Hansen admits violating probation; sentencing set for April 14

BY NICK PEDLEY Former Hampton doctor Brian J. Hansen was taken into custody and placed on a $5,000 cash-only bond March 18 after he admitted to violating the terms of his probation in Franklin County District Court.

The plea stemmed from a November encounter in which Hansen made contact with a woman he sexually exploited when he was a physician at Franklin General Hospital. During last Tuesday·s hearing, Hansen admitted he entered the Hampton Casey·s General Store on Nov. 30 despite knowing the victim, named by the court as J.K., was in the building. J.K. was one of seven women listed in a no-contact order stipulated by Hansen·s probation agreement.

Hansen On May 30, 2013, Hansen pled guilty to

one count of Sexual Exploitation by a Counselor or Therapist, a Class D Felony. In addition to the no contact order against the seven victims, he was placed on Àve years probation in lieu of Àve years of prison, ordered to register as a sex offender for 15 years, and assessed a $7,500 Àne plus potential victim restitution. He was Àred from FGH in 2012 and forced to surrender his medical license in October 2013 due to his misconduct.

“I think that what Dr. Hansen has admitted to is enough for me to Ànd a violation of probation, and I do make that Ànding,” Judge Colleen Weiland said in her ruling Tuesday.

Prior to the judge·s decision, Hansen had the opportunity to dispute the claim listed against him. He denied two speciÀc portions of J.K.·s accusations, but admitted he did violate the no-contact order during the Nov. 30 encounter.

“Your honor, in the reported violation I would deny that I made any eye contact or untoward (inappropriate) looks to the victim, but I do admit to the rest of that violation,” Hansen told the judge. “I was not in the store before J.K. as the violation

stated. I pulled into the parking lot and was walking towards the store, but I did not enter the store prior to J.K.” Weiland pointed out that Hansen·s account didn·t match up with the original claims. She asked Iowa State Assistant Attorney General Susan Krisko, representing the prosecution, if she wanted to rely on his testimony or proceed with an evidentiary hearing, which Krisko felt was unnecessary.

“I don·t believe that there is any dispute that he was not in the store before her, but he did enter after seeing her enter, and almost immediately afterwards. That would be the violation,” Krisko said.

Krisko wanted to bring Hansen·s probation ofÀcer to the stand and provide a history of his probation record. She claimed Hansen had made contact with more than one of his victims since his probation took effect in May 2013, and she felt it was important to make that information known prior to the judge·s See HANSEN: Page 3

3 DAY FORECAST

BY NICK PEDLEY An amended off-street parking ordinance could impose stricter regulations on Hampton residents soon, but it still needs a few tweaks before it gets put on the books for good.

Police Chief Bob Schaefer presented the Hampton City Council a draft document at their workshop Monday that outlined new requirements for residents that park vehicles on their lawns. The council had debated changes to parking code for more than a year, but the issue got put on the backburner during the summer and fall. Schaefer said the changes are necessary to crack down on residents that park vehicles on their yard for the entire winter.

Garbage truck breaks through road in Hampton last week

BY JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register A long-time teacher and administrator with area ties has been selected as the AGWSR Community School District·s new superintendent.

Marty Jimmerson , one of four Ànalists interviewed last week by the district·s school board, was selected by the board during a special meeting Thursday.

“We·re very excited,” he said.

The Alta, Iowa native is a UNI Jimmerson graduate and took graduate courses at Vitterbo and Drake. He taught at Woodward-Granger, Newell-Fonda and West Marshall and has served as a principal at St. Ansgar and Ballard, a position he has held for the past seven years.

BY NICK PEDLEY East side Hampton residents were treated to a rather unusual sight last Wednesday when a portion of paved road collapsed and swallowed up a garbage truck·s tire.

Waste Management employee Ted Mattick was making his regular stops along 8th Street Northeast when the incident occurred.

Mattick had already completed 70-80 pickups before arriving at the street, but his day was about to get a little longer. The front right tire of his 25-ton truck abruptly fell through the road, rendering the vehicle immobile.

“I was just creeping along and the truck slammed down before I could get the brake pulled,” Mattick said.

A tow truck, the Hampton Police Department and city maintenance workers were called to the scene shortly afterwards.

Mattick·s truck was eventually pulled from the hole, which was around 18 inches deep and more than two feet wide. No damage was done to the vehicle, according to Mattick.

“This is the Àrst time anything like this has happened,” he said.

Iowa Department of Transportation OfÀcer Jared Arbegast was called to the scene to complete a routine inspection on the garbage truck after it was pulled from the hole. Arbegast checked the truck·s weight and a few other things, but the vehicle was up to code and Mattick was sent on his way.

Supervisors discuss land easement with Rock Island Clean Line

BY NICK PEDLEY A proposed right-of-way property easement between Franklin County and the Rock Island Clean Line (RICL) energy project topped a busy agenda for the board of supervisors Monday morning.

Steve Perkins, RICL Senior Land Agent, met with the board to discuss a potential agreement that would allow workers to cross a portion of county-owned land during the construction of the project. If approved by state ofÀcials, RICL would build more than 500 miles of overhead power lines and towers to transport electricity from northwest Iowa wind farms to Chicago. RICL hasn·t been given the green light yet, but the company has been obtaining right-of-way easments from property owners along the project·s route in preparation.

