VICIOUS DOG From Page 1

The couple also disputed the claims that the pesticide sprayer made to police, including Jeri Hovenga claiming the man lied about the details of the incident. Paul Hovenga also pleaded with the council to not label Brutus a vicious animal, saying the dog provided his family with peace of mind and protection from a rash of burglaries he claimed was plaguing Hampton. He also said he has health problems that require him to take walks, and Brutus is his company. ´+H¡V LPSRUWDQW WR XV +H SURWHFWV XV Âľ 3DXO +RYHQJD VDLG ´3HRSOH NQRZ ,¡YH JRW D ELJ GRJ , KDYH D EUHDWKLQJ SUREOHP , QHHG WR ZDON Brutus helps me, he makes it exciting.â€? The city council meeting was attended by 15 members of the public, many of whom came to the meeting to complain about Brutus and their fears of him. Among those who voiced their fears of Brutus were former Hampton PD\RU 'LDQH :HOGLQ ² ZKR LV VHHNLQJ WKH PD\RU¡V VHDW LQ QH[W ZHHN¡V election – and Franklin County Auditor Michelle Giddings, who lives near the Hovenga family and said she has had scary incidents with Brutus. “I know they love their dog,â€? Giddings said. “Numerous times, the dog is out without a collar or a leash. I am scared of the dog. I am very scared of the dog. I was just waiting for it to happen (someone being bitten.)â€? After listening to all parties, several members of the city council chimed in with their comments and thoughts about the issue.

Council Member Craig Eckhardt addressed the Hovengas, and told them he was disappointed to hear of the recent incident because of a past incident with Brutus in 2011 when the dog terrorized another pet in their neighborhood. Eckhardt said that in the wake of that incident, the Hovengas said they would take measures with Brutus to not allow him to attack another animal or possibly a human. Among those measures were installing a fence, always keeping the dog on a collar and putting a muzzle on Brutus. ´, VHH DQ DQLPDO WKDW LVQ¡W FRQWUROODEOH Âľ (FNKDUGW VDLG ´<RX NQRZ LWV GDQJHURXV <RX VKRXOGQ¡W KDYH WR ZRUU\ DERXW JHWWLQJ ELWWHQ E\ D GRJ 7KH UHVW RI WKH SXEOLF KDV D ULJKW WR EH VDIH <RX JRW D IUHH SDVV WKH ODVW time.â€?

Stop The Rock Island Clean Line! Fight For Your Farmland! Refuse To Sign an Easement YOU and your neighbors can stop the Rock Island Clean Line from going through valuable Franklin County farmland, lowering its value. This TEXAS COMPANY believes they can easily take away your farmland and reduce its value. WHY MAKE IT EASY FOR THEM? REFUSE TO SIGN A VOLUNTARY EASEMENT after the November 19th Informational Meeting at the County Fairgrounds. File an objection with the Iowa Utilities Board before November 19th. Contact your County Supervisors, and other politicians. NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT UP THE GOOD FIGHT! The Rock Island Clean Line would be a PERMANENT eyesore going through Franklin County. We either FIGHT NOW or spend the rest of our lives looking with regrets at the huge transmission towers that have PERMANENTLY lowered the value of our farmland and quality of life! This ad is sponsored by members of The Preservation of Rural Iowa Alliance. The Alliance was started by a group of rural residents and farmland owners in west-central Iowa counties who are also in the RICL construction corridor. We are all fighting the same battle to keep our farmland and quality of life. We are well organized and have a website, www.iowastopricl.com. Our website will provide you with: • Information about the franchise process and what you can do to stop the granting of the franchise • FORMS TO FILE OBJECTIONS WITH THE IOWA UTILITIES BOARD (FRANKLIN COUNTY IS DOCKET # E-22129) • Your rights regarding the eminent domain process (A LOCAL COUNTY BOARD WOULD DETERMINE THE VALUE OF YOUR LAND, NOT A TEXAS COMPANY) • Contact addresses for our Iowa state and local politicians, commodity groups, and farm organizations (THE ILLINOIS FARM BUREAU OPPOSES THE RICL) and much more. Under the “legalâ€? heading, you will see we have hired a large Des Moines law firm to help fight our battle. Other ways to contact the Alliance; P.O. Box 303, Ayrshire, Iowa, 50515 or email at iowastopricl@gmail.com or call us at 712-262-5229. Alliance members will also be at the November 19th Informational Meeting. Please join with us to stop the Rock Island Clean Line. There is strength in numbers! As of October 15th, the RICL has admitted that 85 OBJECTIONS have been filed with the Iowa Utilities Board. They refuse to release the number of landowners who have refused to sign voluntary easements or give the Alliance the addresses of the landowners in the 16 county Iowa construction corridor.

