Hampton Veterinary Center moves forward after Flickinger retirement By Nick Pedley The Hampton Veterinary Center is now without its long-time owner and associate, Dr. Richard Flickinger, after he hung up his stethoscope for WKH Ă€QDO WLPH ODVW ZHHN Flickinger retired for good to focus on his health following 31 years of practicing animal medicine. In October 2012, he sold the practice to Dr. Zach Vosburg who had worked DORQJVLGH )OLFNLQJHU IRU Ă€YH \HDUV prior to the ownership change. Flickinger stayed on as an associate for the past year, but decided to call it quits this fall. “It just got to be too much,â€? said Flickinger. “I don’t know what I’ll miss the most. I’ll certainly miss all my clients, and also working with all the great people out there.â€? Flickinger began his career in Hampton after receiving his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State University in 1982. He worked at the Hampton Veterinary Center under Dr. Doug Anderson IRU Ă€YH \HDUV EHIRUH SXUFKDVLQJ the practice in 1987. Health issues prompted Flickinger to sell the practice and scale back his involvement, but he remained active at the clinic for the past year. “As the owner, you’ve got other

We take things one at a time, and we’re basically trying to bring this practice up to speed to keep it competitive with the other practices in the area,â€? he said. Technology additions, ownership switches and facility upgrades haven’t been the only thing that’s changed at the vet clinic this year. Dr. Renee Bertrum was added to the staff as an associate in September, and has since become a valuable member at the clinic. According to Vosburg, Bertrum specializes in smaller animals, but doesn’t shy away from livestock. She grew up on a cattle farm and is accustomed to working with larger animals. “She’s kind of what I’d call a utility player, which is nice to have,â€?

U.S. Senate hopeful David Young stops in Hampton By Nick Pedley He’s visited 96 of Iowa’s 99 counties, but David Young knows he still has a long road ahead of him if he’s to secure the Republican Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate in the June 2014 GOP primary. “It’s a work ethic I learned from Senator Grassley – get out there, see the people and listen to them,â€? he said. Young stopped in Hampton on Friday and visited with locals about issues facing Iowans and the nation as part of his Senate campaign. He threw his hat into the ring after long-time Iowa Senator Tom Harkin announced he wouldn’t seek re-election after his term expires in 2015. Five other candidates are vying for the Republican nomination, and Young said he’s been campaigning fervently to set himself apart from WKH FURZGHG Ă€HOG “I understand the federal issues that are going on and how they impact Iowans, and I’ve got courage and leadership to take on those issues,â€? he said. “I’ve been there, I’ve got solutions and I’m ready to work.â€? Young, 45, is a native of Van Meter. He earned his college degree from Drake University and began his political career with the 1992 Bush-Quayle presidential campaign. He worked his way up the ranks on Colorado Senator Hank Brown’s VWDII DQG ODWHU EHFDPH Ă€QDQFH GLrector and campaign manager for Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky. He eventually became Bunning’s Chief of Staff, and later moved on to become Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley’s Chief of Staff in 2006. He’s still trying to distinguish himself from his fellow GOP candidates, but Young wasn’t naĂŻve about the competition looming on the other side of the fence. He said numerous things separate him from Democratic frontrunner Bruce Braley, who’s

currently vying for his party’s Senate nomination. Young claimed Braley’s record in the U.S. House of Representatives proved the Congressman was in favor of Obamacare, a carbon emissions tax and higher overall taxes, amongst other things. “He likes a bigger government approach to our problems, and I like to give people more opportunity, freedom and let markets decide these things‌I’m for empowering people,â€? he said. Young felt the budget, stagnant job growth and the escalating national debt will continue to plague the country in the years to come. He also said Obamacare needed to be reformed, and noted numerous areas where he differed from the law. He believes prohibitions on policies across state

lines should be dropped, medical liability laws should be loosened and more emphasis should be placed on health savings accounts. “It’s not ready for prime time,â€? Young said about Obamacare. “I’d like to repeal it and start over with other solutions.â€? Throughout the course of his campaign, Young said Iowans expressed anxiety over the national debt and concern regarding Congress’ failure to pass a farm bill. He also said Congress’ failure to pass a budget and work coherently has created what he GXEEHG WKH ´WUXVW GHĂ€FLWÂľ ² $PHULcans have lost faith in their legislators after years of poor spending habits and sluggish progress. “We have to do regular order,â€? he said. “Providing Republicans take control [of the Senate], I will say to

my leadership, ‘Let’s get on track to get a budget, let’s get the appropriations bill done so we don’t have a shutdown, so we don’t come to these loggerheads, these manufactured crises.’ “ His ticket to U.S. Senate’s chambers is far from punched, but Young said he was ready for the challenge ahead of him. “To me, it doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you’re on. Republican or Democrat, you were sent there by the taxpayer and owe the taxpayer to spend their money wisely and advocate for them,� he said. “I’m not walking in there wide-eyed. I know the institution and how to work for Iowans and advocate for them right away.�

Local man finds dream car at classic Chevy auction in Pierce, Neb. By Jeff Forward Local resident and classic car enthusiast Jeff Spear has always wanted a classic 1950s era Chevy. Now, after attending a history-making car auction at Lambrecht Chevrolet in Pierce, Neb., he has that dream car – a 1955 Chevy 210 Post Del Ray with a V-8 engine and automatic transmission. “I’ve wanted a ‘55 Chevy since I was 15 years old,â€? local resident Jeff Spear said. “There was one in a guy’s yard and I took my dad over there (to buy it) and he said, ‘absolutely not.’â€? The auction the Spear and is wife Tracy bought the car at was held at Lambrecht Chevrolet in Pierce, Nebraska, and was attended by as many as 15,000 people over several days at the end of September. The dealership – owned by Ray Lambrecht – featured as many as 500 classic Chevy vehicles including Corvettes, Corvairs, Impalas, various trucks, and other Chevy models. The vehicles ranged from ones that had hardly been driven – some with only one mile on their odometer, to others that were used with many thousand miles. The highest price paid for a vehicle was $140,000 for a 1958 Chevy Cameo pick-up truck that had 1.3 miles on it. The vehicles had sat unused in ÂżHOGV DQG ZDUHKRXVHV LQ WKH VPDOO rural town, which added to their value and uniqueness. The dealerships owner had an unusual policy about selling certain vehicles, which resulted in all the classic models being stockpiled over the years. “A couple of guys at church told me we should go out to the auction,â€? Jeff Spear said. “We put it off then ZH ÂżQDOO\ VDLG ÂľZH VKRXOG JR RXW there.’ We tried to make reservations in Pierce, and they just laughed at

– harvest gold and India ivory. “It’s got a little cancer in the WUXQN D OLWWOH FDQFHU RQ WKH Ă€RRU ´ Jeff Spear said. “It’s an automatic, it’s only got 29,000 miles on it. We were one of the lucky ones, this still had air in the tires.â€? “This is going to be a classic restore, we’re going to keep it mostly stock with a few upgrades to make it drive nice,â€? Jeff Spear added. “I don’t do body work. We’re going to take the motor and tranny out and we’re going to go through those.â€? The vehicle will make a welcome addition to the couple’s growing car collection –which includes classic Camaros, trucks and various other vehicles - but Jeff Spear said this one is special. “With 29,000 original miles on it, we’re the second owner,â€? he said. Âł:KHUH GR \RX ÂżQG WKDW"´ For his wife, who admitted she’s become more of a car lover over the years, the vehicle is a chance to have fun. “This will be a good project when it’s done,â€? said Tracy Spear. “

