Iowa Supreme Court to hear CCRC appeal Feb. 18 By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]

The date is set, and it has come much quicker than many would’ve expected.

During a Jan. 15 Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC) meeting, Dave Beck, project co-ordinator for the CCRC’s ongoing reservoir project, said the Iowa Supreme Court has set the oral ar-gument for the appeal on eminent domain to be heard Feb. 18, 2015.

“Certainly, this is much sooner than I told you it would happen,” Beck said. “I told you it would happen based on Ivan (attorney),

what he’s had in his history. Nor-mally, he would’ve thought the date would’ve been somewhere nine months to two years out.”

Attorney Ivan T. Webber is cur-rently the CCRC’s legal counsel on its reservoir project.

What is the project?CCRC’s ongoing reservoir proj-

ect in northern Clarke County could provide a water supply for Osceola and Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) with an 816-acre lake, which could pro-vide 2.2 million gallons of water per day.

West Lake, the current water source, doesn’t meet the needs of Clarke County and SIRWA.

The total project cost for the res-ervoir in the CCRC reservoir proj-ect is estimated at $37.6 million. Funding for the project includes many sources, especially funding from the local-option sales tax.

On April 8, 2014, Judge Sher-man W. Phipps of the Fifth Judi-cial District of Iowa ruled CCRC’s ongoing Squaw Creek Watershed

project is for a public use, public purpose or public improvement as defined in the Iowa Code.

Therefore, CCRC may use the power of declaratory judgment and eminent domain in the reser-voir project. Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for public use by a state.

Declaratory judgment is a court review for acquiring land for a pub-lic project. It authorizes CCRC to purchase land from voluntary sell-ers and exercise eminent domain for involuntary sellers within the area of the watershed project.

The appealAn appeal from local landown-

ers was filed May 6, 2014, in Clarke County Courthouse on the judge’s ruling in the CCRC court case.

However, the CCRC has the power to purchase land during the appeal process. Purchase agree-ments from local landowners are

Burglaries reported at CROSS Ministries, Clarke County Animal Shelter By AMY HANSEN OST news editor • [email protected]

Two burglaries occurred at two well-known Osceo-la businesses recently, and there’s a good chance both incidents are related.

According to Osceola Police Chief Marty Duffus, CROSS Ministries was bro-ken into sometime during the night of Saturday, Jan. 10, and morning of Sunday, Jan. 11.

A break-in at Clarke County Animal Shelter occurred during the same hours.

It isn’t known at this time if one or more suspects com-mitted the burglaries.

“It’s hard to say,” Duffus said. “... It used to be pretty much one person, but that’s not so much the case any-more. Sometimes it is, but you just never know.”

The suspect(s) broke the glass out of a door to gain entry into CROSS Minis-tries. Money was taken from the business, but an exact

loss amount was unavail-able.

Animal shelterAt the animal shelter, en-

try into the building was also gained by breaking a door. Dog food was reported as missing.

Not all of the details in the case could be reported to the news media, but Duffus did say an item of interest was a dog was taken from the shel-ter during the break-in.

“We did recover the dog,” he said.

Duffus said he believes the two burglaries are more than likely related.

“We can’t always say that, but more than likely they’re related. Whenever you have two on the same day, they’re most generally related,” he said. “It could be a co-incidence, but usually not. We’ve got some leads in the animal shelter that we’re fol-lowing up. We’ll see where that takes us over the next week.”

The incidents are current-ly under investigation by Os-ceola Police Department.

Teacher spotlight For McWilliams, patience, humor are keys to working with elementary students

OST photo by AMY HANSENSteve McWilliams, a fourth grade teacher at Clarke Community Elementary School, is pictured at his desk in his classroom.

By AMY HANSENOST news editor • [email protected]

Editor’s note: This is a continuation of the Os-ceola Sentinel-Tribune’s “Teacher spotlight” series.

Walk into Steve McWil-liams fourth grade class-room at Clarke Communi-ty Elementary School and some of the first things you’ll notice are his col-lection of Garfield the cat posters and Saint Louis Rams football parapher-nalia.

