Derby encourages early engineering skills — and friendly competition

By HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Cub Scout Pack 101 held its Pinewood Derby last Saturday in the Clarke Middle School gymnasium. The cars were raced on timed tracks.

Local Boy Scouts helped run the event, and people in the community stopped by with their own cars for the outlaw race, an annual fundraiser costing $5 per car.

“They can spend a whole year getting ready for it,” said Cub Master Calli Shields. “We hand out the kits ourselves a month or two in advance.”

The official Pinewood Derby Car Kit comes with a block of wood, four wheels, a few nails and not much else. It’s up to each boy to

design his own car, though help of a parent is encouraged.

“They can cut it out to whatever design they want,” said Rose Grief, whose son, Ivan, is taking part in his second derby. His dad, Melvin, is helping.

Most of the boys participate. The pack makes it as easy as possible by providing the car kits for free.

The finished product can weigh up to 5 ounces, be up to 2 3/4 inches wide and 7 inches long, and have a wheel width of 1 3/4 inches. There also needs to be a clearance between the car and the track of at least 3/8 of an inch. As long as they fit the measurements, cars can be decorated any way the racers please.

“The Boy Scouts always do a concession stand at the derby,” said Scout Master Sara Whirrett. “They also help handle the car for the youngsters, that way the little kids aren’t dropping someone’s car. It’s kind of a helping hand for both groups.”

Whirrett is a former Cub Scout leader and the organization’s treasurer. She started with the scouts when her oldest son was small, eight years ago, and now is helping older boys on their path to Eagle Scout.

“Very few kids ever acquire their Eagle. I have been lucky,” she said. “I have had at least one child a year earn their Eagle since I have been Scout Master, since 2011.”

It’s just one thing about the scout programs here that make them unique.

“Osceola is one of the few groups that really tries to pay for our kids to do things.

Kids who can’t participate in other things can still take part,” said Shields. “Parents pay for the first year, and as long as the kids come to the meetings, the pack pays the fees for everyone until they graduate from high school.”

The derby is free for Cub Scouts too, though extra car kits can be purchased for $5.

Looking ahead: 2017 resolutions for CCDC and community leaders It’s a new year! We fully expect that, like us, you’ve all made your New Year Resolutions. For many, the promises we make – eat healthier, get more exercise, finish a college course – are promises we make to ourselves. But, think of the resolutions the City and local business leaders make for the New Year.

The goals they set not only have to impact the business, services, and duties they’re hired, elected, or appointed to do, but directly affect thousands - you, your family, friends, and neighbors.

So, what have the city leaders resolved to address in 2017?

In a comprehensive planning meeting at the end of 2016, local business leaders, City Administrators, Clarke Community Schools, and County Supervisors joined the Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC) for a full day of research and planning for the upcoming year. Priorities from each group were covered, from sewer and wastewater management upgrades and planSINGLE COPY PRICE: $1.00

ning for future amenities to student achievement strategies and healthier lifestyle opportunities for everyone, although the day included conversations across a wide spectrum, ultimately the conversations kept returning to the community’s need for healthy and safe access to Trickey water. This issue came up both in the business analysis as well as the presentations centered on residents and the community members.

While discussions around water treatment and working with the supplies from West Lake continue, research shows if Osceola and Clarke County hope to expand or build infrastructure to help the community grow, a safer, more secure water resource must be established. With the continued efforts made by the Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC), the Index Church Directory .........7 Classifieds ...................9 Editorial ........................4 Neighbors ....................5

picture of business and community development -–not to mention quality improvement for existing water customers - looks much brighter today than it has in a very long time.

“We have well over 60% of the land needed and land management initiatives are under way,” stated Dave Beck, Project Coordinator for the CCRC, “We just need to keep the ball rolling.”

Understanding that making water more accessible, safer, and secure is of highest priority to the community leaders, there were numerous other topics discussed throughout the day’s planning session.

