East Lake Park to add RV campground

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

“Camping’s kind of the ‘in’ thing right now,” said Clarke County Conservation Board Executive Director Scott Kent.

Since taking over in February 2016, Kent has made some big waves at East Lake Park. With help from Elizabeth Simpson, program manager at the Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC), Kent has applied for more than $1 million in grants. The effort is paying off with many upcoming improvements covered almost entirely by approved grant funds. Projects include a 25-site RV campground at the park with full water and electricity hookups, dumping station and shower house.

“There was a lot of

thought that went into the design of the campground as far as the convenience of pulling in, backing in, individual hookups. We went into a lot of detail on that, trying to make it as nice as we could,” said Kent.

The campground road will wind north around the Prairie shelter. Nine pullin sites and 16 back-in sites will branch off the path.

“We looked at several around and got a lot of feedback from local RV campers and what they wanted,” said Kent. “For instance, a lot of your older campsites only had up to 30 amp hookups and with today’s bigger RV systems they’re requiring 50 amp, so our boxes will have a 20, 30 and 50 breaker box they can hook into.”

In the future, buddy sites — areas where four or five RVs can camp together — and a bathroom with a

shower house will be added.

“With the shower house, we’ll have to put in a wetland sanitation system. That would also allow us to have a dump station for the RVs,”

he said. “Eventually, there will be a loop that goes into the trees for primitive camping — basically, tent camping, sleeping bags, whatever people want to use.”

It’s a long-awaited development for people in the area who enjoy spending time in the Great Outdoors.

“Right now, there’s not a campground in Clarke

Diehl honored to receive community service award

By HILARY FERRAND

Living a life of service doesn’t result in many thanks. Tuesday night was an exception for one outstanding Osceola volunteer. Ann Diehl received the 2017 Community Service Award at the Osceola Chamber Main Street and Clarke County Development Corporation annual dinner Tuesday, Jan. 24, at Lakeside Hotel and Casino.

“A lot of things are being explained now that I didn’t understand,” said a surprised Diehl, who’d noticed unexpected friends and family in the crowd. “Thank you all so much.”

Diehl’s record of service goes back more than four decades. She was on the Clarke Community School Board for nine years, serv-

hypnotherapist for more than 50 years. She’s an accomplished community actor, writer, director and costume designer. She’s served on numerous committees, written grants and campaigned for improvements all over Clarke County.

“I honestly can’t think of anyone who deserves this more than Ann Diehl,” said Chuck DeVos, event emcee and lead pastor of LifePoint Church.

He’s not the only one who thinks so.

In 2007, Diehl received the Governor’s Volunteer Award. Together with her husband, the late Fred Diehl, Ann was recognized for her efforts in restoring the Osceola Train Depot last year.

County that’s in a park area,” said Kent. “There’s been such a demand from local people. They want to be able to go camping and then run home and take a shower — or run home and check their livestock. They want somewhere close to home.”

How soon they will get it is another matter. The first phase of development is set to begin this spring.

“Our goal this year is to get all the roads in, the electrical and the water — the infrastructure,” said Kent.

In the meantime, two Osceola Eagle Scouts will be making their own marks on the park. Through their efforts, the park will gain a new soccer field and a refurbished basketball court.

More information on those improvements can be found in next week’s edition of the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune.

West Lake is a popular spot for ice fishing, but this weekend there will be crowds on surface like Osceola has never seen.

When Cody Mundy started the West Lake Ice Out ice fishing tournament four years ago, he had no idea it would become as popular as it is.

“It’s the second-largest in the state,” said his dad, Charlie Mundy.

A quick look at the list of door prizes and giveaways makes it easy to tell why it’s so popular.

Cody Mundy estimates between 150-200 two-person teams show up on the

ice 7:30 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 29. The estimated payout for first place is $1,500, and that’s based on 100 entries.

If all goes as planned, first prize could be twice that.

However, that’s not the only thing people look forward to winning.

