Project AWARE offers civic opportunity 

for those with a taste for mud 

By Mira Schmitt-Cash 

Cleaning up a river is a 

muddy job, but for those with a 

taste for the fi ner things in life, a 

Project AWARE fl yer encourages 

you to think of it as a trip to the 

spa. 

The 10th annual Project 

AWARE, which stands for A 

Watershed Awareness River 

Expedition, is July 7-14 along the 

Iowa River. 

Lynnette Seigley with the 

Iowa Department of Natural 

Resources told the Franklin 

County Board of Supervisors 

Monday about the volunteer 

cleanup project on the northern 

parts of the Iowa River, beginning 

in the Dows and Popejoy area. 

The signup deadline is June 

22, in order to get meals ordered 

and canoes reserved. A fee 

covers catered meals. 

Volunteers are sought to 

sign up for any part of it: canoe 

trash duty, sorting trash on 

land, or simply coming out in 

the evenings to participate in 

educational programs. 

Evening educational 

programs run throughout the 

July 7-14 event. Programs are 

open to the public. 

Sunday in Popejoy, Deb 

Quade with the DNR, will speak 

about the glacial forming of 

the Iowa River, how it formed. 

Jerry Rupert with Iowa State 

University will give a program. 

Sunday night as well, on 

camping gear you’ll need. 

Water quality monitoring is 

also done daily. 

Campers will break camp in 

the morning. Gear is driven to 

the next site. 

During the day, participants 

paddle an average of 10-15 miles 

per day. They pull trash from the 

river, sort and recycle as much as 

possible. 

In Franklin County, the group 

will start by Dows and work 

down river, camping two nights 

at Popejoy before continuing to 

Iowa Falls. 

Route 

It starts with a meet and 

greet Saturday, July 7 at Popejoy 

Conservation Park with the 

Franklin County Conservation 

Board. Sunday, the trip starts 

from Vanderlip Access in Wright 

County and ends with camp 

at Popejoy Conservation Park 

(Franklin County. Monday, July 

9, the group travels from the park 

to camp at Riverbend Middle 

School in Iowa Falls (Hardin 

County); July 10, to Eagle City 

Park; July 11 to Pine Ridge Park, 

Steamboat Rock; July 12 to Daisy 

Long Memorial Park; July 13 to 

Riverview Park Campground 

(Marshalltown); July 14 to Three 

Bridges County Park (Marshall 

County). 

Importance of registration 

Registration will help 

organizers order meals and 

determine canoes needed. 

Stats 

Of some 72,000 miles of river 

in Iowa, Project AWARE covers 

about 100 miles a year. 

Last year on the Turkey 

River, 32 tons of trash, including 

big tractor tires and old scrap 

metal were removed. Because 

of the type of trash, 96 percent 

was recyclable. Ages 2-75 

participated, 429 over the whole 

week. On a given day, numbers 

neared 200. 

Folks from Iowa Falls lobbied 

on the trip last year to bring the 

project to this stretch of the Iowa 

River, Seigley said. A southern 

portion has been a focus of a 

previous Project AWARE trip. 

Over the past nine years, 

the project has enlisted 2,100 

volunteers, removed 182 tons of 

trash and recycled 65 percent of 

that. The percentage of recycled 

trash decreased after a postfl 

ood cleanup of the Cedar River 

from Mason City to Cedar Falls 

in 2008. Because of fl ooding, the 

event was delayed from June to 

August. Volunteers pulled out 47 

tons of trash that year, but due to 

fl ooding debris, the percentage 

able to be recycled was down. 

Trash art project 

The trash, which usually 

consists of metal and rubber 

tires, is pulled from the rivers is 

sorted by type of metal. 

What is locally recyclable is 

determined. 

As in years past, Ogden artist 

David Williamson will sculpt a 

fi fth and fi nal set of gates from 

among the Iowa River trash 

found. At the Iowa State Fair 

on weekends, Williamson will 

have fairgoers melt some of the 

gate material in a furnace. Rebar, 

aluminum, fence posts, and 

torch-cut tanks have composed 

previous gates.

