Why did Iowa Supreme Court side with reservoir landowners? By AMY HANSEN
OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com
On Friday, April 10, Iowa Supreme Court announced they were siding with the landowners in the case of the Clarke County Reservoir Commission’s reservoir project that was to take place in northern Clarke County. The reservoir project has been
worked on by many officials for not just months or years, but for decades. It was supposed to provide a water supply for Osceola and Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) with an 816-acre lake, which could provide 2.2 million gallons of water per day. West Lake, the current water source, doesn’t meet the needs of Clarke County and SIRWA.
Here’s what made the Iowa Supreme Court, the highest jurisdiction in the state of Iowa, side in favor of the landowners, also known as the Edwin D. and Deloris A. Robins Revocable Trust. Documents from Iowa Supreme Court state, “We strictly construe statutes delegating the power of eminent domain and note the absence of a clear legislative authorization for a joint public-private en-
tity to condemn private property.” Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for public use by a state. 2014 district ruling The decision by Iowa Supreme Court overturns a local district ruling that was in favor of CCRC’s right to proceed with the reservoir project. On April 8, 2014, Judge Sherman W. Phipps of the Fifth Judicial Dis-
trict of Iowa ruled CCRC’s ongoing Squaw Creek Watershed project is for a public use, public purpose or public improvement as defined in the Iowa Code. Therefore, CCRC may use the power of declaratory judgment and eminent domain in the reservoir project. Declaratory judgment is Please see SUPREME COURT, Page 4

Savannah treated Clarke County Publishing well during the month of April. Osceola Sentinel-Tribune news editor Amy Hansen and publisher Rich Paulsen attended the Association of Free Community Papers’ (AFCP) conference April 9-11 and came back with some hardware to show for the business’ hard work. Clarke County Publishing’s free paper “The Advertiser” received first place in the conference’s Best of the Best awards for “Grocery — single ad — black and white ad printed on newsprint.” The ad was originally made for Osceola Hy-Vee. “I’m delighted with the first place ad that The Advertiser and Hy-Vee received at the recent AFCP national conference in Savannah, Ga.,” Paulsen said. “To be judged first with hundreds of entries in the ad contest is a real honor. Our staff works on hard on making good looking advertising that is effective for our local merchants.” Rising Star Also during the conference, Hansen was awarded with a plaque for being a second year AFCP Rising Star. She was first inducted into the program in 2014 during an AFCP conference in Orlando, Fla. “I value my experience as a Rising Star very much,” Hansen said. “It has allowed

