“
It’ll be the first thing
on the agenda at the
Jan. 2 meeting.
Gossweiler turned in the petition the next day which will
force the vote.
“The petition trumps the appointment,” said Cerro Gordo
County Auditor Ken Klein.
“The appointment is valid until
the special election results are
final. He’s [Wentz] is in there
until whoever wins.”
Kline said the council must
call an election and set the date
at their next meeting. Rockwell
Mayor Steve Karabatsos, whose
term will expire before the meeting, said he will suggest the new
council and mayor pick Feb. 11
to host the vote.
“It’ll be the first thing on
the agenda at the Jan. 2 meeting,” Karabatsos said. “I could
have picked Feb. 4, but that just
doesn’t give us very much wiggle room.”
Candidacy papers from citizens interested in running in the
special election would be due on
Friday, Jan. 17, if the council decides to go ahead with the Feb.
11 vote date. Each person much
get at least 10 signatures from
eligible city voters to get their
name on the ballot. Wentz could
retain the seat if he files papers
and wins the election. The winner would sit on the council for
the remaining two years left on
Laudner’s term.
The council felt the appointment would reflect the voters’
choice, but they also thought
it would save taxpayers some
money. Kline said the cost of a
special election will run around
$1,400 to pay for ballots, election workers and other expenses.
“We cut corners where we
can, but I just don’t see this
costing much less than that,” he
said.
Kline said special elections
are somewhat rare, but not unheard of. He explained they’re
usually called for bond issues or
other public measures.
“They don’t happen that often,” he said. “Once a year, that
would be my guess. Maybe even
once every couple of years.”
Rockwell bids farewell to mayor and three councilmen; Wentz appointed Dec. 18
By Nick Pedley
It was a night filled with
goodbyes and thank-yous Dec.
19 when the Rockwell City
Council held their final meeting
of 2013.
Outgoing Mayor Steve Karabatsos and councilmen Kenny
Nielsen and Adam Wedmore sat
through their final session with
little fanfare. A short agenda
with few business items led to
one of the quickest meetings
of the entire year. Councilman
Gary Akins, who will also see
his term expire at year’s end,
was absent from the meeting.
None of the four men chose
to seek re-election this year.
“I’d just like to say I enjoyed my two years serving in
this position,” said Karabatsos.
“When you’re sitting here, and
you’re disagreeing with each
other, and maybe even the citizens are unhappy, it’s important
you keep looking at the bigger
picture. There’s a lot going on
in this town, and there’s a lot of
thought that goes into that.”
Wedmore mirrored Karabatsos’ sentiments.
“It’s been a pleasure working
with my fellow council members, the great city employees
we have here in Rockwell and
the citizens for these past two
terms,” said Wedmore. “You
don’t know what you don’t
know until you’re sitting on this
side of the table.”
Nielsen agreed.
“It’s been a pleasure and a
learning experience. Like Adam
said, you don’t know what
you don’t know until you’re in
here,” he said.
Prior to their parting remarks,
the council handled a short business agenda with little discussion.
The group unanimously approved the appointment of Larry Wentz to fill the vacancy left
by Dave Laudner following his
move from Rockwell. The council decided in September to appoint the fourth-place finisher of
the November general election.
Three seats were up for grabs on
the ballot, and they felt appointing the fourth place finisher was
fair and representative of peoples’ choice – the council didn’t
know who would finish fourth
when they made their decision
three months ago.
“I visited with [Cerro Gordo
County Auditor] Ken Kline
about the legal protocol three

