Delger provided this statement when asked why he was running and what goals and priorities Kanawha should look to the future with. “Kanawha is at a crossroads. In the next 5-10 years, will it die or rebound? We need economic development here. We must give visitors a reason to stop in Kanawha. We need people to take pride in this community and work for the betterment. “We also need to make some difficult decisions about the community’s future that will no sit well with some folks. We have a core of people invested in this community. We need more. Kanawha has potential, but we can’t yearn for the old days when things were different. They are gone.

I am running to give the citizens of Kanawha a voice. We need council members willing to discuss with citizens how they feel about issues and vote accordingly. We are elected to voice the concerns of the citizens, not to put through our own agenda. What do see as goals/priorities for your community for the next 4 years? How do you propose these issues be addressed? We need to address the issue of burning leaves and come up with a better solution. We need to do a better job of getting information out to citizens about items concerning the city. This could be accomplished

Kanawha Reporter launches new website, improved e-edition After much research and preparation, the Reporter launched its state-of-the-art website and e-edition subscription last week at www.kanawhareporter.com. The site is computer, iPad, and smartphone friendly, and will be updated often with local news, sports, death notices, weather, and other information. It also serves as a jumping off point for the Reporter’s Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as an easy way for the public to submit news like wedding and birth announcements. In the future, users will be able to buy photos they see in the paper through the website via a photo service called Smugmug. Photos will be available in almost any size and will arrive in the mail about a week after an order is placed. “I was very excited to help bring the Reporter’s online presence up-to-date,� said Mid-America Publishing web administrator Molly Angstman. “Its readers deserve a modern, easy-to-navigate site with current content.� According to Angstman, the best part of the new site is the improved e-edition, an online replica of the printed newspaper. “Users access the e-edition through a username and password, but otherwise it’s a lot like the normal paper.

Instead of turning pages with your hands, you just click with your mouse instead,� she says. “Or, if you’re on an iPad, you just tap the screen to keep reading.� “It will be very handy for area natives who have moved elsewhere, or for those who wish to use alternative methods to read the newspaper,� Reporter Publisher Ryan Harvey said. E-editions are handy for people who travel often or out-of-towners who don’t want to wait to receive the paper in the mail. Others just like the tech-savvy way of reading the news, says Angstman. “If there’s a link mentioned in a story or an ad within the e-edition, you can actually click on it and your browser will take you right to that link. That’s a cool interactive feature you can’t get with a printed paper, “ she said. Access to the e-edition is free for Reporter print subscribers. Those interested can contact Deb Chaney, the Reporter’s circulation manager, at 1-800-5581244 ext. 122 or mapcirculation@iowaconnect.com to request a username and password.

West Hancock to perform ‘Anne Frank and Me’ By Sarah Freesemann The West Hancock drama department’s fall play takes on a more serious production. The department will perform “Anne Frank and Me� next week, a play with a more serous script and message. The school’s past plays have been comedies and musicals, this fall the actors and their audience will experience a more emotional plot.

The play is a modern-day take on the classic story of Anne Frank. A group of high school students are studying The Diary of Anne Frank when one student, Nicole, suffers an accident and travels back in time to Paris in 1942. During her time in Paris, Nicole and her family are sent to Aschwitz where she meets Anne Frank on the train ride to the concentration camp. West Hancock students have been busy not

only practicing for the performance over the past weeks, but also learning more about the Holocaust to allow them to get into character the best they can. The play is sure to be an emotional, educational and enjoyable production that all spectators and cast members will not forget. Performances will be Friday, November 1 and Saturday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. There will also be a soup

supper on Nov. 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the cafeteria. The cast members include: Alyssa Wood, Leah Christ, Emma Chizek, Uziel Romero, Sam Smith, Cassi Jackson, Nathaniel Jackson, Miriam Garcia, Dusty Kraft, Macey Harms, Taylor Glawe, Willie Kreitlow, Tre Lehoe, Brice Kudej, Natalie Wood, Danni Quastad, and Elizabeth Eckels.

