Discounts, donations and what’s in demand

By HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

With the help of local donors and special shipping rates for Army Post Office/ Fleet Post Office addresses, 24 Marines will receive an unexpected taste of home during the holidays.

It started when the family of local son, Cpl. Mike Gibbs, started putting together a care package and realized how many benefits were available through the U.S. Postal Service.

“I thought it was great they give a discount for the military,” said Gibbs’ mother, Angel Earls-Lewis.

For shipments to a military address, depicted by a zip code that begins with “9,” a large, flat-rate Priority Mail shipping box is just

$16.75. The boxes measure 12 inches by 12 inches by 5 1/2 inches and hold up to 70 pounds.

“You can get creative and get all your stuff in there,” said USPS Customer Service Supervisor George Thompson. “There are a lot of tips military people can share.”

Families post online trade-packing secrets for getting the most out of the free Priority Mail boxes, from using bags of trail mix as packing material to shortening the baking time on cookies headed to the desert locations.

“I’m still packing – snacks he liked at home, non-perishables, hygiene products,” Earl-Lewis said.

A family member who had served in the military helped Earls-Lewis come up with a supply list, but it’s also important to be mindful of restrictions. Send the wrong thing, and a care MAIL | 4

Scott Kent, director of the Clarke County Conservation Board, hosted a beekeeping presentation 7 p.m.

Thursday at East Lake Park Office. Thirty-four people attended to learn more about honey bees and why raising them is important.

Kent hopes to host monthly beekeeping classes.

“Even if you never intend to keep bees yourself, you can find out what to do to help,” he said.

The presentation drove home the point that the food supply depends on bees for pollination. They’re directly responsible for 30 percent of growth for the food people eat, but they’re also responsible for pollinating the majority of the food products eaten by animals raised

While mental health may be every bit as important as physical health, mental-health treatment often carries with it an element of embarrassment or shame.

Sometimes, this contributes to a lack of available services – a serious problem in rural Iowa.

Osceola natives Donnie and Lori (Kindred) White will share their journey with mental illness as documented in the book “Growing Season” 7 p.m. Saturday at LifePoint Church, 801 N. Fillmore St. Afterward, Mary DeLong, mental health and disabilities coordinator for Clarke County, and Rep. Joel Fry will discuss mental health care available in the area.

“We are working to begin an assertive community treatment program in January,” DeLong said.

Clarke County also has a mental health crisis hotline available at 1-844-430-8520, but DeLong is afraid current

efforts aren’t enough.

“We need more psychiatrist services, more psychiatrists and hospital beds for the most challenging behaviors,” DeLong said. “When someone requires acute care, there aren’t places for them to go.”

According to a report released by the National Alliance on Mental Health in June, Iowa ranks second to last in mental health care, so even those brave enough to seek treatment often have trouble accessing help they need. Unfortunately, the largest challenge is convincing a patient to get medical attention in the first place.

“It’s just a different part of the body that needs help,” said Chuck DeVos, LifePoint Church lead pastor. “It’s our brain, so why is there this stigma?”

Those leading the presentation hope it encourages people with mental illness to seek help and motivate everyone to write their lawmakers and demand an increase in mental health services.

“Bees are critical to agriculture,” said Samantha Edgerton, who attended with her husband Roland

and their two sons, Riley, 9, and Dean, 5. “We wanted the boys to understand that without the bees, there is no food.”

Iowa Treasurers and GovTech Services announce application upgrade The Iowa County Treasurer’s E-Government Alliance (ICTEA) and GovTech Services today jointly announced upgrades for the ICTEA web application, IowaTreasurers. org, making the site even more customer friendly.

Property tax payers already have the most advanced mobile online tax payment system available with the Iowatreasurers.org site, and now a couple of key interactive upgrades are being added. With the upgrade, customers will now be able to sign up for email notifications on the Iowatreasurers. org website. This enhancement will allow users to more easily sign up for email alerts reminding them of upcoming due dates for property taxes in

September and March.

