BY NICK PEDLEY
Farming typically isn’t a glamorous career. Long hours spent
tending fields and raising livestock keep farmers out of the
spotlight, only to be seen during
harvest season or other busy
months.
However, every now and then
their dedication pays off in big
ways.
Such was the case recently
for Mike and Doug Pralle. The
Hampton brothers were featured
in Beck’s Hybrids’ “Why I Farm”
campaign, which honors farmers
by sharing their personal stories

The “Why I Farm”
documentary featuring the
Pralle brothers, along with
interviews from their family and
friends, can be viewed online at

through the eyes of family members and friends.
“My first question was why
us? I didn’t really get it,” said
Doug. “We’re not different from
anyone else in the county that
farms, but they just happened to
pick us.”
A production crew spent three
days this spring interviewing
the brothers’ family, friends and
other loved ones. Their emotional testimony told the story of how
Mike and Doug became farmers
through the legacy of their late
father, Dwight, and guidance
from their grandfather, Vernon.
According to Doug, the brothers were introduced to agriculture at a young age and “always
loved farming growing up.”

Community Club holds Halloween party
The Sheffield Community Club held a Halloween party Saturday, Oct. 31, for children in the area
to show off their costumes and enjoy treats from the
club. Approximately 80 children enjoyed hot dogs
and a drink, and received a bag for their candy to
take trick or treating later. The children were divided
into three age groups and had their pictures taken.

Homelessness may look different in north
Iowa than it does in big cities, but that hasn’t
stopped one Sheffield woman from fighting it
by offering a helping hand to those in need.
Jeannie Kingery, executive director for the
Northern Lights Alliance for
the Homeless, is organizing
“An Evening of Hope and
Promise” for Nov. 7 in Mason
City to raise awareness and
funds for the organization.
“The people that are homeless here in north Iowa are not
like the people you see in the
cities,” Kingery said. “They’re
Kingery
not out on the corners [or] under bridges for the most part.”
People who are homeless in north Iowa stay
in abandoned houses without electricity or
running water, storage units, or with family
or friends, she said, hiding the problem from
most Iowans, especially those in small towns.

West Fork to
honor veterans
with hall display
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
Veterans who graduated from any school
that makes up what is now West Fork will be
honored starting next week on a new display
in the high school gym entrance.
Ashley McKee’s homeroom class and high
school student councilmembers are gathering
photos and information for the tribute, which
came around the same time that Sheffield resident Ned Bohach suggested a permanent tribute to the West Fork Board of Education.
The students’ display will lead into a permanent installation at both West Fork campuses, said Superintendent Darrin Strike.
After seeing one at Hampton-Dumont High
School, Bohach brought the idea to Strike, suggesting the recognition would signify graduating from a school that is now West Fork, serving America through the military, and being
proud of both.

Nov. 17 at Ridge Stone at 11:30 a.m. for lunch.

on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. in the
north high school gym in Sheffield. Tickets are $5
in advance or $6 at the door. Advance tickets may
be purchased through today at the West Fork High
School office in Sheffield or the West Fork Middle

Though future plans for the former Robinson
estate are undecided, Franklin County
Conservation is excited about the property’s
potential. NICK PEDLEY PHOTO
A PROPERTY
WITH POTENTIAL
FCC acquires full interest
in Robinson estate
BY NICK PEDLEY
Thanks to a generous gift from a former
Hampton resident, Franklin County Conservation is now the sole proprietor of one of the
area’s most unique pieces of real estate.
JoElla Helmers, sister of the late Bill Robinson III, donated half-interest of her family’s 16acre property to the conservation department
earlier this fall. The contribution mirrored
Robinson III’s previous donation and gave the
department full control of the sprawling estate
located near the Hampton Country Club.
“It was really nice of her. When you go out
there, it’s just a really neat area,” said Jason
Gooder, Franklin County Conservation director. “Adding new acres to what we already
have is always a good thing.”
Helmers’ donation closed the book on a
rather interesting transaction process more
than a year in the making.
Melanie Van Horn (Belle) and Trevor Russell (Beast)
will be center stage for the performance of Beauty

