A familiar corrugated steel – the kind

to a two-level lounge that is part of the
stadium’s $60 million renovation project, which will open this fall. The lounge
features fixtures and signs made from the

bins in Iowa and worldwide.
“We hope it creates a feel for the farming aspect of Iowa,” said Emily Schmitt,
general counsel for Sukup Manufacturing. “It was a perfect highlight.”

BY NICK PEDLEY
Thanks to a lot of teamwork and
elbow grease, two Hampton couples
have transformed a deteriorating
property into a prime piece of real
estate.
Jayme and Mindy Murray and
Marilyn and Larry Jurgena joined
forces three years ago to purchase
a foreclosed property located in
their neighborhood. The house had
fallen into disrepair and became an
eyesore, which motivated the couples to take possession and spruce
up the block.
The Murrays and Jurgenas feared
someone would buy the property and
rent the house without completing
any repairs or updates.
“That’s what would have happened, unfortunately,” said Marilyn
Jurgena. “We just wanted to fix it up
and make it look good again, because
it used to be a real nice property.”
ven Leath said the “classy” design is fitting for a sports club and ties ISU to its
agricultural roots.
“Because the metal structure can be so
clearly identified, it will remind people of
the great support from the Sukup family,”
he said.
Some Sukup employees have followed
the construction process.
“It has been exciting,” Schmitt said.
“The employees have been amazed by the
progress.”
Schmitt said the project will elevate
the football program and encapsulate a
great spirit, a mission she said her family
likes to support.
“It’s very unique,” she said. “It’ll be a
great unique atmosphere to grow ISU to a
next-level experience.”
Grease fire destroys
Honk ‘n’ Hollar Diner

Guests at Honk ‘n’ Hollar Diner
were evacuated early Thursday afternoon when a grease fire ignited in
the restaurant’s kitchen.
“The grill just started on fire,”
said manager Jessica Janssen. “It
spread really fast and my fire extinguisher couldn’t keep up.”
Fewer than 10 people were in
the restaurant at the time of the
blaze. Janssen and fellow employee McKayla Simmerman evacuated everyone without injury before
the Hampton Fire Department arrived. Firefighters were greeted
by thick smoke billowing from the
ceiling, front door and the building’s exhaust fan.
Janssen could not tell how far
the fire had spread when she left the
restaurant.
“I couldn’t see over the smoke,”
she said.

Santorum flexes
foreign policy muscles
during Hampton visit
BY NICK PEDLEY
Showing he’s focused on more
than just social issues, Republican
presidential candidate Rick Santorum touted his foreign policy experience and economic strategy during
a stop in Hampton last Tuesday.
The former U.S. Congressman
and winner of the 2012 Iowa Caucus
fielded questions from around 15
guests at the Youth For Christ building. He spent a large portion of the
town hall-style meeting criticizing
President Barack Obama’s Middle
East strategy, instead advocating
for a stronger approach to eliminate
threats like radical Islam.
Santorum feared groups like the
Islamic State would keep flourishing and threaten America’s national security if the current policy remained in place.
“If they continue to have a legitimacy by holding ground and expanding their ground, then more and
more radicalized Muslims will join
their cause,” he said. “It will grow
exponentially. Then the threat to the
United States becomes more and
more real.”

the May 2015 Image of Pride Award.
The award acknowledges Hampton residents who make their property’s appearance a priority.
“I thought [the award] was only
for lawns!” said Marilyn. “I was surprised someone noticed there was an
improvement in the neighborhood.”
Council Member Dick Lukensmeyer nominated the couples and
wanted to acknowledge their initiative. He was happy to see a house go
from bad to better instead of bad to
worse.
“They transformed an old house
– one that was falling apart – into
something that really looks good,”
he said. “It’s great for the community and that neighborhood.”
Lukensmeyer said other Hampton residents have also taken it upon
themselves to improve their neighborhoods in recent years. Robert
Bohr paid for a vacant house to be
burned down last year, and Verne
Sanders also cleaned up an eyesoar
property in his neighborhood.
Lukensmeyer hoped more residents would do the same if they
could.
“It’s really kind of a nice trend to
see,” he said. “I think more people
would do it, but once they see the

The couples faced a daunting todo list. They removed outdated appliances, carpet, flooring, cabinents

Council approves
airport upgrade plans
BY NICK PEDLEY
The Hampton Cit y Cou ncil
moved forward with plans to make
multiple improvements to the municipal airport during its regular
meeting last Thursday.
The group unanimously approved
a resolution establishing the plans,
specifics and form of contract for
the Hampton Airport Hangar Rehabilitation Project. The group also
awarded the contract for the project,
which will cost the city $15,300.
The hangar rehabilitation project
is part of a joint improvement initiative between the city and Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
“It was built many, many years
ago and is in need of repair,” said
Joe Roenfeldt, design engineer with
Clapsaddle-Garber. “Everything
came in under than what we had initially expected.”
The project will start later this
summer. Workers will replace the
roof over the southern T-hangar in
addition to painting the building.
Plans also call for new paint for the
terminal façade and a new roof over
that area.
The FAA’s obligation for the
project is $137,700. The council approved the contract on a 4-0 vote.
Council members Jay Hickman and
Steve Harms were absent.
Mult iple i mprovements a re
scheduled to take place between
2015 and 2018 at the airport and include a land purchase, addition of a
new four-stall hangar and taxiway,
pavement rehabilitation, and expanded turnarounds. The FAA will
cover 90 percent of the costs with
the remaining 10 percent coming
from the city, which totals around
$92,600. The FAA’s obligation
for the four proposed projects is
$833,400.
Prior to tackling the airport upgrades, the council discussed vandalism problems.
Four juveniles were banned from
the city pool this spring after they
wrote on a wall in Progress Park.
Three of the juveniles appealed their
punishment to the council during
Thursday’s meeting, instead asking
to complete community service as
an alternative.
The council discussed the issue
with the juveniles and their parents,
but will render a final decision at a
later date.
Police Chief Bob Schaefer also
discussed vandalism with the council. A group of unknown perpetrators has spray painted spots in the
alley behind the police department,
near Git-n-Go, on the Rolling Prairie
Trail and elsewhere. Schaefer took
photos of the vandalism and sent
them to the Marshalltown Police Department to see if the markings were
gang-related.
“Hopefully we can catch the vandals that are doing this and do something about it,” he said.
SUKUP
• A history of support
The Su k up family has a
long-standing relationship with Iowa
State. Founders Eugene and Mary
Sukup have honorary degrees, president and vice president/CFO Charles
and Steve Sukup earned degrees and
the family’s third generation has
earned six degrees from the university, according to cyclones.com.
Through their donations for Sukup Hall, scholarships, professorships
and the athletic department, Leath
said the family has “touched on every
one of the ways to make ISU better.”
“In this day and age, universities can’t complete all of their missions without donors,” he explained.
“There is no more valuable partnership on campus than the one we have
with the Sukup family.”
The planners were hoping for an
overall “wow factor” with the club’s
design, said Chris Jorgensen, senior
associate athletic director for facilities, planning and management at
Iowa State. He felt the corrugated
steel fixtures fit very well with that.
“I’d say it’s going to be one of the
most impactful donor-recognized
sports clubs,” he said.
Jorgensen said the Sukup family
and other Iowa businesses have been
integral to the athletic programs.
“We have a number of donors

