Organizers pleased with turnout at inaugural cultural celebration

BY NICK PEDLEY ultures collided in a good way Saturday during the first-ever Gran Festival celebration hosted in downtown Hampton.

Around 1,000 people showed up to the event, which was held as a fundraiser by local outreach group La Luz Hispana.

It featured live music, games and vendors; and raised more than $10,000 with additional funds still coming in.

“It was fabulous,” said Sister Carmen Hernandez, of La Luz Hispana. “We had a great turnout, the weather was good and the events were fun.”

Various demonstrations were held throughout the day to showcase the area’s unique cultural diversity. Children were treated to train rides, a petting zoo, face painting and inflatables, while many of the event’s sponsors were on hand to provide information about their products and employment opportunities.

Prestage Foods moves on from Mason City

BY TRAVIS FISCHER The plan to build a pork processing facility in Mason City is officially canceled.

Prestage Foods of Iowa announced Friday it was no longer considering Mason City as a potential location for its proposed $240 million pork processing facility. The Mason City Chamber of Commerce and the North Iowa Corridor Economic Development Corporation tried to facilitate further discussion and encourage a second development agreement, but Prestage has decided to look elsewhere.

On June 2, the Chamber of Commerce and North Iowa Corridor invited business and community leaders from around the area to attend an informative meeting about the project. However, no Prestage representatives showed up.

BY NICK PEDLEY Franklin County officials have enlisted the help of an East Coast restoration company to develop a plan for the courthouse clock tower’s five statues.

The board of supervisors approved a $7,650 consulting contract last month with Conservation Solutions, Inc. The Maryland-based company will be brought in to assess the condition of the copper statues, which were removed in December due to rust-related deterioration.

Some of the statues have remained on display in the courthouse rotunda while others were placed in storage. According to Supervisor Gary McVicker, initial discussion has leaned towards restoring the statues and reinstalling them on the clock tower.

Conservation department marking ditches to save monarch habitat

BY NICK PEDLEY New signs are popping up across Franklin County in an effort to preserve habitats for the embattled monarch butterfly.

Local officials ls have been identifying ditches this spring w it h n at ive prairie grasses and f lowers, ing which are being threatened by a new weed management system. The board of supervisors recently hired a contractor to blanket spray each right of way with a herbicide this summer to control noxious weeds and brush overgrowth. The tactic will eventually kill nearly all vegetation in rural ditches and eliminate vital habitat for native species like the monarch, according to Franklin County Conservation Director Jason Gooder.

“When you blanket spray, it destroys everything,” he said. “Basically, we’re going to be left with nothing but brome grass, which for wildlife and insects is pretty much a green desert.”

Pork plant protesters made their opinions known during last week’s meeting in Mason City. TRAVIS FISCHER/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE

In partnership with Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management, various ditches have been mapped and exempted so the contractor can avoid these areas; however, the adjacent property owner is still responsible for keeping

didn’t follow through.

“We did have many farmers that stepped up, but unfortunately some did not,” Eberling said. “That’s why we’re going back to the blanket spraying.”

Landowners with special signs in their ditches can still manage the vegetation how they see fit. That typically means spraying or mowing during summer months, Eberling explained.

“We can’t stop people from spraying if they have a sign,” he said.

“Those are only for the contractor’s use so they know not to spray it.”

Gooder said his department has been reaching out to landowners and explaining the benefits of native prairie vegetation. Not only does it provide vital wildlife habitat, but it also works as a natural weed killer.

“It reduces the threat of weeds because the native species’ root systems occupy so much space, basically,” Gooder explained. “It’s using biology to thwart some of the weeds,

Make sure you’re around for your family by scheduling a checkup with your healthcare provider.

Many health conditions can be prevented or detected early with regular checkups.

June is Men’s Health Month, making now a great time to schedule an appointment.

Todd Allbee, of ABCM Corporation, was proud of Hampton for hosting the cultural celebration. He is fluent in Spanish and has ties to Mexico thanks to his wife, Fabiola, who was born in Mexico City.

“We are proud to be part of this festival,” Allbee said. “I feel deep respect and recognize Hispanics as an important characteristic of the community.”

Hernandez echoed Allbee’s sentiments and believed events like Gran Festival could help bridge cultural gaps that exist within the community.

“I’ve heard some great comments,” she said. “It serves as a means to bring people together, and it’s really all about celebrating the many cultures of north Iowa.”

Though Gran Festival emphasized Hispanic culture, other events and demonstrations provided some diversity. Hernandez was uncertain about a final attendance number but

was pleased with the overall turnout.

“It’s hard to get nailed down because people were in and out throughout the day,” she said.

All funds raised from the event will benefit the Citizenship Learning Center (CLC). The outreach program will provide materials, information and assistance to legal immigrants that need help with the naturalization process, and is hoped to start in late August or early September.

Hernandez said La Luz Hispana is still in the research-gathering process for the CLC. She’s heard positive feedback so far and hoped the program would be supported by the local community.

Hernandez was unsure whether Gran Festival would turn into an annual event, but believed this year’s celebration would provide some positive momentum moving forward.

“It’s great for community outreach,” she said. “We’re just feeling

“People can still manage their ditch, the only thing Franklin County Conservation asks is for them to understand the objective and goals of our project,” Gooder said.

Gooder hoped preserving a portion of the native grasses and flowers would help save habitat for the monarchs. The butterfly’s population numbers have drastically declined in recent years due to habitat loss and other issues.

