— RANDY WESTHOFF City Manager Ron Dunt confirmed May 19 that Kwik Trip, Inc., a Wisconsin-based convenience store chain, has contacted City Hall about local zoning ordinances and other business regulations.

Dunt did not provide additional information and deferred all comments to Kwik Trip officials.

“They’ve looked into city permits, zoning and stuff like that,” Dunt said. “Right now, they’re just doing due diligence.”

A message seeking comment from Kwik Trip’s public relations department went unreturned last week.

Hampton businesswoman leads new library fundraiser

BY NICK PEDLEY A local woman is challenging the community to raise $100,000 for ongoing renovations at the Hampton Public Library.

Hampton financial agent Belen Krabbe recently announced plans to donate $1,000 for every $10,000 raised for the library wall reconstruction project. Krabbe, who is in the process of earning a philanthropy designation from American College, believed the Krabbe challenge was necessary to preserve and improve a It’s something community asset. tremendously “It’s important that something tremendously promotes important that promotes literacy in literacy in our children, our children, teenagers and teenagers and adults,” she adults. said during the May 12 BELEN KRABBE, Hampton City Hampton Council meet¿nancial agent ing. “If people cannot read, they will struggle.”

BY NICK PEDLEY With only his head and shoulders poking above the surface of corn, Latimer firefighter Brian Folkerts quickly realized how fast routine farm work could turn into a life-threatening situation.

“I can feel it heavy on my chest,” he said while his friends dug him out. “I can tell it would probably be a lot worse in a real grain bin.”

Folkerts was buried as part of a special exercise held May 18 at Landus Co-op. Local emergency personnel gathered in a corn-filled trailer to test out new grain bin rescue equipment donated to the Latimer Fire Department by Farm Credit Services of America. The session was led by training specialist Dale Ekdahl, who explained multiple emergency scenarios that are common in rural communities like Franklin County.

According to Ekdahl, the equipment has been vital in 10 successful grain bin rescues throughout the Midwest.

Hogg talks economy, immigration reform during Hampton visit • Cedar Rapids senator 1 of 4 Dems vying for Senate nomination

BY NICK PEDLEY U.S. Senate candidate Rob Hogg isn’t campaigning on a complicated platform with a wide-ranging agenda.

“I’m running on the radical idea that I’m actually going to do the job,” he said during a visit to Hampton last Wednesday. “I really want to go to Washington, D.C. and help try to make the United States Senate and the United States Congress work.”

Keeping things short and simple might be Hogg’s best option in the leadup to the June 7 primary election. He is one of four candidates vying for the Democratic nomination, and believes his positive outlook and civil political approach will eventually propel him past incumbent Sen. Chuck Grassley this November. “[Iowans] are tired of the negative garbage,” Hogg said. “I believe in the kind of politics that educates and empowers people; that builds relationships and the community.”

Hogg kicked off the Hampton stump by outlining his plans for the economy. He believed it was important to invest in America’s youth by putting them to work on various infrastructure projects and environmental improvement initiatives, specifically those that target clean water and renewable energy.

Hogg also said it was important to increase funding Democratic Senate candidate Rob Hogg for education and job traindiscussed a variety of topics ing programs. during his stop at Rustic Brew in “That’s going to cost Hampton last Wednesday. some money, but I would NICK PEDLEY/HAMPTON CHRONICLE much rather pay for that than pay the price of poverty, crime, unemployment and welfare,” he said. “If young Americans are unemployed, guess what? Nothing good is going to happen.”

Hogg likened his ideas to the public work programs of the 1930s and 1940s. He also mentioned Beeds Lake, which was built using federal dollars through the Civilian Conservation Corps.

“I believe in putting people to work,” Hogg said. “And there is no shortage of work to be done.”

Discussion soon shifted to Hogg’s stance on renewable energy sources like ethanol and other biofuels. He said he would be “the best candidate in the whole Senate for biofuels,” and believed the country needed to ween itself from fossil fuels.

Hogg also said he would support for more policies that address global warming and prevent further climate change.

“Biofuels aren’t environmentally benign, but they are far superior to the alternative, which is oil,” he said. “I believe I can educate people across the country about those benefits.”

“It’s an important thing and it does work the way it’s supposed to,” he said. “But every rescue scenario is different and there’s no one way to do it exactly right.”

The equipment consists of 10 interlocking panels that surround an entrapment victim to form a tube. Once the individual is isolated, emergency personnel enter the tube, scoop out the grain and remove the victim.

It may seem simple enough, but Ekdahl said the exercise was by no means indicative of a real-life emergency. For starters, grain bins are typically hot, loud, dusty and dark. The training exercise was everything but that, as it was held in an open area at a comfortable temperature.

“Your lives are just as much in peril as the victim’s when you enter that bin,” Ekdahl said. “Basically, you’re experiencing the exact opposite of what you’d deal with during an actual rescue.”

Ekdahl said grain can engulf

and bury a worker in less than 30 seconds. Once covered, the victim can experience up to 900 pounds of pressure on their body, making movement almost impossible.

“Ligaments and other body parts will start to tear at 300 pounds of pressure if you try to pull them out,”

Ekdahl explained. “So you’d be doing more harm than good if you tried to pull them out.”

Firefighters took turns getting buried and working the equipment.

Though the procedure was new, they quickly learned how to pound the device into the compacted grain without harming the victim.

“Whatever the situation, adapt to it,” Ekdahl said. “There are a lot of different things to think about.”

Ekdahl said most grain bin emergencies occurred on small farms.

However, they do happen at large elevators, which was not lost on Landus Co-op location Manager Jim Barsness.

“I couldn’t be more happy they got the equipment and have it right here in town,” he said. “You’d be surprised at how many accidents still happen on the commercial side of things even with all the safety regulations.”

Though the Latimer Fire Department was thankful for the equipment donation from Farm Credit Services of America, firefighters weren’t exactly eager to use it.

“I hope it sits on the top of the truck for the rest of my career,” said Assitant Chief Kyle Pralle. “Nobody ever wants to respond to a call like this.”