Klemme City Council Candidates Time Flies When You Three positions on the Klemme City Council expire this year. Candidates for city council are incumbents Morris Crotty and Roberta Carolus. David J. Welsh and Kody Trampel are challengers. Here are their responses to the question: What do see as goals/ priorities for the Klemme community for the next 4 years? How do you propose these issues be addressed? Morris Crotty - I think the first priority is our sewer update to meet the new state requirements. I also think that we need to keep up on our streets and also to keep our water supply at a

high standard. We also need to watch our budget and to keep our community in good financial condition. We have a great community and I am proud to be a part of it. Roberta Carolus - The most important priority for Klemme is our wastewater treatment facility. We have no choice but to do this to comply with all the new DNR regulations. We have hired Veenstra and Kimm, Inc. to help us with this. Our two most economical options range in price from $0.8 million to $1.4 million. I do take people’s complaints to the council and will vote “no� if I do

A select group of 15 were given backstage passes to meet Vicky Anderson, B.B. King, and greet B.B. and Les Anderson on his private tour bus. Vicky and Les had their photo King and he also autographed their take with Mr. guitars.

not believe something is right for our town. David J. Welsh - My goal for the next four years is to help make Klemme a more attractive and safe community for families and all residents. There is a great foundation and I hope my contributions will help take it to the next level. Kody Trampel - One of my goals for the town of Klemme over the next four years, if elected, is community growth. Growth can be in many ways, whether that is population or business growth. There are many opportunities for affordable housing within the

community for the younger generation like myself. On the other side of growth, with business, there are many empty buildings along Main Street that would be great places for a small business to start up with potential to grow. One way I would address my goal is to propose a new committee within the community such as an Economic Development Committee. The purpose of this committee would be to work with new businesses looking for a place to start and possibly help with startup funding.

Donations for Hancock County 4-H 4-H is the most recognized youth development organization in our nation, with over 6 million young people involved. In Iowa alone 23, 771 youth participated in 4-H in 2021-2013. Hancock County is home to more than 175 of those 4-H members and nearly 40 4-H volunteers. More than 70 K-3 graders got to participate in Hancock County Clover Kids last year. Clover Kids is 4-H for the younger grades. They have group meetings where they begin to learn about being great leaders and citizens by doing fun crafts, activities, and more. Traditional 4-H is for youth grades 4-12. They meet with one (or more if they choose) of the 13 clubs in Hancock County. S o m e clubs m e e t based on location

and some clubs meet based on project. Right now Hancock County hosts seven robotic engineering clubs and one Shooting Sports club. Many 4-H and Clover Kids activities and events would not be possible without local support. Last year local supporters contributed over $3,000 to the 4-H program. This does not include the $10 per member that MaxYield contributes toward state membership fees. If you or your business would like to help support 4-H please contact the Hancock County Extension Office at 641-923-2856. 4-H sponsorship levels are: Platinum Sponsor $200 and above; Gold Sponsor - $100-$199; Silver Sponsor: $50 - $99; and Bronze Sponsor - $49 and below. Do you need more facts to be convinced that 4-H is a good investment? The 4-H

program has helped youth have fun while learning valuable life skills for over 100 years. The Tufts University’s Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development has proven 4-H to be beneficial for young people. This research has shown that youth in 4-H: Excel in school and sciences, get better grades; Are committed to improving their communities; Make healthier choices including, eating healthy, exercising more, lower drug, alcohol and cigarette use; Have less depression than peers. In 2012-2013 the following businesses supported Hancock County 4-H. Their contributions are greatly appreciated. Hancock 4-H is also very grateful for the many businesses, individuals, and community groups who have contributed numerous in-kind donations to the 4-H program.

Are Having Fun In the fall of 1930, 23 little girls and 20 little boys tearfully were torn from their mothers arms to start Kindergarten in the old grade school building. At that time, there were no pre-schools. The fall of 1940, 36 rural students joined the freshman class. On the evening of May 20, 1943, 73 bewildered bodies skipped across the stage to grasp their coveted high school diplomas from Supt. C.J. Christiansen. It was in the middle of WW II and a few young men were already in military service. Several years later, the school board gave each an Honorary Diploma. Two classmates were killed in action, and one a German War Prisoner. One sophomore died in a hunting accident. It was the first class in Clarion High School history to graduate wearing Caps and Gowns, and the last to have the Mantel Ceremony. One week before graduation, the Class presented an entertaining Variety Show before an estimated crowd of fifteen hundred. In 1939 and 1940, several classmates were in the high school band that received a First

