Public confusion still remains concerning CCRC’s future plans By AMY HANSEN
OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com
There are still questions. What’s the plan going forward from here? This was the consensus of public comment during Clarke County Reservoir’s (CCRC) meeting Thursday, Aug. 27. “Again, the commission in July said they were going to continue to negotiate with landowners and try to purchase land within the existing project,” said Dave Beck, project coordinator. However, there was more questioning on what happens when the CCRC gets to a landowner who doesn’t want to sell and “cries eminent domain.” “I think that’s something the commission needs to consider when we get there,” Beck said. “That’s kind of what they were advised last month and discussed last month. Then, they have some tough decisions to make. In the meantime, like I said, we’re working with our engineers to look at a possible alternative, and all.” CCRC board members cautioned the public the reservoir project is a slow process, and the meetings are always open to the public. The project CCRC is in the process of building a reservoir project located in northwest Clarke County, also known as the Squaw Creek Watershed. The reservoir is to provide a water supply for Osceola and Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) with an 816-acre lake, which could provide 2.2 million gallons of water per day. West Lake, the current water source, doesn’t meet the needs of Clarke County and SIRWA. However, there have

been many legislative setbacks, including the most recent one from July. CCRC is dealing with a change in Iowa law on eminent domain, which created language that changed the law on use of eminent domain for the creation of public water supply surface water reservoirs throughout the state. Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for public use by a state. However, this doesn’t stop the CCRC from purchasing land from willing sellers in the project area, which is currently going on. During the Aug. 27 meeting, the commission approved offers to buy real estate from: • George McDannell North • George McDannell South • High Prairie Farms Engineering task order As for more current progress from CCRC, the board is working to comply with an engineering task order. A presentation was made during the meeting. Please see CCRC, Page 4

Osceola awarded $75,000 Wellmark grant for Safe Routes to School sidewalk project By AMY HANSEN
OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com
Getting around town as a pedestrian is going to be getting a little bit easier. Recently, Bill Trickey, executive director of Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC), announced Osceola received notification of approval for a $75,000 Wellmark Foundation grant for the next Safe Routes to School segment in Osceola. This is the second Wellmark grant Osceola has received for its Safe Routes to School Sidewalk project. “A couple of months ago, my board approved our share of $56,000,” Trickey said. “I think Trickey Wellmark likes the collaborative effort they see going on with the project in Osceola, and the fact that we said we were going to do it, and

we did it.” Trickey said the city will get the remaining balance for the match grant. What is the project? The Safe Route to School Sidewalk project started as a committee in 2008. Efforts on the project were resurrected again in 2012. The first section of the project, through visual surveys conducted during school hours, identified Fillmore Street from the railroad tracks to Shaw Street and Jefferson Street near the downtown square to elementary school, as primary routes for students walking to and from school.
A 6-foot wide sidewalk was constructed specifically to accommodate heavy school traffic. Its goal was to also encourage more walking, bicycling and pedestrian recreation for children, as well as adults. Second portion According to Trickey, the next portion of the sidewalk project would be in the southeast side of town. Primarily, next year’s route will be on Highway 69. It will begin in the vicinity of Park Lane and go north to Fayette Please see SIDEWALK, Page 4

