Hampton Council reviews recommendations of planning and zoning board

Sheffield holiday shopping extravaganza

An amended ordinance addressing Intermodal Storage Containers remains under review by the council after deliberations

Everyone is welcome to Sheffield’s Holiday Shopping Extravaganza on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. at the West Fork High School. There will be crafters and vendors. Door prizes, breakfast concessions and lunch concessions will be available. The event is sponsored by West Fork Girl Scouts.

BY ETHAN STOETZER he Hampton City Council addressed several open topISC at its regular workshop session on Oct. 24, focusing a majority of its efforts on an amended ordinance proposal from the planning and zoning board, about the city’s regulation of Intermodal Storage Containers (ISCs). ISCs are containers commonly used as shipping containers on freighters, transporting goods, as well as can be transported by trucks or trains. The planning and zoning board took up the issue due to a resident’s frustration about one small business owner’s addition of ISCs to the businesses current stock of containers.

Zion Reformed Bizarre Bazaar Zion Reformed Church will host their “Bizarre Bazaar” on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 11 a.m. - 6:30 p.m., with a live auction to follow. Great tasting, homemade food will be served all day. The shops include: bakery, crafts, pantry (featuring home-canned meat), cards/napkins and Trash-n-Treasure. Zion is located at 2029 Jonquil Ave., in rural Sheffield; five miles west of Chapin and one-half mile north on Jonquil Avenue.

Public Works Director Doug Tarr represented the board before the council, and explained that this ordinance wouldn’t be too impactful to the community and “would be tucked away in the books for decades, coming out very few times.” Regardless, the discussion of ISCs sparked debate among council members and their abilities to dodge tax codes. Council at Large Richard Lukensmeyer reported to the council that county tax assessors were “frustrated” with how to handle ISCs and other structures that are used for storage, due to a provision in Iowa code that any unfixed structure of a property cannot be assessed for taxes. Meanwhile, residents who erect garages on their properties for the same purposes are taxed for square footage, because they are fixed

structures. The mayor and council openly discussed that properties that have these ISC’s could be profiting off of the storage space, and not paying the proper taxes on them. The amendment to the ordinance did not address current ISCs and how to financially handle them, leaving the council to recommend the possibility of creating a permit and licensing program for the continued use of current ISCs in Hampton. New section 18 in the amendment outlines the lengths and limitations that ISCs can be used in the city, for moving or temporary storage during a home or business remodel. See COUNCIL: Page 3

CAL Budgetary Financial Workshop reports multifaceted dilemmas facing district School district must overcome 14 percent solvency ratio to stabilize; overspending not a simple issue

Boy Scout enchilada fundraiser The public is invited to support local Boy Scouts at their enchilada supper on Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 4:30-7 p.m., at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Hampton. The menu includes enchiladas, rice, beans and a drink for $8. All proceeds will go toward the Boy Scouts of Hampton.

BY ETHAN STOETZER The financial difficulties facing the CAL School District can be often oversimplified: the district spends more money than it has. After reviewing past fiscal spending and revenue, Superintendent Todd Lettow informed the school board that the problem is anything but a single issue. The most glaring issue facing the board is its current debt solvency ratio of -7.19 percent. “This means basically that if the district closed its doors for good,” Lettow said, “the district would still owe money to people.” Lettow explained that a good space to be in, from a superintendent’s standpoint, is to operate with a debt solvency ratio of +7 percent. This would allow schools to never have to borrow money from other accounts.

Lions Club Election Day soup supper The public is invited to the Lions Club Election Day soup supper at First Congregational Church on Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 5-7 p.m. The menu includes chili, chicken noodle soup, or potato soup, bars and a beverage. The church is located at 22 1st Ave. SW, Hampton.

The 2015-2016 General Fund (GF) balance (the account in which most of a school’s expenses come from for a variety of needs) for CAL is -$266,199. It’s important to note that the in the fiscal year 2016, CAL started with a balance of -$206,791 and ended with a balance of -$187,740. Though the numbers are still in the negative, the decreased over all spending is contributed to the school consolidating positions and continuing to share services, Lettow said. But for all the negative balances and over spending, Lettow pointed out that the GF looks much different than the negative balance shows. Within the GF, sits funds awarded to the district from the state that are designated or “earmarked” dollars, that can only be used for specific things. The state-wide strategy is used to guide schools into establishing programs that the state Department of Education wants implemented. Lettow said that the district currently has an abundance of money for professional development, special education, ELL programs, homeschool assistance and other programs that cannot currently be used for anything

but the programs specifically measured — a total of almost $78,558. According to a Des Moines Register report, Iowa This means School Districts have $145 million basically that if dollars tied up in the district closed funds that cannot be used. Half its doors for good, the district would of all school districts in the state still owe money have an account to people. with over $50,000 that cannot be TODD LETTOW, used. Superintendent A closer look at the GF reveals that CAL has money, but it also doesn’t, at the same time. In order to raise the solvency ratio and make up the difference for some of its overspending, the board has been steadily levying cash that it takes from property tax increases.

FGH approves of facility renovations BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin General Hospital Board of Trustees approved a hospital renovations and improvements project after a public hearing on Oct. 24, awarding the contract to Contractor Dean Snyder, with a base bid of $590,865. The project will include converting the hospital’s old records storage office into a usable space, that will remodel the entire clinic portion of the facility. The plans will do away with a counter for patients to check in. 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 old 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.

FCDA hosts informational assembly for high schoolers BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin County Development Association hosted its “Elevate your future,” assembly at the Franklin County Convention Center, showcasing the many manufacturing businesses in Franklin County, while encouraging high school students to reevaluate a career in manufacturing. Area businesses including: Alliant Energy, Latham Seeds, Sukup and JT Machine and Tool Company of Hampton displayed the many facets of their industry to students from Hampton, CAL and Westfork districts, illustrating how these industries aid in the quality of life in Franklin County. Susan Clark, a member of the Economic Development Core Facility at Iowa State University, and a county ambassador for the Center for Industrial Research and Services at ISU, was the keynote speaker, and explained that manufacturing jobs aren’t the jobs that involve assembly line production. Manufacturing industries are the fourth largest employer in the U.S., 11.4 percent — behind accommodations and food services, retail and health and social assistance. See FCDA: Page 2

CAL BUDGET With a negative ending balance, the school district has the authority to level over $1 million to make up for funds; however, once it reaches the limit, the taxes can be raised no more. This fiscal year, $375,000 in cash have been levied, which drops the authority to approximately $1.05 million, down from its 2009 authority of approximately $1.62 million. While the district has been striving to cut expenses, and is projected to have relatively consistent enrollment numbers hovering around 260 students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with increasing funds coming in every year starting from $19,898 to $34,031 by 2021 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fact of the matter remains that unless the levying authority is completely used, that CAL would not be able to climb into the positive solvency ratio. The sentiment from the board is that having at least an elementary school within the CAL district is something desired for decades to come. The district is still slated to have 2-3 years before it cannot sustain its current school system, leaving grade sharing with Hampton-Dumont an eventuality. Cutting expenses, in accordance with slowly levying taxes and using cash can provide the necessary steps needed to reach positive solvency. The December school board meeting is slated to be the time at which the board will make a decision about what to do with grade sharing.

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin County Supervisors decided to defer a tax-rebate agreement to its bond counsel, after NEW Co-Opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bob Dobson requested a delay on the agreementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start date. The $23.5 million feed mill project is anticipated to take 18 months to complete, with construction to be delayed until Spring of 2017. The agreement was initially to take effect in spring 2018, but with a full project not slated to be completed by that time, NEW Co-Op said it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taking advantage of the full rebate program. During construction, the agreement will be set up so that NEW Co-Op pays the base tax of the land to the county, and then pays a tax on the partially developed property, until the tax assessor can see the final product to make an accurate valuation of the land. As it currently stands, the rebate is at $3 million or five years of rebates, whichever comes first. The mill is anticipated to add between 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 15 jobs.

The Hampton City Council approved a motion to seek legal authority to receive ownership of an abandoned aircraft, currently sitting on the Hampton Airport apron. City Manager Ron Dunt said that the city evicted the aircraft from the airport this past spring, but the owner has not come to take the aircraft away. Dunt said that the owner is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not cooperative and is ignoring,â&#x20AC;? the city. The apron of the airport is meant for overnight stays of aircraft, with a monthly rent of $200. In addition to seeking legal authority to own the aircraft, the council approved to increase the monthly rent payment to $2,000. Dunt said that the owner pays the rent on the apron currently, and that no other aircrafts will be impacted by the measure.

Latimer Council sets public hearing for sale of old council building

BY ETHAN STOETZER Approximately $33,000 worth of equipment was stolen from a chicken confinement site in Latimer, between the evening of Oct. 24 and the morning of Oct. 25. According to the Franklin County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, a 16 ft. bumper hitch silver enclosed trailer, with a black roof cap, were stolen, containing $25,000 worth of tools, including: power tools, two welders, on generator and ladders. The trailer itself was estimate to be worth $10,000. A second trailer was broken into, with power and hand tools and a generator taken, totaling $10,000.

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Latimer City Council set a public hearing date for the sale of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old city council building, at a special meeting on Oct. 27. Earlier this month, Mayor Mark Johansen said that he had received public interest in the building, which has a space that Alliant Energy been renting for $600 a month, since August. Because of Alliantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupation of the space, the property is more attractive to those who wish to make use of the space. Because the building is public property, a public hearing must be held before the opening of bids, which will be held on Nov. 8, at 7 p.m., at city hall. Alliant has agreed to the sale of the building; they are not in a long term agreement for the building. The current minimum bid for the building is set at $39,900.

COUNCIL

FGH

The amendment proposes a 30day, $20 permit to have the ISC, with the option for a renewal. Council members said agreed that the fee should be raised to $40, and that a similar financial mandate should be levied on the containers. Tarr explained that the $40 cost equates to $1.33 per day. Extrapolated to 365 days, that amount is approximately $485 in a license fee that the city would have, per ISC, of which there are several. Councilman Jay Hickman expressed that the individual burden would be too high, and that the city should assess the fee based on what a tax assessor would normally rate the square footage, to which council agreed with. The council approved of the new section 18, and amended the proposed section 17.01 (a) Exceptions, striking a provision that mandates the ISCs must be removed from the property at time of transfer of ownership. No formal decision was made about what to do with current ISCs and if they can be replaced, though the amended ordinance states which zones these containers can legally be in and which they are not allowed to be in. In other news, the council agreed to have its legal party continue to have the Air Industrial Park Urban Renewal Area continue, as its contractual end approaches in June 2018. The current plan establishes a Tax-Increment Financing (TIF) district, in which developers pay a base tax on the property and receive a separate tax based on improvements or â&#x20AC;&#x153;incrementsâ&#x20AC;? added to the property, with possible rebates throughout the life of a specific contractual agreement. Letting the current agreement end, explained City Manager Ron Dunt, means that should the city then create another urban renewal area on the same location, the base valuation will be on the new assessed property value, which will be much higher than its valuation now. Any TIF money raised from the district will then take longer to achieve. Within a TIF area, the city receives all of the benefit, as schools and county taxes are not collected. The city will have to hear from both the county and the school district before they approve an extension of the urban renewal area.

