Hampton puts traf¿c light issue to rest with removal of bulbs; moves forward with funded maintenance BY ETHAN STOETZER raffic lights have been the target of much misfortune for several years in Hampton. The signals at the intersection of Highway 3 and Main St. (1st Street), especially, seeing run-ins with tractor trailers, short fusing circuits and old age. The traffic lights at the intersection of Highways 3 and 65 are also feeling the pains of old age. “Those lights are old and when something goes wrong,” said Hampton City Manager Ron Dunt, “we need to go to the bone yard to pick for parts to fix them.” After over three years of examining all financial avenues to address the lights on Main St. and Hwy 3, costs ranged from $2,000 to repair the flashing red lights, to over $150,000 to replace the entire light. “Those lights are old, if not older than Highways 3 and 65,” Dunt said. “They have mechanical problems. The council had many discussion on whether to invest in them or keep them flashing red.” Last week, the decision was finally felt, as the yellow and green bulb slots were removed entirely from each light at Main St. and Hwy 3, leaving singular red, f lashing lights. “We were hoping it would clarify a more permanent position,” Dunt said. P ublic opi n ion has been non-unanimous, with many residents in favor of keeping the simple flashing light, while others express that it is difficult to be a pedestrian at the intersection, with limited safety to cross. While a catalytic event has yet to be seen that would force the city to get the light back to its original condition, the city will be focusing its efforts on fixing an intersection

nearby. With funding from a Transportation Safety Improvement Program grant from the Iowa Department of Transportation, the city will be replacing all of the traffic lights at Highways 3 and 65. An additional grant through the DOT will also make the curbs at the intersection ADA compliant with the addition of ramps. Dunt said that crosswalks will not be a part of the project, and that the replacement lights will just be updated version of the structures currently there. The project is fully funded by DOT grants, at $137,900, with the city only liable for the design and construction administration fees, totaling $14,700. See STOP LIGHTS: Page 3

Henze became not only the first business owner from Hampton to enter the competition, but took home the first win for the city, securing $8,000 for her business in the sub-state regional competition in Charles City, the maximum amount for the sub-state class. Her idea was centered around adding freezers and coolers into the business, so that she could sell frozen food, as well as getting new carts and baskets. As a winner of the region, Henze was able to move onto the state competition, where she was eligible to win up to $20,000 for a brand new idea. This time, Henze wanted to add a drive thru as well as special area for restaurants to purchase products

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin General Hospital Board will hold a public hearing for its renovation project that hopes to both provide additional services to patients, while also streamlining patient experience. The project will convert the hospital’s old records storage office into a useable space, that will remodel the entire clinic portion of the facility. The proposed plans will do away with a counter for patients to check in. “When you used to go to the clinic, you would talk to the people with the entire waiting room behind you,” said CEO of FGH Kim Price. “That’s ok if you just have a cold, but not for anything else.” The renovation of the clinic will feature four private check-in rooms for patients to enter. Patients will then regroup with each other in the waiting room, until they are called back into exam rooms. The remaining portion of the records space will hold an office and consulting room for the facility’s health coach and its navigator, who are currently set up in a temporary office.

in bulk; supplementing that, she wanted to implement a rewards programs for shoppers. Though her ideas were competitive, Henze was not a recipient of the grant, but that isn’t stopping her progress on making her business a larger part of the community of Hampton. “[The competition] was absolutely a valuable experience with the networking I could do,” Henze said. “I met a lot of interesting people and it was cool hearing new ideas.” Henze said that the most impactful idea she heard was a small business who manufactured hand-made goods, using portions of the price as donations to third world countries. “The business I’m in is donating product and helping out with food pantries,” Henze said. “It’s interesting to see that there’s a way to raise awareness and make it profitable, while also helping out.”

Henze owns the space and works with her father, incorporating retail into their wheelhouse. “I like to be around people,” Henze said of her business. “I’m not a warehouse person.” With assistance from the community, Henze received $2,000 to help her secure her warehouse-styled building in the form of a grant. Continuing the momentum with her idea, The Chamber of Greater Franklin County Director Newton Grotzinger encouraged Henze to apply for the competition. “These competitions put free money on the table for individuals,” Grotzinger said. “I want our businesses to take advantage of it.”

BY TRAVIS FISCHER Public access to police records has become a hot topic in recent weeks following a court decision that determined law enforcement could withhold investigative records.

Sergeant Paul TIM ALLEN, Perez k , St ate former homicide Representative detective Kevin Kester, former homicide detective Tim Allen, AP reporter Ryan Foley, and Cedar Rapids Gazette reporter Erin Jordan. Providing background on the current debate, Allen explained that he is a former Louisiana homicide detective that had been investigating cold cases. His investigations ran into an obstacle when the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) denied his request for old case files. Allen, believing that DCI and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) were being too strict about their policy on releasing information took them to court to have the files released.

Hampton PD reminds residents to use discretion with unwarranted phone calls Continued phone scams from fraudulent agencies BY ETHAN STOETZER As a public service announcement to the residents of Hampton, Police Chief Robert Schaefer advised the community to practice discretion with unexpected callers asking for personal information or money. Schaefer said that the two most popular phone scams impacting residents involve phony Internal Revenue Service (IRS) calls and Publisher’s Clearing House (PCH) awards. Victims of attempted IRS scammers have reported messages being left on answering machines, threatening arrest from the county sheriff’s office if the call is not responded to within 24 hours. Schaefer said that typically, the IRS will communicate with citizens via mail or will actively visit the residence. Scammers from the phony PCH will call residents and claim that they have a large prize and will schedule a time to visit the home. They will then call later and ask for money for the shipping of the award through cash cards. According to the PCH, award will normally just be shipped straight to the house.

CAL School Improvement Advisory Committee recommends 2016-17 goals to school board BY ETHAN STOETZER The CAL School Improvement Advisory Committee convened last week to create goals for the 2016-17 school year. Improvement Advisory Committees are mandated by the Iowa Department of Education as ad hoc committees that run independently from the school board. The committee reviews school data to make curriculum recommendations to the governing board. Led by shared Curriculum Director of Hampton-Dumont, Jen Koenen, the committee was primarily focused on the use of testing as a measure of the district’s success, and where it leaves CAL among other schools in the state. The committee’s primary focus has typically been around math, reading and science. These ad hoc committees not only allow for the evaluation of a school’s testing results and data, but are also instrumental in the recent state law that requires all students who underperform in reading and literacy to repeat third grade. In response to this law, schools have been required to implement strategic intervention, testing and screening, which can be reviewed by these ad hoc committees. Koenen reviewed copious amounts of data that have been made available by the state, that allow schools to focus on marginal items that it could not do previously. Much of the meeting’s discussion centered around Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments and the school’s “report card” as issued by the Iowa Department of Education.

Running in tandem with the MAP assessments, the Iowa Department of Education conducts an annual assessment known as the District Differentiated Accountability Status. Prior to this review, the department would conduct a review of a school district every five years. To allow for ease of intervention, the department uses the new assessment to both review the district’s compliance in record keeping and schedules (making sure students receive the proper amount of time per subject), and in observing data from five “healthy indicators.” The department’s new exam is relatively new and is currently being rolled out in phases. Current available healthy indicator data are “Assessment and Data-Based Decision Making” and “Universal Instruction.” Koenen explained that indicators are mostly targeted at literacy, because of the state’s new law. According to the graph, 83.12 percent of all students from Pre-k to grade 6 were tested for literacy. These tests for literacy are typically three minutes tests conducted in fall, winter and spring. For students that did not reach the benchmarks for their grade, districts are required to conduct monitored testing, weekly, to measure student progress during intervention. Only 9.32 percent of students who didn’t meet the benchmark were monitored, earning the district an “intensive” marking. This means that the department will be visiting the school to provide strategies on how to improve testing.

Construction is slated to start this week, with it’s completion before the end of the year. While the city is not currently investing in repairing or placing the lights at Main St. and Hwy 3, Dunt said that the council might revisit getting a similar grant to repair those signals. The city will be however paving colored crosswalks at key intersections around the intersection, which should offer assistance for pedestrians crossing the road.