Members of Sheffi eld EMS arrived at the Sheffi eld Swimming Pool Sunday, June 2, to assist the lifeguards in practicing procedures 

necessary for a successful water rescue of a near drowning person. All of the lifeguards were on hand to practice and learn steps in 

water rescue and basic life support measures to perform while waiting for EMS personal to arrive on the scene. 

Incumbents emerge victorious in primary election 

Incumbents emerged victorious 

from the June 5 primary election, 

as canvassed Monday morning. 

Between Republicans running 

for District 3 Supervisor, challenger 

Eric Barkema, Alexander, 

received 33 percent (164 votes); 

incumbent Corey Eberling, Sheffi 

eld, 67 percent (332). One provisional 

ballot was added to 

Eberling’s total. There were no 

Republican write-ins and 3 non- 

Republican candidate write-in 

scatterings from Democrats. 

Decimals are rounded to the 

nearest whole. 

In the Republican race for 

Franklin County Sheriff, challenger 

Ed Hanig, Sheffi eld, received 

36 percent (423); incumbent Larry 

Richtsmeier, Latimer, 64 percent 

(747). There were four Republican 

write-ins, and 18 non-Republican 

write-in scatterings from Democrats. 

For county auditor, Republican 

incumbent Michelle Giddings, 

Hampton, had 100 percent of the 

vote, when rounded (1,076). Republican 

voters offered two writeins; 

Democrats, 27 write-ins. 

In the Republican primary for 

the new U.S. House District 4, 

Steve King, Kiron, who is incumbent 

only in the western part of 

the district, had 98 percent of his 

party’s votes (959); there were 2 

percent (15) write-ins from Republicans. 

In the Democrat primary for the 

new U.S. House District 4, Christie 

Vilsack, Ames, had 99 percent 

of her party’s support (135); 1 percent 

or 2 Democrat voters wrote 

in a candidate. 

In the new State House District 

54, most of Franklin County’s previous 

representative, Linda Upmeyer, 

R-Clear Lake, won with 

99 percent (1,069). Republican 

House write-ins were 1 percent 

(8); Democrats had 11 non-Republican 

scattered write-ins. 

Consequently, King and Vilsack 

will face off for U.S. House District 

4 at the polls in November. 

Because of intricacies of the system, 

in the new Iowa Senate District 

27, which includes most of 

Franklin County, Amanda Ragan, 

D-Mason City, will not be on the 

ballot until the next gubernatorial 

election year, 2014. 

With redistricting, Franklin 

County is now counted as a 

whole. Previously the portions of 

Ackley and Dows in the county 

had been split into the same districts 

as their cities. 

Though cross-party votes don’t 

count in a primary, several Democrats 

did write in candidates from 

Republican races. 

Election commissioner Michelle 

Giddings explained, any candidate 

with 35 percent of party 

votes cast, and who is not on the 

opposing party’s ticket, can get on 

the ballot. 

Laborshed study: Education and pay don’t always match up 

According to the Franklin 

County Laborshed Analysis, 

released this spring, education and 

pay don’t always match up. 

The education industry has 

the largest percentage of postbaccalaureate 

degree-holding 

staff, followed by fi nance, 

insurance and real estate and 

public administration and 

government, while construction, 

manufacturing or farming pays 

the most and typically requires 

lower educational attainment. 

A laborshed is the region from 

which an employment center 

draws its commuting workers. 

To determine the approximate 

Franklin County Laborshed area, 

employers supplied the zip code 

listings of where each of their 

employees resides. 

The entire laborshed area 

contains some 47,000 people. 

Of these, 77.3 percent are 

employed and 7.4 percent are 

retired. This leaves 6.4 percent 

unemployed and 8.9 percent 

voluntarily not employed and not 

retired. Employment status was 

self-identifi ed. The unemployment 

percentage does not refl ect the rate 

published by the U.S. Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, which applies a 

stricter defi nition. 