Gooder said every bit of habitat preservation will play a key roll in bringing the monarch back from its decline. The conservation department has expanded native vegetation plantings in recent years and hoped to continue in the future.

“The population decline is a direct result of the loss of plants that are vital to the monarch butterfly,” he said. “That’s why the blanket spraying is kind of frustrating on our end because we’ve been trying to do a holistic approach.”

“[Conservation Solutions] said that even if we replace them with replicas, we’ll have to take them down every 8-10 years to have them resurfaced,” he explained. “If the restoration is done properly, they’ll be up there for a long, long time.”

Rain and other adverse weather conditions had started taking a toll on the statues in recent years. Rust was bleeding down the courthouse’s cream-colored exterior, and the base of one statue had deteriorated so much that it swayed during strong wind gusts. The discovery prompted all five statues to be removed after concerns were raised over public safety.

Officials had previously believed their best option was to replace the statues. However, McVicker said a consultant with Conservation Solutions thinks they can be saved.

“For not even seeing the statues yet, I was impressed with his knowledge,” McVicker said.

Franklin County Auditor Michelle Giddings said Conservation Solutions was hired because of their extensive experience with historic relics. Four of the five statues are as old as the courthouse itself, according to online records.

It’s nice to have the statues down in the rotunda so the public can see them up close, but they belong back up top.

— GARY MCVICKER, supervisor “They work with a lot of this stuff out east, way more than some companies in the Midwest,” Giddings said. “They’re very familiar with copper and hopefully they’ll figure out what we need to do.”

All five statues were serviced in 1979 and again a decade ago.

The statues on the west side of the clock tower are in the worst condition, McVicker said, as they bore the brunt of bad weather during storms.

The statues will remain grounded until Conservation Solutions visits and develops a plan later this year.

“It’s nice to have the statues down in the rotunda so the public can see them up close, but they belong back up top,” McVicker said.

The statues aren’t the only items in need of repair at the courthouse.

In January, the supervisors approved a contract with Karr Tuckpointing for $57,000 to complete relatively minor exterior brick repairs. Work will begin when the contractor’s schedule allows, Giddings said.

Trent Gifford and fiancée Tasha Ulrich, of Sheffield. ZACH CLEMENS/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Sheffield man adjusts to life after severe accident

BY ZACH CLEMENS When Sheffield resident Trent Gifford left for work in the early morning hours of Sept. 26, 2015, he had no idea his life would change forever.

Gifford, 27, was a passenger in a single-car rollover accident that morning.

“We were like bowling balls, rolling around hitting a concrete wall of dirt,” Gifford said.

He broke his neck, back, legs and arms in the crash and was life-flighted to Des Moines. He was in a medically induced coma for days after, and when he woke up he was paralyzed from the waist down.

“I was very limited in what I could do,” he said.

From Des Moines, Gifford was sent to Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, Neb. “[Madonna] had great therapies,” he said. “The nursing staff and hospital were awesome, I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to be around.”

Madonna staff helped Gifford slowly regain strength in his broken body.

“There wasn’t any other place I would have wanted to be at that time,” he said. “It felt like home.”

Even though Gifford suffered extreme injuries, both external and internal, he never fell into despair.

He said he always takes challenges as they come.

“I had an accident, I can be mad all day, or I can be happy,” Gifford

said. “I chose to be happy.”

The only time he got frustrated was when his girlfriend, Tasha Ulrich, had to do nearly everything for him. Ulrich was always by his side during her boyfriend’s recovery.

Gifford decided to propose to Ulrich in December, and with the help of the dedicated nursing staff, he was able to get on one knee and do it properly.

Ulrich was not the only person who supported Gifford through his recovery. His family was by his side as well, and helped renovate his Sheffield home to make it more accessible for his wheelchair.

They added a ramp for easier access, created a roll-in shower in place of the laundry room, and made hallways and doorways bigger to make it easier to maneuver his chair around the house.

Gifford arrived back to the newly-renovated home in March and continues his therapy multiple times a week. He still has a positive attitude about the whole ordeal, even though he will never get full movement back.

“I can go and pout, and have bad days, or I can get up, try to shake it off and move on and try to be happy,” he said.

Gifford has regained some movement in his right leg, and hopes to be able to take steps at some point during his recovery.

“I got a lot I can [complain] about; I also have a lot I can be thankful for,” he said.

“Since the 1950s, Iowa is the only state not to increase their population by 50 percent,” said Chad Schreck, president of the North Iowa Corridor. “And we’re worse off in Cerro Gordo County.”

Schreck noted that while much of the country has recovered from the 2008 recession, the Cerro Gordo County area has not kept up and is still down 3,300 jobs. Once fully operational, the Prestage plant was planned to create nearly 2,000 new jobs to the area, many of which would need to be filled by new residents.

One of the major concerns about the project was its effect on surrounding school districts. Many school leaders believed an influx of non-English speaking students would have a costly impact on local districts. Though the development agreement between Prestage and Mason City included additional funding for Mason City school districts, neighboring districts were left out of the deal.

“If this facility is being built south of Mason City, many of the communities in our school district are probably closer to this plant than many in north Mason City,” said West Fork Superintendent Darrin Strike. “I think the educational funding needs to branch out.”

While Strike said the West Fork district couldn’t handle an immediate influx of non-English speaking students, he acknowledged that too many students would be more favorable than too few.

“With any student, you need to identify the resources you need and bring in the personnel to make sure the student succeeds,” he said.

“I think it’s easier for a school district to deal with a growing population of students than a declining population.”

