Nick Wilson comprise this year’s ballot and hope to earn the seat being vacated by outgoing Mayor Jim Saylor, who isn’t seeking re-election The questions were listed as follows: 1. Provide information on your background—how long you’ve lived in the community, family, current job, etc.

2. Have you ever held elected office or been involved with any type of committee or board?

3. In your opinion, what are the main issues facing the community?

Sheri Bogue

1. I have been a resident of Sheffield since the end of May 1993, and in my current residence since the fall of 1995. I have one son, Tony, and two grandchildren, Emma and Austin. I am currently employed at Jon’s Auto & Truck Repair in Sheffield.

2. I have not held an elected office. I have been involved in many local and county organizations such as Sheffield Community Club and Sheffield Betterment Foundation where I have served in several officer positions; Relay For Life of Franklin County where I have been the event chair for the past five years, Franklin County Tourism and Franklin County Charitable Foundation.

3. We need to make sure that we are working towards fixing our infrastructure so that we do not have preventable problems with flooding in the future.

I feel strongly that there is lack of trust between the mayor, city council and our residents. This is something that can be restored and have cohesiveness among the mayor, the city council and the commuBOGUE to page 7

Dennis Kingery

1. I am 53 years old and have lived in Sheffield for almost 20 years. Jeannie and I are the parents of five children and we also have three grandchildren. I work for Securitas Security Services at Armour-Eckrich in Mason City as the head of security.

2. When I lived in Mason City I served six years on the Mason City Park and Recreation board. I have also served two terms as mayor of Sheffield.

3. The main issue is city finances. Recently the city council hired an accounting firm to fix city finances.

If elected I would discuss with the new council about restructuring the city clerk office. I would like to see an emphasis on the city clerk side and finance side.

With a city clerk and a finance officer duties would be segregated creating specialization, efficiency and accountability. We have to become better stewards of taxpayers’ money.

4. Experience and hard work are the attributes and skills that I would bring to the mayor’s office. Having served two terms as mayor I know what to expect and KINGERY to page 7

The arrival of the replica of the USS Leahy was a long-time coming and was delayed a bit longer due to the government shutdown. (Photos by Jeff Forward, Hampton Chronicle)

Leahy replica ship arrives, is put into case at county museum

By Jeff Forward The long-awaited delivery of a replica ship named after Hampton-native and pioneering military hero Admiral William D. Leahy arrived last week and was put into place at the Franklin County Historical Museum.

The replica ship – 1/48th scale of the real USS Leahy – is the centerpiece of the Admiral William D. Leahy Exhibit in the Franklin County Historical Society Museum at the Franklin County Fairgrounds. The exhibit also includes several historical items such as Leahy’s desk from his days working in the White House, his Navy uniform and a Four-Star Commander flag.

Steve Deike, who is involved in the Leahy Memorial Committee – the group constructing the exhibit – said it was awesome to finally have the replica ship on hand and in the museum. “It’s been a 22-month process,� Deike said of the overall exhibit time frame.

The replica ship – which had been housed in West Bethesda, Md. – finally arrived on Oct. 23 in Hampton after months-long delay. The exhibit committee, Deike said, had expected to possibly get possession of the ship in the summer prior to the Franklin County Fair. However, Navy and government red tape delayed the delivery until now.

Last Wednesday, the replica ship arrived in a large semi-truck and was carefully unloaded by

a group of volunteers from the committee, including Deike, Joe Pitsor, and Mark Laipple. The trio was joined by Brian Potter, who works with the Curator of Navy Model Ships. Potter accompanied the replica

ship to Hampton and cleaned it meticulously with an air hose before it was finally placed into its glass case.

The replica ship will remain in Hampton indefiniteLEAHY to page 7

Legislatvie session wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convene until January, interim committees busy preparing Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe we have already experienced our first snow of the season. This fall has seemed to fly by, and with November right around the corner, winter will be arriving sooner than some of us would like to acknowledge!

While the legislative session wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually convene until January, legislators assigned to various interim committees have been meeting at the Capitol in preparation for the 2014 legislative session.

One such group, the State Government Efficiency Review Com-

mittee, met earlier this month to examine the findings of a report published by the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency (LSA), regarding the amount of money state agencies have spent on membership dues paid to different organizations.

It appears the findings of the report merit further discussion about the best use of taxpayer dollars in relation to these membership dues.

