Infrastructure improvement projects are heating up in Hampton with
the arrival of favorable late-spring
weather.
Workers have been completing
a water main replacement project
in the southwest part of town for
the past two weeks. Outdated pipes
caused problematic main breaks in
recent years, which forced a complete overhaul between Fifth and
Seventh Avenue Southwest.
The project will cost the city
around $115,000 and is hoped for
completion by mid-June.
“It’s not a huge project, but it’s a
good project,” said Public Works Director Doug Tarr. “These two blocks
were the most troublesome in the last
10 years. It’s a good one to get done.”
The soil in the southwest part
of town has a high clay concentration that reacted with the metal
and degraded it over time. Workers
swapped out old cast iron four-inch
pipe in favor of new eight-inch PVC
pipe to improve flow, fire protection
and water quality.
“You don’t get the rust and other
things that build up in metal pipes.
These new ones don’t corrode,”
said Tarr.
The new pipes were bore in beneath the ground to reduce the
amount of excavation work, but
some digging was required in cer-

Hopes that the bird flu outbreak
in Wright County was nearing its
end were dashed last week when two
additional probable cases were announced by the Iowa Department of
Agriculture.
On May 27 the department announced that a commercial laying
operation with an estimated 1 million birds had tested positive for the
H5 avian influenza. This is the first
new case of bird flu found in Wright
County since May 8.
While the producer affected by
the previous three cases has not been
identified, the recent fourth case is
confirmed to be at a site owned by
Centrum Valley Farms.
“There was a positive AI finding at a single location at Centrum,”
said CMA Hinda Mitchell. “Those
affected birds have been humanely
euthanized. We are pleased that all
other flocks are testing negative at
this time.”

Council
amends
FY15 budget
BY NICK PEDLEY
An amendment tweaking the current fiscal year budget highlighted a
brief Hampton City Council meeting
last Thursday.
The amendment reduces expected revenues by $101,000 and expected expenditures by $108,500. The
changes were necessary to accommodate underestimated sales tax
revenue, project delays and unforeseen expenses like overtime pay for
city staff.
The council unanimously approved the amendment on a 5-0 vote.
Council Member Dyanne Pralle was
absent.
“I haven’t received any comments
from the public at City Hall regarding this amendment,” said City Manager Ron Dunt.
The council moved on and tackled a light agenda following the budget amendment.

Water samples were taken last
week for bacterial analysis. Once the

city will tie in the new mains with

New fire hydrants were also installed along the main line. Tarr was
pleased with progress so far and
said residents have been cooperative
throughout the whole ordeal.
“This has been a smooth project

The city will complete other water main replacement projects in the

been set, but there are multiple areas
throughout town that have old twoinch mains connecting service lines.

A new controlled burn ordinance
passed by the board of supervisors on Monday hopes to limit the
amount of grass fires that plagued
rural Franklin County this spring.
The ordinance establishes provisions and procedures for burning
things like grass, brush and other
overgrowth. Multiple controlled
burns got out of hand this spring,
which prompted the supervisors to
investigate new regulations to reduce problems and save local firefighting resources.
The ordinance establishes penalties for individuals that violate the
rules.
“I spoke with some firefighters,
and they’re saddened that we have to
even go this route,” said Supervisor
Corey Eberling. “They really wish
people would use more common
sense.”

“That’s not conducive to good
fire protection,” Tarr explained. “We
still have a lot of those two-inchers,
believe it or not.”
The water main replacement project is the first big item on the city’s
list this year, but it isn’t the last.
Work on the new multi-million
dollar wastewater treat plant will
ramp up this summer. Workers
hooked up electricity to the trailers
located at the site last week, and dirt
work has been ongoing all spring.
The new facility is scheduled to go
online in fall 2016.
So far a massive hole has been
dug and extensive excavation work
has been completed. Heavy spring
rains filled the bottom of the pit with
around four feet of water, which
will need to be pumped before work
starts up.
According to Tarr, the site will
have four to five buildings and a
three-cell holding pond when everything is finished.
“I imagine within the next two
weeks we’ll see a lot more activity
going on there,” he said. “They’ve
got their work cut out for them.”

cost led the supervisors to set a
public hearing for July 6 at 10
a.m. to receive comments on the
proposed improvements.
The supervisors also received a repair report for Joint
Drainage District #5-75 in Oakland Township. The district is
shared by Franklin and Hardin
counties and needs 1,300 feet
of main tile replaced with reinforced concrete pipe.
The price of the project is estimated at $112,464. The Hardin
County Board of Supervisors
will set a public hearing at a later date because Hardin County
controls the drainage district.

The bad news got worse on Friday
when the Iowa Department of Agriculture announced a fifth probable
case, this time at a pullet farm with
an estimated 400,000 birds.
The loss of a pullet farm will have
a compounded effect on the recovery
of the poultry industry. Because pullet farms produce the birds that will
eventually replace the millions of euthanized laying chickens, waiting for
a pullet farm to restock themselves
will delay the ability for other poultry
producers to replenish their flocks.
“If the supply chain is broken,
that will have long-term effects
on the availability of egg layers
and eventually on eggs,” said Gijs
Schimmel in a previous interview.
Schimmel is the owner of Centurion
Poultry, which has a Goldfield facility with 120,000 breeding chickens.
“It’s important to the industry that
we stay free because if there’s no-

body to resupply the industry with
chicks after they’ve been depopulated, it takes even longer to recover.”
In the meantime, the Wright
County Board of Supervisors is doing everything within their power
to limit the continued spread of the
virus.
“We’re continuing to keep up our
road barricade and doing whatever
we can to assist,” said Supervisor
Stan Watne. “It’s kind of frustrating
to see it keep coming back.”
The county has implemented dust
control measures and closed several
secondary roads around local poultry
facilities in an effort to limit the avenues of travel available to the virus.
Right now the supervisors are examining additional ways to limit the
chance of cross-contamination.
“We’re looking at installing some
signs on the roads in the country to
make them aware of the avian flu,”
said Watne, “We’d like it if the folks
could just do all they can to stay
away from those sites.”
• Road closed near Franklin County chicken site
Emergency officials have closed
a gravel road near a Coulter poultry
site following a request from the facility’s owners.
Franklin County Emergency
Management Coordinator Thomas
Craighton said Sparboe Farms requested the road closure recently as
a preemptive measure to reduce the
threat of bird flu. Heather Avenue,
which runs along the west side of
the facility, was closed following the
request and dust control spray was
applied. Some industry officials believe the virus is entering facilities
via dust particles.
A state of emergency remains in
effect throughout Franklin County.
The declaration was made May 8 to
open up funds to combat bird flu and
protect local producers. “It’s going to
stay in effect until we quit having new
cases around us,” said Craighton.
There were no known cases of the
highly-pathogenic virus in Franklin
County as of Tuesday morning.
Emergency officials are still asking residents to avoid traveling near
Franklin County’s six commercial
poultry facilities, all of which are located in the western half of the county. Heather Avenue near Coulter is
the only closed road, Craighton said.

