REPORT: Drunk driver killed former FC deputy

BY NICK PEDLEY A driver with a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit was responsible for a March accident that killed a former Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy.

According to a report released last week by the Iowa DePuente-Morales partment of Public Safety, Benjamin Beary, 25, of Knoxville, was driving approximately 102 mph in the wrong direction on I-80 when his vehicle collided with a Des Moines Police Department SUV. Toxicology reports indicated that Beary’s blood-alcohol concentration was 0.223 percent at the time of the crash, well over the legal limit of 0.08. The report also showed that Beary had recently used marijuana.

FCDA HAS HELPED NUMEROUS COMPANIES EITHER LOCATE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY OR EXPAND THEIR EXISTING FACILITIES. PROJECTS FROM THE PAST SIX YEARS ARE SHOWN ABOVE.

BY NICK PEDLEY ince its humble beginnings back in 1966, Franklin County Development Association (FCDA) has grown to become the driving force behind nearly every large-scale business project in the county.

“Economic development is a give and take process that doesn’t happen over night,” said Karen Mitchell, FCDA director. “It just boils down to finding that needle in the haystack.”

S

Mitchell would know. She’s helped steer numerous projects of varying size at FCDA during her 11-year tenure. From manufacturing companies to small mom and pop operations, FCDA’s reach runs the gambit when it comes to economic development in Franklin County.

According to Mitchell’s records, the organization got its start 50 years ago operating as the Hampton Development Corporation. A group of local businessmen joined forces to steer the new agency in hopes of stimulating economic development around Hampton. Their first major move was to purchase land near the airport, which would later become the Hampton Industrial Park and play a key role in future FCDA

activities.

The group helped attract various projects to Hampton during its first two decades of operation. It eventually turned into a non-profit organization and in 1990, changed its name to Franklin County Development Association.

The switch altered FCDA’s focus to include areas outside of Hampton and led to numerous development projects in Sheffield, Latimer, Dows and other communities.

The economic landscape has changed drastically over the years, Mitchell explained, which has led to a very competitive business environment across the state.

BY NICK PEDLEY Local tree lovers gathered at Hampton City Hall last Wednesday to learn strategies aimed at combating an invasive green beetle.

John Olds, urban forester for West Des Moines, discussed his department’s plan to stop the emerald ash borer (EAB) from destroying the city’s ash tree population. So far, only chemical pesticide injections have proven successful at protect-

ing ash trees from EAB’s relentless advance.

“Originally, I never thought [EAB] would kill every untreated ash tree, but it will,” Olds said. “It’s gonna hammer them all.”

EAB has reached 31 Iowa counties and will eventually spread across the entire state. It hasn’t been confirmed in Franklin County yet, but Olds encouraged residents to start treatment immediately if they have an ash tree they want to save.

That suggestion contrasted previous advice from state officials who believed treatment should begin only if EAB has been confirmed within 15 miles of a county.

Pork plant raises concerns for new hog confinements

DETECTING EAB • CANOPY DIEBACK – begins in the top one-third of canopy; progresses until tree is bare.

• EPICORMIC SHOOTS – sprouts begin to grow from the roots and trunk; leaves are often larger than normal.

• BARK SPLITTING – vertical fissures on bark become visible due to the formation of callous tissue underneath.

• D-SHAPED HOLES – once the emerald ash borer reaches full maturity, it exits the tree through a D-shaped hole in the bark.

• S-SHAPED FEEDING GALLERIES – larval feeding galleries underneath the bark take an S-shaped path and weave back and forth across the woodgrain.

• INCREASED WOODPECKER ACTIVITY/DAMAGE – infested trees typically see an uptick in woodpecker activity as the birds feast on EAB larvae underneath the bark.

*MORE INFORMATION ABOUT EAB CAN BE FOUND ON IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION AND OUTREACH’S WEBSITE.

BY NICK PEDLEY The CAL Community School District is searching for a new administrator following an announcement last week from 7-12 Principal/ Activities Director Scott Striegel.

Striegel, who has been with CAL since 2013, recently accepted the 7-12 principal position at Nashua-Plainfield. He will remain at CAL until mid-July to fulfill the rest of his duties before moving east later this summer.

“It was a tough decision for me and Striegel my family,” Striegel said. “We’ve done some very good things here at CAL and wanted to continue, but it’s C time to move on.” tim Striegel wears many hats at CAL. He currently serves as 7-12 principal, activities director and curriculum co-director, and also coached varsity football for two years.

BY TRAVIS FISCHER As the Prestage Foods pork processing facility nears approval, concerns continue to grow about how the area will be impacted by the project.

Even more than the issues raised by a sudden influx of new people, area residents are worried the facility will encourage pork producers to build additional hog confinements.

Once opened, it’s projected that the plant will bring in 10,000 hogs per day for processing. Prestage says it can supply 60 percent of the daily requirement and has made agreements with other suppliers to provide the rest.

Olds said pesticide treatments must be applied every two years and range in cost depending on the size of the ash tree.

“You’ve got to decide if those trees are a benefit to you,” he said.

“If they are, I would start treatment now.”

EAB is native to Asia and arrived in the United States 14 years ago.

Since then, the beetle has spread throughout the Midwest and decimated ash tree populations in many states. It’s primary mode of transportation is through firewood and other wood products like pallets.

Many cities like Hampton and Coulter are gradually phasing out old ash trees on public property in anticipation of EAB. There are more than 350 trees on public property

in Hampton alone, making treatment too costly, according to Public Works Director Doug Tarr.

The Hampton Tree Board has been charged with planting a majority of new trees at various parks in town. However, residents are responsible for ash trees on their own property.

Olds said chemical treatments are typically effective if done correctly.

Dosages are administered by drilling small holes in the tree’s trunk, injecting the pesticide and then letting the tree do the rest. Eventually, the tree transports the treatment throughout its roots, branches and leaves, killing EAB larvae and adults as they feed.

Olds was confident more efficient treatment methods would be released

soon. Currently, dosages have to be administered every two years.

