Iowa School Report Cards

FC Planning and Zoning recommend approval of urban renewal plan amendment

The innovative measure of school success is still in early years but offers schools a fair assessment of individual schools

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the county supervisors approve of the amendment to the 2015 Co-Op Urban Renewal Area/ Urban Renewal Plan with NEW CoOp, citing permissions in the land use plan. The Franklin County Comprehensive Land Use Plan states: “… Emphasis has been on working with existing value-added groups, development of value chains and working to develop quality systems to ensure food safety and accountability…” Administrator Russell Wood explained that NEW Co-Op would be taking the raw product of corn and soy, from Iowa, and modifying that product in to something new, thus adding value to the initial product. The feed mill would then count as value added agriculture, Wood said.

BY ETHAN STOETZER Measuring academic success is a tricky task for educators; with so many factors that contribute to a child’s education — learning environment, demographics, intellectual capabilities, etc. — it’s a challenge to figure out how well a school or student performs. The Iowa Department of Education rolled out a new program over the last year that hopes to assess schools’ performances, yearly, which uses a wealth of data to pinpoint a school’s strengths and deficiencies. The assessment, the Iowa School Report Card, scores each school within a district individually, against a level of state benchmarks. Previously, the IDE classified schools on a list to determine a district’s success. Jen Koenen, shared curriculum director for Hampton-Dumont and CAL school districts, explained that the report card system provides an abundance of data that can be used to track demographics, gender, programs and more. The current data available is from the fall 2014 school year, through spring 2015, Koenen said. Next year’s results are anticipated to be aggregated this December. “[The report cards] is not the end all, be all,” Koenen said. “We appreciate the fact of using multiple measures for one ranking, but we also know that there are hundreds of other measurement that could have been used.” Koenen explained that the main score used on the report cards are the Iowa Assessments for math, reading, science and social studies (not measured on state standardization). These tests are a one-time test given on a specific day, towards the end of the year. Both districts currently apply Maximizing Academic Potential testing (quick test given several times a year) which measure aca-

Koenen also said that learning environment is also not mentioned in the report card, which she said plays a huge factor in the ability for a student to maximize learning. “We encourage people to go to this report card, and if they have any questions or concerns to contact the building or district administrator,” Koenen said. “We might be able to show other data about climate and safety.” Koenen also mentioned that the Iowa Assessments are a part of the No Child Left Behind Act, which has been replaced with the Every Student Succeeds Act. While Iowa has chose to align itself with Common Core standards by establishing Iowa core standards, the test used to measure proficiency doesn’t technically match up with national standards. Iowa is currently an affiliate member of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, an 18-state organization that is creating an assessment that aligns with common core standards. By the 2017-18 school year, Iowa students will be taking a completely new assessment in an online format, that will be aligned with the common core. Over the next weeks, The Chronicle will be publishing snapshots of the report cards for both Hampton-Dumont and CAL districts, focusing on the high schools and middle schools (Hampton-Dumont’s elementary school only includes third grade test results and don’t fully measure the entire school’s students’ abilities).

Rank: High Performing Hampton-Dumont High School is in the 13 percentile when it comes to school performance. The report card system is graded on a bell curve, with most schools scoring in the acceptable and commendable range (the middle of the pack). H-D High is on the upper end of the curve. The total grade is based off weighted measures, with proficiency weighted the highest at 22.2 percent, with college and career ready growth, annual expected growth, college and career readiness and graduation rate, weighted at 11.1 percent. Staff retention and attendance are weighted at 5.6 percent. The data is based on students in grades 10 and 11. The No Child Left Behind Act didn’t include ninth grade in its calculations. Grade 12 isn’t included in the tests because the Iowa Assessments don’t test that year. Each test is conducted for the next year (ninth graders test for tenth grade, tenth graders test for eleventh grade, etc.). OVER-ALL RANK: HIGH-PERFORMING 70.8 Points 0

Latham HiTe ch Se e d s president and vice president, John and Shannon Latham, Ernst and chief financial officer Chris Latham gave Ernst a tour of the facilities and discussed how small businesses can continue being successful.

FCEH offers free water tests and provides funds for well maintenance BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin County Environmental Health Department is currently offering funds through the county to support well plugging and rehabilitation. Director Dan Tilkes said that the program is only for those living in rural parts of the county, as individual cities test their water quality. The program is run through the state, which makes grant money available to the county for such upkeep. The funds cover up to $500 in well-plugging, and up to $1,000 towards well rehab.

BY TRAVIS FISCHER Hampton’s Church of Christ has made a move. Since September the church has moved their Sunday service from their building on 1st Street to the Youth for Christ building. The decision to move services to the Youth for Christ building was brought on by a couple factors, starting with the need for a space with better handicap access. Over the years accommodating the aging congregation has become an increasingly difficult task. See CHURCH OF CHRIST: Page 2

For the coming year, the Hampton Chronicle will be teaming up with the shared superintendent for Hampton-Dumont and CAL, Todd Lettow, and former CAL Superintendent, the district’s K-12 Principal and District Administrator, Steve Lane, in sit-down question and answer sessions regarding the discussion of whole grade sharing between the two school districts.

STATE OF THE DISTRICTS Superintendent Todd Lettow and CAL District Administrator Stephen Lane discuss futures of districts BY ETHAN STOETZER ince the news of dwindling finances in the CAL Boards of Education about the roles that both schools district budget earlier this year, and the maxed will play in each others’ circumstances in the coming out, shared contracts that Hampton-Dumont years. and CAL currently hold, the future of CAL’s educaShared Superintendent for H-D and CAL Todd tional programs have been a topic of much discussion. Lettow and CAL District Administrator Steve Lane With budget preparations quickly approaching, it has sat down to discuss the scenario of full grade sharing as been a discussion among both the H-D and the CAL an option, ahead of formal board decision.

PAID FOR BY SUSAN WULF FLINT FOR SUPERVISOR

IT’S TIME FOR A NEW PERSPECTIVE!

JOHN HEILSKOV Certified Public Accountant FOR SUPERVISOR DISTRICT #3 The mission of the board of supervisors is to plan, finance and deliver services to the citizens of Franklin County. My financial background makes me well suited to carry out that mission. I will listen intently to the residents of Franklin County and provide reasoned, data driven solutions to their situations.

Q1. ON WHOLE GRADE SHARING, IS IT A GUARANTEED PLAN? LETTOW: The [CAL BOE] has prepared for a December deadline for its decision about what they’re doing for the next couple of years, so they can inform the community and get input about their intentions. I commend them for wanting to do this earlier so district administrators can orchestrate what [whole grade sharing] would look like. The board wants valid public input for its board meeting. The timeline is the third week in October, to have a financial workshop, to discuss what our monetary status is. One of [the plans] is truly the intention and option of making a formal decision in October 2017 to whole grade share for fall of 2018. Things need to be done officially and that needs to be made in October, then the 90day wait period for the Department of Education, and

becomes official February 2018, for whole grade sharing by fall 2018. LANE: I know probably both boards have asked Todd to crunch numbers and see. Larry Siegel of Iowa School Finance, his figures gave us a couple options. If we waited three years instead of two, our unspent balance will be dwindled. The boards want Todd to crunch numbers to run it out that far [the third year]. Once the communities know it’s going to happen, I’m not so sure waiting another year is beneficial. Waiting the third year would dwindle our finances down. Once the community knew this was probably more than likely going to be a reality, I don’t get the feeling that the extra year has a lot of importance to it. It’s a fact that something is going to have to be done soon.

