Auxiliary Halloween winners, upcoming events Article submitted by Janelle Nuehring The Auxiliary of the American Legion Gallagher Post #208 from Rockwell co-sponsored a spooktactular event on October 27, at the Rockwell Community Nursing Home. This was the third year the two groups combined to provide fun for all ages.

Levy The Great, a well-known local entertainer presented his magical illusions for the crowd of all ages to enjoy. Nearly 50 youngsters then divided into age brackets and paraded for the residents. At that point, three local community members, Sue Adams, Carolyn Nuehring and Ranae Gossweiler, found it very difficult to choose a winner for three categories per age group. All contestants were awarded a participation medal and Halloween candy treat.

Soon after, the residents passed out goodies as the children showed off their costumes. Winners received a two dollar bill in each category.

For age group one to two-year-olds: Most Halloween, Morgan Otten. Most Comical, Jaxxen Hitzhusen.

Swaledale boy killed in grain truck accident

By Nick Pedley Area residents are mourning the death of a young boy following a grain truck accident Nov. 1 near the Five Star Co-Op on Main Street in Swaledale.

Devlin Obregon, 7, was playing alongside the road with friends around 6:43 p.m. when the accident occurred. According to a preliminary investigation by the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office, Obregon and other children were running alongside grain trucks and attempting to get them to honk their horns as they pulled into the elevator. Cerro Gordo County Sheriff Kevin Pals said Obregon apparently got too close to a truck driven by Robert Quinlan, 37, of Rockwell, and was hit when Quinlan turned into the elevator from the north.

The investigation is ongoing, but Pals said it appears Obregon was running in Quinlan’s blind spot and wasn’t visible to him when he made the turn. “Everyone’s going to want answers about why this sevenyear-old in Swaledale died after getting hit by a grain truck,�

Pals said. “But that’s why they call them accidents. It’s just a

terrible situation to even be in.�

The Rockwell-Swaledale EMTs, Swaledale Fire Department, Mercy Air Life, Iowa State Patrol and Mason City Fire Medics assisted the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office at the scene. A release from the sheriff’s office said Obregon was transported to Mercy Medical Center North Iowa where he was later pronounced dead.

Pals said the Iowa State Patrol is assisting with the accident investigation. However, he said criminal charges against Quinlan were unlikely. “We don’t expect any at this point,� Pals said on Monday. “Our preliminary investigation at the scene didn’t give us any reason to think there will be any later, either.�

Rockwell-Swaledale EMT Service Director Adam Wedmore was unable to comment on the accident, but said it was a difficult call for the local group to receive “When something like this happens in a small town, it’s tough,� he said.

Pals said the accident was tragic, and something he hasn’t experienced during his career in

Obregon was a second grader at West Fork. The district didn’t have classes on Monday due to a scheduled faculty development day, but Superintendent Darrin Strike said workers from the AEA 267 Crisis Response Team were on hand to help faculty and district patrons cope with the tragedy. He said a note was sent out welcoming both students and parents to the use the AEA’s services if they needed help.

Strike said the district was thankful for the team’s assistance.

He explained the agency helps people work through grief, and said they planned on being there to assist students and faculty when classes resumed Tuesday. “Our district has been saddened by this event. I’ve observed a lot of people supporting one another,� said Strike. “It’s something that’s never happened in my seven years here. It’s one of those things that once it happens, it’s one too many.�

Funeral services for Obregon were held on Wednesday at Faith Baptist Church in Mason City.

Memorials may be directed to the Devlin Obregon Memorial Fund.

By Nick Pedley Rockwell’s very own Pig Skin BBQ came home with yet another monumental victory Oct. 26 in Lynchburg, Tenn., adding to their already stellar barbecue rÊsumÊ.

The team – comprised of

Scott and Katy Nelson and their five children – won first place in the Winner’s Circle at the 25th Annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue. The event is one of competetive barbecuing’s most prestigious contests and draws cooks

By Nick Pedley “Table� proved to be the buzzword of choice Monday night in Thornton, as the city council was unable to come to a consensus on a long list of old business that topped the agenda.

Lauren Moore and her mother, Bev, met with the council for the second month in a row to give a progress update on a project at the old school yard. Lauren is working towards her Silver Award in Girl Scouts and wants to build a bus shelter there as part of her community service project. However, she’s hit a minor snag.

Bev was informed by Girl Scout officials that Lauren can’t solicit donations for the project due to certain restrictions. She can, however, ask for donations of materials for things like wood, nails and other construction items.

