By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Mallory Bakley’s great-grandfather would have been so proud of her.

In 1941, Marvin Paul was the first person in Osceola Big Chief FFA chapter to receive an American Degree. In October, Mallory received her own FFA American Degree at the 88th National FFA Convention and Expo Oct. 28-31 in Louisville, Ky. Mallory is also a fourth generation FFA member from her family in the Osceola Big Chief chapter.

“To me, it’s a legacy that you know the next generation is going to carry on,”

said Mallory’s grandfather George Paul. “There’s going to be a future in agriculture and there’s going to be a future in the rest of the family.

It just carries on that far.”

The degree The American FFA Degree is bestowed up on a select group of students in recognition of their years of academic and professional excellence.

Sponsored by ADM Crop Risk Services, Case IH, DuPont Pioneer, Elanco, Farm Credit and Syngenta as a special project of the National FFA Foundation, the award recognizes demonstrated ability and outstanding Please see AMERICAN DEGREE, Page 4

There are superheroes among us every day, you just might not recognize them without the special cape.

On Friday, Jan. 15, retired Clarke elementary teacher Mike Boldon was named a superhero by his current and former students.

A surprise ceremony was held in his honor for his 44 years in the school district.

“Thank you very much,” Boldon said. “This is quite a surprise. I’m overwhelmed.”

The theme song from the “Superman” movie was played as Boldon walked up to the front of the gymnasium.

Boldon has devoted countless hours to his work full-time and substitute teaching.

Good work One by one, elementary students dressed as their own superheroes

went down the line and said what they loved and admired most about Boldon during the ceremony.

The students mentioned the little things Boldon continuously does that make an impact.

Some examples were watering the plants, delivering mail, always opening doors for people, filling the ice trays for teachers, reading to children, always knowing students’ names and offering a hearty welcome to everybody in the morning.

The main theme each student mentioned was Boldon’s kindness.

Lasting impact Eric Barr of Osceola, one of Boldon’s former second-grade students, also spoke during the ceremony.

“My first class here in Osceola was Mr. Boldon, and he was a really great teacher,” Barr said. “And, I remember, one time, I had a problem a little bit with paying attention. Maybe you guys have problems with paying attention?”

The majority of the students nodded their heads and shouted, “Yeah!”

Barr said he didn’t get his work done when he was a young student and had to stay inside for recess. Barr remembered Boldon took the time to help him with his work.

“Mr. Boldon was big on honesty, integrity and character,” Barr said.

“He always inspired me to tell the truth, even when it kind of hurt to tell the truth, (and to have) integrity. As far as character, being a good person and meaning what you say. I’d like to thank Mr. Boldon for being my second-grade teacher and helping make me the person (I am) today.”

Complete surprise Boldon said he has received thank you cards and pictures in the past from students, but never would’ve have anticipated anything like this.

“All these children, you thought, somebody would have squealed something,” Boldon joked. “This was a big surprise.”

When the temperatures drop, ice fishing heats up.

The third annual West Lake Ice Out ice fishing tournament is planned the weekend of Jan. 30-31.

“There’s nothing else to do in the winter,” joked Cody Mundy, organizer of the event. “The hunting season and things like that are all over. It’s a fun sport. Everybody gets together. It’s a competitive but fun tournament.”

A new event has been added to the tournament this year. A banquet will be held at Osceola Eagles starting 4 p.m. Jan. 30. The dinner will be served at 6 p.m.

Pictured are ice fishers during a previous West Lake Ice Out tournament.

The banquet Mundy said the purpose of the banquet is to get more people to Osceola and have them stay in the area longer. Plus, a banquet makes the ice fishing tournament a larger event and allows the contestant to get more out of their entry fees, especially

with a meal added.

“We want to just make it bigger and more fun event for everyone,” Mundy said.

The West Lake Ice Out tournament begins Sunday, Jan. 31. Registration is at 6 a.m. with the tournament starting at 8 a.m. The weighin is scheduled for noon.