“There has to be teams of chemists and scientists locked up in a lab somewhere trying to come out with the next best thing,” he said. “The potential for profit is pretty big.”

Olds likened EAB to Dutch elm disease, which killed hundreds of thousands of elm trees across the country. Every community will have to deal with EAB at some point, Olds said, and he believed it was better to be proactive by replacing trees and treating others.

“The ash borer’s population is relatively low across the state right now, but once it gets higher trees will start dying fast,” he said. “It will get every ash tree that hasn’t been treated.”

FCDA FCDA has been involved in multiple expansions at Sukup Manufacturing over the years, which created hundreds of jobs and allowed the Sheffield company to develop new lines of products.

Finding the right project can be difficult, as Franklin County can typically only support a new business with 150 jobs or less.

“It’s not always about size. It’s about dream building and future building,” Mitchell said. “You get the big ones every now and then, but there really is a tremendous satisfaction in helping just one guy get a start.”

The process of bringing new companies to Franklin County includes a tremendous amount of behind-the-scenes work. Mitchell is always marketing the county’s assets and remains low key while courting prospective businesses, which can make it appear like there’s very little development activity going on in the area.

Most times, the company doesn’t go public about its move unless it’s seeking public incentives from a city council or other government entity.

“We want to reveal their names as soon as we can, but we always go by what the prospect says and allows until it comes time for the governing bodies to make a decision,” Mitchell said.

Hurdles to economic development can prohibit growth in Franklin County. Mitchell said a limited access to railroad, skilled worker shortage and lagging internet infrastructure have concerned prospective companies in the past.

Despite drawbacks, Franklin County has many positive attributes that help bring companies to the area. Mitchell said the proximity to Interstate 35 is a huge plus for businesses that ship products across the Midwest. The county also boasts a supportive business climate with governing bodies that are willing to work with new companies, which is key to establishing a positive reputation.

“Whenever we’ve been engaged with a prospect and they pick another community, I ask them if there’s anything else we could have done to bring them here,” Mitchell explained. “It’s always just been a need that was better filled by anoth-

er county. Nobody’s every knocked us and said we were terrible or anything like that.”

Much of Mitchell’s job simply requires her to “keep beating the drum” for Franklin County. FCDA currently has many assets to market like the new Murphy Addition near the airport and Spec 4 building in the industrial park. The Latimer Business Park also has plenty of room for future growth, giving the county plenty of options to draw in companies and grow the tax base.

However, Mitchell said a slow down in the farm economy and future results of the 2016 elections could hinder immediate growth.

Nonetheless, she hoped to diversify the county’s business sector by looking for the next big thing.

“We’re going to keep doing what we’re doing and look for things that fit well as we are right now instead of reinventing ourselves,” she said.

BY NICK PEDLEY Officials at Hampton-Dumont are hoping a revamped Nostalgia concert will bring the community together for a fun night of music and dancing May 7.

The annual concert, which features bands and choirs from grades 6-12, serves as a thank you to the H-D community for its continued support of the music department.

According to band director Sara Richert, the event includes a variety of jazz music that typically isn’t performed during regular concerts.

“It’s kind of a big hodge-podge,” she said. “The only time the public gets to hear a snippet of it is at our pops concert, so we do the whole shebang for the public in May.” This year’s Nostalgia concert will emphasize crowd involvement. Because much of the music is reminiscent of the Big Band Era, audience members are encouraged to cast their inhibitions aside and dance the night away. Special dance lessons will be provided before the concert if you’re skills are a little rusty.

Richert said crowd involvement has gradually dipped over the years, and organizers want to rekindle past enthusiasm at Nostalgia.

“The generation that would dance to Big Band music isn’t really around anymore, and a lot of the parents didn’t grow up with that,” she said. “We’re hoping people go to the dance lessons and learn a few things so they can participate at the concert.”

Vocal director Jesse Bunge felt the concert was a great opportunity for the community to mingle with students and hear new music. He said the student body was excited about learning new dance moves and expected more participation this year.

“The kids appreciate seeing the community there and having that support,” he said. “They might not always express that, but they do. It’s a reward for them and they know the community is a vital part of our circle.”

Work from H-D art students will also be on display during the concert to showcase the entire fine arts program. That’s new this year, and Bunge urged local residents to check out the hard work student artists put in year round.

“There’s not a large opportunity for our art students to be showcased in the community,” he said. “It’s just really a good event to feature the kids, which is always our No. 1 priority.”

The concert will be held at Hampton-Dumont High School at 7 p.m. Dance lessons will run from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at North Side Elementary. The concert is free to the public, but donations will be accepted. A silent baked good auction will also be held.

H-D Fine Arts Boosters member Margaret Smith encouraged the community to bring their dancing shoes and show off their moves Saturday. She hoped the revamped concert would create some buzz and draw a bigger audience this year.

“It’s not about skill, it’s about having fun,” she said.

PORK PLANT

Supervisor Corey Eberling, there is very little that the county can do to restrict hog confinements. “I have two of them right in my back yard,� he said.

A smaller, non-matrix site must be a minimum of 1,250 feet from a residence. Larger matrix sites much be at least 1,875 feet away and must go through a public hearing process; however, Eberling says that the public hearing is more of a formality.

People are welcome to express their opinions at the hearing, but there is little the board of supervisors can to do stop a hog confinement that has all their paperwork in order. “The state has said if they meet the criteria, you’re supposed to pass it,� Eberling explained. “We have little to no control over the placement of these in the county.�

According to Eberling, the rules for building hog confinements are set at the state level to avoid having 99 different sets of rules for pork producers to abide by.

While legally it may be difficult for rural residents to stop a hog confinement from popping up down the road, Eberling suggested that old fashioned kindness may lead to better results. “The biggest thing is to try to be neighborly,� he said. “Sometimes we’ve seen that happen where a neighbor expresses their concerns and a developer takes that into consideration when building a site.

Some of these sites are built by young ones who have stayed in the area. I think the biggest thing is to just be neighborly and have conversations with potential neighbors.�

BY NICK PEDLEY A long agenda filled with a variety of new business items greeted the Hampton City Council last Thursday during its regular meeting.

