Infrastructure, lake project dominate legislative luncheon dialogue

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Roads and water — those were two of the most discussed topics during a legislative luncheon Jan. 24 at Lakeside Casino.

Rep. Joel Fry, R-Osceola, and Sen. Amy Sinclair, RAllerton, spoke during the luncheon, which was sponsored by Clarke County Development Corporation.

Sinclair said one of her priorities during the legislative session is addressing the needs of the state’s infrastructure, including roads and bridges.

“Now, being in the district I’m in, having Wayne and Decatur county in my district,” Sinclair said, “I’m not interested in just adding another tax on to fuel that would drive people down to Missouri to buy gas, along with their cheaper cigarettes and higher alcohol content beer and fireworks.”

Other option If the solution isn’t through fuel taxes, what is it?

Sinclair said she recently filed a bill with other cosponsors in the Iowa Senate. “(It) would take 2 per-

MURRAY — It’s time for the rise of the machines.

On Jan. 11, Murray Engineering Club’s (MEC) FIRST Tech Challenge’s (FTC) robotics team went to Sergeant Bluff for a competition and won the “Winning Alliance” and “Rockwell Collins Innovate” awards. The team advanced to state competition Feb. 2122 at the Marriott Hotel in Coralville.

Zac Thacker, a senior, does a lot of the computer programming for the team.

“I’m the only one that really understands it,” Thacker said with a laugh. “I did

do some basic programming a couple of years ago. It kind of helped lead into this. I already kind of knew what I was doing and what I was looking for.”

The engineering club was formed four years ago and has 25 members consisting of junior-high and seniorhigh students.

Eight members of the club are also involved with the FTC robotics team. Their team name is “MECanism.”

The team consists of four boys and four girls.

What is FIRST Tech Challenge?

FTC is designed for students in seventh through 12th grade to compete headto-head using a sports model. Teams are responsible

With two councilmen absent and another having to abstain on voting, an agenda item became a conflict of interest during a Jan. 22 Osceola City Council meeting.

The agenda item concerned approving the city council’s $3,000 contribution to Osceola Senior Center.

Since Councilmen Chris Dorsey and Dan Hooper were absent and Councilman Glenn Schaff is on the senior center board, there weren’t enough councilmen who would be allowed to vote on the issue. The council didn’t have a quorum.

Mayor Fred Diehl said the issue wasn’t about attempting to withhold fund-

to close three bridges and lower the weight and speed limit on two others.

“It’s just a dire need. I don’t think people understand that we have to address it,” McCann said. “I guess I’m not going to argue one way or the other for gas tax, or whatever. But, I think we need appropriate funding to do it, however you do it.”

ing, but rather not having enough councilmen present to have a quorum and vote on the issue.

Additional funding The city budgets $3,000 annually toward the senior center, which has been struggling with financial issues. In March, the council increased that budget to $6,000 per fiscal year and issue two separate payments.

That payment system would allow the council the chance to review the senior center’s financial situation every six months.

Ty Wheeler, Osceola city administrator/clerk, said the council didn’t have an update on financial reports from the senior center, which would be helpful when approving the next contribution to the senior center. Payments are issued twice a year.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to change the terms of the $3,000 that we usually give, but to require additional documentation that we need,” Wheeler said.

Schaff said he didn’t see how him sitting on the senior-center board could be a conflict of interest since he doesn’t get paid to sit on the board.

Schaff “I was always under the impression if you sat on a board, and you get paid, then it would be a conflict of interest,” Schaff said.

for designing, building and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams.

The robot kit is reusable from year to year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers are required to develop a strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles.

Awards are given for competition, as well as for community outreach, design and other real-world accomplishments. College scholarships are also available through FTC. How did MEC start?

Even though the engineering club has been around for four years, this is only the second year students have participated in a FTC robotics team.

Murray science teacher Andy Hitz helps to coach the club. The club first originated when students in a physics class wanted to build a T-shirt shooting gun.

“That kind of started the idea that maybe we needed a club here that focused on engineering,” Hitz said.