Ty Wheeler, Osceola City Administrator, discussed the need to continue the maintenance updates for the wastewater plant as well as corridor planning in hopes to bring the historic beauty of the square back to Osceola. He closed with an emphasis on providing cleaner water and access to the resources needed to allow the county and Osceola to grow.

Jean Bahls, curriculum Director at Clarke Community Schools, discussed the direction the district is going for the future of their students.

Not to brag, but Osceola is home to one of the best skilled nursing facilities in Iowa, and that’s not just according to the brochure.

A recent evaluation by the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals (DIA) found Southern Hills Specialty Care meets or exceeds all expectations and earned the “Dificiency-Free” rating.

“To help put this into perspective, there are 412 nursing facilities operating

in Iowa that are subject to annual inspections,” said David Werning of the DIA. “Only 5 percent were found to be deficiency-free. The facility and its staff have every right to be proud.”

The inspection, completed on Dec. 22, included an on-site tour, records check and interview with residents and their families. The rating is a first for Southern Hill Specialty Care, though previous infractions – such as an unlocked supply closet – were relatively minor.

The increase in home regulation has made the distinction next-to-impossible to achieve.

Branstad, Reynolds declare January “Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention and Awareness Month” DES MOINES – Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and Dr. George Belitsos, founder and CEO emeritus of Youth and Shelter Services, used the Administration’s weekly press conference to seek awareness and bring attention to the terrible crime of human trafficking.

“We depend on law enforcement and prosecutors to hold traffickers accountable,” said Branstad. “But we also count on schools, social service agencies, community groups and the general public to take actions to recognize and prevent human trafficking, and to protect vulnerable Iowans.

I’m pleased that we can do our part at the state level to

draw attention to this heinous crime.”

Lt. Gov. Reynolds added, “I am pleased to be able to serve as an honorary board member for the Network Against Human Trafficking and to have worked with Teens Against Human Trafficking in the past. We’ve made progress in our anti-human trafficking efforts in Iowa. But we still have more to do. Regardless of how human trafficking begins, it is important for justice system professionals and the general public to recognize the signs of trafficking, and raise awareness so that officials are able to appropriately respond.”

Last year, Gov. Branstad signed bi-partisan legisla-

tion to create the Office to Combat Human Trafficking in the Iowa Department of Public Safety. This effort was the result of repeated legislative actions to create stronger enforcement laws that punish human trafficking. The effort also was to provide better resources and create awareness around human trafficking.

“When the network began 10 years ago, human trafficking was not recognized as a problem in Iowa.

Thankfully, that has now changed and the response

by Iowa communities and government agencies has greatly increased,” said Dr. Belitsos. “The network is very grateful and encouraged by the support we have

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Angela Battle Woodburn

Clarke County shreds the scenic edges of its rural rock roads. This is going on right now on the rural road that I have lived on for 10 years. The county engineer tells me that it will look like a “clean, clear golf course” when completed. The county engineer dismisses the value of the roads edges to small wildlife and plant life saying that he in not managing the roads for “butterfly gardens” and that prairie is the “responsibility of the DNR and that there are prairie parks established for butterflies.”

The county has adopted the most extreme of possible solutions and the long-term Jane Fraser

For many people, ringing in the New Year brings hope and joyful anticipation. But for those who struggle with stuttering, the old fears of speaking and being teased remain the same—year after year.

Many of your readers don’t know that help for stuttering is available from so many places. Trusted information on stuttering is

Along the road there exists prairie remnants. Pesticide use will sterilize and eliminate these prairie remnants, these marginalized but very important food sources for pollinators.

Are there others in Clarke County who live along rural rock roads and have witnessed the first phase of this policy of road management and who did not know about the second phase of pesticide use?

‘Passengers,’ Rated PG-13 Review by HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Currently playing at the Lyric Theater, “Passengers” is the story of two space travelers out of thousands who wake up decades too early en route to a new world. Directed by Morten Tyldum, fresh from the helm of The Imitation Game, the sci-fi adventure/romance presents one of the most desperate, conflicting love stories to hit theaters in recent years.

