‘Victory’ party held for finish of CDBG facade project in downtown area

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

It was a party that was years in the making.

On Thursday, July 9, Osceola Chamber Main Street (OCMS) hosted a “Victory Celebration” in honor of the completion of the community development block grant facade project.

The project helped enhance the exterior look of many of the businesses in the downtown area.

“Most of the people I’ve heard say it made a massive change d o w n town, and a lot of Lumsden buildings like the old Hart’s Bridal, which is now where Stoney Oak is, looks fantastic, and they wish more buildings had been a part of it,” said Derek Lumsden, OCMS executive director.

There was music, food provided by Clarke County Cattlemen and tours of the buildings.

Project

Throughout the past couple of months, construction was underway on 14 buildings around the town square through a downtown revitalization grant under the CDBG program housed in Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) from federal Housing and Urban Development funds.

The project has been in the works since August 2013 when Osceola City Council approved the grant in the amount of $468,500.

The project allows building owners to fix up the front, or facade, of their buildings.

This means awnings, windows, storefront windows, doors, tuck pointing, which is fixing the building’s bricks, and cornices, which are on the top of the building.

The grant was a matching grant from the city. The city was to match 25 percent of the funding and each individual business owner was to help match the other 25 percent.

Well-spent This means the project brings in approximately $1 million in funding to the

There’s nothing quite like a good night’s sleep, and one way to ensure that is to have a comfortable mattress to rest on.

If people are looking to purchase a new mattress in Osceola, they can look no further than Mattress Wholesale Center.

The store, located on the downtown square, has been open since Nov. 17. However, the big grand opening is planned July 20-25.

“It makes all the difference in the world, whether you’re somebody that’s manually working every day or somebody that’s mentally working every day, a good night’s sleep is everything,” said owner Chad Moede.

Moede was a partner at a big store in Des Moines for five years, but was drawn to serving the smaller communities. He is from Indianola and farms near New Virginia.

“They have the best warranties of any brand,” Moede said. “Reason being, if you have any problems at all with your mattress, whether it being a 10-year

Johnson also invited the city council members to the senior center for a meal and to see how it all operates.

Johnson said there’s no restriction on age at the senior center, but it is recommended a person 60 and older, or handicapped or disabled, give $3.50. If a person is younger than the age of 60, the recommendation is $6.

This is just a suggestion when eating at the senior center.

Serves a purpose Councilman Dr. Fotiadis spoke of the benefits of the senior center and why it’s important the city include the funding in its budget.

“Again, I know there’s always been the concern about donations to private organizations, but I would also make the argument that they do serve a public function,” he said.

Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, added, “I think

Councilman Fotiadis does bring up a good point. This approval is a continuing acknowledgement of the public purpose that this transaction meets.”

Clarke-Decatur County FSA reminds of approaching acreage reporting deadline Clarke-Decatur County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Jayne Ruble reminds producers of the July 15, 2015, acreage reporting deadline for corn, soybeans, forage crops, spring seeded crops and pasture.

“In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements and avoid late file fees, all producers are encouraged to visit the Clarke-Decatur County FSA office to file an accurate, timely crop certification report,” Ruble said.

The following acreage reporting dates apply for producers in Clarke-Decatur County: July 15, 2015: Corn, Soybeans, forage crops, all spring seeded crops and pasture The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting dates: • If the crop has not been planted by the acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed.

• If a producer acquires additional acreage after the acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be report-

ed no later than 30 calendars days after purchase or acquiring the lease. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the county office.

• If a perennial forage crop is reported with the intended use of “cover only,” “green manure,” “left standing,” or “seed” then the acreage must be reported by July 15.

According to Ruble, filing timely acreage certifications with FSA establishes eligibility for programs including: Marketing Assistance Loans (MAL), Loan Deficiency Payments (LDP), Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) & Price Loss Coverage (PLC), Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and others.

For NAP policy holders, the acreage reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting of the crop begins.

For questions regarding crop certification and crop loss reports, contact the Clarke-Decatur County FSA office at 641-342-2162.

The food pantry at the SCICAP Clarke County Food Pantry recently received 50 cases of pork loins donated by the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select Farms. The donation is part of a larger effort to replenish many of Iowa’s rural food pantries during a time when most hunger relief resources run critically low. In total, 22 tons of pork loins will be donated to more than 85 food pantries and shelves throughout Iowa.

Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation donates 22 tons of pork to replenish rural food pantries IOWA FALLS — Empty freezers in Iowa food pantries will soon be full as the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select Farms announce the donation of approximately 44,000 pounds of fresh, boneless pork loins to help feed Iowa families in need. The pork is being delivered June 16 – June 30 to local community organizations, food shelves and pantries across the state.

The food pantry at the SCICAP Clarke County Food Pantry recently received 50 cases of pork loins donated by the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select Farms.

“We focus on helping Iowa families who need a helping hand,” said Jeff Hansen, president and CEO of Iowa Select Farms. “The pork loin donation helps bring families together for a good meal, which is especially important now that kids are on summer break and without school lunch programs to help them make it through the day.”

One in eight Iowans, nearly 390,000 individuals, face the risk of hunger every day, according to Cory Berkenes, executive director of the Iowa Food Bank Association, so the donation, valued at $126,800, comes at a time of great need.

“There is no one face of hunger—it affects children, adults, and seniors; knowing that many of these hard working families will be receiving this generous

gift is simply wonderful,” Berkenes said.

Each community has their own unique needs, so the foundation works with local pantries to determine how they can best meet those needs. In total, 820 cases of pork loins will be distributed during this round of donations, and with the great need for lean protein, pantries exhaust their supply very quickly. Whether the pork is used to meet immediate needs or stored in the freezer for future needs, the loins help ease the stress for families wondering where their meals will come from.

“You have no idea how much this donation helps,” said Carol Clayton, a representative of Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank in Mason City. “We oftentimes find our pantries are short of meat, dairy and fresh produce, food items that many families in need simply cannot afford.”

Each donated pork loin is being accompanied by a free 16-page booklet intended to provide families with information about how to properly store, handle and prepare the pork. The booklet also contains a collection of economical recipes for families to easily turn the pork loin into a full meal with leftovers.

The boneless pork loins are approximately 4.5 pounds each and feed 24 people a 3-ounce serving of pork. The 820 cases of

pork loin roasts donated by the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select Farms will provide approximately 234,700 servings to Iowa families.

About the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation The Hansens, who founded Iowa Select Farms and New Modern Concepts in Iowa Falls established the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation in 2006 to work with philanthropic organizations to relieve hunger, support military families and strengthen efforts to find a cure for childhood cancer while improving the quality of life for cancer patients.

About Iowa Select Farms

Iowa Select Farms, based in Iowa Falls, is Iowa’s largest pork producer. The company has been producing high-quality pork for 20 years and is committed to meeting or exceeding all requirements in efforts to protect the environment and ensure proper care and well-being of swine.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CCRC meeting questions July 16

By Kathy Kelly Osceola

Rumor is you are sitting on the water supply problem rather than begin to check out viable alternatives.

Disgusted taxpayers are questioning the legality of continuing to collect the local option sales tax designated for a Clarke County reservoir, which is an eliminated alternative.

Is it true new legislation commands acres for a reservoir requiring condemnation of private land be computed only on population census in the county in which the reservoir will be located?

And in addition, the new legislation requires that before a new reservoir can be treated or developed the acquiring agency “shall conduct a review of feasible alternatives to development or creation of a lake as a surface drinking water source.”

“An acquiring agency shall not have the authority to condemn private property ... if one or more feasible alternatives to provision of a drinking water source exist. An alternative that results in the physical expansion of an existing drinking water source is presumed to be a feasible alternative ... An alternative that supplies drinking water by pipeline

or other method of transportation or transmission from an existing source located within or outside this state at a reasonable cost is a feasible alternative.” End quote.

Is it true pipelines from Des Moines or Rathbun are alternatives under this new law if the cost is within reasonable parameters even if overall price exceeds projections for a lake requiring condemnation?

Doesn’t “expansion of an existing drinking water source” include dredging and/or building storage ponds above West Lake?

Another alternative is capitalizing on a gravity fed pipeline from Arbor Valley Lake to West Lake, as well as the potential for expansion of Arbor Valley without the use of condemnation.

Why are you continuing to make land purchases in the current project area when this project must be reevaluated as commanded by this new law?

