High spirits and happy smiles
were plentiful last Friday when the
Hampton Community Christian
Daycare broke ground on its new addition.
“You can’t even imagine how
much I’m looking forward to this,”
said director Laura Bradley. “This is
desperately needed.”
The project will add two new
classrooms and a tornado shelter
onto the east side of the existing
building. So far, organizers have
raised $213,000 in donations with
the goal of soliciting $37,000 more.
The project was aided significantly
by a $250,000 contribution from Eugene and Mary Sukup, Sheffield.
The $500,000 project was originally estimated at $380,000. However, construction bids came back
significantly higher then the daycare
had anticipated.
The project’s board of directors
were extremely grateful for the Sukups’ donation and other contributions from community groups, individuals and businesses.

Relay For Life inspires optimism for cancer cure
The Kiwanis Club of Hampton is gearing up for the installation of new playground
equipment at Harriman Park.
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
More than $60,000 and a lot of
awareness was raised for the fight
against cancer Saturday at the Relay
For Life of Franklin County.
The current subtotal from donations, sponsorships, sales and team
fundraisers will be further boosted
by two additional revenue sources. More than $20,000 was raised
during Friday’s KLMJ Golf Challenge and around $8,000 was raised
from cancer survivor Drew Hueberger’s free throw fundraiser.
Proceeds from the 12-hour event
will stay in Iowa and go towards the
American Cancer Society. Much of
it will support research being done
in Iowa City.
Par ticipants enjoyed music,
games and guest speakers at the H-D
high school stadium as they walked
with a goal of keeping at least one
person on the track throughout the
whole day.

Ongoing drama over a rewiring
project at North Side Elementary
continued Monday night during the
Hampton-Dumont Board of Education’s regular meeting.
The board met with representatives from Dumont Telephone and
Advance Tech Solutions to discuss
the project. Earlier this month, members voted to void a rewiring contract with Dumont Telephone after
Advanced Tech owner Jeff Christiansen raised concerns about the
initial bid process. He believed H-D
provided too few details when the
rewiring work was originally bid,
causing him to estimate the project
at more than double that of Dumont
Telephone’s winning proposal.
Work was halted and the project
was rebid in mid-July. However, little
changed after bids were let. Dumont
Telephone once again won the contract
and will resume work immediately.
Advanced Tech didn’t provide a bid
for the project. Jon Hofer addressed the
board on behalf of Christiansen to explain why the company wasn’t placing
an estimate. They believed portions
of the new rewiring work weren’t up
to code and questioned who would be
liable if a new company was picked to
complete the project.
“There are too many unknowns
in the wiring that Dumont Telephone
installed,” Christiansen wrote in a
letter to the board. “There also appears to be violations of [National
Electric Code] and fire code, and
because we would be the company
contracted to ‘provide a completed
project’ the responsibility may fall
back on us to fix the problems.”
However, some board members
held issue with Christiansen’s letter.
Board member Jeff Rosenberg felt it
was unfair to critique the unfinished
project because Dumont Telephone
was told to pick up and leave after
starting work.
“When you stop a project midstream, then obviously there’s going
to be some issues with it,” Rosenberg said. “I think a lot of the things
in his letter really don’t carry much
merit in my opinion. I don’t think it’s
fair to Dumont Telephone to have
something like that read in public.”
Dumont Telephone general manager Roger Kregel addressed the
board regarding Christiansen’s concerns. He agreed with Rosenberg’s
assessment of the situation and reassured members all work would be up
to code once it was complete.
Honorary co-chairs and cancer survivors Diane Hughes, Sheffield, and Wendy Wikert, Hampton,
led a special survivor lap around the track. TRAVIS FISCHER/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Washwater
spill kills 7,600
fish south of
Hampton
BY NICK PEDLEY
Around 7,600 fish were killed in
Maynes Creek this month following a washwater spill at a Franklin
County egg laying facility.
The spill occurred on July 15 at
The Good Eggs LLC near Bradford.
According to owner Joe Scallon, the
facility’s lagoons overflowed into a
ditch after pumps clogged. Workers
fixed the problem, but the water was
able to reach the creek.
Scallon estimated “a couple thousand” gallons of the substance was
released during the incident. The
Iowa Department of Natural Resources announced last week that
it would seek a total restitution of
$3,312 for the fish kill and ensuing
investigation.
“We will pay,” Scallon said. “We
agree that it happened and take responsibility.”

HAPPY days at Harriman Park
New playground equipment to be installed Aug. 6-8
BY NICK PEDLEY
Six months of intense fundraising and extensive planning will culminate next week during a special
three-day project in Harriman Park.
The Kiwanis Club of Hampton
will wrap up its Harriman Playground
Park for Youth (HAPPY) campaign
with a community build project Aug.
6-8. The club is asking for volunteers
to assist with construction process,
which includes assembling the park’s
elaborate new playground.
The Kiwanis Club has raised
more than $90,000 for the new
equipment since February. Karen

Schmidt, chair of the HAPPY Committee, said the club needs a group
of “qualified volunteers” capable of
using tools and lifting heavy objects.
“We have a lot of interest,” she
said. “I don’t want people to feel not
welcome, but if we don’t have qualified volunteers we won’t be able to
get this build finished.”
The group will start unpacking
material, sorting equipment and augering footing holes on Thursday,
Aug. 6, from 11:45-6 p.m. Ten volunteers are needed that day, but the
number jumps to 16 on Friday and
Saturday. Works starts at 7:45 a.m.
on Friday and continues until 6 p.m.
On Saturday, work starts at 7:45 a.m.
and wraps up at 1 p.m.
Snacks and drinks will be provided. Schmidt said volunteers do not
need to be affiliated with Kiwanis

during the construction process for
safety reasons.

Hampton community. We really believe that it is,” said Schmidt.
The new additions will help update Harriman Park with some much
needed playground equipment. The
old equipment was installed around
30 years ago and was starting to deteriorate. Workers from the Hampton Public Works Department removed it last week, which was a big
help for the Kiwanis Club.
“That is a huge piece of the puzzle for Kiwanis,” Schmidt said.
“Doug Tarr and the entire public
works department has been a huge
help through all of this.”
The HAPPY Committee originally set out to raise $85,000 for the
new equipment, but a huge influx of
community support pushed the total
well passed the initial goal. The club
plans to announce the final donation
total during a special ceremony in
August or September.
The additional money helped
Kiwanis add new details to the project’s blueprints. Three additional
pieces of equipment will be purchased and a new sidewalk will be
poured leading to the playground.
The site will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Schmidt was extremely grateful

“There’s a lot of people in the
community I’d like to thank that
helped make this a reality,” said
board president Jeremy Stattelman.
“There’s several people out there in
this community like this. Their help
keeps this place running.”
Rev. Karl Bollhagen offered a
blessing during Friday’s groundbreaking ceremony. He was happy
to see the building expand and offer
more space to spread God’s word.
“We have a beautiful opportunity to share this great message with
these children of God,” he said.
Once finished, the two new rooms
will be used for three- and four-yearold preschool classes. The addition
would open up the large multipurpose room in the current building
for motor skill activities and recess
during winter, Bradley said.
The tornado shelter will be capable of holding 150 students and
teachers. Currently, staff members

dren into small bathrooms during
tornado warnings.
“I cannot stress to you how
thankful we are to have that added
safety net for the children,” Bradley
said. “It will be nice to take them
into one big room.”
The daycare will be able to accept
more children once the addition is
complete. Last year, administrators
had to turn away families because
classrooms were at capacity.
The daycare currently serves
around 120 children.
“We’re hoping we’ll be able to
hold 160 students,” explained Brad-
ley. “We won’t know for sure until
it’s all done and DHS lets us know,
but we’re hoping for something
around that number.”
Concrete work was slated to start
this week. Daycare officials hope the
new addition will be ready and open
by winter, but an exact timeframe
hasn’t been set.
The uncertain completion date
didn’t bother Bradley – she was simply happy to see dirt moving during
Friday’s ceremony.
“It will just be wonderful,” she
said as children dug their shovels
into the ground.