The group opened the session with a public hearing regarding the vacation of an alley between Central Avenue West and First Avenue Southwest. According to City Manager Ron Dunt, the alley was plotted many years ago and has never been used. It lies on property owned by Rainbow Feed & Garden and currently has a building sitting on it.

No comments from the public were received during the hearing.

The council unanimously passed an ordinance vacating the alley later on in the meeting. The group also waived the second and third readings of the ordinance.

In other business, the council voted to allow Jim Meyer to graze sheep at his property located along Highway 3 near East Park. Meyer has used the animals to keep grass trimmed at the pasture in past years and plans to do the same this summer.

The council had no problems allowing Meyer to graze the sheep again this year and voted unanimously to support his request.

Next, the council authorized Dunt to purchase a 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 4WD pickup for the Hampton Fire Department. The

STRIEGEL

council had previously budgeted for the new vehicle, which will be used to combat grass fires. The fire department’s old pickup has become outdated and unreliable, according to previous discussion. “The firefighters are anxious to get it,� Dunt said.

Finally, council voted to waive all city fees and liens on a property located at 614 Third St. NE so Marvin Spangenberg can acquire the property and demolish it. The council believed waiving all fees and liens would be a good incentive to im-

Recently, Striegel was responsible for investigating the future of the middle school sports program at CAL. Low participation numbers led the school board to debate dropping the district’s sharing agreement with Hampton-Dumont in favor of Clarion-Goldfield-Dows, but the board ultimately decided to keep middle school athletics at H-D. Striegel said the decision to leave CAL “was not athletically motivated.� “I understand why the board did what they did,� he said. “They were thinking about the future and wanted to keep costs down.�

Though the decision to leave CAL was difficult for Striegel, he said he was proud of his work over the past three years. Since 2013, the school has implemented the Teacher Leadership and Compensation program, expanded professional learning communities, emphasized character development with the student body and created more academic interventions, among other things. “It’s a great school and we’ve got a lot of good things going on here with our students,� he said. “I think the smaller schools are where it’s all about education.

Investigators concluded that Beary merged onto I-80 driving westbound into the eastbound lanes of travel. According to the report, the interchange is marked appropriately with signage. “Beary’s high level of impairment resulted in him driving the wrong way,� it stated.

Puente-Morales, Farrell and Hyatt died from multiple blunt force injuries. Beary’s death was attributed

to blunt force injuries, thermal injuries and smoke inhalation.

Puente-Morales, 34, started as a part-time Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy in 2003. He was later hired full-time in 2008 and served three years until his departure for the Ottumwa Police Department.

Puente-Morales also served on the Ackley Police Department for many years.

Puente-Morales was a combat veteran, serving separate tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the Army National Guard. He had three children.

Striegel was thankful for the relationships he built with CAL faculty, Superintendent Steve Lane and the entire community. He looked forward to a new challenge at Nashua-Plainfield, but said he would always hold fond memories from his time at CAL. “I just really want to thank Mr. Lane and the people of CAL,� he said. “They made us feel welcome here and they’ve been very good to work with.�

Lane said the search for Striegel’s replacement began immediately. He will discuss options with the school board at its meeting next week. “I don’t have anything specific yet, but I want to get the board’s feedback and see if there are any ways we could possibly save the district some money,� he said.

Officials say local governments could do very little to stop new pork operations from being built once Prestage Farms opens its new plant in Mason City. PRESTAGE FARMS GRAPHIC

While the current supply of hogs should be sufficient for the facility, the economic incentive to build new hog confinements closer to the plant to cut down on transportation costs is not being ignored.

While part of the development agreement between Prestage and Mason City stipulates that the company will not accept hogs from confinements built within 2.5 miles of Mason City or Clear Lake, the rest of the surrounding communities in the area have been offered no such consideration from the Mason City City Council during negotiations with Prestage.

Moving a step up the government chain, it doesn’t appear that county supervisors will be able to ease worries about hog confinements either. According to Franklin County

A wall worth building Recent developments at the Hampton Public Library sent ripples through the community after the building’s famous curved brick wall was deemed unfixable. Ongoing renovations intended to repair a bulge in the wall were halted, and the project was left in limbo as officials scrambled to find additional funds to completely rebuild it.

The sources of new funding have remained a mystery.

The Hampton Public Library Foundation has expressed its support to cover a portion of the additional costs, but it should not be responsible for the extra $91,000 needed to rebuild the wall. The group already contributed money towards the project and has other things – like the east side courtyard addition – to worry about.

It’s important to realize the library’s impact on Hampton and surrounding area. It serves many unique roles in our ever-changing community and provides vital services to citizens both young and old.

Some members of the community believe the courtyard project should be put on the back burner so money can be diverted to rebuild the wall. That looks good on the surface, but it raises other concerns. The city has already awarded the bid for the courtyard project and could get caught in a legal bind if it tries to back out. While cost-saving measures should be investigated, it’s probably not possible to abruptly cancel courtyard construction in hopes of freeing up funds. The project has already been delayed more than two years and will be a beneficial addition to the library once completed.

With funding sources up in air, the community could be called on to help generate additional money needed for the new wall. Local residents already gave more than $50,000 to the project during a special fundraiser in 2014, which was a significant accomplishment. However, officials have remained adamant that no rainy day funds exist to help cover the unexpected costs. Another fundraiser might be necessary if the community is willing to support it.

Lost in all of this is the urgency of the wall project.

The library’s east side windows are boarded up, a plastic barrier continues to block dust from coating books inside, and the courtyard project remains on hold. Recent developments will certainly delay reconstruction efforts as additional funding is sought, however, it shouldn’t be an indefinite postponement. The library cannot be left in its current state until the end of the year – Iowa winters are simply too harsh.

Whether the city can scrape together enough money to fund the wall reconstruction project remains to be seen.

