Supervisors
prepare for
revenue drop
with 2015-16
budget
BY TRAVIS FISCHER
The Franklin County Board of
Supervisors approved the 2015-16
budget following a public hearing on
Monday, March 2.
The public hearing was attended
by the county’s department heads,
who offered no comment about the
budget. Likewise, the county supervisors said that they hadn’t received any
comments from their constituents.
“We didn’t do a good enough job
if nobody is mad,” joked Supervisor
Mike Nolte.
Following the hearing, the supervisors approved the budget.
Anticipating a loss of revenue
in the future, next year’s budget includes several preemptive cost saving measures. Funding for non-government agencies in Franklin County
was cut by 2 percent or eliminated
completely, and no new funding will
be offered for the time being.
Along with predictions of a dip
in valuation for county farmland,
the supervisors are also concerned
about the state’s recent property tax
rollback on commercial property. By
including commercial wind farms,
which already receive a tax break,
into the rollback, the lower valuation could end up resulting in a loss
of $300,000 in tax revenue for the
county.
By taking preemptive matters
with the budget now, the supervisors
hope to avoid a bad ¿nancial situation in the future.
“We’re very concerned with
what’s happening at the state so
we’re preparing ourselves for that,”
said Nolte. “We are trying to prepare
for the worst.”

have another way to stay
informed during extreme
weather events and other
emergencies following the
addition of a new messaging service.
The City of Hampton recently signed up
for Nixle, a mass-messaging platform that allows government agencies to send text or email
alerts to registered users.
Nixle is free for the city and will be
used to issue community-relevant
advisories.
“This is one more tool for the citizens of Hampton to utilize and be
better informed in real time,” said
Mayor Brook Boehmler in a press
release. “We are really excited about
this new service and encourage all
citizens to get registered.”

Gas tax increase
opens door for more
road improvements in
Franklin County
Local officials are optimistic that
a 10-cent increase in the state’s gas
tax will help fund additional road repairs
and other infrastructure improvements in
Franklin County.
The Iowa Legislature last week approved
the first increase in the state’s gas tax since
1989. The hike will generate more than $200
million in additional revenue for city, county and
state roads, which have begun to deteriorate in many
parts of Iowa. The increase went into effect on Sunday
after it passed with bipartisan support in the House and
BY
Senate last week.
NICK
According to county engineer Jay Waddingham, the
PEDLEY
increase will generate around $822,000 in additional annual revenue for Franklin County and its eight cities.
“We do have a lot of roads that are past their design life,” he
nd
said. “Those obviously require maintenance with sealing joints and
stuff like that. It’ll help us Band-Aid them together before we can get
them resurfaced.”
Waddingham felt Franklin County roads were in better shape than many
others throughout the state, but he did admit there’s room for improvement. The
county currently has 35 miles of paved road with surfaces 20 years or older. That
signi¿cantly exceeds their 15-year design life, and Waddingham hoped the additional
revenue could help bring some of those up to date.
He also said revenue generated from the 10-cent increase would go towards gravel
roads, culvert repair and other maintenance. Waddingham felt the gas tax hike was a
necessary step towards improving the state’s infrastructure and welcomed the additional
¿nancial support.

ROAD USE FUNDS
The meeting began with economic development director Karen
Mitchell thanking the legislators for
their work on supporting the gasoline
tax increase.
“I know that’s not fun work, but
the reality is that stuff doesn’t ¿x itself by magic,” said Mitchell. “Our
infrastructure, our roads and bridges,
are absolutely crucial to the economic viability of the state as well as rural counties.”
But with the increase in the gas
tax, there is still the issue of making
sure that the new money is spent
the way it is supposed to be spent.
Franklin County Supervisor Mike
Nolte asked if the formula for how
gas tax money is distributed would
be changed.
“No, I wouldn’t have supported it
if it did,” said Ragan.
The priorities of how the additional road use money will be used was
questioned as well, with Supervisor
Gary McVicker expressing concern
that the new money will be used to
fund new projects rather than makeup for the current funding shortfalls.

The Hampton City Council discussed a proposal at last Thursday’s
meeting that would establish designated parking areas at three public
lots when the emergency snow ordinance is in effect.
The proposal was only one on
a list of changes included in a draft
amendment to the city’s current snow
ordinance. Certain questions were
raised about the policy in January,
which led the council to investigate
possible improvements and other
clari¿cations.
If approved, the amendment
would allow parking on city-owned
property at three locations when
the snow ordinance is in effect: the
library’s east parking lot, the north
downtown lot at the corner of Second Street Northwest and Third Avenue Northwest, and the lower parking area at Progress Park between the
basketball court and tennis court. All
vehicles would need to be removed
from the designated areas within 24
hours after the ordinance is lifted.

Hampton legislative forum hits on multiple topics
BY TRAVIS FISCHER
Iowa State House Rep. Linda Upmeyer and Iowa State Sen. Amanda
Ragan visited Hampton on Feb. 27 to
speak with local constituents about
the issues they would like to see addressed.
The state legislature is approaching “funnel week” where they decide
which bills will be debated and voted
on during this session.
“If there are bills you care about,
make sure we know about them,”
said Upmeyer. “That’s where a lot
of bills that have been ¿led will meet
their demise.”

Hungry locals hankering for a
plate of quality Mexican food will
have another dining option in downtown Hampton soon.
Hacienda Vieja Family Mexican
Restaurant will open its doors later this week in the former Morelos
Restaurant building. Hacienda Vieja
is the eighth restaurant for owners
Salvador Lepe and Raul Guitrow,
who decided to come to Hampton
after receiving encouragement from
customers at their Fort Dodge establishment.
“They were from Hampton and
they told us they needed something
like that here,” explained Lepe. “So,
that’s how we decided to come to
Hampton.”
Lepe and Guitrow purchased the
building after Morelos closed in November. They spent the past three
months upgrading the restaurant’s
kitchen in preparation for the grand
opening, and they eventually intend
to update the dining area as well.

