IN THIS ISSUE OPINION ..........................3 PUBLIC NOTICES .............4 CLASSIFIEDS ....................5 SPORTS ............................8 Pork Plant Fails In Mason City BY TRAVIS FISCHER After weeks of controversy, the debate surrounding the proposed pork processing facility was finally put to rest by the city council of Mason City on May 3 as the development agreement between the city and Prestage Foods of Iowa failed to pass a vote for approval. Last December, Mason City was approached by Prestage Foods through the North Iowa Corridor Economic Development Corporation to develop a large scale pork processing plant outside of the south side of the city. The facility, which would process up to 10,000 hogs per day, was projected to generate 922 full-time jobs with a payroll of $43 million once opened, and the potential for the number of jobs to nearly double with a second shift in the future. Mason City worked out a development agreement with Prestage Foods to build the facility, which quickly became a controversial discussion throughout the area. The city council was required to hold three public hearings before approving the development agreement, each of which became marathon sessions as dozens of people lined up to share their concerns or voice their support of the project. Swaledale Mayor John Drury was one of several people that spoke out against the facility during the public hearing. Like many others, Drury expressed a concern that the pork processing facility would encourage the development of large hog confinements in the surrounding area. “I find it unlikely that the industry will fill the projected shortfall of hogs without more of these facilities,” said Drury. “I find it unlikely that Prestage would offer a buffer zone around Mason City and Clear Lake if they didn’t think there would be more, and I find it unlikely that city council members would be invited to take tours of these facilities if more weren’t on the way.” In the development agreement between Prestage and Mason City, the company has promised to refuse to take hogs from any hog confinement within two-anda-half miles from the city limits of Mason City or Clear Lake. However, no such consideration was given to other communities in the area, nor were leaders of those communities invited to the negotiation table. “The two-and-a-half mile buffer zone offered from Prestage probably seems like a good thing to you,” said Drury. “Speaking as one that is responsible for a public water supply outside of that zone, I see it as nothing more than insult upon injury. All of us should realize that at no time has the North Iowa area ever been defined as a two-and-a-half mile radius around Mason City and Clear Lake.” “The irony here is that Prestage put the buffer zone in to the agreement to be a good neighbor to Mason City. But if you agree to it, then Mason City becomes a bad neighbor to the rest of us.” Drury wasn’t the only area resident to speak at the public forum. Tom Floy, a long time pork farmer in rural Thornton, was supportive of the facility and shared his experience in dealing with hog confinements. “I have two 4,000 head facilities within a mile of me,” said Floy. “These concerns about the values of property, I disagree with totally.” Floy said that the presence of his hog facilities hasn’t prevented new houses in the surrounding area from being built or sold and concerns about the smell have been overstated. “We still have more concerns to deal with, but I see big opportunities for the City of Mason City,” said Floy. “I want to see Mason City thrive a nd be a boom town.” After the public forum, the council members shared their own opinions before voting on WARHAWK GIRLS, BOYS 2ND AT ST. ANSGAR the development agreement. Cou ncil members Travis Hickey, Janet Solberg, and Brett Schoneman came down in favor of the project, believing it to be one of the best opportunities for economic growth that Mason City was going to get. “I’ve been on the economic development board for six years now. These projects just don’t happen to come along,” said Hickey. “This is no sweetheart deal. This is a great deal for the community.” Council member Alex Kuhn was not convinced. Kuhn had previously voted against the development agreement, stating that he felt the agreement would be too costly for the city. An amendment raising the minimum assessment of the facility from 100 million to 125 million did not satisfy that concern. Council member John Lee also shared Kuhn’s concern, particularly about the impact that a large inf lux of new students would have on the school system without additional funding to support them. “There is a gap, and it’s a big gap, and it makes me nervous,” said Lee. The third vote against the project came from Bill Schikel, who believed that it had become too controversial to succeed, regardless of the actual outcome. “For this thing to work, it must have acceptance in the community,” said Schickel. “My head tells me this project could be a good thing, but my heart tells me that it’s creating too much turmoil and the social cost could be too high.” With a 3-3 vote, the