Baumfalk’s attorney releases statement

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Jacqulynn “Jaci” Baumfalk, former Clarke Community School cheerleading coach, was sentenced to three years of probation Feb. 4 after pleading guilty to the charge of one count of second-degree theft, a class D felony.

Baumfalk plead guilty to the second-degree theft charge Dec. 5

at Clarke County Courthouse.

Court documents from Clarke County Courthouse state, “During the time period of August 2008 through June 2011, (Baumfalk) did take possession of money belonging to others with the intent to deprive its owners thereof, and/ or did misappropriate property exceeding $1,000 in value by disposing of money belonging to others in a manner inconsistent with the

owner’s rights.”

On Feb. 17, Osceola SentinelTribune received a letter from Baumfalk’s attorney, Brandon Brown of Parrish Kruidenier Dunn Boles Gribble Gentry and Fisher, L.L.P., in Des Moines.

The letter states: “An audit released by the Iowa State Auditor’s Office on February 2, 2012. This audit raised a number of concerns about how

Ms. Jaci Baumfalk handled funds during her tenure as the Clarke County Community School District’s cheerleading sponsor.

These concerns were reviewed by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, and on Dec. 12, 2012, criminal charges were formally initiated against Ms. Baumfalk accusing her of theft from the school, as well as from the Clarke County Animal Shelter, where Ms. Baum-

falk served as the manager.

Ms. Baumfalk proclaimed her innocence and always maintained that she never stole any funds from the school or the shelter.

Over the next year, we investigated these allegations, and shortly before trial, were able to work out an agreement with the state. This Please see BAUMFALK, Page 4

‘Skills in the real world’ FFA students share stories of learning from hands-on experience

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

What students learn in Future Farmers of America (FFA) doesn’t just aid them in high school, it’s education they can take with them for their future careers.

A major component of FFA education is learning from hands-on experience, including a supervised agricultural experience (SAE) project.

“We have some kids who have some pretty amazing SAE projects,” said Brandi Boyd, agricultural education instructor and FFA advisor at Clarke Community High School.

Boyd, who currently has 38 students working on SAE projects, said the projects also help students learn about record keeping and financial management.

“They’ll all have their own focus,” Boyd said.

Degrees In SAE projects, there are many degrees, or levels of advancement, students can achieve, including the Greenhand, Chapter, State (Iowa) and American degrees.

“Hopefully, what it’s teaching these kids is that they’ll be able to use these skills in the real world,” Boyd said.

Clarke senior Ashley Jackson achieved her Iowa degree last year. This year, she will be competing against other students who have a project similar to hers.

Jackson’s SAE project includes documenting what she’s learned about working on her family farm.

“Everybody being involved — doing their part — is a really important part of her SAE,” Boyd said. “What she does is,

Gonzales provides insight into possible school calendar shift from 180 days to 1,080 hours

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

When creating a school calendar, school districts in Iowa must choose between scheduling 180 days or 1,080 hours.

According to a report from Iowa Department of Education, the bill House File 215, which was passed in 2013, struck down the five and a-half minimum hours rule for districts to have a full day of school using 180day calendar. The reason is 1,080 hours divided by 180 days is a six-hour day.

At Clarke Community School District, teachers are on contract for 180 calendar days. However, in the SINGLE COPY PRICE: 75¢

future, inclement weather, early dismissals and late starts could create havoc for a district trying to have a six-hour day on a 180-day calendar.

“We would only have a five and a-half hour day, which in the past, that’s what Iowa Code says. … So now, with a Legislative change Gonzales to 1,080 hours, they used six hours,” said Clarke Superintendent Benita Gonzales. “So, that was really forcing everybody to re-examine what it was they

were going to do because any of our early dismissals or late arrivals would not have allowed us to count any of those as days.”

Committee support On Feb. 10, Clarke Community School Board held a public hearing on the 201415 school calendar having 1,080 hours or 180 days.

Gonzales said the school’s calendar committee has made a decision to support OST photo by AMY HANSEN

her responsibility is a lot of record keeping, but, then, also, she focuses on taking care of baby calves and the horses.”

Here are other Clarke students who are currently working on their SAE projects: Tiffany McKnight McKnight said she wants to be an equine trainer when she’s older. Right now, she’s training three horses and giving lessons to their owners.

“These skills will help me because I am getting experience with all the different types of horses that are out there,” she said. “Basically, that’s kind of how I’m going to progress to be an equine McKnight trainer.”

As for challenges, McKnight said she’s encountered problems with scheduling and horse training.

“For instance, one of the horses was rearing up and trying to attack me,” she said. “So, I had to go to other trainers and ask for advice.”

McKnight said one of the most important things she’s learned is how to make a bond with the horses, as well as the owners.

Kooper Brimm Brimm’s SAE project includes international relations by working at an orphanage and building houses in Haiti.

“This kind of ties into agriculture because, also, while we were down there we were working on plowing fields and planting it with corn,” Brimm said.