WIZE BIZE Though she didn’t win $20,000, Henze is continuing forward with keeping her business on the cutting edge. She is waiting for confirmation that would allow her store to accept EBT funds, and is in the process of establishing the rewards program. Grotzinger said that he was proud of Henze’s accomplishment, and expressed that he wants another Hampton business to compete. “We want to see our businesses succeed,” Grotzinger said. “When there’s money on the table, we want someone to take it.”

RECORDS “If you want to know what happened, they’re going to have everything documented or filed,” said Parizek. However, for supplemental files, Parizek says that sensitive information may need to be redacted to protect other cases. For instance, in gang related cases. “The cycle of violence with gang related issues is very obvious to everyone so we may close one homicide case and there may be a lot of information in that supplemental report in the investigative files that could impact the closure of another case that we’re working on,” said Parizek. “Or it could compromise the safety of a witness or victim in a case moving forward. Then we would definitely want to hold those things back.” Parizek also explained that the motives behind the request also factor into the decision of whether to withhold or release information. “I will forever argue that the spirit of that law was to inform and educate, not to entertain,” said Parizek. “When we have certain requests that are clearly based on entertainment as opposed to informing and educating the public then you’re probably not going to get the same response.” Citing two recent examples, Parizek explained that they have withheld video on a case where a fleeing suspect crashed into a bystander’s car, causing a fatal accident. The suspect has claimed that police pushed his car into the bystander. “I have seen the video. We did not hit that man’s car,” said Parizek. “There’s nothing I would like more than to put that video out, just to put that whole thing to rest.” However, Des Moines Police hasn’t released the video out of concern that it may compromise the suspects right to a fair trial and that it may set a precedent that would make it harder to justify withholding other videos. Such as a request for the video of the fatal car accident earlier this year when a drunk driver hit a police transport, killing two officers, the prisoner, and the driver. “My response to them was ‘I’ll burn the building down before I let that video out,’” said Parizek. “The

reason for that is that I see no educational value, nothing that could inform the public, about that. All it’s going to do is cause horrible pain.” But while Parizek argued for law enforcement to have the ability to withhold information that doesn’t serve the public, the counter argument warns that such practices open the door for law enforcement to pick and choose which information gets released based on how good it makes them look. “That is what I fear the road we’re going down,” said Foley. “That the police will use their discretion to release information that makes them look good and clears their officers of wrong doing, but that they will hold it back in cases where maybe there is questionable conduct on behalf of the police.” Foley provided an example of a recent case in Waterloo, where video of police brutalizing a man who had led them on a high speed chase was withheld on the investigative records exemption. Foley was able to receive a copy of the video from the suspects attorney and the subsequent release of the video has led to an ongoing discussion about police conduct in Waterloo. “I worry that, in cases like that, it’s being misused,” said Foley. The panel discussion opened up debate over who should be the gatekeeper when determining whether or not investigative files, particularly regarding video, should be released to the public, the police or the media. Under Iowa law, law enforcement does not legally have to release anything but the incident report. The more informative supplemental materials are released at their discretion. Changing that would require a legislative action. On that subject, Representative Kester said that Chapter 22, the public records law, was written before the advent of much of the technology used today in police investigations and is in need of an update. “There are 67 exemptions on how to conceal a public record,” said Kester. “There is a need for change

in the law.” Police body cam video in particular has become a complicated area when it comes to law enforcement policy. With law enforcement officers regularly entering people’s homes, not to mention schools and hospitals, there are unanswered questions on when police should be recording, who should see those videos, and even how long the video should be kept. For instance, if police video a subject should that person have the right to see the video? In some cases Parizek says that they have allowed people to privately view video, but there is no policy or law mandating that they do so. Other complications include video that is taken, but not attached to any specific criminal charges. Video of alleged police brutality may end up in an officer’s personnel file, rather than a court case, making it much more legally difficult to force into public view. Police are establishing their own protocols for when video is taken and how it is handled, but because it’s such complicated a subject it is difficult to develop simple rules for every situation. “We know that this is going to be a moving target for years to come because there is no legislation, because the technology evolves,” said Parizek. “Right now, what we’re left to deal with is Chapter 22 as it reads right now.” The crux of the issue seems to always come back on a lack of trust between law enforcement and the citizenry. Though most law enforcement agencies in the state apply common sense policies that find a middle ground between withholding sensitive information and respecting the people’s right to know, some agencies can and have used the exemptions in the public records law to circumvent its original intent. The panel found no conclusive solutions to the issue during their discussion, but the information provided from multiple points of views shed light on the many different factors that need to be considered.

“I am not an information anarchist,” said Allen. “There is a time and a place for information to be released. I whole heartedly believe that there are circumstances where releasing information can endanger an investigation and should be held closely.” However, the specific cases that Allen was looking at were 40 or more years old, one of which had already been cleared with an arrest. However, even in these cases, the DPS and DCI denied his request for information. “It’s that type of response that I think everybody gets when they make a request of DPS,” said Allen. Allen’s appeal to the court system to have the records released resulted in a ruling by Polk County District Court Judge Robert Blink, who determined that, because of the placement of a comma in Iowa’s open record’s laws, law enforcement agencies can effectively seal records indefinitely. Technically speaking, unsolved cases can remain open forever and breakthroughs can happen, however Allen says he was unable to get an answer about when any actual investigative action happened on these cases. “If after 40 years all the evidence in these cases has not been examined and all trace evidence, all possible biological evidence has not been collected and put into codes, I think that’s something the public should know about,” said Allen. “There comes a point where investigative reports become historical records.” While Allen’s investigation centered on old cases, the debate over open records also impacts access to current cases. Sgt. Parizek explained some of the reasons why law enforcement would want to withhold investigative details. While the Des Moines Police Department hasn’t established a policy of blanket denials, there are circumstances where they would hold back information. “We don’t want suspects to know what information we have or where we got it,” said Parizek. Regarding closed cases, Parizek’s first suggestion for people seeking records on closed cases is to go through the court system.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

Help us help you Everyone has their criticisms of the media. As journalists ourselves, no one has more criticisms towards the industry than we do. It gets under our skin when we watch moderators and reporters leave comments go unchecked; it drives us absolutely crazy when we see cat videos and celebrities, and ‘he said, she said’ stories dominate the screens. There’s a misconception out there that the media is this umbrella network that everyone who works for a communications department, carries a membership card to. And there’s meetings where everyone decides the agenda of what to cover and who to defame and insult, and which direction everyone should direct their attention to.

Our job is to inform you. Our job is to chronicle your life in paper; to give you the best information about your neighborhood as possible. No such place exists. We wish there was; it would make the jobs of being editors that much easier, having someone else give us pre-packaged materials and where to go to next. It’s just not true. The media gets a bad reputation, and it’s deserved in most cases. There’s coverage lapses, there’s inherent bias in all reporting, there’s walking the line of offending someone or groups and there’s ineptitude in doing the job of committing a whole town to paper. We signed up for this; we will take the blame. But not all media is bad. No one in journalism sets out to be bad at it; but intents and circumstances sometimes are construed with money and abilities. Help us help you. We newspapers don’t have a crystal ball that tell us everything that’s happening at one time. What makes the job of editor so challenging, is trying to have an ear everywhere at once, in Franklin County. We are pretty well staffed, but it’s almost next to impossible to be everywhere at once, while trying to write stories and get pictures, and cold calling to look for any information. Our job is to inform you. Our job is to chronicle your life in paper; to give you the best information about your neighborhood as possible. But we can’t be everywhere, no matter how much we wish. If we could be everywhere, we would love it. This week, we reported on an advisory meeting for the CAL school district, at which, many issues about how state education parameters don’t mix with city expectations and abilities. Those in attendance looked at each other, wondering how to let people know, while also wondering why they didn’t hear about these parameters and conditions themselves. They openly asked for someone to post this vital information. We at The Chronicle stand before you, with open pages. Help us help you. There’s no such thing as a bad story. A story is a story. A newspaper’s job is to publish stories that are important to the community. Give us a chance to help you. We may have messed up, but we are trying to do the best we can by being responsible journalists, and give you the information you need to live a great life in Franklin County. Call our office: (641) 456-2585, ext. 131. Email us: chroniclenews@midamericapub.com. School story? Council story? Police story? Have a question? Hear a rumor? Let us know. It’s not a bother, it’s holding us accountable, and we welcome it.

