MURRAY — Roland Mathes pulled out a picture and set it in the middle of the table in his home in Murray.

“It’s right there,” he said, pointing to the people in the photo.

The picture was of a group of people in ages ranging from four to 42.

The back of the picture was labeled “Karen’s Kids.”

The photo was taken during a funeral dinner for Karen Mathes in May. To Karen’s husband Roland, the group of people are his wife’s legacy.

“There’s none of them (who) will ever forget her,” he said.

How it began Thirty-seven years ago, a family friend asked if Karen would like to watch their children, and the request gradually led to her supervising more children in the area.

Karen gave many years of service with doing in-home child care and participating on the USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

CACFP is part of the Federal School Lunch Program available to registered home child care providers.

Participants are paid cash for serving meals that meet nutritional guidelines.

Certificate of achievement On May 13, Karen received a certificate of achievement from the Iowa Department of Education.

The certificate of achievement states, “On your dedicated service to

It’s going to be show full of the slickest sights and sounds.

On Thursday, July 2, the Santa Clara Vanguard drum corps will rehearse on Clarke’s practice field, football field and soccer field.

The practice is to prepare for their performance in Waukee for the Celebration in Brass the same day. “ T h e nice part a b o u t having it here is the kids, anybody in the comm u n i t y , Lampe can come and watch them rehearse for free,” said Brad Lampe, Clarke Community High School’s band director.

Santa Clara Vanguard, which is part of Drum Corps International, has a show in the Kansas City area Wednesday, July 1. Then, the drum corps will travel to Osceola and stay overnight.

In Osceola Lampe said he expects the

We at the State Department of Education would like to take this opportunity to honor you and your efforts to feed children over the past several decades. Thank you for participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program.”

Karen died May 16, three

days after receiving the honor.

Roland believes when the certificate was Mathes presented to Karen, even though she was ill with a bad heart, she knew what it was about.

“I’m sure she knew what was going on then. I’m sure she knew it,” he said.

Karen dedicated nearly four decades of her life toward helping others. She was still taking care of children until March of this year. Karen was dedicated until the end.

practice to happen around late morning and afternoon July 2. The Celebration in Brass is scheduled to begin 7 p.m. July 2 at Waukee High School’s stadium.

“We’re kind of lucky to get them here,” Lampe said.

“In fact, it’ll either be them or the Cavaliers from Rosemont, (Ill.), that will probably win at this thing in Waukee. They’re top notch.”

During practices, Lampe said he expects the Santa Clara Vanguard’s color guard, brass line and drum line to practice in their own fields, and then they will come together for a big group rehearsal in the afternoon.

“The afternoon is probably when you get to see most of them all together doing some things, but they’ll be here all day,” he said.

The Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps was formed in 1967 in Santa Clara, Calif. They are a six-time world champion in Drum Corps International.

her, or that she forgot them.

Roland pulled out many graduation announcements from students in the class of 2015 inviting the family to their graduation parties.

Many of the boys Karen babysat took an avid interest in demolition cars once they got older and she would sponsor their demolition cars. “Karen’s Daycare” would be prominently displayed on the cars during competition.

Roland brought out a letter he had received from the Dudney family thanking his wife. The letter mentions how Karen made sure the

Dudney’s three boys became involved in swim lessons, Bible school and peewee wrestling.

Even after the Dudney boys grew up, Karen still came to their birthday parties, graduations and weddings.

A section of the letter states, “She had such an influence on my kids. We will miss you so much. I thank you for helping me make my kids what they have become today.”

Roland said he is going to display both Karen’s state license and certificate of appreciation in his home.

“It’s unbelievable,” he said. “...

All of her time, she gave all of her time to it.”

“For my band kids, they can come and see the work ethic that’s involved,” he said. “They can come and see the detail and the amount of sweat that’s put in to what makes them so good. They work hard here in our band, but it’s a whole different league for this, and I’d like them to see that league and witness how much time and effort it takes to be as good as they are.”

