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

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.

Rockwell
approves
dueling

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.

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. Refreshments will
also be available.
The public is invited to an open house at the West Fork Agricultural Learning Center on Tuesday, May 17 from 8:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. SUBMITTED PHOTO

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-

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.

the return of the Whig Party is looking more likely by the day.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it
will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. 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.

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,
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,
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,