Q2. WOULD THIS MEAN THE END OF THE CAL DISTRICT? LETTOW: [The CAL board] wanted to have the financial stability to keep [CAL] going. That’s the important question on everybody’s mind. We did the numbers to say ‘yes, there will be available facilities, but not the capacity to take all of CAL’s kids to put them in [H-D]. It’s certainly something that people are thinking about.

and CAL] are sharing middle school sports. [CAL] includes sixth grade in middle school sports. Does that mean sixth grade goes to H-D with the seventh and eighth grade sports? Students ask me, am I going to be able to graduate from CAL, but we’ll just have to wait and see what the numbers tell us. We’ve pretty much told our community at a public meeting last spring, that more than likely we will be moving in two more years.

Q3. WHAT WOULD BE DONE WITH THE EXTRA SPACE AVAILABLE AT CAL WITH GRADE SHARING?

LETTOW: Well, the state is revamping their career in technical education to a regional-type concept. They’re realizing every school in the state of Iowa would like to have an Ag classroom or instructor, or having an equipment facility. Why not do a more regional idea? I think this would be the perfect opportunity to partner with community colleges while that’s being developed. We would have capacity at CAL to look at that as a possibility. We have a lot of automotive classrooms in smaller schools, but all they can work on are 20-year-old cars with no technology. If we could get a bunch of schools together, we could train them to work on the cars of today.

LANE: There’s a lot of expense involved with these programs. There’s robotics labs and some schools that have more money than others, but the regional idea evens the playing field; if a regional hub could offer those things with dollar inputs. Also, maybe not having enough students to make it feasible — instead of having four kids, we could have 16 kids. We’ve thought for so many years, everything had to fit in everyone’s schedules, now I think we have to start thinking differently to make scheduling these classes easier.

Q4. HOW WOULD SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES BE IMPACTED? LETTOW: Football is currently at Clarion Goldfield and Dows. Now, their sports districts’ set for two years. This is the first year for that. Every other year, the district reorganizes. That would be the perfect time to have change happen. Middle school sports are currently here. Soccer is pretty unique. It’s varsity including H-D and Belmond-Klemme — three schools together doing soccer and that works out well.

Band and choir start earlier in CAL. In Iowa, those things happen during the school day, but it’s not the case in every state. LANE: We have three proposed middle school dances that Tony Spradlin has put together with the middle school student council, where they invite [CAL] kids over, one in November, February and May. That’s a good way to get kids together.

Croell Redi-Mix will begin making concrete this week. ZACH CLEMENS/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Croell concrete builds in Sheffield Concrete plant nearing completion BY ZACH CLEMENS Starting this week, a new concrete plant will make Sheffield home. Croell Redi-Mix is located at 1459 255th Street in Sheffield, just west of Sukup, and has been building a plant since the beginning of September, according to Bill Croell, one of the owners of the company. “We are going to produce Redi-Mix concrete for the local market,” Croell said. “We think [Sheffield] is a good community to invest in.” It will start producing concrete next week according to a site worker, but it won’t be in operation for very long, as it is a summer plant, only running from mid-March to mid-November. Summer plants are different, as there is no insulation or a way to keep hot water running through the winter. Year-round plants are usually reserved for large markets, Croell said. Croell concrete has been a family-owned business since 1968, with over 130 locations in six states, according to their website. They provide their brand Redi-Mix concrete to various businesses and landowners, while striving to utilize raw materials for the best concrete available. By next spring, there will be more structures built and a full staff will be hired, many from the local area.

CHURCH OF CHRIST “We’ve got several members of the church that have issues,” said Pastor Gary Davis. “It’s hard to get them in and out of the building.” The new location not only makes it easier for less mobile members to attend service, but also allows them to interact with the rest of the congregation in a more accessible common area. Along with handicap access challenges, Davis says that heating costs for the building are “astronomical,” making it more economically sensible to rent out a different location than heat the building in the winter. Moving services is a historic event for the church, which has congregated on the property since 1891, before the building was even constructed. Over the years the church has been built and rebuilt for various reasons, but the cost of continuing to modernize the building seems to have finally become too much. With it being doubtful that services will return to the Church of Christ building, decisions have to be made about what to do with their historical property. Davis says that the church has floated some ideas, but has yet to come with any substantial plans for the building. Some ideas include converting the building into a shelter for people in the community that need a place to stay, whether they are homeless, or getting out of an abusive relationship, or otherwise need a place to live without having to leave the community. It is hoped that a perspective business or organization capable of handling the building’s upkeep costs will come forward with a plan to keep the building in use. “I think the ultimate goal is to find a way to give the building back to the community,” said Davis. We feel that the building belongs to the town and we’d like to see something good happen to it.”

Achievement gap in education is referring to the disparity in performance between groups of students. There are significant gaps between students in these gaps and students who are not. There are 51.9 percent of students identified with these groups, as compared to 48.1 percent of those who don’t. In 2015, 84.6 percent of students enrolled in these programs were proficient, while 97.3 percent of students not enrolled in those programs were proficient.

Ernst said some government regulation could harm small businesses and there is a need for deregulation to help a small business grow. John Latham agreed, saying that some regulations from agencies like the USDA and EPA make it hard for a small business to operate. Both John and Chris have been pleased with the Iowa senator’s term so far though.

“She has done a great job,” John Latham said. “She’s sympathetic to small businesses and I think represents us well.” Chris Latham added that Sen. Ernst is a great listener and very receptive to sharing ideas and solutions. Ernst continued her 99 county trek, and was in Cerro Gordo County on Oct. 7.

FCEH Tilkes also said that the department is also offering free well testing to those in rural areas. He explained that with the high water table from the September rains, now would be the opportune time to test the well water. Grant money will be available through July 1, 2017, or until the funds run out. Tilkes said that the county has “quite a bit,” of funds from the state for this purpose. Tilkes said that the county hasn’t historically had any problem in well water quality.

