Four Osceola residents charged in double homicide investigation

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Four Osceola residents have been charged in connection with a double homicide that occurred in the Osceola area.

On Saturday, Jan. 24, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Osceola Police Department received a report of two persons who had gone missing during the evening hours on Friday, Jan. 23.

After further investigation, the two missing persons were located in a vehicle at 1305 255th Ave., Osceola, in rural northern Clarke County, deceased. It appears both victims died of gunshot wounds.

The following people have been charged in this case: • Richard Ryan Lamb Carson, 38, Osceola — two counts of first-degree murder.

• Lynn Ranean Sutton, 47, Osceola — one count of accessory after the fact.

• Tracy Kay Johnson, 43, Osceola — one count of accessory after the fact.

• Christopher Martin Elben, 42, Osceola — one count of accessory after the fact.

Accessory after the fact is a result of the suspects helping the perpetrator after the crime had occurred.

The names of the deceased are being withheld pending notifications of the family.

An autopsy is being planned for Tuesday, Jan. 27, at the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny.

The victims were identified as Erick Reyna, 22, and Noe Flores Rascon, 27, both of Osceola.

The investigation is ongoing, however, it appears this is an isolated incident and the public is not in danger.

Press conference A press conference was held 11 a.m Monday, Jan. 26, at Clarke County Law Enforcement Center. It was led by Osceola Police Chief Marty Duffus, Clarke County Sheriff Bill Kerns and Michael Motsinger, a special agent in charge of Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation.

Osceola Police Department is being assisted by Clarke County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

Duffus said Carson and the victims are acquaintances. The victims were also acquaintances with each other.

Two of the suspects charged are boyfriend and girlfriend and the others were acquaintances. Duffus said Carson and Johnson are the suspects who are in a relationship with each other.

“They’re all known to us,” Duffus said about the suspects’ past criminal history.

Duffus said the investigation is still working on a motive for the homicide.

The victims were located Sunday night. Duffus said it’s unknown at this time if drugs were involved.

Jake Manternach, left, also provided assistance with the award.

To say that Jan Short was surprised at winning the 2014 Community Service award might be an understatement.

“All evening I’ve been waiting for my daughter to receive an award because that’s what got me here,” Short joked.

The crowd erupted with laughter as Short received her award and spoke from the podium during Osceola Chamber Main Street and Clarke County Development Corporation’s annual dinner Monday, Jan. 19, at Lakeside Casino.

“I was coming anyway,” Short added. “So, thank you so much. This is just wonderful. I appreciate all of you who have helped me over the years in lots of ways. Thank you.”

Admiration Short said she had been coming to the annual dinner for many years and always admired the previous recipients of the award.

When she would hear what efforts the previous winners had undertaken for the communities, she would think to herself — that’s what makes them good winners.

“They do things for their community without wanting recognition or boasting about what they have done in the past,” Short said. “I’m very grateful to be a part of this community and I am glad that we had the opportunity to raise our children

Osceola blood drive planned LifeServe Blood Center needs regular blood donors, as well as new first time blood donors to roll up their sleeve this winter to help save lives.

Osceola Community Blood Drive is planned 1 to 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, at Lifepoint Assembly of God, 801 N. Fillmore St. Typically during the winter months, blood donations tend to decrease simply because of the cold and flu season and treacherous road conditions which can inhibit donors from reaching their donation destina-

tion. However, the need for blood remains constant and can often spike in the winter because of automobile accidents and increased surgeries.

Members of the community can help ensure lifesaving blood is available for local hospital patients by giving blood at an upcoming blood drive. It takes less than one hour to save a life. Schedule your appointment now.

Sign up to save a life today. Schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800-287-4903.

CCH telemedicine keeps patients on schedule

CLARKE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Clarke County Hospital telemedicine technology kept patients’ appointments on schedule when unexpected weather would have otherwise caused cancellations.

JoAnn Wilson of Osceola was one patient who used telemedicine when her specialist was unable to travel to Clarke County Hospital from Des Moines because of icy road conditions.

“When I saw the weather, I thought I was going to get a call about changing my appointment,” Wilson said.