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 facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. 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. Dean Snyder has worked on several projects for FGH previously, including:

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

o a ne spapers retain secon amen ment man ate ith FO C After several months of legalese debate, the flexing of bureaucratic muscles and newspapers across the state in a stalemate with county recorders and the Iowa Department of Public Health, a decision has been made by the Iowa Freedom of Information Council declaring vital records be freely released to newspapers without the threat of jail. In mid-September, the Des Moines Register reported instances in which papers began receiving notices, cautioning them against the publication of information obtained from “vital records.” Doing so would have left the publication liable for a $625 fine and/or up to 30 days in jail. Without the legalese, the “vital information” that was considered “prohibited” from publishing consists of mainly births, deaths, marriages and divorces, the Register said, at the time. The memo to state county recorders read: “You need to immediately stop providing lists of vital records for any purpose,” Melissa Bird, bureau chief of health statistics for the Iowa Department of Public Health wrote. “(The) Public can have access to vital records via the public terminals. The information inspected and copies shall not be published.” These “vital records,” as mentioned earlier, could be considered frivolous items. Marriage certificates, divorce certificates and birth and death notices aren’t really sought after by most members of the public, except family members. When it comes to newspapers, specifically rural Iowa, these records serve the function of being an aware neighbor. Knowing who got married or divorced, and who had a child and who lost a loved one serves the intention of providing condolences or congratulations. Most importantly, these records can be obtained by anyone, of any age, from the court house with the provided login information from county employees, who are required by federal law to give it to anyone who asks. Their publication in a newspaper is merely a way of taking every record and putting it into one printed document that people are most likely to see. According to a recent ruling by the FOIC, newspapers can publish these documents because they are filed by a county recorder. The council expressed that the Department of Public Health’s primary intent in lecturing recorders to avoid releasing documents was the threat of an alternate vital records database would be set up, which violates Iowa code. The council further ruled that when these records are processed by the county, they are public; records from the state however, are not, according to code. The council and the Department of Public Health have decided to hold a hearing amending the Iowa code, so that newspapers would not have a problem accessing such records again, and clarifies legalese in the prohibition of establishing an alternate records database. The news comes as a relief to newspapers in Iowa, as editors no longer must fear penalties for publishing public records, but still, the news is unsettling; the fact that a state code was interpreted in a way that established the press as a competitor with the government shouldn’t dissipate quickly. The press was never intended to compete with the government. In fact, without the government as we know it, the press would cease to operate in the way we know it, too. The press is a medium, a middle man of sorts, that absorbs information from professionals, sifts out the jargon, and presents it in context to voters. Without it, readers wouldn’t know who to vote for or what’s important. The press is not the enemy of the government. They have a mutual relationship with one another. They need each other. Both parties should make a point to remember that.

Counting down the days It’s almost over. Thank the deity of your choosing because this is America and, for at least the next few days, the First Amendment still gives you that right. But no, this column is not about Donald Trump, or even the presidential race at all. Plenty of print has been dedicated to the disaster at the top of the ticket. Instead, let’s take a step back and remember how we got to this point. A point where so many people are so sick and tired of our dysfunctional government that a candidate whose scandals are too numerous to list has still made it within spitting distance of the presidency simply by running on the platform of “burn it all to the ground.” It’s not likely that Trump will win. Anything could happen, but it’s looking increasingly likely that President Trump will not be “draining the swamp.” Which is a shame because that’s probably the one campaign issue he’s right about. In fact, I can think of a particular turtle that definitely needs to be relocated out of Washington D.C. Unfortunately, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn’t up for re-election until 2020. Fortunately, many of McConnell’s fellow Republican congressmen are up for re-election this year. So, before we go to the polls and finish this election for good, let’s take a walk down memory lane. Remember back to that ancient time of 2008 when President George W. Bush’s eight year disaster finished big with the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. The newly elected President Obama came into office with an overwhelming popular mandate to fix the mess. Republicans at this point had two options. Concede defeat gracefully and work with the Democratic majority to set things right; or dig in, double down and prevent anybody from doing anything in the hopes that if they could keep the President from doing anything productive, people would vote them back into power. They chose the latter. Before President Obama even took office, Republican leadership made the decision to turn every issue, big or small, into a partisan battle. Obama’s first term in office was met by a record setting number of Republican filibusters, including the filibuster of a bill to provide medi-

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer So when you go to the polls next week, don’t just think about the White House. That’s only one branch of power. cal care for 9/11 first responders. As former Senator George Vonovich famously admitted, “If he was for it, we had to be against it.” Compromise and bi-partisan cooperation on even the most pragmatic of issues was taken off the GOP platform. The result was the least productive congress since before World War II and the fostering of a toxic political environment that lead to our current political fiasco. Remember 2011, when the word “debt” triggered Republicans into a fiscally suicidal march against raising the debt ceiling, a non-controversial matter of business that sounds bad but really just means that the United States government promises to pay their bills. This dangerously irresponsible game of chicken with the economy threatened an international stock market crash and resulted in the downgrading of the government’s credit rating. One year later, they were at it again. With the Bush Tax Cuts set to expire at the end of 2012, it was up to Congress to decide whether or not to extend them. Democrats proposed to extend the tax cuts for everybody making less than $250,000. This proposal was filibustered in the Senate by Republicans, who decided that if the wealthy didn’t get to keep their tax break, nobody would. Make no mistake, the GOP used my paycheck and yours as leverage to negotiate for continuing tax breaks for the wealthy. Then we get to 2013. After their 45th failed attempt to kill the Affordable Care Act, Congressional Republicans decided to just stop funding the government all together, resulting in a 16-day government shutdown that put 800,000 people on furlough, shut down government

services across the country and cost the economy billions of dollars. This is not how you govern. This is a party that has put politics over pragmatism at every opportunity. Their obstruction has done untold economic harm to this nation and only resulted in further political polarization. And it goes on today as Judge Merrick Garland continues to set the record for the longest wait for a Supreme Court nomination hearing in U.S. history. Garland will probably not fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia. Not because he’s unqualified, he is. Not because he’s too liberal, he’s as centrist a pick as you’ll ever see. He won’t be selected because Republican leadership has never accepted that Barack Obama was voted in as President and they aren’t going to start now. And that obstruction is set to continue. In March, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and our very own Senator Chuck Grassley excused their abandonment of responsibility by saying that the next president should be the one to choose Scalia’s replacement. Apparently the people who decided Barack Obama should be president in 2012 weren’t good enough to listen to. Today, before this election is even over, they’re already preparing to move the goal posts further. Hillary Clinton hasn’t even been elected yet, but if she is, congressional Republicans are already throwing around the idea that that they’ll continue to hold up the process for another four years. In this, the GOP and Donald Trump couldn’t be more alike. They only accept the results of the elections they win. And don’t even start with “both parties are equally bad” line. They aren’t. You know they aren’t. Being the opposition party means finding compromise, not sabotaging the foundation of our civilization. The damage the Republican party has done to our system of government is objective reality. So when you go to the polls next week, don’t just think about the White House. That’s only one branch of power. If you really want to “drain the swamp,” down ticket is where you start.

The Victory Gardens of World War II, Part One BY MICKEY FERRIS Every winter, when the snow is blowing and the temperature is falling, my mood lightens up when the seed catalogs start arriving. I go through last year’s seeds, make a list of what I want and start hunting for seeds in earnest. I raise Celebrity tomatoes, plus a couple others for a variety. I start my own plants because I like to. We have raised the same green beans, Blue Lake, for 60 years but everything else is up for grabs. Since my garden is small, I beg and borrow vegetables from son Jeff to “put up” for winter. I long for a big garden again, even though I know I couldn’t deal with it. Years ago, while I was at work my husband seeded down almost my entire huge garden plot, leaving me with a small area. Among other things, he plowed up my horseradish, which popped up all over the grass area for twenty years, which always amused me. I well remember my Mother’s huge garden. Many a day I sat at the end of a row, looked down it at all those little weeds, and cried. My Mother did not believe in hoeing if the weeds were taller than half an inch, after all, she had me to pull

them. One year I developed weed poisoning and couldn’t go near the garden. That was one of the nicest things that ever happened to me. Mom bought cherries, peaches and pears to can. In those days the peaches and pears arrived in wooden crates, individually wrapped in thin tissue paper. She checked them every day and canned as they ripened. She also had a huge strawberry patch and did not allow my sister or me in it, she did it all herself. We picked wild black raspberries in a nearby ditch (in the days before spray and mowing). We also picked apples, gooseberries, crabapples, elderberries, mulberries (a hateful job), wild plums and wild grapes. My Mother loved ground cherries for pie and jam but never planted them, they just grew from their own seeds, in those little papery jackets, wherever they wanted and we hoed around them. She had her own rhubarb, asparagus, cantaloupe, cucumbers (to eat and to pickle), and the pole beans and squash were raised in with the field corn. Then there was all the common stuff like onions, radishes, peas, bush beans, eggplant, etc. There was a pecking order and Dad only did certain things. He

plowed, dragged the garden and marked all the rows. He planted or supervised planting the potatoes and dug them in the fall. He also paid me to pick off those little striped potato bugs. The only other thing I was ever paid to do on the farm was to chop thistles. It was a mystery to me back then but now I figure, for some reason, he hated to do those two jobs. My Mother’s tomatoes were always super. She grew her own plants in waxed milk cartons and put Epson salts in the hole when she planted them, then watered, added a little dirt and put in the tomatoes. She placed a little paper guard around each and every plant to keep the cutworms from cutting them off. We had platters of fried green tomatoes and ate red tomatoes all summer long. My Mother canned tomatoes late in the summer when it was very hot. I can still see all those quart jars of tomatoes sitting on newspapers all over the kitchen floor. She canned chili soup, chili sauce (we never had catsup), tomato juice, plain tomatoes and her “specialty”, cold packed whole tomatoes, which had to be “just so” in the jar and these we ate like peaches with sugar. During World War II, the only

change to her garden was the addition of two small plots for my sister and me to plant and care for. We felt it was so unfair to make us take care of these plots as well as the big garden, but my parents said we had to have a “Victory Garden” of our own, and so we did for the duration of the war. Because so many men were in the service, a Manpower Mobilization Meeting was held on Tuesday, May 04, 1943 in the Hampton School Auditorium to make plans. Women, children and men unable to go into the service were organized to help with all kinds of harvesting. The Armistice Day freeze of 1941 had wiped out home and commercial fruit trees and grapes, so people were urged to plant as much as they could. Swift and Company of Hampton had a huge ad in the newspaper begging for help with their poultry crop. Children were expected to do what they could, most women did double duty and even the elderly were dusted off and put to work. Marshall Canning announced forty Jamaican workers would work in their pea patch. These British subjects would live on the company grounds.

