NEAR RECORD RAINFALLS BATTER NORTH IOWANS Franklin County remains under State of Emergency after five days of record rains
BY ETHAN STOETZER North Iowans were battered with five straight days of rain this past week, nearly matching records set in 2008, when the state saw a 500-year flood. Beginning in the evening hours of Wednesday, Sept. 21, many North Iowa counties saw close to 10 inches of rain fall, with 7.5 inches falling in Greene by 11 p.m. on Wednesday night. Flooding had the Cedar River cresting at 23 feet. The 2008 level

was approximately 31 feet. Many portions of the region were evacuated, with water use permitted by a lot of residents this past Monday.
At approximately 10 a.m. on Friday, Franklin County entered in to a state of emergency, seeing one major road close, and the total number
of gravel roads damaged resting at 50. Emergency Management Coordinator Thomas Craighton said that the State of Emergency will continue until at least the end of the week, while total road damages are accounted for. According to the National Weather Service, Des Moines, a total of 4.36 inches of rain fell in Hampton, though several sites in Franklin County saw almost five inches of rain, since Wednesday afternoon. According to the National Weather Service, the total September rainfall in Hampton is 8.96 inches. September’s historical average is only 2.39 inches. Areas of West Fork by Aredale saw flooding, as well as along the creek near Sheffield, and on the golf course. See FLOODING: Page 14

School board seeking more equity from CAL district in shared contracts BY ETHAN STOETZER Following the joint meeting between Hampton-Dumont and CAL school boards earlier this month, members of the H-D Board of Education felt that the meeting didn’t do much to address the concerns of the financial responsibilities of both boards. Though CAL’s board voted to increase its percentage paid towards the stipends to 50 percent for the TAG instructor, Media Instructor/Librarian, the decision frustrated board members about the responsibility for

currently structured, H-D pays the salary and benefits for qualifying employees, and an additional 10 percent salary stipend for the position, which CAL pays a percentage back. Up until the vote to increase the TAG instructor and Librarian, the percentage has been less than 50 percent for all positions. Board Member Chad Hanson said that previously, the belief was that CAL would need help in some key positions, but currently, a large portion of the administrative staff and teachers are shared. While the initial point of the stipend was to incentivize a temporary service for a length of a contract, the reliance on shared positions warrants an investigation into what needs to be shared and what will be paid. “These stipends weren’t meant to be permanent and now they are,”
Hanson said. Hanson also requested that a review of all shared positions needs to occur so that a restructure of salaries can occur. “Them saying they’re only going to use someone 20 percent of the time, that’s not fair to us or to them with the expectations of our employees,” Hanson said. The sentiments from the board were that a portion felt that the subcommittee proposed was needed, and that logging of hours was imperative for contract talks; however, such data investigations could take several months, pushing the contract talks into next year. The other sentiment is that CAL should be contributing more, right away. See H-D BOARD: Page 14

the remainder of the positions. “I’m confused why [CAL’s] not paying the full stipend,” said Board Member Erran Miller. Miller continued, saying that CAL’s philosophy when it comes to fulfilling immediate needs in the district to is about “getting it done.” Miller referenced CAL District Administrator Stephen Lane being used to drive the school bus when necessary. “I still don’t understand why they don’t pay,” Miller said. “In a business world, we set the price on our resources. The dollars won’t equal a huge amount. If we’re entering a partnership, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Is this how everything is going to be? The teachers are way into their contracts and we don’t know how they’re going to be paid.” The way sharing contracts are

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Hampton City Council approved an amendment to a SEH, Inc. contract, that will extend the engineering firm’s services through a Dec. 1 deadline. Tom Madden, the city’s engineering firm contracted for construction administration, said that SEH would need no more than $54,600 to continue its service. SEH provides an inspector at the waste water treatment faciliEven if we ty currently being constructed, don’t give to ensure specthem the ifications of the extension, project are com- they’ll still be pleted correctly, working until and on time. [December]. The city has recently declared TOM MADDEN current contractor on the sewer pipe for the treatment facility, King Construction, Wall Lake, in default on the project, after failing to meet substantial completion done by June 1, 2016, and failing to complete the project by June 30, 2016. Madden informed King of a sag/ high spot in the directional drilled pipe, citing the installation as defective. King has said that it would cost too much money to replace the pipe. The city’s secondary contractor Wapashaw, completing the facility portion of the project, notified Madden that its group would not be able to finish the project until December, citing weather, incompletion of the project on behalf of King and other factors. They have asked Madden and the city for an extension to avoid liquidated damages. See COUNCIL: Page 3
Iowa Living Roadways Program presents feasibility study First project of the plan to include tree additions to Rolling Prairie Trail Refer to Living Roadways graphs inside today’s Chronicle on Page 2. BY ETHAN STOETZER The Hampton Visioning Committee was presented a comprehensive feasibility analysis, as part of its final stage of the Iowa’s Living Roadways program. The city of Hampton is one of 10 communities selected to participate in the 2016 round of applications. Sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation, with the assistance of the Iowa State University Landscape Architectural Extension and the non-profit Trees Forever organization, the program provides professional planning and design assistance along transportation corridors to small Iowan communities with less than 10,000 residents. The 115-page analysis is one of the largest compiled, said Landscape Architect for Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company Eric Doll, and includes a list of all improvements and additions that the steering committee plotted as possibilities. See LIVING ROADWAYS: Page 2

LIVING ROADWAYS The plan also includes results from surveys about community needs and wants, as well as detailed explanations of what improvements can be made along the roadways, within the city. The Chronicle previously reported that the steering committee felt that Hampton’s strongest asset was its trail systems that run throughout town, and to its limits, as well as its strong investment in parks and recreational facilities. The area that could see the most improvements, according to the steering committee, is the city’s sidewalk networks that are both non-existent or dilapidated, in some areas. The analysis highlights the top improvements that can be made to the town are designated trail paths, either in a segregated lane on roads, or on a separate path beside roads. According to a survey administered to 400 randomly selected residents, administered by the ISU Survey Research Services, the most popular trail among walkers, runners and bikers is Rolling Prairie Trail. The trail runs throughout town and connects users to the middle school, cemetery and wellness center, while avoiding traffic. The survey had an approximate 48 percent response rate, with the median age at 60 years old, with males overrepresented, compared to a 2014 population study. Also of concern on the trail are the presence of lamps. Many users of the trail decline to use the trail at dusk and dawn because of a lack of lighting in some areas. Others said that they would like more shade along the trail and a patrol person to monitor vandalism and restrooms. Another high area of concern among survey respondents was that lack of a comprehensive sidewalk

system. Many residents expressed that transportation by car would be used less if there were sidewalks and crosswalks at specific locations, primarily at the entrance to the

Sponsored by Franklin General Hospital
Franklin County Fair Grounds, the intersection of US 65 and Highway 3, the railroad crossing and Highway 3, and at the library. Respondents also noted that there are very few sidewalks east of Highway 3. Parents asked if sidewalks could be placed on a route to middle school, that would deter children from walking through the cemetery. In general, a comprehensive sidewalk plan would allow resident to venture south to Shopko and North to Harriman Park, which currently
has no sidewalks leading to it. The financials of how to take action on community wants and preferences are based off of 2016 construction and include a 21 percent contingency fee, which accounts for amendments to design plans if needed. The financial implications are designed “a la carte,” Doll said, allowing for certain items to be selected over others, or to limit a project’s scope. The complete financial reports are within the analysis and can be obtained at Center
One. Interested parties can see the report in detail, as well as costs per improvement, and grant opportunities that can be taken advantage of. Jeff Jensen, a coordinator with the Trees Forever Organization said that the next phase of the Living Roadways Program is to take action and follow one of the outlined projects through to fruition. The steering committee is currently planning to apple for an Iowa Living Roadways Program grant for tree plantings along Rolling Prai-
rie Trail, adding shade to the trail. A bulk of the 30-40 trees would be planted along the middle school portion of the trail. Jensen said that in the next meeting of the committee, an additional project would be decided upon to complete. While a project has not been identified, public response has been in favor of a dog park somewhere in Hampton, which the committee is looking into. But other recommendations from the community will be accepted, at Center One.

