Centennial anniversary party honors institution’s history, future

BY KELLY MCGOWAN A year went into planning one of Franklin County’s biggest birthday parties, and it paid off Sunday afternoon.

People filled the Franklin General Hospital lawn to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the hospital’s original dedication.

What began in 1915 as Hampton Lutheran Hospital in the thriving railroad town quickly grew and later became Franklin General Hospital in 1963. Staff moved patients and equipment from downtown to the current building in 1971.

leaders founded the hospital.

“They were fulfilling part of their faith mission by building the hospital,” Franklin County Historical Society board member Berry Johnson said.

He said the founders made a point to have the hospital be for everyone, no matter their creed, race, condition or income.

“Whether you were a beggar on the street or the president of the bank, the hospital was for you,” Johnson said.

Two reverends gave dedication speeches at the Windsor Theatre for the hospital’s original opening. Speeches were given in both English and German, recognizing the

predominantly German population.

A century later, Johnson and translator Brenda Espejo spoke to the Centennial’s crowd.

Johnson read his speech one line at a time in English, and then Espejo read the same line in Spanish.

“We are a nation of immigrants,” FGH Marketing Manager LeAnn Strother said.

“One hundred years ago, we had immigrants who were making adjustments to the country. We do again now, and we have in between.”

Three groups worked towards the Centennial – the steering, events and history committees.

The events committee made efforts to include pieces of different cultures that make up the Franklin County area: brats and sauerkraut to honor the German heritage as well as the H-D mariachi band’s performance, tamales and piñatas to honor the growing Latino population.

“We looked back at our history in 100 years and realized how the face of our population had changed,” said Pat Sackville, events chair.

A community’s connection to its hospital is strong in a rural setting, according to Strother.

“It’s neighbors taking care of neighbors,” she said. “They often know the people who are going to come on the ambulance, and they count on them.”

Sackville was born in the original hospital building. She said she is passionate about the fact that Franklin County is home to FGH. See FGH: Page 2

BY NICK PEDLEY Residents in th ree Fran klin County communities will see some competition on the ballot when they hit the polls during the Nov. 3 general election.

Geneva, Latimer and Sheffield have contested city council races this year. All positions in Alexander, Coulter, Hampton, Hansell and Popejoy are uncontested, with some communities needing write-in candidates to fill open positions on the ballot.

Latimer had the largest number of candidates file for election. Eric Bruns, Randall DeBour (incumbent), Shaun Koenen, Roger Meyer, Landon Plagge (incumbent) and Michael Walrod filed for three open city council seats. Mark Johansen is the lone candidate running for the mayor’s seat.

Five candidates will vie for three open council seats in Sheffield. Tony Eisentrager, Jim Hegarty (incumbent), Brad Mulford, James Robbins and Ron Simmons (incumbent) all filed for election. Incumbent Nick Wilson is running unopposed for the mayor’s seat.

Geneva’s ballot will feature a contested mayor’s race, as Raymond Silver filed papers to run against incumbent Sean Porter. Four candidates – Brody Bertram, Stephen Love (incumbent), Lydia Mennenga (incumbent) and Jim Zacharias – are running unopposed for five open city council seats. The fifth seat will need to be filled by a write-in candidate.

Hampton couple builds model train set in front yard

BY NICK PEDLEY Engines from the Union Pacific Railroad aren’t the only trains making noise on the western edge of Franklin County.

Gene and Jane Elphic have spent the past four years working on an elaborate model train set in their front yard. The display features two tracks, a water fall, bridges, a tunnel and multiple miniature structures like a farm and town.

“Nobody would believe me if I told them what I got in it, but I wouldn’t say I’d never do it again,” Gene said.

We keep coming up with new and different ideas all the time.

I really enjoy working on it. It’s relaxing.

- Gene Elphic

The idea for the train set stemmed from Gene’s model railroad hobby.

He and Jane started working on the project in 2011 and have gradually added more features each year. This spring, they installed a waterfall complete with bridges and a tunnel.

“One of my dreams was to have it going under the water and over the water,” Gene said. “Everybody has tunnels, but not everybody has it over and under on the same loop.”

“I’m proud that a lot of my clients’ kids are still farming the land that their parents did,” he said.

Fiegen also encouraged Franklin County Democrats to be thorough when picking candidates. He said many were “bought,” and felt voters should be weary.

FILINGS An interesting situation arose in the Hampton City Council race. Jim Davies, current Ward II councilman, submitted nomination papers for the open At-Large seat. Davies said he is looking at moving to another house located outside of Ward II in the near future, which would force him to resign from the position.

C u r r e nt At-L a r ge C ou nci l Member Steve Harms is not seeking re-election. If Davies wins the election, he would have to resign from the Ward II post before he gets signed in to the At-Large seat.

All open positions on the Hampton ballot are uncontested. Incumbent Mayor Brook Boehmler filed for re-election, as did incumbent council members Dyanne Pralle (Ward III) and Meghan Freie (Ward I).

Incumbent Mayor Darrel Baxter filed for re-election in Alexander.

Newcomer Virgil Larsen and in-

cumbents Jacob McNutt and Thomas Schear filed papers for three open city council seats.

In Coulter, Dallas Paris (incumbent), Dan Tilkes (incumbent) and Anthony Stadtlander filed for three open city council seats. Incumbent Mayor James Warwick also filed for re-election.

Colten Harper (incumbent), Ben McKinney, Daryl Norman and Michael Norman (incumbent) will run unopposed for five open city council seats in Hansell. The fifth seat will need to be filled by a write-in candidate. Incumbent Mayor Jason Harper is running unopposed.

Finally, incumbents Ronald Allen, Dennis Bradley, David Larson and Jason Nohrenberg filed for re-election in Popejoy. Nobody filed to run for mayor. That position and the fifth council seat will have to be filled by write-in candidates.

Project tackles erosion at Hartgrave Creek

BY NICK PEDLEY Franklin County Conservation is hoping a recent habitat improvement project will transform a little-known creek into a fishing hot spot.

Lambertsen Excavating spent last week reshaping a 500-foot bank along Hartgrave Creek inside Deer Meadow Wildlife Area. The project added 1,000 tons of rock to the bank, which will reduce soil erosion and improve fishing conditions.

The bank at Hargrave Creek was a top priority for the department, according to Ned Parker, resource manager at Franklin County Conservation.

“When we’d get the flash flooding events, it would wash away huge chunks of the bank and it was eating it away rapidly,” he explained.

“That’s a problem because it increases the [cloudiness] of the water, so this will clean it up and be better for fishing.”

A majority of the $40,000 project was covered by a grant from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Previously, the bank was a near vertical drop off, which made it almost impossible to fish. That also created additional erosion problems that dug out soil as water raced around the bend after rain storms.

