A mother’s courage Schacherer shares son’s story of living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

This is the plaque Osceola Sentinel-Tribune received during Iowa Newspaper Association Convention for first place in “Best Ad Featuring Grocery/Food/Entertainment” in the weekly class III category. The ad was for Osceola Hy-Vee.

Sentinel-Tribune wins two awards in INA contest Osceola Sentinel-Tribune won two awards in the 2016 Iowa Newspaper Association (INA) Better Newspaper Contests, and employees came home with some prestigious hardware to show for it.

During an awards banquet held Friday, Feb. 5, it was announced Osceola Sentinel-Tribune received first place for “Best Ad Featuring Grocery/Food/Entertainment” for the weekly class III category. The first-place ad was a grocery one for Osceola Hy-Vee. Weekly class III newspapers have a circulation of 1,851 and above.

The other accolade the paper received was second place in weekly class III for “Best Breaking News Story” for Kyle Wilson and Amy Hansen’s coverage of the Osceola Farm and Home fire

in October 2014.

“I was so delighted for the Osceola staff to receive these two awards,” said Hansen, news editor for Osceola. “We had been notified earlier that we had received a placement in the award categories, but we didn’t know what exactly it would be until the end of the night. It was an exciting time for both advertising and editorial departments.”

Convention The 2016 INA Convention and Trade Show was held Wednesday, Feb. 3 through Friday, Feb. 5 at the downtown Marriott Hotel in Des Moines.

It was a chance for newspaper staff from across the state of Iowa to gather, hear guest speakers, attend sessions, compare different Please see AWARDS, Page 4

There is absolutely nothing this mother won’t do for her child. Nothing.

That statement more than applies to Amber Schacherer of Osceola and her 7-year-old son Owen.

In kindergarten, Owen was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. That is the last thing a mother wants to hear about her young child.

“Three minutes in the doctor’s office and it crushes your whole world,” Amber said, her voice choking up.

What is it?

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a muscle-wasting disease that affects about one in 3,500 boys.

There is no cure or treatment for Duchenne. It is a terminal illness that affects the muscles, and most boys stop walking between the ages of 8-10 and are non-ambulatory.

Respiratory and heart issues are soon affected, too, because they are muscles.

Most boys will need respirators, and the life expectancy only goes to the mid-20s.

If you meet Owen, you would never be able to tell he has had such a serious diagnosis. The first-grader seems like any other boy with an indomitable spirit who loves to play with his NERF guns and bounce off the walls with energy.

There’s a reason for that.

Medical Right now, Owen is takes deflazocort (prednisone), which is a steroid, and studies show it can keep boys walking longer.

For the past 33 weeks, Owen has traveled to Iowa City every Tuesday in a clinical trial for a drug called Etsplirsen. Owen has an IV

How you can help On Saturday, April 16, in Des Moines, “Team Owen” will be participating in the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) muscle walk. Last year, Team Owen helped to raise more than $5,000. port and gets this new drug by an IV. This medical trial will continue for a duration of 96 weeks.

Owen has also traveled to Gainesville, Florida, for an MRI and has had muscle biopsy in Iowa City. He will

make these travels again in the spring.

Owen is quite an active young boy. Right now, his energy level is up and he is falling less.

Little things that most people take for granted,

like getting up the floor or walking up the stairs, these things can be challenging for Owen. However, this new drug is allowing him to do it Please see SCHACHERER, Page 4

It’s possible: City provides financial figures for potential recreation center

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

So, you’re saying there’s a chance? “(With) the parks and recreation center, not every person is an athlete. So, we need to be thinking for quality of life for all Osceola citizens, from babies all the way to elderly people, and not only athletics,” said Mayor Thomas Kedley during an Osceola City Council meeting Tuesday, Feb. 2.

During previous council meetings, there has been talk of the possibility of Osceola having its own recreation center.

The parks and recreation board has spearheaded the project, but the city is also looking into how to proceed with it.