their final council meeting on Dec. 18. The trio, along with Councilman Gary Akins who was absent,
opted not to seek re-election this year. (Photo by Nick Pedley)
times before this, so we should
be good,” said Karabatsos.
Wentz’s tenure might be
short-lived, however. A petition
calling for a special election was
handed into City Clerk Lorna
Weier by Richard Gossweiler on
Dec. 19, one day after the council made the appointment. The
special election will most likely
occur in February, according to
Karabatsos and county Auditor
Ken Kline.
If Wentz files candidacy papers and wins the special election, he would retain Laudner’s
seat for the remaining two years
left on the term.
“Thank you, I appreciate it
you guys,” Wentz said following his appointment.
The council shifted their
sights to the final item of 2013.
They were supposed to discuss
next year’s budget, but Karabatsos said revenue estimates and
property tax evaluations are still
up in the air at this point. Statewide commercial property tax
rollbacks and other cuts have the
city guessing at next year’s finances, and Karabatsos thought
it would be best to hold off on
discussion until they’re given a
solid assessment.
“Not knowing what the reve-
nue is going to be and cuts in the
commercial taxes, we’re kind
of stymied with the budget,”
he said. “We’re just kind of at a
standstill until we get the rest of
it. I was hoping I’d have some
more information for you guys,
but it’ll have to wait.”
The council’s next meeting
is scheduled for Thursday, Jan.
2, at 7 p.m. The group agreed
to move it back a day because
the New Year’s holiday falls
on a Wednesday. The meeting
will be the first for new councilmen James Bills, Tom Worley
and Tim Brown, as well as new
mayor Bill “Spud” Sheldon.

Karabatsos recalls 8 years in mayor’s chair at Rockwell
By Nick Pedley
Rockwell Mayor Steve Karabatsos closed the book on an
eventful eight years last week
when the council adjourned for
the final time this year on Dec.
18.
Karabatsos first held office
from 1994 through 2000
and was elected again
in the fall of 2011.
His tenure was
highlighted by the
housing development on the northwest part of town,
the addition of the
medical clinic and
the purchase of the library’s new building on Main
Street. Many other projects dot
his four terms in the mayor’s
chair, and Karabatsos hoped his
legacy would be remembered
for its progressive and financially responsible community
betterment initiatives.
“I’m a strong believer in
saving and paying for stuff
before they’re finished,”
Karabatsos said. “My
own personal opinion
about taxing authority is that if you’re
asking and reaching
in people’s pockets,
you better have a
damn good reason.”
Karabatsos began his
first term as Rockwell’s mayor
during a rather tumultuous period in the community’s history.
Citizens were divided about the
proposed housing development,
and the future of the project was
uncertain after doubts began to
grow about how the city would
finance the addition. A proposed
bond issue ruffled some feathers
throughout Rockwell, and Karabatsos decided after a community meeting that he was going
to run for mayor.
“I knocked on every door
in town – even people I knew
weren’t going to vote for me,”
he said. “Some told me to leave,
others listened. They asked me
why I came to their door, and
I said, ‘Why not? Just because
you and I don’t necessarily get
along, that doesn’t mean there
isn’t something we can’t agree
on.’ ”
After winning his first election by a slim margin, Karabatsos got to work with the
council and pushed towards
the development’s finish. The
group finally hashed out a plan
that implemented a three-phase
schedule. The city would develop one-third of the land, and use
the revenue from that to start the
development of the next phase.
“We put together a plan and
got it done,” said Karabatsos.
“When it was finally completed
in 2000, there were 27 houses,
all bond-free.”
Karabatsos recalled numerous projects he and the council
worked on that helped improve
amenities in Rockwell. In addition to the new clinic and library,
the city’s sidewalks, street lights
and roads were refurbished on
Main Street during Karabatsos’
eight years. The Madison Street
bridge renovation was the largest issue in his last term from
2012 to 2013, and Karabatsos
said proactive planning was
again one of the factors in making the project a reality.
“Since we were proactive and
wanted to do something about
it, we got federal funding on the
first application, which rarely
happens. It was all because we
were proactive,” he said. “When
that bridge is finished, it’s going
to look like it belongs there and
not something that just got put
there.”
Karabatsos was thankful he
had such a supportive city staff
and progressive councils over
the years. He enjoyed being a
part of the many improvement
projects during the past two decades, and said Rockwell is a
true outlier compared to other
small towns. Of the eight coun-
ties that comprise the North
Iowa Council of Governments,
Rockwell’s township was one
of only two to post growth in recent years.
“We have to be doing something right here,” he said. “It’s
been nice to see some of your visions come to fruit and improve
the town like you thought they
would.”
Though he’s enjoyed living
in Rockwell and serving the
community on many boards and
committees, Karabatsos and his
wife, Sandy, plan to move away
from the area in March. Both
will retire from their jobs and
move into their home in Harpers
Ferry near the Mississippi River.
The couple has owned property
there since 1991 and used the
residence as a vacation home.
“It wasn’t an easy decision.
We asked our kids where they’d
like to see us after we retired,
and they told us that Rockwell
is home, but the river is where
we go to have fun. We just really like it there,” he said. “I’ve
thoroughly enjoyed the people
I’ve worked for, and I’d say I
was very fortunate to work for
them. The people here are very
good people.”

