Educators prepare to implement new statewide leadership program

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

In the most basic of terms, the Teacher Leadership Compensation System (TLCS) is teachers helping other teachers to help students.

That means, when it comes to education, they’re all in this together.

“One of the reasons it was created was to give teachers who wanted to be leaders an Bahls opportunity to do that without having to step out of the teacher role because, traditionally, the only way you could be a leader in a district is to become an admin,” said Jean Bahls, Clarke curriculum director/TLCS coordinator.

“And, there’s lots of teachers who don’t want to lose that tie to the classroom and kids and other teachers.”

What is TLCS? According to Iowa Depart-

ment of Education, TLCS rewards effective teachers with leadership opportunities and higher pay, attracts promising new teachers with competitive starting salaries and more support and fosters greater collaboration for all teachers to learn from each other.

The philosophy of the system is multi-pronged, but it essentially means improving student learning requires improving the instruction they receive each day. TLCS seeks to do this by empowering school districts’ best teachers to lead the effort.

Through the system, teacher leaders take on extra responsibilities, including helping colleagues analyze data and fine tune instructional strategies, as well as coaching and co-teaching.

Special coaches Each school has an agenda or goal to come up with what they think should be the positions in the TLCS program.

“We have tons of knowledge and expertise in our buildings. It’s true of every Please see TLCS, Page 4

Going out strong Mundy reflects on SWCC shooting team’s success before taking job at Grand View University

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

For Charlie Mundy’s last year as coach of Southwestern Community College’s (SWCC) shooting team, he wanted his team to go out on top.

The first year the team traveled to nationals, it placed 15th in the nation.

“Everybody’s like, ‘SWCC who?

What’s SWCC?’ They thought we were from the southwest, like from Arizona or something,” Mundy said. “So, when they found out we were from Iowa, I have a lot of pride in that.”

Mundy has taken a job with Grand View University in Des Moines to start a shooting team. He will start in the fall. This means he will also leave behind the high school’s carpentry trades program.

National competition SWCC’s shooting team didn’t disappoint in their

final year with Mundy as coach. They recently traveled to the national competition in San Antonio, Texas.

Last year, the team placed sixth in the nation in trap shooting. This year, the team placed seventh in the nation.

However, the team did improve its skills because the students hit seven more targets than the previous year.

SWCC was competing against teams from big universities such as Texas A&M, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and military academies like West Point.

Trenton Cheers shot 100 out of 100 during the competition. Mundy said only 12 students were able to accomplish this feat. That score put Cheers in the shoot-offs for a national title, but he was eliminated early in the rounds. Cheers

Farewell open house Southwestern Community College (SWCC) invites the community to say goodbye and thank you to Charlie Mundy. There will be a farewell open house noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 11, at Osceola SWCC Center.

Local student elected to the Iowa FCCLA State Executive Council DES MOINES — Clarke FCCLA Chapter from Clarke Community High School, along with over 500 members from FCCLA chapters across the state, attended the Iowa FCCLA State Leadership Conference April 3-5.

Clarke FCCLA Chapter member Trinity Miler attended the conference and was elected as a member of the Iowa FCCLA 2016-17 State Executive Council.

After completing an application in January, the candidates completed an interview with state staff and board of directors, and then gave a speech to the entire Iowa delegation about the leadership they would provide for the state association.

Miler was elected as the Iowa FCCLA Vice President of Finance. The State Executive Council is made up of eight FCCLA members across the state of Iowa who will be trained in professionalism, communication and teamwork.

Their duties will include creating a program of work, planning for statewide events and working to promote Iowa FCCLA. The State Executive Council’s Program of Work will be filled with planning, speaking, travelling, personal growth, and, of course, fun. Miler will represent Iowa FCCLA at the National Leadership Conference

in San Diego, California, this July. Congratulations to Miler as she will provide leadership to thousands of Iowa FCCLA members.

To raise money for Miler’s travel expenses, the Clarke FCCLA Chapter is hosting a powder puff football game Friday, May 13, at the high school football field. The game will start at 7 p.m. and the admission fee is $2 per person.

They will also host a fundraiser with Pizza Hut 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 17, with 20 percent of all regular priced items and tips will go toward Miler’s travel expenses for the conference.

FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America), formerly FHA, teaches students financial literacy, health and nutrition, career preparation and early childhood development skills through Family and Consumer Sciences education.

FCCLA is a unique organization because its programs are planned and run by student members. It is the only student-led organization with the family as its central focus.

FCCLA has more than 220,000 members and nearly 7,000 chapters in 50 state associations, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The organization has involved more than 10 million youths since it was founded in 1945.

came in ranked eighth in the country.

“So, we’re really excited for that … because he worked so hard in the off season,” Mundy said.

Shelby Woods and Emma Ludwig shot 95 out of 100 during the competition.

Cheers, Woods and Ludwig will now have the opportunity to apply for the Olympic training camp.

A new legacy Mundy said he is looking forward to building a shooting team at Grand

View “from scratch,” though he is going to miss his former students.

Another thing he is looking forward to is having his recruits be on the team for four or five years.

“I like seeing the students grow as people and as athletes,” Mundy said.

“Like Trenton, he has just been phenomenal. He was never on the radar.

Nobody knew who he was or anything. He just came out of nowhere because he’s worked real hard. And, he’s used the techniques that I hope I helped him with. Those are the things I hope I still get to have at Grand View.”

district,” Bahls said. “Now, we’re just very deliberately tapping into that and sharing that amongst colleagues.”

At Clarke, there are designated success, instructional and technology coaches, as well as the coordinator position.

“A success coach is all about helping kids and parents to keep kids on track,” said Brad Lampe, Clarke’s high school band director/instructional coach for seventh through 12th grade.

Funding Funding for the program comes from state grants, and it is specified to be used only toward the TLCS program.

According to Iowa Department of Education, Iowa General Assembly approved $50 million for the first year of implementation. In each subsequent year through 2016-17, anoth-

er $50 million will be added to the system for a total of $150 million per year.

As of March, all 333 Iowa school districts have been approved to implement a local teacher leadership system.

Prep period At Clarke, school officials are meeting on Wednesday nights to get prepared and make presentations for staff about the program’s implementation in the fall.

The group is trying to learn from other school districts, such as Johnston.

“We’re trying to create a culture of coaching where people are open and a lot of dialogue and discussions happen,” Lampe said. “This isn’t about evaluation. It’s about discussion and openness, trying to improve student learning and trying to improve the instruction that makes student learning happen.”

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

The Iowa Legislature concluded its work on Friday, April 29, after spending 110 days doing the work of Iowans.

This legislative session will be remembered as one that took Iowans’ priorities and turned them into realities by working together and finding common ground.

The highlights include: • Responsible Budgeting: For the sixth year in a row, the Iowa Legislature made a serious commitment to Iowans to not spend more than the state takes in.

• Increased Investment in Education: Support for K-12 education increased by $135 million, which accounts for 77 percent of the state’s new revenue.

• Certainty for Iowa Taxpayers: The House championed and insisted on legislation that gave taxpayers a seat at the table this session.The House pushed to prevent an unexpected $95 million tax increase on 177,000 Iowans and eliminated the unfair double tax on Iowa manufacturers.

• Continued efforts to com-

bat human trafficking: The House continued efforts to combat human trafficking in Iowa by establishing an office in the Department of Public Safety to oversee and coordinate efforts to combat human trafficking. Other efforts were passed that protect victims and penalize those who commit this horrific crime.

• Unprecedented Oversight for Medicaid: The House supported significant oversight efforts to monitor the state’s transition and ensure that consumers are protected, patient health and financial outcomes are monitored and transparent, and the integrity of our health care system remains.

• Sustainable funding for water quality: The House was able to find a long-term, dedicated source of funding for water quality projects across the state without raising taxes. While this did not become law, it has spurred an important conversation on how we can address improving our water and natural resources for future generations.

