Starting out Robins recalled getting started in the business years ago. She graduated from Southwestern Community College at the age of 20 with courses in various media. She had her degree in May, and by early October, her own studio.

Out of all the different types of media Robins learned about in school, photography spoke to her the most because she liked to work with people. Word of mouth has been a key to her success in the business.

“I like working with different groups of people, even though I might be doing the same thing over and over,” she said. “I’m still meeting new people all the time.”

It’s not just people Robins has worked one-on-one with, there have been many pets along the way, too.

Can you imagine starting your own business from scratch at the age of 20?

That’s what Chris Robins did.

“When you’re young, you don’t think you can fail,” Robins said. “If it wasn’t for my family and my friends and getting me started, that’s how I actually got started. I went to the bank, borrowed some money, and my folks went up to Des Moines. We got some camera equipment. I opened the doors and away we went.”

Robins has been doing photography for 35 years.

She currently owns Chris’ Photography on the north side of the square in Osceola.

Robins has been also selected as Clarke Area Arts Council’s featured artist with her photography being showcased at Lakeside Casino. Her photos are hung

South Central Cooperative helps to tell the story of sustainable farming, SUSTAIN platform HUMESTON — With an increased demand for land and water resources, farmers in southern Iowa know all too well the value of nutrient-rich and environmentally sound acreage.

With this idea in mind, South Central Cooperative has set out to show the impact of sustainability and to help farmers tell their own stories at one of the world’s most famous bike rides.

During the week of July 24-30, South Central Cooperative is hosting a one-day oasis site during RAGBRAI 2016 as a part of Land O’Lakes, Inc.’s Thanks2Farmers initiative.

A total of 87,500 farms with 30.5 million acres encompass the state of Iowa.

Seeing a need to bring awareness to both the agricultural industry and those behind it, South Central Cooperative and Land O’Lakes are proud to partner for this weeklong event.

“Agriculture touches almost every aspect of what goes on the dinner table at any given time. We believe in giving thanks to the farmers who make this happen,” said Brent Hall, agronomy manager for South Central Cooperative.

At the heart of this week will be the opportunity for RAGBRAI riders and local audiences to follow along with the initiative on social media. Users are encouraged to post pictures and publicly thank farmers over their social media channels using #Thanks2Farmers.

More than 8,500 official riders and upwards of 20,000 daily riders will also have the

opportunity to visit with local Iowa farmers and gain more insights into their stories, as well as South Central Cooperative’s SUSTAIN platform, while refreshing and refueling for the many miles ahead.

Since its beginning, South Central Cooperative’s SUSTAIN platform has helped a growing number of farmers use modern technology to track data and implement fertility practices that will lead to reduced runoff, new management strategies and increased yields with added profits.

“We are trying to lessen our impact on the environment without compromising our yields and profits.

We are seeing higher yields with reduced nitrogen all while helping the environment. This has been one of the most rewarding parts of being a part of this program,” Hall said.

As a farmer, Randy Miller sees the impact SUSTAIN is making on his operation.

“By split applying our nitrogen, we don’t have to put as much on the fields at one time and can apply nitrogen when we actually need it,” Miller said. “With the SUSTAIN program, we can manage our nitrogen for our particular soil, while before we were basing rates on last year’s yield numbers and outside research.”

To learn more about South Central Cooperative and Land O’Lakes’ Thanks2Farmers initiative, follow #Thanks2Farmers on social media during the week of July 24 -30.

New HIV diagnoses up 27 percent in Iowa Iowa Department of Public Health’s (IDPH) annual HIV Surveillance Report for 2015 finds there were 124 new HIV diagnoses last year, an increase of 27 percent from the 98 cases reported in 2014.

“This increase marks a return to the levels we saw in 2013, and is a reversal from the drop in cases from 2013 to 2014,” said IDPH HIV/ AIDS Surveillance coordinator Jerry Harms.

The reason for the increase in diagnoses is unclear; however, 2014 was the first year of full implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and it is possible fewer tests were performed that year because providers were dealing with the influx of new patients.

In 2015, providers may have been more prepared for the increase in patients, and were more likely to perform testing.

