A fresh face will join the Hampton City Council next year thanks to
an upcoming vacancy in Ward 2.
The council accepted the resignation of current Ward 2 representative
Jim Davies during its regular meeting last Thursday. Davies plans
to move outside
the ward soon
but wanted to
remain on the
council, which
prompted him to
file for the open
At-L a rge se at
Davies
during the Nov.
3 election. He ran
unopposed and won, but must resign
from the Ward 2 post before he begins his At-Large term.
Davies was absent last Thursday
but offered a previous statement in
September after he filed nomination
papers.

Local ceremonies celebrate veterans’ service,, sacrifice
BY NICK PEDLEY
Holding back tears in front of a
packed gymnasium at Hampton-Dumont High School, Marine veteran
Tony Spradlin praised the men and
women who gave the ultimate sacrifice during times of conflict and
civil unrest.
“They didn’t go to war because
they loved fighting, they went because they wanted to be part of
something bigger than themselves,”
he said. “They rose to the call because they wanted to protect the nation which has given them, and us,
so much.”
The emotional statement was one
of many offered by Spradlin during
his Veterans Day address in Hampton last Wednesday. The combat
veteran, Air National Guard member and current H-D Middle School
principal acknowledged American
soldiers who served in the line of
duty by praising their courage and
selflessness.
Without their sacrifice, Americans would not have the freedoms
and liberties they enjoy today,
Spradlin said.
“Our gathering is just one small
spark of pride that burns across the
nation today, and every day,” he said.
“It’s not a lot, but it’s one way we can
honor those who made the ultimate
sacrifice so that we can live in freedom the way we do.”
Hampton American Legion Commander Jim Zacharias took the podium after Spradlin. The Vietnam War
veteran spoke of the sacrifice families make when a loved one enters
the military, especially during times
of war.
“They’re the ones that worry,” he
said. “They don’t know where their
sons are or what’s going on until that
letter comes – the worst letter in the
world – telling them that he’s gone.”

The Franklin County Board of
Supervisors determined the fate of
two election stalemates in Coulter
and Hansell during a special selection process last week.
Write-in candidate Mark Brown
was named the winner of Coulter’s
mayor race Nov. 9 after his name
was selected by board Chairman
Mike Nolte. Brown and incumbent
Mayor Jim Warwick tied with 16
votes apiece on Nov. 3, which forced
the supervisors to pick a winner by
writing each candidate’s name on a
piece of paper and drawing one from
a bowl.
“I think I’m passing the torch
off to a pretty good guy in Mark
Brown,” Warwick said. “I think he’ll
do a great job. I hope the town supports him like they did me.”
The supervisors also determined
the winner of a stalemate in Hansell.
Declared candidate Ben McKinney earned a spot on the city council when his name was picked over
write-in contender Jess Harlan. Both
men received nine votes Nov. 3.
The name draw is standard protocol for municipal election stalemates
and is dictated by Iowa Code. The
deadlock marked the second-straight
election Hansell had a tie for a city
council seat. In 2013, Deloris Cunningham and Jason Harper drew a
stalemate.

2016
Franklin
County Fair
BY NICK PEDLEY
One of classic rock and roll’s most
popular acts will hit the grandstand
stage this summer during the 2016
Franklin County Fair.
Fair officials announced Sunday that Foreigner will headline a
stacked lineup featuring three concerts and other exciting entertainment July 13-17. Other attractions
include the Barnes PRCA Rodeo,
stock car races and performances by
country music stars John Michael
Montgomery and Granger Smith.
Thanks to a special Black Friday
deal, fairgoers can book their tickets
at a discounted rate Nov. 27 by purchasing a Pay One Price (POP) Pass.
The $30 package includes tickets to
all three concerts plus the rodeo and
race, however, it’s the only time that
POP Passes will be discounted.

Council
eyes future
franchise
fee funds
BY NICK PEDLEY
Potential options for f ut ure
franchise fee revenue drew heated
responses from the public Nov. 9
during the Hampton City Council’s
workshop.
The critical remarks came after
discussion about road repairs and
possible budget reductions. The
council intends to use money generated from the franchise fee to address those concerns during the next
10 years, but members felt it was important to develop a structured plan
before the city starts collecting the
revenue later this year.
“We can’t keep pushing this down
the road,” said Mayor Brook Boehmler. “Just look at our streets. We have
some major issues.”

NAME DRAW
SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE
Special ed staffing concerns top H-D meeting
Since Brown was elected by
write-in votes, he has the option to
reject the victory. However, he confirmed last week that he will accept
the mayor’s position to become
Coulter’s first new executive in more
than a decade. He said he preferred
to withhold comment until he takes
his oath of office.
Warwick was elected in 1999 and
has held the position for the past 15
years. He also served as mayor for
two terms in the early 1990s. He was
proud of his service and appreciated
the opportunity to serve Coulter.
“I enjoyed it very much,” he said. “It
was a way for me to pay back the town.”
If the name draw had gone in
Warwick’s favor, he said he would
have resigned from office as soon
as he took the oath for the new term.
Because he filed papers as an official candidate, he didn’t have the option to reject the position if Nolte had
drawn his name instead of Brown.
Warwick simply felt it was time
to move on.
“I did a lot of praying about it,” he
said. “The hat draw came as kind of
a relief. Now I won’t have to resign.”
According to the Franklin County Auditor’s Office, Brown and
McKinney’s terms will begin on Jan.
4, 2016.
The names were drawn during
the official vote canvass held at the
Franklin County Law Enforcement
Center in Hampton. All other results
of the Nov. 3 city elections remained
the same.

The Hampton-Dumont Board of Education
heard emotional testimony regarding possible
staff reductions to the South Side Elementary special education program during its meeting Monday night.
Amy Winsor, current K-3 special education
instructor, will be moving away from the district
this winter. The development has led the board
to discuss the future of her position, as the South
Side special education program is currently oper-
ating $200,000 over budget. The board plans to either fill the position with a new full-time replacement, use existing staff as a cost-savings measure,
or simply leave it empty for the remainder of the
year.
Three parents of special needs students met
with the board and expressed their concerns. They
believed it was important to hire a full-time replacement to meet the needs of their children, and
they feared that pushing Winsor’s duties off on
existing staff would only cause problems.
“To fill Amy’s position with someone who’s
not necessarily equipped to handle children with
learning disabilities is not only going to be detrimental to our kids, but it’s going to be detrimental
on the teachers,” said parent Jess Miller.
Superintendent Todd Lettow explained how
the special education program landed in the red.
Projections indicated that five more students
would be enrolled in the program this year, but
they ended up going elsewhere.