HAMPTON COUNCIL GOES AFTER TALL GRASS

BY NICK PEDLEY The Hampton City Council is hoping to cut the amount of overgrown yards in town by enforcing a new citation policy.

The issue took center stage during Monday night’s workshop. Public Works Director Doug Tarr said some residents habitually abuse the city’s yard ordinance, which requires grass to be six inches in length or less. Violators are given one warning before the city hires a contractor to mow the yard at the property owner’s expense.

While the rule was meant to encourage residents to keep their yards maintained, some individuals use it as a “personal mowing service.”

“I think we’re doing pretty good for the most part this year, but there’s always people who push the rules,” Tarr said.

The council discussed enforcing a three-strike policy that would allow Tarr to fine habitual violators.

If a property owner gets their yard mowed by the city more than three times in one year, they would face a $175 municipal infraction for each subsequent offense.

The idea drew favorable responses from the council.

“If someone isn’t trying to mow their yard, then I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy,” said Council Member Jim Davies.

Tarr said the city could start enforcing the rule this year. So far, 28 properties have been issued grass ordinance warnings, which is significantly lower than past years.

“I think this year we’re about set-

ting a new record,” Tarr said. “I think people are realizing they better mow or face possible expenses.”

Nonetheless, the council wanted Tarr to move forward with the increased citation policy.

“I don’t think their neighbors will mind,” said Mayor Brook Boehmler.

In other business, the council met with Eric Grote regarding a request to purchase a small tract of cityowned land adjacent to his property at 114 3rd Ave. SW. Grote would like to plant 20 fruit trees on the property to use for his jam, jelly and honey business. However, various procedural steps – like rezoning – need to occur before the city can move forward with the sale.

Grote agreed to go through the proper channels and bring the issue before the Hampton Planning and Zoning Commission. The council was receptive to his plans and welcomed the potential new business.

“I’m interested in making the city look like a better place and be a better place,” Grote said. “I think this is a way to do that.”

The council also met with Coonley Apartments owner Alicia Saldivar Conseco regarding issues at the downtown property. According to previous council discussion, overflowing dumpsters and other problems were forcing complaints from neighbors this spring.

However, Saldivar Conseco addressed all the issues over the past month, which pleased the council.

“It really looks a lot better,” said Boehmler. “It means a lot to us.”

KWIK TRIP Randy Westhoff, owner of Rainbow Feed & Garden, confirmed that Kwik Trip has contacted him about purchasing his property, which sits on Highway 3 across from Fareway. Westhoff didn’t offer additional details and also deferred comment to Kwik Trip officials.

“I think anything secret about it is out now,” he said. “Something may be in the works, but nothing is official at this point.”

Westhoff said there has been no official transaction of his property or any neighboring properties. Ron Murphy, owner of Murphy’s Plumbing and Heating located west of Rainbow Feed & Garden, also withheld comment on the matter.

According to its website, Kwik Trip operates convenience stores under many different names, including Kwik Star, Hearty Platter and Tobacco Outlet Plus. The company has more than 475 locations throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.

Locally, Kwik Trip has stores in Dumont and Mason City.

“Being successful simply is not enough,” she said. “I believe my purpose in life is to encourage people to live lives of significance, and that means encouraging people to consider how they want to be remembered.”

Library Director Kim Manning welcomed Krabbe’s challenge. She said previous community fundraisers have helped preserve Hampton’s historic assets and believed this one was no different.

Manning pointed to the many literacy programs and other services the library offers as reasons to give.

“There is no better place other than your church that you can donate your money because of all the good things we do here,” she said. “But at the heart of the library is literacy. It’s a fight that libraries always fight, and we’ve been fighting that fight for 111 years in this building.”

All money raised during Krabbe’s challenge will go towards the curved wall reconstruction project,

HOGG Hogg wrapped up the stump by outlining his plans for immigration reform. He believes America is a stronger country because of its diverse immigrant population and felt current policies needed comprehensive change.

Specifically, Hogg supports increased funding for border security and the immigration system itself.

He believes immigrants need a pathway to permanent resident status before the federal government investigates a pathway to citizenship.

He also called for better labor market analysis to identify how many immigrants the country’s workforce actually needs.

Hogg called Republicans’ stance on immigration “hot air” and criticized the party for failing to address existing problems.

“The current immigration system is broken, it doesn’t benefit anybody and Republicans aren’t fixing it,” he said. “There’s a process that we can go through to welcome people and to make America better, stronger and more prosperous if we do it right.”

Hogg, who represents the Cedar Rapids area in the Iowa Senate, admitted he had a challenging road in front of him. Nonetheless, he believed he could outlast the crowded Democratic field and defeat six-term incumbent Grassley in the general election “We’ve got a lot of work to do,” he said.

said. “But the big hurdle is that they need natural gas, a significant sewer system and a lot of water.”

Nolte also said a limited labor force could create problems, but claimed it was “nothing new” and that Franklin County “deals with it all the time.” He said the issues would be discussed further if Prestage Foods initiates another meeting.

“We just wanted to know how they operate, their employee pay, how they treat employees and what size property they need,” Nolte said.

“I guess we’ll wait and see what their response is.”

Nolte and Mitchell did not say whether any other Franklin County officials were present during the private meeting, nor would they identify who the representative from Prestage Foods was.

“Their last name was not Prestage,” Mitchell said. “We just wanted to get to know each other. There is so much information coming out of Mason City that we wanted to figure out what is true and what isn’t.”

which is expected to cost approximately $196,000. The city had originally intended to reinforce the wall after a bulge weakened its integrity, but engineers recently deemed it unfit to refurbish. The development changed plans to include complete reconstruction at an added expense.

The Hampton Public Library Foundation has pledged $50,000 to partially compensate for the extra costs. Overall, the city will now have to pay roughly $17,000 more than it originally budgeted for when the restoration bid was approved last fall.

Though Manning was excited about Krabbe’s fundraiser, she couldn’t help but show some frustration over the delayed wall project.