The bank was reshaped at an angle before rocks were laid down

“It seems like we’ve been getting more and more flash flooding events,” Parker said. “They’re increasing in frequency and intensity, and I think that’s made it a lot worse.”

“When you live in a small rural community, we can take for granted that we even have a hospital here,” she said.

History shows the residents’ connection to their hospital. Old hospital bulletins listed items given by locals; rhubarb, peas, beans and $4 for a fan for a specified room were a few of the donations.

“It was their hospital and this was their way to support it,” Johnson said. “In a big city, I don’t think that would happen.”

The mindset of giving back to the hospital continues today with the FGH Auxiliary and community support.

“The hospital has been an important part of this community for 100 years,” Johnson said. “It has been there 24/7, 365 days a year – through the Great Depression and the world wars – it is a proud, important segment of the community.”

up with technology, like the recent implementation of the electronic medical records system.

Sackville hoped people left the event with a sense of ownership of the hospital, a deeper understanding of its history and an assurance that it will go on.

In 2065, 50 years from now, the hospital plans to take a look back at Sunday’s Centennial by opening a time capsule that children filled in front of the crowd.

Students from preschool to third grade gathered around Sackville to fill the weatherproof container, which will be installed under a new sundial made by Sukup Manufacturing near the hospital entrance.

Items included lists of children’s favorite school lunches, predictions for 2065, current events, photos and a Centennial historical book.

Annual Windsor throwback evening is Oct. 3 Hampton council approves franchise fee

BY NICK PEDLEY Local residents will be transported in time during this year’s installment of “An Evening Like It Used To Be” Oct. 3 at the Windsor Theatre.

The event features a big band performance, silent movie, barbershop quartet, comedic skits and more. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the show, which is held as a fundraiser for the Franklin County Arts Council (FCAC).

“It’s a pretty unique thing, especially for a community our size,” said FCAC member Leon Kuehner. “It’s something you usually don’t see very often.”

The diverse entertainment lineup is meant to mimic shows from the early 20 th Century. The Windsor Theatre used to host similar attractions back then, and the FCAC likes to recreate some of that magic each year during the event.

New this year is the 17-piece Windsor Big Band comprised of local musicians. The band will play popular music from the 1930s to kick off the show. ld be fun and something “We thought it would ne before,” different we haven’t done Kuehner said. ardy silent The 1928 Laurel & Hardy otin’” will movie “You’re Darn Tootin’” follow the big band’s perforeatures mance. The comedy features lled en20 minutes of laugh-filled d Kuehtertainment, which had ner chuckling when he selected the film.

“I knew I had found the tright one when I was sitting there by myself and laughing out loud,” he said. “It has Laurel and Hardy playing in a band and what happens when things go wrong, as they always do with those two. It’s really hilarious slap-

stick comedy.”

Kuehner typically gets music for the silent movie from a New York-based firm. However, the company didn’t have music for this particular film, which forced the former band director to compile it himself.

He’s spent the past few weeks conducting research and picking the right tunes. He’ll play the songs himself on Oct. 3, but he’s not quite ready just yet.

“I’ll have it figured out by the time the show gets here,” Kuehner said with a laugh. “It’s like a puzzle. That part is time consuming, but it’s kind of fun because you get to go through the creative process of it.”

Kuehner said fellow FCAC members were excited for this year’s event and expected a large crowd. The show has grown each year since it started, which was encouraging for the local group.

“As you continue doing something and there’s more interest, that is very encouraging for our performers,” Kuehner said.

Tickets for “An Evening Like It Used To Be” are on sale at Center 1 in Hampton or at the ddoor the night of the even event. Cost is $10 for adults aand $5 for students. All pproceeds go to FCAC. A big band performance, silent movie, barbershop quartet and comedic skits will be featured Oct. 3 during “An Evening Like It Used To Be” at the Windsor Theatre.

BY TRAVIS FISCHER The Hampton City Council approved the implementation of a franchise fee with Mid-American Energy during its meeting on Monday.

The proposed f ranchise fee would give the city the ability to charge 5 percent on power and gas bills, which would be collected by MidAmerican Energy and ultimately delivered to the city for infrastructure costs.

Before voting on the ordinance, the council heard from Hampton resident Barry Lamos, who expressed concerns with the franchise fee and the effect it would have on the community.

“I just feel like this tax is going to affect lower income people and businesses,” he said.

Citing a declining rate of growth in the city, Lamos questioned wheth-

Phase 1 of reforestation plan complete in Coulter

BY PAMELA WARWICK Coulter Betterment Committee (CBC) members and City Forester Lon Allan held the kickoff event for Coulter’s Trees Forever Program on Saturday morning.

About one dozen volunteers arrived in front of the Coulter Community Center prior to the event. Meeting them was Meredith Borchardt, regional field coordinator for the Trees Forever program. Borchardt explained the benefits of planting more trees in public spaces and led a demonstration on the best planting practices.

er the franchise fee would serve as a deterrent for potential new home owners or businesses that would otherwise move into the community.

“What’s Hampton going to look like in 20 years?” said Lamos. “Is it going to affect businesses coming to town?”

As a counterpoint, council member Jay Hickman noted that the funds raised through the franchise fee will go towards needed infrastructure repairs, particularly on Hampton’s troubled streets, which could be seen as an incentive to move in.

“If you’re looking at a town that’s not in good shape, you might look somewhere else,” said Hickman.

Regarding the impact the franchise fee would have on local employers, Franklin County Development Association director Karen Mitchell sent a message to the city

The Elphics may be the only Hamptonites with a train set in their front yard, but they’re not alone in Iowa.

The couple belongs to the Central Iowa Garden Railroad Society. The organization meets monthly at members’ homes to discuss their hobby and share ideas. The Elphics hosted September’s meeting on Sunday and also invited the public to see their model railroad in action.

The display features two track lines complete with switches. The battery-powered engines are controlled by a remote and are capable of going backwards and forwards.

They can haul large cargos with multiple freight cars, which Gene customizes with loads of replica coal.

The Elphics used the first letters of their five grandkids’ names when they named the track TMACK. They typically run it while working on the garden, sitting on their porch or when the grandkids visit.

Gene said he enjoyed working on the railroad with his wife, who typically tends to the plants and flowers around the track.

Each battery-powered train engine is controlled by a remote and costs more than $600. NICK PEDLEY/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

“It makes things a lot easier when the other half is interested. I don’t care what you’re doing, whether you’re going to stock car races or whatever,” he said. “As long as you both like it, it makes it a lot easier to do some things together once in a while.”

Though the model railroad looks

nice now, the Elphics aren’t finished.

Gene said he’d like to have another track around the water feature and add more miniature buildings like a sawmill and elevator.

“We keep coming up with new and different ideas all the time,” he said. “I really enjoy working on it.

It’s relaxing.”

A grant for around $2,300 covered the cost of 25 trees.

