Boehmler announces candidacy for Hampton mayor By Jeff Forward Brook Boehmler, the former executive director of the Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, announced on Aug. 10 his candidacy for Hampton mayor during a brief speech at Summerfest. Boehmler was honored at Summerfest for his work during his four years as executive director of the chamber and then he annouced to a cheering crowd his intention to run for Hampton mayor. A video of the speech is viewable on Boehmler’s

YouTube page. Things moved fast in the week since his announcment, as Boehmler has been seeking endorsements from local residents, is planning on moving into Hampton city limits, and has started setting up a campaign Web site and Facebook page. “I hadn’t thought about running until Shawn (Dietz) wasn’t going to seek re-election,� Boehmler said in a telephone interview on Aug. 15. “I had talked to the mayor and numerous people. I’d been contact-

ed by quite a few people about why wouldn’t I run for mayor, and why I shouldn’t run for mayor. The decision, it wasn’t taken lightly.� Boehmler said he feels a call to duty to serve the community in a leadership capacity, something he’d like to see from more people in the community. “A lot of things are going on. Someone needs to serve the community and I think I’ve served the community and I want to to continue to serve the community,� Boehmler

said. “It’s not a salaried position like the chamber; it’s a lot of meetings DQG HYHQLQJV ,WÂśV QRW DQ HLJKW WR ÂżYH job, but it’s a commitment.â€? Boehmler stressed that for Hampton to be a successful community on all fronts, the city needs citizens to VWHS XS ZLWK WLPH DQG ÂżQDQFLDO DVsets, as well as volunteering to be in leadership roles. “How do you exist without people participating in city council or church boards,â€? he said. “We cannot go backwards.â€?

Yes, it’s a little bit more of a hassle, but it’s worth it.� Also new this year is a change to the daily schedule for all schools in the district – beginning 15 minutes earlier and ending 15 minutes earlier. The changes mean students will begin classes between 8:10 and 8:15 a.m. and end school between 3:10 and 3:15 p.m. “We’re just trying to protect the instructional day,� Lettow said of the timing change. “This way, there is

By Jeff Forward The Hampton City Council had another light workshop meeting Monday night, with only four topics on the agenda and the issue of holding a dog swim at the city aquatic center dominating the night. The idea of holding a session where citizens could bring their dogs to the pool and go swimming was brought up at an earlier council meeting by Council Member Valerie Haugebak, who is a self-admitted dog lover. City Public Works Director Doug Tarr investigated what other cities do in regard to a dog swim event and prepared a packet of procedures and possible rules for the council members present. There was a lot of discussion about the event, from what to charge for entrance – if anything – and whether or not on-site dog licensing could be done.

Students head back to school; numerous changes in store for Hampton-Dumont By Jeff Forward Students headed back to School Monday at Hampton-Dumont middle school and high school, beginning a fresh school year where a few new changes will go into effect. Elementary schools began classes on Tuesday. New this year for all students is an earlier start time to classes as well as an earlier ending of the school day. Additionally, students will see enhanced security at Southside Elementary School – where a camerabuzz-in system has been installed –

and plenty of new teachers. Todd Lettow, superintendent of the Hampton-Dumont Community School District, said he is excited about the beginning of another school year and he feels there are a lot of positives headed into 2013-14 academic schedule. “Being a teacher at heart, I look forward to seeing the kids come back,� Lettow said of the new school year. Lettow took time from his busy schedule prior to the start of classes to discuss many of the new changes

with the Chronicle. One change students and parents will see at Southside Elementary School is the new security entrance. The new set-up features a security camera that allows the school secretary to see potential visitors before buzzing them into the school where they will check in with a staffer. The only entrance into the elementary school now will be via the front, main entrance. “It’s just to monitor who is in the building,� Lettow said of the new system. “It’s a safety thing. I think

Lukensmeyer said. “The growth I’ve seen in the council chambers is inspiring. I’ve had many citizens comment to me how happy they are with the openness of the chambers.â€? Lukensmeyer, who is a local businessman, was elected in 2009,

beginning his term in January 2010. He said he is proud of all the accomplishments the community has achieved in the past several years, projects such as the city aquatic center, the Band Shell renovations, and the cemetery fence. But, Lukensmeyer said, he feels there is much more that the community can do for Hampton’s betterment and that he wants to see more citizens involved in more ways. “When we work together as a community, we get things done,� he said. “We need it to be a bigger percentage of people helping.� “Some things, the city has to be responsible for,� Lukensmeyer addLukensmeyer: See Page 13

