H-D board OK’s 5 summer projects

Commencement exercises were held at CAL Community High School on Sunday afternoon. NICK PEDLEY/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE

BY NICK PEDLEY The Hampton-Dumont Board of Education unanimously approved a list of summer projects during a brief meeting Monday night. Most of the projects will improve entry areas and parking lots at the district’s four school buildings. The total price tag for the five-item list is around $50,000. Three of the projects will be completed at North Side Elementary for around $43,000. The gravel parking lot will be improved, a bus loading area will get attention, and the north entrance to the building will receive updates. The projects coincide with other improvements planned at North Side this year to accommodate kindergarten’s move to the building next fall. The board also discussed technology updates at North Side. The school is planning multiple improvements to modernize the building’s technological infrastructure over the next few months, and officials will continue scheduling those updates in the months ahead.

The public is invited to New Hope Parish UMC’s Memorial Day dinner on May 25, from 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., at the Dumont American Legion Hall. The menu includes beef burgers, ham sandwiches, potato salad, baked beans, pie, ice cream, other assorted desserts, lemonade and coffee. The dinner is free will offering.

Council sets timeline for library wall repairs

to 17 seniors

BY NICK PEDLEY Friends, faculty and family members said goodbye to the CAL High School Class of 2015 during an hour-long commencement ceremony Sunday afternoon. Seventeen students comprised this year’s senior class. Members of CAL’s adminstration commended the group for their hard work and wished them the best in their future endeavors. “Today is an important milestone for our graduates. It is a time to rejoice and a time to celebrate a job well done,” said Principal Scott Striegel. “It’s also a time to look to the future and take to heart the message in the class motto: ‘We have come a long way, but not half as far as we will go.’ “ Science teacher Jane Halladay and art instructor Patty Reed were this year’s guest speakers. The duo urged the graduates to take risks and “think outside of the box.”

“Seniors, the sky is the limit. Buy the ticket and take the ride,” said Reed. “Go have adventures, make new memories, tell new stories. I’ll always remember you.” Halladay echoed Reed’s sentiments and reminded the students how lucky they were to receive a world class education at CAL. “You’ve been given a precious and very loving gift,” she said. The program also featured a final vocal performance by senior members of the choir and a slideshow that included photos from the class’ 13 years together. Commencement wrapped up with the traditional mortarboard toss, hand shakes and hugs. “May the lessons learned at CAL allow you to pursue your dreams, and may your dreams bring happiness,” said Striegel.

BY NICK PEDLEY A repair project scheduled for the curved brick at the Hampton Public Library inched forward following a decision at last Thursday’s city council meeting. The council unanimously approved an agreement with SEH, Inc. for future engineering services related to the project. The agreement, which will cost the city around $14,600, establishes a set timeline for repairs and allows SEH to oversee architectural services during the project. “We’re one step closer to making this project a reality,” said City Manager Ron Dunt.

Despite slow down, bird flu still posing hazards for local producers

EARLY DEADLINES Legal Notices ............... Tuesday, 5 p.m.

BY TRAVIS FISCHER Bird f lu continued its spread across the state last week, but poultry producers working together with local, state and federal agencies may be winning the fight against the outbreak. Since April 13, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) has found 52 proba-

ble cases of avian influenza across 14 counties, 44 of which have been confirmed, affecting more than 25 million chickens and turkeys in the state. Three of those cases have been found in Wright County egg laying facilities. Although initial estimates from IDALS stated a potential 6.8 million birds in Wright County may be affected, confirmation testing has

Emergency declaration still in effect A state of emergency is still in effect throughout Franklin County to protect local poultry producers from the threat of bird flu. There were no known cases of the highly pathogenic virus in the county as of Tuesday morning. Officials made the emergency declaration on May 8 to free up funds for prevention strategies aimed at slowing the bird flu’s spread, but no producers had asked for assistance as of Monday, according to Emergency Management Coordinator Thomas Craighton. Emergency officials are still asking residents to avoid traveling near Franklin County’s six commercial poultry facilities, all of which are located in the western half of the county. However, all county roads remain open around each site.

lowered that number to 4.7 million across the three locations. The USDA is working on-site at these locations to contain the spread of the virus, which has many people asking the same question: How do you get rid of 4.7 million birds? “Some of these populations can be a real challenge,” says Dr. TJ Myers, Associate Deputy Administrator for Veterinary Services within the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. While techniques for euthanizing birds may vary from site to site, Myers says that one of the methods used is hypercapnea, commonly known as carbon dioxide poisoning. The infected birds will be placed in a sealed cart and exposed to carbon dioxide, bringing about a quick death. Myers couldn’t give an estimate of how many birds can be euthanized at once by this method, but euthanizing millions of anything is a lengthy procedure regardless of the method.

BY NICK PEDLEY Students at St. Paul’s Lutheran School in Latimer were visited by a unique four-legged guest during a special biology lesson on May 13. Hampton veter inar ian Zach Vosburg showed off his pet goat, Strider, and taught students about the numerous aspects of animal care. The students, many of whom have been learning biology basics, were able to ask Vosburg questions about animals and relate the information to their classroom lessons. Genetics, gestation periods and cell development were all discussed during the special hands-on ses-

sion. Vosburg shared interesting tidbits about Strider that made some students giggle and others curious about the young goat. “His favorite treat is stale donuts. He also loves to eat things like muffins, biscuits and toast,” said Vosburg. “He really likes people and is calm, cool and collected. My staff has spoiled him enough to where he’ll just sit on your lap and fall asleep.” Vosburg gave students an overview of medical exams and other normal duties performed by veterinarians. He sees a variety of animals on any given day, which keeps him on his toes. Vosburg said the diversity was one of his favorite things about being a vet. “Different animals are designed differently, and we have to know exactly how they work,” he said. “That’s one of the cool things about this job. We don’t get to ask our patients whether they’re sick or not, we just have to know.” See GOAT: Page 3

My mother wore white Editor’s note: As Franklin General Hospital nears its 100 th anniversary later this year, a committee of individuals is researching the hospital’s rich history and will share pieces of the story in coming months. Here, former Hampton resident Dr. Milt Sernett shares memories of his mother, Wilma, who attended the school of nursing and spent her entire nursing career at the Lutheran Hospital/FGH. A book of FGH’s history, including this and other stories, will be available this fall. Watch for details. In honor of my mother, Wilma (Berghoefer) Sernett, I would like to offer a few reflections about her many years wearing white working as a nurse at Hampton’s Lutheran Hospital, now Franklin General Hospital. She took her professional career seriously. One indication of that is a note she wrote in her copy of “A Reference Hand-Book for Nurses,” published in 1927. She inscribed the book “Miss Wilma Berghoefer Luth. Hosp. June 3, 1928, ‘alumni.’” She added the maxim: “Ethics is the science of human endeavor to do right.” In 1925 she entered the training program of the Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing affiliated with the Hampton hospital. As part of her training, she took summer courses at Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls. In order to qualify for licensing as a registered nurse, Wilma also took courses in the nursing program at the University of Iowa. Mother received her certification as a registered nurse in 1928. Initially, she did private duty work, caring for area residents in their homes. The 1940 census counted mother among those living in the nurses’ residence in town. It was a large

structure that had once been the dwelling of T. J. B. Robinson, a United States representative from 1922 to 1932. She worked at what we called the “old hospital” until 1971, when new facilities went up east of Hampton. For most of her career, mother was on night duty from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on the maternity ward of the old hospital. She told stories of having to assist with births or, when a doctor did not arrive on time, deliver babies. I have a copy of one of the Delivery Record volumes and can recognize the names of several of my high school classmates who gave birth while mother was on duty. One grateful father, a farmer as I recollect, tried to give mother his watch as a token of his appreciation for her assistance with a difficult birth. After our father died in 1950, mother went back to work full time, putting the four of us (Milton, Laureen, Gilbert and Dorothy) to bed before going to the hospital. She returned in the morning to see that we had breakfast and got off to school. Mother’s tenure on the “baby f loor” was long enough that she assisted with the births of several generations. People would come up

to her in public with their adult offspring and introduce a son or daughter whom Mother had helped bring into the world. When the Hampton Centennial came around in 1970, she rode the hospital f loat wearing her nurse’s uniform. After the new hospital was built east of Hampton, mother worked in long-term care there until her retirement. I suppose there were emotional rewards with witnessing the birth of a baby that were unlike those of caring for adults, some of whom were reaching the Biblical equivalent of their “four score and 10.” Mother retired in March 1975, after 23½ years of continuous service and approximately 37 years of nursing work altogether. She passed away at the “new” Franklin General Hospital on July 28, 1988. • About the author Dr. Milton C. Sernett was born in 1942 in Hampton, the eldest of the four children of Wilma and Lee Sernett. He graduated from Hampton High School in 1960 and in 1968 from Concordia Theological Seminary, St. Louis. After receiving his Ph.D. in American History in 1972, Sernett taught for three years at Concordia

