New

Franklin County
follows Cerro
Gordo lead on
implementing new
dispatch system
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
Emergency responders are being trained on a system that will
change the way crises are managed
in Franklin County.
“We are trying to cut the time
between an incident and getting
[the patient] to a trauma center,”
said Thomas Craighton, Franklin
County EMA Coordinator.
The medical helicopter dispatch
system known as Auto Launch is
a way of “utilizing all available resources to get the patient care,” said
Mercy Air Med Flight Nurse Bon
Kozisek.
Franklin County emergency responders are being trained on the
system and expect begin using it by
Nov. 1. EMS volunteers, firefighters
and police officers received training Sept. 22 in Sheffield.
First Responders were trained
on the criterion that merits a helicopter dispatch, why it is used and
how to select and set up a helicopter landing zone.
Auto Launch is growing in its
implementation nationwide. Mercy
Air Med became the first program
in Iowa to use it about five years
ago, with Cerro Gordo being the
first county in their coverage area
to use it. Franklin County will soon
join the seven nearby counties that
rely on Mercy Air Med for Auto
Launch responses.
Following an emergency, a 911
dispatcher applies a set of criteria
developed by the American College of Surgeons to the incident and
sends for the closest medical helicopter, if merited. Transportation
time is saved by having a helicopter on its way before EMS first responders arrive on scene.
Craighton said this time-saving
approach is also life-saving.
Arrival at a hospital even a few
minutes early can increase the
chance of survival for patients, he
said.

Sen. Ted
Cruz visits
Hampton
BY TRAVIS FISCHER
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a candidate in the Republican presidential primary race, visited
Hampton on Saturday for a meet
and greet with his supporters at
Rustic Brew.
Stopping at each table for
personal conversations with
supporters, the event eventually turned into an informal town
hall style meeting as Cruz discussed his campaign and current
political events from the middle
of a circle of supporters.
Known for his hard line political stands, Cruz not only spoke
out against the actions of the
opposing Democratic Party, but
also the establishment leadership
of his own party, criticizing them
for not doing more to oppose
their political counterparts.
“That’s how you get an 18 trillion dollar debt, is when you have
people that just roll over,” said
Cruz.
I n cont ra st, Cr u z d i st i nguished himself as the candidate with a history of standing
up to his own party and being
uncompromising in his conservative principals. Cruz expressed concern that even if a
more establishment-oriented
Republican candidate won the
White House, it would be detrimental to the party.
“I would welcome 10 other
candidates to stand up to the Republican leadership,” said Cruz.
“We cannot nominate someone to
this office content to let the party
decline.”
Cruz doesn’t just want to see
a hard line conservative in the
White House though. With the
recent announcement that Speaker of the House John Boehner will
step down at the end of October,
Cruz hopes that a less compromising Republican will take
Boehner’s place.

The walls of West Fork schools
were decked out last week in red,
black, white and silver, signifying the Homecoming celebrations that took place throughout
the week.
Festivities continued Friday
afternoon as elaborate floats paraded through town, showing off
the students’ West Fork pride. All
of the district’s classes from preschool to high school seniors then
gathered in the high school gymnasium to watch cheer routines,
games and the coronation.
“The energy in the gymnasium Friday afternoon with all
the students was fabulous,” said
Superintendent Darrin Strike. “It
was electric!”
Last year’s royalty made a special appearance at the pep rally
to pass on their crowns to Lukas
Grund and Jacy Guerrero, who
were named the 2015 Homecoming queen and king.
Friday evening included a
football game against the Central Springs Panthers, (27-0, Panthers), and the week concluded
with Saturday night’s dance.

The pope greeted the crowd in Spanish and thanked them for attending. He
blessed everyone and asked for their
well wishes and prayers, even if they
weren’t Christian.
“I never thought I would have an opportunity like this,” said Pearson. “It was
great. He’s just a very welcoming man.”
Both Pearson and Rosenberg said
they admired the pope for his progressive stances on things like immigration,
poverty, climate change and many other
topics. They felt his message was touching people across the globe no matter
their religion or social status.

The Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) has nixed a
request from local officials that
would have returned vital inhome health care services to elderly residents across the state.
In August, the board of super v isors a nd ot her publ ic
health officials met with DHS
Director Chuck Palmer to discuss modifications to the state’s
Elderly Waiver program. Changes to the eligibility criteria have
booted some Iowans from the
service, which provides funding
support to keep Medicaid-eligible resident over the age of 65 in
their homes rather than nursing
facilities.
Mu lt iple r e s ide nt s we r e
deemed ineligible following the
changes. Franklin County Board
of Health member Shawn Dietz
suggested that DHS grandfather
those individuals into the program and apply the altered criteria to new applicants. However,
Palmer recently informed Dietz
that wouldn’t be possible.
“The whole situation is extremely frustrating,” Dietz said.
“We want the rules to be interpreted correctly, but these are
people who are trapped and getting the rug pulled out from underneath them. All we’re asking
is for those people to be put back
on the waiver.”
The modified Elderly Waiver criteria came after an internal review
by the DHS. The department believed Telligen, a contracted company, was misinterpreting Medicaid’s
rules when it would process Elderly
Waiver applications.

