Sticky situation Reynolds gets grilled on eminent domain

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

What about Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and his recent support of eminent domain?

It was the first question asked during a Clarke County town hall meeting with Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds Tuesday, Nov. 3, and Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC).

According to the Des Moines Register, on Monday, Nov. 2, Branstad said he supports the use of eminent domain in some circumstances for pipeline projects, and he’ll let the Iowa Utilities Board decide whether eminent domain is justified for the proposed Bakken pipeline through Iowa.

This has ruffled a few feathers in Clarke County because of its own issue with eminent domain in the process of building a res-

ervoir in northern Clarke County. Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for public use by a state.

Reynolds’ response “First of all, it’s a decision that the utility board and that legislation was passed, I think, in 2006, and he truly believes that they’re the ones that need to make the decision,” Reynolds said. “… He said eminent domain needs to be used very judiciously and sparingly, and it should be for the public good.”

Helen Kimes, president of CCDC’s Board of Directors, mentioned the recent state legislation on eminent domain that was passed this summer, which setback the progress with Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC).

The recent Iowa law on eminent domain created language that changed the law on use of eminent domain for the creation of public water supply surface

water reservoirs throughout the state.

“I know you’re a proponent of ours, and I understand that,” Kimes said.

“But, I guess, the community needs to know where we go because we’re just kind of addling here to try to move forward.”

Reynolds, who is from Osceola, reiterated eminent domain was a tough issue and must be done carefully and judiciously when implemented.

“The goal should be not to have to use it, I mean,” Reynolds said. “But, it’s just a reality that if we’re going to have roads and water and infrastructure, (then) that’s a necessary part of that. But, we need to be narrow in scope in how we use it.”

New legislation questions Dr. Jim Kimball, vice president of CCDC Board of Directors, said the recent eminent domain legislation seems to directly target Clarke County, and

if that legislation was unconstitutional, then the next step could be taking it to the courts.

“At some point, I think, this probably will get challenged in the courts, would be my guess,” Reynolds said.

She said the situation is limited on who can challenge the legislation because there needs to be an individual who has been impacted unfairly.

“I think we’re sort of on hold right now waiting to see what the engineers and planners can come up with a plan for the reservoir that would exclude the people and eminent domain wouldn’t have to be used,” Kimball said.

“That would be awesome,” Reynolds said in response. “ … Every time there’s a delay, there’s a cost. And, so, you want to get it right, but I just feel like the same questions have been answered and answered and answered.”

“A lot of the driving force behind it (the move) is people were having a hard time affording health care, and so, we’re trying to figure out a better way of providing cheaper health care for the individual,” said owner Travis Krutsinger, who purchased the business in 2006.

Clarke County updating its plan – desires ideas from the public Clarke County Board of Supervisors has authorized the zoning department to update the existing comprehensive plan for Clarke County.

The current plan is 20 years old and does not meet current Iowa Code standards.

A comprehensive plan looks at the relevant features of the county and the issues the county is newly facing or is likely in the near future to face. The plan’s topics include things such as land use, housing, economic development, agriculture and financing.

The plan will conclude with a set of goals and projects for the next 20 years. It will also provide policies and maps to guide the updating and implementation of the zoning ordinance.

The county has hired the Southern Iowa Council of Governments (SICOG) of

Creston to begin work on this project.

The zoning department and SICOG will also be hosting a one-hour community meeting for this project. It will be held 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at the Clarke County Courthouse conference room in Osceola.

At this meeting meeting, a discussion will be held to gain more ideas. A few public participation activities will occur to get people thinking more about the future of the county and what vision should be put in place for the county.

There is no cost and no need to RSVP. This meeting is open to all residents and people who have an interest in the county.

Contact Jeremy Rounds or Chris Lee at 641-782-8491 with any questions about the meeting and survey.

STING: Continued from Page 1

Duffus said this human trafficking sting was conducted because of Osceola’s proximity in location to Des Moines, Kansas City and Omaha, as well as how easy travel can be on Interstate 35.

Duffus pointed out those charged in the sting were mostly from the Des Moines area.

“What we learned by this was given all the modes of transportation to our area and the number of transient people; prostitution and human trafficking, it’s something that is from outside our area, and it’s not a huge problem, but it’s certainly is one that’s there,” Duffus said. “We want to protect our businesses and our citizens.”