Finances This time around, Ty Wheeler, city administrator/ clerk, came to the table with some financial scenarios.

Wheeler said the city worked with D.A. Davidson for financial services and put together a mock debt-service

schedule. Again, it was only a preliminary sketch.

A dollar figure of a $2 million general obligation bond with a 15-year term was chosen. Then, it was figured what a city’s debt service schedule would look like at that amount.

Wheeler said the total debt service could be between $157,000 and $160,000 a year.

Wheeler said that onehalf of the hotel/motel tax, a portion of which is currently used to pay off the Osceola aquatic center, is close to be-

ing able to cover a finance such as a new recreation center.

“I think we can go forward with some comfort in knowing that revenue, which is dedicated to culture and recreation, we can’t take that and plug it into anything else. That’s the intended use by Iowa Code,” Wheeler said. “We can use those funds and come quite close to being able to support an issuance such as this.”

Wheeler also cautioned officials aren’t even close to talking about project costs yet. There is still a significant amount of planning to do.

“I think it’s good for the council to see that, in fact, this is something, at a certain level, that is attainable,” he said. “It is in the realm of possibility, within the next few years, when that pool is

paid off.”

Local concerns Councilman Doug Gay said his constituents have concerns about taking out a general obligation bond in a large amount. He said they are also concerned about the possibility of taxes being raised.

According to Wheeler, the scope of the project is still unknown, but if a recreation center project is more than $2 million, then things would have to be balanced or cut out to stay below that figure.

“You have to remember there are industries that have offered upwards of six figure contributions,” Kedley said. “I mean, that could be anywhere from $100,000 to ($999,999).”

Help for heart disease from HCI Hospice Care Services February is American Heart Month, a time to fight heart disease, which kills one in three Americans. Sadly, many of those individuals and their families could have benefitted from the wide range of services hospice care provides.

Many people do not realize hospice cares for those with all terminal illnesses — not just cancer. Even though heart disease is the No. 1 killer in both men and women, only 15 percent of hospice admissions across the nation have a primary diagnosis of heart disease.

As organizations like the American Heart Association push for more research into women and heart disease, more women are surviving heart attacks and living with heart disease. That is why HCI Hospice Care Services is joining the fight and going red in February in honor of American Heart Month.

“Many women assume their greatest health risk is cancer,” said Lauren Livingston, health strategies coordinator with American Heart Association. “They do not realize that the No. 1 killer of women is heart disease or that more women die from heart disease every year than men.”

Behind cancer, heart disease is the second leading diagnosis among hospice patients. Other leading diagnoses include debility, dementia (which includes Alzheimer’s disease) and lung disease.

It is important to note some of these illnesses may occur together. Common diseases occurring with heart disease include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dementia, diabetes, liver disease, neoplasm, stroke, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and renal failure.

Patients with any of these diseases need not wait for their doctors to call hospice; anyone can make a referral for hospice care.

Some common indicators of when hospice care could help include: increased dependence on others to help with activities of daily living; difficulty with daily activities; frequent hospitalizations in the last six months, documented weight loss and/ or decreased appetite.

If the individual is not yet a candidate for hospice care, HCI Hospice Care Services’ staff will make every attempt to refer the patient and family to other resources and will follow up with the patient and family at a later date.

“While the majority of the patients served by hospices have a primary diagnosis of cancer, we must educate our communities about the services we can provide for all terminal diagnoses like endstage heart disease,” said Tray Wade, senior vice president of patient and family care for HCI Care Services.

All adults should discuss their wishes for treatment with their physicians and should provide a copy of their advance directives for the medical file before an illness progresses or is even diagnosed, as these may be changed at any time.

If you have questions about completing advance directives, including living wills and durable power of attorney for health care forms, or if you think you or a loved one could benefit from hospice care, visit hcicareservices.org or contact your local HCI Hospice Care Services office.

About HCI Hospice Care Services HCI Hospice Care Services is an independent, notfor-profit organization committed to providing excellent hospice care to patients and compassionate support for their families.