“The telemedicine clinic was as good as if my doctor was sitting here. Like a normal appointment, she looked at me and answered all the questions I had. I definitely see the benefits of having it.”

Telemedicine technology enables medical practitioners to perform a routine physical, though they are not present in the patient room.

Erin Houghton, RN and clinical telemedicine coordinator, explained the diagnostic tools that are used during a telemedicine clinic.

“We use several quality diagnostic tools that are very familiar to patients,” Houghton said. “The Bluetooth stethoscope, for example, allows a specialist located in Des Moines to hear a patient’s heart and lungs from Clarke County Hospital. We also use an exam camera that has incredible zoom, 40x zoom to be exact, and the physicians are able to

“A friend of theirs reported them missing, and then one of their sisters followed up with that report Saturday,” Duffus said.

DCI report Motsinger said the suspects were taken into custody without incident or resistance. He said he wouldn’t give many details about the murder weapon, other than to say it has been recovered.

The DCI has been investigating many locations in connection with the double homicide.

“So, being around town, different parts of the area, it’s just part of the investigation and gathering the evidence that we need to prosecute the people responsible,” Motsinger said.

He said there was a residence at the location of the main crime scene on

255th Avenue, but it isn’t occupied at this time.

Motsinger said law enforcement has interviewed many people about the crime, which has led them to charging the suspects involved in the case.

“Any time you have a tragedy like this, I mean, you have a double homicide, luckily, for Iowa, that’s not a common occurrence,” he said. “So, we do, obviously, take things seriously. We try to follow up every lead, bring everyone responsible to justice that are responsible for taking someone’s life. Obviously, living here in Iowa, it’s a great state, and luckily, we don’t have double homicides that occur very often. So, is it strange?

Yes, but are we able to handle it and work through all the leads and follow through with the investigation, that’s what law enforcement does.”

Jan Short nomination letter These are excerpts from the letter nominating Jan Short for the 2014 Community Service award presented during Osceola Chamber Main Street and Clarke Community Development Corporation’s annual dinner Monday, Jan. 19, at Lakeside Casino.

“Jan has been a member of the Osceola Community since 1965.

During the years that her children were growing up she assisted with 4-H groups, coaching softball teams and being a booster for school sports and band — and this continues for her grandchildren also.

Clarke Area Arts Council has been one of her favorite projects, with her holding various offices, including president for almost seven years and others more than once.

Another organization that has benefited from her enthusiasm and dedication is the American Cancer Society.

For several years she has participated in the sales of the daffodils to support the research for the disease that had slowed her down — just a bit — several years ago. She tirelessly visits businesses, family and friends to sell daffodils to benefit the fundraising efforts of the society and then goes back and delivers them — always with a smile that will light up anyone’s dreary days.

She also is an active member of the Breast Cancer Support Group that is invaluable to many women in the area.

Osceola Methodist Church is a benefactor of the commitment she makes to the associations or institutions that are near and dear to her heart.

She has served as a Sunday school teacher, the secretary of the United Methodist Women and serves on the

church council. She is also a longtime member of the choir and adds her beautiful voice to the Community Cantata each year to the enjoyment of the community.

Short has served on the Clarke County Extension Council for the past two years, and is scheduled to serve a four year term. The council works for the benefit of the youth in Clarke County that are involved in 4-H or other programs offered by the extension service from Iowa State University.

She has been a member of TTT (TRI-T) EL since 2006. TTT is a philanthropic organization that sends fourth grade girls from the community who may not have the opportunity to attend a camp, to TTT (TRI-T) camp each summer.

Beginning in 2010, Short was elected to the Clarke County Public Hospital Board and currently serves on the quality executive committee as a board member.

She also serves as treasurer of the Questers Club in Osceola.

Short’s love of children is shown with her volunteerism at the elementary school, assisting in filling the backpacks for the Backpack Program each week. She also spends endless hours wrapping gifts for the local Toys for Christmas program each year during the holiday season.

Short was a dedicated, loyal employee at Clarke County State Bank for 28 years, before her retirement in 2005.

This lady is an unpretentious, genuine and sincere friend to many. She is generous with her time and talents for the betterment of our community, her church, and as you have read, many organizations in Osceola.”

