Dall to be inducted in IGCA

Hall of Fame Former AGWSR and Alli-son-Bristow and current Dike-New Hartford girls’ basketball coach Bruce Dall will be inducted in the 2020 Iowa Girls’ Coaches Association Hall of Fame in April of next year. Dall led the Cougars to the 2009 state title in Class 1A. He said via social media af-ter the honor was announced, “I would not be on this great list if I didn’t have great people around me. Players, assistants, manag-ers share in this. Janesville, Alli-son-Bristow, AGWSR, D-NH have all been tremendous communities to coach at. Thanks to the IGCA and my family, Billie and my little boy, Kinnick!”

The initial Bulldog Hall of Fame Class was recognized on Friday, Sept. 27 before the homecoming contest against Clear Lake.

Among those honored were: • The 1926 Hampton Bulldog girls’ basketball team, which won the state championship with a 27-0 record. They out-scored their opponents 1,235-334 during the season. • Bill Hand, coach, who re-started the girls’ basketball program in 1961-62 and was the first coach for the girls’ track, golf, boys’ cross country and girls’ cross country teams. His base-ball teams also won three conference titles and finished second or third in the conference eight other times. • Bill Weeks, athlete, who graduat-ed from Hampton in 1947. A three-year starter for the Iowa State Cyclones, was voted an all-conference quarter-back his junior and senior seasons at ISU. He played in two college all-star games and was drafted by the Phila-delphia Eagles. An Achilles injury suf-fered in an auto accident prevented him from pursuing a college career, howev-er, he coached high school and college football in New Mexico.

• Jane Heilskov, athlete, who graduated from Hampton in 1976. After all-state honors in basketball, in which she is the school’s 6-on-6 scoring leader with 2,727 career points, the Bulldogs went to the state tourney twice during her career. She also golfed at the state meet three times from 1974-76. She went on to play basketball first at William Penn, then the University of Iowa, serving as the Hawkeye team captain her final season. • Sondra (Shull) Potter, athlete, a 1976 Hampton graduate. She played on the same 6-on-6 basketball teams as Heilskov, earning all-state honors both her junior and senior seasons. She also was a state track and field runner-up in the then-440 race, holding the school record in that event. She also went on to play basketball and run track at Wil-liam Penn before a knee injury ended her career. • Dan DeVries, athlete, class of 1980. DeVries lettered in cross country during his high school career, but it is basketball where he made school his-tory. He lettered four times and was an all-stater his junior and senior seasons.

Homecoming 2019 celebrates past, present Bulldogs The 2019 Hampton-Dumont-CAL Homecoming Week is in the books. The Bulldogs capped off Home-coming Week Saturday evening with the annual Homecoming dance. While the Bulldogs dropped a 42-0 decision to Clear Lake Friday night, the loss didn’t dampen a week of fun and celebration. Throughout the week, students dressed up for various theme days before ending the week with a

black and red spirit day. Special events included decorating downtown businesses, a powderpuff football game, coronation and the in-duction of the first Bulldog Hall of Fame class prior to the football game Friday. As has become tradition, athlet-ic teams, the homecoming court and marching band paraded through the town Friday afternoon before ending

at Band Shell Park for a pep rally. The rally included cheers, contests with the football players and a speech by head football coach Andy Bruemmer.

Dumont woman killed

in vehicle crash Friday

BY GREG FORBES

A Dumont woman was killed in a single ve-hicle crash in Mason

City over the weekend. The Mason City Police De-partment in a release said the vehicle, driven by Thomas Berk, 24, of Aredale, crashed just south of Highway 122 on California Avenue at 10:44 p.m. Friday. Passengers Madisyn En-sign, 21 of Dumont, and Dom-inic Clifford, 18, were ejected from the vehicle. Ensign died as a result of her injuries sustained from the crash. Clifford and Berk were hospitalized for their injuries. A fourth passenger, a minor, was treated and released. No specifics as to what caused the crash were immedi-ately available. The crash remains under in-vestigation. Any information related to the crash can be given to the Mason City Police De-partment at 641-421-3636.

Hampton man involved in

fatal collision BY GREG FORBES

A Hampton man was involved in a fatal vehicle collision in

Webster County last week. According to a release issued by the Iowa State Patrol, Kirk Gunderson, 58 of Hampton, was driving a semi-trailer west in the right lane on Highway 20 and slowed to turn north onto Vasse Avenue, south of Duncombe in Webster County last Thursday. As he slowed, a 2017 Suba-ru Forester behind Gunderson, driven by Ricky Mason, 68 of Dysart, did not slow down and struck the back of Gunderson’s vehicle, the release said. The release said Mason was transported to a hospital in Fort Dodge where he died from his injuries. Gunderson was trans-ported to a Fort Dodge hospital with unknown injuries.

FUN WITH ENFORCEMENTStudents meet emergency responders

at Family Safety NightBY GREG FORBES

Students last Thursday had a chance to see area law enforcement and emergency re-

sponders equipment and vehi-cles up-close and personal. Nor th Side Elementary School on Thursday hosted its annual Preschool Family Safe-ty Night. Outside the school, representatives of the Frank-lin County Sheriff’s Office, the Hampton Fire Department, Franklin General EMS, the But-ler County Sheriff’s Office and the Hampton Police Department allowed students to tour vehi-cles and see some of the tools they use in the field. Students also received small gifts such as plastic fire helmets and junior police badges. Elementary Principal Jarod Haeselhuhn said the purpose of the event is to allow students and families the chance to meet emergency responders in a safe, family environment and learn a little bit more about serving in the various departments. “This is a good way to put faces with emergency person-nel,” he said. “This helps the kids be aware that they are real

people and when they see them, there’s no need to be scared.” Haeselhuhn added it’s also a good opportunity for newer staff to make connections with law enforcement officials and emergency responders. “It’s nice to meet so many community members and put names to faces,” he said. “A lot of these people are parents and volunteers, so it’s been wonder-ful to meet them.”

