OST photo by AMY HANSENDan Shane with the University of Iowa’s Department of Health Management and Policy discusses the Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare,” during a business leadership network luncheon and community forum Nov. 12 at Clarke County Fairgrounds event center.
Affordable Care Act: What should you know? Health forum held at fairgrounds’ event center By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as “Obamacare,” is here to stay, but it’s implementation has had its ups and downs.
A business leadership network luncheon and community forum was held Nov. 12 at Clarke County Fairgrounds event center to discuss health care. It was hosted by the University of Iowa College of Public Health.
Sue Curry, dean of the University of Iowa College of Public Health, at-tended the forum and introduced the keynote speaker. Approximately 35 other people were also in attendance.
The event’s keynote speaker was Dan Shane, who joined the Univer-sity of Iowa’s Department of Health
Management and Policy in 2012.Shane gave a broad overview of
the Affordable Care Act, as well as insight to its effects on businesses in rural Iowa and small communities.
Information on the ACA given by Shane includes:
• The ACA and its patient pro-tection became effective March 23, 2010.
• Shane said the primary goal of the ACA is to increase health care to the public.
• Under the ACA, people 26 and under may stay on their parent’s in-surance plan. Shane said 8 to 10 mil-lion children and young adults have gained health-care coverage since the provision was implemented. He said this provision has been “very successful.”
• Reports that refer to the “Mar-ketplace” may mean the ACA web-
site www.healthcare.gov. People may also access coverage through a phone number and some offices lo-cated across the country. However, Shane said access to health care through the website depends on the “glitch of the day.” The ACA rollout has been troubled with website prob-lems on www.healthcare.gov.
• According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the ACA guarantees that all Ameri-cans – regardless of their health sta-tus or pre-existing conditions – willhave access to health coverage. En-rollment has already begun and cov-erage will start in 2014. “Being a woman was a pre-existing condition. The ACA has done away with that,” Shane said.
CCRC discusses legal process, water level at West Lake By AMY HANSEN OST news editor • [email protected]
Clarke County Reser-voir Commission (CCRC) is playing the waiting game while going through the le-gal process for its Squaw Creek watershed project.
During a Nov. 14 CCRC meeting, Dave Beck, project coordinator for CCRC’s res-ervoir project, used a Civil War analogy to describe the legal-process period. He described Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and the siege at Vicksburg in 1863.
“He (Grant) announced that after a fairly quick cam-paign through Mississippi, they settled down in front of Vicksburg, Miss., and started a siege. He said, ‘I propose to outcamp them,’” Beck said. “We’re kind of in this ‘outcamping’ stage, I guess. We have to work through the paper and the
process. That’s happening. We’re doing our best to make sure everything stays on time.”

Nov. 14 Clarke County Reservoir C o m m i s s i o n meeting, it was reported the water level at West Lake is 34 inches below the spillway.
Patterson’s predictions : What does winter weather have in store for West Lake? By AMY HANSEN OST news editor • [email protected]
“It’s kind of a coin toss,” said Osceola Water Superin-tendent Brandon Patterson when he discussed weather predictions and water levels at West Lake with Osceola Sentinel-Tribune.
Last year, at this time, West Lake was 48.5 inches below the spillway. During a Clarke County Reservoir Commission board meeting Nov. 14, it was announced West Lake was currently 34 inches below the spillway.
Water levels for the next couple of months will de-pend on snow fall, snow melt and spring rains, Pat-terson said.
“Last year, the snow melt
didn’t really play a big part, it was the rainfall that we got in the spring,” Patterson said. “Either way, we want to try to get the precipita-tion slow. So, if we could get the snow melt, and then we have those gradual melts, that helps fill that lake up slowly. Or, in the spring, we could get the rainfall slowly. It’s beneficial either way.”
According to Patterson, if there is a large, fast rainfall, it fills the lake quickly, but it also fills it with nutrients, which creates severe algae problems in the summer.
“I think, compared to last year, we’re in better shape than we were,” Patterson said. “But, it all just depends on the winter snows, and, obviously, the spring rains.”

Sweeney presents results of first soccer survey By AMY HANSENOST news editor • [email protected]
The results are in — kind of.
After an Oct. 28 Clarke school board meeting, Ryan Sweeney, Clarke activities d i r e c t o r , put out a survey on s t a r t i n g a soccer p r o g r a m at Clarke C o m m u -nity High School.
D u r i n g a Nov. 11 board meeting, Sweeney said he got 305 re-sponses. However, he was only able to access 100 of the results.
Then, Sweeney sent out another survey for Clarke students, but not all of those results were in by the board meeting.
“Basically, what I’m tell-ing you is it’s sort of in-complete at the moment,” Sweeney said. “I’ve had about 30 responses from our freshman, sophomores and juniors. I haven’t had any from the seventh- and eighth-graders because they just got theirs back today (Nov. 11).”
50-50Sweeney discussed the re-
sults from first survey with the 100 accessible responses. He said the responses he had were “fifty-fifty.”