VETERANS
Zacharias also acknowledged
past conflicts in the Middle East and
recent clashes with the Islamic State.
He felt it was important to spread
awareness about veterans suffering
from a multitude of combat-related disabilities like Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder.
“We need to keep remembering
them because they’re the ones that
deserve your gratitude,” he said.
“Today, remember your veterans.
Honor them, God and country.”
The display of thanks continued
later in the afternoon during a program in the CAL gymnasium. Army
veteran and current CAL Superintendent Steve Lane gave the keynote
address, which recognized fallen
soldiers from each of America’s military conflicts.
Lane recalled a few anecdotes
from his 15-month deployment
during the Vietnam War. He served
as a driver during his first portion of
service, but was later assigned to a
helicopter unit.
“I highly respect every branch
of service, but especially those who
served in the air or on the water,”
he said. “I’m deathly afraid of both
and prefer that my feet stay on the
ground.”
The remark drew laughs from
the crowd, but the mood was quickly subdued when Lane recalled his
return to the United States. He said
that he and a friend were spit on and
called “baby killers” while dressed

proud of his service.
“On the ride home with mom

Franklin
County
Relay for
Life earns
national
award
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
Money raised at this year’s Franklin County Relay for Life got nationwide attention for the first time as it
landed the county on a list of highest-grossing relays.
The American Cancer Society
has recognized the 2015 Franklin
County Relay for Life as ranking
sixth-highest in donations in counties with 10,000 to 14,999 residents.
This year, the local event raised
$85,850.47 for cancer research and
other patient services.
“I was glad I was sitting down,”
said event organizer Sheri Bogue,
who received the news Oct. 30. “It
made me feel so proud of Franklin
County.”
Bogue, who will organize the relay for the eighth time next year, said
the recognition is not hers, but the
whole county’s.
“People always step up to the
plate to help,” she said.
In her years as organizer, there
have been 10 to 15 teams raising
money each year, as well as local
sponsors. Getting national recognition has Bogue wanting to beat this
year’s total and hold onto a Top 10
spot. She hopes the award will be a
jump-start to excite people about
next year’s event.
Bogue urges people who have not
been to a relay to come out for the
event next year, saying the first visit
often sparks a passion for the event.
The award and a banner will be
presented at the Coaches vs. Cancer
event Jan. 23, which serves as the
2016 Relay for Life kickoff. Participants from West Fork and Hampton-Dumont will compete not only
on the basketball court, but in a
fundraising competition as well.
One Hampton resident is starting
early and going all-out for her fundraising efforts.
Heather Holms plans to shave
her head at Coaches vs. Cancer if
she meets her fundraising goal of
$5,000 before the event. Checks
with ‘buzzed’ in the memo line can
be sent to First Bank Hampton, c/o

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey stopped in Hampton last
week to discuss a variety of topics with local officials and members of
the public. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Secretary of agriculture
shares goals in Hampton
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
Regulations and the reputation
of farmers were topics of discussion
when Iowa Secretary of Agriculture
Bill Northey paid a visit to Hampton
last week.
The Nov. 10 presentation took
place at the Iowa State University
Extension Office and was attended
by about 25 people.
Northey said a free market – not
regulations – should determine
farming decisions, and shared his
non-regulatory views on water quality. He said water policy is not best
understood by lawmakers but by
farmers, and urged engagement on
the issue.
“I’m not going to tell you how to
farm your farm,” he said. “A regulatory effort is not needed.”
A conversation sparked about
how farmers are perceived across
the country by those who don’t farm.
Northey said in the past, more people knew farmers personally, and
the “loss of a permanent, personal
contact with farmers” has affected
the public’s trust of the agriculture
industry.
“What we need is for people to
trust that farmers are doing what
they know is best,” he said. “It’s
going to be an uphill battle, but we
need to show the softer side of agriculture.”
Susan Wulf, Iowa State Extension
program coordinator in Franklin
County, asked Northey for advice on
getting people involved in learning
about agriculture.
“We need to make things real,”
he said. “We need to re-humanize
farming.”
Farm tours and other involvement
between farmers and people in related industries were Northey’s suggestions to help accentuate the positives
of farming and eradicate the “factory farm” mindset that he said some
people hold.
“There are so many people that
don’t understand what goes on on a
farm,” said Randy Heitz, regional
manager at Iowa Farm Bureau.
Heitz said Farm Bureau is effective in “telling the story of agriculture,” with their involvement in
schools and sponsorship of agriculture-related events.
Transparency in farming is also
needed to hold farmers accountable,
Northey said.
“I think the vast majority of people are doing the right thing,” he
said. “That doesn’t mean we would
ever defend those who are doing the
wrong thing.”
Northey touted the success of
Iowa agriculture and recapped this
year in the fields. Crop production is
high, he said, although prices are not.
“I think we will have a chance to
challenge Iowa’s biggest crop ever,”
he said. “It happens one farm, one
county, one elevator at a time. Then
it piles up and comes together.”
Northey recognized adversity in
the livestock industry this year, with
the bird flu hitting hard in Iowa. The
experience raised awareness of the
need for preparedness techniques for
how to handle future outbreaks, he
said. That includes euthanizing animals sooner to stop the disease from
spreading.
Police name fifth vandalism suspect
Local police have released the
name of the fifth suspect allegedly
connected to a string of vandalism
that occurred throughout Hampton
this summer.
Authorities say Jesus Mendoza, 18, spray painted graffiti on the
Rolling Prairie Trail and at multiple Hampton businesses earlier this
year. Mendoza’s name was originally withheld after police issued a
warrant for his arrest in October. He
moved out of state during the course
of the four-month investigation,
PROTECT EVERY TAP AND
EVERY ONE IN YOUR HOME FOR

which prompted the warrant.
Hampton police have charged
Mendoza with one count of Second
Degree Criminal Mischief and three
counts of Fifth Degree Criminal Mischief. As of last week, the arrest warrant had not been served, according
Hampton Police Chief Bob Schaefer.
Four other suspects were charged
in connection to the case last month.
Giovanny Palacios-Hernandez, 18,
and Irving Mora, 19, were charged
with the same crimes as Mendoza,
while Francisco Ozuna, 18, and Cassandra Johnson, 17, were charged
with one count of Second Degree
Criminal Mischief. All four suspects
are from Hampton.
Second Degree Criminal Mischief is a Class D Felony punishable
by up to five years in prison and
$7,500 in fines. Fifth Degree Criminal Mischief is a simple misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail
and $625 in fines.
Other locations hit included
Maynes Grove and Mallory Park.
Local officials said damage and
cleanup estimates at county-owned
property totaled $15,000. All evidence from the Hampton Police Department’s investigation was turned
over to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, which is handling the
investigation at the two rural parks.
Vandalized businesses included Union-Pacific Railroad building, Christensen Jewelry, Hampton
Chronicle, Breadeaux Pizza, Koerner-Whipple Pharmacy and Korner
Bakery. Various traffic signs were
also tagged.

The franchise fee was approved
by the council in September and allows MidAmerica Energy to assess a
5 percent surcharge to Hampton customers’ monthly bills. Revenue generated from the fee will get passed
on to the city, which is allowed to
use the money for infrastructure
improvements and other needs. According to previous estimates, the
fee is expected to generate approximately $225,000 per year.
Council Member Dick Lukensmeyer believed the city should save
the revenue over an extended period
of time and dedicate $2 million to
road repairs.
“I think it would be the responsible thing for us to show citizens we
are serious about fixing the streets,”
he said.
However, Boehmler and the
council weren’t completely sold on
the idea.
City Manager Ron Dunt pointed
out that the council originally agreed
to pursue the franchise fee as an alternative revenue source to taxes.
Commercial and multi-residential
property tax rollbacks are expected
to affect the city’s general fund within the next five years, which could
lead to budget cuts and other financial constraints. Boehmler suggested
that the council hold off on making
commitments that could create future headaches.
“If we’re going to make that kind
of move on street repairs, we’re
going to have to be prepared to cut
elsewhere to back fill the rollback if
it happens like we think it might,”
he said.
Council members Jay Hickman
and Dyanne Pralle agreed with
Boehmler, and felt the city should let
the franchise fee revenue accumulate
before committing to projects. They
both believed street repairs should
get a piece of the pie, however, they
weren’t confident Lukensmeyer’s $2
million proposal was the right option
due to future revenue insecurity.
Two members of the public offered their opinions following the
council’s discussion.
Hampton attorney Brian Miller,
who was in attendance for an unrelated matter, didn’t understand why
the council was even discussing future infrastructure repairs if property tax rollbacks were on the horizon.
He believed franchise fee revenue
would need to backfill lost revenue
in other areas of the budget, making
planning for road improvements irrelevant.
Miller likened the situation to
politicians on the campaign trail.
“You’ll be promising one thing
and doing another,” he said.
Barry Lamos, a vocal opponent
of the franchise fee, offered his own
take following Miller’s remarks. He
believed the franchise fee would hurt
local residents and businesses, and
also pointed out that MidAmerica
Energy recently proposed increasing
gas rates.
Lamos also believed the city was
wasting taxpayer dollars on engineering expenses and other costs for
infrastructure projects. He felt local construction crews could do the
same preliminary work for significantly less.
“It’s ridiculous,” he said.
Boehmler thanked the men for
their input. The council will continue discussion about franchise fee
revenue at future workshops.
Council members Jim Davies and
Steve Harms were absent.