I would like to know when the city of Hampton elected officials and employees are going to pave 6 St. SW. I do not want to hear it costs too much. Saying it’s too costly to pave 6 St. SW is not a correct answer when the city of Hampton, elected officials and employees line their pockets with tax payer’s money and their pet projects. In fact, 6 St. SW should have been the first street paved for all the traffic allowed on it and all its utilization. It is a Highway 3 or 65, but only two lanes instead of four. Individuals speed on 6 St. SW like it is Highway 3 or 65. Every tax payer that lives on 6 St. SW has seen their taxes go for every other street, Band Shell Park and every other pet project that the city of Hampton’s elected officials and employees want, to the point of forcing vote after vote, after vote for their pet tprojects, until they get what they want: new pool/new school, etc. Now how is paying for that to stay operational? I do not mind supporting other projects with my taxes but I do mind elected officials and employees selective discrimination of selected selections of the city of Hampton. The city of Hampton’s elected officials and employees have allowed 6 St. SWto be used like Highway 3 and 65. They allow farmers to bring their grain to the elevator using 6 St. SW. They allow tractor trailers (18-wheelers) to go to the industrial park, and when they have had Highway 3 closed (Sept. 27, 2016, a.m.) I observed 18-wheelers going north and south on 6 St. SW, going somewhere unknown. They allow grandstand traffic from the fairgrounds to be directed towards 6 St. SW. They allow big, twowheeled farm field sprayers to use 6 St. SW. They allow

snow mobiles to 6 St. SW. They allow full-sized school buses on 6 St. SW and they are not picking up any students for school. I could go on and on about the traffic tat the city of Hampton’s elected officials and employees allow on the street. As you can see, the city of Hampton’s elected officials and employees use 6 St. SW as a highway like 3 and 65, to the point of allowing anything and everything to utilize it. It is my personal opinion and belief that the city of Hampton’s elected officials and employees neet to stop using select discrimination against the individual taxpayer’s of 6 St. SW. They have allowed 6 St. SW to be used as their traffic dump street for the southwest end of town. If the city of Hampton’s elected officials and employees want to claim it will cost too much to pave, then stop using 6 St. SW as their traffic dump street. I would like to know when our elected official is going to support their whole area and every individual tax payer. Every individual residing on 6 St. SW has seen their taxes go for everything from pay raises for the city of Hampton elected officials and employees, to employees’ clothing allowance (excluding police department), to cell phone, to employees’ insurance, to new a new middle school, to city trucks to police cars to new school buses, to a new pool, to Band Shell Park, etc. Point made. The city of Hampton’s elected officials need to stop te unnecessary pay raises, cell phone, clothing allowance for select city of Hampton employees, etc. and consider every individual within the city.

Early voting time UNDER THE GOLDEN DOME, TOO

Linda Upmeyer October is here and the chilly weather didn’t wait a second to come as well. As fall gets underway, that means harvest season is nearly here. Soon enough, farmers will be spending countless hours out in the fields doing what they do best: feeding the world. Be sure to watch for slow moving vehicles and have patience on the roads as harvest season kicks into full gear. Over the last two weeks, many areas across the state have been affected by severe flooding, including those in Butler County. The recent flooding brings back memories of the historic floods of 2008 that devastated communities all over the state. Fortunately, cities and towns were much more prepared this year with 2008 in the back of their minds. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt during the recent flooding. I’ve visited the communities of Clarksville and Greene in Butler County to see some of the damage myself. I’ve been working with local officials to be helpful where I can and point them in the right direction for resources when needed. During my tour, it was wonderful to see so many people from the community banding together during this crisis. People helped their neighbors move things out of houses and we even had students come down from

Clear Lake to help with the cleanup efforts. I’m so proud of our community. Everyone came together and I want to thank all of them for their hard work during this difficult time. The State of Iowa offers assistance to lower income households that have been affected by the flooding. Disaster assistance grants help people with home or care repairs, replacement of property, and expenses for temporary housing. More information and an application for assistance can be found on the Department of Human Services’ website. As recovery and cleanup efforts begin, please be aware of potential scams. During times of natural disasters, fraudsters attempt to take advantage of affected individuals claiming to offer financial assistance that doesn’t exist or pose as official representatives who are there to help. Don’t provide these people with personal information and report any suspicious activity that you may encounter. If I can be helpful to you in any way during this time of recovery, please let me know. Last week, we recognized National Voter Registration Day which encourages citizens to engage in the political process and register to vote. September 29 also marked the official early voting window in Iowa. Between now and Election Day, you can vote through a variety of options that’s most convenient for you. Whether you like to vote early, by mail, or at your polling location on Election Day, Iowa makes it easy to vote, ensuring access to one of our most basic rights. As always, please keep in touch. I

• VOTE BY MAIL Iowans can request an absentee ballot from their County Auditor to vote by mail. Voters that have already requested an absentee ballot should receive them after Sept. 29. If you request to vote absentee, but decide later to vote at the polls on Election Day, you need to return your absentee ballot to your County Auditor or take it with you to your voting location. To download and fill out an absentee ballot request form, visit the Secretary of State’s website or visit your County Auditor’s office. • VOTE EARLY IN-PERSON If you’re the type of person that likes to vote at the polls, but can’t make it on Election Day because you’re out of town or your schedule won’t permit it, you can vote early at a number of locations. Voting is available at your County Auditor’s office during normal business hours through Election Day. Satellite voting locations may also be available in your area prior to Nov. 8. Check with your County Auditor to find locations where you can vote early. • VOTE ON ELECTION DAY If neither of these options interests you, or if you just prefer to vote at the polls, you can always go to your local polling location on November 8 to vote in person. To find your polling place, contact the Franklin County Auditor or the Secretary of State’s office. look forward to traveling the district and much of the state continuing to visit with Iowans over the coming months.

MY FRIEND I was 10-years-old and under the covers with my transistor radio; my folks thought I was asleep. When they looked, they saw a lump under those covers but I was really at the game. Vin Scully had taken me there. Vinny’s retirement makes us remember all he has done for us. Transistor radios filled in the blanks at the game and away. When TV went digital a few years ago we decided we’d had enough. We’d planned our lives around getting in for the news and sat like zombies through hours of trash in order to see a couple min-

THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger utes of TV worth watching. TV was worse than shaving or smoking; eliminate a lifetime of it and we could be happy and productive for another 10 or 20 years. Instead of being mesmerized a la George Orwell, we worked, looked

at birds, read, talked to each other; stuff like that. Now the TVs are smaller, and everywhere. Out in public we see people dining together looking at their “devices.” Is Big Brother in there commanding them to believe...“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”? Now we are thinking of getting a TV antenna, for baseball. Upon moving to Iowa I adopted the Cubs as my team because I root for the underdog, Chicago has blues, and it’s close. See THE ALTERNATIVE: Page 5