Has each commissioner informed the bodies you represent regarding new legislation?

Has each body voted permission to proceed on this currently proposed lake?

Are you aware you may be liable for millions of misspent funds?

Last year, there was also a grant amendment increase of approximately $11,000, which was spread out among the project’s 14 buildings.

Construction officially began June 25 of last year, so it’s been more than a year to get to this finished point.

Moede said there’s a reason to shop in Osceola, as compared to the Des Moines area.

“I will match anybody’s prices, but saying that, my prices are lower than everybody else’s,” he said. “I have personal service. I have free delivery. I have the guys who will carry in, they will do everything right down to make your bed if you need it made.

Customer service At Mattress Wholesale Center, Carrie White is the store manager since Moede farms and also operates other and future store locations.

Moede offered his cell phone number at 515-802-1391.

As for that peaceful night’s sleep, Moede said the store can help people find the perfect mattress for them that will leave them well rested.

“If you’re not on a bed that properly supports you, your back muscles are tense all night long,” he said. “Therefore, that’s when you’ll wake up with the back aches with the cramps. You just don’t get as good a night’s sleep.”

BACK IN TIME ‘Somewhere in France’ WWI letters home from Woodburn soldiers

By Lynnette Davis Contributor

Part two of two.

Isaac Davis was the youngest son of Daniel and [Laura] Ann (Wayman) Davis.

Isaac Davis was 37 when he enlisted on May 28, 1917, in Company B, Iowa Infantry, later 168th Infantry, famed Rainbow Division.

He had previously served in the Spanish-American War. His family had moved to the Woodburn area in 1901, where they engaged in farming and stock raising under the firm name Daniel Davis and Sons.

Sept and Oct, Camp Mills. I got some Kodak pictures today and will send them in this letter.

May (sister) seems to think we’ve got a big job ahead of us but I do not believe we’ll see the front line trenches. We have all wool clothing now and are fully equipped.

Somewhere in France, December 1917. Was out on rifle range one afternoon and made the best score of any one in our platoon.

These rifles do not kick as bad as the old springfields. Rec’d a letter from Fred (brother) today asking about my insurance. The 2000 policy is to be paid in Feb. Keep it paid up till I get home. My war risk is paid out of my wages each month.

Undated fragment. We got our gas masks two of them and a steel helmet this week. I am in a hand grenade squad now but will try to get into a rifle squad.

Jan. 6, 1918. I got 48 hrs of Military Police duty i.e. we are on a post 6 hrs and off 18 hrs. Several of our men are in the hospital with the mumps. All of our boys seem to think that Ia is the best country they have seen yet.

Jan. 28. Most of the Xmas packages sent to our boys come here. I got a piece of cake and some gum from my Sammy backer. Unless the war ends soon we may get closer to the front pretty soon. That does not worry us here we sleep just as good as in the states.

Isaac died in battle in Lorraine, France, March 6, 1918.

His duty was to stand where he could warn them of the enemy’s approach and could give the signal when seeing the dread cloud of poison gas.

He was called to leave his post of danger several times and seek shelter but refused. Isaac was killed by a high powered shell. He was buried in Baccarat, France, with the service read

Clarke cruises for third straight state appearance

By SCOTT VICKER

a rewarding feeling to know the kids worked this hard to get in this position to make it back to Fort Dodge,” Clarke head coach Lindsay Diehl said. “It felt like we were in the driver’s seat the whole time.”

Clarke flipped momentum early and stayed in the driver’s seat the remainder of the game, keeping its foot on the throttle.

Saydel loaded the bases in the top of the first inning, but sophomore pitcher Sydnee Redman induced a comebacker to end the inning.

Clarke started the bottom half of the inning with four straight singles, combined with a Saydel error, taking a 3-0 lead. Sara Andrew and Amanda Kindred each drove in a run in the inning.

“I felt like we were setting the tone of the game,” said Andrew, who finished 3-for3 with three RBI. “That’s what we did. We wanted to let them know the Indians are here and we’re out to win this game.”

Roadrunners rally to advance to state Murray’s quest ends in 9-1 regional loss

By JAKE WADDINGHAM Special to the OST

URBANDALE — Leading 1-0 with two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Interstate 35 was one play away from its first trip to the state softball tournament since 2005.

But the celebration was put on hold.

