Osceola Foods GM appointed as city’s reservoir commission representative

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

While the people appointed to the city’s new boards are definitely qualified, there was one appointment that stood out among the rest.

For the city representative on Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC), new Osceola mayor T h o m a s Kedley Kedley appointed Clint Walters, general manager of Osceola Foods, to take former Mayor Fred Diehl’s seat on the commission.

“I felt Clint would be a great person to serve on that board because Osceola Foods, it’s the largest in-

dustry in Osceola — Clarke County, really. And, they use a lot of water. Water is a huge concern to industry around here,” Kedley said.

“I’ve talked to Clint for hours about the reservoir commission, and I felt he was a quality appointment.”

CCRC is in the process of building a new reservoir in northern Clarke County.

The commission has monthly meetings, which are typically every third Thursday at 9 a.m. at Clarke County Development Corporation.

The alternate is Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, to take Charlie Morgan’s seat.

Board appointments took place during the Jan. 5 Osceola City Council meeting.

City council takes an interest in possible recreational center

of Arkansas and wife of governor and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, answers questions during a campaign stop for her husband at Osceola Senior Center Jan. 4. The Huckabees were making campaign stops across the entire state of Iowa during the lead up to the Iowa caucuses in February. Janet Huckabee also stopped in Creston and Winterset that day.

Can Osceola have its own recreational center?

That’s been an issue on the back burner of local officials’ minds for many, many years.

“The parks and recreation center is kind of like my depot,” said new Osceola Mayor Thomas Kedley during a Jan. 5 city council meeting. “We are a growing community. As a teacher, I see students every day after school saying, ‘There’s nothing to do here.

There’s nothing do.’ If we want to keep quality of life good for citizens, we need to provide them something to do.”

In 2010, the parks and recreation board had authorized in its budget to work with an architect to develop a set of plans for a recreational center.

Three similar layouts were designed,

and they were presented to the city council late that year.

Since then, there hasn’t been any action on this concept from the city council. In 2012, the parks and recreation board commissioned a feasibility study and brought in a consultant to ascertain how much could be privately raised in the community, which figured approximately $1 million.

“Again, there was no action taken … it was shelved,” said Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk.

Wheeler New interest Wheeler said the recreation center came up again in the last city council/ mayoral election, especially with Kedley.

“Now, I’m not picturing, in fact I hope we wouldn’t move as quickly to

say, ‘Hey, we motion to approve these plans.’ But, I think this should be the beginning of a thorough discussion about this project because it has been hanging out in the community for several decades,” Wheeler said. “I think we’ve got renderings that go back to when the pool was still by the street shop. It goes back a long time.”

Council members were concerned about the project being a major investment for the community and how it could be funded. It’s a topic that would require special meetings, including those with members of the public. The council thought park and recreation board members would need to act as liaisons and spearhead the issue.

The daily costs of recreational centers include staff, utility bills, groundskeeping and more.

• Workshop series coming to Union County winter 2016 AMES – Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is offering a workshop to address food safety Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and MarketReady strategies.

The three, all-day workshops will be held at the ISU Extension and Outreach Union County Office in Creston on consecutive Thursdays in 2016, Jan. 28 , Feb. 4 and Feb. 11. Producers can register for and attend one or more the workshops.

“Producers investing in GAP training demonstrate their commitment to their customers,” said Angela Shaw, assistant professor in food science and human nutrition and extension specialist in food safety at Iowa State University. “And with the local food movement becoming so prevalent at Iowa farmers markets, restaurants and large institutions, vendors need to know the importance of assuring customers that they are selling safe food.”

Further, many of these places that serve food to Iowans away from home may request some type of food safety assurance – completion of GAP training provides this assurance to the foodservice. A certificate of completion is given at the end of each workshop, which provides documentation that a producer has taken the training.

Level 1 GAP workshops are for growers who provide food to consumers through community-supported agriculture or farmers markets, or are considering retail foodservice sales.

Training covers good agriculture best practices and market considerations.

Level 2 GAP workshops guide farmers in the development of a written farm food safety plan.

Farmers considering sales to retail foodservices such as grocers, restaurants, hospitals and other institutions, and those interested in adding value to fresh produce and selling

Perhaps you sent a floral spray if so we saw it there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend would say.