The organization serves 44 counties from locally staffed offices caring for individuals in their homes, in assisted living facilities, in nursing care facilities or hospitals.

Around-the-clock care is also available at HCI Hospice Care Services’ residential hospice houses, the Kavanagh Houses in Des Moines, Greater Regional Hospice Home in Creston and the Hospice with Heart Hospice House in Glenwood.

HCI Hospice Care Services is a program of HCI Care Services and is also a community partner of Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa.

Iowa Department of Public Health receives more than $6 million to improve CPR Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) has received a $6.3 million grant to help save the lives of Iowans experiencing cardiac arrest both in and out of the hospital. The grant, awarded by The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, will be administered by the IDPH Bureau of Emergency and Trauma Services (BETS).

The bulk of the grant funds will be used to place LUCAS® 2 Chest Compression System devices in ambulances and hospitals across the state, and to provide training for their use. The LUCAS device provides automated chest compressions, meaning CPR can be performed longer and more consistently.

“Studies have shown that two people can only perform uninterrupted CPR for 5-10 minutes because of fatigue,” said IDPH BETS chief Rebecca Curtiss. “These automated LUCAS compression devices could be the difference-maker in saving the lives of those experiencing a heart attack.”

A limited number of automatic compression devices are currently in use in Iowa, and have shown positive results. The devices are able to maintain a higher flow of blood to the brain and heart, compared to manual compressions – this has been shown to improve the positive outcomes of CPR in cardiac arrest patients from an average of 0-5 percent to as high as 40-50 percent.

Each LUCAS® 2 Chest Compression System costs

about $10,000, making it difficult for smaller EMS agencies or hospitals to purchase.

This grant will dramatically increase the number of units available throughout the state.

The Helmsley Charitable Trust supports nonprofits and other mission-aligned organizations in the U.S. and around the world in health, place-based initiatives, and education and human services. Currently holding more than $5 billion in assets, the Trust has committed over $1.5 billion since it began active grant making in 2008.

The Trust’s Rural Healthcare Program funds innovative projects that use information technologies to connect rural patients to emergency medical care, bring the latest medical therapies to patients in remote areas, and provide stateof-the-art training for rural hospitals and EMS personnel. To date, this program has awarded more than $277 million to organizations and initiatives in the upper Midwest states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa and Montana.

David Adair Knob Noster, Mo.

David “Gabby” Alan Adair, 62, of Knob Noster, Missouri, died Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016, at Mercy H o s p i t a l D. Adair Medical Center in Des Moines after an ice fishing accident alongside his son Joseph, who also died in the accident.

Services were held 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, at Kale Funeral Home, 301 S. Main St., in Osceola with the Rev. Chuck DeVos officiating. Visitation with family present was from 5 to 7 p.m.

Friday, Feb. 5, at the funeral home. Interment was in Maple Hill Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be directed to the family for a fitting tribute to be decided at a later time. Online condolences may be left at www.kalefuneralhome.com.

David “Gabby” Alan Adair, son of Max Adair and Beulah (Critz) Adair, was born Aug. 1, 1953, in Osceola. David received his education in Clarke Community Schools graduating in 1971, and later attended Southwestern Community College.

On July 31, 1977, David married Donna Lynn Clark at Osceola. David began working at Maple Hill Cemetery in Osceola in 1982 and later became the superinten-

dent. He continued his work at Maple Hill until 1996 when he moved to Alabama with his family. Later in his life, David felt the calling to help people in a different way and returned to school in order to become a funeral director. He has served many families over his 14 years as a licensed funeral director and embalmer for Sweeney-Phillips and Holdren Funeral Home in Warrensburg, Missouri.

David also served his community as president of Lion’s Club and while living in Osceola, he was involved with Osceola Mat Club and Osceola Little League.

David is survived by his wife Donna Lynn Adair of Knob Noster, Missouri; parents Max and Beu-

nora McCoy in Des Moines.