and a Second, respectively, in the National Marching Band contest in Minneapolis and St Paul. During the senior year, the Class President was elected Governor of the high school. It was the second and last of such elections. During the past 70 years, the members paid annual dues of $5 and received a “Class Action� news booklet. For the construction of the Public Library addition, the Class gave $1,000. A contribution was made for the recent band uniforms. Every summer coffees were held on the 2nd Tuesday of June, July and August. The “National� Reunion was always on the 3rd Saturday in September; however, the 70th this year was held on September 14. This past summer Classmates were saddened by five classmates‘deaths, all within six weeks. The Archives of the Clarion Public Library has one volume of a continuing Class History and one volume of Pictures. For the Finale, the remaining two Classmates will fraternally toast the Great GHS Class of 1943!

Councilman says: Let’s look at the facts. By Ray Basset (Editor’s Note: Ray Bassett is a current member of the Kanawha City Council.) At the August 13 Kanawha City Council meeting, four of five members of the Kanawha City Council voted to support Mayor Terry Johnson’s recommendation to retain Chief Mark Hennigar and increase his base salary, eliminating required overtime, and eliminating comparable time off work in lieu of paying overtime (commonly called “comp time�). That difficult decision by the Council has generated a good deal of healthy interest in local government. A common misconception, based upon using the lowest possible payroll prior to the Council action, was that the Mayor recommended and that the City Council voted to give Chief Hennigar a $16,000 increase in pay. That misconception and others spinning off from it, is the reason I write this article. Someone said that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not to their own facts. Let’s look at the facts. Last year the City paid Chief Hennigar $ 52,500. That was comprised of a base salary, plus ten hours per week required overtime paid at straight time rate, plus buying back accumulated but unused comp time. While the Chief’s base pay was $40-$42,500 over the last five years, the job simply requires more hours of service than the base included. Chief Hennigar diligently performed the duties, and earned an average of $ 54,000. The revised pay scale adopted by the Council set the Chief’s pay at a firm $ 58,600. The legal requirements of the job were not changed so the job did not get smaller. In fact, the current definition of the Chief’s duties may require more or fewer hours of work but the Chief’s pay method was changed by the motion from an hourly rate to a salary. Mathematics was never my strong subject. I darn near failed trigonometry but was saved by a revival meeting at a Four Square Gospel Church. That’s another story. Trig and arithmetic are different. I can do arithmetic and only a liar, a cheat, or con man would try to sell the story that $ 58,600 is $ 16,000 more than $ 52,500. That is the facts. Did the police chief payroll change increase the taxes of every homeowner in Kanawha by $100 per year as some have claimed? Again, the facts are that the tax dollars to be spent for policing the town of Kanawha in the budget year 2013-2014 were set last winter during the budgeting process and public hearings were held prior to adopting the budget. The vote to adopt the budget by the Council was unanimous. Although most members of the Council supported the retention of Chief Hennigar on August 13th, support for the motion, which included the increase in pay, came only when a majority of the Council understood how the change could be made within the current year’s budget. In other words, the action was taken when it was clear that this would not increase the taxes of anyone by $100 per year this year or next year. That is the facts. At the September 10th Council meeting, the Council was told by a citizen that a remark I made at the August meeting, regarding the pay scale necessary to retain an experienced Police Chief, was a lie. The person critical of my statement proceeded to list a number of cities that pay beginning, inexperienced, uncertified, patrol officers in the $ 40,000 neighborhood give or take 5%. I do not doubt those numbers but this is a case of comparing apples to oranges. To compare the entry level, uncertified officer, starting pay with that of a certified Chief of Police with over ten years of experience is absurd. A fair comparison of even the first year requires not only the first year base patrol officers pay in Waterloo, Waverly, What Cheer, or any other town, but instead the entire first year

