FCC ACQUIRES FULL INTEREST IN ROBINSON ESTATE
St. John’s
Scandinavian
bake sale
BY NICK PEDLEY
Thanks to a generous gift from a
former Hampton resident, Franklin
County Conservation is now the sole
proprietor of one of the area’s most
unique pieces of real estate.
JoElla Helmers, sister of the late
Bill Robinson III, donated half-interest of her family’s 16-acre property to the conservation department
earlier this fall. The contribution
mirrored Robinson III’s previous donation and gave the department full
control of the sprawling estate located near the Hampton Country Club.
“It was really nice of her. When
you go out there, it’s just a really neat
area,” said Jason Gooder, Franklin County Conservation director.
The public is invited to visit
the “Danish church on the hill”
for a Scandinavian bake sale
and quilt raff le on Saturday,
Nov. 7 from 9:30–11 a.m., at St.
John’s Lutheran Church. The

south on blacktop).
guesthouse and various sheds. Board
members felt it would be difficult to
renovate the ailing buildings, and
other projects simply seemed more
pertinent.
Helmers, who held the other
half-interest in the property, debated her options as well. Following
months of back-and-forth discussion, the South Carolina woman decided to give her portion of the property to the conservation department
free of charge.
“As time went on and we continued to visit with each other, we talked about what the property meant to
us and the community,” Gooder said.
“JoElla kind of felt that it might be

Los Niños del Tepeyac, a folkloric Mexican dance group, shared traditional dances and dress with an excited crowd at the Windsor Theatre
Sunday.
Sponsored by La Luz Hispana
with a grant from the Community
Foundation of Franklin County,
Bea Gallo-Ray, director of the Des
Moines-based group, brought seven of her young dance students to
perform.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted
to do,” said Carmen Hernandez, director of La Luz Hispana. “People need to
see the richness of the culture.”
The performance included the
director speaking in English and
Spanish about the cultural significance of the dances and dress, which
represented Michoacán, Guanajuato,
Zacatecas and Jalisco; four of the 31
Mexican states.
Hernandez hoped the performance brought a sense of energy and
excitement to the audience.
“For the children to see that,
hopefully it brings a sense of being
proud of where they’re from and
what they could be doing,” Hernandez said.
Gallo-Ray was born in Mason
City and said she was the only one of
nine siblings to take a large interest
in her family’s Mexican heritage.
“I was born in the U.S., but my
heart is Mexican,” she said.

Five individuals have been
charged in connection with a string
of vandalism that occurred throughout Hampton earlier this year.
Police say Francisco Ozuna, 18,
Giovanny Palacios-Hernandez, 18,
Irving Mora, 19, Cassandra Johnson, 17, and a fifth unnamed suspect
spray painted graffiti at multiple
businesses and other locations this
summer. The Hampton Police Department charged all five individuals Oct. 27 with varying counts of
Criminal Mischief following a fourmonth investigation.
The four named suspects are
from Hampton. All five individuals were charged with one count of
Second Degree Criminal Mischief
for allegedly spray painting graffiti
on the Rolling Prairie Trail and footbridge.

Sheffield woman
fights north Iowa
homelessness
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
Homelessness may look different in north Iowa than it does in big
cities, but that hasn’t stopped one
Sheffield woman from fighting it by
offering a helping hand to those in
need.
Jeannie Kingery, executive director for the Northern Lights Alliance
for the Homeless, is organizing “An
Evening of Hope and Promise” for
Nov. 7 in Mason City to raise awareness and funds for the organization.
“The people that are homeless
here in north Iowa are not like the
people you see in the cities,” Kingery
said. “They’re not out on the corners
[or] under bridges for the most part.”

Farming typically isn’t a glamorous career. Long hours spent tending fields and raising livestock keep
farmers out of the spotlight, only to
be seen during harvest season or other busy months.
However, every now and then
their dedication pays off in big ways.
Such was the case recently for
Mike and Doug Pralle. The Hampton brothers were featured in Beck’s
Hybrids “Why I Farm” campaign,
which honors farmers by sharing
their personal stories through the
eyes of family members and friends.
Refer to video online
The “Why I Farm”
documentary featuring the
Pralle brothers, along with
interviews from their family and
friends, can be viewed online at
www.whyifarm.com.
“My first question was why us?
I didn’t really get it,” said Doug.
“We’re not different from anyone
else in the county that farms, but
they just happened to pick us.”
A production crew spent three
days this spring interviewing the
brothers’ family, friends and other
loved ones. Their emotional testimony told the story of how Mike and
Doug became farmers through the
legacy of their late father, Dwight,
and guidance from their grandfather,
Vernon.
According to Doug, the brothers
were introduced to agriculture at a
young age and “always loved farming growing up.”

“Adding new acres to what we already have is always a good thing.”
Helmers’ donation closed the
book on a rather interesting transaction process more than a year in the
making.
Unbeknownst to conservation officials, Robinson III had willed the
department his eight-acre stake in
the property prior to his death. The
conservation department became
half-owners of the property when
he died in September 2013, which
forced the board to weigh its options.
Initially, members voted to sell
Franklin County Conservation’s
half-interest in the property. The department controlled the west side of

“Anchor’s
Aweigh”
drops Nov.
14-15 at CLW
BY NICK PEDLEY
Yet another laugh-filled play will
greet local theater goers next weekend during the Hampton-Dumont
Drama Department’s performance of
“Anchor’s Aweigh: A Farce at Sea.”
The comedy features a 28-member cast and tells the story of a singles cruise on the dilapidated S.S.
Flounder. As a veteran ship captain
struggles with his rookie crew, a
colorful group of passengers climbs
aboard looking for love on the high
seas. Hilarity ensues as they mingle
among themselves in hopes of finding that special someone.
Director Tammy Morris said she
picked the play because of its large
cast and interesting set options. Multiple new faces tried out for the production this year, and Morris was able
to give each one a part.
“Not only do they get to learn the
play really well, we won’t be hunting for
new people every year now that they’ve
jumped in,” Morris said. “Especially
freshmen. It’s a great way for them to
have a small role and test things out.”
The cast has met for practice
three times a week since mid-September. Morris said they’ve worked
hard so far and have been great at
memorizing their lines.
“This has been the best year,” she
said. “I told them in the beginning
that they couldn’t take their scripts on
stage, and that I would take them away.
They’ve been very good about it.”
“Anchor’s Aweigh” is a change of
pace from last fall’s performance of
“The Music Man.” There will be no

“Musicals are always harder just
because there’s so many moving
parts,” she said. “But they are reward-
ing. I love having music and working
with Jesse [Bunge].”
The drama department certainly
seemed to reap the benefits of their
hard work last year. Hampton-Dumont won three separate awards for
its production of “The Music Man” at
the Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards, including an award for
“Outstanding Scene.”
Whether or not “Anchor’s Aweigh”
yields the same amount of success is
yet to be seen, but Morris was confident audience members would enjoy it
nonetheless.
“There should be a lot of laughs,”
she said.

She started the nonprofit dance
group in 1984 to teach that culture
through dance to interested children. When funding is available,
she brings a teacher from Mexico to
present.
The ruffled dresses and embroidered suits worn were based on the
ones that professional dancers would
wear, down to the last detail. Gallo-Ray sews most costumes herself,
relying closely on a book for cultural
accuracy. If she can’t find the right
pattern for a costume, one of the
dance moms who works at a company that makes stamps will have one
made to get the design right.
Participants said the group is like
a family. Together, they learn about
culture in both English and Spanish.
“When I’m at school and someone asks about my culture, this gives
me an answer,” participant Gustavo
Smith said.
Following a previous performance, Gallo-Ray said a man in the
audience had noticed a boy change
demeanor and stand proudly the
minute he put on his sombrero to
dance.
“I think this makes them proud of
who they are,” she said. “You hear
so many negative comments about
any culture, this just helps them appreciate it.”
She urged children in the audience to learn Spanish and cited its
importance in many careers.