Confounding the issue is the type of structure she wants to build. It’s a gazebo-like building that comes from Menards in pieces, which would make it somewhat difficult for people to donate materials because they’re already pre-packaged.

Bev described yet another quirk of the whole fundraising process. Though Lauren can’t ask for monetary donations, people can choose to give them voluntarily. “Somebody can come up and say, ‘Here’s $50 for your project,� but we cannot ask for that,� explained Bev. “They don’t care where the money comes from, just as long as Lauren isn’t asking.�

The council wondered if a local community betterment group could help out with the project’s cost. Council Member Barry Groh suggested investigating whether or not Mission Thornton or the Lions Club could assist with funding. Bev and Lauren were somewhat unsure about the exact restrictions, and they said they’d find out more and get back to the council as the project progresses.

“I’m a little frustrated with the Girls Scouts right now, but we’ll work it out,� said Bev. The council shifted their attention to old business after the shelter update from the Moores. Water drainage issues, quotes for a new city lawn mower and Main Street sidewalk issues all highlighted the agenda, but no action was taken on any of them.

Public Works Director Tom Janeka reported at the council’s October meeting that portions of the sidewalk on the north side of Main Street had mysteriously raised up in certain spots over the past year. The bumps range from half an inch to two inches in height, and there’s been at least one instance of somebody tripping.

The council agreed to send letters to the sidewalks’ owners last month, but they strayed away from that method after a special meeting with legal council. The proposed letters said the city would fix the sidewalks at the expense of the property owners if they chose not to do so; however, they were never sent because the council felt it was too harsh and unfriendly.

The council’s opinion about the sidewalks shifted somewhat.

They felt it was too late into the fall season to fix them before winter hits, but they agreed something needed to be done eventually. The issue was tabled until spring when they will discuss the possibility of repairs and complete replacement.

Other business Recycling dates for November were set. Paper will be picked up on Thursday, the 14th, and plastics will be picked up along with trash on Tuesday, the 26th.

The council will meet next on Monday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. The group agreed to change their meeting date to a week later because Mayor Joy Baker will be out of town on Dec. 2.

BBQ from page 1 the elite group, if not a little intimidating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jack is already the only true world championship in competitive barbecuing, because teams from all over the world come,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only one other team in The Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history had one back-to-back championships like this. To come out on top against the best-of-the-best of all them is just incredible.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely anyone would challenge Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims. According to Jill Meyer, public relations consultant for Jack Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, contestants must meet a long list of criteria before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re invited to compete in The Jack.

Teams must win a state championship with at least 25 teams or a competition of 50 teams, or win one of the premiere barbecue competitions that qualify a team for an automatic berth. Each team competed in seven categories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pork ribs, pork shoulder/butts, beef brisket, chicken, dessert, cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice and Jack Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sauce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a big win for them,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said.

Pigskin BBQ is a member of the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) and competes in many sanctioned cook-offs across America.

Nelson said categories at each contest are usually the same, which allows for a more controlled environment at the KCBS events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standardized â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of barbecue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking.â&#x20AC;?

Though Pig Skin BBQ has been on the competitive barbecue circuit for just over five years, their recent success is no fluke. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for smoking meat began when his father, Steve, introduced him to the hobby years ago. The duo has competed together and against one another in the past, but Nelson said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had fun no matter what.

Food banks have been used heavily by people now and during the Great Depression. North Central Iowa was hit hard and is still in the process of recovery from plant closings and loss of jobs.

The State Legislature last session gave monies to the food banks across the state and it has given Food Banks a chance to do the work at hand.

We have even heard of a food bank turning people away.

Senator Dennis Guth has recently stated that giving state monies to food banks is wrong, and that people in need, need to grow a garden. He has a study that we need to follow.

A garden is a great idea. But it takes time to grow a garden and people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan on being short of food.

Senator Guth can hand someone a hoe and tell them to plant a garden when they are hungry. Senator Guthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is just not in touch with the real world. Also gardens in the winter-time just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work.

Kevin Pearson Meservey, Iowa

While everyone else was getting spooked by last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween festivities, I was forced to face my own terrifying reality more than four years in the making.

The repayment period for my college student loans began.

I knew it was coming. After all, those loans were the only reason I was able to graduate last May. But I still liked living in a cloud of selfinflicted ignorance over these past few months. My bank account stayed relatively comfortable, as rent, groceries and utilities were my only true financial obligations.

