GET CONNECTED Lt. Gov. Reynolds designates Clarke County as Connect Iowa community

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

It’s like Clarke County is going for the triple crown — in economic development.

Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, whose hometown is Osceola, designated Clarke County as a Connect Iowa community during Clarke County Development Corporation’s (CCDC) fall community development forum at the Lyric Theater Monday, Nov. 10.

“You are part of an important movement in Iowa to really connect broadband to everyone,” Reynolds said.

Connect Iowa, in partnership with the Iowa Economic Development Authority, is working to ensure that all Iowans can experience the benefits of broadband.

The goal is to have technology, especially widespread access, use and adoption of broadband, improve all areas of life.

Two recent honors Recently, Clarke County was designated with two other economic development honors — Home Base Iowa and Skilled Iowa Initiative.

Home Base Iowa designated communities serve as centers of opportunity for military veterans. Home Base Iowa is a non-profit, private-public partnership that focuses on recruiting veterans and active duty service members for quality, well-paying private-sector jobs in Iowa.

More on Connect Iowa Connect Iowa, in conjunction with the Iowa Economic Development Authority, was commissioned to work with all broadband providers in the state of Iowa to create detailed maps of broadband coverage in order to accurately pinpoint remaining gaps in broadband availability in Iowa.

Connect Iowa’s mission is to change lives through technology. It is leading the effort to increase high-speed Internet access, adoption and use across the state. Connect Iowa is a public-private partnership between the Iowa Economic Development Authority and Connected Nation to unite local governments, businesses and citizens in the goal of increasing broadband service in the state’s under served areas.

“Again, you’re one of a very few, so you can be really proud of it,” Reynolds said.

The lieutenant governor was also present during Clarke County’s designation of Home Base Iowa in late August.

Seventh community Osceola (Clarke County) becomes Iowa’s seventh certified Connect Iowa community.

“Osceola should be very proud,” Reynolds said.

“They scored 112 out of 120 points, is what I’m being told, in the areas of broadband availability, as well as adoption and use.”

Clarke County joins Webster City, Indianola, West Des Moines, Black Hawk County, Creston and Fairfield in the Connect Iowa communities.

“It’s clear that the market place is changing, and to remain competitive, we must remain connected,” Reynolds said, “and we know that communities that will thrive in the new economy are those that take every opportunity to organize, plan, OST photo by AMY HANSEN Lt.

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa Injured Workers By . . .

November Shining Star Award Winner

Taylor Seawel

The November Shining Star award was presented by Warrior Osceola and Osceola Chamber Main Street to Taylor Seawel, Assistant Meat Department manager at Fareway in downtown Osceola.

Taylor was nominated by Dave Selene, “Taylor was recently assigned to the Osceola store as Assistant Department Manager. The first time Taylor took my meat order his attitude was upbeat and refreshing. He selected the meat that I asked for as though he was getting it for himself. As I have returned to the Fareway meat department several times since my first encounter with Taylor, he has always had that smile on that says “Hey, tell me what you want and I will do my best to get it for you”. He works very hard to exceed his customers expectations.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Osceola Hiz Kidz blessings

By Becky Houghtaling Truro

Hiz Kidz is off to a great start. We began with a handful of kids five years ago. Last year, we started with 40 kids and were up to 100 plus in a couple of months.

This year, we are serving 50-60 kids and expect our numbers to grow again. A total of 1,509 dinners and the same number of snacks were served last year.

Our true blessing is you, the caring individuals and organizations in and surrounding this community. Without your donations of time, meals and money, we would not be able to provide healthy snacks and dinners to the youths in this community.

As well as the Hiz Kidz group, we are sharing our meals with Under Construction — our junior high/high

school group. They meet on Mondays after school in the elementary library.

We would like to thank the following businesses for their donations of money and/or meals and snacks to our program in October: Hy-Vee, Osceola Foods, Pizza Hut and Walmart.

Please support these organizations and thank them for their generosity.

We have 29 trained volunteers participating weekly in the program.

They help the kids with their homework, relationship with God through song and dance, memory verses and prayer.

Our mentors guide them through the issues that affect their young lives, such as honesty, respect and compassion for others.

If you would like to help Hiz Kidz, please contact Becky at 515-215-0161.

We would love to talk to you about the program.

technological capabilities, and you’ve certainly proven that is precisely what Osceola is doing.”

