Franklin County observes Veterans Day last week

BY NICK PEDLEY Local military veterans were feted during three ceremonies at Latimer and Hampton Nov. 11 on a coldy and icy Veterans Day. The day got started with a program at the G.A.R. Memorial Hall in Hampton. Church of the Living Word pastor and Army veteran Jacob Rahrig delivered a short speech to the roughly 20 guests in attendance.

Rahrig emphasized the selfless sacrifice America’s veterans gave during their service to the country.

“I think we need to realize we are a blessed people and a blessed nation,” he said. “I’m thankful that I live in a country ¿lled with people that are willing to lay down anything and everything and show people that their life isn’t all about themselves.”

Hampton Legion Commander Jim Zacharias followed up on Rahrig’s remarks with a short dedication to Americans that died during conÀicts

ranging from the Revolutionary War to Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We hear the saying ‘Some gave all and all gave some.’ But you gotta realize that the one that gave some gave all that he had, but he was just a lucky one that came back. The other ones paid the full price,” said Zacharias.

Following the program at the G.A.R. Memorial Hall, students at CAL Community School hosted a special ceremony in the gymnasium featuring music, speeches and even a short skit in honor of local veterans.

CAL teacher and retired U.S. Navy veteran Mark Robinson spoke about his 20 years of service and about America’s role as world power.

He highlighted the positive inÀuence the United States has had on countries shackled by tyrannical leaders and oppressive governments.

“It’s an interesting thing. The United States is the only other naSee VETERANS DAY: Page 2

Moore sells Hampton dental practice

BY NICK PEDLEY Long-time dentist Dr. Bill Moore has retired after more than 36 years in Hampton.

Moore ¿nalized the sale of his practice to Dr. Jake Sorensen last Friday.

Sorensen has six years of experience in dentistry and of¿cially took over operations in Hampton on Monday. He also has an of¿ce located in Clear Lake and will be assisted here by Dr. Jonathan Smiley.

The local dentist of¿ce has been owned and operated by the Moore family since 1946. Moore’s father, Robert, opened the practice in Hampton after serving in the Navy and eventually turned over control to his son.

“On behalf of my late father and myself, I would like to thank our patients who put their con¿dence and trust in our dental care for the past 68 years,” Moore wrote in a release. “It has been an honor to be your dentist.”

Moore said he would miss his loyal patients and staff the most. He has seen multiple generations of local families pass through his of¿ce over the years, which he felt was special.

“The 36 1/2 years absolutely Àew by,” he said. “This of¿ce staff is extraordinary and I will really, really miss them. I’m going to truly miss the patients too, because there was a lot of camaraderie there.”

Cubicles in the new Sukup Manufacturing facility were shown during a tour on Friday afternoon. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

BY TRAVIS FISCHER New York Yankees’ manager Joe Girardi visited Franklin County last week as Sukup Manufacturing and the NIACC Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center held an advanced manufacturing symposium on Friday, Nov. 14.

Held in the company’s newly built headquarters, the symposium invited business leaders, educators, legislators and students to discuss Iowa’s manufacturing industry.

Following an introduction from NIACC President Dr. Steve Schulz, the event began with a presentation from Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) director Debi Durham, who presented an update on the newly re-elected Gov. Terry Branstad’s economic plan for Iowa.

“It’s all about creating jobs and raising family incomes,” said Durham.

In 2011, Governor Branstad used his executive authority to create the Iowa Partnership for Economic Progress (IPEP), a board comprised of Iowa busi-

“We’re streamlined. We can move deals through in 30 days,” said Durham. “We did it by implementing LEAN manufacturing principals. We actually used what you guys use every day.”

“A Charlie Brown Christmas” coming to Hampton in December

BY NICK PEDLEY Local residents will be treated to a popular holiday classic next month when “A Charlie Brown Christmas” hits the stage at the Windsor Theatre.

The production is a joint effort between the Franklin County Arts Council (FCAC) and the Young Franklin Players. The cast is comprised entirely with children from the CAL, Hampton-Dumont and West Fork school districts, which is a ¿rst for the FCAC – children typ-

H-D board CAL board accepts Widen’s resignation; discusses discusses future of football potential North Side renovations

BY NICK PEDLEY Future building upgrades to North Side Elementary topped discussion at a short meeting of the Hampton-Dumont Board of Education Monday night.

The board unanimously approved a contract with two companies to design and implement a facility improvement plan at North Side. The H-D kindergarten class is moving into the building next year to alleviate space issues at South Side, but some renovations need to take place before fall 2015.

The two companies will identify North Side’s most pressing needs and develop a comprehensive blueprint for future improvements. H-D Superintendent Todd Lettow said making the building more energy ef¿cient with new windows and other enhancements could top the list, as could other things like replacing light ¿xtures and the ceiling.

“Those are the big ticket items,” Lettow said. “I feel more comfortable with a professional company compiling a list and plan rather than me going in and just picking things.”

Other smaller items like technology upgrades will most likely need attention before next year, Lettow added. The district currently has roughly $1 million in reserves to dedicate towards future renovations at North Side.

“We’re going to keep this building for the foreseeable future, so we want it running as best as we can,” Lettow said.

The board switched gears and unanimously approved a new contract with the Church of the Living Word following the North Side discussion. The agreement allows H-D to continue using the church’s auditorium, gym and other facilities at a rate of $12,800 per year. The district uses the building for plays and concerts.

“It’s quite an arrangement to be able to use it for all that for that price,” Lettow said.

Next month’s board meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 15. The start time was moved up 30 minutes due to the Hampton-Dumont 6-12 Holiday Instrumental Concert that evening.

In other business, the board discussed the future of the school’s football program. CAL hasn’t won a game since 2007 and currently owns a 63-game losing streak, which is a state record.

The board felt community input was needed before proceeding on the matter. Public meetings will be scheduled in the near future to gauge opinions and gather options about moving forward.

“These men and women that are sitting up here have made great sacri¿ces for the freedom of you and I,” he said. “If we want to do something great with our lives, it’s gonna cost us.

SUKUP do and how they are preparing for the future.

Emily Schmitt, Sukup Manufacturing’s general council, explained the reasoning behind constructing the newly finished headquarters building.

“We’ve been perceived as a farm bin manufacturer and since 2001 we’ve grown eight times,” said Schmitt. “We needed a main of¿ce to be able to support our of¿ce staff to grow in the commercial market.”

Both before and after the day’s presentations, guests were invited to take a tour of Sukup’s new building.

At 43,000 sq ft, Sukup’s new headquarters is nearly double the size of their previous building.

The ¿rst steel of the building was set in April 2013 and was ¿nished little more than a year later. Many of the building’s rooms are open, displaying the steel used in their construction, which was made by Sukup Manufacturing themselves. Creating 800,000 lbs. of steel was not only a cost saving measure, but also a way to promote their product in their own of¿ces.

“We like to make it ourselves,” said Schmitt. “We don’t go out and outsource things. We like to ¿gure out how to make it ourselves and that’s how we’ve gotten so big.”

Mike Ralston, President of the

Steve Sukup’s new of¿ce features an electric design with a signed jersey by Joe Girardi. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE Iowa Association of Business and Industry, went over the three things that worry him about the future of manufacturing, starting with uncertainty in the government, speci¿cally using the Affordable Care Act as an example.

“I want to make it clear that this isn’t a political statement,” said Ralston, explaining that while he

wants to obey the law, there’s little clarity about what exactly the law is or what it will be in the future.

“There’s a great deal of uncertainty with that particular law and there’s a concern about the uncertainty part.”

Ralston was also concerned about the uncertainty about the global economy.

“There isn’t a manufacturer in this state that I’m aware of that doesn’t export,” said Ralston.

However, above and beyond both of those concerns is the issue that has been often repeated by manufacturers across the state—a shortage of workers.

“It doesn’t matter the size of the country, the industry it’s in, or where it’s located. Everybody is looking for people,” said Ralston.

This sentiment was mirrored by Dave Zrostik, CEO of Stellar Industries.

“I think the biggest challenge we’re going to have is recruiting new people,” said Zrostik.

The challenge of recruiting skilled workers was addressed not just by the manufacturing leaders, but also area educators. The next panel featured Greg Barcus of the Iowa Innovation Corp; Terry Schumaker, Dean of NIACC Continuing Education;

Randy Plikington of University of Northern Iowa; Ron Cox of Iowa State University; and Lynn Allendorf of the University of Iowa’s John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center.

In between good-natured ribbing about college athletics, the secondary education leaders shared the various ways they collaborate with each other to promote manufacturing as a career for their students.

Following the morning’s panel discussions, the audience enjoyed lunch before hearing from keynote speaker Joe Girardi, manager of the New York Yankees.

Girardi, a graduate from Northwestern University with a degree in Industrial Engineering, has a strong background in the Midwest and an appreciation for the manufacturing industry that supports the agriculture economy.

“My mother was the youngest of 15. She had eight brothers and they were all farmers,” said Girardi. “You’re helping my cousins, and their kids, and their grandkids.”

It wasn’t all industry talk though.

Girardi recounted tales of his professional baseball career and the mindset that allowed him to succeed.