Moderators are the enemy of debates NEWSPLAINING

Ethan Stoetzer If it’s one thing that anyone can agree upon as we weather the last month of the 2016 election cycle, it’s that debate moderators have been terrible at keeping these nationally televised programs in check. Or have they? If you’ve merely had the debates on in the background of your dwelling, or have simply kept up with the sound bites on social media, it has been plain to see that candidates from both the Democrat and Republican parties have had their way with moderators, via dodging questions, pandering to the Russians or that defeating ISIS and sexual assault are in the same vein, policy wise. In three straight debates, talking time has been pretty much equal, but what has actually been said by these candidates? More importantly, what questions have been asked of these candidates? Amidst scandal after scandal, these candidates have been coming out, swinging to the fences, seeing who can coax the other to say something they can’t take back, and the moderators have been seemingly allowing it. Matt Lauer botched the simple job of any journalist, letting Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump get away with saying he never supported the Iraq war, when it is widely well known that he did on the Howard Stern show. Lester Holt attempted to hold Trump accountable for his support of the war, but Trump’s persistence dragged the conversation to the formation of ISIS and why its formation is the fault of Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Holt never asked Clinton if the Obama Administration perceived that ISIS would form in the vacuum that the US left. Instead, the questions remained vague and his control of the candidates yielded meme after meme of the candidates’ policy-vacant banter. Elaine Quijano was practically missing from the Vice Presidential debate, as both Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mike Pence dogged it out, talking over her. Quijano never corrected Pence that Trump did name-call women, did praise Vladimir Putin and insulted an American General, and prisoner of war (John McCain). She never asked Kaine to stop interrupting, and never asked either of them what policies their party wants to implement. Regardless of how unimportant the VP debates are in the election cycle — they rarely decide elections — that debate was a fist fight by men in suits on national television. I watched these debates and prayed that one of the moderators would say something, anything to keep the debates in check. I was waiting for both candidates’ noses to be held to the grind stone, forced to defend their policies. My only hope was put in CNN’s Anderson Cooper. I’d seen him do that to Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the primary debate. Cooper is a solid journalist and isn’t afraid to be an antagonist. I thought this was going to be the time. At the second presidential debate, hyped up by the firestorm of Trump’s sexual assault comments and Clinton’s leaked speeches to Wall Street banks, both Cooper and CBS’ Martha Raddatz did their best,

I guess, with what they had to work with, forcing candidates to defend their scandals, and allowing both of them to pander to ISIS and Russia, and subsequently allowing Trump to interrupt Clinton 18 times as to Clinton’s once, and allowing his authoritarian threat to jail Clinton to go unanswered (for perspective, former Soviet Union leader Joesph Stalin imprisoned political figures for disagreeing with him and usurping state agencies to “erase” people and jail them for life. Putin practices the same methods). Trump should have had to explain those comments. Clinton should have had to defend her private life comments, but wasn’t asked to. What I had thought would be the savior of the debates wound up being one of the biggest enablers. Cooper failed me. But maybe this is my fault in thinking that the debates are something that they aren’t. In the cable news era of our democracy, and the advent of the 24-hour news cycle, I expected things to stay the same. In the 1960s, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon sat on wooden chairs, with a moderator standing between them at a small podium. There was no audience, just two politicians talking politics. A boring event. The concept of debates is centered around a dialogue of facts used to form cohesive arguments based on true principles. Do you see that in any of these debates? All I’ve heard are slanders and pandering. There are no discussions on policy from either candidate. No one has had to explain what health care plan they want to implement. No one has had to explain how the US will follow the Paris treaty talks on curtailing pollution. No one has had to explain anything. High school debate teams provide me with more facts and cohesive arguments than these candidates, whose job it is to form coherent arguments. The Commission for Presidential Debates is a non-profit, non-partisan entity that schedules debates and establishes their format. They make no money from advertisements or sponsors, and get no help from the federal government. I watched the organizers of this organization pat themselves on the back at the second presidential debate, for doing a good job of handling the debates, and after that debate, I thought they had nerve. The only thing these debates do are create sound bite after sound bite, that replay on the news programs — where the moderators come from — and set up a coliseum-like environment where these gladiator-like politicians create zings and one liners to drag their opponents through the mud. The debates are currently designed for ratings and Facebook shares, rather than debating fine policy adjustments, of which, none have been talked about. I’m not saying that candidates shouldn’t be held accountable for their conduct; Trump and Clinton should be held accountable by the cable news, but debates are supposed to be about policy decisions that will help the country. Yes, both campaigns have websites that are loaded with political jargon that the average person does not understand. Debate moderators should be the explainers of these policies, asking the candidates to explain why it will work and what problems it might have. Until that happens, these debates are reality shows; and Trump was right. I’d much rather be watching football.

Iowa is good for business, boosting income and employment Your Iowa Senate is working to expand Iowa’s middle class and build a stable economy for all. We’re spurring long-range growth and prosperity across Iowa by: • Ensuring Iowans have opportunities for job training • Offering incentives to Iowa businesses • Boosting quality of life in our communities These efforts are producing good results. Iowa is again one of the top 10 states for business, according to CNBC. The latest analysis spotlights Iowa’s low cost of doing business, low cost of living and great quality of life. We also have the best possible credit rating and have shown steady growth. A few of the initiatives we’ve championed in recent years that have helped Iowa achieve this success include: • Improving Iowa’s roads and bridges to move goods and provide services more efficiently. • Phasing in the largest property tax cut in the state history by providing tax relief to owners of commercial and industrial property. • Providing a tax cut to thousands of Iowa small businesses and farmers by aligning Iowa’s tax code with many federal tax changes. • Offering incentives to businesses that locate and expand in Iowa, particularly when they commit to making a strong contribution to the local economy and creating good jobs for residents.

THE RAGAN REPORT

Amanda Ragan • Investing in innovative programs at our state universities that spur economic growth when they work with communities and businesses to improve technology, marketing and entrepreneurship. • Establishing tax credits for industries that turn byproducts from biomass feedstock into higher-value chemicals. • Exempting from sales tax supplies and replacement parts used in manufacturing, research and development, data processing and recycling. These are known as “consumables.” The Iowa economy is steadily moving in the right direction, and I’m working to ensure that continues. Iowans deserve good jobs and fair pay that rewards their hard work. It’s also good news that we are making strides toward decreasing economic inequality. When median income outpaces economic growth, we know the gains are benefiting more than just the wealthy few at the top. The economic inequality that has grown since the 1970s may finally

be turning around. An analysis of census and economic data from Pew Trusts shows a big gain nationwide in median household income last year, which could mean earnings are starting to catch up to overall economic growth. When it comes to employment, things also look good. Iowa employment is up two percent—that’s 31,200 jobs—over this time last year, and our unemployment rate remains low compared to most other states and to the nation as a whole. According to the most recent employment update from Iowa Workforce Development: The number of working Iowans increased by 1,700 between July and August. The number of working Iowans is 3,600 higher than a year ago. For the third consecutive month, Iowa businesses expanded their payrolls, raising the total number of working Iowans.

The Dragoons in Franklin County BY MICKEY FERRIS Lewis and Clark opened the way to the west, but the exploration of northern Iowa was actually started by the United States Dragoons. The Dragoons started in the states in 1777, when George Washington raised four regiments of light Dragoons. They participated in the American Revolutionary War. The Dragoons had their first expedition in 1820. Their second expedition was in 1824-25, but their best known was in 1835. An ad in the New York paper read as follows “DRAGOONS AND MOUNTED RIFLEMEN, 500 wanted for mounted service, now serving in California, Oregon, Texas and New Mexico. For particulars of pay, clothing, etc. inquire at 60 Hudson Street, 22 Greenwich or 11 Olive Street. Also, 16 musicians wanted for First Dragoons.” The Dragoons were promised they would be scouring the far prairies on fine horses amid buffalo and strange Indians. The horses were true, but otherwise reality was a different story.” Alcohol. cholera and malaria killed most Dragoons, not the Indians. The Dragoons started from New York by land, down the Ohio River and up the Mississippi, mostly by paddle and broad-horn boats. After many months of travel, they arrived at St. Louis. Here they were given horses – which had just arrived – to ride and to be used on their expedition to Iowa and the Wisconsin area. The Black Hawk purchase of 1832 put this area under U.S. Control. Dragoons enlisted for six months at a time. Because of the hard work and low pay, there were many deserters. Their job was to build roads from one post to another, explore new territory and escort caravans post to post. New recruits had very little training – being picked up along the way – and had to learn on the job. In 1833, Congress passed laws that a regiment of Dragoons was fixed at 34 officers and 1,715 men.

