2013: The year in review What were the biggest stories in Clarke County in 2013?

large enough. The current gym, which was built in 1957, will still be the school district’s main gym.

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

It’s 2014. Another year has come and gone.

However, 2013 was an eventful year in Clarke County. Osceola Sentinel-Tribune compiled a list of the biggest news stories of the year.

Editor’s note: The stories are listed in chronological order of when the events were reported in the news, not in order of importance.

Murray voters approve school addition, Feb. 14 Murray Community School District voted to take the next step forward in a Feb. 5 special election. A vote passed with 257 yes votes to 75 no votes to contract indebtedness and issue generalobligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $2.085 million to provide funds to construct, build, improve, furnish and equip an addition to the existing facility and site.

The goal of the entire renovation project at Murray is to repurpose space.

The renovation project includes many new things for the school building. The educational wing will have two science classrooms with an expanded lab. The lab will be large enough to put in several lab tables.

There will also be two math classrooms.

Included in the design plan is a multipurpose gymnasium with a community room next to it.

The gym at Murray is wood, and is in need of constant maintenance. Every year, between $1,600 and $2,000 goes toward the gym floor’s upkeep.

The multipurpose gym with room for 150 spectators may be used for physical education, junior-varsity games, junior-high games, varsity and junior-high volleyball.

Varsity basketball will still have to be scheduled in the school’s current gym because it is the only area

Murray to get a Casey’s General Store, March 21 In the early spring, it was announced Murray is getting a Casey’s General Store.

After the town’s convenience store left in February 2012, there was a need for another one.

The Casey’s General Store in Murray will be located directly south of the school.

Officials with Casey’s did six inspections of Murray and found the city would be a viable community for a Casey’s store.

Council doubles funding for Osceola Senior Center, March 28 In February, it came to the attention of Osceola City Council that Osceola Senior Center was struggling financially.

Councilman Glenn Schaff said the council never gets a report from the local animal shelter.

So, he proposed taking $1,000 in monthly funding away from the shelter and giving that money to the senior center.

Schaff’s proposal was not approved because other council members — like Dr. George Fotiadis, David Walkup and Sarah Truitt — believed animal shelter staff should be contacted and allowed to make a presentation before a decision like that was made.

Joy Durham, animal shelter manager, made a presentation to the council in March. She provided the council a detailed expense report, and Durham also updated them on the shelter’s current services and upcoming events.

“This report looks very good,” Schaff said during the March meeting, “and I’d like to keep these reports coming. If you can do that, I have no objections to leave (your) money where it is at. Thank you for coming forward.”

Durham agreed to issue a

monthly report to the city council in the future. The council then agreed to continue funding the shelter at $2,000 per month.

In February, the council approved waiving sewer charges at the senior center. Since then, water fees have also been waived. It’s estimated eliminating those two costs will save the senior center about $1,000 annually.

In March, the city budgeted $3,000 annually toward the senior center. During the March 28 council meeting, Schaff made a motion to increase that budget to $6,000 per fiscal year and issue two separate payments. That payment system would allow the council the chance to review the senior cen-

Gonzales named new superintendent at Clarke, April 18 In January, Clarke School Board hired Steve Seid as an interim superintendent to replace former Clarke Superintendent Ned Cox. Next, the board began the process of finding a long-term superintendent.

There were 22 applicants for the superintendent posi- Gonzales tion. The school board interviewed five finalists during the week of March 25.

The five finalists included: • Seid • Benita Gonzales, shared superintendent of Sigourney and Tri-County Community school districts.

• Brandon Eighmy, former principal of Clarke Community Elementary School • Brett Gibbs, superintendent of Audubon Community School District • Dr. Pamela Vogel, superintendent of East Union Community School District In April, the school board announced a superintendent contract had been offered to Gonzales.

Commission’s (CCRC) Squaw Creek watershed project.

The results in May 7 special election to repeal the local option sales tax (LOST) in Clarke County were No: 611 to Yes: 119.

The issue of repealing LOST was directly related to the funding for CCRC’s watershed project.

The ongoing CCRC Squaw Creek Watershed project could provide a water supply for Osceola and SIRWA (Southern Iowa Rural Water Association) with an 816-acre lake, which could provide 2.2 million gallons of water per day.

West Lake, the current water source, doesn’t meet the needs of Clarke County and SIRWA. The total project cost for the reservoir in the CCRC Squaw Creek Watershed is estimated at $37.6 million. Funding for the project includes many sources, especially funding from LOST. A special election was scheduled in May to determine whether to repeal LOST in the areas of Clarke County where it is imposed.

This included LOST 2008 with the city of Woodburn, LOST 2009 with the city of Osceola and LOST 2010 with the city of Murray.

Voters showed they were in favor of moving forward with CCRC’s watershed project.

QSI

Ten simple ways to instantly improve your finances in 2014 (BPT) — Do you wonder how you could better manage finances? You’re not alone. When it comes to money, most people are far from perfect. Whether you make $20,000 a year or $200,000, some simple steps can start you on the right financial path, and some of them only take a few minutes to complete.

“Personal finance is an intimidating topic, especially if you’ve made mistakes in the past,” said Michael McAuliffe, an adjunct instructor at Morton College and president of the nonprofit Family Credit Management. “But everyone has the opportunity to start fresh and make improvements. Your past missteps don’t have to dictate your financial future if you resolve to be proactive today.”

McAuliffe recently coauthored a financial workbook titled “Personal Finance Made Easy.” Thanks to a grant from State Farm, the workbook can be downloaded for free at www.familycredit.org, or you can request a hard copy be mailed to you free of charge. You can use the workbook alone or pair with the free online video lessons. Topics covered include money management, savings, investing and more.

McAuliffe suggested 10 simple ways for you to start improving your finances immediately: 1. Stop, think, save — When out shopping, don’t mindlessly pile things in the cart. Take a moment to stop, think what you really need, and save by not buying extras. Cutting unnecessary spending is easy when you make a habit of briefly pausing to analyze what you really need.

2. Cut 5 percent — If your employer cut your paycheck by 5 percent, you’d be unhappy, but you’d still be able to survive. Why not make that cut now? Reduce the extras like your daily latte or weekly visit to the salon and the savings will mount quickly.

3. Save — Every little bit counts when it comes to savings. If you save just $5 a day - the cost of a fast food lunch - you’ll have $1,800 in a year. It’s OK to start slow and build momentum. The ultimate goal should be to save at least 10 percent of your net income (income after taxes and other deductions).

4. Budget — It sounds simple, but most people don’t have a solid budget. Create

a spending plan now and stick to it. List all expenses and see where adjustments can be made. Refer back to your budget regularly to stay on track.

5. Keep multiple savings accounts — The less accessible your money is, the easier it is to reduce spending.

Keep multiple savings accounts and pay yourself first.

One savings account could be designated for an emergency fund, another for a new car or a future vacation.

6. Make it visual — Discourage overspending by reminding yourself why you are trying to save. A photo of your vacation destination, for example, illustrates what you’re saving for; put it everywhere you spend money - wallet, computer monitor, vehicle, etc.

7. Make your money work for you — Consistent contributions add up over time, and thanks to the power of compound interest, the longer you leave your money untouched in a savings account or other investment, the more it can grow.