Of the employed, 16.2 percent 

are working multiple jobs. Average 

hours are 37 per week. Average 

age is 50 years old. 

The top fi ve industries of the 

employed are healthcare and social 

services, 19 percent; wholesale 

and retail trade, 16 percent; 

manufacturing, 13 percent; 

education, 12 percent; agriculture, 

9 percent. 

The fi ve professions refl ecting 

the largest percentage of staff 

with an undergraduate degree 

or higher, and median salary, are 

education, 69 percent ($44,000); 

fi nance, insurance and real estate, 

56 percent ($12.28 per hour); 

professional services, 44 percent 

($35,000); public administration 

and government, 41 percent 

($45,000) and healthcare and social 

services, 29 percent ($50,000). 

The six highest-salaried 

positions and percent of staff with 

an undergrad degree or higher are 

construction, $61,000, 25 percent; 

manufacturing, $58,500, 16 percent; 

agriculture, $57,500, 12 percent (20 

percent in ag have an associate 

degree); healthcare and social 

services, public administration and 

government and education, a close 

sixth. (Salaries and educational 

attainment for last three appear in 

the previous paragraph.) 

According to Franklin County 

Development executive director 

Karen Mitchell, this indicates that 

earning potential in rural areas 

is not directly related to higher 

education. “Yet if one were to 

delve deeper, it’s the jobs requiring 

specialty education, which are 

making the most money within 

manufacturing,” Mitchell said. 

“Manufacturing has become 

highly sophisticated and those 

trades skills are learned in the 

classrooms of our community 

colleges. 

“By the same token,” Mitchell 

said, “it’s a shame that the very 

people we task to educate our 

future higher-wage earners are 

themselves not compensated as 

equitably as they could be on the 

open market.” 

Some 28 percent work in 

professional, paraprofessional and 

technical occupations followed by 

some 27 percent in production, 

construction and material 

handling occupations. 

Some 7,250 employees are 

estimated likely to change or 

accept employment. Of these, 

some 5,150 are employed, 525 

are unemployed, some 400 are 

voluntarily not employed but not 

retired and some 1,200 are retired. 

Some 9.4 percent, or 500 people, 

are estimated underemployed 

because they are at or below 

35 hours per week, at or 

below national poverty level, 

overqualifi ed for their positions 

or have taken a pay cut compared 

to previous employment. Skills 

mismatch (some 300 people) 

and inadequate hours (some 

200) were the top reasons for 

underemployment, with some 100 

qualifying as low income. 

Based around Hampton, the 

Franklin County laborshed draws 

most densely from Hampton, with 

45-732 commuters concentrated 

there, and secondarily from 

Sheffi eld, Latimer, Coulter, 

Bradford, Iowa Falls, Geneva, 

Dumont and Allison, with 17-44 

commuters residing in these areas. 

Zones with one to 16 commuters 

residing there are bounded 

by Ventura, Clear Lake and 

Mason City at the north, Greene, 

Clarksville and Parkersburg at the 

east, Steamboat Rock, Eldora and 

Alden at the south, and Clarion 

and Belmond at the west.

Carolyn Francis (Koenigsberg) 

Meints, daughter of Roy Hugo 

Daniel and Anna Johanna (Melberg) 

Koenigsberg was born March 28, 

1920 and passed away May 12, 

2012. Her girlhood years were spent 

growing up on the family farm 

southwest of Sheffi eld helping her 

parents with the farm chores. 

Carolyn was a member of the 

German Baptist Church in Sheffi eld 

and later transferred to Zion 

Reformed Church. She attended 

school through the eighth grade at Chapin Consolidated School; her father 

decided it was not necessary for her to go to high school. Carolyn spent her 

time working for some aunts helping them care for their homes and canning 

garden produce. In Carolyn’s teen years her sister married and she lived with 

them for the next four years helping out where needed. After the birth of her 

niece Marilyn, Carolyn helped take care of her. Marilyn continued to have a 

special place in her heart her entire life. 

