Back to business Osceola Farm & Home to rebuild after devastating fire

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

You can’t keep a good store down for too long.

After a fire destroyed the long-standing business Osceola Farm & Home Sunday, it seemed the questions on everybody’s lips were, “What’s going to happen next? Are they going to rebuild?”

Osceola Farm & Home is owned by brothers Jeff and Patrick Edwards. The supply store in Osceola has been in the family since the 1970s.

In a letter to the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune, Jeff Edwards said, “It’s a great comfort to know that we have the support of our community, and we are inspired to rebuild as quickly as possible so we can once again have the privilege of serving the greater southern Iowa community.”

No injuries were reported with the fire, which is fortunate since the blaze was severe enough to have eight area fire departments respond to the call for mutual aid.

The farm and home building, which also housed a tire shop, was considered a total loss after the fire.

As of this time, the cause of the fire is still unknown.

However, the fire will continue to be under investigation by Osceola Fire Department, Osceola Police Department and the State

“It’s a great comfort to know that we have the support of our community, and we are inspired to rebuild as quickly as possible so we can once again have the privilege of serving the greater southern Iowa community.”

— Jeff Edwards

Edwards said work is being done to find retail space to provide the basic items they were known for to the community. It may be a smaller space with limited products, but down the road, a larger store is being planned to replace the old one.

Edwards added, he wanted to give a big thank-you to the community for their continued support.

“We don’t have final answers yet on the cause of the fire or the amount of the loss, but we are focused on getting back in business as quickly as we can for your sake and ours,” Edwards said.

Hardy selected to All-State orchestra for second year in a row A Clarke Community High School student has attained one of the highest individual honors a high school musician can receive — for the second year in a row.

Taylor Hardy, a junior, was selected as a member of the 2014 All-State Orchestra. She is a French horn student of Brad Lampe and Mike Peters.

Hardy is the daughter of Tanya and Dan Hardy of Osceola.

Clarke had eight students represent the school at the 2014 Iowa All-State Auditions at Indianola High School on Saturday, Oct. 25. The auditions were for the 281-piece All-State Band, 201-piece All-State Orchestra and 601-member All-State Chorus.

Auditions are held at Storm Lake, Hampton, Manchester, Harlan, Indianola and Washington. Approximately 17 percent of the students who audition are selected for membership in the All-State ensembles.

This audition takes a great deal of time, dedication, practice and courage.

Lampe, Clarke high school band director, said he is proud of all eight of the students who auditioned from Clarke.

Hardy received the top honor in French horn by being chosen on first part in the orchestra. This is the highest individual honor that a player can receive in the district.

Audrey Sebring (senior, trumpet) and Reed Morris (sophomore, trumpet) were recalled but were not accepted into the band. This means that they made the first cut, which is still a high honor Other students who auditioned were Terence Havlik (senior, Tuba), Dakota Davis (senior, flute), Nick Johnston (junior, clarinet), Kayci Mongar (sophomore, clarinet), and Taylor Jorgensen (senior, percussion).

Participants in the All-State ensembles will rehearse in Ames on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 21 and 22, and the Festival Concert will be presented to the public at 7:30 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum at Iowa State University in Ames on Saturday, Nov. 22.

Influenza activity low in Iowa, but two strains circulating Surveillance by the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network shows while flu activity in the state is slowly increasing and remains low, there already are two strains of the virus circulating. “This is the perfect time to get your flu vaccination,� said IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “Identification of two circulating strains by the State Hygienic Lab means that without a flu vaccination, an individual could become ill with the flu two different times.�

This season’s flu vaccines cover three or four strains of flu, depending on which type of vaccine you receive. Quinlisk said the early identification of several flu strains circulating in the state means the upcoming influenza season could be more severe than a typical season.

IDPH and the CDC recommend annual influenza vaccinations for everyone 6 months of age and older.

It’s especially important to be vaccinated if you have regular contact with people more vulnerable to the complications of flu, including babies, children with asthma, and the elderly. IDPH also recommends pregnant women be vaccinated to protect themselves, and to pass on some immunity to their baby.

The flu is a serious respiratory illness caused by viruses.

The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness,

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches.

Illness typically lasts two to seven days, and often puts healthy people in bed for days. Influenza may cause severe illness or even death in people such as the very young or very old, or those who have underlying health conditions.