An “enlightening” excursion
Mother-daughter duo travels to see pope
BY NICK PEDLEY
Two Hampton women recently scored
the trip of a lifetime thanks to a generous congressman and some good fortune.
Megan Rosenberg and her mother,
Maggie Pearson, traveled to Washington,
D.C., last week to witness Pope Francis’
inaugural trip to America. The duo received tickets to see the pontiff at the U.S.
Capitol Building, which Rosenberg won
from Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison during a special lottery drawing.
“As a Catholic, you kind of always
dream of seeing the Pope. But when you
do, it’s like wow! This is so amazing!”
said Rosenberg. “It was a very special
event, especially being an American
Catholic.”
Ellison announced this summer that
he would give away two tickets to a pair
of lucky applicants. Rosenberg immediately filled out a request on social media,
but she didn’t find out that she won until
Sept. 18. She promptly called her mom
and made arrangements for a quick
three-day trip to the nation’s capital.
Rosenberg and Pearson arrived in
Washington last Wednesday. The next
day, they headed to the U.S. Capitol
Building lawn and joined a crowd of
thousands as they waited to see Pope
Francis. Following a brief period of anxious anticipation, he emerged on a balcony flanked by Vice President Joe Biden,
Republican House Speaker John Boehner
and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCo-

Sheffield-Chapin Spartanettes ended their fall softball season with a loss
to a fine Alden team 3-1 in the second
round of the District Tournament at Belmond Tuesday night, Sept. 30. Spartanettes entered District action under the
double elimination rule, having lost the
sectional finals to CAL. In the first round
on Monday night, Sept. 29, the Spartanettes defeated Northeast Hamilton
10-2. The locals end their season with a
10-win, 4-loss record. The Spartanettes
bounced back from their Sectional defeat and handily took care of N. E. Hamilton in the first round of District action
at Belmond Monday night. S-C tallied a
quick four runs in the top of the first on 2
errors and a triple by Janelle Campbell.
The Spartanettes held N. E. scoreless
until the fifth when they tallied two runs.
The Spartanettes added one in the second, two in the fourth and three in the
sixth, highlighted by a two-run homer by
Mary Beck. Terri Davolt went 2-4 and
Mary Beck 2-3 to lead the batting department. Becky Peter was the winning
pitcher striking out 5, walking 6 and giving up 4 hits. The Spartanettes met their
match and were sidelined for the season
by a fine Alden nine Tuesday night. They
just couldn’t hit the ball in the right place
and Alden came up with some fine defensive plays to idle the Spartanettes.
Alden tallied one run in the first and held
S-C scoreless until the fourth when Lauri Hanig belted out a solo homerun for
the only hit of the night for S-C. Alden
tallied one in the third and one in the
fifth to come out on top 3-1. The loss
ended the season for S-C with 10-wins
and 4-losses. The Spartanettes want to
thank the loyal fans for their support this
fall during the cold ballgames. Your support is greatly appreciated, Coach Ned
Bohach said Wednesday. “The Spartanettes have experienced many exciting
moments since they began practice last
May. Five months of hard work and dedi-

quarter of play and Larry Eden scored
from the Spartan three-yard line to give
the Vikings their only touchdown of the
game. The extra point was good. Score,
19-7. Then with two seconds left in the
game, Loken threw his third touchdown
pass of the game, this time to Bob Rube
for the 25-7 final victory margin. Commenting on the game Coach Mike Fitzgerald pointed to the strong teamwork
and desire by the Spartans as being
the major victory in the victory. He singled out linebacker Larry Martinson for
his outstanding defensive play. He also
mentioned that it certainly was a team
victory with outstanding play by both the
offensive and defensive units. This week
will be Homecoming for the Spartans
with Meservey-Thornton as the opponents. A typical Lancer-Spartan battle is
expected. The Spartans will be out to win
and protect their 2-0 top spot in the North

OCTOBER 7, 1965
The Sheffield-Chapin Spartans
gained revenge and broke a 25-game
Ventura winning streak with a 25 to 7 victory Friday night on the Spartan football
field. The Spartans did not waste much
time in scoring. John Loken intercepted a
Viking pass on the fifth play of the game,
then tossed a pass to Norm Koenigsberg
on the first Spartan play for a 30-yard
touchdown. Mateer scored the extra
point and the Spartans led 7-0 with only
three minutes gone in the game. At the
start of the second quarter, Bill Mateer
dashed through the center of the Viking
defense, broke to the outside for an apparent 54-yard touchdown. However, an
offside penalty on the Spartans nullified
the run. Later in the second quarter, Dennis Boehlje recovered a Viking fumble on
the Ventura 41-yard liner. Nine plays later
Loken scored from two yards out and the
Spartans led 13-0. Then with only seconds remaining in the first half Bob Weber stole the ball from a Ventura runner.
Again Loken responded with a 27-yard
touchdown pass to Ron Frey and a 19 to
0 lead was posted at halftime. Ventura
was able to move the ball late in the third