While living with her sister, Carolyn met a young farmer named Conrad 

Edward Meints. They were married October 23, 1940 at her parent’s farm. 

Carolyn and Conrad built a life on the family farm and raised their three 

children. They moved to Sheffi eld to retire in 1972. After Con’s death she 

lived in the Sunrise Apartments, Deerfi eld Place Assisted Living and recently 

moved into the Sheffi eld Care Center. 

Carolyn loved gardening and fl owers, she had the ability to make anything 

grow and bloom, especially her African Violets. Her life was about her 

family; always putting them before herself yet not afraid to discipline. Her 

faith was an important part of her life, instilling it in her children’s lives. 

Carolyn is survived by her children: Ronald (Shirley) Meints, Larry (Donna) 

Meints, and Lois (David) Craighton, all of Sheffi eld; 14 grandchildren and 

step grandchildren; 31 great grandchildren and step great grandchildren and 

3 step great great grandchildren; two nieces and one nephew; 2 sisters-inlaw: 

Mary Meints and Darlene Meints and a host of nieces and nephews. 

She is preceded in death by her husband Conrad, her parents, sister Clara 

and her husband John Barkela; brother Ervin, granddaughter Amy Craighton 

and Con’s 3 brothers: John, Harold and Marvin Meints.

General Severe was on R & R, 

well that’s what he called it, and 

we know better it was play time in 

Minnesota with the boys. Well I was 

next in command; not according to 

the troops but then what do they 

know? I added a few new wrinkles 

into the game which challenged 

their skill level. By golly folks they 

all passed not one fl unked out, well 

maybe a couple but it is beyond my 

integrity to every divulge who it was. 

We had fi fteen soldiers of fortune all 

warmed up and ready for combat. 

They were required to check their 

ammo to make sure they had enough 

rounds to go around! The top combat 

award went to Dallas Slagle, Barney 

Dougherty and Dave Levitt. Oh I 

know you fi nd it hard to believe but 

hey they are as honest as old Abe 

was. They fi red a 101 because we 

used the eclectic format, way too 

hard to explain so I shan’t! High light 

of that group was David Levitt right 

in there, he swung so hard on a shot 

he did a 360, fell down and by golly 

ker-plunk in she went 185 yards. If 

you believe that Dave said he’s come 

and wash your windshield for free. 

Prizes went to 1 st , 2 nd and 4 th . That 

amazing 101 won them a 94” TV 

but come to fi nd out they don’t make 

them that big. Sorry boys, maybe in 

2020. 

Second place went to my platoon 

who had Duane Dorenkamp and 

Edward Siems and we fi red a 104. 

Duane introduced us to his wind 

up swing, and let me tell you folks 

his wind up is something to behold. 

He brings the club up over his head, 

spins around two times steps forward 

and swings so hard he comes out 

�� 

of shoes. Now don’t laugh I never 

exaggerate. He did hit one drive 

using that formula that went 400 

yards, oh I forgot that was his 3 rd shot, 

I just can’t remember details very 

good. We won ourselves a free shoe 

shine in the airport in Des Moines. 

The third place platoon consisted of 

Randy Peter, Jim Dorenkamp and 

Roger Madsen and they fi red a 105 

which gave them nuttin. You’d think 

with two children and a grandpa they 

could shoot a little better than that. 

The fourth place platoon was led 

by fi ve stars General Cliff Cameron, 

whoops hey someone fi bbed as there 

is not a fi ve star general. Oh well, 

whatever rank he was, probably a 

buck private, led Bob Shreck and 

Billiam Nolte to a 110. Uffda, as they 

say way up nort in Minneeesewtah, 

dat dare’s a lotta shaaats, ya betcha! 

Billiam is getting so thin he tried 

to convince us that he has to jump

Nothing really exciting to write 

about on the work front. Things 

went smoothly the whole week 

. . . a welcome change! I spent 

some time on the newer press . . 

