Dedication to serviceBrown receives community service awardBy AMY HANSEN OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

“We love you, man.”Those were the words from Pastor Chuck

DeVos as he presented Osceola Chamber/Main Street’s 2013 Community Service award to Randy Brown at Clarke Community De-velopment Corporation and the chamber’s annual dinner Jan. 28 at Lakeside Casino.

DeVos was the master of ceremonies for the evening.

According to DeVos, qualifications for the award require an individual to display com-mitment, dedication and loyalty to the com-munity and causes benefitting the commu-

nity. The individual should invest time and effort into the betterment of the community and its residents.

Brown was nominated by Dr. Jim and Mary Ellen Kimball. Check out their nomi-nation letter on the right.

Well-deservedDeVos said he met Brown many years ago

and they immediately became friends.“Here’s what I know. I know this that this

man’s heart is every bit as big as he is,” De-Vos said. “He not only knows the meaning of the word serve, he’s demonstrated his service to the United States of America, to Osceola,

Songs, comedy, 1920s gangsters — Clarke Area Arts Council’s dinner-theater production of “Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway” has it all.

“I wanted something upbeat and some-thing that people would enjoy,” said Ann Diehl, the show’s director. “We’ve done two mystery-dinner theaters, and, of course, that doesn’t fit with the season. I love this kind of music, for one thing.”

Performances are Saturday, Feb. 15, and Sunday, Feb. 16, at Osceola Country Club.

CharactersThere are many characters who contrib-

ute to the plot development of the “Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway.” The cast consists of 13 actors.

Loebsack tours Clarke County with sheriff’s deputyBy AMY HANSEN OST news editor • ahan-sen@osceolaiowa.com

What would inspire a Congressman to go on a ride-along with a sheriff’s deputy?

According to Congress-man Dave Loebsack, D-Io-wa, it’s one of the best ways to learn about a local com-munity.

“I find, without excep-tion, that sheriff’s deputies,

sheriffs, law-enforcement officers, in general, have a very good sense of what’s happening in our communi-ty,” said Loebsack during an afternoon ride-along Jan. 25 with Clarke County Deputy Sheriff Christian Decker. “They’ve often learned a lot about their community over the years, too.”

Loebsack motioned to Decker during the ride-along and said, “He knows a lot about it. As you can tell,

I have a lot of questions.”Dien Judge, Loebsack’s

Congressional aide, and Amy Hansen, news editor of Osceola Sentinel-Tribune, were also in attendance dur-ing the ride-along.

The ride-along was the last scheduled event for Loeb-sack, who had already visited Rathbun Lake, Humeston and Leon earlier in the day.

SWCC carpentry students work on 11th house

Contributed photoPictured are students placing floor joists during construction at 245 Manor Drive.

By AMY HANSEN OST news editor • ahan-sen@osceolaiowa.com

Southwestern Commu-nity College (SWCC) stu-dents are contributing to development growth on the south side of Osceola.

Students in SWCC’s car-pentry and building trades class are currently working on constructing a house at 245 Manor Drive.

“We’ve been pretty lucky,” said Charlie Mundy,

the class’ instructor. “We had a hard time getting the roof on it ... but once we put the roof on it, then it turned cold.”

Mundy said students have been working since the beginning of the school year, and the roof was put on right before dismissal for winter break.

Inside workWith the frigid weather,

students have been hang-ing drywall inside the house and will move on to hang-

ing cabinets and flooring.“So it’s going to start

moving pretty quick, as least as far as the inside of the house,” Mundy said.

Once the weather im-proves, Mundy said he ex-pects the class to work on concrete and outside work around the house.

There are 12 students working in the carpentry and building trades class.

Response to Schaff’s letterBy SARAH TRUITTOsceola

Please let this letter serve as a means for clearing up some mis-truths that may have been read in the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune recently.

First and foremost, I would like to state the facts that have led to the “animosity” between Councilman Schaff and myself. Please refer to the minutes from the meetings for any verification you feel you might need.

