Going the right way Council makes changes to one-way street ordinance to curb school congestion

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

The congestion problems

by Clarke Community Elementary School should be alleviated this year, however the solution to the traffic problem has been slightly tweaked.

And, it took a long process to get to the finish.

During an Aug. 4 Osceola City Council meeting, the council approved the first reading of a proposal to establish a permanent one-way road south down the 100 block of South Dewey Street and then one way west on the 400 block of East Jefferson Street.

This is right next to the circle drive at Clarke Community Elementary School, where children are dropped off.

Then, the council set up a special session Aug. 11 to make sure local residents in the area could have a say before final approval. The issue was again brought up

for final approval during an Aug. 18 meeting.

“This situation, there just is abso- Duffus lutely no perfect way to take care of our problems,” said Osceola Police Chief Marty Duffus.

Afternoon chaos Through many observations by officials, the traffic congestion only happens during the afternoon pick-up times, especially with school buses parked on the south and west sides of the school.

There are no problems during the morning with parents dropping their children off to school.

Duffus said he believed the morning isn’t an issue for congestion because parents want to drop their children off as quickly as possible since they, too, are on their Please see ONE WAY, Page 4

Top of the class Reece honored by President Obama for national teaching award

By AMY HANSEN

Have you been personally greeted by President Barack Obama?

Because it’s not everyday a teacher from Iowa gets flown out to Washington, D.C., to meet with the country’s commander in chief.

However, Brian Reece of Osceola, a Central Academy math teacher and Clarke’s head wrestling coach and assistant football coach, experienced that honor.

“That was a pretty big deal,” said Reece, a 1990 Clarke graduate, while shaking his head with amazement.

Through the National Science Foundation (NSF), Reece received a 2013 Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). He was honored with the trip to the nation’s capital earlier this summer.

Highest honor The awards are the highest honor bestowed by the government on K-12 mathematics and science teachers in the United States.

NSF receives recommendations from the states, territories and department of defense of some of their best and most inspiring teachers for the award.

NSF reviews the submissions and forwards recommendations to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). On July 1, President Obama announced this latest group of award recipients.

There were 108 teachers who were honored and received $10,000 from NSF Reece and had the opportunity of an expense-paid trip to the nation’s capital from July 28 to Aug. 1 of this year.

Right in front While there were many activities professional development sessions planned for Reece, one of the main highlights was meeting President Obama.

The teachers were lined up from shortest to tallest in the group. Reece was placed on the first set of risers, but he noticed there was a space left open for the president in front.

“This is one of the first times being short has paid

off in my life,” Reece said while laughing. “… I could’ve reached out and touched him. I didn’t, because I would’ve gotten tackled. But, then he told us, right before he got in the picture, that he was going to shake hands with all of us.”

Reece said it was nice of the president to take the time and greet everybody individually.

Pictures with Reece and the president weren’t available as of press time.

A lot of work As for what it took to get Reece to Washington, D.C., it was a lengthy process.

After being nominated by the parent of a student in 2013, Reece was required to provide essay answers for a 15-page questionnaire, as well as having letters of recommendation from various sources. He also recorded a 45-minute video from one

of his lessons showing his interaction with students and his teaching style.

Reece said he was happy to do the application process, because it was a chance to reflect on himself and his teaching style.

“It’s a very good professional development activity. … I think most teachers, at least most teachers that are worth their salt, go through that reflective process on a yearly basis,” he said.

The application video was done in one take by setting up a camera in the back of Reece’s classroom.

“It was nice because there happened to be a moment in the lesson where there was an audible gasp from the students, from their excitement,” Reece said.

Osceola Water Works embarks on new public education campaign This summer, Osceola Water Works contracted with Spoke Communications to develop and implement a public education and communications program to be delivered to the residents of Osceola.

The program will be a dedicated effort by the Osceola Water Works board to help residents see more of and understand the value the board and the water works staff provide to the community. “’You turn the tap and the water comes out.’ That seems to be the extent of the understanding some have about an effective Water Works program.” said Brandon Patterson, Osceola Water Works superintendent, “Our goal is to raise the awareness of all of our services, the value of clean water, and a well-managed infrastructure. It impacts us all in ways you’d never realize.”

