sends notice
to absent
council
member
By Travis Fischer
The Meservey City Council approved action to remove
a council member from office
during their regular meeting on
Monday, June 9.
Council member Bonnie
Brunstein has not attended a
council meeting since February
and shows no sign of attending
future meetings.
“She’s thought about turning
in a letter of resignation, but she
never did it,” said council member Pat White.
The four council members
agreed to send a letter of notice
to Brunstein informing her of
their decision. They will discuss
the best method if replacing
Brunstein at the next meeting.
In other business, the council
approved a proposal from Greg
Meier to take over meter reading and water testing duties.
Meier will start working with
the city in July or August.
To avoid a scheduling conflict, the next meeting will be
scheduled for Tuesday, July 8,
at 7 p.m.

Rockwell approves
double the fireworks
for Independence Day
By Travis Fischer
The Rockwell City Council
met with Lions Club member
Tim Nuehring during their regular meeting on Wednesday, June
4. Nuehring updated the council
on summer events. The Truck and
Tractor Pull is scheduled for July
4-5 and the Lions Club received
permission from the city to perform a fireworks show on the
Fourth of July.
This fireworks show will be in
addition to the regular Independence Day fireworks scheduled
for July 3.
Mayor William Sheldon, also
representing the Linn Grove Golf
Course, updated the council about
the financial status of the golf
course.
After years of poor financial
management, the golf course’s
new board has been working to
reduce their debt without draining
their operating funds. Sheldon
says that in 23 months they’ve reduced their debt by $163,000.
“Our goal is to be debt free by
the end of the year,” said Sheldon.
Sheldon informed the council
that the golf course is again requesting financial assistance for
summer water. The council approved a $5,000 water reimbursement credit to the golf course beginning July 1.
Public Works Director Jay
Siefken came to the council with
a quote from Heartland Asphalt
for street patching. The council
approved an agreement for up to
$33,000 in repair work.
Siefken also reported on the
status of the Madison Street
Bridge, noting that construction
has been going better than expected.
“The fellows are doing a really
good job down there,” said Siefken. “It’s going better than clockwork.”
Finally, the council went into
closed session to perform employee evaluations. Afterwards,
the council approved the 201415 employee package, which includes a 2 percent pay raise across
the board, a $570 allowance for
clothing reimbursement, and the
ability for employees to choose
between overtime or comp time.

The story of the
Chit Chat Café began
39 years ago. Dorenkamp already owned
the building when the
owner of the previous
restaurant decided to
throw in the towel.
When visiting the

