Wellness Center
nearing completion
Expected to open in August
BY ZACH CLEMENS
When the 2016-2017 school year starts
in less than two months, students should expect to have full access to the new West Fork
Wellness Center at the Sheffield campus.
For months now, crews from Henkel Construction have been hard at work finishing
the new multimillion-dollar training complex
for West Fork.
Recently, the old weight room south of the
school was torn down to make way for a new
parking lot that is seriously needed.
Darrin Strike, West Fork Superintendent,
said the new parking areas will clear up a lot
of congestion.
“There really hasn’t been a designated parking lot, There’s been a lot of parking on the
roads and such,” he said.
Crews are now working on the infrastructure of the parking lot, packing the earth back
down and making sure it will drain properly.
There is also landscape grading around the
main structure that is being completed.
Inside the new structure, that is over
37,000 square feet, painting and electrical
work has taken place, as the rough edges inside become smoothed.
One area that is almost finished and has
already seen use is the new weight room,
which is on the southwest end of the center.
“We were granted temporary occupancy of the weight room in the new facility,”
Strike said.
All the equipment and weights were moved
over to the new weight room at the end of
May.
“We had a group of fabulous parents,
coaches and students that helped with the
move,” Strike said.
He said students are using the new weight
room—which is almost double the size of the
old building—every morning already.
“Its just a fantastic facility,” Strike said.
Off the weight room, there will be rooms
dedicated to cardio equipment and aerobic
fitness. The facility will have two mezzanines, with one being storage and the other
being the new wrestling room that was needed at West Fork.
The Wellness Center will not just be for
organized sports though.
“We are looking at this facility to serve all
K-12 kids,” Strike said.
He went on to say that the Wellness Center will not only serve the students, it would
serve the community as well.
West Fork has a Building Operations
Board, specifically formed for this new build,
and they are tasked with all these details.
“They have met numerous times, and
have been dealing with establishing membership rates to the community, hours of operation for the center and working to obtain
equipment for the cardio room,” Strike said.
The Board prepared and received a grant
through the Foster and Evelyn Barkema
Charitable Trust. It is for $15,000 and will
be used to purchase all the necessary cardio
equipment that is needed.
The facility is also getting connected, with
fiber-optic cable soon to be trenched and
bored from the school to the Industrial Technology and Agricultural Education building,
and over to the Wellness Center.
The new Wellness Center is going to meet
a number of different needs in the district and
be a welcome addition to West Fork nation.

Rockwell City Council prepares
for the NPTA, Fourth of July
Tractor pullers and fireworks at the City Council meeting
BY ZACH CLEMENS
The Rockwell City Council approved a number of items for the
Rockwell Lions Club for the upcoming North Iowa Nationals, a NTPA
championship truck and tractor-pulling event.
Tim Nuehring, owner of Hefty
Seeds in Rockwell and member of the
Lions Club, was at the Council meeting on June 22 to request three different items for the event.
“We ask that you lift the noise
ordinance for the event,” Nuehring
asked.
Typically the event will go past the
10:00 p.m. noise ordinance.
“We hope to have it wrapped up by
10:30 p.m. but we can’t account for a
breakdown or weather delay,” Nuehring said.
After some discussion, the Council decided to waive the noise ordinance for the NTPA event for both
nights to account for a weather delay
or machine breakdowns.
The Lions Club also requested a
liquor license for the event, as they do
every year.
Rockwell Police Chief Rick Whitney was in attendance and told the
Council that he did not have a problem with approving a liquor license
for the event.
Whitney also did not have an issue
with waiving the ATV ordinance for
the participants in the event.
“I’ve never had a problem with the
pullers, they have always been really
good about going directly to and back
where they need to go,” Whitney said.
There was also discussion of security and parking for the tractor pull.
Whitney suggested two individuals
over the age of 18 to help with parking, and Nuehring said he would find
them.
The Lions Club member also said
they would be policing the event
themselves.
“We have 10 members of the committee who will be acting as security,
with [uniforms] and radios to communicate,” Nuehring said.
The Council also approved the
waiving of the noise ordinance for
the fireworks display on July 3, to celebrate the Fourth of July.
In addition to waiving the noise
ordinance, the Council also unanimously approved the allocation of
$2500 to go towards the fireworks
show. Those funds will be matched
by the Lions Club and is the same
amount that was allocated last year.