This is the third year the school hosted the event. Pre-school teacher Robin Maas said Safety Night is fun for all in-volved and an anticipated event each year. She said students enjoy seeing the vehicles and equipment while parents have the chance inform their children about safety. “It’s a really fun night,” she said. “Adults have almost as much fun as the kids do.”

Fellowship through foodMeal packing event provides 62,000 meals for the hungry

BY GREG FORBES

This year’s meal packing event to benefit Meals from the Heartland had a

different setting but the same community heart behind it. The annual event, which challenges community mem-bers to package meals for the hungry throughout the world, was held at the Hampton-Du-mont-CAL High School gym-nasium this year. In year’s past, the event took place at Church of the Living Word. Chris Sauke, administra-tor and youth leader for CLW, said that the change in venue was requested by the school’s FFA program. The plan was to involve the student body in the project, as Homecoming Week normally features a service en-deavor of some sort. Sauke said

it was an easy choice to include H-D-CAL students in the annu-al event. “The answer was quite easy because that’s what it’s all about,” he said. “Meal packing has always been about commu-nity involvement and bringing people together from all walks of life. “To bring the school district together with the larger com-munity into one project was a no brainer,” he added. Throughout the day last Thursday, 500 people worked to package 62,000 meals. Meals from the Heartland will then partner with other service or-ganizations to distribute those meals to countries across the world in need and to commu-nities locally that have been struck by natural disasters. Meals will also be distributed to local food banks. In 2018 alone, more than 600,000 meals were given to Iowa food banks. Sauke said he was pleased to see the collaborative effort between the students and the community as a whole to bond together to provide hunger re-

lief to, in many cases, complete strangers. “The sight of the gym floor filled with students and staff working together was awe-some,” he said. “Everybody was doing the same thing, working together for the same effort. “It’s just great to see every-body come together,” he added.

Tree board plants new trees at Sheriff’s officeBY GREG FORBES

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Law En-forcement Center grounds received a fresh upgrade last week. Last Thursday, the Hampton Tree

Board planted five new trees outside the sheriff’s office. Randy Sanders, Tree Board member, said the group planted a variety of oak trees, includ-ing red, white, swamp white and bur oaks. Those trees complement seven others planted by the tree board last spring. Sanders said the planting efforts are to make up for a loss of ash trees on the office’s west side.

The board, Sanders said, is planting a variety of species to avoid large-scale tree loss. Now that the emerald ash borer has been found in Frank-lin County, Sanders said the tree board needs to be proactive to make sure the community is pre-pared for a loss of trees. “They’re working with the tree board to replace the ash trees and we’re not planting all the same kind,” he said. “We knew the ash borer was com-ing, so this is going to be normal in Hampton.” Sanders said that anyone who suspects their tree is infected by the ash borer or is looking for more information, to contact tree board members.

Fall Festival returns to Harriman-Nielsen Sunday

BY GREG FORBES

An expected mild Sunday will pro-vide the perfect setting for one of

Franklin County’s most cher-ished fall festivals. The Harriman-Nielsen His-toric Farm Fall Festival returns Sunday, Oct. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. with an array of activities and attractions for an audience of all ages. The festival features favorite traditions that appeal to both children and adults. Younger guests can enjoy a kids’ carni-val, pumpkin picking, a shell corn “sandbox”, cider press and corn shelling demonstrations and a petting zoo. Vendors, a photography booth for family portraits, a

grill out featuring bratwursts, bean soup and pie, wagon rides, tall corn, tall sunf lower and largest pumpkin contests, and live entertainment. As always, admission and parking are free while food and goods are avail-able for sale. The festival has become an annual celebration of both Franklin County’s agricultural and Danish heritage histories. At the center of the event is the Harriman-Nielsen Historic Farm Home, which was a popu-lar gathering place for travelers on their way to and from Hamp-ton. Guests at the festival are encouraged to take a tour of the house to see a model of an ear-ly 1900s Danish farm home as well as artifacts from that era.

Families will be able to get free portraits taken in front of a fall backdrop at the Harriman-Nielsen Fall Festival. FILE PHOTO

The next meeting will be held in the Latimer Community Center on Thursday, Oct. 17 beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Talkingto strangers My friend Dirk and I were hitching up Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa when two guys in an El Camino pulled over. We hopped in the back and soon dis-covered the driver was inebriated to the point that he was visiting all four lanes randomly, and with us on board. So far, the other cars were dodging us but we bailed at about 35 miles per hour. Yes, hitchhiking can be dan-gerous. But when I read the headline to a story in The Wall Street Journal that said, “How to Avoid Talking to Strangers,” I still thought... why? Strangers are society’s door to new things. For me, strangers were a way of getting around. What came with it was more valuable than transportation. Here are a cou-ple stories from my hitchhiking days: After I graduated from high school in 1969, I hitched from California to New York City to see my dad. Rocky, who was a neighbor in Santa Monica be-fore moving to Connecticut, came down and picked me up in his Corvair. (Ask Ralph Nader. It’s a miracle we survived.) We drove up to the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island where the promoter had gone nuts and included non-jazz acts as a way to broaden everyone’s musical appreciation. Two weeks be-fore Woodstock, George Wein’s vision was realized. I never doubted that I made the right choice in passing up Woodstock for Newport. If you are a mu-sic fan go to my blog to see the list of legendary performers at Newport 1969. I got side tracked. I don’t re-member a long wait or a drunk driver while hitchhiking east. I guess that’s a good thing. Often when things go wrong I exclaim, “that’s what memories are made of.” The gist of it is that 3,000 miles, 18 years old, parents worried sick by their thoughtless and rebellious son, and we all survived. After high school I moved 500 miles north to attend a small art college in Oakland. I hitched up and down the coast numerous times in those days. One time I was lucky to get a ride at a super busy on-ramp in San Jose. The driver was a GI headed to an Army base south down the coast. I fell asleep and when I woke up we were sever-al miles down Highway 1. The trouble was that mudslides had closed the highway south of the base and I had to go back north to go south. It was pouring rain but I got a ride back to 101. In the dark pouring rain motorists saw a poncho with a thumb sticking out. I could have been Charlie Manson for all they knew. When the nearby bar closed I asked the proprietor if there might be a dry place near-by where I could roll out my sleeping bag. He directed me to a row of garages, abandoned be-cause of the new highway. A pack of about 10 dogs greeted me down there. Luckily there was an island six feet long and 16 inches wide in one of the garages. I was a white settler and the dogs were the Indians. They circled and barked a lot. A Blue Heeler yipped at the hole where I tightened my drawstring for what seemed like all night. No dogs were there on the bright, sunny morning. The rest of my 500-mile trip was un-eventful. Nobody killed me and I wasn’t Charlie Manson. Any responses to The Alter-native may be sent as a letter to the editor or to Fritz’s email ad-dress 4selfgovernment@gmail.com.