cost to employ a new patrol officer compared to the actual year end W-2 pay of an experienced officer with similar responsibilities. That is the facts. Using the recent experience of our neighbor to the north, the City of Britt, we can arrive at an estimate of what it will cost to employ a first year uncertified officer. The City of Britt, a Britt councilman told me, had 22 applicants for one opening. Eighteen showed up to take pre-employment tests. How many were qualified after completing the tests? Three. Of those three two were discovered to have negative factors that came up in back ground checks. Twenty-two applicants. Three to choose from and issues with some of those. Isn’t it obvious from Britt’s experience that qualified officers are not clogging mail boxes of small town police departments with applications? Only the delusional can expect Kanawha to find more and better qualified applicants than Britt. The City of Britt hired one of those applicants for $38,500 per year. Does that reflect the first year cost of that officer to the City of Britt? No, far from it. The Iowa Law Enforcement Academy certification cost, roughly $6,800 in tuition, fees, room and board, and required materials, must be paid by the City. Now the City has $45,300 invested in an unproven officer. The City of Britt further agreed to increase the officer’s pay upon successful completion of the training at the Law Enforcement Academy. Assuming six months of paying the officer about $1,500 per year more than the base starting pay, Britt will have about $46,000 invested in the officer at the end of the first year on duty. That is the facts. But is that the entire cost? If the City of Britt is in real need of the services of the new hire, Britt will have to buy the services he cannot render the City while he’s being paid to attend the Law Enforcement Academy. They will do that by paying other officer’s overtime or hiring part time (moon-lighting) officers. Let’s assume they pay others a conservative $5,000 in overtime to perform the duties requiring the new hire during the 15 weeks he attends the Academy. Now the first year cost of that new officer is not $38,500 but $51,000. They will buy a bullet-proof vest that is fitted to the individual for about $700 bringing the tab to about $ 51,700. What if he earns a meager $ 1,000 in overtime pay? Now it’s $52,700. Some cities buy weapons, tasters, belts, and even uniforms for officers. I don’t know what the City of Britt buys for officers, but if any of those things are done, the first year cost would easily pass $54,000. Many of those first year costs are not incurred in future years but if the person hired is good, some other entity will buy their services if Britt fails keep pay competitive. That is the facts. Let’s do a little more arithmetic. Compare what Kanawha required of our Chief of Police Chief versus what the City of Britt is asking of that newly hired officer. Kanawha required 50 hours per week. That is ten hours of overtime per week. Because of exceptions in the Federal Wage and Hour laws we were able to compensate those hours at straight time. At $ 38,500 per year the hourly rate is about $18.50 per hour. If the City of Britt uses time and one half, five hours of overtime would add up to $138.75 per week or, using 50 weeks (there would be no overtime if on vacation), $ 6,937.50 per year. Any candidate for office, who advocates replacing an experienced officer with a new, low cost officer, is in fact advocating for first year expenditure in the $ 55,000 neighborhood to put that man on the streets of Kanawha. Pretending otherwise and boasting that the City of Kanawha will save a lot of money by hiring a new police chief is either ignorance or an intentional

misrepresentation. That is the facts. Providing law enforcement for the City of Kanawha is required of the City Council by the Code of Iowa. If you believe your Council should obey laws then you must believe we will provide law enforcement. On August 13th the Council had to choose between options that 4 of 5 Councilpersons did not strongly favor. When the votes were cast they were for experience over experimentation. That is the facts. I mentioned earlier that the City of Kanawha, in order to RETAIN an experienced Chief, has found it necessary to pay an experienced Chief at a level comparable to deputy sheriffs. I stand by that statement. Experienced and competent officers will be poached by a Sheriff or larger police department. That good officer will leave for these reasons; better hours, less after hours hassle, better benefits, less responsibility, and more money. The one part of that set of reasons the Kanawha Council has much control over is the latter, the money. That is why the experienced leave towns like Kanawha or Britt and why these towns are so often left with no options accept that very expensive first year. Sheriff Dodd said his lowest paid deputy was earning “about $52,000� and cited uncompetitive pay scales as the primary reason small towns experience high turnover rates in police departments. That is the facts. Some may ask, “What makes you think, Ray Bassett, that the City of Kanawha couldn’t find a qualified, experienced officer for less than the salary proposed and voted for?� Experience and history! Look at where we’ve been over the last twenty years. You’ll find too many new hires. Chief Hennigar has served the City for 12 years. That means the City was served by five other Chiefs in the preceding 8 years. Some of those had Academy training, some falsified Academy training, some were slick, some were lazy, and some simply found themselves in the wrong job and soon came to hate it. Law enforcement has a high turnover or burn-out rate be it in Kanawha or elsewhere. There is nothing magic about 2013 that should lead anyone to believe we would save money by starting that cycle of hiring a new Police Chief every 15 months. Ignorance of that history does make one a responsible guardian of the public purse. Ignorance leads to rash short term decisions costing long-term dollars. That is the facts. Finally, I recall being cautioned that one should be careful of what you want. You just might get it. In this instance, some wanted to be rid of Chief Hennigar because he has done his job. Some wished him gone because they believed, in one situation or another; he failed to do his job. It matters little who the police officer is. If he does his job, some won’t like him. Ignorance of the responsibilities imposed on today’s officers leads some to think the old night watchman model is all Kanawha needs. Those obtuse persons will shortly realize that a person hired to do be primarily a night watchman will be criticized roundly for not watching speeders at 6:00 a.m., not being available at 3:30 p.m. to check out the mysterious white van parked near a playground, and failing to show up at the Courthouse during “bankers hours�. Soon someone who is now critical will look back over the last 12 years with the rose colored glasses time gifts us with and think, “I wish we could find an officer as good as Hennigar was!� That, I believe, is the facts. Before you vote in November please ask, “Who it is that has invested time, invested years of service, and invested personal fortune in this community?� Who is it that has that responds to fire calls, and EMS calls, made substantial