“Every year I approached it as though it were the ¿rst job I’ve ever done,” he said.

As a manager, Girardi focuses his efforts on figuring out how to stop opposing hitters. And, like every other industry, technological advances have changed how the game is played.

“I don’t get thrown out of games now! It’s great! I still get my arguments in, but I don’t get thrown out of games!” he said. “Technology has changed the way we manage games.

It’s basically Fantasy Baseball now.”

Girardi’s engineering education was not wasted on the ¿eld either. He attributes some of his success to his ability to run the numbers and determine which player will perform best in speci¿c situations.

“Industrial engineering is about ¿guring out how to make systems run better,” he explained. “You know what? A team is a system.”

At the end of the panel, Girardi took questions. One asked what it was like to manage Derek Jeter.

“Easy in a lot of ways, because he’s an employee that comes to work and understands he has a responsibility. His responsibility is to prepare and be the best player he can be every day,” said Girardi. “Dif¿cult in the sense that if I wanted to give him a day off, he fought me like crazy. He would tell me to sleep on it.”

Girardi also shared with the audience his impression on the next baseball season for the Yankees.

“Our team is an un¿nished product right now. The offseason is really just starting, so I can’t tell you what we’re going to have,” he said. “Yeah, we need some help. We have to address some pitching issues because we’ve had some injuries. We’ve had some players that have left. But I like our team, I like our core, and I believe in our guys.”

Following the panel, Girardi stuck around for an auction of Yankees

memorabilia. Thousands of dollars were raised for NIACC’s Industrial Technology Division programs through the sale of signed jerseys from Girardi and Jeter.

A public policy roundtable between visiting state senators had to be canceled due to time. However, over all, the program hosts from NIACC and Sukup Manufacturing were happy with how the manufacturing conference turned out.

“You couldn’t ask for a better partner,” said Tim Putnam, Associate Director of the NIACC Pappajohn Center. “We brought to them the idea of doing and advanced manufacturing symposium and Steve Sukup and Emily really set to vision what we could do with this.”

“It couldn’t be any better,” said Eugene Sukup. “We’re so fortunate to have Joe come on. He gave such a good talk.”

Moore plans to spend more time with his family and travel during his retirement. He was confident Sorensen would pick up where he left off and continue strengthening the patient-dentist relationships he built throughout the years.

Sorensen is a 2009 graduate of the University of Iowa School of Dentistry. He will operate the Hampton of¿ce, now called Hampton Dental, with Smiley’s help in conjunction with his Clear Lake practice.

“I was absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to come to Hampton and I’m looking forward to helping out here,” Sorensen said.

Sorenson has a wife, Nichole, and three children – Jude, Thea and Isla.

He is the current North Central District Dental Association President and also serves on the board for the Mason City Free Dental Clinic. In 2010, he was named a Delta Dental of Iowa Loan Repayment award winner, which is a highly-competitive award given to dentists that practice in small towns.

Smiley is a graduate of the Southern Illinois School of Dental Medicine. He and his wife, Ashley, grew up in a small farming community and have spent the past few years working and raising their one-year-old son, Nolan, just outside of St. Louis.

“We are excited to provide high-quality, personalized dental care at Hampton Dental,” Sorensen wrote in a release. “We are pleased to be working with Dr. Bill’s staff to continue great care, not only for existing patients, but also for new patients.”

Give generously this holiday season This time of the year always gives us a chance to count our blessings and reÀect on life’s positives. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and there’s de¿nitely a lot to be thankful for here in Hampton and Franklin County.

We live in a friendly community that supports progress through numerous group-driven betterment initiatives. Fundraising is one of our strengths, and the generous nature of local businesses and individuals has helped many projects become a reality in the past. Things like the Hampton-Dumont Dog Pound project, Band Shell Park renovations and the Windsor Theatre restoration were made possible because residents joined together and encouraged them from start to ¿nish.

However, there’s still a few things that could use the community’s support as we look ahead. Multiple fundraisers are underway or in the works for future projects, and it’s important to keep them in mind when you break out the checkbook during the holiday season.

There’s quite a few worthy causes seeking donations this year. The Hampton Public Library is looking to raise $50,000 by Dec. 20 for repairs to its trademark curved brick wall, which has a bulge that needs ¿xing in the near future. The Hampton Community Christian Daycare is also seeking ¿nancial help for a 3,800 square foot building expansion. Daycare of¿cials are hoping to raise $200,000 by the end of the year to add two more rooms and a tornado shelter for three- and four-year-old preschool classes.

Both the library project and daycare expansion are important community investments aimed at strengthening educational resouces for residents in Hampton and the surrounding area.

Two other local betterment initiatives could also use your ¿nancial assistance this year. Latimer’s American Legion Riders Post 658 is accepting donations for a new Franklin County Freedom Rock in Coulter, and the Hampton Kiwanis Club is planning a project that would upgrade playground equipment at Harriman Park. Both projects hope to improve the aesthetic appeal of each community while simultaneously creating added attractions for visitors to the county. Parks are a big draw for families, and investing in them is important for future growth.

Of course, there’s plenty of other worthwhile causes that could use your help during the holidays. You can always donate to the Franklin County Food Pantry, the Hampton United Methodist Church’s Cleanup Closet and various other charity initiatives throughout the area.

Be it food, money, gifts or time, your donation and help is always welcomed by these valuable organizations – it can go a long way in making the holidays memorable for someone less fortunate than you. Please consider donating to one of these groups during the holidays and support someone during dif¿cult times.

There are many opportunities to give back and help out in the weeks and months ahead. If you’re in position to give this holiday season, do so generously. Your contribution will help make Hampton and Franklin County a better place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stop the EPA Letter to the Editor: In the past few decades, farmers have changed their farming practices to help the environment: tillage practices have been changed to save soil loss, the use of cover crops has reduced nutrient loss, and modern tiling practices have allowed water to drain away underground without harming the soil.

Farmers face a lot of scrutiny with the current government regulations on applying manure to ¿elds. Additional government regulation regarding farming practices is burdensome on farmers, especially at a time when commodity prices have fallen in the last few months.

The EPA has proposed new legislation that changes the de¿nition of the “Waters of the US.” The comment period has been extended to end in mid-November before this new ruling may go into effect. This new proposed ruling changes the de¿nition by giving more jurisdiction to the EPA, allowing it to rule over any kind of body of water.

This is the EPA’s third attempt to push this regulation. In the past, Supreme Court rulings have stopped the EPA’s last two attempts. This kind of over-regulation will hinder farming operations and could stall other commercial projects such as wind energy.

Letter to the Editor: How many of your readers know who Jonathan Gruber is? Only on Fox News and radio talk programs have I heard about him. Shame on network news and newspaper media for not reporting the news on him and shame on their unfair and biased reporting.

We want veterans to make Iowa their home In 2007, the Iowa Senate established a Veterans Affairs Committee, which has since approved wide-ranging initiatives to help veterans, service members and their families.

In 2010, Iowa became the first state to address the Department of Defense’s top 10 quality of life issues identi¿ed by USA 4 Military Families. The Iowa Veterans Council praised it as “the most successful year for veterans since the 1950s.”

We have followed it up with more initiatives recommended by veterans’ organizations and service groups across the state.

Earlier this year, Iowa became one of the ¿rst All-Star Vet States, a program that highlights opportunities and services to attract military families. Part of what earned Iowa the All-Star designation is our Home Base Iowa effort, which helps veterans ¿nd jobs, explore career paths and make a smooth transition to civilian life.

Home Base Iowa is also a hub for employers and communities that want to attract military families.

THE RAGAN REPORT

Amanda Ragan Companies are becoming Home Base Iowa Businesses by pledging jobs specifically for veterans, and counties are offering incentives to welcome veterans to Home Base Iowa Communities.

As part of Home Base Iowa, we approved legislation this year that will encourage more veterans to make Iowa their home by: • Cutting taxes for veterans by exempting military retirement pay from state individual income taxes.

Eligible veterans have given 20 or more years of military service to our country, and must be at least 55 or disabled.

• Providing veterans, their spouses and dependents in-state tuition at

Iowa’s colleges and universities.

• Encouraging our colleges and universities to give credit to veterans for military education, training and experience.

• Allowing relevant military training and experience to help veterans qualify for professional licensure.

• Encouraging private companies to follow the public sector’s lead by allowing a preference in hiring and promoting veterans.

• Eliminating the initial fee charged for special license plates associated with military service.

• Expanding eligibility for the Military Homeownership Assistance Program, which provides grants to veterans and service members purchasing a house in Iowa.

For more information on Home Base Iowa and how it is making our state home to more veterans and their families, go to www.HomeBaseIowa.org.

Upmeyer geared up for another term It is hard to believe but the holidays are almost here. I am looking forward to spending time with family over Thanksgiving and I hope you have the chance to do the same. With the early arrival of winter weather, we will have to throw an extra log on the ¿re.

I wanted to take a moment to thank the good people of Franklin, Butler and Cerro Gordo county for their support. It is humbling to have been elected to another term in the Iowa House of Representatives.