Previously users could only sign up to receive notifications after making a payment. With the new enhancement, no payment is required to receive email notifications. The information will not be shared with any other source and users will only receive email reminders regarding upcoming property tax due dates.

The other major enhancement allows users to store an account. With this change, users will enter a receipt number during the initial set-up, but will no longer need to enter a receipt number for further payments via e-check. This will also eliminate the need for users to search for their tax state-

ments when making e-check payments.

“These amazing new updates will not only simplify the process of paying taxes online, but will give users an additional reminder when tax due dates are approaching,” said Peggy VandenBerg, ICTEA Board Chairperson. “These types of enhancements show the continued commitment ICTEA has to our consumers and our taxpayers.”

The Iowatreasurers.org web-site is a multi-functional, state-of-the-art web application that uses the most advanced technology to allow users to research, view and pay property taxes, and vehicle registrations online. The site was developed and designed in a cooperative

effort between ICTEA and GovTech Services. GovTech Services is a privately held Clive-based software company specializing in payment processing, escrow processing, platform development for government and educational entities.

November Shining Star Award Winner Amber Barton & Brenda Hernandez The November Shing Star award was presented by Osceola Chamber Main Street and Warrior Osceola to Amber Barton & Brenda Hernandez of Casey’s on North Main.

Amber and Brenda were nominated by Diane Ogbourne. “I would like to thank Amber and Brenda at Casey’s on North Main for their wonderful customer service. I had ordered several dozen donuts and stopped to pick them up Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. I informed the cashier I was there to pick my order up and before I knew it, Amber was there holding my order, offering to carry them out for me and Brenda was asking where I wanted them in my car–front or back? They took the initiative to make sure that my order was placed carefully in the car, where they wouldn’t slide or spill! I truly appreciated their assistance–they went above and beyond to take care of a customer! It is my favorite Casey’s Store!�

Mountain Man’s Special Turkey Ingredients • 1 cup of apple juice • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce • 1-Whole Turkey

• 5-Gallon Pale for Brining • Aluminum Foil • Brown Sugar

• Fresh Garlic • GMG Poultry Rub • Kosher Salt

Pellets - Texas | Fruitwood | Gold Blend

Let’s Get Started: 1) Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator. 2-5 days depending on the size of the bird. You can also thaw it in cold water in 8-12 hours. Remove the neck and the giblets from the bird’s cavities.

2) Put the turkey in the pan or pail and then add enough water to completely cover it.

3) Remove the turkey.

4) Add enough kosher salt to the water until a raw egg just seems buoyant. Stir. Add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar or molasses and 5 tablespoons of GMG Poultry Rub. 5) Use a garlic press or mash several cloves of garlic with the side of a butcher’s knife and add to the brine. Stir thoroughly.

6) Brine the turkey overnight. Make sure no part of the turkey is out of the water.

7) Remove the turkey and pat dry with paper towels.

8) Push a wooden spoon underneath the skin all the way around the bird, top and bottom, to break the skin away from the esh.

9) Rub reasonable amounts of Green Mountain Poultry Rub on the esh with your hands between the skin and the meat. Do this top and bottom – wherever you can reach.

10) Place the turkey, breast side down, in a disposable aluminum pan.

11) Turn the grill on and set it to 185°. When that temperature stabilizes, put the turkey in the grill.

12) Make a mixture of 1 cup of apple juice and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Put this in a small spray bottle.

13) Spritz (spray) the turkey about once per hour. Make sure that you spritz thoroughly, especially inside the bird’s cavities.

14) Cook the turkey for about 8 hours, regardless of the size of the bird.

15) After 8 hours, turn the bird over. Turn the grill up to 275°.

16) Push a metal meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast, about 3/4� away from the bone. Leave the thermometer in.

17) Continue to cook for about 10-12 minutes per pound until the temperature on the meat thermometer reaches 160°. If the skin becomes browner than you like during this period, you can cover the breast with aluminum foil. Remove the turkey from the grill, cover it completely with foil, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes, during which time the temperature will continue to rise to 165°.