completion in August. Opening game day is Sept. 5. PROVIDED/CHRIS

that are Iowa-based businesses,” he
explained. “And not only are they
donors, but fans and season ticket
holders. We try to say thanks in every possible way.”
More than 13,000 football fans
will fit in the south end zone, with
room for 3,000 in the Sukup End
Zone Club. The project’s completion
is planned for August.
Leath said he plans to be in the
Sukup End Zone Club on opening
game day when the Cyclones take on
Northern Iowa. University officials
were excited about the new addition
and looked forward to showing it off
during the 2015 football season.
“It’s going to be a really neat nod
to the Sukup family and Sukup Manufacturing,” Jorgensen said.
VETERAN SEMINAR
Hosting the discussion was “critical” for Karen Mitchell, Franklin
County Development Association
(FCDA) director.
“We’ve gotta tap into this workforce,” she said. “And we’ve gotta do
it right.”
• Difficulties and disconnect
Going from military service to
civilian employment comes with a
lifestyle transition.
“[In the military], we’re told what
to do, how to do it, when to wake up,
when to go to bed,” Nussbaum said.
“And it isn’t about us.”
Transitioning to a self-directed
job hunt can pose challenges for veterans, especially in communicating
their job expertise in a way that civilian employers understand.
“They’re sending out résumés
and applications and not getting responses,” said Jennifer Andrade,
IowaWORKS marketing specialist.
“To help them find a career home is
our goal.”
IowaWORKS hopes to bridge the
gap between employers and potential employees. FCDA shares that
goal and has a commitment to veterans, Mitchell said.
She felt the special seminars and
events help local businesses communicate with the veteran community,
resulting in businesses having more
confidence to approach and interview veterans.
“We are trying to help them understand each other,” Mitchell said.
“The military is very good at responding to clear orders. The ability
to articulate those says a lot about
the employer.”
• A career and community
Don Gleason, general manager
of TitanPro seed chemical and crop
insurance in Clear Lake, employs
three of the panel members.
“[These discussions] have the potential to strengthen companies and
the local economy,” he said. “It leads
to the future viability of our area.”
Gleason said that the hiring of
veterans has a multiplying effect that
reaches the employer, the community and the veterans’ families.
“Their families want to be a part
of a community,” he said.
Potential employees may not
find salaries in Franklin County that
compete with those in larger cities,
but this is offset by the low cost of
living and the supportive communi-
A panel of military veterans engage in discussion with area business
owners, hiring managers and human resource personnel, answering
questions about hiring and retaining military talent. From left: Cody

Guard veteran; Michael King, Iowa Army National Guard veteran; Tony

Guard veteran. KELLY MCGOWAN/HAMPTON CHRONICLE
ty, Mitchell explained.
“It’s easy to get lost in a big city,”
she said. “The advantage of Franklin County is that they would feel the
appreciation.”
• Making hiring happen
Seeing the word “combat” on an
applicant’s résumé might raise concerns and lead hiring managers to
wonder how that person would work
with fellow employees, Hoyt said.
This is where communication and
understanding helps ease the hiring
process.
“Throw that combat stuff out of
the picture,” Nussbaum said. “Look
for leadership, and the skills that can
help you build a business.”
He suggested that employers call
their applicants to talk about any
uncertainties, saying they would be
shocked at what they gather from
that conversation.
Because every military job is designated by a code, veterans’ résumés
may contain unfamiliar acronyms
that signify their prior experience.
“Whatever alphabet soup he
throws down, it means he’s trainable,” Akers said.
Once an employee is hired, another transition takes place. This time, it
is for the business. Gleason said hiring veterans requires a business to
be well organized. This includes giving clear objectives, straightforward
communication and being prepared
with the next task. All of this makes
the business better, he said.
Through his personal contact
with veterans, he said he has developed a sense of sensitivity towards
them and has noticed a vitality and
eagerness that they bring to their
positions. This has helped to build
what employees consider a veteran-friendly workplace at TitanPro.
“It’s a team-oriented company,”
King said. “With that camaraderie,
we work very well together.”
• Looking to the future
Franklin County is home to 772
veterans, according to the VA. With
its recent designation as a Home
Base Iowa Community, the goal is to
attract and employ more.
Franklin County Veterans Affairs
director Tom Berry was glad to see
the county’s interest in hiring veterans.
“Patriotism is really not dead,” he
said. “I think people still have that.
And the non-veteran status people
too, of course.”
IowaWORKS encouraged businesses to post their openings on the
job bank at www.1iowajobs.org.

Wright County examines SANTORUM
didn’t advocate sendeconomic impact of bird flu ingSantorium
American troops to fight a
BY TRAVIS FISCHER
Economic development officials
have begun analyzing the impact bird
flu has had on local consumers, poultry producers and the job market.
The impact is particularly felt
in Wright County, which is one of
the state’s largest poultry producers. With nearly 5 million birds destroyed from a single Wright County
egg producer, the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza is positioned to
make a substantial economic impact
on the county.
To measure exactly what that
impact will be, Wright County Economic Development Director Bryce
Davis is working on a report to track
the long term effects that the bird flu
will have in the local economy.
One of the most obvious impacts
will be at the grocery store. With almost 25 million laying chickens in
the state destroyed, the price of eggs
has seen a significant spike since
the outbreak began. Before the first
case of bird flu was discovered, eggs
were $1.89 a dozen. Today they average $3.29 a dozen.
Beyond the grocery store, any
food producer that uses eggs has to
consider how much of that additional
expense they are willing to pass on to
the customer. So far food producers,
from fast foods to frozen waffles, appear to be keeping prices stable.
“I think right now, since it’s a
temporary issue, they might eat that
cost for a while,” said Davis. “I’m
sure every food company is having
that discussion as we speak.”
Along with the loss of egg production, the destruction of the chickens themselves will also have economic consequences for other areas
of the ag industry as demand for feed
grain drops.
“Typically an egg laying chicken consumes one bushel of corn per
year,” said Davis. “Obviously five
million bushels of corn a year is going to have an impact on the local
economy.”
Fortunately, f luxuations in the
supply and demand of corn are a regular occurrence, and the corn industry should be able to absorb the loss
of demand for feed just as it would in
any other year where demand is low.
According to the Iowa Corn Promotion Board, less than 10% of the
state’s corn is used for poultry. The
state produces more than two billion
bushels of corn in a year, so even the
loss of 29 million birds statewide
should make a minimal impact.
Instead, the primary impact that
the bird flu will have on the county
will not come from the loss of chickens, but he loss of jobs.
One poultry producer, whose
sites were the location for the first
three outbreaks of bird flu in Wright
County, has laid off a number of
their workers due to the outbreak.
According to Davis, this has resulted in the loss of approximately
$1,050,000 in earnings in the county’s economy.
Not only does this mean less
money to be spent at area businesses, but it can have a domino effect on
the local economy. Particularly if the
laid off workers are forced to leave
the area and find work elsewhere,
taking their families with them.
“If these displaced workers leave,
it will have a large effect on the
school system,” said Davis. “I think
we’re going to see our largest damage from people leaving.”
According to Eagle Grove Community School District Superintendent Jess Toliver, each student that
leaves the district next year will
take $6,564 in general fund money
with them.
Fewer students also means fewer
funds from PPEL, which is used to
pay for buses, infrastructure, and
technology.
Laid off workers are eligible for
26 weeks of unemployment benefits, with potential for an additional 26 weeks if they participate in
other job training programs, but
it’s hard to determine if that will be
enough time.
I n fected facilit ies must be
cleared, sanitized, and inspected by
the USDA to make sure that the virus is completely gone from the environment. At this point, nobody can
say when the affected producer will
be back up and running.
“It’s very difficult to put a number on that,” said Davis.
As a pre-emptive measure to encourage laid off workers to stay in
their communities, Wright County
Economic Development coordinated with the poultry producer in Eagle Grove to set up an emergency
re-employment program. On Thursday, June 11, laid off workers were
invited to meet with representatives
from ISU Extension, Wright County
Public Health, Iowa Workforce Development, and the Small Business
Development Center to learn about
available resources.
“One person I was able to talk to
said it was very helpful,” said Davis.
It is hoped that this rapid response
job fair will help laid off workers
find a new job in the area, either
temporarily or permanently, depending on how long it takes for the local
poultry industry to recover.
Thursday’s event was a one-time
emergency measure in response to
those layoffs. It’s hoped that there
will be no need to put on another one.
“It all depends on if any more outbreaks happen,” said Davis. “If there
are mass layoffs, we’ll do it again.”
It will take several weeks for
the complete economic report to be
finished, but so far it appears that
Wright County’s economy will recover from this setback. Davis says
that other areas of the ag industry are
still going strong in the face of the
bird flu crisis by continuing to invest
in new equipment.
“We’ll get through this,” he said.