Councilmen Larry Wentz III did
want to make a note that citizens of
Rockwell still need to respect the ordinances regarding golf carts.
Chief Whitney added that, a person is
required to have a driver’s license to
operate a golf cart.

Farmland leasing meeting
set for Aug. 10 in Hampton
More than half of Iowa farmland
is rented and the percentage of farmland rented has increased over time
due to the changing demographics
of farmland owners. Iowa farmland
cash rental rates decreased overall
this past year. Farmland values have
also decreased.
Iowa State University Extension
and Outreach in Franklin County is
hosting a farmland leasing meeting
on Wednesday, Aug. 10, at 7 p.m., to
address questions that land owners,
tenants or other interested individuals have about farmland leasing.
The meeting will be held at the
Youth for Christ building located
at 420 4th St. SE in Hampton. The
meeting will be approximately 2½
hours in length. Similar meetings are
being held across Iowa. Other locations can be found by contacting the
Franklin County Extension office
or the ISUEO calendar of events at
http://www.extension.iastate.edu/
calendar/.
Attendees will gain an understanding of current cash rental rate
surveys and factors driving next
year’s rents such as market trends
and input costs. They will learn about
types of leases and results of farmland value surveys. Information on
calculating rental rates, Farm Bill updates and web-based resources will
also be included. A 100-page workbook will be available to purchase
for $10 that includes land-leasing
information such as surveys, sample
written lease agreement and termination forms and many other publications.
“Due to changes in commodity
markets and government programs
farmland owners and tenants have
challenging decisions to make, and
this meeting provides information to
stay up to date on farmland leasing
issues,” says Kelvin Leibold, ISU
Extension and Outreach Farm and
Ag Business Management Specialist. Leibold will be the presenter at
the meeting.
Registration is free. This program
is being sponsored by First Security
Bank.

Fishing report for north central Iowa
The Iowa Department of Natural
Resources’ weekly fishing report is
compiled with information gathered
from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and state park staff. For current
information, contact the Clear Lake
Fish and Wildlife office at (641) 3573517.
Beeds Lake: Bluegill, good. Bluegills and a few yellows are being
caught drift fishing/trolling small jigs.
This is a good summer technique for
beds.
Bluebill Lake: Channel catfish,
good. They are biting well on the jetty.
Blue Lake: Water levels in the lake
are high but fishing has been fine.
There is a lot of shoreline vegetation
submerged. Concentrate on these
areas with weedless lures. To catch
bluegills, fish with a worm under a
bobber near vegetation. Some sorting
is required because there are a lot of
smaller fish.
Clear Lake: Channel catfish, good.
Catfish are spawning near rocks along
the shoreline and deeper rock reefs.
The island, Billy’s reef, State Reef and
the Ventura jetties are good places to
look. Use cut bait on the bottom with
a slip sinker or on a float in the shallows. Jig fish with a piece of cut bait,
minnows or leeches if trying near the
rocks.
Yellow Bass, fair. Yellow bass are
scattered after the spawn, move until
you find them.
Walleye, fair. Some legal-size fish
are using the longleaf pondweed just
outside of the rush beds in Farmer’s
Beach and the Baptist camp. Try fishing small pockets with a bobber and
minnows or leeches. Wader fishing
may be a better option in this area.
Fish have also been caught close to
docks in the early morning in two
to three feet of water. A few keepers
have been caught around the reefs
with lots of sublegal sized fish also being caught.
Muskellunge, fair.
Yellow Perch, fair. Target perch inside the rushes on the north shore or
near Farmer’s Beach.
Bluegill, fair. Look for sunfish in
the reeds on the west side of MacIntosh point. Use bobbers and worms or
small minnows.
Lake Catherine: Channel catfish,
good. Fish near the rocks along the
jetties or shoreline with worms, minnows or cut bait.
Lake Cornelia: Channel catfish,
fair. Try cut bait, worms or minnows
near rocks as they are in their spawning season.
Bluegill, fair.
Walleye, fair. A few smaller walleyes have been caught with live bait.
Lake Smith: Channel catfish,
good. Catfish have been on the rocks
on the south end. Use bobbers and a
piece of cut bait or worms.
Largemouth Bass, good. Largemouth fishing has been good in the
weeds and on deeper water structure.
