City council
discusses
snowmobiles,
impoundment
issues at
workshop
By Jeff Forward
The Hampton City Council
had a somewhat meaty workshop agenda on Monday evening, with seven items up for
discussion including the city’s
policy on snowmobiles in
town, options for impounding
vehicles for traffic violations
and a dog swimming day at
the city aquatic center.
Although it came at the end
of the meeting, the four council members present – Jim
Davies and Steve Harms were
not in attendance - and several
people in the audience shared
empassioned views on the issue of snowmobiles in town.
The discussion of snowmobiles in town began several weeks ago when citizen
Shirley Smith complained to
the council about snowmobile
riders damaging her property.
Mayor Shawn Dietz asked
city officials to meet with interested parties to develop a
game plan for snowmobiles in
the city.
On Monday, Police Chief
Bob Schaefer told the council
that he does not want an outright ban on snowmobiles in
town, but is in favor of limiting the areas where they can
operate.
“My initial thought is not
to have snowmobiles on city
streets,” Schaefer said. “It’s
just tough to go in and enforce, that’s why my initial
reaction was not to have them
in city limits.”
After several minutes of
discussion, the council decided they would examine the
issue further into the winter
season in the event problems
arose.
City council members also
heard from City Attorney Michael Cross about possible
options to impound vehicles
for traffic offenses.
Cross told the council
members that various state
and federal laws prohibited
or limited the ability of a city
to impound personal vehicles
except in certain situations.
“There isn’t anything that
allows a city to impound vehicles,” Cross said, noting
state laws covered the issue.
“We don’t have that authority.
The city doesn’t have that authority.”
Cross said technically, city
police can impound a vehicle
of a driver who has no proof
of insurance, however the
logistics of impounding vehicles – including a variety of
factors that make it very hard
on a small police department
– almost make it prohibitive.
Schaefer said that his staff
– already short of an officer
– would have to spend excessive time doing impoundment
paperwork, waiting for a tow
truck and then the city would

Plethora of activities for all ages at this weekend’s Summerfest
By Jeff Forward
The last big community event
of the summer is being held this
weekend, as the annual Summerfest
takes over Band Shell Park on Friday
and Saturday with tons of activities
for all ages.
“This is our 16th annual event.
We’re actually adding a little kicker
this year,” said Hope Polk, from the
Greater Franklin County Chamber
of Commerce, which is putting
on the event. “It’s the first year of
the beer garden at Summerfest, on
Friday night.”
Polk said the two-day event will
feature “adult-friendly” events and
entertainment on Friday night before
switching to a child and familythemed day on Saturday.
“At Summerfest, the community
all comes up,” Polk said. “It’s kind
of like a last hurrah before school
starts.”
Festivities begin on Friday at 5
p.m., when the beer garden and food
vendors begin service. This year’s
beer garden is sponsored and run by
D.T.’s Roadhouse of Dumont.
The popular cover band,
Standing Hampton, will be the main
entertainment for Friday night. The
band takes the stage at 8 p.m. and
will play until midnight. Opening
for Standing Hampton will be Jesse
Allen Steward, at 5:30 p.m.
“It’s going to take up most of
the (Band Shell) park,” Polk said of
Friday night’s beer garden. “So, if
you want to see Standing Hampton
or Jesse Allen Steward, you’re going
to have to be inside the beer garden.”
Friday night will also feature
the wildly popular 60-mile classic
car cruise through Franklin County.
Car enthusiasts going on the cruise
need to be at the Hampton-Dumont
Community High School parking lot
at 6 p.m.; the cruise will depart the
high school at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday, Polk said, is more of a
family and child-friendly day. There
will not be a beer garden on Saturday
and instead, Band Shell Park will be
filled with a classic car show, kids
games, the same food vendors, and
concerts by three different artists.
The days activities begin at 9 a.m.
with the classic car show, which will
run until noon. At around noon,
the KLMJ/KQCR Antique Tractor
Parade is expected to wind into
Hampton after beginning in Bristow
earlier that morning.
From noon until 3:30 p.m., the
Whitesidewalls – a 1950s’ and
1960s’ tribute group – will rock the
park with oldie tunes. At 6:15 p.m.,
Morgan Alexander will take the
stage – opening for headliner