While members of the Chamber of Commerce and the North Iowa Corridor made their case for supporting the Prestage plant, there

was a notable absence from Prestage Foods, which did not send a representative to attend the meeting.

“I’m a little disappointed that there wasn’t somebody here from Prestage,” said Rockwell Mayor Jim Bills.

Also disappointed in the meeting was Swaledale Mayor John Drury, who has been a vocal opponent to the project. Drury expressed his displeasure at the attempt to continue pressing an issue he felt had already been settled.

“For the chamber to circumvent the legislative process is wrong,” he said. “That’s not their role.”

On the opposite point of view, supporters of the project noted that taking multiple attempts at projects is not uncommon. The primary example used was the Vision Iowa program, which has helped renovate downtown Mason City.

“They turned that project down twice,” said Schreck. “Then they came back one more time and made it work. So there’s certainly a precedent in Mason City.”

However, any hopes at a second development agreement through Mason City were abruptly ended Friday with the announcement that the city was no longer under consideration.

While Mason City may not be in the running for the new plant, other possibilities exist in the area.

Franklin County Development Association Director Karen Mitchell confirmed that Prestage representatives have visited the county on at least two occasions and met with the Franklin County Board of Supervisors.

“They have toured some sites,” said Mitchell. “We have had multiple conversations and exchanges of information.”

Mitchell said she hasn’t heard from Prestage since they announced their decision to pull out of Mason City, but is open to continue discussions if there is interest.

Hampton council discusses pork plant

BY NICK PEDLEY The Hampton City Council expressed mixed views about a potential hog processing plant moving to Franklin County during its workshop Monday night.

Mayor Brook Boehmler asked if the group was willing to support the $240 million development, which is being proposed by Prestage Foods of Iowa. The company originally planned to build the plant in Mason City but pulled out after the city council failed to pass a development agreement there last month.

Prestage has been seeking a new location for the e. plant ever since.

The company met with local officials last month and investigated possible sites near Latimer and Coulter, but nothing official has been decided.

“The area would have been greatly impacted if Mason City would have gotten it,” Boehmler said. “I want our council to be the first city to show support for it.”

Council Member Jay Hickman was concerned about the possible

The point of unity is you.

The county has presented itself and we are working on it. The opportunities are there.

— BROOK BOEHMLER, Mayor tax incentives associated with the plant. Mason City offered Prestage more than $10 million in local incentives, which Hickman found extremely high.

The Ward 4 councilman was also concerned about the region’s ability to supply the estimated 2,000 jobs needed to run the plant once it becomes fully operational.

“There’s just a lot more to it than building a $240 million plant,” Hickman said.

Franklin County ISU Extension Director Sue Wolf was on hand to provide information about the potential impact on the local job market. According to the extension

office’s projections, 252 ancillary jobs would be created elsewhere in Franklin County after the plant was built.

The figures intrigued Council Member Dyanne Pralle, who expressed outward support for the plant. Other council members who supported further discussion were Dick Lukensmeyer, Meghan Freie and Jim Davies. Hickman and Jesse Mollenbeck wanted more information and didn’t offer an opinion about the plant.

Boehmler was supportive and reiterated that the plant would not be built in Hampton due to a lack of suitable land. He said current discussion was only preliminary and that all decisions would be made at the county level by the board of supervisors.

“The county has presented itself and we are working on it,” Boehmler said. “The opportunities are there.”

In other business, the council heard from American Legion Commander Jim Zacharias, who wished to strengthen the city’s relationship with local veterans.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

And then there were two Hillary Clinton finally clinched the Democratic nomination this week after six months of gritty campaigning and strong pushback from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Her victory set up a November showdown with Donald Trump, whose candidacy defied the odds to win the Republican nomination against a stiff field of competition.

This election has been bizarre to say the least. Trump was one of 17 GOP candidates to throw a hat into the ring, and his campaign style has been anything but conventional. He’s been bulletproof and survived countless blunders that would have sank any other candidate. From racially-charged rhetoric to flip-flopped stances, the business mogul has come through unscathed. Whether or not that luck will carry over to the general election remains to be seen, but nothing is really shocking at this point.

Though Clinton hasn’t provided the incredible sound bytes and bombast like Trump, she too has overcome several hurdles during the campaign. From her email scandal to ongoing controversy over Benghazi, Clinton comes with plenty of baggage. Nonetheless, she outlasted everything and finally delivered the deathblow to Sanders’ campaign this week despite his pledge to continue fighting until the party convention.

On paper, it seems Americans will have two very sketchy candidates to pick from come November. Both Trump and Clinton are far from perfect, but that could be said for any candidate in every election. However, it’s clear we’re at a crossroads in American politics right now. Two populist candidates – Trump and Sanders – garnered significant support this year while more traditional contenders like Jeb Bush fell flat on their faces. That momentum could trickle down later this year and beyond, which would be an unlikely political shift not seen since the early 20th Century.

Who knows what twists and turns await us as we march towards November. This election cycle has been unpredictable and unprecedented, as evidenced by Trump’s rise to prominence. If he can outpace Clinton’s treasure-trove of campaign resources and funding, it will mark one of the most shocking presidential victories in the history of American politics.

Oh, what a long, strange trip it’s been.

Summer is here – get out and enjoy Franklin County!

With Memorial Day weekend behind us, we can now shift our sights to the unofficial start of the summer season. Things are green again, farmers are finishing up in the fields, and temperatures are starting to stay consistently warm. Early summertime in Iowa certainly isn’t a bad place to be.