The cost of the tournament is $75 per team of up to two fishermen (cash only).

Registration may be done at the banquet or during tournament registration the morning of the event.

The location of the event is the north boat ramp at West Lake.

Most participants Mundy said he is expecting the tournament to have approximately 400 participants. The number of participants has doubled each year.

“It’s grown well because every year, every person who enters goes home with

This is still the case for this year’s tournament, even with the expectation of 400 ice fishers.

The first through 10th place teams will receive plaques for the competition. There will also be cash prizes for first, second and third place. The payout is determined by the number of entries.

For safety purposes, Mundy makes trips to measure the ice at West Lake. However, if something happens or there is inclement weather, the event will have a reschedule date.

Ashland Ave., in Indianola with visitation prior to services starting at 9 a.m. Burial will be in Indianola I.O.O.F. Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

Flora Opal Scholl was born the daughter of Arthur and Valeta (Howell)

Scholl, Dec. 13, 1934, on a farm in Clarke County near Murray. She joined four older brothers, John, Ernie, William and Clarence. Always known as Opal, she grew up in Clarke County and graduated from Osceola High School in 1953.

Opal married William (Bill) Fridley on May 9, 1953, at Fremont. They began their lives together on the farm at Cool, south of Indianola in Warren County. They had three daughters, Diane, Brenda and Berta. Opal worked with Bill in farming, putting up grain bins with their Stormor bin business and owning and operating Fridley Farm Supply on the west side of Indianola starting in 1972. During that time, she also spent much time

in service for Jesus and her community at her church Fairview Christian Union.

Later Opal worked in housekeeping and activities at Good Samaritan Center in Indianola.

During that time, on Sept.

26, 1981, Bill passed while working on the farm. On Jan. 6, 1984, Opal married Henry Wonderlin and moved to his farm near St. Charles. They lived there for over 12 years before moving to Indianola. Opal was well known for her willingness to help friends and neighbors, her sense of humor and her love of painting scenery on saw blades. She was a tremendous gardener and shared produce with her friends and neighbors.

Opal spent her last three years residing at Vintage

Hills Assisted Living in Indianola with her beloved dog Missy. She moved onto Heaven and into the arms of her Jesus on Jan. 12. She was preceded in death by her parents Arthur and Valeta Scholl; her brothers, John, Ernie and William and her husbands, Bill Fridley and Henry Wonderlin. She is survived by her brother Clarence Scholl of Osceola; three daughters, Diane (Kelly) Clevenger, Brenda (Les) Gavin and Berta (Rod) Heemstra; eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Iowa permit-to-carry permit renewal information Iowa law governing non-professional permits to carry weapons changed Jan. 1, 2011. A major change was that Iowa went from a “may issue” state to a “shall issue” state.

Before 2011, individual county sheriffs had discretion to deny permit applications for any reason or for no reason. After the law change, sheriffs are required to issue permits to qualified applicants who have met the training requirements and passed a background check, unless that applicant is dis-

qualified by law.

Another change was that permits were issued for a five year period, rather than for one year, as formerly.

Permit holders whose fiveyear permit expires in the coming months face some changes in renewal requirements. To renew a current permit, the applicant must provide evidence of completion of handgun safety training, certain other firearm training, or the applicant may choose to qualify in a regular course of live fire under the supervision of a

certified instructor.

A typical course of fire for qualification is ten at 21 to 25 feet. Many gun clubs will be holding qualifications periodically to accommodate those whose permits expire in the next 12 months. Permit holders who qualify under an instructor should present their signed qualification certificates at the time of renewal application. Certificates are good for 12 months.

Iowa permit law requires that an application for the renewal of a current per-

mit must be received by the sheriff’s office at least 30 days before the expiration date to be eligible for the statutory $25 renewal fee.

Applications received later than 30 days before the permit expiration date will be considered applications for a new permit and the statutory new permit issuance fee is $50.