A series of informational postcards and flyers will be launched this week, outlining many of the services provided by the Osceola Water Works – from delivery and treatment of the city’s water to support of emergency services.

Each message will focus on a specific service provided by the water works, explaining its impact on Osceola residents, as well as additional facts and figures on water usage, the effect managed water services have on

our economy and environment, and the benefits of a well managed program like Osceola’s.

In addition to postcards and flyers, there will also be opportunities for public conversations in a “Q & A” public event that will be scheduled and announced soon. The education program will also have copies of all delivered information and video from events on a Web site that will be connected to The Water Work’s site.

When asked why this program was launched, Patterson replied, “Osceola’s growth has spurred on some serious conversations about the Water Works services, how we deliver, and how we support our residents.” Patterson said. “We want this program to help everyone understand the deep dedication we have to our community.”

The initial program introduction and flyer will be delivered to homes within the next week. Following messages will be delivered through mail, newspaper, web, and other delivery services.

For more information on this education effort, contact at Brandon Patterson, Osceola Water Works, 208 W Jefferson St., Osceola, IA 50213, phone: (641) 342-1435, web: www.OsceolaWaterWorks.com, email: OsceolaWater2@windstream.net

Purina Endurance Classic to be held in Osceola National Shoot to Retrieve Field Trial Association, Inc. (NSTRA) was conceived by a group of hunters in the late 1960s as a way to extend the normal upland bird hunting season from a few weeks to a longer period of time.

Their common goal was to foster the growth of walking style quality type field trials for all pointing breed dogs. Incorporated in 1978, NSTRA is a non-profit association with service to the members and sportsmanship as its goal.

Over the last 40-plus years, NSTRA has developed as an organization that sponsors field trials across the United States and Canada.

More than 1,000 local field trials are held annually for seasoned competitors and dogs as well as amateurs.

Points earned in these trials are accumulated to earn championships for the dogs as well as qualify them for regional and national competitions.

Judging seminars are held annually by instructors “who actually compete in our sport” to train our judges in a fair and consistent manner.

The rules are easy to understand and points are scored for each find and retrieve, ground coverage, obedience and backing. Using this points system, the dog with the most points wins.

Depending on local weather conditions, trials are held all year long in various locations. People can check out your local trialing information on our website at www.nstra.org and click on NSTRA regions/all region schedules.

Trials are held either by clubs or individuals. Each region elects officers to make sure that all trialing is held to NSTRA standards. Seasoned members often take on the role of mentor for new members.

The Purina Endurance Classic is one of the national trials. This year, the trial will be hosted by the Iowa Gun Dog Club in Osceola from Sept. 9-12, at 1541 180th St. Dogs qualify by earning points during a specified period. This trial will allow 128 dogs to compete in a unique format called “beat your brace-mate.” One of the most popular formats, each dog advances by out-scoring the other dog competing in their brace. Starting with 128 dogs, the trial is reduced by

half though each round until the winning dog is produced.

Participants from all over the United States and Canada may attend this event and it provides for friendly competition and the opportunity to visit with and learn from other members. All trials are open to the public at no charge and spectators are welcome!

The field trial format consists of up to 32 dogs which compete in pairs. Dogs are blind drawn to compete in 30 minute “braces” to find birds which have been previously placed in the field. Each dog is scored on its ability to find and point the birds, retrieve the downed bird to its owner, cover the entire field, obey its owner’s commands, and honor a find made by its brace-mate. The scores are then totaled and the top three dogs with the highest scores earn points.

The trials are held in family-friendly environments.

Many families take advantage of the reduced membership pricing for associate members (spouses and children, 18 years of age and under still living at home).

There are several young members who own and run their own dogs. The minimum age to be in the field is 10 years of age. To gun for oneself, you must be 16 years of age and hold a current Hunter’s Safety Course card.

NSTRA dogs earn points by placing in the top three of local trials or the top four of national and regional trials.

For every 18 points (nine of which must be first place points) a dog earns another championship. These is an amateur program established in several regions that allows a dog to earn an amateur championship before going on to compete in open trialing.