“We just want to get started, because time is of the essence here,” she said. “If we raise $100,000, I will let this entire community throw water balloons at me because I will be absolutely thrilled.”

However, concerns about the plant eventually led to its rejection. Critics feared the facility would pollute the environment, strain area schools with an influx of non-English speaking students and encourage more hog confinements to be built in north Iowa. Prestage Foods’ development agreement with Mason City eventually died when the city council failed to approve it, which led the company to start looking elsewhere.

“We’re not the only county they’re looking at,” said Nolte.

“That’s not a secret.”

Nolte was the only supervisor to attend the meeting with Prestage Foods last Friday. He acknowledged that hurdles like a lack of suitable infrastructure could prevent the company from seriously looking at Franklin County; however, he believed it was important to reach out and share information with the company.

“Property taxes from [Prestage Foods] alone would be around $3 million, and that’s a big plus,” Nolte

• Remember to thank your parents. They’ve helped mold you into the person you are today and deserve some recognition for their efforts. Show it to them by working hard, living a good life and remembering the lessons they taught you.

• Learn from your mistakes. There’s really no point in dwelling on your past blunders, because you’re certainly going to make many more throughout your lifetime. What’s important is to learn from those mistakes and move forward as a better, smarter person.

• Don’t be afraid to fail. If everyone lived in fear of failing, nothing would get done in life. At least when it’s over you can say you tried. You’ll be better for it, and the lessons learned from that failure will be invaluable even if it’s hard to realize immediately.

• Be kind to others. There’s really no point in being a jerk, so don’t be one.

• Remember your roots. Though some of you may be ready to leave Franklin County and never look back, it’s important to realize how lucky you were to grow up here. It’s a supportive community that only wants the best for its youth.

Remember all the friends, memories and good times you had while living here.

• Keep an open mind. Things, places, opinions and cultures will be much different once you move outside of Franklin County. That isn’t scary, but rather a chance to learn and experience new things. That’s really what life is about.

We wish our graduating seniors the best of luck in their next adventure. Keep these things in mind as you move on, but don’t be a stranger. Your family, friends, teachers, neighbors and coaches will all miss you once you’re gone, and we have a feeling you’ll miss them too.

Congratulations, Class of 2016!

Honoring the fallen Editor’s note: A portion of this editorial originally ran in the May 20, 2015 edition of the Hampton Chronicle.

Millions of Americans will gather Memorial Day to commemorate the heroes that paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting our freedoms and liberties. The holiday gives us a chance to reflect on past conflicts while showing appreciation for those who gave their lives, and we encourage you to express your gratitude by honoring these brave men and women next Monday.

People fail to realize the holiday’s true meaning far too often. Most celebrate by breaking out the grill, gathering with friends or simply kicking back and relaxing. However, it’s a day of remembrance and should be treated as such.

Memorial Day began as a somber day of tribute; a day when Americans wore poppies and placed flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes. It was a day to remember ancestors, family members and loved ones who died serving our country. But now, too many people neglect the real purpose and meaning of the day. How do we honor the 1.8 million men and women that sacrificed their life for America? How do we thank them for their brave contributions?

These are simple questions with equally simple answers.

We’re lucky to live in an area that honors the true meaning of Memorial Day with many public ceremonies and other services. By remembering our country’s fallen, we will never forget the real price of our modern day rights and liberties. Please commemorate Memorial Day by attending one of the programs planned throughout the area this weekend.

It’s the very least you can do to honor the individuals that died protecting this country.

PICK A SIDE Now that I’ve sufficiently gushed over “Captain America: Civil War,” there’s still one question that must asked.

Whose side are you on?

Spoiler Alert: I tried to keep things vague in last week’s column.

This week though, I’m getting into the nitty gritty so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, what are you waiting for?

The crux of the conflict in the movie centers around a United Nations resolution known as the Sokovia Accords, named in honor of the fictional eastern European nation that was all but destroyed in the second Avengers movie.

It seems the world governments aren’t particularly thrilled about the amount of collateral damage that the Avengers leave in their wake and give the Avengers an ultimatum, submit to UN authority and oversight or hang-up the costumes and retire.

In defense of the policy is Iron Man. It’s been a long time since Tony Stark bragged about privatizing world peace in “Iron Man 2,” and his viewpoint has dramatically changed.

Since the fall of S.H.I.E.LD. in “Captain America: Winter Soldier,” the Avengers have been running paramilitary operations across the globe, breaking who knows how many local and international laws in the process.

Make no mistake, what the Avengers do is absolutely illegal and Tony Stark is at the greatest risk of all of them. If Bill Gates put together a team of mercenaries and had them traipsing around the world getting into firefights, you can bet there would be consequences.

Tony Stark is lucky he’s American. Elsewhere in the world, independently wealthy people who finance and train soldiers in private compounds and send them out on secret missions into other countries

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer generally aren’t thought of as “heroes” by the general public.

Under that light, the basic idea of the Sokovia Accord seems fair enough. The Avengers get legal authority to do their thing, but they get their marching orders from the United Nations.

And there’s the kicker that becomes the center of the conflict.

Captain America immediately objects to the idea that a committee of people with their own political agendas will have the first and last word about when the Avengers act.

It’s pretty easy to see a scenario where the Avengers would either be prevented from taking action where they’re needed, or ordered to take action against an unworthy target.

This is a valid concern. In the real world, the United Nations Security Council is hardly known as the most effective peacekeeping force.

It’s hard to imagine that the Avengers would be allowed to investigate a half-dozen sleeping soviet super soldiers if Russia was given veto power.

It’s even worse within the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We’re talking about a world where it’s a safe bet that any political body of power has at least one member of Hydra in its midst.

And this is what makes the conflict in the movie so compelling.

Both sides have very valid points.

Iron Man is right in that the Avengers need to be held to some form of oversight. Otherwise they’re just globetrotting vigilantes.

At the same time, Captain America is right not to trust the governments of the world. A point proven by the movie’s villain, who immediately manipulates the newly legitimatized Avengers for his own purposes.