. without any real problems. Had 

some envelopes that wanted to 

wrinkle. Changed cartons and 

that cured the problem. Right 

hand man told me that envelopes 

were like that. One box prints 

great . . . the next box not so 

great. I listened to him, but didn’t 

really think that was the problem. 

Apparently he was right . . . but 

I’m not going to let him know 

that! Other than that . . . a very 

good week. May they all be that 

way! 

Home . . . nothing newsworthy 

there, either. Just the norm. I don 

my apron, grab the dusting rag, 

then the mop, then the vacuum, 

etc., and have at it. Saturday up 

early and headed for Altoona.

seems strange not to go to the 

young ones’ old home. Play time 

with Little Lid. (I wish I had onethird 

that much energy!) Then 

off to one of my favorite places 

for lunch . . . which in my case is 

breakfast. Back to the homestead 

and more play time. Then it was 

time for the young one to take 

her nap. (Heck . . . I’m the one 

who needed a nap!) That was 

the signal for me to head out . . . 

but fi rst a stop at a local antique 

store. I fi nd it amazing how 

many things that I just threw 

away are valuable today! If only 

one knew! (I have friends who 

say I’m an antique!) But I don’t 

know how valuable I am! Down 

the road for a game of Bingo, and 

back north. Sunday work around 

the adobe, yard, garage, and an 

hour or so at the offi ce. Never left 

town. Another fi rst for a Sunday! 

Maybe I am an antique! Be good,

Nobody’s giving up on cutting 

property taxes 

Cutting property taxes is long 

overdue here in Iowa, and it would 

be a great way to create local jobs. 

Senate Democrats have taken 

the advice of Iowans, community 

leaders and business leaders from 

across the state in putting together a 

plan for cutting commercial property 

taxes. 

The Legislature does its best work 

when we avoid divisive issues and 

work together on the top priorities 

of Iowans. Iowans want property tax 

relief. That’s why I’m frustrated and 

disappointed that the House, Senate 

and Governor let the opportunity to 

pass permanent property tax reform 

slip through our fi ngers this year. 

In 2011, the Iowa Senate voted 

46-4 for $200 million annually in 

commercial property tax relief. Four 

out of fi ve commercial property tax 

payers would have received a 40 

percent tax cut under the Senate’s 

bipartisan plan—a plan that would

not shift any additional tax burden 

to homeowners. Unfortunately, our 

proposal was not taken up in the 

Iowa House. 

During the 2012 session, we 

developed a bigger, bolder plan that 

would have cut commercial property 

taxes by more than $350 million. 

In the end, Senate File 2344 was 

caught up in election-year politics. 

It didn’t garner one Republican vote, 

despite including suggestions from 

Governor Branstad and Republican 

lawmakers. 

This was a missed opportunity. 

It would have dramatically cut 

property taxes for almost every 

business and also would have cut 

taxes for working families. 

I will continue to push for a 

commercial property tax cut for 

every Iowa business—one that 

helps our small businesses the most, 

without hurting local schools and 

services. I know we can get the job 

done.

FSA seeks 

new county committee candidate 

By Mira Schmitt-Cash 

The nomination period for this 

year’s county committee election 

will be June 15 through Aug. 1, with 

elections taking place this fall. 

This year’s election is important, 

according to Franklin County Farm 

Service Agency executive director 

Steve Abbas. 

That’s because Franklin County 

Committee member AJ Schaefer has 

served his maximum of three, threeyear 

terms. The county FSA will be 

looking for someone new to represent 

the townships of Richland, Ross, 

Scott, West Fork and Wisner, known 

as Local Administrative Area 1, or 

LAA 1. 

The Franklin committee consists 

of three members whom eligible local 

producers elect to three-year terms, 

which are staggered by year. 

Typically, Franklin County’s 

eligible producers have elected men to 

the committee. 

