The Rockwell City Council met
on Wednesday, April 1 for their regular meeting at City Hall.
Sue Adams of the Rockwell Nursing Home was present at the meeting
to discuss the upcoming conclusion
of their subsidy agreement with Drs.
Josh and Charity Baker’s West Fork
Family Medicine.
For the last six years, the City of
Rockwell, the nursing home and the
Lion’s Club has helped subsidize the
expense of operating the clinic. The
Lion’s Club has paid for the clinic’s
insurance, the nursing home has
taken care of building and grounds
maintenance, and the city has paid

fisherman near the outlet on the east
shoreline have had some success
on these warm days. An occasional
walleye has been taken near the jetty

Ragan helps pass new bullying bill
On March 31 Sen. Amanda Ragan
( D-Mason City) helped the Iowa
Senate approve bipartisan legislation that hopes to reduce the bullying of Iowa students both in and out
of schools. Senate File 345 was approved by a vote of 43-7.
“Bullying can devastate children,
families, and communities, and the
effects can last into adulthood,”
Ragan said in a news release. “Senate File 345 breaks new ground by
addressing bullying that uses electronic communications to bully oth-
for the building’s utilities. Mercy
Hospital enjoyed the same arrangement when they occupied the clinic.
Now that the Bakers have established themselves in Rockwell, that
arrangement is coming to an end.
“As of November 1, they become
responsible for everything,” said Adams. “Josh and Charity have already
started taking responsibility for some
of the bills. They are ready to take
over.”
The city council had no objections to allowing the arrangement
to come to an end and passed a motion giving their approval. Council
member Mike Flatness abstained

The Thornton City Council discussed strategies for moving the
city’s empty lots during their regular
meeting on Monday, April 6.
Reporting from a meeting with
the Promoting Thornton group, Mayor Brian Crowell asked the council
about possible ways to make the
city’s available property more inviting for potential buyers. The city still
has available lots at the old athletic
grounds and elsewhere in town.
“It would be very beneficial to us
if somebody would build there and
get it on the tax roll,” said Crowell.
Dropping the current asking price
of the lots was suggested, along with
offering a tax abatement or deferring
the cost of installing infrastructure.
City Clerk Michelle Duff noted
that she has received inquiries about
the properties from potentially interested parties, but the potential buyers were not quite ready to build. The
council noted that prices on the lots
are negotiable to serious interested
parties.
“If we can be very aggressive on
pricing the lots, I think we should go
there,” said council member Barry
Groh.

Singer and keyboardist Bruce
Hornsby, known for the spontaneity
and creativity of his live performances, became a household name after
receiving a Best New Artist Grammy
in 1987 with Bruce Hornsby and the
Range. His commercial stock soared
early when The Way It Is became the
most-played song on American radio
in 1987 winning ASCAP’s Song of
the Year award.
That song, along with subsequent
hits Mandolin Rain and Every Little
Kiss, established Hornsby in the music industry. Despite his early mainstream successes, Hornsby has pursued a more personal, idiosyncratic
musical path focusing on projects
that sparked his creative interest and
musical progress. He has performed
more than 100 concerts with the
Grateful Dead as a guest keyboardist.
A decade after Hornsby established his global name as the creator
of pop hits that defined “the sound
of grace on the radio,” as a Rolling Stone reviewer once wrote, the
Virginia-born pianist, composer,
and singer-songwriter found himself
compelled by two ostensibly separate areas of music.
“One passion of mine was oldtime American roots forms -– hymns,
blues, country, bluegrass, old folk,
shaped-note religious songs, on and
on,” Hornsby says. That tracked
with the artist, who from the beginning of his career played accordion
and fronted a band featuring fiddles,
banjos and dulcimers.
The other area, modern classical
music, did not. Yet the cranky dissonance and expressive chromatics
of 12th Century 12-tone inventors
like the Austrian composers Arnold
Schoenberg and Anton Webern (as
well as the work of an American
modernist like Elliott Carter or a
Hungarian like György Ligeti or a
French mystic like Olivier Messiaen), ultimately fed Hornsby’s sense
of raw challenge.
Bruce Hornsby Solo Concerts, an
emotional musical merger of American history and European daring, is
a two-disc demonstration of all this
and more in which the various elements of Hornsby’s songwriting and
instrumental styles align in highly
personal ways. The album’s 21 tracks
are culled from Hornsby solo concerts performed in the U.S. during
2012 and 2013. Together, they fuse
a wide variety of what Hornsby considers different “information” from
musical languages often thought to
be opposed: U.S. roots music, folkpop, film composing, and modern
classical. Much of the work on the
album involves what Hornsby calls
an “unholy alliance” of comforting