motion to approve the development agreement failed and with it the possibility of building the plant in Cerro Gordo County. $ 1 PER ISSUE Rockwell approves dueling pianos fundraiser BY TRAVIS FISCHER “It’s unfortunate that it didn’t work out,” said Chad Schreck, president of the North Iowa Corridor. While the economic development group is continuing to talk with Prestage, the rejection by Mason City limits their options. Along with access to the interstate, use of Mason City’s water and sewer infrastructure was a critical component to the project. “Mason City is really the only place that would have the capacity to meet their infrastructure needs,” said Schreck. “That’s why that site was really ideally suited for the project. Anywhere else would be really tough.” While the pork plant may not be fated for Mason City, that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t find a home elsewhere in the area. According to Karen Mitchell, director of Franklin County Development Association, Prestage has indicated that they would prefer to stay in Iowa. While Mitchell said that she doesn’t know if Prestage has considered Franklin County, the board of supervisors has requested a meeting with the company to get more information about the project. The Rockwell City Council discussed speed limits and cell phones during their regular meeting on Wednesday, May 4 at City Hall. Rockwell Fire Chief Mark Lowe was present at the meeting to ask the council permission to close the street near Rockwell Area Market for Dueling Pianos. The street will be closed from 2:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, to accommodate the annual fundraising event. This is the first year holding the event on a Saturday instead of a Friday, which Lowe hopes will encourage more people to attend the fundraiser. Mike Brown was also present at the meeting to request that a speed limit sign be placed on Main Street going east out of the city. Brown has noticed that many drivers ignore the 25 MPH speed limit as they leave the city and suggested placing a sign on the corner of 5th Street as a reminder. “Hopefully that will start slowing people down,” said Brown. In old business, the council discovered an additional benefit to providing a work specific cell phone for the police department. Originally the council agreed to purchase a new phone so that law enforcement specific apps can be used without compromising Police Chief Rick Whitney’s personal phone. In shopping for new phone service, the council discovered that, in addition to the new phone, the city can replace the mobile internet hotspot in the city police cruiser with an unlimited data plan for less than they currently pay for mobile internet alone. “It’s a no brainer,” said council member Andy Johnson. Finally, Police Chief Whitney updated the council on several nuisance properties in the city, providing photos and brief summaries of various violations. The city will be sending out another wave of letters to property owners to encourage them to bring their properties under compliance. WF FFA barn open house is May 17 The West Fork FFA Chapter will hold an open house at the West Fork Agricultural Learning Center on Tuesday, May 17 from 8:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. Information available at the open house will include: • Members and their livestock projects at the barn; • Information about the crop, test plot and tree area; • A list of the sponsors and donations received for the barn; • The physical progress made to the barn – recognition of the students and individuals that have donated many hard hours to the barn and; • The overall goal for the Learning Center – what the barn will be used for. The open house is an opportunity to show the public that this it isn’t just an old barn. It is a chance to show the community how FFA impacts student lives and how it brings people together. The event is open to the public. Refreshments will also be served. Swaledale Garden Club members planted a bush at Swaledale City Park. SUBMITTED PHOTO Swaledale Garden Club notes The Swaledale Garden Club appreciated a lovely day to clean the butterfly garden/monarch waystation at city park. The group met April 23 and enjoyed a morning of working outside, getting their hands dirty and planting a new ninebark bush in the butterfly garden. They also worked on getting some weeding taken care of. Although a crabapple tree had been planted previously, the ninebark was a latest installment of a memorial from Frances Schwichtenberg, a longtime member of the garden club. After working outside, the meeting moved into the Community Center where eight of the members met for a brief meeting. Refreshments were served by Millicent and Dorothy. Earlier in the week Juliene and Pam attended the annual meeting of District III of the Iowa Federated Garden Clubs. It was hosted by the Northwood Green Thumb Garden Club. The next meeting will be Saturday, May 14. The club will have their annual plant sale from 9 – 11 a.m. There will be perennials, annuals, houseplants and herbs as well as knowledgeable gardeners to answer your questions.