NOVEMBER 10, 1955
One hundred twenty-eight voters cast
ballots in the Sheffield municipal election
on Tuesday. There was a great deviation
of opinion regarding the choice of candidates with 35 persons receiving votes
for the eight positions to be filled. Results
showed no unified action on the part of
voters in supporting any one candidate
for a specific office. Five ballots were
spoiled completely and several others
were partially invalidated the voter failing
to place a mark in the square after writing
in the name of the preferred individual for
an office. Candidates elected to serve
the town for the two years beginning
Jan. 2, 1956, all appeared on the ballots.
They are: Ike Olk, mayor, receiving 111
votes. Clinton Emhoff Sr., councilman,
110 votes. L. F. Heuberger, councilman,
118 votes. Brewster Rust, councilman,
122 votes. A. W. Schaefer, councilman,
119 votes. W. W. Taylor, councilman, 107
votes. H. A. Buxton, treasurer, 115 votes.
O. L. Endriss, park commissioner, 21
votes. Buxton, a candidate for treasurer,
was the only candidate to be without opposition, no write-in votes having been
cast against him. Endriss, who has been
on the board since it was inaugurated,
did not appear on the ballot. He was
elected by write-in. John Youge received
seven votes and Ward Levitt six as the
closest contenders for this office. Others
receiving votes were Max Whitney, C. J.
Starkus, Mrs. Matt Bechtel, each two; A.
L. Wartnaby, Leo Schroeder, Dick Boelk,
M. E. Van Sickel, W. Baker, each one.
Write-ins for mayor received one vote
each for William Meyer, Henri Atkinson,
Rex Levitt, Henry Timmerman, and Carl
Foster. Persons receiving write-in votes
for councilmen were Bert Furness, W. C.
Levitt, Carl Foster, John Younge, H. A.
Boelk, Fred Brouillette, Henry Atkinson,
Dr. F. J. Linn, Ernest Froning, Dr. F. Toland, Victor Berding and Harvey Lamp.
Town clerk H. A. Boelk stated Wednesday that this was the most erratic casting
of ballots that he has every experienced
in the many years that he has served as
town clerk and on the election board.
Members of the board were required to
work over two hours to compile the results of the 128 ballots cast.
Jack Brouillette returned Saturday
and is spending a furlough at the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Brouillette. He has completed his basic training
at Camp Chaffee, Ark., with the army.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ewing of Mason
City were Sunday visitors at the O. L.
Endriss home.
Larry Lockwood, cornet player of
Sheffield, will be among the 114 Iowa
State College Marching Band members who will travel to Boulder, Colo.,
on the week end of Nov. 18-20 for the
Iowa State College-Colorado university
football game. The band members will
leave Ames at 6 p. m. Friday, Nov. 18, by
bus. They will transfer to trains at Omaha, Nebr, at 10:20 p. m. and will arrive in
Denver at 8:10 a.m. Saturday morning.
They will travel by bus to Boulder for the
game and then will leave Denver Sunday
evening, arriving in Ames early on Monday morning.
Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Atkinson and son,
Richard, were in Montivedio and Benson,
Minn., on Tuesday and Wednesday of
last week attending to business matters.
The Misses Nancy Schumacker and
Phyllis Hawke of the First Methodist
church M.Y.F. were in Des Moines Friday,
Saturday and Sunday attending a Christian Vocational conference. There were
37 counselors from Iowa and the nation
who gave advice on Christian vocations
open to young people. The sessions
were held in Grace Methodist church
with over 200 youth attending.
Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Fansler of Kingsville, Texas, and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jones
of Rockford were Tuesday visitors at
the home of Sam Gray and Art Holmes.
They helped Mrs. Holmes observe her
birthday.
NOVEMBER 11, 1965
Basketball practice is well underway
for the Sheffield-Chapin Spartans. About
30 boys have reported for practice. Heading the list are three returning lettermen,
seniors – Dennis Boehlje and Bill Knopf;
and one junior, Norm Koenigsberg. Other boys who will be seeing game action
are: Seniors – Mel Wiseman, Denny LaRoque, and Doug Davolt. Juniors – Bob
Weber, Bob Shreckengost, Doug truax,
Larry Freie. Sophomores – Jeff Yelland
and Duane Kruckenberg. The team as a
whole is small in size, 6-ft., 2-in. catching the height of the tallest player on the
team. What is lacked in size will have
to be counterbalanced with extreme
aggressiveness and speed, Coach Jim
Cuvelier pointed out Tuesday. Rebounding will probably be an area in which the
team will be weakest. The team is also
lacking one or two outstanding shooters,
and they are working hard to achieve a
balance as far as the scoring attack is
concerned. “Our strong area will be in
the line of team balance. Ten or eleven
boys will be pretty equal in ability and
height,” Cuvelier said.
Eleven Junior High students qualified for the honor roll during the first
quarter of the Sheffield-Chapin Community school year according to a release received from Prin. Charles M.
Rabey. The list includes three making
superior ratings: seven from seventh
and four from eighth grade being cited
for honors. The three students earning
superior honors which requires one “B”
and all other grades “A”, are John Loken,
grade 7; Belva Bochmann and Mark Bokmeyer, grade 8. The eight students all of
whom had grades of B or better during
the first quarter to place on the regular
honor roll are: Grade 7 – Randal Harvey,
Barbara Jones, Sarah Jorgensen, Jean

November 6, 1975
Sheffield voters cast 173 ballots in
the municipal election held Tuesday,
Nov. 4. The contest for councilmen
should have brought out a larger number
of voters, as six candidates were seeking the three positions. The turnout was
105 short of the 278 voters at the polls
in the 1973 election. Another reason for
the lighter turnout was the fact that some
who came to vote discovered that they
had not been registered, a problem encountered throughout the state. Clifford
Thomas, incumbent mayor, received a
156-vote endorsement to be re-elected
in the election Tuesday. He has previously served the city as mayor for three
terms. There was one write-in vote for
the mayor office, that being cast for
Fred Rohn. W. Dale Brayton, owner of
Sheffield Frozen Foods, received 130
votes to lead the list for city councilmen.
Lawrence Schroeder, local Skelly tank
wagon operator, received 115 votes, and
Don Smit, local tiling contractor and an
incumbent, received 93 votes. These
men were elected to fill the vacancies
which occur this year. Dorothy Hite received 87 votes, Georgia A. Moehle, 42,
and David Lynn Hopes, 34, to complete
the ballots cast. The two members of the
City Council whose terms hold over are
Frank Norris and Dan Dolan.
Mr. and Mrs. Lavine Peter were Sunday evening visitors with Mr. and Mrs.
Clif Thomas.
Mr. and Mrs. Duane Smit were week
end house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ron

to emphasize punching out drugs. A big
“Thanks” to Lou Rosenfeldt for helping
blow up the 160 punch balloons, and
to the P.U.P.S. Club for sponsoring the
poster contest and candy box. The weeklong celebration encouraged cooperation and collaborative work between
students, and emphasized a healthy
life-style of smiles, and hugs, as alternatives to drugs! The PTO treated them to
chocolate hugs on Thursday and smile
stickers were distributed on Wednesday.
It was a fun week, and a good way to
bring out drug awareness!