• Increased tax credit for adoption: In an effort to provide increased support to those families who have made a decision to adopt, the legislature doubled the one time per child adoption tax credit. It increased from $2,500 to $5,000.

Iowans work hard to earn their money and I take my responsibility to protect the taxpayers and families who trust us with their tax dollars very seriously. This session, we were able to give taxpayers a seat at the table while also following through on commitments that were made for education, health care, and public safety.

It has been another eventful year and I am blessed to be serving the constituents of House District 27! I hope you all have a wonderful summer and I look forward to visiting with you over the interim.

The first school in Iowa was in Lee County in 1830. In 1849, the first teacher’s institute was held and the first state normal school was opened.

However, anyone who knew a little about the subjects could teach and examinations were not required. Many had an eighth grade education and taught those only a little younger than themselves.

The Law of 1874 stated the county superintendent was required to hold a normal institute for the instruction of teachers and those desiring to teach. The $1 registration fee and $1 examination fee, plus the $50 from the state, offset the costs of the institute.

In the 1880s teacher certification requirements became mandatory.

Clarke County Normal Institute was held in 1898 in the high school building with 159 enrolled in the two week session in August following summer school. In the early 1900s, normal schools evolved into teacher’s colleges.

The compulsory education law passed in 1902, requiring children between the ages of

seven and 14 to attend school.

In 1905, teachers were paid $25 a month for a two or three month term of school.

Out of this allowance, they had to pay their board, clothing and transportation, perform janitor duties, attend summer or normal schools and find literature for the school.

Rules for teachers — 1872 1. Teachers each day will fill lamps, clean chimneys.

2. Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the daily session.

3. Make your pens carefully.

You whittle nibs to the individual taste of the pupils.

4. Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly.

5. After 10 hours in school, the teachers may spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books.

6. Women teachers who marry or engage in unseemly conduct will be dismissed.

7. Every teacher should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of this earnings for his benefit during his declining years so that he will not become a burden on society.

8. Any teacher who smokes,

uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intention, integrity and honesty.

9. The teacher who performs his labor faithfully and without fault for five years will be given an increase of 20 cents per week in his pay, providing the board of education approves.

1915 You must be home between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless attending a school function. You may not loiter downtown in any ice cream stores.

You may not travel beyond the city limits unless you have permission of the chairmen of the board.

You may not smoke cigarettes.

You may not under any circumstances dye your hair.

You may not dress in bright colors.

You may not ride in a carriage or automobile with any man unless he be your father or brother.

You must wear at least two petticoats.

Your dresses must not be any shorter than 2 inches above the ankles.

Dedication honors Murray athletic icons

URRAY — Most schools in Iowa have the six pillars of character from the Character Counts program posted on a wall, or hanging from the rafters.

In Murray, pillars of character are walking the sidelines and the bench areas of the school’s athletic facilities, and those local icons were honored Saturday in a ceremony dedicating those facilities in their names.

Danny Jensen, Jerry Shields, Keith Shields and Jerry Brown — the Mount Rushmore of Murray Mustangs athletics — were the guests of honor in a ceremony Saturday organized by Superintendent Alan Miller and the Murray Community School Board.

The event was held in the Jerry Brown Gymnasium in Murray High School, which was dedicated 10 years ago.

Miller said Brown was invited to be a part of the occasion in a “rededication” because his history in service to the school is so closely aligned to those gaining the new honors.

The newly-named facilities are the Danny Jensen Softball Field, the Keith Shields Football Field and the Jerry Shields Middle School Gym, which is the multipurpose room within the new school addition. Among other uses, it serves as a middle school practice gym and is available for games. Shields serves as the school’s athletic director as well as the head girls basketball and head volleyball

coach.

Keith Shields retired as head football coach two years ago, but has served as an assistant for coach Taylor Fulton since then.

Jensen will begin his 36th year as head softball coach at Murray this summer, and retired this year after more than three decades as a teacher and administrator in the district. He and former player Tessa Otto will continue as the softball coaching staff.

