School board denies open enrollment request, even with racism allegations By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Editors note: Osceola Sentinel-Tribune is not naming the mother or daughter in the article. A mother wanted to take her daughter out of Clarke Community School District for a year and teach her at home through K-12 public school open enrollment, also known as CAM. She cited racism in the school district as the cause. However, the request was made after the state’s March 1 deadline for the 2014-15 school year. Clarke Superintendent Steve Seid recommended the school board deny the open enrollment request because of the fact it is a late filed application and doesn’t meet the good cause requirement for late approval.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Miller Products celebrates 50 years in Osceola By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Miller Products is as good as gold in the industry. This month, the company is celebrating its 50th, or golden, anniversary of its location in Osceola. “The longevity is kind of a special treat to be able to have stayed in business with all the competition and all of issues and all of the obstacles that get thrown at you McFarland over the years,” said Jack McFarland, president of Miller Products. “It’s quite a while to be in a community, too. It’s been very good for us.” Miller Products was founded in 1936 as a bicycle dealer and kickstand manufacturer. The business has evolved into a supplier of screw-machine products. Miller Products manufactures a line of stock nonthreaded pins. This line includes a wide range of lock, hitch, bent and tension-lock-hitch pins. In addition to its stock line, they also manufacture custom-turned machine parts. Big move Fifty years ago, Miller Products was headquartered in Des Moines. However, it was decided the state’s capital wasn’t the best location or work climate to be headquartered at the time. The options for the new Miller Products were the surrounding county-seat cities of Creston, Chariton, Osceola, Winterset, Norwalk and Perry. Eventually, the top two choices were narrowed down to Osceola and Perry. The deciding factor was a stretch of newly-opened road. “At that time, our biggest customer was in Des Moines, and just at that time in 1964, they opened and completed the first section of I-35 from Des Moines to Osceola,” McFarland said. “We knew we were going to be on that road every day making deliveries.” Staying power Not a lot has changed in 50 years. “We don’t make much noise,” McFarland said. “We’re about the same size we were when we came down here. Dollar volume is greater, but we don’t vary a lot in employment.” Their products aren’t typically used locally and are shipped out all over the country. Currently, Miller Products has approximately 40 employees. It does vary, though, from the low thirties SINGLE COPY PRICE: 75¢

in slower times to 99 employees at its peak. McFarland said there is still work to be done with Miller Products letting people know the company is a mainstay here in town. “That there is some really good opportunity,” he said. “We’re working harder now at trying to do that. But, for many, many, many years, people drove right by the plant to go get a ‘good’ job

in Des Moines. Our jobs were as good or better. But, nobody stopped.” Now, McFarland said, with the addition of other big businesses in Osceola, people will interview around town more often. Treated well There are multiple reasons Miller Please see ANNIVERSARY, Page 8

Clarke Community School District has a new curriculum director. During an Aug. 11 school board meeting, Clarke Superintendent Steve Seid recommended Lance Ridgely to fill the position of curriculum director starting Aug. 12. His annual salary and days are prorated for the 2014-15 school year based on $80,000 and 240 days. The contract is a one year contract. The curriculum director is an administrative position. The board approved Ridgely’s contract during the meeting.

When the emergency call was made, Miller Products came to the rescue. The year was 2010 and a man-made disaster was occurring — the BP oil rig explosion and spill in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. The BP oil spill, which killed 11 people, is considered the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. To stop the flow of oil, professionals needed something they couldn’t find — a special oil boom pin. That’s where Miller Products stepped in. The pin Jack McFarland, president of Miller Products, said the company is well known around the globe because of the Internet and marketing as a manufacture of special pins and fasteners. Miller Products received a phone call shortly after the oil spill from an engineer who was looking for a special oil boom pin that was used in a cuppler, which was used for every 50 feet of boom. Boom is the absorbent floated all the way around the spill — by many, many miles. “There were none of these special pins in the world, apparently,” McFarland said. “We didn’t make it as a standard pin, but yes, we would be glad to quote it and make it as a special for that application. We literally went from a phone call on Thursday afternoon to production by Tuesday, delivering parts two and three times a day to the airport in Des Moines to be shipped to the user.” Ramping up production A week and a-half after the call, Miller Products was producing 1,000 special pins a day. Employees were working 10-12 hours a day, plus putting time in on Saturdays. By the end of the second and third weeks, they were producing 2,000 special pins a day and working 16 hour days and Saturdays. Miller Products also has a shop in Tucson, Ariz., and work on the special pins was being done there, too. This meant that eventually 3,000 oil boom pins were being produced a day.