Another factor in the sting was the police department had seen a few postings on various social media sites, including Craigslist. Duffus said the light social media traffic is not all of what drew law enforcement to doing the sting, but it certainly added to it.

“Even though it’s light, (hopefully), it won’t come back,” he said.

All those charged were held at Clarke County Law Enforcement Center.

“We’re in front of it and we’re watching,” Duffus said.

Law enforcement agencies involved in the sting were Osceola Police Department, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, Iowa Division of Intelligence and Clarke County Sheriff’s Office.

Additional key support in the investigation was provided by Adams County Sheriff’s Office, Buena Vista County Sheriff’s Office, Manchester Police Department and Iowa State Patrol.

Duffus said he wanted to extend a thank you to the other agencies involved and giving manpower to help in the sting.

“We needed personnel that no one around us knows,” he said. “We reached out and the agencies stepped up and we appreciate that.”

PHYSICAL THERAPY: Continued from Page 1

“So, here, we have a copayment situation versus down where we used to be, it was deductible-based.”

In addition to Krutsinger, Professional Physical Therapy Services has two physical therapists — Dr. Laura Walter and Dr. Stormy Wilson — as well as physical therapist assistant Callie Davis and office manager Amanda Buttz.

The business offers flexible hours if people have a hard time with the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekday hours.

There is also a fitness center in the building, which is open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. The fitness center isn’t just for patients. It is open to the public.

“It’s the longest running fitness center in town. We’ve been open since 1993,” Krutsinger said.

According to Krutsinger, the types of physical therapy that Professional Physical Therapy Services offers is broad.

They specialize in rehabilitation,

work injuries, joint pain, arthritic pain and offer physical capacity profile testing for employers. New services that are offered are drug screening and dry needling. Also, the business offers some in-home therapy if a nursing agency isn’t required.

“We’re wide open. We do orthopedics, wound care, ergonomic assessments,” Krutsinger said.

Grand opening While the business has already had a “soft opening,” a grand opening was held Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Krutsinger said he is excited for the business to be located near the square in Osceola.

“A lot of people have really liked the easy accessibility to their homes or work. A lot of people work up around the square,” he said. “The atmosphere is different. So, they walk in here and a lot of the patients have commented that it’s just a lot more relaxed atmosphere.”

Clarke County Historical Society solving. Suspicion first fell on

Thirty-year-old Mary Gilfillan left Illinois to start a new life away from a cruel marriage.

Leaving two older children behind, Mary and her infant son moved to Osceola in mid-November 1896. She first worked as a domestic on the John “Doc” Wolverton farm keeping company with one of Doc’s sons, Joe. Mary found a job as a waitress at the Howe Hotel (later Garner Hotel). On Dec. 26, she told other employees she was meeting Joe that night at the pump house near the pond that supplied water to the CB&Q steam engines (Q Pond). Mary did not return from her assignation.

On Dec. 27, a railroad employee went to the pump house for tools and discovered a young woman dead on the floor, hands smeared in blood with a bullet hole in the temple.

Some accounts say she was shot six times. The body was identified as Mary.

National Hospice Month scheduled November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to raise awareness that hospice isn’t about resignation and defeat — it’s about families actively taking hold of what time is left.

Most people aren’t fully aware of the support hospice can provide to patients of all ages living with a variety of serious illnesses, as well as to their families. And from those who do receive hospice care, the most common statement hospice providers hear is, “We wish we had called hospice sooner.”

Many patients, families and even doctors turn away from or delay seeking hospice care services, and many regret that decision.

“Waiting to make the call to hospice is an unfortunate trend hospice providers are seeing across the nation,” said Sandra Mason, RN, CHPN, with HCI Hospice Care Services. “It’s a real tragedy, because we can do so much more to support both the patient and the family, such as helping patients cross things off their bucket lists, conducting life reviews, honoring Veterans with special ceremonies and creating meaningful memories, when people take full advantage of the hospice benefit.”

Under Medicare, hospice is a six-

month benefit. However, many believe hospice is a place to go when they only have weeks or even days to live. Hospice is not about ending medical care.