Influenza is not a ‘reportable disease’ in Iowa, which means health care providers are not required to notify IDPH each time a patient tests positive for influenza; however, IDPH conducts year-round statewide influenza surveillance through the Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network. This surveillance indicates what types of influenza viruses are circulating and how widespread influenza illness is. For more information about where and what kind of influenza is in Iowa, go to www.idph. state.ia.us/Cade/Influenza. aspx?pg=FluHome.

Contact your health care provider or local health department to find out where the vaccine is available in your community or use the Flu Vaccine Finder at www. flu.gov/.

Get ready for the snow ordinance

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Clarke Community Elementary update for November 2014

By Jill Kiger

Clarke Community Elementary School principal

As we reflect on the start to the year and being thankful for our schools, here is a quick summary.

Fall testing is complete and students are working in their leadership portfolios setting goals and tracking data.

Conferences were attended by over 90 percent of our families. An assembly reminding our students that bullying is not allowed — we don’t do that here — was held.

Students with perfect attendance were recognized at the end of quarter one.

Every Tuesday, students demonstrating outstanding character are chosen to attend breakfast at HyVee. Thanks Hy-Vee! The parking lot was surfaced and a new sidewalk was put in for staff to get safely to the building.

The preschool students will be going to the bowling alley as the conclusion to their unit on spheres. New social skills curriculum is being used in preschool-sixth grade called 2nd Step. Teachers notice students using the language, as well as parents of preschoolers have reported children using the skills at home.

Red Ribbon Week was celebrated to take a stand against drugs.

Things to look forward to in the coming months: Why code? Coding helps develop critical thinking skills, math skills and communication skills. Coding utilizes the Iowa Core and 21st century skills so students can use technology to create original works, collaborate, investigate real world problems, understand and practice safe and legal uses of technology and learn the different parts of technology.

The week of Dec. 8, all students

at Clarke Elementary will have between 30 minutes and 45 minutes to code during their computer specials.

Many will ask to finish at home or the following week in school. It doesn’t have to be code week to get student’s coding.

Students can check out code.org or try Scratch which was developed by MIT. Scratch is free and web based so students can find a project that interests them, work on it at school, save it and work on it at home or at school later. There is also Scratch Jr. for iPads.

Many students and first time coders will take to coding with amazing speed and find that coding is much easier than people realize so students and parents or grandparents can code together.

The sixth grade band will be having their winter concert 7 p.m. Dec. 2. The concert will be held in the elementary cafeteria. Students will need to be there by 6:40 p.m. for warm-up.

The concert is free and open to the public. The sixth grade band will also be performing a day concert on Dec. 19 in the elementary cafeteria at 9 a.m. The sixth grade chorus will also be performing at the day concert on Dec.19. We hope to see you there.

Reminders: Students eating breakfast should be in the building by 8 a.m. so they will not be late to class. Please begin with the end in mind in getting to school on time.

Breakfast starts serving at 7:30 a.m. and circle drive doors are unlocked at 7:30 a.m.

Sharpen the Saw activities begin at 7:35 a.m. and students need to eat breakfast before going there.

Midterm is Nov. 17.

The elementary will dismiss at 1 p.m. Nov. 26.

There is no school Nov. 27 and 28.

By Marty Duffus

Chief of Police

Chief of Osceola Police Department

The calendar is reminding us that winter will soon be upon us. And living in Iowa, we are certain to receive snow and ice.

At this time of year, I am required by ordinance to publish the city’s snow ordinance as it relates to parking of vehicles, clearing of snow from sidewalks and the depositing of snow on our roads by commercial snow clearing companies, as well as private residents.

The ordinance 69.12, states: “No person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public street, alley or parking areas in the public right-of-way and immediately adjacent to the traveled portion of the street during any snow emergency parking ban unless the snow has been removed or plowed from the street, alley or parking areas in the public right-of-way and immediately adjacent to the traveled portion of a street and the snow has ceased to fall. A snow emergency parking ban shall begin when the National Weather Service predicts that two (2) or more inches of snow or ice will fall in the Osceola area or two (2) or more inches of snow or ice has fallen in the Osceola area, and shall continue through the duration of the snow or ice storm and the 48hour period after cessation of the storm, except as above provided upon streets which have been fully opened.”

“Such a ban shall be of uniform application and the police chief is directed to widely publicize the requirements using all available news media in early November of each year. The emergency shall be extended or shortened when conditions warrant upon proclamation by the street superintendent or police chief.”

Here are the keys points to remember.

