Coming Murray’s graduation full circle

Murray’s new track provides athletic, educational experiences

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

MURRAY — The new track at Murray School District is going to mean many things to a lot of people, but first, it will show students can take something from the classroom and apply it to real-world knowledge.

“As a teacher, I often hear the question, ‘When will we ever actually use this stuff?’

And, it was great to have an opportunity to do just that,” said Mindy Oswald, Murray High School math teacher.

Finding formulas First, the land for the track was donated by the Hamer family. It is located north of the football field.

Then, students worked on

a layout for the track based on internet research and information shared with them

by Superintendent Alan Miller.

In the college algebra and calculus classes, students used the formula for circumference of a circle to come up with three possible plans for a 300-meter track of various lengths that they submitted to Miller.

The next week, both classes went to the track location and tried to utilize their plans. They found the proposed 300-meter track would not fit in the area available, so they worked together to create a track that would fit.

“I hope they learned a valuable application of what

Professional development helps connect teachers to new science standards A two day professional development workshop for teachers will be offered in Creston by the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Southwest Region of the Iowa Governor’s STEM Council.

The workshop will help teachers apply the newly adopted Next Generation Science Standards in the context of agriculture. The workshop will also use agriculture to teach other core concepts and skills like social studies, language arts, and math.

The workshop will be hands-on and interactive with one day of site visits and tours and one day of practical classroom application. Many STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) concepts will be integrated throughout.

“The new Iowa Core Science Standards will be a considerable shift for teachers in how they teach science to students,” said IALF executive director Will Fett. “The new standards are based on the Next Generation Science Standards and by using agriculture, students can learn science in a fun, engaging, and relevant way.”

The dates of the workshop are June 7-8 and will be held at the Southwestern Community College in Creston.

The workshop will include lesson demonstrations, tours of farms and agribusinesses, and hands-on implementation of concepts technical skills in agriculture.

The workshop will be available for teacher recertification credit and graduate level credit.

The workshop is made possible by supporters of the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation including CHS Foundation with additional support from Iowa Corn Growers Association, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area, DuPont Pioneer, GROWMARK, and the Iowa Beef Industry Council.

To find out more about this workshop visit www.

IowaAgLiteracy.org, email info@iowaagliteracy.org or call 515-331-4182.

——————

Date: June 7-8 Location: SWCC Instructional Center, Creston, Iowa Title: Agriculture and Technology take STEM & NGSS Beyond the Classroom Description: This fast-paced professional development offering will give teachers the skills they need to use agriculture and community resources to meet Iowa Core Standards — including NGSS. Participants will be introduced to FarmChat, a program that utilizes Skype or Google Hangouts to virtually visit farms and agribusinesses.

During the on-site workshop, participants will work with Iowa State University Extension and Iowa Agriculture Literacy Staff to develop ideas for FarmChat programs and lessons that integrate agriculture into existing curricula.

They will also visit a farm, learn about soil and water conservation, and take part in hands-on lessons that integrate agriculture into science, social studies and language arts learning.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Osceola Children’s Theatre a success

By Kathy Kooiker Osceola

I want to share my congratulations and thanks to Alisha Kale and the parents involved in Osceola Children’s Theatre production of Huck Finn’s adventures the last week of April.

As many of your readers may know, I was seriously injured in a head-on collision Dec. 27 while visiting my daughter in Virginia and was laid up for three months afterward. I will continue to have surgery and work on rehab for the rest of this year.

This has meant many life changes, but a tough one for me was not being able to direct my theatre company or to give my sixth-grade actors (who began with me at age 4) an opportunity for their final production.

Parent Alisha Kale contacted me to

see if I would mind if she and some of the other parents attempted to put on a show in my absence.

I was well enough to attend both performances and would like to publicly congratulate this team on a terrific job. I know it meant the world to the children and their families and certainly warmed my heart to see the show as a member of the audience.

