City approves FY 2015 budget By AMY HANSEN

Public invited to help create new logo, brand for Osceola By AMY HANSEN

Meeting scheduled

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Could there be a public image that reflects Osceola’s history, heritage and future? It’s currently in the works. One of the things city and development officials are doing is finding a community identity — with a brand or logo. “What’s it going to take to do, to arrive, at a brand in a community that’s diverse as ours, that everybody can take pride in,” said Bill Trickey, executive director of Clarke Community Development Corporation (CCDC). Identity committee Trickey asked Ty Wheeler, Osceola city administrator/clerk, to serve on an “identity” committee with him. Osceola City Councilman Dan Hooper has also been helping with the committee. Trickey has enlisted the help of Andrew Clark, who did the logo for CCDC, as a consultant. Where’s this process headed? Committee members want to get community involvement to get a broad base of input. Public meeting A meeting is scheduled 4 p.m. Friday at Clarke Community High School’s auditorium. The public is invited to attend. “The main thing is we want people to know that we want their input,” Trick-

Osceola City Council’s fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget has been approved. “This was not an easy budget year, obviously, for us,” said Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, during a March 4 city Wheeler council meeting. “There were a lot of changes that went into the property-tax laws that we had to compensate for and begin to try to plan around.” In the city’s FY 2015 budget: • Total expenditures, including all capital projects, were $16,108,000. • Total revenues were $16,393,000. • Property taxes accounted for $2,364,000. • The property-tax levy rate was $14.68 per $1,000 in taxable valuation. Taxable valuation Wheeler said there were two big changes this year that deal with taxable valuation, including it being the first year of a property-tax rollback where all commercial and industrial properties, telecom properties

and railroad properties were rolled back by 5 percent. “The city will receive a backfill for those commercial and industrial properties, however, not for the telecom or railroad properties,” Wheeler said. According to Wheeler, the second change with the taxable valuation was the equalization process at the county level, and where the residential building valuation went down by 15 percent. “Overall, we saw a decrease in that total taxable valuation,” he said, “a change in how that levy rate is calculated, in so far as what gets thrown into the taxable valuation formula, which caused us to go back and review what our levy had been historically and, perhaps, take a little bit different approach.” Tax revenue approach Wheeler said the city took a tax revenue approach to the budget, instead of a tax rate neutral approach, in order to keep the tax dollars the same and not worry what the rate did. As for other aspects of the FY 2015 budget, Wheeler said the sanitation fees will start to pay for all solid waste costs, and not Please see BUDGET, Page 4

Old poles, new issues Council enters into services agreement with Veenstra and Kimm to improve downtown By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

One light pole falling over can lead to a lot of extra and unforeseen work for city officials. This was the case when a light pole fell over on West Jefferson Street in downtown Osceola Feb. 27. The street light hit a parked vehicle and caused damage. It also brought down Christmas lights and power lines. “In talking with our insurer on the issue, and explaining it wasn’t blown down by wind or hit, and it was, in fact, the second one we’ve had come down on its own, they were concerned and felt that there was an issue that needed to be taken care of immediately,” said Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, during a March 4 Osceola City Council meeting. Wheeler said the old and damaged poles are being replaced. However, the downtown corridor issue goes back to the city’s work session in October where council members looked at downtown structures, street lights, crosswalks and ramps and cited several problems. Safety issues “I think, at that time, we were still looking at it through the lens of a downtown beautification project, and, I think, we’ve crossed over into a public-safety issue where we need

Day display case at Osceola Public Library. Patti Lesko, a member of Clarke Area Arts Council, designed the festive display case for Saint Patrick’s Day, which is Monday, March 17. Here’s some information about the holiday, which is also known as Feast of Saint Patrick. One of the most commonly recognized patron saints of Ireland is Saint Patrick because he is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland in the fifthcentury. According to legend, Saint Patrick, used a three-leaf shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to Irish pagans. Saint Patrick’s Day is always celebrated on March 17 because it is the date of Saint Patrick’s death.