He grew up in New Virginia where he spent much of his childhood with his grandparents, Ethel and Ashton Wickett, and brother and sisters, at their farm. He attended the I-35 school district and graduated from high school there in the class of 1969. He then attended Des Moines Area Community College and studied accounting for one year before he enlisted in the United States armed services in 1971, and served his country proudly for two years. During those two years he served in Vietnam and Fort Huachuca, Arizona.

After returning from his service with the United States Army, Fred joined the National Guard. Shortly after that he met the love of

his life, the beautiful Vickie Fry. After a brief courtship, they were married on Aug. 10, 1974. To this union of 41 years, they had three wonderful children, Aaron Ashton, Justin Lee and Ashley Louise Wickett. The family resided in Indianola for 11 years before returning to their hometown of New Virginia in 1985, where the family still resides.

Fred worked in the auto parts industry for 40 years, and retired in 2014. During his life, he enjoyed attending the United Methodist Church where he coached a championship softball team for 25 years, and attending his grandsons’ sporting events including baseball, basketball and football. He also loved traveling to visit friends and family, including his daughter and son-

ideas and compete in awards categories with other papers their same size.

The judges from this year’s awards were from New York state.

The awards are announced at the end of the convention during a banquet attended by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad.

The first place grocery ad for Osceola Hy-Vee was designed by Kayla Mensing, who works in the office for Osceola’s sister paper the Creston News Advertiser.

The judges’ comments on the ad were, “The red prices jump out. Not crowded.”

Competition No comments from the judges were provided for the breaking news edi-

torial award for Hansen and Wilson.

However, the Sheldon N’West Iowa Review took home first and third places in the same category.

Their first place story was titled, “100 MPH winds roar through.” Their third place story was titled, “Truck slams into Hull facility, killing woman.”

Hansen said this year’s contest is significant because it has been a long time since the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune has won an award during INA convention, and then to come home with two in one year is extra special.

“Both awards show the teamwork it takes to produce top-notch stories and ads,” she said. “I’m proud to show a small weekly paper such as Osceola can provide quality journalism for our customers.”

a little faster.

“If you don’t know there’s anything wrong with him, you can’t tell,” Amber said.

For boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, they are missing a protein called dystrophin. What Etsplirsen is doing is making the protein, but with shorter strands of it.

It’s not a cure, it just slows the progression.

New hope The hope is the new drug will slow the diagnosis down enough, so one day soon, there will be a cure, and many boys will have lived long enough to see it happen.

Amber said there are lots of boys in the trial who have been in it longer than Owen. They are going on their fifth year, between the ages of 15 and 16, and still walking.

Owen is right on the threshold of the age where it is assumed he won’t be able to walk because of his diagnosis.

There is hope though, because Owen can demonstrate how fast he likes to run.

“We try to make memories, focus on, you know, we have a lot of hope,” she said, choking up. “With him, he doesn’t know everything for down the road. … I mean, he knows his muscles are weak. That’s about all he knows. I guess that will be something I’ll phase down when he’s able to research what it is. We just try to stay positive.”

Sensing his mother’s distress and tears, Owen stopped playing with his toys and came and gave her a big hug.

“Thank you, honey,” Amber whispered to her son.

Knowing Owen Beyond shooting his NERF guns, Owen also likes tractors, Legos and cats. Amber called her son a “little hunter.”

“I like dinosaurs!” Owen exclaimed at his mother.

During spring break in March, Owen will go to Disney World for his Make-A-Wish trip. He’s most looking forward to the roller coasters.

“I’ve never been on a roller coaster,” Owen said.

Amber said her son also wants to see Mike and Scully from the movie Monsters, Inc. “Don’t forget Star Wars,” Owen shouted.

Staying the course Even though there’s a lot to celebrate with Owen, Amber’s mission for her son has never been more clear.

Amber and her mother are traveling to Washington, D.C., where the Etsplirsen drug is up for FDA approval.