Franklin County has a lot to offer over the next three months. From music to town festivals to the county fair, there’s sure to be something going on no matter the week.

One of the more symbolic events marking the start to the season is Tuesday on the Town in downtown Hampton. The local staple boasts music, food and other events in beautiful Band Shell Park every Tuesday evening throughout June. Of course, that’s just the beginning. The Franklin County Fair provides a mid-summer break for area residents with its music, shows and other attractions. Good food and animals are all added bonuses, as are the many rides and historic exhibits.

If that’s not enough, various town celebrations fill weekend schedules throughout the summer. Each one offers its own unique opportunities for fun no matter the size or city. It’s always great to catch a parade and admire all the interesting floats and cool cars, and it’s equally fun watching the youngsters dart about for candy.

Those are just a few of the many events planned here in Franklin County this summer. Get out and enjoy the weather while you can – before we know it, we’ll be griping about how hot and muggy it is.

Have a great summer!

Vocal minority report Captain America is a Hydra spy and always has been.

At least that’s what writer Nick Spencer wants you to believe after reading the first issue of “Captain America: Steve Rogers,” which hit shelves a couple weeks ago.

The details aren’t entirely clear, but it appears Captain America’s history has been rewritten to turn him into a Nazi loving double agent.

The only thing more absurd than that premise is the reaction it has invoked. In spite of the fact that Captain America has, in just the last decade, been dead and turned into an elderly man (in that order), and come out of both changes no worse for ware, a surprising number of people seem to think that this is the shocking twist that will change the character forever.

It won’t, but some people don’t realize this. So now Spencer is receiving the same kind of grief not seen since the last time somebody at Marvel made a huge change to a beloved character. Which, of course, includes a number of death threats.

Death threats over silly things are hardly uncommon on the internet.

As Spencer was dealing with the fallout from his Captain America reveal, game developer Sean Murray had the misfortune of telling an overly eager audience that the upcoming game, “No Man’s Sky,” had been delayed.

That’s right. Death threats over the relatively common practice of delaying a video game. People can get really passionate about things.

Outside of pop culture, we see similar behavior in politics. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have very little in common when it comes to their political platform, but both have attracted a contingent of, let’s say “spirited” supporters. Ones that feel perfectly comfortable sucker punching black kids or harassing super delegates with 2 a.m. phone calls. (Hillary Clinton seems to have avoided this problem by going to great lengths to ensure nobody gets too excited about her campaign.)

Late night phone calls aren’t re-

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer

While the internet has made it easier for the worst among us to spread their toxic messages, these people should not be taken as representatives of the whole. served for national politics either.

Before voting down the economic package that would have facilitated the Prestage pork plant in Mason City, the city council members shared their displeasure with the behavior of some of the project’s opponents. Specifically, the ones that called their jobs and yelled at their co-workers.

Who does this? What’s happening here?

Is society crumbling? Are we all just meaner than we used to be?

Have we always been like this and is the internet just exposing how bad we’ve always been?

Not really. No. While the internet has made it easier for the worst among us to spread their toxic messages, these people should not be taken as representatives of the whole. The amount of attention we give to outliers is more of a problem than the outliers themselves. Overreacting to an overreaction has a multiplicative effect.

Sometimes it’s a matter of laziness. A couple of internet trolls decide to lay out some bait for the media and the next thing you know “Racist Fans Boycott Star Wars” is trending across the web. Not because there was actually a legitimate movement, but because it’s easier to play a game of internet telephone than doing any investigative legwork.

Other times, it’s a deliberate effort to push a narrative. When the video games journalism industry was caught with their pants down two years ago, sparking the ongoing Gamergate controversy, they were quick to label their detractors as sexists, racists, terrorists, and any other label they could think of to deflect attention away from their own failings.

Extreme examples may make for entertaining reading, but they don’t serve well to represent the whole.

The few Captain America fans that sent death threats to Nick Spencer don’t represent the people who merely think the idea is dumb.

The few gamers that sent threats to Sean Murray are vastly outnumbered by the ones who expressed sentiments of support and understanding.

Not all Donald Trump supporters are racists.

Not all Bernie Sanders supporters are idiots.

And while plenty of people have their concerns about the Prestage project, they should not be collectively represented by the guy incoherently yelling at the Mason City Chamber of Commerce about squirrels.

I’m not saying that the outliers aren’t worthy of notice or discussion, but it’s important to put them in the proper context. Oddly enough, it seems like the more we try to lump people together, the more divided we get.

Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and thinks there’s enough idiocy and hate in the world without manufacturing more.

Question: Are there restrictions in the Iowa Code concerning the start time of a meeting or how long a meeting lasts?

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.

N

ot specifically. Iowa Code section 21.4(2)(a) states that a meeting “shall be held at a place reasonably accessible to the public, and at a time reasonably convenient to the public,…”

There is no definition in Chapter 21 of ‘reasonably convenient’.

There is little judicial guidance for determining ‘reasonably convenient’. A district court case, S.A. Sutton v. Dubuque City Council, 2004 WL 5640887 (Iowa Dist.

Ct. for Dubuque County, March 2, 2004) is of limited value. The challenge in the Dubuque case concerned a 5 p.m. meeting time.

The Court found that starting time did not violate Iowa Code section 21.4(2)(a). The ruling opined that a 2 a.m. meeting would be “facially unreasonable,” but offered no other advice.