For dates and locations of qualifications in the area, call 641-203-5296. For more answers to frequently asked questions, go online at dps. state.ia.us./SF2379/FAQ.

OSCEOLA CITY COUNCIL Thomas Kedley, Mayor

Fry kicks off 2016 legislative session The 2016 Iowa legislative session kicked off recently amid the traditional pomp and circumstance including speeches by legislative leaders, Gov. Branstad’s Condition of the State address and the Chief Justice of the Iowa Supreme Court’s Condition of the Judiciary speech.

Rep. Joel Fry, R-Osceola, said balancing the state’s budget and quickly setting education funding are among his top priorities.

“The state needs to budget just like Iowa families and businesses do,” Fry said. “That means we must continue to spend less than the state collects, and fight against using one-time money to fund ongoing expenses.”

He continued, “Additionally, the House will look to set school funding as quickly as possible. It is important to our local school districts that we get this done early, but it is equally important that they can depend on the commitments the Legislature makes.”

Last session, the Iowa House approved a state aid increase just two weeks into the session only to see it languish in the Iowa Senate until spring.

During the session, Rep.

Fry can be reached at joel. fry@legis.iowa.gov or through the House switchboard at 515-281-3221.

The legislative session is slated to last 100 days, ending April 19.

achievements in agricultural business, production, processing or service programs.

To be eligible, FFA members must have earned and productively invested $10,000 through a supervised agricultural experience program in which they start, own or hold a professional position in an existing agriculture enterprise.

Recipients must also complete 50 hours community service and demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities and civic involvement.

Each recipient of the American FFA Degree receives a gold American FFA Degree key, certificate and matted frame after being recognized on stage at that national convention.

Numbers have grown When Mallory’s great-grandfather Marvin received his American Degree, only 137 people nationally received the award.

This year, Iowa alone had 127 American Degree recipients. Nationally, 3,434 American Degrees were awarded. It’s the highest, and last degree, a member can achieve.

“It was a lot of hard work, so at the end, it’s very rewarding,” Mallory said.

Throughout her years in FFA, Mallory took records and worked with cattle. She currently is a junior majoring in animal science at Iowa State University. A recipient of FFA’s American Degree must be in the collegiate level.

“I really wanted to get my American Degree,” Mallory said. “I just had to keep my records, keep going with my records, which I take anyway.”

EDITORIAL FY 2017 budget overview

Family pride Mallory’s mother Dory Bakley recalled her own four years in FFA when she was a student. She was an officer in the chapter, too.

“At that time, not a lot of us got degrees,” Dory said. “… I don’t think there was very many people when I was in high school that got (them).”

George echoed similar statements about his time in FFA. “It’s quite a feather in your cap if you can get that far,” he said.

The family pride throughout the generations runs deep. Stitched on George’s hat was the name “Paul Farms Shorthorns.”

He said members of his family have grown up around cattle, and have stuck with it throughout the decades.

“It started with a bucket calf for Mallory,” Dory said. “So, I suppose I did carry that with me because I wanted her to have a bucket calf.”

Mallory said that it taught her a lot of responsibility working with cattle and the financial aspects of it.

“She has a lot more love for it than I ever did,” Dory said while laughing. “I guess I thought it was important, though.”

Full circle Mallory is probably a lot like her great-grandfather in many ways.

George remembered Marvin talking about participating in FFA activities when he was growing up.

He said his father was always a sponsor, chaperone or helper whenever it was needed at activities.

“It was just part of his nature,” George said. “He believed in the aspects of Future Farmers of America.

Those were his big goals.”

As the budget debate begins for FY 2017, it is important to understand the facts upon which the budget is built and the context in which the discussion occurs.

The difference between the FY 2016 and FY 2017 revenue estimates is $282 million (4 percent growth). The difference between FY 2016 actual spending and the FY 2017 revenue estimate is $153 million (2 percent growth).

