He was born on March 6, 1940, on the same farm, eight miles north of Mur-ray, Iowa, on which he has resided for the last 24 years, and was the eighth of nine children to Percy Henry and Edna Marie (Luce) Miller.
His early education took place at Brush Col-lege, a one-room school house in Madison Town-ship, and he graduated from the Murray Com-munity School in 1958. Shortly thereafter he went to mechanic’s school in Kansas City, Missouri. Following trade school he worked in Clinton, Iowa as a mechanic installing accessories in new ve-hicles. Following that he worked at Schwerman’s in Des Moines, Iowa as a mechanic.
In 1963 he was drafted into the United States Army, in which he served for two years, stationed at Schofield Barracks, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
He was in the 2nd Bat-talion 14th infantry “the Golden Dragon Infan-try,” The Right Side of the Line. After his family, his time in the army was his favorite time in life.
After returning from the service he helped on the family farm, worked for Bud Wilders Truck re-pair, and then eventually went to work at Cham-plin’s Truck Stop and Restaurant in Osceola. During his employment there he met the love of his life Jan DeLong. After dating a few short months they wed on De-cember 17, 1967. On No-vember 2, 1968 Larry and Jan welcomed their first son James into the world to begin their family. Fol-lowing shortly afterwards was Wanda on October 2, 1969. Troy arrived on January 18, 1974 to fin-ish out the family. While the children were young Larry worked at Simco and continued to farm on his own farm and with his little brother Bernie.
Larry and Jan intro-duced brother Bernie to Jan’s younger sister Sha-ron; they also wed and the 2 couples began farm-ing together. In the 1980’s the farming crisis hit and the 2 families struggled to make a living. In the fall of 1982 they began to build Miller Time Tap which they completed and opened in January
of 1983. Larry was a born bartender and enjoyed telling stories and talking about all his life adven-tures with many custom-ers.
Larry ran Miller Time Tap with Jan until the time they retired on Feb-ruary 1, 1999. They also started taking vacations in the summer of 1986 and continued every year until Larry became ill af-ter his aneurysm repair surgery in May 18, 2011. He loved bartending so much that he worked part time at the Truro Bar af-ter retirement for a few years.
Larry loved to travel with Jan, especially to the Rocky Mountains. On occasion different fam-ily members and friends would join their travels. Pee Wee, the feisty little rat terrier, also accompa-nied them on many a trip riding in the topper of the truck and sticking his head through the sliding rear window. He didn’t like to stop and ask direc-tions so there was at least once every vacation that they were lost and usually it was more than once.
Larry’s pride and joy was his family. He loved teaching his grandsons how to play poker and didn’t let them know he liked to cheat. Thanksgiv-ing was his favorite holi-day and he liked to help Jan fixed the yearly meal,
or at least tell her how to do it. He really enjoyed visits from the various nieces and nephews from around the countryside. He reminisced endlessly with his extended family and never tired of telling stories of his youth, sib-lings, and army days.
During the last cou-ple of years of his life, Larry was plagued with illness and never quite recovered from his ma-jor surgery. His wife and children cared for Larry during his failing health and enjoyed the time they spent with him. Thank-fully he passed peacefully in his sleep.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sis-ters Opal, Arlene, Rober-ta and Juanita; brothers Leo, Donald and Ber-nard. He is survived by his wife, Jan; son Jim and partner Gregg Hackney of Murfreesboro, Tennes-see; daughter Wanda and husband Greg Draper of Leon, Iowa; and son Troy and wife Robin of Murray, Iowa; eight grandsons, Kyle, Devin, Braden and Levi Draper and Brent, Tony, Dustin and Caleb Miller; sis-ter, Twyla Brown of St. James, Missouri; sister-in-law Sharon Miller of Murray; and sister-in-law, Lucille Miller of Sanger, California; many many nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends.

4 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNENEWS
Continued from Page 1
“I have worked at the store now for 57 years, and I’ve seen the lifestyles of thousands and thousands of people,” he said. “The people I’ve observed who have the longest longevity are those who remain active. I don’t think God intended for us to drive cars around. Walking is probably the best exercise that we can do. Any doctor would back me up on that.”
‘Tales from the Aisles’
If Thomas and his trips sound familiar, it’s because he wrote the weekly column “Tales from the Aisles” in the Osceola Sentinel-Tri-bune for 10 years.
Thomas will have have three volumes of his col-umns on sale in December. Book signings will be sched-uled at Robinsons True Val-ue, Murray and Woodburn. Proceeds will go to Osceola Lions Club.
What’s next?Thomas said he makes a
yearly trip to the Canadian
Rockies to hike and stay at a back-region lodge called Lake O’Hara. He also skis every spring in Winter Park, Colo.
But, there are still so many places throughout the world he would like to see.
“I would like to go to Central and South America and hike the trails to the Az-tec ruins,” Thomas said. “I would like to go back to the Alps and Europe again. I have never hiked or climbed in the Pacific Northwest. I would like to do that.”

