Council accepts Schaff’s resignation, schedules special election

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Come August, there’s going to be another important election for the citizens of Osceola.

During a May 20 Osceola City Council meeting, the council approved Councilman Glenn Schaff’s resignation. The council made the decision to recognize Schaff’s contribution to the city at the next council meeting.

There are two ways a city council can fill a vacancy — by appointing someone to fill Schaff’s at-large seat or scheduling a special Schaff election.

The council scheduled a special election date of Tuesday, Aug. 5.

Candidate petitions must be in by July 11.

Once elected, the new at-large council member would hold the seat through the remainder of Schaff’s term, which is through December 2017.

Schaff had won re-election for the at-large council seat in the November 2013 election.

Fotiadis’ thoughts Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis went through all of the other councilmen and asked if they were all still in their first term on the council. Every answer was yes.

“This is a watershed council, that, in other words, this is a big change of council (with) majority first term. I’m the only leftover with Mr. Schaff’s resignation,” Fotiadis said. “My thought on it is this is an important council because there are a lot of things that are just coming to head as far as the growth and development of the town … there’s a lot of stuff going on. Some of this will have fallout that will get into those next terms.”

Fotiadis added, the council seat is too important of a decision, which is why it needs to be made through a special election and not through an appointment to the seat.

“This is a council that’s going to make a difference. It’s going to be, probably, I would say one of the direction setter,” he said. “My preference is that, I think, this one Please see SCHAFF, Page 4

Heston to compete at Today’s American Woman pageant

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

For Michelle Heston of rural Woodburn, pageants are more than just about winning crowns, it’s about winning people’s hearts.

Heston’s new title is Iowa’s Classy Today’s American Woman, and she will be competing in the Today’s American Woman pageant in June in Greenville, S.C. “I’m really excited about this one because it’s different than all the other ones,” Heston said. “You have your own platform, which I do, but then you’re also required to do communitybased appearances every month. So, like this month, my community base is something to do with veterans.”

A theme for another month might be breast cancer awareness.

“It’s more public service than actually about you and just your own personal mission,” Heston said. “It gets you branching out into different things. It’s kind of what I wanted to be doing anyway in our community.”

Titles There is a lot of pageant

experience under Heston’s belt. She competed in America’s SUPER Pageant and won Mrs. Iowa International in 2011 and Iowa’s SUPER Mrs. in 2012.

At the Today’s American Woman pageant, Heston has the opportunity to compete for two different titles — her own division title and the national title.

According to Heston, the community-based approach is what drew her into this specific pageant.

“It’s more about doing things for others as to doing things for you. I didn’t get into pageantry for the thought of I’m going to get something out of it,” she said.

Personal platforms As for Heston’s personal platforms, she still does work for the Special Olympics. However, she also has a new platform that deals with drug rehabilitation called “Down with Dope, Up with Hope.”

“Our community has a meth addiction, and our community has a lot of kids Please see HESTON, Page 4

City looks into housing redevelopment, enters into agreement with Kading Properties

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Housing development could be on the rise in Osceola.

During a May 20 Osceola City Council meeting, the council spent a lot of time on the redevelopment efforts on the west side of the city, such as The Meadows, as well as zoning issues in the area.

First, the council approved the first reading of an “R-60” single-family residential district of the Osceola Zoning Ordinance. Single family means only one family can live in the dwelling.

“It only allows single families,” said

Dave Leonard, zoning administrator/ building inspector, community development. “So, the attempt here for the future use of this, not just for this development, but will be to go into existing areas that are currently all singlefamily areas that have varying lot sizes … and rezone those areas to protect them from duplexes or three-plexes or quad-plexes in the future. There’s been a lot of conversions all over town, and that’s what we’re going to try and use this R-60 tool to go in and protect some of those areas which are still uniformally single-family.”

The Meadows Next, the council held a public hearing on an ordinance rezoning The

Meadows, Plat 1, to a single-family residential district.

Ty Wheeler, Osceola city administrator/clerk, said plat 1 comprises Truman Road and the north half of Primrose Lane. The council approved the first reading of the ordinance.