The report shows that the state has spent over $2 million in organizational dues in each of the past

-XVW 7DONLQ¡ %\ - = I have no choice but to make this quick this week! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I was supposed to be writing it when I was back running a press!

(I have a one track mind, and those envelopes seemed to have priority!) Not so! A call from friend who makes up the paper and she gave me a gentle reminder. Got a lot of printing done the past week after the paper was out . . . even though I did take Friday off for a day of vacation. Anyway . . . things are going fine here at the office. Makes one wonder when something is going to break down, etc. There goes that pessimistic thinking again!

Home . . . Finally got all the parts to make the convertible top go up and down by itself once again.

Now to get the car and parts to Mason City to get them installed. I realize that I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it until spring . . . but once again the patience that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have shows up! I prefer to have it done now! Took Friday off and went to Altoona to spend the day with Angela. We chose that day for our annual Christmas shopping excursion. Had a great time just the two of us . . . and got a lot of shop-

ping done. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m broke . . . again! I heard someone say one time that they started out with nothing and had most of it left! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me! In the middle of the afternoon we got Little Lid from daycare and spent some time with her. Nic had been out east during the week and arrived home about the same time we did. I forgot to take my usual bribe of candy for Lidia . . . but apparently she forgot, too! Angela showed me the cupboard where she keeps the candy that I take. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to find something else to take there when I go! Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got enough sweets for a year! Anyway, the day comes to an end and I just hoped I had enough gas to get home! I had done enough walking for one day! If I had one . . . it hurt. Saturday and Sunday were spent around the house and getting things put away for winter. (Nasty word!) Spent a couple of hours here at the office so as to make time Monday for some printing that needed to be done. Believe it or not . . . that beats housecleaning! Unfortunately that needs to be done again, too! Be good, Kids+!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showtime!

As always, I appreciate hearing from you. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to contact me with your thoughts and

three budget years. While the total amount dropped in Fiscal Year 2012, there was a 7.5 percent increase in the amount spent on dues in Fiscal Year 2013. The LSA report shows the Department of Education spent the most of any state agency in Fiscal Year 2013, totaling $493,101- a 28% increase over Fiscal Year 2011.

The report raises questions about which groups state agencies choose to belong to as well. Currently, four different state agencies- the Department of Administrative Services, Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services, the Department of Natural Resources, and Iowa Workforce Development- are dues-paying members of 27 different Chambers of Commerce, including the Prairie Du Chien Area Chamber of Commerce in Wisconsin. The findings also show that numerous state agencies belong to individual professional groups, and sometimes multiple agencies pay dues to the same organization. For example, Iowa Prison Industries, the Iowa Board of Regents, and the Iowa Public Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Retirement System (IPERS), are all dues-paying members of the Iowa Society of Certified Public Accountants.

As stewards of the taxpayer dollars, we must ask ourselves what kind of value these memberships add for Iowans. Since many of these dues are not paid for by gen-

1HZV IURP WKH *ROI &RXUVH

eral fund dollars, are they receiving the amount of oversight and scrutiny taxpayers expect? The payments for these memberships should not be made on autopilot. These types of questions need to be asked and addressed. It is our duty as elected officials to thoroughly review all state government spending and ask ourselves if it is a worthwhile use of taxpayer dollars. As we prepare for the upcoming session, these are the types of issues we will continue to investigate with the intention of providing more accountability and transparency for you, the taxpayer.

On a different note, earlier this month, students across the country celebrated National 4-H week. As a past 4-H member and leader, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed learning about the various projects 4-H groups have been working on and appreciate the contribution the students have made to our local communities. Thank you to all of the students and faculty that continue to make 4-H a thriving, successful, and productive organization!

We also recently observed fire prevention week and I want to thank all of the firefighters and volunteers who spent time in our schools educating our students about fire safety. Your selfless commitment to protect the residents of our communities is sincerely appreciated.

The wind was extremely dominant but hey who cares once you get those sticks in your handâ&#x20AC;Śnuttin and I mean nuttin can stand in your way. We only had eight men of steel, tunnel vision who stared weather in the face and stuck out their tongues. Oh yes we were destined, compelled and driven to finish nine holes. Thus we did just that in two teams of four with winners taking all. Bobert the Bobby type Shreckengost led FrankO Snows Schnoes, Roger Rogarr Madsen and me to victory. We sailed around the obstacles, dodged fescue and leaped over the waters to shoot a 37. FrankO had the shot of the yearâ&#x20AC;Śphantom this, we were in the fescue, ball propped up he had visions of it sailing out like a bullet. He took a smooth back swing nice rhythm coming down and by golly the ball stayed where it was, just sank deeper into the fescue.