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

End of the legislative session

By Rep. Joel Fry

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

These are the 2015-16 House Republican budget principles.

The House is committed to these principles to produce a balanced and sustainable state budget: 1. We will spend less than the state collects 2. We will not use one-time money to fund on-going needs 3. We will not balance the budget by intentionally under funding programs 4. We will return unused tax dollars to Iowa’s taxpayers.

The House budget plan • Total ongoing state revenue: $7.1847 billion • Total ongoing state expenditures: $7.1752 billion • Percent of ongoing revenues expended: 99.87 percent • Rate of revenue growth: 2.6 percent • FY15 ending balance: $285.4 million (after expenditures in HF 666) • Amount expended from the FY15 ending balance: $134.9 million • Percent of available revenues expended under the 99 percent Expenditure Limitation Law: 97.48 percent • Projected FY16 cash reserve: $560 million • Projected FY16 economic emergency fund: $186.7 million • Projected FY16 ending balance: $262.8 million • Projected FY16 taxpayer trust fund balance: $8.1 million During budget negotiations, some pushed for a spending level of $7.3509 billion. This is 102.3 percent of ongoing revenue and obviously well above the ongoing revenue number of $7.175 billion.

As we have done since the 2011 session, the House held firm to our budget principles resulting in an agreement that has the state living within its means. Under this plan, the ending balance in FY16 is projected to be $262.8 million.

As has been the case every legislative session since 2011, the holdup to adjournment was the spending appetite of

The Fry Times

JOEL FRY

those who don’t agree with the principals. Every year there is a push to spend more than the state collects and every year the House holds the line while providing workable solutions to spend within our means.

The House budget plan spends 99.9 percent ($7.175 billion) of ongoing revenue ($7.184 billion) ensuring that government does not spend more than it has and lives within its means. This is a 2.48 percent ($173.8 million) increase over FY15. Other plans spend 102.3 percent ($7.3509 billion) of ongoing revenue. That is a 5.10 percent ($356.6 million) increase over FY15. Some in the House advocated spending the $7.490 level allowed by our outdated expenditure limitation law.

Why does the House maintain its budget principles? Because the money is earned by hardworking Iowans and we have a responsibility to protect the taxpayers and families who go to work, play by the rules and pay their taxes.

Those Iowans expect to be treated with respect. That is why the House will stand up and protect their money every day. Every dollar the Legislature spends what it doesn’t have puts the financial security of those taxpayers and families in jeopardy. Responsible budgeting ensures Iowa’s must vulnerable citizens have resources they can depend on next year and the year after.

It is important to Iowans that the Legislature does not

spend more than we have and live within our means. While standing by this principle for the last five legislative sessions, Republicans have found common ground with the governor and Senate Democrats. We expect that to continue next year. Living within our means is something the hardworking taxpayers of Iowa do every day. Government needs to do the same.

Iowans are sending $7.184 billion to state government coffers. That is a tremendous amount of money. Spending more than they are sending to the state sets hardworking taxpayers up for either future budget cuts or a tax increase.

Instead of that, the Legislature should simply live within its means.

For the third consecutive year, House Republicans and Senate Democrats have also agreed on a Strategic Investments and Debt Reduction Bill. Key pieces include: • $10 million payment will be made into the Debt Repayment Fund for future debt retirement • Additional K-12 funding — $55.7M one-time commitment from the ending balance • Fiscal Year 2015 Medicaid Supplemental — $43M onetime commitment from the ending balance • Community Colleges — $2.5M one-time commitment from the ending balance • University of Iowa — $2.9M one-time commitment from the ending balance • Iowa State University – $2.3M one-time commitment from the ending balance • University of Northern Iowa – $1.1M one-time commitment from the ending balance Thank you once again for the honor of serving each of you in the Iowa Legislature. While this session was extended by a bit over a month, it was clearly worth the effort to be sure that Iowa citizen’s needs were met and their voices were heard. I look forward to visiting with you over the summer.

