The Smiths share their love for square dancing By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Everybody has a favorite song where they stop everything they’re doing and listen to it play. You know the one, it has a beat and melody that just wants to make you get on your feet. For Lester and Mary Ann Smith of Osceola, their song is “Fisherman’s Luck.” However, when that song comes on, they square dance to it. The song has a slow start, but picks up as it goes along. “We never want to miss that dance whenever they (play it). Because you hear the start of the music,” Lester said. “The beat,” Mary Ann added. “And, you say, oh my, that’s going to be ‘Fisherman’s Luck,’” Lester said. The Smiths have been square dancing for 35 years. They originally started in Washington state. “And, we’re still at it,” Mary Ann said. The Smiths took required lessons for the basic steps and moved up to the next plus level. The square is a group of eight people and they synchronize their dance to what the caller is telling them to do. “If we know the caller, we love to mess him up,” Mary Ann while laughing. Active in Iowa Since Lester was born and raised in Osceola, the couple decided to move here a few years ago. They brought their passion for square dancing with them and found a club in Creston. There are 33 clubs in Iowa and the Smiths are a part of the Southwest FederaSINGLE COPY PRICE: 75¢

tion, which has three clubs in the area. Members in the Union Squares club hail from Creston, Corning, Lenox, Osceola and Winterset. The Smiths are the only couple from Osceola in the square dancing club. “The friendship is just everlasting. They say it’s exercise put to music,” Mary said. The Smiths travel all over the state to dance, but their main club is in Creston. For the Smiths, square dancing isn’t a competition, it’s purely entertainment for them. Square dancers in the Creston club dance the first and third Friday of the month in the basement of the Methodist church in Creston. Dancers and visitors are always welcome.

If you need a way to remember Adam Gregg and his campaign, just think “AG for AG.” Gregg is running for the state’s attorney general in the November elections. Gregg, 31, is the Republican candidate who will face Gregg Democratic incumbent Tom Miller. “I think it’s time we have an attorney general who served as Iowa’s lawyer in-

stead of Washington, D.C.’s, lawyer,” Gregg said during an interview at the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune office. “I think our current attorney general, over his 32 years in office, has kind of lost touch with what Iowan’s care about. It’s because he doesn’t travel the state and doesn’t make him accessible to Iowans.” According to Gregg, he has outlined his ideas for Iowa families, farmers and constitutional freedoms. Cyber crimes One of his the goals is to create a division within the attorney general’s office focused on prosecuting cyber crimes and crimes against children.

“Almost everything in our lives is moving online, from campaigns to banking to commerce to our personal lives through social media,” Gregg said. “But, that’s also been true of crime, as well, unfortunately.” He said people don’t always recognize the triggers that classify something as a scam. Gregg said he doesn’t think Miller understands the trend of cyber crime, especially concerning the fact that Miller doesn’t even have email.

FOR THE RECORD

SHERIFF’S REPORT Steven Paul Jones, 24, of Des Moines was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia 3:45 a.m. Sept. 18. Jones was cited and released. —————— Jessica Jo Beals of Murray reported a Love Story wedding set size seven ring with two diamonds and one half of a carton of Marlboro

cigarettes were taken from her house between 1 and 10 p.m. Sept. 22. According to a Clarke County Sheriff’s report, the house was entered through a window. The ring set was in a closet and the cigarettes were in a bedroom. The incident is under investigation by Clarke County Sheriff’s Office. Loss estimate is $3,300.

Fred Diehl of Osceola, who is running for State Representative in District 27, outlined ways to focus on Iowa’s middle class and re-vitalize rural Iowa if elected to the Iowa House in November. The plan focuses on five major areas – boosting the middle class; building Iowa’s skilled workforce; re-vitalizing rural Iowa; preserving Iowa’s land and water; and protecting seniors, vulnerable Iowans and children. “In the Iowa House of Representatives I will focus on the lives of regular people and building a strong middle class,” Diehl said. “This plan will create new opportunities for people by working to boost our local economy, improving public education, and expanding job training efforts across Iowa.” Specific ideas outlined by Diehl to help the middle class include, expanding job training opportunities in our local community colleges, for workers to upgrade their skills; targeting state incentives to small businesses and entrepreneurs; working on ways to make child care more affordable; and giving Iowa companies first crack at state contracts to create jobs here in Iowa, not overseas. “Too many of our rural communities have experienced a decline in population and it’s time to work together and get rural Iowa growing again. I will partner with our local communities, as I have done as Mayor of Osceola for over 18 years, to help each build on their own unique strengths to create good jobs and improve our