The classroom has an inviting atmosphere that helps to foster the educa-tion and learning process.

“Maybe I think like a 10-year-old, I don’t know. It works pretty well,” McWilliams said while laughing and shrugging his shoulders.

Local guyMcWilliams, who grew

up in Osceola, said he was a “late starter” to teach-ing because he worked for Jimmy Dean for 12 years and was in the U.S. Air Force.

The armed services seems to run in McWilliams’ fam-ily because he was born in Germany while his dad was stationed there in the mili-tary.

At the age of 30, McWil-liams went to get his teach-ing degree and graduated from Simpson College in Indianola.

McWilliams found a long-term substitute posi-tion at Clarke. He was hired to teach for the district soon after. He has taught fourth grade at Clarke for 20 years, and been in the same class-room for all of those years.

According to McWil-liams, there aren’t a lot of men in the elementary education field, and there needs to be more.

“I think I just like work-ing with kids, and at the ele-mentary level, the majority

really still like school, they like to please the teacher,” he said. “So, they’re just fun to work with. It’s fun to see the light go off when they learn new things.”

Being influencedMath is the subject

McWilliams likes teach-ing the most. One of his biggest influences growing up was Frank Riley, who taught math to McWilliams at Clarke Community High School.

“He always emphasized that there was more than one way to solve a math problem, and he would go above and beyond trying to help you if you did not see it one way, then you would look at it another way,” McWilliams said. “I just liked math because of that. It was fun in high school, and it can be real struggle for kids, and so, trying to find the way that works for

them is kind of a challenge, but it’s fun.”

Patience and humorFor McWilliams, the se-

cret to teaching children is to have patience and hu-mor.

“I think just trying to understand where they’re coming from, and remem-bering that some things are easy for some and hard for others, and then vice ver-sa,” he said. “I mean, every-body’s going to have their strengths and weaknesses, so just trying to be patient as

you pull them through that weak area, trying to make it a strength for them.”

Starting a teaching career at an older age than in his early 20s, as well as having children of his own, has helped McWilliams in the elementary education field.

“I mean, face it, when you have kids of your own, you have to develop that patience, and I think the patience and thinking like a 10-year-old still works to my advantage. It helps,” he said.

“I think just trying to understand where they’re coming from, and remembering that some things are easy for some and hard for oth-ers, and vice versa.”

Grassley, Ernst announce Senate Youth Program Iowa delegates

Senators Chuck Grass-ley, R-Iowa, and Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, announce that Jack Hostager of Dubuque and Joshua Hughes of New Vir-ginia have been selected to serve as the Iowa student delegates for the 53rd an-nual United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP), an interactive week-long study of the federal gov-ernment. Mitchell Dunn from Davenport and Rekha Karuparthy of Bettendorf were chosen as alternates. Hostager and Hughes will serve as delegates for the program’s Washington Week from March 7-14 in Washington, D.C., and will each receive a $5,000 schol-arship.

“I am thrilled that the hard work of these out-standing Iowa students is being recognized,” Ernst

said. “These students are our future leaders and I commend them for demon-strating such strong commit-ment to public service and interest in our government.”

“Young people are the key to the strength of our democracy in the future. With this experience, the student delegates will be able to learn about govern-ment first-hand,” Grassley said. “I congratulate them on this great opportunity and commend them for their hard work.”

According to the United States Senate Youth Pro-gram:

“The overall mission of the program is to help in-still within each class of USSYP student delegates more profound knowledge of the American political process and a lifelong com-

mitment to public service. In addition to the program week, The Hearst Founda-tions provide each student with a $5,000 undergradu-ate college scholarship with encouragement to continue coursework in government, history and public affairs. Transportation and all ex-penses for Washington Week are also provided by The Hearst Foundations; as stipulated in S.Res.324; no government funds are uti-lized.

“…The chief educational officer in each state selects the delegates after nomina-tion by teachers and princi-pals. This year’s delegates were designated by Dr. Brad Buck, Director of Ed-ucation.

