Republicans pick Larson for sheriff nomination • Hanig to withdraw name from ballot BY NICK PEDLEY Despite the result of last week’s primary election, sheriff candidates Linn Larson and Rick Rieken will face off one more time this fall. Larson defeated Rieken 634559 June 7 to land the Republica n Pa r t y’s nomination. However, Rieken announced he will run independently this November for another shot at the sheriff’s Larson office. “As close as it was, I’m not gonna give up in the face of adversity,” Rieken said. “You just have to keep moving forward.” It appears Larson and Rieken will be the only two sheriff candidates

Eberling wins GOP supervisor nomination by 26 votes

• Local of¿cials discuss Prestage pork project

FRANKLIN COUNTY VOTER TURNOUT Franklin County voter turnout for the June 7 primary election was 20.4 percent. That figure doubled the statewide number of 9.7 percent, which was Iowa’s lowest primary election showing since 2004.

BY NICK PEDLEY proposed multi-million dollar hog processing facility dominated discussion at two separate meetings in Hampton during the past week. Last Thursday, the Hampton City Council approved a letter of support encouraging the Franklin County Board of Supervisors to begin negotiations with Prestage Foods of Iowa. The company is seeking a new home for its proposed $240 million pork processing plant, which was shot down in Mason City last month when the council failed to pass a development agreement with Prestage.

running this fall. Ed Hanig, who won the Democratic Party’s nomination for sheriff, plans to withdraw his name from the November ballot. He currently serves as Sheffield’s police chief and submitted his resignation papers June 6. Hanig said he is retiring from law enforcement altogether. June 30 will be his last day with the Sheffield Police Department.

BY NICK PEDLEY Corey Eberling narrowly defeated challenger David Schoning in the June 7 primary race, but that doesn’t mean the incumbent will have a clear path to re-election this fall. Eberling beat Schoning by 26 votes last week to clinch the Republican nomination for Supervisor District 3. However, Schoning said he’s “not finished yet” and will run independently in the general election. “Going against Eberling an incumbent is going to be an uphill battle, but I was happy with [the votes] I got Tuesday,” Schoning said. “It was close, and I am going to get back out there and speak with more people.” Eberling, who’s running for his fourth term, is no stranger to competition. He’s had two contested races in the past three elections and said he planned to hit the campaign trail hard before November.

A company representative met with local officials in late May and toured potential sites for the plant near Latimer and Coulter. However, nothing further has been discussed, according to Franklin County Development Association (FCDA) Director Karen Mitchell. “We continue to gather more information and assess the project,” she said at Monday’s board of supervisors’ meeting. “We don’t know if they’re really interested [in Franklin County] or not. We’ve asked them directly.” See PRESTAGE: Page 2

Gun fired in robbery attempt

BY NICK PEDLEY The possibility of future whole grade sharing between CAL and Hampton-Dumont gained momentum June 8 during a special joint school board session in Latimer. The meeting was requested by CAL, which has immediate staff openings that must be filled by August. Board members discussed establishing new partnerships and also examined long-term scenarios like whole grade sharing for the 2017-18 school year. CAL and H-D currently share nine positions including administrative staff, instructors and maintenance personnel. “I don’t know of any of our partnerships that aren’t going well,” said CAL Superintendent Steve Lane. “With this many people working in both districts, it would be meaningless to look anywhere else.” A bulk of discussion focused on CAL’s finances. According to a report compiled by the Iowa School Finance Information Services (ISFIS), the district is spending around $300,000 annually from its unspent budget reserves and will run out

within four years if current trends continue. ISFIS representative Larry Sigel met with board members and discussed CAL’s options. He said many districts are dealing with similar issues due to declining enrollment and low state funding. “Everyone asks if they did something wrong,” Sigel said. “No, you’re

just running out of kids. Nobody did anything wrong.” Though the Iowa Legislature passed state aid increases in recent years, the amount hasn’t made up for declining enrollment in rural schools. Making things worse are high transportation costs that aren’t taken into account by the Legislature’s funding formula.

Sigel said only 20 districts have bucked statewide enrollment trends and rapidly expanded over the past decade. “It’s grow or die,” he said. “I don’t like that, but that’s just the way it seems sometimes.” See JOINT MEETING: Page 3

BY NICK PEDLEY The CAL administrative office will see a shake up next month in an effort to reduce operating costs and fill vacancies. The board of education on Monday unanimously approved hiring current Hampton-Dumont Superintendent Todd Lettow on a part-time basis for the 2016-17 school year. Beginning July 1, Lettow will spend 20 percent of his time at CAL and the other 80 percent at H-D during the workweek. CAL Superintendent/Elementary Principal Steve Lane will become K-12 principal next month. He will relieve current 6-12 Principal/Activities Director Scott Striegel, who has accepted a job at Nashua-Plainfield for next year. See CAL BOARD: Page 2

CAL BOARD “Todd is a hard worker and I think it will work out good between the both of us,” Lane said. “We’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.” Lane, who technically serves on a part-time basis, will continue receiving his current salary of just over $29,000 next year. CAL will pay 20 percent of Lettow’s salary at H-D, Lane said. The board approved 13 other partnerships with H-D during the meeting, including a shared curriculum director position.

They include: Business manager, human resource director, transportation director, maintenance director, nurse, child nutrition supervisor, Medicaid billing clerk, ag teacher and instrustrial teacher. Finally, the board discussed setting a date for a public meeting regarding district finances and future whole grade sharing options. Board members were partial to the week of June 27, but an official date will be announced some time next week. Larry Sigel, an associate with Iowa School Finance Information Services, will present a report on CAL’s financial outlook during the meeting.

The Hampton City Council was the first governing body to jump on board with Prestage. The council approved a short letter June 9 urging the supervisors to talk with the company. The plant would not be located in Hampton, but the council felt it could have a positive impact on the entire county. “The City of Hampton would like to provide support for the Franklin County Supervisors to begin negotiations with Prestage Farms to locate a packing plant in our county,” the letter stated. “We will look forward to you helping provide economic development to our communities. If we can be of any help, please contact us on how we can be of assistance.” Mayor Brook Boehmler, a staunch supporter of the processing plant, called the letter “self-explanatory.” “The intent is exactly what’s written here,” he said. “Nothing more, nothing less.” The board of supervisors also

protocol. According to discussion, the board has never designated a specific supervisor to work on an individual economic development project before. “I just feel more comfortable doing it this way,” Nolte said. “It’s just a different type of project and a lot bigger than what we usually do.”

If built, Prestage’s proposed plant would create up to 2,000 jobs once it becomes fully operational. The project received heavy opposition in Mason City after many residents feared it would create environmental hazards, strain local schools with an inf lux of non-English speaking students, and lead to increased crime rates, among other concerns. However, proponents believe it could reverse declining population trends in north Iowa and lead to additional economic development. “We have to investigate and look at everything,” said Nolte. “This is the first step in a long process of visiting with [Prestage Foods] and seeing what we have to offer them.” No representatives from Prestage Foods attended either the council or supervisors’ meeting. However, members of a group opposing the plant attended both. Mitchell said she would continue discussion with Prestage Foods at the company’s request. No official plan or announcement mentioning Franklin County has been released by the company. “They’ve gone kind of quiet after Mason City,” Mitchell said.