American Pickers to film in Osceola Osceola will welcome Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and Antique Archaeology to the area. The team will film episodes of their hit series “American Pickers” throughout Iowa. Filming will begin next month.

“American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique ‘picking’ on history. This hit show follows two of the most skilled pickers in the business, Wolfe and Fritz, as they embark on an epic road trip across the U.S. in search of America’s most valuable antiques from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia.

They are on a mission to recycle America, restore forgotten relics to their former glory and learn a thing or two about American history along the way.

Filming is scheduled to start next month. “American Pickers” is looking for leads and would love to explore what people may have. They are on the hunt for interesting characters with interesting and unique items.

Participate in farmers’ market scavenger hunt DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encouraged Iowa students who were in kindergarten through eighth grade this past school year to take part in a “Farmers’ Market Scavenger Hunt” at any of the 37 participating farmers markets across the state. The Iowa Farm to School program, which is part of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, is sponsoring the initiative.

“We are fortunate to have wonderful farmers markets all across the state and I hope students will take advantage of this opportunity to get out and learn more about all the fresh, delicious products that are available and support their local market,” Northey said.

To participate, students simply need to complete the

THURSDAY • JUNE 11, 2015

“Farmers Market Scavenger Hunt” form. Forms may be picked up at any participating farmers market or can be printed from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture. gov under the “Hot Topics” section.

When they have completed the form, they can submit it to the market manager at the main market booth for the farmers market. Upon submitting the form, students will receive a free item from the market, such as a fruit, vegetable or honey, and will be entered into a drawing for additional prizes. In addition, the classroom with the most participation over the summer will receive a grow light that can be used to help them grow their own fruits and vegetables.

The farmers markets participating in the program are Beaverdale, Bettendorf, Bondurant, Boone Area, Cedar Valley at Kimball Ridge (Waterloo), Central City Main Street, Charles City Downtown, Clear Lake, College Hills (Cedar Falls), Clarke County (Osceola), Davenport, Davis County (Bloomfield), Eldora, Fairfield, Grinnell, Independence, Iowa City, Iowa Falls, Keosauqua, Knoxville, Lakes Area (Spirit Lake), Lamoni, LSI Global Greens (Des Moines), Maquoketa, Marion, Mt. Pleasant, Muscatine Area, Pocahontas, Riceville, Rock the Block (Cedar Rapids), Shelby County (Harlan), Sheldon, Sioux City, Uptown Ankeny, Valley Junction (West Des Moines), Wapello Co (Ottumwa), and Welcome Center (Missouri Valley).

Each year the Iowa Farm to School Program sponsors initiatives to help educate students about the benefits of developing healthy eating habits. This is done through opportunities such as “A is for Apple” and “A Garden is the Way to Grow.” These opportunities give students the chance to learn about where their food comes from and to try fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables.

ture made a serious commitment to Iowans to not spend more than the state takes in.

• Significant work on Medicaid cost containment measures that will be vital to the ongoing stability of

state resources.

• The most substantial pro-life language to Iowa law in over a decade.

families who go to work, play by the rules and pay their taxes very seriously,” Fry said. “Every dollar the Legislature spends that it doesn’t have puts the financial security of those taxpayers and families

Due diligence By the Rev. Dr. Al Adams

didn’t miss him, did I?” Jan’s response was interesting — and enlightening.

“Didn’t you hear about his uncle? The one who died last month before he could take his dream vacation? Well, Dennis inherited that vacation! Cool, huh? Anyway, he’ll be in later — 4 p.m., I think. You can call back then, OK?” Dale smiled.”OK Jan. Thanks.” As he hung up the phone, Dale turned to the team. “Like I said, due diligence. Sometimes we don’t know what, or who, too well. We just think we do.”

“I can’t tell you how happy I am to learn that many members of your congregation are diligent in living out the truth.” (2 John 4, Message version).

