Mr. Quigley had the full attention of the Veterans as well as the entire student body. Mr. Quigley repeated how even though an enlistee joins with a different accent or is from different ethnic groups or even grew up in different levels of society, when they join forces they come together as family

for the same common goal, laying down one’s life for another.....cause that’s what we do. Mr. Quigley continued with stating that each Veteran who served didn’t sign up to be a hero. We signed up because we felt it was our calling and we wanted to (continued on page 10)

The Festival, held at the Central Decatur School, featured 85 vendors who showcased a variety of handmade, homemade and crafted re-cycled items. The Festival attendees enjoyed lots of local entertainment, Santa, Mrs. Claus and their reindeer and lots of home-cooked food. Once again, many wonderful volunteers helped to make this a “special” event in Leon.

EDWIN DALE ROBINS Edwin Dale Robins, son of Fred D. and Eve Mae (Shutts) Robins, was born January 21,1925, in Weldon, Iowa and passed from this life on November 1, 2018, at the Homestead Assisted Living in Osceola, Iowa, at the age of 93 years.

Edwin grew up around Weldon, Iowa and graduated from Osceola High School in 1943. He told many tales of his years growing up around Weldon as the youngest of his six brothers and sisters. He told of his years of playing basketball and going on FFA trips while in high school. This too is where he met Deloris Reed, who would become Deloris Robins, and give him three children, seven grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, and five great-great grandchildren.

Ed and Deloris were married December 29, 1944, in Des Moines, Iowa.

They made their homes in Cummings, Lamoni, Murray, and Osceola, Iowa, most of which were spent on a farm. Ed was a farmer at heart always. Ed and Deloris raised three children while farming, Sheila, Lanny, and Doug-

las and were married for 60 years before Deloris passed in 2005.

Ed drove a Murray Community School School bus for fourteen years and served as the Clarke County Weed Commissioner. He was a past member of the Osceola Saddle Club and the Osceola Square Dance Club, and a current member of the Murray United Methodist Church.

He had also served as a Hospice volunteer.

Ed was a true farmer, watering cows, bottlefeeding calves, checking on cows, and raking hay up until about four years ago. He loved being surrounded by family, attending grandchildren’s events and family gatherings. He enjoyed rodeos, draft horse pulls, and anything to do with the past or being outside.

The last several years he enjoyed going uptown on the 4th of July to watch the parade and some of the events.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Deloris; and siblings, Juanita and Jap Webb, Ardell and Ralph Boggs, Gayle and Audra Robins, Donal and Margaret Robins, Fredine Hatfield, and Evelyn and Wilber Hatfield.

Ed is survived by his three children Sheila Harned and husband, Carroll, of Indianola, Iowa, Lanny Robins and wife, Sheryl, of Osceola, and Doug Robins and wife, Dianna of Murray, Iowa; grandchildren, Tami and Jim DeVore, Tawnia and Andrew Shipley, Corey and Carey Robins, Chris and Shelli Robins, Bethany Otto, Kyle and Lauren Robins and Lucas and Kimber Robins; greatgrandchildren, Cody, Turner, Skylar, Adam, Nicholas, Carley, Cobey, Cage, Caitlyn, Callie, Kyra, Mackenzi, Billy, Bo, Kasen and Ellis; great-greatgrandchildren, Brody, Addilie, Madden, Gracelyn and Harper; sister-in-law, Doris Linder of Osceola; nieces, nephews; and his old dog, Buck.

Diabetes Month

November is Diabetes month, which is meant to place focus on a life-threatening disease that affects millions of Americans.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) wants to set the record straight and educate the world about diabetes and its risk factors by sharing the common questions and answers below.

If you’re overweight, will you always develop type 2 diabetes? Being overweight is a risk factor for developing diabetes, but other risk factors such as how much physical activity you get, family history, ethnicity, and age also play a role. Unfortunately, many people think that weight is the only risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but many people with type 2 diabetes are at a normal weight or only moderately overweight.

Is diabetes caused by eating sugar? A diet high in calories from any source (including sugar) contributes to weight gain and weight gain increases your risk for type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetics and unknown factors that trigger the onset of the disease. Type 2 diabetes is not caused by sugar, but by genetics and lifestyle factors.

Do sugary drinks cause diabetes? Research has also shown that drinking sugary drinks is linked to type 2 diabetes.

The American Diabetes Association recommends that people avoid drinking sugar-sweetened beverages to help prevent type 2 diabetes.

Is diabetes a serious disease? Yes. Diabetes causes more deaths per year than breast cancer and AIDS combined, and having diabetes nearly doubles your chance of having a heart attack.

