Performances are Saturday, Feb. 15, and Sunday, Feb. 16, at Osceola Country Club.

Characters There are many characters who contribute to the plot development of the “FortyFive Minutes from Broadway.” The cast consists of 13 actors.

“We love you, man.”

Those were the words from Pastor Chuck DeVos as he presented Osceola Chamber/ Main Street’s 2013 Community Service award to Randy Brown at Clarke Community Development Corporation and the chamber’s annual dinner Jan. 28 at Lakeside Casino.

DeVos was the master of ceremonies for the evening.

According to DeVos, qualifications for the award require an individual to display commitment, dedication and loyalty to the community and causes benefitting the commu-

nity. The individual should invest time and effort into the betterment of the community and its residents.

Brown was nominated by Dr. Jim and Mary Ellen Kimball. Check out their nomination letter on the right.

Well-deserved DeVos said he met Brown many years ago and they immediately became friends.

“Here’s what I know. I know this that this man’s heart is every bit as big as he is,” DeVos said. “He not only knows the meaning of the word serve, he’s demonstrated his service to the United States of America, to Osceola, OST photo by AMY HANSEN

SWCC carpentry students work on 11th house

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Southwestern Community College (SWCC) students are contributing to development growth on the south side of Osceola.

Students in SWCC’s carpentry and building trades class are currently working on constructing a house at 245 Manor Drive.

“We’ve been pretty lucky,” said Charlie Mundy,

the class’ instructor. “We had a hard time getting the roof on it ... but once we put the roof on it, then it turned cold.”

Mundy said students have been working since the beginning of the school year, and the roof was put on right before dismissal for winter break.

Inside work With the frigid weather, students have been hanging drywall inside the house and will move on to hang-

ing cabinets and flooring.

“So it’s going to start moving pretty quick, as least as far as the inside of the house,” Mundy said.

Once the weather improves, Mundy said he expects the class to work on concrete and outside work around the house.

There are 12 students working in the carpentry and building trades class.

Loebsack tours Clarke County with sheriff’s deputy

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

What would inspire a Congressman to go on a ride-along with a sheriff’s deputy?

According to Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, it’s one of the best ways to learn about a local community.

“I find, without exception, that sheriff’s deputies, SINGLE COPY PRICE: 75¢

Copyright 2014 2013

sheriffs, law-enforcement officers, in general, have a very good sense of what’s happening in our community,” said Loebsack during an afternoon ride-along Jan. 25 with Clarke County Deputy Sheriff Christian Decker.

“They’ve often learned a lot about their community over the years, too.”

Loebsack motioned to Decker during the ridealong and said, “He knows a lot about it. As you can tell,

I have a lot of questions.”

Dien Judge, Loebsack’s Congressional aide, and Amy Hansen, news editor of Osceola Sentinel-Tribune, were also in attendance during the ride-along.

The ride-along was the last scheduled event for Loebsack, who had already visited Rathbun Lake, Humeston and Leon earlier in the day.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Response to Schaff’s letter

By SARAH TRUITT Osceola

Please let this letter serve as a means for clearing up some mistruths that may have been read in the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune recently.

First and foremost, I would like to state the facts that have led to the “animosity” between Councilman Schaff and myself. Please refer to the minutes from the meetings for any verification you feel you might need.

Last year, while discussing funds for the senior center, Mr. Schaff suggested that we cut the funding to the animal shelter in order to support the senior center. I pointed out in a meeting that you cannot simply take funds from one entity (especially a service to the community that is being paid for) and donate them to another, and you certainly can’t do it without a majority vote from the council.

It was suggested again by Mr. Schaff, at the second January meeting of this year, that until we resolve the issue regarding the most recent $3,000 donation to the senior center, that we suspend all funding to the animal shelter. I’m not sure how these two organizations are related at all, except that they are both very important parts of our community and contribute greatly to our quality of life.

I never asked Mr. Schaff to resign from his position on the board at the senior center. I simply suggested that the council act accordingly to avoid any conflict of interest issues.