Serving in the House is an honor but it is made special because of the members of our community I get to work for.

Your encouragement, ideas and energy are what I take with me to the Capitol. I am proud to represent you and I am thankful for your support on election day.

Following the election, I was lucky enough to be re-elected by my peers as the Iowa House Majority Leader. This provides a unique chance to guide the discussion and

UNDER THE GOLDEN DOME, TOO

Linda Upmeyer the process in the legislature.

As the Majority Leader, I will continue to focus on the priorities that Iowans have said are important.

That starts with building on the progress we have made on the budget. It will be challenging, but if we stick with our common sense budgeting principles we will be successful.

I will be focused on delivering a world-class education for our students. We need to improve access to programs and training in high demand and good-paying jobs like advanced manufacturing. We should promote policies that make Iowa a more competitive work environment in order to increase career opportuni-

ties.

I also want to honor our veterans as they come home. One of the biggest struggles our nation’s heroes face is trying to ¿nd work. That is why I fully support the Home Base Iowa program and the Iowa companies who are participating. I was excited to see that Franklin County is working on becoming a Home Base Iowa Community. I am confident more counties will follow suit and roll the red carpet out for veterans.

Iowa should be the best state in the nation to raise a family, get an education and grow a business. Like I have in the past, I am willing to work with anyone on solutions that help us accomplish that goal.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to continue this work. I look forward to the next few years and what we can accomplish.

Well that didn’t take long.

Almost immediately after the midterm elections, President Obama, no longer needing to be concerned about his party’s election chances, stepped out of his bunker and started presidenting again.

His ¿rst move: a statement pushing the FCC to reinstate the rules of net neutrality and of¿cially recognize the Internet as a public utility.

I’ve written about net neutrality before, but I’ll give you a refresher anyway.

The basic idea of net neutrality is that all information on the Internet is treated equally. Whether you’re shopping online, streaming a YouTube video, looking up something on Wikipedia, or downloading a video game, all of that data is the same.

Internet service providers (ISP) however, would very much like to be able to identify which data is going where, and then charge not just the receiver, but the sender as well.

For example, digital versions of Mid-America Publishing’s many ¿ne newspapers are available online.

Now imagine if a snowbird went to Arizona for the winter, where Comcast is the only real option for Internet, and discovered that web-pages from Mid-America Publishing’s sites were taking an infuriatingly long time to load even though the snowbird was already paying top dollar for suf¿cient Internet speeds.

Well, it could be that Comcast had decided to throttle web content from Mid-America Publishing to Comcast customers, and would only stop if Mid-America Publishing agreed to pay Comcast what is essentially a ransom.

Replace “Mid-America Publishing” with “NetÀix” and that’s exactly what happened earlier this year. And that’s exactly what Comcast would like to do to everybody. Pay extra for the “fast lane” or they will throttle, if not outright block, your website.

So the President has called for some simple rules that net neutrality advocates have been pushing for years. No blocking, no throttling, no paid prioritization.

These things are no-brainers, and to prove that point, Texas Senator Ted Cruz reÀexively took to Twitter to proclaim his opposition, saying, “Net Neutrality is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government.”

This tweet is funny for two reasons. Well, two reasons beyond the fact that Ted Cruz clearly has no idea what Net Neutrality is other than something that telecom companies paid him $50,000 last year to oppose.

The ¿rst is that Ted Cruz’s go-to platform to denounce the idea that the Internet should be treated as a public utility was… the Internet.

The second is that while Cruz opposes the idea of the Internet running at the speed of government, in reality, we should be so lucky.

Now yes, I know he’s actually talking about the speed at which he does (or doesn’t do) his own job, but when it actually comes to bandwidth, government networks blow for-pro¿t networks clear out of the water. Here in Iowa, the primary barrier keeping the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) from public use is the fact that local competition simply would not be able to compete with the state-run ¿ber optic network.

But back to net neutrality, which is so popular, even among Republicans, that it’s almost strange Obama didn’t make this statement sooner in order to bait some unforced errors out of the opposition party.

However, this issue ultimately won’t be decided by President Obama or Ted Cruz. It’ll be decided by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who has the unenviable task of creating a set of rules for the Internet that won’t invoke the wrath of an unending army of lawyers from the telecom industry.

Like dealing with children negotiating against bedtime, Wheeler has to consider how much screaming from the telecoms he is willing to put up with in order to enforce his policy.

Title II of the Telecommunications Act could classify the Internet as a public utility. It’s the “nuclear option,” it won’t make the telecom industry happy, it certainly won’t be the end of the debate, but it would undoubtedly give the FCC the authority to put net neutrality rules back in play.

But whether it’s done via Title II or not, one can only hope that Wheeler ¿nds a way to re-establish net neutrality rules. The future of the Internet may depend on it.

Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and is glad Comcast and Time Warner don’t operate here.

Mowing appeal, wastewater plant top Hampton council meeting

BY NICK PEDLEY The Hampton City Council denied a nuisance mowing appeal and discussed progress at the new wastewater treatment plant during its meeting last Thursday.

Jim Dannen of rural Hampton met with group to formally appeal a nuisance mowing notice he was served in September. According to city of¿cials, the grass at a property he owned on Fifth Street Southwest grew longer than six inches and violated ordinance. The city then mowed the property to bring it into compliance and charged Dannen a $40.25 fee.

Dannen was in the middle of selling the property when he was served the nuisance

LOOKING BACK

mowing notice. He admitted the yard needed attention, but also said it was mowed a week before the city took action. A string of rainy days also made it dif¿cult to mow before the city did it.

“It had gotten a little long, but like I said, we had taken care of it,” Dannen said. “I even talked to a neighbor across from the property and he said it wasn’t that long. I don’t think there’s much evidence that it was out of ordinance.”

The council was sympathetic to Dannen’s claims, but ultimately felt the situation was a case of bad timing. Mayor Brook Boehmler stressed the need for residents to communicate with City Hall when things like a home sale

create unique circumstances that force a property out of compliance.

The council voted 4-0 to deny Dannen’s appeal. Council Members Steve Harms and Jim Davies were absent.

“I think your yard just got ahead of you with everything going on, but I’m going to make a motion to deny the appeal,” said Council Member Jay Hickman.

Following the appeal denial, the council unanimously approved a $124,725 pay request for ongoing construction on the new wastewater treatment plant. Engineer Tom Madden said recent winter-like weather conditions will most likely halt construction until spring. Snowy

weather and freezing temperatures makes groundwork nearly impossible, he explained.

“There’s nothing on this pay request that’s out of the ordinary,” he said. “There really hasn’t been anything problematic that’s worth mentioning. Things have been going pretty good.”

Boehmler made two mayoral proclamations to close the meeting. The ¿rst declared Nov. 23-29 Childhood Cancer Awareness Week, while the second urged residents to shop local during the upcoming holiday season and support events sponsored by community organizations.

It’s a good thing an estimated 95 percent of the state’s corn crop is out of the ¿eld because grain elevators all over Iowa are just plain running out of room to put all the corn. These photos are from Bradford, where there are already three piles outdoors.

Five Years Ago November 18, 2009 Six combines, 12 semis and four grain carts. That translates to a hefty dose of kindness and support, according to Autumn Colglazier, whose husband David (Colzy) Colglazier lost his life in a plane crash July 3.

In fact, this would have been David’s ¿rst harvest, as he only this year got started in farming on his own. Autumn and her sons Burke and Logan spent last Saturday morning, Nov. 14 watching as friends and neighbors

turned out to help with the harvest.

The undersized senior nightly outplayed many centers that outweighed him by 75-100 pounds. Chaney was third on the team with 81 tackles, including eight for losses. Chaney was named as the best defensive lineman by his teammates for the second year.

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Soybean demand keeps pace with record production Soybean prices may not plummet as low as some analysts predicted since strong demand continues to chew through record production, according to Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) leaders.

Prior to harvest, grain marketing experts projected soybean prices could slip to $8.50 per bushel or lower after several years of consistent double-digit values. Last week’s U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates Report pegged the nation’s soybean crop at nearly 3.96 billion bushels, 31 million bushels higher than the October forecast. The increase, though, was almost entirely offset by higher soybean export and crush projections.

Grant Kimberley, ISA market development director, said robust demand is keeping prices from bottoming out. Domestic and international crush margins are proÂżtable and livestock producers worldwide are in expansion mode. “Strong demand has helped utilize this record national crop. It may prevent the market from testing the projected low levels,â€? said Kimberley, who also farms with his family in central Iowa.

China continues to be a strong buyer of whole beans from the United States. But Kimberley said the real story is Mexico and the Philippines, which have stepped up soybean meal purchases.

U.S. soybean exports for 2014/15 are estimated at 1.72 billion bushels, up 20 million bushels from last month, according the report. The soybean crush is forecast at 1.78 billion bushels, up 10 million due to increased meal exports.

Soybean ending stocks remain unchanged from last month at an estimated 450 million bushels, the report said. The U.S. season-average projected price also stayed steady at $9 to $11 per bushel.