Use artificial bait that works well in
weeds and fish pockets in the weeds
or edges.
Bluegill, fair. Bluegills have been
caught off docks early in the morning.
Lower Pine Lake: Some anglers
are catching decent sized crappies
with minnows and artificial lures.
Bluegills are slow and small on bother
upper and lower lakes. There have
been a few reports of big largemouth
being caught in both upper and lower
pine lakes.
Record breaking holiday travel
AAA projects nearly 43 million
Americans will travel this Independence Day weekend. This represents
the highest Fourth of July travel
volume on record and a half million
more travelers than last year. The
holiday travel period is defined as
Thursday, June 30 to Monday, July 4.
“Independence Day is always the
most-traveled holiday of the summer, but this year it will be bigger
than ever, primarily because of low
gas prices,” said Joseph J. Richardson Jr., President and CEO, AAA The Auto Club Group.
U.S. drivers have saved about
$20 billion on gasoline so far this
year compared to the same period in
2015, which has made travel more
affordable than in recent years. A
more confident consumer and rising
economic activity also are offsetting
a cooling labor market to help boost
holiday travel.
“Airports will be just as crowded
as the roads, because low fuel prices
are making it more affordable to fly.
If fundamentals remain the same,
this could be a record-breaking year
for summertime travel,” Richardson
said.
Summer events planned at FC Farmers Market
Starting July 1 and continuing on
the first Friday night of every month,
hospital dietitian, Megan Conlon will
be presenting a healthy food demonstration with samples and recipes
available. She will be using fresh, local produce available at the Franklin
County Farmers Market.
Also beginning July 1, the Franklin County Farmers Market will
be sponsoring the Farmers Market
Scavenger Hunt. Participation is
open to kids in grades K-8. A participation sheet may be picked up
from market manager, Barb Ristau.
Kid will have to answer the questions, visit with the vendors and find
the produce mentioned. Completed
sheets need to be turned in to the
market manager in order to collect
a free fruit or vegetable. The completed sheets will also be sent to the
Iowa Dept. of Ag for entry in their
drawings. Winners will be contacted
through parent contact information.
The purpose of the scavenger
hunts is to help kids learn more about
locally grown fruits and vegetables
and the farmers in their community.
It is also an opportunity to extend the
Healthy Habits program that Franklin County Extension presents and
it allows kids to try a fresh produce
item that is grown locally. Only one
form may be submitted per student,
per day.
At the Aug. 5 market, in addition
to Megan’s demonstration, there will
be various activities celebrating National Farmers Market Week, which
is the week of Aug. 1 – 6.

Summer fun in Iowa
Summer Adventures
County fair season has officially
kicked off in District 54 with the Butler County Fair this week. I really enjoy visiting each of the county fairs in
the district because it gives me an opportunity to talk with constituents and
hear about their ideas and concerns.
With the official start of summer,
many families will be making plans
for vacations and weekend getaways.
Iowa is full of hidden treasures, which
makes our state a perfect place to plan
your summer adventure. Here are a
few suggestions on where to travel
this summer:
Visit one Iowa’s beautiful state
parks
Whether you’re into boating, fishing, camping, or hiking, Iowa’s state
parks have something for everybody.
Iowa has several biking and hiking
trails for beginners and experts all
across the state. We also have lakes
in almost every corner of the state
for fishers and boaters to enjoy a nice
summer day.
Some of the best memories are
made sitting around a campfire telling
stories and grilling s’mores. Reserving a campsite is as easy as visiting
the reservation portion of the Iowa
DNR’s website whether you’re bringing your camper or your tent.
You can find a full list of Iowa’s
state parks and preserves on the Iowa
DNR’s website.
Ride across Iowa on RAGBRAI
Bicyclists travel from across the
country each year to participate in the
Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride
Across Iowa (RAGBRAI). Each year,
bikers travel from the western coast of
Iowa, beginning at the Missouri River,
to the eastern coast, ending at the Mississippi River.
This year, bikers will begin in
Glenwood and travel through southern Iowa, making stops in Glenwood,
Shenandoah, Creston, Leon, Centerville, Ottumwa, Washington, and finally ending in Muscatine. RAGBRAI
is a great way to stay active over the
summer while also taking in the beautiful sights of Iowa on a trip across the
state.
