He 2019, at Unity Point was 84 years old.

Jim was born on Methodist Hospital, Des Moines, Iowa, September 28, 1935, in

Leon, Iowa to his parents, James (Burnham) and Thelma Silsby. His mother told the story of his difficult birth and the prayers of his father for her relief, and he was born, a perfect and beautiful baby. He joined his sister, Junia Clare, and later they welcomed baby sister, Margaret, to their family. He grew up in a loving community, Lamoni, Iowa, where he was raised in the Community of Christ Church (RLDS -Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints).

He was gifted with a beautiful tenor voice, and would often sing in church and in the community. His grandfather, J. Arthur Lane, had a General Store.

His father was the Lamoni Postmaster and his mother was the church organist and taught piano lessons out of the home. He helped his father on the family farm and told stories of mowing the public parks, the yards and pastures throughout town with his horse, Dixie, pulling a horsedrawn mower.

Jim loved the farm-life, his family and friends. He never knew a stranger, always wore a smile, could start up a conversation with anyone, and had a great sense of humor.

Jim attended and graduated from Lamoni Schools, and then attended and graduated from Graceland College in 1955, where he was active in band (trumpet), choir, drama, and sports. Following his graduation, he traveled throughout the United States. His adventures included service in the US Navy, and work out west where he met and fell in love with Helen Hawks. They married in 1957, and made their first home in Imbler, Oregon. They moved back to Iowa in 1959, where their five children were born. They spent many happy times with family gatherings at the Grandparent Silsby’s Lamoni home, with holidays, caroling, parades, ponies, and summers on the farm.

Jim joined the Ames Police Force as an officer and later returned to school to

study auto mechanics.

His hobbies included building and racing stock cars. He owned and operated his own business, Ames Auto Clinic, and became an Auto Mechanics Tech Instructor at Creston Community College, Creston, Iowa and Blue Mountain Community College, Pendleton, Oregon. He moved his family out west, where he loved the mountains, hunting, his horses, rodeos, and parades. He bought a farm in the Blue Mountains, outside Weston, Oregon, he called GoldenGreen Acres. He was choir director at the local Community Church where he was active in the music ministry, and his daughter, Debbie, began singing for church and community events.

Jim divorced in 1972, and later married Diane Nims in 1974, whom he met while attending Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. Shortly after, he moved back to Lamoni to work the family farm. He divorced and not one to give up on love, he was remarried to an old school friend, Rose Marie Kaler, in 1981, becoming step-dad to her children, Barbara and Raymond.

Jim returned to Graceland College, completing his BA in Elementary Education in 1983, and taught for the Mormon Trail School District, where Rose Marie also taught kindergarten. Jim volunteered to help young people in the community, where he met a young man he and Rose adopted, Jeffrey, in 1987. Rose passed away after a long battle with colon cancer, in 1994. After grieving her passing, Jim was married for a time to Nancy Lee Smith.

Jim loved building things and putting them together. He worked for many years for Steve Anders Crane Service, Lamoni, Iowa, where many structures are up and in place from his steady hand at the controls: The historic Lamoni High School Name Stone, taken down and salvaged to be included in the new school de-

“Quality Home Care for Southern Iowa”

in November 2019, he decided quality of life was much more important than quantity of life. Prior to his passing, he enjoyed reconnecting with family and dear ones. He stayed a time with his daughter, Patricia, during an earlier convalescence. His step-daughter, Barb (Roger) Kerns, and her family brought many happy times with family get togethers and outings during his last days.

May God bless him and welcome him into his Heavenly gates. Jim will surely be the angel watching over us all, pulling a prank or two along the way, with a great big smile.

Jim is survived by his children, daughter Deborah (Richard) Pimentel, of Nampa, Idaho, son James (Lorrie) Silsby of Boise, Idaho, son Terry Silsby of Meridian, Idaho, son Christopher Silsby of Corvallis, Oregon, daughter Patricia Richter of Meridian, Idaho, step-daughter Barb (Roger) Kerns of Lamoni, Iowa, stepson Raymond (Brigit) Kaler of Snohomish, Washington and Jeffrey Silsby of Des Moines, Iowa; sister Junia Clare Braby; brother-in-law, Dr. Howard Braby; sister, Margaret Grice; 25 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and friends. His is preceded in death by his wife, Rose Marie; his mother, Thelma; and father, James (Burnham); and brother-inlaw, William Grice.