Zacharias climbs Iowa
American Legion ranks
BY NICK PEDLEY
A love of service and country has
led to an illustrious post-military career for one Franklin County man.
Jim Zacharias, Geneva, was
named a Department Vice Commander during the Iowa American
Legion State Convention on July 19.
Zacharias was promoted from his post
as 3rd District Commander and will
assume his new duties immediately.
“I guess you could say I live and
breathe the American Legion, because I really do,” he said. “I enjoy
the Legion, I like the work, and I’ve
made a lot of friends along the way.”
The Vietnam War veteran has
been a member of the American
Legion for 14 years. He currently
serves as the Franklin County’s Legion Commander and Commander
of Post 183 in Hampton.
Zacharias got involved with the
Legion thanks to a little encouragement from his father. He has remained a loyal member ever since,
gradually expanding his involvement to the state level.
As 3rd District Commander, Zacharias oversaw Legion operations
in 10 counties, including Franklin
County. He enjoyed the experience
but felt he could do more for the
organization as Department Vice
Commander.
He’ll now oversee two districts in
his new role and help coordinate various state-level programs.
“I sort of felt bad about going for
the Vice Commander position because I really loved the work I did in
the 3rd District,” he said. “But I have
a lot of different ideas I want to get in
front of people.”
Zacharias said he would like to
see more involvement between the
Legion and community in the future.
Specifically, he would like to see Legion members interact more with local veterans and high school students.
Additionally, Zacharias said he’d
like to see the Legion help out veterans and their families more often,
whether it means scooping their
driveway or mowing their yard.
“We just want to get these posts
more involved in the community,”
he said.
In the meantime, Zacharias said
he was focused on rounding up
membership dues for the upcoming
year. He looked forward to his new
role as Department Vice Commander and was excited to share his ideas
for future improvement.
“I’m very glad to have the title,”
he said. “I love the Legion. You
could say it’s my second home.”
BY NICK PEDLEY
A recent surge in popularity has
apparently swayed local voters onto
Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump’s bandwagon.
A poll conducted by the Franklin County GOP found that Trump
led the nearest party frontrunner
by 10 points. The poll, called “Cast
Your Kernel,” included 15 Republican presidential candidates and was
held at the party’s booth during the
Franklin County Fair. A total of 533
corn-kernel ballots were cast by visitors July 15-19.
Franklin County GOP Chair
Shawn Dietz admitted the poll was
“unscientific,” but he was intrigued
how closely the results followed other national polls. Three of the top
four finishers matched the findings
of the latest Real Clear Politics average for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
“I wasn’t necessarily surprised by
the results, but I was surprised at how
much Trump won by,” Dietz said.
Trump finished with 26.27 percent of the vote. He was followed by
Ben Carson (16.32 percent), Scott
Walker (14.45 percent), Mike Huckabee (9.19 percent and Jeb Bush
(6.57 percent) to round out the top
five. Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Marco
Rubio, Rand Paul and Chris Christie
finished in spots six through 10, respectively.
Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina,
Lindsey Graham, Rick Santorum
and George Pataki finished in the
bottom third of the poll. Candidate
Ben Carson, who visited the Franklin County Fair on July 16, finished
four places higher than his Real
Clear Politics’ average.
“I think that can be easily explained by his stop and interaction
with the local voters that week,” Dietz said.
In addition to Carson, Perry and
Santorum have made campaign stops
in Franklin County this summer.
RELAY FOR LIFE
One particularly motivated participant started early in the day and
strode briskly in the heat and beating sun to reach her goal of 89 laps.
After her 22nd lap, Hampton resident
Mary Doyle took a break to grab
some shade under the stadium entry
and drink a water bottle.
“I want to walk as many laps as
my folks’ ages,” she said.
The six-year Relay for Life participant circled the track 83 times last
year in honor of her dad, and was on
her way to completing 89 laps this
year to honor her mom.
While completing their laps solo
or with a team, participants walked
beside more than 300 honorary or
memorial Luminaria. The milk jugs,
cut off at the top and filled with sand
and a candle, were labeled with the
name of a cancer survivor or a loved
one who had died.
Former Sheffield resident Becky
Hueberger was inspired to get involved by her family’s history of
cancer. She volunteered to sell bead-

ed necklaces that some walkers used
to keep track of their laps.
“I help out because I believe in
the cause,” she said. “There’s hope,
and we need hope. If we don’t have
hope, we have nothing.”
There won’t be a cure right away,
she said, but efforts like these provide hope for future generations.

It looks like the Friends of the
Hampton Cemetery group isn’t going six feet under after all.
Thanks to a recent spike in interest, the local betterment organization will live on under a new
group of volunteers. Mayor Brook
Boehmler made the announcement
at last Thursday’s council meeting
following a special community
meeting on July 21. The non-profit
organization had experienced extremely low participation in recent
years, which prompted discussion
about its viability.
Around 20 people attended the
meeting. For the past few years,
Mickey Ferris has been the group’s
lone active member.
“We had great turnout at the
meeting,” said Boehmler. “Consensus among the group was to maintain the 501c3. There were a lot of
good comments.”
Jo Beck, a volunteer for the Mason City Cemetery, attended with
her husband. She explained the history of cemeteries and said Mason
City relies heavily upon volunteers
for cleanup and fundraising. Boehmler said she was impressed with
Hampton’s cemetery and shared
information to help keep it in good
condition.
“It’s wonderful and it’s great to
hear comments about the community like that,” he said. “Our staff does
a great job.”