Recently, the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) reviewed a complaint concerning a school board that officially changed its monthly meeting time to 6 a.m. The school board discussed the change at open meetings and voted in open session to move the regular meeting time. The rationale stated for the

FACTS AND FIGURES FOR MAY 2016 AND FOR 2016 YEAR-TO-DATE: During the month of May 2016, 80 contacts were made with the Iowa Public Information Board office.

TYPE Formal complaints Advisory opinions Declaratory orders Informal complaints Informal requests Miscellaneous TOTALS

change was that there would be fewer conflicts with other school activities, especially early evening arts, academics, and sporting events.

The IPIB dismissed this specific complaint. The IPIB added, however, that this dismissal should not be utilized as precedence by any governmental body contemplating a move of its meeting time. The IPIB also directed staff to research and draft an administrative rule concerning meeting times.

The length of a meeting has not been the topic of any formal complaint and is not specifically addressed by the statute. Informal concerns have been raised concerning an electronic meeting that was scheduled to last five hours and regular meetings that begin at 6 p.m. and last until midnight. This issue may also be addressed by an administrative rule.

Anyone having suggestions on this issue is asked to contact the

May 2016 2016 YTD 11 53 0 8 0 1 7 39 62 268 0 4 80 373

IPIB at ipib@iowa.gov and share those suggestions. Opinions, rulings, FAQs, monthly columns, and training documents are available on the IPIB website – www.ipib.iowa. gov. Questions for the IPIB can be posted on the website or by calling 515-725-1781.

WHO CAN CONTACT THE IPIB AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? Any person can contact the IPIB for assistance by telephone (515725-1781), by email, or on the website. So far, in 2016, 373 identifiable people have contacted the IPIB. Of these, 48 percent were private citizens, 40 percent were government officials or employees, and 12 percent were members of the media.

In the month of May 2016, 67 percent of the incoming contacts were resolved the same day, 14 percent were resolved in one to five days, and 19 percent were resolved in six or more days.

Goodbyes have never been my strong suit. I really don’t like them and tend to get sad when it comes time to bid farewell. But just like death and taxes, they’re inevitable, and this is my goodbye to Hampton and Franklin County.

I covered this community and its people for the past three years. I joined Mid-America Publishing in 2013 writing the news for the Sheffield Press and Pioneer Enterprise, and six months later I moved into the editor position at the Hampton Chronicle. Both jobs are ones I will never regret.

Since starting here, I’ve covered tornadoes, court cases, rodeos, local government, concerts, fairs, town celebrations and everything in between. I’ve watched the community grow with new businesses and adapt to change by welcoming its burgeoning Hispanic population. I’ve seen numerous fundraisers realize their goals to improve the quality of life here. All the while, I’ve remained impressed.

Each community is unique.

Hampton and Franklin County are no different, and it’s certainly a special place with special people.

I tend to get nostalgic when it’s time to say goodbye. I only remember the good things and forget the bad, which is the only silver lining to leaving. There have been many good memories for me here and I’ll remember them fondly.

No matter how positive or negative a story might have been, people here trusted me to tell their stories. I will never forget that and greatly appreciate it.

Mostly, though, I think of the people. I’ve met so many great folks over the past three years and built tremendous relationships through my job. No matter how positive or negative a story might have been, people here trusted me to tell their stories. I will never forget that and greatly appreciate it.

For the past decade or more, critics have whitewashed the newspaper industry by claiming it’s dead and outdated. I respectfully disagree.

Working at a small weekly publication has allowed me to realize the impact of my reporting. Whether it was someone commenting about a story I wrote or seeing an article pinned to the wall somewhere, it’s reaffirming to know that people still appreciate what we do. That’s why I got into this business and it’s likely why I’ll stay.

I wish I could make a list of everyone that deserves thanks for treating me well while I was here.

Unfortunately, it would be too long and you would get bored reading it.

But know this: I’ve never taken your kindness for granted and will forever remember the lessons I learned here.

When I graduated from college three years ago, I packed up my car and said goodbye to my best friends for those four years. I drove away while they stood there watching me, knowing things were never going to be the same as they once were. I got choked up as they slowly disappeared from view and thought of all the memories we made.

I know I’ll have the same reaction when I watch Hampton get swallowed by the horizon in my rearview mirror next week. Thank you for welcoming me into your community and letting me tell your stories. It’s been absolutely wonderful.

Nick Pedley has served as the community news editor of the Hampton Chronicle since November 2013. He will be returning to northwest Iowa to help run his family’s two newspapers.

DUMONT COMMUNITY LIBRARY NOTES Mid-America Publishing renewing his dedication to God, and DEB EISENTRAGER Sawyer: In 1930’s acquires Holstein newspaper • NewBYChristian needing to convince Elly that they fiction Kansas, Neva ShilMid-America Publishing Corporation last week announced its purchase of The Holstein Advance and Tri-Valley AdVance Publishing from Mari Bauer, of Holstein, effective May 31.

The Advance will be added to the Hampton-based corporation’s growing roster of 30 Iowa weekly newspapers and shoppers. Other nearby papers also owned by Mid-America include those in Ida Grove and Lake City.

Locally, the company owns the Hampton Chronicle, Viva Iowa and Sheffield Press in addition to many other weekly publications in north Iowa.

“We are excited to assume the ownership of The Advance,” said Ryan Harvey, president and CEO of Mid-America Publishing. “After we purchased the Courier and Reminder from Roger Rector nearly a year ago, we began discussing the opportunity of buying The Advance from Mari shortly thereafter.”