Authorities looking for burglary suspect The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office is asking the publc’s assistance in locating Randall Lee Lamoreux.

Schulz attended the meeting with his wife Cathie and daughters Lindsey and Caitlyn. “We are so pleased to have Dr. Schulz as our incoming president,� said Board President Toni Noah. “This is a very important day for the College.� After the announcement, Schulz signed his new contract, which begins Dec. 1. “I am so excited for this next step,� he said during a break from the meeting. “From the beginning, this just felt like the perfect choice for me and my family.� The NIACC Board has been searching for a new president after Dr. Debra Derr resigned

in June to become president of Mt. Hood Community College in Oregon. Former NIACC President Dr. David Buettner has been serving as interim since July 1. The NIACC Board had selected four finalists in September. In addition to Schulz, they were: Ann Valentine, chancellor at Ivy Tech Community College, Wabash Valley Region in Greencastle, Ind.; Steve Carignan, associate dean of the College of Humanities Arts and Sciences at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls; and Greg Schmitz, president of The VGM Group in Waterloo. “We had four excellent finalists to choose from,� Noah said. “We could not have been more pleased with the selection we had before us. Our consultant, Dr. Larry Ebbers did a wonderful job bringing us terrific applicants and helping us through this process. Now, we look forward to working with our new president.�

Prison inmates “give back� through Leader Dog Program By Rebecca Peter The inmates of the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility (FDCF) are there for a variety of crimes. The Leader Dog Program at the prison gives inmates an opportunity to “give back� to society. The program trains dogs for the visually impaired. James McKinney, acting warden at Fort Dodge, introduced the program at the facility in Rockwell City in 2001. McKinney started the Leader Dog program at Fort Dodge in 2010. According to Brenda Birchard, Coordinator of FDCF Leader Dog Program, there are currently 66 “handlers� at the Fort Dodge facility. Leroy Seiler and Mark Greiman, formerly of Garner, are two of the puppy handlers at Fort Dodge. Seiler has been incarcerated since 1980. Mark Greiman since 1999. Birchard noted, the number of assigned “handlers� fluctuates with the number of puppies ready for training and “sponsors� for those puppies. (A “sponsorship� costs $500). Dogs used in the program are purebred or a mix of one of the three accepted breeds: Labrador retriever, German shepherd or Golden retriever. They enter the Fort Dodge facility at approximately 12 weeks of age to begin training as guides for the blind. The dog handlers under go training for the program as well. Any of the inmates at FDCF are allowed to attend the training classes, “but for one of these men to be assign a puppy, that man must hold and retain the highest behavioral level that this institution expects from them,� Birchard said. The dogs and their handlers are together for a year. The dogs are taught a series of basic commands (sit, lay, stay, leave it, etc.). Afterwards the dogs “graduate� to even more intensive training at the Leader Dog Campus in Michigan before they are ready for a career as a dog for the visually impaired. Lynn Smith and Jim Arnold, Garner Lions Club members, are puppy “sponsors.� The Leader Dog program is supported by the Iowa Lions Club organization. “When I found out [Seiler] was a part of the Leader Dog program, I wrote him a letter and started communicating,� said Smith. Eventually Smith visited Seiler at the prison. “He had his dog with him, because when they train the dogs they’re with them 24/7.� Smith attended his first “Puppy Days� last year. “The program is put on by the inmates,� he explained. “I was so impressed with the whole program I decided to sponsor a dog. I got to name a dog. His name is ‘Garner’.� “My wife, Kathy, was a little skeptical about me communicating with someone in prison - much less going to see them.� he continued. Smith got Kathy to go to this year’s Puppy Days event at Fort Dodge, on Aug. 23. Kathy Smith became an enthusiastic sponsor - only this time, she wanted to pick the name for the dog. “Like Lynn said, this is something that gets infectious,� Jim Arnold stated. Arnold’s involvement began two years ago when he was a trustee for the Lion’s Foundation. “I was fortunate enough to be assigned as the contact for the Leader Dog program in the prison,� he said. “It was the most eye-opening event I’ve had in my life. I saw we were actually getting something back