West Fork School Happenings
By Superintendent Darrin Strike
The Holiday break is upon us!
We have had a great first half of
the school year and the West Fork
Community should be proud of our
student body and their accomplishments thus far into the school year.
The holiday spirit was certainly
lifted by the energy of our students
performing for all who attended one
or more of the four music concerts
held in our district the past month.
Our middle school students in
grades 7 a 8 have now experienced a
semester of digital learning supported by the iPads purchased for them
prior to the start of the school year.
At the current time, West Fork students in grades 7-12 each have their
own device supplied by the district
and every K-4 elementary classroom
is equipped with at least five devices
to create a classroom learning center.
As a district, we have grown digitally through continuous professional development for our educators and
the acquisition of more electronic
learning devices. Our ultimate mission at the West Fork Community
School District is for our graduates
to be “successful learners, citizens,
and leaders” in the 21st Century and,
we see this transformation as a step
to prepare all students with the skills
for the technologically driven world
they will live in.
The Spirit of West Fork campaign this year was a huge success.
To date, this endeavor has served 31
families and 80 of our West Fork students. This program is driven by the
Spirit of West Fork committee which
is comprised of a group of school
employees and student leaders.
In addition, many local citizens ,
churches, and businesses supported
the program by purchasing gifts
from the ornament trees or providing the financial support necessary
to assist with purchasing food boxes,
clothing items, movie tickets, or other supporting gifts for the families.
On December 19 & 20, merchandise
was distributed to the families who
were overwhelmed by the kindness
and generosity exhibited by the
school district and our communities.
As we transition into the winter months, I would like to remind
parents to sign up for the “School
Alerts” program. Our district uses
this as our main venue for communicating adjustments in our regular
school schedule due to inclement
weather.
Step 1: Visit https://schoolalerts.
iowa.gov/
Step 2: Select “Sign Up”
Step 3: Follow the prompts to
set up an account and register to
receive alerts regarding “West Fork
Schools”. Questions? Contact the
superintendent’s office at 822-3236
or 892-4159 for assistance.
As we turn the calendar to January 2014, I am reaching out to parents to take an active role in the education of your child(ren). This can be
as simple as scheduling a time each
day to read with or to your child.
On a larger scale, West Fork CSD
receives a large amount of support from parent groups such as the
West Fork Booster Club, the West
Fork Music Boosters, and the Early
Childhood Advisory Committee.
These groups are critical to providing a quality education in the building and for providing the necessary
uniforms and equipment for our
music programs and athletic teams
to compete and perform outside the
classroom.
These organizations schedule
many events and fundraisers to
support our district by purchasing uniforms and equipment so our
students represent West Fork with
class. In order to run these fundraising events, these organizations are
dependent on the assistance of the
parents of students in our programs.
Please make this year’s New Year’s
resolution to get involved in a parent
group and support our programs. If
you have any questions about how
to get involved, please feel free to
contact me at 641-822-3236 or 641892-4160.
A final note is my wishes for each
and every family to have a safe Holiday Season and a wish for 2014 to be
a great year for all.
Go Warhawks!