Last year, while discussing funds for the senior center, Mr. Schaff sug-gested that we cut the funding to the animal shelter in order to support the senior center. I pointed out in a meet-ing that you cannot simply take funds from one entity (especially a service to the community that is being paid for) and donate them to another, and you certainly can’t do it without a majority vote from the council.

It was suggested again by Mr. Schaff, at the second January meet-ing of this year, that until we resolve the issue regarding the most recent $3,000 donation to the senior center, that we suspend all funding to the an-imal shelter. I’m not sure how these two organizations are related at all, except that they are both very impor-tant parts of our community and con-tribute greatly to our quality of life.

I never asked Mr. Schaff to resign from his position on the board at the senior center. I simply suggested that the council act accordingly to avoid any conflict of interest issues. I am sorry that Mr.Schaff interpreted these comments about conflict of in-terest as being personal attacks.

There are standards about avoid-ing conflicts of interest that are in place to protect government officials. They exist for good reason and are

necessary to maintain the integrity of the decisions the council must make.

It was not my intention to risk the funds to the senior center. And, I certainly did not appear before the council to “get back” at Mr. Schaff. I am offended that I would be accused of allowing my personal issues with one of the council members to moti-vate any behavior regarding the busi-ness of our community. That is un-acceptable and I am certainly more professional than that.

For those readers who have never met me in person, I am disappointed that you only know what Mr. Schaff has stated about me. I am a kind per-son. I am compassionate. I am intel-ligent. I am responsible.

During my time on the city council, it was my own personal goal to bring a sense of professionalism and dig-nity to the city and staff. In doing so, I expected each of us to truly be ac-countable for our decisions — myself included — and to treat one another with respect.

Once upon a time, Mr. Schaff was very supportive of me, introduced me to many of our citizens, offered encouraging words and helped me get the hang of things. I can think of countless others within the city who used to be within his favor, but who now have also become the target of his public shaming and criticism.

I am disappointed and embar-rassed that these conflicts have made their way into our weekly newspaper.

I do not intend to respond publicly to any future letters regarding my-self, but it is my duty to defend my own honor. I would invite anyone who doubts my intentions to please call me or stop by. You might be sur-prised at how easy I am to get along with.

Examining the risks, benefits of unmanned aircraft systemsBy REP. JOEL FRYHouse District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us

The House Public Safety Committee has started investi-gating the use of unmanned air-craft systems (UAS), also com-monly referred to as drones, in the State of Iowa. Five state representatives (Klein, Fry, Baudler, Anderson, Berry) will be amending House File 427 to address the use of UAS by the State and by private citizens.

Unmanned aircraft systems vary in size, shape and purpose. According to the Federal Avia-tion Administration (FAA), UAS can be as large as Boeing 737’s or as small as radio con-trolled helicopters. Because of the varying sizes and uses, the FAA is beginning the long pro-cess of determining how UAS should be used and regulated.

Currently, the FAA has se-lected six research and test sites across the country. The locations include, the Univer-sity of Alaska, Nevada, New York’s Griffiss International Airport, North Dakota, Texas A&M — Corpus Christi and Virginia Polytechnic Institute with Virginia Tech. Each test site will focus on different re-search, including climate im-pacts on UAS, certification requirements, FAA safety oversight, airworthiness testing

and risks of UAS.States across the nation are

divided on the use of UAS. In 2013, Hawaii, Nevada, North Dakota, Maryland and other states appropriated money for various programs to aid in the study of UAS.

Other states, such as Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas placed strict stan-dards on the use of UAS by state agencies. In most cases, law enforcement and other agencies will now have to ob-tain a search warrant to use a UAS. However, a majority of states have not passed any ma-jor legislation on this important issue.

Experts on unmanned air-craft systems have suggested that they could be used for many purposes. In times of

natural disasters or terrorist at-tacks, UAS can safely fly where a manned aircraft wouldn’t be able.