Once again, like virtually every political conflict in history, it all comes down to pragmatism vs. principle.

Iron Man is being pragmatic. He knows the Sokovia Accord is a bad deal, but the alternative is worse. If the Avengers don’t play ball, they risk alienating the world they’re trying to protect and becoming fugitives, which is exactly what happens to those on Team Cap. Captain America, on the other hand, doesn’t have time for those kind of games. He sees no point in signing the accord when he knows his team is going to inevitably disregard their orders and go rogue the first time they are told they should or shouldn’t act on something, which is exactly what Iron Man does near the end of the movie.

In the end, neither side is entirely right or entirely wrong.

In hindsight, the entire issue probably could have been avoided had Tony Stark thought to contract with world governments ahead of time.

Some futurist he turned out to be.

That said, Captain America probably would have been better off working within the system rather than against it.

Of course that would have made for a far shorter and less interesting movie.

So what do you think? Is Iron Man too authoritarian? Is Captain America too libertarian? Or do you just want to see them punch each other?

Did the recent Iowa Supreme Court decision involving the Warren County Board of Supervisors change the definition of an open meeting of a governmental body?

Editor’s note: This is a monthly column prepared by the Iowa Public Information Board to update Iowans on the IPIB’s activities and provide information on some of the issues routinely addressed by the board.

The definition of a meeting found in Iowa Code section 21.2(2) was the subject of a recent Iowa Supreme Court decision published March 18, 2016: Peg Hutchinson, Dan Johnson, Russ Nichols, Shawn Ripperger, Leigh Ann Swain, and Shelly Vander Tug vs. Douglas Schull, Steve Wilson, Dean Yordi, the Board of Supervisors for Warren County, Iowa, and Warren County, Iowa.

To determine whether a meeting occurred as defined by Iowa Code, the Iowa Supreme Court questioned whether the three-member Board of Supervisors held a statutorily defined ‘meeting’ when an administrator communicated information and opinions from one supervisor to another.

According to Iowa Code section 21.2(2), a meeting is a: “…gathering in person or by electronic means, formal or informal, of a majority of the members of a governmental body where there is deliberation or action upon any matter within the scope of the governmental body’s policy-making duties. Meetings shall not include a gathering of members of a governmental body for purely ministerial or social purposes when there is no discussion of policy or no intent to avoid the purposes of this chapter.”

In the Warren County case, the three-member board of supervisors

each met separately with the same county administrator to discuss a reorganization plan for county employees. While each individual meeting did not create a quorum of the elected supervisors, the county administrator communicated with each supervisor about the other supervisors’ opinions and how each would vote on this issue. The county administrator met individually with each of the supervisors several times to facilitate a compromise on how the reorganization would occur and which positions would be eliminated. When the supervisors finally met in an open meeting, little discussion was needed for the Board to approve eliminating the positions of eleven county employees.

The Court questioned the meaning of the phrase “a gathering in person or by electronic means, formal or informal, of a majority of the members of a governmental body” when defining a meeting. The Court questioned whether “temporal proximity” between two of the three supervisors needed to exist in order to create a majority or quorum or whether the administrator, acting as

FACTS AND FIGURES FOR APRIL 2016 AND FOR 2016 YEAR-TO-DATE: During the month of April 2016, 65 contacts were made with the Iowa Public Information Board office.

a supervisor’s agent, was the legal equivalent of the presence of a second supervisor, creating a quorum.

In answering the question of whether the administrator can legally be another supervisor’s agent, the Court considered the common law of agency to resolve the ambiguity in the statue. The Court held support staff can function as an agent or proxy to a supervisor. The Court struck down the district court opinion for not including agency principles in its legal analysis and remanded for reconsideration of the question with agency principles in mind. The Court held that supervisors using agents to deliberate on their behalf is the legal equivalent of an in-person gathering of a majority of supervisors and extended the definition of a meeting for purposes of Iowa Code section 21.2(2) to include an in-person gathering attended by a majority of supervisors, including an agent or proxy for one or more supervisors.

The decision has raised numerous questions and differing opinions concerning what the impact of the ruling will be on governmental bod-

For many, buckling up in a vehicle is second nature.

However, 9,385 people nationwide lost their lives in 2014 as a result of not buckling their seat belt. In Iowa, 118 of the 322 crash fatalities were not buckled up. It is important to note that nationally 61-percent of pickup truck fatalities were not buckled.

Iowa’s seat belt compliance rate is at 93 percent, one of the best in the nation but, still, too many of the state’s traffic fatalities are unbelted. Those are lives that could have been saved. The consequences of not buckling up are too high, don’t become a negative seat belt statistic, always buckle up!

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics show that passenger vehicle occupants are buckling up more during the day but not enough at night. The May 23-June 6 Click It or Ticket mobilization focuses on seat belt violators 24/7, but a strong enforcement effort will be made between the nighttime hours of 6 p.m.-6 a.m., due to the significant number of violators and fatal crashes during that time.

Wearing a seat belt is one of the most important steps in increasing survivability in a crash. As you travel near or far this Memorial Day, remember to buckle up in the back seat as well as in the front. Rear seat passengers are three times more likely to die in a crash if they are unbuckled. In real life we don’t get a second chance.

Be safe, be buckled!

READER OF THE WEEK

Reader of the Week at the Hampton Public Library is Elliott Zoller, age 3, and in preschool. Elliott is the son of Phil Zoller and Tabitha Brass. His favorite book is “Pete the Cat” by James Dean and Eric Litman.

Library Fun Fact: One thing that Andrew Carnegie desired of all of his libraries was that the front entrance would have a representation of rays of a rising sun, and above it “Let there be light.” Some communities – like Hampton – did not comply with this request.

Instead, “1903” was put in the center of a laurel wreath to represent the year construction was started on the library, which took two years. The grand opening to the public was held Oct. 6, 1905. ies, particularly on those with smaller memberships. To what extent could this decision stifle the ability of staff to meet with board or council members to discuss projects or proposals outside formal open meetings? Could the decision impact the ability of a governmental body to work efficiently and effectively?