The snow ordinance automatically goes into effect when the National Weather Service predicts two inches of snow or ice will fall in the Osceola area or when two or more inches of snow or ice has already fallen.

Once in effect it is illegal to leave, for any reason, any vehicle on any street, in any alley, on the parking or in any city

MARTY DUFFUS

owned parking lot unless the snow has been plowed or completely removed and the snow has stopped. This parking ban remains in effect for 48 hours after the storm and may be extended or shortened by the street superintendent or the police chief.

There are usually four questions I am asked after explaining the ordinance. How many passes does the street department make down our streets?

Where do I park if I rent and I have no off-street parking?

And, how are we as residents notified the snow ordinance is in effect? What are the penalties? Here are the answers.

As residents of Osceola, we are privileged to have a great group of street department workers who go out very early in the morning to remove snow from our streets.

Normally, our plows make two passes down our streets for snow removal. The first pass is to simply open the street and make it drivable. The second pass is to widen out the driving lanes and to push the snow farther back. It is after the second pass that it is legal to return to parking in the street if the ban has not been extended.

If you are a tenant in a rental property, it is up to your landlord or you to find a legal, offstreet parking place and to receive permission to park there if it is a privately owned lot. In any case, it is your responsibility to not park on the street, alley or parking while the snow ordinance is in effect.

In an effort to notify as many people as possible, I use Internet and media outlets.

Technically, you are notified as soon as the weather service makes the two inch prediction or two inches has already fallen.

For the Internet, I use the

following internet sources: The city of Osceola website, www. osceolaia.govoffice2.com, the Osceola Sentinel Tribune’s website, www.osceolaiowa. com, the Osceola Police Department Facebook page and our Nixle alert system.

For media sources, I use radio stations KSIB-AM and FM, Creston, WHO radio and KSOI. For television stations I use KCCI, KDIN, WOI and WHO. These stations generally add our information to their scrolls.

I also use the sign boards at American State Bank on the square and HyVee. Thank you to those merchants.

I mentioned the departments’ Nixle alert system. I strongly encourage you to sign up for this free service. By signing up you will receive alerts from the police department by text message to your cell phone or by email or both. It is a secure system operated by a third party and the department cannot access your number or email address.

You can sign up at Nixle.com, or call or come out to the police department and we will be happy to assist you with signing up.

Finally, the penalties.

Per the city code, violators of this ordinance are subject to a $20 parking ticket and your vehicle is subject to immediate impoundment.

Now for the dumping and sidewalk clearing portion of our ordinance.

Chapter 135.13 of the city code makes it illegal, “for any person to throw, push, or place or cause to be thrown, pushed or placed, any ice or snow from private property, sidewalks, or driveways onto the traveled way of a street or alley.”

City code 136.03 states, “It is the responsibility of the abutting property owners to remove snow, ice and accumulations promptly from sidewalks. If a property owner does not remove snow, ice or accumulations within 48 hours, the city may do so and assess the costs against the property owner for collection in the same manner as a property tax.”

Well, I think I’ve covered it.

If you have any questions or have a topic you’d like to read about please don’t hesitate to contact me at the police department.

IDPH honors radiation protection professionals The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) joins the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc. (CRCPD) in recognition of National Radiation Protection Professionals Week Nov. 2-8.

The week-long event to honor radiation protection professionals is set in November to coincide with the discovery of X-rays

by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Nov. 8, 1895.

“Radiation protection professionals are dedicated individuals working to ensure safe exposure to radiation in medical procedures, industrial uses, product safety, emergency response, and the environment in our homes,” said IDPH Bureau of Radiological Health Chief Angela Leek.

“Iowans are able to benefit from the many uses of radiation

through the protection efforts of these individuals.”

There are thousands of radiation protection professionals in Iowa, including: • Radiologic technologists, nuclear medicine technologists, radiologist assistants and radiation therapists who perform medical imaging and therapy procedures.

• Radiologists and other physicians with expertise in radiation protection who advise patients and healthcare workers regarding radiation procedures.

• Medical physicists providing clinical service and consultation to ensure accurate assessment of doses delivered to patients during medical imaging and therapy procedures.

• Registered equipment service providers who ensure that radiation machines are main-

tained and operating safely, as well as evaluating radiation shielding adequacy.

• Radiation safety officers on specific radioactive materials licenses who are responsible for ensuring safe use of radioactive materials under the license.

• Environmental health and safety personnel who work to ensure radiation safety in research.