The Sheffield Press November 5, 2015 Shef¿eld, Iowa
Conservation Education Manager shares
importance of Monarch restoration
By J.Z.
The past week saw things
getting back to normal...at least
I think it was normal! Feeling
fine...got lots of work completed...
and a lot to do. The only problem
that I remember causing me grief
was the computer. My email disappeared sometime Thursday
morning. Due to the fact that I
spent most of Thursday running
a press...I didn’t discover the
problem until mid-afternoon.
Then it was panic time. I spent
way over an hour with a technician trying to get the problem
solved...but that didn’t work. Late
afternoon and I had to leave to
get ready to take pictures at the
fall variety show at school and
fixing the computer would have
to wait until morning. Called
my boss and told him of the situation and he said he’d be here
first thing in the morning. Up
early and came to work to once
again assess the problem. And
the thing was working just fine!
Called the boss and told him
the email was working just as
it should, and he needn’t show
up. (I wanted to tell him I spent
most of the night fixing it...but I
knew he wasn’t gonna’ buy that!)
When it comes to working with a
problem on the computer, I’m not
sure whether I’m stupid or dumb!
But I’m sure one (if not both) of
those descriptions fit! Anyway...
back in business in the office,
so headed back to the presses.
Thursday evening spent at the
West Fork Fall Variety Show tak-
ing pictures, and Saturday late
afternoon took some shots of the
children dressed up in their Halloween costumes at the Community Club Halloween Party. And
once again...it’s Monday morning. And as usual...no problem
staying busy today!
Home...mighty quiet on the
home front. Doing my best to
take things little easier than normal. I’ve gotten to where I can
sit in front of the tube for a half
hour! (It used to be 10/15 minutes!) I’m letting the dust get a little deeper than usual! Saturday is
normally one of my mornings to
sleep in a little later. That didn’t
work this Saturday. Up and did
some odds and ends...cleaned up
and spent the afternoon in Mason City. Back to Sheffield to take
pictures at the Halloween party
for the kids...and back to Mason
City to meet Shirley. Sunday I
did sleep in an extra hour. Didn’t
make it to Altoona over the week
end as Little Lid had a birthday
party to attend Saturday afternoon, and Sunday I can’t remember what they had going. I spent
some time here at the office in
the afternoon, once again trying
to get a jump start on Monday.
I’m hoping this week I’ll be able
to catch up on a lot of things in
the printing department. But not
completely! I’d rather be somewhat behind. Heck...I’ve been so
far behind most of my life that
I thought I was in first place! Be
good, Kids! It’s Showtime!

Ten of the most wanted senior
golfers showed up on Monday
to beat the Wednesday weather
forecast. The weather was chilly
but very conducive to golf and
ahhh just about all weather is
with these hardened guys of the
links. The General that be one
Thomas Severe type barked out
commands for the battle at hand.
It was going to pit five against
five with winners taking all. Now
if that didn’t inspire, enhance
our drive and bring our egos out
front nothing would. I mean folks
were talking mooochO $$$$$$$$
here and of course the bragging
rights of being the best. I must
admit my troops fell short in
their quest to beat the best but oh
it was fun, I think.. Doug Siems,
Gary (wounded) Nelson, Dallas
Slagle, Dave ($$$$$) Levitt and
Billy the Nolte took home top
honors with a solid 66. Old Nellie
Gary type just back from rehabbing his Hammeritis illness was
shining like the brightest stars
in the galaxy. Kaboom, Kazaam,
Kafoo, and krushfoo were his
game, long long and longer. Old
Slags right in there was precise
as a top notch carpenter hitting
the nail on the head. Douglas old
Douggy was dead on, per usual,
with his pin point approach shots
and then old Willie Nolteeees
dumped in numerous putts with
precision accuracy. Levittsie
there knew just how many shots
he needed to make to win so he
could afford to return next week,
which he ALWAYS does.
Marvin (swab) Kramer, Rog
Rogaaar Madsen, Tom-Tom Severe, Bobbies Shreckengost and
Nedly Do Right Bohach came in
second with a 68. I mean that’s
pretty darned good considering
there were only two teams. Marvie baby did have one awesome
hole where we used his drive, his
approach and he sank the putt
for a birdie. We looked around
and there was a star in the East,
truly a miracle, well that’s what
Shreckie told me to write. Marvies putter was on fire, wow like
a screaming bullet smashing the
bulls eye. Shreck made only one
putt, yup just ONE, simply one
but hey he came close one other
time. Rogaar slammed a couple of
monster drives, one went so far…
ahhhh…left we couldn’t find it,
I think it went over the railroad
tracks. My contribution was driving the golf cart and watching Severe boy drill his approach shots
into the green.
Thus as the time on the calendar indicates the coming of cold
and colder weather we cherish
every day on the links. Marv
Krames told me that since Pluto
was discovered it hasn’t completed its orbit around the sun
and that will happen in the year
2175 and Marv said he can hardly wait. Math genius Levitt told
me that one trillion seconds is 33
years, yup that’s what he said if
you question him just give it a go!
Rog Madsen told me that brand
new golf balls are attracted to the
water and the power of attraction
is proportionate to the how much
the balls cost. Yup that be true
folks. Bobby Shreck told me that
golf is 90 percent mental and 10
percent mental; wow I’m glad to
know that. Alas, Mr. Bazinga is
about to pull the plug on my computer thus before it is all deleted
veeegates!