PIONEER The Pioneer Enterprise Thursday, May 12, 2016 3 Local students graduate from NIACC Where is the horn that was blowing? How did it come to this? Barring a plot twist so contrived that Shonda Rhimes wouldn’t put it in “Scandal,” Donald Trump will be the Republican candidate for President of the United States of America. Seventeen candidates ranging from center-right establishment men to extreme right zealots and the last man standing is a reality TV star shouting his way to a nomination. How does this happen? The GOP has been at war with itself for years now, but that was a battle between the establishment leadership and the far right Tea Party. Trump is neither. The establishment hates him because he’s taking a wrecking ball to their platform and the Tea Party hates him because he’s too socially liberal, and yet here we are. Let’s just take a step back and recap what has happened here. Ted Cruz, a man who former Speaker of the House John Boehner recently called “Lucifer in the flesh,” somehow became the last great hope for the GOP to stop the Trump campaign. He’s largely responsible for the ideological civil war within the party and in the end the party united behind him in an open attempt to subvert the will of the primary voters and block Trump’s nomination. I have to be honest, I was hoping the Cruz/Fiorina campaign would make it through July, if only to see what new cringe worthy horrors would occur as Cruz and his running mate continued their attempts to mimic human behavior. Fiorina may now have the record for shortest VP campaign in history, but the song she sang during her announcement rally will live on in my nightmares forever. Of course there was an actual establishment Republican still running, but for the last two months John Kasich has been in fourth place in a three-man race. His delegate count trailing behind Marco Rubio, who dropped out in March. The tragic irony is that, according to every recent general election match-up poll, Kasich is the only Republican candidate that can defeat Hillary Clinton in the general election. The one person most likely to give Republicans the outcome they want is the one they have soundly and definitively rejected at every step of the primary. Instead, they picked Trump. So now Republicans, particularly those that have an election of their own to worry about, have a choice to make. Option One: Acknowledge Donald Trump as the new face of conservatism and stand behind him to see if his improbable rise takes him all the way to the White House. If he makes it, they’ll have taken the White House at the cost of their identity, policies, platform, and conscience. If he crashes and burns, he’ll likely bring the whole party down with him, flipping the Senate and possibly some states as he falls. Option Two: Cut and run. The polls have been very kind to Trump in the primary. Less so in the general. Republicans that admit the odds aren’t in their favor may avoid go- AGE OF THE GEEK Travis Fischer ing all in to make sure there’s still a party around if Trump loses. Some are even calling for a third party candidate to carry the Republican platform. Of course, merely withholding support for Trump, to say nothing of splitting the ticket, might be seen as effectively giving the White House to the Democrats. There is no good ending for establishment Republicans here. Several of them have already, begrudgingly, fallen in line behind Trump to various degrees of enthusiasm. Bobby Jindal, who once called Trump a “non-serious, unstable, substance free candidate” and an “ego-maniacal madman who has no principals,” has now offered his endorsement. Mike Huckabee dislikes Trump’s position on abortion rights, gay marriage, and Israel, but he’s “all in” with Trump too. It seems every recent endorsement of Trump seems to come with a list of reasons why the endorser doesn’t like him. On the other hand, it’s doubtful you’ll see any Trump stickers on the back of Bush family vehicles. Jeb Bush has practically been in hiding after his $116 million campaign netted him four delegates, one percent of the popular vote, and the saddest call for applause ever made, but just a couple week’s ago he was calling for a contested convention to keep Trump from the nomination. Now that Trump has dashed yet another of Jeb’s hopes, he’ll be the first Republican candidate to go into the general election without the endorsement of either former President Bush. You probably won’t hear many positive things out of Lindsey Graham either. Graham sees Trump as the end of his party, saying “Women and Hispanics hate his guts, and for good reason” and that “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it.” Most importantly, there’s Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. Somewhere, in the darkest corner of Washington, John Boehner is studying dark magic and legal texts, trying to figure out how to make Paul Ryan the nominee. In the meantime though, the highest ranking Republican in office is trying very hard to keep his party together and tame Trump before divides in the party get worse. Ryan is withholding his endorsement until he’s convinced Trump will behave and play along with the party platform. Trump was quick to declare that he wasn’t ready to support the GOP platform and that the party was going to have to play along with him. This will not end well. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and thinks the return of the Whig Party is looking more likely by the day.