The council held another public hearing regarding the ordinance rezoning The Meadows, Plat 2, with “PUD.” PUD stands for planned unit development, and Wheeler said the streets in the area are public roads yet to be named.

Growing partnerships and community pride Last week, Osceola Chamber Main Street Design Committee, Clarke County Supervisors and Osceola’s FFA program joined forces to help revitalize the courthouse lawn through a planting project.

Osceola Chamber Main Street Design Chair Brad Hansen said, “It’s a great way to forge new partnerships between the school, the supervisors, and Chamber Main Street.”

Brandi Boyd’s FFA

group spent most of Friday on the project — digging holes, laying bricks, and planting hostas that were donated by Clarke County Supervisor Marvin McCann.

Five sections were laid out between the concrete benches over by the bandstand.

Hansen said he hopes, “that this project will be successful and we will add a few more plantings every year.”

Osceola Chamber Main Street Executive Director Derek Lumsden said, “The students were really energetic and it was inspiring to see them working so hard on the project. We hope this type of enthusiasm is contagious and it starts a growing trend of community pride and partnerships in Osceola.”

What’s next?

Lumsden said, “There will be some additional work done around the

Fourth of July festivities, and hopefully, some work being done on the larger flower beds on the eastern side of the courtyard this year.”

If you would like to get involved with some of the work being done by Osceola Chamber Main Street, contact Derek Lumsden at 641-342-4200 or email him at ocms@iowatelecom.net to find out ways to grow partnerships and take pride in our community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Supporting Schaff

By Randy Fairchild Tama

Osceola City Council you got what you wanted. You got Glenn Schaff off of the council. Glenn worked hard for the people.

Now you can put your special in-

terest person in. It looks like the council didn’t want someone that had the backbone to put their foot down.

They want yes people.

There was a voter backlash a long time ago. It could happen again. The voters are mad.

Graduation merry-go-round

By Tom Murr Osceoala

I have been amazed at the college graduation speakers merry-go-round this year.

Major colleges and universities have traditionally invited outstanding people to give the graduation speech.

I don’t know if anyone remembers the speakers, but it is an honor to hear great people speak.

The merry-go-round started with Brandeis University inviting Ayaan Hirsi Ali from American Enterprise Institute.

She was raised in Islam religion, but has denounced Islam. She has been outspoken against Islam, calling it a “backward religion” and stating “violence is inherent in Islam religion.”

Professors and students protested her being invited for these statements against Islam religion.

Condoleezza Rice joined the merry-go-round being invited to speak at Rutgers University.

There, again, the professors and students protested her role as secretary of state with President Bush and the Iraq War. Though Rice was the first African American to become Secretary of State, she is also an accomplished pianist who started performing at 15, a university professor at Stanford University and has a strong sports background.

Rice was selected as one of 13 members of College Football Playoff committee for the NCAA this year.

Though Forbes ranked Christine Lagarde the eighth most powerful woman in the world, that was not enough for the professors and students at Smith College.

Christine Legarde was the first woman to head the IMF and the protest was centered on the loaning of money to countries that support oppression and abuse of women.

In Topeka, Kan., First Lady Michelle Obama was invited to give the graduation speech for Topeka high schools on the 60th anniversary of the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision that outlawed segregation of schools.

However, there was protest that her appearance would distract from the accomplishments of the seniors.

A compromise was reached with First Lady Michelle Obama speaking at a senior recognition program on Friday night before graduation.

Graduation time has shown our strong political divisions in America. I remember in the 1950s, young people were criticized for having too much conformity.

Now, America has become polarized by many hot button issues. The hot button issues range from abortion to gay marriage, with many issues in between. Seemingly, the court system has become the place to settle these issues.

However, in many cases the people have voted by large majority, or large majorities have passed laws in the states that are often overturned by the courts. This raises serious questions that the rule of the majority is being put down by the actions of the minority.

Recently, I have read some articles about how “revolutions” can arise in nations when the majorities are not being heard.

We will have to wait another year to see if graduations will be less of a merry-go-round and speakers will again bring more substance to the students, families and friends on graduation day.

It may turn out that some of this year’s graduates will pay to hear some of these speakers in the future.

