By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]If the musical “A Chorus Line” sounds familiar, it’s because it has been performed on the stage at Clarke Community High School before. The drama department performed the musical in the spring of 1998. “We knew that we had a lot of se- niors,” said Don May, the show’s di- rector, “and we wanted a lot of big parts because there’s 19 main parts instead of four or five.

The musical’s set is the bare stage of a Broadway theater during an audi- tion.

Etta McBride Osgood, age 99, passed away on Wednesday November 6, 2013 at the home of her d a u g h -t e r , Mildred G l a s s , in Ma-c o n , GA.

Bride and spent her child-hood and most of her married life in Clarke County, Iowa. Etta and her twin sister Cora Alice McBride were very close while growing up. They did everything together, including dating and mar-rying brothers and having a double wedding in Beth-any, MO.
Etta was united in marriage to Gernie Rus-sell Osgood in 1934 and four children blessed this union. For 36 yrs. they lived on a farm near Lib-erty in Clarke County, IA. Upon retirement they moved to Pompano Beach, FL.
Etta was a hard work-ing farmer’s wife; grow-ing and canning fruits and vegetables, and baking homemade pastries. She took great pleasure in helping others, and was a member of the Liberty Ladies-Aid group during her earlier married years. Making quilts and giving them to friends and family was her favorite pastime.
Her memory is honored by her son, Keith Osgood and wife Brenda of Silver Springs, FL; daughter, Mildred Glass and hus-band Orie of Macon, GA; and daughter, Betty Berg and husband Brian of Lakeville, MN; 9 grand-
children, 16 great grand-children and 8 great-great grandchildren; along with numerous nieces, neph-ews and friends.
Etta is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Russell; infant daughter, Cathy Joan; brothers, Frank McBride and Robert McBride; twin sister, Cora Alice Osgood; grandsons, Ralph Osgood and Joseph Busby and great-great granddaugh-ter, Kamryn Suttell.
At Etta’s request she will be cremated in Ma-con, GA and her ashes will be laid to rest next to her husband Russell Os-good at a future date.

When the con-venience store in Murray closed over two years ago, Syd opened up his garage to the local coffee drink-ers. He took great pride in the fact that over 20 coffee drinkers were able to con-tinue their morning coffee drinking and socializing.

As the season very noticeably be-gins to show signs of winter, most fields and gardens are taking on that bare, desolate look. And, most of what is being harvested by the end of October/beginning of November is corn and beans.
But, look what Marilyn Dorland harvested from the Community Di-versity Garden site on Oct. 31. And, there are more out there.
It is still possible and really nice to have fresh produce to put in the fridge and on the table. And, some of you might not know what to do with cabbage, besides slaw. Here is an idea that I have found to be quite delicious.
Depending on the size of fam-ily you are feeding, cut up cabbage, grate carrots, dice onion and green peppers and put in a bowl.
Meanwhile, cut into “bite size” some sort of your favorite sausage — I use Kielbasa — and brown in a skil-let with olive oil.
When the meat is browned, dump the bowl of veggies in, season with pepper, garlic salt and seasoning salt and continue to cook to your level of “doneness.” It is simple, it is nu-tritious, it is hearty and it tastes deli-cious on a cool, rainy evening. Other veggies could be added to taste – such as zucchini, summer squash, basil or other herbs.

dance and choreography.“The choreography is more
difficult than it was 15 years ago when we did it before. We have a different choreog-rapher,” he said. “There’s a
lot of boys, a lot of kids who don’t have dance experience that we’re trying to teach. It’s a lot fun.”
“A Chorus Line” doesn’t have a “true plot” like other musicals, May said.
“It’s more of just a story
about people and how they develop,” he said. “We hear stories from childhood, when they learn to dance until the end of a career. That kind of relates to life. It relates to a lot of jobs, instead of just dancing.”

