American Legion to hold open house, seek new members

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

They’re out there in the community, holding fast to the morals and truths they learned while serving in the armed forces.

Now, members of the American Legion Davis Pence Post No. 69 are reaching out to the public with an open house from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 12. The goal is to get more interest in the Legion and for more people to join.

Two prominent members are Davis Pence Post No. 69 Commander John Sharp and member and former commander Dan Hooper.

“We always need younger members … because we’ve got a few World War II people who are still active as they can be,” Sharp said.

The open house is at the American Legion Hall, 136 W. Jefferson St., on the square in Osceola.

Beginnings The American Legion was chartered and incorporated

by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness.

It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youths and sponsorship of wholesome programs in local communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security and continued devotion to fellow service members and veterans.

The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism.

Members of the Davis Pence Post No. 69 meet the second Wednesday of every month with a meal starting at 6 p.m. and meeting at 7 p.m.

“To me, personally, it has just really helped me get involved in the community,” Sharp said. “I’m retired. It gets me going. My phone rings before seven o’clock and up until 10 o’clock at night. It’s just a very good way to be active in the community.”

Locally So, what does the Davis Pence Post No. 69 do in the Clarke County community?

The answer is — a lot.

For your service Stephenson receives medals for years spent in Air Force, Army

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

It’s better late than never to honor someone so deserving.

On Thursday, Aug. 27, a special ceremony was held in Clarke County Courthouse for Ryan Stephenson for medals he earned while in service to the United States.

“Actually, I’m almost embarrassed,” Stephenson said with a laugh. “… I just did my job. If I got an award — fine. If I didn’t, I didn’t complain about it. It was just something I had to polish to put on my uniform.”

The room was packed with Stephenson’s family, members of the American Legion and staff from the courthouse. Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, officiated the ceremony.

Service Stephenson, 62, of Osceola, served four years in the Air Force from 1971-75.

Then, he served 16 years in the Army and retired as Sgt. First Class.

Stephenson was 17 when he first joined the service.

He wanted to originally join the Air Force Academy, but he couldn’t since he was colorblind.

He served in Thailand during the Vietnam War years. Later on in his career, he served in Europe, Alaska

“It’s just tremendous we’re able to get the medals that folks should’ve had a long time ago to recognize their service.” Loebsack said.

STEPHENSON: Continued from Page 1

Vietnam generation, I know all too well how lots of our Vietnam veterans were treated when they came back,” he said. “And, just because it was an unpopular war, as far as I’m concerned, that’s never been an excuse for the treatment that our veterans received.”

Agent Orange In many ways, there are still battles concerning the Vietnam War that Stephenson is dealing with years later.

According to Stephenson, he is trying to prove through appropriate documentation that he served in Thailand.

Loebsack said a problem with the situation was the usage of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War. Agent Orange was a part of the United States’ herbicidal warfare program during that era. It has been shown to cause numerous types of cancer for people

who came into contact with it.

“Ryan was in Thailand when much of that was being applied around the perimeter of areas where we had folks,” Loebsack said. “So, the documentation of that … your presence there and being exposed to AO, it’s been very difficult, to say the least.

And, we’re doing what we can to make sure we can do that.”

Loebsack said it’s not the first time he’s heard about problems with documentation dealing with issues concerning Agent Orange.

Salute Even with the heavy topics of the Vietnam War being discussed, the atmosphere in the room during the ceremony was light and filled with jokes and laughter.

At the end of the ceremony, Stephenson received a salute from the members of the American Legion in attendance.

“I’ve enjoyed this,” Stephenson said. “It’s been a long time coming.”

BACK IN TIME Moonshine still captured

By Marie White

Clarke County Historical Society

Another chapter was added to the history of an increasing number of criminal events int he county when county officials armed with a search warrant raided the farm of a Clarke County man and arrested him on a charge of bootlegging. For some time, there had been indications that led local officers to believe the man was making and selling “White Mule.”

Believing that conditions were right to bring the man in, the deputy sheriff and marshal and one other man drove to the subject’s place through mud and rain. Finding him at home, the premises were searched by the men while the marshal kept his eye on other activities about the premises.

