The Auxiliary of the American Legion Gallagher
Post #208 from Rockwell co-sponsored a spooktactular event on October 27, at the Rockwell Community
Nursing Home. This was the third year the two groups
combined to provide fun for all ages.
Levy The Great, a well-known local entertainer
presented his magical illusions for the crowd of all
ages to enjoy. Nearly 50 youngsters then divided into
age brackets and paraded for the residents. At that
point, three local community members, Sue Adams,
Carolyn Nuehring and Ranae Gossweiler, found it very
difficult to choose a winner for three categories per age
group. All contestants were awarded a participation
medal and Halloween candy treat.
Soon after, the residents passed out goodies as the
children showed off their costumes. Winners received
a two dollar bill in each category.
For age group one to two-year-olds: Most Halloween, Morgan Otten. Most Comical, Jaxxen Hitzhusen.
Most Original, Averi Werner.
Age group three to four-year-olds: Most Halloween, Evelyn Hitzhusen. Most Comical, Vincent Gauley.
Most Original, Ryker Reimers.
Five-year-old age group: Most Halloween, Slater
Weydert. Most Comical, Kiden Brown. Most Original,
Ava Gauley.
Six-year-old age group: Most Halloween, Maddie
Otten. Most Comical, Chloe Miller. Most Original,
Eastyn Petersen.
Seven-year-old age group: Most Halloween,
Declynn Woods. Most Comical, Breea Weaver. Most
Original, Casey Fessler.
Eight-year-olds and above age group: Most Halloween, Cylver Woods and Madisyn Bonner. Most Comical, Rachel Hitchcock. Most Original, Hunter Petersen.

salad, hot dish or dessert to share.

Swaledale boy killed in grain truck accident
By Nick Pedley
Area residents are mourning
the death of a young boy following a grain truck accident Nov.
1 near the Five Star Co-Op on
Main Street in Swaledale.
Devlin Obregon, 7, was
playing alongside the road with
friends around 6:43 p.m. when
the accident occurred. According to a preliminary investigation by the Cerro Gordo County
Sheriff’s Office, Obregon and
other children were running
alongside grain trucks and attempting to get them to honk
their horns as they pulled into
the elevator. Cerro Gordo County Sheriff Kevin Pals said Obregon apparently got too close to
a truck driven by Robert Quinlan, 37, of Rockwell, and was
hit when Quinlan turned into the
elevator from the north.
The investigation is ongoing,
but Pals said it appears Obregon
was running in Quinlan’s blind
spot and wasn’t visible to him
when he made the turn.
“Everyone’s going to want
answers about why this sevenyear-old in Swaledale died after getting hit by a grain truck,”
Pals said. “But that’s why they
call them accidents. It’s just a
terrible situation to even be in.”
The Rockwell-Swaledale
EMTs, Swaledale Fire Department, Mercy Air Life, Iowa
State Patrol and Mason City
Fire Medics assisted the Cerro
Gordo County Sheriff’s Office
at the scene. A release from the
sheriff’s office said Obregon
was transported to Mercy Medical Center North Iowa where he
was later pronounced dead.
Pals said the Iowa State Patrol is assisting with the accident
investigation. However, he said
criminal charges against Quinlan were unlikely.
“We don’t expect any at this
point,” Pals said on Monday.
“Our preliminary investigation
at the scene didn’t give us any
reason to think there will be any
later, either.”
Rockwell-Swaledale EMT
Service Director Adam Wedmore was unable to comment
on the accident, but said it was a
difficult call for the local group
to receive
“When something like this
happens in a small town, it’s
tough,” he said.
Pals said the accident was
tragic, and something he hasn’t
experienced during his career in

read his obituary.
Obregon was a second grader
at West Fork. The district didn’t
have classes on Monday due to
a scheduled faculty development
day, but Superintendent Darrin Strike said workers from the
AEA 267 Crisis Response Team
were on hand to help faculty and
district patrons cope with the tragedy. He said a note was sent out
welcoming both students and parents to the use the AEA’s services
if they needed help.
Strike said the district was
thankful for the team’s assistance.
He explained the agency helps
people work through grief, and
said they planned on being there
to assist students and faculty
when classes resumed Tuesday.
“Our district has been saddened by this event. I’ve observed
a lot of people supporting one
another,” said Strike. “It’s something that’s never happened in my
seven years here. It’s one of those
things that once it happens, it’s
one too many.”
Funeral services for Obregon
were held on Wednesday at Faith
Baptist Church in Mason City.
Memorials may be directed to the
Devlin Obregon Memorial Fund.