Miller and Denny Jeter, board president, were the primary speakers at Saturday’s event, with introductions by local pastor Brian McCracken, a school board member. Miller and Jeter lauded the many years of service and consistent excellence of the honorees’ programs (see related story). Miller noted that Jerry Shields was inducted into the Girls Basketball Hall of Fame this year, Jensen joined the Softball Hall

of Fame last summer and Brown became a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame in Iowa in 2002.

“To have three coaches before you who are in the Hall of Fame of their respective sport,” Miller told the audience, “well, I don’t know if there is another school our size in Iowa that can say that!

This is a special time in our community, and a special time for the people sitting up here, and their families. You cannot be a successful coach without the support of their families.”

Each of the three new honorees spoke of their admiration for Brown and his guidance as they were new staff members in Murray.

Likewise, Brown credited them for their dedication and loyalty to the Mustangs over the years.

“I’ll let others do most of the talking today,” Brown said, “but I do appreciate the three men being honored here today. I don’t think I

Patton hopes to return to All-America form

DES MOINES — Kate Patton and her Central Dutch teammates made a big statement here Friday at the Drake Relays.

Patton, who missed a large chunk of the indoor track season and part of the outdoor season with an injury, is finally rounding back into shape.

And it showed during Friday’s prelims of the College Division 4x400 relay.

Patton split a 58.7 on her third leg of the relay, as the Dutch ran 3:49.73 as a team.

That time ranks the Dutch fourth nationally in Division III and also fell just .02 seconds short of qualifying for Saturday’s finals in the event.

Oklahoma Baptist claimed the final qualifying spot with its time of 3:49.71.

“Honestly, this is the first A team we’ve ran all year,” Patton said about the 4x400 relay team. “Our anchor is hurt, too. We’re hoping to get big things out of her.

She’s just a freshman. Our goal was to run under 3:49, but nationally, we should rank pretty high up there.

Still gives us motivation to work hard in practice, too.”

Other relay members included seniors Ashlee Downs and Abigail Davis and freshman anchor Hope Heitman.

Being able to train with athletes the caliber of Downs and Davis has pushed Patton to become a better athlete on the track.

“I’m running with a seven-time All-American (Davis) and she’s really good.

Ashlee Downs, she graduated from Valley and I think she still holds the record in the 100 meters, so she’s really

good, too,” Patton said. “Just a great group of girls. They’re very supportive, motivating, everything a great teammate should be.”

Having that type of competition day in and day out is something Patton didn’t have at Murray High School, where she didn’t even have a track to train on.

It’s been beneficial for Patton in her sophomore season at Central College.

Coming off a freshman campaign that saw Patton reach All-American status, Patton had high hopes for her sophomore campaign.

After missing time with injury, things are starting to come around for Patton.

“I ran a 26.01, which is only .1 off my PR from last year,” she said. “I kind of know what to expect this year. Being an All-American last year, I’m just hungry to go back to nationals this year and do even better. We graduate two girls that are incredibly talented, so there’s a lot on the line this year.”

Patton also ran on Central College’s 4x100 relay at the Drake Relays on Friday, running the anchor leg. The team was disqualified for a handoff outside of the exchange zone between the second and third runners.

The Central College sophomore said she thinks the best is yet to come for her this season, with the team traveling to Monmouth (Illinois) this week, the IIAC Conference championships next week and then last chance qualifiers and nationals still on the horizon.

“We started tapering in practice and so we’re going to see that effect on the track,” Patton said. “I think big things are yet to come still.”

Patton said she will run the 4x100 and 4x400 at conference, in addition to running either the 400 meter dash or the 100 meter dash and 200 meter dash.

could have worked with a better crew than when I was working with them here.

I certainly couldn’t have worked in a better community.”

Danny Jensen

Jensen drew some laughter from the audience when he related the story of his parents helping him move to Murray in 1979, and remarks by his mother, who was in the audience Saturday.

“She said, ‘Danny Ray, are you sure you want to move to this little town? There’s no stores, and the streets aren’t very good.’ I said don’t worry, in three years I’ll be in the big time, and I won’t be here anymore.