In an effort to address questions and concerns about the impact of the Warren County decision, the Iowa Public Information Board is preparing to issue an advisory opinion on the issue. Anyone with comments or information on the subject is invited to contact IPIB staff at 515-725-1781 or email (ipib@iowa.gov).

Fishing report for north central Iowa The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ weekly fishing report is compiled with information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and state park staff.

For current information, contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at (641) 357-3517.

Blue Lake: Water levels in the lake are high, but fishing has been good.

Black crappie, fair. Use a jig fished under a bobber.

Largemouth bass, good. With the water levels up, there is a lot of shoreline vegetation submerged.

Concentrate on these areas with weedless lures.

Bluegill, fair.

Eldred Sherwood Lake: Largemouth bass, good. Bass continue to bite in the mornings and evenings.

Bluegil, good.

Upper Pine Lake: Largemouth bass, good. Fish the shorelines with a plastic worm or crankbait.

Clear Lake: Water temperature was in high 50s last week and is pushing into the 60s.

Channel catfish, good. Catfish are starting to use the shallows in the pockets of the cattails and rushes. Use a bobber and cut bait, worms or minnows.

Yellow bass, excellent. Yellow bass really turned on last week. Anglers are having a fairly easy time catching as many as they want. Try near the island, Dodges Point, the rocky shoreline near the outlet or Billys Reef. Use a small 1/32-ounce hair jig tipped with a small piece of minnow or crawler under a bobber or with a couple split shot on bottom.

Walleye, good. Walleye action has picked up this week with the warmer weather. North and East shore docks have been good early in the morning. Boat anglers have been trolling or staying stationary on spots around the Dodges Point reef,

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

John Wayne Jeffery John Wayne Jeffery was shot to death late Tuesday night, May 29, 1990, while sitting inside his 1970 Chevy Chevelle outside Leo’s Lounge, an east-side tavern in Des Moines.

Patrons of the lounge heard a gunshot that night, and although one person went out and spotted Jeffery inside his vehicle, didn’t realize Jeffery had been shot and assumed he was sleeping. Police weren’t notified until the following morning when the bar’s owner stopped by the tavern with some supplies and found Jeffery dead in his car.

Police found a sawed-off .410 shotgun in front of Jeffery’s car. Officials reported a shotgun shell fitting the weapon was found in Jeffery’s hand, and that other shells were found on the seat of the car. The cause of death was a small-caliber gunshot wound to the head.

Jeffery’s wife, Ruth, said her husband had had problems with alcohol and drugs but had completed a drug rehabilitation program the previous year. She said he’d been drinking Tuesday night for the first time since completing the program. Ruth’s recent hospitalization had left the family facing a financial crisis as

medical bills continued to pile up.

Ruth reported that her husband came home agitated after seeing two friends, Jeff McNeely and Tim McGreen, drinking at Leo’s. McNeely and McGreen had owed Jeffery money for over a year, and Ruth said her husband reasoned that if they had money to buy alcohol, they should be able to repay him. When he confronted the men, Ruth said they’d laughed at him. Jeffery came home and retrieved a shotgun, telling Ruth he only wanted to “scare” the two men a little.

Des Moines police picked up a material witness the day following the homicide but were unable to link him to Jeffery’s murder through ballistic tests. Investigators interviewed numerous individuals, including the men who owed Jeffery money, but were unable to make an arrest in the case. They believe there were witnesses to Jeffery’s murder who feared coming forward then with what they knew, and continue to encourage the public to contact them with any known details. There is no statute of limitations on murder.

Billy’s reef, the state reef or Dollar Dock Point. Shore fishermen have had good luck with minnows on a jig or a swimbait.

Black crappie, good. Anglers have been catching crappies on the west side of the main lake and in the little lake in the rushes. Use a small jig and cane pole and dip it in pockets, or fish the edges with a bobber and a minnow.

Muskellunge, good. Musky fishing has been better this week.

AGWSR girls’ golf team falls short BRITT – The AGWSR girls’ golf team was one team spot shy of advancing to the Class 1A regional final after competing at Britt Country Club on Monday, May 16.

Cougars scratch out pair of 1A state track & field runner-up finishes

BY KRISTI NIXON DES MOINES – One started out the meet, the other ended with a bang.

For AGWSR junior Bethany Lippert, she led for the majority of the 3,000 before finishing state runner-up in the 1A field.

It was her third appearance in the 3,000 and her second medal.

“I felt a little bit better today,” Lippert said of her run. “I was super-happy with it. First year I got seventh and last year I was 10 th, so I was happy.”

Lippert, who also finished sixth in the 1,500 on Saturday, even had a smile on her face when she crossed the finish line.

“If you ask anyone in the race the most important part is finishing,” Lippert said.

Meanwhile, on Friday afternoon junior Nathan Karsjens saved his best throw for last to earn the state runner-up finish in the discus.

Progressively, the thrower who was making his second state appearance kept recording personal bests.

He went 175 feet, 3 inches on his penultimate throw in the finals to take second overall in 1A. “It was (my best) by 16 feet,” Karsjens said. “My best throw coming in was 159-10 and that was at Eldora right after the Drake Relays, so when I threw 161-9, I thought, ‘okay, that was a good start to the day.’

You know? And then, I threw again 168 and then I ended up with 175... my mind is blown being runner-up.

Getting first place was a little out of reach, but getting second place, I’m pretty proud of myself.”

He was second to Northwood-Kensett’s Tom Yezek, the favorite, who went 197-2 to win it. But that only provided inspiration for Karsjens.

AGWSR’s Aubrie Fisher (3) runs the Class 1A 800 on Saturday, May 21 on her way to a fifth-place finish. (KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE)

“Being only a junior, it makes me want to strive even better and showcase how good I can get,” Karsjens said. “The guy (who won) threw 197, it makes me want to come back and throw 200 and maybe beat him and get the all-time record.”

Admitting nerves in his first two times in the discus ring at Drake Stadium, Karsjens said this time there was none of that.