It occurred to the subject he had better feed his hogs before going with the officers to the county seat. The privilege was

granted him, and he went down toward the hog house with the marshal walking leisurely that way, also.

When within a few rods of the building, the subject increased his pace to a run, went into the hog house, grabbed a big empty boiler still and took a hike through the brush with the officer in hot pursuit.

Occasionally, the officer fired his gun in the direction of the fleeing offender of the 18th Amendment, hoping to stop him without injuring him. The subject and the big copper boiler with the huge coil attached to it plunged into the creek and reached the opposite side just as the big marshal came up to the bank panting for breath.

A command with unquestionable earnestness on the officer’s part induced the man with the improvised still to wade back to the side of the stream where the city marshal stood ready to retrieve him.

The march back to the house

was single file, first the man and his boiler, then, the officer and his gun. With two jugs, a bucket of mash, the still and distiller, the trip was made through the mud back to the courthouse.

Two years prior, the same man was arrested and convicted in Clarke County District Court on the charge of bootlegging.

His case was appealed to the supreme court, where the decision of the lower court was affirmed.

A quantity of liquor found in his possession at that time was distributed to the Osceola hospitals.

He later on was arrested on a charge of concealing stolen property that was found at his place. He was acquitted of this.

He became prominent in a case when it was found out that a large amount of money, bonds and other loot stolen by robbers was found at his home.

This subject seemed to be prone to trouble as sparks are to fly upwards. Truly, the way of the transgressor is hard.

Party in the Park planned Sept. 12 The third annual Party in the Park takes place this Saturday evening, Sept. 12.

Party in the Park is community event sponsored by LifePoint Church.

“This is the third year for Party in the Park and it just keeps getting bigger and better,” said Chuck DeVos, lead pastor at LifePoint. “This year it includes free food, ice cream, kettle-corn, volleyball, kids games, face painting, a kids bounce house, great music and more. We’ve invited the Clark High School FFA and FCCLA who are working with OST photo by AMY HANSEN us to do something great for our Ryan Stephenson of Osceola holds a medal he was awarded for his years community.”

When asked why a church would put on event like this free of charge for the entire community, DeVos answered, “Because we love our community, we want to be generous givers and we want people to see a church that doesn’t just ‘say’ it loves the community, but actually demonstrates it. Osceola is a great place to live and work and raise a family. We want people to know that it’s also a great place to go to church. There are many people who’ve been hurt by a church at some point in their life. LifePoint isn’t a perfect church, but we are a church that cares about people and about our community and we

simply want to demonstrate that in a tangible way.”

Music this year comes from the Dysart Family singers. The Dysarts hail from Macon, Mo., and are signed with Crossroads Records, one of gospel music’s largest record labels, and tour nationwide. The Dysart Family sings southern gospel music with close family harmonies and a diverse and powerful selection of music.

Party in the Park starts at 5 p.m., Sept. 12, and takes place on the Osceola square. For more information about Party in the Park, contact LifePoint Church at 641-342-2334.

“It’s very rewarding to know that you’re helping somebody, and the results that they tell you when they hospital equipment back, how much they appreciated us doing this for them,” Hooper said. “Even though they’re not veterans, just regular everyday people, it’s very rewarding to know that somebody appreciates what we’re doing for them. And it is for them. It’s not for us, it’s for them.”

SPORTS High-powered Tigerhawks down Clarke, 48-28 THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 10, 2015

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Clarke, once again plagued by fumbles and penalties, couldn’t slow down Colfax-Mingo’s high-powered offensive attack here Friday in a 48-28 loss.

Colfax-Mingo’s returning all-state quarterback Jared Myers completed 17-of-28 for 272 yards and threw touchdown passes to five different players, in addition to rushing for 100 yards on 15 carries. Jake Lietz had seven catches for 91 yards and a touchdown, while Blake Summy caught four passes for 95 yards and a touchdown.