• Health physicists in the Bureau of Radiological Health who serve the citizens of Iowa to protect them from unnecessary and inadvertent exposure to radiation, as well as respond to any issues related to radiation in the state.

Radiation protection professionals provide leadership in protecting the public from the hazards of radiation.

SPORTS Cardinals advance to Class 1A quarterfinals THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 6, 2014

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Set to take on top-ranked Iowa City Regina

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

VAN METER — Central Decatur head coach Jon Pedersen said his team wasn’t as clean as it was 11 days ago, but his Cardinals still earned their second win here against Class 1A District 8 champion Van Meter in just 11 days with a 39-7 romp on Monday.

The win improves Central Decatur to 9-2 for the season and advances the Cardinals to the quarterfinal round of the playoffs for the first time since 2004 — Pedersen’s first year as head coach.

Van Meter stole Central Decatur’s early momentum by stopping the Cardinals short on the 3-yard line and then scoring on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Nathan Justman to Anthony Lowman.

“We didn’t feel like we were as clean as we were the other day,” Pedersen said.

“We just didn’t have the juice we usually do. But the kids played hard.

“We felt like we had the momentum at the very beginning,” he continued.

“They stopped us at the 3 and got excited. Then they scored and they got really excited. It was big for our guys to be able to respond to that. We were able to march it down and put it in the end zone.”

In fact, Central Decatur scored 39 unanswered points to close out the game from that point forward.

Van Meter keyed in on Central Decatur star quarterback Trenton Wells,

which opened up other areas for the Cardinal offense.

“They bottled Trenton up more than what teams have done recently,” Pedersen said. “We were able to find other things to take advantage of that. Rayden Boswell ran the ball well. Trenton threw the ball. We took advantage of what they gave us, but they did take away our main option.”

The Central Decatur defense came up big by forcing six turnovers in the game.

Peyton Pedersen picked off a pair of passses, while Peyton Gilbert added another interception. Sophomore Kade Kelso recovered three fumbles for the Cardinals.

“We had three interceptions that were big for us tonight,” coach Pedersen said.

“They were moving the ball a little bit. They were important. It stopped their momentum and gave us the ball back.”

Van Meter’s all-state running back Cody Blackwell, who was limited to just 58 rushing yards on 17 carries in the first meeting between the two teams 11 days ago, was able to find more running space on Monday.

Blackwell finished the game with 169 yards on 22 carries. But, no other Van Meter ballcarrier ran for more than 1 yard.

“He got a few more yards tonight, but we did a good job of keeping him under control,” Pedersen said.

“He’s a very good player.

We executed what we wanted to do. You have to take him down if you’re going to beat them. We did a good

job of containing him between the 20s.”

To get two wins in just 11 days on District 8 champion Van Meter’s home field is a testament to the leadership this year’s Central Decatur senior class has given this football team, Pedersen said.

“We’re led by a bunch of great seniors that have been through a lot in their days playing for us,” he said.

“There’s not a lot that rattles them. We don’t have to worry about whether they’re ready to play anymore.

They’re ready to play every day. It’s a pleasure to coach them.”

The Cardinals now advance to their first quarterfinal playoff game since 2004.

Central Decatur fell to AGWSR 49-14 in that game.

Pedersen said getting back to the quarterfinal round is a big step for his program.

“It’s big for the kids to understand what hard work can do,” he said. “Going, getting yourself through the adversity part of things and understanding things aren’t always going to be easy. We’ve battled for years and felt like we had some opportunities.

This group has really taken advantage of it.”

The Cardinals draw a tough opponent in Friday’s quarterfinal round, traveling to top-ranked Iowa City Regina.

The Regals improved to 10-1 for the season with a 57-13 win over District 8’s 2-seed Panorama on Monday, in which all-state quarterback Drew Cook finished 7-of-10 passing for 212 yards.

“It’s going to be a big challenge,” Pedersen said.

“It’s a challenge for anybody that plays them.

“We could never get the

lead late in the games,” Murray coach Jerry Shields said. “We would get tied, then have a missed serve, dig or block. The second game was one to be forgotten, nothing went right.”

Grand View Christian took a 5-0 lead in the third set before Murray came back to tie it at 15.

“We couldn’t get any

closer,” Shields said.

With the loss to their familiar Bluegrass Conference foe, the Lady Mustangs finished 20-8 and lose three seniors in Hannah Barber, Chellsea Jones and McKenzie Case.