THE ALTERNATIVE

FritzGroszkruger

BAD DECISIONS By now you probably know the legend of Carson King, the 24-year-old college football fan whose chance encounter in front of a camera transformed his joke fundraiser for beer money into a real multi-million dollar fundraiser for a children’s hospital. It was the feel-good story of the year and obviously merited a profile on King by the Des Moines Register. And, by now, you know what happened next. Well, to an extent. In performing a background investigation on King, Des Moines Register reporter Aar-on Calvin discovered a couple of tweets King had made as a teenager referencing a racial-ly-charged skit from “Tosh.0.” These tweets were somehow deemed newsworthy by the Register, who contacted King for further comment. From there, the timeline re-garding the actions taken by the Des Moines Register, Anheus-er-Busch, and King himself makes it unclear as to who knew what, when they knew it, and how. On Tuesday evening, King held a press conference to ad-dress the inappropriate tweets. This was before the Des Moines Register ran their feature, but after Anheuser-Busch cut ties with King. What do seven-year-old tweets King made quoting of-fensive jokes he saw on Com-edy Central have to do with anything? That is the question that the Des Moines Register has struggled to answer for the last week as they’ve dealt with the blowback from their perceived attack on the local hero. Carol Hunter, the Register’s executive editor, has emphasized in two separate statements the strug-gle that their editorial staff had in regard to whether or not to publish the information about King’s tweets. I am familiar with these kinds of discussions. Similar discussions are held in our own offices on a semi-regular basis. Determining what is or isn’t ap-propriate to print is sometimes a tricky business. This wasn’t one of those times. In discussing the matter with my own colleagues, none of us have been able to comprehend how the professional staff of Iowa’s most high profile news-room even contemplated mak-ing the decisions they made last week. Even playing Devil’s Ad-vocate I can’t articulate the ar-gument in favor of putting any kind of spotlight on the tweets in question. Neither, mind you, can the Des Moines Register. Or at least they haven’t yet publicly. In spite of Hunter releasing an editorial titled “Here’s how we reported on Carson King’s tweets,” the actual argument that seemingly won out in the Register’s newsroom is absent. Here’s the exact paragraph in question.

“That prompted a discussion involving several Register edi-tors about how best to proceed: Should that material be included in the profile at all? The jokes were highly inappropriate and were public posts. Shouldn’t that be acknowledged to all the people who had donated money to King’s cause or were plan-ning to do so?” There is no argument in that paragraph. That’s two state-ments of fact and a rewording of the question that they were already trying to answer. Noth-ing in that paragraph lays out the thought process that led to the Register deciding to move forward with mentioning the tweets in their profile. Yes, the tweets were techni-cally public. But only as public as seven-year-old tweets that you would have to intentionally be searching for to find could be. Simply existing in the public space is not a sufficient thresh-old for newsworthiness. And yes, the tweets were in-appropriate. And? As far as headlines go “Local man made inappropriate joke as a teenager” ranks right up there with “Grass still green, water still wet.” I could have told you Carson King made inappropri-ate jokes as a teenager without ever looking at his Twitter his-tory. I could tell you the same thing about every adult I have ever written a story on by vir-tue of the fact that they were all once teenagers. Due diligence is one thing. It was good that the Register did a background check on King to make sure he didn’t have a history of scams, that he wasn’t involved in a dog fighting ring, or that he wasn’t a defender of the last season of “Game of Thrones.” But unlike another well known Iowa King, there’s no indication that Carson King’s inappropriate tweets represent-ed a history of racist opinions and behavior. To the best of my knowledge, Carson King hasn’t been writing anti-immigrant manifestos or attending Nazi rallies. My own cursory “in-vestigation” into King’s Twit-ter history indicates that he has much stronger opinions about Dr. Pepper than the average per-son probably should and that’s about it. Frankly, his love of Dr. Pep-per seems much more interest-ing and relevant to his profile than a couple of tweets he didn’t even remember making as a teenager, yet that didn’t even get a mention in the Register’s story. I take no pleasure in arm-chair quarterbacking the Reg-ister’s actions on this matter. And let me be clear, this wasn’t a “hit-job” or an intentional

smearing on the Register’s part. Malice was not the cause of this fiasco. Poor judgment was. It is entirely possible, if not likely, that King’s tweets would have resurfaced elsewhere. If Anheuser-Busch discovered them and decided to cut ties with King independently, as appears to be the case, then the Register would have had to re-port on that anyway. But that would have been a very differ-ent story than the one that was written. The Register is still a good paper that does good and im-portant work. We know this be-cause what happened last week is undeniably out-of-character. We wouldn’t be so surprised otherwise. Like King him-self, their entire body of work shouldn’t be defined by a couple of bad decisions. But at the same time, this self-inflicted wound not only damages their credibility, but the credibility of the journalism profession as a whole. They’ve not only embarrassed them-selves, they’ve made life that much harder for the rest of us in the business. It’s no secret that there is a concerted effort by a segment of the population to portray the media as “the enemy” in order to obfuscate their own possible misdeeds. Hostility against re-porters in this country is at an unnerving high point. This pervasive hostility can have dire consequences. Just last year a man murdered five people in an Annapolis newspa-per office over their reporting of his guilty plea for criminal ha-rassment. He thought the news-paper had treated him unfairly. That they were the enemy. If you want to know why police were escorting Register staff into their office last week, things like that are the reason. This hostility is everywhere. The day before this story unraveled I was just getting back into the country after two weeks in Japan. In stark contrast to the im-maculately polite Japanese, im-mediately upon returning home I was harassed by a customs agent who, upon learning my profession, thought it appropri-ate to take a verbal jab at me, asking if “I was one of the hon-est ones.” This was my “welcome” back to America. Getting trash talked on my birthday after a 10-hour flight by a stranger with a gun. All because I’m the guy whose job it is to go to the city council meetings so the rest of you don’t have to. There are already too many people in this country itching for an excuse to justify their dislike of the media. The Des Moines Register doesn’t need to be handing them reasons on a silver platter.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month reminds us to