The transfer of ow n e r sh ip is related to the Bauer’s decision to pursue other interests. Harvey will assume the duties and title of publisher of the newspaper while the staff of the Courier and Reminder will be responsible for its day to day operations.

“We believe a local newspaper needs to have local content,” Harvey said. “Our mission going forward is to tell the stories of local residents, report on local events, and give strong coverage of local government at the city, county and school district levels.”

FGH Auxiliary awards 3 scholarships Editor’s note: This article was published in last week’s newspaper and is being reprinted with corrected information.

The Franklin General Hospital Auxiliary awarded three scholarships to local high school seniors this year.

The scholarships, which vary in amount from year to year, are paid out after the students complete their first year of training. They are paid with funds raised by the auxiliary each year during fundraising activities.

This year’s recipients received $500 apiece. They include: • Dawn Porzio, from CAL, is the daughter of Marshal and Darlene Barr, of Alexander. She will pursue physical therapy at Hawkeye Community College.

• Caleigh Rae-Ann Sutter, from Hampton-Dumont, is the daughter of Amy Craighton and Andy Sutter. She will pursue a nursing degree at North Iowa Area Community College • Evan Koenen, from Hampton-Dumont, is the son of James and Pam Koenen, of Hampton. He will purse pre-medicine at Wartburg College.

Scholarships have been awarded since 1979 to graduating seniors from any Franklin County high school who plan to enter a health-related field. A committee of FGH Auxiliary members select the recipients from a field of qualified applicants.

Additionally, the Grace Darling Memorial Scholarship is awarded every four years to a local student going into a four-year nursing program. It is made possible by funds from the estate of Grace Darling. It is renewable for up to four years as long as the student continues in a health-related program.

The scholarship was not awarded this year.

DEFENDING HOME TERRITORY

ƒ CAL softball team earns first win of season in sibling face-off

BY KRISTI NIXON LATIMER – CAL coach Mikyla (Muhlenbruch) Hefti ran her career coaching record to 5-0 against her sister, Tripoli coach Kaitlyn Muhlenbruch on Friday, June 3 with a 16-6 win in six innings.

But the elder of the two, who both attended CAL, is quick to defend her sister and her efforts to kick-start the Panthers’ program after the game was over.

“You know, each year those girls keep getting better and better,” Hefti said of Tripoli. “Tripoli’s so big into being a volleyball school that when she became the coach they hadn’t had softball for maybe two years and so when she started she was starting with girls from scratch and she’s working with them, going on her third year now and she keeps getting them better and better all of the time.”

Nonetheless, the Cadets took advantage of the Panthers’ two pitchers’ inability to find the strike zone and showed patience in working 16 walks against them.

“We teach our girls to be very patient and we know with them having a young pitcher and not being real fast with their pitching speed that we tell our girls, ‘be patient, tonight, she’s going to get tired with a lot of pitches,’” Hefti said. “You know, looking at Tripoli’s stats, they played (Don) Bosco last night 6-3 and that was a close game for them.

“I talked to her (Kaitlyn) before the game and she said her pitcher has only given up like four walks so we might have caught her on an off-night.”

In fact, starting pitcher Sadie Bobst allowed four bases-loaded walks in the fateful third inning that gave CAL the lead for good in a sixrun rally in spite of no base hits in the frame.

“We really do have to be patient at the plate,” said CAL pitcher Stephanie Thielen, who drew three of the walks herself. “We have to keep our weight back, that was the main thing. The starting pitcher threw the ball that created easy popups for our team that doesn’t like to be patient at all. We really are start-

ing to get it (patience) and that really helped a lot, started to get some more runs.”

The Cadets took an early 4-0 lead against Tripoli in the opening inning, but the Panthers used a fiverun second to momentarily take the lead on two hits and three errors against Thielen and the Cadets.

Thielen yielded four hits the rest of the way, three in the fourth that generated a run, but retired the final seven batters she faced.

“I think I’ve had better games,” Thielen said of her pitching performance. “I struggled a little bit trying to find his (the umpire’s) zone and I started to get it at the end, so that’s what really matters.”

CAL had a chance to end the game early and took advantage of it on a steal home by eighth-grader Erin Heidenbrand, who had led off the inning with a single and then quickly moved around the bases on a passed ball and a steal of third.

“I don’t think about it as being my sister, when we are playing the game, it’s just another coach and we’ll be sisters at the end of the game,” Hefti said. “Right now, both of us want to win, so we don’t have mercy on each other. It’s hard – we come from a very competitive family and it’s just in our blood to be that way.

Tale of two teams Ć’ West Fork rallies by previously unbeaten Clarksville, earns sweep

doubleheader.

Meanwhile, eighth grader Kori Wedeking, the younger sister to both Clarksville coaches Katie and Kimberly Wedeking, took her first loss in the circle while striking out six. “Our bats are so much better this year,â€? Katie Wedeking said. “We didn’t have anyone batting above .300 last year and now we have three or four so far. I know it’s only five games, but‌ â€œâ€ŚKori is pretty calm and collected, so she is pretty easy to coach.â€?