Additionally, Palacios-Hernandez, Mora and the fifth unidentified
person were each charged with three

Mischief. The trio allegedly spray
painted graffiti at the Union-Pacific
Railroad building, Christensen Jewelry, Hampton Chronicle, Breadeaux

Hampton police issued a warrant
for the arrest of the fifth suspect because he moved out of state during

identified until his arrest.
According to Franklin County
Conservation director Jason Gooder,
an infrared camera captured the suspects vandalizing the Rolling Prairie
Trail in early September. The images
were turned over to Hampton police,

Gooder said damage and cleanup

The conservation department had

They remember helping their dad

and grandpa with seasonal duties
other chores, which sparked a
passion that grew into a career as
of Gruelke and
they grew older.
Unfortunately, tragedy rocked the
parking lot family
in 1990 when Dwight lost a
BY TRAVIS FISCHER
The Hampton Planning and Zoning Commission met with a full
house on Nov. 2 as they discussed
the possibility of rezoning two lots
of property on the south end of
Hampton.
The lots in question are owned
by Butch Gruelke, who has made a
request to the Hampton City Council that they be rezoned from Residential to Arterial Transitional
(AT). The first of the lots, referred
to as “lot one” rests directly to the
west of Gruelke’s auto body business on Highway 65 and has, for
many decades served as a parking
area for the property. The second
of the lots, “lot two,” is a vacant lot
further to the west across the street
from lot one.
At the meeting, the zoning board
heard statements from residents both
for and against the idea of rezoning
the two properties. The meeting was
moderated by Commission Chairman Ron Schermer, who began by
acknowledging a conflict of interest
would prevent him from voting on
the matter and that he would try to
avoid making comments one way or
the other during the discussion.
Representing Gruelke at the public hearing was his attorney, Brian
Miller, who informed the board that
lot one had previously been zoned
as commercial in 1971 and believed
that it was redefined as residential
by mistake during an early 2000s
rezoning project. Most of the parties involved were unaware that the
property had been zoned residential
until the recent conflict.
Miller emphasized that along
with the precedence, rezoning the
lot is becoming a necessity as Gruelke’s auto body business expands and
brings in more employees.
Franklin County Economic Director Karen Mitchell also spoke
in favor of the rezoning proposal,
noting that the success of Gruelke’s
business has been a economic boon
for that area of the city.
“This is a great example of the
very thing that Hampton city government should be encouraging,”
Mitchell said. “We should, as a comSee ZONING BOARD: Page 8
lengthy battle with cancer. Mike and
Doug were left without a father, and
their mother, Charlane Pralle-Janssen, was left with two young boys
and a farm.
Times were difficult, but there
was light at the end of the tunnel.
Vernon picked up in his son’s absence and helped raise the boys as
they grew into teenagers, teaching
them about farming and other important life lessons.
The two boys also learned to lean
on each other.
“Where one is strong, the other is
weak; where one is weak, the other
is strong,” said their mother. “They
compliment each other.”
The compassionate remark was
one of many featured in the short
film. Mike and Doug were humbled
by the kind words from their peers,
even if it made them a little uncomfortable. They prefer staying out of
the limelight but saw an opportunity
to promote farming through the documentary.
LOCAL NEWS
“Everybody knows what farming
is around here, but people in bigger
cities have no indication,” Doug
said. “They think it’s just a big factory deal and don’t understand that it’s
families and grassroots.”
Doug’s response was one of many
reasons why he and Mike agreed to
share their story. The filming process was a bit strange, but the brothers felt it was important to show agriculture in a positive light.
“I don’t know that there’s ever been
a camera on the farm, so that was
different,” Doug said. “But we’ve received a lot of comments, all good. A
lot of people have watched the video.”
So why do the Pralles farm? For
Mike, it was a love of the land.
“Farmers do care about the land.
We drink the water right from underneath the ground that we farm,”
he says in the video. “It’s important
to let everybody else know that, too.
Farmers do care about the land.”
Doug offered a more personal
perspective.
“It’s the best way to make a living. It’s entrepreneurship,” he said.
“You get out of it what you put in. I
guess I farm because it gives me an
opportunity to control my own destiny.”
ROBINSON
The conservation board has since
rescinded its decision to sell the
property, but future plans remain
uncertain. Board members have expressed interest in turning the area
into a campground or park; however,
funding limitations could prolong
the process.
The conservation department is
also busy with other projects like the
Rolling Prairie Trail and upgrades to
Mallory Park, which take precedence.
“Once we get some of these other
things done, we’ll zero in on goals
for the property and start the planning process,” Gooder said. “I’m
hoping to look at grant opportunities
over the winter.”
The fate of the house is one of the
biggest questions faced by the conservation board. The unique brick
dwelling features multiple rooms,
an indoor pool and other interesting
characteristics, but it poses hurdles.
The interior is extremely dilapidated
due to years of neglect and needs extensive renovations.
The house would also need to
be made handicap-accessible if the
conservation department opened
it for public use. Gooder said he
and the board have discussed moving the conservation department’s
headquarters into the estate, but that
might be a long shot.
“It’s an initial thought and nothing more than that right now. It’s
all contingent on funding and those
types of things,” he said.
For now, the conservation department is focused on cleaning up the
property and creating maintenance
efficiencies. Workers have already
improved the yard’s appearance this
year by removing multiple dead and
dying trees. Next spring, the department intends to plant native prairie
grasses and wildflowers in the front
yard to reduce mowing requirements.
“That’s where we’re at with it,”
Gooder said. “It’s a full plate right now.”
Though future plans are undecided, the conservation director
was enthusiastic about the property’s potential.
“Everybody’s excited about it.
The board likes the look of the home
and the size of the property,” he said.
“It’s just a tough decision to make on
what to do with it all.”
HOMELESSNESS
People who are homeless in north
Iowa stay in abandoned houses without electricity or running water, storage units, or with family or friends,
she said, hiding
the problem from
most Iowans, especially those in
small towns.
The Northern
Lights Alliance
for the Homeless
began in 1999 and
now offers food,
shelter, medical
Kingery
and dental care,
daycare, transportation, substance
abuse treatment and employment
assistance to people in Cerro Gordo,
Floyd, Franklin, Kossuth, Mitchell, Worth, Winnebago and Wright
counties.
Last year, Nor ther n Lights
housed 398 men, women and children. That number is expected to
surpass 500 this year between their
four shelters in Mason City.
“I think the stigma that’s attached
to homelessness makes them want
to hide it,” Kingery said. “We have
such a strong work ethic here in the
Midwest that I think people are very
ashamed to be homeless.”
Kingery wants to decrease the
stigma, raise awareness and help
people get back on their feet.
The ‘why don’t they just get a job’
response to homelessness is common, she said, adding that she used
to have that reaction before working
with the homeless and seeing the human side of the issue.
“I don’t think that way anymore,”
she said. “I’ve changed my complete
perception of what homeless people
truly are. Sometimes it’s just a matter of having someone to believe in
them, because they’ve never had that
person to say ‘You can do better. You
can be better. You can do this.’”
Getting a job takes the back burner when the stress of worrying about
where to sleep consumes their mind,
Kingery said. Her organization
works to eliminate that concern by
providing a free place to stay, eat and
shower while clients try to find employment.
“They are just normal everyday
people,” Kingery said. “They’re not
lazy, they just need a hand up to get
ahead. They do truly want to be productive members of society.”
Most of the time, Kingery said
clients end up in the homeless shelters as a result of a traumatic life
event that spiraled out of control.
“The majority of our clients are
not here because of something they
did, but because of something that
happened to them,” she said.
The organization has seen growth
in recent years and looks to expand
in the future, with sights set on a
possible family shelter. Clients who
check in as a whole family must be
split into the men’s shelter and the
women and children’s shelter for
the sleeping hours and sometimes
throughout the day.
The organization operates on a
budget that is made up by 20 percent grants and 80 percent donations
from events like the one this Saturday.
“An Evening of Hope and Promise” is scheduled to last from 6-9
p.m., on Nov. 7 at the Prime n’ Wine
in Mason City. It will feature a live
auction, silent auction, hors d’oeuvres and cash bar.
Tickets are available for $40 at