With harvest nearly Âżnished, Kimberley doesn’t expect production numbers to change much in the coming months. “The trade has a pretty good handle on production,â€? he said. “At these price levels, there is good demand and conÂżdence of buyers will increase.â€?

Iowa is responsible for one-third of the national production increase, according to today’s USDA Crop Production Report. The state’s soybean harvest is forecast at nearly 514.3 million bushels, up more than 10 million bushels from last month.

The government increased Iowa’s average soybean yield by 1 bushel to 52 bushels per acre. Yield gains in Iowa and South Dakota helped bump up the national average to a projected record 47.5 bushels per acre. “We are in a global market and it is important that soybean producers look at what is going on in the world and try to resist reacting to what is going on in our backyard,� said ISA President Tom Oswald of Cleghorn. “There are a lot of factors that can have an affect farmers’ back pockets.�

North Iowa Area Community College Presents Candlelight Christmas Festival North Iowa Area Community College proudly presents the Candlelight Christmas Festival at the North Iowa Community Auditorium on the NIACC campus at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6. This presentation is part of the 2014 – 2015 Performing Arts and Leadership Series. The biennial collaboration is sure to put audience members in the holiday spirit.

Candlelight Christmas features music from the NIACC Concert Choir, NIACC Singers, River City Chorus, North Iowa Choral Society, and Algona Garrigan Children’s choir along with members from the North Iowa Concert Band, North Iowa Symphony Orchestra and musicians from the community.

Director Jayson Ryner leads the cast of nearly 200 local performers. “It is such a delight to work with the local musicians,� Ryner said. “When the community responds so favorably to what we put before them, it is a wonderful reward for the time and energy of all who are involved.�

According to Ryner, this year’s NIACC ensembles feature top notch local students. “It is hard to compare year to year if one choir is better than another, but this group of students sets the bar extremely high for themselves. They are delightful people of whom their parents, teachers, and communities can be proud. It shows up in their singing and in the music. Their heartfelt performance tied with the message of the season should not be

missed. They are exceptional.�

This year’s Candlelight Christmas features traditional holiday pieces including, “Joy to the World,� “The First Noel,� and “I Saw Three Ships� performed by the entire cast. Ryner said that other musical selections will bring surprises and new twists including a holiday version of “Hallelujah� by Leonard Cohen, a salsa version of “Hot Chocolate� and even doo wop!

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey last week highlighted the 2,382 Iowa farmers that used state cost share funds to install conservation practices during the state’s 2014 Âżscal year, which ran from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. These farmers contributed $13 million while the state contributed $9.5 million in cost share and administrative support provided by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. “The state cost share program has been around for more than 40 years and we continue to see very strong demand from farmers and landowners who more than match the state investment to install conservation practices,â€? Northey said in release. “Thanks to investments by farmers and the state funds, more than $22 million was used to build conservation structures and adopt conservation practices that prevent erosion and improve water quality.â€?

The report shows 58 percent of funds used for cost share supported construction of terraces, 11 percent for grade stabilization structures, 9 percent for grassed waterways, 7 percent for water and sediment control basins and 2 percent for other practices. In addition, 13 percent of the funds supported management practices such as cover crops, no-till and strip-till that reduces erosion.

The report also details how farmers can work with their local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) offices to apply for cost share assistance. Iowa has 100 SWCD ofÂżces across the state, one in each county and two in Pottawattamie, that set priorities and use the funds to work with farmers that are doing conservation on their land.

The Department has more than $6.75 million this fiscal year to help farmers and landowners install conservation practices through the state cost share program. Conservation practices eligible for assistance through this program include terraces, waterways, ponds, buffers, cover crops, and several other conservation practices.

Field ofÂżce staff with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship partners with the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service to assure the technical quality of the practices that are built and help farmers develop conservation plans for their farms.

Energy bill assistance available North Iowa Community Action Organization is accepting applications for the 2014-15 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

Applications will need to provide a copy of their Social Security card for all members of their household, a copy of a recent heating bill/electric bill and proof of all household members’ gross income for the past three months, the past calendar year or their most recent federal income tax return.

The LIHEAP program is funded by the department of Health and Human Services through the Iowa Department of Human Rights/DCAA. This program is not designed to pay a household’s total energy costs.

The program will provide supplemental assistance based on several factors, including total household income, household size, dwelling type and type of heating fuel, among others. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2015.

Income maximums listed in order of household size, three-month income and annual gross income: 1, $4,376, $17,505; 2, $5,899, $23,595; 3, $7,421, $29,685; 4, $8,944, $35,775; and 5, $10,466, $41,865.

Households that are over income guidelines may be eligible for LIHEAP beneÂżts through the medical waiver component. The medical expenses must be documented, paid and non-reimbursable.

Applications will be accepted in Franklin County at the Community Resource Center located at 123 1st Ave. SW in Hampton on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

New exhibit opens Friday Retirement at MacNider Art Muesum party planned for Root

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2014

ANNIVERSARY

“Paintings from the Vault” opens on Friday, Nov. 21, in the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum’s Center Space Gallery.

The exhibition celebrates paintings from the Museum’s Permanent Collection which are not on currently on display in one of the ¿ve Permanent Collection display galleries. Most museums only display 5-10 percent of their collections at any one time (The Charles H. MacNider Art Museum has about 10 percent of its total art holdings on display). The rest are stored in art storage areas or vaults, where proper temperature, humidity and light controls are maintained. This is good for the artwork, but not as ideal for visitors who will miss the opportunity to view some magni¿cent pieces of art.

“Paintings from the Vault” features paintings collected between 19702008 that have not been exhibited in Permanent Collection galleries for some time. The exhibition is on display from Nov. 21-Feb. 14 in the Museum’s Center Space Gallery.

UP stresses cautious driving during extreme winter weather conditions During the extreme winter weather conditions that are fast approaching the Midwest, Union Paci¿c Railroad reminds motorists to use extreme caution when driving across grade crossings. With reduced visibility due to blowing and drifting snow, it could be dif¿cult for motorists to see where crossing surfaces are located. When possible, use over or under passes to get to the other side of railroad tracks.

Safety tip: if you are driving too fast for the slick conditions you will not be able to stop in time to avoid running into the path of or into the side of a moving train at a crossing. It can take a mile or more to stop a train, and, by the time a locomotive engineer sees you on the track, it is too late to stop.

A crossing safety reminder from the employees at Union Paci¿c Railroad: In 2013, there were 49 collisions, 24 injuries and ¿ve fatalities involving vehicles and locomotives.

Coverage selection for new 2014 Farm Bill safety net programs begin Nov. 17 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reminds farm owners and producers that the opportunity to choose between the new 2014 Farm Bill established programs, Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC), begins Nov. 17, 2014, and continues through March 31, 2015. The new programs, designed to help producers better manage risk, usher in one of the most signi¿cant reforms to U.S. farm programs in decades.

USDA helped create online tools to assist in the decision process, allowing farm owners and producers to enter information about their operation and see projections that show what ARC and/or PLC will mean for them under possible future scenarios.

Farm owners and producers can access the online resources, available at www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc, from the convenience of their home computer or mobile device at any time.

Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, Àaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice (which includes short grain rice), safÀower

seed, sesame, soybeans, sunÀower seed and wheat. Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity.

Dates associated with ARC and PLC that farm owners and producers need to know: • Now through Feb. 27, 2015: Farm owners may visit their local Farm Service Agency of¿ce to update yield history and/or reallocate base acres.

• Nov. 17, 2014 to March 31, 2015: Producers make a one-time election between ARC and PLC for the 2014 through 2018 crop years.

• Mid-April 2015 through summer 2015: Producers sign contracts for 2014 and 2015 crop years.

• October 2015: Payments issued for 2014 crop year, if needed.

To learn more about which safety net options are most appropriate for specific farming operations, farmers can use new Web tools at www. fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc, which can be accessed from the convenience of a home computer or a mobile device at any time. To learn more about upcoming educational meetings, farmers can contact their local Farm Service Agency county of¿ce at http:// go.usa.gov/pYV3.

BULLDOGS GET NO FAVORS

By Kristi Nixon HAMPTON – Once again playing in a murderous North Central Conference, the Hampton-Dumont volleyball struggled against such stiff competition, dropping all of its matches in the NCC. The Bulldogs also played a tough nonconference schedule, earning their only wins against North Butler (twice) and West Fork, both Corn Bowl Conference foes.

Because of the lack of success in the conference, H-D went without a selection in all three North Central Conference volleyball teams, announced recently.

Although coach Cinda Barz’s team had five seniors, it was young in key spots with a freshman libero and a sophomore (part-time) starting setter.

And five of the eight NCC teams had a .500 record or above and boasted an Iowa Falls-Alden team that made it to the state

tournament for the second time in three years.

Lacking height, no Bulldog was more than 5-foot-10 and it showed as the most kills recorded was by the team’s tallest player, Jordan Casey, with 115 and she also led the way in total blocks with 48.

With a two-setter system, H-D was led

by Cassy Miller’s 167 assists and Morgan Kalkwarf added 136.

Libero Dakota Sliter tallied 335 digs, 200 more than the next H-D player. She averaged 4.72 digs per set.