8. Home savings — If you own a home, you know it can cost a lot of money. Cut costs by doing home improvements and maintenance jobs yourself rather than hire out.

Call your insurance agent and see if there is a lower rate for homeowner’s insurance. Check into refinancing while rates are still low.

9. Manage checking accounts — You need a checking account, but are you really keeping track of your money? Online banking makes it easier than ever to balance your checkbook, track your spending and set up alerts when your balance goes under a certain amount.

10. Review your credit report — From mortgages and car loans to employment and renting eligibility, your credit report and score affect many aspects of life.

You can review your credit report for free annually by going to www.annualcreditreport.com. Make sure you know what’s on it and make corrections as necessary.

In addition to partnering with State Farm on this project, FCM received grants from Bank of America, Barclays Bank and AICCCA (Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies.)

Acreage reporting dates for 2014 Clarke-Decatur County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Joyce Frost announced producers who file accurate and timely reports for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage, can prevent the potential loss of FSA program benefits.

People should pay close attention to the acreage reporting dates below, as some dates have changed for 2014.

“In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements, all producers are encouraged to visit the Clarke-Decatur County FSA office to file an accurate crop certification report by the applicable deadline,” Frost said.

The following acreage reporting dates are applicable for Clarke-Decatur County: 2014 acreage reporting dates Producers have until Jan. 15 to report crops that have a Nov. 15 or Dec. 15 reporting deadline without paying a late-file fee.

Crops under this waiver include wheat and native and improved grasses intended for grazing or haying. Producers need to consult their crop insurance agent for deadlines for insured crops.

In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements, all producers are encouraged to visit the Clarke-Decatur County FSA office to file an accurate crop certification report by the applicable deadline.

The following excep-

tions apply to the acreage reporting dates: • If the crop has not been planted by the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed.

• If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after purchase or acquiring the lease. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the county office.

• If a perennial forage crop is reported with the intended use of “cover only,” “green manure,” “left standing” or “seed,” then the acreage must be reported by July 15.

Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note the acreage reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting of the crop begins.

Additionally, producers can purchase both NAP and RMA coverage for 2014 annual forage crops.

NAP coverage will not be available for 2015 annual forage crops.

Late file fees will be assessed for 2013 crops reported after Sept. 15 and 2014 crops reported after Jan. 15.

For questions regarding crop certification and crop loss reports, contact the Clarke-Decatur County FSA office.

How well do you know the flu?

(BPT) — About half of U.S. adults incorrectly believe that antibiotics or flu vaccines will treat the flu, according to a new survey from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID).

The good news is twothirds of those surveyed know people should be vaccinated against the flu each year.

“It is reassuring that individuals recognize the importance of receiving an annual vaccination but that’s not enough,” said Dr. Susan J. Rehm, NFID medical director. “To help keep influenza out of homes, schools and workplaces, everyone six months and older should get vaccinated and contact their doctor when experiencing flu

symptoms. Remember Flu F.A.C.T.S.: Fever, Aches, Chills, Tiredness, and Sudden onset, to help determine if your symptoms are flu related.”

According to the CDC, the most important step in protecting against the flu is getting an annual flu vaccine. Also, when viruses are circulating, everyday preventative actions — like washing your hands and covering your cough — can stop the spread of viruses.

Once you are infected with the flu virus, vaccination and hand washing will not stop the virus from replicating. Antibiotics won’t help either, as they fight against bacterial infections.

If you get the flu, a doctor can prescribe medicines to help treat the flu.

YEAR IN REVIEW: Continued from Page 1

the relay.

Relay For Life is the world’s largest movement to end cancer, where each year more than 4 million people in more than 20 countries raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer.

Through the leadership of Karen Irwin, Clarke County successfully recruited committed volunteers to plan an event that most in the community had never experienced before.

These volunteers recruited 24 teams and more than 200 individuals to be a part of the event, raising nearly $22,000 as a first-year event.

In honor of outstanding contributions in the fight against cancer, American Cancer Society (ACS) recently presented the volunteers of Relay For Life of Clarke County a Midwest Division Community of Hope Award at the 2013 Southeast Iowa Leadership Conference held in Oskaloosa.

The date for this year’s event is 6 p.m. Friday, June 13, to 6 a.m. Saturday, June 14.

Council approves contract with Jim’s Sanitation, July 11 Osceola City Council denied renewing a five-year contract with Waste Management, which incorporates single-stream recycling.

The city had a contract

with Waste Management until Sept. 30.

During many council meetings, Councilman Glenn Schaff said the council had asked about getting lighter trucks for the city’s streets, including seal-coated and asphalt roads.

Schaff said he didn’t like when a Waste Management representative came to the city with a new contract for waste collection and didn’t leave any room for change or compromise.

The contract for Osceola’s waste collection was put out for bid.

Jim’s Sanitation of Creston and Waste Management both had bids for the contract.

Jim’s Sanitation had higher collection rates, but smaller truck loads. Waste Management had cheaper collection rates, but heavier truck loads.

During a July 3 council meeting, the council awarded a five-year contract for the city’s solid-waste and recycling collection to Jim’s Sanitation. The contract started Oct. 1 and incorporated single-stream recycling.

Clarke softball runner-up at state competition, Aug. 1 Clarke softball team’s magical ride through the Class 3A postseason was finally grounded by Bondurant-Farrar.

Bondurant-Farrar posted a 6-3 victory over the Clarke Lady Indians in the Class

3A championship game in Fort Dodge in July.

After finishing runnerup at the state tournament, Clarke’s softball team returned to where it all started — the high school softball field.

The team was escorted into town by a row of Osceola police vehicles and fire trucks.

A crowd of well-wishers was at the high school to greet and congratulate the girls on their season.

If the team was feeling sad after losing the championship game, they didn’t show it.

Once the team vans were parked, the girls jumped out, screamed, hugged each other and started dancing to their rally song, which is Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop.”

This was Clarke’s second appearance in the state softball tournament. Their last appearance was in 1995 when the team won the state championship.

They were not at a crossing.

The location where the two men were hit by the train is residential. However, there were no witnesses other than the engineer of the train.

Hooper, Diehl win in contested races, Nov. 7 Osceola City Council candidate Dan Hooper pulled off an upset over incumbent Councilwoman Sarah Truitt in the race for the seat of Osceola City Council, Ward 2.

In a Nov. 5 election, Hooper had 107 votes. Truitt had 76. The city-council position is a four-year term.

In Osceola, there were three candidates vying to be elected mayor. Incumbent Fred Diehl emerged as the victor in the election.

Diehl had 244 votes. The other two candidates were Steve Squier and Ron Eshelman. Squier had 181 votes and Eshelman had 38 votes. The office of mayor is a two-year term.

Incumbent Councilman Glenn Schaff was running for re-election for Osceola City Council’s at-large seat.

He ran unopposed in the election.

Schaff had 394 votes. The seat is a four-year term.

In the election, there were 2,978 registered voters and 476 people voted in the election. This is approximately 16 percent of the voting population in Osceola.

Two killed in BNSF accident, Aug. 8 Two men died in the early morning hours of Aug. 3 in Osceola after being struck by an eastbound Burlington Northern freight train.