Call AnswerLine for safe canning advice AMES — Times have changed since great grandma was canning for her family. Today’s recipes have been scientifically tested to ensure a safe product. So, before trying any of those old family canning recipes, call AnswerLine, the home and family hotline at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “If great grandma’s recipe isn’t safe, AnswerLine will tell you,” said hotline coordinator Elizabeth Meimann. “Callers sometimes are a bit frustrated with us when we answer canning questions. We often have to tell a caller that the old family recipe for a canned product is not safe. We must advise our callers that oven canning, canning low acid vegetables in a water bath canner and using ‘any old recipe’ for pickles are not safe practices,” Meimann said. “We aren’t the ‘canning police.’ Our main goal is to help you keep your family safe for years to come,” Meimann said. AnswerLine has become a highly trusted resource for the people of Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, providing information and resources on home and family questions regarding everything from child development to cleaning to food safety, nutrition, laundry and much more. At this time of year, many people contact AnswerLine to get answers to canning questions or tested recipes they can try at home, said
Barb Fuller, MA, RD, LD a human sciences specialist in nutrition and wellness with ISU Extension and Outreach. AnswerLine uses a number of research-based resources, Fuller said, including ISU Extension and Outreach’s “Preserve the Taste of Summer” series of recipes. The AnswerLine specialists also consult the University of Georgia’s National Center for Home Food Preservation and the USDA Home Canning Guide. “The recipes and procedures in these books have been scientifically tested in a laboratory to ensure the coldest part of a canning jar gets hot enough long enough to kill the botulism bacteria if present. We don’t want you to cut corners and put your family at risk,” Fuller said. “Botulism can be a deadly disease and those at the greatest risk are those who are often most dear to our hearts; the elderly and the very young. Pregnant women and people with a compromised immune system also are at great risk,” Fuller said. AnswerLine, 800-2623804 in Iowa, is open 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. AnswerLine also has a social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, as well as a twice-weekly blog at http://blogs.extension.iastate.edu/answerline/.

Constitution Week to begin Sept. 17 WASHINGTON, D.C. – September 17, 2015, begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The week long commemoration of America’s most important document is one of the country’s least known official observances. The Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensure those inalienable rights to every American. The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law No. 915 on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events, which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787. The United States of America functions as a republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had

the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world. “Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties,” said DAR President General Lynn Forney Young. “We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to reflect on our heritage of freedom and come together to celebrate America!” DAR has served America for 125 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is one of the only structures erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America. Known as the largest women’s patriotic organization in the world, DAR has more than 180,000 members with approximately 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 13 foreign countries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships and activities for children, and programs for new immigrants. For more information about DAR and its programs visit www.dar. org or call (202) 628-1776.

route segment by next summer. “I’m not bashful,” Trickey joked. “I’m thinking next year we’ll go back and ask them for another $75,000 until they tell us no. And if they tell us no, we’ll come back the next year and ask them again.”
CCRC: Continued from Page 1
The task order pertains to an agreement between CCRC and HDR Engineering, in relation to the hydrology and hydraulics for a reduced size pool at dam site 4B in the project area. The project description is it will evaluate the maximum size of a normal pool that can feasibly be developed with top of dam elevation at a contour that extends up to 180th Avenue and Osage Street. The water supply withdrawal capacity based on a one in 50 year drought or the extreme drought of record, with consideration of multiple year droughts as required by IDNR standards will be calculated. The project will estimate the volume of storage available and the
withdrawal capacity for the municipal water supply remaining after accounting for projected sediment accumulation for the design life and the flood storage volume needed to route the design floods through the proposed reservoir with embankment located at site 4B along the realigned Truro Pavement county road without exceeding the allowable upstream water surface elevation that extends up to 180th Avenue and Osage Street. The CCRC unanimously approved the task order. HDR Engineering proposed to have a report submitted for review to CCRC by November. “I think that gave us all a better idea and it gives me satisfaction that we’re following those standards,” said CCRC board member Sandy Kale.

