People in the Park schedule of events announced

Upcoming Events UBTC bank hours for Saturday, Aug. 22

On Saturday Aug. 22, the City of Sheffield will be busy with the People in the Park celebration. Admission to the park is $10 for adults, $5 for kids ages 5-20 and no charge for kids ages 4 and younger. With admission, you will get the beef burger lunch, access to the inflatables, chicken scramble, greased pig contest, the magician and evening BBQ meal.

A big change this year will be the elimination of the grilling competition. There has been a decline in the number of grillers the past couple of years. It disappoints the city greatly to have this decline. In replacement of the competition of grillers, the Sheffield Betterment Foundation has been working with local grillers to provide the evening meal for everyone. The aroma of the grilling/smoking will still be in the park all day as the grillers work to prepare ham, turkey, pork loin and ribs. At 5 p.m. you will be able to get a sandwich(s) of your choice.

In the south shelter there will be baked beans and chips available. Also new this year, there will be hamburgers and hot dogs available for the children as an alternative to the BBQ.

United Bank & Trust Company will close at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, so that employees can enjoy the parade and “People in the Park” activities.

Thank you for your cooperation!

People in the Park worship The People in the Park community worship service will be held Sunday, Aug. 23, at 10:30 a.m. at Zion St. John Lutheran Church. All are welcome!

New exhibit open at MacNider Art Museum “Richard Bock: Master of the Human Form” opened on Friday, Aug. 14 in the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum’s Center Space Gallery.

This exhibition brings treasures from the Richard Bock Museum in Greenville, Ill. to the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum and tells the story of a professional artist and his devotion to the perfect human form.

Richard Bock was born in the small West Prussian Town of Schloppe on July 16, 1865. At age 4 he immigrated to the United States with his parents and other siblings. His father, an artisan woodcarver, worked on many of the fixtures found in churches in the Chicago area.

After graduation from parochial school in the eighth grade he was apprenticed out to the woodworking shop his father worked at. After working many odd jobs he was allowed to learn the work of a wood carver.

During his early years he became proficient in molding plaster casts, which allowed him to find work with an interior decorating firm. This work eventually led him to connect with the famous Frank Lloyd Wright on a number of projects. North Iowa residents will likely know him as the designer of the now famous “Mercury” statues that once adorned the First National Bank, although this is just one of his many, many works.

“Richard Bock: Master of the Human Form” will be on display through Nov. 14. It is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, John K. & Luise V. Hanson Foundation, Wright on the Park and the David & Phyllis Murphy Foundation.

4 Democratic presidential candidates address crowd of 2,000 at Clear Lake’s Surf Ballroom

BY KELLY MCGOWAN Buddy Holly’s voice crooned through a nearly empty Surf Ballroom Friday as organizers readied the building for the sold-out Iowa Democratic Wing Ding. In red pants, white Converses and a blue suit jacket covered in stars, Franklin County Democratic chairman John Colombo bustled through, ensuring things ran smoothly.

Hours later, arou nd 2,000 Democrats would flood the historic ballroom to hear from four presidential candidates: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and Lincoln Chafee.

Colombo said people were “really jazzed” about this year’s event.

Rafael Cruz cruises into Franklin County

BY KELLY MCGOWAN Under the open winged bald eagle that suspends from the ceiling of Maynes Grove Lodge near Hampton, Rafael Cruz talked about freedom.

He is father of presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and he says he and his son’s appreciation of freedom comes with a backstory. Guests filled the lodge to eat dinner and listen to the pastor tell that story Aug. 11.

It begins with Rafael Cruz’s upbringing in Cuba under the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship.

His resistance to the regime got him captured, imprisoned and tortured, he said, while buzz of a charismatic young leader named Fidel Castro’s promises for hope and change spread.

“By the grace of God” Cruz got a student visa and moved to Texas in 1957 to work as a dishwasher. In pursuit of the American dream he’d come to chase, he went to college, learned English, started a business and was ordained as a minister.

He returned to Cuba two years

later, shocked to find that Castro had taken over with a regime that he said called the rich evil, pushed for a redistribution of wealth and attacked freedom of the press and religion.

“I left Cuba with this realization,” Cruz said. “To never go back, but to be so glad to be in the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

Cruz is passionate about freedom, said Franklin County Republican Party chairman Shawn Dietz.

“I lost my freedom once,” Cruz said. “And I am not willing to lose it again. I’ll die fighting to save this country. And so should you.”

That passion is alive today in his son, Cruz said. He told of how Ted memorized and valued the Constitution at age 13.

He said the Cruz campaign has the money to last and the track record to be trusted. Ted would support getting rid of Obamacare and regulations that “strangle business.”

“We double bogged the last hole.� “We missed four putts by an inch.� “We should have birdied three holes.� “We missed par when we should have had them.� “We would have won if we could find just one more stroke.� “If you would have made that last putt we would have won.� Folks if you’ve ever been in a hen house listening to the cackling, well that’s what the clubhouse was like following the battle. Excuses were abundant and LOUD, oh yes they were as we waited for our super-duper lunch of meatloaf, baked spud, roll and green beans. Brooke filled all of us beyond full and it was goooood.

Okay to the battles at hand. Donald Greimann, Franklin Schnoes and DeanO Peter outclassed everyone by firing 69 shots that hit the target. Holy mackerel they were on fire. Truthfully it was by only one shot as Steven Heeren, Robert Kottmeier and Roger Madsen fired 70. That first place team won themselves a trip to the Dougherty zoo least they be careful as they are short on monkeys there. The second place team won nuttin and shucksie darn so close but no nanners today! Rog said, “Gee whillikers if I would have made that last two putts we would have won.� Oh really!

The third place team of James Dorenkamp, Garth Nelson and Clifford Cameron fired 71 as did Richard Brown, Bernard Dougherty and Robert Atkinson.

Where did he come from? Welcome aboard Robert we always like new young blood! Jimmy, Gar & Cliffy won on a tie breaker. Jumpin Jehosphat if one more excuse would have surfaced and

The fifth place team and into the big bucks was Thomas (naturally) Severe, Robert Shreckengost, David Levitt and William Nolte. Now wait a second that’s four guys, well guess they needed it to qualify for money. Those four left my team of Dennis Foss and Larry Lockwood, hung out to dry. We both shot 72 but they won on tie breakers. Story of my life. The fifth place team won a chance to cut a rug at the Sahara Supper Club, oh sometimes I qualify as a nincom poop. Well at least I qualify for something. We thought we were in like Flynn but nope we were far from hunky dory.