I am sorry that Mr.Schaff interpreted these comments about conflict of interest as being personal attacks.

There are standards about avoiding conflicts of interest that are in place to protect government officials.

They exist for good reason and are

necessary to maintain the integrity of the decisions the council must make.

It was not my intention to risk the funds to the senior center. And, I certainly did not appear before the council to “get back” at Mr. Schaff. I am offended that I would be accused of allowing my personal issues with one of the council members to motivate any behavior regarding the business of our community. That is unacceptable and I am certainly more professional than that.

For those readers who have never met me in person, I am disappointed that you only know what Mr. Schaff has stated about me. I am a kind person. I am compassionate. I am intelligent. I am responsible.

During my time on the city council, it was my own personal goal to bring a sense of professionalism and dignity to the city and staff. In doing so, I expected each of us to truly be accountable for our decisions — myself included — and to treat one another with respect.

Once upon a time, Mr. Schaff was very supportive of me, introduced me to many of our citizens, offered encouraging words and helped me get the hang of things. I can think of countless others within the city who used to be within his favor, but who now have also become the target of his public shaming and criticism.

I am disappointed and embarrassed that these conflicts have made their way into our weekly newspaper.

I do not intend to respond publicly to any future letters regarding myself, but it is my duty to defend my own honor. I would invite anyone who doubts my intentions to please call me or stop by. You might be surprised at how easy I am to get along with.

Examining the risks, benefits of unmanned aircraft systems

By REP. JOEL FRY

The Fry Times

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

The House Public Safety Committee has started investigating the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also commonly referred to as drones, in the State of Iowa. Five state representatives (Klein, Fry, Baudler, Anderson, Berry) will be amending House File 427 to address the use of UAS by the State and by private citizens.

Unmanned aircraft systems vary in size, shape and purpose.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), UAS can be as large as Boeing 737’s or as small as radio controlled helicopters. Because of the varying sizes and uses, the FAA is beginning the long process of determining how UAS should be used and regulated.

Currently, the FAA has selected six research and test sites across the country. The locations include, the University of Alaska, Nevada, New York’s Griffiss International Airport, North Dakota, Texas A&M — Corpus Christi and Virginia Polytechnic Institute with Virginia Tech. Each test site will focus on different research, including climate impacts on UAS, certification requirements, FAA safety oversight, airworthiness testing

JOEL FRY

and risks of UAS. States across the nation are divided on the use of UAS. In 2013, Hawaii, Nevada, North Dakota, Maryland and other states appropriated money for various programs to aid in the study of UAS. Other states, such as Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas placed strict standards on the use of UAS by state agencies. In most cases, law enforcement and other agencies will now have to obtain a search warrant to use a UAS. However, a majority of states have not passed any major legislation on this important issue.

Experts on unmanned aircraft systems have suggested that they could be used for many purposes. In times of

natural disasters or terrorist attacks, UAS can safely fly where a manned aircraft wouldn’t be able.

The information collected by the UAS could be used to help facilitate a rescue operation or clear a dangerous area without the risk to human life. UAS can also be used in more destructive ways. Some organizations have planned to use UAS to harass or intimidate others, including people who are lawfully hunting or fishing. Preventing intimidation through the use of UAS is a major focus for Iowa Legislators.

As the legislative session continues, representatives are open to legislative changes to ensure that unmanned aircraft systems are used in a safe and responsible manner. One that respects private property rights but also assists law enforcement with legal purposes. Individuals interested in this issue are urged to contact their local representative.

Please join me at one of my legislative coffees during the course of the 2014 legislative session.

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

LEON — Interstate 35 went 3-0 here Thursday at Central Decatur’s quad wrestling meet, highlighted by a 39-33 win over the host Cardinals.

The Roadrunners picked up two straight pins to tie the dual at 33-33.

off SCC-leading Albia

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

For the second straight season, Clarke head girls basketball coach Eric Zoske came into his team’s senior night with a group of seniors he knew he could count on.