Assembly: Doris Henry with Iowa Leukemia and Lymphoma Society speaks during an assembly Oct. 24 at Clarke Community Elementary School. Henry spoke about the money Clarke students raised for the society during last year’s Pennies for Patients fundraising program. Clarke elementary students will again participate in the Pennies for Patients program Jan. 6-24. The funds will be raised in honor of Dena Wheeler, a Clarke Community Elementary teacher who died May 12.
Aaron Mateer spends his time at his job at Hy-Vee in Osceola.
Mateer has worked at the store for five years helping to stock shelves, take gro-ceries to customer’s cars and unload trucks. Aaron is proof that individuals with disabilities can be a valuable asset to an employer.
When asked what he likes most about his job, Mateer said, “I love working with the customers and helping to make their day by being positive and greeting them by name.”
He said he also appreci-ates the paycheck he re-ceives from Hy-Vee, and is saving his money to go on a guided trip to Santa Monica, Calif., next year.
“Aaron is very depend-able,” said Bea Cisler, the store director at the Osceola Hy-Vee “He is always at work on time and works hard when he is here. He is always friendly with custom-ers and knows many of them by name.”
Business leaders in the 21st century are aware a shortage of qualified work-ers is becoming a reality.
In order to prevent this workforce crisis, an increas-ing number of employers are turning to nontraditional sources of labor.
Among those labor sources are people with dis-abilities, the fastest growing segment and most widely overlooked employable mi-nority of our population. Companies such as McDon-alds, Walgreens, PepsiCo., Aon and UPS recognize em-ploying people with disabili-ties is good for their bottom line and studies show a solid business case for inclusion.
Some of the benefits of hiring people with disabili-
ties include:• Researchers have found
that employers report hir-ing employees with disabili-ties contributes to improved morale and productivity throughout the company.
• Polls show 92 percent of consumers reflect favorably on businesses known to hire people with disabilities, and 87 percent prefer to do business with these same companies.
• In certain cases, em-ployees with disabilities carry Medicare/Medicaid and do not require employ-er-sponsored health insur-ance.
• Research consistently shows employers report equal or better safety re-cords, turnover and absen-tee rates, job performance ratings, job assignment flex-ibility and equal amount of supervision required for employees with disabilities as compared to their non-disabled peers.
In order to help prepare individuals with intellec-tual disabilities for em-ployment, Mosaic provides training at their workshop as well as South Central Iowa Redemption Center and Expressions Gift and Coffee Shop. Individuals
learn such things as the im-portance of being at work on time and how to interact with customers.
Expressions Gift and Coffee Shop has been open since October 2011. There are 20-30 individuals who have opportunities to gain community connections through the coffee shop and to learn job readiness skills.
Some of the jobs that individuals do are baking cookies and other items for the coffee shop, pricing gift items, cleaning, grind and package Mosaic’s pri-vate label Tessera coffee. Other individuals work in the workshop and at South Central Iowa Recycling, both of which are housed in the same building as the coffee shop.
Mosaic Gift and Cof-fee Shop is open from 7:30 am to 2 p.m. weekdays and from 8 a.m. to noon Satur-day. The shop will also be open from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 5 for Holiday Brilliance.
If you are an employer who is interested in finding how you can partner with Mosaic to provide employ-ment for an individual with an intellectual or develop-mental disability, contact Mosaic at 641-342-6015.
Businesses have success hiring people with disabilities

Middle-school students help make ALICE video
On Friday Oct. 25, Clarke students had the day off from school. Eleven middle-school students and Mrs. Danielle Woods came to Clarke Middle School and worked on an ALICE video for the school district.
ALICE stands for alert, lockdown, inform, counter
and evacuate. The idea be-hind the training is the first people who have to respond to a school shooter are the teachers and students in a school building.
The video will be used as a training tool for the Clarke School District.
“By coming in on their
day off shows the kind of character our students have and how important the pro-gram is to them,” said Mar-cus Kious, Clarke school liaison.
Officer Richard Thomas participated in the video and represented Clarke County law enforcement.
Veterans Day events plannedFor Veterans Day, flags at
Maple Hill Cemetery will be put up 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 9. The flags will come down 3 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11.
Any help with the flags is
appreciated by members of the American Legion.
Veterans Day ceremonies will be held 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 11, in the high-school gymnasium at Clarke Com-
munity High School. The public needs to be seated by 10:50 a.m.
Veterans Day ceremo-nies will be conducted by Clarke’s student body.
Three strains of Influenza identified in Iowa, flu shots recommended
Iowa Department of Pub-lic Health reports the Iowa Influenza Surveillance Net-work has identified three strains of flu currently cir-culating in Iowa – H1N1 (2009 pandemic strain), H3N2 (regular seasonal flu strain), and Influenza B.
While influenza activity remains at a low level, the identification of three cir-culating strains means that without a flu vaccination, an individual could become ill with the flu three differ-ent times. The flu vaccine, which is plentifully avail-able, covers all three strains of flu that have been de-tected.
“Simply put, the flu vac-cine saves lives,” said IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patri-cia Quinlisk. “We estimate an average of 300,000 Io-wans get the flu every year and together, flu and its complication of pneumonia are among the top 10 causes of death in Iowa. The most effective way to prevent in-fluenza illness and death is the yearly flu vaccine.”
IDPH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recom-mend annual influenza vac-cinations for everyone six months of age and older. A person’s decision to re-ceive the vaccination or not impacts their entire com-munity, as a yearly flu vac-cine not only protects the individual from illness, but also those around them. It’s especially important to be vaccinated if you have regular contact with peo-ple more vulnerable to the complications of flu, includ-ing babies, children with asthma, and the elderly.
IDPH also recommends pregnant women be vac-cinated to protect them-selves, and to pass on some immunity to their baby.
The flu is a serious re-spiratory illness caused by viruses. The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include fever, head-ache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. Illness typically lasts two to seven days, and
often puts healthy people in bed for days.
Influenza may cause se-vere illness or even death in people such as the young or old, or those who have un-derlying health conditions.
Influenza is not a ‘report-able disease’ in Iowa, which means doctors are not re-quired to notify IDPH each time a patient tests posi-tive for influenza; however, IDPH conducts year-round influenza surveillance through the Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network.
This surveillance indi-cates what types of influ-enza viruses are circulating and how widespread influ-enza illness is. For more information about where and what kind of influenza is in Iowa, go to www.idph.state.ia.us/Cade/Influenza.aspx?pg=FluHome.
Contact your health care provider or local health de-partment to find out where the vaccine is available in your community or use the Flu Vaccine Finder at www.flu.gov/.