Well I guess I best get into my bib and tucker so I’m ready for supper, ya sure and school starts in November. I must straighten up and fly right so just tell everyone Kilroy was here.

One dies, six hurt in I-35 crash Saturday A Minnesota man was killed in a two-vehicle accident on I-35 late Saturday afternoon in Franklin County.

According to a report from the Iowa State Patrol, a 2003 Cadillac DeVille driven by Cynthia Severson, 57, Lino Lakes, Minn., was southbound near mile marker 159 in the main travel lane when it began to slow due to mechanical problems. As the vehicle slowed, a 2000 Toyota 4Runner driven by Kari Severson, 34, of Granger, struck the rear of the Cadillac. Both vehicles entered the west ditch.

Killed in the incident was Richard Stensland, 58, of Lino Lakes, Minn. Also injured were Cynthia, Robert and Mary Stensland, all of Lino Lakes, Minn.; and Kari, Beck and Brie Severson, all of Granger.

The Seversons along with Cynthia and Robert Stensland were all taken by ambulance to Franklin General Hospital in Hampton. Mary Stensland was transported by Mercy Aircare to Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa.

Assisting the Iowa State Patrol were West Franklin EMS, the Dows Fire and Rescue, Franklin General Ambulance, Clarion Ambulance, Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, Wright County Sheriff’s Office, the Franklin County Medical Examiner, Mercy Aircare, Tolles and the Iowa Department of Transportation Maintenance Division.

An Iowa “Beacon of Light” Senator Amanda Ragan honored at Wing Ding for contributions to Democratic Party

BY KELLY MCGOWAN A John F. Kennedy button adorned the outfit of a proud kindergartener named Amanda Ragan. Unsurprisingly, a career in politics lay in her future.

“I found it incredibly important to get involved and make a difference,” she said.

Ragan, who represents Franklin, Cerro Gordo and Butler counties in the Iowa Senate, was recognized for that career Friday with the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding Beacon of Light Award. The Wing Ding brought more than 2,000 attendees to Clear Lake’s historic Surf Ballroom.

It was a unanimous decision for the deciding committee to have Ragan join the ranks of Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton, Tom Harkin and other past award recipients. The crystal trophy recognizes office holders selected for exemplifying the ideals of the Democratic Party.

“She is looked upon as a person who has been a firewall in the Iowa Statehouse on the Democratic side,” said Dean Genth, vice chair for the Cerro Gordo County Democrats. “We felt she really exemplifies the best of the political process and really upholds the Democratic Party ideals.”

Accompanied by two grandchildren, Ragan accepted the award on stage after Genth’s introduction. She was humbled and overwhelmed when she found out about the honor during legislative session.

“It’s always a nice honor to have people honor your work,” Ragan said. “There are certainly more deserving people out there.”

Growing up in a bipartisan home – with a Republican mom and a Democratic dad – was her first lesson in compromise.

“I watched people who had different ideas get along in the same house,” she said.

Carrying that into her career, she said her actions have given her a reputation of working with people in both political parties.

She has been able to work “across the aisle” in the Statehouse, Genth said.

Her position has allowed her to “stand up for justice and freedom and all of those wonderful things,” she said.

Reaching a bipartisan compromise on a health care bill with Iowa Rep. Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake, and being on a variety of committees are among her proudest accomplishments.

She is the chairwoman of the Health and Human Services Budget Subcommittee, vice chairwoman of the Human Resources Committee and Agriculture Committee. She is on the Appropriations, Natural Resources and Environment, Rules Administration and Veterans Affairs Com-

PEOPLE IN THE PARK The city invites you to go to the West Fork lunch room for an omelet breakfast prepared by the Sheffield Library Foundation from 7–10 a.m. The garden tractor plowing will start at 8 a.m. on Edgington Field. The Sheffield Community Club will hold the annual parade at 10:30 a.m. (the parade route will start on N. 7th Street to East on Gilman Street and on towards to Deerfield Place and Sheffield Care Center). Immediately following the parade, everyone is invited to gather at the Gazebo in the City Park. At that time, the Sheffield Community Club will crown Little Miss West Fork and Little Mr. West Fork. They will also honor the dignitaries and present them with a plaque of appreciation.

Following the ceremony a beef burger lunch will be served in the north shelter by the Sheffield

Community Club and the beer garden will open.

There will be several local groups in the park selling either food or products to support themselves. The inflatables will be open from 12–4 p.m. Scott’s Audio will be providing music and announcements during the afternoon. Back again by popular demand will be the beanbag tournament starting at 12 p.m.

There will also be the chicken scramble and greased pig contest.

As the inflatables are deflating, a magic show by Mike Prestby, sponsored by the Sheffield Betterment Foundation, will be held in the Gazebo. Following the show, Prestby will be mingling with the crowd to continue to amaze everyone with his magic.

To round out the evening Standing Hampton will be on stage from 7-11 p.m.

GOP EVENT It’s always a nice honor to have people honor your work.

There are certainly more deserving people out there.

- Amanda Ragan mittees.

She is the executive director of the Community Kitchen of North Iowa and Mason City Meals on Wheels.

The Wing Ding marked the 80 th anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt signing of the Social Security Act. Ragan said that act was emblematic of American compassion, and offered people hope and security.

“I think all people do what they do because they believe in doing the right thing,” she said.

Humbled as she was to receive the award, she said recognition comes second to seeing the results of her impact.

“Awards are for things you’ve done in the past,” she said. “We’re still looking for the future.”

He said a “mushy, middle-ofthe-road moderate” couldn’t win on the Republican side.

“If Jeb Bush is our nominee, Hillary Clinton will be our next president and our country will be destroyed,” he said.

Cruz has travelled the country speaking on his son’s behalf and preaching to pastors about being involved in politics. This Iowa tour included six speaking stops and a few church services.

Bryan English, Iowa director of the Ted Cruz campaign, said it is unique for Iowa to have events focused on religious liberty.

English was a pastor at First Baptist Church in Spencer, from 1998 to 2004, until he felt called to full-time politics. He shares Cruz’s view on pastoral involvement in the political process.

“I think you’ll see a remarkable amount of engagement from pastors in this election,” he said.

Threatened religious liberties are leading to that push, English said.

Franklin County Central Committee co-chair Tom Crane agreed.

“Religious liberty is definitely under threat with the current administration,” Crane said. “I think we have to push back and not roll over and play dead.”

