Be prepared Severe Weather Awareness Week, storm spotter trainings planned

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Severe weather can strike at any time.

The people of Clarke County know that well.

Last May, an early morning thunderstorm had enough force to blow off approximately 80 Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) train cars near Lacelle Road.

What was thought to be a potential tornado touchdown was actually shown to be high-speed, straight-line winds.

The severe thunderstorm appeared to take many people by surprise, and it was confirmed no weather warning was issued.

That is why Severe Weather Awareness Week is so important. People need to know what to do in an emergency.

“That’s when we encourage everybody to test their plans for going to a shelter,” said Allan Mathias with Clarke County Emergency Management (EMA). “It’s a good time to do that every year.”

Storm spotter training Clarke County’s storm spotter training is planned 7 p.m.

Tuesday, March 15, in the auditorium at Clarke Community High School. It is taught by the National Weather Service.

The class is free, and everyone is welcome to attend. This will be the only time it is offered this year in Clarke County. For questions, call Clarke County EMA at 641-342-6654.

In March Iowa’s Severe Weather Awareness Week is planned March 21-25.

Each day has a different weather-related theme during the week.

The statewide tornado siren is planned approximately 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 23. It goes through all the stages from the watch to the Please see SEVERE WEATHER, Page 4

Sally Riekena of Osceola has been creating art for as long as she can remember.

“I mean, I just always had something I was drawing,” she said.

Recently, Lakeside Hotel and Casino has provided an area for Clarke Area Arts Council (CAAC) to showcase different local artists’ work.

Gary Robins of Murray was the first artist to be showcased. Riekena is now the second artist to have her work on display. Her work will be up for approximately two months.

Her paintings Venture out to Lakeside and you will see Riekena does a lot of watercolors and acrylics. In middle school, she started out with oils.

Once Riekena got into high school, she took classes at the Des Moines Art Center. She remembers walking around drawing what was in view at the time.

There is an important piece of advice Riekena got from those art classes years ago.

“Just do what you like,” she said.

What Riekena likes to paint varies because she has been known to draw people, nature scenes, buildings and barns. Sometimes, she even comes up with a nature scene off the top of her head.

“The thing that amazes me is (Sally) is able to draw and paint without looking at something,” said Mary El-

len Kimball with CAAC. The snow scene on display at Lakeside is something Riekena made up in her head, as well as other pieces, including one titled “Dancing Guitars.”

While it’s an honor to have her artwork showcased, Riekena said she was reluctant to have her paintings on display. This is because Please see RIEKENA, Page 12

New Casey’s General Store on track to open by early summer

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

In just a few short months, Osceola will have a brand new Casey’s General Store.

“I think they’re in great shape,” said Dave Leonard, Osceola’s zoning administrator/building inspector, community development. “They got the important things in before the winter hit.”

Construction is currently going on with the development of a new Casey’s building at the intersection of Highways 34 and 69 in town.

It’s also known as the “four corners” by local residents.

Leonard said since the new building is enclosed, a lot of work can be done inside, even in bad winter weather.

In 2012, Casey’s purchased 22 Kum and Go gas stations, including the one in Osceola.

Currently, Casey’s employees are operating out of the

former Kum and Go building.

Once the new Casey’s building is ready, the old Kum and Go store will be torn down.

According to Sam James, financial analyst for Casey’s General Stores, the existing store will close April 3 for demolition and the new store is scheduled to open in June.

“However, that could change depending on how the weather cooperates,” James said.

What it will have The new Casey’s will be a 4,200 square-foot store with six gas pumps. The pumps will be placed where the former Kum and Go building currently is located.

The store will have all the amenities of Casey’s newest store design, which includes made-to-order sub sandwiches, made-from-scratch pizza and doughnuts, a walkin beer cave and large coffee and fountain area.

“This is one of their newer plans,” Leonard said.

“You’ll walk in and there will be a raised podium for the cashiers.”

Junior Lewis Patterson, only child of Russell and Sadie Pennington Patterson, was born at home southwest Patterson of Lucas on Dec. 26, 1931. He left his earthly home Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016, at Legacy Lodge in Chariton.