Farmers in Franklin County found themselves with a bumper crop of oats and no one to harvest the grain. H. G. Doeringsfeld, Earl Hackbarth, Dwight Purcell, Forrest Beemer and Rex Robinson (all Hampton businessmen) headed up emergency farm worker crews who shocked the oats. Anything made of metal and tires were the first shortages felt in the United States. People were urged to go no faster than thirty-five miles per hour, which was considered the “Victory Speed.” Rubber and gas rationing was hard on everyone who drove. To get classification, you had to swear you owned no more than five tires and needed gas. An “A” sticker on your windshield meant you could buy four gallons of gas per week but no pleasure driving. A Green “B” sticker was for war workers who were allowed eight gallons per week. A Red “C” sticker was for physicians, ministers, mail carriers and railroad workers. A “T” sticker was for truckers and they were allowed unlimited gas. An “X” sticker was for members of Congress and VIP’s who were allowed unlimited gas… so see, nothing has changed!

Many years ago our garden was being whipped by the wind, so we decided to plant a row of bushes to protect it. Later, we built a small feedlot south of there. A row of trees next to the bushes made sense to keep snow out of the feedlot and the cattle comfortable. We have been buying seedlings from the soil office fundraiser for as long as I can r e m e m b e r. Those people do a g r e at job promoting s oi l c o n ser vation. It must be f r ust rating for t he m. The tradition of farmer as master over the land usually trumps the idea of working with nature instead of destroying it for short term gain. It is too bad that the people at the soil office are having their work destroyed by a related government agency. Yesterday I discovered several trees had been shredded by deer. We had watered, weeded and mulched those trees for years and they had finally taken off. Now they are torn to shreds. I’ve come up with a few simple measures that could not only save lives and money, but also aid the hungry. Many taxpayer dollars could be saved if the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) were restricted from jurisdiction over private property. When deer are on our property they should be subject to our rule not the rule of the state. Did you know it is illegal to sell harvested deer meat? Restaurants in the United States that serve venison, import it from New Zealand. Dumb.

We’ve spent $4 trillion on a war on terror that hasn’t impacted as many Americans as the deer. In fact, much of that $4 trillion acted as a recruitment tool or incitement, not as a deterrent. Then there are all the hungry people who get food stamps to buy groceries. I remember back in my days in the mountains of western Montana, going to apply for food stamps. Even before the Spotted Owl scam, jobs were pretty scarce at times in timber country. I looked at all that paperwork and walked out. I lived with a couple guys who could shoot straight and I could help carry, so we survived on a diet that lacked the diversity of a grocery store. It is incredible to me that an animal that costs $4 billion and 200 lives a year in vehicle crashes is managed to provide sport for a tiny minority. That we need a license from the state to shoot a deer should be shocking to people in a free country. We’ve spent $4 trillion on a war on terror that hasn’t impacted as many Americans as the deer. In fact, much of that $4 trillion acted as a recruitment tool or incitement, not as a deterrent. Without the incentive of our air bases in Saudi Arabia, 9/11 very well could have never happened. And our reaction to it was the most costly part. I’m not trying to discount the threat of jihad, I’m only offering perspective on another problem caused by excessive government power. I couldn’t find a solid number on the cost of deer damage to crops and residential plantings, but even without those added, one motorcyclist hitting a deer on the interstate should be enough that our government should not only stay completely out of the deer management business, but should encourage any hungry person to seek one for their freezer at any time. It would be fine with me if the DNR stuck to enforcing trespass laws. That would take care of all the environmental issues they are presently responsible for. Individual people should be accountable, not an easily manipulated bureaucracy.

In tight budget times, it is more important than ever that we be smart on crime. There are some excellent ways to reduce the number of repeat offenders, keep people out of prison and save taxpayer dollars. Family treatment courts, a better approach to sentencing and helping offenders re-enter society can help. Family Treatment Courts are an alternative for parents with substance use problems who haven’t properly cared for their children. These courts offer help from a team of professionals, access to treatment and frequent drug testing. A recent study shows nearly 1,000 parents and more than 1,600

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

JUST THE ISSUES: THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE BY TRAVIS FISCHER Election Day is coming up quickly and while most have already made up their mind about which candidate they are voting for, there are still those out there undecided between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. In a campaign flush with scandals, insults and larger than life personalities, the actual policies and platforms can get lost in the shuffle. And while either candidate will have a difficult time convincing Congress to pass all of their proposals, it is important to know where each stands on the issues that affect the lives of their hopeful constituents.

be subject to taxing. For businesses, Trump would lower the business tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent and eliminate the corporate alternative minimum tax. At the same time, Trump would eliminate the deduction for domestic production and other business related credits, save the research and development credit. Trump would also approve a 10 percent tax holiday to repatriate corporate profits held overseas. Clinton would leave the tax rate where it is, but quadruple the size of the startup deduction from $5,000 to $20,000 and expand the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits to small businesses, along with new tax credits for profit-sharing and apprenticeships. Clinton would also focus on closing tax shelters and loopholes that allow large businesses and the wealthy to pay lower effective tax rates. In reports from The Tax Foundation, it is predicted that Clinton’s tax plan would result in a 2.6 percent reduction of growth in the GDP over the next ten years. Likewise, wage rate growth would be reduced by 2.1 percent and 697,000 jobs would be lost. At the same time, Clinton’s plan would increase government revenues by $1.4 trillion over 10 years, reducing the national debt by an estimated $1.6 trillion in that time. In a polar opposite, Trump’s plan is predicted to result in a 6.9-8.2 percent increase in GDP growth, a 5.4-6.3 percent increase in wage rate growth, and add 1.8-2.1 million jobs. However, it would also reduce government revenue by as much as $5.9 trillion, adding an estimated $7.2 trillion to the national debt.

• Taxes Currently, income tax in the United States is divided among seven brackets ranging from 10 percent for the lowest earners (less than $9,275 annually) to 39.6 percent for the highest (more than $415,050 annually.) The average Iowan falls into the 15 percent bracket, making between $9,275 and $37,650 annually. Clinton’s proposal for tax reform would leave these brackets as they are, however an additional bracket would be created, taxing annual income over $5 million at 43.6 percent. Clinton would also enact the “Buffett Rule,” which would establish a 30 percent minimum tax on people with adjusted gross income of over $1 million. In comparison, Trump would propose a tax reform plan that reduces the number of tax brackets from seven to three. Tax rates would start at 12 percent for individual income up to $37,500. Above that, income between $37,500 and $112,500 would be taxed at 25 percent, and income above $112,500 would be taxed at 33 percent. These brackets would be doubled for married-joint filers, with the Head of Household deduction eliminated completely. Trump would also increase the standard deduction from $6,300 to $15,000 per person. Deductions would be capped at $100,000. Under Clinton, the standard deduction would remain the same and deductions would be limited to a tax value of 28 percent, with the exception of charitable deductions. Regarding the estate tax, commonly known as the death tax, estates valued at more than $5.45 million currently pay a 40 percent tax on the remaining amount. Clinton would see the exemption returned to its 2009 amount of $3.5 million and increase the top rate on estates worth more than $500 million to 65 percent. Trump would see the estate tax removed entirely, however capital gains valued over $10 million would

• Economy In matters of the economy, Clinton’s plan centers on a major investment in infrastructure to improve airports, public schools, transportation and internet access across the country. Her $10 billion “Make it in America” plan would fund programs to support domestic manufacturing, crack down on foreign influences on the market and provide incentives to keep jobs in the United States. Locally, Clinton proposes an expansion of Rural Business Investment Companies, establishing greater capital networks in rural areas for small businesses. Likewise, small town banks would be separated from the regulations and red tape meant to restrain billion dollar financial institutions. For farmers, Clinton would double the funding for the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development program and the Farmers Market Promotion Program. Expansion to the Local Food Promotion Program would also allow small producers to

sell their product directly to schools, hospitals, and retailers. For energy, Clinton would launch a $60 billion Clean Energy Challenge, focusing on increasing advancements in renewable electricity. This plan also includes doubling loan guarantees for biofuel production and expanding access to E15, E85 and biodiesel blends. Trump’s policy largely centers on his tax cuts, but also includes eliminating regulations such as the Waters of the U.S. Rule and the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. On energy, Trump supports hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, and offshore oil drilling. Neither candidate says they will approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership and both would hold China accountable for its practices, such as dumping low quality steel into the market and the theft of American trade secrets. Trump would go further still in foreign trade relations, intending to renegotiate NAFTA under the threat of a complete withdrawal. Domestically, Trump would issue a moratorium on new regulations not approved by Congress or are found to be in the interest of public safety. • Family Care A major part of Trump’s campaign has been his proposal for reducing the economic burden on parents. Trump’s plan would adjust the current child care tax benefit. Currently childcare expenses up to $3,000 for a child or up to $6,000 for two or more children can qualify for

a 35 percent tax credit. Trump’s plan increases the number of maximum qualifying children from two to four, up to the age of 13, and replaces the tax credit with an income tax deduction capped at the average cost of care in that state. In Iowa, the average cost of child care is roughly $9,000 per year. Assuming $9,000 is spent on child care, a family that earns up to $75,000 annually would receive a tax reduction of $1,080 per child. A family that earns up to $225,000 annually would receive a tax reduction of $2,250 while a family that earns up to $500,000 annually would receive a reduction of $2,970. Families with income over $500,000 would not be eligible for the tax deduction. Similarly, Trump’s proposal would allow families to file a $5,000 deduction on expenses centered on caring for elderly family members, reducing their taxes by $600, $1,250, or $1,650, depending on their tax bracket. For lower-income parents that already have no income tax liability, Trump’s plan would also provide an Earned Income Tax Credit boost of up to half of the payroll for the lower earning parent, up to an income limitation of $31,200. Trump’s plan would also give parents the option of opening a dependent care savings account, which would allow families to annually contribute up to $2,000 in a tax free account that can be drawn from to pay for higher education or other expenses. Low income families will receive 50 percent match-

ing funds of up to $500 per year from the government. For child care itself, Trump recommends reducing daycare staffing regulations that lower the child-tostaff ratio, allowing daycares to reduce costs by hiring fewer staff. To encourage more businesses to provide child care, Trump would also propose an expansion to the 2001 legislation that gives businesses with on-site daycare facilities a 25 percent tax credit on expenditures and 10 percent of resource and referral costs, up to $150,000 per year. Trump would increase that cap and allow different companies to pool their resources to get more out of the tax credit. On maternity leave, Trump would allow new mothers to receive six weeks of unemployment insurance after having a baby. In comparison, Clinton’s plan would require employers to give up to 12 weeks of leave to both parents and provide tax relief subsidies to parents that spend more than 10 percent of their income on child care. Clinton’s Respect and Increased Salaries for Early Childhood Educators (RAISE) initiative would fund state and community programs that increase pay for child care providers and early educators. Likewise, Clinton would propose doubling investments in Early Head Start programs and funding universal preschool for four-year-olds. For student parents, Clinton proposes scholarships of up to $1,500 per year to go towards child care costs and would see increased funding for campus-based child care centers.

