KSOI garners national attention

By HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa. com

MURRAY – The community thought it was special when Iowa news station KCCI came to town to learn more about the community radio station, KSOI 91.9 FM. Tuesday morning, representatives from a national program, NBC Nightly News, stopped by Murray and Osceola for a follow-up aimed at a much wider audience.

“They left a message on our answering machine, and I listened to it twice,” said station manager Kim Romero.

The station kept their plans under tight wraps.

Even those involved in the station’s operations weren’t sure when and where the news crews were arriving until the weekend.

Coverage started with a stop at the Murray Community Schools, where high

why, when and where,” said Alyssa Martin, co-editor of publication staff.

Interviews only last a few minutes.

“I feel like a lot of people now are getting more involved in what we’re doing,” said Martin. “If they listen to the radio, which in Murray they probably do, I think more people are listening and getting involved.

You stay updated with all the news.”

Most recordings are made Tuesday morning and then set to run starting the following day on the station, typically around 7:25 a.m.

Other students recite the pledge and read student announcements on air.

According to Murray Su-

perintendent Alan Miller, one of the reasons the Mustang Ranch began was to help students with articulation and with developing the habit of asking good follow-up questions.

Murray, Woodburn residents angry after changes in casino revenue

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

For nearly two decades, Osceola has shared certain revenue from the casino with the small towns of Murray and Woodburn. At the City Council meeting Tuesday, Feb. 21, members unanimously agreed to put an end to the payments. It’s a move that’s caused anger and concern among residents who worry about the impact.

“When you sit on a council bench, you sometimes have to make these hard decisions. It keeps you up at night,” said Osceola Mayor Thomas Kedley.

Budget constraints across Iowa have put local governments in a pinch. What was once a goodwill gesture is taking too many funds away from Osceola, where it’s now needed.

“It was set up in 1997. I think the idea behind it was to demonstrate to a public who was new to gaming that everybody was going to benefit in one way, shape or form,” said City Administrator Ty Wheeler. “This arrangement was actually for the revenues received from the lease of the property.”

The money comes from a 1.5 percent leasing fee paid to Osceola for keeping the casiContributed photos no on West Lake.

believe county funds are a more appropriate source of money for the other towns.

“Woodburn and Murray should get a contribution from the casino,” said Kedley, “but it should not come from the city of Osceola.

That’s not just me.

That’s also five other Kedley members out there.”

It’s money that could soon be needed. According to Wheeler, if regulations stay as they are, Osceola must have a new sewage treatment facility by January 2021. At this time, the projected cost for the plant if built to meet government specifications is $18 million.

“With the times we’re at right now with state budget cuts, city budget cuts, it just kind of felt like it was time,” said Kedley of the funding change. “I think we did it as respectfully as possible.

We’re not just cutting them loose. we’re phasing it out over two years.”

The motion passed Feb. 21 will reduce contributions to the town by 50 percent the first year and 100 percent by 2019.

According to a statement released by the city of Murray, the decision will result in a loss of more than $30,000 for the community.

Thursday, Feb. 23, in Murray.

According to a Clarke County Sheriff’s report, Danny Glenn Johnson, 61, of Murray was driving a 1992 Ford while towing a feed wagon north on Maple Street across the railroad tracks. The axle on the wagon broke, and the exposed wires looped around the tracks. Johnson attempted to pull the trailer from the tracks, causing damage to the crossing, however, the tracks were blocks and there were exigent circumstances that warranted such an action. An officer arrived on the scene within a few minutes and notified the railroad of the problem. Johnson was able to free the trailer using a front end loader located a half a block away.

Osceola avoids major storm damage

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

A cold front moving through the Midwest Monday night brought with it high winds and hail and created funnels throughout Iowa.

The Attig and Hobbs Weather Page, a popular weather resource on Facebook, pinpointed severe conditions throughout the state and gave communi-

ty members a platform for sharing warnings for their neighbors, in many cases before official sources were available.