Iowa Medicaid program transitions to managed care By Rep. Joel Fry
The Fry Times
House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us
Iowa’s Medicaid program is currently in the process of transitioning to managed care, called “Iowa Health Link.” Over the last few years, the Medicaid budget has been a budgetary challenge for the state because of costs increasing and money from the federal government decreasing. The cost of delivering this program has grown by 73 percent since 2003. Medicaid expenditures are currently projected to grow by 21 percent in the next three years. With all of these challenges facing the state, in 2015, Gov. Branstad decided to transition the Medicaid program to a managed care system. In a managed care system,
JOEL FRY
Iowa Medicaid Enterprise will contract with managed care organizations (MCOs) to pay for health care services. These MCOs will then contract with providers across the state to provide care to Medicaid recipients. The goal of the program is to improve quality and access,
have greater accountability for outcomes and create a more predictable and sustainable Medicaid budget for the state. On Monday Aug. 17, the Department of Human Services issued a notice of intent to award contracts for the following four managed care companies: Amerigroup Iowa, AmeriHealth Caritas Iowa, UnitedHealthcare Plan of the River Valley and Wellcare of Iowa. These contracts will be finalized in September. The Medicaid program currently serves nearly 600,000 Iowans each year, which is about 22 percent of Iowa’s population. Currently, Iowa Medicaid Enterprise is the state’s second largest health care payer. The amount of $4.2 billion is spent each year on Medicaid services. The managed care program is set to begin on Jan. 1, 2016.
Clarke students welcomed back by new science curriculum Monday, Aug. 24, began the 201516 school year for Clarke Community Schools. Halls and classrooms are now filled with students who are back for another year of learning. After three months of sleeping in and relaxing, it’s time for students to not only adjust to early morning routines and eight hour commitments, but also what the school board has been working on all summer. In an effort to initiate an effective “Replacement Cycle,” Clarke Superintendent Steve Seid and the Clarke Community School Board started reviewing the entire schools’ curricula — from kindergarten through 12th grade — and making the necessary changes to bring Clarke up-to-date and enhance the opportunities for better learning and development. Past years saw overhauls in math and reading and this year the changes are being made in the science classrooms “The programs we need for our students must take advantage of our current technology as well as the higher-level development demands Clarke students are showing.” Seid said. “The new science curriculum will be an entirely different approach — getting away from the ‘sit-and-get’ mindset and teaching students for comprehension and retention rather than pushing information toward answers on a standardized test.” The new science curriculum is in place for grades K-8 and encourages the students’ learning strategies to be more proficient when they reach high school. Conversations around programs like “No Child Left Behind” focus mainly on the disconnect from what the students are learning and what is expected to pass on standardized test. The state of Iowa sees the issue and is in the process of developing a solution. Smarter Balance Standardized Tests will soon replace the current Iowa Assessments. These changes will provide a more practical approach for students who are already learning the content presented in standardized tests while offering better compre-
hension and retention opportunities across the system. Seid and the school board made sure the curriculum Clarke adopted would align with core expectations from schools around the state as well as the nation, allowing a consistent level of proficiency and higher possibilities for in-state or out-of-state transitioning for colleges and businesses alike. “This curriculum encourages a deeper thinking from the students, and it’s more of a hands-on collaborative approach. Post secondary education as well as many Human Resources departments really like when candidates show the ability to collaborate,” Seid said. To get the curriculum, it’s infrastructure, supplies, and the proper training; the district shouldered an expense of just over $140,000. This fee not only encompassed the preparation of the students, but also the teachers at Clarke. Professional development costs were $5,000, new textbooks replaced the old ones for $98,000, and each year students will receive a their own personal notebook — an $8,000 expense. Physical science, biology, and chemistry departments were given a certain amount from the remainder for upgrades on technology, learning tools and other resources. In order to have a highly effective curriculum, the learning methods and expectations were researched based and managed by the board over the last year. The curriculum chosen includes proven, successful practices tested on students throughout academia. Clarke Community Schools preferred keeping these effective approaches while finding additional solutions that fit the district’s unique profile. “The decision to bring on this program and initiate bigger academic change goes beyond Clarke Community School’s physical facilities, athletics and extracurricular activities.” Seid said. “The focus of this whole thing is the curriculum. We want to ensure that our kids not only have a safe place to learn, but that they also have the most up to date, effective curriculum, taught by the most effective teachers.”