HORSE ARENA
Lowery and her husband, Bruce
Symens, live on the north edge
of Hampton in a large log home
that overlooks lush pastures along
Spring Creek. The acreage is home
to Midwest Prairie Candles and also
includes stables attached to a large
building with a warehouse, office
area and indoor arena.
Lowery is a certified Parelli instructor and conducts workshops at
her home and throughout the Midwest. Parelli is a people training program that focuses on learning horse
behavior and using that knowledge
to become a better horseman.
Deb Place, a leader and horse
lover, said that meetings are held at
Midwest Prairie once a month.
“It’s wonderful,” she said. “We
can work on things in the indoor
arena in the winter. Carol also lets
us have open arena and the kids
can come and ride a couple times a
month.”
Place said she agreed to help with
the club because she wanted to see
more kids involved in horse showing.
“I love that it gives kids who don’t
have a horse the chance to be around
the horse atmosphere,” she said.
Many Horse-N-Around members
feel the same way. Claire Wearda was
thrilled when she heard that she didn’t
need a horse to join the club.
“I love horses and I wanted to
learn to ride,” said the 12-year-old,
who like many other Horse-NAround members, has dual membership in two 4-H clubs.
Lowery said that Wearda was
a good student. She told her if she
came out to the stables and helped
with chores a couple times a week,
she would let her ride and take a
horse to show at the fair. Wearda
excitedly agreed, and every week
comes out to cleans stalls.
When the chores are done, it’s
time to ride. Lowery lets Wearda
use a 6-year-old quarter horse called
Luna, a name inspired by the crescent moon shape on her forehead.
The board of supervisors is hoping a
new controlled burn ordinance will make
residents think twice before starting a
fire and walking away. FILE PHOTO
The ordinance requires residents to contact the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office prior to lighting
a controlled burn. It also requires
residents to properly supervise each
fire and have adequate suppression
methods on site in case the blaze gets
out of hand. No burning will be allowed when a National Weather Service Red Flag Warning is in effect.
Any burn left unsupervised that
causes a fire department to respond
will result in a $500 fine under the
new ordinance. Repeat offenders
would face a $750 fine. All fines will
be deposited into a fund for reimbursement to the individual departments for their response to the fire.
The supervisors hope the ordinance will improve safety for residents and their property by making
people think twice about lighting a
fire and walking away.
“We’re for limited government
and we realize this is just one more
rule, but we were put in a position
where we had to do something,” said
Eberling.
Fire departments stayed busy in
April responding to multiple grass
fires throughout the county. Many
of the fires stemmed from controlled
burns that got out of control due to
dangerously dry and windy conditions, which prompted the supervi-
sors to investigate a new policy.
The supervisors developed a draft
policy in mid-May. They decided to
move forward with the ordinance af-
ter receiving positive feedback from
local fire departments.
“I think it’s a good thing,” said
board Chairman Mike Nolte.

Lowery uses the Parelli method
to teach riding. She doesn’t use saddles or bridles for new riders, but
Luna wears a rope halter with a lead
rope that loops to make reins.
“You can get tangled up in a
saddle, so I don’t let beginners use
them,” Lowery explained. “They really learn balance riding bareback or
on a pad. A saddle has to be earned.”
There is a set of bright red stairs
with three steps that sits in the middle of the arena. Wearda led Luna
over to the steps and climbed up.
“It’s OK to ask Luna for help,”
Lowery said as she showed the student how to coax the horse over to
the steps so she could mount.
Wearda sat relaxed on the horse
as she rode in a figure eight pattern
around the barrels. She trotted in a
zigzag through a series of cones that
her instructor arranged in the sand.
The bareback pad slipped to one
side, but Lowery instructed Wearda to press her hand down on the
horse’s back to steady the pad.
After the lesson, Wearda stood

“I love riding Luna and seeing how
she reacts to things I do. Horses are
amazing!” she said as she gave the
horse a light kiss. “Luna has gotten to
know me and is easier to work with. I
think we understand each other.”
The special relationship was a rewarding sight for Lowery.
“I wanted to give something back

Evaluating ethanol’s
uncertain future
The Environmental Protection Agency
ruffled feathers last week after it unveiled a
he
controversial proposal that would scale back the
ti ’
required amount of renewable fuel blended into the nation’s
gasoline supply next year. Though alternative energy sources like ethanol will be around for a long while the EPA’s
plan creates serious questions about the future of an industry vital to rural economies like ours.
The EPA’s proposal would require oil refineries to blend
17.4 billion gallons of renewable fuels into the nation’s gas
supply next year as part of the Renewable Fuel Standard – a
law passed in 2007 that sets annual targets to increase the
amount of biofuels used in America. A large majority of the
proposed target number would come from ethanol, one of the
most important sections of Iowa’s agriculture industry. However, the EPA’s suggestion was almost five billion gallons
less than the original number set by Congress. The proposal drew considerable scrutiny from the biofuel industry and
grain producers across the country, but the EPA has pushed
back by claiming Congress’ original target is no longer compatible with nationwide demand for renewable fuels.
All this back-and-forth bickering between the EPA and
industry leaders is relatively frivolous in the short term.
An article in Saturday’s Des Moines Register pointed out
the agency’s 17.4 billion gallon target number for 2016 is
still 1.5 billion gallons more than 2014’s overall production,
meaning the biofuel industry won’t be cutting back next
year. However, it leads to some interesting talking points about the country’s
willingness to continue investing in
ethanol and other renewable fuels.
The

anticipated.
these factors have combined to
create a rather stagnant market for
renewable fuels like ethanol, consequently necessitating the need for a rolled back production target.
Various politicians have contested these claims and asserted the EPA is overstepping its legal authority. The Renewable Fuel Standard requires Congress to set nationwide
biofuel targets, but this rule seems to create a rather unstable foundation for ethanol and other renewable fuels. If the
EPA’s claims are to be believed, it appears the government
is creating an inflated market for certain biofuels by setting
target numbers that exceed realistic consumer demand.
However, the Renewable Fuel Standard wasn’t passed
with bipartisan support for no reason. Our country needs
clean renewable fuels that reduce our dependence on foreign
imports. Petroleum-based fuels are a finite resource, and biofuels help curb our dependence by allowing us to produce
our own energy grown right here in America. Democrats,
Republicans and almost everyone in between agrees that we
need to strengthen domestic energy production, and renewable fuels like ethanol are one way to do that.
Nonetheless, the EPA’s 2016 proposal could be a harbinger
of bad news. The agency’s rhetoric seems to hint towards
additional rollbacks in the Renewable Fuel Standard’s target numbers. Any future reductions would no doubt affect
grain producers in Iowa and sends ripples through the rural
economy. Ethanol has been a boon to our state, but the EPA’s
current position seems to jeopardize expanded production by
cutting support for the future of alternative fuels.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Help needed for grave decorations
Letter to the Editor:
For about 10 years on Memorial
Day, my husband, daughter and I
have put artificial flowers on graves
dating 1905 and older in the Hampton Cemetery. We began because
most of those graves are never dec-
orated, and that’s just sad.
Each year after Memorial Day we
collect the flowers and reuse them
as much as possible the next year.
We would like someone or a group
to take over this tradition, or at least
help us do it in the future.
It doesn’t take very long, nor does
it require a large group of people.
Please contact me if you’re interested.