quality of life,” Diehl said. The plan to revitalize rural Iowa also includes expanding broadband and wifi to more communities and small businesses as has been done here in Osceola just lately; supporting first time farmers, and guaranteeing that students and workers in rural areas have access and funding for quality public education and job training. Public education starts with preschool programs and runs through our community colleges and local universities and is vital to our economy. Diehl has a farm background, a degree from Iowa State in ag education and communications, and more than 25 years experience as a small business owner. Over the years, he has served on the state’s Vision Iowa Board, the Clarke County Hospital Board and has been active in the community as a member of many local civic and church organizations. He is currently serving his ninth term as mayor of Osceola. Diehl said, “I have never been afraid to speak out or to take on the powers that be, when I believed it was necessary in order to represent the people who elected me. As District 27’s elected representative, I will continue to listen to my constituent’s concerns and issues and make sure they are brought to the table.” More details and information on the House Democrats’ plan to build a strong middle class are available at www.iowahouse.org.

this year, eventually moving to 90 percent of assessed value next year. “For 30 years the Iowa Legislature talked about reducing taxes. Lieutenant Governor Reynolds and I are proud that in 2013 we were able to bring Democrats and Republicans together to give hardworking Iowa taxpayers the tax relief that they deserve,” Branstad said. “With the implementation of the historic tax reduction bill of 2013, Iowa counties now have the funds from the state to provide the tax relief to citizens across the state.” The historic tax reform passage of 2013 received strong bipartisan support. It passed the Iowa Senate 43-6 on May 22, 2013, and the Iowa House 84-13 on May 23, 2013. “As a former county treasurer who had the unenviable job of collecting taxes, I’m pleased to see that the reforms we put in place are being fulfilled and local governments are able to pass the savings on to the taxpayers,” Reynolds said. “For too long, local governments grew skeptical of the state meeting its funding obligations, but Governor Branstad and I are committed to continuing to honor our word and passing responsible budgets.”

Modern Woodmen of America

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society

The Modern Woodmen of America was founded Jan. 5, 1883, by Joseph Cullen Root as a fraternal society to “promote true neighborly regard and fraternal love.” The organization was insurance based to care for the members and their survivors. Trouble grew with this society when the founder was accused of paying death benefits to a widow whose husband never existed. He left this organization, and went on to found the Woodmen of the World in Omaha, Neb., on June 6, 1890, which was es-

sentially the same type of society. This society was in existence in Woodburn around the turn of the century, and by the 1920s, no mention of them was found in this area. The organization is still active in some areas. The following information was obtained from the current Woodmen organization’s head office: Woodmen Lodge No. 97 was located in Woodburn, Iowa, and chartered in April 1897. In April 1967, it merged with Oak Grove No. 6016 in Woodburn. In October 1989, Grove No. 6016 merged with No. 356 in Glenwood, Iowa, which still exists and is active. Records show that Hallie

Farm Bill — In 2014, a new Farm Bill was passed in Washington, D.C. It is a five year farm bill that reforms agricultural policy. One item of note that was changed in the bill this year relates to food assistance and how recipients can access their benefits. More than 400,000 Iowans receive Food Assistance. Under the previous farm bill, retailers that accept electronic benefit transfer, or EBT cards, did not have to pay transaction fees or for equipment and supplies. In the new bill, retailers will no longer get free equipment. They will also have to pay for supplies and transaction fees. This change could impact about 1,100 retailers in Iowa. These retailers currently use free machines to process EBT transactions. Previous-

Johnson of Osceola was Secretary of Lodge No. 97 when it merged. Sylvia Carlson of Creston, Iowa, was the last known Secretary of Grove No. 6016. The tallest building in Omaha is the Woodmen of the World Tower. Mrs. Rudiger, Mrs. John Cochran, Mrs. Mary Lamb, Irene Rudiger Mackey, Mrs. William Lewis, Corda Clark, Mrs. Frank Fox, Ann Carson, Mrs. Elizabeth Crowley, Mrs. Sweeney, Mrs. Mary Westbrook, Bessie Voris Hootman and Corda Cochran Stacey were members of the Woodmen Circle Drill Team.

ly, the state used federal funds to provide retailers with free equipment and to pay transaction costs for retailers who averaged over $100 per month in EBT transactions. Under the new bill, this will no longer be allowed. It is possible that smaller operations may not be able to absorb this new cost. The retailers that are currently using free machines will be allowed to

continue using them until Oct. 25. If they want to keep accepting EBT cards, they will have to lease equipment from Xerox. Replacement Cards — In addition to the Farm Bill changes, the Department of Human Services announced a new procedure for replacing EBT cards. The goal of this new policy is to limit the potential for fraud. If a Food Assistance recipient orders four or more EBT cards within a one year time period, they will get a notice about their card replacement. If they need more than four cards replaced in one year, they will have to call DHS and explain the reason for replacing their card so many times. They could be subject to an investigation. This change meets new federal regulations. However, the elderly and disabled population will be exempt from this change.