“We had a lot of interest in it. We built rockets … last year we got hooked in with

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Response to senior center resignation

By GLENN SCHAFF

Osceola city councilman

This letter is to let the public know that effective Jan. 23, 2014, I have resigned my position on Osceola Senior Center board.

At the Jan. 22, 2014, city council meeting, former council member Sarah Truitt came before the council to advise them of a conflict of interest because of myself serving on the senior center board and city council as a member at-large.

Each year, the city issues a contribution to Osceola Senior Center to assist with the operation. Checks are issued twice a year and voted on by the city council. At the Jan. 22, 2014, meeting, only three members were present to vote on the first check.

Because of only having three council members present, and the conflict of interest being brought up, the council’s decision was to take no action on the funding and postpone voting on the issuing of funds to the senior center until the next council meeting.

Personally, I am truly disgusted that our former city council member

would risk the funds being issued to Osceola Senior Center to get back at me. In her re-election campaign, she discussed her accomplishments. One of the accomplishments was securing more funding for Osceola Senior Center. This action certainly contradicts that statement.

I want to apologize to anyone in the community who feels this was a conflict of interest for me serving on two boards at the same time. I chose to resign from Osceola Senior Center board because I know how important the funds are to the senior center.

The senior center serves hot meals to local people in and around the community. Some people rely on this meal as it is the only hot meal they receive each day. I hope in the future her attacks at me will not affect innocent people or community organizations.

I was told the city council has a budget work session Jan. 30, 2014, at 7 p.m.

On the evening of Dec. 28, 2013, our vehicle struck a deer on Interstate 35 North near Osceola, Iowa.

We were assisted by several members of your community, as well as fellow travelers.

A special thank you to our heroes for going above and beyond the call of duty: • Paramedics and EMTs (Tricia, Sam, Shelly and Kurt) • Physicians and nurses (Dr. Gaylene, Sande and Kira) • Osceola Police Department • Osceola Fire Department

• Clarke County Sheriff’s Office • Clarke County Ambulance • Iowa State Patrol • The semi-driver who swerved to miss our vehicle and ended up in the snowy ditch.

• The family traveling behind us who also swerved to miss our vehicle, then stopped and assisted with blankets. Note: We still have two blankets belonging to that family, which we would love to return. Please contact us if anyone knows their identity.

• The numerous travelers who stopped to offer assistance.

We are doing well, other than some bruises and a broken foot. Thanks again to everyone who came to our aid.

the First Tech Challenge and (the) robotics program is really cool.”

When students were asked what first interested them in joining MEC, these were some of their responses: • “I like building things.”

• “I’m going to college for computer science, so it kind of fit.”

• “I liked it. It was something no other club did.”

• “I like doing things hands-on, and this was a chance to actually give it a shot and do stuff and make awesome things.”

On to state This will be the first time the Murray’s robotics team has advanced to state.

The team designed a robot to do a series of actions and movements, which include picking up blocks, going up ramps and dispensing the blocks in goals. Their robot’s name is MECatron Mark 3.

Programming the robot for state competition is still in the works.

“They’re looking into what types of upgrades they might do to their robot to let it do more stuff,” Hitz said.

Iowa Department of Education released the latest edition of the Annual Condition of Education report recently.

The report provides a wide range of state-level data, including shifts in student populations and demographics, teacher salaries and characteristics, student achievement results and school financial information. The report contains the most recent data through the 2012-13 school year, unless otherwise noted.

The report also includes two unique sections: • An evaluation of the impact of the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program on the third-grade assessment results of students who participated in the preschool program during the 2008-09 school year.

• A study that examines the relationship between student achievement and teacher retention in Iowa schools.

Highlights include: Students in public schools • 20.2 percent: Minority student enrollment, up from 14.9 percent in 2008-09.

• 41 percent: Students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, up from 27 percent 12 years ago.

LUNCHEON: Continued from Page 1

CCRC’s lake project Another topic that drew a lot of public comment was Clarke County Reservoir Commission’s (CCRC) Squaw Creek Watershed project.

The ongoing CCRC project could provide a water supply for Osceola and Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) with an 816-acre lake, which could provide 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 reservoir in the CCRC Squaw Creek Watershed is estimated at $37.6 million. Funding for the project includes many sources, especially funding from the local-option sales tax.

Right now, CCRC is going through the process of declaratory judgment with the watershed project.

Declaratory judgment is a

court review for acquiring land for a public project. It authorizes CCRC to purchase land from voluntary sellers and exercise eminent domain for involuntary sellers within the area of the watershed project. Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for public use by a state.

A court date in Clarke County was set for March 10 to determine if CCRC can authorize declaratory judgment in its watershed project.

There were other public concerns about businesses leaving Osceola for another location with an adequate and cheaper supply of water and no sewer taxes.

Local concerns Osceola resident Dr. Jim Kimball asked if Sinclair and Fry knew of any efforts to block the lake project in the legislature or if they would be a part of the process to block the lake.

Fry said there is eminentdomain legislation that has

emerged in the House, and it also includes many issues from across the state.

“Eminent domain conversation is alive in the Iowa House and in the Iowa Senate, not just for what’s going on in Clarke County, but as it relates to the northern half of the state and also as it relates to an issue around Pella,” Fry said. “ ...

From a large context of eminent domain, I would expect to see more conversation around that.”

Use of eminent domain Sinclair said she wanted to clarify she only supports judicious use of eminent domain.

“I do not support the use of eminent domain for economic development purposes alone, for recreational purposes alone,” Sinclair said. “I do not support eminent domain outside of what is essential for public good. I don’t want to be unclear about that. I support only very judicious use of eminent domain in all circumstances.”

CONFLICT: Continued from Page 1

was on the board, it would be a conflict of interest.

“You are a part of them,” Diehl said. “It’s, I don’t know. That whole thing is a loose cannon because we’ve got some other situations where, I think, there is a conflict of interest.”

Public comment The conflict of interest issue was also mentioned during the public-comment section of the council meeting.

Sarah Truitt, a member of Osceola Parks and Recreation board and former Osceola city councilwoman, said she approached the council six to eight months ago about possible additional funding to Osceola’s Latino Festival, which she

helped organize. The item was never put on the agenda.

“If that had ever come to a vote, I would’ve abstained from voting because of my involvement in the committee,” Truitt said. “I wouldn’t have thought it was fair for me to vote for something that was in my interest.”

Truitt said she was concerned about council members voting on the issue who have a conflict of interest and the problems it could create.

“I think it’s important for us to keep that focus on the entire community and not just certain segments of the community and how it can grow as a whole,” Truitt said.

Announcement A budget work session for the city council was scheduled 7 p.m. Jan. 29, and the senior center funding will likely be on the work session’s agenda.

During verbal council reports at the end of the meeting, Schaff made an announcement he would step down from the senior center board the next morning.

“You know, you wonder why it’s so hard to get somebody on a board. We’ve just seen a good example of it,” Schaff said. “And, I will step off the board in the morning as soon as it opens.

And, also, there’s a certain amount of animosity behind that. I will be off the board in time for the next meeting.”

Iowa unemployment rate drops to 4.2 percent DES MOINES – Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to a postrecession low of 4.2 percent in December from a revised November rate of 4.3 percent. The comparable rate for December 2012 was 5.0 percent. The U.S. unemployment rate for December dropped to 6.7 percent from 7.0 percent in November, as more people left the labor

force.

“In contrast to the national trend, Iowa made considerable progress toward expanding its labor force in 2013,” said Teresa Wahlert, director of Iowa Workforce Development. “The state’s labor force grew in response to the increase in total employment, which surpassed 1.6 million in December.”

The statewide pool of un-

employed persons dropped to 70,200 in December, its lowest level for the year.

The December estimate was down from 72,100 in November and 81,700 one year ago.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,602,300 in December from 1,593,300 in November. The current figure is 53,400 higher than one year ago.

Seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment Total nonfarm employment shed 2,400 jobs in December, lowering the monthly total to 1,528,500.

This loss is only the fourth during the calendar year, and primarily due to largerthan-expected declines in seasonal industries. Government added 500 jobs in local government, yet the public sector posted a loss of 1,700 jobs since last December.

