Four candidates vie for council’s at-large seat

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

The Osceola SentinelTribune sent out questionnaires to the four candidates for Osceola City Council’s open at-large seat.

The special election for the at-large seat is Tuesday, Aug. 5.

The four candidates are Douglas Gay, Brian McKnight, Dennis Page and Sarah Truitt.

These are the candidate responses in alphabetical order.

Douglas Gay Tell me about yourself, your background.

In June of 2007, I made my departure from Florida to Iowa. In 2009, I met my future wife Chanell S. Hill, a Clarke Elementary sixthgrade teacher. On July 31, 2010, we married.

We now have two beautiful children. Our daughter Natalie is two and ahalf years old and our son Aaron is seven and a-half months.

For the past two and ahalf years, I have been a stay at home dad. Before that, the restaurant industry was my primary profession.

Conservative values are a major reflection of who I am. My family’s new church home is LifePoint Assembly of God. Until July 12 of this year, I was serving as a Royal Ranger

Commander for Corydon Assembly of God for five years.

Our family has only lived here for a short time, however, this will be our hometown where our children will grow up.

Why are you running?

I am running for city council because I would like the people of Osceola to have confidence in their governing body. The community needs to see their voice being heard and listened to, as well.

For the past 14 years, I have seen an aggressively rapid transformation in our governing systems. Our legislature no longer acts on the people’s voice, but their own. Our judiciary (branch) makes determinations based on their political bias, not the law. And, our executive (branch) acts as a monarchy making executive actions bypassing Congress.

While I may feel like the majority of Americans are powerless to all of that, I know at the city level there is a difference that can be made. If elected, it will be my goal to make the community of Osceola’s voice be heard.

What are the major issues the city of Osceola is currently facing?

Harkin welcomes federal disaster designation for nine Iowa counties Senator Tom Harkin, D-IA, issued the following statement upon learning that President Obama had approved a Federal Disaster Designation for Adams, Clarke, Decatur, Mills, Montgomery, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Taylor and Wayne counties.

The designation ensures that federal assistance is available for these counties, which were impacted by severe storms, tornadoes, winds, and flooding that occurred June 3-4, 2014. Harkin sent letters to President Obama and Craig Fugate, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), on July 8 urging federal support for the disaster assistance requested

by Gov. Terry Branstad.

“While we cannot prevent natural disasters, we can

help communities recover and rebuild from these disasters,” Harkin said. “That is what this federal disaster designation is all about: helping Iowa communities in one of their greatest times of need. I applaud the Obama administration’s swift action to grant this designation and give Iowa counties access to the resources they need to recover.”

The designation also means that all Iowa counties are eligible for the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which provides grants to states and local governments to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major disaster declaration. Harkin was the chief sponsor of legislation that greatly expanded the program following the floods of 1993.

Within Iowa, Greenberg has worked with the communities of Ames, Bedford, Burlington, Cedar Falls, Corning, Dubque, Fairfield, Grinnell, Iowa Falls, Keokuk, Mason City, Osceola, Oskaloosa, Washington, Waterloo, Waverly and Woodbine.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CANDIDATES:

Courage in leadership

By Tom Murr Osceola

In 1978, Alexander I. Solzhenitsyn, a Russian writer, was invited to give the commencement address at Harvard.

In this speech he said, “A decline in courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the west today. The western world has lost its civic courage, both as a whole and separately, in each country, in each government, in each political party, and, of course, in the United Nations. Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling and intellectual elites, causing an impression of a loss of courage by the entire society. There are many courageous individuals, but they have no determining influence on public life.”

Following the commencement address, he was widely criticized for his thoughts. But 38 years later, did he see what we did not want to see then or now? It has been said that someone was ahead of his or her time.

Have we lost our “courage” in the role of leaders today? Though that time was 38 years ago, perhaps, we have not prepared our leaders for this time in history with the “courage” to direct our nation. In our lack of courage, are we devoting too much time and discussion to issues that are “fatal ones.”