Nature Center
launches
Monarch Mania!
program
BY TODD VON EHWEGEN
In the 60’s, the number of bald
eagles was so low that biologists
feared they might be headed for
extinction. There wasn’t a single
bald eagle nest in Iowa. Today
bald eagles are one of our greatest conservation success stories
because law makers, public and
private conservation agencies
and American citizens took action to protect this iconic bird,
which now nests in nearly every
county in Iowa and has been removed from the endangered species list.
Today another iconic species
needs our help. The monarch
butterfly, once common across
the countryside and in everyone’s backyards, has decreased
90 percent since the 90’s. A drastic reduction in milkweed plants,
especially in the very important
monarch breeding grounds of
the Midwest, is believed to be one
of the main causes for this decline.
Everyone knows what a monarch is, and everyone can do
something to help. The only
plant monarch caterpillars will
eat is milkweed. Without it they
cannot survive. So the solution
seems relatively simple – plant
milkweeds!
Fortunately, there are numerous species of milkweeds native
to Iowa, all of which are eaten
by monarch caterpillars. In addition, they are relatively easy to
grow and maintain in backyard
gardens and habitat plantings.
So, like the bald eagle campaign
decades earlier, a massive effort
to save the monarch butterfly is
underway and gaining traction
throughout the Midwest.
The Lime Creek Nature Center is joining this effort with our
program, Monarch Mania! The
goal is to assist citizens, schools,

businesses and communities
with planting native milkweeds
and wildflowers on their properties to provide critical habitat and
help turn the tide for monarchs.
In addition we promote planting
nectar plants for bees and other
pollinator species, many of which
are also struggling. These pollinators are a very important component of our food supply and
their declining numbers should
concern everyone.
Components of the program
will include a web site (www.
monarchmania.com) full of resources with a section to share
monarch pictures, videos, and
observations; public training
sessions on creating pollinator
gardens; assistance to schools
and communities for planting
pollinator gardens; signs to post

photographer and took many pictures of monarch butterflies over
the years.
Restoring a struggling wildlife species almost always starts
with restoring their habitat. Establishing milkweed and pollinator plant gardens in backyards,
fields, and roadsides throughout
the Midwest will make a huge
impact in reversing the alarming
decline of our beloved monarchs
and pollinator species.
More information on the Monarch Mania! program will be
available on our Facebook page
and web site as the program develops.
In addition, the Lime Creek
Nature Center is offering a program Nov. 16 at 5:30 p.m. on creating monarch and pollinator
plantings (Members are free,
non-members pay $5. To register,
call 641-423-5309). Participants
will enjoy a bowl of chili as they
learn about the Monarch Mania!
program, and will take home a

Please get involved and help
make the return of the monarch a
conservation success story equal
to that of the bald eagle!

WHY THEY FARM
Ackley death
still under
investigation
BY NICK PEDLEY
Officials are reporting no new
developments in a case involving
the questionable death of an Ackley woman late last month.
Jennifer Dittmer, 46, died Oct.
24 at the hospital after emergency responders were called to her
Franklin County home. Due to
questionable circumstances surrounding the woman’s death, the
Franklin County Sheriff’s Office
and other local law enforcement
agencies launched an investigation into the case.
According to Franklin County
Chief Deputy Linn Larson, the
case is not being investigated as
a homicide. Dittmer’s body was
sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. Preliminary results found no indication
of blunt force trauma or other
suspicious injuries.
“Unless there’s something
earth shattering with the case,
we’ll just wait to get the results
of the autopsy and toxicology
report back,” Larson explained.
“Those usually take a while.”
Larson said in a previous interview that follow-up investigations are common when a death
occurs outside the immediate
care of a physician or other medical professional.
“Once it was determined that
there was no blunt force trauma
or anything like that, we start to
move away from suspicious activity and onto medical or accidental causes,” he said.
Larson didn’t expect any
charges to be filed in the case. A
search warrant was executed on
Dittmer’s home following her
death, and authorities say her
husband, Randall Dittmer, has
cooperated fully with the investigation.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s
Office is the lead agency for the
case. Assisting agencies include
the Iowa Division of Criminal
Investigations, Hardin County
Sheriff’s Office and the Ackley
Police Department.