However, it’s clear all options must be explored as soon as possible. Residents may bemoan the possibility of another fundraiser, but it’s important to realize the library’s impact on Hampton and surrounding area. It serves many unique roles in our ever-changing community and provides vital services to citizens both young and old. That reality must not be ignored as city officials debate the next steps.

The library’s new wall will be an investment in Hampton’s future. It’s 110 years old and stood the test of time so far, but old buildings need help. Sometimes that means new windows or technology upgrades, but in this case it’s a wall. There’s really no choice other than to build it better than ever.

Let’s (not) get physical It’s interesting how much physical media is ingrained in our culture.

As a kid, I don’t think I was ever more excited than when I received a VHS copy of a movie I wanted.

The ability to watch a movie on a whim, unbound from the schedule of broadcast television, was among the greatest powers a kid could have.

Especially since home releases weren’t always the sure thing they are today. While the current generation enjoys regular releases of virtually every second of moving pictures that gets broadcast, back in the day there was a very real chance that if you missed something once, you risked missing it forever.

Of course if a VHS wasn’t available, you could always make one yourself. I doubt mine was the only family that bought blank VHS tapes by the six pack so they could record their favorite shows and movies.

Then came the DVD, and with it a new era of home media. Far cheaper to produce than a VHS cassette, the DVD market opened the f loodgates. This was particularly big news for television. While only a handful of TV shows received VHS releases, ludicrously expensive ones at that, DVDs offered the opportunity for studios to sell complete series at a price people could afford to buy.

And buy I did. I don’t recall the exact count before I sold most of my DVDs, but they were easily north of 500 various movies and TV series. Most of them I never watched more than once. Some I never even opened. I simply bought them on the off-chance that some absurd life circumstance would afford me the time and opportunity to binge watch a ridiculous number of bad horror movies.

Sine Die We closed out the 2016 legislative session on Friday evening after 110 days in session. Here are the remarks that I gave to the members of the 86th General Assembly as we gaveled out for the year: “Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, thank you. Thank you for your time, patience and service.

“A very special thanks to the 12 retirees this year. As you leave the Capitol today, please know all of us appreciate your commitment to Iowans in your district.

“Thank you to the House Republican Leadership team: Matt, Joel, Walt, Jarad, John and Zach – you serve our caucus well and I appreciate the help each of you provide.

“Majority Leader Hagenow: It’s a little different sitting in that seat isn’t it? I am inspired by the work you put in on behalf of your constituents and our caucus each day. The results are clear and I thank you for your leadership and friendship.

“Minority Leader Smith: Thank you for working with us when you could.

“Thank you to the leadership staff: Tony, Colin, Zach, Liddy and Terri.

“And, in my opinion, the best caucus staff in the building, the House Republican Caucus staff: Jeff, Brad, Lew, Jason, Kristi, Amanda, Carrie, Brittany, Mackenzie and Monica. Thank you for your hard work and the timely and reliable information you provide day in and day out.

“To Alex, who has sat by my side all session as the Speaker’s page, thank you for keeping me focused

DVDs, I resisted the transition into Blu-ray for as long as I could, but the ability to watch the “Lord of the Rings” extended editions in high definition was too great to pass up. I’ve bought a few other Blu-ray movies since then, mostly because I’m a sucker for a steelbook case and they look pretty on my shelves.

However, I think I am finally well and truly done with physical media.

You may remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about the upcoming live action “Ghost in the Shell” movie. Writing that column inspired me to watch the original 1995 movie.

I searched my usual streaming services to see if one offered the film and found it on YouTube.

To my surprise, I didn’t have to resort to piracy to view the film.

YouTube offered a licensed video of the movie hidden behind a paywall. For a few bucks I could rent the movie for a night. For a few bucks more I could “own” it forever.

I guess I knew YouTube had full length movies that you could rent or buy, but it’s never been something that immediately comes to mind.

The thought of exchanging money for a digital movie doesn’t particularly sit well with me. Especially since I could go to Amazon and order a Blu-ray for just a tad more and have a physical copy.

It seems like a no-brainer. You don’t own a digital copy, you merely gain permission to use it. You can’t loan it out, or sell it, or put it on display on a shelf, and you only have access to it so long as you have access to your account. If you lose your account or Google goes out of business, then you’re out of luck.

But then I thought about it a little bit more.

Yes, I could order a physical copy. It would arrive in two days, I’d have to hook up the blu-ray player and put the disk in, watch the movie in the living room, and then put it on the shelf right next to all the other Blu-ray movies I don’t watch because it’s so much easier to stream something.

At some point the pros and cons of physical media became inverted and the benefits of digital started to look a lot better. The idea of owning a physical copy of a movie doesn’t appeal nearly as much as it used to.

So instead of spending nine bucks on a Blu-ray of a movie I’ll probably watch once and then allow to collect dust, I spent eight bucks on a digital license and watched the movie immediately.

On the off chance I feel the need to watch it again, I can do so from pretty much anyplace with a wi-fi connection.

I doubt my budding digital collection will ever grow to the extent that my DVD collection did, but that’s the beauty of it. Because I can purchase a movie at the touch of a button, I’ll never need to impulse buy a DVD just in case I have time to watch it later.

The future is now.

Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and kind of misses the art of a good VHS recording.

during debate and for all of your work this year. Thank you to Ben as well, who is filling in for Alex today. All of our legislative pages have bright futures ahead.

“Chief Clerk Boal, thank you to you and your staff. The work you all do is never given the amount of appreciation it deserves. Without all of you, this place would not operate efficiently.

“Thank you to our LSA for all of your hard work. Especially the time and effort put in by each of you over these past few weeks.

“And finally, a special thank you to Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and their team for their resolve and unwavering leadership during these last two years.

“At the beginning of this session I was a bit surprised at the low expectations for the 2016 Legislature.

After all, I was optimistic that folks could come together, find common ground and do the job the hardworking taxpayers of Iowa elected each of us to do.

“If you were listening, the hardworking taxpayers of Iowa were very clear with their expectations for us. Don’t spend more than we have, keep your promises, find common ground and don’t be like Washington, D.C. I am proud to say we followed through and listened to Iowans. For the sixth consecutive year, we have held firm on our budgeting principles which have allowed us to follow through on our commitments. Iowa families and businesses abide by these same common sense principles every day, and government should be no different.