Lea’s map shows his regiment going to the fork of the East and West Des Moines River, then east and north. His trail appears to cross the Iowa River into Franklin County, which had not yet been surveyed. The Dragoons crossed this land 18 years before Iowa became a state in 1846. This number could vary wildly. Recruits were to be 20-35 years of age and over 5’5” (this was only true if recruits were plentiful, as records show one man was 55-years-old, 5’ tall and only 100 pounds), native born (that too went by the wayside when Irish and other nationalities were plentiful) and sober at the time of enlistment. This requirement was mainly to keep recruits from saying they had been taken advantage of while drunk. Each battalion also included a farrier, an armorer and a drummer. The main attraction of the Dragoons, outside of the horse and adventure, was the uniform. They wore white pants and high leather boots, which came just below the knees. Their stovepipe hat had a small black bill with a metal insignia of a yellow federal eagle on a white metal sunburst and a lovely red plume. Their waistcoats had tails with gold bands called lace on the collar. Their belts were held by white leather bands that crossed on the chest, holding a straight saber, pistol and a round canteen with “U.S.” marked in white. The uniform alone was enough to make a recruit swoon, and to top it

off they received a large horse to ride Lieutenant Albert M. Lea was commander of a regiment that went up the Mississippi River Valley. He was to explore the new Wisconsin territory, which was part of the Louisiana purchase of 1803. This included the area where Iowa is today. Lieutenant Lea wrote, “The general appearance of the country is one of great beauty. It surpasses any portion of the United States with which I am acquainted.” The new territory was made up of prairie, rivers and groves. Lea kept a diary of his findings listing the kinds of trees, vegetation, groves, rivers, streams, fish, wild animals, the lay of the land, minerals, etc. The only towns in Iowa at this time were located along the Mississippi River. Lea’s map shows his regiment going to the fork of the East and West Des Moines River, then east and north. His trail appears to cross the Iowa River into Franklin County, which had not yet been surveyed. The Dragoons crossed this land 18 years before Iowa became a state in 1846. The Dragoons had to eat “off the land,” with their meals consisting mainly of deer, turkeys, buffalo, grouse, ducks and prairie chickens. They found, and enjoyed, eating wild strawberries – not only because they were delicious – but also because fruit was hard to come by out in the prairie. There were so many wild strawberries in Iowa that the juice from the ripe berries reddened the hoofs of the horses. Picking the strawberries was not without peril, however, rattlesnakes were found among the berries, in fact rattlesnakes were found all over. Lt. Lea complained in his diary that one night four rattlesnakes were killed in his tent alone. Lea is credited with naming our state of Iowa, taking the name from the Iowa River. Oddly enough, although he is so prominent in Iowa history, the State of Minnesota honored him by naming a city after Lt.Albert Lea.

This year’s Presidential election race has introduced a lot of interesting characters to the political scene, but up until last week there have been a couple of conspicuous absences. Senator Tim Kaine and Governor Mike Pence have spent the bulk of this campaign standing in the shadows of their running mates, all but absent from the campaign trail. It’s an odd shift from previous years. Joe Biden continuously made his presence known as Barack Obama’s right hand in 2008 and 2012. Paul Ryan was a high profile GOP congressman before he campaigned with Mitt Romney and as Speaker of the House is now closer to the presidency than Romney ever got. And Sarah Palin, one could argue, all but overshadowed John McCain after he pulled her from obscurity. Yet last week’s debate was the first time for many to be exposed to the two men looking to be the vice-president this time around. As far as introductions go, Kaine could have done better and Pence could have done worse. If you were keeping score at home, Kaine was factually correct more often than not, and in general offered greater detail on the policies of his running mate. But these traits were overshadowed by his frequent interruptions and aggressive tendency to redirect any particular topic at hand towards Donald Trump’s many flaws. From a pure optics standpoint, it’s clear that Pence came out looking the better of the two. Pence interrupted less frequently and spoke with far more composure and grace than his opponent. His background as a radio host served him well as he offered a calm and polished alternative to Kaine’s manic performance. Particularly since Pence was operating under a handicap. While Kaine had Clinton’s extensive expertise to draw from, Pence had the near impossible task of extrapolating a coherent policy out of Trump’s inflammatory and often contradictory statements. Instead of offering a clear and concise answer, Pence relied on his skills as an orator to filibuster his way out of tough questions with meaningless platitudes. Well, that and the utter denial of objective reality. Both men cherry picked facts to their liking, as is expected of politicians, but Pence’s gift for poise made even the most outlandish statements seem reasonable and he pushed that gift as far as it would take him. But there was one assertion from Pence that no amount of smooth talking could make believable. That was the notion that it was Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, running the “insult driven campaign” in this race. Pence said it with such authority that I’m not sure he’s met his own running mate. This is, after all, a man who made giving his opponents derogatory nicknames a cornerstone of his campaign. Personal attacks aren’t simply a reality of the Trump campaign. They’re an ever present component. In fact, if Pence had access to his phone during the debate, he would have seen Trump tweeting out insults live. As for attack ads, it is true that the Clinton campaign has put out some devastating material. I’m not entirely sure you can call them “attacks” or “insults” though. Yes, there are insults present in the ads, but that’s because the Clinton campaign has taken the strategy of compiling the terrible things Trump says on a regular basis and presents them verbatim. If judging purely on the basis of being likable and convincing voters to be okay with having you a heartbeat away from the presidency, there’s no doubt Kaine lost. However, that didn’t appear to be his primary goal. Instead, Kaine’s objective seemed to be to put Pence on the defensive as often as possible. Within twelve hours, the Clinton campaign released another “attack ad” composed of Pence denying that Donald Trump has said terrible things, immediately followed by the video proof. I can’t say I approve of such a strategy. I would have liked to see what these two had to say about themselves, rather than each other’s running mates. That said, it will probably be effective. By the time this column sees print, we’ll already be back to focusing on the main candidates. Few will remember Kaine’s hyperactive debate performance, but the clip of Pence denying that Donald Trump didn’t know Russia had invaded the Ukraine will go on forever. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and still wishes Hillary would have picked Bernie Sanders as VP.