Chronicle Editorial

Kudos for allowing vets to see their memorial

In such heightened times of bitter partisanship and extreme disorder within the federal government, it’s easy to lose sight of certain things that are truly imSRUWDQW :HœUH ¿[DWHG RQ WKH QDWLRQœV EXGJHW DQG QHZ health care law, and a case of tunnel vision has somewhat skewed our priorities. However, a group of persistent veterans provided a breath of fresh air last week when they refused to let the government shutdown affect their visit to the National World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. An Honor Flight group comprised of Iowa and Mississippi WWII veterans – with the help of a few members of Congress – pushed past the security guards and barricades Oct. 1 after the government closure temporarily shuttered the monument’s doors. No one interfered with the bunch, and they were able to visit the memorial built in their honor peacefully without tourists or other hassles. It must have been a heart-warming scene watching nearly 200 veterans in their 80s and 90s stream into the empty memorial. Some had walkers and canes, others were in wheel chairs. It would have taken a lot of nerve to deny these brave Americans entrance into the monument, and a tip of the hat is necessary to the Honor Flight assistants and security guards who stood up (and aside) for the veterans during a situation beyond their control. We like to gripe about our legislators, especially in times like these. However, a degree of gratitude should be extended to those that assisted in getting WKHVH YHWV LQ WR WKH PRQXPHQW 2EYLRXVO\ WKH EHQH¿W for the Congressmen was twofold: help these men in to the memorial and look good doing it. Even so, the event provided us a brief respite from all the monotonous bickering spewing from the capitol during these past few weeks. Our legislators aren’t always the callous policy-driven grouches they make themselves out to be, and last Tuesday’s development proved they actually care about things other than battling their opposition. It’s easy to get caught up in all the commotion of the shutdown. Some people are greatly affected, while others remain relatively untouched. However, it’s stories like this one that help bring context to the situaWLRQ DV D ZKROH 7KH JRYHUQPHQWœV ¿QJHUV WRXFK DOO facets of our everyday lives – be it our national parks, federal agencies or other services. There’s a lot of WKLQJV SHRSOH GRQœW WKLQN DUH EHQH¿FLDO RU HYHQ ZRUWK funding, and it’s obvious some fat could be trimmed. However, completely shutting down is by no way the proper method to operate a functioning country. These YHWV H[SHULHQFHG WKDW ¿UVWKDQG EXW LWœV IDLU WR VD\ WKH\ earned the right to ignore any sort of lockdown at a memorial constructed to celebrate their service. The Honor Flight is one of the most noble projects of recent memory. The Greatest Generation is aging, and we’re losing more and more each year. It’s obvious many of them wouldn’t have gotten to see Washington’s breath-taking memorials commending them and others who’ve served without the program’s efforts. Congressional gridlock and a government shutdown shouldn’t stop our country’s best and bravest from visiting these national monuments, and thanks to some stubborn vets and persistent politians, it didn’t. Amidst all the legislative chaos and partisan divide, it seems there’s still some common sense and sympathetic hearts left in Washington D.C. after all.

A “shout out� to the cross country team

Proud of Hampton

To the Editor: I just wanted to give a “shout out� to the HD Cross county team. As I was out and about on my walk today I happened upon the team as they were out for practice on a portion of the bike trail. I was truly inspired with the shouts of encouragement I heard from several of them as they were meeting some of their fellow teammates that were obviously a distance behind them. I can name a few of the students but honestly, I was greeted with a “hi� or a smile from many of them! Wonderful to an observer of these spontaneous acts of kindness and encouragement! I don’t think we often take the time to say words of encouragement about our young people and our school staff members! Thanks for the work you do! Kim Hanson, Hampton

To the Editor: I am a 2004 graduate of Hampton-Dumont High School. I currently live and teach English in southern Iowa. My parents still live in Hampton, and I try my best to visit whenever possible.

Shutdown Smutdown I’ve been asked to comment on the federal government’s partial shutdown and looming debt ceiling debate. I’m humbled. But I have to fall back on basic principles for an answer. The question could have been, “Do you believe in stealing?â€? Because what does the federal government really do? As mentioned in a previous column they tell workers they may not work for less than $7.25 per hour. If a potential employer can’t turn a SURÂżW SD\LQJ WKH IHGHUDO JRYernment says the worker must remain unemployed. Would you be in favor of shutting down government programs that steal our freedom to work? How about government programs that have replaced fathers with paperwork and street gangs, like the welfare state has done for a huge portion of urban America? I remember sitting at a bus stop in Oakland and asking a black teenager, “What have you been up to?â€? He said he’d been robbing white folks to make up for past misdeeds to his people. This may not sound like a direct result of the welfare state but it uses the same concept of redistribution set by its example. We certainly wouldn’t condone such behavior. Yet if we use the federal government to conduct business in the same way, is it alright? At least that kid had the guts to go out and do it himself. In a study of American households from June of this year, only ten percent had retirement accounts