Allan was pleased to present the city council with a grant for around $2,300 in August, which covered the cost of 25 trees from Natural Plus Nursery in Clear Lake.

Those 25 trees arrived at Allan’s private property on Sept. 11. Locations were measured and marked on city property the next day. One Call had all utilities marked soon after, and Franklin County Conservation arrived Friday morning to drill holes for tree placement.

The Sat urday mor ning kick off event marked the end of a seven-month journey into addressing the impending emerald ash borer (EAB) crisis’ eventual arrival in Franklin County. With a count of 155 ash trees on city property, the disease looks to wreak future havoc on the tiny town of 282 residents.

Therefore, Allan, a retired conservationist, was appointed forester by the Coulter City Council earlier this year. As an active member of the CBC, he proposed a preemptive strike of reforestation before diseased trees leave the town bare.

Allan, through the primary volunteer efforts of Sanford Morton, devised a plan that will require two grant cycles each year to determine the number and types of trees planted the following season.

Saturday’s trees included three types of oaks, Hackberry and Kentucky Coffee among several others.

The emphasis is to encourage a vast diversity for a canopy more resistant to EAB.

stating that she could find nothing to support the assertion that the utility franchise fee would cause a business to cut jobs or decide not to expand.

“I posed the following question to my colleagues in the region, plus the Iowa Economic Development Authority’s existing business project manager,” wrote Mitchell. “All respondents, including the state, replied ‘No.’ I could find no facts to support that assertion.”

Mayor Brook Boehmler also pointed out that if the franchise fee does result in too much of an expense for Hampton residents and business owners, the council has other methods to compensate.

“If we’re hurting on this, I’d just as soon lower property taxes,” he said.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

Winnowing season On Monday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker suspended his campaign for president due to diminishing funds and a lack of public support. The move came as a surprise to some, but it should mark the start of an exodus of candidates in the crowded Republican field.

Walker’s quick exit was one of the more surprising developments in the race for the GOP nomination. He was once considered a rising star in the Republican Party, quickly climbing to the top of polls shortly after announcing his presidential campaign this summer. However, financial constraints and other concerns eventually did him in. Walker saw the writing on the wall, and some of his GOP rivals should follow his lead.

The Àeld is simply too muddled right now, which makes it difÀcult to sift through the nonsense to Ànd a viable group of frontrunners.

Turbulence has marred the Republican campaign from the start. Political outsiders like Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson rose to the top of polls thanks to their anti-establishment rhetoric, which created concern among party leaders. Their success has undermined the campaigns of other GOP bigwigs thought to be more viable choices for the White House by media pundits and other political insiders. While that may carry some truth, it’s hard to argue with the results. Polls show that Republicans are looking for an alternative to the standard and the success of these outsiders only backs that up.

Seventeen candidates entered the Republican race at the start of the campaign season. That number is now down to 15, but it’s still far too many. Low poll numbers and dismal fundraising efforts have nagged the campaigns of at least five GOP presidential candidates for the past four months. While there’s still a long ways to go, they would be wise to step away from the race to make it easier on voters. The field is simply too muddled right now, which makes it difficult to sift through the nonsense to find a viable group of frontrunners.

The pope and politics This week marks the first visit to the United States by Pope Francis. Such visits typically garner frenzied media coverage and nationwide attention, but this stop has received even more buzz thanks to the pope’s vocal stances on things like climate change, poverty and other lightening rod topics.

Pope Francis’ views on these issues are intermingled by the Catholic Church’s guiding principles of faith. Though some have criticized the pontiff for being so outspoken, he’s given the world a different perspective through the eyes of a religious leader.

We typically view these issues with polarized opinions and harsh political rhetoric. Pope Francis, however, has offered a different perspective by making it an issue about the human condition. Our actions have consequences, which typically affect the most alienated groups of individuals on the planet. Some might twist his views and condemn them for being anti-capitalist, but the heart of his message is about helping your fellow man.

It will be interesting to see what Pope Francis’ message is to Americans. His views clash with both the political left and right, so there will no doubt be some uncomfortable moments when he meets our nation’s leaders. However, his visit isn’t about politics. He’s a religious figurehead and he’ll no doubt offer a message of hope and a call to action.

Americans – be they Christian, Jewish, Muslim or Hindu – would be wise to listen.

Long ago I found that it is difficult to fight the power of the pen, but in this case I am wondering if Mr. Fisher is using his power to persuade his readership, or just convince himself. I suspect the latter.

I would like to remind Mr. Fisher that even though it may seem that the battle has been lost, the war was won long, long ago, for almost 2,000 years now.

Walk day activities will include coordinated fire drills and walks for schools and businesses on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Delta Dental of Iowa is pleased to sponsor this year’s walk. Our mission is to improve the smiles and health of Iowans. By combining physical activity and taking care of your dental health, Iowa can continue the momentum towards becoming the healthiest state in the nation.

Our goal this year is to have a walk in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. We’d love to have you join us.

You can find a walk online. If one

hasn’t been scheduled in your area, pull your friends, neighbors and co-workers together, or simply head outside and take a walk on your own.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of Iowans have voted with their feet in favor of becoming the healthiest state. Let’s take a few more steps.

Walk at the Whistle on Oct. 7.

Use caution on local roadways this fall Letter to the Editor: Fall is my favorite time of the year. The trees are changing colors, I have an excuse to eat pumpkin treats and we harvest our crops that we’ve worked all year on.

As corn and soybean harvest begins in Franklin County, please remember to be safe and slow down, as activity increases throughout the countryside and on roadways. There are a few ways that both farmers and drivers can be prepared for harvest as we celebrate National Farm Safety and Health Week Sept. 20-26.

Farmers have been working hard the last month to get all of their equipment ready for this busy season. Part of getting our equipment ready for the field means making sure our equipment is ready for the roadway. Make sure that breaks and

lights work, and that slow moving vehicle signs are attached.

Be aware and on the lookout for both large equipment and vehicles on the road. Between tall corn, hills and dusty roads, everyone needs to be prepared for oncoming traffic of all sizes. If everyone would use some caution and courtesy during this time of year, we can help reduce accidents.

Because visibility can be limited in the fall, farmers should consider having an escort vehicle to help call attention to farm equipment coming down the road. This helps everyone share the road safely.

I hope everyone in Franklin County has a safe and fun fall as we enjoy everything that makes this season so great!

Iowa is a leader in clean energy.

Since 1983, our state has had laws on the books requiring major utilities to provide a portion of their energy from renewables. Over the years, clean energy has created jobs, boosted our economy, lowered energy bills and made our environment healthier.

Iowa’s known for its wind, and we’ve done a good job of harnessing it for energy. Generating wind power creates no emissions and uses little water. In 2014, Iowa was the top state in country for wind energy, generating 28 percent of our electricity from wind.

According to a report on Iowa wind energy, last year Iowa’s wind industry: • Supported about 7,000 jobs.