CASA program seeks volunteers to advocate on behalf of Iowa children DES MOINES – The Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program is seeking volunteers to serve as advocates for children in Iowa’s foster care system. Currently, 460 CASA volunteers are providing advocacy on behalf of more than 900 children in the system. “We have heard from judges and service providers that many more Iowa foster children would benefit greatly from having an advocate in court. We hope to double the number of CASA advocates over the next two years,” said Jim Hennessey, administrator of the Child Advocacy Board (CAB), who oversees the CASA program. “We believe many more Iowans will step forward to help these children if they know of the need,” he added. A court appointed special advocate represents the interest of a child in any judicial proceeding in which the child is involved. Individuals who volunteer for the CASA program will complete a 30-hour pre-service training course before

being assigned to a case. Once assigned to a child’s case, the volunteer can expect to spend an average of 10 hours per month getting to know the child and his or her specific circumstances. “Volunteers get to know the child they represent by talking with everyone in the child’s life – parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers, and others,” Hennessey said. “They use this collected information to inform judges and others of the child’s needs, including what would appear to be the best permanent home for him or her. Serving as a CASA volunteer is a meaningful and rewarding way to be involved in the life of a child, advocating for a child’s needs and rights in court and in the community.” Iowans who would like to make a difference in the life of a child, are urged to contact the Court Appointed Special Advocate Program at 1-866-451-3214, or emailing the CASA Program coordinator at carrie.phelps@ dia.iowa.gov.

Thomas Hartigan

vived by one brother, Paul Hartigan (Dode), of Omaha, Neb., and two sistersin-law, Donna Hartigan of Cheyenne, Wyo., and Ruth French, of Oskaloosa, Iowa. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Raymond and Charles and sister-in-law Mary Jane Hartigan.

At the end of World War II, Tom began his academic career at William Penn College before transferring to the University of Northern Colorado, where he received his Bachelor of Arts. He later received a Master of Science from Iowa State University and completed post-graduate work at Montana State University, Drake University and the University of Northern Iowa. Tom married Eleanor Crumbaugh, the love of his life, on October 25, 1947, in Oskaloosa. They began a nearly 60-year partnership, marked by a zest for life, devotion to family and friends, and a shared commitment to the education and betterment of youth.

Tom was a life-long educator and athlete. He began his teaching and coaching career in 1950 at Platteville, Colo., where he taught social studies and coached various sports, including basketball, football, baseball and gymnastics. He continued his teaching and coaching career in Moulton, Iowa, and in 1954, Tom and Eleanor moved to Fort Dodge, where he was an educator for 32 years. Tom taught world history and physical education, and assumed various coaching responsibilities over the years, including basketball, golf and tennis for men and women. Wishing to reach younger children through fun and fitness, Tom left the high school to teach physical education in elementary schools, and served as health and physical education coordinator for the school system. From 1971 until his retirement in 1986, Tom educated Fort Dodge youth as an elementary principal at Wahkonsa, Pleasant Valley, Hillcrest, Feelhaver and Cooper Schools. Tom was a life-long member of the Colorado, Iowa and National Education Associations. Tom believed in actively serving one’s community. He served as a Fort Dodge Parks and Recreation tial carpenter.

Passmore of Mercer, Mo.; sisters, Jessica (husband Micheal) McGo-

Commissioner, board member for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, announcer for the Special Olympics, Trinity Regional Hospital Auxiliary Board member and volunteer for the Lord’s Cupboard Food Pantry. Tom’s personal time was dedicated first and foremost to his family and friends. In retirement, he also enjoyed golf, tennis, gardening, furniture refinishing and following a wide variety of sports and world events. After 48 years as part of the Fort Dodge community, the Hartigans moved to Clear Lake in 2002 to be close to their daughter Leigh and to participate in their granddaughters’ activities. Tom remained an attentive and concerned citizen who knew that even the smallest act of kindness could potentially change the world. Tom was revered as a father, grandfather, educator and friend. His silliness and sense of humor, his constant expressions of love and encouragement, and his fascination with nature will be missed deeply by all who knew him.