On more than one occasion, Manuel recommended patients cease taking prescribed medications.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Response to ‘Why we need the reservoir’ By Doug Robins Murray
In response to a letter to the editor in the April 15 edition of the Sentinel “Why we need the reservoir.” In 2006, eminent domain legislation was passed that strengthened Iowa’s property rights law. It was initially vetoed by the governor. The veto was later overridden and added to the Iowa Code. A few weeks later it was discovered that some serious flaws were in that particular legislation that created loopholes for developers to get around some of the eminent domain language. The section called “lakes language” had some serious flaws that needed amended. In 2007, I contacted State Repre-
sentative Jeff Kaufmann, one of the sponsors and authors of the new legislation. Since that time up until 2012, when representative Kaufmann retired, hundreds of hours were spent getting the new legislation written, passed through committees and ran through the House and Senate. In 2012, I began working with Kaufmann’s son Bobby who took over his father’s seat in the house. State Representative Joel Fry did not take office until 2011, four years after I started working with Representative Jeff Kaufmann to strengthen property rights for all Iowans. So give credit where credit is due. I’m guessing very little effort was made to verify the facts before making the accusations toward Representative Fry.
SUPREME COURT: Continued from Page 1
a court review for acquiring land for a public project. It authorizes CCRC to purchase land from voluntary sellers and exercise eminent domain for involuntary sellers within the area of the watershed project. Appeal An appeal from local landowners was filed May 6, 2014, in Clarke County Courthouse on the judge’s ruling in the CCRC court case. However, the CCRC had the power to purchase land during the appeal process. Purchase agreements from local landowners were being worked out in the past couple of months. Iowa Supreme Court set the oral argument for the appeal on eminent domain to be heard Feb. 18, 2015. It takes a period of a few months for the court to issue a judgment. Official documents state when the appeal was filed to the supreme court, “the sole issue raised on appeal was that the district court erred by ruling the commission with private members had eminent domain powers.” CCRC reorganization According to court records, in an attempt to correct this potential error, CCRC showed that Clarke
House moves to fight income tax-related identity theft By Rep. Joel Fry
The Fry Times
House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us
Most people today associate April 15 with filing their income tax returns. But a growing number of Americans are associating this process with becoming a victim of identity theft. The House has put forth an aggressive proposal to help Iowans fight back. While many people think identity theft only happens when a person’s credit card information is stolen for a major retailer like Target and Home Depot. Income-tax related identity theft is becoming a major issue throughout the country. What happens with income-tax related identity theft is that a criminal steals an individual’s personal information and uses it to file a fraudulent tax return. The fraud is often not discovered until the actual person goes to file their tax return and they are not paid their refund. Correcting this situation is not easy or cheap. The IRS reported in 2013 that the average amount of time for a victim of identity theft to get their income tax refund was 312 days. For the fifth consecutive year, income-tax related identity theft was the leading identity theft complaint received by the Federal Trade Commission in 2014. And the problem is only growing. In an email to University of Iowa employees, UI Public Security reported that states are seeing incidents of income tax-related identity theft rising between 50 and 3,700 percent this tax year. Why would
County Conservation Board, Clarke County Development Corporation and Clarke County Soil and Water Conservation District had withdrawn as members of the commission. The Robins Trust resisted the motion to dismiss the appeal on legal grounds, but didn’t dispute the fact the CCRC no longer included any private members. However, Iowa Supreme Court retained the appeal and moved forward in the legal process. Court records state, “We hold a 28E commission with members lacking the power of eminent domain cannot itself exercise the power of eminent domain or serve as an acquiring agency seeking a declaratory judgment under section 6A.24(2). We determine the post judgment withdrawal of the private members did not render this appeal moot because the district court erred by entering judgment in favor of an improper acquiring agency. We therefore reverse the district court’s declaratory judgment that the commission, as then constituted, was a proper acquiring agency and remand the case for further proceedings.” All Iowa Supreme Court justices concurred on the case, except one Continued from Page 1 who dissented — Justice Wiggins.

UI Public Security put out a statement? Because nearly 400 employees of Iowa’s state universities have reported being a victim this year. A number of states have taken steps to fight income tax-related identity theft. Indiana implemented an identity verification system in 2014, which has hired LexisNexis to use their database to verify the identities of tax filers. Those that have issues are sent a letter by the state, asking them to take a short online quiz to verify their identity. Once a tax filer has completed the survey, their return is processed. The new process identified nearly 78,000 returns filed with stolen or manufactured identities, seeking refunds of over $88 million. The number of fraudulent returns amounted to 11 percent of the total number of returns filed in the state. In the previous year without the verification process, the Indiana Dept. of Revenue found just 1,500 cases. Indiana is not alone is taking aggressive steps to fight identity theft via income tax filings.
The state of New York has implemented its own verification system. In 2013, their Department of Taxation and Finance stopped 255,000 fraudulent or erroneous refunds that would have totaled $413 million. Through April of 2014, New York had already prevented the payout of $287 million in fraudulent refunds. Ohio started verifying identities this year, after discovering that 58,000 fraudulent returns were filed in a six month period of 2014, claiming $257 million. During the same period in 2013, Ohio found just 10,000 fraudulent returns claiming just $8 million. And even the much maligned Internal Revenue Service has begun sending out letters to verify people’s identity this tax season. House Study Bill 237 would have Iowa join these states in being proactive in verifying identities and preventing identity theft. The bill would require the Department of Revenue to establish a process to verify identities of those people filing Iowa income tax returns before Iowans start filing their income tax returns in 2016. The department would also implement procedures to prevent income tax returns from being filed via foreign internet service providers. These provisions are just one part of the bill, which also implements identity verification systems for unemployment compensation claims and Medicaid. At a time when Iowans are under a growing threat of identity theft, it would be inexcusable for legislators and state agencies to not do everything to protect citizens from this devastating crime.

