Hampton
gears up
for two-day
party in Band
Shell Park
BY NICK PEDLEY
Summer will go out with a bang
in Hampton when the town’s annual
Summerfest celebration hits Band
Shell Park Aug. 28-29.
This year’s lineup features a long
list of attractions for the whole family. Summerfest staples like the car
show, live music and inf latables
will return in addition to a few new
crowd-pleasing events.
Summerfest is free and sponsored
by local businesses and the Greater
Franklin County Chamber of Commerce.
“We expect to have another good
one,” said Hope Polk, Chamber marketing coordinator. “It’s the weekend
before school starts, so it’ll be one
last big party of the season.”

SUPER PACS
AND MONEY FROM
BILLIONAIRES
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
Buddy Holly’s voice crooned
through a nearly empty Surf Ballroom
Friday as organizers readied the building
for the sold-out Iowa Democratic Wing Ding.
In red pants, white Converses and a blue suit
jacket covered in stars, Franklin County
Democratic chairman John Colombo bustled
through, ensuring things ran smoothly.
Hours later, around 2,000 Democrats
would flood the historic ballroom to hear from
four presidential candidates: Hillary Clinton,
Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and Lincoln
Chafee. Colombo said people were “really
jazzed” about this year’s event.
People stood, sat along walls and filled
booths and chairs as they ate their traditional
Wing Ding meal of chicken wings and awaited
the candidates’ arrival onstage.
From its beginnings as a three-county
event in 2004, the Wing Ding has gained traction. Instead of being sponsored by the Iowa
Democratic Party with money going to the
state central committee, the grassroots fundraiser’s proceeds are divided among the 23 involved counties to support local Democratic
campaigns.
“It’s always been absolutely grassroots,”
Columbo said.

Terry Juhl has spent most of his
life avoiding the spotlight, but that
will change next month during the
National Old Time Music Festival in
LeMars.
There, the Hansell man will receive the Rural Roots Music Commission’s “Patriotic CD of the Year”
award. The albu m fe at u r e s
multiple tracks
written and performed by Juhl,
who is heavily involved in
the local music
scene with his
band Two Juhls
and Gem.
Juhl
“I was totally
surprised when
I found out,” he said. “I had no idea
they had even received the CD.”
Fellow band member Dawn Groszkruger mailed a copy of Juhl’s album, “Spirit of America,” to the Rural Roots Music Commission earlier
this year. She kept the nomination
secret and patiently awaited a reply.
Eventually, Juhl informed her about
the news this spring when the band
was traveling to a gig.
“I yelled, ‘Yes! I’ve been waiting for you to tell me if you heard
back!’” Groszkruger recalled. “I
think he was little bit floored. He
had no clue I had sent it in.”

Rafael Cruz cruises into Franklin County
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
Under the open winged bald eagle that suspends from the ceiling of
Maynes Grove Lodge near Hampton, Rafael Cruz talked about freedom.
He is father of presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and
he says he and his son’s appreciation
of freedom comes with a backstory.
Guests filled the lodge to eat dinner
and listen to the pastor tell that story
Aug. 11.
It begins with Rafael Cruz’s upbringing in Cuba under the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship. His
resistance to the regime got him
captured, imprisoned and tortured,
he said, while buzz of a charismatic young leader named Fidel Castro’s promises for hope and change
spread.
“By the grace of God” Cruz got
a student visa and moved to Texas
in 1957 to work as a dishwasher. In
pursuit of the American dream he’d
come to chase, he went to college,
learned English, started a business
and was ordained as a minister.
He returned to Cuba two years
later, shocked to find that Castro had
taken over with a regime that called
the rich evil, pushed for a redistribution of wealth and attacked freedom
of the press and religion.
“I left Cuba with this realization,”
Cruz said. “To never go back, but to
be so glad to be in the land of the free
and the home of the brave.”
Cruz is passionate about freedom,
said Franklin County Republican
Party chairman Shawn Dietz.
“I lost my freedom once,” Cruz
said. “And I am not willing to lose
it again. I’ll die fighting to save this
country. And so should you.”

Once finished,

four-bin grain
facility near Rowan

bushels of storage

“Work has gone great, construction has gone great, and everything
should all be done and ready to go
by harvest time,” said Mark Walter,
NEW Cooperative grain manager.
“We’ve been pleased with progress.”
The site is located at the intersection of S-13 and Highway 3 just
inside Franklin County. NEW Cooperative announced plans to build
the four-bin facility after acquiring
the Dows and Rowan elevators last
September, and preliminary groundwork began during the winter.
The location will have 1,875,000

Changes affecting the fundraising efforts of certain student clubs
could be on the way at Hampton-Dumont High School.
According to discussion at Monday’s school board meeting, new
rules will be implemented soon
that tweak current policies regarding club fundraisers. The changes
were prompted by a complaint from
Students for Life, an anti-abortion
group that recently accused school
officials of discrimination when it
was classified as a non-curricular
related organization.
High school Principal Steve Madson has been reviewing rules and developing a draft policy since the allegation. Previous board discussion
suggested curricular-related clubs
like Character Counts and Key Club
could get reclassified under the new
rules, which would disallow them
from holding fundraisers on school
property.
Activities Director Dan Aalbers
said the new policy could affect the
amount of clubs that operate the concession stands during athletic events.
Student clubs are currently able to
run the concession stands with volunteers to generate money for their
group; however, some wouldn’t be
allowed to do so anymore if they get
reclassified as a non-curricular student club.

BAND SHELL PARK - HAMPTON, IA
BY NICK PEDLEY
The western Franklin County
skyline experienced some profound changes this summer thanks
to a multi-million dollar capital investment.
Four grain bins and other structures were erected during an extended construction period that began in
the spring. The additions are part of
NEW Cooperative’s latest expansion
project and will replace the company’s outdated elevator in Rowan.
According to company officials, the
location will provide additional offerings and improved amenities for
area farmers.

The facility will have two receiving
systems capable of handling 30,000
bushels of grain per hour, which is
an improvement on current capabilities. Customers will be able to
receive scale ticket information via
text message, download ticket information from the cooperative’s
website and grab scale ticket receipts
within reach of their tractor’s cab.
NEW Cooperative hopes the enhancements will help customers in
western Franklin County get back
in the field quickly and keep their
equipment moving during harvest.
In addition to the four grain bins, a
new office and scale will be finished
soon as well as a large agronomic
warehouse for storing seed, chemicals and liquid fertilizer. The finished site will include a large anhydrous plant and bulk storage for dry
fertilizer, making the Rowan facility
a central agronomy hub for that area.

erate added tax revenue and improve
services to farmers. She was also
happy NEW Cooperative was utilizing local businesses like Mort’s Water Company and Global Ag during
the construction process.
“It’s nice when Franklin County
companies can get in on a huge project like this,” she said. “Development in the county isn’t always about
expanding manufacturing. It’s about
growing all areas of our business
sector.”
NEW Cooperative’s move to
Franklin County was par tially
prompted by an incentive package
offered by the board of supervisors
through an Urban Renewal Area.
The county agreed to provide tax increment rebate payments to the company in a total amount not exceeding
$600,000. NEW Cooperative will
pay all of its taxes once the project
is completed, and the county will rebate back only the amount taxed on
the new construction.
NEW Cooperative is also completing improvements this summer
at its facility in Dows. According to
Walter, the company is simply updating old equipment. He said work
was expected to wrap up by harvest
season. Dows will remain a fully
functional grain and agronomy facility year round and there are no plans
to make it a seasonal location, according to a previous news release.
Juhl recorded the album in 2009
at World Famous Records in Lyons,
Neb. “Spirit of America” features
14 original songs written by Juhl,
including the album’s title track he
wrote following the Sept. 11, 2001
terrorist attacks.
“Every song I’ve written has a
message behind it,” he said. “I need
to be motivated to write something.”
Juhl’s love of music began when
he was a teen after his father bought
him an acoustic guitar. He learned to
play a few chords, but eventually put
the instrument in the closet and forgot about it.
However, that changed around 15
years ago while he was working as
a semi truck driver. Long trips and
lonesome nights gave him plenty of
time to hone his guitar skills and
song-writing abilities, which eventually transformed into a passion that
has burned strong ever since.
“I guess I didn’t like what I was
hearing on the radio,” he joked. “It’s
just kind of grown into what it is
now. I love playing.”
Juhl enjoys performing old time
country songs and gospel music
when he sings. He’s won numerous awards throughout the years at
the Wahoo Country Music Show in
Nebraska, but next month’s event in
LeMars will be the first time he’s received national recognition.
Juhl will accept his award and
perform selections from “Spirit of
America” at the 40th annual National
Old Time Music Festival on Sept. 2.
According to a news release, the seven-day event is the largest of its kind
in the upper Midwest and requires
10 stages to accommodate more than

