that runners (sometimes) get. I deal with it and pulled out of it toward the end. It was tough.” With the late kick, Weaver finished 10th overall in the 143-runner field and fifth in team scoring to pace West Fork to a 13th-place team finish among 15. West Fork coach Mark Twedt said he knows Weaver, a sophomore and two-time place winner, can do better. “She was way back,” Twedt said. “She can’t do that when it really counts and we’ve talked about this. I mean, she ended up getting all-state, 10th,

better than she did last year; but I think the one thing she can learn is she needs to work harder than she does. “Honestly, she gets by on a lot of talent and that’s bottom line.” She clocked in at 20 minutes, 22.6 seconds, passing two quality runners right at the finish line for top10, which is exactly what Weaver said was her goal. “I will move up last year, little by little,” Weaver said. “My time, I wasn’t happy, but 10th is 10th and I’ll take it. I’ll work this summer and come back next year.” Included in team scoring is threetime qualifier Talia Rowe (30 th), Maddison Shupe (61st), Miranda Dixon (82nd) and Kennedy Maske (90th). “Both of our teams finished 13th,” Twedt said. “If you asked me two weeks ago if I would have taken both of our teams making it and finishing 13th, I would have said, ‘yeah!’ It

means we got here. “This year, it was really important for both teams to get here. It’s different than it was in the past. Then it was more like, ‘okay, let’s get through districts to get to state.’ This year, it was ‘we need to grow to get to state.’ I think we have a lot of young kids with good experience this year.” Six of the seven runners who competed for the Warhawks should return in 2017. The lone graduate is Shupe. Earlier in the season, Shupe’s foot was in a boot, which Twedt pointed out had never entirely healed despite her competing in two Fall sports. “Shupe had been running hurt,” Twedt said. “Last year, you tell me her foot is hurt and she isn’t going to be able to run as well and all the young kids coming up, for us to finish at state, we didn’t do too badly.”

Sheffield native selected for Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame Bob Jensen, founder of Fishing the Midwest, has recently been selected for 2017 induction to the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame. He will join over 300 individuals and organizations that have been inducted and enshrined to the Hall of Fame since 1980. A native of Sheffield, Bob Jensen, began fishing as a young boy and started his career in the fishing industry as a camp fish instructor in northern Minnesota. He was also a guide and tournament angler in his early years. From those roots, he went on to a career as a television and radio show host, noted outdoor writer and popular fishing seminar presenter. “I’m truly honored to be inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame,” Jensen said when asked about his upcoming induction. “I’m so fortunate to have been able to fish and explore so many waters across the Midwest. The biggest reward to my career in the fishing/marine industry though, is the opportunity I’ve had to work with so many really good people. It’s the people that have made the past 30 plus years so enjoyable.” Some of highlights of Jensen’s career include: • Co-author of four top-selling books on walleye fishing. • Author of fishing columns and “how to” fishing articles that have been published over 150,000 times in general circulation newspapers and outdoor magazines. • Produced and hosted over 300 full-length fishing television shows. These shows appeared on network affiliates and cable carriers throughout the Midwest. In many markets, Fishing the Midwest continues to be

Counting down the days It’s almost over. Thank the deity of your choosing because this is America and, for at least the next few days, the First Amendment still gives you that right. But no, this column is not about Donald Trump, or even the presidential race at all. Plenty of print has been dedicated to the disaster at the top of the ticket. Instead, let’s take a step back and remember how we got to this point. A point where so many people are so sick and tired of our dysfunctional government that a candidate whose scandals are too numerous to list has still made it within spitting distance of the presidency simply by running on the platform of “burn it all to the ground.” It’s not likely that Trump will win. Anything could happen, but it’s looking increasingly likely that President Trump will not be “draining the swamp.” Which is a shame because that’s probably the one campaign issue he’s right about. In fact, I can think of a particular turtle that definitely needs to be relocated out of Washington D.C. Unfortunately, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn’t up for re-election until 2020. Fortunately, many of McConnell’s fellow Republican congressmen are up for re-election this year. So, before we go to the polls and finish this election for good, let’s take a walk down memory lane. Remember back to that ancient time of 2008 when President George W. Bush’s eight year disaster finished big with the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. The newly elected President Obama came into office with an overwhelming popular mandate to fix the mess. Republicans at this point had two options. Concede defeat gracefully and work with the Democratic majority to set things right; or dig in, double down and prevent anybody from doing anything in the hopes that if they could keep the President from doing anything productive, people would vote them back into power. They chose the latter. Before President Obama even took office, Republican leadership made the decision to turn every issue, big or small, into a partisan battle. Obama’s first term in office was