Hampton in planning stages for repairs to Spring and Squaw Creeks Clean Water State Revolving Fund to aid in project funding BY ETHAN STOETZER The Hampton City Council is in the process of planning a watershed improvement project on Squaw and Spring Creeks. Hampton Public Works Director Doug Tarr said that the project is 30 percent designed. The project is a Water Resource Restoration sponsored project, which achieves funding through the city’s water treatment facility project. To complete the waste water treatment facility, the city bonded approximately $6.3 million from
the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which allows the interest incurred on the loan to be set aside in an account that can be used on state approved watershed projects. According to SEH, Inc., of Mason City, the city has approximately $633,000 available, due to the bonded amount. SEH compiled approximately $1.4 million in projects that can be done to address the creeks that include: stream corridor stabilization along the cemetery, East Park and Harriman Park; Bioswale/bioret-
ention by the middle school; Beeds Lake sedimentation Control; flood plain buyout and native landscaping. Top projects considered by the council include adding boulders to the creek in East Park that will slow water flow, and in times of low water levels, will allow users of the disc golf course to cross. Another project will include adding native plants along the cemetery corridor to prevent storm water runoff. Hampton City Manager Ron Dunt said exact funding has not been figured as of yet, due to incompletion of the sanitation system.

Beebe honored with Mayne’s Grove trees BY TRAVIS FISCHER The Hampton Tree Board and Franklin County Conservation paid tribute to a respected member of the community on Tuesday, September 20 at Mayne’s Grove Park. Two trees were planted in honor of Steve and Conny Beebe, both of whom passed away earlier this year. Beebe, who owned Beebe Painting in Hampton, was an avid nature enthusiast, frequently volunteering his time and services to Franklin County Conservation. A frequent visitor to Mayne’s Grove, the memorial trees were planted overlooking the waters where Beebe enjoyed fishing. “We thought this would be a fitting place to plant the
trees,” said tree board member Randy Sanders. The trees planted were two bald cypresses, donated by Beebe’s daughters, Amanda Kelley and Bailey Beebe. Bald cypress trees are a rarity in the area. For many years the only bald cypress in the county was planted on Beebe’s property. “He had the only one in Hampton until we planted some,” said Sanders. Beebe’s friends and family, including Beebe’s daughters and his brother, Stan, were invited to the park to see the trees planted. “It’s something that we can always come back to when we need to reminisce,” said Bailey Beebe. “He’d be so happy,” said Amanda Kelley.
DRIVING HISTORY Hampton, Sheffield and Rockwell part of highway history BY ZACH CLEMENS This past summer marked the 100-year anniversary of the event that added Rockwell, Sheffield and Hampton to the first ever route across country from north to south. The new highway would span from Winnipeg, Canada all the way down to New Orleans, La. In the summer of 1916, after months of lobbying and planning, Edwin T. Meredith, a well-known Des Moines publisher, presided over a newly formed organization called the Jefferson Highway Association (JHA). The group was tasked with mapping out the “Pine to Palms Highway,” named the Jefferson Highway, and was a 2,300 mile trek that was to be from pines to palms. It would start in Winnipeg and head south through Minnesota and go straight across Iowa, with stops in Rockwell, Sheffield, Chapin and Hampton. The history of the Jefferson Highway is finally getting the recognition of its counter parts, the Lincoln Highway, which would take you from coast to coast and crisscrossed in Colo, Iowa. It was in Colo that Lyell Henry, emeritus professor of political science at Mount Mercy University in
Cedar Rapids, first got interested in the Jefferson Highway. “The more I learned about the [Jefferson] Highway, the more interested I became,” Henry said. He decided to write a book about it, and has recently published “The Jefferson Highway” through the University of Iowa Press. Much of the book focuses on the highway that ran through Iowa, which goes back even farther than the Jefferson Highway. Over 60 years ago, on a newly bought farm just two miles northwest of Hampton, Howard Muhlenbach was busy clearing debris in a grove on his property when his rake scratched something metal in the dirt. It was a decades-old metal sign marking the Interstate Trail. Not knowing the significance, Muhlenbach hung it on a tree in his front yard for years be-
fore learning the truth. “[The sign] is ultra rare. I’ve never seen one elsewhere, I don’t think there is another one around,” Henry said. The sign dates back before 1916, and marked a road that would become part of the Jefferson Highway. It now resides in the Franklin County Historical Museum. That’s not the only thing connecting these towns to America’s past. Henry outlines in his book the exact route that one would take to go down the Jefferson Highway. He notes the “Rock of Ages Park” in Rockwell along Pheasant Avenue that residents have come to recognize. In Sheffield, Henry highlights the former city hall and memorial hall at 313 W. Gilman, built in 1921 and part of a way to attract tourists
COUNCIL “Even if we don’t give them the extension, they’ll still be working until [December],” Madden said. Madden said that would mean that someone should be onsite overseeing the project from the city’s perspective. Councilman Jay Hickman asked what had happened to overseeing the pipe that was installed incorrectly, seeing as SEH was under contract to oversee. Madden said that the pipe was underground, and therefore unable to be reviewed until it was tested. “We want Tom overseeing, or an inspector overseeing from now, to the time to finish,” City Manage Ron Dunt said. “If you want us to stay out there and overseeing, then they need to get paid. I personally think we need someone out there.” In other news, the council approved a proposal with CGA Engineering that will provide

along the highway as well as other period buildings along Gilman writing, “[These buildings] present today a view on Gilman Street that considerably matches the one that motorists on the Jefferson Highway would have seen in the 1920s.” He argues that Chapin suffered greatly from the highway moving east to what is now U.S. 65, not getting a paved road to Chapin until the 1930s. In Hampton the highway went directly past the courthouse and library. Border to border route was formed before it was paved, but the JHA wanted each segment to be well maintained. “[The JHA] wanted it to be a 365day route,” Henry said. “A route you could travel on at any time of the year.” Although the original route is no longer around today, the spirit of the project is. “In a sense [I-35] was the culmination of their effort,” Henry said. “I don’t get too worked up about whether the original road is there or not, [the JHA] got what they were aiming for, [Meredith] was vindicated.” According to Henry, in July the Iowa Department of Transportation approved the Jefferson Highway as a “Heritage Byway” in Iowa. There will soon be new signage up along the original route for motorists to follow the signs and find some history.

Service Line Protection letters cleared by Hampton BY ETHAN STOETZER The city of Hampton assured residents of the town that recent letters offering sewer service line insurance were in fact legitimate. Recent letters to Hampton homeowners from Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) have incited skepticism regarding the documents’ legitimacy, offering insurance for external sewer lines. “This is a legitimate letter offering legitimate pipe warranty coverage to those who wish to participate. However, it is completely voluntary and is designed to offer our citizens more options to cover unexpected expenses,” said City Manager Ron Dunt in a press release. The program is completely voluntary and not required for compliance with the city’s new waste water treatment plant.