This is a marvelous community that has continued to show me so much love, support and prayer. So many people have assisted me and continue to walk on the journey of my recovery with me. We are indeed lucky to have such “family spirit” in our community.

Thanks to all of this community for your support and especially to Alisha and Todd Kale and the relatives of actors who kept the Osceola Children’s Theatre mission alive.

This is an early phase of construction for the new track at Murray School District.

we have learned, as well as how to adjust plans when things don’t always go exactly as expected,” Oswald said.

Results Finally, the plan was to have a 252-meter track with a straightaway on the south end. This will allow for hurdlers and sprinters to practice at the same time.

In preparation for the construction of the track, Bud Jones cleared out trees and did grading and fencing.

A storage building, long-jump pit, high-jump and shot put areas were installed.

Miller said the intention of the track was never to be for competition.

“You don’t make money off the track meets. It’s so expensive,” he said. “We’re using our money to be the most efficient.”

The new track, which is comprised of crushed or recycled asphalt, will provide an outdoor place for the school’s physical education classes, track and field day and a place for the community to walk.

Miller said he hopes this leads to students no longer running in the streets.

raised more than $5,300 for the program.

“It’s been amazing to be a part of something that started as just an idea and has become a reality,” Hansen said. “I take pride in knowing I’ve been a part of something that people now look forward to every year.”

At the beginning of the San Diego conference, Hansen was brought up on stage and honored as a third-year Rising Stars member with an award certificate.

Presenter

On the second day of the conference, she was a presenter in the Rising Stars editorial session titled, “Today’s Newsroom.”

Lighted areas Lights will also be on the back side of the football lights, to illuminate the area for practice. This means it will be a lighted area for air ambulances to land, which will provide a safer location for first responders.

“My goal is to see a tremendous amount of use for it — athletics, student body, community,” Miller said.

This spring, there were approximately 60 students out for high school track at Murray and about half of that number in junior high.

Miller said he was appreciative from all the help from Jones, Oswald and track coach Keith Shields.

“It was imperative we get this done for our kids to have a safe environment to have a field to practice on,” he said.

While the new track can be practiced on now, more work still has to be done for the finishing touches in the summer.

They are waiting for hot weather to finish packing some areas.

School pride Miller reflected on the excitement students have had for the new track.

“We’re putting application into the real world,” he said. “I’m really proud of them because those kids have ownership of it.”

Hansen’s presentation was called “The Do’s and Don’t’s of Social Media,” and focused on the best way to engage and be appropriate on professional publication and personal social media accounts.

The other contributors in the “Today’s Newsroom” session were David Sickels, managing editor with “The Post” newspapers in Medina, Ohio, Kylah Strohte, regional advertising specialist/social media manager with the Exchange Publishing in Spokane, Washington, and Amanda Goossen, managing editor of the Arcadia News in Phoenix.

“It was wonderful to be a presenter during a conference session and provide insight to other industry professionals,” Hansen said. “I’m grateful to AFCP’s Rising Stars program for giving me the opportunity to be in so many leadership roles.”

Senate File 2323 — FY2017 Education Appropriations

By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

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

Senate File 2323 is the education budget bill for FY 2017.

The bill appropriates $1.0098 billion to the Board of Regents, Department of Education, College Student Aid Commission and other agencies.

The funding amount is an increase of $17.6 million over FY 2016. Much of the increase is because of the Child Development appropriation ($12.6 million) being shifted into this appropriation from Standings.

The additional increase was $4.9 million. Among the funding changes in the bill are: College Student Aid Commission • $526,233 increase for the Iowa Tuition Grant • $3,000,000 decrease for the National Guard Educational Assistance Program — The program has $2.5 million carry-forward from FY16 — combined with the FY17 appropriation this will meet expected need.

• $200,000 decrease for the Rural Nurse/PA Loan Repayment program — The remaining FY17 appropriation is expected meet demand.