providing funding to set up Wi-Fi in the downtown area would fall under that category.
Wheeler said he talked to Trickey and asked him if any other local entities had agreed to help support the project finan-cially.
The county will contribute
$3,500, and there are more donations pending from other groups, Wheeler said.
Wheeler said there would be no cost to the public when logging on.
Dave Leonard, zoning ad-ministrator/building inspec-tor, said the Wi-Fi access would be an open “guest log-in,” similar to the network ac-
cess at McDonald’s in Osceo-la.
“The one thing I’d like to say, and I know, as a council, as a body, we’ll give some in-centives to businesses to relo-cate here,” said Councilman Chris Dorsey. “This $3,500 will, basically, say our square’s open to new people wanting to come in — to the tech-world.”

said the beer list will be constant-ly changing with bringing in new beers for the public to try at the restaurant.
“Wine-wise, we think that we offer something at every price point and every taste,” he said. “We’ve got sweets. We’ve got dry reds. We’ve got everything in between.”
Specialty itemsThere are specialty items
marked on the menu. Robert said he highlighted certain menu items because they were unique to the restaurant. For a list of the specialties, go to page 4.
“The bacon-wrapped Juicy Lucy has been one of my un-healthy, at-home favorites for a number of years. And, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that any-where else,” Robert said.
One reason the pastrami Reu-ben is highlighted is the restau-rant makes its own pastrami, Robert added.
“Basically, everything here is made from scratch,” he said. “There’s a few exceptions, but over 90 percent of it is all made from scratch.”
The twistSince the Whites describe
their menu items as American food with a “twist,” where does the “twist” come from?
Robert said he tries to create combinations of food that some-times work, and sometimes don’t work. The core concept is taking a basic item and changing a few things to make it better.
One example of this is the club sandwich on the menu.
“It’s a club sandwich, but then it has two pestos on it, and that changes it,” Robert said. “You get the savory and the sweet, and a little bit of salty and a little bit of bitter when you combine it all together. That’s really kind of your goal, to get all your fla-vors together and get them in the right proportions.”
Game nights The restaurant’s hours are 11
a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It is closed on Sundays.
The bar and lounge area does feature sports games, and Courtney said sometimes games go longer than the restaurants hours. Even though the kitchen might be closed, the lounge will be available for the game if it goes later than anticipated.
Even though The Iron Horse has only been open a few months, there are still more sur-prises to come. Robert said he’s working on a winter menu. Many of the popular items will stay on the menu, but different seasonal dishes will be added.
Robert said he enjoys talking to customers, especially when they “really enjoy” what they’re eating.
When asked what they like the most about owning their own restaurant, Courtney said it’s about freedom.
“We did this because this is something that we wanted to see,” she said. “This is a place that we would enjoy. So, it’s nice being able to see the finished product.”

Heidi Bell receives special entrepreneur award AMES — The Iowa
Small Business Develop-ment Center (SBDC) an-nounced the 2013 award winners for its two special entrepreneur awards.
Heidi Bell, the owner of From The Ground in Leon, is the 2013 Deb Dal-ziel Woman Entrepreneur Achievement Award win-ner. Michael Sexton, the founder and owner of Real Time Ag in Rockwell City, is the 2013 Neal Smith En-trepreneur of the Year Award winner.
The Deb Dalziel Woman Entrepreneur Achievement Award honors an Iowa woman entrepreneur who has significantly changed or improved her life and the lives of others.
The award is presented in memory of Deb Dalziel, a devoted small business advocate who was direc-tor of the Small Business
Development Center at Southeastern Community College in Burlington from 1987 until her death from cancer in 1999 at the age of 44.
Dave McLaren, director of the South Central Iowa Small Business Develop-ment Center in Creston, nominated Bell for the Deb Dalziel Award because she is a successful business owner, active in her com-munity, supporter of rural economic development, and has given two other entrepreneurial women the opportunity to grow their businesses in Leon.
The two special entre-preneur awards will be pre-sented to the winners in a special ceremony on March 4, 2014 at the state capitol in Des Moines.
The Iowa Small Busi-ness Development Center program is an outreach
program of Iowa State University’s College of Business. Partially funded by the U.S. Small Busi-ness Administration, the organization has 15 re-gional assistance centers located strategically across the state and one interna-tional trade center located centrally. Since program inception in 1981, the cen-ter has helped hundreds
of thousands of Iowa busi-nesses and entrepreneurs through free, custom-ized, professional business counseling and practical, affordable training.