The new television season is starting to ramp up, and while I’ll probably get to a more comprehensive review of this year’s offerings, there are a couple in particular that have caught my attention. In the ongoing train wreck that has been 2016, the television industry decided to throw a bitter cherry on top by pillaging some of my favorite childhood properties for their fall line-up. We start with “Lethal Weapon,” the gold standard of buddy-cop movies. Now it’s a primetime series on Fox. Don’t expect to see Mel Gibson here though. Instead his character is now played by Clayne Crawford, who either couldn’t be or wasn’t asked to drop his southern accent for the role. He also puts far too much product in his hair for someone we’re expected to believe is suicidal. Likewise, replacing Danny Glover as the perpetually “too old for this” straight man, we have Damon Waynes, who plays the character as a wisecracking cop that dresses like he just came from a 1920’s jazz club. Outside of vaguely similar back stories for the main characters, there is very little about the show that can be traced back to the movie. Which is to be expected because outside Mel Gibson and Danny Glover’s performances there really isn’t much about “Lethal Weapon” that distinguishes it from any other buddy cop drama. The strongest connection this TV show has to the source material seems to be the font for the logo. But hey, at least it has that much, which brings us to “MacGyver.” Where “Lethal Weapon” is a typical 2016 cop show that half-heartedly uses the Lethal Weapon name, CBS’s new “MacGyver” is a 2016 spy show that really wants to be like the original, but fails spectacularly. Now I don’t want to sound like a cranky old man, but who thought that “The Adventures of Baby MacGyver” was a good idea? Nothing against Lucas Till, but he is a decade younger than Richard Dean Anderson was when the original show aired in 1985. In spite of this, our new MacGyver is still a secret agent that uses household items to improvise a variety of tools and traps. Except now he has a large supporting cast that includes, a skilled soldier, a computer genius, and a wacky roommate that doesn’t know his friend spends his free time saving the world. Yes, MacGyver can still unlock handcuffs with a paperclip and create an electromagnet out of stripped wiring. However these feats lose their sense of astonishment when one of his teammates can hack into every camera on the west coast to track a terrorist. And even when MacGyver’s trademark resourcefulness does come into play, it’s not done well. In the pilot episode they need to flush out a terrorist in a hotel and we get to watch MacGyver’s team stand in awe as he uses cleaning supplies and aluminum foil to create a bucket of smoke to set off the fire alarm. As opposed to simply pulling the fire alarm. I’m not saying that the original series didn’t have some silly situations or use some questionable science, but even watching the original pilot this week I never felt like it was actively insulting my intelligence. There is hope at the end of the tunnel though. Sometimes TV gets it right, which brings us to “The Exorcist.” The 1973 movie is one of the alltime greats and the new television show, judging from the pilot episode, appears to be on track to being worthy of the franchise. Unlike “Lethal Weapon” and “MacGyver,” “The Exorcist” television show isn’t a remake, but a sequel set in the same universe as the movie. Story connections to the original are barely present, but the atmosphere is hauntingly familiar, pun intended. Where “Lethal Weapon” feels like a generic police procedural wearing the skin of the classic movie and “MacGyver” feels like a generic spy show with Mac uncomfortably crammed in, “The Exorcist” feels like “The Exorcist.” In spite of appearances to the contrary, I’m by no means against the idea of digging up old franchises and introducing them to a new audience. But if it’s going to be done, it should be done the right way. Too often an attempt to modernize a classic story results in losing the traits that made it a classic in the first place. At that point, you may as well just try your hand at a new property. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and watches bad television so you don’t have to.

OPINION & LOCAL NEWS

HAMPTON CHRONICLE • SECTION A

THE ALTERNATIVE Now the Cubs are on a tear and the Dodgers aren’t bad. I continue to think baseball represents life better than any sport. Pick a reason, but I think it is because there is no clock, there are limitless opportunities for those with ambition, and no one to blame but yourself. I’ve read several articles about Vinny lately that mentioned the transistor radio, after years of believing I was the only one. Could it be that all those sleepy students were pretending to be asleep so they could listen to the Dodger game? Sorta illustrates the value of revisionist history, doesn’t it? Scully is the only living man I’ve known longer than my barber. He started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. He moved with them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1957. He will call his last game Sunday afternoon with perennial rival, the Giants, who moved from New York to San Francisco that same year. Can you imagine having the same job for 67 years? Do you think Vin Scully always had everything fall into place for a perfect job? No. But he made it right for himself and we all profited from his effort to please himself through his job to bring this game to our ears. He stuck with it for 67 years.

LOOKING BACK

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2016

CAL GOALS Thank you, Mr. Scully. The recent death of superstar prospect, Jose Fernandez, makes it all the more moving that Vinny has given so much and also that so much is at stake. Fernandez defected from communist Cuba on his third try. He saved his mother’s life when she fell off the boat. He was jailed after his first two attempted flights to freedom. Another player sparked a parting commentary this year by Vin Scully, as a tiny rebuke to the leftist drivel coming from most other celebrities. Hernan Perez was up to bat for the Brewers (love that name). Scully mused of how Perez might think of the conditions he faces here compared to his home in Venezuela: “Socialism failing to work as it always does, this time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello. Anyway, Oh and Two.” Any comments on these articles are welcome through a letter to the paper or to 4selfgovernment@ gmail.com. My blog might interest you as well: www.alternativebyfritz.com.

The only other remaining data indicator is universal instruction, of which 50.78 percent of students reached the literacy benchmark when tested. By the end of the year, only approximately 80.95 percent of those tested remained at that benchmark, meaning that almost 20 percent of students tested retained their skills in literacy. This also was marked as “intensive” meaning that the department will be providing additional strategies on how to aid in keeping students at benchmark levels. District Administrator Steve Lane explained to the public that in the past, school districts who scored intensive were granted money from the department to provide more testing opportunities, while helping students meet benchmarks. Both Lane and shared Superintendent Todd Lettow said that the state doesn’t provide much funding anymore in assistance for students to reach benchmarks, outside of a yearly allotment. This makes it hard for school districts, like CAL, strapped for funds to really do much outside of daily education. The sentiment of the public was that schools are receiving more responsibility in making sure students keep up with their skills, now that parents are often working longer

FRANKLIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE

SCAMS

FGH

Civil Court The court handled one child support matter.

While the PCH scammers dissipate in time, the IRS scammers have persisted through the year, Schaefer said. He encourages residents to notify the police department of the time and number of the call. Unfortunately, the department’s authority is limited because most calls are from out of the state, or out of the country. The department can turn over the numbers to the attorney general, but it is very hard to track the source of such numbers to stop the scam. This applies to just about every phone scam. “Don’t ever release personal information over the phone unless you know exactly who the person is,” Schaefer said. “Never release your social security number or credit card information.” Schaefer said that typically, legitimate agencies neither ask for a full social security number, nor a full credit card number, but instead ask for the final four digits for proof of identity. Another scam that has occurred within the town has involved calling grandparents, with callers posing as grandchildren locked up in prison for narcotics. Another voice on the phone will pose as a police officer, demanding money for release. Schaefer said that residents should never state the names of family members over the phone or personal information that could give the scammer the ability to be effective. He also said that the resident can double check with the department to see if the grandchild has, in fact, been arrested. The police department is limited in its ability to stop scammers, so the only method of prevention is public discretion.

An additional two offices will also be established in the space. One for the clinic manager and the other for the lead clinic nurse, who is sharing with another mid-level nurse. The other portion of the renovations will be on the North side of the facility in the facility’s old storage space, which used to hold radiology film and records before the facility switched to Electronic Medical Records. In that space will be Senior Life Solutions, a program through the company Psychiatric Medical Care. The program specializes in both single and group therapy for elderly Medicare patients. “This will give us a service we don’t have,” Price said. “In Iowa, we don’t have enough psychologists. It’s a major issue. This will help us address those kinds of things.” The renovated north side will hold two group therapy rooms, three individual psychiatric offices, a vitals and nurse work room, as well as a reception area. The program, which is run through the Mercy network, has been slowly implemented in several facilities throughout the state, including Cresco and Osage. Its aims are to aid in acclimating elderly patients through the second phase of life, whether it be retiring and moving into the city, dealing with the death of a loved one or other life changing experiences. Price said that enough lead time has been set up, allowing for the center to be accessed immediately by patients. While the north side renovations are away from the larger hospital and can be freely worked on without much obstruction to hospital function, the clinic portion of the project will be fully operational while under construction. Registration for patients will be shared with the hospital portion of the facility until the exterior sheet rock walls are constructed. Price said that the Mercy network will be providing no money for the project, and that FGH has enough money set aside to make all the necessary improvements. Bids are expected to be heard at the Oct. 24 meeting, at 5 p.m., with a decision made after the hearing. Price said that the board is looking to have demolition occur in November with construction continuing in the winter.

