ETHAN KAZMERZAK

The disappearance of Hampton man Ethan Kazmerzak, 22, has captivated both local residents and people from throughout the state since he went missing during the early hours of Sept. 15.

Kazmerzak was well-known throughout the community for his involvement with local plays and other programs at the Windsor Theatre. His disappearance sparked a week-long, multi-pronged search on Sept. 16 that included aerial patrols, foot and vehicle searches, and a dive team scouring gravel pits where Kazmerzak was last seen. The searches yielded no new clues, and eventually leads began to dry up.

A volunteer search and rescue team from Wisconsin brought elaborate sonar equipment to investigate the ponds north of Hampton again in late November. They returned in December after they discovered two potential leads following a review of the data, but the images in question turned out to be rocks.

A majority of discussion focused on how to switch their contracts with city over to the county level after they begin employment with the Franklin County Emergency Management Commission (FCEMC) some time in the near future.

In May, the Hampton City Council drafted and approved a 28E agreement to establish a Franklin County Emergency Communication Center. The proposal was sent to the supervisors, but they turned it down because of legal concerns. The supervisors agreed in principle that all dispatchers should be hired once they move from the Hampton Police Department to the Law Enforcement Center, but they were concerned about breaking equal opportunity laws. ´4XLWH IUDQNO\ , GRQ¡W NQRZ ZKHUH ZH¡UH JRLQJ KHUH Âľ +DPSWRQ 0D\RU Shawn Dietz said on June 24. “I thought we were heading in a good direcWLRQ Âľ Both entities turned the matter over to legal council to draft a proposal WKDW ZRXOG SOHDVH ERWK WKH FLW\ DQG FRXQW\ LQ DGGLWLRQ WR WKH GLVSDWFKHUV¡ XQLRQ UHSUHVHQWDWLYHV &LW\ DQG FRXQW\ OHYHO RIĂ€FLDOV PHW LQ $XJXVW WR KDVK out their differences, and a document was later revised detailing the switch.

IOWA FALLS HOSPITAL WILL HAVE NEW NAME UPON OPENING The Ellsworth Municipal Hospital Board of Directors met on Wednesday, December 18, and approved a new name for the hospital when it moves to its new facility currently under construction.

The board listened to a presentation from Marketing Director, Shannon Jensen, before voting to approve the name for the new hospital. The presentation focused on the branding research and the meaning behind all of the visual elements which will represent the new brand.

According to Jensen, rebranding often occurs when a major strategic change happens such as building a new facility or when there is a major donor to consider. She adds the new name and logo visuals sup-

port the organization and its services as they look to the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The name supports who we are as an organizaWLRQ DV WKH ZRUG ´KRVSLWDO¡ FRQWLQXHV WR EHVW UHĂ HFW RXU RUJDQL]DWLRQ¡V FRUH VHUYLFHV VKDUHG -HQVHQ ´7KH word family came through the research strongly in how our community connects with us.

NASCAR announced rule changes for 2014, including an increased rear spoiler height and no front ride height measurements pre and post-race. NASCAR had been considering changes that would make it easier for cars to pass one another on 1.5 and 2-mile long tracks for some time. To increase control, NASCAR has added downforce for 2014. This means higher cornering speeds. The rule package also provides for a square leading edge on the splitter, side skirt and rear fascia tweaks, and an eight-inch rear spoiler. The sanctioning body held a test last week to try out four conďŹ gurations, including one with an approximate 100 horsepower reduction. However, horsepower will not be reduced next season. The new package will not apply to restrictor plate races, including the season-opening Daytona 500 in February. It will be deployed for the ďŹ rst time at Phoenix on March 2.