Appropriations committee to place focus on output, not inputs during 2015

By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

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

With the directive from the speaker to find ways for state government to do less but do its core functions better, the House Appropriations Committee begins a new approach to budgetary oversight this session.

The first steps in this new focus started with the opening of budget subcommittee meetings last week. Each of the House subcommittees began submitting a series of questions all programs and agencies are expected to answer prior to being funded in FY 2016. These questions switch the focus of the subcommittees to what these investments are achieving in terms of results.

The questions break down into three different categories: Program performance, program efficiency, and program duplication. The program performance questions focus on performance outcomes. They are: • Do you have defined outcomes or measurements for your program(s)? What are they and are these measures listed somewhere so the public can see them?

• What data is available to show Iowans that your program(s) are an effective investment of taxpayer dollars?

Where can Iowans find this data?

• Can you provide the committee with performance data for your programs over the last 5 or 10 years?

These questions are intended to provide lawmakers and taxpayers with real data on performance, and to identify those areas in government were measures are not illustrative of the work being performed or non-existent.

The second group, focused on program efficiency, is intended to find ways that programs and agencies can perform their assigned tasks in a more budget-conscious manner. These questions are: • Have you examined what other states are doing to im-

JOEL FRY

prove performance and reduce costs?

• Can you share with the committee what other states are doing?

• Which of these ideas are you considering for implementation here in Iowa?

• Are there websites or organizations we could go to obtain more information on what other states’ programs are doing to provide more efficient services?

• Do you have an email address or a comment section on your website where Iowans can suggest improvements to your program or agency?

The duplication category of questions is intended to try and illuminate those areas where multiple agencies or programs are performing the same or similar function. The questions in this category are: • Are there any other programs that are providing the same or similar services?

• Is there a reason why we need more than one program providing the same or similar service?

• Have you had any discussions with the other agencies or programs to find ways to maximize the use of the taxpayer’s dollars?

• Are there any laws or administrative rules that would limit your ability to work with the other programs or departments?

• Are there any laws or administrative rules that could be changed to make your program or agency work better?

The questions allow the subcommittees to make a thorough evaluation of each program to determine if it is achieving the goals set for it with the investment of state money. While many seem focused simply on the input of state dollars, the House is intent on shining the light on what really matters — the output of the investment of state dollars.

The second phase of the new approach began on Wednesday, as the House Appropriations Committee holding intensive sessions on the major issues driving growth in the state budget. The Department of Human Services made a presentation to the full committee concerning the Medicaid program, its growth in recent years, and what can be done to control the program.

The committee will be questioning the Board of Regents about a variety of issues related to higher education policy in the state. A number of questions will likely be asked of the board and the university presidents concerning the board’s proposal to change how state funding is allocated amongst Iowa, Iowa State and UNI. Another area of focus will be the board’s efficiency study, the proposed tuition freeze, and other issues specific to the individual schools.

The Department of Administrative Services has been invited to appear and discuss the significant growth in cost of state employee health insurance. In future weeks expected topics will include reviewing the initial results of the Skilled Worker Initiative and specific issues identified by the budget subcommittees.

I look forward to seeing you at one of the next legislative forums on Friday, Feb. 27: 8 a.m. – Wayne County Farm Bureau (Corydon) 10 a.m. – Chariton Mosaic (Chariton) Noon – Lakeside Casino (Osceola) 2 p.m. – Leon Community Center (Leon)

Middle school band students provide helping hand On Tuesday, Jan. 20, seven Clarke eighth grade band members participated in the Simpson College Orpheus Honor Band at Simpson College in Indianola.

Prior to this event, their band teacher Christie Averweg asked the participants to assist Izzy Buddenhagen the day of the festival with carrying her heavy tuba across the college campus to the different rehearsal areas.

Averweg said, “The tuba is a very large and heavy instrument, especially in comparison to the size of Izzy.

Unfortunately, her tuba case does not have wheels on it.”

Kyle Haltom, a bari sax player and honor band participant, took initiative by volunteering to construct a cart for his classmate to use.

He came up with a design and built a sturdy cart with durable wheels and a strap to hold the tuba in place.