Each region holds a championship trial at the end of their trialing season. Qualified dogs are allowed the chance to participate for a regional championship and to qualify for our premier national trial, the Dog of the Year.

NSTRA holds five national championship trials annually. Two of these (Trial of Champions and Dog of the Year) are held in our home location at the Conservation Bird Dog Club in Amo, Ind. The other three trials are held elsewhere throughout the United States.

REECE: Continued from Page 1

Later, he found out this moment was mentioned often in his feedback from judges’ deliberation.

Final inspiration As for other inspirational moments in Reece’s trip, he met with a former vice president of Google and the heads of the NSF. He said it was an honor because it appeared they were more amazed to talk to him than he was to them.

Conversing with the other teachers also made Reece reflect on his profession and responding to adversity in

the education system.

“The whole concept of mental toughness, from a coaching perspective, that the idea doesn’t mean doubt doesn’t creep into your head. … It’s how you respond to that doubt,” he said.

There was another important quote Reece heard during his trip that he took to heart. “‘As a teacher, do you view it as a job or do you view it as a career?”

Reece said. “Do you go everyday and do your job, or are you looking at it as basically becoming the best teacher (you can be).”

BACK IN TIME Lon Crannell popcorn wagon

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society Co-contributor Garold R. Crannell

On Oct. 19, 1922, Eglon (Lon) Crannell signed a town property lease with Mrs. Frances McDonald for a strip of ground joining the McDonald building just west of Bailey Furniture Store.

The said strip piece was to have an 8-foot frontage and 10foot north and south to be used for a popcorn wagon or any-

ber of the district geometry lead team.

He has attended National Council of Teachers of Mathematics conferences, including one where he was presented an Edyth May Sliffe Award for Distinguished Mathematics Teaching.

Last summer, he participated in the Holl Mathematical Discovery for Teachers Workshop where, for one week, eight teachers worked on solving two advanced mathematical problems.

Brian has a B.A. in mathematics from Central College and a Master’s of School Mathematics degree from Iowa State University.

thing else in the wagon not objectionable to Mrs. McDonald.

The rent was due on the first day of each month and commenced in September at $3 a month and $2 a month after that until April when rent went back to $3 a month.

Mr. Crannell and his son operated the popcorn wagon and arranged to do business on a large scale, including in the business activities service at the “Q” station during train times. Written on the window of the stand were the words “gum, candy, peanuts and popcorn.”

On Oct. 31, Crannell entered into a lease between himself and George McClure to lease the popcorn stand on the north side of the square from October to May 1 at $5 per month. McClure was to pay the rent on the ground at $5 per month and pay the light bill.

Crannell later moved to Franklin Township and the Weldon area. He was living on a farm near Minburn, Iowa, when he passed away in 1943.

Keith’s Barber Shop today is west of the above mentioned buildings.

way to work. During the 3 p.m. hour, many parents are getting off work and have more time to linger.

“Now, mom and dad are early, so they get to the circle drive and they sit and completely plug that up because they’re waiting on the kids to dismiss, and now we’re in trouble,” Duffus said. “They’re all jammed up.”

Previously, the councilmen had thought the two streets and permanent one-ways were the best solution since school lets out during different times, especially with regularly-scheduled early outs or inclement weather.

But, this would negatively affect the people who live in the area of the two streets.

“I’ve done a complete reversal. I think the two hour afternoon (oneway) can be done,” said Councilman Dave Walkup.

Compromise Duffus said a compromise to affect less residents would be to keep Dewey Street as a two-way street and still make Jefferson a one-way street.

There was a discussion of having

a police officer’s presence to help direct traffic, however, there was another concern from law enforcement.

“We can help it out with that, I mean, as we can,” Duffus said. “Three o’clock in the afternoon, believe it or not, is one of our busiest times. But, we can be in the area to try and help it out.”

However, later in the discussion, when the council was debating setting hours of the one-way road, Duffus said, “I just have to tell you, I’m not sure I can guarantee somebody there.”

The council said a solution could be to use another official dressed in a bright yellow traffic vest, if the need for the situation arises.

Street/time Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis made the motion to make the 400 block of Jefferson Street become a one-way street going west from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday during the school year. It was approved.

“The reason is, by next summer, we might have a different idea, and we can always revise it,” Fotiadis said.

Oven canning — unsafe!

Preserving food by canning in the oven has been a hot topic this summer. It seems everyone is looking for a shortcut to preserve food at home.

Oven canning is not a safe shortcut. Barb Fuller, nutrition and wellness Specialist and a master food safety advisor for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, said, “Many individuals have shared they have tried, or have heard about, oven canning. Just because a jar is sealed doesn’t mean the food inside is safe to eat. I’ve had people say to me, ‘I haven’t gotten sick from it.’ I tell them they are probably very lucky! Botulism is a big concern.”

Often, a trusted and well-meaning friend or relative has shared information about canning in the oven as a simple way to can food. Others have found information off the Internet promoting it as a “quick and easy” method.

Food “processed” in the oven will not necessarily be heated hot enough or long enough to

produce a safe product. Oven regulators may not be accurate and the hot air in the oven may not circulate efficiently enough to heat the food in the jars. In addition, dry heat penetrates jars very slowly. Canning jars are not designed for dry heating either.

Who would want to clean up that mess if they exploded?

In addition, think of the wasted resources when finding out your food may not be safe to eat.

Fuller said, “People spend a great deal of money, time, and energy canning food. It is disheartening to tell someone their (improperly) canned food could make someone they love very sick.”

Do not put your families’ health and the quality of your food at risk for the sake of a shortcut like oven canning. Be sure to only use research-based methods and tested recipes for safe home food preservation.

Week zero shutout Murray shuts out Melcher-Dallas in opener

By SCOTT VICKER

las replaces almost its entire lineup from a year ago.

Breaking in a new offensive unit, the Saints were unable to get anything going against Murray’s defense Friday.

The Mustangs limited Melcher-Dallas to just 51 yards of total offense, including only 1 rushing yard.

The Saints only advanced the ball into Murray territory twice in the game.

“We wanted to play defense early,” Fulton said.

“We wanted to defer. It allowed us to settle in.”

The Mustangs didn’t bite on Melcher-Dallas’ misdirections and deception, instead staying disciplined on defense.

“We stayed in our lanes, stayed disciplined,” Jones said. “When one person got ahold of the ballcarrier, we were flowing to the ball really well. We used our speed to our advantage and played well tonight.”

But Teas broke loose for a 20-yard touchdown run around the left side with 3:23 left in the first quarter.

That touchdown run got momentum going in Murray’s direction.

“On that play, it all starts with the blocking and then everything just fell into place and I went,” Teas said. “Our momentum just flowed and we went with it.”

Murray’s next drive lasted only three plays as Teas scored from 37 yards out this time, making the score 12-0 with 11:17 to go in the second quarter.

Murray junior running back Dustin Teas (17) makes a cut upfield while picking up a block from teammate Zane Hatfield (8) during the second quarter of Murray’s 48-0 win over Melcher-Dallas on Friday. Hatfield finished with 93 rushing yards and three touchdowns on seven carries.

Fisher Decker to Jones. But the play was called back for a holding penalty.

After Decker was sacked back at Murray’s own 3-yard line, Jones took an option pitch around the right side and broke through a tackle, before outrunning everyone else for a 77-yard touchdown.

“It was kind of an option play,” Jones said. “I had a guy kind of give me a shove toward the sideline and I had to do my best to stay in and Jones stay balanced.”

Murray scored again on the first play of the second half, as Teas ran 43 yards around the right side for a touchdown to make it 36-0 after the 2-point conversion with 11:43 left in the third.

On Murray’s next possession, Jones found paydirt from 46 yards out to make it 42-0 with 5:36 left in the

third quarter.

Murray added one more touchdown with 9:44 left in the game, as Decker connected with Hunter Paschke for an 8-yard touchdown, giving the Mustangs the final 48-0 margin.

Jones finished the game with 152 rushing yards on 11 carries, while Teas added 93 yards on seven carries.

“We’re going to need them all year,” Fulton said.

“They both looked great.

They’ve been working hard in practice. Everybody has been working hard in practice and we’re only going to get better as the year goes on.”