Groszkruger wasn’t surprised,

someone to write all their own songs

Board member Chad Hanson felt
it was important to implement the
changes as soon as possible.

wears on and they want to raise money,” he said.
Madson suggested the policy
changes during a special July workshop. If adopted, a curricular club
would be defined as a group whose
mission and content of speech directly relate to the body of courses offered at the high school (i.e.
International Club). Conversely, a
non-curricular club would be defined as a group whose mission and
content of speech are not directly
related to the body of courses offered at the high school (i.e. Students for Life).
Madson also suggested establishing “activity” and “honorary” clubs.

Former Iowa Senate candidate
and current Franklin County GOP
chairman Shawn Dietz last week endorsed U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s bid for
the Republican Party’s presidential
nomination.
Dietz is highly active in Republican politics. He has been part of
the growing libertarian movement
within the state GOP, earning the endorsement of Liberty Iowa as well as
the support of many other Libertarian and conservative-leaning groups
during the 2014 campaign cycle.
“Senator Cruz has stood apart
from the Washington establishment
at every opportunity, and I have no
doubt about his willingness and ability to continue to stand in opposition
to the status quo and the disastrous
policies of the Washington Cartel,”
Dietz said in a news release.

Library wall
project put on back burner
BY NICK PEDLEY
A renovation project at the Hampton Public Library was officially
postponed last Thursday when the
city council rejected a construction
bid during its regular meeting.
The lone bid came in $84,000
higher than the original estimated
price tag. The council had originally
budgeted $106,000 for the renovation project, which will fix a bulge
and replace windows in the library’s
curved brick wall.
The council rejected the $190,000
bid on a 5-0 vote. The project will
now get rebid in January or February with hopes of completion sometime next year. Contractors typically
schedule their summer workload in
the winter, and the council is hoping
more competition will lead to cheaper proposals.
In other business, the council
unanimously approved a new contract for Police Chief Bob Schaefer.
The four-year contract takes effect on Sept. 29. Schaefer’s salary starts at $59,805 under the new
agreement and gradually increases
to $63,465 by 2019. Schaefer’s current salary is $56,805.
“I do appreciate what the city has
done for me so far and I look forward
to another four years,” he said.
According to City Manager Ron
Dunt, Schaefer’s new salary schedule is still lower than the average for
communities similar to Hampton.
The council was pleased with the police chief’s work during the past four
years and congratulated him on the
new contract.
“We certainly appreciate your
commitment to the community,”
said Mayor Brook Boehmler.
The meeting wrapped up with
discussion about ongoing graffiti
issues in Hampton. Multiple locations throughout the area have been
tagged by unsightly spray paint this
summer, but so far no leads have
surfaced in the case.
Schaefer said he was hoping a
few hints would pop up once school
starts. More than a dozen locations
have been tagged this summer with

One dies, six hurt
in I-35 crash Saturday
A Minnesota man was killed in a
two-vehicle accident on I-35 late Saturday afternoon in Franklin County.
According to a report from the
Iowa State Patrol, a 2003 Cadillac
DeVille driven by Cynthia Severson,
57, Lino Lakes, Minn., was southbound near mile marker 159 in the
main travel lane when it began to
slow due to mechanical problems.
As the vehicle slowed, a 2000 Toyota
4Runner driven by Kari Severson,
34, of Granger, struck the rear of the
Cadillac. Both vehicles entered the
west ditch.
Killed in the incident was Richard Stensland, 58, of Lino Lakes,
Minn. Also injured were Cynthia,
Robert and Mary Stensland, all of
damage estimates creeping well over
the $4,000 range. Schaefer also reported that two more locations were
hit recently.
A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and
conviction in the case. Schaefer said
graffiti cleanup has been somewhat
slow recently, and the council encouraged residents and businesses to
clean up the paint as quickly as possible if they get nailed.
“I’d sure like to get this situation
taken care of,” said Boehmler. “If
anyone has any information, we’d
appreciate it. We need to ratchet
this up.”

An Iowa
“Beacon of Light”
Senator Amanda Ragan
honored at Wing Ding
for contributions
to Democratic Party
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
A Joh n F. Ken nedy but ton
adorned the outfit of a proud kindergartener named Amanda Ragan. Unsurprisingly, a career in politics lay
in her future.
“I found it incredibly important to
get involved and make a difference,”
she said.
Ragan, who represents Franklin,
Cerro Gordo and Butler counties
in the Iowa Senate, was recognized
for that career Friday with the Iowa
Democratic Wing Ding Beacon
of Light Award. The Wing Ding
brought more than 2,000 attendees
to Clear Lake’s historic Surf Ballroom.
It was a unanimous decision for
the deciding committee to have Ragan join the ranks of Jimmy Carter,
Hillary Clinton, Tom Harkin and
other past award recipients. The
crystal trophy recognizes office
holders selected for exemplifying
the ideals of the Democratic Party.
“She is looked upon as a person who has been a firewall in the
Iowa Statehouse on the Democratic
side,” said Dean Genth, vice chair
for the Cerro Gordo County Democrats. “We felt she really exemplifies the best of the political process
and really upholds the Democratic
Party ideals.”
Accompanied by two grandchildren, Ragan accepted the award on
stage after Genth’s introduction.
She was humbled and overwhelmed
when she found out about the honor
during legislative session.
“It’s always a nice honor to have
people honor your work,” Ragan
said. “There are certainly more deserving people out there.”
Growing up in a bipartisan home
– with a Republican mom and a
Democratic dad – was her first lesson in compromise.
“I watched people who had different ideas get along in the same
house,” she said.
Carrying that into her career, she
said her actions have given her a reputation of working with people in
both political parties. She has been
able to work “across the aisle” in the
Statehouse, Genth said.
Her position has allowed her to
“stand up for justice and freedom
and all of those wonderful things,”
she said.
Reaching a bipartisan compromise on a health care bill with Iowa
Rep. Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake,
and being on a variety of committees
are among her proudest accomplishments.
She is the chairwoman of the
Health and Human Services Budget
Subcommittee, vice chairwoman of
the Human Resources Committee
and Agriculture Committee. She
is on the Appropriations, Natural
Resources and Environment, Rules
Administration and Veterans Affairs
Committees.
She is the executive director of
the Community Kitchen of North
Iowa and Mason City Meals on
Wheels.
The Wing Ding marked the 80th
anniversary of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt signing of the Social Security Act. Ragan said that act was
emblematic of American compassion, and offered people hope and
security.
“I think all people do what they
do because they believe in doing the
right thing,” she said.
Humbled as she was to receive
the award, she said recognition
comes second to seeing the results of
her impact.
“Awards are for things you’ve
done in the past,” she said. “We’re
still looking for the future.”

