moved the interior plaster and completed other work, but new measurements found the bulge and masonry work was worse than engineers had originally anticipated. Renovation work was halted and alternative plans were sought. Wolf brainstormed multiple options with his colleagues before settling on reconstruction. He acknowledged that some of the library’s historic character will be lost by rebuilding the wall, but he believed it was the only option. “That’s been on our mind since Day 1 of this project – to preserve this unique historical building in your downtown,” he said. “But there comes a point when that structural integrity is beyond the level of preservation. In my opinion, it is beyond that point.” The wall’s bulge was originally discovered more than two years ago when a crew was gathering preliminary measurements for a window replacement project.

Passing the torch • Ms. Nina sells business to former student BY NICK PEDLEY The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree for local dance instructor Nina Esslinger. This spring, Esslinger sold Ms. Nina’s Dance Center to former student Summer Jo (Pearson) Schmidt. The transition will close out Esslinger’s storied career in dance, which began decades ago when she was a child growing up in the Philippines. “Leaving it will be hard,” she said. “I think there will be a point where I really miss it.” Esslinger came to the United States in 1970 on a scholarship to study at the National Ballet School in Washington, D.C. She later moved to the Sheffield area after marrying her husband, Joel, and opened her first studio in 1976. Esslinger has inf luenced numerous students throughout her career. Schmidt, who studied under Esslinger while growing up in Hampton, felt her mentor’s legacy would live on despite her impending retirement. “She’s still very much a part of it,” said Schmidt, who renamed the business Ms. Nina Presents: Summer Jo’s Dance Academy. “It’s her legacy and I want to keep her attached to that. She’s sort of a fixture in the community.”

New sewage plant inching towards finish line in Hampton BY NICK PEDLEY Project officials are optimistic construction work at Hampton’s new wastewater treatment plant will wrap up ahead of its September deadline. Engineer Tom Madden met with the Hampton City Council last Thursday to discuss the $8.4 million project and explain recent expenses. Despite previous concerns, Madden said progress at the facility this spring has given him no reason to worry about future deadlines. “It’s going really well,” he said. “Right now, everything looks great timing-wise. I have no concerns about it.” See COUNCIL: Page 2

• Engineer: Curved wall ‘beyond the point of salvaging’ BY NICK PEDLEY The Hampton Public Library’s curved brick wall will have to be torn down and rebuilt following a recent discovery that froze ongoing renovations at the historic building. Engineers have determined that a bulge in the wall is structurally unsound, making plans to reinforce it unfeasible. Officials had originally hoped to keep the wall in tact and preserve its historic integrity, however, those plans will most likely get scrapped in favor of complete reconstruction. The new proposal will cost around $91,000 in additional costs, according to engineer Ben Wolf. The original restoration project was priced at $136,000. “I really dug deep and evaluated every option we could think of,” Wolf said at last Thursday’s Hampton City Council meeting. “The degree of stress and deterioration that’s been ongoing in this [wall] is just beyond the point of salvaging it.” Restoration work began in February. Adams Concrete and Construction re-

BY NICK PEDLEY Declining enrollment and low state funding have local school districts tightening their belts as they look towards the 2016-17 school year. Two of Franklin County’s four main school districts recently approved budgets that increase property taxes next year. Despite the hikes, the schools won’t be living lavishly. The new money will simply allow each district to operate normally without cutting classroom offerings for students. “We just do not have enough kids to generate the revenue needed to operate a school, even at our level,” said CAL Superintendent Steve Lane. “For the past five years, the Legislature has not come close to keeping pace with what is needed to properly fund education, and there is no will to do so.”

King Construction has recently ramped up work on pipelines leading from the old wastewater plant to the new site. Officials were worried pipe work could potentially delay the project, however, Madden said workers have made significant progress this spring. He also noted work at the plant, laboratory and other buildings was going well. Minnesota-based Wapasha Construction has already completed a majority of the facility located southeast of Hampton. “Everything looks really good with that schedule,” Madden said. Following the progress update, the council approved a $131,000 pay request for recent work at the facility. Once operational, the new wastewater treatment plant will replace the old one, which is nearing the end of its lifespan. In other business, the council heard concerns from Hampton citizen Myron Card about the three-way intersection at 12th Avenue Northwest and First Street Northwest near

Some lawmakers have said it was all the state could afford, but education officials have accused the Legislature of bleeding rural schools dry as enrollment declines and operating costs climb. Both AGWSR and CAL raised their property tax levies for next year. The increase at CAL will help make up for a levy decrease last year, while AGWSR hopes to replenish its reserve funds that were spent in recent years, according to Superintendent Marty Jimmerson. “We’ve been fortunate enough to maintain programs, but if this underfunding continues, it will have a negative impact on every district in the state,” he said. “The state has put us between a rock and hard place and continues to pile on more rocks with the inadequate funding.” Though Hampton-Dumont and West Fork reduced their levies next year, the districts weren’t immune from the same problems affecting their neighbors. Unfunded mandates and increased student needs have continued to strain their budgets in the face of reduced state funding. “We are trying to do our best to maintain programs and class offerings,” said West Fork Superintendent Darrin Strike. “The challenge comes when you have to choose between what you believe in your heart is best for the kids and what the district can afford.” West Fork’s 82-cent levy drop was attributed to two factors: The

