Democratic Judge takes aim for Grassley during campaign stop

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Patty Judge isn’t afraid to go head-to-head with longtime incumbent U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Judge said she has known Grassley for a long time and has worked closely with him.

She has seen him move further and further to the political right as his caucus has moved the same way.

Grassley, 82, has been in Washington, D.C., for more than four decades.

Recently, Grassley has been in some political hot water. As chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, he has been withholding the president’s nomination of moderate Judge Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“If he hasn’t gotten the job done by now, it’s probably time for him to come home, mow the lawn in New Hartford and let someone else do it,” Judge said during a campaign stop in Osceola Thursday, June 16.

‘Lock down’ Law enforcement was on the scene until approximately 4:30 p.m. Monday.

The intersection of Highway 69 and the train depot was Duffus closed or on “lock down” during those afternoon hours for the investigation.

The incident is currently under investigation by the police department and Iowa State Patrol.

Duffus said it appears Shear walked in front of the BNSF train. There were also items left at the scene that law enforcement gathered for the investigation.

A train fatality involving an Osceola teen occurred Monday, June 20.

Jeffrey Shear Jr., 15, stepped in front of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) train at Osceola’s train depot in the center of town.

Law enforcement received a call about the incident at 12:18 p.m.

Osceola Police Department, Clarke County Sheriff’s Office, Osceola Fire Department and ambulance responded to the accident.

There has been speculation the incident was a suicide.

“I’ve not ruled it that way yet, but that’s certainly a possibility. I’m going to wait and hear what the state (medi- Grief counseling cal examiner) has to say,” said Osceola Shear was a student at Clarke ComPolice Chief Marty Duffus. munity School District.

Community Middle School Monday evening and Tuesday from 9 a.m. until noon.

Duffus said he wanted to commend the school district for being proactive with the situation for students and adults.

“Even as early as Monday night when they started offering counseling, there were several people taking advantage of it. I was glad to see that,” he said.

According to Duffus, these type of train fatalities don’t happen in Osceola as often as they could.

“I wish it never happened, but we do have between 50 and 60 trains a day through here,” he said. “Whether it’s intentional or accidental, either one, we have a lot of propensity for this to happen. It’s not my first one here ... but we approach it everyday that it will never happen again, knowing full well we’re probably wrong.”

This year, it was listed as a top 20 critical access hospital for quality care and patient satisfaction. But, that is only part of the story.

Clarke County Hospital has established an industry standard for providing leading edge health care in a personalized, compassionate environment. And, this has been accomplished while reducing the hospital’s reliance on tax dollars since 2005 by 26.4 percent. Incredible.

We applaud you and the outstanding leadership team you recruited for creating this great hospital. The recently completed 63,000-square-

foot, patient care-focused addition to Clarke County Hospital is one of the most visible accomplishments of chief executive officer Brian Evans and the dedicated board of trustees led by board chair Don Waltz.

But, it is the people who make this hospital exceptional. Thanks to the efforts of many, patients are the center of a unified health care delivery system centered on wellness, early detection of health problems and coordinated treatment.

The combination of technology and team of experts found at Clarke County Hospital is uncommon in a community of almost any size.

For more than 63 years, the staff of Clarke County Hospital has served with unwavering dedication. We salute all of the former and current employees and volunteers for their service to their fellow man.

We at UnityPoint Health – Des Moines are proud to be affiliated with Clarke County Hospital. Congratulations to Brian Evans and the people of Clarke County Hospital for setting a shining example of what is possible in modern health care.

Another drastically changed design feature was the volume of the available water supply volume, measured in acres-feet. The original design had 11,780 acres-feet. The new modified design has 3,850 acres-feet.

​Provisions you need to know

By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us

The governor signed into law all of the managed care oversight provisions that were put into the House’s health and human services budget bill. A summary of the new oversight language is below: The DHS is required to submit to the chairs and ranking members of the human resources committees of the House and Senate and to the chairs and ranking members of the HHS budget subcommittee quarterly reports and an annual report regarding consumer protection, outcome achievement, and program integrity in the Medicaid program.

The HHS budget sub is required to dedicate one meeting per year to review this data.

Consumer protection — The consumer protection report to the legislature shall be based on the following reports on provider and member services: • Member enrollment and disenrollment • Member grievances and appeals • Member call center performance Outcome achievement — The focus of the Legislature in moving to managed care is to improve the quality of care and outcomes for Medicaid members. The outcome achievement reports to the legislature have to include the following reports related to health outcomes and contract management: • Percentage of claims paid and denied • Managed care organization capitation payments • The medical loss ration • Managed care savings Program integrity — Under managed care, federal, state

JOEL FRY

and contractual safeguards will continue to be incorporated to prevent and eliminate fraud, waste abuse in the Medicaid program. The program integrity report given to the legislature will include information on the following: • The level of fraud, waste, and abuse identified by the MCOs • A summary report by the insurance division related to the MCO licensure status and audit.