AFCP is providing the Rising Stars tools we can use in the future of our careers.” Silent auction success This year, the Rising Stars debuted a new event for the conference — a silent auction. It was something they planned and organized themselves.
Funding from the silent auction will go back to aid Rising Stars conference scholarships. “I was so proud the Rising Stars’ silent auction made more than $5,000 in its first year ever,” Hansen said. “I was involved in the process from its inception to its final touches and thought the team effort really helped toward its success. It showed what the Rising Stars can do as a group when we put our heads together. This is just one reason why I love attending the AFCP annual conference.”

Relay For Life of Clarke County needs your help
Hunt card shower planned
Relay For Life of Clarke County needs the community’s help. “Right now, we have only three teams registered,” said organizer Karen Irwin. “We’d really like to have 15.” The world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with an opportunity to fight back against the disease. Relay For Life brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups — people from all walks of life — all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s vision of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays. And in Clarke county, it’s no different. “Everyone knows someone dealing with cancer,” Irwin said. “This event is a

way to raise money to help bring those fights to an end.” This year’s Relay will be held at the high school track in Osceola from 6 p.m. to midnight beginning with opening ceremonies and the survivor’s lap immediately following. The Relay For Life of Clarke County has only three teams and seven participants signed up for the June 12 event in Osceola. But, that’s not enough. The relay needs everyone in the area to participate. People can walk in the relay, help raise funds or help with planning and leadership. People can make a donation or register, from the comfort of their own home at www.relayforlife.org/ clarkecountyia. Businesses can be involved by being a sponsor and/or having a business team. People can also come to the relay at the high school track to support or cheer on the participants. Remember to hang out
Leland Hunt
until evening to see the luminaria ceremony, where luminaria bags are illuminated and personalized with names, photos, messages and drawings in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected by cancer. There will be food available for sale in the concession stand as well as children’s games and a bounce house. The main thing here is to get involved, in a big way or a small way. It is likely few
people don’t know anyone who has been affected by cancer. Now is the time to do something about it. As an added incentive, all relay participants who are registered will have an opportunity to win prizes, including a 40-inch color television donated by Walmart and a “staycation” package from Lakeside Casino. To learn how to register yourself or a team contact Karen at 641-572-0100 or kirwinmin@aol.com.
Community Make a Difference Day planned On Saturday, May 9, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., people have the opportunity to join with others in the community to make a strong and amazing difference in the lives of many of their friends and neighbors. There will be a collection items for the local food pantries and pairs of all kinds of shoes (new, old, and everything in between) for a local and international group that helps lift families and communities out of poverty by providing them with support and materials (the donated shoes to recycle and sell) which enable them to support themselves. Here are some ways you can help make that difference: 1. Print copies of the
event flyer (color, 2/page). The flyer can be sent electronically or in paper form. Fliers will be given out at grocery stores and some local businesses. 2. Give out flyers at local business or where an individual works. Flyers can be inserted in shopping bags, handed out or placed on counters/tables for customers to take. 3. Collect items ahead of the event date. Ideas include placing a labeled collection box or bin in a prominent place and encouraging donations. 4. Send one or more teams (2-4 people per team) on event day. Teams will be assigned street(s) to canvas (go door to door) collecting items. Sending
a team enters a business/ group/family in the collection competition. There will be prizes. All items count toward the total – those collected ahead of time plus those collected on event day as people canvas their assigned street(s). 5. Donate prize(s) for the collection competition. 6. Help at “event HQ.” Help is needed sending teams out and counting items as teams return from assigned collection routes. Event HQ will be at the Osceola Fareway. Examples of needed items include: Canned food of all kinds (fruits, veggies, main dishes, beans, soups) Boxed foods (hot or cold cereals, noodles, rice, jello/
puddings) Bagged foods (beans, rice) Cleaning products (laundry, dish, all purpose, etc) Toiletries (deodorants, soap/body wash, shampoo/ conditioner, lotions, shaving products, feminine products) Paper products (toilet paper, facial tissues, napkins, paper towels) First aid products (band aids, q-tips) Pairs of shoes (any style – flip flops, boots, cleats, slippers) Miscellaneous items (what do you need in your household? Others probably need it, too) For more info, call Jeff at Fareway (641-342-3884) or Dr. Al (641-931-0567).