Definition of insanity NEWSPLAINING
Ethan Stoetzer As most of you may already know, or may have just become numb to, the banking industry was up to was up to its usual shenanigans with innocent peoples’ livelihoods last week. Wells Fargo, the juggernaut banking entity, was fined a whopping $185 million dollars by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, its largest penalty to date. The bureau was formed in 2011. Wells Fargo, who prided itself on shying away from risky financial investments such as those that caused the mortgage crisis of 2008, was found to have been doing the opposite of what made it so solvent during one of the toughest economic crisis since the Great Depression. It was discovered by the bureau that Wells Fargo had fraudulently opened approximately 1.5 million bank accounts and applied for 565,000 credit cards without the knowledge or consent of consumers. Through transcripts of investigations, Wells Fargo had an incentive policy that rewarded employees for “cross-selling —” a fancy term for offering additional services. Employees would take funds from a consumers bank account and move portions of it into a new account that the employee had made. The account would then count as a new sale for the employee, who would receive a fiscal reward. Most consumers were unaware of the accounts until they were charged fees for the account in question. Some employees applied for credit cards in consumers’ names, to count as a sale, while also racking up interest payments for the bank on an unpaid card. The strategy used Wells Fargo isn’t new to the company. It’s a widely held philosophy among retail bankers that getting new bankers’ is hard; it’s a better strategy to sell current consumers different services. They would have gotten away with it to if they just asked people first. Wells Fargo hired an external investigation unit to examine its accounts from 2011-2015, which is when the 1.5 million accounts were manufactured, but it didn’t count on being discovered by the CFPB. CEO John Stumpf even mentioned in interview transcripts that the company wasn’t going to report its findings because of a risk to shareholders. Senator Elizabeth Warren offered scathing remarks to the CEO, demanding that he resign from his position and be investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for fraud. As a way to soothe public outcry, Wells Fargo is going to pay approximately $2.6 million in refunds to consumers, which averages out in payments of approximately $25. Wells Fargo has 40 million customers according to the New York Times. Wells Fargo has also fired 5,300 employees, from tellers to managers, that could have been involved. Does this sound new to anyone? Pardon my sarcasm regarding theft over $2.6 million, and the damage it’s done to hard working Americans, whose credit score were
wrecked and were charged fees for services they didn’t agree to, but were liable for anyway; but doesn’t this sound like something that’s happened before? Banking entity commits fraud with consumer money and betrays their trust. Company tries to hide it but ultimately gets caught. Company’s CEO testifies before a committee. Elizabeth Warren delivers a speech for highlight reels about how bankers should be held accountable. Company fires employees while CEOs and top executives continue as normal and are forgotten about. Since 2008, the following banking scandals have taken place: Wells Fargo paid $175 million for discriminating against hispanic and black borrowers — the result was 34,000 people paying high interest rates than qualified for. JPMorgan Chase lost $2 million that it was saving in the event that the economy dipped, again — the result was $6 billion lost from the trade. TD Bank paid $52.5 million to the SEC and the Office of the Comptroller for a its involvement in a ponzi scheme of $1.2 billion. These are just some of the few. If you have the stomach for it, you can merely search the internet for more scandals. The point of this is that banking in America has been a no rules game since the repealing of the Glass-Steagall act under President Bill Clinton, allowing for banks to become too big to fail. So big, that playing with Americans’ moneys on trades that take milliseconds to complete, partaking in incredibly risky practices, approving high risk loans and discriminating/hoodwinking the average consumer are non-fireable offenses. No CEO from the 2008 financial crisis have seen the walls of a prison cell, nor have faced any personal penalty from actions that crippled the economy and robbed Americans blind. Too big to fail is also too wrong to punish. How many more scandals will it take? How many speeches from Elizabeth Warren, all saying the same thing — that there’s no reason millionaire CEOs face zero federal or economical punishment for stealing money or collapsing the economy? There’s the age old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. We set up the CFPB in 2011 to protect consumers. The bureau is Batman in that it can save people from peril, except the peril has already happened, and Batman is incapable of catching the bad guy. He’s fighting a battle that’s always losing. $175 million is a lot of money to the average American, but to Wells Fargo — the company, not its executive staff — $175 million is spare change. Remember, it has 40 million accounts not including its own investments. The same goes for any other banking giant. Our society allows these entities to wreck lives, be told they were wrong, then let free to repeat. When is enough, enough? Will it take another 2008? A crash of the auto-loan market? You, hardworking American, will face jail time if you steal money from the company you work for, and will also lose any chance of getting another job. Why do we let these too-wrong-to-punish folk get away with it?
CHRONICLE EDITORIAL
Can some police records be forever sealed? Editor’s Note: The Des Moines Register shared this article with Iowa publications about the state of public records in Iowa. BY JASON CLAYWORTH Monica Speaks wants answers about her father’s death 30 years ago. But like dozens of other Iowans this year, she was shut down by the Iowa Department of Public Safety. The reason is a controversial and relatively recent interpretation of a 45-year-old Iowa law in which the department claims any document created or collected as part of an investigation can be considered confidential forever. That includes records involving the apparent 1986 suicide in Oskaloosa of Rick Lynne Davis, Speaks’ father. Davis was found shot to death in a car. Speaks believes it’s possible the death was related to her father’s involvement in the drug trade. The agency gave Speaks a synopsis of its work but refused her access to the records. “It’s impossible. It’s literally impossible” to know without the records what was reviewed or investigated, Speaks said. “I’m not looking to arrest anybody. I just want to know what happened with my dad.” The Department of Public Safety denied all or parts of 40 out of 59 record requests it received during the first six months of 2016, a Des Moines Register investigation found. And of the 40 denials, 28 were based on the investigative file exemption — regardless of whether the case is closed, remains under investigation or went cold three decades ago. A spot check showed that local law enforcement agencies rarely use the same exemption. Des Moines police had no record of any requests it has denied citing that exemption in the first six months of 2016. The Polk County sheriff had two. Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek said the department generally views most records as public once a case has closed. “I know that school of thought exists,” Parizek said in reference to agencies that have decided to keep most investigative records off-limits to the public even when cases are closed. “But we tend to take an approach in favor of transparency.” Some of the other records DPS has denied: • A national group focused on privacy issues sought records showing how Iowa uses facial recognition technology. In that case, the state wouldn’t even acknowledge whether it has written policies or manuals about the matter. • An attorney said a denied records request prevented him from checking what, if anything, the state agency reviewed before clearing a local police chief accused of unlawfully entering a residence. • A journalist was denied access to case numbers assigned to criminal cases. Public Safety Commissioner Roxann Ryan declined multiple requests for interviews about the records issues, initially referring questions to the Iowa Attorney General’s office. DPS spokesman Alex Murphy ultimately answered the questions, saying the department’s general policy is to withhold information related to investigations unless it fits the “immediate facts and circumstances” of a case, which Iowa law generally requires to be released. Murphy also defended the agency’s decisions to release additional information in some cases but not others. He said those decisions are largely strategic and intended to help law enforcement investigate crimes. “For each request, we review the specific facts and circumstances of the case to determine what, if anything, can be released,” Murphy wrote. An evolving interpretation: The idea that a public record reviewed or collected by an Iowa investigator can be considered forever confidential is a relatively new interpretation of the law, and one that some say is contrary to the intent and spirit of Iowa’s public records law. “That exemption is intended to only be applicable if it is part of an ongoing investigation,” said Arthur Bonfield, a retired University of Iowa law professor who was the principal architect behind the state’s open meetings law in 1978 and has helped legislators write or modify numerous other public transparency measures. “It seems to me that once the investigation is no longer ongoing, that exemption is functionally terminated.” Some of the first notable examples of that interpretation arose in 2014, when the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation refused to release records in several cases in which people died after officers shocked them with 50,000-volt electrical weapons known as Tasers. In another case that same year, Polk County District Court Judge Robert Blink ruled that the placement of a comma in the state’s open records law