His remark; â&#x20AC;&#x153;What went wong?â&#x20AC;? It was a picture of beauty, well ugly would be more appropriate, at least he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall down. We each collected $498.55 for our win however $496.55 was a promissory note due in 2098. Madsenie right in there crushed some drives; we thought we had Cliff on our team for a minute, one problem some ended up in Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bean field with one hitting Judy Siems barn.

Drastic times call for drastic measures, but sometimes that change isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a bad thing.

A recent statement penned by more than 150 Iowa environmental researchers, climate experts and agricultural professors advocated a statewide shift away from outdated farming methods. The report urged farmers to adopt aggressive practices aimed at conserving our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fertile soil, and the experts listed numerous options that could help thwart Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large erosion problem thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been thrust to the forefront recently.

The results of the proposed changes will take time to realize if implemented, but that makes them no less pertinent for our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important industry.

Scientists pointed towards extremely unpredictable weather patterns caused by global warming as the reason for recent farming woes over the past two years.

Iowa was gripped by drought in 2012, and this spring proved to be the wettest on record. Such erratic weather led to obvious erosion issues throughout the state in May and June, which then created even more problems in areas affected by the wandering dirt throughout the summer.

All that soil typically finds its way to the intricate drainage tiles that weave their way underneath our fields, eventually flowing into the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streams, rivers and lakes.

The unintended problems that arise from this scenario are obvious. Manure and chemicals applied to the soil flood our waterways and cause extremely elevated levels of phosphates, algae and other pollutants.

This murky reality has been an issue for many communities statewide and nearly every waterway is affected.

Our corner of the state hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been immune to the troubles of soil erosion by any means. Beeds Lake has been the focus of pollution problems in recent years, and it seems erosion and runoff has been one of the contributing factors.

DNR officials pointed out at a meeting in August that the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large water shed has created extremely elevated levels of phosphates that contribute to huge algal blooms and other problems. They pointed towards better soil conservation methods and other tactics as a means to control this ongoing issue, but the solutions are long-term and will take time to realize.

Though this may seem like an unavoidable reality, a unique opportunity greets Iowa farmers as we stare into the face of unpredictable weather patterns, continued

some nice putts as the cleanup hitter, just like the old slo-pitch days.

Me I just kept notes.

The second place team was led by Billy Billiam Boy Nolte helped out

by Daveeee-Davidski Levitt, Cliffy Clifton Cameron and Dally-Waggy Slagle. They shot 38, oh so close but nope, won nuttin which was truly a shame. Tee-Heeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the words! They thought their game was ugly, well like whom I to argue with guys of that stature and supposedly men who are held in high esteem in the golf world. Dally said that Levittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best shots were his practice swings.

In all reality folks they were three under, under a tree, under the fescue and under the water. Billy Bob right in there said his best shots are the gimme putts. Cliffy said his best drives were driving the cart! Thus we come to the close of yet another episode in the lives of the rich and famous, whoa Nellie, but rather the old broke and still vertical.

So as I clamber to get the laundry done and folded before Bev gets home, I bid thee a tip of the hat. Did you know that the minimum wage in the NFL is $405,000, wow thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like a beginning teacher?

The highest score in football was in 1916 when Georgia Tech beat Cumber 222-0, now that a whipping!

Enough falderal for one week, I exit hoping for at least one more article before the snow flies. Bazinga is the word around the Ridge Stone old codgerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf dynasty.

soil erosion and increased water pollution. Agriculture experts highlighted numerous conservation methods that have potential to not only stop erosion and reduce pollution, but also improve soil quality and pad the pocketbooks of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers.

Planting cover crops seems to be the most viable of these options.

Agronomists from institutions like Iowa State University have pushed this method recently, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pointed out that Iowa ranks near last in the Midwest when it comes to utilizing the benefits of cover crops.

Planting cereal grains and other grasses after corn and soybeans become established in late summer creates an added barrier against soil erosion. The cover crop gets rooted underneath the dominating corn and soybeans and remains after harvest season. This holds the soil in place when fields are left bare and unplanted, in turn reducing runoff during times of spring waterfall and thawing.