BULLYING BILL from front page
THORNTON from front page
(IYS) State Report surveyed 77,139 students representing 85 percent of public schools. The survey is conducted with students in grades 6, 8, and 11 attending Iowa public and private schools. Thirty-nine percent of all respondents
reported they were bullied at school at least once in the last 30 days by other
students calling them names, making fun of them, or teasing in a hurtful way.
“Every Iowa child has the unquestionable right to be safe and secure at
their school and in their community,” said Ragan. “Today, Democrats and
Republicans in the Senate took action to continue their leadership in the fight
against bullying in Iowa schools.”
Last year, the Iowa Senate approved a comprehensive anti-bullying bill,
but the Iowa House failed to debate the bill. This year, concerned citizens
from across Iowa worked with legislators to create a compromise which it is
hoped the Iowa House will approve and Gov. Branstad will sign.
noted that NIACOG is offering up to $10,000 in matching funds for projects
to improve rental properties. Rental property owners looking to make renovations, particularly exterior improvements, on their property can pick up a
form at city hall to apply for the funds.
On the subject of community improvement, council member Groh requested permission on behalf of Mission Thornton to make renovations to
the city’s main street basketball court. Mission Thornton has applied for a
grant to repave the court and is looking for other ways to make improvements.
Finally, it was noted that there will be a tornado siren test on Monday,
April 20.

(93/100) third place was The Best Guessers team (92/100). A silent auction
was also held with 81 great items sold.
This year’s event took in a record $20,000 that will be used to help single
moms and their families who are at risk of homelessness in Franklin County.
The program works by pairing each mom with Bridge of Hope’s trained social worker who helps the mom set goals, get job training and work, develop a
budget and learn the skills needed to provide a more stable life for her family.
Bridge of Hope also also pairs the participant with a group of church-based
mentors who can act as her support group, encouraging the family, providing
a role model and lending a hand as needed. The majority of the Game Show
income goes to pay the participating familys’ rents on a decreasing basis as
the moms receive job training and find work.

The
for foodservice managers, it educates
participants on food hazards and appropriate food handling practices.
Iowa regulations require the person
in charge of a foodservice to have
demonstrated knowledge of food
safety principles; ServSafe certification is one way to demonstrate this
knowledge. Certificates are valid for
five years. The 8-hour course concludes with a certification exam.
The rules further protect Iowa
consumers by requiring food establishments to have a certified food
protection manager to oversee the
safe handling, preparation, and service of food items in most food establishments. Research in Iowa and
across the country indicates that food
establishments with a certified food
protection manager are less likely
to have violations that could lead to
foodborne illness.
Iowa State University Extension
and Outreach offers ServSafe training to meet the new requirement.
The ServSafe program provides food
safety training, exams, and educational materials. Courses are offered by Nancy Clark, Nutrition and
Health Program Specialist. A class
will be held Thursday, April 16 in
Mason City at the Cerro Gordo Extension Office, 2023 S. Federal Ave.