FREEDOM ROCK

Full lineup of area Memorial Day programs May 24-25 Multiple Memorial Day services are planned throughout the area on Sunday and Monday. Local residents should be cognizant of inclement weather, which could force changes to the program schedule. • Hampton Memorial Day services will kick off Monday morning with a parade starting downtown and ending at the cemetery. The parade forms at the intersection of First Street Northwest and Second Avenue Northwest at 9 a.m. and leaves promptly at 9:30 a.m. The program begins at the cemetery monument once the parade arrives. A mix of music, prayer and speeches will greet service goers at the cemetery. John Krull will read General Logan’s Orders, and Aidan Carr will deliver “The Gettysburg Address.â€? “Taps,â€? “America the Beautifulâ€? and “The Star Spangled Bannerâ€? will also be performed. Monday’s guest speaker will be Kelly Steffen, a history teacher at Vinton-Shellsbu rg High School. Steffen has more than 10 years of experience teaching American history, world histor y and world religion to high school students. Steffen has Steffen made progressive connections between her classroom lessons and local veterans

at Vinton-Shellsburg. The Vinton VFW honored Steffen for her work with a Recognition of Appreciation and she also received the Class Act Award for organizing the annual Veterans Day assembly. In case of rain, the parade will be canceled and the program will be held at the Church of the Living Word auditorium at 10 a.m. The Hampton American Legion and Veterans of Foreign War posts are looking for volunteers to help put up the Avenue of Flags for Memorial Day. Those interested in helping should meet at the cemetery on Thursday, May 21, at 5 p.m. The flags will be taken down on Tuesday, May 26, at 5 p.m. • Coulter/Latimer/Alexander Services in western Franklin County will kick off on Sunday, May 24, at the First Reformed Church in Alexander at 1:15 p.m. The program will proceed to the town cemetery for a 2 p.m. service. Coulter will hold a service on Sunday at 3 p.m. in the cemetery. The program will be canceled in case of rain. St. Paul Lutheran Church in Latimer will hold a service at 9 a.m in the cemetery on Monday. In case of rain, the program will be moved to the church. • Dows area A program will be held at the Popejoy cemetery at 9 a.m. on Monday. Services will then move to Fairview Cemetery in Dows for a 10:30 a.m. program. • Ackley/Geneva Memorial Day programs in the Ackley area begin Sunday with a

service at Pleasant Hill Cemetery at 12:30 p.m. The group will move on to Lindenwood Cemetery north of Geneva for a second program at 1 p.m. In case of rain, the service will be held at the Geneva Methodist Church. The program will head back to Ackley for a burial at sea service at 1:30 p.m. in Prairie Bridge Park. Another program will be held at 2 p.m. in Hazel Green Cemetery west of Cleves. On Monday, an 8:30 a.m. program will be held at Grand JiVantÊ in Ackley. The service will proceed to main street for a 9 a.m. service at Victory Park, which leads into a 9:45 a.m. service at Oak Wood Cemetery. The program will wrap up at 10 a.m. at the Catholic cemetery. A free will offering lunch will be held at Post #252 headquarters in Ackley at 12 p.m. • Sheffield A program will be held on Monday at 11 a.m. in Hillside Cemetery. In case of rain, services will be moved to the West Fork High School gym. • Dumont area Dumont Legion Post #360 will kick off Memorial Day services on Monday at 9 a.m. at the West Fork River bridge north of Dumont. A service will be held at the Dumont cemetery at 10 a.m., with another service scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Harlan Cemetery west of town. The program will move to the Hansell cemetery for an 11.45 a.m. service. A lunch will be held at 12:15 p.m. in the Hansell Community Center. Rev. Doug Tharpe will deliver the message at all services.

ronmental sampling in the facility to make sure we have no virus lingering there before repopulating,� said Myers. “The real challenge with all of that is that there are so many facilities that got affected in such a short period of time.� Repopulation may take longer than hoped, depending on whether or not the virus continues to spread in the area. Even though a facility may be cleaned, neighboring facilities still pose a risk to new birds. So far, none of the sites with confirmed infections have been cleared for restocking. “We have to be cautious about restocking too soon because you don’t want to get back in the same situation,� said Myers. “If we see additional cases, that just drags the time out because you don’t want to put susceptible birds back into an area that has a lot of ongoing infection in the neighborhood.� Although the virus first arrived in Iowa in April, scientists have been tracking its progress across North America since last December. Ge-

netics analysis discovered the virus came from Asia and spread through wild flocks during migration season. “The initial cases we were seeing seemed to just pop up here and there. That argues for wild birds contaminating the environment,� said Myers. “Since then we have found some anecdotal evidence that we have probably had lateral spread from farm to farm.� While it seems likely that migrating birds are responsible for carrying the virus across the continent, “lateral spread� is what may cause the virus to infect neighboring facilities once the infection has been established. Myers says they are still investigating exactly how lateral spread happens, but there are many possibilities. Infected birds can spread the virus through fecal, oral and nasal secretions, any of which can contaminate ponds and fields. The virus can even be carried by the wind on a speck of dust. Area poultry producers have made great efforts in stepping up their bio-secu-

“He’s been doing it for various Freedom Rock projects when he has free time, which is nice of him,� said Gladys Fanny, Post 658 treasurer. “The Freedom Rock is for the vets and I think he just wants to help.� Eventually, the rock will be painted with a patriotic theme by Ray “Bubba� Sorensen II. The artist has already painted Freedom Rocks in 28 counties throughout the state and he hopes to have one in all 99 counties someday. Franklin County is currently on a waiting list with 53 other counties. Post 658 sent Sorensen an application and $1,000 down payment last September and began fundraising efforts shortly thereafter. The total cost of a Freedom Rock typically runs between $5,000-$6,000, which covers paint, labor, travel costs and hotel expenses. Sorensen painted 12 Freedom Rocks last year alone. He only paints the rocks from April to October and is currently booked for the next four to five years, according to his website. Fanny said the extended timeframe would give Post 658 plenty of time to get Franklin County’s rock situated at its final resting place. “I’m not sure of a date for when it will get moved, but I’m not concerned if it doesn’t happen for a while,� she said. In the meantime, Post 658 members will continue fundraising efforts in hopes of reaching their $7,000 goal. Any additional money will be used to landscape the area around the Freedom Rock. Franklin County’s reservation could get bumped up on Sorensen’s list if other counties aren’t ready when their turn comes. So far, Post 658 has raised around $2,500. If you would like to contribute, send donations to Gladys Fanny, 109 5th Ave. SE, Hampton, IA 50441; or drop them off at First Citizens National Bank in Latimer.