Emergency personnel attend grain-bin rescue class
HUMESTON — More than 60 fire and EMS (emer-gency management services) personnel from 16 agencies in Wayne, Decatur, Clarke, Lucas and Appanoose coun-ties attended a grain-bin rescue class Nov. 9 and 10 at Humeston Fire Station.
Humeston Fire Depart-ment received a grant from DuPont-Pioneer to pur-chase a rescue bin tube to aid emergency crews in the rescue of someone trapped in a grain bin.
“A call of this type will in-volve a lot of people,” said Humeston Chief Greg Wat-sabaugh. “So, we wanted everyone to be on the same page in this type of situa-tion.”
Humeston is the only de-partment in the area with this equipment, and is will-ing to assist any other agency
in the area if the need arises.Don Ashenfelton of Pro-
fessional Rescue Innova-tions was the instructor for six-hour class “Caught in the Grain,” which was pre-sented twice so more area emergency responders could attend.
“We had a lot of good comments,” said Wat-sabaugh.
Humeston Fire Depart-ment extends their apprecia-tion to to DuPont-Pioneer for the grant to purchase the tube; Humeston businesses MFA Ag for providing the grain for the training; Agri-Land FS, South Central Coop, and Insurance Con-nection for making the meal served each day possible; and Wayne County Emer-gency Management for the DeWalt drill to be used with equipment.

Time for winter ordinancesBy MARTY DUFFUSOsceola police chief
The completion of this ar-ticle means only one thing — winter is imminent. For most of us, it seems this isn’t re-ally good news. However, we have made the choice to stay here, so we must be willing to tolerate it, at least.
During the winter, many of us like and need to stay abreast of weather forecasts and current road conditions.
Here in Osceola, when the snow emergency or snow or-dinance is enacted, the po-lice department notifies the public by using the following sources — Osceola Police Facebook page, Nixle alerts (if not subscribed to Nixle you should be — ask us how), city of Osceola and Osceola Sentinel-Tribune websites, KSOI, KSIB and WHO, ra-dio as well as television chan-nels WOI, KCCI, WHO and Fox. We also utilize the mes-sage board at American State Bank’s motor bank on the square.
In Osceola, a snow emer-gency is in effect, “whenever the National Weather Service predicts that two or more inches of snow or ice will fall in the Osceola area or two or more inches of snow or ice has fallen in the Osceola area.”
The emergency will con-tinue through the duration of the snow or ice storm, and for a 48-hour period after the
storm ends.When a snow emergency is
in effect, three special rules go into effect for everyone within the city of Osceola. These rules address parking restrictions, snow removal re-strictions and a time specific rule for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks.
When a snow emergency goes into effect in Osceola, a citywide parking ban goes into effect.
The parking ban states no one can park, abandon or otherwise leave unattended any vehicle on a public street, in an alley or parking areas in the public right-of-way and immediately adjacent to the traveled portion of a street.
This ban is in effect un-til the street, alley or public parking areas have been com-pletely plowed — meaning more than just one trip down the street — the snow or ice storm has stopped or the ban has been lifted by the chief of
police or the street superin-tendent.
If a vehicle is left in any of the described places while the emergency is in effect, the vehicle will be ticketed and is subject to impound at the owner’s expense.
The second rule that goes into effect governs snow re-moval from residential and commercial driveways, park-ing lots or other areas requir-ing snow removal.
Again, the ordinance pro-hibits throwing, pushing or placing of snow onto a public street, alley or public parking areas from private property, sidewalks or driveways. This applies to residents and com-mercial snow pushers.
Those who are observed placing snow into a street or alley can be forced to remove it at their expense or given a citation.
The final rule that goes into effect is the clearing of sidewalks. By city ordinance, property owners are required to remove snow and ice accu-mulations from the sidewalk within 48 hours of the end of the storm. Failure to comply may result in the city clear-ing the sidewalk and assessing the costs against the property owner.
Thank you for reading this. I hope you were informed. If you have any questions please either call or stop by the po-lice department and we’ll try to answer them.

who helped in the planning.The event was very well done
and meaningful to all the veter-ans and their families. I was very impressed by the students who were attentive and respectful, and I thank Clarke Community School for this service.

• Beginning in 2014, most people are required to have health coverage, or fees will have to be paid for not having coverage.
What effects will the ACA have in Iowa?
• Shane said some rural areas may only have one insurance provider of-fering health coverage via the “Mar-ketplace.”
• Starting in 2014, there will be tax credits for small businesses with 50 or fewer employees, Shane said.
• The ACA has a small business health options program (SHOP) through the “Marketplace” for small businesses with under 50 full-time equivalent employees.
• Shane said the vast majority (more than 95 percent) of small busi-nesses in Iowa have 50 or fewer em-ployees.
• Shane said, “Smaller employers are much less likely to offer cover-age,” and, “Smaller companies are also facing higher increases in their health-care policy, so they’re feeling the pinch much more than the large companies. These trends are making it much more difficult for small em-ployees.”
What’s the current status?
The glitches and problems with people signing up for health cover-age through www.healthcare.gov are starting to show in enrollment.
According to a Nov. 13 report from U.S. Department of Health and Hu-man Services, 106,185 people nation-wide have signed up for health care through the ACA “Marketplace” since Oct. 1. The reporting period is Oct. 1 through Nov. 2.
This is significantly less than the 500,000-person goal the White House was reportedly hoping for.
New figures from the department showed the bulk of those enrollees — nearly 75 percent, or 79,391 people — signed up through state-run websites that serve 14 states and the District of Columbia. The report said that Cali-fornia led the nation, with more than 35,364 enrollees.
As for Iowa, the report said the number of individuals who have se-lected a “Marketplace” plan is 136. There are 290 other selections pend-ing.
In Iowa, the total number of com-pleted applications is 5,547 and total individuals applying for coverage in completed applications is 10,884.
Information from U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Services contributed to this article.

