OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Murray’s new Casey’s draws a big crowd for opening day

MURRAY — The doughnuts are stocked on the shelves. The gas pumps are ready to be used. The pizza is piping in the oven. The new Casey’s General Store in Murray is open for business.

A store opening reception was held Thursday at the Casey’s, which is located di-rectly south of the school in Murray.

Many people and officials from Murray were there, as well as former Democratic Congressman Leonard Boswell and Robert J. Myers, chairman, president and chief ex-ecutive officer of Casey’s General Stores.

“It’s a great thing for the community just to have a convenience store, to have a Casey’s here,” said Nik Werner, former mayor of Murray. “ ... The amenities they provide is something the city really needed. The citizens re-ally wanted it, and it’s just a huge boost for the city of Murray.”

During Werner’s term as mayor, he was instrumental in starting the process of Mur-ray acquiring a Casey’s store.

What does it offer?The store is also bringing approximately

20 new jobs to the community.

As for Casey’s amenities, it’s more than just the gas pumps outside of the store. The interior of the store offers customers snacks, drinks, doughnuts, pizza, a deli, soft serve ice cream and frozen slushy drinks.

It had previously been reported the store would not have a deli and just serve pizza.

However, during the opening, a comment was made that if Casey’s General Stores opens a new convenience store, it’s not styled after an old model. The new store is designed to be the most up-to-date version of the store possible.

During Myers’ opening ceremony speech, he discussed what drew Casey’s General Stores to Murray. He said one reason was the community’s support of the school dis-trict. This included the city approving a bond issue last year to build an addition onto the school.

Community appreciationBefore Myers finished his speech, he was

presented with a gift — a Murray Mustangs T-shirt. The gift drew a round of applause from everybody in the store, including Bo-swell.

When Boswell was a Congressman, his district included Murray.

“I have a fondness for Murray ... and I en-joyed coming to Murray. The school spirit, the Mustangs,” Boswell said. “ ... It’s won-derful. It was something that was needed. It’ll provide a service that was needed for the community. We need gas. We need es-sentials, convenience. It’s a good thing.”

HOW SWEET IT IS

Kimes appointed by governor to serve on real estate commission By AMY HANSEN OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

It takes hard work for a person to professionally make it to the top of their business.

Helen K. Kimes, broker/owner of Saylor Realty, LLC, was re-cently appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad and confirmed by the Senate as a member of the Iowa Real Estate Commission.

She is one of seven commis-sioners in the state of Iowa.

“It’s huge in my business be-

cause it’s really the top of what I can achieve in real estate,” Kimes said.

CommissionWhat the real estate commis-

sion does is oversees that the law in the state of Iowa is carried out. If there are any penalties imposed, any disciplinary action, the commission deals with the is-sues.

Commissioners are, essential-ly, overseeing all of the realtors in the state of Iowa. They are also aided by state assistants and attorneys.

Kimes said it was similar to the state’s gam-ing commission.

“It’s basically for the public and the realtors to make sure the public is be-ing treated fair-ly by the real estate industry,” Kimes said.

She will serve for three years on the commission, which meets monthly. The commission is com-prised of four brokers, two mem-

bers of the public and one sales-person.

Kimes is the first person from Clarke County appointed to the commission.

In the businessKimes has been in the real es-

tate industry since 1973, and has 12 professional-licensed agents and brokers in her office.

She has served the south cen-tral Iowa area since obtaining her license and opening Saylor Realty since 1976.

Kimes has held various posi-tions on the Iowa Association of

Realtors state and local boards. She is a graduate of the Realtors Institute and a certified residen-tial specialist.

According to Kimes, she is ex-cited to start her work with the commission.

“It means that I have the re-spect and the honor of being put in a position to judge my peers,” she said. “… It’s an honor to say that you have the respect and have attained the credentials that they feel that you’re qualified to make decisions on behalf of the state and what that law means.”

Mosaic to close South Central Iowa Recycling Center

Mosaic in South Central Iowa is moving toward a more inclusive community model for competitve em-ployment opportunities for the people they serve.

Throughout the last year, three people supported by Mosaic in Osceola have chose to move from working at the South Central Iowa Recycling Center to jobs in the community.

Because of this change in service model, South Cen-tral Iowa Recycling Center, the Osceola can and bottle redemption center located at 209 W. Washington St., will be closing May 10.