Disappointment looms
after Medicaid bill fails
The warmer temperatures, sporadic rain showers and green grass
beginning to peek through Iowa’s
rich soil are all refreshing reminders
that spring certainly has sprung in
Iowa.
This week wrapped up the second legislative funnel, which means
in order for a policy bill to remain
eligible for consideration this year, it
is required to have passed either the
House or Senate and a committee of
the other chamber.
One piece of legislation I am
disappointed the Senate chose not
to consider was HF 247. This bill
passed with bipartisan support in the
House and would require an asset
verification process for recipients of
Medicaid. The purpose of the proposal is to prevent fraud, misrepresentation and the inappropriate use of
Iowa’s Medicaid program.
Iowans are a very caring, giving
and sharing group of people. When
help is needed, we answer the call.
Iowans also demand accountability and transparency in their government. HF 247 encompasses these
Iowa values.
Eliminating fraud in Medicaid not
only protects the taxpayer’s investment, but it also means more of the
money that is intended to help those
in need is actually received by those
individuals. I’m perplexed as to why
there isn’t more interest in accomplishing this initiative.
Every year we hear that we need
more money for programs like Medicaid, and while that might be appropriate, we should constantly be
vigilant that the programs aren’t being abused. The first step before increasing funding should always be to
ensure that taxpayer dollars currently
appropriated are being spent appropriately.
There should be nothing more
precious to us, as your elected officials, than the dollars you send us.
When we have a clear opportunity to
reduce the amount of fraud and inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars,
we have a duty to do that. It’s easy to
spend the money, but the hard part is
ensuring your hard-earned tax dollars
are being spent wisely. It is our responsibility to do the hard work and
take these necessary steps.
HF 247 would ensure taxpayer
dollars are being used in the most
efficient manner possible to help Iowans truly in need. It is unfortunate
the Iowa Senate chose not to keep
this proposal alive.
If you have any questions or
feedback about the issues before us,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
I can always be reached at linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or (515) 2814618.
Veterans and school
issues move forward
Our veterans deserve to know all
the benefits and programs they qualify for. That’s why the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee voted this
week to help veterans access information on ways to apply for benefits.
House File 414 won unanimous
approval in the Iowa House on March
17. The bill requires that private individuals or businesses offering to help
veterans get their benefits must give
all prospective clients a written statement disclosing that veterans may
apply for these same services at no
charge through a local service organization or county offices. Before entering into an agreement or contract,
the veteran must sign the disclosure
statement.
The Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs will develop a consumer
friendly written disclosure for use by
private providers of benefits services
for veterans. It will include a statement that veterans benefits services
are offered at no cost by federally
chartered veteran service organizations and by county commission of
veteran affairs offices, and will have
contact information on how to access
those free services.
A person who violates these requirements faces a maximum civil
penalty of $1,000 for each violation.
Any civil penalties recovered will be
deposited in the Iowa Veterans Trust
Fund.
For more information on this or
other programs for veterans, contact
the Iowa Department of Veterans
Affairs at (515) 252-4698 or go to
www.va.iowa.gov.
In education news, Gov. Terry
Branstad’s administration told superintendents last December that they
would no longer get waivers to start
school early, meaning schools would
have to start fall classes during the
week of Sept. 1.
Last fall, 67 Iowa school districts
started fall semester classes during
the second week of August.
Senate File 227 is a compromise
that sets the school start date on or
after Aug. 23. It was approved this
week by both the House and the Senate.
This legislative compromise ends
a major distraction, which has taken
attention away from this session’s
most important, most pressing education issue: renewing Iowa’s bipartisan commitment to responsibly
investing in our local students and
schools.
School funding affects 100 percent of Iowa schoolchildren, parents
and teachers, as well as employers
and community leaders. We must
provide the funding our schools need
to boost student achievement and
keep the best teachers in our classrooms.

understand critical thinking skills and
give students another career option
of being a “job creator” instead of a
“job taker.” The students will receive
gas cards to pay for the week’s travel
from their homes. Additionally the
four top business ideas will receive
$500 in “seed money” for the businesses they develop during the week.
With generous financial support
from the John K. and Luise V. Hanson
Foundation this continues to be a free
event for the students. YEA is now
entering its 18th year of providing a
unique entrepreneurial education to
25-30 individuals. The academy has
been re-designed to help students
launch their own businesses with a
chance to earn seed money using a
new curriculum called Lean Canvas.
By sharing marketing materials and application forms with high
school counselors, the NIACC Pappajohn Center extended invitations to
all North Iowa high school students.
Applicants are asked to complete an
application packet including a personal and parent recommendation