“While in Washington the student delegates attend meetings and briefings with

Senators, House Represen-tatives and Congressional staff, the President, a Justice of the Supreme Court, lead-ers of cabinet agencies, an Ambassador to the United States and senior members of the national media. The students will also tour many of the national monuments and several museums and they will stay at the historic Mayflower Hotel in down-town Washington, D.C.

“In addition to outstand-ing leadership abilities and a strong commitment to volunteer work, the stu-dent delegates generally rank academically in the top one percent of their states among high school juniors and seniors.” For more information on the program, visit www.us-senateyouth.org.

Osceola Hiz Kidz blessingsBy Becky HoughtalingHiz Kidz

Happy New Year from Hiz Kidz.November was a great month at

Hiz Kidz. We added several more Kidz to our group and learned about being grateful — for our friends, fam-ilies and all the small things we take for granted. The Kidz made “grate-ful” pumpkins to take home to their families.

Our snacks and meals in November were provided by Family Table, Min-dy Knapp and family, Pat Courtney, Faith Fellowship Church and Osceola Methodist Church.

December came and went as quick-ly as November did. It was full of fun and surprises. Several of our Kidz went to the nursing home to sing car-ols to the residents.

Pastor Chuck DeVos of Life Point Church was our guest speaker in De-

cember. He captivated his audience of Kidz, volunteers and guests as he spread God’s love throughout the room.

Our snacks and meals in December were provided by Osceola Methodist Church, Diane Nish of K&D Tires in Osceola, Life Point Church, Family Table and Wanda Cowling, Loretta Carper, Carolyn Timmons and Ruth Roberts from Full Harvest.

The organizations and individu-als that support Hiz Kidz by gifts of food and/or money, as well as those who participate in our Monday night program are truly one of our greatest blessings. Thank you for being part of our team.

To find out more about us, visit 99Ways.org or check out Osceola Hiz Kidz on Facebook.

Visitors are always welcome on Monday nights, but don’t be sur-prised if we put you to work.

currently being worked out.In December, Iowa Supreme Court

agreed to hear the appeal filed by local Clarke County landowners against CCRC.

The appeal is about if CCRC has the right to the power of eminent do-main with its ongoing reservoir/wa-tershed project.

What is going to happen?Beck said, what could happen

during the Feb. 18 court date, is sev-eral cases could already be scheduled for 9 a.m. About a week ahead of the scheduled date, there will be a list for when all the day’s presentations will be held. The reservoir’s case could end up being at 11 a.m. or another time during that day.

Each side of the appeal will get 15 minutes, and then the appellant will get another five minutes. Then, the

justices will take time to ask their own questions on the case.

Beck said the justices will render their written decision, and it could end up being a split vote with a ma-jority opinion or minority opinion.

“This all takes time and Ivan says there’s no statutory limit on how fast they have to get their decision,” Beck said.

Beck said he would be in atten-dance for oral arguments, which are open to the public, and he encour-aged reservoir commission members to also attend.

“Is this the last step? I mean, no matter how it comes out (with the appeal) … or is this the end of it?” CCRC member Dan McIntosh asked.

Beck mentioned there’s a federal court, but Iowa Supreme Court is the highest level in the state.

“That’s what’s going on there,” Beck said.

IOWA SUPREME COURT:

Budget principles, proposalBy Rep. Joel FryHouse District 27 [email protected]

2015-16 House budget prin-ciples

House Republicans are com-mitted to these principles to produce a balanced and sus-tainable state budget:

1. We will spend less than the state collects;

2. We will not use one-time money to fund on-going needs;

3. We will not balance the budget by intentionally under-funding programs; and

4. We will return unused tax dollars to Iowa’s taxpayers.

Gov. Branstad’s budget pro-posal

The governor’s budget spends $7.3410 billion in FY 2016, an increase of $346.7 million over FY 2015 or 4.95 percent. Branstad’s FY 2016 proposal spends more money than the Revenue Estimating Conference’s December ongo-ing revenue estimate of $7.1946 billion. The gap between on-going revenue and the Gover-

nor’s budget is approximately $146.4 million.