Group effort Reynolds said it’s apparent that no individual or single organization can

spearhead the cause of economic expansion in south central Iowa alone, it’s a group effort.

“We know that that’s the only way that we can get something done in rural Iowa, it’s when we’re all in the sandbox making it happen,” she said.

Review of Iowa’s education standards begins with science standards

By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us

The Department of Education last week began a series of meetings designed to review Iowa’s education standards and seek public and professional input on those standards.

The first phase in the series of meetings, which started Nov. 4, is around Iowa’s science standards for K-12 students.

The move comes in response to Gov. Branstad’s Executive Order 83, signed in October 2013, related to local control of education standards and assessments. The Executive Order states: “… the adoption of state standards should be done in an open, transparent way that includes opportunities for Iowans to review and offer input.”

This is the first phase of the project to review all education standards. Under this first phase, 19 Iowans will serve on a state team to review the science standards, as well as rigorous science standards from other states, and make a preliminary recommendation for improvement early next year.

The preliminary recommendation will be taken to the public for feedback. The team will then consider the public feedback before sending a final recommendation to the education department and to the

JOEL FRY

State Board of Education next spring.

The review of science standards will be followed by reviews of the other parts of Iowa’s statewide standards, which cover social studies, mathematics, English language arts and 21st century skills. Each review will follow a similar format.

Review teams will be made up of Iowans with expertise in each subject area. For example, the science standards review team will include education and business leaders with expertise in physical science, life science, earth and space science, and engineering, technology and application.

Iowa lawmakers adopted statewide academic standards in 2008. The standards set consistent expectations for learning in schools across the state. The

standards are a set of goals, not a curriculum, so decisions about how to help students reach the standards remain in the hands of local school administrators and teachers.

Earlier this year the House unanimously passed a bill designed to create a similar process. House File 2439 would have provided greater transparency and opportunities for public input on the state’s education standards, among other things.

It required the department of education and the State Board of Education solicit public input and suggestions to revise or amend any standards.

It also required at least three public meetings across the state with public input being collected through the department’s website with the goal to identify any opportunities to strengthen the standards with input from Iowans. The bill received no consideration in the Senate.

Further meetings in the department’s series are open to the public. Meeting dates, agendas and minutes will be posted to the Iowa Department of Education’s website. https://www. educateiowa.gov/resources/ boards-commissions-committees-councils-and-task-forces/iowa-core-science-standards-review-team#Meeting_ Dates_Agendas_and_Notes

BACK IN TIME More Village Improvement Society Ladies

CHILDREN’S THEATRE: Continued from Page 1

“If you have never been to a play before, or were afraid to bring your young children because you were not sure they would pay attention, this is a perfect chance to do so,” she said.

“Children are intrigued with the other children on stage, and will be captured by the music, costumes, plot, action and humor of the story.”

The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.

In 1901, women had the right to cast ballots in municipal and school elections. They took advantage of this right to vote upon the issuance to bonds for public improvements and took part in the city campaign giving Osceola a water system.

The men were ever conservative, but the ladies desired municipal improvements and went to work like old campaigners and put the proposition through. Dividing the city into districts with precinct leaders with carriages taking voters to the polls, poll books to check up their work as it progressed, they succeeded in putting the water proposition through.

In March 1904, a lively discussion was on tap at a city council meeting concerning the location of the water tower. Part of the council and businessmen favored putting it in the park, chiefly because it was cheap.

The city wouldn’t have to buy a lot and they said the water tow-

er would be a thing of beauty.

Most of the businessmen wanted the park only for a park and towers were located off main streets. Age would give water towers a rusty appearance, and the water drip would make a muss accruing around a tower.

No agreement was reached and any action was postponed.

When the ladies heard there was talk of erecting the water tower in the park, they straightaway held a meeting, resolved against it and appointed a committee to see the councilmen who favored the proposition.

The ladies argued the park was a thing of beauty, chiefly through their efforts and it would be a blemish and blot upon the city to put the tower in the park. At the next council meeting, the ladies’ objections with that of other citizens prevailed. The city then bought a 30-foot front lot and put the water tower on the high ground behind it. By June, the tower officials were busy putting the high iron plates together for the tower, 80-feet in the air, and taking four weeks to finish.

The ladies inaugurated Cleaning Up Day every May 1 — cleaning lawns and alleys.