It is the opinion of this writer that colleges and universities are places of learning where all views should be heard. America is a nation where all ideas are to be heard and discussed.

In an effort to honor those who are already in Iowa and encourage more to come here and enrich our communities and work for Iowa companies, the House led the way in passing the Home Base Iowa Act. This package of legislation is designed to attract veterans back to Iowa and ensure they have the opportunities they need to be successful when they return: Senate File 303 includes: • Military Pension Income Tax Exemption: Fully exempts military pensions from state income tax.

• Survivor Benefits Income Tax Exemption: Fully exempts military survivor benefits from state income tax.

• Occupational Licensure: Directs Iowa’s occupational licensing boards to adopt rules allowing credit for military training and experience in the

licensing process.

• Hiring preference: Allows private sector employers to grant a preference in hiring and promoting veterans.

• Plate fees: Eliminates the special plate issuance fees charged for plates associated with military service.

• Monitor credits: Requires community colleges, universities and private institutions to file reports on the amount of credits they are giving veterans for their service in the military.

• County Veterans Affairs: Helps county commissions of Veterans Affairs keep veterans records confidential, as well as improving the policies dealing with the care and maintenance of veteran’s graves.

Disabled Veteran Tax Credit: Expands the current property tax credit for disabled veterans. (SF 2352).

Fotiadis said he trusts the public to have interested candidates.

“I think this is one (where) the people are the boss. We put it in our boss’ hand,” he said.

“I’m not worried about special election costs. In this case, I think it’s too important of a decision to quibble over whether

there’s a special election cost.

And, my understanding is that there will be certainly more than one candidate interested.”

Low voter turnout?

During an interview after the meeting, Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, said the special election would cost approximately $3,000.

In the November 2013 regular city council election, only 16 percent of the registered voting

population voted in Osceola.

When asked if he had any concerns about spending money and potentially having another low voter turnout, Wheeler said, “I don’t have any concerns because the at-large seat was filled for such a long time and we’re only six months into the term. So, I think the council is on the right track with calling for the special election.”

Elect Ernst

By Dale Mastarone Osceola

Mark Jacobs dug into his own deep pockets to run an attack ad against Republican State Sen. Joni Ernst for missing votes in the Iowa legislature this past session.

Some missed votes were perfectly excusable because she was serving in the Iowa Guard.

Regarding the missed votes while she was campaigning for the U.S. Senate, and borrowing from Hilary Clinton, “What difference would it have made?” The Iowa Senate has 24 Republicans and 26 Democrats, and if the Democrats want it they get it through party line vote.

Looking up some definitions on Google, I believe this well describes Joni Ernst, “Stateswoman: A wom-

an who exhibits great wisdom and ability in directing the affairs of a government.”

Regarding Mark Jacobs, does this describe him? “Carpetbagger: A political candidate who seeks election in an area where they have no local connections.”

I personally detest the current two-party system. So long as we’re stuck with it, what we need in Iowa is 50/50 in both houses, and the same goes for the U.S. Congress.

A bit of gridlock from time to time would certainly be beneficial to those who spill blood in military conflict and those who pay the bills.

Let’s cast our votes properly so we can get the U.S. Congress in sync by nominating and electing Joni Ernst to the U.S. Senate.

Rating upgrade: Ty Wheeler, Osceola city administrator/clerk, left, and Mayor Fred Diehl hold a framed announcement from Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services during an Osceola City Council meeting Tuesday, May 20. Standard and Poor’s announced it raised general-obligation bond credit rating on Osceola from “A” to “A+.” The rating and stable outlook reflect Standard and Poor’s assessment of the city’s strong budgetary flexibility and liquidity. Other factors include adequate budgetary performances after adjusting for one-time capital expenditures and the city’s strong management conditions with good financial practices and policies.

SPORTS Patton, McKinney medal at state Raising the Barr THURSDAY • MAY, 29, 2014

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — The spectacular high school track and field careers of Murray’s Kate Patton and Interstate 35’s Holly McKinney came to a close here Saturday at the Co-ed State Track Meet.

In their final trip to the famed blue oval as a high school athlete, both Patton and McKinney earned a pair of medals.