Dietz encouraged audience members to get out and vote at the caucus in February, as well as upcoming local school board and city elections.

“The caucus is where the rubber meets the road,” he said. “If you didn’t vote in February, don’t complain about who’s on the ballot in November.”

Former U.S. Rep. Tom Latham (R-Iowa) also urged the Iowa electorate.

“Our responsibility we have as Iowans is absolutely critical,” Latham said. “We have a great opportunity and a huge responsibility.”

Ticket proceeds from the event supported the Republican Party of Franklin County’s Legacy of Leadership scholarship.

“Together we will take this country back to the glory of God,” Cruz said.

Who killed Leota Camp?

48 years later, and still no answer MIKE KILEN Des Moines Register Mkilen@Dmreg.com It was a typical summer day in 1967. Leota Camp kissed a goodbye to her husband, Ray, as he went off to his job at the Iowa Employment Security Commission.

Like the many other stay-at-home mothers in the working-class Des Moines neighborhood on Fleming Avenue, a block east of Lower Beaver Road, she had housework to do and children to supervise.

Brenda, 3, and Kevin, 4, played in the back yard as Camp hung laundry on the line, leaving to check on her 3-month-old, Kristine, inside.

It was getting close to noon. Brenda and Kevin grew hungry and went inside to ask their mother for lunch.

What they found was a horror — one that 48 years later, still has no answers.

Their mother, Leota, was in the front bedroom, lying face down on the bed, her hands tied behind her back and legs tied togeth-

er at the ankles with men’s neckties, while another was used as a gag. A knife protruded from her bloodied back.

“My brother pulled the knife out of her back,” said Brenda (Camp) Conklin, who today lives in West Des Moines.

They ran, screaming, to the neighbor, Mary Groe. “Mommy’s bleeding,” Kevin yelled. Groe soon saw Camp on the bed and rushed out to get another neighbor, Nelle Edwards. The two women found Leota still moaning, with four stab wounds an inch apart down her spinal column, according to Des Moines Register archives. They called the police.

Little Kristine lay in the next room on a white blanket, nursing on a bottle, unharmed.

Chuck Groe was summoned by his wife to notify Ray Camp at work.

“He didn’t want to tell me, “ Camp said. “He told me there had been an accident with Leota, and I should go to Broadlawns.”

Despite emergency responders’ attempts to revive her during the short ride to Broadlawns Polk County Public Hospital, Leota Camp, 25, had already died.

No apparent motive A neighbor told police of seeing a man in his 20s, about 5-foot-9 with a stocky build and wearing a white-and-brown plaid shirt and blue jeans, driving a black Ford Mustang to the street before walking in the direction of the Camps’

home, according to the Des Moines Police Department’s report.

It was a shocking crime in broad daylight. In the months that followed, mothers in the neighborhood walked with their heads down, looking for missed evidence, while children frantically ran inside their homes when they saw any Mustang drive down the street.

Detectives in 1967 told the Register that they were “digging hard and fast,” but there didn’t appear to be a motive. Camp wasn’t sexually assaulted, and nothing was missing from the home.

Police would never find the man.

The case went cold.

Sgt. Jason Halifax, a Des Moines police spokesman, said detectives most familiar with the case are retired or dead, although the department looked into a tip as recently as 2008.

The memory of the murder hasn’t gone cold for neighbors or the family.

Decades of questions, pain Conklin remembers sitting on her father’s lap, hearing the news of her mother’s death and the numbness she felt at the funeral. Her father offered a reward and, for four years, consulted with police on any new developments. Finally, the family moved on and rarely talked about it.

“I was angry for a long time, and then maybe drank more than I should. Then I figured out that wasn’t going to do anything for me

“It certainly would have been nice to know my mother,” said Brenda Camp at her home in West Des Moines on Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Brenda’s mother, Leota Camp was stabbed to death in the family’s home while her children, including Brenda, were outside playing on July 10, 1967. “I’d like to know who did it,” Camp added, “It’s always been this mystery of what happened.”

County GOP chairman endorses Cruz Former Iowa Senate candidate and current Franklin County GOP chairman Shawn Dietz last week endorsed U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s bid for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.

Dietz is highly active in Republican politics. He has been part of the growing libertarian movement within the state GOP, earning the endorsement of Liberty Iowa as well as the support of many other Libertarian and conservative-leani ng g roups dur i ng t he 2014 campaign cycle.

“Senator Cruz has stood apart from the Washington establishment at every opportunity, and I have no doubt about his willingness and ability to continue to stand in opposition to the status quo and the disastrous policies of the Washington Cartel,” Dietz said in a news release.

Dietz felt Cruz would implement change in Washington by building a team with Constitutional goals around him.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, left, received the endorsement of Franklin County Republican Central Committee chairman Shawn Dietz last week.

“I believe the Cruz Crew that is assembling, not only in Iowa, but across these United Stares, is a team that will be able to coalesce long after this presidential campaign is over to accomplish necessary corrections in our constitutional republic,” he said.

Local farmer named ISA director A Hampton woman was one of six soybean farmers recently elected to serve as Iowa Soybean Association directors. They will be officially seated at the association’s September board meeting.

April Hemmes was elected as District 2’s representative on the board of directors. Other new members included: Mark Vosika, Pocahontas (District 1); Suzanne Shirbroun, Farmersburg (District 3); Robb Ewoldt, Blue Grass (District 6); Pat Swanson, Ottumwa (District 9); and Tim Bardole, Rippey (At Large).

Jeff Jorgenson of Sidney was re-elected for a second term in District 7.

Retiring directors are: Brian Kemp, Sibley; Dean Coleman, Humboldt; Ben Schmidt, Iowa City; John Heisdorffer, Keota; and Ron Heck, Perry. Heisdorffer will remain as an Iowa representative on the American Soybean Association board and Coleman will continue to serve on the officer committee of the World Initiative for Soy in Human Health.

Shirbroun replaces Dennis Lind-

say of Masonville who served one, three-year term as District 3 director.

“The association is grateful for the dedication and service our outgoing directors have provided during their terms,” said ISA-President Elect Wayne Fredericks of Osage. “We also congratulate the newly elected directors and welcome the fresh perspectives they bring to the work of our board as we strive to improve the competitiveness of soybean farmers.

“I especially want to thank Dennis Lindsay for his contributions,” Fredericks added. “I look forward to his continued engagement with the association to the benefit of farmers and the soybean industry.”

