City Council rejects animal control ordinance amendment, looks into agricultural zoning By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

If you change it, they will come. A potential amendment to an animal ordinance created a completely packed room during an Osceola City Council meeting Tuesday, May 5. A public hearing was held on a proposed amendment to an ordinance titled “animal control.” The existing ordinance about

livestock reads, “It is unlawful for a person to keep livestock within the city except by written consent of the city council.” The proposed amendment was to add “upon the sale or transfer of property, it shall be unlawful for the new owners to maintain the right of possessing livestock on property contained within the city.” Why the amendment? For many years, the city has dealt with the issue of livestock within

the city limits, including requests for urban chickens. Recently, there was an issue with a property that was being sold where, years ago, the council had approved the request for horses on the property to the original owner. However, that allowance for horses wouldn’t transfer to the new owner. At previous meetings, the council realized this could be a problem that could come up a lot in the future and were trying to find a solu-

tion for it. Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, discussed concerns he had heard from a local cattle farmer. “When he’s Wheeler looking at acquiring that property from his dad …. in the distant future, he’s worried what would happen if the council dug in as the ordinance is written

and amended now, saying no more livestock, then he’d have a fairly significant portion of that property no longer able to be used for the cattle operation,” Wheeler said. Ag zoning Wheeler also discussed the potential of creating agriculture zoning within the city. “Thereby, (it’s) exempting them from this ordinance, which would Please see ORDINANCE, Page 4

Teacher spotlight Gilbert promotes preschool’s NAEYC accreditation, QRS ranking By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Editor’s note: This was a story originally run the Creston News Advertiser’s March Progress issues and requested to run in the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune. MURRAY — Murray preschool teacher Gerry Gilbert and the school district’s preschool program has a lot to be proud of — their hard work is getting noticed. The program is accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). “It’s a very in-depth evaluation,” Gilbert said. “We have portfolios that have several hundred entries in them. They come in from Washington, D.C., and they observe us. They go through

all of our paperwork. They make sure we’re doing all the right things. We have just recently received notification that we’ve been reaccredited through that.” For more than 25 years, families have relied on NAEYC Accreditation to ensure the quality of education and care provided in programs for young children. High-quality programs provide a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the development of young children. Gilbert’s background Gilbert has a vested interest in the high-quality of Murray’s educational system. “I’ve been at Murray forever. I went to school here, graduated in 1970, like a 100 years ago,” she said with a laugh. “I raised my family,

my husband and I have five kids. We raised our kids, and then I went to college and got my degree after having taught Headstart for several years. I decided I wanted to get a full degree, and preschool has always been kind of special. I love little kids.” During the regular school year, Murray preschool is an all-day program, Monday through Thursday. The average age of a preschooler is four or five, but the age of children with special needs can vary. “They’re like little sponges. Every day is new and different. You just see them grow constantly,” Gilbert said. Gilbert can have up to 20 students in her class. Stacey Feehan, Murray’s other

CROSS region working to decrease gaps in mental health services Mental health services in Iowa continue to change. As the state has mandated a shift from county-based services to that of regions, closing of state mental health institutions, and the need for mental health services continuing to rise, rural partners in the counties are left trying to put better systems in place. County Rural Offices of Social Services (CROSS) was formed through Iowa Code 28E between Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Monroe, Ringgold and Wayne counties as required by Iowa Code 331.390. The region has created and received approval of a management plan designed to improve health, hope and successful outcomes for adults who reside in these counties who have mental health disabilities and intellectual/developmental disabilities, including those with complex need. As part of the new state requirements, a community health needs assessment was conducted by Iowa State University Extension. Extension conducted surveys and interviews with community partners, as well as individuals receiving mental health

services. Data will be utilized to help the CROSS governing board meet state requirements regarding access standards, evidence-based practices, and provision of other required services. Tentative plans include mental health awareness trainings, partnership with Lifelong Links, 24-hour crisis line, tele-psychiatry for interested local hospital emergency rooms and law enforcement centers, and exploration of mid-level treatment more intensive than outpatient but less intensive than inpatient hospital care. A presentation of ISU Extension findings and the initial strategic planning session will be held on Wednesday, May 20, in Osceola at the courthouse conference room from 1 to 4 p.m. Contact your local CROSS office for more information.