Scientists pointed towards extremely unpredictable weather patterns caused by global warming as the reason for recent farming woes over the past two years.

OPEN BURNING In accordance with Hampton Code of Ordinances, Chapter 105.08, the City Manager has set the 30-day time period for allowed open burning of yard waste within the City Limits of Hampton beginning FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1st through SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30th, 2013. Burning is restricted to yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, garden waste, brush and trees), from 12:00 noon until the street lights come on, and shall not occur at a location less than 20 feet from any structure or building on the property. The fire must be supervised by a competent person at all times until the fire is completely extinguished. Violations of this Ordinance shall be a municipal infraction and subject to penalties as provided by law. In the event that smoke from the fire becomes a public nuisance, officials may order the fire extinguished until such time that items have dried sufficiently to allow burning at a time when smoke will be reduced. Windy conditions may also prohibit safe practices for open burning, and individuals are urged to use good judgment with burning practices to prevent risk of potential injury and/or damage. Note: Any mandates established by the State Fire Marshal, which impose a burn ban on Franklin County, override any local lift on a burn ban.

Store Hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday thru Saturday Closed Sundays

In accordance with Section 136.03 of the City of Hampton Code of Ordinances, it is the responsibility of the abutting property owners to remove snow, ice and accumulations promptly from sidewalks. This includes ALL parcels of property with public sidewalks within the city limits (occupied, vacant, residential, commercial, with or without structures). If a property owner does not remove snow, ice or accumulations within twenty-four (24) hours after cessation of snowfall or accumulation, the City may do so and assess the costs against the property owner for collection in the same manner as a property tax. In the interest of public safety and code enforcement, the City may be monitoring for non-compliance after the 24hour period. This serves as notice of the City’s intent to enforce this Ordinance; no individual notice will be served on the property owner or occupant. Please, make arrangements in advance to have any snow or ice on your property’s sidewalks removed promptly to avoid being charged for City services and potential penalties for non-compliance. (Fees will be assessed to the property owner in an amount equal to approximately 50¢ for every linear foot of street frontage of the property, with a minimum charge of $30.00 per property, plus an administrative fee of 15%, for each abatement.)

HAMPTON MAYOR’S RACE: BOEHMLER, WELDIN RESPOND TO QUESTIONS Compiled by Jeff Forward Why are you running for RI¿FH" I am running for mayor for very straight forward reasons. I have lived here 45 years and I love this community. I think it deserves the best city government possible and I have shown proven leadership in the past. My service to the community will be my priority. I will listen to your concerns, will always actively seek to build consensus, and bring our community together on issues important to the future of Hampton.

of infrastructure is critical. We will have a new wastewater plant, however water lines and mains remain old in various areas of Hampton which will eventually need to be replaced or repaired. Streets and alleys are always of concern. And, now with new mandates passed down from legislators requiring engineers and surveyors necessary to complete street repairs, it will cut into our road use tax inhibiting us from doing as many streets/alleys as we would like. No one wants taxes raised or assessments done to property owners to repair streets/alleys. So we will need to budget very closely to get the most streets/alleys done that we can within the constraints of our budget.

My goal for this city is to lead a team intent on securing a bright future for Hampton for decades to come, keeping it affordable, safe, and inclusive for all families, children, adults and senior citizens. :K\ VKRXOG SHRSOH YRWH IRU \RX" In my previous eight years of having VHUYHG DV +DPSWRQ¡V PD\RU , KDYH D proven track record of great successes, moving Hampton forward in positive ways. I am less concerned with the title, more concerned with getting the job done. I, along with council members, city staff, and concerned citizens, got many things done during those eight years without raising taxes: new aquatic center, revitalization of Progress Park, new trail system, Highway 65 north corridor refurbished with city putting in new sewer and water lines/mains while getting rid of the looping that was there, put in a new water loop on Seventh Avenue when the new Middle School built which would also help with potential growth of Hampton in future, being instrumental in getting 27 cents library levy passed, new waste water treatment plant a reality, as well as saving the Band Shell from destruction and cemetery fence restoration and replacement to name a few. Hampton has given me and my family so much in my 45 years of living here in terms of security and enjoyment I want to give something back that will be of real value to future generations. I have the energy, common sense, and proven, positive leadership to get the job done.