If the new drug receives the approval, that means it is accessible to more boys. For Owen and his family, they won’t have to make the weekly trip to Iowa City because the procedure could be done at a local hospital. One day, it could even be done at home.

There’s a reason Amber has been public with her son’s story. Every time her son must fight for his health, she fights harder.

“It’s a rare disease, and I just want awareness,” Amber said. “I just really want awareness because there’s other diseases out there that need recognition and need support and funding and all of that. That’s, I guess, the reason I’ve been so open about it.”

REC CENTER: Continued from Page 1

This recreation center project has been an important issue for Osceola’s new mayor, and he said one of his main goals with it is to not raise taxes. However, all big projects do come with some sort of debt.

Parks and Rec work Councilman Dan Hooper has been in communication with parks and recreation officials. He said that board will need to take some time, visit other towns Osceola’s

size with recreation centers and examine what should go into a local recreation center.

“I think they’re pretty interested in doing this, but I think they (have) a long ways to go before they come to the council with some blueprints and some facts they can show the public,” Hooper said.

A lap swimming pool shouldn’t be put on the back burner with plans for a new recreation center, Hooper added.

“We’re just very much scratching the surface,” Wheeler said.

Public Safety Committee focuses on stopping opioid abuse, overdose The Fry Times

By Rep. Joel Fry

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

Opioid abuse is on the rise across the country.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 44 people die every day from prescription painkiller overdose. Iowa is facing an increase in opioid related overdoses and deaths.

Senate File 410 focuses on stopping an overdose once it occurs. The Public Safety Committee is taking up this bill and offering an amendment to help ensure those who may become addicted to opioids have prescription drug options that will help prevent addiction and overdose.

Senate File 410, as passed by the Senate, allows an opioid antagonist to be provided to a person who is at risk for an opioid related overdose. An opioid antagonist blocks the effects of opioids and can be administered in the case of an overdose.

The bill allows opioid antagonists to be prescribed and used on a person who is experiencing an opioid related overdose. Persons authorized to administer this drug includes first responders, health care professionals and others trained in the administration of these drugs.

Others who administer the

JOEL FRY

drug, and who believe it is necessary to prevent an opioid related overdose would not be liable for their action.

Along with allowing the administering of a drug to prevent an overdose death, SF 410 also provides legal protection for someone seeking medical assistance for someone having a drug-related overdose. Prosecutors would be limited in using evidence collected when a person calls for emergency help for drug-related overdose.

This section of the bill is designed to encourage a person witnessing or having an overdose to seek help instead of ignoring the real danger.

The House is proposing one amendment that requires insurance plans to cover abuse

deterrent formulation opioids (ADF). These drugs cannot be crushed, and will be ineffective until they reach a patients gastrointestinal track. This prevents abuse and allows patients who need an opioid to have them without the possibility of abuse.

According to the amendment, insurance plans would be required to provide ADF opioids if they are also covering non-ADF opioids. Physicians would not be required to prescribe these ADF opioids under the amendment.

In Iowa, between 2009 and 2014, there were 646 opioid-related deaths and that number is expected to climb. Forty-five states now have laws that protect medical professionals who prescribe or administer an opioid antagonist. Legislation, like SF 410, will help combat the rise of opioid related deaths and encourage those in need of assistance to seek medical help.

As always, please join me at one of my legislative forums this month: Friday, Feb. 26 8 a.m. – Corydon – Farm Bureau 10 a.m. – Chariton – Mosaic Noon – Osceola – Lakeside Casino 2 p.m. – Leon – Community Center

BACK IN TIME McCormick’s Depot Cafe

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society

In 1919, Minnie McCormick and her mother Hazel Farley began the operation of the Depot Hotel with a cafe in connection with it near the Burlington train station.

In 1923, a cafe building was specifically erected for the cafe business.

At that time, Osceola was an important passenger transfer station with the branch lines north and south connecting with the main line. This meant a thriving cafe business at the depot.