He even carpeted the top to protect the tuba case and painted “Clarke Band” on the sides.

Haltom completed this entire project outside of the school day. Averweg offered to reimburse Haltom for the materials and labor, but he would not accept any payment for his work.

Averweg said, “I was very impressed with the quality of Kyle’s project. It is obvious

Bair, CD’s Ranney second at John J Harris Invitational

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

CORNING — Clarke sophomore Jacob Bair and Central Decatur senior Colton Ranney finished runner-up in their respective weight classes here Saturday at the John J Harris Invitational.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg won the prestigious two-day tournament for the fourth straight year with 237 points, pulling away from runner-up New Hampton in the final round. New Hampton scored 170.5 points.

Central Decatur finished 15th in the 23-team field with 39 points, led by two placewinners. Clarke finished 20th with 24 points.

Bair, Clarke’s sophomore 182-pounder, advanced to

Saturday’s finals by winning in a variety of ways.

He opened the tournament with a pin of Central Decatur’s Trae Reed in 1:38, before scoring an 11-4 decision over Winterset’s Wyatt Miller in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Bair matched up with Jackson Mikkelsen of Creston/O-M, who will be in Clarke’s sectional meet, during the semifinals. Bair secured a 3-2 victory in overtime, advancing to the finals.

“He had a tough kid in the semis from Creston,” Clarke head coach Brian Reece said. “We knew he was a pretty physical kid. He’s in our sectional, so it was good to get an idea where we stand versus him. Those guys are pretty even, from what I can tell.”

In the 182-pound finals,

Clarinda’s Trey Stickler came out on top from a scramble situation, throwing Bair to his back for a fivepoint move in the first period. Stickler went on to win a 13-3 major decision.

“We just got out of position in the first period and gave up five,” Reece said.

“From that point forward, we were fighting from behind the whole time. Stickler is very hard to score on.

He’s even harder to score on multiple times, so when you get down by five, it’s going to cost you. If we come out of that scramble with a takedown, it’s a different match.”

Reece said making finals of the prestigous John J Harris Invitational is a big accomplishment for the sophomore grappler.

“With Nathan, it’s quite an accomplishment to make

finals, period. To make it as a sophomore is impressive and to make it as a sophomore at 182 is even more impressive,” he said. “So hopefully it’s something we can build on. We recognize it as a special accomplishment, so hopefully our fans do, too.”

Ranney scored a pair of pins in his first two matches, decking Winterset’s Brandon Ryerson in 5:19 before pinning Riverside’s Brock Bentley in 1:19.

In the semifinals, Ranney won a 15-5 major decision over Clarinda’s Cain Johanns.

The 10th-ranked senior from Central Decatur ran into a buzzsaw in the finals, where he lost a 13-4 major decision to Creston/O-M’s top-ranked and undefeated sophomore Chase Shiltz.

“That’s the first time we’ve wrestled Chase, so we kind of wanted to see where we were at, because sectionals and districts coming up, we’ve got Creston in both of them,” Central Decatur head coach Dan Christensen said.

“So it was a good testing ground for Colton. He knows OST photo by SCOTT VICKER what he has to work on the Central Decatur freshman Wyatt Dale works for positioning during his fifth-place match next couple of weeks.” with Winterset’s Logan Allen Saturday at the John J Harris Invitational. Dale won by Central Decatur freshforfeit after Allen ran out of blood time.

man Wyatt Dale lost his first match on Friday, but went 3-1 in the consolation bracket to finish fifth at 106 pounds. Dale won a 7-4 decision over Creston/O-M’s Kelby Luther and a 12-0 major decision over Shenandoah’s Skylor Rice.

He won by forfeit in the fifth-place match over Winterset’s Logan Allen, when Allen ran out of blood time.

“Wyatt Dale wrestled really well,” Christensen said.

“He wrestled above his seed at 106.”

Reece said the tournament was a good learning experience for the rest of his team.

“We came out and wrestled well,” he said. “We had to wrestle some tough kids, with our records, we had some tough draws. We had Gable (Reece) at 160. He got a win and had to wrestle Shiltz, which is tough for anybody. But he competed.

“Parker Hardy at 113, he’s had some varsity experience this year, mostly as a backup.

