Durham stresses importance of pet placement if owner dies

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

If a person has made plans for their family members if anything should happen to them, shouldn’t the same sentiment apply to their beloved pets?

For Joy Durham, manager of Clarke County Animal Shelter, one of her goals is to have people realize the importance of advance planning or placement for pets.

Durham said, last year, the animal shelter got four calls between Clarke, Decatur and Ringgold counties of older people who had lived on farms and were moving to nursing homes or in with relatives. They had many outdoor dogs and cats and no plan in place.

“Like, literally, two of them, there was 135 cats in one and 85 cats in another call,” she said.

Make arrangements This enforced Durham’s beliefs that family members

should make arrangements well in advance for their elderly relative’s pets.

“Because the calls I got were, ‘They’re leaving the property on Friday and we need to have the animals gone by Monday,’” she said. “ … I know sometimes tragic things happen. It does. But, if you’re planning on them going to a nursing home on Friday, it’s not just a Friday decision.”

Currently, at the shelter, there is a 15 year-old-dog, a Chihuahua, who’s owner passed away and didn’t make preparations for the pet to go somewhere.

Now, the question is, how many people in the community are actually going to want to adopt a 15-year-old dog?

“It’s just one of those things where it’s going to be a super hard placement,” Durham said. “In all actuality, we have a hard time even

Darlene’s Delights and Variety Store debuts new location

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Darlene Oliver likes to meet new people through her business Darlene’s Delights and Variety Store, especially since she was born and raised in Des Moines.

“This is all new to me — small town, living in the country. And, moving here, they’re just so friendly here,” she said. “It’s a huge difference from Des Moines to here, and I love to interact with other people. I’m getting to know people through the store, so that’s a plus for me.”

Darlene’s Delights and Variety Store actually came to be through conversations she had with her husband.

Oliver also runs a silk-screening business, and didn’t have anything to do during the day. One day, she was sitting at her home with her husband and talked about how she’s always wanted to open a variety store.

Your New Store Front That began the process of finding a building for a business location in Osceola, which led to Osceola Chamber Main Street’s (OCMS) “Your New Store Front.”

OCMS received a $5,000 business innovation grant from Main Street Iowa in 2014 and is using it to set up a short-term leasing website.

The website is called www. yournewstorefront.com.

“We did it primarily for business expansion,” Derek Lumsden, OCMS executive

director, said earlier in the spring. “If someone wanted to try something new, and they weren’t sure if it was going to take off.”

Oliver started out small in a location on the west side of the square in March. She moved to her current location later in the spring.

Her store is located on East Washington Street between the offices of Clarke County Publishing and OCMS and Clarke County Development Corporation.

“We moved over here and it’s been really great,” Oliver said.

Bill threatens CCRC’s progress The Iowa General Assembly presented the Clarke County Reservoir Commission an unwelcome surprise as the legislators wrapped up their session on June 5.

Senate File 510, the “standings bill” contains language that changes the law on use of eminent domain for the creation of public water supply surface water reservoirs.

The bill was passed by both the Iowa House and Senate on the last day of the session.

It is now in Gov. Branstad’s office being evaluated by his staff.

“SF 510 is an appropriations bill, so the governor can use his line item veto authority on policy items as well as appropriations he does not agree with,” said Dave Beck, project coordinator for the reservoir commission. “Divisions 24, 25, and 26 of SF 510 contain remarkably bad public policy with implications for any community that relies on reservoirs for their public drinking water supply. How the law is targeted directly at Clarke County, effectively restricting population growth and economic development to 2010 levels raises questions about its legality under the Iowa Constitution.”

The bill limits the size of a reservoir “… to provide the amount of drinking water to meet the needs of a population equal to the population of the county where the lake is to be developed or created, according to the most recent federal decennial census.”

According to the US Census Bureau’s website, Clarke County’s population at the 2010 census was 9,286. The 2013 population estimate for Clarke County was 9325, about 0.4 percent higher just three years later.

“Planning any infrastructure, whether it is a road, airport, or water supply reservoir for a population you have already surpassed is foolish, at best,” Beck said.

“The way it is worded does not allow planning for industrial water use, or for that matter, agricultural water use, now or in the future.

How does the community plan for future industrial expansion? How does the community answer the water availability question of any business considering locating in Clarke County?”

The governor has 30 days to take action on the bill once he receives it from the General Assembly. He can approve all of it, he can approve some of the bill and disapprove (veto) some of the bill, or he can veto the entire bill. He will need to take action no later than July 6. Readers can contact Gov. Terry Branstad’s office at https://governor.iowa.gov/ contact and click on “Registering an Opinion” or by calling 515-281-5211.

There is no provision to “grandfather” projects that are already underway. The Reservoir Commission has already purchased over 210 acres from four landowners.

They have reached agreement to purchase an additional 945 acres from seven landowners, and are actively negotiating with five more landowners.

“I understand the frustrations of the landowners in the project area whose land the Commission needs to buy.

While we work hard to move the process along, it takes time. But when you add in the uncertainties created by the Supreme Court decision and now this legislation they handed the governor,” Beck said. “People want to move on with their lives. We owe them the chance to do that.”

The last ballot initiative on the local option sales tax had more than 80 percent of the voters supporting the tax and the reservoir project it is designated for.