This Scripture writer is commending these followers because they live their faith “diligently.” That is, they are conscious of their everyday choices. They measure their decisions based on their identity as followers of Christ. He reminds them that their “original and basic charter” is to conduct their lives in love.

If Jesus could “tag along” with you, say, for just a day, what would He see? Would He say how happy He is to see you “living out the truth” and conducting your life in love?

Most of us (OK all of us) could point to parts of yesterday that Jesus would be quite happy with. We’d say, “Sure, Jesus could say that about that part of my day but ... “ Before we grind ourselves down over the parts of our day that wouldn’t meet that criteria, let’s remember this: If we were perfect, we wouldn’t need Jesus.

Notice that this Scripture writer, even after praising these folks, feels the need to remind them where their lives are to be grounded — in love. They are to live in “due diligence” to their original rule. After all, God creates in love. God showers grace on us in love. God sent Jesus out of love for us. Call it God’s holy “due diligence.”

So how are we doing with our “due diligence?” Do we regularly “audit” (examine) our thoughts, words and actions? Do we submit them to Christ, asking Him to teach us with His grace through those times we aren’t so “diligent?”

If the “truth has taken up permanent residence in us,” let’s let His truth and love indeed rule our lives as our “basic charter” that this Scripture speaks of.

“Hang him out to dry, that’s what I say!”

Jade passionately addressed the company’s top leadership team. “It’s obvious he’s the one. I mean, Dennis is the guy who records the numbers, right?” They sat around the conference table, called to this emergency meeting when an audit turned up thousands of dollars in missing revenue.

All of them seemed to nod in agreement — except one, Dale. He sat with his hands folded in front of him, looking around the table at each team member.

“I understand,” he said. “We have reason to be worried.

We have reason to be upset — angry even. But I have one question. Any of you ever been unjustly accused of anything? Further, any of you been fired and then found innocent?”

Blank looks were the only answers he received, so he continued. “So I have two words for us: Due diligence. It means we stop. It means we look. We ask questions. We listen.

And we investigate. Dennis doesn’t handle the money. All he does is record the receipts management gives him. He never sees the money. All we have to do is stop and think to see that. Maybe he does know something. Maybe not.

Making him the scapegoat won’t help us find the answers we need. And guess what? He may just turn around and sue us — ever think of that?”

The expressions around the table told Dale the clear answer to that one: No, they hadn’t.

Not to be deterred too long, Jade jumped right back into the conversation. “But I know both the managers there.

They would never do something like this. It has to be Dennis. He got his hands on that money — somehow. Did you all know he’s planning a vacation to Europe? Now just how does a convenience store clerk and bookkeeper afford that?

I’m telling you, he’s guilty. End of story. I say we call the cops now.”

Dale was amazed — and more than irritated. “Let me check something out right now.” He reached over to the conference room telephone on the table, pressed the speaker phone option, and dialed a number.

They all heard two rings and then the answer. “Store 4782. Jan speaking. How may I help you today?”

Good, Dale thought, Jan’s the head cashier — she knows everyone and everything. Dale asked her a simple question, “Hey Jan, Dale from the management team here. Is Dennis around? I heard he’s going to Europe on vacation — wow! I a.m. - Morning Worship, 10:45 a.m. - Evening Worship, 6 p.m.

Indians score first conference win since 2012

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

The Clarke baseball team’s sweep of Centerville on Monday was a big step forward for head coach Justin Stoulil’s program.

With the 10-6 win in game one of the varsity doubleheader, the Indians picked up their first conference win since the 2012 season.

The Indians didn’t stop there, however, as they came back to win 15-4 in six innings in the nightcap.

The two wins improved the Indians to 4-6 for the season, giving Clarke more wins already this year than in the past two years combined.

“I believe it’s our first conference win in three years,” Stoulil said Monday night. “We already have more wins than we’ve had in the past couple of seasons, as well. Good start to the season.”