Patton, who won four medals at last year’s state track meet, repeated as a medalist in the 100 meters and the 200 meters.

“I feel pretty happy, I guess,” Patton said. “I never could break 12.5 or 25.5, which is what I ran last year, but I’m still pretty happy.”

Patton ran 12.86 in Saturday’s finals of the 100 meter dash, .44 seconds behind winner Katie Maschmann of Montezuma.

In the 200 meter dash, Patton took third in 26.32.

“Eveything was kind of normal,” she said. “I always feel pretty relaxed up here, since I’ve been here since I was a freshman. I know what to expect. Again, I was slow out of the blocks. I think once I get that down, I’ll be good. I’m just always

playing catch-up.”

Still, ending her career with a pair of medals at the state track meet was an honor for Patton.

“It feels good,” she said.

“I got four last year, but it feels great to come back and compete again. Just being here is an honor for me.”

Meanwhile, Interstate 35 senior Holly McKinney had a busy weekend running the distance triple.

McKinney finished eighth in Thursday’s Class 2A 3,000 meters, running a 17-second personal best

DES MOINES — A group of young Clarke track and field athletes gained valuable experience here last weekend at the Co-ed State Track Meet, and in the process, raised the bar for next year’s expectations.

“Their excitement when they came out onto the track yesterday, when they just saw it, they’d never even been here,” Clarke girls track coach Renee Henry said. “Their excitement was overwhelming to me, it gave me goosebumps. I love seeing that. To place so high with such a young group, I’m excited. We did great this year.”

Leading the way for Clarke was sophomore Alexis Barr in the high jump.

Barr cleared 5-0 and took three solid attempts at 5-2, easily having cleared the bar on each attempt, but just clipping the bar with her heels on the way down on all three attempts.

The Clarke school record holder in the event finished in a five-way tie for eighth place, having not missed an attempt until 5-2.

“She’s kind of disappointed with the result, but nerves have a lot to do with things like that,” Henry said.

“In this arena, it takes a lot to just settled everything down and get it. She’ll be back next year, so we’ll get that.”

Freshman Bailey Zimmerman finished 12th overall in the 100 hurdles with her time of 16.55.

“She came in 17th and finished 12th,” Henry said.

“She’s run better than that, but as a freshman, to be 12th overall, there’s no complaints there. She’s just going to get better and stronger next year. And we’re looking forward to Solanna

“I wanted to PR, definitely,” McKinney said.

“I was seeded 17th and I knew I could do what it takes to get top eight and get that medal.”

Saturday morning kicked off with McKinney running another personal best in the 800 meters. She finished 13th overall in 2:25.94.

She capped her weekend with perhaps her best race of the meet, running a 15-second personal best in the 1,500 meters to finish fifth in 4:56.45.

“I can’t believe it, really,” McKinney said. “It’s what I’ve been working toward all my four seasons.

This is my last high school race ever, so I wanted to make it a good one. It can’t be a bad one on this track.”

McKinney spent the early portions of the race in third place, before falling all the way to eighth. But, OST photo by SCOTT VICKER Clarke senior Allyssa May clears the first hurdle during her leg of the shuttle hurdle relay she used a strong final lap on Thursday at the Co-ed State Track Meet. The Lady Indians finished 17th in the event, to surge her way into fifth.

“I just thought to myself, running a new season’s best time.

‘Can you do this? Can you push that much harder?’” she said. “So I went for it. Just as always, glory to God and thanks to my teammates and family for all of their support.”

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Osceola Fareway

HOUSING: Continued from Page 1

This is where some public frustrations were voiced because the council was also looking into having a development agreement with Kading Properties for the area.

The proposed development agreement for the development of The Meadows, Plat 2, called for no fewer than 42 single-family property lots and the construction of no fewer than 22 twofamily dwellings, also known as duplexes.

Kading Properties shall be responsible for the design and construction of all infrastructure associated with the project. Kading will sell the lots for the single-family dwellings, but won’t build the homes. However, they will build the duplexes, including the infrastructure and the grading.

Dan Novelli with Kading Properties said there would be sound abatement with a vegetative barrier for the noises from the trains, and it would be maintained by them.

