SERVING CERRO GORDO COUNTY AND THE COMMUNITIES OF ROCKWELL, SWALEDALE, MESERVEY, THORNTON & DOUGHERTY

Veterans Day program is Nov. 11 in Rockwell The West Fork eighth grade U.S. History Class invites area community members to join them as they honor local veterans on Friday, Nov. 11 at 10 a.m., at the West Fork Rockwell campus gym. The program will honor veteran’s service with student presentations and music by the West Fork chorus and band. Special guest will be Jake Miller, of Thornton. Jake’s service includes: Iraqi Freedom, 2002-06 in the U.S. Army on active duty and from 2008-10 on Army Reserve . The United Methodist Church women will provide coffee and cookies for veteran’s and community members following the program.

Spirit of West Fork seeks donations, gifts for ʻGiving Treeʼ The “Spirit Program” is designed to assist families during the holiday season. We have many families with young children that are in need and we are asking for your support to make this year’s event successful. We are asking for gifts/financial donations. We have appreciated your support during previous years and know the communities of West Fork will be very supportive again this year. We look forward to working with you to help local children experience the Magic of the Holiday Season and the warmth of their community. We have sent out applications to families asking them to list their children’s clothing sizes and needs and have requested they be returned by Nov. 16. We will plan to have all “Giving Tree” ornaments prepared by Tuesday, Nov. 22 for delivery to the banks within our district and we would request that ”Giving Tree” ornaments and gifts be returned to either school office by Friday, Dec. 9 so we can take care of packaging items for each home prior to our delivery dates. If you would like to make a cash donation, please have the money submitted to one of the school offices by Friday, Dec. 16, or if you wish to send it, please mail your donation to: West Fork CSD, Spirit of West Fork Acct., PO Box 60, Rockwell, IA 50469. This year, the committee has partnered with student leaders in the district’s National Honor Society and plans are being made to have students reaching out into the communities to form partnerships with other organizations. At this time we have plans for students to create a fundraising campaign with local businesses, form partnerships with local churches, and arrange for additional fundraising activities. We would like to thank you for your support of the children and families of our community. Spirit of West Fork Committee

I don’t hide who or what I am from anybody. If you don’t like it, I don’t care.

Rick Whitney has been Rockwell’s Police Chief for 15 years. ZACH CLEMENS PHOTO in Iraq. He was a convey escort, making sure supplies got to troops in the field, at one point having over 85 percent of all supplies going through his station. He has seen friends and fellow soldiers die, and had to deal with everything from violence and death to 130-degree heat and even desert hyenas. After he returned home, he resumed his role as Police Chief, while still serving in the National Guard. During his training a recruiter would come in and try to get Whitney to give him names of teenagers to recruit and for each one that signed up he would get $1000, yet Whitney would never do it. “I told him that if I give the names

of local kids, and they get killed,” Whitney said. “Then everyday I would have to look at their family in the streets and I would know I sold their son’s soul for $1000.” Whitney cares about the community, he cares about the people he watches over. Even though it can be frustrating at times. “Budget constraints can be frustrating,” Whitney said. Sometimes the city is unable to pay for all the equipment he needs, and he will purchase it himself. Rockwell is a close-knit community, and just about everyone knows where the Whitney family lives. Many times, residents will just run over to his house when they need police assistance. This causes him to

constantly be on-call, never actually knowing if someone will need his help or not. He enjoys helping his fellow neighbors though, and the job can definitely have its entertainment. “Going through a window at two in the morning can be fun,” Whitney said with a smile. “I like helping kids, pointing them in the right direction, saving them time or grief.” He is sometimes politically incorrect, brash and maybe curses a bit more than he should, but he doesn’t apologize for who he is, he embraces it. “I don’t hide who or what I am from anybody,” he said. “If you don’t like it, I don’t care.”

Thornton Council discusses a Rockwell Council discusses proposed water line ordinance plating requirements BY ZACH CLEMENS The Thornton City Council discussed the first reading of a new proposed amendment to the code of ordinances for Thornton that has to do with the installation of service pipe and the responsibility for the service line. The amended ordinance reads that the city would install and maintain the portion of the service line from the main to the curb stop, including the curb stop at the lot or easement line, with the necessary tap and fittings. The ordinance goes on to state that if the city has to shut off the water for “non-payment of utility bills, customer damage, negligence or any other reason caused by the customer and the curb stop malfunctions or breaks, it shall be the customer’s