While there was no tornado or heavy hail damage in Osceola, there were sightings about 30 miles to the north and damage to the south in the town of Seymour. The town’s school lost a portion of its roof and the bus barn was completely wiped out. Various structures throughout the small

town were badly damaged.

“I was raised in Promise City and attended Seymour schools,” said local Paula McLaflin. “I was scared to death for family and friends in its path.”

An official tornado warning went out Monday afternoon, with a follow-up severe thunderstorm warning released at 6:45 p.m. Heavy winds and rain lasted for less than three hours.

Nearly 4,000 Alliant Energy customers were still

without electricity Monday night and into the morning, though Osceola service largely stayed intact.

In Warren and Madison County, more than 600 customers served by Midamerican Energy were still without electricity at 11 p.m. Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative was also struggling to keep service going in Lucas County, though under 60 customers were without power by midnight.

Seniors on Fixed Incomes Can Find Help with Rising Costs ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Living on a fixed income is a challenging reality for millions of older Americans. Social Security provides most retirement income for about half of households aged 65 and older. And approximately half of households aged 55 and older have no retirement savings in a defined benefit plan or IRA. Programs that older adults rely on like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security could undergo changes this year that would affect their expected budgets. Which means, now is the time for older adults to fortify their fixed incomes by finding benefits programs. For many low

income older adults, there are federal and state programs that can supplement their fixed incomes, but often they are unaware of them. The National Council on Aging’s (NCOA) recently updated website, BenefitsCheckUp. org, is the go-to resource available to easily see if an older adult qualifies for more than 2,500 of these federal, state, and private programs.

BenefitsCheckUp®, the nation’s oldest and most successful public online benefits screening tool, has helped more than 5.5 million people find more than $18 billion in benefits. The website has a new modern design that facilitates a

simple process for consumers to learn about programs available to them, easily find out if they qualify, and quickly get connected with the application process.

“Many older adults tell us they need just a little extra money added to their budget, so they don’t have to worry about paying for their basic needs. But they also tell us they aren’t sure where to turn for information,” said Leslie Fried, Senior Director of the NCOA Center for Benefits Access.

“BenefitsCheckUp® is the solution. Seniors or their loved ones can use the free, confidential screening tool to see if they’re eligible for help and get all the information they need to

apply.”

The most accessed programs on BenefitsCheckUp® help seniors pay for medications, health care, housing, utilities, and nutrition. However, the resource library on the website now makes it even easier to search programs by state and get information on other programs.

Older adults and their loved ones can find benefits programs by visiting www.benefitscheckup. org and answering a few questions to get started.

At the end, they will receive a personalized report with programs they likely qualify for, along with contact information, and next steps.

The family of Mary LaVina Israel would like to thank our family & friends for their support & kindness, visits, lovely flowers, Angel statues, cards & Memorial donations.

Thank you to Doctor Cohen & Staff at the LCHC for their care while she was there.

Iowa artists can submit art for Agriculture Art Exhibition DES MOINES – From the gentle swells of landscapes to barnyards and farm animals, the “Celebration of Iowa: Agriculture Art Exhibition” captures the splendor of the Iowa’s rural heritage.

Organizers of the sixth annual exhibit are accepting new submissions through July 1. The competition offers $5,600 in prizes, with​awards presented​during the Iowa State Fair and f​inalist artwork ​ displayed August through October at the State Historical Museum of Iowa in Des Moines.

The exhibit is overseen by the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs; the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship; and the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

“Iowans have honored the beauty and diversity of our land through art long before we were even a state,” Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs Director Mary Cownie said. “We are grateful to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation for partnering with us to showcase Iowa artists of all ages and encourage their talent.”

“Agriculture accounts for one out of every five jobs in Iowa, but few Io-

wans get a chance to work the land,” Iowa Farm Bureau Federation President Craig Hill said. “So it’s very satisfying that this exhibit draws attention to our passion for growing crops and caring for animals.”

“Celebration of Iowa: Agriculture Art Exhibition” is a juried exhibit that recognizes Iowa artists and celebrates Iowa’s role as a global leader in agriculture.