“The overwhelming majority of the citizens in the county support the need for an increased public water supply,” Beck said. “The majority of the affected landowners want to move on with the project. Existing Iowa law does an excellent job of protecting property rights. Changing the rules at this time is totally inappropriate.”

CARSPA met 9:30 a.m.

Monday, June 8, with Linda Foland presiding. There were 10 members and four guests.

Foland shared a humorous reading from the Iowa Magazine, “Mouths of Babes” and a Flag Day reading in recognition of Flag Day, June 14.

Hostesses were Marge Faulkner and Dotti VanWerden. They served doughnuts and coffee for social time preceding the meeting.

VanWerden shared her pink peonies for centerpieces at each table.

Jeri Lytton accompanied the club with the singing of “Grace.”

In the program, LeeAnn Helgevold presented a program about her trip to Europe in 2014. She was a member of “IAM”— Iowa Ambassadors of Music. It is quite an honor to be chosen for this. Three other Clarke Community High School students were selected, as well as many other students from the state.

From July 4-17, the students toured London, England; Paris, France; Crans-Montana, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Innsbruck, Austria; Venice, Italy; Dachau, Germany; and Rothenberg, Germany.

The students did sightseeing of lots of European countries, as well as many landmarks and a variety of architecture. They also performed in cathedrals.

Helgevold did a professional job with her presentation, slide show, which she had created herself, and her display of souvenirs.

Five of the members consisting of Sharon Cameron, Eleanor Gage, Linda Foland, Bev Schader and JoAnn Wilson attended the district spring meeting in Chariton, May 13. There were meetings and presentations, foods and fellowship.

The meeting adjourned at 10:40 a.m.

Grassley fall internships available, applications CLUB NEWS due by July 15 Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said fall internships for college-age Iowans are available, and applications are due July 15.

Internships are available in Grassley’s Washington, D.C., office, as well as his offices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo. The semester-long internship will run from August 18 through Dec. 18.

Interns assist staff members with administrative, legislative and communications work, including that of Grassley’s staff on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where he serves as Chairman.

An internship allows for a wide range of learning experience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill.

Grassley said he encourages young Iowans who are

interested in learning more about the government to apply.

“Interning in a congressional office is a good way for college students and new graduates to learn more about the legislative branch of the federal government while gaining valuable work experience.Internships in my offices are available to students in all areas of study,” Grassley said.

Application forms are available on Grassley’s website and in Grassley’s offices in Iowa. Because of security-related delays in postal mail delivery to U.S. Senate office buildings, internship applications should be emailed to intern_applications@grassley.senate.gov or faxed to 202-224-5136.

For additional information, email intern_applications@ grassley.senate.gov or call 202-224-3744.

on Sept. 17, 1961. They had one daughter Melinda, born to this union.

“Jo’s” adventurous lifetime led her to live in several different cities and states, from her birthplace in the Midwest, to the east coast, and then to the west coast.

During her journey, she attended college to study law enforcement, security, and photography. She was offered a job at the Edison Nuclear Power Plant in Southern California.

She worked there 16 yrs. as an armed security officer.

While employed there, she and co-workers associates traveled around California participating in training exercises and shooting matches, where she won many awards for her excellent marksmanship.

As a small child, one of “Jo’s” hobbies that fascinated her most was star gazing.

She enjoyed this throughout her lifetime. She was always happiest when she found the little dipper and bear, making the evening search complete. The stars twinkled so bright, just like the mischievous twinkle in her beautiful blue eyes.

Other things that brought her joy was spending time with family, culinary skills, sewing, traveling, sharing her hand written poems, fishing, camping, tending her 5 acres, gardening. She left behind a legacy of photo albums of beautiful scenery from her travels, and of wildlife she enjoyed watching, plus a life time of photos of family and friends.

Jo moved to Oregon in the mid-90s to be closer to her daughter, Mindy and son-in-law Steve. She enjoyed the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Cascade Mountains, and High Desert where its pleasures surrounded her the final years of her life.

She was lovingly referred to by her close friend Kenny, as “the ant who could move the rubber tree plant.” Tiny in build, yet mighty, she was a hard worker who excelled in everything she pursued.

Neighbors and friends affectionately called her a “Little Workhorse.” “Jo” was a true sweetheart who was always willing to help others. She was saved and a true crusader for Christ.

Summer like a celebrity: Four easy ways to go boating (BPT) — Perusing social media or flipping through a magazine, it’s common to see famous faces like George Clooney or Taylor Swift cruising around on fancy boats, but guess what? You don’t have to be rich and famous to enjoy boating. Get your feet wet this summer just like the stars without breaking the bank.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association reports 71 percent of boat owners have an annual household income of less than $100,000. That means boating is more accessible than you may think — just ask the 87.3 million Americans who go boating each year.

“It’s a common misperception that boating is mega yachting, but that’s not the case — 95 percent of the 12 million boats on the water in the U.S. are under 26 feet in length,” said Carl Blackwell, president of Discover Boating. “Whether it’s fishing,

wakesurfing, sailing, riding personal watercraft or cruising — there are ways for everyone to go boating on a budget and make memories out on the water.”

Whether you’re planning a vacation or looking for a new hobby close to home, Discover Boating has insider tips for getting on the water: Test the waters: Rental options can be found on most waterways and provide access to a variety of boat types on an hourly or daily basis. Rental outfitters provide a tutorial on how to operate the boat, safety instructions and suggestions on where to go. New to market are peer-to-peer rentals that go directly through boat owners and can include captains for hire and insurance.