Answers – verbatim – were submitted by both candidates. Why are you running IRU RIÂżFH" I will serve the community and stress the importance of looking at issues in a positive light.

Hampton city council has three running for three seats; Davies answers Chronicles questionnaire By Jeff Forward Three seats on the Hampton City Council are up for grabs this year, the Ward 2 seat held by Jim Davies, the Ward 4 seat held by Craig Eckhardt, and the At-Large seat held by Dick Lukensmeyer. Davies and Lukensmeyer are seeking re-election to their seats on the council and are not being contested by any declared candidates. Eckhardt is stepping down from the council and one candidate – Jay Hickman – has declared his formal intention to replace Eckhardt. Hickman is the only candidate on the ballot for the Ward 4 seat and is runnning uncontested. Each of the three city council declared candidates were offered a chance to answer questions from the Chronicle; only one – Davies – chose to respond. Davies answers to the questions follow.

PRAIRIE VALLEY SNAPS AGWSR STREAK

Meyer Motorsports keeps business in the family By Kristi Nixon HAMPTON – When Jim and Kathy Meyer took over the Figure 8 racing business last year, they wanted to make it a family thing. And the response from at least 100 racers and fans who attended the Meyer Motorsports banquet Saturday night at the Franklin County Convention Center agree with the family aspect of it wholeheartedly. “My family is really involved,â€? Zach Lewis of Dumont said. “My dad JHWV LQWR LW MXVW DV PXFK DV , GR DQ\PRUH $FWXDOO\ LW¡V D ZKROH IDPLO\ GHDO Usually when they come, I have 30 family members who come to the races. ´, KDYH D OLWWOH QLQH \HDU ROG FRXVLQ ZKR ORRNV XS WR PH OLNH ,¡P KLV hero and it just makes me happy that little people can get into the sport.

He even allowed cousins Corbin and Carson Lewis take a spin with him after the races were over. “The last race of the year when we were all done, I asked them if they wanted to go on a little cruise around the track,â€? Lewis said. “I never saw smiles so big in all my life. It was good just to get the joy, let them know ZKDW LW¡V OLNH DQG PD\EH VRPH GD\ WKH\¡OO ZDQW WR GR LW ,W ZDV D EODVW JLYLQJ them a ride.

Hampton Chronicle’s Football Pick ‘em In an attempt to even the playing field, your sports editor went with a few more obscure games to pick from after three of the five pickers went 5-0 and the other two went 3-2. After last week, publisher Ryan Harvey and sports editor Kristi Nixon leapfrogged over editor Jeff Forward. Reporter Nick Pedley is within one game of leader sales representative Frankie Aliu as the season heats up. Here are this week’s picks:

Frankie Aliu: Tennessee: St. Louis must not have very much confidence in the back-up QB since they reached out to Brett Favre. Therefore, I have no confidence in the Rams winning. Washington: RGIII has a big game and the Redskins gets a big win at home. Oregon State: Outside of watching my favorite teams, the Pac 12 has become one of my favorite conferences to watch. TCU: They are playing at home? Kansas State: This should be a very close game; I think some key turnovers will cost the Cyclones this game. Nick Pedley: Tennessee: St. Louis wasn’t all that good with a healthy Bradford. They’ll certainly be worse without him. Washington: Chargers have played better than most people thought so far this year, but I think Washington gets it done at home. Oregon State: Beavers cut down listless Trojan team; no one watches. West Virginia: I chose the Mountaineers only because I had to choose someone. Kansas State: If you disagree with my selection, refer to the 71-7 (!) beat-down the Cyclones suffered last week against Baylor. Ryan Harvey: Tennessee: Without Bradford, Rams will struggle to find their way. San Diego: RGIII just isn’t the same this year. Oregon State: Unlike USC, Oregon State has had a successful offense and is bowl eligible. TCU: Without Tavon Austin, Steadman Bailey and Geno Smith, the Mountaineers are finding the road a tough one in the Big 12. Iowa State: Call it my hunch, but ISU always seems to pull out a win on the road that no one expects. This appears, on paper, to be a winnable game. Before this past weekend’s contest, other than the game against Baylor, ISU’s losses have been by no more than eight points. Kristi Nixon: Tennessee: Sam Bradford out with ACL at St. Louis – who do they have? Maybe the 44-year-old Brett Favre! San Diego: Because I like Danny Woodhead, especially since he played for a school I used to cover. (Fun to watch even still). Oregon State: The Beavers are no Ducks, but USC isn’t what it used to be, either. TCU: I just have a feeling. Iowa State: Battle of winless Big 12 teams? I’ll go with the Cyclones this time around. Jeff Forward: Tennessee: These are some non-impact games we’ve got on the docket this week, including this lame-o. I’ll say the Titans win a squeaker. Washington: Looking like a shoot-out is in the cards for this match-up. RGIII is playing a lot better as the season progresses and ‘Skins are at home. Oregon State: The Beavers have a good QB and is at home, plus Trojans in turmoil. TCU: The Mountaineers are bad, especially on the road. Kansas State: Man, this is a tough one because each team is so bad (sorry, Cy fans!) I’m switching an early season pick.