Ackley death
still under
investigation
BY NICK PEDLEY
Officials are reporting no new
developments in a case involving
the questionable death of an Ackley
woman late last month.
Jennifer Dittmer, 46, died Oct.
24 at the hospital after emergency
responders were called to her Franklin County home. Due to questionable circumstances surrounding the
woman’s death, the Franklin County
Sheriff’s Office and other local law
enforcement agencies launched an
investigation into the case.
According to Franklin County
Chief Deputy Linn Larson, the case
is not being investigated as a homicide. Dittmer’s body was sent to the
State Medical Examiner’s Office
for an autopsy. Preliminary results
found no indication of blunt force
trauma or other suspicious injuries.
“Unless there’s something earth
shattering with the case, we’ll just
wait to get the results of the autopsy
and toxicology report back,” Larson
explained. “Those usually take a
while.”
Larson said in a previous interview that follow-up investigations
are common when a death occurs
outside the immediate care of a physician or other medical professional.
“Once it was determined that
there was no blunt force trauma or
anything like that, we start to move
away from suspicious activity and
onto medical or accidental causes,”
he said.
Larson didn’t expect any charges
to be filed in the case. A search warrant was executed on Dittmer’s home
following her death, and authorities
say her husband, Randall Dittmer,
has cooperated fully with the investigation.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s
Office is the lead agency for the
case. Assisting agencies include the
Iowa Division of Criminal Investigations, Hardin County Sheriff’s
Office and the Ackley Police Department.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL
Chronicle Staff
Despite flaws, budget
deal a positive step
You missed an incredible development last week if you
weren’t paying attention to the news: Congress passed a
two-year budget, proving it can reach bipartisan agreement
and create some semblance of a functioning government.
The deal suspends the nation’s debt limit through March
2017 and increases federal spending for domestic and defense programs by more than $80 billion. Democrats backed
the bill with broad support, but it received a cool response
from Republicans who felt it contained too much spending.
Despite criticism, the deal will avert a government default
and end a lengthy battle between the president and Congress
over future fiscal policy.
The budget deal isn’t perfect. However, it’s nice to see
Congress come to an agreement and avoid more patchwork
fixes. The past five years have been marred by last-minute compromises that led to instability, fears of default and
threats of shutdowns. Simply put, Congress had been governing by crisis and it was getting old.
Lawmakers still have to adopt spending bills for the next
two years, but the budget deal will reduce the risk of a shutdown by setting spending targets and allowing Congress to
return to the regular appropriations process. It also gives
members a chance to regroup and rethink the budget negotiation process. Many lawmakers have decried the current
system and feel party leadership makes too many backdoor
deals. Their claims seem warranted, and Congress should
shift gears by making the process more inclusive. New
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has made it a priority moving forward and it will be interesting to see if he follows
through.
While the pros and cons of this deal will be debated
at length, Americans can rest easy now that it’s in place.
The days of impending deadlines and other calamities will
seemingly get put on hold for the next two years, which is a
positive step and a welcomed change. Governing by crisis is
no way to run a country. Hopefully Congress finally figured
that out.
Media meltdowns
Much has been made in the aftermath of last week’s Republican presidential debate. Though candidates fought
ferociously to gain an edge on stage, most attention was
focused on the head-scratching questions posed by the debate’s moderators.
By most accounts, CNBC’s crew did a less-than-stellar
job. They were booed by the audience, criticized by the candidates and seemed rather unprepared for the event. This situation came to a head when candidate Ted Cruz lashed out at
the group, criticizing their questions and alleging bias. Cruz
later capitalized on the outburst by declaring “war on the liberal media” and raising $1.1 million the day after the debate.
The remarks made by Cruz and other candidates were inflated and self-serving, but they’re worth looking at. Many
of the moderators’ questions seemed out of place and irrelevant. Jeb Bush was asked about online sports betting, Donald Trump was asked if he was running a comic-book presidential campaign, and one question seemed to belittle Marco
Rubio’s age. Those questions failed to add substance to the
debate and demeaned the political process. Voters can’t determine a candidate’s stance on important issues like economic policy if moderators fail to ask the proper questions.
With the CNBC debate in the rearview, it will be important
for future moderators to learn from the mistakes and create
more substantive discourse. Strong questions bring out each
candidate’s true colors and give voters insight into their platforms. Last week’s debate fell short in that regard, and voters
can only hope things improve at the next one. The GOP field
is overcrowded and could benefit from tough questions that
separate strong candidates from the rest of the pack.
The red capes are coming
It’s official! We are living in a Supergirl world.
Jeb Bush wasn’t the only one who
excitedly tuned in for the primetime
premier of CBS’s entry into the super hero television market. The first
episode raked in a whopping 16 million viewers, which is pretty impressive considering the pilot episode
was leaked to the Internet several
months ago.
Personally speaking, I liked the
first episode well enough. It was fun
and funny, but didn’t seem to mind
getting down and dirty when it came
time to have the super-powered
aliens start punching each other.
Other than some cringe worthy dialogue, generally a result of the show
making sure you haven’t forgotten
that Supergirl is both a super hero
and a woman, as though that’s some
stunning revelation, I think the show
is off to a pretty good start.
But wow, there sure are a lot of
comic book based shows out there.
They’re even starting to bump into
each other. In an appropriate twist,
particularly considering the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice” movie, CBS’s “Supergirl” is
running head-to-head against Fox’s
“Gotham,” in the same timeslot.
So to celebrate yet another entry
into the market, let’s do a quick rundown of what’s out there to watch.
Arrow
I like “Arrow,” but last season
didn’t make it easy. Still, I remain
hopeful that things will pick up
again in this new season, particularly with the news that at least one episode will feature the return of Matt
Ryan as Constantine after his own
show was tragically ended last year.
“Arrow’s” largest problem is that
it suffers from something of an identity crisis. Originally a “realistic”
adaptation of the Green Arrow, the
show started out with the philosophy that the more fantastic elements
of comic book characters should be
toned down.
That philosophy has been changing as the show adds super-humans,
ninja assassins and now magic into
the mix. However, the transition
from grim and gritty to fun and
fantastic has not been particularly
smooth. It has a hard time reconciling the conflicting tones as its main
character shifts from a murderous
vigilante to a more colorful costumed crimefighter.
AGE OF
THE GEEK
Travis
Fischer
The Flash
Racing into its second season,
“The Flash” was easily one of the
best new shows of last year. Spinning off from “Arrow,” the story of a
young Barry Allen quickly matched
and surpassed its parent show and
now seems to be setting the pace for
the CW’s joined DC Universe.
The spin-off has been so successful that players from both “Arrow”
and “The Flash” (including former
Superman and Iowa native, Brandon
Routh) will be coming together with
“DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” early
next year.
Gotham
“Gotham” was something of a
pleasant surprise last season. I was
afraid that the show would be nothing but another police procedural
with the occasional comic reference.
Instead, I got a show so spectacularly over-the-top that you can’t help
but be entertained.
So far, the second season continues to impress with some great performances from actors that were apparently told to abandon the concept
of restraint. That said, I worry that
the “Rise of the Villains” may be relying too much on bringing in Gotham’s most famous costumed crazies, a warning sign that the show is
already starting to run out of ideas.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
With only a single entry on network television, and a spin-off at
that, Marvel doesn’t have the TV
presence that DC has. Still, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is no
slouch.
Mixing metahuman antics with
spy games, the show really hit its
stride last year and continues to
pick up the pace for its third season.
In particular, last week’s episode,
“4,722 Hours,” will probably go
down as a landmark episode for the
series.
Also, special mention to “Marvel’s Agent Carter,” which will continue to serve as a mid-season filler
while the show is on break. Follow-
ing a successful first series, Hayley
Atwell will return in 2016 for more
late-’40s spy action.
Jessica Jones and Daredevil
Not technically television, Marvel’s cinematic universe shows its
darker side on Netflix. Last April we
got the amazing “Daredevil” series.
This year, along with a second season of “Daredevil,” we’ll get “Jessica
Jones,” the story of a jaded metahuman turned private detective.
“Jessica Jones” hits Netf lix on
Nov. 20 and “Daredevil” season two
should be released next April.
The Walking Dead
It’s not all capes and masks.
“The Walking Dead” is shambling
through its sixth season on AMC. I
admit I stopped watching the show
a few years ago, but I assume Rick
is still making really bad decisions,
Daryl is still awesome and somebody is looking for Carl.
And I kinda doubt you-know-who
is really dead.
iZombie
Considering my love of zombie movies, it’s odd that I don’t
watch “iZombie” either. Of course,
“iZombie” is hardly a traditional
zombie story. Instead, it features
a “high-functioning” zombie that
solves crimes by eating the brains,
and thus gaining memories, of murder victims.
I’ve heard nothing but good
things about the show, so perhaps I’ll
binge watch the first season one of
these days.
Lucifer
What if the devil got bored and
decided to abandon hell, move to
Los Angeles, open a piano bar and
occasionally help police catch criminals?
I guess we’ll find out later this
year.
That’s everything confirmed for
this year, but there’s even more coming down the pipe. Rumors abound
of a “Teen Titans” show on Spike
TV, a “Krypton” show on Syfy and
two “X-Men” based shows on FX
and Fox, among many others.
This bubble may burst some day,
but it’s safe to say that comic book
geeks won’t be hungry for new adaptations any time soon.
Travis Fischer is a news writer
for Mid-America Publishing and
watches more comic book characters on TV than he reads in comic
books nowadays.
Caution flags
With Halloween behind us, that
means the holiday season is right
around the corner. Soon we will be
getting ready to spend time with
family and friends over Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners as we
head into the New Year. It’s hard to
believe that we are only about two
months away from 2016!
Two weeks ago the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) held its
October meeting, where they projected how much revenue the state
can expect to collect during the current fiscal year and next year. The
REC consists of three members: one
from the legislative branch, one from
the executive branch and a member
of the public.
The R EC projected that the
state stands to collect $7.054 billion during the current fiscal year
(FY16), compared to the $7.175 billion that the group had projected
earlier in March. That’s a reduction
of $121 million from what we were
anticipating. The panel cited the lagging farm economy and f lat sales
and use tax growth as the main driver for the drop in revenue.
The REC described the current
revenue situation to that of an airplane hitting a patch of turbulence.
The first few months of the current
fiscal year have seen slow revenue
growth, and as a reaction to that,
UNDER THE
GOLDEN
DOME, TOO
Linda
Upmeyer
they made a cautious estimate. Iowa’s economy is in relatively good
shape. The state has low unemployment, encouraging wage growth and
a low cost of living, so I’m optimistic
that state revenue is just experiencing a hiccup and will get back on
track in the coming months.
Situations like this are exactly
why House Republicans adopted our
four principles for responsible budgeting:
• We will spend less than the state
collects;
• We will not use one-time money
to fund ongoing needs;
• We will not balance the budget
by intentionally underfunding programs;
• We will return unused tax dollars to Iowa’s taxpayers.
Had the Legislature spent to the
levels that Democrats were proposing last session, the state’s ending
balance would have been depleted.
Six years ago this month, Gov. Chet
Culver made a 10 percent acrossthe-board cut in order to balance
the budget because of unsustainable promises. Schools were forced
to raise property taxes to cover the
shortfall when their budgets had
money stripped away at a moment’s
notice. House Republicans do not
want to return to those days, which
is why we fight so hard to maintain
our budgeting principles and manage Iowa’s budget like that of a family or business.
Additionally, the REC also made
their first projection for next fiscal year (FY17). The committee
estimated that the state will collect
$7.348 billion in FY17, which would
be an increase of $174.6 million
compared to what was appropriated last legislative session. The REC
will meet again in December to give
the final projection before the 2016
session, which we will begin building the state’s budget off of. In the
meantime, House Republicans will
use this initial projection as a starting point to begin working through
the budget and will update accordingly in December.