Joining Fredericks and the newly elected directors on the ISA board are: ISA President Tom Oswald, Cherokee (At Large); Chuck White, Spencer (District 1); Scott McGregor, Nashua (District 3); Sheila Hebenstreit, Jefferson and Randy Souder, Rockwell City (District 4); Rolland Schnell,

Newton and Morey Hill, Madrid (District 5); Ed Ulch, Solon (District 6); Bill Shipley, Nodaway (District 7); Cliff Mulder, Pella (District 8); Mark Jackson, Rose Hill (District 9); Lindsay Greiner of Keota and Stephanie Essick of Dickens, At Large directors.

Corrections In the Aug. 13 edition of The Sheffield Press, a worker on the Juanita’s Garden relocation project was misidentified. Public works assistant Jace Winfrey was not included in the article where councilman J.C. McCaslin mistakenly was. Gerald “Mumbles” Nuehring, Pat Nuehring, the Nuehring family and Michael Rother were instrumental in the project.

A volunteer position opening for the head of the zoning commission discussed later in that story was misstated as a job. The position is unpaid.

The 2015-2016 school year is nearing kickoff and I would like to take a moment to welcome all of our students and parents back for another year. For all of you who are new to us, we welcomee rk you to the “West Fork Family.” I hope that you ou have a great experience nce in our school and you are proud to say that you are a part of what is referred to around here as the “Warhawk Nation”.

The West Fork School District mission statement reads as follows, “The West Fork Community School District is dedicated to creating successful learners, citizens, and leaders.” The district vision statement that reads, “West Fork students will be proud of their educational experience and confident in their ability to succeed in a complex global environment”, supports this statement. As we put this mission and vision to practice every day throughout our district we are continuously striving to help every student in our district reach their potential and be able to leave West Fork with the solid foundation necessary to take on the challenges of continuous learning and growing in the 21st century.

This month the West Fork CSD Board of education will be renewing the district’s Instructional Support Levy (ISL) that comes due the end of FY2016. This is not a new levy but rather an extension of a levy that our district and 328 of the 338 school district’s in Iowa have in place. In July of 2011 when the Rockwell-Swaledale and SCMT districts reorganized, each district already had an ISL in place. At that time, the board consolidated the two into an ISL for West Fork CSD. The renewal

of the ISL takes place every five years for the board so we are taking care of having this in place for th the conclusion of the upcoming school year that will be our fifth year as a reorganized district.

ISL funds are misccella neous i ncome that may be used for th any general fund purpose (books and instructional materials, transportation fuel and repairs, salaries, and daily operating expenses such as utilities) and allow a district to raise the “credit card limit” by up to 10 percent of the general fund budget. The ISL is funded through property taxes and income surtaxes or like in our case, a combination of the two. In FY2015, our district’s ISL generated $376,068 for the district.

This summer has been a busy time around West Fork with custodial staff performing the annual cleaning and brightening of our facilities. In addition, construction is in full swing on the new West Fork Wellness center slated for completion in mid-August of 2016. Due to this construction, we ask students and visitors to park “nose in” around the perimeter of the construction area. We realize this may be inconvenient for some but believe it is a small price to pay for the new parking areas and wonderful facility we will have a year from now.

As we move into the school year, we ask that parents take an active role in their child’s education. We appreciate the support of parents and community members and want you to get involved in one of our district committees.

We have opportunities with the School Improvement Advisory Committee (SIAC), Early Childhood Committee, Vocational Ad-

Be careful what you wish for AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer During this year’s E3, SquareEnix shocked the gaming world when they announced that after years of speculation, hoping, and begging from their audience, they would be developing a remake of “Final Fantasy VII.” It was easily the highlight of this year’s show, but “Final Fantasy VII” is only second on my list of “Late 90s video games I desperately hope get remade.”

At the top of the list is one of my favorite games of all time, “Resident Evil 2.”

The definitive entry in Capcom’s survival horror franchise, “Resident Evil 2” once held a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest selling game of all time. It still holds a spot in my own records as the game I’ve replayed the most.

Over the years I’ve bought the game three times on three different gaming systems, and would happily buy it again today if the PC version was available on Steam.

I’ve long hoped for some kind of remastering, but upscaling games of that era to modern resolutions is a challenge not worth the effort to most developers. For a long time, it’s seemed that the possibility of playing Resident Evil 2 on a modern system was nothing but a dream.

Then a couple weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabyashi made an appearance on the Resident Evil Facebook page of all places to ask fans what they thought of revisiting “Resident Evil 2” in some fashion.

Receiving positive feedback and coming off the success of the recently remastered PC release of the 2002 “Resident Evil” remake, Hirabyashi revealed that he had dusted off a proposal for a “Resident Evil 2” project and presented it to his bosses. It seems that the presentation went well. Last week Hirabyashi returned to the Internet for a third time, announcing that a “Resident Evil 2” remake project had been approved.

I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand, this is something I, along with pretty much every other fan of the series, have wanted since Capcom remade the original “Resident Evil.”

That remake was a massive success and ever since then Resident Evil fans have been clamoring for Capcom to give “Resident Evil 2” the same treatment. In the last thirteen years there hasn’t been a message board or comment section related to Resident Evil on the entire Internet where the subject hasn’t come up.

It is the Holy Grail of the Resident Evil fandom.

Personally, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve theorized about how I’d do it if I were in charge.

For as much as I love the original game, there are more than a few features and mechanics it could benefit from. Not to mention the need for a graphical overhaul.

The game looked great in 1998, but that was 1998.

But there’s the other hand, because I’m not in charge. The people in charge of creating this highly-anticipated game are the same people who have spent the last decade driving the “Resident Evil” franchise firmly into the ground.

Since 2005’s “Resident Evil 4” shifted the focus of the series from survival and puzzles to shoot-em-up action, each game in the franchise has been worse than the last.

Which means there are two ways this game could go.

It could be everything I ever hoped for. A worthy successor to one of the best games of all time.

A faithful remake in all its survival/horror glory.

Or it could be an abomination.

An action heavy third person shooter with more emphasis on shooting monsters than managing your resources. Everything I’ve disliked about the franchise for the last decade, forced on the template of my favorite game.

Luckily or not, since it seems that this announcement was made literally as soon as the project was approved, it will probably be 2016 before Capcom has anything to show. This means plenty of time to pointlessly speculate about whether the game will turn out one way or the other.

It’s going to be a long wait.

People in the Park seeking donations, volunteers Sheffield’s People in the Park is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 22.

The Sheffield Community Club, in cooperation with the Sheffield Betterment Foundation, is helping plan this year’s event.

