Sukups partner with West Fork for athletic complex
By Travis Fischer
After a series of setbacks, it looks
like the West Fork Athletic Complex
has gotten a break.
During the last meeting of the
West Fork Com munit y School
Board, the board was discussing cost
saving measures to bring the total
cost of the project down to below
their $3.5 million limit. In addition
to cutting $177,750 in optional items
from the project, they also considered eliminating costs by foregoing
the parking lot project and moving
the wrestling room inside the main
structure rather than giving it a
stand-alone wing.
At their regular meeting on Monday, June 15 Superintendent Strike
announced that a new partnership
has created an opportunity to construct the building as originally intended.
Sukup Manufacturing has offered to donate the cost of raw materials for the building, bringing the
price down by $247,153. Sukup’s donation will allow the district to move
forward with the original plans for
the structure while staying under
budget.
With a bit of additional fiscal
wiggle room, Superintendent Darrin Strike proposed to the board that
they reinstate some of the items they
had previously cut from the project,
such as liquid sealing for the floors
and ceiling tile in some of the rooms.
The board agreed to bringing
back the liquid seal for the floors,
but the ceiling tiles became a point
of debate.
“I don’t see the point of having
ceiling tiles up there at all,” said
board member Rob Heimbuch.
The board discussed the pros and
cons of the ceiling tiles, with board
member Mary Beth Sukup and Superintendent Strike making the case
for including the tiles and Heimbuch, Mary Schlichting, and Roger
Witte making the case against.
The benefits of re-including them
in the project included better sound
management for the rooms, a nicer
looking environment, and more op-
tions for lighting and other electrical
work. In addition, some of the money saved by foregoing the ceiling
tile would have to go into additional
paint.
“If we can afford it, I say some of
this stuff could be worth it,” said Sukup.
On the other side, it was noted
that ceiling tiles require more routine maintenance, creating

Hampton
Municipal Band to
perform June 23
The Hampton Municipal Band
will present its fourth concert of the
season on
June 23.
Featured at this concert are Brian
Stevens and Nic Vetter on a tuba
duet and Andrea Gibson will be the
vocal soloist. Brian is the past director of the Hampton Municipal Band
and continues to stay active as a performer, playing in the North Iowa
Concert Band, the Yupitza Polka
Band as well as a regular sub in the
Mason City and Clear Lake municipal bands. Nic just graduated from
Hampton-Dumont High School and
was very active in the fine arts during his school years. He and Brian
will be performing “Forty Fathoms”.
Gibson is very familiar to the
Hampton community, as she is
widely sought after as a vocalist. She
sings with the Franklin Chorale and
has been a regular soloist with the
Municipal Band recently. She will be
performing an arrangement of “Over
the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of
Oz”.
The municipal band, under the direction of Chris Sauke, is comprised
of 50 area musicians of all ages.
Concerts will be held on Tuesday
evenings through June 30 in the city
park band shell beginning at 8 p.m.
PAINTING THE TOWN
• 125 POUNDS OF POWDER
COLORS FUN RUN IN SHEFFIELD
By Kelly McGowan
early 80 participants held paper
cups of colored cornstarch powder at the misty starting line of the
Sheffield Color Run Saturday.
“Sheffield, are you ready?” announcer
Preston Shane of Shane’s DJing said into his
microphone.
The crowd burst into a roar of excited
cheers as Shane gave runners and walkers
the go and they flung their cups in the air. A
cloud of blue, green, yellow, pink and purple
powder formed around them and fell on the
high school parking lot.
“The Distance” by Cake boomed through
loudspeakers and police deputy Sam Cain
took off in a Gator, leading participants on
a 5-kilometer route around town. Volunteers
waited at color stations throughout the course
to douse participants with more color.
The Sheffield Community Club organized
this family run/walk to raise money to be
able play four movies in the city park over
the summer. Registrants paid $30 or $35 for
entry and a T-shirt depending on when they

“We want to keep people here and do family
things so they don’t have to leave town,” said
Jamie Robbins, who organized the run.
Twenty-six local businesses donated between $20 and $200 each to cover the cost of
hosting the run, which included $531 to buy
125 pounds of color.
Josh Stevens, a junior at West Fork High
School, and Courtney Larson, who graduated
this year, received $25 West Fork Wharf gift
cards for finishing as first male and female
runners. Both were West Fork athletes.
With color running down their faces and
covering their clothes, participants gathered
in the lot for music and snacks at the postrace party.
“It was awesome,” said Tracy Hoveland
of Mason City. “They put on a good race. I
would do it again in a heartbeat.”
The Sheffield Community Club welcomes
anyone to their meetings, held the fourth
Thursday of each month at the EMS building
in Sheffield.