Members of the Hampton Fire Department did a controlled burn of an abandoned home on July 29 at 400 First St. SW. Photos by Jeff Forward, Hampton Chronicle.
Intentional burning down of house a win-win for city
By Jeff Forward
A large crowd of fascinated
Hampton residents gathered on July
29 in the south part of the city to
watch local firefighters burn down
an abandoned house as part of a
training exercise.
The controlled burn fire was conducted by members of the Hampton
Fire Department at an abandoned
house in the 400 block of First Street
Southwest.
The fire served two purposes for
the city – as a training exercise on
a live fire for members of the fire
department but also as a way for the
city to destroy an “eye-sore” condemned property it had taken possession of.
“It’s probably about the best
training you can get because it’s a
real, live fire,” said Hampton Fire
Chief Kent Wilkinson. “We get the
older guys showing the younger
guys what to do; it’s a lot of good
training.”
Wilkinson said fires such as the
one on July 29 allow his firefighters to practice important techniques
such as rescue in a burning structure,
Local experts cautiously optimistic for a decent harvest
By Nick Pedley
Crops throughout Franklin and
southern Cerro Gordo County are
still playing catch-up following this
spring’s heavy precipitation and late
planting season.
Local agriculture experts stressed
the need for dry weather and warm
temperatures
throughout
the
month of August. Keith Pillatzki,
agronomist at Agvantage’s Franklin
County locations, said rainfall in
May and June set up area corn and
soybean plants for decent fall yields
so long as precipitation stays at bay
this month. Though many fields
were planted late, Pillatzki felt most
area crops were still on pace for a
relatively productive harvest.
“Most crops are progressing nicely.
The late corn is doing the best it can.
It’s playing catch-up right now, but
some of it’s starting to tassel,” he said.
Pillatzki estimated that only 5
percent of the Franklin County’s
crop was in excellent condition. The
large majority—60 percent or so—is
average to slightly below average, he
said. The rest, however, was below
that. He felt 25 percent was well
under average for this time of the
growing season with the remaining
10 percent in very poor condition.
“That’s not in any individual
township. It’s pretty generalized
throughout the county because of
the late crop,” said Pillatzki.
Heavy spring rain is the culprit
behind another issue afflicting local
corn and soybeans. According to
Mark Bausch, agronomist at North
Corn Crops: See Page 3
use of power saws and tools, and fire
truck set-up and correct usage of water hoses to battle a residential blaze.
“We send the guys in there with
their airpacks on and the thermal imaging,” Wilkinson added. “We have
one of the firemen go in there and
hide in the fire and we find him and
drag him out.”
Wilkinson said about 20 of the
department’s 23 volunteer firefighters took part in the practice burn.
The fire was started at about 6 p.m.
and the whole exercise was completed by about 8:15 p.m.
“They get to see how everything
goes and how fast it burns,” Wilkinson added. “Plus we have to run the
trucks and the hoses and water.”

County, city officials to meet, discuss
dispatch services Council, and the county Emergency
By Jeff Forward
The ongoing saga of the fate
of four city-employed emergency
dispatchers continues this week
when officials and attorneys from
both the City of Hampton and
Franklin County are scheduled
to meet to try to hash out their
differences.
Representatives
from
the
Franklin County Board of
Supervisors, the Hampton City
Management Commission were
scheduled to meet with attorneys
for all parties at 7 p.m. on Aug.
6 in the Law Enforcment Center
conference room to discuss the
issue of dispatchers.
Hampton City Manager Ron
Dunt said city officials wanted the
meeting in order to “expedite the
process” and bring clarity to the
issue with everyone’s attorneys be

department gets training.”
Dunt said that the burning of the
home was approved by the Hampton City Council. The property was a
foreclosed home and the city pursued
ownership under Chapter 657 (a) of
the Iowa Code, which allows for abandoned properties to be acquired by local cities.
With an estimated 20 to 30 homes
in similar condition, Dunt said he’d be
happy to be able to burn all of them to
the ground.
“It’d be nice in a fantasy world to
burn down all these down,” Dunt said.
“Put in nice lawns and sell them. But
in reality, it takes money. It costs money and it takes money away from the
(city’s) general fund. You have to do
them as you can afford it.”
“We’d love to do what we can to
remove these problem properties, but
it does cost money,” Dunt added. “We
just can’t afford to acquire these properties.”