Fulton asked several players to play new positions Friday night, as Murray dressed only 13 players for the game.

Teas moved from end to running back, while Barber and Callstrom both moved from running back to guard.

“My linemen played a heck of a game,” Jones said.

“A couple of guys who usually wouldn’t play guard went there and they did a really great job. We were using

our speed to get to the edges on them.”

Clarke harriers look for Subbert looks to rebuild improvement at conference meet Clarke volleyball

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

After posting a 1-21 record a year ago, there’s only one way for the Clarke volleyball team to go.

Up. New head coach Christa Subbert, who played high school volleyball at Stanton High School and went on to play one year of college volleyball at William Penn University, hopes to build the team back into a winner.

Subbert knows a thing or two about success.

She also played four years of basketball at William P e n n , Subbert w h e r e she was a three-time All-American.

“Some of our goals are to just improve every day, get better every day.

That’s why you’re practicing. That’s why you’re out for volleyball. You want to get better.

“Another one is, they won one game last year, so obviously do better than that. I think with this group, we will. We want to be somewhere in the top half of our conference.”

The Lady Indians return four of their top five offen-

sive players from a year ago.

Senior Baylie Balcaen and junior LeeAnn Helgevold each recorded 32 kills to lead the team a Balcaen year ago.

Balcaen played in only 36 sets, averaging .89 kills per set to lead the team.

Junior Alex Boyce added 28 kills last year, while sophomore Chynna Beydler ranked fifth on the team with 19 kills last year.

“Baylie Balcaen, she’s one of our stronger hitters,” Subbert said. “Alex Boyce is another. She’ll be a hitter for us. Chynna Beydler has been a decent hitter for us so far.”

Senior Maddi Heath provides a steady p r e s ence in the back row for the Lady Indians.

H e a t h Heath served 86.7 percent last year with a teamhigh 28 aces, while ranking second with 81 digs. Her 1.98 digs per set led Clarke.

Junior Sydnee Redman led Clarke with 82 digs.

“Maddi Heath in the back

row, she can pass almost anything and it’s a perfect pass,” Subbert said. “She’ll most likely be our libero.”

Senior Ally Deutsch and junior Lexy Carson have shown promise during the preseason as setters.

Carson led the team with 108 assists a year ago, while Deutsch set 33 assists.

Carson Subbert said there are several freshman who are pushing for playing time, making preseason practices competitive.

“Deseree Stubbe is one of our better freshman hitters,” she said.

“There’s quite a few freshmen that have been stepping up. Right w h e n Stubbe we started, you could definitely tell they’re freshmen, but they’re understanding the game more and developing more. I think a lot of them will see some playing time.”

Subbert is ready to get her first season as head coach started.

“I’m excited to be here at Clarke and excited for what’s to come in the upcoming season,” she said.

The Indians have one returning all-conference runner from last year in sophomore Kylie Shields, who also put together a strong freshman track campaign for Murray.

“I’d like to see more of the boys in the top 10 at our conference meet,” McCann said. “Davis County is always tough.

We always have a few good runners, but they’re going to have to step it up and see what they can do.

I’d like to have somebody else in the girls top 10, too.”

McCann said she’d like to see three of the Clarke boys in the top 10.

Through practices so

far, the boys have been running in a pack. She’s waiting for someone to emerge from that pack as a leader.

One potential leader for the team is Jake Manternach, who has not pract i c e d with the team yet this fall. “ A t the end Manternach of our c r o s s country season, he really picked it up and was excited about stuff,” McCann said. “So he kind of does have slow starts sometimes. He moves along as the season comes along. He’s a good leader.

The kids have respect for him.”

Parker Hardy is another runner who could make an impact for the Indians this year, while freshman Ryan Walters will be pushing for a varsity spot. Seniors Geo Smith and Nick John-

ston will also play important roles for Clarke.

On the girls side, Shields is the clear leader.

“She looks pretty good,” McCann said. “I would hope she would be able to get all-conf e r e n c e . Shields I think she was 25th at the State Qualifying Meet. I don’t want to put the cart in front of the horse, but I’m really looking forward to her placing higher there.