Alternatively, private industries lost 2,900 jobs this month, but remain up 14,500 jobs from last year’s level.

Trade and transportation led all super sectors this month with a gain of 2,200 jobs. The increase was fueled by growth in wholesale (+2,200) and retail trade (+1,400). This month’s gain is good news for Iowa’s retail and wholesale trade industries, which cumulatively

had reported losses in each of the last four months.

However, the gain in these industries was partially offset by declines in transportation and warehousing (-1,400). Manufacturing increased by 1,000 jobs in December, which was reflected in both nondurable (+600) and durable goods (+400) factories.

Job losses this month were widespread, and concentrated in seasonal industries. Leisure and hospitality lost the largest number of jobs (-2,600), followed by construction (-1,900). Financial activities decreased by 800 jobs, marking the fifth loss in the last six months.

This recent weakness is in stark contrast to the expansion that occurred from January 2012 through June 2013, when jobs were pared

only once. Despite the yearend declines, finance remains up 700 jobs from the same month one year ago.

Since last December, total nonfarm employment has increased by 12,800 jobs. Trade and transportation led all super sectors (+5,000) due to higherthan-expected gains in wholesale and retail trade.

Professional and business services followed closely (+4,900), and education and health services ranked in third place (+3,200).

Manufacturing lost some of its momentum during the second half of 2013, but still advanced by 2,900 jobs over the year. Only three of the private sectors were down from last year: other services (-1,300), leisure and hospitality (-1,100) and information (-1,000).

National Marriage Week

By Pastor Sheldon Lorenson Faith Fellowship

Our president has made income inequality a major issue in his administration. He wants everyone to help in the fight against poverty.

One of the best ways our church can fight poverty is to work for healthy marriages. Feb. 7 through 14 is National Marriage Week — “a collaborative campaign to strengthen individual marriages, reduce the divorce rate and build a stronger marriage culture, which in turn helps curtail poverty and benefits children.”

Count me in. And, I hope you and your church will take part, as well. Iowans and others have heard a great deal about the personal benefits of marriage in terms of health and happiness. And, of course, children do better by nearly every measure in intact families.

But, marriage’s benefits go beyond the personal — society itself benefits from strong marriages. Especially in the economic area. We’ve heard a great deal lately about the growing economic divide and economic inequality. What we don’t hear enough about is the role that family formation — or more to the point, the lack of family formation — plays in this divide.

The Brookings Institution, a moderate-to-liberal Washington think tank, has estimated that poverty rates would be 25 percent lower if marriage rates were the same today as they were in 1970. Sadly, they’re not.

In 1970, 84 percent of all U.S.-born 30-to-44-year olds were married. Today, the percentage is below 60 percent.

According to Bowling Green State University, “Since 1970, the marriage rate has declined by almost 60 percent.”

What’s even worse is the decline of marriage has been most pronounced amongst the most vulnerable segments of the population — the less-affluent and least-well-educated.

This vulnerability was the subject of a recent article at the Atlantic Monthly’s website. The title of the article says it all, “Wealthy Women Can Afford to Reject Marriage, But FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH (Disciples of Christ), 300 South Main St., The Rev. Dr. Al Adams, minister, Sunday - 9 a.m. - Sunday school for all, 10 a.m. - Worship, Wednesday, 5:30 p.m. Soul Cafe worshipful supper.

Poor Women Can’t.”

As the author Emma Green wrote, “For a poor woman, deciding whether to get married or not will be a big part of shaping her economic future.”

Indeed, especially if children are involved.

As National Marriage Week USA Executive Director Sheila Weber wrote for Fox News, there is a “2 percent chance of poverty if you finish high school, work full time and postpone marriage and childbearing until age 21. If you don’t do these three things, there is a 77 percent chance of poverty.”

Thus, while for more affluent women, “deciding whether to get married is a choice about independence, [and] lifestyle,” for poorer women, it’s a choice that goes a long way toward their and their children’s future.

To be clear, marriage isn’t a “silver bullet.” It’s not a cure-all for poverty. But, it’s an important weapon in our battle against poverty and even inequality.