Therefore, revenue growth is $153 million and any additional spending ideas from the Legislature must fit within that $153 million figure. It is calculated by simply subtracting the FY 2016 Actual Spending Amount from the FY 2017 Revenue Estimate.

The 2016 Legislature arrives in January with several “builtin” spending increases totaling $207.8 million already approved by the Legislature and the governor or required by the Code. They include things

JOEL FRY

like Medicaid, the Teacher Leadership and Compensation System and the Business Property Tax Credit.

In addition to the “builtins,” the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency projects the 2016 Legislature is facing several more anticipated increases totaling $68.6 million.

They are almost entirely made up by state employee salary increases.

On top of the “built-ins” and “anticipated expenses,” there are the yearly increases in funding requested by various

Vicious Fishing Sportsman’s Warehouse Ultimate Fishing Gear Thermacell Merrill Axle Bronze sponsors: Dad’s Bait Shop American State Bank SWCC Vexilar Fish USA Get Bitten Theisens HT Fishing SWCC Sports Shooting Team Farm And Home Super 8

entities. Some of those are supplemental state aid for K-12 schools and additional funding for the Regents universities and community colleges.

All of that must fit within the $153 million of growth and within the overall on-going revenue amount that is projected to be collected in FY 2017.

The House is going through a process of finding a way to provide K-12 schools with the most responsible increase possible while not sacrificing other priorities like public safety and economic growth.

That process has started and in time the House Appropriations Committee will be sharing their recommendations for this year’s budget.

The recipients were Jennifer Brandt, Kimberly Eddy, Mallory Bakley and Ashley Jackson.

A problem confronting the early settlers was where the children would go to school.

After building home and shelter for their families and animals, the community needed to provide a center for learning and a place of worship.

Each township was granted land for the use of a public schools. The country schools were supposedly situated in the township so that one was not more than two miles apart from another in the county. Thereby, no child should have more than two miles to go to school.

Country school buildings were usually one-room buildings for all eight grades, with one teacher teaching all subjects in all of the grades — some grades at any time having one or two children.

Starting school was the first rung in the ladder of life to be attempted. Many of the older boys attended school only in the winter — helping with the farm work the remainder of the year. Many teachers started to teach when they were 16 years of age, as there was no age limit then.

The one-room schoolhouse is too much a part of America to be forgotten, and its lessons live on in the words of those who learned there as children and grew up to mold the nation.

The little country schoolhouse did its job well.

These are the names of the county one-room schools: Conard, Morman, Valley Forge, Spellerberger, LaPorte, Keys, Brush College, Bunker Hill, Meyers, Morrow, Spick, Mackerman, Bennett, Prairie Grove, Jones, Jones Port, Sunny Dale, Van Patton, Washington Center, Mud Sock, Hazel Dell, Stephenson, Frame, Pearly Smith, Hazel Ridge, Pleasant Ridge, McIntosh, Bell, Bedee, Banker, Knotts, Myers, Backer, Troy Center, Burnett, West Prairie, Holcomb, Maple Grove, Poil, Long Creek, Green Valley, Cornfield College, Sunny Dale, Sunny Side, Rocky Dell, Olmstead, Grissin, Ward Center, Crooks, Hogan, Lone Oak, Simms, Sanders, Pleasant Valley or View, Hopeville, Beaman College, Grand River Valley, Gonseth, North Prairie, Fuller, Center, Fairview, Oakland, Greg Chapel, Pine, Brushwood, Frog Pond, Buzzard Roost, Harris, Oak

Panthers pull away from Clarke

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Creston used a 21-5 run in the first half here on Monday, pulling away to a 56-37 victory over the Clarke Lady Indians.

After Creston built an early 10-5 lead, Clarke closed to within 10-8 on a Baylie Balcaen basket and one free throw from Sydnee Redman.

That was as close as the Lady Indians would get the rest of the way, however.

