City council discusses snowmobiles, impoundment issues at workshop

By Jeff Forward The Hampton City Council had a somewhat meaty workshop agenda on Monday evening, with seven items up for discussion including the city’s policy on snowmobiles in town, options for impounding vehicles for traffic violations and a dog swimming day at the city aquatic center. Although it came at the end of the meeting, the four council members present – Jim Davies and Steve Harms were not in attendance - and several people in the audience shared empassioned views on the issue of snowmobiles in town. The discussion of snowmobiles in town began several weeks ago when citizen Shirley Smith complained to the council about snowmobile riders damaging her property. Mayor Shawn Dietz asked city officials to meet with interested parties to develop a game plan for snowmobiles in the city. On Monday, Police Chief Bob Schaefer told the council that he does not want an outright ban on snowmobiles in town, but is in favor of limiting the areas where they can operate. “My initial thought is not to have snowmobiles on city streets,” Schaefer said. “It’s just tough to go in and enforce, that’s why my initial reaction was not to have them in city limits.” After several minutes of discussion, the council decided they would examine the issue further into the winter season in the event problems arose. City council members also heard from City Attorney Michael Cross about possible options to impound vehicles for traffic offenses. Cross told the council members that various state and federal laws prohibited or limited the ability of a city to impound personal vehicles except in certain situations. “There isn’t anything that allows a city to impound vehicles,” Cross said, noting state laws covered the issue. “We don’t have that authority. The city doesn’t have that authority.” Cross said technically, city police can impound a vehicle of a driver who has no proof of insurance, however the logistics of impounding vehicles – including a variety of factors that make it very hard on a small police department – almost make it prohibitive. Schaefer said that his staff – already short of an officer – would have to spend excessive time doing impoundment paperwork, waiting for a tow truck and then the city would City Council: See Page 3

Plethora of activities for all ages at this weekend’s Summerfest By Jeff Forward The last big community event of the summer is being held this weekend, as the annual Summerfest takes over Band Shell Park on Friday and Saturday with tons of activities for all ages. “This is our 16th annual event. We’re actually adding a little kicker this year,” said Hope Polk, from the Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, which is putting on the event. “It’s the first year of the beer garden at Summerfest, on Friday night.” Polk said the two-day event will feature “adult-friendly” events and entertainment on Friday night before switching to a child and familythemed day on Saturday. “At Summerfest, the community all comes up,” Polk said. “It’s kind of like a last hurrah before school

starts.” Festivities begin on Friday at 5 p.m., when the beer garden and food vendors begin service. This year’s beer garden is sponsored and run by D.T.’s Roadhouse of Dumont. The popular cover band, Standing Hampton, will be the main entertainment for Friday night. The band takes the stage at 8 p.m. and will play until midnight. Opening for Standing Hampton will be Jesse Allen Steward, at 5:30 p.m. “It’s going to take up most of the (Band Shell) park,” Polk said of Friday night’s beer garden. “So, if you want to see Standing Hampton or Jesse Allen Steward, you’re going to have to be inside the beer garden.” Friday night will also feature the wildly popular 60-mile classic car cruise through Franklin County. Car enthusiasts going on the cruise need to be at the Hampton-Dumont

Community High School parking lot at 6 p.m.; the cruise will depart the high school at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Polk said, is more of a family and child-friendly day. There will not be a beer garden on Saturday and instead, Band Shell Park will be filled with a classic car show, kids games, the same food vendors, and concerts by three different artists. The days activities begin at 9 a.m. with the classic car show, which will run until noon. At around noon, the KLMJ/KQCR Antique Tractor Parade is expected to wind into Hampton after beginning in Bristow earlier that morning. From noon until 3:30 p.m., the Whitesidewalls – a 1950s’ and 1960s’ tribute group – will rock the park with oldie tunes. At 6:15 p.m., Morgan Alexander will take the stage – opening for headliner Summerfest: See Page 3

Members of the Hampton Fire Department did a controlled burn of an abandoned home on July 29 at 400 First St. SW. Photos by Jeff Forward, Hampton Chronicle.