She met George Emert Clifton, the son of a local farmer, and they married on Jan. 25, 1934. They had three children; George Jr. (Jack), Beverley, and Barbara.

Gerald and Mary have the distinction of being the longest married couple in their church after celebrating their sixty-eighth wedding anniversary.

Ronald VanDyne Osceola

Ronald Junior VanDyne, 74 of Osceola, Iowa w e n t home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May VanDyne 5, 2015 surrounded by his loving family and a very special friend, Valena Spragg. The son of Ira and Florence (Smith) VanDyne, Ronald Junior VanDyne, was born on July 27th, 1940 in Powersville, MO. The family moved later to a farm near Seymour, Iowa where Ron attended country school for some time. He then attended Seymour schools, and later Wayne Community High School where he graduated in 1958.

ond husband George Baird preceded her in death as did her daughter Beverley Grandfield, granddaughter Nancy Clifton, and grandson-in-law Terry Loy. She has 24 great grandchildren and 16 great great grandchildren. She was a tremendously disciplined woman. She loved pretty clothes and shoes, was extremely proud of the fact that she didnâ€™t take â€œany pills.â€? Our family can take pride in her and her ancestry, we are descendant of a signor of â€œThe Mayflower Compact.â€? Edie was a woman that knew all about hard work. She got her first washing machine in 1940 or 1941 two or three years after her children were out of (cloth) diapers. She hauled water a quarter of a mile for all the household needs; which required putting several 10 gallon milk cans in the car or in the horse drawn wagon every other day, pumping 30 or 40 gallons of water to fill the can, unloading the can when back at the house. These cans would weigh upwards of 100 pounds each. She tended a kitchen

garden, a potato patch and many, many rows of sweet corn. In doing so was able to harvest enough vegetables for summer meals and for canning enough food for the long, long winter. She had no refrigerator nor freezer so everything was packed in â€œMason jars,â€? and sealed by processing them in boiling water for 2 or 3 hours. A very hot job on an equally hot summer day. All vegetables and meat were canned. She was not much different than all the other depression and war time women, but she was a gentle mother, a hard task master when it came to school work and social events, and strong help mate to a young farmer. The ten years following the war brought some changes except for the long hours of hard work. Rural Iowa was electrified by the late 1940s. It was 1956 before she had the luxuries of hot and cold running water and complete indoor plumbing, but the roads were still unpaved. Then in 1957 after all the children had married and started on their way Edie and Emert

made a really big change. They sold their farm and everything related to farming and moved to San Diego, California. For the next 23 years Edie cared for a hard working husband. Emert passed away in 1980 leaving Edie with very few assets other than for a willingness to work hard. The one thing she really knew how to do was to take care of people. That was just what she did for the next 25 years. By 2009 her long years of hard work had taken its toll. She had ever increasing needs related to the level of dementia. By September 2010 she left California and moved into a nursing home in Duncanville, TX where she passed away on January 19, 2015 at the age of 99 years, 2 months, and 30 days. Graveside services and interment will be 11:00AMÂ Saturday,Â May 23, 2015, in the Lorimor Cementery, Lorimor, Iowa. Following the interment services the ladies of the Lorimor Methodist Church will provide the attendees with a light lunch.