Pew Research recently released a poll that showed only 56 percent of Americans were proud to be Americans. Has that been the result of lost “courage” in our leader over the last 38 years?

The loss of “courage” at the top of our leadership is now influencing the next generations. The loss of “courage” leaves our nation meandering in all directions without distinct goals.

Continued from Page 1

The reason to be a leader will be shown in the courage to set the direction for a business, in social work or in our government. As we are maundering all over the place as a nation, perhaps this is the time for the president to step forward with “courage.”

Little more than 50 years ago, the former President Kennedy wrote a book entitled, “Profiles in Courage.”

Kennedy examined the courageous decisions made by eight senators that shaped our nation’s future. If you’ve never read this book, I urge you get copy and read it.

It would be a courageous act by the president to bring together the party leaders at the White House for a long working session (all night) on the serious domestic problems and foreign policy problems. It would be a daring and courageous decision that would shape our future as Americans.

It could result in breaking the “deadlock.” This act would challenge the leaders to put aside “labels” and “special interest groups” and help America to move forward as a team. Successful teams can accomplish any task.

Once, my father brought two young black mares for workhorses.

The only problem was they had never been in the harness. The mares did not understand how to pull together to move a load.

Right now, America lacks the “courage” to pull together for the future of all Americans.

A retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army made a comment to a young second lieutenant, “Sometimes you have to stand your ground and pick your ditch to die in.”

We need “courage” in American leadership for this nation to go forward as a great nation. I believe America is a great nation.

Thank you emergency personnel

Everyday men and women answer the call for help, whether paid or volunteer. They are there rain, cold (or) heat. Many of meals missed and fam-

seat in the November 2013 election.

However, in early May, he resigned from his seat citing various reasons.

The city council scheduled a special election for Tuesday, Aug. 5, to fill the at-large seat.

There are four candidates running in the election:

• Dennis Page • Sarah Truitt • Brian McKnight • Douglas Gay Once elected, the new at-large council member would hold the seat through the remainder of Schaff’s term, which is through December 2017.

Loebsack representative to hold office hours Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, will have a member of his staff in southern Iowa for open office hours. Dien Judge, Loebsack’s district representative, will be in Osceola.

Judge will be on hand to work with individuals who are having difficulty with a government agency, have suggestions for Loebsack or would just like to share their concerns.

project, the Kading development project and some of our city streets, which are in poor condition.

The reservoir project is a primary need because of the necessity of water supply and demand. However, I do not know if procuring the land by way of eminent domain was the right answer.

The Kading duplex project is an issue because, on one hand, it will facilitate the need for more housing, on the other, I am not convinced this is the answer.

The city streets are an issue because many of them have separations, gaps and big potholes.

While I know the city has been working on this issue, I believe we can do better.

If elected, what would you hope to accomplish in the remainder of the at-large term?

I would like the issues currently at hand to come to completion during my term. It is also my goal to gain the trust and confidence of the citizens of Osceola by meeting their needs with these issues.

Also, I would like to continue speaking and listening to the people about future issues that may arise. After that, I would like to work with the presiding council to get things accomplished.

Brian McKnight Tell me about yourself, your background.

I’ve been a resident of Clarke County since 1991 and later graduated from Clarke Community High School. My family has been part of this community for many years prior to that time.

I’m a family man with growing children currently in our schools.

I’ve served in the Marines for one tour.

I am your average, every day, working-class man.

Why are you running?

I’m running because there is a need to have our community and residents represented in order to find what’s in the best interest of Osceola.

What are the major issues the city of Osceola is currently facing?

One of the biggest issues is I don’t feel that our residents are informed enough about what is going on in our town.

We need to find a way to bring more jobs to our community, as well as meeting the growing demand for housing needs.

If elected, what would you hope to accomplish in the remainder of the at-large term?