Intentional burning down of house a win-win for city

By Jeff Forward A large crowd of fascinated Hampton residents gathered on July 29 in the south part of the city to watch local firefighters burn down an abandoned house as part of a training exercise. The controlled burn fire was conducted by members of the Hampton Fire Department at an abandoned

house in the 400 block of First Street Southwest. The fire served two purposes for the city – as a training exercise on a live fire for members of the fire department but also as a way for the city to destroy an “eye-sore” condemned property it had taken possession of. “It’s probably about the best

training you can get because it’s a real, live fire,” said Hampton Fire Chief Kent Wilkinson. “We get the older guys showing the younger guys what to do; it’s a lot of good training.” Wilkinson said fires such as the one on July 29 allow his firefighters to practice important techniques such as rescue in a burning structure,

Local experts cautiously optimistic for a decent harvest By Nick Pedley Crops throughout Franklin and southern Cerro Gordo County are still playing catch-up following this spring’s heavy precipitation and late planting season. Local agriculture experts stressed the need for dry weather and warm temperatures throughout the month of August. Keith Pillatzki, agronomist at Agvantage’s Franklin County locations, said rainfall in May and June set up area corn and soybean plants for decent fall yields

so long as precipitation stays at bay this month. Though many fields were planted late, Pillatzki felt most area crops were still on pace for a relatively productive harvest. “Most crops are progressing nicely. The late corn is doing the best it can. It’s playing catch-up right now, but some of it’s starting to tassel,” he said. Pillatzki estimated that only 5 percent of the Franklin County’s crop was in excellent condition. The large majority—60 percent or so—is average to slightly below average, he

said. The rest, however, was below that. He felt 25 percent was well under average for this time of the growing season with the remaining 10 percent in very poor condition. “That’s not in any individual township. It’s pretty generalized throughout the county because of the late crop,” said Pillatzki. Heavy spring rain is the culprit behind another issue afflicting local corn and soybeans. According to Mark Bausch, agronomist at North Corn Crops: See Page 3

use of power saws and tools, and fire truck set-up and correct usage of water hoses to battle a residential blaze. “We send the guys in there with their airpacks on and the thermal imaging,” Wilkinson added. “We have one of the firemen go in there and hide in the fire and we find him and drag him out.” Wilkinson said about 20 of the

department’s 23 volunteer firefighters took part in the practice burn. The fire was started at about 6 p.m. and the whole exercise was completed by about 8:15 p.m. “They get to see how everything goes and how fast it burns,” Wilkinson added. “Plus we have to run the trucks and the hoses and water.” Training Fire: See Page 2

County, city officials to meet, discuss dispatch services Council, and the county Emergency By Jeff Forward The ongoing saga of the fate of four city-employed emergency dispatchers continues this week when officials and attorneys from both the City of Hampton and Franklin County are scheduled to meet to try to hash out their differences. Representatives from the Franklin County Board of Supervisors, the Hampton City

Management Commission were scheduled to meet with attorneys for all parties at 7 p.m. on Aug. 6 in the Law Enforcment Center conference room to discuss the issue of dispatchers. Hampton City Manager Ron Dunt said city officials wanted the meeting in order to “expedite the process” and bring clarity to the issue with everyone’s attorneys be Dispatch: See Page 15

The property was a foreclosed home and the city pursued ownership under Chapter 657 (a) of the Iowa Code, which allows for abandoned properties to be acquired by local cities. With an estimated 20 to 30 homes in similar condition, Dunt said he’d be happy to be able to burn all of them to the ground. “It’d be nice in a fantasy world to burn down all these down,� Dunt said. “Put in nice lawns and sell them. But in reality, it takes money. It costs money and it takes money away from the (city’s) general fund. You have to do them as you can afford it.� “We’d love to do what we can to remove these problem properties, but it does cost money,� Dunt added. “We just can’t afford to acquire these properties.�

Bradley Waddle, the manager of the city aquatic center, addressed the council about an idea put forth by Council Member Valerie Haugebak of having a designated dog day at the swimming facility. Waddle seemed sour on the idea, and told the council bluntly that if an event would occur, he would refuse to save a dog himself and would not allow members of his lifeguard staff to rescue a dog in distress. “There is going to be some issues of hair and other stuff,â€?