The information collected by the UAS could be used to help facilitate a rescue operation or clear a dangerous area without the risk to human life. UAS can also be used in more de-structive ways. Some organiza-tions have planned to use UAS to harass or intimidate others, including people who are law-fully hunting or fishing. Pre-venting intimidation through the use of UAS is a major focus for Iowa Legislators.

As the legislative session continues, representatives are open to legislative changes to ensure that unmanned aircraft systems are used in a safe and responsible manner. One that respects private property rights but also assists law enforce-ment with legal purposes. Indi-viduals interested in this issue are urged to contact their local representative.

Please join me at one of my legislative coffees during the course of the 2014 legislative session.

Clarke County, southern Iowa and the state of Iowa for many years.”

During his recipient speech, Brown said he didn’t expect to receive the award.

“This is quite an honor, and quite humbling coming from the friends and the family and every-body here that’s part of southern Iowa,” Brown said. “It was my pleasure to serve our country. It was even a bigger pleasure to

serve our veterans as director of veterans’ affairs, and it’s great to serve as your representative for southern Iowa on the Iowa State Fair board. The greatest fair in the world. I don’t know what else to say but thank you.”

RANDY BROWN:

Nomination letter for Randy BrownThis is Dr. Jim and Mary El-

len Kimball’s nomination letter for Randy Brown for Osceola Chamber/Main Street’s 2013 Community Service award:

“Randy G. Brown is certainly one of Osceola, Iowa’s shining stars. For over 40 years, he has been brightening the lives of people around him, working to make Iowa shine and radiating the essence of southern Iowa pride.

It is fitting and timely that Randy be honored as the Osceola Community Service Award recipient at the 2013 an-nual meeting. He presided as president of the Iowa State Fair Board and has served on the board 10 years.

Randy served his country above and beyond the call of duty, being medically retired from the United States Ma-rines. Gov. Terry Branstad ap-pointed him Iowa’s director of veterans’ affairs.

Randy’s leadership abilities and patriotism always shone a

light on Iowa. He had the dis-tinct honor of being the fourth person at the signing of the United States Disabilities Act. Several years ago, he was the keynote speaker for the Handi-capped Farmers Association in Canada.

He has turned personal chal-lenges into opportunities. He made an award-winning film for the United States Veterans’ As-sociation spotlighting veterans’ needs of adaptive housing.

Randy was founder and the first president of the Iowa All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) As-sociation, and has numerous medals in national wheelchair competitions.

Following his appointment as Iowa Director of Veterans’ Affairs, Randy ran an energetic and competitive campaign for the Iowa State Legislature.

Argosy Gaming recognized his strength and hired him as manager of Lakeside Hotel. He is now manager of transporta-tion and safety for the Clarke

County facility.Randy’s local involvement

in southern Iowa has evolved from his love of family, farming and country. Every July 4th, he is actively involved in Osceola’s July 4th parade.

He is one of three organizers of the Clarke County Develop-ment Corporation’s Leadership Academy that has graduates (of) 12-15 leaders each year, and he was on the board and president of the Clarke County Fair Board until he was ap-pointed to the Iowa State Fair Board.

Randy’s life is made complete with the love of his life, Judy. They have a son in Afghanistan and a daughter in Washington, Iowa.

Randy G. Brown’s vision-ary leadership, determined en-ergy and positive promotion of Osceola and Iowa make him a shining star. He is certainly de-serving and worthy to receive the 2013 Osceola Community Service Award.”

Musical numbers include, “Give My Regards to Broadway,” and “It’s

a Grand Old Flag/The Yankee Doo-dle Boy.”

When asked what she thinks the audience will like most about the mu-sical, Diehl said, “I think the musical numbers and the interplay between the characters, and also, I think it’s great that we’ve got new people. And that, I think, should peak some inter-est, too.”

“We have a good support system,” Mundy said.