As a council member, I would like to bring awareness to the community, as well as acting as a voice for the people.

Dennis Page Tell me about yourself, your background.

I grew upon a farm six miles south of Osceola. I graduated from Clarke Community High

School in 1964 and attended the University of Iowa from 1964-70.

My job took me to Illinois in 1971 and I returned to Osceola in 1991 to care for my mother and manage the Hardee’s that was opening.

I have either managed, supervised or owned businesses most of my working life.

Laurie Crawford and I married in 1996. I retired at the end of 2011, but that didn’t last long.

I’ve been driving a trolley for Southern Iowa Trolley the last two and a-half years.

Why are you running?

I felt it was time to give back to the community that helped raise me. My background in management, accounting, insurance and labor relations should help with budgeting and keeping within those budgets.

We have a lot of fixed income individuals who live in Osceola, so we need to keep the cost of services and taxes down for them, as well as everyone else.

What are the major issues the city of Osceola is currently facing?

We (Osceola) need to increase our revenues, while at the same time, keeping our costs down.

One way to do that is to increase our tax base with some new industries. We can’t do that with our present water situation.

While the city council doesn’t generally handle any business regarding the project, the mayor does sit on the reservoir commission. The city council needs to give him our input to try to help get a new water source.

The sewer system is another area the council is working on and will need ongoing attention in the coming years.

The landfill continues to be a drain of city funds, as are smaller, but important, entities, which the city supports.

The Village is losing some funding and will need help to find replacement money to service its debt.

The city’s facilities need upgrading, but the funds don’t appear to be available at this time.

There are still streets that need to be paved and some that are in need of major repairs. Sidewalks are in poor condition in a lot of areas of town, or don’t exist at all, forcing people to take to the streets to walk or push strollers.

If elected, what would you hope to accomplish in the remainder of the at-large term?

I would strive to bring more affordable housing to Osceola without giving away the farm, so to speak. Don’t provide too large of abatements because we still need to keep improving our tax base.

Things I would like to see completed, or at least moving in that direction are the train depot, sewer projects, a dependable water source, streets and sidewalks and the downtown rehabilitation.

The city council has done so many wonderful improvements over the last few decades. I

would like to use my abilities to help continue with the growth and beautification of Osceola.

Sarah Truitt Tell me about yourself, your background.

I grew up in Joplin, Mo., and met my husband in college in Kirksville, Mo. In 2005, we moved here and purchased the home where we still live on the east side of town. We have two daughters (ages 4 and 1) and I currently stay home with them.

I plan to pursue my career in education once they are both in school.

Why are you running?

I’m running for city council because I believe that Osceola is at a critical turning point right now.

The community is growing and facing a lot of change. I previously served on the council here for almost three years and am familiar with the staff and the way our city functions.

It is critical for the city council to be comprised of members who represent the population equally, demographically speaking. As a young female, I am in tune with key issues facing our young families and children, who are the future of Osceola. In 30 years, we must still have citizens as vested in our community as our citizens are now.

What are the major issues the city of Osceola is currently facing?

Osceola is currently facing lots of important issues.

Our population is changing and we must work on integrating in order to move forward.

I hear lots of people complain about the appearance of our community. I agree that we need to do some work. We need a restored sense of pride about our property in general, I believe.

We have some of the best local businesses in southern Iowa, but we need to support them by spending our money locally.

As a young parent, I am aware of the needs that families have for recreation, fitness, and overall quality of life. This is another area on which we need to focus if we intend to attract people to our community.

We need good-paying jobs and moderately priced single-family homes. Last, but certainly not least, we need water. It is crucial for us to move forward with plans for a new reservoir to serve the city’s residents and businesses alike.

If elected, what would you hope to accomplish in the remainder of the at-large term?

One thing that I am especially passionate about is increasing the public’s participation in all of the local government’s activities.

Elected officials need direction from the people who live here and the businesses who provide for them.

