LATANYA'S STORY On December 7, 1973, Latanya Smith was born to her unwed 15-year-old mother, Bernice Wiley, and spent the first three years of her life happily living with her grandmother. In December of 1976, Latanya was taken to the hospital by her grandmother with bruises and other injuries. After an investigation of the incident, Latanya was placed back into the custody of her grandmother while Bernice, her mother went through counseling, yet there was no counseling for Charles Johnson, the mother’s boyfriend and the man who had beaten the three-year-old girl. On January 17, 1977, Bernice completed her counseling, and Latanya was placed back into her custody. Although no one can ever know the pain three-year-old Latanya may have endured, we do know that on February 14, 1977, Latanya was pronounced dead from physical abuse. It took three weeks for Charles Johnson and Bernice Wiley to end the life of the little girl. Latanya’s case went to the grand jury, where we then learned that Latanya had been beaten, burned and bitten by Charles, her fingers were pinched with pliers, and she had been beaten with a broom so badly that the broom broke into pieces. We learned, that an autopsy completed after death, showed that her tissues were saturated with blood, and that she had died from internal hemorrhaging caused by abuse. We learned that, at the age of three, Latanya had lost the will to live. Bernice had been so afraid of losing her boyfriend that she did nothing to stop the abuse and Charles actually took pleasure in the pain inflicted upon Latanya, as she was another man’s child. Three members of the Jury and other concerned community members were so moved by Latanya’s case, that the Council was formed. We are an EEO employer.

Founded in 1947 by Cecil King, King Construction has grown from a company specializing in agricultural grain bins and buildings to one recognized throughout central Iowa as a leader in commercial, agricultural, industrial, and residential building design and construction. Headquartered in Iowa Falls, Iowa, for nearly 70 years, with just four different ownerships, our company has successfully partnered with thousands of businesses, farmers, non-profit organizations and private property owners to help provide them achieve their building goals and dreams. In the mid 1970’s, upon Cecil’s retirement the business was acquired by Laverne Sharar and the King Construction tradition continued on under his direction. Laverne’s also owned Ackerman’s, a lumber yard based in Alden, IA, and during his tenure, King Construction began doing carpentry projects to compliment both businesses and utilize carpentry crews. In the late 1980’s Kevin Knutson purchased the business from Laverne Sharar, and the business continued to flourish. Kevin added an Overhead Door Division to the company and maintained the King Construction and Overhead Door tradition. During the summer of 1997, the current owners, Lance and Lincoln Sharar, purchased the business. Their vision was to continue the long lasting reputation of King Construction and also to grow the business serving extended clientele in central Iowa. In 2011, King’s opened a second location in Clear Lake, Iowa to better serve the North Central Iowa area. Most recently, in 2014 a location in Coralville, Iowa, to serve a growing customer base in the Southeast Iowa.