A little bit for everyone at TownsEnd wine festival Labor Day weekend By Nick Pedley Sometimes it’s hard for the Harper family to relax and enjoy the fruits of their labor this time of the year at TownsEnd Winery in Hansell. “People say, ‘It must be so much fun being able drink wine whenever you feel like!’ But honestly, we’re usually too tired by the end of the day,� said Shelley Glenzinski, daughter of winery owners Vernon and Judy Harper.

The family-run operation has been buzzing with activity recently in preparation for its annual wine release festival August 31-September 1. This year’s celebration will be WKH EXVLQHVVœV ¿IWK ZLQH XQYHLOLQJ since they opened in 2009, and the Harpers are excited for a great turnout. Numerous events are scheduled for the weekend including free wine tasting, an arts and craft show fea-

turing Iowa vendors, live music and much more. “It’s a wine release, but really it’s a way for us to show our customers, friends and neighbors how much we appreciate their help and business,� said Judy. Four music acts are slated to take the winery’s outdoor stage. Tonic Sol-Fa, Scott Cooper, Highway Home and Two Juhls and a Gem will offer festival-goers a varied listening experience throughout the weekend. Judy said they’ve always brought in live music for the event, and explained the addition of the outdoor stage has helped expand on that. “Highway Home, they don’t have to come here. We’re a little small for them, but I think they enjoy the venue and event, so they come back,� Judy said. The family expects between 600 to 1,000 people to show up throughout the weekend. Though its focus is on wine, the celebration is a family-oriented event. Scheduled are kids games, a bean bag toss tournament and a grape stomp. Participants get the opportunity to kick off their shoes and crush grapes with their bare feet to make

juice. “We try to have something here for everyone,� said Judy. “It’s surprising how many people want to do the stomp. It’s just kind of a fun thing to do.� Both Judy and Glenzinkski were excited for the arts and crafts show as well. They said numerous artists from throughout the state would be on hand to showcase their paintings, sculptures, metalwork and glasswork. Additionally, various food vendors, including the ever-popular fried pie maker, will be on hand. “I can’t eat wheat products, but everyone tells me how delicious those pies are,� said Glenzinski. “My brother doesn’t even like pies, but he always raves about those.� With all the other events taking place that weekend, Judy said sometimes it’s easy to forget what the celebration is all about—the wine. Towns End usually has 12-15 types of wine available, and the festival gives the business an opportunity to showcase last year’s wines that have just now matured and become ready for customers. “Last year’s harvest was great and produced a lot of sweet grapes,

which makes for better wine,� said Glenzinski. “We’re really happy with 2012’s product.� TownsEnd will be unveiling a new wine at the festival in addition to their usual selection. “It’s called Summer Nights and it’s a blended wine. But that’s all we’re saying until the release,� said Judy. The festival is held to showcase TownsEnd’s products, but the family also explained that it’s a celebration of all things local. “I think there’s two things that set us apart from most other wineries throughout the state,� said Glenzinski. “One, we’re using 96 percent of our own fruits grown here in our vineyards. Two, we have a committment to our community and try to support our local businesses—we support people that support us. To me, that’s what makes us different.�

Franklin County’s finest represent at the State Fair By Jeff Forward Franklin County was well-represented at the 2013 Iowa State Fair, as dozens of children exhibited everything from farm animals to craft projects and others – like Franklin County Fair Queen Haley Hansen – got to show Iowa – and visitors from all over the world – their talents. Hansen – who won the Franklin County Fair Queen title at the local fair in July – was one of 102 queens at the state fair representing county fairs and agricultural celebrations held across the state. Hansen went to Des Moines to take part in the traditional State Fair queen activities from Aug. 6 through Aug. 10, with the festivities being