As a 2012 Heritage Foundation study put it, “The U.S. is steadily separating into a two-caste system with marriage and education as the dividing line. In the high-income third of the population, children are raised by married parents with a college education; in the bottom-income third, children are raised by single parents with a high-school diploma or less.”

None of this is debatable — the social science data on the link between marriage and poverty is overwhelming. It’s just inconvenient for those who are wed — pun intended — to a narrative that values independence and freedom.

As Christians, we’re called to love our neighbor and to pray for the welfare of our communities. For the benefit of all, we need to get the truth about marriage out. And, that’s why National Marriage Week is so important.

How to keep your kids active during the winter months (BPT) — As the holidays wind down, so do the temperatures. As a parent, you know your kids can get restless in the winter months while they’re cooped up inside. It’s tempting to let the tablets and video games provide hours of entertainment, but it’s important that kids stay active to keep their minds and bodies healthy. With a little creativity, you can keep your kids moving and prevent the winter blues. Here are some ideas: Take out some throwback games After hours of being indoors, kids will quickly get bored of their own games and toys. Take this opportunity to teach them games from your childhood. Create an indoor hopscotch court with some tape or break out that old board game from the attic. Make up new rules to refresh the games and make them original to your family. Record the game ideas in a notebook or binder so your kids can easily pick out a fun activity on the

next snow day.

Cook together Cooking is a great activity because the whole family can get involved. Assign everyone a job, like peeling, mixing or measuring. Kids can even practice their reading skills by reading the recipe aloud from a cookbook. Cooking with children also encourages them to try new foods because they’ve had a hand in making the finished product.

Tackle that big project You may have spring cleaning plans, but get a head start on that big cleanout project this winter. Get the whole family involved in reorganizing the garage or painting the guest room. Go through old boxes or pictures with your kids and share family memories along the way.

Give your kids different tasks and let them be “in charge” of different parts of the project.

Once the project is complete, you will all feel satisfied that you worked togeth-

er and checked a big to-do off the list.

Go on an indoor adventure Sometimes the cabin fever is too much to bear and you have to get out of the house.

As long as the weather allows for safe travel, bundle up the kids and hop in the car in search of an indoor adventure. Find an indoor pool at a local recreation center. Take a trip to an indoor ice skating or roller skating rink. You can also start a bowling tournament with other families from school or the neighborhood.

After the chilly trip outside to the car, you’ll all be longing for your warm house in no time.

Once you get home, relax together with a nutritious snack and pair it with a fun beverage, like Mott’s new Juice Drinks. These naturally sweetened juice drinks contain 40 percent less sugar than full-strength juice and are available in three flavors, fruit punch rush, wild grape surge and strawberry boom, to suit any palate.

Three easy steps to sweeten someone’s Valentine’s Day Creative gift solutions offer a simple way to show you care (BPT) — Nearly everyone has more than one special person in their life. Whether it’s a neighbor who lets the dog out, the friend who watches the kids in a pinch or a colleague who makes Mondays a little more bearable, loved ones make our days better.

A simple thank you or a small thank you gift can go a long way in showing those people just how much you appreciate them.

A recent survey revealed that most people do have multiple “loves” in their lives. In fact, significant others aren’t the only ones who get Valentine’s Day gifts these days. This survey, which was commissioned

by Rich Products, a leading provider to foodservice, in-store bakery and retail marketplaces, showed that Valentine’s Day now extends way beyond that one special person.

Forty four percent of people said that they purchase gifts for multiple people on Valentine’s Day. When asked to identify their “other loves,” friends were at the top of the list; and surprisingly, among their favorite gifts were fresh baked goods ranging from cookies, cup-

cakes and other sweet treats.

So to sweeten your relationships all year round, small thank-you gifts are both welcomed and appreciated. And keep in mind it’s not the size of the gift that matters. Survey results show that good things come in small, personalized packages.

Give the gift of deliciousness To get started, remember showing your appreciation doesn’t have to be expensive and time consuming. Gifts can be purchased on your weekly (or daily) trip to the grocery store then personalized and decorated with things that you have around the house. You can stock up on these inexpensive supplies at your local craft store.