Enroll in boat school: Hands-on courses are an opportunity to take the helm and learn the rules of the water. Hone your sailing, powerboating or watersports skills by mastering the basics

and having fun along the way. Find a school close to home with this list of boating courses on DiscoverBoating.com.

Take a nautical getaway: A popular way to experience the boating lifestyle is by chartering with family or friends. Want to explore a destination by water? Chartering a boat offers options - bareboat (with no captain) or crewed (with captain and crew), days or weeks long, destination-hopping and more. Pick your preferences and chart your course.

Learn to share: Share the fun and the budget. Frac-

tional boat ownership, similar to lodging timeshares, can be a cost-effective way to use a variety of boats and divide expenses among a group of friends or other local boaters. Members reserve use of the boat online and have access to added benefits such as lessons, flotillas and additional crew, if interested.

Want to set sail this summer? Find your way on the water by using DiscoverBoating.com’s new Get on the Water interactive tool to find boating options in your area from rentals to charters, lessons and more.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Memorial Day thank you

By John Sharp

Commander Davis-Pence Post No. 69

Each Memorial Day, Osceola American Legion ensures the large flags at Maple Hill Cemetery are raised and conducts a ceremony honoring those deceased veterans who have served in this country’s military.

In addition, more than 800 small flags are placed at each veteran’s grave site. It is obvious a quick glance at our ranks reveals a rather mature group, at least in age, and for that reason, we depend on volunteers from the community in preparing for this event.

Our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all of you who have helped make these Memorial Day ceremonies possible.

From the great support of Osceola Sentinel-Tribune for publishing the event program and their coverage of the event itself.

To the cemetery crew who volunteer to post the small flags, and all the volunteers who join with us in raising and lowering the large flags.

We have been blessed with great speakers over the years and this year, U.J. Booth continued with that tradition.

Worthy of note are volunteers Tawny Waske, singing the “Star Spangled Banner,” and Kelsi Norris playing “Taps” as they have done so

for the last 10 years.

We are also indebted to George Norris for saving the day when our battery-powered speaker system decided enough was enough and went up in smoke during set up. Legionnaire Dan Hooper contacted George and rounded enough extension cords to power up his unit, allowing us to start with very little delay.

This year marked the 150th anniversary since the end of the Civil War and helping highlight that milestone was Randy Jackson, Dennis and Vicki Williams, members of the 3rd Iowa Light Artillery, and Wesley Keeler, member the 15th Iowa Volunteers. All were in period dress and the artillery unit fired a canon salute.

The efforts made by this group were greatly appreciated by the Legion, especially the transport of the cannon, which surely was no small task.

On a different subject, the Legion just completed a fund drive of our local businesses in order to pay for the repair and recoating of our building’s roof. The drive got us close to our goal, but we are still short.

To complete the financing of the roof, and hopefully, add some to our flag account, we will be holding a raffle on a Henry Silver Boy 22-rifle, beginning sometime in June. We will be selling 350 chances at $10 a chance. Additional details will be announced soon.

adopting out dogs if their age is past five. Because, people look at, oh well, they’ve only got a couple years left, and they don’t want to.”

According to Durham, there are great “adopters” in the local community who strictly come in to the shelter for older animals each time.

Durham and her husband also do “respite care” for older animals that may be dropped off.

Put it in wills She said she makes it a point to tell people, if they are doing a legal will, it never hurts to include care directions for a family pet. This advice

isn’t just for elderly people, it’s for adults of any age because unforeseen accidents do happen.

People are advised to look into wills, pet trusts and pet protection agreements.

Durham stressed the idea that pets are like family members, and should be treated as such.

“That’s one of the issues that I want to work on this year,” she said.

“It’s just making people aware, because when we start getting the phone calls, it’s just one of those things where no matter what age they are, you know, if you have pets, it’s a planning situation. It’s like your children.”

for her to bake out of her home, transport her baked goods to her business and sell them.

She does crackers, seasonings, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and pies.

One thing Oliver wants to incorporate at her variety store is having a shelf to rent. The idea is people can pay a set fee to have their own merchandise on the shelf.

Right now, Oliver buys her own merchandise from pallets from a warehouse.

“I never know what’s in the pallet. It’s like Christmas to me,” she said.

There’s also another important reason for customers to keep their eyes on the shelves at Oliver’s store.

“I always tell people, if you see something here, and you want it, you better grab it because when you come back the next time, it might not be here and I might not ever be able to get it again. It’s just a variety,” she said.

More to offer Darlene’s Delights and Variety Store also offers beef jerky, ice cream, cotton candy, Avon gift packs, jewelry, hair bows, drinks, university gear and purses. It’s a big mix of merchandise.

The store has a table in the middle of it because it offers coffee, and people can drink it there.

Currently, Oliver has family and friends who help run the variety store at times, but she is the primary worker in the store.

The store’s hours are Tuesday through Friday approximately 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If there’s a special event happening on the square, Oliver will probably stay open later.