Rockwell’s very own Pig
Skin BBQ came home with yet
another monumental victory
Oct. 26 in Lynchburg, Tenn.,
adding to their already stellar
barbecue résumé.
The team – comprised of
Scott and Katy Nelson and their
five children – won first place in
the Winner’s Circle at the 25th
Annual Jack Daniel’s World
Championship Invitational Barbecue. The event is one of competetive barbecuing’s most prestigious contests and draws cooks
from across the United States
and overseas.
“It feels pretty awesome,”
said Scott. “Freaking amazing,
actually.”
Pig Skin BBQ is no stranger
to the limelight. The family team
took top honors out of around
80 contenders at the Lynchburg
competition in 2012 and has
also won at many other events
nationwide. Last year’s victory in Lynchburg landed them
$5,000 and an automatic invitation to this October’s contest,
but 2013’s competition greeted
the team with a little twist.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of “The Jack,” 23 of
the contest’s past winners were
invited to compete in a separately judged event dubbed “The
Winner’s Circle.” Scott said it
was an honor just to be a part of

towards barbecuing stuck with Scott,
and he and his wife love bonding
with their children at the competitions.
“It was a hobby that was inherited, and it’s a great way to spend
family time together,” Nelson said.
“We’ve also met some great friends
along the circuit and it’s just been a
really fun experience.”
Scott and Katy currently operate
Mason City Chiropractic in Mason
City. Despite their recent success,
they have no plans to pack up shop
and hit the road to chase barbecue
glory – they’re happy keeping it a
weekend hobby.
But that doesn’t mean they’ve become complacent, either.
“We have no plans on slowing
down,” Scott said. “We want to be
legends of barbecue. We want to win
all the majors at some point.”

“Table” proved to be the buzzword of choice Monday night in
Thornton, as the city council was
unable to come to a consensus
on a long list of old business that
topped the agenda.
Lauren Moore and her mother,
Bev, met with the council for the
second month in a row to give a
progress update on a project at the
old school yard. Lauren is working towards her Silver Award in
Girl Scouts and wants to build
a bus shelter there as part of her
community service project. However, she’s hit a minor snag.
Bev was informed by Girl
Scout officials that Lauren can’t
solicit donations for the project
due to certain restrictions. She
can, however, ask for donations
of materials for things like wood,
nails and other construction items.
Confounding the issue is the
type of structure she wants to
build. It’s a gazebo-like building
that comes from Menards in pieces, which would make it somewhat difficult for people to donate
materials because they’re already
pre-packaged.
Bev described yet another
quirk of the whole fundraising
process. Though Lauren can’t ask
for monetary donations, people
can choose to give them voluntarily.
“Somebody can come up and
say, ‘Here’s $50 for your project,” but we cannot ask for that,”
explained Bev. “They don’t care
where the money comes from, just
as long as Lauren isn’t asking.”
The council wondered if a local community betterment group
could help out with the project’s
cost. Council Member Barry
Groh suggested investigating
whether or not Mission Thornton
or the Lions Club could assist with
funding. Bev and Lauren were
somewhat unsure about the exact
restrictions, and they said they’d
find out more and get back to the
council as the project progresses.
“I’m a little frustrated with the
Girls Scouts right now, but we’ll
work it out,” said Bev.
The council shifted their attention to old business after the shelter update from the Moores. Water
drainage issues, quotes for a new
city lawn mower and Main Street
sidewalk issues all highlighted the
agenda, but no action was taken
on any of them.
Public Works Director Tom
Janeka reported at the council’s
October meeting that portions
of the sidewalk on the north side
of Main Street had mysteriously
raised up in certain spots over
the past year. The bumps range
from half an inch to two inches
in height, and there’s been at least
one instance of somebody tripping.
The council agreed to send
letters to the sidewalks’ owners last month, but they strayed
away from that method after a
special meeting with legal council. The proposed letters said the
city would fix the sidewalks at the
expense of the property owners if
they chose not to do so; however,
they were never sent because the
council felt it was too harsh and
unfriendly.
The council’s opinion about
the sidewalks shifted somewhat.
They felt it was too late into the
fall season to fix them before winter hits, but they agreed something
needed to be done eventually. The
issue was tabled until spring when
they will discuss the possibility of
repairs and complete replacement.
Other business
Recycling dates for November
were set. Paper will be picked up
on Thursday, the 14th, and plastics
will be picked up along with trash
on Tuesday, the 26th.
The council will meet next on
Monday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. The
group agreed to change their
meeting date to a week later because Mayor Joy Baker will be out
of town on Dec. 2.

