Jenny Butler hired as chief medical officer

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Jenny Butler was hired as CMO in June, but it’s a return home for the Medora native.

Butler graduated from Southeast Warren High School in 1996, alongside her husband, Chad Septer, and went on to study at Iowa State University and University of Iowa. The former CMO of Jones Regional Medical Center in Animosa, Butler hopes to bring more options to Clarke County Hospital while also becoming more involved in the community.

What are your major responsibilities as CMO? I help build relationships with specialty people, so they will come here instead of all of our

What brought you to Osceola?

I have family in Osceola. My grandparents on

my mom’s side are from here – Allen and Phyllis Halvorsen. I have a lot of family connection here.

For residents complaining about water quality, relief is on the horizon. Two occurrences caused the taste, smell and appearance of city water to suffer in November. Both have been managed for the time being. In the future, water quality will be greatly improved if the Clarke County Reservoir Project progresses, said Osceola Water Works Superintendent Brandon Patterson.

2006, Haines held painting classes for the entire arts board in her studio, supplying them with all of the materials needed. She’s also been active in photography in the area, taking pictures during weddings and other

special events.

Haines’ work is featured at the CCAC artist exhibit area, located on the left wall of the Lakeside Casino and Hotel’s event lobby.

Jacobsen graduates from School of Police Staff and Command

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Sgt. Curtus Jacobsen of the Osceola Police Department has graduated from the School of Police Staff and Command (SPSC) at Northwestern University. The advanced 10-week course prepares students for managing more responsibilities and making the most of available resources.

Jacobsen is the second officer from Osceola to graduate from the program, with Osceola Police Chief Duffus completed his instruction in February 2016.

Intensive studies “It’s a lot of information in a short period of time, kind of like drinking from a fire hose,” said Jacobsen.

“The classes were pretty challenging.”

The program lasted from March 7 – August 19, 2016, and comprised of two weeks study sessions including 22 candidates from all over the Midwest. The program covered 27-core blocks of instruction, covering topics from organizational behavior to budgeting and resource allocation. Upon completion, students are eligible for six undergraduate credts from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

Fringe benefits In addition to learning how to put today’s best methods for law enforcement administration to work in real situations, graduates take with them a host of benefits aimed at making them more effective leaders in the future.

What have been the hardest adjustments to make?

In Animosa, I was very involved in the community. When you’re new, you’re trying to learn who works where and who you can ask if you need help. I don’t want to just work here and leave. I would like to be more involved. We bought land in Clarke County and are building a house next year.

Making waves in water quality

Celebrating Osceola’s creative spirit Few people in Osceola embody the arts like longtime resident Laura Haines.

She’s been an art teacher for more than 26 years, currently teaching with the I-35 district, and she’s had work on display in the area since she was a child.

“Not only is she a local girl, she’s a real professional,” said Board Member Mary Ellen Kimball.

“Many of us own her artwork.”

Haines also has a studio behind her home, where she gives private lessons in painting, drawing, photography and multimedia.

Since the ‘80s, her work has been on display, from being featured on campaign materials here in Osceola to hanging in private collections throughout the country.

When selected as the CCAC Artist of the Year in

I brought in occupational medical services.

Some of the employers were driving their employees all the way to Des Moines for work injuries. With workman’s comp, they have to pay the employees for mileage, time away and then time for a supervisor if they take them. It’s a lot different if you can just stay here and go to the local hospital here in Osceola. I hope people will embrace it instead of sending employees to Des Moines when they don’t have to.

What are your biggest challenges?

The occupational medicine clinic is not the same as the family medicine clinic. Employers need to call the hospital specialty clinic, because we can usually

Annual disinfectant changes Once a year, Osceola switches from using chloramines to purify city water supplies to free chlorine.

These chemicals do a better job of disinfecting the water – and the public infrastructure it runs through – than chlormines. Unfortunately, the change results in a bleach-like smell and taste with the potential to last a few weeks.

“This year has been tremendously better. Last year it was horrible,” said Patterson.

Osceola Water Works acted proactively this year in changing out all eight of the carbon filters at the water treatment plant. The filters soak in and process the chemicals responsible for the strange tastes and odors residents have reported.

Typically, the city changes only four of the filters every year. At $13,000 - $15,000, it’s a significant investment in water quality. Unfortunately, based on the design of the current system and growing environmental factors, it’s a necessity.

Battling blooms

algae

“Surface water is a lot

different from ground water,” said Patterson. “With ground water, you have issues, but quality is pretty consistent. With surface water, it’s constantly changing.”

This year, late-season algae bloom was a surprisingly persistent problem. Osceola Water Works treats West Lake, the source of the city’s water supply, with copper sulfate for algae control. As the algae dies off, it creates toxins to treat for as well, creating a precarious balancing act made worse by warm fall temperatures and agricultural run-off during storms.

Future benefits “Part of the drawback we have here is our treatment plant is right below the dam,” said Patterson. “The longer you have to treat it, the better it will be.”

Improving length of treatment is just one of the reasons Patterson is a big proponent of the Clarke County Reservoir Project. In addition, Osceola will greatly expand it’s available water volume and carbon filters won’t have to be replaced as often to ensure high quality.