Barber, slowed by an ankle injury, was limited to four kills Friday on 12-of23 hitting. The net leader

Hollywood on the Hardwood on Dec. 5 Clarke head girls basketball coach Eric Zoske announced a basketball clinic on Friday, Dec. 5 that he is calling Hollywood on the Hardwood.

Hollywood on the Hardwood is a free basketball clinic for girls in third through eighth grades. It will run from 6:30 p.m. until 7:15.

Then, from 7:30 p.m. until 9, participants can watch “Despicable Me 2” in the middle school gymnasium.

“That will be free for all girls who attended the basketball clinic,” Zoske said.

“It will be $5 for any girl that doesn’t attend the clinic or any other parent or family member that wants to come.

The movie is a community wide event. But if the girls go to the basketball clinic, they

get in for free.”

Zoske said participants should bring a lawn chair or something to sit on during the movie. Sandwiches, popcorn and drinks will be provided during the movie.

There is no need to pre-register. The basketball clinic will likely use both the middle school and high school gyms.

“The girls just simply need to show up and be there by 6:20, to be ready to go by 6:30,” Zoske said. “We’ll do basketball competitions and things like that for 45 minutes, and then we’ll watch the movie.”

The movie is open for anyone to attend, but will be a $5 cost for anyone not participating in the basketball clinic.

A replica of the Heroes Game Trophy will be on display in 29 different Hy-Vee stores, where customers will have the opportunity to register to win tickets to the game and other prizes. Volunteers with the American Red Cross will assist with transporting the trophy

from one stop to the next along the tour route.

“The Iowa-Nebraska football game is a great sports rivalry, and we wanted to give football fans in both states a chance to be part of the excitement,” said Darin Hirl, director of event marketing for HyVee. “When the trophy stops in their area, custom-

ers can come by to view it, register to win tickets to the game and support the Red Cross, all while supporting their favorite teams.”

Again this year, Hy-Vee and the two universities will use the national stage created by the Heroes Game to salute individuals and organizations for acts

Leftovers …?

By The Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

Amy was amazed. It was her very first time helping prepare and serve food at the downtown “soup kitchen,” but she was discovering that much more than soup was involved.

She had met some good cooks, but these people were simply amazing! They took whatever food was donated and turned it into fabulous (and plentiful) meals.

As she stood in the dining are looking through the large serving window into the kitchen, it looked like a well-orchestrated cooking ballet was in progress.

Amy looked up to see her best friend Stacy smiling at her. “So Amy, what do you think?”

“Wow,” was all Amy could think to say. “Just wow.”

Stacy pointed at the outside doors. “Just wait till all the people come through those doors. We’ll probably feed over 200 people today.”

“Two hundred? Seriously?” Amy pictured what that would look like. “Two hundred people? Those kitchen people aren’t just good. They’re awesome! Two hundred people fed with…leftovers…simply amazing.”

Stacy smiled again. “Oh, and that’s not the end of the story either. After that, we’ll pack up all the leftovers and take them to the homeless camps down by the river. And Tom (he’s the one making the veggies) discovered another group camping in the old warehouse down by the abandoned railroad tracks. Our motto truly is: There are no leftovers. No leftovers with Jesus, so no leftovers with His disciples (that’s us) either. That’s why we call it the ‘No Leftovers Ministry.’”

We are a culture which seems inexorably drawn to fantastic, sensational, over-the-top spectacles.

Whether in the news or on so-called “reality shows,” we are tempted (many times successfully) and drawn to give these events all our attention.

When we read about Jesus miraculously feeding thousands, our attention is drawn the same way: “Jesus said, ‘Make the people sit down.’ Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thouCHURCH, 101 E.

sand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.” (John 6:10) While all our attention is on the “miracle,” Jesus’ attention shifts to great care toward the leftovers.

We tend to overlook the very things Jesus focuses on.

Here’s the “end of the story.”

“After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, ‘Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.’ So they picked up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves.” (John 6:12-13) Twelve tribes of Israel. Twelve disciples. And twelve baskets of “leftovers.”

Twelve. Jesus is teaching us something here. God takes what people consider leftovers, expendable, not worthy of further attention – and builds a nation (12 tribes), a foundation for the spread of the good news (12 disciples), and now — now he connects these 12 baskets of “leftovers” to that tradition in order to make the point that not only is nothing wasted, but God builds his kingdom from that which the world would discard as unworthy and useless.