• Healthcare Like all Republican presidential candidates since 2012, Donald Trump’s healthcare reform policy begins with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, eliminating the health care exchanges, the personal mandate to purchase health insurance and penalty for those that don’t, and the regulations that prevent insurance companies from enacting life-time coverage limits and denying applicants based on pre-existing conditions. In its place, Trump would modify existing laws to allow the sale of health insurance across state lines, though insurance companies would still have to comply with state regulations. For consumers, Trump would allow individuals to deduct the cost of health insurance premiums from their taxes and establish taxfree Health Savings Accounts that can be used to save for major health expenses. To increase competition, both would allow imported drugs into the domestic market. Continuing the work started by President Obama, Clinton would expand the Affordable Care Act with the ultimate goal of offering a public-option insurance plan. To that end, Clinton supports and expansion of Medicaid that would allow people over 55 that aren’t normally eligible for Medicaid to buy into the program. To reduce the cost of prescription medication, Clinton would increase funding to the FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs to clear out the backlog of generics that have yet to be approved. Drug companies would also no longer be allowed to pay for arrangements that keep generic drugs off the market. Likewise, Clinton would eliminate corporate tax write-offs for consumer advertising for pharmaceutical companies. The increased tax revenue would then go towards investments in research and making a permanent R&D tax credit. On the consumer end of things, Clinton would require that health insurance plans cap out-of-pocket expenses for drugs at $250 per month. Outside of regular health care, Clinton also plans to implement a $10 billion initiative to combat drug and alcohol abuse, providing funds for prevention programs, treatment and recovery and criminal justice reform that prioritizes treatment of non-violent drug offenders rather than incarceration. The plan also involves providing naloxone training to first responders, which can prevent a fatal opioid overdose. • Immigration Immigration reform has been central to the Trump campaign, with its cornerstone being the construction of a border wall spanning the Mexico-United States border.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2016

ELECTION PREVIEW Trump has repeatedly assured supporters that Mexico will pay for the wall. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has made it clear he has no intention of paying for the construction of a wall, however Trump has a plan he believes will force Peña Nieto’s hand, starting with a proposed rule to rewrite wire transfer laws to require legal documentation of lawful presence before money can be sent outside of the United States, making it difficult for illegal immigrants to wire money back to their families. Trump would not implement this rule if Mexico agrees to pay for the wall. If that doesn’t work, Trump would propose import tariffs, increased visa fees or outright cancelling visas until the wall is built. Along with the wall, Trump intends to hire 5,000 additional border patrol agents and expand the number of border patrol stations in the south. For illegal immigrants already in the country, Trump would reverse President Obama’s two executive actions that deferred action against illegal immigrants that were brought into the country as children and illegal immigrants that have children

who are American citizens. To enforce immigration laws, Trump intends to triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officers and create a Deportation Task Force to identify illegal aliens and detain them until they can be deported. Sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal authorities in tracking and detaining illegal immigrants would be cut off from federal funding. For those that do enter the country legally, a biometric tracking system would be implemented to ensure that visitors do not overstay their visa, which is the leading source of illegal immigration. In contrast, Clinton’s immigration reform plan centers on a pathway to full citizenship. She would continue to support President Obama’s executive actions, allow families regardless of status to buy into the Affordable Care Act exchanges, and focus deportment on illegal immigrants that are a threat to public safety. For immigrants already in the country, Clinton would create the Office of Immigrant Affairs, with $15 million in funding for naturaliza-

tion programs such as adult English learning and citizenship education. • Military In matters of the military, both Clinton and Trump support ending the sequester on defense spending. Trump proposes increases in recruitment and military spending to build up to 35 Marine Corp battalions, 350 naval ships and submarines, and 1,200 aircraft fighters, along with updates to missile defense and cyber warfare. Clinton’s platform also involves strengthening the military, encouraging recruitment with compensation and benefit reform and improving on family services with an expansion of spouse employment programs and greater access to child care. However the bulk of Clinton’s plan focuses more on VA reform, using the “New Bradley Plan” to streamline the claims process and eliminate the VA’s notorious backlog of claims and appeals. The VA would work closely with the Department of Defense to ready themselves for outgoing veterans so they can be entered into the VA system more quickly.

The expansion of VA services would also include more services for female soldiers and increased funding for mental health providers and programs that provide treatment for veterans with suicidal tendencies. Outside of the VA, Clinton wants to continue support of the GI bill and expand the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to provide credit for businesses that hire disabled veterans. For Trump, his plan for VA reform starts with a turnover of personnel, appointing a VA secretary empowered to terminate or discipline the federal employees that have allowed the VA’s claims to backlog as far as they have. Trump would also create a commission to investigate the VA and present those findings to Congress to inform legislative reform. Individual issues with the VA would be addressed by a 24 hour hotline to the White House and the ability for veterans to seek care at private service providers. Reform of the visa system is also part of Trump’s plan, concluding that with fewer immigrants in the country, more health care resources will be available for veterans.

PUBLIC NOTICE Board of Supervisors OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS FRANKLIN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS UNAPPROVED MINUTES OCTOBER 24, 2016 Be it duly noted these minutes of 10/24/16 are UNOFFICIAL minutes. The Board of Supervisors met in regular session at 8:30 a.m., with Board members Corey Eberling-Chairman and Gary McVicker present; Michael Nolte absent. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, approves the agenda as submitted. All ayes, motion carried. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, approves the minutes of 10/17/16. All ayes. Motion carried. Committee Updates: Central Iowa Juvenile Detention; FCDA; DD 34 inspection with Lee Gallentine and Nolan Rolene-asking if Weidemann (contractor) could widen the grass way for a small fee; and C13 concerns. Tom Birdsell-Castle Dick & Kelch reviewed the County’s Tort Liability Insurance Renewal. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, opens at 10 a.m., a Public Hearing to possibly adopt Resolution 2016-39: Approving a Development Agreement with NEW Cooperative, Inc., Authorizing Tax Increment Payments and Pledging Certain Tax Increment Revenues to the Payment of the Agreement. All ayes, motion carried. Present was: Bob Dobson-Controller New Cooperative Inc., Karen Mitchell-FCDA Director and John Danos-Dorsey Whitney Bonding Attorney via phone. Timelines in the Agreement were questioned by New Coop and changes were requested by Dobson to adjust to their building timeline. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, closes the Public Hearing at 10:22 a.m. All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, delays action on the adoption of Resolution 2016-39 until John Danos, Bonding Attorney, has time to revise timelines in the Agreement per changes requested by New Coop and the Board’s agreeing to proceed with those changes at today’s meeting. Said changes and action will be addressed at the 10/31/2016 Board meeting. All ayes, motion carried. Lee Gallentine-Ryken Engineering was present to explain multiple drainage district matters. Also present was Sandy Eckhardt-Drainage Clerk. Drainage districts discussed were: JDD 6-141 a map was provided identifying televised areas. Gallentine recommended putting a hold on this work order for repair and wait until next summer/fall to determine if the need is still warranted. Supervisors agreed to wait and put on hold to look at in the fall of 2017. DD 9, Sub 1 Bradford area. Gallentine excavated at the intake, determining upstream was Àowing slowly and downstream Àowing slowly with tree roots (from alley to railroad) and grease. There is no blockage but there is a constriction in the tile somewhere downstream and he would like to do more televising from downstream going north. The Board agreed to start downstream and televise north and see if there is an issue around the railroad area or somewhere in the tile to possibly ¿nd what the total

problem is. Gallentine will proceed. JDD 4-118 Gallentine hasn’t done anything at this location. Vanness brothers, Bob Parks and Hensel’s have all sited there being a problem northwest of I-35 and Hwy 3. The Board requests Eckhardt prepare work orders with names associated with said past requests and then requests Gallentine televise the area at Bob Parks at Dogwood and televise each direction to see what might be found. DD 29 Gallentine has not found any blockage to date and has not found any issues at this time. The only conclusion he can come up with is the tile is too small for the capacity of water it is taking. JDD 3-111 Eberling looked into and noted that district tile doesn’t have much grade. Eberling will approach Vanness to see what the problem is and possibly ¿ll out a work order at that time. Christa Wiarda, Health Nurse Director, met to update the Board on the Nurses Department. No action taken. Ryan Peterson-Maintenance, requests the County reimburse him regarding the use of a personal owned cell phone rather than using two phones. The Board agreed for Peterson to obtain a personal smart phone and receive maximum reimbursement for using said phone for business purposes, reducing the need to carry two phones. Snow Removal-Notice for bids have been published with the deadline on November 11. The Condition Assessment & Budgetary Cost Estimate for 5 copper Courthouse statues, provided by Conservation Solutions, Inc., Clinton, MD was delayed due to not receiving the Contract and paperwork and will be addressed at a later time. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, approves claims for period ending 10/23/16. All ayes. Motion carried.

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS CITY OF HAMPTON UNAPPROVED MINUTES WORKSHOP SESSION OCTOBER 24, 2016 The Council met at 6 p.m. Members present were: Mollenbeck, Hickman, Pralle, Davies and Lukensmeyer. Absent: Freie. Mayor Boehmler called the workshop to order. Also present were Police Chief Bob Schaefer, Public Works Director Doug Tarr and City Manager Ron Dunt. Public comment: Mayor Boehmler explained he would have Council Priorities on future agendas for discussion. Ron handed out the proposed Wellmark health insurance renewal notice which includes a 15.84 percent increase. The council discussed potential options and Ron will continue to work with Wellmark and Three Rivers Bene¿ts on analyzing options for renewal. Ron explained that the Air Industrial Park Urban Renewal Area is set to expire on June 30, 2018. There is currently one TIF rebate development agreement in place. Ron recommended the council consider amending the urban renewal plan to extend the termination date to allow for future tax increment incentives such as TIF rebates. The consensus of the council was favorable for a 10 year extension. Ron will proceed with planning council proceedings with the city TIF attorney and report back to the council. The council then reviewed DRAFT Ordinance 367 which regulates Intermodal Storage Containers (ISC). The consensus was to increase the permit fee under 18.04 from $20 to $40, to remove the second sentence in Section 17.01(a) which requires ISC’s to be removed upon the sale of exempted properties. The council discussed adding language requiring ISC’s to be af¿xed permanently as real estate or as an alternative, establish an annual permit fee for ISC’s based on square footage. Staff will add language under 17.01 for minimum condition of ISC units. Doug and Ron explained that the 2016 HMA Overlay project ¿nal costs totaled $105,000. The city budgeted $130,000 so the council considered the following alternatives for use of those funds: put funding towards paving or chip sealing the Harriman Park driveway or adding to next years’ budgeted overlay projects. Doug will obtain more quotes for paving and chip sealing and report back to the council. The Workshop concluded at 7:24 p.m.