BOARD
The Friends of the Hampton
Cemetery will put together a new
board of directors and elect officers
soon. The group also plans to update
various internal policies, set new
rules, figure out future landscaping
plans and start fundraising.
The next meeting will be scheduled once the corporate attorney is
able to read past information and
establish an agenda. The public is
invited to attend.
Boehmler’s update was the highlight of a rather short meeting last
Thursday. In other business, the
council approved an alcohol license
for the Greater Franklin County
Chamber of Commerce’s Summerfest event on Aug. 29. Chamber executive director Newton Grotzinger said multiple security measures
will be in place to avoid potential
problems.
“It’s a great lineup,” said Grotzinger. “Saturday should be really
good.”
The council approved the alcohol
license on a 4-0 vote. Council members Jay Hickman and Steve Harms
were absent.
The council also heard an update
from police Capt. Mark Morrison. He
said law enforcement had very few
incidents during grandstand shows
at the Franklin County Fair and was
pleased with security efforts.
“I really didn’t hear any big complaints,” Morrison said. “I think everybody had a good time.”
The board unanimously approved
Dumont Telephone’s bid of $12,242
to finish work on the remainder of
the project. Rewiring work is hoped
to wrap up before school starts.
In other business, the board approved a resolution to continue to
levy for a voter-approved PPEL
property tax.
Superintendent Todd Lettow explained the resolution was an extension of the current levy and would
remain in place for 10 more years.
The revenue from the tax helps pay
for the district’s infrastructure,
transportation needs and classroom technology upgrades. The rate
would remain $0.67 per $1,000 of assessed property tax valuation.
The levy extension will be placed on
the Sept. 8 school board election ballot.
Finally, the board voted to cancel
the elementary school’s snack milk
program. Principal Ann Chinander
felt too many children were unable
to pay for the extra milk during
snack time, which could cause future problems if the district was
forced to cover the expense for the
students and their families.
Chinander explained the program
was established years ago when
more families were capable of paying for the additional milk at snack
time. However, more and more families are on free and reduced lunch
rates, making the snack milk program somewhat of a luxury for affluent students.
“We’re trying to avoid setting
up a status system with milk,” Chinander said.
not going to say 100 percent that it
could never happen again, but the
upgrades should make it so it’s very
unlikely to occur in the future.”
The fish kill was reported after
the campground host at Mallory
Park noticed a peculiar odor and
white milky substance in a drainage
ditch close to the creek. An initial in-
vestigation found high levels of ammonia in the water near county road
S41 west of the park.
DNR officials will continue to
monitor the cleanup.
“We take this very seriously,” said
Scallon. “These things can happen,
but we’re working very hard to make
sure that it doesn’t happen again.”
FISH KILL
Washwater is soapy heated water
used to clean eggs after they’re laid.
According to a news release, the
discharge killed minnows, shiners
and smallmouth bass near Mallory
Park. One American brook lamprey, a threatened species in Iowa,
was also killed.
Scallon said The Good Eggs was
taking steps to avoid a similar situation in the future. The facility
plans to make improvements to the
pumps and will add a ramped up
alarm system.
Scallon said he had planned to
make improvements this spring
but held off after the bird f lu outbreak hit the state. The contractor
he uses works at multiple poultry
sites throughout Iowa, and Scallon
feared workers might accidentally
contaminate his facility with the
virus.
“We’ll just have to do [the improvements] now,” Scallon said. “I’m

There’s research happening to find a clinical trial that would help or prolong survival.

and caregivers then joined them for a
second special lap.
Both co-chairs stressed regular
screenings for early detection in their
speeches. Event organizer and Sheffield resident Sheri Bogue also emphasized regular cancer screenings.
“Even though it’s uncomfortable or you don’t want to do it, these
screenings are life-saving,” she said.

Beating back bird flu
Though we’ve entered into a summer lull, Iowa poultry
producers are staring down an uncertain future as the industry continues its ongoing fight against the dreaded bird
flu virus.
There have been no new cases of the disease in Iowa since
June. However, wounds from its spring outbreak are still
fresh. Around 30 million chickens and turkeys were euthanized in Iowa alone following the virus’ arrival. Our state
was the hardest hit out of the 15 that were affected, and we’ll
be feeling the economic repercussions for some time.
Ag experts are admittedly unsure whether the virus will
rear its ugly head come autumn. It’s widely believed the
disease spread through migrating flocks of wild birds that
carried the virus as they made their way to summer nesting grounds. Bird flu didn’t slow down until warm summer
weather killed it off, which has led to widespread speculation that it might return once birds start moving in the fall.
Creating a cheap and effective vaccine
to protect against the virus is the
poultry industry’s best shot at getting
back on its feet.
However, there’s reason for optimism. Last week U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced a new
vaccine has tested 100 percent effective at preventing the
disease in chickens. The vaccine has yet to be tested in turkeys, but the recent news is indeed a welcomed development. Increased biosecurity at poultry sites can reduce the
chance of an outbreak, but it doesn’t eliminate it completely. Creating a cheap and effective vaccine to protect against
the virus is the poultry industry’s best shot at getting back
on its feet.
Despite these recent gains, the industry still faces an
uphill battle. Vaccines pose problems for exporting meat
and eggs abroad. A bird flu vaccine could essentially save
birds and raise production levels, but all that means nothing if foreign markets refuse to accept American-raised
poultry products.
The ripple effect of the bird flu’s industry-shattering impact will be felt for years. Many producers in Iowa are still
reeling, but some affected sites have been given the OK to
restock their flocks after passing inspection. This seems
ill advised. If industry experts are unsure whether the virus will strike again this fall, why let producers restock?
According to reports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
intends to pay $200 million in compensation to producers
and around $300 million in cleanup expenses. It’s simply
irresponsible to restock affected sites if the risk of bird flu
still looms on the horizon.
It seems like the poultry industry should proceed with
extreme caution in the months ahead. The bird flu crisis is
poised to continue in some way or another, and the proper
steps should be taken to avoid a massive outbreak like the
one Iowa experienced this spring. Hopefully the bird flu
vaccine continues to test well and hits the market before fall.
The industry needs to be proactive instead reactive in the
future, and it appears a few lessons have been learned from
this unfortunate ordeal.
We can only hope bird flu continues its retreat into irrelevancy. The poultry industry is a huge boon for rural economies like ours. Iowa might have weathered the storm for
now, but more thorough precautionary measures will be important to protect jobs and economic stability in the future.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Gracious fair-goer
appreciates hometown hospitality
To the Editor:
Last week, my husband and I
visited Hampton in order to go to
the Franklin County Fair. We are
big country music fans and we were
only in town for the Friday night and
Saturday morning events.
We were super excited to see the
Montgomery Gentry concert, and
my mom was letting us borrow her
POP passes for the night. As we got
up to the grandstand gate to go into
the show, I looked in my purse to see
the POP passes were missing. I panicked and got frustrated with myself
for losing them.
We frantically retraced our steps
to find them. After 15 minutes of
not finding them and me in tears,
we trudged back up to the grandstand gate to reluctantly see how
much individual tickets would cost.
I felt awful. Not only did I lose my
mom’s POP passes that she had
spent money on, but we would now
have to pay a lot more to get in. My
husband was understanding, but I
just felt like crying.
We walked up to the ticket desk
and asked how much the tickets
were. The ticket taker happened to
be Barb Furman, who I know from
church and other childhood memories. She greeted both of us with a
big smile and said, “Jamie, how are
you!?” Not only was I frustrated at
myself at the moment, but I’m also
a known crier and emotional about
things like this. I looked her in the
eyes and said, “Actually, not very
good. I just lost my mom’s POP passes. But we’d like two tickets, please.”
Barb didn’t hesitate. She looked
at the other guy helping with tickets
and she said something like, “This is
what those were for.” I didn’t understand what she was saying, but she
turned and said to me, “My brother
is sick and couldn’t come to the concert. You use his POP passes. He’d
want for someone to use them. “
I immediately cried more and said
something weak like, “We couldn’t do
that,” but she insisted and argued that
they wouldn’t be used otherwise.
As she ushered us through the
gate by using her brother’s POP
passes, I continued to cry. Ironically,
the band Montgomery Gentry was
playing their song “My Town” as
we found our seats and I was wiping
my tears away. I turned to express
my feelings to my husband when
he said, “That was awesome. You
have an awesome hometown where
people trust each other to do that.” I
couldn’t have said it better.
I just wanted to say thank you to
Barb. Thank you to Barb’s brother
and I’m praying that you get better.
Thank you to the Franklin County
Fair workers and volunteers who
helped make it a great event. Thank
you to God for making awesome
and caring people. And thank you
to Hampton for being the best hometown a girl could have.