Mr. Silsby was cremated and the interment will be at Rose Hill Cemetery, following a Celebration of Life service, to be scheduled for the summer 2020, and announced at a later time. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Mr. Silsby’s life. In lieu of flowers the family is asking for donations to the Lamoni School District for a fund in Mr. Silsby’s name, to benefit learning programs for children, a way for him to give back to the community he so dearly loved.

Thank You!

sign, the Graceland University pedestrian bridge, Lamoni Elevator repairs, and business signages to name a few. During years of drought, in the 80s, he and his son, Terry traveled the Midwest with a pumping/irrigation business, helping bring water to distressed farms. His son, Jim, lived with him his senior year, graduating from Lamoni High and attending Graceland College. His daughter, Debbie, also loved the farm and lived there while attending Graceland.

Jim was an Oregon Trail enthusiast. He had a team of mules and a wagon, which he built from some original parts with the help of his Amish friends. As Wagon Master of the Oxbow Company, he took his mules, wagon and grandson, Joshua, for an experience of a lifetime, an Oregon Trail re-enactment in 1997, traveling 97 days, all the way from Council Bluffs, Iowa to This is the Place State Park, Utah.

Jim always dreamed of having a cabin out west, and in 2006, he sold his farm and moved to Baker City, Oregon, making this come true, where he could live closer to his children. He participated in community events, such as Oregon Trail re-enactments, Miners Day parades, and became a local celebrity, sharing his love of Oregon Trail history.

Jim will long be remembered as someone who had spontaneous enthusiasm and passion for each day, excited for every new thing he could learn.

He worked hard every day of his life, persevering and overcoming debilitating, chronic pain from past work injuries and multiple surgeries.

He was always trying to do better and be better.

His legacy includes his children, whom all have made him so proud and he loved so much.

He gave them his music, his zest for life, his unconditional love and acceptance with faith that there is goodness in every one.

Following a trip to the Mayo Clinic, with his daughter, Debbie,

Thank You We do not have the words to say how much we appreciate the kindness that you have each shown us after Dale’s passing.

We have been humbled by PRAYERS, calls, flowers, cards, food, donations to the memorial fund, HUGS, Richard and Connie for all their help, Max and Ron for a great service, (Dale would have been pleased), the ladies from New Salem Baptist Church, Calvary Baptist Church and the community of Decatur for the great lunch and so much more. We are truly blessed to live in this community.

LINDA BOOTHE Snowed on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th…. count is down to 18 snows-to-go. I got stuck in my own driveway and this kind neighbor came to my rescue.

There was probably 4 inches of ice under the snow. I would have never gotten it cleaned off on my own so I’m very appreciative of your help, Chris Stoll. So, my message to Mother Nature is that I received your free sample of winter and I would like to cancel the remainder of my subscription.

Thank You! As I have mentioned before, the DC City Council has plans to reroof the Union Brick Church in the spring. I received 3 additional donations this week from James and Carolin Burrell of Norco, CA, Paul and Marian Burrell of Aurora, CO, and Dr. Robert and Cecilia Burrell of Denver, CO, and I want to express how grateful the Council is for these contributions to continue with the restoration of the church.

The Burrell family history goes back to the 1850’s when Burrell Township was created.

It was named for County Commissioner, Asa Burrell. The streams of Elk Creek and Potteroff Creek run through this township. Decatur County was named for Stephen Decatur, Jr, who was a hero in the War of 1812.

The township in Decatur County, Iowa, has 5 cemeteries: Bucy, Davis City, Gore, Miller and Terre Haute. The

parks in Burrell Township include the Slip Bluff County Park and the Morman Trail State Historical Marker.

The cold temps and knee high snow drifts haven’t slowed down the enthusiastic political campaigners.

I’ve had several at my door and admire all of them for their enthusiasm. Everyone is amped up for the Feb 3rd Caucuses and the race is on…..

Melvin Gray, McCayla Evans, Missy Boothe, Chris Boothe, Robert Walker, Ashley Purdun, Connie Benedict and Teresa Stoll will all celebrate birthdays this week. Give them a ’Shout Out’ for their special day.

Got news? Please share! Need to rent the DC Community Center? Do you want to add your family to our birthday calendar?

You can do all this with one simple phone call to 442-3595. Later…..