means that records that were once part of a law enforcement agency’s investigative files may remain confidential even after the investigation is concluded. That ruling was prompted by Timothy Wayne Allen’s effort to review records pertaining to four Iowa homicides from the 1970s involving young women. Three of the four remain unsolved. Allen, of Ankeny, argued that routine public records may be released if they are not part of an ongoing investigation, which he said had been a longtime practice under Iowa’s open records law. But Blink said the comma’s placement in the statute’s wording means that only electronic mail and telephone billing records of law enforcement agencies must be released following the conclusion of an investigation. “The initial phrase before the first comma, ‘peace officers’ investigative reports,’ is unqualified; thus, investigative reports are confidential without condition,” Blink ruled. Allen, a former New Orleans homicide detective, said the FBI provided him dozens of documents on the Iowa cases after he filed a similar records request with that agency. “If the FBI can provide me with responsive documents,” Allen said, “why can’t the DCI? (The Division of Criminal Investigation is part of the Public Safety department.) There’s something clearly fundamentally wrong in the way they are applying this exemption.” Further court scrutiny: Public record watchdogs are closely monitoring a case that involves the quest for records involving Autumn Steele, a 34-year-old mother accidentally shot and killed in front of her toddler by Burlington Police Officer Jesse Hill. Hill was cleared of wrongdoing and returned to work about two months after the incident. The family and the Burlington Hawk Eye newspaper have sought 911 call transcripts, emails and footage from police body and dashboard cameras. The local agencies involved — including the Burlington police and the Des Moines County Attorney — claim they turned all their records over to the state, and therefore have no documents in their possession. And the Division of Criminal Investigation claims those records are part of its investigation and not among the immediate facts and circumstances required to be released under Iowa law. All three agencies were charged with public record violations in a case being prosecuted by a public information board appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad. An administrative law judge is set to hear the case against the county attorney in October. “Police tell a story and just expect the public to take their word for it. It’s unbelievable,” said Gina Colbert, Autumn Steele’s mother. “How does this happen in America?” The judge and the comma: Iowa’s public records law lists 67 exemptions when records may be withheld. The investigative file exemption has historically been viewed to be applicable to ongoing cases and specifically to the report itself, not public records that were gathered as part of the investigation. Here’s what the exemption says, and here’s how Polk County District Court Judge Robert Blink interpreted it in March 2014: Iowa Code 22.7: “The following public records shall be kept confidential, unless otherwise ordered by a court, by the lawful custodian of the records, or by another person duly authorized to release such information:” Iowa Code 22.7(5): “Peace officers’ investigative reports, and specific portion of electronic mail and telephone billing records of law enforcement agencies if that information is part of an ongoing investigation, except where disclosure is authorized elsewhere in this Code. However, the date, time specific location, and immediate facts and circumstances surrounding a crime or incident shall not be kept confidential under this section, except in those unusual circumstances where disclosure would plainly and seriously jeopardize an investigation or pose a clear and present danger to the safety of an individual.” BLINK’S RULING: The plain reading of the law does not support the interpretation that investigative reports must be disclosed if they are not part of an ongoing investigation. “The phrase ‘if that information is part of an ongoing investigation’ only modifies the immediately preceding phrase ‘specific portion of electronic mail and telephone billing records of law enforcement agencies.’ The initial phrase before the first comma, ‘[p] eace officers’ investigative reports,’ is unqualified; thus, investigative reports are confidential without condition.
People are dying. Cities are burning. So why are people still talking about these NFL National Anthem protests? When I first heard about Colin Kaepernick and his quiet protest of the systematic violence against black people, I didn’t pay it much attention. I don’t know what difference Kaepernick and his fellow players think they’re going to make by kneeling during the national anthem, but at least their intentions are good. It’s also a safe bet that kneeling for a couple minutes during a song won’t degenerate into riots, so, as far as protest methods go, it has that going for it. Apparently though, others seem to disagree. Kaepernick has recently been voted as the most disliked player in the NFL. There is talk that the protests are causing ratings to drop for televised games. People are boycotting teams. I’m sure on Facebook you’ve got at least one friend who has posted a list of teams that a sports bar has banned from their TV screens while the protest persists.
What bothers me most about this whole ordeal is the hypocritical virtue signaling coming from those who protest the protest. I feel that this would be an appropriate place to remind people that football is a sport where players often make the news when they are found beating their wives, children, or dogs. At what point did a man quietly kneeling become a more outrageous offense? The level of outrage generated by Kaepernick’s protest is utterly astounding. If I were to tell you that a religious fanatic got on a loudspeaker and announced to a cheering crowd that people who don’t participate in their nationalistic ceremony should be round up and shot, you might think I was talking about something happening in war torn Syria or Iraq. Nope. That’s homegrown American “patriotism” straight out of Georgia, where a Southern Baptist pastor was announcing at a high school football game. The pastor has since claimed that his alleged statement was misquoted and taken out of context. Fair enough. The bigger problem is, out of context or not, the number of people that agreed with it. In their defense of a song that has “For the land of the free” as a prominent lyric, these people are chomping at the bit for North Korea style state mandated patriotism. Then you have Jeffery Bell, President of his local police Union in Miami, urging off-duty officers to not sign up to work security for NFL games, saying “I respect their right to have freedom of speech. However, in certain organizations and certain jobs you give up that right of your freedom of speech temporary while you serve that job or while you play in an NFL game.” You give up your right to freedom of speech while playing in an NFL game. An NFL game. Now, I can understand there may be some professions out there where restricting somebody’s First Amendment rights may be appropriate. I can’t actually think of any outside of public service off the top of my head, but there’s probably something out there. I am, however, quite sure that “football player” is not among the professions where it is appropriate to suspend the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. I admit I’m not a constitutional scholar, but I am pretty certain that “unless you throw a ball for entertainment” isn’t written in the margins between the first and second amendment. In fact, I’m relatively certain that there’s nothing in the Constitution about the NFL pre-game show at all. See AGE OF THE GEEK: Page 5
OPINION
HAMPTON CHRONICLE • SECTION A
Wind energy is an economic success story in Iowa Innovative energy has been a hallmark of the Iowa economy in recent years. Geography, natural resources and a strong agricultural heritage have positioned us for success in the industry. The Legislature actively supports the growth of Iowa’s homegrown energy options. Wind energy is one such success story. Iowa’s winds have created jobs, grown business and manufacturing, added to farm income and boosted local economies. Incentives have made Iowa home to manufacturers and other companies that maintain, repair and provide supplies for wind energy systems. More than 215 Iowa businesses are connected to the wind industry, employing more than 6,000 Iowans. In 2015, Iowa produced more than 31 percent of our electricity from wind. That’s a larger share than any other state. Iowa produces enough wind energy to power more
LOOKING BACK
THE RAGAN REPORT
Amanda Ragan than 1.5 million homes, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. We have encouraged the development of large-scale wind farms, as well as smaller, locally owned wind energy systems. We’ve also made it easier and more affordable to install small wind systems to power homes, businesses and farms. The environmental benefits of Iowa wind energy are also substantial. By turning to wind, we remove the equivalent of more than 1.3 million cars worth of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and save more than 3.5 billion gallons of water
annually. Iowa is well positioned to continue as a leader in the wind industry. We’re located in the middle of the nation’s largest wind resources. Additionally, our community colleges are training workers for a variety of jobs that keep the industry booming. MidAmerican Energy is also planning to build $3.6 billion wind turbine operation that will generate up to 2,000 MW of electricity through 1,000 turbines, enough energy to power 800,000 homes. Alliant Energy plans to spend $1 billion over five years to add 500 MW to a wind farm in Franklin County— enough to power 215,000 households—and possibly more in other parts of the state. Sen.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2016
AGE OF THE GEEK Listen, I like football as much as the next guy (so long as the next guy doesn’t really follow football unless it looks like the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl), but let’s get some perspective here. We are literally talking about a game played for entertainment. It’s not a funeral. It’s not a coronation. It’s a sport. When the Westboro Baptist Church holds up intentionally offensive signs at military funerals, we grit our teeth and remind ourselves that they have the right to free speech and that their existence serves as a reminder of how important that right is. Because no matter how offensive it is, the alternative is worse. Yet, somehow, not participating in a superficial show of patriotism wedged between pre-game rock music and a bunch of dudes slamming into each other crosses the line for some people. What bothers me most about this whole ordeal is the hypocritical virtue signaling coming from those who protest the protest. After
all, let’s not pretend that the people taking such offense at Kaepernick’s protest would themselves bother to stand up while watching the game in the comfort and privacy of their home. One might be able to argue that kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful, but there is no question that the reaction to that protest has been an even greater insult to this nation. By utilizing his rights to draw attention to an injustice, Kaepernick is performing his patriotic duty. It’s hard to say how effective he will ultimately be, but at least he’s trying to make a positive change in the country. If anybody’s patriotism should be questioned, it’s the people who consider superficial lip-service more important than respecting this nation’s most important foundational philosophy. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and thinks that if you’re so proud to be an American, you should start acting like one.
Fifty Years Ago September 28, 1966 Nominated by the 1966 Hampton Community High School football squad, these five young Hampton High senior beauties are candidates for the 1966 Homecoming Queen and one will be crowned in coronation ceremonies to be conducted this evening at 7:30 o’clock in the high school auditorium.