In previous years the CC has been fortunate enough to have inflatables in the park. They have been an extremely popular activity for families and children.

Again this year the CC is contracting for the inflatables. The cost to do so is around $3,000, and therefore they are looking for anyone to consider sponsoring the inflatables. All sponsors will have their names displayed on an appreciation sign.

The CC is also looking for people willing to work at some of the kids games in the park from noon to 4 p.m. Any simple game or activity is welcome. There are plans to have activities and entertainment in the park from the end of the parade thru the end of the evening band.

The inflatables, activities and meals are free to anyone who enters the park with a wristband.

If you would be willing to help in any way, contact Jill Conlon, 641-892-4919 (evenings), or email the committee at sheffieldcommunityclub15@gmail.com. Donations may be mailed to PO Box 421, Sheffield, IA 50425.

MidAmerican Energy to convert streetlights to LED

Once finished, NEW Cooperative’s fourbin grain facility near Rowan will have 1,875,000 bushels of storage and two receiving systems capable of handling 30,000 bushels of grain per hour. NICK PEDLEY PHOTO

Streetlights throughout Iowa will soon become brighter, more energy efficient and environmentally friendly thanks to a new initiative led by MidAmerican Energy Company.

MidAmerican Energy is upgrading more than 100,000 of its streetlights in Iowa to Light Emitting Diode (LED) units beginning this month and continuing during the next 10 years, a move expected to save cities energy and money.

LED streetlights consume approximately 35 to 50 percent less energy, depending on the type and size, than the current High Pressure Sodium streetlight systems. Their long life spans also result in less maintenance costs, fewer streetlight outages and increased reliability. Visibly, LEDs produce a bright, white light that improves the ability to see colors at night. They also cast a more uniform light that is emitted directionally rather than spilling into the sky or nearby windows.

The conversion project will be paid for by MidAmerican Energy, with no cost to municipalities unless they opt for an accelerated installation plan.

Because LEDs use less energy, power plants generate less, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions. MidAmerican Energy expects approximately 32 million kilowatt-hours of electricity will be saved annually once its 100,000-plus streetlights are converted to LEDs. This represents a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of approximately 22,000 tons – the same as removing 4,681 average cars off the street every year.

All Iowa cities in MidAmerican Energy’s service territory will be transitioned to LED streetlights concurrently as existing HPS streetlights fail. City-owned streetlights or those owned by other utilities are not part of the project.

New Rowan grain facility nearing completion

BY NICK PEDLEY The western Franklin County skyline experienced some profound changes this summer thanks to a multi-million dollar capital investment.

Four grain bins and other structures were erected during an extended construction period that began in the spring. The additions are part of NEW Cooperative’s latest expansion project and will replace the company’s outdated elevator in Rowan. According to company officials, the location will provide additional offerings and improved amenities for area farmers.

“Work has gone great, construction has gone great, and everything should all be done and ready to go by harvest time,” said Mark Walter, NEW Cooperative grain manager. “We’ve been pleased with progress.”

The site is located at the intersection of S-13 and Highway 3 just inside Franklin County.

NEW Cooperative announced plans to build the four-bin facility after acquiring the Dows and Rowan elevators last September, and preliminary groundwork began during the winter.

The location will have 1,875,000 bushels of storage upon completion. The facility will have two

receiving systems capable of handling 30,000 bushels of grain per hour, which is an improvement on current capabilities. Customers will be able to receive scale ticket information via text message, download ticket information from the cooperative’s website and grab scale ticket receipts within reach of their tractor’s cab.

NEW Cooperative hopes the enhancements will help customers in western Franklin County get back in the field quickly and keep their equipment moving during harvest. In addition to the four grain bins, a new office and scale will be finished soon as well as a large agronomic warehouse for storing seed, chemicals and liquid fertilizer. The finished site will include a large anhydrous plant and bulk storage for dry fertilizer, making the Rowan facility a central agronomy hub for that area.

Franklin County Development Association director Karen Mitchell said the project was a two-fold benefit to the county because it will generate added tax revenue and improve services to farmers. She was also happy NEW Cooperative was utilizing local businesses like Mort’s Water Company and Global Ag during the construction process.

“It’s nice when Franklin County companies can get in on a huge project like this,” she said.

“Development in the county isn’t always about expanding manufacturing. It’s about growing all areas of our business sector.”

NEW Cooperative’s move to Franklin County was partially prompted by an incentive package offered by the board of supervisors through an Urban Renewal Area. The county agreed to provide tax increment rebate payments to the company in a total amount not exceeding $600,000. NEW Cooperative will pay all of its taxes once the project is completed, and the county will rebate back only the amount taxed on the new construction.

NEW Cooperative is also completing improvements this summer at its facility in Dows. According to Walter, the company is simply updating old equipment.

He said work was expected to wrap up by harvest season. Dows will remain a fully functional grain and agronomy facility year round and there are no plans to make it a seasonal location, according to a previous news release.

Walter said the company will give local patrons tours of the new facility on Sept. 8.

Stanton joins ABCM in new role ABCM Corporation recently announced the hiring of Dr. Samuel Stanton, MD., as executive medical director.

“The hiring of Dr. Stanton will allow ABCM Corporation to continue to grow with the health care profession and remain a leader to give individuals and families in Iowa quality solutions to long-term care,” stated CEO Richard Allbee in a release.

Dr. Stanton views his new job as an option to expand his career opportunities. Last year, he replaced a former Hampton physician Dr. David Dennis, DO, completing rounds at the Rehabilitation Center of Hampton and Dumont Wellness Center. He said he developed a passion for longterm care after completing his residency.

“I was concerned that making rounds at the care centers would pull me away from my patients at the clinic,” Stanton said. “Soon, however, my care center rounding days became my favorite day of the week.”

Dr. Stanton’s new duties will include risk management for ABCM and creating relationships

Stanton

with medical directors in order to be more efficient. He is looking forward to discovering and meeting the needs of doctors who follow residents in homes owned and operated by ABCM Corporation.

“Healt h care is changing quickly, and trying to provide the best possible quality care to the aging population of Iowa is a priority to ABCM Corporation,” Allbee said. “With the addition of

electronic medical records in the health care system, Dr. Stanton’s skills in technology will assist ABCM Corporation to stay in the forefront of improved communications with our residents and their families.”

Dr. Stanton will also serve as an advocate for senior populations with the state and federal legislatures.

“There is a huge future in the long-term care profession,” he said.