BUDGET: Continued from Page 1

just for the contractor. Capital improvements will continue as planned, and the city will continue to use its local, grant and casino funding. Also, sewer rates will continue to go up. “The bottom line is that we tried to minimize the impact on the check that the property owner had to write out,” said Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis. “In other words, the goal of the budget was to try not to spend any more money than in the previous year, despite the message of the rate.” State shift Fotiadis said there was another message the public should know. “There’s a desire on the part of the statehouse to shift local property tax burdens away from commercial interests and onto the interests of the private individual homeowners with the notion that this would generate a good economy and encourage more businesses to enter the state.” he said. “And, I guess, all we’re able to do is work within that.” If the public doesn’t like this type of trend, they should address it with their local representatives, Fotiadis said. Councilman Glenn Schaff said he

thought there was more budget “cutting” the council could have done before it went to approval on the agenda. “It seems to me like there’s several alternatives to cutting, and I think we need to take a look at that,” Schaff said. Public comment During the council meeting, a public hearing was held on the FY 2015 budget. Dr. Jim Kimball asked Wheeler to state the city’s total capital expenditures, revenues and property taxes, which Wheeler did. Fotiadis thanked Kimball for taking a vested interest in the city’s budget. “This is probably about the most important document we prepare,” Fotiadis said. Schaff votes no The council approved the budget with Schaff being the only councilman voting no. “The reason I voted no on that, I believe that there’s several places we could cut and save raising any more tax to keep that levy where it was the past four or five years,” Schaff said. “And, I’d like to make the public aware that I’m voting no on that simply because there’s room to be cut.”

to elevate this on the priority list so we can get these things taken care of,” Wheeler said. At a previous council meeting, the city asked officials with Veenstra and Kimm, an engineering services company, to prepare a professional services agreement to address the downtown infrastructure and tie it into the city’s comprehensive plan, including its safe routes to school and city trail system plans. A streetscape design, research and estimates would need to be in place before the city commits to any construction. “So, the bottom line is, this is a lot more complex of a project than just replacing a pole,” said Councilman

Dr. George Fotiadis. “And, the fact is, we’ve now had a couple of poles come down simply because they’re worn out, and not necessarily because anything happened other than just random luck it fell.” Approval The council approved entering a professional services agreement improving the downtown corridor with Veenstra and Kimm. “The caveat with a project like this, because we added it to our urbanrenewal plan, it does open up some different funding avenues that we wouldn’t have with a normal street project,” Wheeler said. “There’s also some local grant opportunities that look promising. So, we might not actually be financing it quite the traditional way.”

Loebsack announces 2014 Congressional high school art competition Congressman Dave Loebsack, DIowa, announced high school students in the Second Congressional District may now submit their original artwork to be considered for the 2014 Congressional Art Competition. The annual competition is hosted by the United States House of Representatives to recognize talented young artists from across the nation. The winning student from each district is invited to Washington, D.C., to attend a reception held in their honor and will have his or her artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. The deadline for artwork to be received is April 11. “Each year I am amazed by the talent of Iowa’s students. The creativity of our talented young artists demonstrates that the arts are thriving in

Iowa,” Loebsack said. “For a young artist, having your artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol is quite a remarkable accomplishment. I look forward to seeing this year’s entries and meeting with the winning student.” This year, to make submission of art work easier and to open the contest to as many students as possible, the winner of the contest will be chosen by the public through online voting. The submission process has also been streamlined. Details on how to submit art work are available by visiting Loebsack’s website. All entries must be submitted no later than Friday, April 11, at 11:59 p.m. For additional details about the competition, students should contact Dave Leshtz at 319351-0789 or by email at david.leshtz@ mail.house.gov.