The good news is that managing your diabetes can reduce your risk for diabetes complications.

Do people with diabetes need to eat special foods? A healthy meal plan for people with diabetes is generally the same as healthy eating for anyone – low in saturated fat, moderate in salt and sugar, with meals based

Dr. Bryan Nowlin

special occasions so you focus your meal on more healthful foods.

Can you catch diabetes from someone else?

No. Although we don’t know exactly why some people develop diabetes and others don’t, we know diabetes is not contagious. It can’t be caught like a cold or flu.

Are people with diabetes more likely to get colds and other illnesses?

You are no more likely to get a cold or another illness if you have diabetes.

People with diabetes are advised to get flu shots.

This is because any illness can make diabetes more difficult to control, and people with diabetes who get the flu are more likely than others to go on to develop serious complications.

The following symptoms of diabetes are typical. However, some people with type 2 diabetes have symptoms so mild that they go unnoticed.

Common symptoms of diabetes: urinating often, feeling very thirsty, feeling very hungry - even though you are eating, extreme fatigue, blurry vi(continued on page 5)

Thank You

Thank you to everyone that supported me in the election! I’m grateful for each and every vote and I appreciate your trust in me. I look forward to serving you all as Decatur County Treasurer!

Thank You

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for all the prayers, flowers, food, cards, calls, visits, hugs, and love our community has shown us in the loss of Matthew Cox. Matthew will be greatly missed but know that God has a plan in all this and we will trust the Lord to use this for His honor and glory.

on lean protein, nonstarchy vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and fruit. Foods that say they are healthier for people with diabetes generally offer no special benefit.

Most of them still raise blood glucose levels, are more expensive, and can also have a laxative effect if they contain sugar alcohols.

If you have diabetes, do you have to only eat small amounts of starchy foods, such as bread, potatoes, and pasta?

Starchy foods can be part of a healthy meal plan, but portion size is key.

Breads, cereals, pasta, rice (whole grain options are better), and starchy vegetables like potatoes, yams, peas, and corn can be included in your meals and snacks.

Can people with diabetes eat sweets or chocolate? If eaten as part of a healthy meal plan, or combined with exercise, sweets and desserts can be eaten by people with diabetes. They are no more “off limits” to people with diabetes than they are to people without diabetes. The key to sweets is to have a very small portion and save them for

SEAT BELTS WORK!

Proper seat belt use reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passengers by 45 percent and the risk of moderate to serious injury by 50 percent. Males are more likely to be unbuckled than females in fatal crashes. Younger drivers are also at greater risk of being unbuckled. The 13 – 15 age group had the highest percentage (62 percent) of occupants killed who were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash.

If you are ejected from a vehicle in a crash, odds are that you will not survive. In 2016, 8 out of 10 (81%) people who were totally ejected from vehicles were killed; only 1 percent of occupants wearing seat belts were ejected in fatal crashes.

There were 4 Iowans killed in traffic crashes over the 2017 Thanksgiving weekend, a reduction of 2 from 2016.

At the November 3rd Veteran Appreciation Luncheon, the Decatur County Veterans Affairs Commission presented Eldon Binning a plaque for his 11 years of service on the Decatur County Veterans Affairs Commission.

Binning stepped down from the Decatur County Veterans Affairs Commission effective July 1st. He had served on the Commission since August

2007.

During his tenure, the VA office grew from being open for only limited hours to full-time, helping Veterans with county, state and federal issues.

“I’m proud to have been a part of the Commission and helping Veterans and their dependents get benefits they deserve,” says Binning. Eldon and Doris, his wife of over 60 years, reside in Leon.

Community Foundation Week Community Foundation Week has been celebrated every November 12th-18th since 1989, to raise awareness of the critical role of philanthropy in supporting thriving communities across the country. Community foundations are the fastest growing philanthropic sectors in the United States today. They build and strengthen communities in a variety of ways including providing the means for donors to create permanent funds to meet critical needs. The first community foundation was established over 100 years ago in Cleveland, Ohio. Today there are more than 750 in

the United States alone.

In the past year, South Central Iowa Community Foundation (SCICF) was pleased to receive over $1.8 million in gifts and awarded over $1.3 million in grants and educational scholarships to our 5 county area consisting of Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Ringgold, & Union and our 3 affiliate counties of Adams, Appanoose, and Wayne. Several of the grants awarded benefited our local schools, fire departments, daycare facilities, public libraries, conservation, senior centers, and parks.

SCICF is proud to give back to our local communities! For more information, visit us at scicf.org.