HACIENDA VIEJA
There was no family Mexican restaurant open in
Hampton when the two men purchased the building,
which sped up the opening date somewhat.
“We have a lot to work on in this building. New
Àoors, a lot of things to ¿x,” Lepe said. “It’s alright
to do a few changes to start, but we decided to wait a
little bit. There was nothing in town so we were trying
to open as soon as we could for the customers.”
Guests at Hacienda Vieja will notice a few differences compared to its predecessor. Lepe and Guitrow
have added a full bar and intend to offer daily food
and drink specials, and they also plan to have a full
carry-out menu available.
The two owners hoped to open Hacienda Vieja
sometime this weekend or before. They’re currently
lining up food distributors and stocking the kitchen,
which is the only thing standing in the way of the
grand opening.
The restaurant received its liquor license last Thursday and passed its health inspection on Monday.
“With that and our liquor license, we’ll be able
to start with our full menu right away,” said Lepe.
“When the sign says ‘open’ out front, that’s when
people can know we’re ready for sure.”
The restaurant can be reached at (641) 456-2344.

MEDICAL CANNABIS
Switching topics, Kathy PauleSchnell of Belmond expressed her
desire to see stronger efforts towards
legalizing medical cannabis.
“I, and many other people, feel
that Iowa needs a sensible, broader
medical cannabis law than we currently have,” said Paule-Schnell,
referring to last year’s law that decriminalized the possession of marijuana oil for epilepsy patients, but
did not legalize its production or
sale in the state, making it legal to
have, but illegal to obtain. “It was
passed in good faith, but the truth is
there isn’t anybody that has bene¿ted from that law.”
Paule-Schnell asked Upmeyer
about the lack of support for a new
bill and who is responsible for bringing it up.
“When I have talked to you, Linda, about this, you’ve said that there
isn’t enough support from the members for a cannabis bill,” said PauleSchnell. “But when I’ve talked to the
members, they say that it’s the leadership that doesn’t want it.”
“I’ve not had one member ask for
this,” said Upmeyer, who explained
that the issue is still divisive among
the population, which makes it dif¿-
COUNCIL
“Before, they were supposed to
have them moved out of those lots
during the snow ordinance,” said
Mayor Brook Boehmler. “Now we’re
saying that you can park in these
three city parking lots, you just have
to move them within 24 hours. That’s
the big difference on this.”
The amendment would also allow
residents to park vehicles on their
yards for 24 hours after the snow ordinance is lifted. Residents are currently allowed to park on their yards
when the ordinance in effect, but
there’s no timeframe for the vehicles’
removal.
“I think one of the things that we
wanted to do is get the revisions out
to the public as quickly as possible, so
if there’s any comments or anything
else they know that this is what we’ll
be taking action on in the future,” said
Boehmler. “If we’re going to put ordinances in, we want to enforce them
and make sure there’s as much clarity
as possible in the public.”
The two additions were only a
small part of the revised policy. The
council will discuss the snow ordinance briefly during its March 9
workshop with the ¿rst reading of the
proposed amendment tentatively set
for March 12. The complete document is on ¿le at City Hall for public
viewing.

“We’ve got so much infrastructure that needs to be repaired, maybe they need to be looking at doing
these critical repairs before they
start building a new interchange
on 380 or extending Highway 30
from Cedar Rapids to Clinton,” said
McVicker. “That’s all important, but
we need to bring the money back
here and use it where it needs to be
used. Before you start building new,
let’s get all this stuff that needs to be
repaired done ¿rst.”
Upmeyer assured the supervisors
that the road use funds will continue
to be distributed by the current formula and that the bill speci¿es that
priority be given to projects that are
“critical needs.”
“I’ll agree that there’s room for
interpretation on ‘critical needs’ but
the commission has their responsibility to create the ¿ve-year plan,” said
Upmeyer. “I can tell you that there’s
going to be a lot of people watching
to see how these dollars are spent.”
One person already watching
those dollars is area resident Fritz
Groskruger, who questioned the
practical need of some of Iowa’s
more elaborate rest stop projects.
“When I stop at a rest area and see

said it is so misleading.”
Upmeyer and Ragan noted specific issues, like criminal charges that
are eventually dropped not being removed from the system, along with
general issues such as the unintuitive
search system. This makes it needlessly dif¿cult to perform tasks such
as background checks.
“It does not reÀect well on us as a
state,” said Mitchell.
Tricia Christiansen, guidance
counselor at Hampton-Dumont High
School, also asked the legislators
what the school district should expect from the capitol regarding the
ongoing debate over school start
days. There has been a crackdown
on the formally common practice
of issuing waivers for schools to allow an early start to the year, leaving
schools with scheduling issues.
“The majority of our students take
college classes. Colleges start before
Labor Day,” said Christiansen. “That
really throws a wrench in our students’ ability to take college classes.”
Ragan said that there is a bill in
the Senate that would allow for local
control of school start days, but was
unsure of the bill’s chance at passing.
“There’s no reason to pass a bill
that says local control if the governor
is going to veto it,” said Ragan. “So
there is a willingness to compromise,
but I think ¿nding the right date is really where it’s at.”
“As far as the date, the House has
a bill right now that says ‘The week
of the 23rd,’” said Upmeyer. “That
seems to have some support because
it gets close to Labor Day, but not
beyond it.”
Upmeyer said that the compromise would be made easier if the
school boards would actively participate in the discussion.
“This would have all been done
by now if the schools would just
come to the table,” said Upmeyer. “They didn’t want to have this
discussion. They wanted to start
‘whenever’ and the governor clearly said it wasn’t going to be ‘whenever,’ and so we have to come to
some agreement.”
Finally, Hampton Public Works
Director Doug Tarr asked about allocating some of the surplus state funds
to improving Beed’s Lake.
“We’re held accountable in an
effort to start making Iowa’s waters
¿shable and swimmable,” said Tarr.
“I’d like to see the state put some
money into the park out there that
they own.”
“We agree that there are some
projects out there that would be a
good use of one-time dollars,” said
Upmeyer.
Tarr also informed the legislators
of the need for additional DNR of¿cers to enforce hunting laws. Tarr
said that the local DNR of¿cer does
a good job, but having to watch
over multiple counties has him
spread too thin.
“Someone actually tried to poach
deer in my backyard this year and he
was in a whole other county,” said
Tarr. “We need one per county and if
you have to do it by raising the state
tax and license fees, let’s do it because I think it’s going to get to be a
real danger.”
PD warns of burglaries, tax scams
The Hampton Police Department is reminding
residents to lock their vehicles and homes following
another string of burglaries.
Police Chief Bob Schaefer reported at last week’s
city council meeting that multiple vehicles had been
robbed recently. Schaefer also said the unknown perpetrators had snooped through a garage and broken
into a local business.
“They’re going through unlocked cars. Some
of the times things are taken, other times nothing’s
taken,” he said. “Make sure you keep your car doors
locked, and make sure you keep your garages and
houses locked.”
The recent thefts mirrored a late-November crime
spree that saw seven unlocked vehicles burglarized in
one weekend. Schaefer urged anyone with information
to step forward and also encouraged residents to contact
police if they see any suspicious activity.
Schaefer also said there have been multiple phone
scams reported in the area. The hucksters try to coerce money from unsuspecting residents by claiming
the IRS is suing them.
“It is tax time, but I don’t think the IRS is going to
call you up and say they’re suing you without sending someone out or sending you a letter,” he said.