LOOKING BACK

by Joyce Schomburg

Fifty Years Ago October 12, 1966 A diving attempt by Hampton sophomore end Mike Crandall fails to make connection with a second quarter pass in last Tuesday evening’s 27-14 loss by the Bulldog junior varsity to Clear Lake, at Hampton. However, a few minutes after this picture was taken Crandall made an outstanding over-the-shoulder catch of another Bobby Carr thrown pass for an 18yard touchdown. Mr. and Mrs. John Hahn, of Allison, Mrs. Marie Scantlebury, of Hampton, and Mrs. E.O. Wickham were last weeks guests in the W.A. Dennis home. Sgt. Marvin E. Davis, son of Dwight E. Davis, of Dumont, was recently promoted to sergeant with the U.S. Army. He is stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He is the brother of Mrs. Trent H. Vogel and Mrs. Howard Stock, of Hampton and Mrs. DeWayne Shear, of Dumont. Forty Years Ago October 14, 1976 As part of Fire Prevention Week

last week, students in the three elementary buildings in Hampton got a first-hand look at some of the equipment available in Hampton to fight fires and how that equipment works. Hampton volunteer fireman Don Springer took the truck to each of the three elementary buildings Thursday morning and explained all the functions of the truck, various fire-fighting procedures, and things the students should know about the danger of fires. John Allen and his brother Jim, of Dumont, weren’t as concerned about catching a lot of fish as they were about enjoying the beautiful day at Beeds Lake Sunday, as temperatures climbed into the 70’s and the sun made it more of an “Indian Summer” day than an October one. The Allens did manage to snare a few bullheads, and they wondered why they couldn’t catch the nice-sized catfish that were being pulled in a ways down. Kathy Stahl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James V. Stahl of Hampton, was one of 116 students named to the Dean’s List for scholastic achievement during the summer quarter at the American Institute of Business in the legal secretarial course and maintained an A average to earn a 4.00 point grade average. Thirty Years Ago October 16, 1986 Bud Kampman of Dumont will be among five contestants vying for a jackpot of $400,000 in the Iowa Lottery’s jackpot show tonight

Pink Ribbon Night raises over $800 for area breast cancer patients Franklin General Hospital hosted Pink Ribbon Night at the Hampton-Dumont vs. Humboldt volleyball game Thursday, Sept. 29.

Franklin General Hospital departments donated a variety of baskets to be auctioned. This year, donated baskets included a fall décor basket, outdoor work basket, cleaning basket and a kids’ arts and crafts basket, among others. The varsity volleyball players also donated treats and baked items to be auctioned. Thanks to the generosity of community members and volleyball

(Thursday). The show is broadcast at 6:26 p.m. on several area television stations. Kampman’s was one of four “Lucky Star” finalists’ names which were drawn on the show last week from among second chance non-winning entries from the lottery’s 7-11-21 and Autumn Gold instant games. Angela Schermer of Latimer exhibited the reserve champion Angus heifer in the 1986 National Cattle Congress junior show held recently in Waterloo. Mrs. Jody Schwab and daughter, Stacy, accompanied her sister, Rhonda Richtsmeier, all of Colorado Springs, Colo., to Hampton on Saturday to spend a week with the ladies’ parents, Carl and Doris Richtsmeier and their sister and family, Debbie and Randy Sietsema, sons Scott and new infant son Todd at Iowa Falls, with whom they came to get acquainted. Twenty Years Ago October 10, 1996 A $25,000 pledge from the A.M. Saylor and Helen L. Saylor Foundation to the second phase of the “Invest in a Healthy Future” capital campaign has been finalized. The announcement was made Wednesday after the campaign cabinet was informed at its weekly meeting. Bill and Linda Latham of Alexander attended a reunion on Sunday of the Rotary Exchange Study Team that made a trip to Hakaido, Japan twenty-five years ago. It was hosted by the team leader,

Buyers will have a great selection of upcycled, painted, rusty, wood and metal creations along with collectibles and great antique, vintage and unique gifts to choose from. You will find wonderful items for your garden, yard, home, office or gifts. Fort Dodge Vintage Market is located at the East Campus of Iowa Central Community College, at 2031 Quail Ave, on the east side of Fort Dodge.

FC Farmers Market ends 2016 season On Friday, Oct. 14, Megan Conlon, Hospital Dietitian, will be at Farmers Market with another healthy snack recipe and samples for customers to try. Recipe booklets will also be available. Stop by to see how the hospital has helped encourage healthy eating with local food. The last market on Friday, Oct. 21 is stock up night for all customers. Most baked goods vendors are willing to bake special orders during the winter, and vendors selling farm fresh eggs, meat, honey and jams and jellies would be happy to have you order over the winter. Be sure to get phone numbers, e-mails and addresses from any of these vendors. They are also very willing to do special Christmas and Thanksgiving orders. Squash, sweet potatoes, potatoes, apples and pumpkins will store well for several months after purchase. With all the encouragement to buy your food locally, this is the chance to support local people who raise food for sale. Tuesday night markets are still operating. WIC and Senior Checks are good until the end of October. The Iowa Department of Agriculture has left the decision of when to end the season up to the individual markets. Since the market is usually running out of produce by mid-October, the group has opted to close on the third Friday in October. The checks are good until the end of the month, but families who have not used them earlier will need to travel further to use them up. Call Barb Ristau, market manager at Franklin County Extension, at (641) 456-4811 with any questions.

FCAC holds tryouts, sets cast for winter production Reader of the Week at the Hampton Public Library is Joseph Powers, age 8 and in the second grade. Joseph is the son of Colt and Kara Powers. His favorite book is “Click, Clack, Moo - Cows That Type,” by Doreen Cronin. Library Fun Fact: One of the most popular non-fiction books to be checked out are cookbooks. Even with Pinterest and all of the other cooking websites, the patrons of the Hampton Public Library still want to sit with a cookbook and leaf through the pages looking for new recipes that have scintillating photos. The most recent cookbook purchased and available for check out is the “Pioneer Woman Cooks a Year of Holidays,” by Ree Drummond.

Around 40 people tried out for the Franklin County Arts Council’s winter production, most of which were children. The play, “The One and Only Santa Claus,” has a large cast of approximately 30 actors/actresses. Those children who did not receive a speaking part will be utilized by being in the chorus. The group will use all the children who auditioned in some way, giving them all exposure to the theatre and giving them time on stage. The cast of the play includes: Ava Swaney as Betty; Briggs Gruelke as Clifford; Wendy Buseman as Mommy; Raylie Tedder as Yul Tide; Jim Davies as Herb; Sydney Buseman as Chrystal Flakes; Courtney Ringleb as Mary Christmas; Dave Hisler as Mall Santa; Grace Reynolds as Darla; Brandon Hisler as Lloyd; Natalie Birdsell as Meredith; Emma Dietz as Joy; Colt Powers as Vern; Dave Perez as E.B.; Moli Gerken as Salesman; Jim Davies as Man; Daniel Mayer as Sarge; Zoee McNamara as Millie; Remington Powers as Billy; Kasey Nolte as Tilly; Jaliyah Kapp as Dilly; Hunter Dietz as Clyde; Isabelle Miller as Stage Manager; Jenny Valenzuela as Grip; Lily Mason as Sound Woman; Katie Hilton as Director; Izabell Seiler as Sandra; Jacob Foster as Professor; Elsie Stattelman as Child; Colt Powers as Dad; Alexis Vosburg as Mom; Isaac Vosburg as Junior; and Dave Perez as The Real Santa Claus. The following children will be a part of the chorus: Gracie Nolte, Gabriella Kramer, Andyn White, Joseph Powers and Tate Murray.