Department of Education • $250,000 decrease for the DE’s Administration funding • $25,000 decrease for council

JOEL FRY

and commission support (zeroes out the line) • $1,500,000 decrease for Iowa Learning Online — this program receive $1.5 million for three years as agreed upon in 2013’s Education Reform initiative.

Community Colleges • $3,015,958 increase for the community colleges Board of Regents • $300,000 decrease for the Regents Board Office — the board supplements this appropriation by charging the universities.

• $6,299,000 increase for the universities • $1,300,000 increase for the University of Iowa (0.6 percent) • $2,218,000 increase for Iowa State University (1.2 percent) • $2,781,000 increase for the

University of Northern Iowa (2.9 percent) • $213,958 increase for the Iowa School for the Deaf • $89,205 increase for the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School In addition to the appropriations, the bill also contains a few policy provisions: • Delays the early literacy third grade retention policy and summer school requirement by one year.

• Delays the implementation of the Smarter Balanced Assessment for one year.

• Adds clarification language that teaching for three years as a shared visions teacher or head start teacher meets the mentoring and induction requirement for an initial teaching license.

• Allows preschool funding to be used for transportation expenses, an oversight from a bill passed last year.

• Adds a new fine arts mentoring program, which helps new fine arts teachers receive mentoring from experienced teachers, funded partially in this bill and with a one-to-one match by non-state funding.

While this is not the entire bill, it does include some of the highlights and changes that both the House and the Senate agreed to. As always, please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

BACK IN TIME Jail breaker back in cell

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society

Ralph Downs was serving a 90-day jail sentence for illegal possession of intoxicating liquor in Clarke County Jail.

He was arrested on a Monday morning about 6 a.m. after being at liberty about 20 hours following a daylight jail escape.

He escaped from the county jail through the coal chute on the north side of the building.

Because of the illness of Deputy Arzo Lane and the extreme cold weather, the prisoners had been allowed to fire the furnace themselves that week. The furnace didn’t adequately heat the building unless it was fired often.

The coal chute was thought to be secure. A heavy iron

stake had been driven into the ground outside the chute to keep it from being opened.

However, someone had lifted the stake from the outside.

The ally of Downs was never found.

The sheriff was notified about a half hour after Downs escaped by a person who had seen him. Local officers immediately got on his trail, but he was not to be found.

The sheriff went to Downs’ home on Monday morning about 6 o’clock and there found his man. He took Downs back to the jail where he was put in solitary confinement.

Another prisoner serving a nine-month sentence for bootlegging said, after breakfast, Downs went down to fix the fire, coming back up the stairs and going back down again.

He heard the coal chute bang but thought nothing of it.

When Downs didn’t come back up stairs, he went and found the coal chute open and the other prisoner gone. He remained in jail, and said when he left jail, he wanted to be clear and not have any charges hanging over him.

The rumor that circulated about Sunday in regard to Downs making away with some alcohol locked in the jail for evidence was entirely unfounded.

Downs went to his home about 4:30 a.m. with his wife who had been staying with her parents. When questioned, the jail breaker refused to tell where he had been on Sunday or who assisted him in his escape.

He had served more than a month of his 90-day sentence.

2016 John Wayne birthday celebration planned WINTERSET — While California lawmakers recently took a pass on designating May 26 as John Wayne Day, Iowans have have embraced their native son for decades. And no place more so than in his birthplace town of Winterset in historic Madison County.

Celebrating the iconic film star’s birthday as well as the first anniversary of the John Wayne Birthplace Museum, the community is pulling out all the stops on May 27 and 28 for a blowout that promises to exceed all past annual John Wayne Birth-

day Celebrations.

Drawing fans from literally around the world, this year’s event will include an all-horse street parade featuring mounted drill teams, saddle clubs, wagons and carriages and even the Wells Fargo stagecoach.

The weekend will kick off with an old fashioned barn dance at the Madison County Fairgrounds, and will include a 5-K run/walk, breakfast at the firehouse, mounted equestrian drill team performances, benefit dinner and auction and outdoor screening celebrating the 60th anniversary of

“The Searchers” starring John Wayne.