District Court The court handled one probation violations. • Leonard Abkes, 43, Ackley, pled guilty on September 26 to Sex Offender Verification Violation 1st Offense. Abkes was fined $625 plus 35% surcharge, $2,500 in restitution, and $1,656.25 in costs. • Jeremiah Houk, 35, Hampton, pled guilty on September 27 to Criminal Mischief in the Fifth Degree (pled from Attempted Burglary in the Third Degree). Houk was fined $65 plus 35% surcharge, $267.50 in restitution, and $100 in costs. An additional charge of Possession of Burglars Tools was dismissed. • Peggy Warschkow, 51, Hampton, pled guilty on September 27 to Theft in the Fifth Degree. Warschkow was sentenced to 90 days of no supervision, ordered to pay a $125 Law Enforcement Initiative, $127.87 in restitution, and $60 in costs. • Andrew Farrer, 29, Latimer, pled guilty on September 27 to Disorderly Conduct Loud or Raucous Noise (pled from Public Intoxication). Farrer was fined $100 plus 35% surcharge and $60 in costs. • Bailey Miller, 19, Hampton, pled guilty on September 26 to Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Miller was fined $65 plus 35% surcharge, $125 Law Enforcement Initiative, and $60 in costs. Small Claims • Fabian Arias Ramirez, Hampton vs. Marcalino Aranda Oritz, Clarion.

Beavers Snap 12-Game IIAC losing streak CAREER DAY FOR MILLER, FLICKINGER LEADS BVU TO WIN OVER LORAS DUBUQUE – Making his first career start under center, sophomore quarterback Cole Miller set a school single-game record with 32 completions for 415 yards and four touchdowns as he helped lead the Buena Vista football team to a strong 34-24 road win at Loras College on Saturday afternoon. Miller finished 32-of-39 in the contest as BVU chalked up a season-high 545 yards of total offense. He broke teammate Tory Beger’s previous school mark of 31 completions set last year, also against Loras. Sophomore Charlie Flickinger had himself a career day as well, hauling in a career-best seven catches for 135 yards. He caught touchdown passes of nine and 62 yards from Miller with the latter putting BVU in front for good with 5 minutes, 53 seconds left in the third quarter. Both Miller and Flickinger are 2015 Hampton-Dumont graduates. The win snaps the team’s 12game Iowa Conference losing streak that dates back to the 2014 season. Buena Vista is 1-4 on the year (1-2 IIAC) and will be off this week before returning home to host Luther College on Oct. 15 for Homecoming.

Cougars overcome adversity, top N-K BY JOHN JENSEN ACKLEY — AGWSR High School football coach James Koop watched his team overcome adversity for the first time in three weeks Friday as the Cougars remained in the thick of the 8-player playoff race with a 24-16 victory over Northwood-Kensett. The Cougars (4-2 overall, 2-1 in 8-player District 2) overcame a pair of early turnovers and injuries to their top two running backs while bouncing back from back-to-back losses to highly-ranked opponents. “They’re a lot like we are,” Koop said. “I thought their kids hit hard, I thought they tackled well, I thought they played to the end but (we) responded to adversity. That’s the first time we have in two weeks. “Every time they had an answer for us we responded, and that’s what we were lacking the last two weeks – that and speed. The boys knew we needed the win, we got the win, when we needed to milk the clock we got key first downs because they were buckling down, lowering their shoulders and doing what we needed to do.” Defense keyed AGWSR’s victory. The Cougars held N-K’s high-powered triple-option rushing attack to 151 yards, more than one-third of which came on a single play after the Vikings had abandoned their option game. “We repped (the option) all week,” Koop said. “We knew we had to watch (N-K quarterback Ca-

leb Kliment). An option, if you’re responsible, there’s somebody for the quarterback, for the fullback and the tailback. If you play disciplined defense you can cause problems, and we did that.” The Cougars held Kliment, who came into the game averaging more than 100 yards per game, to just 26 yards on 14 carries. Most of the Vikings’ yards came from freshman tailback Marquis Berry, who finished with 74 yards including the long fourth-quarter score. Koop said senior defensive lineman Caleb Meinders played his best game since being cleared by doctors to play football after missing most of last season and the first game of this season with an illness. “I can’t say enough about Caleb,” Koop said. “He works as hard as anybody else and did a great job.” Offensively, the Cougars attempted to diversify things. Quarterbacks Nathan Karsjens and Aaron Roelfs alternated throughout the first half before injuries to halfbacks Mason Eilderts and Liam Stubbe forced Roelfs to play the position in the second half. Eilderts was in street clothes and on crutches before the game ever started and Koop said Stubbe suffered a possible concussion in the first half. Karsjens paced the Cougars with 137 yards and three touchdowns rushing while Roelfs added 85 yards and Stubbe 27 before being injured. Freshman Lucas Starr filled in for Stubbe on defense and also played

halfback in the fourth quarter, scoring a crucial touchdown. • AGWSR STRUCK PAY DIRT on its first possession on a 14-yard Karsjens run and appeared set to get the ball back in good field position before N-K recovered a muffed punt at the Cougar 24 and needed just two plays to find the end zone. The Vikings’ conversion run gave them their only lead of the night, 8-6. AGWSR fumbled the ball back to the Vikings again on its next series, though the defense held. Meinders threw Kliment for a seven-yard sack on second down before the Viking senior threw a pair of incomplete passes to turn the ball back to the Cougars on downs. AGWSR took advantage of the opportunity, driving 58 yards on seven plays. Karsjens found Stubbe open for a 35-yard pass completion to the 1-yard line on fourth down and then kept the ball himself a play later for the touchdown. The Cougars extended their lead to 18-8 in the second quarter with a 12-play, 66-yard drive that Karsjens capped with his third touchdown of the night. Northwood-Kensett drove deep into Cougar territory late in the first half, only to see the Cougars intercept a pass on the final play before halftime. Neither team moved the ball in the third quarter. AGWSR put an

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has driven a racing simulator as part of his rehabilitation for a concussion, and he said Saturday that the next eventual step would be to get into one of his late model stock cars. The Hendrick Motorsports driver continues to recover from a concussion suffered June 12 at Michigan that has kept him out of the car since July 9 at Kentucky. “I’m not ready to get in a car,” Earnhardt said Saturday. “I know that. I’ll know when I’m ready and it’s not one of them things that has a schedule. You don’t know when you’re going to be, ‘All right, I’m good, let’s go do this.’”

This week’s race is the fourth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and the first race of the Contender Round. Charlotte Motor Speedway opened its gates the same year, 1960, as Atlanta Motor Speedway, now a sister track owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc. Not only was the track unique in its design, the track’s founders, Bruton Smith and Curtis Turner, made the announcement that the first event would be 600 miles in length. Today, it is the largest sports facility in the Southeast and has over 167,000 permanent seats, including 121 executive suites, and capacity for nearly 50,000 spectators in the infield area. The speedway was the first superspeedway to host night racing in 1992.

Martin Truex Jr. cruised to a decisive victory in Sunday’s Citizen Soldier 400 at Dover International Speedway. It was a race that pared the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup ﬁeld from 16 drivers to 12. Winning for a fourth time this season, a second time at Dover and the seventh time in his career, Truex was without peer pressure after a pit road snafu on Lap 279 of 400. This knocked Johnson off the lead lap and out of contention for the win. Racing at the track closest to his Mayetta, New Jersey, home, Truex beat runner-up Kyle Busch to the ﬁnish line by 7.527 seconds. If Truex wasn’t considered the driver to beat after his Chase-opening victory at Chicagoland, he will be after drubbing the rest of the competition on Sunday. It was a Martin Truex Jr. blowout, a Jamie McMurray blow-up and a Jimmie Johnson “We blew it again.”

insurance touchdown on the scoreboard one minute into the fourth quarter as Starr scored on a seven-yard sweep. The score proved crucial, as the Vikings responded with a touchdown of their own just 90 seconds later as Berry broke free on a dive play and Kliment threw a conversion pass to Colton Moretz that made it a one-score game. The Cougar offense got the ball back with more than six minutes showing on the clock and did not give it back. Karsjens converted a third-and-long with a 12-yard run and then used a hard count to force an N-K penalty on another third down. Finally, with 1:12 left and facing a fourth-and-short, Karsjens called his own number on a sneak for the game-winning first down. The Cougars play their final regular-season road game Friday at Clarksville while Northwood-Kensett (3-3 overall, 3-1 in District play) makes the long trip to Turkey Valley to face the undefeated Trojans.