City releases info about rusty water

John F Rowe, AAMS® Financial Advisor .

1202 4th Street NE Hampton, IA 50441 641-456-4946

Member SIPC

The City of Hampton has received a few complaints about discolored or rusty water in recent days.

OfÀcials believe this discoloration is due to multiple recent water main breaks and an increased use of well No. 3, which has stirred the water distribution system enough to cause some rusty water.

If you observe discolored water, the city recommends you open an unscreened faucet on your property and Áush cold water until you observe the color has cleared (which should usually take no more than 10

minutes). OfÀcials also recommend that you check your water for clarity before laundering.

If you continue to observe the discolored water, contact the Hampton Water Department at 641-4562124 and they will provide you further information. If staff is unavailable, they ask that you leave a message and they will assist you as soon as they are available. As weather permits, city staff will be Áushing the distribution system to remedy this temporary issue.

COUNCIL WORKSHOP From Page 1

“In order for a vehicle to be parked on a yard, it has to be on crushed rock, concrete or blacktop, and it·s gotta be four inches thick,” Schaefer said about the proposal.

The amendment includes an exemption that allows residents to park on their yards when a snow ordinance is in effect. However, they must remove those vehicles within 24 hours or face a $25 Àne.

“There·s been numerous people leaving their car in their yard all winter long. So now, you·ll have something to notify them if they go 24 hours over the snow ordinance,” said Mayor Brook Boehmler. “That is not permanent parking for the winter.”

Councilman Jay Hickman suggested Schaefer clarify things like the maximum size each parking area is allowed and how far the space needs to be set back from the alleyway. Public Works Director Doug Tarr said zoning code already covers some of those issues, but felt it wouldn·t hurt to include them in the Ànal ordinance.

“It·s good that you split hairs when we talk about it, because you·d be surprised at the number of citizens that would do things just to get out of it,” said Tarr. “The idea was to make this as fool-proof as possible, so when we do go to court we win.”

Schaefer and Tarr said they·d bring the suggestions back to City Attorney Megan Rosenberg for revisions. They hoped to have the changes back for discussion at the April 8 council workshop, with the Àrst ordinance reading held at the April 10 meeting.

“The main thing is that we get it in before we really get into spring, because we·re going to have a learning curve here,” said Schaefer. “I don·t plan on writing somebody a ticket a few days after we have it enacted or whatever. We·re going to have to do some publicity – maybe passing out door hangers, getting it put into Spanish so that can get out, too.”

Following the ordinance review, the council discussed security camera options at the Aquatic Center. The city recently received a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Franklin County for increased nighttime security equipment at the pool and neighboring park and athletic courts.

Vandals broke in and caused damage to the Aquatic Center last summer, and the council felt thwarting criminals through the use of surveillance system would be a worthy deterrent. Schaefer also believed adding more cameras to the surrounding area would boost security and make the park a more welcoming place.

“I want our parks to be safe,” Schaefer said. “If we have a pedophile there at the park and know he·s there, we can do something about it. Same thing if a Àght breaks out there.”

The council agreed with Schaefer·s proactive approach and asked him to gather more estimates on high-quality surveillance equipment for the area.

They will review their options at a future meeting.

underneath the pavement once warm temperatures thawed the top-level of soil.

“It wasn·t leaking enough to tell anyone, ¶Hey, we got a water main break here,· ” said Tarr. “It was just one of those things Mother Nature provided us with again.”

The discovery was just one more water main break on the city·s ever-growing list. More than 10 mains broke throughout Hampton this winter due to an abnormally deep frostline, but Tarr still expected a few more problems to pop up despite warmer temperatures.

“I·m still thinking we·re two or three weeks until the frostline gets to a relatively normal level,” he said.

Tarr encouraged residents to keep running a trickle of water from their faucets to avoid frozen pipes. Warmer weather tends to drive the frostline deeper into the ground before it starts to thaw, so homeowners are still vulnerable. More than 30 freeze-ups occurred at homes and business in Hampton during February.

“I·d like to knock on wood and say we·re not going to have anymore, but the fact of the matter is it can still happen,” he said.

Frozen mains have been the primary area focus for city workers, but they·ve begun to shift their sights on to annual spring maintenance projects.

Tarr said he receives calls each year from residents concerned with saturated alleys during the spring thaw. He acknowledged some alleys get pretty muddy during the spring but explained there was little the city could do.

“If we were to cover it with more gravel right now, it·d just get pushed down right away and you·d have the same problem,” he said. “To make any repairs right now would just be impractical.”

Tarr still encouraged residents to contact city hall and inform him about any bad alleyways or roads. He said the road department would resurface Hampton·s alleys once it dries out later this spring.

Right now, however, Tarr welcomed more precipitation.

“We need some nice warm rains to come and get this frost out of here,” he said.

PARTIES HASH OUT DIFFERENCES DURING RESTITUTION HEARING IN HANSEN CASE

BY NICK PEDLEY Objections to various restitution requests from victims of former Hampton doctor Brian J. Hansen highlighted a special hearing in Franklin County District Court on March 18.

The session followed another hearing that morning in which Judge Colleen Weiland found Hansen guilty of violating the terms of his probation. Hansen pled guilty in May 2013 to one count of Sexual Exploitation by a Counselor or Therapist, a Class D Felony. He was ordered to pay victim restitution to six women named in the case in addition to list of other probationary terms.