adequate to provide anything but a meager existence or a life of drudgery until death. Would this have happened if there was no Ponzi scheme disguised as a retirement investment called Social Security? The false sense of security obviously played a part in our lack of concern for the future. One of the essential services still funded is military recruitment. Really. In a country already spending about as much as the rest of the world combined for this thing they call defense. Even CIA reports state that the 9/11 attacks were a result of blow-back (retaliation by radicals from U.S. occupied lands). What is really essential about all these services provided by the federal government are the livelihoods of people employed to provide them and the people who receive them. 7KH LQHIÂżFLHQF\ DQG ZDVWH FUHDWHG by services funded through coercion rather than mutual consent is largely ignored, as if they are as natural as growing grass. Maybe they are. Our system of government is now widely described as a democracy, where theft is legitimized by a vote. The transition of services from the private sector to the public one is unchecked by that “damn piece of

paper,� as G.W.Bush described The Constitution. There are clearly too many who don’t realize the impact of the waste created by big government. The most vocal opponents to big government still call for reform, rather than elimination of all these programs. Those who understand that reform only slows this cancer are marginalized and considered insane. That is because there is really no way out. The good folks employed by and served by the behemoth have debts to pay and families to support. A grand plan to wean ourselves is even more beyond reach than a plan to externally manage an economy properly at all. The services cut back in the shutdown are mostly done so as theater. The $2 billion NSA spy center in Utah has opened despite the shutdown. A $98,000 outhouse was built in Alaska in spite of this dire lack of funding. The government will continue to borrow. The Fed will continue to print (buy bonds that will never be paid with increased money supply that devalues that money we have saved). The dependent classes, from single moms to the heads of giant energy conglomerates, will continue to grow on the backs of responsible people until they are bled dry and we become lawless as a path to survival.

Dozens of Hampton fans enjoy ISU-Texas tailgate party By Jeff Forward Hampton fans of all ages gathered together Thursday Oct. 3 in Ames for a celebratory tailgate party before the Iowa State-Texas football game, bringing together parents, children, grandchildren and friends from Hampton and around Franklin County. “There’s a lot of people who went to Iowa State from Franklin County,� said Brad Staley who, along with local resident Ron Raney and several other locals, helps organize the tailgate parties during football season. “A lot of people have kids in school, so we all get together and enjoy the pre-game fun.�

More than three dozen people with Hampton connections descended on parking lot B5 outside Jack Trice Stadium on a beautiful fall afternoon to enjoy food and drink and celebrate all things Cyclone. There were three generations of Hampton residents there, ranging from Ron Raney and his son to Dennis Borcherding and his grandson. Everyone had fun socializing, eating tailgate munchies and imbibing in a few adult beverages in a responsible manner. The game turned out to be a thriller, as the Cyclones battled hard for the entire game only to lose 3130 after a controversial ruling by ofÂżFLDOV LQ WKH ÂżQDO PLQXWH

Borcherding said the tailgate was a fun event and gives Hampton residents who love the Cyclones the chance to have fun and celebrate their team with friends. “We see everyone during the week but it’s nice to go to the game and see folks,� Borcherding said of the tailgates in Ames. “A lot of times we have more fun outside than in the game. It’s just fun. It’s the best of both worlds, you just show up and eat.� Borcherding wasn’t too upset about the loss to Texas, but said it was typical of Iowa State football. “That’s the way it goes for ISU,� he said. “We don’t get the breaks.�

Most of my experience is limited to WKH Ă€UVW HLJKW years of my life, but this time of the year always seems to stir fond memories nonetheless. I was raised with rather conflicting LQĂ XHQFHV 0\ PRP¡V VLGH RI WKH family was in the newspaper business, but my dad’s side farmed. Some days I’d head up town to the RIĂ€FH EXW RWKHU WLPHV ,¡G KHDG RXW to the sprawling greens of my grandparents’ acreage. Both provided me a rather unique experience that has stuck with me to this day. Obviously, I chose the news industry over agriculture. My decision was a matter of circumstance more than anything else – my grandparents sold their farm, consequently leaving me with no other option than to pursue my interests elsewhere. However, I always have a few distinct memories that come back each time harvest season rolls around. Everything seemed so huge out at my grandparents’ place. The tractors were enormous beasts capable of moving anything that crossed their path; the barns were spacious castles that provided endless hours of fun; and the machine shed had a fascinating item in every corner. For a youngster like me at the time, nothing was bigger and more impressive than the farm. Like most little boys, tractors fascinated me. I had many toy models to play with, but nothing beat riding in the actual thing with my grandpa. I’d occasionally get to “driveâ€? the tractor, which essentially meant he let me put my hands on the steering wheel. The experience was monumental for me nonetheless. Telling my farm friends that I had driven a tractor gave me a little more credibility on the playground, and that was key growing up in a rural community. Chore time didn’t equate to much by the time I was old enough to help. My grandpa had quit raising livestock and strictly stuck to farming soybeans and corn. However, there were still a few things to do each morning. It was always fun gathering eggs from the chicken coop or feeding all the farm cats. The cats weren’t tame, but there was one particular hen that always let me pick it up and hold it. I felt like a big shot petting that chicken, as ridiculous as that may seem. All of these ag experiences came to a close when my grandparents decidHG WR UHWLUH 7KHUH ZDV QR Ă€QDO FKDSter for the farm until an auction was held to sell everything, but harvest time seemed to be the more poetic ending.

I also remember that my sister, who is six years my senior, drove grandpa’s pick-up with just her and me in it – a pretty big deal in those days.

Maybe it didn’t mean much to me back then, but it does today. Every now and then I’ll drive past the old farm when I go home for a weekend. I think back to all times I spent exploring the grove, helping my grandpa or climbing around some old piece of equipment. I’m glad I got to experience a few moments of farm life, even if they were rather brief. I loved the farm and everything on it, and I know many other “city kidsâ€? aren’t as lucky as I was growing up. I may only have a few memories of harvest season, but I know that it’s a special time of the year for many farm families – it marks an end to the growing season and all the hard work put in to a successful crop.

Fifty Years Ago October 17, 1963 Pat Dohlman was chosen as the homecoming queen for 1963 following coronation ceremonies at the Hampton High School Auditorium. Mayor pro tem Gerald Cheever of Macon, Missouri, and J.B Johns, manager of the U.S. Civil Defense depot of Hampton, watch the loading of part of the 12 miles of pipe that is being taken to Macon to alleviate a water emergency. One of the stacks has one mile of eight-inch, 20-foot long pipe. The work is being done by volunteer labor. Approximately 100 attended the hobby show and open house of the Senior Citizens held Tuesday at the IOOF hall. This is a new project of the organization and it was decided to hold it annually. Forty Years Ago October 11, 1973 Val Edgington and Tim Christensen were selected Queen and King of WKH 6KHI¿HOG &KDSLQ +RPHFRPLQJ festivities. Attendants were Steve Sukup, Donna O’Connor, Tom Koeningsberg, and Mary Mullen. Marion Denger of Dows was nominated to receive the American Farmer Degree, the highest degree presented by the National FFA Organization. Denger was nominated by the Iowa FFA Association and the nomination was approved at a recent meeting of the National FFA Board of Directors in Washington, D.C. The Iowa FFA Association also selected Denger to represent Iowa in the United States

Regional FFA competition for Star Regional Agri-businessman. Denger was selected by the Iowa FFA Association because of the quality of his agri-business program. The Leslie E. Meyer farm, located in Richland Township, set a new record for the highest price paid for farmland in Franklin County. The farm was sold recently to William G. Schermer of Latimer for $1,300 per acre. A total bid of $260,000 for the 200 acre farm. Thirty Years Ago October 13, 1983 Construction on the new basketball court at Progress Park began late last week as city crews prepared the site for concrete. The new courts will run north and south at the west of the present court. The Old Stone House, near Geneva, has been chosen for federal funding. The funds are provided as matching funds through a Historic Preservation Fund, grant-in-aid from the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service. The funds are available through a provision of the National Preservation Act of 1966. The Old Stone House, listed in the National Register of Historical Places, is among 35 sites in Iowa chosen for the grant. Franklin County Supervisor Dan Artley has submitted his letter of resignation to the Franklin County Board of Supervisors. Artley, who received a serious head injury in a fall at his home on June 17, has decided that he cannot actively resume his position of supervisor at this time. His resignation is effective October 15.