18) Carve your turkey. Overeat. Watch football. Repeat

“Common restrictions are things like aerosols, money and precious metals,” said Thompson said. “It depends on the country, too. Some things are prohibited. It’s best to check with your service people.”

for their development. Tens of thousands of honey bees are moved to California each year for the growing season, but these types of practices are contributing to big problems. Malnutrition, the spread of bacteria and viruses among non-native hives, and the use of a popular pesticide is causing honey bee numbers to drop drastically.

According to a report published by the Environmental Protection Agency in January 2016, neonicotinoids, or neonic pesticides, are responsible for honey bee death, as well as lower production rates for honey.

These problems have a sig-

been possible without the help of volunteers Kim Schade and Sue Jones, she said.

“The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever” has 29 cast members, all who need help getting into costume, learning their lines and staying focused during practice, even when they’re not onstage.

“It is a lot of work and it takes a lot of family backing for these little actors,” Kooiker said.

What’s her secret to keeping order?

“The kids have rules, and they know what they are.

We’ve never had any problems,” Kooiker said. “My first rule is ‘If it’s not yours, don’t touch it.’ If someone

have any worries, thanks to his friends and family here in Osceola. Late Thursday, Bobby Lewis posted a request online to fill 23 care packages for the Marines serving alongside Gibbs.

People offered to donate and pack boxes. Businesses chipped in as well. West Side Tavern, Timber Ridge Country Market, Wal-Mart and others have offered to store or provide items for care packages, and Chuck and Karla Ciecalone of The Broken Spoke covered shipping costs for all 24 boxes.

Then, of course, there is the military, which manages to get mail to service members while ensuring their safety by using blind addresses known only to the armed forces.

“We deliver the packages to the Air Force, and then they airlift them by cargo mail,” Thompson said.

“Thank goodness for the Air Force that they help us deliver the packages.”

nificant impact on honey bee populations, as lower honey production causes queens to lay fewer eggs and fewer hives will make enough honey to feed themselves through winter.

Kent said beekeepers can help protect their hives by registering them with the Iowa Department of Agriculture’s Apiary Registry.

Pesticide applicators spray later in the day in protected areas to avoid direct contact with honey bee populations.

Presentation attendees ranged from home-schoolers learning more about bees to beekeepers interested in pooling resources and landowners growing CP-42 as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Pollinator Habitat Initiative. The pro-

gram offers incentives for the growth of nutrient-dense native wildflowers, including sign-on bonuses, annual rental payments and costshare programs.

Kent provided the group with information on local beekeeping laws, as well as tips he’s picked up over the last five years of keeping his own hives. He also hopes to bring in expert beekeepers from other areas of the state and to host hands-on demonstrations to help others around Osceola get involved in beekeeping and in supporting honey bee populations and other pollinators.

They’re really good.”

Live theatre for children hadn’t been in Osceola before Kooiker started the group. After several years of traveling back and forth to Des Moines so their daughter could take part in performances, her husband recommended starting a local group.

“There were only nine children in the first show,” she said. “Parents and friends came to see it. It was a small audience, maybe 50 people. Then, it got bigger and bigger.”

Today, there’s a waiting list to take part in the group’s fall and spring productions.

Kooiker is directing children now whose parents took part when they were little.

“I thought when my kids were done, I’d be done,” she said. “So many children were involved besides my own that I kept going.”

In May, Alicia and Todd Kale took over the responsibilities for the spring performance, as it was their son’s last year in the program.

“Huck Finn” was a celebrated success, but Kookier is happy to be back at the helm.

“Live theatre is a really cool thing to see. There’s so much the kids learn,” she said. “I am very excited about putting on this play and celebrating how far I have already come and giving back to so many people who have prayed for and supported me thus far.”

Tickets for “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” are available at the door and cost $5 for adults and $4 for children ages 12 and under.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

BACK IN TIME ON THE SQUARE U.S. Bond, along with D.R. (Doc) Robinson built the three front business buildings on the north side of the square.