Annual student chili-cookoffThe annual cookoff for students

in Southwestern Community Col-lege’s (SWCC) carpentry and building trades class is scheduled Friday at SWCC’s Osceola Center.

At 5:30 p.m., students will bring in pots of chili, and the public is invited to try the chili and vote

for the winner. Students are com-peting for trophies. The event is a free-will donation.

Funds from the event will go to-ward the class’ spring break trip to Morehead, Ky., where they will work on framing houses for a week.

6 THURSDAY • FEBRUARY 6, 2014 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNESPORTSRoadrunners come from behind for dual win against CDBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • svick-er@osceolaiowa.com

LEON — Interstate 35 went 3-0 here Thursday at Central Decatur’s quad wrestling meet, highlighted by a 39-33 win over the host Cardinals.

Central Decatur built up a 33-18 lead over Interstate 35, but the Roadrunners won the final three contest-ed matches of the dual and picked up a forfeit to com-plete the come-from-behind victory.

Lonnie Harper got things started for Interstate 35 with a 5-2 decision over Peyton Gilbert at 195 pounds, clos-ing the Central Decatur lead to 33-21.

The Roadrunners picked up two straight pins to tie the dual at 33-33.

Garret Thompson pinned Trace Carson in 1:25 at 220 pounds.

With Central Decatur leaving 106 open, the dual essentially came down to the 285-pound match be-tween Interstate 35’s Bobby Heilman and Central Deca-tur’s Brendan Thomas.

Heilman pinned Thomas in 1:34 to tie the dual at 33-

33, and essentially giving the Roadrunners the victory with the impending forfei-ture by Central Decatur at 106.

Central Decatur got pins in the dual from Chance Masters (126), Kade Kelso (132), Darin Martin (145) and Wyman Reed (152).

Forfeits at 113 pounds and 120 pounds by Central Decatur were also key to the Interstate 35 victory.

Interstate 35 also picked up victories over Van Meter (46-24) and Martensdale-St. Marys (71-6).

Lady Indians knock off SCC-leading AlbiaBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • svick-er@osceolaiowa.com

For the second straight season, Clarke head girls basketball coach Eric Zoske came into his team’s senior night with a group of seniors he knew he could count on.

And, for the second sea-son in a row, his team came away with a big win on se-nior night, sending those se-niors off in style here Friday night.

This time, the Lady Indi-ans scored a 56-51 win over South Central Conference leading Albia, which was previously unbeaten in con-ference play.

The Lady Dees entered the game with a 13-4 record overall.

“If someone has to shake up the conference a little bit, it might as well be us,” Zoske said. “Once again, we had three seniors do ev-erything they possibly could and left it all out on the floor to make sure their last home game, they walked off with a win.”

Zoske said two keys to the victory were having a good game plan coming into the game, and having post player Baylie Balcaen back in the lineup.

Balcaen missed the team’s

first game against Albia with a knee injury, as the Lady Dees rolled to a 57-32 win in that contest.

“Baylie was able to play this game, so she made a big difference for us,” Zoske said. “You watch the game or you look at the stats, and Baylie had only a couple of points and a couple of re-bounds, but when she’s not on the floor, we are a differ-ent team. She had one of the best rebounds I’ve ever seen of a high school female ath-lete that night.”

But, Friday night was all about the seniors, and Zo-ske’s seniors put on a perfor-mance for the home crowd.

Libby Bemis led the Lady I n d i a n s with 22 points and eight re-b o u n d s . B e m i s shot 9-of-12 from the free throw line in the game. Devon Carson n e t t e d 17 points on 5-of-9 s h o o t i n g from the floor and g r a b b e d six boards.

S e n i o r

Carley Robins scored eight points for Clarke to go with three assists and three steals. Fellow senior Ashley Hes-ton also started for the Lady Indians on senior night.

“Libby’s been clicking on offense,” Zoske said. “Ear-lier in the year, she was get-ting her fair share of points, but she was kind of forcing it. Now, she’s just playing and having fun doing it.”