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer met by a record setting number of Republican filibusters, including the filibuster of a bill to provide medical care for 9/11 first responders. As former Senator George Vonovich famously admitted, “If he was for it, we had to be against it.” Compromise and bi-partisan cooperation on even the most pragmatic of issues was taken off the GOP platform. The result was the least productive congress since before World War II and the fostering of a toxic political environment that lead to our current political fiasco. Remember 2011, when the word “debt” triggered Republicans into a fiscally suicidal march against raising the debt ceiling, a non-controversial matter of business that sounds bad but really just means that the United States government promises to pay their bills. This dangerously irresponsible game of chicken with the economy threatened an international stock market crash and resulted in the downgrading of the government’s credit rating. One year later, they were at it again. With the Bush Tax Cuts set to expire at the end of 2012, it was up to Congress to decide whether or not to extend them. Democrats proposed to extend the tax cuts for everybody making less than $250,000. This proposal was filibustered in the Senate by Republicans, who decided that if the wealthy didn’t get to keep their tax break, nobody would. Make no mistake, the GOP used my paycheck and yours as leverage to negotiate for continuing tax breaks for the wealthy. Then we get to 2013. After their 45th failed attempt to kill the Affordable Care Act, Congressional Republicans decided to just stop funding the government all together, resulting in a 16-day government shutdown that put 800,000 people on furlough, shut down government services across the country and cost the economy billions of dollars. This is not how you govern.

Secretary of Agriculture comments on Iowa crops Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. “The dry weather this past week has allowed farmers to make very good progress and harvest is now 52 percent complete for corn and 77 percent for beans,” Northey said. “It is also great to see an increasing number of fields turn green as we have seen good conditions for cover crop growth this fall.”

Area fishing report released 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 52 degrees. The fish cleaning station at McIntosh is closed for the season. The bathrooms at Ventu-

ra Access and the Ventura Jetties are also closed. The courtesy docks at Main Street, McIntosh and Ventura boat ramps have been removed. The State fishing dock and the courtesy dock at the south shore access are still in but will be removed any day. Yellow bass, good. Action has been good at Hy-Vee reef, State Reef, the sandy shoreline near the Ventian Village mouth, McIntosh swim beach, the hump on the lit-

tle lake out from McIntosh swim beach and the inlet from the Ventura Marsh. Tip a small jig with a minnow or a piece of cut bait and bump it along the bottom. Walleye, fair. Some walleyes are being caught near the Ventura grade. Use a jig and 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

This is a party that has put politics over pragmatism at every opportunity. Their obstruction has done untold economic harm to this nation and only resulted in further political polarization. And it goes on today as Judge Merrick Garland continues to set the record for the longest wait for a Supreme Court nomination hearing in U.S. history. Garland will probably not fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia. Not because he’s unqualified, he is. Not because he’s too liberal, he’s as centrist a pick as you’ll ever see. He won’t be selected because Republican leadership has never accepted that Barack Obama was voted in as President and they aren’t going to start now. And that obstruction is set to continue. I n Ma rch, Senate Major it y Leader Mitch McConnell and our very own Senator Chuck Grassley excused their abandonment of responsibility by saying that the next president should be the one to choose Scalia’s replacement. Apparently the people who decided Barack Obama should be president in 2012 weren’t good enough to listen to. Today, before this election is even over, they’re already preparing to move the goal posts further. Hillary Clinton hasn’t even been elected yet, but if she is, congressional Republicans are already throwing around the idea that that they’ll continue to hold up the process for another four years. In this, the GOP and Donald Trump couldn’t be more alike. They only accept the results of the elections they win. And don’t even start with “both parties are equally bad” line. They aren’t. You know they aren’t. Being the opposition party means finding compromise, not sabotaging the foundation of our civilization. The damage the Republican party has done to our system of government is objective reality. So when you go to the polls next week, don’t just think about the White House. That’s only one branch of power. If you really want to “drain the swamp,” down ticket is where you start. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and can’t wait to get back to the regularly scheduled political drama.

bed, the island or Dodges point. Black crappie, fair. Anglers have caught a few in the Baptist camp area out near 10 contour. Muskellunge, fair. Musky fishing has been decent. October is usually a good month for musky fishing. Yellow perch, fair. Yellow perch are hitting by the grade on 1/16 ounce black leadhead with a piece of cut bait or crawler.