BIRD FLU “With a large house of two and a half million or so, it does take quite a while to work your way through that,� he said. The carcasses have to be disposed of once the birds are euthanized. There are a variety of options available from composting to incineration to burial, but the method used largely depends on each situation and the resources available. “All of that work is really site specific depending on the facility and the number of birds,� said Myers. In other states, the birds may be taken to landfills, but Myers says that method has not yet been approved in Iowa. “We’re working with the state to see if we can have that as an option.� From quarantine to disposal to disinfection, the USDA creates a “flock plan� to determine what needs to be done and how they plan on doing it. This includes establishing contracts to clean up affected facilities and monitoring them until they are deemed safe for repopulation. “Once that cleaning and disinfection is done, we like to do envi-

GOAT Vosburg gave an overview of animal anatomy. He brushed on the respiratory system, digestive tract and other vital areas that make animals tick. The vet also shared multiple anecdotes from his career. He described one story in which a dog ate a Doc Martin boot, which required surgery after the sole got stuck in the poor pooch’s gut. “We could tell it was a Doc Martin because the logo was still visible in the rubber,� said Vosburg. “That’s all part of the job. Occasionally we have to open them up because they’ll eat stuff they shouldn’t.� The story garnered some shrieks and shriveled noses from the audience, but they enjoyed the vet’s visit nonetheless. Vosburg encouraged the students to study their biology books and pursue a career in science if they were interested. “I grew up with animals. I al-

ways had an inkling I was going to be a vet,� he said. “There’s a whole slough of jobs you can do as a veteri-

narian that don’t necessarily revolve around animal care.�

rity to minimize any potential avenues for the virus to spread. “It may not be just one. It might be any number of factors,� said Myers. “You just have to think of the environment as potentially contaminated.� On the up side, it appears that the spread of the virus may be starting to slow. Warm weather helps kill the virus in the environment, so it will have fewer avenues to spread as the days get hotter. When combined with quarantine measures at infected sites and heightened bio-security at non-infected sites, the worst of the outbreak may be over. “Over the last week we’ve seen the number of new cases plateau, so that steep climb in the number of cases we saw in April seems to have flattened out, so that’s a good sign,� said Myers. “We’re really hopeful that starts to tail off very quickly.� Myers says that his organization will be spending the summer learning as much as they can about the virus before fall. There is concern of a second outbreak happening as migratory water fowl move back across the continent. One way to prevent future outbreaks may be vaccinating new birds against the virus. However, that option is not without its complications. So far there are no existing vaccinations that are a good match for this new strain of virus, so it’s unclear if a vaccine would be effective. Vaccinations also have trade implications. Market forces may make vaccinations counter-productive to producers. “We are giving consideration to possibly using a vaccine, but we haven’t made that determination yet. There’s a lot of consideration that needs to go into that,� said Myers. “I think our immediate goal is to continue doing the eradication activities that we have been doing.� In the immediate future, Myers says that their next big challenge will be getting the currently infected facilities cleaned and disinfected, then making a determination as to where and when they can repopulate.

The board of education proposed a package that would have created what Widen described as a “performance pay-type of approach.� The program would have offered incentives to teachers that improved student achievement in certain targeted areas. “That was very important to the board, but they couldn’t agree on a package,� Widen said. The board also approved the 2015-16 calendar at the special meeting. Classes begin on Aug. 25 and end on May 24, 2016. The board unanimously approved contracts for various administrative

and support staff during a separate meeting on May 11. A 3.25 percent salary increase was unanimously approved for Scott Striegel, Amanda Heiden and Frank Patrick, as was a 3.25 percent hourly wage increase for Gloria Lawler, Eugene Miller, Karen Waage and Bradley Waddle. The board also approved various contracts for extracurricular instructors during the May 11 meeting. All but three positions are filled for next year. CAL officials are seeking applicants for an assistant football coach, assistant volleyball coach and assistant girls’ soccer coach.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

Celebrate Memorial Day the right way On Monday millions of Americans will gather to commemorate the heroes that paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting our freedoms and liberties. Memorial Day gives us a chance to reflect on past conflicts while showing appreciation for those who gave their lives, and we encourage you to express your gratitude by honoring these brave men and women next week. People fail to realize the holiday’s true meaning far too often. Most celebrate it by breaking out the grill, gathering with friends or simply kicking back and relaxing. While Memorial Day provides a welcome reprieve from the weekly grind, it shouldn’t be used as an excuse to gorge on hamburgers and gulp beers in the backyard – it’s a day of remembrance and should be treated as such. Memorial Day started off as a somber day of tribute; a day when Americans wore poppies and placed flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes. It was a day to remember ancestors, family members and loved ones who died serving our country. But now, too many people neglect the real purpose and meaning of the day. How do we honor the 1.8 million men and women that sacrificed their life for America? How do we thank them for their profound contributions? These are simple questions that have equally simple answers. We’re lucky to live in an area that honors the true meaning of Memorial Day with public ceremonies and other services. We’re proud of our veterans and humbled by the sacrifices of those who died in the line of duty. Our nation was founded on principles of freedom and individual liberties, and we should honor those who died protecting our basic rights from the threat of tyranny and oppression. Their sacrifice is one not many could fathom. We owe our freedoms to the bravery of the past. By remembering our country’s fallen, we will never forget the ultimate price of our modern day rights and liberties. Please commemorate Memorial Day by attending one of the many ceremonies planned throughout the area. It’s the very least you can do to honor the individuals that died protecting this country.

Improving the impaired Iowa’s embattled waterways took another hit last week following the release of the impaired water bodies list. According to the Department of Natural Resources, the number of polluted lakes, rivers and streams in Iowa jumped from 630 to 725 since 2012. The announcement fueled ongoing debate raging over statewide pollution. Many groups feel the state isn’t doing enough to protect vulnerable bodies of water from the agriculture industry, while others claim the state has made strides towards improvement. In either case, more intervention tactics are needed on behalf of all entities to stop this trend from worsening. Much has been made about Iowa’s voluntary nutrient reduction strategy over the past two years. The plan is a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t go far enough towards curbing troublesome pollution. It’s clear more investment is needed if Iowa is to make worthwhile strides at reducing the list of impaired waterways. The Iowa Legislature has batted around a proposal this year that would generate more revenue for conservation projects throughout the state. Lawmakers have suggested raising the state’s 6 percent sales tax by 3/8 of a penny to generate between $120-$180 million for the Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund, which was approved by 63 percent of voters in 2010. However, no money has been put into the constitutionally-protected fund in five years. Properly financing programs like the Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund has the potential to create conservation projects that could lead to improved water quality. It’s clear our state needs to make more efforts to reduce pollution, but if we fail to do so, the list of impaired waterways only promises to grow in the years ahead.

Hampton woman grateful for quality local health care Letter to the Editor: I fell and crushed my hip on April 12. I went to Mercy in Mason City to have it replaced, and a few days later came back to the hospital here in Hampton. Trust me, if you need to be in the hospital or care center for some reason, be thankful it is Franklin General Hospital. From the doctors, nurses, therapy, housekeepers and dietitians, these folks are outstanding. Everyone was positive, helpful and most kind. We are truly blessed to have these folks available for us here in Hampton. Betty Flint Hampton

Failing our faith? Letter to the Editor: Upon hearing on the news that belief in God has shrunk to 70 percent, I took a look at the attendance at our churches and the lack of dedication by some members who claim faith, but have totally abandoned attending and listening faithfully to what God’s Word says to them. They have forsaken what should be “their first love,” God the Father, who created them and gave them life; God the Son, who redeemed them from the sin begun by Adam but carried through all generations and getting worse each day; and God the Holy Spirit, who when we become God’s child through baptism, lives within us. It is a fact of life that if you don’t eat you starve to death. It is the same with faith. If you don’t take in any nourishment from God’s Word you aren’t going to grow, and hence you become cynical and blame God for everything bad that comes your way. Paradise was ruined by human beings and our world is becoming

more corrupt; not because of what God has done, but what we have done! The atheists and agnostics do not want to believe God’s Word, but what book ever written has fulfilled prophecies written thousands of years ago like the Bible has? Yes, there is lots of violence recorded in the Bible. But there is also much love revealed throughout it in what Christ did for us, giving us forgiveness if we repent of our wicked ways and the final reward of Heaven through his sacrifice. Look at all the disasters that have happened in recent years. Are we wise enough to realize that most of them came about because of our own sin and rebellion, or also maybe see that God is using them to try to bring us back to Him? With a family’s children, sometimes tough love is the only way a child learns what real love is. Can we wake up and see the truth about ourselves? I hope so before it is too late. Melba Muhlenbruch Hampton