House, Senate agree to FY 2015 general fund budget targets By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

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

House Republicans announced they had reached agreement with Senate Democrats on the size of the fiscal year 2015 state budget. Next year’s general fund budget will spend $6.9718 billion. The overall budget will spend 99.84 percent of ongoing state revenue. This is just 91.14 percent of the allowed amount under the state’s expenditure limitation law. The agreement also complies with House Republicans four budgeting principles: • We will spend less than the state collects. • We will not use one-time money to fund on-going needs. • We will not balance the budget by intentionally underfunding programs. • We will return unused tax dollars to Iowa’s taxpayers. In addition to reaching agreement on the overall size of the budget, House Republicans and Senate Democrats also agreed to the allocation of funds amongst the seven budget subcommittees. The FY 2015 budget breaks down as

JOEL FRY

follows: • Standing appropriations — $3,259,159,606 • Economic development — $44,331,886 • Justice systems — $728,962,920 • Agriculture and natural resources — $43,061,995 • Health and humans services — $1,858,353,019 • Administration and regulation — $51,795,769 • Education — $986,136,365 Within the budget targets, the state will meet the commitments made by the Legislature and Gov. Branstad in the historic 2013 session. Funding is provided for the 4 percent

increase in supplemental state aid for schools, funds the education reform agreement and implements the commercial property-tax bill. Additionally, the budget provides funding levels to ensure a second year of tuition freezes at Iowa’s three Regents universities. The agreement on joint budget targets between the Republican-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate is a first in recent legislative history. The last time there were joint budget targets between the two chambers was during the 80th General Assembly (2003-04). At that time, both chambers were controlled by Republicans. The joint spending targets have arrived more than two months earlier than the process in 2013. Agreement on the budget was not reached until May 10, with the Legislature adjourning the session on May 23. Please join me at one of my legislative coffees during the course of the 2014 legislative session. Legislative Forum Events • Friday, March 28 Noon – Lakeside Casino in Osceola

Family Health Clinic changes ownership Family Health Clinic, which was started by Ava Eagles in September 2011, has a new owner. Many people have already met Crystal Johnson, ARNP, who has worked for Eagles at the clinic. Johnson assumed ownership of the clinic on Feb. 16, 2014, and will be continuing the quality health care for which Family Health Clinic has been known. Johnson lives in Tingley and worked as a family nurse Johnson practitioner at the Lenox Medical Clinic for the past two years. Her husband, Rich, is a farmer and farms land in Decatur, Ringgold and Clarke counties. They have four adult daughters and five grandchildren. Johnson had been filling in for Eagles at Family Health Clinic and really enjoyed caring for the residents of Decatur and surrounding counties. She is now at Family Health Clinic on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with the goal of increasing days as needed. Johnson graduated from

Graceland University’s MSNFamily Nurse Practitioner program in August 2011, and did her BSN at University of Iowa. She has known Eagles for several years, having been her student when she was in the FNP program. Prior to working at Lenox Medical Clinic, she worked at Mercy Medical Center and has also worked in long-term care. She also taught nursing at Kaplan University and Ellsworth Community College and has served as a preceptor for Upper Iowa University’s BSN program and Clarkson College’s MSNFamily Nurse Practitioner program. “I chose Family Practice because I love working with all ages and the varied areas of healthcare,”Johnson said. “Patient satisfaction is very important to me. I believe that good health outcomes are a result of the collaboration between both the patient and the health care provider. I think of myself as a patient advocate and I believe all should be treated with respect, honesty and compassion. I try to deliver the same kind of care I expect for myself and my family. I want them to know I care.” As many know, Eagles is now known as Ava Chase. She has re-

cently married and relocated to California. She still has a house in Lamoni and comes back into town frequently and will occasionally be working at the clinic to help Johnson. “I have loved working in Lamoni. Even though I did not grow up here, Lamoni has been like a hometown to me,” Eagles said. “I will always have ties to this community as my children grew up here and my daughter is a graduate of Lamoni High School. I also have strong ties to Graceland and continue to teach in the graduate nursing program. I will miss my patients and hope that when I am in town working, they will come see me! I am proud of the clinic and am so excited that Crystal will be carrying on the business. She is very dynamic and is an excellent provider. I would feel completely confident having her as my personal provider. I am also so happy that Dee Rouse, Jan Redman, and Marlys McPherson will continue on at the clinic. I think it will be a very smooth transition.” To contact Johnson or any of the staff at Family Health Clinic, call 784-7526. If you have any questions about the clinic or need to make an appointment, the staff is available Monday through Friday.