Graceland University is again one of the ‘Best in the Midwest’
Contributed photo
Pictured is a demonstration from Lamoni’s Civil War Days.
Reenactors celebrate the end of the Civil War sesquicentennial LAMONI — Lamoni’s 13th annual – and final — Civil War Days (CWD) re-enactment and living History celebrates the end of the American Civil War this Labor Day weekend in Lamoni. The event starts with a school day program 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, and runs through the weekend Sept. 5-6. “Civil War Days is an educational opportunity, a hands-on living history experience of mid-19th century U.S. life. It is more than guys with guns; it presents many aspects of civilian life as well. There are both military and civilian encampments, and period tradespeople,” said Doug Jones, founder and driving force behind Civil War Days. “When we began the Lamoni reenactment 13 years ago, I never imagined that it would become the success it has. We’ve had PBS and The History Channel film here, as well as a few independent filmmakers. It is a testament to the broad-based support we’ve enjoyed from the community and the reenactors. I think it is altogether fitting that we celebrate the end of that terrible war with our final event.” Civil War Days invites students – public, private, and home schoolers — and teachers from all over
the Iowa–Missouri region to attend the school day program, Friday, Sept. 4. Graceland University’s AmeriCorps Youth Launch and the Lamoni City Hall staff help organize the event. Students travel from station to station learning about Civil War era infantry, artillery, cavalry, and medical practices, play period games, and watch period tradespeople, weavers and spinners in action. CWD opens to the public on Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend at 9 a.m. with a skirmish to defend – or seize – downtown Lamoni. While on horseback, Jones will narrate the action so the public can understand the troop movements. “In this fight, spectators can be close enough to look over the shoulders of the reenactors and listen to the commands,” Jones said. After the battle for downtown Lamoni, all event activities move one mile west of town to a 38 acre pasture next to Home Pond at the end of North Mulberry Street. There, the public will find the encampments of the opposing armies and the main battlefield. Saturday activities begin at the main battlefield with a live mortar fire competition at 11:30 a.m. and conclude with artillery night fire at 9:00 p.m. There is a civilian Town
Square next to the battlefield, which becomes the center of activity and where period tradespeople, civilian living historians, and period doctors will make presentations. There is also period food available for purchase at affordable prices. “We try to present as well rounded a picture of the period as possible,” Jones said. Merchants, tradespeople, a root beer vendor and sutlers all either sell their goods or demonstrate their trades. Sutlers were greedy war profiteers who traveled with the armies selling clothing, weapons, tobacco and other items not provided by the army. Two large battles will be fought, one on Saturday at 2 p.m., another on Sunday at 1 p.m. “All battles are unscripted tactical engagements. The commanders are given certain objectives but must use their eyes and brains to outwit their enemy,” Jones explained. “The outcome is always in doubt.” These large battles are also narrated so that the public can understand the commanders’ moves. There are many non-military activities throughout the weekend. On Saturday, the civilian Town Square will feature a period fashion show, a period dance (complete with caller), period tea
ceremonies, a wedding anniversary, a period meal free to everyone in period attire, and a memorial to all living historians who have died over the last 13 years. There will be a non-denominational period church service Sunday morning, as well. “Be sure to check the schedule on the event web site for times of each activity,” Jones said. Lamoni’s Civil War Days Reenactment and Living History concludes with the 1 p.m. battle on Sunday. “It is sad to see the event end, but after 13 years, it is time to retire it,” Jones said. “We have had a great run and owe a debt of gratitude to too many individuals and organizations to name. This event always has been a community-wide effort.” In order to make the event accessible to all, there is never a charge for admission or parking with CWD. CWD is donation-based and supported generously by the Optimist Club of Lamoni, city of Lamoni, Lamoni Area Chamber of Commerce, Lamoni Development Corporation, Lamoni Lions Club and in-kind and cash donations from numerous Lamoni individuals and businesses. A detailed schedule of weekend events can be found at www.civilwardays. org.