Hospice is care intended to harness everything modern medicine has to offer to achieve better quality of life, dignity and comfort. The goal is the amplification of living, not about resignation to dying. Skilled and compassionate doctors, nurses, hospice aides, social workers, spiritual care counselors, bereavement counselors and volunteers all work together to redefine hope and to help people live better and to live life to the very fullest.

“If your loved one’s illness seems to be getting worse, if everyday activities are becoming more difficult, if your loved one is losing weight, eating less or going to the hospital more frequently, don’t wait; call hospice,” Mason said.

Anyone can call HCI Hospice Care Services at 641-342-2888 for information or to simply talk with a nurse.

If the time is right for hospice, loved ones will be surrounded by care, with medical supplies and equipment delivered to the home, medications covered, pain and symptoms managed and with quality of life as the top priority.

Look between the two males standing in the wagon and notice a bay window on the north side of a building on West Jefferson Street (south side of the square), which is owned today by Dr. Bruce Harris. The date and names of those in the picture are unknown. The courthouse was built in 1892 and the streets were paved with brick in 1907.

Reynoldson becomes president of Iowa Legal Aid Board Iowa Legal Aid’s Board of Directors, at its annual meeting held earlier this year, elected Elisabeth Reynoldson, a lawyer in Osceola, to serve as president of the board.

Reynoldson has demonstrated a long-term commitment to the work of Iowa Legal Aid, beginning her service as a volunteer attorney with Iowa Legal Aid’s Volunteer Lawyers Project in 1996.

Last year, almost 5,000 Iowans attended these seminars.

Iowa Legal Aid also has educational materials posted on its website, iowalegalaid.org.

Since Iowa Legal Aid was founded, hundreds of thousands of Iowans have been provided hope, dignity and justice through the efforts of Iowa Legal Aid’s Board, staff and volunteers.

BBQ MEATBALL ONION BOMBS: 1 pound ground beef/Italian sausage mixed 2 yellow onions 1 pound bacon 1/4 C each - chopped parsley, mushrooms and onion 1 T ketchup (used BBQ sauce instead) 1 tsp each - soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce 1 T each - brown sugar and rub 1/4 C Panko bread crumbs Directions: Cut tops and bottoms off

onions, slice onions in half and peel apart. Keep the biggest layer for “stuffing” but not the tough outer layer.

Set onion shells aside. Mix one pound of beef/sausage mixture, diced onion, parsley and mushrooms, as well as spices, condiments and bread crumbs; mix by hand.

Take a small handful of meat and place inside onion shell, press to together to seal meat inside onion.

Number will depend on size of onions.

Wrap about three slices of bacon around each bomb, depending on size and secure with toothpicks. Place bombs in smoker at 225 degrees for one hour, raise temp to 350 degrees and cook 20-30 min more. Internal temp should be 160-165. The last 10 min or so, put BBQ sauce over bombs and let caramelize.

St. Bernard Catholic Church

It was once said some theologians of the Middle Ages spent their time arguing about how many angels could fit on the head of a pin. Probably that was a derogatory way of evaluating the overall worth of their usual pursuits. At any rate, the energy and direction of Pope Francis, my “boss”, have certainly been in an opposite trajectory — for which I thank God. Since Francis was the first bishop from the southern hemisphere to be chosen to lead the Catholic Church, it was logical to assume that his interests and concerns would be different from someone from Europe or the United States.

Coming from Argentina and having thrown himself into the lives of his people, he became acutely aware of the pain of poverty and oppression. No one expected, however, the sort of enlivening spirit he brought to Rome.

Pope Francis has a highly educated and well-trained mind. His approach to his work has hardly been academic, though. He has written “The Joy of the Gospel,” which invites the reader to sink himself or herself into the person of Christ — and to follow him. That encounter with Jesus, he believes, should lead us to live as the Lord lived and love as he did. There is much to be done, not just talked about.

When Francis addressed the Congress of the United States recently in Washington, D.C., he offered four Americans as examples of the qualities needed by us today. Two were quite familiar figures: Abraham Lincoln and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. They are symbols of freedom and human rights worldwide.

His other examples, however, were two Catholic figures from the past who are not necessarily familiar even to most J.R. Wheeler, pastor, 641-3423121. Sunday - 9:00 a.m. God’s Service. 10:15 a.m. - Sunday School. Wednesday - 7:30 p.m. Elders & Deacons meeting.