And, for the second season in a row, his team came away with a big win on senior night, sending those seniors off in style here Friday night.

This time, the Lady Indians scored a 56-51 win over South Central Conference leading Albia, which was previously unbeaten in conference play.

The Lady Dees entered the game with a 13-4 record overall.

“If someone has to shake up the conference a little bit, it might as well be us,” Zoske said. “Once again, we had three seniors do everything they possibly could and left it all out on the floor to make sure their last home game, they walked off with a win.”

Zoske said two keys to the victory were having a good game plan coming into the game, and having post player Baylie Balcaen back in the lineup.

Balcaen missed the team’s

first game against Albia with a knee injury, as the Lady Dees rolled to a 57-32 win in that contest.

“Baylie was able to play this game, so she made a big difference for us,” Zoske said. “You watch the game or you look at the stats, and Baylie had only a couple of points and a couple of rebounds, but when she’s not on the floor, we are a different team. She had one of the best rebounds I’ve ever seen of a high school female athlete that night.”

But, Friday night was all about the seniors, and Zoske’s seniors put on a performance for the home crowd.

Libby Bemis led the Lady Indians with 22 points and eight rebounds.

B e m i s shot 9-of12 from the free Bemis throw line in the game. Devon Carson netted 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the floor and grabbed six boards.

S e n i o r Carson

Carley Robins scored eight points for Clarke to go with three assists and three steals.

Fellow senior Ashley Heston also started for the Lady Indians on senior night.

“Libby’s been clicking on offense,” Zoske said. “Earlier in the year, she was getting her fair share of points, but she was kind of forcing it. Now, she’s just playing and having fun doing it.”

Clarke shot 20-of-24 from the free throw line as a team against Albia, which played an important role in the close game.

The Lady Indians trailed by six points entering the fourth quarter, but Clarke outscored Albia 27-16 in the final quarter for the win.

“I think we missed three field goals in the fourth quarter and maybe one free throw,” Zoske said. “We were doing a good job of being aggressive. Albia had to go man-to-man, because we were hitting our shots from the outside. They go manto-man and we were getting free throws off of pick-androll sets. Free throws are contagious.”

Zoske said he was also impressed with Maddi Heath’s play at the point Please see CLARKE, page 8

SEYMOUR — Murray took a commanding 40-13 lead into halftime here Friday, rolling to a 59-37 win over Lamoni in the Bluegrass Conference semifinals.

The Lady Mustangs improved to 15-2 for the season with the win.

“Got off to a quick start and an early lead,” head coach Jerry Shields said.

“We were able to get everyone a lot of playing time and give a little rest for the starters.”

Megan Oswald led the way for the Lady Mustangs, scoring 16 points with eight rebounds.

Kate Patton had Oswald a strong game with 13 points, nine assists and six steals. Madison Gonseth just missed a double-double

with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Deena Snyder, Courtney Siefkas and Shelby Myers each scored four points. Myers grabbed four rebounds, while Snyder finished with four. Cheyanne Ashby scored three points.

Murray 63, ACA 59 SEYMOUR — Murray built an early lead and then held off an Ankeny Christian run in the second half for a 63-59 win here on Friday, claiming the Bluegrass Conference Tournament title.

It marks the first time the Lady Mustangs have won the conference tournament since 2007.

Kate Patton scored 30 points in the game, becoming Murray’s all-time career leader in scoring, pass- Patton

ing the mark set by Kristin (Shields) Flaherty in 2007 of 1,248 points.

“We got out to an early lead and were able to hold off a couple of ACA runs in the fourth quarter,” head coach Jerry Shields said.

“They cut the lead to five three or four times, but could not get any closer. We made some key free throws down the stretch. Had a seven-point lead at the end and they made a three at the buzzer.”

Patton also recorded six steals with four assists. Megan Oswald recorded a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Madison Gonseth finished with 11 points and eight boards.

Deena Snyder scored four points, while Courtney Siefkas, Chellsea Jones and McKenzie McIntosh each added two points. McIntosh pulled down five rebounds and Jones dished out five assists.