Madrid’s Mariesa Maceda roped a line drive into left field that was mishandled, allowing teammate Jordyn Achenbach to tie the game 1-1 and extend the Class 2A Region 7 Final into the eighth inning.

“She (Maceda) is a scrappy hitter and she is not a true lefty, we turned her into that this year,” said Madrid head coach Whitney Boaz. “I told her to put the ball in play and make them make a play … if they make the play and get the out, that is how you want to go down, you don’t want to go down striking out.”

Maceda advanced to sec-

ond on the play, but the Roadrunners eliminated the threat with a fly out to send the game into extra innings.

“In the seventh inning, we were one pitch away … It would have been easy to quit right there,” said I-35 head coach Tim Bogs. “We knew that if we got good swings, we would be OK.” The Roadrunner offense was shorthanded with its third and fourth batters out of the lineup. Designated player Lily Miller was out of the state with a travel team and third baseman Riley Morris suffered a broken hand in Friday’s Region 7 semifinal victory against Van Meter.

Morris had a successful surgery Monday, but will miss the remainder of the season.

“We work pretty hard on swinging the bat,” Bogs said.

“The only thing we continue to talk about is if the pitcher is throwing outside, we need to hit it to the outside.”

I-35 found an offensive

spark after Kate Stanley drew a walk and Slye Richardson took a pitch off the helmet to get on base for the Roadrunners in the eighth inning. With two outs, Shai Major drove a pitch into right center field, for the eventual game-winning RBI, 3-1.

Carlyn Stanley picked up the victory from the circle for I-35, striking out nine Madrid batters. The Roadrunners improved to 25-7 for the season.

“I was so proud of everybody,” Carlyn Stanley said.

“I knew when that ball (the final out) went up in the air my teammates were behind me.”

The victory sets up a matchup with Fort Dodge St. Edmond in the first round of the State Softball Tournament Tuesday, July 11 at 1 p.m. Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge.

Lynnville-Sully makes third straight trip to state

By LARRY PETERSON OST sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

PLEASANTVILLE — There will be no 10th anniversary state tournament appearance for the Murray Lady Mustangs.

Instead, fourth-ranked Lynnville-Sully will go to Fort Dodge for the third straight year — and fourth state qualification in five years — after a 9-1 victory over Murray in the Class 1A Region 6 finals here Monday night.

Murray, making its fourth regional final appearance under coach Danny Jensen in 35 years, was hoping to duplicate the school’s only state tournament appearance in 2005.

It was a 3-1 game through five innings against the speedy Hawks lineup, which featured 185 stolen bases in 37 games.

But the Hawks added four runs in the sixth, including a two-run homer by third baseman Brenna Lanser, to open up a 7-1 lead. Then two more runs crossed in the seventh on an error that would have ended the inning on a grounder back to the pitcher, inflating the final margin to 9-1.

Lanser also had a big game defensively at third, finishing with seven assists for the Hawks.

Jensen’s squad closes the season at 27-5.

“The other four games we lost, we were in all of them until the very end,” Jensen said. “Tonight we survived the first five innings. But their speed game killed us. Their hitters are pretty dang good, and (Madison) Rasmusson is a pretty tough pitcher. She kept the ball down and in on our hands, hence all of the ground balls to the left side. Their third

“We were trying to get kids to be comfortable with diving and know what ball you can and know what ball you can’t,” Diehl said. “She did it a couple of times at practice and that’s the first time she’s done it in a game.

For an eighth-grader to step up and make that play right there, they could have got a lot of momentum going right there.”

Redman induced a grounder to Bakley at shortstop, who stepped on second base for the force out to end the game.

“The first two years it was

kind of a big deal,” Bakley said about going to state.

“But now it’s just like it’s Clarke softball, it’s something we do. We’re there all the time.”

The Lady Indians, now 20-17 for the season, open the Class 3A state tournament against top-ranked Solon (39-3), 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21 on Mittera Field at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge St. Edmond (257) is ranked first in the final Class 2A state softball poll.

ing each other up and it was a great game.”

Bogs said the goal was to work ahead of batters and go for strikeouts with Stanley’s rise ball, but late in the game, their strategy shifted to mainly fastballs and relying on the Roadrunner defense to make plays.