Creston senior point guard Taylor Briley was effective at spinning her way into the lane for a jump shot in scoring a gamehigh 20 points, 14 of which came in a first half that saw Creston lead 34-21.

The Panthers led 31-13 before Maddi Heath scored the final eight points of the half for Clarke, including

two 3-pointers.

After Creston stretched the lead to 38-21 to start the second half, freshman Megan Linskens dropped in eight straight points for Linskens Clarke, hitting a 3-pointer in transition to draw the Lady Indians to within 42-29 at the end of the third quarter.

Linskens finished with a team-high 10 points, while Heath added eight and Balcaen scored six. Vanessa Bakley chipped in five points, while Deseree Stubbe scored four. Cady Crawford f i n i s h e d Heath

with two points, while Redman and Ashlynn Oehlert each scored one point.

Clarke was unable to maintain its momentum into the fourth quarter, as Creston started on an 8-0 run to take a commanding 29-21 lead.

The loss dropped Clarke to 2-12 for the season, while Creston improved to 7-5.

The Lady Indians also dropped a 52-41 game to Knoxville on Friday.

Bakley scored a teamhigh 11 points to go with six rebounds and three steals in the game, while Redman added Bakley 10 points with five rebounds. Balcaen netted OST photo by SCOTT VICKER eight points with six boards.

hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.

The Cardinal lead grew to as much as 14 points at 35-21, before Interstate 35 closed to within 37-30 by the end of the third quarter.

Jaylan White scored five points in a stretch that saw the Roadrunners get to within 43-41 with less than three minutes to go in the game, before Central Decatur closed the game out at the free throw line with a 13-5 run.

Pedersen scored a gamehigh 17 points, while Guill added 14 and Nick Durrell scored 12 points. Carter Boothe added seven points and Nathan Guill scored six.

Durrell grabbed 12 rebounds and Pedersen pulled down 10 boards.

“Huge shoutout to our student council representative Kathy Akers and Sue Carroll, who set up all this with the silent auction,” Central Decatur head coach Zach Clark said. “We talk with the kids, it’s more than just a game and this is an example of that tonight. I think it’s awesome everybody got to be a part of this tonight.”

Cards blitz I-35 to force tie atop POI

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

LEON — Central Decatur forged a tie atop the Pride of Iowa Conference girls basketball standings here Saturday with a 58-37 win over Interstate 35.

The loss was seventh-ranked Interstate 35’s first of the POI season, as ninth-ranked Central Decatur avenged a previous loss to the Roadrunners.

The game left Interstate 35, Central Decatur and Bedford all with one loss apiece in the conference, with Interstate 35 and Bedford set to play tonight. Central Decatur and Bedford play next Friday.

“We didn’t feel like we played the best up there and to their credit, they kind of took it to us in the second half,” Central Decatur head coach Curtis Boothe said.

“We had some adjustments we needed to make and our girls did a great job of preparing for the big game.”

Slye Richardson opened the game with a 3-pointer for the Roadrunners, but Central Decatur ended the first quarter on a 9-0 run, with Raegan Boothe scoring seven of those points.

Richardson picked up her third foul of the game with 6:11 left to go in the first half and then I-35’s all-state post player Gracey Griglione picked up her third foul with 1:43 left in the half.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been down here and we haven’t been in foul trouble,” Interstate 35 head coach Ja-

mie Smith said. “You can’t be in foul trouble early against good teams and expect good things to happen.”

Central Decatur capitalized on having Interstate 35’s two leading scorers on the bench, taking a 29-12 lead into halftime.

The Cardinals ended the half with three straight 3-pointers — one by Jentri Hullinger and one each by freshmen Chloe Yoder and Alli Masters.

After I-35 cut the lead to 11 to start the second half, Central Decatur responded with a 9-0 run to go up 20 points (38-18).

Boothe hit two 3-pointers in the quarter on her way to a game-high 23 points to go with seven rebounds. Masters added 17 points with a

game-high 11 boards.