Ten Years Ago September 27, 2006 Milt Eklund, a pastor for over 52 years, has been devoted to bringing life not just to words, but to the people who read them. Most recently, one of his poems was recognized and honored by the International Library of Poetry based in Maryland. Eklund, who retired in 1983 as pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church near Latimer, noticed an ad in a daily newspaper—requesting poets from all walks of life and from anywhere in the world to submit their work. Two days later his inspiration came for the subject of his poem. “I woke up that morning and it just came to me. I had been to a prayer group the night before and we had been studying about God’s Grace.” “Grace of God,” simply, became the title and subject of his poem, completing it within the morning. Patrick and Maurita Sietsema shot an 82 to win the Hampton Country Club Husband and Wife Tournament Sunday.

spring. She didn’t plant them until about June 1, but the six stalks have shocked her with their fervor. “They all grew. All the people here (near the Country Club) were watching it grow. It’s just like, you could see it grow overnight.” A month later, in July, they were already 8 feet tall. Her neighbor, Gary Sheppard, estimated they were about 14 feet tall last week, and Phyllis agreed. It reminds her of the tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Sharron Johnson has always been an avid walker, and with retirement, her walks have taken on a utilitarian purpose. When the rural Coulter resident worked the night shift at the Rehabilitation Center of Hampton, she would often go to Beeds Lake on her way home, and walk before falling asleep. Now retired, she walks every day. At a walker’s pace, she noticed items strewn along the highway. She adopted the two mile area from her home at 520 Hwy 3, West of Coulter, to the Latimer-Coulter intersection. “It just looks better,” she says. Hampton farm woman visits Uganda to share knowledge—“The main objective of the project I am working on is helping farmers market (or sell their grain) collectively for better prices,” writes April Hemmes. “By working together, farmers can also afford to hire transportation to haul the combined crop to a larger market for a better price.” Looking Back is compiled weekly by Joyce Schomburg.

No. 4 Turkey Valley handles AGWSR JACKSON JUNCTION – Turkey Valley lived up to its 8-Player top-five billing with a 62-8 win over visiting AGWSR on Friday, Sept. 23. The Cougars managed to roll up 263 ground yards against the Trojans, but were still no match for the powerful home team which finished with 261 ground yards and 143 passing, completing five TD passes to four different receivers.
AGWSR didn’t complete a pass in seven attempts and were unable to force a turnover against Turkey Valley, which improved to 5-0. The lone touchdown for the Cougars was on a twoyard run by Mason Eilderts, who ran in the two-point conversion as they avoided the shutout. Wyatt Blazek scored two rushing touchdowns and had 129 yards for Turkey Valley.

HUMBOLDT – With all of the North Central Conference teams running, and more thrown into the mix, it was a clear indication of how next month’s conference girls’ race could go. The top five finishers were all from the NCC, including IF-A/AGWSR’s Bethany Lippert (second) and Aubrie Fisher (fourth) as well as Hampton-Dumont’s Patty Teggatz (fifth). Humboldt claimed the top spot with undefeated freshman Bryce Gidel coming across the line at 20 minutes, 22.72 seconds and her Wildcats’ teammate Gabby Kent third. All five bested Class 3A competition from Mason City and Fort Dodge, among 15 other complete teams. Mason City girls won the team title, however, with 71 points. Once again, the Bulldogs didn’t have enough runners to complete a team score among girls’ competition. The only other runner, Gisselle Gutierrez, was 59th in 25:09.11. The boys’ team race, however, was dominated by non-conference and 2A top-ranked Garner-Hayfield-Ventura at 54 points with 2A individually third-ranked Reece Smith winning the boys’ title in 16:55.92, followed by 1A No. 5 Riley Bauer of North Union. In fact, the top finisher among the NCC in the boys’ race was at No. 12 as Humboldt’s Joseph Kunert came in at 18:03.41. Hampton-Dumont finished 19 th in the 19-team field, scoring 533

The good and the bad The NFL landscape became a little bit more clear after week three, with the good teams rising to the top, and the bad floundering to the bottom. Look at these two stat lines of two starting quarterbacks this past week: 23-for-35, 312 yards, 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions; the other is 24-for-41 for 196 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. One of these quarterbacks made his first-ever road start and is a seventh round pick from a year ago, the other makes $18 million a year. Trevor Siemian made his road debut in Cincinnati in stellar fashion. After a rough start, where two passes should have been picked after hitting the hands of Bengals’ defenders, Siemian got the ball to his star wideouts, Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, with each gaining more than 100 yards receiving and a combined three touchdowns. The other quarterback is Brock Osweiler, Houston’s supposed savior who couldn’t score a point against New England on Thursday night, making Texans fans wonder if they shouldn’t have given the young, unproven QB a $72 million contract. As John Elway, Broncos general manager who was spurned by Osweiler this off-season, said, “sometimes the best deals are the ones you don’t make.” How about the genius that is Bill Belichick, who can win a game with just about any quarterback, and might have to win next week with Julian Edelman, the venerable Patriots’ slot receiver, who was the emergency QB during Thursday night’s game? If Edelman does actually play QB, I would be hard-pressed to pick against the Pats, and as a Broncos fan, I expect a dogfight all year for that number one seed. Two rookie quarterbacks have stepped up in big ways during the early season. Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz have combined for more than 200 hundred pass attempts and 1,500 yards without an interception. The Eagles have their future and the Cowboys will be in an interesting situation once Tony Romo is healthy. I personally think that Romo’s career with Dallas is over, and he won’t ever see that field in a Dallas uniform again—barring a Prescott injury. Of the five undefeated teams left in the NFL, the most surprising has got to be the Minnesota Vikings. After losing their starting quarterback and perennial pro bowl running back Adrian Peterson to injuries, the Vikings keep trucking along, behind mistake-free Sam Bradford and that ferocious defense, which has already compiled 15 sacks and five takeaways. Time will tell if this defense can keep up the pace, but I’m sure Vikes’ fans are loving it right now. Can we all have a moment of silence for the Browns and their fans… They are going to be the worst team in football. After starting a rookie, and the third QB in as many weeks, it actually looked like they might get a victory over the inept Dolphins, yet the Browns just did what Cleveland likes to do: lose. They even won the overtime coin flip, yet decided to kick it away? I guess the coaching staff trusted that “great” Cleveland defense. They did stop Miami, however failed to score themselves, losing again. I have a strong feeling the Browns are already on the clock for the draft next year.