ground war, but he did offer his own
strategy to combat Islamic extremists. He believed America needed to
double or triple the amount of military specialists in the region to assist
the Kurds, Jordanians, Egyptians
and Iraqi army in addition to arming
those groups with more firepower.
Santorum also felt there was too
much red tape holding back American-led air raids in the Middle East.
“If you thought Vietnam was bad
and the politicans were running the
war, this is worst of all possible situations,” he said.
I look at it as a
tremendous opportunity
to go out and deliver a
message to the country.
- Rick Santorum
The Obama Administration’s
handling of Iran relations also irked
Santorum. He called ongoing nuclear negotiations a “joke,” and felt U.S.
officials weren’t grasping the threat
of a nuclearized Iran.
Santorum said Iran’s huge oil reserves completely eliminated any
need to expand the country’s nuclear
engergy program, and he believed
Iranian leaders would break any negotiation or treaty in the future.
“Weakness always allows evil to
prosper, and that’s what’s happening,” he said. “This happens over
and over again, yet people refuse to
learn.”
Though foreign policy was a
key issue for Santorum, he also discussed the economy and job growth
during the meeting.
He favored expanding the middle
class by creating more jobs in the
manufacturing sector. He said cheap
domestic natural gas prices could
lead to economic growth and job
creation, but he said that would only
happen if certain environmental regulations were loosened.
His overall goal was to revive the
manufacturing industry in rural areas of the country.
“It’s gone precipitously down,”
he said. “We can end the exodus of
small town rural America and have
people stay in their community,
work in their community and raise
their kids in their community.”
Santorum said his administration
would implement a flat-rate tax to
help American companies, but he’s
still working out the details of the
plan.
The two-time presidential candidate also discussed health care
reform, trade promotion authority
and political dysfunction. Santorum,
who is one of 11 GOP candidates,
admitted he faced a long road to the
White House but remained unfazed.
“There’s no favorite in this race,”
he said. “Everyone’s pretty much
within the margin of error of everyone else. I look at it as a tremendous
opportunity to go out and deliver a
message to the country.”

Celebrating our dads
Dads across the country will be honored this Sunday on
Father’s Day. The annual holiday gives us a chance to celebrate dad the right way and thank him for his years of dedicated parenting.
Our dads are all special in their own unique ways.
They’ve watched us grow up from diaper-wearing toddlers
to functioning adults, and their guidance and understanding
leave an immeasurable impact on us over the years. Whether it was teaching us how to drive a stick shift, tossing the
pigskin or helping us through a tough time, fathers leave an
impression on us in some way or another. Life’s lessons are
typically subtle and brief, yet profound. Our dads are often
responsible for teaching us that over the course of our lives.
Take time to honor your dad this weekend. Whether you
grill out, go fishing or get together with other family members, make sure he knows he’s appreciated. We owe a lot to
our fathers, and taking time to acknowledge that on a regular basis is the least we can do.
Out with the old,
in with the new
We’re nowhere near basketball season, but that didn’t stop
things from heating up here in Iowa last week.
Iowa State introduced a new head coach Tuesday following the departure of Fred Hoiberg to the NBA. The quick
turnaround isn’t surprising, and it seems like the Cyclones
found a worthy successor in Steve Prohm. The young head
coach comes to ISU with great credentials and noteworthy
references, and he should have no problem picking up where
Hoiberg left off.
Hoiberg is an outstanding coach that
wins with class, and he was
well liked by both Cyclone fans
and the competition.
Prohm emerged from a pool of seven possible candidates. That list included ISU assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger, who many thought was the favorite to succeed Hoiberg.
Prohm went 104-29 during his four seasons as Murray
State’s head coach. He had tremendous success there and
runs an offense that matches Hoiberg’s style quite closely.
Statistical comparisons between Murray State and Iowa
State don’t deviate too drastically, which bodes well for a
smooth transition in Ames.
However, Murray State is in the Ohio Valley Conference
and ISU is in the Big 12. That’s a pretty big swing in competition and creates a slight level of uncertainty. Prohm will
have to prove himself early to ease skeptics at ISU and elsewhere. He’s inheriting a talent-laden Cyclone team that returns multiple players from last year’s squad, so there’s little
room for error.
Prohm has some big shoes to fill. Hoiberg was beloved at
ISU, having achieved great success as a player and coach.
The Mayor took the Cyclones to four NCAA Tournaments,
won two Big 12 Tournaments and won 100 games faster
than any coach in ISU history. Not to mention his .673 winning percentage. Hoiberg’s legacy will no doubt live on in
Ames, and many expect him to excel as head coach of the
Chicago Bulls.
The departure is bittersweet. Hoiberg is an outstanding
coach that wins with class, and he was well liked by both Cyclone fans and the competition. Nonetheless, it’s time for the
Prohm era at ISU. He seems like a good fit and capable successor. It will certainly be fun to see what he does with an experienced Cyclone team that’s primed for more success this season.
Tough budget decisions
highlight extended 2015 session
With the final adjournment of
the 2015 legislative session, our
work at the Statehouse is complete
for the year.
In my role as the House Majority
Leader, I have the opportunity to provide closing remarks at end of the legislative session. In my comments this
year, I noted that we started this session with a difficult budget situation.
Our growing obligations exceeded the
amount of revenue coming in.
To some, this was yet another
opportunity to return to the days of
spending more than the states takes
in. It is far too easy to build the ending balance into the ongoing expenses. Well, I should say, it’s easy until
it isn’t. It’s easy until revenue drops
and there isn’t anywhere to go but to
budget cuts and broken promises.
The state has been down that
path many times before. Instead,
we chose a wiser path for our state.
As we have for the previous four
sessions, we have aligned ongoing
expenses with ongoing revenue.
Not spending more that you take in
is something that has always made
sense to Iowans. You should be glad
to know your legislators are doing
that too. Who knows, maybe someday the federal government might
even pick up on the idea!
That might seem like a dream, but
what isn’t just a dream in the state of
UNDER THE
GOLDEN
DOME, TOO
Linda
Upmeyer
Not spending more that
you take in is something
that has always made
sense to Iowans. You
should be glad to know
your legislators are
doing that too.
Iowa is the fact that Republicans and
Democrats can come together and
find common ground. You might
read about our differences in the paper, but if you take the time to watch
the actions in the State Capitol you
will see something different. You
will see bipartisan work, bipartisan
friendship, and in the end, bipartisan
results.
It is that kind of bipartisan work
that is going to be needed to address
one of our biggest budget challenges,
the unsustainable growth of Medicaid. In my opening speech of the
legislative session, I highlighted that
over the last 10 years, the general
fund has grown at annual rate of 4.1
percent while Medicaid has grown at
11.7 percent. This year isn’t any better. We are spending an additional
$151 million on Medicaid with this
year’s budget.
Medicaid is on a collision course
with other priorities like education,
workforce training, and a competitive tax climate.
Thankfully, this year we have
taken steps to begin changing
course. The Medicaid asset verification system will help ensure benefits are going to those intended. The
new managed care system will help
deliver services more efficiently.
However, more reforms are needed.
We can do a better job of reviewing
eligibility of applicants to reduce
fraud; we should review and revise
our waivers to focus our efforts; and
most importantly, we must push for
meaningful reforms and flexibility
from our federal government.
Throughout the interim we will
continue to work on solutions that
are good for Iowans. Please do not
hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments. I can be reached