Lane Dunblazier, Colin Lourens and Gabe Simpson all caught a touchdown pass, as well. Myers added a rushing touchdown and Lietz returned an interception 43 yards for a touchdown.

“We didn’t tackle well and we had too many fumbles,” Clarke head coach Ron Dupree said. “I think we had seven fumbles, lost four.”

Clarke was able to move the ball well against Colfax-Mingo with 234 rushing yards, but drives would often stall out because of the fumbles or penalties.

“The turnovers are really hurting us,” Dupree said.

“Not just the turnovers, the fumbles. We’re moving the ball pretty well and we fumble, which of course kills a down. In two games, we’ve had 16 penalties.”

Senior tailback Gable Reece led the Clarke rushing attack with 95 yards on seven carries. Sophomore Andy Hurtado added 59 yards on six carries and senior fullback Lane Car-

son had 57 yards on eight carries. Gunner Sergeant finished with 32 yards on three carries.

“I thought our running back Reece did a really good job,” Dupree said. “Ran with power and elusiveness.

Lane hit the middle pretty Reece good. We just kept fumbling the ball so much on exchanges between quarterback and center, it hurt us.”

All three Clarke quarterbacks saw time in the game, with Hurtado completing 6-of-16 for 85 yards and one touchd o w n .

Starter Brandyne Olin was 5-of-16 for Hurtado 84 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Rich Wilkins finished 1-of-3 for 12 yards.

Junior Gabe Crawford was the top target, with nine catches for 153 y a r d s and three touchd o w n s . Crawford His 153 y a r d s ranks as the fourth-highest single-game receiving total in school history, with Dylan Diveney’s 220 yards in 2012 ranking as the highest.

“We had a good performance by Crawford,”

Clarke junior receiver Gabe Crawford looks for running room after a catch during the team’s season-opening loss to Saydel. Crawford caught nine passes for 153 yards and three touchdowns in Friday’s loss to Colfax-Mingo.

Dupree said. “He’s 6-5 and on our reach jump test, he jumps 11-3, which is really outstanding. He used that jumping skill to help him a lot.”

Defensively, Josh Carroll and Reece each finished wtih 11 tackles to lead the Indians.

Crawford and Sergeant each Carroll

added six tackles. Garrett Moore had one interception.

Reece and Hurtado each had a kickoff return for a touchdown called back because of penalties.

Wilkins set a school record in the punting department, punting nine times Wilkins

for 381 yards, which ranks as the highest single-game yardage total in school history. He averaged 42.3 yards per punt and had a long punt of 60 yards. He also recorded punts of 55 and 54 yards.

“The 60-yarder is the longest in school history that we know of,” Dupree said. “Broke the record of a 58-yarder in 1975 by Mark Coffey. I thought it was pretty good.”

Clarke, now 0-2 for the

season, opens Class 2A District 7 play Friday at North Polk, which improved to 1-1 for the season with a 24-0 win over Perry.

“We stayed in the game until the end,” Dupree said. “Got behind early and kept coming back. You count the two touchdowns and three long runs that got called back (by penalties), it’d have been a high-scoring game. We’re ready to go back next week.”

Murray sweeps O-M in season opener

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

ORIENT — Murray cruised to a 25-4, 25-8, 25-8 sweep of Orient-Macksburg here on Sept. 3 in the Lady Mustangs’ season opener.

Orient-Macksburg never got on track in the first game. After scoring the first point of the match, the Bulldogs saw Murray reel off 10 straight points.

The Bulldogs answered with consecutive points, but quickly fell behind 15-3. Orient-Macksburg ended that quick Murray burst at 15-4, but Murray went on its second 10-0 run of the game to close it out.

“It was nice to get out of practice to actually get out on the floor and play against somebody else besides ourselves,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said.

Orient-Macksburg put to-

gether a much better start to game two, grabbing an early 4-1 lead on the strength of a Brooklyn Sammons ace and tip.

A Shelby Myers ace for Murray turned the tables into a 6-4 lead for the Lady Mustangs, however.

Orient-Macksburg battled to a 9-8 deficit, but Murray ended the game with 16 consecutive points.

