15 years and counting Lakeside celebrates 15th anniversary with ribbon cutting

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

For 15-year anniversaries, it’s common for crystal to be given as a gift.

So, here’s a “toast” to Lakeside Casino on its 15th anniversary, which was celebrated Thursday, Oct. 1, at the casino with a ribbon cutting.

“Lakeside’s 15th anniversary is a big deal for all the staff, especially those who have been Thursby with us for the entire time, “ said Bob Thursby, general manager.

“We have several 15-year veterans and more than half of the staff has been here five years or more. More importantly, we have been able to support the state of Iowa and the city of Osceola for all these years.”

Lakeside has seen growth in its 15-year run, especially with an expansion in recent years.

About Lakeside Located on West Lake, the casino’s hotel has 150 rooms for guests to stay at, as well as an adjacent RV park.

For entertainment that’s not gambling related, Lakeside is able to draw celebrity performers and up-and-coming acts in its venue. An outdoor amphitheater is able to hold more than 1,200 people.

For dining, Lakeside offers a buffet, cafe, sports bar and Nibbles snack shoppe.

Currently, Lakeside employs 350 people. Thursby is the fourth general manager at the hotel and casino and has been there for almost seven years.

“I have seen pictures and heard stories about the opening,” Thursby said. “It

Needing the drive Clarke looks for more bus drivers for regular routes, school activites

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

You can’t get where you need to go if there’s nobody to drive you there.

This has become a major issue for Clarke Community School District. The school district doesn’t have enough bus drivers, and it’s not just for the regular routes.

It’s become a problem for scheduled school activities.

“We’re really in a critical situation to the point where Seid we’re not sure if we can make all the activities, and it would become where we would have to not attend or have parents transport kids,” said Clarke Superintendent

Steve Seid. “It’s quite a commitment to be a bus driver.”

Seid said if a bus driver gets sick, the school district doesn’t have the substitutes to replace them to drive students to where they need to be.

“It’s been a chronic problem, but it’s becoming a little bit worse because as drivers look to do other things or have other interests, whatever the case may be, we don’t have the back fill to have them replaced,” he said.

Filling in Seid praised Rick Perrin, Clarke’s transportation director, and other transportation staff for filling in when needed.

However, that creates a different problem of not having an official at the bus barn to answer the phones. The school district has had to hire associates to come in and answer the phones while the transportation director is

driving a bus.

Here’s what the application and hiring process for a bus driver entails: • Getting an Iowa Department of Transportation physical, which is paid by the school district • Having a commercial driver’s license (CDL) with passenger and air brakes endorsement. This is for licensing to drive larger vehicles.

• Partaking in a background check, which the district pays for • Undergoing a pre-employment drug test, which the district pays for • Driver training with 14 online hours and three hours in person scheduled. This is a one-time occurrence the district pays for • Random alcohol and drug testing • Three-hour annual face-to-face Please see BUS DRIVERS, Page 4

“Lakeside’s 15th anniversary is a big deal for all the staff, especially those who have been with us for the entire time.”

General manager of Lakeside Hotel and Casino

is interesting that the casino barge was built on the shores of West Lake, and after it was complete, the area that it was built on became the boat ramp for the city of Osceola.”

In the community Lakeside venue plays a pivotal role in the Osceola community, from hosting legislative luncheons to Clarke Community High School’s prom every spring.

Recently, Lakeside has become a member of the West Des Moines and Urbandale chamber of commerces.

“The greatest accomplishment has been all of the improvements our tax dollars have been able to fund,” Thursby said. “Casinos in Iowa pay a ‘casino tax’ on our gross revenue that other businesses do not pay.

These funds have enabled the county, city, water board and Clarke County Development Corporation to fund many worthwhile projects.”

If the first 15 years have gone by this quickly, imagine how the next 15 years will go.

“We foresee slow to moderate growth on a consistent basis going forward,” Thursby said. “We hope that will give us the ability to grow the number of amenities on our property and attract other development in the area.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Taking care of our land

By John Siefkas

President of Clarke County Farm Bureau

As a fifth-generation family farmer from Clarke County, it is important to me to take care of the land and protect our precious resources for the next generation.