Here are some simple, low-cost steps to show someone you care: Step 1: Visit the bakery department in your local grocery store for a variety of fresh and delicious options.

From frosted cookies, to cinnamon rolls, cupcakes and doughnuts, you’ll find a treat to please everyone on your list - and there’s no baking involved.

Step 2: Personalize each gift by selecting a baked good

and using basic art or wrapping supplies (think ribbon spools and tissue paper leftover from Christmas) that you have around the house to dress up your gifts.

Step 3: Attach a personalized, handwritten note on a piece of construction paper or cardstock. Cut the paper to size, punch a hole to thread a ribbon through and tie it to your gift.

Other ideas for a quick and easy do-it-yourself ways to dress up your gift: • Homemade gift bags: Cut hearts out of construction paper and glue onto a lunch bag.

• Decorative plates: Find inexpensive, seasonal or colored ceramic plates at your local discount store and wrap with cellophane and a bow.

• Sweet surprise: Grab a small gift box, place some tissue inside, add your selected baked good and tie with a colored bow. Make sure that the baked good is secure in the box. You don’t want it to crumble.

NEWS Personalized Valentines that last all year long THURSDAY • JANUARY 30, 2014

(BPT) — Americans spent more than $13 billion on Valentine’s Day gifts last year. Sixty-four percent of men gave their significant other flowers and a card, and took them out to dinner, according to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association.

Valentine’s Day is full of expectations, so how do you show your unique appreciation and love by doing the same thing everybody else does on that same exact day?

The answer: You don’t.

People associate Valentine’s Day with love and ro-

mance but you don’t have to limit the experience to just that one day. With a little thought, you can show you care all throughout the year. Here are some ideas.

Engrave your love Make the romance last with a gift of engraved jewelry this Valentine’s Day, said Amy Myers, vice president of creative services at Things Remembered.

“When you give engraved jewelry, you give a memory,” Myers said.

“You can tell her how much you love her smile and how much she means to you today and every day. She will

think of you every time she wears it, so the feeling and the meaning behind your gift lasts long past Feb.14.”

Things Remembered also offers engraved jewelry and accessories for men, including dog tag necklaces, wallets, ID bracelets, key chains, watches and pocket knives.

“You can create a really unique and special gift for the man in your life that he can wear under his shirt or on his wrist without getting a ribbing from the guys,” Myers said. “We can engrave your message for him so only he can see it.”

ed lyrics for her nightstand or desk so that she may be reminded of the love you share. And, of course, to prevent those special words from getting shoved in a drawer or taped into a scrapbook like the 151 million greeting cards that are exchanged for Valentine’s Day each year.

Love in bloom More than 51 percent of people will buy red roses for Valentine’s Day but let’s face it - flowers wilt.

How does a guy who can’t remember that thing about the toilet seat remember to send flowers “just because”

after Valentine’s Day? The answer is as simple as your local florist. Most florists will take payment in advance for planned bouquet deliveries so you can set up fresh flower gifts every month throughout the year while only actually thinking about it once a year.

It’s one thing to be romantic one day of the year but true romance stands the test of time. Keep the passion alive and give a lasting spark to your relationship long after the Valentine’s Day chocolates are gone.

Tips on how to protect your diesel in cold weather (BPT) - As more manufacturers produce diesel vehicles for consumers, owners need to be aware of the issues that may occur during the cold winter months and learn how they can protect their vehicle.

Gelling Cold weather can cause starting problems in diesel vehicles because the fuel tends to gel. Most consumers cannot control what kind of fuel they get at the pump. The recommended grade of diesel

fuel for passenger vehicles is No. 2 which has some naturally occurring wax that crystallizes when the temperaIN THE IOWA DISTRICT COURT tures drop.

Anti-gelling additives One way to combat gelling is to use an anti-gelling additive like Royal Purple’s Max-Tane. Recommended for light, medium and heavy duty diesel engines, using the additive can improve engine start up in cold weather, improve cold flow by preventing gelling and will clean deposits from fuel injectors, combustion chambers, intake valves deposits and piston crowns.