“Health care issues and the topic of long-term care of individuals of all ages is a concern of government officials, the public and teaching institutions.”

Dr. Stanton and his wife, Beth, have three children: Lila Rose, 8, Sammy, 6, and Norah, 1. In addition to his job with ABCM, Stanton will also teach at Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines.

He will continue to provide emergency room coverage at Franklin General Hospital in Hampton, but will be unable to practice medicine in a 40-mile range of Franklin General Hospital for two years due to his current non-compete with Mercy Hospital.

Workshop to help communities redevelop brownfield sites A free Sept. 15 workshop in Grinnell will help communities identify resources to help redevelop and revitalize areas that may have environmental contamination.

The workshop, titled Funding Economic Development and Land Revitalization Through Brownfields: Brownfields Redevelopment Resources for Your Region, will take place from 9:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m. at the Drake Community Library, at 930 Park St. The DNR offers the workshop to help communities learn about brownfield properties and how to manage successful redevelopment projects, including securing funding.

Brownfields are properties where reuse or redevelopment may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of environmental contamination. These properties are often abandoned, idled or under-used. Putting brownfield sites back into use helps revitalize the community by

creating jobs, generating additional tax revenue, saving municipal costs and spurring economic development in the area.

Participants should register by Sept. 10 by going to www.ksutab.org/education/workshops/. Any questions regarding registration can be directed to Sherree Walsh at Kansas State at chsr@ksu.edu or (785) 532-6519.

A complimentary lunch is included. An additional session from 3:50-4:30 p.m. will focus on submitting applications for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund and Cleanup (ARC) grant competition.

The workshop is recommended for local and regional government and economic development staff, community members and grant writers, real estate developers and brokers, lenders, city and regional planners, and anyone else interested in financial resources for community redevelopment projects.

Hampton Racquet Club organizing; Summerfest tennis tournament seeks participants Interested in getting some fun exercise? Looking for others who share your same interest in a racquet sport? The Hampton Racquet Club is now being organized.

The purpose of the Hampton Racquet Club is to provide opportunities for people in the community to come together and have fun playing sports like tennis, pickleball and ping pong.

“My goal is to compile a list of people and contact information.” said organizer Jim Davies, coach of the Hampton-Dumont high school mens’ tennis team.

“The list will be available to other members to call one another to set up a time to play. Regular days and times will also be established when anyone is welcome to show up and play.”

Davies hopes to not only do this with tennis, but with pickleball. The Franklin Wellness Center just purchased pickelball equipment with a grant from the Community Foundation of Franklin County and will be setting up regular times to play.

Eventually, Davies would also like to see ping pong added.

Davies is planning an upcoming tennis tournament during the Greater Franklin County Chamber’s Summerfest celebration.

Those interested should plan on coming to the Progress Park tennis courts Saturday morning, Aug. 29. This is open to adults and students. Matches for men, women and coed groups will be played.

Players will be paired up according to ability and play doubles matches. Singles matches may also be played depending on availability of court space. It will be a round robin format. Tennis balls will be provided.

The start time on Aug. 29 will be 9 a.m. and continue until noon or later depending on how long people want to stay. Players can come and go as their schedule allows.

“If you can’t be there at the beginning, arrive when you can and I will work you in,” said Davies. “This is more of a ‘play day’ than a tournament. Spectators are welcome.”

There is no cost, but a free will offering will be taken with money going toward a storage shed at the tennis courts.

Those interested in participating at the Summerfest tennis tournament and/or being on a participant list for tennis, pickleball or ping pong, contact Jim Davies at (641) 425-4707 or email jim@coachdavies.net.

Area health care organizations receive elite grant The Health Resources and Services Administration notified Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics last month that they were the recipients of a Rural Network Allied Health Training Program federal award grant. The hospital applied for this grant in conjunction with the Belmond-Klemme Community School District, ABC M Cor porat ion a nd North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC).

Through this grant, WHP Career Academy will allow Belmond-Klemme High School juniors and seniors an opportunity to explore the healthcare industry, learn technical healthcare skills, and earn certifications as they complete college credit course work. The primary focus is on the training and retention of EMTs, CNAs and paramedics. The community-based program will be a joint effort in partnership and coordination between all of the participating entities.

Student college enrollment and employment following the program will be tracked to see if they continue in the healthcare field. The ultimate goal is to retain these individuals within the local rural community as part of the healthcare workforce, thereby further maintaining healthcare accessibility for residents living in those areas.

Wright Health Partners was chosen as one of only ten recipients in the nation for this government program.

Grant funds will allow for multiple educational instructor positions, several scholarships for students, and necessary training equipment, including text books for both students and instructors. This three year pilot program will extend from 2015 to 2018.

From Seed to Snack Popcorn, like all six types of corn, is a cereal grain. It resembles corn on the cob in appearance and cultivation, but only pop-corn kernels have the ability to pop. Most of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popcorn is grown in the central United States.

Popcorn is usually harvested with a combine, which strips the ear from

the stalk and shells the kernels from the cob. The kernels are then loaded into a truck and transported to a storage bin for drying. Then, after cleaning and sorting, kernels are packaged for distribution, allowing Americans to consume more than 16 billion quarts of popped popcorn each year.

NO CONSTRUCTION IS TO COMMENCE ON ANY PORTION OF THE PROJECT WITHIN FRANKLIN COUNTY WITHOUT A WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE ROUTE FROM THE COUNTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE. The Applicant agrees to give the County twenty-four (24) hours’ notice of its intention to commence construction activities on any lands within the jurisdiction of the County. Said notice shall be made in writing to the designated Drainage Engineer. Notice cannot be given until the approval of the construction project has been issued by the County Drainage Engineer and/ or Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors shall appoint a licensed engineer as its representative to inspect and approve all construction by Applicant that impacts County drainage facilities. All reasonable compensation, wages, mileage and other legitimate expenses for this representative will be paid by the Applicant. Said representative will pre-locate public drainage facilities, private drainage facilities where possible, inspect all crossings of public drainage facilities and shall have the authority to require the Applicant to excavate and expose the crossing of any County drainage facilities where the representative believe it prudent to visually examine same.

Further, said representative has the authority to suspend construction by written order to the Contractor at the site and to Applicant, or it’s designated representative.

The County shall provide Applicant access to maps or other information regarding the location of all known County drainage facilities, so that reasonable care may be taken by Applicant

to avoid un-necessary damage to said County drainage facilities.