More detailed analyses indicate the largest decreases in 2014 and increases in 2015 occurred in private physician offices, hospital-based clinics, and community health centers (compared to public test sites, correctional settings and blood banks).

Established nationally in 2013, the HIV Care Continuum Initiative focuses on linking newly diagnosed individuals to care, retaining them in care and increasing the proportion of HIV-diagnosed individuals whose viral load (the amount of virus in their blood) is effectively suppressed.

Studies have shown viral suppression improves individual health outcomes and

may reduce the likelihood of transmitting HIV by up to 96 percent. Of the 2,367 diagnosed persons (both in and out of care) in Iowa, 76 percent were virally suppressed.

Nationally, an estimated 42 percent of persons diagnosed with HIV (both in and out of care) had attained viral suppression, so Iowa does well by comparison.

The number of deaths among HIV-infected persons diagnosed in Iowa continues to decrease since peaking at 103 deaths in 1995. Since 2000, the number of deaths has fluctuated from a low of 20 to a high of 44. Preliminary data indicate 20 HIV or AIDS-related Iowa deaths in 2015.

IDPH and its community partners are currently creating Iowa’s 2017-2021 Comprehensive HIV Plan, which will be released this fall.

LETTERS LETTER TO TOTHE THEEDITOR EDITOR

Fiscal year 2016 ends with revenue bump in June, but still lags behind REC projections

‘Mob mentality’

By Barbara Paulding Russell

Tuesday night’s theme at the Republican convention was “Make America Work Again.”

It would have been nice to hear even one specific policy that addressed job creation and stagnant wages. Instead, speaker after speaker spent their time ranting against Secretary Clinton.

Chris Christie spent his time “pros-

tough as kids, by far. They’re challenging,” she said. “I just like the challenge with people to get them to smile and to get them to look natural that way.”

Her tips include having a sense of humor and knowing how to make people feel comfortable around her.

Creating a fun experience also makes clients want to return and work with Robins again.

Film to digital Since opening Chris’ Photography in 1981, Robins has seen the art of photography evolve from film to digital. Film photography was a lot easier for her.

“All you did was you went and took the picture,” she said. “I’d drop my

ecuting” Secretary Clinton, inciting frenzied responses from the delegates. “GUILTY.” “GUILTY.” “LOCK HER UP.” “LOCK HER UP.” Do we really want to return to the mindless hatred and mob mentality of the Roman Coliseum?

Politicians who purposefully incite mindless hatred and frenzy do a disservice to our political process and demean our nation.

film in a little envelope, went out every night a 5 o’clock by the mailbox, dropped it in there. It went to the lab.

They processed it. I was done for the day.”

Now, digital photography has opened up a realm of endless possibilities.

Robins now spends more time on the computer enhancing, cropping and toning pictures, as well as getting them to the lab.

“Film was pretty easy. Whatever you shot in the camera, that’s what you got,” she said.

Photography is an art for Robins, and she considered herself lucky to be doing it for a living.

“Life’s too short to go through without liking your job,” she said, “and if you don’t like your job, to me, you’re not a very happy person. I have enjoyed my job. I love my job. I actually don’t think of it as a job. I just don’t. I want to go to work every day.”

By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

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

General fund revenue grew by $15.3 million or 2.5 percent in June, as compared to June 2015.

This growth puts FY 2016 general fund growth at 1.6 percent, once adjusted for legislative actions. That figure is slightly below the 2.2 percent adjusted forecast from the Revenue Estimating Conference’s March meeting. According to LSA, this equates to actual revenue falling $42.4 million short of the REC projection.

In the revenue categories, personal income tax collections were up just $4.2 million (1.3 percent) over the June 2015 figures. For the fiscal year, personal income tax revenue grew by 3.5 percent or $148.2 million.

This was below the 5.6 percent growth (+$234.9 million) the REC had projected when it revised its numbers in March.

Within the three subcategories, withholding payments grew 4.4 percent (+$142.3 million) during FY 2016 and estimate payments grew by 5.3 percent (+$25.7 million). Payments filed with income tax returns took a hit during FY 2016, falling by 4.3 percent (-$19.8 million).