They remember helping their
dad and grandpa with seasonal
duties and other chores, which
sparked a passion that grew into
a career as they grew older.
Unfortunately, tragedy rocked
the family in 1990 when Dwight
lost a lengthy battle with cancer.
Mike and Doug were left without
a father, and their mother, Charlane Pralle-Janssen, was left with
two young boys and a farm.
Times were difficult, but there
was light at the end
of the tunnel. Vernon picked up in
his son’s absence
and helped raise
the boys as they Farmers
grew into teenagdo care
ers, teaching them
about farming and
about
ot her i mpor ta nt
the land
life lessons.
The t wo boys
- Mike Pralle
also learned to lean
on each other.
“Where one is strong, the other
is weak; where one is weak, the
other is strong,” said their mother. “They compliment each other.”
The compassionate remark was
one of many featured in the short
film. Mike and Doug were humbled by the kind words from their
peers, even if it made them a little
uncomfortable. They prefer staying out of the limelight but saw an
opportunity to promote farming
through the documentary.
“Everybody knows what farming is around here, but people in
bigger cities have no indication,”
Doug said. “They think it’s just a
big factory deal and don’t understand that it’s families and grassroots.”
Doug’s response was one of
many reasons why he and Mike
agreed to share their story. The
filming process was a bit strange,
but the brothers felt it was important to show agriculture in a
positive light.
“I don’t know that there’s ever
been a camera on the farm, so that
was different,” Doug said. “But
we’ve received a lot of comments,
all good. A lot of people have
watched the video.”
So why do the Pralles farm?
For Mike, it was a love of the
land.
“Farmers do care about the
land. We drink the water right
from underneath the ground that
we farm,” he says in the video.
“It’s important to let everybody
else know that, too. Farmers do
care about the land.”
Doug offered a more personal
perspective.
“It’s the best way to make a
living. It’s entrepreneurship,” he
said. “You get out of it what you
put in. I guess I farm because it
gives me an opportunity to control my own destiny.”
HOMELESSNESS
The Northern Lights Alliance
for the Homeless began in 1999
and now offers food, shelter,
medical and dental care, daycare,
transportation, substance abuse
treatment and employment assistance to people in Cerro Gordo, Floyd, Franklin, Kossuth,
Mitchell, Worth, Winnebago and
Wright counties.
Last year, Northern Lights
housed 398 men, women and
children. That number is expected to surpass 500 this year between their four shelters in Mason City.
“I think the stigma that’s attached to homelessness makes
them want to hide it,” Kingery
said. “We have such a strong
work ethic here in the Midwest
that I think people are very
ashamed to be homeless.”
Kingery wants to decrease the
stigma, raise awareness and help
people get back on their feet.
The ‘why don’t they just get a
job’ response to homelessness is
common, she said, adding that
she used to have that reaction before working with the homeless
and seeing the human side of the
issue.
“I don’t think that way anymore,” she said. “I’ve changed
my complete perception of what
homeless people truly are. Some-

homelessness in eight north Iowa counties, including Franklin County.

times it’s just a matter of having
someone to believe in them, because they’ve never had that person to say ‘You can do better. You
can be better. You can do this.’”
Getting a job takes the back
burner when the stress of worrying about where to sleep consumes their mind, Kingery said.
Her organization works to eliminate that concern by providing a
free place to stay, eat and shower
while clients try to find employment.
“They are just normal everyday people,” Kingery said.
“They’re not lazy, they just need
a hand up to get ahead. They do
truly want to be productive members of society.”
Most of the time, Kingery said
clients end up in the homeless
shelters as a result of a traumatic
life event that spiraled out of control.
“The majority of our clients
are not here because of something they did, but because of
something that happened to
them,” she said.
The organization has seen
growth in recent years and looks
to expand in the future, with
sights set on a possible family
shelter. Clients who check in as
a whole family must be split into
the men’s shelter and the women and children’s shelter for the
sleeping hours and sometimes
throughout the day.
The organization operates on
a budget that is made up by 20
percent grants and 80 percent donations from events like the one
this Saturday.
“An Evening of Hope and
Promise” is scheduled to last
from 6-9 p.m., on Nov. 7 at the
Prime n’ Wine in Mason City. It
will feature a live auction, silent
auction, hors d’oeuvres and cash
bar.
Tickets are available for $40
at the east and west HyVee locations in Mason City, First Citizens National Bank and by delivery if ordered over the phone by
contacting the office at (641)-4235920. Tickets can be purchased at
the door, but organizers prefer
advance purchase.
Around 130 attendees are expected for the second year of the
event, which is planned to be annual.