Nonetheless, here I sit reluctantly staring at a large hole of debt thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slowly growing bigger as interest accumulates. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite an intimidating scene. I never thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d owe such a huge sum of money, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve realized Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m much more lucky than most of my friends. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay out-of-state tuition, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to take any extra semesters of class, and I was fortunate enough to find employment immediately after graduation.

Things could definitely be worse.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no doubt facing a drawn out struggle with loans for the foreseeable future, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reality Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to accept. However, my plight is but one example of a larger issue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become the norm here in Iowa and across the nation. Student loan debt and the increasing cost of a college education have shackled Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger generation for the decades to come.

The numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie. According to various studies and government statistics, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective

3HGOH\¡V 3RQGHULQJV Nick Pedley is the regional news editor and a reporter for the Hampton Chronicle, The Sheffield Press, and Pioneer Enterprise.

student loan debt has surpassed $1 trillion; the average student finishes college with a cloud of $26,500 of debt hanging over their head; and 41 percent of graduates work jobs that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even require a four-year degree after they receive their diplomas.

This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly correlate with what my guidance counselors were telling my as I shopped for colleges five years ago in high school.

They were constantly giving my fellow classmates and I the timehonored lecture that a college degree was the all-powerful key to future success. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall them delving too deeply in to the financial side of things, other than reminding us to fill out our federal loan applications so we could actually pay for our classes.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not bitter about all this debt, however. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I went to college and experienced a world outside of my small hometown in northwest Iowa. I met new people, learned about different subjects and experienced things I never could have if I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone. They say a college education is an investment for the future, and I guess I bought into that adage both figuratively and literally.

Even so, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important high schoolers start looking more closely at whether or not college is the right fit after they graduate. Quite

a few people I met during my time at the University of Iowa dropped out one or two years after they started.

Their reasons were many, but most quit because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what they wanted to do, and they were racking up quite a large bill trying to figure it out.

There are many alternatives out there for students besides blindly jumping into college on a wing and a prayer. Our state has an excellent network of community colleges that allow people to test the waters and earn credit at much lower cost than a four-year institution. The college experience is great, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costing more and more each year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important students investigate all their options before they sign on to such an expensive contract.

I suppose all of this analysis is somewhat hypocritical. I had my sights set on Iowa since I was a kid and probably would have gone there no matter what. It was a great four years and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy I did it. However, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think I would have thought twice if I had really looked long and hard at the mountain of cash it was going to cost me.

I know now, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be paying for it for quite some time.

Oh, how ignorance was bliss.

Warhawk cheerleaders narrowly miss out on trophy at state competition

By Nick Pedley The West Fork cheerleading squad turned in a sixth place performance at the Iowa Cheerleading Championships Saturday, just missing the top five and a chance to bring home some hardware. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the girls were a little disappointed. To know they were really close to being in the top five was kind of a bummer for them,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Amanda Dannen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they did good.â&#x20AC;?

Eighteen teams comprised the Class 2A bracket with West Fork at the event, which was held at the state fair grounds in Des Moines. Though the girls might have been disappointed by their sixth place overall finish, the day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without its highlights.

West Forkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-person stunt team won fifth place honors in the stunting

contest against a list of great competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the first time we did that, and they did very well,â&#x20AC;? Dannen said.

The stunt team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; comprised of Taylor Logan, Lea Johnson, Jacee Arbegast, Siera Jeffrey and Allison Novothey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was given one minute to do their routine with music. Dannen said the group had to do as many elite stunts as they could in that amount of time to the best of their ability. The girls were judged on their dance and motion, jumping and tumbling, and stunting and partnership.

Dannen said the girls worked hard over the past two months to get the routine down just right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You kind of stay with what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good at and figure it out during the football season, then stick

those in the routine for state,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This was the second year Dannen brought her team to the state competition. Last year, the Warhawks placed third. Dannen explained that no qualifying events are held prior to the Des Moines competition, but coaches must be members of the Iowa Cheerleading Coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association for their teams to be eligible.

According to Dannen, the state meet has seen a surge in interest recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely growing. Just a few teams from north Iowa went when I was in high school, but this year they had four from the Corn Bowl Conference alone,â&#x20AC;? she said.

As interest in cheerleading grows statewide, so too does the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity at West Fork. Dannen said

around 25 girls tried out in the spring for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-member team. The state meet was the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second competition this fall and they plan on going to another one in Johnston this weekend.

Dannen said the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; desire to compete led her to sign them up for more meets over the past two years.