Perhaps you were not there at all just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you very much...

During this time of sorrow we learn how much our friends and family really mean to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness and sympathy at a time when it was deeply appreciated.

products in a convenience form will have the tools to demonstrate GAPs are in place after attending the workshop.

Iowa MarketReady Training is for local food producers who currently sell their products directly to consumers and are looking into wholesale marketing to restaurants, grocery stores and institutions. It is not intended for home gardeners. This course is taught in two parts, the first is an online pre-workshop activity that is viewed at home before attending the face-to-face workshop.

At the workshop, attendees will hear from a panel of grocery produce buyers and restaurant chefs.

“MarketReady training helps commercial food producers decide whether they are ready to expand to meet the demands of a wholesale market,” said Linda Naeve, extension program specialist in the value added agriculture program at Iowa State University. “It provides them with the tools they need to meet the market demands.”

MarketReady Online Activity: Prior to Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016 MarketReady Face-to-face workshop: Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016 GAP Level 1: Thursday, Feb. 4, 2016 GAP Level 2: Thursday, Feb.11, 2016 Registration deadline is midnight, 10 days before the workshop date. Cost for each workshop is $55 and includes training materials, lunch and refreshments.

Ruth Stearns Osceola

Ruth Arlene Stearns, 90, of Osceola died Jan. 7, 2016, at Clarke County Hospital in Osceola.

Funeral service Stearns were 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12, at Kale Funeral Home, 301 S. Main St., in Osceola with the Rev. Tom Murr officiating. Visitation with family present was from 6 to 8 p.m.

Monday, Jan. 11, at the funeral home. Interment was in Woodburn Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be directed to Unity Point Hospice. Online condolences may be left at www.kalefuneralhome.com.

Ruth Arlene Stearns, daughter of Fern L. Thompson Boyles and Floyd Ferris Boyles, was born Aug. 24, 1925, in Warren County on the original Boyles property west of New Virginia.

Her family lived on vari-

ous farms in the New Virginia area. When the depression hit they lost all they had and moved into a little house in New Virginia. She attended grade school in New Virginia through sixth grade, and then her family moved to Fristoe, Missouri. She finished her grade school at Concord country school.

She attended high school at Cross Timbers, Missouri, for almost two years when her family moved back to Iowa to the farm she was born on.

In March 1942, her parents moved to a farm near Woodburn. Ruth stayed with her Grandmother Boyles until she graduated from New Virginia High School in May 1942.

She worked in Des Moines after graduation for nearly one year, and then returned to Woodburn to help her parents on the farm.

On Feb. 26, 1944, she married Otis William Stearns of Woodburn. They spent the first two years on the family farm north of Woodburn, then in 1945, they moved to his grandparent’s farm on the Lucas-Clarke county

OBITUARIES line, which they later purchased and became a Century Farm in 1986. In 1962, she took a class in cake decorating and for the next 30 years, she made cakes and taught cake decorating classes. In 1973, she started cooking at the congregate mealsite in Osceola. She enjoyed working there until health problems forced her to retire.

Ruth attended the Methodist Church at Woodburn many years where she was a member of Women’s Society, taught Sunday school and was leader of the youth group.

Ruth is survived by her sons, Dale (Jan) Stearns of Parkersburg, Darrel (Carol) Stearns of Jewell, Dennis (Marlene) Stearns of Woodburn, Donald Stearns of Grand Prairie, Texas, and Dwight (Pam) Stearns of Earlham; daughter-in-law Debra Stearns of Lucas; 19 grandchildren, Mark (Lindsey) Stearns, Chad (Janie) Stearns, Dawn Stearns, Michelle Stearns, Sara (James Deike) Stearns, Kendal (Deb) Kline, Darren (Amber) Stearns, Ricardo Cas-

William “Bill” Hammons, 62, of Creston died Thursday, Dec. 31, 2015, at Greater Regional M e d i c a l Hammons Center in Creston.

A memorial gathering was held from 2 to 7 p.m.

William Allen Hammons, son of Irene Vera Comer and William Silas Ham-

these five tax tips from H&R Block: 1. File early and be cautious. Filing your taxes early will allow you to claim your refund before a criminal can.