Serving was H-D’s strongest point with an efficiency of 87 percent and 111 aces.

Miller led the team in serving efficiency at 94 percent. Kalkwarf served up 28 aces.

The Bulldogs will return four starters next season, including Macy Scheideman, Emily Casey, Miller and Sliter.

DOING THEIR PART H-D Football Team Makes a Habit of Giving Back

Chelsea Odem Sophomore The Fault in Our Stars

Sam Hilsman Senior Harris and Me

Many high schoolers would love to be in bed on chilly Saturday mornings in the fall. For the H-D Football team, however, it’s more important to support their community and school through service. This fall, more than twenty football players helped with various projects in town and had a good time doing it.

On one particular Saturday in October, members of the team met at Harriman-Nielsen Farms to help prepare for the upcoming Fall Festival.

They picked apples, hauled pumpkins, and set up tents to help prepare for the arrivals of families who were eager to celebrate the fall season.

Senior football player Logan

Holm, says, “Picking apples was probably the best part.

The cookies that the ladies brought us weren’t bad either.” For several hours, the players worked in the cold, but found it to be a very rewarding experience.

Pablo Gonzalez, a sophomore at H-D, describes it as a family experience with those he considers brothers.

Scott Hoegh, H-D football coach, helped to organize the team’s participation in the day’s festivities. “They really helped a lot, and the people at Harriman-Neilsen were so grateful.” Plans have already made made for the football team to return to work for the event Right: Alex Sackville enjoys time with the third and fourth gradHUV DW ÁDJ IRRWEDOO Below: Isaiah Noelck gives young players pointers; Right: HDHS football players helped at Harriman-Nielsen Farms to get ready for Fall Festival; Upper right: Josh Knipfel hauls apples

Some were not able to be at Harriman-Nielsen Farms with the rest of the team because they were running ÁDJ IRRWEDOO IRU WKLUG DQG fourth graders at the high VFKRRO ÀHOG 7KLV WRRN SODFH three weekends in the fall.

High school players were in charge of running different drills for the little ones. They were also given teams to help coach and mentor before they played the other teams. “We were all in their shoes at one point, and we remember how important it was to us when we were that age,” explains senior Chace Klein as he looks back on the event.

Surely some day many years down the road, those same third and fourth graders will have similar sentiments.

It’s of¿cial: Hard, fun work for Meyer Motor Sports crew as one departs

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – Meyer Motor Sports will be looking for a new of¿cial after Jake Jacobs will be taking his talent to the oval track next year.

The Figure 8 of¿cial who worked with Jim and Kathy Meyer for seven years was given a parting gift of a signed helmet at the racing banquet held at the Franklin County Convention Center on Saturday, Nov. 8.

“It’s going to be tough (leaving),” Jacobs said. “I used to race and had a lot of success; did really well, but then had a little boy and decided I was going to get out of it. At that time, the owner asked if I’d help him.

When Jim and Kathy took over, I helped them. I’m actually going to miss everybody.

“I made a lot of friends. I’m at that point where I want to race again.”

In fact, the Meyers made it a point to honor all of their of¿cials. Included among them were Tina Reynolds and Cory Miller.

“I actually got started because my husband raced,” Reynolds said.

“Now my daughter has gotten into it, so she is going to start racing.

“Being an of¿cial is a challenge because you really have to be focused and I think the best part of it is you get to meet everybody. You know everybody in all of the classes and it becomes a family and once you’re in it, it’s addictive.”

Reynolds has been an of¿cial for six years. Miller, for 17, and with the Meyers is on his third owner.

“It’s been fun, they do a nice job,”

Miller said. “Owners evolve with the sport. The ¿rst owner I was with was real old school, beating and banging and others have come along that made it more about racing.”

If you are interested in becoming an of¿cial, Jacobs has advice for you.

“You’ve got to have broad shoulders,” Jacobs advised. “You’re going to have good nights and you’re going to have bad nights. Some nights, everything goes good and then you

When it comes to racing, I don’t care if it’s Go-Karts, Figure 8, circle track, I mean it’s who I am.

- Jake Jacobs have the nights where someone will be upset with you for a call you made.

Everything happens so fast in racing you have to be able to make the call and stand behind the call you made.

“You have to have stuff slide off.

On the other hand, the friends I’ve had, the relationships I’ve built, they overwhelm the nights where I’ve had people mad at me for a call I’ve made. Usually, they settle down, you know? People move on.”

Jacobs started Figure 8 racing

in 2006. He said he was fortunate enough to be asked to stay on as an of¿cial.

“There was even one year when I raced myself and was an of¿cial, so that year we went to 60-some races,” Jacobs said. “When it comes to racing, I don’t care if it’s Go-Karts, Figure 8, circle track, I mean it’s who I am. I really enjoy the racing part of it.”

And the relationship with the Meyers will continue for Jacobs even when he moves on to circle track in Mason City, Independence, wherever he can.

“I’ve known Jim and Kathy for a long time, they’ve always treated me like their own,” Jacobs said. “Jim, actually, was racing when I was racing and we kind of butted heads when we raced against each other. This opportunity came along, when they got out they wanted me to stay on and our relationship has gotten better over the years. Jim and Kathy treat me like their own son.

“They’re excited and they’ll be at the circle track supporting me.

In a perfect world, I could do both, but if I do something, I do it all the way. I can’t give 100 percent to you guys and my racing to be fair to them and fair to me. I’m a very competitive person, if I do something, I do it right.”

And Reynolds said it is something that she prefers to do.

“I love it,” Reynolds said, “if this could be my regular job, I would (do it).”

Ibañez eventually homered to tie the game and hit the go-ahead homer in extra innings.

“Because I believe the players knew that I wanted what was best for them it didn’t become a huge story,” Girardi said.

Speaking on current issues, Girardi said he thinks replay is a great thing.

“Without the technology, we wouldn’t have that,” Girardi said.

“It’s saving me more money – I don’t get thrown out of games now.

I get my arguments in, but I don’t get thrown out of games.

“There are also probably some people who are old school baseball fans who don’t like the shift, but with the numbers if you know a guy pulls a ground ball 85 percent of the time, why wouldn’t you put three ¿elders on the right side? It’s just going with the percentages.”

He answered a question on his thoughts on his team for the 2015 season, although it is early.

“Our team is an un¿nished product,” Girardi said. “The off-season has really just started so I can’t tell you who we are going to have. We need some help; we’ve had to address some issues because we’ve had some injuries.

“I like the prospects we have coming up, some of them are a couple of years away, but I guess I’m excited about a few things. I like our team.”

Kevin Harvick wins the 2014 Sprint Cup Championship

2014 Chase for the Cup

Harvick, who had to win last week at Phoenix just to advance into Sunday’s final four, wrapped up his third victory of this Chase and fifth of the season. “These are the moments that you live for,” said Harvick, who earned his first series championship after holding off Ryan Newman for the win. “Everybody expected us to win last week at Phoenix and we did. “It was a mentally draining week leading up to today, but I woke up this morning believing we were in the right spot. And here we are.” Harvick’s victory capped a magical first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, where Harvick moved this year after 13 seasons with Richard Childress that failed to produce a championship. He leaned this week on team coowner Tony Stewart, a three-time champion, and Jimmie Johnson, the six-time champion who moved from California to North Carolina to chase a career in NASCAR about the same time as Harvick made the move east. “Been trying for 13 years,” an emotional Harvick said. “This week ate me up.

If it wasn’t for Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart, I would have been in bad trouble this week. Those guys really helped me get through the week. After every practice, Jimmie was in there, and in our team debriefs Tony was constantly telling me just to go race and that it’s just another race.” Stewart shared an emotional hug with Harvick, and then beamed during the celebration. “That’s about as emotional as you can get, to have one of your greatest friends go out in one of your race cars and win a championship in the toughest series in the country,” Stewart said. Newman, winless on the season, finished second. Hamlin faded to seventh and Logano was a distant 16th.

Racing News Chad Knaus faces no penalty after unauthorized use of wheel spacer On a pit stop during the Ford EcoBoost 400, Knaus wanted to put on a wheel spacer after having a loose wheel. The NASCAR official in the pit saw it and told him not to, and Knaus had the team do it anyway. Because he disobeyed a NASCAR order, Knaus and team general manager Doug Duchardt were called to the NASCAR hauler after the race. “It’s really not a big deal,” NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said.

“We were just trying to clarify what went on. … It’s fine. We just wanted to clear the air and clarify everything.

It’s really not an issue.” Knaus and Jimmie Johnson’s team will not face any penalties for what is being characterized as a misunderstanding on pit road.

No disciplinary action to be taken against Kurt Busch No charges have been filed against Busch, and France said during his annual seasonending news conference that NASCAR closely is monitoring the situation. “We are watching that case carefully,” he said.

“It’s under review by law enforcement and others. They haven’t made a decision on that regarding Kurt. Until they make judgments on that investigation, it wouldn’t be right to intervene before it’s completed.”

BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – Think, has the New York Yankee’s Manager been in Franklin County?

Why would he do so?