Miley Cyrus, notorious trials and Obamacare top online searches for 2013 (BPT) — While election politicking dominated the top 10 searches of 2012, this year people were a little starry-eyed when it comes to online searching. Miley Cyrus (No. 1) came into our lives like a wrecking ball and dethroned Kim Kardashian (No. 2) to become Yahoo’s most searched person in 2013.

Top searches on Yahoo in 2013: 1. Miley Cyrus 2. Kim Kardashian 3. Kate Upton 4. Minecraft 5. Selena Gomez 6. Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) 7. Amanda Bynes 8. Jodi Arias 9. iPhone 5 10. Justin Bieber “In past years, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton dominated our lists,” said Vera Chan, Yahoo Web trends analyst and senior editor who oversees the Yahoo Year in Review. “They started off as the girl next door and the It Girl, before the trains wrecked. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian have taken up their slots, but they’re savvier in controlling their image and

making sure we sit up and take notice.”

The twerk — which helped land the term into Yahoo’s obsessions list — wasn’t Cyrus’ only move. Right after the VMAs, she poked fun at her own image on “Saturday Night Live” to show she was in on her own joke.

Kardashian’s pregnancy, divorce and engagement guaranteed the reality star a continued place in the Top 10 — she’s been a regular since 2009 — although even giving birth to Kanye West’s daughter North wasn’t enough to keep her top pole position.

Information, released by Yahoo, noted an exception to the star-domminated list was Obamacare.

“Ironically, the government shutdown, which had been designed to defund Obamacare, may have been its biggest publicity stunt,” Chan said. Searches averaged their highest during the 16-day shutdown, which also coincided with the website’s launch.

The notoriety surrounding the murder trial of Jodi Arias thrust the defendant into the Top 10. The iPhone 5, which ranked second in 2012 despite not even being

out yet, ironically fell to the ninth slot when the real thing finally emerged. Online gaming phenomenon Minecraft comes in at fourth.

Top 10 news stories A quick scan of the news stories reveals a wide breadth of domestic and international issues: Obamacare (second), the Boston Marathon bombings (third), the birth of Great Britain’s -royal baby (fourth), Syria civil war (sixth), North Korea missile threats (seventh) and the papal transition (ninth) made the list.

Surprisingly, despite the dialogue about race relations, crime and gun control the George Zimmerman murder trial engendered, it was the Jodi Arias trial that took the No. 1 spot.

What didn’t quite make the Top 10s may also be equally intriguing.

The government shutdown lasted 16 days in October, but a civic paralysis commanded the national conversation.

“It was much ado about doing nothing,” Chan said.

Besides checking the status of the “government shutdown,” people also looked up furloughs, sequestration, fiscal cliffs, the players in-

volved, and of course, what was open. Had the shutdown lasted longer than 16 days the phrase would’ve cracked the Top 10.

Obsessions Twerking makes the list of America’s web obsessions, but unlike Gangnam Style, people just wanted to know what the heck it was.

Television shows like “Breaking Bad,” “The Walking Dead” and “Duck Dynasty,” which tops the list, dominated.

“The mass audiences of broadcast days are gone, but a lot of people think we’re in a golden age,” Chan said.

“And they’ve long been on cable networks and now, of course, on outlets like Netflix and Amazon. We hosted a dating show parody ‘Burning Love,’ which got nominated for an Emmy.”

The “Fifty Shades of Gray” obsession extended to casting this year, which saw at least one star drop out because of fan outcry, although he attributed that to scheduling. Other obsessions included apps like Snapchat and Bitstrips, the Rainbow Loom toy that takes the Silly Bandz craze into craft mode, and the selfie.

Clarke County Hospital remodels facility’s north end Clarke County Hospital is renovating the north side of the hospital facility to house the new Materials Management Department. Construction will be completed February.

The materials management department is responsible for all supplies and medical inventory throughout the hospital. By moving the department from its current location on the basement floor to the main floor, many challenges will be resolved.

“We will be closer to the medical departments once we move to the main floor, so we will be able to distribute the supplies efficiently,” said Deb Mathes, materials manager at Clarke County Hospital. “Moving our receiving area to the north end of the building will also allow supply trucks easier access to our loading dock, improving the flow of street traffic.”

Other facility improvements include a new emergency generator, new water piping in the kitchen area and new air handler for heating and cooling on the north side of the facility.

“Just like our medical equipment, we keep our facility equipment up to date in order to provide patients best care possible,” said Brian Evans, chief-executive officer of Clarke County Hospital. “The new emergency generator, for example, will produce nearly three times as much power in the case of an outage.

In disasters, we will be the place of refuge for anyone needing emergency medical assistance.”

These renovations at Clarke County Hospital are the start of a five-year facility expansion. Funding for

the $24 million project will come from hospital savings, hospital revenue bonds, general-obligation bonds and other identified sources.

The financial forecasting of debt repayment does not include tax increases.

“We are dedicated to the people of Clarke County and therefore feel that it is important to keep our commitment of not asking the Clarke County tax payers for additional tax dollars,” Evans said.

Clarke County Hospital has reduced its ask for county taxes the past nine consecutive years. Savings to Clarke County taxpayers equal over $1.7 million to date.

About Clarke County Hospital Clarke County Hospital is a 25-bed, critical access hospital with advanced diagnostic and telemedicine technology.

Through telemedicine and visiting physicians, patients can receive specialized care close to home, including cardiology; nephrology; neurology; oncology; hepatology; general and vascular surgery; orthopedics; dermatology; pulmonology; gastroenterology; urology; and ear, nose and throat (ENT) services.

Clarke County Hospital emergency department houses two state-of-the-art ambulances and a staff of 20 certified personnel who are readily available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The hospital campus also includes a physical therapy clinic and UnityPoint Clinic – Family Medicine at Clarke County. Since its foundation in 1953, Clarke County Hospital has been a healthcare cornerstone of the south central Iowa community.

Health story of the year: Salt is vindicated (BPT) — An ever increasing body of academic research is showing that the current level of salt Americans consume is not only perfectly healthy but that adopting low-salt recommendations will actually harm people. The most recent example of this is a review of all available research on salt and health by the Institute for Medicine (IOM).

The consensus of the medical experts on this panel was that blood pressure is only one of many factors that should be considered in evaluating dietary changes and studies indicate there are negative effects from reducing sodium to very low levels.

“This report cautions against drastic sodium reduction efforts to get people to consume dangerously low levels of sodium of 1,500 mg a day,” said Salt Institute Vice President of Science and Research, Morton Satin. “There is no scientific justification for population-wide sodium reduction to such low levels

and the recognition by the IOM experts that such low levels may cause harm may help steer overzealous organizations away from reckless recommendations.”

As a result of the IOM report and other research on salt and health, Hypertension Canada has actually raised its recommendation on the minimum level of sodium consumption, the first national organization to do this. The available evidence shows that significant cuts in salt (sodium chloride) consumption can result in small reductions in blood pressure for some people, while causing a cascade of several other negative health impacts (insulin resistance, diabetes, increases in cholesterol and triglycerides, cardiovascular events, etc.) for everyone.

Despite the facts, some food activists are calling on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the salt content of the food Americans eat, much like the recent ban on trans fats.