JOINT MEETING

Police searching for armed robbery suspects

H-D to purchase Syngenta property

BY NICK PEDLEY A gun was fired during an armed robbery attempt Sunday afternoon at a residence in Hampton. According to Hampton Police Chief Bob Schaefer, two male suspects entered a home in the 300 block of Third Avenue Northeast around 5:45 p.m. A conflict ensued resulting in a gun being fired by one of the burglars. No injuries were reported. “Nothing was taken during the incident,” Schaefer said. “We have a speculation on the motive, but nothing certain.” The attempted burglary occurred at the home of Billie and Don Wentzel. Billie Wentzel described the incident Monday morning in a post on her Facebook page. “I had two black males show up and literally one came in my home and demanded money and pulled a gun on my husband and myself,” she wrote. “Thank God my husband is not a [redacted] and attacked and managed to save our lives and get the man out of my house. “Then gunshots were fired [there] was children in the vicinity outside on their bicycles and thank God none of them got hurt at all over this ordeal.” Police were still searching for the suspects as of Tuesday morning. They are described as two African-American males in their mid-20s. Schaefer would not comment on the type of gun used during the incident. Witnesses described seeing a small red car flee the crime scene. “The witnesses that saw it thought it was Dodge Neon,” Schaefer said. “But we don’t know for sure if it’s a Dodge product.” Mason City Police stopped a vehicle they thought was tied to the incident Sunday night, but all suspects were released after brief questioning. Contact law enforcement immediately if you have any information about the robbery.

BY NICK PEDLEY Officials at Hampton-Dumont are nearing a deal that would land the district a “new” bus barn. According to H-D Superintendent Todd Lettow, the district is in the process of acquiring property located near the Hampton Municipal Airport. The land includes multiple buildings and is currently owned by Syngenta, which is closing its doors next month.

SHERIFF PRIMARY “I had some other opportunities come up and I decided that it was a good time to move on from law enforcement,” he said. “It was in the best interest of me and my family to pursue other interests.” Both Larson and Rieken looked forward to meeting more voters and explaining their platforms in the coming months. Each candidate hit the campaign trail hard this spring and hopes to continue that momentum. Larson said he will attend each community celebration this summer to have more exposure with Franklin County voters. “I’ve had a good response from the people supporting me and I’ve engaged in some very good discussions,” he said. “My goal is to listen to them instead of pushing my agenda. I’m really here to answer their questions and hear their concerns.” Larson said his goals for the sheriff’s office include implementing a 24-hour patrol schedule and improving communication among local law enforcement agencies. “I’m not going to do anything that’s not sustainable and doesn’t serve the public or save costs, if possible,” he said. Rieken has similar goals and believes his message will resonate with voters come November. He, too, plans to hit the campaign trail hard this summer and relay his platform to constituents. “I’m going to come at the job with a youthful enthusiasm,” he said. “Being a local homegrown individual, I think that gives you an advantage. You tend know things that an outsider doesn’t and you’re coming in hot rather than cold.” Current Franklin County Sheriff Larry Richtsmeier is not seeking re-election and will retire at the end of the year.

Many events like a parade, children’s games, bike rides and cribbage tournament are planned for Saturday’s festivities in Coulter. CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO

Coulter summer celebration is June 18 BY NICK PEDLEY Multiple family-oriented events will greet visitors in Coulter Saturday during the city’s annual Firemen Fun Day celebration. Attractions like a parade, childrens’ games, cribbage tournament and car show are planned for the all-day festival. Firemen Fun Day is geared towards families and children, and organizers are encouraging area residents to join the excitement. This year a heavy emphasis is being placed on the Rolling Prairie Trail, which starts in Coulter and ends at the Butler County border. Two events – the Breakfast Bike Ride and Youth LEGO Bike Ride – are scheduled for Saturday. “We want to see people start having more fun on the trail route from Hampton to Coulter,” said Cathy Carlson, one of Firemen Fun Day’s planners. “There’s a lot of opportunities for fun there, and we need to take more advantage of it.” The Breakfast Bike Ride is new this year. Participants will meet at the Franklin Wellness Center in Hampton and ride to Coulter for breakfast at the Coulter Café. Riders are also encouraged to stay and decorate their bikes for the parade. “It’ll be just like what we used to do when we were kids,” Carlson said. Participants can register for the bike ride by contacting Franklin Wellness Center Director Jim Davies at (641) 456-2827 or franklinwellness@gmail.com. Returning from last year’s Firemen Fun Day is the LEGO Bike Ride. Participants will hit the Rolling Prairie Trail on their bicycles for a family-oriented trip around the Coulter area while collecting various sacks of LEGOs. Riders will

eventually return to city park and build unique creations with the plastic bricks. Participants with the best LEGO creations will receive prizes. Contact Carlson at (641) 866-6946 to register. “It was really popular last year and we’ve had several people ask us if we’re doing it again,” Carlson said. “It’s Father’s Day this weekend, so I hope we have a lot of families show up.”

SUPERVISOR PRIMARY “A majority of people I’ve spoken with think we’re headed in the right direction.” Eberling said. “I’m trying to make the best decisions for the most people in Franklin County as possible.” Both Eberling and Schoning said they’re focused on keeping taxes low and expanding economic development. Eberling believed the board of supervisors had been successful at helping existing businesses flourish while attracting new ones in recent years. “Lower property taxes due to broadening the tax base makes the county’s communities and Franklin County as a whole more attractive,” he said. “Businesses won’t look at you unless you have reasonable taxes.” Schoning believes smaller communities need more attention, and that the county supervisors need to “watch our purse strings.” “They’ve done some things in the past that I believe was questionable spending,” he said. No Democrats filed to run in the District 3 Supervisor primary. Schoning hoped higher turnout in the general election would help propel him past Eberling. “Probably 50 people have told me they didn’t vote Tuesday, but would have voted for me if they did,” Schoning said last Wednesday. “I originally planned to run independently. I’m going to keep going and be here for the people.” Eberling said he will keep working for Franklin County taxpayers.