Engineers believed the wall could be saved by installing new steel beams to support the added stress, however, the extent of the problem was partially covered up by the plaster, Wolf explained. “Given the condition, given everything we’re finding…I’m no longer comfortable with our original design,” he said. Officials expressed concerns about the added cost to the project. Mayor Brook Boehmler said there wasn’t an extra $91,000 in this year’s budget, and wondered how the city would help pay for the new wall. Boehmler said it was “a great time to re-evaluate everything” and gather input on how to trim the price tag. He believed the library officials should be heavily involved in developing plans as the reconstruction project moves forward. “We’re not going to put vinyl siding on the side of it, but I think we need to think about the costs,” Boehmler said. “We love that building, and I think everyone up here would agree that it’s a phenomenal structure for our community. We don’t want a lot of changes, but also, we’re in charge of taxpayers’ money.” Library Director Kim Manning was disappointed in the news, but believed the Hampton community would pull together to help out. She planned to discuss options at upcoming meetings with the Hampton Public Library Board and Hampton Public Library Foundation. “If you’re going to fix it, you might as well fix it right,” she said. “I think between the foundation, city and library board, we can all come together and brainstorm ideas to figure out all that’s needed.” The Hampton Public Library is 111 years old. Local residents won’t notice much of a difference once the new wall is finished, according to

- MARTY JIMMERSON bond on the high school was recently paid off, and the district is refunding taxpayers for an error in the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy by reducing the amount over the next two years. Despite the decline, Strike said the district still grapples with maintaining the status quo in today’s tough budget climate. He believed Iowa was falling behind other states in education funding by failing to keep pace with per pupil spending. “The district needs to work at maintaining a strong enrollment and the state simply needs to realize that 4 percent annual increases need to be the norm and not a unique occurrence,” he said. H-D Superintendent Todd Lettow said the Legislature wasn’t doing schools any favors by delaying action on education funding each year.

The state has put us between a rock and hard place and continues to pile on more rocks with the inadequate funding.

For the past two years, the House and Senate have remained split on education funding, which has forced schools to plan budgets without actually knowing how much they’re getting from the state. Lettow believed earlier decisions by the Legislature would translate to better budgeting strategies for local school boards. “Perhaps time would be better spent figuring out what is needed for our students and developing a plan to get there as opposed to bickering over how to divvy up the limited new funds that are available each year,” he said. For now, local schools will have to roll with the punches. Smaller districts like CAL have been forced to dip into reserve funds to make up for declining enrollment and low state funding each year, which Lane acknowledged was unsustainable. However, he didn’t expect relief from the state anytime soon. He said the Legislature has “drastically underfunded K-12 education” and expected more of the same in the years ahead. “We will continue to be forced to raise taxes to make up for what the state refuses to fund,” Lane said. “I personally think the Legislature thinks they gave us a tremendous gift of 2.25 percent [this year]. I doubt if we will even see that much next year, no matter what the Revenue Estimating Conference recommends.”

Council Member Jesse Mollenbeck proposed utilizing a rollout stop sign during school hours to address Card’s concerns. The city will discuss the matter at future workshops.

Illegal Hampton immigrant sentenced to prison for firearm possession An illegal immigrant who possessed a firearm was sentenced April 11 to one year in federal prison. Rufino Rolon-Polo, 36, a Mexico citizen living in Hampton, received the prison sentence after a Dec. 29, 2015, guilty plea to one count of Possession of a Firearm By an Alien Unlawfully in the United States. According to a news release, the evidence showed that on Nov. 1, 2015, Rolon-Polo was seen firing a gun in an alley in Hampton. The next day, he was interviewed by officers from the Hampton Police Department and gave consent to search his apartment. During the search, officers found a stolen .22 caliber revolver in Rolon-Polo’s dresser. Rolon-Polo later admitted he was a citizen of Mexico and was illegally living in the United States.

Local entrepreneurs can win up to $28,000 in the Open 4 Business competition sponsored by Main Street Iowa. CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Main Street competition offers $28,000 for innovative business plans BY NICK PEDLEY Ambitious Hampton entrepreneurs have a shot at winning $28,000 thanks to a competition sponsored by Main Street Iowa. The contest, called Open 4 Business, is designed to provide additional support and resources for designated Main Street Iowa districts like the one in Hampton. The competition allows local shops, restaurants and other companies to create a plan detailing how they would use the award money. Regional winners will receive $8,000 and the state winner gets $20,000. Nobody from Hampton participated in the Open 4 Business contest in 2015, but Chamber Director Newton Grotzinger hopes that will change this year. “This could be for a new start-up venture or an existing business,” he

explained. “If they’ve got something in mind they’d like to do, this is the time to do it. Why not take an extra $28,000?” Like ABC’s hit show “Shark Tank,” businesses will be required to make a sales pitch about their idea to a panel of local judges. Only one winner can be picked to represent Hampton in the sub-state competition. “They need to be prepared, and I think that’s the best way to do it,” Grotzinger said. “I’m really hoping someone steps forward this year.” Open 4 Business stresses creativity. Grotzinger said Hampton business owners will have to stand out and promote their vision when competing at the regional event. “It helps if they’re filling a gap or need in the downtown district,” he explained. “There’s a few open

storefronts here, so if someone has an idea for one of those it’s a good time to come forward.” Businesses must be located within the designated Main Street district to be eligible for the competition. Entries will be judged on business concept, competitive advantage, market/sales, contest plans and community impact. The local competition deadline is May 20, with a local competition set for the week of May 23. Participants at the regional and state levels must have a 25 percent match for the award money in order to participate. Contact Grotzinger at (641) 4565668 for more information. “I’d hate to see money left on the table,” he said. “Anything we can do to improve or recruit new businesses downtown, that’s what we’re trying to do.”