He attended White Oak School, just up the hill west of his home, graduating from the eighth grade. He farmed, worked at Little Giant in Des Moines, drove a truck for Don McCauley of Lucas and retired in 1992, having worked 32 years on the section crew for the CB&Q and Burlington Northern Railroads.

He was united in marriage to Theresa Ann Duree on Aug. 19, 1950. For the next 61½ years, they made their home on a farm just over the hill from where Junior was born and raised.

Here, they raised their children Becky and Bruce.

two daughters, Elizabeth and Jennifer. She was a business partner with her husband in publishing the Brooklyn Chronicle, Sheldon Mail, Sheldon Sun and Osceola Sentinel-Tribune. Their newspapers won more than 160 national and state honors, and she and Frank received the first national Edward Jones Golden Heart Award for their efforts to help the less fortunate in O’Brien County.

In 1962, Sally Morlan was among the first people to undergo open-heart surgery when she was operated on by Dr. Walt Lillehei at the University of Minnesota. She looked on the following years as a gift and took nothing for granted. Her heart was never strong, but it was powerful. She taught her daughters how to make a

bed with hospital corners, how to tend a garden and how to correctly fold a towel (in half and then trifold). She taught them to stand up for their beliefs and the rights of others.

In Sheldon, Sally helped found the Children’s World daycare center when she and others in the community realized there was a need for affordable, safe child care. She was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Sheldon, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Des Moines and PEO Sisterhood.

After she moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, she continued to cheer for ISU, UNI and Iowa. She believed in the Grace of God, was proud of her Swedish heritage and being an Iowan. She loved her family and friends with all her heart.

Sally was preceded in death by her husband, parents and sister Jane Glenn.

Survivors include daughter Elizabeth Morlan Walls of Albany, Oregon, her husband D. Mack Walls, and grandsons, Robbie and Jackson; daughter Jennifer Morlan-Horner of Indianapolis, Indiana, her husband, Scott Horner, and grandson Thomas; sister Nancy Clarke of Phoenix, Arizona, and brother-inlaw Bud Holland; brother-in-law Cedric Glenn of Adel; sister-in-law Bonnie Neiderheiser; nieces and nephews and many friends.

sisted Living in Chariton. Theresa passed away March 28, 2013. In November 2013, after complications from surgery, Junior moved to Chariton Nursing Home and Rehab Center.

In January of this year, he made his final move to Legacy Lodge.

Since 1977, he was a proud member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

He enjoyed taking an active role in both Chariton and Osceola clubs. He and Theresa attended local, district and state meetings supporting various charities through the years. As well as the Eagles, Junior had several passions to keep him active before and after retirement.

If there was an auction near or far, he was there.

He especially enjoyed following Peasley Auction where he helped in many ways. His primary duty was to run sheets from the clerk to the cashier. But his favorite time was spent bidding and adding to his collection of Keen Kutter, Winchester and railroad items to include several Winchester guns, crescent wrenches and anvils—no matter what size. His love for Allis Chalmers tractors was well known. In later years, he owned a 170 and

D17 Series IV using them both work and play. Junior also enjoyed Brittney Spaniels beginning with Speck in 1973 through Luke, who was the last. Luke rode everywhere with him while riding in the pickup. Even after moving to Chariton, he would go to the farm to give Luke his daily ride.

He inherited his love of gardening from his mom.

They would plant any kind of produce to include over a 100 tomato plants. He and Theresa would work many hours freezing and canning the many fruits and vegetables and still have an abundance to generously give away.

At the very top of his activity list was spending time with his family. He was always there to help with every move of Becky and Bruce, babysit grandchildren and attend as many of their events of the children as he was able. No matter what the need, he was always there.

Left to honor his memory are his daughter Becky (Dan) Allen of Lucas; his son Bruce (Marsha) Patterson of Chariton; granddaughters, Emily (Steve) Peasley of Slater and Katie (Doug) Cooper of Mondamin; his grandsons, Cale Patterson of Lucas and

Jared (Julie) Patterson of Chariton; great-grandchildren, Kent and Ellen Cooper of Lubbock, Texas and Brooke, Danielle and Justin Cooper of Mondamin; sister-in-law Naomi Sly of Davenport and a host of extended family and friends.

Preceding him in death was his wife Theresa; parents, Russell and Sadie; parents-in-law Harry and Rebecca Duree, seven brothers-in-law and six sisters-in-law .