“I kind of want to keep those hours, but just come by and you’ll probably find me here earlier and you’re going to find me here later,” Oliver said.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“The storms that rolled across the state last week limited the ability of farmers to get in fields to finish planting, spray weeds or make hay. Standing water has created some drownedout spots that will need to be replanted if they dry out soon,” Northey said The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ ia. The report summary follows here: Crop report Sunny and warm temperatures early in the week spurred growth and fieldwork progress in Iowa, however fieldwork slowed because of wet conditions during the latter part of the week ending June 14, 2015, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were only 3.2 days suitable for fieldwork. Activities for the week included planting, cutting and baling hay and spraying. Although some spraying was done early in the week, weeds remain a concern throughout the state as crop emergence continues and farmers are unable to get into their fields to spray.

Topsoil moisture levels rated to 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 71

percent adequate and 27 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 4 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 21 percent surplus. South central Iowa is the only area of the state reporting no topsoil rated very short or short on moisture.

Ninety-eight percent of the corn crop has emerged, six days behind last year, but four days ahead of the five-year average. Eightyfour percent of the corn crop was rated good to excellent. Soybean planting reached 93 percent complete, two weeks behind 2014, but equal to the average.

Saturated soil conditions in southwest and south central Iowa continued to delay planting, with only 72 and 75 percent of their soybean crop in the ground, respectively. Soybean emergence reached 83 percent, two days behind normal. Soybean condition rated 80 percent good to excellent this week.

Oats headed reached 49 percent this week, slightly ahead of last year, but one day behind average. Oat condition remained 81 percent good to excellent.

The first cutting of alfalfa hay reached 66 percent complete this week.

Hay conditions rated 78 percent good to excellent.

Pasture condition rated 82 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were described as good due to mild temperatures, but reports out of western Iowa indicate insect stress on cattle is increasing.

Cattle lots remain muddy throughout Iowa.

Playoff field shrinking to 16 in each class next year Player safety cited in IHSAA schedule change

By LARRY PETERSON and SCOTT VICKER OST sports writers

The Iowa High School Athletic Association is reducing the number of teams that qualify for the state football playoffs in each class from 32 to 16 starting in 2016.

The association says the change follows a comprehensive review of the 32-team system, which allowed for less rest and recovery between games.

IHSAA executive director Alan Beste says the new format will give teams a week between playoff games, as well as keep the nine-game regular season intact.

Beste says the driving force behind the decision is player safety. Some teams were playing four games in 16 days in the 32-team system.

The IHSAA says that next season’s schedule won’t change, which will remain at 32 playoff teams.

According to a news release, the IHSAA Board of Control discussed the football schedule at a meeting April 29, then sought input from the IHSAA Representative Council, Iowa High School Athletic Directors Association and Iowa Football Coaches Association.

Representatives from those parties met Monday, and the Board of Control voted on the new format afterward.

Central Decatur senior quarterback Trenton Wells (7) looks for running room against eventual state champion Iowa City Regina during a Class 1A quarterfinal last year. Under the new playoff structure approved for 2016 by the Iowa High School Athletic Association, the 3-seed Cardinals would not have made the playoffs.

who have coached multiple playoff teams, said some of the other options discussed were also worthy of consideration.

“What’s kind of frustrating is, in talking with (athletic director) Jeff Bevins and Todd Tharp (of IHSAA) they had some great ideas as far as addressing the time between games and keeping four teams in the playoffs from each district,” said Morrison. “One was playing one less non-district game, and making the ninth game the start of the playoffs. Then if you didn’t make the play-

offs, you could schedule another team that wasn’t in. Another option was for everyone to start on week zero, play the nine-game schedule and still have 32 teams in. You would play just one a week in the playoffs.”

Morrison said Class 3A in this region of the state, most recently known as District 8, has been so balanced many years that there hasn’t been much difference between the teams finishing first and fourth.

In fact, one year a loss in the final game moved Creston/O-M from first to

fourth in the district.

“Before they switched to four teams about seven years ago, we had some 6-3 teams not get in the playoffs,” Morrison said. “Harlan was a four seed one year and went to the dome (semifinals). Spencer was a four seed and beat us. Traditionally, there have been four or five teams in our district that could legitimately make the playoffs.”

Pedersen agreed with Morrison that by reducing the number of playoff teams, some teams capable of making a deep run in the playoffs will be left home.

That would have included his own Central Decatur team this past season, which finished third in Class 1A District 8, but went all the way to the quarterfinals before losing to eventual state champion Iowa City Regina.

“There’s a lot of people that think it’s watered down when you have four teams (from each district),” Pedersen said. “There are a few instances where you have teams with losing records, but Pella made it to the state championship game one year being a 3 or 4-seed, and we made it to

the quarterfinals last year. I don’t think it’s right to take that away from a team that could possibly do something.”

Pedersen said the change to having a full week in between playoff games is a welcome change, but thought that issue could have been taken care of by starting the season in Week Zero and keeping 32 playoff teams.

“That’s really what I thought they’d do,” he said.

“It was really tough last year to play Regina on four days rest after five days rest the game before. I do think there should be a break in there.”

Especially at the Class 1A level, Pedersen said he expects that change to make a big, and positive, impact.

“At our level, it makes a huge difference,” he said.

“You take Trenton (Wells), we used him so much last year, he’s banged up every game. You don’t give him time to rest and recover, it’s hard. Your body is not used to getting contact like that and turning around and playing again. If you’re Regina and you’re platooning and you’re winning and only playing half a game, it’s probably not a big deal to them. But it definitely was a huge deal to us.”

Contrary views On the other hand, Showalter and Dukes said there are reasons to support the changes approved this week.

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

TRURO — Interstate 35 struck for five runs in the second inning here on June 9 and added a total of seven more in the fourth and fifth innings to win 12-2 over Wayne in five innings.

The win improved the Roadrunners to 5-5 for the season and 3-2 in the Pride of Iowa Conference.

Brock Bush started the scoring for the Roadrunners with a two-run single, putting the Roadrunners on the board in the second inning.

Elijah Smith, who was thrown out at home plate in the first inning, then knocked an RBI single to make it 3-0 in favor of Interstate 35.

Senior designated hitter Zach Goering then ripped a two-run triple into the gap to put the Roadrunners on top 5-0.

Bush finished the game

with three hits, three runs scored, a double, triple and three RBI. Smith also recorded three hits and three runs scored, hitting a double and driving in a pair of runs.

Goering finished with two hits and drove in three runs. Lucas Ealy drew three walks in the contest and stole three bases, while driving in one run.

Sophomore Levi Sandquist pitched the five-inning complete game, giving up two runs, only one earned, on eight hits and no walks, while striking out three.

Dylan Kernes, Cole Daniels, Wade Hood and Dominic Cresta each finished with one hit in the win for the Roadrunners, who now sit in fifth place in the Pride of Iowa Conference baseball standings.

Lady Indians sweep Centerville, lose to Winterset

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Clarke picked up a pair of close South Central Conference wins at Centerville on June 8, winning 9-6 in eight innings and scoring a 3-2 win thanks to a run in the top of the seventh inning.

In the 9-6 extra-innings win, Clarke struck first for three runs in the top of the first inning and added to its lead with two more runs in the top of the third inning.

But Centerville exploded for six runs in the bottom half of the third inning.

That 6-5 lead held until

Clarke added a run in the top of the sixth inning.

The two teams went scoreless in the seventh, before Clarke scored three runs in the eighth inning and held on for the win.

Senior third baseman Sara Andrew had a big game for the Lady Indians, g o i n g 3-for-5 at the plate with a home run and four Andrew RBI. Junior second baseman Ally Deutsch also hit a home

run, driving in two runs for the game.

Amanda Kindred finished 2-4 with a pair of doubles and two RBI. Senior catcher Kassidy Spurgin also drove Kindred in a run.

Vanessa Bakley had two hits, a stolen base and scored four runs. Freshman Sidney Marker also finished the game with two hits.

Sydnee Redman pitched the complete game in the

circle, giving up six runs on nine hits and five walks, while striking out five.

In the 3-2 win, the Lady Indians broke a 2-2 tie with a run in the top of the seventh inning and then held on for the win in the bottom half of the inning.

Redman pitched one inning, giving up one run on three hits before being relieved

by Alex Boyce.

B o y c e earned the win, pitching six innings and scattering Boyce

six hits with three strikeouts.

Bakley finished the game with two hits, including a double and two stolen bases. Junior Brooke Hem also finished with a pair of hits in the game and had one stolen base.

The two conference wins improved Clarke’s overall record for the season to 7-6.

But the Lady Indians followed with a 7-1 loss to Class 4A sixth-ranked Winterset on June 9.

Redman took the loss in the circle, giving up just four earned runs on eight hits and three walks, while

striking out one.

Deutsch finished with two of Clarke’s six hits in the game.

Redman and Bakley each recorded one hit, Deutsch both hitting a double. Hem and eighth-grader Ashlynn Oehlert also finished with one hit apiece.

Deutsch scored the lone run of the game for the Lady Indians. Bakley also drew a pair of walks.

did not want the eightgame schedule because of the potential loss of revenue. However, he’s surprised the board of control approved a format in which it loses revenue from eight games per class.

“I think they did the right thing, but I’m really shocked!” Showalter said.

“I didn’t think there was any way they would give up the revenue. I think safety was a real big factor in it.

I think with Alan Beste in there as director now, with his background as wellness coordinator and in charge of safety, that was perhaps a big part of all this. It’s a good deal from a safety standpoint and for the fans if they start the playoffs on Friday now and play once a week.

“With the eight-game option, as an AD, I did not want to see it go to that, because every other year we’d be losing a home game,” Showalter added.

“We depend on that revenue.”

One year Showalter and co-coach Derek Lambert led a fourth-place team to the playoffs that resulted in a loss at St. Albert.

Another year the Raiders went as a third-place team and won at Panorama. All of the other Raider playoff teams since the expansion to 32 teams have been first or second place.

“I have always felt 32 qualifiers has really cheapened the playoffs,” Showalter said. “We had some awfully good teams in past years that did not get in (with 16 qualifiers). Now, there were some pretty poor teams getting in, and one year we were one of them!”

Now, it will require a first or second-place finish to reach postseason play.

Lenox history Lenox coach Allen Dukes, who has led the Tigers to a state 8-man championship, has experienced postseason play in both manners.

In 2004 the Tigers were 8-1 and did not make the playoffs, and the following year they won the district and advanced. Then from 2006 through 2010 Lenox advanced as either a district champion or runner-up.

The past four years, however, Lenox has qualified by placing third or fourth.

One year the Tigers went to Melcher-Dallas as a fourth-place team and beat the 9-0 Saints, who placed first in its district.

But, Dukes sees the advantages of returning to a 16-team format per class.

“All it really did in bringing 32 teams in was make more money for the association,” Dukes said. “I think 16 is OK. You have much better ballgames when you have a one

against a two. My guess is when they redo the districts after next fall, they’ll probably re-establish the sister districts. From our district, though, when you look at us, Fremont-Mills, Sidney and CAM, two of them will not make it after this year. So it does make it tougher.”

Dukes remembers from the championship season that too many games are compressed into a short time period in the 32-team format.

“That is tough on the kids,” Dukes said. “When you go into tough, physical games in the playoffs, you need time to heal. We did not go full pads at playoff time. We couldn’t afford to get anyone hurt!”

I-35 beats ranked Wayne, wins Lenox Tourney

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Interstate 35 picked up a key Pride of Iowa Conference win on June 9, scoring a 4-2 come-from-behind win over Class 1A 13th-ranked Wayne.

The Falcons struck for two runs in the top of the first inning, taking advantage of a pair of Interstate 35 errors.

Iowa preliminary weather summary

By Harry Hillaker

State climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship

This is the Iowa preliminary weather summary by Harry Hillaker, state climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

“The past reporting week began with a few scattered showers and thunderstorms late Sunday (7th) over parts of far southern and eastern Iowa.

Dry weather prevailed over most of the state on Monday (8th) and Tuesday (9th) while thunderstorms brought locally heavy rain to the southern one-third of Iowa on Wednesday (10th) afternoon and evening with light to moderate rain falling

over the northwest one-quarter of the state.

Showers and thunderstorms brought rain to all of Iowa on Thursday (11th) with locally heavy rain over parts of southwest and east central Iowa. Friday (12th) and Saturday (13th) brought more rain to east central and southeast Iowa.

Additional rain fell on Sunday (14th) and Sunday night over the southern twothirds of the state with some locally heavy rains over portions of southwest and central Iowa. Some of the Sunday rainfall would have fallen too late to be reflected fully in the crop condition reports.

Weekly rain totals were generally lowest across northwestern Iowa with a report just south of Lake Park

in Dickinson County of 0.43 inches. However, very heavy rain fell in other areas, particularly in southwest and east central sections.

The largest reported total came from north of New Market in Taylor County of 6.07 inches. Other hefty totals included 5.98 inches in Davenport, 5.37 inches near Amana and 4.76 inches at Sidney.

The statewide average precipitation total was 1.91 inches while normal for the week is 1.19 inches. This was the highest weekly average in 39 weeks (second week of September 2014).

A few of the thunderstorms over the southern one-third of Iowa were accompanied by large hail and/ or high winds on Sunday (7th), Wednesday (10th) and

Thursday (11th).

Temperatures were well above normal for most of the week with daytime highs in the nineties nearly everywhere on Tuesday (9th) with a highest reading of 99 degrees at Sioux City.

Hot weather continued on Wednesday, along with more humidity, with 97 degree maximums at Clarinda, Red Oak and Shenandoah.

However, persistent cloud cover and rainfall held daytime highs in the sixties over many northern and western areas on Thursday and Friday.

Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 3.2 degrees above normal (72.4 degrees, weekly normal of 69.2), making this the warmest week since the last week of August 2014.”

This Father’s Day, surprise Dad with an unexpected day together (BPT) — This Father’s Day, rather than sitting dear ol’ Dad down and watching him unwrap a new necktie, try showing your appreciation in an unexpected way.

Surprise him by spending a fun-filled day together enjoying his favorite activities.

After all, doesn’t the man who spent hours patiently teaching you to ride a bike deserve something special this year?

When planning out the perfect Father’s Day, think carefully about his interests and hobbies. Find a carefree activity that will help you both unwind and catch up.

Few bonding moments create lasting memories like a beautiful day of fishing.

Consider spending a few hours catching fish and swapping stories to delight Dad with the perfect combination of action and relaxation. Mix in thoughtful gifts throughout the day and wow Dad with a mouthwatering meal as your grand finale and it will be one he won’t soon forget.

Set the mood in the morning and get the excitement

going by presenting Dad with a new Genuine Thermos Brand 1.2L Vacuum Insulated Beverage Bottle filled with piping hot gourmet coffee. The perfect accessory to bring along on a fishing adventure, the bottle features a durable stainless steel interior and exterior, which stays cool to the touch, even when holding hot liquids. The insulation will also keep beverages hot or cold for up to 24 hours, ensuring his drink stays fresh wherever he goes. Plus, a quick burst of caffeine will help him stay alert as he makes his first casts of the day.

As you’re loading up the boat to head to Dad’s favorite honey hole, be sure to include a cooler packed with energizing munchies made with wholesome and delicious Arla Dofino cheeses. Cut off lengthwise pieces of creamy, buttery Havarti in fun flavors like dill and jalapeño to create a hearty, easy-to-eat cheese snack (so he can keep his other hand on the fishing pole).

Bring along buttery, rich and slightly sweet Gouda

Send press releases to ccpeditor@ osceolaiowa.com

cheese to cut into bite-sized wedges or cubes that can take trail mix to the next level or pair perfectly with crisp fruit and whole grain crackers. You can also include a couple of wraps to have on hand for lunchtime: turkey with Havarti slices or roast beef with Gouda slices are two naturally good combinations.

Once on the water, watch Dad’s face light up when he opens up his tackle box and finds it stocked with two of the hottest lures to hit the water in years. The new Rapala Shadow Rap Series will have Dad haulin’ in hawgs like never before with an action the pros have dubbed “the death quiver.” As a minnow is dying, it struggles, lunges in erratic jerking motions, then falls with a slow, quivering fade — just like the Shadow Rap. This dynamic, lifelike action keeps the bait in the strike zone longer than conventional jerkbaits, upping Pops’ chances of hooking his target game fish.

Promising dramatic strikes with each twitch of the rod, the Shadow Rap swims in

the 2-to-4 foot water column, while the Shadow Rap Deep targets fish staging 4-to-8 feet deep. Both models are ready for action with premium VMC hooks and 14 enticing color patterns. Available at sporting goods stores nationwide for less than $10, it’s a small price for a big day of bonding with Dad. When you get back on the shore after several hours of fishing and soaking up the sun, Dad’s stomach is sure to be rumbling again. Feed his wild side by firing up the grill with Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausages.

Choose from flavors like Original Hardwood Smoked, a traditional sausage with a peppery kick or Hardwood Smoked with Cheddar, both made with premium cuts of beef and pork. Or you could give Dad the ultimate wild version of the classic bratwurst by grilling up Brats with Bacon Jerky. Yes, bacon jerky. It’ll create the perfect ending to a fun-filled Father’s Day that you’ve spent in the very best way — together.

Easy tips to drink more water throughout the day (BPT) — You know drinking plenty of water every day is good for your health. The Institute of Medicine recommends men consume about 13 cups of fluid a day and women take in about 9 cups. Yet remembering to drink water may not always make the top of your daily to-do list.

Here are some tips to naturally incorporate drinking liquids into your day to give you the energy you need to accomplish everything on your to-do list: • Always have a reusable water bottle with you. Tuck it into your purse or gym bag and have an extra one at your desk. You can find plenty of varieties in the stores, and you might even consider personalizing one so you remember it’s yours and there for you. If the container is handy, you’ll find yourself drinking out of it more often, just out of habit.

• Always make sure your water is freshly filtered. The new EveryDrop Ice and Water Refrigerator Filters are National Science Foundation certified to reduce more

contaminants than comparable refrigerator filters, ensuring you’re drinking the quality water you desire. Be sure you’re replacing your ice and water refrigerator filters every six months, to continue to enjoy fresh, great tasting water at home.

• Add fun flavors to your water to change it up, or make fun “mocktails” with your friends. Just cut up oranges, lemons, grapes and other berries and immerse them in your water for a fruity drink. Purchase some travel flavor packets to add to your cup. Like tea? It’s a great way to flavor your water, and it provides plenty of other benefits, too.

• Get out and explore all the watering holes in your community. When on a walk, run or bike ride through your community parks, tuck the EveryDrop Portable Water Filter into your purse or bag. It filters one gallon of water in just two minutes, so when you fill up at a water fountain location, you don’t have to wait to get fresh, great tasting water.

Lead pastor LifePoint Church

A day will come in which my name will not be remembered. Every word spoken and written, every life influenced, and legacy left will be erased. My guess is it will happen far sooner than I can imagine. It will only take a few generations before my name is no more.

Yet even before that day, my life’s work will quickly diminish.

As the old song says, “Time marches on.” With or without us, the clock continues to tick and the calendar continues to turn.

If we aren’t careful, we can realize this truth about life and come to the wrong conclusion that because life is so fleeting, it doesn’t matter what we do. Because everything we accomplish will one day be erased, why do anything? It’s a false conclusion, but one which many people draw.

This is the challenge with time. We all live within its context, but if we aren’t very careful we can be tempted by two misconceptions regarding its true nature. Either misconception leads to dangerous consequences.

Two misconceptions: 1. Some wrongly believe we have all the time in the world. This is often the error of youth. Having not lived long enough to understand how quickly time passes, we can underestimate its value. When we believe a resource is unlimited, we do not value an individual unit of that resource. Believing time is without end, we waste the minutes, hours, and days given to us.

2. Some wrongly believe we don’t have enough time for it to matter. This is often the error of those who are older. Having experienced how quickly time can pass, we can falsely conclude that we do not have enough time to

accomplish anything of significance. Even if we do accomplish great things, we see how quickly they are forgotten or erased, and we conclude the effort is not worth it.

Both of these misconceptions miss the truth.

The truth about time is that most of us have enough time to do things which matter, but have no time to waste.

We have enough time to accomplish things. We can love, build, create, innovate, dream, design, accomplish and achieve. Great things can happen. And rarely is it too late to do something. Second and third careers are possible. New tricks can be learned, even by old dogs.

Amazing things can be accomplished in one lifetime.

Yet no one has any time to waste. Life is too fleeting.

Time is too precious. At any moment, the gift of life could be taken from us. Because of the brevity of time, we cannot waste a single moment.

I often have the honor of standing at the bedside of those who are dying. One of the common themes of those conversations is how quickly life passes. Whether the person is suffering from cancer in their late twenties or experiencing the failure of multiple organs in their nineties, they look at time in similar ways. It passes quickly.

Perhaps that’s why God gave us this instruction in Scripture: So be very careful how you live. Live wisely, not like fools. I mean that you should use every opportunity you have for doing good (Ephesians 5:15-16a, ETRV).

We have enough time to do great things, but we don’t have a second to waste.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Clarke PTCO wraps up school year As Clarke Elementary Parent Teacher Community Organization (PTCO) wraps up the 2014-15 school year, it wanted to give the community a recap on the year.

PTCO is an organization designed to bring parents, teachers and members of the community together to support the school and students.

PTCO promotes school spirit and parent and community involvement in our school by sponsoring various events, projects and fundraisers.

They ended the school year with limo rides and a pie in the face assembly to celebrate the success of a cookie dough fundraiser last fall.

Clarke Elementary Principal Jill Kiger was duct taped to the wall again this year and Assistant Principal Randy Bolton volunteered to “receive” a pie in the face.

Each student who sold 10 tubs of cookie dough was able to put a piece of duct tape on Mrs. Kiger and everyone who received donations was able to put a dollop of whip cream in a pie so that the top seller then gave Bolton “a pie in the face.”

The PTCO thanks those who supported them by purchasing and/or selling cookie dough this year. It is their primary fundraiser, which enables them to cover the costs of admission and transportation of field trips for each class to go on during the year.

Along with cookie dough sales, they held their annual vendor fair the first weekend of November, where local merchants can sell their merchandise and parents and community members can

support local businesses and do their Christmas shopping.

A portion of the sales go to the PTCO. They hold movie nights throughout the year to offer families an affordable option to take their kids to the “movies” and the students can enjoy a movie with their friends and family.

Movies are typically held once a month from October to April with donations collected at the door supporting local charitable organizations like the food pantry and animal shelter. The PTCO food stand proceeds at movie night go toward the school.

Each spring, they hold a carnival where children get to play games and receive prizes for each game. Everything is only 25 cents, including the food.

PTCO wants to expand its awareness and knowledge of cultural heritage by including more games in the carni-

val. Contact them if you have any suggestions or ideas of games from other cultures they can include.

PTCO provides food at both fall and spring parent teacher conferences, as well as during teacher appreciation week.

They are starting a “Legacy Closet” of gently used Clarke gear to help teachers and students show their support of the Clarke schools.

If a student has an accident and something happens to their clothes during the day, they can change into a clean shirt if needed. If a new family enters the community, the closet will help them get a T-shirt for their students to wear on Fridays to participate in showing their Clarke pride.

PTCO is asking students, parents and community members show their support for Clarke schools by wearing their own Clarke gear on Fridays. Look through

OSCEOLA

closets for items children may have outgrown to pass onto the next generation of Clarke Indians to continue the tradition.

If you would like to donate to the Legacy Closet contact the PTCO by email clarkeptco@hotmail.com or contact the elementary office at 641342-6320.

An easy way to help the PTCO is to tell your Schwann’s salesperson you would like to support Clarke Community Schools. A portion of the proceeds of an order will then go to support Clarke schools. Box Tops for your school are also something a person can collect and donate to the elementary. If you cut them out, then they drop them off at the school or one of the collection boxes at local businesses around town.

PTCO needs parents, grandparents and community members to join the organization and have a voice in the education of children.

PTCO meetings are held the first Monday of each month during the school year at 5:30 p.m. in the elementary library and usually lasts only one hour. If parents are unable to attend regular meetings, they can still use the help.

For more information, check out the PTCO link on the elementary page of the school website or the Clarke PTCO Facebook page. The monthly newsletter can be found on the back of the menu and also on the school website. If you have questions or comments, email clarkeptco@hotmail.com or talk to any PTCO member.

Republican Presidential hopeful Dr. Carson to visit Lamoni LAMONI — The public invited to meet with Dr. Benjamin Carson Friday, June 26, f r o m 11:30 a.m. Carson to 1 p.m. at the Lamoni Community Center.

This event will be hosted

by We The People Tea Party of Southern Iowa.

Dr. Carson grew up poor in Detroit, Mich., in a single-parent household. He eventually graduated from Yale University where he met his wife Candy.

After completing graduate studies at the University of Michigan School of Medicine, he performed residency at John Hopkins University Medical Center, became one of the worlds foremost pediatric surgeons and went on to direct pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Children’s Center for 29 years Among many of his accolades are the NAACP’s Spingarn Medal (their highest honor) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (highest national honor for a civilian). He has also sat on the board of directors of nu-

merous major entities, and served in 2004 on President George Bush’s Council on Bioethics.

One of his eight books, “What We All Can Do to Save America’s Future,” was on the New York Times Best Seller list for 20 weeks.

Dr. Carson believes the United States needs a balanced budget amendment to prevent congress from deepening our more than 18 billion dollar deficit. He strongly supports state and local oversight of education standards, Health Savings Accounts that allows families and doctors to make health care decisions, protecting life from conception to death, the second amendment (right to bare arms), keeping religious faith strong in our communities, supporting Israel as the country’s strongest Middle East ally, and revamping the 74,000 page tax code to make it fairer, simpler and more equitable.

Dr. Carson said he is running for the Presidential nomination because, “This is a very difficult time for the United States of America. We face daunting challenges at home and unprecedented challenges abroad.

It’s time for new leadership.

It’s time for a fresh start.”