The free
tuition pipedream
The presidential campaign cycle brings with it many
promises. Some candidates guarantee tax cuts, while others
promise to strengthen the middle class. These assurances
need to be taken with a grain of salt, and that’s certainly true
with the latest buzz about “free” college tuition.
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley recently unveiled their
plans to reduce the student debt burden in America. The
plans are well intentioned, but it appears they’re simply too
brazen to become a reality in today’s political climate.
Clinton’s plan would cost an estimated $350 billion over
a 10-year period. According to a report in the Aug. 10 New
York Times, around $175 billion in grants would go to states
that promise students they wouldn’t have to acquire loans
to pay tuition fees at four-year public institutions. The plan
would also require states to increase funding on higher education and end budget cuts all while reducing tuition increases. Clinton would pay for the plan by capping the value
of itemized deductions rich families can take on their taxes.
Promising them free tuition for their
vote is a pretty sweet deal no matter how you
cut it. Unfortunately, campaign promises
are a dime a dozen these days.
The proposal also includes other details that allow current loan customers to restructure their debt. Restrictions
dictating what students could spend Pell Grant money on
would be loosened to cover living expenses, and AmeriCorps would also be expanded if the plan were adopted in
its entirety. However, it wouldn’t eliminate tuition costs altogether, and parents would more than likely have to take
out loans to cover some college expenses.
The proposal is a tall order, but not as tall as Sanders’
and O’Malley’s. Both candidates would like to end tuition
by significantly increasing the federal government’s role in
public education funding. Sanders’ plan alone would spend
$47 billion annually to cut tuition with the states footing the
bill for another $23 billion.
Each proposal would require sweeping reforms and bipartisan support. That would be hard to do in the Republican-held Congress, but not impossible. Both Democrats and
Republicans have shown concern over the growing student
debt problem in recent years. Americans currently have $1.2
trillion in student loan debt, and around eight million people are in default. Students typically graduate with around
$30,000 in debt in Iowa alone.
It’s clear changes are needed to curb escalating tuition
costs. However, those changes are more likely to come at the
state level than from the federal government. Budget cuts
have significantly increased tuition rates following the recession, and additional investments from state governments
could make a college degree more affordable as the economy continues to improve. Even so, it’s a two-way street. Our
public universities need to streamline services and make
cuts on their own instead of waiting for the legislature to do
it. For-profit universities have become fat on tuition and subsidies at the expense of students over the past few decades.
The myth of “free” tuition will continue to grow throughout campaign season. These plans will be hard to implement, and they could simply be another way to secure votes
from the nation’s youngest voting bloc. After all, student
debt affects that demographic most significantly. Promising
them free tuition for their vote is a pretty sweet deal no matter how you cut it.
Unfortunately, campaign promises are a dime a dozen these
days. Free tuition at public universities won’t happen anytime
soon unless states invest in the idea, not the federal government.
I write today to express my personal support for the current “NIACC First Campaign.” This public
fundraising effort is being conducted to provide necessary funds to
keep North Iowa Area Community
College in its educational leadership
position now, and far into the 21st
Century.
We are indeed blessed to have
such a wonderful school in North
Iowa. For nearly 100 years, NIACC
has provided more than 30,000 students with a quality, affordable,
transferable education. These students have become entrepreneurs,
civic leaders, and fellow citizens
who provide a myriad of services to
us each and every day.
The “NIACC First Capital Campaign” was launched after extensive
consultation with business leaders,
industry captains and education-
al professionals. Analysis of these
many inputs lead college officials to
determine critical upgrades must be
made to four areas of study:
• STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Math) facilities must
be improved so our graduates will
have access to the latest technology
and equipment used in our modern
society;
• The Health Care Equipment and
Training Facility so the students will
have to very best education to care
for all those who will be part of our
health care system, especially important as our society ages and the
technology of health continually expands and becomes more complex;
• NIACC’s Diesel Technology
program also needs to expand its
facilities to meet the increasing demands for technicians who repair
and maintain our trucks, cars, tractors, farm machinery, construction
equipment, and necessary genera-
tors, the use of which is projected to
expand in coming years; and
• The Music Arts program which
has to provide improved temperature and humidity climate control
to preserve the department’s valuable instruments, as well as replace
nine pianos which have seen decades of wear.
Four distinct and important programs which need our help to provide the best educations we can for
the next generations of students. I
urge you to respond to the campaign
as generously as you can when you
are contacted for your support. What
you do will effect more people than
you can imagine. NIACC has always
been there for us; please join me in
being there for the college now.
Thank you for all your past and
future support.