questions about the budget or other
issues before us, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached

Coming soon to a neighborhood
near you: Refugees. A new kind of
foreign invasion is about to change
our daily lives. Thanks to the neocons, increased diversity will enrich
our cultural experience.
There is much talk of welcoming the new arrivals to our kind and
caring embrace (after all, they flee
the results of our intervention). And
much talk is also about turning them
away (such icky multiculturalism
will disrupt our lives terribly).
In Austria, which is in the path
from Syria to the generous (so far)
state of Germany, gun stores are sold
out. A new culture that views women
as targets is making European women terrified at the prospects. The rest
of Europe doesn’t have the gun store
problem, as they abandoned the idea
of legal self defense long ago.
There is a reason for government:
Enforcement of rules common to the
inhabitants of a defined area.
In a household, mom and dad are
the government. Well, maybe not
so much anymore now that dad is a
government check and commitment
is an anachronism. In a city, the city
council and mayor use the police department to assure residents that cultural norms are not violated.
There is a reason
for government:
Enforcement of
rules common to
the inhabitants
of a deÀned area.
Not long ago in the upper reaches of the Amazon, cultural norms
included raiding and eating nearby
tribes. That is why their government is there and ours is here. We
wouldn’t want those Amazonians
coming up here and eating us, and
they would probably resent it if we
forced them to eat mac and cheese
instead of roast bicep.
Governments do their job best
when the limits of their effectiveness
guide their scope.
Smugglers who once found profit
in guns and drugs are now moving
people from war-torn Middle Eastern countries to Western Europe.
The people are locked in trucks and
abandoned factories as they wait for
their ride. The smugglers rape and
steal, then ditch them at any sign of
trouble. Once regal neighborhoods
in Bulgaria are now marketplaces
for unscrupulous currency exchangers and traffickers.
Politicians in the West are offering asylum to the refugees because
they feel guilty for what they have
wrought. The Middle East was once
fairly stable. Dictators ruled over
people unaccustomed to ruling over
themselves. We traded with these
countries on terms agreed to by both
sides in spite of cultural differences.
But that was not enough. In Iran,
our CIA and British intelligence
agents overthrew duly elected Mohammad Mossadegh and installed
their ruthless puppet king, the Shah,
in 1953 in order to have better access
to Iranian oil. This is at the root of
Iranian hatred of America. In 1979
the Iranians took their country back.
This is just one example of how
American support for one side of
private disputes in sovereign nations
has created our enemies over the
years. The others are more recent
and should be familiar with anyone
who follows the news.
Our regal neighborhoods could
become like the dens of iniquity that
are developing in Europe as those
poor souls f lee the terror that our
meddling politicians have unleashed
in the Middle East.
And what of the lives of those
politicians? They will be secure and
safe in their gated communities, accompanied by their taxpayer-funded
bodyguards. We who enabled those
politicians will be left to deal with
not just traffickers, as in the war on
drugs, but also with the trafficked,
much of which is an unseemly lot.
Too bad we didn’t think of all this
when we were acting all macho like
John Wayne, striking out to make
the rest of the world like our own. Instead, we get our own neighborhood
becoming like the rest of the world.