Body camera bill
needs work
A new bill introduced last week in the Iowa Legislature
has given new life to the ongoing debate over police body
cameras. All law enforcement of¿cers would be required to
wear the devices on patrol if it gets approved, but certain
ambiguities could dog the proposal as this year’s General
Assembly wears on.
Body cameras have been a hot topic since the late-summer debacle in Ferguson, Mo. Many advocates feel the devices would give a better perspective of daily interactions
between police of¿cers and the general public, in turn creating a greater layer of transparency and protection if questions arise after an arrest. This goes both ways. Body cameras would help protect citizens if law enforcement is out of
line while simultaneously shielding of¿cers against unwarranted accusations. In a perfect world, everybody’s happy.
However, certain hurdles exist. Very few, if any, departments have existing policy for body cameras. This leaves
many questions unanswered, like which recordings are public
record and how long the footage should be stored. Different
ideas in the Legislature have addressed these uncertainties,
but nothing has been set in stone. It’s clear lawmakers need
to tackle this discrepancy and develop a statewide policy for
departments to follow if body cameras are mandated. Failing
to do so would only create more problems in the future.
Another key issue highlighting the body camera debate is
funding. The current proposal suggests that departments pay
for the devices with state and federal grants; however, that
seems like a rather shortsighted approach. The existence of
these grants has been drawn into question, and forcing cashstrapped departments to pay for body cameras on their own
would be ill advised. These devices aren’t cheap, but neither
is the cost to store footage. The Legislature should set aside
money to cover at least 75 percent of the body cameras and
necessary storage capabilities. Smaller rural agencies are already hindered by ¿nancial constraints, and adding to that
burden could come at a detriment to public safety.
The bill in the Iowa Legislature is well intentioned, but it
needs work. Body cameras will only continue gaining popularity as more and more departments add them to their arsenal voluntarily. It’s clear these devices have the potential
to protect both of¿cers and citizens, but the proper policies
and funding need to be established before they become a
mandated necessity for everyday police work in Iowa.
Momentum for
medicinal marijuana?
Public support for medicinal marijuana in Iowa grew signi¿cantly over the past year, but don’t expect drastic changes to existing policy anytime soon.
A recent poll conducted by the Des Moines Register indicated that 70 percent of Iowans favored legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes in the state. That number was up
11 points from 2014 and comes on the heels of legislation
that legalized cannabis oil for a narrowed set of diseases last
year. It appears Iowans are warming to the idea of medicinal
marijuana, and our lawmakers should take note.
However, this doesn’t mean the state should go all-in on
the idea just yet. The current cannabis oil law created a foundation, and many believe it could use some revision to create
a better policy. This seems like the most logical step moving
forward and the most probable one in 2015. Many lawmakers
hold reservations about the drug, and thoroughly investigating it before expanding medical use is vital.
Twenty-three other states have medicinal marijuana laws
on the books. That number is likely to grow in the near future and Iowa might be one of them some day. However,
we’re taking baby steps right now, which is the right tactic
as the state plans ahead.
Upmeyer criticizes Mason’s
“extravagant” retirement package
It’s hard to believe the month of
March has arrived. With the frigid
temperatures we’ve been experiencing, I am looking forward to the ¿rst
signs of a refreshing Iowa spring.
Earlier this year, the University of Iowa President Sally Mason
announced her intent to retire at
the end of the current school year.
Since the announcement, questions
have been raised about the terms of
her employment contract signed in
2007 and her retirement package recently approved by the Iowa Board
of Regents.
Upon her retirement, President
Mason will become President Emeritus at the University of Iowa. As laid
out in her 2007 employment contract, during her ¿rst year as President Emeritus, President Mason is
expected to receive a salary of approximately $315,000 (60 percent
of her current salary), an of¿ce, and
secretarial support. However, she
will have no teaching or service obligations at the university during this
¿rst “transitional” year. Additionally,
at this time, it is uncertain what duties President Mason will have at the
university in the years following this
transition.
Approving such a large and ex-
UNDER THE
GOLDEN
DOME, TOO
Linda
Upmeyer
travagant retirement package with
no track record at the university is
irresponsible. Not requiring any
level of service, while continuing
to pay a public servant a six-¿gure
salary, is wasteful. There are better
uses of taxpayer dollars. This money should go directly toward the
education of our students, instead
it takes money away from them. In
fact, this money could be used to
pay the tuition and fees for nearly
40 Iowa resident students during the
2015-2016 school year.
Members of the Board of Regents have defended President Mason’s retirement package by saying
it follows tradition, noting former
University of Iowa presidents have
been given the same option since
1940. With the retirement of President Mason, the university will have
two former presidents serving in the
capacity of President Emeritus – her
and Willard Boyd, who retired as
president in 1991. Mr. Boyd remains
a faculty member in the University’s
College of Law.
Compared to Iowa’s two other
public universities, the retirement
options in President Mason’s employment agreement are signi¿cantly higher. Neither President Steven
Leath of Iowa State University nor
President William Ruud of the University of Northern Iowa were granted tenure when they were hired for
their current positions.
In other news, next week will be
the Legislature’s ¿rst “funnel” week,
which is a deadline for legislators to
pass bills out of their respective policy committees in either the House
or Senate, in order to remain eligible
for further consideration. Appropriations, Ways & Means, and Government Oversight bills are exempt from
the funnel rules.