With the advent of the automobile and bus and the discontinuance of the branch lines, transient trade at the cafe dropped of very materially. The cafe continued to enjoy a good local business.

In 1950, the two women decided they did not wish to continue the arduous duties of restaurant operation and leased it to Mrs. Harold (Doris) McCormick.

In September 1953, McCormick’s Depot Lunch Room owned by owned by Minnie McCormick Dickson (who had married John Dickson) and HaContributed photo zel Farley closed after being in Pictured is McCormick’s Depot Cafe. existence since 1923.

Central Decatur advances three to districts

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

WINTERSET — Central Decatur placed three wrestlers in the top two of their respective weight classes here Saturday at the Class 2A Section 4 Tournament, advancing to this weekend’s district tournament.

Clarke had three third-place finishers, but did not advance anyone to Saturday’s district tournament in Atlantic.

Clarke had close calls at both 170 pounds and 182 pounds, as Gable Reece and Nathan Bair had closely contested semifinal matches, that had they won, likely would have been enough to send them through to districts.

“You’ve got to make your own luck,” Clarke head coach Brian Reece said.

Bair (36-9) held a slim 4-3 lead over Jackson Mikkelsen of Creston/O-M in the second of two 30-second overtime tiebreaker Bair periods in the 182-pound semifinal. The two wrestlers remained deadlocked at 3-3 after the sudden victory period.

Bair kept Mikkelsen down for the majority of that second tiebreaker period, but gave up a reversal in the closing seconds to lose a 5-4 decision to Mikkelsen.

“We wrestled Mikkelsen, he stays in good position. He doesn’t make mistakes,” Reece said. “He’s going to capitalize if you make a mistake and that’s what happened.

We made a mistake and you just can’t do that, because he’s tough to score on. Your chanc-

es are going to be limited.

“If we could have just gave up the escape there, then we would have gone to the ultimate tiebreaker. They still would have had their choice in the ultimate tiebreaker, so we would have had some work to do. But giving up the reversal, we ended up losing with about four seconds left.”

Bair won a 16-0 technical fall over Winterset’s Charles Woodcock and got a wrestleback opportunity when Mikkelsen won a 2-1 decision over Atlantic’s Zac Stork in overtime. But Stork pinned Bair in 36 seconds to earn the second district-qualifying spot.

“Bair gave himself a chance, which is what we preach in that round,” Reece said.

“You’ve got to win the thirdplace match to even have a chance. He just wasn’t able to capitalize.”

Reece, meanwhile, had another close match with Winterset’s Jalen Kleemeier in the semifinals, Reece but lost 6-3.

With top-ranked Chase Shiltz (35-1) on the other side of the bracket, Reece would not get a wrestleback opportunity.

“We just weren’t aggressive enough,” coach Reece said.

“He’s best when he’s attacking and he wasn’t attacking like he needs to be.”

Reece won a 16-8 major decision over Atlantic’s Clayton West for third place.

At 195 pounds, senior Isaac Lewis battled well against Atlantic’s Drake Roller in the semifinals, before losing a 5-2 decision.

Lewis came back and won a 3-1 decision in sudden victory over Van Meter’s Derek Golwitzer, when he scored a takedown late in the sudden victory overtime period.

“That’s a kid, we had him two years. He decided to come out last year. He’s a kid, I think, if we had had him longer, he’d have done some good things,” Reece said. “He’s always in it in the end, gives himself a chance. Even against the Roller kid from Atlantic, he gives himself a chance. He stays off his back, stays out of bad positions and often times, that keeps you in the match.”

Reece said he was impressed with how his younger wrestlers performed. One year after not winning a single match in the first round of the sectional tournament, the Indians had several wrestlers in the semifinal round and thirdplace matches.

Riley Domina (113), Brock Hamer (120) and Colby Wilken (132) all finished fourth, while Landon Spurgin (126) and Jonathan Bair (138) finished fifth and Taven Floyd (160) finished sixth.