In their place; approximately 20 trees will be planted. The trees being removed are in various stages of the end of their life span and it has been decided that removing them now would be the easiest thing to do. All trees have been placed by the side of the road and anyone that would like them for firewood is welcome to come and get them! First come first serve and as of today there was still a lot of good wood there.

Dinners coming up at the Community Center will be Friday, January 31st maid rites, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and jello cake. To order or for questions, please call 773-5436.

Also the next teen event is February 1st, Saturday 7 PM there will games, snacks and more. This is for Grand River teens only-please make sure your teenager knows they are welcome! These events are free and are held at the community center.

Depression Can Be A Heartbreaker

Being diagnosed with heart disease or another chronic health condition can take its

toll mentally. Decatur County Hospital Senior Life Solutions is here to help. During the month of February, American Heart Month, Decatur County Hospital Senior Life Solutions is working to raise awareness of the connection between heart health and emotional health.

In 1964, February was declared American Heart Month to help bring awareness to the number one killer of both men and women in America, heart disease. Heart related health concerns come with many physical symptoms ranging from chest pain or discomfort to shortness of breath; however, cardiac patients often experience depression after a heart attack, cardiac surgery, recent diagnosis of heart disease, or recent hospitalization. According to the Cleveland Clinic, up to 15 percent of patients with cardiovascular disease and up to 20 percent of patients who have undergone bypass surgery experience major depression.

Senior Life Solutions is an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed to meet the unique needs of individuals struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety, stress from age-related health concerns, or difficult life transitions such as the loss of a loved one.

Individuals may benefit from Senior Life Solutions if they are experiencing any of the following common indicators or triggers of depression and anxiety: • Recently experienced a traumatic event • Lost a spouse or close family member • Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities • Changes in appetite • Difficulty sleeping • Loss of energy • Feelings of sadness or grief lasting more than two weeks • Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness Following an individual assessment, patients meet up to three times per week in a supportive, encouraging group setting. The program staff includes a board-certified psychiatrist, licensed social workers, a registered nurse, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to the emotional well-being of the seniors in our community.

Rosie Mitchell, LMSW said, “Focusing on positive feelings and gratitude correlate to better moods and less fatigue and inflammation, reducing the risk of heart failure. Shallow breathing from stress and anxiety can lead to low oxygen levels, negatively affecting your organs and tissues.

Relaxation techniques have been shown to reduce stress hormones,

which may also be a contributing factor to heart disease” Temporary feelings of sadness are normal for patients recovering from recent heart surgery, heart attack, or another heart or chronic health condition. If severe feelings of sadness or low mood continue for more than two weeks or result in withdrawal from activities or increased negative thoughts, it is time to seek help. For more information, call the Decatur County Hospital Senior Life Solutions at (641) 446-2320, or visit http://www.decaturcounty hospital. org/sls.

by Irish Johansen, River Murders and Lost by James Patterson, Moral Compass by Danielle Steel, and Treason by Stuart Woods. New to the children's collection from our Giving Tree participants: Pig the Pug, Toby's Story (a Dog's Purpose novel), There was an Old Astronaut Who Swallowed the Moon, Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party, Pete the Cat's Trip to the Supermarket, Llama Llama Gram and Grandpa, Llama Llama Home with Mama, Diary of a Wimpy Kid #14: Wrecking Ball, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, and I Survived the Great Molasses Flood of 1919.

Also just added to the children's collection: Patrick Mahomes, (an upper elementary level biography,) Eleanor Roosevelt Champions Women's Rights, and The Adventures of Samuel Oliver series.

Looking for your next great read? The following are reviews from volunteer, Kate Ortiz.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris is a novel based on the true recollections of Lale Sokolov.

While the descriptions of the horrors of the Nazi death camps are difficult to absorb, I believe it is important to know them and thus keep alive the memory of those who suffered.

Surprisingly, this story is centered on love; the love between Lale and his eventual wife Gita, and the love shared by many people who helped each other survive and later thrive.

This story is a reminder that the best in each of us can be called forward if we have the love and courage to find it.

Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport is a quick read filled with interesting science (and I’m not a person who generally reads science) about the importance of actual human interaction and how digital devices change the brains of people who overuse them. I highly recommend this book to parents of young children as they make technology decisions.

It also caused me to think more deliberately about how I use, and sometimes misuse, the technology in my life.

game, 55-55.

Quick hands Hewlett stole the ball right out of the post players hands then dribbled the floor before dishing off to Boothe.