OCTOBER 5, 1995
J. W. Allen was crowned the King
and Becky Carlson was crowned the
Queen during Homecoming festivities
at S-C/M-T High School Friday night.
The two were announced at halftime of
the football game against Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock.
Members of the Sheffield Emergency Squad are Doug Brady, Gail Siskow,
Renee Wiseman, Jennifer Rube, Norma
Peters, Dave Weiland, Marlene Truax, Dr. William Paltzer, Jon Swanson,
Judy Siems, Jim Hegarty, Jr., Bob Foss,
Joan Adams, Tonya Stanbrough, David
Craighton.
Lack of a consistent running game
combined with the weather put a damper
on the S-C/M-T Homecoming festivities.
Nine of the Spartans 40 offensive plays
resulted in negative yardage. Several
inopportune penalties and a lost fumble deep in Rockford territory also hurt
S-C/M-T as the Spartans lost a 12 to 6
contest to the visiting Warriors last Friday running. Earlier that afternoon the
annual parade was cancelled due to the
weather. After several exchanged punts
Rockford put together a scoring drive in
the second quarter. The Spartans followed with a scoring drive fueled by several Matt Hartwig passes and key runs
by Joey Dickman and Aaron Siskow.
Siskow scored on a 5-yard run. As neither team could convert on the PAT the
score was tied 6-6 at halftime. Rockford
scored on a 50-yard run late in the third
quarter and controlled the ball most of
the fourth quarter to win the game. Bright
spot for S-C/M-T offensively was the improved Spartan passing attack. Hartwig
completed 8 of 12 passes for 85 yards.
Dickman caught 3 for 37 yards. Siskow
and Adam Taylor each caught two. Siskow was the leading runner with 37 yards
in 10 attempts. Defensively Lucas Millage continued to make great strides at
middle linebacker. Millage accumulated
16 initials tackles and 12 assists. In his
first varsity starting assignment Cory
Lambertson picked up 5 initials and 4
assists. Collin Caffrey rounded out the
top three tacklers with 4 and 3. Nathan
Leininger recovered a Warrior fumble
while Siskow had a quarterback sack.
This Friday the Spartans will work to get
back on a winning streak as they travel
to Nora Springs for the Eagles’ Homecoming game.
Della Schneider went to Iowa City
Saturday where she visited her sister,
Hazel Rogers and husband, Roy. She
also attended the Fall Festival in Kalona.
On Sunday she visited with her sister,
Mary Lage, in Davenport, and son, David, and family in East Moline.
Marvin and Anna Mae Meyer of rural Sheffield were visitors Friday night of
Dwain and Maude Schinagel.
Betty Lauffer of Chapin, Helen Liekweg and Dorothy Kruckenberg of Sheffield and Lillian Craighton of Bradford
took a jaunt over to Wisconsin on Saturday. They visited House on the Rock,
near Dodgeville and visited the Sun Rise
Apple Orchard at Gays Mills.
Jim Ubben of Minnetonka, Minn., enjoyed the week end with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Ubben, and Steve. Saturday evening Jim and Steve honored
their parents on their wedding anniversary. They all enjoyed dinner together
Saturday evening in a restaurant at Mason City.