FOR THE RECORD

COLLEGE NEWS University of Iowa IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa awarded an estimated 1,500 degrees at the close of the 2013 fall session.

Murray: Kate Lynn Jennett with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing (BSN).

Osceola: Mickey Halverson with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree in civil engineering.

—————— Buena Vista University STORM LAKE — Nine Buena Vista University science majors have been selected for the Clifford A. Rae Academic Achievement Award for the 2013 calendar year.

Area students who received this award include: • Tesia Posekany, a senior biology major from Woodburn.

The awards — which range up to $5,000 — were created by a $750,000 endowment from the foundations established by Dr. Harold Walter Siebens and named after the long-time advisor and counsel to Siebens and the foundations.

The endowment supports annual awards for three

pre-qualified, academically high-performing BVU science majors in each of the second, third and fourth years of school — a total of up to nine students per year.

The program is distributing $30,000 in awards this year.

Posekany is a fourth-year student recipient.

The competitive program, which rewards science majors who excel in their academic pursuits, is open to students who live in Iowa or adjacent states and who qualify for financial aid. Students may receive the award more than once during their years at BVU. In addition to academic excellence, the program encourages quality learning experiences for students outside the classroom, such as internships, study abroad, international and domestic travel during BVU’s January interim, and costs of academic research.

Fourth-year students can also use the funds for graduate school applications, entrance/exam costs or professional certification. Upon graduation, students can also use remaining award funds to help pay down student loans.

Children urged to enter drawing contest Children in grades kindergarten through sixth are encouraged to get creative and draw their favorite building with windows. Does it have just one window or is it made up of lots of windows?

Libraries, theaters, churches, stores and homes have an array of windows.

Official entry forms and guidelines have been distributed to the Clarke and Murray schools and homeschooled students. All entry forms must be signed by the child’s parent or guardian and returned to the student’s teacher by Friday, March 21.

All children’s art work will be publicly displayed in Murray and Osceola during the weeks of April 1-18. The entries will then be handdelivered to Des Moines for the state-wide judging the following week.

“By asking children to draw one of their favorite cultural or historic buildings in town, they will begin to look at and appreciate the architecture around them,” said Mary Ellen Kimball,

project chair for the Clarke Area Arts Council. “Students should feel free to use their favorite way of drawing – crayons, pencils, pens or markers.”

Winners will be selected from nine regions in the state and receive prizes.

The “Architecture by Children Drawing Contest” is sponsored statewide by Iowa Architecture Foundation, Homes Murphy and Casey’s General Store.

Local project supporters include the Clarke Area Arts Council and the Kimball Family Foundation.

Additional information is available from Deb Jurshak at 641-447-2430 and Mary Ellen Kimball at 641-3424272.

Clarke Area Arts Council joins others in the community interested in architecture.

Molly Naumann, architectural historian, has been an Artist-in-the-Schools six times, increasing awareness of our area’s architecture and it’s importance in history, economy and lifestyle.

Snapshot Iowa: A photography contest for Iowa students Iowa Architectural Foundation invites all Iowa students in grades seventh through 12th to enter the photography contest “Snapshot Iowa.”

Photographs are to showcase windows in Iowa architecture.

One winner from each group will earn a $100 cash prize: seventh through ninth grades and 10th through 12th grades.

Official entry forms and guidelines have been distributed to the Clarke, Murray and home-school teachers.

Entries must be sent by the student and received by March 21. Additional details are included on the official entry form.

Carl entered the Navy in 1942, where he served as a diesel mechanic and electrician supervisor, mostly at a shore base in New Guinea during World War II. While Carl was in New Guinea, he was transferred to the Marine Seabees because of their need for his diesel mechanic and electrician skills.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you from Larry Mongar

By LARRY W. MONGAR Osceola

To Clarke County Publishing and the residents of Osceola, in the Feb. 13 issue I was given the privilege of a front-page review.

When my wife made the call to Amy Hansen, and she accepted the request for an interview, my only hope was a fourth-page article to make a public awareness of my book.

The deal I was dealt was a dead-

on 21.

I am so truly honored to have not only been an accomplished author, but for my hometown to be made fully aware of my feat, and the two column, full-page glance at its contents and the included full color cover shot.

As I am aware of most residents’ knowledge of who I am, the fact of a giving moment in each and every one of your lives’ attention to a three day writing of mine has me humbled.

Thank you to volunteer blood donors

By BETH PHILLIPS

LifeServe Blood Center Des Moines

Thank you to all the wonderful blood donors who volunteered their time to make a life-saving donation at the recent Osceola community blood drive.

A total of 44 people registered to donate blood and 34 units of blood were collected at this blood drive.

A special thanks also goes out to Marge Wambold and Osceola Lions Club for helping to organize and sponsor this blood drive. Committed volunteers are key to maintaining the blood supply in our local community.

The Blood Center of Iowa joined operations with Siouxland Blood Bank in April 2010 to become Life-

Serve Blood Center. As the 15th largest blood center in the country, LifeServe Blood Center provides blood and blood products to more than 100 hospitals located across Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

LifeServe is committed to saving lives by providing premier service to volunteer blood donors and access to a safe, quality blood supply for hospitals and patients.

Eligible blood donors must be at least 16 years old, should weigh at least 120 pounds and should be in general good health.

For more information about blood donation and to schedule an appointment to donate blood, call 800-2874903 or visit www.lifeservebloodcenter.org.

agreement was premised on the understanding that Ms. Baumfalk would be able to stand by her claim that she never took and kept money from either the school or the animal shelter.

Put another way, Ms. Baumfalk would not compromise her innocence.

The state agreed to dismiss the theft charge as it related to the animal shelter and amended the theft charge as it relates to the school in December of 2013, almost one year after the filing of the original charges.

The end result largely differs with the early allegations. The new charge claimed that Ms. Baumfalk used money she received from two parents to purchase incidentals during the trip such as gifts and souvenirs for the cheerleaders and managers while in Florida, rather than use the money to purchase chaperone airline tickets and cover other travel costs. While in court, Ms. Baumfalk stated the following when accepting responsibility for her actions and admitting guilt: ‘...between the months of August of 2008 and June of 2011, I received money from one parent of a cheerleader at Clarke Community High School. This money came to me in three installment payments totaling approximately $1,136.00. Rather than have the checks issued to the school, the checks were issued directly to me. Given all of the work I was devoting to planning the trip, I may have received travel money from another parent, although I have no specific recollection. I have no reason to dispute the payment and will acknowledge receipt in this regard. I received these payments and represented to the parents who paid me that these funds would be used to pay for travel expenses, such as their plane tickets for chaperoning the trip. By making this representation to the parents, they believed their money would be used in a specific intended way.

However, after receiving the funds.

I applied the money toward incidental

House Natural Resources Committee passes ORUV bill

The Fry Times

House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us

The House Natural Resources committee passed House Study Bill 585, a bill that changes the definition of “off road utility vehicles” in the Iowa Code.

House Study Bill 585 is a bill that was agreed upon by many stakeholders that legalizes newer off-road utility vehicles (ORUVs) that are being developed. Stakeholders included ABATE of Iowa, Polaris Industries, Iowa Motorcycle Dealers Association, Iowa OHV Association, and Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

The off-road vehicle market is different now than when the Code was last changed. Some off-road utility vehicles in the market today do not fit within the current ORUV definition.

This causes significant problems for motorsports deal-

expenses during our trip to Florida and made purchases, such as souvenirs. I did not inform the parents that we would be using the money I received in this way.

As a result, I understand the school paid for the plane tickets on the school’s credit card. I acknowledge that by spending the money on incidentals I disposed of the funds in a way inconsistent with the owners’ rights and intentions for the money. When I applied the money for incidentals, rather than consult with the parents who provided me with their money. I thought I had permission from the school administration to do so.

I now understand my actions did not comport school policy and that my actions were wrong and I regret the way I handled the money. I realize now I should have spoken with the parents or received written approval from the school before reallocating the money.’

Ms. Baumfalk stands by her early proclamations that she is innocent of any theft from the animal shelter. On Feb. 4, 2014, Ms. Baumfalk received a suspended sentence for theft by misappropriation. Nearly one year after being charged with theft from the animal shelter and the school district, the animal shelter theft charge was dropped. The school theft charge was amended to reflect a violation that Ms. Baumfalk readily acknowledged from the beginning.

Ms. Baumfalk fully cooperated with the audit investigation and informed the auditor’s office that she used money from parents for incidental expenses, such as purchasing souvenirs and gifts while in Florida. Ms. Baumfalk believed she was giving these girls a much needed and deserved reward for the months of hard work and devotion they committed to fundraising and rehearsal.

While working as cheerleading sponsor, it was always Ms. Baumfalk’s goal to enrich the lives of the cheerleaders and give them opportunities not conveyed to any other group of girls in the school’s history. Ms. Baumfalk wishes the girls the best of luck in their future endeavors.”

ers, consumers, and the Iowa DNR. House Study Bill 585 creates three different off-road utility vehicle definitions based on width and weight that allow these newer vehicles to be sold and used legally in Iowa. The new definition of off-road utility vehicle includes the following: 1. Off-road utility vehicle type 1 – an off-road utility ve-

hicle with a dry weight of 1,200 pounds or less and a width of 50 inches or less.

2. Off-road utility vehicle type 2 – an off-road utility vehicle with a dry weight of 2,000 pounds or less and a width of 60 inches or less. This will include the Polaris RANGER, John Deere Gator and Arctic Cat Prowler.

3. Off-road utility vehicle type 3 – an off-road utility vehicle with a dry weight of more than 2,000 pounds or a width of more than 65 inches, or both. This will include the Polaris BRUTUS, Kubota RTV and Bobcat 3600.

According to Brimm, Haitians will plant corn on any hill, including hills with 90-degree angles.

He said one of the goals of traveling to Haiti is to help Haitians produce food for themselves.