“Not at all,” Karsjens said. “I felt excited and time to show up and show what I can do.”

Indeed he did.

But that wasn’t the only hardware AGWSR brought home over the weekend.

Caleb Meinders scored a third place spot in the shot put.

Usi ng h is second t h row, Meinders’ 52-7 effort finished behind Yezek, who was the runner-up, and champion Mason Scheidegger of Newell-Fonda.

Aubrie Fisher also collected a couple of medals, scoring fifthplace finishes in both the 800 and 1,500 on Saturday.

Fisher and Lippert teamed with

Maddie Brandt and Haley Bakker to take seventh in the 4x800 in 10:09.93.

The Cougars scored a 14th place team finish for the girls with 21 points. The boys scored 14 points for 20th.

The Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the NASCAR season, takes place this Memorial Day weekend by returning to Charlotte Motor Speedway. This speedway currently hosts two of the biggest races on the NASCAR schedule.

With cars lining up three and four-wide through 24-degree banked turns, you can bet there’s going to be a lot of excitement as 43 furious machines storm down the 1.5 mile track. Nearly 180,000 people will attend the race. Darrell Waltrip is a fivetime winner of the Coca-Cola 600 and so the inner perimeter road around the speedway was named in his honor. Last week’s winner, Joey Logano, finished 13th in last year’s race.

At the end of a wild and crazy Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Joey Logano got the upper hand in an intense battle with last-chance qualifier Kyle Larson and took home the milliondollar prize as the winner of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.

Trying to block the stronger car of Logano in the closing 13-lap final segment of the race, Larson buried his car into Turn 1 as Logano edged ahead. Larson’s No. 42 Chevrolet got loose and sailed up the track into the outside wall with less than two laps left. “I tell you, Larson is a hard racer,” Logano said. Then he added, “I watched him in the Showdown earlier today, and I knew what I was up against. I knew he was going to run hard.

What a crazy battle for a million dollars at the end.”

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Redemption comes for West Fork Warhawks

West Fork’s Cailey Weaver leads a pack around the second turn with about 200 meters to go in the 800. Weaver set a school mark to finish third in the event.

West Fork’s Lexi Jones pumps her fist after clearing 5-3 in the high jump on Friday, May 20. Jones earned a state runner-up finish with her effort.

Senior Weaver nabs third in 800, anchors 4x800 to fifth

Jones comes back for runner-up in high jump

BY KRISTI NIXON ES MOINES – Competition was all West Fork’s Lexi Jones needed to finish state runner-up in the high jump.

Jones matched her career-best with a 5 foot, 3 inch clearance to provide the best finish among many great performances for the Warhawks at the Class 1A state meet.

Coach Ashley Sears’ team finished 15th with 20 team points. Eight were by Jones with her leaping abilities getting 5-3 on her third attempt and showing emotion thereafter.

“I was close to be tears to be honest, because last year, I was a freshman and I wanted to do better than I did,” Jones said. “I didn’t do very well then and I came here thinking I needed to do better than last time and I did.

“I was hoping to get a PR of 5-4 this year, but just to make it to state and get whatever place I got it’s great. I was close to tears and I was when I got knocked out. It’s a great feeling.”

Jones’ performance a year ago was completely different as she was jumping in a different level at a different school – Clear Lake.

Asked about that, and she had to take a second to fight with her emotions then.

“It was very different,” Jones said. “I feel like last year I had less competition, even though I didn’t do very good. And then this year I had more competition and that got me really going. They really motivated me. That probably helped me a lot.

“I always love a good competition and it helps me strive toward better goals and helps me do better of what I have done and what I am capable of.”

Cailey Weaver can really run 800 meters well.

The Warhawk senior anchored West Fork to a fourth place finish in the second of three sections in the 4x800, rallying them while taking the baton with the team in seventh place.

“I thought that’s where we were going to be,” Cailey Weaver said.

“When I got the baton, I kind of went for it. I’ll take her and her (pick them off). My game plan was to go hard. Three other girls helped, it’s an experience I’ll never forget this moment.”

“I felt like all of the girls ran their hearts out and that’s all you can do.”

The Warhawks were fifth overall and ran a school record and personal best by finishing in a personal best 9:59.75.

Cailey Weaver ran the second section of the 800 on Saturday morning, finishing third overall in a personal best and school record 2:21.02.

Teammate and fellow senior Maya Rowe, who also ran on the 4x800 and finished 21st in the 1,500, said that both Weaver sisters were amazing runners.

“The Weavers, they just do everything,” Rowe said. “It was so nice. Cailey did really well in her 800. We knew she would do well, but that 2:21 was so good, that helped out a lot.”

Freshman makes comeback Crossing the finish line with a medal and a PR was the redemption Kenna Weaver needed.

After pulling out of Thursday’s 3,000-meter run, the West Fork freshman earned her second medal of the weekend, the first all to herself on Saturday in the 1,500.

“I am happy I came back after that mess,” Kenna Weaver said. “I felt the need to do what I did today because I wanted to pass that finish line, but I’m happy with it and how it turned out. I ran a 5:03, which is a PR, that is all I can really ask for.”

She fell down about a little more than two laps into the first, longer race, got back up but withdrew

Painful run for Hansen who is ready to heal Suffering from periostitis, a painful condition that affects the tissue layer surrounding the tibia and fibula, Jacob Hansen suffered through a painful 1,600 to finish 20th on Saturday afternoon.

“My leg hurts really bad right now,” Hansen said. “I should have stopped; but I guess I just didn’t expect too much out of the race because I hadn’t really ran for two weeks besides districts...I was just happy to get to run in one event today, I guess now it is time to recover and get my leg healed up for cross country season.”

At the district meet, Hansen withdrew mid-race in the 3,200 and came back to run the 800 which he didn’t qualify for like he had a year ago, but did in the 1,600 – his only state race.

A

“It started coming on at the Nashua meet (in March),” Hansen said. “I put on compressions and it didn’t hurt as bad after that. But at the end of the week, I was trying to do a workout, I did the warm-up for it and that was it.