G-H-V pulls away from Bulldogs
ƒWest Fork individual champs win despite injury, aches

GARNER – After playing one of its best halves of football in the first 24 minutes at Garner-Hayfield-Ventura, the game got away from Hampton-Dumont in an eventual 42-14 loss to the No. 5 team in Class 2A. The Bulldogs and Cardinals were tied at 14 at the half. “We played a good first half,” H-D coach Dan Aalbers said. “It was 14-14 at half, Johnny (Guerrero) scored two touchdowns in the first half. Hunter (Sutter) completed a couple of passes and our defense played well. Once we settled in, the defense played the best of the season so far.” Guerrero scored on a 14-yard run and a short plunge into the end zone that tied the score with about six minutes left until the break. That held until half. After that, G-H-V got its game working on both sides of the ball. “They really started to pressure the line of scrimmage quite a bit,” Aalbers said, “and we didn’t adjust very well to that. “We had four fumbles and lost three, had some turnovers again that really hurt us. Our defense in the second half, we really struggled. I don’t know if we got a first down, our defense was stuck out there, and fumbled the football on a play that ooked really looked good; we need to t a ke
care of the ball better.” Whereas H-D finished the game with positive yardage, it ended the second half with negative yards. “We had some negative yards and some sacks (given up),” Aalbers said. “It was a tale of two halves, which is a little disheartening, because we felt we were prepared and it got away from us in the second half.” In his first action of the season while being sidelined with an injury, senior Ethan Spurgeon came on with a solo tackle, nine tackle assists and the only sack for the Bulldogs in the game. “On the positive side of things, Ethan played a good game on the defensive side,” Aalbers said, “and Johnny had a great night at linebacker. It really did help having Ethan back, it helped solidify the defensive line.” After the loss, the Bulldogs were joining the effort to help clean-up the flood damage in Butler County on Monday, Sept. 26 by traveling to Clarksville. The town’s levee broke on Thursday, Sept. 22 and a number of residents were forced to evacuate. It was a roundabout way in which the Bulldogs were enlisted to help. “It’s an interesting thing, late (Saturday) night, (freshman coach) Brandon Bird forwarded me a text,” Clar Aalbers said. “Clarksfootb ville’s football coach, Chris A Arians, a Clear Lake L
graduate, put out a call for help to retired Clear Lake coach Fred Wieck, and he knows Brandon and knew we weren’t too far, so he passed it on to me and I called Chris. “We’re going to help out clean up over there. Our administration, I’m thankful that they approved it, it’s a good learning opportunity.” Among the things the Bulldogs will be helping with, according to Aalbers, is moving appliances out of flooded basements, shoveling mud and moving drywall. “That’s our weightlifting for us on Monday,” Aalbers said. And in the interim, H-D will be preparing for 1-4 Clear Lake, which lost by a single point to Forest City (20-19) last week. “They are a different team offensively than in past years,” Aalbers said of the Lions. “They’ve shown much more spread sets, a spread look. But they will also jump into Power-I, it is hard to say. (This is their identity.) They are a multiple formation to prep for. “We are getting better at recognizing and being in the right spot, that showed at Garner. We were getting to the line and ready to play defense. As the kids get more experience. We’re getting more comfortable adjusting on the fly. We are looking forward to playing Clear Lake Friday, always a rivalry looking forward to playing them.”

NASCAR has issued a stern warning about drivers and teams failing postrace inspection or trying to circumvent the rules during the Chase. NASCAR executive Steve O’Donnell Steve O’Donnell delivered the message at Sunday’s drivers meeting. “I want to make clear to everybody here that if in NASCAR’s judgment there are any measures to circumvent what happens in postrace inspection, we’re going to react. We know that’s subjective, but we ask all of you not to put it in our hands, because we will react if we have to. I think everybody knows what that means.”

On a lazy Fall afternoon in 1985, 22,000 people watched as Harry Gant, driving the Mach 1 Chevrolet, won NASCAR’s Delaware 500 at Dover International Speedway. On that same afternoon, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart were teenagers. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was only 11. Now, those 1985 grandstands have been replaced by a more modern steel and concrete edifice, seating more than 140,000 race fans. Twice a year, they pack the stands for NASCAR tripleheader weekends featuring the Truck Series, Nationwide Series, and Gordon, Stewart, and Earnhardt Jr. going fender to fender in the Cup series.

BY KRISTI NIXON ROCKWELL – Both individual high school champions for West Fork at the Warhawks’ home meet at Linn Grove Country Club say they need a little rest and recovery. Nonetheless, it didn’t stop Kenna Weaver and Jacob Hansen from easily taking the individual titles on Monday, Sept. 19. Weaver led the girls to a second-place finish behind Mason City Newman 23-33 while Hansen paced the boys with much of the team placing in the top-15 to win it in front of the Knights, 26-33. As for Weaver, she has been not only battling injury, but illness. She completed the race in 21 minutes, 6 seconds. “I haven’t really ran much except the first meet, ran well then,” Weaver said. “We kept getting our meets cancelled and at the Belmond meet, we pack run. This is really only my second race and I’m recovering from a groin injury had a few nights ago. “I was sick last week, so I haven’t been running much. I’ve been struggling, I’m definitely not where I’m supposed to be at the moment. My times are kind of low, but they’ll get back up there. I’m recovering and getting back out there.” Hansen separated himself from the rest of the field early and had no one around him nearly all of the race, completing it more than a minute ahead of the next finisher. “I’m feeling pretty good,” Hansen said. “I just wanted to get out and go, basically. I didn’t know if I was going to be racing today or not, actually. On Saturday, I was doing a workout and all of a sudden my foot started hurting. I don’t know if it was flaring up. I ran before the meet, didn’t feel too bad, so I decided to race since it’s my last home meet.” Coming in at 16:58, Hansen said he really wanted to get a race in before heading to the prestigious Roy Griak Invitational on the campus of the University of Minnesota. “I really needed to get a race in here because I’m racing Griak this weekend,” Hansen said. “(I’m going) as an individual; it should be a lot of good competition. Some of the best runners in the Midwest are there. I think the top runners in 1A, 2A and 4A are going to run. “This should be a pretty good meet for me. Hopefully, I finish high. (I’m going to) get a few workouts this week to get ready for Griak, watch the team run at Central Springs, maybe put in a jog there.” Weaver had pulled out of last week’s race that was eventually called because of thunderstorms, anyway. “I still don’t think I wouldn’t have finished that race,” Weaver said, “because I’m recovering.” Even at the home meet, Weaver said she likely went a lot slower than normal. “I felt like I had no one to push me in front of me,” Weaver said. “I feel fine with my running, I feel I’ve recovered a lot. It was a slow meet. I pulled away the last 200 meters, I really didn’t push myself hard enough the entire race, I kind of sat with her the entire race until the last 200.” Meanwhile, Hansen’s big lead came as sort of a shock to him. “I wasn’t expecting to go out that fast in the beginning,” Hansen said. “I was surprised after the first mile that I had that big of a lead. I just get out and get going. My race strategy might change up in the next couple of weeks.” Each runner said the West Fork teams as a whole ran strong. Finishing behind Weaver were Talia Rowe, Maddison Shupe in the top 10. The boys’ team scoring was rounded out by Josh Stevens (seventh), Zach Martinek (eighth), Connor Schulz (10th) and Austin Larson. “We did well (as a team), they definitely have been improving,” Weaver said. “We still need our hammers up front. Newman is good, we need to start sticking with them.” Hansen said, “It was a pretty good day for us. I think we all had some season bests, lowered their season bests by at least a few seconds today. “This is a good one, this is good weather today.”