Fitz estate files wrongful death lawsuit BY NICK PEDLEY The father of an Iowa Falls man who was killed two years ago in a standoff with police is suing multiple government agencies in a wrongful death lawsuit. Charles Fitz alleges the City of Iowa Falls, Iowa Department of Public Safety, Hardin County and six officers wrongfully killed his son, Leighton, in April 2014. He is seeking damages including funeral and burial expenses, present worth of Leighton Fitz’s estate, mental pain and suffering, and loss of support and consortium on behalf of Leighton Fitz’s children and father. Fitz was 25 when he died. He attended school at CAL and was buried in the Hampton City Cemetery, according to his obituary. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of the following: negligence, Leighton Fitz recklessness and/or unlawful conduct; violation of constitutional rights; battery; negligent training and/or supervision; and wrongful death. Fitz was gunned down April 17, 2014, following an

armed standoff with regional law enforcement agencies after he became suicidal. Five officers fired their weapons after Fitz allegedly reached for a handgun, killing him instantly. He was wearing a bullet-proof vest. The Iowa Attorney General’s Office previously said officers were justified to use lethal force in the standoff. However, the lawsuit contradicts that finding and alleges the officers failed to restrain Fitz by using non-lethal force. The lawsuit also claims Fitz never brandished a weapon. “The use of force against Fitz constituted homocide, as stated in the autoposy report,” the lawsuit states. The six officers named in the case include: Bryce Knudsen, Joe Metz, Jeremy Schaffer, Kyle Haack, Rod Stoner and Michael Liittschwager. Knudsen, Metz and Liittschwager were members of the Iowa Falls Police Department at the time of the incident, while Haack and Schaffer were members of the Iowa State Patrol. Stoner was a member of the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and Division of Narcotics Enforcement. Fitz’s lawsuit was filed March 30 in Hardin County District Court. The plaintiffs have requested a jury trial to decide the matter.

MISS NINA Esslinger has enjoyed watching her students grow from young children to adults over the years. She taught multiple generations of families during her 40-year career, which was a rewarding benefit to hours spent in the dance studio. “I feel close to all of them,” she said. “It’s not a business all the time. You touch a lot of lives.” Schmidt planned to build on Esslinger’s legacy in the months ahead. For now, she’ll only keep the Iowa Falls and Hampton studios open with an eye towards future expansion. She has helped operate Esslinger’s Iowa Falls studio in recent years and wanted to start small. “I’m a busy mom as it is, so I figured I will just focus on two locations by making them really nice before I add others,” she said. “There’s always a potential of reaching up north again.” Schmidt knows a thing or two about dance. She began her career at age 3 and continued to improve her skills over the years, gradually working her way into the studio as an instructor. Schmidt was humbled when Esslinger approached her about taking over the business. “As a little girl, Ms. Nina was always on this unattainable pedestal that everyone looked up to and tried to emulate,” Schmidt said. “So be-

HDHS to present one-act play, variety show this weekend BY NICK PEDLEY Young talent will take center stage April 23 during the Hampton-Dumont High School Drama Department’s spring play and variety show. The play, “Big Bad,” features multiple fairytale characters like the Big Bad Wolf, Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and many others. A group of plaintiffs have brought the Big Bad Wolf to trial in an attempt to exact justice for his past transgressions, which creates more than a few laughfilled scenes as the courtroom “drama” unfolds in the mysterious forest. “The kids have taken on positions they normally wouldn’t play, which has actually been good,” said director Tammy Morris. “When they really get into character, then good things come out.” Eight seniors and seven juniors comprise the 15-member cast. Morris said most of the students have never played animals before, which has created some funny rehearsals in the lead-up to Saturday’s performance. “They’ve really only played real people in previous productions, so it’ll be interesting for the audience to see them in their new roles,” Morris said. “It’s been fun to perform and practice.” Adding depth to the performance will be the stage set and actor makeup. This is the first play Morris has directed with an outdoor setting, and she’s had fun making it as realistic as possible. She’s also bringing in a local makeup artist to give the actors animal-like facial paint and other aesthetics. “It’s going to be really cool,” Morris said. “I think the crowd will enjoy the change of pace.” The annual variety show will be held before the one-act play. It features two vocal performances, two dance acts and three different speech productions. “It’s a well-rounded show and an opportunity for the kids to show off their many skills,” said Morris. “The kids are excited to do their own works that they’ve chosen and rehearsed.” This is the first year the two events have been combined into one night. The variety show kicks off at 7 p.m., on Saturday, April 23 inside the Church of the Living Word Auditorium. “Big Bad” will follow immediately afterward.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

Passing on progress Despite initial optimism for a productive year, the Iowa Legislature stalled on a few key topics recently as the session inched toward adjournment. Things like water quality funding and medicinal cannabis oil expansion seemed poised to fail early this week due to a lack of consensus at the Statehouse. Though many lawmakers agreed these topics needed attention this year, they couldn’t agree on how to do it. Unfortunately, it is the people of Iowa who will suffer. Expansion of medicinal cannabis oil laws received tentative bipartisan support in Des Moines for the past few years. Though the substance is allowed in Iowa for severe medical conditions, state law makes the process of obtaining and using it extremely difficult, to say the least. Opponents list a variety of concerns when explaining their reluctance, but it all seems moot when you consider the stakes. By preventing clearer laws on medicinal cannabis oil, the Legislature is preventing thousands of sick Iowans from receiving a drug that could help them with severe pain, chronic illness and other conditions.

The Legislature’s failure to agree on these issues only works to prevent progress by sidestepping action on the inevitable. Though medicinal cannabis only affects a narrow slice of the population, water quality touches everyone. Nobody – not the House, Senate or Gov. Terry Branstad – could come to terms on a plan that would generate funding for new water initiatives. That’s unfortunate, as the issue has reached a tipping point in Iowa. Making matters worse is the fact that both parties proposed plans to address the issue but failed to iron out their differences. This topic is one that should, and will, be at the forefront of the upcoming election. Iowa lawmakers should have developed a plan this year instead of waving the white flag and throwing up their hands. After all, they had plenty of options. Lawmakers could pass bills regarding water quality and medicinal cannabis oil before adjournment this year, but it’s unlikely. The Legislature’s failure to agree on these issues only works to prevent progress by sidestepping action on the inevitable. These topics will no doubt resurface next year with higher stakes and more public support. Lawmakers seem content to get out of Des Moines by passing a basic budget that does little to address some of the state’s most pressing problems. Of course, these are only two issues on a list of many others. Each Legislative session has its peaks and valleys, but 2016 seemed to flatline for three-straight months. Hopefully, our lawmakers will build on this year’s minor progress and set a progressive agenda in 2017 that addresses the state’s many concerns. Admittedly, we could be a lot worse for the wear and our problems pale in comparison to other states. However, we should not be content to stand idle. Continuing to improve our state by setting progressive targets will only improve the quality of life for those that call Iowa home.