Completion was in July 1902. The Bond building measured 18.5 feet by 40 feet. The first floor was occupied by Mr. Bond’s jewelry store, with offices on the second floor. The building was later remodeled and redecorated with a marble front, tile flooring and new display cases.

D.R. Robinson’s building came next. It was a brick two-story building measuring 30 feet by 100 feet. Today, it houses Clark’s Furniture. The first floor had two rooms, one which contained his photograph gallery. His business included the latest styles of pianos,

organs, musical instruments, talking machines and record and sewing machines. His living quarters were above the stove.

The other room was occupied by W.A. Robinson, machinist. He repaired bicycles, automobiles, gasoline engines, steam engines, telephones and gramophones.

Office rooms were on the second floor.

Osceola’s growth was slow but sure, and the improvements made from time to time by its enterprising citizens were of the substantial kind. An unusual amount of building was going on and general improvements were made in spite of the unfavorable season.

The city council met in a special session in June

1902 for the purpose of canvassing bids for the construction of a sewer from Washington Street to Jefferson Street on Main Street, connecting with all other sewer lines.

Bids were filed with the city clerk and opened and read by the mayor. Each bid was accompanied by a $200 certified check for the faithful performance of the respective bid. The bid of George M. King of Des Moines was accepted, the big being $1.70 per lineal foot, furnishing all material and completing the sewer. The bond was fixed at $1,200. Work on the sewer was to begin when the material arrived. There were two other bids, one from Osceola and one from Des Moines.

Northey comments on Iowa crops DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Ideal weather was seen across much of the state last week and as a result good progress was made and harvest is now nearing completion. Southwest and south central Iowa is the exception where more than 10 percent of corn and beans remain in the field. Fortunately, weather for the week ahead looks good as well, so hopefully farmers will continue to make progress and finish before winter sets in across the state,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website a twww.IowaAgriculture.gov or on

USDA’s site atwww.nass. usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here: Crop report Minimal precipitation and warm temperatures allowed farmers to make progress towards harvest completion during the week ending November 13, 2016, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were 6.7 days suitable for fieldwork. Activities for the week included harvesting, baling corn stalks, tiling, terracing, hauling and spreading manure, and anhydrous application.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 10 percent short, 83 percent adequate, and 5 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 6 percent short, 82 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus.

Ninety-four percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, equal to the 5-year average. This

was the first time during the 2016 corn for grain harvest that progress was not behind average. Moisture content of all corn for grain being harvested in Iowa was unchanged from last week at 16 percent. While harvest is winding down in much of the State, southwest and south central Iowa still have over 10 percent of the corn crop and almost 10 percent of the soybean crop remaining to be harvested.

Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 55 percent moderate to heavy, down 7 percentage points from the previous week. Off-farm grain storage availability was rated 65 percent adequate to surplus. On-farm grain storage availability was rated 59 percent adequate to surplus.

Livestock conditions were described as ideal with the week’s above normal temperatures and drier conditions.

Iowa preliminary weather summary

Rose.

Goldsmith was ordered to serve three years of supervised released after his prison term, pay $300 to the Crime Victims’ Fund and pay $1,998 in restitution to the state of Iowa.

Goldsmith pleaded guilty to the three counts June 29. According to the plea agreement, on Feb. 21,

On May 2, 2015, Goldsmith bought a Hi-Point 9-mm pistol. On June 19, 2015, Goldsmith bought a HiPoint .45-caliber pistol. At each purchase, Goldsmith listed a false address on the 4473 form, which is a document required by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to be filled out at the time of purchase.

During the investigation, a fraudulent Social Security document was found at Goldsmith’s residence.

Griglione signs letter of intent with Creighton for basketball A bright day in the midst of a trying year for I-35 senior, family n

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

TRURO — Interstate 35 senior Gracey Griglione had waited a considerable amount of time for Wednesday, Nov. 9, to come around.