Pulling back
the curtains on
accountability
Though Iowa might rank high compared to other states
when it comes to government transparency, a recent report
shows there’s still plenty of room for future improvement.
The Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity recently gave Iowa an overall grade of D-plus in its annual
State Integrity Investigation. The assessment rates government transparency by analyzing public records access laws
in each state, then compares the data in a categorized report.
Surprisingly, the Hawkeye State’s D-plus was good enough
for a ninth place tie in the final rankings. That speaks volumes of government transparency across the nation, but by
no means is any of it good.
Reports like these are notoriously critical and thoroughly unsympathetic. However, they serve a vital purpose by
highlighting areas of government that need significant improvement. In Iowa, that means better oversight of judicial
accountability and monitoring of lobbying interests. Both
received failing grades and were the state’s worst-scoring
categories.
Iowa has responded well to poor government accountability reports in the past. As noted in a recent IowaWatch.
org article, the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) was
established in 2012 after the state received a failing grade
for public records access. The board fields complaints about
records requests and alleged open meetings violations, and
it can also seek informal resolutions for disclosure requests
or conduct formal investigations. It’s capable of biting back
at those who break open government laws by issuing civil
fines of up to $2,500.
The IPIB has been a runaway success. Multiple complaints and inquisitions are filed each month by citizens
concerned about transparency in local government, and the
agency shows no signs of slowing down. According this
year’s State Integrity Investigation, our state is now ranked
first in public records access thanks in part to the IPIB’s
efforts.
Safeguards like the IPIB are worthwhile steps at improving transparency, but they aren’t the end-all solution to lackluster accountability standards in government. Far too often
do elected officials and other bureaucrats hide behind the
façade of so-called “sunshine laws” meant to keep the spotlight on government to avoid corruption and other wrongdoing. These policies can include oceans of gray area that allow for broad interpretations of law, which can lead to easy
coverups and denials of public records requests. Essentially,
the intent of a law can be made completely useless by procedural roadblocks and other hurdles.
Improving these policies by giving them real teeth is of
the utmost importance as Iowa, and the entire nation, looks
to improve government transparency in the future. Everyone wants an open government that is held accountable to
the public, but often it seems that very government works
against those it serves by using legal loopholes to hide information. That should never be the case, and reports like
the State Integrity Investigation help shed light on these discrepancies.
Finishing in the State Integrity Investigation’s Top 10
is noteworthy, but it’s rather bittersweet when that accomplishment comes with a D-plus grade. It’s clear our state can
improve despite recent gains at opening up records to the
public. By realizing sunshine laws need constant fine-tuning and improvement, the Hawkeye State can continue making strides at strengthening government accountability and
transparency, which is what citizens expect anyway.
In response to a letter to the editor written by Pastor
Steve Winsor on Oct. 21 and a column by Fritz Groszkruger on Nov. 4, I am worried about our country and
whether we will remain a republic.
I went to the town hall meeting hosted by Rep. Steve
King that Pastor Winsor wrote about. With respect to
Pastor Winsor, I thought his letter was not fair to Rep.
King. It is my opinion the pastor is not informed as to
what is really happening in our country. Mr. Groszkruger was right on point.
You can recite all the Bible verses you like, but the
facts are the facts, as Rep. King said. We should all fear
and stand up right now to what is happening in this country. Rep. King went to Dearborn, Mich., to find the facts.
The facts are many people are coming to this country
and not assimilating.
Of all the countries in the world, the United States
leads in number of immigrants we let into our country
to become citizens. The United States cannot survive if
the people coming here do not assimilate and accept our
laws and constitution. We elected Rep. King to represent
us, to state the facts and make laws to keep us safe and
maintain order in our lives.
We should welcome people into our country to become citizens, but we have to compare our country to
a big boat. The United States can allow only so many
people across our borders or we, too, will surely sink.
Please ask yourself: Is my business, church or house
ever locked? If yes, why? Why do I not have more children? Why not 20 or 30? Do I not try to monitor my children so they choose friends wisely?
People coming into our country to become citizens
should be monitored very carefully for their principles
and willingness to assimilate.

There is no “safe space” in the real world
At Yale University, administrator
Nicholas Christakis was surrounded by a group of angry students and
shouted at. His offense: Having the
audacity to attempt explaining to
them what freedom of speech means.
The controversy began when
his wife, Erika Christakis, a fellow
teacher, sent out an e-mail suggesting that potentially offensive Halloween costumes probably aren’t the
root of all evil and if people didn’t
like them, they could simply ignore
them.
Unable to understand that somebody can disagree with what somebody says while still defending their
right to say it, students are now trying to get the Christakis fired because their views on freedom of expression threaten the student’s ideas
of “safe space.”
At Williams College, Suzanne
Venker was disinvited from speaking at the “Uncomfortable Learning” speaker series. The reason:
Students were afraid that hearing
her views on the failings of modern
day feminism might make some of
them uncomfortable. Yes, they were
afraid of hearing an uncomfortable
viewpoint at a series called “Uncomfortable Learning.”
One wonders why those students
didn’t do what a student at Brown
University did and set up a “safe
space” room in response to one of
their potentially “triggering” lectures. In the event that a student
might hear something they disagreed with, a room was set up with
cookies, coloring books, bubbles and
pillows for the offended student to
retreat to.
Yes. Supposedly grown adults
came up with this idea for other supposedly grown adults.
For some reason, I can’t help but
feel like this is the result of giving
kids “participation trophies.”
Apparently under the impression
that they have an inalienable right to
not be offended, the inability of the
modern college student to withstand
an opinion they disagree with has
resulted in a loss of respect for our
First Amendment.
This came to a head last week
when protesters at the University
of Missouri bullied, intimidated
and then physically removed a student photographer from the public
grounds of the campus.
Yes, these protesters were arguing against the First Amendment
while exercising their own right to
protest. Whatever their cause is,
there is no excuse for that kind of behavior.
The six and a half minute video
of Tim Tai trying to explain First
Amendment press protections to a
group of students acting more like