This year’s RAGBRAI will take
place July 24-30. You can find more
information at RAGBRAI.com.
Check out one of Iowa’s many county fairs
Iowa is recognized nationally for
agriculture. As America’s top producer of pork, corn, soybeans, and
eggs, agriculture is vitally important to
Iowa’s economy. County fairs give us
the opportunity to showcase the importance of this industry to many people
that aren’t involved in agriculture.
We all know and love the Iowa State
Fair for its promotion of Iowa agriculture, but county fairs give us a local
view to our state’s agriculture. County
fairs are an opportunity to introduce
our kids and grandkids to agriculture
and teach them about its importance
to Iowa. Many events at county fairs
give students real world experience
that they can use in the future through a
variety of programs and activities like
raising and showing livestock.
County fairs also provide worldclass entertainment ranging from rides
to nationally known musicians. We
also shouldn’t forget about all of those
delicious fair foods!
Several county fairs have already
kicked off this year, and will extend
into the late summer.
What else to do?
There are numerous other summer adventures across Iowa to spend
time this summer. Visit the birthplace
of Herbert Hoover in West Branch to
learn more about the only President
from Iowa. Enjoy the thrills of a race
at the Iowa Speedway in Newton or
visit the Sprint Car Hall of Fame and
Museum in Knoxville. Visit Iowa’s
original Capitol building in Iowa City
and explore the beautiful University
of Iowa campus. There are plenty of
fun activities and places to visit across
Iowa this summer.
I hope that you’ll join me in visiting these Iowa sights this summer as
a day trip or a mini-vacation. One of
Iowa’s lakes, a music festival, or an art
fair gets you out to see the treasures
in Iowa communities across the state.
Another benefit to traveling Iowa is
that all of these options make for economical family fun and they help support our local communities and economies.
To find more unique Iowa adventures, visit TravelIowa.com.
As always, please keep in touch,
and be sure to say “hi” if you see me
out! I look forward to traveling the
district and much of the state continuing to visit with Iowans over the coming months. If you would like to touch
base in the meantime, you can reach
me at [email protected]
or 515-281-3521.
When hype meets hate
It’s interesting how expectations
and reputation can affect the perception of a product.
This week saw the release of
“Mighty No. 9,” a game that had many
expectations to live up to.
First, a bit of backstory.
Even non-gamers are probably
familiar with Mega Man in some capacity or another. He’s a blue-clad
super fighting robot that jumps across
platforms, absorbs the weapons from
his enemies and explodes upon the
slightest contact with a pointed edge.
The Blue Bomber had a pretty consistent presence in the video game scene
starting from his debut in 1987 right
up to 2010 when Capcom, for reasons
unknown, decided they’d had enough.
Flash-forward to 2013, where producer Keiji Inafune had had enough
with Capcom’s neglect for the Mega
Man franchise. Inafune left Capcom to
start his own company, Comcept, and
launched the studio on the promise of
doing what Capcom wouldn’t.
Under any other circumstances,
“Mighty No. 9” would be called a
knock-off of “Mega Man,” but with
Inafune and the other Capcom developers that followed him at the helm,
it was instead dubbed a “spiritual successor.”
Inafune went to Kickstarter and
asked for $900,000 to produce the
game. He got nearly $4,000,000,
and everybody in the gaming world
felt pretty good about that. Not only
were gamers finally getting a new
“Mega Man” game (in everything but
name), but the success of the Kickstarter proved that developers could
free themselves from their corporate
shackles and strike out on their own.
But things only went downhill
from there.
While Comcept proved to be very
successful at creating a community
around their project, maintaining it
proved to be another matter entirely.
A divisive community manager split
the community against itself, creating controversy that shouldn’t have
affected the game itself, but certainly
dampened enthusiasm for the project.
Then came the delays. “Mighty
No. 9” was targeted for an April 2015
release. You may have noticed that it is
not April 2015. In this, the game was
a victim of its own success. By raising
400% of its original budget Comcept
was able to fund a score of “stretch
goals,” which included multi-platform releases and an online challenge
mode, two things which drastically increased development time, resulting in
the game being delayed three times.
With morale plummeting as the
user base grew increasingly impatient,
Comcept released a tone-deaf advertisement that was outright insulting to
the game’s primary consumer base.