“The school board thought that this would be a better ¿t for our needs and frees up educational dollars for our students.” — TODD LETTOW, H-D Superintendent “The opportunity came up and we wanted to jump on that,” Lettow said. “I think it will work out really well.” The property will cost the district $250,000. H-D will take ownership July 15, Lettow said. H-D currently rents a large shed at the Franklin County Fairgrounds to house its buses. Lettow said the building “isn’t in good shape,” and that fair officials recently told the school board they didn’t want to fix it. Lettow believed the Syngenta property purchase will be good for all parties involved. “Building a new bus barn would cost the district somewhere around $750,000,” he said. “This way, we get a better price on a usable property and the fair board can do what they want with the building.” Lettow said a few minor renovations will be needed at the Syngenta property to accommodate the district’s 13-bus fleet. The district will pay for the property using a combination of existing PPEL and SAVE funds. “The school board thought that this would be a better fit for our needs and frees up educational dollars for our students,” Lettow said. “You try to spend as much money as close to the kids as you can.” The H-D Board of Education held a special meeting May 9 to discuss the property, but no action was taken.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

Patience a virtue with Prestage Recent buzz over Prestage Foods’ $240 million pork processing plant reached new heights in Franklin County following two meetings over the past week. Though the company has remained publicly quiet about its intentions since visiting the county last month, it’s important the entire community views the project with cautious optimism moving forward. Many lessons can be learned from Mason City’s failures this spring. City officials’ urgency to approve Prestage’s project startled many residents, which ultimately led to massive opposition and failure. Franklin County leaders must take a slower approach and gather thorough information on the plant’s potential impact before jumping to conclusions. This project would be massive and its ripple effect vast, which makes weighing the pros and cons all the more vital. Franklin County is not Mason City, and local leaders have made that clear during the past month. We’re an ag-based county that would more than likely welcome a large investment like Prestage’s project. However, the community must keep an even head and look at all angles of the issue. Buzz over Prestage has already led to increased attention from outside groups over the past few days alone, and that will only grow in the weeks and months ahead. Filtering out the nonsense and learning the facts will be key in determining whether the proposed plant would be a good addition here.

Stemming the tide of tragedy Sunday’s tragic event in Orlando was the most deadly terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. Once the dust settled, 49 people were dead, more than 50 people injured and countless lives changed forever. The incident is being viewed through many lenses. Some see it as national security issue, some claim it’s a gun control problem, while others say it’s a hate crime. All are correct, as are the proposals to thwart a similar attack. America is under constant threat of homegrown terrorism and new tactics will be needed to stop such massive bloodshed from reoccurring in the future. Convoluting the situation is the fact that the Orlando shooter was a characteristic “lone wolf.” He was a legal citizen that accepted radical Islam on his own accord, which is extremely difficult to stop. However, the FBI had investigated him twice in recent years and gave him the all-clear. The failures of federal investigators led to the worst mass shooting in American history, which is alarming as we look to the future. What other dangerous lone wolves lurk in the shadows waiting to pounce on innocent Americans? The United States must bolster its stance on extreme Islamic terrorism through a multi-pronged approach. We need more help combating terrorist groups in the Middle East through strengthened military opposition to crush their message of hate; we must change our laws to restrict gun access to individuals with radical leanings on federal watch lists; and we need to ratchet up internal protocol and intelligence programs to ensure lunatics like the Orlando killer don’t slip through the cracks. All three suggestions will see a fair amount of pushback from both liberals and conservatives, but a diversified plan is the only way to combat the omnipresent threat of domestic terrorism and secure the safety of law-abiding citizens. Many Americans believe these types of random attacks will happen no matter our policies and procedures; however, our elected leaders cannot stand idle and wait for the next one. Serious discussion and action must occur to stop this from happening again. Whether it’s Orlando, San Bernardino or somewhere else, our current system clearly isn’t working well enough to stop terrorists from committing mass murder. We can’t become numb to these attacks, because if we do, we’re just setting ourselves up for another tragedy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ditch spraying irks local farmer Letter to the editor, I hope further thought will cause the Franklin County Supervisors to reconsider spending $20,000 to turn our county into a brome, corn and beans only environment. We spray the thistles in our ditches and others should be expected to do the same if that is the law. Has anyone noticed the beauty of the native vegetation where it was planted and allowed to take hold? The reminder of our roots to God’s creation helps foster re-

spect for all life; something sorely lacking in the world today. Haying of ditches planted to native species should also be eliminated. Reclaiming that mix was very expensive and I remember the work Tom Billerbeck undertook to make C-25 a beautiful way to get to town for us. Fritz Groszkruger Dumont

Choose wisely this election season Letter to the editor: When our children play sports, we teach them sportsmanship with principles and values. We tell them it is not whether you win or lose but it is how you play the game. Should this be applied to the 2016 election? If you are a Democrat or a Republican, what are you and your party’s principles and values in electing the president and

congressional candidates? Should you endorse and vote for the candidates that align with your principles and values? Or should you endorse and vote for candidates that do not align with you just to win at all costs? Alyce Hugeback Hampton

The millennials’ distopian utopia I’ll never forget when our oldest son came home from college and declared the welfare state to be legitimate because “we” voted for it. I can’t think of a better illustration of “democratic socialism.” No founding father ever had a good thing to say about democracy. They intended to design a republic, not a democracy. The candidacy of Bernie Sanders presents an opportunity to examine democratic socialism. It is extremely important because vast quantities of millennials (not all of them) are belching forth from schools with the same ideas that Hans formed while at UNI. They flock to Bernie events like Beatles concerts. When you get old, time goes faster. It allows you to see trends more clearly. The trend is toward the worship of government as the provider of all things and away from self-sufficiency. I was listening to a conservative talk show the other day and this person was so befuddled that Bernie (Sanders) called himself a democratic socialist. He believed democracy is the opposite of socialism. This is the kind of numbskullery that enables people like Bernie to garner such a fervent following. People, like this talk show host, don’t recognize that nation building, space exploration or medical research are every bit as socialistic as an unwed mother on welfare. But if this radio celebrity had denounced democracy as the fuel that drove socialism, he would also have to denounce his own preferred transfers of wealth by saying, “We voted for it.” Venezuela voted for it, and it is incredibly timely that Bernie is

THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger pushing for the same system here. The fact overlooked most often by promoters of socialism is that, while youthful idealism might inspire us to work to promote the common good for a while, the need for food and shelter enter the picture soon and cause a change of heart. All this free stuff has to come from somewhere. Hugo Chavez, after being democratically elected in Venezuela, expropriated 1,200 farms and companies in an effort to fund his benevolent programs, even giving away houses. If you wanted to start or expand a business with the ever-present threat that the government could seize it for the common good, would you? On an interview show on public radio (“Fresh Air” with Terry Gross) the subject of the Venezuelan catastrophe was repeatedly referred to as being caused by falling oil prices. The New York Times reporter interviewed, who lives in Caracas, glossed over the fact that the entrepreneurial climate in Venezuela had been destroyed by socialism. It was interesting to hear a resident of Caracas give firsthand accounts of the long lines, empty shelves and hunger, but never relate it to Venezuela’s “business friendliness” ranking by the World Bank as 186th out of 189. Apparently his pay-

check from New York City sets him apart from the victims of socialism in Caracas. I implore any millennials who might read this to consider the consequences of a democratic socialist system. Also, conservatives should consider the benefits of privately run and funded businesses they have traditionally accepted as things that needed to be done by government; such as the nation building, space exploration and medical research mentioned above. Thomas Jefferson said government will inevitably grow. I now see that the federalist idea is what was intended as a way to impede socialism. But starting with Lincoln’s war, then Johnson’s Great Society and Civil Rights Act, our property is no longer ours to use as we see fit. States as well, have no ability to compete, or should I say they only compete through subsidies and tax breaks (plainly more socialism). So the democracy we now suffer under is still offered as a solution to the problems created by democracy. The vote, as a means to circumvent limited government, worked in Venezuela and it will work here if we let it. Venezuela has the highest murder rate in the world. I wish these millennial democratic socialists could have their own state where productive people like Hans (who soon saw the light) could move elsewhere. The socialists could remain and put up a billboard saying, “Welcome to the Distopian Utopia.” A comment to this column can be sent to the paper as a letter to the editor or me at 4selfgovernment@ gmail.com.