While not without its plot holes -- or its wedge of cheese – “Passengers” is a complicated movie sporting stunning visuals and talented acting.

The movie begins as a malfunction wakes Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) from cryosleep 90 years early, leaving the mechanic to live out the end of his life alone on the ship. With only the robots

aboard the Avalon to keep him company, Preston teeters on the verge of insanity.

Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) wakes more than a year later. A brilliant, sophisticated author, she couldn’t be more different from Preston. The daughter of a Nobel Laureate, Lane intends to cover the colony on arrival then hitch a ride back to Earth on the Avalon’s return voyage.

Without a miracle, it’s clear neither will make it alive to their destination.

Pratt and Lawrence have a good onscreen chemistry, and both are equally convincing in their roles.

Rated PG-13 for sexuality, nudity and action/peril, and running 116 minutes, “Passengers” is an enjoyable hard science fiction movie that poses questions on morality, adventure and love that will follow audiences home.

BACK IN TIME ON THE SQUARE

By Marie White

Arlington House. The Hotel originally had 50 elaborately furnished rooms, each with their own stove or fireplace. It ceased operation when several rooms were converted to apartments. Note, the deocrative trim over the windows on the third floor is different from that over the first and second floor windows.

Bird Pritchett built the large, two-story brick Pritchett Opera House in 1877 on the southwest corner of the square. Pritchett’s Opera House was on the second floor. The second floor also rented to shows as they came through. Lectures, Royal Neighbors Lodge meetings, dances, banquest and box and pie suppers were also

Clarke County Historical Society

The courtyard square is surrounded by historical buildings.

The Westside Tavern was built in 1935 as a tavern and has continued as such since that date, the name has never changed. Manis McDougal, Tom Lingle and Gerald (Jake) McDougal were the builders. The first owner was Pearl Sanders. Other owners were Bert Marler, who owned it 16 years; Fred Pettis; Ed Press; Jim and Carol Gildea; Frank Goodrich, who was owner 16 years; and Pat Carson.

The Hotel building is an impressive landmark, built in 1884 at a cost of $20,000.

It was first known as the

held there.

The second floor was tightly locked for a decade, starting in the early 1900s, then came into use for basketball games during 1914-15. Entry to the second floor was on the east side of the building through the doors with “Entrance” marked along the top of the door frame.

Snowden’s garment factory, the U.S. Post Office, a grocery store, insurance company and abstract officers were some of the businesses that have been on the first floor. Today, Reynolds Law Firm owns and operates the building.

In 1947, Roy Lewish of Lewis Chevrolet built the brick building west of the Pritchett Opera House, which now houses the Os-

ceola City Water Department.

In 1902, brick masons pushed up the walls of G.T. McNeil’s 54 foot by 80 foot two-story double-brick building, with a tower and balony adding flavor to the south side of the square.

It’s not home to Kerr Dental Office. Two business rooms on the first floor and nine offices above all had modern improvements and conveniences. The second floor was later converted into apartments.

On the west side of the square, south of the Lyric Theater, is the Wyckoff Heating, Plumbing & Air Conditioning building. It was built in 2000 and occupied by a chirocpractic office.

Record-setting night for Clarke’s Olin in road win

BY RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

G R E E N F I E L D — Clarke senior Brandyne Olin had a night he will never forget in Saturday’s non-conference boys basketball game against Nodaway Valley.

Olin broke the Clarke single-game scoring record with 45 points as the Indians topped the Wolverines 92-76.

Olin came in averaging 12.7 points per game. He blew right past that in the first half.

Olin kept on scoring in the second half.

Olin was 14-of-17 overall, including 6-of-8 from 3-point range. He was also 11-of-14 at the free throw line.

The Indians made sure Olin had the ball in his hands often. Olin took advantage.