Services were held 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, at Fielding Funeral Home, 227 S. Grand St., in Chariton with the Rev. Dale and the Rev. Linda O’Connell officiating. Visitation was held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12, at the funeral home. Interment took place in Chariton Cemetery following the service. Bearers were Cale Patterson, Jared Patterson, Doug Cooper, Steve Peasley, Rusty Pennington, Arden Hubbard and Rusty Clark.

Online condolences may be left at www.fieldingfuneralhomes.com.

Terry D. Roberts officiating.

Burial will be in Van Wert Cemetery at a later date. A memorial fund has been established by the family.

Colleen graduated from Van Wert High School in 1953.

She started working at Banker’s Life in Des Moines.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

‘Miscarriage’ of justice

By Sherry Mesle-Morain, MSW William D. Morain, MD Lamoni

Having worked through the heartbreaks of serial miscarriages in our extended family not long ago, we must express our dismay at a current bill in the Iowa House whose subcommittee is chaired by our own Representative Joel Fry. The bill (HF2140) would mandate that all miscarriages be reported to authorities within 72 hours in order to create an official death certificate and that the mother obtain (per section 142.33) a “burial transfer permit” from the medical examiner “prior to the removal of the body or fetus from the place of death and the permit shall accompany the body or fetus to the place of final disposition.”

The death certificate would become a public record for all to see in perpetuity.

Since those miscarriages in our family occurred in the late first trimester, one strains to visualize the scene in which such “fetal parts” are to be confirmed to a medical examiner prior to removal from the “place of death” within 72 hours to obtain the death certificate.

The contingent law would further mandate that the fetal parts be returned to the mother or transferred to a licensed funeral director for lawful disposal. Failure to comply would result in confinement for up to a year.

In our family those moments of

heartache were devastating to a young couple dear to us who were trying to start a family. They knew too well their loss and wished to grieve privately. What conceivable benefit to society is to be gained by subjecting such couples to the burden of intrusive government regulations on an occasion of personal tragedy?

At such moments, couples need the autonomy to handle the loss in their own way. Should they wish to view the fetal parts or share them with others for any reason, so be it. If not, fine.

Many, as in our case, would certainly prefer neither legislative imposition nor public announcement. Our family certainly does not require any death certificates to remember those hours of dismay.

It strains the mind that those like Representative Fry, who profess support for limited government, seem to demand the greatest intrusion into the most intimate sphere of human activity and health, especially in regard to women.

How is this Iowa nice? It has nothing to do with the tiresome debate over when life starts. It is about respecting the needs and wishes of one another at our most vulnerable times.

Perhaps our representative needs to hear from those who understand life differently (joel.fry@legis.iowa. gov).

Representative Fry has been named the Republican House Whip by his colleagues. Let us hope the lash can be muted.

warning.

Mathias said the awareness week was also a good time for people to make sure they could hear the storm sirens throughout town.

He said they’ve heard people talk about hearing the noon whistle but not the storm sirens.

“A lot of that depends on the wind conditions and the weather – how far you can hear those sirens,” Mathias said.

Make a plan It’s important for people to be individually prepared.

People should have portable weather radios, weather apps on their phones, a plan with where to go for shelter, water and food in the shelter and a contact person who doesn’t live in the Osceola area.

Mathias stressed the importance of having someone outside of Clarke County know where a loved one might be during a storm.

“If you’re in a shelter in your basement and your house collapses, if your trapped, people may not know where you’re at (or) know

where even to look for you,” he said.

Storm spotter training The reminder for Severe Weather Awareness Week is coming early because this year is Clarke County’s turn to host storm spotter training sessions.

The training is planned 7 p.m.

Tuesday, March 15, in the auditorium at Clarke Community High School. It is taught by the National Weather Service.

The program lasts approximately an hour and a-half. The class is free, and everyone is welcome to attend.

This will be the only time it is offered this year in Clarke County.

For questions, call Clarke County EMA at 641-342-6654.

“You learn what to look for in the storms and get some ideas on where to go. It goes through a lot of details about the storms,” Mathias said.

Mathias said it’s great for spotters go to these trainings, because even if details might seem repetitive, the instructors always try to include something new to learn.