“This type of hearing is not unusual. This is a little more involved and a little more contested than they largely are, but it·s not an unusual procedure,” said Weiland. “It·s just that most cases, there aren·t as many people interested in it and the restitution portions aren·t quite as contested as this.”

Hansen·s attorney, Tammy Gen-

try, presented objections to restitution requests from two victims, T.C. and A.S. None of the victims were identiÀed by name due to the sexual nature of the case.

The victims· requests included reimbursement for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages that were a direct result of Hansen·s inappropriate conduct during his time as a physician at Franklin General Hospital. Ruth Walker, Restitution Coordinator with the Crime Victim Assistance Division of the Iowa Attorney General·s OfÀce, was called during the hearing to provide witness testimony via telephone. Prosecuting attorney Susan Krisko asked Walker a list of detailed questions inquiring about the functions of her ofÀce and its procedural protocol.

Walker explained the restitution approval process for things like lost wages and medical costs. Once her ofÀce receives a request from a crime victim, a police report request and veriÀcation form are sent to local law enforcement to verify

the victim·s eligibilty. Any health care providers the victim lists on the request also receive a veriÀcation form, and they return it with an itemized statement of services they completed.

Once all paperwork is returned, the Crime Victim Assistance Division determines a causal relationship between the requested damages and the crime.

“We have a quality-control system that once the compensation specialist recommends the payment, it goes through another compensation specialist who reviews the paperwork and signs off on it a second time,” said Walker.

Gentry contested A.S. and T.C.·s requests because she couldn·t verify if the damages were a direct result of Hansen·s criminal conduct by looking at the restitution documents.

Walker explained that Iowa Code stipulates her ofÀce cannot release victims· medical information, instead pointing to the scrutinizing system of checks and balances each

request receives.

“I suppose that·s why I·ve been called as a witness,” said Walker. “I can look through these Àles and look through the medical records and state under oath that I·m certain that these are crime-related.”

A signiÀcant portion of the hearing was spent clarifying the various dates of each restitution request.

Gentry discovered a data-entry error on one of the victim·s forms that stated the crime began on Feb. 1, 2011, but it actually began in June 2011.

The error was irrelevant because no claims were Àled during that fourmonth time frame, but Gentry wanted an explanation about how Walker·s ofÀce dated each request.

“This was an ongoing thing.

When the application comes in, there was no speciÀc date, and we have to have a date to put in the computer,” Walker said. “The date that they list on the application may be just a month and year from there to another date and month or year. So, we just put the 1st as the date.”

Walker veriÀed each contested restitution request for T.C. and A.S., which amounted to a total of $2,238.75 and $6,589.62, respectively. The restitution claims were Àled both before and after Hansen·s May 2013 guilty plea, which Walker said was typical.

“If it·s a crime that was ongoing and it was not discovered or disclosed until a couple years later, and that victim had been in counseling before that, we can determine at

most times with the medical records that it is also crime-related,” she said.

The hearing entered into closed session in the judge·s chambers following Gentry·s witness examination. Weiland explained this was standard procedure because they planned to discuss details of victims· medical records, which are strickened from the public record.

sentencing.

“The probation ofÀcer has noted that there have been several complaints about this kind of activity,” said Krisko. “I·m not speaking to whether or not they·re true.

However, the fact that the defendant has, almost since being placed on probation, had this issue discussed with his probation ofÀcer and he still chose to do what he did on this day makes it a violation.”

The probation ofÀcer never testiÀed, however. Hansen chose to seek delayed sentencing after Weiland made her ruling, which is his right under Iowa law.

Krisko was upset with the sentencing delay and asked that Hansen be taken into custody.

“I would note that an allegation, or not even an allegation, but now a Ànding of a violation of contact with a victim in sex case is pretty damning,” said Krisko. “He should not still be out walking the streets after that·s been determined. We have a victim in this court who was placed in fear based on what Mr. Hansen did knowing that he wasn·t supposed to – have contact. That·s been determined now.” Weiland agreed, and ordered Hansen into the custody of the Franklin County Sheriff·s OfÀce.

He was placed on $5,000 cash-only bond, which he posted immediately that morning.

A sentencing hearing to determine Hansen·s punishment for violating his probation was set for April 14.

AGWSR From Page 1

Jimmerson said he was attracted to the AGWSR position for a number of reasons, including the proximity to Parkersburg, where his wife grew up. He said this was a good year to make the change, as his oldest daughter is graduating from high school and his younger twin daughters are still freshmen.

“I·m really looking forward to that next challenge,” he said. “I wanted to make sure my twins were on board with this, and they were very excited about it. Having their blessing and having my wife·s blessing were important.”

Jimmerson added that he looked forward to working and living in a small town andwas excited for his daughters to get that feeling as well.

“Both my wife and I grew up in small towns and like the idea of our daughters having that same feeling,” he said.

Jimmerson was selected after two days of interviews with Ànalists. He replaces Steve Lane, who has served as the district·s interim superintendent since March of last year. Other Ànalists included West Harrison Superintendent/K-3 Principal Joel Foster, River Valley Superintendent Donita Joens and Eagle Grove Elementary Princi-

pal Michael Kruger. In all there were 21 applicants for the position.

The new superintendent said he did a lot of research before even applying for the AGWSR position and is excited about working with a school board and district that he has heard good things about.