“The most impressive thing to me is that Brandyne only missed three shots,”

said Clarke coach James Larson. “Our guys did a good job of finding Brandyne.”

Olin utilized his advantages against an undersized Wolverine front line.

“He is a good four because he is strong and athletic to go against big guys and smaller guys,” Larson said. “Brandyne did a good job using his strength and quickness versus Nodaway Valley.

Clarke’s offense revolved around more than Olin.

Troy Morgan had 15 points.

Grant Wishon scored 11, while Lenny Peavy added 10 points. Morgan also grabbed 10 rebounds. Wishon had four blocked shots.

“We have been doing a good job of moving the ball and running the offense,” Larson said. “I liked how we have had five guys in double figures the last couple of games.”

Clarke started the week with a solid 68-48 win at Davis County in South Central Conference play.

The Indians pulled away in the middle two quarters,

outscoring the Mustangs 4417.

After a so-so week of practice over the Christmas break, the Indians gave a good effort in the first game of 2017.

“We were very focused that game,” Larson said. “I didn’t think we had good Christmas practices, but the guys were focused and played hard.”

Clarke was unselfish with the basketball. The Indians had 22 assists on 28 made baskets.

“We shared the ball well,” Larson said.

Connor Deutsch led the charge offensively with 17 points. Troy Morgan had 13 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and three steals.

Grant Wishon had eight points, seven rebounds and seven blocked shots. Cobey Robbins and Olin each added eight points.

Clarke improved to 5-5 overall. The Indians were at Chariton Tuesday. They host Knoxville Friday and Martensdale-St. Marys Monday.

Murray boys stay perfect on season Clarke girls hoops wins barnburner

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

Murray’s boys basketball team continued its strong start to the 2016-17 season with an impressive week to open the new year.

The Mustangs went 3-0, including a pair of wins in Bluegrass Conference play.

Murray’s success garnered state-wide attention. The Mustangs moved into the Class 1A Associated Press poll at the number nine spot.

On Jan. 10, the Mustangs held on for a 71-61 win over Ankeny Christian.

The Mustangs were on target offensively the first three quarters. Murray jumped out to an 18-14 lead after one quarter, then stretched it to 31-19 at halftime.

The lead was extended to 49-34 after three quarters.

The Mustangs were back on the court for the first time since Dec. 15 at Lenox.

Murray didn’t show much rust.

“We played well,” said Murray coach Darin Wookey. “I was excited about how we came out. You never know coming out of break after you’ve been off that long how you’re going to look and we looked pretty good.”

The Mustangs had strong balance. Dustin Teas led four in double figures with 22 points. Kenny Boles had 17 points. Reece Held chipped in with 13 and Bryce Keller added 10.

“That’s what you’re go-

ing to see out of this team,” Wookey said. “We’re pretty unselfish. We have different guys scoring from night to night.”

Teas buried a triple early in the second half to help open up the offense.

“He stepped up and hit a three, hit a couple of buckets,” Wookey said. “They had to step out and guard him there. They were trying to back off and help on the post. He hit that three and they had to step up and honor him.”

Kanye West would certainly appreciate Murray’s defensive performance as the Mustangs were “definitely in their zone” Thursday in a home win over Mount Ayr. After a hot offensive start for the Raiders, the Mustangs turned up the defensive heat, and pulled out a 57-44 win in nonconference action.

The 1-3-1 zone employed by the Mustangs constricted the Raider offense in the second quarter as Murray held Mount Ayr to just five points in the period.

The 61 points surrendered to Ankeny Christian Academy Tuesday were the most Murray had given up this season. Thursday was a return to a slower-paced game more closely resembling what the Mustangs succeed in.

Offensive spurts from nearly all of the Mustang starters helped propel Murray to success in the second, third and fourth quarters.

Thane Simmons took ad-

vantage of the Raiders pulling the backside of the zone too far away from their basket, and scored several easy baskets in the second quarter. His eight second-quarter points helped Murray jump on top.