Negotiations continue as lawmakers eye session’s end As we continue on the path toward adjournment for this legislative session, our focus remains on passing a sustainable, responsible and balanced state budget. Most appropriations bills are being considered in conference committees, where the House and Senate will work together to seek compromise on the differences between our proposals. This week the House debated the Health and Human Services appropriations bill on the floor. This budget provides funding for programs like Medicaid, mental health care, services for troubled youth, help for our seniors and veterans, and job opportunities for Iowans with intellectual disabilities. This is a $2.3 billion budget with another $4.5 billion coming from federal dollars. Also included in the bill is funding related to family planning services. Currently the state receives money from the federal government to provide these services in Iowa, but like most federal programs, when we take federal dollars it comes with strings attached and we lose control of how the program is operated. This bill cuts the federal strings tied to family planning services, while ensuring we are not sending taxpayer dollars to abortion providers.

UNDER THE GOLDEN DOME, TOO

Linda Upmeyer As our conferees continue working through each budget, we remain vigilant about sticking to our budgeting principles. These are the same principles we’ve insisted upon over the past four years that have served the state well. Since beginning debate on the various pieces of the state budget, we have seen amendments offered that would increase state spending by over $165 million. We have resisted these proposals in order to ensure we do not spend more than the state has available. Living outside our means and spending one-time money on ongoing expenses will only lead to uncertainty, economic trouble, and decreased services for Iowans in the future. With ever-increasing Medicaid obligations, a decrease in expected revenue for the next fiscal year, and maintaining our commitment to increase K-12 funding by $100 million next year, we have had to make some

tough budget decisions this year. Additionally, we do not yet know the full impact the avian flu outbreak will have on the state’s economy. It is likely many Iowa families’ budgets will be affected and there will undoubtedly be an impact on the state through tax revenue. For all of these reasons, it is now more important than ever to pass a sustainable budget plan. As we move forward, we will continue to work with the governor and Senate to pass the most responsible and commonsense state budget for Iowans. Graduation season has arrived! College and high school auditoriums and gymnasiums around the state are being filled with departing grads and proud family members sitting in the stands. I’ve been reading about the many awards and scholarships our students have been receiving for all of their hard work. Congratulations, and I wish the Class of 2015 all the best in the future! Thank you for reaching out to me over the past several weeks. It is always helpful to hear your feedback about issues you either support or have concerns about. Please continue to contact me anytime at linda. upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or (515) 281-4618.

Senate votes to improve quality of life for Iowans This week, the Senate voted to improve the quality of life for Iowa families, expand Iowa’s middle class and attract new workers and businesses to our communities. The state’s annual infrastructure budget funds projects to expand community attractions, improve state parks, help clean up lakes and rivers, and support recreational trails. These amenities make Iowa a great place to live, work and play. They are also good investments that strengthen local businesses and increase Iowa’s overall attractiveness to job seekers and investors. The legislation approved in the Senate includes: • $3 million for the Housing Trust Fund, which helps Iowa families secure decent, safe and affordable housing. • $7 million for Community Attractions & Tourism, $500,000 for Regional Sports Authorities and $500,000 for rural YMCAs. • $5 million to improve Iowa’s state parks and $6 million for recre-

The goal now is to come to an agreement with the House on these and other investments. The Senate is working to complete an overall state budget that is the same amount as the Gov. Terry Branstad’s proposed budget. We remain focused on expanding Iowa’s middle class by supporting local schools and community colleges,

freezing tuition for the third straight year at our state universities and making strategic investments to grow Iowa’s economy. • Additional information This is a legislative column by Sen.

Franchises are worth a lot. Write a book about two space wizards stuck on a hostile planet and it might get a second look from hardcore sci-fi fans. Slap the words “Star Wars” on the cover though and you’ve got a best seller on your hands. A so-so movie about an alien hiding on Earth who attracts the attention of his own kind, resulting in drama and mass destruction. In 2011 this movie was called “I Am Number Four” and it made $55 million domestically. In 2013 it was called “Man of Steel” and it made $291 million. Sometimes branding is used to inform consumers. People rush out to see the latest Marvel Studios movie not just because they have a particular attachment to the characters, but because Marvel Studios has a proven track record of making entertaining movies. On the flip side, branding can also be used to exploit consumers as well. The comic book side of Marvel, along with DC, practically runs on this practice. A depressing number of books could never justify their cover price if they weren’t standing on the shoulders of better stories that came before. It’s an industry almost completely dependent on consumers buying books out of habit or loyalty to a character, with the merits of the creative team coming in a distant second on the list of priorities. But while the comic book industry may crash and burn before they allow new characters to replace established ones, something interesting has been happening in the video game industry lately. It started with Mega Man, or rather, a lack of Mega Man. What was once one of Capcom’s most beloved franchises has been inexplicably absent from the market in recent years. Capcom, a company best known for releasing six different versions of “Street Fighter II,” hasn’t put out a new Mega Man game since 2010. Fans wanted a new Mega Man game, but Capcom wouldn’t make one. So what did Keiji Inafune, one of Mega Man’s original creators, do about it? He left Capcom, started his own company called Comcept, and began development on “Mighty No. 9,” which is, for all intents and purposes, the next Mega Man game. It looks like Mega Man, it presumably plays like Mega Man, it’s produced by the creative minds that made Mega Man. While Capcom has made games that are Mega Man in name only, Comcept is making a game that is Mega Man in everything but the name. And Inafune is just one of a few high profile game developers who have broken off from their corporate overlords and gone solo in recent years. Koji Igarashi, who pioneered the “Metroidvania” style games in the Castlevania franchise, left Konami last year. At the time, I mused that he might “pull an Inafune” and create his own Castlevania knock-off. Last week he did just that, announcing a Kickstarter for “Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night,” a spiritual successor to Igarashi’s Castlevania work. Likewise, thanks to Kickstarter, there’s a new adventure game on the way called “Yooka-Laylee,” a spiritual successor to “Banjo-Kazooie.” Created by Rare in the late 90s, “Banjo-Kazooie” was one of the defining games of that generation. The intellectual rights are currently owned by Microsoft, who has little affiliation with the original developers and has done precious little with the franchise. Instead, the creative talent behind the beloved platformer, now working under Playtonic Games, are making a new franchise to replace the one they can’t legally continue. In all three cases we’re seeing gamers f lock towards talent, rather than brand recognition. Igarashi said that his former bosses at Konami didn’t think his style of gothic exploration would sell. 29,000 backers raising more than $2 million in under a week say otherwise. This leaves me wondering how much power franchises really have when they’re put to the test. Konami still owns the Castlevania name, but how much is that name worth now that it has direct competition from the guy who built the franchise in the first place? What will happen if Capcom decides to make another Mega Man game? Will the fandom embrace it, or will they abandon it for the new franchise? (Honestly, they’ll probably buy both.) More importantly, could this demand for popular creators to continue their work outside of corporate owned franchises translate to other mediums? Maybe we’re on the verge of a new generation of intellectual property not owned by Warner Brothers or Disney. At the very least, the added competition might get them to step up their game and not rest on their laurels. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and is still a sucker for pretty much anything owned by Disney.