“Fifty percent had medium to high interest and 50 percent had low to no interest,” he said. “What I did see through the surveys that I’ve looked at, is there seems to be a higher in-terest in our female population, just from briefly looking at the statistics from the freshman, sophomores and juniors.”
Sweeney said he spoke with offi-cials from Osceola Parks and Recre-ation department. The officials told him there were strong numbers in the community’s soccer program for youths.
Coaches?However, there is a struggle to
find enough coaches for the sport.
“They didn’t have any firm recom-mendations on somebody they could say would want to start the pro-gram,” Sweeney said. “I have per-sonally talked to a handful of kids who have been interested in soccer, and they really didn’t have any di-rection on who could spearhead it.”
The rest of the results of the sur-veys from Clarke students are ex-pected to be in soon, Sweeney said, and an update will most likely be given to the school board in Decem-ber.
“I think we have interest, but, I think we need to have somebody to drive it,” Sweeney said. “We’ve had people to drive some of our other clubs, but, right now, I guess haven’t run into that person, yet.”

that will provide a water sup-ply for Osceola and Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) with an 816-acre lake in Clarke County.
The reservoir project could provide 2.2 million gallons of water per day. The total proj-ect cost for the reservoir is esti-mated at $37.6 million. Funding for the project includes many sources, especially funding from local option sales taxes (LOST).
Right now, CCRC is going through the process of declara-tory judgment with the water-shed project.
Declaratory judgment is a court review for acquiring land for a public project. It autho-rizes CCRC to purchase land from voluntary sellers and exer-cise eminent domain for invol-untary sellers within the area of the watershed project.
March 10A court date in Clarke Coun-
ty was set for March 10 to de-termine if CCRC can authorize declaratory judgment in its wa-tershed project.
Currently, CCRC meets ev-ery other month until the court dates with the legal process ap-proach. The next CCRC meet-ing is scheduled Jan. 9.
However, if an issue arises within that time period, another board meeting could be sched-uled.
34 inchesOne reason CCRC is under-
taking its reservoir project is West Lake, the current water source for Clarke County and SIRWA, has issues with meet-ing the needs of the public. This is evident during years of drought, which occurred in 2012 and 2013.
Sandy Kale, CCRC board member who represents Osceo-la Water Board, said the water level at West Lake is 34 inches below the spillway.

Iowa Association for Justice (IAJ) installs new officers
DES MOINES — Iowa Associa-tion for Justice (IAJ) installed new executive officers and members of its board of governors during its annual convention Nov. 7-8 in Des Moines.
IAJ’s newly installed leaders will serve the 2013-14 term. IAJ also honored its 2013 award winners and donated to a local charity through its
Justice In Deed community service initiative.
Members were elected to positions on the Board of Governors from the various judicial subdistricts of the state. Election balloting took place during the run-up to the convention.
Robert W. Reynoldson of Osceola was elected from Judicial Subdistrict 5B.
Shopping for a better night’s sleep(BPT) — Mattress shopping
isn’t a matter to take lying down. The average American spends three full years sleeping on each mattress they buy. A mattress is the single most important fac-tor in achieving the quality sleep that is crucial to a high quality of life.
There are a number of steps anyone can take before and dur-ing the mattress shopping pro-cess that will demystify what can be an overwhelming experience. Following these tips will have you sleeping soundly on your new mattress in no time.
Define what type of sleeper you are
Knowing how you sleep is the first step in identifying the best
mattress for you. People who sleep on their backs will need more lumbar support, while side sleepers will have to consider pressure points down their body and may prefer a more plush feel. For those who sleep on their front, firmness is key to ensure the back isn’t bent too much.
Have a realistic budgetA discount model typically
doesn’t provide everything you need from a mattress. Go on-line before you go shopping and take a look at the price ranges for quality mattresses. Try out a comparison tool, like the one Sealy offers at compare.sealy.com. Think of a mattress as a long-term investment and, in the end, you’ll be paying just a
few cents each night for a restful night’s sleep.
Banish the mattress mythsFirmness doesn’t define sup-
port and softness doesn’t define comfort. Sinking deep into a bed might be great for one person, but may leave another person folded over by morning. There is no “fix all” mattress type.
Dress for the occasion and re-member your pillow
Wear loose, comfortable clothing, slip-on shoes and avoid filling your pockets. You want to be able to lie on the bed in the position you find most comfort-able without worrying about what you’re wearing. Also, you should bring your own pillow to simulate a real night’s sleep.