One way was to burn or cart off trash and dig holes in low places that needed filling. They buried cans, glass, bones and other debris and covered it with good soil. Maybe that is why we find pieces of glass and cans when digging in our yards and gardens. We are finding trash buried on Cleaning Up Day. Teams with wagons were provided free of charge under the ladies’ direction to pick up trash and garbage litter, except manure and ashes. One request was to have alleys cleaned as there were numerous monuments of richness around barns that could be fertilizing farm fields instead of wafting stinking odors in nostrils of the citizens.

Once interested in a movement, the ladies did not rest until it was carried through. They agitated and accomplished some most desirable results and are entitled a lot of credit for their activities along the line of city improvement.

Iowa Learning Farms to host cover crops workshop Nov. 25 in Truro TRURO — Iowa Learning Farms (ILF), as part of the Iowa Cover Crops Working Group, will host a cover crops workshop 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25, at Truro Community Building, 100 S. Railroad St. in Truro.

Cover crops are growing in popularity in Iowa. As part of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy, cover crops added to a corn-soybean rotation can help reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loads, increase soil organic matter, and reduce soil erosion.

Cover crops also provide a great opportunity for grazing and forage to extend feed sources without converting acres to pasture and hay.

Workshop attendees will hear from host and ILF farmer partner Tim Palmer who will share his experience using cover crops with his cattle operation

on his farm. Also speaking are Iowa State University Extension beef specialist Patrick Wall, and Margaret Chamas, Practical Farmers of Iowa livestock coordinator, who will discuss the benefits of cover crops and will offer points on livestock grazing of cover crops.

A complimentary lunch will be provided. To RSVP for the workshop, contact Iowa Learning Farms, 515294-8912 or email: ilf@ iastate.edu by Nov. 24 or text Tim Palmer, 641-4310078.

Also sponsoring the event is the Madison County Soil and Water Conservation District.

The Iowa Cover Crops Working Group is working to increase the amount of living cover on Iowa agricultural lands. The group provides a unified voice from academy, non-profit and industry sectors on the importance of cover crops and

encouragement of their use in cropping systems across the state.

For more information about Iowa Learning Farms, visit the website: http:// www.extension.iastate.edu/ ilf/.

Established in 2004, Iowa Learning Farms is building a Culture of Conservation, encouraging adoption of conservation practices. Farmers, researchers and ILF team members are working together to identify and implement the best management practices that improve water quality and soil health while remaining profitable.

Young Lady Indians focusing on defense

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

It’s time for a new group of Clarke Lady Indians to step up and leave its mark on Clarke girls basketball.

The Lady Indians relied heavily on strong senior classes each of the past two years. With those two classes graduating, there’s plenty of opportunities this year for players to leave a mark.

Head coach Eric Zoske loses 79 percent of his team’s scoring from last year, but brings back four players he feels can form a solid foundation for this year’s team.

“The big three that we’ll have right now — Sydnee Redman, Vanessa Bakley and Baylie Balcaen, and Maddi Heath, when she gets back from injuries, she’ll be a big part of what we do, as well,” he said.

“Those four right there are going to be the heart and soul of what we’re doing.”

Heath is the top returning scorer for the Lady Indians at 4.8 points per game last year. She registered 40 assists and 26 steals last year, but will miss the beginning of the season while recovering from injuries sustained in a car wreck.

Balcaen averaged 4.1 points per game a year ago and ranked second on the team with 7.0 r e b o u n d s Balcaen per game.

Those are the only two players returning with varsity starting experience.

OST file photo by SCOTT VICKER

Clarke junior Maddi Heath (left) defends Central Decatur’s Caitlyn Saxton during a game last year. Heath is one of two returning starters for the Lady Indians in 2014-15, along with fellow junior Baylie Balcaen.

“Baylie brings the most minutes per game for us,” Zoske said. “She’s got to lead by example. I think Baylie finished top five in the conference in rebounds. I’m expecting a big year out of her. Her role last year wansn’t to score a whole lot. Her role this year is going to have to be to score a whole lot. That’s one big adjustment.”

Redman and Bakley have both shown improvement from last season, Zoske said.

“Vanessa and Syd got some minutes in varsity,” he said.

“Those two are d o i n g Bakley

well. Last year down the stretch, they improved tremendously. They’ve grown over the summer. They’ve gotten faster and stronger and their shots have gotten better, too.”