LAMONI — Graceland University is again one of the “Best in the Midwest,” according to the 2015 evaluation of colleges by The Princeton Review. The survey rates fouryear higher education institutions on six factors: academics, admissions selectivity, financial aid, fire safety, quality of life and environmental sensitivity. Information comes from data reported by the university and its students, campus visits by staff, and panels of college counselors and advisors selected by The Princeton Review. Graceland president John Sellars said, “It is good to be recognized by an outside evaluator for something that we have known all along: that Graceland provides a solid, well-rounded experience for its students.” In addition to statistical information provided by Graceland, The Princeton Review summaries include consistent themes about academics and college life reported in student surveys. Students appreciate the fact that Graceland does not use any teacher’s assistants, and professors take the time to get to know the students and take an interest in their success. This designation as “Best in the Midwest” for another year speaks highly to the
personal attention students receive at Graceland. Personal attention paves the way for student success. This attribute was highlighted through many of the student surveys done by The Princeton Review, as well as in conversations with students on campus and after graduation. According to one sophomore surveyed, “The one thing I enjoy the most about this school is the relationships I have with my professors. Most create close bonds with students and really care about your welfare and success.” Graceland also scored well in “Quality of Life” issues, which includes Student Life programs and the campus environment. The survey data revealed very strong participation in intramural sports and 56 student organizations. The university also garnered favorable comment for its “green practices,” including the hoop house to grow and consume vegetables locally. Nationally, the survey’s “Best” list included 649 colleges, about 25 percent of the nation’s 2,500 four-year colleges, selected primarily for their academic excellence. Eleven other Iowa private schools and all three state universities made the 2015 list for “Best in the Midwest.”

Clarke offense sputters in opening loss By SCOTT VICKER
OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com
Things looked promising for the Clarke football team here Friday in the season opener against Saydel. The Indians marched the ball down the field on a 19play opening drive. But Saydel’s Jacob Philipsen intercepted Brandyne Olin’s option pitch at the 9-yard line and returned it all the way to the Clarke 39, killing Clarke’s momentum. The Indian offense never seemed to recover from momentum shift, as Saydel went on to post a 14-0 win. “We went 19 plays that first drive, but we fumbled too much,” Clarke head football coach Ron Dupree said. “That hurt us. That first drive, I thought we were going to be pretty good.” Clarke held Saydel out of the end zone on the ensuing drive, even though the Eagles started with good field position. Fumbles hampered Clarke throughout the game. The Indians fumbled the ball four times, losing two of them. A fumbled snap on a second-and-1 play early in the game stalled out a Clarke drive. “We had second-and-1 on two occasions and we fumbled,” Dupree said. “That’s not the time to fumble. That’s a sure first down. Then we had a 15-yard penalty and then all of a sudden we’re out of range.” But the Clarke defense again worked out of a jam, as Saydel had second-andgoal from the 5-yard line, but fumbled the ball, as Rich Wilkins recovered for Clarke. The entire first half played

out as a field-position battle, with neither team being able to break through. That was until late in the half, when Saydel punted and Clarke could not handle the punt. The Eagles recovered on the Clarke 11-yard line and finally broke the scoreless tie on a 9-yard pass from TJ Stephenson to Andrew Smith with 2:13 left in the half. The second half played out much the same way, with both defenses holding the opposing offense in check in a battle for field position. On Saydel’s first drive of
the second half, Stephenson lofted a pass to the corner of the end zone on fourthand-15, intended for Smith. But Gunner Sergeant got a hand on the ball and knocked it down to end the scoring threat. Clarke managed to move the ball into Saydel territory for just the second time in the game in the final minutes of the third quarter. But a holding call on firstand-10 set the Indians back and they were never able to cross midfield again. Saydel, aided by a 15yard facemask penalty, put
together a scoring drive to open the fourth quarter. Dylan Coffin, who finished with 103 rushing yards for the game, punched it into the end zone from 1 yard out with 7:01 remaining in the game to cap a 12-play drive for the Eagles and making
the score 14-0 after Oliver Rosengreen’s PAT. “I think we had some players out of position,” Dupree said. “That’s the trouble with a first-year coach. That’s going to happen. I think I misprepared them. Had a good punting game, good defense.
But not good enough on offense.” Clarke held Saydel to just 237 yards of offense, but the Indians were only able to muster 175 total yards of offense. Olin finished with 62 rushing yards on 18 carries, while Sergeant added 30 yards on six carries. Olin was 6 - o f - 1 9 Olin passing for 43 yards. Gabe Crawford caught three passes for 28 yards. Defensively, Olin intercepted two passes. Josh Carroll, who just moved to linebacker in the week leading up to the game, led the team with 11 total tackles. Olin fin- Carroll ished with nine, while Gable Reece, Nathan Bair and Sergeant each recorded seven total tackles. Andy Hurtado and Isaac Lewis recorded five tackles apiece.