None of the gravity-defy-ing balancing acts Ed Sul-livan featured on his show (there were The Baronton Sisters, for example, who lay on their backs while spinning full-size tables with their feet) come close to the astounding balancing act that goes on 24/7 in your gut. There, trillions of bac-teria work together to keep your immune and organs systems up and running.
But when those bacteria get out of balance, well, run-ning is a good word to de-scribe what may come next. One deadly infection associ-ated with a disrupted gut bi-ome is Clostridium difficile or C. diff. Every year, half a million Americans suffer from the severe diarrhea it triggers, and about 14,000 die.
Recently, fecal trans-plants from a person with a healthy gut biome to the in-testines of someone with C. diff have proved effective in controlling the disease. But there’s a huge ick factor for many folks. Well, now there may be a way around that — a side-effect-free gel capsule containing a huge variety of bacteria extracted from a healthy fecal sample.
Thirty-one of 32 folks who’d had repeated bouts of C. diff saw it go away af-ter taking one round of pills containing fecal microbes. Interestingly, C. diff wasn’t eradicated; the balance of bacteria in their guts was re-stored so that the good guys controlled the bad.
If you have chronic intes-tinal distress, ask your doc about bacterial replenish-ment. And everyone can keep his or her guts well-
balanced with a daily sup-plement of spore probiotics containing bacillus coagu-lans GBI-30, 6086 or lacto-bacillus GG.
CONTROLLING MING FROM MONGO
Flash Gordon ignited the screen in the 1936 se-rial about overcoming evil forces from the planet Mon-go. But when guys get Hot Flashes, they can be harder to vanquish than that sci-fi planet’s Emperor Ming. That’s because it’s almost always due to permanent or temporary androgen deprivation (testosterone suppression) that is part of prostate cancer therapy. Around 80 percent of guys undergoing that therapy say the onslaught of flushing and sweating reduces their quality of life and makes it hard to sleep through the night. The discomfort usu-ally stops a few months after ending the treatment, but for about 40 percent of guys who are on a permanent regimen of androgen depri-vation, the sweats continue.
So how can you ice the problem? While female hormones, estradiol (an es-trogen) and some forms of progesterone are effective (up to 90 percent), they can trigger breast tenderness and swelling, and in some, can elevate PSA levels and cardiovascular problems. The neuropathic pain medi-cation gabapentin cools down some men’s hot flash-es. Antidepressants may
provide relief, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but some studies show soy protein provides a better boost to quality of life than serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as venlafaxine.
If you aren’t undergoing androgen deprivation thera-py and you have hot flashes, get your testosterone level checked and eliminate monosodium glutamate from your diet (bye-bye Chinese take-out). Then ask your doctor and pharmacist if any of your medications could be the cause — and if you can change meds or dosage to avoid this disrup-tive side effect.
RAISING CPR STAN-DARDS
When 51-year-old James (Tony Soprano) Gandolfini suffered a heart attack while visiting Rome last summer, his chances for survival might have increased if it had happened on a movie set, where there’s often a medical staff trained in car-diopulmonary resuscitation.
But unfortunately for millions of people around the globe and more than 360,000 North Americans every year who have “out-of-hospital cardiac arrests” or OHCA’s, your average bystander isn’t prepared to administer CPR, and the chances of pulling through an on-the-street heart attack are not great. In Detroit, OHCA’s have a 0.2 percent
survival rate. In Seattle (the U.S. gold standard), survival rates still hit only 16 percent.
What improves survival rates, according to a Danish study, is a public education push that teaches how and when to do CPR, along with smarter medical-response procedures. Danish efforts have elevated their OHCA survival rate to an impres-sive 44 percent.
For you to help improve OHCA survival rates in North America, here are CPR basics:
—First, call 911; then start chest compressions. No need to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It turns out hands-only CPR is the most effective technique for sav-ing lives in real-life OHCA situations.
—Place one flat hand over the center of the victim’s chest and your other open hand on top of that. Press down hard (chest should depress 2 inches) for 100 beats a minute. If someone’s available, have that person count with you.
—Stick with it until help arrives, and ask someone else to relieve you if you get worn out.
HOW PRESCHOOL-ERS NAP TO LEARN
Many adults confine their naps to boring or overly long movies in darkened theaters (last year’s “Lincoln” got some serious online buzz for its napworthiness) or when they dim the lights for that business presentation from the West Coast.
But preschoolers usually grab a cool 60 minutes or (much, much) more daily, and parents and teachers should be glad they do!
Not only does it give Mom or Dad time to take care of other tasks or have down-time themselves, naptime is part of a young child’s learn-ing process. It’s when their super-active brains consoli-date newly acquired info and store it in memory.
What’s the typical “need to nap” for young children? Most kids take a morn-ing and afternoon nap till around age 2; then they just want an afternoon snooze. By age 3, a quarter of kids have stopped napping al-together; from ages 3 to 4, about half will stop. And a final quarter of kids will nap until they are 5 to 6.
Unfortunately, some pre-school program administra-tors want to eliminate naps for 3- to 5-year-olds. But skipping naps won’t make kids healthy, happy — or smart! (Perhaps those ad-ministrators didn’t get their naps, since they don’t seem to have learned much since then!) So ask your child’s preschool about its napping policy. No nap? Find anoth-er facility, or convince yours of the importance of nap-time. And make sure that if your child is 4 or older and still naps, your chosen facil-ity will accommodate his or her schedule.
AN OUNCE OF GIN-GER PREVENTION
In 17th-century England, a pound of ginger could be traded for one healthy sheep! In fact, this gnarled, tangy spice has been valued as a seasoning and a medi-cine for thousands of years — it has even been Dr. Oz’s Herb of the Month. Cur-rently, scientists are inves-tigating whether it can help
prevent colon and ovarian cancer. Plus it’s a must-have as you head into cold and flu season. Its other powers include:
Calming nausea. As a tea or cooked into a congee (a therapeutic rice porridge) it can ease morning sickness, motion sickness and slug-gish digestion. To make the tea: Cut 2 inches of cleaned and peeled ginger root into small pieces or thin slices; put in a pan with a few cups of water; boil for at least 10 minutes. Stir in lemon, mint or lime juice — add 1 tea-spoon of honey if your taste buds require!
Soothing sore joints and muscles. Ginger contains anti-inflammatories called gingerols that can ease the discomfort of osteo- or rheumatoid arthritis, sore muscles and even head-aches. You can drink it as a tea or grate the root, wrap it in cheesecloth, place in hot water for 30 seconds, and when cool enough, apply di-rectly to your achy areas for 20 minutes.
Keeping your immune system strong. For a sore throat, sniffles or the flu, try a powdered ginger supple-ment; ask your doctor about taking 250 mg daily (it’s not for anyone on blood thin-ners). The max, according to the American Cancer So-ciety, is 5 grams a day.