“It is always difficult in the immediate aftermath of a legislative session to have the perspective to look back and evaluate what was accomplished, but I’d like to briefly point out a couple of things.

“We continued progress made by budgeting based on common sense principles. When faced with a tough question on taxes and coupling, we put the hardworking taxpayers first.

“We invested in future jobs with the renewable chemical program.

We took on the critical issues of human trafficking and opioid addiction and abuse. We turned a conversation about justice reform into substantive policy changes.

“This chamber should always be proud of a session that results in a sound budget, good tax policy and strategic investments.

“Looking forward, we should look to reform the state’s tax code and make it more competitive with other states.

“We should give parents a choice in the education of their children and look for ways to free the hands of educators in our public schools.

“We should expand on the criminal justice reforms we achieved this year that focus efforts and resources on dangerous criminals rather than nonviolent offenders.

“We should continue to encourage innovation in our high schools and community colleges to grow a highly skilled workforce that employers can depend on for the jobs of the future.

“Finally, we should change the conversation from how much we are allowed to spend, to how much we should spend. We should value each and every dollar that the hardworking taxpayers send us each year.

“If we can build upon the successes of this session and work towards these future goals, it would be a monumental step towards making Iowa the premier place to raise a family or grow a business.

“Now, let’s return home and do what we do best. Spend time listening to our constituents, taking input and planning what the next chapter might contain.

“Thank you and God bless the State of Iowa.”

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer

I was at a stopping place and decided to go over and see what Gardiner was doing. I would have called, but we couldn’t afford phones.

In fact, a pound of hamburger was beyond reach much of the time.

Beans and rice contain all essential amino acids. A living wage in 1970 meant we were alive. It allowed us to appreciate the finer things like Ladybug Lane. Ladybug Lane was a place in the Oakland Hills that attracted ladybugs until it turned the landscape red. Maybe there were a lot of aphids there.

Bob was home and painting, as usual. We were a little like Van Gogh and Gauguin, a couple of impoverished painters. He said a couple of friends were coming down from Eugene and they were going over to The City for Chinese food, “Wanna come?” I fished through my pockets as if I didn’t know how much money I had. “Might work,” I said.

Pretty soon the Oregon guys showed up. We put all our money together and decided it was enough, so off we went. They had a car. We found a parking spot a few blocks from Chinatown. A cable car was approaching and I was the last one out of the car and missed the cable car. If I was in Hampton I would have gone to the Chinese restaurant and found my friends, but finding someone in an undesignated Chinese place in San Francisco is like shrinking government.

I wandered around North Beach and Chinatown enjoying the sights, penniless, until I ran into Tom Moy, who I had known in Santa Monica years ago. Tom was a good friend at Samohi before we moved away. He and his girlfriend were on their way to get ice cream and they bought me a hot fudge sundae. Talk about being poverty stricken and enjoying the little things!

All too soon (a familiar face was comforting) we parted ways and I headed to the Broadway onramp that led to the Bay Bridge (As it turned out, my future step-dad worked on that and the Golden Gate.

Wow. Seven hundred feet up without a harness.) There must have been a hundred people there hitchhiking. A big car pulled up and I was part of the mob that piled in.

As we crossed the Bay Bridge toward Oakland the front right passenger started mumbling something that showed panic. He tried to jump out and we pulled him in and shut the door. We tried to reassure him things were OK, but he tried it again as we headed north to Berkeley. The driver pulled over just in time so he didn’t fly out of a moving car and he ran down the side of the freeway and out of sight.

We continued on then exited and were let out on University Avenue in Berkeley. I started walking with my thumb out south to my home in Oakland. It was past midnight by then and a gigantic Buick Electra pulled over containing three black kids.

Sweet, invincible me said, “Sure!” and I hopped in. They asked if I had any dope or money and I confessed to possessing $56 that I was keeping because it was my rent money. The kid in the back seat with me pulled out a big pistol.

I never thought I’d use this phrase but, long story short, I told them I was a poor exploited proletariat like them and there were plenty of awful rich folks around who could better afford being robbed. Next thing I knew they had driven me to my house, we shook hands and I went in to go to bed.

I opened the door to my room and found the land-lady’s cat had made a disgusting mess on my bed. I curled up on a pile of laundry in the corner and went to sleep at about three in the morning.

It sure was nice of those guys to let me live and keep my $56.

Fifty Years Ago May 4, 1966 Miss Carolyn Lukensmeyer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Lukensmeyer, of Hampton, and a senior at the University of Iowa, was recently chosen outstanding coed of the year by the alumnae chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, professional journalism fraternity for women. Miss Lukensmeyer received the award at the 12th annual Matrix Table Awards banquet held in Memorial Hall at the University of Iowa. She is president of the University of Iowa senior class, a member of Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary society, a Union Board director, and a member of the Scotish Highlanders.

Mrs. Clarence Larsen, of rural Coulter, is shown here as she prepares to donate her 35th pint of blood to the Red Cross. She first gave blood in the early 1910’s in Fremont, Nebraska and since has donated 35 times. This was the third time she has donated to the Red Cross Blood Program here in Franklin county and her husband has also donated three times here.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Pratt and Kandi were Friday evening guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Miller, at Hampton.

Forty Years Ago May 4, 1976 The results were even better than expected in Hampton’s recent kindergarten round-up. The school’s summer census showed an estimated 103 new kindergarten students for the 1976-77 school year, but the round-up figures totaled 112. Superintendent James Alexander said this means the school will probably have to add another kindergarten section for next year.

Latimer’s streets are all marked with new posts and signs, thanks to the city government, and the Latimer Community Club.

The city purchased the 43 posts and signs and the community club installed them recently. Shown are Don Koch, Lloyd Muhlenbruck, the Rev. Keith Weber, Ed Dreyer, Willis Keehn and LaVerne Fahrmann. Others who helped included August Friesleben, Don Farrer, Ollie Sprau, Dean Fahrmann and Ray Erpelding.