Kade Kelso added had all taken hydration Dylan Callstrom had six Nodaway Valley 8 LAMONI — Central Decatur took advantage of a Nodaway Valley mistake on the opening kickoff and never looked back in a 46-8 win here Friday. The Wolverines failed to field the opening kick and Central Decatur recovered the ball. That eventually led to a 23 yard touchdown strike from Carter Boothe to Peyton Pedersen. Boothe added a 26-yard touchdown pass to Mickey Morgan in the first quarter and Rayden Boswell scored a 38-yard touchdown run to give Central Decatur a 22-0 lead in the first quarter. After the Cardinals recorded a safety, Boswell added his second touchdown of the game to make the score 32-0 just before halftime. Boswell finished with 82 rushing yards on 12 attempts. Boothe connected with Pedersen for two more touchdowns in the second half, as Central Decatur built a 46-0 lead b e f o r e Pedersen Nodaway Valley ended the game with a 40yard touchdown. Boothe completed 15 of 27 for 198 yards and four touchdowns, while Pedersen caught nine pass-
61 rushing yards on six carries, while Mickey Morgan finished with 74 receiving yards on three catches. The Central Decatur defense held Nodaway Valley to just 88 yards of total offense in the game. Kelso led the Cardinals with 4.5 total tackles, while Austin Barnes finished with four tackles, including two solo tackles for loss. Kyle Potter added a quarterback sack. Central Decatur, which is receiving votes in the Class 1A AP Poll, travels to PCM, Monroe on Friday.
Mormon Trail 62, Murray 44 MURRAY — A 14-point lead in the third period faded as Murray fell to 1-1 with a 62-44 loss to a physical Mormon Trail team Friday night. After a 30-30 halftime deadlock, the Mustangs moved in front 44-30. Mormon Trail then rallied, as some key Murray players were sidelined. “Some kids cramped up,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton. “It affected (running backs) Dustin Teals and Jack Jones, and Josh Barber. We’d already lost our middle linebacker, Zane Hatfield, with a dislocated finger in the second quarter. We had some freshmen playing against a physical senior class for Mormon Trail.” Fulton said the three
precautions during the week, but to no avail. “They are in on everything we do, but they were off the field much of the second half,” Fulton said. Quarterback Fisher Decker became a playmaker for the Mustangs Friday, partly out of necessity, completing 18 of 29 passes for Decker 267 yards and three interceptions. He connected with Jones on a 42-yard touchdown pass, one for 33 yards with Teas and another for 28 yards with Bryce Keller. Decker also carried 12 times for 31 net yards, including a 1-yard touchdown. Teas added a 21yard scoring run while netting 31 yards. Jones had 13 yards on four carries, and returned a kickoff 73 yards for a touchdown. Jones finished with 115 receiving yards on seven catches. Keller had two receptions for 93 yards. Teas caught seven passes for 37 yards and Tyler McMillen had a pair of catches. Barber had a busy night defensively, securing 14 solo tackles and six tackle assists with a quarterback sack and two solo stops for
solo tackles and six assists, including three tackle assists for losses. Quentin Siefkas finished with six solo stops and four assists. Wayne of Corydon, a 7426 winner over Grand View Christian on Friday, hosts the Mustangs this week.