Dickman said, “Because of the JV tournament at Hampton (we were down a pitcher). I thought she (Hubka) could do it and she did with flying colors. I’m very proud of her.�

Both teams were missing some of its regular starters, none more so than the Indians. “We told them conference is our main goal, being conference champions, these weren’t conference games,� Katie Wedeking said, “but especially these games and the ones this week we lose six players, four of them starters because they are going on a Washington D.C. trip for school. We had five eighth-graders playing this game and will have five eighth-graders and two freshmen in the lineup this week. “We have some t alented eighth-graders. I would say Ainsley Lovrien hasn’t played third (base) much, she got that home run and she made about six plays today – it was only her second time playing third.�

The Warhawks, meanwhile. were without its leading hitter, Kaitlyn Liekweg, who is batting .500 thus far. “Today, we were missing Kaitlyn Liekweg, she is gone on a family get-away,� Dickman said. “We struggled with the bat because she’s a very good batter, but at the same time I think all of the girls stepped up and strung the hits together and that’s what we’ve been needing to do all season.�

BY KRISTI NIXON CLARKSVILLE – Entering Saturday’s doubleheader between host Clarksville and West Fork, the two squads were heading in opposite directions.

The Indians were 4-0 and opened with a big 5-0 early lead against the Warhawks, who entered the day 0-4.

However, a momentum shift in the third inning of the opener turned the five-run deficit into a tie ballgame that led to extra innings and West Fork earning its first win and Clarksville suffering its first loss.

Clarksville had recorded two quick outs in the inning, but on a ball hit by Lexi Jones, the Indians’ second baseman and right fielder collided both going for the ball which led to a big three-run inning.

Each team was not the same after that. “We do a really good job of fighting back for some reason,� West Fork coach Abbee Dickman said. “We don’t start on top very well. We do a very good job of having something to work for and I think the girls see an opportunity, whether it is a mental error or whatever, they try to capitalize on it.�

But Clarksville coach Katie Wedeking thought her team had the ability to come back based on the Indians’ ability to hit. “We’ve been on the bats pretty good this year,� coach Wedeking said, “I do feel like when we have an error, we kind of have two or three right after that; that’s what we talked about in the huddle and that’s what we have to work on.�

With two runs in the fourth, West Fork tied the game at 5-all, and again at 6-apiece in the fifth and there it remained until the ninth when two straight singles by the top of the order, started off by Jacy Guerrero, began what turned into a run on a fielder’s choice error on a run-down for the lead-off hitter between third and home.

The floodgates opened after that play and the Warhawks eventually pulled out the 10-6, nine-inning contest.

West Fork came back from another early deficit as the home team on the scoreboard in the second game of the doubleheader, tying the score at 3-all in the first and then going ahead for good with a three-run second and tacking on five more in the third. “We had some tough games in Lake Mills and Central Springs right away,� Dickman said. “Lake Mills, I don’t think we were necessarily ready to play our first game.

We played different girls in different positions and I think we finally found our lineup.�

Nevertheless, Clarksville combined for 18 hits in the two games against the Warhawks’ eighth-grade pitcher Rachael Hubka, who went the distance in both ends of the

Growing, pains ƒ Virtually whole new team giving up big innings in early season

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – Matt Lokenvitz knows the situation.

When he saw 11 graduate – mostly starters – from the 2015 team that set school marks by starting the season 10-0, he expected some growing pains.

The onset of the 2016 campaign has brought three games and one big inning in each of them, including the Wednesday, June 1 home opener against Webster City that has his team starting with an 0-3 record.

“There is no easy cure or fix for inexperience and youth,” Lokenvitz said after the 12-0 loss to the Lynx in six innings. “We graduated 11 seniors last year, so coming into this year – JV and varsity both – we’re both so young that we have to take our lumps.

“Three games in a row here now we’ve had the lead at Forest City 2-0 before we had kind of a meltdown inning, we were down 3-1 in the fifth against Bishop Garrigan before we had a meltdown inning and lost by 10 and here, down 1-0 going into the fifth and have a meltdown inning and get beat. That’s just the way it is.”

Webster City’s Cameron Moen threw a complete game against the

Halloran signs with DI school MASON CITY – West Fork graduate Spencer Halloran, who worked his way into the NIACC baseball record books, announced via social media that he has signed with Division I Houston Baptist University last week.

Starting as a walk-on with the Trojans, Halloran didn’t waste any time earning a starting role in the outfield and is the school career leader in walks, top-10 in hits and runs, with all three statistics tallying more than 100, as well as home runs (15).

Houston Baptist finished just under .500 last in 2016 while playing in the Southland Conference.

Halloran helped NIACC reach the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II World Series both seasons, including a championship in 2015.

He will play under head coach Jared Moon, who will begin his 12th season at Houston Baptist. The Huskies made their first-ever appearance in the NCAA baseball championship in the Houston Regional in 2015.

The 2016 roster is mostly made up of Texans and players from California, but Halloran will have a familiar face joining him at the Texas school as Mason City Newman’s Jack Fitzgerald (Kirkwood CC) also recently signed to play at HBU.

Bulldogs, scattering three hits – two of which came off of the bat of leadoff hitter Johnny Guerrero.

H-D did make contact off of the Lynx sophomore, but none found holes as drives to the outfield were caught, ending any threat the Bulldogs tried to mount.

Coach Lokenvitz’s team also coaxed four walks off of Moen, but left all of its base runners stranded.

Case in point, Justin Kent, who was 1-for-3, made good contact on all of his at-bats.

“I’ve been really surprised and fortunate to see Justin Kent hit the ball really well,” Lokenvitz said.

“If he continues to go and some of our other guys will get better, we’ll start hitting the ball like Jacoby and Caleb will; getting some of these younger guys who don’t have varsity experience and seeing them hit the ball really well, that’s encouraging to see.”

Starting pitcher for H-D, Caleb Chaney, who has already made two starts for the Bulldogs, struck out eight, yielded nine hits, including a 4-for-4 night for Lynx’s No. 7 hitter Corey Wagner.