Writing summaries and logging hours are also things Brimm has to do for his project.

“I learned not to take anything for granted,” Brimm said, “and what we have, even though we might not think it’s a lot, is actually a lot.”

Jake Manternach Manternach’s project falls under the SAE job-placement category, and he is employed at Fareway. Manternach logs his hours for his project every time he works.

“At Fareway, everything in the store somehow relates to agriculture, whether it be the cardboard

boxes that come in to produce,” he said.

Manternach said what he wants to do in the future is something with food safety, similar to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) meat inspection.

While Manternach might not be able to work in the store’s meat department, he said his current job at the store is a good way to “get his foot in the door.”

He said he is learning important skills at Fareway.

“And you have to know to keep everything safe and clean, and that’s a big part of everything,” Manternach said.

Kaitlyn Boyer Beef production is the focus of Boyer’s SAE project. She has a small herd of Limousin cattle, and her family owns the business the Harvest Barn. The family also takes their beef and pork products to sell at Downtown

Des Moines Farmers’ Market.

“I get to help sell the beef directly to the consumer there, so that kind of helps me with the public-speaking skills,” Boyer said.

According to Boyd, an important aspect of Boyer’s SAE project is actually raising the products from the farm and providing it directly to the consumer.

Boyer said she also focuses on improving the genetics of her herd, including embryo transfers, artificial insemination and fertilization.

“When I get older, I’m definitely going to do something with beef and beef production — definitely with agriculture,” Boyer said. “I like doing stuff with genetics, so I maybe want to look at becoming a geneticist, or just something with cattle.”

National FFA Week This week is National FFA Week.

This is a message from Brandi Boyd, Clarke’s agricultural education instructor and FFA advisor: “As the Osceola FFA chapter celebrates National FFA Week, we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to the community — our families, neighbors, teachers and friends — who have supported us this year.

The FFA Motto is: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve.

Through your donation of time, expertise and resources, you are showing our chapter’s FFA members how to ‘Live to Serve.’

Thank you for supporting agricultural education and the FFA in our community. It is because of your generosity and support that our FFA members are able to take advantage of educational and leadership opportunities in order to achieve success.

Thank you for believing in the future of our members!”

According to Trickey, one of the reasons for creating the website was the challenge southern Iowa faces of attracting skilled workers to the area. However,

A registered user’s account will last for 30 days.

“After 30 days, you’ll get a note saying you’re coming off, so if you haven’t found a job, go back and renew your profile,” Trickey said.

There is also no cost for the employers or companies to be on the website.

Trickey said there’s a lot of great businesses in southcentral Iowa, including close to 4,000 non-farming jobs in Clarke County.

“In the economic development business — it’s like any business — we say it’s a lot better to grow the business you have than spend a lot of time trying to attract new business,” Trickey said.

1,080 HOURS: length. Day length is a local district, accredited nonpublic school, or independently accredited school decision and may vary. It does average six hours a day, but the only number we are interested in is the annual sum of hours that your districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and independently accredited schools has documented to meet 1,080 hours.”

Decision time For the 2014-15 school year, the deadline to submit the school district’s decision on 1,080 hours or 180 days is March 1.

The decision on 1,080 hours will be an agenda item at the next Clarke School Board meeting Monday.

Gonzales said people will hardly notice any major changes if the school board approves moving from 180 days to 1,080 hours.

“If we have a situation where we have an early dismissal or a late arrival, like what’s happened this year, we’re going to be able to operate just as we always have,” she said. “So, it’s really, we’re not going to see

the move to 1,080 hours.

One reason for this is to avoid problems with teacher’s contracts and school possibly being dismissed at noon for a snow day without meeting the six-hour rule.

This would mean adding a day on at the end of the year.

“We can’t call the teachers back without breaking our bank for every single time one of those days gets called,” Gonzales said.

What the report says According to the department of education’s report, if a district or school chooses 1,080 hours of instruction, lunch is excluded; however, passing time or parentteacher conferences may be included. Both models for the 1,080 hours and 180 days will be required to have the same amount of instructional time.

The education report states, “For districts, accredited nonpublic schools and independently accredited schools using the 1,080 hours of instruction, there is no minimum or maximum day

any big changes, it’s just the fact we’re going to have to look at our calendar differently and make sure we have enough hours in the days we’re providing.”

Gonzales said she believes there is a trend of many schools moving toward 1,080 hours for a school calendar.

“It got into a contractual and fiscal type of question that most school districts examined and had to take a look at and respond to,” she said. “So, I think a lot of people shifted to that.”

On Saturday, Jan. 25, 16 piano students performed for their families and friends at LifePoint Assembly of God. They also performed a short program at the Southern Hills Specialty Care facility for residents and staff.

The performers ranged from first-graders through high-school seniors, and even a grandparent. All performers were students of Rachel McCoy. Seven students performed two weeks later at Graceland University for the district Iowa Music Teachers Association precollege piano auditions.