I also hope to improve the overall morale of Osceola by helping businesses, organizations and individuals work together to accomplish great things.

As a single person, I can accomplish nothing. It is only with the help of our city staff, council members and constituents that I hope to contribute to positive change within our community.

WALKOFF REPLAY Bakley’s hit sends Clarke back to state

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

WINTERSET — The Clarke softball team advanced to the State Softball Tournament for the second straight year, in almost the exact same fashion it advanced to last year’s state tournament.

Last year it was Kennedy Crees coming up with the walkoff hit in the bottom of the seventh inning, and this year it was freshman Vanessa Bakley who gave the Lady Indians a 4-3 win over ADM here Monday in the Class 3A Region 8 final.

Walkoff Amanda Kindred started a one-out rally for Clarke in the bottom of the seventh, blooping a single over the head of ADM first baseman Caitlyn Gruening.

That brought up the top of the Clarke order, and head coach Lindsay Diehl elected to have leadoff batter Kennedy Crees, the team’s leading hitter, sacrifice bunt pinch runner Mackenzi Otto into scoring position.

That decision paid off.

No. 2 hitter Vanessa Bakley, with two outs and down to her final strike, delivered with a fly ball into left-center field, that was glanced off the glove of ADM left fielder Gabbie Glenn, dropping to the ground.

Diehl was waving Otto home from the moment

the ball met Bakley’s bat, and she scored easily, sending the Clarke dugout into a frenzy as the remaining Lady Indians spilled onto the field to congratulate Bakley.

“I felt like what she gave me, I was going to go with it,” Bakley said about her approach to ADM pitcher Molly Jacobsen, the state leader in strikeouts. “ Y o u ’ v e Bakley just got to play the game one pitch at a time.

That’s what we did tonight and it just goes to show that if you never give up, things will come out your way.”

Diehl said knowing Bakley was coming to the plate made the decision to have Crees bunt easy.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Vanessa Bakley to come up,” Diehl said. “She’s just a gamer all the time. I love this kid so much. Let her have this moment. And she did. Wow. That was amazing. I was screaming and jumping up and down the whole way home again.”

Late rally Just like last year’s win over West Burlington Notre Dame in the regional final, the third-ranked Lady Indians needed to come from

behind to win the game.

ADM held a 3-0 lead over Clarke going into the bottom of the sixth inning.

Senior Libby Bemis drew a one-out walk that got things going for the Clarke offense. Senior Devon Carson followed with a single up the middle.

Then, senior Carley Robins sent a two-strike pitch into left field for a two-run double that cut the Tigers’ lead to 3-2.

“On my previous two at-bats, I got a hit on two strikes,” Robins said. “I had two strikes when I got that hit, so I was extremely confident. I just waited for my pitch, because she kept throwing down the middle and I just drove it to left field.

“She was being consistent with her pitch count.

I figured it was going to be inside or down the middle, and she threw it down the middle.”

Robins ended up on third base after the throw home from the outfield, and then scored when Kassidy Spurgin reached base on an error, making the score 3-3.

Robins wasn’t done making an impact on the game, though.

Clarke found itself in a jam in the top of the seventh inning, as the first two batters of the inning reached base.

Bemis struck out Jacobsen for the first out of the

Roadrunners fall to PCM

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

TRURO — Class 3A sixth-ranked Interstate 35 saw its season end here Friday in an 11-1 loss to PCM in a Class 3A Region 7 semifinal matchup.

The Mustangs advanced to a regional final with West Burlington Notre Dame, which defeated PCM 6-4 on Monday for the right to go to state.

“We can be disappointed in the way we played tonight, but not disappointed in the season,” Interstate 35 head coach Tim Bogs said. “We had a pretty good season.”

The Roadrunners finished the season with a mark of 22-4.

PCM had runners in scoring position in each inning, scoring in all but the second and third innings.