“The American Cancer Society Relay For Life gives people in Clarke County a unique opportunity to contribute to the Society’s mission of saving lives, by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back,” said Karen Irwin, event chair for the Clarke County Relay for Life.

“Residents who give their time, energy and financial commitment to this exciting event are really standing up for our community and its pledge to join the fight. We

received tremendous support from the community last year at the first Relay for Life and despite the bad weather we encountered the night of the Relay, the event was a huge success.”

Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faithbased groups, people from all walks of life – all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost, and fighting back against the disease.

Relay For Life events are

held as individuals and teams gather at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their relay.

If you would like to volunteer on the Relay For Life committee or serve as a team captain, please contact Karen Irwin at 641-572-0100 or visit RelayForLifeof-

Keeping the spirit alive

By Father David Polich St. Bernard Catholic Church

The six weeks or so between Thanksgiving Day and New Year’s Day are usually filled with generosity and good will.

Certainly, that was the case locally in the recent holiday season. Many people opened their hearts and their coffers to both neighbor and stranger. Food, monetary donations and assistance of various kinds were plentiful for those in need.

The outpouring of concern was real and genuine and significant. It was the Christmas spirit in all its wonder and glory.

But, the spirit wanes. Those who were cold or hungry or unemployed in December are probably no less so in January or February.

Individuals who are homebound or otherwise isolated still may be lonely. We need each other twelve months a year.

And the “Spirit of Christmas” is the spirit of Christ, who said, “I give you a new commandment. Love one another as I have loved you.”

That kind of love is neither seasonal nor occasional, but a way of life. Moreover, it needs to reach beyond the charitable actions inspired by the holidays.

True love leads us to seek good education for all, adequate health and wellness care, jobs with a living wage, a safe environment, emotional and spiritual support for each and every one of us.

Joseph Veneroso, a Roman Catholic priest of the Maryknoll missionary order, recently wrote a poem, “Seeking Wisdom and Truth,” which reflects on the great religions of the world.

He begins and ends his poem with the following stanza: What difference which tree or how deep the root Or how old or who planted the vine?

Who cares how beautiful or fragrant the flower If not now, this most holy hour Believers fail to bear good fruit?

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

RIDE-ALONG: Continued from Page 1

New places While Loebsack has visited Osceola numerous times since acquiring Clarke County in Iowa’s Second Congressional District in the 2012 elections, he had never been to Woodburn or Murray before.

“It’s fine for Dien to get around and tell me about these places, but I need to be there myself, at least, from time to time,” Loebsack said.

While Decker escorted Loebsack on a tour of Osceola, Woodburn and Murray, the Congressman had many questions about the county and law enforcement.

Loebsack asked Decker what was the biggest challenge of his job.

“It’s tricking your body into sleeping whenever you can,” Decker answered.

When it comes to illegal substances, Decker said the county also sees a lot of methamphetamine, marijuana and problems with prescription pills.

Language barriers Loebsack said there was a big Latino population in Osceola and asked Decker if there were a lot of language barriers that impacted his job as deputy sheriff.

“At times,” Decker said.

“We have people we can get a hold of for interpreters.”

Decker added, when communicating to a Spanishspeaking adult, law enforcement will often converse with the adult’s bilingual child.

Decker said language barriers become more of a challenge when communicating with Russian- or Albanianspeaking truck drivers passing through on Interstate 35.

Another question Loebsack asked was if the winter weather had been a challenge to the department, and if cabin fever had caused an influx of calls.

Decker said it was the opposite of what people might expect.

“There was a pretty long period where we didn’t have many calls at all,” he said.

In appreciation According to Decker, he has done many ride-alongs, but this was the first one he has done for a Congressman.

A Congressional term is two years, and Loebsack is seeking re-election in November.

Loebsack said it’s important to support law enforcement, as well as local communities.

“I really appreciate it,” Loebsack said while thanking Decker at the end of the ride-along.