Tyke Hullinger followed the lead with a basket along with Pedersen adding one from the line, 60-55.

Returning from a Cardinal time-out, Hewlett did his job driving into the lane before dishing to Pedersen for the hoop.

With 2:13 remaining on the clock, the Bulldogs answered back by attacking the basket and pulling the fifth foul on Pedersen, making both baskets good, 62-59.

After burning about 90 seconds off the clock, the Cardinals were taken to the line multiple times executing some key points.

On a loose ball, with Boothe grabbing it and the attempt to call a Cardinal timeout, a foul was called with Trey Hullinger executing both shots from the line. During this same play, a technical foul was called against the Bulldogs with Evertsen adding another point.

With the Cardinals receiving possession of the ball, a Bulldog foul sent Tyke Hullinger to the line adding another point, 66-59.

The Cardinals were in complete control with the lead the Bulldogs had no choice but to foul, sending Boothe to the line taking advantage of both.

The Bulldogs were then taken to the line twice making only 1 point each time, 68-61.

With 27.7 seconds on the clock, the Cardinals were still in a good situation with a minimum 2 possession game but the Bulldogs were not giving up.

The Bulldogs grabbed the rebound on the free throw attempt by Hewlett and were quick to execute a 3 point shot while pulling the foul, but were unable to deliver the

extra point, 68-64.

The Cardinals continued to do their job.

With 15.2 seconds remaining, Boothe was taken to the line delivering both points.

Ten seconds later, Evertsen was taken to the line executing both shots.

The Bulldogs gave it a fight to the end adding another shot from behind the arc but still fell short. The Cardinals won 72-69.

"We got off to a slow start but did a good job of hanging in through their run and answering with a run of our own," stated Coach Zach Clark. "We did a good job on offense of moving the ball and getting each other open which led to good looks for the guys. We had some scary moments, but were able to recover and put the game away in the last minute."

"This was a great win on the road as Bedford is a tough place to play. It was also fun to be a part of the moment at the beginning of the game and to help Tristan get his first basket!"

Boothe and Trey Hullinger lead the scoring with 16 and 15, respectively, followed by Evertsen and Pedersen with 14 a piece, Kernen 5 and Hewlett and Tyke Hullinger 4 a piece.

Evertsen and Pedersen lead with 7 rebounds a piece joined

by Boothe with 6, Trey Hullinger 4, Hewlett 3, and Tyke Hullinger 2.

Hewlett lead with 8 assists along with Boothe with 5, Evertsen and Trey Hullinger 3 a piece, and Pedersen and Tyke Hullinger 2 each.

Trey Hullinger and Boothe recorded 2 steals each and Pedersen 1.

Pedersen recorded the solo block.

The Cardinals won another nail-biter conference battle against Nodaway Valley, 54-48.

"Districts came out Friday afternoon, so we knew this would be a big game for seeding purposes. After a back and forth first half, we really took control in the 3rd quarter by pounding the ball inside to Cole Pedersen," stated Coach Clark.

"We were worried about their outside shooting but did a pretty good job of contesting shooters and held them to around 30% on the night."

"They had one player get hot but the others we contained.

We knew they wouldn't give up and we would be in a dog fight in the 4th quarter. Thankfully, we were able to make some big free throws down the stretch and get some big stops.

This was a good week of big conference road wins that will help our standing in the conference and will help with seeding within the district."

Pedersen lead with 24 points joined

by Hewlett with 12, Boothe 8, Evertsen 5, Trey Hullinger 3 and Tyke Hullinger 2.

Masters and River Hamaker finished out the scoring with 2 and 1 from the charity stripe, respectively.

Dale, Masters and Carson Bethards were quick on defense each grabbing a steal. Cardinals won, 49-14.

"We came out on fire in the first quarter," stated Coach Curtis Boothe. "I thought it was one of our better quarters of the year.

Our press was very effective and we were moving the ball to get the best shot."

The Cardinals had a disappointing 71-52 conference loss against Nodaway Valley.

"It was a rough first half. There wasn't much we did right," stated Coach Boothe.

"I thought our third quarter was better, and we played a pretty even second half. We need to be able to play 4 quarters to win games. With a 4 game week coming up, we will need to step up and make some corrections."

Bell lead the scoring with 18 points joined by Applegate with 10, Hamilton 8, Masters 7, Dykes 3, Dale and Hamaker 2 each and Saxton and Rockhold 1 a piece.