A base that had paid for the game in
2013 and at that point had received
nothing but disappointment and frustration since.
Then, last week, the moment of

Fischer
truth. The game was released… mostly. I’ve gotten my copy, but scores of
people, particularly console owners
and overseas backers, have yet to receive the game.
So after all the problems and delays, how was the final product?
Mediocre at best.
Not bad. Not great. Just mostly
okay. Nothing to write home about,
much less write a whole column
about.
Mediocre games happen all the
time. Every single week a developer you’ve never heard of puts out
a game that you’ll never hear about.
That game probably won’t be bad, but
it also probably won’t be worth your
time or money either. And nobody
cares because nobody has any expectations for it one way or the other.
Sometimes beloved developers
even put out mediocre games. Platinum Games is a company known for
their spectacular combat, so when they
announced that they were developing
a game for the “Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles” franchise, it seemed like a
match made in heaven. Unfortunately,
the final product did not live up to expectations, which is disappointing, but
it happens. Gamers shared a collective
sigh of disappointment and moved on
to the next thing.
For “Mighty No. 9” though, gamers aren’t letting this one go. The community has been flush with memes
about the game’s launch problems,
underwhelming graphics and substandard gameplay. If the community
didn’t get their entertainment value
playing the game, they’re certainly
getting it by tearing the game down.
It turns out that if you’re going to
frustrate and insult your customers,
you better make sure the final product
lives up to expectations.
Some companies can get away
with it. Nintendo, for instance, has
struggled under an endless string of
poor decisions since 1996. They are
spectacularly out-of-touch with the
modern gamer and continually make
decisions that aggravate their most
loyal customers. And yet all it took
was one trailer for the new Zelda
game to sell me on their next system.
Comcept does not have that level
of good will and at this point they’re
unlikely to ever get it. With so many
problems during the development, I’m
not sure it’s possible to make a game
good enough to earn back all that lost
good will.
For me, I spent $20 on a game that
took nearly three years to make and
one night to nearly finish. When I get
3
some free time, I’ll beat the final boss
and probably never it again. Were this
a random game on Steam I wouldn’t
have bought it, but that’s the chance
you take when you Kickstart something.
For Comcept and their investors,
it’s a lesson learned the hard way.

Beware of opportunistic meddlers
The mass shooting in Orlando is
tragic in ways beyond the immediate
loss of loved ones and the terror experienced in the event.
Well-intentioned advocates, pundits, and politicians jumped on the
news as a way to further their own
agendas. They all approached it from
the aspect of top-down management
of our world, as if they run a zoo.
I actually heard Senator Joni Ernst
say that if President Obama hadn’t
pulled our troops out of Iraq we
wouldn’t be experiencing so many
terrorist attacks. No explanation came
after that about how destroying and
occupying a foreign land wins friends.
She joined the chorus of voices calling for rebuilding a military that is 12
times larger than any other on earth, in
response to one jihadist in a nightclub.
I don’t want to lessen the importance of Islamic jihadist. It is an important issue. But that issue has been
so convoluted as to become the reason for expansion of government at
any cost. The right’s obeisance to the
military industrial complex has blinded them to being reasonable regarding
the military’s mission to protect the
United States.
For instance, an article in last
week’s Wall Street Journal titled,
“U.S. Struggles to Replace Afghan
Aircraft,” it contained this quote:
“One helicopter exploded in midair,
victim of a suspected grenade accident on board. Another was destroyed
when another helicopter accidentally

opened fire on the tarmac.” Military
leaders are upset at Obama’s sanctions that don’t allow us to replace
these $19 million Russian helicopters. What does this have to do with
protecting Americans? Wasn’t the Soviet Union going down the same path
when it went belly-up?
Everything has a cost. The risk of
dying in a mass shooting in the last
year is 3.6 million to one, compared
to the risk of being struck by lightning
at one in 1.2 million. Even spending
unlimited funds to make every single person in the U.S. a bubble boy,
would still have unforeseen risks.
To lessen the risk of being struck
by lightning, we can stop waving
golf clubs at thunderstorms and go
inside. To lessen the chance of being killed in a mass shooting, we can
stay away from gun free zones. But
in Florida that would mean never going to a place that serves alcohol. The
State of Florida has eliminated private
property rights by making it illegal to
carry a firearm in such places. And in
the process, issued a death sentence
to a certain number of their innocent
citizens.