For FY 2017, the governor is proposing a general fund budget of $7.5252 billion. This would be an increase of $184.2 million or 2.50 percent.

Each of the past four years, the budget passed by the Legis-lature has spent less than what the governor proposed. The FY 2016 budget will continue this trend.

Ninety percent of Iowa’s

budget goes to three areas — school aid ($2.9 billion), wages and benefits for state employ-ees ($2.1 billion), and Medicaid ($1.6 billion).

Over the past decade, state revenue has grown by 4.1 per-cent annually, state spending on K-12 education grew by 4.2 percent, and Medicaid grew by 11.7 percent.

Fifty-five percent of the gov-ernor’s FY 2016 budget pro-posal is targeted to education.

The House is looking for-ward to working with Gov. Branstad and the Senate to put together a budget that keeps Iowa in a strong financial po-sition.

I look forward to seeing you at one of the scheduled forums for January.

Graceland University Top 10 Rankings by US News and World Report

LAMONI – Graceland Uni-versity’s master’s programs in education and nursing were ranked in the top 10 Best On-line Programs in the country by the U.S. News and World Re-port’s annual rankings edition of the Best Online Education Programs.

Graceland’s Online Masters Programs’ rankings are:

• No. 5 in the country for Graduate Education programs

• No. 9 in the country for Graduate Nursing programs

The rankings improve on three years of Graceland Uni-versity top 20 rankings by U.S. News & World Report. The 2015 rankings evaluate infor-mation and data from nearly 1,000 online degree programs.

President Sellars praised the nursing and education facul-ty and staff noting, “We are incredibly pleased by the an-nouncement of the new U.S. News & World Report rank-ings. Graceland University con-tinues to strive to provide excel-lent educational opportunities across the board, and these pro-grams are obviously getting it right. We commend the faculty and staff in these areas for their dedication and hard work.”

Programs for distance learn-ers that are 100 percent on-line were ranked numerically, just like traditional colleges and graduate schools. For the 2014 edition of the Best Online Graduate Programs rankings, U.S. News incorporated pro-gram ratings by peer institu-tions.

Other criteria were:• Student engagement• Faculty credentials and

training

• Student services and tech-nology

• Admissions selectivityOnline programs are becom-

ing more prevalent each year as students need the convenience of an online environment, and online education plays an in-creasingly important role in higher education, as more and more schools join the list of ed-ucational institutions offering online courses, making it diffi-cult to stand out. Graceland is meeting the challenge by con-sistently providing academic excellence.

U.S. News and World Re-port is a multi-platform, digital publisher of news and analysis, which includes the digital-only U.S. News Weekly magazine, www.usnews.com, and www.rankingsandreviews.com. U.S.

News and World Report’s sig-nature franchise includes its News You Can Use® brand of journalism and its “Best” series of consumer guides that include rankings of colleges, gradu-ate schools, hospitals, mutual funds, health plans and more.

Graceland opened its doors in 1895. After nearly 90 years of exclusively serving the needs of traditional-age students at the Lamoni campus, Graceland branched out and became one of the pioneers of distance ed-ucation to meet the needs of working adults. At the Inde-pendence, Mo., campus, there are online and on-campus pro-grams in nursing and education, as well as online programs in business and religion. The goal is to serve all students with car-ing and community.

New Year’s resolutions broken already?

Three weeks into the New Year, it’s time to take stock of your reso-lutions for 2015. Did you resolve to get more exercise? Lose weight? Eat healthier meals?

The determination to improve your health may have been strong and un-shakeable on Jan. 1, but as the cold weather put a damper on your daily walks and your favorite comfort food started calling your name, the excite-ment for your personal makeover may have started to grow dim.