• Included 12 active manufacturing facilities.

• Made a capital investment of $10 billion.

• Generated more than $17 million in land lease payments.

The American Wind Energy Association predicts we could produce 40 percent of our state’s energy from wind within five years.

Solar is also taking off in Iowa.

The Legislature approved solar energy tax credits in 2012 to encourage Iowans to install solar energy systems on homes, businesses and farms. In addition, the state tax credit allows Iowa to take advantage of a federal tax credit that also promotes solar energy installations.

Iowa’s solar energy tax credits have been popular. In response, the Legislature has increased the tax credits to $5 million per year and made utilities eligible for production tax credits for solar power projects.

Since 2012, the credits have helped build more than 1,200 projects, leverage more than $50 million in solar investments and create nearly 1,000 jobs for solar energy installers, technicians and others.

To see the number of solar energy installations awarded tax credits in our area or to learn more about applying for the taxcredits, go to www.tax.iowa.gov/solar-energy-system-tax-credits.

Perception vs. reality Lately there’s been a video circulating across my Facebook page.

It shows security camera footage of an ordinary street on an ordinary night. People are walking around, minding their business, when suddenly a man runs into frame and is struck down by a bolt of lightning.

He collapses on the ground for a few seconds, gets up and tries to stumble away, only to get struck again. The video is accompanied by text that claims the man intended to mug a couple that had been seen earlier in the video.

This bothers me. Not the video itself, but the number of people who believe that it’s real. Seemingly rational people see this and matter-of-factly state that it must be “divine providence.” As though this is the sort of thing that happens every day.

Video shows g uy get st r uck by lightning twice, they assume “God stepped in” and move on with their day.

In reality, the video is not proof that divine intervention exists, but proof that Adobe After Effects exists. Jack up the contrast on a few frames, overlay a lightning graphic and you’re done. Given the source video, I could create the same effect in under an hour.

And while I can appreciate that not everybody has the time to go through the video frame by frame and notice that God apparently has a special kind of lightning that illuminates without casting any new shadows, at least one person does.

If you have time to post something on the Internet that makes you amazed or angry, you have time to do a quick Google search to find out if it’s real or not.

cause he couldn’t convince authorities that a clock was a clock.

An aspiring engineer, Mohammed took parts from an old clock and put them back together inside a pencil case. Granted, that’s not a great way to build something that tells time, but it is a great way to figure out how something works, which was the point of the exercise.

When the clock started beeping in class, Mohammed’s teacher did the rational thing and told him to shut it off before continuing the lesson. Oh wait, no. She called the principal, who pulled him out of class and to meet with four Irving police officers who had apparently decided before Mohammed ever stepped into the room that the clock was not a science project, but a hoax bomb.

The kind of hoax that apparently involves showing the “bomb” to your electronics teacher, keeping it in your bag until another teacher asks to see it and telling everybody that will listen that it’s a clock.

A brilliant plan for a bomb scare if I ever heard one.

Mohammed was questioned by police without his parents present and, being unable to convince them that the clock was a clock, was pulled out of school in handcuffs.

Not because of anything he did, but because some other person thought his science project looked like something it wasn’t and refused to reconcile that preconceived belief with reality.

Perception is important, but people hold on to it too tightly and it never ends well when they do.

OPINION & NEWS

HAMPTON CHRONICLE • SECTION A

THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger On the way home from the Hampton Municipal Airport where we were loading cover crop seed onto an Air Tractor, I tuned into NPR for an alternative to, uh I’m not sure what; 10 second news stories?

There was a young gal on there complaining about “old white men wanting to control my health care.”

She said, “Planned Parenthood is so much more than abortion.” From the phony conservative from National Review to the regular leftists of NPR, they were all aghast at the prospect of a government shutdown.

It is mighty disconcerting to know that the vast majority of Americans now believe they don’t have enough stake in their world to take care of it themselves. They would rather foist their own health care off on some faceless unaccountable blob funded by old white men with no say in how their money is spent.

Well guess what? Accountability only comes from a refusal to pay or a return for further service.

It is presumptuous of this girl to expect something for nothing when those old white men have no control over her lifestyle. How are they supposed to control costs when they don’t even know this person?

I hope this is a simple enough

LOOKING BACK

COUNCIL

Honor Him explanation of why medical costs have gone through the roof. By the way, I finally found a statistic on spending of Medicare that seems to indicate the tip of a huge iceberg: about 30 percent of all Medicare spending goes to patients in the final six months of life. I have yet to find Medicare as a percentage of total health care spending. Let me know. Anyone who blames the free market for high medical costs should note, there hasn’t been a free market in medicine since 1965. It is time to abandon a failed system, not expand or protect it.

On to a trivial break from life and death struggles, for fun. What morons we are for thinking government should have anything to say in who signs a marriage contract.

What a waste of a courtroom, the air conditioning, the walls, the security guards, all of it. If this woman doesn’t want to do her job she should seek employment elsewhere. But that is a minor issue compared to why taxpayers forgo a steak dinner or shoes for their kids to humor this woman. The case should never have been heard or the county clerk’s time wasted issuing marriage licenses.

Travis’ most important point in last week’s column on Kim Davis is this: As long as we haggle over details relating to which liberty government can restrict instead of the restriction of any liberty at all, our liberties will be at risk as those who oppose our views use precedent we fought for against us. The line should

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2015

be drawn at any government power, not which government power.

Still heavy after all, eh? My friend Melba’s mention of “diligently watching news casts” immediately brought to mind one of my most influential books, “1984.” In it, the population is controlled through “telescreens,” now called newscasts. The world is kept in a perpetual state of war with slogans such as “WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY,” and “IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.” My stepmother often suggests I don’t know what is going on because we don’t watch TV news.

I believe the opposite.

At the risk of being branded as a part of the “blame America” crowd, I will instead doubt the actions of our politicians as being anywhere near the actions of the patriotic heroes they portend to be. In the recent string of foreign policy disasters, we see evidence that it must stop.

Before the neo-cons thought they could either make the Middle East an oil colony or a democratic utopia, it was much more stable than it is now. Migrants were people too productive in the Middle Eastern culture so they fled to Western countries to better themselves (and the countries they adopted as their own). Now they flee for their lives.

But have you noticed 90 percent of them are young males? Think of the possibilities, not that I am suggesting anything in particular.

I would also not suggest that we not be vigilant in our relationship

with Iran. But the tough guy posturing by so-called conservative pundits and politicians is just more newspeak showing they are in the pockets of oil interests and war profiteers. It has nothing to do with keeping America safe. To have such sweeping acts of war as we have perpetrated on Iran be based on some rhetoric so similar to our own, is not in keeping with a country guided by morality. The billions of dollars we are supposedly giving Iran was taken from them in the first place. Sanctions are an act of war in anyone’s book outside the Ministry of Truth.