Clint Eastwood’s biggest failure THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger Clint Eastwood has been in my life for as long as I can remember. Rowdy Yates in “Rawhide” driving cattle on the open range was foreign to me in Los Angeles, but now here I am with cows myself. In his 20s Clint was even a choker setter (a logger who attached cables to logs) like I was. His movies have always been meaningful, and stylized in order to convey that meaning. Both of those qualities have contributed to my being a big fan. But when, as mayor of Carmel, Calif., he legalized eating ice cream cones on the city’s sidewalks, my loyalty was certified. I’d like to see him ride into Hampton and liberate us from these ridiculous “beer gardens” at public events. I began reading up on Eastwood when I noticed a bizarre public disconnection between the film “American Sniper” and what I perceived as the meaning of that movie. Movies are stylized in order to create an illusion of reality. So I excused Clint for putting Chris Kyle on rooftops shooting people he obviously couldn’t see over the edge and down below. These minor hiccups (artistic license) paled in comparison to his major failure of making, what he

LOOKING BACK

called, an anti-war movie. Time and again the tragedy of a man abandoning his family and killing people who could not possibly pose a danger to him (unless he was invading their space to begin with), is ignored in favor of a religious-like adoration and fawning. I was talking to a well respected friend and mentioned “American Sniper.” He nearly went into a trance exclaiming how wonderful it was. His feelings were not on account of the impact “American Sniper” could make in saving lives in undeclared and unnecessary wars, because the conversation immediately turned to a different subject. I see a disturbing trend. Not a new one, but one that seems to be accelerating as if it is an Amtrak train full of commuters late for work. I have no poll results to confirm it but from media traffic it seems Islamic radicals are widely believed to be, far and away, the biggest threat to the human race. The latest proof of this is the two buffoons who were trying to attack a cartoon contest in Texas. So really, two losers out of hundreds of millions of people are cause to abolish the Fourth Amendment? A little perspective needs to be infused as we gather our thoughts. Murder is illegal already so we are past that for now. What are the other aspects of Islamic radicalism that pose this “existential threat?” There is no need to list them now because anyone who bothers to read this has a good idea of what they are. And every

single one of them is already illegal. Let’s go on and examine some examples of threats that are legal and a danger to our free society without so much as a whimper. One I read of in the Hampton Chronicle last week is that I will be forced to “facilitate” high-speed Internet for under-served areas of Iowa. It doesn’t seem like such a big deal does it? But it is when you consider all the other intrusions on our natural born rights. The mention of the words natural rights should be meaningful, but they have become mundane and anachronistic. The real problem is the distortion of the economy (that measures our relationships with others) makes us poorer by misallocating resources and thus producing waste. If there is a need for high-speed Internet, those who actually need it would find the most efficient way to access it. What have those two (supposedly) ISIS combatants done to our country compared to Sarbanes-Oxley (810 pages), the Affordable Care Act (1,024 pages) and Dodd-Frank (2,300 pages)? None of which are necessary except that they counter other economy distorting laws already on the books. Dare I mention public education? If a parent wants to educate their children as they please (they are their children), they have to pay twice; once for their own kids and once for the collective future pool of workers. This impacts lower income fam-

ilies the most as they will find it too expensive to instill their own values in their kids. Those kids will likely go on to be obedient wards of the state rather than independent thinkers with the values of their parents; the kind of thinkers that birthed this once free nation. Obedient wards of the state will not seem so friendly when the state does not share our values. I’m not pretending that people who would kill over a cartoon are not evil and can be safely ignored. That the expense of our maintenance of a world wide military presence dilutes our military capacity should be obvious when we spend almost as much as all other nations combined. Our freedom and prosperity is being taken by well intentioned bureaucrats at a rate that makes ISIS look like a tiny grain of sand in comparison. Follow the money when you hear of these threats or these “essential” programs. You will find the reason for the shrinking of the middle class. Clint Eastwood over estimated his audience and underestimated the propaganda machine that is enabling special interests to suck the life out of our republic. “American Sniper” should have started a conversation on the role Chris Kyle and his cohorts played in the world, not ended it.

We’re one step closer to making this project a reality. - Ron Dunt, City Manager The repairs are needed to fix a bulge in the library’s curved brick wall. The project is expected to cost upwards of $100,000 and will be paid for by a mix of city funds and donations. The project is budgeted for the 2015 fiscal year and is scheduled to begin by Aug. 19, according to the agreement. The project calls for a long list of repairs to fix the bulge. Contractors will first remove plaster inside the upper level wall and repoint cracked masonry joints, reinstall loose bricks and clay tiles, and replace other damaged masonry elements. Steel tubes spanning the height of the wall will then get inserted to strengthen the upper level. Finally, existing masonry will be secured and old lintels replaced. The project is scheduled for completion by Oct. 30. In other business, Police Chief Bob Schaefer reminded residents to lock their houses and car doors due to ongoing burglaries throughout Hampton and the surrounding area. “We just want to make sure things are locked up. Basically keep aware of the things around you,” he said.

Lucile Kenning

Barbara Jean Straw, 92, of Loveland, Colo. died on Wednesday, April 29. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 23, at Crossroads Church in Loveland, Colo. Barbara was born on August 5, 1922 in Hampton, to Delos Wells and Lillian Timmerman Mott. She grew up on the family farm in Hampton. She rode horses, played basketball, and Barbara Straw enjoyed spending time at the family’s cabin on Leech Lake in Northern Minnesota. She played basketball throughout her high school career, winning the women’s basketball state championship for Hansell High School in 1940. Barbara enlisted in the Navy during World War II. She was a WAVE from October 1943 to December 1945, stationed at Quonset Point, RI. After leaving the Navy, Barbara moved to Chicago where she married Richard Eugene “Gene� Straw of Hansell in February 1948. They had son Rick, born in 1948, followed 1922-2015 by Chuck in 1952, and quite by surServices: prise, daughter Teresa in 1965.

In 1972, Barbara and her family moved to Colorado Springs where Barbara began a career in apartment management. Barb loved animals, and always had horses, dogs, cats and assorted farm animals and urban wildlife in her care while living in Iowa. The menagerie was down-sized when they moved to Colorado Springs, but the family always had one or two cats and at least one Labrador completing the family. After retirement, Barb and Gene moved to the Wet Mountains in Southern Colorado. They lived in their mountain home until Gene suffered an accident in 1998. They then moved to Greeley, Colorado to be closer to family residing in Loveland, Colorado. Though Gene passed away in February of 1999, Barbara remained very active into her 80’s, continuing to garden, vacation with family, and looking after her grandchildren. Barbara passed away peacefully at Lemay Avenue Health and Rehabilitation Center in Fort Collins, CO where she had resided for the past two years. She is survived by her brother, David M. Mott (Mary Ellen Rimza), children, John Richard “Rick� Straw (Carole Shotwell), Charles D. Straw (Bonnie) and Teresa J. Warden (Chris).

The Dugger Fu1922-2015 neral Home of Belmond is in charge Services: of arrangements. Lucile was born on November 1:30 p.m., Saturday, May 23 5, 1922, in Hampton, daughter of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, William and Bertha (Rodemeyer) Latimer Schomburg. She fondly rememBurial: bered growing up on the family farm St. Paul’s Lutheran Cemetery, west of Latimer. She was baptized Latimer and confirmed at St. Paul’s LutherArrangements by: an Church in Latimer, and her faith Dugger Funeral Home, was always very important in her Belmod life. She graduated from elementary school at St. Paul’s Lutheran School, and then went to Latimer High School, where she was an avid player as a guard on the girls’ basketball team. After graduation in 1940, she attended Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls to earn her teaching degree. She taught in two one-room schoolhouses in the Latimer area: Maple Grove in Scott Township and Marion Center #2. On March 4, 1944, she married John Joseph Kenning in Waterloo, and they were blessed with two daughters, Janne and Jolene. They resided in Waterloo, Clarion, and Hampton, and in 1962 they moved to Aurora, Colorado. In 1969, Lucile returned to UNI to pursue a degree in library science and became the librarian at the Dows Community School in 1973. She thoroughly enjoyed her job as a school librarian and retired from Dows in 1993. Throughout her life, her greatest joy was spending time with her daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved attending their school and sporting events, and watching them grow. She liked visiting with friends, travelling and crocheting, and enjoyed watching a good basketball game, especially when the girls played six-on-six basketball. She never lost her love of reading and learning new things. There was always a dessert in her house, often cherry pie. And she always liked a nice bowl of ice cream before bed! Those left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Janne Schwerdt, Wheat Ridge, CO, and Jolene Bullis, Fairfield; grandchildren: Christi (Mike) Phillipps, of Los Gatos, CA; Brooke (Mike) Webster, of Evergreen, CO: Jenny (Jamen) Weber, of Edgewater, CO: Tracy Schwerdt, of Denver, CO: Heather (Derrick) Shaull, of Humboldt; and Cody Bullis, of Cedar Rapids; great-grandchildren Nicholas, Lauren, and Eric Phillips; Finnegan and Gibson Webster; Joshua and August Weber; Adrian and Haviana Schwerdt; Quentin Shaull; and Ariah Bullis; a brother-in-law, Mark Kenning, of Richardson, TX, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, sisters: Viola Reineking and Irene Rathmann, brothers: Raynor, Louis, Lester, and William Schomburg, niece, Savilla Younge, who grew up as a sister with her, and sons-in-law: Kerry Schwerdt and Jim Bullis.