Before you file, protect your personal information by installing a security software with anti-virus and firewall protections.

2. Keep your paper records safe. Shred records you are no longer using and keep your social security card and any sensitive documents under lock and key.

3. Do not respond to individuals posing as a tax agency. The IRS does not demand immediate payment without sending a bill in the mail first.

If you receive a phone call or an email with an external link, do not click on the link or share personal or financial information unless you personally know the person on the other end.

4. Change your password.

The 2015 tax season saw a significant increase of tax fraud in the do-it-yourself (DIY) space. When using at-

home tax software, such as H&R Block’s DIY products, create a strong password with capitalization, numbers, and symbols or avoid the risk by visiting a tax preparer.

5. Use tax identity protection services. Visit the IRS website to learn more about how to protect your identity.

Additionally, H&R Block’s Tax Identity Shield provides clients with tools to reduce the risk of tax identity theft and resolution services, if a client becomes a victim of tax identity theft.

Important information for AIR OPTIX® AQUA (lotrafilcon B) contact lenses: For daily wear or extended wear up to 6 nights for near / far-sightedness. Risk of serious eye problems (i.e., corneal ulcer) is greater for extended wear. In rare cases, loss of vision may result. Side effects like discomfort, mild burning or stinging may occur.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

From Chamber/Main Street to you

Rate increase

By Osceola Water Works Board Osceola

As a courtesy to all Osceola Water Works customers, your water works board would like to inform the public of the recent decision to increase service rates 10 percent, effective Feb. 1, 2016.

In a Jan. 7 public hearing, Osceola Water Works Board presented the case for the increase, citing the need for both infrastructure and sanitation

protocol improvements. This increase is intended to cover the ever-growing costs for your water treatment — keeping it safe, drinkable and flowing strong throughout the city.

For more information or to see how the rate will affect your water bill, you can go to OsceolaWaterWorks.com and select the “In the News” tab or stop by the water works office at 208 W. Jefferson St. Thank you, we appreciate your patronage and look forward to a great 2016.

officials from the November council/mayoral elections. “(In) Osceola, it’s just not the council members and myself sitting up here. It’s everybody. We need to work together and keep this place great,” Kedley said.

Other boards The other city official appointments made were for Osceola Park and Recreation Board: • Eric Zoske (two-year term) to

take Sara Lumsden’s seat • Jorge Avalos (two-year term) to take Sarah Truitt’s seat • Lindsay Diehl (two-year term) to take Stephanie Snell’s seat Kedley also appointed Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis as mayor pro tem, in the case he is unavailable to be at meetings or other functions.

“People serving on boards and things like that, we’re all just trying to keep Osceola great. Thank you for that,” Kedley said.

REC CENTER: Continued from Page 1

“Being there at that time, it really was the ‘how do we pay for it, how do we keep it running,’ that was part of the problem and why there were other things that got in the way,” said Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis. “...

(It) doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. It is an idea, by the way, that’s five years old.”

Fotiadis then asked about where the city is with payment for the aquatic center. Wheeler said that bond will retire in 2020.

Other projects such as the train depot and downtown streetscape were also brought up.

Working together Wheeler said Clarke Community School District is also looking at rec-

reational facilities.

“We want to make sure that we avoid competing projects,” he said.

“It shouldn’t have to be that way, but I don’t want to go to the public with two projects and we end up in a competition.”

The council approved staff referring to parks and recreation members and other local officials and giving them a general statement of council interest in pursuing potential plans.

“On the rec center, I think that’s a good first step to move that project forward,” Wheeler said. “I guess, my expectation is some very serious review of what was put together here and not the expectation that we’re going to tweak something here or there and bring it back. But, no, we really want to dissect these plans.”

Iowa weekly fuel update, outlook Average retail gasoline prices in Iowa have fallen 3.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $1.83/g recently, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,036 gas outlets in Iowa.

This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.8 cents per gallon in the last week to $1.97/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy. com.

Areas nearby Iowa and their current gas price climate: Quad Cities- $1.76/g, down 2.7 cents per gallon from last week’s $1.78/g.

Des Moines- $1.89/g, down 4.4 cents per gallon from last week’s $1.93/g.