“It’s not a sign of personal defeat to find you are unable to stick to all the big plans you had for better health,” said Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “Common mis-takes in setting goals include making them too big, too high, or not specific enough to actually complete. It’s bet-ter to take small steps.”

With each small victory, Quinlisk said people find greater motivation to continue their journey to good health.

“There are simple resolutions we can all keep,” Quinlisk said. “If you do each of these things every

day, you’ll be on your way to better health.”

Quinlisk’s suggestions include:• Drink one glass of water before

each meal — research shows this easy action increases hydration and de-creases hunger.

• Stand up at every commercial (radio or TV) — recent studies show that sitting for long periods may be as damaging to your health as smoking.

• Eat one raw fruit or vegetable with each meal — you’ll add fiber and anti-oxidants to every meal.

• When shopping, take the first open parking space and walk — an easy way to add exercise to your daily routine.

Stand on one foot while brushing teeth — it’s harder than it sounds! You’ll improve balance and strength-en core muscles.

Each member from the other seven teams also re-ceived tools and supplies from the association for their participation in this competition.

Roadrunners stun 11th-ranked CDBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]

TRURO — Interstate 35 came out on top of a back-and-forth battle with fellow Pride of Iowa Conference heavyweight Central De-catur here Saturday in the Coaches vs. Cancer game.

The Roadrunners handed Central Decatur its first loss of the season in a 46-40 vic-tory, holding the Cardinals scoreless over the final five-plus minutes of the game.

Cardinal sophomore Rae-gan Boothe got a bucket from the low block to give Central Decatur a 40-34 lead, but the Roadrunners closed it to 40-37 after a Gracey Griglione free throw and then a pull-up jumper after a blocked shot at the other end.

Coming out of a CD timeout with 5:09 left, the Cardinals went into a stall offense. Meanwhile, Inter-state 35 head coach Jamie Smith brought sophomore post player Riley Morris back into the game with four fouls.

After the Cardinals held the ball for more than one minute, Interstate 35 forced a turnover and Morris sank a 3-pointer from the top of

the key to tie the game at 40-40. Griglione gave the Roadrunners a 42-40 lead with a pull-up jumper.

“My dad was pulling my leg, saying we’ve got to get her (Morris) back in there,” Smith said. “And she helps us on the rebounding side of it. That was the key thing. She had confidence tonight. That was a huge 3-pointer. I thought maybe it took a lit-tle umph out of them, a little energy.”

Sophomore Slye Richard-son made 4-of-4 free throws in the final 20 seconds to ice the game away for Interstate 35.

The win improved Inter-state 35 to 8-2 in the Pride of Iowa Conference and renewed the Roadrunners’ hopes of a POI champion-ship. The Roadrunners sit one game behind Bedford and Central Decatur, tied at the top with records of 9-1.

The Roadrunners trav-el to Bedford Friday in a key game in the conference standings, while Central De-catur travels to Nodaway Valley, which sits 1.5 games back of the POI leaders with a 7-2 record.

“Great win. Great ball-game. Great high school game,” Smith said. “I

thought we played hard, but that puts us back in the hunt, puts a couple of other teams in the hunt. I couldn’t be more proud of my team tonight.”

Griglione led all scorers with 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to go with sev-en blocked shots. Morris added 13 points with five boards. Richardson scored six points.

For Central Decatur, Boothe scored 14 points with four rebounds before fouling out. Lydia Martin added 11 points with six rebounds. Lily Simon and Jentri Hullinger each scored six points. Hallie Linhart scored just two points, but had eight rebounds and five assists.

Both teams got out to a fast start, finishing the first quarter in a 20-20 tie. Morris sank three 3-pointers in the opening quarter.

“I think Riley has that capability to make shots,” Smith said. “We were hot early. Our goal tonight was to keep them under 45 points. Thought if we could keep them under 45, we had a chance. After the first quarter, it looked like it was going to be in the 80s, but it’s a game of runs.”

Cardinals remain unbeaten in POI

By SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]

TRURO — Central De-catur remained unbeaten in Pride of Iowa Conference play here Saturday with a come-from-behind 55-51 win over Interstate 35 in the Coaches vs. Cancer game.