capped off on Saturday, Aug. 10 with the coronation of the State Fair queen. Hansen said the experience was a great one, where she met new friends, reconnected with old ones, and got to experience one of the greatest state fairs in the country. “We were in the state fair parade, then we went to the Iowa Hall of Fame,� Hansen said. “At the fair, we just walked around.� “It was a great experience. I met a lot of new people,� Hansen added. “It was nice to meet girls from all over the state.� The 102 queens took part in all sorts of fun activities, Hansen said, including visiting the famous butter cow – accompanied this year by a butter Abraham Lincoln – as well as riding down the giant slide in their dresses. “That was really fun,� Hansen said of the slide experience. “We all held hands and went down in groups.� As for the famed butter cow, Han-

sen said she sees that every year so it wasn’t a big surprise to encounter the life-sized replica of a bovine made of chilled butter. One aspect of the state fair which makes it so fun is the food, and Hansen said she had her share of fair treats. “I tried the deep-fat fried Oreo,â€? she said with a grin. “It was all right; it was kind of gross.â€? Hansen said all the queens also got a free meal at Cattleman’s – where she opted for a cheeseburger. :KHQ LW FDPH WLPH IRU WKH RIÂżFLDO competition, Hansen said it was a multi-part process. Once on stage, the queens were questioned by judges in three segments – group interviews with up to eight queens per group – a single interview and then a separate one-minute interview. Hansen said in addition to the questions and interviews, candidates had to tell the judges and crowd one thing about their home county that was a big positive – she said Sukup Manufacturing and the impact they’ve had on agriculture.

The overall experience of running for Franklin County queen and then representing the county at the state fair was a good one, despite not taking home the crown at the Aug. 10 coronation. “I liked running for Franklin County Fair Queen,� Hansen said. “A lot of county fairs are small. Ours is pretty good compared to the others.� Other locals at the state fair included a trio of 12-year-olds – Trinity Shirk, Jayde Wikert, and Ashlynn Klein – all of Hampton – who competed in the Bill Riley Talent Search. The trio performed their signature “clog dance� in the competition. Another competitor from the Franklin County Fair queen event also was at the state fair – this time for singing. Jessica Buchanan, who won Miss Photogenic at the county fair – performed a vocal solo at the Bill Riley Talent Search on Aug. 14. On the livestock front, Tall Corn FFA member Kellen Suntken, of Latimer, garnered the Reserve Champion Maine-Anjou Heifer title on Aug. 10.

Lettow said the new group of teachers has come in prepared as best as they can be, in part because they understand the core subject matter required by the state of Iowa; but also because universities are doing a good job educating new teachers.

It’s valuable in how we assess kids’ learning.� Highlighting the continued development of the new PLC program, Lettow said the district will be getting a special three-day visit from Daniel R. Venables, the author of the instructional manual, “The Practice of Authentic PLCs.� Lettow said Venables will be in Hampton for three days, from Sept. 18 through Sept. 20, during which time he will spend two days with the PLC group leaders before having an entire one-day seminar with all 106 district teachers on Sept. 20 when classes are not in session. “This will be new, so we’re excited,� Lettow said. “We’re really excited about this. It’s an opportunity that doesn’t come along to districts often.�

Boehmler also said if elected, he will continue to work closely and develop relationships with the chamber of commerce as well as the Franklin County Economic Development Association, led by Karen Mitchell. “Karen’s done a great job,� Boehmler said. “I think they’ve done some phenomenal things.� Boehmler is well known in Franklin County for his role as executive director for the chamber of commerce, a position he held from March 2009 through June 2013. When he retired from the chamber position, citing a need to spend more time with his family, Boehmler was recognized as having done a great job in his role with the chamber by many. Among the projects credited to Boehmler, were the Wine Walk, Holly Dazzle, and the growth of Summerfest. A native of Missouri, Boehmler relocated to Franklin County where he has relatives and family roots. He is married to his wife, Carol, who is a postal carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Hampton.

City Council: From Page 1 Council Member Jim Davies asked Tarr if an unlicensed dog could participate in the swim event; and Davies also suggested that maybe the city could do dog registrations on site. After some back and forth on that segment, City Manager Ron Dunt seemed to put a damper on the idea of on-site dog registrations due to the the usual governmental red tape. “Registering an animal takes longer than you think,� Dunt noted. “It doesn’t take two minutes. I don’t know if registering at the aquatic center that night is something we want to do.� As for the date and time of the event, Pool Manager Bradley Waddle said he is in favor of the last

night of the season – Sept. 2 - from possibly 5-7 p.m. Waddle – who had said at another city council meeting he would not let his lifeguards rescue an in-distress dog due to safety concerns, said Monday night that he wants to do everything possible to make the event successful.