Tourism grows the economy and improves quality of life Summer is here, and it’s time to enjoy all that Iowa has to offer. Our great quality of life is bolstered by the arts, culture and recreation. These opportunities and amenities are important to local communities. They attract families and young professionals to make Iowa their home, create jobs, draw business investment and boost tourism. Travel and tourism have a huge impact in Iowa, with spending growing faster than the national average in recent years. In 2014, travelers spent more than $8 billion and supported 66,500 Iowa jobs. The Legislature’s investments this year should help continue that trend, while providing great things to do, see and learn. We’re preserving and enhancing Iowa’s history, culture, arts and recreation with: • $16 million for Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) (HF 2454). Iowa’s popular REAP

Last weekend saw the release of one of my most anticipated films of the year. As of writing this, I’ve yet to see “Warcraft,” but my excitement has not been dampened by the 22 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating. Yes, a 22 percent rating. A far cry from the 90 percent that “Captain America: Civil War” received and even a smidge lower than the 27 percent of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” a movie I only watched so I could confirm with my own eyes how bad it actually was. So why am I so excited by a movie that’s considered worse than a movie I hate-watched? Because even though a lot of people aren’t too keen on the movie, all the right people are. Specifically, fans of the Warcraft video game franchise. By all accounts, Duncan Jones has made that rare gem. A video game adaptation that is actually faithful to the source material. It’s strange. Comic book adaptations have made incredible strides towards faithful adaptations in the last decade. No longer do we joke about “blue and yellow spandex.” Today we expect characters and costumes that look like they were lifted straight off the page. Hollywood has become more considerate to books as well. Sure the mega-fans out there might bemoan some of the changes made when adapting the Harry Potter or Hunger Games books, but those movies are much more faithful to their source material than anything Stephen Spielberg ever adapted, from “Jaws” to “Jurassic Park.” But while adaptations of comic books and novels make up a good chunk of Hollywood’s most successful movies, video game movies have yet to break into the mainstream and the demand for faithful adaptations has never been much of a priority. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of video game movies. There are movies that try to adapt the source material, fail and turn out to be terrible. Then there are movies that completely abandon their source material and turn out to be terrible anyway. “Warcraft,” as I’ve heard from friends who have already seen it, breaks this pattern with a strong reverence for the source material. Not surprising since the story was written by Chris Metzen, Blizzard’s vice-president of story and franchise development, and the man who crafted much of the game’s lore in the first place. Even in the trailer’s I’ve seen, the care taken to properly represent the game has been impressive. Every location shown in the trailer should be recognizable to anybody that has spent a fair amount of time playing “World of Warcraft.” From Stormwind City to the fields of Westfall to poor Lakeshire, the locations in the movie look like they were lifted directly from the game. This isn’t just about fan-service. Things like this signify how much care and attention went into creating the film. It would have been easy to take liberties for the sake of time, money or effort, but they didn’t. If you paid to see a Warcraft movie, that’s what you’re going to get. In fact, this movie may actually be more faithful to the Warcraft franchise than the game it’s based on. The movie depicts the events of what fans know as “The First War,” which was depicted in the 1994 game “Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.” However, as the first game in the franchise, the story wasn’t nearly as fleshed as it would one day become. Much like how Batman’s early days were spent murdering evildoers and Superman originally couldn’t fly, it took a few years for Warcraft to really solidify its story. So if you’re still playing “World of Warcraft,” this movie will actually be more in line with the game’s lore than the 1994 game is. Now, does any of this mean “Warcraft” will be a good movie? According to director Duncan Jones, about 40 minutes of character work were left on the cutting room floor, which would go a long way towards explaining the lackluster reaction from the general audience critics. On the other hand, while domestic critics have been less than enthusiastic, the film is making a mint overseas, so it must be doing something right. Is this a movie for fans only? Is there a disconnect between the critics and the general public? I do not know, but either way it’ll be a good one for me.

OPINION & NEIGHBORS

HAMPTON CHRONICLE • SECTION A UNDER THE GOLDEN DOME, TOO

Linda Upmeyer

Final action With the arrival of June, it means that warmer weather and summer is here. Our free time will soon be filled with county fairs, cook outs, parades and more time with family. I know that I’m looking forward to this summer!

Recently, Gov. Terry Branstad completed action on the 2016 session by signing the final bills from this year. In this week’s newsletter, I’ll highlight a few of the good things that we accomplished this session that were signed into law. Budget: Branstad issued no vetoes and signed off on the budget in full. This year’s budget continues the practices of spending less than the state collects and not using one-time money to pay for ongoing needs. This is the sixth year in a row that the Legislature has abided by these common sense measures. The budget is responsible and makes investments in Iowans’ priorities like education, public safety and health care.

Medicaid Modernization Oversight: Branstad also approved our plan to provide oversight to the state’s new Medicaid Modernization program. This session, the Legislature passed comprehensive oversight measures that will provide legislators and the public with unprecedented levels of data on the state’s Medicaid program. Some of this information has never before been available or tracked. With this data in hand, we’ll be able to ensure that patient health outcomes improve, cost savings are realized, and waste and abuse are minimized. Early Literacy Initiative: House File 2412 ensures that parents receive updates and are notified reg-

ularly on their student’s progress in reading more than once a year. The bill also clarifies that reading proficiency at the end of third grade is not based on a single test score when determining retention. Right-to-Assistance: House File 493 is aimed at protecting victims of domestic abuse by ensuring that residents, tenants and landlords can request emergency assistance without being penalized or fined by government entities. The bill also prohibits an owner or landlord from restricting a resident’s right to summon law enforcement assistance on behalf of a victim of abuse, a victim of a crime or an individual in an emergency.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2016 These bills are just a handful of some of the good public policy that the governor signed after session adjourned. Earlier in the session the governor signed many good bills like setting funding for education and providing certainty to Iowa taxpayers by coupling with the federal tax code and Section 179 depreciation. I believe that we left Iowa in a better position as a result of this past legislative session. Speaker of the Iowa House Linda Upmeyer represents Franklin, Butler and Cerro Gordo counties in District 54. She can be reached at linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or (515) 281-3521.