Other oversight entities — The DHS council, Medical Assistance Advisory council, Hawk-I board, MHDS commission and Office of Long-Term Care Ombudsman shall regularly review managed care and how it impacts their groups and submit summaries of pertinent information to DHS to be included in the legislative report.

The DHS council, MAAC, and Hawk-I board are required to submit to the chairs and ranking members the minutes of their meetings related to managed care.

The DHS director shall submit the compilation of recommendations from stakeholders and Medicaid members to the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate human resources committee and the

HHS budget sub.

DHS shall ensure that MCOs comply with all the following: • Continue a member’s benefits during an appeals process • MCOS shall allow providers to appeal on a member’s behalf MCOs shall, at the request of a member, attempt to negotiate in good faith a single-case agreement with a recipient’s out-of-network provider, including a provider outside of the state.

The health policy oversight committee will meet at least two times a year during the interim to provide continuing oversight for managed care and to ensure effective and efficient administration of the program, address stakeholder concerns, monitor program costs and expenditures and make recommendations.

This bill expands the authority of the office of the long-term care ombudsman and appropriates an additional $100,000 for one new ombudsman position.

The bill adds 10 public members to the MAAC. It also adds a member of the Hawk-I board to the MAAC and the LongTerm Care Ombudsman’s office. It also adds a member of the public as a co-chairperson of the council.

The DHS director shall make recommendations to the governor for appointment of public representatives to the MAAC and fill them no later than June 30, 2016. The MAAC executive committee will continue to meet across the state with stakeholders and get feedback. They will meet six times in 2017.

The bill includes occupational therapy as a covered service under the Hawk-I program. The Hawk-I Board shall monitor the capacity of the MCOs to specifically and appropriately address the unique needs to children and children’s health delivery.

Big Creek Farms field day will focus on cut-flower production June 23 LAMONI —Diversifying a farm’s enterprises is an important way to increase resiliency over the longterm. When thinking of enterprises to add, however, cut flowers probably don’t rank high, if at all. But Chad Hensley said local cut-flower production is a niche with a lot of potential.

“Local flowers are just taking off, and I think will grow as local food becomes more mainstream,” Hensley said, who raises cut flowers at Big Creek Farms with his wife, Katie, near Lamoni.

“There’s definitely some education to do – people have no idea the chemicals they are breathing in deeply that are on those pretty, conventional flowers.”

They invite farmers and the public to learn more about all aspects of cut-flower production at a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day they are hosting 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday, June 23, in Lamoni.

The event – “Cut Flowers: Production, Handling,

Marketing and More” – is free to attend, and will take place at 30608 South Smith St., just south of Graceland University. Attendees are asked to bring their own lawn chairs.

They will share details about starting a cut-flower operation, including production considerations such as variety selection, seeding, production scheduling, tools, rotations and more.

Guests will also learn about post-harvest handling; marketing considerations, avenues and challenges; and high tunnel flower production.

Experienced cut-flower farmer Ann Franzenburg, who operates Pheasant Run Farm near Van Horne, will discuss additional marketing and production options, and offer suggestions for the Hensleys’ operation.

The Hensleys raise cut flowers on 1.5 acres. They also specialize in heirloom, open-pollinated and specialty crops – primarily tomatoes, peppers and leafy

greens. Chad said planning for growing cut flowers isn’t that different from planning for other kinds of crops, but notes there are some unique challenges.

“I have a lot of variety in both flowers and produce, but with flowers, the challenge is finding varieties that florists like and can’t get from their wholesalers,” he said.

The Hensleys have chosen the varieties they grow based on a mix of personal preference, market demand and what grows well on their farm.

“I like to grow ‘weeds’ – and by that, I mean varieties of cut flowers that grow wild or are related to weeds in our area,” Chad said.

“Celosia and amaranth are cousins to red root pigweed, and they grow very well just like their wild cousins. Butterfly milkweed is another that we’ve planted a lot of, and perennials that can hold their own and be marketed as cut flowers – such as irises, lilies and peonies.”

The Hensleys’ markets include the Lamoni Farmers Market, Lamoni Food Pantry, a floral CSA and grocery stores in Lamoni and Kansas City. They plan to add Pineywood cattle to the operation this year with the help of the PFI Savings Incentive Program.

Directions: From I-35: Take U.S. 69 west toward Lamoni. As you enter Lamoni, turn left onto S. Smith Street and go about 1.5 miles; the farm is on the left.