“They earned it and that is what good teams do,” Boaz said. “They have really good hitters … we were trying to get them to hit pitches that we wanted them to hit to get ground ball and fly ball outs.”

In the third inning, Carlyn Stanley singled with two outs. Allyson Young came

Devin Wills walked after two outs were recorded and on as a courtesy runner and stole second base. Dustan scored on a double by Kate Stanley to put the Roadrunners up 1-0.

Madrid threatened to score with two runners on in the fourth, but during a ground ball, Brittany Richards collided with I-35’s Richardson and was called for interference.

“I would take anything for this team, even if it is a couple knockdowns,” Richardson said.

Bogs said the game was a true test of each player stepping up into her role on the team.

Madrid finishes the year with a record of 17-14.

Van Loon followed with a double to left field, scoring both Johnson and Wills to put the Indians up 3-0.

The three runs were plenty of support for starting pitcher Zach Harmsen, who pitched a gem for the Indians.

Harmsen pitched a complete game three-hitter, issuing only one walk and striking out 10.

Panorama left runners stranded in scoring position in the third inning and then Harmsen picked off a runner at first base in the fourth inning. With the bases loaded in the fifth inning and only one out, Harmsen got a strikeout and forced a popup to Gable Reece at shortstop to end the inning and the scoring threat.

Clarke added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning when Van Loon beat out an infield single with one out and stole second base before advancing to third base on a passed ball. Another

passed ball allowed Van Loon to score for the final 4-0 margin.

Harmsen worked a quick three up, three down inning in the seventh inning to put the game away.

Van Loon finished the g a m e 2-for-4 with one run, one s t o l e n base and two RBI. Johnson went 2-3 Van Loon with an RBI. Reed Kale finished 1-3 with a triple. Witt and Trevor Kirkpatrick each finished 1-3.

Clarke and Interstate 35 have met twice previously this season, with Interstate 35 winning both contests.

The Roadrunners won 7-4 on June 20 in the Subway Tournament hosted by Clarke and then won 8-7 on July 7 in Truro.

“She runs the ball in on your hands pretty darn good, and her changeup is kind of nasty,” Jensen said.

“Murray has power in the lineup,” Alberts said. “We knew we had to keep them off balance. That was our key. Madison’s changeup was working well, and that really helps. Murray has a very nice young team. They’ll be back.”

As a veteran of the United States Navy and Air Force, Robert “Bob” Horton, 83, has quite a few stories to tell about his life experiences.

However, Horton’s story begins in Osceola, where he was born and raised. Horton graduated from high school in 1948, and joined the Navy when he was 17, but had to wait until he was 18 to be sworn in.

After Horton completed basic training, there was no position available in the Naval Aviation Cadets for six to 10 months.

Family starts donation collection for victims of Colorado flooding

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Imagine losing everything you had in a flood.

That’s what people in Colorado are currently experiencing with September’s flooding.

“I don’t think people really realize how devastating it is when it hits a canyon like that, because the water has nowhere to go,” said Angela Haskell of Winterset. “I know we have floods here, and it’s horrible, but we’re flatter, so it kind of disperses. There, it comes down like a wall and it just takes everything out.”

Haskell and her family are trying to help those who have lost so much by collecting canned good and nonperishable food items.

Donation boxes have been set up at Southwestern Community College (SWCC) in Osceola, Creston and Red Oak. Great Western Bank in Osceola is a drop-off site for donations, too.

Haskell is a SWCC student, and her mother Karen Samson is an Osceola resident. The family’s first load has already been driven to Colorado. A second load will be driven to the state in another week.

2013 flood In Colorado, the natural disaster began Sept. 9 with a slow-moving cold front that stalled across the state. The cold front soon clashed with warm, humid monsoonal air coming in from the south.

The result was heavy rain and intense flooding along the state’s front range from Colorado Springs north to Fort Collins.

As days went by, the situation intensified with Boulder County, Colo., being the worst hit. Flood waters have spread across a range of almost 200 miles with 17 counties affected by the disaster.

Many roads and highways have been washed out and destroyed.

At least 1,750 people and 300 pets have been rescued

Helping hands in Haiti Weston Brokaw, Sue and Kooper Brimm share story of Haitian service trip

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

“Life-changing.”