“(Candidates) can also be women 

who are involved in farming, either 

as owners or operators. A number of 

counties in Iowa have had women 

elected to the committee system,” 

Abbas said. 

U.S. Department of Agriculture 

said in a news release the organization 

is committed to increasing the 

participation of all farmers on the FSA 

county committees, with an emphasis 

on women and minority farmers. 

Beginning farmers are also highly 

encouraged to become involved.

an error. Rick Taylor was safe on 

a fi elder’s choice. Foell doubled to 

score Taylor. Bill Taylor singled to 

score Foell then stole second. With 

two away Froning walked for two on. 

Larson laid down a nice one to the 

pitcher who fi elded and threw to fi rst 

for the out, the ball going wild for an 

error, two runs scoring and Larson 

safe at second. Levitt doubled to score 

Larson and the side was retired with an 

assist. 

Miss Nancy Ann Schumacker of 

Sheffi eld was a member of the State 

College of Iowa graduating class. She 

received a Bachelor of Arts degree 

with a Teaching Certifi cate, having a 

major in English. Miss Schumacker, a 

niece of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wearda, 

has been contracted to teach in the 

school at Cedar Falls this next year. 

George Kammrad, accompanied by 

Lee Roberts of Sanborn, Dale Lahner, 

Stephen, David, and Susan Lahner, 

of Sheffi eld, drove to Minneapolis, 

Minn., to attend the Minnesota Twins 

vs. Chicago White Sox double header 

major league ball games. They also 

visited Mr. and Mrs. Les Lahner and 

family in Minneapolis. 

June 15, 1972 

Eight Town of Sheffi eld, Clinton 

township, residents have been 

selected to serve on the petit juror 

panel in Franklin County district 

court for the months of July, August, 

and September. The 77-member list 

was selected on Thursday, June 1, 

in the offi ce of Harry W. Jorgensen, 

clerk of district court. The jurors will 

serve when called during this period 

according to a copy of the venire. 

The Sheffi eld people named are: 

Mrs. Gilbert Blood, Mary Jensen, 

Alma Koester, Mrs. Willis Meyer, 

Mrs. George Storck, Mrs. Clifford 

Thomas, Emma Timmerman, Mrs. 

Elmer Weber. Others selected from 

this area are: Richland – Mrs. Marvin 

Deam, Calvin Jurgens, Mrs. Howard 

Markwardt, Mrs. Leon Pralle. Ross – 

Leslie Beemer, Mrs. Dwain Schinagel. 

West Fork, Dwayne Mason, Mrs. 

Larry Peter. Wisner – Foster Barkema, 

To be eligible to serve on an FSA 

county committee, a person must: 

•Be of legal voting age and eligible 

to vote in a county committee election 

•Live in LAA 1 

•Participate or cooperate in a 

program administered by FSA 

“It’s best if they are actively 

involved in farming either as owners 

or operators,” Abbas said, in order to 

have someone knowledgeable about 

what’s going on in agriculture, to 

facilitate decision-making. 

If a third man is elected, an adviser 

is appointed. Currently, that’s Linda 

Krukow from Hampton. If a woman 

were elected, Krukow wouldn’t need 

to advise, according to Abbas. An 

advisor does not vote, but Abbas said 

all input is carefully considered. 

“The committee election process is 

designed to give all producers a better 

chance of having their opinions and 

ideas expressed in the community, 

throughout FSA and the nation. 

Therefore, it is vital that we have a 

diverse committee, not only in the 

physical make up of the committee, but 

making sure we have representatives 

from all forms of agriculture,” said 

John Whitaker, state FSA executive 

director. 

Decisions can be producer appeals, 

based on eligibility for farm program 

decisions; loan approval, for items such 

as grain bins or dryers; commodity 

price support; conservation programs; 

employing county executive directors; 

incentive, indemnity, and disaster

for other farm disaster assistance. 