Iowa Roots: Iowa State honors a
agricultural
gricultural
history, Sukup family with End Zone Project
By Kelly McGowan
A familiar corrugated steel – the
kind used to make grain bins – has
found another purpose at Iowa State
University.
The industrial material is traveling from Sukup Manufacturing
in Sheffield to Ames to grace Jack
Trice Stadium as the focal point of
the new end zone addition. Sukup
End Zone Club season ticketholders will have access to a two-level
lounge that is part of the stadium’s
$60 million renovation project,
which will open this fall. The lounge
features fixtures and signs made
from the Sukup-manufactured steel
used for grain bins in Iowa and
worldwide.
“We hope it creates a feel for the
farming aspect of Iowa,” said Emily
Schmitt, general counsel for Sukup
Manufacturing. “It was a perfect
highlight.”
Iowa State University President
Steven Leath said the “classy” de-
sign is fitting for a sports club and
ties ISU to its agricultural roots.
“Because the metal structure
can be so clearly identified, it will
remind people of the great support
from the Sukup family,” he said.
Some Sukup employees have followed the construction process.
“It has been exciting,” Schmitt
said. “The employees have been
amazed by the progress.”
Schmitt said the project will elevate the football program and en-
capsulate a great spirit, a mission she
said her family likes to support.
“It’s very unique,” she said.
“It’ll be a great unique atmosphere
to grow ISU to a next-level experience.”
• A history of support
The Sukup family has a longstanding relationship with Iowa
State. Founders Eugene and Mary
Sukup have honorary degrees, president and vice president/CFO Charles
and Steve Sukup earned degrees and
the family’s third generation has
earned six degrees from the university, according to cyclones.com.
Through their donations for Sukup Hall, scholarships, professorships
and the athletic department, Leath
said the family has “touched on every one of the ways to make ISU better.”

Tough budget
decisions highlight
extended 2015 session
With the final adjournment of the
2015 legislative session, our work at
the Statehouse is complete for the
year.
In my role as the House Majority Leader, I have the opportunity to
provide closing remarks at end of the
legislative session. In my comments
this year, I noted that we started this
session with a difficult budget situation. Our growing obligations exceeded the amount of revenue coming in.
To some, this was yet another
opportunity to return to the days of
spending more than the states takes
in. It is far too easy to build the ending balance into the ongoing expenses. Well, I should say, it’s easy until
it isn’t. It’s easy until revenue drops
and there isn’t anywhere to go but to
budget cuts and broken promises.
The state has been down that
path many times before. Instead,
we chose a wiser path for our state.
As we have for the previous four
sessions, we have aligned ongoing
expenses with ongoing revenue.
Not spending more that you take in
is something that has always made
sense to Iowans. You should be glad
to know your legislators are doing
that too. Who knows, maybe someday the federal government might
even pick up on the idea!
That might seem like a dream, but
what isn’t just a dream in the state of
Iowa is the fact that Republicans and
Democrats can come together and
find common ground. You might
read about our differences in the paper, but if you take the time to watch
the actions in the State Capitol you
will see something different. You
will see bipartisan work, bipartisan
friendship, and in the end, bipartisan
results.
It is that kind of bipartisan work
More help for
vulnerable Iowans
The recently completed 2015 session required compromise on important efforts to grow Iowa’s middle
class, but this year also saw bipartisan successes. In particular, the Senate approved many initiatives to help
vulnerable Iowans.
• Mental health care
Legislation improved Iowa’s
mental health and disability services
system by making more emergency
psychiatric beds available and setting up a system for medical professionals and law enforcement to track
their availability.
It will also be easier now for Iowans
to get mental health and substance
abuse treatment closer to home. This
includes keeping the mental health
institutes open in Mount Pleasant
and Clarinda to serve Iowa families
dealing with severe mental health issues.
• Medicaid oversight
The Senate created an oversight
committee to review and recommend improvements to the Governor’s plan to privatize Medicaid
services, Iowa’s public health insurance system for the frail, the ill and
those with disabilities. Legislators
will also ensure Iowans can navigate
the new system and get the help they
need in cases where medical or support services are arbitrarily denied.
• Human trafficking
Human Trafficking is the buying and selling of people, often for
sexual slavery, forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation, and it is
happening here in Iowa. New legislation will help law combat human
trafficking through public awareness efforts, special training for law
enforcement officers, and making
the crime a forcible felony with mandatory prison time.
• Safety for victims
The Senate passed legislation to
ensure victims of domestic abuse,
sexual abuse, human trafficking and
stalking are safe from their abusers
through an address confidentiality
program. The Secretary of State’s
office will establish a U.S. Post Office box for those who participate.
The Secretary of State will receive
the participant’s mail and forward it
to their P.O. Box.
These are just a few of the things
the legislature did this year to make
Iowa communities healthier, safer
places. To read about all of this
year’s successes, go to www.senate.iowa.gov/democrats/2015-highlights.