We all know that farming practices impact everyone. The majority of Iowa farmers use conservation tillage practices and grass buffers to protect soil and water quality.

In fact, Iowa is a national leader in acres devoted to grass filter strips and buffer strips to protect rivers and streams from runoff. We are also planting cover crops to control erosion and add valuable organic matter to the soil.

Soil tests and precision ag technology help us place the right nutrients in the right amounts. We are also investing in nitrogen stabilizers to retain these nutrients in the soil, where they

can nourish our crops.

On my farm, I have seeded hay fields around my highly-erodible land and built grassed waterways to control water flow and prevent erosion. These eco-friendly management practices are among the many reasons why Iowa’s farmers have always been able to produce enough corn for food and renewable fuels like ethanol.

Going forward, we want to build on these successes while supporting targeted, voluntary water quality efforts like the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.

Iowa farmers will continue to find new solutions that benefit all Iowans.

It is important to me to pass on a productive farm to my children and grandchildren so they can enjoy raising their families on this farm just as my wife and I have.

Protecting water quality is everyone’s responsibility. Remember that the next time you fertilize your yard or play golf on your local golf course.

Lunches at Murray

By Kayla Siefkas Murray

My name is Kayla Siefkas and I am a junior at Murray High School.

As a student athlete, I urge parents everywhere to advocate for changes in school lunch guidelines because I can personally say that for athletes and many more students, the school lunches do not provide enough food or calories to provide needed energy and nutrition.

Too many students spend the afternoons distracted by hunger, instead of concentrating on class.

I understand changes were made to school lunch menus in 2012, as an effort to curb childhood obesity. Although eating healthy is important for students and young children to learn, the amount of food we are given simply isn’t enough for all students. Both athletes and non-athletes go home hungry nearly every day.

Healthy eating habits are important for kids to learn, but the meals also need to be able to fill us up, because without enough calories to sustain us, it’s too easy to fill that “hole” and just grab junk food. Eating junk food after school is a habit that leads to weight gain and endless cycles of energy spikes and valleys, which clearly wasn’t the intention of lawmakers and administrators who advocated the changed school menus.

A better option is to allow the school to have a more lenient menu, to cater to the students’ different tastes and calorie needs.

According to the following website http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/caloric-needs-athletes-7179.html the average male athlete needs about 3,800 calories per day, and a female athlete like me needs roughly 2,600-2,900

calories per day. Yet, school lunches only allow a maximum of 850 calories a day; that simply isn’t enough.

Without a proper diet, athletes will become tired and perform poorly when they play their sport. Playing a sport with a lack of energy can be very dangerous and cause serious injury to the player.

The lack of a good meat source on the menu is another big concern for me.

At school breakfast, there is no meat served unless you substitute a meat for a grain. At lunch, ninth through 12th graders are only allowed roughly two ounces a day.

Lunch preparers tell us that the protein served is sometimes not meat at all. I know their hands are tied.

“We live in a rural area where we are used to the meat and potatoes diet,” said Kathy Flaherty, head cook at Murray Community School.

Meat contains many nutrients that our bodies need to function, our muscles to contract and repair and vitamins for our bones to grow. The small portions of meat in school lunches is, in fact, taking away from the healthy diet that we are trying to promote.

The changes that have been made to try to promote healthier school lunches have caused students and student athletes to go uncomfortably hungry during the day. I write this letter to advocate on behalf of fellow athletes and students at Murray Community School and beyond. Lunches should contain more meat, provide more calories and allow students and lunch preparers more choices of fruits, vegetables and grains for students.

The end result will bring more satisfaction for everyone, which is to serve healthy lunches that are filling and more appealing.

BACK IN TIME W. H. Park

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society

William Herbert Park was born in Eddyville, Iowa, on May 23, 1870. His boyhood life was nearly all spent in Allerton. He graduated from Allerton High School and then studied law.

In 1892, he came to Osceola from Iowa State University where he had just graduated in law. In 10 years of practice in Osceola, he became highly successful. He served two terms as city attorney and associated in 1897 in a law partnership with the Hon. James A. Jamison, from which time the firm did a successful and lucrative practice.

As an attorney, he was shrewed, capable and successful. He was a vigorous man, a

“You want somebody that’s qualified that’s flying that airplane. We want somebody that’s qualified that’s driving our children back and forth to school,” he said. “It’s one of the most important things a school district can

lover of sports and possessed a great love of humor. He was a man with a clean, honorable life, loyal to his home and near friends.

Park surprised many of his friends by bringing to Osceola a fair bride, duly pledged to be his comfort and helpmate through both the sunshine and storms of life’s journey.

Park married Miss Eugenia Christy Dowden in Kansas City July 7, 1897. The bride was an estimable young lady of varied accomplishments and womanly grace. The marriage was an auspicious one with high hopes for the future.

Mr. and Mrs. Park were assured of the friendship of hosts and that degree of honor and success that attends those who respect home, life and work with high hopes for the future.

An affliction came upon Mr. Park when he was a rugged young man of 32 years, unusually strong both physically and mentally. He suffered severe pain under the left shoulder, it grew worse and he received no relief. He finally went to Chicago for consultation with a celebrated physician.

The disease in its peculiar nature baffled the physician and his assistants. The growth continued for months. Mr. Park displayed wonderful nerve in sustaining the protracted and intense pain and continued to be on the streets until four or five days of his death.

He died in 1902, leaving his wife and two children — aged two and five years. His wife Christy died in 1945. They are buried at Maple Hill Cemetery in Osceola.

Renewal requirements for weapon permits Iowa law governing non-professional permits to carry weapons changed Jan. 1, 2011. One major change was that Iowa went from a “may issue� state to a “shall issue� state.

Before 2011, individual county sheriffs had discretion to deny permit applications for any reason or for no reason. After the law change, sheriffs are required to issue permits to qualified applicants who have met the training requirements and passed a background check, unless that applicant is disqualified by law.

Another important change was that permits were now issued for a fiveyear period, rather than for

one year, as formerly.

Permit holders whose fiveyear permit expires in 2016 face some changes in renewal requirements.

To renew a current permit, the applicant must provide evidence of completion of handgun safety training or certain other firearm training, or the applicant may choose to qualify in a regular course of live fire under the supervision of a certified instructor.

A typical course of fire for qualification is 10 rounds at 21 to 25 feet. Many gun clubs will be holding qualifications this fall to accommodate permit holders who need to renew in 2016.

Iowa permit law requires

that an application for the questions, go online at dps. renewal of a current permit state.ia.us./SF2379/FAQ. must be received by the sheriff’s office at least 30 days before the expiration date to be eligible for the statutory $25 renewal fee.

C. Rapids Bayard 63, DMC 29 Murray 6 Interstate 35 23 COON RAPIDS — Quarterback Brandon Riley scored four rushing touchdowns and passed for two more in leading District 7 co-leader Coon Rapids-Bayard over Murray Friday night, 63-6.

The Crusaders improved to 4-2 overall and 3-0 in district play. The other co-leader, 5-0 Glidden-Ralston, visits Murray on Oct. 16 after a bye this week. Murray stands 3-4 overall and 2-2 in the district after Friday’s loss.

“We had missed opportunities, a few missed passes,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton. “We should have scored twice early and didn’t. Then we just didn’t seem to have the energy we normally come out with.”

Murray had the ball inside Crusader territory seven times in the game, but scored only on J a c k Jones’ 44yard run with 10:34 left in the g a m e .

C o o n Jones R a p ids-Bayard led 42-0 at halftime.

Riley carried four times for 74 yards and four TDs. Running back Sam Obert carried 10 times for 184 yards and two touchdowns.

Colton Lenz had a 46-yard rushing touchdown.

Riley also completed four passes for 71 yards including two touchdowns.

“Their quarterback is hard to tackle,” Fulton said. “He reads the field really well. They do a good job of spreading the field in running their offense.”