“I talked to several people and they had nothing but great things to say,” he said. “They have a very supportive school board and very supportive community, and those are all things that you look for.”

“The interviews reafÀrmed everything I had heard,” he said. “That made me want the job even more. Obviously we were thrilled when we got that call.”

Jimmerson talked brieÁy about the challenges of being a superintendent in a smaller school district that is seeing declining enrollment, noting that you want to provide programs and opportunities to students while remaining Àscally responsible.

“I think the (school) board has done a really nice job of trying to be proactive about those things,” he said.

“That·s the biggest challenge.”

Jimmerson ofÀcially starts at AGWSR July 1.

SUPERVISORS From Page 1

This particular segment crosses over the Rolling Prairie Trail in Marion Township two miles east of Coulter.

“From our standpoint, as long as they don·t put a pole in the trail, we·d be OK with it,” said board Chair Jerry Plagge.

Perkins said each mile of power line typically requires Àve towers to support it, and he believed leaving the trail tower-free wouldn·t be a problem.

“I·m 99 percent sure they wouldn·t put a pole right in the trail,” he said.

However, the supervisors wanted 100 percent certainty. They also believed there needed to be a clause that requires RICL to repair any damages to the trail during construction of the line. The easement would be 145 feet wide, and the county would receive $3,531 in reimbursement fees if the supervisors approve it.

Perkins was conÀdent those terms could get added to the agreement, but he warned the supervisors about other potential inconveniences during construction.

“There would be a percentage of time when they·re stringing wire and we would have to close it down.

That·s very dangerous,” he explained. “It·s just a safety concern.”

The supervisors asked Perkins to revise the document with their requests so they could send it to the county attorney for his opinion.

“We·re in no hurry right now. We don·t have any deadline, so we·re pretty Áexible,” said Perkins.

Prior to Perkins· visit, the supervisors heard an interesting update from Brody Bertram, Franklin County

Conservation. Bertram reported an unnamed local hauling business had been seen illegally dumping cardboard and other items at the recycling drop-off at the Conservation Department near the fairgrounds. The drop-off is funded by rural tax dollars only and is strictly off limits for businesses and city residents.

“It may be a recent thing. The last two or three months, it has been more full,” said Bertram.

The supervisors were surprised at the news. Bertram offered a list of suggestions to help curb the problem that ranged from hiring a daytime attendant to installing cameras to catch delinquent dumpers.

“I don·t want to get super crazy with looking at license plates, because I was a Franklin County resident living here with Butler County plates for four years,” Bertram said. “And who wants to go through hundreds of hours of video? But when it·s a truck with a business logo on it, that·s a little different.”

Bertram also said he·s seen numerous city residents dump recyclables at the drop-off, but said there was little he could do. The supervisors suggested he check with Police Chief Bob Schaefer to see if there were any illegal dumping laws on the books since the site lies within Hampton city limits. If not, they told him to contact the county attorney and see if it was possible to develop some sort of Àne.

“I think it·s one thing if a city resident abuses it, but it·s another if the business abuses it,” said Jerry Plagge.

“I can·t believe they·d have the intestinal fortitude to do something like that.”

Get Your Plate in Shape The importance of developing sound eating habits From Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield

Are your healthy eating habits dormant during the cold winter months? With spring quickly approaching and March proclaimed National Nutrition Month, now is the perfect time to get back on track when it comes to making better food choices.

The good news is that you don’t have to abandon your favorite snacks entirely. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), eating less is the key to weight management and disease prevention.

Consider these simple and practical tips from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to consume fewer calories while still being able to enjoy the foods you love: • When planning your meals and snacks throughout the day, consider the appropriate number of calories you should consume.

• Avoid oversized portions by using smaller plate, bowls and glasses. Switch from the standard 10-inch plate to a smaller appetizer-size plate.

Brought to you by:

For more information on portion sizes, go to choosemyplate.gov.

• Cook at home instead of eating out. This allows you to balance what’s on your plate, but also enables you to choose healthier fats, less sodium and increase the ¿ber in your diet.

• Steer clear of empty calories.

Fruit juices, coffee beverages and soft drinks are full of added sugar and can add up fast.

• Keep track of your daily intake. Food logging can be a great tool for keeping track of the foods you eat and ensuring you stay within your calorie limit.

While these guidelines may seem straightforward, some Americans believe eating healthy also means a higher grocery bill. These are dif¿cult economic times. Food prices have escalated and family budgets are being stretched.

However, a nutrition plan that includes fruits and vegetables is actually less expensive longterm than buying fast food or less healthy alternatives at the supermarket.

Wellmark Medical Director Dr. Bill Jagiello says that healthy eating habits can have short- and long-term bene¿ts, adding, “In addition to an improved outlook on life, maintaining a healthy relationship with food and losing weight can help prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, which is often caused by obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.”

Here are some ways you can tighten your belt: • Bring a lunch to work instead of eating out. It’s easier to ¿ght temptation and control portion sizes that way.

• Buy cheaper beef cuts such as the beef round.

• Buy whole chickens and cut them up into batches for cooking. Divide them into servings and save the leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer for future meals.

• Visit your local famer’s market. Produce that is in season and locally grown usually costs less.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

The medicinal marijuana tightrope Though any hopes of passing a bill this year are dead, it appears Iowa·s lawmakers have overwhelming support to move forward next session with the proposed legalization of medicinal marijuana here in the Hawkeye State.