District 2 Board
of Supervisors race
still up in the air
By Travis Fischer
The race for the Democratic nomination for Cerro Gordo County’s
District 2 Board of Supervisors seat
was still undecided after the votes
came in during Tuesday’s primary
election.
Receiving one vote more than the
next competitor, Adam Wedmore is
the front runner in the race with 159
votes.
“I’m feeling good,” said Wedmore. “I knew it was going to be a
challenge to get anywhere close to
the 35 percent mark. All in all, I think
we did very well.”
Michael Grandon came in second with 158 votes, with John Drury
trailing with 88 votes and Doug
Nelson bringing up the rear with 71
votes.
However, since no candidate
broke the 35 percent threshold, the
contest is still undecided. Wedmore
needs 10 absentee ballots to secure
the nomination while Grandon needs
11. If neither candidate reaches the
35 percent threshold after the absentee ballots are counted, then the decision will be made by delegates at the
county convention.
Scheduled for June 18, at 6 p.m.,
at the Cerro Gordo County Courthouse, the delegates will vote for
whichever candidate they think has
the best chance of winning in the November election.
Whoever is chosen as the Democratic nominee will be put up against
Republican Casey Callanan, who
won the Republican primary with
42.05 percent of the vote (524 votes)
over Ivan Good (303 votes) and Scott
Kennedy (415 votes).
In other primary elections, Shawn
Dietz received the Republican nomination for State Senator of District
27, receiving 62.53 percent of the
vote against Timothy Junker. Dietz
will go up against Democratic incumbent Amanda Ragan.
Democrat Todd Prichard will run
unopposed for State Representative
District 52, Democrat Sharon Steckman will run unopposed for State
Representative District 53, and Republican Linda Upmeyer will run
unopposed for State Representative
for District 54.
In the race for U.S. Senator, Joni
Ernst won the Republican nomination with 42.36 percent of the total
votes (809 votes), defeating competitors Mark Jacobs (608 votes), Sam
Clovis (365 votes), Matt Whitaker
(87 votes), and Scott Schaben (38
votes). Ernst will face off against
Bruce Braley, who ran unopposed in
the Democratic primary.
For U.S. Representative District
4, incumbent Republican Steve King
will be challenged by Democrat Jim
Mowrer.
Seeking re-election, Governor
Terry Branstad soundly defeated
Tom Hoefling for the Republican
nomination with 86.84 percent of the
vote. Branstad will face Democratic
challenger Jack Hatch in November.
In other unchallenged contests,
Republican Paul Pate will face-off
against Democrat Brad Anderson for
the position of Secretary of State.
Mary Mosiman (R) and Jonathan
Neiderbach (D) will run against each
other for the position of State Auditor.
Michael Fitzgerald (D) will run
unopposed for Treasurer of State.
Sherrie Taha (D) will challenge
incumbent Bill Northey (R) to be the
next Secretary of Agriculture.
Tom Miller (D) will run unopposed for Attorney General.
At the local level, incumbents
Patricia Wright, Colleen Pearce,
and Carlyle Dalen
will all run unopposed to
continue their
positions as
County Treasurer, County Recorder,
and County Attorney
respectively.
Franklin County residents
gather for Relay For Life
Local residents will gather on
July 26, from 11 a.m.-11 p.m., for
the Relay For Life of Franklin County. For more than a decade, Relay
For Life of Franklin Country has
raised $611,714.67 in support of the
American Cancer Society’s vision of
a world with less cancer and more
birthdays, while involving more than
2,500 participants who have combined to walk thousands of miles.
We have participants that have
been involved with the Relay For
Life of Franklin County since the
first Relay was held in Franklin
County, and we have teams that are
joining us for the very first time.
There is a story behind every Relay
participant that have been touched by
cancer in some way.
Relay brings together friends,
families, businesses, hospitals,
schools, faith-based groups – people
from all walks of life – all aimed at
celebrating the lives of those who
have had cancer, remembering those
lost, and fighting back against the
disease – it is time to finish the fight!
Relay For Life events are held as
individuals and teams gather at an
athletic track, park or other area, with
the goal of keeping at least one team
member on the track or pathway at
all times during the Relay event.
Teams do most of their fundraising
prior to the event, but some teams
also hold creative fundraisers at their
Relay event.
Relay For Life began in May
1985, when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a
colorectal surgeon, took the first step
of his 24-hour walk around a track in
Tacoma, Wash., and raised $27,000
to support the American Cancer Society.

Periodical
cicadas emerging
in Iowa
Periodical cicadas are emerging in the woods of Iowa after
living underground as nymphs
for 17 years.
These red-eyed periodical cicadas occur in the southeastern
half of Iowa, and in Missouri and
Illinois with other broods occurring at different times throughout the country. The best place to
find them is in native woodlands.
They are the longest living insect
in North America.
Periodical cicadas do not
have chewing mouth parts and
will feed only on sap, posing
little threat to plants. They will
not bite or sting.
Much like the annual cicadas,
adult males will “sing” from late
morning through early afternoon for five or six weeks after
hatching. This “singing” can be
incredibly loud due to the high
population of periodical cicadas
that emerge during each cycle.
Iowans who are lucky enough
to see periodical cicadas are encouraged to report their sighting
to the National Geographic Society Magicicada Mapping Project
at www.magicicada.org to help
researchers better understand
these long-lived insects.
More information on these
unique insects can be found
through the Iowa State University Department of Entomology
at www.ent.iastate.edu.