Public frustration Osceola resident Val Funk expressed concerns with the development with Kading Properties.

“I am not against the development of the property out there, but as a homeowner in that area, the number of duplexes that they are proposing to build out there is going to outnumber the number of single-family dwellings,” Funk said. “And, since they are not planning on actually building the houses for the lots they are making available, we are going to be outnumbered in duplexes to houses, and I believe it’s going to devastate our neighborhood. The house values that we have out there are going to drop into the sewer because people don’t want to live next to that many duplexes.”

There was a general public concern about building duplex dwellings for people

with lower income but who also want to live in a larger dwelling.

Citizens attending the meeting had issues with Osceola being close to Des Moines and right off Interstate 35, because over time, the duplexes could potentially attract unfavorable people and the trafficking of drugs.

The council listened to the public’s concerns, but also approved many first readings of the zoning ordinances.

The councilmen reminded the public that ordinances have to have second and third readings before they go into effect, which gives the council more time to look into potential issues.

However, the city council also approved going into a development agreement with Kading Properties.

Salvaging At the end of the redevelopment discussion, Wheeler said he wanted to clarify the redevelopment project is really a resalvaging project because of a bad development deal in that area with Midwest Homes Incorporated.

Wheeler said city officials were approached by Kading Properties with development proposals to fix the housing problem made many year ago.

“The city, everybody, spent a lot of money 10 years ago and didn’t get anything out of it,” Wheeler said.

“This is a salvage, this is a redevelopment project. It’s trying to take, what I think is a bit of an eyesore, and, in terms of larger subdivisiontype projects for the city and it’s history, and trying to make the best we can out of it. But, unless we’ve got somebody willing to come to the table and participate, it’s not going to happen. We’re not going to put in sanitary sewer. We’re not going to extend these streets without something coming in from a development standpoint to support it.”

However, Midwest Homes went bankrupt.

What was left was a street system that was incomplete and sewer that can no longer support further development.

What the city was left with was a bond that has had to be paid. Recently, city officials were notified from Kading Properties with an idea to salvage the development in the area.

Oh Boy! A Vacancy!

By The Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

“... Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil ...”

As Rosa recited the words of the Lord’s Prayer, she got stuck there. “... but deliver us from evil...”

Her mind went back to last week, when she’d traveled back to the reservation for her great grandmother’s funeral.

She’d gone out to see great gram’s hogan (house) one last time — and found only ashes and burned out rubble.

Rosa’s uncle Joe had found her there, crying by the hogan. “My daughter,” he’d put his arm around her, “What did you expect? You know tradition. They didn’t get her outside fast enough. The hogan had to be destroyed. You know that.”

She remembered. If they hadn’t burned the hogan, then anything evil from her great grandmother’s life would come back there — with other evil spirits. The hogan Rosa remembered as such a wonderful home full of great gram’s love would have been transformed into a house of evil.

She shuddered at that thought. Uncle Joe hugged her.

“Let’s go back to Hosteen Begay’s place. That’s where everyone’s gathering,” he said as he turned her away from the sight of the ruined hogan.

As they walked, Rosa thought — about the evil she’d recently cleaned out of her own life. She’d not been intentional about filling the empty places with good things, and now that evil kept threatening to come back — even worse Weekly small groups - Osceola, IA. Pastor call for info.

than before.

Her mind came back to the present, to the church where she sat in the middle of her congregation, and she finished the prayer in a whisper “... for Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”

As Rosa drove home from church that day, she thought about the mistake she’d come so close to making last night. That drug cabinet had looked SO tempting. That familiar voice in her mind told her, No one would know. As the overnight nursing supervisor in the intensive care unit, they trusted her.

How surprised they’d be if they found out that her recent three week “vacation” had been spent at a drug rehab facility for medical professionals.

What can we learn from Rosa’s struggle? We’re human, far from perfect, and in continual need of God’s grace, forgiveness and transformation.

We need to continually participate in our relationship with God, living out of and into the incredible gift of Jesus.

We need to WWJD (Walk With Jesus Daily), filling all the empty spaces left when we ‘clean house’ in our lives with Christ’s presence and power. I’m working on it every day, strengthened by being part of a strong Christian community, prayer and Scripture reading. How about you?