6 THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 14, 2013 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNESPORTSFormer Clarke runner helps pace Spartans on national stageBy JAKE WADDINGHAMOST staff reporter • [email protected]
FORT DODGE — Coming out of high school, Gage Beers knew he want-ed to run four years in col-lege, but he was hesitant to commit to a four-year program.
The Clarke standout r u n n e r wanted to run for a good pro-gram and u n d e r -stood he needed to cont inue to build strength and experience, so he decided to start his journey close to home at Southwestern Community College.
“Gage is the type of ath-lete every coach is hon-ored to have come through a program,” Spartan head coach Bill Huntington said. “He is coachable, a hard worker and sets a great ex-ample on the course and in the classroom.”
In his two years at South-
western, Beers was instru-mental in the Spartans’ im-provement Saturday at the National Junior College Athletic Association na-tional championship meet.
“I didn’t want to go to a D-III program and set-tle down,” Beers said. “I knew it would take some hard work to earn a spot at a better program, and I knew SWCC would be able to boost me to that next level.”
In a field of 55 repre-sented teams, the South-western Community Col-lege men finished 26th at the national championship meet, jumping seven spots from the previous season.
Beers finished the 8K course in 28:52 behind teammate Ben Friederichs.
“Ben and I being able to run together really made a difference in my race,” Beers said. “I feel if he wouldn’t have been there, I wouldn’t have ran as well and he told me after the race I helped him, other-wise he wouldn’t have ran as well as he did.”
Beers has already re-ceived phone calls and emails from Division I, II and III programs from
across the nation. He plans to focus on the distance races this track season and try the 3,000 meter stee-plechase.
He plans to graduate this May with a degree in business administration.Reunited teammates
Joining Beers at South-western this season was former Clarke teammate
Chasen Selsor.“The main reason I
wanted to go to Southwest-ern is because I wanted to run with G a g e a g a i n , ” S e l s o r said. “We b a t t l e d back and f o r t h in high
school and I wanted to have that to push me again.”
Selsor contributed sev-eral times to the varsity scoring.
“Gage and Chasen show there is talent in our local programs and that hard work can pay huge divi-dends,” Huntington said. “They both have great ca-reers ahead of them.”
Selsor also hopes to con-tinue Beers’ vision and help SWCC continue to improve on the national stage. He also hopes to get D-I recruiting offers next season.
“I really enjoyed being able to bond with the team and set great goals,” Selsor said. “It is going to take a lot of work, especially dur-ing the summer.”