Farmers get an added bonus of grazing land for livestock and an increase in the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic material once the cover crop is killed and plowed under. This boosts soil quality, produces better crops and reduces the need to apply chemicals like nitrogen each year. With less erosion, nitrate levels are able to stabilize because less is running off. This reduces water pollution and improves water quality by decreasing unwanted contaminants in the water.

Climate change has the potential to alter numerous facets of our everyday lives. As pointed out by the recent report, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already directly affecting Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest industry and most cherished resource â&#x20AC;&#x201C; farming and our soil. Adopting proactive methods to adjust and preserve the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dirt is of the utmost importance from both an economic and environmental standpoint. Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers have always been a proactive bunch when it comes to preserving our land, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital they continue to implement more ways to improve and conserve the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable asset.

A dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of the Chapin news

By Kay Rother and Mouska My human parent is out of town, so I thought I would tell you about my friends and the night we all went to the other side of town.

My puppy pals are: Soyer Laughlin, a good looking German Shepard. We do not play in his yard because his human mom plants pretty flowers everywhere.

Soaphie Marshall is the new girl in town. She is a little black Dachshund. We all like her owner because Soaphie was a rescue dog and rescue dogs rule.

Roadie Oltman, no one knows his pedigree. He refers to himself as a hybrid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a classy word for mutt. You cannot help but love him.

He looks like Marmaduke from the funny papers. Just to see him run is hilarious. When his paws hit the ground his ears fly up.

We had heard through the morning barks Fourth Street in Chapin had many houses decorated for Halloween. Soyer was the lead dog and due to the fact I am Bichone Frise, my fur is all white and I took the rear.

It did not take long to get to Fourth Street. Yep, the houses there are real festive. Mrs. Ruth Brunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s porch has pumkin lights in every window. She invited me in once and her whole house is decorated with lights and ghosts. I think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for a 94 years-young lady to decorate for Halloween.

A couple of houses on the block had Halloween lights and witches at the end of their driveways. Connie Ubben hung different colored lights all over the outside of her house and even had big black spiders on her door. We did not stay long and all hurried back to our homes on First Street to wait at the door for the trick-or-treaters to arrive.

Hope you will stop at my house, I am dressed as a chicken this year.

Sue Obrien traveled to Bellevue on Monday, Sept. 16 to visit with family members and welcome home her dad who was on an Honor Flight that day. Her dad Virtus Clasen, who served in the Marines, was accompanied by her brother Bruce Clasen of Plymouth, Minnesota. *** Dougherty will be welcoming trick or treaters to town on Thursday, Oct. 31 from 5 to 7 p.m. Please turn on your lights if you would like visitors to come to your house *** Many Dougherty citizens traveled to Rockford on Thursday, Oct. 24 to attend funeral services for Yvonne Litterer. Yvonne, 83, died on October 17 at the Nora Springs Care Center. Services were held at the First United Methodist Church with the Rev. Judy Wooton presiding. *** Ryan Marzen, son of Dennis and Sally Marzen, has qualified to run in the Boston marathon with his time at a Des Moines marathon sponsored by HyVee. Ryan is a teacher in the Denison School system. *** Dougherty Domestic Club met at St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, on Tuesday, Oct. 22, to continue the tradition of decorating cookies. Everyone had an enjoyable evening decorating the Halloween cookies to be taken to the Rockwell Care Center. Pat McLaughlin and Joann Jensen were hosts and served a delicious lunch. Discussion will continue on a memento to celebrate our 60th anniversary as an organization. Cookies will be taken to the Rockwell Care Center on Friday, Oct. 25. *** Sue Obrien, Delores Marzen and Evelyn Hogan traveled to Rockwell on Friday to share the Domestic Club cookies with the residents and staff of the Rockwell Care center. The residents and staff gobbled down the cookies and all enjoyed the chance to visit with the residents. *** On Sunday, Oct. 27 Rockwell Sacred Heart Catholic Church held its annual turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Local residents traveled to Rockwell to enjoy the sit-down dinner and take in the bake sale.

Investments grow Iowa jobs, middle class During the 2013 session, we took big strides to expand Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle class through job creation and economic growth initiatives, including the largest tax cut in state history.

Fixing our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property tax system will save Iowans $4.4 billion over 10 years by giving every class of property a permanent tax cut.

A big piece of this effort is the new Business Property Tax Credit, which reduces commercial property taxes, helping small businesses the most. The Business Property Tax Credit will reduce taxes with-

out shifting the burden to residential property owners through state reimbursements which will allow to local government to fully fund schools and continue providing services to the community. Commercial property owners can take advantage of the Business Property Tax Credit at www.iowa.gov/tax/ locgov/13PTReform.html. For the first year, $50 million is available to commercial property owners, with applications for the credit on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property taxes being accepted through January 15, 2014.