“We’re really focused on we don’t care who scores as long as somebody does, just making sure we pass the ball and get the open shot,” Boothe said. “Raegan stepped up and Alli might have been a littler nervous at first, but she came on strong.”

Lily Simon scored eight points with four steals and three assists. She also spent much of the first half guarding the 6-1 Griglione, holding her to one point at halftime.

Griglione finished with nine points and nine rebounds, while Richardson scored a team-high 13 points. Haley Schaffer added six points. Libby Kennedy grabbed five rebounds and Riley Morris had four boards.

It was her intense concentration on the menu that caught my attention. I’d never seen a small child look so intently at the choices. She looked, and looked some more. She turned the menu over. She turned it upside down. Then she sighed – you know, that exasperated, “had enough of this” kind of sigh.

“What is it, Molly?” her dad asked. “Have you decided what you’re having?” His questions were greeted with another sigh and silence.

“Honey, look here. They have hamburgers, chicken fingers, grilled cheese, and look, nachos!”

Molly closed the menu. “Don’t they have any REAL food here, Dad?” “Like I said, honey, they have real hamburgers, real chicken fingers, real grilled cheese sandwiches and REAL nachos! Which will it be?”

“Da-a-ad! I’m looking for that ‘real food’ Pastor Pat told us about this morning. Remember? She said it’s the best food ever, ‘cause it’s forever food! Don’t you remember?

It was on the Jesus table. It’s GOT to be here somewhere.”

She opened the menu again, searching with her finger.

Dad smiled, you got it, that “oh my, what do I say to that” kind of smile. “Well, honey, they only have that kind of food at church. Here we eat regular food.”

“Oh no, Dad. Jesus isn’t just at church. He’s everywhere, even here in this restaurant. So where’s the REAL food, the Jesus food?”

Dad reached across the table and closed Molly’s menu.

Looking her straight in the eye, love shining in his face, he told her, “Sweetheart, it’s inside you. When we share that ‘real food’, the ‘Jesus meal’ at His table, it sticks with us all week. You’re right, it’s the most real food there is, and it

He added, “From West Coast to East Coast, the decline has hit virtually everyone, and amazingly, we saw a gas price war yesterday in Houghton Lake, Michigan, where for a brief period of time GasBuddy confirmed stations selling at just 47 cents a gallon — prices unheard of in this century.

While the 99-cent per gallon barrier was breached

there due to competition willing to lose money, the downward trend taking place across the country will continue, with the national average likely to fall into the $1.70’s soon as motorists continue to enjoy falling fuel prices.”

lasts forever. We go back each week to church and share it with Jesus and it just gets better and better, and we get stronger and stronger.”

He paused, amazed that she was still gazing back at him, not missing one word.

Then, all of a sudden, a big bright smile just blossomed on her face.

“I get it! We just get more and more filled up with Jesus, and we grow stronger and stronger inside, and that makes God REAL happy!”

“OK, Dad. I’ll have a cheese sandwich. We’re going to church next week, right? Pastor Pat said she misses me when I’m not there, and I think Jesus does, too.

Right, Dad?” Dad smiled. “Right, honey. You are so right.”

Sometimes we get so fed-up in the world, stuffed full with the food of just living day to day, that we forget about the eternal food Jesus offers. We eat at table after table. We fill our time with this and that, that and this.

Over and over again. Sooner or later, we realize something’s missing. Something REAL. Something beyond all that everyday stuff.

Our menu is full, but there’s nothing on there we really need, nothing there that will truly give us the nourishment, the energy and power we need to truly live life to the fullest potential God intends us to. God created us for joyful, grace-filled living in the light and way of His son Jesus, who offered His entire self as REAL food.

His body. His blood. For us. REAL food for REAL people.

So how about it?