This and that
BY PAMELA WARWICK
Tom and I have both relished and
survived the marathon week of the
Warwick Family Reunion at Maynes
Grove! Since the arrival of Lars, Dora
and Ole to the United States from
Norway at the turn of the century, our
branch of Norkies has been gathering
to celebrate our relatedness.
Though this year saw our numbers down a bit, we still gathered in
love. Family members from Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida and
Missouri gathered for the two-day
feast and festival. In the process, we
celebrated Tom’s daughter, Kim’s,
notable birthday and the arrival of
Max Curtis Johansen as the newest
Warwick member, which included a
baby shower on Sunday.
Missing this year was our beloved
Aunt Thelma. The matriarch of the
family turned 101 last Sunday in Illinois. I can’t recall a time without her
loving presence at our annual family
celebration, but she grows quite weary these days. God bless Aunt Thelma and the precious ties that bind
our hearts in love.
Another notable blessing here in
Coulter is the news that Trees Forever
gifted our Coulter Betterment Committee (CBC) with a grant of $2,307!
The check was presented to Mayor
Jim Warwick by Lon Allan at last
Wednesday’s city council meeting.
Due to the diligence of Linda Allan who wrote the grant the end of
May (in a pinch, no less), our work
towards providing a forestry plan
in Coulter moves forward. And the
undying efforts of Coulter’s forester, Lon, and Sanford Morton really
comes into play now as we proceed
with the next phase of this grant –
planting!
Franklin County Conservation
previously stated they will assist
with digging holes when locations
for the 25 trees (designated for public property only) are finalized. Natural Plus from Mason City will deliver the pre-selected trees sometime
yet this fall. This exciting process is
only the beginning of a several year
plan to hedge against the impending
upcoming ash tree crisis. More information will ensue. But as for now,
please rejoice with us!
The Coulter Public Library celebrates a new look now. The new metal siding and shake and brick front is
finished! K-Van of Iowa Falls made
quick work of the project last week.
The entire project couldn’t have happened without the generous grants
from three sources this past year.
A grant for $2,500 was received
from Monsanto through the Dows
Coop. The Charitable Foundation of
ABOVE: Lon Allan, right, presented a $2,307 check to Coulter Mayor Jim
Warwick last week. The Coulter Betterment Committee was recently
notified by Trees Forever that its fall planting project was approved.
BELOW: Linda Allan showcases the kitchen area of the new hospitality
area at the Coulter Public Library, which was made possible by a grant
from the Barkema Trust Foundation. PAMELA WARWICK PHOTO
Franklin County granted the library
$3,400, and the Kinny Lindstrom
Foundation gifted $9,800. Many sincere thanks go to these magnificent
donors!
Also happening at the Coulter
Public Library, the Pieceful Comforts quilting group met in the hospitality area at the library earlier this
month. Five avid quilters brought
their passions and machines to work
on current projects. Those attending
were Marie Teggatz, Mardell Jurgens, Joanne Dohrmann, Lola Pralle and Linda Allan. They were neck
deep in great projects that day.
The beautiful and unique quilts in
progress there shall go many directions. Some will head home. Others
will end up with loved ones. One is
a baby shower gift. Another will go
towards missions projects or graduates from Trinity Lutheran, with
love from their LWML. At any rate,
these quilted projects are lovely and
deserve to be loved!
Since the library has been expanding its resources to the community, such quilting groups as Pieceful
Comforts may gather for a planned
event for a free will donation. Therefore, contact the library to arrange
for Coffee Klatches, Book Clubs,
CBC meetings or whatever you have
up your sleeve! The hospitality area
can seat up to 36 without tables, and
has nice kitchen amenities to assist
in your hospitality needs.
Plans are also in the works to have
regular services provided there by our
Franklin County Public Health program. Be watching for services that
will assist our west Franklin residents.
Be sure and congratulate board
members Mary Hildenbrand, Roxie
Thielen, Linda Allan, Melissa Paris
and Lisa Bell for their tireless efforts to the Coulter Public Library.
Remember, the City of Latimer is
a contributor to the success and resources provided to our area, and is
most deserving of kudos as well!
Finally, our “Light Up the Fu-
ture” campaign barometer is up and
registering the upcoming contributions towards our new athletic lights
to come. Once again, Lon and Linda
Allan have outdone themselves in
creating this beautiful signage posted at the Coulter Athletic Field at the
Coulter City Park.
Joint efforts between the CBC
and Le Ligua de Coulter (soccer
league) have settled on a fundraising
event to be held Saturday, Sept. 12.
That Saturday evening, both
groups will host a supper at the
Coulter Community Center. All area
folks are invited to partake in the
Chili Soup and Flaota Supper. It will
extend from 5-7 p.m. and members
from both groups will be serving.
Feel free to attend some lively soccer matches immediately before or
after attending our supper, where all
profits will go towards the “Light Up
the Future” campaign. Please stay
tuned for more information as the
date grows closer. But for now, circle
your calendars to attend!
As you can see, Coulter is bustling with activities galore. More
gains are waiting in the wings comtemplating just the right moment for
full revelation. We rejoice!
Won’t you rejoice with us as we continue with this and that about town?
During this year’s E3, SquareEnix shocked the gaming world
when they announced that after
years of speculation, hoping, and
begging from their audience, they
would be developing a remake of
“Final Fantasy VII.”
It was easily the highlight of this
year’s show, but “Final Fantasy VII”
is only second on my list of “Late
90s video games I desperately hope
get remade.”
At the top of the list is one of my
favorite games of all time, “Resident
Evil 2.”
The definitive entry in Capcom’s
survival horror franchise, “Resident Evil 2” once held a place in the
Guinness Book of World Records as
the fastest selling game of all time. It
still holds a spot in my own records
as the game I’ve replayed the most.
Over the years I’ve bought the
game three times on three different
gaming systems, and would happily
buy it again today if the PC version
was available on Steam.
I’ve long hoped for some kind of
remastering, but upscaling games
of that era to modern resolutions is
a challenge not worth the effort to
most developers. For a long time, it’s
seemed that the possibility of playing Resident Evil 2 on a modern system was nothing but a dream.
Then a couple weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabyashi made
an appearance on the Resident Evil
Facebook page of all places to ask
fans what they thought of revisiting
“Resident Evil 2” in some fashion.
Receiving positive feedback and
coming off the success of the recently remastered PC release of the
2002 “Resident Evil” remake, Hirabyashi revealed that he had dusted
off a proposal for a “Resident Evil 2”
project and presented it to his bosses.
It seems that the presentation went
well. Last week Hirabyashi returned
to the Internet for a third time, announcing that a “Resident Evil 2”
remake project had been approved.
I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, this is something I, along with pretty much
every other fan of the series, have
wanted since Capcom remade the
original “Resident Evil.”
That remake was a massive success and ever since then Resident
Evil fans have been clamoring for
Capcom to give “Resident Evil 2”
the same treatment. In the last thirteen years there hasn’t been a message board or comment section related to Resident Evil on the entire
Internet where the subject hasn’t
come up.
It is the Holy Grail of the Resident
Evil fandom.
Personally, I can’t tell you how
many times I’ve theorized about
how I’d do it if I were in charge. For
as much as I love the original game,
there are more than a few features
and mechanics it could benefit from.
Not to mention the need for a graphical overhaul. The game looked great
in 1998, but that was 1998.
But there’s the other hand, because I’m not in charge. The people
in charge of creating this highly-anticipated game are the same people
who have spent the last decade driving the “Resident Evil” franchise
firmly into the ground.
Since 2005’s “Resident Evil 4”
shifted the focus of the series from
survival and puzzles to shoot-em-up
action, each game in the franchise
has been worse than the last.
Which means there are two ways
this game could go.
It could be everything I ever
hoped for. A worthy successor to one
of the best games of all time. A faithful remake in all its survival/horror
glory.
Or it could be an abomination.
An action heavy third person shooter with more emphasis on shooting
monsters than managing your resources. Everything I’ve disliked
about the franchise for the last decade, forced on the template of my
favorite game.
Luckily or not, since it seems
that this announcement was made
literally as soon as the project was
approved, it will probably be 2016
before Capcom has anything to
show. This means plenty of time to
pointlessly speculate about whether
the game will turn out one way or
the other.
It’s going to be a long wait.

Fire damaged building removed in Hampton
BY NICK PEDLEY
A longtime Hampton restaurant
was torn down last week along Highway 3.
The former Honk ‘n’ Hollar Diner was ravaged by a fire in June that
caused extensive smoke and water
damage throughout the building.
The business was a total loss, which
led owners Steve and Lisa Sliter to
tear it down.
A constr uction crew worked
throughout the week removing the
building piece by piece. According
to Lisa Sliter, the spot where Honk
‘n’ Hollar once stood will become
a parking lot for Pakoda’s Steak
House, which she and her husband,
Steve, also own.
The Sliters have been serving
Honk ‘n’ Hollar’s menu out of Pakoda’s kitchen since the fire.
“It’s been a little bit of an uphill
climb, but we’ll just keep trying to
make the best out of the situation,”
Sliter said. “We just hope the community will continue to support us
under the new arrangement.”
The building housed multiple
restaurants and a cleaner before it
was made into the Honk ‘n’ Hollar
Diner. Workers salvaged as much
equipment as they could during the
removal process last week.

I believe that Bill Wolfe and those
who work with him on the summer
baseball program deserve a public
word of thanks. These are busy peo-
ple who volunteer hours to provide
another avenue for the growth and
development of our young men. A
year ago, I was among those expressing concern because the growth of
the program had resulted in games
and practices conflicting with youth
programs in our churches on Thursdays. Now I want to express my deep
appreciation for their cooperation
in avoiding such conflicts this season. From talking with some of the
coaches, I know it involved effort
and sacrifice; but it allowed our
young men to be equally involved in
spiritual and social growth. Thank
you, Bill, baseball committee,
coaches and assistants!
On Monday morning, Aug.
12, Evelyn and Willard Latham,
Don and Marilyn Latham with
Jeremey and Angela, and Tom
and Kathy Latham with Jason, Jill

They all flew to San Antonio, Tex.,
where they attended the annual
Soybean Convention. They returned home on Saturday.
Ray Moore of Hansell gives a
delicate hand to his young winesap
apple tree, which began bearing
fruit this summer, only a year after
he purchased it. The young tree has
six apples on it. Moore says most apple trees don’t begin producing until five to seven years after they are
planted.

crowned the queen of the Iowa State
Fair. It is the first time ever that a
Franklin County Fair Queen has
been chosen as the state fair queen.
And she was chosen from among the
largest field of contestants ever—83.
We rear some pretty darned good
kids in our county and sometimes
we forget about that. But, all we have
to do is go to our school events or the
fair and we discover it all over again.
Now the state of Iowa knows it, too.
Congratulations, Cindy!