Statewide cost-share available for water quality practices Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced last week that funds are available to help farmers install nutrient reduction practices. Practices eligible for this funding are cover crops, notill or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fertilizer. The cost share rate for firsttime users of cover crops is $25 per acre, no-till or strip till are eligible for $10 per acre and farmers using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer can receive $3 per acre. Any far mer not already utilizing these practices will receive priority consideration for this assistance. Farmers that have used cover crops in the past may be eligible for $15 per acre for cover crops. Farmers are eligible for cost share on up to 160 acres. The funds will be made available in July, but farmers can immediately start submitting applications through their local Soil and Water Conservation District office.

LATIMER NEWS There will be a Memorial Day service held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Cemetery in Latimer on Monday, May 25 beginning at 9 a.m. Everyone is invited to attend. There will be refreshments and a social time afterwards in the church parlor.

Farmers are also encouraged to visit their local Soil and Water Conservation District office to inquire about additional opportunities for cost share funding through other programs offered at their local SWCDs. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received $4.4 million for the Iowa Water Quality Initiative in fiscal 2015. These funds will allow the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship to continue to encourage the broad adoption of water quality practices through statewide cost share assistance as well as more intensive work in targeted watersheds. In the last two years this program has been available, over 1,400 farmers put in new nutrient reduction practices on over 144,000 acres. The state provided about $3.4 million in cost share funding to help farmers try a water quality practice for the first time and Iowa farmers provided at least another $3.4 million to support these water quality practices.

year teaching. I’d hate to think of the mistakes I’ve made this year, because I know I have.” Two other parents expressed support for Pecinovsky and the band – Dawn Vallery on behalf of her son, Christian, and Cynthia Krull on behalf of her son, John. The two women said their sons understood the difficulties Pecinovsky faced due to low participation numbers and other hurdles, and they appreciated her efforts and leadership.

Ultimately, Krull believed future improvement hinged on the H-D student body. “Students are going to make the biggest difference, and they just have to choose to do that,” she said. The school board did not comment on the situation during the meeting. Pecinovsky was in attendance and also remained silent.

BOARD In other business, the board approved a $130,000 budget amendment to cover expenditures incurred from the North Side renovation project. According to superintendent Todd Lettow, some of the architect and construction manager fees are being paid out of this year’s budget in order to keep the project on schedule for the summer, which prompted the amendment. Prior to the action items, a group of parents expressed polarized opin-

ions about the direction of the band program during an emotionally charged public comment period. Linda Buchanan read a prepared statement on behalf of her daughter, Rebecca, and other unnamed band students that directly criticized firstyear director Sara Pecinovsky. “My classmates and I are scared for the future of our program. We demand excellence every day as our tradition says, and we have gone almost a year without it,” Buchanan wrote.

The students claimed Pecinovsky wasn’t fulfilling the duties of her job and urged the school board to intervene. The students said they had a list of specific examples backing up their allegations and promised to send copies to the school board. Despite the vocal criticism, multiple parents showed their support for Pecinovsky and the band program. Liz Carr, whose son, Aidan, plays the drums, was hopeful about the future. She pointed towards the

concert band’s recent I Rating at the Iowa High School Music Association’s Large Group Festival as a reason for optimism. Carr, a middle school teacher, also criticized the students’ accusations and felt they were out of line. “What honors or awards have they not received this year that they would have received if we had a different band director?” she asked. “A first-year teacher makes mistakes. This is my thirty-second

Starting the Gears to Choosing Careers FIRST CAREER AND TECH DAY A SUCCESS AT H-D When adults look back at their time in high school, most of them would probably tell you that they wished they’d known then what they know now. Some of them would have made different choices regarding post-secondary schools and programs while others decided early what they wanted to do for a living and are content with that choice. The beauty of high school and even college for some, is that there is still time to make choices, and even change those choices several times by experimenting with course selection. Think you might want to be a doctor? Make sure you try Anatomy. Wonder if woodworking is the career for you? Sign up for Basic Construction. Still, it’s hard for high school students to imagine themselves as adults in the real world, working the same job every day. Thanks to the Hampton

community, as well as surrounding communities, high school students at H-D got to explore several careers that interest them during the high VFKRRO¡V Ă€UVW HYHU &DUHHU DQG Technologies Day. The Tech Cadre, a group of high school teachers who meet regularly to brainstorm and implement ways for students to become more independent with technological skills, came up with the idea of bringing in people from the community who represent different occupations and visiting with students who are interested in those respective careers. Nicki Prantner, a member of the Tech Cadre, explains, “We wanted students to have a chance to see the variety of opportunities right here in Franklin and Butler counties. We are so thankful for the community members that were willing to share about their work experiences and answer questions

for our students.� The day went off without a hitch, thanks to the meticulous planning of the committee. Prep for the event began months in advance. They (the Tech Cadre) started by asking each student to take a survey about professions or careers that interest them. Then, judging by the results of those surveys, they began reaching out to local businesses and inviting them to be featured speakers. When all was said and done, almost 60 business owners or professionals took time out of their workday to be a part of Career and Tech Day. But it didn’t stop there. Since there was an overwhelming number of people who were willing to lend their time, each group of professions were represented by different branches of that career to give students an idea of all of the different things they could do within that occupation. For example, in

the classroom that students visited if they were interested LQ JRLQJ LQWR WKH ÀHOG RI HGXcation, there was an administrator present, a curriculum director, a teacher, a literacy coach, and a para educator. In the sport and exercise group WKHUH ZDV D ÀWQHVV LQVWUXFWRU a sports radio broadcaster, and an athletic director. Students had unique schedules for the day. Each one rotating only to the rooms that had the occupations that they expressed an interest in. During each section, most of which had only 10 to 13 students per, professionals explained what their job is, what education they needed to perform that job, the positives about their job, the negatives, and their pay. Students were allowed to ask questions throughout thee presentation. When the belll rang, it was off reer on their into the next career dividualized schedule. Sophomore Bella Siems enjoyed

her experience, “I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do as a profession, but when I got to go to these sessions they provided information that other sources couldn’t.� In addition to career breakout sessions, each H-D high school student attended a session on cyber-bullying put on by the police department, and a session led by High School Attendance Liaison, Joel Heuer on A.L.I.C.E. (the most up-to-date protocols for an intruder posing a threat in the building). Students were also given the opportunity to visit technology sessions that gave them tips on Google apps, IMovie, and coding by H-D staff members Cynthia Krull and Amy Kangas. Mahlon Miller, also an H-D sophomore explained, “I liked the coding session the best. It helped me learn more about how the coding behind the Internet works.� High school teacher, Nikki

Donnenwerth, added, “It was very cool! I wasn’t part of the planning so I didn’t know a ton about what would be happening. It was so interesting that I found myself going in and out of classrooms just to hear what the different professionals had to say! I can’t think of many careers that weren’t represented at H-D that day. It really went well and I think the majority of the kids got a lot out of it.â€?