Landon Spurgin pitched a complete game for the Indians in game one Monday night.

Stoulil said Spurgin did a good job of throwing strikes and letting Centerville put the ball in play, while the defense behind Spurgin did a good job of making the plays. Spurgin threw 106 pitches over seven innings.

Skylar Johnson hit a three-run triple in the win for Clarke, w h i l e Trevor Kirkpatrick and D u s t a n Johnson Van Loon each recorded a pair of hits.

As a team, Clarke stole 14 bases in the game, as Reed Kale swiped three bags.

Kirkpatrick threw all six innings of the nightcap for Clarke, as the Indians won by the 10-run mercy rule af-

ter six innings.

Kale finished 2-for-3 at the plate with a pair of stolen bases and two RBI. Gable Reece walked three times and collected a hit, stealing three bases. Johnson also finished with three walks and a hit to go with four runs scored and three stolen bases.

Z a c h Harmsen hit a three-run double and Devin W i l l s drove in three runs Harmsen in the win.

“We’re starting to play well,” Stoulil said. “Once we get the offense going and making things happen on the offensive side, we seem to play much better than we do when we don’t get the bats going.”

All four Clarke wins this season have come since

June 3.

Since that date, the Indians are 4-2.

That run started off with an 8-3 win over Moravia on June 3, highlighted by a strong pitching performance from Reece.

Reece pitched a complete g a m e three-hitter, while striking out 13 and w a l k i n g Reece just one.

“Throwing strikes, mixing up his pitches,” Stoulil said.

“Fastball, has a great curveball. When he throws it for a strike, it’s virtually unhittable. That was the first game we really got our bats going and off to a good start for us.”

Offensively, Reece finished with a double in the game. Wills finished with two hits and two RBI to go with two stolen bases in the

win. Kirkpatrick, Van Loon and Johnson each drove in two runs for Clarke.

On Friday, Clarke suffered a close 11-7 loss to Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont after spotting the Rockets five runs in the first inning.

Starting pitcher Harmsen settled down after the first inning and finished with 12 strikeouts, but was hampered by six walks in the first frame.

Clarke stole 13 bases as a team in the game, led

by Harmsen’s four swipes.

Reece and Kale each stole three bases.

In Saturday’s tournament at Martensdale-St. Marys, the Indians opened with an 11-8 win over Lamoni.

Reece doubled and drove in two runs, while Gordon Witt finished with two hits and two RBI to go with two stolen bases. Kirkpatrick finished the game with three RBI and three thefts.

Reece pitched 4 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on four hits with six strikeouts and three walks.

Harmsen picked up the win in relief, going 2 1/3 innings.

“We continued to play small ball, stealing bases, putting bunts down, making the defense make plays,” Stoulil said. “They didn’t make plays when we put bunts down, so those turned into hits, too. Definitely a great game to get the ball rolling and pick up another W.” Clarke then lost to Des Moines Christian, 10-7.

Reece hit a solo home run in the game and Johnson drove in two runs on two hits. Van Loon finished with three hits and one RBI, while eighth-grader Conner Deutsch drove in one run.

Clarke returns to action at home today in a varsity doubleheader against Davis County.

“We proved we can play with anyone and our effort was outstanding with the six innings of shutout ball against this veteran team,” Murray coach Danny Jensen said. “We did not finish the game well, but it was a valuable learning experience for our young pitchers. It was a very good tournament for us and will certainly help us down the road.”

Murray opened the tournament with an 11-1 win over East Union Friday night. Klein allowed only hits by Chay Blondowski and Emily Eckels, with the

Clarke picked up a pair of wins at the Bondurant-Farrar Tournament on Saturday, before losing a 6-5 game to the host Blue Jays in a rematch of the past two Class 3A state championship games.