Artwork will be judged on innovation of concept and the aesthetic and technical quality of the work. There is a Youth Division (17 years of age and younger) with a $1,000 first place prize and an Adult Division (18 years of age and older) with a $1,500 grand prize.

Second, third and other finalists will also receive monetary awards.

Exhibit entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges arranged by the Iowa Arts Council. Eligible participants must be Iowa residents working in 2D media. (Sculpture, film, video, or installation work will not be accepted.) Accepted works must be ready for display (with frames, if necessary, and any related hanging gear) and must not require set-up by the artist. Only one application may be submitted per individual.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Robert Johnson Osceola

Bottle Bill 163 Why would we change or do away with any bill or law that has worked for almost 40 years?

Our roadsides and right of way are nearly clear of drink cans and bottles; unlike other states that do not have a deposit law.

It clearly seems the grocery and convenience stores have had a total influence on your decision to change what has worked so very

well for Iowa and Iowans.

What needs to be changed or adjusted is to increase the deposit and the reimbursement to someone willing to redeem them (the redemption centers 10,000 cans = $100, $0.01 each).

The businesses that sell the drinks and don’t want to redeem them should consider help paying something to someone who would be willing to do so.

Also, water and juice containers should be included.

Please contact your state rep: Amy Sinclair or Joel Fry.

At the Movies ‘Fifty Shades Darker,’ Rated R

By HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Throughout the last week, the Lyric Theater in Osceola played the new “LEGO Batman” movie. Rated PG, but still filled with plenty of jokes for adults to enjoy. It was a great selection for a family night out at the movies.

Running Friday, March 10, to Thursday, March 16, “Fifty Shades Darker” is rated R for strong erotic sexual content, some graphic nudity and language. In other words, it’s not for children.

The movie — based on the book, which started out as fan fiction based on the supernatural, young-adult romance, “Twilight,” by Stephenie Meyer — fascinates audiences all the same.

The “Fifty Shades’” series is one of few mainstream

works to shed light on sadomasochism, though followers of Bottom/Submissive (BDSM) culture claim the movie is filled with harmful inaccuracies. Do most audiences mind? Probably not.

Viewers love that Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson) has embarked on her own, determined to ditch her self-absorbed, sadistic, billionaire ex-boyfriend. They love to see said ex, Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan), doing his best to win her over, and failing — yet somehow succeeding.

In essence, “Fifty Shades Darker” is more about fixing a broken person than it is about kinky sex, though there are enough bedroom antics for most viewers.

For some, it’s naughty, and for others, it’s hilariously awkward, but for whatever reason, “Fifty Shades” will captivate fans.

OUR COURTHOUSE

By Marie White,

Clarke County Historical Society

The second Clarke County courthouse was built in 1892 and plagued with difficulties almost from the time it was erected. The faulty foundation under the massive brick struture had been bolstered by tons of concrete. Steel rods had been run in all directions through the building from top to bottom to halt the cracks that caused the walls to buckle and the floors to sag. Bricks

were slowly crushed under the pressure.

The citizens of the county voted bonds necessary to build a new courthouse and constructions began on the third and present courthouse dueing the winter of 1955.

The contractor had to do excavation work when it was discovered that numerous large rocks and huge chunks of concrete were buriend in the earth where the wing of the main entrance would go.

The new courthouse was to be located just west of the old courthouse structure and

in the form of a “T.” The base of the “T” faced east to show off to the best advantage from the highway and the east side of the square which had the heaviest business traffic.

When the forms on the pillars of the courthouse were removed, spectators got a better perspective of what the finished product would look like. The pillars had a marble look, as workmen using plywood forms and an electric vibratormade the concrete cling to the wood’s sign.

State Forest Nursery packet promotes butterfly and bird habitat DES MOINES –The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) State Forest Nursery is promoting butterfly and songbird habitat with its March Butterfly and Bird seedling packet.

“This packet consists of four shrub and one tree species selected for their potential to attract butterflies and songbirds to your property,” says State Forester Paul Tauke. “There has been an increasing amount of attention and concern over the declining number of pollinators active on our landscape.