Senior Crescencio Sosa and junior Halie Mollenbeck have plenty
of impressive hadware to prove that
they were Hampton-Dumont’s top
two cross country runners this season. The medals they won also represent milestones during the season.
For instance, Crescencio shaved over
two minutes off his time this fall,
while Halie reduced hers by nearly
two minutes. Both of them ran in the
state cross country meet Oct. 29 at
Fort Dodge.
On October 20, Shaylyn Wiarda of CAL High School qualified to compete in the State Cross
Country meet for the second time.
She ran against 124 girls and finished eighth with 16:07 minutes.
To train for state, Shaylyn runs
an average of three miles every
day. Throughout the week she
runs with her team. On weekends
she runs the three miles with her
mother following her in the car.
Shaylyn competed at the State
Cross Country meet on Saturday,
Oct. 29, at Fort Dodge.

munity, support our entrepreneurs.”
However, several members of the
community that live near the lots
were against the idea of rezoning.
“I think it’d really lower my property value,” said Jerald Whipple, who
lives north of the lots.
Whipple expressed concerns that
the lots wouldn’t just be used for employee parking, but to place junked vehicles and steel containers. According
to some of the neighbors, this has already been an issue with the property.
“We kept quiet for a very long
time,” said Sue Rodemeyer, who
lives directly north of lot one. “It’s
just gradually gotten worse.”
Gruelke already has a steel container placed on the property, however the discussion about what to do
with it will be addressed by the city
council at future meetings.
Butch and Jennifer Gruelke emphasized the need to rezone lot one in
order to satisfy their parking needs,
and they said that they have no current
plans for lot two.
After hearing from the public,
Zoning Administrator Doug Tarr recommended to the board that they support the rezoning of lot one, but not
lot two, due to the lack of a definitive
plan for the property. Tarr also noted
that junk vehicles cannot be stored
outside regardless of whether the
property is zoned residential or AT.
The board conferred with Tarr’s
recommendation, voting unanimously
to recommend the rezoning of lot one
and against the rezoning of lot two.
The recommendation will be
given to the Hampton City Council,
who will discuss the matter further
at their next meeting.

The Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce’s Main Street Design
Committee is looking for a location to implement its new Alley Art project.
Alley Art is the work of artists to create outside murals on walls of buildings in alleyways. The Chamber’s Design Committee is looking at implementing such a project in Hampton’s commercial downtown district. This
would be a way to beautify normally bland or unsightly walls. LeMars is
a good example of a community that has successfully implemented such a
program.
Those interested in making Hampton a nicer looking place are invited to
submit a building recommendation. If you are not the owner of the building
or the business occupying the building, please ask for the owner or manager’s
permission to do so.
To submit a recommendation or for more information, contact Chamber director Newton Grotzinger at [email protected], or call (641) 456-5668.

rush past
Cougars
BY SCOTT BIERLE
ALGONA – Five rushing touchdowns fueled Algona Garrigan to a
36-7 victory over the AGWSR football team in the Class A playoff’s
first-round on a cold and windy Conway Field here Wednesday.
The top-ranked Golden Bears
scored 15 first quarter points and
tacked on seven in the second,
third and fourth periods to make it
a one-and-done post-season for the
Cougars.
It was Garrigan’s third and fourth
touchdowns that broke the backs of
AGWSR. The Golden Bears trotted
into halftime with a 22-0 advantage, scoring with just 41 seconds
showing before the break, and then
received the second half kickoff and
scoring to build a commanding 29-0
cushion.
“That touchdown right before
half really hurt,” said AGWSR coach
Skip Eckhardt. “We got down early
with the first two touchdowns but
were then holding our own.
“That is a good football team
and the better team won tonight. We
made some critical mistakes that
hurt, but the guys played hard.”
Golden Bears’ fullback Cameron Langerman plowed into the end
zone with both touchdowns, dragging AGWSR defenders. Langerman
scored from 14 yards right before
the break to cap a 12-play, 80-yard
drive, and then rambled the final 15
yards of a 68-yard, 11-play march to
open the third.
That is a good football
team and the better
team won tonight. We
made some critical
mistakes that hurt, but
the guys played hard.
- Skip Eckhardt, AGWSR Coach
The Cougars answered the host’s
fourth score with a Levi Stockdale
touchdown. Stockdale reached the
goal-line on a three-yard run after
Nathan Karsjens connected with Jer
Stull on an 18-yard pass to the three.
AGWSR started the drive at Garrigan’s 49 after Stull returned the kickoff 15 yards.
Garrigan built a quick 15-0 lead

playoff game at Algona on Wednesday, Oct. 28. SCOTT BIERLE PHOTO
after two possessions. Zac Kibby
called his own number on a quarterback keeper and scored from 18
yards at the 6:31 mark of the first and
a little more than three minutes later
Gibson Behr dashed down the sidelines for a 29-yard touchdown.
The Golden Bears took advantage of short fields for the scores,
recovering a fumble on AGWSR’s
game-opening possession at the 42
and then started the second possession on the 49.
After the fumble, the next five
times the Cougars touched the football ended with punts.
Garrigan generated 331 yards of offense with 303 rushing on a time-consuming 51 carries. Gibson accounted
for 127 yards on 24 attempts and Langerman 110 on 12 rushes.
The winner’s final six-pointer was a one-yard dive by Logan
Rosenmeyer at the mid-way mark of
the fourth. Kibby had a hand in all
six extra points, kicking four and
tossed a two-pointer to Gibson.
AGWSR’s offense was good for
154 yards led by Stockdale’s hardearned 88 yards on 21 tries. Mason
Eilderts had 43 on 12 rushes.
Tackle leaders for the Cougars
were Tyler Rose a team-high nine solos, three assists and a fumble recovery, Liam Stubbe 13 with six solos,
Stockdale five solo and assists each
and Stull six with five solos.
The loss closed the gridiron campaign at 4-6 for the Cougars.
Wednesday’s meeting was the
third in recent post-season play between the two teams and the grudge
BY KRISTI NIXON
WATERLOO – By the time the
Bulldogs were called a sixth time for
a double hit on a seemingly harmless set, Hampton-Dumont assistant
coach Kelli Showalter couldn’t take
it anymore.
Her outburst during Hampton-Dumont’s Class 3A regional
opener against Waterloo Columbus
earned her a rare yellow card, but it
couldn’t stop the bleeding in a 25-7,
25-7, 25-9 sweep by the Sailors over
the Bulldogs.
“She’s excitable,” H-D head coach
Dave Harms said of Showalter, “and
she is passionate about the sport. And
I felt the same way as her, but I know
that the officials are trying to do a
job; but it seemed a little lop-sided
when they were doing the same kind
of hits, or in some cases even worse,
and not getting called for it.
“And so we felt a little…the calls
were seemingly lopsided. We still
needed to do the job and it wasn’t
happening for us.”
Not only was H-D called for six
double hits, but four more were called
lifts and another play in which it appeared the Bulldogs were blocked
by Columbus on an attack, went on
to continue the play, but were instead
called for four hits.