That’s how Sue Brimm, a staff member at Clarke Community High School, described her experience in Haiti this summer.

Sue was a group chaperone for a service trip her son Kooper Brimm, 15, and Weston Brokaw, 16, completed in Haiti from June 12-22.

Kooper and Weston are both members of Clarke’s FFA chapter.

The program the boys participated in was through the Sioux Central FFA chapter. They were with other students from across the Midwest helping to construct Sukup SafeTHomes, which look like grain-bin houses.

To be selected for the service trip, the boys had to answer a three-ques-

tion essay about why they should be picked to help build homes in Haiti.

Earthquake In 2010, a major earthquake struck Haiti with the country’s capital Portau-Prince near the the center of the destruction. It was estimated 316,000 people died, 300,000 were injured and 1 million were left homeless by the disaster.

Kooper said the experience was fun, but there was a lot of work to do.

“Right when we got down there and stepped out of the airport, it was really different and kind of scary, a little bit, because all you could see for awhile was just people. It’s all people,” Kooper said. “Once we got driving around, it was pretty crazy to see the rivers of Styrofoam that were Please see HAITI Page 4

Sukup SafeTHomes Sukup Safe T Homes are engineered structures suitable for all phases of recovery effort.

They can provide shelter for 10 or more people and are resistant to moisture and termites.

They are built with a double heat-shield roof and screened-in lockable windows and doors.

The design can withstand 130 miles-per-hour winds and is virtually earthquake proof.

The homes are 20-gauge galvanized steel with a 70-year life span. The sidewalls are 8 feet high and the overall structure stands 13.5 feet from floor to roof peak.

Each unit incorporates two windows and a double-roof system to deflect heat. The cost of each home is $5,700.

by air and ground.

So far, eight people have died and six are still missing. Damages from the natural disaster are estimated at more than $1 billion.

1976 flood Even though Haskell and her family are a couple of states away from the flooding in Colorado, the situation still hits close to home for them. They are collecting items in memory of family members who died in the July 31, 1976, Big Thompson Canyon flood in Colorado.

The Big Thompson flood is Colorado’s deadliest flash flood in recorded history with 143 deaths.

“We lost six people that year, so this is our way of giving back to the people who are suffering now,” Haskell said. “We may not have money to do anything financially, really, but we’re volunteering to drive the material goods out to the food banks, and also to the shelters out there.”

Recommended Recommended donations items are food, diapers, pet food and other animal supplies. Haskell said a lot of material goods and clothing have already been supplied to those in need.

Hampton receives Lifetime Presidential Volunteer Service award For his more than 10,000 hours of service to his community, Jerry Hampton received the Lifetime Presidential Volunteer Service award at a surprise reception on Saturday, June 27, at Graceland University’s Carol Hall.

Surrounded by more than 50 family members and friends, a modest Hampton listened to Jesse Bollinger, director of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Graceland Uni-

versity’s Affiliate Relations department, describe his contributions.

“For over a half century, Jerry has stepped forward and offered his services to so many organizations and people locally and regionally,” Bollinger said. “Just a few examples include Hospice of Central Iowa, Des Moines Festival of Trees, pastoral care for prisoners, church activities, RSVP, and the John Stoddard Cancer Center.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award is offered in multiple levels and is designed to recognize each milestone of service achievement. Levels include bronze, silver, gold and the highest honor, the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for those who contribute more than 4,000 hours of service

in their lifetime.

Along with the honor of presidential recognition, recipients receive a personalized certificate, official pin, medallion or coin and congratulatory letter from the president of the United States.

Hampton attended Graceland University in the 1950’s returning as member of the faculty in 1960.

Over the years, he has been a fixture on the sidelines of the many sports he has

coached.

In addition to those sidelines, he also made his mark in the classroom with his students.

“Even students who weren’t on one of his teams or in his class felt his positive influence,” Bollinger said. “And, of course, Jerry’s Pizza Shack became the place for students to socialize and make memories and for alums to return to share those memories whenever they come back

You and me against the world?

By Fr. David Polich St. Bernard Church

Recently Tom and Anne Murr celebrated 50 years of marriage. Tom, among many other things, pastors the Woodburn Methodist Church.

Their significant accomplishment makes one think about what makes a good and lasting marriage. I have witnessed hundreds of marriages but never been married.