Abbas gave an example of disaster 

assistance: If there were a drought, 

and if 4-H were in short supply, the

allow people with CRP acres to bale 

those acres.

themselves or others as candidates. 

Additionally, organizations 

representing minorities and women 

may nominate candidates. To become 

a nominee, all eligible individuals must

West Fork Boys Straighten Out 

Warhawks Win Two Conference Games 

By Jon Hapgood 

Things are fi nally starting to 

correct themselves, as the West Fork 

Boys Baseball team has won two 

Corn Bowl Conference games in a 

row, after getting off to a sluggish 

start at the beginning of the season. 

On Friday, June 8, West Fork 

defeated Nashua-Plainfi eld 7-3 in a 

conference game at Sheffi eld. 

West Fork scored four runs in 

the bottom of the fi rst inning. The 

Warhawks added two runs in the 

third, and a single run in the fourth 

inning for the win. 

Jordan Hubka pitched the win for 

West Fork, allowing seven hits, three 

runs, two of which were earned, and 

he struck out two batters. 

As a team, West Fork collected 

11 hits for the game. Markus Wogen 

continued his fi ne play for the 

Warhawks by going 3 for 4 at the 

plate with a double. 

Jordan Hubka cracked two 

homeruns and drove in two runs, as 

he went 2 for 3 at the plate. 

Spencer Halloran was 2 for 4 

with two triples, and he drove in two 

runs. 

Cody Engebretson, Austin Neff, 

Jeff Hafermann, and Ryan Smit had 

the other West Fork hits. 

On Wednesday, June 6, West 

Fork defeated Riceville 7-0 in a

Lake romped all over West Fork by 

the score of 18-0 in a non-conference 

game at Sheffi eld on Tuesday, June

game in that manner, as they gave

Coach Jordan Nelson 

Resigns At West Fork 

Warhawks Mentor Leaving For Carlisle 

By Jon Hapgood 

West Fork Head Boys 

Basketball Coach Jordan Nelson 

has resigned at the school to 

pursue other interests. 

Coach Nelson will be the 

Dean of Students and head boys’ 

basketball coach at Carlisle, a 

suburb of Des Moines. 

Coach Nelson said, “It was a 

very tough decision to leave West 

Fork, but professionally, it is the 

right move for me and my family 

in a lot of ways.” 

Nelson has had fabulous 

success with the West Fork 

Boys Basketball program in the 

past four years. He guided the 

Warhawks to the Class 2A State 

Championship in 2011. West Fork 

has also dominated the Corn Bowl 

Conference under his guidance. 

He has coached eight years at 

the school, with SCMT being the 

school for four years, before the 

naming of West Fork. 

West Fork has won 56 straight 

conference games, and the 

Warhawks are predicted on paper 

to win the conference title again in 

2012-13. 

West Fork was ranked in the 

top fi ve teams in Class 2A for the 

season just passed, before losing to 

Roland-Story 51-49 in a substate 

fi nal game at Mason City. West 

Fork fi nished with a record of 22- 

2. 

It will be a challenge for Coach 

Nelson at Carlisle, as they fi nished 

7-15 last season in Class 3A. 

Meanwhile, the cupboard is not 

bare at West Fork. The Warhawks 

have eight returning Varsity 

letterman coming back. The JV 

team had a winning record, the 

JJV (freshman) team had a good 

winning record, and the eighth 

grade team had a good winning 

record.

IF A COMPANY YOU OWN IS IN THE HEADLINES 

ASK YOURSELF IF IT SHOULD BE 

IN YOUR PORTFOLIO. 

Snap reactions to headlines aren’t usually good ways to plan 

for your future. But when a stock you own is in 

the news, you may need some advice. Should you buy additional 

shares, sell or simply maintain the status quo? 

Edward Jones can help. We spend time getting to know 

you and your financial goals so we can help you create 

and implement a strategy designed to achieve them. 

To learn our perspective on whether a particular stock 

makes sense for you, call or visit your local financial 

advisor to schedule a complimentary portfolio review.