The project is a partnership between this newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association. Terri McCauley Terri McCauley, a young mother of two, was last seen alive getting into a white Chevy Nova in a Sioux City parking lot in the early morning hours of Sept. 26, 1983. Before climbing into the car, McCauley told the two friends she was with, that she was going on a date. The white male driving the Nova headed north on Omaha Street and then west onto W. 8th Street. She would not be seen again until her body was found on Oct.6. A resident walking his dog stumbled across McCauley’s partially decomposed body in the wooded vicinity of 33rd and Pavonia Street. She lay along an unkempt dirt road, mostly naked. She had been killed point-blank by a 20-gauge shotgun blast to the face. Her shirt and shoes were found near her body. Investigators collected evidence for DNA analysis, but due to very hot temperatures and decomposition to the body, they were not able to find much usable evidence. McCauley’s friends were interviewed and cleared and the case seemed to hit a dead end until three months later. While investigating a case where a man had fired a shotgun into a former girlfriend’s house, police were able to connect a white Chevy Nova, a 20-gauge shotgun and other evidence, to establish a suspect in McCauley’s case. Though circumstantial evidence seemed to point to the Nova’s driver, an exhaustive search of the vehicle produced no proof she’d ever been in it. Waiting to obtain more solid evidence that would ensure a conviction, prosecutors held out on charging the suspect. Since the crime, new evidence has come to light that has caused investigators to look at other suspects as well. They continue to follow leads. TERRI MCCAULEY | Age: 18 | Died: September 26, 1983 Location: Sioux City Find out more about this and other unsolved homicides at www.IowaColdCases.org.

Mark Lowe was present on behalf of the Rockwell Fire Department for approval to hold the Dueling Piano fund raising event again this year. Lowe stated the department has the event set for June 11th; they would again like to close off Fourth Street from the Alley by the Fire barn going north to Maple Street. They will be playing from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Worley moved to allow for said portion Fourth Street North to be closed off from 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 11th until 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, to allow for cleanup time. Motion seconded by Wentz, carried unanimously. Brown moved to waive the noise ordinance on Saturday, June 11th until midnight for the dueling pianos event. Motion seconded by Koob, carried unanimously. Mike Brown told the Council of concerns of traffic speed on Main Street East and asked for signs to remind drivers the speed limit. With discussion, Council felt signs on Main Street would remind drivers, and also discussed signs on Elm Street and Madison Street by the pool and camp ground entrance. Mayor Bills presented a Tax Abatement application for new construction at 511 East Elm Street, by Josh and Amanda Dannen, stating they have applied for the five year abatement. Brown moved to approve said abatement for new construction at 511 East Elm Street by Resolution 2016-3 to be forwarded to the County Assessor Office. Motion seconded by Wentz, carried unanimously. Mayor Bills presented a liquor license renewal for the Rockwell Legion Club. Koob moved to approve the license renewal. Motion seconded by Johnson, carried unanimously. Mayor Bills noted that they need to meet with Chief Whitney for some follow up on the city policy, and asked to table the policy as listed on the agenda. Wentz had information for a police cell phone from Rockwell Coop Telephone Association. The current mobile data plan could be replaced by a phone with the hot spot being used for wireless connection, making the cost about the same. Wentz noted a phone would be $150 and the monthly service would be $80. Worley moved to make this purchase and change the plan. Motion seconded by Wentz, carried unanimously. Mayor Bills asked about updating the police department computer, noting there will be funding available through the County with Emergency Management. Johnson told the Council that he and Worley, the equipment committee, went through the city equipment with Siefken and Hensley. Johnson noted Hensley is starting a list of equipment and notes for service and repairs on everything. Hensley asked about DOT inspections for the trucks. Worley noted Hensley has a good list started, they felt the mower would be the next piece of equipment to look at trading, and could sell the old cub with the snow blower at the Lions auction. Worley also asked about getting rid of the military equipment. Koob felt the police car should be on this list also, and should be traded every six years. Koob asked if we have heard from the County on the dog agreement. Mayor Bills noted the letter was just sent to the County. Brown asked how the pool repairs were going. Hensley noted that they are finished and it went well. Brown asked about grading the rock on 5th Street. Hensley would have Siefken contact the County. From the sidewalk discussion at the previous meeting, Johnson reported that a cost for sidewalk removal and replacement would be $10 a square foot, if it is ready to pour concrete the cost would be $4 a square foot. Mayor Bills also noted that we need to look at trees. Koob noted the Ash trees and the Emerald Ash Borer. Chief Whitney shared photos and list for more nuisance areas in town. With review, Council asked to have letters sent to these property owners also. Along with the areas Mayor Bills noted city properties that need cleaned up. Mayor Bills noted the jail cell that is setting out back and options to have it refurbished and placed elsewhere. Chief Whitney noted he is seeing progress on the previous letters sent. Mayor Bills also noted an alley that needs to be taken care of at the end of Third Street North. With no further business, Wentz moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Koob, carried unanimously.