In Florida, if the same percentage
of people who hold concealed carry
permits were allowed to do so at the
Pulse nightclub there would have
been twenty capable of limiting the
carnage.
We already have laws to protect
people from the aggression of other
people. Advocates of pre-emptive ac-

tion such as the war on terror or gun
control are merely joining the other
big government busybodies in making things worse. They don’t see that
the funds used and freedom taken for
their grand plans make us more reliant
and less able to get along and survive
in a dangerous world.
Those who say being in a government database or surrendering weapons to the state has no effect on them,
might change their tune when living
under the next regime or cowering
under a table. Self-sufficient private
individuals have always done more
for our safety than government bureaucrats.
In 1755, Ben Franklin, had a warning still poignant to this day, “Those
who would give up essential liberty,
to purchase a little temporary safety,
deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS
CITY OF ROCKWELL
JUNE 22, 2016
Mayor Bills called to order the regular meeting of the Rockwell City Council at 7:00 p.m.
on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 in the Council
Chambers. Council members present were
Brown, Wentz, Johnson and Koob. Also present were Tim Nuehring, Brad Jones, Zach Clemens, Collin Sido, Tom Hensley, Jay Siefken and
Chief Whitney.
Mayor Bills stated the agenda stands as presented.
Brown moved to approve the minutes of the
previous meeting. Motion seconded by Johnson, carried unanimously.
Wentz moved to approve the Library Report as
presented. Motion seconded by Koob, carried
unanimously.
Tim Nuehring was present on behalf of the
Rockwell Lions Club. Nuehring thanked the
Council for their past support with the NTPA
event. Nuehring stated that they have applied
for a special event liquor license and asked for
approval. Chief Whitney stated he has had no
problems at their event. Koob moved to approve the special event liquor license for the Lions Club. Motion seconded by Johnson, carried
unanimously.
Nuehring told the Council the pulls will start at
6:00 p.m. on Friday, July 8th and Saturday, July
9th. Nuehring noted they intend to be over at
10:00 p.m. but due to unforeseen issues, there
is no way to be certain of the time, so he would
like to have the noise ordinance waived for the
event. Following discussion, Wentz moved to
waive the noise ordinance for the Lions Club
NTPA event. Motion seconded by Koob, carried
unanimously.
Nuehring also asked if the Council would allow
for the pullers that are staying for the weekend
event would be, again, allowed to run their ATV’s
in town to get to the store and such. Nuehring
noted that in their meeting they inform them of
the route to use to get to and from Chamber
Acres. Johnson moved to allow for the pullers
to use their ATV’s, within the guidelines given,
in town. Motion seconded by Wentz, carried
unanimously.
Nuehring stated that he has talked with Chief
Whitney about security for the event, and the

would take care of this. Nuehring thanked the
Council and Chief Whitney for their support.
Brad Jones was present on behalf of the Rockwell Chamber. Jones told the Council that fireworks will be July 3rd with a rain date of the 4th.
With discussion, Koob moved to waive the noise
ordinance for the fireworks event. Motion seconded by Brown, carried unanimously. Jones
thanked the Council for their financial support
for the fireworks in the past and asked for the
same contribution this year. Brown moved to
give the Rockwell Chamber $2,500 for the fireworks. Motion seconded by Johnson, carried
unanimously.
Siefken asked Jones about the cans for the
Chamber as they are piling up. Jones stated
that they have a plan and need to work on getting things going. Mayor Bills noted he will
check on this.
Jones thanked the Council, as he, and Nuehring, left the meeting.
Mayor Bills presented tobacco permits from
Rockwell Area Market and Jonesy’s Stop N
Shop. Chief Whitney stated there have been
no problems for either. With all paperwork presented, Brown moved to approve the tobacco
permits for Rockwell Area Market and Jonesy’s
Stop N Shop. Motion seconded by Johnson,
carried unanimously.
Mayor Bills read a letter from the Rockwell Library stating that Judy Witte is resigning and the
Board would like to appoint Dawn Floy to the
board. Brown moved to approve the appointment of Dawn Floy to the Library Board. Motion
seconded by Koob, carried unanimously.