Students in Becca Kedley’s third-grade class decided they wanted to put together a hot chocolate stand to raise money and awareness during a Jan. 20 basketball game. The students planned the entire hot chocolate/baked goods stand, provided all the supplies, performed all the money transactions, made posters for publication and counted the money when it was all completed. Their fundraising goal is $600. Pictured, front row, from left, are RJ McCoy, Audrey Pontier, Bailey Buckingham and Mya Walters. Back row are Daniel Landeros and Luke Denney.

CD 10th, Clarke 19th at Creston pulls away from Roadrunners in second half John J. Harris Invite OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

CRESTON — The Creston girls basketball team scored more points in the third quarter than it did in the first half here at Southwestern Community College on Monday, pulling away from Interstate 35 in the second half of a 45-32 win.

The Panthers trailed the Roadrunners 17-15 at halftime, but scored 16 points in the third quarter while holding Interstate 35 to just nine points.

“I just think we got outplayed, out-coached, got out-hustled,” Interstate 35 head coach Jamie Smith said. “However many outs there are, we got that many outs. They got lose balls, we didn’t get loose balls.

They got rebounds. They got baskets. We just got outed on everything.”

Creston got big plays out of Jenna Taylor, Chelcee Downing and Taylor Briley in the third quarter.

Downing scored seven of her 14 points in the quarter. She converted a layup off a steal, hit a pull-up jumper and knocked down a 3-pointer in the quarter.

Briley’s 17-footer capped off a quick 8-0 run by the Panthers that extended their lead to 29-24.

Meanwhile, Taylor hit a jumper and got an offensive rebound and putback in the quarter.

Taylor scored a gamehigh 18 points for the Panthers to go with her nine rebounds — seven of which were offensive rebounds.

“She got some nice offensive rebounds,” Creston head coach Larry McNutt said. “We got some penetration and got her the ball around the basket.

The other girls did a good job of getting her the ball.”

The Panthers outrebounded Interstate 35 by a 32-15 margin. Natalie Mostek led the Panthers with 11 rebounds.

It was an impressive feat against a Roadrunner team that features 6-1 freshman Gracey Griglione, who has recorded a pair of tripledoubles this year and averages 8.8 rebounds per game.

Fellow Interstate 35 freshman post player Riley Morris averages 8.3 rebounds per game. Morris was held to just five rebounds, while Griglione pulled down just two.

Griglione matched her season scoring output with 13 points to lead the Roadrunners, but after scoring seven of Interstate 35’s first nine points, was held to just four points in the second half. Freshman guard Slye Richardson, who averages 11.7 points per game, managed just three points.

Caylin Brommel scored six points for Interstate 35 and Taylor Roth added four.

A turning point in the game came early when Griglione got into foul trouble. She picked up her second foul at the 4:36 mark of the second quarter and got her third foul early in the third and a fourth foul early in the fourth quarter.

“She got two fouls, so she sat most of the second quarter,” Smith said.

“We’re just not quite as good when she’s not in there. No bones about it.

She helps us. Credit to them, they did a good job.”

“That’s what we need to do,” McNutt said. “We need to be really good defensively and be decent on offense. Then we have a chance. Especially in that second half, Taylor did a good job of getting into passing lanes. Our posts had to go outside and play on the perimeter tonight, and I thought we did a pretty good job.”

The win improved the Panthers to 6-10 for the season, while the Roadrunners drop to 11-5.

“We’ll just have to get better, or it’s going to be a long end of the season,” Smith said.

Clarke boys win on buzzer-beater

Murray’s Braydon Held shoots over a Mormon Trail defender during Murray’s 56-43 win over the Saints in the quarterfinals of the Bluegrass Conference Tournament on Monday. Held scored nine points and grabbed seven rebounds in the win. Murray returns to action today against Twin Cedars in the semifinals.

The Clarke boys basketball team picked up its second win of the season on Friday at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, 68-67.

And, the Indians did it in dramatic fashion, as freshman Brandyne Olin hit the game-winner on an offensive rebound putback as Olin time expired.