AGE OF
THE GEEK
Travis
Fischer
It’s official! We are living in a
Supergirl world.
Jeb Bush wasn’t the only one
who excitedly tuned in for the
primetime premier of CBS’s entry into the super hero television
market. The first episode raked
in a whopping 16 million viewers, which is pretty impressive
considering the pilot episode
was leaked to the Internet several
months ago.
Personally speaking, I liked
the first episode well enough.
It was fun and funny, but didn’t
seem to mind getting down and
dirty when it came time to have
the super-powered aliens start
punching each other. Other than
some cringe worthy dialogue,
generally a result of the show
making sure you haven’t forgotten that Supergirl is both a super
hero and a woman, as though
that’s some stunning revelation,
I think the show is off to a pretty
good start.
But wow, there sure are a lot
of comic book based shows out
there. They’re even starting to
bump into each other. In an appropriate twist, particularly considering the upcoming “Batman
v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
movie, CBS’s “Supergirl” is running head-to-head against Fox’s
“Gotham,” in the same timeslot.
So to celebrate yet another
entry into the market, let’s do
a quick rundown of what’s out
there to watch.
Arrow
I like “Arrow,” but last season
didn’t make it easy. Still, I remain
hopeful that things will pick up
again in this new season, particularly with the news that at least
one episode will feature the return of Matt Ryan as Constantine
after his own show was tragically
ended last year.
“Arrow’s” largest problem is
that it suffers from something of
an identity crisis. Originally a “realistic” adaptation of the Green
Arrow, the show started out with
the philosophy that the more
fantastic elements of comic book
characters should be toned down.
That philosophy has been
changing as the show adds super-humans, ninja assassins and
now magic into the mix. However, the transition from grim and
gritty to fun and fantastic has not
been particularly smooth. It has
a hard time reconciling the conflicting tones as its main character shifts from a murderous vigilante to a more colorful costumed
crimefighter.
The Flash
Racing into its second season,
“The Flash” was easily one of
the best new shows of last year.
Spinning off from “Arrow,” the
story of a young Barry Allen
quickly matched and surpassed
its parent show and now seems to
be setting the pace for the CW’s
joined DC Universe.
The spin-off has been so successful that players from both “Arrow” and “The Flash” (including
former Superman and Iowa native, Brandon Routh) will be coming together with “DC’s Legends
of Tomorrow” early next year.
Gotham
“Gotham” was something of
a pleasant surprise last season. I
was afraid that the show would
be nothing but another police procedural with the occasional comic
reference. Instead, I got a show so
spectacularly over-the-top that
you can’t help but be entertained.
So far, the second season continues to impress with some great
performances from actors that
were apparently told to abandon
the concept of restraint. That said,
I worry that the “Rise of the Villains” may be relying too much
on bringing in Gotham’s most famous costumed crazies, a warning sign that the show is already
starting to run out of ideas.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
With only a single entry on
network television, and a spin-off
at that, Marvel doesn’t have the
TV presence that DC has. Still,
“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
is no slouch.
Mixing metahuman antics
with spy games, the show really
hit its stride last year and continues to pick up the pace for its
third season. In particular, last
week’s episode, “4,722 Hours,”
will probably go down as a landmark episode for the series.
Also, special mention to “Marvel’s Agent Carter,” which will
continue to serve as a mid-season
filler while the show is on break.
Following a successful first se-
Energy bill
assistance
available
North Iowa Community Action Organization is accepting applications for the 2015-16
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Applicants will need to provide a copy of their Social Security card for all members of
their household, a copy of a recent heating bill/electric bill and
proof of all household members’
gross income for the past three
months, the past calendar year or
their most recent federal income
tax return.
The LIHEAP program is funded by the department of Health
and Human Services through
the Iowa Department of Human
Rights/DCAA. This program is
not designed to pay a household’s
total energy costs.
The program will provide
supplemental assistance based
on several factors, including total household income, household
size, dwelling type and type of
heating fuel, among others. The
deadline to apply is April 30,
2016.
Income maximums listed in
order of household size, threemonth income and annual gross
income: 1, $5,149, $20,598; 2,
$6,969, $27,878; 3, $8,789, $35,158;
4, $10,609, $42,438; 5, $12,429,
$49,718; and 6, $14,249, $56,998.
Households that are over income guidelines may be eligible
for LIHEAP benefits through the
medical waiver component. The
medical expenses must be documented, paid and non-reimbursable.
Applications will be accepted
in Franklin County at the Community Resource Center located
at 123 1st Ave. SW in Hampton on
Tuesdays and Wednesday.

(641) 423-9028 or visit www.niacao-online.org.
ries, Hayley Atwell will return in
2016 for more late-’40s spy action.
Jessica Jones and Daredevil
Not technically television,
Marvel’s cinematic universe
shows its darker side on Netflix.
Last April we got the amazing
“Daredevil” series. This year,
along with a second season of
“Daredevil,” we’ll get “Jessica
Jones,” the story of a jaded metahuman turned private detective.
“Jessica Jones” hits Netflix on
Nov. 20 and “Daredevil” season
two should be released next April.
The Walking Dead
It’s not all capes and masks.
“The Walking Dead” is shambling through its sixth season on
AMC. I admit I stopped watching
the show a few years ago, but I
assume Rick is still making really
bad decisions, Daryl is still awesome and somebody is looking
for Carl.
And I kinda doubt you-knowwho is really dead.
iZombie
Considering my love of zombie movies, it’s odd that I don’t
watc h “iZombie” eit her. Of
course, “iZombie” is hardly a
traditional zombie story. Instead,
it features a “high-functioning”
zombie that solves crimes by eating the brains, and thus gaining
memories, of murder victims.
I’ve heard nothing but good
things about the show, so perhaps I’ll binge watch the first season one of these days.
Lucifer
What if the devil got bored
and decided to abandon hell,
move to Los Angeles, open a piano bar and occasionally help police catch criminals?
I guess we’ll find out later this
year.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ weekly fishing
report is compiled from information gathered from local bait
shops, angler creel surveys, and
county and state parks staff. For
current information, contact the
Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at (641) 357-3517.
Clear Lake: Yellow bass, good.
Anglers have been seeing action
near the Baptist Camp area and
the MacIntosh swim beach fishing with cut bait. The rock humps
by the State Dock area on the
north shore have been producing yellows and an occasional
walleye. Yellows seem to want a
slow-moving bait rather than a
still bait.
Walleye, fair. A few walleyes
have been caught while slow
drifting for yellows bass.
Yellow perch, fair: Some perch
have been caught near the south
Ventura jetty.
Shell Rock R iver (above
Greene): Smallmouth bass, no report. Smallmouth bass should be
biting well. October is a great time
to fish the small rivers. Try a small
spoon, spinner or a twister tail.
Winnebago River: Smallmouth bass, no report. Smallmouth bass should be biting well.
See report above.