“It will be five or six miles from the plant,” said Patterson. “Several neighboring areas don’t treat their lakes directly. They use different types of chemicals in the transmission line.”

The city is also looking at new carbon filters made specifically for processing surface water. While a major investment, these will help improve Osceola’s water quality while the reservoir project is in the works.

Clarke County Toys for Christmas program underway The annual Clarke County Toys for Christmas program began in 1969 when local attorney Larry VanWerden realized there would be children who would not have presents to open for the holidays.

Low-income families residing in Clarke County are eligible to apply for the program. Local public schools, agencies and organizations work together to ensure non-duplication of services. The program is entirely run by volunteers and financed by donations of new toys and clothes and cash contributions. There are no administrative costs to the program.

Volunteers shop and wrap the gifts and distribute them to approved families. Children through age 15 are served. Families can also receive a food voucher and a ham, turkey or pork loin which are all donated to the program. A major donation of $1,000 was received from the Wal-Mart Foundation this year.

Letters have already been sent to potentially

eligible families who can decide if they wish to participate. If a family has not received an application and is in need of help, they can apply at the SCICAP Community Center by bringing proof of residency and verification of income for the past 90 days.

For many families, this is the only Christmas their children will have, and they are so appreciative.

Last week’s donors include: Iowa TTT FZ, Torchbearer Kappa Chapter, Ruth Bethards, Osceola Lions Club, Glayne Adamson, Hopeville Ladies Auxillary, Liberty Ladies Aid, Slimming with Friends, Osceola United Methodist Church, Sarah Hettinger, Wal-Mart Foundation and donations were given in memory of Todd Pontier.

Further questions may be directed to Dianne Riley, Toys for Christmas Treasurer at 641-342-4681.

The distribution will be Dec. 19 and 20 this year at the Senior Center in Osceola.

Deer-related accidents are a fact of life in southern Iowa, where drivers run a 1/68 chance of a collision. The right driving techniques can lower those risks, but nothing can erase them completely. In certain situations, hitting a deer is a driver’s safest option.

“One thing that really can help you out is understanding deer behavior,” said Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Conservation Officer Michael Miller. “ I f Miller t h e first deer that runs across the road is a doe, that second deer is going to be a buck. It’s that second, third and fourth deer that cause problems for people.”

During mating season, bucks will blindly chase does across heavy traffic, paying little attention to the cars headed their way.

ing for items to steal. Even privacy glass, like most vehicles have, can be seen through. If leaving packages in your car, put them in the trunk. If you don’t have a trunk, cover them with a blanket. Out-of-sight, out-ofmind is the best practice here.

And, of course, don’t leave your phones, wallet or purse visible in your car. Lock your cars all the time.

The holidays can also be ruined at your home. When having items shipped to you, it’s best to have them delivered to a trusted neighbor or relative who is home during the day, or to your work, if allowed. Most shippers – UPS, FedEx, DHL – have instructions for delivery on their websites. A box sitting on the porch or by the front door is a sure sign to thieves and encourages them to look inside your house at what might be in view of doors or windows. Of course, keep your doors and windows locked.

It is that time of year again – the holiday season. With it comes shopping for that perfect gift. It’s also that time of year where thieves target your credit and debit cards, burglarize your homes and steal gifts from your cars. So, what can you do?

By Marty Duffus Osceola police chief

The calendar again reminds me that we are heading into the holiday season, which means the winter season is fast approaching. Winter usually means snow and, each year, I find myself hoping for either less of it than the year before or no snow at all. I understand none or a reduced amount isn’t good for our farmers or our water supply.

Each year, I submit this article that explains the city’s snow ordinance. It would be cumbersome to print it in its entirety so I’ll highlight some of the important areas.

First, the snow ordinance goes into effect automatically when the National Weather Service predicts 2 inches or more of snow or ice for our area or when 2 inches or more

of snow or ice has already fallen. The ordinance remains in effect for 48 hours after cessation of the storm or unless extended or cancelled by the street superintendent or myself.

When the snow ordinance is in effect, it means there is no parking or leaving of vehicles on any street, alley or other public right-of-ways maintained by the city. The parking ban exists until either declared over by the street superintendent or myself or when the streets have been completely cleared and pushed back to the curb. This doesn’t mean it is OK after the plow makes its first pass. Vehicles left on the streets, in alleys or other public right-of-ways are subject to a $20 parking ticket and being towed.

I use many types of media to announce to the public

when the ban or ordinance is in effect. My typical outlets are the department’s Facebook page, the city’s website, Osceola Sentinel-Tribune’s website, message boards at American State Bank Motor Bank, Hunsicker Insurance and Hy-Vee, our NIXLE program, television stations KCCI, WHO, WOI, KDIN and FOX and our local radio station KSOI. Finally, property owners are required to clear your sidewalks within 48 of the cessation of the snow event or the city may clear it for you at your expense. It is also illegal to push snow from your property into or across the street.

If you have questions, please feel free to either call orå come out to the law enforcement center and we’ll try to answer them.