Bradley Waddle, the manager of

Waddle seemed sour on the idea,

an event would occur, he would

would not allow members of his
lifeguard staff to rescue a dog in
distress.
“There is going to be some issues

unevenness amongst crops is
common throughout much of the

Bausch said he felt area corn

considering the turbulent weather,
but remained tentatively hopeful
about harvest predictions.
“I’ve never seen anything like this
year—even older farmers have been
saying that. The late planting was
just so wide-spread everywhere,” he
said. “I think the early-planted crops
could produce 180-bushel (per acre)
corn and between 45-50 bushels (per

is really up in the air.”

95-98 percent of the crop around the

to the Minnesota border and my
area is the one that got their crop in

He said most all of the corn
is tasseled and felt that corn and
soybeans were only one to two
weeks behind where they should be
at this time of the year.
“Even though corn is behind,
it will push itself to get where it
needs to be. We saw that in July
after it dried up. It’s versatile, where
soybeans aren’t so much,” he said.

A Hampton man who was arrested in May on allegations of sexual
abuse and burglary was found not
guilty of all charges on Aug. 1 following a two-day jury trial.
Isidro Lopez Lopez, originally arrested by Hampton Police on
May 15 and who had been incarcerated in the Hardin County Jail,
was found innocent of all charges
said his attorney, James Larsen of
Iowa Falls.
“A jury trial was held,” Larsen said. “The jury, after deliberations, found him not guilty of all
charges.”
Larsen said the trial began on
July 30 in Franklin County District
Court and included testimony from
the alleged victim as well as Lopez

The jury came to their verdict

COMMENTARY/COMMERCE
Pedley’s Ponderings
Under the Golden Dome, Too
by Nick Pedley
by Linda Upmeyer
Hittin’ the road back home
Last weekend provided me the
opportunity to make the trip back
home to my old stomping grounds in
northwest Iowa.
It’s always great to get away for
a few days and reset the senses.
It seemed like quite a few folks
skipped town recently for summer
YDFDWLRQV VR , ÀJXUHG , KDG EHWWHU
join them. My hometown is a threehour drive from here, so it wasn’t
such a monumental expedition like
some get-aways.
I can’t think of a time in which
I’ve gone home with no expectation
of accomplishing something. When
I was in school, I always brought
some homework with me. Last
week, I planned on writing a couple
articles in my down time. Despite
these productive intentions, I can’t
think of a time in which I’ve actually
accomplished what I set out to do
while at home.
I’m not griping, however. This
weekend particularly stood out from
past visits. The weather was beautiful
and I was able to spend considerable
time with my niece and nephew.
Being away for four years really cut
into my “uncle duties,” so to speak.
There were many moments where
I found myself thinking, “They’re
growing up so fast…” Even so, I
had lots of fun running around and
playing with them.
I’m still a young guy by most
standards, but I still don’t have half
the energy that these two whippersnappers possess. My four-year-old
nephew was running circles around
me all day and I’m not sure how
he was still going at nine o’clock
that evening. My mom asked him
if he wanted a nap following lunch
that afternoon, but he was resilient.
That’s more than you can say about
me. I was more than ready for
naptime.
I was able to take him out to a
local pond and check out all the frogs
that lined the shore. Many had just
grown their land legs, so walking
alongside the water was quite a
spectacle. Dozens of those slippery
devils were leaping into the water all
around us. It was funny to watch my
nephew trying to keep up with all of
them. I was able to catch a couple so
he could inspect the peculiar critters,
but the frogs were always one step
ahead of him. Maybe he’ll have his
frog-catching skills honed by next
year. I think they usually come fullFLUFOHDURXQGDJHÀYHDQ\ZD\
He was too shy to show me his
new skill of riding a two-wheeled
bike. However, we had fun playing
baseball
in
the backyard.
I
don’t
particularly
remember
whether
or
not I had any
skill in the
sport at his
age. However,
he
seems
pretty adept at
throwing and
hitting already.
That is to say, throwing and hitting
the ball at his uncle.
I spent a majority of the time
dodging and ducking line drives
smacked directly up the middle.
Such a talent is great, but it’s a rather
nerve-wracking situation when
you’re on the receiving end. I never
knew plastic softballs could sting so
much. I think I still have a few red
marks on my legs and back.
My two-year-old niece was also
quite the character during my short
visit. She has to keep up with her
brother after all, and she certainly
holds her own. She’s already an
expert at instigating trouble and
getting the blame thrown onto him.
,W·VKDUGWRVWD\PDGZKHQVKHÁDVKHV
her big blue eyes in your direction.
She’s learning to master the “big
girl potty,” and she’s coming along
MXVWÀQH6KHZDVERLVWHURXVO\SURXG
to proclaim to the entire family that
she was wearing, “Panties!” on
Saturday evening, however, she’s
not perfect. After using the toilet
by herself and not telling anyone, I
found her heading to the backyard
without any pants on. They were
turned inside out, and she needed her
mom’s assistance and an apparent
blast of fresh air.
It was great to get back home,
even if it was only for two days. I
got to see friends, family and other
folks I hadn’t visited in a while.
Hopefully I’ll be able to make more
trips now that I live closer than I
did before, but sometimes it’s hard
to get away from busy schedules
and other things. They say distance
makes the heart grow fonder, and I
can certainly say that’s been true for
me over the past few years.
Fiscal discipline, restraint still in the plans
By Linda Upmeyer
It has been an exciting couple of
weeks for high school softball and
baseball, as state tournament time
has arrived. I have been keeping a
close eye on all of our teams and
am so proud of our student athletes.
Their passion and dedication to their
respective sport during these hot
summer months is truly admirable.
There have been some nail biters, many victories, and some heartbreakers, but without a doubt a great
deal of excitement and entertainment overall! Thank you to all of our
student athletes and coaches for your
hard work and enthusiasm!
Since coming into the Majority in
the House in January 2011, we have