Theme: “I Tell You the Truth”
Coffee Hour 7:45 PM
I’m starting to think I should just
rename this column, “This Week In
The Perpetually Outraged.”
Is there something in the water?
Just in the last few months it seems
like you can’t go a week without another ridiculous controversy about
some hyper-sensitive group getting
offended about nothing.
In this week’s highest profile
case, and I say that because there
were at least two other equally dumb
outrages at the same time, we have
Trevor Noah, the heir to Jon Stewart’s throne at “The Daily Show.”
By all accounts, Noah’s selection as the next host of “The Daily
Show” should have been a slam dunk
for the progressive crowd. After all,
every time a late night talk show seat
gets filled by another white guy there
are endless cries about the need for
more minorities on television. Trevor
Noah should make them weep with
joy.
Noah is a bi-racial comedian from
South Africa. He grew up half-white
in South Africa and is now half-black
in America. He’s a two-for-one for
minority representation.
Granted, he’s not a woman, but
try as they might, the “progressive”
Internet couldn’t pressure Jessica
Williams into taking a job she didn’t
want and knew she wasn’t qualified
for. And they did try, but that’s a
whole other debacle.
Still, Noah did get a hero’s welcome… for about 12 hours. That
was how long it took the perpetually
offended crowd to sift through six
years of Twitter posts and decide that
Noah was a sexist, fat-shaming, antiSemite. (Which I’m sure came as a
shock to his half-Jewish mother.)
They came to this conclusion after
finding about a dozen or so tweets,
out of 8,844, that were mildly low
brow. Because when you’re looking
for an accurate assessment of somebody’s feeling’s towards Israel, a
140-character joke from years ago is
definitely where you should start.
I’ve read the offending tweets
myself. Some of them were funny,
some of them missed the mark, none
of them gave me the impression that
Noah was anything other than a comedian tuning his craft.
And yet, based on less than 0.2%
of his Twitter history, Trevor Noah’s
comedy was deemed “problematic,”
a word I’ve recently come to define
as “something not really a problem,
but treated like one anyway.”
Thankfully, Noah has stood up to
the torch and pitchfork mob with the
one thing they cannot abide. Reason.
“To reduce my views to a handful of
jokes that didn’t land is not a true reflection of my character, nor my evolution as a comedian,” he tweeted.
Because apparently people needed to
be reminded of that basic truth.
Also thankfully, it seems people
are finally starting to reject this kind
of behavior from the “progressive”
crowd.
Is it just me, or has this nonsense
been getting progressively worse
lately? Pun only partially intended.
I’m seriously asking. Is this a
recent phenomenon, or did some
switch flip in my head when I turned
thirty that made me more aware of
the absurdity of the far left?
And yeah, I’m going there. This
is all on the political left. Crazy progressives constantly on the search for
some new “problematic” issue to get
upset about.
I’m still a Democrat. I still think
Obamacare didn’t go far enough. I
still generally approve of the job the
President has done in office. And it
is almost a certainty that I will vote
Democrat across the board in the next
election.
I’m pro-gay rights, pro-choice,
pro-gun control, pro-immigration,
so on and so forth. I am, without a
doubt, a card carrying liberal.
There is a Winston Churchill
quote that has always kind of worried
me. “Any man who is under 30, and
is not a liberal, has no heart. Any man
who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.”
I’ve always wondered if this was
actually the case, but I think there is
something else going on here.
For years I’ve wondered what the
leftist version of the Tea Party would
look like. It seems I’ve finally found
it. It’s political correctness taken to
authoritarian levels. If they don’t like
it, it must change.
Recently I’ve discovered a political science term known as “Horseshoe Theory.” It states that rather than
political ideologies being on opposite
ends of a straight line, they instead
form a shape similar to a horseshoe,
until the extreme left and the extreme
right end up closer to each other than
they do the middle.
This theory makes a lot of sense
to me now. Instead of far right extremists demanding a bible and a
gun in every classroom, we have far
left extremists demanding that every
comic book cover, video game, and
lame twitter joke be sanitized to be
un-offensive to anybody that might
ever come across it.
I thought we’d managed to placate
this crowd back in the 90s, but, like
everything else from the 90s, I guess
it’s making a comeback.

Mid-America Publishing and knows
that if you go too far to left, it’s eventually the same as going too far to the
right.