Jeff Barkmeier and Jerry Ripperger got to feast on their creations at the Hansell Craft Day last week, in the cake decorating class. Mrs. Carl Condon, one of the class instructors, said she had as many boys as girls in the class, because the boys found out they could eat the cupcakes when they were done.

Thirty Years Ago May 8, 1986 National Honorary Society— Members of the CAL Community High School are Ann Sandersfeld, Amy Lubkeman, Sara Hackbarth, Sarah Trager, Ann Lawson, Kim Hicks, Sheryl Knudsen, Steve Ho-

nold, Jeff Larsen, Allen Arndt, Kelly Bennett, Darwin Van Horn and Kevin Wenzel.

Karen Schaefer, purchasing agent for Franklin General Hospital and an EMT with the ambulance service, has been honored with the Northeast Iowa Emergency Care award for May. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hovey and Eunice Symens of Hampton, Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Pralle and Kenneth, and Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Freie were Wednesday supper guests at the Wayne Plagge home in Latimer.

Twenty Years Ago May 2 , 1996 If you haven’t noticed the 1998 campaign for governor is already underway. That’s right. We’re already looking at the 1998 election cycle, even before we’ve completed the 1996 legislative race. When Terry Branstad announced that, if re-elected, this would be his last term as governor, it set the wheels in motion for a number of candidates to assess their chances. The most prominent of the bunch is David Oman. He has not formally announced his candidacy but he has gone so far as to open a campaign office in the Finkbine Mansion on Grand Avenue in Des Moines and has been barnstorming the state in search of support.

A family gathering and potluck dinner honoring their mother and grandmother, Mrs. Dena Kielman, of Dumont on her 96th birthday was held Sunday, April 21 in the Dumont Telephone meeting room. There were 45 members of the family who attended.

“The audience saw a lot of evergy and talent Saturday evening! Despite the last minute changes, it all came together quite well. Having speech acts and dance team be a part of the show was a fantastic way to generate school camaraderie and show the community more skills of H-D. A surprise for the audience and the students was our finale flash mob of parents, teachers, and alums. The play received many laughs from the audience. Great acting and hilarious characters made it memorable. Evidently the audience had a soft spot for the Big Bad Wolf, who was declared innocent on all counts of huffing and puffing, ingestion, and stealing sheep.�

MARKS FALL AT HAMPTON-DUMONT COED

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – Personal bests came down galore at the Hampton-Dumont Coed track & field meet held Friday night.

Throwing, hurdles and running alike, the Bulldogs did their best of the season in spite, or perhaps because of, chilly temps.

Maybe one of the most impressive of all was early on by sophomore Patty Teggatz, who also crushed the Hampton-Dumont school mark in the 3,000 in 11 minutes, 13.57 seconds.

“It is my personal best and a school record, this so exciting,” Teggatz said after the race. “That is what I’ve been aiming for years now.”

It helped that Teggatz was pushed

by Kenna Weaver of West Fork, who she had never beaten on the track previously.

“I overtook her (Weaver) about the fourth lap and I think after a little challenge, I led her the rest of the way,” Teggatz said. “She’s a really good runner. I had my dad calling out my splits and that really helped me.”

The previous mark was set by Amanda Huling in 2003 in 11:21.1.

Huling, who is an assistant coach at Charles City, was on hand to witness the mark fall.

“I couldn’t be prouder of Patty,” H-D girls’ coach Nikki Donnenwerth said. “I’ve seen her since I was the middle school coach when she was in seventh grade. I know she has been working towards it for years. A lot of things happened for it to culminate in front of the home crowd.

I’m extremely happy for her.”

Also earning personal bests Friday among the girls were Cassy Miller in the 100 hurdles and Jessica Speake in the 400 hurdles, both good for second.

Among boys’ PRs was Ben VanHorn in the 400 hurdles, a time of 57.88 seconds which eclipsed his best by almost two full seconds.

“Ben flew around the track in the 400 hurdles,” H-D boys’ coach Jordan Brass said. “We worked earlier on condition and going over the hurdles while fatigued, so it was good to see him have success doing that.”

Aidan Carr in the discus and Josh Knipfel in the shot put also had PRs. “Aidan went back to the drawing board and worked on his footwork after the last two track meets to figure out what was going wrong,” Brass said. “He came out big for us throwing his best, 142-11.”

All three boys’ bests were good enough for wins.

Knipfel, who threw 47 feet, 7.75 inches, is still gunning for 48. “(The) key is getting in more practice,” Knipfel said. “We’ve had meets every day back-to-back and I’ve not had time to practice. Everyone in our district is good, throwing around 48 to 50 feet, so I think I can get it with more practice.”

Brass added, “Josh also threw his best. He tried out a new technique with different footwork and it paid off for him.”

The boys’ shuttle hurdle relay also set a new PR in 1:03.56, which was good for third.

“The shuttle hurdle also went out breaking the 1:03 mark,” Brass said.

RIGHT: Hampton-Dumont’s Patty Teggatz takes over the lead in the fourth lap against Kenna Weaver of West Fork in the 3,000. Teggatz went on to win the event in a school record time of 11:13.57.

BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – Simply put, Tuesday, April 26 was Preston Larson’s day out on the golf course.

The West Fork senior scored a career-best one-over-par 37 to lead the Warhawks to a triangular win over Osage and Nashua-Plainfield at Ridge Stone Golf Course in Sheffield.

“By far, my best ever,” Larson said of his game that day. “My best last year was a 40 at conference at Manly.

I knew I had to get good shots, don’t hit it in the water, just make good shots and get to the point where I can chip and putt.

- PRESTON LARSON “I haven’t been doing well on this course recently, it just came together today, I guess. It was one of those days, I got lucky.”

Larson said his work on the green on the home course was the biggest key to his career-best game as West Fork shot 179 as a team, 11 strokes better than Osage, which was second at the meet.

“I was just hitting my second shots,” Larson said. “My putter was working well for me today. I had a couple long putts, the big thing was my putting.”