Viqueens sweep Murray for trip to state By SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]
CRESTON — Volley-ball is a game of momen-tum.
And there was a huge momentum shift in the first game of the Nov. 6 Class 1A regional final here, swinging things in favor of Stanton, as the Viqueens swept Murray for its fourth-straight trip to the state tournament.
The Lady Mustangs had built a 21-14 lead in the first game behind strong play from H a n -nah Bar-ber and M e g a n O s w a l d , f o r c i n g S t a n -ton head c o a c h Jody Druivenga to call a timeout.
Stanton won the first point coming out of the timeout and then rode a Haley Weis service string that included four aces to a 22-21 lead — the first lead for the Viqueens since 5-4.
After Murray tied the game at 22-22, an Erin DeKay tip and a Moriah Kammerer block sealed an improbable comeback win for the Viqueens.
“We kind of fell apart at
the end of that first one,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. “That’s what killed us, because when we lost that first game, you
could kind of see every-body’s lips start to drop a little bit. We just stopped attacking, and then our serve receive kind of went
downhill there for about five or six points, and that really killed us.”
Murray found itself in a position to take game two, as well, but once again couldn’t finish it off.
The Lady Mustangs, af-ter trailing 7-2 early in the game, fought back to take a 19-15 lead. But, a DeKay block and several kills from Stanton standout Carmen Subbert vaulted the Viqueens to another 25-22 win.
Subbert finished with a match-high 27 kills.
“I told them we had to win three,” Shields said. “We had to win three com-ing in. It doesn’t make a difference what three. We’re still saying that even after we lost the second one — you’ve still got to win three games. Instead of the first three, it’s got to be the last three.
“They never did give up, so I’m proud of them for that,” he continued. “We had a heck of a sea-son. We’ve got some really good kids. I’m proud of these kids.”
The two teams contin-ued trading shots back and
forth in the third game, until Stanton took a 19-16 lead on a Heidi Vander-holm kill and went on to finish off the sweep with a 25-17 win.
The Lady Mustangs struggled with serve re-ceive throughout the match, after perform-ing well in that category throughout the season.
“It all comes down to our serve receive and our digging,” Shields said. “If we don’t get the pass to the setter, Kate (Pat-ton) has to come back to the second row to get it, and then we’re in trouble. She’s one of the best bump setters I’ve ever had, but even she can’t pull off the impossible sometimes. Our passing just needed to be a little better, and that’s something that’s been good all year long.”
Coming into the match, Stanton knew it needed to slow down Barber. Since the Viqueens had not seen Murray at all throughout the season, Druivenga’s husband traveled to Mur-ray several weeks ago to film the Mustangs.
“We knew she was their
go-to girl,” Druivenga said. “We knew she was going to be tough. We knew we were going to have to work around her, and she receives the ball very well in the back row. We knew we couldn’t serve to her.”
Barber finished with 13 kills, while O s w a l d also had a strong n i g h t at the net with 11 kills and two b l o c k s . Patton set 30 assists for the Lady Mus-tangs.
Even though the match ended in a sweep, it was closely contested through-out the entire match. Things could have easily gone ei-ther way.
“It was a great game,” Druivenga said. “You’ve got to hand it to Murray. Fantastic team. They just never gave up. They fought hard to the end. That’s what it’s all about. This is the fi-nal. What do you have to lose? They played aggres-sive, they played hard.”
Six Murray seniors played their final volleyball match for the Lady Mustangs on Nov. 6. Seniors for Murray were Cheyanne Ashby, Pat-ton, Oswald, Courtney Sief-kas, Michaela O’Grady and Allison Peterson.
“We’ve got six seniors we’re going to have to re-place next year, and that’s going to be tough,” Shields said. “We’ve got some good underclassmen coming through, but we’re just go-ing to have to put in a lot of hard work. Those kids put in a lot of work this summer, we’re going to have to do the same next summer.”
Murray finishes its season with a record of 27-4, while Stanton improves to 37-5. The Viqueens will open against Le Mars Gehlen Catholic (23-11) in the first round of the state tourna-ment at 4 p.m. on Nov. 13.

7OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 14, 2013SPORTS Hawkeyes, Spartans compete in first ‘Shootout’
AFTON — The South-western Community Col-lege sports shooting team hosted their first-ever
Spartan Fall Shootout on Nov. 2 at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance Shoot-ing Range.
Four squads from SWCC, as well as the Uni-versity of Iowa squad, competed in the two trap
shooting events.Showing much improve-
ment from their first meet of the year, the SWCC Blue squad took top hon-ors winning first place in team single trap, scoring 461 out of 500, and team double trap scoring 395 out of 500. Their total scores also gave them first place overall.
The SWCC blue squad was comprised of Nick Howell, Heath Evans, Ben Fox, Ethan Jolliff and Trenton Cheers.
According to coach Charlie Mundy, the SWCC Blue Squad had competed earlier this season and placed fourth behind the squad from Iowa by 27 tar-gets.
Mundy showed his ex-citement: “Our Blue Squad beat Iowa by 126 targets. Wow! I’m amazed at how well our team is shooting. They have come a long way since Septem-ber,” Mundy said.
The SWCC Red squad, comprised of Levi Mof-fitt, Dylan Webb, Matt Mitchell, Morgan Knorr and Garrett Hogue, also made much improvement, taking second place in the team single trap scoring 431, third place in team doubles scoring 318, and second overall. The Hawk-
eye squad finished third in team single trap scoring 413 and third overall.
The SWCC White Squad also finished well, earn-ing second place in team double trap. The squad was comprised of Billy El-lis, Colton Offield, Jordan Brand, Katie Fuller and Tyler Ford.
Several Spartans earned top honors individually as well. Evans won the single
trap (96/100) and second overall. Howell won first in double trap (93/100), second in single trap (94) and first overall.
Dylan Webb grabbed third in single trap (94) and Jolliff earned second in double trap (81). Fox finished third in double trap (78) and third overall.
Photos of the competi-tion may be seen on the SWCC page on Facebook.