“I think I’ve found a middle
ground,” Hornsby says. “I think it’s
very easy to be straight down the
middle, to write and play the very
straight, simple music. I think it’s
also easy to be completely out there,
very obtuse and obscure, saying oh,
they don’t understand. For me, the

“There’s often a bias in the rock or

This is really emotional. It’s what I
call the pursuit of the unattainable.”

Control Your Emotions in Volatile Markets
For the past few years, the stock market has
moved up fairly steadily, with no major “corrections.” But thus far in 2015, we’ve already seen
periods of volatility — enough, in fact, to make
some investors jittery. Nervous investors may be
more prone to make decisions based on shortterm market movements — so how can you stay
calm?
First of all, when evaluating your investment
decisions, stay focused on those factors that have
historically driven stock prices. The U.S. economy is growing at a reasonably good pace, and
corporate earnings remain fairly strong. Plus,
stocks may not be as undervalued as they were
a few years ago — as measured by the price-toearnings ratio (P/E) — but they still aren’t overly
expensive, either. Things can change, of course,
but when market volatility seems to be primarily
caused by short-term events, such as plunging oil
prices, it’s important to look beyond the headlines to these less glamorous, but probably more
important, fundamentals of good investing. By
doing so, you can help avoid making fear-driven
investment choices.
What else can you do to help ensure that you
don’t let feelings of anxiety influence your investment moves? For one thing, evaluate your
investment mix. If you own too many stocks and
stock-based vehicles, you could take a big hit if
stock prices fall sharply during periods of volatility. Historically, however, bond prices have
typically increased when stock prices fell — al-
though, of course, there are no guarantees. So, if
your portfolio consists of stocks and bonds, you
are better positioned to weather the harshest effects of market turbulence.
To further prepare yourself for downturns,
you may also want to diversify your fixed-income holdings to include investments such as
U.S. Treasury bills, certificates of deposit (CDs)
and municipal bonds. The percentages of each
type of investment within your portfolio should
be based on your goals, risk tolerance and time
horizon.
Finally, you can help yourself maintain an
even-keeled approach to investing by always
looking for quality. Typically,
higher quality investments fare
better during market declines
and recover more quickly when
the markets rebound. How can
you judge whether a particular
investment is of good “quality“?
A long-term track record is useful
to study. It’s certainly true that, as
you have no doubt heard, “past
performance is no guarantee of
future results,” but it’s nonetheless valuable to know how a particular stock, for example, has
performed in various economic
environments. If it seems to have
done well relative to others in its
industry and over long periods of

time, that may give you a good idea of its quality.
It’s never easy to take all the emotions out of
investing, especially during periods of market
volatility. After all, you count on your investments to help provide you with the type of future you’ve envisioned. But by focusing on the
fundamentals, putting together an appropriate
investment mix and constantly looking for quality, you can help “de-stress” yourself — and, as
the American poet, novelist and historian J.G.
Holland once said, “Calmness is the cradle of
power.”

stated the Nursing Home board has talked about

dissolving the agreement and wants to know
that the other entities involved are in agreement.
Wentz asked if the Bakers are aware of this. Adams stated that they are and are ready to take
ownership. Bills asked about the Nursing Home