Rodger’s Recollections

by Rodger Gatton I’m not sure why, but I can recall almost exactly where I was standing, on the drive at Hanoco Oil Company, the first time I saw Donnie Ivins.

I was barely a teenager, but Burbank Halstead hired me to pump gas and wash windshields. I believe he had stopped for some eats at the Hanoco Cafe, and I didn’t have to pump any gas for him that day.

I remember thinking what a handsome guy he was; well-groomed, clean shaven, with his dark curly hair neatly trimmed, and he wore nice clothes. He smoked cigarettes, but overall, he looked a cut above your average trucker in those days. I’ve since learned Donnie sometimes had a mean and nasty side, so I consider myself lucky to have seen only the happy go-lucky and fun-loving side of him, both then and later.

The children of Pete and Lois Jean Hanthorn were our schoolmates.

Ivan was in my class, Judy and my sister were classmates; Cindy was a few years younger.

When we were little kids, we weren’t too good at figuring out relationships.

We were lucky to understand how our own aunts and uncles were related to our moms and dads. By the time I was in junior high, it was easier. I was then able to understand that Donnie Ivins was

a brother to Lois Jean Hanthorn, and so he was “Uncle Donnie” to the Hanthorn kids.

Both Ivan and Judy remember a lot of good family times with Donnie and the rest of the family, especially Sunday dinners with their grandparents, Glen and Rita Ivins, where one course of the meal was usually wild game, likely taken from their own farm. Judy remembers how Donnie would surprise and scare one of the girls or women, when he would come up from behind, put his arms around her waist, give a big squeeze, and lift her off the ground. He would do that even to his mother and, if it were Lois Jean, he might say something like, “Hello, whatcha doin’ Sis”. It seems he had a rather playful nature and I did hear the word “Rascal” used to describe him, more than one time as I was talking to family members.

In his working years, besides driving a truck locally, Donnie was also an over-theroad trucker, giving him an opportunity to tour much of the United States. He was also good at welding, and was quite talented when it came to mechanical work. He worked for a time for a major construction company, which built interstate highways.

Donnie helped keep their heavy equipment and trucks in good repair. He could also operate some of

that equipment, and worked locally for a time, for Don Christensen.

At some point, Donnie was involved in a decorative brickmaking business with his Uncle, Wilbur Potter. Our family’s home was very close, so I sometimes saw them working in the nearby quonset building, if the doors were open.

The bricks were available in several pastel tints, and if you want to see an example of their product, I believe there’s house in the 200 block of Southeast Vine in Leon, which still displays some of their bricks on the front.

After I graduated from high school, I went off to college, got married, finished college, got a teaching job in Garden Grove and didn't spend much time in Leon, so Donnie’s path and mine rarely crossed. In the 1970s, I was back working at Hanoco again and living in my mobile home, tucked in between the Hanoco buildings. When I encountered Donnie again, it appeared he had changed careers, from truck driver to farmer. He dressed like a farmer, in bib overalls, drove a typical farm pickup, and he had a new wife.

Most wedding vows include the words, “For better or worse, in sickness or in health”. When a groom or bride is repeating these words, he/she is naturally looking forward to a lifetime of happiness with the chosen mate.

Surely no one ever has visions in his/her head of how bad the “worse” part might someday be. I’m sure when Donnie and Molly Ivins repeated

their vows, they were thinking only of the good days ahead.

They first met while both were freshmen at Leon High School. He asked to walk her home. She was evidently not impressed after that walk, because that was the extent of their relationship, before her family moved to Grinnell, after her sophomore year. Both Donnie and Molly eventually married others, and each had a son and a daughter.

Years passed, both marriages ended in divorce, and Molly and her children moved back to Leon, first living with her parents, then later moving to a house of her own on South Main Street. She found employment at the local ASCS office, where she stayed for 35 years.

Don and Molly somehow found each other in the big city of Leon. She must have liked him more than she did in high school, as they married in 1969. They first lived in her house in Leon, then in half a dozen other places during their 32 years together.

Then came what’s meant by the “for worse” part in the wedding vows. Don went to the local clinic to see Dr. McMillan, complaining of sinus trouble. He was sent on to a specialist in Des Moines, who found a cancerous growth in his sinus.

He was sent to Iowa City for the removal of the cancer, which also involved removal of some teeth in the area. He survived the operation to once again come in and do business at Hanoco.