“Thank you to all who have supported South Cen-tral Iowa Recycling Center. Your cans and bottles have helped provide employ-ment opportunities and a paycheck for people with in-tellectual disabilities,” said Rachelle Williams, employ-ment support coordinator for Mosaic in South Central

Iowa.Mosaic in South Cen-

tral Iowa is being proactive in supporting people with disabilities and their work preferences. Mosaic staff are recognizing many of the people they serve want to learn the skills needed to work in competitive paying jobs in the community, rath-er than a sheltered work-shop setting.

Mosaic has also found the benefits are mutual for the employee and employer.

Mosaic in South Central Iowa provides a life of pos-sibilities to more than 90 people with intellectual dis-abilities or mental illness in Osceola and Chariton by of-fering them the opportunity to enjoy a meaningful life in a caring community and by giving them a voice to their needs. They provide them the chance to make choices — a home, roommate, em-ployment and how they en-gage in their community.

Hy-Vee to offer classes A Hy-Vee dietitian will

be at Osceola’s Hy-Vee Fri-day, May 2. She will be host-ing a class at 10 a.m. called “Blender Boost Class.” The purpose of the class is for people to boost their bland meals into a blend of nutri-tion and flavor.

Hy-Vee’s Garden Center

will be hosting mini-classes every week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. on the benefits of using fresh herbs. This also includes how to plant them, take care of them and use them. These classes are weather permit-ting.

Increase in disabled veteran homestead credit clears Iowa House committeeBy Rep. Joel FryHouse District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us

Senate File 2352 expands the individuals eligible for the dis-abled veterans homestead tax credit (a property tax credit for 100 percent of amount levied).

Currently, there is a disabled veteran tax credit under Iowa Code 425.15. That code section provides a property tax credit on the homestead of an eligible veteran (who received special adaptive housing because of a service-connected disability) equal to the entire amount of property tax levied.

Senate File 2352 modifies the qualifications for this total property tax credit by adding the following as qualified re-cipients:

• All veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 100 percent

• Former members of the national guard of any state who otherwise meets the ser-vice requirements for Iowa Na-

tional Guard members service-connected disability rating of 100 percent

• Surviving spouses or chil-dren who are receiving depen-dency and indemnity compen-sation for a spouse or parent who died in action or dies be-cause of a service connected injury

Senate File 2352 also strikes the maximum income limita-tion qualification for the credit (was at $35,000). Senate File 2352 applies to applications for the disabled veteran credit filed on or after the effective date of the bill (effective upon enactment). The bill is ex-pected to have a fiscal impact of $3.607 million in FY 2016. The bill will now move to the House floor for further consid-eration.

Southwestern’s talent search freshmen day

CRESTON — Students who par-ticipate in the Educational Talent Search (ETS) program will get the opportunity to take part in an over-night campus visit on the Southwest-ern Community College (SWCC) campus.

On May 21, ETS high school fresh-men are invited to spend the night in the new Spartan Suites dorms. Space is limited to the first 20 participants.

ETS student participants will get the chance to sit in on college classes at SWCC, experience dorm life, have a campus tour and sit in on a finan-cial aid and admissions presentation.

The goal of this event is to ac-quaint our freshmen with college life. Statistics show that the earlier students are exposed to a college campus, the more likely they are to

attend college. SWCC is using this activity as an opportunity to provide ETS students with this exposure.

The deadline for registration is Friday, May 16. Students can sign up through their local school’s ETS ad-visor or by calling 800-247-4023, ext. 392, or 641-782-1392.

High schools in Area 14 participat-ing in the ETS program include Bed-ford, Clarke, Creston, East Union, Lenox, Murray, Orient-Macksburg and Southwest Valley. Dinner will be provided for all who attend.

TRiO Educational Talent Search is 100 percent federally funded by the U.S. Department of Education. More than 800 students are served by Area 14’s ETS program. The ETS office is located on SWCC’s Creston campus.

Clarke County Healthcare Coalition to host preparedness exercise May 6

Emergency prepared-ness is an every day pro-cess. Just as sports teams have to practice, so do ser-vice agencies in order to better serve the communi-ties. Clarke County is no exception.