Setting successful investment goals “Individuals spend more time planning a summer vacation than they do setting investment goals,” says Brenda Schmitt, family finance specialist with Iowa State University Extension. “To focus on your dreams, establish specific investment goals. Then you are more likely to be successful.” Write down your goals. Putting them on paper reminds you of their significance and can motivate you to do what you need to do to achieve them. Most individuals have more than one investment goal. However, it is best not to have so many competing goals that you become discouraged. Also, divide them into short-, medium-, or long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that can be accomplished within the next two-to-three years. Having a specific dollar amount for a car in two years is a shortterm goal. Medium-term goals

are those that could be accomplished within the next three to ten years, for example, having a fund for a child’s college education. Longterm goals are those that take more than ten years to accomplish, for example, having a nest egg to fund retirement.

Schmitt suggests that investment goals should be SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, reviewed, and time-related. A specific goal is one with dollar amounts and dates established for an identified purpose. Decide on a regular amount to invest weekly, biweekly or monthly to accomplish your goals. Be realistic and estab-

lish attainable investment goals given your financial situation. Review your goals regularly, for example, annually, to see if you are on target or whether revisions need to be made in your investment plan. Have a timeline for accomplishing your goals. For example, suppose you want a retirement nest egg that will yield $1,000 per month to supplement your pension. If you plan to retire in 20 years, you will need to put $150 a month in investments averaging a 10 percent return to have a $114,000 nest egg at retirement. If you don’t know where you are going you can’t choose the right path to get there. By establishing specific investment goals, you have a road map to achieving financial success. Long-term goals are those that take more than ten years to accomplish, for example, having a nest egg to fund retirement.

MONEY TIPS • Manage money and other assets wisely. Financial caregivers may be in charge of daily, unexpected and future expenses their loved one may incur. Especially if the beneficiary has a fixed income or limited finances, it is extremely important that caregivers minimize unnecessary costs and budget accordingly to ensure that all money is properly allocated. • Recognize danger signs. Seniors have become major targets for financial abuse and fraud. Make sure to stay alert to signs of scams or identity theft that may put your loved one’s assets in peril. • Keep careful records. When acting as a financial agent, proper documentation is not only encouraged but required. Make sure you keep well-organized financial re-

cords, including up-to date lists of assets and debts and a streamline of all financial transactions. • Stay informed. Monitor changes in financial status of the beneficiary and take appropriate action, as needed. Also, be sure to stay up to date on changes in the laws affecting seniors. • Seek professional advice. Consult First Security’s professional advisors in the Trust Department when you’re not sure what to do. In addition, First Security offers an explanation of the various roles and responsibilities of three types of financial caregivers: power of attorney, trustee and federal fiduciary. Understanding your role as a power of attorney POA is designated by your loved one and gives you the authority to

act and make decisions on their behalf, including managing and having access to their bank and other financial accounts. Authority continues if loved one becomes incapacitated (unless the POA expressly provides that it is terminated by the incapacity of the principal) and ends when power is revoked or loved one dies. Understanding your role as a trustee Authority is given once you are named as trustee or co-trustee of a revocable living trust. As a trustee your authority applies only to the property noted in the trust, authorizing you to protect, manage and distribute the trust’s assets as directed in the trust document. Authority continues after the death of the trust creator or grantor. Understanding your role as a federal benefits fiduciary A federal benefits fiduciary is ap-

pointed to accept and delegate federal government benefit payments, such as Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits, in the beneficiary’s best interest. Funds for the beneficiary are received through an account set up solely for this purpose. As a representative payee for Social Security benefits or a VA fiduciary for VA benefits, you are required to keep detailed records of all transactions related to the beneficiary and file annual reports detailing how benefits were used. The Caregiver Action Network (the National Family Caregivers Association) began promoting national recognition of family caregivers in 1994. President Clinton signed the first NFC Month Presidential Proclamation in 1997 and every president since has followed suit by issuing an annual proclamation recognizing and honoring family caregivers each November.

Secretary of Agriculture comments on Iowa crops Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. “The dry weather this past week has allowed farmers to make very good progress and harvest is now 52 percent complete for corn and 77 percent for beans,” Northey said. “It is also great to see an increasing number of fields turn green as we have seen good conditions for cover crop growth this fall.”

Race heats up for Supervisor Five candidates vie for Franklin County District 3 Supervisor COMPILED BY ETHAN STOETZER & ZACH CLEMENS Voters in Franklin County will head to the polls next Tuesday to cast their ballots in the Nov. 8 election. With two contested races for local of¿ces, most of the attention will focus on other races at the state and federal levels. All five candidates were approached to do interviews several weeks prior to this publication. These interviews have been consolidated for print. To see the entire interviews, checkout the videos online at hamptonchronicle.com. 1. How long you’ve lived in Franklin County? 2. Have you ever held elected of¿ce or been involved with any type of committee or board? If so, please list them. 3. What community involvement do you currently participate in? 4. What issues do you want to see addressed Franklin County? 5. What makes you the best candidate for supervisor? John Heilskov 1. I was born and raised in Franklin County. I graduated high school in 1973, went to college and came back to Franklin County in 2000. 2. I have been a trustee for the NIACC Board since 2002. 3. I am on the Main Street Hampton committee, Kiwanis member, and an have church involvement. 4. Economy and economic development, because the economy is what drives things. If we’ve got a robust economy in Franklin County, we’re going to have the funds we need to provide services the county provides. I know there’s roads that need work and the question is do we have the funds to do it? Economic development isn’t just trying to land big industry, its helping farmers in doing what makes them successful and helping our existing businesses. 5. I think it’s my background in my education and what I’ve done for the last 40 years. I’m a certified public accountant, I’m around numbers and finances all the time. As a tax adviser, one of the things I have to do, is I have to listen to my clients and work for data driven solutions to whatever their solution will be. I believe those skills transfer very well to what a supervisor needs to complete, as far as supervising, overseeing county government, making finance and budget decisions. Serving on the NIACC board is similar because we’re involved in policy and budgeting to keep NIACC growing.

Refer to full interview videos online at hamptonchronicle.com Susan Wulf-Flint 1. I have lived in Franklin County for 18 months. 2. I am a current member of the Franklin County Board of Health. 3. I am an ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Franklin County; member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Council — Chair of Board of Education; Secretary of the Healthy Harvest Board in North Central Iowa; Iowa Agri-women’s group; on the Iowa Living Roadways steering committee for Hampton; La Luz Hispana. 4. For me, I see two things: immigration is a point we need to look at, as a whole. Right now, there’s about an 11.2 percent Hispanic population in the county. That is something that is not going away. Over 50 percent of the children at the kindergarten level at Hampton-Dumont are Hispanic. Some of those people are illegal, there’s not much we can do about that, but how can we correct that? How can we get them to the point where they are actually legal, become tax paying citizens and enjoy benefits that we have as citizens? The second thing is taxes. We do not have a very big industrial base here to support our land tax base, so we need to be very aggressive and very prudent because if we lose our land base, we lose our services. 5. I’m coming at it with a fresh set of eyes. Number one, we’ve never had a woman. My region is a very rural region, we have Sheffield, which is a large community, but overall, of the eight townships, the majority is rural, and you’re going to see a lot of absentee landowners who are women. I spent three years living in Russia; I was the outsider there. I can relate to being the outsider: not knowing the language and dressing differently. I understand how it is to be not welcomed and we need tow welcome those people. I worked as a president of a company in Russia. We need to be transparent and work as a team.

Corey Eberling 1. I am a lifetime resident. 2. In 1994, I worked as an intern with Iowa Senator Charles Grassley (R). After that in 2000, I was elected as a Richland Township Trustee, and was re-elected in 2002; that’s grassroots government right there. In 2004, I was elected Franklin County Supervisor, and have been for the last 12 years. It’s an awesome experience. 3. I am a member of the Zion Reform Church. My Christian beliefs dictate that I treat everyone fairly and honestly. I’m never going to mislead people as afar as how things are. I also coach youth basketball and football. Being a supervisor isn’t just about being in a board room, it’s about being a leader in the community. My wife and I also have been youth group leaders. I’m always at as many community functions and fundraisers as possible. 4. There’s no doubt roads and bridges are the most challenging things facing Franklin County. It always has been. Since I’ve been on the board of supervisors, we’ve allocated the maximum dollars allowed by Iowa code, towards roads and bridges. We did do a project outside of that, with the wind farm, with a $16-$17 million infrastructure bond program. The state doesn’t like that, but we were saving 25 percent on these projects. We do contract out services that we may not have manpower for, that those contractors have that exper-

Ryan Rother 1. I have lived in Franklin County all my life. 2. I am the North Iowa Co-Op Board of Director; on the Franklin County Farm Bureau Board; and a Construction Company owner. 3. I sponsor Sheffield Pig Days and am a Girl Scout supporter. 4. The biggest issue that I feel, and the reason I’m running, is deteriorating roads and bridges; two: our snow removal; three: our personnel. We have personnel retiring and leaving and we don’t seem to be replacing them, and you can only stretch our workers so far before we have more start leaving. I just want to know why. Why have we had one-pass snow removal? Which makes it very hard for our school districts, that are so big, running busses down these secondary and primary roads. If there’s only one-pass removal on some of this stuff, they know they can’t send the busses out. We have a lot of roads, that a couple years ago, were closed. Some put to level B’s, we have a lot of bridges that have been embargoed, and that makes it difficult for farmers even to try and get his crops to town and getting to his fields. Our asphalt road are getting rough, our gravel roads, the base rock is wearing through — there’s a lot of issues. 5. There’s five of us running. We all have strong points and weaknesses. The best candidate is really the voters; they have to decide which one they thing is the best. After 16 years of being in the construction business, sitting on and dealing with farms of the North Iowa Co-Op and sitting on the Franklin County Farm Bureau, people want straight talk. They don’t want to hear statistics and long numbers. If they have a problem, they want to know if you have an answer you can tell them. I’ve learned to cut straight to the chase. You have to realize you can’t please everybody, you just got to please the majority.

tise. We do hire some seasonal help too, but people ask why we don’t hire more people — I agree we should hire more people, but the trade off is less product on the roads. 5. There’s three reasons: it would be my experience, my dedication and third would be education. I’ve been at this job for 12 years. I’m not saying I’m perfect or that I know it all. I can draw on those experiences. I also have looked through numerous Iowa codes as it pertains to Franklin County and what we have to do. Second, my dedication. You look at my attendance records at the board meetings, and the other boards I sit on. I’m at these meetings, I work tirelessly around the county. I have half the county in my territory. It requires my fulltime, not part-time attention. Third, I have a political science and economics degree. I’ve told people just because you have a four year degree doesn’t mean you know it all, but it helps you learn information and gives you a foundation. My political science degree helps me understand how the political process works and how I need to propose things like law changes. The second aspect is my economics degree, and I believe that’s my biggest asset to the county. Knowing how macro and micro economics impact the community helps in long term planning for projects and economic policy. In 2015, Franklin County had its credit rating upgraded, due to flexibility in our budgets and with our long term economic development.