The verbal commitment she made to Creighton University on June 8, 2015 became a signed and sealed reality for the Roadrunner basketball standout.

Griglione officially inked her commitment to the Omaha, Nebraska, school on Nov. 9 during a signing ceremony in the gym with family, teammates and Interstate 35 coach Jamie Smith among those looking on.

“It’s been a really long time,” said the 6-foot-1 inch post. “I’ve been waiting for this day to come.”

Griglione fulfilled a dream of playing basketball at the Division I level.

“I’ve wanted to play at the Division I level since about seventh grade,” she said.

It meant much time and sacrifice.

“I started playing tournament basketball in the summers. I had to stop playing softball,” she said.

Interstate 35 coach Jamie Smith has seen the hard work Griglione has put in out of season to better herself.

“We’ve spent a lot of mornings in this gym, 5:30 in the morning every day in the summer,” Smith said.

He’s watched his protege develop into a college prospect.

“Since fifth grade, she wanted to play college basketball,” Smith said. “Each year it got more real.”

All-state honors Griglione is a three-time all-stater by the Iowa Newspaper Association, earning first-team honors as a junior

and sophomore. She was a first-team all-state pick by the Iowa Girls Coaches Association as a junior. She’s a two-time all-Iowa Basketball Coaches Association all-region honoree.

As a junior, Griglione averaged a team-high 19.7 points per game on 53.5 percent shooting (178-of-333).

She grabbed 9.2 rebounds per game -–77 offensive and 134 defensive. Griglione also blocked 64 shots, dished out 56 assists and grabbed 32 steals.

As a sophomore she averaged 19.3 points per game on 55.3 percent shooting – 172-of-311. She grabbed 10.9 rebounds per game, 93 offensive and 169 defensive.

As a freshman, she averaged 13.7 points per game and grabbed 8.7 rebounds a

Griglione has set the Interstate 35 records for blocks in a game (11), rebounds in a game (18), points in a game (40), points in a season (464) and rebounds in a season (262) Griglione picked Creighton over South Dakota State, Northern Iowa and Nebraska-Omaha.

GRACEY: CONT. FROM | 1B

Family atmosphere The atmosphere around the Creighton program drew Griglione’s attention.

“It’s more of a smaller campus and I felt more at home,” Griglione said. “The girls are very nice. They’re much like my teammates here. I felt a sense of family there.”

Griglione was one of three prospects Creighton signed. The Bluejays’ other signees are Temi Carda, from Lakeville, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, and Tatum Rembao, from Loveland, Colorado.

Griglione will face some tests when arriving at Creighton and playing in the Big East Conference.

“The girls are a lot bigger, a lot stronger, a lot quicker,” Griglione said.

“Here, I’m mostly taller than everyone, but there I’ll definitely be smaller and scrawnier.”

Offensive game Griglione’s skill set at 6-1 will make her an asset in Omaha.

“Gracey is a skilled big that doesn’t mind getting physical,” said Creighton coach Jim Flanery. “The ability to go down low is becoming rare. She can also play away from the basket. She has played for a talented club program and understands how to work hard to improve.”

Griglione provides a diversified offensive attack that will allow her to be an asset for the Bluejays.

“Gracey’s versatility on the offensive end is probably what stood out initially in evaluating her,” Flanery said. “We like that she

Interstate 35 senior Gracey Griglione shares a hug with her mother Joni after Gracey signed her letter of intent to play basketball at Creighton University in Omaha. The day was one the Roadrunner senior had long waited for. However, it was also bittersweet in light of the death of her father, and Joni’s husband, Rich in late April.

doesn’t mind being physical and that she seems to like playing on the block.

She also plays away from the basket enough to have made her a good passer and a capable 3-point shooter.”

Flanery expects Griglione to make an impact offensively right away.

“Offensively, she is going to be pretty ready from a skill standpoint,” Flanery said.

Griglione’s teammates at Interstate 35 have been a big part of her success.

“She’s not going to be here without her teammates,” Smith said.