A little late, yet right on time
BY PAMELA WARWICK
It happens every year.
I ponder what I might try to enter in the Franklin County Fair for
various Open
Class entries.
But alas, time
and that slim
w i n d ow of
oppor t unity
escaped me!
I imagine
choosing perfect specimens from a
collection of items created, grown
or baked. Perhaps this painting or
art glass mosaic? By July, it is either
purchased or gifted away.
For a few weeks I find myself
asking, “Maybe one of my lovely
Stargazer lilies can be presented to
judge?” But generally they end up
only just beginning to bloom that
last day of the entire event.
As for baking or jamming something, June and July are so chock full
of activities that simply being able
to meet each date and commitment
with the necessary requirements is
challenge enough. I should give myself a purple ribbon for that accomplishment alone!
This year, the usual assemblage
of deadlines and great events grew
with the two-week arrival of my
parent’s visit from North Carolina.
We threw in a 30-plus year overdue
family reunion to boot. That was a
magnanimous success!
This year, dad and mom primarily made my brother, Scott’s,
home their base from which to
come and go. Dear friends and
family were visited via day trips
from that location.
They ar rived and spent the
Wednesday of the fair with me. It
was truly a joy to introduce them to a
quarter of a century of additions and
improvements there! They couldn’t
believe all that had sprouted since
their move to Newton in 1985, after
Maytag condensed facilities.
Since those days, a whole new
community had been settled and
had begun to thrive: Pleasant Hill.
There, we churched, visited the jail,
peeked into the Black Smith’s and
Livery Stable and purchased locally-knitted woolen socks at the Mercantile Store.
But the best stop of all on Main
Street was the ice cream shop! After
likely 55 years as personal homemade ice cream makers and aficionados, my parents pronounced this
year’s production a hit! And savoring our frozen delectable was enhanced by listening to the live music
at the gazebo. It was about as sweet
as life gets.
Back at home, my beloved barn
swallows and I entertained us – particularly dad,
with their
u su al f ront
porch antics.
A nd, yes,
even a sampli ng f rom
my plethora of
Barn Swallow Chronicles spanning
the years were rehearsed for their
amusement. Dad was enthralled.
Each time we came and went on our
front porch, he would gaze at this
year’s fledglings and ask about the
parents.
This year’s bird family were just
at the stage where the aviator hopefuls were hanging their tails over the
edge of that muddy nest to make frequent deposits upon my front step.
But no heroic measures or leaps of
faith had been initiated.
That happened, you guessed
it, the day after my parents left
Iowa. The very next morning the
young’uns took f light, I watched
wistfully, seeing my dad’s gleaming
eyes merely within my mind’s eye.
How he would have loved witnessing
that life-altering event himself!
Though ideally it would have
been pleasurable to take part in or
share in these various events with
loved ones – as per a common phrase
often heard among old-time players
of horse shoes – we “were close, but
no cigar.”
No matter. In truth, these special
moments happen just as they must.
And that’s OK with me.
It’s the same with some of the local progress here in Coulter.
With our vintage lamp post project in the Coulter City Park, our
original goal was to have them installed and glowing for Coulter Fun
Day. An unfortunate delivery process left us with one destroyed post,
which took until just a few weeks
ago to arrive, replaced and intact.
Once again, close, but no cigar.
But Wednesday I received a
phone call from Kerry Etzel revealing the terrific news that all three
were installed! Hurray!
Suddenly, press releases and
dates were set to get photographs
ready for the Chronicle. KLMJ was
contacted too. As part of the terms
of the grant, to document completion and extend sincere and profound gratitude for the grant money
donated by the Charitable Foundation of Franklin County, this was a
thrilling end to the multi-year project for our park.
Please take a slow spin through
Coulter soon and share the latest
blessing with us all! The timing is
just right to take in the rural countryside.
Also, our roll out of our new, huge
project in Coulter is making its way
to the foreground of our to-do lists
for CBC. The campaign for the new
athletic lights at our ball/soccer field
– dubbed “Light Up the Future” –
continues steadily.
You may have read about this big
leap into our community’s collective
future before in my column. Perhaps
you heard a blurb or two on KLMJ,
as well. And just maybe you spoke
with Cathy Carlson or Lon and Linda
Allan at the tourism booth during the
fair. Opportunity to learn more about
this project was presented at that
time. Thank you to those who contributed to our fundraising efforts!
Funds toward this gargantuan
goal are slowly coming in. Our barometer to measure this fundraising
progress is being rolled out, too.
Hopefully at this reading, it has been
set up for all to see this week.
Next on our agenda is the grant
writing process and the planning of a
soup supper and raffle. More details
shall follow into the next month.
Remember again, that monies
donated to this worthy (and significant) local enhancement are tax deductible. Simply make out a check
(or dedicate a load or two of your fall
harvest) to City of Coulter/Light Up
the Future.
Though we would most love to
end this project this year yet, we are
convinced that this new asset will be
done right on time, whenever that
shall be.
You know, we often set our times,
desires and goals to the tune of our
own designs. When those self-imposed deadlines are not realized “on
time,” we can choose to be frustrated
and grumpy when the ideals are not
met.
Or, we can trust and wait on the
process – and due diligence – to unfold in their own time.
We here in Coulter, are ready to
roll up our sleeves, lean into the task
and maintain our efforts until the final moment of glory arrives.
Believe me, dear friends. When
that moment arrives, you shall be
hearing shouts of joy to be sure! We
will invite you to rejoice with us
then, also.
So here’s to perfect timing, and to
gratitude. God speed.
If you look up “Gawker” on Google, the first thing you’ll see is a
link to the website followed by the
tagline “Today’s gossip is tomorrow’s news.” That short introduction
should tell you all you really need
know about the website’s philosophy
regarding journalism ethics.
Embodying the worst qualities
of tabloid journalism and applying
them to online media, Gawker and
its satellite brands have long been
at the forefront of click-bait stories
written without regard to any actual
newsworthiness. Lifehacker and io9
are OK for casual reading, but others like Kotaku and Jezebel are the
among worst of the Internet’s bottom feeders, operating only slightly
above those ridiculously biased sites
you’d never even hear of if you didn’t
have that one relative posting their
falsehoods on Facebook.
After putting up with
a long history being
unapologetically awful,
it appears that greater
society has Ànally
decided that they have
had enough of Gawker’s
brand of “news.”
It’s a business model that served
them well, up until a couple weeks
ago when they published a story that
was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back.
The details of the story weren’t
relevant enough for print then so I
won’t repeat them now. What is relevant is the nearly universal backlash
Gawker has received for their latest
transgression. After putting up with
a long history being unapologetically awful, it appears that greater
society has finally decided that they
have had enough of Gawker’s brand
of “news.”
Backlash was so great that Gawker owner Nick Denton went over the
heads of his executive editor and
pulled the story at the recommendation of his managing partners. This,
hilariously, led to Executive Editor
Tommy Craggs and Editor-in-Chief
Max Read to resign in protest, representing what may possibly be
the first public consideration for
journalistic ethics ever seen from a
Gawker editor.
Needless to say, business-as-usual at Gawker is no longer business-as-usual. Already under the
shadow of Hulk Hogan’s $100 million lawsuit, which the company
is in no position to pay if the court
finds against them (particularly if it
turns out they were responsible for
leaking the transcript that recently
ended Hogan’s contract with WWE),
Gawker is in no position to withstand further harm to their brand.
Gawker’s toxicity costs the company an estimated $20 million a year
in “Gawker Tax,” which represents
the cost of selling brands that can
blow up at a moment’s notice. The
Gawker Tax has long been a part of
the business model, but as Adland.tv
writer David Felton recently wrote,
“If I were a media buyer, I would advise my clients to avoid them like the
plague,” in his column “Gawker Just
Went From Toxic To Radioactive.”
In the face of such a disaster,
Gawker is trying to adapt to the situation as best they can, which doesn’t
appear to be much. Editorial staff
will be meeting over the next month
to hash out a new editorial code. One
that would hopefully earn a passing
grade at a first-year Intro to Journalism class.
But I doubt it. Denton’s own journalistic philosophy, which centers
around “the version of a story a journalist tells over a drink” is so undermining to responsible journalism
that it’s almost guaranteed Gawker’s
“20 percent nicer” incarnation will
still be 80 percent garbage.
In either case, whether Denton can steer his ship through this
storm or if he’s simply rearranging
the deck chairs on the Titanic, it
seems that the days of Gawker giving journalists a bad name are coming to an end.
Good riddance.