The Cardinals are 10-0 in league play entering Friday’s showdown with 8-1 Nodaway Valley in Greenfield. The Wolverines saw their 58-game POI winning streak snapped Jan. 15 in a loss to Interstate 35.

The Roadrunners, mean-while, drop to 7-3 in POI play, sitting one game behind Bed-ford for third place.

Interstate 35 held one-point leads at the end of the first quarter and at the half, before building a 36-29 lead early in the third quarter on a Daniel Kennedy layup in transition.

The Cardinals quickly cut it to 36-34 after an Aaron Lin-hart 3-pointer and a Linhart floater.

But a Lucas Ealy bucket, followed by back-to-back

steals leading to layups by Cole Daniels and Zach Goer-ing gave Interstate 35 a 42-34 lead with 3:59 remaining in the third quarter.

After a CD timeout, the Cardinals went on a 10-0 run into the fourth quarter, build-ing a 44-42 lead.

“I think it was huge, be-cause it put us in control,” Central Decatur head coach Zach Clark said. “I think if we don’t close it at the end of the third quarter, if we get in the fourth quarter down six or eight, they would have pulled it out and we would have had to go man, and Jaylan (White) would have sliced us up. We knew we couldn’t get into that situation.”

White’s drive to the bas-ket tied it at 44-44, but Cen-tral Decatur countered with a Noah Simon drive and a Linhart steal that resulted in a layup.

Three times the Roadrun-ners cut the lead back to two points down the stretch, but could never draw any closer.

“You know, I told the boys tonight, we defended well, our rotations were sharp — we just missed some shots at

the end that we’ve hit for a long time,” I-35 head coach Nate Rankin said.

“I can’t be mad at the kids’ effort. The shots we took were excellent, we just didn’t make them. We made the plays we needed to, we just didn’t make the shots we needed to. That comes down to CD played great defense.”

The Cardinals shot 7-of-10 from the free throw line down the stretch, making just enough to hold off the Road-runners.

Nick Durrell, in his first game back in the Cardinal lineup after missing the pre-vious seven games, scored 15 points to go with nine re-bounds to lead the Cardinals.

“I can’t describe it. With him, we have that inside pres-ence,” Clark said. “He’s so athletic and he’s great at re-bounding and blocking shots. It was huge to have him back for us tonight. He was really the difference maker in the game.”

Simon added 13 points and Peyton Pedersen scored 12. For Interstate 35, White scored 13 and Ealy added 12. Cole Daniels scored 10.

Panthers shoot past Clarke in opening minutesBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]

Creston took Clarke out of its game plan within the first two minutes here Monday in a 63-28 victory over the visiting Lady In-dians.

The Panthers shot 4-of-4 from behind the 3-point arc in the first two min-utes of the game, deflating

Clarke early.Creston went on to open

the game on an 18-0 run, before Baylie Balcaen scored Clarke’s first bas-ket of the game.

“Thought we really had a good game plan and then Creston comes out and shoots 4-4 in two minutes on 3-pointers,” Clarke head coach Eric Zoske said. “That really changed everything and deflated

our mentality a little bit.”Creston cruised to a

26-2 lead at the end of the first quarter, hitting a total of five 3-pointers in the first quarter. Jen-na Taylor, Taylor Briley and Alli Thomsen hit one apiece, while Brenna Bak-er knocked down two.

“I really was happy with the way we came out to play tonight,’ Creston head coach Brent Douma

said. “Of course, when you hit the first four shots and they’re all threes, that goes well from there. I just felt we really did stay fo-cused and played hard. Didn’t let down.”

The Panthers held leads of 43-6 at halftime and 60-14 after three quarters.

Briley led the Panthers with 18 points, while Tay-lor finished with 17. Cam-my Rutherford added 12 points and Baker finished with nine points.

B a l -caen led C l a r k e with eight p o i n t s , w h i l e V a n e s s a B a k l e y c h i p p e d in seven p o i n t s , including a 3-pointer.