Kassidy Spurgin is the lone Spurgin

senior on this year’s team and will join Balcaen in the post. Freshman Hannah Moore also figures to see playing time in the post for the Lady Indians.

Defense With so much of the team’s scoring from a year ago having graduated, Zoske knows points might be hard to come by this year.

That’s why his team is focusing on effort and defense.

“We don’t really have a direct identity yet,” Zoske s a i d .

“We’re r e a l l y young. I have one senior on the team.

W e ’ r e y o u n g . Zoske It’s goign to take a little bit to really figure out who we are. But who we have to be this year is a strong defensive team. The scoreboard is going to read whatever it reads at the end of the games. We just need to give our full effort and play tight D, and that’s all we can ask for.”

One advantage for the Lady Indians will be team speed. What they lack in size, Zoske believes they more than make up for in speed, which will pay dividends defensively.

“This freshman Chynna Beydler is going to be a stud in track,” he said.

“She’s a runner. Put her on the floor, she’s probably the fastest girl on the court.

So she’s going to be a pretty good defender for us.

Vanessa and Syd, they’re both just as quick as a n y b o d y . Redman W e ’ r e s m a l l , we’re short, but we’re also advantaged in speed.”

Central Decatur senior quarterback Trenton Wells was named the offensive MVP of Class 1A District 8 this year after a breakout season.

Wells is one of five Central Decatur players to earn first-team all-district honors, while Interstate 35 received two first-team nods.

Wells earned unanimous selections to the district’s first team as quarterback and as punter.

The 6-3, 190-pound senior leads Class 1A in total yardage (rushing plus passing) with 3,497 yards.

He ranks second in Class 1A with 41 total touchdowns.

Wells provided a dual threat out of the backfield for the Cardinals, finishing the year with 1,859 rushing yards for a 6.9 yards per carry average and also completed 100 passes for 1,638 yards.

Central Decatur senior offensive lineman Garrett Clark also earned a unanimous selection to the first team offense.

Interstate 35 senior Zach Goering received a unanimous selection to the first-team defense as a defensive lineman. Goering recorded 10 total tackles, including three solo tackles for loss.

CLARKE: Continued from page 6

Zoske expects to mix things up defensively throughout the season. If he has enough girls capable of logging varsity minutes, he’ll employ a press.

But, he said, his team will utilize several different defenses.

“What you’ll see from us this year is probably a different blueprint in each game,” he said. “I’m not sure if I’m going to run the same thing over and over.

We are going to have to mix it up. Becuase it will be tough for us to score, we just need to play really tough defense. Whether you can score or not, it doesn’t matter if you can’t play defense.”

Close calls Clarke went 7-15 last year, after winning the South Central Conference championship three years in a row before that.

But, several of those losses last year were close games that came down to the wire. And Clarke just couldn’t quite get over the

CLASS 1A:

hump.

“One thing that taught last year is character,” Zoske said. “You can only get your heart broken so many times until you decide to do something about it. We were 7-15 and five or six of those games could have swung the opposite way. It just didn’t work out for us as far as wins and losses go. What we did learn from that is what it means to stay together and be a family.”

Like the Lady Indians, most of the teams in the South Central Conference graduated a high percentage of their scorers.

That makes the race for the conference title anybody’s ballgame.

“We lost a lot of seniors, but so did every single team in the conference,” Zoske said. “About 75 percent of the scoring in the conference graduated.

I know about as much of the conference this year as I did my first year. That’s kind of fun, because it honestly could be anybody’s championship this year.”

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.

ridor, one of those reporting DNR workers--wildlife biologist Tim Thompson--could see the number had climbed.

“I’m seeing more ducks coming in than going out. Our count is over 14,000 total; up from about 5,500 the week prior,” noted Thompson. “We have more mallards and greenwinged teal; not as many pintail as earlier. We are picking up a few of the later migrants; a handful of common mergansers, some bufflehead. There is still plenty of season remaining, though.”

On the Hawkeye area, Japanese millet and winter wheat, seeded in late summer, provide better fuel for their trip south than the smartweed, aptly named duckweed and other natural vegetation. That can hold waterfowl longer; so long as the weather is not warning them to keep pushing south.