OPINION
An election can't change a culture
THE
ALTERNATIVE
Fritz
Groszkruger
Whenever I leave my little ivory tower by the West Fork, I meet
someone who comments on the writing I do here. But rarely does anyone
dispute what I have written. I think
we've taken to heart what Rodney
King said after that drug-crazed fool
was beaten into submission in Los
Angeles many years ago – “Why
can't we all just get along?”
Interestingly, about 90 percent
of the positive comments I hear are
from ladies past retirement age. This
is an interesting demographic that I
have become familiar with because
Dawn's music puts me there. I'm
blessed to know these ladies. They
aren't staring at little devices. They
let me open the door for them. They
aren't seeking attention. Most of
them have lost their husbands, who
wore themselves out working to
make it through The Great Depression (1929-1945).
LOOKING BACK
The only way I can explain why
the ladies outlived their husbands is
by a strange process I read about that
has to do with iron toxicity. I wonder
if the old men still around survived
more accidents than their fellow
men. They certainly don't have as
many fingers as the rest of us.
I went into the Social Security
office last week to sign up for Medicare. When Dawn and I walked into
the office it was obvious our government doesn't trust the people it claims
to serve (or the soldiers that serve us,
as evidenced by the fact they are not
allowed to carry the weapons they
are trained to use). I had to take my
pocket knife and Dawn's pepper
spray back out to the car. Fareway
never makes me do that.
Anyway, there sat four couples
who were in their twenties and no
one else my age (64). They could
walk, they could talk. And we were
in a town with as many help wanted signs as stop signs. Bill Clinton's
vaunted welfare reform changed a
few definitions and that's about all.
Remember that, whenever you hear
the word “reform.”
Now we are fully engulfed (unless we can avoid the media tsunami)
in the most important election of all
time; the election of king of the United States. I hope you can detect my
sarcasm. This time we have all colors
and sexes. I wish Ella Fitzgerald were
alive to round out the field. There are
numerous other categories missing
but much progress has been made.
Those who see the
election as the charade
that it is will go to work,
spend time with their
families and accept
the thievery that is
impossible to change
with a mere election.
As far as political or economic
philosophy, the range is pretty much
narrow enough to step over as usual. I heard Bobby Jindal on the radio
flabbergasted at the fact there was a
socialist (Bernie, internment camps
now, Sanders) actually running for
president. Wow Bobby, what do you
call Medicare, No Child Left Behind
or Obamacare? Capitalism? He went
on to speak favorably on the Constitution and economics without a
single program mentioned for elimination. Don't forget what “reform”
means to these people.
Billions of dollars will be spent
deciding which Tweedledee or
Tweedledumber will be king in the
rainbow house. And those who participate will feel like they've done
their part and go on with their lives.
Those who see the election as the
charade that it is will go to work,
spend time with their families and
accept the thievery that is impossible
to change with a mere election.
I continue to write this column
because I feel I owe it to the ladies
who speak out urging me to do so.
The anxiety they felt as they waited
for their husbands to return from
war or dangerous work is unimaginable to me. The work they did for
their household and family businesses was something those kids at the
Social Security office might not be
able to fathom. And yet that work is
paying for their benefits still today.
So here's to you, beautiful ladies
past retirement age. Although sometimes disheartened, I won't give up
in trying to reinstall the values signified by you who made this country great.

DUMONT LIBRARY NOTES
Tree
management
grant
available
to local
communities
Iowa communities with a population of 5,000 or more have the
opportunity to learn about tree care,
identification and inventory through
a grant from the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources.
The two-year grant program currently provides training and assistance to Atlantic, Fairfield, Grinnell,
Marion, Marshalltown, Mason City,
Muscatine, Oskaloosa and Pleasant
Hill, and is now accepting applications for 10 additional communities
in 2016.
Grant communities receive intensive training by a team from the
DNR and members of the Iowa Arborists Association. Training covers
tree identification, health, inventory, planting, corrective pruning
and maintenance, benefits of urban
trees, ordinances and community
outreach.
Through this cooperative effort
between the Iowa DNR and the U.S.
Forest Service, each selected community will have a complete street
tree inventory, canopy cover analysis, and an urban tree management
plan with goals and methods to increase its tree canopy.
Grant applications and instructions are available online at http://
www.iowadnr.gov/Environment/
Forestry/UrbanForestry.aspx. The
deadline to apply is Sept. 1.
Wing Ding
is Aug. 14
The
highlight
of the visit
from the
zoo was
getting to
touch the
alligator.
SUBMITTED
PHOTO
BY DEB EISENTRAGER
We just had our last program for
summer reading with the kids. We
had the Blank Park Zoo for our big
finale. The kids love to have the zoo
come. Mallory brought a tarantula,
turtle, a very big chicken and an alligator. The kids got to ask questions
about the animals and touch them
if they wanted. I think the highlight
was getting to touch the alligator.
They always have interesting
comments and questions. We had
a great turnout this year. We had
anywhere from 15-28 kids attend
our program each week. Out lowest
number was the Fourth of July weekend. We had a lot of kids turning in
minutes to get their prize every week.
We had some kids who couldn’t make
it to the programs but they made sure
to turn in their minutes.
We want the kids to have fun,
but we want to keep them reading.
There have been many studies done
on the benefits of summer reading
programs.
I found this in an article written
by Carole Fiore and Susan Roman in
School Library Journal.
“Based on the findings of a recent
three-year study by Dominican University’s Graduate School of Library
and Information Studies, we can
confirm what many librarians have
long suspected: students who take
part in their local library’s summer
reading program significantly improve their reading skills.
“In fact, we found that kids who
participate in these programs are 52
Lexile points ahead of their peers
who do not. Summer reading programs are also an antidote for learning loss. So instead of losing knowledge and skills during the summer
months, kids who attend reading
programs actually show gains.” It
makes us feel good to help these kids
keep the skills they have learned.
Keep encouraging your kids to read.
It does make a difference.