The topic has been a hot-button issue during this year·s General Assembly. Senator Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, introduced a bill earlier this session that would have legalized marijuana for medical purposes only. Bolkcom·s proposal made headlines statewide and even drew the attention of a hesitant Gov. Terry Branstad. The Àveterm governor was cautious to jump on board, and felt legalizing the drug “just for a few people” was short-sighted and unnecessary.

It seems the bill was greeted with similar uncertainty at the Capitol when legislators failed to act on Bolkcom·s proposal, instead opting to study the issue in a bipartisan committee and come back with the Àndings later.

Legalizing medicinal marijuana was too large of an issue for lawmakers to tackle during an election year, but it might not be as controversial as they think. Recent data released by Quinnipiac University Poll found that Iowans favor legalizing the drug for medical use by an 81 to 17 percent margin. The study, which polled 1,411 registered voters in Iowa, also discovered incredible bipartisan support for the idea. At least 68 percent of every party approved changing Iowa·s current laws to allow medicinal marijuana.

Lawmakers would have seen very little backlash during the November election if they had moved forward with medicinal marijuana legislation this year. However, that doesn·t mean they need to put all their eggs in one basket. Law changes like this take considerable amounts of time to develop, and implementing safeguards against fraudulent use is of the utmost importance. The Legislature·s slow pace is a wise decision as we progress on a topic that·s gained momentum across the country during the past decade.

Twenty states and Washington D.C. have established programs that monitor the use of legalized medicinal marijuana. Proponents laude the drug·s ability to soothe chronic pain for patients afÁicted by various long-term illnesses ranging from cancer to arthritis. It·s received the backing of many doctors and others in the medical industry, and it seems like it will only become more and more common in the immediate future. If nearly half of the 50 states can implement functioning medicinal marijuana programs, why can·t Iowa do the same?

By no means does Iowa need to jump the gun and join the ranks of Colorado or Washington by allowing the all-out use of recreational marijuana. Such a change is as unreasonable as it is improbable. However, our lawmakers are taking the right path by biding their time and gathering all possible sources of information before changing current policy. This is an issue that has come up before and it will undoubtedly resurface again. As made evident by the Quinnipiac poll, Iowan·s aren·t nearly as opposed to medicinal marijuana like they have been in the past. Implementing a system to monitor its medical use like other prescription drugs is well within our legislators· capability if the timing is right and the proper safeguards are in place. If marijuana can truly help those afÁicted by chronic illness, it·s probably time to allow them the right to obtain that medicine and at least ease some of their unimaginable pain.

Madness, indeed By now, your March Madness bracket is probably shot to pieces just like everyone else·s in America. This year·s NCAA Tournament has been nothing short of amazing, with enough upsets to keep even the most casual of sports fan glued to their TV for hours on end.

Our state has deÀnitely enjoyed some strong representation this season. Both the men·s and women·s teams from Iowa and Iowa State earned bids to their respective tournaments this year, and it·s given nationwide viewers the opportunity to catch some of the great basketball we·ve enjoyed here during the 201314 season. The ISU men captured a thrilling victory over perennial power North Carolina to catapult themselves into the Sweet 16 on Sunday, and the Hawkeye ladies picked up an opening round victory in their tournament that same day. Unfortunately, the Iowa men and Cyclone women didn·t fair so favorably in their Àrst tournament games and bowed out early.

It always seems like we·re left wanting more, but it·s been a great season for fans of both allegiances this year. Honestly, it·s just nice to see our state·s programs excelling at the national level together like this. Here·s to hoping those Cyclones keep rolling and those Hawks keep Áying this year and in the years to come. Winning is always fun, and it will only strengthen the already strong rivalry between our state·s two biggest schools when next season rolls around.

Saluting Dr. Norman Borlaug As the month of March wraps up, so do our students· winter sports activities. I want to extend a hearty congratulations to all of our wrestling, boys basketball, and girls basketball athletes who had great success at the state tournament! We now turn our attention to spring sports and I look forward to following the continued achievements of our student athletes.

I recently enjoyed reading an article entitled, “The Iowan Who Saved A Billion Lives,” in Iowa History Journal, a magazine focused on preserving Iowa history and presenting it in both an educational and entertaining way. The article celebrates the legacy and global inspiration of Dr. Norman Borlaug- a true Iowa treasure.

Joining Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Elie Wiesel, Dr. Borlaug is one of only three Americans to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, the Congressional Gold Medal, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was born in Cresco, Iowa 100 years ago and is commonly referred to as “The Man Who Saved A Billion Lives” and “Agriculture·s Greatest Spokesperson” due to his efforts to revolutionize global food production and to help Àght global hunger.

Dr. Borlaug spent his life researching and developing high-yield, disease-resistant wheat varieties that are now used to feed hungry people around the globe.

Borlaug·s education began in a one-room schoolhouse in Howard County that he attended through eighth grade. His education continued at Cresco High School, where he excelled in athletics, especially wrestling.

Following high school, Borlaug applied to the University of Minnesota, but failed the entrance

exam. Although some believed UNDER THE he lacked science and math skills, after much perseverance, GOLDEN was accepted into the DOME, TOO Borlaug University of Minnesota two years later.

Linda The University now proudly Upmeyer houses a building named in his honor.