Lovin’ the local scene
They say to be an expert you need
to come from a distance away. I was
an expert once. I moved here from
Montana in 1977. Now I don’t know
much. I haven’t been an expert for
almost 40 years.
But having spent my youth in
California, I got to know some people who could be experts right where
they lived. I knew Albert King and
Charley Musselwhite, a couple legendary blues musicians.
Life is too short to ever miss a
Hampton Municipal Band concert.
Chris Sauke and the band are experts right here, bringing composers’ works to life in a place that just
seems made for it. The talent doesn’t
stop there. Featured soloists and
small groups serve up the icing on
the cake of these weekly concerts we
share as a community.
One thing that occurred to me
as I bopped along to a march last
Tuesday was how this scene wasn’t
unique at all. All over the world
there are communities sharing their
talents, taking some time from their
efforts at survival to enjoy the talents
of friends and neighbors.
THE
ALTERNATIVE
Fritz
Groszkruger
The opening act Tuesday night
was the Sarah Dunn Band. I couldn’t
get off work early enough to hear
them. I noticed that they were packing up and driving off as the municipal band played. That’s too bad. I
know Albert King or Charley Musselwhite would have never walked
out on the acts for who they opened.
They would have stayed to show respect for fellow musicians and perhaps learn something.
I have to admit, I’m no fan of
the commercial formulaic brand of
country music popular today, but I
hold nothing against it. After all, I
believe the market is the best way
to determine winners and losers.
Maybe I’m just a crotchety old man
remembering the good old days, but
I think I’m not all wrong. Lack of respect is making this a less enjoyable
world. I can’t imagine that I’m the
only one who noticed Ms. Dunn’s
band’s lack of interest in our hometown musicians.
Maybe that is what professional
musicians have become. I hear a lot
of complaints about the “all about
me” attitude. And I think it has a lot
to do with the squeeze that the welfare/warfare state is putting on ordinary people. So much spending is no
longer directed by the market that all
the inefficiencies have stagnated the
economy in unseen ways. To make
up for that people must cut corners
and it is manifested in rudeness.
To buck that trend let’s continue
to resist the temptation to hurriedly
dismiss the efforts of our neighbors.
I don’t care if I’m no longer an expert. I like it here.
I’m always glad to hear any input
on these columns. Reach me at [email protected] or find more
varied material and some discussion

More help for vulnerable Iowans
The recently completed 2015
session required compromise on
important efforts to grow Iowa’s
middle class, but this year also saw
bipartisan successes. In particular,
the Senate approved many initiatives
to help vulnerable Iowans.
• Mental health care
Legislation improved Iowa’s
mental health and disability services
system by making more emergency
psychiatric beds available and setting up a system for medical professionals and law enforcement to track
their availability.
It will also be easier now for Iowans to get mental health and substance abuse treatment closer to
home. This includes keeping the
mental health institutes open in
Mount Pleasant and Clarinda to
serve Iowa families dealing with severe mental health issues.
• Medicaid oversight
The Senate created an oversight
committee to review and recom-