However, I often trust in the wisdom of the great philosopher Yogi Berra, who once said, “You can observe a lot by watching.”

Who can argue with that? So I have watched a lot and observed a thing or two.

One couple preparing for marriage many years ago wanted in their ceremony the song “You and Me Against the World.”

I suggested that didn’t quite jibe with the Christian concept of matrimony, in which God is the most important component.

In addition, in Christian marriage a couple make their vows before the community and take their place as part of that community. They will live out their lives in union but not in isolation.

Most of the couples whom I consider to have great marriages also allow that love for one another to flow out to all others — in family, the workplace, their neighborhood and often far beyond.

They also have realized their need for the support of religious congregations and others to be faithful spouses, parents and believers. They can both give and receive, and all will be the stronger for it.

When in college I was amazingly lucky — graced, actually — to find myself in the midst of a group of friends who were very good people. Most of them married, and most are still married after 40 years or more.

For our generation that is a record seldom matched. Why the longevity? Some things were not of their choosing: comJ.R. Wheeler, pastor, 641-3423121. Sunday - 9:00 a.m. God’s Service. 10:15 a.m. - Sunday School. Wednesday - 7:30 p.m. Elders & Deacons meeting.

to Graceland.”

“Because Jerry does not seek recognition for what he does, I know he would want this message to be one that encourages others to take action, get involved, and help out.” Greg Sutherland, Graceland University’s executive director of affiliate relations, said. “At the same time, Jerry’s efforts set him apart from his peers. Receiving this award is a tremendous honor – an honor well earned.”

ing from stable family backgrounds, strong faith backgrounds and opportunities for education.

The grew up learning they were, wonderfully, children of God. They also learned God has other children and none of us individually is the center of the universe.

They treated others well and sought to share God’s gifts of time and talents with whomever they could. Many entered into helping professions. Most became active in parishes and the communities where they settled. They made conscious decisions to heed Christ’s commandment of love.

None of this may seem to have anything to do specifically with marriage. These friends sought their strength from God, were giving people and made their commitments to God and humanity for the long haul.

If they were this way throughout their lives, they certainly would be this way with that special person with whom they would fall in love. And as they were swallowed up in the magic of romance, they also knew that the part of love which endures is the love that is a decision, not just something that happens to you when you aren’t looking.

Tom and Anne probably should have been the ones to write this article — but it was my turn!

Once a newspaperman attended the anniversary party of a co-worker and remarked that anniversaries are truly worth celebrating, whereas wedding days are more of a shot in the dark. But, when built on the foundation of Christ, willing to be disciples of the Lord, and ready to both give and forgive, couples can and do find that Saint Paul’s words remain true — real love does not come to an end.

Congratulations to those celebrating anniversaries and weddings during the summer months. God bless you.

NEWS For Clarke, Branstad’s veto ‘just doesn’t cut it’ THURSDAY • JULY 16, 2015

After a long-fought school funding battle at the Iowa State House and Senate, Gov. Branstad vetoed a bill that would have given Iowa schools additional funding for the upcoming year.

The proposed $55.7 million funding would have been distributed to schools as a one-time effort to help manage budgets already bursting at the seams.

Clarke Community Schools Superintendent Steve Seid commented about the effect the veto will have on the district, as well as how they plan to move forward with reduced financial support from the state.

“I had gone to the legislature four times, discussing with them the importance of

school funding. When they found a happy medium with this one-time money, I felt very confident it was going to be a plus for the school district,” he said.

Seid went on to explain how the district had build budget projections for the upcoming year with that money in mind — items like textbooks for a new science curriculum and basic student support.

With the veto, Branstad pulled more than $159,000 from the budget, forcing Seid and the Clarke Community School Board to rethink how to fund future programs for their students.

Seid said, “With the 1.25 percent that we are now getting, that equates to $80.00

per student. With the cost of living, school supplies and all of the things needed to have a school function, $80.00 per student just doesn’t cut it.”

The future of the school funding bill is still unknown.

Rumblings of a special session to go back to the bargaining table have made the rounds.

Democrats recently called for a special legislative session in an effort to override the vetoes Branstad issued for education funding and funding for a state mental health institute.

House Democrats initiated the call to action, and Sen. Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said Senate Democrats would also join the effort.