Clarke County’s Health-care Coalition will hold a functional preparedness exercise Tuesday, May 6. Most Osceola and county residents will not see the signs that anything is oc-curring.

Coalition members Clarke County Hospi-tal, Clarke County Public Health, Clarke County Emergency Management and Environmental Health

will be playing. Also in-cluded in the exercise will be 9-1-1 dispatch, Osceola Police, Clarke County Sheriff and Clarke County Conservation.

Clarke County Health-care Coalition has con-tracted with R.D. Keep of Preparedness Exercise and Training from Oskaloosa to assist in the design, de-velopment, conduct, eval-uation and follow-up for the exercise.

Keep said a functional exercise is just one of the avenues for the coalition to test their preparedness.

“There are different lev-els of exercise available, but a functional was cho-

sen to assist in meetings state and Federal grant requirements,” Keep said. “Simply a functional exer-cise allows the players to respond in near-real time to information provided them through phone calls, radio traffic or handouts from a controller. In a functional, no equipment or personnel is moved. However, the actions are documented and evalu-ated against the organi-zation’s plans and pro-cedures, and established standards.”

The exercise scenario centers on an EF2 tornado that touches down near the hospital and moves

east-northeast toward East Lake Park and dissi-pates east of town. There will be no “victim” fatali-ties, but there will be a number of severe injuries, blocked roads, and issues, which coalition members will need to deal with.

While no one hopes this will ever happen, severe winds and tornadoes can change a community and challenge their response. It is Clarke County Coali-tion’s hope through this exercise that should some-thing occur, the lessons learned from the exercise will improve the response and recovery from the event.

7OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • MAY 1, 2014SPORTS Patton improves on seed at Drake Relays By SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • svick-er@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — Murray senior Kate Patton finished 14th out of 32 competitors here Friday in the Drake Relays high school girls 100 meter dash.

Patton entered the 2014 Drake Relays in a three-way tie for 31st in qualifying. The top 32 performers gained entry to the Drake Relays.

Having been selected out of that tie to compete in the Drake Relays, Patton moved up 17 spots from her seed, running 12.87 in the prelims.

That time was just off her season best of 12.80.

“Last year I got 20th, so I wanted to do better than that,” Patton said. “There’s three 1A girls, so I wanted to beat all the 1A girls.”

Patton ended up finish-ing second out of the three Class 1A competitors, as Montezuma sophomore Ka-tie Maschmann finished sev-enth, running 12.76 in the finals after having the fifth-best time in prelims at 12.70.

Des Moines Roosevelt se-nior Jalynn Roberts-Lewis won in 12.24.

It marked the second straight year Patton had qualified for the Drake Re-lays 100 meter dash.

Patton got a bad start out of the blocks at the 2013 Drake Relays, but felt she had a better start this year.

“I was really relaxed,” she said. “I was talking to the girl beside me the whole time, so that really helped.

I did my practice start and I noticed my back block wasn’t quite right, so I fixed that and hoped it was better.

“Everyone is a lot better out of the blocks than me, and I realize that. So when I run at this level, it kind of hurts me.”

Still, Patton was able to make up ground in the later part of the race.

“I got out and I saw the girls ahead of me,” she said. “I started closing, and I felt like I did a good job of clos-ing.”

The level of competition was much different from what Patton sees at a typical track meet, where she often wins the 100 meters, 200 me-

ters and 400 meters.“Typical track meets, I

can have a bad start or what-ever and it doesn’t matter,” she said. “Up here, you have to have everything, I don’t want to say perfect, but it needs to be perfect in or-der to do good. I think next year, going into college, this is good prep for it. It’s also good prep for going back to state, if I make it.”

Linhart 15th at Drake Relays By SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • svick-er@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — Central Decatur junior Hallie Linhart just wanted to have fun in her first career trip to the Drake Relays.

And regardless of her result in the high school girls high jump competition here on April 24, she did just that.

“It was awesome,” Linhart said about the Drake Relays experience. I was up here to have fun. I’m just happy I made it.”

Linhart tied for 15th place in the high jump competition, with a clearance of the 5-0 opening height.

She missed on her first at-tempt at 5-0, but easily cleared it on her second attempt.

Linhart then took three at-

tempts at 5-2, but couldn’t get over the bar cleanly, knocking it off with her legs on her third and final attempt.