Clarke Elementary’s Young Ambassadors Saturday, Feb. 22, marked the beginning of the 12th year for Clarke Elementary’s Young Ambassadors to gather and begin learning the folkloric dances of Mexico. Twenty-six children came from 9 to 11 a.m. to the gym and lined up practicing the various

steps and movements of several complicated dances. Their teacher, Mrs. Hilda Ramos Contreras, has her own dance troupe in Des Moines, but continues to travel to Osceola to help those interested in participating in this Clarke tradition. Each year, the students prac-

tice after school and several Saturdays in order to prepare for their performance for their families and kindergarten through third-graders. This year’s dance presentation will be Friday, May 2, at 2:10 p.m. in the gym at Clarke Community Elementary School.

Murray’s Patton repeats as INA all-stater By LARRY PETERSON OST sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Kate Patton became only the second two-time all-state girls basketball player at Murray High School. The 5-foot-5 senior guard was named to the Iowa Newspaper Association second allstate team Tuesday as a utility player, after making the thirdteam backcourt last year as a junior. The team is selected by a panel of Iowa sportswriters, with assistance from the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association. This year Patton broke the career and single-season scoring records held by the only other two-time Murray all-stater — Kristin (Shields) Flaherty, who held the previous record of 1,248 points set in 2007. Patton set the single-season mark of 429 points while averaging 18.7 for the 20-3 Lady Mustangs. Her career record total is 1,340 points. She also holds the school career steals record of 464 and ranked third in the state this year in that category with 139. She averaged 6.0 steals and 4.3 assists per game.

Nobody in Murray history has made more free throws in one season than Patton’s 130 this year. She shot 65.7 percent from the line this year and 41.8 percent from the field, hitting 15-of-46 from 3-point range for 32.6 percent. Patton also ranks third at Murray in career assists. “I might be a little biased, but I think Kate is the best all-around player in the Bluegrass Conference,” coach Jerry Shields said. “She’s one of the best kids I’ve ever had for seeing the floor. She’s small, but so strong, she could throw a two-hand chest pass to the other end of the floor if she saw somebody open for a layup. She’s a good leader and great in academics, too. It will be tough to replace her.” Patton used her all-around athletic skills to create problems for opponents defensively, and as a floor leader on offense. While also a standout softball and volleyball player, she’s among the state elite in track and field. Patton was runner-up in the Class 1A 100-meter dash last spring, and also placed in the top eight in three other events — 200 meters, 400 meters and long jump. She was

third in the 200 meters, and plans to be a sprinter at Central College next year. Patton was all-conference four years at Murray, leading the Lady Mustangs to a 53-17

record the past three seasons. She has been named to the Class 1A Select Team for the Iowa Girls Coaches Association All-Star Series April 5-6 in Cedar Rapids.

Patton, (Shields) Flaherty and Shawna (Boles) Kelley are the only three 1,000-point scorers in Murray history. Patton scored 30 points in a 63-59 win over Ankeny Christian for the team’s first Bluegrass Conference tournament title since 2007. She had 22 points and 10 steals in a 66-27 win over Lenox Dec. 19 to reach the 1,000-point mark. Teammate Megan Oswald and guards Madison Laib of Ankeny Christian Academy and Brittany Roby of Twin Cedars were other all-state candidates from the Bluegrass Conference. Oswald, a 5-11 senior, averaged 11.2 points and a teamhigh 8.7 rebounds per game for the Lady Mustangs. She was first-team all-conference. Laib, a 5-7 senior, averaged 21.4 points for an 18-5 Ankeny Christian team. Roby averaged 20.2 points for Twin Cedars, which finished 9-13. Bedford’s balanced statetournament team did not have any all-staters this year, but the sophomore-dominated squad showed promise for the future by knocking off Murray and Stanton to reach the 1A quarterfinals, where they lost 73-37 to runner-up

Newell-Fonda. Top candidate for all-state honors from the Lady Bulldogs squad was guard Fallyn Beemer. The 5-6 sophomore averaged 15.2 points with 100 steals and 49 assists while finishing among the state 3-point leaders at 67-of-242.