Design committee
to discuss Alley Art in Hampton
The next Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Main
Street Design Committee meeting
will be held Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 5:30
p.m. at Center 1. Guest speaker will
be Jennifer Drinkwater from Ames
speaking on Alley Art. Jennifer is
an Adjunct Assistant Professor of
Art and Visual Culture (Painting) at
Iowa State University.
Alley Art is a program that allows
artists to create outside art murals
in alleyways. The Chamber’s Design Committee is looking at imple-
menting such a project in Hampton’s
commercial downtown district. This
would be a way to beautify normally
bland or unsightly walls. LeMars in
northwest Iowa has successfully implemented the program.
Anyone interested in learning
more about Alley Art, such as artists,
business owners, students and those
who want to make Hampton a more
attractive place, are invited to attend.
For more information, contact Jim
Davies at Jaspersen Insurance & Real
Estate or call him at (641) 425-4707.
IT’S A
BIG ONE...
LET’S HAVE
SOME FUN!
Education
for Ministry offered
Education for Ministry (EFM)
is a distance-learning program for
adult Christian formation through
theological education and reflection.
EFM is offered by the Beecken Center of the School of Theology at the
University of the South Sewanee,
Tenn.
EFM provides a four-year curriculum that develops a theologically
informed, reflective and articulate
laity who are prepared to listen for
and respond to God’s call. EFM
helps lay persons discover and exercise their varied gifts, for ministry in
the places where they live and work.
EFM is not a Bible study.
The seminar group is the nucleus
of the program. A group consists of
six to 12 participants and a trained
mentor who meet weekly over the
course of 36 weeks for four years.
These meetings are usually from
two and a half to three hours in
length. The mentor is not a teacher
but facilitates the group’s work in the
seminar.
Participants are given weekly assignments to study with the help of
resource guides and reading texts.
Reading texts offer perspectives on
the entire sweep of the Christian
tradition from the earliest period to
the present: biblical exegesis and interpretation, theology, church history, ethics, worship, spirituality and
interfaith encounter. Interlude texts
offer additional voices that focus on
specific themes.
Contact the Rev. Warren Frelund,
Deacon at St Matthew By-TheBridge Episcopal Church in Iowa
Falls, at [email protected] for information on enrollment and fees. Deacon Frelund is an accredited mentor
for EFM.

NO GIFTS PLEASE
A free Sept. 15 workshop in Grinnell will help communities identify
resources to help redevelop and revitalize areas that may have environmental contamination.
The workshop, titled Funding
Economic Development and Land
Revitalization Through Brownfields: Brownfields Redevelopment
Resources for Your Region, will take
place from 9:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m. at the
Drake Community Library, at 930
Park St.
The DNR offers the workshop to
help communities learn about brownfield properties and how to manage
successful redevelopment projects,
including securing funding.
Brownfields are properties where
reuse or redevelopment may be complicated by the presence or potential
presence of environmental contamination. These properties are often
abandoned, idled or under-used. Putting brownfield sites back into use
helps revitalize the community by
creating jobs, generating additional
tax revenue, saving municipal costs
and spurring economic development
in the area.
Participants should register by
Sept. 10 by going to www.ksutab.
org/education /workshops/. Any
questions regarding registration can
be directed to Sherree Walsh at Kansas State at [email protected] or (785)
532-6519.
A complimentary lunch is included. An additional session from
3:50-4:30 p.m. will focus on submitting applications for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s Assessment, Revolving Loan
Fund and Cleanup (ARC) grant
competition.
The workshop is recommended
for local and regional government
and economic development staff,
community members and grant
writers, real estate developers and
brokers, lenders, city and regional
planners, and anyone else interested in financial resources for community redevelopment projects.

Area health care
organizations
receive elite grant
The Health Resources and Services Administration notified Iowa
Specialty Hospitals & Clinics last
month that they were the recipients
of a Rural Network Allied Health
Training Program federal award
grant. The hospital applied for this
grant in conjunction with the Belmond-Klemme Community School
District, ABCM Corporation and
North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC).
Through this grant, WHP Career Academy will allow Belmond-Klemme High School juniors
and seniors an opportunity to explore the healthcare industry, learn
technical healthcare skills, and earn
certifications as they complete college credit course work. The primary
focus is on the training and retention
of EMTs, CNAs and paramedics.
The community-based program will
be a joint effort in partnership and
coordination between all of the participating entities.
Student college enrollment and
employment following the program
will be tracked to see if they continue in the healthcare field. The ultimate goal is to retain these individuals within the local rural community
as part of the healthcare workforce,
thereby further maintaining healthcare accessibility for residents living
in those areas.
Wright Health Partners was chosen as one of only ten recipients in
the nation for this government program. Grant funds will allow for
multiple educational instructor positions, several scholarships for students, and necessary training equipment, including text books for both
students and instructors. This three
year pilot program will extend from
2015 to 2018.

Racquet Club
organizing;
Summerfest
tennis
tournament
seeks
participants
Interested in getting some fun
exercise? Looking for others who
share your same interest in a racquet
sport? The Hampton Racquet Club is
now being organized.
The purpose of the Hampton Racquet Club is to provide opportunities
for people in the community to come
together and have fun playing sports
like tennis, pickelball and ping pong.
“My goal is to compile a list of
people and contact information.”
said organizer Jim Davies, coach of
the Hampton-Dumont high school
mens’ tennis team. “The list will be
available to other members to call
one another to set up a time to play.
Regular days and times will also be
established when anyone is welcome
to show up and play.”
Davies hopes to not only do this
with tennis, but with pickleball. The
Franklin Wellness Center just purchased pickelball equipment with a
grant from the Community Foundation of Franklin County and will
be setting up regular times to play.
Eventually, Davies would also like to
see ping pong added.
Davies is planning an upcoming
tennis tournament during the Greater Franklin County Chamber’s Summerfest celebration. Those interested should plan on coming to the
Progress Park tennis courts Saturday morning, Aug. 29. This is open
to adults and students. Matches for
men, women and coed groups will
be played.
Players will be paired up according to ability and play doubles matches. Singles matches may also be
played depending on availability of
court space. It will be a round robin
format. Tennis balls will be provided.
The start time on Aug. 29 will
be 9 a.m. and continue until noon or
later depending on how long people
want to stay. Players can come and
go as their schedule allows.
“If you can’t be there at the beginning, arrive when you can and I will
work you in,” said Davies. “This is
more of a ‘play day’ than a tournament. Spectators are welcome.”
There is no cost, but a free will
offering will be taken with money
going toward a storage shed at the
tennis courts.
Those interested in participating
at the Summerfest tennis tournament and/or being on a participant
list for tennis, pickleball or ping
pong, contact Jim Davies at (641)
425-4707 or email [email protected].
New exhibit
open at
MacNider Art
Museum
“Richard Bock: Master of the Human Form” opened on Friday, Aug.
14 in the Charles H. MacNider Art
Museum’s Center Space Gallery.
This exhibition brings treasures
from the Richard Bock Museum
in Greenville, Ill. to the Charles H.
MacNider Art Museum and tells the
story of a professional artist and his
devotion to the perfect human form.
R ichard Bock was bor n i n
the small West Prussian Town of
Schloppe on July 16, 1865. At age 4
he immigrated to the United States
with his parents and other siblings.
His father, an artisan woodcarver,
worked on many of the fixtures found
in churches in the Chicago area.
After graduation from parochial school in the eighth grade he was
apprenticed out to the woodworking
shop his father worked at. After working many odd jobs he was allowed to
learn the work of a wood carver.
During his early years he became
proficient in molding plaster casts,
which allowed him to find work with
an interior decorating firm. This
work eventually led him to connect
with the famous Frank Lloyd Wright
on a number of projects. North Iowa
residents will likely know him as the
designer of the now famous “Mercury” statues that once adorned the
First National Bank, although this is
just one of his many, many works.
“Richard Bock: Master of the
Human Form” will be on display
through Nov. 14. Sponsored by the
National Endowment for the Arts,
John K. & Luise V. Hanson Foundation, Wright on the Park and the David & Phyllis Murphy Foundation.