H-D’s Caitlyn Freese hits an overhand shot while volleying in her singles match on Tuesday, May 12. KRISTI NIXON/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Not enough time ƒ Bulldog girls’ tennis falls short against Webster City HAMPTON – Time crunch got the best of the Hampton-Dumont girls’ tennis team. With a band concert looming for a player, a doubles match had to retire and a couple of close losses in singles and doubles play led to a 6-3 loss to Webster City on Tuesday, May 12. Still, for coach Mark Drier and his Bulldogs, it was a good effort. “Great night for the Bulldogs,” Drier said. “(We) registered three wins, most since the team win over Grundy Center; great wins at Nos. 4 and 5 singles for (Gabbie) Tielke and (Caitlyn) Freese. (Bella) Siems had to retire and forfeit No. 2 doubles match, just not enough time.” Freese, at No. 5 singles, finished things up for H-D by using patience, particularly on her serve to outlast Megan Carpenter by an 8-4 score. She led 4-1, saw the match go to 4-3 before she closed it out. Along with Shaylin Beyer, who ended her No. 6 singles match with a win when her opponent had to retire because of injury, Freese nearly got two wins but went from a 6-all score

GREENE – Ramsey Kock eagled on the third playoff hole against Clarksville’s Trevor Fenneman to secure the medalist runner-up spot as his North Butler team won the Class 1A sectional at Round Grove Golf & Country Club hosted by the Bearcats.

The Huskies shot 365. N-P’s Devin Koob was the overall medalist, carding 77 to move on as an individual. The top five will move on to the district meet on Friday, May 22 at Pheasant Ridge Golf Course at Cedar Falls since Kock was among the top four golfers.

The Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the NASCAR season, takes place this Memorial Day weekend by returning to Charlotte Motor Speedway. This speedway currently hosts two of the biggest races on the NASCAR schedule. With cars lining up three and four-wide through 24-degree banked turns, you can bet there’s going to be a lot of excitement as 43 furious machines storm down the 1.5 mile track. Nearly 180,000 people will attend the race. Darrell Waltrip is a fivetime winner of the Coca-Cola 600 and so the inner perimeter road around the speedway was named in his honor. Last week’s winner, Denny Hamlin, finished 22nd in last year’s race.

Racing News NASCAR officials are investigating Jimmie Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports team for a possible rules violation during the Sprint All-Star Race on Saturday night. A NASCAR official said after the race that a crewman was being investigated for modifying the side skirt on Johnson’s car during the race. NASCAR implemented new rules prior to this season preventing teams from modifying the side skirts during a race. NASCAR also has new video cameras monitoring pit road, making such rules violations easier to detect. Any possible penalties would be announced this week.

AGW S R ’s D a l t o n S c h i p p e r watches the flight of his ball after teeing off at Round Grove Golf & Country Club on Friday, May 15 in Greene. He helped the Cougars advance to the district meet on Friday, May 22. KRISTI NIXON/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE

A skillful move with only three laps left in Saturday night’s nonpoints Sprint All-Star Race, allowed Denny Hamlin to deliver the first victory in the non-points showcase event. As he drove into Turn 1 to start Lap 97, with Kevin Harvick glued to his bumper and ready to make a run at the $1 million first prize, Hamlin moved up a lane in the corner and took Harvick’s line away, causing Harvick’s No. 4 Chevrolet to lose momentum. “It was more defense than anything, but it turned into offense for me,” Hamlin said. “Harvick kept getting closer and closer, and eventually he gets to that right rear quarter panel, and your race is done. Initially, I was looking in my mirror, and I knew it was going to be a defensive move to take his line.” Hamlin led the field to the green for the final segment and stayed in front the rest of the way, beating Harvick to the finish line by .823 seconds.

ADVANCING

TO STATE Second is enough for AGWSR’s Lippert

ƒ Soph distance runner qualifies for state in 3 events BY KRISTI NIXON NORTHWOOD – It could be discouraging leading the way for most of a distance race only to be passed in the final lap. But don’t tell that to AGWSR’s Bethany Lippert, a sophomore who likes being the front-runner, win or lose. And the Cougars’ dis-tance specialist used it to her advantage, qualifying for the Class 1A state meet in both the 1,500, 3000 and running a legg on the 4x800 relay during uring state-qualifying at Northwood thwood on Friday, May 15. “I think, for sure, the 4x8 because we cut down on our time a lot,” Lippert said of her chances on qualifying. “Hopefully, the 3,000 and pretty much for sure the 1,500. “It’s kind of disappointing, but I’m the one who likes to run in the

lead. It gives me confidence. Sometimes they get me in the end, but I think overall it helps my time to just stay in the lead as long as I can.” Lippert ran in the Class 3A state cross country meet in the fall for Iowa Falls-Alden, which she says should help her. “It gives me confidence that I’ve run in 3A and this is 1A, so that helps a lot,” Lippert said. “It will be good running at state.” Also r unning on the 4x800, which comes into the state field with the eighth-fastest fiel tim time in Class 1A, are her ol older sister, Jessica Lipppert, Maddie Brandt and Eri Siems. She joins the other three who ran to 111th in that event a year ago, only six-tenths of a seconds behind the time they recorded. They join Rachel Frazier, who will be making a return trip in the shot put for the Cougars, who won the event at Northwood with an effort of 35 feet, 3 inches. Frazier just missed the finals in 2014 in finishing 10th. She enters the field as the 10th-

best shot. Making its first trip will be the 4x400 team of Addison Johnson, Katie Gast, Maddie Brandt and Eri Siems, which qualified despite finishing third. They go in as the 19th-fastest time at 4:23.95. Also not new to the state scene among the boys is two-time Class 1A state runner-up in the shot put, senior Clay Meinders. His effort of 54 feet, 11 inches was more than enough to win it and give him the top seed. This time, he’ll be joined by his younger brother, Caleb, who went for 49-8.5, good for the sixth best throw going in. AGWSR also gained another state qualifier in the throws when sophomore Nathan Karsjens third-place discus finish was still good enough to make the field. He went for 141-9, seeded 17th overall. The Cougars’ 4x800 team, one of the favorites going in led for much of the race until being out-kicked at the end by North Butler. Still, the foursome of Alec Stahl, Sully Hofmeister, Austin Reckward and Mason Eilderts’ time of 8:30.34 was the ninth-fastest qualifying time.

Bulldogs make early exit

WAVERLY – All four Hampton-Dumont boys’ tennis entries in the Class 1A district tennis tournament on Friday, May 15 were ousted in the first round. Competing in a tough district at Waverly, coach Jim Davies’ team left without a team point in the seven-team field. Both singles players, Jonny Victor and Isaac Shelton lost their matches to Waterloo Columbus opponents, 6-0, 6-0. In doubles play, Spencer Clark and Edgar Romo lost 6-0, 6-0 against Waverly-Shell Rock’s Luke Willis and Ryan Willis. Lastly, Israel Ruiz and August Bollhagen played tough, but lost to Aplington-Parkersburg’s duo of Nick Ellis and Morgan Uhlenhopp, 6-0, 6-1. Advancing to the state meet out of the district were Clear Lake’s Sam Jones as well as Ryan Hageman of Decorah in singles while both Decorah doubles’ teams advanced. The Class 1A state singles and doubles tournament will be held at Byrne’s Park in Waterloo May 29-30.