Habitat announces
new homeowner repair program
Habitat for Humanity of North
Central Iowa (HFHNCI) has begun taking a wider approach to the
problem of substandard housing in
the area. By starting a new “Home
Repair Program,” the local Habitat
is striving to help low income homeowners address minor repair issues
before larger problems occur.
The new Home Repair Program
is open to homeowners who are unable to make needed repairs because
of costs or physical limitations. Participants will be expected to pay for
to the cost of materials through a 0
percent interest loan, as well as work
with the volunteers and Habitat staff
to complete the projects however
they are physically able to be involved. Projects receiving priority
will involve health and safety issues,
code violations, and neighborhood
beautification efforts. Expected projects will include installing handicapped accessible ramps, replacing
doors and windows for higher energy efficiency, yard work, exterior
painting or siding, repairs to porches
or ramps, and the replacement of
damaged flooring.
This program is being launched
through a $30,000 grant from Larson
Manufacturing, and requires a 2:1
match – which can include volunteer
labor and donated materials. In addition to this home repair funding,
Larson Manufacturing is also partially sponsoring two new construction Habitat houses in Mason City.
“We are so grateful to Larson
Manufacturing for their amazing
support and dedication to helping
families in need of safe and affordable housing,” says Melissa Schoneberg, executive director for HFHNCI. “The launch of this new Home
Repair program will allow us to
make a greater impact on the quality
of housing throughout our six-county area.”
Homeowner’s eligible for participation in the program should own
their home, have an income between
20 percent and 60 percecnt of the
area’s median income range, have
current homeowner’s insurance, and
reside in the home. The loans for
the projects would need to be repaid
with small monthly payments in under a five-year timeframe. Projects
will be selected by the scope of work
involved, availability of volunteers,
and the time frame required to complete the project.
“Although these repair projects
will be smaller than building a whole
home, we hope to be able to involve
more volunteer groups in fun, rewarding one or two day projects that
will have an impact on more communities in our service area,” explains volunteer coordinator, Lindsey Huesman. “Repair projects will
be a great opportunity for church
groups and service clubs to help individuals and their communities.”
To request an application for
the program, or to get involved
as a sponsor or volunteer - please
call Habitat for Humanity NCI at
(641) 424-8978 or visit the website
at www.habitatnci.org.

Non-Credit Welding Course Offered at NIACC
In response to the high demand
for production welders in the area,
North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) is offering a 45–hour,
non-credit Production Welding
course.
This course, which is being offered a second time this year due to
high demand, will provide participants with the skills necessary for
entry level manufacturing welding
with the Gas Metal Arc Welding
(MIG) process. “Manufacturing
today is an efficient, high-tech operation and welders are the backbone
of the industry,” said Terry Schumaker, NIACC Dean of Continuing
Education and Economic Development.
According to employment trends,
the state of Iowa is expected to see a
14 percent increase of welding positions available through 2020.
“This is another option for those
interested in a career in welding to
quickly get the skills they need to
get a good job,” Schumaker said.
“This is different than the welding
program NIACC offers as a full year
diploma program in that it has a very
concentrated focus on the specific
welding skills used in a manufacturing setting.”
Participants will gain an understanding of proper welding techniques and procedures for welding
structural carbon steel with the MIG
process. Skills will be developed
in flat, horizontal and vertical position welding of fillet welds. Welder
qualification testing is an available
option and will be attempted at the
level where success can be attained.
Personal protective equipment will
be provided to students.
To learn more, a public informa-
tion session will be held January 9
at 10 a.m. at the IowaWORKS office
600 S. Pierce Ave., Mason City. Tuition assistance is available to those
who qualify. Details will be provided at the information session.
This course meets on Tuesdays
and Thursdays beginning January 28
and will be offered at times conducive to people who work during the
day. This class is scheduled to meet
on these dates:
• Tuesdays: January 28, February
4, 11, 18, 25, March 4
• Thursdays: January 30, February 6, 13, 20, 27
All classes meet on the NIACC campus from 5- 9 p.m. in the
Buettner Careers Building, room
164. For more information and to
register, call the NIACC Continuing
Education Division at 1-641-4224358. Course #91506WANTED

production and promote the products
that we work so hard to grow,” says
Gary Woodley, ICGA Board director for District 2. “It is important to
bring together area corn farmers in
District 2 to help build grassroots
support for our issues.” Mike Kohlhaas, from West Bend
in Kossuth County, was selected as
the chairman of the committee. He
added, “The District 2 Committee
fills a gap between local corn associations and the Iowa Corn Growers Association board and it also