Clarke shot 20-of-24 from the free throw line as a team against Albia, which played an important role in the close game.

The Lady Indians trailed by six points entering the fourth quarter, but Clarke outscored Albia 27-16 in the final quarter for the win.

“I think we missed three field goals in the fourth quarter and maybe one free throw,” Zoske said. “We were doing a good job of be-ing aggressive. Albia had to go man-to-man, because we were hitting our shots from the outside. They go man-to-man and we were getting free throws off of pick-and-roll sets. Free throws are contagious.”

Zoske said he was also impressed with Maddi Heath’s play at the point

Murray 59,Lamoni 37

SEYMOUR — Murray took a commanding 40-13 lead into halftime here Fri-day, rolling to a 59-37 win over Lamoni in the Blue-grass Conference semifinals.

The Lady Mustangs im-proved to 15-2 for the sea-son with the win.

“Got off to a quick start and an early lead,” head coach Jerry Shields said. “We were able to get every-one a lot of playing time and give a little rest for the start-ers.”

Megan Oswald led the way for the Lady Mustangs, s c o r i n g 16 points with eight rebounds. Kate Pat-ton had a strong game with 13 points, nine assists and six steals. Madison Gonseth just missed a double-double

with 10 points and nine re-bounds.

Deena Snyder, Courtney Siefkas and Shelby Myers each scored four points. My-ers grabbed four rebounds, while Snyder finished with four. Cheyanne Ashby scored three points.Murray 63,ACA 59

SEYMOUR — Murray built an early lead and then held off an Ankeny Chris-tian run in the second half for a 63-59 win here on Fri-day, claiming the Bluegrass Conference Tournament title.

It marks the first time the Lady Mustangs have won the conference tournament since 2007.

Kate Patton scored 30 points in the game, becoming Murray’s a l l - t i m e c a r e e r l e a d e r in scor-ing, pass-

ing the mark set by Kristin (Shields) Flaherty in 2007 of 1,248 points.

“We got out to an early lead and were able to hold off a couple of ACA runs in the fourth quarter,” head coach Jerry Shields said. “They cut the lead to five three or four times, but could not get any closer. We made some key free throws down the stretch. Had a seven-point lead at the end and they made a three at the buzzer.”

Patton also recorded six steals with four assists. Me-gan Oswald recorded a dou-ble-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Madison Gonseth finished with 11 points and eight boards.

Deena Snyder scored four points, while Courtney Siefkas, Chellsea Jones and McKenzie McIntosh each added two points. McIntosh pulled down five rebounds and Jones dished out five as-sists.

9OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • FEBRUARY 6, 2014CHURCH DIRECTORY/NEWS

By Father David PolichSt. Bernard Catholic Church

The six weeks or so between Thanksgiving Day and New Year’s Day are usually filled with generosity and good will.

Certainly, that was the case locally in the recent holiday season. Many people opened their hearts and their coffers to both neighbor and stranger. Food, monetary donations and assistance of various kinds were plentiful for those in need.

The outpouring of concern was real and genuine and significant. It was the Christmas spirit in all its wonder and glory.

But, the spirit wanes. Those who were cold or hungry or unemployed in December are probably no less so in Janu-ary or February.

Individuals who are homebound or otherwise isolated still may be lonely. We need each other twelve months a year.

And the “Spirit of Christmas” is the spirit of Christ, who said, “I give you a new commandment. Love one an-other as I have loved you.”

That kind of love is nei-ther seasonal nor occasional, but a way of life. Moreover, it needs to reach beyond the charitable actions inspired by the holidays.

True love leads us to seek good education for all, ad-equate health and wellness care, jobs with a living wage, a safe environment, emotional and spiritual support for each and every one of us.

Joseph Veneroso, a Roman Catholic priest of the Maryk-noll missionary order, recently wrote a poem, “Seeking Wisdom and Truth,” which reflects on the great religions of the world.