Capitol in the near future, please feel

Good news for working families and veterans
Iowa has the highest percentage
of households with children under
age six who have all available parents in the labor force – 77 percent,
according to the U.S. Census Bureau. These statistics illustrate that
Iowans work hard. With young kids
in childcare an average of 36 hours
per week, it also shows the importance of high-quality care.
The brain develops rapidly from
birth to age ¿ve, building the foundation of cognitive and character
skills. As many families know, good
care that helps ensure a child’s success in school and life can come at a
high cost.
The joint Health & Human Services Appropriations Committee,
which I chair in the Senate, recently heard about changes to federal
law that will help to improve Iowa’s
Child Care Assistance Program.
Some of those changes include improvements in training for childcare
providers and changes in program eligibility requirements that no longer
penalize families when they receive
modest pay increases.
The Senate will be proposing
additional changes that will reward
childcare providers for reaching certain quality benchmarks and changing income eligibility limits so that
more working families are eligible
for assistance. These changes will
ensure that more families with mod-

Last session, the Legislature approved more property tax relief to
those who have sacri¿ced the most
for our country. We expanded the
Disabled Veterans Property Tax
Credit to include a full property tax
exemption for those who suffered
a 100 percent disability because of
their service, and allowed the exemption to apply to surviving spouses
and children of those killed in service
to our nation.
However, the law inadvertently left out veterans who suffered a
permanent disability. This week, we
¿xed that problem. House File 166
will allow those veterans to claim
and receive the property tax exemption. This legislation is retroactive
to last year, so those who met this
standard and had applied will receive
their bene¿t.
Veterans must apply to their local
assessor to receive an exemption. For
more information, contact your local
assessor by going to www.iowa-assessors.org/htdocs/Assessors_of_
Iowa, or county veterans’ of¿ce by
going to www.va.iowa.gov/counties.

Dows Freedom Rock project makes progress
The Wright County Freedom
Rock was moved into Dows early
last month. This feat was organized
by American Legion Post 523 Commander Bill Chambers, leading a
team comprised of Dave’s Crane
Service from Union, Neil Thomas,
John Ingebritson, Steve Weidemann
and Mary Echelberger.
On this very cold and windy day,
the team met north of town on the
Fanselow Farm. Ingebritson cleared
the snow from a bean ¿eld which allowed Dave’s Crane Service to lift
the Freedom Rock from its resting
spot and placed it on Thomas’ lowboy semi-tractor trailer.
Thomas and his assistants drove
it from the farm to Dows. When the
rock arrived in Dows, Dave’s Crane
Service removed the large rock and
placed it on site. Weidemann and his
team then assisted by properly positioning the rock in an upright position. While all this activity was going
on, Echelberger took
pictures and videos.
Some can be seen on
the Wright Freedom
Rock Facebook page.
There were many
who came out, offered
advice, provided moral support and had a
great time watching.

Net Neutrality scored a big win
last Thursday.
Last week the FCC voted 3-2 in
favor of using Title II of the Communications Act to of¿cially declare the
Internet a public utility, giving them
the authority to apply and enforce
the net neutrality regulations that the
courts struck down last year.
This is a huge deal and I really
should go into more depth on the topic, but this week I really want to talk
about Power Rangers.
Earlier this week a 15-minute
Power Rangers fan ¿lm took the Internet by storm. Of course, “fan ¿lm”
may not be the appropriate term.
Produced by Adi Shankar, directed
by Joseph Kahn, and starring Katee
Sackhoff and James Van Der Beek,
the short movie had all the production value and talent of a major motion picture, making it stand apart
from the amateur fan ¿lms that occasionally pop up.
But what really made this movie
the talk of the virtual town wasn’t its
high end special effects or big name
talent. It was the content. Shankar’s
“bootleg universe” of Power Rangers
was a far more graphic take on the
concept, at times looking more like a
Quentin Tarantino movie than a Saturday morning kids show. (In fact,
more than a couple scenes in the ¿lm
look like they were directly inspired
by “Kill Bill.”)
Filled with blood, drugs, torture,
and death, this ‘realistic,’ for lack of
a better word, applied real world logic to the premise of Power Rangers,
showing what might really happen if
a group of teenagers were drafted into
a war against alien robot invaders.
Reaction to the fan ¿lm has been
mixed. Some enjoyed the novelty
of seeing a darker take on the concept, while others were repulsed at
the idea of creating R-rated material
out of something made for children.
Both viewpoints have their merit.
The movie is certainly looking
at the franchise through a lens that
it was never intended for, but is that
a good or bad thing? Can you take
the silliness out of Power Rangers
without undermining the spirit of the
show? Should everything in Power
Rangers be limited to the children’s
demographic, or can the franchise
grow up with its audience?
Some franchises have managed
it. For instance, there is a Batman
for everybody. Next year we’ll see
Ben Affleck portray the brooding
dark knight in “Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice.” The year after that,
Will Arnett will voice a silly LEGO
version of the character. The 1960s
“Batman” show covered the punches with silly looking sound effects. A
few weeks ago on “Gotham,” a character plucked out their own eye.
As a fan of Kevin Conroy, the one
true voice of Batman, I have been
able to enjoy his work for my entire
life. In 1992 I was the target demographic for “Batman: The Animated
Series,” when he ¿rst voiced the character. Today I’m still the target demographic for his most recent performance, the upcoming M-rated video
game, “Batman: Arkham Knight.”
So it’s certainly possible for a franchise to transcend its original audience,
but does that mean it’s possible for every franchise? The concept of Batman
lends itself well to a wide range of demographics, but not every property can
transition itself that easily.
“The Smurfs” may be kid friendly on the surface, but there are many
aspects of Smurf society that would
be very disturbing if looked through
a more critical lens. Sometimes it’s
better to just not go there.
Even Shankar admitted that his
Power Rangers fan film is something of a parody about Hollywood’s
recent habit of creating “gritty and
realistic” adaptations of children’s
entertainment.
And he’s right, his fan ¿lm may
have been an interesting take on the
franchise, but I certainly wouldn’t
want to see anything so dark from
an actual big screen release. I hope
Hollywood takes the correct message from this movie. Bad enough
we already have movies that feature Superman and Optimus Prime
executing their foes in cold blood. I
don’t need to see the Green Ranger
covered in blood after decapitating
Lord Zedd.
Maybe there’s a place for a dark
and gritty Power Rangers, but that
place might just be the occasional internet fan ¿lm.