that is going to be needed to address
one of our biggest budget challenges,
the unsustainable growth of Medicaid. In my opening speech of the
legislative session, I highlighted that
over the last 10 years, the general
fund has grown at annual rate of 4.1
percent while Medicaid has grown at
11.7 percent. This year isn’t any better. We are spending an additional
$151 million on Medicaid with this
year’s budget.
Medicaid is on a collision course
with other priorities like education,
workforce training, and a competitive tax climate.
Thankfully, this year we have
taken steps to begin changing
course. The Medicaid asset verification system will help ensure benefits are going to those intended. The
new managed care system will help
deliver services more efficiently.
However, more reforms are needed.
We can do a better job of reviewing
eligibility of applicants to reduce
fraud; we should review and revise
our waivers to focus our efforts; and
most importantly, we must push for
meaningful reforms and flexibility
from our federal government.
Throughout the interim we will
continue to work on solutions that
are good for Iowans. Please do not
hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments. I can be reached

It could have been me.
This Sunday, to kick off this
year’s E3, Nintendo brought back
the Nintendo World Championship
for the first time in 25 years.
Sure, if you want to be cynical,
the championship is little more than
a long advertisement for current and
upcoming games. This was to be expected considering that the original
contest back in 1990 was nothing
more than a huge advertisement for
“Super Mario Bros. 3.”
But that didn’t stop it from being
greatly entertaining, not to mention a
refreshing change from the usual esports scene.
Unlike professional e-sports, the
Nintendo World Championship is
a strictly amateur contest. There is
no prize pool, the contestants aren’t
professional players, and the games
played aren’t balanced for competitive play.
As part of the fun, none of the
contestants even knew which games
they would play from round to
round. In fact, one of the games was
a brand new title that had not been
announced yet.
Generally, the e-sports scene is
dominated by people who know their
game inside and out. The people at
the top are the ones that spend hours
perfecting their craft.
But there’s also something to be
said about a gamer that can pick up
a game that nobody has ever played
before and just go with it, and those
were the kind of gamers that made it
to the championship.
Well, half of them at least. Of the
16 contestants, eight were invited
guests made up notable speed runners and YouTube personalities. The
other eight contests were just regular
gamers, selected from an open preliminary round that was held at Best
Buy locations across the nation.
I tried to convince my roommates
to drive up to Minneapolis to give

it a go, just for the fun of it. At the
very least, it would have made for
a fun road trip. Unfortunately, they
showed little interest in the adventure and I didn’t feel like making the
trip alone.
The odds of that any of us would
have qualified for the contest were
slim, but not unreasonable. A childhood, and adulthood, of gaming have
left the mechanics of “Super Mario
Bros” are hardwired into muscle
memory. With a little practice, who
knows what could have happened
had we tried.
Thankfully, Iowa did not go without representation. Among the eight
players that earned their way to the
big stage was Timothy H, otherwise known as “Timzy,” from West
Union.
Timzy did us proud at first, surviving the first round by winning a
game of “Splatoon.” Unfortunately, he was knocked out of the main
competition after a 1-3 loss in “Blast
Ball” and eliminated entirely when
he narrowly lost a speed-run contest
of “Super Metroid.”
I’m not saying I would have
done better in Timzy’s shoes, but I
will say that one of my roommates
would have annihilated that “Super
Metroid” round without breaking a
sweat.
The disappointing loss of Timzy
aside, the contest was still enjoyable
to watch. Particularly the final round,
where John Numbers, an otherwise
ordinary gamer from New York,
dominated a series of crazy Super
Mario levels to win the championship.
Not bad for a guy who made it
to the contest by being really good
at “NES Remix” and having time to
stop at a Best Buy.
Maybe next year I’ll give it a try.