No additional deer
test positive for
chronic wasting disease
A deer shot during the regular gun
season in Allamakee County was the
lone positive out of more than 4,000
samples collected from 2013-14
looking for the presence of chronic
wasting disease (CWD) in Iowa.
That positive sample from a wild
deer was the focus of three public
meetings in April, where the DNR
engaged Allamakee and Clayton
County residents to work together to
increase surveillance and the number
of deer samples collected in a fivemile radius from where the positive
deer was harvested.

or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them
during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment
in ground breaking discovery research; and by fighting back by rallying
lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities
worldwide to join the fight.
As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research,
contributing more than $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer
into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America

“This additional surveillance, along with more than
1,100 deer sampled in the past
12 years in this immediate area,
will help us to determine if
CWD has spread to other deer.
If no further cases are found in
the next three years, we will go
back to routine testing,” said
Dr. Dale Garner, chief of wildlife for the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources. “If additional cases are found, we will
work with the public to decide
how to proceed.”
Since 2002, the Iowa DNR
has sampled nearly 51,000 wild
deer and 3,500 captive deer and
elk for CWD. A majority of
samples came from 11 counties in northeast Iowa, which
is the area closest to the CWD
endemic areas in Wisconsin and
Illinois, and Minnesota’s southeast containment area.
Sampling effort also concentrated on three areas surrounding captive facilities that
had animals test positive in
Iowa in 2012 and the area north
of where Missouri’s positive
CWD deer have been found.
No additional positive CWD
results have been found in wild
deer. The DNR is encouraging the public to report all road
kill deer, and sick or severely
emaciated deer found in the targeted area by calling 563-5467962 or 563-380-3422.

Letter to the Editor:
At Sukup Manufacturing we have a Relay For Life
team called “Solution Seekers.” We are happy to be
part of the Relay For Life because:
1. It’s a fun way to join together to raise money
to help fight cancer. There are many cancers that we
can now whip, and we couldn’t 10 or 20 years ago.
Research and the medical field has come a long way
in the battle against cancer.
2. When we go to the Relay For Life , we remember and honor those we have lost to cancer and what it
meant to them and us.
3. When we go to the Relay For Life event, we
celebrate and encourage the survivors!
4. It’s personal – we have had cancer or loved
someone who has. This is one way we can make a
difference.
5. It brings awareness of the disease – a big part of
surviving is early detection.
Sukup Solution Seekers Team: Diane Hughes,
Barb Hanig, Greg Hellman, Steve Waechter, Barbie
Waechter, Brent Hansen, Warren VanDyke, Christie
Brown, Pat Milota, Jordan O’Brien and Faith Wilkins.

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with Nintendo.
They’ve made some of the greatest games ever created. Their characters are among the most recognizable
in the world.
And yet, they can be incredibly
dumb sometimes.
Their current system, the Wii U, is
meant to compete with Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One.
This in spite of the fact that the system is nearly two years old and running on technology that was barely
up to the industry standards of the
previous generation.
But “behind the times” doesn’t
just describe the Wii U. It appears to
be Nintendo’s company motto.
In the age of Internet gaming,
Nintendo’s online infrastructure is
almost embarrassing. In 2012 Nintendo came up with the Nintendo
Network ID, which finally brought
Nintendo’s online social experience
up to the standard set by Microsoft’s
Xbox Live in 2002.
And while it’s possible to purchase games digitally from Nintendo’s E-Shop, the fact that those
games become locked to the console
you buy them on shows Nintendo
truly doesn’t understand the full potential of the Internet.
In comparison, I could go to any
random PC with an Internet connection, log on to Steam, and download
anything I’ve ever bought. If my
computer explodes, my library and
even some of my game saves will
still be there waiting for me when I
get my next computer up and running.
On the other hand, if my 3DS explodes, I lose not just it, but every
game I’ve downloaded onto it.
Nintendo has even been slow to
adapt to the world of video game
streaming. The number of people
who watch other people play video
games doubled from 2012 to 2013.
Twitch.tv reaches 45 million unique
viewers per month. YouTube videos
of people playing games are, by far,
the largest audience builders on the
site.
So naturally, Nintendo has gone
out of their way to alienate as many
of those people as possible. First by
strong-arming ad revenue away from
the people who showcase their games
on YouTube, then by attempting to
shut down last year’s “Super Smash
Bros.” tournament at the annual Evo
convention. Backlash caused them
to retract their demands and the tournament generated a record-breaking
100,000 concurrent viewers.
So is Nintendo hopeless?
Well, not quite. There is hope. In
fact, in the last year or so it seems
that Nintendo has realized that it isn’t
2004 anymore.
The newly released “Mario Kart
U.S. Cellular
Is in Belmond at
Allen Home Center!