Last week’s counts tallied at 72 statewide refuges and other wetlands went from 62,800 to 119,000, just days before strong north and west winds were expected to blow four to six inches of snow into the Dakotas and Minnesota. The counts can change dramatically from day to day; depending on how many arrive and how many ‘short timers’ are pushed out.

Statewide, the counts—over the long term--provide a look at migration patterns; basically what comes through, when and for how long. That helps with season setting and better management of wildlife areas for the waterfowl.

“For the short term, they offer an impression of what was using the area during the week,” says Hancock.

“When ducks decide to leave

an area; that is the Great Unknown.”

He emphasizes that studying the weather charts, helps provide better decisions.

Iowa’s duck season, north of Highway 30, extends through December 7. South of 30, it continues through December 11. In the Missouri River zone, closing day is December 18.

Archery participation Archery is experiencing a wave of popularity thanks, in part, to the successful Hunger Games series, and locally to Iowa’s expanding archery in the schools program.

In conjunction with the release of “Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1” on Nov. 21, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources in partnership with the Iowa Bowhunters Association will be giving away a brand new Matthews Genesis Bow valued at $200.

To enter the drawing, watch the movie, save the ticket and go to www.iowadnr.gov/archery for instructions. Entries must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2014 for the drawing in January. The Iowa Bowhunters Association’s National Archery in the Schools Program Foundation is sponsoring the bow for the drawing.

The bow will be awarded at

Buck Hollow Sports, in Pella.

The winner will get to choose either a right or left handed bow and the color.

Iowa has real life archery stars of its own.

Miranda Leek, from Des Moines, is the current indoor and outdoor champion, a member of the 2014 Senior US National Archery Team and the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team for women’s recurve archery.

Bridger Deaton, of Otley, is a member of 2014 Senior U.S. Archery Team for men’s compound archery, after his team placed silver in Wuix, China at the 2013 World Archery Youth Championships.

Matt Stutzman, from Fairfield, won a silver medal in the 2012 London Paralympics.

Currently, more than 2,500 elementary through high school student athletes participate in Iowa’s National Archery in the Schools program.

Parents or students interested in competing in archery at their school can learn more about the program at www. iowadnr.gov/nasp.

There is so much more to archery than the simple bow and arrow. Make sure to also visit www.releaseyourwild. com to spread the love of archery.

Duck migration Cold temperatures, snow and wind this week across the Dakotas and Minnesota are being watched closely by Iowa waterfowlers.

Migrating duck numbers have gradually been increasing in Iowa. This week’s weather will push lot of those northern birds south. That is good news here for hunters, birdwatchers and other outdoor enthusiasts IF the ducks and geese stick around.

It’s important to look at the whole weather system, not just which way the wind is blowing, where--and on the days--you hunt.

“A lot of ducks are moving south, but how the weather system tracks is important,” reminds DNR waterfowl technician Al Hancock. “If we are sitting with west winds blowing out of the Dakotas and through Iowa, that’s optimal.”

However, he reminds hunters that it is important to look at the rotation of that storm cell; to track wind direction on the backside. If prevailing winds turn out of the southeast or south, it could set migrating ducks down for a couple days. If the north or westerly push continues, they could fly straight through. Most internet weather sites now have wind maps available.

“We had a gradual increase in numbers through the third week of October; no major movements,” said Hancock.

“However in the last two weeks, we have seen bigger migration.”

He charts weekly counts, reported from refuges, hunting areas and other wetland locations across Iowa. The weekly statewide waterfowl report is at www.iowadnr.gov. Click on Hunting, then Migratory Birds, to find your way to the reports…filed each Friday.

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.

Quitline Iowa offers support for Great American Smokeout participants

OST photo by AMY HANSEN

Grand re-opening: Above, a ribbon-cutting ceremony

is held at Robinsons True Value Thursday, Nov. 13. The ribbon cutting was to celebrate the grand re-opening of the store after a full-store renovation. Left, a plaque of recognition is presented during the ribbon-cutting ceremony during the grand re-opening of Robinsons True Value. The plaque was to honor Mickey Thomas, Dennis Foote and 56 years of True Value Hardware retailing service.

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds Iowans who need help quitting smoking or using smokeless tobacco of a great incentive to enroll in Quitline Iowa before the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout® Nov. 20. Any participant who enrolls could be eligible for eight weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy, including patches, gum or lozenges.

According to the American Cancer Society, the decision to quit using tobacco has nearly immediate results.