Get up and move: Workplace workouts can lead to better health A lifestyle without regular physical activity has been associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular illness, cancer, osteoporosis, and other debilitating conditions. The 2012 Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System survey found nearly one-in-four Iowans reported having no physical activity during leisure times (outside of regular work activities).

Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity every week plus two or more days per week of muscle-strengthening activities. “You can achieve these goals just by being active throughout the day,” said Sarah Taylor Watts,

Physical Activity Coordinator at the Iowa Department of Public Health. “Three 10-minute bouts of physical activity per day are just as effective as 30 minutes all at once.”

By exercising at least 150 minutes per week, you can gain many health benefits including: • Lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer • Weight gain prevention • Improvements in thinking and judgment skills Plus, physical activity can also go beyond its health benefits. It can be a fun activity that you can do with friends and family. It can also help enhance your appearance and increase your confidence.

The workplace is an ideal

the elevator- you burn more calories without the wait • Write activity into your daily calendar • Set weekly activity goals, and recruit co-workers to join • Take brief walk breaks throughout the day • Use restrooms on differ-

location to add more physical activity into your daily schedule. It can be surprisingly easy to get active while still completing your work. Here are a few simple ways to jumpstart your healthy and successful lifestyle: • Take the stairs instead of

SPORTS Six area wrestlers qualify for state THURSDAY • FEBRUARY 20, 2014

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@ osceolaiowa.com

ADEL — Six area wrestlers placed either first or second at the Class 2A District 1 Tournament here Saturday, advancing to the 2014 State Wrestling Tournament.

Interstate 35 advanced three wrestlers to state, while Central Decatur sends two and Clarke will have one representative.

Highlighting the field of area competitors advancing to state is Clarke senior 170-pounder Jacob Bair.

Bair lost his opening round match Saturday to 10th-ranked Saydel senior Jake Sherman by a 9-4 decision.

Bair then pinned Carlisle’s Travis Johnston in 1:40 in the third place Bair match.

With Sherman winning a 4-3 decision over Grinnell’s Bryce Lidtka in the championship match, Bair earned a wrestleback match.

With his first state trip on the

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

line, Bair pinned Lidtka in 1:41.

“I’m very happy for Jacob,” Clarke head coach Brian Reece said. “He has worked so hard for four years and been close to qualifying a couple of times. It looked pretty bleak as we needed Sherman from Saydel to win in the finals to earn the wrestleback for true second.

“Sherman was losing for most of the match, but got a takedown with two seconds to secure to win.

Jacob took full advantage of the opportunity. The match for true second was as aggressive as I have seen Jacob wrestle against a quality opponent. Hopefully he can build on this and end up on the podium Saturday night.”

Bair (34-9) opens the state tournament in Thursday’s Class 2A session at 9 a.m. Thursday.

His opening round match will be against Sioux Center junior Mitchell Sandbulte (35-7).

His next opponent would either be second-ranked Trevor Frain (49-3) of Creston/O-M or Kolton Smith (21-7) of South Tama. Also on Bair’s side of the bracket is third-ranked Dalton Folkerts (544) of Albia and fourth-ranked Brent Lammers (39-4) of West

Delaware.

Interstate 35 Roadrunner sophomore Austin Pontier earned his second trip to the state tournament by placing second at 113 pounds Saturday at the district tournament.

Also advancing for Interstate 35 were seniors Lonnie Harper (195) and Bobby Heilman (285).

Pontier lost an 11-2 major decision to seventh-ranked Brady Kyner of Carlisle in the 113-pound finals, but bounced back to win a 4-1 decision over Saydel junior Justin Roepsch in the wrestleback match.

With the win, Pontier (44-10) gets a family reunion in the first round at the state tournament, as he squares off against cousin Kruz Adamson (37-6) of Creston/O-M in the opening round.

Adamson is unranked, but has lost only one match this season since dropping down from 120 pounds to 113 pounds.

The second round matchup for Pontier would be either Clear Lake freshman Ryan Leisure (343), ranked fourth in the state, or ninth-ranked BHRV senior Samuel Klarenbeek (40-2).

Third-ranked Brandon Mayer (37-2) of Cresco, fifth-ranked Shea Swafford (38-8) of Mediapolis and sixth-ranked Jacob Fenske (31-7) of Davenport Assumption are also in Pontier’s half of the bracket.

Harper lost by fall to Grinnell’s Jared Keenan in the finals at 195 pounds on Saturday, but pinned Winterset’s Nick Tank in the wrestleback match.

The 10thranked senior opens up against Davenport Assumption junior Chase Hager (17-11), but would likely face second- Harper ranked Carter Isley (53-1) of Albia in the second round.

Heilman also picked up a win in a wrestleback match for the Roadrunners. The senior pinned Van Meter’s Cole Ridgley in the third-place match in 3:51.

He then decked North Polk’s TJ Krehbeil in the wrestleback match to earn a trip to state.

Heilman (40-12) faces thirdranked Hampton-Dumont junior

Mario Pena (38-5) in the first round at 285 pounds. His second round opponent would be either Darrian Tillman (40-14) of Sergeant Bluff-Luton or Atlantic’s Jezidiah Phippen (35-21).