$170,000 from the project, Sukup
Manufacturing’s donation, and other
cost savings from energy rebates
and drawing from the project’s contingency fund, it appears that the
school will be able to complete the
project as intended while staying under budget.
“I think it’s pretty amazing that
we can sit around this table as a
board and take on a project like this
without a tax increase,” said Strike.
With a new set of numbers to
work with, the board will vote on a
bid during a special meeting next
week on Monday, June 22 at 3:00
p.m. in Rockwell.
In other business, the school
made some last minute personnel
changes before the end of the fiscal
year. The board approved the resignation of Sheffield Campus staff
nurse Nancy Brown and of Curriculum Coordinator Brian Wogen, who
will be taking a position at NIACC.
Coming into the district, the
board approved contracts for Ashley Haxton as a new pre-school instructor and Jason Grunklee as the
school’s new band teacher.
For sports, Eric Gabe will step
into the Athletic Director position
and the board approved Chris Janssen as the new varsity football and
wrestling coach.
In internal transfers, Kristen
Determan will move from middle
school language arts to kindergarten language arts while Wendy Fullerton will become the school’s new
curriculum coordinator while also
serving as literacy intervention.
Finally, the board said farewell to
Chris Rogne, who attended his last
West Fork board meeting as their
Middle School Principal. Rogne’s
replacement has been chosen and
the contract approval will be on the
agenda for next week’s meeting.

Reporting from the Cerro Gordo County Courthouse
Celebrate Father’s Day by Investing
in Your Children’s Future
Father’s Day is almost here. If you’re a father, especially one with young children, get ready to add to
your collection of homemade cards, ties, golf tees or
other such gifts designed to please you. Your greatest gift, of course, is your children — and you would
doubtlessly get great satisfaction from knowing that
you’ve provided them with financial resources that
can benefit their lives in many ways. So, why not use
this Father’s Day as a starting point for investing in
your children’s futures?
Here are a few methods for doing just that:
UGMA/UTMA — If you would like to buy and
sell securities for the benefit of a child, you may consider opening a custodial account known as either
an UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors) or UGMA
(Uniform Gifts to Minors) account. You would serve
as the custodian for this account, giving you control
of it until your child turns either 18 or 21 (depending
on your state of residence), at which point he or she
would take over ownership. Investment income from
an UGMA/UTMA account can receive favorable tax
treatment. As long as the child is under age 19 (or under age 24 and a full-time student) and does not have
earned income providing more than half of his or her
support, the first $1,050 of investment income is taxfree, and the next $1,050 will be taxed at the child’s
tax rate, which is typically 10%. Investment income
above $2,100 will be taxed at the parent’s tax rate.
Roth IRA — Even young children can contribute to
a Roth IRA, as long as they have some type of earned
income from babysitting, mowing lawns or
any other type of employment. Your children can fund a Roth IRA and choose from
several different types of investments —
stocks, bonds, government securities, and
so on — and withdrawals of contributions
are tax-free. Roth IRA earnings are also
tax-free, providing the investor is at least
59½ and has had the account for at least five
years. A Roth IRA can be used to help provide retirement income for your children,
but it also offers penalty-free withdrawals
of earnings when the money is used for a
first-time purchase of a home.
529 Plans — If you would like to give
your child the gift of education , earnings
in a 529 college savings plan accumulate
and are distributed tax free, provided they
are used for qualified higher education expenses. (529
plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may
be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10%
IRS penalty on the earnings.) Another benefit to 529
plan contributions is that they may be deductible from
your state taxes. However, 529 plans vary, so be sure
to check with your tax advisor regarding deductibility.
A 529 plan offers other benefits, too. For one thing, the
lifetime contribution limits are generous; while these
limits vary by state, some plans allow contributions
well in excess of $200,000. And a 529 plan is flexible:
If your child decides against college or vocational
school, you can transfer the unused funds to another
family member tax and penalty free.
Living and Testamentary Trusts — If you would
like to leave a financial legacy for your children, and
even their children, but still maintain some control
over when they receive the money and how they can
use it, you might consider speaking with an estateplanning attorney about establishing a trust. Some
individuals create a trust to offer long-term support
to heirs or charities after death, whether for several
decades or several generations. Before you decide on
any of these plans, consult with your tax and financial
professionals to make sure the arrangement you’ve selected is suitable for your needs.
But however you choose to help your children,
your generosity will make all the Father’s Days to
come even more meaningful for you — so consider
taking action soon.
What's important to you?
Let's talk.