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Loebsack, Costello reestablish bipartisan Fuller party planned Congressional 21st Century Skills Caucus Washington, D.C. – Recently, Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-IA, and Congressman Ryan Costello, R-PA, announced the reestablishment of the bipartisan Congressional 21st Century Skills Caucus (21CS Caucus).

Recognizing the need to better prepare more Americans for learning and work, the 21CS Caucus intends to serve as a bipartisan forum for advancing the discussion on how to effectively promote 21st century skills in the nation’s educational system and better prepare students with the right knowledge and skills to compete in a global economy.

The caucus will look to build collaborative partnerships among education, business, community and government leaders to achieve this goal. To date, 20 states have formed a coalition with more than

30 leading companies and education organizations to find ways to strengthen 21st century skills in K-12 classrooms.

“We must prepare our students today for the jobs of the future, and I am pleased to renew the bipartisan commitment to this goal with Congressman Costello,” said Loebsack said. “As implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act begins, I look forward to working with my colleagues to foster innovation in the classroom that will provide our students with the skills they need to succeed when they enter the workforce.”

“Reestablishing the 21CS Caucus will provide a forum to discuss the best methods to effectively promote 21st century skills in our local schools,” said Costello said.

“By doing so, we will ensure our students are receiving the best education possi-

ble to prepare them for success in the 21st century workforce. I look forward to collaborating with Congressman Loebsack and my colleagues to create an educational environment that encourages the skills and innovation needed for our students to be college and career ready.”

“We are grateful for Congressman Costello and Congressman Loebsack’s leadership of the caucus,” said Dr. Helen Soule, Partnership for 21st Century Learning executive director. “We have an historic opportunity to make 21st century learning possible for students in every community thanks to the Every Student Succeeds Act and the caucus’s work supporting learning for the future of our workforce and democracy. We look forward to working with all members of Congress as part of this important Caucus.”

The 21CS Caucus was formed by Congressman Thomas Petri, R-WI, and Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-IA, during the 112th Congress. The caucus works in tandem with the Partnership for 21st Century Learning to provide a platform for leaders, advocates, practitioners and organizations to brief members of Congress about the importance of 21st century skills for the nation’s students.

For more information on the caucus and the initiative, visit P21.org

A party is planned in honor of Adrian T. Fuller on the occasion of his 96th birthday.

The event is planned 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 31 at Homestead Assisted Living in Osceola.

Cards may be sent to 334 N. West View Drive, Osceola, IA 50213.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Quality issues drive Osceola Water Works to increase 2016 water rates by 10 percent In a public hearing held Jan. 7, Osceola Water Works Board voted on a proposed water service rate increase for the customers of Osceola Water Works.

The proposed 10 percent increase was approved and will go into effect on Feb. 1.

Osceola’s water taste and odor, as well as its safety, have long been the focus of the water board. While the water works team has worked to address issues with a variety of treatment approaches, they have proved to be largely unsuccessful with noticeable water taste and odor fluctuations throughout the year.

After consultation with professional engineer Mark Duben, a strategy for more aggressive filtering of West

Lake’s water proved to be the best and safest option available.

The team at Osceola Water Works will work to mitigate the taste and odor issues by increasing the frequency in which the carbon filters at the treatment plant are changed, essentially doubling the use of the filters and adding to expenses through the effort.

“We need to provide our customers with a safe, quality product and we feel changing out the carbon in the 8 filters is the best way to accomplish that,” said Brandon Patterson, water works superintendent This accelerated carbon filtering process will increase the removal of a host of organic materials, as well

as the byproducts used to fight many of the taste and odor issues customers experience. Many other solutions were discussed, but they were neither as cost-effective or impactful as the increased carbon filter option.

After lengthy discussion among the board members, weighing all possible processes and the costs associated with them, as well as taking into account stringent federal and state regulations, Osceola Water Works Board has found it necessary to raise water service rates by 10 percent for 2016. The water rate increase will be seen on city of Osceola utility bills starting Feb. 1.