Remember last week when Kevin Harvick was trapped a lap down at Chicagoland Speedway, finished 20th and fell out of the top 12 in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings? Remember last year, when Harvick crashed at Chicagoland and ran out of fuel while leading at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and had to win at Dover to advance in the Chase? In Sunday’s Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire, Harvick redeemed himself, so now that’s all moot. This was the second race in the Chase. Surging ahead of Matt Kenseth after a restart with six laps left in the 300lap event at the 1.058-mile track, Harvick pulled away to win by .442 seconds and joined Chicagoland winner Martin Truex Jr. in the Chase’s Round of 12. “One of our main goals this year was to not stress ourselves out so bad,” said Harvick.

TEAM BUILDING
ƒ Warhawks grow as team facing top-ranked Saints BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – Sometimes things in life are bigger than football. As West Fork head coach Eric Gabe’s hometown was ravaged by a couple of small tornadoes and extensive flooding last week, his team signed on to help with clean-up in Greene this week. In the meantime, his Warhawks showed no backing down from the top-ranked team in Class A in an eventual 41-21 loss to St. Ansgar at home on Friday, Sept. 23. “On Monday, we’re going to North Butler my old hometown and it’s a really proud thing for me to take my guys that I’m extremely proud of back to my hometown that has given me so much,” Gabe said. “And I can finally give back. That’s kind of a life-long goal.” According to Gabe, the whole team save a few who are taking tests in courses at NIACC were set to go clean-up after floodwaters receded on Monday. “We are going to do what we can,” Gabe said. “My parents and my best friend live a mile apart on the east side of Greene and they were right next to those small tornadoes. There are trees all over the place at the house and all of those things. It spared the house, the machine shed is down, whatever. “But my parents did a good job raising somebody who is thankful for what they have and I love being a Warhawk and being here and it’s the community piece and being from North Iowa that is important.” As for the football game played out on the field, no one was expecting much from West Fork against unbeaten and the No. 1 team in the state which had outscored its previous four opponents 205-27. However, at half, the Warhawks only trailed 14-7 after coming up with a huge red zone stand in which the Saints had first and goal from
the four. “Quite honestly it was a real proud moment for me as a football coach because we’ve been looking for a game like this for two and a half years,” Gabe said. Understandably, West Fork went into the half very fired up. Gabe’s message to his team? “Believe,” Gabe said. “Just believe in what we are doing. A win and a loss does not define you. If you don’t figure that out in life, you are going to struggle. Don’t ride the rollercoaster of emotions, stay even keel. “We know we have the No. 1 team on the ropes and they’re nervous, but they are going to come out and punch you in the mouth and I think our kids responded.” But St. Ansgar came out of halftime with the ball and went 65 yards in 10 plays to take a 20-7 lead. Three plays later, the Saints’ Jacob Hemann picked off Jarel Arbegast that led to a score. Arbegast and the Warhawks responded with a quick score as the West Fork quarterback kept it from four yards out to cut the deficit to 20-13. He finished the night with 22 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. The Saints answered back and extended the lead to 41-13 on a 22yard interception return by Dayton Smith. “That interception Jarel threw that was a pick-six, the other one he threw were on me,” Gabe said. “I made calls where I thought there was something upstairs, they did a good job of adjusting and we threw the ball right to them. “There’s a lot of things we can clean up, but when you are 0-5, it doesn’t feel like we are 0-5 and we’ve played quality football teams. Teams need to watch out for us coming in, day-in and day-out. We’re not going to roll over. It feels

like we are at the climax and we can go either way right now. We can be content, or we can continue to push and try to move forward. We’ve got work to do.” And the Warhawks were playing with four sophomores going both offensively and defensively, including Garrett Anderson, who started playing center for the first time on Thursday; Spencer Nash, Jesse Chibambo and Mitchell Halloran. Not only the work the team were set to do in Greene, but the Warhawks also recognized three-yearold Landon Tollefson, who has cancer. “We had a deal tonight for Landon, I have my own threeyear-old little Landon, and it really touched my heart,” Gabe said. “He’s
a fighter. I think we need to take him to every game because he really inspired our kids.” With two minutes left, Arbegast scored the final touchdown of the night and ran in the two-point conversion as the Saints gave up the most points they had all season. “We still lost a football game tonight,” Gabe said. “That’s not who we want to be. We competed toe-totoe with one of the best teams in the state and I thought there were times where they were pretty nervous. “We’ve got Nashua-Plainfield (this) week over there. I am excited for a big week of things that the kids can’t learn inside these school walls that are going to happen on Monday and that is going to bring us together.”
Cowboys fall to Chickasaws 35-6
ƒGame closer than final score BY LES HOUSER NEW HAMPTON – For a good portion of last Friday’s Clarion-Goldfield-Dows/CAL’s game at New Hampton, the Cowboys were standing toe-to-toe with the second-ranked Chickasaws and giving them all they could handle. In the end, a flurry of scoring by New Hampton in the fourth quarter provided a 35-6 win. The final score is not indicative of how close the game was. Following a scoreless first quarter, the home team struck first on a 10-yard touchdown run. The PAT made it 7-0 for New Hampton, and the score remained at the half. A 25-yard touchdown pass in the
third quarter made it 14-0 with the PAT, followed in the fourth quarter by Nate Rapp going in from a yard out. The PAT kick was blocked, but the Cowboys were still very much in the game at 14-6. However, two Chickasaw picks of Kainan Braun passes were taken in for touchdowns within a short amount of time resulting in the deceiving final score. “Our boys played very well,” stated head coach Newt Lingenfelter. “It was a one-score game until six minutes left in the fourth. At that time a hurry-up offense turned the ball over and the game got out of hand. We put many good drives together. We only had to punt once
in the game, and all the other drives ended in the red zone.” The Cowboys finished with 279 yards of total offense on 57 snaps, compared to 300 total yards for the Chickasaws. The Cowboys averaged 4.9 yards per play, and had five penalties for 30 total yards compared to four flags for 40 yards for New Hampton. The Chickasaws held a slight edge in time of possession, 24:54 to 23:06, with the Cowboys making 17 first downs compared to 14 for the home team. The Cowboys converted on five of 11 third-down attempts and one of four fourth-down tries. Rapp finished with 106 yards on the ground on 21 carries and the lone Cowboy score. Braun gained 28 yards on 16 attempts and Reymun-
do Vasquez 19 yards on six tries. Braun was 6-of-14 in the passing department for 126 yards with the two interceptions. Chase Harker caught five of the passes for 124 yards. Harker returned one kick for 32 yards, Israel Rivera one for 22 yards and Braun another for 11 yards. Will Weidemann had seven solo tackles and two assists, while Braun contributed five solo tackles and four assists. Rapp and Brendon Boyd both had two solo tackles each, with Nate Rapp also making two assists. This week the Cowboys (3-2. 1-2) travel to Garner-Hayfield/ Ventura (5-0, 3-0). The Cardinals are coming off a 42-14 win over Hampton-Dumont.