“The first one (at 5-0), I wasn’t running fast enough, and the second one felt pretty smooth,” Linhart said. “I was a little rocky still, though. Then the next three, I wasn’t fast enough and then my butt hit the second time. Just wasn’t feeling it, I guess, to-day.”

Alexis Conaway of MOC-Floyd Valley won the compe-tition, clearing 5-5. Hinton’s Kasey Reuter and Union, LaPorte City’s Maria Wrage also cleared 5-5, but Conaway had fewer misses, winning her third Drake Relays high jump crown.

Linhart said making it to the Drake Relays as one of the top 24 jumpers in the

state, regardless of class, was a good experience.

“I’m glad I could come up here for experience before state, If I can make it there,” she said.

And as for her goal of hav-ing fun, Linhart accomplished that.

“I just came up here to have fun,” she said. “I wasn’t really looking for a first place fin-ish. A little better would have been nice, but I’m happy. I met some people and made some friends, so that was good.”

OST photo by AMY HANSENOfficials with Clarke County Development Corporation pose for a photo with Scott Bailey, a volunteer with the Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a division of the Department of Defense. Pictured, back row, from left are Bill Trickey, Doug Miller, Helen Kimes, Dr. Jim Kimball and Bailey. Front row are Bill Freeman and Elizabeth Simpson.

Businesses, organizations sign statement of support for the guard and reserve

Iowa Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense office, announced that officials with Lakeside Hotel and Casino, Iowa Steel Fabrication, Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC), Miller Products and Saylor Realty signed a state-ment of support for the Guard and Reserve Thursday, April 17. The signing ceremony oc-curred at each business or or-ganization’s location.

The statement of support confirms the businesses, orga-nizations join other employ-ers in pledging:

• We fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA).

• Our managers and super-visors will have the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve.

• We appreciate the values, leadership and unique skills service members bring to the workforce and will encourage opportunities to hire Guards-men, Reservists and veterans.

• We will continually rec-ognize and support our coun-try’s service members and their families in peace, in cri-ses and in war.

“Today, supportive em-ployers are critical to main-taining the strength and read-iness of the nation’s Guard and Reserve units. I am ask-ing all Iowa employers to take a look at their current human resources policies to incor-porate policies supportive of Guard and Reserve employ-ees,” said Dick Rue, Iowa ESGR state chair. “Many Iowa employers provide ‘Above and Beyond’ support with pay differential to offset the loss of wages, and exten-sion of health care benefits, which complement cover-age provided by the military, when their employees are mobilized.”

“Lakeside Hotel Casino is proud to hire members of the National Guard and Re-serves, as well as veterans at all levels within the organiza-tion. We vow to continue our support of those who have given themselves to our coun-ty,” said Luke Keller, market-ing manager at Lakeside Ho-tel and Casino.

“Iowa Steel Fabrication proudly supports our active and returning military mem-bers. Guard and Reserve Service members are instru-mental in protecting our great Nation and the least that we can do is help ensure there are jobs available when they return home. The skills these Service members obtain through their rigorous train-ing aids civilian employers and is yet another reason to extend the welcome mat to

our returning heroes of the Iowa National Guard,” said Joe Greving, president of Iowa Steel Fabrication.

“I am always impressed by the commitment demonstrat-ed by our Guard and Re-serve members. Being will-ing to drop everything and take their place in the ranks, for sometimes two years at a time, is a tremendous sac-rifice on our behalf. Not to mention their willingness to place themselves in harm’s way to insure our security and quality of life. And, of course, the sacrifice is shared by their families, as well,” said Bill Trickey, executive director of CCDC. “This program is vital to making sure when these patriots re-turn home, they can begin to put their lives back together again. We at CCDC are proud to make our pledge to these great Americans.”

“Jack McFarland, owner of Miller Products Compa-ny, is a veteran and former Guard member. He and his management team proudly support the National Guard and Reserve,” said Denis Weise, chief operating of-ficer (COO) of Miller Prod-ucts Company.

“Saylor Realty, LLC, is pleased to participate in the Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve Pro-gram and do this in appre-ciation for the service and dedication that our military provides for the American people. This is a small effort that we can make to assist returning military back into the workforce,” said Helen Saylor Kimes, broker/owner of Saylor Realty, LLC.

