On Friday, May 16, Loe-bsack brought his “Our Schools, Our Future” tour to Clarke Community El-ementary School. He held a roundtable with top school district officials in the el-ementary school’s library.
Loebsack was recently chosen to serve as ranking member, the senior most Democrat, of the House Education and Workforce Committee’s Subcommit-tee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education.
The purpose of the round-table and tour throughout Loebsack’s Iowa district is to use the information and ideas gathered and bring what is working in Iowa back to Washington, D.C.
No Child Left BehindOne of Loebsack’s first
main concerns is No Child Left Behind education leg-islation is still operable and in effect in Iowa.
“The question of No Child Left Behind is, one, is it unrealistic? And, I think, yes it is, that by a certain date, 100 percent are going to proficient,” Loebsack
said. “ … Well, you’re not going to have everybody be above average. You’d love to have everybody do well, but statistically, it’s not pos-sible.”
One of Loebsack’s goals is to change from an edu-cational model that is de-pendant on a single test score to one that measures growth so that all students are served.
Loebsack said he wanted to move away from the pu-nitive, or punishing, nature of No Child Left Behind.

“It doesn’t make sense if a school is really hurting, struggling, is going to get a stick and getting beaten down and the punishments that come with it,” Roff said.

Fern Underwood Free Swim At Osceola Parks and
Recreation’s monthly board meeting May 19, the board approved the Fern Under-wood Free Swim series for the summer.
Funded by a grant from Clarke County Development Corporation, this event will provide free swimming from 5:30 to 8 p.m. every Monday night this summer beginning June 2 and ending Aug. 11.
The event carries the name of long-time child advocate Fern Underwood. It is the result of a desire of hers — for every child in Osceola to get a chance to swim, regard-less of their socio-economic background.
The hours, which end at closing, were chosen by Parks and Recreation Director Tim Riddle, so no one would be
asked to leave at the end of the free swim time. Addition-ally, it should be noted when the pool reaches the autho-rized capacity, no one will be admitted unless someone leaves. It will be strictly first come, first admitted to insure everyone enjoys a safe swim.
Summer-long free swim passes can still be applied for at Osceola Senior Center 2-6 p.m. May 28 Those passes are income based.

The 2014-15 school calendarBy Benita GonzalesClarke superintendent
The calendar for the 2014-15 school year is complete and has been board approved.
The calendar committee made the recommendation to the board to cre-ate the calendar based on meeting 1,080 hours of instruction rather than 180 instructional days.
This actually allows more flexibil-ity in the operations of the district, especially if we have numerous in-clement weather days that need to be made up.
I don’t believe this specific change will be noticeable in our everyday op-erations; however, three other calen-dar changes that will affect our fami-lies are as follows:
1. Through much discussion and research with other districts, the deci-sion was made to complete our first semester before Christmas break. We are excited about this decision and feel it will be best practice for our students to complete finals be-fore break. This decision really only affects the secondary students.
2. Spring break will be uninter-rupted — so those of you that want to plan that spring break “get away”
in advance; you may do so without worrying that your plans may have to change due to “make up” days during spring break.
3. Probably the most noticeable change to our calendar has to do with the fact that we will be dismissing 1 (one) hour early every Wednesday so teachers can meet in collaboration with others to work on a variety of educational issues.
The state mandate (Iowa Code 284.6 (8)) of 36 hours of collabora-tion must be met by all school dis-tricts across Iowa, and the “early dismissal plan” is being implemented after a tremendous amount of dis-cussion, debate and consideration of many viewpoints and options through meetings with the School Improve-ment Advisory Council (SIAC) and the District Calendar Committee.
While this is a state mandate, I choose to look at this change as a move in the right direction for edu-cation at Clarke and across the state. The research shows and supports the benefits for student academic prog-ress when teachers are able to col-laborate on a regular basis and work toward a common vision.
In the end, it is our students who will reap the benefits.
The 85th General Assembly created certainty for Iowa familiesBy Rep. Joel FryHouse District 27 [email protected]
The Iowa House focused this session on tearing down ob-stacles for hardworking middle class families.
We worked to find ways to free Iowans from the harass-ment of government intrusion into their lives and instead sim-ply allow them to raise their families and enjoy their com-munities.
The House:• Created opportunities to
make family life more afford-able, upward mobility more likely and employment easier to find through family friendly
tax changes and targeted in-vestments into education and job training.
Worked for tax reductions
that eased the burden on work-ing parents and middle-class taxpayers with the approval of the alternative income tax bill allowing Iowans the choice of a new 4.5 percent flat tax or the current system, whichever is more advantageous for them.
• Protected and pursued tax policies that focus on mobil-ity, security, work and family through the largest property-tax reduction in Iowa history targeting taxpayers and em-ployers.
• Made it easier for families to afford the cost of college tu-ition by providing the funding necessary to freeze tuition at the regents universities.

and 25 percent of Clarke’s school district is Hispanic.
According to Roff, a challenge at Clarke is a Hispanic student who moves to Osceola will pick up on the math curriculum quickly, but
might be held back a grade or two because of the language compo-nent. This also impacts testing in many areas.
“As much funding as can be gen-erated toward that cause is going to be great for the whole state of Iowa, in particular,” Roff said.

classes are.”Antisdel said the goal is to try
to start the SpringBoard pro-gram in the middle school next year, and then implement the AP classes in the second semes-ter in the high school, if the new high school principal is OK with it.
The classes“My vision is to have an AP
government, an AP language arts and AP psychology, and just build those AP classes, as well as the other classes that we have in our curriculum,” Antisdel said.
As for SpringBoard program at the middle school, Antisdel said a goal is to have English and social studies classes introduced as a “starting block.”
One reason for starting the AP classes during the second semester at the high school is to give the staff time to prepare for the curriculum. However, Anti-sdel said a potential problem is some AP classes are yearlong.
During the board meeting, a question was asked if the classes would be taught online, and An-tisdel answered they would be taught by Clarke staff.
“It used to be you had to have
a master’s degree in that area in order to teach an AP (class), but you do not now,” she said. “They (students) can take the AP test or they don’t have to take the AP test, and they can get college credit.”
Paula Reece, the high school’s TAG/technology integrationist, has also done a lot of work to spearhead this program.
“If we roll it in with kids who don’t have the gifted and tal-ented label, but really are kids who are high achievers and want to, you know, get some rigor in their classroom, this kind of fits the bill,” Antisdel said.
SPRINGBOARD:
Contributed photo
Grant: Clarke Elementary was awarded a $200 grant to place dirt outside the old gym of the elementary school. The grant paid for almost 5,000 pounds of quality topsoil and peat. Hy-Vee employees delivered and unloaded 95 bags of dirt for the students. Wolf Cub Scouts and parents from Pack 101 placed the soil for the school. Students in kindergarten planted marigolds and students in first grade planted impatients. Students in second grade planted coleus. All of these plants were started in classrooms and cared for by the students from March until May when they were planted outside. The students learned a lot from caring for their plants and the effort to make the school a more beautiful place to learn.
Clarke County Hospital takes on new logo
Clarke County Hospital selects a new logo to represent the health-care organization.
“As we continue to provide 21st century healthcare, we wanted to have a 21st century logo that best symbolized our purpose to the com-munity,” said Brian Evans, chief executive officer at Clarke County Hospital.
The new logo represents the team-work of care between the patient, care givers and medical staff. The circular shape demonstrates action or movement, representing Clarke County Hospital’s commitment to move forward in the best medical practices available. But, like former logos, the new logo keeps people as the main theme in the design.
“At the heart of Clarke County Hospital are people – our patients, our community and our employees. Therefore, we wanted a logo that embodied people as the focal point and purpose of our organization,”
Evans said.The logo also highlights Clarke
County Hospital’s affiliation with UnityPoint Health, who has served Clarke County Hospital since 1984 through a contractual management agreement. Furthermore, clinicians from the UnityPoint Clinic – Fam-ily Medicine at Clarke County are leaders of the Clarke County Hospi-tal patient care team that delivers a variety of services to meet patients’ customized needs.
“We are proud of our affiliation and the additional resources Uni-tyPoint Health offers our commu-nity citizens,” Evans said. “Our logo now represents the close collabora-tion between the hospital and the local UnityPoint Clinic in order to deliver excellent healthcare close to home.”
The new Clarke County Hospital will be effective immediately, and hospital signage will convert to the new logo over the next year. How to prepare your pet for summer fun
(BPT) — The dark, cold days of winter are nearly behind us, and many people are looking forward to warmer weather and outdoor activities. Dogs also appreciate their time in the sun. So, it’s im-portant to keep in mind what you need to do to make sure your dog is ready to enjoy summer activi-ties.
The American Veterinary Med-ical Association (AVMA) pro-vides important summertime pet
care tips, including:• Provide adequate water and
shade• Never leave your dog in the
car• Take walks and play outside
during cooler hours of the day• Avoid walking on hot pave-
ment that can hurt your dog’s paws
• Provide regular flea and tick protection
And, if your dog isn’t on a regu-
lar schedule of heartworm preven-tive, now is a good time to start.
Many people don’t realize that while mosquito bites are usually a minor irritation for most people, for dogs, just one mosquito bite can be life-threatening.
This is because mosquitoes car-ry heartworm. Heartworm disease may exhibit few symptoms. When diagnosed, it is difficult and expen-sive to treat and, if not caught in time, can be fatal.

By The Rev. Dr. Al AdamsFirst Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
One of the many interesting things about working with youths (or being a parent, for that matter) is the pieces of conversations you hear.
Many times it’s just the odds and ends that reach your ears that stop you dead in your tracks.
Like the time I was walking past the doorway and over-heard this snatch of conversation, “I’ll show you mine, and you show me yours!”
Now, I’ve got to tell you, that was enough to not only stop me dead in my tracks, but freeze me to listen for what came next (and got me an invite into the conversation, too). I re-member thinking something like, “What? Did I just hear what I thought I heard? Wait a minute, I remember this game!”
It turns out they were talking about showing and living their faith. One was being challenged by another to do more than talking (only in church) about her faith. She’d appar-ently responded to a challenge by saying how impossible it was to actually live (for real) as Jesus’ disciples.
One of the other young people had overheard her partici-pating (OK, instigating) malicious gossip at school. She had fired back that it was basically impossible to live “churchy” in the real world, to which the young man had issued his “I’ll show you mine, and you show me yours” statement that got my attention.
We often see this challenge statement as a little children’s game of discovering themselves and others, but it’s a life-long thing.
Think about it. Aren’t we more comfortable talking about our faith and acting it out when we know we’re sup-ported by others who are trying to do the same, when we see “theirs” — their faith in Jesus in action?
Jesus said, “Don’t be intimidated. Eventually everything is going to be out in the open, and everyone will know how
things really are. So don’t hesi-tate to go public now. Don’t be bullied into silence by the threats of bullies. There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life — body and soul — in his hands. (Matthew 10:26-28)
It’s a human thing, a thing Jesus understood all too well.
So here’s the question, and the challenge: How are we acting ‘like our Master, Jesus’? If He’s indeed our teacher, our master, then we are to be like Him!
We are to “tell it in the light,” not hide it in the dark, per-haps more comfortable places. We are to “not be afraid.”
Jesus calls us to adjust our focus from the here and now to the eternal. He challenges us to make our here and now decisions based on the forever care of our God, who holds us completely in his hands.
Missy (the young lady in the story) had a decision to make. How was she going to repair the damage she’d done by her gossiping, her refusal to ‘be like her teacher, her mas-ter? She (after some arguing, tears, and a Christian friend’s commitment to go with her) apologized to the young lady she’d spread malicious gossip about.
Eventually Missy brought her to a youth gathering and together they became leaders in the youth group.
Jesus indeed “showed us His,” and He continues to show us daily. How are we “showing ours” for Him, for God’s glory? We can think about it, talk about it, and/or pray about it, but how are we showing, sharing, and living (yes, from the housetops!) our discipleship to our teacher, our master, Jesus the Christ?
Know it, grow it and show it!