We all have a propensity to bargain and negotiate and try to make deals with God. We’ve said things like this: “God, if you will do this, I promise I’ll always do that.” Right? And here’s what I know about you — and you’re not going to like it. We don’t keep our end of the deal, do we? You negotiated with God and it worked out in your favor and what did you do? You said, “Well, I really was lucky.” Whatever your deal was with God, it worked out, and you baled out. There are two big assumptions in trying to do a deal with God. First, we assume God knows we exist. If you’ve ever negotiated with God, you have way more faith than you think you do, because if you’ve ever tried to negotiate with God, you believe that God knows you exist. Second, we believe that we have something God wants. But here’s the thing that separates Christianity from any other faith system. God doesn’t want something from you. God wants something FOR you. God doesn’t negotiate, because He doesn’t want something from you. God wants something FOR you, and that’s a huge difference. That’s the reason there’s no point in bargaining with God. I don’t want this to sound nasty, but the fact is, you and I don’t have anything God needs. We don’t even have anything God wants. God is God. Have you ever though about that? And in the Christian faith, the word that encapsulates that whole big idea, or that sort of summarizes all that, is this word right here, the word: Grace. Most of us have experienced grace at some point in life. You were $2 short on your food order, so the lady reached into her own pocket and handed you $2, and then you handed those $2 back to her, and she stuck in the cash register, and she doesn’t even know you, that’s grace. But this idea of grace that shows up every once in a while in the human experience, is at the epicenter of Christianity. Grace drives everything as it relates to following Jesus. School.

Here’s a really simple, but really accurate definition of grace: Unmerited favor. Unmerited means that you and I did nothing to deserve it. It’s unconditional. It means we’re getting something for nothing; that if there’s any cost to be borne, it’s borne by the person that’s dispensing to me the grace that I don’t deserve, but in many cases, the grace that I need. Grace is the thing that sets God apart from the gods of all the other religions. Grace. Unmerited, undeserved favor. It’s God saying, “I’m gonna do this just because I want to. I’m not leveraging your character, I’m leveraging mine. I’m not digging down and looking for something good in you, I’m digging down and I’m looking for something good in me. It’s because of who I am, not because of who you are that I’m gonna do something for you.” That’s grace. Grace answers questions like, “God, why do You care? God, why would You listen to my prayers? God, why would You give me a second chance? God, why would You even pay any attention to me?” To which God says, “It has nothing to do with you.” The answer is because of His great love with which He loved us. We find favor with God, not because of our behavior. Our behavior will never be good enough for God. We find favor because of God’s grace. People ask the question, “Is it really that easy? Is it really that simple? All I have to do is transfer trust from me to God, and by His grace, He’ll forgive me?” So here’s my question to you, “Why would God make this hard? If He loves us, why would He make it difficult?” And the answer is, He wouldn’t. And He didn’t. He wants us to be in a relationship with Him. That’s why He extends grace, and He invites you and me to reach out and receive that grace and forgiveness as His gift to us. MEDORA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, Keith Putney, pastor, 641-449-3544.