“They’ve put in the time.”

Senior season Before she heads to Nebraska, Griglione has one more season for the Roadrunners.

“We’ve been working re-

ally hard,” Griglione said.

“The girls on the team are really excited. We have high goals for this year.”

Emotional moment Signing with Creighton was a bittersweet moment for Gracey. Her father Rich died on April 28.

Even though Rich couldn’t be there, his legacy lives on through Gracey.

Signing with Creighton was a moment Rich would be proud of for his oldest child.

“It’s comforting to know that my dad always told me how proud of me that he was and he loved Creighton just as much as I do,” Gracey said.

Her father’s influence is all over Gracey’s basketball career.

“My dad first showed me the love of the game of bas-

ketball when I was 3 years old and he was my first basketball coach,” Gracey said. “We bonded so much through the game and my brother, Richie, my dad and I would all go to the high school boys open gym on Sundays and scrimmage together.”

Her father was always there to encourage her.

“He always told me to give it my hardest and you only get out what you put in,” Gracey said. “That has really stuck with me and motivated me to work hard day in and day out to reach my goals and will continue to stick with me throughout my senior season and college career.”

Having her mother Joni, brother Richie and sister Rosabella, grandparents and teammates there

Smith took a few moments to compose himself when talking about the influence Rich had on Gracey.

“She has a lot of love, a lot of support, a lot of people who’ve helped her get where she’s at,” Smith said.

“Her father was one of her biggest fans. He’s looking down smiling today.”

Gracey thanked her mom for her help dealing with the loss of her dad, along with a physical ailment in June, as well as on the court.

“My mom has helped me tremendously in the past year, coming off of my dad’s passing in April along with stomach surgery in June,” Gracey said.

“She rebounds for me on the weekends and has always made sure to get to my practices/games on time before I could drive. My mom is the best rebounder there is.”

The emotional support Joni’s provided her daughter has helped Gracey through the tough times.

“She has helped me realize that regardless of the hurt and pain that we have

been through, we continue to do our ‘jobs’ each day and live for my dad,” Gracey said. “He wouldn’t want us to be sad about him being gone, he would want us work hard, be happy and enjoy family.”

Gracey’s life experiences will allow her to be an asset to the Creighton roster.

“Athletics cultivates resiliency, but the grief she’s going through losing her father is significantly greater than anything we experience in sport,” Flanery said.

“It will certainly prepare her for the disappointments and bumps that are part of our world of college athletics. She is a strong young person who can positively affect our team in difficult times because her definition of a ‘difficult time’ will be markedly different than that of her peers.”

Gracey officially signing with Creighton brightened the day for the Griglione family after a tough year emotionally.

“This means a lot to my family and I because it’s definitely something positive to look forward to in a time of overbearing grief,” Gracey said.

Two friends were talking in a local coffee shop one morning.

“I don’t know how you do it, Mike. Wow. I keep hearing you say ‘one day at a time’, but really…it’s got to be more like one hour at a time, or maybe even one minute at a time for you these days.”

“Well, Chad, that’s just how it is right now. I guess it’s more about how you live those days, hours, minutes. I used to hear my dad say, ‘big man up’ to himself a lot when he was going through tough times like this.”

“I’ve heard ‘man up’ a lot, but what’s ‘big man up’ all about?”

“Chad, when I’m down, I remember Jesus (a.k.a. ‘the Man’) and all He went through, all He gives us.

He’s always ‘up’, so I think that’s what my dad meant when he said ‘big Man up’.

It’s an attitude and perspective adjustment. So when guys say ‘man up’, what they usually mean is that a real man can do it all by himself. What my dad meant was that only Jesus can do it by Himself – and

“Hey Mike, good luck with the job hunt – it’s got to be getting tough to make it…let me know if you need help, OK?” “Thanks, Chad. Big Man up, right?”

“You got that right.” “…the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you. Peace. I don’t leave you the way you’re used to being left – feeling abandoned, bereft.