Twenty Years Ago October 14, 1993 The Three Hampton third-grade teachers have been invited to a state convention to show off a program they began this year that gets pupils more involved in the community. Pam Will, Terri McWilliams, and Jerry Buseman will attend the Iowa Association of School Boards’ 1993 convention. They will set up a booth along with other districts’ projects that were picked to be a part of the “Show and Tell — Share the Success� program. Pupils who need extra help staying in school or graduating should receive encouragement from a program approved by the Hampton School Board. The program, which call for hiring two teachers next year, is designed for kindergarteners through 12th graders who have a greater chance of dropping out or performing poorly. Some CAL seventh and eighth graders are working to improve their school by bringing classmates closer together. CAL Keys to the Future started during the summer. Its mission is to hold events for seventh and eighth graders to bring members of those two grades together for fun. Under the guidance of Ann Lupkes and Amy McNabb, the 10 students have planned activities throughout the year. Ten Years Ago October 8, 2003 The new Dumont Library is rapidly nearing completion, and the public will get a chance to see the facility

during an open house on Saturday, October 18. A ribbon cutting was set for 7:30 p.m. AFG Coatings in Hampton has long been recognized for its low-e glass. A new $2 million expansion at the plant will soon make that glass even better. The expansion, which is currently underway, is expected to be done by mid-December. One look at the Franklin County Courthouse clock tower is all that’s needed to show the project to restore the failing structure is already underway. Bids are being taken on the project, but the letting of those bids have been delayed a week. The architect felt the need to make some changes to the specs. Prelimary cost estimates provided to the supervisors by Bergland and Cram Architects, Mason City, predicted the restoration project would cost about $1.2 million. Five Years Ago October 8, 2008 Hampton-Dumont celebrated homecoming last week. Katy Speake

McCandless Aviation has been under contract with the city to operate the airport, but the company recently decided to close its Hampton location. City Administrator Ron Dunt said the city was weighing several options for future management of the airport. A pair of construction projects currently underway at Northern Pipe Products, Inc., at Hampton, will result in new capabilities and cost savings for the Fargo, N.D. based PVC pipe manufacturing business.

MASS PARTICIPATION BY STUDENTS AND STAFF MAKE FOR A COLORFUL HOMECOMING WEEK The 2013 Homecoming week is in the books, and while it went by quickly, the memories of crazy dress-up days and intense competitions will stay with H-D students and staff forever. The week was jam-packed with themes and activities beginning on Sunday night. Each class in the high school showed up in the afternoon to decorate their respective hallways in red, black, and white. After that, it was off to Aftershave volleyball where the boys in each grade played each other. The junior boys got the win. From there, the girls of the high school took LW WR WKH IRRWEDOO ÀHOG ZKHUH WKH\ SOD\HG HDFK RWKHU LQ ÁDJ football. The sophomore girls proved themselves the best, beating all of the other grades. The dress-up theme on Monday was color day. Each grade had a different color to dress in. Winners of color day were Brooklyn Plagge, Chace Klein, and Mrs. Eilderts. On Tuesday, students and teachers adorned their cowboy boots and belt buckles for western day. The senior group of Blake Brown, Hannah Petersen, Paige Wragge, and Katie Brolsma dressed as tumbleweeds and took home ÀUVW SUL]H IRU WKH VWXGHQW category. Mr. Sauke and Mrs. Bergeson shared the honors for the teachers. Monsters, superheroes, cartoon characters, and minions walked the H-D hallways on Wednesday for character day. Winners were Kendrick Suntken and Jessica Speake as Shrek and Fiona. The Math Department, made up of Mrs. Prantner, Mr. Aalbers, Mrs. Bergeson, and Mrs. Vosburg, were named the staff winners. The quartet dressed as the gang from Duck Dynasty. Thursday was a blast from the past as each class was asked to dress as a different decade. The freshmen were assigned the 50’s, the sophomores dressed as they would in the 60’s, it was the 70’s for