“This became kind of a bigger thing than we had thought,”
McKee said. “What we thought of
as a little bulletin board grew to
something bigger.”
As of last week, information
and photos had been submitted
for 17 veterans, some of which
have connections to students in
the schools.
“I know [students] respect veterans,” McKee said. “I hope this
puts a face to the events we study
in history, and gives them a more
personal connection to the military service of our community
members.”
She hopes the students will
take pride in being a part of what
could be the first step to a permanent display at the schools.
THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME TO HONOR LOCAL
VETERANS NOV. 11 AT AREA VETERANS’ DAY PROGRAMS:
• The Sheffield American Legion
• Hampton-Dumont High School
will be joined by the Meservey and
will host a program in the gymnasium
Thornton legions to lead a ceremony
from 9:45-10:45 a.m. Prior to the serthat will feature music and speeches
vice, there will be a breakfast recepin the West Fork High School gym at
tion for all veterans in Jane Hoegh’s
8:30 a.m.
room at 8:30 a.m. Guests will then
go to the veterans’ monument at
• West Fork eighth grade U.S.
the Franklin County Courthouse (or
History students will present their
G.A.R. Memorial Hall in case of bad
annual Veterans’ Day program at
weather) for a short service at 11 a.m.
10 a.m. in the Rockwell campus
gym. Guest speaker, Mike Flatness,
student speakers, poetry readings,
songs and a performance by the middle school band will be featured. The
Rockwell United Methodist Church
will then provide coffee and cookies
for guests.
That’s everything confirmed
for this year, but there’s even
more coming down the pipe. Rumors abound of a “Teen Titans”
show on Spike TV, a “Krypton”
show on Syfy and two “X-Men”
based shows on FX and Fox,
among many others.
This bubble may burst some
day, but it’s safe to say that comic
book geeks won’t be hungry for
new adaptations any time soon.

and has enjoyed meeting some
FMC patients.
“I look forward to becoming
settled in practice here and getting
better acquainted,” she said. “Taking care of the whole person and

newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.
Mildred Adaline Clemenson
Mildred “Millie” Adaline Clemenson was found brutally slain on Nov.
11, 1998 inside her rural Kensett mobile home. An autopsy indicated Clemenson died from blunt force trauma
to the head and had been dead for two
days before family members reported
her death to authorities, despite the fact
she had a plane
WLFNHW WR À\
to Arizona on
Nov. 10. On
the day of her
death, she’d allegedly gone to
the bank to cash in a large bond.
Clemenson’s only child, adopted
daughter Marcia Patton, had moved her
family into the main home and moved
Clemenson into the mobile home next
to the farmhouse the year prior to Clemenson’s death.
Clemenson had just recently become
the executor of the estate for her late
stepmother. Upon Clemenson’s death,
Patton immediately assumed the position as executor. Clemenson’s death
“made her adopted daughter a millionaire,” a family member told Iowa Cold
Cases.
Mildred Adaline Clemenson | Age: 81
Died: November 9, 1998
Hometown: Kensett

ROBINSON ESTATE
Unbeknownst to conservation officials, Robinson III had
willed the department his eightacre stake in the property prior
to his death. The conservation
department became half-owners
of the property when he died in
September 2013, which forced the
board to weigh its options.
Initially, members voted to sell
Franklin County Conservation’s
half-interest in the property. The
department controlled the west
side of the estate, which included
the house, guesthouse and various
sheds. Board members felt it would
be difficult to renovate the ailing
buildings, and other projects simply seemed more pertinent.
Helmers, who held the other half-interest in the property,
debated her options as well. Following months of back-and-forth
discussion, the South Carolina
woman decided to give her portion of the property to the conser-
vation department free of charge.
“As time went on and we continued to visit with each other,
we talked about what the property meant to us and the community,” Gooder said. “JoElla kind of
felt that it might be in her best interest to donate the other half to
us so we could use the property
as a whole instead of a half.”
The conservation board has
since rescinded its decision to sell
the property, but future plans remain uncertain. Board members
have expressed interest in turning the area into a campground
or park; however, funding limitations could prolong the process.
The conservation department
is also busy with other projects
like the Rolling Prairie Trail and
upgrades to Mallory Park, which
take precedence.
“Once we get some of these
other things done, we’ll zero in
on goals for the property and
start the planning process,”
Gooder said. “I’m hoping to look
at grant opportunities over the
winter.”
The fate of the house is one of
the biggest questions faced by the
conservation board. The unique
brick dwelling features multiple
rooms, an indoor pool and other
interesting characteristics, but it
poses hurdles. The interior is extremely dilapidated due to years
of neglect and needs extensive
renovations.
The house would also need
to be made handicap-accessible
if the conservation department
opened it for public use. Gooder
said he and the board have discussed moving the conservation
department’s headquarters into
the estate, but that might be a
long shot.
“It’s an initial thought and
nothing more than that right
now. It’s all contingent on fund-
ing and those types of things,” he
said.
For now, the conservation department is focused on cleaning
up the property and creating
maintenance efficiencies. Workers have already improved the
yard’s appearance this year by
removing multiple dead and
dying trees. Next spring, the department intends to plant native
prairie grasses and wildflowers in
the front yard to reduce mowing
requirements.
“That’s where we’re at with it,”
Gooder said. “It’s a full plate right
now.”
Though future plans are undecided, the conservation director was enthusiastic about the
property’s potential.
“Everybody’s excited about
it. The board likes the look of the
home and the size of the property,”
he said. “It’s just a tough decision to
make on what to do with it all.”