Keeping higher ed affordable
will strengthen Iowa’s economy
For many, school does not stop
with high school graduation. Increasingly, good jobs require higher education or worker training. Iowans of
all ages and backgrounds need access
to college to build a better future for
themselves and their families.
Ideally, these oppor t u nities
should be as affordable as possible.
Taking on massive student debt
is another roadblock to achieving success, to strengthening our
middle class and to growing our
economy. Iowa students already
graduate with more student loan
debt than in most other states. That
leads some graduates to leave the
state in search of higher paying
jobs elsewhere.
Community colleges work with
employers to address local skilled
worker shortages and provide an affordable path to a four-year degree.
Senate Democrats propose investing
$8 million more in Iowa’s community colleges.
THE
RAGAN
REPORT
Amanda
Ragan
At our three state universities,
there will be a tuition freeze for instate students for a third-straight
year under the Senate’s budget proposal. Senate Democrats also support an increase in tuition grants for
Iowa students attending our private
colleges.
The budget approved by the Senate Democrats proves we can invest
in education at all levels and balance
the budget responsibly. The Senate
does it with an overall budget the
same size as the budget proposed by
Gov. Terry Branstad.
Education remains at the fore-
front of discussions in the Legislature, but with the start of summer
vacation, here are some ways to enjoy it:
· Free fishing, June 5-7 – Iowa
residents may fish without a license
as part of Iowa’s free fishing weekend. DNR staff will be at popular
fishing spots across the state to help
beginner anglers get started. They
will assist with setting up fishing
poles and distribute small kits with
basic tackle for panfishing, along
with tips and a few fun items.
· Iowa’s historic sites – Learn
about the early inhabitants of Iowa,
see the homes and lifestyles of significant Iowa politicians, discover
the trade of blacksmithing, visit the
iconic American Gothic House, and
get to know more about Lewis and
Clark. For information on all of Iowa’s historic sites and to plan a visit,

“Hatred” isn’t even worth hating
Two shooting games were recently released.
One is Nintendo’s “Splatoon,” a
game where you play a humanoid
squid child in a series of perpetual
paintball battles against other humanoid squid children. It’s a lot of
fun.
The other is “Hatred,” a game
where you play an unrepentant mass
shooter out to cause as much human
misery as possible.
Guess which one has received
more attention.
By all accounts, “Hatred” is an utterly unremarkable twin stick shooter. Graphically, it’s pretty enough but
nothing to write home about. From a
gameplay standpoint, none of its mechanics particularly stand out. Mechanically there are dozens of games
out there that do the same thing it
does, but with zombies or geometric
shapes rather than people.
It’s just not that interesting a
game.
What is interesting is how the industry has reacted to it.
When “Hatred” was announced
back in October, Valve initially refused to distribute the game
on Steam based purely on the announcement trailer. This move
sparked a controversy all its own,
until Valve owner Gabe Newell
overturned the decision and apologized to the developer. Ironically,
Valve’s attempt to shut the game out
of the PC market all but ensured it
would sell far more copies than it
would rightfully deserve.
In January, “Hatred” received
an “Adults Only” rating from the
ESRB, making it the third game
in history to receive an AO rating
based purely on violent content. An
interesting decision considering
games with far more graphic violence have gotten through with a less
serious “Mature” rating.
Finally, days before the gaming
media received their review copies,
Twitch.tv adjusted their streaming
policy, banning any AO rated game,
in a transparent move to prevent the
streaming of “Hatred” on its ser-
AGE OF
THE GEEK