Like the gay wedding issue, the ultimate solution is to keep our noses out of other people’s business and reserve aggression for when it is warranted. Anything else creates more enemies and diminishes our ability to address a real crisis when it arrives.

How all this relates to cover crops is this: The soil is a living thing. Any time it spends without cover kills some of the life in that soil. We take for granted God’s gift of life in so many ways. Unborn babies, Iranian people; they are all created by God. To destroy them is no way to honor Him. Any discussion relating to this column is welcome at 4selfgovernment@gmail.com, or you may be entertained with various posts at www.alternativebyfritz.com. A letter to the editor would help share your views with our community as I appreciate the efforts put forth by Melba.

It was also noted that while the franchise fee agreement will last for 20 years, the council has the flexibility to adjust the percentage downwards if deemed necessary.

Following discussion, Ordinance No. 359 and 360 were unanimously approved by the council. The 5 percent franchise fee will go into effect on Dec. 1.

In other business, the council approved the third and final reading of an ordinance to amend the municipal code, adjusting the terminology of the city’s abatement policy to grant it greater flexibility when dealing with nuisance properties.

On the subject of nuisance properties, Public Works Director Doug Tarr reported that significant progress has been made in dealing with one of the city’s neglected nuisance properties. The property has been tested for asbestos and Tarr expects that the fire department will schedule a controlled burn to take it down before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Police Chief Bob Schaefer reported to the council that Homecoming has been pleasantly quiet so far. The police department has identified five high school-aged individuals believed to be responsible for some of the recent spray painting incidents in the city. Schaefer expects to release the names of the individuals and file charges against them soon.

Finally, a date and time was set for Halloween trick-or-treating. Costumed candy hunters can trick-ortreat from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31.

IVCCD reports enrollment declines The Iowa Valley Community College District (IVCCD) Board of Directors discussed fall enrollment numbers for Ellsworth Community College (ECC) and Marshalltown Community College (MCC) when it met this month in Iowa Falls.

IVCCD Chancellor Dr. Chris Duree reported a significant drop in fall term enrollments for both ECC and MCC. ECC is down 117 students (12.33 percent) and 1,586.5 credit hours (12.88 percent) this fall compared to fall 2014. MCC is down 117 students (5.73 percent) and 1,180.5 credit hours (6.53 percent) this fall compared to fall 2014. As a whole, the district is down 7.82 percent in student headcount and 9.1 percent in credit hours this fall compared to last fall.

Dr. Duree said he has not received statewide numbers to compare Iowa Valley to Iowa’s other community colleges, but many others have seen significant drops in recent years while ECC and MCC have seen only slight declines until now.

In other matters, the board approved contracted services agreements to provide college-level instruction for high school students in BCLUW, East Marshall, Gladbrook-Reinbeck, GMG, Hampton-Dumont, Marshalltown, Meskwaki Settlement School, Montezuma, Nevada, North Mahaska, South Tama and West Marshall School Districts.

ReLeaf Program available for Coulter residents Last Saturday’s tree planting event in Coulter did not fill every resident’s desire for a new tree.

BY DEB EISENTRAGER I would like to thank everyone who came to our outdoor movie night featuring “Secondhand Lions.”

It was a beautiful night, but a little chilly by the time the movie got over.

Around 50 people attended.

The library board did a great job serving popcorn, ice cream cones and water. They even shared their bug spray. You wouldn’t think the mosquitoes would be out on a cool night like that, but they were. A big thank you to Deb Allen for running the projector and letting us use her speakers. Thank you to our board president, Katie Menken, for introducing the film because I was losing my voice.

We would like to thank Dumont Implement, Harrison-Thornburgh Insurance, M-G Floor Décor and First Security Bank & Trust for sponsoring the movie. Thank you to the Community Club for popping the popcorn. Thank you to J & C for donating bottles of water and ice cream cones. Thanks to the city guys for blocking off the street.

Jodi and I have been having fun picking out our favorite movies to show for outdoor movie night. If you have a favorite you would like to see, tell us. We are happy to take suggestions as we hope to do this again next year. Stop by the library and give us your pick.

“Not only does belonging to 4-H help youth develop life skills such as communicating and record keeping, it also gives them a chance to give back to their community,” said Jackie Dohlman, county youth coordinator. “Several of our clubs visit nursing homes, conduct local Easter egg hunts, and pot planters to decorate our county fair, which is just a small example of what these clubs are doing for our community.”

Currently Franklin County has 12 traditional 4-H clubs and three special interest clubs. These special interest clubs include a First Lego League, horse and outdoor recreation club. Contact Dohlman at the Franklin County Extension Office for more information at (641) 4564811 or jackied@iastate.edu.

Research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent findings from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that, when compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are: • Nearly four times more likely to contribute to their communities, • Two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors, and • Two times more likely to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs in the out-of-school time.

St at e Se n. A ma nd a R aga n (D-Mason City) will co-chair a new legislative committee to serve as a watchdog over Gov. Terry Branstad’s privatization of Medicaid, the health care system for a half million Iowans.

“Governor Branstad’s plan calls for privatizing more and privatizing faster than any other state in the nation,” Ragan said in a release. “I’m concerned that this approach may endanger the health of Iowans on Medicaid and could shrink the number of health care providers willing to participate.”

The Legislative Health Policy Oversight Committee will receive updates, review data and input and make recommendations regarding Medicaid managed care. The group of five state senators and five state representatives will meet twice this fall and gather information from Iowa families and health care providers.

Medicaid is a joint state-federal partnership that provides health care to some 560,000 families and children, low-income people, pregnant women, the elderly and people with disabilities. Services provided include inpatient and outpatient

hospital services, prenatal care, vaccines for children, nursing care for persons aged 21 or older and home health care for persons eligible for skilled-nursing services.

Branstad’s changes have sparked concern among some lawmakers.

“Governor Branstad claims he will save money by making sudden, dramatic changes while paying private companies five times as much in overhead costs,” said Ragan. “I’m skeptical this can be done without denying Iowans the health care they need.”

Senator Ragan can be reached by calling (641) 424-0874 or by emailing Amanda.Ragan@legis.iowa.gov.

Exploring Iowa’s unsolved murders This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.

Kimberly Loose died in a one-car accident after leaving her best friend’s 16th birthday party.

Authorities determined she was thrown from the passenger seat of a car driven by Jeffery Daily.

Also in the car were Daily’s best friend, Craig Petersen, and his brother, Kevin Petersen. Daily, who wasn’t injured, was charged only with operating a vehicle while under the inÀuence of alcohol.

The Loose family was initially told that Kim’s death was a freak accident — that the vehicle’s passenger door had fallen open while allegedly traveling 20 mph over a speed bump in ANYONE WITH

a parking lot — and that Kim had fallen from the vehicle, broken her neck and died.