Well, when Joe Girardi came as the keynote speaker at Sukup Manufacturing in Shef¿eld on Friday, Nov. 14 for Sustaining Advanced Manufacturing All-Stars in North Iowa, he answered that question right off the bat.

“I’m going to tell you why,” Girardi said. “I really believe in family.

I believe my parents gave me every opportunity to have a better life because of their work. The reason I am here is I believe in you and what you’re doing.”

Girardi showed a picture of his son on a tractor at his cousin’s farm who farmed more than 4,000 acres.

Originally from Peoria, Ill., Girardi graduated from Northwestern University with an engineering degree.

When introducing Girardi, Steve Sukup said, “In his ¿rst year as Yankees’ coach he was No. 27 and then he became 28. He wanted 27 because Joe likes pressure. Because the Yankees had won 26 World Championships, and he wanted his players to know that the 27th championship was going to come and in 2009 it happened. That’s why he now wears No. 28.”

And his message was one of leadership and teamwork in work and life.

He told about how he quit baseball for a while after two and a half years

The flag disposal commenced when Commander Jim Zacharias called the ceremony to order. The Àags were separated into two piles and placed on pallets off the ground.

Legionnaires Susan Zacharias, John Rusinack, Jack Reysack, Troy Wood, Joe Paullus, Greg Welsher and two members of the Sons of the American Legion John Kohles and Zack Galindo stood in a line along side the Àags throughout the ceremony.

Sergeant at Arms Joe Paullus stepped forward and made the following announcement: “Comrades, we have presented here the Ă€ags of our country which have been declared unserviceable. They have reached their present state in a proper service to our tribute, memory and love. Commander, I now ask that you inspect the Ă€ags.â€?

A flag may be a flimsy bit of printed gauze, or a beautiful banner

of ¿ne silk. Its intrinsic value may be triÀing or great; but its real value is beyond price for it is a precious symbol of all that we and our comrades have fought for and live and die for – a free nation of free men, true to faith of the past, devoted to ideals and practice of Justice, Freedom and Democracy.

These faded flags of our country were retired and destroyed with respectful and honorable rites, and their places will be taken by bright new Àags of the same size and kind so no grave of the dead be unhonored and unmarked.

Chaplain Troy Wood stepped forward and offered a prayer for the Ă€ags before they were lit. “Almighty God, Captain of all host and Commander over all, bless and consecrate this present hour. We thank thee for our country and its Ă€ag, and for the liberty for which

it stands,â€? he said. “To cleanse and purge we commit these Ă€ags worn out in worthy service. As they yield their substance to the Âżre, may thy Holy Light spread over us and bring to our hearts renewed devotion to God and our Country.â€?

After Chaplain Wood was done with the prayer, Commander Zacharias gave the order to “Light the Fire.â€? Sergeant at Arms Paullus and Chaplain Wood stepped forward and lit the Ă€ags ablaze.

Commander Zacharias stayed with the Àags along with the Legionnaires as they burned for more than an hour. The next morning, he and Sergeant at Arms Paullus returned to the sight and gathered the Àags’ remains, which were buried in an undisclosed place in Franklin County.

This place will remain Holy Ground.

SALUTE TO 2014 FRANKLIN COUNTY 4-H

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

FRANKLIN COUNTY 4-H

1

4-H AGRICULTURE & NATURAL RESOURCES 4-H’ers that enjoy the outdoors have several project choices.

In 4-H Crop Production members can get their hands dirty while learning about soil, bugs, and other stuff, and how they affect the crops they grow.

In 4-H Environment & Sutainability members discover how the choices they make everyday affect our whole world forever.

Through the 4-H Horticulture Project, 4-H’ers explore the basic principles of plant science; they learn to plan, care for and manage vegetable or flower gardens; and they learn effective, safe methods of pest control, and they learn to investigate landscape plans and techniques.

In 4-H Outdoor Adventures members go backpacking, hike a trail, build a campfire, ride a bike, or reel in the big one!

4-H Safety & Education in Shooting Sports 4-H’ers get to hit their target with a bow, rifle or shotgun.

Awards were presented to: Environment: County Bronze: Carter Hobson. Horticulture: County Bronze: Lane Benning, Michael Bottorff, Lucas Diggins, Jacob Fjeld, Kelsie Kuper, MaKenna Kuper. County Silver: Hanna Benning, Miranda DeVries, Mackenzie Kielty, Collin Meints. County Gold: Jenna Borcherding.

4-H BEEF AWARDS The potential of the 4-H Beef Project is greater today than ever before.

Some very real, yet very exciting challenges face the beef industry.

The 4-H Beef Project provides young people with a broad-based view of the beef industry, stimulates interest in producing a quality product, and gives beef industry leaders the opportunity to work with those young people on issues concerning the industry. Through the beef project, the industry assures itself of a capable work force in the future -- using “learning by doing” methods, beef project members learn practical skills in the production, management, marketing, consumer relations, consumer education and career selection. Members in this project develop life skills and practical abilities in finance, record keeping, animal health care, decision making, public relations, and the ability to share what they have learned.

The following Beef Project members were recognized at the Annual 4-H Awards Night held November 2, 2014: County Bronze: Lane Benning, Wyatt Benning, Zach DeVries, Alayna Hunt, Macey Rust, Jenny Wibholm. County Silver: Hanna Benning, Aaron DeVries, Mac Rust. County Gold: Nathan Ackerman, Brooke Benning, Saje Ites, Jack Wibholm.

BOTTLE/BUCKET CALF The Bottle/Bucket Calf project is an opportunity for youth in grades 4 to 6 to learn about caring for a young calf. Youth select a calf with an adult partner (parent, 4-H leader, neighbor, relative, etc.). The partners then work together to raise the calf, completing learning experiences that focus on calf housing, calf nutrition, and calf health. Since this project emphasizes what the youth learned through these experiences, success in this project is not based on the quality of the calf. These 4-H members completed records and earned the following awards: County Bronze: Kacie Eisentrager, Addy Showalter, Andyn Showalter, Jack Showalter, Claire Wearda.

4-H SHEEP & MEAT GOAT PROJECT AWARDS The 4-H Sheep and Meat Goat Project are two of the most successful and rapidly growing project areas in 4-H today. Whether 4-H’ers feed and manage one lamb or breed and raise an entire flock, they have the opportunity to learn and employ efficient marketing methods and demonstrate sound breeding, feeding, and management practices.

Sheep Project: County Bronze: Elizabeth Thiesen. County Silver: Blake Miller. County Gold: Will Alert. Also Completing: Macy Dirksen, Jackson Kelsey, Colby Theisen, Lydia Winsor. Meat Goat: Completing: Jenny Wibholm, Jack Wibholm.

DOG PROJECT WINNERS ARE ANIMAL LOVERS In the 4-H Dog Project, youth learn responsibility and they develop a greater understanding and appreciation for animals. They learn the practical details of dog care and health maintenance as they develop skills in dog obedience. The 4-H’ers learn how to provide the continuous training and care that allows a dog to become a companion...a pet...a friend.

4-H’ers who demonstrated sound dog care and training skills in 201314 receiving county awards are: County Bronze: Justine Jordahl. Completed: Macey Rust.

4-H HORSE, PONY, AND MULE PROJECT The joy of being able to care for an animal which one loves and having the skills to train, ride, and exhibit that animal is one of the greatest rewards a young person receives as a participant in the 4-H Horse Project.

Through this project, young people experience the satisfaction of owning and caring for horses, ponies or mules and of assuming responsibility for their management and training. They learn about breeding and feeding, housing and health, riding and training, and showing and judging.

County awards presented were: County Silver: Brienna Reichenbacher. County Gold: Morrigan Miller.

Completed: Elle Latham, Summer Phillips, Mac Rust, Macey Rust.

4-H’ERS RECEIVE SWINE PROJECT AWARDS The 4-H Swine Project is one of the oldest and strongest educational efforts of 4-H, dating back to the first corn and pig clubs organized in the early 1900’s. Since then, some seven million young people have been involved in the project. The 4-H Swine Project continues to provide 4-H’ers realistic learning experiences in animal production, management and marketing. The swine project not only has contributed significantly to the development of creative, productive citizens but also has provided vocational training in improved swine production practices. The training 4-H’ers receive in the swine project has had a direct and highly positive effect on the efficiency of swine production in the United States.

4-H Swine Project awards were presented to: County Gold: Ryan Keninger.

PART OF THE LEADERSHIP TEAM Franklin County can boast 27 club leaders on their 4-H team. These dedicated volunteers are what keeps club work going. They give unselfishly of their time in many ways. They act as a liaison between the Extension Office and the 4-H members, carrying project information and procedures to their local clubs.

Leaders provide a role model to the members by working with them on club activities such as the fair booth display, window display, club fund raising projects and community service projects. They encourage each member to work to their fullest potential and to develop their own leadership capabilities. More than thirty adults in Franklin County received personal satisfactions from serving as volunteer 4-H club leaders in 2013-14: FC Shamrocks: Darshan Miller, Morgan Miller. Franklin XL’s: Carma DeVries, Todd Dirksen. Gummy Bots of Doom: Gail Castillo. Kitchen Krew: Michelle Sackville, Pat Sackville. Marion Monarchs: Kathy Jorgensen. Northwest Franklin: Marsha Miller.