be a good neighbor, friend The calendar has turned over to October, which means this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Even in smaller communities such as ours, breast cancer and cancer as a whole has touched virtually everyone’s lives. Some of us have battled it ourselves while most of the rest of us have friends, family and neighbors who have. It does not discriminate who it affects. Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we see pink ribbons on our televisions and in our communities but the ability to make an impact through the month extends beyond a color. As always, donations can be made to support research for a breast cancer cure and detection and provide resources to those who are battling the disease. There are also direct ways to help those affected in your own community. Cancer.org provides recommendations how an individual can provide support by simply being a friend or neighbor.

Visits – Arrange short but frequent visits that fit with a loved one’s schedule. Visits can be an opportunity to help with housework or other chores or simply be a time to chat and provide support. These visits help an individual with cancer relax while providing companionship.

Conversations – One of the most important pieces of con-versation, the website says, is to be understanding of one’s emo-tions and feelings and allow them to feel that way. The website urges individuals to not bring up past behaviors that may have been a cause for cancer or offer medical advice. Instead, gear chats towards what a loved one feels like talking about.

Errands – Offer to take care of simple but valuable tasks. Pet sitting, making meals, providing transportation and other every day tasks can be a huge benefit for a friend and loved one. These are just a few ways to help. The website contains many more tips and advice but remember, any gesture – big or small – can make a world of difference.

COMMUNITY NOTES

LOOKING BACKThirty Years AgoOctober 12, 1989

Boy Scouts from Hampton Troop 120 are gearing up for the annual popcorn sales drive, which begins this Saturday. As in past years the scouts will be selling the popcorn to raise money for the scouting pro-gram. Popcorn will be sold in decorative ISU, U of I and UNI buckets containing either four pounds of popcorn or five bags of microwave popping corn. Guests at the Jessie Ja-cobsen home in Coulter Sun-day to help her celebrate her birthday were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Britzman of Ce-dar Falls, Lana Huebner and Kim Huebner of Cedar Falls and Carla Huebner of Ames and Pastor and Marie Hester-berg. George Crawford and Rose Dirks were guests on Saturday. Navy Seaman Recruit James A. Young, son of Richard D. And Joann M. Young, rural Hampton, has completed recruit training at Recruit Training Command, San Diego. Young is a 1989 graduate of Hampton Community High School.

Twenty Years AgoOctober 14, 1999

The Franklin County Public Health has had success with its flu shot program this fall. The nurses, who are making at least 33 stops this fall, expect to give roughly 1,000 influenza shots, 100 tetanus shots, and 100 pneumonia shots in the upcom-ing month. Tuesday morning, the nurses were making a stop at the Latimer Senior Citizens Center. In line were roughly

three dozen people waiting for their turn to pull up their sleeve and get one, two, or three shots. Kristin Johansen of La-timer, daughter of Dave and Karolyn Johansen, enlisted on active duty in the United States Air Force on Sept. 15, 1999. Kristin, a 1999 gradu-ate of CAL Community High School, will attend Air Force basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Carl and Doris Richtsmeier of Hampton returned home this past weekend after spending a month in Juneau, Alaska, with her daughter, Rhonda Richts-meier. While there they ob-served Carl’s 80th birthday and their 59th anniversary. Ron and Judy Richtsmeier of Bayfield, Colorado, and Judy Schwab of Colorado Springs, Colorado, were also guest of Rhonda.

Ten Years AgoOctober 7, 2009

The Sheffield Care Center will celebrate its 30th anniver-sary Oct. 18-24. The week will kick off on Sunday, Oct. 18, with a party from 2-4 p.m. Ev-eryone is invited to join them for cake and coffee. The week-long celebration will wrap up on Saturday, Oct. 24, with a Fall Bazaar featuring crafts made by the residents and staff, starting at 4 p.m. From 5-8 p.m., there will be a pork burger sup-per, with music by the Merv and Bob Band. There will also be a “dusty shoe” tour of the new Deerfield Place Assisted Living Facility. Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors

visited Omnium this week. Land ‘O Lakes of Minne-apolis honored Omnium in Hampton with a safety award from one million man-hours without an accident. That’s a little over eight-and-a-half years. Omnium is a manufac-turer of farm chemicals and spray edgiments for major farm chemical companies. They are a division of Win-field Solutions who is a divi-sion of Land ‘O Lakes. Plant safety is really a team effort. Students at tending the Hampton-Dumont Alternative Program hosted an open house last week to showcase their learning center, projects they have completed and projects they are working on. Food was served, presentations were giv-en and fun was had by all.