Sales and use tax had been a concern since the start of FY 2016. The fiscal year ended on a

JOEL FRY

major upswing in this category, as collections were 14.7 percent higher than what was taken in during June 2015.

The $27.5 million increase in June helped move the overall FY 2016 figure to growth of 2.1 percent. This figure is above the revised REC estimate, which may be a good sign going into FY 2017. But the 2.1 percent growth is half of FY 2015’s sales and use tax growth of 4.2 percent.

Corporate income tax collections fell in June by 8.5 percent or $9.4 million when compared to June 2015. The drop was not unexpected, as corporate income tax last year finished FY 2015 very strong.

For the year, corporate collections were down 9.7 percent or $55.8 million. The decrease in revenue was actually less

than what the REC had projected in March, when they expected corporate income tax to fall by 12.6 percent in FY 2016.

Other revenue categories were positive for the fiscal year.

FY 2016 collections were higher in insurance premium tax (+9.2 percent), inheritance tax (+5.5 percent), franchise tax (+10.9 percent), state liquor profits (+3.6 percent), interest earned (+10.8 percent), and miscellaneous receipts (+7.6 percent).

Judicial revenue, which was expected to grow by $12 million in FY 2016, actually declined $2.2 million when compared to FY 2015.

Tax refunds were also higher for June. For the month, the state paid out $45.3 million in refunds. This was $6.9 million more than what the state paid in June 2015. For fiscal year 2016, refunds were up 5.8 percent over FY 2015, but that figure is lower than the REC projection of 6.5 percent growth in refunds.

While the calendar has come to a close on FY 2016, the books do not officially close until Aug. 30.

At that point, the state will have final figures for accrued revenue, transfers from the lottery and other areas of revenue for the year. Once that data is calculated, the final picture on FY 2016 will be developed.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your summer.

7 Sweet conclusion to season for Roadrunners

SPORTS

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Interstate 35 softball places fifth in Class 2A

“It was a great way to finish,” Bogs said. “We’re very proud of them.”

With the entire team back next season, the Roadrunners have high expectations already as they leave Fort Dodge this season.

“Oh my gosh, we’ve got them set high,” said junior pitcher Carlyn Stanley.

“Our ultimate goal is to have fun. The majority of us will be seniors. I’m excited for it.

“We want to get back to state.”

The Roadrunners ended their season with plenty of momentum behind it. Interstate 35 not only won its final two games, but played well in all phases.

“We did a lot of good things at the end of the year,” Bogs said. “We played our smartest. Those are good things.

“We have pretty high expectations.”

Experience gained this year throughout the season and in Fort Dodge will be a huge boost for the Roadrunners.

The Roadrunners completed this season having achieved many of their goals.

“We try not to put too much pressure on them,” Bogs said. “We don’t want them to say we’re coming back to state, but that was in the back of our mind.

Kate Stanley walked and Slye Richardson reached on a fielder’s choice ground ball, allowing Miller to score. Kate Stanley scored on an error. Richardson later scored on a wild pitch.

North Union tacked on a run in the fourth, but couldn’t come back.

The game was halted in the bottom of the fifth by the 90-minute time limit for consolation games.

Interstate 35 was all smiles, even with temperatures well into the 90s and the heat index announced at 106 at mid-afternoon.

ter.”

The Roadrunners edged top-ranked Durant 6-5 in their first game of the day Thursday.

Durant threatened in the bottom of the seventh.

The Wildcats had already scored two runs and had the bases loaded, with the winning run at second base when Carlyn Stanley induced a popout to Riley Morris at third base to end the threat.

Morris came up with a pair of defensive gems to keep the Roadrunners from further trouble. In the sixth, Durant already scored. The Wildcats had runners at second and third. Morris caught a soft liner, then stepped on third before the runner could get back to base to end the inning.

The late-game theatrics were nothing new for I-35.

“It’s not an I-35 game unless we’re doing something at the end,” Bogs said.

Morris was clutch in the sixth.

“Riley takes that line drive to end the inning otherwise we’re still playing,” Bogs said.