In 1986, 16 years after being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to help Àght global hunger, Borlaug created the World Food Prize to recognize individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality and quantity of food in the world.

In 1990, John Ruan, a Des Moines businessman, established the World Food Prize Foundation located in Des Moines. Each October, in addition to awarding its latest recipient, the World Food Prize hosts the Borlaug Dialogue, a multi-day event that brings people together from more than 65 countries to address cuttingedge issues related to global food security and nutrition.

The unveiling of the statue on Tuesday not only falls on what would have been Borlaug·s 100th birthday, but is also National Agriculture Day - a very Àtting time to honor Dr. Borlaug and his impact on global agriculture.

To view a live broadcast of the historical unveiling ceremony, visit http://iowaborlaugstatue. org/. As the weather continues to warm and we approach adjournment, we will remain focused on the priorities of Iowans. Please contact me with your feedback on the issues you care about at linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or 515-281-4618.

Are you ready for more movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Well ready or not, here they come.

Maybe.

Hopefully.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has hinted that the company may up their big screen productions to three, maybe four, movies a year.

Nothing is set in stone but I think this is the best decision Marvel Studios could make.

Marvel Studios has done well in establishing a movie universe that is, at this point, more interesting to me than the comic books they are based on. But there has been a glaring issue in their second phase of Àlms.

Phase One, as we all know, began with Iron Man, re-introduced The Hulk, introduced Thor and Captain America, and brought it all together with The Avengers.

Phase Two, however, has been less groundbreaking. “Iron Man 3” and “Thor: The Dark World” hit the screens last year. This year we have “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Phase Two concludes in 2015 with “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

Out of Àve movies in Phase Two, four of them are sequels. Only “Guardians of the Galaxy” brings in a new leading character.

And don·t expect Phase Three to be much better. We know that AntMan will Ànally hit the big screen in late 2015, but 2016 starts with a third Captain America movie. Feige says that Marvel Studios already has things planned out through 2017 so sticking with their two-movies-ayear schedule, that·s three movies unaccounted for in Phase Three.

You can bet that two of those slots will be claimed by the third Thor and Avengers movies, leaving one wildcard spot open. The most likely contender for that spot is a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy. I have a feeling that movie is going to make so much money that Marvel Studios won·t have a choice but to jump for a sequel.

This is not encouraging news for people looking forward to seeing new characters get their own movies.

Especially characters that aren·t white men. After all, people have been clamoring for a Black Widow movie since 2011. Unless Marvel decides to start making more than two movies a year it will be 2018 before Scarlett Johannson even has a chance at a Àlm to call her own.

(Prediction Time: I·m fairly certain that Marvel Studios will be killing off Captain America in 2016, and that Sebastian Stan will take Chris Evan·s spot as the leading man in that franchise. A Black Widow movie would be a perfect opportunity to ease the audience into that transition.)

As long as sequels continue to serve as virtual licenses to print money, you can bet Marvel Studios will continue to milk them until the well is dry. This has created the unusual situation where the success of a new property reduces the chances of seeing more new properties. If “Ant-Man” is a smash hit, that·s two more sequels taking up spots in the schedule, pushing other characters like Black Panther and Captain Marvel further down the line.

And you can bet that if Robert Downy Jr. wasn·t asking for enough money to be as wealthy as Tony Stark, Iron Man 4 would already be conÀrmed.

Increasing the number of movies they put out is really the only option Marvel Studios has if they want to expand their stable of franchises.

Really, it·s just a natural extension of the business practice that made their comics successful in the Àrst place.

And unlike comics, there·s little danger of the movies becoming the convoluted mess of modern day books. If anything, its satellite programs like “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and “The Defenders” that will muck up the works.

I·m okay with four movies a year.

In fact, I think Marvel Studios could probably push it up to six before they risked oversaturation. After all, we·re talking about a style of storytelling that was designed to release multiple chapters on a weekly basis.

Marvel isn·t going to run out of characters to make movies about any time soon, and Odin help them if they ever get the rights to SpiderMan and the X-Men back. As long as their core franchises continue to be successful they can afford to take a risk on other characters.

Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and really wants to see a Nova movie.

All open enrollment for individual health insurance ends March 31 With the arrival of March, Iowans no longer can procrastinate when it comes to health insurance. When the annual open enrollment period ends on March 31, most people will be unable to purchase individual health coverage from any source until the next open enrollment period, set to begin Nov. 15, 2014.

“It has been widely publicized that the open enrollment period for the new Health Insurance Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov ends on March 31, but most people are unaware that the term open enrollment period applies not only to the ofÀcial Health Insurance Marketplace, but also to all individual health insurance policies,” reports Brenda Schmitt, family Ànance specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “That means that outside of the designated open enrollment period, most people who want to purchase health insurance on the individual market will be unable to purchase health insurance anywhere.”

The 2014 open enrollment period was set for a full six months to provide time for people to learn about the new health insurance system. In the future, however, the annual open enrollment period will be shorter, about two months starting in autumn each year, Schmitt said.

People who experience major life events, including events that cause them to lose their health insurance, will be eligible for a “special enrollment period,” which lasts 30-60 days. Examples of eligible life events include loss of insurance due to job loss or divorce, marriage, and birth or adoption of a child. As a result, people who have access to group insurance have no need to fear being left

without options if they unexpectedly lose their group coverage. To learn more, go to www.healthcare.gov and search “special enrollment period.”