This week in the NFL proved to us all that we really don’t know much about a lot of teams, except the really good, and the really bad. A team that got totally dominated last week—the Pittsburgh Steelers—and lost 3-34 to the Eagles, turned around and thumped the Chiefs, with Roethlisberger compiling 300 yards and five touchdowns, and Bell marking his return from suspension with 144 rushing yards. At first thought, I think Pittsburgh is one of the top teams in the NFL, but then I remember last week’s meager showing of 3 points against Philadelphia. The jury is still out on the Steelers. Another team that had a strange week was the New England Patriots, who looked dominant against the Texans, then went and got shut out at home against the Bills and Rex Ryan. I think Pat’s fans rested easy Sunday night though, knowing their best player will be back to play the Browns in Week 5, who will gift Tom Brady with the worst team in football for his first game back. Last week Julio Jones, wide receiver of the Atlanta Falcons, had one reception for 16 yards. This week, against the Super Bowl runner-up Carolina Panthers, Jones grabbed 12 receptions for an eye-popping 300 yards and a TD. It is an accomplishment when a quar-

terback throws for 300 yards, its otherworldly when a receiver gets that many. Even in this NFL era of inflated offensive numbers, where QBs are routinely throwing 4000yard seasons, Jones has been stellar. He averages 96.9 receiving yards per game. No other receiver in history has averaged that many yards per game. He has better numbers than Jerry Rice did at this point in his career. This obviously has to do with the big numbers offenses are putting up these days, but it is still extremely impressive, and I say Julio Jones is the best wideout in football right now. We will see if that changes next week as Atlanta and Jones will enter the “No Fly Zone” in Denver. My Broncos are 4-0, and didn’t miss a beat when rookie Paxton Lynch came in relief duty when Trevor Siemian injured his shoulder. Even a lightning storm in Tampa couldn’t stop the domination by Denver against a helpless Jameis Winston, who had one good touchdown drive, and then ran for his life the rest of the afternoon. Can we all agree the AFC will come down to the Broncos and Patriots for the right to play in the Super Bowl? The NFC is shrouded in mystery. The preseason favorites, the Cardinals and Panthers, are both 1-3, while two surprisingly undefeated teams—Eagles and Vikings—had their bye this week. All of a sudden the L.A. Rams are 3-1, even though No. 1 draft pick Jared Goff continues to sit. We are already a quarter of the way through the 2016 NFL season, and we haven’t even begun to figure things out.

So much more than volleyball ƒ North Butler, West Fork battle during Pink Out, Senior Night after flood recovery BY KRISTI NIXON GREENE – There was so much going on packaged around the North Butler vs. West Fork volleyball match on Tuesday, Sept. 27. A night that had already been planned to raise money for breast cancer awareness in which the Bearcats were wearing pink uniforms, they also recognized their four seniors and made a heartfelt thank you to those in the West Fork community who came to help with flood/ storm recovery when the Shell Rock River went out of its banks the week before as well as a small tornado that hit Greene.

And, oh yeah, there was a Top of Iowa Conference match to be played. That went to West Fork, 3-1, after it got off to a fast start and held on against a hard-charging Bearcat team in the 25-9, 25-21, 20-25, 25-23 final. The first set wasn’t indicative of what was to come in the match. “I think it was just the girls getting back in rhythm,” North Butler coach Bryan Tabbert said. “They missed part of practice Wednesday because of the tornadoes that came. We had to spend three hours in the boys’ locker room, half without power, didn’t have school Friday,

missed our tournament Saturday. Monday, we finally had practice and the girls are sore from sandbagging, picking up trees, stuff like that. “They came in sore, so I didn’t want to push them too much because we knew we had a big game (the next day). So, it was just a matter of getting back into the rhythm of volleyball.” West Fork coach Abbee Dickman realized that the lack of practice and playing time factored into the slow Bearcat start. “That’s very, very possible and I feel awful on that side of it because they probably didn’t get as much practice time in and probably couldn’t even get here to the gym to practice,” Dickman said.

More of the same bothers Bulldogs BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – A lot of what has set the Hampton-Dumont football team back this season happened again on Friday, Sept. 30 in a 3412 Class 2A District 2 loss to Clear Lake. A promising 13-play opening drive was thwarted on a turnover and H-D lost the turnover battle against the Lions to fall to 0-6, 0-4 in the district. It was a setback, also, in that for all of the improvements the Bulldogs had made in the previous two weeks seemed to be lost in this game. “It was a disappointing game for us,” H-D coach Dan Aalbers said. “We thought we would compete better. “We’ve had trouble with ball security and it continued tonight, unfortunately.” After trading possessions, Clear Lake got the first score after coming up with a huge punt block that put the ball on the H-D two-yard line. A play later, the Lions had the lead for good. Hunter Sutter intercepted Lion quarterback Thomas Storbeck in the second quarter, but three plays later, he was picked off that set up another sustained drive for Clear Lake that resulted in a 14-0 lead. And then a big Lion 74-yard pass play made it 22-0 at the half. H-D put a few things together late in the third quarter and into the fourth to avoid the shutout. The Bulldogs 11 play drive that was aided by three big penalties on the Lions, including pass interference, a personal foul and a facemask that gave them first and five from the 10yard line. Two plays later, Caleb Chaney scored from a yard out just a few ticks into the fourth quarter. After Clear Lake extended its lead to 28-6, Dustin Miller caught a big 35-yard pass from Sutter with 6:05 left that put the final touches on the extent of H-D’s scoring. Sutter was 9-of-15 passing for 91 yards as well as the touchdown and interception. “I thought Hunter threw the short ball well for us tonight,” Aalbers said. “We were able to get some stop passes and a few bubbles and try to give a little pressure up front off of our line, I guess, by trying to get the ball out real quick.”

ant than volleyball right there.” But in the end, the quick start by West Fork proved to be the deciding factor. Jacqlyn Caspers recorded a match-high 13 kills and Lexi Bray added 12. Four of Caspers’ kills were tips. “We battled,” Tabbert said. “West Fork is a great team. Jacqlyn Caspers is a great athlete and has that natural height that we had trouble dealing with. She was able to tip the ball at us.” But Dickman said she would have rather seen her team put down straight kills rather than tip against North Butler. “I like strategy and I like the fact that they like to hit,” Dickman said. “I always tell them, ‘it’s not how hard you can hit, it’s the placement of the ball.’ Tonight, it wasn’t just the placement. We were able to capitalize when we hit hard and they were struggling with it. To be honest, when they

blocked a couple it went in our head a little bit, that’s what happens. We got scared and backed down; I told them, ‘if you get scared, are you going to lay there and take it or are you going to fight back?’ and they came through, and I’m proud of them.” In the fourth and final set, with the score knotted at 23, Bray recorded a push kill and then Teya Adams’ ace ended it. “We knew North Butler is a good team and no matter their record, they are a strong team and they come and they fight,” Dickman said. “They might not always have six volleyball players, but they always have six athletes on the court and that’s why I always love playing against them. “Because they are competitive and tonight we were able to capitalize on the first two games and luckily for us, we took the first handily and in the third game, we knew we