“One of the things we’ve been trying to do is use our bigs more,” Wookey said. “I thought both of those guys Bryce (Keller) and Thane (Simmons) both stepped up tonight.”

The third quarter solidified that. Keller and Kenny Boles took control for Murray, and Jones helped pick up the slack in the fourth.

All had strong second half performances.

“I like calling him (Jones) an undersized forward,” Wookey said. “... He’s one of the toughest kids in there.”

Jones finished with 14 points and was one of three double-digit scorers for the Mustangs. Keller had 13 and Simmons scored 12.

Murray closed out the week with a 74-42 win over Lamoni.

Murray jumped out to an 18-8 lead after one quarter, then took control with a 22-7 second quarter to lead 40-15 lead at halftime.

Boles powered the offense with 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting. He added seven rebounds and four assists.

Simmons had 11 points and eight rebounds. Keller had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Held added eight points.

Murray (9-0) is at Seymour on Tuesday and hosts East Union Thursday.

Interstate 35’s girls basketball team bounced back from some of its recent struggles.

The Roadrunners started off 2017 with a pair of wins in Pride of Iowa Conference play, while falling in a non-conference contest.

Interstate 35 downed Southeast Warren 53-23 on Jan. 3 in Liberty Center.

The Roadrunners led 12-5 after one quarter and 31-9 at halftime.

scoreless for the first 10 minutes in rolling to a 63-17 win.

“It was good week for us,” said Interstate 35 coach Jamie Smith. “We had two home games. That was helpeful. We were fortunate both nights we played good defense.”

Interstate 35 led 18-0 after one quarter and 36-8 at halftime.

Slye Richardson broke out of her recent shooting slump with a game-high 20 points. Richardson hit 5-of-9 from 3-point range.

“Some people get nervous about her, I don’t get nervous about her. She’s started four years for us. I know what she’s capable of. It was a matter of time. She came in (Friday) morning put up a couple hundred 3-pointers on her own. She’s a good shooter. She’ll get on track sometime,” Smith said.

Griglione added 17 points

and 10 rebounds. Hiatt and Carli McCuddin each scored seven points.

Maquoketa Valley pulled away in the second half to top Interstate 35 48-35 Saturday at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids.

Clarke’s girls basketball team started the new year with one of the wildest endings anyone associated with the Jan. 3 game against Davis County will ever be a part of.

The Lady Indians held on for a wild 54-53 win in South Central Conference play.

Clarke took the lead on a free throw by Vanessa Bakley with three seconds left. She missed the second one and Davis County grabbed the board.

Bakley fouled a Mustang as time expired. The Mustangs missed both free throws.

“It was unlike any ending I’d ever seen,” said Clarke coach Eric Zoske.

“It was good. It was mixed emotions after we knew we had won it, then we thought we lost it. You

take it however you can get it sometimes.”

The Lady Indians won for the fourth time in five outings.

“It’s always nice to go on the road during break.

You never know what to expect,” Zoske said. “We played well enough to win.

We’re happy to be on the right side of the scoreboard.”

T h e Bakley Lady Indians win capped a back-and-forth game. Clarke led 13-6 after one quarter and still led 25-24 at halftime. Davis County outscored Clarke 16-8 in the third to hold a 40-33 lead after three quarters.

Clarke outscored Davis County 21-13 in the fourth quarter.

Sydnee Redman led

Clarke with 14 points.

Megan Linskens and Des Stubbe each had 12 points.

Ashlynn Oehlert grabbed 14 rebounds.

Clarke fell at Nodaway Valley 73-30 Saturday.

The Wolverines led 27-9 after one quarter and 4317 at halftime.

The Lady Indians had no answer for the Wolverines’ inside tandem of Paige McElfish and Josie Clarke.

Clarke had 19 points and McElfish had 17 points.