CAL Over 60’s met Oct. 4 in the Latimer Community Center. There was a smaller-than-usual crowd due to a local funeral. Phyllis prepared a delicious meal of ham and noodles, cole slaw, bread and cheesecake. Pastor Zewert, of Zion Reformed Congregation, gave devotions and ladies from the group served the tables.

Fishing report for north central Iowa FRANKLIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ 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 or off Farmer’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. Action has been good to excellent at Hy-Vee reef, State Reef, the sandy shoreline near the Ventian Village mouth, McIntosh swim beach, the hump on the little lake out from McIntosh swim beach and the inlet from the Ventura Marsh. Tip a small jig with a minnow or a piece of cut bait and bump it along the bottom. 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 Hy-Vee 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.

HDHS FOOTBALL LENDS A HAND Saturday night, September 24th, the football team received a text from H-D Head Football Coach Dan Aalbers. The text relayed the SOS from the Clarksville’s football coach. The town had been hit by large amounts of rain; and it was hit hard. Some places in Clarksville were completely flooded. The train tracks were washed out entirely. Some residents’ homes were sieged by water and in some circumstances water was to the ceiling of their basements. According to junior football player Max

Aalbers, one man’s gazebo was found five blocks from his home. So, the following Monday, over thirty H-D football players and their coaches loaded a bus and made their way to Clarksville to help. Standing water, a sure sign of flooding, was present the entire way on the one-hour trip. Upon arrival, the Clarksville football coach joined the team and directed them to the first house. The players split into groups, each one to tackle the work at individual houses. One of the

houses required more attention than the others since the windows of the house were broken and the water had crept so high. Players ripped out drywall, shovelled out insulation, carried furniture, ripped out carpet, and cleaned houses and yards. It was hard work, but they were glad to do it. Aalbers (Max) says, “It made us thankful. It was a very humbling experience.” Sophomore Noah Noelck echoed the sentiment, “We’re all glad we went. It was rewarding to help out.”

The football team is ready to go! Above, the team is waiting to take off for the bus ride to Clarksville to help the town after devasating rain.

Super send-off

ƒ Bulldogs sweep St. Edmond on Senior Night BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – Saluting its seniors, Hampton-Dumont coach Dave Harms started all but one – who was unable to play due to injury – and all of them responded to contribute in some way as his Bulldogs swept Fort Dodge St. Edmond on Thursday, Oct. 6. Leading the way was senior Gabbie Tielke, who tallied seven kills and three blocks as H-D defeated the Gaels 25-23, 25-17, 25-17 to improve to 8-8 overall, 2-4 in the North Central Conference. “That was really cool, being my last year,” Tielke said of the Senior Night win. “I don’t know if we won it or not last year, but this year we had so much more improvement and we just work together and that was cool for my last year.” Also coming up big on the night seniors were honored was setter Cassy Miller, who led the team in assists with 16, adding 13 digs, three kills and was 17-for-18 serving with three aces. Though it looked like the Bulldogs had a slow start against a winless team in the NCC, Harms disagreed. “We started the seniors tonight and I was very happy with the senior play,” Harms said. “To tell you the truth, I thought we started really well. We were tied 6, 7 right out of the chute there. We just had a few miscommunications. “When you are in a tight game and things start to go a little wrong, the coach starts to get a little nervous and so you start doing things you feel comfortable with and I wanted to make sure the girls were comfortable and so I think…the girls play better when they feel comfortable with those around them and know what’s going on and communicate a lot better, too.” St. Edmond got out to a 5-1 lead in the early going of the second set, but an ace by Dakota Sliter, a kill

by Miller and another kill by Tielke knotted it up at 6-all after the Gaels were called for a double-hit. The game was tied again once more at 7-apiece, but that is when the Bulldogs slowly started to pull away. “Second game, the energy was there,” Harms said. “We stalled out a few times, but the energy was there and came back and down the stretch we felt comfortable.” With a 2-0 set lead, H-D trailed 4-1 in the third and was down by as much as 11-6 before Harms called timeout. “Obviously, the third game is where we struggled at first,” Harms said. “We won the first two games and there’s always a chance for a letdown and to think, ‘we’ve got ‘em now,’ but it was 5- or 6-1 and I called a timeout to get them focused again, because we needed to get things done on our side of the net and that wasn’t happening. “They (St. Ed’s) were playing a higher level ball then and they were feeling like they were in control and so we had to take that away from them. I told them in that timeout, ‘we need to basically start hitting at them and make them uncomfortable,’ because if they are comfortable we are going to struggle with the ball coming at us. We played a lot better after that timeout.” Other senior contributions in the match were Taylor Baltes with three digs, a pair of kills and digs for Carlee Bertram and an early kill for Lindsey Milbrandt. Kiara Donaldson was out with an injury. “I apologized to a couple of seniors I didn’t get back in the game,” Harms said. “I wanted to be able to get them back in, but you don’t want to ruin momentum when you’ve got momentum going on your side. The seniors have done a great job in leadership and working hard in practice and doing the things I’ve asked them to. When all is said and done, I’m going to miss the senior class.” As the post-season looms, Harms noted that there is still a lot of volleyball left. “It’s going to be over before you know it,” Harms said, “but we’re going to have a lot of volleyball before then.” Tielke said the team’s goals as that stretch appears is to play as a team. “I’d say just to keep working together and getting on it right away,” Tielke said. “Sometimes we start slow in the beginning, but if we can work together right away, we can be good.”

The NASCAR points system could be changing again. NASCAR Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Ofﬁcer Steve O’Donnell said the possibility is under consideration. “One of the things we’re looking at is in the ﬁrst 26 races, are there some additional things we could do for the winner of the regular season,” O’Donnell said. The NASCAR Driver’s Council has been discussing the issue and possible incentives and awards for leading the regular-season standings. One proposal is a bye into the second round of the Chase.

Clarksville got on the scoreboard in the first to cut the deficit to 14-6 when Dakota Garretson connected with Tanner Gilbert for a 44-yard catch-and-run touchdown. But that was the last time the Indians were able to reach the end zone against the Cougars. AGWSR also got a defensive score on a safety after Karsjens notched his biggest touchdown run of the night, a 35-yarder that started the continuous clock. Karsjens, Saw yer Heitland

and Caleb Meinders all recovered Clarksville fumbles to contribute defensively. Riley Cramer led the Indians’ defense with six solo stops and nine assists, including three tackles for loss and two quarterback sacks. Ethan Litterer also recovered an AGWSR fumble. The task gets tougher for Clarksville as it plays host to a ranked Turkey Valley team. AGWSR will play host to Janesville in its Week 8 game.

CLARKSVILLE – AGWSR kept its playoff hopes alive with a 43-6 win at Clarksville on Friday, Oct. 7. Nathan Karsjens ran for 132 yards and three touchdowns to help the Cougars improve to 5-2 overall, 3-1 in 8-Player, District 2. By the time the first quarter was over, AGWSR held a 20-6 lead on a pair of one-yard touchdown runs by Karsjens and a Karsjens 13-yard touchdown pass to Tate Hofmeister that was set up by a big interception return by Luke Starr.