Interstate 35, meanwhile, only advanced runners into scoring position in the fifth and seventh innings. The Roadrunners loaded in the fifth inning with one out, but failed to score. They also had the bases loaded in the seventh inning, but a double play on a lineout double play.

“They hit the ball a lot better than we thought,” Bogs said. “You could tell we were on the ropes all night long. We’ve got to do a little bit better job of keeping people off base and getting ahead in the count.”

Interstate 35 scored its only run of the game in the seventh inning, when freshman Slye Richardson

a line drive into left field.

ADM head coach Rick Dillinger waved Gabbie Glenn home on the play, but Robins came up throwing home.

Robins delivered a strike that reached home plate with Glenn just more than halfway down the line. Spurgin sat waiting for Glenn and held onto the ball as Glenn plowed through Spurgin, ending the inning on the tag.

“I wasn’t planning on throwing home,” Robins said. “I don’t know why he sent her.

I practice it all the time. And my arm doesn’t hurt today, so that helps a Robins lot.”

It was the third time Robins has thrown a runner out at home plate from left field this season, and the second time it’s saved the game for Clarke.

“I hear (assistant coach) Staci Ritchey sometimes next to me like, ‘send her, send her,’” Diehl said. “She wants them to show off her gun, because Carley has it.

And wow. Kassidy is waiting to put the tag on, where the girl even tries to tackle her behind the plate. That was huge! I can’t say enough about Carley Robins.”

Early deficit From the very beginning, Monday’s game looked like a replay of last year’s regional final game.

The first two ADM batters of the game reached base on errors, eventually leading to a run.

“You could tell even when we just first stepped out there that the nerves were going to get the best of us that first inning,” Diehl said. “After I went out there after we had a couple mistakes, I said, ‘this is exactly what we did last year. That’s all right.

We’re going to answer back. It’ll be OK.’” But Diehl said the wait for the comeback this year

was more nerve-wracking.

ADM added a run in the fifth inning when No. 9 hitter Glenn hit a solo home run to right field. The Tigers added to the lead in the sixth inning after Gruening’s double.

But Bemis didn’t let the errors or the home run rattle her. She finished the game with seven strikeouts and just two walks and four hits allowed.

“I know we’re all nervous at the beginning,” Bemis said. “We’ve got a young team. I just tell them that I believe in them. I made one bad pitch and they hit that home run, but I knew my team would have my back just like last year and we’d pull through in the end.”

Clarke improved to 24-8 for the season with the win, while ADM finishes its year at 25-11. The Lady Indians open the 2014 State Softball Tournament at 3 p.m. Monday against Spirit Lake (23-8).

not good pitch. You have to wait and wait. We didn’t do that. We were probably a little too aggressive in the first inning, and that took us out of the game.”

PCM also took advantage of four Interstate 35 errors in the game.

It was a disappointing end to the season for a Roadrunner team that advanced to the regional final last year and had won the Pride of Iowa Conference this season.

Still, with seven freshmen in the starting lineup, there’s plenty to be excited about in the future for the OST photo by SCOTT VICKER Interstate 35 senior second baseman Brooke Brommel Roadrunners. throws to first base after making a diving stop.

“We had a lot of young kids,” Bogs said. “You could tell tonight that kind of hurt us. They hadn’t really been pressed like that since the first weekend with Winterset. They started hitting the ball and we didn’t have too many answers for it.”

Hobby Lobby, religious freedom

By Pastor Sheldon Lorenson Faith Fellowship

So what does the Supreme Court’s decision in favor of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood really mean?

Well, no sooner had the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hobby Lobby case been announced than a narrative began to take shape in the mainstream media.

In this narrative, the victory for the Green and Hahn families was a defeat for American women.

In a particularly egregious example of this narrative, Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted that she could not believe that “we live in a world where we’d even consider letting big corp[oration]s deny women access to basic care based on vague moral objections.”