Happy birthday for free
AGE OF
THE GEEK
Travis
Fischer
I turned 31 last week and one
of the most interesting gifts I
got for my birthday came from
California District Judge George
King. The day before my birthday, Judge King issued a ruling
that did away with the copyright
to the classic song, “Happy Birthday To You.”
Most people have probably
learned, at one time or another,
that “Happy Birthday To You”
has a copyright. It’s a funny bit
of trivia that doesn’t really affect
many people outside of restaurant staff forced to come up with
creative alternatives less they risk
being sued for an unauthorized
performance.
The suing, in this case, comes
from Warner/Chappell Music,
who, up until last week, brought
in hundreds of thousands, if not
millions of dollars a year for the
use of that particular arrangement of six different words. Warner/Chappell is owned by Warner
Music Group, which was founded
by Warner Bros, but is not, in fact,
currently owned by them.
Warner Music Group went independent from AOL Time Warner in 2004 and is currently owned
by a conglomerate called Access
Industries, which is owned by
a Soviet born British billionaire
named Leonard Blavatnik.
None of this is relevant to the
matter at hand, but I do kinda
wonder if Blavatnik even knew
that, until last week, he owned
the rights to one of the most popular folk songs in the world.
Anyway, let’s go back a hundred years and change to 1893.
Sisters Patty and Mildred Hill
came up with a short little song
for school children called “Good
Morning To All.” The sisters sold
the song, among others, to one
Clayton Summy, who published
the songs in a book called “Song
Stories for the Kindergarten.”
Within a decade of their songs
being published, somebody came
up with the idea to replace the
lyrics of “Good Morning To All”
with something appropriate for a
birthday celebration. The adapted song, to use a modern term,
went viral. The first known print
reference to the new lyrics appeared in a 1901 article from an
Indiana school journal.
References to the song were
found in other documents in the
following decade, but never with
an attribution to the writer of the
lyrics. As the song fell into common usage over the next forty
years, it was eventually incorporated into movies and plays.
Then, in 1934, Jessica Hill, sister
of Patty and Mildred, filed a lawsuit against the producers of the
Broadway play, “As Thousands
Cheer,” which used the birthday
song. Interestingly, Hill’s suit was
based around the fact that the
song used the same melody as
“Good Morning To All,” which
she held the copyright for, and not
specifically the lyrics of “Happy
Birthday To You.”
It was in this case that Patty Hill (Mildred had long since
passed away) testified that she
had originally written the lyrics
to both songs. This will be important in a minute.
The records about the outcome of that case have been lost
to history, but the next year, the
Clayton F. Summy Company
registered copyrights to “Happy
Birthday To You.” However, the
details of the copyright are unusual. They list the author to be a
Preston Ware Orem, who nobody
on either side of the lawsuit contends wrote the song. The copy-

right registration doesn’t make it
clear that lyrics were being registered either, although for eighty
years now that has been the assumption.
The Summy Company was
bought out by Warner/Chappell
in 1988 and have continued to exploit the copyright since, with its
current term set to expire in 2030.
Ironically, the copyright to
“Good Morning To All” the song
in the story of which there’s no
dispute who wrote it or owned it,
expired without incident in 1949,
putting it in the public domain.
In all likelihood, Warner/
Chappell would have held onto
the copyright to “Happy Birthday To You” indefinitely, happily
collecting royalty fees from everybody wanting to use the century old song. And I’m betting
the poor paralegal that sent that
bill to Rupa Marya a couple years
ago thought it was just another
Tuesday, completely unaware
that they were about to trigger a
court case that may cost Warner/
Chappell billions.
Rupa Marya sued Warner/
Chappell to make them prove
that they actually legitimately owned the rights to “Happy Birthday To You,” and, as it
turned out, they didn’t.
More specifically, it was found
that The Summy Company never
actually had a legal right to copyright the lyrics, just the piano arrangement. The fact is that there’s
no evidence that the Hill sisters
came up with the lyrics and even
if they had, they made no attempt
to copyright them even as the
song grew in popularity over the
decades.
Even when they did assert
their rights in 1934, it was only
for the melody of “Good Morning
To All,” not the lyrics of “Happy
Birthday To You.”
There’s no record that the Hill
sisters ever owned the rights to
the lyrics in the first place, much
less transferred those rights to
the Summy Company. Whatever
it was that the Summy Company
tried to register for copyright in
1935, it wasn’t the lyrics. Or if it
was, it shouldn’t have been.
The long and short of it is that
this means that “Happy Birthday
To You” can now be used freely
without the fear of royalty fees. In
fact, executives at Warner/Chappel are probably having very serious conversations about the possibility that they may have to pay
back improperly gained royalties
all the way back to 1935.
I have a lot more to say on this
topic, but this column is already
getting pretty long so let’s make
it a two-parter. Come back next
week to find out about the Mickey Mouse Protection Act of 1998
and my mixed feelings about the
“use it or lose it” policy.

ly depends on the day! It has been
mentioned that I have a large job
in the works that will require
the thing to work perfectly for a
long time. I hope! And that about
sums up the past week. Lots
done...lots to do!
Home...again, no trip south.
This time due mainly to the fact
that I have a cold that I don’t
want to give to the younger generation. Actually I don’t want to
give it to anyone...I just want it to
go away! Spent a few evenings
at home...and that is something
I don’t do unless I’m sick! Saturday was definitely a day of leisure. Sunday I felt good enough
that I spent the day cleaning the
house. And trust me...it needed it. Did I get it done the way I
wanted to? Not even close! My
least favorite job...vacuuming...
took care of most of the ambition
I had! Just enough left for some
dusting...folding the towels, etc....
and parking it in the glider rocker every 15 minutes! Talked to
Angela and Little Lid on Saturday. Lidia wanted to know when
I could come down and have a
sleepover? I told I would do that.
Especially when she starts playing basketball on Saturday mornings. I don’t know how they work
it in...but she dances (4 different
dances, I think!); has pom pom
practice; basketball practice; and
I think something that I can’t remember! (Imagine that!) I asked
her how school was going. I’m
not sure I understood all of that!
Might be just as well. And so...
cleaned up late Sunday afternoon
and found enough ambition to
head to Mason City for a few