“This year we have lots of safety equipment,” said Mundy, but door prizes also include reels, warming shoe inserts and other fishing supplies.

“Everybody goes home with door prizes,” said Mundy, stressing he tries to make the $75 entry fee per team worth the expense.

The Davis and Diawara brothers also got started by following in family footsteps.

“I used to high school rodeo along with my sister,” said their mom, Michelle Diawara. “Trey went to the Junior High Nationals Finals in New Mexico for two years. Josiah started at the Clarke County Youth Rodeos at age 2.”

Equipment costs and travel are a major investment, and practice sessions are arduous. Still, it’s a sport that teaches children how to stay focused and persistent, even when the going gets tough.

Iowa citizens playing key role in Sanders Joins Senate tracking imperiled wildlife Leaders to Unveil $1 It’s 10 o’clock on a sum- to watch the nest from a mer night along a gravel distance and not disturb the Trillion Infrastructure Plan road anywhere in Iowa. In birds,” Shepherd said. Last WASHINGTON – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) joined Senate Democratic leaders Tuesday to announce a 10-year, $1 trillion proposal to rebuild our nation’s crumbling infrastructure and create 15 million middle-class jobs.

The proposal, “Blueprint to Rebuild America’s Infrastructure,” would rebuild roads, bridges, railways, water systems, broadband networks, VA hospitals, schools and airports throughout the United States.

“Look, this is kind of a ‘no-brainer.’ Whether you are in the state of Vermont or the state of California, you understand that our infrastructure is crumbling: our roads, our bridges, our water systems, our wastewater plants, our airports, our levies and our dams,” Sanders told a Capitol news conference.

“What we need to do is to invest $1 trillion over the next 10 years to rebuild that crumbling infrastructure. We used to lead the world. The United States was No.1 in the quality of our infrastructure. Today, we are No. 12,” said Sanders, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.

“When we rebuild our infrastructure, we rebuild the middle class because we can create up to 15 million decent-paying jobs in all areas of life: in urban America, in rural America, for all of our people,” Sanders added.

The American Society of Civil Engineers says the United States must spend $1.6 trillion above current levels to get our infrastructure to a state of good re-

pair. Today, the United States spends less on infrastructure, as a percent of the gross domestic product, than at any time in the past 20 years.

“President Trump campaigned on rebuilding the infrastructure. Let’s do it, but let’s do it in a way that does not provide huge tax breaks to the wealthiest people in this country and to the largest corporations,” Sanders said. “I hope very much that this is an issue where all of us can get together because it is certainly something the American people want.”

In Vermont, $700 million a year is needed through 2018 to get roads to a state of good repair, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, which also notes that 30 percent of Vermont’s bridges are deficient and 16 percent of Vermont’s dams are classified as high or significant-hazard potential.

Vermont’s infrastructure, the group said, also requires: $510 million over the next 20 years to be invested in the community drinking water systems and an additional $156 million in funds for annual repairs and upgrades to Vermont’s wastewater and storm water facilities.

“President Trump campaigned on rebuilding the infrastructure. Let’s do it, but let’s do it in a way that does not provide huge tax breaks to the wealthiest people in this country and to the largest corporations,” Sanders said. “I hope very much that this is an issue where all of us can get together because it is certainly something the American people want.”

the farm pond next to the road a raucous chorus of male frogs are making themselves heard as they vie for mates. A volunteer stands clipboard in hand, ear cocked, mentally sorting out each of the calling species using this seemingly ordinary pond.

Skip over to a Saturday morning by the river where another volunteer has binoculars and spotting scope trained on the tallest tree in the vicinity. In this tree is a huge nest, home to two bald eagles and their young. A peaceful hour is spent watching one of the most spectacular birds in North America.

Every year across Iowa, Iowans are making enormous contributions to wildlife conservation. Both of the volunteers described above were trained through the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ Volunteer Wildlife Monitoring Program (VWMP).