This week’s race is the ﬁfth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and the second race of the Contender Round. In 2001, NASCAR and Indy Racing League announced that they would bring events to the Kansas Speedway for its inaugural racing season. Kansas Speedway is a 1 1/2-mile track, state-of-the-art facility, which was a response to the growing interest for motorsports in the Midwest. The speedway is strategically located at the intersection of I-435 and I-70 in Kansas City, Kan., about 15 miles west of downtown Kansas City. It seats nearly 82,000 spectators in the grandstands, but will eventually expand to 150,000 upon completion of its ﬁnal phase.

After Sunday’s victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Jimmie Johnson can proclaim justiﬁably, “The boys are back in town.” Taking the lead from Matt Kenseth after a restart on Lap 317 of 334, Johnson pulled away to win by 1.474 seconds over the driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. Johnson put his No. 48 Chevrolet in Victory Lane for the third time this season, the eighth time at Charlotte – the third since the repaving of the track in March 2006 and the 78th time in his career. The real prize for the six-time champion, however, was a guaranteed berth in the Chase’s Round of 8 and the accompanying stress-free trip to Talladega two weeks from now.

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Quick start leads to West Fork rout of North Butler BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – West Fork wanted to get out to fast against North Butler in its homecoming football game. It couldn’t have asked for a better start against a team that had just lost its starting quarterback and center in a makeup game four days’ previous. “Our goal the entire week was to start fast,” West Fork coach Eric Gabe said. “I know they (North Butler) are pretty beat up. I told our kids we were there last year. I’m really proud of our seniors and I’m really proud of our entire program and community and everything just coming together and playing for one another. “I’m really excited for all of those things. We haven’t changed from the Lake Mills loss...we’ve just believed in each other and kept playing and kept coming to practice and playing hard even when we were 0-5.” The Warhawks scored on five of their seven first-half possessions on their way to a 38-0 halftime lead that ended in a 52-2 final on Friday, Oct. 7. Running back Cole Hall and quarterback Jarel Arbegast each rushed for more than 100 yards with Hall reaching the end zone three times and Arbegast twice in the Warhawk win. Each time North Butler had the ball, it seemed to lose yardage, helping give West Fork excellent field position along the way. In fact, the Bearcats were negative-8 yards rushing and finished with 24 total yards of offense with 32 passing yards. “I don’t think they’re a 50-point better team than us, plain and simple,” North Butler coach Travis Miller said. “I don’t think our guys played to our potential tonight whether we are missing a couple of guys or not. We just didn’t play as a team, and unfortunately, that lets this happen. I think our guys are much better than that. We clean stuff up and hope we play better next week.” Now that the Warhawks are 2-5 and made a strong showing against top-ranked St. Ansgar, Gabe said his team is more confident.

“I don’t think you can win a football game without having confidence and without going out there and believing in yourself and that you have a chance to win the game when you walk onto the field,” Gabe said, “and I feel like over the last few games where we kind of went out onto the field feeling like, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to win or not, let’s see what happens’ and we started slow and we got beat. “This group of seniors is not allowing us to do that. They’re really taking control and taking charge and we’re playing good football right now.” Not only was the ground game going for West Fork, it also got a big 65-yard touchdown strike from Lukas Wogen to Rylan Fleshner that extended its lead to 22-0 early in the second quarter. A North Butler fumble a few plays later led to another quick score. By the time the third quarter had expired, the Warhawks even got a rushing touchdown from a regular starting lineman, Alex Bender. The Bearcats avoided the shutout in the fourth quarter when Kyle Rooney was tackled in the end zone on a bad snap for a safety with 5

minutes to go. “It’s good that we avoided the shutout,” Miller said, “but it doesn’t make the night feel any better for me.” West Fork now has a chance to win its third straight against 0-7 Rockford. “I know Rockford has struggled a little bit,” Gabe said, “but they’re a dangerous team with that Bushbaum kid at quarterback and a receiver with 200-some yards or whatever, they can throw it around and it’s going to be a track meet. We’re excited to play another week of football together.” Meanwhile, North Butler needs to clean up a lot in facing a Grundy Center team that is 3-3 overall, 3-2 in the district. “(It) starts up front with the offensive line, we had to do a lot of re-shuffling, we have some guys who are in positions who have never played before and unfortunately, one of those is the center position,” Miller said. “That definitely makes things tough, we’ve got to clean up how we block. Our routes have to be crisper. We had some things happen at the end which were good, so we’ll build on that and work for another day.”

Bulldogs gain consolation match in long day at home tournament HAMPTON – Considering there were at least four ranked teams – two No. 1s – and two ranked opponents for host school Hampton-Dumont, the Bulldogs competed well on Saturday, Oct. 8. H-D finished the day 1-3, avenging its first match loss of the day against South Hardin. The first match against the Tigers went to three sets in which the visitors outlasted coach Dave Harms’ team, 18-16, following a slow start by H-D (10-21, 21-14 in the first two sets). Carlee Bertram led H-D in kills in that match with six. South Hardin, meanwhile, had four different players with at least four kills and a fifth with three. As the day moved along, H-D started to find a rhythm, but had much tougher opponents, including Class 2A No. 14 South Hamilton. The Hawks own a 20-5 record. The Bulldogs also took South Hamilton to three, rallying from down 18-14 after a timeout to win the opening set 21-19. During that rally, H-D got kills from Gabbie Tielke and Jennie Barkema, but got help from five South Hamilton hitting errors.

H-D had three kills each from Tielke and Cassy Miller. Class 4A No. 8 Charles City was the only two-set loss of the day for coach Harms’ team in which the Comets won 21-11, 21-10. In that match, H-D managed just a pair of kills each by Ally Hanson and Barkema. Charles City went on to the

championship match in which it lost to Class 1A top-ranked Janesville. After going 0-3 in pool play, H-D moved on to the middle school, where it took on South Hardin for a second time, looking like a much better team to take a 21-14, 21-19 victory. In the final set of that match, the Tigers actually held a 19-17 lead out of a timeout by Harms, but after both teams were called for four hits, Halie Dombrowski put down a kill, the Tigers made a hitting error and an ace by Miller ended it.

PIGSKIN PONDERINGS

Vikings, Cowboy rookies shine this week The Minnesota Vikings just might be the best team in football after week 5 of the NFL season. The Purple People Eaters have a ferocious defense, a solid ground game and a quarterback who doesn’t make a mistake. Yes that’s right, Sam Bradford has been mistake-free since he came to Minnesota for a first round draft pick, a pick many sports pundits—including yours truly—said was way too high for the former first overall selection. Bradford finished the day with 255 yards through the air, and two touchdowns and zero interceptions. The game was really about the defense, and how they terrorized Brock Osweiler for 60 minutes, sacking him four times and hitting him 14. Osweiler finished with a 45 percent completion percentage with a measly 155 yards passing, one interception and a touchdown, much of it in garbage time when the game was already over. Minnesota remained the only undefeated team in the league, with Denver and Philadelphia going down this week. Do you think the Texans are having a bit of buyer’s remorse? After giving Brock Osweiler $72 million in the offseason to be their franchise quarterback, he sure hasn’t played like one. His completion percentage is under 60 percent and he has thrown seven interceptions in five games, as opposed to just six touchdowns. He has looked pedestrian at best, and pretty awful at worst. With J.J. Watt out for the year, Brock will have to step up his play and his leadership or Houston will be far from making the playoffs this year. Tom Brady made his triumphant return to the field on Sunday, and all his fantasy owners rejoiced. His return only saw him blow out the Browns on his way to three touchdown passes and more than 400 yards passing. I’m guessing that Brady will continue his tear through the league, and has put every team left on New England’s schedule on notice. While presidential candidate Donald Trump was busy telling Hillary Clinton he was going to put her in jail if he wins the election, the Green Bay Packers beat the Giants on the way to a 3-1 record. There will be a showdown at Lambeau Field in week 16 for the NFC North between Green Bay and Minnesota. The Dallas Cowboys and their rookies just keep impressing. Jerry Jones’ team was all but left for dead after Tony Romo got hurt at the beginning of preseason, yet they find themselves at 4-1, with the league leader in rushing yards with Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott, who has five touchdowns in five games, and Dak Prescott who is completing 69 percent of his passes and has thrown zero interceptions has led the Cowboys to the top of the NFC East. Prescott is now just eight passes away from breaking Tom Brady’s record for most pass attempts to start a career without an interception. Even with Prescott’s stellar play, all signs point to Tony Romo resuming his starting role in the next few weeks.