“We try to make it so people can go to one every year,” he said.

have four Casey’s, but in reality, it’s not.

“As far as the optimal number of locations in a given community, Casey’s is constantly evaluating how to best serve the residents of each community based on a number of factors, including population and traffic patterns,” James

said.

However, it was more simply put by Leonard, who said, “They all make money.”

Leonard continued to point out Casey’s is much more than just a gas station. It is also a grocery, restaurant and convenience store.

“They’re really hitting a lot of different markets and that’s what makes them successful,” he said.

The Fry Times

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

Currently there are bills in the Iowa Senate and Iowa House State Government Committees (SSB 3087 and HSB 583), which restrict the treasurer of state, the state board of regents and state employees’ public retirement systems from directly investing in certain companies engaged in a boycott of Israel.

In addition, this bill would require the state and its agencies “entering into contract with a company of $1,000 or more to include a written certification in the contract that the company will not engage in a boycott of Israel for the duration of the contract.”

This bill is in response to the BDS Movement. The BDS Movement is “global movement for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights [...].” “The demands [of the BDS Movement] make clear [to some] that the movement’s goal is ending Israeli statehood” through economic strangulation.

Legislating this issue is somewhat novel, as there are only a few states that have done this.

States that have passed Anti-BDS legislation have done so fairly recently. Those states are South Carolina and Illinois.

SEVERE WEATHER: Continued from Page 1

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

JOEL FRY

However, other states are in the process of moving similar legislation through their respective House Chambers.

Each of these state’s Anti-BDS bills take hard stances against the Boycott Israel Movement. For instance, “[t] he Tennessee resolution declares that the BDS movement is ‘one of the main vehicles for spreading anti-Semitism and advocating the elimination of the Jewish state,’ adding that BDS activities in Tennessee ‘undermine the Jewish people’s right to self-determination.’”

Tennessee’s law also “states that the BDS movement and its agenda are ‘inherently antithetical and deeply damaging to the causes of peace, justice, equality, democracy and human rights for all the peoples in the Middle East.’”

Iowa’s proposed bill does the

same, as at the outset it states, “The general assembly is deeply concerned and does not support boycotts and related tactics that have become a tool of economic warfare that threaten the sovereignty and security of allies and trade partners of the United States, including the state of Israel.”

While all of these states have different variances in their respective Anti-BDS legislation, all of these laws are a response to a singular issue: “political revulsion over the long-simmering BDS movement (“Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions” – the strategy of economic warfare and delegitimization against Israel).”

This bill is gaining some traction in both chambers of the Iowa Legislature, as the bill passed subcommittee on Feb. 9 in the Senate and Feb.10 in the House. http://unitedwithisrael.org/ florida-becomes-5th-state-topass-anti-bds-laws/ http://bdsmovement.net/ bdsintro#sthash.rLzdPyq3.dpuf 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 Ritter’s Café

By S.L. Davis Contributer

Ritter’s Café was located on the east edge of Osceola (later the location of Eastside Auto).

It was operated between 1950 and 1954 by Aaron and Mae (Wilson) Ritter. For a short time it was named Ritter’s Truckers’ Inn and then changed to Ritter’s Café.

It was an L-shaped building, with their living quarters in the back and a garage on the south side where Aaron worked on vehicles. Aaron was a mechanic and had previously worked for Myers’ Motor Company in Osceola.

His granddaughter Debra Rodda Stearns remembers he made her a swing to play on by the garage so she could watch him work on cars.

Mae loved to cook and prepared meals at the café and enjoyed visiting and meeting people. She routinely made 14 loaves of bread three times a week for the family. Aaron also helped with the café cooking.

They served meals at lunch and dinner. Their daughters were a big help in the café.

Ada helped with the cooking and waited tables and Thelma would wait tables after school.

weekend a month, she would also help. The boys, Pat, Bill and Doyle, had already graduated and left home.

As Aaron and Mae were both musically inclined and also enjoyed dancing, the café had a jukebox and a small area where people would sometimes dance.

Aaron played the banjo, guitar, fiddle and piano by ear.

Mae and her sisters used to sing at the “opry house” in New Virginia before they married and Mae would play piano between movie film changes.