Siefken noted the letters residents have been
getting offering insurance on their water and
sewer lines, and after checking into this, does
not feel it is in the resident’s best interest to purchase such insurance.
Siefken told the Council that he feels they could
use the boat that was acquired through the military issue for work at the lagoon. Council was
in agreement.
Siefken reported on estimates for street work
and patching with Heartland Asphalt at a cost
of $51,900. Siefken also noted they looked at
Fourth Street South and felt there is not a simple
solution. Council discussed the work mentioned
and will look at the streets and discuss at the
next meeting.
Mayor Bills asked to look at paying the loan for
sewer improvements in full; Council will discuss
this at the next meeting.
Koob asked about the cleanup of city properties. Siefken noted they have not done much
with that, yet. Koob asked about the other
properties. Chief Whitney noted they are being
worked on. Koob noted that he has talked with
the county conservation and they will look at the
park area in regards to some issues.
Johnson asked about tires for the sewer jetter.
Siefken noted he will have that for the next fiscal.
Mayor Bills told the Council we have received
the bill from ACCO for the pool repairs at a cost
of $13,617. Wentz moved to pay the billing from
local option funds. Motion seconded by Koob,
Koob thanked Siefken and Hensley for the
work on getting the pool ready this spring, and
continued work with it.
Wentz noted the golf cart ordinance and youth
driving around. Chief Whitney will watch out for
issues. Weier noted that this was included in the
notes with fluoride letters this month.
Wentz asked Chief Whitney if there is anything
needed from the Council to help with issues
happening. Chief Whitney asked to have a
safety committee meeting.
Koob noted an issue he had talked with people
from the golf course and the pool.
Mayor Bills noted a thank you card from the
Linn Grove Country Club for the work done by
Siefken and Hensley and the supplies used in
the eak repair.
Mayor Bills also shared a thank you note from
KGLO for all that were involved in the tractor
ride that went through last week.
With no further business, Koob moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Wentz,

▪ Area rivals
battle it out
in 11-inning
baseball game
BY KRISTI NIXON
SHEFFIELD – Neither team was
going to give an inch.
As West Fork and HamptonDumont baseball teams duked it out
in a non-conference baseball battle,
back-and-forth it went until the dust
cleared and the Bulldogs emerged
three hours later with a 9-8 win in 11
innings as the Warhawks had the tying run on third.
The lead changed five times and
was tied three times before it was
over on Tuesday, June 21 at Sheffield.
“This was quite a battle here,”
H-D coach Matt Lokenvitz said, “and
I’m super-proud of my guys, they
never quit. We had a couple of chances to end the game; we had a couple
of errors in the bottom of the seventh
and what-not.
“But a young team is going to
have that, so we continue to battle,
continue to fight and I can’t ask any
more than what we got tonight.”
West Fork coach Lance Thompson added, “The kids did a great job
of competing at the plate and also on
the mound. The pitchers that came in
did a good job of firing strikes and for
us, Mitchell Halloran, he was wearing down a little bit, but he wanted to
stay in the game there. I let him stay
in and he did a great job competing,
knocking them down and giving us a
chance.
“Neither team could push over a
run and it kept going extra innings,
but it was a fun high school game.”
Two key balk calls – one on each
team – tied the game at six in the fifth
inning and actually gave the Bulldogs
the go-ahead run in the 11th.
With runners on first and third, Lukas Wogen took off from first, forcing
H-D starter Justin Kent to flinch and
the call sent Rylan Fleshner home
from third despite the protests of Lokenvitz.
“I don’t know, it’s kind of weird,”
Lokenvitz said. “I thought the officiating was a little bit weird on both
sides, but you are going to have those.
In a crazy game, you go 11 innings
and for them to tie the game a couple
of different times.
“They are battling back, we are
battling back, the umpires are doing
the best that they can and so you can’t
fault the umpires, you can’t fault
were earned against the E-Hawks.
West Fork put together another 10
hits against the Cardinals, with two
apiece by Jones, Madison Patten and
Maddison Shupe. Shupe also drove
in three while Patten stole four of the
team’s 10 stolen bases.
The two teams were knotted at 4
after seven, sending the game to the
international tiebreak where West
Fork scored three and G-H-V drove
in a run before the Warhawks shut it
down.

their team or our team, it’s just one of
those good, fought-hard battle games
where crazy things happen.”