The freedom
of expression
protected by the First
Amendment is the
cornerstone of our
country. It is what
makes America great.
The marketplace

that opinions be
both expressed and
challenged so that only
the most worthy make
their way to the top.
eight year olds than adults, complete
with “I’m not touching you, you’re
touching me!” antics, is immensely
frustrating to watch. These were not
idealists working towards a noble
cause. They were childish bullies,
plain and simple.
Even though he eventually caved
in to the mob, all credit must be given to Tai for keeping a level head
throughout the encounter. I’ve never experienced such obstruction
in my career, but I’m confident I
would have been less polite by the
three-minute mark.
Mark Schierbecker, the journalist who filmed the encounter, had
his own run-in with the protesters
immediately after Tai was pushed
away. Except his confrontation
wasn’t with students, but a teacher.
Melissa Click, an associate professor with the university, attempted
to physically take the camera from
Schierbecker when he got close to
the protest camps. When her own
efforts failed, she called for “some
muscle” to have Schierbecker removed from the public space.
Click, it should be noted, is not a
teacher at the university’s school of
journalism, although until this week
she did hold a courtesy appointment.
Still, she maintains her position as
an assistant professor with the department of communications, working on research projects that involve
“50 Shades of Grey readers” and
“the impact of social media in fans’
relationship with Lady Gaga.”
No, I’m not kidding.
Schierbecker has been less for-
giving than Tai about the ordeal
and has filed simple assault charges
against Click. One would hope that
if the president of the university
has to step down for not responding
strongly enough to a fecal swastika
that may or may not have existed, a
teacher that physically assaults a student wouldn’t last long either.
I thought that a teacher violating
the First Amendment on the grounds
of one of nation’s top journalism
schools would be the worst thing to
happen last week, but then ISIS carried out a devastating terrorist attack
on Paris.
It’s a stark contrast to behold.
While a bunch of overly entitled crybabies are desperately seeking out
new things to be offended by in a
contest to see who can be the biggest
victim, terrorists were plotting the
death of hundreds of civilians.
The tragedy provides a grim reminder that there’s another group out
there intolerant of opposing viewpoints and willing to resort to violence to protect their “safe space.”
I’ve been watching the slow
growth of this problem for more than
a year now. The perpetually offended, on a constant search to weed out
“microaggressions” and things they
consider “problematic,” have been
making waves here and there for a
while.
For the most part they are simply
annoying. Most of their complaints
are so petty and ill-informed they
aren’t worth responding to. But now
that these attitudes have started to
become so prevalent that it’s beginning to infringe on the First Amendment, it’s probably time to speak up.
Not every constitutional amendment is a winner. The 18th Amendment was a huge mistake and the
Second Amendment has long since
become outdated and disconnected
from its original intent. The First
Amendment, however, is even more
important in today’s Information
Age than it was in 1789.
The freedom of expression protected by the First Amendment is the
cornerstone of our country. It is what
makes America great. The marketplace of ideas demands that opinions
be both expressed and challenged
so that only the most worthy make
their way to the top. Colleges are
supposed to the center of this intellectual discourse, but “safe spaces”
where people barricade themselves
against any opposing point of view
run contrary to that philosophy.
It’s past time for these students to
grow up.
Travis Fischer is a news writer
for Mid-America Publishing and
may not agree with what all people
say, but will always defend their
right to say it.
Have you ever heard of sofa men?
In the oil-rich countries of the
Persian Gulf, most men work for the
government. They sit around dozing
and watching TV, sometimes carrying papers to and from one office
to another. These countries include
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the
United Arab Emirates and Kuwait,
where 84 percent of the workforce
works for the government.
These are the people who remained on their sofas and in their
Rolls Royces while our servicemen
and hardware freed them from an
Iraqi invasion in 1990.
Nearly all manual labor is performed by foreigners in the Gulf
States because the pool of oil below has made work unnecessary for
natives. But now low oil prices are
starting to impact the financial landscape. Governments are offering
incentives to the sofa men to start
businesses and get jobs in the private
sector.
This really hit home when I read
about the Million Student March.
A Nov. 12 Washington Post article
stated, “Students at 110 college campuses across the country planned to
walk out of class Thursday to march
for an affordable education.”
My f irst reaction was “keep
walking.” But being kind and compassionate, and always trying to
see the other side of issues, I forced
myself.
As a farmer, I take my crop insurance, which is really a welfare
check. I have a sales tax exemption
for farm supplies. And we sent our
kids to public school (admittedly
with a promise to be enthusiastically
involved regarding the opinions of
the university-trained teachers).
I’m on the dole just like everyone
else. When the dole is part of the balance sheet for everyone, we take it to
remain at work; even though in the
big scheme of things it distorts the
market, creating untold waste.
When we read newspaper stories
online, oftentimes a comments section follows. Comments on students
complaining about debt they agreed
to take on, low wages in jobs they
applied for, or even any cost at all for
an expensive service they agreed to
buy, inspired some pretty belligerent
comments.
I’m sure the students work hard
at their studies, but only precedent
justifies that anyone but themselves
or willing parents pay for their education. That precedent starts with
kindergarten (or now preschool and
even WIC). The fact that one penny
was taken for someone else’s benefit without the donor’s explicit consent became reason to take another.
Now the whole cost of college is to
be borne by someone with no skin in
the game?
Educators believe in their mission
so they hold up education as the ultimate path to prosperity. Does this
mean that free college for everyone
will eliminate poverty? Who is going to fix your car, mow your lawn
or serve you a taco? The $15 minimum wage they also advocate will
make the taco unaffordable to them
unless there is also a taco subsidy.
The wealth in the Persian Gulf
and the wealth financing free college were both discovered in the early 20th Century. The Federal Reserve
and income tax do the same thing as
oil, except our pool of wealth drains
our own citizenry instead of an ancient puddle of goo. The pool of oil
these students wish to tap is the remnants of an economy where things
were made to satisfy demand and
sold only to those who could afford
them. Wasted resources were mistakes, not policy.
I pity those students in the Million Student March who march for
a free education and sofa men who
lack the satisfaction of earning a
return for a service that is anxiously sought after by a willing buyer.
Students who earn their way to their
own education will be rewarded with
a learning experience more valuable
than the sum of its parts.
Groveling for a living will not
promote self esteem. It is not their
fault. The incremental nature of the
source of their complaint makes it
impossible to remedy.

OPINION & NEWS
Growing a 21st Century workforce
Last week we celebrated Veteran’s Day to honor those who served
in our nation’s armed forces. I’d like
to take the time to thank them for
their service, sacrifice and dedication to this country.
Without the brave men and women of our armed forces, past and
present, I wouldn’t be able to represent the 30,000 citizens of District
54 in the Iowa House. Our soldiers
and veterans have fought to ensure
that all Americans remain free and
that our democracy stands.
I’ve had the opportunity to talk
with many Iowans over recent
weeks. The topics of education, career readiness and workforce needs
have come up frequently. While the
Legislature has taken steps over the
past few years to solve some of these
issues, there is still work to be done.
The state’s unemployment rate
of 3.6 percent is at its lowest point
in nearly a decade, our rate remains
significantly lower than the national
rate and more Iowans than ever are
working. However, the more that I
talk to employers and business owners across the state, the more I hear
about a shortage of employees with a
particular skill set. While Iowa has a
good supply of highly skilled workers, it lacks those with middle-level
skills.
Iowa Workforce Development estimates that 56 percent of all jobs in
LOOKING BACK

GOLDEN
DOME, TOO

Upmeyer
the state are considered middle-skill,
compared to 12 percent that are lowskill and 32 percent that are highskill. Unfortunately, only a third
of Iowa workers have the necessary
skills to fill those jobs.
In 2012 Gov. Terry Branstad
launched the Skilled Iowa Initiative
aimed at identifying the skills workers have, and helping them gain the
skills that they need for 21st Century
jobs. Skilled Iowa encourages workers to take an assessment which tests
basic skills needed in the workplace
such as:
• Problem solving,
• Critical thinking,
• Applied mathematics,
• Locating information,
• And reading for information.
Upon completing the assessment,
individuals earn a National Career
Readiness Certificate (NCRC) in
one of four levels based on their
score. Job seekers are then matched
up with training to help them de-
velop the skills that they need to
improve upon and be successful in
trades or other areas. The NCRC
also helps employers identify which
workers meet their job needs, and
connects the two. Programs like
Skilled Iowa help prepare our workforce to compete in the 21st Century
economy.
House Republicans have worked
over the years to create an environment that produces quality,
high-paying jobs that workers can
raise a family on. Middle-skill jobs
pay good wages while also offering
a greater opportunity for upward
mobility. I am committed to continuing to work on this with our
community colleges, trade associations and job training programs so
that more Iowans can take advantage of the career opportunities that
are out there.
These efforts will spur economic growth in the state, as businesses
looking to relocate or expand will
find a ready workforce. This is a
great way to grow opportunities for
middle class families, while at the
same time making us even more
competitive with surrounding states.
As always, feel free to send me
comments, questions or feedback
that you may have regarding issues