from people who are serving time, that will carry on and benefit a lot of lives.â€? Occasionally a dog just doesn’t work out as a leader dog. Those dogs are given a ‘career change’ (perhaps as a helper dog for a disabled person) and still lead useful lives, Arnold said. “I’m extremely proud to support the program,â€? he said. Another Garner club, the Garner Modern Homemakers, sponsors a Labrador retriever named “Linnsu.â€? Greater independence District Lions Governor Gary Schriver of Mason City, can personally attest to thoroughness of the training for dogs. Legally blind for 30 years, Schriver’s dog is Logan, an eight-year-old Labrador. Leader dogs are an alternative to using a white cane, he said. “I’m a very independent person. I don’t like to sit around and wait for people to take me places I need to go or having to ask someone where I have to go.â€? At first skeptical, Schriver applied for and received a dog. “It’s the best thing that ever happened to me,â€? he said. “They are taught to get the blind person to where he needs to go, in the most safe manner possible.â€? The dog is also trained to evaluate the situation when he gets to the corner. “He will basically watch the traffic for me,â€? Schriver said. Shown how to get to a place just once, Logan will take Gary there - to the grocery store, to the mall or even to a specific store in the mall. “I can go any place now with this dog and be confident of where I’m going,â€? he said. â€?It’s really amazing.â€? Because of the Leader Dog Program, it cost Schriver nothing to acquire Logan. “If I had to buy this dog, it would cost about $40,000.â€? Benefits to inmates The benefits of the Leader Dog Program to the visually impaired are obvious. But what about for the inmates at Fort Dodge? “I feel there are a plethora of benefits for these men, but also for those in the community,â€? said Brenda Birchard. “Some [inmates] have lost a sense of self assurance, but went on to nurture another living creature that went on to guide a visually impaired person, has re-instilled self-confidence into that person that hopefully will enable that person to reenter our community with a positive mindset, making it safer for all who come across their paths. Birchard has witnessed inmates who upon either receiving a puppy for the first time or saying “goodbyeâ€? to one, exhibit publically, emotions, “that their court records would testify directly opposite to!â€? “All in all, I feel these precious creatures heal the mind sets of these men more than we’ll ever know,â€? she said. “Maybe while the puppies are residing with us, they are inadvertently guiding these possibly psychologically impaired handlers‌but upon reentry they will now adhere to the standards that society expects from them - all thanks to a furry four-legged creature.â€?

The Kanawha Reporter, Thursday, October 24, 2013 COUNCIL from page 3 donations to support the community, and taken risk by buying and improving property to make Kanawha a better place to live? Ask those critical of difficult decisions; do they really have the facts? Do they really want, for example, the police officer’s past schedule public so that everyone knows when he will probably be on duty in the future? Do you as a voter really want that much “transparency�? If it were true that a magic wand could be waved and the taxes on every home in Kanawha were $100 less, would Kanawha a far better place to live? Ask if you value experience. Ask if you value honesty. Ask who is thoughtful. Ask who is motivated not by greed, or malice, or vengeance, or anger, but instead by a genuine and demonstrated concern for the entire community. Heavens, ask of every candidate if they have a history of timely paying their water bills. Ask if the candidate has forced the City of Kanawha to spend thousands of tax dollars to enforce laws the candidate elected violate. Any of those questions would give you an idea of their notion of “fiscal responsibility� and public service. If every voter does that, the right candidates will be elected to serve on the Kanawha City Council. That is a fact.