It was no secret out on the course that his teammates knew how well he was doing. Talk was going on that at one point he was one-under.

“I got a little nervous coming to the last hole,” Larson said of hitting it onto the green on his second shot at hole No. 8. “I knew I had to get good shots, don’t hit it in the water, just make good shots and get to the point where I can chip and putt.

“I knew once (I got it to the green) I could at least two-putt this and I got it done.”

Completing West Fork team scoring was Gunnar Myers’ 46, who was golfing in the same group as Larson, Jordan Greimann (47) and Logan Plagge (49).

Nashua-Plainfield brought up the rear at the meet with 193.

DES MOINES – AGWSR junior Nathan Karsjens competed in his first Drake Relays, throwing the discus during the Thursday, April 28 event.

Karsjens’ second attempt, 140 feet, 4 inches, was good for 16th out of 24 competitors in the field.

Throwing first in the opening f light, Karsjens improved on his seeding despite not throwing his best. Karsjens’ school record 159-0 is what earned his spot in the field.

He fouled, hitting the standard on his first attempt and also threw 1374 in his final effort, but it was shy of a solid field at Drake.

Northwood-Kensett senior Tom Yezek won the event with a throw of 181-3.

Karsjens was among only four Class 1A competitors in the field and has a chance to return in 2017.

Back-to-back duals yield same, different results for H-D girls’ tennis HAMPTON – Playing Webster City twice in three days, the Hampton-Dumont girls’ tennis team was hoping for a different result than Friday’s 6-3 loss to the Lynx.

It was different, however, it was not in the way coach Mark Drier was looking for in a 9-0 loss.

“After losing to Webster City on Friday, we were hoping to come out swinging on the home courts at Hampton,” Drier said. “Webster City had prom over the weekend and was hoping to catch them sluggish after the big weekend.”

That wasn’t the case even though H-D had some close matches, Webster City took all of them. It also was different in that the Lynx brought a little different line-up.

Shaylin Beyer held an 8-3 lead in her No. 4 singles match, but lost seven straight after some knee issues. Caitlyn Freese and Beyer also couldn’t hang on at No. 2 doubles, falling 10-8.

Webster City 9 Hampton-Dumont 0 Singles – No. 1, Courtney Lampman (WC) def. Gabby Tielke 10-6; No. 2, Rihanna Wood (WC) def. Bella Siems 10-4; No. 3, Sierra Anderson (WC) def. Caitlyn Freese 10-1; No. 4, Megan Parkhill (WC) def. Shaylin Beyer 10-8; No. 5, Emma Vansickel (WC) def. Biana Tielke 10-4.

Doubles – No. 1, Lampman-Wood (WC) def. G. Tielke-Siems 10-5; Parkhill-Mathis (WC) def. Freese-S. Beyer 10-8; No. 3, Anderson-Larson (WC) def. B. Tielke-J. Beyer 10-3.

HAMPTON – Giving up three spots – two singles and one doubles – didn’t help the cause of the Hampton-Dumont girls’ tennis team in a 9-0 loss to Aplington-Parkersburg on Friday, April 29.

With No. 1 player Gabbie Tielke out sick and the Bulldogs still giving up a No. 6 forfeit due to inexperience and injury, H-D was already down 0-3 before they began.

The closest match was at No. 2 doubles in which Caitlyn Freese and Shaylin Beyer teamed up for a 10-8 loss.

“Best chance to get on the board was No. 2 doubles,” H-D coach Mark Drier said. “Caitlyn and Shaylin were up 7-4 in their match, but ended up 10-8.”

Freese also put in her best match of the year, according to Drier, in dropping a 10-5 match at No. 3 singles.

In 2001, NASCAR and Indy Racing League announced that they would bring events to the Kansas Speedway for its inaugural racing season.

Kansas Speedway is a 1 1/2-mile track, stateof-the-art facility, which was a response to the growing interest for motorsports in the Midwest. The speedway is strategically located at the intersection of I-435 and I-70 in Kansas City, Kan., about 15 miles west of downtown Kansas City. It seats nearly 72,000 spectators in the grandstands, but will eventually expand to 150,000 upon completion of its final phase.

Racing News Tony Stewart completed just 52 laps on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway before loaning his Chevrolet to substitute driver Ty Dillon. Stewart is easing back to full-time competition after suffering a broken back in an offseason all-terrain vehicle accident.

Dillon completed the rest of the race for Stewart and wound up sixth, a big accomplishment considering there were multiple multi-car wrecks. NASCAR rules dictate that a starting driver will receive points and earnings from an event, thus making Stewart Chase-eligible with a Dillon victory. “It sucks to be honest,” Stewart said after getting out of the car. “The good news is this is last time we have to do it and I am back in next week.”

Taking control in the final three laps of Sunday’s wreck-filled GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Brad Keselowski claimed his fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory at the 2.66-mile race track and solidified his spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Choosing the top lane for a restart on Lap 186 of 188, Keselowski powered his No. 2 Team Penske Ford past Kurt Busch with two laps left and crossed the finish line as a cluster of cars wrecked behind him coming to the stripe. “We actually lost the lead and got a better run. I never thought I’d win at Talladega four times, and I’m superpumped,” said Brad after the race. In claiming the 19th victory of his career, Keselowski became the fourth two-time winner in the Sprint Cup series this season.

Chad William White Late Friday night, May 21, 1993, Chad William White was shot to death in the Corning home he shared with his fiancĂŠe, Dixie Kinser.

Dixie, whose bridal shower was scheduled for the following day, survived the attack.

According to Chad’s brother Jason, Chad and Dixie had gone out riding on Jason’s motorcycle the night of the murder. At some point while they were gone, someone entered their home and waited in the bedroom with a 20-gauge shotgun. When they got home, the person came out of their bedroom and shot

Chad in the head while he stood at the kitchen sink. Dixie screamed and turned and ran for the door. The person shot again but missed and hit the door frame. As Dixie was running out the door, he shot again and hit her in the back. She flew out and landed on the front lawn. The shooter came out the front door and ran off.