LOOKING BACK

Olympics. We are going to see firsthand the speed of the roach athletes during the roach races, the incredible strength of the hissing cockroach of Madagascar during the roach pulls, and the agility of the crickets during the cricket jump. We are going to learn how far a cricket could jump if it was the size of a human. After the Olympic events, we will have a chance to get up close and personal with the bug athletes and their super-charged friends at the Bug Olympics display. It should be a fun time for the kids. We will keep the Olympic spirit going by watching the movie “Cool Run-

Fifty Years Ago June 15, 1966 Ron Hintch, formerly of Fort Dodge, is the new Iowa Highway patrolman assigned to this area and assumed his duties here recently. Mr. Hintch and his family are now making their home in Hampton on Seventh Avenue N.E. They have two children, Julie, age eight, and Ronald, age five. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hahn and Mr. and Mrs. Burdine Hahn and family attended a musical recital Sunday afternoon in the Allison-Bristow school auditorium. Twelve members of the Hampton Kiwanis Club were in Ankeny Monday to take part in the state Kiwanis golf tournament. Due to the high water in Ankeny, the tourney was held at the Woodside golf course, in north Des Moines. Members taking part in the tourney were Robert P. Rost, Dr. L.L. Vidal, C.R. Atkinson, Dr. K.L. Sykes, John I. Thompson, F.D. Wullbrandt, Wayne Grant, W.A. Krause, Vern Paulson, C.H. Castle, Al Christiansen and Lee B.

nings” after the program. We have some fun programs planned on mental health and teamwork in June and July. Steve Martin from the Butler County Nature Center will have a program on water safety and the extension office is going to focus on healthy snacks. I’m sure that will be a popular program, as the kids always like anything with food. Our final program will be July 21 with Wacky Olympics and a closing ceremony. Stop by and get the kids registered for the summer reading program. Late registration is allowed, so you don’t have to worry if you don’t make it by June 16. All chil-

Forty Years Ago June 17, 1976 Nancy Schulte, Y.F.U. student from CAL Community High School will be leaving from Chicago on June 20 for Darmstadt, Germany. In the “Youth for Understanding” summer program, the high school students live with a family in a new country and culture for eight weeks. Miss Schulte is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Schulte, Alexander, and will be a senior at CAL this fall. Geneva had its Bicentennial parade just in time Saturday, as a few minutes after the end of it, a full-fledged storm broke loose, canceling some of the evening activities for Bean Day. But the threatening weather didn’t affect the crowd that turned out to see the parade, as people lined both sides of the street downtown. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Fink and James and Al Fink and Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Miller and Dick Miller enjoyed a picnic supper Sunday evening at the Elmer Miller home near Coulter.

Knipfel and his family built a miniature ferris wheel in a machine shed on their farm located southwest of Hampton last winter. Oldest son Gary came home witth the idea, and “we sat down at the kitchen table right away to draw up the plans. It sounded like fun and something the grandchildren would enjoy,” Knipfel said. Construction began in March when the group began laying rthe wheel out on the machine shed floor. The ride was initiated last week at a family reunion on the Knipfel farm. “We had 16 kids here and some of them cried when it was time to leave because they wanted to ride it some more.” Several member of the Ratcliff and Montgomery families attended the supper at the Viking Restaurant at Hampton on May 31, for Danette Montgomery, a graduate from Nursing School at Iowa City. State Trophy Winners – Marisa Ragsdale and Adam Johnson took home trophies from the Iowa State YABA bowling tournament held recently. Johnson set a state record for six-year-olds, rolling a 2,013 allevents total.

Thirty Years Ago June 19, 1986 Merle Knipfel isn’t ready to give up farming to become a carnival operator yet. But he has a good start in case he decides to leave the land for the midway’s bright lights.

Twenty Years Ago June 13, 1996 Dwight Dodd and Quinn Showalter apply a little muscle, under the watchful eye of Patrick Sietsema, as they help put together a partition to be used at the Hampton Food Pantry.

Area fishing Flint Hills report for north central Iowa to expand capacity at Iowa Falls facility

The Iowa Department of Natural Resourcesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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. 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 bait or f lies. A few largemouth, crappie and perch are also biting while bluegill fishing. Blue Lake: Water levels in the lake are high but fishing has been fine. Largemouth bass, fair. 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. Some sorting is required because there are a lot of smaller fish. Clear Lake: Water temperature is about 70 degrees. Channel catfish, good. Catfish are still hitting in the shallows near shore. They are close to spawning time when they will move to rock reefs to find a spawning cavity. Use cut bait on the bottom with a slip sinker or on a float in the shallows. Jig fish with a piece of cut bait or minnow near the rocks. Yellow bass, fair. A few yellows can still be caught near the island, but the spawn is mostly done. Walleye, fair. Lots of sublegal walleyes are being caught; slower for the bigger fish. Try a weedless jig or a bobber in the shallows. Fish have been caught close to docks, in the rushes or edges of them and trolling shallow. Wader anglers have been catching a few keepers in the rushes on north shore or by Baptist camp.

Muskellunge, fair. Yellow perch, fair. Target perch inside the rushes on the north shore or near Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach. Bluegill, no report. Bluegills and pumpkinseeds should be on beds. Look for sand or fine gravel in 1-3 feet of water on the Ma cI ntosh poi nt or Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach shorelines. Lake Catherine: Largemouth bass, good: Largemouth bass are biting on plastic worms jigged along the bottom. Lake Smith: Bluegill, good. Bluegills are biting well and should be in prespawn and making nests. Size varies. Largemouth bass, good. Channel catfish, good. Try fishing near the rocks with cut bait or worms under a bobber. Lower Pine Lake: Some anglers are catching decent sized crappie at lower pine lake 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 lakes lately.

DUMONT IMPLEMENT COMPANY, INC. SALES

Flint Hills Resources announced last week the company will soon begin construction on improvements to its grain receiving capabilities at its Iowa Falls ethanol plant. The improvements will include a new grain receiving pit and material handling upgrades, which will more than double the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receiving speed while cutting truck turn times in half, according to a news release. The new pit, which will see receiving speeds increase nearly 175 percent and truck turn times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from probe to exit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reduced by more than 55 percent, is expected to open by Oct. 1, just in time for harvest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to be making these investments in our plant,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Hamburg, plant manager at Flint Hills Resources Iowa Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strive to create value for our customers, and we hope these improvements will enhance our customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience while on our site.â&#x20AC;?

West Fork’s Lexi Jones is hugged by teammate Teya Adams after reaching home plate on a three-run homer in the third inning of a big 13-8 nonconference win over Iowa Falls-Alden on Tuesday, June 7. Jones was a triple shy of the cycle in the win. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

West Fork rallies by then-No. 14 IF-A BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – West Fork’s Lexi Jones was blissfully unaware that her team’s opponent was ranked in Class 3A on Tuesday, June 7. She proceeded to hit 4-for-5 against Iowa Falls-Alden, who fell

from No. 10 to No. 14 in the second rankings that came out June 3, and finished a triple shy of the cycle as the Warhawks pounded both the Cadets’ pitchers in a 15-8 victory after trailing 4-0 entering the bottom of the second.