A common sight on the roads While driving down the
highway or gravel road on your way to work, home or an important appointment — do you find yourself be-hind a combine? A tractor pulling a couple of wagons loaded with corn or beans?
That is a common occur-
rence this time of year. It is a temptation to get irritated, try to pass when there are vehicles coming or yell at the slow moving vehicle to get out of the way.
But, they are food pro-viders, and people need to take a few extra minutes to
practice patience, give them space and let them move their machines to the next field to get their harvest done before winter brings snow and ice.
This is a press release from Clarke County Farm Bureau.

“I’ve got a play for our Christmas program, Miss Lin-da! I wrote it myself!”
Shelly could hardly contain herself. It was the first gathering of children and youths to plan parts for the up-coming Christmas program.
“Miss Linda” had already met with the pastor, and to-gether they’d selected the program. She’d called on vol-unteer adults to help with building the set, Bethlehem, of course, getting the costumes together. Biblical time period costumes, of course. And, thinking through which young person might be best for each role — Mary, Jo-seph, baby Jesus, shepherds.
“That’s nice, Shelly. But, you know, we’ve already got the play picked out for this year, honey. Maybe we could look at it for next year, OK?”
At that response, eight-year-old Shelly’s face scrunched into a fierce frown.
“But, Miss Linda, don’t we want Jesus to come here this Christmas? He always comes to Beth-lee-hem, but when my grandpa read the Bible story last week, he told me John, I think he’s Jesus’ best friend, really said Jesus moved into our neighborhood when He came from heav-en. Grandpa and me, we built a ‘Jesus-tent’ right in our yard. It’s got a Jesus-cradle bed and a cross, too! ‘Cause that’s why He came, right Miss Linda?”
“Sure, Shelly. But that’s what our Christmas program’s all about every year, too. Jesus coming right here to earth.”
Linda began to shuffle papers and get people’s at-tention so the, now late, planning and practice meeting could begin. Not to be turned down so easily, as soon as the room got quiet, Shelly cleared her throat loudly.
“But what if Jesus pitched his tent at the grocery store? What then? Or, maybe where my mom works, or on the soccer field where my brother plays? What then?”
Instant conversation. In-stant loss of control for Lin-da. Soon everyone from the youngest child to the old-est adult was discussing the possibilities. What if Jesus pitched a tent at the post of-fice? In the middle of the mall? In the airport? The po-tential tent-pitching locations were endless!
Linda pulled Shelly aside. “OK Shelly,” she began, with a smile tugging at the cor-ners of her mouth, “What do you have in mind?”
Shelly straightened up to the tallest three-foot-eight she could muster.
“Well, we could do what I did to write this.”Shelly held out a neatly handwritten script.“This is what my grandpa, my brother and me wrote for
our family. We could do the same thing for our church. It’d be so much fun.”
That’s how the unique Christmas program “Jesus on Location” began. It was a series of short scenes depicting what might happen if Jesus really did “pitch His tent” in these modern everyday places.
They ended up performing the play in at least eight neighboring churches, in addition to their own as requests came pouring in. At last count, there were churches in six states who had adapted the idea for their own Christmas programs.
The Greek word that is translated as “dwelt among us” literally means “to pitch one’s tent among.”
What would it be like to have Jesus literally “pitch His tent” in your neighborhood? Scripture doesn’t say Jesus “pitched his tent” for a few days and then left. My prayer for you is that you allow Jesus the Christ to “pitch His tent” in your life – every day, everywhere, and in every company you keep.
A new ‘what if?’
Osceola United Meth-odist Church will be one of the few locations in Iowa to showcase the new film “The Little Brown Church in the Vale: The Movie.”
The movie is produced and directed by Oskaloosa native Brian Hanson, who now resides in Franklin, Tenn.
The movie tells the
story of The Little Brown Church in Nashua, the “Church in the Wildwood” song, which made it fa-mous, and people whose lives have been touched by the church in Nashua.
To date, The Little Brown Church has had nearly 74,000 weddings in the last 100 years.
The film will be shown
6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, at Osceola United Methodist Church, 130 W. Grant St.
Hanson will be there to discuss his new film and seating is limited. Go to the website www.little-brownchurchthemovie .com.