As the next few

years passed, Don's cancer returned, and the surgeons would do more surgery to remove more cancerous tissue from his head.

When he and I would happen to be alone in the station at Hanoco, he would tell me about some of the operations. Eventually most of his upper jaw was removed, he lost many or all of his teeth, part of his tongue, his palate, his nose, and one eye. He didn’t seem to mind talking about the surgeries. I be-

Attended a Scholarship day with Maizee at Simpson College on Saturday. This is one of those bitter sweet moments, where I am extremely proud of her accomplishments yet not ready to let her go.

As I stated in a previous article, she completely tore her ACL. This was not in her gameplan for her senior year in high school, or ever, but her determination to do her best in whatever role she is needed, on and off the court, sure has made her dad proud.

As you probably read last week, Maizee broke a school record at CD for making 8 three pointers. What an accomplishment for my little girl. Yes Maizee, you will always be my little girl. LOL. I know she was not thinking about any record she was just doing the job Coach Boothe asked her to do. She also just continues to play with no hesitation. I know

lieve he once told me that he was now able to breath through one ear canal. He wore bandages over part of his face. A couple of times he moved part of the bandaging to show me what was underneath or, more accurately, what wasn’t.

I was never horrified, or shocked, at what he told me or what I saw. While I felt very sorry for him, I actually found it rather interesting. (to be continued)

her Grandpa Gary is beeming from Heaven. oOo I sure had a multitude of ice cycles dangling from the office gutters Monday morning. It is a sure sign of the temperatures warming up. They are pretty to look at, but I decided to take a broom and knock them off as I didn't want them coming loose and potentially skewer someone walking into the office.

Ha! oOo It will be a busy week for the basketball teams as they have a game nearly every night this week. oOo Tragedy struck Sunday for NBA legend Kobe Bryant. He was killed, along with his 13 year old daughter, in a helicopter crash near Los Angelas. There were several others in the crash, as well. No one survived. Kobe was 41. oOo All you Republicans and Democrats, gear up for the Iowa Caucuses that will be held Monday, February 3. Check the ads in this week's paper for locations of the local caucuses.

They went above and beyond,” said Hynes.

Gale and Campbell have also adapted to the technology changes, according to Hynes.

“When Sharon and Judy started, they had to handwrite the items on a check for the participant to use. Then they went to checks that printed the items and now a small debittype card holds the benefits. Sharon and Judy mastered each and ev-

Letters to the Editor Decision Time

Decision time has arrived for all of us who have been strategically sitting on the political fence to stay open to each candidate’s platform.

Some candidates have the status quo or incremental approach to solving healthcare, education, and immigration issues. Others have promised that, as billionaires, they have the solutions. Still others have highlighted a single-issue approach to the climate crisis, the economy, and endless war.

While others show skill at rallying voters, but have not demonstrated the ability to garner congressional support for their own bills.

It is easy to be proud of all of the Democratic candidates for their energy, integrity, and innovative ideas, but. . . .

One candidate stands out as being prepared day one to improve the lives of the most voters through economic justice, health care, affordable education, and climate regeneration.

Elizabeth Warren is that candidate. She presents plans that, when implemented, will benefit the economy while meeting the needs of Americans.

Warren’s energy and enthusiasm for our democracy changes the tone of civic discourse.

Her adult career as an educator and her efforts in public life give her an outstanding re-

ery change splendidly,” said Hynes.

Hynes admits the clinics will be different once Gale and Campbell clock out for the last time. “Judy and Sharon are the beginning of our WIC story.

They have been leaders in WIC, locally and throughout the state.

Through their actions and achievements, they have guided and directed our agency.

They have conveyed to us the feeling that we are a part of something bigger than just a job; we are making a difference. We know we have been standing on the shoulders of giants.

They will be missed but they have prepared us to be the best we can be,” said Hynes. sume as a fighter for those who have often been victimized by the political system, a system that is currently rigged toward the wealthy and powerful.

Warren has imagined an America that works for all, an America that is less chaotic and out of balance.

She has plans that are inclusive and economically equitable: • H e a l t h c a r e that respects an individual’s budget and civil rights (a right in most developed countries), • P r e s c r i p t i o n drug prices that are reasonable and available to all, • A financial system that is transparent and working for everyone, • An electoral process that values every vote and protects democracy, • A system of immigration that recognizes the worth and dignity of those who enter legally, • E d u c a t i o n a l opportunities that remain affordable, and • Prison and detention reform for social justice.