Sophomore Zoie Lecy served 10 of those points, before giving way to Breianna Klein, who finished out the game.

A pair of Shyla Waldhauser kills kept Orient-Macksburg within 10-4 early in the third game, but Murray cruised to a 25-8 win in that game to pull off the sweep.

The match ended with back-to-back aces from Madison Gonseth, who served 15-17 with three aces for the match. Zoie Lecy was 13-13 with two aces and

Shelby Myers finished 13-14 with one ace. Courtney Titus was 7-7 with one ace.

“Serve receive is something you can always improve on,” Orient-Macksburg head coach Katie Geidel said.

“It all starts with the pass.

It doesn’t matter how good your hitters are if you can’t get the pass up.”

Sammons led Orient-Macksburg by serving 6-6 with one ace. Behle Ott finished 3-3, while Riley Rasmussen was 2-2.

“Serving was good,” Geidel said. “We only missed three serves. We didn’t have the opportunity to serve a lot, but the times they did, I think that went well.”

Sammons had three assists, while Rasmussen led the Bulldogs with two digs.

Myers led Murray with seven kills. Kayla Siefkas Please see MURRAY, page 7

Wayne 54, Murray 14 CORYDON — Carson Kiefer ran for 208 yards and four touchdowns in leading Wayne (2-0) to a 54-14 victory over Murray (1-2) Friday night.

“We didn’t wrap up,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton “He’s a very talented back.

We looked better than the score, though. Penalties killed some drives, but we were moving the football.”

Kiefer scored on runs of 6 yards, 24 yards, 50 yards and 34 yards.

Murray scored on a 50-yard pass play by Fisher Decker to Jack Jones in the second quarter and an 11-yard pass from Decker to Bryce Keller just before halftime.

Wayne scored three unanswerd touchdowns in the second half after taking a 34-14 lead at the break.

Jones ran 15 times for 71 yards for the Mustangs. Keller had two catches for 36 yards as Decker completed five passes for 91 yards. Dustin Teas had an interception for the Mustang defense.

Murray hosts East Union this week to open district play.

“Our guys are excited to get started in the district,” Fulton said. “We’re looking faster and more physical this year. If we can stay balanced without so many penalties, we think we can show that we’re improved.”

Geidel said the experience of playing in a match like this is something that can’t be replicated in practice.

“We just don’t have the numbers to get a game-like practice situation,” she said.

“We have 11 and we’ve had a couple out with injuries, a couple out with some personal things the past couple of weeks. So it’s been hard to put a full team out there in practice. We definitely don’t see that kind of a tempo in practice.”

21st century confusion

By Pastor Tom Murr

Norwood United Methodist Church

In this new 21st century, I have been trying to catch up with something that I seeming missed placed in the 20th century. If you feel that I am old, yes, I have lived big part of my life this far in the 20th century. You could say that is why I can’t understand things any more.

In the wonderful love chapter of I Corinthians 13: verse 12 Paul wrote, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”

After reading this verse I think it explains my lack of understanding of this 21st century. Perhaps, I am still seeing the glass darkly in the 21st century.

The existing problem for me is the images are all blurred and unclear. I like things to be clear. Both of my grandfathers taught me lessons about honestly and truth. The lessons were made very clear to me.

Truth has become blurred. We live in a time of confusion.

I asked a young person this past weekend about the language that I hear often.

I can recall going home after we had bought a VCR player (that is kind of like a DVD player). As I walked by the room there came flowing out the room some words that we did not use in our home.

I quickly found my wife, Anne, in the kitchen and asked her what our teenagers were watching. She told me that they had rented a movie. They had asked her before and they said there were some strong language in that movie.

Last Saturday, I asked a young woman about the language of 21st century and she assured me this was the new culture. I don’t see anything really new about it from my view through the darken glass.

On Tuesday, I asked another young woman about the words being said. Her answer was that I should realize we are living in a different age.

It is a confusing time! When you are looking for wisdom you can find it in Proverbs. “Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.”