Central Decatur A pair of Central Decatur juniors also found their way to the state tournament, as Colton Ranney (160) and Trenton Wells (182) both placed second.

Neither had to compete in a wrestleback match.

Ranney lost a 6-2 decision to North Polk’s Landon Schuessler in the finals, while Wells dropped a 7-5 decision to Grinnell’s Julio Sanchez in the finals.

Ranney (43-13) starts his state tournament against Clarinda sophomore JJ Clark (41-6). Awaiting in the second round would be either eighth-ranked Alex Oswald (34-5) of Webster City or David Trucksess (28-9) of Spirit Lake Park.

Wells (45-6) opens against fourth-ranked Phirom Peterschmidt of Mid Prairie. His second round opponent would be either top-ranked Cash Wilcke (44-1) of OA-BCIG or Chase Reising (264) of Oelwein.

Panorama presses past Roadrunners hang on Clarke in district opener for close district win

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

STUART — Monday’s Class 2A District 14 opener here had the makings of a tightly-contested game, as Clarke took a 27-25 lead early in the third quarter on a Carlos Tamayo jumper from the free throw line.

But Panorama responded with a 14-0 run to pull away, eventually scoring a 65-39 win over the Indians, ending the Clarke season.

After Clarke led 11-7 after the first quarter, the tide began to shift in the second quarter, as Panorama began using a fullcourt press that caused Clarke problems.

But a Colin Morris 3-pointer late in the first half sent the game into halftime tied at 23-23.

Morris got a layup to start the third quarter, and after an answer from Panorama, Tamayo hit his jumper.

Shortly after Tamayo’s jumper, senior post player Brin Evins picked up his fourth foul.

Panorama went back to it’s press defense, which proved to be a challenge for Clarke. The Indians turned the ball over several times trying to break the press, and several times in the halfcourt offense after

breaking the press.

“I think we shot ourselves in the foot,” Clarke head coach James Larson said. “We knew they weren’t great in the halfcourt set. They got most of their points off turnovers.

That’s how they hurt us.

We just kept turning the ball over. We didn’t get good possessions.”

The Panorama run was capped off by a Kooper Duis baseline jumper and free throw off a foul, making the score 39-29.

The Panther lead reached 46-32 early in the fourth quarter, but the Indians cut the lead back to 10 points thanks to two free throws each from Jared Jamison and Morris.

Panorama answered with a 19-3 run to end the game, however.

“You’ve got to give them credit,” Larson said. “They had an aggressive halfcourt trap out there. It was a good press, something we haven’t seen much this year. Give them credit for that. But, our guys know how to break the press. It definitely took our offense out of sync. I don’t think we got a good set play in the second half.”

Larson said losing Evins for long stretches of the game with foul trouble proved to be a detriment.

“When Brin picked up his third in the first half, he’s our best rebounder,” he said. “You could tell when he wasn’t in there, they were getting some offensive boards and that’s how they got going. That absolutely hurt us tonight.”

Morris scored a gamehigh 21 points to lead Clarke.

Tamayo a d d e d seven and Evins finished with Morris six.

Aaron Klinge scored 20 points to lead Panorama while Dakota Redfern netted 10.

Clarke ends the season with a 2-20 record. Panorama improved to 12-10 for the season and advances to play Van Meter Thursday at Des Moines Christian in the district semifinal.

Monday marked the final game in a Clarke uniform for seniors Jamison, Morris and Evins. Matt Blanchard, who has been out with a concussion and did not suit for Monday’s game, is also a senior.

Interstate 35 guard Cole Daniels looks to dribble past West Central Valley’s Alex Coover during the first half of the Roadrunners’ 52-49 win over the Wildcats in a Class 2A Distrcit 14 opener on Monday. Daniels scored four points in the win.

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaioa.com

STUART — Interstate 35 head boys basketball coach Nate Rankin looked like a nervous wreck after Monday’s game here.

His team had put him through the emotional wringer, engaging in a back-and-forth battle with West Central Valley in a Class 2A District 14 opener, before coming out on top 52-49.

For a moment in the first half, it looked like the Roadrunners might have a chance to put the pedal down and pull away from the Wildcats, building a 24-17 lead late in the first half.

But junior post player Zach Goering picked up his second foul of the game with 1:56 to go in the half and West Central Valley went inside on three straight possessions to cut the lead to 24-23 at halftime.

Then, the Wildcats opened the second half on a 9-2 run for a 32-26 lead.

That’s when Taylor O’Dea stepped up big for the Roadrunners, scoring six straight points.

O’Dea started his run with a d r i v e to the basket.

Then, he got an offensive rebound with his O’Dea back to the basket, spun around and got the putback. He finished it off by taking

a pass from Jaylan White and finishing with a finger roll to tie the game at 3232.

West Central Valley took a 34-32 lead on a Bryce Kearns offensive rebound and putback.

But Jaylan and Jamal White went to work over the next several minutes, building a 42-40 lead for the Roadrunners thanks to six straight points from Jamal White, including a buzzer-beater at the end of the third quarter.

Still, the two teams went back-and-forth, with West Central Valley taking a 45-44 lead on a Kearns drive to the basket with less than four minutes left.

Daniel Kennedy picked up a long defensive rebound, led the break down the court and bounced a pass to Lucas Ealy under the basket for a layup to give Interstate 35 a 46-45 lead.

After Jamal White sank 2-of-4 free throws, the Roadrunners led 48-45 with 1:03 left in the game.

Kearns cut the lead to 48-47, when Ealy picked up a loose ball in the lane and went up for shot, getting fouled in the process.

The shot dropped, giving Interstate a 50-47 lead.

Jaylan White made two free throws in the final 30 seconds before the Wildcats got a basket with one second left on the clock for the final 52-49 margin.

Getting big plays down the stretch from O’Dea, Kennedy and Ealy was big for the Roadrunners.

“It’s not about scoring

with those guys,” Rankin said. “It’s about getting something defensively and offensively out of them. Good touches, good solid rebounds, something. Taylor came out, we were down six and he scored six straight. And he had two good looks that rolled out.”

Those plays, coupled with 18 points from Jaylan White and 16 from Jamal White propelled Interstate 35 to the win.

The Roadrunners held on despite shooting just 9-of-20 from the free throw line.

“That’s not good enough,” Rankin said.

“Next round we’ll have to be better. I thought execution wise, we got good looks all night, we just didn’t hit some shots.”

It was a hard fought win for Interstate 35, which had to play on the road against a West Central Valley team that entered with a 5-16 record.

“We struggled a little bit,” Rankin said. “It was kind of a chess match.

We just hit a couple shots down at the end.”

For a Roadrunner team that is filled with youth, Rankin said a postseason win could go a long way as far as building confidence.

The Roadrunners advance to Thursday’s district semifinal game at Des Moines Christian against the fourth-ranked Bears (20-1). Game time is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Clarke girls fall at North Polk

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

ALLEMAN — The Clarke girls basketball season came to an end here on Saturday, as the Lady Indians lost their Class 3A Region 7 opener to seventh-ranked North Polk, 65-41.

“I knew North Polk was going to be a strong team, but they are even better than I thought,” head coach Eric Zoske said. “I had watched five games on film and watched them in person, and I believe that the game they played against us was the best I saw them play. This is simply what teams need to do to advance in tournament time.”

Clarke built an early lead, but just as quickly as it built the lead, the lead evaporated as North Polk swung the game in its favor with an 18-8 lead.

“We only turned the ball

over one time in this span,” Zoske said. “They just kept hitting shots.”

The Lady Indians only turned the ball over nine times for the game, battling against North Polk’s press.

But, Clarke was outrebounded by 18.

Miranda Murphy scored 20 points in the first half for North Polk, but the Lady Indians held her to just two points in the second half. Unfortunately, her twin sister took over the second half.

Devon Carson had a big game in her final game in a Clarke uniform, scoring 16 points with four rebounds.

Libby Bemis added nine points and four boards, while Carley Robins netted six points with six rebounds.

Maddie Heath scored six and Baylie Balcaen scored four.

“I am very proud of how the girls responded late in the season,” Zoske said. “We

were 3-13 and neither myself or the girls are used to losing.

These seniors had never had a losing season in anything and in 10 years of coaching basketball, I never had a losing record. But we had a couple of heart-to-heart talks and truly came together.”

Clarke had six seniors on its roster in Ashley Heston, Delaney May, McKenzi Otto, Bemis, Robins and Carson.

“We had three senior additions this year in Ashley, Delaney and Kenzi,” Zoske said. “I’m grateful that they decided to come out for basketball their final year of high school. What Libby, Devon and Carley have taught me over the past two years are lessons that I will remember throughout coaching my entire career, and there is no doubt in my mind that I’m a better coach because of these three seniors.”

I-35 tops Chariton

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

TRURO — Interstate 35 held on for a 45-38 win over Chariton here Saturday in the Class 3A District 7 opener.

With the win, the Roadrunners advance to a Wednesday regional semifinal game at seventh-ranked North Polk.

Interstate 35 freshmen post players Riley Morris and Gracey Griglione both recorded double-doubles in the win.

Morris scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, while Griglione finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

“We had a great night of rebounding,” head coach Jamie Smith said. “Riley Morris 15 boards, 17 points. I think nine offensive rebounds. We hit some shots there at the end.”

The Roadrunners trailed in the first half, but a 3-pointer

by Taylor Roth and a buzzerbeater by Caylin Brommel gave Interstate 35 the lead at halftime.

“After that, it was kind of a battle,” Smith said. “We were up by 10 or 11 points and they started coming at us. We turned it over a little bit, but at the end, hit some free throws.”

Now, the Roadrunners turn their attention to North Polk.

“We went up there and played them last year first round, and they kind of put it to us,” Smith said. “I’d like to think things are a little bit different this year on both sides.

With this group, I don’t think that we fear a whole lot. But again, we’re going to have to play really, really well to have a chance against those guys.

Hopefully our game plan will keep us in the game.”

Freshman Slye Richardson recently broke the school record for 3-pointers in a season.

She currently has 47. Griglione also became the career leader in blocked shots with 133.

T

he Murray FFA Chapter will celebrate National FFA Week February 15-22, 2014. This year’s theme is IGNITE, and it celebrates more than 80 years of FFA traditions while eagerly anticipating the organization’s future. More than 550,000 members nationwide will participate in Na-

tional FFA Week activities at local, state and national levels. These members come from rural, suburban and urban environments and are interested in the diversity of careers within agriculture.

FFA members are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through agricultural education and hands on learning,

they are preparing for the more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry.

National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company as a special project of the National FFA Foundation and annually encompasses February 22, George Washington’s birthday.

Murray FFA members will celebrate National FFA Week by participating in the following activities: All students can participate in the dress up days for the week. Monday the theme is Official Dress Day, as our FFA members will be traveling to Creston High School for the Sub-District FFA contest. Tuesday is “ Show Your True Colors”,so students should wear their favorite John Deere/ Case IH or any other agriculture brand of clothing. After the popular song “Hillbilly Deluxe”, Wednesday we will see students dressed in their best Southern Iowa hillbilly attire. Students are encouraged to wear their hats (for a small fee) and boots to school on

Thursday for the theme “Hats off to Agriculture”. To wrap up the week, Friday we will show that “We BURN for blue” and wear our FFA Chapter Tshirt. Those students who participate in the dress up days will be rewarded.

We will be challenging all junior high and high school students during their lunch period with activities such as: animal breed identification, guess the weight of a hay bale, guess the number of beans in a jar, give us your best milk mustache and seed spitting contests. To educate about agriculture, during homeroom, our chapter members will be sharing agriculture facts while students from the different homerooms compete in Ag Olympics. Each day will be a new contest such as: Meal from the Heartland presenter, Shaving Cream, and Cheese Puff toss, farmer Olympics, Bubble trouble, and Line dancing.

In appreciation for the support and encouragement from our faculty and

Mountain movin’

By The Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Jesus told them, “I assure you, even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” (Mt. 17:20) MS – muscular sclerosis. Judy never forgot the day her doctor used those words — to describe her. She remembered thinking, if I just have enough faith, this will go away.

If I just pray the right prayer, pray hard enough – I’ll be cured. But no.

When the expected “cure” didn’t happen, Judy decided she must not have even a kernel — even a tiny seed – of faith left. If she did, God could surely “move her mountain” of MS. It was that day she gave up.

For days (OK, weeks), Judy simply sat. Didn’t read.

Didn’t watch TV. Didn’t call friends. Didn’t even get out to the yard to mess around in her favorite place – the garden.

No, Judy just sat by the window, lost in hopelessness.

Spring was happening right on the other side of that windowpane, but still Judy sat.

Then, one particularly bad day when her muscles just didn’t want to move right (not good to sit in a chair every day, all day), she noticed something rather odd. Right in front of her nose, in the cracks of the window ledge, Judy saw three green sprouts. In the tiny amount of dirt and debris that had blown into those cracks and stuck there, three tiny seeds had sprouted.

The next day, Judy noticed each one had sets of tiny leaves. And she began to rethink her life. The tiny plants, rooted in the hot aluminum window frame, wilted in the hot sun, but perked back up as the shade came and positively glistened in the morning dew. Good times. Bad times. Wilted times. Fresh, lively times.

Those tiny window-crack flowers became God’s good LIGHT OF GRACE, 400 E. Cass St., 641-745-7257, Victor Lochman, pastor, worship Sunday, 10 a.m.

news for Judy. Why, her life was a lot like theirs. Good days. Bad days. Healing began for Judy with those flowers. Not a “cure,” but a souldeep healing.

Her faith was being healed.

As her faith grew and blossomed, one day she discovered that indeed God had taken her seed of faith and moved mountains. The MS stayed. Judy’s faith grew; her relationship with God and her life as Christ’s disciple flourished.

Her MS was a mere hill beside the mountain of her relationship with God. As Judy cultivated and grew those tiny Morning Glory flowers (the ones that had grown in her window crack), she shared them – and their story – with many people. People who had lost hope. People who felt they weren’t good enough. People who thought God didn’t care about them. The list could go on.

Yes, from the small seed of her remaining faith, God made a mountain – a mighty good news peak – out of Judy’s life. And boy, did that mountain move.

What can God do with our seeds of faith? Why, God can make, and move, mountains.

We plant seeds everywhere we go, in every company we keep. May those seeds be God’s, and may we submit our lives as seeds for the spreading of God’s good news in Jesus Christ.

What gives you hope when times are bad? Think back to a hard time in your life. What made a “hope-full” difference for you?

Is anyone you know going through tough times right now? How can you be “flowers growing in the cracks” for them?