Like most, your attention is probably drawn to the amazing miracle Jesus performed to feed all those people (5,000 men plus women and children). Only God could accomplish such a thing! But what about the “rest of the story” – the ending? How do you think they are connected?

As you read about Stacy and the “No Leftovers” ministry, what are your thoughts?

What/who do we throw out as “leftover,” which this Scripture teaches as needed (and perhaps even vital) to keep, use, and even build a future on?

In God’s eyes, there are no leftovers. None. God accomplishes truly miraculous things through us when our lives illustrate this eternal truth.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Students learn about soil at field day Dennis Schrodt with Clarke County Conservation/NRCS and Mark Zuco, Southwest Iowa Area soil scientist, with the help of Clarke FFA students Jake Manternach, Carter Wilken, Conner Offield and Keleah Selsor used their rain simulator to demonstrate to third grade students how good, valuable top soil could be lost if conservation practices are not valued and used.

The rain simulator is a self-contained van that has four rain spigots over four samples of soil – tilled soil, cornfield with stalks remaining, grassy area from a fence row (all soil from a few feet of each other) and shingles representing roof run off.

From each area, a viewer can see what the imme-

diate runoff is, what the longer term sub soil loss would be when we get a rain and how much top soil is lost in each case.

The intense tillage sample gets immediate runoff and loss of a lot of top soil with it. The minimum tillage sample with corn stalks left on has much less runoff and less loss of top soil.

The no tillage sample of the grass-land had almost no runoff and little loss of top soil.The roof sample had complete runoff, but no loss of top soil could carry unseen harmful chemicals with the runoff.

The visual lesson told the story.

The FFA students discussed the characteristics of healthy soil and the importance of conservation practices.

Teresa Wahlert, Iowa Workforce Development director, and Bill Trickey, executive director of Clarke County Development Corporation, pose for a photo during a ceremony designating Clarke County as a Skilled Iowa Initiative community Friday, Oct. 31, at Lakeside Hotel and Casino.

Clarke County honored with Skilled Iowa Initiative designation Clarke County was recently honored with the Skilled Iowa Initiative designation.

The ceremony took place at Lakeside Hotel and Casino Friday, Oct. 31. Teresa Wahlert, Iowa Workforce Development director, was in attendance for the honor.

Gov. Terry Branstad launched the Skilled Iowa Initiate in June 2012 as a public/private partnership.

The Skilled Iowa Initiative is working to match up Iowa workers with unfilled positions across the state.

Currently, Iowa’s problem is not necessarily a lack of available jobs, but linking up workers with essential skills to employers with open positions.

Over half of Iowa’s available jobs fall within the middle-skill range, but only onethird of Iowa’s workforce is qualified for these positions.

The Skilled Iowa Initiative’s goal is to lessen this discrepancy and put the right workers in the right jobs.

Iowa has a diverse array of career fields that include the biosciences, manufacturing, financial services, information technology and transportation sectors, plus many more. Though so many career options exist for

109 tillable acres, recently pattern tiled.

Iowans, the a continued disconnect exists within the skill sets of the workforce and the emerging careers in Iowa.

Skilled Iowa encourages workers to earn the National Career Readiness Certificate, a certificate that demonstrates a worker’s knowledge and skills in several workplace areas. Workers’ scores are then classified into four different score ratings -- platinum, gold, silver and bronze -- which can be used by hiring employers to gauge a job seeker’s capabilities.

Businesses across the state are taking advantage of the NCRC when hiring employees, with more than 11,500 companies across Iowa recommending the certificate to job seekers. These businesses can then use the score ratings to see if the job seeker is a qualified candidate for their open positions. Businesses benefit from this certification in multiple ways, such as a shortened hiring process and reduced turnover rates.

Workers benefit from earning the NCRC because they can showcase their unique skills and capabilities and stand out from other workers. To date, over

51,000 Iowans have achieved an NCRC Certificate.

Because of the many benefits it offers to businesses and workers alike, the Skilled Iowa Initiative aims to have a much greater share of the Iowa workforce listing the National Career Readiness Certificate on their resumes.

It is commonly thought the Skilled Iowa Initiative will help Iowa in a number of ways.

The program encourages workers to assess their skills,

helps employers find qualified workers, and helps the economy grow with a more capable workforce.

With a more skilled workforce, Iowa will become an increasingly attractive place to do business. Iowa Workforce Development is urging community and business leaders, educators, workers and employers to be a part of the Skilled Iowa Initiative’s effort to grow Iowa’s economy.