Iowa Cooperative in Thornton, unevenness amongst crops is common throughout much of the area. He said temperatures in the mid-eighties, warm nights and minor rainfall accumulation throughout August would be ideal conditions for crops to maintain their current path. Bausch said he felt area corn and soybeans were in decent shape considering the turbulent weather, but remained tentatively hopeful about harvest predictions. “I’ve never seen anything like this year—even older farmers have been saying that. The late planting was just so wide-spread everywhere,â€? he said. “I think the early-planted crops could produce 180-bushel (per acre) corn and between 45-50 bushels (per acre) for soybeans, but the late stuff is really up in the air.â€?

Rick Demaray, agronomist at Five Star Cooperative in Dougherty, felt 95-98 percent of the crop around the Rockwell area was planted within a reasonable timeframe. “We’ve been pretty fortunate

around here. Our company’s territory stretches all the way up to the Minnesota border and my area is the one that got their crop in relatively on time,â€? said Demaray. He said most all of the corn is tasseled and felt that corn and soybeans were only one to two weeks behind where they should be at this time of the year. “Even though corn is behind, it will push itself to get where it needs to be. We saw that in July after it dried up. It’s versatile, where soybeans aren’t so much,â€? he said. Demaray felt crops around Rockwell were in better position than some throughout the area.

Local man acquitted of sex abuse charges, found innocent

By Jeff Forward A Hampton man who was arrested in May on allegations of sexual abuse and burglary was found not guilty of all charges on Aug. 1 following a two-day jury trial. Isidro Lopez Lopez, originally arrested by Hampton Police on May 15 and who had been incarcerated in the Hardin County Jail, was found innocent of all charges said his attorney, James Larsen of Iowa Falls. “A jury trial was held,â€?

Larsen said the trial began on July 30 in Franklin County District Court and included testimony from the alleged victim as well as Lopez Lopez.

Pedley’s Ponderings

Under the Golden Dome, Too

by Nick Pedley

by Linda Upmeyer

Hittin’ the road back home Last weekend provided me the opportunity to make the trip back home to my old stomping grounds in northwest Iowa. It’s always great to get away for a few days and reset the senses. It seemed like quite a few folks skipped town recently for summer YDFDWLRQV VR , Ă€JXUHG , KDG EHWWHU join them. My hometown is a threehour drive from here, so it wasn’t such a monumental expedition like some get-aways. I can’t think of a time in which I’ve gone home with no expectation of accomplishing something. When I was in school, I always brought some homework with me. Last week, I planned on writing a couple articles in my down time. Despite these productive intentions, I can’t think of a time in which I’ve actually accomplished what I set out to do while at home. I’m not griping, however. This weekend particularly stood out from past visits. The weather was beautiful and I was able to spend considerable time with my niece and nephew. Being away for four years really cut into my “uncle duties,â€? so to speak. There were many moments where I found myself thinking, “They’re growing up so fast‌â€? Even so, I had lots of fun running around and playing with them. I’m still a young guy by most standards, but I still don’t have half the energy that these two whippersnappers possess. My four-year-old nephew was running circles around me all day and I’m not sure how he was still going at nine o’clock that evening. My mom asked him if he wanted a nap following lunch that afternoon, but he was resilient. That’s more than you can say about me. I was more than ready for naptime. I was able to take him out to a local pond and check out all the frogs that lined the shore. Many had just grown their land legs, so walking alongside the water was quite a spectacle. Dozens of those slippery devils were leaping into the water all around us. It was funny to watch my nephew trying to keep up with all of them. I was able to catch a couple so he could inspect the peculiar critters, but the frogs were always one step ahead of him. Maybe he’ll have his frog-catching skills honed by next year. I think they usually come fullFLUFOH DURXQG DJH Ă€YH DQ\ZD\ He was too shy to show me his

new skill of riding a two-wheeled bike. However, we had fun playing baseball in the backyard. I don’t particularly remember whether or not I had any skill in the sport at his age. However, he seems pretty adept at throwing and hitting already. That is to say, throwing and hitting the ball at his uncle. I spent a majority of the time dodging and ducking line drives smacked directly up the middle. Such a talent is great, but it’s a rather nerve-wracking situation when you’re on the receiving end. I never knew plastic softballs could sting so much. I think I still have a few red marks on my legs and back. My two-year-old niece was also quite the character during my short visit. She has to keep up with her brother after all, and she certainly holds her own. She’s already an expert at instigating trouble and getting the blame thrown onto him. ,W¡V KDUG WR VWD\ PDG ZKHQ VKH Ă DVKHV her big blue eyes in your direction. She’s learning to master the “big girl potty,â€? and she’s coming along MXVW Ă€QH 6KH ZDV ERLVWHURXVO\ SURXG to proclaim to the entire family that she was wearing, “Panties!â€? on Saturday evening, however, she’s not perfect. After using the toilet by herself and not telling anyone, I found her heading to the backyard without any pants on. They were turned inside out, and she needed her mom’s assistance and an apparent blast of fresh air. It was great to get back home, even if it was only for two days. I got to see friends, family and other folks I hadn’t visited in a while. Hopefully I’ll be able to make more trips now that I live closer than I did before, but sometimes it’s hard to get away from busy schedules and other things. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and I can certainly say that’s been true for me over the past few years.