When the $125 million tax cut is fully phased in after three years, almost two-thirds of Iowa commercial propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;those valued at $145,000 or lessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will be taxed at the same rate as residential properties. Bigger businesses also will get a break on the first $145,000 of their property.

Other much-praised boosts to local business and job creation include: â&#x20AC;˘Enhancing economic development by allowing local governments to establish reinvestment districts. â&#x20AC;˘Increasing incentives for businesses to locate and expand in Iowa. Financial incentives were increased to $16.9 million, and the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Development Tax Credit was increased by $50 million. These funds will help with relocation and expansion projects that encourage local investment, job creation, employee training and higher wages. â&#x20AC;˘Encouraging rehabilitation of historic commercial properties and business districts by expanding eligibility for Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Historic Tax Credits to assist small and large projects. â&#x20AC;˘Helping promising startups get off the ground by providing an Innovation Tax Credit for investment in early-stage, innovative companies.

OCTOBER 31, 2013 Sheffield, Iowa

BOGUE from page 1 nity.

4. I can work with all groups and individuals listen to ideas from others and work with everyone to resolve a situation. With my work as the deputy city clerk for almost five years I have a very good idea of how to handle situations from both sides of the desk. I can lead the city council to make the best decisions possible for Sheffield residents and begin to rebuild trust among everyone.

5. We need continued work on the infrastructure, possibly create a five and/or 10-year plan.

Continue discussion to develop the hayfield between C-13 and Gilman into a residential area. Recently, homes and lots were purchased in Sheffield and I would like to see the community grow.

Improvements at Galvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park are needed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice campground with a bath house and dump station, but nothing for the kids to do. Galvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s could use a

PAGE SEVEN play area.

6. I decided to run for mayor because I feel we need a mayor who truly wants to be in office and work to improve our community.

I also feel that I can begin to rebuild the trust between the community and city.

7. I will always listen, be supportive and open-minded to the ideas of Sheffield residents.

KINGERY from page 1 how to lead. It takes working to-

Official Proceedings: City of Sheffield

gether to accomplish the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business and that is the focus we need to keep in mind. Running the city is a business and I feel that is forgotten at times.

5. 1) City streets clearly need work. There are several streets in the city that need to be improved.

In fact, Main Street itself is crumbling.

2) Our swimming pool is over 40 years old and past its life expectancy. Citizens of Sheffield need to start thinking about a new pool inside a building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a recreation center. That way it could be used all year long and can be utilized by everyone in the community.

6. I am running because Sheffield is my home and I care about it. I would like to be part of the group planning for the future of Sheffield.

7. November 5th is Election Day, and I am asking for your support and your vote. If elected I will work hard and do my best to make sure that taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money is used wisely and city business is taken care of appropriately and professionally.

LEAHY from page 1 ly as part of the exhibit, which is exciting for Deike and others on the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on permanent loan, you might say,â&#x20AC;? Deike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still technically property of the Navy.â&#x20AC;?

Deike said the exhibit about Leahyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is not yet open to the public and the committee is hoping to add a few more touches before it is unveiled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get a TV with a film about Admiral Leahy,â&#x20AC;? Deike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School kids could come and visit the exhibit and get to watch a show about him and his life.â&#x20AC;?

Leahy is well known among military historians as being the first five star military commander in U.S. history; he was also chief of staff for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Harry S. Truman. Leahy was born in Hampton and resided in the city until he was about six years old when his family moved to Wisconsin.

DEATH NOTICE Phyllis Ann Warwick, 78, of Coulter, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013, at the Franklin Country View Nursing Facility in Hampton.

$20,000 reward offered for locating Ethan Kazmerzak

By Jeff Forward Hampton Chronicle The search for missing Hampton man Ethan Kazmerzak continues, entering its sixth week, and now a reward is offered for information that helps authorities find him.

A $20,000 reward is being offered for information regarding the whereabouts of Kazmerzak or his safe return.

Kazmerzak has been missing since about 12 a.m. Sept.

15, after he was last seen at a party in rural Franklin County somewhere near the intersection of 190th Street and Nettle Avenue.

A wide-ranging search for Kazmerzak was conducted for almost one week by various members of the public and law enforcement officials, yet no clues to his location were uncovered and the mystery remains unsolved.