Parenthood has ridden the waves
of taxpayer funding to millions
of dollars in annual surpluses.
During its last reporting year, like
many before it, the organization
reported revenues over expenses
exceeding $127 million and net
assets of more than $104 billion.
During that year, Planned Parenthood received over $528 million
in taxpayer funded grants and
reimbursements from federal and
state coffers - 41 percent of the or-

Government Accountability office
report released this past March
demonstrates. a large portion of

POPE VISIT
“I think it’s resonating with
people in general, but especially
young people,” Rosenberg said.
“That’s important.”
Pearson agreed.
“You don’t have to be a Catholic to follow his message and ideals,” she said. “He speaks for a lot
of faiths and a lot of religions. He
can give a lot to people.”
The mother-daughter duo also
saw Pope Francis elevate Junipero Serra into sainthood during
their visit. Serra was an 18th-century missionary who brought
Catholicism to the American
West Coast and helped establish
nine missions in California.
“That was really cool to see
because it’s such a unique thing,”
said Rosenberg.
The women were able to do
some sightseeing and take pictures during the trip, but they
said the most memorable part of
the whole three-day adventure
was the pontiff’s message.
“He encouraged us to lead better lives and be better to one another,” Pearson said. “It’s a very
spiritual and enlightening experience to see the Holy Father.”

The West Fork Community
School District is seeking parent
volunteers for three committees.
Read more about the positions
below.
Early Childhood/Preschool
Committee:
Five or six additional parents
are needed to serve on this committee. The committee plans to
meet two or three times throughout the school year. The role of
this committee will be to learn
about current practices in the early childhood education programs.
In addition, this committee will
provide insight into future preschool programming practices
and make recommendations to
the administration and school
board.
School Improvement Advisory
Committee (SIAC):
Eight to 10 parents of K-12 students and other community and
business partners are needed to
join the district’s SIAC committee. This committee will meet one
time this fall and an additional
time in the spring. This is a required committee that will represent the district at compliance
visits by the Department of Education. The role of this committee
will be to review district programming, student achievement
data and the overall health of the
district and make recommendations to the administration and
school board.
Career and Technical Education
Committee:
Eight to 10 parents, business
owners and community employment leaders are sought to serve
on this committee that will meet
two times per year. The purpose
of this committee is to share the
current programming and seek
input from outside sources on
how to improve the educational
preparation to meet the future
demands of the vocational workforce.
If you have served on one of
these committees in the past and
would be willing to continue,
please contact the school. If you
would be interested in joining
one of these committees please

what I could to help keep this a
free country,” Crabb said
Crabb served in Alaska, the
Aleutian Islands and Hawaii
with the Army’s 2nd Infantry Division from 1948-50. Egede was
in the 67th field artillery battalion from 1955-57, serving in Germany.
Egede had been to D.C. twice
before, but it was a first for Crabb.
Their busy day included tours
of the monuments and memorials
devoted to Abraham Lincoln, Iwo
Jima, the Korean War, Vietnam
War and World War II, as well as
the White House and the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier at Arlington
Cemetery.
Everywhere they went, people
came to shake their hands and
thank them for serving. They
were humbled by the experience.
“It made you feel like you had
done something that was good,”
Egede said. “It almost made
you want to cry sometimes. The way they talked to us – it was so nice.
I did cry, too. They say
men aren’t supposed to
cry, but I think that’s
wrong.”
Crabb was touched
by the camaraderie
b e t we e n vetera n s
and the support they
were shown.
“[Sometimes] you
don’t think what you did affected that many people,” he said.
“There were more people that
thought something of it than
what you would believe.”
The most moving part of the
day was the send-off and welcome back at the Waterloo airport,
Crabb said. About 400 people
gathered around a band, honor
guard, fire trucks and police cars
with flashing lights to show their
support and welcome the flight
back Wednesday night.
“It made me cry,” Egede said.
“I don’t know how to describe it,
but it just made me sad.”
After they boarded the plane
in the morning, they relived old
memories with a
“mail call,” just
like the ones
that they had
in the Army.
Someone yelled out “mail call”
and then delivered letters that
friends, family and school children had written in advance to
the veterans.
Through their Army days at
sea or training in forests with
little contact home, they came to
appreciate the days when they received mail.
Kyle Harrington, a family
friend of Crabb’s, penned a letter.
“He’d always been like a
grandpa to me,” Harrington said.
“I felt like I should write to him to
tell him what he meant to me and
to thank him for his service.”
The trip brought up other treasured memories for the
two of their time in the
Army.
“It was an honor to be in the military,” Egede said.
“It’s something
yo u do f or
your country, and it’s
very humbling.”
Crabb thinks about his time in
the Army often, reflecting on the
good memories of places he went
and things he did.
“One of the highlights of my
service is when I met the love of
my life,” he said.
They met in Tacoma, Wash.,
while he was serving, and have
been married for 65 years. He
calls it a “fringe benefit” of enlisting.
One of Egede’s favorite memories occured when he took train
trips from Germany to Denmark to
visit relatives.
“I only saw my grandmother
one time,” he said. “She died
shortly after I got home from
Germany and I was very happy
to have had that privilege.”
The veterans felt honored and
thanked organizers for giving
them memorable experience. The
Honor Flight Network provides
these trips for free to veterans,
with top priority to World War II
veterans.
“It made me feel like it was all
worth while,” Crabb said.