Every March and April, Iowa DNR wildlife diversity biologist Shepherd travels around the state to lead training workshops that prepare volunteers to collect data on some of Iowa’s critical wildlife.

So what are these critical wildlife species? One training workshop focuses on some of Iowa’s more spectacular bird species such as Bald Eagles, Ospreys, and Peregrine Falcons. Volunteers are taught how to collect data on specific nesting sites around the state and submit pertinent data such as how many young birds fledge.

“This data collection requires lots of patience and some good optics in order

year volunteers reported on at least 161 bald eagle nests across the state.

The second survey requires a keen ear.

Volunteers are trained to listen to and recognize the 16 species of frogs and toads in Iowa based on their breeding calls. In 2016, volunteers surveyed 55 routes which translate into roughly 400 wetland sites monitored for frog and toad activity.

“The frog and toad surveyors are particularly special because to perform the surveys they have to drive back country roads at night along a specified route which would not be everyone’s cup of tea,” Shepherd said. “This is a unique experience and opportunity to explore Iowa’s wild places at night.”

The Volunteer Wildlife Monitoring Program provides an opportunity for adults who love the outdoors and wildlife to be directly involved with the conservation and monitoring of Iowa’s resources. “The work is crucial to the well-being of these species,” she said.

Interested volunteers must register for and attend a training workshop. The DNR is partnering with the Kossuth, Marion, Johnson, and Dickinson County Conservation boards with to host workshops.

A bald eagle workshop will be held March 4 in Kossuth County near Algona.

Three frog and toad survey workshops will be held in the evening in Marion County on April 4, Johnson County on April 6 and Dickinson County on April 11. For more information visit: http://www. iowadnr.com/vwmp/ or e-mail vwmp@dnr.iowa.gov.

Fifth annual soup supper to fund fair activities

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

The Clarke County Fair Board’s fifth-annual soup supper fundraiser runs 4:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, at the Clarke County Events Center, located at the Fairgrounds, 2070 Highway 34. Supper starts at 5 p.m., with a silent auction from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and a live auction after.

“A lot of [people] don’t stay for the auction. They just come out and eat,” said board president Jeff Webb.

While there’s nothing wrong for coming out for comeraderie’s sake, this year’s auctions hold some-

thing special in store.

“We’ve got some awfully nice stuff,” said Webb.

“Lots of stuff people can actually use.”

Businesses throughout the area donated pet food and care supplies, farmthemed toys and specialty snacks, among other items.

There will also be a limited number of ribbons and plaques up for auction.

Winning bidders are named as sponsors on the awards when they’re given out to fair exhibitors.

“For the live auction, we have bigger ticket items like vacation stays on the boat, sponsorship buckles or banners,” said board treasurer, Paula Hein. “Banners, last

year, went for $75 and up.

The plaques start at $24 and usually go up $35.”

The money raised goes to a great cause.

“Everything we raise that night helps pay for the expense of the fair,” said Hein. “Judges, utilities, entertainment, the kids’ exhibitor premium money.”

The Clarke County Fair does things a bit differently from some of its peers.

Instead of premiums going to finalists, every child who takes part gets a portion of the payout.

“They’ve got projects they’ve worked on for a year or six months, so they receive something for putting their time and effort into it,” said Hein.

How much they receive depends on several factors, including the types of exhibits they’re showing. Beyond that, the annual soup supper funds all of the aspects of putting on a large event for the community.

“Last year, we raised $28,000. That did pay for the fair,” said Hein.

With any luck, the fair board will be able to say the same this year.

At the Movies ‘Hidden Figures,’ Rated PG Review by HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

The story behind “Hidden Figures” is fascinating, even more so because it is based in fact.

During the 1960s, in the South at the time of the Civil Rights Movement, there was another war being waged in America — the fight to flight. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was desperate to get a man into space and keep Russians from getting an interstellar advantage.