responsibility to replace said curb stop.” Councilwoman Betty Jensen had some questions about how often a shutoff would break, and if the ordinance was written properly. “I just want to make sure the next people [on City Council] see this the same way we see it,” Jensen said. Mayor Crowell stated that a lot of other towns, like Rockwell, Swaledale and Shell Rock already have an ordinance like this in place. The Council approved the first reading of the amended ordinance, but did not waive the second reading, as Councilwoman Jensen said she wanted to get back with residents who had some concerns about it. The Council discussed the different nuisance properties around town

and what each property owner has been doing to clean up their lot. The community center had a roof leak above the sink in the kitchen. The City Council contacted the company that installed the roof, as Thornton still had a warranty on the roof. The company came and inspected the roof, and completed the repairs. The City Clerk was then called by the roofing company for a billing address, and the Clerk told the company they did not have authorization to do the repairs in the first place, and the roof was still under warranty. The company has not been in contact since then. The November recycling date is the 10th, and the Council asks that everyone please have their recyclables on the curb by 8 a.m.

Expected corn yields causes outdoor storage The North Iowa Co-Op is storing 350,000 bushels in an outside bunker BY ZACH CLEMENS The North Iowa Co-Op in Thornton has been storing excess corn yields outside in a holding bunker. There about 350,000 bushels of corn being stored in an outside bunker, according to Chuck Schaefer from the Co-Op. He said they expected the high corn yields and it is typical to store the corn outdoors. “This is our 9th year in a row of doing this,” Schaefer

said. “Our job is to provide a service to the farmers and it works out very well.” Schaefer said that they are about 95 percent done with the harvest, and once the harvest is complete, they will pick up all the corn stored outdoors. “We’ll get it all picked up before Thanksgiving,” Schaefer said. Once the corn is picked up it goes directly to the local ethanol plant and is sold to them.

BY ZACH CLEMENS The Rockwell City Council had the first of their two monthly meetings on Wednesday, November 2 and here are the highlights according to the unapproved minutes: The Council again discussed plating requirements for the property purchased by Scott and Bria Hansen, and their desire to build a home on it. Joe Myhre, from the North Iowa Council of Governments, was in attendance to discuss the issue with the Hansen’s and the Council. Myhre said it does raise concerns in regards utilities, storm sewers, street access and the city needs to consider the long-range orderly growth of the community. He also noted that a conditional use permit could be granted to allow for residential use, and can be taxed as residential. He also said that the Council has the right to waive any ordinance to allow for such issues. The Council approved a declaration of utility easements, as well as

a declaration of easements affecting the driveway, and also waived the hookup to the sanitary sewer so the Hansen’s could put in a septic tank. The Council did require the Hansen’s to agree to hook into the system if the neighborhood was to be developed. In other news, Tom Hensley, a public works employee, told the Council that he has passed the water treatment test for certification. He said he still had two more tests to take, one for water distribution, and one for wastewater testing. The Council decided to compensate Hensley for completing these certifications, allowing a 75 cent increase in pay after each of the three certifications were completed. The Council also approved $100 a month increase for the additional work City Clerk Lorna Weier now does for the Rockwell Public Library. The next Rockwell City Council meeting will be on Wednesday, November 16, at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Rockwell Legion hosting a Veteran’s Day potluck All Legion, Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the Legion and Social Members are welcome to attend a Veteran’s Day potluck put on by Legion Post 208 of Rockwell. It will be Saturday, November 12 at 6 p.m. The Legion ask that you please bring a hot dish, and a salad or dessert to share. Main dishes will be provided by the Legion.

Veterans’ Day observed Join Hy-Vee’s Homefront Effort and PIONEER Help Serve Our Nation’s Veterans ENTERPRISE To honor our nation’s veterans, Hy-Vee is encouraging its customers to join its Hy-Vee Homefront initiative and serve the men and women who have served America. The HyVee Homefront initiative is comprised of several company efforts, including complimentary Veterans Day breakfasts at all Hy-Vee stores, Honor Flights and veterans and military member employee recruitment. Through the Hy-Vee “Round Up for the Homefront� program, customers can join Hy-Vee in supporting veterans and military members when they check out today through Nov. 13 at the company’s 242 grocery stores across eight Midwestern states. Customers can participate by simply “rounding up� their purchases to the next dollar — or a desired dollar amount — at the checkout. Hy-Vee will match customer donations, up to $100,000. “Hy-Vee Homefront is our way of partnering with our customers to say thank you to those who have served our country,� said Brad Waller, as-