While, to be fair, Warren isn’t a member of the media, her take is representative of the daily misrepresentation of the court’s decision.

For instance, the “corp[oration]s” she refers to are family-owned businesses, families that include women like Barbara Green who supported the challenge to the HHS mandate.

Furthermore, no one is denying anyone “basic health care.” The decisions involve a particular group of abortioninducing drugs.

In fact, as the court noted, “the Hahns and Greens and their companies have religious reasons for providing health care coverage for their employees.”

They didn’t need the Affordable Care Act to do the right thing by their employees.

And, it’s not only health care. A recent Time magazine profile of the Greens noted the starting wage at Hobby Lobby is $15 an hour, twice the minimum wage in Oklahoma, where the company is based.

And they are, as one person quoted by Time put it, practitioners of a “radical generosity.” All of which makes talk about “vague moral objections,” well, objectionable.

The same beliefs that motivate their generosity prompted them, as a last resort, to challenge the HHS mandate in court.

An especially astute take on the case was written by Emma Green of the Atlantic Monthly.

After recounting the basic facts of the case and the legal issues decided by the court, she approvingly quotes John DiIulio of the Brookings Institution who said, “Love it or loathe it, the Hobby Lobby decision is limited in scope.”

And so, even though we continue to hear that this will allow Jehovah’s Witnesses to deny coverage of blood transfusions, that represents an ignorance of the decision in which that application was specifically ruled out.

And, it was limited in scope as to which businesses the ruling applies: closely held businesses for whom, as Time said about the Greens, “the business is the mission.” It did so in a way that explicitly foreclosed that kind of worst-case scenario bandied about by the most strident supporters of the HHS mandate.

What’s more, as Green writes, the decision doesn’t “necessarily prevent women who work at Hobby Lobby, Conestoga Wood, or other religious companies from accessing birth control through their insurance plans.”

Actually, they already could before the decision: the Greens and Hahns only objected to four abortifacients of the 20 contraceptive methods listed in the HHS Mandate.

What the decision means is that these families, and others like them, don’t have to pay for contraceptive methods that violate their conscience.

So, for starters, we should be thankful for this decision.

If HHS and the mandate’s supporters had prevailed, they would have created an entire class of people who would have to choose between following their conscience and running a business.

But be clear, what the decision does is not so much advance the cause of religious liberty as it does draw a line beyond which government cannot go in a particular area, in this case, health care.

And, there are plenty of other battles in other areas that await us. Pray for your country. It needs it.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Firecracker Fun Run a blast The first-ever Firecracker Fun Run was held on Friday, July 4, in Osceola.

Osceola Chamber Main Street put on the inaugural 5K/1 mile run/walk as a way to help people get more active in the community and to allow people something to do prior to the Fourth of July parade.

More than 100 adults and children participated. Those who had registered by June 30 were entered into a special prize drawing the day of the event.

“We were very pleased at the great turnout we had for the event,” said Chairperson Victoria Millen.

“When you start something new, especially on a holiday weekend and so early in the morning, you never know what kind of turnout to expect.”

The race registration started at 6:30 a.m. and the race began at 7a.m.

Those participants in the 5K run left the Mosaic parking lot and made their way out to Biggy’s restaurant.

They turned around at Biggy’s and made their way back to the Mosaic parking lot via a different route.

The walk-only participants left the Mosaic parking lot and made their way to Lincoln Street before coming back down Jefferson to Jackson Street and ending at the Mosaic parking lot.

“It was great to have the race and be able to get so much community support,” said Derek Lumsden, executive director of Osceola Chamber Main Street.

Controlled burn: A fire burns at the old house at RR Ranch, which is on Highway 69

south of Osceola. It was a controlled burn with Weldon Fire Department because the property is in Weldon’s fire district. The house was in bad shape to where it would’ve been unsafe to train in the house. The ranch used to be a RV park with a big Morton building that housed an underground pool. It used to be considered a local landmark.