The Space Race is well-documented, both in fiction and factual works, but what is surprising is the role women — in particular, black women — played in the success of early Mercury and Apollo missions.

An entire division of African-American number crunchers processed data related to the space program to make these flights possible. Three of these women were instrumental in determining the right coordinates, creating the right tools and figuring out the programming needed to put an American safely into orbit.

“Hidden Figures” presents Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) as three smart and determined female scientists who perservered despite facing the racist, sexist attitudes of the times.

Actors excelled at

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

presenting the attitudes of the day, ranging from oblivious prejudice to downright nastiness.

While Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) was presented as a demanding program leader who cared more about results than race, the roles of Paul Stafford (Jim Parsons) and Vivian Mitchell (Kirsten Dunst) were frustratingly authentic.

The fact that the main characters are based on real people who had a real impact on the space program is enough to get parents to the theaters with their children. Unfortunately, the story is only loosely based on their lives.

In the movie, the three most important black women at NASA also happen to be the best of friends, carpooling to work and supporting one another through their problems.

John Glenn, made out to be the only influential astronaut of the bunch, is somehow Johnson’s biggest fan.

For a story based on the truth, there are times when “Hidden Figures” doesn’t seem that realistic.

However, that doesn’t stop the point of the movie from coming across loud and clear: Black women are smart, capable and have overcome great diversity to make significant contributions to this country. For that alone, it’s worth watching.

Rated PG for thematic elements and some language, “Hidden Figures” runs 127 minutes and is showing from Feb. 3 - Feb. 9 at the Lyric Theater.

DHS is using a new approach on the upcoming procurements for these services.

They want to move toward a system of successful outcomes for children and families.

Their goal is to collaborate with public and private partners to create a consensus on the vision for Iowa’s child welfare system. DHS is hoping to move toward a standardized tool to determine what level of care children need to be placed in. Currently, there is not one behavioral assessment. This causes children to be placed in different situations based on the area of

Doggie daytrips to Des Moines

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Des Moines is a surprisingly dog-friendly town, so pet owners wanting a day away from home won’t have to worry about boarding when visiting the capital.

Forty-five minutes north on Interstate 35, Des Moines is a familiar site for residents of Osceola. It’s just a short drive to expansive opportunities for shopping, dining and taking in the arts or fun family activities. Des Moines is also Fido-friendly, and visitors won’t be

limited to the great outdoors.

Granted, many of the ways the Metro caters to canines are better suited to warmer months. Miles of trails wind through the city, and parks allow for a variety of outdoor adventures.

Saylorville Lake, Jester Park, and the pet-accessible rental equipment at Big Creek State Park make a big impression on active pet owners. The area has several safe beaches to keep walks interesting, and a number of pools — like the Prairie Ridge Aquatic Center — offer swim days for tail-waggers as well.

Even the I-Cubs get in on the action, with their Dog Days of Summer events. The dates in spring and summer welcome pooches into Principal Park by the dozens.

That isn’t to say the winter months leave traveling visitng pet owners wanting. A number of stores, from Bass Pro Shops and Tractor Supply Co., to boutique pet stores, such as Bone-A-Patreatand Jett and Monkey’s Dog Shoppe, provide special attention to their puppy patrons.

Dog-friendly lodging in Des Moines

For travelers who want to spend the night, there’s one hotel that really caters to the canine crowd. La Quinta Inn & Suites Des Moines West Clive, 1390 NW 118th St., offers all the amenities pets and people need.

Guests can ook online for the best rates, and then settle in to enjoy the heated indoor pool and hot tub, free ultra-highspeed internet, expanded cable services and incredibly comfortable pillow-top mattresses.

Pampered pups will appreciate the generous amounts of grassy area near the hotel, and everyone is grateful for gratis doggie bags and

expert-level soundproofing.

There’s a reason this hotel is the lodging of choice for many dog show exhibitors. Travelers who stay during an American Kennel Club event weekend are sure to get an eyeful of the most beautiful examples of any breed.