Omaha- $1.85/g, down 2.7 cents per gallon from last week’s $1.88/g.

Including the change in gas prices in Iowa during the past week, prices recently were 13.9 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 17.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 3.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 15.6 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“The first week of January seems to be on par with prior years,” said Jeff Pelton, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. “History has shown that 12

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

of the past 16 January’s have yielded the worst demand for the year. If Wednesday’s EIA report is indicative of things to come in the next 3 weeks, this January may prove to be no different. The tension between Saudi Arabia and Iran while traditionally would cause a rise in oil prices, the times have changed and the incentive now is for the Saudis to pump away and keep Iran’s coffers as empty as they can. Add to the mix the turmoil in the Chinese financial markets which has roiled the US stock market and you should get gas prices which will decline through the month.”

Winter weather months prompt heating and carbon monoxide safety warnings • Heating fires are a leading cause of U.S. home fire deaths With the winter months upon us, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is reminding homeowners about the fire dangers associated with heating equipment.

Improper use of such equipment like portable or stationary space heaters, wood burning stoves and fireplaces can be incredibly dangerous, and their misuse is a leading cause of U.S. home fire deaths.

According to NFPA, half of home heating equipment fires are reported during the months of December, January, and February. More than half of the home heating fire deaths resulted from fires that started when something that could burn, like upholstered furniture, clothing, blankets and bedding, was too close to heating equipment.

During the colder months there is also an increased risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Fuel-burning equipment, including vehicles and generators running in an attached garage, can produce dangerous levels of CO and should be vented to the outside to avoid it from building up in your home.

In a 2012 NFPA report, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 80,100 non-fire CO incidents in which carbon monoxide was found, or an average of nine such calls per hour in 2010.

The number of incidents jumped 96 percent from 40,900

incidents reported in 2003. This surge, according to NFPA, is most likely because of the increased use of CO detectors, which alert people to the presence of CO. Some heating equipment requires proper installation to reduce the risk of fire injuries.

When installing wood burning stoves or gas heaters, NFPA recommends following the manufacturer’s instructions or having a professional perform the installation.

Installing and maintaining CO alarms can also help reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you smell gas in your gas heater or other appliance, do not light it. Leave the home immediately and call your local fire department or gas company.

To ensure a safe and cozy winter this year, NFPA offers some easy tips to follow: • Use your oven to cook food only. Never use it to heat your home.

• Hire a qualified professional to clean and inspect heating equipment and chimneys every year.

• Turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.

• Place a sturdy screen in front of your fireplace to prevent sparks from flying into the room, and burn only dry, seasoned wood. Allow ashes to cool before disposing them in a metal container, and ensure that they are kept a safe distance from the

home.

• If you need to warm a vehicle, remove it from the garage immediately after starting it. Do not run a vehicle or other fueled engine or motor indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle is not covered with snow.

• During and after a snowstorm make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of snow build-up.

• Test smoke alarms and CO alarms monthly. Properly maintained alarms can save lives in the event of a fire.

About the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Founded in 1896, NFPA is a global, nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, property and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards.

The association delivers information and knowledge through more than 300 consensus codes and standards, research, training, education, outreach and advocacy; and by partnering with others who share an interest in furthering the NFPA mission.

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.

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.

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

Interstate 35 wins intense POI battle with Lenox Roadrunners erase 19-point second-half deficit

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

LENOX — From the opening tip, Friday’s Pride of Iowa Conference game between the Lenox Tigers and the Interstate 35 Roadrunners featured that big-game, playoff-type atmosphere.

Every basket and every call on the floor was met with either a round of applause or jeers from a crowd that was there to see two of the four teams tied atop the Pride of Iowa Conference standings.

Emotions ran high on the court, as well, with players diving on the floor for every loose ball and battling tooth and nail for every rebound.

Interstate 35 rallied from a 19-point deficit in the second half for a 73-66 win to leave itself in a tie with Bedford for first place in the conference, while Lenox dropped a game behind and in a three-way tie with Nodaway Valley and Pleasantville.

The game featured incredible individual performances from Interstate 35 all-state point guard Jaylan White, who scored 22 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter to go with 10 assists and eight steals, and from Lenox’s 6-9 post player Spencer Brown, who finished with 23 points, 23 rebounds and five blocked shots.