These places join a cadre of Fortune 500 companies, state and federal agencies and thousands of America’s employers in demonstrating support for our armed forces, Rue said.

ESGR, a Department of Defense office, seeks to fos-ter a culture where all em-ployers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States.

ESGR facilitates and pro-motes a cooperative culture of employer support for Na-tional Guard and Reserve service by developing and advocating mutually ben-eficial initiatives, recognizing outstanding employer sup-port, increasing awareness of applicable laws and policies, resolving potential conflicts between employers and their service members and acting as the employers’ principal advocate within DoD.

By Father David PolichSt. Bernard Catholic Church

Many of you are familiar with Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelu-jah,” a musical piece that has been performed by a number of singers.

During Holy Week, a friend and former coworker, Barb Wolter, sent me a rendition of “Hallelujah” with different words written and sung by Kathy Mooney.

Mooney used the structure of the song to tell the story of Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection from the dead.

My friend took the added step of adding works of art to the music, creating a visual and aural expression of faith that stunned me by its power.

More accurately, I should say that the video expressed so well the power of Jesus’ life, death and rising in a most beautiful and wonderful way.

I am very thankful for those who employ their artistic and creative gifts to reflect upon the richness and depths of faith. They give the rest of us new windows into the greatest truths and gifts with which we are graced by God. We owe them debts of gratitude for lifting up our souls to heaven in most special ways.

Even the most faithful believe can become bogged down in routine and need to be reawakened to the majesty and wonder of the Lord’s love.

The video also was important to me personally because it

laid out before me the entirety of Jesus mission and the pas-chal mystery of life through death as a seamless garment — one part flowing into the other.

Someone has written, “Good Friday is as much about rising as it is about dy-ing. Easter is as much about dying as it is about rising.”

The Christian message of life through death is a paradox meant for Christians to practice, as well as ponder.

When Jesus talked about the grain of wheat dying in or-der to bear fruit, he wasn’t referring to farmers in Kansas. He was talking to those who claim to follow him.

Faith in Christ Is about having the trust in God to let go — as Jesus himself did. It is about focusing, not on our-selves, but on seeing the face of God in our brothers and sisters.

The person who places God’s call and God’s command-ment of love above all things is the one who truly lives.

The more we immerse ourselves in the teachings and sacrifice and victory of Christ, the more we can journey faithfully and joyfully with him — and share our own song with others.

Relay for Life in Clarke County information The American Cancer

Society Relay For Life of Clarke County gives ev-eryone in the community a chance to help the organiza-tion save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Register your team today by visiting www.relayforlife.org/clarkecountyia or by calling 641-572-0100.

Former and current can-cer patients, those who have lost a loved one to cancer, families, businesses, faith-based and civic organiza-tions, and anyone wanting to make a difference in the fight against cancer are in-vited to take part in this team event.

Relay For Life takes place from 6 p.m. Friday, June 13, until 6 a.m. on Saturday, June 14, at Clarke Commu-nity High School football field.

Relay For Life events are held overnight as individu-als and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or fairground, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times.

Although the event is called a “relay” it is not necessary to have athletic ability to participate. While participants can run if they choose, most people walk and even people who use wheel chairs have partici-

pated.Teams do most of their

fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites at the event.

Relay For Life brings together friends, fami-lies, businesses, hospitals, schools and faith-based groups all aimed at further-ing the efforts of the Ameri-can Cancer Society to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, finding cures and fight-ing back.

“Relay For Life draws attention to the progress being made by the Ameri-can Cancer Society, and the work yet to be done,”

said Karen Irwin, volunteer Relay For Life event chair. “Many participants are our family, friends, and neigh-bors who have faced cancer themselves. Their involve-ment gives us hope that, together, we can finish the fight against cancer. Each new team that registers brings us that much closer.”

The American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more birthdays by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, finding cures and fighting back.

For more information, contact the American Can-cer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Murray students submit posters to conservation poster contest

MURRAY — The Na-tional Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and local soil and water conservation districts (SWCD) offered the 2014 Conservation Poster contest.

This year’s poster con-test theme was “Dig Deeper-Mysteries in the

Soil.”Nine Murray students

participated by submitting their posters.

The two winning posters will be sent on to the dis-trict conservation office for regional judging.

April 27 though May 2 is Conservation Week.