Catholics. The first was Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement in New York. She was a passionate champion for the downtrodden who offered them shelter and basic necessities at Worker houses. But, she and others in the movement also sought basic changes in society which would alleviate the suffering of people.

Day marched for the rights of workers and protested the Cold War arms race, which bled the world’s resources. She also challenged religious leaders to get their own priorities straight and truly proclaim Jesus’ Gospel for the least of God’s children.

The fourth figure, Thomas Merton, was also one who challenged the perceptions of the times. A monk from Gethsemane Abbey in Kentucky, he was a prolific spiritual writer who saw the importance and possibilities in dialogue with those who had different ideas and different faiths.

He corresponded with political and faith leaders of many nations. Merton died accidentally in Asia on a trip to visit with Buddhist monks in the Far East. Francis lifted him up as an inspiration for desperately-needed dialogue and understanding in our day.

Although Pope Francis heads the Catholic Church, his concerns and his wisdom transcend the various boxes in which we put ourselves and others. We share the same planet, air and water as well as the same Creator.

Francis most likely is not familiar with another American of the past, but Benjamin Franklin once wrote, “We must hang together or we will all hang separately.” He spoke in a different context, but the message remains consistent for every age.

Osceola Water Works Board welcomes Bishop Osceola Water Works Board would like to announce and welcome the latest addition to the team, Larry K. Bishop. His appointment started Nov. 5 and he replaced the outgoing Ryan Rychnovsky.

Bishop’s biography/position statement Background: I was born and raised in Norwalk, graduated from Norwalk Community Schools in 1967 and then continued my education at United Electronics Institute located in West Des Moines, graduating in 1969. During this time, I

married my wife Ruth in the spring of 1968.

After graduating, I went to work at Bishop Texas Instruments located in Houston, Texas, designing and testing electronic systems for airborne radar units for the United States Army.

During this time, we had two sons, Timothy in 1969 and Marcus in 1971. At the conclusion of the Vietnam War,

I left Texas Instruments and joined Honeywell in their MICRO SWITCH division located in Freeport, Ill. I had various jobs while at Honeywell, from an electronic technician in the solid state keyboard group, and quality engineer in the automotive and commercial pressure sensor group, moving into the product management (marketing), then as an application engineer and then moving into the special product management group.

I was in Honeywell 37 years, and at this time, they moved all of the engineering jobs

to Bangalore, India, and my employment was over with at Honeywell. During this time, our family grew with two daughter-in-law’s and five grandsons.

Five months later, I was hired by a small Pressure Sensor, Incremental Encoder and Position Sensor firm as their regional sales manager covering all of the Midwest states. I held this position for seven years until my retirement in January 2015.

I have since been employed by Jackson Roofing and Construction located in Osceola as their project en-

gineer.

I have an avocation of officiating high school sports working football (42 years) and basketball (41 years) with additional sports in high school and College for softball, baseball and soccer.

Serving on water board Since my wife and I have lived in the Osceola area for the past six years, I have seen firsthand the infrastructure weakness of the water resource area and the citywide water system. Water is very important for everyday use and survival. My feeling is, with my prior en-

gineering background, I can contribute to improvising the infrastructure, the many uses of the system we have today and what can be done to provide clean water in a very reliable way. Security of the water shed is something we should be considering as well in today’s climate of unrest.

For more information on Bishop’s appointment or on the Osceola Water Works Board, contact Osceola Water Works Superintendent Brandon Patterson at 614342-1435, or email OsceolaWater2@Windstream.net.

Truro native coaches STAC to win over D-I St. John’s

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

NEW YORK — Division II basketball teams knocking off Division I powers in preseason exhibition games has become more common in recent years.

Teams such as Syracuse and Memphis have fallen victim to their Division II counterparts in recent years and Iowa lost to Division II Augustana on Saturday.

Add St. John’s University to the list, as well.

The Red Storm opened the Chris Mullin era with a 90-58 loss to St. Thomas Aquinas College in a Nov. 4 exhibition game here.

St. Thomas Aquinas College is coached by Tobin Anderson, a Truro native and 1990 graduate of Interstate 35 High School.

“It was a big one,” Anderson said with a laugh. “Pretty exciting. We played well and beating a Big East team was obviously a big thing. It was fun. Doesn’t happen all the time.”