Note: Google maps or GPS may ask you to turn right and go north on S. Smith Street. Do not follow those instructions.

Practical Farmers of Iowa’s 2016 field day season features 25 events around Iowa. All field days feature farmer-led discussions and farm or field tours. Details are in Practical Farmers’ “2016 Field Day Guide,” available at practicalfarmers.org, or for free in print.

To request a guide by mail, call the PFI office at 515232-5661.

I’ll probably be unpopular after this, but it seems that “The American Dream” has become distorted.

It used to be that people would come to America to find a place where they could pursue their hopes and dreams and make a life for themselves.

Today, however, it seems that the idea of “The American Dream” is 1) I “need” everything, and 2) I deserve to have it.

Don’t agree? Just watch 10 minutes of television and see what the commercials tell you! When did the word “need” replace the word “want?”

Friends, there’s something to be said for contentment.

When you don’t “have to have everything,” there’s freedom there! So how does one go about making that happen? Here are a few ideas for you: First, stop comparing yourself to others. When you compare your life with someone else’s, the only place it can lead is toward discontentment. There will always be people who appear to be better off than you, but you don’t know their real circumstances. That person you idolize so much is probably doing the same with you.

2 Corinthians 10:12 tells us: We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another, and compare themselves with one another, they do not show good sense.

Comparing yourself to others is foolishness. There’s always going to be someone you just don’t seem to measure up to. Instead of comparing, start being the person God made you to be. You’ll never do better than His plan for you!

Second, be grateful for who you are and what you have. Learning to be content requires that you stop any “when and then” thinking – “When I am ———, then I’ll be happy.” (You fill in the blank.)

The problem with this thinking is, more than likely, someone else or something else will come along and drain the contentment from your life.

You’re unique. God created you to be like nobody else, so why would you want to be anyone else? God is perfect, and you were His perfect choice to be you.

Understanding that is a huge step toward being content with your life.

Third, look at all the things God has given you. So often we allow what we don’t have to so dominate our focus that we forget the many wonderful things we already have, not only material blessing, but far more important things, such as family and friends.

Fourth, give yourself to others. If you will begin giving yourself to others, sharing what things you do have, sharing your time and your talents, you will find yourself learning to be content.

Helping others will give you an appreciation for what you have and who you are, but more importantly, you will find yourself growing content. Why? Because God designed us to serve and share with others, and until we do that, we will feel great discontent.

Finally, focus on things with eternal value. The real secret to becoming content is to focus on the things that have eternal value. It may be a familiar teaching to you, but Jesus said we should store up our treasures in heaven, and not on earth.

Think about the things in your life: What will last forever? Hint: Many of the things you “had to have” are now in a landfill somewhere.

What will last at least for your lifetime? What will last a few short years, or months or days? Based on eternal value, what things are most important in your life?

Where – and with whom – should you put your most time and energy?

One New Testament writer said: I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. (Philippians 4:11) By re-organizing your life around eternal priorities, you’ll find yourself growing in contentment as you live according to God’s design and purpose.

Yeah, this all goes against the “entitlement mentality” that so many in our great country have today. But you’re far better off living God’s way and finding contentment than to always be striving for it and never finding it!

Clarke softball finding winning way Upset win leads Clarke baseball

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST Sports Editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa.com

Clarke’s softball team kept rolling this past week, earning three wins in four outings.

The Indians downed Moravia 5-1 in a non-conference contest.

Clarke took the lead with a run in the first. Moravia answered with two in the fifth.

But the Indians came up with four in the fifth for the win.

Sidney Marker, Sydnee Redman and Amanda Kindred each drove in a run.

Vanessa Bakley scored twice, while Marker, Deseree Stubbe and Ashlynn Oehlert each scored one run.

Alexis Watson scattered three hits,

Against Centerville, the Indians pulled out a 3-1 win.

Each team scored a run in the first.

Clarke countered with single runs in the fourth and fifth.

Bakley, Redman and Amanda Kindred each drove in a run. Redman had two hits including a solo home run.

Redman scattered four hits, walked one and struck out five to earn the pitching win.

Clarke struggled a bit Saturday, falling to Fairfield 9-1.

The Trojans scored three in the third, two in the fifth and four in the sixth.

Clarke’s lone run came in the fifth.

Redman had two hits and drove in a run.

Redman allowed 12 hits, eight earned runs and struck out five in the loss.

Bats rolling for Interstate 35 softball

By RYAN KRONBERG OST Sports Editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

Interstate 35 coach Tim Bogs had some concerns about how his offense would perform in Friday’s Pride of Iowa Conference showdown against Nodaway Valley.

The Roadrunners answered his questions emphatically.