Fischer
vice. This is in spite of the fact that
Twitch already has age-gates to keep
underage users away from mature
content. (Not that Twitch would ever
go through the trouble of verifying a
users actual age.)
All of this would probably cause
one to think that “Hatred” is possessed by some kind of supernatural entity. That it’s filled with such
graphic violence and gore that it
would drive mad any mind that
wasn’t already deranged. A game
that appeals to only the deepest and
darkest fantasies.
The reality, and this may be
the most entertaining thing about
the game, is that the violence isn’t
even that bad. Even the over-thetop premise that inspired this mass
pushback is barely worthy of note.
Yes, you play a murderous sociopath out for the blood of the innocent, but you’ll find nothing in
“Hatred” that you can’t find in other socially acceptable games. Mass
slaughter of innocent civilians? The
“Rampage” franchise is all about
cartoony monsters causing as much
Godzilla-like destruction as possible. Graphic violence? The gore in
“Hatred” is downright subdued compared to “Mortal Kombat.” Were the
enemies Nazis or other “bad guys,”
nobody would blink an eye. Playing as an unrepentant killer? That’s
hardly a big deal considering games
like “Assassin’s Creed” and “Grand
Theft Auto” are among the industry’s biggest franchises.
The only time any of these games
even flirted with an AO rating was
when “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” left a sexually explicit minigame buried in the game’s code.
Because running over people with
stolen cars is fine, so long as the
criminal is celibate.
The ironic part is that all of
this outrage is a response to what
amounts to little more than a handful of cheesy lines of dialogue in
between stages. Once the game actually begins, there isn’t much to
distinguish it from any other game
of its kind.
I’d almost call it a bait-andswitch.
All of the handwringing over this
game and it barely delivers on its
own premise. From what I’ve seen,
the game isn’t horrifying or shocking. It’s mostly just boring.
It seems that, more than anything
else, “Hatred” has been a test for the
video game industry. And the industry failed.
In a world where “The Human
Centipede” can be watched on Netf lix, the video game industry has
completely overreacted to a game
that should have quietly passed into
obscurity.
Of course, it’s entirely likely
that this was by design. Thanks to
the Streisand Effect, the developers
of “Hatred” will make a tidy profit from all the additional publicity
the game has received from people
shouting from the rooftops about
how nobody should be exposed to it.
That you’re reading about the game
in this column shows how effective a
tactic it is.
And thanks to this success, it’s all
but guaranteed that somebody else
will try the same thing, pushing the
boundary even further. The campaign to shut this game down has
only facilitated more of its kind.
If the gaming industry wants to
present itself as a mature medium,
it needs to stop trying to shut down
these kind of games and learn to just
accept them and direct their attention to more deserving titles. Like
“Splatoon.”
Travis Fischer is a news writer
for Mid-America Publishing and is
neither a squid nor a kid, but enjoys
“Splatoon” nonetheless.
American exceptionalism has a
broader meaning than “we rock!” It
has come to mean “except for.”
We, the community of humans
on earth, really are God’s creation,
right? You won’t convince me that
He made a special race within a
compartment shaped like the United States. I think the term American
exceptionalism should be used to
describe how we are the first nation
to make an agreement defining the
rights of each person as inherent
upon our existence, as opposed to
rights being granted by an institution
or person.
With a collective
bargaining agreement, a
business owner and the
employees negotiate an
agreement that works
for them both.
This rule is what I use to anchor
every opinion in The Alternative.
The fact that it has become so easy to
make exceptions to the rule of individual rights has gotten us in a lot of
trouble. The word “individual” is the
key to understanding the deviations
from the rules that cause trouble.
Whether a group is villain or victim, there should never be a cause
that sacrifices the rights of individuals to benefit any group.
There was a story in the Los Angeles Times last week that quoted labor leader (and leader of the fight for
the minimum wage increase) Rusty
Hicks as saying, “With a collective
bargaining agreement, a business
owner and the employees negotiate
an agreement that works for them
both. The agreement allows each
party to prioritize what is important
to them...”
But they don’t need no stinking
collective bargaining agreement.
The employer wants an employee
and the employee wants a job. Both
parties have a choice.
What the union wants is a piece
of the pie (dues to pay unnecessary
bureaucrats). They know that workers can negotiate with employers on
an individual basis. They even know
the business will be improved with
such an arrangement, making jobs
more secure.
This is one small instance where
the benefits of individual rights
trump the rights of groups.
A much bigger deal is the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
The details of this pact are secret,
but our politicians have received
more than a million dollars from the
U.S. Business Coalition for TPP. If
you expect these companies not to
anticipate a return on their donations
to this secret agreement, then let’s
see what is so secret and why.
The most important consideration
with so-called free trade pacts is the
necessity for any agreement in the
first place. The agreements, by definition, violate individual rights because they require individuals to act
within rules that govern us as groups.
We can trade as individuals unless
we think we need to force people in
other countries to trade with us on
our terms instead of their own.
Free trade agreements and union
contracts, in violating individual
rights, limit our ability to find the
most efficient use of any resource. It
is easy to see how this reduces our
standard of living. But without an
example of a truly free economy it is
impossible to see how much. So we
are complacent and accepting of the
exceptions to our liberty while the
schemers who know how to manipulate the law get rich and undeservedly get credit for their good work.
With a system of law only designed to protect individual rights at
the point those rights are in danger,
instead of a complex mess of social engineering, the justice system
would be able to do what it was originally intended to do.

Iowa lawmakers still crawling towards compromise
The calendar has flipped to June
and our work in the legislature continues. You may be wondering why
this session has gone into overtime.
Simply put, we are fighting to ensure the long-term economic health
of our state is not compromised and
funding for services to Iowans remains viable year after year.
When negotiations began this
year, over $200 million separated us
from the Senate Majority party. This
level of spending would require us to
spend more than we take in this year,
and therefore risk putting our state
in a dangerous economic position.
I think most would agree that with
$180 million in new revenue, we
should be able to fund the priorities
of Iowans. If not, we have a spending
problem, not a revenue problem.
A question I often ask myself is,
when will the next fiscal crisis or
economic emergency occur in our
state? Obviously, that is something
we are unable to predict. Therefore,
the only prudent thing to do is be
responsible and plan ahead. Rather
than spend every penny, we should
make sure the state is prepared for
what the future may bring. For example, it will be some time before
we can fully realize the impact the
avian flu will have on the jobs and

economy of our state.
Despite our budgeting differences, we are meeting regularly with the
Senate Majority party to find compromise on the areas in which we
vary and put together a budget that is
responsible and sustainable well into
the future.
Not too long ago, Iowans experienced the ramifications of irresponsible budgeting practices. Due to
careless budgeting decisions prior
to us coming into the Majority in
the House and under the previous
administration, Iowans saw a $500
million property tax increase, the
state borrowed $800 million that
costs taxpayers double to pay back,
and there was a $700 million spending gap for the new governor and
legislature to fix.
Upon coming into the Majority,
we adopted a set of core budgeting
principles that have guided our state
HAMPTON CHRONICLE
A Division of Mid-America
Publishing Corporation
into a healthier and more certain
economic time. We continue to stand
by these principles and will not return to the poor budgeting decisions
of the past. We are committed to
spending less than we take in and the
practice of using one-time money
for ongoing expenditures has been
abandoned.
We have stood by these principles
for the last four legislative sessions
and have never failed to find common ground with the Senate Majority party. We expect that to continue
this year.
Going forward, we will not waiver from these principles that have
served our state well. Just like a
family’s personal budget, Iowans
expect government to live within its
means. Every dollar the state spends
that we don’t have jeopardizes the
financial security of Iowa taxpayers
and families. We know you expect
us to pass a responsible and sustainable budget that meets the needs of
Iowans, and that is a commitment
we will deliver on.
If you have any feedback or questions about the budget or other issues before us, please do not hesitate
to contact me. I can be reached at

Cars and teens of the late 1940’s
BY MICKEY FERRIS
When I see a group of teenagers
sitting around a table in a restaurant
not talking, all texting on their expensive phones, I can’t help but think