Investments in
Early Learning
Pay Off
By Senator Tom Harkin In 1991, the Committee on Economic Development issued a landmark report titled “The Unfinished
Agenda: A New Vision for Child
Development and Education.” The
group consisted of some of the top
business executives in America
who took a tough-minded look at
American education, and concluded
that the highest rate of return on investment for our education dollars
would come from investing in early
learning from birth to age five. More recently, in 2010, the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce – again,
tough-minded business executives
– issued a major report. And their
report concluded that quality early
learning is critical to our national
economic security.
If we fail to invest in children
early on, during the period of their
most rapid development, those children are more likely to enter school
behind. If the playing field is unleveled at the outset, how can we
hope to remain a nation of promise
and prosperity for all? It is with that
in mind that I have introduced the
Strong Start for America’s Children
Act, a bill that would greatly expand
access to high-quality early learning
experiences for children from birth
to kindergarten entry.
Something that we need to expunge from our lexicon is the term
“pre-school.” There is no such thing
as pre-school because we know that
learning begins at birth and the preparation for learning begins before
birth. My bill reinforces this idea by
ensuring that our most vulnerable
children have the support they need
to be healthy, happy, and ready for
school on the first day of kindergarten. We start by creating new early
learning quality partnerships, so that
Early Head Start grantees can partner with center-based and family
child care providers to offer infants
and toddlers full-day, full-year, highquality services.
I also proposed a new federalstate partnership to accelerate the
work currently being done in states
to support high-quality early learning for 3- and 4-year olds. To receive
funding through the partnership,
states must support programs that are
of high-quality, meaning programs
must have well-trained teachers, low

Ending the year on a high note
As 2013 comes to an end, we cap
off a year that has pointed Iowa in the
right direction on many fronts. We
ensured more Iowans have access
to good jobs, great communities,
strong local schools and affordable
health care—all while balancing the
state budget without raising taxes.
These fiscally responsible investments in Iowa are paying off.
Last week, the state’s nonpartisan
Revenue Estimating Conference
confirmed that Iowa’s economy is
steadily growing. Our bipartisan effort to expand access to affordable
health care, the Iowa Health & Wellness Plan, was approved. Also Iowa
children are showing improvements
in health, education and wellbeing,
according to a new report from Kids
Count.
This week, the nation’s leading
wind power utility announced a major expansion in Iowa. MidAmerican
Energy is buying hundreds of Iowabuilt wind turbines from Siemens
Energy to be installed on wind farms
throughout the state. This clean, locally produced energy reduces our
dependence on foreign oil, while
creating good jobs and economic opportunities in our communities.
While 2013 is ending with lots
of good news, there is more we can
do to grow and strengthen Iowa’s
middle class. Thousands of Iowans
are still struggling to work their way
out of the national recession. The
class sizes, low child-to-staff ratios,
curricula that are developmentally
appropriate, and programs must
provide other services that support
the non-academic needs of kids,
including nutritious foods, physical
activity, and strong parent and family engagement. These are the kinds
of common-sense, research-based
activities and services that any parent would want for their child, and
they also reflect the type of support
that many states and communities
are currently providing in their early
learning programs. I want to thank President Obama
for calling for this deep investment
in early learning during his State of

number of Iowans in need of food
has increased dramatically in recent
years, and our state’s childhood poverty rate is climbing faster than the
national average.
As we look to 2014, I will make
sure we use Iowa’s resources wisely
to build on our successes. You can
expect to see another balanced state
budget that invests in education,
worker training and job creation.