Taking pets on vacation has grown in popularity over the past decade, and there’s no doubt quality of life has risen for companion animals across the country.

For those looking to get away while keeping their best friends close at hand, Des Moines presents a pleasantly pet-friendly option in the Midwest.

DES MOINES – More than 1,500 collegiate students, faculty, staff, and guest artists will visit Des Moines this week for the 2017 Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region 5.

The festival, which runs through Jan. 28, welcomes more than 80 Midwest universities and colleges, approximately 15 of which are from Iowa. Students will spend their time developing theater skills and celebrating work produced by their peers in four of Des Moines’ major performing arts venues: Des Moines Civic Center, Hoyt Sherman Place, Temple for Performing Arts, and Des Moines Social Club.

Des Moines was selected to host the festival because of its strong theater scene and long list of arts and culture offerings. This is the first time an organization, rather than a college or university, has served as the host for a Region 5 festival.

The festival is hosted by the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau in partnership with Iowa State University and Grand ViewUniversity.

Years ago, as Alfred Nobel was reading the newspaper, he was shocked to find his name listed in the obituary column. It was a mistake, but nonetheless, there it was. What stunned him even more was what the obituary said. As he read through it he discovered that the only thing the obituary noted about him was the fact that he was the man who had invented dynamite.

At that time in history, dynamite was used in great effect for warfare. It distressed Nobel to think that all he would be known for was inventing dynamite, something that was used to take the lives of others. As a result of reading this mistaken obituary, Nobel decided to change the course of his life, he set a course to change his legacy.

From that day on, Alfred Nobel committed himself to world peace and established what we know today as the Nobel Peace Prize.

When the name Alfred Nobel is mentioned today, dynamite is rarely the first thing that comes to mind.

Rather, we think of the prize that bears his name.

It’s all because Alfred Nobel decided to change the course his life was taking.

year. With that in mind, let me ask you this: If you were to read your own obituary today, what do you think people would remember you for?

Your answer to the question and someone else’s answer to that question might be two quite different answers. Nobel wouldn’t have guessed he would be remembered for dynamite, but that was everyone else’s answer. So what did he do?

He changed the course of his life.

And friend, it isn’t too late to change your direction....if you need to. Maybe you don’t, but maybe you do. Proverbs 16:17 says this: The path of the upright leads away from evil; whoever follows that path is safe.

What path are you on? Is it a path that will lead you to the destination you want it to, or is it a path that will lead you where you don’t want to end up? Alfred Nobel chose a path........but then chose a different path.

Let me encourage you to press the pause button on life as we begin a new year.

Take a close look at the path you’re on. Make whatever adjustments might be necessary. Then press play again, and pursue life with all you have within you!!!

God bless.........and Happy New Year to you!!!

Art and law converge in new exhibit at State Capitol First-time exhibit features Yun Shin of Orange City DES MOINES – A new art exhibit opens today in the State Law Library in the State Capitol. Legal eagles and sharp-eyed visitors will spot it on display amid the room’s ornate spiral staircases and towering shelves of books.

Created by a partnership between the State Law Library and the Iowa Arts Council,​the State Law Library Art Exhibit features works from Iowa artists on a rotating basis beginning today with 2016 Iowa Artist Fellow Yun Shin of Orange City. The exhibit is free and open to the public 8 a.m. 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in the State Law Library in the State Capitol. The State Law Library is a division of the State Library of Iowa. The Iowa Arts Council is a division of the Iowa Department of

For instance, no alcohol is allowed on site. Team members have to fish within 10 feet of each other. All fish must be kept fresh, even in frigid temperatures. Finally, up to 25 crappies from each team will be weighed. Bringing in other species results in penalties.

“The start of it was, I’d entered in a fishing tournament, and the reason they’d had the tournament was to help the quality of the lake. The lake in Osceola has an overabundance of smaller fish, said Mundy. “I thought it would help by taking some of those out.”