Kazmerzak has not used his credit cards, bank ATM card, nor his cell phone since the night he went missing. His cell phone was tracked as last being used at the intersection of 190th Street and Olive Avenue at about 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 15.

Since the week after his disappearance and subsequent week of searching, nothing has been discovered about Kazmerzak or his vehicle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a silver 2006 Volkwagen Jetta with the license plate AUZ 382.

On Monday, family members and Hampton police officials announced they were offering a reward of $20,000 for any information leading to the whereabouts of Ethan or his safe return.

The $20,000 in reward funds has conditions to it which will be posted on the Hampton city Web site â&#x20AC;&#x201C; www.hamptonia.us - on Wednesday. The money was pooled together by an anonymous group of donors, said Hampton Police Chief Bob Schaefer.

Police said Kazmerzak was last seen wearing a white or teal shirt with orange or peach shorts. He is described as 5-foot, 5-inches tall and about 180 pounds, with a beard, dark-blonde hair, Drew Carey-style glasses and a Grateful Dead tattoo on his left upper arm.

Anyone with information about Kazmerzak or his location is asked to immediately call Hampton police officials at (641) 4562529. Police also ask anyone who may encounter Kazmerzak to not interact with him because they believe he may flee.

Exchange students adjusting well to life at West Fork

By Nick Pedley They may be new to America, but three foreign exchange students have felt right at home this year at West Fork High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really great, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never alone. The teachers or students help us right away if we need anything,â&#x20AC;? said Catherina Eichel, 15, a student from Germany.

Eichel is joined by fellow exchange students Florencia FrĂ­as, 17, Chile, and Hiina Domae, 16, Japan.

All three girls were on the volleyball team this fall and have enjoyed getting to know their fellow classmates at West Fork. The trio said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been easy to adjust to life in small town Iowa, even though only two of them visited America before signing up for the exchange student program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very small, so everyone

knows each other,â&#x20AC;? said Domae. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always see somebody you know.â&#x20AC;?

High school principal Randy Bushbaum said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun watching the girls build relationships in the classroom and on the volleyball court. He said West Fork usually brings in two foreign exchange students, but this is the first time three came.

He said the most obvious benefit of the exchange student program is added diversity to the West Fork district. He pointed out that the student body is around 98 percent white, which causes a lack in interaction with people from different backgrounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can study them in class or read about them in a text book, but until you actually talk to them and ask questions, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to fully

Little Brown Church subject of film The historic Windsor Theatre in Hampton will be one of the few locations in Iowa to showcase the new film â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Little Brown Church in the Vale: The Movieâ&#x20AC;?.

The movie is produced and directed by Oskaloosa native Brian Hanson, now of Franklin, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Little Brown Church in the Vale: The Movieâ&#x20AC;? is the delightful story of the The Little Brown Church, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church in the Wildwoodâ&#x20AC;? song that made it famous, and the people whose lives have been touched by this â&#x20AC;&#x153;little brown churchâ&#x20AC;? in Nashua.

To date, it has been the home to nearly 74,000 weddings in the last 100 years. It is truly a national

treasure.

Share the laughter, the tears and the heartwarming stories of people that have made the church the destination for their wedding and left with a memory to last forever.

The film will be shown one night only, Monday, Nov. 11, at the Windsor Theatre, 103 North Federal Street, Hampton. The show starts at 7 p.m.

Brian Hanson will be there to talk about his new film. Seating is limited.

For further information, contact Jim Davies via email at jim@ coachdavies.netor call the Windsor Theatre at 641-456-4389 and leave a message.

understand different people and cultures,â&#x20AC;? said Bushbaum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for [West Fork] students to experience different cultures firsthand.â&#x20AC;?

The girls said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed their schoolwork in addition to extracurricular activities. Foods, chorus and Spanish have been their favorites, but they admitted certain classes have proven difficult.

Understanding some of the literature in American History and English class have been hard at times throughout the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What really helps is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always someone there. The teachers and students have been really good with helping us out if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite understand something,â&#x20AC;? Eichel said.

All three agreed language barriers were their biggest source of frustration since coming to West Fork.

FrĂ­as has the most experience with English because she attended a British private school for 12 years in Chile, but Domae and Eichel have considerably less practice. The pair has just over five years of experience from their respective schools in Japan and Germany. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The language is weird sometimes, and sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to understand because people talk so fast,â&#x20AC;? Domae pointed out.

Eichel agreed, and explained the whole process gets rather taxing at times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get tired because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always thinking really hard about what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying and making sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the right things,â&#x20AC;? she said.

English might be difficult at times, but the girls havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it get in the way of their experience. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken trips to Des Moines to meet fellow exchange students and also spend time outside of school with

They unanimously chose Buffalo Wild Wings as their favorite restaurant and pointed out one distinct difference between America and their home countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is so big here!â&#x20AC;? said FrĂ­as. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The small size is our large back in Chile, and you always get so much food at restaurants here.â&#x20AC;?

The girls admitted they missed their family and friends back home even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed their visit thus far. FrĂ­as and Domae will finish out the school year at West Fork, but Eichel is scheduled to return to Germany in December so she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to repeat a year of school. However, the trio said

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all love to return to the United States someday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always try to convince my parents to move to California, even though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been there,â&#x20AC;?

Eichel said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I might look at going to college here if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too expensive.â&#x20AC;?

Warhaks fall to Hudson in Class 1A, District 3 action

By Ryan Harvey For the final time, the West Fork seniors stepped onto the football in Sheffield in a Class 1A District 3 contest with Hudson.

Tattered and bruised from a difficult and hard-fought season, the Warhawks were unable to pull off a win over the Pirates, falling 28-6.

Spencer Halloran, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive spark plug during the past four years, led the way with 96 yards rushing and receiving.

Halloran, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practice during the week due to injuries, mustered 62 yards on 25 carries and 65 yards receiving.

Sophomore Jacob Kuhlemeier added 21 yards on eight tries while Collin Arndt added 16 yards and a score on 11 attempts.

However, the Warhawks struggled to move the ball against the Pirates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We changed things up a bit this week,â&#x20AC;? coach Rodney Huber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Spencer would be available because of the injuries.

So we ran a very conservative offense.â&#x20AC;?

The Warhawks featured a diamond formation rather than the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typical spread version.

In the backfield, Halloran slid to the tailback position while Arndt came in at quarterback, sophomore Jacob Kuhlemeier was one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fullbacks while freshman Cole Hall served as the other.

Huber said he was proud of the effort put forth by the squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really thought the kids worked their tails off,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kuhlemeier ran hard, Spencer played hard with his bum ankle, and we got to see what Arndt could do with the offense.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collin will likely be the quarterback next year,â&#x20AC;? Huber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not flashy, he gets the job done with no mistakes.â&#x20AC;?

The Warhawks scored their only touchdown of the contest when Arndt bootlegged around the left side of the offensive line and scored from four yards out.

Huber said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preparations will begin for next season with a stronger emphasis on the weight room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all starts in the weight room,â&#x20AC;? he said with regards to next seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preparations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played a lot of young kids this season, so I think our future is very bright.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect everything else stays the same, with 7 on 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and camps.â&#x20AC;?

The Warhawks lose six seniors from the roster heading in to next season.

Halloran, linemen Collin Schoning, Cody Grant, Tanner Tuttle, Ethan Meints, and Hunter Uhde all graduate from the squad.

West Fork squad joins Twedt in return trip to state

By Kristi Nixon EAGLE GROVE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Last year, Peyton Twedt bore the responsibility of representing West Fork alone at the state cross country meet.

After the Thursday, Oct. 24 state qualifying meet at Eagle Grove, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a little help from his friends.

Twedt, ranked third in 1A, led the Warhawks to the team title, winning the individual championship in 16 minutes, 45 seconds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; eight seconds ahead of the runner-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just really wanted to get the title and get that first before I worried about time,â&#x20AC;? Twedt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Drew got 10th and Jacob got 11th and (Austin) Steil and Colton (Rowe) coming in, it looked pretty good. I think we did pretty well.â&#x20AC;?

In a rare twist, Twedtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate Drew Engebretson was the second finisher for West Fork, taking 10th ahead of freshman Jacob Hansen (11th). Hansen is ranked 21st individually.

Engebretson has been unranked all season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal was to come out and get top-10 and go from there,â&#x20AC;? Engebretson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qualifying as an individual and helping the team as much as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In practice we always push each other and go after each other and I kind of thought this race I was going to stick with him as long as possible. If it came down to pushing it to be in the top 10, that is what I was going to do.â&#x20AC;?

West Fork coach Mark Twedt said that it was something different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think at state weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have the same top three and who knows how it will work out,â&#x20AC;? coach Twedt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy with three in the top 11 and hopefully at state we can run and get three up there really high and then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know what will happen.

Right now we look strong. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a good week of training, rest, get them honed in and sharp. I told them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not peaked for this meet.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hopefully, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there yet and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get there.â&#x20AC;?

Engebretson came in down the stretch to the finish line keeping pace with ninth-place finisher Caleb Wedeking of North Butler. Both crossed the finish line at 17:01. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually he (Caleb Wedeking) and Jacob hang around in meets,â&#x20AC;?

Engebretson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to hang right with them and hopefully Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have enough by the end.â&#x20AC;?

Austin Steil and Colton Rowe finished 19th and 23rd, respectively, as the Warhawks scored 64 points to out-distance second place team Algona Garrigan (113). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a goal, I mean, for a while,â&#x20AC;? coach Twedt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially last year after districts when we got fourth, and that was probably the best we could have done last year looking at everything and knowing we had Jacob coming up and knowing that Peyton and Drew were going to get better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then coming in with Austin Steil made a huge difference. With Colton Rowe better and both Kyle (Schulz) and Markus (Wogen) who ran varsity last year for us but really had to work to beat out some freshmen. It was just a good example of what competition we had in practice. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited, yeah.â&#x20AC;?

Now the Warhawks have their eyes on a bigger goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ranked third and we want to do better than we are ranked,â&#x20AC;?

Peyton Twedt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going for the win â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but everybody is, though.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to state â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty happy about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking about it. We finally did it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just talking about it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it. Last year we talked about it, this year we did it, which feels

By Kristi Nixon NASHUA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hoping for a different result, West Forkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team went up against Corn Bowl opponent Nashua-Plainfield in the opener of the Class 2A Regional 6 volleyball tournament.

Unfortunately for coach Abbee Gappaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warhawks, who met the Huskies twice during the regular season and suffered a pair of losses, the result was the same.

Lindsey Peterson, who finished the season with 474 kills, had most of her 35 against N-P in the first set as the Warhawks opened with a 2517 win, but the Huskies went on to reel off three straight sets to advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we came out right away and put it to them, just like we could play,â&#x20AC;? Gappa said of the first game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we just were unable to finish a whole five games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I think that was our deal all season long. That was troubling for me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that Nashua is a better team, I hate to say that, I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they are; but I think we could play with anybody, especially at our best. But, unfortunately, we have a tendency to beat ourselves and we let that happen again tonight.â&#x20AC;?

West Fork (15-13, final) took an 11-7 lead in the first set, forcing N-P to call timeout, but things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get better as the Warhawks reeled off seven of the next nine points behind three Peterson kills and three

Huskie errors.

But N-P went on to win the next three games, 25-16, 25-18, 25-21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just fell apart, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communication, I guess. We thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh, we won by a lot, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to lose this game.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight back and do the things we needed to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted it to be different, but it ended up the same as the last games. I wish we could have played better. We all made mistakes, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just any one person.

We all had our fair share.â&#x20AC;?

The Huskies had 10 of their ace serves in the match in the last two games. They converted three straight to end the third game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, I think they got in our heads a little bit and when you get in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headâ&#x20AC;Śyou know, passing is the hardest part of volleyball,â&#x20AC;? Gappa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a good pass and nothing goes right, momentum gets stolen from you. They were able to run with it.â&#x20AC;?

Peterson, who added 32 digs for the Warhawks, said the back row got a little hesitating and timid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really focus, I guess,â&#x20AC;? said Peterson.

Courtney Larson, who finished with nine kills, added 18 digs and was perfect on 12 serves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be prepared, we had a lot of nice digs tonight, but as far as makingâ&#x20AC;Śmistakes, it was just matter of cutting those down,â&#x20AC;?

(Kristi Nixon photo) Gappa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always leery, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scared to say anything after a first game when we win because I have a feeling that is going to cloud their eyes and it did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even knowâ&#x20AC;Śthey got momentum and got their home court, fans and line judges. You look at everything they had and they were able to stop us at everything we put out there.â&#x20AC;?

Jacy Guerrero (24) and Ahna Larson combined for 41 assists for the Warhawks.

The match marks the end of Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, who recently surpassed the 1,000 marks in kills and digs and had already went past the 1,000-mark for set assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried my best,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did everything I could. I made a couple of mistakes here and there. I played to win, butâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?