Rice Lake: Fishing has been good; best bite is right at dusk or dawn due to the clear water. Walleye, good. Anglers have occasionally caught limits of walleyes measuring 14-17 inches. Fishing has been best near the deeper water and shoreline off the Park point. Yellow perch, good. Anglers are catching eight to 12.5 inch perch on minnows or cut bait.

PUBLIC NOTICE Board of Supervisors OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS FRANKLIN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS UNAPPROVED MINUTES OCTOBER 24, 2016 Be it duly noted these minutes of 10/24/16 are UNOFFICIAL minutes. The Board of Supervisors met in regular session at 8:30 a.m., with Board members Corey Eberling-Chairman and Gary McVicker present; Michael Nolte absent. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, approves the agenda as submitted. All ayes, motion carried. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, approves the minutes of 10/17/16. All ayes. Motion carried. Committee Updates: Central Iowa Juvenile Detention; FCDA; DD 34 inspection with Lee Gallentine and Nolan Rolene-asking if Weidemann (contractor) could widen the grass way for a small fee; and C13 concerns. Tom Birdsell-Castle Dick & Kelch reviewed the County’s Tort Liability Insurance Renewal. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, opens at 10 a.m., a Public Hearing to possibly adopt Resolution 2016-39: Approving a Development Agreement with NEW Cooperative, Inc., Authorizing Tax Increment Payments and Pledging Certain Tax Increment Revenues to the Payment of the Agreement. All ayes, motion carried. Present was: Bob Dobson-Controller New Cooperative Inc., Karen Mitchell-FCDA Director and John Danos-Dorsey Whitney Bonding Attorney via phone. Timelines in the Agreement were questioned by New Coop and changes were requested by Dobson to adjust to their building timeline. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, closes the Public Hearing at 10:22 a.m. All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, delays action on the adoption of Resolution 2016-39 until John Danos, Bonding Attorney, has time to revise timelines in the Agreement per changes requested by New Coop and the Board’s agreeing to proceed with those changes at today’s meeting. Said changes and action will be addressed at the 10/31/2016 Board meeting. All ayes, motion carried. Lee Gallentine-Ryken Engineering was present to explain multiple drainage district matters. Also present was Sandy Eckhardt-Drainage Clerk. Drainage districts discussed were: JDD 6-141 a map was provided identifying televised areas. Gallentine recommended putting a hold on this work order for repair and wait until next summer/fall to determine if the need is still warranted. Supervisors agreed to wait and put on hold to look at in the fall of 2017. DD 9, Sub 1 Bradford area. Gallentine excavated at the intake, determining upstream was Àowing slowly and downstream Àowing slowly with tree roots (from alley to railroad) and grease. There is no blockage but there is a constriction in the tile somewhere downstream and he would like to do more televising from downstream going north. The Board agreed to start downstream and televise north and see if there is an issue around the railroad area or somewhere in the tile to possibly ¿nd what the total problem is. Gallentine will proceed. JDD 4-118 Gallentine hasn’t done anything at this location. Vanness brothers, Bob Parks and Hensel’s have all sited there being a problem northwest of I-35 and Hwy 3. The Board requests Eckhardt prepare work orders with names associated with said past requests and then requests Gallentine televise the area at Bob Parks at Dogwood and televise each direction to see what might be found. DD 29 Gallentine has not found any blockage to date and has not found any issues at this time. The only conclusion he can come up with is the tile is too small for the capacity of water it is taking. JDD 3-111 Eberling looked into and noted that district tile doesn’t have much grade. Eberling will approach Vanness to see what the problem is and possibly ¿ll out a work order at that time. Christa Wiarda, Health Nurse Director, met to update the Board on the Nurses Department. No action taken. Ryan Peterson-Maintenance, requests the County reimburse him regarding the use of a personal owned cell phone rather than using two phones. The Board agreed for Peterson to obtain a personal smart phone and receive maximum reimbursement for using said phone for business purposes, reducing the need to carry two phones.

The Condition Assessment & Budgetary Cost Estimate for 5 copper Courthouse statues, provided by Conservation Solutions, Inc., Clinton, MD was delayed due to not receiving the Contract and paperwork and will be addressed at a later time.