about what it was like 67 years ago
for a 16-year-old.
In the late 1940’s when we
weren’t working or in school, we
kept busy. In the summer we swam
at Harriman’s Park; the water was
clean, if you didn’t count a few floating cow pies. The boys and some
married or older couples swam nude
(horrors) at Blue Bottom, west of
Harriman’s Park in Spring Creek.
At night we swam at Beeds Lake and
then had a banana split at Douglass’s
or a hamburger up town. In winter
we skated at the cemetery where Mr.
White manned the warm-up shed,
went to dances and hung out at Lutze’s Café or the Spa.
We all had curfews and none of us
had a car. We had to borrow the family car, which meant we had to be in
our parents’ good graces. Many a
date night when we wanted to go to
the movies, my boyfriend (now husband) would pick me up, drive back
to his parents and park the car and
we would walk to town.
Now this was not all bad – it was
pretty dark and you could hold hands
and even kiss without anyone knowing. After the movie, we walked to
his house checked in with his parents
and then he could drive me home to
our farm. He had to be back at his
house within a certain time, but we
still managed to have a good time.
All this because he was seldom in
his parent’s good graces!
Even if he was not being controlled, we both had curfews and
never had unlimited use of cars. I
can remember only one time when I
was allowed to take the car to a basketball game out of town at Chapin. The parking lots and streets at
the high school housed teacher’s
cars only. Students did not drive to
school, they walked or rode the bus.
We all knew one boy who had inherited some money, quit school and
bought a convertible. When school
let out, there he would be showing
off his big car. Our parents considered him a bad influence and a menace, as if we had the money to buy a
big car and not work.
During school time and sports,
the coach did a bed check on his
athletes at 10 p.m., and if he caught
us out we were told to go home immediately and did. Sometimes he
followed us home or he drove in
my folk’s driveway, where we were
parked and honked.
Our use of the family phone
(there was only one in the house) was
monitored by our parents and very
public because it was right where everyone could listen, plus I was on a
party line. If we wanted to tell our
best friend something we walked to
her house and whispered – the telephone was not for secrets.

We walked a lot and observed. As
a result we usually knew things that
were going on in town before our
parents did.
We were all skinny. When you
walked as much as we did, you
walked off what you ate. The only
time any of us were driven to school
was if it was 20 below zero, and even
then you had to live blocks from
school before it was even considered.
We all worked at some job in the
summer, had chores at home and
many had after-school jobs. We were
taught responsibility at an early age
and had to pull our own “weight”
– earn our way and did not know
what entitlement meant. Some of my
classmates contributed to their family’s income. I was lucky, as I was
allowed to keep what I earned from
de-tasseling corn and used the money to buy my school clothes, school
supplies and books. Even those from
wealthy families worked and followed rules.
We showed respect to teachers
and those in authority or faced major punishment by our parents. As a
direct result we matured early and
learned to be responsible and independent. Sure, we got in trouble for
shooting off firecrackers and stealing
watermelons when we were young,
but we were able to support ourselves
at an early age and to “have to move
home” was considered shameful. Our
parents expected us to live within
our income and take care of our own
family, which we did.
Every one of us could add, subtract and make change from age
seven on. We knew the names of all
our presidents, our states and their
capitols. We knew the history of our
country, our state, what was going
on in the country and were very patriotic.
I am highly amused by those who
stress how we should all learn to
be “green.” We lived the so-called
green lifestyle. Before things were
expensive or there was a chance of
running out, we were required by
our parents to not waste food, water,
electricity, gas or even time. Clothing was cared for, repaired and accessorized to be used again. To this
day I have trouble throwing things
away or wasting anything, as I can
still hear “waste not, want not.”
The boys I knew had a first love
and it wasn’t girls. They hung out
evenings at the local gas station
where there were cars, just so they
could be around them and learn. The
gas station owner or manager was
their first adult friend. He let them
learn as much as they could soak up
and put up with being the focal point
of their practical jokes.
As a result of their passion for
cars, should one’s car stall near a
bunch of teenage boys (this was back
before cell phones), they would rush
over, say “pop the hood,” and fix
what was wrong. After being around
these young men and my own father,
I developed a lifelong distrust of any
man who did not know more about
cars than I did.
Cars did not all look alike back
then – you could spot a Ford, Olds,
Chevy etc. a mile away. Even a fouryear-old could tell the sheriff what
brand of car left the scene and the
exact year of the car. Every local car
in town had a name: Tom Smith’s
car, Joe Jones’s car, Miss Mable’s
car, etc. If you didn’t want everyone
to know your business, you walked.
However, there were not as many
cars as there are today and people did
not hop in their car to drive here and
there. My gym class once walked
from the high school (now a church)
down Highway 65 to Harriman’s
Park without meeting a single car!
In my old age I may be slightly
electronically challenged, but I am so
grateful for what my parents and that
era gave me. I was mature enough to
take care of myself after graduation
and college and was never dependent
on my parents. I am also grateful that
I can socialize with other people, am
never bored and have developed lifelong friends. I think it is a gift and
feel sorry for those who will never
know the life we had.

Note: Contaminants with dates indicate results
from the most recent testing done in accordance
with regulations.
DEFINITIONS
• Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) – The
highest level of a contaminant that is allowed
in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the
MCLGs as feasible using the best available
treatment technology.
• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG)
-- The level of a contaminant in drinking water
below which there is no known or expected risk
to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
• ppb -- parts per billion.
• ppm -- parts per million.
• pCi/L – picocuries per liter
• N/A – Not applicable
• ND -- Not detected
• RAA – Running Annual Average
• LRAA – Locational Running Annual Average
• Treatment Technique (TT) – A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
• Action Level (AL) – The concentration of a
contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal
(MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or
expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reÀect
the bene¿ts of the use of disinfectants to control
microbial contaminants.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level
(MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant
allowed in drinking water. There is convincing
evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
• SGL – Single Sample Result
• TCR – Total Coliform Rule
GENERAL INFORMATION
Drinking water, including bottled water, may
reasonably be expected to contain at least small
amounts of some contaminants. The presence
of contaminants does not necessarily indicate
that water posed a health risk. More information
about contaminants or potential health effects
can be obtained by calling the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline
(800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons
such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ
transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/
CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen
the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the
Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause
serious health problems, especially for pregnant
women and young children. Lead in drinking
water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home
plumbing. HAMPTON MUNI WATER WORKS
is responsible for providing high quality drinking
water, but cannot control the variety of materials
used in plumbing components. When your water
has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by Àushing
your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish
to have your water tested. Information on lead
in drinking water, testing methods and steps you
can take to minimize exposure is available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.
epa.gov/safewater/lead.

This water supply obtains its water from the
buried sand and gravel of the Buried Sand and
Gravel aquifer. The Buried Sand and Gravel
aquifer was determined to be highly susceptible
to contamination because the characteristics of
the aquifer and overlying materials provide little
protection from contamination at the land surface. The Buried Sand and Gravel wells will be
highly susceptible to surface contaminants such
as leaking underground storage tanks, contaminant spills, and excess fertilizer application. A
detailed evaluation of your source water was
completed by the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources, and is available from the Water Operator at 641-456-2124.
This water supply obtains its water from the
sandstone and dolomite of the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer. The Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer was determined to have low susceptibility
to contamination because the characteristics
of the aquifer and overlying materials provide
natural protection from contaminants at the land
surface. The Cambrian-Ordovician well will have
low susceptibility to surface contaminants such
as leaking underground storage tanks, contaminant spills, and excess fertilizer application. A