I think with each meet she’ll improve.”

McCann also sees promise from a couple of other girls runners.

“I think Chelsea Selsor is determined to move herself up there,” she said.

“Chelsea Mendez wasn’t out last year, but was out the year before and came back out to join us. She placed really well in middle school.”

Sports briefs Pride and Sportsmanship Night MURRAY — Murray will host its annual Pride and Sportsmanship Night on Monday, Aug. 31 at the Jerry Brown Gymnasium, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Graceland University AmeriCorps Youth Launch program receives funding for its eighth year Shannon Harris, director of Graceland’s AmeriCorps Youth Launch program, received word the program has been awarded $522,000 to continue activities for the next three years.

The federal funding for the program is matched by an approximately equal amount from the Dekko Foundation and an additional $67,000 in staff and services by Graceland University. Greg Sutherland, Executive Director of Affiliate Relations, supervises this and all volunteer outreach programs at the university.

The Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service (ICVS) administers the AmeriCorps program in the state for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Grants are awarded in two categories.

The highest rated applications are forwarded from Iowa for CNCS funding.

Graceland’s grant application was once again rated among the best and funded

at the national level.

The AmeriCorps Youth Launch program (AYL) serves six counties in southern Iowa (Decatur, Ringgold, Clarke, Wayne, Union and Lucas). AYL recruits 25 members to serve in both in-school and out-of-school settings in 10 local communities.

Throughout the school year, AmeriCorps members provide individual services

to more than 300 youths.

Members build valuable developmental assets within youth through relationship building, academic assistance, after school programming, enrichment activities, mentoring programs and service-learning opportunities.

During the summer months, AYL partners with local extension offices and other youths serving organi-

GRACE BIBLE CHURCH OF SOUTHERN IOWA, meets at 410

zations to provide summer youth programming to more than 750 youths through day camps, summer school programs, literacy programs and many other summer enrichment opportunities.

The goal of the AYL program is to provide opportunities for young people to lead successful, rewarding and productive lives. AmeriCorps members who serve with the AYL program receive a living stipend, an education award, which can be applied to higher education or previous school loans, training in various categories, valuable career experience and the opportunity to serve their local communities.

Funding from the Dekko Foundation supports youth enrichment opportunities supported by Graceland University in tandem with AmeriCorps activities.

Graceland University uses this support to bring students to the Lamoni campus for many cultural enrichment and educational

programs. Included in that long list of programmatic offerings are art camps, science camps, athletic camps, writing and leadership seminars along with many plays, concerts and other fine art events held in the Shaw Center, the cultural oasis in southern Iowa.

Graceland’s sponsorship of the Special Olympics is a highlight of the program.

Additional programs support youth development activities across six counties in south central Iowa.

Grants across Iowa will support more than 800 AmeriCorps members who serve with approximately 60 different organizations.

In addition to the youth development emphasis of the Graceland program, AmeriCorps statewide promotes such emphases as early literacy, natural resources, disaster response and energy conservation.

“National service is an essential part of the solution to many of the challenges facing our state,” said Gov-

If only

By The Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

Listen in with me to a conversation between 9-year-old Carly and her 6-year-old sister Meghan at the funeral home visitation time for their beloved grandpa.

“If only Grandpa would just wake up.” Meghan plopped herself down on the sofa in the family gathering area.

Carly sat down next to her sister. “Grandpa IS awake.

And besides, he’s more than just awake. He’s dancing, ‘cause he’s at Jesus’ potluck party and I know everybody – all those angels – brought their best stuff to THAT! Grandma’s there, and I bet he’s having a big piece of grandma’s chicken pie too – yum!”

Meghan frowned and repeated, “But if grandpa could just wake up.”

Carly put her arm around Meghan, holding her close.

“Meg, Grandpa was really hurting, and he couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t dance here any more. Don’t you want him to have more than just ‘awake’? Really?”

Meghan sighed, “Well, I guess so. And he did love Jesus.

He told me so.”

“Then Grandpa has it all now, right?”

Meghan smiled through her tears. “Yep, and I want grandpa to have it all with Jesus. I really do.”

“If only.”

version of that?