Jones, hitting second in a lineup that mashed 21 hits against IF-A, hit a three-run homer, doubled twice and was credited with an infield single while driving in a grand total of seven runs as West Fork improved to 3-5 overall. IF-A fell out of the rankings last week after the loss. “I honestly didn’t know they were in the rankings,” Jones said. “For us to come back and keep our heads up and not to get down, I’m proud of our team and how we played tonight and how we kept it up even when we made mistakes and errors. I’m very happy about not letting anything keep us down.” However, Jones was very aware of her possible cycle and on her last hit – a deep drive to center – she was forced to slide in at second on a quick throw back to the infield. “Yes, I was (aware) and I was a little upset about it,” Jones admitted, “but I’m just happy that I got a homer and got us up there.” It was the second time in a few days that the Warhawks came back from a multiple-run deficit. They had topped previously unbeaten Clarksville on the road four days before. “Like I said last time, I think we really like to get down and comeback,” Dickman said. “They like to have that goal of coming back. I think they kept a level head and have really been hitting the ball a lot. They did it again tonight and I couldn’t have been happier. “It’s been that way all the way up and down the lineup, so it’s kind

of nice because usually in a lineup there is a spot that is a little weaker. We’ve done a very good job all the way through.” And IF-A looked like it came ready to blow the ball into the water – literally – hitting two home runs into the creek that surrounds the Sheffield diamond. Eighth grade pitcher Rachael Hubka overcame that, however, as she struck out six and walked four against a Cadet team that made plenty of contact with the ball. “I didn’t expect the first hitter to hit a home run, so I think that was a little bit of a shocker right away,” Dickman said. “But she (Hubka) came back and pitched a heck of a game. That’s a hard thing to overcome being an eighth-grader and you can’t give her enough props. “I think she has given our girls a little bit of poise with a few girls who can put it over, we’ve done phenomenal.” Maddison Shupe started the second inning in a two-out rally with a hit to left and that started six straight hits for the Warhawks, including the first double by Jones, an error on a ball hit by Kaitlyn Liekweg and the second single of the inning by Shupe before the second came to a close on a ground out. By the time the inning was over, West Fork had the lead for good. IF-A kept coming back, finishing with nine hits and forcing the Warhawks into four errors to continue to put the pressure on, but West Fork kept adding on, also.

In fact, West loaded the bases with one out in the sixth, but it ended on a line-out double play. Dickman said that Jones has come on with her ability to hit. “I was very proud of her – she’s come a long way since the beginning of the season,” Dickman said “She’s one of our best hitters and I trust her. “I think with her it’s confidence. At first it is getting a few bumps to get the ball touched a little bit. When she hits the ball and sees it, she’s phenomenal.” Jones attributes it to practice makes perfect. “A lot of practice,” Jones said. “When we have practice coach is always on us about how we approach our swing to level out and to put all

Iowa Speedway was designed with inﬂuence from Rusty Wallace and patterned after Richmond International Raceway, a short track where Wallace was very successful. It has over 25,000 permanent seats as well as a unique multitiered Recreational Vehicle viewing area along the backstretch. It is one of only two tracks on the NASCAR circuit to have a SAFER barrier installed around the entire circumference of the outer wall (with Martinsville Speedway being the other).

In the second NASCAR race which featured its new lowerdownforce package, Joey Logano lowered the boom once again. There was one major difference between Logano’s victory in Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway and his win May 21 in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte. This one counted in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings and punched Logano’s ticket into the Chase playoffs. It remained clear that Team Penske already has a handle on the aerodynamic conﬁguration the sanctioning body is considering for 2017. Logan led 138 of 200 laps and dominated a succession of restarts, except for one instance on Lap 117 when race runner-up Chase Elliott grabbed the lead.

West Fork starting pitcher Clay Emhoff reaches back to throw in the first inning as Clarksville’s Pacen Hendricks leads off of first in front of Warhawk first baseman Dawson Zeitler. Emhoff went 4 1/3 innings in a five-inning win over the Indians. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

MATINEE GETS AWAY: ƒ Early start affects West Fork, Clarksville in different ways BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – After getting rained out the day before, West Fork coach Lance Thompson wanted to be sure he got this non-conference baseball tilt in, so he chose to play varsity first against Clarksville in an eventual 11-1, five-inning win for his team. The early start benefited the Indians at first, who are used to opening with varsity contests, but once the Warhawks got warmed up – and Clarksville ran out of pitching – it was all West Fork in the end on Thursday, June 9. “Last night when we didn’t have anything predicted and we got rained out with lightning and thunder,” Thompson said. “This morning, when I saw there was a chance

of it, I didn’t want to take the chance and get it in. “JV kids now are going to have a game under the lights, so that will be a fun feeling for them, as well.” Clarksville coach Zach Bergman, if he had his choice, would continue to play varsity first. “I don’t know what it is, but we’ve played JV first a couple times this year and the games haven’t been good,” Bergman said. “GMG we played first, lost 9-0 and came out flat; North Butler, we lost 7-2, came out flat. It definitely helps when we play varsity first in my opinion because the guys have a chance to not settle down, I guess. “They are too relaxed when we play JV first and have the tendency

to…mess around.” It showed as the Indians and starter Caden Hobson held the Warhawks to a single run in the first three innings and then the home team took a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth. Hobson struck out five, including West Fork’s top two hitters, Rylan Fleshner and Clay Emhoff. But in the fourth, Hobson gave up three runs on three hits and walked one before yielding to Tanner Gilbert on the mound in the fifth. “We kind of ran out of pitching,” Bergman said. “We had a long week and we don’t have (Dakota) Garretson, as you know (who was on a school Washington D.C. trip). Walks, passed balls, plus they have a deep backstop, so it was tough there. Just different things like that. Hobson gave us a good outing, but it was as far as he can go.” See WF BASEBALL: Page 13

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2016

WF BASEBALL Gilbert had trouble getting the third out and left with the bases loaded in that fateful third inning for a battery switch. Matt Nelson came on and went on to walk the next batter and an error brought in the final two runs to put an end to the contest. In that inning, West Fork worked four walks and was hit with a pitch. “As the game went on we did a better job of adjusting to their pitcher and pitches,” Thompson said. “We were a little more patient at the plate, we sat back a little more and helped get contact, so that was a positive to see our kids were aggressive as the game went on as well.” Emhoff, West Fork’s starting pitcher, struck out six Indian batters, but ran into a little trouble in the fifth to be lifted for Fleshner after he left the bases loaded with the only Clarksville run on an RBI single by Jordan Myers. “His pitch count got up a little high – we had a certain count we were going to use – so then Rylan came in and did a good job of pitching for us when he gets the opportunity,” Thompson said. “Last two times he’s come in he’s done a good job in relief for us.” Clarksville left a total of seven base runners throughout – four in the first three innings alone. “We got guys on with walks and a few singles, Pacen had a pretty good hit, but they had a good pitcher going; a good team, good defensively,” Bergman said. “It’s tough to advance guys like that. I knew it would be a tough game just looking at their prior results, they’ve been putting beatings on a couple teams bigger than us. “We haven’t done a very good job of that all week, just leaving guys on. Like against Riceville (Wednesday) night. Something we have to improve on, for sure.”