Newly-formed RSVP inaugurated
LAMONI — “While the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is just get-ting started in our area,” said Jesse Bolinger, RSVP director, “it is over 40 years old and is America’s largest volunteer network for peo-ple 55 and over with more than 400,000 volunteers na-tionwide.”
RSVP is affiliated with Graceland University and the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service. It is a Youth Launch Commission program.
It is also a federal pro-gram of the Corporation for National and Community Service with 760 programs nationwide, 24 of which are in Iowa that traces its roots back to 1973.
RSVP projects link the skills of senior volunteers with community needs.
“RSVP provides orienta-tion and training, but we re-alize the true benefit of the program is the lifelong ex-periences our participants bring to us,” Bolinger said.
“The wonderful side ef-fect of RSVP is that older Americans who volunteer frequently live longer and report better health while they continue to contrib-ute.” he added.
The local RSVP will con-centrate activities in early childhood development and
disaster response in Deca-tur and Ringgold Counties.
Bolinger will begin con-tacting schools and learn-ing centers to develop relationships aimed at con-necting senior volunteers with literacy needs for un-derprivileged and under-served children. RSVP’s other function, disaster relief, centers on locating volunteers to provide criti-cal disaster assistance like providing shelter, working at shelters, and transporting victims.
“Over 36 percent of Io-wa’s senior residents vol-unteer. Iowa’s record of volunteerism is fifth best in America,” said Greg Sutherland, Graceland Uni-versity’s director of affiliate relations responsible for program development with Graceland’s various part-ners. “We hope to be able to harness some of that senior power in our communities to improve literacy among our young people and to be ready in times of need.”
RSVP volunteers choose how, where, and how often they want to serve, with commitments ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week. For more informa-tion about RSVP programs, visit its website at www.graceland.edu/rsvp or call 641-784-5379.

12 THURSDAY • MAY 22, 2014 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNENEWSHarkin aide to visit Clarke County as part of ‘In the Footsteps of History’ tour
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, announced his aide Laura Sands will visit Clarke Coun-ty Hospital 2:30 p.m. Friday, May 30, as part of a summer tour highlighting Harkin’s partnership with Iowa com-munities through the years.
The “In the Footsteps of History” tour will include all
Iowa counties and feature lo-cal projects aimed at keeping Iowa communities healthy and safe, keeping communi-ties thriving through targeted education, research and eco-nomic development projects and promoting local agricul-ture and conservation, while mitigating disasters. The me-
dia is invited to attend.Sands will meet with
hospital administrators at Clarke Community Hospi-tal to discuss how federal funding secured by Harkin has impacted the facility and helped to improve patient care, followed by a tour of the tele-medicine program.
In 2009, the hospital re-ceived a $356,243 Distance Learning and Telemedi-cine Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to purchase video conferencing and related de-vices that help connect the county hospital to other lo-cal sites.
In addition, the facility has received nearly $400,000 in Rural Development Com-munity Facilities grants to purchase an ambulance, surgical equipment and to upgrade their cardiac care machinery.
“Ensuring Iowans have access to quality, affordable
health care is critical—par-ticularly for those in rural areas, who may find this care out of reach,” Harkin said. “I am pleased that the Clarke Community Hospital is equipped with the equip-ment and facilities to care for residents and promote well-ness in the area.”