He’s going to be our varsity 113-pounder now moving forward. So it was good for him to kind of see what the difference in level of competition is.”

GREENFIELD — A 19-11 third-quarter pushed Central Decatur past Nodaway Valley 60-48 here Friday, setting up a massive contest Friday between the Cardinals and Bedford.

The win improved Central Decatur to 10-1 in conference play, just a half game behind Bedford (111) in the conference standings. Those two teams meet Friday night in Leon, in a game that could determine the conference championship.

Nodaway Valley dropped to 8-3 in the conference, moving into a three-way tie with Interstate 35 and Martensdale-St. Marys for third place.

Trailing 31-29 at halftime, Nodaway Valley forged a 33-33 tie early in the third quarter before Central Decatur jumped ahead 41-33 on a Lydia Martin rebound and putback.

Paige McElfish’s rebound, putback and free throw cut the lead to 41-38, but Central Decatur ended the quarter on a 9-2 run, highlighted by a Lily Simon 3-pointer at the buzzer, to build a 50-40 lead.

Central Decatur senior Lydia Martin (25) battles with Nodaway Valley’s Josie Clarke (54) for a rebound during Central Decatur’s 60-48 win Friday.

“I really just feel like they wanted it worse than we did,” Nodaway Valley head coach Tom Thompson said.

“Every loose ball went their way tonight. They made that happen and we just kind of got caught standing flat footed. A little disappointed with our effort that second half.”

Nodaway Valley cut the led to six in the fourth quarter, but the Cardinals closed the game on a 10-4 run for the 60-48 victory.

The Wolverines started the game on a 12-2 run, as Jessica Nelson and Mercedes Harter each knocked down a 3-pointer, but the Cardinals fought back to tie the game at 18-18 with 5:27 left in the first half.

“Nodaway Valley came out of the gates red hot, we weren’t playing very good defense and they were killing us on the offensive boards,” Central Decatur head coach Curtis Boothe said. “I thought ‘here we go,’ so we made some tweaks. Weathered the storm the first quarter and got back into it second quarter.”

Josie Clarke led Nodaway Valley with 20 points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots. McElfish added 11 points with nine boards.

Josie Carter scored nine points with four assists.

Hallie Linhart scored 19 points with four assists to lead Central Decatur. Martin recorded a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Simon had 10 points with four assists and four steals.

GREENFIELD — Central Decatur did something here Friday it hadn’t done since 2000, and in the process, positioned itself for its first Pride of Iowa Conference title in boys basketball since 1991-92.

The Cardinals held off a late rally by Nodaway Valley to defeat the Wolverines 5754, improving to 11-0 in conference play.

Head coach Zach Clark said he believes it’s the first Central Decatur victory over Nodaway Valley since his senior season in 2000.

The win, coupled with Interstate 35’s victory over Bedford Friday, gave the Cardinals a three-game lead over all other teams in the conference.

“This is just a huge win,” Clark said. “It clinches us a first round bye in districts. It really solidifies our position in conference. We have to continue to play well, but it keeps us at the top. What a program he’s (Darrell Burmeister) run over the last 20 years. The size of the win depends on the size of the team you beat, and we beat a really good team and really good program.”

Trailing 53-45 with less than 3:30 remaining in the game, Nodaway Valley staged a furious comeback, having a shot to tie the game in the final seconds.

Nathan Andrews and Nate Venteicher knocked down 3-pointers and Tanner Armstrong scored a basket after a David Schweitzer offensive rebound. Andrews made one of two free throws to cut Central Decatur’s lead to 5754.

12 seconds remaining in the game, the Wolverines had an opportunity to tie the game.

Nodaway Valley had already sank 10 3-pointers in the game to that point.

Jackson Lamb, who finished with 17 points, had to get rid of the ball and Schweitzer put up the last shot, which hit front iron. Central Decatur pulled down the rebound and ran out the final seconds of the clock for the win.

“Sometimes we foul there, but with so much time on the clock, we didn’t want to foul,” Clark said. “Once we got it out of Lamb’s hands, I got a lot more comfortable.

We got a good contest on the shot and got the defensive rebound. We went man on that last possession, because we didn’t want to lose anyone.”