No one seemed to know whether Chad and Dixie were targeted specifically or whether the murderer simply went to the wrong address.

Reader of the Week at the Hampton Public Library is Kamie Helmke, age 6, and in the first grade.

Kamie is the daughter of Bronz and Edith Helmke and her favorite book is “Fancy Nancy” by Jane O’Connor.

Library Fun Fact: Andrew Carnegie, an avid reader for much of his life, donated approximately $5 million to the New York Public Library so it could open several branches in 1901. He also had a strong interest in peace, so he formed the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 1910. Additionally, he established the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, which is now known as Carnegie-Mellon University in 1904.

But of all the criticism Carnegie received for his philanthropic enterprises, critiques on his library program bothered him the least because he knew that no other gifts had as direct an impact upon as large a number of people as did public libraries.

Terry Fliehler, representing Landus Cooperative, had questions on a bill Landus received for water line repair and installation.

Mr. Fliehler understood the City’s position and had no further questions.

At this time, the City Council introduced Arlyn Miller, the City’s candidate for a Code Enforcement Of¿cer.

Wayne Pecha and Duane Johnson attended tonight’s meeting to request street repairs. Public Works Director, Dennis Burkett, indicated the streets in question were cored out a few years ago to prepare the streets for asphalt application. Unfortunately, the streets boiled last spring.

Because of that occurrence, the City is unable to asphalt. The Council indicated they would do dust oil applications.

Since last year’s windstorm destroyed the trees at 802 Willow Street, Tom VanDyke requested a variance to plant trees in the City’s right of way to replace those lost. Showalter moved to grant said variance. Further discussion ensued and Showalter rescinded his motion. Menken moved to table this issue and adjust our code for ¿rst reading at our May 12th meeting. Shear seconded. Roll call: Ayes-Baldwin, Reysack, Menken, Shear and Showalter; Nays-none. Motion carried.

The Butler County Community Foundation grant graciously awarded the Dumont Fire Department $7000 for masks, gear and tools and the Dumont Community Library $3000 to update their ¿re alarm. We thank them kindly for their continued consideration.

In view of the fact that the Dumont Historical Society has been administratively dissolved and there are dwindling funds, Baldwin moved to pass a corporate resolution directing all assets be transferred to the City of Dumont. Menken seconded. Motion carried, ayes all.

The Council directed the Clerk to contact Attorney Miller to prepare an ordinance changing the wording regarding allowing animals at large.

The Council will have a ¿rst reading at their May 12, 2016 City Council meeting.

Building permits approved were a deck permit at 940 McManus Street, a fence permit at 415 Second Street and a fence permit at 311 Main Street.

The Barlow Family Foundation was unable to grant the Dumont Park and Rec application to repair the garden on Main Street. They had an enormous amount of applications. Pam and Joe Angstman have Dumont roots and graciously donated $1200 to this project. We greatly appreciate their kindness.

The Council discussed Mr. Carlson’s completion dates for repairs to the house at 322 Second Street. The dates proposed are not acceptable.

Motion carried.

The Council reevaluated our legal counsel.

FAMILY FEATURES

C

inco de Mayo is, officially, a holiday celebrating Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla. In the U.S., where it is actually celebrated with more gusto than in its native country, the holiday has become a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture.

The holiday also provides a great excuse to make irresistible Mexican-inspired recipes for entertaining and, of course, a big batch of margaritas to wash it all down. Fresh sweet corn is an essential component of many Mexican dishes and a cultural staple.

Luckily, Cinco de Mayo falls right in the middle of Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunshine Sweet Corn season, meaning that the sweetest corn, available all year, arrives just in time to be a part of your Cinco de Mayo celebration.

These naturally-bred varieties are grown by a group of family farmers who are committed to producing the finest sweet corn.

Get the fiesta started with this Fire Roasted Corn and Chorizo Dip and a big bowl of tortilla chips.

Crunchy, spicy, sweet and creamy, this addictive dip

will have your guests asking for more.

Next, be sure to serve Mexican Style Corn, a truly authentic and delicious Mexican street food. Crunchy ears of fresh sweet corn are charred to perfection then slathered with a mixture of cheese and mayo, sprinkled with chili powder and squirted with lime for simple flavor perfection.

Finally, no Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without tacos. For a healthful twist on your typical taco, try this recipe for Charred Corn Tacos with Radish Zucchini Slaw that will have both vegetarians and meat eaters clamoring for seconds.

Incorporating more healthful whole foods and veggies into your Cinco de Mayo celebration this year makes it easier to justify one more margarita.

No matter what you serve at your Cinco de Mayo celebration, make sure to incorporate the sweet and wholesome flavor of fresh spring sweet corn.

Over 40 Years of Quality Service UHL – The family of Howard Uhl wants to thank family and friends for your many deeds of kindness expressed to us at the time of Howard’s declining health and upon his death. Although Howard suffered little, he is at peace.

The day before his passing, Howard expressed, “something is just not right.”

Always a positive man, that was as much as he ever complained. He was a blessing to all those around him. We are so thankful for the visits Pastor Bollhagen and Vicar Voss made at our home and nursing home. It was very comforting to have you present the day of his passing, sharing so many beautiful scripture verses and prayers. Your service for Howard was also beautiful. I can’t thank Home Health Services and VA nurses enough for their help. Howard loved his brick house. Their help made it possible for me to care for him there as long as possible. To the staff at Country View Nursing Home, thank you, for all you did in his last months. Thanks to Greg at SietsemaVogel for the guidance you gave us. We were grateful that we could use the Senior Center to enjoy time with our family after the service. Thanks to all our church families for their visits at our home. Knowing that you all cared brightened our days and made my load lighter. Thanks to Karen Tripp for her music and the Trinity ladies for serving the delicious lunch. Everything was just perfect. Last, but not least, thanks for my loving family. Words cannot express how much I appreciated all the times I asked for help and you all left your jobs and came to my rescue within minutes. God bless you all, and like Howard would say “You all have a good day now.” _______________________________________________________ c18pd