ƒ Recent rainfalls affect course at Maynes Grove for cross country meet

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – When teams and fans alike arrived at Maynes Grove for the annual Hampton-Dumont cross country meet, they found a new course awaiting them. The usual starting line was moved about 300 meters further down the course and runners were taking off downhill instead, taking a different loop around the trails since rainfall left part of the regular course boggy and unusable. But you ask the area runners who have competed on the course before and they liked the change, even though it is likely temporary. “I actually liked the course tonight,” H-D junior Patty Teggatz said. “It’s not too different than the original. I like that it starts out downhill. I’m thinking they are going to switch it back for conference.” Teggatz finished fifth, behind West Fork sophomore Kenna Weaver, both finishing in the 20-minute range. It was a consensus agreement for most of the runners that they liked this layout, though. “I loved it,” West Fork junior Talia Rowe said. “I didn’t run well because of personal reasons, but I loved it. Probably one of my favorites after Eagle Grove. Every day in practice we do hills, and this was all hills. (Coach Mark) Twedt knows that is important. It was all hills and this was our course, basically.” Rowe finished 18th as the Warhawks were fourth in the 10-team field. Osage, with four of its top five in the top-10 individually, won the team title with 42 points followed by Humboldt and individual champion Bryce Gidel in 19:19.11. The top four finishers have been ranked all season. Teggatz, though she has never finished lower than a top-10 finish all season, has not reached the top-30 rankings in 2A. And Humboldt originally wasn’t part of the H-D Invite field. “There definitely were (a lot of good runners here),” Teggatz said. “My goal was to go under 21, keep under 21 and I need to get my PR, probably shooting for it next race (20:48). “A lot of teams haven’t had a lot of races and wanted to come here to get another in. I say, the more competition, the better.” Maddison Shupe (25th), Miranda Dixon (34th) and Rachael Hubka (44th) rounded out the Warhawk girls’ finishers included in team scoring.

Hampton-Dumont’s Patty Teggatz and West Fork’s Kenna Weaver are on the heels of Faith Carpenter of Nashua-Plainfield in the early stages of the Hampton-Dumont Invite at Maynes Grove. Weaver and Teggatz were fourth and fifth, respectively, among the top area finishers in the race. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

“We’re getting better,” Rowe said. “This is only the third time we’ve actually raced because all of the weather. If I would have maintained what I did, we should do well and hopefully get to state with what we have. “Good competition here today and we needed that.” With four of the top runners in Class 2A and 1A in the boys’ field, the top two created some separation from 1A top-ranked Jake Hansen with a mile to go. Hansen was fourth overall in 17:17 behind Reece Smith of G-H-V (16:25), Riley Bauer of North Union (16:34) and G-H-V’s Logan Dalbeck (16:58). “I was feeling good before the race started and the first half,” Hansen said. “I don’t know, it’s been frustrating. My workouts have been so much better than the races. I can’t run any faster in the races; it doesn’t make sense. I just need some rest, I’ll be fine. “I thought it was an okay course today. It wasn’t extremely fast except for the top guys. A couple of mud spots, didn’t affect it too much.” The Warhawk boys were fourth out of 11 complete teams at the meet, scoring 103 points. G-H-V, with all five of its scorers among the top-12 easily won with 28 team points. Also scoring for West Fork were Josh Stevens (20 th), Zach Martinek (23rd), Connor Schulz (31st) and Brett Barkema (37th). H-D’s top finisher among the boys, Parker Allen, was 25th overall, just passed on a late kick by C-G-D/ CAL’s Luke Rapp with both finishing at 19:12. Allen, too, thought the course worked well. “It was still muddy and wet back there but it turned out well for the

way we put it together,” Allen said. “I felt pretty good, we practiced three days out here, and it really helped me to get where I need to be. I used them (the good runners) to push me. I ran with Jacob Hansen a little bit, for a few seconds, it helped me to know I’m doing well.” Neither H-D team had enough runners to complete a team score. 2016 HAMPTON-DUMONT INVITATIONAL Girls Team Scoring 1.

WF VOLLEYBALL “We were wondering if we were going to have the game at our place because of the situation. It was an opportunity to play tonight and our girls did a good job tonight as well as theirs.” In the opening set, North Butler recorded seven kills. The following three sets the Bearcats put down 35 more with both Nicole Heeren and Kayla Siemens tallying nine while Darby Christensen and Emy Osterbuhr with eight apiece. That contributed to the set three win that forced the fourth which was back-and-forth. “The girls bounced back from all of it,” Tabbert said. “The girls summed up the community, not going to the Denver tournament so they could stay and help out family here in Greene. I spent Saturday helping out coach (Ross) Hawker clean out the Greene Recorder, pulling out carpet. That’s more import-

couldn’t just die down. To be completely honest, I knew something was going to happen. I was just waiting for it. It wasn’t a shock.” Tabbert considered the way his team fought back a thing to build from. “Once they got back into volleyball, built up the confidence, I think they were able to play with West Fork, just a little too late for us,” Tabbert said. “I told the girls I was proud of them. We battled back from everything that happened last week and we battled back from the first set.”

West Fork Warhawks Braun runs wild as swept by Central Springs Cowboys defeat Cardinals

SHEFFIELD – Central Springs came to Sheffield and won three close sets to earn a sweep of West Fork on Thursday, Sept. 29. Despite a match-high 17-kill effort by the Warhawk senior Lexi Bray, the Panthers pulled out the 25-23, 25-19, 26-24 win. Jacqlyn Caspers added nine kills and a pair of blocks, as well as 8-of-8 serving with an ace. Getting double-duty on the day was Maddison Shupe, who ran earlier in the day at the Hampton-Dumont cross country invitational, only to come back and record four kills, a block and an assist for the volleyball team. But the Warhawks came up short in falling to 9-6 overall, 5-2 in the Top of Iowa East, dropping to third behind Osage and Central Springs. West Fork looked to rebound at home against Nashua-Plainfield on Tuesday, Oct. 4 during homecoming week. The Warhawks also received the post-season assignment, scoring a spot against Rockford on the road on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Central Springs 25-25-26, West Fork 23-19-24 Kills – CS (Maria Franke 13, Hannah Wagner 16, Hailee Ausenhus 6, Nicole McCoid 6, Kaylee Parks 3); WF (Lexi Bray 17, Jacqlyn Caspers 9, Maddison Shupe 4, Teya Adams 3, Kaitlyn Liekweg, Madison Patten).

Quarterback scores four TD’s, picks up 226 yards BY LES HOUSER GARNER – Cowboy quarterback Kainan Braun has been playing like a man on a mission this year, and he simply took over last Friday’s game at Garner-Hayfield/Ventura. The Cardinals had no answer for stopping the attack as Braun finished with 226 yards on 17 carries (a 13.3yard average) and four scores as the Cowboys kept themselves solidly in playoff contention with a 38-17 win. Joining Braun in the final rushing numbers were Nate Rapp with 93 yards on 23 attempts, Reymundo Vasquez with 57 yards on 15 carries and Jesse Carrillo with 13 yards on just one try. Braun only had to throw four times, completing one to Chase Harker for 11 yards. Jacob O’Connor also stepped behind center, completing a pass to Braun for no yards. Rapp also returned one kickoff for 35 yards, Israel Rivera one kick for 32 yards and Harker one for 17. Harker also returned one punt for a yard. Boyd was 2-of-4 in PAT’s for 50 percent. Braun was equally effective on defense, making five solo tackles and one assist. Harker and Rivera had four solo stops each, with Harker making four assists and Rivera one. Rapp, Will Weidemann and Avery Harrington all made three solo tackles each, with Rapp and Weidemann also making seven assists each. Braun and Vasquez added an interception each. The scoring summary and team stats were not available at press time, The Cowboys (4-2, 2-2) play host to Clear Lake (2-4, 2-2) this Friday. The Lions are coming off a 34-12 win over Hampton-Dumont.