“Josie is so much taller than us. She has a good four inches on us. Paige, she’s just a bruiser. Outside of CD (Central Decatur), she’s the best player we’ve seen,” Zoske said.

Megan Linskens led Clarke wtih nine points.

Oehlert added eight points, while Vanessa Bakley added six points.

Clarke (4-7) hosts Knoxville Friday.

Murray girls win pair of league games

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

Murray’s girls basketball team survived a challenging week, going 2-1 with a pair of Bluegrass Conference wins.

On Jan. 10, the Lady Mustangs downed Ankeny Christian Academy 56-46 It was Murray’s first action since Dec. 15.

The Lady Mustangs remembered how much they enjoyed playing games more than practice.

“You miss it after awhile,” said sophomore Breianna Klein. “You want to get back out there. Practice isn’t as fun as games.”

Lady Mustangs coach Jerry Shields challenged the team to step up its defense in the second half.

Murray certainly did so, holding Ankeny Christian to 17 points in the final two quarters.

“It was a tale of two halves,” Shields said. “Basically it was two different games.”

The score was tied at 37-37 after three quarters.

Murray outscored Ankeny Christian 19-9 in the final eight minutes.

Katie Otto had a gamehigh 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting, to go with seven rebounds, four steals and three assists. Ally Waske had 10 points on 5-of-8

shooting. Gilbert had nine points on 3-of-3 shooting.

Hatfield dished out six assists and grabbed four rebounds.

Murray hung right with C l a s s 2A fifthranked Mount Ayr but e v e n t u - Klein ally fell 51-40.

The Lady Mustangs had their share of offensive rebounds.

Murray couldn’t effectively capitalize on its second looks. The Lady Mustangs were just 16-of-64 from the floor, 25 percent.

Some of Murray’s shooting woes could be attributed to the presence of Mount Ayr post standout Kelcie Shields. Shields finished with eight blocked shots and altered numerous others.

“Too much Kelcie, intimidating our shots inside,” coach Shields said.

Murray had a couple of opportunities late in the third quarter to cut Mount Ayr’s lead to one possession, but could not.

The Raiderettes capitalized offensively and started to pull away. Mount Ayr led 38-29 after three quarters.

“We missed a lot of shots inside,” coach Shields said.

“If we could’ve made them, it would’ve been a different ball game. That’s why you play the game.”

Zadie Hatfield’s 12 points led Murray.

After a bit of a lackluster effort against Ankeny Christian, coach Shields saw a much better effort from the Lady Mustangs Thursday.

“We played right with the number five team in 2A,” coach Shields said. “I don’t have any complaints. I was proud of them.”

The Lady Mustangs ended the week with a solid 5530 home win Friday over Lamoni.

Murray led 17-8 after one quarter and 32-20 at halftime. The Lady Mustangs outscored the Demons 15-4 in the third quarter, taking a 47-24 lead after three quarters.

Finding enough energy was a challenge for the Lady Mustangs, playing their third game in four days.

“We had to really play through some tough times of having tired legs by going back-to-back nights,” Shields said. “We got out and finished with some good run outs.”

Klein and Wooke each scored 13 points. Katie Otto added 11 points and eight rebounds. Gilbert chipped in with eight points..

Murray (8-2, 4-1) was at Seymour Tuesday.

into what is bedrock truth - Jesus Christ. Those who claim Jesus as Lord and Savior are called to live in that Truth. We are called to walk in His Way, to live connected to His Life. Way. Truth. Life. These are the deep connections we claim as disciples of Christ.

Scripture speaks of many “antichrists” that have come (see 1 John 2:2125). Anything that tempts us, pulls us, hooks into our very human temptations and cravings is an “anti-Christ” force in our world. These things work against the Truth that is Jesus the Christ. They weaken our faith connections, and sometimes even threaten to destroy them. But God never gives up on us.