Cruz attributed Boehner’s decision to step down after working
to prevent another government
shutdown as an indictment that
Boehner and the Republican
leadership has lost the support of
their base.
“I think the reason Boehner
stepped down was because of the
people here,” said Cruz. “I think
the next Speaker of the House
should be a principled conservative.”
With that, a suggestion of Rep.
Steve King was shouted from
among the crowd, which caused
Cruz to express his appreciation
of King’s similar political antics.
“It’s a close guess who the
leadership hates more, Steve
King or me,” said Cruz.
After railing against his own
party’s leadership, Cruz still had
plenty to say about his Democratic opponents and their primary
candidates.
“The Democrats are like that
TV show, ‘That 70s Show,’” he
said. “They keep recycling their
candidates.”
Moving to more specific topics, Cruz spoke on the impending
Iran nuclear deal when asked if
that agreement should have been
developed through Congress.
“It should have been. It was a
mistake for Congress not to do
that before they gave up their
authority,” said Cruz, who emphasized that he greatly opposed
that decision before it was made.
“We had some bare-k nuckle
lunches.”

on Saturday for a close discussion with local supporters. TRAVIS

nuclear enrichment capability
in exchange for lifting economic sanctions on the country. Republicans across the party have
opposed the deal, but have been
ineffective at stopping it, which
Cruz attributes to compromised
leadership of the party.
“It’s still within the power of
Republican leadership to stop
this deal,” said Cruz, who has
suggested taking Congressional action against banks that go
along with the President’s plan.
However, he said that Congressional leaders John Boehner and
Mitch McConnell haven’t responded to the idea.
On Syria, Cruz criticized the
United States’ plan to increase
the number of migrants the county is willing to take in due to the
refugee crisis. President Obama
has directed his administration
to scale up the number of Syrian refugees the U.S. accepts next
year to 10,000.
“I think Obama’s proposal to
bring in tens of thousands of Syrian Muslims is crazy. There’s no
reason to think that this administration is remotely capable of distinguishing the good guys from
the bad guys,” said Cruz.
While Cruz opposes accepting Muslim refugees from Syria
to the United States, he holds the
opposite view on Syrian Christians due to the persecution they
face in the Middle East and the
perception of a lower security
risk.
“I’ll say at the same time, we
should look very differently the
way we treat Syrian Christians,”
he said. “The difference is in the
national security risks those two
groups represent.”
On the filibuster, Cruz supported the policy of keeping the
de facto requirement for passing bills at 60 votes, rather than
a simple majority, noting that
Democrats have held the Senate
more often than they haven’t in
recent history.
“I think slowing the Senate
down is a good idea because they
are usually up to bad things,”
said Cruz. “I think it would be
a long term mistake to get rid of
the filibuster because it would
allow Democrats to get through
really bad ideas.”
Along with Congressional
Democrats, Cruz placed much of
his criticism of current policy at
the feet of President Obama, particularly for his use of executive
power to circumvent legislative
obstacles.
“The advantage is that everything done by executive power
can be undone by executive pow-
er,” said Cruz, who promised to
make a day one reversal of President Obama’s executive actions if
elected.
To that end, Cruz said that his
campaign has been invigorated
by recent debate performances.
He said that his campaign saw
a big upswing of financial donations following the debates,
raising a million dollars within
100 hours of the first debate, and
another million within 48 hours
of the second.
Cruz also said that the loss of
Rick Perry and Scott Walker as
competitors in the Republican
primary have benefited his campaign.
“I can tell you that an awful
lot of Rick Perry and Scott Walker supporters have been coming
over to our campaign,” he said.
According to the most recent
poll compilations from Real Clear
Politics, Cruz currently ranks
sixth among his Republican candidates in national polls with an
average of 6.2 points. In Iowa,
Cruz enjoys more support with
an average of 7.8 points, placing
him third behind Ben Carson
(21.3) and Donald Trump (27.3).
Franklin County GOP chairman Shawn Dietz, a former mayor of the city and a Republican
candidate for State Senate in 2014,
has publicly endorsed Cruz and
was at Rustic Brew to support his
visit.
“He’s the full spectrum candidate,” said Dietz. “What I really
like about Ted is that instead of
campaigning on what he will
do, he campaigns on what he has
done.”
Answering a final question,
Cruz described how he would
work with Democrats if he were
to be elected President.
“In my time in the Senate, I’ve
been proud to work with Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians,
Independents, I’d work with
anybody,” said Cruz. “Heck, I’ve
joked I’ll work with a Martian
if he’s willing to shrink the size
of power in the federal government.”