“I think our young guys got some good experience,” Reece said. “To have some of our freshmen get an opportunity to wrestle in that semifinal round and in that third-place round and get that opportunity to see what this thing is all about.

The more you’re around it, the more experienced you are, the more relaxed you become.”

Central Decatur For Central Decatur, junior Kade Kelso dominated on his way to the individual championship at 152 pounds.

Kelso won with a 2:19-pin of Atlantic’s Devin Siedlik in the semifinals and then rolled to a 7-0 decision over Creston/O-

Clarke senior 195-pounder Isaac Lewis works on top against Atlantic’s Drake Roller during their semifinal matchup at Saturday’s Class 2A sectional meet. Lewis lost a 5-2 decision to Roller, before finishing third.

M’s Joey Huntington, who had been ranked earlier in the year.

“Kade looks like he’s in the driver’s seat for being a state qualifier,” Central Decatur head coach Brian Carson said.

“I think he got a little excited and had 12 or 15 shots, but only finished one in the first period. Kind of got over-excited a little bit, but definitely controlled the tempo the entire match.”

Sophomore Wyatt Dale finished runner-up at 106 pounds after surviving a close call in his semifinal match with Cade Vicker of Creston/O-M. Dale scored a second-period escape against Vicker, which ended up being the only scoring of the match. But Vicker nearly got a reversal as time expired in the third period.

Dale went on to lose by fall to eighth-ranked Kole Hansen of Atlantic in the finals after battling closely throughout the match to that point.

“He had some good activity, some good shots,” Carson said. “Just needed to finish and win the scramble situations. I think we’re going to be in fine shape.”

At 138 pounds, Luke Jones won by a third-period fall in the semifinals over JD Gordon of Winterset before falling to second-ranked Wyatt Thompson of Creston/O-M in the first period of the finals.

“Luke did a nice job,” Carson said. “He was in trouble in the semifinals and ended up pinning the kid from Winterset, which was the third time he’s beat him this year. We’re looking forward to wrestling as a district qualifier.”

Dale, Jones and Kelso will compete in Saturday’s district tournament in Atlantic, where

Lead pastor LifePoint Church

The Iowa Caucuses are over, winners have been announced, political advertising has all but stopped and phones ringing with calls from candidates’ camps have silenced. Whew! It’s over. For now.

Some of you reading this are Democrats and some are Republicans. Some are Independents and some haven’t decided yet.

We all have our opinions about how things should be done. We have concerns about various issues, about where our country is headed, about who’s going to be leading the charge in another year. Sometimes those opinions unite us, and, unfortunately, sometimes those opinions divide us. Does it matter? Yes. It does.

And it matters to God. Sometimes we become so narrowly focused on a pet issue or a favorite candidate that we fail to see how our actions and our words hurt other people. You say, “It’s just politics.” But it’s more than politics. It’s relationships.

And relationships matter. Here’s an incident that happened with Jesus: One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:35-39, NLT) The point I’m making is this: The most important things in life are relationships. Period. Your relationship with God and your relationship with other human beings matter more than anything else in this life. Anything. More than abortion, more than gay marriage, more than taxes, more than gun control, more than legalizing marijuana, more than immigration reform, more than college tuition, more than “the liberals” and more than “the conservatives.” Did I miss anything?

oline that will soon need to be purged,” said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst.

“While crude oil prices have held above recent lows, gasoline fundamentals continue to be remarkably weak as refiners continue to churn out winter-spec gasoline, incentivized by cheap crude oil. This has put retail gasoline prices under tremendous pressure as gasoline inventories rise to their highest January level since records started in 1990. Re-

finers will continue selling any winter spec gasoline at bargain basement prices to rid themselves of it before specifications change heading into summer. In the days ahead, expect this seasonal “clearance sale” of gasoline to continue, leading to lower prices in most areas. But,” DeHaan said, “Don’t get too relaxed — the shift in specifications will lead to an eventual lift in prices once winter gasoline is gone.”