Five Years AgoOctober 1, 2014

One of Franklin County’s most well-known native sons returned home last weekend for a special ceremony commem-orating his 20-year political career. Alexander native and current Third Congressional District Rep. To Latham was honored Saturday night during a special program hosted by the Franklin County Republicans at Sheffield’s Ridge Stone Golf and Country Club. Latham, who represented Franklin County and other portions of north Iowa for the bulk of his career, is retiring from the U.S. House of Representatives when his term expires at the end of the year. “Going from Alex-ander, a town of 168 people, to Washington D.C., is an amaz-

ing trip and a change in your whole world basically,” he said. “I can’t help but think of all the people that made it possible for someone from Alexander to be able to walk across that street in Washington and see that done.” Sheril Brodbeck of Hamp-ton State Bank was recently honored by the Iowa Bankers Association (IBA) for more than 50 years of service at a bank. The award was pre-sented during the IBA Annu-al Convention on Sept. 23 in Des Moines. Brodbeck was one of 13 individuals recog-nized for reaching the 50-year service milestone. A native to Dumont, Brodbeck joined Hampton State Bank in 1996. Her prior banking experience was at the State Bank of Du-mont and Liberty Bank. She has served in many capacities during her banking career and currently is senior loan

processor and a key member of the loan admin-istration team and com-pliance commit-tee at Hamp-ton State Bank. Only five weeks into the 2014 football season, Hampton-Dumont is already making its mark.The No. 5 Bulldogs either tied or set game and season records in a 50-0 road thumping of Osage on Fri-day, Sept. 26. H-D tied the re-cord for interceptions in a game (five) and Trevor Eiklenborg tied the record for three by one player in a game as coach Jer-ry Shafrath’s squad improved to 5-0 overall, 2-0 in Class 2A, District 3.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

She and Verne moved to Newhall in 1971, and she worked as a secretary for the athletic director at Benton Community High School for 21 years. Elaine was actively in-volved at her church. She enjoyed playing golf, cards, and games with family and friends. She and Verne en-joyed spending 18 winters in Harlingen, Texas. She loved watching as many sporting events and ac-tivities as possible of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Betty Larson Betty Ann Larson, 84, of Alden, passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at the Mercy Medical Center in Mason City. Visitation was held from 5:30-8 p.m., Friday, Sept. 27 at the Sur-ls Funeral Home in Iowa Falls. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 28 at the Surls Funeral Home in Iowa Falls with burial in the Alden Cemetery. A reception to followed at the Alden Le-gion Community Center. Betty Ann “Nanny” (Ites) Larson was born March 10, 1935, at the Iowa Falls Hospital in Iowa Falls, to Richard Ites Sr.and Anna Margaret (Bahr) Ites. Her early years were spent on the farm with her parents and her two broth-ers, Richard Jr. (Bud) and Edward. She liked to tell stories of what life on the farm was like and would compare it to her own chil-dren’s “easy” life. Betty graduated high school in 1953, from Alden. She then earned a nursing degree from Evangelical Nursing School in Marshalltown. On Dec. 16, 1956, Betty was united in marriage to Loren Larson at St. Paul’s Lutheran church in Alden. The next 20 years were spent traveling with Loren around the globe as a mil-itary wife and mother to their four daughters. She loved the adventure of Air Force life. Betty worked as an RN at the Plattsmouth Care Center in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. In 1978, Loren retired from the Air Force, and they moved back home to Alden. She then worked as an RN and eventually became the Director of Nursing at Scenic Manor in Iowa Falls. Betty’s pas-sions included her family, gardening, decorating birthday cakes, taking care of her cabin “Iowaknoll,” going to Iowa State football and basketball games and being the hostess of many family gath-erings. She thought that her table was the heart of her family and anyone that came to her table would be well-nourished, cared for and welcomed. Cinnamon rolls, tapioca, bread pudding, sauerkraut and noodles, homemade pickles, grape jelly, dozens of Christmas cookies and treats, sugar-cinnamon toast with hot chocolate and her infamous candy drawer were just some of her specialties. Betty believed food healed all ailments, or at least made them better! Betty lived a real life, not one that was sugar-coated. Her wis-dom, off-handed humor, and her compassion was matched only by her hard-exterior, and her “I will fight for what I believe attitude”. It wasn’t always easy for her and she knew what it meant to fight right down to the end. Above all, she loved her husband with a fierce intensity that lasted 58 years. We are certain that along with God, Loren was waiting at the gates of heaven for her. Their reunion must certainly have been a sight to see. Betty is survived by her four daughters: Vicki (Steve) Sukup, and their children Nickolas, Crystal (Matt) Koch, and Emily (Andy) Schmitt, of Clear Lake; Lori (Tom) Hemphill, and their children Clay and Jared of Omaha; Juli Larson, and her children Luke (Brit-tany) Erickson, Lauren (Josh) Heuberger, of Sheffield; and Jami Al-drich, and her son Jackson of Johnston; great-grandchildren: Lily, Zander, and Grace Koch, Wynn and Celia Schmitt, and Larson and Eloise Heuberger; brother Edward (Lois) Ites, of Iowa Falls; broth-er-in-law, Don (Karen) Larson, of Santa Ana, Calif.; sister-in-law, Janice Larson, of Kansas City; and too many cousins and friends, including her four-legged granddogs to print. She was preceded in death by her high school sweetheart and husband, Loren; brother, Richard, and his wife Phyllis Ites; broth-er-in-law, Almen Larson; parents-in-law, Almen O. and Anna Mae Larson; and parents, Richard Sr. and Anna Margaret Ites.

When we are enthusiastic, it is as if there is a god or spirit within us. Most religions have some notion that God has breathed His spirit into us. Christianity makes much of

the God within us affects our lives, allowing us to do things which we would otherwise be incapable of, or in our conscience, which is the voice of God within us, or simply by inspiring us to live a more

Gregg said these visits are important because it gives him a first-hand look at how rural Iowa businesses navigate and address some of the main issues that affect various industries. “From our prospective, it gives us an opportunity to get outside the bubble of Des Moines,” he said. “We’re very proud of the prosperity our capitol city and those thriving suburbs but it’s important to us that there be opportunity and prosperity in rural parts of our state too. “Part of understanding the challenges that rural communities face is going and talking with the people there and hearing the things that are not only going right, but also the things we can do better as a state,” he added. Gregg said the number one issue he regularly sees is the inability to fill skilled labor jobs. He and Gov. Kim Reynolds have worked through Future Ready Iowa to invest in community colleges, ap-prenticeships and forge partnerships in local schools to produce more workers to fill those needs. “The most common issue we hear about is workforce and find-ing skilled labor to fill positions that are available,” he said. “The biggest problem we have in the state of Iowa is we have more jobs than we have people to fill them.” He added that the focus has also been on developing housing to attract a workforce to communities. “That affects our ability to grow,” he said. “It’s hard to recruit workers if there isn’t a nice place for them to live and it’s hard to grow our population if there isn’t a nice place to live.” Aside from issues that face rural Iowa’s industries, Gregg also briefly sounded off on a couple of topics he sees the state facing as the year winds down, such as the Renewal Fuel Standard and small refinery exemptions as well as the weather throughout the remain-der of the crop season.