Upmeyer releases information
on legislative page program
Speaker-Select Linda Upmeyer
(R-Clear Lake) last week released
information on the Iowa Legislative Page program. Each year the
Iowa House of Representatives
and the Iowa Senate employ Iowa
high school juniors and seniors to
serve as pages for the legislative
session which begins in January.
Duties of the House and Senate
pages vary slightly, but generally
Pages provide invaluable assistance to Representatives or Senators and staff by assisting with
tasks such as the switchboard,
delivering messages, distributing
legislation, assisting committee
chairpersons or sorting amend-
ments. Pages are paid and many
schools grant credit for a student’s
work in the Legislature.
Speaker-Select Upmeyer is encouraging local students to apply
for the 2016 Page program.
“I hope area students will apply to serve as Legislative pages.
It is a worthwhile opportunity for
students to gain real world experiences,” said Upmeyer.
The application for the 2016
Legislative Page Program is due
no later than Friday, Oct, 9. To
receive more information or an
application, visit: https://www.

The findings forced DHS to correct the issue, which led some
individuals to be booted from the
program when they reapplied for
services this year.
Palmer could not be reached
for comment. However, in an
email to Dietz, he noted that his
department couldn’t go against
federal law and apply two sets
of rules to Elderly Waiver applicants. He also stated that there
would be no funding to grandfather past recipients back into the
program.
Amy McCoy, public information officer for DHS, reiterated
Palmer’s response and said the
changes would affect only “a
small number of people.”

If you do not have an Iowa
driver’s license, you can provide
another ID as long as it contains
your photo and is current, valid
and contains an expiration date.
If you do not have proof of residency and identity, a registered
voter in your precinct may attest
to the fact that you are who you
say you are and that you live in
the precinct you say you live in.
You will both be required to sign
an oath.
In the event that none of the
above is possible for you, you will
be allowed to vote a provisional
ballot at your polling site and
provide the necessary documentation to the auditor’s office in the
days following the election.
The Commissioner of Elections is advising eligible voters to
make every attempt to register by
mail or in person at the auditor’s
office prior to the close of pre-registration at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23.
This will assure time for the auditor’s office to complete the voter registration process and mail
a voter registration card to each
registrant. The voter registration
card will indicate the location of
the voter’s correct precinct.
Questions should be directed
to the Franklin County Auditor’s
office (641) 456-5622.