GAS TAX
“I found stuff in our files from
the early Nineties that showed they
were trying to get a gas tax increase
to keep up with the demand. It
didn’t happen until 20 years later,
so we’re essentially 20 years behind
on some things,” he said. “Now’s
the time to do it, so I guess it’s good
that we got the gas tax to move
some roads up a bit and catch them
before they’re shot.”
It’s not that we want
more taxes or want to
pay more for gas, but
we want good roads
and bridges to travel on.
- Corey Eberling. Supervisor
Supervisor Corey Eberling
echoed those sentiments and felt the
increase was a long time coming.
Five years ago, the county entered
into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
agreement on the windmill development south of Geneva to help ¿nance
infrastructure repairs. Eberling explained that the county essentially
borrowed against future tax revenue
on the windmills, which generated
money for improvements at more
than 20 bridges and box culverts
throughout Franklin County.
“Had we not done that I’d say
we’d be in as bad of shape as some of
theses other rural counties you hear
about, but I’m not saying we’re in
great shape,” he said. “They’ve taken
so long to get this done, so we’re already behind the eight ball. It’s de¿nitely going to help, though.”
Funds generated from the gas
tax increase will be available to city
and county governments as early as
this year. That revenue is one component of the Road Use Tax Fund
(RUTF), which is comprised of
motor vehicle registration fees, fuel
taxes and excise taxes from trailers
and vehicle rentals.
The City of Hampton will gain
around $75,000 in additional RUTF
revenue under the new gas tax rate.

said the city could use the money
to fund anything from street resurfacing to sewer improvements, but
there is currently no set plan for the
new revenue.
“Any extra money we get for
roads is wonderful. Like other cities
around our age, our streets wear out,”
he said. “I think we’ll be able to put it
to good use.”
Despite outspoken support from
local of¿cials, the increase still remains a divisive issue among the
public. A recent Des Moines Register
poll found that 50 percent of Iowans
opposed the hike while 48 percent
supported it.
All three of¿cials understood the
increase meant less money in constituents’ pocketbooks, but felt it was
necessary nonetheless.
“It’s not that we want more taxes
or want to pay more for gas, but we
want good roads and bridges to travel
on,” said Eberling. “It’s going to be a
huge help, but it’s not going to be the
answer to the whole problem.”

Five Years Ago
March 3, 2010
From 1983-1999, he was governor of Iowa, and now Terry Branstad
says his experience can help cure
what ails Iowans’ budgets and their
pride via job creation, a reduction in
government spending and increasing the state’s ranking in education.
Gov. Branstad delivered this message to about 30 people at Seven
Stars Family Restaurant in Hampton
Friday as part of his 2010 Comeback
Tour. Branstad said during his time
as governor the unemployment rate
dropped from 8 ½ to 2 ½ percent.
Bryce Lee Rhoads came into
this world on February 19, 2010,
at 1:44 a.m. He weighed six
pounds, eight ounces and was 29
inches long. Bryce is welcomed
home by his ¿ve-year-old brother,
Trenten Rhoads and his parents,
Kris and Staci Rhoads. Grandparents are LeeRoy and Lora Bodecker of Hampton and Jim and Carla
DeBour of Dumont.
Ms. Lori Millard stands in front
of the class using her laptop and projector as a basis for learning. Next

for the plaintiff on February 24 in
the amount of $208.86 with 2.13%
Meeting state and federal pesticide record-keeping
requirements can be as easy as pulling out a smartphone
or tablet for producers and agribusinesses, thanks to an
app Iowa State University helped develop.
The Pesticide Safety Education Program at ISU
worked on the Pesticide and Field Records app for
iOS and Android systems with funding from the Iowa
Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and
the Environmental Protection Agency. It is available
at no charge from the iTunes store (Pesticide and
Field Records Plus) and Google Play (Pesticide and
Field Records).
The ISU Extension and Outreach program, formerly known as the Pest Management and the Environment Program, is working with the developers to improve the app’s usefulness and features, said Kristine
Schaefer, program manager and extension program
specialist.
The app is designed to help producers and agricultural businesses record and maintain pesticide application information. It allows users to document pesticide application information and link the information
to speci¿c ¿eld locations using satellite mapping.
The app also features a product search option that
lists EPA product registration numbers and identi¿es
restricted use products. The iPad version, and an updated release of the Android version scheduled for late
February, includes printing and emailing capabilities.

A FIRST TIME FOR
EVERYTHING
ProStart Students Attend
Their First Competition
At 7:15 AM last Tuesday, if you’d been looking
for the students in H-D’s
ProStart program, you’d
have found them in the high
school cafeteria preparing a
three-course gourmet meal.
This year, twelve eager H-D
students signed up for the
newest offering by the Iowa
High School Family and
Consumer Science Teacher
of the Year, Jane Hoegh. In
this class, students not only
learn essential skills they
will need if they are going
LQWRWKHFXOLQDU\ÀHOGEXW
also skills that are applied in
hotel and restaurant management. In addition to
the hands-on cooking labs,
Hoegh and students have
taken on the additional challenge of cooking competitively in ProStart’s annual
competition. Stakes are
KLJKDVWKHWRSWZRÀQLVKing teams in each category
(cooking and management
are two separate divisions),
will move on to compete at
the national level in Anaheim, California.
Students gathered around
in the cafeteria to watch the
ÀYHFRPSHWLWLYHFRRNLQJVWXdents make dishes most of us
can’t even pronounce. On the
menu was a perfectly-molded
Ahi Tuna Tartare Tower,
Rosewood Kobe pan-seared
%HHIÀOOHWDQGD%XUJXQG\
poached D’Anjou pear. The
team will create this same
meal at their competition and
only have one hour to prepare
it. In their practice runs, from

from a 2-hour preparation all
the way down to the allotted sixty minutes. When the