In April, Ridgely was named one of the top three candidates in the search for the Clarke superintendent position. The position was awarded to Seid. “Do you think this is a good choice?” asked Steve O’Tool, Clarke school board member, during the meeting. “Yes. We’ve had more than conversation,” Seid said. “The last conversation that we had with Lance included the administrative team, with the exception of Please see RIDGELY, Page 4

Monday’s meeting During the Aug. 11 school board meeting, Seid said there wasn’t enough documentation in the daughter’s file to show racism. Seid said there wasn’t due cause for late approval because of not having enough documentation to show an extensive continuation of bullying or reflecting a pattern of discrimination. “There should’ve been documentation because I was in the school so many times, and that my daughter wrote a letter stating exactly what happened with names, places, the comments, everything, and it’s not in her file,” the mother said. “There should’ve been plenty of documentation.” According to the mother, there was a fight with her

FOR THE RECORD

Agriculture literacy efforts take center stage in new statewide organization A new, statewide organization was launched recently aimed at helping Iowans understand more about how and where their food and fuel is produced. Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation (IALF), with a primary focus on youths, is a collaboration of business, education and the agriculture industry to promote agriculture literacy and its global significance in Iowa schools. “It is an exciting time to be involved in agriculture right now,” said IALF Chairwoman Joyce Hoppes with the Iowa Pork Producers Association. “Students have the chance to pursue exciting careers in agriculture and Iowa is at the heart of agriculture innovation, but that starts with knowing what opportunities are available. It is this next generation that is going to be challenged with feeding the world’s growing population and finding new energy sources through raw agriculture assets. It’s important to have a core understanding of those opportunities and the issues that will set them up for future success.” IALF will serve as a centralized resource to help

increase the knowledge and awareness of today’s agriculture and its importance to students. “The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation has been amplifying agriculture literacy efforts for many years and this new not-for-profit will continue to expand on those efforts,” said IALF Executive Director Will Fett. “Some regions in Iowa have successful, long-standing Ag in the Classroom and other agriculture education programs in place. IALF will support those existing programs and help ensure that all Iowa communities have access to high quality educational programs that apply STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) concepts through agriculture. IALF will take some of those best practices from existing agriculture education programs, incorporate business needs related to STEM and present a unified approach with benchmarks from a statewide perspective.” IALF will provide teacher and volunteer training workshops, educational materials aligned with the Iowa Core and STEM. Workshops for teachers and students will

be available throughout the school year and into the summer months. Upcoming workshop information will be available on the website IowaAgLiteracy.org. “Ensuring our growing global population has enough safe, affordable and nutritious food will require students to understand all aspects of agriculture and how they can become involved, now and in the future,” said Amanda Rinehart, IALF board member from DuPont Pioneer. “IALF was launched to help provide access to agriculture curriculum across the state.” IALF is governed by a 10-person board including the following founders, Iowa Farm Bureau, Iowa Corn Growers, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa Soybean Association and the Silos and Smokestacks Foundation. Additional board members include Iowa Department of Education, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, DuPont Pioneer, GROWMARK, Iowa Beef Industry Council and a representative from an education advisory council. About the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation

IALF serves as a central resource for educators and volunteers who want to teach Iowa’s students about agriculture. The mission is to educate Iowans, with a focus on youths, regarding the breadth and global significance of agriculture. Iowa is a leading producer of agricultural products that are essential to feed a growing world population, estimated to reach more than 9 billion by 2050. IALF believes it is important for all Iowans to understand the essential role agriculture has in their lives. IALF will support existing agriculture education efforts such as FFA, 4-H and Ag in the Classroom. IALF was created through a joint effort of agricultural stakeholders, including Iowa Corn Growers Association, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa Soybean Association, Silos and Smokestacks Foundation, DuPont Pioneer, GROWMARK and Iowa Beef Industry Council.