In the loss to G-R, Dylan

Close calls at state track
ƒ Area

spot away from
earning medals
BY KRISTI NIXON
DES MOINES – Save for a repeat
performance by Drew Engebretson
in the 800, the area was thwarted for
medals by a few close calls.
Engebretson, who finished sixth a
year ago coming out of the first section, was among the second section
and got his career best time in the
event by five-tenths of a second.
However, it didn’t allow him to a
move up in the medal position, taking sixth once more.
“My strategy coming in was to
take it easy the first lap,” Engebretson said, “get a feel for it and then
kick it in and give everything.”
He added that he was hoping for
better, time-wise, although he did get
his PR at 1 minutes, 58.11 seconds.
By virtue of Engebretson’s finish
alone, the Warhawks finished in a
five-way tie for 41st with three points.
Jacob Hansen, who ran in the first
section of the 800 and improved his
PR by four seconds, came back and
worked his way to a ninth-place finish in the 1,600, also on Saturday,
May 23. That was a PR for the sophomore by more than 11 seconds at
4:32.50.
“Pretty tired, I guess,” Hansen
said after finishing the second race
of the day, “but I made two PRs today, so I’m happy with that. I had a
little nerves this morning, but I got
that out of the way. It was great running the last race with Peyton here.
He was a good mentor, I’m going to
miss him.
“Usually I’m his pacer, but today
I got out on my own a little.”
Also just missing a placing was
senior thrower Madison Mason, who
was ninth overall out of the first flight
in the discus on Friday, May 22.
Her first attempt, 117 feet, 3 inches was eight shy of reaching the finals. She was better than six in the
second f light, but two in the first
flight threw a little farther, including
the eighth-place finisher who made
just one throw without fouling, her
first at 117-11.
Considering, Mason was happy
with her throws. Her last attempt

went 114 after fouling on her second.
“I would have made the finals
eight inches in both (the shot and discus),” Mason said. “We have a tough
class here. And someone’s good day,
someone’s bad day. I felt like I had a

It was a tough field with one of

“This week, it was supposed to

texted me each morning, ‘good luck,

Other area finishes over Friday
and Saturday included West Fork’s
Peyton Twedt’s 15th-place finish in
the high jump, and was 20 th in the
1,600. Courtney Larson was 11th in
the girls’ high jump and the Warhawk distance medley relay improved on its time by three seconds
in finishing 21st.
H-D’s Cassy Miller posted a time
of 16.50 in the 100 hurdles for 18th

20th in the 1A discus at 123-9 while

Jimmie Johnson, welcome to the club. With his overtime
victory in Sunday’s FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks
at Dover International Speedway, Johnson became the
fifth driver to win 10 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at a
single track. He joining Richard Petty, David Pearson, Darrell
Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Sr. in sharing that distinction.
Johnson’s triumph was his series-best fourth of the season
and the 74th of his career, eighth most all-time and two
behind NASCAR Hall of Famer Earnhardt. Unlike many of
the six-time champion’s past victories at the Monster Mile,
Johnson didn’t take the top spot until he beat race runner-up
Kevin Harvick to the stripe for a restart on Lap 383.

Eliason in 2nd
game of sweep
BY KRISTI NIXON
SHEFFIELD – West Fork coach
Lance Thompson knew he would
need Jacob Eliason to go deep in
the second game of a doubleheader
against Class 1A second-ranked Mason City Newman.
After taxing his team’s arms in
the opener in which the Knights
more than batted around in the
second inning to post an 18-3 win
over the Warhawks in five, Eliason
nearly went the distance in the second-game 10-3 loss.
“He pitched pretty well,” Thompson said of Eliason. “We didn’t know
for sure. We know Collin Arndt is
our No. 1 and we are looking for our
No. 2, 3 and 4 pitchers for the season. It was good that we had a doubleheader today, so we could use a
few more pitchers and get a better
take on it, but Jacob did a really good
job of pitching.
“He hasn’t done much pitching
for us on varsity level here, so he did
a good job of coming out and giving
us a chance.”
Whereas Newman had a 4-0 lead
after one in the opener, it then saw
the No. 2 hitter, Ben Fitzgerald, hit
two home runs in the second, one
a two-run bomb to center off of the
second pitcher he faced in the frame;

“For us, Dawson Zeitler started
the game,” Thompson said, “unfortunately, for him, today wasn’t one
of his better outings. He’s done a
much better job in the past. For his
first time out, he’ll get better and be
able to bounce back from it, as well.”
Only one of Newman’s runs in
the second game were earned as the
Warhawks committed five errors.
Eliason could have gone the entire game, but left with one out to go
after one of the errors put runners at
the corners in the seventh with four
runs already in.
“We have some other (pitchers)
who were going to try to get in to
the game today,” Thompson said,
“but Jacob was throwing so well, we
didn’t take him out because he was
doing well. We were not going to
take him out to try some other ones.
We wanted to see how far he could
go and see what his arm strength
was.”
Prior to that seventh inning, West
Fork was within striking distance
at 6-3, as Christian Ames’ hot shot
off of Newman’s second baseman’s
glove drove in Drew Engebretson,
but he was cut down when caught in
a pickle.
Eliason was also the subject of
some controversy as he was called
out trying to steal second base in the
third, ending in the West Fork assistant coach being thrown out of the
game.

like we could have and should have

kinks that we have.
“We just need to put more contact

to put the ball in play and give yourself a chance.”

The Kiwanis Club of Hampton presented T-shirts to fourth and fifth
grade students at Hampton-Dumont Middle School last week as part of
the Bringing Up Grades program. SUBMITTED PHOTO
H-D students
abuzz over “BUGs”
“BUG-zinga!”
That was the theme for this year’s
BUGs program conducted by the
Kiwanis Club of Hampton, who
awarded T-shirts to 74 fourth graders and 96 fifth graders last Thursday during the Fifth Annual “BUGs”
T-Shirt Awards Assembly at Hampton-Dumont Middle School.
BUGs is an acronym for “Bringing Up Grades,” an academic
acheivement program developed
by Kiwanis International and implemented by local clubs at schools
across the country. BUGs is designed to recognize students who
raise their grades, maintain good
grades and pass benchmarks from
one grading period to the next.
One hundred seventy-six students earned BUG honors by raising
grades, achieveing benchmarks or
maintaining good standards in the
third quarter of the school year.
Each honoree received an official
yellow “BUG-zinga” T-shirt with
a lady bug drawing by Alex Hernandez on the front and artwork of
the word “BUGs” using insects as
different letters drawn by Katelyn
McRoberts on the back. Both students are fourth graders.
The BUGs program is one of
many ways the Kiwanis Club of
Hampton follows the Kiwanis International motto of serving the
children of the world. Kiwanis is a
global organization dedicated to
changing the world, one child and
one community at a time.
This year marks the 100 th anniversary of Kiwanis. The Kiwanis
Club of Hampton also sponsors the
Key Club at the high school along
with the Builders Club at the middle
school, teaching volunteerism and
developing future leaders through
service.
Roadside ditch mowing
prohibited until July 15
The Secondary Roads Department is reminding residents to
protect roadside habitat for nesting game birds and song birds this
spring and early summer.
Accord i ng to Iowa Code
314.17, mowing roadside ditches
is restricted until July 15, to protect young pheasants and other
ground-nesting birds until they are
ready to f ledge. The law, which
applies to county secondary roads
as well as state primary and interstate highways, also protects habitat for pollinators and other beneficial insects, including crop-pest
predators.
Exceptions for visibility and
weed control are built into the law,
but non-essential mowing – including cutting for hay – is prohibited.
According to Iowa Code 314.17,
mowing roadside vegetation on
the rights-of-way or medians on
any primary highway, interstate
highway or secondary road prior
to July 15 is prohibited, except as
follows:
• Within 200 yards of an inhabited dwelling.
• On right-of-way within one
mile of the corporate limits of a city.
• To promote native species of
vegetation or other long-lived and
adaptable vegetation.
• To establish control of damaging insect populations, noxious