their hands in the air to signify their completion which was
followed by sincere congratuODWLRQVDQGKLJKÀYHV
The ProStart competition will be held on March
2nd, 2015. While there are a
dozen students enrolled in the
FODVVRQO\ÀYHZLOOSDUWLFLpate in the cooking portion
in Ames. Jason Tello, Jesus
DelValle, Savanah Wadey,
Logan Holm, and Israel Ruiz
will represent Hampton-Dumont in the cooking deveision. Mrs. Hoegh has been
excited for the competition
VLQFHWKH\ÀUVWVWDUWHGPDNLQJ
plans for the menu. “It’s
a Japanese theme,” Hoegh
explains. “The excitement
of preparing ethnic food
that is new to all of us has
been an eye-opening and
unique experience.” Jesus
DelValle will act as the
team’s manager. While he
is not allowed to help the
team with the actual cooking, he will walk around
and direct the chefs where
to go and what to do next.
““You learn how to work
with other people; a lot
of times people you don’t
know very well. It’s been
fun getting to know others.”
The other division
of the competition is the
management portion. In this
phase junior Ciara Spradlin
serves as the manager. The
assistant manager is senior
Alex Baltes. Alex Hert, a
junior, is the executive chef
and Kara Welsher, a senior is an alternate. After
the management group
presents a restaurant idea
complete with design,
menu, and budget, a panel
of judges will challenge
WKHWHDPZLWKVSHFLÀF
questions and problems to
solve.
There are fourteen
schools competing in the
cooking portion. Of the
eight schools in the management division, Hampton-Dumont will be the
smallest school competing
and will go up against both
3A and 4A schools. Hoegh
and her crew feel like they
are ready for the challenge.
Good luck to the ProStart

A CLASS ABOVE THE REST
H-D
Teacher becomes the Iowa FCS Teacher of the Year
When Hampton-
Dumont Family and Consumer Science teacher,
Jane Hoegh, took off for
a culinary training event
in Raleigh, North Carolina last summer, she had
no idea that when she
returned home, she’d be
Iowa’s newest Family and
Consumer Science Teacher
of the Year. It was at the
event where she got the call
notifying her of the award.
Recipients of this award
DUHÀUVWQRPLQDWHGE\
someone who feels they are
deserving. Laura Beaver,
a Family and Consumer
Science teacher in Boone,
and also a student-teacher
of Mrs. Hoegh’s in 2012,
was one person to nominate
Hoegh. Another was Iowa
State University professor of FCS, Lesa Stange.
Hampton-Dumont teacher
(and daughter of Mrs.
Hoegh) Alexis Vosburg was
the third to nominate Mrs.
Hoegh for the award.
H-D junior, Shaylin Beyer,
agrees with the nomination.
“I was very proud of Mrs.
Hoegh when I found out that
she got the award. I have
been in classes of hers and
she always keeps it interesting. We learn everything
from cutting the food safely,
to actually cooking it. In
Child Development, we learn
about caring for children and
doing things the right way.”
Hoegh was able to accept
the award in Cedar Rapids
in July. She says she was
incredibly humbled as there
are so many great FCS teachers in the state. She went on
to explain the goals she has as
a teacher, “I feel like I have
to walk into my classroom, as
I have always felt, to do the
very best job of teaching to
the students.”
In her eighteen years at
H-D, Hoegh has taught thousands of students and instilled
a passion for the cooking
world to many. She began
her days in Hampton as a P.E.
teacher and later crossed into
the FCS world. She’s taught
many classes including:
Foods, Child Development,
and Bulldog Cafe. She’s also
brought new and exciting
programs to our high school.
It was Hoegh who years
ago came up with the idea
for Bulldog Cafe, the class
which opens up their doors
to the community every other
Friday and runs like an actual
restaurant. Congratulations to
Mrs. Hoegh!

“Lost” author to visit Alexander
The author of a new book on
vanished Franklin County towns
will continue her tour of local libraries with a stop in Alexander
next week.
Linda Betsinger McCann will
be speaking on her newest book,
“Lost Franklin & Grundy Counties,” at the Alexander
Library on Thursday,
March 12, at 5:30 p.m.
Everyone is invited and
there is no admission
charge. Linda will have
copies of all her books
available for purchase.
Lost Franklin &
Grundy Counties details
the named locations in
these two counties that
won’t be found on most
maps today. Many older residents
still know or even use these names,
but new people have no idea what
they mean. Have you heard of Maple Grove? This was one of the ¿rst
settlements in the area.
Some of the names were post
of¿ces; 22 post of¿ces in Franklin
County have been lost over time.
Washington and Wynn are examples of post of¿ces that are no
more.
Other lost towns were name
changes, such as Benjamin,
which was the first name of
Hampton. Other times, the town
moved and names
changed, like when
Chapin moved. The
past location became
Old Chapin. Old Chapin had previously been
named Ross and Syracuse.
This is the sixth
book in the “Vanished
Towns of the Cedar
Valley” series. All the
books are published by
Iowan Books. Chickasaw County
is at the publisher, and should be
out by mid-May. Linda is currently
working in Cerro Gordo and Floyd
Counties. She has two other books
published by Iowan Books; “Prohibition in Eastern Iowa” and “The
Cedar Valley Road.”
Old Fashioned
Sing-Along is March 8
The monthly Old Fashioned
Sing-Along will held on March 8
from 4-5 p.m. at Hampton’s historic Windsor Theatre.
Join Dawn Groszkruger, who
will lead a variety of songs, including four new ones: “Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight,” “Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot,” “Blue Skirt
Waltz” and “Yellow Rose of Texas.” New accompanist JoEllen
Ahrens, of Hampton, will join the
group on the piano.
All ages are welcome. There is
no admission charge; however, a
basket for theater donations will be
available. Everyone gets a free bag
of popcorn with their lyric book.
Doors open at 3:30 p.m.
If you have any questions,
please call Dawn at (641) 4258716.

145.01 ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
The Mayor or his/her Designee is responsible
for the enforcement of this chapter
and moved to waive the second and third readings thereof. Menken seconded. Motion carried,
ayes all. Ordinance No. 266 adopted. The Ordinance will go into effect upon its publication in
the Hampton Chronicle.
The Clerk was instructed to send an inquiry
to the owner of the former school building requesting an update on his future intentions for
the building.
Public Works Director, Dennis Burkett, gave
an update on the City’s aging dump trucks, water main projects and the 2015-2016 projected
street work.
There are no new updates at this time involving
the Dumont Historical Society.
The Council does not wish to obtain a city website at this time.
A motion was made by Showalter to approve
the tax abatements for 517 Second Street, 917
W. Broadway Street, 408 Cedar Street and 402
First Street. Shear seconded. Motion carried,
ayes all.
The Council considered the legitimate complaints of a slaughtered animal hanging from a
tree in open view within a residential area. The
¿rst reading of a new ordinance restricting this
practice will be placed on our March 12, 2015
agenda.
Baldwin moved to abate all the miscellaneous
charges the City assessed to the property at
502 Third Street. Reysack seconded. Motion
carried, ayes all.
Mayor Mouw gave a brief overview on the
meetings he has attended for the City.

of conducting an energy audit. The Clerk was
instructed to check into the energy audit.
Dennis Burkett asked permission to renovate
the Park and Rec building by applying a fresh
coat of paint and adding paneling to the bottom
half of the walls. The Council all agreed to this
project.
As of today, we have not heard the result of
the hearing on February 9, 2015 to declare 502
Third Street abandoned. The Council felt there
would be a positive outcome.
The City proved its case at the municipal infraction hearing regarding 615 Elm Street held
January 3, 2015. The Defendant was assessed
a civil penalty of $750.00 plus costs with an appeal bond set at $850.00.