MidAmerican Energy
to convert streetlights to LED
Streetlights throughout Iowa will
soon become brighter, more energy efficient and environmentally
friendly thanks to a new initiative
led by MidAmerican Energy Company.
MidAmerican Energy is upgrading more than 100,000 of its streetlights in Iowa to Light Emitting
Diode (LED) units beginning this
month and continuing during the
next 10 years, a move expected to
save cities energy and money.
LED streetlights consume approximately 35 to 50 percent less
energy, depending on the type and
size, than the current High Pressure
Sodium streetlight systems. Their
long life spans also result in less
maintenance costs, fewer streetlight outages and increased reliability. Visibly, LEDs produce a bright,
white light that improves the ability
to see colors at night. They also cast
a more uniform light that is emitted
directionally rather than spilling into
the sky or nearby windows.
The conversion project will be
paid for by MidAmerican Energy,
with no cost to municipalities unless
they opt for an accelerated installation plan.
Because LEDs use less energy,
power plants generate less, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Mid A mer ican Energ y expects
approximately 32 million kilowatt-hours of electricity will be
saved annually once its 100,000plus streetlights are converted to
LEDs. This represents a reduction in
carbon dioxide emissions of approximately 22,000 tons – the same as
removing 4,681 average cars off the
street every year.
All Iowa cities in MidAmerican Energy’s service territory will
be transitioned to LED streetlights
concurrently as existing HPS streetlights fail. City-owned streetlights or
those owned by other utilities are not
part of the project.

In the fall of 1969, Bristol Motor
Speedway was reshaped and remeasured. The turns were banked
at 36 degrees and it became a
0.533-mile oval, or the “World’s Fastest Half Mile”.
Improvements continued, bringing its current seating
capacity to 160,000. The concrete racing surface is
40 feet wide with straightaways 650 feet long. “Racin’
the way it ought’a be” is the slogan that this raceway
uses because it is the shortest track with the highest
banking which makes for exciting racing. In a series
of national polls, Bristol’s August night race ranked
ahead of the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 in
Indianapolis as the overwhelming fan favorite.

From Matt Kenseth’s point of view, the competition package
NASCAR used at Michigan International Speedway could well
have had a big, bright bow on it. The Coors Light Pole-sitter
for Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
race, Kenseth quickly exhibited his mastery of the high-drag
aerodynamic package, leading 146 of 200 laps in winning for
the third time this season. It was his third win at Michigan and
the 34th time in his career. The 2003 premier series champion
had to survive a restart with 13 laps left, after Jimmie Johnson
spun off Turn 4 to cause the eighth and final caution of the race.
With a push from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin,
Kenseth cleared Kevin Harvick after the Lap 187 restart and
went on to win by 1.722 seconds.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – West Fork
junior Jacob Hansen competed in the
USA Olympic Individual Triathlon
2015 Age Group National Championships, finishing in the top 40 for
his age group.
Hansen, who has finished in the
top-10 at the state cross country meet
the previous two seasons, finished
867th out of 2,609 total competitors,
721st out of 1,428 males and was 39th
in the male age 16-19 on Saturday,
Aug. 8.
“I guess it was a pretty good experience to compete at a national
level like that,” Hansen said. “I get
used to the experience and it helps
with the upcoming cross country
season.”
He clocked an overall time of
2 hours, 23 minutes and 45.32 seconds for his swim, bike and run. The
triathlon distances were a one-mile
swim, 26.86-mile bike and 6.2-mile
(10K) run.
Hansen started out with a swim
time at 27:38.59, went on to bike in
1:13:53.44 and completed the run in
37:33.02. This is his third summer of
competing in triathlons.
The run time was faster than 33
others in his age group who finished ahead of him and was faster
than the rest in the age group field.
He was the second Iowan in his age
group to finish as Cedar Rapids’
Ian Hoover-Grinde was fifth in
2:00.37.82.
“It was definitely some good
competition,” Hansen said. “Especially in the swim, I think. That

ABCM Corporation recently announced the hiring of Dr. Samuel
Stanton, MD., as executive medical
director.
“The hiring of Dr. Stanton will allow ABCM Corporation to continue
to grow with the health care profession and remain a leader to give individuals and families in Iowa quality
solutions to long-term care,” stated
CEO Richard Allbee in a release.
Dr. Stanton views his new job as
an option to expand his career opportunities. Last year, he replaced
a former Hampton physician Dr.
David Dennis, DO, completing
rounds at the Rehabilitation Center
of Hampton and Dumont Wellness
Center. He said he developed a passion for long-term care after completing his residency.
“I was concerned that making
rounds at the care centers would pull
me away from my patients at the
clinic,” Stanton said. “Soon, however, my care center rounding days became my favorite day of the week.”
Dr. Stanton’s new duties will include risk management for ABCM
and creating relationships with medical directors in order to be more
Stanton
efficient. He is looking forward to
discovering and meeting the needs
of doctors who follow residents
in homes owned and operated by
ABCM Corporation.
“Health care is changing quickly,
and trying to provide the best possible quality care to the aging population of Iowa is a priority to ABCM
Corporation,” Allbee said. “With the
addition of electronic medical records in the health care system, Dr.
Stanton’s skills in technology will
assist ABCM Corporation to stay in
the forefront of improved communications with our residents and their
families.”
Dr. Stanton will also serve as an
advocate for senior populations with
the state and federal legislatures.
“There is a huge future in the longterm care profession,” he said. “Health
care issues and the topic of long-term
care of individuals of all ages is a concern of government officials, the public and teaching institutions.”
Dr. Stanton and his wife, Beth,
have three children: Lila Rose, 8,
Sammy, 6, and Norah, 1. In addition
to his job with ABCM, Stanton will
also teach at Broadlawns Medical
Center in Des Moines.
He will continue to provide
emergency room coverage at Franklin General Hospital in Hampton,
but will be unable to practice medicine in a 40-mile range of Franklin
General Hospital for two years due
to his current non-compete with
Mercy Hospital.

Unique
opportunity
for rural
communities
with
abandoned
buildings
Starting Aug. 10, small Iowa
communities (populations of 5,000
or less) can apply for funding to
perform asbestos inspections on neglected buildings in a special round
of funding from the DNR’s Derelict
Building Grant Program.
One area of focus for the Derelict
Building Grant Program is asbestos
inspection and removal. If a building
collapses and the presence of asbestos is unknown, it can increase the
economic burden on the community. This round of funding may be
used by eligible cities to investigate
the amount of asbestos present in a
building.
The Derelict Building Grant Program provides small communities
and rural counties financial assistance for abandoned commercial
and public structures to improve the
appearance of their streets, revitalize local economies and alleviate the
environmental concerns these buildings can pose. This is a one-time opportunity; projects selected may apply for funding in 2016 for additional
program-related tasks.
For more information and application details, go to www.iowadnr.

