DQGEHQHÀWGHWDLOVIRUWKHJURXS
The supervisors gave the go-ahead for a memorandum of
understanding between the City of Hampton and Teamsters Local 238, which is representing the dispatchers during contract
negotiations. The 911 dispatchers have tried for the past two
years to come to terms with the city and county on a contract
that would switch their employment over to the county-level
under the Franklin County Emergency Management Commission (FCEMC). Once a deal is reached, the dispatchers can
move from the Hampton Police Department to the Franklin
County Law Enforcement Center and begin duties there.
Board Chair Corey Eberling explained the supervisors needed to review the memorandum of understanding to make sure

Eberling. “We aligned what we thought needed to be aligned
and left it at that.”
The supervisors felt the memorandum of understanding was
suitable, and they expressed desire to bring the prolonged negotiations to an end relatively soon. The dispatchers and their
union representation will have to approve the terms before any
other progress can be made.

Construction crews, electricians and other contractors completed
extensive remodeling work and transformed the run-down building into
a suitable shop that now houses antiques, knickknacks and other crafts.
“Basically, we gutted it completely,” said Randy. “We took everything
back to the studs and built it back up from there.”
The renovation process was long, and the Coffees admitted they ran
into a few bumps along the way. Raccoons and other vermin made

maintenance crews had originally placed
a four-sided stop sign in the middle of the
intersection, but had to remove the apparatus so snow removal could proceed
during the winter months. Four large stop
signs have since been fastened to each
corner of the intersection to remind motorists of the stop.
“My feeling was the $1,700 route was
the good way to go,” said Council Member Dick Lukensmeyer, adding that many
of the citizens he talked to wished for the
intersection to remain a four-way stop.
The council discussed a long list of

Transportation presented four options:
completely replace the all of the lights
for $150,000; refurbish the existing red,

“I can live with that,” said Council
Member Craig Eckhardt, regarding the
$1,700 option. “I agree with Dick. I think

The council unanimously agreed to proceed with the $1,700 solution, but there
were still concerns. Council Member Dyanne Pralle felt some citizens might think
the lights would eventually return to their
original three-color operation because the
yellow and green lights would remain
following completion of the plan. Pralle

Hampton Police Chief Bob Schaefer presented a department update to the group.
Schaefer reported that efforts to locate
missing Hampton man Ethan Kazmerzak
remain at a standstill. A Wisconsin-based
search and rescue team returned to the
area Dec. 12 after they reviewed some of
the sonar data collected during a late-November scan of local ponds. However,
their return trip proved as fruitless as their

“In going through the video that they
had, they found two things that they
thought deserved some more attention,”
said Schaefer. “Basically, the only thing
they found were rocks. The way it showed

enough to drive down here and check that
out. But again, all we found were rocks.
Nothing more to report on that.”

books and read it to them. The book, written
by Joseph Slate entitled “Who is Coming To
Our House,” gives a glimpse of what happened in the barn over 2,000 years ago.
“Who is coming to our house?”

Who is that someone?

the New International Version.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came
about: His mother Mary was pledged to be
married to Joseph, but before they came
together, she was found to be with child
through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her
husband was a righteous man and did not
want to expose her to public disgrace, he
had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after
he had considered this, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take
Mary home as your wife, because what is
conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She
will give birth to a son, and you are to give
him the name Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins.”
$OOWKLVWRRNSODFHWRIXOÀOOZKDWWKH/RUG
had said through the prophet: “The virgin
will be with child and will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel”--which
means, “God with us.”
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took
Mary home as his wife. But he had no union
with her until she gave birth to a son. And he
gave him the name Jesus.
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi
from the east came to Jerusalem and asked,
“Where is the one who has been born king
of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and
have come to worship him.”
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When

them where the Christ was to be born. “In

called the Magi secretly and found out from
them the exact time the star had appeared.
He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and
make a careful search for the child. As soon