Local library director attends national conference The Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL) annual conference took place on October 27-29th in Fargo, North Dakota, and the Meservey Library was able to let their director, Chelsea Price, attend. Chelsea was among more than 500 library directors and staff that attended the 3-day conference. Along with visiting 25+ vendors from various library-related companies and speaking with accomplished directors and authors, Chelsea also attended several helpful workshops, including Digital Storytelling for Your Library and New Directions for Rural Libraries. She hopes to incorporate what she learned into new ideas she has for the Meservey Library. Next year’s ARSL conference will take place in St. George, Utah. In other Meservey Library news, the weekly exercise program is going strong - each Wednesday evening from 6:00-6:30, a light-moderate exercise video is shown. The library also recently received a generous grant from the Bertha Stebens Charitable Foundation and have purchased a new stainless steel outdoor bookdrop. Another exciting new development is the library’s new website, put together by Chelsea Price, which will be going live in the next few weeks. The site can be found at www.meservey.lib.ia.us.

Hope for the Warriors is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families and the families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty. Operation First Response helps meet the immediate personal and financial needs of wounded military members and their families.

As part of the recruitment initiative, Hy-Vee offers newly hired veterans a relocation package that includes a $5,000 signing bonus with a two-year commitment, transportation of household goods and an allowance on closing costs of a home purchase through Midwest Heritage. In addition, all veterans and activeduty military members receive a paid day off on Veterans Day, career placement assistance for their spouses or family members, and coordination of military-related community outreach programs.

Red Cross needs blood donations to help ensure a sufficient supply throughout the holidays

Canvass of 2016 General Election

This November, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give the perfect gift – a blood donation – to help ensure a sufficient blood supply throughout the holiday season. A decline in donations occurs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when donors are busy with family gatherings and travel. However, patients don’t get a holiday break from needing lifesaving transfusions. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Timothy Sheely’s wife received 12 units of blood products during emergency surgery after the birth of their son. “If it had not been for blood donors, she may not have survived that ordeal, but thanks to generous blood donors, I still have a wife and my kids still have their Mom,� he said. “I can’t possibly

Voices heard It’s over. For better or worse, this terrible election is over. Or at least it will be by the time you read this. Right now, as I type this, there is an approximately 75 percent chance I will be breathing a sigh of relief and a 25 percent chance I will be refreshing myself on passport requirements. If you’re reading this, then you already know the results of the election. Lucky you. I, on the other hand, have to write a column for a world that will, one way or the other, be fundamentally changed before it sees print. It’s frustrating. The election is the one topic worth writing about, but anything I write at this point will be seen too late to matter. So, ignoring the pink elephant in the room, what else is there to comment on? Well… how about the video game voice actor’s strike? That’s something that likely won’t be resolved before Wednesday. Here’s the scoop. More than a year ago the Screen Actor’s Guilt (SAGAFTRA) entered into negotiations with a conglomerate of major video game publishers to update their contracts for video game voice work. Among their demands were shorter sessions for vocally strenuous recording, stunt coordination for roles that utilize motion capture, transparency over what game they are working on before taking the part, and residual payments for successful games. Most of these conditions aren’t very controversial. Nobody wants to see a voice actor face plant on the ground during motion capture because a stunt coordinator wasn’t around to properly secure a harness. Likewise, when your recording session involves hours of screaming, yelling, and grunt-

ing, it makes sense to break them up into shorter sessions. A hoarse voice actor isn’t good for anybody. But, not surprisingly, the issue comes down to money. The voice actors guild has asked for up to four secondary payments of 25 percent of their original session payment, to be paid out whenever a game sells 2 million units of a game. Residual payments like these are common for movies and television, but less so for video games. Instead, representatives of the game developers offered a nine percent raise to the base rate. It was not accepted. Unable to come to agreement, the voice actors are now on strike. This is a tricky conundrum. On the one hand, voice actors are asking the games industry to adapt themselves to the Hollywood model. Developers don’t get residuals and the amount they contribute to a game’s success is far and away more substantial than voice acting. Moreover, it’s not like voice actors have the kind of leverage they do when it comes to other forms of voice work. Creating a compelling animated feature without voice actors would be pretty difficult, but video games got along without voice acting just fine for years. On the other hand, the kind of video games that these publishers make don’t really exist without voice acting. Warner Bros. Interactive released the best Batman movies ever made. Those movies just happened to play out between segments of gameplay. Likewise, nobody ever played a Mass Effect game because it was a great shooter, they played it because it was a compelling work of science fiction driven by professional grade voice talent. And while developers may not get