RACISM: Continued from Page 1

daughter and other students on a school bus. The daughter didn’t throw the first punch, but did have to defend herself. The daughter told the school’s office what had happened, but was threatened with suspension. “This is not the only time she’s gotten the racial comments,” the mother said. “I get tired of my daughter coming home two to three days a week crying and nothing happening because of it.” The majority of the incidents happened during the last couple of weeks of school, the mother said. She added, the same incidents happened to her older daughter, but it got better once she went into high school. There was a consensus the board wanted more of an investigation done on the incidents before making a decision. “If that’s going on, that is unacceptable in our school — in any way, shape or form. We just don’t tolerate that, but we need to do some investigating and figure out what’s going on,” said James Bair, Clarke School Board member. The school board decided to schedule a special board meeting Thursday, Aug. 14, to have a more thorough investigation before they made their decision on the late open enrollment. Thursday’s meeting During the Thursday meeting, Seid said there was a letter that had been submitted by the daughter, however, it wasn’t obtainable at meeting time. At least one staff member had been interviewed about the racism, but there was no recollection of racism concerns. There was nothing documented with the school’s counselor about racism. The situation on the bus had been documented, as well as classroom issues, but nothing that fell under the umbrella of racism. “When talking with staff, there had been ongoing things between other (students) at recess and things like that,” said Randy Bolton, elementary vice principal. “When confronting all parties involved, all parties involved had usually been a part of the name calling or bothering, or those type of things.” Bolton said he had seen the letter and it did contain the racism concerns. “What typical protocol would be, would be to talk to all parties and then have those conversations,” he said. “... We can’t stop things necessarily right away. We want to make things better, but if there’s anything

else that happens, we need to know at the school that things are not getting better or that things have been said. If things were to progress and get worse, consequences and what we do are going to be adjusted, added on to, those type of things.” He added, after checking with the student, there didn’t seem to be any further problems that were addressed to him, the counselor or staff. The mother said her daughter met what constitutes as pervasive harassment. The reason the child doesn’t talk to school officials is because she feels more comfortable, or safer, talking to her mother. The mother said she had been informed her daughter had been on the verge of getting kicked off the school bus and out of school. “I’ve been verbally told by a couple of the teachers on the phone that if any of this fighting continues, that she will be expelled from school,” she said. “That’s been verbal. That has not been written.” “I don’t think the teachers have that authority,” said Steve O’Tool, school board member. “That kind of decision has to be made by administration.” No school bus driver or school staff member were in attendance at the meeting. No documentation When it came to having a hardcopy of the documentation, the mother said she didn’t keep a copy of the letter her daughter wrote. Bolton said he had seen the letter, but it wasn’t in the student’s file. “That was my mistake. It’s not in my folder where I keep documents. I don’t even have a folder for (the student). It’s not like she’s been somebody that’s, you know, under the radar — a frequent flyer type of a thing,” he said. “I take full responsibility, but, I am not denying there definitely was a letter that had racial comments and things that had been said to her. That was a fact.” The mother said she had been called into the school several times to talk with the teachers or counselor, however, the situation doesn’t get to the administrative office. School board members agreed there wasn’t enough proper documentation to overturn the decision to deny the late filed open enrollment.

In 1960, weekly Go-kart races were held on Friday evenings at Osceola’s new Go-kart track located north of Rilea’s Drive In on U.S Hwy 69, south of Osceola. The track operators were George and Scottie Rilea. More than 25 Go-karts, mostly from the Osceola area, comprised the first field of entries at the first race. At the first race, more than 300 people were on hand for the races before they were cancelled by rain after the fourth race. Winners of the four events held were: Wes Fouche, Jerry Busick and Clarence Blanchard: “A” class. Jim Lescher, “A Trophy.” Bill Anderson, Don Ramsey and Ron Creculiush of Linev-

Sheridan of rural Afton. She and her husband both grew up on farms, became teachers and are currently retired farmers. Sheridan shared some stories she wrote about growing up on a farm with two brothers — making their own entertainment and memories to last a lifetime. Members turned in their volunteer hours to Jeri Lytton for her annual report.

Rilea’s announced they were improving lighting and parking at the irregular oval dirt track and considered the track a success and looked forward to an even better season the next year. A new Go-kart track was opened by owners Ron Reed and Don Byerly in September 1960. The track, known as Osceola Race Ways, was located three miles north of Osceola on U.S. 69, left at the Floyd Newman corner and two miles on the New Virginia Star Route. The new irregular shaped “skill” track featured a 320 foot straight-a-way. There were 10,500 watts of light were installed on the track. The starting time for the Saturday night races was 8 p.m.

Jill (Kiger), she was on vacation. We had some very good discussions around his experience with this. He’d been a curriculum director before — what he could bring to this team, what he could bring to this district. And, he’s very eager to get started. He emailed me this morning wanting to know the outcomes of this evening. He’s ready to go, if and when approved.”

Seid said Ridgely’s previous curriculum director experience was at Earlham. Stability O’Tool said the curriculum director position at Clarke has been a position that hasn’t been stable with longevity within the school district. On June 23, the school board approved the resignation of Tom Roff, the district’s previous director of curriculum and instruction, during a board meeting.