the rest of the roadside for the
birds.

Franklin
County Relay
For Life
is July 25
For more than a decade, Relay For
Life of Franklin Country has raised
money in support of the American
Cancer Society’s vision of a world
with less cancer and more birthdays.
So far more than 2,500 participants
have combined to walk thousands of
miles during
t h is sp e cial
fundraiser.
Some participants have
been involved
with the event
since the first
Relay was
held in Franklin County. Others are joining for the
very first time, but there is a story
behind every Relay participant that
has been touched by cancer in some
way.
Relay brings together friends,
families, businesses, hospitals,
schools, faith-based groups – people
from all walks of life – all aimed at
celebrating the lives of those who
have had cancer, remembering those
lost and fighting back against the
disease. It is time to finish the fight!
This year’s event is scheduled for
Saturday, July 25 from 11 a.m.-11
p.m. at the Hampton-Dumont High
School track. Relay For Life events
are held as individuals and teams
gather at an athletic track, park or
other gathering area, with the goal
of keeping at least one team member
on the track or pathway at all times.
Teams do most of their fundraising
beforehand, but some teams also
hold creative fundraisers at their Relay event.
For more information on how to
get involved, visit www.relayforlife.
org/franklincountyia or call Sheri
Bogue at (641) 892-4260. The American Cancer Society combines an
unyielding passion with more than
a century of experience to save lives
and end suffering from cancer. As a
global grassroots force of more than
three million volunteers, we fight for
every birthday threatened by every
cancer in every community.

FGH urges locals to
schedule back-to-school
appointments early
As students and their parents
move into a busy summer, the staff
of Franklin General Hospital and
Franklin Medical Center urges them
to prepare for fall by making their
“back-to-school” appointments now.
The Franklin Medical Center
clinics will soon make the transition
to an electronic health record, with
an expected “go live” for the new
program in September. This means
paper charts and files for patients
will be turned into electronic records that can be pulled up on a computer, and our staff and providers
will be dedicating time to training
and implementation as the summer
progresses.
Due to the timing of this transition, clinic appointments will be
limited during the month of August.
The ideal time for “back to school”
appointments will be June or July.
This is especially relevant for stu-
Janssen named
to Honors List
at Graceland
dents who will require:
· A student athletic wellness
physical.
· Immunizations and well child
visit for kindergarten.
· Immunizations for middle
school.
· College student physical and
immunizations.
“Meeting the health and wellness
needs of our local students is important to us,” said FMC Clinic Manager
Lee Elbert. “Our goal is to reach as
many families as possible regarding
this issue before summer sets in, to
help prepare students for a healthy
school year in the fall.”
To schedule an appointment at
FMC-Hampton, please call (641)
456-5062; for FMC-Dows, call (515)
852-4113; for FMC-Latimer, (641)

School is out for the summer, so
that means the Summer Reading
Program is right around the corner.
Our program will run from June
11-July 23. Our theme this year is
“Every Hero Has a Story.” Registration for the program begins June 5.
We have some great speakers lined
up this year. We are going to learn
about local heroes, animal heroes
and even insect heroes. Our program wouldn’t be complete without
some superheroes, too.
We are encouraging the kids to
keep reading all summer by having
a prize each week when they turn in
the minutes they read. Our programs
will be Thursday afternoons from
1:30-2:30 p.m. We will have a movie
after the program for any children
who would like to stay.
Our first program will be June
11 with Kiley Winterberg from the
Butler County Sheriff’s Office and
the drug dog. Movie Day for Adults
will move to the second and fourth
Wednesday of the month in June and
July because of the Summer Reading Program. There will be no Lego
League on Wednesday during the
summer.
This year we are hoping to expand our teen program. We had our
first Teen Summer Reading Program last year with a very small
group, so we are hoping to add a few
more this year. The teens will meet
after the children’s program from
4:30-5:30 p.m. They will also have
weekly prizes and food! Isn’t that
what every teen wants? I know my
son does.
We have some really fun activities planned, so I hope last year’s
group will tell their friends and
bring them along. You never know,
we might even be able to talk our favorite tutor, Mr. Menken, in to joining the fun.
Be a reading hero this summer
and power up with books!

Simple Seafood Recipes
FAMILY FEATURES
Submitted by Diane (Gossman) Penning of Rochester, Minn. Diane
claims Thompson, Iowa as her hometown, and reads Mid-America
Marketplace in the Buffalo Center Tribune.
This recipe reminds me of all the fabulous cooks (lunchroom
ladies) who prepared the meals for all K-12 students at the
Thompson Community School, Thompson, IA in the ‘60s and
‘70s.
I personally enjoyed the delicious, homemade brownies
with the thick chocolate frosting. Other alumni talk about the
delicious chili and fresh cinnamon rolls, grilled cheese sandwich
wand tomato soup, homemade hamburger pizza, hamburger gravy
on mashed potatoes, sloppy joe sandwiches, chicken gravy on
biscuits, lettuce sandwiches (yes, lettuce) and all the other tasty
foods they prepared from scratch. We were fortunate to have
these lovely ladies fill our tummies and keep us going during
each busy school day!
Thanks, lunchroom ladies: Geneva Thorland, Alma Thomas,
Evelyn Tordoff, Mary Ryerson, Marge Thorland, Donna Lande,
Edna Sime, Cora Lura, Alice Hagenson and Evonne Larson.
(Hope I didn’t forget anyone.)
—Diane Penning

f you find your recipe repertoire growing stale, now
is the perfect time to experiment with new seafood
recipes your family will love.
Seafood makes a delicious centerpiece of any meal,
and preparing seafood can actually be quite simple.
Pan-steaming is one easy preparation that leaves the
seafood moist and makes a quick and easy sauce, too.
The technique, demonstrated in this recipe for a rich,
buttery lemon sauce, is perfect for Alaska Sockeye
salmon, as well as other species, including Alaska halibut or Alaska cod.
At the grocery store, look for high-quality fish, such
as Alaska Seafood, which is additive-free, lean and
full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Sustainable
practices used in fishing Alaska salmon, shellfish and
whitefish varieties also mean you can feel good about
serving Alaska Seafood to your family.
For more delicious recipes and preparation tips, visit