Railroad fans of all ages visited the 5th Annual Model Train Show & Sale this Sunday. TRAVIS FISCHER/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Railroad show packs convention center BY TRAVIS FISCHER Things were chugging along at the Franklin County Convention Center on Sunday as railroad enthusiasts from across the region visited Hampton to attend the 5th Annual Model Train Show & Sale. Organized by the North Central Iowa Model Railroad Club, the show was packed with trains of all sizes for collectors of all ages as generations of railroad fans came to celebrate their hobby. “It’s probably the best we’ve ever had,” said club member Jim Hansen, who enjoyed seeing entire families visit the show to see the displays and shop for new pieces for their collection. “It’s been a good turnout.” The train show attracted more than 20 vendors from around the state, setting up over 100 tables in the convention center’s main hall. Positive word of mouth has led to

continuous growth for the show over the last five years, packing the building with tables of equipment and collectibles. “They just come from everywhere,” said Hansen. In fact, the success of the show has nearly outgrown the convention center. With shelves of merchandise and tables of displays filling the room, the railroad club has the welcome logistics challenge of figuring out where to put it all for next year’s show. “We’re gonna have to rearrange things here and make more room,” said Hansen. If the show continues to grow, the club may even have to expand, moving some of the event into a second building on the fairgrounds. “If the fair board has a place for us to go, we’d like to fill it,” said Hansen.

Operating from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the railroad show only spans a single Sunday, but preparations are a year-round endeavor for the railroad club. The 15 member club has a special committee dedicated to organizing the vendors, arranging advertisement, and making sure that space at the convention center is available. Because the schedules of the vendors can be extremely strict, changing the date can have a massive impact on the success of a show. The railroad club has booked the convention center for the last Sunday in October for years in advance. The show is partially funded by Franklin County Tourism and the railroad club works with the fair board, who serves food during the event. “They do an awfully good job,” said Hansen. “We really appreciate everybody that helps.”

Correction

COMPILED BY ETHAN STOETZER

It was incorrectly reported in last week’s issue in the Gran Festival article that “The fundraiser event is the primary source of income for La Luz Hispana, with 20 percent coming from their religious community (Sisters of the Presentation in Dubuque), family and friends.” The Sisters of the Presentation, family and friend actually provide 80 percent of the income through donations and the other 20 percent came from outside donors. For example from Hampton, organizations, etc. This is the reason it is imperative to have the fundraiser event of the Gran Festival every year. We can't always rely on the 80 percent from our Dubuque Sisters of the Presentation, family and friends. The Chronicle apologizes and regrets the error.

Both candidates were approached to do interviews several weeks prior to this publication. These interviews have been edited and consolidated for print. • Name: Linn Larson • Length in Franklin County: 10 years • Past law enforcement experience: I have been in law enforcement for 38 years of those years, 23 of them were spent as police chief in Belmond. I had full administrative duties there, including: handling of budgets, disciplinary action and the daily operations. I have been in Franklin County since 2006. In 2008, I was offered he chief deputy position and have held that since then. I am second in command and that position has responsibilities like running the office while the sheriff is gone or on Larson medical leave. • What is your agenda if elected sheriff: I want to move the agency from an oncall basis, to having 24 hour coverage. Since the sheriff has been on medical leave earlier this year, and I took over scheduling, I enacted a 24-hour schedule. We do have four-eight hours a week where we’re on call, but I want to move to a full 24-hour coverage. I would like to remove the sanctuary county status from Franklin County. Other issues the county faces are the methamphetamine use, domestic abuse issues — that we deal with almost weekly — and mental health problems. • How would you address Hispanics who receive licenses in other counties: We need an aggressive traffic enforcement program, making sure drivers have licenses, proof of registration and insurance. Those people will be discovered and it will be addressed then.

• Name: Rick Rieken • Length in Franklin County: Native born and raised. • Past law enforcement experience: In 1999, I spent a summer in McIntosh Wood State Park, with the DNR Parks Regulation and maintenance. I was a park ranger in Franklin County from 2002-04, and became a sheriff reserve deputy in 2002. I’ve work full time with the office since 2004. • What is your agenda if elected sheriff: I think we need to have a true, 24hour coverage, because right now we have gaps. I’d want the sheriff and chief deputy to share more shifts for fairness, in regards to holidays. Reiken I want to implement a criminal restitution for the office. When a criminal arrest happens in other counties, there is structured restitution where the criminal is billed directly for the officer’s time and the supplies used to apprehend the criminal. Instead of just the county funding our budget, this puts a little financial responsibility on the criminal that can aid in our funding. I want more inter and intra-communications with this department and other departments. I want to see more aggression in pursuing grants to fund our projects, as well as reaching out to local vendors for our bids. Lastly, I’d like to see more rural patrol and community policing. If we have more intensive communication with the public and can build relationships, we can build that inherent trust. • How would you address Hispanics who receive licenses in other counties: It’s no different than talking with anyone else. We need to make a conscious effort to speak and talk to them. Any time we’re amongst the people, working with them becomes easier. There are times when an individual just borrows a car. I think we need to participate in good, old fashioned police work. We need to talk with the driver, ask the proper questions, evaluate the information and make a decision based off that information.

PIGSKIN PONDERINGS

Tie goes to no one This is only the third time in NFL history since overtime was created that two games have ended in a tie during one season. Last week it was the Cardinals and Seahawks who gave us the first tie on national television on Sunday Night Football. Cincinnati and Washington were this week’s culprits, and they performed an exciting game with a missing final act that played out on international television during London Morning Football. I doubt a tie, which is not fun for anyone, is endearing the British to our American Football. We all know the NFL wants to move over the pond, but ties just don’t help anyone. Josh Norman, Washington’s cornerback who played elite for Carolina last year, did not have a memorable time in LonI doubt a tie, don. A.J.

We about the offiall know the cials after the NFL wants to game, singling move over the out field judge pond, but ties B r a d Fr e e just don’t help man, sayi ng anyone. he “sucked… was terrible” and “should be reprimanded.” Norman got flagged five times during the game, and instead of saying he didn’t play his best that day, he went into a tirade of specific calls he disagreed with on both sides of the ball. As fans, we feel comfortable complaining about officials, especially when the calls seem one-sided. We can justify our team playing terrible by saying it was the refs that screwed us. Yet it’s just not a good look to complain and blame officials when you are a player or coach. Losers whine about the officials, winners know a loss is a chance to get better, and those who tie, well, they are stuck in between. After losing two games in five days, residents of Broncos Country were getting slightly antsy. Now Denver has gutted out two victories in a row to stand at 6-2. After a dominating victory over the Texans and the $72 million former Broncos backup, they faced a Chargers team who easily beat them on a night when Denver both looked and played a bit too much like the Browns. As has been the usual for the past year and a half, the defense just refused to lose. Harassing and hitting Philip Rivers was key with two defensive stars—Aquib Talib and Brandon Marshall—sidelined with injuries. Talib’s replacement, Bradley Roby, started the turnovers by intercepting Rivers and returning it 49 yards for a defensive score. They would go on to get two more interceptions to go along with four sacks. Denver’s offense wasn’t much help, barely able to get anything going with Siemian not playing very well for much of the game, with 38 pass attempts for 276 yards and a pick. Denver was leading most of the game, so I don’t understand why we didn’t try harder to get Booker going earlier. It never seemed like the Broncos defense lost control of the game, even performing a four down goal line stand late in the fourth quarter and San Diego trailing by eight. Even with key starters missing on both sides of the ball, that defense is as good as ever. There is a huge game on Sunday night next week, with Denver visiting the black hole of Oakland, both teams are 6-2, and after years of Raider irrelevance, it seems the rivalry might be renewing.

Janesville lives up to No. 1 ranking BY SCOTT BIERLE JANESVILLE – That lofty No. 1 ranking was proven as Janesville swept the AGWSR volleyball team here Monday during a Class 1A, Region 5 quarterfinal match. The top-ranked Wildcats bombarded the Cougars with 46 kills and an impressive .363 kill efficiency to post a 25-18, 25-10, 25-15 post-season victory. Senior Gillian Gergen fueled the Wildcats’ attack with a match-high 18 kills on 19-of-22 hitting with a .682 kill efficiency. “I felt the girls came in with confidence and we had a good mindset,” said AGWSR co-head coach Betsy Harms. “We knew we had to be aggressive and we were in game one. When we struggled in games two and three we were not as aggressive. They have real good hitters and will take advantage when you give free balls.” The Cougars pounced early, scoring game one’s first two points, led 12-11 on an Alana Groninga service ace and again 13-12 on Mariah Jimmerson’s kill. The fun ended there as the Wildcats scored 11 of the next 12 points behind Gergen’s five kills to build a 23-14 cushion and eventually won the first set by seven. The second set was all Janesville as the hosts scored the first six points, led 10-2 and up 12-7, uncorked a 12-1 run to reach 24-8. AGWSR closed within five at the game’s mid-mark with a pair of blocks for Rachel Sicard and kills

for Groninga and Mandy Willems. The Cougars had moments in game three, but the Wildcats had many more. Back-to-back kills by Jimmerson and Sicard pulled AGWSR within 6-5 before Janesville pulled away, building leads of 12-5, 19-9 and 23-12. Bree Thompson drilled another 11 kills for the Wildcats with eight for Kennedy Meister. Alisa Bengen had 41 assists and 10 digs, and Lily Liekweg was 21-of-22 serving with two aces and 10 digs. For the Cougars, Jimmerson collected four kills with three for Groninga and Sicard. Groninga was 11-of-11 serving with three aces and had eight digs, Jimmerson was 5-of5 with two service aces and Sicard had three blocks. Groninga and Maddie Brandt were two of seven seniors to take the court a final time and were threeyear starters. “Alana and Maddie have been staples of the team for three years and will be missed,” said Harms. The loss closed the net campaign at 9-17 for the Cougars. Janesville improved to 30-8 with a 17-straight match victory, and played North Butler Thursday in a regional semi-final. The Wildcats are the defending 1A state champions and have been to the state show seven straight Fall seasons. Janesville met Algona Garrigan on Tuesday, Nov. 1 in the Region 5 final at Clarion.