Loebsack visit: Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, left, listens to farmers discuss issues during a tour stop Nov. 7 at Clarke County Farm Bureau on his “Investing in Iowa’s Rural Economy Tour.” Loebsack held a roundtable to discuss the impact stalled legislation is having on Iowa’s rural economy. One issue was renewal of the farm bill, which has an upcoming deadline that could significantly raise, or even double, the price of dairy products. It would also leave farmers and ranchers with no financial protection from natural disasters. If a comprehensive bill isn’t passed by Jan. 1, several provisions relating to dairy products would revert back to rules enacted in 1949.

11OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 14, 2013NEWS SWCC Phi Theta Kappa members attend regional conference
Four members of Beta Eta Nu, Southwestern Community College’s (SWCC’s) chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) International Honor Soci-ety, attended the 2013 Phi Theta Kappa Fall Leader-ship Conference, Oct. 24-25, at North Iowa Area Community College in Ma-
son City. SWCC attendees in-
cluded students Tom Hol of Osceola, PTK member; Jessica Pieper of Stuart, PTK member; Dakota Daniels of Mount Ayr, PTK member and regional officer; David Livingston of Fontanelle, PTK mem-ber and SWCC chapter
president; as well as Justin Mann, PTK advisor.
The 2013 conference theme was “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!” The SWCC delegation said it was an especially memorable event because Dr. Rod Risley, the presi-dent of Phi Theta Kappa International, was the key-
note speaker for the event. Having the president in at-tendance was a first for the Iowa region.
To qualify for Phi The-ta Kappa, a student must have completed at least 12 credits from SWCC that can be applied to an associ-ate’s degree and must have a GPA of 3.50 or better.
Contributed photoPictured, from left, are Tom Hol, Jessica Pieper, Justin Mann, Dakota Daniels and David Livingston, Southwestern Community College (SWCC) students; Dr. Rod Risley, Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society president; Bill Taylor, SWCC vice presi-dent of instruction; and Dr. Barb Crittenden, SWCC president.
Clarke-Decatur Coun-ty USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Joyce Frost an-nounced producers who file accurate and timely re-ports for all crops and land uses, including failed acre-age, can prevent the poten-tial loss of FSA program benefits.
People should pay atten-tion to the acreage report-ing dates below, as some dates have changed for 2014.
“In order to comply with FSA program eligibility re-quirements, all producers are encouraged to visit the Clarke-Decatur County FSA office to file an ac-curate crop certification report by the applicable deadline,” Frost said.
The following acreage reporting dates are appli-cable for Clarke-Decatur County:
Dec. 15, 2013: Fall seed-ed small grains and peren-nial forage
July 15, 2014: All other crops
The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting dates:
• If the crop has not been planted by the above acre-
age reporting date, then the acreage must be re-ported no later than 15 cal-endar days after planting is completed.
• If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after purchase or acquiring the lease. Appropriate docu-mentation must be provid-ed to the county office.
• If a perennial forage crop is reported with the intended use of “cover only,” “green manure,” “left standing,” or “seed” then the acreage must be reported by July 15 (cover crops only).
According to Frost, Non-insured Crop Disaster As-sistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note the acreage reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or har-vesting of the crop begins.
For questions regarding crop certification and crop loss reports, contact the Clarke-Decatur County FSA office at 641-342-2162.
Prepare your car for winter (BPT) — Getting ready
for winter is no small feat. But, is your car as ready as you are? These simple tips will help you prepare for the colder months ahead.
• Check your tires. • Check your brakes. • Wash and wax your car
at a professional car wash.• Check fluids. It’s good
practice to stay on top of fluids such as oil, wind-shield washer or trans-mission fluid. But in the winter, no fluid is more im-portant than your coolant because, if you’re out of coolant, you’re out of heat.
• Test your battery. A
lack of coolant will stop your heater from working and so will a dead battery.
• Check your wipers. Replace old wiper blades and make sure to have a reservoir full of wiper fluid.
• Winter emergency kit. Include an ice scraper/brush, extra blankets or clothes — including hats and gloves — snacks and bottled water and a first aid kit. A small shovel can come in handy if you get stuck and a bag of cat lit-ter can be used to provide needed traction for your tires.