“I gave it a weekend to heal, but I ran really bad at a couple of meets and then at Belmond I had to drop out of that race because it ended up hurting and I was limping way too much. I’ve had to deal with it all season. It was frustrating because we went out to Vegas to get some therapy on it from a guy who helped Reese (Halloran) with his (ailment). We thought at first it was compartment syndrome, but it wouldn’t heal.”

Hansen started the 1,600 visibly limping and second to last. He picked off a couple of runners and finished in 4:52.88.

“It is frustrating because I ran 4:39 in the first race of the year and that was just after a couple of workouts,” Hansen said. “I just came off of wrestling season on that and I was the fastest time in the state for about three weeks until about mid-April.”

Hansen vowed to heal over the summer in order to get ready for cross country and wrestling seasons for his senior year.

“It was a painful race,” Hansen said. “I was...I can’t really say I’m happy with the finish and time and all, but what can you do? I was just happy to get a run at the Drake Stadium this year. I didn’t know if I was going to be able to.

“I was happy for some of the others on our team: the girls’ 4x800 to get fifth – I know they wanted to win it, too, but not every day is your day.”

RUNNING WITH THE BIG BEARS

ƒ CAL/H-D/B-K fight, but fall to Class 3A Des Moines North

BY KRISTI NIXON LATIMER – The third-year CAL/H-D/B-K boys’ soccer program took on a large task – literally – when it took on Class 3A Des Moines North (14-6) on Tuesday, May 17.

Even though the effort was there all match long, the result was definitely not what the 2-10 Cadets wanted against the Polar Bears in a 10-0 loss.

“They are a good team – they are quality,” Cadet coach Ryan Thompson said after the match, “and they have a lot of big guys, a lot of numbers – good players all around. It seemed like they would put in a sub and the sub is just as good as the guy who came off so it’s hard just to compete with teams like that.

“Especially when we have low numbers and a smaller team; that’s just the way it works sometimes.”

Since the season started for the Cadets, a few more numbers were added to the roster, but as it stood against North, CAL/ H-D/B-K had only two players on the sideline at any one time throughout the match.

And all 13 players saw plenty of action in the 80 minutes.

“We played well as a team today,” Thompson said. “A lot better than we have in the past, so that is a step in the right direction. Obviously, you don’t want to lose 10-0, but it does happen once in a while. We have just got to bounce back.”

The Cadets attempted two shots, both saved by North goalkeeper Carlos Nabor, who also looked like a quality player even though he didn’t have to make many save attempts.

North had four goals

from Martin Rodriguez and two each from Afare Ibrahim and Lawrence Solo. Kipendo Musa and Rodriguez were both credited with four assists.

Hampton-Dumont freshman Miguel Leyva-Moor, who came out after the Cadets’ second loss to G-HV and has been in goal since then, was pelted with shots by North’s forwards. He made five saves and got some good help from the Cadet defense, but the Polar Bears proved hard to stop.

Leyva-Moor took over in goal for Cesar Damas.

He wanted to come out and “He play,” Thompson said of Leyva-Moor, “so he’s comfortable in goal, and I think Cesar (Damas) is great in goal, but

he’s an even better field player and he helps out a lot in the field and that is something we need.

“He (Cesar) gives a positive vibe and is one of our captains and having him out on the field alongside his brother (Luis) definitely helps, the hard work goes up and they definitely push people. It makes it easier on me to have those two guys out there. They work hard out there.”

I think Cesar (Damas) is great in goal, but he’s an even better ¿eld player and he helps out a lot in the ¿eld and that is something we need.

Making the most of the first time

BY KRISTI NIXON DES MOINES – There has to be a first time for everything.

Even though both Nadilee Eiklenborg and Patty Teggatz have some state meet experience, the Hampton-Dumont girls’ track and field team members were competing in different events this past week.

Eiklenborg, who was an alternate as a freshman and ran on the shuttle hurdle relay in 2015, experienced her first state long jump on Thursday, May 19.

“It’s a good experience, but I guess I didn’t jump my best,” Eiklenborg said. “I was nervous, my first time jumping here. I made it with the shuttle hurdle here last year and that didn’t go so well.”

Eiklenborg’s best was 15 feet, 5.75 inches, which was good for 19th overall.

“Since I was doing the long jump and I’d never done it before here,” Eiklenborg said, “I hope to come back next year and make it all four years.”

Teggatz, a sophomore distance runner, came back from a 1,500-meter performance her freshman year to run 20 th in her first run in the 3,000.

She ran 11:45.80 to finish 20th out of 24.

Meanwhile, senior Aidan Carr used his first attempt to go all out in his first and last state meet experience.

He threw 136-11 officially to post 18th place after fouling on his next two attempts, which went out of bounds.

“That felt pretty good,” Carr said of getting off his first throw. “The second and third, I had already made a deal with myself and the coaches that I was going to let them loose after I got one inbounds. I figured, last meet, why not try and put everything I had on it? I just tried a little too hard and got too focused on putting the strength on it.”

As the only male member of the H-D track and field team to make the trip, he had a big crowd in Des Moines to support him, including teammates and a friend from another school.

It was a nice note to end his high school career on as the thrower will take his talents to the University of Dubuque.

“It was great,” Carr said. “I mean, I couldn’t have ever imagined of competing at state when I walked in my freshman year and just to finish my career state and get a throw in inbounds for one of them at least, it felt awesome.”

CAL duo compete at state DES MOINES – Kainan Braun knows exactly what he wants to do next year on the blue oval.

The CAL junior competed in the first of three sections of the open 400 on Thursday, May 19 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, clocking at 53.22 seconds to finish 19th out of 24 in the Class 1A field.

“It’s a great pleasure that not only me but two people, Caleb Striegel made it, too,” Braun said. “It just shows that we can work hard, too, and can represent our school, work hard and compete.

“I was very nervous and excited, too. Next year I’m not going to be as nervous. I’ll do better.”