A complex mix of min-

erals, air and water, soil also teems with countless micro-organisms, and the decaying remains of once-living things. Soil is made of life and soil makes life.

To find more about your local soils, locate your lo-cal conservation district at http://www.nacdnet.org/about/districts/directory.

Referendum information from FSAU.S. Department of Ag-

riculture (USDA) is seek-ing comments on proposed amendments to procedures for soybean producers to request a referendum on the Soybean Promotion and Research Order as au-thorized under the Soybean Promotion, Research Con-sumer Information Act.

USDA also announces the request for referendum will be held May 5 through May 30 in county USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices.

The act requires a request for referendum be held ev-ery five years following the initial referendum.

The previous request for referendum was held in 2009. Only eligible soybean producers wishing to re-quest a referendum on the order participate. Those producers who do not want

a referendum on the order would not participate.

Participating in the re-quest of referendum is vol-untary. Eligible producers participating in the request for referendum must certify that they or the entity they are authorized to repre-sent paid an assessment at some time during January 1, 2012, through December 1, 2013.

USDA would conduct a referendum only if at least 10 percent of all eli-gible soybean producers, no more than one-fifth of which may be soybean pro-ducers in any one state, re-quested a referendum.

This action would amend the procedures to request a referendum by removing the specific number of pro-ducers eligible to request a referendum. The number of producers eligible to re-

quest a referendum would be replaced with language that allows the secretary of agriculture to update this number based on informa-tion provided by FSA.

For the purposes of the 2014 Soybean Request for referendum, the number of eligible soybean produc-ers identified through FSA soybean acreage reports or crop years 2011 and 2012 is 569,998.

Additionally, this rule would replace specific USDA and FSA website and office addresses with more flexible language.

The 70-member United Soybean Board, authorized by the act, administers a co-ordinated soybean promo-tion and research program designed to expand uses of soybeans and soybean products in domestic and foreign markets.

14 THURSDAY • MAY 1, 2014 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNENEWS Youth Launch Commission programs promote youth activities

Programs to safeguard and promote youth ac-tivities and advance senior volunteerism spring out to six southern Iowa com-munities from the Youth Launch Commission, which is located in the lower level of Graceland University’s Frederick Madison Smith Library. The six counties served include Clarke, De-catur, Lucas, Ringgold, Union, and Wayne Coun-ties.

The mission of the Youth Launch Commission is to “strengthen the culture of positive youth develop-ment and civic engagement in Southern Iowa through education, volunteerism and service.”

“Graceland University is proud to work with the Youth Launch Commis-sion,” said Greg Sutherland, executive director of affili-ate relations at Graceland University. “We understand that there is nothing more important than to foster the positive growth of the next generation so that they have successful and rewarding lives.”

Sutherland has respon-sibility for program devel-opment with Graceland’s various partners. The Youth Launch Commission is one example of his oversight.

Just recently reorganized, the Youth Launch Commis-sion, which is directed by Ju-lie Neas, includes four pro-grams. Neas oversees one of these programs, Youth Launch Leaders, which seeks to empower adults to create healthy, nurturing, and supportive environ-ments for youth in Southern Iowa.

Another program, Amer-iCorps Youth Launch, di-rected by Shannon Harris, provides opportunities for students to lead successful, rewarding and productive lives.

AmeriCorps members build valuable developmen-tal assets, instill civic en-gagement, and help young people find the “sparks” that ignite their passions in life.

The Volunteer Center of Southern Iowa, lead by Amanda Edsall, strives to meet area needs and provide opportunities to strengthen community connected-ness through volunteerism. RSVP of Southern Iowa, lead by Jesse Bolinger, uti-lizes the skills, experiences, and talents of people 55 and over to serve in a variety of volunteer activities.

“We are fortunate to live in some amazing commu-nities,” Neas said, “These

communities not only be-lieve in themselves but also believe in paving the way for their youth and provid-

ing fulfilling opportunities for their seniors. So many people have worked tire-lessly to put together the

Youth Launch Commission, and we owe them so much for their efforts.”

Congressman Dave Loe-bsack, D-Iowa, announced that online voting to select the 2014 People’s Choice Award to represent Iowa’s Second Congressional Dis-trict in the Congressional art contest has now begun.

This year, Loebsack’s of-fice received a record 167 entries from 13 different