God wants a deep connection with us. Christ came to point the way for us! As Ashley put it so well, His love-and-grace-filled connections with us are deeper than any fear, any hurt, or any mistakes we’ve made.

So let’s get - and stay connected.Deeply. Strongly.

Forever!

“When I came here, I had no clue why. I mean, I haven’t been in a church since I was five years old.

That’s the year my folks got their divorce and I had to go live with Aunt Tasha. But my friend Mia invited me here. She said it’d be fun, and they’d have free food (the kind I like).

And really, who’d miss free chocolate? Not me!” She took a deep breath.

“Anyway, I figured out that Jesus is really real this weekend. I learned to see a lot of things for what they really are - lies. And you know what? A lot of people like me, we believe those lies! Pretty soon we’re living those lies, and we don’t even realize it because it feels so....normal.”

She looked at her new friends surrounding her as she stood at the podium.

One of them whispered in her ear and handed her a tissue.

“Oh yeah. I’m Paula, and we’re from the table of ‘Truth Wins!’. Anyway, .....” She dabbed tears from her face as she found her voice again. “Anyway, truth really does win. People kept telling me that

knows where he is these days. I’m seventeen, and none of those help places want to help me, ‘cause I’m too old. Too old! I always thought, you know, seventy or eighty would be too old for something, but seventeen? Anyway, I found out I can never be too old, or too young, or too anything for God to love me.

Jesus will always want me, and that’s the truth. Paula’s right. I’ve got connections I never even thought about before. When the world dishes out its lies, I’ve got forever truth in Jesus. I’m gonna live in those connections, because they’re deeper than any hurt I’ve ever had, deeper than any fear I’ve got, deeper than any mistakes I’ve made, and deeper than anything I could ever think of. I’m ready!”

As Ashley turned from the microphone, Paula caught her in a strong embrace. Soon all five young women were holding on tightly to each other. As they made the way back to their seats, ‘amens’ filled the air. This had been some weekend!

“So I’m going to go back home and find a church that knows the real Jesus, a place that will help me hold onto Him and learn from Him, a place that will help me grow some deep faith connections. My new friend Ashley says I can come check hers out, but no matter what, I’m just going to keep learning and living more of the real truth!”

As Paula stepped to the side, the young women looked at each other to see who’d brave the microphone next. They’d all been on a special retreat, a time away to get closer to God and deepen their lives as followers of Christ, and they’d been invited to share what the retreat had meant to them during the evening’s closing worship.

Ashley stepped to the microphone. She took a deep breath, and this time Paula handed her a tissue and laid a hand gently on her shoulder. “OK,” she began, “It really is almost time to go back home. Home. Well, I’m going to need His truth where I live. Right now I’m living in the shelter at the Christian Church down the street from here. My mom’s in jail and my dad, well, who

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Spreading the word about Two Clark school teachers to Clarke County bus services attend ISGC Academy at NASA “Wheels on the Bus Go Where?” has been a recent transit initiative sponsored by Chariton Valley Planning & Development Council of Governments/ RPA 17. Executive Director, Nichole Moore, states “it came to our attention that there were many people in our communities were not aware of how to utilize public transportation that is currently available”.

CVPD held county meetings in Appanoose, Clarke, Davis, Decatur, Lucas, Monroe, and Wayne Counties to discuss local challenges and to educate people on how to arrange a ride.

Southern Iowa Trolley ( SIT) provides door to door service in seven southwest Iowa counties: Adair, Adams, Clarke, Decatur, Ringgold, Taylor and Union.

This form of public transportation is unusual yet very much appreciated by all who use the service. With just one call, you can have a bus or van pick you up at your front door and drop you at the location of your choice.

SIT dispatchers are friendly and helpful. All of the drivers are trained professionals with the safety of our passengers in mind.

They are always willing to escort you door to door.

Each vehicle is ADA accessible.

This service supplied by Southern Iowa Trolley has provided riders of all ages the ability to get around town on their own. We can set up an appointment for you in advance or the same day service is also available.