Campaign stop: Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, second

from right, a Republican who is running for Congress in Iowa’s Second Congressional District, discusses political issues during a campaign stop at Nana Greer’s Family Table Restaurant Tuesday, May 27. Dr. Miller-Meeks made a campaign stop in Osceola as part of her 24-county “Full Grassley” tour before the Republican primary election June 3. In Dr. MillerMeeks’ “Full Grassley” tour, she visited all the counties in Iowa’s Second Congressional District, which is similar to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who visits all of Iowa’s 99 counties every year. If Dr. Miller-Meeks wins the Republican primary, she will face incumbent Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, in the November election. Dr. Miller-Meeks is an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) who most recently served as the director of Iowa Department of Public Health. This is her third time campaigning for the Congressional seat.

Graceland University AmeriCorps Youth Launch – Changing the lives of young people LAMONI — AmeriCorps Youth Launch, a Graceland University Youth Launch Commission organization, serves in six counties in southern Iowa in school and communitybased sites to bring AmeriCorps members together with students to lead them toward educational and life success.

Members assess students’ individual needs and develop opportunities that will engage them and get them excited about their future.

“Members strive to identify a student’s “SPARK” (their interest or passion in life) and connect them with opportunities and members in their community to help build that SPARK,” said Shannon Harris, AmeriCorps director. “In addition to building SPARKS, AmeriCorps members engaged students in other activities including career shadowing, drama, drug prevention, environmental sustainability, bullying prevention, life skills, personal safety, and many other enrichment opportunities.”

Some examples of ac-

tivities local AmeriCorps members have planned and been involved with are an Anti-Bully Summit in Clarke Community schools, community garden project in Lamoni, radio spots for Earth Day by Mount Ayr students, assistance with the annual Leon Community Clean-up Day and the production of “The Miracle Worker.”

AmeriCorps members strive to develop programs and activities that are interesting to young people while also delivering messages that tie into their communities and will have a lifelong meaning for them.

“AmeriCorps Youth Launch just engaged 19 additional AmeriCorps members into a term of service during the summer months and these members will provide assistance for summer school, plan and lead summer youth day camps along with many other summer youth enrichment activities, and we can’t wait to begin,” Harris said. “In addition to helping young people reach their academ-

ic potential, we also want them to have strong role models to give them direction as they mature and reach out to what they will become.”

Since the founding of AmeriCorps in 1994, more than 800,000 AmeriCorps members across America have contributed more than 1 billion hours in service – engaging more than 80,000 Americans in service each year.

Graceland AmeriCorps Youth Launch members receive a living stipend and an educational award upon completion of their service hours.

“Most importantly, though, is AmeriCorps members learn valuable skills that will relate to future career success in their Hostas: professional lives as well as the personal gratification of making a difference in the lives of others,” Harris said.

Senior health The United Health Foundation released its second annual America’s Health Rankings® Senior Report, which focuses on overall health outcomes for adults aged 65 and older. Iowa ranks 13th in the nation for senior health, according to this report; in 2012, Iowa ranked 7th.

“As with all such rankings, this report captures a snapshot in time, and does not offer a full picture of the health of Iowa’s senior population,” said IDPH Director Gerd Clabaugh. “Even so, it offers insights into the successes and challenges the state faces as its population ages.”

A variety of health factors were included in the rankings mechanism, ranging from the percentage of seniors with depression to the percentage of doctors who are dedicated solely to geriatric care. Iowa’s successes include having the highest influenza vaccination coverage among seniors in the nation at 70.1 percent.

The percentage of hospital deaths among seniors is low in Iowa, and declined by 24 percent in the past year. Volunteerism among Iowa seniors ranks 6th in the nation.

Challenges facing Iowa’s senior population mirror those of the general population, with obesity at the top of the list. Iowa ranks 48th in the nation, with 29.6 percent of Iowans age 65 and older listed as being obese. The IDPH program called Better Choices, Better Health (also known as the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program) helps adults manage the symptoms of chronic diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes, and focuses on weight management through healthy nutrition and activity. Workshop sessions are held at community-based locations in participating counties.