“Well, mom, not a lot has changed in the town, but three and a half decades later we’re still here, and we love it!” Jensen said, smiling.

softball in Murray, in addition to assistant basketball and junior high football. He eventually settled on just softball in the summer, but became head football coach for several years and assistant boys basketball coach for Brown and successor Darin Wookey.

Jensen’s softball teams have won more than 700 games with a state tournament appearance in 2005 and three other regional finals, including last year.

Daughters Jennifer, Jocelyn and Julianna were with Jensen Saturday, as well as wife Dorothy, who has served as scorekeeper for more than 2,000 games at various levels in Murray softball.

While his daughters were members of the softball teams from 1997 through 2008, Murray went 353-110, averaging 29 wins a year. Jensen offered a few humorous antecdotes when “maybe we didn’t always see eye to eye.” Yet, they had fun being a part of Mustang softball together and look back fondly at the memories.

Jensen noted that he is coaching “second-generation Mustangs” now, as daughters of players from his early years. He’s proud that during Murray’s state tournament appearance in 2005, the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union reported that day’s crowd set an attendance record for a Class 1A session at the state tournament.

Likewise, the largest 8-Man football session to date at the UNI-Dome was recorded at Murray’s first semifinal appearance in 2011.

Jensen had to take a moment to compose his emotions as he spoke of that support and his love of the program.

“Our people love to support our teams,” Jensen said, pausing. “I hope the next person takes pride in Murray softball and will continue the tradition that Murray softball is fun. Thank you.”

Miller said visions of Jensen running from third to home, windmilling his arm to wave a runner home, are etched in his memory.

“Danny has coached about everything here, he’s officiated volleyball, driven the bus,

been a teacher and principal and mentor to the students,” Miller said. “He has endured the tough seasons and the great seasons with the same amount of enthusiasm and respect for his players. He’s built a successful program based on what’s given to him, in a positive, meaningful way.”

Keith Shields

Likewise, Keith Shields spoke of the many years that Steve Baker served as defensive coordinator and Jensen was special teams coordinator as he was beginning his tenure as Mustang football coach.

Jensen’s personality was a healthy presence.

“Coach Jensen likes to win as much as anyone,” Shields said. “But he also has a way of keeping things light and reminding us all that it’s a game. He always brought excitement and enthusiasm to the team. The friendships and relationships in our coaching fraternity in Murray has always been special.”

Shields recounted many special memories of Murray football, highlighted by the playoff runs of 2011 and 2012 that resulted in a state runner-up finish and semifinal appearance that included a 78-76 overtime loss to Gilbertville Don Bosco — the highest scoring playoff game in Iowa high school history.

Those were the first trips to the UNI-Dome for Murray football, and Shields said the fan following to Cedar Falls was unforgettable. Many of those players were in attendance Saturday as Shields spoke of their accomplishments, including a revenge victory at Adair-Casey in the playoffs to earn a semifinal berth.

He said that run started with a disappointing 50-0 playoff loss at Grandview Park Baptist in 2010.

“After that game, our guys said next season starts on Monday,” Shields said. “I think it set the motivation for our next three years.”

In 2013, he said the rest of the team was all proud as Andrew Rider set a national record with his 12th punt return for a touchdown that season in a late-season game at Lamoni, his hometown.

“His teammates were all a part of it, and probably more

excited about it than Andrew,” Shields said.

The son of a high school football coach, Shields retired as head coach when he was just five wins shy of 100 career victories. Miller noted Shields’ integrity in deciding to devote more time to his family, which includes daughters busy in school activities.

“As coaches you don’t get into the profession for this type of recognition,” Shields said Saturday. “And, it doesn’t happen unless you’ve had good people around you.

You don’t get recognition like this without the players, so thank you to them and all the families who had a part in it. This honor today, it is only happening because of the hard work of the coaches, players and families and the support of Mustang Nation.”