INTERSTATE 35 COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING MINUTES May 18, 2015 The Interstate 35 Community School District Board of Education held a work session meeting on Monday, May 18, at 5:30 p.m. in the High School Library in Truro, Iowa.

President Julie Brownlee called the meeting to order at 5:34 p.m. Directors Bryan Arzani, Julie Brownlee, Leah Gray, and Dan Kirkpatrick were in attendance. Tracy Bean was absent. Also present were Superintendent Dr. Kevin Fiene and Board Secretary Ted Bauer.

Motion by Arzani, seconded by Kirkpatrick to approve the agenda; motion carried 4-0.

Fiene presented an undated list of potential summer projects. As he has explained in prior meetings, the list of maintenance projects is very lengthy and costly. After discussion of these projects and reviewing the potential costs of the entire list, the Board asked to have additional information from Piper Jaffrey regarding the option to borrow against future SAVE revenue funds, so that more projects could be completed sooner, possibly even this summer.

Fiene gave an update on the district math alignment and the restructuring process. Joel Hoger has been hired for HS math and Carrie Wood for MS math. Four secondary math teachers met on May 6 with AEA Math Consultant Diane Royer with a focus on (1) unpacking the Iowa Core, (2) assessment of what is being taught compared to what is required by the Iowa Core, and (3) Standards for Mathematical Practice. On May 13, they met again to begin reviewing math curricula for the MS. On May 21, they will meet to keep moving on selection of curricula for the MS and begin assessing HS math materials as they relate to the Iowa Core. On May 29 and June 1, they will continue working on HS curricula and alignment. Math teachers will also work collaboratively this summer for several days to further the process. Next year, the process will be expanded to include the elementary level math.

Several board members suggested including a tour of our facilities this summer to see the progress being made.

Motion by Arzani to adjourn, seconded by Kirkpatrick; motion carried 4-0.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Group raising funds for new scoreboard Clarke Athletic Booster Club is trying their hand at crowdfunding to raise money for a new football scoreboard.

The current board has displayed the score to football fans for 35 years, but has required several costly replacement parts over the past few years. Even with the repairs, the scoreboard is unreliable and has stopped working during games.

The boosters hope a new scoreboard will promote pride, not only with the football program, but also with the Clarke marching band, track and field program, Clarke School District and entire community.

They have set up a page on crowdfunding site Depositagift.com in attempts to reach that community.

Crowdfunding works by raising small amounts of money from a large number of donors by casting a wide net on the internet. There is a social aspect to crowdfunding where one can see who

else has donated, although there is also an option to remain anonymous. Some money has been raised, but they are still short of the $30,000 needed for a new scoreboard.

Clarke Booster Club President Robin Linskens said this about why supporting athletic programs is important, “Participating in organized sports teaches our athletes teamwork, sportsmanship, motivation, discipline, cooperation, motivation and builds character. These are the stepping stones in assisting in developing our future leaders and members of any community.”

The boosters hope word will get out about their crowdfunding site and will attract donations from alumni young and old who would like to help promote Clarke Pride. To sweeten the pot, through July 31 they are including Clarke Athletic Booster Club memberships with donations, along

“These are the stepping stones in assisting in developing our future leaders and members of any community.”

— Robin Linskens

Clarke Booster Club president

with free Clarke merchandise, depending on the level of sponsorship. They are hoping the community will rally around the cause, and then rally around the Clarke football and track teams, playing under the glow of a brand new, working scoreboard.

To learn more or donate, visit depositagift.com and search “Clarke Scoreboard.” If you would rather not donate online, call Robin Linskens at 641-414-2329 for more information.

Walls come tumbling down: Construction crews work on tearing down what was once the Osceola Farm and Home building located on West McLane Street in Thursday, June 4. A fire destroyed the farm and home building in October. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site of the new Osceola Farm and Home in early May. The site is located between Southwestern Community College’s Osceola Center and Boyt Harness. It is in the area of the Saylor business park. According to Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, future business development at the original farm and home site is unknown at this time.