“If only I had that promotion.” “If only my knee didn’t hurt so much.”

“If only dad wasn’t so sick.”

“If only I had more money…more…(whatever)…”

Is “only that” ALL you want/need? What if what you truly needed was a change of focus, a change in your life’s value system?

Try this: “If I only had Jesus as my Savior, the Leader of my life.” All those other things we think we need to make life perfect really do fade farther into the background of life’s priorities (not necessarily disappear, but drop back in the “need” scale).

Hear Jesus speaking to you as He spoke to Martha one day (John 11:26-27): “I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?”

Now hear Martha’s answer: “Yes, Master. All along I have believed that you are the Messiah, the Son of God who comes into the world.”

Martha’s “If only.” changed in that moment – forever.

Yours can, too, if only.

“These AmeriCorps members will meet pressing local needs and strengthen communities as they develop civic and leadership skills to last a lifetime. I congratulate these outstanding organizations and thank all those who serve their communities through AmeriCorps.”

ICVS officials point out that volunteer programs leverage hundreds of millions of dollars worth of services to the people of Iowa. Twenty-four percent more Iowans volunteer today than they did in 1989.

For years, Iowa has had one of the highest volunteer rates in the nation. In total, volunteers provide an estimated $2 billion in services annually to Iowa.

Graceland University is proud to contribute to this record of volunteer service through the AmeriCorps Youth Launch program and is pleased to be able to continue this service with the support offered through ICVS and CNCS.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Iowa Women for Hillary launches in all 99 counties across the heartland state Demonstrating Hillary Clinton’s commitment to building a grassroots campaign and the enthusiasm for her agenda among women, “Iowa Women for Hillary” is launching — a grassroots group of supporters, including at least one leader already in each of Iowa’s 99 counties.

Iowa Women for Hillary will campaign across Iowa and let women know why they believe Clinton is the candidate who will fight for them as president. The campaign had already identified at least one supporter in all 1,682 precincts in Iowa and having Women for Hillary in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties builds on that strong organizational foundation.

“Hillary Clinton is the

fighter we need in the White House,” said Ruth Harkin, Women for Hillary member in Warren County.

“Iowa women want a President who will stand up for them and fight for equal pay, paid family leave and stand up to Republican attempts to get between women and their doctors. Hillary Clinton will be that President.”

Members of Women for Hillary have all committed to taking an action in support of Hillary Clinton’s grassroots campaign such as phone banking, door knocking, letter writing or hosting a grassroots organizing event. Harkin will host a grassroots organizing event at the end of the month.

“Hillary Clinton has spent her career advocating for women and families and

that’s exactly what she’ll do as President,” said former Iowa Attorney General Bonnie Campbell, a Women for Hillary member in Polk County. “Hillary understands that when women are short-changed, entire families are shortchanged. She won’t back down when it comes to the issues that are important to Iowa women.”

Hillary Clinton has said throughout this campaign that if Republicans don’t like it when she addresses issues that are important to women and families, they should “get ready for a long campaign.”

“Women and families in Iowa have fought back from tough economic times but too many of them still aren’t able to get ahead,”

said Linn County Supervisor Linda Langston, a DNC Member and Women for Hillary member in Linn County. “Hillary Clinton has a plan to make sure more families can afford college and to encourage companies to share more of their profits with workers.

She will be a President than makes sure women and families are able to share in that basic American bargain that if you play by the rules and work hard, you can succeed.”

Women for Hillary includes nearly 200 women from all of Iowa’s 99 counties including nearly two dozen state legislators, county chairs and local elected officials.

Fry elected House Majority Whip Recently, House Republicans selected Rep. Joel Fry, R-Osceola, as the new House Majority Whip.

Rep. Fry will replace Rep. Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights, who was chosen by the House Republican caucus as majority leader, as the Republican Whip.

“I’m honored to be selected by House Republicans to serve as their Whip,” Rep. Fry said. “I’m excited for this opportuni-

ty to be a part of the Republican leadership team heading into the 2016 ses- Fry sion.”

Fry, who was first elected to the House in 2010, previously served as an assistant leader. He is a small business owner and farmer in Clarke County.