mend improvements to the Governor’s plan to privatize Medicaid
services, Iowa’s public health insurance system for the frail, the ill
and those with disabilities. Legislators will also ensure Iowans can
navigate the new system and get
the help they need in cases where
medical or support services are arbitrarily denied.
• Human trafficking
Human Trafficking is the buying and selling of people, often for
sexual slavery, forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation, and it is
happening here in Iowa. New legislation will help law combat human
trafficking through public awareness efforts, special training for law
enforcement officers, and making
the crime a forcible felony with mandatory prison time.
• Safety for victims
The Senate passed legislation to
ensure victims of domestic abuse,
sexual abuse, human trafficking and
stalking are safe from their abusers
through an address confidentiality
program. The Secretary of State’s
office will establish a U.S. Post Office box for those who participate.
The Secretary of State will receive
the participant’s mail and forward it
to their P.O. Box.
These are just a few of the things
the legislature did this year to make
Iowa communities healthier, safer
places. To read about all of this year’s
successes, go to www.senate.iowa.
gov/democrats/2015-highlights.
It could have been me.
This Sunday, to kick off this
year’s E3, Nintendo brought back
the Nintendo World Championship
for the first time in 25 years.
Sure, if you want to be cynical,
the championship is little more than
a long advertisement for current and
upcoming games. This was to be expected considering that the original
contest back in 1990 was nothing
more than a huge advertisement for
“Super Mario Bros. 3.”
But that didn’t stop it from being
greatly entertaining, not to mention
a refreshing change from the usual
e-sports scene.
Unlike professional e-sports, the
Nintendo World Championship is a
strictly amateur contest. There is no
prize pool, the contestants aren’t professional players, and the games played
aren’t balanced for competitive play.
As part of the fun, none of the
contestants even knew which games
they would play from round to
round. In fact, one of the games was
a brand new title that had not been
announced yet.
Generally, the e-sports scene
is dominated by people who know
their game inside and out. The people at the top are the ones that spend
hours perfecting their craft.
But there’s also something to be
said about a gamer that can pick up
a game that nobody has ever played
before and just go with it, and those
were the kind of gamers that made it
to the championship.
Well, half of them at least. Of the
16 contestants, eight were invited
guests made up notable speed runners and YouTube personalities. The
other eight contests were just regular
gamers, selected from an open preliminary round that was held at Best
Buy locations across the nation.
I tried to convince my roommates
to drive up to Minneapolis to give
it a go, just for the fun of it. At the
very least, it would have made for
a fun road trip. Unfortunately, they
showed little interest in the adventure and I didn’t feel like making the
trip alone.
The odds of that any of us would
have qualified for the contest were
slim, but not unreasonable. A childhood, and adulthood, of gaming
have left the mechanics of “Super
Mario Bros” are hardwired into
muscle memory. With a little practice, who knows what could have
happened had we tried.
Thankfully, Iowa did not go without representation. Among the eight
players that earned their way to the
big stage was Timothy H, otherwise
known as “Timzy,” from West Union.
Timzy did us proud at first, surviving the first round by winning a
game of “Splatoon.” Unfortunately, he was knocked out of the main
competition after a 1-3 loss in “Blast
Ball” and eliminated entirely when
he narrowly lost a speed-run contest
of “Super Metroid.”
But there’s also
something to be said
about a gamer that
can pick up a game
that nobody has ever
played before and just
go with it, and those
were the kind of gamers
that made it to the
championship.
I’m not saying I would have done
better in Timzy’s shoes, but I will say
that one of my roommates would have
annihilated that “Super Metroid”
round without breaking a sweat.
The disappointing loss of Timzy
aside, the contest was still enjoyable to watch. Particularly the final
round, where John Numbers, an otherwise ordinary gamer from New
York, dominated a series of crazy
Super Mario levels to win the championship.
Not bad for a guy who made it
to the contest by being really good
at “NES Remix” and having time to
stop at a Best Buy.
Maybe next year I’ll give it a try.

LOCAL NEWS
GOVERNOR
“Basically what we’re trying to do
every year is make Iowa more competitive.”
Brian Buresh, owner of Buresh
Building Systems, gave Branstad a
brief rundown of his company’s history. It’s grown to 85 employees in
just 10 years, but Buresh felt future
expansion could be affected by a
shortage of skilled workers. He said
he’s had trouble finding quality em-
ployees in recent years as the business has grown.
Branstad said Buresh’s problem
wasn’t uncommon for rural companies across the state. He didn’t
have an easy answer to solve it, but
he said his administration is trying
to address it by emphasizing STEM
education in Iowa’s K-12 schools.

careers here in Iowa that you don’t
necessarily need a four-year degree
in,” he said.
The governor also addressed education funding. State lawmakers
were forced to stay a month past the
scheduled adjournment date as they
negotiated next year’s K-12 funding
package, eventually settling on a
1.25 percent increase and $55.7 million in one-time money.
Branstad wished the Legislature would have passed a package
for the 2016-17 school year in addition to this year’s deal. He was also
unhappy with the $55.7 million in
one-time funding because it didn’t
allow school districts to plan for
the future.
Branstad hasn’t ruled out vetoing the one-time money and calling
a special session to determine the
2016-17 funding package. He will
make his decision by July, but he
said he would only call lawmakers
back to Des Moines if a deal is already in place beforehand.
“I’ve done it both ways, and I’ve
learned the hard way not to call them
back unless you have that deal in advance.” he said. “I don’t want to go
through all of this again.”

- Terry Branstad, Governor
der, addressed the governor about
the need for high-speed Internet in
rural Iowa. The Legislature recently
passed Branstad’s “Connect Every
Acre” initiative, which establishes
incentives to attract Internet service
providers to rural counties across
the state.
Branstad likened the current
high-speed Internet situation to the
early years of electricity – the large
cities got it first, then the rural areas.
“We’re already seeing growth in
this area, we just want to accelerate
it in the rural areas,” he said. “The
quicker we can do that the better.”
Branstad was happy the Legislature passed “Connect Every Acre”
and felt it was a vital investment in
future economic growth. He wished
lawmakers would have included $5
million worth of grants in the new
law, but they only established tax
incentives. Branstad hoped they
would choose to fund the grants in
the future.
“If we had better high speed Internet, we could get a lot of young
people who want to live and stay in
a small community,” he said. “But
they have to be connected.”

HONK ‘N’ HOLLAR
Hampton firefighters exit the Honk ‘n’ Hollar Diner after extinguishing
the grease fire last Thursday. KELLY MCGOWAN/HAMPTON CHRONICLE
Honk ‘n’ Hollar’s owner, fireman
Steve Sliter, was on the responding
team. His wife, Lisa, was working at
the time.
“My employees did an awesome
job protecting the people and getting them out safe,” said Lisa. “The
Hampton Fire Department was impeccable. The EMTs, the sheriff’s
deparment, the police department –
everybody was awesome. I could not
have asked for better support.”
The crew waited in the rain outside the restaurant while firefighters tended to the building. Fireman
Rory Fender, Janssen’s father, also
responded.
“[The Sliters] are really good
friends of ours,” he said. “We saw
flames, so it’s an emergency.”
Firemen extinguished the flames
and left the scene by mid-afternoon.
However, the damage was done. Honk
‘n’ Hollar was declared a total loss.
The setback didn’t stop the business from reopening on Monday.
The Sliters moved all restaurant operations across the alley to Pakodas
Steak House, which they also own.
Honk ‘n’ Hollar’s menu will be
served during daytime dining hours
and Pakodas’ will be served at night.
The Sliters were unsure if they
would reopen Honk ‘n’ Hollar at its
previous location.
“That’s something that we’re still
contemplating,” said Lisa. “We still
have to get some estimates. Right
now, any decision will be made at a
later date.”

some friends wrote on the wall of the aquatic

his actions and promised to never do it again
and to turn in anyone whoever does it. His moth-
er, Trista Cruz, addressed the Council, stating
that he was a good kid, who has never been
in trouble before and suggested the City utilize
community service as a punishment instead of

actions. Mike Deardeuff, her stepfather, stated

involvement, not only as her father, but he was
involved in the construction aspect of the aquatic center and took pride in the facility. He said he
would be agreeable to whatever punishment the
City decides is necessary.
After some comments and questions, the consensus of the Council was to table the matter
for further consideration. In the meantime, the
Council’s decision to prohibit the four juveniles
from using the aquatic center this summer