She brought the team to the state meet in 2011 to see if it was something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do, and the girls jumped on board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the girls that wanted to do it, and I think they really enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? said Dannen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more interest with the competition, as well.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a little bit more interest that comes with the challenge and recognition of competition.â&#x20AC;?

I think the girls were a little disappointed.

To know they were really close to being in the top five was kind of a bummer for them. But they did good.

What are the Warhawks Doing Next Week?

021'$< 1RY %5($.)$67

By Kristi Nixon FORT DODGE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With a big grin while clutching the Class 1A state runner-up trophy for photo opportunities, West Fork senior Markus Wogen talked about how far heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come.

As one of two Warhawk seniors who went out on â&#x20AC;&#x153;the deck,â&#x20AC;? an honor reserved for the top three teams at the state cross country meet at Fort Dodge, it was a different experience for Wogen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice having it,â&#x20AC;? Wogen said, admiring the hardware. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely been fun working hard with everybody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really nice because there were a lot of people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really used to running against this many people and having this many people watching us when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running, so that is definitely different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been a nice feeling.â&#x20AC;?

The Warhawks were second only to Denver, the top-ranked team heading into the meet, 89-119.

Fellow Warhawk senior Colton Rowe, who was the fourth finisher for West Fork in 18 minutes, 17.2 seconds, said it was great to end on this note. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just awesome,â&#x20AC;? Rowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole time that was our goal to make it top three and then we ended up getting second. It was everything we hoped for.â&#x20AC;?

The Warhawks were led once again by junior Peyton Twedt, who crossed the finish line second individually. He had a battle going with eventual champion senior Kyle Kehoe of Denver until the final stretch.

He came across the line in 16:37, a new personal best, but 20 seconds behind the champion.

Up until a half mile to go, Twedt led the race with Kehoe on his heels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were going side-by-side and then Kehoe kicked it and I tried staying with him, and then right at the turn, I was out,â&#x20AC;? Twedt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough and he just kept going and he finished it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be happyâ&#x20AC;Śsecond, you want to winâ&#x20AC;Śand Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m upset I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t; but I got second and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m runner-up.â&#x20AC;?

Twedt, who finished 12th a year ago, had multi-colored hair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something he and his teammates agreed to do before the statequalifying meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had the team sign a contract that if we made it to state weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to do something with our hair and we all did something,â&#x20AC;? Twedt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just kind of went crazy with the color in it.â&#x20AC;?

For Rowe, he bleached his hair and had the letters â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;WFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emblazoned in the back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually had to sign a contract

to run at districts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to agree to bleach our hair if we made it down here and everybody did it,â&#x20AC;? Rowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a fun team-building event that we did.â&#x20AC;?

Freshman Jacob Hansen finished 10th to medal in 16:55.7, the only freshman boy to earn a medal in all four classes.

All of the West Fork team scoring is returning except for Rowe, which will bring high hopes for the Warhawks going into next cross country season.

Coach Mark Twedt let his team know they can be happy, but not satisfied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy with how this team has done,â&#x20AC;? coach Twedt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the start of the year, there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of people who were going to pick us second and so for that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want them to be happy about today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they did a very good job, great season. We have kids who are already thinking about next year, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, maybe we can win.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the goal we have and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they need to have. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great goal. Our goal today was to win and I knew it was going to be a tall order, but that was our goal. But, Denver was better than us.â&#x20AC;?

Coach Twedt added that all year long, Denver was the top-ranked team in Class 1A and his team started

unranked and worked its way up to third before the Warhawks became the runner-up squad.

More than his own runner-up finish, Peyton Twedt was glad for the team second-place trophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the best thing of the day, to get second as a team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; get those seniors up there because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked so many years to get that and they finally did it,â&#x20AC;? said Twedt, who was third in the final rankings before the state meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can be happy that their hard work finally paid off.â&#x20AC;?

And, like his dad said, he is already thinking about next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing, work harder,â&#x20AC;? said the younger Twedt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially with what we did this year, everybody is going to be hungry to come back and do better next year. Times will drop and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work hard in the off-season.â&#x20AC;?

Rowe said he hopes the team can return next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all feeling great,â&#x20AC;? Rowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just hoping that they can come down here next year and get first and keep the legacy.â&#x20AC;?

Wogen said he never thought this would happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot different than my freshman year,â&#x20AC;? Wogen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, I never would have dreamed we would have been down here and we ended up doing it, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been just great going out like this.â&#x20AC;?