Diabetes is one of my grow-ing concerns for the people of Clarke Cou nty. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), an average of 2 million people will develop diabetes each year. Believe it or not, a majority of diabetic cases could be prevented with diet, exercise and weight loss.
Looking at the facts, the Clarke County population is vulnerable to diabetes. The fol-lowing data on Clarke County is recorded by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services:
1 in 10 people have diabetes1 in 4 people are obese86 percent of people do not eat
enough fruits or vegetables1 in 5 people do not exercise1 in 3 people have high blood
pressureTo prevent diabetes, we must
first work on improving our dai-ly habits. November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and I challenge you to increase your physical activity. The Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate-speed walking, five days a week.
Due to our busy schedules, we are able to pass the day without getting 30 minutes of exercise.
I cannot stress enough the im-portance of making this com-mitment a priority. One tip I tell my patients is to actually make an appointment for exercise on their personal calendar. For ex-ample, some are able to take a walk during a lunch break.
When you are starting a new exercise habit, start slow and build in speed and distance over time.
To close, I will quote Edward Stanley, Earl of Derby, “Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or lat-er have to find time for illness.” (1873)

Makeup and skin care tips for looking good during chemotherapy
(BPT) — Last year, 232,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States and many were told they would need chemotherapy. With October designated as Na-tional Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is important that wom-en diagnosed with the disease and their caregivers feel em-powered to take charge of their cancer journey. For the many women undergoing chemothera-py, getting better is the top prior-ity, but the side effects of treat-ment, such as hair loss and skin changes, also weigh heavily on their minds.
Emmy®-winning makeup art-ist and breast cancer survivor Jan Ping is joining a campaign called Chemotherapy: Myths or Facts™ to share her own expe-rience and help others who are undergoing chemotherapy. The program aims to debunk com-mon misconceptions associated with chemotherapy and encour-age patients and caregivers to speak openly with their doctors.
“Cancer is not something any-body plans for, and as a single, working mom - being told I’d need chemotherapy - I had lots of questions,” says Ping. “I re-
alized it’s important that you feel educated about your can-cer treatment to help you make any necessary adjustments to your daily life and to do all you can to stay healthy. As a profes-sional makeup artist, one myth I often hear from people under-going chemotherapy is that they shouldn’t wear makeup. How-ever, I think it’s so important for women to feel as much like themselves as possible during this difficult time. By working closely with my doctor, I learned several simple steps during treat-ment that helped me maintain my beauty regimen, so speak with your doctor to see if wear-ing makeup is an option for you.”
Ping is providing some of her favorite tips about makeup and skin care to help women main-tain their beauty regimen as they undergo treatment.
• Think clean: Take a look around your makeup drawer and consider buying new, fresh ver-sions of your makeup.
• Use disposable applicators: For patients undergoing che-motherapy, Ping always recom-mends using disposable applica-tors when applying makeup.
• Keep cuticles moisturized
and do not cut them: When it comes to maintaining nails, soak them in warm water for a bit, ap-ply oil, and push back the cuticle. You can use a mild cuticle oil or even natural olive oil or grape seed oil on cuticles. Do not cut them and take every precaution during treatment to not break the skin.
• Use mild soaps and moistur-izers: Fragrance-free and natural products may be less irritating.
• Replace mascara every two to three months: Take a mark-er and date the mascara so you know when it’s time to discard and get a new one.
As chemotherapy affects ev-eryone differently, it’s impor-tant for patients to speak with their doctor to fully understand their treatment and how it might impact them.

7OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 7, 2013SPORTSMurray heads to regional finalsBy LARRY PETERSONOST sports writer • [email protected]
MURRAY — Maybe they were just too hungry to make it happen.
Whatever the case, it took a set for Murray to relax and play its game in Class 1A regional semi-final action here Friday. A crowd of nearly 440 jammed the Jerry Brown Gymnasium for the battle of neighboring rivals, and created a roar with nearly every point.
In the end, Murray set-tled in to a 17-25, 25-15, 25-19, 25-14 victory over East Union to end a couple of streaks.
The Eagles had knocked out Murray in postseason play the past two seasons on the way to eight straight appearances in regional fi-nals. That streak included state tournament appear-ances in 2010 and 2011.
Now, it’s the Lady Mus-tangs (27-3) headed to a regional final Wednesday at Creston High School in a 7 p.m. match with Stan-ton (36-5) for a trip to state in Cedar Rapids. It would be Murray’s first appear-ance in the state volleyball tournament.
The atmosphere of Fri-
day’s match, and the high stakes, appeared to give error-prone Murray a case of the jitters in the open-ing set. Several Mustang hitting errors contributed to the team’s early deficit. East Union took an 11-7 lead to 16-8 and carried that momentum to the 25-17 finish.
McKayle Dudney, one of several sophomores in the Eagles’ main rota-tion, served the final three points.
“The girls came out on fire, attacking the ball,” said East Union coach Gail Thatcher. “We really had the momentum. Then Murray came back. They have a solid lineup. (Kate) Patton and (Hannah) Bar-ber work well together set-ting up the attack.”Momentum switch
From coach Jerry Shields’ vantage point, that cohesion was missing in the early going. But it was like a light switch came on when the teams exchanged sides of the court for set two.
“We were just tight,” Shields said. “I told them we’d been relaxed all year long, but tonight we came out tight. That was a big crowd for us. I told them it’s going to be really noisy
in here tonight. Our pass-ing was bad. Our setter was coming clear back to the second row all the time to try to make a set. That’s nearly impossible.”
Barber, who finished with 14 kills and two blocks, agreed that her team took some time to find its rhythm.
“All of us were kind of having game jitters,” Bar-ber said. “East Union had b e a t e n us twice in a row. There was a lot of p r e s s u r e to beat them this year, and we just w e r e n ’ t loosened up.”
Barber said the team caught fire when serve re-ceivers McKenzie Case and Megan Oswald started accurately sending balls to Patton in position for some of her 32 assists. That en-abled hitters like Barber, Oswald (eight kills), and Cheyanne Ashby (five kills) to start pounding balls into the Eagles’ court.
Then, it was a reversed

Murray stunned in state playoff openerBy KYLE WILSONCNA assistant managing editor • [email protected]
MURRAY — In the middle of Mustang Field Wednesday, Wayne’s run-ning back Clayton Kiefer could be seen posing for pic-tures with his proud parents. He smiled big — his white jersey and signature hand-towel both soiled with dark mud.
He had reason to smile.Kiefer had just led the
Wayne Falcons to an 82-57 victory over the Murray Mustangs in the first round of the Eight-Man state foot-ball playoffs. He carried the ball 29 times for 292 yards and five touchdowns in the victory.
“He’s as tough of a runner as we faced all year,” said Murray head coach Keith Shields. “At times tonight, we thought we had him stopped and he’d make a great cutback, or we thought we had him and he’d carry us three or four more yards upfield.”
On paper, Kiefer doesn’t look that dangerous at 5-7, 160 pounds.
“It’s not his size that gets you,” said Wayne head caoch Bart Elliot. “It’s his toughness. He is just a hard-nosed kid who refuses to go
to the ground. He deserves all the praise and pats on the back he will get tonight. He works his butt off.”Game summary
Neither team led by more than 10 points in the open-ing half as the two teams went back and forth trad-ing touchdowns. Wayne led 36-31 at halftime thanks to a 50-yard touchdown re-ception by Trent Carpenter with 15.3 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
The two teams contin-ued to trade touchdowns through the third quarter until Wayne freshman Nick Mattly recovered an onside kick with 2:15 remaining in the third quarter.
“We didn’t want to kick it to their returnmen (Andrew Rider and Seth Nerness),” Elliot said. “So we called an onside kick and if we got the football, great. If we didn’t — because they are such good returnmen — we still wouldn’t be giving up a lot of field position.”
Less than two minutes after Mattly’s fumble recov-ery, Kiefer capitalized on the turnover, barreling into the endzone for a 2-yard touchdown, making the score 68-57 with :36 remain-ing in the third quarter.
“That fumble recovery gave them the momentum,”
Shields said. “And credit them, they took that mo-mentum and finished the game.”
Murray was held scoreless the entire fourth quarter.
Murray finishes the sea-son with a record of 8-3 overall. They will lose sev-en seniors including Alex Shaw, Tyler Cashman, Col-lin Titus, Cole Weir, Sam Rockhold, George Barber and Andrew Rider.
“These seniors have 39 career victories, which if I counted right, is by far the most victories of any senior class at Murray,” Shields said. “The things they’ve done on and off the field have been incredible.”
This is the only class in Murray history to make the state playoffs in all four of their seasons.
Nerness led the Mustangs with 144 rushing yards on 11 carries and scored three touchdowns. Rider added 137 yards on 15 carries.
Matt Barnes picked up 27 yards on the ground on 10 carries with one score.
Barnes was 8-of-19 pass-ing for 180 yards and two scores. Rockhold and Rider each had one touchdown re-ception.
Rockhold led the team with 14 total tackles, while Barber added nine.
FORT DODGE — In-terstate 35 senior Holly McKinney put in a lot of hard work in order to achieve her dream.
She might have achieved that goal on Oct. 24 when she qualified for the State Cross Country Meet, but it didn’t really come to life until Saturday, when she toed the starting line here at the State Cross Country Meet.
McKinney’s dream was to be a four-time state meet qualifier.
“It’s kind of like a dream come true, honestly,” she said after her race. “You start off as a freshman and you’re new, and you want to make it to state so
bad. After that first time, I wanted to make it more and more. I love running up here — all the spectators and all my friends. It makes everything worth it.”
The Roadrunner senior finished 63rd, running a time of 16:51.1. McKinney spent the early part of the race hovering around 25th place, and sat in 30th at the 2-mile mark, but faded in the final half mile.
It wasn’t quite the finish she was looking for, but she was still proud of her ac-complishment.
“I was ranked 27th com-ing into this race, so I want-ed to beat that,” McKin-ney said. “It didn’t happen today, but I’m glad I got to run here today.
“The first mile felt good. I felt strong. Then I got some
cramps and kind of psyched myself out. I finished, and that’s what matters.”
McKinney was greeted at the finish line by a large fan club that included team-mates, friends and family.
“I couldn’t have done it without my teammates and coaches,” McKinney said. “They’re like family for me.”
“Holly had a lot of sup-port and a lot of fun Sat-urday,” Interstate 35 cross country coach Desman Oakley said. “We filled the van with teammates and friends, so Holly was surrounded by friends and family as she ran.”
McKinney still has one more cross country race