I-35’s Griglione named to CD’s Linhart earns third INA all-state second team team all-state honors By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

With a record-breaking freshman season, Interstate 35 post player Gracey Griglione burst onto the scene and was named to the Iowa Newspaper Association’s allstate second team in Class 3A as a front line player, announced Tuesday. The INA all-state teams are selected by a panel of Iowa sportswriters, with assistance from the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association. The 6-1 freshman, who was also a unanimous first-team selection in the Pride of Iowa Conference, made a big impact for the Roadrunners this year. As part of a talented freshman group that also included Slye Richardson and Riley Morris, Griglione helped the Roadrunners go from 11-11 overall and 8-8 in the Pride of Iowa Conference last year to 14-8 overall and 12-4 in the conference this year. The Roadrunners entered the last regular season game of the year with a chance to win a share of the conference title. “We were right there and kind of stubbed our toe a couple of times,” Interstate 35 head coach Jamie Smith said. “We had our destiny in our hands as far as winning the conference. I feel the top half of the conference is very strong and will be next year. I think with the experience of the freshmen and Caylin Brommel coming back, we’re

already excited about next year.” It’s easy to see why Smith is excited about next year, with Griglione being part of the nucleus of the team moving forward. The freshman post player had a solid year, averaging 13.7 points per game and 8.7 rebounds per game, which ranked third in the conference behind a pair of freshmen in Nodaway Valley’s Paige McElfish and teammate Morris. But it was on defense where Griglione made her presence known the most. Griglione recorded 140 blocked shots this season, which ranked tops in the state among all classes. That number is a state record in a single season for freshmen and also broke the Interstate 35 career record. Her 140 blocks also ranks as the 21st highest total for a single season in state history. “I think Gracey’s kind of got a natural build for blocking shots,” Smith said. “Good height, long arms and she’s left-handed. That puts her dominant hand in front of a right-handed shooter’s shooting hand. She’s got a knack for it.” One of the biggest keys with Griglione’s shot-blocking skills, Smith said, is that she doesn’t just swat the ball out of bounds. “Forty percent of her blocks we recovered for rebounds,” he said. “That’s not something I’ve taught her. She’s done that on her own.” Griglione twice recorded

double-digit blocks in one game. She became just the second Interstate 35 player to record a triple-double in a game when she scored 15 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked 11 shots in a 5027 win over Wayne on Dec. 13. Having her presence on the inside on defense has allowed the Roadrunners to try some different things on defense. “She makes it easier to do some things defensively you wouldn’t normally do,” Smith said. “We can pressure the ball a little more knowing she’s back there to take away inside stuff.” Griglione, who becomes Interstate 35’s first all-stater since Olivia Sulentic in 2011, has only scratched the surface of what she can accomplish, Smith said. “She’s a gym rat,” he said. “I think she’ll only get better as she matures physically, mentally and emotionally.” Smith said there’s still some things Griglione will have to improve in order to take the step to the next level, but he believes she’ll accomplish that. “There’s no doubt in my mind she will,” he said. “She’s already in the gym as soon as the season is over. A little more physical. She’ll have to get a little stronger. Those are things that can be easily attained. There’s no doubt in my mind that’s something she’ll do.” Clarke senior Libby Bemis was also nominated for the Class 3A all-state teams. Bemis averaged 16.0 points per game to go with a team-high 7.8 rebounds per game. She also shot 70 percent from the free throw line.