Indulge in skin-loving winter foods for a healthy self - inside and out (BPT) — Have you effectively “winterized” your home for the season? Plunging temperatures call for more than just cozy sweaters, boots and coats - they can also challenge daily eating and wellness routines, which can negatively impact skin. A personal regimen that effectively combines diet (chock-full of fresh, in-season foods), exercise, skincare and wellness this winter can be a powerful tool in achieving a glowing, healthy-looking appearance.

The Simple brand, a range of facial skincare products that is perfect even for sensitive skin, launched the Simple Advisory Board (SAB) to help women everywhere discover the benefits of a holistic approach to skincare. Advisory board member Ellie Krieger is a nutritionist, New York Times bestselling author and host of the Food Network and Cooking Channel’s hit show, “Healthy Appetite.” She believes that positive food and nutrition choices lead to beautiful skin and overall wellbeing.

The guide below offers a good start.

Produce section:

Butternut squash Squash is one of winter’s most popular vegetables.

Though winter squash is botanically classified as a fruit, it is nutritionally viewed as a starchy vegetable. Winter squash is filled with nutrients and is one of the top sources of beta carotene, an antioxidant form of vitamin A that helps protect skin and speeds up the cell renewal process, contributing to healthy, supple-looking skin. Beta carotene imparts a yellow-orange color to food and can also enhance complexion tone. Butternut squash is readily available both whole and in convenient pre-cut packages and it has a creamy, sweet flavor that appeals to just about everyone.

Beets Another highly underrated fall and winter vegetable is the beet. High in folate, manganese and potassium, beets can also be found in already-cooked vacuum packs, making it easier to add them to a meal. When buying fresh beets, select those with the greens intact because beet greens, like other green leafy vegetables, are not only delicious, they are also packed with

nutrients, especially vitamin C, which is important for collagen production.

Try sautéing cooked beets with the greens or some kale along with garlic and splash of balsamic vinegar. Or, whip up an elegant beet salad enhanced with watercress dressing by food-processesing the watercress, goat cheese, buttermilk, vinegar and salt until smooth and creamy, and add walnuts as a topper.

Tomatoes Tomatoes are a crucial “skin food.” They provide lycopene which helps pro-

tect skin against damage from UV radiation. Canned tomatoes and sauce make it easy to incorporate this fruit into everyday meals. Cooking tomatoes concentrates their lycopene, and adding olive oil in tomato sauce helps the body absorb the antioxidant.

Whole grains Whole grains are a valuable part of a healthy diet, providing a wide spectrum of nutrients and antioxidants, not to mention great taste and satisfaction. They are digested more slowly than refined grains so they

can help you achieve a steadier blood sugar, which may reduce inflammation and acne flares and lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other health issues.

Quinoa has gained popularity recently, but other alternative grains like farro and bulgur are just as delicious and packed with fiber and minerals.

Teas Daily routines can have long-term effects; so consider substituting your afternoon cup of joe with a more skin-loving cup of tea.

The white, green and black tea varieties are all from the same plant, and are packed with flavonoids and antioxidants, helping to detox cell-damaging free radicals in the body. White is the least processed of teas, followed by green and then black. All contain caffeine so they are perfect for an afternoon or morning pick-me-up, but they have considerably less than coffee so you will get a gentle lift rather than a big jolt.

Certain skincare products also contain skin-loving ingredients sourced from food. When it comes to ingredients, Simple knows that what is left out is just as important as what is put in.

This philosophy is the reason why none of the products contain dyes, artificial perfumes or harsh chemicals that can upset skin - just the purest possible ingredients for natural, healthylooking skin. The Simple Radiance Cleansing Facial Wipes contain mango extract, known as a source of anti-oxidants, and includes vitamin C; glycerin, which helps increase hydration; and bisabolol, an anti-inflammatory known to help soothe and calm skin.

Should you mail-order your genome?

“The Perfect 46” is an upcoming movie in which people are routinely tested to find an ideal genetic partner with whom to create a child.

In the real world, things are almost as far-out. Some companies can screen and alert you to DNA variants that might combine with your partner’s to produce an offspring with a rare, single-gene disease, such as cystic fibrosis. Others look for genetic indications that you could develop a disease down the road, so you can make decisions about prevention or medical treatment.

But there are lots of questions about how reliable these mail-in-a-vialof-blood-or-saliva genetic tests are. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has ordered one big-buzz company to stop shipping its $99 spit kit. Seems the company can’t prove the accuracy of its tests for 254 genetic problems and were suggesting what people might do with test results. That has potentially devastating health consequences. For example, a false-positive result for a high-risk genelinked condition such breast cancer might lead a woman to have a mastectomy when she didn’t really need to consider having one.

So whether you’re curious about your genome or you have a family history of a disorder that you want to avoid passing on to your children, get tested only if advised by a doctor who’s trained in genetic medicine — and have a second test done to confirm results.

These tests will get more accurate, but they aren’t there yet! At Dr. Mike’s Cleveland Clinic, people receive in-depth counseling if ge-

netic testing is needed, and that’s the context in which genome exploring should be done!

SWEAT: THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH Five hundred years ago, Ponce de Leon landed in Florida, searching for the Fountain of Youth. (Spoiler alert: Scholars say that’s a myth; the tale was invented by rivals to make the explorer look foolish, and by the 17th century the myth became accepted fact.) However, hundreds of water sources (including a magnesium-and-radium-rich fountain in Punta Gorda, Fla., and “liquid Viagra” that bubbles up in Fiuggi, Italy) are said to deliver perpetual youthfulness.

But we know the real Fountain of Youth is inside YOU: It’s the sweat that comes from physical activity. A new eight-year study looked at 3,500 folks around age 65: Those who’d always gotten moderate or vigorous exercise were seven times more likely to have healthy aging; even those who didn’t exercise until they were already old tripled their chances of a healthy old age. When you’re sweatin’ and smilin’, dementia and depression, as well as heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes, just happen less often.

The two keys to keeping active — or to getting movin’ — as you age: Having a group or partner to do it with, and finding an activity you enjoy. So sign up for a group class at the gym or get

a workout buddy or online coach to support you. And experiment with walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, yoga and strength-building or flexibility exercises to see what sustains your interest.

Then sweat it out for at least 30 minutes daily! P.S. You cut the risk of stroke 20 percent by sweating four times a week.

3-D MAMMOGRAMS The first 3-D motion pictures — called plasticons — were created in 1889. Now Hollywood studios crank out dozens of super-dynamic 3-D films a year (“Despicable Me 2,” “Iron Man 3,” “Man of Steel”).

But nothing about 3-D ever has been as life-changing as the way 3-D in mammograms can “see” breast tissue. Digital breast tomosynthesis, the name for these high-tech troublespotters, can identify 22 percent more cancers and avoid many false-positives (and unnecessary biopsies, particularly among women with dense breast tissue and younger women) that result from use of conventional digital mammogram machines. And they’re potentially life-saving for people with a family history of BRCA-2 breast cancer.

New information reveals that family members who test BRCA-2-free are still at a much-increased risk of breast cancer, compared with folks with who have no family history of BRCA-2.

For them, mammograms need to be as accurate as possible, every time, and

3-D images are just that.