Meet Alex With nicer weather finally here, farmers have gotten out to the fields and started planting for this year. Several legislators are farmers themselves, so they are looking forward to wrapping up session so that they can return home and get back to life on the farm. We continued work on the state budget last week and while we may not complete our work by Day 100, I continue to believe that should be our goal and have charted a path to do so. Each session, high school students from across the state are given the unique opportunity to work as pages in the Legislature. This once-in-a-lifetime experience gives students the chance to see the inner workings of state government and make connections and friendships that will last a lifetime. This year, my page was Alex Byrnes, of Osage, and in this week’s newsletter she shares her experience: “Hello, my name is Alex Byrnes and I am the Speaker’s Page for the 2016 Legislative session. Here is a summary of myself and how I was granted this opportunity to work in this beautiful Capitol. “I grew up on an acreage eight miles northwest of Osage, which is located about 20 miles from the Minnesota border. While attending Osage High School, I had the opportunity to participate in cross country, track, student council, 4-H, National Honor Society and Model U.N. I will graduate from Osage on May 22. “Living in rural Iowa, the page program is not widely known. However, because my dad is a state representative, he informed me about this opportunity. Having a chance to work in the Capitol was extra-special because my dad is retiring this year and it is also my senior year. “I have always had an interest in politics, so this was something I was really looking forward to. The page application was sent out around August and was due Oct. 9. During this time I completed the necessary requirements, which involved writing a short essay and obtaining several recommendations. After a month of waiting, I was notified that I had gotten an interview with the Iowa

Alex Byrnes, of Osage, served as Speaker Linda Upmeyer’s legislative page this year in the Iowa House. SUBMITTED PHOTO

House of Representatives Chief Clerk, Carmine Boal. A week after I visited the Capitol for my interview, I was offered a job in the House. “At page orientation in November, we had interviews for what are called office page positions, which include page positions in the Chief Clerk, Majority and Minority Leader, and Speaker’s Offices. Later that day after interviewing for several positions, Speaker Linda Upmeyer called me and told me that I would be working in her office for the upcoming session. I was ecstatic! “While working as a Speaker’s Page, I have had several day-to-day tasks. Although, some of them aren’t extremely exciting, like getting lunch for the office and writing press releases. Another one of my duties as a Speaker’s Page is to take photos of representatives when their constituents visit Des Moines. When there is a big day on the hill for various groups these can add up quickly. “However, other jobs make up for it like being Speaker Upmeyer’s right hand during debate and holding the title “Guardian of the Gavel.” Rep. Kraig Paulsen hand crafted Speaker Upmeyer’s gavel, so it is extremely important that I do not lose it. On one occasion, Rep. Byrnes (my dad) stole the gavel and hid it from me. After that, I never let the gavel out of my sight. “My favorite part about working

here at the Capitol is the people I’ve met. I have made so many connections that will last a lifetime. I have my foot in the door with many different people and I am humbled to have landed this position. At first, I was petrified and had no idea what to do but I caught on quickly and fell in love with the process. Speaker Upmeyer and the rest of the office staff have made this opportunity wonderful and I am going to miss them all so much next year when I’m at The University of Iowa. “My favorite memory this session was when Gov. Terry Branstad gave his Condition of the State address and was chatting in the Speaker’s well with Speaker Upmeyer, Senate President Pam Jochum, Lt. Gov. Reynolds and myself. Being surrounded by women, I looked up at the governor and said “Look who is in the minority now!” I am very blessed to have been granted this opportunity.” It’s truly been an honor getting to know Alex and all of the pages that have served the Legislature this year. I’m confident that the future of our state is very bright with these young people leading the way.

Iowa focuses efforts to stop human trafficking THE RAGAN REPORT

Amanda Ragan Human trafficking uses force, fraud or coercion to exploit someone for sex or labor. It is now a $150 billion industry, and it’s happening in Iowa. SF 2191, approved unanimously by the Legislature and signed into law, establishes an Office of Human Trafficking within the Department of Public Safety to oversee and effectively coordinate efforts to combat human trafficking. The office will work with government agencies and community organizations with expertise in human trafficking prevention, victim protection and assistance, law enforcement and prosecution. While awareness about the issue is growing, human trafficking has only recently been recognized as a crime by many. It’s hard to estimate the reach of human trafficking because related laws and definitions are changing quickly to address the

problem. For example, those engaged in forced prostitution or survival sex were once considered offenders but are now regarded as victims. The average age of entry into forced prostitution is 12 to 14 for girls and 11 to 13 for boys, according to the Polaris Project, a human trafficking victim advocacy organization. Many of these kids have run away from troubled homes and wind up in another horrific situation. The National Network for Runaway

Youth reports that within the first 48 hours of being on the street, one in three kids are lured into sexual exploitation, usually with the promise of shelter, food or a fictitious modeling contract.