Within 20 minutes, your heart rate and blood pressure drop.

Within 12 hours, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. Within two to three months, your circulation improves and your lung function increases. After one year of living tobacco free, the excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a continuing smoker’s.

Some Quit Tips offered by the American Cancer Society include taking a brisk walk instead of a smoke break, staying away from people and places that tempt you to smoke, and finding support through organizations or friends. IDPH offers this kind of support with Quitline Iowa.

Iowans can take advantage of the program benefits

offered by Quitline Iowa by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW. The program gives participants access to a trained Quit Coach® to help them achieve freedom from tobacco. The Quit Coach® provides services including: • Preparing participants for their quit date • Helping develop an individualized quitting plan • Providing tips and support to live in a smoke-free environment • Offering advice and information on medications that may help with withdrawal symptoms The Great American Smokeout® grew out of an event in 1974, when the editor of a Minnesota newspaper organized the first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. Two years later, on Nov. 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society® successfully encouraged almost 1 million smokers to quit for the day. That event marked the first of what would become an annual event across the nation in 1977.

Tobacco users can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800784-8669) or visit www.quitlineiowa.org today to enroll in the program and talk to a Quit Coach®. Registration specialists and Quit Coaches are available 24 hours a day.

Serving Osceola Since 1987

Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, recently announced that his office is now accepting applications from Iowa college students to participate in a Congressional internship program in his Washington, D.C., office. The internship program is open to undergraduate students and recent graduates, regardless of major. Spring internships typically begin after Jan. 1 and run through Memorial Day, though specific dates can be set for each individual.

“As a former educator, I have seen the benefits that internships can provide by

giving students a firsthand look into the government process,” Loebsack said. “I encourage all hardworking, motivated students and recent graduates to apply.”

Interns will have the opportunity to learn about the legislative process and the federal government by working closely with the legislative, communications and constituent services staff members. Interested candidates should email their cover letter, resume, a short writing sample and a letter of recommendation to LoebsackInternship@mail.house. gov.

Seriously?

By the Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

“Are you the chemist we’ve been waiting for?”

Ben was a chemist, and he was here to help with a clean water filtration project, but Ben was also a Christian missionary. His Pakistani hosts had given him careful instructions. Over and over, they told him, “You are a chemist. If you want to live to return home, you are a chemist.”

So, any time an official (or anyone else for that matter) asked him who he was, why he was traveling to Pakistan, anything, Ben always answered, “I am a chemist here to help with clean water.”

That much was certainly true, but Ben had an additional purpose. He also hoped to share the living water of Christ with those he would meet.

Given these very definite (and determined) traveling instructions, Ben was quite surprised at his welcome the next Sunday evening as he was welcomed to the small basement church. He had never experienced being part of a church so persecuted it had to meet in secret, continually changing its worship time and place. He quickly realized that his hosts had not exaggerated the danger he faced as a Christian here.

Ben was more than surprised. He was shocked by the words one elder spoke to him as worship began.

“We are so happy you are here. Now you can go out and show the people around here how wonderful Jesus is!”

Seriously? Are these people crazy? Chemist. Water. Are they crazy? Seriously?

Ben soon realized his thoughts must be showing on his face.

“Why me?” he asked them.

“Well,” they answered, “Like the book says, nobody should do anything in secret if they want people to know.

So, you should go show them Jesus!”

Ben took a deep breath. In addition to preparing and gathering knowledge and resources to address the very real and urgent need for his expertise in water filtration, Ben had spent much time in prayer as he prepared for this trip.

“This is not my time and place. It is yours. I am here to ship 6:30 p.m.

help you. Here in this place, your time is always here.” (See John 7:5-6) “Seriously?” they asked.

Ben’s answer?

“Yes, seriously. God is serious with you.”

This became his answer so often that soon he overheard them saying it to one another when worry or fear threatened to overtake them.

So began an amazing four months in Pakistan. Ben met many interesting people as he helped the people design and build water filtration and purification devices and systems.

What a difference clean, safe water made. He also coached and taught in the “underground” Christian church, which soon bore the name that loosely translated as “Church of the Ever-Clean Water.”

Ben was even more amazed at the strength of the Christian community there. He knew he was being observed closely and diligently by those whom he had learned wouldn’t hesitate to harm (or even kill) him if they knew he was there for more than earthly water purposes.