Other people who might be grateful for the imaging power of tomosynthesis?

Anyone with high LDL cholesterol is at increased risk for estrogen-dependent breast cancer (about 75 percent of breast cancers).

That’s because a byproduct of cholesterol acts like estrogen in the body, making folks with high cholesterol more vulnerable. Regular 3-D screenings can catch breast cancer at its earliest and most curable stage.

Bonus tip: If you have elevated LDL, taking a cholesterol-lowering statin and aspirin are smart ways to reduce breast-cancer risk; statins reduce the estrogenlike powers of that cholesterol byproduct, and a daily aspirin cuts the risk by 40 percent!

9 LITTLE NEW YEAR’S GIFTS OF GOODNESS Want to bring a little good cheer into a friend’s life for various occasions scattered over the New Year? (Not a bad resolution.) Here’s our list of nine mini-gifts that will make everyone healthier and happier (including you, because giving is a great feeling).

1. A half-pound of walnuts. Eating 12 halves daily may increase lifespan 20 percent! And munching six halves 30 minutes before mealtime is an effective way to control appetite.

2. A half-pound of (70 percent cacao) chocolate.

One ounce daily may cut heart attack and stroke risk 30 percent while preventing some cancers. And, oh yeah, it tastes great!

3. A pound of coffee (320 ounces of java).. Your daily dose (three cups) can cut stroke risk by 30 percent and may help prevent some

cancers, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Type 2 diabetes.

4. One bottle of wine.

Provides 5-7 glasses; onea-day for women, two for men. Boosts good HDL and reduces lousy LDL, keeping everything from the brain to sexual functions up and running.

5. Garlic goodies. Garlicinfused olive oil and a garlic press deliver an immuneboosting, heart-healthy flavor!

6. Jump rope, pedometer and exercise bands. Nothing relieves stress, lowers heart disease risk and protects against diabetes like exercise; cool “toys” are a great incentive to get going!

7. Lavender aromatherapy oil. Give the gift of sleep; sniff the scent for 20 minutes before bedtime. Then, sweet dreams!

8. Thank-you notes. Expressing gratitude improves everyone’s happiness quotient.

9. Our newly revised “YOU: The Owner’s Manual” (also available at the library). Your friends can discover all our secrets for a long, happy, healthy life.

SUGAR AND SPICE? SOME, BUT NOT ALL, NICE Mary Poppins claimed that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but clearly she was unaware added sugar makes you sick — so you need even more medicine and medical intervention.

A recent study of postmenopausal women found that those who drink a lot of sweetened beverages have a 78 percent greater risk of estrogen-dependent type I endometrial cancer (the most common form) compared with women who

don’t consume such liquid sugar bombs. And we’ve known for a long time that anyone who drinks a lot of sweetened beverages is at increased risk of obesity, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Drinking one can of sugary soda a day can up your diabetes risk 18 percent, and added sugars fuel the growth and spread of prostate and breast cancers.

So what’s our trick for giving beverages a flavor boost and a touch of sweetness, so they’re part of your healthy choices for a younger RealAge? Cinnamon. It tastes and smells great, and one study found taking a 500 mg capsule of cinnamon twice a day for 90 days significantly lowers A1C levels (a measure of your blood sugar levels for the past three months).

Cinnamon also lowers lousy LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, increases good HDL cholesterol, and decreases BMI and weight.

Try it in coffee or tea, on cereal and whole-grain toast, and add it to casseroles, stir fries and roasted veggies. For a healthy winter dessert, check out our Cinnamon Apple Saute a la Mode at www.doctoroz. com/videos/cinnamon-apple-la-mode. It’s a sweet taste with no downside.

13 for ‘13 Top sports stories of the year Area sports teams and individuals had a successful year in 2013. Here is a list of the top 13 sports stories of 2013 as compiled by OST sports editor Scott Vicker.

• 1. Clarke softball — Osceola caught a severe case of softball fever in the summer of 2013, as the Clarke softball team made it a summer to remember.

The Lady Indians battled for a thrilling, come-frombehind win over West Burlington Notre Dame in the regional finals, advancing to the state tournament for just the second time in state history.

The only previous trip to state resulted in a state championship in 1995.

Once again, the Lady Indians found themselves playing in the state championship game. But this time, Bondurant-Farrar prevailed, knocking off Clarke 6-3 in the title game.

It was a memorable run to the runner-up trophy for the Lady Indians.

Center fielder Carley Robins, pitcher Libby Bemis and designated player Sarah Pate were named to the Class 3A All-Tournament Team. Bemis would later be named the Class 3A Pitcher of the Year, as she, along with Pate Bemis and Crees would be named to the all-state teams.

Clarke was involved in a record-setting semifinal game against New Hampton. The Lady Indians topped New Hampton by a score of 17-8 as the two teams combined for a state tournament record seven home runs.

Clarke also finished with 11 hits in the game, which is the most by a single team in state tournament history.

Combined, the two teams managed 27 hits on just three errors and no bunts.

But the Lady Indians wouldn’t have even been in a position to break those records or finish runner-up in the state if it wasn’t for Kennedy Crees’ walkoff hit in the regional final against West Burlington Notre Dame.

The Lady Indians entered the bottom of the seventh inning of the Class 3A Region 6 finals trailing 2-1 and needed a rally to earn the school’s second-ever state tournament berth.

Crees came up with runners on first and second and slapped the ball to the left side, over the head of the shortstop and into the gap in left center.

Head coach Lindsay Diehl was sending eighth-grader Sydnee Redman home from second base the whole way,

• 2. Austin Halls — Halls became the 31st player in Iowa High School Athletic Association history to score 2,000 career points, when he made a layup with 4:09 remaining in the first quarter of Murray’s 63-49 win over Moulton-Udell on Jan. 4.

Just four days later, Halls became the all-time career leader in steals in Iowa basketball history.

Halls finished his career with 459 career steals. He also ranks seventh on the all-time scoring list with 2,360 p o i n t s , Halls while playing with 1,500-point scorer Cody Scroggie.

He finished his career ranking fifth on the state’s all-time assists list with 704 assists. He earned all-state honors for the second year in a row in basketball, making it on the second team after averaging 25.1 points, 7.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 5.1 steals per game as a senior.

He also qualified for the state track meet in the 800 meter run, and finished off his high school baseball career by batting .489 with 29 stolen bases and 22 runs batted in.

On the mound, he went 4-3 with 73 strikeouts in 51 2/3 innings pitched.

In March, Halls was named the 2012 High School Male Athlete of the Year in the Central Iowa Sports Awards, put on by the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Des Moines Area Sports Commission.

In August, Halls won the inaugural South Central Iowa Male Athlete of the Year Award, presented by the Creston News Advertiser and the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune.

Clarke’s Sarah Pate, now a member of the University of Northern Iowa track and field team, unleashes a throw in the Class 2A discus competition at the 2013 Coed State Track Meet. Pate finished second in the shot put and third in the discus at state, and placed fourth in both events at the Drake Relays.

field and softball at a high level statewide and broke record after record during her time at Clarke.

Pate’s senior year followed a similar storyline across each of her three sports — a slow start followed by a big finish.

During basketball season, she averaged just 6.5 points per game over the course of the first nine games of the season.

But, after committing to go to University of Northern Iowa to compete in track and field, her play on the basketball court took off.

She ended the season averaging 10.2 points per game, and averaged 11.2 points per game in conference play.

Pate put a lot of pressure on herself during track season, and wasn’t meeting her own expectations for herself until the Drake Relays, where she finished fourth in both the shot put and the discus.

She went on to sweep the throwing events in rugged competition at the South Central Conference Meet and finished second in the shot put and third in the discus at the Coed State Track Meet.

And she made a huge impact down the stretch of Clarke’s run to through the state softball tournament.

Pate finished the season with a .532 batting average, destroying Diehl’s singleseason Clarke school record (.420) by 102 points. She ends with a career .420 batting average, which is also tops in school history.

In August, Pate was named the inaugural winner of the South Central Iowa Female Athlete of the Year Award by the Creston News Advertiser and the Osceola SentinelTribune.

• 4. Murray girls athletics — The Murray girls showed a wide range of success in 2013.

It started with Kate Patton being named a third-team all-stater in basketball by the Iowa Newspaper Association.

She then had a breakout performance at the 2013 Coed State T r a c k M e e t .

The thenjunior medaled in each of her four events she com- Patton peted in, despite not having a track to practice on at Murray.

Patton finished eighth in the Class 1A long jump, fifth in the 400 meter dash, second in the 100 meter dash and third in the 200 meter dash.

The Lady Mustangs then reached a regional softball semifinal, a regional final in volleyball, and enter the 2014 portion of the schedule undefeated and ranked fifth in Class 1A in basketball.

Murray won a share of its first Bluegrass Conference championship in seven years in softball before losing to Corning in a wild game in the regional semifinals.

The volleyball team had a record-breaking season cut short by Stanton in the regional finals.

Hannah Barber set a school record for kills in a season with 366, leading the Lady Mustangs to a 27-4 record.

Meanwhile, senior setter Patton broke a school record with 666 assists.

The basketball team is off to a 7-0 start to the 201314 season and enters the 2014 portion of the schedule ranked fifth in Class 1A. Patton eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for her career on Dec. 19.

• 5. Clarke tennis — Clarke’s dominance of tennis in the South Central Conference continued in 2013, as both the boys and girls teams won the team titles.

The Clarke boys edged out Davis County for the team title, 20-18, thanks to an upset win by the doubles team of Colin Morris and Jared Jamison over top-seeded Damon Dixon and Austin Ermine of Davis County in the championship match.

The win gave the Indians their 14th conference championship in the past 17 years.

With Davis County leading the team scoring 18-17 heading into the doubles championship match, Morris and Jamison had to win in order to give the Indians the team title.

The junior combination, seeded second in the tournament, did just that, delivering an 11-9 win.

Meanwhile, the Lady Indians picked up their fourth conference championship in a row, easily rolling to the win with 33 team points. Davis County finished second with 15 points.

It was an all-Clarke final in the doubles tournament as the No. 1 Clarke team of Kylar McCann and Libby Bemis lost just one game in advancing to the finals, while the No. 2 Clarke team of Tracy Morgan and Cassidy Bierbrodt also cruised to the final.

McCann and Bemis defeated Morgan and Bierbrodt, 103, in the championship match, after winning 10-0 and 10-1 on their way to the finals.

In singles competition, senior Kacey Klemesrud, seeded second in the tournament, won a close 10-7 match over Chariton’s Emily McRoberts in the championship match.

McCann and Bemis qualified for the state tournament in doubles play, where they won their first match before losing the next two.

• 6. State track success — Clarke senior Logan Weers took third place in the 110 meter high hurdles at the 2013 Coed State Track Meet, capping off a successful career for the Clarke standout.

Weers got out to a quick start in the race, but over the final three hurdles, CMB Baxter’s Bryce Kemp and Emmetsburg’s Cody Henderson caught Weers and edged him out for a state title.

Central Decatur junior Caitlyn Saxton earned her team seven team points by placing third in the 100 meter dash and eighth in the 200 meter dash.

Sophomore teammate Hallie Linhart also scored team points for the Cardinals, finishing fifth in the high jump, clearing 5-2. Linhart had not cleared 5-0 previously during the season, with a best mark of 4-11.

Interstate 35 senior Ellen Lupkes finished off her career with an eighth place finish in

the 100 meter hurdles on Saturday. Lupkes ran 16.35 in the race.

The Interstate 35 4x100 relay team of Jenna Sandquist, Maddie Albers, Natalie Johnson and Abby Boyer finished eighth in 51.51.

• 7. Rider breaks national record — The versatile Andrew Rider, who set or matched national records for touchdowns on punt returns and interceptions in addition to rushing for 1,557 Rider yards, was named to the INA all-state first team offense as the utility selection.

Rider, who suffered a broken arm late last year and played in the state semifinals with a cast, had a recordbreaking senior season. The 5-10, 170-pound speedster scored a school-record 262 points on 43 touchdowns and two two-point conversions, averaging 14.2 yards every time he touched the ball.

Rider, unanimous all-district and special teams player of the year in the district, returned five punts for touchdowns this season (24.3-yard average), giving him 12 for his career for a national EightMan record. He also returned two kickoffs for touchdowns, tying a national record with seven career kick return TDs. Of his seven interceptions on defense, Rider returned four for touchdowns. He also ran for 29 touchdowns while compiling 1,557 yards on 155 carries. He finished his Murray career with 3,723 yards rushing (8.7 average) and 64 touchdowns. He had 98 touchdowns as a Mustang and 12 two-point conversions.

• 8. I-35 softball falls short in regional final — After rallying to send the game into extra innings, the 11thranked Roadrunners needed one more rally in extras to advance to the state tournament.

But, Bondurant-Farrar held off Interstate 35, winning a wild regional final game by a 13-11 score.

With the tying run on third and two outs in the seventh inning, I-35 ninth batter Megan Woods beat out a close play at first to extend the game into extra innings, 9-9.

Bondurant-Farrar took a 13-9 lead in the top of the eighth inning, but Caitlin Weeks sparked another rally in the bottom half of the inning, as the Roadrunners closed to within two runs before bowing out against the eventual state champion with a record of 24-6 for the season.

• 9. Clarke girls basketball — The Clarke girls saw a successful season come to a disappointing end against a tough team on Feb. 13, losing 56-49 to fifth-ranked Bondurant-Farrar in the Class 3A Region 7 semifinal.

Clarke played a solid game, shooting 53.8 percent from the field and turned the ball over only 10 times, but the fifth-ranked Blue Jays made enough plays to hold the Lady Indians off.

Clarke finished the season

with a mark of 18-5 under first-year head coach Eric Zoske, and also won a share of the South Central Conference, giving the Lady Indians a third straight conference championship.

Senior Kylar McCann was named to the Class 3A thirdteam all-state by the Iowa Newspaper Association.

• 10. Holly McKinney qualifies for state cross country four times — Interstate 35 senior Holly McKinney put in a lot of hard work in order to achieve her dream.

She might have achieved that goal on Oct. 24 when she qualified for the State Cross Country Meet, but it didn’t really come to life until Nov. 1, when she toed the starting line here at the State Cross Country Meet.

McKinney’s dream was to be a four-time state meet qualifier.

The Roadrunner senior finished 63rd, running a time of 16:51.1. McKinney spent the early part of the race hovering around 25th place, and sat in 30th at the 2-mile mark, but faded in the final half mile.

• 11. Pontier qualifies for state as freshman — Interstate 35 freshman Austin Pontier was the lone area representative at the 2013 state wrestling tournament.

Pontier entered the state tournament with a record of 33-10, and finished the weekend with a 1-2 record in the 106-pound bracket.

He lost his first match by fall to Davenport Assumption’s Darien Collins, but bounced back to beat Perry’s Kade VanKirk in the consolation first round, earning himself at least one more match.

In his consolation second round match, Pontier faced Clear Lake sophomore Ryan Schmalen. Schmalen won a 10-1 major decision over Pontier, and ended up getting fourth in the tournament.

• 12. Central Decatur golfers qualify for state — The Central Decatur girls golf team finished seventh overall on May 28-29 at the Class 2A Girls State Golf Meet hosted

by American Legion Memorial Golf Course.

The Cardinals shot a twoday team score of 227-over par 795. Central Decatur shot a 389 on the first day of competition and a 406 on the second day of competition.

A pair of Cardinals golfers finished in the top 20 individually. Kate Havens finished in a tie for 17th with a score of 185, while Sadie Greene finished 19th overall with a score of 186.

Central Decatur sophomore Noah Simon placed 22nd overall in the Class 2A State Golf Tournament here at Spring Valley Golf Course on May 24-25.

Simon shot an 18-hole score of 83 on day one to enter day two eight strokes back of leader Mike Myers of Emmetsburg.

Simon shot a round of 84 on day two to post a 36-hole score of 167 to finish 22nd overall.

• 13. Colin Morris emerges as a star — Clarke senior Colin Morris is off to a torrid start to the 2013-14 basketball season.

Even though the Indians enter the 2014 portion of their schedule with a record of 1-6, they’ve been close in many of those six losses in large part because of the play of Morris.

Morris averaged 13.2 points per game during his junior campaign in 201213, but through Clarke’s first seven Morris g a m e s this year, he ranks eighth in the state among all classes, averaging 26.3 points per game.

The 5-11 guard is shooting 43.2 percent from the field and and 31.0 percent from behind the 3-point arc.

ASSEMBLY

OF GOD, 801 N. Fillmore, 641.342.2334, Chuck DeVos,

THURSDAY • JANUARY 2, 2014

By Pastor Tom Murr

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV) “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 (NIV) These three verses remind us that always a new beginning and new experiences. One experience we can say goodbye to would be the shortest day year for Iowa this past week.

Now we start anew toward the longest day. I like that idea.

Let the light shine as I leave the house and come to the house in the evening. You get a brighter start everyday.

From teaching and coaching, I always looked forward to the new year or new season. After teaching many years, I could not sleep the night before school started. I was too excited about the new opportunities and new adventure the year would bring.

While coaching, I enjoyed the excitement of seeing athletes get better as the season went forward. There is great thrill in the your heart when a player says to you, “Coach, I did it. I caught the second fly ball in this game!”

In the new year 2014 we have new adventures awaiting us. Yes, some moments will be heartbreaking and sad. We know that is going to happen.

There are also going to be exciting moments that we did not expect to see. It may be the beauty of flowers, strawberries, corn coming up and wonderful sunrises and sunsets.

All of those are going to happen just as new moments.

Long-lasting experiences with our families will be the moments to treasure. I am excited for my grandchildren growing up.

You know the same is true with God and us. He is giv-

ing us a new year to grow and mature in our faith journey of life. He will be there beside us, encouraging us to take the moments to leap forward. He will be there if we stumble and give us a providing hand to step up again.

As we accept this new year arriving in our lives, it is up to us to take the action to grow and mature in our faith journey.

However, this will not happen for any of us if we take a passive action, sit back and say, “God, you teach me.”

I had a student say that once to me while coming into my classroom.

If we want to know and experience God in this new year, then we need to mark our calendar for some quality time spent with Him. Let us all remember that God will hear our prayers, meditations and be with us in worship and praise of Him. Let me suggest to you that reading new books, watching good entertainment and being involved in our faith group and with our friends is important part of growing in this new year on our faith journey.

It is our choice what we do with this new year. We can try to maintain status quote.

Or, we encounter “God’s Moments” and take leap forward in our personal life. As we encounter the “God Moments” of the new year, let us not let them slip by us without reacting to the “God Moments.”

I define “God Moments” as instead of thinking “well, that just happened,” we see God in a new friend appearing, new book and the church or society calling upon me when I never thought of that happening.

God is encouraging all us to come to 2014 with wonderful new experiences moving us in our faith journey.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Accomplish your weight management goals this year (BPT) — The new year gives everyone the perfect opportunity to start fresh.

For some, it may be a time to explore a new hobby or take on a new professional challenge. For others, starting fresh means moving into a new home or a new city.

And the new year for many people is a time to begin managing their weight.

Finding success in weight management does not mean giving up your favorite dishes and going hungry all the time. Instead, consider eating the foods you love

in moderation to help keep you moving toward your goal, while also enjoying everything else happening in the new year.

Try these tips to help you achieve your weight management goals, and feel good about yourself while doing so: • Keep track of your portions — Paying attention to the portions recommended for different foods will help you moderate how much you eat. To stay on track during chilly months, Weight Watchers Smart

Ones offers new portioncontrolled soups that provide 3 to 8 grams of fiber in each serving and will warm you up. These soups come in four flavors — spicy black bean, loaded potato, fire roasted vegetable and southwest style vegetable — and are perfect for taking to work or heating up at home.

• Get moving — For some, “working out” has some negative connotations. But there are ways to get your body moving while having fun and multitasking. Dancing, clean-

ing the house, shoveling the driveway, or even playing video games while standing up are all good ways to get moving more often. And if you’re already moving, consider adding new physical activities like yoga, taking a daily walk or trying a new class at the gym — anything to increase your heart rate and the movement of blood through your body.

• Check the labels — Look for options that contain a good or excellent source of protein to carry you through your afternoon or evening.

New Weight Watchers Smart Ones chicken strips and fries have 14 grams of protein and only 310 calories, satisfying your craving for this favorite without the guilt. And this year, Weight Watchers Smart Ones is also updating its packaging with new, easy-to-read labels to help you adhere to various dietary preferences, like gluten-free or vegetarian.

• Set the foundation — Achieving goals of any kind is easier to accomplish if you’re healthy and well rested. In addition to eating bet-

ter-for-you food and moving regularly, you should also be sure to get 7-9 hours of sleep every night and to protect yourself from germs by frequently washing your hands with soap.

These practices will give you a strong, healthy foundation as you manage your weight.

If you’ve put weight management on your list of resolutions for the new year, these tips can help you achieve your goals, leaving you ready to tackle a new challenge in your life.

Cold weather pushes rodents into homes (BPT) — Nearly a third (29 percent) of Americans have had a “visit” from one of winter’s least-welcome “guests” — rodents — according to a survey from the National Pest Management Association.

In fact, these pests enter approximately 21 million homes each winter, and nearly half of the infestations occur in the fall and winter months.