ƒ West Fork outscores visitors 30-2 in home tourney BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – Saying that West Fork’s baseball team played well in all areas of the game during its Saturday home tournament is an understatement. The Warhawks ran their record to 8-1 with a 12-2 opener over AGWSR in six innings and then closed out the literally steaming-hot day with an 18-0 drubbing of Belmond-Klemme in four. “First thing, the two pitchers that we had throwing today did a great job throwing strikes,” West Fork Coach Lance Thompson said. “Defense did a good job behind. I’m not sure if we had any errors or not, but they were solid behind the pitching. It gives the pitchers so much more confidence.” Surprisingly, West Fork had a pair of errors in the second inning in the rout of the Broncos, but those came to naught as Lukas Wogen picked the first runner off of first and then, after giving up a hit with two outs, got the B-K No. 8 hitter to fly out to center. With 10 hits against the Broncos and 15 in the opener against the Cougars, all but one of the Warhawks’ starting lineup had at least one hit throughout the day. All of them reached base, however. “Offensively, we had guys who hadn’t been hitting finally started clicking a little bit and putting the bat on the ball,” Thompson said. “It’s fun to see.” Caleb Cameron four-hit the Cougars, walking three in the two-run sixth before West Fork answered with three runs in the bottom half of the inning to put an early end to the game. West Fork began with a five-run opening inning as it batted around. It wouldn’t be the last time it did so that day. “We didn’t play heads up that game,” AGWSR coach Darwin Pfaltzgraff said. “The first inning we gave them too many easy pitches to hit. They are a good hitting team and always have been. Lance does a good job teaching them how to hit. “We didn’t help ourselves, either, as far as hitting the ball. We were lunging for everything, a little off-balance, one of our downfalls this season, too, is hitting. There are some games where we hit great and other games that we don’t look as good. We keep fighting, keep getting there.” AGWSR salvaged its day by getting out to a big 10-1 lead and then holding off the Broncos as they rallied in the fifth and sixth innings, scoring five in the sixth to cut the lead to 10-9, leaving the tying run in scoring position as eighth grade starter Luke Starr struck out the final two batters. “It’s been the way we’ve done it,” coach Pfaltzgraff said. “Either we give up big leads or fight back from being down, but that is one thing I like about these guys – they don’t quit – they are going to play the game until it’s over.” According to coach Pfaltzgraff, it was Starr’s first varsity start.

struck out six and held B-K to three hits before running into trouble in the sixth. He threw 115 pitches. “He (Starr) is a good pitcher and he’s going to throw strikes for the good part of the game and being out in this heat,” coach Pfaltzgraff said. “I knew the pitch count would catch up with him sooner or later and it showed. I was hoping he could get out of that inning without giving up the lead and we were able to get that far. That made me a little bit more comfortable, not as comfortable as I’d like.” Nathan Karsjens came on in relief of Starr and induced a ground out to short before striking out the final two batters for the save. “This is his first year varsity and he didn’t play baseball at all the last two years,” Pfaltzgraff said of Karsjens. “So third time now pitching varsity and I knew he could throw hard and throw strikes. Unfortunately, in the past he hadn’t been that

much of a control guy, but I had to give him a chance to do it because we’re kind of thin on pitching right now…so hopefully he could do what he did and he came through.” But the day belonged to the dominant Warhawks, who shrugged off the 90-degree heat with a heat index of 96. The top four batters in Thompson’s lineup, Reese Halloran, Clay Emhoff, Rylan Fleshner and Dawson Zeitler, all had multiple hits combined in their two games. “It is very hot, but they did a good job of putting that out of their mind and playing the game of baseball and playing it hard,” Thompson said. “We were aggressive on the bases, we made sure we were paying attention and any time we could take another base, we did. “The key thing is I think our younger guys stepped up, too. It’s easy for a younger player not to perform, but we put people in positions they were not familiar with and they stepped up. It’s a fun thing to see.”

Bulldogs 1-2 at Carroll Tourney CARROLL – Hampton-Dumont’s baseball team scored 37 runs in three games at the Carroll Tournament last weekend, but emerged with a lone win as the Bulldogs went to 3-8 overall. Coach Matt Lokenvitz’s team opened with an 18-8 loss to Carroll Kuemper in six innings as H-D had plenty of offense, but had trouble keeping the Tigers off of the bases. Later Saturday, the Bulldogs scored their only victory of the weekend, storming back from a 6-2 deficit to take a 10-6 lead. H-D tacked on what turned out to be much-needed runs in both the sixth (one) and seventh (six) as it held on for a 17-12 triumph against Coon Rapids-Bayard.

Bulldogs pound IF-A for first NCC win IOWA FALLS – Hampton-Dumont earned its first North Central Conference win in a big way. They started out with a five-run uprising in the first and then in the sixth inning, en route to a 11-1 road triumph of Iowa Falls-Alden. The Bulldogs pounded out 12 hits, led by a 3-for-4 night by No. 9 hitter Spencer Clark, who also drove in a pair of runs, as they improved to 2-4 overall, 1-1 in the NCC. Much like its first win of the season, H-D had multiple hits, though none for extra bases in overwhelming the Cadets. Johnny Guerrero, Jacoby Mutschler, Nate White and Caleb Chaney each collected two hits. Guerrero and Trey Swaney also drove in a pair of runs. Chaney also earned his first win on the mound, scattering four hits, allowing no walks and striking out two. The only run he gave up was unearned.

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.

Marie “Lisa” Peak On Tuesday, September 7, 1976, Marie “Lisa” Peak was found lying face down in a ditch in rural Bremer County. The 19-year-old Wartburg College sophomore had been sexually assaulted and, according to autopsy findings, died of suffocation and a broken neck. None of Peak’s clothing was found at the scene. Her body was located beside a gravel road a quarter mile north of Waverly’s city limits. Peak was majoring in journalism at Wartburg College in Waverly and had returned to the campus for a new school year on September 5. Friends last saw Peak the next afternoon when Peak said she was going shopping at the Willow Lawn Shopping Center in Waverly. When she didn’t return to her dorm, the friends reported her missing. Earlier in the year, Peak had provided information to authorities regarding a sensational sex and extortion scheme. The information led to the arrest of Mason City used car salesman John Joseph Carmody, Jr. Carmody had blackmailed more than a dozen women into having sex with him, using threats of mafia retaliation if they refused. Peak had spent her May term working as a reporter for the Clarksville Star. She and Iowa writer Chuck Offenburger had planned to write a book about the blackmail scheme, and on

August 23 had written Carmody of their plans. The week before Peak’s murder, Offenburger received a letter from Ted Enabnit – a Mason City attorney who represented Carmody in the court proceedings – stating “Mr. Carmody and his professional writer associates are and will produce the appropriate literary work to tell Mr. Carmody’s story from the mass of accumulated materials.” Offenburger said Peak had received threats after Carmody’s imprisonment from women who said they loved Carmody and wanted to marry him. Many wondered if Peak’s murder might be connected to two other Waverly homicides. Julie Ann Benning of rural Clarksville disappeared the day after Thanksgiving in 1975; the 18-year-old’s nude and decomposed body was found the following March in a roadside ditch just six miles from where Peak’s body would later be dumped. A third unsolved murder occurred five years earlier when the partially clad body of Valerie Lynn Klossowsky, 14, was found south of Waverly. Both Benning and Klossowsky had been strangled. On May 7, 2010, state and Bremer County officials exhumed Lisa Peak’s body with hopes of discovering new DNA evidence. They found that Peak’s coffin was too broken down and her body too deteriorated to preserve her killer’s DNA.