Reeve Royalties: Tricia Christiansen. Sheffield Town & Country: Penny Rust, Donna Emhoff. Shooting Sports: Keith Kothenbeutal. Southwest Franklin: Denelle McWherter. Tri-L: Brenda Fjeld, Laura Brunsen. Washington Winners: Nadine Baltes, Tracy Baltes. West Fork Winners: Daren Meints, Marilee Jones.

4-H’ERS STUDY NUTRITION AND FOOD PREPARATION Every day, people make many decisions about which foods to eat, and they start doing so at a very young age. Youth is the best time to learn about good eating habits and food-related issues. Youngsters have the opportunity to build good habits rather than facing the necessity of correcting bad habits later in life.

The 4-H Food and Nutrition project helps young people take responsibility for making healthful food choices. Food and nutrition learning experiences in 4-H make the fitness-nutrition connection by encouraging 4-H’ers to establish a fitness plan based on knowledge of one’s nutritional needs, lifestyle and physical condition. As they develop skills in planning, selecting, preparing, serving and storing food, 4-H’ers come to understand how our food choices are influenced and they explore career opportunities in Food and Nutrition.

Awards were presented at the Annual 4-H Awards Night to the following members: Food & Nutrition: County Bronze: Nicholas Bottorff, Lucas Diggings, Justine Jordahl. County Silver: Carrinton Hunt. County Gold: Jenna Borcherding, Amanda Fjeld, Saje Ites, Cameron Johnson. Also Completing: Michael Bottorff, Olivia Cooper, Hope Hartman, Alexis Johnson, Hannah Jorgensen, Colby McWherter, William Miller, Warren Miller, Summer Phillips, Katelyn Proctor, Macey Rust, Keturah Sauke, Benji Sauke, Savannah Schade, Morgan Sietsema, Kirsten Suntken, Emily Swenson, Lydia Winsor.

4-H’ERS LEARN RELATIONSHIP AND PARENTING SKILLS Children grow up to be parents generation after generation. But the patterns of parenting change from one generation to the next.

4-H’ers can get help for the parenting ahead through the 4-H Child Development Project. These projects help them gain knowledge and understanding of people and different family systems that they experience through friendships and babysitting.

The 4-H Child Development Project offers three levels: (1) learning and sharing; (2) caring for children; and (3) parenting ahead. The third project level, parenting ahead, helps 4-H’ers find out who they are and how they feel about families. At this level they also develop skills related to future relationships as well as future adult roles.

There are a lot of basic materials and information in the three units for human development. Both boys and girls are limited only by their imaginations to set goals and share what they are learning as they grow.

Those selected to receive awards were: County Bronze: Mikayla Fjeld, Justine Jordahl. County Gold: Amanda Fjeld, Megan Marlette, Maggie Staff.

4-H’ERS LEARN EFFICIENT AND PRODUCTIVE DAIRY SKILLS The 4-H Dairy Project gives young people the opportunity to learn about the dairy industry and the significant contribution in makes to America’s agricultural industry. 4-H’ers learn the basics of animal nutrition and health.

Recognized for progress in the 4-H Dairy Project were: Dairy Cattle: Completing: Lane Abbas.

HEALTH: AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN EVERYONE’S LIFE The focus of the 4-H Health Project is to encourage young people to accept responsibility for maintaining and improving their own physical, intellectual, emotional and social health. Through their health project, young people learn to make decisions that affect personal, family and community health. They develop patterns of living that foster concern for health and the quality of life, and they learn about the environmental issues which affect health. Through this project, 4-H’ers learn about the health resources of their communities and often serve themselves as resources for their peers and neighbors.

County Silver: Katie Meyer.

2014 Alumni Recognition recipient Christa Wiarda.

4-H ALUMNI/HONORARY MEMBER RECOGNITION The more than 45 million 4-H alumni in our population are a rich resource for the 4-H program. The 4-H Alumni Recognition honors former 4-H members for their outstanding accomplishments after 4-H membership. Recognition goes to those alumni who retain their interest in 4-H and support for the program. Recipients are chosen on the basis of effective leadership, public service, service to 4-H, and setting a positive example for young people.

Each year the Franklin County 4-H Organization honors former 4-H members whose achievements exemplify citizenship, leadership, community and public service. Recipients are selected by the County 4-H and Youth Committee.

This year’s Alumni Award recipient is Christa Wiarda. Christa was a 9 year member of the Oakland Happy Go-Luckies Club in Franklin County from 1969 – 1977.

Christa was involved with Home Improvement, Dairy, Food & Nutrition, Clothing, Garden, Creative Arts, and Sheep 4-H projects.

At her local club, Christa held every office and was a County 4-H Officer in 1976-1977.

Some of the awards Christa earned as a 4-H’er includes: Chicago Trip, Top Senior Sheep Showman, Reserve Champion Lamb, top Consumer Education project award, and the BF Dohrmann Scholarship. Christa was also named the Franklin County Pork Queen in 1977.

While Christa’s three children Jennifer, Jessica, and Jeremy were involved in 4-H, she became the leader of the Osceola Organizers from 1996 through 2002. Because of Christa’s passion for horticulture, she also volunteered in 2000 to be our project leader. Not only does she have beautiful gardens at her home to tour, Christa loves to give demonstrations to members on how to plant and care for flowers and vegetables.

Last fall we honored Christa with the Emerald Clover Award for 25 years of Service as a 4-H volunteer.

Thank you Christa, for your outstanding service to the Franklin County 4-H Organization.

Honorary Member recognition honors individuals or businesses who may not have been former 4-H members but show strong interest and support for the program.

The Franklin County 4-H Organization is honoring Raelene Borcherding for her support of the Franklin County 4-H program.

Raelene Borcherding, as well as her family, has been involved with the 4-H program in Franklin County for many years. Her daughters Erin and Emily were each nine year members of the Mott Achievers 4-H club. Raelene stepped up into the leader role for that club from 2001 to 2003. She has also served two three-year terms on the County 4-H Youth Committee beginning in 2005 through 2010. Husband, Dennis, is currently serving on the County 4-H Youth Committee.

Photography is a real passion for Raelene. A few years ago she became a trained 4-H photography judge and last year, Raelene volunteered to be our county photography project leader.

Thank you Raelene, for all your time and support of the Franklin County 4-H program.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COMES WHEN 4-H’ERS INTERPRET THEIR LEARNING TO OTHERS Personal development projects show creativity and determination.

4-H’ers exploring personal development may enroll in or increase their skills in areas of Communication, Computer, and Self-Determined projects. Such exploration becomes even more challenging when it comes time for the 4-H’er to interpret what was learned with an exhibit for the public. Fair exhibits may be a notebook, journal, poster or slide set in addition to an object.

Those selected to receive awards in these project areas were: Self-Determined: County Bronze: Andrew Fredericks, Alex Koch, MaKenna Kuper. County Silver: Jonah VanHorn. Also Completing: Hannah Jorgensen, Stephanie Thielen, Mary Winsor.

4-H: BUILDING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS AND FUTURE LEADERS 4-H Citizenship is...making favors for hospital patients or senior citizens...adopting a highway...building a new playground...helping to solve community problems … speaking out on community issues. Yet, citizenship is more than an act or activity. It is an attribute of an individual’s character, a value system which leads an individual to demonstrate social responsibility and contribute to community development. This is the 4-H Citizenship Project - - a project allowing young people to both demonstrate and strengthen their commitment to building a better nation.

4-H members enrolled in Citizenship learn how issues affect our state and our nation and how an individual can become involved in addressing these issues.

4-H Citizenship awards recognize the achievements of 4-H’ers as they develop the skills they need to be active, well-adjusted community members.

4-H Leadership teaches members that leaders influence and support others in a positive manner for a shared goal. Leaders aren’t just elected.

You can be a member of committees, small groups and teams. Learning about yourself and how you work with others is a key part of developing leadership skills.

• Understand roles, attitudes, tasks and functions necessary for effective leadership.

• Strengthen local 4-H units in leadership responsibility and encourage other youth.

• Participate in program planning, development, and implementation; help recruit new members and leaders.

Citizenship: County Bronze: Jenna Shahan. Completed: Jenna White.

641-456-2551 COUNTY PROJECT LEADERS EXPAND 4-H’ERS HORIZONS IN SPECIALIZED AREAS Area adult leaders volunteer their knowledge, talents and time to 4-H groups by serving as county project leaders. These leaders work with individual members or a group enrolled in a specific project area at a workshop, home visit, tour, achievement day, special project activity, or county fair. 4-H offers a variety of project areas which adult volunteers support and help members learn knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Project Leaders are a valuable asset to the local 4-H program and can make a significant contribution to the growth and development of young people. They earn respect and friendship on members, parents, other leaders, and extension staff. In addition, these volunteers have the opportunity to continue their own personal growth and assume increasingly responsible leadership roles at the county level.

The people who served as Franklin County 4-H project leaders in 2013-14 were: Aerospace and Sport Fishing: Darwin Meyer.