For all your transportation needs please contact us at 866-782-6571 for information or visit our web site www.southerniowatrolley. org . Tickets can be purchased from the driver or in the dispatch office. Cash and checks are accepted.

The type of service SIT provides is “Demand-Response” which indicates that rides are provided when a request is made. There are also a few pre-determined

routes in the counties or communities. Arranging the ride request in advance is critical as rates can often be lowered when individuals’ needs are coordinated with others.

Another critical component is that the size of wheelchair can determine what vehicle needs to be used to transport an individual. Larger wheelchairs require service to be provided by a bus instead of a van due to lift capabilities.

SIT has r e c e n t l y Lester increased its staff from 32 to 37 people to provide better service.

Service is provided weekdays to Adair, Adams, Clarke, Decatur, Ringgold, Taylor & Union Counties from 7am-4pm. In town trips are $3.25/each way & trips in the county are $3.50/ each way if it’s on an already arranged route. Out of town rates can vary but are generally $14.50/hr + round trip mileage of $1.50/mile.

There are currently 2 buses & 2 vans in Decatur County with one FT driver and two PT drivers. Clarke County has 4 FT drivers and 2-3 PT drivers that operate 4 buses and 2 vans. The annual ridership numbers for Decatur County average 6,500-7,000/year and Clarke County 33,000-35,000/year.

Clarke County has a much greater service due to the larger population and Osceola is a local hub for employment and services. Osceola also offers a taxi service to the area which is utilized by service providers when the Trolley is unavailable.

“A frequent misconception is that the transit service is only available to the elderly or the disabled and that simply isn’t true” states Leesa Lester, Southern Iowa Trolley Transit Director. “We provide transportation to anyone that needs a ride.”

SIT Transit works hard to efficiently coordinate trips with other individuals and sometimes with neighboring counties so it is important to schedule the ride one business day ahead. The process can become slightly more complicated when the service is paid by a Managed Care Organization because it just requires a few more steps in the process. The transit service provides trips within a community, within a county, to neighboring counties and frequently to Des Moines or Iowa City.

The service can be utilized by people of all ages. There are school-aged children that are taken to school, families taken to visit friends and individuals transported to the bank or the store to run errands.

SIT offers a ticket system to communities. The tickets can be purchased by entities and distributed to individuals that need transportation but may not have the funds to pay for the service. Examples include the community college (SWCC) in Creston offering it to college students and GED students.

During the workshop, the teachers, who include teachers from elementary to high school teachers throughout the state of Iowa, will tour the space c e n t e r , Myers interact with NASA scientists and education specialists, and participate in educational workshops. In turn, the teachers will take what they learned during the workshop and apply it to their curriculum.

The teachers will work with former NASA Astronaut, Robert L. Stewart throughout the workshop, which runs from February 8-11. Brigadier General Stewart completed two missions to space from 19841985.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Q&A with Iowa Rep. Joel Fry Q. What’s in the works for 2017?

I have been named the Human Resource Committee Chairman, and so I will be spending much of my time working through legistlation that will be introduced into that committee. I expect we will be doing some review and work on our current regional mental health program, as well as making sure the most vulnerable Iowans are protected and cared for. We will continue to provide oversight to the new Medicaid Modernization process and take action if/where needed.

Q. Which issues will be highest priority?

I expect the next session to again focus on a balanced budget and making sure we fund Iowan’s priorities, like education, Medicaid and public safety, just to name a few — all this, while also making sure we protect the tax payer’s dollar. We are coming into session with less tax revenue than originally predicted, so new dollars for the state budget are less than predicted.

I also expect water quality to be a key discussion.

Q. How does it feel to be

re-elected?

As always, it is a priviledge to represent House District 27. I look forward to hearing input and thoughts from across the district.

Rep. Fry’s forum dates are as follows: February 3 March 3 April 7 8 a.m. Farm Bureau, Coryd-