Clarke youths to celebrate National 4-H Week Oct. 5-11 More than 6 million young people across the country will celebrate National 4-H Week, an annual celebration of 4-H during the first full week of October. Clarke County 4-H will leverage National 4-H Week this year to showcase the things 4-H offers young people and highlights the incredible 4-H youths in the community who work each day to make a positive impact on the community. Local businesses are helping to celebrate National 4-H Week by showcasing a large 4-H sign one day throughout 4-H week. Look for this sign at the following local businesses: Sunday- Hy-Vee Monday- Clarke County State Bank Tuesday- American State Bank Wednesday- Ranch Cowgirl Couture Thursday- Robinson’s Friday- Farm and Home Saturday- The Harvest

Barn From Oct. 6-10, stop by the Clarke County Extension Office between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and get your picture taken with the #iam4H sign. Youths, volunteers, professionals and alumni are encouraged to share their pride photo on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, along with the #iam4H and #4HWeek hashtags. Clarke County also helped to celebrate by having a coloring contest for all youths in third grade and younger. This was open to everyone, not just 4-Hers. Coloring pages were available last week at the Clarke County Extension Office, The Harvest Barn and HyVee. These colorful works of art are currently being displayed in the window of the extension office throughout the week. Each participant received a small gift for participating. In Clarke County more than 200 4-H youths and 26

volunteers from the community are involved in 4-H. “Last year Clarke County 4-H increased its 4-H enrollment by a stunning 14 percent. I like to think it’s because the Clarke County 4-H program continues to evolve with the times” said Jennifer Pollard, county youth and outreach coordinator. 4-H Clubs are both general in nature where 4-Hers learn about many different topics and work together for a common goal. Other clubs focus on specific subjects such as dogs, shooting sports, horses and robotics. 4-H provides opportunities for youth to develop skills they can use now and throughout their life. Research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent findings from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that, when compared to

their peers, young people in 4-H are: • Nearly four times more likely to contribute to their communities • Two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors like, and • Two times more likely to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs in the out-of-school time. About 4-H: 4-H, the nation’s largest youth development and empowerment organization, cultivates confident children who tackle the issues that matter most in their communities right now. 4-H organizations empower 1 million young people in more than 50 countries. If you would like to learn how to become a 4-Her or volunteer please stop by the Clarke County Extension Office, call at 641-342-3316 or visit the website at http:// www.extension.iastate.edu/ clarke.

To the Voting Residents of Clarke County Many people are not aware that they have a voice in the selection of the members of the Clarke County Fairboard. The election is held annually on the second Monday in October. Members of the board are elected by the voting public at the Events Center at the Fairgrounds in Osceola. Currently three members of the Fairboard are NOT residents of Clarke County. This is in direct violation of the last set of By-laws adopted by the board on July 17, 1996. Article III Directors Section 2. Qualifications and Tenure

At the first Annual Meeting of the Members to be held on the regular scheduled October meeting date, shall be elected by written ballot from the voting delegates, one director from each of the twelve rural townships in Clarke County, Iowa and three directors at large. No member shall be eligible to become or remain a director or to hold any position of trust in the Corporation who is not a bona fide resident of Clarke County, Iowa. A husband and wife, either one, but not both, may be elected. Nothing in this section contained shall be construed to affect in any manner whatsoever the validity of any action take at any meeting of the Board of Directors.

The board has circumvented this section of the by-laws for the last twelve years and was made aware of this violation over a year ago. The Board currently has residents of Decatur and Madison Counties as voting members of the board. This is the Clarke County Fairboard; we are not a regional fair and will continue to be a county fair partially maintained by taxpaying Clarke County Residents. Remember that you have the last say about this issue by voting. Know who you are voting for and where they live.

Murray overcomes Clarke suffers 34-21 two-game deficit to beat CD homecoming loss OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

After tying the score at 7-7 in the first quarter, Clarke appeared to have positioned itself to be in contention for a homecoming victory over Davis County here on Friday. But the Mustangs scored the next 27 points on their way to a 34-21 win over the Indians. Clarke dropped to 0-5 for the season and 0-3 in Class 2A District 7 play. It was Davis County’s first win of the season, as the Mustangs improved to 1-4 overall and 1-2 in District 7. Justin Utt opened the scoring with a 60-yard touchdown run for Davis County with 10:26 to go in the first quarter. Clarke answered back when Junior Morales capped off a short drive with a 7-yard touchdown, tying the score after Gable Reece’s PAT with 2:52 re-

maining in the first quarter. But the tie was shortlived, as Matthew Hopkins returned the ensuing kickoff 79 yards for a touchdown. Davis County built a 28-7 lead by halftime, as Utt added a 20-yard touchdown run and Zach Houf caught a 41yard touchdown pass from Utt. With 2:44 remaining in the third quarter, Utt scampered in for a 65-yard touchdown run, but the PAT was blocked, leaving the score at 34-7. The Indians added a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.