past weekend. Andy and Danielle Campbell of Waukee and Angie
Campbell of North Liberty were guests at the Campbell home. Her
friend Dan and their dog Chester accompanied Angie. All enjoyed a
BBQ outside and Andy and Angie practiced for a performance at the
upcoming Relay for Life in Sheffield.

Managing pond plants
Pond plants are necessary for healthy fish populations and good water quality, but can become a nuisance and cause frustration to pond
users. In trying to make pond access easier, the trick is to reduce plant
abundance without getting rid of them altogether.
Correctly identifying the plants is the first step to controlling their
abundance. To help with this, the Iowa DNR has just posted a Pond Plant
Identification Guide at www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/AboutFishinginIowa/
IowaFarmPonds/FarmPondPlants.aspx.
This interactive, visual guide identifies 26 most common aquatic
plant species in Iowa ponds and lakes.
8” allows players to upload replays
of their races directly to YouTube.
Granted, that’s a far cry from the
sharing features of the Xbox One or
PS4, but at least it shows that Nintendo is aware of YouTube’s significance among their audience.
Another positive sign is the upcoming “Super Smash Bros.” game.
Although the game has been played
competitively for years, Nintendo
has never really embraced that community. Until now.
Along with the latest version of
the game including features dedicated to the hardcore crowd, by the time
this column sees print Nintendo will
have hosted the first Super Smash
Bros. Invitational. Sixteen of the top
Smash Bros. players will compete in
the first authorized contest, streamed
live on Twitch.tv.
Nintendo has a long way to go
to get out of the tailspin they are in.
Some of their problems, like the inferior technology of the Wii U, are just
things they’re going to have to deal
with for the time being.
Other problems, like the Wii U’s
$299 price point and the unnecessarily necessary game pad, have solutions, but they will be painful in the
short run.
But more than anything else, Nintendo needs a heavy dose of reality.
This is nothing new. Nintendo has
been their own worst enemy since
1996 when the company stubbornly
chose to stick with expensive cartridges to contain their games when
its competitors moved on to CDs.
The best thing Nintendo can do at
this point is take a page out of Microsoft’s book. Listen to what the userbase wants, and give it to them.
Travis Fischer is a news writer
for Mid-America Publishing and will
probably break down and get a Wii U
once the new Zelda is announced.