St. Thomas Aquinas College competed well against the Red Storm in an exhibition game last year, charging to an early nine-point lead before falling by a 97-71 score.

With St. John’s holding an early 5-4 lead on Nov. 4, the Spartans went on a 14-0 run over a span of 3:24 and never looked back.

The Spartans held a 50-34 lead at halftime on 61.8 percent shooting from the floor.

St. Thomas Aquinas’ fullcourt pressing style wreaked havoc on a St. John’s team comprised of seven seniors and only five upperclassmen.

The Spartans forced 27 turnovers and scored 32 points off turnovers in the win. By comparison, St. Thomas Aquinas committed just 14 turnovers and had 16 assists. The Spartans also outrebounded the Red Storm 43-41. St. Thomas Aquinas outscored St. John’s in the paint, 48-20.

“I think it was a combination of things. We have a good core group of guys back from last year. We start four sophomores so we’re still young, but they all played last year. St. John’s is coming in with an all new group,” Anderson said.

“The difference of talent between good Division II teams a low Division I team

Anderson is getting smaller. Our guys can compete against Division I teams. I think St. John’s is in a rebuilding stage. We play a style that’s hard to play against. We press for 40 minutes. If you’re not ready to play, our guys can jump on you. It became a good night for us and a bad night for them.”

Jonathan Lawton drilled a 3-pointer with 13:23 left in the game to give St. Thomas Aquinas a 65-44 lead and the Red Storm never got within 20 points of the Spartans the rest of the game.

Justin Reyes led St. Thomas Aquinas with a game-high 25 points and 12 rebounds, while East Coast Conference preseason Player of the Year Chaz Watler added 18 points. James Mitchell scored 13 points in the win.

Mitchell and Watler each finished with four steals and Mitchell dished out seven assists.

“We press for 40 minutes.

We do it every game for 40 minutes,” Anderson said.

“Once you turn them over a couple of times, teams sometimes get on their heels a little bit. That fed into us being more aggressive.”

Freshman guard Federico Mussini led St. John’s with 16 points. Christian Jones added 13 points and 11 rebounds off the bench.

“You have to give the other team a lot of credit,” Mullin said after the loss.

“They played hard, they played together and aggressive. This will be a tremendous teaching tool. A lot of our guys have not played in a college basketball game, and we tried to emulate that in practice and the scrimmage, but it’s different. We have to learn from this.”

Mullin is a Hall of Famer and was a star for St. John’s during his college playing days, before playing for the

Golden State Warriors in the NBA. He was part of the first Dream Team. Mullin is in his first season as head coach of the Red Storm.

The win over St. John’s was an attention-grabber for St. Thomas Aquinas College. Anderson said his team has received media attention from ESPN and Sports Illustrated.

“It’s great to win a game like that and it’s amazing the support we’ve had,” he said.

“As a Division II school, you’re dying for that attention. It’s good for us to get a little bit of notoriety.”

The win has also brought his team closer together as it prepares to open the regular season at home Saturday against St. Michael’s. The Spartans then host Saint Anselm on Sunday.

“It’s funny, we knew we had a chance to be pretty good this year. We’d been practicing OK, but not great.

We scrimmaged a Division II team and played well. Since that win (over St. John’s), it’s kind of like our guys now, they believe now we can be pretty good,” Anderson said.

“There’s been a little more energy, little more togetherness, more toughness. You can see the potential there to be pretty good. We’ve had great practices. Going into the season, some people worry about being overconfident. I don’t think that’s

the case. There’s a lot more energy.”

Anderson is the son of former Interstate 35 head boys basketball coach Steve Anderson, who coached the Roadrunners to the 1987 Raccoon River Conference title and then five straight Pride of Iowa Conference titles from 1990-1994. He also led the Roadrunners to the state tournament in 1987 and 1990.

After graduating from Interstate 35 in 1990, Anderson went on to Wesleyan University in Connecticut and has stayed on the East coast ever since, with coaching stints at Hamilton College

and Clarkson University as a head coach and Division I Siena College as an assistant coach. He also assisted at LeMoyne College for two years and at Clarkson College for one year.