the juniors, and the seniors wore side ponytails and leg warmers for the 80’s. The faculty was assigned the Great Depression. Winners of decade day were Miranda Woltjer, Dayton Gooder, and Mrs. Kingland-Hanson. On Thursday night, the freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity volleyball teams took on Central Springs for their homecoming game. The varsity came up short in their pursuit of a homecoming victory. Friday was a busy but exciting day for students and faculty. The morning began with the annual pep breakfast in which the teachers served the students. The student body was also treated to the musical stylings of the faculty pep band. After the pep breakfast, students boarded buses or left on foot to complete their service projects in their advisory groups. They served the areas of Hampton, Dumont, Aredale, and Hansell, completing projects for businesses and community members. After lunch when students returned, it was time to go outside for the ÀUVW HYHU %DWWOH RI WKH $GYLVRries competition. Students and teachers had a great time playing giant games of Duck- DuckGoose, a football target throw, Telephone, and sack hop races. No single advisory was named the winner, but students were competitive. Friday afternoon, the student body watched as Elvira Cavazos and Jack Artley were named Homecoming King and Queen for 2013. Then, hundreds lined the streets for the homecoming parade, followed by a pep rally at Band Shell Park. Homecoming week was tapped off with a huge bulldog football victory over Central Springs 51-0. The dance team made their 2013 debut during halftime, and the H-D band entertained. The dance brought an exciting week to an end. So while Homecoming week was exhausting for all involved, everyone made it a week to remember forever.

SOPHOMORE GIRLS AND JUNIOR BOYS COME UP BIG WINNERS On Sunday, September 22nd, 2013 the biggest rivalry in sports had arrived. No, not the Iowa/Iowa State game or Alabama versus LSU. It was the Powderpuff and Aftershave games at H-D. The boys and girls teamed up by grade and WRRN LW WR WKH FRXUW DQG ÀHOG for some friendly competition. The boys tried their hands at volleyball, and the girls played football. It’s a tradition that goes back many years, and as always,

By Ciara Spradlin and Catie Corsello the games proved to be exciting match-ups that were entertaining and enjoyable. First, it was the boys volleyball game. In this round-robin competition, the juniors played the sophomores. That proved to be the night’s biggest rivalry. The juniors ended up beating the sophomores, but not by much. At the same time, the seniors were busy playing the juniors. The juniors swept them away. Junior Parker Claypool said his favorite part about the After-

shave volleyball game was beating everyone, while sophomore Colten Barz just enjoyed the good old-fashioned competition. Following Aftershave volleyball was the girls’ Powderpuff football games. First the sophomores played the juniors, while at the same time, the freshmen took on the seniors. It was the sophomores over the juniors in a 21-point victory and the seniors beat the freshmen. These were the most aggressive match-ups of the night, although it was good-hearted fun. After those

games the senior girls and the sophomore girls played. The sophomores earned another victory making them the night’s big winners. Sophomore Morgan Marshall said, “My favorite part of powderpuff was being coached by the boys.” While the rivalry between these classes is very real, after all the scrapes and bruises were tended to, everyone left Aftershave and Powderpuff with smiles on their faces, no matter win, lose, or draw.

Chase for the Cup: Bank of America 500 Preview Ironically, Charlotte Motor Speedway opened its gates the same year, 1960, as Atlanta Motor Speedway, now a sister track owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc. Not only was the track unique in its design, the track’s founders, Bruton Smith and Curtis Turner, made the announcement that the ďŹ rst event would be 600 miles in length. Today, it is the largest sports facility in the Southeast and has over 167,000 permanent seats, including 121 executive suites, and capacity for nearly 50,000 spectators in the inďŹ eld area. The speedway was the ďŹ rst superspeedway to host night racing in 1992. The race will be aired on ABC.

The battle between Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch was rekindled after Busch wrecked Keselowski on Lap 188 of Saturday’s Nationwide series race. “He’s a dirty driver; there’s no other way of putting it,â€? Keselowski said. Busch, who ďŹ nished fourth, found Keselowski’s use of “dirty driverâ€? ironic. “Brad Keselowski knows what dirty drivers are because he’s done it plenty of times,â€? Busch said. “I have yet to wreck a person on purpose.â€?