COUNCIL
“I really enjoy serving on the
council and appreciate the opportunity to do so, but I wouldn’t be
able to do that if I move,” he told the
Chronicle. “The [At-Large position]
will allow me to serve my current
ward and the entire city, which I already feel like I do.”
Davies’ resignation will take
effect on Jan. 1, 2016. The Ward 2
appointee would serve until November 2017, when the results of that
month’s election are canvassed.
Those interested in the position
can submit an application until Dec.
18. The council intends to interview
candidates on Dec. 21, with an appointment to be made Jan. 4. However, the group has until March 1 to
make the appointment in case citizens are slow to step forward.
Eligible applicants must live
within the ward’s boundaries.
“We’ll shoot for Jan. 4 or as soon
as possible so the ward can be represented,” said Mayor Brook Boehmler.
Ward 2 citizens can petition for a
special election if they are unhappy
with Davies’ replacement. According to City Manager Ron Dunt, a
petition must be filed within 14 days
after the appointment is made.
The council has relied on the
appointment process as a means to
save money in the past. According to
Franklin County Auditor Michelle
Giddings, a special Ward 2 election
would cost the city around $700.
Council members discussed the
future appointment very little last
Thursday, as most of the debate was
held during their Nov. 9 workshop.
“I think the best thing about the
system is that if we appoint someone, it’s fairly easy for the public
to call for a special election if they
feel it’s necessary,” Council Member
Dick Lukensmeyer said at the workshop. “I think it’s a good safeguard.”
This will mark the fifth time
since 2011 the council has used the
appointment process to fill a void.
Ward 1 saw significant turnover
during that timeframe, with former
council members Bill Hodge, Ryan
Stock and Valerie Haugebak all resigning for various reasons.
Current Ward 1 Council Member
Meghan Freie has been appointed to
the seat twice in the past two years.
She was originally appointed following Haugebak’s resignation in July
2014, but resigned last March due to
plans to move from the area.
However, those arrangements
changed, and Freie was reappointed
to the Ward 1 position after reapplying. She served the remainder of the
term and was re-elected during the
Nov. 3 election.

He was united in marriage to Doris Taylor on December 3, 1943, at
her parent’s farm in Marble Rock. This union was blessed with three children, Sandra, Dennis, and Steve.
Dean farmed and raised his family in the Dougherty area. He also worked
for 20 years for the Dougherty Elevator. In 1970, Dean gave up his farming
operation and moved to rural Greene but continued to work for the elevator.
Eventually he relocated to Grandpa Taylor’s Farm where he remained until
moving into senior housing in Greene.
Celebrations were always special to Dean but his love of fireworks made
the 4th extra special. Living in a small farming community Dean knew most
of his neighbors and frequently would get together to play cards or games in
the evening. He loved ice cream and kept an ample supply around to share
with others that came to visit. Dean especially cherished the times he spent
with his family and their picnics at Beeds Lake in Hampton.
Living family members include his children: Sandra (Dale) Hefner, of
Amarillo, TX; Dennis (Jolene) Edwards, and Steve (Rose) Edwards, both of
Greene; seven grandchildren: Jason (Rachelle) Setzer, of Orlando, Fla.; Danielle (Bart) Passey, of Mesa, AZ; Kristin (Shahram) Malek, of Maple Grove,

H-D BOARD
The development pushed the
program over budget because H-D
never received state funding for the
students, forcing the district to pull
from its own pocket to cover costs
associated with the special needs
program.
Lettow said the district could either tax the community for the overage or pull from the district’s general
fund. Board members were hesitant
about taxing and felt the district
should explore other options.
Member Jeff Rosenberg suggested eliminating unpopular classes in the high school as a future
cost-saving measure. The board had
previously acknowledged revenue
concerns due to future property tax
rollbacks, and Rosenberg felt his
proposal was a plausible option to
save money without cutting funds to
programs like special education.
“I think it’s wonderful that we
have all these classes and options,
but if it doesn’t make financial sense
to do it, I think we have to make
cuts,” he said. “It’s going to be diffi-
Sometimes it’s not

cult next year.”
No consensus was reached during
the meeting. According to elementary Principal Ann Chinander, a
meeting was scheduled this week to
discuss the situation. Staff members
planned to evaluate the needs of each
special needs student to determine if
existing teachers could absorb them
in their classrooms.
The board thanked the parents for
their input and will make a decision
on the matter at a future meeting.
“Sometimes it’s not always about
money, but it definitely plays a role,”
Lettow said.

CAL played tough in
tough conference
By Kristi Nixon
LATIMER - The CAL
volleyball team posted nine
wins - many in conference
play - in which there were
three top-15 teams in the Iowa
Star North this season.
After losing a couple of its
top hitters from a year ago,
the Cadets didn't miss a beat,
relying on a consistent setter
in junior Stephanie Thielen
as well as senior four-year
starters Dianna Porzio and
Emily Quinones.
Reaping the rewards of
playing so well in conference
play, coach Amanda Heiden's
team had two all-conference
players this season in Porzio
and Quinones.
Porzio, at 5-foot-4, earned
the only first team nod in the
North that wasn't occupied
by state championship team
Janesville or state semifinalist
Tripoli.
She was prolific in serving
and led the team in aces, and
was among the team's kill
leaders as an outside hitter.
Quinones
earned
honorable mention on the
highly-competitive Iowa Star
North teams.
Highlights
for
CAL
included a sweep of rival
Clarksville and Colo-Nesco
at home.
The Cadets return several
in 2016, including top hitter
Bri Pals, another key hitter
in Kaylea Rew, Thielen and
converted libero McKayla
Drake.

Grassley Barkema Charitable Trust awards $852,000 to local groups
spring
internships
available
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa
announced last week that spring internships for college-age Iowans are
available, with applications are due
Nov. 30.
Inter nships are available in
Grassley’s Washington, D.C., office
as well as his offices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des
Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo.
The semester-long internship will
run from January through May.
Interns assist staff members with
administrative, legislative and communications work, including that of
Grassley’s staff on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where he
serves as chairman. An internship
allows for a wide range of learning
experience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill.
Grassley encourages young Iowans who are interested in learning more about the government to
apply. Due to security-related delays in postal mail delivery to U.S.
Senate office buildings, internship
applications should be emailed to [email protected].
gov or faxed to (202) 224-5136. For
additional information, email [email protected] or call

Foster and Evelyn Barkema, lifelong residents of Alexander, created the charitable trust in 2012. The
trust is authorized to make grants to
tax-exempt organizations which are
of a charitable, educational, literary,
health or public service nature. Preference is given to the communities
within the CAL, Belmond-Klemme,
Hampton-Dumont and West Fork
school districts.
Also considered are medical facilities located outside the area but
serving the residents in those communities, as well as human service
(charitable) organizations which
may be located outside the specified
area but serve general human needs.
Applications for 2016 grants will
be due by Sept. 30, 2016, and may
be obtained after May 1, 2016, by
contacting Zoe Brown, P.O. Box
461, Hampton, IA 50441, or email at