Proverbs 25:26 There was a spring back on my grandfather’s farm. On hot and dry afternoons plowing corn, I would get off the tractor and go over to the spring. According to the cement, my grandfather had built a small tank in the hillside in 1912.

There was a pipe that ran clear cold water into the tank. It IA. Pastor James R. Sheesley.

tasted great and it cooled off the heat of the sun from my face.

Today, the spring is still running, but the corn fields are not plowed anymore because, of the use of weed-killing chemicals. While the water is still cold and clear, I am not sure I would drink because it may have been “polluted and muddy.”

As Proverbs noted, the springs and the water has changed to this 21st century. In fact, you know there are a lot of things have become very confusing.

I am confused: by our leaders, by the courts, by the changing attitudes in our society, by the lack moral fiber, by our changing of history, by our lack of courage to stand up for the right by our—you can fill in some more.

I must be looking through a “dark glass” that is not presenting me with a clear image. Even the water in the spring has become contaminated. I know it is a time of instant media, instant action and instant communication. But the media leaves me unclear what direction that I should be walking and where my true north is.

The old Prophet Jeremiah wrote: “The heart is devious above all else; it is perverse — who can understand it?”

Yes, the heart is devious more than we can know. An internet site, “Ashley Madison,” was hacked, showing a list of people who cheated on their spouses. (i.e. Google stated after the hack, that one in four American men were active on the website).

The heart has become devious and perverse and has fallen into the darkness with the glass.

I am going holding with firm to the last words of Paul wrote in the 13:12 “but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”

I look forward to the time when the glass will be clear, the water will be refreshing, and my heart will be warmed by the everlasting love of God.

Northey sees business standing strong through soft ag market Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey made a stop at Salford USA in Osceola Wednesday, Aug. 26.

Taking time from his busy schedule, Secretary Northey wanted to make sure he continued his discussions with agribusiness professionals and hear, firsthand, the issues they face during the downturn in the Ag market.

During his two hour visit and tour, Northey had conversations with Operations Manager Robert (Tom) Kober, Plant Manager Randy Beckett, as well as Clarke County Development Corporation’s (CCDC) Executive Director Bill Trickey.

Much of the dialogue was focused on the volatility of today’s ag environment and its affect on manufacturing and the local economy, as well as Salford’s positive impact on Osceola’s economy and growing workforce.

When asked about the recent market downturn and how he saw it affecting businesses, Northey said, “There are a lot of people still buying, maybe repairing used equipment, but it’s not like everyone’s shutting down.

I’ve talked to people that

have said ‘I’ve been conservative, paid stuff down, and now’s the time to trade or upgrade equipment.’”

For Salford, while the softer market has been noticeable, the impact hasn’t been as bad. Through strategic planning and seasonal sales preparations, Kober assured Northey that numbers were looking good, even in the down cycle, which means they’d positioned themselves to benefit even more when the market rebounds.

“This will be a different market,” Kober said.

“Salford brings something so different to the game — even with additional sales staffing — we’ve positioned ourselves where we can benefit — and be a benefit — throughout these changes.”

Canadian-owned Salford Manufacturing moved their USA operations to Osceola in 2007 and soon after showed the company’s focus on integrity, quality, and support of their employees was a priority.

Bill Trickey explained, “CCDC gave them our Board of Director’s award because, even during the downturn, they kept their

“One thing that separates us from {the others} is the quality and strength of our equipment,” said Randy Beckett, plant manager, “If it never breaks, and you can run it for ten years, you have something that’s pretty valuable. And that’s something farmers understand.”

Inductees or their representatives were presented a certificate by the Iowa 4-H Foundation as they were introduced on stage. A reception, sponsored by donors to the Iowa 4-H Foundation, was held shortly after the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame presentations.

The honorees were selected by their respective counties for their service and dedication to 4-H, contributions to the lives of 4-H’ers and the program. Inductees served as club leaders, fair board members, council members, fair judges, financial supporters, ISU Extension staff members and more.

The inductees have demonstrated dedication, encouragement, commitment and guidance to Iowa’s 4-H’ers through their years of service.