The fourth race in the Chase ended as it began, with Kevin Harvick out front. The driver of the No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet crossed the ďŹ nish line more than a football ďŹ eld ahead of runner-up Kurt Busch, with Jeff Gordon trailing Busch in third. Kyle Busch simply crashed, at a track that continues to bedevil him. With the win, Kevin Harvick moved into third place in the standings, 25 points behind Matt Kenseth. The victory was Harvick’s third of the season, his ďŹ rst at Kansas and the 22nd of his career. With a bizarre power failure in the last two laps, Jimmie Johnson failed to cash in decisively on Matt Kenseth’s skittishness. After the race Harvick said, “To sit on the pole and win the race, obviously, is a great weekend.â€?

Frankie Aliu: Green Bay: Packers win on the road to keep pace with the Bears and Lions. The defense forces some turnovers and Randall Cobb should have a huge game against a young Baltimore secondary. New England: Tom Brady will be poised to have a great game after a disappointing one at Cincinnati. Hopes to have Gronk back, which should be a huge help for the Patriots offense which has been struggling so far this year. Oregon: Don’t be surprised if the combined score is over 100 points; should be a very good game. Texas A&M: Johnny Football has over 500 yards, A&M wins comfortably. Texas Tech: ISU could get a break if Baker Mayfield doesn’t play because of injury and keep this game much closer. Nick Pedley: Baltimore: Sort of want to pick Green Bay here, but I’m going to go with the home team. New Orleans: Saints come marching in and win comfortably. Washington: I picked UW last week over Stanford. They were close, but no cigar. Texas A&M: Ole Miss not looking so hot after last week’s loss. Texas Tech: ISU could make it closer, I’m not sure. Don’t know much about the Red Raiders this year. Jeff Forward: Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers has too many weapons for ailing B-more defense. New England: It’s a battle of former Big 10 stars as Drew Brees and Tom Brady duke it out. I’m going with the Pats. Washington: UNLV had the Tark, UW has the Sark. Huskies rebound from difficult loss to Stanford with upset of Ducks. Texas A&M: Ole Miss can score with the best of them, but Manziel saves the day. Texas Tech: Cy can’t beat two Texas teams in one season. Kristi Nixon: Baltimore: Packers continue on their funk and go to 1-4. New England: As much as I can’t stand the Patriots, I think they win a close one. Oregon: I learned this from a former colleague: when in doubt, ‘Go Ducks!’ Texas A&M: Johnny Football remains hard to stop. Texas Tech: Season continues to get more difficult for the ’Clones. Ryan Harvey: Green Bay: Just have a feeling with the Packers this week. New Orleans: New England just isn’t the same without Wes Welker being Tom Brady’s top target. Oregon: The Ducks will continue to fly. Texas A&M: Manziel should have a big game against the Rebels. Texas Tech: While the first inclination is to pick the ’Clones, I’m not sure ISU is quite ready to pull off its annual upset yet.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ¿ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ¿gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Visitors in attendance were Craig Fuller, Sheriff Jason Johnson and Nora Kurtovic representing Pathways Behavioral Services. Mayor Mouw opened the time for public comment on non-agenda items. Mayor Mouw informed the Council that not long ago we had a request for a dust oil treatment. We declined the request since it is too late in the season. The Clerk was instructed to attach a note to next April’s calendar to place dust oil on the agenda for that month. As per direction from our June 13, 2013 City Council meeting, an electronic vote to accept the Community Bowl liquor license was held on August 21, 2013 with a vote of all ayes to approve said license. McKinney moved to approve the minutes from our August 8, 2013 Council meeting as published. Shear seconded. Motion carried, ayes all. Nora Kurtovic, Community Prevention Educator for Pathways, gave a presentation on social host law and prescription drug abuse and disposal. More Iowa counties and cities are adopting “social host� ordinances in the hopes of deterring teen drinking. She also noted the use of prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse is an increasing concern in Iowa and is the fastest growing form of youth substance abuse in America. She stated it is very important to secure any prescriptions and promptly dispose of any unused or outdated medications. Craig Fuller addressed the Council seeking their approval for the removal of his sidewalk. The Council tabled this item until our October meeting so more information can be obtained. The property owner at 615 Elm Street has failed to comply with the Council’s requests and is still in violation of the City of Dumont’s Code