BY SCOTT BIERLE ELKADER – An early high-paced scoring parade turned one-sided and vaulted Central Elkader to a 58-26 victory over the AGWSR football team during Eight-player first-round playoff action here Friday. After the two teams traded touchdowns on the game’s first four possessions, only the host Warriors continued the hectic scoring spree. Actually, seventh-ranked Central Elkader found the end zone on its first six possessions and owned a commanding 42-14 cushion with 1 minute, 34 seconds remaining before the break. “I would say there was one word that sums up our three losses – speed,” said AGWSR head coach James Koop. “We have the strength and size that can match any team. But they’re faster than us. We get to state track in the 400 and 800s, and they’re qualifying in the 100 and 200s. I have no problem with our effort, we always come and put it all out on the field, but speed is the difference.” The speedy and shifty Derek Ehrhardt sparked the Warriors as he had a hand in seven of the winner’s eight touchdowns – four passing and three rushing. Central Elkader amassed 497 yards of offense and the signal caller had 425 with 279 passing and 147 rushing. Previewing the post-season game Koop noted containing Ehrhadt was key. “He (Ehrhardt) is a phenomenal athlete,” he said. “Even if we had someone in the right spot, he could get by us.” Central Elkader opened the barrage of touchdowns with a four-yard flip from Ehrhardt to Nick Sylvester deep in the corner of the end zone just 2:03 into the first period. AGWSR countered with a nine-play drive – all on the ground and capped with Liam Stubbe finding running room off-tackle for a 37-yard dash. Both team’s twopoint rushes were good and were knotted 8-all. The Warriors quickly regained the lead on a threeplay march with Ehrhardt sprinting the final 31 yards.

He added the two-run run. The Cougars answered with an 11-play effort that ended with a one-yard blast for Mason Eilderts. The two-point conversion failed and AGWSR was down 1614 at the 1:25 mark in the first. The drive included an 11-yard run for quarterback Aaron Roelfs and a 12-yard pass from Roelfs to Stubbe. The game’s fifth TD of the opening period came with 0:17 showing with another scramble by Ehrhardt – this time good for 21 yards. The game’s first punt then came moments into the second quarter followed by what may have been the contest’s breaking point. After a 47-yard punt by Roelfs left the Warriors at their own four, Ehrhardt dropped back into the end zone on first down and rifled a deep pass to Sylvester, who snagged the pigskin at mid-field and raced to paydirt, capping a 76-yard pass play. Another two-point run for Ehrhardt and the hosts led, 30-14. Central Elkader added more six-pointers on the next two possessions with a 46-yard pass from Ehrhardt to Ted Hilgerson and then Ehrhardt bolted 11 yards. The two teams divided four touchdowns in the second half as Eilderts scored twice for AGWSR – first on a 66-yard kickoff return and then a five-yard run in the game’s closing minutes. For Elkader, Hilgerson blasted three yards and scored on a 23-yard pass from Ehrhardt. “They handled us really well at the line of scrimmage and that created a lot of problems,” said Koop. “If we can’t control the line of scrimmage the way we’re used to, it makes it tough on us.” The explosive Warriors wasted little time with the football as six of the eight scoring drives on the 80-yard field lasted four or fewer plays. Sylvester had 125 receiving yards on five catches with 83 yards on four grabs for Josh Cummer. Hilgerson added 50 rushing yards and was credited with 10 solo tackles and another 13 assists.

But IF-A/AGWSR sophomore Aubrie Fisher overcame that and reached a medal in Class 3A by finishing 11th in her second trip to the state cross country meet on Saturday, Oct. 29 with a personal best time. Fisher, who ran last year with teammate Bethany Lippert, out-did her best time yet by close to 20 seconds in running 19:24.3. “It felt really long, actually,” Fisher said. “Weird, because it was my best time; I don’t know, but it felt like I was out there forever.

the tank that I needed. I wanted to finish my season on a good note. I didn’t, but I gave it my all and I can’t complain. “I’m a little disappointed, but happy I made it again.” Both runners, with a chance to make a return trip in 2017, both want to do better. “Top 15 is my goal at state next year,” Teggatz said without hesitation. Fisher, meanwhile, who had plans to carve pumpkins in celebration for her medal finish, just wanted to improve. “I haven’t thought that far ahead yet,” Fisher said. “I want to do better and better.” Class 3A Individual Girls Result 11.

“I just tried to stay really positive. Last year, I was a freshman, and was nervous and I psyched myself out. It was hard not having anyone with me like Bethany. It was all my mentality, this year, I had a good mentality.” Fisher remained among the top 10-15 throughout the race. “That’s awesome,” Fisher said of earning a spot on the medal deck at Fort Dodge’s Lakeside Municipal Course. “It’s always been a dream of mine since last year. I was glad I could do it this year. It was my goal. I thought maybe top-30, but this was my goal.” Competing in Class 2A, Hampton-Dumont junior Patty Teggatz completed her race in 21:03.9, good for 51st overall out of 135 competitors. “Well, it was definitely not my best race,” Teggatz said. “I was hoping to at least be in the mid-20s (finish-wise).

ƒ Top-ranked Hansen sustains injury, pulls out of 1A final

BY KRISTI NIXON FORT DODGE – Pulling a tendon in his foot early in the state race at Fort Dodge, West Fork senior Jake Hansen, who was the top-ranked runner in Class 1A all season long, was forced to exit the field. The injury incurred early, according to Hansen, about 1K into the 5K race on Saturday, Oct. 29. “I was rounding a corner and hit a hard dip in the ground but as I kept running, the tendon around the inside of my foot up to my heel ached and when I could barely make my way up the hills on the back side, I pulled out,” Hansen said. “The trainers said it was probably a pulled tendon, must have twisted wrong on the dip.” When he left the race, he had only recently made a pass and was running third. “I’m disappointed my senior cross country season had to end like this,” Hansen said, “but overall I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in high school. It’ll definitely be added motivation for wrestling season and track next spring.” West Fork coach Mark Twedt added, “With Jacob, I hate that. When that...happens. He’s worked way too hard to get this fate today, but like I told him, if this is the worst thing that happens to him in his life, he’s still doing pretty good. “In perspective, he’s got more fish to fry and his college career, too. It sucks that this happened.” Inconsolable after the meet, Hansen still had plans to run in the Senior All-Star meet at Ankeny on Saturday, Nov. 5 even though he also said he wouldn’t be able to run for at least three days. “I’ve coached Jacob for six years and the whole goal was to get to this; and he did it three years as an allstater which is unbelievable for a boy. He’ll be fine, he’ll turn the corner.” Without Hansen, the boys finished 13th in the 15-team field as did the girls’ team. The top finish for the boys was Zach Martinek, who crossed the line in 18 minutes, 8.7 seconds. He was 41st in team scoring. Rounding out team scoring for the Warhawks were Conner Schulz (50 th), Josh Stevens (58th), Jonah Van Horne (77th) and Brett Barkema (92nd). “We had some younger kids step up,” Twedt said. “We had three in the top five. Losing Jacob and Josh is going to hurt, just because Josh no doubt is the leader of the team. He took the role. It’s another year, you just keep going. You lose good kids, hope you get good kids back and we go from there. “You can’t rate the season on one meet. Overall, we’ve come a long ways. I’m still just as happy. You

BACK-TO-BACK FOR WEAVER BY KRISTI NIXON FORT DODGE – With about 1 kilometer to go, West Fork’s Kenna Weaver was out of medal contention. She was running with noticeable pain, grabbing her side as she went. But when Weaver reached the bridge at Fort Dodge’s Lakeside Municipal Golf Course, that is when she kicked it in. “Right after that bridge, coach always practices the last 1K, saying, ‘you do the passing, no one passes you,’” Weaver said. “I was 18th or 20th at that time, it was the last 800 is when I really went. “I don’t really know (what it was). I couldn’t get it under control. It was just a common side ache that runners (sometimes) get. I deal with it and pulled out of it toward the end. It was tough.” With the late kick, Weaver finished 10th overall in the 143-runner field and fifth in team scoring to pace West Fork to a 13th-place team finish among 15.

West Fork coach Mark Twedt said he knows Weaver, a sophomore and two-time place winner, can do better. “She was way back,” Twedt said. “She can’t do that when it really counts and we’ve talked about this. I mean, she ended up getting all-state, 10th, better than she did last year; but I think the one thing she can learn is she needs to work harder than she does. “Honestly, she gets by on a lot of talent and that’s bottom line.” She clocked in at 20 minutes, 22.6 seconds, passing two quality runners right at the finish line for top-10, which is exactly what Weaver said was her goal. “I will move up last year, little by little,” Weaver said. “My time, I wasn’t happy, but 10th is 10th and I’ll take it. I’ll work this summer and come back next year.” Included in team scoring is threetime qualifier Talia Rowe (30 th), Maddison Shupe (61st), Miranda Dixon (82nd) and Kennedy Maske (90th). “Both of our teams finished 13th,” Twedt said. “If you asked me two weeks ago if I would have taken both of our teams making it and finishing 13th, I would have said, ‘yeah!’ It means we got here. “This year, it was really important for both teams to get here. It’s different than it was in the past.

Then it was more like, ‘okay, let’s get through districts to get to state.’ This year, it was ‘we need to grow to get to state.’ I think we have a lot of young kids with good experience this year.” Six of the seven runners who competed for the Warhawks should return in 2017. The lone graduate is Shupe. Earlier in the season, Shupe’s foot was in a boot, which Twedt pointed out had never entirely healed despite her competing in two Fall sports. “Shupe had been running hurt,” Twedt said. “Last year, you tell me her foot is hurt and she isn’t going to be able to run as well and all the young kids coming up, for us to finish at state, we didn’t do too badly.”

This week’s race is the eighth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and second race of the Eliminator Round. There’s an old adage in the Lone Star State: “Everything is bigger in Texas.” One of the country’s largest sports crowds will descend this weekend on the Texas Motor Speedway for the AAA Texas 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. This is one of the ﬁnest NASCAR facilities on the circuit. It is a 1.5 mile quad-oval with a controversial dual banking setup of 5 and 24 degrees. Additional facilities include a 1/5-mile short oval and a 4/10-mile clay oval. The track was completed in 1997, and has been used for NASCAR and Indy Racing League events. It currently seats 155,000 fans and has 194 VIP skybox suites.