Hampton-Dumont’s Makayla Severs (13) and Kaitlyn Hansen (12) go up to block against Sydney Lane of Humboldt during the Bulldogs’ match against the unbeaten Wildcats. H-D took the opening set, but lost 3-1. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

READY TO PLAY

ƒ Bulldogs take opening set from No. 8 Humboldt, fall in four BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – The Hampton-Dumont volleyball team showed it came in ready to show it meant business against unbeaten and eightranked (3A) Humboldt on Thursday, Sept. 29. The Bulldogs overcame a 9-7 deficit in the opener and came away with the 25-17 opening set win over the Wildcats. They lost momentum, however, after holding a 14-9 advantage in the second set following a Humboldt timeout in the eventual 17-25, 25-23, 25-14, 25-11 loss. “Obviously the girls were pumped to come in that they were taking on the challenge they knew what was in front of them,” H-D head coach Dave Harms said. “They knew what kind of team they were up against and they knew what they had to do to bring the game to them. “And as the evening transpired, they started to lose that edge a little bit, the Humboldt Wildcats started to get a little more comfortable and that’s what I told them was key

They knew what kind of team they were up against and they knew what they had to do to bring the game to them. — DAVE HARMS, H-D head coach early: we had to keep them uncomfortable, off their game early and obviously that worked early on. As they started to get miss-hits and little things like that we just had to overcome some things there.” Humboldt (23-0) have a commanding tandem of Taylor Gidel (18 kills) and Abby Zaugg (14) and got help from Sydney Lane (nine) that helped put the Wildcats in front for good. Still, H-D kept the second set close until 23-21 on a kill by Gidel off of the Bulldogs’ block.

“I think that our game plan was to hit it hard, hit it at them and put the blocks up in front of them,” Harms said. “That block paid dividends for them. I think the girls started to get tired as the night went on and maybe the balls weren’t quite as high and they were coming off a little bit in some cases and we started to running them down. “The energy was waning a little bit, but the girls still had a lot of fight left in them. I thought they fought hard and they deserved to win, we’ll have to see if it pays off down the road.” Makayla Severs put down nine kills and Gabbie Tielke added eight more, getting most of them in the first two sets. It looked like the Bulldogs exuded a confidence at the outset. “We talked about how Algona and Iowa Falls were a couple of games that got away from us, we were the team that could beat them, they just had to believe in themselves,” Harms said. “As we came into tonight, I challenged them to do what they did tonight early on. They came through like gangbusters. It’s just a situation where you have to win three sets, and we came a little short on that situation.” The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union pairings came out on Friday, pitting H-D in the opening round against Garner-Hayfield-Ventura, a team the Bulldogs outlasted in five earlier last week on the road on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Harms speculated where his team would start out, saying no matter what, his team would be ready. “It will be interesting to see who we get because we were 7-7 going into tonight and so as we put another loss in the column, it might turn the scales on who we might get,” Harms said. “If we get a team that is middle of the road, or we can go with anybody, obviously we showed tonight that we can go with the top, too. It would be nice to have an easier road to start and gain momentum in the post-season. If we get momentum, anything can happen.” Humboldt 17-25-25-25 Hampton-Dumont 25-23-14-11 Kills – Hum (Taylor Gidel 18, Abby Zaugg 14, Sydney Lane 9, Shelbie Miller 5, Cassie Peyton 4, Olivia Hildreth 3, Kelsey Peters 2); H-D (Makayla Severs 9, Gabbie Tielke 8, Ana Westhoff 5, Cassy Miller 4, Halie Dombrowski 3, Dakota Sliter 3, Kaitlyn Hansen 2).

HOLIDAY HACKS:

Simple seasonal solutions FAMILY FEATURES

he air is getting cooler, leaves are changing colors and days are getting shorter. All of these seasonal changes signal that the holidays are fast approaching. While many people love gathering with family and friends at this time of the year, entertaining can take the jolly out of the holiday. This year, take the stress out of hosting with these five simple holiday hacks. Buy in Bulk. One month before your holiday gathering, buy nuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almonds, pistachios, walnuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in bulk. Pour the nuts into screw-top mason jars, label with brightly colored tape and store in your pantry. When guests stop by, bring out a few jars, unscrew and serve with seasonal cider. Candy Cane Lane. Candy cane flakes work wonders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from holiday drinks to topping off cakes and ice cream. Crush candy canes in a blender or smash between paper towels and store in an airtight container. Simply sprinkle for seasonal ease and festive yum. Double Duty. Buy flavorful refrigerated salad dressings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think sriracha or ranch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and use to top salads or potatoes, or as a quick, delicious dip. One jar offers many solutions. Bee Smart. Be prepared for unexpected gift-giving moments and keep several simple and affordable gifts on hand. Pour local honey into mini mason jars, wrap the neck with holiday twine and include a message that works for all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a BEE-autiful Holiday.â&#x20AC;? Tis the Seasons. For entertainment ease, keep versatile products on hand, like Simply Artisan Reserve Simple Seasons, a soft, finely crumbled cheese in a shakable jar. Sprinkle the cheese on flatbreads, sliders, desserts and more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and enjoy the flavor in every bite. With just 15 minutes of prep, you can make a seasonal dessert that looks like you spent all day in the kitchen. For more recipes, visit litehousefoods.com.

The Clerk gave an update on the scheduled hearing held Sept. 6 regarding the derelict building at 509 Main Street. Because no Respondent appeared at the hearing, the proceedings were not recorded. Attorney Miller prepared an Order for an injunction requiring the owner, Naturlich Health and Beauty Corp., to immediately correct the dangerous condition the building is in. The Order appoints the City of Dumont as receiver which means the City can take steps to begin preparation for the building’s removal. When all plans are made, the City will need to ¿le a Motion for Court Approval for the work. At this time, Rick Stensland visited with the Council regarding the common walls. Baldwin moved to survey the land to help determine ownership. Menken seconded. Roll call: Ayes-Baldwin, Menken Reysack, Shear, Showalter, Nays-none. Motion carried.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resourcesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weekly fishing report is compiled with information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and state park staff. For current information, contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at (641) 357-3517. Clear Lake: Anglers without a boat can still find some good wading opportunities in early October for yellow bass and walleyes. Try the MacIntosh swim beach, off the North Shore on the edge of the rushes and off Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach. Use a jig and piece of cut bait or minnows, or try a bobber and small light hook with bait under a bobber. Yellow bass, excellent. Farmers beach (just outside the weed edge), MacIntosh swim beach, and the Ventura jetties have been producing well. Hy-Vee and other rock reefs have also continued to produce. Try also the channel between the little lake and big lake. Action has picked up this week with anglers reporting fish on every cast, at times. Walleye, good. Walleye action is starting to pick up in certain areas. Use jigs and a minnow or cut bait in many of the same areas that yellow bass are biting. Black crappie, fair. Some crappies are being caught near the HyVee reef or in tight to docks in early morning. Muskellunge, good. Musky fishing has been decent; October is usually a good month for musky fishing. Yellow perch, good. Yellow perch are hitting by the grade on 1/16 ounce black leadheads with a piece of cut bait. Lake Smith: Largemouth bass, good. Largemouth are starting to go on the feed with cooler water.

Reader of the Week at the Hampton Public Library is Arnold Yahir, son of Arnold Guevars and Deli Barrera. Arnold is 8-years-old and in the third grade. Kim Manning, library director, recently visited his classroom at Southside. She talked to the class about the story behind the book of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomas and the Library Lady,â&#x20AC;? by Pat Mora. Arnold loves to read, especially non-fiction. Library Fun Fact: A book has escaped from the library! The Library has put up a display of a picture book titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Epossumondas,â&#x20AC;? by Coleen Salley, for a project called StoryWalk. It was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library. The book is bilingual and will have families and their children laughing. The directions are simple: The Story-Walk begins and ends at the library. The librarians will hand out a map and simple instructions to each family that wants to join in this fun project. The first page of the book is at the Chamber office, and then continues north. The last page of the book is at the NAPA store. When the family has read all of the pages they can revisit the library at their convenience during the month of October and get a Windsor buck for each child that participated in the walk. The reason behind this project is to bring families together for reading and exercise. The StoryWalk will be available the whole month of October, including Halloween, and will be taken down the first week in November giving every family plenty of opportunities to accomplish the walk. Read and have fun.