Stover Juon, Parrott inducted into Simpson Hall of FameBy BRYAN GEELANSimpson College Athletics
INDIANOLA, Iowa — Osceola natives Michelle Stover Juon and Brent Par-rott were inducted into the Simpson College Athletic Hall of Fame at the annual Red & Gold Celebration, held Oct. 11, 2013.
Michelle Stover JuonA 2002 graduate of Simp-
son College, Michelle Stover Juon did a lot of winning in her time at Simpson. In her four years on the basketball team, she helped Simpson to an 86-23 record and two Iowa Conference champion-ships. She also played soft-ball for a year, helping the Storm win the Division III National Championship in 1999.
Her year on the diamond aside, Stover’s primary tal-ents were on the hardwood, as she is easily one of the most talented players put on the Red and Gold. Stover Juon scored 1,458 points and grabbed 606 rebounds in her career, one of just six play-ers in school history to reach the 1,000-point, 500-rebound milestones. Her 1,458 points rank fourth in Simpson his-tory and she currently ranks in the top five in six different career categories, including second in free throws (332)
and free throw attempts (448).
In 2001, Stover Juon be-came the first Simpson wom-en’s basketball player to be named as a finalist for the Josten’s Trophy, emblematic of the top player in Division III. She took home honor-able mention All-America honors from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Associa-tion and Division III News in 2001 and 2002 and was a three-time, First Team All-Iowa Conference performer.
Stover Juon graduated with a degree in physical ed-ucation and currently works as a computed tomography/x-ray technologist at Alegent Creighton Health in Omaha, Neb. Her and her husband, Kevin Juon ’99, reside in Council Bluffs with their children, twins Bryce and Grant (7) and Cael (5).
Brent ParrottA 1998 graduate of Simp-
son College, Brent Parrott made the most of his two-year career on the Simpson football team. Transferring to Simpson from Graceland, Parrott anchored Jim Wil-liams’ defensive backfield in 1995 and 1996. The Storm went 17-4 during the stretch, including a perfect 10-0 run through the regular season and an Iowa Conference Championship in 1996.
In Simpson’s champion-
ship season, Parrott earned first team all-region and First Team All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association. He was a first team all-confer-ence performer and added Third Team All-America accolades from the Division III Sports Information Di-rectors. He also served as a team captain in 1996, leading the team with 64 solo tackles and creating five turnovers (three fumbles and two in-terceptions). He went on to participate in the first annual Division III All-Star Clas-sic at the conclusion of the year. He was a second-team all-conference performer in 1995 and earned Iowa Con-ference Player of the Week honors twice during his ca-reer.
Parrott graduated from Simpson with a degree in elementary education and is currently a 6th grade litera-cy teacher at Hiatt Middle School in Des Moines. He also serves as the head foot-ball coach at Martensdale-St. Marys High School in Martensdale, a position he has held since 2010. Brent and his wife Jennifer reside in Martensdale with their children, Madison Christine Kim (18), Madison Jo Par-rott (17), Alex Kim (17) and Anna Parrott (9).

trend of East Union errors in trying to transition into its offense.
“They have a lot of size, and this is a tough venue to play in,” Thatcher said. “The experience our girls gained from playing these last three matches is really going to take us into next year for a positive. But, it’s going to be difficult to fill in for our two seniors.”
Libero Brittany Malone shouldered the bulk of East Union’s serve receive Friday (36-42) and notched a team-high 26 digs. She ranks sixth in Class 1A with 438 digs this season. Kelsey Hoff had 192 kills this year, including five in an 18-of-27 hitting night Friday. She also had two blocks.Final matchup
Thatcher, whose team faced Stanton in a regular-season tournament, fors-ees a competitive match between the Viqueens and Lady Mustangs Wednes-day night.
Barber, part of a bal-anced Murray attack at the net, knows there’s a special player to be neutralized if her team is going to be suc-cessful in earning a state trip.
“We have to block num-ber 13,” she said. “We played against them in the SWCC tournament in the off-season. If we can put her down, we can probably beat them. Our seniors have really taken a stand this year to get us there.”
Number 13 is Carmen Subbert, a 5-7 leaper whose two older sisters were col-legiate volleyball players. She figures to make it a tri-fecta next year.
“She’s only 5-7, but she can hit with the best of them,” Shields said. “We have to be able to block Subbert. She hits out of the outside and the back row, mostly. She can cut the ball really well, drive it to the corners. About 85 percent of their game goes through her.”
After the first set, Shields thought his team was performing at a high level Friday in preparation for that challenge.
“It was a hard-fought match in front of a great crowd,” Shields said. “We got settled down in games two and three. We were very balanced at the net offensively.”
Of the team’s 37 kills, five players had at least four of them, led by Bar-ber’s 14. The team missed
only six of 90 serves, with sev-en aces. P a t t o n m i s s e d only one of 22 at-t e m p t s and accu-mulated four aces.

left in her high school ca-reer, as she’ll compete in the Senior All-Star Meet Saturday in Ankeny on the DMACC campus.
“I still have one more race, so I’m still holding out,” she said. “I can’t be-lieve it’s coming to an end. It’s been a lot of hard work, but it’s gone by fast and it’s
been fun. It’s going to be fun, I think (running in the all-star meet). Just kind of like the cherry on top. The best close to a season.”
“Her ultimate goal of qualifying four times came to fruition,” Oakley said. “She is a great representa-tive of our team, school and community.”