FAMILY FEATURES
T
his year, recognize dad with the gift he’s really looking forward
to receiving — a feast fit for a steak-loving king shared with
family and friends.
Fire up the grill and serve up robust, savory cuts, such as Omaha Steaks
T-bone or Rib Crown selections for your Father’s Day celebrations. The
T-bone is a thick cut to give you more bone-in strip and butter-tender Filet
Mignon for even the heartiest of appetites, while the Rib Crown is carved
from the most prized part of the Ribeye and is known for exceptional marbling, flavor and tenderness. Both cuts are grain-fed, aged to perfection and
flash-frozen to capture freshness and flavor. Omaha Steaks make the perfect gift, so you can confidently ship them directly to your favorite fellow or
grill them up for him at home.

or quick thaw by placing sealed steaks in
sink with water for 15–30 minutes.
Prepare rub and vegetables.
Heat grill on high. Blot dry steaks with
clean paper towel, then brush each side
with cooking oil.
Generously season both sides of steaks
with rub.
Grill steaks to desired doneness. For
medium rare steak, grill for about 5 minutes on first side and 3–4 minutes on
second side.
Serve each steak with vegetables.
Dad’s Steak Rub
Yield: 1/2 cup
4 tablespoons coarse sea salt
or kosher salt
1 tablespoon coarse ground black
pepper
1 tablespoon coarse dehydrated onion
flakes
1/2 tablespoon coarse dehydrated garlic
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon whole dill seed
1 teaspoon dried whole thyme
1 teaspoon whole cumin (toasted and
crushed coarse)
1 teaspoon whole coriander (toasted and
crushed coarse)
Combine all and mix well. Store in air
tight container or zip lock bag for up to 6
months.
Note: To prepare cumin and coriander,
toast by placing in dry pan over medium
heat, shaking pan about 2–3 minutes
until seasonings start to brown. Crush
using bottom of pan on cutting board or
with mortar and pestle.
Roasted Root Vegetables
Total time: 60 minutes
Servings: 4
2 pounds mixed root vegetables (carrots,
red beets, yellow beets, turnips, celery
root, baby purple potatoes, baby gold
potatoes)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
Heat oven to 400°F.
Wash and peel root vegetables. Cut
into even size wedges about 1/2 to 3/4
inch thick.
Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place on foil lined sheet pan.
Roast for 30–40 minutes or until all
vegetables are done, stirring once half
way through cooking time.
Using the proper
grilling technique
For exceptional steaks every time,
incorporate these tips
from Omaha Steaks
Executive Chef Karl Marsh.
1. Clean and heat your grill on
high.
2. Blot dry any moisture using a
clean paper towel, and then lightly
oil the steak before you put it on the
grill. This helps the searing process
and prevents sticking.
3. Season your food before grilling, preferably with Omaha Steaks
seasonings.
4. Sear the outside of steaks when
grilling. This really helps with the
flavor and juiciness.
5. Use tongs or a spatula to turn
your meat on the grill. Using a fork
can damage and dry out the meat.
6. Cover your grill as much as
possible during the grilling process.
This helps to lock in the grilled flavor and will help prevent flare-ups.
7. Keep a spray bottle with water
handy to douse any unexpected
flare-ups.
8. Use the 60/40 grilling method.
Grill for 60 percent of the time on
the first side, then grill 40 percent
of the time after you turn over the
food. This will give you an evenly
cooked product.
9. Place your cooked product on
a clean plate. Never place cooked
product on the plate you used to
transport the raw product to the
grill without thoroughly washing it
first.
10. Allow your steaks to “rest” for
5 minutes between cooking and
eating. This will help retain moisture when you cut into them.

Leaving a mark:
ƒ Bulldogs
match best
start in school
history with
rout of G-H/V
GARNER – Hampton-Dumont’s
baseball team reached territory only
one other team in school history has
reached: 8-0 to start the season.
The Bulldogs rapped out 12 hits
in support of Jesus DelValle on the
mound to post a 15-5 win in five innings over Garner-Hayfield/Ventura
on Tuesday, June 9 in order to mark it.
Lead-off hitter Trevor Eiklenborg was one of four H-D players to
collect a pair of hits, but made a big
impact with two doubles, two stolen
bases, a walk and scored four runs.
In fact, the top five hitters in the
lineup went a combined 9-for-15 and
reached base 15 times against the
Cardinals.
The only other team to start the
season 8-0 was the 2001 Bulldogs,
which finished 21-7 overall, 12-6 in
the North Central Conference. That
team, coached by Shawn Samuelson and assisted by Heath Walton,
reached the district final before bowing out.
No Bulldog baseball team has
ever reached the state tournament.
But this team is trying to change
that.
Seven of H-D’s 12 hits were for
extra bases (all doubles) and the
Bulldogs combined for 10 RBI, led
by three for Cole Miller, who was
3-for-3 with two doubles.
And, even though DelValle yielded eight hits and five runs, four of
which were earned, G-H/V never led
despite tying the score in the third.
Coach Matt Lokenvitz’s squad
broke it open with a four-run fourth
and an eight-run fifth to put an early end to the game as the Cardinals
put one on the board in the fifth,
but no more.
It opened the door for sole possession of the school mark on Wednesday, June 10 at Clarion-Goldfield.

NORTHWOOD – The Warhawk
baseball team won its second in a
row, trouncing host school Northwood-Kensett 13-3 in six innings on
Friday, June 12.
Coach Lance Thompson’s team
pounded out 10 hits, including a
3-for-4 night by Austin Neff as he
drove in four runs.
Clay Emhoff also clubbed a tworun homer, getting on base two more
times via walks and stole three bags
for West Fork as it improved to 4-7
overall, 2-3 in the Corn Bowl Conference.
Tied at 1 after the second inning,
the Warhawks came through with a

of starter Evan Sprung, who earned
the win on the mound.

Rylan Fleshner added an RBI double.

Top-ranked
St. Ed’s shows
its power
BY KRISTI NIXON
HAMPTON – Hampton-Dumont’s softball team had its share of ups and
downs last week, ending the long stretch of four games in five days with a
10-0 loss to Class 2A No. 1 Fort Dodge St. Edmond in five innings.
Coach Kelly Meader’s Bulldogs started the week on a high with a big win
over Iowa Falls-Alden, lost 13-9 to non-conference Dike-New Hartford and though H-D won
at Clarion-Goldfield 10-6, she wasn’t happy
with the team effort.
“Iowa Falls, I was proud of them, they came
out ready to play,” Meader said. “They played
hard and really well. I loved their enthusiasm,
I’d just like to

day night and we didn’t...and tonight...they (the
Gaels) just hit the ball well.”
- Kelly Meader, coach
St. Edmond combined for 11 base hits, at
least four for extra bases.
By the time the first inning was over, the Gaels sent eight batters to the
plate and held a 3-0 lead.
“They are a good team,” Meader said. “We made our share of mistakes
and blunders, but that is going to come with good teams. I’d just like to see
us get a little bit tougher and really dig in and do something against them
instead of them intimidating us.”
Conversely, H-D managed only a pair of hits against both St. Edmond
pitchers. Madi Mason walked in both of her plate appearances.
The Bulldogs (3-4, 2-3 NCC) had a weekend to rest after a long stretch
that could have been longer had a rainout not happened on Thursday against
Nevada.
“We need some rest,” Meader said. “We played four games this week and
next week’s the same. We’ve got four games and then a tournament on Saturday. We need to get tougher.”