In the top of the seventh, Richardson singled and took second when Kate Stanley, who singled with one out, was thrown out trying to go from first to third.

Junior catcher Shai Major stepped in. She was miles in front of the first pitch she saw. Major regrouped. A couple of pitches later, she found one she liked.

The blast kept carrying, eventually over the left field fence for her first home run since her freshman year.

Major didn’t anticipate it going so far.

“It thought it was a popup, so that was a plus,” Major said. “It knew I hit it hard.”

The wind was blowing across from center towards left at around 15 miles per hour, knocking down many hard hit balls.

“When it went off, I thought it was over the kids’ head,” Bogs said.

“With that wind, there was some hard hit balls during the game. It carried.”

Those insurance runs were valuable.

“We backed it up,” Major said.

Interstate 35 players celebrate after placing fifth in Class 2A at the state softball tournament last week in Fort Dodge.

The Roadrunners did something unusual before the game, taking soft toss an hour prior to the start.

The extra cuts paid off.

“We were a little more relaxed,” Bogs said.

Picking up a win over Class 2A’s top-ranked team was a big boost to the team’s spirits after a disheartening 5-4 loss to Van Meter in Monday’s first round.

Carlyn Stanley mixed and matched her speeds effectively against a feisty Wildcats lineup.

“We were fortunate. One of the teams they (Durant) beat this year, I know the coach,” Bogs said. “He told me they’re aggressive.

If you change speeds on them, that will work.”

Carlyn Stanley allowed nine hits, walked three and struck out seven.

Both offenses took their time to get going, as neither scored in the first three innings.

Interstate 35 finally found pitches they liked against Jasmine Lawson in the fourth. Kate Stanley doubled with one out and scored on Richardson’s single. With two outs, Rich-

ardson scored on a passed ball. Cheyanne Loomis, running for Major who singled, scored on a Morris single.

Durant countered in the fifth, scoring twice on five hits.

The Roadrunners tacked on a run in the sixth. Wickett singled, stole second, took third on an error and scored on Sara Vodraska’s base hit.

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

“My enemies are the haters, and I will fight them with love!”

These words which I overheard during our recent trip to visit our amazing twin granddaughters in North Carolina have stuck with me as the barrage of hate-in-action news seems to continue without end.

These words were spoken by a boy of about age 12-13 to his friend as both were busy checking their phones. I had stepped away from the fun we were having at the natural science museum to answer a phone call and visit the restroom.

I nodded and smiled at them in passing. Then I stopped.

I couldn’t help asking (so I did), “So how do you fight with love?”

Both boys put their phones in their pockets (amazing, I know). One answered, “Well, you have to defend yourself without getting sucked into being a hater just like them.”

“That’s right,” the other boy added, “You’ve got to stay in the light, the real light – you know, like with Jesus and all – THAT light is way too powerful for haters to stand.”

We were on a roll now! The first boy continued, saying, “Yep, blind those haters with Jesus’ light!”

It can be so easy to get sucked in to hating thoughts, words and ways. Hatred is a powerful tool – of evil. Before you realize it, you’ve become a hater. Thoughts and words

OTTAWA

I’ve heard along these lines lately include, “We just need to wipe them off the map!” (whoever “them” is).

In the midst of all this, we need to remember who, and whose, we are – and are not.

We are not disciples of hatred and evil. We are disciples of Christ. We are called to love as He loves and to shine His light everywhere we go, and in every company we keep. Love is the post powerful weapon against hate there is. God IS love!

Here is a quote I shared in a recent message: The enemy is not a religion. It is not a government. It is not a nation.

It is not a skin color. It is not a people group. It is not a politician. When violence comes, HATRED is always the enemy. That is what we must fight. (John Pavlovitz) Here’s a pledge a Facebook friend made recently. Imagine the amazing difference that could be made in the world if more of us took this pledge: “I refuse to hate police officers. I refuse to hate black people. I refuse to hate gay people. I refuse to hate people. I refuse to hate.”

May more of us dedicate ourselves to living in HIS way, truth and light. Then we, like the boys I met that day, can say, “My enemies are the haters, and I will fight them with love!”