Saying “thank you� is easy, but real thankfulness is a lot more than mere words. Real thankfulness can be seen in a life of giving to others. As Christians, we have so much to be thankful for. We have a Heavenly Father who loves us so much. Each day He takes care of our earthly needs. More importantly, God sent Jesus to suffer, die, and rise for us so we can live forever in our heavenly home. Show your gratitude for God’s blessings by living a life of “thanksgiving�. Happy Thanksgiving!

After that, many high schools switched to a black and white yearbook with special sections in color. In recent \HDUV + ' Ă€QDOO\ KDG WKH RStion for a yearbook in complete color. Well, technology is knocking at the door again and Hampton-Dumont High School will answer this year. For the Ă€UVW WLPH HYHU + '¡V \HDUERRN will be brought to you in three dimensions. For those who are picturing yourselves scouring every junk drawer in your house for your 3-D glasses whenever

you order will appear relatively normal, with great moments captured through photos and stories highlighting the year’s biggest events. The only thing that makes our 3D yearbook different is the small icon that will appear on the bottom of many of the images. Yearbook readers can enjoy it as is, or they can download the free 3-D yearbook app on their smartphones or tablets. Once the app is downloaded, you can hover over any of the images with the icon, and a video complete with audio will come to life through your phone. Some of these videos are slideshows of more of the pictures that publications staff could not get in the yearbook, and some of the videos are actual footage from games, concerts, or events DURXQG WKH VFKRRO 6RXQGV FRRO" That’s because it is. Yearbook sponsor and Publications teacher Nikki Donnenwerth thinks so too. “The yearbook staff literally takes thousands of pictures

Maria Abbas Snags First Prize in Photo Contest Maria Abbas, a publications student and a junior at Hampton-Dumont High School learned the importance of putting herself in the right place at the right time. On September 28th, during the pep rally at Band Shell Park, Abbas took this picture of Coach Shafrath as he pumped up the crowd. The cheerleaders look on in surprise as Shafrath announced, “It’s president O’Bama on the phone and he wants a victory!� Even Spike was able to get in on the action. Each year, Walsworth Yearbooks, the company that prints the H-D yearbook, has contests to celebrate the schools selling the most yearbooks and the schools with the most creative marketing campaigns. They also have a photography category where schools submit their favorite photo

shot during the year so far. The publications staff chose Maria’s picture of Mr. Shafrath and sent it in for the contest. Abbas and the class learned on October 22nd that KHU SKRWR ZRQ ÀUVW SODFH We’ll chalk this one up to another bulldog victory!

throughout the year and most of them never get used. Take Homecoming for example. We have hundreds of awesome pictures from the week, but we only have four pages in the yearbook dedicated to Homecoming.

Donnenwerth continues, “We (Walsworth yearbooks and Publications)

were able to bring this service to people without raising the cost of the yearbook, which is pretty remarkable. The app is completely free and if you don’t own a smartphone or tablet you can still enjoy the yearbook just like you always have; without the videos.� Yearbook staffers are also excited about the 3-D yearbook. Junior Catie Corsello says, “ The slideshows are a really cool way to get more pictures into the yearbook.“ Others have inquired about

the amount of work it will be for Publications to take on such a big task. Donnenwerth’s not worried. “It will be a lot more work for Publications students now that we need to be concerned with pictures, articles, and shooting video. But it’s the fun kind of work, and we’re happy to do it.� Information will be coming soon about how to purchase your 2013-2014 yearbook.