Thir teen Things Librar ians
Won’t Tell You, #6: Librarians are
really, really tired of people asking,
“Are libraries obsolete?”
There are more public libraries
in the United States than McDonald’s restaurants – 16,536, including
branches – and 58 percent of American adults have library cards. Those
numbers don’t even include school,
government or university libraries.
The Hampton Public Library averages 75-100 customers per day. That
is an average that Hampton can be
proud of!
Water
conditions
trend normal
after warm
October
Overall conditions continue
to trend fairly normal across the
state following a warmer and
drier-than-normal October.
The first widespread hard
freeze of the season occurred on
Oct. 17 over the northeast onehalf of the state and portions of
northwest Iowa. Nearly all rain
fell over the final 11 days of
October, and the state’s totals
varied from 0.61 inches to 4.07
inches for the month.
Last week’s National Drought
Monitor indicated 10 percent of
Iowa is abnormally dry, and another 5 percent was classified
as being in moderate drought.
These numbers slowly increased
over the past few weeks, but
should remain stable as drought
conditions generally change little during the winter months,
according to a release from the
Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
When you shop at home, you’re not just spending money, you’re investing it. Part of every dollar you spend
locally is returned to your community in the form of merchants’ taxes, contributions to local charities and employee
salaries. Local businesses help pay the taxes that support schools and other vital community services.
Their charitable contributions support your house of worship, youth activities and more.
When you support your local businesses... you’re also supporting your own community.

2015 BULLDOGS SHOW MARKED IMPROVEMENT
UNDER NEW COACH
HAMPTON – Under first-year head coach
Dave Harms, the Hampton-Dumont volleyball
program finished the season with nine wins,
tripling the number of victories the Bulldogs
had experienced during the previous three
seasons.
Despite losing one of its top senior hitters
Macy Scheideman to an ankle injury mid-way
through the season, H-D continued to show
Holly A. Narber • Agent
improvement, winning four of its matches in
the last few weeks of the regular season.
A year after being shut out of the highly

Later, coach Harms’ team posted a sweep of
Clear Lake at home and a five-set road win at
Fort Dodge St. Edmond.
The Bulldogs return 11 players, including

A big boost for Harms and his team was the
fact that the Bulldogs posted three of their wins
against North Central Conference competition.
Prior to its five-set match win over Webster
City on Tuesday, Sept. 15, H-D hadn’t won
in conference play since October of 2013
to former NCC school, Eagle Grove. It also
showed determination in that match since it
came back from a two-set deficit.

BAD BREAKS FOR H-D CROSS COUNTRY
HAMPTON – Right from the start of the
Hampton-Dumont cross country season, attrition
started to get the best of the Bulldogs.
Coach Steve Huling’s girls' team especially,
started to dwindle shortly after the first meet due to
injuries, ending the Class 2A state qualifying meet
with just two runners. H-D started the season with
10.
One of those runners, a returning state qualifier
in sophomore Patty Teggatz, was a victim of a tough
regional meet that included six ranked teams and
more than a handful of ranked runners as she was
shut out of a second straight state meet by only two
seconds and/or places.
Despite the tribulations, the Bulldogs won the
Lake Mills Invitational for the third straight year
with only five scoring runners.
The boys’ team, while seeing marked
improvement throughout the season with time drops
of several minutes for some, still were shut out of
the state-qualifying meet at Dike as the boys’ team
wasn’t completely immune from injuries, as well.
Last year’s top runner, Isaac Shelton, barely raced
throughout the season because of a back injury.
A highlight for both teams was the home meet
held at Maynes Grove on Thursday, Oct. 1 with
great support from students, faculty and fans.

West Fork trio
land on Class
1A District 3
first team
BRITT - West Fork seniors Tyson
Pillard and Jacob Kuhlemeier and
junior Cole Hall were West Fork’s
first team all-district football players
in Class 1A District 3.
Pillard, who overcame injuries all
throughout his career, with this season no exception, managed to help
the Warhawks as they earned two
district victories in 2015.
Kuhlemeier played a key role for
coach Eric Gabe’s team both offensively and defensively. He had a big
62-yard catch-and-run on fourth
down to score a touchdown against
perennially strong Emmetsburg and
forced the E-Hawks to run on the
opposite side while he was playing
defense.
Hall was one of West Fork’s defensive leaders and took up a big
chunk of time stepping up on offense
while Pillard was out.
Second team honors went to West
Fork quarterback Jarel Arbegast and
back Christian Ames, both juniors.
Arbegast continued to improve as
the season progressed, finishing the
last five weeks of the season without
throwing an interception.
Ames also played solid on both
sides of the ball for the Warhawks
as they finished 2-7 overall, gaining
both of the team’s victories in district play.
Ear ni ng honorable mention
all-district were junior Rylan Fleshner and sophomore Alex Bender.
Hall also claimed the only West
Fork spot on the first team academic
all-district.
Second team academic all-district
went to Kuhlemeier, Chad Blanchard
and Sarah Dusold (volleyball).
The MVPs and coaches of the
year were dominated by St. Ansgar
and Pocahontas Area.

H-D SENIOR KNOWS THE
MEANING OF SACRIFICE
H-D senior Cody O’Donnell is not your average high
school student. On Veteran’s Day he had a frontrow seat for
the program held at the high school as an invited guest with
his veterans who were honroed that morning. With just half
a year of high school ahead of him, Cody has big plans which
include continued service in the armed forces. Here’s what
he had to say about his service.
Q: In what branch of the armed forces do you serve?
A: Army National Guard
Q:When did you enlist?
A: March 02, 2015
Q: What training have you had?
A: Basic Combat Training in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri

VETERAN’S DAY
HDHS GIVES THANKS TO OUR VETERANS
By Jonny Victor and Nikki Donnenwerth
Each November 11th
the United States celebrates
Veteran’s Day. There is a rich
history about the day which
originated as “Armistice
Day” that many people don’t
know about. On November
11, 1919 congress passed a
resolution for an annual observance. That date became
a national holiday. Veteran’s
Day is often confused with
Memorial Day. Memorial
Q: What has been the most challenging aspect?
A: Knowing my rank structure and staying physically and
mentally ready for what is about to come.
Q: What now? (what’s going to happen with it in the future?)
A: I’ll go to AIT at Fort Lee Virgina where I will learn about
being a mechanic (91B).
Q: What are your future educational plans?
A: I’m going to college at Hawkeye Community College and
then transferring to UNI, majoring in Business Management
with a minor in the Automotive Industries.
Q: What does Veteran’s Day mean to you?
A: A time to look back and think about everyone who has
given the ultimate sacrifice. Also it means knowing that I
could be called to serve my country any day and accepting
that it could happen.
Q: Anything else you’d like to add about your decision to
enlist?
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of
him, but because he loves what is behind him.”

bers, teachers, and veterans
gathered in the high school
gym to give thanks to those
who have given their time
and service. The program
started with “The Star Spangled Banner” by the Hampton-Dumont High School
Concert Band, followed by
an introductory statement by
senior, Bekah Christiansen.
Next the Concert Band and
choir representatives played
and sang “America the
Beautiful.” Then senior Cate
Meader took a moment to
explain some of the history
of Veteran’s Day.
A highlight of the program came next, not only
when Middle School Principal Tony Spradlin addressed
the audience, but when Ciara
Spradlin, his daughter and
H-D senior took to the podium to introduce her dad as
the guest speaker. Mr. Spradlin, a Master Sergeant in
the Air Force, told audience
members about the impact
that fellow veterans have had
on his life and reminded us
to always remember those
who have given the ultimate
sacrifice.
Next the Concert Band
played “The Armed Forces
Salute” followed by an introduction of each of the veterans. The H-D Concert Choir
sang “Battle Hymn of the
Republic” and Jim Zacharias
gave a closing statement.
“Taps” was played by members of the band and the
colors were retired. It was a
special day for the community and school.