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING &
ADVERTISEMENTS FOR BIDS FOR THE
PROPOSED WEST FORK
COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
INDOOR FITNESS CENTER
Notice is hereby given that the West Fork Community School Board will meet in the West Fork
Community School District board room located
at 210 2nd Street S., Rockwell, Iowa on April
20, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. at which time and place
a hearing will be held on the proposed DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS, form of CONTRACT
for the INDOOR FITNESS CENTER. Any interested party may appear to be heard. At the
said time and place, the West Fork Community School Board will also receive and consider
BIDS for said construction.
The proposed project consists of a new indoor
fitness center with new parking lots located at
435 North 5th Street, Sheffield, Iowa. The work
to be done is as follows:
Work consists of a new pre-engineered steel
building complete with spaces for basketball
& volley ball courts, walking track, wrestling
practice room, locker rooms, public restrooms,
office spaces, mezzanine storage, concrete
footings/foundations/slabs, geo-thermal heating and cooling system, new electrical service,
new parking surfacing and site work. Athletic
flooring, basketball hoops, volleyball standards,
scoreboards, dividing curtains, controllers and
wall padding will be bid under separate contract.
But, installation of this equipment will be coordinated with the general contractor and their
sub-contractors.
Lump sum bids will be received for the work.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting for general contractors will be held at the High School Superintendent’s office, 435 North 5th Street, Sheffield, Iowa, on April 8th, 2015 at 1:00 pm. Any
General Contractor wishing to submit a bid on
this project will need to have a designated representative at the pre-bid meeting. The pre-bid
meeting is open to all suppliers and subcontractors but attendance is not mandatory for those
contractors. A tour of the project site and existing weight room building will be given after the
pre-bid meeting. Access to the existing weight
room building may be obtained during school
hours by requesting a key at the district superintendent’s office.
The West Fork Community School Board will
receive bids before April 14th, 2015 at 1:05 pm.
Bids received after this time will not be accepted. Bids will be opened and publicly read aloud
immediately after specified closing time.
All bids must be filed at the West Fork Community School District Central Office, located at
435 N 5th Street, Sheffield, Iowa, on or before
the time herein set.
All paper confirmations of the bids shall be on
the form provided in the specifications. Each bid
shall be accompanied by a bid bond, certified
check, cashier’s check or credit union certified
share draft, in a separate sealed envelope in an
amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total
amount of the bid. If bid bond is submitted, it
must be on an approved AIA bid bond form. The
certified check or cashier’s check shall be drawn
on a bank in Iowa or a bank chartered under
the laws of the United States of America; certified share draft shall be drawn on a credit union
chartered under the laws of the United States.
Bid security should be made payable to the
West Fork Community School District as security that if awarded a contract the bidder will enter
into a contract at the prices bid and furnish the
required Contractor’s Bonds and Certificate of
Insurance. The certified check, cashier’s check,
or certified share draft may be cashed, or the
Bid Bond forfeited, and the proceeds retained
as liquidated damages if the Bidder fails to execute a contract and file acceptable Certificate of
Insurance within ten (10) days after the acceptance of the proposal by the West Fork Community School District. No bidder may withdraw a
proposal within forty-five (45) days after the date
set for opening bids.
Payment to the Contractor will be made in
monthly estimates and one final payment.
Monthly estimates will be equivalent to ninety-five percent (95%) of the contract value of the
work completed during the preceding calendar
month. Such payments will in no way be construed as an act of acceptance for any of the
work partially or totally completed.
Final payment to Contractor will be made no
earlier than forty-five (45) days from and after
final acceptance of work by the West Fork Community School District, subject to the contract
conditions and in accordance with the provisions of Iowa Code chapters 26 and 573.
Payment of the cost of said project will be
made in cash used for said purposes.
The work under the contract shall commence
on or before the date specified in the written
‘Notice of Proceed’ and shall be fully completed and ready for acceptance no later than the
date specified by the Contractor on the proposal
form.

Material Payment Bond on an approved AIA
form in an amount equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the contract price. The bonds are to
be issued by responsible surety, approved by

Smart Food
Choices to

During the laid-back summer months, it can be tempting to
let things slide. Though many aspects of your routine may
shift into a lower gear, you can still find simple ways to make
sure your kids are making healthy food choices to fuel their
way through summer.
Summer, when there are fewer demands to complete homework and attend school functions, is the perfect time to get
kids more involved in the kitchen. Even though school is out,
the learning doesn’t have to stop. Here are some tips to help
your kids learn smart nutrition and where food comes from:
t ćJT TFBTPO DFMFCSBUF XIZ EBJSZ JT B XIPMFTPNF BEEJtion to snacks, meal choices and even drinks. Not only do
dairy foods taste great, but they are good for your health and
your budget. Options like milk, cheese and yogurt are full
of vitamins and minerals, help build strong bones and muscles, control blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight, and
reduce the risk of heart disease. Plus, at about 25 cents per