When asked if he has more arms to work with, Lokenvitz said yes.

“Kent, who came in at the end of the game, will probably be our number three pitcher,” Lokenvitz said.

“He’ll do a good job for us. We had only the two games and enough of a break that Chaney could come back and he’s our best pitcher. He was able to come back and do some different stuff for us.”

youth, Webster City ran freely once it reached the base paths, stealing seven bags on the Bulldogs.

It turned a 1-0 lead after the second inning into a 7-0 lead with a six-run uprising in the fifth and then ended the game early with another big five-run sixth.

“A lot of growing pains, a lot of things that we need to improve upon,” Lokenvitz said. “But we can’t get our heads down, we’re a young team, we’re going to get better. We’re talented, we’re just young. As soon as we can put together a full game we’ll be all right.”

The FDA temporarily suspended inspection of federal licensed facilities last spring during the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreak in Iowa and 20 other states.

The department followed the lead of FDA and also suspended inspections last spring out of an abundance of caution to ensure that department employees would not serve as a potential source of disease spread.

Warhawks H-D earns suffer first loss first win at Lake Mills of season SHEFFIELD – In a game that had its share of stops and starts because of rain, West Fork’s baseball team took its first loss of the season, 11-1, in six innings against Top of Iowa Conference foe St. Ansgar on Friday, June 3.

The Warhawks even started the contest early in anticipation of weather, but the rain hit early and did not help the situation against the Saints.

It all started with a four-run rally in the third that put West Fork in a deficit that it couldn’t get out of in falling to 4-1 overall.

Both Clay Emhoff and Rylan Fleshner hit 2-for-3 with Emhoff hitting a solo homer in the third that cut into the deficit, but the Warhawks were unable to plate any more.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship resumed inspections of state-inspected egg handlers on June 1. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also resumed inspection of federally-licensed egg handling facilities starting on June 1.

All department inspectors have received additional training on appropriate biosecurity on visiting livestock and poultry farms, and will continue to follow rigorous biosecurity protocols as part of the inspections to help ensure animal health.

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.

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. Fish a worm under a bobber near vegetation.

Lower Pine Lake: Some anglers are catching decent sized crappies with minnows and artificial lures. Bluegills are slow and small on bother upper and lower lakes. There have been a few reports of big largemouth being caught in both Upper and Lower Pine lakes lately.

Lake Smith: Bluegill, good. Bluegills are biting well and should be in pre-spawn and making nests. Size varies.

Largemouth bass, good.

Channel catfish, good. Try fishing near the rocks with cut bait or worms under a bobber.

Black crappie, slow to fair. Use small jigs in and around rocks where they might be spawning.

Lake Catherine: Largemouth bass, good. Largemouth bass are biting on plastic worms jigged along the bottom.

Clear Lake: Water temperature is about 70 degrees.

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, good. Action has slowed for the spawn but is not done yet.

Best times are from 5-7 a.m., and 7-9 p.m. Fish near the island, Dodges Point, the rocky shoreline near the outlet or Billy’s Reef. Northshore docks have also been good on a south wind day. 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, fair. Action for keeper size walleyes has been slower this week.

Fish are generally still using shallow water since it is fairly turbid from wind and rain. Fish have been caught close to docks, in the rushes or edges of them and trolling shallow.

Black crappie, good: The crappie spawn is almost finished. Use a small jig and cane pole and dip it in pockets in the cattail beds on the little lake.

Also check around the north shore docks.

Muskellunge, fair.

Yellow perch, fair. Target perch inside the rushes on the north shore or near Farmer’s Beach.

Bluebill Lake: Largemouth bass, good. Fish the shorelines with a plastic worm on a Carolina rig or a real worm on a bobber.

Bluegill, good. Some nice bluegills are being caught wading the shoreline and drifting live baits or flies. A few largemouth, crappie and perch are also biting while bluegill fishing.

Black crappie, fair. Crappies have been hit or miss this week, with a few bigger days for nicely-sized crappies.

EAB continues advance; Louisa County added to list A tree in rural Louisa County has been positively identified for emerald ash borer (EAB).

The exotic pest kills several species of ash and is considered one of the most destructive tree insects ever seen in North America. EAB is responsible for the death of tens of millions of ash trees in the 26 states it has been detected. Iowa now has 32 counties with confirmed infestations.

Nearby infested counties include Black Hawk, Bremer and Story counties. Experts say EAB will eventually hit every community in Iowa.

EAB is a small, metallic-green beetle that is about ½ inch long. The larvae stage of this wood-boring insect tunnel under the bark of ash trees, disrupting the flow of water and nutrients, ultimately causing the tree to die. EAB infested ash trees include thinning or dying branches in the top of a tree, evidence of woodpecker activity, S-shaped feeding galleries under dead or splitting bark, D-shaped exit holes, and water sprouts (along the trunk and main branches).

Federal quarantines are in place to restrict the movement of hardwood firewood, ash logs, wood chips and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states. The Iowa EAB Team urges Iowans to use locally sourced firewood, burning it in the same county where it was purchased. Firewood is not only a means of transportation for EAB, but other tree-killing pests as well.

The treatment window for soil-applied preventive treatment measures (soil injection, soil drench or granular application) has ended. Basal trunk sprays can be made until mid-June and trunk injections can be done now through the end of August, provided there is good ground moisture. Landowners interested in protecting a valuable and healthy ash tree within 15 miles of a known infestation, should have landscape or tree service companies bid on work and schedule a treatment.