But, it seemed the more persecuted they felt, the more they had to change worship times and places, the stronger they became.

Oh, and their new “code word” for believers? It was — seriously?

How serious are you about connecting – and living out – the strength your relationship with Christ as his disciple gives you?

Often, we expect someone else to act out our discipleship for us. In other words, we choose them as our “disciple-proxies.” Perhaps it’s a friend, parent or grandparent or our pastor.

Seriously? It would do us well to remember. This is our time. Each one of us. Seriously. Yes, God is indeed serious with us. So serious God sent, sacrificed and resurrected his son to demonstrate it – seriously.

INTERSTATE 35 COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING MINUTES November 5, 2014 The Interstate 35 Community School District Board of Education held a work session (electronic meeting-ISFIS Fall Training), Wednesday, November 5, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. in the Superintendent s Office in Truro, Iowa.

President Julie Brownlee, Vice-President Leah Gray, Directors Tracy Bean and Dan Kirkpatrick were in attendance. Director Bryan Arzani was absent. Also present were Superintendent Dr. Kevin Fiene and Board Secretary Ted Bauer.

ISFIS (Iowa School Finance Information Services) held a virtual meeting from 6:30-7:30 p.m. with Northwest AEA participants and representatives of ISFIS. At 7:33 p.m., the electronic meeting was over and the meeting was adjourned.

Julie Brownlee, Board President Ted Bauer, Board Secretary INTERSTATE 35 COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION WORK SESSION MINUTES October 27, 2014 The Interstate 35 Community School District Board of Education held a work session, Monday, October 27, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. in the High School Library in Truro, Iowa.

President Julie Brownlee called the work session to order at 5:31 p.m. Directors Tracy Bean, Julie Brownlee, Leah Gray, and Dan Kirkpatrick were in attendance. Director Bryan Arzani was absent. Also present were Superintendent Dr. Kevin Fiene and Board Secretary Ted Bauer.

Motion by Kirkpatrick, seconded by Bean to approve the agenda; motion carried 4-0.

Dr. Fiene presented the Instructional Support Levy (ISL) through a Power Point presentation. He explained that 329 out of 338 districts in the state of Iowa have the ISL. Fiene expressed that the Interstate 35 students' education is worth spending as much as those students in our neighboring schools districts who have the ISL. Board members expressed their concerns about increasing taxes and would like to know how these additional funds would be used. The district did have an ISL for a 10-year period, but did not renew it when it expired.

Fiene explained the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) percentages for Reading and Math for 2013-14 and compared them to 2012-13. He further explained how these numbers affect how the elementary was designated as a School In Need of Assistance (SINA).

Fiene explained that Elementary Principal Casey Christensen is working with the SINA team to identify and implement changes to improve our test scores. Fiene explained that the SINA plan (for Math) is due November 14, 2014.

Fiene gave an update on the building and grounds projects and planning.

The bus parking area has been extended to the west. The rock still needs to be brought in. Lighting has been improved. Drainage will be improved by putting in a tile. A sidewalk has been poured between the two elementary playgrounds. Bus cameras have been backordered and should be installed and in place by Thanksgiving. Truck and snow plow will arrive in November. Rick Gray, Director of Buildings and Grounds, has been talking to the City of Truro to jointly replace the sidewalk west of the bus barn.

At 6:27 p.m., motion by Kirkpatrick, seconded by Gray to adjourn; motion carried 4-0.

Julie Brownlee, Board President Ted Bauer, Board Secretary

INTERSTATE 35 COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES October 27, 2014 The Interstate 35 Community School District Board of Education met in regular session, Monday, October 27, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. in the High School Library in Truro, Iowa.

President Julie Brownlee called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and welcomed all visitors. Directors Tracy Bean, Julie Brownlee, Leah Gray, and Dan Kirkpatrick were in attendance. Director Bryan Arzani was absent. Also present were Superintendent Dr. Kevin Fiene, Board Secretary Ted Bauer, and Student Council Representative Josh Hughes. All in attendance recited the Pledge of Allegiance and Brownlee read I-35's District Mission Statement and the District's Priorities.

Motion by Kirpatrick, seconded by Bean to approve the agenda; motion carried 4-0.

Open Forum: No visitors commented to the Board.