They both later played for barn dances while farming before they went into the restau-

rant business. Aaron was born in 1895 in the Lacelle area and grew up around Weldon. Mae (Wilson) was born near Medora and grew up in the New Virginia area.

Her father was a doctor and died when she was nine. Her mother raised their six children on her own.

Aaron, who had served in World War I, was not always in good health, and as a result, suffered a stroke in 1954 and passed away. Mae sold the cafe.

She then moved to a rented house in Osceola and in later years lived with her daughter Ada and son-in-law Cecil Rodda before passing away in 1970.

Senior 160-pounder Sal Arzani also won a district title for the Roadrunners, dominating his bracket.

Central Decatur junior Kade Kelso shoots a double-leg takedown on Creston/O-M senior Joey Huntington for the winning points in the final 10 seconds of a 3-1 decision over Huntington in the wrestleback match at 152 pounds at Saturday’s district tournament.

TRURO — Clarke fought back from a late deficit, but didn’t quite have enough to pull out the victory here on Feb. 11 against Interstate 35.

The Roadrunners held on for a 65-60 win, as allstate point guard Jaylan White scored 19 of Interstate 35’s 21 fourth-quarter points on his way to a game-high 34 points.

The two teams went back and forth for three quarters, with Interstate 35 building an eight-point lead (40-32) in the third quarter, before Clarke responded with a 12-2 run, highlighted by back-toback 3-pointers by Troy Morgan.

Tied at 44-44 going into the fourth quarter, Interstate 35 twice built leads of seven points. But Morgan and Justin Adams made 5-of-6 free throws and Morgan got a basket and a 3-pointer to draw the Indians to within 59-58.

Lucas Ealy cut to the basket on a side out-ofbounds play for a layup, though, and White closed the game out with four free throws to preserve the 65-60 win.

“That’s what we’ve been doing a lot lately, just struggling to finish,” Clarke head coach James Larson said. “You take a look at our entire season, we have three wins, but we have a lot of close games.

We just struggle to finish, execute at the end.”

Morgan led Clarke

with 20 points in the loss, w h i l e G r a n t Wishon added 14 and Brandyne Olin Morgan had 11.

Brennon McCuddin scored 23 points for Interstate 35, with 18 of those coming in the first half.

Clarke ended the regular season 4-17 with a 7964 win over Lamoni on Saturday, in which four players scored in double figures. Freshman Cobey Robins led the way with 19 points, while Wishon had 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Adams scored 15 points and Olin finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds.

ATLANTIC — Central Decatur junior Kade Kelso and sophomore Wyatt Dale both finished as runners-up here Saturday at the Class 2A District 2 Tournament, advancing to today’s State Wrestling Tournament at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Dale, 47-7, picked up a pin in 2:55 over Ronan Noeth of Harlan in the 106-pound semifinals, before losing an 8-1 decision to eighth-ranked Kole Hansen of Atlantic in the finals.

Hansen had pinned Dale in the sectional finals the previous week.

With Noeth pinning Red Oak’s Cam Vanderhoof in the third-place match, Dale did not have to wrestle back.

“He closed the gap a little bit,” Central Decatur head coach Brian Carson said about Dale’s match with Hansen. “I hope he’s ready to go. I’d like to think we can go get on the podium.”

Kelso opened his district tournament with a 16-0 technical fall of Red Oak’s Thomas Bentley in the

Slow start sinks Clarke girls

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

MONROE — The Clarke girls basketball season came to an end here Saturday in a 57-35 loss to Prairie City Monroe.

The Lady Indians (517) put themselves behind the 8-ball early, as it took Clarke until 7 minutes, 48 seconds to get on the scoreboard. PCM started the game on a 12-0 run before Vanessa Bakley’s basket finally got the Lady Indians on the board.

“Going into it, we had a good game plan. If we had to play them again, I wouldn’t change anything we did,” Clarke head coach Eric Zoske said. “Came out early and missed a couple of short jump s h o t s .

Missed a 3-pointer in the corner by Zoske Sydnee Redman, which we’ll take all day. Nerves, I think, got to us more than anything that first quarter.”

Bakley made 3-of-4 from the free throw line during a stretch in the second quarter to draw Clarke within single digits. It stayed that way until halftime, with Clarke trailing 19-10 at the break.

“We felt pretty good going into halftime,” Zoske said. “We just needed to get the ball into the hoop.”