Mr. Martinsville is back and with him, a realistic shot at a recordtying NASCAR Cup championship. Winless at the .526-mile short track since the spring race of 2013, Jimmie Johnson ended his “drought” on Sunday with a victory in the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 and earned a berth in the Championship race, set for Nov. 20 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In winning for the ninth time at Martinsville, the fourth time this season and the 79th time in his career, Johnson didn’t take the lead until he passed Denny Hamlin on Lap 409 of 500. Johnson ﬁnished 1.291 seconds ahead of charging Brad Keselowski, who ﬁnished second. Johnson said Friday he has been trying to avoid thoughts of a possible seventh title that would tie him for the all-time lead with icons Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.

he year’s Election cycle I think has been the ugliest thing this side of armed conflict that our country has ever faced. We’ve all watched the rancor and bitterness of this election reach new highs (and new lows). We’ve seen that spirit of divisiveness seep into our communities, our neighborhoods, even our churches. I think that this year, more than any other year in our history, we need to remind ourselves where our true hope is found. We need to participate in holy acts of union and reconciliation. We need to declare our allegiance to Jesus, the prince of peace. On November 8, 2016, Election Day, we will exercise our right to choose. Some of us will choose to vote for Donald Trump, some of us will choose to vote for Hillary Clinton, some of us will choose to vote for another candidate, and some of us will choose not to vote at all. In either case, no choice of candidate, whoever they may be, will be our true King.

Bob Jensen, a native of Sheffield, has recently been selected to be inducted into the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisc. Pictured here, Jensen shows off a bluegill he caught in September, 2015. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Sheffield native selected for Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame Bob Jensen, founder of Fishing the Midwest, has recently been selected for 2017 induction to the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame. He will join over 300 individuals and organizations that have been inducted and enshrined to the Hall of Fame since 1980. A native of Sheffield, Bob Jensen, began fishing as a young boy and started his career in the fishing industry as a camp fish instructor in northern Minnesota. He was also a guide and tournament angler in his early years. From those roots, he went on to a career as a television and radio show host, noted outdoor writer and popular fishing seminar presenter. “I’m truly honored to be inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame,” Jensen said when asked about his upcoming induction. “I’m so fortunate to have been able to fish and explore so many waters across the Midwest. The biggest reward to my career in the fishing/marine industry though, is the opportunity I’ve had to work with so many really good people. It’s the people that have made the past 30 plus years so enjoyable.” Some of highlights of Jensen’s career include: • Co-author of four top-selling books on walleye fishing. • Author of fishing columns and “how to” fishing articles that have been published over 150,000 times in general circulation newspapers and outdoor magazines. • Produced and hosted over 300 full-length fishing television shows. These shows appeared on network affiliates and cable carriers throughout the Midwest. In many markets, Fishing the Midwest continues to be

We conduct and maintain a program for qualifying, compiling and publishing all fresh water sport fishing records. The Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame maintains a library that disseminates information and acts as the clearinghouse for historical and contemporary publications for the fresh water sport fishing industry.

the highest rated outdoor show in that market. • Written and hosted The Outdoor Minute radio show, which airs 50 times a week in Jensen’s home state of Iowa and has been on the air, in various forms, for 12 years. • Presented nearly 1,000 fishing seminars at sport shows and other outdoor events during his career. • Co-founder of the largest and longest running walleye tournament in Iowa.

• In 2014, Jensen was joined by longtime Minnesota fishing guide and fishing educator, Mike Frisch, in co-hosting Fishing the Midwest. The show continues to be one of the leaders in fishing education. It has been the recipient of approximately 30 awards for Excellence in Outdoor Programming presented by various outdoor organizations.

No matter who we vote for, we need to remember this:

Your Trusted Healthcare Partner for Life

The ballot booth is important, but the Lord’s table is more important. At the ballot booth we divide, but at the Lord’s table we unite. On Election day, let’s decide to be united. On that evening while our nation turns its attention to the outcome of the presidential election, let’s choose differently, and let’s do it together.

Caring providers here for your family

Let’s meet at the table with the Body and Blood of Jesus and remind ourselves who our true King is. We’ll remember that real power in this world—the power to save, to transform, to change—ultimately rests not in political parties or presidents or protests but in the life, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus. We’ll remember that the only Christian nation in this world is the Church, a holy nation that crosses all human-made boundaries and borders. We’ll remember that we do not conform to the patterns of this world, but we are transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Keith Hansen, DO

So we will slow down, share emblems together, pray, and reflect, and most importantly; we’ll remember the body of Christ as the body of Christ, His Church, confessing the ways in which partisan politics has separated us from one another and from God.

Toni L. Lauffer, DO

It’s a reminder that regardless of the seemingly-important outcome, that that outcome isn’t the most important thing. It’s a reminder that regardless of our disagreements on partisan politics, we are still to unite around something more important than politics. It’s a reminder to us most importantly, that regardless of who wins, that Jesus is still King. Love God, Love Others, Love PERIOD. Pastor Gary Davis, Hampton Church of Christ

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: Water temperature is around 52 degrees. The fish cleaning station at McIntosh is closed for the season. The bathrooms at Ventura Access and the Ventura Jetties are also closed. The courtesy docks at Main Street, McIntosh and Ventura boat ramps have been removed. The State fishing dock and the courtesy dock at the south shore access are still in but will be removed any day. Yellow bass, good. Action has been good 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, fair. Some walleyes are being caught near the Ventura grade. Use a jig and minnow or cut bait in many of the same areas that yellow bass are biting. Boat anglers may find walleyes near the Hy-Vee reef, the edge of the North Shore Reed bed, the island or Dodges point. Black crappie, fair. Anglers have caught a few in the Baptist camp area out near 10 contour. Muskellunge, fair. Musky fishing has been decent. October is usually a good month for musky fishing. Yellow perch, fair. Yellow perch are hitting by the grade on 1/16 ounce black leadhead with a piece of cut bait or crawler. Rice Lake: Fishing has been good; best bite is right at dusk or dawn due to the clear water. Walleye, good. Anglers have occasionally caught limits of walleyes measuring 14-17 inches. Fishing has been best near the deeper water and shoreline off the Park point. Yellow perch, good. Anglers are catching eight to 12.5 inch perch on minnows or cut bait.

O ELECTIO

The Hampton United Methodist Church began an after school reading program. The program evolved out of a challenge by the former Bishop of the Iowa Conference of the United Methodist Church; Bishop Trimble challenged each church in the conference to develop a reading program in their community. Sue Kromminga, director of discipleship has taken the lead role in the program, promoting volunteers from the church to devote time on Wednesday afternoons to spend with children at the South Side Elementary School. Time is scheduled for an adult to read from a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; book as the children arrive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The children are encouraged to bring their book boxes or bags with them as we include time for them to read to the volunteers from the books that have been assigned to them through the school,â&#x20AC;? Kromminga said. The program runs from 2-4 p.m. Time for recreation and snacks are also included in the afternoon. Children First has been up and running since the first week in October, with children from the Hampton United Methodist Church participating. At this time they are ready to expand the program, looking for additional children to join them. If you have a child that could use help with their reading, one who loves to read or a child who falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, Kromminga and the volunteers would love to have them join the group. Call the Hampton United Methodist Church office to enroll your child (641) 456-4238. There is a limit of 20 children. Call and enroll your child(ren) today and join them at South Side Elementary School for a fun time reading.

Make Election Day go smoothly Election Day gives voters throughout the United States a chance to participate in their government. The right to vote is something to cherish, as many people across the globe do not get a chance to elect the officials who govern their countries. While Election Day is an exciting time, voters may find it frustrating if they do not take steps to ensure things go smoothly when they head to the polls. The following tips can help voters prepare for Election Day. Polling locations may have changed since last year and voters who have moved in the past 2 months may now have to vote in a new location. oters can contact their local board of elections to confirm the correct polling locations. oters should also learn the hours when the polls are open as well. oter identification laws vary by state but voters who want to avoid hassles or holdups may be able to do so by bring ing current photo identification with them to the polling place. oters can confirm that they have registered to vote by contacting their local board of elections in advance of Election Day. Sometimes voters names may not ap pear on the registration list when they arrive to vote even if they previously registered. Poll workers can help voters who find themselves in such situations. But voters who want to avoid such has sles on Election Day can confirm their registration beforehand. oting is a privilege and a responsibility so voters should familiari e themselves with the candidates and issues on the ballot in the weeks leading up to Election Day. n addition to national or statewide can didates and issues voters should learn about local issues that may have a more direct impact on their daily lives. Voting on Election Day is a privilege that voters should not take lightly. Taking certain steps in the weeks ahead of Election Day can make it easier for voters to cast their ballots.

FAMILY FEATURES

hen the pace of family life gets busy, it seems easier than ever to forgo healthy eating plans, and the hectic autumn season is a big culprit. However, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to compromise flavor for nutrition when turning to convenient options that fit your busy lifestyle. On average, Americans are only meeting the U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MyPlate recommendations for servings of vegetables, fruit, proteins, dairy and grains a mere seven days out of 365. Despite their best intentions to eat more healthy meals, many families need inspiration and simple solutions so they can make better eating choices a reality more often.Â Using educational tools like NestlĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Balance Your Plate program, you can put together delicious and nutritious meals that incorporate both frozen and fresh foods. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprisingly simple to take a mindful approach, even for a fun and tasty option like pizza. Using the nutrition facts on the packaging, determine your serving size and then add a simple and nutritious side dish. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one way to pair a frozen pizza with a fresh side dish: Start with a delicious, DIGIORNO pizzeria! thin crust pizza, like primo pepperoni, which includes 100 percent real cheese and premium meats. Then, round out your meal with a simple side dish recipe focused on vegetables, such as this Chili Lime Butternut Squash or Caul-Slaw.

Go-to gadgets for tech savvy seniors In a world of smartphones, blazing fast internet, self-driving cars, and Amazon delivery drones, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very easy to be a little overwhelmed. In the face of all of this innovation however, seniors are defying the stereotypes and breaking through as one of the fastest growing new technology users on the market. Recent Studies have shown that some of the fastest growing groups joining Facebook are seniors. With all of these innovations, it can be hard to find the ones that are most useful to our day to day lives. Luckily a number of products are coming out that can give seniors more independence or even just more time to enjoy their retirement. A smart option for those who find themselves busy well after retirement is a programmable slow cooker. Users can simply fill the slow cooker with ingredients, set the time and temperature then walk away while it cooks. Some even use

phone apps to change time, temperature, and notify users when their meal is ready. Other options include sleep

tracking beds that monitor body temperature, breathing, blood pressure, and movement. All of which can help improve sleep quality, and help doctors find any potential sleep problems such as sleep apnea. In the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many believed that the automated home and the introduction of domestic robots would revolutionize the way we think about chores. While we still have many things we must do to keep homes clean, innovations such as the iRobot Roomba allow us to cross a few off the list. The Roomba is a small, robotic vacuum cleaner that can be programed to clean floors overnight of while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away from home. Sensors on the Roomba help to keep it from running into or over obstacles, and over time, it learns the layout of rooms to make cleaning faster. As technology advances, we can expect more innovations to come about to help us ease the burdens of our daily lives. Especially as we age. While we may not live in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;World of Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;? proposed by Disney and others, but there is definitely no better time (technologically speaking) to be alive.

Decked out with a rainbow wig and skeleton mask, this unfortunate clown was captured by a local. He is now chained in a cage, and being toted around Hampton in the back of this pickup truck.