from Vermont, then took the stage. He
congratulated the audience for taking
part in the democratic process, and
spoke of a political revolution.
Young, diverse, working class
crowds have gathered in large
numbers at his appearances
across the country. He said they
all have reached one conclusion.
“They are saying ‘enough is
enough,’” Sanders said. “This country belongs to all of us, not just a
handful of billionaires.”
That philosophy informed his decision to reject super PACs and money from billionaires.
From his 350,000 contributions,
the average amount is $31.21, he said.
“If a business is too big to fail, it
is too big to exist,” he said. “We’ve
got to break them up.”
His detest for corporate greed
was apparent throughout the speech.
He said no one president can stand
up against corporate America, Wall
Street and super PACs alone. A
grassroots movement and political
revolution is needed to make the
economy work for the middle class,
he said.
Raising the minimum wage, ensuring pay equity and guaranteeing
12 weeks of paid family leave were
some of his proposed economic
solutions.
He listed names of recent victims
of police shootings, a trend he said
must end. He also mentioned the
disproportionate number of black
people in prisons.
His solution involves a community, not militarized approach to
policing, and providing jobs and
education.
Other topics that sparked applause were his disapproval of the
Keystone Pipeline, support of clean
energy, talk of comprehensive immigration reform and view of health
care as a right, not a privilege.
Like Clinton, he suppor ted
Obama’s nuclear deal.
Martin O’Malley, former Maryland governor and former Baltimore
mayor, had the largest group of campaign supporters chanting in the heat
outside prior to the event, but many
audience members left in the interim
between Sanders and O’Malley.
His supporters remained faithful, though, and cheered as he
discussed honoring elderly people
with his policies.
He talked about his track record
as a governor and a mayor, citing
that he invested in schools, froze
college tuition, raised the minimum
wage and banned the sale of assault
weapons.
“Whether we give our children a
future with less opportunity or more
is up to us,” he said.
He praised the generosity and
forward thinking of the nation that
allowed for his father to go to school
on the GI Bill, and then spoke of
need for economic changes.
A stronger middle class is the
cause, not the effect of economic
growth, he said.
Throughout his speech, he touted
his 15 goals. Some of the topics include making it easier to join workers’ unions, advancing the cause of
paid family leave, expanding social
security and addressing immigration.
“The enduring symbol of our
country is not the barbed wire or the
chain link fence,” he said. “It is the
Statue of Liberty.”
O’Malley wrapped up his speech
with a quote from “the great poet
laureate of the American Dream,”
Bruce Springsteen.
“Is a dream a lie, if it don’t come
true?” he quoted in reference to the
American Dream.
Lincoln Chafee, who has served
as a mayor, U.S. Senator (D-RI) and
Rhode Island governor, took to the
podium last.
Having been on different levels
of local and national government, he
said he has the experience needed to
lead the country.
“I know what it’s like to plow the
snow [and] to pick up the trash,” he
said of being a Mayor of Warwick,
R.I., which he related to Clear Lake
or Mason City.
Chafee touted his executive record of getting gay marriage approved in his state and protecting a
woman’s right to chose.
“If you have a tolerant society,
your economy is going to prosper,”
he said.
Like the other candidates, Chafee
said he supported Obama’s nuclear
deal, and called it a path to peace in
the region.
“Let’s run hard on ending the
wars and bringing the money back
home,” Chafee said.

Who killed Leota Camp?
48 years later, and still no answer
MIKE KILEN
Des Moines Register
[email protected]
It was a typical summer day in
1967. Leota Camp kissed a goodbye
to her husband, Ray, as he went off
to his job at the Iowa Employment
Security Commission.
Like the many other stay-at-home
mothers in the working-class Des
Moines neighborhood on Fleming
Avenue, a block east of Lower Beaver
Road, she had housework to do and
children to supervise.
Brenda, 3, and Kevin, 4, played in
the back yard as Camp hung laundry
on the line, leaving to check on her
3-month-old, Kristine, inside.
It was getting close to noon. Brenda and Kevin grew hungry and went
inside to ask their mother for lunch.
What they found was a horror —
one that 48 years later, still has no
answers.
Their mother, Leota, was in the
front bedroom, lying face down on
the bed, her hands tied behind her
back and legs tied togeth-
er at the ankles with men’s neckties,
while another was used as a gag. A
knife protruded from her bloodied
back.
“My brother pulled the knife out
of her back,” said Brenda (Camp)
Conklin, who today lives in West
Des Moines.
They ran, screaming, to the neighbor, Mary Groe. “Mommy’s bleeding,” Kevin yelled. Groe soon saw
Camp on the bed and rushed out
to get another neighbor, Nelle Edwards. The two women found Leota
still moaning, with four stab wounds
an inch apart down her spinal column, according to Des Moines Register archives. They called the police.
Little Kristine lay in the next room
on a white blanket, nursing on a bottle, unharmed.
Chuck Groe was summoned by
his wife to notify Ray Camp at work.
“He didn’t want to tell me, “ Camp
said. “He told me there had been an
accident with Leota, and I should go
to Broadlawns.”
Despite emergency responders’
attempts to revive her during the
short ride to Broadlawns Polk
County Public Hospital, Leota
Camp, 25, had already died.
No apparent motive
A neighbor told police of seeing
a man in his 20s, about 5-foot-9
with a stocky build and wearing a
white-and-brown plaid shirt and
blue jeans, driving a black Ford
Mustang to the street before walking in the direction of the Camps’
home, according to the Des Moines
Police Department’s report.
It was a shocking crime in broad
daylight. In the months that followed, mothers in the neighborhood walked with their heads down,
looking for missed evidence, while
children frantically ran inside their
homes when they saw any Mustang
drive down the street.
Detectives in 1967 told the Register that they were “digging hard
and fast,” but there didn’t appear to
be a motive. Camp wasn’t sexually
assaulted, and nothing was missing
from the home.
Police would never find the man.
The case went cold.
Sgt. Jason Halifax, a Des Moines
police spokesman, said detectives
most familiar with the case are retired or dead, although the department looked into a tip as recently as
2008.
The memory of the murder hasn’t
gone cold for neighbors or the family.
Decades of questions, pain
Conklin remembers sitting on her
father’s lap, hearing the news of her
mother’s death and the numbness
she felt at the funeral. Her father offered a reward and, for four years,
consulted with police on any new
developments. Finally, the family
moved on and rarely talked about it.
“I was angry for a long time, and
then maybe drank more than I
should. Then I figured out that
wasn’t going to do anything for me
“It certainly would have been nice to know my mother,” said
Brenda Camp at her home in West Des Moines on Tuesday, July
7, 2015. Brenda’s mother, Leota Camp was stabbed to death
in the family’s home while her children, including Brenda, were
outside playing on July 10, 1967. “I’d like to know who did it,”
Camp added, “It’s always been this mystery of what happened.”

From Seed to Snack
Popcorn, like all six types of corn, is
a cereal grain. It resembles corn on the
cob in appearance and cultivation, but
only pop-corn kernels have the ability
to pop. Most of the
world’s popcorn is
grown in the central
United States.
Popcorn is usually harvested with
a combine, which
strips the ear from
the stalk and shells the kernels from
the cob. The kernels are then loaded
into a truck and transported to a storage bin for drying. Then, after cleaning and sorting, kernels are packaged
for
distribution,
allowing
Americans to consume
more than 16 billion
quarts of popped
popcorn each year.