Central Decatur built an 11-point lead at 40-29 midway through the third quarter, but Dallas Kreager came in off the bench and sank a

3-pointer for the Wolverines, sparking a run that saw Nodaway Valley get back to within 46-45 on a Jackson Lamb layup and free throw.

“A couple of times we lost guys in the corner,” Clark said. “We had it at 11 and a kid who’s shot one three all year comes in and makes one. We had a chance to blow it open, but they made some big shots and came back.”

Peyton Pedersen led Central Decatur with 21 points.

Nick Durell scored 12 and Aaron Linhart and Boothe each finished with nine points.

Noah Bishop and Kyle Palmer shared the duties of chasing Lamb around the court. The Nodaway Valley junior is one of the state’s top scorers, averaging 24.5 points per game.

Then Richardson, who scored a game-high 18 points, sank a 3-pointer to start the fourth and Riley Morris dumped a pass over the top to Griglione on a high low play for a basket.

Brenna Baker answered with a shot from the corner to cut the Roadrunners’ lead to 37-35, but a Griglione offensive rebound and jumper made it 39-35.

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.”

Reliable evidence

By The Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

Jury duty. Those two words stir a variety of reactions.

Most value a justice system which includes decisions made by a group of one’s peers. They just aren’t thrilled to be called to serve as one of those peers sitting in judgment.

Some chafe at the time spent sitting, often all day, waiting to see if their juror services will be needed. Others relish a day of reading a favorite book, catching up with letter writing or meeting new people.

I observed all these possibilities as I responded to a call to jury duty. I met interesting people as I relaxed in the central potential juror area with a mystery novel, which I hadn’t had time to finish reading in the last month.

Many conversations I overheard centered on what people could be doing if it didn’t take so much time to see if they were needed for jury duty.

As time went by and groups of potential jurors were called, the population of the waiting area shrank.

As the latest group to be called was led out of the central area, a man sitting next to me turned to me, “I wonder if we’re going to get called at all. You know, it’s not the time I mind. It’s just, I don’t know what I’d do if I ever actually got put on a jury.”

Thinking he was referring perhaps to time spent away from work and/or family, I began to respond with something like, “Yeah, it can take days,” but stopped when he shook his head “no.”

“No, it’s not the time I’d mind. Not at all. It’s just, well, It’s so hard to know what’s really true. I mean, they say different things. How do you decide for sure who’s telling the absolute truth, and which evidence is really reliable?

Somebody’s life is on the line, and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to tell which evidence was completely reliable.”

Listen to this conversation recorded in John 8:13-20: The Pharisees objected, “You are the only one speaking for yourself, and what you say isn’t true!”

Jesus replied, “Even if I do speak for myself, what I say is

true! I know where I came from and where I am going.

But you don’t know where I am from or where I am going.

You judge in the same way that everyone else does, but I don’t judge anyone. If I did judge, I would judge fairly, because I would not be doing it alone. The Father who sent me is here with me. Your law requires two witnesses to prove that something is true. I am one of my witnesses, and the Father who sent me is the other one.”

“Where is your Father?” they asked.

“You don’t know me or my Father!” Jesus answered. “If you knew me, you would know my Father.”

Jesus said this while he was still teaching in the place where the temple treasures were stored. But no one arrested him, because his time had not yet come.

It wasn’t just the Pharisees who yearned for absolutely, 100 percent reliable evidence that Jesus was who He said he was. It wasn’t only the disciples who kept asking Jesus to demonstrate undeniably, absolutely reliable evidence of His Messiahship.

How often do we yearn for “reliable evidence” that Christ is present with us in the midst of our current struggles and triumphs,and everything in between? Prayers such as “God, please be with us,” or “Lord, come into this place,” demonstrate our yearning for reliable evidence of God’s presence.

God is present. In every situation and circumstance, in the midst of every company we keep. How would our life’s journey of faith and discipleship to Christ be made stronger and richer if we acknowledged the presence of the eternally reliable, loving and grace-filled God. Perhaps we could begin our prayers in ways such as, “Lord, may we notice You,” or “Lord, we know You are here; open our eyes to experience You.”