Jones carried 11 times for 71 yards for Murray, which was pressed into more passing situations than usual as the deficit grew. A 15-yard pas to Bryce Keller was the only completion, however.

Joshua Barber and Zane Black each had seven total tackles for the Mustang de-

TRURO — Four turnovers proved costly for Interstate 35 here Friday, as the Roadrunners lost to Des Moines Christian, 2923.

The Lions picked off three passes and recovered one fumble in the victory, while junior quarterback Nathan Herbers finished 13-of-20 passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns.

Des Moines Christian also got a boost from Antony Muse’s 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Jaylan White led the Roadrunners with 224 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, while White also going 8-of-14 passing for 171 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions.

Mason Cassady added 14 yards on the ground, while Beau Egli had 7 and Brayden Egli had 2 yards.

Cole Daniels caught four passes for 72 yards and a 61-yard touchdown. Daniel Kennedy had two catches for 51 yards. Taylor O’Dea had a 33-yard reception and Austin Beener caught a 15-yard pass.

Kennedy and Blake Kozak each led the Roadrunner defense with five solo tackles and six tackle assists, Beau Egli finished with six solo stops and two assists. Beener had four solo tackles and four assists. Dante Arzani and Chace Garner each had two solo tackles for loss, as Garner recorded two sacks and Arzani had one sack.

O’Dea recovered a fumble.

Interstate 35, now 3-3 overall and 2-2 in Class 1A District 8, hosts Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on Friday in the final non-district contest of the season.

Unfortunately, not all entries could place in a way they could go on to the Iowa State Fair. There were new participants and seasoned participants.

Three teenagers worked together as a team and offered some new recipes that haven’t been done before.

Their entry originally was called “Triple Threat Teasors,” three meat sandwiches. Unfortunately, the categories didn’t quite fit their work. So, they ended up just offering one for judging.

Following are the three recipes they worked from.

Brine for rabbit

Four C hot water, ½ C Kosher salt, two cinnamon sticks, one T crushed black peppercorns, ½ C brown sugar, one T ground ginger, two tsp chili powder, one tsp cloves, one bay leaves, four C ice water. Boil water, add salt to dissolve, add remaining ingredients and set overnight. Allow to come to room temperature then add ice water. Add meat until submerged and sit overnight.

Dry Rub: ½ C paprika, three T Cayenne, five T ground black pepper, six T garlic powder, three T onion powder, six T salt, 2½ T oregano and 2½ T dried thyme. Mix all ingredients.

Take rabbit out of brine and pat dry. Rub dry rub onto

Protecting our unborn children

By Pastor Sheldon Lorenson Faith Fellowship

Many of us were horrified and repulsed as we saw Planned Parenthood Federation leaders in undercover videos negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted children.

The cavalier conversations, over lunch, about such things ought to shock every conscience. For Christians, this atrocity ought to drive us to reflect on the literal crux of our faith, the cross of Jesus Christ.

The most ghoulish aspect of these videos is, after all, not simply that children are losing their lives. We knew that already. Beyond that is the way these children’s bodies are being used, divided up for parts, in order to enable clinics to “do a little better than break even.”

And, of course, there is the callousness of the consciences involved. How could one talk about where to “crush” a baby or how “crunchy” the tearing mechanism ought to be in such breezy casual terms?

Every human person naturally ought to recoil from such language. But for a Christian, especially, such language ought to trigger in us thoughts of Jesus of Nazareth, who identified himself with human nature, taking on flesh and dwelling among us (Jn. 1:14). Jesus is human — not “was,” mind you, “is”— meaning everything it means to be human.

Jesus demonstrated his solidarity with the human race by sharing with us every stage of development.

He was an “embryo.” He was a “fetus.” He was a nursing infant. He was a child. He is an adult.

An attack on vulnerable humanity is an attack on the image of God. And that image is not abstract. The image of God has a name and a blood type. The image of God is Christ Jesus himself (Col. 1:15).

Every human image-bearer is patterned after the alpha and omega image of the invisible God. And at the cross, Jesus stood with and for humanity in suffering.

We are often told that abortion is ethical because the “products of conception” aren’t “viable,” that is, they cannot live outside the womb.