“Brandyne Olin, our freshman, did a great job of following the shot and getting the board, and hit the game winner,” head coach James Larson said.

Clarke led by two late in the game, and EBF hit the first of two free throws, but missed the second. On the miss, Olin gave up an offensive rebound

and the putback gave the Rockets a one point lead.

After a Clarke turnover, the Indians fouled to try extending the game. EBF missed the front end of a one-and-one.

This time, Olin gathered the rebound and made an outlet pass to Carlos Tamayo, who found Colin Morris in the middle of the floor. Morris took a 15-foot jumper, but missed.

But Olin followed the play, gathered the offensive rebound and put it back up and in as the horn sounded, giving Clarke the 68-67 win.

“I keep preaching to my guys, ‘next play, next play,’” Larson said. “He’s (Olin) a freshman, and he’s going to make mistakes, but he kept battling and learned from his mistakes.

“Definitely a game we needed to win,” Larson continued. “Our season is coming to an end. Hopefully we can get one of these next two games (against Albia Friday and Lamoni on Feb. 4).

That’d be pretty big as well.

Just trying to find some kind of momentum going into February going into districts.”

Clarke then dropped an 8041 game to a tough Pleasantville team on Monday.

“They came out firing for sure,” Larson said. “We tried to play man-to-man, but their big guys are very big. They’re like 6-6 and they’re solid kids.

They hurt us inside. I think we hung with them for the first quarter.”

Larson said he tried to mix things up in the second half by playing zone, but that’s when Pleasantville’s outside shooters started to catch fire.

“We kind of picked our poison, and either way we got the poison,” he said.

Freshman Troy Morgan led the Indians with 16 points in the loss.

“Pleasantville is a good team,” Larson said. “Real tough. I think they’ll be pretty good come time for districts.

They played a great game tonight. Give them all the credit.”

DES MOINES — The Clarke boys bowling team broke a pair of school records here on Jan. 21 in a meet against Southeast Polk and Des Moines Hoover.

“It was a very exciting meet,” head coach Dale Helgevold said. “During the Baker games, they set two school records.”

It was a nice consolation prize for the Indians, who came up short of Southeast Polk’s mark in the team scores.

In game four of the

Baker Rotation, Clarke rolled a 256, which broke the school record for best score in a Baker game.

Also, the Baker Rotation score of 990 broke the school record for high Baker series.

Damon Helgevold had a good day, rolling games of 211 and 193 for a two-game series of 404. Skylar John- Helgevold son finished with a total of 362 and Jacob Redman bowled a 358.

Adam Smith finished with a total of 284 and Matthew Sebek rounded out the team scoring with his series of 278. Geo Smith finished with a 250.

On the girls side, Courtney Clarke led the way with a series of 293 after games of 158 and 135.

Bronwyn Miller recorded a score of 280 and LeeAnn Helgevold finished at 274.

Keleah Selsor rolled a two-game series of 269 and Alexxa Blair rounded out the team scoring with her total of 265. Sara Andrew finished the day with a score of 221.

The Indians return to action today at Ottumwa.

PLEASANTVILLE — Clarke had four players finish in double figures scoring, as the Lady Indians defeated Pleasantville here Monday, 62-47.

“It’s the first time this year we’ve had four girls in double figures,” head coach Eric Zoske said. “When you can get a spread of success on the offensive end, it makes life a little bit easier for you.”

Libby Bemis had a monster game for the Lady Indi-

recorded a doubledouble with 20 points and 17 rebounds.

D e v o n C a r s o n Bemis added 15 points with eight rebounds and five assists.

Carley Robins scored 11 points with seven boards and Maddi Heath finished with 10 points and five assists.

“Good to see the girls have confidence,” Zoske said. “We got them out of their game

and we got 18 quick points in that first quarter.”

The Lady Indians finished the game with 16 assists compared to only 12 turnovers.

Zoske said he would have liked to have been a little better defensively in the second half.

“I would have liked to have a few more stops defensively in the second half,” he said.

“We were up by 15 at halftime and we won by 15. Would have liked to see a few more stops, but we can fix that.”