More than 25 million Americans have diabetes. Diabetes happens when hor-mones in the blood, or insulin, are unable to efficiently convert blood sugar into en-ergy. High amounts of sugar remaining in the blood can lead to serious medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, stroke, nerve damage and toe and foot amputations. Therefore, my goal is to help people with diabetes maintain normal levels of sugar in the blood to ward off unwanted health complications.
Diabetes can go unknown in a person and in many cases have no symptoms. That’s why the American Diabetes Asso-ciation (ADA) recommends all adults age 45 and older be screened by their primary care provider every three years. Here are other factors that may increase your risks for diabetes:
• Having a family history of diabetes• Being overweight• Not exercising regularly• Having high blood pressure• For mothers, birthing a child that
weighs more than 9 lbs.Managing diabetes is a lifestyle change.
To stay healthy, people with diabetes must modify daily habits that include diet, ex-ercise and medications. As the Certified Diabetes Educator at Clarke County Hos-pital, I personally assist individuals and their family on how to successfully self-manage the disease through small, attain-able goals. These goals range from starting an exercise plan to scheduling meal times during the day.
Managing diabetes is also a team effort. I work with your primary care physician
so you receive the best possible treatment plan. With an order from your provider, I am able to provide Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring (CGM), a unique tool that captures glucose levels at crucial points during the day: before and during exercise, prior to driving and in the mid-dle of the night. This data gives a detailed look of how your body uses glucose, al-lowing your physician to make personal-ized recommendations on ways you can best manage your diabetes.
Available to the public, the Clarke County Hospital Diabetes Education Center offers classes for popular diabetes topics, including foot care, stress manage-ment, insulin administration and food la-bel reading.
Living with diabetes doesn’t mean you have to deal with it alone. I am available as a resource to help improve your life. For questions and more information on di-abetes, you can call me at (641) 342-5348.
Valerie Knedler, ARNP, is the Certified Diabetes Educator at the Clarke County Hospital Diabetes Education Center. She received her Master’s Degree in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from the University of South Alabama in 2005. She became a Certified Diabetes Educator in 2009 and a Certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse in 2012.