I was in college in Oakland when Sen. Gaylord Nelson instigated Earth Day on a Wednesday in April so college students could participate to the fullest extent. They are malleable and the professors thought the cause was urgent enough that class could wait. Global cooling was the cause of the day and certainly a worthy concern. Throughout the centuries famine and civil unrest have accompanied cooler periods which, unlike today, came and went with changes in solar activity and geologic events (as opposed to human activity). Warm climatic periods have been times of bounty. On Earth Day 1970, I marched with some sort of sign, probably denouncing corporations for polluting a swamp. I lived a block away from Oakland Tech High School, where Huey Newton went before founding the Black Panther Party. The Panthers, as we affectionately called them, conducted social programs for “the community” along with their more militant and violent activities. In other words, they were a microcosm of the federal government. In a quest for social justice, the Panthers and the government are tools for those who think they know the right thing to do and think that knowledge is exclusive to their exceptional minds. The real issue surrounding Earth Day should be whether government may be used to subsidize inefficient technology in unproven quests for a perfect world. I know most people consider Earth Day as a good time to clean up or plant trees. I picked up some trash out of the road ditch yesterday, public property by the way. The problem comes when activists hijack the idea of recognizing the value of a clean environment and use it to justify trampling on the rights of others for their own utopian dreams or profits.

The real issue surrounding Earth Day should be whether government may be used to subsidize inef¿cient technology in unproven quests for a perfect world. Take Elon Musk’s Tesla as an example. I read last weekend about the new Tesla Model X. It is a seven-passenger SUV that can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. The cost is only $135,000. It qualifies for a Section 179 tax break of $25,000 because it can be used for business and has a gross vehicle weight more than 6,000 pounds. It also qualifies for a $7,500 electric vehicle federal tax credit. But now California has added a means test for their tax incentive. Hardly anyone who subsidizes Tesla can afford one of their cars and we pay for the roads as well. All these benefits go to a company that is really no more green than Volkswagen when all the costs of mining, manufacturing and electricity are added up. And our Volkswagen can go three times as far between fill-ups. When I go to buy something I make a decision as to whether that thing is worth the effort I took to make the money. That process doesn’t apply to Tesla, or wind power for that matter. The money is spent for us without our consent. Some might say, as our son did upon a visit home from college years ago, that we did consent through our vote. As Sen. Charles Grassley once told me, “I don’t know. The courts just approved it over time.” Musk, Warren Buffet and untold numbers of sly businessmen dream up threats and crises. Taxpayers gladly cough up the money to pay for a fix that never gets the job done, unless that job is lining the pockets of businessmen who make products that would never stand the test of real capitalism. I’m no longer green on the outside and red on the inside like a watermelon. I’m green through and through because I know that strict enforcement of private property rights is a better path to a clean environment. As I write this, it is tax day. When you read this it will be Earth Day. The two are more closely related than we might think.

OPINION

HAMPTON CHRONICLE • SECTION A

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer

White as a ghost This week Paramount released the first image of Scarlet Johansson as “The Major” in their upcoming adaptation of “Ghost In The Shell,” and people were shocked to discover that Johansson was, in fact, white. Outrage ensued. Let’s back up a bit. “Ghost In The Shell” is a popular Japanese franchise about Major Motoko Kusanagi, a woman in a cyberpunk future who has her consciousness transferred into a full-body prosthetic after an accident. In other words, she puts her brain in a robot body. Kusanagi is, obviously, a Japanese name for a Japanese character. Scarlet Johansson is not Japanese. Or Asian at all.

LOOKING BACK

And while racebending traditionally white characters into minorities is all the rage these days, the reaction is very different when it happens the other way around. While that seems hypocritical at first glance, it really isn’t. The whole point of racebending a character is to correct a discrepancy between the demographics of the real world and the demographics of our fiction. Sometimes the efforts even counter themselves. Are we supposed to applaud Marvel Studios for casting Tilde Swinton as The Ancient One in “Doctor Strange,” thus increasing the number of women in major roles? Or do we get upset that a character that’s supposed to be Asian is being played by a white actor? This is an issue that has come up a few times already in recent months. “Aloha” took heat for casting Emma Stone as character that was supposed to be half-Asian. The incredibly pale Rooney Mara inspired a 96,000-person petition when she was cast as Princess Tiger Lily in “Pan.” And then there’s “Gods of Egypt,” a movie that generated an immense amount of controversy for casting mostly white actors for a story set in ancient Egypt. Of course,

then minority actors saw the film and promptly said, “Ehhh, that’s OK. Maybe it was better we were passed for that one.” But is “Ghost in the Shell” really the hill to die on for this issue? Is this an argument worth having? I can see it both ways. Moving away from the identity politics for a moment, one must ask if this is an acceptable change from a purely storytelling standpoint. Will this be a faithful adaptation? Above all else, that’s supposed to be what matters. So let’s assume for a moment that the “Ghost In The Shell” movie won’t be anglicizing itself for a Western audience. For example, you might remember the Tom Cruise movie, “Edge of Tomorrow,” but probably didn’t know it was based on a Japanese novel because the name of Cruise’s character was William Cage, not Keiji Kiriya. The difference between adapting, localizing and whitewashing is a whole other can of worms, so let’s just assume that Scarlet Johansson is playing Motoko Kusanagi, not Maria Kremlin. Should we be OK with this? In this particular case, I’m willing to give it a pass. After all, Johansson isn’t technically playing an

Asian person, she’s playing a purple-haired humanoid robot with an Asian person’s brain inside. Considering a real life Hong Kong engineer is actually building a lifelike robot that looks like Johansson, you could say she is uniquely qualified for the part. If things continue along that line, odds are better than average that when full-body prosthetics become a reality, they’re going to look like Scarlet Johansson anyway. So yes, as a fan of the franchise, I can get behind Johansson in the role. However, that’s probably of little comfort to the Asian actors already struggling to find roles in Hollywood. The opportunities out there are limited, particularly for Asian-Americans who have to compete with the Hong Kong superstars we occasionally import. It seems like a terrible waste when a role comes up that’s literally made for an underrepresented demographic and it goes to a white person. It seems like a no-brainer. If Hollywood were really interested in improving representation of minorities, how could they pass up such an obvious opportunity? Unfortunately, it’s a catch-22 situation. A movie like this needs star pow-

er to get off the ground and there is literally no Asian actor in Hollywood with enough star power to do the job. Now you and I know that there are probably plenty of lower profile or even unknown actors out there perfect for the role, but the guys financing these movies aren’t willing to risk their millions of dollars hoping the quality of the movie will speak for itself. They want a big name guaranteed to put butts in seats. The fact of the matter is that without Scarlet Johansson behind it, this movie likely wouldn’t be made at all. Which means the half dozen Asian actors cast in supporting roles suddenly don’t have a movie to be in either. Which means they lose a rare opportunity to make an impression on audiences and generate the star power they’ll need to start changing things in the future. I understand the frustration in feeling like the world is taking too long to do something that obviously should be done. Is it fair? Probably not, but sometimes you should maybe just take the win where you can get it. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and is happy that at least they didn’t cast Tom Cruise.