Roff had only been in the school district for one year. In a resignation letter to the board, Roff said he would be returning to his hometown of Pleasantville to be an elementary school principal. “Realistically, that was, we were behind the eight ball initially, and so he (Ridgely) realizes that,” Seid said. “In fact, he was asking me to kind of catch him up on some things that potentially he would need to get started on ASAP.”

ing for that pin. After it stopped Oil gushed into the ocean for months with an estimated total discharge of 4.9 million barrels. The spill was finally sealed in September 2010. When the oil spill was fixed, the need for the oil boom pins ended. However, production on the pins couldn’t just be stopped overnight, and revenues were lost. There are still 15,000 pins sitting in Miller Products warehouses.

However, there still is a need for the special type of oil boom pins. McFarland said, recently, Miller Products has a new customer buying a version of the special pin for a special application in cranberry production. “Every now and then, we sell 50 or a couple hundred to somebody that’s got some oil booms to put together to clean up a spill,” he said.

We just sat down in the engineer’s office and he sketched it out.” McFarland added, the salesman at the time of the spill wrote a blog about the special oil boom pins, which got him phone calls all night long from people look-

“Master Gardeners may work at local public gardens, schools, nursing homes, or other community beautification and educational projects,” Schrock said. “Some Master Gardeners answer questions on the radio, give presentations at gardening seminars, or discuss plants at local plant sales. There are many ways to volunteer.” The Master Gardener program is unique both for its community emphasis and because it is based on the broad research-based resources of Iowa State University. Master Gardeners provide a credible source of information about home gardening across Iowa, said Schrock. Registration is due Friday, Sept. 5 by 4:30 p.m. to the Clarke County Extension Office.

AMES – The Iowa Master Gardener program will hold 2014 fall trainings at 34 Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county offices beginning in September. The Master Gardener course includes 40 hours of web-based and face-to-face local training and a one-day training session on the Iowa State University campus. “Iowans interested in gardening and volunteering in their community should consider joining the Iowa Master Gardener program,” said Denny Schrock, Iowa Master Gardener coordinator. “We welcome long-term veterans of gardening, novices and those with varying degrees of experience as new trainees.” Iowa Master Gardener training covers many aspects of gardening – from soil and weed management to botany and growing all types of horticultural plants. Since its inception in 1979, the Iowa program has trained more than 10,000 participants. To see a full description of the topics covered, visit the Iowa Master Gardener website at www.mastergardener.iastate. edu. In partial exchange for training, Master Gardener participants are expected to share their time and knowledge in approved projects within their local communities. Trainees must complete a one-year Master Gardener internship consisting of 40 hours of approved volunteer service projects. In subsequent years to maintain active Master Gardener status an additional 12 hours of volunteer service and six hours of educational updates are required annually.

Richardson named starting QB for season opener By Iowa State Athletics

AMES — Iowa State head football coach Paul Rhoads has a starting quarterback for the season-opener against North Dakota State (Aug. 30). His name is Sam Richardson. Rhoads announced the decision to the media after this morning’s practice. Richardson, a junior from Winter Park, Fla., was ISU’s starting quarterback in the first eight games of the 2013 Richardson season, coming out of the gates with outstanding numbers when he passed for more than 240 yards in the first four games. Injuries, especially a tender ankle, hampered Richardson’s productivity later in the season and was eventually replaced by Grant Rohach as the Cyclone signal-caller for the final four games. Rhoads noted the poise and leadership Richardson emanated throughout the

first two weeks of fall camp. “Sam has displayed great leadership and that certainly includes poise in the pocket where he has been very much in control of our offense and of himself,” Rhoads said. “His understanding of the scheme and his decision making has really grown in the last two weeks, and maybe as much as anything, he is throwing a great ball, an accurate ball, a tight ball and a catchable ball.” Richardson’s road to starting quarterback began in his freshman season (2012) when he replaced a concussed Steele Jantz in the first quarter of the Kansas game. He proceeded to dissect the Kansas secondary by connecting on 23-of27 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns in a 51-23 Cyclone victory. Richardson’s first four games of 2013 were solid, completing 62.3 percent of his passes and nine touchdowns despite tweaking his ankle in the season-opener vs. UNI. Unfortunately, Richardson re-injured the ankle in the Texas Tech game and