falls to No. 2
Clear Lake
SHEFFIELD – Central Springs
is living up to its recent ranking in
Class 2A, handing West Fork’s softball team a 14-1 loss in four innings
on Wednesday, June 10.
The Panthers entered the rankings at No. 12 after starting the season unranked.
They limited the good-hitting
Warhawks to only three hits as
they managed to scratch out a run
by Chey Liekweg against Central
Springs eighth grade pitcher Hannah
Ausenhus.
Ahna Larson yielded 10 hits and
14 runs, none of which were earned.
She struck out two and walked three.
Central Springs improved to 10-1
overall after opening the season
against Class 4A Mason City High
School.
West Fork (6-4) looked to get back
on track after its third straight loss,
two to ranked 2A teams and another
to a 3A school, Iowa Falls-Alden.
CLEAR LAKE – Coach Lance
Thompson’s Warhawks played good
baseball, but Class 2A No. 2 Clear
Lake gave a clear indication on why
it is ranked in an eventual 4-0 win
over the Warhawks.
Christian Ames gave up only five
hits, but walked six and gave up the
only runs of the game in the second
and third innings, just enough for the
Lions (9-2) to walk away with the
win.
The Warhawks out-hit Clear
Lake, 9-0, but couldn’t bunch anything together as Lions starter Jacob Peterson yielded no walks and
struck out three.
Making the most damage against
Ames and West Fork was Clear Lake
lead-off hitter Cooper Merrill, who
hit 2-for-4 and drove in two runs.
The loss drops the Warhawks to
2-7 overall, their fifth straight loss
with three of the last four games
coming by one run.

DES MOINES – The Iowa High School Athletic Association’s Board
of Control voted on Monday, June 15 to adopt a nine-game regular season schedule and 16-team qualifier for all football classes in the playoffs
starting in 2016.
The change means a reduction from 32 teams who currently qualify
for the postseason in each class.
The schedules for the 2015 regular season and playoffs remain unchanged.
This move comes after review of the current playoff system which
allows fewer days of rest and recovery between each game in the postseason. In a nod toward player safety and risk-minimization, the IHSAA
had been looking at several options.
“Today’s actions put in place a scenario for the football postseason
which allows for one week between games,” said Alan Beste, IHSAA Executive Director. “The driving force behind this decision is player safety
and keeping the best interest of our students at the forefront.”
At their meeting on April 29, the IHSAA Board of Control had a
discussion regarding the football start date and schedule beginning
with the 2016 season. The Board considered many options at that meeting, but decided to gather further input from the IHSAA membership
through the IHSAA Representative Council, Iowa High School Athletic
Directors Association (IHSADA) and the Iowa Football Coaches Association (IFCA).
The move came about as an attempt to give the parties involved time
to seek input from the constituents and be ready to have a meaningful
discussion at Monday’s meeting.
Representatives from the IHSADA and IFCA discussed the issue
amongst the IHSAA; also present were members of the IHSAA administrative team as well as the IHSAA Board of Control.
Following the meeting, the IHSAA Board of Control in a unanimous
vote decided to retain the regular nine-season games and move toward a
16-team playoff qualifier structure.
Football is the largest high school participation sport in Iowa with
20,630 participants, according to the 2013-14 IHSAA participation survey.

CLARION – Matt Lokenvitz,

But after his Bulldogs surpassed
the school’s best start to a baseball

10-3 through the Carroll Tournament (June 13-14), we are well on
our way right now.
“The record, that is just icing on
the cake. We weren’t trying to break
any school records or do any of that
stuff, but this is a group of kids who
play baseball really well and I’m really happy for them.”
The reaction for H-D graduate
and centerfielder Brandon Westendorf, who has played varsity since he
was a freshman, was even-keel.
“It’s really something else,”
Westendorf said, “but we just have
to go out every day and play like we
usually do and play every team like
they are the best team out there and
do our best to get a win.”
And it looked like H-D was having batting practice against the Cowboys, combining for 16 base hits
against them.
That included a 3-for-5 night for
Westendorf, the No. 2 hole hitter,
who reached base all four times he
batted.
“Normal pitches,” Westendorf
said of the two different C-G pitch-
Bailey Miller of Hampton-Dumont leaps off of the mound to field a short grounder that died in the tall grass
at Clarion-Goldfield on Wednesday, June 10. The Bulldogs set a new school mark with a 9-0 record to start
the season with the win. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE
ers he faced. “You’ve got to put it in
play for good things to happen, I put
it in play and that’s what I saw.”
Hampton-Dumont got on the
scoreboard right away with a deep
fly ball to left hit by Trevor Eiklenborg that was dropped, allowing the
speedy second baseman to reach
third base. Westendorf hit the ball
to the infield where the Cowboys’
first baseman bobbled it, allowing
Eiklenborg to score.
And the Bulldogs kept tacking
on, like they have all season.
It gave plenty of run support to
complete-game winner Bailey Miller, who struck out seven, walked
four and scattered five hits. Only
two of the three runs were earned
in the third inning in which Clari-
on-Goldfield scored all of its runs.
During that inning, the Bulldogs
had a few errors and Bailey Miller
walked two.
He also started the fifth with two
straight walks, but erased that threat
by inducing a double play on the next
Cowboy batter.
Admittedly, in the past few years
innings like that would have done
H-D in. Not this time. Not this year.
“We’ve grown so much as a team,
you know?” Westendorf said. “From
when I was a freshman, playing on
this team, we might have crumbled
in that position and may not have
been able to finish. But we come
here as a team and know that we can
pull ourselves through with our bats
and keep on going.”
Right off the bat
NO CONTEST:
ƒ North Butler
rests ace, falls to
No. 1 AGWSR
BY KRISTI NIXON
ACKLEY – Anticipating seeing
them again in the post-season, North
Butler chose to not throw ace Taylor
Graven against the top-ranked Cougar softball team on Tuesday, June 9.
Needless to say, it was a little disappointing for AGWSR co-coach
Scott O’Brien in his team’s eventual
12-4 win over the Bearcats.
“Oh, a little disappointed? Yeah,”
O’Brien said. “Let’s put it this way,
considering who we saw, yes, it was
disappointing. It’s just a little difficult to stay focused and get up when
you face pitching like that.
“I suppose he’s holding back in
case we would run into them in the
regionals, but on the other hand, it
just didn’t give us much of a reason
to keep our focus later in the innings
of the game. We drifted mentally
and got a little sloppy and let them
make a couple of plays normally
they wouldn’t get to make, but that’s
the way it goes.”
What could have been a run-away
in three or four innings turned out
to be a complete game after Bearcat
coach Jeff Stirling switched from his
No. 2 pitcher to a pitcher he hasn’t
used all season, Camie Crawford.
Crawford came on in the third
inning, inheriting a runner that was
hit by a pitch from starter Katelyn
Shultz, and proceeded to give up a
pair of runs, but limited the Cougars
after that.
“She doesn’t throw real hard,”
Stirling said of Crawford, “but she
has a heavy drop at the knees, and
they could not lay off it, they’d pop
it up about every time, so she did an
excellent job for not pitching at all
this year.
“Camie did an excellent job. She
came in, threw strikes and they
couldn’t hit her and our defense
played solid, knocked some balls
down and when they got too aggressive on the base paths, that’s kind of
the way they should be.”
By that time, however, O’Brien
said he felt like his players had lost
intensity.
“Lost focus at the plate, too,”
O’Brien said. “It’s hard to bat against
something like that; I thought some
of us fought through it better than
others, but that’s just the way it is
and we’ll move on.”
Two-time all-state pitcher and
DMACC recr uit Ashley Sicard
struck out five of the first six batters
she faced and ended up fanning 13,
also helped out her cause by hitting
a two-run blast to left in the opening
inning.
Sicard later hit a run-scoring
double off of Shultz, but was 0-for-2
against Crawford.
In the later innings, Sicard gave
up three hits and the defense committed four errors as North Butler started making contact. Shultz
scored twice, hitting a double in the
fourth and scoring on what should
have been an out at first, but turned
into an error.
Later she hit a rocket that ticked
off of the glove of AGWSR left fielder
Megan Marlette and came around to
score on an RBI single by Crawford.
“Our offense did well,” North
Butler coach Jeff Stirling said. “We
scored four runs off of her (Sicard)
and she throws hard. So, we picked
up a couple of things; got the bunt
down and they threw the ball around,
so it kind of showed us a couple
things and if we do have to face them
in the post-season, we’ll take that, put
it in the bank and kind of remember
what we need to out of that.”
At that point, the Bearcats were
forcing a few things and took advantage, like going from first to third on
a sacrifice bunt attempt.
“I can’t say enough, I told a runner to do something on the base
paths, and they didn’t hesitate and
they did it,” Stirling said. “So it is
kind of interesting just to check that
out. Kind of what I was looking for
to get some tendencies out of them.”