Enchanted Forest 1.

After months of planning, late nights, and countless hours of construction, things came together for an unforgettable night of prom. H-D juniors, seniors and their dates dazzled at Prom Walk, smiled for pictures, and danced the night away. While it lasted just a few hours, it was the junior class and its parents, and Prom Central sponsor Dave Harms who made it all happen. More specifically, the group of Mikyla Marquard, Andrea Hernandez, Taylor Baltes, Gabbie Tielke, Morgan Sietsema, Brady Ringleb, Josh Freyholtz, Cassy Miller, Samuel Wragge and Bella Siems (along with other junior volunteers) who lended their time for a magical night. The Prom Central group

met mostly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but were assisted by several juniors who were not on Prom Central. Junior Class President Bella Siems explains, “What I thought was the coolest part of planning on those nights was that everyone was flexible and cooperative. Most of the people who helped were not even on the committee and they still helped out a bunch and I thank them for stepping up.” 1. The theme for the 2016 prom was The Enchanted Forest. The high school cafeteria was lined with trees and waterfalls. In the gym, a giant chandelier hung from the ceiling and beautiful lights lined the runway for Prom Walk. Students were introduced to

the public and posed for photos, giving community members a chance to see this year’s fashions. Junior class parents were in charge of Prom Walk, and they did not disappoint. After a fun night at prom, students were invited back to the gym for the Afterprom activities, also organized and set up by the junior parents. Awesome prizes were donated by businesses to the cause, and every student walked away that night with a prize. There was a hypnotist, massage therapist, mini golf, BINGO, Hungry, Hungry, Humans, just to name a few of the activities available. When all was said and done, prom went off without a hitch. None of that could have been accomplished withoutMr. Harms,

the juniors and their parents. Siems added, “Without Mr. Harms this would have been a disaster. He knew how other proms have gone and gave us guidelines for everything. I can’t thank him enough for giving ideas, filling in the holes to our plan and planning many other things.” At the prom banquet, held at the Hampton Country Club, Senior Class President Jessica Speake thanked the juniors for their time and commitment to making prom great for the seniors. “On behalf of the senior class,” she said, “I want to thank the juniors for everything they’ve done to make it a great night.” Prom 2016 is in the books, but surely will never be forgotten.

Year after year, Richmond International Raceway puts on the best short track show. Richmond’s unique, 3/4-mile layout produces tremendous side-by-side racing, yet drivers can obtain high enough speeds to give it a superspeedway feel. That rare combination allows for the beating and banging that fans always love, with the drivers’ skill playing a major role in winning. Current points leader, Kevin Harvick, finished second to Kurt Busch in last year’s race. A Ford car has won 3 of the past 6 races at Richmond.

Racing News Erin Vandyke, a longtime race fan, was bumped into by Kyle Busch’s car in the garage area at Bristol Motor Speedway. Busch was heading to the garage area after a second blown right-front tire when his #18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota made sight contact with her, briefly knocking her to the ground. Vandyke at first said she was completely fine after the incident and suffered no injuries, but she did go to the track’s infield care center afterwards, and later went to a local hospital Sunday night to be evaluated.

Siems opens with singles victory HAMPTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bella Siems started the Hampton-Dumont girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tennis season with the lone win in a girl-boy dual match against Grundy Center on Monday, April 11. Siems defeated Sydney Hogle 10-4 at No. 2 singles as H-D opted not to play its freshmen at singles to start the year in the 8-1 loss to the Spartans. It was a miserable day for tennis with a high of 45 degrees and a non-stop north wind that affected all players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been cold during tennis meets and during my time in middle school track, but that was the coldest I have (ever) been,â&#x20AC;? said girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Mark Drier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weather was brutal.â&#x20AC;? No. 1 singles player Gabby Tielke and No. 4 Shaylin Beyer both played to 10-7 singles losses to start out the season competitively. Caitlyn Freese and Beyer teamed up for a 10-7 proset loss at No. 2 doubles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to better conditions later this week,â&#x20AC;? Drier said. Drier added that he thought the freshmen, Bianca Tielke and Triston Rew, who played to a 10-4 loss at No. 3 doubles despite just trailing 4-5 and losing momentum, should be a solid No. 3 team with more experience this season.

H-D falls at Webster City triangular

Warhawks 7th at Cowboy Relays CLARION – Not running at full strength on a brutally windy day, the West Fork boys’ track team finished in the final spot in the seven-team Cowboy Relays hosted by Clarion-Goldfield on Monday, April 10. West Fork’s runner-up finishing shuttle hurdle relay was the best showing of the night. Josh Stevens’ third-place finish in the 3,200-meter run was the top individual place for coach Jeff Tudor’s squad at 11 minutes, 9.44 seconds as the Warhawks scored 29 team points. The 4x100 team also took third. Tyson Pillard placed fourth in the 110-meter hurdles (16.65). Forest City won the meet with 156 team points.