Hormel Foods, USDA to help improve development in malnourished children AUSTIN, Minn. — Hormel Foods Corporation announced promising results of the nutrition research portion of Project SPAMMY®. SPAMMY®, a fortified poultry product designed by Hormel Foods and named after the company’s iconic SPAM® family of products, was created to help address malnutrition in children. SPAMMY is used as an ingredient and blends easily into customary diets. The product was tailored to meet the specific micronutrient needs of children in Guatemala based on findings from earlier research conducted by Hormel Foods. In a public/private partner-

ship jointly funded by Hormel Foods and the MicronutrientFortified Food Aid Products Pilot (MFFAPP), administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service under the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition (McGovern-Dole) Program, this latest research demonstrated the benefits of supplementing traditional diets with highquality protein and micronutrients. During the trial, more than 160 preschool-age children in Guatemala ate either a fortified or unfortified version of SPAMMY on school days over a 20-week period. The

fortified version contained the addition of several micronutrients, such as vitamins D and B12, which are important nutrients for children, but are deficient in this area of the world. Both versions were identical in protein, calories and fat. The study revealed: • All participants showed greater-than-expected improvement in cognitive scores • There was a 44 percent reduction in the number of school days missed due to illness • Children receiving fortified SPAMMY showed statistical improvements in vitamin D and B12 levels • A positive correlation was

found between increase in cognitive gain scores and vitamin D concentrations in the treatment group “It is encouraging to see these results and the success that SPAMMY is having in improving the lives of so many children in need,” said Kevin L. Myers, Ph. D., vice president of research and development of Hormel Foods. “Our company and our employees are enthusiastic about this program, and we plan to continue our efforts in Guatemala.” Dr. Noel W. Solomons, scientific director for CeSSIAM, a partner in the project said, “The findings revealed the magnitude of deficiencies of

two vitamins – D and B12 – in young Guatemalans, and fortified SPAMMY has outstanding potential to address this situation when it is incorporated into meals fed to children.” Hormel Foods has been working with partners in Guatemala since 2008 to provide SPAMMY-fortified poultry product to malnourished children and donated 2.4 million cans of the protein-based item in 2013. “Every time I return to Guatemala it is amazing to see the growth of Project SPAMMY and the positive contribution the SPAMMY product is making in the lives of so many,” said Jeffrey M.

Love for all By Tom Murr

In 1980, our family moved to Waterloo, as I would start a new job of teaching and coaching at Waterloo East. Waterloo had the largest percentage of black Americans of any city in Iowa in 1980. This week our son David recalled I gave him a book on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and urged him to read it. He wrote on Facebook this week he would soon learn why I gave him that book to read. One of his first friends was a young black American living down the street from us and they walk to school together. We have witnessed the “stress between” black Americans and the American society this week in a shooting a week ago in Ferguson, Mo. All of the old hate and distrust have surfaced in America again in Ferguson. The 1954 Supreme Court Decision ended segregation in American schools. In the next 15 years, our nation faced many conflicts in the south and in the north. In the three high schools in Waterloo, busing was used to allow about 19 percent of enrollment of black students in each high school. In fact, on many mornings, I followed empty buses going across the river to pick up black American students to transport to other high schools. Today in America, and the world, we have instant information coming to us 24-7. This can be both good and bad. All media wants to be first to give us the “breaking news.” Sometimes mistakes happen in reporting the news first. Media now includes texting, cell phone cameras and Facebook to expand the coverage. Sometimes, this information can be one side of the coin and not show the other side. America has watched court cases where “race” has been the issue. While justice was sought in all those cases, people have arrived at a conclusion from the media. LIGHT OF GRACE, 400 E.

St. Paul addressed this in Galatians 3:28 -29 “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.” These words were written many centuries ago, but they have been rejected. The rejection continues to bring pain, hurt and death to God’s families. This pain, hurt and death will stop only when we accept Jesus as the son of God. In God’s kingdom, people will discover to live in love, mercy, grace and peace. Halfway around the world, we witness the endless struggle going on with Israel and the Palestinian people. This struggle has happen for thousands of years. The love of God was never accepted. Jesus accepted all people in his ministry. He granted them love, mercy, grace and peace. Let me say this again, Jesus healed and taught to all people in his ministry. Even when Ferguson, Mo., reaches some kind of conclusion, there will be need in Ferguson, and for all Americans, for healing. Healing can only come to us through the love, mercy and grace of Jesus as we accept him as our savior. Peace will happen only we can live as “sisters and brothers in God’s Kingdom.” With a deep sigh, I pray again for the love, mercy, grace and peace of all persons regardless of any differences in sex, shape or color.