Jerry Shields

Jerry Shields is literally a jack-of-all-trades for Murray athletics. Besides serving as head coach for two varsity sports — with 308 wins in basketball and 294 in volleyball with four total regional final appearances — Shields is athletic director for the high school and the middle school sports, has driven the bus to many of those games, organizes team transportation and paints the lines on the football field before home games. He also serves as public address announcer to introduce teams in the gym, and serves as volunteer statistician for the football team.

Miller said he collaborated closely with Shields in the design of the new multipurpose room, which will serve athletics at various levels. A former coach as well as an administrator, Miller said he admires the work Shields does behind the scenes to make Murray athletics successful.

Jeter concurred, saying he often hears positive feedback from officials who have been hired by Shields to work at Murray home games.

“Jerry and I have worked together as administrator and athletic director, and I’ve seen how he works with all of the

coaches,” Miller said. “Jerry does so many things for our programs. It’s a great honor for me to name that new addition after Jerry, because he’s been vital to our success on so many levels.”

Like the others, Shields spoke fondly of memories of his Mustang teams, highlighted by coaching experiences with his daughters. Tori Braby is now head coach at Mount Ayr, coming off its most successful season in school history, and Kristin will join her father for a second season in volleyball this fall. Shields also noted the contributions of longtime volleyball and basketball assistant coach Chris Robins, who is also an active photographer of Mustang events.

For many years, Shields was girls basketball coach on team trips along with the boys team coached by Brown. Years earlier, he coached against his future mentor as boys coach at Grand Valley, noting that he was able to beat Brown’s teams “only once.”

“Coach Brown has given me a lot of good suggestions on bus rides, going to games,” Shields said. “Or, talking after games. He’s been a great inspiration to me.”

Shields also turned toward the other honorees Saturday, noting their close relationship as a staff.

“Great bunch of guys to be around,” Shields said. “All the coaches we have, they’re great people, willing to do anything for the kids.

“Likewise for the former players, many that I see here today,” Shields continued.

“They are the ones that made the difference, with the hard work they put out on the floor. It’s not just about the wins and losses. It’s about working to become a better person. I hope coach Robins and I have been able to provide them with that, especially those who have gone on to be coaches themselves.”

All of the recipients were presented custom plaques from the old gym bleachers that included inscriptions on designs of the Murray facility

“I told my wife shortly after being hired here, the culture and climate of this community is among the best in the state of Iowa,” Miller said. “Why is Murray so successful? Just look at the coaches and how long they’ve been here, and how they’ve trained others who are coming up. They’ve passed on their knowledge, wisdom and expertise. So many people today become successful and then move on to bigger things. We’re very fortunate to have had the people we are honoring here today.”

“These plaques are just absolutely tremendous. Being from the old gymnasium bleachers, that just makes it that much more special.

Finding faith at Ground Zero

By Chuck DeVos

Lead Pastor LifePoint Church

Millions of people have visited Ground Zero in New York City, and many of them come with questions like, “How could people do such horrible things?” or, “Why is there such evil in the world?”

And inevitably, they ask the question “Where was God, and why didn’t He stop this?” Of all the questions that people have about God, this is probably the biggest.

Ground Zero has come to represent that moment of national anguish, when the world stood watching as our nation was horrified by that attack.

But for a moment, I want you to think of Ground Zero as that moment in your life when you hit the lowest place, when you experienced the deepest anguish you’ve ever experienced.

When that moment comes, what do you do? Where do you turn? Your ground zero can be a stumbling block, or, it can become a stepping stone to finding faith.

When we reach ground zero, we search for answers. We begin to ask questions: Why am I suffering? Why did this happen? Why is my world the way it is? I need an answer!

We think that if we can find an answer, that we also find a solution. Pain forces us to admit that we’re not in control, that we don’t have all the answers and that we can’t fix everything.

God designed this world to lead people to a search for the truth, and the Bible explains why. Here’s what it says: God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. (Acts 17:24-27, NIV) God did all of this so that we would seek Him, reach out to Him. People have the idea that God abandons us in our pain, but it’s just the opposite.