In 2011, Kim’s family obtained copies of police reports and autopsy photos which were inconsistent with what they were told 25 years earlier. The sheriff’s of¿ce reopened the case, calling the death “suspicious,” but closed it again shortly after, ruling the death an accident. The family doesn’t know what transpired from the time the death was ruled suspicious and the case reopened, until it was ruled accidental and the case closed.

Craig Petersen died just over one day after Kimberly Loose died in the company of Petersen’s best friend, Jeffery Daily. Petersen disappeared the morning of Sept. 28, 1986 while walking across the Interstate 280 bridge south of Davenport. Two days later, his body was found Àoating two miles west of Montpelier on the Mississippi River. No conclusive evidence ever proved whether Petersen had jumped (voluntari-

ly or by coercion), fallen, or been pushed from the bridge into the river.

Both Loose’s and Petersen’s deaths were considered suspicious and perhaps related, given the victims’ association with Daily, yet in the nearly three decades since the two young victims died, conÀicting reports of what happened that weekend still leave loved ones wondering if they’ll ever ¿nd answers or closure.

ANY INFORMATION about the deaths of Kimberly Loose or Craig Petersen is encouraged to contact the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at (563) 284-9506 or the Iowa DCI at 515-725-6010.

PUBLIC NOTICES

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Hansen Foundation announces $300,000 donation for Hansen Home For Hope The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation is pleased to announce its lead donation of $300,000 to Children’s Cancer Connection for the establishment of the Hansen Home For Hope.

Children’s Cancer Connection, established in 1988, provides quality programs and services for recreation, education and support to children and their families battling childhood cancer. The organization

now serves more than 500 families who are living, being treated or were diagnosed in Iowa. All services are offered at little or no cost and no one is ever turned away due to financial considerations.

Located in Des Moines, the Hansen Home For Hope, won’t be a residential facility, but a place that’s comfortable and home-like for families needing a respite from the insti-

tutional environment of a hospital.

Childhood-cancer patients and families are referred to Children’s Cancer Connection by Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines and the University of Iowa’s Children’s Hospital in Iowa City. Children’s Cancer Connection programs include hospital-based patient services, family support services and outings, camps and retreats for both

patients and families, and survivor support services.

“We’ve formed a strong relationship with Children’s Cancer Connection, their programs, their people and their patient families,” says Deb Hansen, co-founder of the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation. “We have a perfect match to one of our Foundation’s core areas of supporting organizations who work to find a cure for

childhood cancers and improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families.”

Established in 2006 by the owners of Iowa Select Farms, the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation also works in the areas of hunger relief and supporting members of the Armed Services and their families.

Cowboys suffer tough 45-8 home loss to West Hancock

BY LES HOUSER CLARION – Hampered by the loss of their starting quarterback, the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows/CAL varsity football team still tried to give it its best shot, but were no match for the West Hancock Eagles last Friday night in a 45-8 loss.

After the home team scored the first touchdown of the night on a pretty 59-yard scamper by Zach Pogge, the visitors dominated the game the rest of the way for the win.

“Being without our starting quarterback (Kainan Braun, due to a concussion) put us in a difficult situation offensively,” said head coach Paul Hansch. “However, that doesn’t excuse giving up 45 points on defense.

Mostly, we just got out-played on both sides of the ball. We were often out of position on the perimeter, and not as physical up front as we need to be. We will continue to work on these things.

“We all wish the pace of progress would pick up, but for now we will continue to try to fix the things we can.”

The Cowboys compiled 264 total offensive yards, while the Eagles gained 408 on the night. They had 54 plays for an average of 4.9 yards per play, compared to West Hancock’s 6.7 yards per play average. The Cow-

boys had 13 first downs to 20 for the visitors, converting on 3-of-11 third-downs (27.3 percent) and 2-of5 fourth downs (40 percent).

There were just four flags for 40 penalty yards on the Cowboys, compared to eight whistles for 80 yards on the Eagles. The Cowboys lost one of three fumbles, and led in time of possession 26:09 to 21:43.

Pogge picked up 177 of the 255 rushing yards (7.7-yard average) on his own 23 carries and scored the only touchdown and two-point conversion.

Tanner Abbas carried seven times for 41 yards, Nathan Rapp five times for 14 yards, Reymundo Vasquez ran 11 times for 13 yards and Jarrod Littlejohn once for 10 yards. Vasquez was one of six passing for nine yards and two interceptions. Abbas caught that one completion.

Rapp kicked off twice for a 37.5yard average, while Chase Harker booted three punts for a 29.3-yard average. Abbas returned four kicks for a 16.5-yard average while Israel Rivera returned one kick for 18 yards and he also returned one punt for five more.

Pogge made 10 solo tackles and six assists, Harker made four solo stops with one tackle assist, with Trent McAtee and Rapp both mak-

ing three solo stops. McAtee also had two tackle assists and Rapp one.

Caleb Striegel and Vasquez both had two solo and one assist, and Bryce Tegtmeyer made two solo stops.

Abbas and Rivera each had one solo and two assists.

“Once again Pogge was our leader on both sides of the ball,” said Hansch. “He is putting together a very nice season, which is something he deserves and I am glad to see it.”

This week: Cowboys (1-2, 0-1) at Clear Lake (1-2, 1-0): The Lions come off a 35-7 win over Estherville-Lincoln Central. “They were the pick as one of the favorites to win the district heading into the season, and it appears they’re very deserving of that kind of respect,” said Hansch.

ST. ANSGAR – The Saints forced four Warhawk turnovers, including a fumble recovery for a touchdown as St. Ansgar kept West Fork’s football team from its first win in a 49-8 final on Friday, Sept. 18.

Jarel Arbegast was picked off three times despite completing nearly half of his passes (6-of-13) for 61 yards as the Warhawks fell to 0-4, 0-2 in Class 1A District 3.

Cole Hall had a big night both offensively and defensively, leading coach Eric Gabe’s squad with 37 rushing yards and the team’s only touchdown, a six-yard run, while leading the way with seven solo tackles and eight tackle assists with two tackles for loss.

Hall also completed his only pass attempt, a 12-yarder to Jacob Kuhlemeier. The senior receiver had four catches for 28 yards. Christian Ames’ lone catch went for 41.

The Warhawks were trying to work senior running back Tyson Pillard back into the game, but he had only eight carries, averaging a yard per carry.

St. Ansgar had four different players score rushing TDs while quarterback Ben Boerjan passed for two more.

West Fork plays this week in its homecoming game vs. Central Springs (2-2, 1-1 Class 1A District 3) after the Panthers escaped with a 1412 win at home against Lake Mills.

TR IPOLI – Class 1A thirdranked Tripoli lived up to its billing in a 25-7, 25-11, 25-5 sweep of CAL’s volleyball team on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

The Panthers allowed for only four kills from the Cadets and had the visitors playing a lot of defense against a potent attack.