This suggests that the value of a human life consists in its autonomous power. But Jesus was conceived in the most vulnerable situation possible in the ancient world — as a fatherless orphan.

He lived as a migrant refugee outrunning with his family the Planned Parenthood of his day, the King Herod, into a land hostile to his own. He died helplessly convulsing on a cross, dependent on others even for hydration.

Even in death, Jesus counted himself with thieves and was buried in a borrowed grave. In his humanity, Jesus wasn’t “viable” either.

We should work for justice for the unborn and for their victimized mothers. And, at the same time, we should speak to the consciences of those who see them as little more than pieces to be bartered.

What Planned Parenthood is doing, let’s be clear, is violent and murderous. But the gospel can convict consciences, even consciences darkened by violence.

And, when God saves such sinners, he often uses these trophies of grace to speak up for justice for those persecuted and mercy for their persecutors, through faith in Christ and newness of life in him.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Osceola’s manufacturing impact recognized by state, local officials When you have the governor and secretary of agriculture from your state come to your community to discuss business growth and achievement, you may be doing something right.

And for Osceola, the last month has seen just that. Over a short, 30-day time frame, Gov. Terry Branstad as well as Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey dropped into Osceola businesses to discuss the current state of affairs in southern Iowa and recognize the community’s predominant success in manufacturing and agribusiness.

“While the market may soft right now, it’s nice to see companies creating jobs and maintaining a level of work that can support a growing community like Osceola,” Branstad said during a recent visit to Altec, Inc. Not only was Oct. 2 National Manufacturer’s Day, but Mayor Fred Diehl took Osceola’s recognition one step further to proclaim the entire month of October as Manufacturers Month throughout the city of Osceola.

Diehl said, “Manufacturing jobs provide Osceola and Clarke County with a payroll

of over $51 million in annual wages. We certainly want to recognize the importance of our manufacturing community.”

During the governor’s visit to Altec, Branstad took the time to tour the recently updated plant and spend time discussing details of the company, it’s growth throughout it’s 86 year history and the impact their presence in Osceola and southern Iowa has had.

“One of the unique challenges the team had,” said Mark Wegel, Altec’s director of corporate communications, “was restructuring the management staff and workforce from the previous company to increase efficiencies and profitability under Altec’s management to meet our production goals.”

From the buyout in January 2014 to present day, the manufacturing output from the Osceola’s Altec facility has grown from a couple dozen fiberglass body components per month to more 100 units in recent months. This increase in volume is directly attributed to the strategies the new Altec management team created and the aggressive recruiting

and candidate evaluations that have taken place over the last year.

“Our business is growing so fast that they have to try to get the right numbers in to meet the demand we’ve seen in recent months,” Wegel said.

“With the number of manufacturing programs available locally, we see this kind of growth potential not slowing down soon.”

Bill Trickey from Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC) also brought information to the table for the governor and the Altec team, illustrating an aggressive trade education program being developed through CCDC, Clarke Community Schools and local businesses.

“We’re aware of the demand for additional workforce, and who better to train for these jobs, than local students and

the community surrounding these companies? We’re making sure the students are aware of the opportunities for work in Clarke County and Osceola and that a steady supply of young people are prepared for these important positions,” Trickey said.

Branstad went on to provide insight on additional programs available through Iowa Workforce Development and Iowa Department of Economic De-

velopment for manufacturing trade training programs and recruiting throughout the state.

Based on recent statistics from Iowa Workforce Development, the average annual manufacturing wage in Osceola is $46,483, compared to the county average of $34,000. The growth specific to this sector is partially attributed to new companies entering the community like Altec and others.

As manufacturing through-

out Clarke County and Osceola continues to grow, the opportunities for job growth as well as increases in income for the community look abundant.

Additional jobs and increases are projected to grow at a steady rate throughout southern Iowa making a significant impact on the entire area.

As Branstad closed the meeting, he said, “We’re excited to see companies like Altec lay foundation in our state.

We’re always looking for great partnerships to help grow our communities and help future generations sustain Iowa’s way of life.”