Walk-a-thons are major fundraisers for many chari-ties, and breast cancer re-search and development is one of the top beneficiaries of this popular and increas-ingly star-studded activ-ity. Just ask breast cancer survivors and fundraising veterans Sheryl Crow, Edie Falco, Cynthia Nixon and Robin Roberts, who have helped various breast can-cer organizations raise mil-lions of dollars. From 2003 to 2011, the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer raised more than $420 million. But the (non-trans-fat) icing on the (carrot) cake is that the act of walking itself actually re-duces your risk of develop-ing breast cancer.
A recent American Can-cer Society study looked at 73,000 women over the course of 17 years and found that, whatever your weight, walking about 3 miles in 60 minutes every day is solidly linked to lower breast can-cer rates.
We say do it five to seven days a week, and aim for 10,000 steps a day! And as you go further and get stron-ger, pick up the pace. Stride out for three hours a week, and you moderately reduce your risk; hoof it seven hours a week, and you slash the risk of breast cancer by 14 percent compared with those who walk three hours or less a week. But here’s our favorite: If you start out walking seven hours a week and then ramp up your ac-tivity level so that you’re really breaking a sweat with fast walking, aerobics, run-ning or dancing, you cut your breast cancer risk by an astounding 25 percent. Now, that’s doing more than talking the talk!
MASTERS (AND
JOHNSON) OF SEXIn the opening episode
of “Masters of Sex,” the new series detailing the re-search and personal life of 1950s sex researchers Wil-liam Masters and Virginia Johnson, Dr. Masters tells an uninhibited study sub-ject: “Think of yourself as Sir Edmund Hillary leaving base camp.”
Since then, we’ve learned a lot about what makes sparks fly and what damp-ens desire:
—High heels can inter-fere with a woman’s orgasm. While shoe designer Chris-tian Louboutin may claim the arch of his heels repli-cates the arch of a woman’s back in the throes ... those sky-high perches actually trigger chronic contraction of pelvic floor muscles. That means there’s less muscle motion during orgasm — and less sensation as a re-sult.
—A couple of drinks may loosen you up, but alcohol can dehydrate, and that dampens (how ironic) or-gasms for women and men. Good hydration positively affects semen volume, vagi-nal lubrication and muscle tone and contraction.
—You may gobble bar food on date night, but what you need to keep blood flowing (essential for erec-tion and orgasm) and to re-duce inflammation (which can cause aches and pains that make intimacy difficult) is nutrition and muscle pow-er. So take half a multivita-min twice a day; 900 IU of
DHA fish or algal oil daily; and eat foods that deliver the recommended daily al-lowance for 19- to 50-year-olds of calcium (1000 mg), magnesium (310-400 mg) and zinc (8-11 mg). And keep blood vessels flexible by taking 10,000 steps a day and getting 30 minutes a week of resistance exercises.
Now who’s the master of sex?
BEWARE ATHLETE’S FOOD AND BEVERAGE ENDORSEMENTS!
Children 12-17 are the No. 1 viewers of athlete-spon-sored food commercials. So what are top sports figures selling this impressionable audience? Mostly junk. In 2010, nearly 80 percent of athlete-endorsed food prod-ucts were energy-dense and nutrient-poor —and more than 93 percent of athlete-endorsed beverages got 100 percent of their calories from added sugar.
If you wonder why people who value physical health above all else would push disease-causing foods to kids, well, the facts speak for themselves.
In 2010, Maria Sharapova raked in millions of dol-lars from her own line of gummies called Sugarpova. Isn’t that swe-e-e-et! Kobe Bryant earned around $12 million endorsing drive-thru burgers. Serena Wil-liams hauled in tens of mil-lions of dollars for serving up sweet words for cookies and other nutritional night-mares. But it’s LeBron James who wins the title of
Junk-Food-Ad-Man-Ex-traordinaire (JFAME)! He earned around $45 million for endorsing a whole menu of bad-for-you foods, bever-ages and chewing gum. (If he really eats this stuff him-self, did it hinder his perfor-mance enough to delay his winning a championship by a year?)
But luckily, Mom and Dad, you can help kids re-sist these nutritional bombs. Most importantly, you can become the star who in-spires your child by making good nutrition and regular physical activity a part of everyday life. Talk to your children about how “buy this junk” messages aren’t kid-friendly. Explain that an athlete may deserve re-spect for accomplishing major feats in sports, but that doesn’t mean he or she has any credibility when it comes to suggesting what you should eat for breakfast. Chew on that!
ARE YOU DRINKING TOO MUCH WITHOUT KNOWING IT?
As the alcohol-loving Nick Charles said in “The Thin Man,” “The problem with putting two and two to-gether is that sometimes you get four, and sometimes you get 22.” And that’s precise-ly what researchers found when they decided to look into how much wine people actually drink when they have “a glass or two.”
A serving of wine is, ac-cording to the National In-stitute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, five ounces. With wine glasses common-ly ranging from 12-24 ounc-es, it’s easy to pour yourself two servings at once. And a new study found glass size isn’t the only thing that in-fluences how much you
pour: If you’re holding the glass in your hand, you pour more; if it’s sitting on a ta-ble, less; and you pour more white than red wine into a clear glass.
But it pays to get it right. The risks of excessive drink-ing (three to five glasses of wine a day) include de-mentia and Alzheimer’s, liver disease, cardiovascular problems, high blood pres-sure, pancreatitis and breast cancer.
The benefits of drinking just one 5-ounce glass a day for women and two a day for men? Fewer heart attacks and strokes, less precancer-ous skin lesions and a lower risk of prostate cancer, os-teoporosis, Type 1 diabetes and Alzheimer’s (by 23 per-cent).
Do white wine and Cham-pagne confer the same ben-efits as red? Possibly, since it’s the alcohol in modera-tion that’s protective. FYI: Think resveratrol in red wine is what’s good for you? You’d have to drink 100 bottles to take in a benefi-cial amount!
GETTING RID OF HIDDEN HOUSEHOLD HAZARDS
Ever since Edgar Alan Poe wrote “The Telltale Heart,” people have been worried about what menace might be lurking, unseen, in their homes (just think of this year’s “The Con-juring”). But there’s noth-ing supernatural about the menaces hiding in your dish-washer and vacuum cleaner. Luckily, you can exorcise them pretty easily.
One new study found that 62 percent of dishwashers harbor mold, and half of those had black fungus-like yeast (Exophiala) that can make you sick — trigger-
ing headaches, respiratory and neurological problems. In dishwashers, it’s the rub-ber gasket around the door that’s a breeding ground for harmful organisms. Over time, debris can collect in and on it — it’s not washed out during a cycle. Make sure you wash under it once a week with a regular house-hold cleaner. Also check spinning arms for debris blocking the water holes, and clean around the drain in the bottom of the ma-chine. Use a standard dish-washer cleanser monthly.
And then there’s your vacuum cleaner, which can spew molds and harmful bacteria. Even if yours has a HEPA filter (they don’t always block potential aller-gens and bacteria), vacuum-ing kicks up debris, includ-ing bacteria, mold and dust mites detritus. This may be why Environmental Protec-tion Agency studies show pollutant levels in the home are two to five times higher than outside! Your best bet to contain these potential troublemakers: Use microfi-ber or electrostatic — never feather — dusters; change your vacuum’s HEPA filter regularly; get rid of old car-pets; and wash area rugs and behind and under furniture weekly.

Five tips to avoid holiday weight gain
(BPT) — Who doesn’t love the smell of a warm kitchen during the holidays? They’re designed around food and bringing family, old friends and new friends together. However, holidays can also be a detriment to your healthy lifestyle and cause you to lose your focus through the end of the year.
But they don’t have to.“Think of fall as the per-
fect time to reassess the state of your health and prep for the challenges of the holiday season,” says Alicia Rodri-guez, corporate registered dietician at Life Time - The Health Way of Life Com-pany. “When it comes to nu-trition and avoiding weight gain, my motto is, keep it simple and easy.”
Here are some tips to help you do the same.
Bulk up your plate with protein and vegetables
The side dishes at most holiday meals are often as good as the turkey or ham, but stuffing and mashed po-tatoes aren’t the best way to fill your plate. One way to avoid-weight gain is to build your plate with protein. This should be easy since holi-day dinners revolve around meat. Second, fill your plate with side dishes that include vegetables. You may have a
little spot left on your plate - use this space for your “in-dulgence.” When you look at your plate, the goal is that the majority is still providing you with good nutrients and reduced carbohydrates.
Use the “fork” trickMany of us go back for
seconds, and even third helpings at holiday meals. This year, focus on asking yourself if you’re enjoying your food. To help you an-swer this question, use the fork trick. Once you take a bite of food, place your fork down on the plate and let it go. Chew your food, swallow and then pick it up again. The key to this trick is letting go of the fork. This will remind you to slow down, enjoy your food and converse with friends and family.
Avoid the clean plate clubGrowing up, many of us
were always told “You can’t leave the table until you finish everything on your plate” and inevitably, we spent many nights sitting alone at the dinner table. These days, Rodriguez ad-vises her clients to eat un-til they are full and, if their plate is not clean, it’s OK. Focus on one plate of food, slow down and be careful
not to overeat. Overfeed-ing is never really a healthy thing to do.
Share your dessert with a loved one
After a satisfying meal, it is hard to avoid the sweet smells of pumpkin -or warm apple pie. If you choose not to skip dessert, share a small slice with a loved one or new friend. If you are hosting, designate one family mem-ber to bring dessert to limit the endless selection of pies and reduce the urge to over indulge.
Make like a turkey and trot out the door
Start your holiday with a new tradition this year and gather the family to do something active. Take a walk to a local park, put together a family friendly flag football game, rake the leaves up in the yard (and jump into them) or encour-age the family to sign up for a run/walk event such as the Life Time Turkey Day 5K or Commitment Day 2014.
Holidays are a time to be thankful for family, friends and everything in between. Savor the moment, re-ally take time to taste your food, get out and have some fun, and avoid the-holiday weight gain.

7OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 21, 2013NEWS FFA members compete in livestock judging career development event
On Oct.1, seven mem-bers of Osceola Big Chief FFA Chapter traveled to Northwest Missouri State University to compete in the fall career development event contest of livestock judging.
Career development events are competitive
events geared toward hav-ing students apply what they have learned in the classroom to real life situ-ations.
Students can choose to be involved in a variety of contests that fit their inter-est and experience. They had to judge eight classes of
both breeding and market cattle, sheep, and swine.
One of the classes fo-cused on feeder-cattle grading. In this class, the students had to determine the muscle thickness and frame size of each calf.
The contestants also had to give three sets of oral
reasons; one of beef, sheep and swine. Oral reasons are a way for the competitors to explain their placings to a judge.
This contest helps im-prove the participant’s abil-ity to select the ideal mar-ket and breeding animal, as well as improving public
speaking skills and being confident in themselves.
The Osceola team includ-ed Weston Brokaw, Dusty Willke, Kooper Brimm, Jake Manternach, Gabe Crawford, Skylar Johnson and Kaitlyn Boyer.
Osceola Big Chief FFA team placed 11th out of
a total of 76 teams from Missouri and Iowa. Kait-lyn Boyer was honored to receive the overall highest placing individual out of a total of 323 individual par-ticipants. She received a medal and a $250 scholar-ship to Northwest Missouri State University.

Tips for stress-free holiday meals (BPT) — Holiday meals are
often the highlights of the sea-son, as nothing beats makingmemories with friends and family over delicious food and good wine.
However, planning the per-fect get-together can be dif-ficult and even stressful. Be-tween deciding on the perfect menu, finding complementing beverages, grocery shopping and decorating your house with holiday cheer, it’s diffi-cult to prepare to host a gath-ering that will be remembered long after the holiday lights are packed away for the year.
To help you get through this holiday season seam-lessly, Tom Colicchio, chef/owner of Craft Restaurants
and head judge on Top Chef is sharing his tips for planning an effortless holiday meal that will knock your guests’ socks off. After all, entertaining and cooking for loved ones should be fun, not feared.
1) Plan ahead and prep. Colicchio advised home cooks take a page from professional chefs who live and die by their “mise en place” - a fancy term for having all ingredientsprepped and ready to go. Chop all the ingredients ahead of time - dice veggies or nuts and grate the cheese the day before. You won’t even have to pick up your knife the day of your event until it’s time to carve the meat, freeing up much more of your time to
enjoy your friends and family.2) Simplify your menu.
Holiday menus can get out of control with a dozen side dishes, but Colicchio said it’s no less special if you stream-line to just a few. Colicchio’s recipe for stewed apricots and fennel with ricotta, pistachios and black pepper from the Bing Food and Drink app is memorable, but fairly simple and much of it can be done in advance. Best of all, you don’t need to be afraid to bring the Bing Food and Drink app right into the kitchen thanks to the unique hands-free fea-ture. Just activate hands-free mode in the app and seam-lessly flip through each step of a recipe by waving your hand
in front of the screen to avoid making a mess of your tablet.
3) Start with the ingredi-ents, not the recipe. Feel-ing inspired by seasonal ingredients or memories of holidays past tied to specific flavors? Colicchio said when it comes to ingredients, if it grows together it goes to-gether. He recommended stopping by a farmers mar-ket and starting with fresh, seasonal ingredients, then searching by those ingredi-ents within the Bing Food & Drink app for Windows — which houses hundredsof thousands of recipes from renowned chefs like him, plus sites like Epicurious, Food52 and others.