Group plans will continue to be open to new group members; for example, newly-hired employees will be able to enroll in the employer·s health insurance plan regardless of what time of the year they are hired or during their employer·s annual open enrollment. But those who purchase insurance in the individual market must do so this month or be prepared to wait until the fall 2014 open enrollment period for 2015.

Bartholomae urges anyone who is currently without health insurance to take action this month to enroll. Iowans who are concerned about cost may be eligible for Ànancial assistance in paying their premiums, she said, and free insurance is available through the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan to those meeting income guidelines ($15,282 for a single individual or $31,322 for a family of four). Hawk-I (for children) and Medicaid also continue to be available, Bartholomae noted.

Free assistance with health insurance enrollment is available. Find help at https://localhelp.healthcare. gov or at www.getcoveredamerica.org. ISU Extension and Outreach offers informational workshops about the changes brought by the Affordable Care Act. To learn more, go to http://www.extension.iastate.edu/humansciences/health-insurance or contact any ISU Extension and Outreach county ofÀce to Ànd local workshops.

Johnny For Short.” So for a Rev. Shane Philpott of¿ciating while he was called “Johnny For Burial: Short.” Later this was shortened Hampton Cemetery to “Johnny” and that is how Clyde became known to some as “Johnny Walker.” Clyde attended school at Richland Center Country School in rural Franklin County.

When he was discharged from the Army in 1946 he was awarded the Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, World War II Victory Ribbon, American Theater Ribbon, and the European African Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon. Clyde and Bernice were married on May 7, 1946 in Charles City, Iowa and have celebrated 67 anniversaries. Bernice has always called him Johnny. Clyde was baptized and conÀrmed at Grace Lutheran Church in Reading, Penn.

City Hall has had many inquiries this year regarding snow removal from City sidewalks.

There have been some concerns with children walking on the streets instead of the sidewalks to reach the school bus and the elderly using the streets to travel to the grocery store.

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

STATE-WIDE CRED Indoor meet boasts great talent

BY KRISTI NIXON WAVERLY – They came from far and wide.

Looking at the numerous schools which traveled to the Wartburg Coed Indoor Track & Field meet on Tuesday, March 18, they were from as far east as Cascade, from the west in Fort Dodge, the furthest north was Lake Mills and as far south as Montezuma. There were also plenty of schools from around the state inbetween.

But both area schools HamptonDumont and West Fork competed with the best of them.

Although none came away with an individual title, Ànishing among the top-10 at this meet was indeed a feat and several brought home topthree Ànishes in the meet in which no team scores were kept.

Hampton-Dumont·s Paige Wragge took third in the highlycompetitive 55-meter dash that saw a photo Ànish between Montezuma·s Katie Maschmann and Lake Mills· Makenzie Thorson while taking on H-D·s Àrst meet of the season among the girls.

“The meet was an overall success with a lot of great individual and relay performances,” HamptonDumont girls track coach Brandon Morton said. “This was a nice start to the season for all of the athletes· Àrst meet.”

Hers was the top Ànish for the H-D girls along with the 4x200 team that included Wragge, Shelby Tidman, Elvira Cavazos and Jessica Speake. The meet also included personal bests from shot putters Maddie Mason, which was good for fourth at 34 feet, 1.5 inches, and Brooke Benning (25-6.75).

Taking Àfth for the Bulldogs was a distance effort by Jordan Prantner in the 3,000 in 12 minutes, 14.28 seconds, a sixth-place Ànish for Jessica Speake in the 400 with freshman Cassy Miller taking ninth in the same event, while the distance medley team of Nadilee Eiklenborg, Kennedy Wohlford, Kiara

Donaldson and Prantner rounded out the top-10 in 5:01.75.

West Fork·s 4x200 team of Lindsey Peterson, Madison Shreckengost, Courtney Larson and Taylor Logan edged the Bulldogs, Ànishing second in 1:55.11, a little more than a half-second faster, which was the Warhawks· top Ànish on the day.

Peterson·s effort in the 55-meter hurdles Ànal was good for third at 9.35 after running 9.09 in the

preliminaries. Larson also posted a personal record in the high jump at 4-11 to take third overall while H-D·s Shelby Tidman was in a fourway tie for seventh at 4-5.

Among the top boys· Ànishes was another high jump effort, this time from the Bulldogs· Bo Brass.

He cleared 5-8 for a Àve-way tie for third place. Also Ànishing in the top-10 for coach Dan Aalbers· squad was the 4x800 team of Aaron Meyer, Gus Jacome, Will Alert and Chase Skarpness in 9:28.65.

H-D·s Brandon Westendorf just missed qualifying for the boys· 55-meter Ànal, clocking in at 7.16 in the prelims.

Jacob Hansen·s sixth-place Ànish in the 3,200 was the top place for the Warhawk boys, completing the race in 10:47.96.

Other top Ànishes for West Fork girls included a Àfth-place Ànish in the 4x400 by Larson, M. Shreckengost, Sydney Shreckengost and Peterson; a sixth-place Ànish for Maya Rowe, who was right behind Prantner in the 3,000 while teammate Maddison

The first race at Martinsville Speedway was run on September 7, 1947 and Robert “Red” Bryon won $500 out of a $2,000 purse. NASCAR was formed in 1948 and Martinsville Speedway ran its first NASCAR race on July 4th of that year. At slightly more than half a mile, Martinsville Speedway is the shortest track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Circuit but it has 800-foot straights, turns banked at only 12 degrees and has been called “two drag strips with a turnaround on each end.” Jimmie Johnson was the pole winner and race winner in last year’s race. Current points leader, Carl Edwards, finished 15th in this race last year. A Chevrolet has won the past six races at Martinsville.