I’m not saying that those things aren’t important, I’m saying that those things aren’t nearly as important as relationship. Let’s talk about God for a moment — have you prayed about the issues? Have you looked into the Scripture to see what God has to say about these things? I know there is more than one interpretation of Scripture, but I’m simply asking, did you even look?

And what about your relationship with other people?

Granted, you probably associate with like-minded individuals, at least for the most part. But what about people whose thinking is different than yours? Are you still loving to them? Are you kind in your words and actions?

Relationships matter. They matter more than anything else. Jesus made it really simple: Love God. Love people.

The rest is minutia. Love God. Love people.

We’re not done with politics. We know that. Candidates will ultimately be chosen and we’ll go back to advertising and phone calls and expressing opinions. So let’s determine to do so in a civilized, loving manner. Healthy debate is welcome, but let’s not let it digress into name-calling and mud-slinging. Let’s not hurt the very people God loved so much that He gave His Son, Jesus, for.

Here’s what I know: Regardless of who gets elected to sit in the white house, Jesus is still going to be on the throne and He’s the one we trust in, right? Instead of trusting a political system or living in fear, Hebrews 12:1 tells us what God wants us to do: Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2a, NIV) So yes, debate and consider political positions in order to make a wise choice. But remember, no matter what happens, God is still in charge, and it is in Him that we need to place our faith.

Memorials In Loving Memory Matthew Alan Lewis 5-18-78 2-14-98 When I turned on the radio, it played your favorite song. I smiled through tears remembering how you loved to sing along.

You loved all kinds of Strait music, George and Chris LeDoux. You had a way of doing things, that was uniquely you.

I miss so much about you. Your smile, your loving heart. I only know that losing you, completely broke my heart.

They told us time would heal our pain, but there's no way they could know. We miss you even more today Than when we had to let you go.

Eighteen years without you now, A liftetime so it seems. I wonder who you d be today, If you could have lived your dreams.

We're so thankful for the memories, They're so strong within our hearts. And when we walk through Heaven's door, We never more will part.

We love you We miss you Mom and Dad

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

IFAA offers Iowa youths $192,750 in scholarships

OST photo by AMY HANSEN

Second place:

This is the second place award Kyle Wilson, managing editor, and Amy Hansen, news editor, received for “Best Breaking News Story” during Iowa Newspaper Association Convention Friday, Feb. 5, in Des Moines.

Winners announced for 2015 Save Now, Save Later program • Thirty Iowa parents awarded $1,500 deposits to College Savings Iowa accounts for high school students WEST DES MOINES — Parents across the state of Iowa are getting a $1,500 boost to their student’s College Savings Iowa® account this spring, thanks to Iowa Student Loan’s Save Now, Save Later: College Savings Plan Parent Giveaway.

In this second year of the program the number of awards was increased from 20 to 30 to benefit even more Iowa families. Registration opened Aug. 13, and ran through Nov. 30. The program was open to Iowa residents who have a student in grade nine, 10, 11 or 12 at an Iowa high school.

“Additional funds for a child’s (College Savings Iowa) account will encourage parents to continue funding their accounts,” said Jeff McGuire, a winner from Hiawatha. “Every bit helps defray the rising costs of college.”

Parents who registered

were required to complete the co-signer version of Student Loan Game Plan, a free online, financial education tool offered by Iowa Student Loan, with versions for students and for parents. After the registration period, entries were chosen at random from about 1,000 qualified participants.

“I think (the program) is a good way to show the impact of borrowing,” said Greg Fritz, a winner from Pocahontas. “Too many people don’t think about all of the interest that they have to pay. And saving is easy, even if you can only start small.”

All 30 winners will have a $1,500 deposit made into a new or existing College Savings Iowa account for their eligible child. Iowa Student Loan works directly with College Savings Iowa on the giveaway. College Savings Iowa is the state’s direct-sold 529 program, administered