FEEHAN: Continued from Page 1
second grade. Feehan was offered a mid-year position with Headstart in Osceola as a maternity substitute. She ended up staying with Headstart for almost 10 years. “They (Murray) got word from the state of Iowa that they were going to get some money and they wanted to open a second classroom,” Feehan said. “So, that kind of offered a nice opportunity for me to stay local and stay with preschool, which I found I really like, probably better than I would’ve kindergarten, even.” Feehan has been with the Murray School District for six to seven years. Fun with learning “I like that we’re preschool, we can still choose some of the things that we do, which is kind of hard,” she said. “With the school district, there’s so much being told they have to do from the state level or from the national level. With
preschool, we have things that we have to follow that are developmentally appropriate, but we can also choose to be a play-based preschool, to be child-led. We don’t do a lot of sitting down and working on papers so much, we do a lot of hands-on, full-body play. And, I love that I can make that choice for the kids I work with.” Since Feehan also works with special needs students, she said in some ways it can be more challenging, but in other ways, “they’re still just kids.” “Whether they’re special ed or gen(eral) ed, they’re still just kids,” she said. “Sometimes it’s hard for them to understand, why does this child do this differently? But, you can explain, well, everyone’s different and we each have our own skills. And, they get it, probably more than adults do sometimes.” Jan Brett Earlier this winter, Feehan’s fellow preschool
teacher Gerry Gilbert was in Des Moines and saw that acclaimed children’s author Jan Brett was going to be in Des Moines the next day at a bookstore. Gilbert texted Feehan the news about Brett being in the area. “I was like, ‘Wow, I don’t have anything special going on. I may just run up and see if I can meet her.’” According to Brett’s website, she has more than 39 million books in print and is one of the nation’s foremost author illustrators of children’s books. Brett lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts, close to where she grew up. Feehan went to Brett’s presentation during the bookstore visit in Des Moines and purchased a few of her books for her classroom. At that visit, Brett’s bus was decorated artwork with her new book, and Feehan was told if she posted a picture of it online, she would get a free poster. However,
if a picture got the most online votes, the winner would get 10 hardcover books signed by Brett. Helpful response Feehan shared the link on social media, and one could say, it went viral. “Between my friends and family, and our parents’ friends and family of the preschool kids, I ended up with, like, 200 more votes than the second place. So, we got the books,” Feehan said. Feehan said it felt amazing to have so many people help support the preschool’s cause of getting more books for its students. “We have a great group of parents, especially this year, who have been very supportive of, basically, anything we need or want from them,” she said. “They have been able to help us out.” Murray Superintendent Alan Miller said he was appreciative of his staff’s extra efforts for incorporating new learning tools in the
preschool classroom. “They’ve taken time away from their own lives to benefit the students and incorporate it into the curriculum,” he said. Into the classroom Once the books arrived, Feehan took the box of delivered books and showed it to her students, who didn’t realize what was in it. One child guessed a coyote was in the box. Other children thought the box was full of blocks. A few did guess books. The children decided to open the box, and realized if scissors can open their daytime snacks, they can open a big delivery box. “It took a good 10 minutes to get into that box that was already beat up and had a hole in it with it came,” Feehan said. “They were very excited to find the bubble wrap that came out first. But, then the books came out, and they were like, ‘Oh, we got books, too!’ It was fun. It was fun having them become own-
ers of that experience and take over the ownership of receiving that package and getting into it. I think that will make the books that much more exciting, too, because they can tie that other experience into it.” At the time of the interview, the books had been delivered only the day before, so the children hadn’t had much time to read the books. Lesson plans During that time, Feehan’s class was doing a study on snow and ice, which was multi-week lesson. The delivery of Brett’s books was good timing because three of them involved snow or ice. Feehan said many of Brett’s books tie-in really well to her lesson plans or learning new things. “We find that kids pick up on more things if you read a book more than once,” she said. “Also, she (Brett) is an illustrator, so the books, the illustrations are awesome.”