MURRAY — After defeating Murray on Saturday in the Bedford Tournament, Central Decatur was one game away from repeating that feat here Monday against the Lady Mustangs, as the Cardinals held a 2-0 lead. But Murray won the final three games of the match to take a 25-27, 13-25, 25-20, 2517, 16-14 win over the Cardinals. The first game went back and forth, with Murray serving for game point at 25-24. But the Cardinals won the final three points of the game to escape with the win. “We played the first game well enough to win, but folded at the end,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. “Second game, our dobbers were down.” Spurred by a long service

string by Central Decatur senior Hallie Linhart, the Cardinals rolled to a 25-13 win in game two, building the 2-0 lead. Linhart finished the match with seven ace serves on 20of-22 serving. She also recorded match-highs in kills with 24 and digs with 19. Murray kept its hopes alive with a 25-20 win in game three, before picking up a big 25-17 win in game four to force a fifth and deciding game. In yet another close game, the Lady Mustangs picked up a 16-14 win to cap off the comeback. “Games three through five were very exciting,” Shields said. “If you left after game two, you missed your money’s worth.” Hannah Barber finished with 19 kills for Murray and Jade Lecy added nine with seven blocks. Shelby Myers had six kills and served 22-

of-23 with three aces. Barber was 17-20 with four aces. Madison Gonseth also served four aces, Barber w h i l e McKenzie Case was 20-20 serving. Brandi Gilbert set 30 assists for Murray. Barber had 14 digs and Case finished with 10. For Central Decatur, Jentri Hullinger added 10 kills and had four total blocks with nine digs. She also served 15-17 with five aces. Alex Graham recorded seven digs and served 17-18 with four aces. Raegan Boothe finished with 14 digs and four blocks. Lily Simon set 36 assists and had 14 digs.

Leftover By the Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

“They leave you out here too? Yeah, they’re in there deciding what to do with me. How come you’re here?” My boredom and impatience fled. Waiting for my friends to finalize the adoption of their new daughters, it seemed as though I’d been waiting hours. I hadn’t even noticed him, and I wondered how long he’d been sitting there. That’s how I met Jonah. Jonah had come home from a fun weekend with his best friend to find his entire family gone. Just gone. Jonah told me his parents had been fighting a lot about money; his dad lost his job last month. “But I don’t eat much, and I didn’t even ask for anything for Christmas.” He was trying to figure it all out. Jonah said they’d left a note telling him they loved him and he’d have to “be a man” now — at 12 years old? His parents had taken his four little sisters and brothers, but Jonah said maybe it was because teenagers were so expensive. He’d overheard his mother saying that the night before he’d gone to spend the weekend with his friend. “And I’ll be 13 next month.” Jonah mumbled, looking down, “I guess I’m like leftovers. When they get too old, you just throw them out.” It was definitely a “God-thing.” It just popped out of my mouth. “Jesus never throws away leftovers. He gathers them up. Really.After He fed over 4,000 people, He had His disciples gather all the pieces up, ALL of them.” I read these Bible verses to him: “And all of them ate and were filled; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.” (Matthew 15:37) I got the “yeah, right” look as my reward. So, I took Lochman, pastor, Sunday, 10 a.m.

that as an invitation, and I shared the stories of Jesus feeding the two crowds, four and five thousand — plus! And both times – Jesus’ disciples were careful to collect the leftovers. Gathered them in fact – in baskets. I told Jonah about Jesus’ first missionary (the crazy guy who lived in the cemetery – Mark 5), the king of all the “leftover” human beings. Hope. That’s what began to glimmer in Jonah’s eyes as we talked. I could just feel God at work. Oh yes, God’s power at work in us CAN do far more than we can ask – or even imagine. (See Ephesians 3:20-21) No one was more surprised than I when, a year later, Jonah walked into my science classroom. He’d had a rough year, but he’d found a caring foster family, and he beamed as he shared with me that his adoption would be final by the end of the school year. “My foster parents, they had one of those baskets you told me about that day. They just gathered me up, just like Jesus told those guys to do in the Bible!” Human beings have leftovers. Jesus doesn’t. We throw leftovers away. Jesus refuses to give up. He gathers them up in baskets. On your bad days, your “leftover” days, feel yourself gathered up. Know you are precious to God. Precious enough for God to send Jesus for you. Yes, you. On your good days, grab a basket. Reach out to the Jonahs you meet. Be a disciple. Spread eternal hope. You too can help God gather the broken. Just be open to the “God-incidences” in your life. Remember always — with Jesus, no one is a “leftover.” Escuela Dominical. Servicio. Martes Oracion. Jueves Misioneros. Viernes Hogares.