Prior to commencement, the Applicant shall furnish the County, or its representative, ¿nal plans showing the exact location of the proposed improvement and construction activities.

If in the viewing of such plans it is determined by the County that such locations are in conÀict with present or proposed Drainage District facilities, the Applicant will be requested to propose an alternate route for its project; or otherwise ameliorate any possible conÀict.

Drainage Facility crossings shall be constructed by Applicant as follows, in consultation with County Drainage Engineer representative.

CROSSING OF OPEN DITCHES The Applicant’s improvement shall be installed in a horizontal plane as least ¿ve feet (5’) below design grade of the drainage ditch, as established by the County’s designated Drainage Engineer.

The above depth is to extend to a point two (2) times the design base width of the ditch either side of the centerline of the drainage ditch, unless the existing base width is greater than the design base width. If the existing base width is greater than the design width, the depth is to extend to a point two (2) times the existing width.

The rate of slope for transition from normal installation laying depth to crossings of drainage ditches shall not be steeper than 4:1.

If such ditch crossings occur at points of outlets for Drainage District or private tile lines, or within twenty-¿ve (25’) of said outlets, such outlet facilities must be relocated to a point no less than twenty-¿ve (25’) from such crossings.

Such relocations shall be at the expense of the applicant and as directed by the representative of the Drainage district.

CROSSINGS OF DRAINAGE DISTRICT TILE LINES All proposed improvements must be placed under existing Drainage District tile lines. These requirements may be waived only upon the review by and approval of the designated Drainage Engineer.

A minimum of one foot (1’) clearance below existing Drainage District tiles must be maintained.

At all crossings of Drainage District tile lines by the proposed improvement, one of the following must be used: Replace the Drainage District tile with reinforced concrete pipe of the same or larger diameter than the existing tile. Concrete pipe is to be 2,000D strength (Iowa Department of Transportation approved) with standard tongue and groove joints. Pipe to have a minimum of three (3) bolt-type connectors at each joint; or Bore new installation, maintaining existing tile in an undisturbed case.

The length of tile to be replaced by any of the above alternates is as follows: Eight inch (8”) tile and smaller; Six feet (6’) either side of centerline of proposed installation, measured at right angles to the centerline of the installation.

Ten inch (10”) tile and larger: Ten feet (10’) either side of centerline of proposed installation, measured at right angles to the centerline of installation.

The construction of Applicant’s installation, shall be carried on in such a manner as to not unreasonable interfere with, nor unreasonable interrupt the function of, any County drainage facilities.

In the event it becomes necessary to temporarily stop the normal Àow of water in any County drainage facility in order to allow the Applicant’s construction and installation, the following shall be done by the Applicant: If the crossing involves a tile line, the replacement of tile with approved metal pipe or concrete pipe, in the manner approved by the County’s designated Drainage Engineer shall be performed as rapidly as possible. If the approved method of repair is impossible and the volume of water Àowing in the tile is suf¿cient

to create the possibility of crop loss or property damage, the Contractor will be permitted to temporarily block the tile line to prevent the Àow of this tile water into the pipeline, or tile line ditch.

In the event that this tile line is so temporarily locked, the contractor will be expected to provide suf¿cient pumping equipment to pump the impounded tile water across the construction ditch to the undisturbed tile line. Such temporary blockages of said Drainage District tile lines will be removed as rapidly as possible, and any tile repairs caused by this blockage will be immediately repaired at the Applicant’s expense.

If the crossing involves the crossing of an open ditch that is carrying suf¿cient Àow of water to make it necessary to place a temporary dam across said open ditch, such temporary dams may be constructed only upon approval from the representative of the County’s designated Drainage Engineer. The maximum elevation of this impounded water shall be determined by the designated Drainage engineer and all excess water must be allowed to Àow across the construction ditch through either a closed metal culvert pipe or by pumping. All temporary dam structures are to be removed as soon as the crossing is completed. The construction and removal of these dams to be in such manner that the smooth and ef¿cient function of the drainage ditch is not impaired, with all costs and damages borne by Applicant.

WING DING People stood, sat along walls and filled booths and chairs as they ate their traditional Wing Ding meal of chicken wings and awaited the candidates’ arrival onstage.

From its begin nings as a three-county event in 2004, the Wing Ding has gained traction.

Instead of being sponsored by the Iowa Democratic Party with money going to the state central committee, the grassroots fundraiser’s proceeds are divided among the 23 involved counties to support local Democratic campaigns.

“It’s always been absolutely grassroots,” Columbo said.

National media were present at the event and for the first time, a 25-minute segment was broadcast live on CNN, the exposure media coordinator Dean Genth said was thrilling.

With nearly 14 months until Election Day, Genth said some grow weary of the long campaign season.

“For now, it’s part of our political system to start early and run long,” he said.

At this point, the committee did

not want to allow signs inside or consider the event a rally. All campaign tables were kept outside of the building.

“What we really want to accomplish at this early stage is to come together as Democrats and hear from everyone who has dipped their toe into the pond for president,” Genth said.

But one of the beauties of the system, he said, is Iowa’s “first-inthe-nation” status that draws candidates to the heartland to mingle with voters.

The crowd was receptive to the ideas of all of the candidates, said Ted Hall, a farmer from Forest City.

“You’ve got to do that to show unity,” he said.

He and his wife Sue have attended the Wing Ding for around eight years.

“I think the atmosphere is exciting,” Sue Hall said. “To be in the room they’re actually in, as opposed to seeing them on TV.” Iowa State Sen. Amanda Ragan, Sen. D-Mason City, said the event creates an opportunity for voters to be involved.

“People in Iowa are good qual-

ity folks that take their issues very seriously,” she said.

Hillary Clinton, former first lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State, was excited to speak the same day that former Sen. Tom Harkin announced his support of her campaign.

She quoted “American Pie,” Don McLean’s ode to Buddy Holly, in the shrine to his last concert.

“I can still remember how that music used to make me smile,” she said. “And all you Democrats make me smile.”

First to take the stage, she riled up the crowd with comments about wage increases to strengthen the middle class, her recently announced plan to combat student debt and equal pay for women.

She has always tried to even the odds for people with the odds against them, she said.

“If you work hard and do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead,” she said.

The crowd roared to a standing ovation when she said some politicians don’t acknowledge that black lives matter.

Obama’s nuclear deal with

Iran received her full support, she said.

“When this debate is over, we need to come together to send the message to Iran,” she said.

“Cheat, and you will pay.”

The Republican lineup also made its way into her remarks.