Windsor Theatre receives
$10,000 from Union Pacific Railroad
Kelli O’Brien, director of public
affairs for Union Pacific Railroad,
was in Hampton on July 16 to present a $10,000 Union Pacific Foundation check to the Windsor Theatre.
Accepting the check on behalf of
the Windsor Theatre Development
Corporation was Jim Davies, board
president and theater manager.
The grant money will be used toward repairing the exterior east wall
of the Windsor building.
Union Pacific Foundation is the
philanthropic arm of Union Pacific
Corporation and Union Pacific Railroad. Union Pacific believes that the
quality of life in the communities in
which its employees live and work is
an integral part of its own success.
“These important organizations
play a vital role in their respec-
tive communities,” said Robert W.
Turner, Union Pacific senior vice
president of corporate relations and
Union Pacific Foundation president.
“Union Pacific is proud to support
these groups as they work to enhance the quality of life for communities where many of our employees
live and work.”
The Foundation is not endowed,
but is funded each year from the operating profits of Union Pacific Corporation. The Union Pacific Foundation granted $335,000 in 2015 to
43 Iowa nonprofit organizations.
Union Pacific assists nonprofits in
23 states.

American Choral Directors Association (NCACDA) conference in Minneapolis.
Mark Lehmann, Adjunct Professor of Voice at Wartburg College,
was the second director. He taught
vocal music at Hampton-Dumont
High School and under his tenure,
the Chorale performed a recital required for his masters degree in
conducting through the University
of Iowa.
Bonnie Stewart, Hampton, was
the most recent director. A Luther
College graduate, she retired in 2012

Weeds, herbicides and the effectiveness of herbicides to control
weeds are topics of agronomic and
economic importance to farmers and
agribusinesses. Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach field agronomists are hosting Weeds Week, a
week-long series of informational
meetings. The half-day sessions will
be held Aug. 3-7 at five Iowa State
University research farms.
The meetings are intended to help
farmers and ag retailers support each
other in this process.
Each session will include presentations, hands-on weed management
planning, small group discussion
and plot tours presented by extension
field agronomists. In the farmer-oriented session, farmers will learn
how to select herbicides from the
herbicide effectiveness table, identify which herbicides to apply and
develop their own four-year weed
management plan. Agribusiness
representatives will receive similar
information, but it will be presented
with a focus on how to support farmers and their operations.
The schedule has been developed

team up
for Shrine
Bowl
AGWSR makes
stunning rally to
win 1A opener
BY KRISTI NIXON
CEDAR FALLS – When Hampton-Dumont’s Kendrick Suntken and
AGWSR’s Clay Meinders were in elementary school at CAL Community, they seemed on a collision course
to become teammates.
But then fates changed and Suntken moved into H-D while Meinders
to Ackley and they never stepped on
the field together.
That is until the two teamed up
for a good cause – the 43rd Annual
Shrine Bowl – held Saturday, July 25
at the UNI-Dome at Cedar Falls.
Proceeds from the game help
benefit the Shriners’ Hospitals for
children in the United States.
“Kendrick is an awesome guy,”
Meinders said. “I guess I’ve known
him a little bit. I went to school with
him when I was younger, I went to
CAL and he used to go to CAL. So,
my family is real close with his family and getting to know him was nice,
he’s a great dude.”
Suntken added, “Clay and I are
pretty good friends. We hung out
most of the week in the dorms, did
stuff together, he’s a really cool
dude and I was glad to have the
week with him.”
The experience will help the two
who are college bound to play football. Suntken heads to Iowa Central
Community College at Fort Dodge
while Meinders is going to Division
II Northwest Missouri State. Both
played defense for the North with each
playing a little special teams on kickoffs. Meinders recorded a sack and a
handful of tackles while Suntken finished with three or four tackles.
Off icial statistics, however,
weren’t recorded, but the North
came up short in the team score with
the South winning, 37-24.
“It prepares me a lot,” Suntken
said. “Some of these guys out here
are going to play Division I, a higher level than what I’m playing at in
JUCO. Having the two-a-days put
me at a greater advantage going into
fall camp.”
Meinders said that he will have
quite a few teammates with the
Bearcats at NWMSU that he got to
BY KRISTI NIXON
FORT DODGE – AGWSR’s
Anna Jaspers said a little prayer before she went to the plate in the seventh inning.
It must have been some divine
intervention for the Cougars’ No.
8 hitter because she led off with
a double to the fence as her team
trailed 3-0 and down to their last
three outs in the Class 1A state
opener against Bellevue Marquette.
It started a six-hit, six-run rally
as No. 5 AGWSR came all the way
back to defeat the Mohawks 6-5 on
Tuesday, July 21 at Harlan and Hazel
Sports Complex in Fort Dodge.
“(I told them to) keep hitting
it hard,” AGWSR co-coach Scott
O’Brien said. “‘Something is going to
drop,’ and that is what happened. Fi-
nally, the ball hit an open area and we
hit it hard. I don’t know if it was ever
going to happen, but thank God it did.”
Jaspers’ hit to left knocked off the
top of the fence and then Addi Johnson followed with a double to deep
center to trade places with Jaspers
and score the first run.
And then the Cougars kept making contact. Alana Groninga forced
an error at short and Maddie Deters
singled home a run with a hit to left.
By the time AGWSR made the
first out, it only trailed by a run and
two runners on base.
“Finally, we got that big hit by Jaspers to get us started and then to have
Addi Johnson do that back-to-back,
then they realized it could happen,”
O’Brien said. “We got some hits and
that is when we started to believe.”
The Cougars were down to their
last out on a fielder’s choice at third
base on a ball hit by Megan Marlette,
but Jami Johnson hit a run-scoring single down the third base line
that scored Maddie Deters and Jodi

meet through the Shrine Bowl.
“I get to meet all of these guys
and get to know them better,”
Meinders said. “It will be a lot better
when I’m down there in college and
I’ll feel more comfortable.”
The two had plenty of support
with former teammates coming to
support them at the game.
“I saw Mario (Peña) and Isaiah
(Noelck), but I didn’t see anyone
else, I was trying to focus on the
game; but I was looking up there trying to find some other people.
“They weren’t hard to miss (in the
second row near the 50-yard line).
They’re my friends, they always
come to support me, I always come
to support them.”
Both Suntken and Meinder ref lected on the week and what it
meant for them.
“It was awesome, probably one of
the most fun weeks of my life,” Suntken said. “I met a lot of cool dudes,
great coaching staff. I couldn’t have
asked for a better week.”
Meinders added, “It’s been a
great week getting to know all of
these guys and it was fun and keeping in mind it was for the kids. It’s
been a great honor.”