But foul trouble was mounting for Clarke, as seniors Maddi Heath and Baylie Balcaen each had three fouls going into halftime and Bakley had two.

Bakley picked up a third foul early in the third quarter.

Heath, dealing with a sprained ankle, sprained her other ankle early in the

third quarter, as well.

PCM scored eight of the first 10 points of the third quarter and just a few minutes later, put together an 8-0 run to take a 37-20 lead.

“It just didn’t quite work out for us, but I loved our effort,” Zoske said. “PCM is a pretty good team. But if we were hitting our shots early, I think we definitely had a chance.”

With Clarke already in foul trouble and now playing aggressively on defense, PCM was able to extend its lead in the fourth quarter.

“They did a better job of breaking our press the second half, which they struggled with the first half,” Zoske said. “We had 12 steals for the game. We did everything we possibly could to stay in that game, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to get the ball in the hoop to win it.”

Bakley led the Lady Indians in the loss with 17 points, including shooting 6-8 from the free throw line. Heath closed out her career with six points, while freshman Deseree Stubbe finished with five points.

Stubbe also grabbed 10 rebounds before eventually fouling out of the game.

Zoske said his freshmen, in particular Stubbe and Megan Linskens, gained valuable experience this year, making the future of Clarke girls basketball bright.

“ D e s started every game as a freshman and she did great,” he said. “She Stubbe looked like one of the best athletes on the floor. Megan is going to be our point guard for the next three years. It was good to see those girls develop.”

Saturday’s loss marked the final game in a Clarke uniform for seniors Heath and Balcaen Balcaen.

“This is my first class I’ve had for four years,” Zoske said. “We’ve been through a lot together. Maddi has been very inspiring, not only to myself, but to all of the girls.

M a d d i overcame Heath a whole lot just to put on a uniform.

Baylie has been great, too.

I’m definitely going to miss those girls.”

Zoske also thanked the Clarke fans for all the support they’ve shown throughout the year.

“We had a lot of fan support this year. With us only winning five games, it’s easy to stay home on a cold night,” Zoske said. “We go to these road games, they’re (the crowd) almost boring sometimes and it doesn’t take long to figure out the crowd at Clarke is something different. I want to say thanks to the students, parents and people in the community who came out to show their support for these girls.”

IDPH supports national effort to raise awareness of prediabetes According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one in three Americans has prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are high, but not high enough yet to be classified as type 2 diabetes.

People with prediabetes are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes, heart dis-

ease and stroke.

In 2014, 7.8 percent of adult Iowans reported being told by a health care provider they have prediabetes or borderline diabetes. That’s an increase from 2013, when 6.2 percent of Iowa adults were told about the health risk.

It’s estimated the actual percentage of Iowans with prediabetes is much

The Gospel of Matthew ends this way: Now the 11 disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And, Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Some years ago, God blessed me with the opportunity to serve as chaplain to a church preschool for the summer one year. Well, to be perfectly honest, I didn’t feel too blessed when I was asked (OK, assigned) to this ministry.

“It’ll be good for you. You’ll get a new perspective on faith and ministry,” my mentor assured me. Alrighty then.

I was resigned to my fate, you might say, until that first day at chapel time. The young boys and girls came each morning to hear a Bible story and sing a song or two. So there I was, sitting on the steps in the sanctuary waiting as they paraded in, far more excited to see me than, well, you get the picture.

And the topics? First, baptism, specifically Jesus’ baptism. Second, His instruction for us to go share that with others. We sang a song and I told these two Bible stories.

A small boy sprang to his feet, excitement written all over his face. I read his name tag as it zipped before my eyes. He was sitting a mere two feet in front of me. Mark.

“Diagnosis the key to prevention,” said IDPH Diabetes Primary Prevention Coordinator Katie Jones. “Health care providers play an important role.

Research shows that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed through the evidence-based and cost-effective National Diabetes

Prevention Program.”

Prediabetes can often be reversed through weight loss, diet changes and increased physical activity.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Medical Association (AMA), and the CDC have recently partnered with the Ad Council on the first national prediabetes awareness campaign.

want to follow him. Can I be baptized right now?”