But those performances, and the game itself, seemed secondary to the situation that unfolded midway through the fourth quarter.

Just as Interstate 35 climbed back from the 19-point deficit to tie the game at 59-59, tempers flared and emotions reached a boiling point, culminating in a brouhaha that saw the benches clear and left Lenox a man down for the remainder of the game.

After grabbing a defensive rebound, White took a hard flagrant foul from Lenox’s Sam Donaldson. While White and Donaldson were tangled up on the floor, Donaldson was issued a technical foul, resulting in his ejection from the game.

In the madness that ensued, Donaldson had to be removed from the court by Brown and Lenox assistant coach Clint Powell.

White made three of four technical free throws to give Interstate 35 its first lead of the game at 62-59 and the Roadrunners never trailed the rest of the game.

“We had a lead, they chipped into it and we’re still playing hard,” Lenox head coach Jesse Cox said. “There was some dialogue between all the players — both sides.

Both crowds probably fell into the trap of remembering that we’re just out there playing a

game and let the boys play the game and have fun doing it. I think everybody in the gym forgot about that, myself included. Everyone just got too emotional instead of letting the boys go out and have fun.”

Clarke’s comeback attempt comes up short

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Freshman Cobey Robins had his best game of his young career, but a shorthanded Clarke team came up short in it comeback attempt against Nodaway Valley here Saturday, falling 76-57.

Robins kept Clarke afloat in the first half, scoring 11 of the team’s 21 points, including three Robins 3-pointers, as Nodaway Valley built a 36-21 halftime lead.

Nodaway Valley also received a big first half from freshman Spencer Lamb, who hit three 3-pointers and scored 10 points.

Nodaway Valley quickly stretched its lead to 40-21 early in the third quarter, before Clarke began chipping away at the lead.

Troy Morgan got a layup and freshman Conner Deutsch sank a 3-pointer, cutting the lead to 41-26.

The Indians went on a flurry at the end of the third quarter, as Robins hit back-to-back 3-pointers, making the score 4738. After four straight

Nodaway Valley points, Morgan dished to Robins for a basket, followed by a Brandyne Olin l a y u p Morgan and then Robins stole an inbounds pass and got a layup, cutting the lead to 51-44 with :28.8 left in the third.

Beau Weinheimer ended the quarter with a big 3-pointer for Nodaway Valley, though, and the Wolverines outscored Clarke 22-13 in the fourth quarter.

Robins finished with a game-high 26 points, including six of the team’s 11 made 3-pointers. He added four assists and three steals in the loss that dropped Clarke to 1-9 for the season.

“Cobey’s been struggling all year,” head coach James Larson said. “We’ve been talking to him and building him up, telling him just keep shooting.

He’s too good of a player not to have a bust out game. I think he’s starting to feel a little more comfortable. I knew what he could do, we were just waiting for it.”

Deutsch added 11 points

and seven steals, while Morgan scored 11 points with four rebounds and four assists. Olin scored two points and grabbed a team-high eight rebounds with three assists.

Justin Adams scored five points with five rebounds, while Byron Rivera added two points and three assists.

The Indians assisted on 16 of 21 made baskets.

“When we play as a team and we don’t care who scores, we just pass, pass, pass and screen for each other, we’re tough,” Larson said. “I told the guys, ‘any of you guys can score, but we have to get it all together.’

If we play for each other and swing the ball, we can be ef- Larson fective.”

Clarke was without post players Hunter Simpson and Grant Wishon for the game. Simpson is out for the season with a knee injury, while Wishon rolled an ankle, but is expected back in the Indian lineup this week.

Clarke travels to Knoxville on Friday and to Martensdale-St. Marys on Monday before hosting Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on Tuesday.

Travelin’ light By the Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

“Come on! No one’ll know. I just didn’t have time to study. I’m runnin’ on empty here; can’t you help me this once? Just hold up one finger for ‘a’, two for ‘b,’ just like this.”

Bob was horrified. His best friend Ted had never asked him to do anything like this. “Hey, buddy, I just can’t do that. You’re going to have to figure it out yourself. Sorry.”