Johnson hit a two-run single to get
some insurance.
“I knew we had one more inning,” AGWSR senior pitcher Ashley Sicard said, “so I knew we could
get our bats going.”
Marquette was seeking revenge
after falling to the Cougars last year
in the first round on a much-disputed
play at the plate. The Mohawks came
out ready to hit.
“They came out like I thought
they would,” O’Brien said. “I told
everyone that they would come out
of the dugout swinging and they did.
We didn’t quite locate our pitches
the way we wanted to and they were
ready to play. They lost a heartbreaker to us last year here and we
expected them to come out after us
and they did.”
Sicard, after giving up three hits
and a walk early to trail 2-0 after the
first inning, settled down and struck
out 11, including Marquette catcher
Bella Berthel, who had not struck
out all season prior to the fifth inning at-bat.
“Ashley settled down and only allowed two more hits the rest of the
way,” O’Brien said. “We just had to
withstand that surge and then we left
so many runners on base those first
few innings.
“We could not get that two-out hit
when we needed it, but finally the
last inning, we started to get those
hits when we needed to and thank
goodness, because we were running
out of time.”
Marquette pitcher Nicole Blum
kept popping up the Cougars and
Jaspers, who was 2-for-4 against her,
said it was the low pitches that were
the team’s downfall.
“We were just trying to swing
hard,” Jaspers said, “and sometimes
they get the best of us.”
The Mohawks appeared to score
an insurance run in the sixth off of
a lead-off walk, sacrifice bunt and
RBI ground-out, but it only made the
comeback that much more dramatic.
“I thought that third run they had,
‘man, that’s a big run. That could kill
us,’” O’Brien said. “But we really
gutted it out and kept battling. Like
I told Alana (Groninga) when she
came up, ‘hit it to the shortstop, she’s
a new player.’”
After it was all over and asked
what it was like to move on again,
Jaspers said, “There are no words.”

The Pocono Raceway is recognized as one

Pocono’s unusual triangular configuration is

There are 10 drivers, with

top 30 of points, who have
qualified for the 10-race
playoff. If the Chase was
determined right now, six
drivers would go into the playoffs based on
points. There are three drivers who were
Chase-eligible last year but have still not
qualified. Jeff Gordon is one of those drivers.
This is Gordon’s last year as a full-time Cup
Series driver, and he wants a win badly. The

Kyle Busch took Indy for the third victory in a row. “I guess Kyle’s
back,” a disappointed Logano, who finished second, said after
the race. Busch beat Kevin Harvick on a late restart to score his
fourth victory in the last five races, an amazing feat since coming
back. Despite missing the first 11 races, Busch is now tied with
Jimmie Johnson for the most victories this season, even though
he is still not in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Clint Bowyer lost
control of his car on a restart with 111 laps to go and crashed,
which caused Jeff Gordon to spin and wreck in his final Brickyard
start. Gordon, the all-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Brickyard winner
with five, lost five laps as a result and ultimately had to go to the
garage for extensive repairs.

The AGWSR softball team mobs Ashley Sicard (11) after she hit her second two-run home run in
the Cougars’ Class 1A semifinal win over River Valley on Thursday, July 23 in Fort Dodge. KRISTI
NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE
WHAT A DAY: Sicard’s big game
launches AGWSR to 1A title tilt
BY KRISTI NIXON
FORT DODGE – Go ahead,
name someone who had a better day
on Thursday, July 23 than AGWSR’s
Ashley Sicard.
The senior pitcher for the Cougars cranked two two-run home
runs, recorded her 1,000 th strikeout
and pitched a no-hitter.
All of that aided her team to its
first state title game in three straight
attempts with a 9-1 win over upstart
team River Valley.
“My teammates helped me get
to today with both the two home
r uns and the 1,000 strikeouts I
just had,” Sicard said. “I’m just
so shocked that just happened and
now we’re in the championship
game. It’s a great day.”
Sicard didn’t even realize that she
had thrown a no-hitter until the media surrounding her informed her of
the fact.
“I didn’t know that,” Sicard said.
“Wow, that’s even better yet!”
Her first home run to straight
centerfield put the Cougars on the
board and her two-run shot to left in
the fourth put the icing on the cake.
“What can you say, it’s unbelievable,” AGWSR co-coach Brenda Drake said. “It’s funny after her
second home run, talking to her, she
said, ‘I wasn’t going to let it happen
like with Callaway where I hit a long
home run over the fence foul and
then I strikeout. I was going to keep
my head down and hit it and it went
over the fence.’”
The strikeout to end the game
was also career No. 1,000 and, despite giving up an unearned run
in the seventh, she completed the
no-hitter against the Wolverines.
She is the first Iowa High School
softball player in state tournament
history to have a multiple home run
game and throw a no-hitter in the
same game.
Which was better?
“I don’t know,” Sicard said, “both
felt pretty good.”
The Cougars combined for eight
hits and their pressure against River
Valley forced four errors that compounded things as AGWSR jumped
out to a 4-0 lead after one inning.
“It was nice to get that four-run
lead right away,” Drake said. “We
could relax.”
Drake, who recorded her 100 th
win of her career as a coach in the
first game at state reflected on all of
the landmark accomplishments she
and her team have made this season.
“It’s awesome, there’s no feeling
like it,” Drake said. “We had (cocoach Scott) O’Brien get his 300 th
earlier in the season, Ashley got her
100th (career win) and now her 1000th
strikeout. It’s one of those memorable years and hopefully we can finish that off.”
Despite the huge day for Sicard,
she insisted she and her teammates
were only looking to finally get into
the title game.
“We just wanted to get to the
championship round after the past
two years,” Sicard said. “We fell in
this game (then).
“It feels great. Our team hasn’t
made it to the championship round at
all the last three years and now we
finally got the chance to go into the
championship round.”