Beef: April Hemmes, Rhonda Wenzel.

Child Development and Visual Arts: Karen Zander.

Citizenship and Leadership: Gail Castillo.

SALUTE TO 2014 FRANKLIN COUNTY 4-H

HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT GIVES 4-H’ERS OPPORTUNITIES The 4-H Home Improvement Project provides great opportunities for self-expression, but also poses challenges. 4-H’ers learn and apply principles of design and function to make the home more attractive, convenient, and comfortable within the family’s resources. They plan home living spaces in keeping with the needs of the family members and experience satisfaction from a home that expresses personal creativity and family life style. They develop skills through quality workmanship and recognition of quality products for making changes in the home. They also apply techniques of efficient use of energy as it relates to housing, furnishings, and home equipment, and explore alternate sources of energy.

Awards given in the Home Improvement Project this year are: County Bronze: Lane Benning, Kacie Eisentrager, William Stuck, Jordan Swenson, Claire Wearda. County Silver: Miranda DeVries, David Swenson, Madi Vanness, Jenna White. County Gold: Katelyn Baltes, Brooke Benning, Jenna Borcherding, Karter Miller, Morgan Sietsema.

VISUAL ARTS and MUSIC ARE A CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF 4-H’ERS 4-H’ers enrolled in the 4-H Visual Arts Project have an excellent opportunity to learn about themselves and express themselves creatively. The experience of creation is important in itself, often more important than the finished object.

Young artists express themselves in a wide range of media including fiber, clay, metal, paper, textiles, natural material, leather, wood, glass, plastic, chalk, pigment, and carbon.

The 4-H Music project allows members to express themselves by writing songs, joining a band, playing an instrument, or even trying out for “American Idol”, even if it’s just in the shower.

Those selected to receive awards in 4-H Visual Arts were: County Bronze: Spencer Baldwin, Erin Brunsen, Alayna Hunt, Jordan Swenson. County Silver: Hanna Benning. County Gold: Katelyn Baltes, Paige Brunsen, Maggie Staff, Tessa VanBuskirk. Also Completing: Jenna Borcherding, Michael Bottorff, Nicholas Bottorff, Abbey Fielding, Kylie Fink, Mikayla Fjeld, Hannah Jorgensen, MaKenna Kuper, Victoria Kuper, Katie Meyer, Izabel Miller, Laela Ragsdale, Keturah Sauke, Jaiden Shahan, Taylor Sperflage, Steph Thielen, Mary Winsor.

Those selected to receive recognition in 4-H Music were: County Silver: Katie Meyer.

4-H’ERS IN CLOTHING AND SEWING PROJECTS Although 4-H’ers in the clothing project learn to make, purchase and care for clothing and accessories and to choose equipment needed to do so, they derive other important benefits as well. Young people develop consumer skills as they learn to choose fabrics and notions as well as ready-made garments and accessories. They also apply consumer skills to the selection of equipment needed for clothing construction, repair, and maintenance and learn to use that equipment properly.

Through the Clothing Project, 4-H’ers strive to develop judgment and creativity in planning an attractive wardrobe which expresses their individual life style. They also grow in self-confidence and poise as they learn to make the most of their individual attributes.

In the Sewing and Needle Arts Project 4-H’ers are encouraged to “Stitch This!”, by using their sewing skills and creativity to make clothes, pillowcases, horse blankets, or anything else they can stitch, knit or crochet!

Clothing: County Bronze: Elle Latham, Taylor Sperfslage, Kirsten Suntken. County Silver: Abbey Fielding. County Gold: Jenna Borcherding, Amanda Fjeld, Maggie Staff. Also Completing: Mikayla Fjeld, Hannah Miller, Macey Rust.

Sewing and Needle Arts: County Bronze: Justine Jordahl, Taylor Sperfslage, Kirsten Suntken. County Silver: Rachel Kotenbrink, Katie Meyer, Keturah Sauke. County Gold: Katelyn Baltes. Completing: Alyssa Eberling, Izabel Miller, Jenny Wibholm.

4-H SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE The Iowa 4-H Foundation offers 4-H scholarships, to help 4-H’ers finance a college education to meet career goals. Scholarship programs are available to 4-H’ers in their senior year in high school. Scholarships may vary in amounts from $500 to $5,000. A 4-H’ers record book, career interests and plans, leadership, scholastic record, character, and financial need are considered in selecting scholarship recipients.

The Franklin County 4-H Foundation will also be awarding scholarships to 4-H members graduating this year. Applications will be sent to 12th grade members this winter.

Interested 4-H’ers can find the application and information at: http:// www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/teens/scholarships.htm or contact the Franklin County Extension Office for application procedures.

FGH practices preparedness for infectious diseases Franklin General Hospital (FGH) employees participated in an unannounced drill Nov. 6 when an “actor” came to the hospital, saying he was experiencing symptoms that would be consistent with an infectious disease like Ebola.

“We are very pleased with our staff’s response and with their ability to identify the potential Ebola patient and follow the process Àow we have in place,” said FGH Infection Control Nurse Allison Kjormoe, arranged the exercise. “Though we are a small facility, we are fortunate to be staffed by professionals who are cognizant of potential risk and demonstrate the critical thinking skills to keep themselves, their co-workers and other members of our community safe.”

Kjormoe said the risk of an Ebola patient presenting at FGH is remote and that inÀuenza poses more of a threat to Iowans, but the hospital will continue to take steps to assure preparedness. FGH is cooperating closely with county of¿cials, Mercy Health Network – North Iowa and Public Health to ensure they are working together to be prepared and educated.

Training includes asking the right questions to identify a potential Ebola patient and taking proper precautions to prevent exposure to other individuals. In addition, staff practice donning the designated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their own safety; equally important is carefully “dof¿ng” or removing that PPE to avoid contact with potentially

In reporting on the drill, Kjormoe repeated that, although the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) has issued a press release regarding several travelers being monitored in Iowa, there is currently not a public risk as those individuals have exhibited no symptoms of Ebola and therefore are not contagious.

She also said IDPH is noti¿ed of all individuals entering the state who have been identi¿ed as being at risk for Ebola. Those individuals are giv-

en strict guidelines for monitoring, and will be aware of the procedure to follow if they experience Ebola-like symptoms. That structured process includes plans for their being transported to specific facilities which have been designated for care of Ebola patients.

For individuals wishing to learn more about Ebola, the home page of the FGH website, FranklinGeneral. com, includes a link to information posted by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa Injured Workers By . . .

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less thaQ what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off.

Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.

Franklin General Hospital (FGH) has joined with other hospitals in the Mercy Health Network – North Iowa to launch a Chest Pain Network, a comprehensive and coordinated practice for treating patients with chest pain.

The network includes hospitals in Algona, Britt, Cresco, Emmetsburg, Iowa Falls, Mason City, New Hampton and Osage.

As part of the Chest Pain Network, all emergency doctors and staff will use the same steps, based on best practices, in the treatment for an individual suffering chest pain. The goal is to more quickly and accurately diagnose whether the chest pain is a symptom of a heart attack.

Once the heart attack is accurately diagnosed, the heart catheterization lab at Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa in Mason City will be activated, even before the patient has arrived at Mercy.

“The goal is to get patients into a cath lab as fast as possible,” said Samual Congello, DO, Medical Director of the Interventional Cardiology at Mercy – North Iowa.

“As we say in cardiology, ‘time is muscle’, meaning the sooner treatment is given, the better chances for a good outcome and less damage to the muscles in the heart.”

To initiate the Chest Pain Network, Cardiologists at

Mercy – North Iowa created a standard process to examine patients who experience chest pain. To become part of the network, each community hospital reviewed the expected process and agreed to follow it. Emergency department providers and staff were then trained on the new process.

Because chest pain can be a symptom of a heart attack as well as many other less serious afÀictions, it can be dif¿cult to determine the cause. The new practice will help accurately diagnose a heart attack at the community hospital.

At that time, the provider will contact Mercy – North Iowa, where the catheterization lab will be prepared for the patient, as the patient is just leaving the community hospital. The time savings with the new process is achieved by not requiring the patient to be examined again in the Mercy – North Iowa Emergency Department before activating the cath lab.

“The Chest Pain Network will be a great bene¿t to our patients, helping them get needed treatment as quickly as possible,” said FGH CEO Kim Price. “This is just one example of how our network is working to improve health care to rural Iowans.”

The Governor’s Traf¿c Safety Bureau, along with local, county and state law enforcement of¿cers, are once again teaming up for the Special Traf¿c Enforcement Program (sTEP) during the Thanksgiving holiday to save lives and reduce crashes.

Beginning Nov. 24 and running through Nov. 30, there will be an increased presence of law enforcement of¿cers on Iowa roadways. Of¿cials are encouraging drivers to obey traf¿c laws and buckle up, slow down and pay attention to signs during times of increased traf¿c.

Seventy-¿ve percent of all occupants ejected from a vehicle during a crash are killed. In 2013, Iowa had 317 traf¿c fatalities with 107 involving unrestrained victims. Buckling your seatbelt takes less than three seconds.