Interstate 35 brought out the bats, particularly over the final two innings of a 150, four-inning win.

The Roadrunners scored seven runs in the third, including a two-run home run

by Cheyanne Hiatt, and seven more in the fourth.

Interstate 35 had two off days before the contest.

“When you’re playing that well, you hate to have that much time off,” Bogs said.

“We were just hoping we could still swing the bat, put pressure.

“When we put pressure on like we did, we’re a pretty good team.”

Interstate 35 kept recent momentum going.

“We’ve been hitting it really well the last two weeks,” Bogs said.

The Roadrunner offense was more than enough for pitcher Carlyn Stanley. Stanley allowed only two hits, walked one and struck out 10.

On June 14, the Roadrunners took a pair from Central OST photo by RYAN KRONBERG Decatur, winning by a 7-6 Interstate 35 junior Cheyanne Hiatt gets a high-five from decision in nine innings, then coach Tim Bogs after hitting a home run in Friday’s win taking the nightcap 18-4. over Nodaway Valley in Greenfield.

By RYAN KRONBERG OST Sports Editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

Clarke’s baseball team has gone through some tough moments in the past week, but it ended the week on a high.

The Indians upset Class 1A fifth-ranked Martensdale-St. Mary’s 15-7 at the Clarke Tournament Saturday.

Against the Blue Devils, Clarke tallied three or more runs in four innings and scored in six of the seven frames.

Clarke’s offense put pressure on the Martensdale-St. Marys defense.

“The guys had obviously watched Martensdale play the first game against Wayne and saw that they make mistakes defensively just like any other team,” said Clarke coach Justin Stoulil. “We knew if we just put the ball in play anything could happen.”

Each team scored three in the first and one more in the second. Clarke took control from there scoring three in the third and fourth.

Martensdale-St. Mary’s countered with two in the fifth, but Clarke answered with one in the bottom of the

fifth and four in the sixth.

Gable Reece swung a hot bat, going 4-for-5 with home run, five runs batted in and three runs. Payton Winship had three hits and scored three runs. Zach Harmsen had two hits and drove in a pair. Conner Deutsch had two hits, drove in a pair and scored two runs.

Skylar Johnson and Sam Crees each had two hits and scored twice. Billy Otto had two hits and scored a run.

Harmsen pitched six innings, allowed six runs, all earned, walked three and struck out nine.

“We have really started to swing the bats pretty well and always seem to hit better the second game of our double headers,” Stoulil said. “This continued in the game and we took advantage of a number of Martensdale errors.”

The win against Martensdale-St. Marys gave the Indians a needed shot of confidence heading into the later part of the season.

“This was a great win for our team and will hopefully give us some momentum moving forward,” Stoulil said. “If we continue to hit the ball well, we can play with anybody that we have BB | 2B

Roadrunner baseball rolls to three wins

BY RYAN KRONBERG OST Sports Editor, rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

Interstate 35’s baseball team has figured out what it takes to pull off a good rally.

The Roadrunners were able to do that Friday in earning a 16-6 win at Nodaway Valley in Pride of Iowa Conference baseball.

Interstate 35 rallied for 11 unanswered runs over the final two at bats.

The Roadrunners led 1-0 with a run in the third, but fell behind 3-1 after giving up three in the bottom of the third.

Interstate 35 countered with four in the top of the fifth, but Nodaway Valley responded with three in the

bottom of the fifth.

It was all Roadrunners from there.

Interstate 35 had a season-high 16 hits. Brock Bush and Cameron Vodraska each had three. Elijah Smith, Hunter Allen and Garrett Garner each had two hits.

Central Decatur softball on the right track

By RYAN KRONBERG, OST Sports Editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

The Central Decatur offense has started turning a corner recently.

The Cardinals took another step forward in a 9-1 win at Southwest Valley on June 16 in Pride of Iowa Conference play.

Central Decatur scored nine unanswered runs to pull

away.

“We’ve been playing pretty well,” said Central Decatur coach Rudy Evertsen.

“We’re starting to figure some stuff out in the middle of the year.”

The Cardinals scored their nine runs on 12 hits.

“We’re working on making sure we’re hitting our pitches,” Evertsen said. “We did a good job of that.”

Central Decatur pounded out three extra base hits, in-

cluding home runs by Grace Martin and Daryn Nowlin.

On Friday, the Cardinals fell a little short, dropping a 3-0 decision to Mount Ayr. Saturday at Martensdale-St. Mary’s, the Cardinals went 2-1. Central Decatur fell to Martensdale-St. Marys 10-8. The Cardinals bounced back with a 21-5 win over Des Moines North and a 14-3 win over West Central Valley.