Interstate 35 will be hosting a dinner at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 to honor coach Steve Anderson. All current and former players, parents, managers, fans and community members are invited to attend the dinner, which will be held in the Interstate 35 High School commons. Following the dinner, the Roadrunners host Southeast Warren in a girls and boys varsity doubleheader, with the girls

game beginning at 6:15 p.m. and the boys game following at about 7:30 p.m.

Anderson, who was assisted by his father Steve for seven years at Hamilton, said he will return home for the dinner.

“We get that weekend off.

We planned it that way, so we’re going to come back for the banquet,” he said. “We’ll fly back that day and have dinner and watch the I-35 team play. Coach (Nate) Rankin has done a good job. He’s got a lot of wins and they should be good this year.”

Anderson and his wife Jodi have two children, Bryce (7) and Alexa (3).

Something for Everyone on Your List.

Houchins dominates at Grand View Open DES MOINES — Topranked Grand View University opened its 2015-16 season here Saturday with the GV Open.

The Vikings dominated the Open Division, placing 16 in the top five and crowning four champions.

Senior Dallas Houchins of Wooburn, a graduate of Interstate 35, claimed the 165-pound title for the Vikings.

Houchins won a 13-4 major decision in his first match over Cooper Self of Midland University. He

then rolled up a 23-6 technical fall over Johnny Hopper of William Penn in the quarterfinals.

T h e G r a n d View senior won a 17-0 technical fall over Concordia’s Tom- Houchins my Bailey in the semifinals and then knocked off Spencer Derifield of Division I South Dakota State in the finals

by a 6-0 decision.

Other champions for the Vikings in the Open Division were junior Andrew Long of Creston at 141 pounds, Michael Pixley of Granite City, Ill., at 184 pounds and Dean Broghammer of Manchester at 285 pounds. Long and Pixley both competed unattached.

Grand View returns to action on Saturday with two different events — The Dakota Wesleyan Open in Mitchell, S.D., and the Harold Nichols/Cyclone Open in Ames.

ISU’s Niang named AP preseason All-American AMES — Iowa State senior Georges Niang has been named an Associated Press Preseason All-American, announced Monday by the organization. Also on the team are Kyle Wiltjer (Gonzaga), Buddy Hield (Oklahoma), Kris Dunn (Providence) and Ben Simmons (LSU).

The Cyclone forward is the school’s first preseason All-American since Jamaal Tinsley in 2000.

Niang, a Methuen, Massachusetts, native, earned a spot on the top team after averaging 15.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season. He was one of just two players in the nation 6-8 or taller to average at least 15.0 points and 3.0 assists in 2014-15.

Niang enters his final season as a Cyclone with 1,510 career points, which is fifth among active Division I players. He is the only player nationally with

1,500 points, 450 rebounds and 300 assists, earning All-America honors from The Associated Press and National Association of Basketball Coaches in 2014-15.

Niang had 11 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in 23 minutes in Iowa State’s exhibition win against Grand Valley State. The Cyclones open the regular season Friday against Colorado in Sioux Falls, S.D.

NEIGHBORS/NEWS

Toys for Christmas program information The annual Clarke County Toys for Christmas program began in 1969 with local attorney Larry VanWerden when he realized there would be some children who would not have presents at Christmas time.

Since then, volunteers have organized and made the program an annual event. The program serves low income Clarke County families with children up to age 16 residing in their home.

The program works with the SCICAP Community Center, Clarke and Murray Community Schools, Parents As Teachers program, Head Start and other agencies who make referrals of families they feel need the program.

The Toys for Christmas program works closely with other agencies in order to

have a single program within the county. Families are asked to complete an application for the program. The Marines do have a Toys for Tots Program, however those items have not come back to Clarke County.

The program relies on individual and business donations of cash, new clothing and new toys.

Some individual families and businesses, as well as churches, adopt families to purchase the gifts for.

To date, 27 churches, businesses and individuals have signed up to adopt families this year. The program has received a donation of more than 100 new coats from the Rotary.

Some local merchants offer a discount for purchased items. Hormel is a supporter of the project and donates hams to be

given to each family. The program has no administrative costs and is manned entirely by volunteers. Osceola Senior Center allows the use of its facility to house the program. SCICAP Community Center Coordinator Janie Hatfield is a huge help with coordinating the program.

Last year, the program served 126 families, which represented 316 children.