The water rate result to

bills is simple to compute – e.g. If your current water service charge is $11.81, the 10 percent increase will raise that charge to $12.99 (11.81 + 10 percent equals $12.99 – a $1.18 difference).

This increase will affect only the water works services based on water usage, and does not affect sewer or garbage rates managed by the city.

For more information, contact Brandon Patterson, Osceola Water Works, 208 W. Jefferson St., Osceola, IA 50213, phone: 641-342-1435, web: www.

Branstad, Reynolds announce 2016 firsttime Home Buyer Tax Credit Program DES MOINES – Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds recently announced that eligible Iowans can now buy a home and reduce their federal income tax liability by up to $2,000 a year for the life of their mortgage through the Take Credit mortgage credit certificate program administered by the Iowa Finance Authority.

Approximately 780 home buyers are expected to benefit from the program in 2016, which is now available for new purchases through a network of lenders throughout the state.

“The Take Credit program will not only make home ownership more affordable for first-time Iowa home buyers, but it will also provide an economic boost to Iowa communities,” Branstad said. “This program has the potential to keep $1.5 million in hardearned income in Iowa, income that would otherwise be spent on federal taxes.”

The program provides eligible home buyers with a tax credit against their federal income tax liabil-

ity every year for the life of their mortgage. Eligible homeowners may take 50 percent of their annual interest paid on the mortgage loan, up to a maximum of $2,000 per year, for up to 30 years. The remaining mortgage interest may be taken as a deduction from taxable income if the home buyer itemizes.

“Home ownership plays a critical role in both the quality of life for Iowans and our economy,” Reynolds said. “This program is a win-win for Iowa home buyers and the state of Iowa. I encourage all Iowans planning to purchase a home in the near future to look into this opportunity as well as the Iowa Finance Authority’s mortgage and down payment assistance programs.”

Eligibility for the Take Credit Program requires home buyers to meet household income and purchase price limitations and meet the definition of a first-time home buyer.

The federal income limits vary by county and household size, currently ranging

from $67,500 to $115,220 per year.

A purchase price limit of $258,000 applies statewide with the exception of federally Targeted Areas where the limit is $316,000. A first-time home buyer is defined as someone who has not owned their primary residence in the past three years but also includes home buyers purchasing in a federally Targeted Area and qualified veterans who have not used tax exempt mortgage financing previously.

“Interested home buyers can apply for a mortgage credit certificate through a Take Credit Participating Lender as part of their financing process. Home buyers will need to have approval of the mortgage credit certificate before they close on a home so they should ask their lender about this opportunity early in the application process,” said Iowa Finance Authority Executive Director Dave Jamison.

After an eligible, pre-approved homeowner has closed a mortgage loan with

an IFA Take Credit Participating Lender, IFA will issue the homeowner a mortgage credit certificate. The homeowner in turn may apply the credit against their federal income tax liability on an annual basis for the life of their mortgage. The credit may be claimed on IRS Form 8396.

The mortgage credit certificate was authorized by Congress in the 1984 Tax Reform Act and capacity for the program is derived from an annual allocation of tax-exempt bond volume cap from the U.S. Treasury Department.

The 2016 Take Credit Program has an allocation of private activity bond volume cap sufficient to issue mortgage credit certificates for mortgages totaling approximately $80 million. The certificates are available on a first-come first-serve basis and the program will be closed for further reservations once available funding has been exhausted. More information is available at IowaFinanceAuthority.gov/TakeCredit.

New book: This is the front cover for local author Larry

W. Mongar’s new book, “As the Dust Settles.” It is the second book in Mongar’s “Gravel Dust” series. The cover photo is

by Kayci Mongar. The back cover states, “As a person goes down the road of life they create a lot of ‘Gravel Dust.’ As they near the end of that road, they look back at what they have done, where they have been and think about the ‘what ifs.’

All of these thoughts go through a person’s head ‘As the Dust Settles.’” Mongar’s new book is currently available on Amazon and will soon be available electronically.