Zeitler, who struck out six and walked none, helped out his own cause by going 3-for-4 at the plate, including a double, three RBI and scored a run. He had plenty of help as coach Lance Thompson’s team combined for 10 hits with a pair of hits for Rylan Fleshner and Zach Laudner. Clay Emhoff also hit a run-scoring triple.

HUMBOLDT – A number of highly-regarded wrestlers and mixed martial artists from across the country – including a world champion – are set to compete in the Frank Gotch World Catch Championships on July 3 in Humboldt, hometown of Gotch. The event is being held under the auspices of the Catch Wrestling Alliance (CWA) headquartered in Los Angeles. The CWA has already played host to two major tournaments, but this is the first one that will have Gotch’s name attached. “We are tremendously excited about this event and the way it is shaping up,” said Dr. Raul Ramirez, executive director of the CWA and a catch wrestling instructor and practitioner. “Catch wrestling was the top form of wrestling in America in the early part of the 20th century, and Frank Gotch was its foremost star. He is the Babe Ruth or the Muhammad Ali of this sport.” Ramirez said the tournament will include five weight classes with four contestants per weight class. There will also be one division for women, with no weight limit. The event is being held at Humboldt High School beginning at 9:30 a.m. and is being co-sponsored by the Gotch Statue Committee and the Frank Gotch Wrestling Club, along with IAwrestle. Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for kids age 10-18. (Kids age 10-and-under are free). Matches will be 20 minutes long and the primary way an athlete can win is with a joint-lock submission or a three-second pin. If neither happens during the time limit, then the referee will pick the winner based on aggressiveness. Kicking, hitting and choke holds are not allowed. The top three place winners will receive a medal with Gotch’s image on it, attached to a ribbon. All participants will receive a certificate for framing. Among the contestants signed up to date are Curran Jacobs, captain of the 2011 Michigan State University team; Nick Caggia, a 315-pounder who is called ‘Nick the Giant’; Travis Newaza, who won the heavyweight division of the West Coast King of Catch Wrestling tournament in San Diego; Adam DeHart of North Carolina (17-10 in MMA competition); Travis Wiff out of Rochester, Minn., a former all-American wrestler at both Mankato State and Rochester Junior College; Bruce Wilson of Waterloo, former state wrestling champion and a black belt in karate; and Ned and Christoper Morales, a father and son wrestling duo who train under Ramirez. Headlining the women’s open division is Laura Anderson, a U.S. grappling champion who won a gold See GOTCH TOURNEY: Page 15

Reader of the Week at the Hampton Public Library is Jose Eduardo Ocampo, age 7, and going into the second grade. Jose is the son of Jamyn and Jose Ocampo and his favorite subject to read about is dinosaurs. Library Fun Fact: Andrew Carnegie built a total of1,946 libraries in every state except Rhode Island. There were also libraries built in the District of Columbia and the territories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Most of the libraries are in the Midwestern states of Indiana (164) and Illinois (114), but only 99 were built in Iowa. Of those 99, only 51 are still libraries. A conservative estimate of the size of the reading public making use of Carnegie libraries in the United States a generation after he began his library program would be 35 million persons a day.

June is Great Outdoors Month The 2016 summer recreation season is just getting started and there are plenty of days ahead to enjoy the outdoors. Gov. Terry Branstad recently proclaimed June as Great Outdoors Month, encouraging all Iowans and visitors to take the time to enjoy the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational opportunities, take in its scenic beauty and make a commitment to stewardship of our natural resources. Great Outdoors Month is designed to focus on the importance of simple outdoor activity and appreciation of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources, by promoting biking, swimming, hiking, paddling, fishing, hunting, boating, bird watching, camping and general nature exploration of our lakes, prairies, woodlands, rivers and wetlands. The economic impact of outdoor recreation nationally exceeds $650 billion in annual expenditures, and in Iowa, it supports an estimated 105,000 jobs. Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks, forests and wildlife areas reflect the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural and cultural history and attract millions of recreationists each year. Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state parks alone expect to host more than 900,000 overnight stays and nearly 15 million day visits this year.

CAL Over 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathered June 8 in the Latimer Community Center. Since the center was being used for the primary election on Tuesday, the dinner was postponed until Wednesday. There was a smaller crowd than usual. Norma prepared a puzzle sheet for the groups enjoyment. Phyllis prepared another delicious meal: meat loaf, baked potatoes, pea salad and bread. Cherry-chocolate cake and ice cream were served for dessert. Mardell provided the ice cream in honor of her late-May birthday. Pastor Lindsey of Immanuel U.C.C. gave devotions and the table prayer. Diana and Donna served the tables. The questions of the day were: What country gave the Statue of Liberty to the United States? What year did it arrive? There was no program planned, so the time was spent visiting and socializing. The next dinner will be held on Tuesday, June 21. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. It arrived in the United States in 1885.

f the surge in barbecue and smoking competitions across the country is any indication, grilling has become an art form. This Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, grab dad and gather around the grill or try a new technique thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising in popularity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; smoking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to create a masterpiece meal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and plenty of memories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; together. From secret marinades to tricked out grills and smokers, competitive smokers know there is a near ritualistic approach to teasing the perfect flavor out of a premium cut of meat. Follow in the footsteps of those pit masters and smoke like a pro with these tips from Omaha Steaks Executive Chef Karl Marsh.

Start with style The first step is deciding how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to prepare your meat. Consider stepping up your game by smoking your meat. Smoking is a popular choice because it infuses flavor throughout the meat, while extended cook times at low temperatures make it extra tender. Another advantage is the chance to create a wide range of unique flavors using wet and dry rubs, as well as seasoned wood chips and planks.

Choose your cut Virtually any meat can be smoked, but the most popular cuts of meat to smoke are brisket, ribs, pork shoulder or turkey, all of which are typically large in size. Guarantee a great experience with Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking or Whole Pork Butt, which were created with the competitive barbecue and smoking circuit in mind.

Ready your rub Rubs are often used to add flavors and surface texture to a cut of meat. For best results, brush meat with cooking oil or another liquid ingredient (such as yellow mustard) before adding the rub. Rinse bristket with vinegar, then Spread the rub on a clean plate water. and place the meat on it. Coat both sides with the rub by gently pressing the meat on the plate.

Set up the smoker Some pit masters consider their equipment as vital an ingredient as the meat or flavorings they choose. Preparation varies from one recipe to the next, but one constant Dry meat and prepare rub. is the importance of maintaining a steady temperature. As you prepare your charcoal, be conscious of where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll place any wood chips or other flavor enhancers for maximum impact.

Slow and steady Sensational flavor takes time to build, so plan to dedicate several Coat meat generously with rub. hours to your task. Often, smoked foods require foil wrapping for at least a portion of the cook to retain moisture. Plan to check in at regular intervals to restock wood chips, flip or rotate meat and apply a fresh coat of seasoning or spices. Find more tips and recipes perfect for a smoking Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebration at omahasteaks.com. Inject brisket with marinade.