Construction Requirements of Contractors. Said
Resolution reads as follows:
REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION
OVER, ACROSS, OR BENEATH ESTABLISHED FRANKLIN COUNTY DRAINAGE DISTRICTS AND ESTABLISHED MULTI-COUNTY
DISTRICTS
All permits approved for the construction of
any improvements over, across, or beneath any
Franklin County Drainage district Facility (i.e. –
tile or open ditch) shall incorporate and be subject to the following Requirements.
NO CONSTRUCTION IS TO COMMENCE ON
ANY PORTION OF THE PROJECT WITHIN
FRANKLIN COUNTY WITHOUT A WRITTEN
APPROVAL OF THE ROUTE FROM THE
COUNTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE.
The Applicant agrees to give the County
twenty-four (24) hours’ notice of its intention to
commence construction activities on any lands
within the jurisdiction of the County. Said notice
shall be made in writing to the designated Drainage Engineer. Notice cannot be given until the
approval of the construction project has been
issued by the County Drainage Engineer and/
or Supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors shall appoint a licensed engineer as its representative to inspect
and approve all construction by Applicant that
impacts County drainage facilities. All reasonable compensation, wages, mileage and other
legitimate expenses for this representative will
be paid by the Applicant. Said representative
will pre-locate public drainage facilities, private
drainage facilities where possible, inspect all
crossings of public drainage facilities and shall
have the authority to require the Applicant to
excavate and expose the crossing of any County drainage facilities where the representative
believe it prudent to visually examine same.
Further, said representative has the authority
to suspend construction by written order to the
Contractor at the site and to Applicant, or it’s
designated representative.
The County shall provide Applicant access to
maps or other information regarding the location of all known County drainage facilities, so
that reasonable care may be taken by Applicant
to avoid un-necessary damage to said County
drainage facilities.
Prior to commencement, the Applicant shall
furnish the County, or its representative, ¿nal
plans showing the exact location of the proposed improvement and construction activities.
If in the viewing of such plans it is determined
by the County that such locations are in conÀict
with present or proposed Drainage District facilities, the Applicant will be requested to propose
an alternate route for its project; or otherwise
ameliorate any possible conÀict.
Drainage Facility crossings shall be constructed by Applicant as follows, in consultation with
County Drainage Engineer representative.
CROSSING OF OPEN DITCHES
The Applicant’s improvement shall be installed
in a horizontal plane as least ¿ve feet (5’) below design grade of the drainage ditch, as established by the County’s designated Drainage
Engineer.
The above depth is to extend to a point two (2)
times the design base width of the ditch either
side of the centerline of the drainage ditch, unless the existing base width is greater than the
design base width. If the existing base width is
greater than the design width, the depth is to extend to a point two (2) times the existing width.
The rate of slope for transition from normal installation laying depth to crossings of drainage
ditches shall not be steeper than 4:1.
If such ditch crossings occur at points of outlets for Drainage District or private tile lines,
or within twenty-¿ve (25’) of said outlets, such
outlet facilities must be relocated to a point no
less than twenty-¿ve (25’) from such crossings.
Such relocations shall be at the expense of the
applicant and as directed by the representative
of the Drainage district.
CROSSINGS OF DRAINAGE DISTRICT TILE
LINES
All proposed improvements must be placed
under existing Drainage District tile lines. These
requirements may be waived only upon the review by and approval of the designated Drainage Engineer.
A minimum of one foot (1’) clearance below existing Drainage District tiles must be maintained.
At all crossings of Drainage District tile lines by
the proposed improvement, one of the following
must be used:
Replace the Drainage District tile with reinforced concrete pipe of the same or larger diameter than the existing tile. Concrete pipe is to
be 2,000D strength (Iowa Department of Transportation approved) with standard tongue and
groove joints. Pipe to have a minimum of three
(3) bolt-type connectors at each joint; or
Bore new installation, maintaining existing tile
in an undisturbed case.
The length of tile to be replaced by any of the
above alternates is as follows:
Eight inch (8”) tile and smaller; Six feet (6’) either side of centerline of proposed installation,
measured at right angles to the centerline of the
installation.
Ten inch (10”) tile and larger: Ten feet (10’) either side of centerline of proposed installation,
measured at right angles to the centerline of
installation.
Any Drainage district or private tile lines damaged by the construction of Applicant’s installation shall be repaired as directed by the County’s designated Drainage Engineer.
The construction of Applicant’s installation,
shall be carried on in such a manner as to not
unreasonable interfere with, nor unreasonable
interrupt the function of, any County drainage
facilities.
In the event it becomes necessary to temporarily stop the normal Àow of water in any County
drainage facility in order to allow the Applicant’s
construction and installation, the following shall
be done by the Applicant:
If the crossing involves a tile line, the replacement of tile with approved metal pipe or
concrete pipe, in the manner approved by the
County’s designated Drainage Engineer shall
be performed as rapidly as possible. If the approved method of repair is impossible and the
volume of water Àowing in the tile is suf¿cient
to create the possibility of crop loss or property
damage, the Contractor will be permitted to temporarily block the tile line to prevent the Àow of
this tile water into the pipeline, or tile line ditch.
In the event that this tile line is so temporarily
locked, the contractor will be expected to provide suf¿cient pumping equipment to pump the
impounded tile water across the construction
ditch to the undisturbed tile line. Such temporary
blockages of said Drainage District tile lines will
be removed as rapidly as possible, and any tile
repairs caused by this blockage will be immediately repaired at the Applicant’s expense.
If the crossing involves the crossing of an open
ditch that is carrying suf¿cient Àow of water to
make it necessary to place a temporary dam
across said open ditch, such temporary dams
may be constructed only upon approval from
the representative of the County’s designated
Drainage Engineer. The maximum elevation of
this impounded water shall be determined by
the designated Drainage engineer and all excess water must be allowed to Àow across the
construction ditch through either a closed metal
culvert pipe or by pumping. All temporary dam
structures are to be removed as soon as the
crossing is completed. The construction and removal of these dams to be in such manner that
the smooth and ef¿cient function of the drainage
ditch is not impaired, with all costs and damages
borne by Applicant.
The applicant shall take all reasonable precautions during construction to protect and safeguard the lives and property of the public and
adjacent property owners, and shall hold the
County harmless from any damage or losses to
the extent that may be sustained by adjacent
property owners on account of such construction
operations. A copy of a certi¿cate of insurance
naming Franklin County as an additional insured
party for the permit work (or at the County’s
option, proof of adequate self-insurance) shall
be provided to the County Auditor prior to any
installation work. The minimum limits of liability
under the insurance policy or proof of self-insurance shall be $1,000,000 per occurrence. FURTHER, APPLICANT SHALL REPLACE, REPAIR
OR REIMBURSE ALL DAMAGES TO PRIVATE
PROPERTY, OCCASIONED BY APPLICANT’S
INSTALLATION, OR SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS TO THE EXTENT
SUCH DAMAGE ARISING FROM APPLICANT’S NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
The Applicant shall hold the county harmless
from any damage that may result to any County drainage facilities because of the installation
or construction or future maintenance/repair of
the applicant’s installation and shall reimburse
the County for any legitimate expenditures that
the County may have to make in order to repair
said County facilities resulting from applicant
construction or any subsequent repair or modi¿cation thereto.
The Applicant shall at any time throughout the
duration of the construction term subsequent to
the commencement of construction, and at Applicant’s sole expense, reconstruct or replace its
installation as may be necessary to conform to
new grade or alignments resulting from maintenance or construction operations by the County
in connection with an of its drainage facilities.
The Applicant agrees to do this within forty-¿ve
(45) days of receipt of written request from the
County, or such longer time period as the County may specify, without cost to the County. Such
reconstruction or realignment of Applicant’s improvements shall be made in accordance with
and approved by the County or its representative. If the Applicant is unable to comply within the time period speci¿ed above, the County
may cause the work to be done and the Applicant shall pay the cost thereof upon receipt of a
statement of such costs.
The County shall give the Applicant at least sixty (60) days written notice of the proposed construction of new County facilities, and at least
twenty-four (24) hours written notice of emergency maintenance repairs to County drainage
facilities, that may expose, cover up or disturb
any installation belonging to Applicant, so that
Applicant may arrange to protect same. Emergency (24 hour) notice shall be given by calling
Applicant at ________________________. The
County representative shall inform all County
contractors, workers, and employees of the location of Applicant’s installations.

but not limited to, publication costs, engineering
costs, and legal services. Said costs will be paid

Requirements in all bidding speci¿cations; or if
the Construction and Installation Contract has
been let by the time the permit goes into effect,
then to provide a copy to the Contractor and to
advise it that it is subject to the terms of these
Requirements.