“If you take a closer look, most of the candidates are just Trump without the pizazz and the hair,” she said. “Mr. Trump’s words are appalling, but so are the policies of the other candidates.”

Clinton closed her speech with her vision of a new America, where fathers could tell their daughters they could be anything they want, including president. The crowd erupted in applause.

Bernie Sanders, a U.S. Senator from Vermont, then took the stage. He congratulated the audience for taking part in the democratic process, and spoke of a political revolution.

You ng , d iver s e, work i ng class crowds have gathered in large numbers at his appearances across the country. He said they all have reached one conclusion.

“They are saying ‘enough is enough,’” Sanders said. “This country belongs to all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.”

That philosophy informed his decision to reject super PACs and money from billionaires. From his 350,000 contributions, the average amount is $31.21, he said.

“If a business is too big to fail, it is too big to exist,” he said. “We’ve got to break them up.”

His detest for corporate greed was apparent throughout the speech. He said no one president can stand up against corporate America, Wall Street and super PACs alone. A grassroots move-

ment and political revolution is needed to make the economy work for the middle class, he said.

Raising the minimum wage, ensuring pay equity and guaranteeing 12 weeks of paid family leave were some of his proposed economic solutions.

He listed names of recent victims of police shootings, a trend he said must end. He also mentioned the disproportionate number of black people in prisons.

His solution involves a commun it y, not militarized approach to policing, and providing jobs and education.

Other topics that sparked applause were his disapproval of the Keystone Pipeline, support of clean energy, talk of comprehensive immigration reform and view of health care as a right, not a privilege.

Like Clinton, he supported Obama’s nuclear deal.

Mar tin O’Malley, former Maryland governor and former Baltimore mayor, had the largest group of campaign supporters chanting in the heat outside prior to the event, but many audience members left in the interim between Sanders and O’Malley.

His suppor ters rema i ned faithful, though, and cheered as he discussed honoring elderly people with his policies.

He talked about his track record as a governor and a mayor, citing that he invested in schools, froze college tuition, raised the minimum wage and banned the sale of assault weapons.

“Whether we give our children a future with less opportunity or more is up to us,” he said.

He praised the generosity and forward thinking of the nation that allowed for his father to go to school on the GI Bill, and

then spoke of need for economic changes.

A stronger middle class is the cause, not the effect of economic growth, he said.

Throughout his speech, he touted his 15 goals. Some of the topics include making it easier to join workers’ unions, advancing the cause of paid family leave, expanding social security and addressing immigration.

“The enduring symbol of our country is not the barbed wire or the chain link fence,” he said. “It is the Statue of Liberty.”

O’Malley wrapped up his speech with a quote from “the great poet laureate of the American Dream,” Bruce Springsteen.

“Is a dream a lie, if it don’t come true?” he quoted in reference to the American Dream.

Lincoln Chafee, who has served as a mayor, U.S. Senator (D-RI) and Rhode Island governor, took to the podium last.

Having been on different levels of local and national government, he said he has the experience needed to lead the country.

“I know what it’s like to plow the snow [and] to pick up the trash,” he said of being a Mayor of Warwick, R.I., which he related to Clear Lake or Mason City.

Chafee touted his executive record of getting gay marriage approved in his state and protecting a woman’s right to chose.

“If you have a tolerant society, your economy is going to prosper,” he said.

Like the other candidates, C h a f e e s a id h e s up p or t e d Obama’s nuclear deal, and called it a path to peace in the region.

“Let’s run hard on ending the wars and bringing the money back home,” Chafee said.

Police Deputy Sam Cain prepares to lead runners and walkers through Sheffield on the 5K color run course June 13. Cain recently graduated from the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy. KELLY MCGOWAN PHOTO

Throughout the class, he learned about the court system, the history of policing, defense tactics, firearms, driving maneuvers and drug enforcement. The newest addition to this training is terrorism response training, he said.

While studying environmental science at NIACC with hopes to work for the DNR, he noticed an increasing interest in law enforcement, so after his first year, he followed that route. He now attends Buena Vista University.

Going from growing up in

Sheffield to working to protect it, he has seen a different side of his hometown.

“There’s a lot of things you just don’t know happen, that happen,” he said.

He has enjoyed being able to share his knowledge and experience with young residents. Sometimes he gives presentations to the Cub Scout and Boy Scout troops at the library.

Another one of his favorite parts of the job is driving up to his in-laws’, where young rela-

tives run up to the car saying “It’s Sam! It’s Sam!” “They always want to come up to the cop car, look in the cop car, you know, there’s kids all over,” he said.

He plans to keep working to keep the peace in Sheffield.

“It’s just a great honor to serve the community,” he said. “It’s been a great experience. There couldn’t be a more wonderful job out there. The best thing is being able to work with everyone you know. I enjoy that.”

Hansen places high at USAT triathlon

BY KRISTI NIXON MILWAUKEE, Wis. – West Fork junior Jacob Hansen competed in the USA Olympic Individual Triathlon 2015 Age Group National Championships, finishing in the top 40 for his age group.

Hansen, who has finished in the top-10 at the state cross country meet the previous two seasons, finished 867th out of 2,609 total competitors, 721st out of 1,428 males and was 39 th in the male age 16-19 on Saturday, Aug. 8.

“I guess it was a pretty good experience to compete at a national level like that,” Hansen said. “I get used to the experience and it helps with the upcoming cross country season.”

He clocked an overall time of 2 hours, 23 minutes and 45.32 seconds for his swim, bike and run.

The triathlon distances were a one-mile swim, 26.86-mile bike and 6.2-mile (10K) run.

Hansen started out with a swim time at 27:38.59, went on to bike in 1:13:53.44 and complet-

ed the run in 37:33.02. This is his third summer of competing in triathlons.

The run time was faster than 33 others in his age group who finished ahead of him and was faster than the rest in the age group field. He was the second Iowan in his age group to finish as Cedar Rapids’ Ian Hoover- Gr i nde was f if t h i n 2:00.37.82.

“It was definitely some good competition,” Hansen said. “Especially in the swim, I think. That helped my swim time, made me swim faster with a new PR (personal record); biking, I didn’t do as well, I had a few seat problems, but I came back and had a pretty solid run. I was happy with that.”

The 2015 USAT Age Group National Championship qualifies athletes for the 2016 Olympic/ Standard Triathlon World Championships. The top 20 athletes per age group annual rankings qualify for the world championship.

Top 10 earn All-American status.

“I think it is going to help me in the fall, endurance-wise,”