“Third quarter, I thought we played well,” Zoske said. “We actual-ly beat them the second half, 22-20. So if there’s a positive for the night, that’s it. We need to learn how to handle ball pres-sure. Our guards pick up the ball too quick. We’re not getting open. There’s no movement off the ball. That kind of leaves Mad-di (Heath) and Syd (Red-man) on their own a little bit, which we need to fix.”

Heath added four

points, while Savannah Gilbert scored three. Kassidy Spurgin, Hannah Moore and Amanda Kin-dred each finished with two points.

Clarke dropped to 0-14 for the season with the loss. But, with all avail-able players healthy for the first time this season, things are looking up for the Lady Indians.

“Sydnee was out for half the year. Maddi, this is only her fourth or fifth game back. Had everyone all together for the first time on Friday,” Zoske said. “Chynna (Beydler) is still unable to come to road games. It’s taken a little bit longer to get bet-ter, because of so many in-juries.”

Clarke played well early with unbeaten Knoxville on Friday, before the Pan-thers pulled away for a 59-26 win. Knoxville suffered its first loss of the season Saturday, but remains un-beaten in the SCC.

“The last two games, we played Chariton and Knoxville,” Zoske said. “I was really pumped after the game. We ended up losing both of them, but we were beating Knoxville in the first quarter. They were undefeated. They ended up pulling away from us, but it gave the girls confidence.”

By Chuck DeVosLead pastor LifePoint Church

Recently, Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reyn-olds took their oaths of office. I had the privilege of offer-ing the benediction at the inauguration, and also had the privilege of presenting a charge to Lt. Gov. Reynolds at the Service of Dedication.

However you voted in the election, let me challenge you to hold our leaders up in prayer. Below is the charge I pre-sented to Reynolds. Please join me in praying for her and all of our local, state and national leaders.

“Lt. Gov. Reynolds,When we think of individuals in the Scriptures, we tend to

think of men. David, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, the list goes on. But the scriptures also include many significant female characters who left their mark in history through their lead-ership qualities.

Eve shows us that leaders are the target for temptation and that leaders have to face challenges and make difficult choices.

Rebekah shows us that leaders are always willing to give, often giving more than they’re asked for. They put the needs of others before their own.

Miriam shows us that leaders look out for the helpless, that they don’t side with bullies and they defend the de-fenseless.

Deborah teaches us that leaders inspire their followers. They’re cheerleaders who encourage, motivate and inspire their followers with supportive words.

Ruth teaches us that leaders demonstrate loyalty and de-votion to those they serve and the people who have helped shape them.

And Mary of Nazareth shows us that leaders embrace great opportunities with willingness and enthusiasm and know that the greater the possibility there is for failure, the

greater the opportunity there is for success.

It is not by chance that we stand here again, this evening, as we did four years ago. That evening I stated that clear-ly, God had prepared you for such a time as this. I reiterate that this evening. You have demonstrated exceptional leadership, as these women in the scripture have done, and as such, the people of Iowa have re-elected you to serve them in the office of lieutenant governor, giving you continued opportunity to make Iowa a better place to live, work and raise a family.

As you, once again, accept this great privilege and re-sponsibility, will you continue to be challenged by the word of God and the people of Iowa to be a servant leader?

Will you continue to work for the betterment of the peo-ple of Iowa, consistently and determinedly seeking the best for each individual, and the state as a whole?

Will you continue to pursue advancement in all facets of life for every Iowan and continue to set an example for all Iowans in character, integrity and openness?

Will you welcome wise counsel as you uphold the duties of the office of lieutenant governor, and pray daily for wis-dom and guidance as you serve the people of Iowa?

If, under God, this is your intent and the purpose in ac-cepting this high calling, please signify the same by affirm-ing: “With God’s help, I will.”

[Reynolds: ‘I will.’]And now, I challenge you, as God challenged Israel’s

King David: Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. (Psalm 37:3 & 5, ESV)”