test
BY KRISTI NIXON
HAMPTON – As recent as late April, the members of the Hampton-Dumont baseball team were
teammates with a lot of the members of the opposing
dugout on Monday, June 8.
Never mind the fact that the Bulldogs were 6-0
going in and Iowa Falls-Alden was 1-5.
The two teams know each other’s tendencies too
well in order for this game to be a blowout. And it
was far from one as H-D emerged from a 6-2 grindit-out win to go to 7-0 overall.
“When you know what the other team is trying to
do and they know what our players are wanting to do,
it creates an advantage to the other team,” said winning pitcher Cole Miller, “but it goes both ways, so it
wasn’t too big of an advantage.”
Bulldog head coach Matt Lokenvitz thought that
regardless of the two team’s knowledge of each other, it is a type of rivalry game that will be close regardless.
“Iowa Falls and us always have good battles regardless of who is better or who is worse or any of
that stuff,” Lokenvitz said. “We always battle each
other pretty well. I remember a couple of years ago
they were a lot better than us and it took a walk-off
home run by them to beat us. We are going to grind
it out with these guys every single game that we have

to play with them.
“This is just another sign that, you know, this team
is maturing. A couple of years ago, this would have
happened we would have lost this game. We weren’t
hitting the ball and doing that stuff (then). Now we
are able to put timely hits together, get enough runs
and hold them to two, so that’s good.”
Trevor Eiklenborg led off H-D’s first with a single
up the middle and then the next three batters reached
against Cadet starter Bo Williams.
Brandon Westendorf walked, Bailey Miller
reached via error and Cole Miller drove in the first
run with a bases-loaded walk.
Williams got the next three batters, but his struggles continued into the second in which he walked
four and gave up a two-run single to Eiklenborg.
After issuing his fourth walk of the second, he had a
short conversation with his coach and left the game for
Logan Krause, who got Cesar Baez to fly out to short
left and picked up the double play as Dalton Loyd made
a good throw to get Eiklenborg at the plate.
But by then, the Bulldogs had a 3-0 lead and it
was going to be an uphill battle for the visitors.
Cole Miller got nine Cadets to strike out, five in
the first two innings.

“and just being able to place my pitches was

He gave up single runs in the fourth and fifth

The win put H-D in very rare territory. Only
two other Bulldog baseball teams have started
the season 7-0 and it put them in position to tie
and eventually surpass the mark for best start
to a season (8-0) in school history.
“That was kind of one of our goals,” Lokenvitz said. “We thought with our season to
start, we thought we could finish somewhere
around 10-3 if not better than that for the start
mark and so any time we can set a goal for that
and reach those goals is good for us.
“We aren’t talking about it, not telling the
kids that stuff because we don’t want to add any
more pressure than they already have to deal
with.”
Cole Miller added, “I just hope we can keep
it going. It’s been a fun ride so far and it’s just
getting started.”

Reader of the Week at the Hampton Public Library is Sofia Gonzalez, age 5, and going into kindergarten. Sofia is the daughter of Val
and Ozzy Gonzalez and her favorite
book is “Skippyjon Jones in Mummy
Trouble” by Judith Schachner. Sofia
attends Storytime at the library.
Library Fun Fact: In the debate
over paper books versus eBooks,
Jager-Adams, a cognitive psychologist and literacy expert at Brown
University, thinks it’s possible that
deep reading, at least for many people, may eventually prove to be intertwined with the physical form of
paper books. That is all the more
reason to appreciate them.
BY DEB EISENTRAGER
The summer reading program is
officially underway. Our theme this
year is Every Hero Has a Story. Our
first program featured a local hero
and an animal hero.
We had Kiley Winterberg from the
Butler County Sheriff’s Office come
with their drug dog Laika. She is a
Belgian Malinois, so she looks like
a German Shepard with shorter fur.
Laika was born in another country
so all her commands are in another
language. She is trained to track, bite
when needed and search for drugs.
The kids learned a lot and had
some very good questions. They
asked what would happen if he said
attack in English, so Kiley did and
Laika just sat there and looked at
him. They wanted to know what
would happen if he said it in the other language. He told them she would
probably grab whoever was closest.
All of the kids backed up about
two feet. It was so funny. Before the
kids came, Kiley hid a bag of drugs
for Laika to find. The kids thought it
was pretty neat when she found them
right away. When she finds drugs,
she gets to play with a tennis ball as
a reward. The kids all got to pet Laika at the end of the program.
One of the moms told me today
her little boy talked about our program all night last night. It’s nice to
hear the kids enjoyed the program
and remember things to tell their
parents later. Our next program is
June 18 with Steve Martin from the
Butler County Nature Center. Our
movie will be “Big Hero 6.”