Quodlibet
Celebrates 40 Years
The 40th annual Quodlibet variety show presented by North Iowa Area
Community College (NIACC) will take place on Thursday, April 16 and Friday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 19 at 2:00 p.m. Performances
will be held in the North Iowa Community Auditorium on the NIACC campus.
Featuring members of the NIACC Concert Choir and NIACC Singers,
Quodlibet will celebrate 40 years with top 40 hits from 1976 to the present.
“The show kicks off with a big medley of #1 hits from the first year of Quod,”
said Director Jayson Ryner.
Big musical hits from 1976 include “Silly Love Songs” by Paul McCartney and Wings; “Saturday Night” by the Bay City Rollers; Barry Manilow’s
hit, “I Write the Songs”; “Take the Money and Run” by the Steve Miller
Band; and other hits including “Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart,” and “50 Ways
to Leave Your Lover.”
“The audience will be thrilled to hear great hits from all of the decades.
We feature medleys from the ‘80s by Journey and INXS along with rock hits
such as “Jessie’s Girl” and “I Love Rock-N-Roll,” said Ryner.
The show also includes music from Fleetwood Mac, Rascal Flatts, Ray
Charles, and more modern songs including Ingrid Michaelson’s “The Way I
Am;” Colbie Caillat’s “Try”; “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz; and a medley
from the band Fall Out Boy.
Ryner added, “All generations are sure to find a song they recognize and
appreciate.”
Aredale woman gets
prison sentence for perjury
An Aredale woman who committed perjury while testifying in court was
sentenced on March 31 to six months in federal prison.
Ashley Tufte, 29, received the prison sentence after entering a January
guilty plea to one count of perjury. Judge Linda Reade also fined Tufte $1,000
and imposed a special assessment of $100. Tufte will be placed on three years
of supervised release after she serves her sentence.
Tufte was released on bond and is to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons at
a future date. There is no parole in the federal system.
In a plea agreement, Tufte admitted she lied in May 2012 while testifying before a federal grand jury regarding an investigation into an interstate
marijuana ring. Prosecutors say Tufte made false statements about her former
boyfriend Nels Nolan Nelson’s involvement in the drug ring.
Nelson was sentenced to more than three years in prison last April for drug
conspiracy charges.

Warhawks sweep
high jump at home
By Kristi Nixon
NASHUA – Peyton Twedt was only taking aim at qualifying for the
Drake Relays in the high jump.
By the time he was done at West Fork’s home meet, held at NashuaPlainfield, the Warhawk senior not only locked in Drake, but made a stab
at the school’s record of 6 feet, 7 inches.
His efforts just fell shy as he easily won the event in clearing 6-6 to tie
the school mark set by Seth Tuttle originally set in 2011 at the West Fork
Early Bird on Tuesday, March 31.
And, when fellow senior Courtney Larson won the girls’ portion of
the event with a leap of 5-0, the Warhawks had completed the high jump
sweep at the meet which didn’t include team scoring.
That wasn’t all for West Fork, gaining another win by Twedt in the
3,200 at 10 minutes, 23.03 seconds as the Warhawks went 1-2 with Jacob
Hansen finishing .31 seconds back.
Senior Drew Engebretson completed the middle-distance sweep, winning both the 400 (:53.08) and 800 (2:03.94) and Hansen claimed the
1,600 to himself (4:53.88).
Monty Dye, another senior honored at the meet, won the shot put with
an effort of 41-4.25.
Among girls’ winners besides Larson in the high jump, freshman distance runner Talia Rowe set a new personal record (PR) in the 3,000 to win
the event in 11:53.78 and the distance medley team of Madison Shreckengost, Hailey Clausen, Sydney Shreckengost and Maddison Shupe set a
new PR to place itself sixth in the school’s top-10 list with the win.
The Warhawks traveled to Osage on Monday, April 6 and the girls’
team heads to Hampton on Friday for the Lady Bulldog Classic.

Boys Results (Winner, West Fork finishes)
Jason Meier and Hailey McCoy-Munger competed at Regional History Day in
Forest City on February 27th. The competition included students from area
schools who completed a research project on the theme of Leadership and
Legacy. Jason and Hailey chose to research Julius Caesar and his conquest of
the Gaul area of what later became France. General Patton used Caesar’s
strategies in World War 2 so Caesar’s legacy was far-reaching. Students used
a chariot with facts on Julius Caesar as their display. Jason and Hailey qualified to present their display at the State History Day competition on May 4
in Des Moines. (Submited Photo)