AGWSR’s softball seniors share one final
hug on the field after winning the Class 1A
state title on Friday, July 24 at Fort Dodge.
KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE
TEAM
OF DESTINY
COUGARS GO OUT ON TOP
BY KRISTI NIXON
FORT DODGE – AGWSR showed off its power and
left no doubt to the outcome of the Class 1A state championship game early on Friday, July 24.
The Cougars put their hitting shoes on against Logan-Magnolia and emerged state champions at last after
three straight trips to the state tournament with a dominating 12-0 win in three innings.
Ashley Sicard hit a two-run home run, her battery
mate Jami Johnson added another that started an eightrun third, and the rout was on against the Panthers.
“We’ve been working so hard for this goal that we set
at the beginning of the year and there was no doubt in
our minds that we were going to get first; we were not
going to settle for second,” AGWSR senior third baseman Maddie Deters said. “We were gunning for first,
there was no doubt about it...
“We came out and played our best game of the season
and it paid off.”
AGWSR was credited for six hits and made contact to
reach base even more when it wasn’t working walks – six
against Logan-Magnolia’s Abby Straight.
Straight didn’t record a single strikeout.
“We controlled the strike zone,” Cougar co-coach
Scott O’Brien said. “Our batters went up there, worked
hard...we hit for over an hour and a half, we were not going to swing at the high pitch, not going to expand the
zone and we were going to make her bring the ball down
where we could do something with it.
“If we did that, she is no different than hitting off of
(East Marshall ace Mariah) Fritz or any of these girls
we’ve handled, which we’ve hit well against. The umpire
had a strike zone where he was not going to give her that
high pitch and we made her bring it in there and we knew
what to do with it.”
Much like the start in the semifinal game, Cougar
lead-off hitter Alana Groninga reached base, was sacrificed over and then Sicard hit a two-run bomb.
It was Sicard’s third in two days.
“I was just telling myself, ‘watch that rise ball’ and I
AGWSR hoists the Class 1A state title trophy after winning 12-0 in three innings over Logan-Magnolia on
Friday, July 24 at Fort Dodge. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE
watched the first one go by and he didn’t call it,” Sicard
said. “It kind of looked like a strike on me, but it wasn’t.
I let that one go and then the next one go and she finally
threw me a strike and I’m like, ‘OK, I think I got this.’
And then she threw me one right where I liked it and then
I hit it.”
A lead-off walk in the second led to two more runs
and by then the Panthers appeared flustered, making
miscues which also included three passed balls and a
wild pitch that only compounded to their trouble.
I’m never going
to take it (the
tournament ribbon)
off, it feels so good
around my neck. It was
honestly a personal
goal from the beginning
of the season.
Earning all-tournament team honors for the Cougars
were Jodi Johnson, Deters, Morgan Kappel and Sicard
was the overwhelming choice as captain.
Deters said she saw no time in the near future that she
was taking her tournament ribbon off.
“I’m never going to take it off, it feels so good around
my neck,” Deters said. “It was honestly a personal goal
from the beginning of the season. The coaches wanted us
to have a few personal goals and team goals as well. We
all worked so hard at them and I reached all of my goals.
It’s just unbelievable.”
After a moment’s consideration and pressed a little
further, Deters said, “It’s never coming off....well, maybe, I don’t want it to fall off, but probably not for a while.”
Sicard added the captainship ribbon to the all-tournament one she earned as a sophomore. But she said the
ending was the ‘best one ever.’
“It’s so bittersweet,” Sicard said. “It’s awesome. (It is
bittersweet because it’s my) last game in my senior year
for AGWSR.”
Co-coach Brenda Drake said that all of the hard work
has paid off.
“They’ve worked so hard the last four years, even
when they were not starters, they were in the batting
cage, working on things,” Drake said. “Jami and Ashley have worked their tails off, in there pitching and
doing things and they wanted it this year, and boy, they
deserve it.”
O’Brien reflected on winning the title after gaining
his 300th career win as a coach this year.
“You never know what it feels like until it happens
and then it’s like, ‘Wow,’” O’Brien said. “You never
know if you’ll ever get a chance to do it again, so you
really appreciate what you get. I feel so good for the girls,
they’ve worked so hard and such a great group, especially the seniors, but all of them.
“They put in so much time, so much effort. All of
those fall tournaments, spring tournaments, workouts in
the winter, it’s all come together for them. I couldn’t be
prouder.”

Fire Up the Grill with
Barbecue Meatball Skewers
FAMILY FEATURES
There’s nothing better than firing up the grill and gathering
in the backyard with family and
friends. While everyone expects
to see burgers, dogs and steaks,
you can show your guests you’re
a true barbecue master by serving
up smoky, grilled appetizers fresh
off the grill.
Try a new fan favorite of the season – Barbecue Meatball Skewers
with Mozzarella— courtesy of
Chris Lilly, world champion pitmaster. This recipe for deliciously
gooey grilled meatball skewers is
a tasty way to kick the party off
right.
The key is a little trick all pitmasters know: the two-zone fire.
Simply put, the two-zone fire
splits the grill in half. Pile hot
charcoal on one half for direct,
high-heat cooking and searing,
while leaving the other side free
of charcoal for lower-temperature cooking of dishes, such as
appetizers and sides.
Pitmasters and novice grillers
alike choose Kingsford® charcoal to keep their grills burning
bright. These briquets light faster
and burn hotter than other fuel
sources.
Follow these tips for creating
the perfect two-zone charcoal

1. Light your coals using a
chimney starter or lighter fluid.
For high heat, use a full chimney
of charcoal or light a pile of about
100 briquettes.
2. Pour out your hot coals on
one side or use a spatula or tongs
to carefully move all the coals to
cover 50 percent of the lower grill
grate.
3. The void space, free of coals
directly underneath the grates,
is still hot. Food will cook there
— just not as fast as on the direct
side, right above the coals.
4. Use the hot side of your grill
for direct cooking with high
heat—for example, searing a steak
to get good color, caramelization
and grill marks. Use the other side
for slow, indirect cooking and to
let foods cook through after searing. The coal-free side also serves
as a flame-free zone. In case of
flare-ups, just move your food to
the indirect side until the flames
subside, then move them back to
the direct side to finish cooking.

National Farmers Market Week starts Aug. 2-8
Local ag officials, farmers and
consumers are gearing up for National Farmers Market Week Aug. 2-8.
The local growers who operate
the Franklin County Farmers Market represent one of the fastest growing segments of agriculture in Iowa.
Every dollar spent at the farmers
market helps create new jobs, income and opportunities for Iowans.
By shopping at the farmers market
you are making an investment in
Iowa’s future. This also enables you
to ask about chemicals, insecticides,
etc. that have been used in growing
the produce.
While no local vendors are certified organic farmers, many of them
use few or no chemicals to produce
their crop. In addition, because the
crops are picked ripe rather than
green and brought for sale soonthereafter, vitamins and minerals
present in the fruits and vegetables
are at their highest levels. Canning
and freezing quantities are available
for anyone who wants to take the
time to preserve them.
The Franklin County Farmers
Market also provides lots of locally-produced fresh baked goods,
plants for your home, yard and garden, honey, jams and jellies, fresh
eggs, flowers and dried herbs. Most
of these products will be available
all season. For the best selection, it is
necessary to come early, but a good
selection is available throughout the
market. Customers always have the
option to order ahead to be sure the
desired products are available.

Flowers, vegetables, fruit, canned goods and much more can be found at
the Franklin County Farmers Market in downtown Hampton. FILE PHOTO
The Franklin County Farmers
Market provides two additional services to families. The WIC and Senior program checks are available
for our county and accepted at our
market by most fruit and vegetable
vendors. Franklin County has been
in the program since it was first expanded beyond the original eight
or nine large counties because the
vendors here were very interested in
participating.
Food stamps are also accepted at
our market by two vendors who sell
food or garden plants. While it is
not widely used, we feel this service
benefits families on food stamps

A beautiful summer day brought
a great group to our gathering of
CAL Over 60s on Tuesday, July 21.
We welcomed Jane Morton, Reg’s
wife. It is so great to have Darrel
Borcherding and Joanne Dohrmann
coming regularly, too.
Joy and Dixie were Phyllis’ main
helpers. Others in the group helped
towards the end of lunch.
We feasted on an old favorite of
creamed potatoes and peas, fruited
gelatin salad, meat loaf, slices of
bakery bread with frosted red velvet
cake and ice cream. Alice’s birthday
is July 31st and she furnished the ice
cream for her treat. Other birthdays
acknowledged were Denny Shirk’s
and Halvor Egede’s.
Norma gave the address in Mason
City where Elaine Plagge and Shirley Knudsen may receive greetings
and encouragement.
Today’s question: “What significant space triumph occurred on this
day, July, 21?” LaVonne knew the
answer. Do you?
Judy Aldrich from ABCM in Belmond introduced our speaker, Dave,
from Thrivent Financial, who explained a number of the areas where
his company can help with money
matters. Members of our group are
familiar with this company. Thank
you.
Plans for the next meal are on
Aug. 4. There will be blood pressure
checks by Vicky starting at 11 a.m.
and BINGO will be after lunch with
Tracy and Judy.
St. Paul’s Lutheran will furnish
kitchen helpers and Pastor Berg.
Please come.