Rolling Prairie Trail gets funding boost to renovate bridges By Nick Pedley Franklin County’s Rolling Prairie Trail will continue its eastward expansion following the recent acquisition of a federal grant. The $151,997 grant was made available to the Franklin County Conservation Department to renovate two bridges on the recreational trail that lies between Hampton and Hansell. According to Conservation Department Director Jason Gooder, the two bridges will be widened to accommodate bikers and the snowmobile trail groomer. The bridges currently measure 8 feet wide, but will be expanded to 12 feet once the project is completed. “We’re hoping to get started this fall. Right now we’re just going through some of the administration work and tying up some loose ends,â€? Gooder said. “Hopefully we’ll have LW ÂżQLVKHG E\ ODWH VSULQJ ´ Gooder explained that conservation department workers will install premanufactured structures over top of the existing bridge. One bridge is 200 feet long and the other is 100 feet in length, so the project will take a considerable amount of time. “We’ve had them inspected by DQ RXWVLGH HQJLQHHULQJ ÂżUP DQG WKH EULGJHV DUH ÂżQH IURP D VWUXFWXUDO standpoint,â€? said Gooder. “The surfaces are what needs the work.â€? The bridge renovations are another step towards completing the Rolling Prairie Trail project that began in 2011. After the two bridges are widened, an additional 4.5 miles will be added to the trail from Hampton to Hansell. However, the department has no plans on stopping there.

Chronicle Editorial

Trail’s expansion and progress promising Recent progress on the Rolling Prairie Trail has been a refreshing development that promises to pay dividends for Hampton and Franklin County in the years to come. A $151,997 grant was awarded to the county’s conservation department from the Transportation Alternatives Program funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Two bridges between Hampton and Hansell will be widened with the money, and 4.5 miles of new trail will be opened upon the project’s completion. The local conservation department is currently preparing the path to extend past Hansell to the Franklin/Butler County border, bringing the trail’s total length to over 20 miles. The project has been an extensive committment that wasn’t easy by any means. A bike trail like Rolling Prairie takes a cooperative community effort that often requires great time and negotiation. People must agree to sell small portions of their property to construct the paths, and it’s wonderful to see the fruits of the county’s labor start paying off. The conservation department’s hard work and dedication shouldn’t go unnoticed, either. There’s a lot of factors that go into trail creation and upkeep, and writing extensive grant applications or braving mosquito-infested weed thickets aren’t things most of us would enjoy. 7KHUHœV QXPHURXV EHQH¿WV LQ KDYLQJ D WUDLO V\VWHP like Rolling Prairie.

Having a groomed path creates more opportunity to attract tourists from throughout the area. Cyclists and snowmobilers are well known to make trips to desirable locations to take a morning spin or go on an afternoon cruise. They come for a ride, visit downtown and spend a few extra bucks in the local economy. Even though these visitors may only be here for a day, they’re still talking about Franklin County in a positive light, which is always good. Finally, the Rolling Prairie Trail is a fantastic way to utilize an otherwise useless resource. Abandoned railroads are prevalent throughout Iowa, and putting them to use in the name of recreation seems to be the only logical step once they get vacated.

A new football season is just around the corner, the playoff race for baseball is heating up and other sports are starting to get some buzz.

After several lean years, basic state aid to local schools was increased by 4 percent this year, and another 4 percent for the next school year.

In the fall of 1969, Bristol Motor Speedway was reshaped and re-measured. The turns were banked at 36 degrees and it became a 0.533-mile oval, or the “World’s Fastest Half Mile�. Improvements continued, bringing its current seating capacity to 160,000. The concrete racing surface is 40 feet wide with straightaways 650 feet long. “Racin’ the way it ought’a be� is the slogan that this raceway uses because it is the shortest track with the highest banking which makes for exciting racing. In a series of national polls, Bristol’s August night race ranked ahead of the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis as the overwhelming fan favorite.