promote a stronger Iowa- one that is
prepared for unexpected emergenFLHVRQHWKDWLVLQDVWURQJ¿QDQFLDO
position to pay our bills, and one that
can return taxpayer dollars back to
hardworking Iowans.

Jerry writes: “I don’t remember if I mentioned we bought a used camper
last fall. When we got it, we knew it had some issues with water damage.
8SRQIXUWKHUH[DPLQDWLRQWKHUHZDVPXFKPRUHGDPDJHWKDQÀUVWDSSHDUHG
What we saw on the surface did not prepare us for the internal damage that
had been done. I had planned to do the work myself, but we decided to take
it to the camper repair place. They are doing a great job of restoring our
“bargain” to usable condition.”

Jerry continued, “In a spiritual sense, sin has the same effect on our
lives as the water did that crept into the walls of our camper. Whether it is
jealousy, envy, anger, bitterness, immorality, profanity, or any number of
things I could mention, it starts out small and seemingly harmless. It then
begins to spread until it takes over completely. There is no way we can get
rid of it without help. The only one who can bring about restoration of the
soul contaminated by sin is the Lord Jesus Christ. “Jesus Christ, who gave
himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify himself a
people that are his very own, eager to do what is good” (Titus 2:14).
If someone had taken steps to prevent the water from entering the camper
walls, much damage could have been prevented. We, as Christians, also need
to take preventive measures against sin creeping into our lives. Here are
a few suggestions from Scripture: Flee from evil desires (2 Timothy 2:22).
Resist the devil (1 Peter 5:8-9). Keep away from temptation (Galatians 6:1).
Be in prayer (Mark 14:38).
$QGLIZHÀQGWKDWVLQKDVFUHSWLQWRRXUOLIHKHUHLVWKHUHPHG\´,IZH
confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify
us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Faith in Christ is the remedy for
removing the stain and guilt of sin in our lives. There is no other.