Whether you’re a passenger or the driver, riding long distances or short, please buckle your seat belt. Doing so ensures everyone arrives safely to their Thanksgiving destinations.

The Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau ask, “Won’t you wear yours?”

And along with that, remember to not drink and drive.

Your loved ones will be grateful.

Much to the chagrin of a certain young lady, who threatened me if I was dreaming of a white Christmas, to STOP IT, Bing and I may have started a little early this year. Ha! The area was blanketed with its first measurable amount of snow last Thursday evening into Friday. The weather did warm up a little over the weekend that helped melt it away.

In anycase, moisture is moisture. The cold winds and falling temperatures returned Monday morning. oOo Was able to attend the annual Craft Festival briefly Saturday. Lots of nice wares and many just right for the perfect Christmas gift.

It was nice to see all of the people in town. It was reported that somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500 people came through the doors. Great Job! oOo The members of the Unity Club spent the afternoon last week putting greenery in the concrete planters around town. Looks festive.

On election night, their home was lost to a fire.

Fortunately they were not home at the time and no one was injured. A house fire is devastating at any time of the year, but at this time around the holidays it makes it worse.

MARGARET GIBSON As I type up the news on Veterans Day 2018, I send a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our veterans.

Not much happening in the neighborhood this week. Deer season started in Missouri on Saturday so all the deer headed north across the Missouri-Iowa line and into Iowa late Friday night.

Cotton and Coy Osborn stayed all night with Grandpa Gary and Grandma Sandy Osborn Saturday night.

On Sunday dad Chad, mom Haylie, and baby brother Cole Osborn and Grandma Ruby Osborn ate lunch with Gary and Sandy and Cotton and Coy. Greg Savage and Doug Carpenter spent Friday night through Monday noon with Liz Carpenter.

Greg and Doug went deer hunting Saturday but came up empty. Liz joined them on Sunday and they all came up empty. Going to try again next weekend.

Saturday morning Optimist Club members Liz Carpenter and Lynda Farnham took a load of redeemable bottles and cans to the redemption center at Corydon.

Mike Wheeler from Dallas, Georgia, stopped by to Liz Carpenter’s on Sunday to visit and see how the deer hunting was going. He had not gotten a deer either.

Matthew Myrick, nephew of Margaret “Teeny” Gibson came up to the farm to hunt for deer but didn’t have any luck. (All the deer went to Iowa for a couple of weeks.)

Margaret Gibson and Grant Gibson went to visit Margaret’s sister, Ina Lou Myrick in Blue Springs over the weekend.

Have a good week, be kind to each other, and let’s be thankful for our veterans all year round.

(P.S. The Kansas City Chiefs won another one Sunday afternoon. Go Chiefs!)

4H Youth Giving Back to Local Farmers

The weather has made for a tough harvest for area farmers. Members of the Decatur County Dynamites 4-H Club wanted to lift the spirits of harvest weary farmers and let them know their hard work is valued by the community.

First year members and chairs of the fall community service committee: Macson Lindsey and Pace Chaillie organized the club to make 80 farmer snack bags. Members decorated bags, made trail mix, and placed the snack and a bottle of water in each sack along with a note that read “During Harvest, Farmers give up meals at their table so we can have meals at ours. THANK A FARMER. The bags were placed at area businesses around Decatur County so farmers could grab a snack while they delivered grain or picked up parts. Pictured above are Pace Chaillie (front left) and Macson Lindsey (front right) along with AgriVision of Leon employees Rusty King, Madison Darvhard, Hunter Hamaker, Malcolm Mercer, John Fidman, Marvin Palmer and Mike Newberry.

Quarterly service projects are just one way that the club members use their “hands for larger service” to their community. sure to join us for books, songs, rhymes at our Little Tots Storytime Thursdays at 10:30! We try to incorporate special hands-on activities into many of our story times and welcome special guests. Call us at 641446-6332, if you have any questions or would be interested in making a special guest appearance.

Veterans Honored at School Assembly

Student Council President Emmy Stone spoke briefly about the bravery of Veterans and how fortunate we are to live in a community where Veterans are respected. (continued from page 1) make a difference. We did in that moment what we thought was right.

Following the guest speaker, a moment of silence was observed followed by Taps played

by Addie Parmer (CD junior) and Mr. Aaron Comer, to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Before the retiring of the Colors, the elementary students came together in harmony singing the

“Armed Forces Salute” song which includes each branch of the military.

During this song, Veterans stood when their branch of the military was addressed in the song and each one received an American flag by an elementary student.

The High School Choir sang “God Bless America.”

At the conclusion of the assembly, the Veterans were invited to lunch with elementary students.