Locals Cowboys treat their suffer crushing farmers to lunch 39-15 last week defeat from Clear Lake ETHAN STOETZER Ň PHOTOS

RIGHT: Members of the 4-H Foundation grilled burgers for “Treat a Farmer to Lunch,” part of National 4-H week.

BY LES HOUSER CLARION – Any playoff hopes that the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows/ CAL football team still had pretty much vanished into the cool night air last Friday in Clarion in a 39-15 district loss to Clear Lake. Following a scoreless opening period, the Lions pounced on the Cowboys with three second-quarter trips to paydirt. The home team needed some momentum going into halftime, and got it on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Kainan Braun to Avery Harrington with just 49 ticks left on the clock. The PAT kick by Brendon Boyd was good, making it 21-7 Lions at the break. Following two more Clear Lake touchdowns, the Cowboys found their groove once again in culminating a drive with Reymundo Vasquez running the ball in from three yards out at the 8:41 mark. A two-point attempt by Braun was good, with Clear Lake scoring again late in the game. “Turnovers at inopportune times were the story in this one,” said head coach Newt Lingenfelter. “We fumbled two kick returns and fumbled a pitch deep in our own territory, which Clear Lake took advantage of. “There was only one punt in this game, which was by the Lions, but not until the fourth quarter. We failed again to perform in the red zone and struggled to get off the field on defense. On a positive note, we were successful at moving the ball when we had it. We had four possessions in the first half: A drive that ended in the red zone, two drives that we fumbled the ball and lost and a final drive when we scored.” The Cowboys finished with 234 yards of total offense on 48 snaps, compared to 373 total yards for the Lions. The red and black averaged 4.9 yards per play, and had five penalties for 35 total yards compared to eight flags for 60 yards on the Lions. The Lions held a big edge in time of possession, 30:01 to 16:46. They had 16 first downs compared to 21 for Clear Lake, and converted on three of nine third downs (33.3 percent) and two of five fourth downs (40 percent). Braun rushed for 65 yards on 19 carries, with Nate Rapp gaining 48 yards on 12 attempts. Braun was 6-of-10 for 92 yards through the air with one touchdown pass. Chase Harker caught three balls for 60 total yards, Harrington one pass for 11 yards and a score and Israel Rivera one for 10 yards. Harker returned five kicks for 70 total yards and Rivera two for 43. Rapp tallied four solo and eight assists. Zack Leist, Braun, Vasquez, Rivera, Max Weidemann and Carrillo all finished with two solo tackles each, with Leist and Braun getting in on five assists. The Cowboys (4-3, 2-3) travel to Forest City (4-3, 3-2) to face the Indians this Friday. Forest City won a 21-12 game over Hampton-Dumont last Friday.

Bulldogs drop close one at Forest City FOREST CITY – Hampton-Dumont was hampered by penalties in the fourth quarter as it was trying to drive against Forest City, falling short to the Indians by a 21-12 score on Friday, Oct. 7. Bulldogs’ quarterback Hunter Sutter rushed for 50 yards, scored both touchdowns, one a 27-yard run, as H-D fell to 0-7, 0-5 in the district. “As far as individual effort, Hunter played well,” H-D coach Dan Aalbers said. “He ran the option well and made good decisions running it.” Sutter also completed 5-of-6 passes for 68 yards and no interceptions as the Bulldogs combined for 238 yards of offense. But Forest City recovered a pair of fumbles, something H-D has struggled with this season. The Indians also hit the Bulldogs for eight losses, including three sacks of Sutter. “We had a couple of nice drives and penalties killed them,” Aalbers said. “It was a weird game in that there were 22 accepted penalties, six declined, so almost 30 f lags were thrown. We had a drive to the nine-yard line and there was a flag

thrown, and that killed a really good-looking drive. “Statistically, the game was pretty even, but we had two fumbles and lost both and they didn’t have any turnovers. The thing that stands out is the turnovers.” Aalbers added that on looking at district statistics, his team is minus-eight in turnovers. The Bulldogs trailed 14-6 at the half as the Indians scored on a 39yard pass play with 44 seconds left until the break. Sutter scored the final touchdown of the game with 53 seconds left in the third to make it 21-12 and neither team was able to get anything going in the final 12 minutes. “I felt that Johnny had a lot of tackles against Forest City defensively,” Aalbers said, “and I thought Dustin Miller played better defensively.” After missing last week, Ethan Spurgeon is expected to return to the H-D lineup. “The Bulldogs will try to regroup and seek their first win of the season against 1-6, 0-5 Osage, which is coming off of a 50-14 loss to New Hampton, at home this Fri-

We are proud to partner with many north Iowa organizations from Mason City YMCA, Meals on Wheels, the Free Dental Clinic and many more. Your continued support of Mercy helps us extend this type of partnership into our second century of service.

There have been two new changes to the FAFSA for the 2017-18 school year: • The filing date is now open as of Oct. 1 (before it was Jan. 1). • Candidates are able to use your prior year’s tax return (for example, this year you use 2015 tax return). Mission Possible Hampton is a community-based network in partnership with local school districts, business and industry, non-profit and philanthropy, promoting a college going atmosphere within Franklin County. In the 2015 school year, FAFSA completion was 66 percent of all H-D graduates. Mission Possible Hampton’s Goal #1 is to raise that number to 90 percent by 2025. In response to that goal, the leadership team has, and will continue, to hold local FAFSA workshops to help families walk through the application process and answer any questions. “Several FAFSA workshop participants commented that this was such a wonderful service that Mission Possible Hampton and NIACC were providing to all community members,” stated Valeria Gonzalez, NIACC Bilingual Enrollment Advisor. “I hope more families take advantage of the help being offered at the next FAFSA completion workshop, as it is an important step in the college going process and helps a student and their family budget and understand their financial options.” Appointments usually take 3045 minutes. Upon completion, the student and family feel as if a huge weight has been lifted off their shoulders. The FAFSA can be a daunting task to undertake for those that have never gone through the process, and Mission Possible wants to help facilitate that process and make it an easier one.