Soon after their marriage, Gerald and Mary purchased a farm east of Osceola where they have lived, worked and raised their family for sixty-seven years. Gerald was a devoted member of St. Bernard Catholic Church in Osceola where he served in many capacities including one of the founding members of the St. Bernard Knights of Columbus Council #8702. He also served his community as a 4-H Leader with the Osceola Go Getters, was one of the original members of the Clarke County Rural Water District #1; served several years on the Clarke Community School Board; the Clarke Community and Central Decatur Booster Clubs and was very instrumental in helping to raise funds for the lighting on the Osceola Little League and High School baseball fields. Down time for Gerald included his flower and vegetable gardens, square-dancing with the Doceola Square Dance Club in earlier years, watching the Cubs as well as other sports and following his children and grandchildren and their many

activities over the years. He also enjoyed playing Pitch and even considered himself a pretty good selftaught cook. Those relatives who preceded Gerald in death were his parents; sisters, Marie Diehl, Irene Young, Mildred Morris; brother, George Pedersen, sisterin-law, Elizabeth Pedersen, brothers-in-law, Richard Young, Bernard Paul Diehl, Harold Morris, Forrest Bear; brother and sister-inlaws, Bud and Bernadine Burley, Elma and Paul German; granddaughter, Kylee Pedersen.

The couple later divorced and Ron met a friend who became his life long companion and friend: Valena Spragg. Valena and Ron spent the last fourteen years of his life enjoying many recreational activities together. You could find them walking the halls of the Osceola Hospital every morning where they wore a path on the carpet doing their laps. In the evenings you could be sure to find them at a country jam session, very rarely did they miss one. And they danced and made many new friends.

allow those uses to continue and allow a sale to happen unencumbered by the no livestock ordinance,” he said. Agricultural zoning would have to go back to the city’s planning and zoning committee, and then go back before the city council for official approval. However, many property owners who attended the meeting had concerns about needing a guarantee their land would be officially rezoned as agricultural. “If we send this back down to planning and zoning, I would think, if you have property that you’re interested in getting that rezoned into agriculture, petition them, I don’t think you’re going to have any problems,” said Councilman Dennis Page. At this point in the public hearing, a lot of time was spent discussing size of acreages, land assessments, city annexations from the late 1980s, types of livestock and various other issues. Working out the problems Approximately 45 minutes later,

the council proposed to direct city staff to evaluate or assess the agricultural property situation in town, specifically how it is zoned and how many areas have such permitted uses. It should come back to the council as a report. That directive was approved by the council. “Rezoning is a very public process, in current practice. Everybody gets notified in writing. That will occur,” Wheeler said. Councilman Chris Dorsey also made a suggestion about the ordinance amendment with needing to “kill that for the moment.” The city approved rejecting the first reading of the “animal control” amendment. “If the perception that it’s still there as written, it might behoove (us),” Dorsey said. “Then, we can come back and address it. It’s going to be rewritten, but there’s part of me that says let’s just get rid of it, eliminate it … tear it up. And then, as we move through the process, we’ll have to do it again.”

preschool teacher, can have 12 students in her room, because the room size is smaller and she works with special education students. Gilbert said the preschool teachers teach just about everything in preschool. “We really work a lot on self-help skills,” she said. “Academically, they’re exposed a lot to colors and numbers and writing their names, and recognizing things. Our main focus is self-help skills and play. We do a lot of play. The kids get so much out of that. There’s more learning that goes on with play than people ever realize.” Program standards NAEYC-Accredited programs, which includes Murray, show their educational quality by meeting the “10 NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards,” which are based on the latest research on the education and development of young children. All NAEYC-Accredited programs must: • Promote positive relationships for all children and adults to encourage each child’s sense of individual worth • Implement a curriculum that fosters all areas of child development — cognitive, emotional, language, physical and social • Use developmentally, culturally and linguistically appropriate and effective teaching approaches • Provide ongoing assessments of a child’s learning and development and communicate the child’s progress to the family. • Promote the nutrition and health of children and protect children and staff from illness and injury • Employ and support a teaching staff that has the educational qualifications, knowledge and professional commitment necessary to promote children’s learning and development and to support families’ diverse interests and needs • Establish and maintain collaborative relationships with each child’s family • Establish relationships and use the resources of the community to support achievement of program goals • Provide a safe and healthy physical environment • Implement strong personnel, fiscal and program management policies so that all children, families and staff have high-quality experiences NAEYC Accreditation is award-