HAS YOUR CORN FARM
LOST MONEY?
Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO
seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S.
corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports,
the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers
across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

HAMPTON – The Hampton-Dumont Color Dash is scheduled for
Saturday, April 18 starting and
ending at Hampton-Dumont High
School.
All proceeds for the Color Dash

the race. There is a discount for families who are participating.
Packet pick-up for the race begins

of the race. “We encourage you to
get your family and friends together,
or dash on your own, and enjoy this
amazing event to help a great cause.”

West Fork ends season

Two Warhawks
unanimous
picks on all-CBC
girls’ team
SHEFFIELD – Winning the Corn
Bowl Conference title outright has
its perks.
The Warhawks placed two on the
¿rst team all-conference squad, announced last week after the season
was completed, both of which were
unanimous selections by conference
coaches.
West Fork seniors Courtney Larson and Sydney Shreckengost were
among the four unanimous picks after leading their team to a 13-1 conference record, losing its only game
in the season ¿nale after the title had
already been clinched.
Larson led the conference in assists with 104 and was second in the
Corn Bowl in steals with 90. She was
also among the top-¿ve in the CBC
in scoring at 12.9 points per game.
Sydney Shreckengost, meanwhile, was among the top-10 in conference scoring at 11.2 ppg, as well
as rebounds, ¿nishing with 131 for
an average of 6.2 boards per game.
She also tallied 40 assists, 80 steals
and ¿ve blocks.
Coach Rodney Huber’s team,
which lost in the Class 2A regional
semifinal against Manson Northwest Webster, also earned a pair of
second-teamers in senior Madison
Shreckengost (9.1 ppg) and sophomore Kaitlyn Liekweg (6.3 ppg).
Both were impact players during
conference play, helping to lead the
Warhawks to the ¿nal Corn Bowl title in the conference’s history.
West Fork also had an honorable
mention selection in senior starter
Mickee Guritz to round out the Warhawks’ all-conference recognition.

MASON CITY – Some players
have a way of taking a game over.
From the moment that Forest City
senior Erich Erdman hit a ridiculously long three-pointer to end the ¿rst
quarter, West Fork never led after
in an eventual 60-57 season-ending
loss in the Class 2A District 4 ¿nal at
Mason City High School on Tuesday,
Feb. 24.
Erdman, who also had a terrific
game against the Warhawks in the
post-season two years ago, ¿nished
with 33 points, finding a way to
keep it out of reach for coach Frank
Schnoes’ team.
“Erdman had 33 points, but I
think we did a nice job on him, really,” Schnoes said. “More importantly, we did a really good job on all of
the other guys. Everybody else really
stepped up and had a big game. As
long as we could contain Erdman the
best we could and everybody else
stepped up, we felt we had a shot to
win the game and we did right down
to the end.”
Nothing was decided however,
until the ¿nal seconds when the Indian defense poked the ball away
from senior guard Drew Engebretson, and the Warhawks were actually fortunate to pick up the ball and
make a one last-gasp effort for a long
game-tying three by Reese Halloran
that was off the mark.
“They were aggressive enough
defensively to knock the ball loose a
little bit, so we didn’t get a clean shot
at it,” Schnoes said of the ¿nal seven-second series. “We had the ball in
our hands with a chance to tie, so we
were hoping to get that done.”
West Fork trailed by seven with
as much as 1:32 left, but got a surge
from Drew Engebretson, who finished with 12 points, seven of which
came in the ¿nal eight minutes. He
hit a three-pointer right out of a timeout at 1:16, nailed a pair of free
throws after a turnover to make it 5553 at 0:38.7 and many in the crowd
believed he’d gotten a basket-andone with 20.8 seconds remaining.
However, the basket was waved
off and he was sent to the line for
two. Engebretson was 8-of-8 at the
free throw line.
“It was a well-played game,”
Schnoes said. “I think we controlled
the tempo of the game, which I
thought we needed to do to win. We
missed some three-point shots. We
knew they would try to deny on the
inside. I think we got the ball inside
enough, just needed to make an extra
three-pointer here or there.
“(It was) one of those games that
go down to the end. I think if we had
the lead late we would have been in
the driver’s seat. Unfortunately, we
didn’t have the lead late. They got
the free throw shooting that put it
away for them.”
Erich Erdman actually missed
a free throw with 0:18.3 left on the
clock that kept the Warhawks within
striking distance that set up Engebretson’s free throws, but after the
foul shots, a foul was called on West
Fork without any time coming off of
the clock and Jake Parks sank both to
provide the ¿nal difference.
“We just wanted to stay focused,
we needed to make a play,” Schnoes
said. “Against Forest City it is tough
because they can shoot the free
throws so well. We tried to be selective and fouled the right guy, kudos
to (No.) 52 (Jake Parks) for making
the free throws.”
Forest City coach Dan Rosacker added, “I told the guys before we
could have won a lot of different
ways…it wasn’t the way I’d envisioned, but I’m glad for Jake (Parks).
He’s a good kid and worked so hard.
He’s a consummate role player and
stepped up and got us a district title
with those two free throws.”
When it came down to it, the
three-year starters for Forest City had
an edge in likely one of the toughest
2A districts in the state.