H-D girls’ golfers top West Fork

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – Hampton-Dumont senior golfer Mallory Wohlford lets everyone know what she is thinking about her golf game by reactions after shots. It was pretty evident she was happy with most of them as she was the meet medalist with a 49 in a dual against neighboring West Fork on Tuesday, April 11 at Hampton Country Club. At one point, teeing off of hole No. 6, Wohlford sank to the ground when her ball went into the water. She jumped up and down, also, on

No. 7 when she just missed a putt. “Absolutely, you can’t get down on yourself, so I try to play it kind of cool and remind myself that this is just a game,” Wohlford said. “I was super-excited. That’s the best I’ve ever done. “I think it was a combination of both (knowing the course and the conditions). With the game of golf, I think it was a lot of luck, too.” The Bulldogs as a whole had the four top scores against the Warhawks as both Morgan Sietsema and Katelyn Baltes tied for runner-up honors at 52. Rounding out team

scoring (fourth) was Monica Vondra (65). H-D shot 218 while West Fork came in at 283 with the low score from Kailey Uhde (67). “Mallory had her lowest score ever earning medalist honors,” H-D coach Carlene Bergeson said. “Katelyn Baltes finished her 9 holes with two pars to tie Morgan Sietsema with a 52 to tie for runner-up honors. “Very happy with Monica Vondra, who came in with a 65 after being out with pneumonia.” Wohlford added, “The team did great today.” The H-D JV finished only two

strokes in back of West Fork at 285 with first-year golfers Kaitlyn Hansen and Anika Miller shooting 68 and 70, respectively, in the 10-drop format. The Bulldogs improved to 2-1 on the young season. Hampton-Dumont (218) – Mallory Wohlford 49, Katelyn Baltes 52, Morgan Sietsema 52, Monica Vondra 65, Abby Fink 72, Danica Noah 83. West Fork (283) – Kailey Uhde 67, Sam Hafermann 71, Grace Shreckengost 72, Lauren Trewin 73, Sarah Retz 76, Mara Heimbuch 80.

Grefe goes 2-0 in Bulldogs’ opener HAMPTON – Jacob Grefe opened the boys’ tennis season with a 2-0 record on Monday, April 11 at Progress Park as Hampton-Dumont lost the team score. 7-2. The Hampton-Dumont junior teamed up with sophomore Augie Bollhagen at No. 3 doubles to start with a 10-7 win and then Grefe earned the lone victory at No. 5 singles at 10-8 against Grundy Center. “The extremely high, gusty winds and cold temperatures made conditions miserable and challenging for both teams,” H-D boys’ coach Jim Davies said. Although it didn’t go down as a win, the No. 1 doubles team of Spencer Clark and Nate White had a marathon match that didn’t go its way despite starting out down 0-5 in the 10 pro-set match. “The match seesawed back and forth with the H-D team getting to match point at 12-11 but could not get the job done,” Davies said. “Grundy Center’s No. 1 doubles team went on to tie and eventually win this hard-fought match.” Singles No. 1, Sage Klar (GC) def.

Area teams go 5-6 at Cadet Relays IOWA FALLS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; West Fork took fifth and CAL boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; were sixth at the seven-team Gerry Lenguadoro Cadet Relays hosted by Iowa Falls-Alden on Tuesday, April 11. Caleb Striegel of CAL won the discus with an effort of 131 feet, 1 inch, two inches shy of his personal best. The top finish for the Warhawks was Jacob Hansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runner-up finish in the 1,600 at 4 minutes, 54.80, behind Aplington-Parkersburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C.J. May (4:26.69). It was the only event Hansen competed in.

West Fork recorded 47 team points for its finish while CAL posted 25. Aplington-Parkersburg edged out host school IF-A 151-143 for the team title. Striegel also finished third in the shot put at 41-7.5 while teammate Kainan Braun crossed the finish line third in the 800-meter run. Other top finishes for West Fork were Devyn Brady, who finished third in the 200 and fourth in the 100 and some top-five finishes for its relays.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;TOUCHYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; SUBJECT Ć&#x2019; Officials unkind to coach, players in Cadet loss to GHV BY KRISTI NIXON LATIMER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With what should have been a mostly uneventful boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer match, an extremely sensitive official red carded CAL/ H-D/B-K first-year head coach Ryan Thompson for simply asking a question and issued a yellow card to a player for mildly complaining a questionable call. The Cadets were already trailing 1-0 on an own goal less than a minute into the match when keeper Cesar Damas was side tackled in the goal while trying to make a save, which led to another Garner-Hayfield-Ventura goal in an eventual 5-1 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday, April 14. Thompson, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise his voice, asked one of the officials how his keeper could be side tackled with no call and the goal be allowed, got no response from the official and then said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which elicited a red card and ejection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to show professionalism as a coach or a player,â&#x20AC;? Cadet assistant coach Rudy Lopez said after the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to keep my head a little bit more. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be talking as much out of line. I even tell my players that if you do that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a direct reflection of us, you know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But (at the same time) I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he (Thompson) was doing anything wrong. He was just asking a question. He (the official) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being asked questions, I think.â&#x20AC;? CAL/H-D/B-K faced a 4-0 deficit after allowing a goal to be scored with 14 seconds left until half, but had the wind in the second 40 minutes. During the second half, a penalty was assessed to G-H-V and on Win Metawinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ensuing penalty kick, it was ruled JosĂŠ Vallejos had crossed the penalty arc, waving off the goal Metawin had successfully struck. When Vallejos simply said to the official, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross the line, sir!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he was yellow carded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are doing their job, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see everything,â&#x20AC;? Lopez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I coach little league and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve refereed and there is a lot of stuff that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see as referees, so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold

H-D coach Carlene Bergeson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;playing with a teammate to see what they could score.â&#x20AC;?