Tim Nuehring, on behalf of the Rockwell
Lions Club, thanked the Council for the past
support of their summer events. Nuehring noted
that the National Truck Pulls will be held here on
July fourth and fifth this year. Nuehring asked
for the noise ordinance to be waived for the two
nights as well as for Council approval to have
fireworks following the Friday night show. Nuehring noted the fireworks would be shot from the
drive way to the North of the Chamber Acres
property and go out over the field; the Fire Department would be doing the display. Brown
moved to waive the noise ordinance for the July
fourth and fifth NTPA event sponsored by the
Rockwell Lions Club. Motion seconded by Bills,
carried unanimously. Nuehring also asked for
approval to allow the use of ATV’s around town
for the weekend. Flatness noted that they need
to be street legal and visible. Worley moved to
allow use of street legal ATV’s for the event with
the rules and guide lines given to the pullers at
their meeting. Motion seconded by Brown, carried unanimously.
Following discussion, Brown moved to allow
the Lions Club to have a fireworks display after
the NTPA pull event on Friday, July 4. Motion
seconded by Wentz, carried unanimously.
Nuehring stated that they will have a meeting with the EMT’s, Fire Department and Chief
Whitney to make sure everyone is on the same
page for the services needed during the event.
Nuehring noted that in the past they have had
to pay Chief Whitney at an overtime rate and
asked if his schedule would accommodate the
event within his regular hours to help the Club
with the expenditure. Flatness stated that everything would have to fall within his routine shift
times, and this is a holiday weekend. Flatness
noted that the Lions Club should set the times
and additional security up with Chief Whitney as
they feel is needed. Mayor Sheldon noted that
the Lions Club could provide their own security
as the Fire Department does at their event. Flatness noted that no alcohol can be used in doing
so. Nuehring also asked about traffic control following the event.
Nuehring noted that they are setting permanent bleachers for seating, including handi-cap
acceptable seating. Mayor Sheldon stated that
the Rockwell Lions Club was voted the best
event by the NTPA pullers last year. Nuehring
noted that the event is successful with the help
of the community and thanked the Council for
their support as he left the meeting.
Bills moved to approve the liquor license
renewal for the Rockwell American Legion Club
and the six-month special liquor license for the
Rockwell Chamber. Motion seconded by Worley, carried unanimously.
Siefken presented estimates from Heartland
Asphalt for street work with the total amount being $41,513. The estimate includes a portion of
Third Street North and some patching; Siefken
noted that the intake at Third and Elm Street
needs to be taken care of prior to paving the
street. Flatness noted that he would like to see
the cost stay at the $30,000 range previously
discussed. Siefken felt that if one portion was
eliminated we could do that and follow up with
that portion next year. Bills noted other storm
sewer intakes that need to be looked at as the
water stands with minimal rain. Siefken will look
into these more. Following discussion, Flatness
moved to allocated up to $33,000 for street work
and repairs for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. Bills
asked about putting a man hole at the intake on
Third and Elm Street. Siefken felt that would be
a good idea. Motion seconded by Bills, carried
unanimously.
Mayor Sheldon thanked the Council for past
support with the water bill for the Linn Grove
Country Club. Mayor Sheldon noted that the
past Council allowed for $5,000 within this fiscal budget that was not expended last season
and asked to use some of the remaining for the
current billing. Council agreed to do so. Mayor
Sheldon also asked for the Council to support
the Country Club with the same this season.
Flatness moved to allocate $5,000 from local option community betterment funds for the
2014-2015 fiscal budget for watering the course.
Motion seconded by Brown, carried unanimously.
Siefken reported that the work is going very
well with the Madison Street Bridge project. Flatness asked about the lights. Siefken noted he
will get the information for the next meeting.
Flatness moved to go into closed session
to discuss employee evaluations and salaries at
8:10 p.m. Motion seconded by Brown, carried
unanimously. Nelson, Fischer and Siefken left
the meeting.
At 9:28 p.m. Mayor Sheldon opened the regular meeting of the Rockwell City Council with
all Council members being present and Fischer
returning. Flatness moved to set the employee
benefits and salary for the 2014-2015 fiscal budget to include a two percent across the board
increase, continue the $570 clothing allowance
with the receipts turned in to the Clerk to be
paid, employee health insurance remaining the
same with employees paying $100 per month
for a single plan and $200 per month for a family
plan with the $500 out of pocket expense used
towards the employee payments, all employees
have the right to choose between comp time or
overtime wages for overtime hours worked, all
compensatory time shall be used within the next
pay period of work or paid out in overtime wages, with all current comp time being used within
90 days of the new fiscal year. Motion seconded
by Bills, carried unanimously.
Flatness asked about the REDC building.
Bills noted they had a meeting and are closing
up the windows and looking to see what can be
done with the building. Wentz noted the REDC
has been having regular meetings.
Worley asked about the front portion of
the building on Main and Fourth Street. Mayor
Sheldon noted that the property owner may also
have to take this remaining portion down.
With no further business, Worley moved
to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by
Brown, carried unanimously.

By Kristi Nixon
NASHUA – Nashua-Plainfield grabbed an
early lead en route to a 9-4 Corn Bowl Conference softball win over West Fork on Wednesday,

The Warhawks started to put things together
against Huskie pitcher Lexi Miller, scoring three
runs in the seventh, but the rally came up short.
Courtney Larson hit 2-for-4, including a double and two RBI, scoring a run for West Fork to
lead the offense.
Ahna Larson gave up five hits, but only two of
the eight runs she allowed were earned as she ran
into some trouble in N-P’s five-run fifth inning.