Quick change ƒ No. 15 Osage uses quick set to sweep Warhawks
AGWSR’s Maddie Brandt (5) hits between the Gladbrook-Reinbeck block on Thursday, Sept. 22 at Ackley. The Cougars won 3-1. KRISTI NIXON/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE
BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – Class 3A No. 15 Osage came in to West Fork High School on Tuesday, Sept. 20 and effectively quick set its way to a 25-18, 25-14, 25-22 sweep of the Warhawks. The Green Devils (8-8, 6-0 TOI East) pulled away in the late stage of the opening set, took control in the second and then rallied from six down on more than a few occasions to take the finale. “It’s really tough because we don’t see a whole lot of quick sets,” West Fork coach Abbee Dickman said. “We are great when we can get touches on the ball with the block. When we don’t get a block, we leave our diggers out to dry and tonight we really let them out and I didn’t care for that.” At one point in the final set, the Warhawks held a seven-point advantage at 14-7 after a Lexi Bray kill. During the first set, West Fork led as late as 14-13 and still trailed by one at 17-16 before an Osage run put it out of reach in which the
Green Devils recorded a pair of kills and an ace coupled with three Warhawk hitting errors. Throughout the final set, West Fork came back from an early 3-1 deficit with three kills by Bray and two by Jacqlyn Caspers, as well as a dig by Caspers that went over the net and Osage looked unprepared for, as well as the only stuff block of the game – by Maddison Shupe. When a kill attempt by the Green Devils went long and they were whistled for four hits, it prompted a timeout with West Fork leading 11-5. Dickman said she felt like her team went toe-to-toe with Osage. “I did, it was kind of sad because we started out strong in the first game, and we let up,” Dickman said. “We are a pretty mental team. In the third, we really came alive and we just beat ourselves. Osage is a good team, but I definitely think we could have beat them, it’s just we beat ourselves, what we have been doing lately.” But the Green Devils kept chipping away at the deficit and overcame it at 23-22 on an ace serve by libero Kourtney Chambers. A block by Sydney Midlang and a kill attempt by West Fork that went just out of bounds ended the match. West Fork fell to 8-5 overall, 4-1 in the Top of Iowa East. Osage takes control of first place in the conference standings after the win.

FULLY ENGAGED
ƒ Cougars set the tone in first set rally to defeat G-R BY KRISTI NIXON ACKLEY – Trailing 20-14 in the opening set against NICL West foe Gladbrook-Reinbeck, AGWSR cocoach Betsy Harms called timeout. After that, the Cougars rallied to take a 23-22 lead to force a Wolverine timeout of their own, going on to win the opener by a 27-25 score. That would set up a 3-1 match victory for AGWSR as it improved to 5-12 overall, 2-2 conference. “When I took the second timeout in game one, we were down 20-14 and it was really at that point whether they responded or not,” Harms said. “And they came back and got that game and that was very intense. “I told them they were beating G-R at their own game because G-R is a scrappy team and we were all over the floor that game and that’s really what it takes to win.” Senior outside hitter Alana Groninga, who led the Cougars with 11 kills, said the comeback in the open-
er was key. “It was just really exciting,” Groninga said. “I think what we needed to do was just get our energy back in order to win that game.” Harms was a touch surprised at first when told that freshman Rachel Sicard also tallied double-digit kills (10) against the Wolverines. She picked up a big kill and block in the late stages of the final set that brought up match point. “Yesterday in practice, we worked on blocking and balls coming up to the net and tonight at all levels, I saw our girls do really well at that,” Harms said. “That makes sense.” But it was no surprise to Groninga. “Oh heck no,” Groninga said. “She (Sicard) has got it. She’s into it now, she’s giving us good minutes.” The Wolverines forced a fourth set when they got on a roll behind the serving of Marissa Berendes, who helped G-R to 15 straight points
in that game. During that run, Audrey Leyen had three blocks and a kill while Berendes served up three aces. She finished 25-of-26 serving with five aces. “That third set, it got out of hand,” Harms said. “I don’t know if we lost our focus or intensity level, but I told them going into game three that G-R is not a team that just rolls over and dies. They are historically a scrappy team that is a get-it-done team one way or the other. It’s never really that pretty, but they came out and did their job in game three and they played better than us.” Addi Johnson, who was 14-of-17 from the service line, came up with one of her two aces to end it. But it was the Cougars’ ability to keep the ball from dropping against G-R that was the biggest advantage. AGWSR recorded 82 digs in the match, led by Mandy Willems with 20. “We worked a lot in practice on them tipping a lot,” Groninga said, “that helped a lot to get to every ball that we could.” AGWSR is 3-0 at home, some-
thing Harms said that she’d be okay with if her team had more home dates. “We love playing at home,” Groninga said with a shrug. “We don’t like to lose here.” AGWSR 27-25-12-25 Gladbrook-Reinbeck 25-16-25-18 Kills – G-R (Audrey Leyen 9, Paige Eiffler 6, Tessa Sienknecht 5, Marissa Berendes 5, Mereiah Wittgreve 2, Sasha Nagle, Karlee Clark, Maddie Frischmeyer); AGWSR (Alana Groninga 11, Rachel Sicard 10, Mariah Jimmerson 9, Maddie Brandt 7, Mandy Willems 3, Anna Jaspers 2).

Rockwell man hits DOT worker BY ZACH CLEMENS A Rockwell man struck a Department of Transportation (DOT) worker with his car on Thursday, September 22, according to the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office. Merlyn Tramel, 70, was heading northbound on U.S. 65 when he
approached road workers from the Iowa DOT. Tramel struck 34-year-old Mark Nel, of Nora Springs, as Nel was directing traffic due to water over the roadway. The DOT worker was taken to Mercy Medical Center North Iowa
for injuries sustained from the accident. Tramel was cited for unsafe approach to certain stationary vehicles resulting in injury. IDOT, Rockwell-Swaledale EMS and Mason City Fire Medics assisted Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Department.
able” with the proposal that CAL is currently offering. A possible solution that was recommended to be discussed in the committee was combining the 10 percent stipends into the salaries, then splitting the cost of the entire salary, with the percentages based on time spent in either school. For example, an administrator making $50,000 with a 10 percent stipend of $5,000 would mean a total salary of $55,000, to be split 80/20 between H-D and CAL. In this
scenario, CAL would be liable for $11,000 as compared to the current amount paid in a 10 percent stipend. “12,000 for a curriculum director is a gift,” said Board Member Tom Brolsma, referencing the cost of a position with a new pay structure. Rosenberg and Hanson were voted to sit on the four-member sub committee with CAL. Anything more than four members would mandate that the meeting be public.
H-D BOARD “I was asking back in June and nothing was answered,” said Board Member Jeff Rosenberg. “Now we’re here three months later and still trying to figure it out.” Confusion over the stipends has been a heated point of contention for the last year, as some members didn’t see them included in the approved budget. Others, from both boards, argue that the arrangements of who pays what were just handed to them and gone along with. Regardless, H-D is “uncomfort-

FLOODING While 3.16 inches, falling from Sept. 21 through Sept. 23 is not as much rain as other communities saw, Franklin County Supervisor Gary McVicker said that the previous amount of rain over the month has saturated the soil of many fields, creating runoff. Tanner Bohman, crop specialist with AgVantage FS, said the month’s rains are going to cause farmers to be selective during the ensuing harvest, with many areas being more saturated than others. “What we’re worried about now is stalk rot and crown rot with the amount of moisture,” Bohman said. Because of the heavy rains, the roots of stalks might become rotted and will fall over in the fields. Likewise, moist stalks can cause the plant to fall down in the fields. Bohman said that big wind gusts are the factor to look out for, seeing as the crop is already on the plants. Fallen stalks will make it very hard to harvest. Brian Flack, a resident of Bradford, said that 80 percent of his property was covered with water after the Wednesday night storm, with some parts of his property holding three feet of water. As of press time, water remains on his property.
In light of the recent flooding, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad issued a proclamation Sunday afternoon for the 13 counties affected by the storms, including Franklin County. The proclamation allows for these counties to take advantage of state resources in remediation of the damages, which Craighton said is being taken advantage of. The proclamation also entitles qualifying individuals in the county to apply to the Iowa Individual Assistance Program, which can provide grants up to $5,000 for households with incomes up to 200 percent of the poverty level ($40,320). The grants cover home and car repairs, replacement of clothing and food, as well as temporary housing. Craighton said that residents interested in the grant must apply to the North Iowa Community Action offices in either Hampton or Mason City, and must do so within 45 days of Sept. 21. Craighton said that road repairs should be completed within months, with home repairs taking longer; the whole process of remediation and reimbursements will take approximately one year.