Coach Amanda Heiden’s team finished with 19 digs and a block and had much improved serving from its home match the night before, but Tripoli proved to be a tough opponent with five different players recording multiple kills and combining for 26 ace serves.

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Bulldogs drop district opener at Garner HAMPTON – More injuries, too many turnovers and a formidable running back who went for more than 100 yards all added up to a 27-6 loss for Hampton-Dumont’s football team (2-2, 0-1 district) at Garner-Hayfield/Ventura on Friday, Sept. 18.

In addition to the running backs who are out with knee injuries for at least a couple more weeks and receiver/defensive back Evan Koenen, who was a game-time decision, Gus Jacomé and Aidan Carr went out with ankle injuries against the Cardinals.

Bulldogs’ head coach Jerry Shafrath said both Jacomé and Carr should be OK for Friday and Koenen felt some pain before the game and the decision was made to hold him out another week.

“We’re hoping to get people healthy eventually,” Shafrath said.

“The guys who filled in did a nice job.”

But G-H/V forced four turnovers, including three interceptions – one of which was returned for a 19-yard touchdown – as the home team started to pull away.

“We had some turnovers,” Shafrath said, “and Garner had four third-down-and-8 situations and converted on all of them. Their first score was aided on a pass interference call.

“When you play a quality team, you can’t turn the ball over.”

Nevertheless, Shafrath said that he felt Garner would be one of the top teams in the district.

Despite all of this, the Bulldogs only trailed 14-6 at halftime when

Coleton Barz’s quarterback sneak from six out with 45 seconds left in the first half cut into the Cardinal advantage. During that drive, Hunter Sutter, making his first start at halfback, had a 35-yard catch-and-run to set up the score.

“For a first chance to start with a game of that significance, that is a lot to ask,” Shafrath said of Sutter, a sophomore. “They (Garner) did a good job running the football; Connor Shaw was outstanding, ran for 178 yards against us. We had a hard time tackling him when he got into the open field and I thought their offensive line did a nice job.”

Shafrath also commended the play up front of senior Ray Ruiz.

“It (the score) was 27-6, but it felt a lot closer,” Shafrath said. “We just weren’t able to stop them at times.

I was pleased with the effort they gave. That was a stepping stone for this week.”

The Bulldogs face Osage for their homecoming game this Friday night.

The Green Devils are 3-1, 1-0 Class 2A District 2.

“Another good opponent,” Shafrath said. “They’ve got a quarterback doing a nice job of throwing the football. They like to spread the field, a pass-oriented offense. They throw a lot, with three-four receivers. They are going to challenge us to tackle in space. We have to emphasize tackling in practice this week.

“It is a wild week as far as getting everything done as far as homecoming with the events involved; a fun, festive week. We have to stay focused and remember we have a football game on Friday.”

AGWSR gains crucial district win FAIRBANK – AGWSR got its first win when it needed it the most, a 12-6 win at Wapsie Valley on Friday, Sept. 18 to improve to 1-1 in district play, 1-3 overall.

Touchdowns by Josh Balvanz and Levi Stockdale were enough as the Cougars held on for the road victory.

Stockdale had 40 carries for 182 yards, but his lone score was from two yards out. Balvanz carried the ball for 77 yards on 14 attempts and a 34 yard touchdown run.

Coach Skip Eckhardt’s team forced four turnovers, including an interception return by Liam Stubbe for 26 yards. Stockdale had an interception and the Cougars’ lone fumble recovery in the win.

Caleb Meinders led the defense with 4 solo stops and five tackle assists. Stockdale had the lone tackle for loss on three solo tackles and one assist.

UNDER-SERVED

ƒ Serve game an adventure in AGWSR-CAL volleyball match

BY KRISTI NIXON LATIMER – With both CAL and AGWSR living and dying by the serve in this non-conference match, it only seemed fitting that the match ended on an ace serve.

Three close sets all swung the Cougars way in a 26-24, 25-19, 25-21 match at Latimer for CAL’s homecoming coronation night on Monday, Sept. 14.

The two teams combined for 22 aces and 22 service errors. Ask both coaches, and neither were pleased with their teams’ serving.

“Serving tonight was a little crazy,” AGWSR co-coach Betsy Harms said. “We had quite a few misses tonight and we probably also had quite a few aces tonight. We missed way too many than we should have at the varsity level.

“And to see Maddie (Brandt) miss three in a row earlier, then to put an ace down to win the game, that’s just something for her confidence level because we play against BCLUW, going into that I think she needed that at the end of the game.”

CAL coach Amanda Heiden added, “We definitely missed too many serves and struggled on serve receive, that was definitely the thing – not getting set up off serve receive, killed us.”

The game, that was originally scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15, was moved so that CAL could celebrate its homecoming king and queen

coronation because of changes with football this season.

“We a re ver y than k f ul for that,” Heiden said. “Otherwise we wouldn’t have a coronation…maybe on Tuesday night, but definitely nice to get a crowd out to support the teams.”

Harms added, “They emailed us about that and I said absolutely. We were free tonight and we like to accommodate when we can; we know it’s important to keep the tradition alive.”

AGWSR was 63-of-74 serving with 19 aces while CAL was 58-for69 with three aces.

This was despite the fact that five different CAL players, Dianna Porzio (12-of-12), Emily Quinones (12for-12), Stephanie Thielen (10-of10), Hannah Lohrbach (2-for-2) and Kassidy State (1-for-1) were perfect on serves.

But both teams were stepping out of conference action and unused to the style of play on either side.

“We didn’t know exactly what to

expect tonight,” Harms said. “So, from that aspect we had to be on our toes just to see what the style of play was going to be and making adjustment to that.

“All three games were neck-andneck and for them to be able to pull all three out and stay composed even through those times when they had quite a few hitting errors as well tonight, to adjust and to pull out three close games in a row is good for us tonight.”

Katie Gast finished with a matchhigh nine kills for the Cougars, but it was serving that became the deciding factor. Games two and three both ended on an ace, in fact in the second game, three of Abbie Young’s seven aces came within the last four points, including the decider.

Heiden said she was happy her team stepped out of Iowa Star North play to see the Cougars’ style.

“I thought they are a good team,” Heiden said. “They set it up a lot and gave us a look at a wider variety of offense than what we’ve seen in a lot of teams that we play. Overall, it is good competition and they worked harder and got the win.”

The Cougars actually had game point at 24-23 in the first set, but a serve by Groninga, who finished 11of-12 with five aces, went long. Two CAL hitting errors ended it.

But it remained close.

“I’m not upset at all – we played hard and first time seeing them, getting to learn their offense,” Heiden said. “Next year, hopefully, we’ll come out and play a little better.”

Harms added, “I think one of the biggest things for our team is that close game. In the past, we haven’t pulled through on, so we are seeing that, going in with a three-game winning streak.”