the elite group, if not a little intimidating.
“The Jack is already the only true
world championship in competitive
barbecuing, because teams from all
over the world come,” he explained.
“Only one other team in The Jack’s
history had one back-to-back championships like this. To come out on
top against the best-of-the-best of all
them is just incredible.”
It’s unlikely anyone would challenge Nelson’s claims. According to
Jill Meyer, public relations consultant for Jack Daniel’s, contestants
must meet a long list of criteria before they’re invited to compete in
The Jack.
Teams must win a state championship with at least 25 teams or a
competition of 50 teams, or win one
of the premiere barbecue competitions that qualify a team for an automatic berth. Each team competed
in seven categories – pork ribs, pork
shoulder/butts, beef brisket, chicken,
dessert, cook’s choice and Jack Daniel’s sauce.
“It’s definitely a big win for
them,” Meyer said.
Pigskin BBQ is a member of
the Kansas City Barbeque Society
(KCBS) and competes in many sanctioned cook-offs across America.
Nelson said categories at each contest are usually the same, which allows for a more controlled environment at the KCBS events.
“It’s standardized – it’s kind of
like the McDonald’s of barbecue,” he
said. “You always know what you’re
cooking.”
Though Pig Skin BBQ has been
on the competitive barbecue circuit
for just over five years, their recent
success is no fluke. Scott’s passion
for smoking meat began when his
father, Steve, introduced him to the
hobby years ago. The duo has competed together and against one another in the past, but Nelson said they’ve
always had fun no matter what.

The annual Pro-Ag Outlook meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Nov.
14. The first presenter will be Kelvin
Leibold, Area Farm Management
Specialist. Kelvin will discuss how
using “short dated new-crop options”
can be used to manage risk. Kelvin
will also discuss the updates to the
Corn Suitability Rating system.
Managing price risk and yield risk is
critical as profit margins narrow.
Dr. Chad Hart will discuss the
market outlook for corn and soybeans. The U.S. has seen huge
swings in the estimated production
for this year’s crops, and increasing
inventory is impacting prices. High
prices have encouraged increased
production around the globe. You
won’t want to miss the information
on the supply and demand for corn
and soybeans in the coming months
along with the impacts on prices.
The third speaker for the afternoon is Shane Ellis presenting on the
outlook for beef and pork. Shane will
also be discussing how the livestock
industry may respond to current pro-

Food banks have been used
heavily by people now and during
the Great Depression. North Central
Iowa was hit hard and is still in
the process of recovery from plant
closings and loss of jobs.
The State Legislature last session
gave monies to the food banks across
the state and it has given Food Banks
a chance to do the work at hand.
We have even heard of a food bank
turning people away.
Senator Dennis Guth has recently
stated that giving state monies to
food banks is wrong, and that people
in need, need to grow a garden. He
has a study that we need to follow.
A garden is a great idea. But it takes
time to grow a garden and people
don’t plan on being short of food.
Senator Guth can hand someone
a hoe and tell them to plant a garden
when they are hungry. Senator
Guth’s plan is just not in touch with
the real world. Also gardens in the
winter-time just don’t work.
Kevin Pearson
Meservey, Iowa
While everyone else was getting
spooked by last week’s Halloween
festivities, I was forced to face my
own terrifying reality more than four
years in the making.
The repayment period for my college student loans began.
I knew it was coming. After all,
those loans were the only reason I
was able to graduate last May. But
I still liked living in a cloud of selfinflicted ignorance over these past
few months. My bank account stayed
relatively comfortable, as rent, groceries and utilities were my only true
financial obligations.
Nonetheless, here I sit reluctantly
staring at a large hole of debt that’s
slowly growing bigger as interest accumulates. I’ll admit, it’s quite an intimidating scene. I never thought I’d
owe such a huge sum of money, but
I’ve realized I’m much more lucky
than most of my friends. I didn’t have
to pay out-of-state tuition, I didn’t
need to take any extra semesters of
class, and I was fortunate enough to
find employment immediately after
graduation.
Things could definitely be worse.
I’m no doubt facing a drawn out
struggle with loans for the foreseeable future, and that’s a reality I’ve
come to accept. However, my plight
is but one example of a larger issue that’s become the norm here in
Iowa and across the nation. Student
loan debt and the increasing cost of
a college education have shackled
America’s younger generation for
the decades to come.
The numbers don’t lie. According
to various studies and government
statistics, the nation’s collective
3HGOH\·V3RQGHULQJV