“They are as good a program and
well-coached as anyone in the area,”
Rosacker said of West Fork. “Two
very good programs going and you
know, unfortunately someone had to
lose. They had a great run and a great
team and I still think they are a very
good team even though they are not
going on. A very good team.”
Schnoes added, “I’m just really
proud of the effort we did, two good
ball clubs, unfortunately, we were
on the short end of it, but kudos to
Forest City, those guys are three-year
starters, they had the experience for
down the stretch.
“We have a lot of
new faces, our starters weren’t playing
two years ago, and four
of their starters were.
We’ve had different
kids step up and fill in,
they’ve had a nice class,
make us competitive. We
only have four losses, four
to state ranked teams and
I’m assuming three of them
are probably going to state this
year. So, I feel like we are one
of the best teams in the state
who lost tonight.”
The Warhawks graduate 10 seniors, half of
which saw the court

“I’m real proud
of them, the kids
came to practice and worked hard
and were very coachable kids,”
Schnoes said. “We had three starters
that graduated last year, so we had
other guys step up and ¿lled in for
them and they did a nice job. I’m as
proud of this team as I was any other
one.
“It was just one of those nights
that we came up a little bit short, but
we lost to a good ball club. I would
have felt bad if we’d been the superior team and not played well. I’m happy with our performance and effort.
It was an outstanding season.”

When pressed a little more, Jacobson added, “Regardless of group,
individuals that make up the senior
class, what I like about what we’ve
got going is our program has gotten
ahead of anybody individually and it
has gotten that way with every group
of seniors that has gone through our
program for a long time; (we) hold
that up as a tradition, is important
what we do going forward and I appreciate that from those guys.”
During the game, it was the third
straight for the senior from Shef¿eld
a team had devised a specialized defense working against him. Despite
that, he ¿nished with 10 points, eight
rebounds and three assists.
“We have three wins, to me, that’s
the most important thing,” Tuttle
said. “At times, that Bradley game
was a little bit different. But at the
end of the day, when we get a ‘W’ in
the column, that is the only thing that
matters moving forward.
“People are going to throw different defenses against myself and
guard Matt Bohannon differently,
they changed up how they screen the
guards. It’s one of those things where
you pick your poison.”
Fellow senior guard Deon Mitchell added, “They were doubling on

Jacobson said that Tuttle knows
what to expect and is a good enough
player to handle the specialization.
“We’re late enough in the year

Seth has seen a lot of things and he
continues to be unsel¿sh,” Jacobson

know he’s got con¿dence in the guys
around him. We’re going to see some
more stuff, but he’s ready for it.”

he’s such an unsel¿sh player,” Simmons said, “and at times I thought we
did a pretty good job and other times,
we had some breakdowns, but he is
as dif¿cult a guy to defend as anybody in the league. He takes a lot of
attention.”

Amy Tesar, DO,
receives Obesity
Medicine
Certi¿cation
Amy Tesar, DO, of Iowa Specialty Hospital, has been certi¿ ed
by the American Board of Obesity
Medicine (ABOM) as a diplomat.
ABOM Diplomats are specialists
in obesity medicine who undergo
rigorous training and an extensive
examination process to achieve this
designation. This designation represents the highest level of achievement in the medical specialty of
obesity medicine.
The ABOM serves the public
and the field of obesity medicine
by establishing a credentialing protocol and maintaining standards for
assessment and certi¿cation of candidate physicians. Certification as
a Diplomat of the ABOM signifies
excellence in the practice of obesity
medicine and distinguishes a physician as having achieved a high level
of competency and understanding
in obesity care. ABOM collaborates
with the National Board of Medical
Examiners (NBME) to administer
the annual credentialing exam.
Dr. Tesar currently provides supervision of Iowa Specialty Hospital’s Medical Weight Loss Program
at their Belmond campus. As a part of
the program, she works closely with
patients to treat medical conditions
such as diabetes, hypertension, high
cholesterol, heart disease and other
conditions linked to excess weight.
Research shows that losing just 10
percent of a person’s excess weight
can help improve not just quantity
but quality of life, and reduce the
incidence of these diseases and the
number of medications required.
In 1997, Dr. Tesar received her
Master of Science in Neuroscience
from Iowa State University, and her
Doctorate in 2002 from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and
Health Sciences in Des Moines. She
completed her residency in 2005 at
Iowa Methodist in Des Moines. Dr.
Tesar now adds ABOM Diplomate to
her accreditations.

With 1,600 acres in the northeast
portion of the Las Vegas Valley,
the “Diamond in the Desert”
has been deemed the most
remarkable race complex in
the world. Sports Illustrated
called it the Racing Capital of the West. With more
than a dozen different venues at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway, ranging from go-karts to NASCAR
Sprint Cup at the 1.5-mile superspeedway, there’s
something for everyone at the complex. Last year’s
winner of the Kobalt 400 was Brad Keselowski. In
that race, Keselowski set a new track race record
of 155 mph. Jimmie Johnson has four wins at this
track, the most of any Cup driver.

Chevrolet Sprint Cup and trailer

Friday on their way to Atlanta
Motor Speedway. On Saturday,
the car was recovered along a remote road in
suburban Atlanta, apparently abandoned by
the thieves who stole it. The discovery didn’t
occur in time for Team XTREME to compete
in the race. The No. 44 car wasn’t damaged,
so it should be able to run at Las Vegas with
Kvapil behind the wheel. The team also plans
to send a backup car.

Coors Light Pole-sitter Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick
dominated the early and middle stages of Sunday’s Folds of
Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Then, came
Jimmie Johnson. He took the lead on Lap 198 of 325. From
then on, his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was
the class of the field, leading six times for 92 laps. Jimmie
won for the fourth time at Atlanta and for the 71st time in his
career. For the second straight event in NASCAR’s premier
series, Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second and
third. After Johnson took the top spot, a massive wreck in
Turn 3 on the restart lap slowed the field for the 10th time.
After the race Johnson said, “I think it is pretty much a lock,
as long as we have a smooth season.”

hours in the forge, a fully-equipped
blacksmith shop on 20 private acres
in Franklin County.
Tiso says blacksmithing is an art
form in terms of the fabrication and
sculpting that’s required. It’s also a
craft that people of all ages can do for
the rest of their lives.
After retiring from Wall Street
seven years ago, Tiso and his wife
moved back to Iowa Falls, her hometown. He says eventually they plan
to build a home on the 20 acres in
Geneva, but his ¿rst priority was to
get the blacksmith shop restored and
fully operational.

Iowa Valley Continuing Education
at 1-800-284-4823. Class size is