Planting a Butterfly and Bird packet is one small way to help these species recover and improve the health of our environment.”

This Butterfly and Bird packet is only available in March. Cost for the 250 bare-root seedlings is $190 plus tax, shipping and handling, the same price as a regular 200-seedling packet. The Butterfly and Bird packet includes 50 each of the following: Arrowwood Arrowwood produces white flowers in late May to early June followed by bluish-black berries in the fall. Found in open wood-

lands, along forest edges and stream sides, it attracts and provides a nectar source for butterflies such as the spring azure, red admiral, eastern comma, red-spotted purple, white-m hairstreak, question mark, and the striped hairstreak, a species of special concern, and the threatened Baltimore butterfly. It is a larval host for Henry’s elfin butterfly.

Chokecherry Chokecherry flowers from April through July and attracts butterflies, honeybees and other pollinators to its flowers and nectar. The caterpillars of the red-spotted purple butterfly use chokecherry leaves as a food source. It is a larval host for the great ash sphinx and the hickory hairstreak, another butterfly species of special concern. It is a nectar source for Juvenal’s duskywing and Henry’s elfin butterflies. Robins, thrushes, grosbeaks, woodpeckers, jays, bluebirds, catbirds, kingbirds and grouse eat chokecherries.

Redosier Dogwood Redosier dogwood produces cream flowers in May and June. It is a larval host for the spring azure butter-

fly, and nectar source for the American snout, banded hairstreak and white-m hairstreak butterflies. Redosier dogwood also provides food for the northern flicker, robin, eastern bluebird and purple finch.

Ninebark Ninebark produces clusters of white flowers and blooms in late spring to early summer. Its flowers provide a nectar source to butterflies and other pollinators.

Hackberry This medium to large native tree is a valued urban shade tree. It is a vital larval host plant for many butterflies, including the emperor, question mark, American snout and wild cherry sphinx. The round, deep purple fleshy fruit of the hackberry is attractive to a variety of birds and other wildlife, and is edible to humans.

The seedlings are between 8 and 24 inches, depending on the tree or shrub species.

To take advantage of this offer, call the State Forest Nursery at 1-800-865-2477 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and mention the “Butterfly and Bird Packet.”

Christian Filmmaking SALISBURY, MARYLAND — Christian Newswire — Film production company Christian Walk Alive, is set to produce a documentary on Christian films. The title of the project, Breaking Good: The Counter Culture of Christian Film, is a play off of the title of the popular TV show, Breaking Bad. The film is set to explore not only the impact and history Christianity has had on films but will delve into some of the more difficult questions surrounding the status and future of Christian film-

making. The fundraising campaign for the film can be found at www.breakinggoodfilm.net.

Christian Walk Alive or CWA for short, is a non-profit media ministry.

CWA’s goal is to make full length feature films that will be available for wide release. CWA has previously released two other films.

The first was a feature called Homecoming in 2012, and a short film/video bible study titled, Masquerade in 2016.

Masquerade is being distributed by Bridgestone Multimedia Group.

The legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden was once asked his opinion of former Indiana coach Bobby Knight.

Here’s what Wooden had to say: “I think Bob Knight is an outstanding teacher of the game of basketball, but I don’t approve of his methods. But I’m not a judge, and I’m not judging Bob Knight. There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us, it hardly behooves me to talk about the rest of us.”

As is so often the case, the inquisitor was seeking some juicy tidbit of derogatory information from Wooden that he could run with and make a story out of. But Wooden understood what Henry Kaiser once said, “When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.” Wooden, who passed away in 2010 at the age of 99, has shown us what a legend looks like.

He was not only a gentlemen on the court, he also set records that may never be broken. His 10 national championships, his 88 game winning streak, his phenomenal winning percentage, the players he groomed for stardom in the NBA - this is his legacy; he had no reason to add the ti-

tle of “outspoken critic” to the list.

In your life and mine, in your work and mine, there are a number of potential (even so-called “worthy”) targets of our own outspoken criticism. If we’re not careful, they can take up all of our time and attention.