This list covers key policies Warren has prepared to benefit Americans. Her skill at confronting a problem by listening to the people most affected, doing her research, developing a strategy, and persisting in implementation. This is the public servant’s philosophy in action. Imagine an America that works for all! Warren! She has a PLAN for that!

14 The Leon Journal-Reporter, Wednesday, January 29, 2020 Evertsen Receives Rising Star Award

The 2019 Rising Star Award recipient was Joy Evertsen, on the left. Presenting this award was Shannon Erb, last year's recipient.

Last years recipient, Shannon Erb, read the following about Joy Evertsen prior to presenting the award.

"This year's Rising Star grew up in Northern Iowa and moved to Leon almost 10 years ago. Our star was a member of 4-H, grew up on a dairy farm, and has a background in horticulture. She has run greenhouses and golf courses. She has a passion for childcare and providing good food for her students, family, and community members."

"Her involvement with youth continued after her move to Leon through her involvement in starting the 4-H Dynamites Club and leading the 4-H food stand at the fair. Before her current position as Nutrition Director at Central Decatur Schools, she worked at Great Western Bank and ran a catering company. As Nutrition Director, she manages countless programs to ensure students have food security, including the FFA banquet, school food pantry, concession stands, greenhouse and gardens, summer food program for students, athletes, and community members (including surrounding communities), dinner program for athletes, and programs in the Farm to School grant received this year. She also serves as cheerleading advisor."

"She and her family provide countless volunteer support to the community of Leon and Central Decatur Schools, and she is always willing to lend a hand when she learns of a need with a local family. Her relentless goal to serve as a support system for students who need it, support students who need a positive influence, and ensure students are safe and healthy makes her an easy choice as this year's Rising Star."

"Congratulations Joy Evertsen as the 2019 Leon Chamber of Commerce Rising Star."

Annual Chamber Banquet Held (continued from page 1)

port, and the community catalyst section of the SWCC House Construction, Decatur County Historical Society, Savanna Hills Nature Center and ISU Rural Housing Readiness Assessment.

To highlight the

PLAY section, the chamber is proud to help sponsor the annual events of the Leon Rodeo/4th of July parade, Paradise Farmers' Market, Decatur County Fair/Market Auction, Leon Fall Festival/Smoke the Town,

Southern Iowa Craft Festival, Ladies' Night Out and Leon Noel.

The program for the evening was presented

by Joy Evertsen highlighting the school's response to food scarcity in our community.

Evertsen shared a flier highlighting statistics of 1 in 8 Iowans are food insecure and 1 in 5 Iowa children do not have enough to eat; 384,830

Iowans live at or below the poverty level; 64% of clients served by the food banks in Iowa have to decide between paying for food or paying for medical care or medicine and 65% have to decide between paying for food or paying their utilities. Bringing it closer to home, in 2014, 22.5% of children living in Decatur County were considered food insecure and this current school year, 460 out of 718 Central Decatur students (64%) receive free or reduced lunches, an indicator that the school and other agencies use to determine potential need.

What is happening local? The Central Decatur food pantry is located at the high school, is open to CD students and their families and are currently serving 8-10 families weekly. Food is donated by the Iowa Food Bank, school and com-

munity organizations as well as individual residents from Decatur County.

The Decatur County Rotary Club for the past 5 years has also been sponsoring a weekly backpack food program supporting 20 students/week on average.

In 2015, Decatur County had an obesity rate of 30.1%, according to the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluations (IHME).

Additional hands on programs to help educate on healthy eating habits have been implemented into the schools classroom.

High school Food and Nutrition class is running a food of the month program mirroring the same fresh produce menu as the Pick A Better Snack grant Decatur County Public Health does with the PK-3rd grade students. The high school FCS classes are

learning how to prepare several different types of fresh produce to be eaten then by the PK-6th grade students for their Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Grant program.

CD students are in the 4th year of running an Aquaponics system in the Ag classroom.

Senior Ag students in conjunction with the USDA Farm to School Grant received this year for the first time, research and create an educational mentoring session primarily with the 5th and 6th grades classes.

The evening concluded with the introduction of the new officers. Leon Chamber of Commerce officers for the ensuing year include, Marcia Stephens, president; JoBeth Smith, vice-president; Tonya Lindsey, secretary; and Shane Akers, treasurer.