The frustration on the calls and
the effort to make adjustments on
them were hard for H-D to manage.
But Harms tried, taking out Halie
Dombrowski, who was the recipient
of most of the calls, and inserting
Kiara Donaldson.
However, even she wasn’t safe
from all of the calls.
“Kiara Donaldson, she’s a junior
who’s worked out all season like everyone else,” Harms said, “and I give
her time, too. They had Halie’s number
tonight, it seemed like she couldn’t do
anything right and I couldn’t see anything wrong with how she was distributing the ball; we asked and they tried
to give us an explanation that she was
contacting too far back.
“You know, I couldn’t see that
myself but I just made the adjustment there with Kiara and I feel
comfortable putting her in the game.
She just doesn’t have as much experience as Halie. I’ve got confidence
in her and she had some good sets,
too, but obviously it takes away some
of our game when we’re trying to set
they recorded three aces and four
kills following a net serve by H-D to
start the match.
The Bulldogs didn’t get their first
point until Makayla Sever’s block
made it 11-1 and they tallied just one
kill in the opening set, Emily Casey’s attack that went off Columbus’
block. In fact, H-D managed just
nine kills against the Sailors, one a
tip by Dombrowski that made it 6-4
in the second set.
Still a young team, Harms’ team
will return all but three seniors in 2016.
“I talked to the team after and
I said to the seniors, ‘I’m sorry we
couldn’t do better for them tonight,’”
Harms said. “We appreciate everything you did all season, but tonight
turned out the way it was, you can’t
do anything about it now.
“The only thing we can do now
is get ready for next year and next
year is upon us and we’ll take a little breath, step back and see where
we’ve got to go from here and what
we have to do for next season in the
off-season.”
The only thing
we can do now is get
ready for next year.

the ball and can’t put it where we
need to put it because we’re afraid
that we’re going to do something
wrong because we’ve been called for
it before.”
Harms went on to say that the sets
hadn’t been called that way all season long.
“It changes things around,”
Harms said.
And Waterloo Columbus certainly didn’t need the extra help. The
Sailors rolled out to a 11-0 lead in the
opening set and only one lift call aided them. During the opening span,

FORT DODGE – For Bethany

was one spot back
in 20:45.7 on Saturday, Oct. 31.
A sophomore, Lippert was running in her second state meet, although the course was different than
she experienced it a year ago when
the meet was only a 4K.
“It’s longer than last year, you
had to prepare to pace yourself better, which is a challenge, because
you don’t want to go slow at the beginning, but you don’t want to burn
out,” Lippert said. “I think overall
we did pretty well.”
It was also different in that the
conditions were a little more soggy
than in 2014 when it was cold and
sunny. During last weekend’s race,
overnight rains that stopped about
an hour before the first race left the
course rather sloppy.
“I didn’t have the f irst-time
nerves as much, so that helped a
little, but I did a pretty good job of
training…it was a little different
day,” Lippert said. “There was some
mud and it was slippery a little bit. It
was different.”

got to run it and knew what was going on.
“I wanted to beat my time (in the
NCC) which was 19:55, but I was a
little off that.”
Lippert added, “In that one I was
toward the very front, leading, and
that always gives me a mental boost,
so it’s a little harder to run back; but
it was good, I’m happy with it.”
Fisher said that Lippert advised
her what the state field would look
like.
“She helped me a little bit,” Fisher said. “She told me there would
be a lot of people and not to get too
freaked out. It was a lot different
(seeing it). I got here and was a little overwhelmed, but I pulled myself
together.”
Knowing what she did, Lippert
stuck to her game plan.
“My plan was to run my best,”
Lippert said, “don’t get too caught up
in their pace and go too far. Run your
race and I did that.”
Fisher has the opportunity to return after completing her freshman
campaign.
“I’ll definitely be looking to come
back here the next three years,” Fisher said.

ƒ Bulldogs
oust Comets
from 2A playoffs
BY KRISTI NIXON
HAMPTON – Leading by only a
12-7 halftime score, Hampton-Dumont’s football team pinned its ears
back and went after North Polk,
forcing four second-half turnovers
to post a 26-7 Class 2A opening
round playoff victory on Wednesday, Oct. 28.
The Bulldogs (8-2) recovered
four fumbles (one in the first half)
that set a new school mark for fumbles in a season and came up with
a game-ending interception as the
clock expired to turn away the visitors.
“Defense played lights out again,”
H-D head coach Jerry Shafrath said.
“The pressure was phenomenal, the
coverage was good. We started getting to him and getting some sacks,
we could feel the momentum going.
“We were having trouble (offensively in the first half) because
they were jumping back and forth….
They were slanting to our strength
and we had to somehow figure out
where they were going to go, once
we figured out their tendency, we
were OK.”
It was the defensive turnovers
that turned into offense for H-D,
which scored on its next drive following three of the fumbles, including the first that was recovered by
Hunter Sutter, giving the Bulldogs
the lead for good with 2 minutes, 16
seconds left to go until halftime. He
also had three sacks on North Polk’s
Max Karpinske.
“That is probably my favorite part
about playing defensive end,” Sutter
said of his sacks. “The quarterback
ran out and it felt good hitting him.”
Fernando Garcia, who finished
with seven tackle assists and one solo
stop, a sack of Karpinske that caused
the third fumble of the game which
was scooped up by Logan Chipp and
returned 10 yards. Shafrath said he
thought Chipp looked to be on his
way to the end zone on the play after it was first picked up by Sutter,
stripped away, and then retrieved by
the senior defensive end.
In fact, it was only an ankle tackle by North Polk’s Josh Krehbiel that
kept him from scoring. Chipp now
has four fumble recoveries this season, moving him one shy of equaling
the school mark held by two others,
Brian Hill (1989) and Matt Rodemeyer (1997). H-D as a team now
has 18 fumble recoveries, eclipsing
the old school mark of 17 set in 1983.
“Sutter picked it up and he got
tackled and fumbled it, so I was
there and I thought I might as well
pick it up and run,” Chipp said. “All
of the sudden my leg, I felt someone
grab it and I just went down.”
Garcia also was in on the tackle
that forced the opening fumble. He
leads the team in total tackles at