What would you say to this statement?Pain is inevitable – misery is optional.The longer I live, the more I’m convinced it is, indeed,
a choice to rejoice. It’s commonly believed that rejoicing is just a response.
Certainly, there is some truth to that perspective. If my team wins the game, I rejoice. If I receive some unexpect-ed money, I rejoice. If I experience a happy event, such as a marriage or catching a 10-pound Walleye, I rejoice.
However, rejoicing goes far beyond the emotional response to life’s happenings. If it’s only a response to momentary events – then it comes and goes – rises and falls – depending on what’s happening now. That kind of thinking makes our attitude a roller coaster – up one minute and down the next.
The Bible says to “Rejoice evermore” (I Thessalonians 5:16.) It also says, “Rejoice in the Lord always, and I say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4.)
Now, the Bible does not command us to do the impos-sible. These verses of Scripture tell us to rejoice continu-ously – so it must be possible to do so. The Bible assumes that rejoicing goes deeper than our circumstance and situation. Take a look sometime at the verses in the Bible
that speak of joy and rejoic-ing. It permeates the whole book.
As C. S. Lewis said, “Joy is the serious business of heav-en.”
I like being around people who demonstrate deep joy in spite of having often gone through much heartache and suffering. They have learned the secret of choosing an at-titude of rejoicing rather than one of grumbling and com-plaint.
If you want to find something to complain about – you’ll find it.
If you want to find something to rejoice over – you’ll find it.
You get what you look for. To rejoice is a choice. Look beyond the present difficulty to the future hope. Seek the solution rather than the problem. Focus on what is rather than what is not.
Whatever comes, make the choice to rejoice today.This truth is clearly taught in the New Testament book
of Philippians. Read it today and then decide how you are going to respond to things that come your way.
The choice to rejoice
Clarke County Emergen-cy Management is launching a new community notifica-tion service called “Nixle” week to improve communi-cation with people who live, work and visit the area.
The system provides a quick, efficient, and secure way to get neighborhood-level information out to community members who subscribe to the system. Through www.nixle.com, the department will be able to send text message (SMS) and e-mail alerts to sub-
scribers in a specific area, down to .25 miles.
Notifications might be considered in the following instances:
• A young child or adult with Alzheimer’s disease walks away from their home. The alert can include a picture of the child or vul-nerable adult with a map identifying the area at which they were last seen.
• A public safety emer-gency requires people to stay in or remain away from their homes. A Nixle alert
can let residents with a reg-istered address in the af-fected neighborhood know what’s happening, allowing residents to take a proactive role in their own safety.
• A serious injury or fa-tal crash in which traffic investigators close down the intersection for several hours during the morning commute. This situation might warrant a notification to subscribers who live or work in the area, encourag-ing them to select a different route to work.
• Other uses: Large-scale public works projects, traffic safety implications around large fire scenes, community events such as parades, fire-works, picnics, details about a case of H1N1 “swine flu” in the area, city-council meeting information and utility outage advisories/boil orders.
Through Nixle, emer-gency management will de-liver messages securely to citizens by e-mail and cell phone, supporting and ex-panding its community out-
reach efforts.The system will be most
effective when there are large numbers of subscrib-ers. The public is invited spread the word about the use of the system and add this information to the bot-tom of their e-mail signa-ture: “Up-to-the-minute updates from city agencies by e-mail and cell phone: www.nixle.com”
Nixle is a secure commu-nications service available to municipal, county and state government agencies.
The system is available at no cost to citizens (standard text message rates apply for subscribers who do not have text plans with their cell phone providers).
If you have suggestions for potential Nixle publi-cations that might interest citizens, share them with Allan Mathias or Jessica Conley by e-mail or phone. Residents can receive tech-nical and non-technical as-sistance directly from Nixle sending email to [email protected]