Lunchroom Ladies Brownies
1 c. butter
½ c. baking cocoa
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
4 eggs
4 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts
Mix and spread into 9x13 inch baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°. (Check at 20 minutes, so you
don’t overbake.)
Icing
1/4 c. softened butter
¼ c. canned milk
(regular milk is fine)
¼ c. baking cocoa
3 c. powdered sugar
Dash of salt
4 Alaska Salmon or whitefish fillets
(4 to 6 oz. each), fresh or thawed
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup white wine (sauvignon blanc
or chardonnay)
2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin
olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs
Remove seafood fillets from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking.
Fill 12-inch skillet with 1 inch of
water. Add lemon slices and bring to
a simmer over medium-high heat.
Rinse seafood in cold water and pat
dry; season with salt and pepper.
Add seafood to pan, skin side
down. Cover pan tightly and cook for
4 minutes, or until seafood is lightly
translucent in the center, checking at
thickest part. Remove seafood from
pan and let rest a minute; it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove lemon slices from steaming
liquid.
Create quick reduction sauce with
remaining liquid by adding wine,
butter, garlic and herbs to pan. Combine ingredients and continue to
simmer, allowing liquid to reduce to
desired thickness.
To serve, transfer lemon slices and
fillets to plates; drizzle fillets with
sauce.

Gov. Terry Branstad proclaimed
June as Invasive Species Awareness
Month to draw attention to the threat
Iowa’s woodlands, wildlands and
waterways are under from unwanted
pests.
Each year in Iowa, millions of
dollars, both public and private, are
spent to control invasive plants, insects, animals and diseases. Invasive
species threaten Iowa’s lands and
waters by competing with and destroying native plants and animals
and by disrupting complex natural
ecosystems.
Emerald ash borer, zebra mussels,
oriental bittersweet, Eurasian watermilfoil, and bighead and silver carp
make the news as they increase their
presence in the state.
Awareness of invasive species is
an important first step towards behavior change which can prevent the
introduction and spread of invasive
species in Iowa. Invasive Species
Awareness Month is an opportunity
for government to join forces with
business, industry, conservation
groups, recreation groups, community organization and cities to take
action against the introduction and
spread of invasive species.
For more information on Iowa’s
invasive species and what you can
do to help, visit the www.iowadnr.
gov and visit the fisheries and forestry web pages.

BY BRENDA SCHMITT
• Lending rates (how determined/
how to get lower)
The interest rate is the cost of
borrowing money and is usually
expressed as a percentage. Interest rates will fluctuate with market
conditions and consumer interest
rates are closely linked to the interest rates set by the Federal Reserve.
The annual percentage rate, APR,
will include the interest rate as well
as points, broker fees, and certain
other credit charges that you may
be required to pay that will impact
mortgage payments.
According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau there
are seven factors that can inf luence the interest you would pay on
a home loan:
1. Credit Score - If you are planning to buy a home check your credit
report a year or six months prior to
the purchase to correct any errors
and look for ways to improve your
credit score. If there is anything negative on your report, call the creditor
and work out a payment plan. Also
consider paying down credit card
balances.
2. Home location – Mortgage interest rates can vary from state largely due to regulations that impact the
cost of doing business.
3. Home Price and Loan Amount
– It’s important to know how much
home you can afford and to calculate
the monthly payment – including
taxes and insurance.
4. Down Payment and Loan Term
– A twenty percent down payment
will get a better interest rate than a
15% or 10% down payment. A larger
deposit indicates to the lender that
you are willing to take some risk
yourself. Also, compare the monthly
payments of a fifteen year mortgage
versus a 30 year mortgage. You may
have higher monthly payment but
you will pay a lower APR and lower
overall interest charges.
5. Loan type - There are several loan types such as conventional,
Federal Housing Administration
(FHA), and Veterans Administra-
tion (VA) loans. Each type carries
different fees, interest, and payment
structures.
6. Interest Rate Type - There are
two basic interest rate types of mortgages, adjustable and fixed and a
sub category of fixed is the balloon
payment mortgage. You can check
get a ballpark figure for your mortgage interest rates at the Consumer
Financial Protection website at consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-home/
check-rates/.
The mortgage you choose has
a big impact on the interest—how
much you’ll have to pay upfront,
your monthly payment amount, and
the total cost of your loan over time.
You will want to shop around and
compare rates and costs. Ask whether the rate is fixed or adjustable. An
adjustable rate mortgage may seem
like a bargain now but monthly payments could increase considerably
over the life of the loan. Some questions to ask for an adjustable rate
mortgage include:
· What is the initial interest rate?
· What are the rates and payment
caps each year and over the life of
the loan?
· What index will the lender use
to determine rate increase and what
margin will be used?
· How often can the lender change
the interest rate and how often is it
adjusted downward?
Doing some homework will save
you money in the long run and remember fair lending is required by
law. The Equal Credit Opportunity
Act prohibits lenders from discriminating against credit applicants in
any aspect of a credit transaction
and the basis of race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, marital status,
age or whether all or part of an applicant’s income comes from a public
assistance program.

Iowans can
fish for free
this weekend
Iowa residents may fish without
a license on June 5-7 as part of the
Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ free fishing weekend.
Free fishing weekend is the first
weekend in June each year. It allows
Iowans an opportunity to try fishing
without purchasing a license. All
other regulations remain in place.
Fishing is an activity that can be
done during any stage in life and is a
great way to spend time together as a
family. DNR staff will be at popular
fishing spots across the state to help
beginner anglers get started. They
will assist with setting up fishing
poles and distribute small kits with
basic terminal tackle for panfishing
along with tips and a few fun items.
A list of fishing clinics, derbies,
and other fun events co-sponsored by
the DNR are available on the special
events page. Log on to www.iowadnr.gov then click on Special Events
Application System under the Event
Calendar and Search for Events.
Anyone catching their first fish is
encouraged to take a photo of it and
send it in to receive the DNR’s first
fish award. The DNR will commemorate the event with a certificate
suitable for framing and the submitted photo.
Information on the first fish program is available in the Iowa Fishing Regulations and online at http://
www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/MasterAnglerFirstFish.aspx.