So Ted sweated it out. He just had to pass this test. If his grades dropped one little bit, he wouldn’t make it to his first choice college. He’d given Bob such a hard time about his heavy backpack yesterday, ribbed him about his own lightweight pack and bragged about how he was “travelin’ light.” Didn’t seem so funny now, nope. Why hadn’t he studied last night? Why hadn’t he paid more attention in class?

Across the aisle, Bob zipped through the same test.

“Boy, am I glad I studied,” he thought. Glancing down and toward Ted, he saw the anxiety all over him. “I can’t believe he asked me to cheat for him.” Bob still couldn’t believe his best friend had asked him to do something like that.

A few weeks later, Bob got his college acceptance letter.

He ran to show his folks, and they told him how proud of him they were. His dad’s voice stopped him just as he was going to call Ted. “Son, wait a minute. Don’t call Ted just now, OK? I saw his dad today and he didn’t make it.

Seems his grades were too low. They told him he could reapply next year, after he takes some remedial classes at the junior college. Wanted you to know before you see him, that’s all.”

How prepared are you in your relationship with God? Your life as a disciple (learner) of Jesus Christ?

A strong, living, passionate relationship with God through Jesus will prepare you for whatever and wherever

your life takes you.

Let’s listen in as Jesus teaches us about this principle: “The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

The five who were foolish took no oil for their lamps, but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. When the bridegroom was delayed, they all lay down and slept.

At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and welcome him!’ All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.’ But the others replied, ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked.

Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Sir, open the door for us!’ But he called back, ‘I don’t know you!’ So stay awake and be prepared, because you do not know the day or hour of my return.” (Matthew 25:1-13) Do you have extra oil for your lamp’? Is your spiritual life brimming full with God’s grace? Or like those foolish bridesmaids, is your lamp barely full?

Do you have to shake it to tell if there’s any spiritual fuel in there? Is your spirit travelin’ light’? Better fuel up!

Build your prayer life, get into scripture, soak in some good Christian music. Who knows how much spiritual fuel you’ll need today!

NEWS Three strains of influenza currently circulating in Iowa THURSDAY • JANUARY 14, 2016

Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) said flu activity in Iowa is increasing, prompting IDPH to increase the level of geographic spread of influenza from local to regional spread.

All three flu viruses covered by this year’s vaccines — influenza A (H3), influenza A (H1N1), influenza B (Victoria) — are currently circulating in Iowa. The two influenza A viruses are covered by the traditional trivalent (three strain) flu vaccine and this influenza B virus is also included in the quadrivalent (four strain) flu vaccine.

IDPH and CDC remind Iowans the influenza vaccine is still the best way to protect against the flu.

“It’s still not too late to receive the vaccine to en-

sure protection before the peak of flu season hits,” said IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk.

Flu season typically peaks in late January or February.

“Additionally, even if you have had the flu already, it’s possible to become ill with one of the other strains circulating.

Vaccination will protect against getting influenza a second or even third time this year,” Quinlisk said.

Many people assume there is no treatment for the flu beyond over-the-counter medications and rest.

There are actually three anti-viral medications a doctor can prescribe which make flu illness milder, shorter, and reduce the risk of ending up in the hospital or dying from influenza.

Antivirals work best if

started within 48 hours or sooner of when flu symptoms begin. Those at highest risk of complications should contact their health care provider as soon as flu symptoms begin.

The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses.

The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches.

Illness typically lasts two to seven days. Influenza may cause severe illness or even death.

So far this season, there have been four influenza-related deaths in Iowa: two middle-aged (41 to 60 years of age) adults in central Iowa, one middle-aged adult in eastern Iowa, and an elderly adult (81+ years of age) in central Iowa.

Influenza is not a “reportable disease” in Iowa, which means doctors are not required to notify IDPH each time a patient tests positive for influenza; however, IDPH conducts year-round influenza surveillance through the Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network.

This surveillance indicates what types of influenza viruses are circulating and how widespread influenza illness is. For more information about where and what kind of influenza is in Iowa, go to https://idph. iowa.gov/influenza/reports.

Contact your health care provider or local health department to find out where the vaccine is available in your community or use the Flu Vaccine Finder at www. flu.gov/.