Back to state

ƒ Few newcomers join SHR, Mason at Drake Stadium STORY CITY – Waiting is hard to do. But when one Class 2A state-qualifying track meet was postponed because of weather, that is exactly what many Hampton-Dumont’s athletes had to do after competing in miserable, rainy conditions on Thursday, May 15. Especially interminable for the Bulldogs’ boys shuttle hurdle relay team, which is making a return trip although two of the team members are new. Add to that the fact that one of the returnees was competing in the event for only the third time this season. But Coleton Barz, Ben VanHorn, Evan Koenen and and Cole Miller, finishing third, got the word that their season-best time of 1 minute, 1.36 seconds was the 21st fastest time out of 24 qualifiers, they were on their way. Koenen, recovering from a broken ankle suffered in the Bulldogs’ final playoff game against Dyersville Beckman only recently started running hurdles again. The girls’ shuttle hurdle relay team also had to wait for word. Although the Bulldogs finished fourth at Story City, Nadilee Eiklenborg, Dakota Sliter, Candela Castro and Cassy Miller’s clocking of 1:10.89, another PR, was the 20th fastest time in 2A. “I am so excited for the girls,” H-D girls’ coach Nikki Donnenworth said. “They had to overcome quite a lot to perform as well as they did. I don’t think the weather even

affected them a whole lot, but all four of them had been battling a serious flu. “We were missing runners to illness at conference so we didn’t fare as well as I would have liked, but they responded at districts, qualifying in five events.” A few for H-D didn’t have to wait at all, finishing either as district champion or runner-up to secure state berths. Madison Mason became a backto-back state qualifier in both the discus and shot put with a championship and runner-up spot in each event, respectively. Her throw in the discus was the 15th seed at 115 feet even. Mason’s effort in the shot put was 36-1.5. Freshman Patty Teggatz will be making the trip in the 3,000 as she put on a kick in the final lap to pass South Hardin’s Claire Damon to win the event in less than half a second. Cassy Miller secured a spot in the 100-meter hurdles in 16.55 and will be in the fifth of six preliminary heats in the event. “Madi Mason was steady as usual,” Donnenworth said. “The shuttle ran the best race they have all season, breaking their previous record and Patty Teggatz showed true guts coming from behind to win the district title in the 3,000. “And Cassy Miller ran the race of her life in the 100-meter hurdles.” The final qualifier for coach Dan Aalbers’ boys squad was Bo Brass, who was the runner-up in the open 400, securing the final qualifying time. Osage, which had perfect conditions on Friday on its make-up date, had four state qualifiers in that event.

OSAGE – West Fork’s threesome of Peyton Twedt, Drew Engebretson and Jacob Hansen will compete in three events at this week’s Class 2A state track & field meet in Des Moines.

BY DEB EISENTRAGER Is it getting hard to read? Does the type seem to be getting smaller? We can help you with that problem. Did you know the library has a large print collection? We have more than 300 large print books in our collection. Our library receives 15 books every month from the Decorah Public Library as part of their rotating collection. The Decorah Public Library Large Print Library was established in 1993 from a large print collection donation by the Northeast Iowa Library Service area. It currently contains over 10,000 volumes and is circulated to over 150 libraries throughout the state of Iowa. Funding for new purchases for the collection is made possible through the Library Services and Technology grant in conjunction with Iowa Library Services. The books are shipped free of charge by the United State Postal Service. The mailing is “Free for the Blind and Handicapped”. Volunteers and library staff from Decorah send out

over 25 boxes of books a week. We are fortunate to be part of this program. Every month we receive five titles in each of the following categories: westerns, romance and mysteries. We get to keep the titles for three months. The program allows us to have new titles available for our patrons without spending a cent. This allows us to purchase more books in other areas of the library. We receive books from popular authors, such as Debbie Macomber, Nora Roberts, Stuart Woods and Louis L’Amour. This is a great service for our library and I hope more patrons will utilize it. UPCOMING EVENTS May 20 – Lego League, 2-4 p.m. May 25 – Closed for Memorial Day.

Law enforcement agencies are ramping up efforts to keep Iowa’s roadways safe during the Memorial Day holiday. Recent crash data shows that motorists are buckling up more during the day than at night. The Click It or Ticket campaign across Iowa and the United States is focusing on heightened seat belt enforcement 24-7. A more defined focus of seat belt enforcement will take place between the evening/ overnight hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m., due to the significant number of violators and fatal crashes during this time period. Over the last 10 years, Iowa has averaged 5.3 traffic fatalities during the three-day Memorial Day holiday weekend. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),

@IHSMTA

nearly half of the 21,132 motorists who were killed on our nation’s roadways in 2013 were not wearing seat belts – that number jumped to 67 percent for males aged 13-15. Buckling up in the back seat is just as important. Half of all those riding in the front seat that were killed in crashes in 2012 were unrestrained, and 61 percent of those killed in back seats were unrestrained. Every fatality is more than just a statistic; it is a life, a family member or friend. The Iowa Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) want you to remember that the single most effective way to reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes is to wear a seat belt every day, on every trip.

Dr. Rachael Etnier to join FGH Franklin General Hospital (FGH) and Franklin Medical Center (FMC) are pleased to announce that Rachael Etnier, D.O., will join the FMC medical staff in Hampton this summer. Originally from Cherokee, Dr. Etnier earned her medical degree from Des Moines University-Osteopathic Medical Center and did her residency at Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa. She most recently served as a family practice provider with Mercy Family Clinic in Northwood, also working some shifts in urgent care. She will begin seeing patients in July. “We are very pleased to have Dr. Etnier join us,” said FGH CEO Kim Price. “She is easy-going and personable. In addition to being a caring physician, she’s an Iowa farm girl who is easy to talk to. She will be an excellent addition to our hospital and clinic.” Dr. Toni Lauffer, who is well acquainted with Dr. Etnier, was excited to have a new member on the FGH team. “I am happy to have Dr. Etnier join the providers at Franklin Medical Center. She is a long-time friend and neighbor as we went to medical school and residency together,” Lauffer said. “She will be a great asset to the team and improved patient access.” Dr. Etnier looked forward to joining the FGH staff and anticipated the transition. “I am excited and thrilled to be practicing in an area of need that is closer to my home. Most important, I look forward to getting better acquainted with the families I’ll be caring for,” she said. Dr. Etnier lives near Sheffield with her family, which includes her husband, Lon, and daughter, Charlee.

Applicants submitted hazard control projects and programs designed to improve the safety culture of the organizations. The top five projects from those submissions were chosen for this prestigious honor. Sukup received the award for improvements to an assembly process. A lift table was added to a work area, eliminating multiple personal injury hazards. The lift table also makes the work station adjustable to any size person and allows employees to choose whether they sit or stand to perform the assembly tasks. Not only did it make the assembly process safer, it also transformed the task from a two-person job to one that can be completed by one person. It also reduced assembly time by 50 percent, according to a news release. The Iowa-Illinois Safety Council is a Chapter of the National Safety Council – a non-profit membership organization dedicated to protecting life and promoting health. The mission of the Council is to persuade society to embrace effective safety, health and environmental practices in the workplace, on the roadways and in homes and communities.

Lake Smith: anglers at Smith Lake are doing fair on bluegill near the dam and also picking up a few bass. Clear Lake: the water temperature is around 60 degrees. Water is a little clearer than last year, so anglers may need to adjust their tactics by fishing early in the morning, late in the evening, deeper, or on the windward side of the lake. Crappie, good– crappies have been caught near the edges of the cattails and rushes around the lake. Some have started to move in.

Walleye, excellent – anglers have caught fish near the outlet on the east end, Dodges Point, Billys Reef, the north shore docks and the city sea-

wall. Anglers have been using jigs/ minnows, twister tails, and crankbaits. Trolling has been good. Channel catf ish, good – f ish the windy shoreline and shallows with cut bait, worms, stink bait or minnows. Muskellunge, fair – muskies have been caught by walleye anglers on jigs. Yellow bass, good – anglers have had good success on Woodford Island this week. Fishing is best before sunrise and at sunset or on overcast or windy days. Fish with small hair jigs in the 1/32 or 1/64 oz. range. Tip jig with a small portion of worm if need be. Bluegill, fair – some bluegills have been caught in the canals. A few have been caught near the weed beds. Little Wall Lake: fishing has been very slow but anglers have picked up a few bass using spinner baits around the jetty on the north end of the lake. Bluebill Lake: largemouth bass, good – largemouth bass are biting well on artificial lures along the shorelines. The minimum size limit for largemouth bass is 15 inches.