anything against them. They are doing their job as much as they can.â&#x20AC;? Metawinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsequent try on the penalty kick was saved by GHV keeper Seth Miller, cleared away into play and sent downfield. However, Metawin, a foreign exchange student who attends B-K, got the Cadetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone goal at the 65-minute mark. Only a week previous, the Cadets lost to the Cardinals 12-3 on the road. Lopez said he felt there was a lot of strides made in a short amount of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely improved our game a lot more,â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping they get better, I mean, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sticking with this team because I like the guys and I want them to be a better team.â&#x20AC;? The team was hoping to pick up a few more players, but remain at 14 on the roster which is what it started

the season with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a short team,â&#x20AC;? Lopez admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember when I was in high school, we started the petitions so we could get the soccer program going. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping it keeps going and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have short numbers next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we can persuade more people to come out and play. It is a fun game, it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the attention it needs to get, I think.â&#x20AC;? Other than the calls, Lopez said that he thought the team needs to work on communication, among other things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep that for practice,â&#x20AC;? Lopez said.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Elmer â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chuckâ&#x20AC;? Deatsch Jr. On April 28, 2008 at approximately 9:50 p.m., Chuck Deatsch was shot and killed at his residence in rural Mystic. Authorities said the bullet that hit and killed Deatsch came from a single shot outside his home that came in through the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front window. Chuck and his wife, Liz, farmed their 700 acres together and were actively involved throughout the community. The day of his murder, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken down a fence that separated the farm ground theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d owned for years from the land where their home stood. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d owned the house for almost a year, but had lived there less than a month. After settling in for the night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chuckworking on the computer in one room and Liz reading a book in the living room â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Liz heard their dogs, Joe and Annie, barking to come in. She went to the front door and called for them in the light of the porch; Annie came in, but Joe did not. When Liz returned to the living room, Joe was at the back doorâ&#x20AC;Ś something out of the ordinary.

Still, she let the dog in and sat back down to continue reading when she heard the sound of a gunshot. She jumped up and went to the kitchen to look outside, then turned around expecting to see Chuck coming down the hall to question the noise. When moments passed and he did not come, Liz made her way to the den where she found her husband lying on the floor. Appanoose County Sheriff Gary Anderson said it appeared to be a random act. A $40,000 reward offered for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible for Deatschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death has thus far gone unclaimed. The death of Chuck Deatsch has been and continues to be investigated by the Appanoose County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation. Officials have followed up on several leads, conducted neighborhood canvasses and interviewed numerous individuals throughout the investigation.

According to the U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MyPlate nutrition guidelines, half of your plate should consist of fruits and vegetables. Because cans seal in foodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nutrition, freshness and flavor, they are one of the best ways to get more produce picked at its peak to your table. Plus, canned produce is on par nutritionally with fresh and frozen counterparts, and in some cases even better. Additionally, the canned foods in your pantry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cantryâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can be an excellent source of recipe inspiration. In a recent study, 73 percent of moms agreed that canned foods help them get healthful homemade meals on the table more often. Unlock the goodness of canned fruits and vegetables to prepare delicious dishes like Pineapple Jerk Chicken, featuring nutritious canned pineapple and protein-packed black beans, and Gazpacho with Crab, made with canned crab and lycopene-rich diced tomatoes. For more information about the benefits of canned foods, as well as recipe inspiration, visit CansGetYouCooking. com.

ANNIVERSARIES

CAL students graduate from webbased financial education program First Security Bank & Trust and educators from CAL Community Schools honored graduates from the “Vault – Understanding Money” and “Common Cent$” programs, financial education courses designed to empower young people with the essential skills needed to make sound financial decisions. First Security Bank & Trust and Iowa College Aid have partnered with education technology company EverFi, Inc., to bring this interactive, web-based financial management program to area students. Students and teachers at CAL Elementary and CAL Community High School were recognized on March 30 for their outstanding work in completing the program. The event included

remarks from bank Market President Ron Raney, Branch Office Representative Randy Bohman, and EverFi Representative Lincoln Hughes. “I hope that as these students make financial decisions in their daily lives, they think back to this experience,” Raney in news release. “First Security Bank & Trust is proud to be a partner in this quest to prepare our students for their financial futures.” The bank has partnered with EverFi to bring the program to local students at no cost to the schools or the taxpayer. The web-based program uses the latest in new media technology to bring complex financial concepts to life for today’s digital generation. “The Vault” course offers over

two hours of programming with real life simulations and a variety of financial topics including financial responsibility and decision making, income and careers, planning and money management, credit and debit, insurance and risk management along with savings and investing. The platform uniquely tracks the progress and performance of every student and provides students who successfully complete the course with certification in Financial Literacy. Several student representatives who completed the course gave speeches explaining how “The Vault” and “Common Cent$” programs helped them gain useful tools for saving and budgeting money.

Franklin General Hospital (FGH) was among the honorees when Gov. Terry E. Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and John Brown of the State Historical Society of Iowa Board of Trustees presented this year’s “Awards for Excellence in History” on April 5 in Des Moines. Through the awards program, the State Historical Society of Iowa Board of Trustees recognizes individuals, organizations and com-

munities who made outstanding contributions last year to the study and practice of Iowa history. FGH received a certificate of recognition for its Centennial history book, which was researched, compiled, written and published by a committee of local volunteers. They also presented numerous presentations and displays in the community in conjunction with the hospital’s 100th Anniversary in 2015. Funding

to help publish the book was provided by grants from the Franklin County Community Foundation and the FGH Foundation. “As many people know, I am passionate about Iowa and proud of our state’s history,” Branstad said in a news release. “So I am pleased to recognize the recipients of this year’s ‘Awards for Excellence in History’ and appreciate the dedication they have shown in preserving

and sharing the history of Iowa.” Brown agreed and thanked the groups for preserving Iowa’s history. “These awards recognize the best of Iowa history and we are pleased to present them to our honorees,” said Brown, past chair of the State Historical Society of Iowa Board of Trustees. “You are commended on this notable achievement and we are truly grateful for your contribution to the rich history of our state.”