Iowa archery
deer season
begins Oct. 1
Deer hunters have Oct. 1 circled on their calendar marking
the beginning to Iowa’s popular
archery deer season.
An expected 50,000 hunters
will be hiding among the branches on tree stands in the timber
across Iowa forests and field edges waiting for the next legendary
Iowa buck to walk by.
“The herd is in excellent condition statewide following the
mild winter and early spring and
the population is about where
we want it. If they put in the time
scouting and sight in their bow, I
expect hunters will have another good year in the timber,” said
Dr. Dale Garner, chief of the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Bureau.
Regulation changes incorporated last year have helped to stabilize Iowa’s herd. There were no
regulation changes for 2015. The
archery season is open through
Dec. 4, when it closes for the shotgun deer seasons. It then reopens
Dec. 21 and runs until Jan. 10,
2016.
• Youth season open through Oct. 4
Iowa’s archery season crosses
over with the youth only season
for the first four days. The youth
only deer hunting season opened
Sept 19.
Around 9,500 youth under 16
years of age participate in the
special season each year. They
must hunt under the supervision
of an adult mentor who has a valid hunting license and habitat
fee. Only one youth hunter may
accompany each adult mentor.
Youth hunters harvested more
than 3,300 deer in the 2014 special
season. The 2015 season closes on
Oct. 4.
RESPONSE SYSTEM
grandfather someone in if they’re
not meeting the federal guidelines,” she said. “Peoples’ needs
change over time. We’re always
re-evaluating service needs.”
McCoy said DHS would continue working with individuals
affected by the changes to find
services that meet their health
care needs. Even so, the response
didn’t sit well with Dietz. He believed his request was misstated
by DHS and needed further review by the department.
“From the phone conversations that I had with them, they
understood my request. But they
restated my request in writing
differently in their response,” he
explained. “Whether or not that
was intentional, I don’t know.”
Dietz believed DHS’s audit
of Telligen was flawed. Every
Franklin County resident who
has appealed the decision that
pulled their Elderly Waiver has
had services returned, which
was a telling sign according to
Dietz
“Clearly, mistakes were made,”
he said. “Since we’re seeing such a
high rate of success on the appeals,
I think it’s clear there’s something
that needs to be corrected.”
Dietz also believed the criteria
changes were wasting taxpayer
dollars. The appeal process costs
money, and individuals who lose
waiver services are sometimes
placed in nursing facilities, which
is more expensive than in-home
health care.
“If the state decides to draw
this out and do it on a case-by-
case basis, then that’s the way
we’ll do it,” Dietz said. “That’s
highly unfortunate, because
that’s not the way it has to go.”
The Franklin County Health
Board and local health officials
will continue spreading the word
about the Elderly Waiver situation to other governing bodies
across the state. Dietz felt legislators and the governor could enact
change and make sure a similar
situation doesn’t happen again,
but things have been quiet so far.
“What we’re finding is that
this is not new to anybody, we’re
just the only ones talking about
it. That’s frustrating,” he said.
“As a matter of good public policy, we have to react to this and
make sure we’re being proactive
in a response.”
Bryan Williams, Mercy Air
Med chief flight nurse, said the
system improves patient outlook and earlier treatment can
shorten their length of stay in a
hospital.
Situations that meet the criteria for an automatic helicopter
dispatch include falls from more
than 20 feet, strokes if the victim
is out in the country, ATV accidents, crashes between a car and
semi or motorcycle, and pedestrian and vehicle accidents. Any
emergency with difficult road access could also merit a helicopter
being sent.
Dispatchers could call Mercy
Air Med out of Mason City or
the Life Flight out of Fort Dodge,
depending on the incident’s location.
If the first responders arrive at
the scene and deem a helicopter
unnecessary due to the level of
injury, they would call to send it
back. About one third of the Auto
Launch calls are cancelled, Williams said.
“You get turned around a lot.
That’s ok,” he said. “We want to
make sure we are there for the
ones that do need it.”
If sent back, the flight incurs
no charge to the patient or the
county. Bills go to the patient if
they are transported by air or
ambulance.
Craighton said all of the emergency responders are looking
forward to implementing the
program.

Exploring Iowa’s unsolved murders
This is a weekly feature highlighting some of
Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it
The body of newly-married Maureen Farley
was found lying atop a junk car Sept. 24, 1971
by two boys hunting in a wooded ravine off Ely
Road near Cedar Rapids’ southwest edge. The
Linn County medical examiner ruled Farley had
been dead between 48 and 96 hours, and said that
her death was caused by a massive blow to the
right side of her head.
She had last been seen alive one week earlier
when she borrowed money for
a pack of cigarettes, planning
to repay the debt later that day
after picking up her paycheck
from her waitressing job at
Weida’s Restaurant. Police of¿cials believed Farley’s death
occurred at a place other than
where her body was discovered
and were particularly interested
in her actions and whereabouts
from Sept. 17 – the day she was
last seen alive – through Sept.
22.
Farley’s body showed no
indication of defense wounds,
which would be evident if a
struggle occurred or if she had
been given an opportunity to
¿ght off her attacker or attackers. Her clothing was somewhat in disarray, but not torn.
The blunt trauma to the side of
her head pointed to a surprise
attack that caught her off guard.

SIOUX CITY — Lisa Schenzel remembers
when her older sister taught her the words to
“Silver Bells” on car rides over the Gordon Drive
viaduct in Sioux City.
Learning that Christmas song is the earliest
memory Shenzel has of her 17-year-old sister,
Maureen Brubaker-Farley, who disappeared 44
years ago on Sept. 21 and was later found dead in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
“Every time I hear that song, I Àashback to

Schenzel, 48, who now lives in

Warhawks’ homecoming
SHEFFIELD – Central Springs shut down West Fork’s offense in
posting a 27-0 win over the Warhawks in their homecoming game on
Friday, Sept. 25.
West Fork managed a little more than 200 yards of offense through
the ground and air game, but couldn’t find the end zone against the
Panthers.
Tyson Pillard led the way offensively with 85 yards on 18 carries.
Jarel Arbegast threw 3-of-7 passes for 14 yards, but was picked off
once. He also led the defense with two solo stops and 12 tackle assists.
Cole Hall added three more solo tackles, one for a loss, and nine assists while Jacob Kuhlemeier finished with two solo stops – both for
losses – and was in on nine more tackles.
But the Warhawks were unable to force any Central Springs turnovers while the Panthers came up with a fumble recovery to add to
their interception of Arbegast and spent a lot of time in the West Fork
backfield, coming up with a total of 11 tackles for loss.
West Fork fell to 0-5 overall, 0-3 in Class 1A District 3.