may go and worship him.”
After they had heard the king, they went on
their way, and the star they had seen in the
east went ahead of them until it stopped over
the place where the child was. When they saw
the star, they were overjoyed.
On coming to the house, they saw the child
with his mother Mary, and they bowed down
and worshiped him. Then they opened their
treasures and presented him with gifts of gold
and of incense and of myrrh. And having been
warned in a dream not to go back to Herod,
they returned to their country by another
route.
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord
appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he
said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for
Herod is going to search for the child to kill
him.”
So he got up, took the child and his mother
during the night and left for Egypt, where he
stayed until the death of Herod. And so was
IXOÀOOHGZKDWWKH/RUGKDGVDLGWKURXJKWKH
prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he
gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem
and its vicinity who were two years old and
under, in accordance with the time he had
learned from the Magi. Then what was said
WKURXJK WKH SURSKHW -HUHPLDK ZDV IXOÀOOHG
“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and
great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because
they are no more.”
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord
appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and
said, “Get up, take the child and his mother
and go to the land of Israel, for those who

So he got up, took the child and his mother
and went to the land of Israel. But when he
heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea
in place of his father Herod, he was afraid
to go there. Having been warned in a dream,
he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he
went and lived in a town called Nazareth.

was about the small portion of Pope

where he criticized “trickle-down”

to say more laws are needed to control unbridled capitalism because of
these failures.
The question is, are the failures
of capitalism caused by unbridled
capitalism or by the bridle? What if
the failures were caused by manipulation or interference, rather than by
freedom? Adding more regulation
would make matters worse.

Five Years Ago
December 17, 2008
Wintry look around here—
Winter took a hiatus last Saturday
and early Sunday around here, with
temperatures rising to near 40, but
snow returned Tuesday, and 3 to 5
inches were expected in the Hampton
area.
The Dumont City Council
has had a maintenance contract
IRU WKH FLW\·V ZDWHU WRZHU ZLWK
Mcguire Iron, from South Dakota,
for the past 20 years. When that
ÀUP DVNHG IRU D UHQHZDO RI WKDW
contract when the council met in
regular session on Thursday, Dec.
11, that request was denied. The
reason? The city council decided
to keep all of its options when it
comes time to get bids on painting
the inside and outside of the water
tower. The Dumont City Council is
pondering plans to have its water
tower repainted inside and out, but
the big question is how to pay for it.

WEEKLY PRO RACING UPDATE
Jimmy Small has been tabbed to operate the Iowa
Speedway. Small was informed by NASCAR CEO Brian
France in late September that he would lead the speedway
if a deal to purchase the facility from the family of
Featherlite Trailers founder Conrad Clement was finalized.
At NASCAR, Small has worked with nearly 30 tracks to develop and
orchestrate everything from prerace activities to victory lane. “Anything a
fan sees or experiences, I’ve been involved in it,” he said. Small reiterated
NASCAR’s position when it bought the track that a Sprint Cup Series race
is not a part of Iowa Speedway’s foreseeable future. Small confirmed for
the first time, however, that 2015 has been ruled out as well. He said,
“You can never say never, but not for 2015. Our focus is going to be on
the popular series we already have.”

Jimmie Johnson was born in El Cajon, California,
and began racing motorcycles at the age of
four. After graduating from Granite Hills High
School he competed in off-road series. In 2000,
he began racing in the NASCAR Nationwide
Series. He moved to Hendrick Motorsports in
the Sprint Cup Series in 2002. After finishing
fifth in the points in his first full season, he was
second in 2003 and 2004 and fifth in 2005.
Johnson won his first Cup series championship
in 2006. He went on to win the Cup series
championship the next four years and became
the only driver in NASCAR history to win five
consecutive championships. During the 2011
season, Johnson finished sixth in points, while
he finished third in 2012. In 2013, Johnson won
his sixth championship, one fewer than Richard
Petty and Dale Earnhardt who have the record
for the most championships. Johnson is also a
two-time Daytona 500 winner.

against West Hancock, 70-31, on Monday, Dec. 9.
The Warhawks were aggressive early and often in
building a 35-point lead mid-way through the third quarter
to start a continuous clock.
West Fork came up with 15 steals and forced the
Eagles into countless turnovers with its pressure, but also
committed 21 fouls to send them to the free throw line.