Education Spotlight: Wellness Center and Physical Education and Health Curriculum-Physical Education Teachers Moni Freeman (HS), Ray Condon (HS), Richard Sulentic (MS), and Roxanne Beeler (Elem) explained how they have implemented the Wellness Center into the P.E. curriculum and how they plan to utilize it in the future.

Dr. Fiene reported on the following items: SINA (Schools In Need of Assistance) update; update on various projects currently underway; Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) update; report on the development of Professional Learning Communities (PLC's) in the district; and HS musical is scheduled for November 14 and 15 at 7:00 p.m. each night at the Winterset Stage.

Vice-President Gray shared her involvement in an IASB focus group investigating the development of standards for Board members, similar to leadership standards for administrators. President Brownlee commented on what a great job everyone did with Trunk or Treat. Josh Hughes gave an update on Student Council activities including the Coaches vs. Cancer 5K Walk/Run and carnival games at Trunk or Treat which collectively raised over $1,300. Hughes also explained that the Student Council is looking at purchasing a digital record board for the school to support the Hall of Pride.

President Brownlee called for discussion and approval of the following consent agenda items: minutes of the September 29, 2014 work session, regular meeting, and annual board meeting, and the October 9, 2014 special board meeting; monthly bills; and contracts for Nick Grove (MS boys assistant basketball coach), Shianne McKinney (PT custodian), Cody Miller (FT night custodian), Caleb Moore (MS head boys basketball coach), Jamie Smith (MS head girls basketball coach), and Dinah White (HS basketball cheerleading coach). Motion by Kirkpatrick, seconded

by Bean to approve the consent items as presented; motion carried 4-0.

HS Spanish Teacher Alex Sanchez and four students updated the Board on the March 14-25, 2015 trip to Spain. Fourteen junior and senior students will participate.

Each student will spend five days living with a host family. Students have raised funds through candle sales and working concessions at Iowa State football games.

Dr. Fiene explained that the certified enrollment (students who reside in the district) has increased by nine students, but the number of students who open enrolled into the district has decreased and the number of students who open enrolled out of the district has increased. Fiene explained that the overall effect is that the district is serving 11 fewer students.

School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) 2014-15 request: Motion by Gray, seconded by Kirkpatrick to approve the application to the School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) in each of the following areas: increasing enrollment $57,294; open enrollment out $85,694; LEP instruction beyond 5 years $4,202; for a total of $147,190; motion carried 40.

The Board reviewed the bids received for the replacement of the sidewalk to the west of the bus garage and green space.

The City of Truro is also considering the replacement of the city park sidewalk that continues to the north past the district's property. Motion by Kirkpatrick, seconded by Bean to approve the lower bid for $11,670 for the district's portion from T & M Construction; motion carried 4-0.

Motion by Kirkpatrick, seconded by Gray to approve the three application requests for early graduation, pending successful completion of their required coursework; motion carried 4-0.

The Board will meet on November 5, at 6:30 p.m., in the Superintendent's Office for an electronic meeting with ISFIS. The next work session is set for November 24, at 5:30 p.m. and the next regular board meeting is set for November 24, at 7:00 p.m. at the high school library in Truro.

Steve Kaster, Secondary Principal, gave a Wellness Center committee update regarding the public use of the facility. The recommendation from the committee is to be open on the evenings of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and on Saturday mornings. The recommended cost is $2 per visit, utilizing punch cards which will be sold in two sizes (10 punches for $20 or 20 punches for $40). Kaster proposed that the district hire someone parttime during the 12 hours of operation. Dr. Fiene indicated that the cost of operating this service should be offset by the revenue generated and will be monitored.

Motion by Gray, seconded by Kirkpatrick to approve the recommendations of the committee as presented; motion carried 40.

Kirkpatrick moved to adjourn, Bean seconded; motion carried 4-0. Meeting was adjourned at 8:18 p.m.

Card of Thanks

Statewides

No thank you is big enough for the outpouring of love, prayers, and concern since Ronda's diagnosis in September.

We have so appreciated everything that has been done for us. The lawn mowing, cards, transporting of Luke, food, flowers, gift cards, taking care of our outside plants and hospital visits.

A special thanks to the dedicated and fabulous employees at Flowers 'N More, who stepped up to the plate with no notice and have done an incredible job steering the ship.

From the bottom of our grateful and overwhelmed hearts, we thank each and every one of you who has prayed for us or helped us in some way. May God richly bless you.