OVERCOMING THE ODDS Bulldogs rally from two-set deficit to win first conference match in nearly 2 years

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – Hampton-Dumont setter Cassy Miller admits that when her team lost the first game in the Bulldogs’ 3-2 match win against Webster City by a 25-9 score on Tuesday, Sept. 15, the odds of coming back didn’t look good.

And it looked far worse when H-D faced a 2-0 deficit after a 25-14 second-set loss.

But then head coach Dave Harms took the team out of the gym and said some inspiring words.

“I thought it would be pretty tough with how we started,” Miller said, “but after the third game we were getting back to the way that we normally play. “(Coach) said that he couldn’t do it for us, he can’t say much, we just have to want it.”

The Bulldogs then showed that they wanted it, pulling out to an early lead and keeping it close throughout that third game.

Harms also said that first game was a tough one to watch in the 9-25, 14-25, 27-25, 25-18, 15-4 win.

“Getting the girls started…we couldn’t handle the serve,” Harms said. “They had a tidal wave going over us that we couldn’t stop. We were drowning a little bit and we made a few switches in there, tried to get girls settled down, back in the game and try to show confidence in them and try to give them a chance to work through a few things.”

Webster City had just two leads in the third set, early on at 7-6 and then taking a two-point advantage at 23-21, forcing Harms to call timeout.

From there, the Lynx’s next serve went long, Macy Scheideman and Makayla Severs put down back-toback kills and when Webster City’s Andi Anderson put down a kill to tie it at 24, Scheideman’s kill gave the Bulldogs set point. Lynx prolonged the match with another kill before Gabbie Tielke’s kill earned another set point that ended on a hitting error

by Webster City.

From there, the momentum kept swinging H-D’s way.

“It was huge,” Harms said of coming back from the two-set hole.

“I think that we came of age the last weekend. We went to the Belmond

tournament and I thought they grew as a team. They found out they could play through the difficult times.

“The losses we had at Vinton and the close loss we had against Clarion, that really hurts and they found out they can play through the hard games at Belmond and play tougher teams and they are starting to believe in themselves a lot more. And I think we are going to see a better team from here on out.”

They overcame a 3-0 start by Webster City in the fourth game, taking their first lead of that set at 14-13 after a Lynx hitting error forcing a timeout.

Following that, the Bulldogs started to pull away at 19-15 with kills by Severs, Scheideman and a tip by Ana Westhoff, making the Lynx call another time.

Webster City rallied for a few points after that, but H-D reasserted itself with kills by Westhoff, a timely stuff block by Miller and Scheideman and a tip by Tielke made it 22-17.

During that fourth game, Miller rolled her ankle and Halie Dombrowski stepped in for setting responsibilities. “ H a l ie D o m b r ow s k i c a m e through for us in a tough pinch,” Harms said. We put her in a tough spot for serve receive and she did that. And then when Cassy rolled her ankle, we put her in for setting and she did a great job.

“I put Cassy back in there because I like continuity with what we have. I got to hand it to Halie for giving it up for the team, doing the job that she was asked to do.”

Miller said her ankle was fine after and that it scared her more than anything.

Showing that she felt fine, the junior went out and served H-D to an 8-0 lead in the fifth and deciding set of the match. “(I was) pretty confident,” Miller said. “I just knew that if we moved our serves around that if we did the best we could we could do it.”

Webster City proved to be its own enemy during that serving run with the first five points coming on hitting errors. Emily Casey put down a kill and Miller’s ace made it 7-0 before another hitting error by the Lynx made the lead too much for

anyone to come back from.

“She (Miller) has always been a goto server for us and we have her early in the rotation to serve a lot of times like that,” Harms said. “She moves the ball around well and places the ball well. I have confidence in her.”

The win was the first conference triumph for the Bulldogs since October 2013 when Eagle Grove was in the NCC, a sweep for H-D. It was their first win over the Lynx since Oct. 18, 2011.

“It’s pretty nice,” Miller said of the feeling.

to Grassley.

Hogg emphasized campaign finance reform during his speech. He said Americans were sick of negative TV ads controlled by Political Action Committees and believed a series of reforms were needed to fix the system.

“If we run the right campaign and unseat a 42-year incumbent, we can transform American politics with that one single act,” he said.

Weaver, the U.S. House candidate, rounded out the night. The Sheldon Democrat admitted she would face an uphill battle against King, but remained unfazed.

“If we work together instead of separately, we can accomplish great things,” she said.

Weaver’s speech touched on health care for the elderly and student loans. She supported the federal loan program and believed it was important to ease the debt burden for America’s students.

“We’ve given billionaires plenty of breaks,” she said. “It’s time for us to get a break.”

Weaver encouraged the audience to support her campaign through grassroots efforts and hard work.

“People ask how I’m going to beat Steve King. I tell them that I won’t, but we will,” she said. “It’s going to take a village to elect a woman from the Fourth District.”

U.S. Senate candidate Tom Fiegen discussed his progressive ideas for America Monday night. U.S. House candidate Kim Weaver also delivered a speech. NICK PEDLEY/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

“Look where they get their money, because we’ve got too many Democrats that are wolves wearing sheep’s wool,” he said. “Make sure they’re real Democrats.”

Krause took the spotlight next.

He said Grassley “doesn’t work anymore,” and criticized the longtime senator’s record on gender equality, student loan debt and low-wage earners.

Krause advocated raising the minimum wage to alleviate education gaps among the nation’s youth.

He pointed to data indicating that children in poverty have lower academic achievement than their peers, which he felt was unacceptable.

“When we fail to raise the minimum wage, we are eating our generational seed corn,” he said.

Krause, a veteran advocate and former legislator, believed everyone deserved an “equal handshake” from the federal government no matter their race, gender or class status.

“People deserve a fair shake and a hand up, not a handout,” he said.

Rounding out the lineup of U.S. Senate candidates was Hogg, who officially announced his candidacy on Tuesday. The current Iowa State Senator believed Washington was broken and needed an outsider’s perspective to fix it.

“I don’t think a 42-year incumbent can do that,” he said, referring

Parker intends to apply for another DNR grant this year. The money is collected from fishing license fees and distributed to projects aimed at improving fishing habitat.

Parker said there’s plenty of areas in Franklin County that could use some help.

“I just have to decide where.

We’ve got so many areas that need attention,” he said. “It’s pretty neat that when you buy a fishing license, you’re actually funding better fishing in the future.”

Lambertsen Excavating also removed trees near the bank to open up the area around Hartgrave Creek.

Franklin County Conservation intends to plant native prairie grasses in the clearing, which will make the area an attractive draw for anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts, according to Parker.

“That’s what the grant’s all about,” he said. “I want to make sure people are going to benefit with good fishing in the future. That was the goal.”

These aerial photos from 1950, top, and 2014, bottom, show how much erosion has affected Hartgrave Creek over the years.