And if we’re not careful, we can be sidetracked into thinking that our opinions are more important than our actions.

It’s what you do that ultimately makes a difference.

Talk isn’t enough. Opinions aren’t enough. Criticism, no matter how on-target or how well-articulated, is never enough. You prove who you are by the way that you live, not the way you criticize.

The New Testament Apostle Paul asked: You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. (Romans 14:10, NIV) So......what would it look like if, instead of seeking reasons to criticize others, we began looking for the best in others? What if, instead of accentuating the negative, we began to focus on the positive? We all know there’s negative out there, and the reality is, you have some in you and I have some in me. But I know I don’t want what’s

ident Larry Amon “Breaking Good is not simply going to be a commercial for Christian films but a real exploration of the history of Christianity in films, and a deep hard look at what place Christian films have in our culture today. Christian films and filmmakers vary greatly in their topics as well as their approach on what a Christian film should be, or even if they should exist at all. This is something many people don’t realize, but it needs to be explored to find out just what place if any, Christianity can, and should have in popular culture.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Three area girls earn all-state honors Interstate 35’s Gracey Griglione, Central Decatur’s Emma Atwood and Alli Masters recognized by INA ■

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — A handful of area girls basketball players enjoyed outstanding seasons on the court.

Their efforts in helping their teams to strong seasons has drawn attention throughout the region and from across the state.

Interstate 35 senior Gracey Griglione, and Central Decatur sophomores Emma Atwood and Alli Masters have all earned spots on this season’s Class 2A all state teams released today by the Iowa Newspaper Association.

Griglione earned first-team honors, while Masters was second team and Atwood was third team.

Storied career for Interstate 35’s Griglione Gracey Griglione’s numbers tell the story of an impressive season and career.

The Creighton University signee for basketball capped her career with her third straight first team Class 2A INA selection.

Roadrunners coach Jamie Smith has seen quite the transformation from Griglione over her four years — becoming a player that’s one of the state’s best and earned the attraction of Division One coaches.

“She’s had quite a four years statistically and recognition-wise, also on a growth level, maturing from a freshman to a senior,” Smith said. “She’s someone who’s going to make waves not just at the college level, but hopefully contribute in the big scheme of things basketball. Some of the things she learned will help her later in life.”

As a senior, Griglione averaged 18.4 points per game, scoring 423 points this season. She averaged 11.5 rebounds a game, grabbing 264 this season. She also blocked 93 shots.

For her career, Griglione finished with 1,653 points, 936 rebounds and 412 blocked shots, among the state’s all-time best.

“She’s not just one of the better players in the POI (Pride of Iowa Conference) or I-35, but she’ll go down as one of the better players in the state of Iowa,” Smith said.

Smith noted Griglione is one of only six players in the 5-player era to amass over 1,600 points, 900 rebounds and 400 blocked shots for a career.

“When you start putting that together, she’s pretty special,” Smith said.

GIRLS GOLF

Clarke’s Lowry signs with Ottumwa

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

OSCEOLA — Clarke senior Breana Lowry had a desire to play golf at the college level.

She accomplished that dream recently by signing her letter-of-intent to play at Ottawa University in Kansas.

Lowry will join the team this fall.

“This is very important,” Lowry said. “I’ve wanted to play college golf, so this gives me a big opportunity to go different places and play different courses.”

The two-time all-South Central Iowa Conference performer refined her game to attract the attention of college coaches.

“I just wanted to improve my golf game, attract colleges, have bigger goals for me,” Lowry said.

Ottawa coach Wendell Smith noted Lowry’s desire to improve was noticeable in the recruiting process.

“She’s driven,” Smith said. “She has shown a lot of improvement in a short time golfing.”

Being able to focus and play year round at the college level will only take Lowry’s game to the next level.

“There’s a ton of potential there,” Smith said.

Lowry was an under-the-radar prospect the Braves landed.

“We feel like we’re getting a steal,” Smith said.

“We’re really excited about what she’s going to do for us.”