He begins and ends his poem with the following stanza:What difference which tree or how deep the rootOr how old or who planted the vine?Who cares how beautiful or fragrant the flowerIf not now, this most holy hourBelievers fail to bear good fruit?

American Cancer Society seeks volunteers, Relay For Life teams in Clarke County

The American Cancer So-ciety is seeking volunteers and teams for the second Relay For Life® of Clarke County.

Organizers are seeking volunteers to serve on the committee to help plan the kick-off for the event to en-gage volunteers in recruiting and assembling teams, seek-ing community support, co-ordinating logistics, securing donated refreshments and prizes, planning entertain-ment and lending their sup-port in any way.

The event cannot take

place without the commit-ment and help from a team of volunteers. The 2014 Re-lay for Life will take place on June 13-14 at the Clarke Community High School football field.

The world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, Relay for Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with an oppor-tunity to fight back against the disease.

“The American Cancer Society Relay For Life gives people in Clarke County a unique opportunity to contribute to the Society’s mission of saving lives, by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures, and by fight-ing back,” said Karen Irwin, event chair for the Clarke County Relay for Life. “Residents who give their time, energy and financial commitment to this exciting event are really standing up for our community and its pledge to join the fight. We

received tremendous sup-port from the community last year at the first Relay for Life and despite the bad weather we encountered the night of the Relay, the event was a huge success.”

Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups, people from all walks of life – all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost, and fighting back against the dis-ease.

Relay For Life events are

held as individuals and teams gather at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keep-ing at least one team mem-ber on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their relay.

If you would like to vol-unteer on the Relay For Life committee or serve as a team captain, please contact Karen Irwin at 641-572-0100 or visit RelayForLifeof-

ClarkeCountyIowa.org.As the nation’s largest

non-governmental inves-tor in cancer research, con-tributing about $3.4 billion, American Cancer Society turns what it knows about cancer into what it does. As a result, more than 11 mil-lion people in America who have had cancer and count-less more who have avoided it will be celebrating birth-days this year. To learn more about it or to get help, call anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit can-cer.org.

New placesWhile Loebsack has vis-

ited Osceola numerous times since acquiring Clarke County in Iowa’s Second Congressional District in the 2012 elections, he had never been to Woodburn or Murray before.

“It’s fine for Dien to get around and tell me about these places, but I need to be there myself, at least, from time to time,” Loeb-sack said.

While Decker escort-ed Loebsack on a tour of Osceola, Woodburn and Murray, the Congressman had many questions about the county and law enforce-ment.

Loebsack asked Decker what was the biggest chal-lenge of his job.

“It’s tricking your body into sleeping whenever you can,” Decker answered.

When it comes to illegal substances, Decker said the county also sees a lot of methamphetamine, mari-juana and problems with prescription pills.

Language barriersLoebsack said there was

a big Latino population in Osceola and asked Decker if there were a lot of lan-guage barriers that impact-ed his job as deputy sheriff.

“At times,” Decker said.

“We have people we can get a hold of for interpreters.”

Decker added, when com-municating to a Spanish-speaking adult, law enforce-ment will often converse with the adult’s bilingual child.

Decker said language bar-riers become more of a chal-lenge when communicating with Russian- or Albanian-speaking truck drivers pass-ing through on Interstate 35.

Another question Loe-bsack asked was if the winter weather had been a challenge to the depart-ment, and if cabin fever had caused an influx of calls.

Decker said it was the op-posite of what people might expect.

“There was a pretty long period where we didn’t have many calls at all,” he said.

In appreciationAccording to Decker, he

has done many ride-alongs, but this was the first one he has done for a Congress-man.

A Congressional term is two years, and Loebsack is seeking re-election in No-vember.

Loebsack said it’s impor-tant to support law enforce-ment, as well as local com-munities.

“I really appreciate it,” Loebsack said while thank-ing Decker at the end of the ride-along.