After leading her team in every statistical category and ranking in the top 10 in the Pride of Iowa Conference in those statistical categories, Central Decatur junior Hallie Linhart was named to the Iowa Newspaper Association’s all-state third team as a utility player, announced Tuesday. The INA all-state teams are selected by a panel of Iowa sportswriters, with assistance from the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association. Linhart earned the final position on the Class 2A allstate team with her selection as a utility player. The 5-9 Central Decatur junior proved just how important she was to the Cardinals this year by leading the team in every statistical category. She finished the year averaging 17.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game to go with 62 assists, 68 steals and 23 blocked shots. Her scoring averaged ranked second in the Pride of Iowa Conference behind Pleasantville’s Kennedy Core and 16th in Class 2A. To have that big of an impact in all areas of the game speaks to the versatility Linhart brings to the Central Decatur lineup. “That’s her ability to do everything on the floor for us,” Central Decatur head coach Curtis Boothe said. “It’s not like she takes a play off. We were definitely a different team if she was in foul trouble. She made us go when she was in her groove playing. I think that’s why we had the success we had this year.” Central Decatur won the outright POI Conference championship this year and advanced to the regional

semifinals — one step further than the Cardinals made it last year. It’s that versatility along with her competitiveness that makes her a standout athlete on the basketball floor, Boothe said. “She’s so competitive, she doesn’t want to let anything go by her,” Boothe said. “She’s a tremendous athlete. She can jump. She can sprint the floor. She can play inside and outside. I think those are all things that make her a tremendous asset for us.” She’s displayed that competitive fire since her freshman year, when the Cardinals made a big jump in the standings. “Even as a freshman, we had a down year the year before, and she turned us around,” Boothe said. “She was the only change in our lineup and we had 10 more wins. She loves the game and wants to play hard and see what she can achieve.” Linhart has shown an ability to play all five positions on the floor for the Cardinals. This year, boothe took advantage of that versatility and had her play more of a guard position at times. “She’s really come a long way in that she hasn’t had to be a ballhandler and this year we moved her to more of a guard position at times,” Boothe said. “I was worried about if that would wear her down or not. I think it did at times, but she was able to get through that. She brought the ball up the floor for us and ran the offense.” Linhart’s offensive prowess garnered a lot of attention from opposing teams, which opened up shots for her teammates, as well. “She definitely would draw a lot of attention and would have a box-and-one or a triangle-and-two on her and Lydia (Martin),” Boothe

said. “Both of those were able to pull the attention away from our other players. That’s why Kate Havens was able to get some of her shots and why other players were able to get open shots.” And the best news for Boothe — he gets to coach Linhart for one more year. “It’s extremely good to know she’s coming back for one more year,” he said. “We’ve gotten a lot out of her. I think we have some higher goals set for her. I think she’s going to have a good summer’s worth of work and be ready to go for her senior year. “I think it’s going to be a very exciting year for our team,” Boothe continued. “I think we’ll be a different team with a few more players on the floor that can score and hopefully be a little more dynamic than we were this year.”

Simple steps to cut cabinet clutter (BPT) — It’s officially time for spring cleaning. Don’t forget about one area critical to your health and happiness: your medicine cabinet. Step 1: Declutter Go through your cabinet and remove unused and expired items that are taking up valuable space, including makeup, cough syrup and prescription medicine. Once you’ve cleared old and unused items, take the things you use regularly and group similar products together to make it easier to find what you need. Step 2: A fresh start Now, that your medicine cabinet is organized, it’s time to stock up on essentials that you use regularly and

keep you feeling happy and healthy. If you are a denture wearer, this is the perfect time to explore using an adhesive. Step 3: Be prepared When it comes to small things like insect bites, cuts and stubborn coughs, staying organized and anticipating the unexpected is key. At the start of each season, consider what you might need. For example, spring is a good time to stock up on allergy medicine, antiseptic for bug bites and new bottles of sun block. For prescription medications, consider signing up for your pharmacy’s auto-refill program so you never forget an important refill again.