Racing News NASCAR is planning on making significant engine package changes in 2015 to extend the life of Sprint Cup powerplants and reduce horsepower. And along with engine changes, there likely will be aerodynamic and tire changes for the Cup cars in 2015 as well. The reduction would be in the neighborhood of 75 to 100 horsepower.

Currently, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series engines make about 860-900 horsepower at most tracks. Discussions are still in the early stages, NASCAR Vice President of Competition and Racing Development Robin Pemberton said.

Any change in the engine package likely would necessitate other changes as well.

In a race that saw tire problems turn the contest upsidedown, Kyle Busch won Sunday’s Auto Club 400. It was a green-white-checkered-flag finish that took the event six laps past its scheduled distance. Busch passed StewartHaas Racing teammates Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart on the next-to-last lap, bringing rookie Kyle Larson with him.

Kyle Busch crossed the finish line 0.214 seconds ahead of the 21-year-old Larson, who had won the NASCAR Nationwide Series race one day earlier. The victory was Busch’s second straight and third overall at Fontana, his first of the season and the 29th of his career. Kurt Busch, who like Stewart took right-side tires only on the final pit stop, finished third.

DJ Omar Blanco pleases the crowd during the Sweetheart Swirl Dance in February.

In the H-D High School there are many talented kids. To one student however, it is not a talent, but a pleasing task. But ask anyone else at H-D and they would say that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great talent to have. H-D junior Omar Blanco is a DJ and loves what he does. Omar has worked as a DJ for almost Ă&#x20AC;YH \HDUV QRZ DQG LQ doing so, has been across most of the state of Iowa and parts of Minnesota.

He has worked as a DJ for events ranging from private birthday parties, and weddings, to high school proms and in nightclubs.

been in front of a crowd; let alone, talked in front of 150 middle schoolers. In fact, I committed to being the DJ at the dance without having any equipment.â&#x20AC;?

Music has always been part of Omarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. He recently found out that he has a cousin in Mexico who is also a DJ. While being a DJ requires a great amount of skill and natural talent, it does not require any education or training. Omar says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to learn to compromise with the audience. I get a constant request of songs. There is only so much time in a dance so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play every single song. The best to do is read the crowd.â&#x20AC;? He continues that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to please everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go to many dances where the sound is

One minute Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be listening to pop or country and the next Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be listening

to techno or even classical music. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until my sophomore year I realized I wanted to pursue a career in music. I plan on starting my own music label, Evolution Entertainment Studios, and promoting the next â&#x20AC;&#x153;kingâ&#x20AC;? of music.

EASY AS PIE

By Caitlin Dombrowski Every year on March 14 Mrs. Bergeson and the rest of the math teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; math classes celebrate Pi Day. For extra credit, students bring, pie, cookies, doughnuts, and anything else round, and their class measures the circumference and radius of two of the treats. Then they get to enjoy all the treats while people compete to see who can memorize the most decimal places of the number pi.

The contest became a big deal in 2011 when Mrs. Bergeson started giving prizes and recognition for the top three students who were able to recite the most places.

That year, the winner was $QVOH\ .DW] ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;IW\ seven places. Second place went to Jason Uribe with forty-four places,

and third place was Dalton Hanson who memorized thirty-nine places.

In 2012 the winners were 7ULVWRQ 6KLUN ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;IW\ Trevor Riggins with forty and Kara Welsher, Skylar Buss, and Christen Foster who all got over 30 places.

H-D Drama Club performs Variety Show

PHOTOS BY TRAVIS FISCHER

BY TRAVIS FISCHER It was an evening of comedy and song as the Hampton-Dumont Drama Club performed their variety show at the Church of the Living Word auditorium on Saturday.

The drama club featured performances by seniors Omar Blanco, Christen Foster, Merk Hershey-Guerrero, Allison Milbrandt; junior Bailey Condon; sophomores Grace Bollhagen, Rebecca Buchanan, John Krull, Edgar Romo, Chase Skarpness; and freshmen Hannah Ady, Brianna Angstman, Jason Tello, and Mahlon Miller.

“They·ve just been really fun to work with,” said Director Tammy Morris.

“They are very committed to theater. All of them really like it.”

With only Àve weeks to put the show together, the drama club rushed to memorize sixteen different skits and songs to Àll the show, including two skits written by drama club members themselves. Many members of the fourteen person club had to change costumes multiple times throughout the evening as the skits required a variety of colorful characters.

“It was a great experience that brought out things in us we didn·t know we had,” said junior Bailey Condon.

From Jason Tello·s “Doctor Zucchini” to Allison Millbrandt·s “Float Attendant” and the cross-dressing antics Edgar Romo, drama students brought a number of colorful characters to life in their sketches.

“For my last performance of senior year, I think it went really well and I wouldn·t have it any other way,” said senior Merk Hershey-Guerrero. “I·m sad to be done.”

Rebecca Buchanan and Allison Milbrandt’s “Sitich in Time” clothing shop strives for a transparent business model.