8 THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 21, 2013 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNENEWS Twenty-fourth annual Community Foundation Week held
Recently, local commu-nity foundations will joined more than 750 community foundations across America for the 24th Annual Com-munity Foundation Week to tell the stories of lives changed, jobs created and communities transformed through philanthropy’s partnership with private and public community leaders and organizations.
This year, Iowa’s commu-nity foundations have sev-eral reasons to celebrate.
Iowa is unique because it has two legislated pro-grams focused on increasing philanthropic activity to en-hance the quality of life for Iowans. Both programs — the Endow Iowa Tax Credit Program and the County Endowment Fund Program — are implemented through local community founda-tions.
Key anniversary – and ex-pansion
The year 2013 is the 10th anniversary of the creation of the Endow Iowa Tax Credit program – an anni-versary marked by an ex-pansion of the program.
During the past legisla-tive session, the annual tax-credit limit was raised from $4.5 million to $6 million per calendar year.
The Endow Iowa Tax Credit is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis for gifts made to a permanent endowment fund, estab-lished for the benefit of Iowa charitable causes, at a qualified community foun-dation.
The tax credits are uti-lized by a wide range of
donors and can be claimed by individuals, businesses or financial institutions. Since 2003, more than $115 million has been invested in community foundations through Endow Iowa. The program is administered by the Iowa Economic Devel-opment Authority (IEDA) in collaboration with the Iowa Council of Founda-tions (ICoF).
Continued support for Iowa counties
In 2013, more than $11.2 million dollars was distrib-uted to 85 community foun-dations and their county affiliates across the state through the County Endow-ment Fund Program.
The County Endowment Fund program is funded with 0.8 percent of the state’s commercial gaming tax revenue.
These funds are distrib-uted annually among par-ticipating foundations and affiliates associated with counties without a state-is-sued gaming license.
This year, program par-ticipants received approxi-mately $132,000. Of that amount, the recipients will grant 75 percent (approxi-mately $99,000) directly to local nonprofits to support their work. The remaining 25 percent (approximately $33,000) will be added to each funds’ unrestricted en-dowment to provide a per-manent source of funding for future giving.
Local asset growthAccording to the ICoF,
community foundations across the state reported more than $110 million in
total asset growth between June 2012 and June 2013.
The collective assets of Iowa community founda-tions grew to approximately $653 million in June 2013, up from $543 million in June 2012. This represents growth of 20 percent in just 12 months.
South Central Iowa Com-munity Foundation (SCICF) is a local community foun-dation, serving Clarke, De-catur, Lucas, Ringgold and Union counties, and sup-porting our affiliate coun-ties — Adams, Appanoose and Wayne.
SCICF’s total assets are more than $13 million and the annual grants awarded and educational scholar-ships funded exceeded $1 million last year.
Community foundations represent one of the fastest-
growing forms of philan-thropy. Every state in the United States is home to at least one community foun-dation — large and small, urban and rural — that is advancing solutions to a wide range of social issues. Iowa’s community founda-tion infrastructure includes approximately 130 commu-nity foundations.
About Community Foun-dation Week
Launched in 1989 through a proclamation by former President George H.W. Bush, the first Community Foundation Week included a congressional briefing about the work of commu-nity foundations throughout America and their collab-orative approach to working
with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address community problems.
For more information, visit www.iowacounciloff-oundations.org. Learn more at www.scicf.org. SCICF board members represent-ing Clarke County are Lori Borcherding, Jason Gibbs, Dennis Jeter, Mellony Kl-emesrud and Melissa Snell.

Perry Noble tells the following story:Friday mornings are my sleep in day. So, this past Fri-
day I got up, began brewing coffee and then listened for the noises in the house that would lead me to ‘Cretia, my wife, and Charisse, my daughter.
After playing with them for a few minutes, we walked downstairs where I poured myself a cup of java and walked with the girls into the restroom where Charisse proceeded to brush her teeth.
I gave ‘Cretia a kiss and told her I was going to read my Bible and pray for a while and walked down the hall towards my destination, until I heard little footsteps be-hind me.
When I turned around Charisse was running after me — toothbrush in hand— and when I made eye contact with her she smiled and said, “Da-da!”
All of a sudden I forgot what I was doing. I stopped, scooped her up and we played for a while. I had to — what daddy can resist it?
It’s a simple story. One that many of us could recount in our own lives in some way or another. So, if I may, I want to make two observations:
First: It is so important to press the pause button on life to spend time with the ones we love the most.
Face it. Life is busy. No, life is too busy. I have a prob-lem saying, “No.”
I’m going to guess that some of you have that same problem. But, when we can, it’s so important to have
some time with the kids. They grow up fast. We al-ways hear that, but it is still true!
My son was in fifth grade last week, and now, he’s a college graduate living in an-other city. My daughter was in fourth grade last week, and now, she’s finished her master’s degree and is pursu-ing her career in music com-position.
It’s important for us to take the time to invest into our kids’ lives. Granted, we may have to miss an event from time to time, but whenever you can spend some time with the ones you love the most, do it.
Second: Just like Perry had time for his daughter, God has time for you.
Here’s what Jesus said in Matthew 11:28: “Keep com-pany with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
He’s never too busy. You don’t have to e-mail him or call his secretary to get on his schedule. He has time.
In fact, his eyes are on us even when our eyes aren’t on him. There is never a need or a hurt that bothers him. He always has time for us. Feeling great? He’s got time to listen and celebrate with you. Feeling down? He’s got time to listen and be there and comfort you.
Let me encourage you; spend time with the ones you love, and spend time with God. Those are a couple of decisions you will never regret.
Taking the time