and a reporter for the Hampton Chronicle,
The Sheffield Press, and Pioneer Enterprise.
student loan debt has surpassed $1
trillion; the average student finishes
college with a cloud of $26,500 of
debt hanging over their head; and 41
percent of graduates work jobs that
don’t even require a four-year degree
after they receive their diplomas.
This doesn’t exactly correlate
with what my guidance counselors
were telling my as I shopped for colleges five years ago in high school.
They were constantly giving my
fellow classmates and I the timehonored lecture that a college degree
was the all-powerful key to future
success. I don’t recall them delving
too deeply in to the financial side of
things, other than reminding us to fill
out our federal loan applications so
we could actually pay for our classes.
I’m not bitter about all this debt,
however. I’m glad I went to college
and experienced a world outside of
my small hometown in northwest
Iowa. I met new people, learned
about different subjects and experienced things I never could have if I
hadn’t gone. They say a college education is an investment for the future,
and I guess I bought into that adage
both figuratively and literally.
Even so, I think it’s important
high schoolers start looking more
closely at whether or not college is
the right fit after they graduate. Quite

a few people I met during my time at
the University of Iowa dropped out
one or two years after they started.
Their reasons were many, but most
quit because they didn’t know what
they wanted to do, and they were
racking up quite a large bill trying to
figure it out.
There are many alternatives out
there for students besides blindly
jumping into college on a wing and
a prayer. Our state has an excellent
network of community colleges that
allow people to test the waters and
earn credit at much lower cost than
a four-year institution. The college
experience is great, but it’s costing
more and more each year. It’s important students investigate all their options before they sign on to such an
expensive contract.
I suppose all of this analysis is
somewhat hypocritical. I had my
sights set on Iowa since I was a kid
and probably would have gone there
no matter what. It was a great four
years and I’m happy I did it. However, I can’t help but think I would
have thought twice if I had really
looked long and hard at the mountain of cash it was going to cost me.
I know now, and I’ll be paying for it
for quite some time.
Oh, how ignorance was bliss.

Warhawk cheerleaders narrowly miss out on trophy at state competition
By Nick Pedley
The West Fork cheerleading
squad turned in a sixth place performance at the Iowa Cheerleading
Championships Saturday, just missing the top five and a chance to bring
home some hardware.
“I think the girls were a little disappointed. To know they were really
close to being in the top five was kind
of a bummer for them,” said head
coach Amanda Dannen. “But they
did good.”
Eighteen teams comprised the
Class 2A bracket with West Fork at
the event, which was held at the state
fair grounds in Des Moines. Though
the girls might have been disappointed by their sixth place overall finish,
the day wasn’t without its highlights.
West Fork’s five-person stunt team
won fifth place honors in the stunting
contest against a list of great competition.
“That was the first time we did
that, and they did very well,” Dannen
said.
The stunt team – comprised of
Taylor Logan, Lea Johnson, Jacee
Arbegast, Siera Jeffrey and Allison
Novothey – was given one minute to
do their routine with music. Dannen
said the group had to do as many elite
stunts as they could in that amount of
time to the best of their ability. The
girls were judged on their dance and
motion, jumping and tumbling, and
stunting and partnership.
Dannen said the girls worked hard
over the past two months to get the
routine down just right.
“You kind of stay with what
you’re good at and figure it out
during the football season, then stick
those in the routine for state,” she
said.
This was the second year Dannen
brought her team to the state competition. Last year, the Warhawks
placed third. Dannen explained that
no qualifying events are held prior
to the Des Moines competition, but
coaches must be members of the
Iowa Cheerleading Coaches’ Association for their teams to be eligible.
According to Dannen, the state
meet has seen a surge in interest recently.
“It’s definitely growing. Just a few
teams from north Iowa went when I
was in high school, but this year they
had four from the Corn Bowl Conference alone,” she said.
As interest in cheerleading grows
statewide, so too does the sport’s
popularity at West Fork. Dannen said
around 25 girls tried out in the spring
for this year’s 12-member team. The
state meet was the group’s second
competition this fall and they plan on
going to another one in Johnston this
weekend.
Dannen said the girls’ desire to
compete led her to sign them up for
more meets over the past two years.
She brought the team to the state
meet in 2011 to see if it was something they’d like to do, and the girls
jumped on board.
“It was the girls that wanted to
do it, and I think they really enjoy
it,” said Dannen. “There’s more interest with the competition, as well.
There’s just a little bit more interest
that comes with the challenge and
recognition of competition.”
I think the girls were
a little disappointed.
To know they were
really close to being
in the top five was
kind of a bummer
for them. But they
did good.