“There is no more valuable partnership on campus than the one we have
with the Sukup family.”
The planners were hoping for an
overall “wow factor” with the club’s
design, said Chris Jorgensen, senior

most impactful donor-recognized
sports clubs,” he said.
Jorgensen said the Sukup family
and other Iowa businesses have been
integral to the athletic programs.

FAMILY FEATURES
T
his year, recognize dad with the gift he’s really looking forward
to receiving — a feast fit for a steak-loving king shared with
family and friends.
Fire up the grill and serve up robust, savory cuts, such as Omaha Steaks
T-bone or Rib Crown selections for your Father’s Day celebrations. The
T-bone is a thick cut to give you more bone-in strip and butter-tender Filet
Mignon for even the heartiest of appetites, while the Rib Crown is carved
from the most prized part of the Ribeye and is known for exceptional marbling, flavor and tenderness. Both cuts are grain-fed, aged to perfection and
flash-frozen to capture freshness and flavor. Omaha Steaks make the perfect gift, so you can confidently ship them directly to your favorite fellow or
grill them up for him at home.
For more steak recipes for your Father’s Day celebration, visit www.omahasteaks.com.

1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper

Using the proper
grilling technique
For exceptional steaks every time,
incorporate these tips
from Omaha Steaks
Executive Chef Karl Marsh.
1. Clean and heat your grill on
high.
2. Blot dry any moisture using a
clean paper towel, and then lightly
oil the steak before you put it on the
grill. This helps the searing process
and prevents sticking.
3. Season your food before grilling, preferably with Omaha Steaks
seasonings.
4. Sear the outside of steaks when
grilling. This really helps with the
flavor and juiciness.
5. Use tongs or a spatula to turn
your meat on the grill. Using a fork
can damage and dry out the meat.
6. Cover your grill as much as
possible during the grilling process.
This helps to lock in the grilled flavor and will help prevent flare-ups.
7. Keep a spray bottle with water
handy to douse any unexpected
flare-ups.
8. Use the 60/40 grilling method.
Grill for 60 percent of the time on
the first side, then grill 40 percent
of the time after you turn over the
food. This will give you an evenly
cooked product.
9. Place your cooked product on
a clean plate. Never place cooked
product on the plate you used to
transport the raw product to the
grill without thoroughly washing it
first.
10. Allow your steaks to “rest” for
5 minutes between cooking and
eating. This will help retain moisture when you cut into them.

West Fork falls to
No. 2 Clear Lake
CLEAR LAKE – Coach Lance
Thompson’s Warhawks played good
baseball, but Class 2A No. 2 Clear
Lake gave a clear indication on why
it is ranked in an eventual 4-0 win
over the Warhawks.
Christian Ames gave up only five
hits, but walked six and gave up the
only runs of the game in the second
and third innings, just enough for the
Lions (9-2) to walk away with the
win.
The Warhawks out-hit Clear
Lake, 9-0, but couldn’t bunch anything together as Lions starter Jacob
Peterson yielded no walks and struck
out three.
Making the most damage against
Ames and West Fork was Clear Lake
lead-off hitter Cooper Merrill, who
hit 2-for-4 and drove in two runs.
The loss drops the Warhawks to
2-7 overall, their fifth straight loss
with three of the last four games
coming by one run.

Warhawks
blanked by IF-A
IOWA FALLS – West Fork’s softball team lost its second game in a
row on Tuesday, June 9 at Iowa Falls,
7-0.
A night after dropping a game at
St. Ansgar, the Warhawks turned
around and fell in the non-conference tilt.
This came a night after the Cadets were frustrated at Hampton in
a 9-0 loss.
Coach Kaci Larson’s team managed only five hits – none for extra
bases – and the IF-A batters went for
11 hits against starter Ahna Larson,
who struck out two and walked one.
Most of the damage done was in
the opening inning when the Cadets
came through with six of their seven
runs.
West Fork fell to 6-3 overall.