Southern Iowa Crafts and More Festival planned in Leon LEON — On Nov. 9 in
Leon people may spend an entire day having fun in south central Iowa.
Southern Iowa Crafts and More Festival is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. New this year are vendors in two Loca-tions — Central Decatur North Elementary/Middle/High school campus in the northeast part of town and Leon Community Center on the southeast corner of the downtown square.
Santa Claus with live rein-deer will be set up outside the main entrance to the high school, which is off the circle drive, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Bring your chil-dren, all of your friends or just yourself, and have your pictures taken to send out with Christmas cards. You may pay their photographer, or pay so much per group to use your own camera.
Featured at the event are skilled craft workers. There will be wood vendors, hand-sewn items, fancy crochet work, handmade seasonal decor for the home, jew-elry, children’s items, metal-work, gourd designs, ceram-ic tiles, homemade lotions and beauty products.
In addition to the hand-made crafters, there will be a large number of vendors with commercial items vary-ing from home decor, com-mercial beauty products, candles, purses, jewelry, baked goods, cleaning prod-ucts, knives and honey. The youngest crafter this year is hand-painting on light bulbs. People may see him at the community center. A vendor at the community center will be painting color-
ful designs on nails. A pho-tographer will also be at the community center.
Gift certificates — some good with vendors in the show — and some from Leon area merchants — will be awarded. Be sure to sign in since that is how people qualify for a door prize award.
Decatur County 4-H Council youths will be wrap-ping Christmas presents. Look for them in the el-ementary part of the school building.
Eat breakfast, a snack or lunch in either venue. The Saint Brendan’s Catholic Church will be serving at
the school venue. Decatur County Shooting Sports Club will be serving at the community center.
Local musicians will be in the high-school cafeteria. From 9 to 9:30 a.m., Vir-ginia Webb and her piano students will be performing. Beginning at 9:30 a.m., Sha-ron Day and students from Mormon Trail Community School District will enter-tain.
From 10 to 10:30 a.m., the Allen/Hillyard Family Per-formers will entertain with at least one piano rendition with six hands on one key-board.
From 10:30 a.m. to noon,
Decatur County Commu-nity Choir, including a duet by Mary Frisbie and Tiffanie Evans; plus the Tradition Men’s Quartet (gospel) will perform.
From noon to 1 p.m., the cast of “Oklahoma” (Cen-tral Decatur Fall Musical) will showcase songs from their performances Friday, Nov. 8, Saturday, Nov. 9, and Sunday, Nov. 10 at the Leon Theater Building.
At 1 p.m. Beth Hall will be there with Central Deca-tur music students. At 1:30 p.m. Reflections Trio (gos-pel); and the Trinity Two duet performers will finish up the music for the day.
Sarah (Young) Cullen to give free concert at Graceland LAMONI — On Satur-
day, Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m., Graceland University alumna and violinist Sarah (Young) Cullen will give a free concert in Carol Hall, performing pieces by Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and Debussy.
Cullen, daughter of Jim and Debbie Young and a Lamoni High School grad-uate, started on the vio-lin at age 3 in the Lamoni Community Schools’ Su-zuki music program with
Marlys Lesley. She continued her stud-
ies with Louita Clothier and began playing in the Graceland Orchestra while in the eighth grade.
As a student at Lamoni High School, she played in the Iowa All-State Orches-tra for three years, as well as the Des Moines Youth Symphony and Des Moines Youth Chamber Players under Cheryl Kutscher.
Cullen went on to study music at Graceland Col-
lege during the 1992-93 school year where she was concertmaster of the or-chestra and sang in the choir. She then transferred to the University of Iowa where she completed her Bachelor of Music in Vio-lin Performance with Allen Ohmes.
Cullen’s graduate studies took her to DePaul Univer-sity in Chicago where she earned a Master’s in Violin Performance with Stefan Hersh.
She maintained an ac-tive teaching and freelance career in Chicago and Houston before returning to Iowa in 2004. She cur-rently lives in Clinton with her husband Shawn and three children: Ethan, age 9, Aubrey, age 6, and Kai-tlyn, age 4.
Cullen is a member of the first violin section of the Quad City Symphony in Davenport and gives regu-lar performances with her string quartet, Quartrio.

Three easy holiday-shopping strategies (BPT) — Thanksgiving
comes late this year, which means a shorter-than-usual holiday shopping season. Getting an early start on holi-day shopping can help ensure you have enough time to find gifts for everyone on your list — and perhaps, most impor-tantly, save money.
Here are three things to do now to save money and time this holiday season:
Create a list (and budget) for everyone on your list
Gift cards are a great op-tion this year. Savvy shop-ping tip: Look into your credit card rewards programs to see if you can cash in your accumulated rewards for gift cards, some of which are of-fered at a discount. Redeem-ing rewards for store gift cards is one of the easiest and most valuable ways to save cash, which means you won’t need to reach as deep into your pockets this season.
Do your research on sales and promotions
Doing your home-work before mak-ing holiday purchasescan also help you save even more.
Savvy shopping tip: Mark your calendars with the dates of big sales and keep coupons in your wallet so you can use them at a moment’s notice. If you’re shopping online, do a quick search for coupon codes that provide extra dis-counts, as well as free ship-ping or gift wrap.
Use credit card benefits and rewards to save extra cash
Savvy shopping tip: Use a credit card that provides
added security and purchaseprotection including war-ranties and return guar-antees that will help yousave in the long run.

WEST DES MOINES — Hy-Vee Chief Execu-tive Officer Randy Edeker announced a new effort to raise funds and awareness for important organizations serving the nation’s mili-tary members, veterans and their families.
Hy-Vee Homefront is a year-round initiative that will include events, promo-tions and donation oppor-tunities to support up to 3.9 million veterans located
within the company’s eight-state region.
Hy-Vee Homefront be-gins with support for three veterans’ organizations: Hope for the Warriors, Op-eration First Response and Puppy Jake Foundation. All three groups focus on supporting military mem-bers and their families once they’ve returned home from active duty.
“As a community partner, Hy-Vee has a long tradition
of supporting our military men and women and their families,” Edeker said. “However, we felt we could do more. Hy-Vee Home-front is another way for us to say thank you to those who have served our coun-try, and bring much-needed attention to organizations that are doing outstanding work on behalf of veterans in our local communities.”
Hy-Vee Homefront is in-tended to compliment Hy-
Vee’s existing veteran sup-port efforts, such as annual Veterans Day breakfasts, Honor Flights and sponsor-ships of other area veterans groups and facilities.
The first Hy-Vee Home-front event will run Nov. 6-16, giving customers the opportunity to round up their purchases to the near-est dollar — or desired dollar amount — with the proceeds benefiting the Hy-Vee Homefront organiza-
tions. Hy-Vee will match all donations from the ROUND UP program, up to $100,000.
“This is the first event of many we have planned throughout the year,” Ede-ker said. “Hy-Vee Home-front is not a one-time ef-fort. It is an ongoing and comprehensive campaign across eight states and all 234 of our stores to improve the lives of the thousands of veterans who have returned
home.”For more information on
Hy-Vee Homefront, visit www.Hy-Vee.com or look for the Hy-Vee Homefront logo in stores.
To retrieve the an-nouncement video, logos, announcement event foot-age and interview sound bites, access http://approv-als.screenscapestudios.com/Hy-Vee-Homefront/. Event footage will be available no later than 3:30 p.m. CST.