Fans of the John Wayne/Maureen O’Hara film classic “The Quiet Man” can attend the dedication of the iconic Irish jaunting car (or sidecar) which appeared throughout the 1952 Academy Award-winning motion picture.

On display at the John Wayne Birthplace Museum, this artifact was made available through the generosity of the late actress’s grandson, Conor FitzSimons.

“After visiting the birthplace of her life-long

Thank You

Thanks to everyone that came to my “Roast” I sure enjoyed the laughs. Also thanks for all the food,cards & contributions.

friend and co-star in 2013, my grandmother determined that this would be the ideal facility to exhibit this prized relic from her favorite film of all time,” FitzSimons said.

Another cherished family heirloom on display is O’Hara’s Connemara shawl, which appeared countless times throughout “The Quiet Man” and was kept in her home for many years after.

Eyes quickly filling with tears, Jeanne had dropped by her friend Sara’s place for help and a listening ear. Sara invited Jeanne in, quickly sent the kids out to play, and sat with her at the dining room table.

“I just don’t know what to do. They all say I should put him in a home, but ... ” Jeanne ran out of words, tears beginning to spill from her eyes onto the table.

Sally reached out and gently put her hand on Jeanne’s arm. “What does your heart say?”

Jeanne gathered her thoughts and explained. “Well, I’m not sick or anything, not having any trouble taking care of him, and I’d miss him. I mean, we’ve been together 53 years now. They tell me I should put him in a home so I can enjoy life. I don’t get that ...”

The tears flowed freely now, and Sara handed her a tissue.

Sara repeated, “What does your heart say?”

Jeanne looked up, a determined expression appearing instantly on her face. “It says no. How can I say to God every day for over 53 years when I pray that our lives are one, and then act like my life is more important than his?

How would that equal more enjoyment for me? I mean, where’s the ‘joy’ in that?”

Sara nodded. “I hear you. What I think you’re saying is that the laws of the heart – God’s way of living and caring – guides and rules your decisions. It’s like that Scripture we heard in worship yesterday. It went something like, ‘It’s not those who just hear God’s word, but those who hear and ACT according to it that are right with God’. Sound to me like you’re on the right track.”

A smile grew on Jeanne’s face as she heard her friend’s words. “You really think so? I kind of like what you said.

Laws of the heart. Hmmm, I remember when I was a kid, I memorized one of my favorite verses, and I’ve always tried to grow into it. It’s what God says in Jeremiah 31:33, and it goes like this: ‘I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they

shall be my people.’”

Soon Sara’s kids came in from the yard, and Jeanne got up to leave. To Jeanne’s surprise, Sara called her kids into the dining room. “Kids, can you help me pray for my friend?”

There was no hesitation.

The three kids dropped their toys and made a circle around Jeanne. They prayed for her heart to be strong, and for her to follow God’s “laws of the heart.”

Hugs were shared, and Jeanne left, feeling a strong peace she hadn’t know just an hour earlier. Yes, those Laws of the Heart were certainly mighty!

Romans 2:13 says this: God accepts those who obey his Law, but not those who simply hear it. (Contemporary English Version) Jeanne faced some tough decisions. She could have just as easily listened to the voices around her (many well-meaning) who encouraged her to “put him in a home so you can enjoy life.”

But, she decided to take time to pray and explore what she called the “laws of the heart.”

What would a “doer of the Law” decide? If, as one of her favorite Scriptures said, that Law was supposed to be more and more “written on her heart,” how should that fact guide her now?

We face tough decisions. Not all of us will face the one Jeanne did, but seasons of difficult decisions are part of living (and loving) in the world. Well meaning friends will offer advice.

Many choices will seem very tempting to us, especially in those times. As disciples of Christ, we are called to be not simply “hearers,” but “doers.” We are taught to put God’s laws of the heart into action, each day, in every circumstance, with each decision we make.