CAL sharing football in the balance
BY KRISTI NIXON
HAMPTON – CAL’s football
future and where the Cadets go to
play in 2016 and beyond lay in the
balance.
A Tuesday, Nov. 10 special meeting by the Hampton-Dumont Board
of Education discussed sharing football in 2016 and beyond with CAL
Community Schools.
It was a prequel to coaches and
administration from H-D making
a proposal in front of a community
committee formed by CAL school
comprised of school board members, superintendent Steve Lane,
activities director/principal Scott
Striegel and four CAL students on
Thursday, Nov. 12 along with Belmond-Klemme and Clarion-Goldfield/Dows.
The last team, C-G/D, is the
school the Cadets shared with in
2015. A special CAL school board
meeting will be scheduled today
(Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m.) to determine the sharing agreement.
H-D superintendent Todd Lettow on Tuesday provided a little
background to the school board to
let them know how much the two
schools share already.
“It has been six or seven years
that we’ve been doing some sort of
thing with CAL,” Lettow said on
Tuesday. “Through those partnerships, I believe…it’s been so long, I
don’t remember.”
Listed among those things Lettow said are shared are/were the
transportation director, buildings
and grounds director, HR director,
business manager, school nurse,
child nutrition director, TAG in-

Dows and Hampton-Dumont on
Thursday, the CAL special committee posed the same questions to all
three schools. Some answered similarly, others had a different take.
The biggest difference was when
it came to discussing whether the
schools would be welcoming. While
both B-K and Clarion-Goldfield/
Dows committed to welcoming
CAL, with C-G/D pointing to this
past season’s instance of doing so, it
opened up a bit more discussion with
Hampton-Dumont.
“We’d like to see the schools come
together,” H-D High School principal Steve Madson said. “We want to
make sure the kids pull this off.”
The subject of there being some
animosity between the two schools
was brought up.
“I think there is some animosity
because of open enrollment,” CAL
athletic director Scott Striegel said.
“If we don’t lose the six (or) seven
kids (to open enrollment), we are not
having this conversation.”
CAL school board member Austin Elling mentioned the attrition
rate from middle school to the varsity program. During the proposal with C-G/D, it was stated three
eighth graders played middle school
at Hampton and was indicated that
more (players) may go out next year
if the situation changes.

Racing News
Brad Keselowski, Joey
Logano, Carl Edwards
and Kurt Busch were
eliminated
from
the
Chase for the Cup.
All could have earned a spot in the finale
with a victory at Phoenix, but the weather
ruined their shot to race their way into
the championship. Logano finished a
frustrating third and was denied a chance
to race Earnhardt and Harvick on a
restart because of the rain. “You don’t
know if there’s another restart if we’re
going to win,” Logano said. “You just
want a chance. It’s no one’s fault. It’s not
NASCAR’s fault. What are they supposed
to do when it’s pouring out?” Keselowski
nearly won last week at Texas but was
chased down in the closing laps by
Jimmie Johnson. “I don’t think it matters
what’s fair, it matters what entertains the
fans and if the fans are happy then that’s
what it’s all about,” said Keselowski.
This week is the tenth and final race
in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
NASCAR racing made its debut in
the Miami area in 1995, drawing a
sellout crowd of 60,000 to its first event. The track has
a $100 million annual impact on the local economy
and draws more than 300,000 racing enthusiasts
annually to the area. The facility covers 600 acres
and has a total of 65,000 Grandstand seats and
has been called the “most beautiful racing facility
anywhere on the planet”. In 2005, the track installed
state-of-the-art lights making it possible for racing
to be held after dark. The excitement has built up
for the Ford EcoBoost 400: the finale for NASCAR’s
10-race Chase for the Cup championship.
Reporters honor Jeff Gordon with
Kentucky Speedway Trophy
Reporters honored Jeff Gordon for his
benevolence and accessibility to the
media over his 24-year career. Organized
by veteran writers Mike Hembree and
Kenny Bruce, the informal ceremony
included the presentation of a gift the
reporters knew Gordon didn’t already
have, a trophy from Kentucky Speedway.
Kentucky Speedway is the only active
Cup Series track where Gordon has never
won. Instead of “Winner” or “Champion,”
the trophy was inscribed “Participant,” and
Gordon appreciated the joke.

A serendipitous sequence of pit stops and a drizzle that turned into
a downpour made a winner of Dale Earnhardt Jr. in Sunday night’s
Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 at Phoenix International
Raceway. The start of the race was delayed from day to night by
rain in the afternoon. After the start of the race in the evening, the
race was halted again by rain just 93 laps short of its scheduled
distance of 312 laps. It was hardly a satisfying conclusion for Carl
Edwards, Brad Keselowski,Kurt Busch or Joey Logano. Those four
drivers were eliminated from the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint
Cup. Defending champion Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin
Truex Jr. joined Jeff Gordon in next Sunday’s Championship
Round at Homestead-Miami Speedway. (3 p.m. ET on NBC, MRN,
SiriusXM). Earnhardt won for the third time at Phoenix, the third
time this season and the 26th time in his career.

how does it change?” Elling asked.
The answer, from Hampton-Dumont is that there had to be a belief
from the kids that there is a partnership.
“I think it’s having those partnerships that are developed…I think we
can do more if we partner with other
schools than we can by ourselves,”
Lettow said on Tuesday. “That’s why
I think this is a natural progression.
I know football is bigger than any
sport it seems like it is at all schools.
“So many of those partnerships
have been successful and they’ve
grown and I wanted to consider this
and grow.”
Lettow also added on Tuesday
that the state gives schools sharing
incentives in the form of dollars.
“There is no doubt that if CAL
decides to go play football somewhere else doesn’t really make
sense,” Lettow said. “If we keep the
middle school sports here and have
the high school sports somewhere
else; they are not going to have two
buses going two different directions
for sports every night. I can’t see that
they would do that.”
That was also addressed on
Thursday’s meeting while discussing sharing with C-G/D.
Striegel said that the school needs
to address that, “but we need to go
with one district (for all sports).” He
also indicated that he’d like to revive
sports that have ended at CAL, like
golf and cross country.
Another difference is the level
CAL athletes will play in no matter
what school it chooses.
B-K would jump from Class A to
1A, Hampton-Dumont likely would
move from Class 2A to 3A, however,
Clarion-Goldfield/Dows expects to
remain in 2A.
“From a coaching standpoint, we
always like to be the bigger fish in
the small pond,” H-D activities director and assistant football coach
Dan Aalbers said. “That being said,
I feel confident that our coaches will
coach whoever we have as hard as
we possibly can.”
Aalbers said on Tuesday that it
would be a chance for the team to
play different schools.
“I don’t necessarily look at it as a
negative,” Aalbers said. “Do I think
it will be more of a challenge? Probably. We’ve bounced back and forth
(between 3A and 2A).”
There was also some discussion
over whether teams would be opening to playing one game at CAL.
Both B-K and C-G/D said JV games
were definitely a possibility, but
more discussion would be needed on
facility upgrades for a varsity contest.
Aalbers said that it would be hard
since H-D has only a Friday night
doubleheader, but administration did
say that if there were some upgrades
that it could be up for discussion.
There were also some variations
between the schools on practice,
weightlifting and off-season schedules.
B-K coach Xavier Leonard provided an organized and detailed
practice schedule that included
weightlifting, for every day of the
week in-season, and described going
to a Rivals Camp in St. Louis.
C-G/D coach Paul Hansch proposed a f lat start time of 4 p.m.,
which would be a change to make
sure that all of the student athletes
start practice at the same time. The
Cowboys go to Simpson College
team camp.
Hampton-Dumont detailed an
intensive in-season and off-season
program that has been in place for
years including bringing other teams
in on “Football Fridays” in the summer, speed/agility camps as well as a
Central College team camp.
Whereas B-K and C-G/D said it
would like to have each school keep
its eligibility, H-D said that could
be open to discussion, especially if
there would be different players sitting or playing depending on another
school’s policy.
All three schools provide a form
of parent/outside support program
like Sideliners, each at C-G/D and
H-D, while B-K calls it Gridiron
Club.
There were also some concerns
about keeping CAL’s identity when
it came to homecoming. The committee members were all complimentary toward C-G/D for its support during the process, including
both going to both towns’ events, including the parade, bonfire and two
school dances.
“I’ve got to hand it to your kids,”
Lane said. “When our kids were announced, they went wild.”
One question posed to C-G/D that
the other two schools didn’t face was
the hazing incidents that became
public at season’s end that led to the
expulsion of three student-athletes.
The group representing C-G/D
said they couldn’t go into specifics because of privacy issues, but
as a board they acted on Tuesday
that students were suspended, by
Wednesday, they were told it was out
of their hands, but rather in Clarion
police and by Friday, the students involved were expelled.
It was insisted ‘this is not a pattern of history of this kind in our
school.’
Among other questions that were
answered and agreed upon were the
need for sharing coaches, cheerleading, equipment needs, extensive parent involvement from all sides and
the need to recognize players on a
Senior Night.
Aalbers was hopeful that CAL
would join with H-D and make it a
true team, not ‘us and them.’
“Football is the ultimate team
sport,” Aalbers said. “We don’t care
if your Hispanic or not, we don’t
care if you come from Alexander or
Dumont or Geneva. Were a team. I
know there are some questions between you and us, but if we are going
to coach them, we’re going to coach
them.”

A record state and national soybean crop will likely open doors to
new marketing opportunities, according to Iowa Soybean Association
(ISA) leaders.
Iowa’s soybean harvest, projected at nearly 550 million bushels, is
nearly complete. According to last
week’s U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Crop Production Report, this year’s crop will eclipse the
previous record set in 2005 by almost
25 million bushels. Soybean yields
statewide are estimated at 56 bushels
per acre, up three bushels from last
month.
The report pegged national soybean production at an all-time high
of nearly 4 billion bushels, about
94 million bushels higher than last
month’s projections. The average
yield nationwide is estimated at 48.3
bushels per acre, up nearly 1.1 bushels from last month, mainly on gains
in the Midwest.
Demand for U.S. soybeans is
strong. Production is stronger due
to nearly ideal growing conditions
in much of the upper Midwest. U.S.
soybean ending stocks for the 201516 marketing year are estimated at
465 million bushels, according to the
USDA World Agricultural Supply
and Demand Estimates (WASDE)
Report, up 40 million bushels from
last month.
Domestic crush for the current
marketing year was raised 10 million
bushels to nearly 1.9 billion bushels
on higher meal exports, the WASDE
Report said. Whole bean exports are
estimated at more than 1.7 billion
bushels, up 40 million from October’s report.
Since much of the nation’s soybean crop is in the bin or off to market, commodity analyst and broker
Al Kluis expects little to no change
when final production numbers are
released in January.
Kluis, who owns Kluis Commodities in Minnesota and also farms, anticipates domestic soybean usage and
exports will climb resulting in lower
than forecasted ending stocks. And
likely higher prices in the future. He
recommends farmers be patient.
The USDA season-average soybean price is projected at $8.15 to
$9.65 per bushel, down 25 cents on
both ends of the range. Kluis said the
USDA price estimates is usually pretty accurate. He expects prices will be
in the upper end of the spectrum by
the end of the current marketing year.

FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS
FGH patients to benefit
from grant aimed
at heart attack care
Franklin General Hospital and
its patients will be among those
who benefit from a $105,000 grant
awarded to Mercy Medical Center
– North Iowa from the American
Heart Association as part of “Mission: Lifeline,” an American Heart
Association community-based initiative aimed at improving the system of care for heart attack patients
throughout rural Iowa.
Each year, hundreds of thousands
of Americans have the most serious
type of heart attack known as an
ST-elevated myocardial infarction,
or STEMI, in which blood flow is
completely blocked to a portion of
the heart. Unless the blockage is
eliminated quickly, the patient’s life
is at serious risk.
Currently, around two-thirds of
STEMI patients fail to receive the
best available treatments to restore
blood f low. “Mission: Lifeline”
seeks to save lives by closing the
gaps that separate STEMI patients
from timely access to appropriate
treatments.
Hospitals involved in “Mission:
Lifeline” are part of a system that
ensures STEMI patients get the
right care they need, as quickly as
possible. The program focuses on
improving the system of care for
these patients and at the same time
improving care for all heart attack
patients in Iowa.
“We will now have the opportunity to identify a heart attack faster,
and provide lifesaving treatments
before significant damage, or even
death occurs,” said Samuel Congello, DO, Medical Director for Interventional Cardiology. “Mission
Lifeline has expanded the reach of
the PCI hospital and treatment times
optimized with the tools, education,
and resources of Mission Lifeline.”
In collaboration with stakeholders representing hospitals, individual ambulance services and regional
EMS medical directors, the project
will enhance many critical elements
of an optimal STEMI system of care:
a system-wide data tool for quality
measurement and improvement; ongoing medical provider training and
STEMI education; coordination of
protocols for rural EMS and hospital
personnel; regional plans for rapid
transport of patients; and a public
education campaign on heart attack
symptoms and the need to call 911.
Funding focused on enhancing
rural systems is being awarded for
hospitals and ambulance services to
enhance 12 L ECG equipment and
training.
“Having a standardized protocol
helps ensure that patients in our ER
will get the care they need sooner,”
said FGH CEO Kim Price. “This is
an advantage of being part of a network of hospitals working together.”
The program is made possible by
$6.1 million in funding, including a
$4.6 million grant from The Leona
M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.

The Hampton-Dumont Drama Department presented two showings of
“Anchor’s Aweigh: A Farce at Sea” Nov. 14-15 at the Church of the Living
Word auditorium. The cast also performed a sneak peak for H-D middle
schoolers on Thursday afternoon.
The comedy featured a 28-member cast and told the story of a singles
cruise on the dilapidated S.S. Flounder. As the ship’s veteran captain struggled with his rookie crew, a colorful group of passengers climbed aboard
looking for love on the high seas. Audience members were treated to multiple laughs as the cast mingled among themselves in hopes of finding that
special someone.

will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this
newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.
Martha “Marty” Erickson
On the evening of Nov. 21, 1995 Martha Erickson, 47, was murdered while
on her way to a dance. Her body was
discovered the following day in Avon
Lake’s shallow water. She had been
beaten and stabbed. Police say the body
offered few clues due to time spent in
the water, and that they couldn’t even
say for sure whether Erickson had been
sexually assaulted.
Erickson
enjoyed
helping
SHRSOH ¿JKW
their demons, and often attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings even
though she wasn’t an alcoholic.
After Erickson’s death, it was discovered that she was an acquaintance
of two other murdered women: Susan
Kersten, whose severely burned body
had been found two months earlier
near Iowa City; and Donna Lee Marshall, who was found shot in the head
in her home in Bon Aire Mobile Home
Lodge in Iowa City in January 1996.
But the investigation into the acquaintance of all three women yielded nothing substantial.
Martha “Marty” Erickson | Age: 47
Died: Nov. 21, 1995
Hometown: Avon Lake