We all can help fight human trafficking It’s hard to fathom that human trafficking happens at all, much less that it is a growing problem here in the heartland. Human trafficking is the buying and selling of people, who are often forced into sex work or other forms of slavery. Iowa’s interstate highways are prime routes for human traffickers transporting victims, so we must be vigilant. Iowa is combatting human trafficking through public awareness, training for law enforcement and tougher punishments for those who commit this heinous crime. Coordinated local, state and federal efforts have rescued some victims, but human trafficking still goes mostly unnoticed. We’re continuing to update Iowa’s human trafficking law as we learn more about the crime and the unique situation of victims. For example, this year: • We created an Office to Combat Human Trafficking to lead and coordinate Iowa’s anti-trafficking efforts and to be the point of contact for federal, state and local law enforcement

(SF 2191, HF 2459). • We defined sex trafficking of minors as child abuse, and set the expectation that state agencies and our partners in the fight against child abuse and trafficking recognize and respond to the crime (SF 2258). • To bring justice to more victims, we extend the statute of limitations for kidnapping and human trafficking of children to the victim’s 28th birthday, or three years after a perpetrator is identified through DNA testing, whichever is later (HF 2278). You can help fight human trafficking, too. Recognizing the signs is the first step in identifying victims and saving lives. Here are some things to look for: • Does the person appear disconnected from family, friends and regular activities? • Has a child stopped attending school? • Has the person shown a change in behavior? • Is the person disoriented or confused? • Do they show signs of mental or physical abuse?

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer residuals, they do get steady salaries and benefits. Voice actors may only get paid for working for a few hours a month, but in between those recording sessions are hours of auditions, research, and training. On the other other hand, that’s really just an argument for paying the voice actors more up-front. Doing the job has to be worth their time. If the developers are willing to offer higher base pay, then shouldn’t that be enough? On the other other other hand, getting residual payments for successful games may net voice actors more money, but only on the games that can afford to pay them more. This leaves the upfront cost lower, making voice acting a feature smaller games can afford to include. There is certainly room to see both sides. Voice actors are demanding uncommonly generous compensation for the video game industry while providing a service of questionable value. On the other hand, you get what you pay for. Unless these developers want to go back to text boxes or having programmers and relatives do the voice work for their games, they might have to play ball. I’m sure a compromise can be made that works for both sides. And if it can be made here, maybe there’s hope for the future resident of the White House. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and doesn’t have a problem with text boxes.

A step back For the first time in half a decade, the Denver Broncos are not in first place in the AFC West. As a die-hard Broncos fan, it pains me to write this but: the Silver and Black are back. Injuries piled up for Denver, they played with their fourth and fifth cornerback, and had their best coverage linebacker—Brandon Marshall—in and out with a hamstring issue, then they saw their best run stopper and a top pass rusher—Derek Wolfe go down to a hairline fracture to his elbow. It was not a very fun night to be a Broncos fan. The Raiders gashed the Denver defense for 218 yards rushing on 43 carries and three touchdowns by Latavius Murray. Yes, Denver’s self-proclaimed No Fly Zone didn’t let Derek Carr throw the ball around the field, only compiling 179 yards through the air on 31 attempts, after a week where he threw 59 times for 500 yards. The Raiders didn’t have to throw it though, because they ran the ball down Denver’s throat. It doesn’t help that Denver’s offense started the game with four 3-and-outs, and didn’t have a first down until 10 minutes left in the first half, or the Broncos gained a measly 33 yards rushing the entire game. It also doesn’t help that the Oakland of-

fense was on the field for 41 minutes of a 60 minutes game. Denver is now in third place in the best division in football, behind 7-2 Oakland, and the 6-2 Chiefs. Derek Carr is a rising star, with a talented group of weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Yet they will only go as far as their defense will take them, because things get tighter in the playoffs, yards become harder to come by. Your team can have the best offense of all time, and still get dominated in the Super Bowl, just ask Peyton Manning about Super Bowl XLVIII, or Cam Newton about Super Bowl 50. Sam Bradford has the dubious distinction of being the only quarterback in the last five years to start a drive in the red zone, and end the drive by punting the football. What team was the last to perform this feat? You guessed it, the St. Louis Rams, quarterbacked by the one and only Sam Bradford. The Minnesota Vikings have lost three straight, and have definitely taken a step back, with the defense allowing over 20 points in those three games. With the shock of Norv Turner suddenly resigning, I fear that it will get worse for Vikings fans before it gets better. The Steelers again played a clunk-

PIGSKIN PONDERING:: Zach Clemens er, losing to the Ravens 21-14. Both teams are 4-4 and looking like they wont be going far into the post season, which ever team backs into the division title. We are officially into the second half of the NFL season, and these next two months are where the contenders are separated from pretenders. The drama will only increase from here on out.

issue is between the property owners. Siefken explained that there was eleven inches of rain over those days and the surface water flows that way and the storm sewers were all full. Attorney Berry stated that is the city storm sewer system could not take all of the water some of it could be a city issue. Attorney Berry suggested that the City have an engineer look at this and split the cost with the property owners and the city. Mayor Bills asked to have cost estimates from an engineer to look at this problem. Attorney Berry stated that it is great working with the City of Rockwell and seeing the Council work with the residents and be proactive. Attorney Berry and Symonds left the meeting.