BY KRISTI NIXON
FORT DODGE – If good things
come in threes, West Fork had
plenty of good to talk about after
last weekend’s state cross country meet.
The Warhawk girls’ team and
Jacob Hansen, running as an individual, all wound their way
through a soggy Lakeside Golf
Course in Fort Dodge for third
place finishes.
“I ran it pretty well,” Hansen
said. “Obviously the mud is going to slow you down, anyway. I
got through it and tried to play it
safe around the mud.”
Sophomore two-time qualifier Talia Rowe added, “There
was only one really bad spot last
year and this year there was mud
everywhere and you just had to
learn how to run with it. But it
was really fun.”
It was the first team trophy for
the West Fork girls after the boys’
team had back-to-back runner-up
finishes the two previous years.
Coach Mark Twedt’s team
scored 89 points, led by Kenna
Weaver’s 15th place overall finish – good for an individual medal – to take third behind Central,
Elkader (66) and perennial cross
country team power Pekin (76).
“Starting the year, that (top
three) was our goal,” Twedt said.
“We just had to make sure we
had all the pieces. To get that, we
had to get a couple of kids back
who were hurt last year. And we
had a kid do both volleyball and
basketball, double up. And then
we had Kenna come up and do
what she did.
“A lot of things had to fall into
place. Luckily, they all did.”
Twedt said that in all of the
cases for his girls’ and boys’
teams, the pieces have fallen into
place.
Kenna Weaver was ninth in
team scoring, crossing the finish
line in 20 minutes, 30.8 seconds.
The next four that completed the
team scoring for the Warhawks
all were within 40 seconds of
each ot her in t he 21-minute
range.
That group included Maya
Rowe, Talia Rowe, Maddison
Shupe and Cailey Weaver.
“We pack-run better, so that is
what did us well, I think,” Talia
Rowe said. “It went really well.
Maya actually beat me and Shupe
was right behind us, so that was
really good.”
Shupe, who split much of the
Fall between volleyball and cross
country, said that just concentrat-

ing on running heading into the
state meet helped for the race.
“I got to practice with the team
a lot,” Shupe said.
“I got to know how people
run, what pace I should be running, I got to run with the team
because earlier in the season I
was running by myself and I
kind of felt like I fell back a little
bit because I didn’t know what
everyone else is running.
“Everybody else was accelerat-
ing and stuff and I thought I was
doing good, but I didn’t know to
compare with anybody.”
Talia Rowe, who ran in last
year’s meet, said the experience
was different for a few reasons.
“My place was not as good (as
last year),” Talia Rowe said, “but
it was more competition, I think.
It was cold, but not as cold as last
year. I had more time to be here
and warm-up because last year I
was coming off of state cheer on
the same day, so it was kind of
crazy. It was fun.”
Twedt said, “This is great, they
are going to remember this and
hopefully they remember how
they got here. That’s what really
is important...Today, I’m a little
bit more satisfied than usual.”
Hansen, running in his third
straight state meet, but as an individual for the first time, posted
a third place finish after getting
out to an early lead.
“It was a pretty good race,”
Hansen said. “I’d say I think I
ran pretty smart to get third. I
was hoping I could place or potentially win it. I was in position
for it in the first half of the race
and then I hit the hills and fell
apart a little bit.
“It was really different (not
running with a team). I’ve never
not had a team here before. It’s
just different, standing at the
starting line by yourself. I’m sure
Peyton Twedt felt it a few years
ago when he was a sophomore.”
With about a mile left to go,
Hansen had fallen back to fourth,
but made a move and passed
Nodaway Valley’s state championship team leader Shane Breheny down the stretch and finished five seconds ahead of him.
“I think I went out a little fast,”
Hansen said. “I could feel it. I felt
a little nauseous because I went
out so hard. I could feel it in my
legs, too. Overall, though, I was
pretty happy today.”
He was behind Ogden junior
Andrew Stumbo and Bellevue
senior Andrew Meyer.
“My goal next year is to win
it,” Hansen said. “I know the
guy who won it this year was a
junior, but I think he had a good
race. I had a good race, too, but
with the right off-season training, especially with track I think
I can definitely make that top
spot.
“Probably my top goal next
year is to get the team to go and
on track in the summer-time.
Hopefully, they can have some
good times over the summer and
make it to state.”
The girls lose three seniors,
two of which counted toward
team scoring at the state meet.
The Warhawks will need to reload in order to make another
run with three of the top five returning.
“Next year we’ve just got to
get more people out,” Talia Rowe
said, “because we’ve got three
seniors on the team who helped
a lot. Get more people and get
them involved early so we can be
good again.”
Shupe added, “It’s exciting.
We’ve been a team for a long time
now. We joke about how we eat
every meal together because this
week we’ve had...team suppers
and such. It’s crazy how close of a
team we are. It will be interesting.
I know what to expect coming
back. It will be fun, train harder in
the summer and hopefully we’ll
be able to come back.”
So committed is Hansen to
reaching the top, he will miss
some practice time for wrestling
as the Winter season starts to
compete in some races, although
he said he wouldn’t miss any
wrestling meets. Among the
cross country races he’ll attend
are the Nike Regionals in a few
weeks and another in Kenosha,
Wis., at the end of the month.
“I still have another month
left of cross country,” Hansen
said. “At the end of November,
once that is over I can get into
wrestling and then transition
into track. I’m hoping I can run
those (meets) and if the weather is right, potentially get a couple PRs.”
Twedt said that his teams haven’t won a state championship
yet, but it isn’t easy. He added
neither is winning an individual
title.
“Jacob, I know he’s disappointed, I know he wanted to win, but
he ran strong,” Twedt said. “He’s
made all-state three years in a
row; and he’s a junior. And that’s
the best you can do that way.”