Rodents spread Salmonella and other bacteria

through their droppings, can trigger allergies and asthma attacks as a result of a protein in their urine, and bring with them other diseases such as murine typhus, infectious jaundice, Weil’s Disease and rat-bite fever. In addition to the health and sanitation concerns, rodents can also damage property as they chew through wood and drywall. They can even gnaw through electrical wires, causing fires.

NPMA’s rodent survey found: • Rats or mice are a problem in 29 percent of homes, including 35 percent of those in the Northeast; 30 percent in the South; 22 percent in the Midwest; and 28 percent in the West.

• Of those who have had a problem, 45 percent said it occurred in the fall and winter months.

• Rodents showed up most often in kitchens (50

percent), basements (27 percent), living rooms (25 percent), attics and garages (24 percent), bedrooms (22 percent) and bathrooms (11 percent).

To combat rodent infestations this season, NPMA recommends five home maintenance tips: • Inspect the outside of your home for easy access points. Seal any cracks and crevices with silicone caulk, paying special attention to areas where utility

pipes enter the structure.

Remember, mice can enter homes through holes the size of a dime and rats through holes the size of a quarter.

• Fill larger gaps inside your home with pieces of steel wool, as the roughness of the steel fibers deters pests. This works especially well with rodents because they are unable to gnaw through the material.

• Screen attic vents and openings to chimneys,

which could serve as potential entryways.

• Replace weather-stripping and repair loose mortar around the basement’s foundation and windows.

Properly landscape around the home to avoid providing sites where pets can hide. Keep shrubbery trimmed and ensure mulch is kept at least 15 inches from the foundation.

As a veteran of the United States Navy and Air Force, Robert “Bob” Horton, 83, has quite a few stories to tell about his life experiences.

However, Horton’s story begins in Osceola, where he was born and raised. Horton graduated from high school in 1948, and joined the Navy when he was 17, but had to wait until he was 18 to be sworn in.

After Horton completed basic training, there was no position available in the Naval Aviation Cadets for six to 10 months.

Horton chose the other option of going into

Family starts donation collection for victims of Colorado flooding

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Imagine losing everything you had in a flood.

That’s what people in Colorado are currently experiencing with September’s flooding.

“I don’t think people really realize how devastating it is when it hits a canyon like that, because the water has nowhere to go,” said Angela Haskell of Winterset. “I know we have floods here, and it’s horrible, but we’re flatter, so it kind of disperses. There, it comes down like a wall and it just takes everything out.”

Haskell and her family are trying to help those who have lost so much by collecting canned good and nonperishable food items.

Donation boxes have been set up at Southwestern Community College (SWCC) in Osceola, Creston and Red Oak. Great Western Bank in Osceola is a drop-off site for donations, too.

Haskell is a SWCC student, and her mother Karen Samson is an Osceola resident. The family’s first load has already been driven to Colorado. A second load will be driven to the state in another week.

2013 flood In Colorado, the natural disaster began Sept. 9 with a slow-moving cold front that stalled across the state. The cold front soon clashed with warm, humid monsoonal air coming in from the south.

The result was heavy rain and intense flooding along the state’s front range from Colorado Springs north to Fort Collins.

As days went by, the situation intensified with Boulder County, Colo., being the worst hit. Flood waters have spread across a range of almost 200 miles with 17 counties affected by the disaster.

Many roads and highways have been washed out and destroyed.

At least 1,750 people and 300 pets have been rescued

Helping hands in Haiti Weston Brokaw, Sue and Kooper Brimm share story of Haitian service trip

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

“Life-changing.”

That’s how Sue Brimm, a staff member at Clarke Community High School, described her experience in Haiti this summer.

Sue was a group chaperone for a service trip her son Kooper Brimm, 15, and Weston Brokaw, 16, completed in Haiti from June 12-22.

Kooper and Weston are both members of Clarke’s FFA chapter.

The program the boys participated in was through the Sioux Central FFA chapter. They were with other students from across the Midwest helping to construct Sukup SafeTHomes, which look like grain-bin houses.

To be selected for the service trip, the boys had to answer a three-ques-

tion essay about why they should be picked to help build homes in Haiti.

Earthquake In 2010, a major earthquake struck Haiti with the country’s capital Portau-Prince near the the center of the destruction. It was estimated 316,000 people died, 300,000 were injured and 1 million were left homeless by the disaster.

Kooper said the experience was fun, but there was a lot of work to do.

“Right when we got down there and stepped out of the airport, it was really different and kind of scary, a little bit, because all you could see for awhile was just people. It’s all people,” Kooper said. “Once we got driving around, it was pretty crazy to see the rivers of Styrofoam that were Please see HAITI Page 4

Sukup SafeTHomes Sukup Safe T Homes are engineered structures suitable for all phases of recovery effort.

They can provide shelter for 10 or more people and are resistant to moisture and termites.

They are built with a double heat-shield roof and screened-in lockable windows and doors.

The design can withstand 130 miles-per-hour winds and is virtually earthquake proof.

The homes are 20-gauge galvanized steel with a 70-year life span. The sidewalls are 8 feet high and the overall structure stands 13.5 feet from floor to roof peak.

Each unit incorporates two windows and a double-roof system to deflect heat. The cost of each home is $5,700.

by air and ground.

So far, eight people have died and six are still missing. Damages from the natural disaster are estimated at more than $1 billion.

1976 flood Even though Haskell and her family are a couple of states away from the flooding in Colorado, the situation still hits close to home for them. They are collecting items in memory of family members who died in the July 31, 1976, Big Thompson Canyon flood in Colorado.

The Big Thompson flood is Colorado’s deadliest flash flood in recorded history with 143 deaths.

“We lost six people that year, so this is our way of giving back to the people who are suffering now,” Haskell said. “We may not have money to do anything financially, really, but we’re volunteering to drive the material goods out to the food banks, and also to the shelters out there.”

Recommended Recommended donations items are food, diapers, pet food and other animal supplies. Haskell said a lot of material goods and clothing have already been supplied to those in need.

She said she has been in contact with United Way and the Red Cross, and has

“I had a chance to take a tour on a submarine, and that didn’t really appeal to me,” Horton said. “I couldn’t even walk standing up.”

Card of Thanks

Employment

The family of Ellen Peterson wishes to express gratitude to the many people who have given support in our time of loss. Just knowing our extended family and friends are with us in countless ways makes the journey easier.

Ellie must be thrilled to see the remembrances that all of you have brought through your presence, stories shared, flowers, cards, memorials, food and services.

We especially want to thank Clarke County Hospital and HCI of South Central Iowa for the wonderful care she received in her last days and your warm support of the family.

We also give special thanks to Pastor Julie Poor, Lisa Wallace and the United Methodist Women lunch committee for making her final service and family celebration a beautiful one.

Thanks to Kale Funeral Services for your professional services given with true caring and warmth.

We give a heartfelt thanks also to the staff and residents of Homestead Assisted Living for wonderful care and friendships in the last years of her life here.

She was a strong lady who will be missed by many. We find comfort in knowing she now has healing and peace along side her loved ones who went before her.

Thank you for the cards, phone calls, etc. on my 85th birthday. It was a great day and nice to be remembered.