What are the Warhawks
Doing Next Week?

FORT DODGE – With a big
grin while clutching the Class 1A
state runner-up trophy for photo
opportunities, West Fork senior
Markus Wogen talked about how far
he’s come.
As one of two Warhawk seniors
who went out on “the deck,” an honor
reserved for the top three teams at
the state cross country meet at Fort
Dodge, it was a different experience
for Wogen.
“It’s really nice having it,” Wogen
said, admiring the hardware. “It’s
definitely been fun working hard
with everybody.
“It was really nice because there
were a lot of people – we’re not really
used to running against this many
people and having this many people
watching us when we’re running, so
that is definitely different. It’s just
been a nice feeling.”
The Warhawks were second only
to Denver, the top-ranked team
heading into the meet, 89-119.
Fellow Warhawk senior Colton
Rowe, who was the fourth finisher
for West Fork in 18 minutes, 17.2
seconds, said it was great to end on
this note.
“It was just awesome,” Rowe
said. “The whole time that was our
goal to make it top three and then
we ended up getting second. It was
everything we hoped for.”
The Warhawks were led once
again by junior Peyton Twedt,
who crossed the finish line second
individually. He had a battle going
with eventual champion senior Kyle
Kehoe of Denver until the final
stretch.
He came across the line in 16:37,
a new personal best, but 20 seconds
behind the champion.
Up until a half mile to go, Twedt
led the race with Kehoe on his heels.
“We were going side-by-side
and then Kehoe kicked it and I tried
staying with him, and then right at
the turn, I was out,” Twedt said. “I
didn’t have enough and he just kept
going and he finished it.
“I’ve got to be happy…second,
you want to win…and I’m upset
I didn’t; but I got second and I’m
happy with that – I’m runner-up.”
Twedt, who finished 12th a
year ago, had multi-colored hair –
something he and his teammates
agreed to do before the statequalifying meet.
“I had the team sign a contract
that if we made it to state we’d have
to do something with our hair and we
all did something,” Twedt said. “I
just kind of went crazy with the color
in it.”
For Rowe, he bleached his hair
and had the letters ‘WF’ emblazoned
in the back.
“We actually had to sign a contract

to run at districts – to agree to bleach
our hair if we made it down here and
everybody did it,” Rowe said. “It was
just a fun team-building event that
we did.”
Freshman Jacob Hansen finished
10th to medal in 16:55.7, the only
freshman boy to earn a medal in all
four classes.
All of the West Fork team scoring
is returning except for Rowe,
which will bring high hopes for the
Warhawks going into next cross
country season.
Coach Mark Twedt let his team
know they can be happy, but not
satisfied.
“I’m very happy with how this
team has done,” coach Twedt said.
“At the start of the year, there weren’t
a lot of people who were going to
pick us second and so for that I’m
very happy.
“I want them to be happy about
today – they did a very good job,
great season. We have kids who are
already thinking about next year,
‘OK, maybe we can win.’ That’s the
goal we have and that’s what they
need to have. That’s a great goal. Our
goal today was to win and I knew it
was going to be a tall order, but that
was our goal. But, Denver was better
than us.”
Coach Twedt added that all year
long, Denver was the top-ranked
team in Class 1A and his team started
unranked and worked its way up to
third before the Warhawks became
the runner-up squad.
More than his own runner-up
finish, Peyton Twedt was glad for the
team second-place trophy.
“That was the best thing of the day,
to get second as a team – get those
seniors up there because they’ve
worked so many years to get that and
they finally did it,” said Twedt, who
was third in the final rankings before
the state meet. “They can be happy
that their hard work finally paid off.”
And, like his dad said, he is
already thinking about next year.
“I’ve got to keep doing what I’m
doing, work harder,” said the younger
Twedt. “Especially with what we did
this year, everybody is going to be
hungry to come back and do better
next year. Times will drop and we’ll
work hard in the off-season.”
Rowe said he hopes the team can
return next year.
“We’re all feeling great,” Rowe
said. “I’m just hoping that they can
come down here next year and get
first and keep the legacy.”
Wogen said he never thought this
would happen.
“It’s a lot different than my
freshman year,” Wogen said. “Then,
I never would have dreamed we
would have been down here and we
ended up doing it, so it’s been just
great going out like this.”