So don’t be upset. Don’t be distraught.” (John 14:2627) Abandoned. Bereft. Upset. Distraught. The events and situations of everyday life can easily push us in these directions. But if God really has moved “into the neighborhood” in Christ with us, no matter what happens in our lives, we are never abandoned. Bereft should not be our state of mind. We need not even be too upset, let alone dis-

Sandy Mason: Why I am a hospice nurse Osceola resident Sandy Mason, RN, CHPN, is a familiar face in the Osceola area. She has worked as a hospice nurse with HCI Hospice Care Services in Osceola since 2007. In her role, she provides education and support to patients facing life-limiting illness, as well as their family members. She visits patients in their homes – wherever they call home – throughout the five-county area the organization’s Osceola hospice team serves.

What inspired you to work in hospice care?

How many years you have you worked in health care?

I have worked as a registered nurse for the past 16 years. I started my nursing career in Fort Worth, Texas, then worked in the emergency room and acute care floor at Clarke County Hospital prior to joining HCI Hospice Care Services.

“CHPN.” Hospice and palliative nursing is a very specialized field, and CHPN certification can only be earned if a nurse has 500 hours of hospice and palliative nursing practice and can prove her or his expertise by completing a very challenging exam.

What do you find most rewarding about your job?

What I find most rewarding about my job is helping provide quality of care to our patients. People often say to me they don’t know how I do what I do. It’s a deep feeling I have inside my heart that gives me the strength to help hospice patients to the last moment of their lives.

We are on call 24 hours a day.

Pictured are members of the Osceola Big Chief FFA who attended the FFA National Convention Oct. 18 in Indianapolis. Show, from left, are Hannah Pollard, Nathan Manternach, Devin DeVore, Colby Wilken, Carter Wilken, Anna Sereg, Alyssa Jackson, Trinity Miler, Carter Smith, Andrew Barnard and Sydney Garrett.

On Tuesday, Oct. 18 the Osceola Big Chief FFA headed to Indianapolis, Indiana for the FFA National Convention. The members boarded a charter bus with four other chapters and headed east to begin their journey. As part of the National Convention trip, business tours were planned to showcase agricultural career opportunities.

The first stop was at the farm equipment manufacturing company, Kinze. Participants toured the museum and learned of the company’s humble beginning and progressive initiatives to stay competitive. Students were able to witness employees fabricating metal pieces, welding components into place and linking GPS technology to the planters.

The second tour of the trip was at The Food Hub in Davenport. Students learned about initiatives to provide fresh produce to residents of large cities that are experiencing “food deserts.” Through grants, The Food Hub has

also started an initiative that collects fresh produce from farmers, packages it into a meal box that includes recipes on how to use the produce and then delivers these boxes to clients.

The final tour destination was Fairy Oaks Dairy and Swine Farm. Fair Oaks is committed to educating the public about modern farming efforts, protecting the environment, caring for their animals and promoting the highest quality products to customers.

While visiting the dairy farm, students were able to sit in a 100-person air conditioned auditorium and educate themselves on food safety, tour one barn of a 32,000-head dairy farm and watch as dairy cows labored to deliver calves.

To ensure biosecurity, students were kept on the Fair Oaks charter bus as we toured the dairy, including a 72-cow milking carousel operated to ensure each cow is milked three times daily and how anaerobic digesters turn manure into energy for the facility and

numerous homes around the area.

The group was then shuttled to the swine facility.

Fair Oaks Swine Adventure is a breed-to-weaning farm that has 2,800 head of sows and weans approximately 80,000 piglets each year. The building utilizes a negative pressure system to uphold biosecurity and the safety of their animals. The facility showcased a free stall set-up and state-of-the-art electronic feeders.

Tour participants met with the CEO and were able to ask questions about the facility and its management. As the students explored the education center they engaged with the interactive ultrasound exhibit and also learned more about heat detection in breeding facilities.

As the day came to a close students felt excited about National Convention but also were very grateful that they had the opportunity to experience such amazing agricultural businesses.