A $1000 grant has been awarded to Franklin County Extension to implement Together for a Better Education (Juntos Para Una Mejor Educación) in Hampton.
This six (6) session workshop series brings together Latino parents
and youth, school staff, and community partners to promote high school
graduation among Latino youth and explore possible paths to higher education. Juntos helps parents and youth gain knowledge, skills and resources to prevent 8-12th grade students from dropping out of school and
to encourage families to work together to gain access to college.
Grants were awarded to Franklin County, Wright County, Marshall

Blossom-end rot is probably responsible for the blackish spots on the tomato fruit. Blossom-end rot is a common problem on tomatoes. It appears as
a brownish black spot on the blossom-end (bottom) of the fruit. Secondary
organisms invade the brownish black spot and cause the fruit to rot. Blossom-end rot is most common on the earliest maturing fruit that ripen in July
and early August.

system of the tomato plant. Excessive nitrogen fertilization also may contribute to blossom end rot.
To reduce blossom-end rot, water tomato plants on a weekly basis during
dry weather to provide a consistent supply of moisture to the plants (tomato plants require about 1 to 1½ inches of water per week during the growing season). Mulch the area around tomato plants to conserve soil moisture.
Avoid over-fertilization. There is no need to apply calcium to the soil, as
most Iowa soils contain more than adequate levels of calcium.

To avoid harming bees and other pollinators, apply insecticides in the garden

Blossom-end rot is a physiological disorder that occurs on tomato, pepper,
eggplant and summer squash. On zucchini and other summer squash, the
blossom end of the fruit begins to rot and within a short time the entire fruit
has rotted. Blossom-end rot is caused by a lack of calcium in the developing
fruit. In most cases, there is no need to apply calcium to the soil. Try to maintain an even moisture supply by watering once a week during dry weather.
Also, do not over-fertilize plants. Uneven moisture supplies and excessive
nitrogen inhibit calcium uptake.

Watkins Glen International is a 2.45 mile
road course located near Watkins Glen,
New York, at the south end of Seneca
Lake. With its rise from ragged infancy
in 1948 to its position as America’s premier racing
facility, the Glen is an astounding success story
which continues sixty five years later. In addition to
holding major NASCAR and SCCA events, Watkins
Glen also hosts one of the nation’s premier vintage
events, the Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix. Current
points leader, Jimmie Johnson, finished second
in last year’s race. Last weekend’s winner, Kasey
Kahne, finished 13th.

announced an expansive
10-year media partnership
with NBC Sports Group that
will begin in 2015. The deal
takes over for ESPN and ABC, which had the
rights to most of the late-season NASCAR
races. NBC will air seven Sprint Cup races per
season beginning in 2015, and it has already
been hinted that those races will air on football
Sundays. They also won the rights to the second
half of the Nationwide Series season and NBC
will air four of those races per year. NBC Sports
Network will air the other 13 Sprint Cup races
and 15 Nationwide Series races per season.

Taking advantage of a caution, Kasey Kahne buried his
car into Turn 1 with two laps left and grabbed a win from
Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon in Sunday’s
GoBowling.com 400 atPocono Raceway. Kahne picked
up his second victory of the season, all but assuring a
berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. It was his
second at Pocono and the 16th of his career. Gordon ran
second, 1.392 seconds behind his teammate, followed by
Kurt Busch. Kahne gained one position to eighth in the
Cup standings. The second victory gives him a substantial
degree of comfort, given that no driver in contention for a
Wild Card spot has more than one victory.

The city and county had seemingly had an agreement earlier in
the spring to join forces on the dispatching front – currently operated
out of the Hampton Police station
– but a dispute about the hiring and

dispatch center led to an agreement
being called off.
Because the new dispatch center
would be housed in the county Law
Enforcement Center and the dispatchers would be employees of the
Emergency Management Commission – which is funded by the county – they would become county employees instead of city employees.
2I¿FLDOVIURPWKHFLW\RI+DPSton and members of the Hampton
City Council wanted the four city
dispatchers to merely transfer from
their jobs at the city directly to coun-
ty employment with their seniority
in place as far as salary, vacation
WLPHDQGEHQH¿WV
That is where the discussions
stalled, as members of the Franklin County Board of Supervisors
were unwilling to guarantee hiring
of the four. Instead, the supervisors
claimed they needed to follow state
law regarding hiring practices and
advertise the new positions, hold
interviews, and hire the best candidates. Supervisors were also not
willing – if they did hire a city dispatcher – to transfer their seniority in

These decisions seemingly irritated many members of the Hampton

large pine tree at Mickie Eckhardt and Les Yaw’s farm south of
Chapin. Mickie was unsure of an exact age, but guessed the tree
might be upwards of 100 years old. Powerful northwest winds
during last Thursday’s storm were to blame for the destruction.