Kirkpatrick asked if we should have a sur-vey to get these types of concerns for thefuture. Julie Brownlee commented that thepolicy should be set and then to reach outto the Hayden's to see if it is okay. Juliesaid to check with IASB to see if anythinghas been drafted for a policy on this.
V. Board Priorities and SuperintendentEvaluation- Superintendent Dr. Craig saidhe would share information on this whenthe entire school board is present. Superin-tendent Craig said he will share some ofthese at the next work session meeting.
VI. CAR Action Plan- Business Man-ager Ballard shared information regardingthe corrective action plan to a timely filingof state reports which is required by thestate of Iowa.
VII. Data on Properties in St. Charlesand New Virginia - Dr. Craig provided in-formation on the school owned propertiesin St. Charles and New Virginia. Superin-tendent Craig said the insurance policypremium savings of 250.00 annual and po-tential risks eliminated and the New Vir-ginia site has had some break ins in thepast. The range of sales $45 to $55K in StCharles and $65 to $75K for property inNew Virginia. Stanley asked about thefuel storage in New Virginia and Superin-tendent Craig stated the tank can bemoved to our current facility. Stanley ad-dressed concerns of fuel leakage over timeand if there would be EPA requirements toclean it up. Brownlee said the power needsto be shut off at the St. Charles location toreduce current costs. Brownlee asked whatcontents are in the New Virginia property.Superintendent Craig said there is staging,and other scrap items. The board mem-bers would like to make sure no EPAitems would surface that may prevent thesale of the property. Superintendent Craigsaid he will follow up on these questions.
VIII. BOE Self-Assessment- Superin-tendent Craig shared information aboutthe cost of the workshop which would be asignificant cost. Superintendent Craigasked Harry Heiligenthal from the IASBto conduct a workshop for school boarddevelopment. The steps to continuegrowth would be to identify 3 or 4 factorsfor decision making, continue to build onsome of the things we are already doing,and strengthen the community through awork session, website, and communityoutreach. The board members agreed thecost is worth the training session with Har-ry Heiligenthal. Superintendent Craig saidit would be good for this to occur some-time in January and February. Brownleesaid she would rather work with the mate-rials from IASB over the search firm anduse the resources for students. Superinten-dent Craig said he will check into this.

We have 11 peo-ple eligible for early retirement and theboard was provided copies of the scheduleof cost to the district for Fy14 and supple-ment years.

Stanley said the last time they had tobeef up the management fund. Brownleesaid to look at the budget to see if thecosts could be absorbed. Brownlee saidthe potential candidates would need to benotified sooner. This could also affect thehiring planning and capacity planning. The board asked to get a 3 year projectionfor the populations.
X. December Board Meeting- Superin-tendent shared information on the Decem-ber board meeting and to change the dateor eliminate the meeting.