10 THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 21, 2013 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNESPORTS Bemis signs with Minnesota State
By SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]
Clarke senior Libby Bemis has the stressful part done with, and now she can concen-trate on the rest of her senior year.
Bemis signed a National Letter of Intent on Friday to continue her softball career at the next level with Division II Minnesota State University in Mankato, Minn.
“It feels a lot less stress-ful,” Bemis said about hav-ing made a decision. “I’m just glad I already know where I’m going and have my plans figured out. I can’t wait to go and start my new year, but I’m ready to finish off this year and see what happens before I get there.”
With Bemis inking her name to go play for the Mav-ericks next year, it was a bit-tersweet day for Clarke head coach Lindsay Diehl.
“This is a sad day and a super exciting day,” Diehl said. “It’s a sad day because it means I only have her for one more season, but a really ex-citing day because she’s pre-paring for the next level she’s going to go play at.”
Diehl said Bemis deserves
the opportunity to go play at the next level with the amount of work she’s put in over the years.
“I remember I was back here coaching the first time before I left to go to Iowa Central, she was a third grad-er out in the bullpen — this tiny, little, chubby blonde girl out there throwing balls to her dad sitting on a bucket,” Diehl said. “So she’s been working hard at this for a long time. She deserves every bit of it.”Easy decision
The decision to go to Min-nesota State came easily for the reigning Class 3A Pitcher of the Year.
After attending a camp at the college, Bemis decided to go back for an official visit.
“I just liked the atmosphere of it,” she said. “It wasn’t too small and it wasn’t too big. The girls on the team were really friendly. I fit in really well, so right when I got to the parking lot, I was like, ‘this is the one, this is where I’m go-ing.”
Bemis had also considered Truman State, Western Il-linois and DMACC, where fellow Clarke teammates Kennedy Crees and Carley
Robins will play next year. They are expected to sign their National Letters of In-tent at a later time.
Diehl said Bemis would be a good fit for any college team based on her knowledge of the game.
“She just has so much pas-sion for the game and she’s been a student of the game,” Diehl said. “She’s one of the most knowledgeable kids of the game of softball that I’ve had the opportunity to coach. It’s like having another coach on the staff.
“I kept telling coaches that - she’s not just a player, she’s a player-coach. She’s intelli-gent. You want the ball in her hand at the very end of the game, because she’s going to make the right choices.”
Bemis said it will be a little different for her playing at Minnesota State, since there are only a couple of players from Iowa on the team. But, she said, her playing style meshes well with the team’s style, so she feels she’ll be a good fit.
She plans to major in el-ementary education at Min-nesota State.

Sweeney, a 5-11, 170-pound senior, made the first team offense as a utility player.
The versatile senior did a little bit of everything for the Clarke offense. Sweeney finished 35-of-101 pass-ing for 446 yards and two t o u c h -d o w n s , r u s h e d 100 times for a t e a m -high 434 yards and 11 touchdowns and also caught four pass-es for 108 yards and one touchdown.
Defensively, Sweeney finished second on the team in tackles with 63 total tackles and recorded a team-high five intercep-tions.
Witt, a 5-11, 160-pound junior, made the first team as a linebacker.
Despite being under-sized for a line-b a c k e r , Witt led the dis-trict in t a c k l e s with 117 t o t a l t a c k l e s , i n c l u d -ing a state-leading 90 total tackles. He also recovered six fumbles this season.
Interstate 35 senior Alex Middleton earned
first team h o n o r s on of-fense as a running b a c k . T h e 5-10, 180 p o u n d s e n i o r carried the ball 207 times for 988 yards and seven touchdowns.
Fellow Interstate 35 senior Briar Vogel was a first team se-l e c t i o n at line-b a c k e r . V o g e l finished with 55 t o t a l tack les , including five solo tack-les for loss. Vogel also finished with an intercep-tion.
Clarke’s 6-6, 270-pound senior Drew Wishon made the second team as an offensive lineman. In-terstate 35 6-2, 240-pound senior Bobby Heilman earned second team de-fensive lineman honors.
Clarke center Damon Helgevold, offensive line-man Nathan Bair and defensive back Gunner Sergeant-Elben earned honorable mention.
The Indians had 14 players earn academic all-district. Those players were Wishon, Yahia Aly, Helgevold, Reed Kale, Ju-nior Morales, Dustan Van Loon, Lane Carson, Ca-leb Hanson, Isaac Lewis, Gable Reece, Sergeant-Elben, Rich Wilkins, Bair and Brandyne Olin.

Final yearBut before Bemis can go
don the purple and yellow of the Mavericks, she still has one final season with the Clarke Lady Indians.
She has lofty goals for this year after helping lead the team to a second-place finish at the state tournament last year.
“Definitely to win confer-ence again,” she said. “And hopefully, and I think we can do it, go back to state and not get the runner-up trophy, but the state championship.”
Diehl also has high hopes for the upcoming season, but knows nothing will come easy for the Lady Indians.
“I really do look forward to this season that’s upcoming,” she said. “I talked about that we’re not coming to work to go get a second-place trophy again. We’re going to have to work twice as hard as we ever have for them to get back there and be successful again this season.”

District auditions for the 281-piece All-State Band, 201-piece All-State Or-chestra and 602-member All-State Chorus were held Saturday, Oct. 26, in Storm Lake, Hampton, Manches-ter, Harlan, Indianola and Fairfield.

resentatives from collegiate and professional music pro-grams.