CHRONICLE
It’s really big (to be in the second round of the
playoffs). We just need to keep working hard and keep
working toward the Dome. The goal is the Dome, and
I’m sure we’ll have a good shot. - Fernando Garcia
54.5, including 6.5 tackles for loss
and 5.5 sacks.
“Our defense played great,” Garcia said. “Everybody hustles to the
ball and we just work hard in practice. We just went after it and it paid
off.”
Junior r unning back Johnny
Guerrero reaped the rewards of
the defensive efforts, scoring three
touchdowns on runs of 32, 2 and 11.
He is averaging 6.2 yards per
carry and with 167 yards against the
Comets, he has bumped his season
rushing total to 1,265, good for seventh in Class 2A.
The other touchdown was by
Sutter, who scored his second touchdown of the season, his first in the
post-season.
“I went back to coach and told
him it was open,” Sutter said of his
touchdown run, “and he said, ‘we’ll
do it.’”
Shafrath added, “What a tremendous job he did for us at fullback, kid
that was our back-up quarterback all
year and got tossed into the Garner
game at halfback, a position he never
played before. What a touchdown for
him tonight, showed a lot of heart.”
Neither team reached the scoreboard in the first quarter, trading
possessions twice and each giving
the ball up on downs once.
North Polk got the first lead on a
big 81-yard pass play from Karpinske to Anthony Capaldo. H-D answered with an 11-play drive that
needed a big 22-yard pass completion from Coleton Barz to Guerrero – his only completed pass of the
game – to keep it going on 3rd-and-9
from the Bulldogs’ 28-yard line.
“We’re tough up front, you know
with Big K (Josh Knipfel),” Shafrath
said, “and (Derek) Juhl and Chipp
played well and Pablo Gonzalez and
(Aidan) Carr, all of those guys.”
Chipp also had his second
blocked punt of the season after the
Bulldogs forced the Comets to go
3-and-out to open the second half.
“The first three or four that he
punted I was close,” Chipp said, “but
he didn’t move (that time) and I just
blocked it.”
Unfortunately, that didn’t result
in points as the 22-yard field goal
attempt by Bailey Miller was blown
from the mark by the wind.
The reward for H-D’s efforts
was a road contest at defending 2A
champion North Fayette Valley (82), which boasts the biggest lineman
in the state, junior Iowa recruit Juan
Harris. Although he has only 20 total tackles, five for losses and two
sacks, his presence at 6-foot-3, 395
pounds is enough to make an opposing team’s offense nervous.
The TigerHawks are primarily a
rushing team with 3,383 yards on the
ground compared to only 511 passing.
“Last year we went pretty far,”
Chipp said. “This year we want to do
better than last year, so I think if we
come to play every game we can go
just as far if not farther.”
Garcia added, “It’s really big (to
be in the second round of the playoffs). We just need to keep working
hard and keep working toward the
Dome. The goal is the Dome, and
I’m sure we’ll have a good shot.”

Heaping helping of thirds
ƒ West Fork
girls gain team
trophy, Hansen
individual finish
BY KRISTI NIXON
FORT DODGE – If good things
come in threes, West Fork had plenty
of good to talk about after last weekend’s state cross country meet.
The Warhawk girls’ team and Jacob Hansen, running as an individual, all wound their way through a
soggy Lakeside Golf Course in Fort
Dodge for third place finishes.
“I ran it pretty well,” Hansen said.
“Obviously the mud is going to slow
you down, anyway. I got through it
and tried to play it safe around the
mud.”
Sophomore two-time qualifier
Talia Rowe added, “There was only
one really bad spot last year and this
year there was mud everywhere and
you just had to learn how to run with
it. But it was really fun.”
It was the first team trophy for the
West Fork girls after the boys’ team
had back-to-back runner-up finishes
the two previous years.
Coach Mark Twedt’s team scored
89 points, led by Kenna Weaver’s
15th place overall finish – good for
an individual medal – to take third
behind Central, Elkader (66) and
perennial cross country team power
Pekin (76).
“Starting the year, that (top three)
was our goal,” Twedt said. “We just
had to make sure we had all the piec-
West Fork’s second through fourth runners are among a pack here on
the state cross country course at Lakeside Golf Course in Fort Dodge.

es. To get that, we had to get a couple
of kids back who were hurt last year.
And we had a kid do both volleyball
and basketball, double up. And then
we had Kenna come up and do what
she did.
“A lot of things had to fall into
place. Luckily, they all did.”
Twedt said that in all of the cases for his girls’ and boys’ teams, the
pieces have fallen into place.
Kenna Weaver was ninth in team
scoring, crossing the finish line in
20 minutes, 30.8 seconds. The next
four that completed the team scoring
for the Warhawks all were within 40
seconds of each other in the 21-minute range.
That group included Maya Rowe,
Talia Rowe, Maddison Shupe and
Cailey Weaver.
“We pack-run better, so that
is what did us well, I think,” Talia Rowe said. “It went really well.
Maya actually beat me and Shupe
was right behind us, so that was really good.”
Shupe, who split much of the Fall
between volleyball and cross country, said that just concentrating on
running heading into the state meet
helped for the race.
“I got to practice with the team a
lot,” Shupe said.

Jeff Gordon celebrated his 93rd career victory in the Goody’s
Headache Relief Shot 500 at Martinsville Speedway. He will
compete for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship in the
season’s finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. There were tears
of joy in Victory Lane for Gordon, who’s at the tail end of his final
season in the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet with just three
races remaining. Gordon held off Jamie McMurray in a two-lap
run to the finish as darkness consumed the .526-mile short track.
Kenseth ended polesitter Joey Logano’s remarkable winning streak
in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup by pile-driving Logano’s
No. 22 into the wall on Lap 454 of 500. “I think what happened at
Kansas is a completely different deal,” Logano said after a visit to
the infield care center. “We were racing for the win, and he blocks
you a few times, and then we spun out.”

WEST FORK
The West Fork girls cross country team stand on the deck at Lakeside Golf Course in Fort Dodge after receiving the third place trophy and medals. They are, from left: Kenna Weaver, Talia Rowe, Cailey Weaver, Maya
Rowe, Taylor Nuehring, Kennedy Maske, Maddison Shupe and coach Mark Twedt. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE
“I got to know how people run,
what pace I should be running, I got
to run with the team because earlier
in the season I was running by myself and I kind of felt like I fell back a
little bit because I didn’t know what
everyone else is running.
“Everybody else was accelerating
and stuff and I thought I was doing
good, but I didn’t know to compare
with anybody.”
Talia Rowe, who ran in last year’s
meet, said the experience was different for a few reasons.
“My place was not as good (as last
year),” Talia Rowe said, “but it was
more competition, I think. It was
cold, but not as cold as last year. I
had more time to be here and warmup because last year I was coming
off of state cheer on the same day, so
it was kind of crazy. It was fun.”
Twedt said, “This is great, they
are going to remember this and
hopefully they remember how they
got here. That’s what really is important...Today, I’m a little bit more
satisfied than usual.”
Hansen, running in his third
straight state meet, but as an individual for the first time, posted a third
place finish after getting out to an
early lead.
“It was a pretty good race,” Hansen said. “I’d say I think I ran pretty smart to get third. I was hoping
I could place or potentially win it. I
was in position for it in the first half
of the race and then I hit the hills and
fell apart a little bit.
“It was really different (not running with a team). I’ve never not had
a team here before. It’s just different,
standing at the starting line by yourself. I’m sure Peyton Twedt felt it a
few years ago when he was a sophomore.”
With about a mile left to go, Han-
Jacob Hansen (1099) of

sen had fallen back to fourth, but
made a move and passed Nodaway
Valley’s state championship team
leader Shane Breheny down the
stretch and finished five seconds
ahead of him.
“I think I went out a little fast,”
Hansen said. “I could feel it. I felt a
little nauseous because I went out so
hard. I could feel it in my legs, too.
Overall, though, I was pretty happy
today.”
He was behind Ogden junior Andrew Stumbo and Bellevue senior
Andrew Meyer.
“My goal next year is to win it,”
Hansen said. “I know the guy who
won it this year was a junior, but I
think he had a good race. I had a
good race, too, but with the right
off-season training, especially with
track I think I can definitely make
that top spot.
“Probably my top goal next year
is to get the team to go and on track
in the summer-time. Hopefully, they
can have some good times over the
summer and make it to state.”
The girls lose three seniors, two
of which counted toward team scor-
ing at the state meet. The Warhawks
will need to reload in order to make
another run with three of the top five
returning.
“Next year we’ve just got to get
more people out,” Talia Rowe said,
“because we’ve got three seniors on
the team who helped a lot. Get more
people and get them involved early
so we can be good again.”
Shupe added, “It’s exciting. We’ve
been a team for a long time now. We
joke about how we eat every meal together because this week we’ve had...
team suppers and such. It’s crazy
how close of a team we are. It will
be interesting. I know what to expect
coming back. It will be fun, train
harder in the summer and hopefully
we’ll be able to come back.”
So committed is Hansen to reaching the top, he will miss some practice time for wrestling as the Winter
season starts to compete in some
races, although he said he wouldn’t
miss any wrestling meets. Among
the cross country races he’ll attend
are the Nike Regionals in a few
weeks and another in Kenosha, Wis.,
at the end of the month.
“I still have another month left of
cross country,” Hansen said. “At the
end of November, once that is over I
can get into wrestling and then transition into track. I’m hoping I can
run those (meets) and if the weather is right, potentially get a couple
PRs.”
Twedt said that his teams haven’t
won a state championship yet, but it
isn’t easy. He added neither is winning an individual title.
“Jacob, I know he’s disappointed,
I know he wanted to win, but he ran
strong,” Twedt said. “He’s made allstate three years in a row; and he’s a
junior. And that’s the best you can do
that way.”