Fiscal discipline, restraint still in the plans By Linda Upmeyer It has been an exciting couple of weeks for high school softball and baseball, as state tournament time has arrived. I have been keeping a close eye on all of our teams and am so proud of our student athletes. Their passion and dedication to their respective sport during these hot summer months is truly admirable. There have been some nail biters, many victories, and some heartbreakers, but without a doubt a great deal of excitement and entertainment overall! Thank you to all of our student athletes and coaches for your hard work and enthusiasm!

Whether it is jealousy, envy, anger, bitterness, immorality, profanity, or any number of things I could mention, it starts out small and seemingly harmless. It then begins to spread until it takes over completely. There is no way we can get rid of it without help. The only one who can bring about restoration of the soul contaminated by sin is the Lord Jesus Christ. “Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is goodâ€? (Titus 2:14). If someone had taken steps to prevent the water from entering the camper walls, much damage could have been prevented. We, as Christians, also need to take preventive measures against sin creeping into our lives. Here are a few suggestions from Scripture: Flee from evil desires (2 Timothy 2:22). Resist the devil (1 Peter 5:8-9). Keep away from temptation (Galatians 6:1). Be in prayer (Mark 14:38). $QG LI ZH Ă€QG WKDW VLQ KDV FUHSW LQWR RXU OLIH KHUH LV WKH UHPHG\ ´,I ZH confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousnessâ€?

Blossom-end rot is probably responsible for the blackish spots on the tomato fruit. Blossom-end rot is a common problem on tomatoes. It appears as a brownish black spot on the blossom-end (bottom) of the fruit. Secondary organisms invade the brownish black spot and cause the fruit to rot. Blossom-end rot is most common on the earliest maturing fruit that ripen in July and early August. %ORVVRP HQG URW LV FDXVHG E\ D FDOFLXP GHÂżFLHQF\ LQ WKH GHYHORSLQJ IUXLW :LGH Ă€XFWXDWLRQV LQ VRLO PRLVWXUH OHYHOV LPSDLU FDOFLXP XSWDNH E\ WKH URRW system of the tomato plant. Excessive nitrogen fertilization also may contribute to blossom end rot. To reduce blossom-end rot, water tomato plants on a weekly basis during dry weather to provide a consistent supply of moisture to the plants (tomato plants require about 1 to 1½ inches of water per week during the growing season). Mulch the area around tomato plants to conserve soil moisture. Avoid over-fertilization. There is no need to apply calcium to the soil, as most Iowa soils contain more than adequate levels of calcium.

Blossom-end rot is a physiological disorder that occurs on tomato, pepper, eggplant and summer squash. On zucchini and other summer squash, the blossom end of the fruit begins to rot and within a short time the entire fruit has rotted. Blossom-end rot is caused by a lack of calcium in the developing fruit. In most cases, there is no need to apply calcium to the soil. Try to maintain an even moisture supply by watering once a week during dry weather. Also, do not over-fertilize plants. Uneven moisture supplies and excessive nitrogen inhibit calcium uptake.

Taking advantage of a caution, Kasey Kahne buried his car into Turn 1 with two laps left and grabbed a win from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon in Sunday’s GoBowling.com 400 atPocono Raceway. Kahne picked up his second victory of the season, all but assuring a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. It was his second at Pocono and the 16th of his career. Gordon ran second, 1.392 seconds behind his teammate, followed by Kurt Busch. Kahne gained one position to eighth in the Cup standings. The second victory gives him a substantial degree of comfort, given that no driver in contention for a Wild Card spot has more than one victory.