Lowry’s mental approach will serve her well at the college level.

Looking on include, front, from left, Bart Brass and Ronda Brass, and back, from left, Tracy Johnson, Walker Adams, Bruce Kentner, Steve McWilliams, Ottawa University women’s golf coach Wendell Smith and Hope Lowry.

“One of the things with college golf is it takes some time to develop,” Smith said. “You have to have the right attitude competitively to succeed. If you have that, you’ll be successful. She definitely has demonstrated that to us.”

Smith sees Lowry as an important piece of the fu-

ture for the Braves.

“We’re a couple of good girls away,” Lowry said.

“She’s a big piece of the puzzle. We hope she’ll be able to contribute early and often.”

Lowry’s classroom skills and personality, along with her golf attributes make her a fit at Ottawa.

“We want great character, very good students who happen to be decent golfers,” Smith said. “She fits all the criteria we’re looking for.”

Lowry enjoyed her time on campus when she visited the campus an hour southwest of Kansas City.

“They were very welcoming school,” Lowry said.

“The coaches were very welcoming, everyone was very welcoming.”

Ottawa is the right distance away from Osceola, she noted.

Lowry picked Ottawa over Northwest Missouri State.

Having the decision out of the way was a relief to the

Clarke senior.

“It’s definitely a relief off my shoulders,” Lowry said, adding: “I’m looking forward to meeting new friends, trying new environments.”

Griglione fits the mold of what Smith wants in a basketball player at Interstate 35 “She works hard. She respects the game. She plays hard, is smart, has fun,” Smith said.

Griglione’s work ethic has driven her so far and will continue to do so in Omaha.

“She’s motivated by being the best,” Smith said. “That’s a lot of five in the morning type of deals, shooting, get-

ting better. Is it paranoia?

Maybe, that someone’s working harder. All good players have a little paranoia in them.”

What Griglione will have to adjust to playing for the Bluejays and in the Big East Conference is how fast the game goes.

“I don’t care how good you are at the high school level, it’s a different step for her,” Smith said. “It’s going to be adjusting to the speed of the game. Skillwise, I don’t think there’s a lot of difference. The speed of the game is something she’s going to have to get used too.”

Bundridge accepted into photography salon

By HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa. com

Last summer, Murray resident April Bundridge submitted four photos to the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon.

Though she has been an avid photographer Bundridge since age 8 or 9. Only 23 percent of photographers were chosen for inclusion, which includes publication in a book of the winning photographs, so

Bundridge was surprised when one of her photographs made it.

“I discovered that I was the only person in Clarke County to submit a photo to the salon. I was surprised, considering how many wonderful entries we have at the Clarke County Fair each year,” said Bundridge. “I would encourage anyone who is considering entering a photo this year, to step up Contributed photo and take the chance.”

Iowa birth certificate exchange offered for small certificates issued from 1993-2009 The Iowa Department of Public Health Bureau of Health Statistics is taking steps to exchange any newborn birth certificate issued from May 1993 to October 2009, where the birth certificate is a small wallet-size card. The newborn birth certificate wallet cards issued during this time period did not contain enough vital record information to be used for identification purposes, essentially making them less useful for the purpose they are intended to be used for.

The newborn birth certificate wallet cards were issued from May 1993 to October 2009, and after the birth of a child in Iowa. The birth certificate wallet card was printed as a perforated attachment to a larger document. The newborn birth certificate wallet card measures 2 5/8 inches by 4

inches. The entire document that parents received measures 3 ½ inches by 8 inches.

The newborn birth cards may be exchanged by mail or in person with the Bureau of Health Statistics, 321 E. 12th St., Lucas State Office Building, Des Moines, Iowa 50319.

The following steps must be taken to expedite the exchange of the newborn birth certificate wallet cards: Download the Application for Certified Copy of Iowa Vital Record from http://www.idph.iowa. gov/health-statistics/request-record; Open Application for Copy of Birth Certificate link and print document; Complete the application, including notarized signature; Return application, copy of driver’s license and original newborn birth certificate wallet card in person