Dellinger said his pies are 100 percent made from scratch, contain real, natural ingredients and are baked-to-order. “I use home grown fruit and everything is homemade and made from scratch,” he said. “All the ingredients are high quality.” Dellinger said he’s been baking since he was a kid, but his family’s involvement in the craft extends beyond his youth. His grandfather, Ches-ter, worked in bakeries in Fort Dodge and Clarion, then Ames before retiring in the 1970s. “He lost the bakery in Clar-ion because he was drafted in World War II,” Dellinger re-called. “He didn’t end up going but still had to lose the bakery since he was drafted.” The baking passion in his family trickled down from his grandfather to his parents and eventually reached Dellinger himself. “Growing up, I would bake with my parents and I just really liked it,” he said. He said while his recipes are mostly from his head, he uses inspiration from both his grand-father’s ingredients and his time baking with his parents to give his creations an added touch. He added that he wanted to dive into the pie making venture to keep the art of baking alive and provide fresh-baked goods to the community following the closure of the Korner Bakery. “Today, a lot of people ha-ven’t been taught how to bake pies,” he said. “It’s kind of a dying art. I thought there was a need here for homemade pies.”

Favorable reviews of his slices by the public, including a successful sale at the Trini-ty Lutheran Church booth at the Franklin County Fair, gave Dellinger the idea to turn his passion into a small business. Those comments he received, he said, gave him the confi-dence and encouragement to be-gin selling his pies on a wider, more frequent scale. Dellinger said anyone want-ing to order a pie can contact him at jeffsinquiries@yahoo.com and can find a menu on posters that will be posted in the community or at the Jeff’s Pies and More Facebook page or by calling him at 641-430-0161. He said he would like customers to place orders three days in ad-vance. Pies are baked and given to a customer in a glass pie plate wrapped in a towel and there-fore, orders come with an $8 deposit. Transactions are cash only. Specifics on where to pick up the pies will be given after an order is made. Dellinger said he’s excited to get his business started and encourages anyone looking for a baked good for a special occa-sion to give him a call. “Everyone likes pie,” he said. “We’ve all heard of birthday cakes, but have you ever tried a birthday pie?” He added that not only is he ready to share his creations with others, but wants to do so because of the personal joy it gives him to see people enjoy his baked goods. “I’m excited,” he said. “It puts a big smile on my face.”

The school was able to pur-chase one set of the goggles through school funding and an-other thanks to a $5,000 grant from Mission Possible received through the Franklin County Community Foundation. During the lesson, stu-dents were able to get up close and personal with stationary models including a shark and a human heart. However, the goggles also allow a student to be dropped in the middle of a live situation. Gasps and excit-ed shrieks could be heard as the students encountered a polar bear in the arctic, a Great White shark deep in the ocean and saw Central Park in New York City from an eagle eye view. The goggles will be shared between Hampton-Dumont and CAL. In an earlier inter-view with the Hampton Chron-icle, technology director Steve Waage said that the goggles, along with other VR and AR software already in use at the district, gives students immer-sive and lifelike experiences with things and places they may not have the chance to see in person. “This makes learning more active than passive,” Waage said in the interview. “It’s im-mersive. They can get fabulous visualizations that can be hard to learn or understand as ab-stract ideas.”

Here in Iowa there aren’t many who wouldn’t consider sweet corn our state food. Grown by hard-working lo-cal farmers, it’s a staple of summer in the Midwest. On September 11th, students in Jane Hoegh’s Bulldog Cafe classes and Sarah DeBour’s Ag students shucked around 350 ears of corn so that the H-D student body could en-joy sweet corn in addition to their usual school lunch. After prep was done by students, the high school cafeteria staff took over from there. The team prepared the corn, making it ready for students to enjoy. On September 12th, when students went through the lunchline they were given full ears of corn. It was the USDA Farm-to-School Grant that funded the local corn which was grown locally at Puffer Roske Farms. Jane Hoegh says, “The local food movement is

they are so nutrient-rich.”

Above: Students (Marina Guerrero, Drew Uhlenhopp, Oscar Meija, and Heilyn Cor-dova) spend their class period shucking corn to prepare for the Farm to Table meal. Upper Right: An array of healthy choices during lunch on September 12th. Right: Jace Spurgeon, Ray Velas-quez, and Heidy Ojeda enjoy sweet corn with their regular school lunch.

Bulldogs try different players mid-match in four-set loss to Clear LakeBY KRISTI NIXON

HAMPTON – Bull-dogs’ head coach Kelli Showalter, in an effort to shake

things up for her team mid-match, switched her lineup a bit in order to set a fire under them.

It worked temporarily for the Bulldogs, nabbing the third set, but they found themselves down 6-0 to start the fourth in an eventual 27-25, 25-14, 20-25, 25-16 Clear Lake win on Tues-day, Sept. 24.

Don’t expect those changes to last, however.

“I trust who I have in there,” Showalter said. “You have off-nights and it’s not working. I don’t feel changing the line-ups…they’ve earned their po-sitions; one night doesn’t mean they aren’t going to have their positions (taken away).

“I was just trying something so we could win, I had to do something when we had a lot of missed blocks, shanked passes. You have to do something to change it up.”

Coach Showalter and the Bulldogs had their chances in the opening set, leading 20-17 before a lift, a push-kill by Kait-lyn VanderPloeg and a hitting error tied it at 21, forcing Show-alter to call timeout.

But after the break, Delaney Eden, who recorded a match-high 20 kills put down two of them over the next three points and Julia Merfeld’s ace made it 24-22.

It wasn’t over at the point, however, because two straight Lion hitting errors tied the set at 24 and one of Courtney Mill-er’s 10 kills for the Bulldogs gave them set point, prompting a Clear Lake timeout. Out of the time, a hitting error and a tip by Eden gave the Lions the momentum.

The second set featured a long serving run by Merfeld who turned around an 11-10 Bulldog lead to a 19-11 Lion ad-vantage that finally ended after an extended rally on a hitting error by Allexa Whitehouse. But Clear Lake’s lead by that point was too great.

Clear Lake actually led 8-2 to start the third set before the lineup changes and the Bulldog rally. During that rally, Miller had three of her kills, a tip by Avery Hanson, a kill by Tara Krull and ace serves by Kaci Arjes and Miller tied the match at 10 before a Lions’ timeout. Out of the break, Krull went kill-block-kill before ending her streak. Krull finished the night with six kills, three blocks and tied for the team lead in assists with Kaci Arjes with 12.

Libero Maci Arjes finished with 28 digs.

The Lions roared out to a 6-0 lead in the fourth set with three kills by Eden and three Bulldog hitting errors. The Lions were also getting breaks with net serves getting a roll over the net and free balls also dropping.

The Bulldogs fell to 6-9 overall, 0-4 in the North Cen-tral Conference with a match against 3A state-ranked Hum-boldt looming. Clear Lake im-proved to 7-11, 1-3 NCC.

No. 2 Lions’ big plays spoil Bulldog

homecomingBY KRISTI NIXON

HAMPTON — The Bulldogs came out with a lot of fire for their home-

coming game, but Class 2A No. 2 Clear Lake had other ideas.

After forcing the Lions to go 3-and-out on their opening pos-session, the visitors returned the favor, benefitted from a re-covery on a punt and then made big play after big play to take the lead for good in an eventual 42-0 win on Friday, Sept. 27.

“Big plays,” Bulldog head coach Andy Bruemmer said. “We had chances for tackles, to stop a big play, somebody would run through two or three arm tackles instead of putting their shoulder in and driving their feet, taking their extra step.

“We were trying to arm tackle and that’s just bad fundamentals.”

A fumble recovery by Jordan Severs on a pass completion from Jaylen DeVries to Jagger Schmitt which was knocked free by Wyatt Sutter, had the Bulldogs’ in good field posi-tion, but they went backwards and were forced to punt, giving the ball back where the Lions scored again.

“(We were looking to) score,” Bruemmer said. “We were looking to score, just didn’t happen tonight. The last couple of home games, we just haven’t had it.

“We’re going to get it turned around and go back to work on Monday.”

Bulldog defensive back Jordan Severs tries to wrap up Clear Lake’s Nick Danielson, who had three touchdown receptions on Friday night. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Second-rankedOsage stops West Fork

OSAGE – Class 2A No. 2 Osage wasted little time in sweeping West Fork at its place on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

The Green Devils held the Warhawks to single digits in two of the three sets, winning 25-8, 25-7, 25-12.

In fact, coach Abbee Dickman’s team managed just four kills against the 16-1 team, two by Emily Caspers.

West Fork was 27-of-27 serving against Osage, but tallied no ace serves. Kalli Trewin and Kylie Laudner each recorded a block and Laudner finished with two assists. Maddie Hubka led the team with six of 15 digs.

The Warhawks fell to 3-6 overall, 2-3 in the Top of Iowa East Conference.

Warhawks top B-K in OTBELMOND – A gutsy

two-point conversion stop in overtime was what West Fork’s football team needed to escape with a 21-20 win at Belmond-Klemme on Friday, Sept. 27.

Ian Latham scored twice and Brett Weaver’s 19-yard touch-down run with six minutes left in regulation with a two-point conversion run by Latham completed the Warhawks’ comeback.

Latham finished with 176 yards rushing for coach James Perez’s team, which improved to 3-2.

“Feels great,” Perez said of the win. “(We) need to keep improving every week in all as-pects of the game like we have the last three weeks and cannot get complacent.”

On the two-point conver-sion attempt, freshman Josiah Chibambo stood up the Bron-cos’ ball carrier, Brett Weaver made the stop and the rest of the Warhawks’ defense rallied to the ball to end it.

Chibambo led West Fork with 9.5 tackles.

Quarterback Kellen Cam-eron completed 50 percent of his passes (5-of-10) for 102 yards, but was intercepted once.

Brayden Vold caught four of his passes for 85 yards.

The Warhawks return home this Friday to take on GTRA (1-4).

Possibilities are endlessBY KRISTI NIXON

RO C K W E L L – Class 1A f if th-ranked West Fork’s top-f ive runners

know they have something special.

Among them, the lone senior Josh Reiter can’t help but be ex-cited about the thought of what the Warhawks can do in the postseason.

All f ive of coach Mark Twedt’s scorers finished among the top-12 at its home meet on Monday, Sept. 23 to easily win the meet with 43 points.

“It’s great,” Reiter said. “We’re all proud of what we can do, when we get there and are the first group of people to pass the line, that’s a great feeling to do it together.”

Ask Reiter and he knows his teammates all finished high and within mere seconds of each other. Jakob Washington was the first Warhawk across the line in 17 minutes, 19.48 seconds. He was followed by Reiter, eighth in 18:05.76; Ren Heimer was ninth, less than two seconds back and both Cail Weaver and Noah Maske were 11-12, respectively, and only three seconds back of Heimer.

“We’re feeling pretty good about that,” Reiter said. “All of our meets, we really don’t have a team to worry about too much.”

The only team, in fact, to give West Fork a battle was a Class 3A team that edged the Warhawks last week at Clear Lake.

“That was fun to give us a challenge,” Reiter said of his team’s first runner-up finish. “(It) makes us run faster, makes us better.”

Forest City’s Joey Hovinga won the meet with a time of 17:06.86 with Lake Mills’ lead runner Carson Rygh not com-peting at the meet.

Reiter has seen the previous state cross country teams at West Fork, the runner-up teams of 2013 and 2014 and he knows that the Warhawks have the po-tential to come close.

“I’m hoping we can cut a bit more time off, get into the 17:40s, possibly,” Reiter said. “Hopefully, (we’ll go to) state and placing high. I think we’re

getting there (to the state-cali-ber level), we have a little bit to go to get there, but I think we’re getting there.”

Meanwhile, the West Fork girls finished runner-up as a team behind state-ranked Ma-son City Newman behind a sec-ond-place individual finish for Kacie Eisentrager.

The sophomore used a strat-egy of sticking behind Class 1A No. 22 Lindsey Davidson for the first mile and a half. Though the eventual winner put dis-tance between her, second place

was Eisentrager’s alone.“I really know that when

I stick with her that I can get a better time and that’s what I’ve been wanting to get this whole year,” Eisentrager said. “And I knew that I really wanted to beat Chloe (Nelson of Mason City Newman) today, so I knew I had to stick with her and I did.”

Davidson won the girls’ title in 20:30 while Eisentrager came across in 21:24. Mycah Weav-er was fourth behind Nelson in 21:58 as the Warhawk girls scored 57 points to finish be-

hind the Lady Knights (31).Also included in coach

Twedt’s team scoring were Jor-dan Swenson (15), RaeLynn Nash (17) and Sydney Nuehring (19).

“I think we need to stay more together as a pack,” Eisentrager said of her team’s chances in the postseason, “if we do that, we’ll be sitting pretty well.”

The West Fork girls’ cross country team takes off from the starting line during the Warhawks’ home meet on Monday, Sept. 23. They are, from left, RaeLynn Nash (back), Mycah Weaver, Kacie Eisentrager and Jordan Swenson. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Christopher Bell to compete in the Cup Series with Leavine Family Racing in 2020Christopher Bell offi cially became the newest young NASCAR talent to sign a deal to race in the sport’s premier series, as Leavine Family Racing announced Tuesday afternoon that Bell will drive the team’s No. 95 Toyota in the NASCAR Cup Series ranks beginning in 2020. Bell is currently a seven-race winner and 2019 championship contender in the NASCAR Xfi nity Series driving the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. His present Xfi nity Series crew chief Jason Ratcliff will retain the same position with Bell at the Cup level with LFR. Bell also brings sponsorship from Rheem and Procure and his new team is already aligned with the Joe Gibbs Racing organization he currently competes with, easing the transition. “It’s kind of like Christmas early,’’ team owner Bob Leavine told the racing media Tuesday. “It’s a pretty special time for LFR. Everyone here … is all excited about our possibilities.’’ Bell, a 24-year-old Oklahoma native, has quickly become one of NASCAR’s next-generation stars. He won fi ve races en route to the 2017 NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series championship and then won seven races in his fi rst full Xfi nity Series season while fi nishing fourth in the 2018 championship standings. His move to the Cup ranks this season was seen as inevitable by most racing insiders.

Chase Elliott rallied through the fi eld to win the Bank of America Roval 400 Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Elliott scored his third win of the season and his second on a road course. He won at Watkins Glen International earlier this summer. Elliott led a banner day for Hendrick Motorsports as teammates Alex Bowman fi nished second, William Byron sixth and Jimmie Johnson ninth. Ryan Newman, Aric Almirola, Kurt Busch and Erik Jones were eliminated from championship contention.

The Drydene 400 is the fourth race in the NASCAR Cup Series’ Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. In 2020, the race will be removed from the NASCAR playoffs and be held as the penultimate race of the regular season. Dover International Speedway, nicknamed “The Monster Mile”, was built in 1969 by Melvin Joseph of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company, Inc., with an asphalt surface, but was replaced with concrete in 1995. Six years later in 2001, the track’s capacity moved to 135,000 seats. Twice a year, they pack the stands to watch the drivers of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series battle fender to fender for victory.

of IF-A/AGWSR turned in an-other impressive performance, beating Humboldt’s Bryce Gidel by more than a minute to win the Humboldt cross country meet on Monday, Sept. 24.

She was the only runner to break into the 19-minute region at 19:35.67 to lead the Cadets to fourth place as a team (143).

The Bulldogs didn’t fare as well, running to 17th out of 17 teams with 451 team points. The first across for coach Traci Moorehead’s team was Sydney Buseman, who finished 42nd in 24:23.16.

DeVries, a Southern Illinois University commit, was 16-of-29 passing for 305 yards and six touchdowns. His primary target, Nick Danielson, caught seven passes for 114 yards and three of the scores.

The Bulldogs have now faced both the second- and third-ranked teams in the state (Algona and Clear Lake) and Bruemmer says both are worthy of their accolades.

“They’re both very good football teams,” Bruemmer said. “I think we had a shot at both of them, but we didn’t play well enough in either one and that’s my fault, that’s on me. It’s my job to get my kids ready to play and the defense wasn’t re-ally ready.

“Offensively, we’ll figure it out. We have to do it consistent-ly. We were consistent last week (against Clarion-Goldfield), we were good, we blocked the right guys. This week, we have to go over the film and see what we’re doing. We’ll go back and cor-rect it.”

More and more players for the Bulldogs went to the sideline after being dinged up through-out the course of the game to add to those who have been out for at least a few weeks.

“We’ve got a lot of dinged up kids,” Bruemmer said. “It’s the middle of the season, we’re going to have the little “owies.” We’ve got some other injuries that are handled correctly. We don’t want to hurry them back too fast.”

However, on the good news front, the Bulldogs saw the return of senior Matt Wad-dingham, who saw late action, carrying the ball twice for 11 yards.

“He got medically cleared last week,” Bruemmer said. “When he brought me the slip from the doctor, I went, ‘wow’. Didn’t know that was going to happen.”

Sophomore quarterback Cal Heeren was sacked eight times for negative-65 yards, leaving the Bulldogs with negative-23 total rushing yards and a net of 10 with Heeren’s 33 yards passing.

Next up for the Bulldogs is Forest City on the road this Fri-day night. The Indians are also 1-4 with their only win also over CGD.

“I’ll design a plan for next week’s practices and get ready for Forest City film,” Bruem-mer said.