ed for five years. During that period, programs submit annual reports documenting they maintain compliance with the NAEYC program standards. All NAEYC-Accredited programs are also subject to unannounced visits by skilled and reliable NAEYC program assessors to ensure they continue to meet the standards. To verify a program’s accreditation, go to www. naeyc.org. The accreditation is something important to promote to the south central Iowa community. “We kind of have our own following, I guess you would say,” Gilbert said. “We’re usually pretty full. We have several people that open enroll from other school districts and bring their kids over. We were real fortunate this year, the trolley started running from Osceola, so we have kids that ride that.” QRS Gilbert said the Murray preschool program also has another exciting thing to promote. The state of Iowa has QRS, which stands for “Quality Rating System.” It is similar to a fivestar hotel rating. “We were the very first and only school to get it the first year it was available. It’s renewable every two years. Since we keep that up, we’re always one up on everybody else in the state,” Gilbert said with a laugh. “We’re ready to redo that one again this year.” Murray Superintendent Alan Miller said he is proud of the hard work his staff has put in with their dedication and commitment. “It’s easier to get a three star or a four star, but our staff doesn’t settle for that,” Miller said. “There’s a lot of work and time that goes into our fivestar rating. It’s a positive direction for our district.” Hard work pays off Gilbert said the NAEYC accreditation means Murray has a high-quality program available for students and families. “We’re doing the right things, that we’re child-led, developmentally appropriate,” she said. “It’s just kind of nice somebody’s checking over and making sure you’re doing all the right things.” According to Gilbert, the Murray School District is a unique entity in itself. “The fact that it’s a small school, everybody knows everyone and kind of helps out,” she said.

House passes first time homebuyer incentives By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

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

Recently, the House passed House File 631 by a vote of 91-7. The bill establishes a new chapter in Iowa Code entitled the Iowa First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account Act and is an effort to try to incentivize young people to save and plan for the single biggest purchase of their life — their first home. Specifically, the bill provides for the establishment of a first-time homebuyer savings account. The account holder must be a resident of Iowa. An account can be established individually or jointly with a spouse so long as both individuals are first-time homebuyers. The bill requires that the account be an interest-bearing account. House File 631 also spells out the use and administration by the account holder. It states the account holder shall use the money for eligible costs related to the purchase of a residence within 10 years following establishment of the account and shall not contribute to the account for longer than 10 years. There is no limitation on the amount of contributions that may be made to or retained in the account. The burden of

JOEL FRY

proving that a withdrawal from an account was made for eligible costs is upon the account holder. The bill also provides that a person who knowingly prepares false statements associated with an account is guilty of a serious misdemeanor. Additionally, the bill provides for an Iowa income tax deduction of up to $3,000/year per individual ($6,000 for married couples) for contributions to that individual’s first-time homebuyer savings account. Amounts exceeding that limit can be carried forward for deductions in subsequent tax years (but still keeping the annual deduction limitations). No deductions can be taken after

the 10 year life span of an account has expired. (Maximum deduction for an account is $30,000/$60,000). As another tax incentive, House File 631 also provides that the income from interest and earnings on a first-time homebuyer savings account is exempt from income tax. Finally, the bill spells out some penalties. For instance, if a withdrawal is made for a purpose other than an eligible cost, an account holder will have to add all of the tax deductions they previously took back into their taxable income. Additionally, if a withdrawal for a purpose other than an eligible cost is made on a day other than the last business day of the calendar year — such a withdrawal shall also be assessed a penalty of 10 percent of the amount of the withdrawal. The House continues to look for ways to encourage young people put down roots in Iowa. Buying a home is a huge purchase — one that takes careful planning and considerable saving. With the tax incentives in House File 631, House Republicans hope that more young people will make Iowa their permanent home. The bill now moves to the Senate for further consideration.