Jus’ Walkin’ For the longest time, I thought that had to be his name. Well, or maybe a nickname of some sort. I ran across him the first time I visited the “projects” (officially called welfare apartments) in downtown St. Louis. “Jus’ walkin’” was his answer to everything, it seemed. “Hey, how’re you doing?” “Jus’ walkin.’” One day I tried something different. “Good morning. Nice day. You out enjoying this fine spring sunshine?” His answer – you guessed it – was “Jus’ walkin.’” Now, I was new in the neighborhood, so I asked an elderly lady I’d become acquainted with about him. “Oh,” she smiled at me, “Him? He’s Jus’ Walkin’” “No ma’am,” I answered, sure she’d misunderstood my question, “I mean to ask, what’s his name?” “Well, preacher girl, I reckon that’s it – Jus’ Walkin.” She paused, somehow knowing me to be the curious type. Her smile got bigger until it became a fun-loving giggle. “Girl, you just watch him sometime. Watch what he does. Don’t be worryin’ none about what he do – or don’t – say. Just be watchin. You have a nice day now.” And she stepped inside her little apartment and shut the door, still smiling and shaking her head. So, I followed her advice. I worked hard to notice what ‘Jus’ Walkin’ was doing. What I learned about him was simply amazing. He walked a lot all right — back and forth to the drug store to pick up prescriptions for homebound folks in the projects apartments. He took a little boy in a wheelchair for long neighborhood walks. He delivered blankets and sandwiches to the homeless folks who squatted behind the apartments at Church Service. LIGHT OF GRACE, 400 E.

night. He walked a scared runaway teenage girl to the police station so she could get a ride home. The list went on. Weeks went by, and my amazement at his ministry grew. One day, I was asked to give a new minister in town a tour of that neighborhood. Sure enough, one of the first people we met was Jus’ Walkin’. After I introduced the two men, and we’d moved on down the street, my companion remarked, “Wow, now HE looks weird. And he doesn’t even know his own name. Are there a lot like him down here?” Now, it was me smiling, me trying hard — unsuccessfully I might add — to suppress a giggle as I replied. “No, my friend, you won’t meet too many like him. Not ‘down here’, not anywhere really. Nope, Jus’ Walkin’ is one of a kind. I think he’s a walking Bible really. Wait till you notice – really notice – what he does. That’ll tell you who he really is.” I wonder how it would be if our vocabulary was suddenly limited to two words. What would happen if others had to describe us based on what we did, how we treated each other, and what we spent our time and energy on? If you had two words to describe yourself, what would they be? If every time you introduced yourself, you had to claim those two words in place of your name, could you? Would you? Jus’ Walkin’ indeed took his faith into his heart and lived it. He was a living example of Jesus’ life instruction: “... step down. Be a servant ... if you’re content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty.” How about us?

Traveling? Check out these tips on how to stay healthy aigrettes. If a sandwich is a must, ditch the bun and skip the fries or chips, opting for a side salad or fresh fruit instead. 4. Check ahead for available health clubs. If you know you’re going out of town for a weekend or longer, look online for a health club in the area. Find out information like location, cost and what equipment is available to use, and ask if they offer short-term or day passes. If you are a member of a health club, such as Life Time, check to see if there are destinations in the city you’re visiting and ask if you can use their location. Even if you’re not a member, Life Time locations across the country of-

ten provide seven-day pass access. No health club? Take advantage of travel tools. A heart rate monitor and pedometer are two simple tools that will fit right inside your carry on. Also, there are many “travel specific” resistance bands which have a door attachment that allows them to be anchored on the wall for additional exercises. Otherwise, go for ultimate packing efficiency by relying on your own body weight for exercises like push-ups, crunches, lunges or squats. 5. Be good at the buffet. Many hotels offer buffetstyle meals included with your stay or for an incredibly good deal. There is no reason to avoid eating at a

buffet, but you do need to be cautious about how you fill your plate. The most inexpensive foods at the buffet are the breads, rolls and other starchy foods so think about getting the most value out of your meal both financially and nutritiously. Eggs, meats, cheese and vegetables will not only keep you from eating as much, they will also keep you full throughout the day. It isn’t always easy to make the right decision when you’re traveling and the variety of pit stop options make it tempting to indulge, but the satisfaction of making healthy and nutritious choices lasts long after vacation is over.