Much like Thanksgiving, New
Year’s ranks high on my list of favorite holidays simply because it
doesn’t require much effort. You
can sit back with friends, munch on
some snacks and watch the clock
roll over to a brand new year. It’s the
thick of college bowl season as well,
so there’s no shortage of good football on TV.
Oh, yeah – the drinks. Can’t forget the Champagne!
Who knew you could have so
much fun celebrating the arrival of
a new digit? There’s no need to go
shopping for presents and you don’t
have to worry about cooking a huge
meal. New Year’s is celebration in
its purest form.
Though fun-haters may call it a
frivolous holiday that lacks merit or
meaning, I really don’t think that’s
true. New Year’s offers a fresh start;
a definitive breaking point from one
year to the next; a clean slate. It’s
a year filled with unopened doors
and unlimited opportunities – who
knows what lies ahead?
Maybe it’s the Cubs fan in me, but
I’ve always loved New Year’s for all
of the reasons listed above. I know
it might be dumb to some people,
but I truly believe the holiday holds
value. I’ve had plenty of years that
I’d like to forget, and New Year’s
provided me with that defining split
from whatever crummy stuff I was
dealing with.
Of course, New Year’s also gives
us the perfect opportunity to reflect
on the past 365 days. For most people, the year included its ups and
downs. There were probably loved
ones lost or bad decisions made;
Pedley’s Ponderings
Nick Pedley is the regional news editor
and a reporter for the Hampton Chronicle,
The Sheffield Press, and Pioneer Enterprise.
maybe you got a promotion at work
or landed a better job. In any case,
it’s important to absorb the lessons
learned and cherish the highlights –
doing so will no doubt make for a
better 2014.
All this hope and promise typically ushers in a bold new attitude
for people. I’m not sure when the
New Year’s resolution made it’s first
appearance, but it’s one aspect of the
holiday that I can certainly live without.
The New Year’s resolution is a
good idea on the whole. It gives people a goal to work towards that feeds
off an attitude of improvement. People want to turn the page and really
better themselves in the New Year,
and that’s great. However, they fall
flat on their face far too often, and
it’s a wonder anyone makes these
stupid promises with themselves at
all.
I look no further than myself for
a shining example of this resolution
ridiculousness. For at least the past
three years I’ve been resolving to
quit biting my fingernails, work out
more and spend my money more
wisely. I plan to put those same items
on my list this year, but I’m less than
optimistic any of them will come full
circle.
Usually the first to go is my
plan to exercise more. It’s so easy
put it off because I’m too “busy”
or “tired.” I can talk myself out of
things very easily, and my disdain
for working out makes it even easier.
In spite of my fervent resentment,
I’d really like to get back in shape.
Maybe I need a personal trainer; or
maybe I should just join the army.
Next to go on my list of hopeless
resolutions is my bad habit of biting
my fingernails. My mom would always nag me growing up to quit, but
I could never quite kick it. It’s pointless and childish, but I do it without
thinking most times. If you’ve got
any suggestions or remedies, let me
know.
The final nail in my resolution
coffin is usually my spending habits. It’s never gotten out of control
or anything, I’ll just spend too much
one weekend on pointless things.
Be it a trip, night out with friends
or something else, my bank account
will get squeezed and I find myself
slapping my forehead. I think college loans and other bills will easily
keep my spending in check this year,
however. You can’t spend money if
it’s not there!
I hope you ring in the New Year
with style and flair. Have fun, be safe
and have a great 2014.

Riceville bows to No. 3 Warhawks
“It was the worst thing I’ve seen,”
Huber said. “It went straight through
her gum, affected a few of her teeth
and she had a big gash on the right
side of her face.”
According to Huber, Peterson
was taken to the hospital in Osage
and sent on to Mayo, where she had
a CAT scan; she had 100 stitches
and three plates put in her face for
fractures and will most likely have to
have plastic surgery to repair nerve
damage.
He added that he didn’t get to see
much of the injury because Peterson
was holding a towel to her face and
there was a lot of bleeding.

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To
solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must ll each
row, column and box. Each
number can appear only once
in each row, column and box.
You can gure out the order
in which the numbers will
appear by using the numeric
clues already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it gets to
solve the puzzle!