With winter weather on the way, the nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) is launching the Great Winter Weather Prep education campaign to empower families to prepare now before freezing temperatures arrive.

The annual campaign offers simple tips to ensure safety and prevent costly losses by preparing homes and families to weather any storm this winter and beyond.

“The Great Winter Weather Prep offers clear, reliable information to help families prepare before freeze watches and warnings are issued,” said FLASH President and CEO Leslie Chapman-Henderson. “Power outages, frozen pipes and water damage not only create unsafe homes, but they bring costly yet avoidable repairs.”

Still facing winter's chill.

They kept their sights on freedom With courage, work, and will.

The elections were full of “promises.” The TV, radio, news ads, emails, texts and mailings told us all about them. I know from the past years of campaigns that these promises will more than likely never be fulfilled. My reaction may be the same as yours: “WOW!” Over 65 years ago, I made a commitment to a promise that has been made to you and me for more than 2,000 years. The promise comes from God. From the Old Testament, we know it was fulfilled.

God does not make empty promises.

In Genesis 12: 2-3, God promised to bless Abraham and his descendants. God has fulfilled that promise. In the gospel of John 8:5558, Jesus declared these words about Abraham to the Jewish leaders of the day: “But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day;

he saw it and was glad.”

The Jews then said to him, “You are not yet 50 years old, and have you seen Abraham?”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

Jesus affirms the promise to Abraham.

The Prophet Isaiah prophesied of Jesus.

Isaiah 40: 29-31 declares the promise of Jesus the messiah: “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint.”

Isaiah foretold of the power that Jesus deliver us the strength of the mighty eagle. The Bible refers to the mighty eagle as a symbol of power more than 33 times.

Eagles have powerful wings and great eyesight. In the promises from God, we will be that strong.

Apostle St. Paul drives home the promises of Jesus. As Paul writes in Romans 8:27-38, “No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And, I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to sep-

arate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

God’s promise and the promises of Jesus cannot be removed by any vote, any poll or any news media! The promises will stand firm for us that “nothing in all of creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God as revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The election is over, but God’s love will stand firm. The promises of God go on eternally.

Thanks be to God, our Father and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Three area players earn all-state football honors

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

DES MOINES — Three area players from Class 1A District 5 have been chosen to the Iowa Newspaper Association’s all-state football team.

Interstate 35 was represented by senior Dante Arzani as a linebacker on the second team.

Central Decatur had two representatives. Senior Mickey Morgan was a second-team selection as a receiver. Junior Carter Boothe was tabbed as a second-team defensive back.

Arzani led the Roadrunners with 51 solo tackles and 49 assists. He had 10 solo tackles for loss, six assists for loss and three solo sacks and two fumble recoveries.

Arzani was the undisputed leader of the Road-

runner defense. “Dante’s our heart and soul,� said Interstate 35 coach Mike Stuart. “He made all of the calls. The kids fed off of him. Dante’s definitely a game changer for us.�

Arzani’s grit and determination made him a force at linebacker. “He’s as hard-nosed as they come,� Stuart said. “He doesn’t shy away from anybody. He has a 200-pound body that can get in there and fly around.

He’s meant for the position.�

Arzani was a player the Roadrunners looked up to on and off the field. “He’s very well respected,� Stuart said. “He’s a leader in the school, in the hallways, on the practice field. I don’t think you’ll find a kid who doesn’t look up to him and respect him.�

Arzani will leave a big

void in the Roadrunners’ roster next season. “He’s going to be tough to replace as a player with his leadership skills, his toughness, his smarts for the game,� Stuart said.

Off the field, Arzani might not appear to be a competitor.

But come game time, he’s as fierce as they come. “When you talk to him, he wouldn’t seem like a middle linebacker,� Stuart said. “He’s a nice kid. Once he puts on the pads, he’s pretty physical.�

Morgan was a big-play threat on the outside for the Cardinals.

Morgan led the Cardinals with 772 yards receiving on 44 catches with eight touchdowns. “Mickey was our big play guy,� said Central Decatur coach Jon Pedersen. “He made some difficult catches for us.�

Pedersen credited Morgan with working at his craft. “He’s worked really hard to become a really good athlete,� Pedersen said.

It is an addition to his natural skills. “He has pretty good coordination, pretty good speed,� Pedersen said. “He’s really good at jump balls. If you put it up in the air, he was tough to beat.�

Boothe was the anchor to the Cardinals’ secondary.

Boothe had 18 solo tackles, five assists. He had four interceptions and two fumble recoveries. “Carter’s the heart and soul of our team,� Pedersen said.

Boothe played more than half the season with a high ankle sprain. “He’s a really tough dude,� Pedersen said. “He’s one of the toughest kids I’ve coached.�

Boothe was a reliable safety valve on the last line of defense. “He doesn’t make mistakes. He knows where he’s supposed to be,� Pedersen said. “He does a good job of quarterbacking the defense.

He was always on the other teams’ number one receiver. He did a nice job shutting them down for the most part.�

Morgan and Boothe were two players the Cardinals could look up to. “They both do things the right way,�

Pedersen said. “They’re good role models for what we want to accomplish in our program.�
