By Nick Pedley The Hampton City Council agreed on Dec. 12 to move forward with plans that ZLOO FUHDWH D IRXU ZD\ VWRS ZLWK Ă DVKLQJ red lights at the intersection of Highway 3 and First Street.

7KH FRXQFLO KDG GHEDWHG KRZ WR Ă€[ WKH LQWHUVHFWLRQ¡V WUDIĂ€F OLJKWV VLQFH WKH\ went out of operation during the fall. City maintenance crews had originally placed a four-sided stop sign in the middle of the intersection, but had to remove the apparatus so snow removal could proceed during the winter months. Four large stop signs have since been fastened to each corner of the intersection to remind motorists of the stop. “My feeling was the $1,700 route was

the good way to go,� said Council Member Dick Lukensmeyer, adding that many of the citizens he talked to wished for the intersection to remain a four-way stop.

The council discussed a long list of VROXWLRQV IRU WKH WUDIĂ€F OLJKWV DW WKHLU Dec. 9 workshop. The Department of Transportation presented four options: completely replace the all of the lights for $150,000; refurbish the existing red, yellow and green lights and bring them into operation for $25,000-$30,000; inVWDOO QHZ IRXU ZD\ UHG Ă DVKLQJ EHDFRQV suspended by cable diagonally across the intersection overhead for $7,000; or reIXUELVK WKH ZLULQJ IRU UHG Ă DVKLQJ OLJKWV on the current poles for $1,700. “I can live with that,â€? said Council Member Craig Eckhardt, regarding the $1,700 option. “I agree with Dick. I think WKH SULFH LV ULJKW DQG , WKLQN LW¡V WKH HFRnomical and feasible way to go.â€?

The council unanimously agreed to proceed with the $1,700 solution, but there were still concerns. Council Member Dyanne Pralle felt some citizens might think the lights would eventually return to their original three-color operation because the yellow and green lights would remain following completion of the plan.

Chronicle Editorial

The story of Christmas From time to time as Christmas approachHV , ORYH WR SXOO RXW RQH RI P\ VRQV¡ ERDUG books and read it to them. The book, written

by Joseph Slate entitled “Who is Coming To Our House,� gives a glimpse of what happened in the barn over 2,000 years ago. “Who is coming to our house?� “Someone, someone,� says Mouse.

Who is that someone? $V &KULVWPDV DSSURDFKHV MXVW D IHZ VKRUW GD\V DKHDG ,¡OO UHFLWH 0DWWKHZ RI the New International Version.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.â€? $OO WKLV WRRN SODFH WR IXOĂ€OO ZKDW WKH /RUG had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuelâ€?--which means, “God with us.â€?

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.�

When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When KH KDG FDOOHG WRJHWKHU DOO WKH SHRSOH¡V FKLHI priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,â€? they replied, “for this LV ZKDW WKH SURSKHW KDV ZULWWHQ ´¡%XW \RX Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the

He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon DV \RX Ă€QG KLP UHSRUW WR PH VR WKDW , WRR may go and worship him.â€?

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.

On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,� he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.�

So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was IXOĂ€OOHG ZKDW WKH /RUG KDG VDLG WKURXJK WKH prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.â€?

When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said WKURXJK WKH SURSKHW -HUHPLDK ZDV IXOĂ€OOHG “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.â€?

So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.

WEEKLY PRO RACING UPDATE Jimmy Small has been tabbed to operate the Iowa Speedway. Small was informed by NASCAR CEO Brian France in late September that he would lead the speedway if a deal to purchase the facility from the family of Featherlite Trailers founder Conrad Clement was ďŹ nalized.

At NASCAR, Small has worked with nearly 30 tracks to develop and orchestrate everything from prerace activities to victory lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything a fan sees or experiences, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved in it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Small reiterated NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position when it bought the track that a Sprint Cup Series race is not a part of Iowa Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreseeable future. Small conďŹ rmed for the ďŹ rst time, however, that 2015 has been ruled out as well. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can never say never, but not for 2015. Our focus is going to be on the popular series we already have.â&#x20AC;?