God doesn’t cause our pain or suffering, but when we’re suffering, when the people we love and care for are suffering, He is present. And He calls to us in the midst of our pain because the reality is, answers can only be found in

Him. Rebecca Alonzo wrote a New York Times best seller titled, “The Devil in Pew Number Seven.” It’s the story of a man entering her home and shooting her parents when she was 7 years old.

That’s a ground zero moment. But, Rebecca didn’t turn away from God. Instead, she turned to Him. She said, “I needed God more than I needed to be mad at Him.” She intuitively knew that God was not the source of her pain, but the healer of it.

She went on to say, “He hasn’t answered all of my questions but He has healed me from the consequences of my pain.”

People are on a journey looking for answers. Maybe you’re on that journey right now. Here’s what you need to know: Jesus is the healer of our pain. Here’s what He said at the beginning of His ministry: “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;” (Luke 4:18, NKJV) Jesus came to heal the broken hearted — to heal us in our ground zero moments. I can’t tell you how it works.

There is no formula. There is no secret sauce. There is no step A, step B, step C. All I can tell you is that when you connect with Jesus the healer and you spend time with Him, He knows where you’ve been and He knows your pain and He knows your hurt and He heals the brokenness of your broken heart.

That’s how you find faith at ground zero. I wish there would never be another ground zero moment for any of us, but there will. And when it comes, open your heart and let Jesus begin the healing process.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Osceola student named 2016 Stars Over Iowa winner in ag production AMES — Four Star Over Iowa winners were selected in four different areas: Agricultural placement, agriscience, agribusiness and agricultural production.

The finalists were selected from a pool of 693 FFA members who will earn the Iowa FFA Degree — the highest honor the Iowa FFA Association can bestow upon an FFA member.

The star awards recognize students who have developed outstanding agricultural skills and competencies through their career development programs and demonstrated outstanding management skills.

These finalists were interviewed and their SAE record books reviewed by a panel of judges.

The 2016 Stars Over Iowa winners were announced at the 88th Iowa FFA State

Leadership Conference at Hilton Coliseum April 19.

Kaitlyn Boyer of the Osceola Big Chief FFA Chapter is the Star in Ag Production winner. Her SAE focuses on raising high quality registered Limousin cattle from pasture to plate.

At the age of 11, she purchased her first Limousin heifer and has now grown her herd to 32 head. She strives to meet the demands of a niche market for natural beef.

Boyer’s market cattle are used in her family’s beef stick business. She sells the beef sticks directly to the public at the Harvest Barn and Des Moines Farmer’s Market.

Her breeding stock are sold at the Iowa Beef Expo, as well as private treaty sales. She analyzes EPDs and utilizes embryo transfer

along with other advanced reproductive practices.

Managing the farm website, Facebook page and creating advertisements are all important aspects of Boyer’s SAE. She also advocates for the beef industry by speaking at events like Iowa Cattlemen’s Convention.

Boyer has served as a south central district officer and has competed at state for job interview.

After graduation, she plans to attend Iowa State University with a major in animal science and later work towards a master’s degree in business.

Boyer is the daughter of Jason and Amy Boyer. Her chapter advisor is Brandi Boyd. Her high school principal is Shane Stephens and superintendent is Steve Seid.

AMES – Iowa FFA Association is a youth organization of more than 14,800 student members as part of 226 local FFA chapters across Iowa.

The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Iowa FFA Secretary’s Book Leadership Event was held at Iowa State University in Ames Monday,

and spring board for their journey as our Chapter Secretary,” Severns said.

The secretary’s book CDE requires the chapter secretary to keep complete and accurate records of the chapter’s activities.

Chapter secretaries must include the chapter FFA roster, meeting agendas, meeting minutes, committee reports, and copies of all chapter correspondence.

The Iowa FFA secretary’s book CDE was made possible with support from the Iowa FFA Foundation.

April 18.

The top 12 chapters from around the state competed for the coveted gold metal placing.

Osceola FFA chapter was excited as Rachel Severns was announced as the second place winner for this contest.

“Standing on stage, in front of thousands of people, representing my chapter with the first secretary’s book to place at state, was a truly amazing feeling. I cannot wait to see future secretaries use this as a resource