Surf’s up! By the Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

Vacation — finally! In that place between being asleep and awake, Brad felt the cool ocean breeze wash across the bed. Ahhh. Light crept into his hotel room as excited voices filtered through the balcony screen doors. “Surf’s up!” He heard the excited voice followed quickly by the sound of slamming doors, running feet, and a few loud shouts of “Whoo-hoo!” This was Brad’s dream vacation of a lifetime — two weeks of beach, sun and surfing — courtesy of his Uncle Aaron. Two weeks to learn how to surf, perfect his tan and get that perfect “surfer dude” look he wanted to take to college next month. Brad jumped out of bed, yanked his shorts on and headed for the bathroom. He looked back briefly as the “Surfing 4 Dummies” book he’d bought at the airport crashed to the floor. Three minutes later, he was locking his hotel room door and heading for the beach. “Surfing Lessons Here!” Brad saw the sign and headed straight for the little beach shack with the neat rows of surf boards lined up outside. Great! As he hurried across the sand, he fished the ‘free lesson’ coupon out of his pocket. “Hey, I heard the surf’s up!” Brad began as he got the attention of the guy sitting on the porch waxing a surf board. The hand rubbing wax into the board stopped — for a second. Looking up into Brad’s excited, expectant face, he smiled — and returned to his waxing. “Been surfing before?” At Brad’s blank look, he shook his head — and kept waxing. “Name’s Mike. ‘Round here, we read the surf before we ride it. Read, then ride. That’s the rule. Know how to read?” Oh boy. Disappointment threatened to ruin the day’s great start. Mike looked up at Brad again. He’d seen the look on these vacationers — a lot. “Hey, you seem like a smart guy. Bet you did some listening and learning before you got behind the wheel to drive, right?” Where was this going? Brad was really wondering about this guy now. Maybe if I humor him, he’ll rent me a board, and I School. Wednesday - 7:30 p.m. Elders & Deacons meeting.

can get surfing. “OK, here’s how it is. You take this board. You see a wave. You jump in. You swim out. You try to ride it. You drown — or worse — see those rocks down the beach? You meet them, up close and personal. So, Brad, is it? Well, Brad, smart guys read, then ride. Want some reading lessons?” James 1: 5 tells us, “If you need wisdom — if you want to know what God wants you to do — ask him, and he will gladly tell you.” Ask. Listen. then act. It’s the spiritual equal to Mike the surfing instructor’s rule of “read, then ride.” So many times in life we act, then wonder where God is. Like Brad, we’re so ready to get going that we don’t stop to look where we’re headed. James 1:6 says to us, “But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.” Soon we too may find ourselves either drowning or on the rocks. Mike’s warning is echoed in this Scripture. Surfers learn to watch and “read” the waves and currents before they decide what to do. Many times we decide what we’re going to do, then we ask God to go along and make it happen. Scripture tells us we’ve got it backwards — we too should read, then ride — ask and listen to God, then act. Each day when we get up, life calls out “Surf’s up” to us in many different ways. Will we simply jump in (remember drowning and big rocks)? Or will we take time to be with God first, in prayer-conversation, asking and listening for guidance? If we’ll just take the time to be truly attentive to our God-relationship, God will indeed give, as this Scripture says, “generously and ungrudgingly” to us. In God’s presence and with His guidance, we will truly “surf” through life surrounded by God’s grace and power.

The Clarke boys finished fifth and the Clarke girls sixth here May 7 at the South Central Conference Meet. The Clarke boys scored 46 points, as Albia won the conference championship with 156 points. In the girls competition, Davis County scored 147 points to win, while Clarke scored 67 points in sixth. Clarke senior Gordon Witt won the conference title in the high jump competition, clearing 6-4. He bested the Witt rest of the field by 6 inches. Junior Rich Wilkins finished fifth with a clearance of 5-6.