Live man walking By The Rev. Dr. Al Adams
All conversation, all whispering, even all motion completely stopped as the big man was led into the large meeting room. Standing at six foot ten and over 300 pounds, Leon was quite a sight. As the guards took their places behind him, he turned to face the group of teenagers who had been brought to the prison as part of the community’s new “restorative justice” program. As he cleared his throat to speak, every eye was on him. When he spoke, his voice was as deep as the ocean and seemed almost as powerful. His gaze moved down the row of faces staring back at him. He cleared his throat once more and said, ”I can be a dead man walking…or I can be a live man walking. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I choose to live – even here, no, especially here. Live man walking, that’s me.” Noting confusion on some of the young faces, he added, “Young men, you have that same choice. You’re walking, no doubt about that, but as surely as that guy Lazarus in the Bible, you’re locked in tombs, graves. Only difference is, he didn’t put himself there. You, on the other hand – you locked yourselves in tombs. What I hear is, you’re dead men walking. Got questions?” Silence. Leon shook his head sadly. Then his eyes got determined, and he said, “Look, this is your four days in the grave. Right now. Will you come out alive, or will you stay in there till you’re completely dead? It’s not too late. No matter what anyone – and I mean ANYONE – tells you, it’s never too late to choose life over death. How about it, any questions now?” A hand slowly went up. “Mister….Leon…?” Leon regarded the young man a few seconds before he
answered. “Son, you haven’t lived long enough to call me Leon. Just call me Live Man.” “OK, sir….Live Man….so why are you in prison?” “Easy. I chose to be a dead man walking, and so I spread death. Sold drugs, killed a man. But mark my words, it’s never too late to come out of that tomb. Just ‘cause I’ll probably spend the rest of my earthy life here doesn’t mean it has to be wasted. Every day I can choose. I choose to be a Live Man Walking. You can, too.” Jesus began to cry. The Jews said, “See how much he loved him!” But some of them said, “He healed the eyes of the man born blind. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying? Jesus was deeply disturbed again when he came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone covered the entrance. Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said, “Lord, the smell will be awful! He’s been dead four days.” Jesus replied, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you will see God’s glory?” (John 11:35-40) Sometimes we find ourselves in a season of life that seems dead. We feel shut out, left out, overlooked, passed by. It can seem as if we, like Lazarus, have been locked in a tomb. Bad news seems to be all around us. Sometimes these seasons of life come as a result of our own choices and doing, or seemingly unavoidable life conditions. Sometimes as a result of choices those around us make. Leon (Live Man Walking) discovered something amazing: Jesus will bring life from death. As he did for Lazarus, he will strip the bonds of the grave from you and leading you out into amazing, eternal life.

NEWS Smith honored with statewide community college award THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 3, 2015
CRESTON — Jerry Smith, Southwestern Community College (SWCC) board of trustees member from Osceola, received the 2015 John P. Kibbie Award during the Iowa Association of Community College Trustees (IACCT) annual conference held at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa from July 22-24. Smith has served on the Southwestern Community College board of trustees since 1997. He has represented SWCC on the IACCT board since 2000, and has served as chairman
of the IACCT board for two separate terms. According to Dr. Barb Crittenden, Southwestern’s president, Smith is an advocate for the mission of community colleges. “Jerry is a powerful spokesperson for the role of education in improving the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities,” Crittenden said. Smith was employed by MATURA Action Corporation in Creston for more than 35 years. He served as their executive director from 2001 until 2011 when
he retired. In 2011, Smith received the Iowa Community Action Association’s highest honor, the Robert R. Tyson Memorial Award. He testified as an expert witness before United States House and Senate committees regarding worker retraining on two separate occasions. Prior to his position as executive director for MATURA, Smith was the Region 14 workforce director. The John P. Kibbie Award is given annually to an Iowa community college leader to recognize extraordinary
achievements, influence, and dedication to Iowa’s two-year college mission. The award is named for Iowa’s long-time state senator John “Jack” Kibbie (D-Emmetsburg). Kibbie served in the Iowa House from 1961-1964 and the Senate from 1964-1968. He was re-elected in 1988 and served until 2012. Kibbie has been a long-time, strong proponent for two-year colleges in the state. He served on the Iowa Lakes Community College board for 17 years, 10 of those years as president.