Mayor Bills asked if Siefken had a bid from Ries to grade the property by the elevator. Siefken stated he has not. Siefken reported to the Council that he has been in contact with Heartland Asphalt to address some issues with the street work done. Mayor Bills did not feel that the work at Stop N Shop was done as quoted. Siefken stated that he had reviewed the bid and this was done as stated. Siefken told the Council he had Ries bring in two loads of black dirt to repair the areas that have been dug up for water repairs. Hensley told the Council that he has passed the water treatment test for certification. Hensley noted he has two more test to take for water distribution and the waste water testing. Hensley asked about compensation for the certifications. Council discussed this and Brown also asked about compensating Weier for the extra work for the Library. Koob moved to allow for a seventy-five cent increase in wages after each of the three certifications needed for city employees is completed, with Hensley receiving the seventy-five cent increase in this pay period. Motion seconded by Brown, carried unanimously. Koob also moved to give Weier $100 per month increase for the additional work for the Library to be included in the Clerks regular salary. Motion seconded by Johnson, carried unanimously. Hensley stated that their list includes finishing flushing, ditch work, service lines, mowing ditches, winterizing the pool, and getting ready for winter. Siefken noted he will be getting sand, salt and chloride. Siefken noted that the sewer jetter is still being worked on; the repair estimate is about $3,700.

Adam Wedmore was present on behalf of the Rockwell-Swaledale EMT group to report on the new ambulance. Wedmore thanked the Council for the financial support, and commented that this will be a great asset for the EMT. Wedmore stated they have had nine calls in the week and a half that the new rig has been in service. Wedmore stayed for the meeting to allow all to take a

look at the new ambulance. Joe Myhre, of NIACOG, was present to give the Council some back ground and information on plating requirements in regards to the property purchased by Scott and Bria Hansen. Myhre stated that this raises concerns with utilities, storm sewers, street access, and the city needs to consider the long range orderly growth of the community. Myhre noted a conditional use permit can be granted by the BOA to allow for residential use in AG, and be taxed as residential, and stated the Council has the right to waive any ordinance to allow for such issues. Myhre noted the easement waivers that the Hansen’s Attorney Vervaecke has prepared for the property address these issues. Attorney Vervaecke felt that they have addressed the concerns in all of the issues raised. Attorney Vervaecke stated that they have allowed for a ten foot easement around the property for utilities and have a written easement for the driveway and the utilities. Attorney Berry felt that Myhre was spot on with the issues at hand and stated that the goal is to grow our community and generate more property taxes, families for the school and still be fair to the private developers. Attorney Berry felt the agreements put together address all of the issues needing to allow for the Hansen’s to build their home. Following discussion, Koob moved to approve the declaration of utility easements over parcel “H” as described and depicted on the plat of survey dated June 23, 2016 and filed as document no. 2016-3855 with Scott and Bria Hansen and the City of Rockwell. Motion seconded by Brown, carried unanimously. Johnson moved to approve the declaration of easements affecting driveway easement established by agreement document 2002-2191 and amended by document 2016-4450 between Marv and Rebecca Johnson, the Rockwell Lions Club and the City of Rockwell. Motion seconded by Koob, carried unanimously. Brown moved to approve waive the hookup to the sanitary sewer for Scott and Bria Hansen property, allowing for them to put in a septic system, and requiring them to ban the septic system and hook into city sanitary sewer should the property be developed and sanitary sewer brought closer to their property and allowing the Hansen’s to hook into city water at their expense. Motion seconded by Wentz, carried unanimously. Hanig, Steenhard, Jones, Hansen’s’, Vervaecke and Myhre left the meeting. Siefken told the Council that Gerald Symonds was present for any questions to him in reference to the drainage issues from the previous rains. Symonds stated that he started improvements on the property when he moved in twenty years ago; no one had told him he was doing anything wrong. Symonds noted that about eight years ago there were issues with the heavy rains not draining and homes had water damage. Siefken stated that at that time Symonds put in the fifteen inch tile to move the water. Symonds noted there has not been any problem until this year. Attorney Berry felt this