The other balk gave H-D the 8-7
lead in the 11th after winning pitcher
Jacoby Mutschler led off the inning
with a one-out single and Nate White,
who homered in his first at-bat and
went 4-for-5 with a walk, doubled
down the right field line to put runners on second and third.
Clay Emhoff’s flinch on the
mound was barely detectable while
facing Caleb Chaney, but it was called
and then later Hunter Sutter drove in
what turned out to be a much-needed
insurance run for H-D.
“It happens,” Thompson said of
the balks. “I mean, neither coach
agrees with it, but it happens, so
you’ve got to take it in stride and
keep competing and both teams did.”
After taking a 9-7 lead into the
bottom of the 11th, it was far from
over as the Warhawks had the top of
their order coming up.
Reese Halloran led off with a
single and after Emhoff flew out to
center, Fleshner, who was 3-for-6 but
reached a fourth time on an error back
in the four-run second, doubled to put
two in scoring position.
Dawson Zeitler hit a sacrifice fly
to right and Fleshner got in a lengthy
run-down between second and third
in which he reached on a throwing
error, putting him 90 feet away representing the tying run.
But Mutschler got Wogen to fly
out to center to end it.
The Bulldogs recorded 14 fly-outs
against a West Fork team that makes
solid contact with the ball. In fact,
the Warhawks struck out only three
times in the extra inning contest. H-D
struck out 13 times and both ended
the 10th inning with a strikeout looking.
Regardless, this was the fourth
straight win for the Bulldogs after
starting the first 10 games of the season 3-7. They are now 7-10.
“I think our kids are starting to
learn that we are talented,” Lokenvitz
said. “We started off real early and
I kept telling them how talented we
were but we weren’t seeing it on the
diamond. Now all of the sudden we
are getting big hits when we need the
big hits and we are pitching when we
need to pitch, we are fielding when
we need to field. They are starting to
see that we are putting these things
together, we are a pretty good team.
We are starting to move forward.
“Their confidence is growing and
it’s really helping us as a team.”
H-D senior catcher Spencer Clark,
who is out for the first time said the
improvement in the team is evident
after a game like this.
“When we started the season,
we’d have a rough inning, we hung
our head and stuff,” Clark said, “but
we’ve grown as a team and I think
our younger kids have started to grow
up and I feel like we’ve matured from
the first part of the season as a team
and that showed tonight, I think.”
West Fork’s road last week didn’t
get any easier as it started it with a
tough doubleheader sweep by topranked 1A team Mason City Newman.
“The big thing is we are playing
against good teams,” Thompson said,
“and trying to see where we are at and
working on improvements.”

SHEFFIELD – For the HamptonDumont softball team, it was all
about making contact.
The Bulldogs didn’t record an
offensive strikeout all game against
West Fork eighth-grader Rachael
Hubka and broke through for a couple of runs late in their 3-1 win over
the Warhawks on Tuesday, June 21.
Both runs were aided by lead-off
doubles by Macy Scheideman in
both the fourth and sixth innings. She
came around to score in the fourth
and pinch runner Maci Arjes recorded the final run on an RBI double by
Charlie Myers.
In fact, Myers had both of the
Bulldogs’ RBI in the game. The other
run came in on a wild pitch.
While H-D was making solid
contact with the ball, Kylie Voy had
a nine strikeout performance in the
circle for H-D.
The lone run Voy gave up was on
back-to-back doubles by Lexi Jones
and Madison Patten in the fourth that
momentarily tied the score at 1-all.
Voy and the Bulldogs also wiggled out of early trouble as a lead-off
error had a runner on second with no
outs, but Voy got a lineout to second,
a pop foul out to the catcher on a bunt
attempt and fly out to left to end the
threat.
West Fork had a last attempt in
the bottom half of the seventh on a
lead-off single by Patten, who went

2-for-3 and only one of two Warhawks with three at-bats against
Voy who didn’t strikeout, but after a sacrifice bunt put her at second,
a fly out to center and a groundout to
third ended it.
The Warhawks prevented another
Bulldog run from scoring in the seventh after a lead-off single by Nadilee Eiklenborg, she was cut down
trying to steal second and then a lineout following an error turned into a
double play.
H-D improved to 8-4 overall with
the win while West Fork dropped to
6-8.