Also competing in the discus, Striegel, a senior, went 127 feet, 2 inches to finish 22nd. The top eight advance to the final.

Braun, who was fifth in his section, said he felt good about his start.

“I felt good until about 350 and then I started to fade a little bit,” Braun said. “The competition was hard to beat, so it made me push all that much harder. I wanted to push myself and glad I got here. Obviously, I want to make it to state next year and hopefully get in the final, that’s my goal.”

Franklin General Hospital (FGH) is alerting area Medicare beneficiaries that more than 28,000 Iowa Medicare beneficiaries will receive a letter this week from the Social Security Administration (SSA) about help with their out-of-pocket medical and drug expenses.

The State of Iowa’s Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) encourages beneficiaries who receive these letters to contact SHIIP to learn how they can potentially save hundreds of dollars through the Medicare Savings Program (MSP) and Part D Extra Help. The letters are sent annually to people on Medicare with limited incomes who could be eligible for – but are not enrolled – in these programs.

The Medicare Savings Programs help with Medicare out-of-pocket costs.

Medicare Part D Extra Help lowers the costs of prescription drugs.

“These letters are not a scam,” said Kris Gross, director of SHIIP. “They are an important notice that people on Medicare should review and consider.

SHIIP can help you determine if you’re eligible, apply, and understand these new benefits once you’re approved.”

Anyone with questions about this assistance or other Medicare topics can contact Franklin General Hospital’s SHIIP volunteer, Marie Russell, at (641) 456-5074, or contact SHIIP at 1-800-351-4664 (TTY 800-735-2942).

SHIIP’s services are free, confidential and objective. SHIIP does not promote or sell any insurance products.

Visitors present were J Lohrbach, M Lawler, D Chipp, L Allan, and Stephanie Mulford and two children.

Mayor Brown called the Public Hearing to order at 6:45pm for approving the amended 2016 City budget. City Clerk Jorges read the proposed changes needed for the budget. With no comments for or against the amended budget from the public present or written comments sent to City Hall; a motion to close the public hearing was made by Erickson and seconded by Tilkes.

Roll call vote was taken with all ayes. Tilkes made a motion to waive the 2nd and 3rd readings of the budget and Stadtlander seconded.

Erickson made a motion to approve the amended budget and Lohrbach seconded. Tilkes motioned and Lohrbach seconded to approve Resolution 2016-4 Amended 2016 City Budget.

Roll call votes were taken with all ayes and all motions carried.

At the public forum portion of the meeting Lon Allan addressed the Council about the 30 trees planted in the city on April 30th with the help of 7 volunteers. He reported he moved and repaired the one bleacher at the ball diamond in City Park for the ball league. He also requested the Council to set up a meeting to go over the 32 page DNR Tree Survey. He was instructed to ¿nd out what scheduling would work for Matt from DNR and we would go with that. Myron Lawler reported he talked with Sparboe and two other sources about donations for the dug out roof covers and storage for equipment.

Darren Chipp addressed the Council asking for a building permit to move a building from Latimer to the property he purchased next to his current business. After discussion, Stadtlander motioned and Tilkes seconded to approve the building permit. Roll call vote was Erickson aye, Lohrbach nay, Stadtlander aye, and Tilkes aye.

Motion carried. Mayor Brown vetoed the motion.

Permit denied at this time. It will be discussed further at next council meeting.

Stephanie Mulford addressed the Council requesting permission to have the side street closed to the north of The Garage Tavern for a street dance on Fun Days, June 18th. Erickson motioned and Lohrbach seconded to approve the street closure for the street dance on June 18th.

Motion carried and the resolution was passed and approved. Next on the agenda was a resolution to establish a Santa Fund. City Clerk reported this could not be done per instructions from City Attorney Berkland because it is against the Iowa Constitution and Iowa Law that the City can not give any gifts away to anyone. If the money for this was turned over to the City to manage it would become public funds and could not be used as intended.

Maple-Glazed Black Pepper Chops Smoked Back Ribs with Roasted Tomato, Honey and Chipotle Glaze

Recipe courtesy of Tuffy Stone Prep time: 10 minutes, plus 1 hour stand time | Cook time: 3 1/2-4 hours | Servings: 3-6 Dry Rub 3 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper 1 teaspoon onion powder 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper Ribs 3 racks pork back ribs Apple juice, in spray bottle Glaze 1 can (14.5 ounces) fire roasted diced tomatoes 1 cup diced onion 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 teaspoon chile powder 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon paprika 1/4 cup honey 3 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo sauce One hour before smoking, make dry rub. Combine all ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Pat ribs dry with paper towels; generously coat both sides with rub. Set aside at

room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat grill for indirect cooking at 250-275 F. Place the ribs, meaty side down, over drip pan and cook 2 hours, spraying both sides with apple juice every 30 minutes. Add about 12 coals to grill every 45 minutes to maintain heat.

Meanwhile, saute tomatoes, onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; cook 15 minutes until onions are tender; let cool. Carefully pour glaze into blender and pulse until smooth. Add water to thin, if needed.

Remove ribs from grill; brush both sides with glaze. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Return wrapped ribs to grill and cook 1 1/2-2 hours over indirect heat, until tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature.

Remove ribs from grill and unwrap.

Place over indirect heat on grill and brush with more glaze. Cook 5 minutes until glaze is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more glaze.

Recipe courtesy of Moe Cason Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes | Servings: 4

3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons minced shallots 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup dark agave nectar

1/4 cup maple syrup 2 teaspoons sea salt, plus extra for seasoning 4 bone-in New York pork chops, 1-inch thick In small saucepan, combine butter, shallots, thyme, garlic and pepper.

Cook over low heat until garlic has browned. Stir in vinegar, agave nectar, maple syrup and salt; heat until slightly thickened. Remove pan from heat.

Heat charcoal grill to medium; lightly oil grates. Lightly sprinkle

surface of chops with sea salt; grill 6 minutes per side.

Brush glaze on both sides of chops and grill until internal temperature reaches 150 F and glaze is caramelized.