Whoa, I thought. I didn’t prepare for this. Thoughts scrambling, I almost missed the quiet but persistent tugging on my sleeve. Missy, her name tag read. “Missy?” I asked, hoping I looked a lot braver than I felt. “Pastor, I’ve only got one question. Do I have to get wet to get baptized?”

As Jesus spoke to the disciples that day, note that they all saw, but some worshipped, and some doubted. Jesus spoke to them all. Not just the doubters. Not just the worshippers. all of them. He spoke to them all. He called them all. Just like the group of preschoolers I met that morning.

Just like your group of friends. Just like the people you work with. Just like us.

To all the “Mark’s,” Jesus said, “Yes! Now, let’s go!”

And to all the “Missy’s,” He said, “Yes! Now, and yes, you’ll have to get wet.”

Jesus calls you and I just as surely as he called those disciples. He calls us just as surely as He called those preschoolers that day in the chapel. There will be days when we’ll say, “I’m ready! Jesus is cool, and I want to follow Him.” But, there will also be days when we too will answer, “Do I have to get wet?”

I pray that you’ll find and live a hope-filled, hope-full life, showing all who meet you that you truly believe Jesus when He says, “I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”

she creates art simply for her own private enjoyment.

She’s not in it for the fame or recognition.

Artist of the year However, good art can speak for itself.

Murray FFA visits capitol for symposium, FFA day MURRAY — Six senior FFA members and their advisory from Murray FFA joined with more than 350 high school students, from more than 50 schools, wearing blue corduroy as they flooded the Iowa State Capitol and the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates in Des Moines on Tuesday, Jan. 26.

Through this experience, students were able to build character and promote citizenship, volunteerism, and patriotism. The students visited with Rep. Joel Fry of Osceola, exhibit skills learned in the agriculture classroom and learn the importance of citizenship.

This was all part of the 31st annual Iowa FFA Legislative Symposium and FFA Day at the Capitol.

During the morning, FFA members heard from leaders in the agriculture industry at the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates.

Libby Crimmings of the World Food Prize addressed students about the future of Iowa agriculture and the importance of being involved with statewide issues.

The FFA members also heard remarks from Gov. Terry Branstad and Iowa Farm Bureau President Craig Hill about the importance young agriculturalists

can play in the legislative process.

Gov. Branstad signed the FFA Week Proclamation, declaring Feb. 20-27, the week of President George Washington’s Birthday, FFA Week in Iowa.

The proclamation signing took place during a special ceremony at the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates following legislative visits at the Iowa State Capitol Building.

The 31st annual Iowa FFA Legislative Symposium and FFA Day at the Capitol was made possible with support from Iowa Farm Bureau Federation through the Iowa FFA Foundation.

Arts council in early stages of preparation for a readers theatre Readers Theatre involves participants who have or have not had previous experience in Readers Theatre or acted in a play. There is no memorization, just reading.

Readers Theatre involves a group of people, often a small group but not always, who usually sit on stools and read selections of material.

Readers Theatre will center on one subject, which can be

on any subject.

There will be a minimum of rehearsals required — three or four rehearsals.

The material would include written literature, personal writings, greeting cards and pieces from newspapers. The script for the Readers Theatre performance will use this material. After the script is created participants will take parts and read for the

public.

Those who are interested in this activity or are curious about what Readers Theatre is, are invited to Carole Waterman’s home 7 p.m. Feb. 24.

Remember, participation is open to anyone in the area, man, woman or child.

For more information, call Carole Waterman at 641342-2838.

bility criteria, deadlines and application forms.

“We’ve wanted to have Sally be our artist of the year forever. I think since we started, we have asked her,” Kimball said. “Finally, I think we caught her.”

Riekena has had her artwork out in public before.

Her creations have been on display at King’s Canyon.

She has also been asked to do miniatures of century farms, especially around Christmas time.

Creating artwork is relaxing for Riekena, especially when she’s working on something that’s meaningful

to her. However, her projects and supplies can end up cluttered in her closet. She still has stuff she did in high school shoved away there.

“And, why do we keep them? I don’t know,” Riekena said. “You had fun doing it, so you just keep it.”

Up until the last couple of years, Riekena said she had a project going most of the time.

“It just seems like a natural thing to do,” she said.

“It’s better than watching television. It’s just something I like doing.”