It was a bright moment for the Bulldogs, who suffered a road loss at Fort

Brolsma made a clean block on a three-point attempt by Lisa Feldman

to extend the lead to six.
“We were playing great defense,” Brolsma said. “The refs were doing a

North Butler, too, had a battle against previously unbeaten conference
rival No. 13 West Fork the night before, pulling out the road win.
“Last night we had a big game in the conference with West Fork and the
starters had to play a lot of minutes last night and it was a hard-fought game,”
North Butler coach Jeff Lindell said. “And today playing a good HamptonDumont team, we had no legs, no energy and it was a struggle all night for
shots to go down.

hitting 10 of them to try to keep the pace
with an extremely fast offense that is
the Warhawks. The recipient of that fast
pace was 6-foot-5 senior forward Sam
Amsbaugh.
“They stop whoever they are going to
guard,” Amsbaugh said. “With Hunter
(Myers) and Spencer (Halloran) who both
take it to the hole and shoot it well. Drew
(Engebretson) is an outstanding shooter,
and (Evan) Sprung is a great post presence,
too. They chose to guard them tonight and
those guys made good passes to me.”

three Warhawks picked up their second
fouls (Engebretson, Myers and Halloran)
early on and West Hancock picked up the
pace, hitting a couple of threes to outscore
West Fork 20-6 before half.
“Anytime you play a team that is known
for driving to the basket, trying to get to
the free throw line and people hitting
threes can be dangerous,” West Fork coach
Frank Schnoes said. “There was a span in
the game there they started hitting a few
threes and you can get yourself back into a
ballgame pretty quick.
“But I was happy with the way we
responded in the second half. We have to
go through that, otherwise down the road

Taking a Pounding: CAL, Clarksville trade punches as Cadets pull out Iowa Star victory

won the war.
After 54 whistles for fouls were tallied up in the Iowa
Star boys basketball contest between the Cadets and
Clarksville Indians, CAL celebrated a 62-57 victory on
the road on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
And a win that Cadet coach Bradley Waddle really
wanted, he got.
“This is one that I really wanted because we came
in here last year and were up 14 at half and ended up
losing that game,” Waddle said. “It was almost the same
scenario, so I wanted it real bad and the kids fought real
hard and never gave up.

1:55 to go, but several big offensive rebounds for the
&DGHWV LQ WKH ÀQDO OHG WR WKUHH EDVNHWV WZR E\
Caleb Striegel and the other by Hunter Schleisman, that
helped put the game away.
And with the Indians in severe foul trouble, it made it
hard to defend against those boards.
“We had important players sitting on the bench for

coach Ethan Lensch said. “That is really a problem.
“Carter (Kelm), when we have our starters in, can
work the ball inside-out, but when that starts happening
(foul trouble), then they can choose who they can stop.
It makes it kind of hard because we have a lot of young

Calles picked up his fourth foul with 5:08 left in the
third quarter and that is when Clarksville started its run.
The Indians outscored the Cadets 17-7 in the third. With
Calles out, Lensch inserted his starters who were also in
foul trouble that helped with the run.

LW·VUHDOO\KDUGWRVWHSXSLQWKDWVLWXDWLRQµ
Striegel scored 16 and Juan Gomez, who stepped in
and hit four 3-pointers, added 12.
A height advantage on the rebounding for Clarksville
in the span helped the Indians as Kelm stands 6-foot-5
and Austin Magedanz is at 6-7. They tallied 54 boards,
Magedanz tallied 19, Kelm 14.

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To
solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must ¿ll each
row, column and box. Each
number can appear only once
in each row, column and box.
You can ¿gure out the order
in which the numbers will
appear by using the numeric
clues already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it gets to
solve the puzzle!