Franklin General Hospital and

Medical Center are pleased
to announce that Alicia Wager,
egg bust ARNP, has joined the FGH/FMC
The team that investigated Jack
and Peter DeCoster and their egg
company following a national foodborne illness outbreak was honored
at a national awards ceremony last
month in Washington D.C.
The team received the Gaston
L. Gianni, Jr. Better Government
Award at the 18th Annual Council of
the Inspectors General on Integrity
and Efficiency (CIGIE). The award
is given annually to recognize persons who contribute to attaining
the ideals of the Inspector General
Act and work toward improving the
public’s confidence in government.
Among the team members honored
was Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter
Deegan with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa.
The Wright County egg investigative team was honored based upon
its exemplary work investigating and
prosecuting Jack and Peter DeCoster
and their Iowa egg company, Quality Egg LLC (Quality Egg), in the
wake of one of the largest foodborne
illness outbreaks in U.S. history. As
many as 56,000 people were sickened as a result of eating eggs associated with the outbreak.
In the course of its investigation,
the team uncovered evidence that
company personnel bribed an inspector of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to release eggs that had
been retained or “red tagged” for failing to meet minimum quality grade
standards. In a guilty plea, Quality
Egg acknowledged that on at least two
occasions in 2010, its employees gave
a cash bribe to a USDA inspector.
As a result of the investigation
and prosecution, both Jack and Peter
DeCoster were sentenced to serve
three months in prison and fined
$100,000. Quality Egg was ordered
to pay a fine of $6.79 million and
placed on probation for three years.
All three defendants were ordered to

First Bank Hampton was recently
awarded a $15,000 Homeownership
Fund grant by the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB
Des Moines). The grant program,
which is part of the FHLB Des
Moines Strong Communities Fund,
provides housing assistance to communities in the bank’s district.
Through the Homeownership
Fund, hardworking individuals and
families who are unable to cover upfront costs can make their dreams of
homeownership a reality. The program assists qualified families with
the down payment, closing cost,
counseling or rehabilitation of property.
Eligible homebuyers will benefit from $2,500 grant through First
Bank Hampton as a result of the
Homeownership Fund. Each year,
FHLB Des Moines returns 10 percent of its net income to communities throughout its district, an investment of more than $456 million
which has created or rehabilitated
more than 90,000 homes.
“We were very excited to learn
we had been awarded this money,”
said David Heuberger, president/
CEO of First Bank Hampton. “It is
rewarding to us as a local community bank to be able to make homeownership a reality for so many families in our area.”
If you are interested in purchasing a home using the Homeownership Fund grant, contact one of First
Bank Hampton’s experienced mortgage lenders for details.
This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it
will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this
newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.
Mildred Adaline Clemenson
Mildred “Millie” Adaline Clemenson was found brutally slain on Nov.
11, 1998 inside her rural Kensett mobile home. An autopsy indicated Clemenson died from blunt force trauma
to the head and had been dead for two
days before family members reported
her death to authorities, despite the fact
she had a plane
WLFNHW WR À\
to Arizona on
Nov. 10. On
the day of her
death, she’d allegedly gone to
the bank to cash in a large bond.
Clemenson’s only child, adopted
daughter Marcia Patton, had moved her
family into the main home and moved
Clemenson into the mobile home next
to the farmhouse the year prior to Clemenson’s death.
Clemenson had just recently become
the executor of the estate for her late
stepmother. Upon Clemenson’s death,
Patton immediately assumed the position as executor. Clemenson’s death
“made her adopted daughter a millionaire,” a family member told Iowa Cold
Cases.
Mildred Adaline Clemenson | Age: 81
Died: November 9, 1998
Hometown: Kensett

As the final harmonies of their
song filled the hall, the roar of the
applause and cheers thickened the
air. Four local men joyously acknowledged the audience and jauntily walked off stage.
There were high fives and explanations of excitement as members of
the quartet Mandatory Fun celebrated their performance at the Central
States District Barbershop Singing
Competition in Overland Park, Kan.,
Oct. 9-10.
Tony Poppens, Aplington; Paul
K r ull, Hampton; Jim Sweers,
Kanawha; and Jesse Bunge, Hampton, got together one day after a re-
hearsal with the River City Chorus
in Mason City and decided to create
the quartet. The four men rehearsed
once or twice a week through August and September and had their
first gig Oct. 3 at “An Evening Like
It Used To Be” in Hampton.
“The process of learning and rehearsing this music has taught me
a lot about what it takes to sing in a
quartet,” said Bunge, who serves as
the vocal director at Hampton-Dumont. “I can’t wait to apply these
same techniques when rehearsing
with some of my music students at
school!”
The men traveled to Overland
Park on Oct. 9 to sing in the first
round of the quartet competition,
where they showed off their singing
and their novelty smiley face vests.
The quartet narrowly missed the finals the next day by coming up 1/10
of a point shy of finishing in the top
10. However, it was announced that
the group would be mic testers for
the next evening and was awarded
District Novice Champions.
“It was an amazing feeling!”
Sweers said.
Krull agreed.
“I have never been in a quartet
that worked as hard as these guys
do,” he said. “We want to be good
and our performance at CSD proves
that we are worthy of top 10 quartet
status in the district.”
The group named themselves
Mandatory Fun. They decided on the
name after remembering a coaching
session earlier in September when
their coach said it was mandatory to
have fun while singing in quartets.
“It’s mandatory fun to sing in
a quartet. Or at least we have fun,
whether or not the audience does,”
Poppens said.
The quartet has taken a short
break during harvest season, but
they are eager to get back together
and begin learning some new music.

New youth reading program
at Hampton Public Library
Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program at
the Hampton Public Library.
The program is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a
night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years and provide their
children essential early literacy skills.
Research shows that the most reliable predictors of school success is being
read to during early childhood. Reading to children from an early age can
help close the vocabulary gap and prepare children to enter kindergarten
with the skills they need to succeed. Most importantly, sharing books with
children promotes a lifelong love of books and reading.
The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program was made possible by a
$500 donation from First Bank Hampton and is available to all families with
children between the ages of 0-5 years old. Registration is open. For more
information, call the Hampton Public Library at (641) 456-4451 or visit the
library’s website at www.hampton.lib.ia.us.
1,000 Books Before
Kindergarten Program
To encourage reading aloud to children, we have partnered with the
Hampton Public Library to fund this naƟonal program for local families
with small children. We value the importance of reading and this $500
donaƟon is just one more way we are giving back to our community.