Crappies are desirable but those living

“This is a wonderful opportunity to bring art into a nontraditional setting where it can inspire and reflect the work that takes place there,” Iowa Arts Council Administrator Matt Harris said. “Our state law library is a beautiful work of architectural art in and of itself, so this exhibit complements the space perfectly. We are very pleased to partner with the State Law Library on this exhibit and encourage Iowans to see it.”

In her work, Shin​draws upon her experience as a South Korean immigrant living in rural Iowa. She uses the process of making art to reconstruct memory and relationships​from her homeland​. Often, she photographs or digitally scans a a family artifact, such as a

in West Lake are very small. The Ice Out was planned partially to keep fish populations under control.

“Every year the quality of fish has gotten better and better,” said Mundy. “We weighed in well over 3,000 fish last year. It helps out a lot.”

As an additional benefit, a friend of the family attends a church with a fish fry, which is where many of the crappies taken from West Lake wind up.

bedsheet, and then embellishes the new two-dimensional form with repetitive motifs that echo the tedium traditionally associated with women’s work, such as embroidery.

The simple materials – little more than pencils and paper -- as well as the artist’s time and labor are important elements of the final product, which can reveal subtle insights about both family and personal

history. Many layers lie below the surface.

“Yun Shin​ ‘s​art is very thoughtful and mirrors the way our patrons approach their work and conduct research,” State Librarian Michael Scott said. “There is a certain degree of parallelism between the contemplative nature of her work and the law that makes the exhibit perfect in this space.”

“[Hunter] has been bucked off, he has been stepped on and he has never given up.” Heather Reese said. “He has the heart!”

The boys love the excitement, but rodeo means

more to them as well.

“Sometimes it hurts to fall off,” said Trey Diawara, but he said he keeps getting back up to build his confidence.

He appreciates, too, that rodeo gives him a reason to travel and make close friends.

“As a mom, you appreciate your bullfighters,” said Heather Reese of the older participants. “In Ames, when Hunter was bucked off his saddle bronc and was about to be stomped, Cody [Hatfield] grabbed him, pulled him back and placed his body over Hunter

to protect him. Both came out good because of Cody’s quick reactions.”

Even little Davis knows the value of an older rodeo buddy.

“Now, remember, he’s 4,” laughed his mom. “He says the clowns help him off so he don’t get in the cow poop.”

We believe Rod Roberts is supremely qualified for lieutenant governor of Iowa and urge Kim Reynolds to give the former Carroll Republican legislator and director of the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals serious consideration to be her partner in a rare, seize-the-moment session for a Republican governor whose party will control both chambers of the Iowa Legislature.

Call, email or write Reynolds and tell her you want Rod Roberts as lieutenant governor: Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds Office of the Lieutenant Governor State Capitol 1007 East Grand Ave. Des Moines, Iowa 50319 Phone: 515.281.5211 Email: www.governor.iowa.gov

As governor-in-waiting, Reynolds would be smart to absorb all advice, from all corners, all comers. But in the end, this appointment of a lieutenant governor must be her gut-level choice alone. We think Rod Roberts should be on the other end of that Reynolds phone call.

CARDINAL GIRLS HOOPS Central Decatur stays perfect with two wins

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa.ocom

Class 2A third-ranked Central Decatur’s girls basketball team is still perfect on the season.

The Cardinals earned a pair of wins over the past week.

On Monday, the Cardinals rolled past Chariton in nonconference play. On Friday, the Cardinals cruised past Nodaway Valley in Pride of Iowa Conference play.

Central Decatur moved to 15-0 on the season.

CD 77, Chariton 57 LEON — A strong second quarter turned a close game into a rout as Central Decatur downed Chariton 77-57.

Central Decatur led 23-15 after one quarter. The Cardinals outscored the Chargers 30-12 in the second, taking a 52-27 lead into halftime.

Central Decatur stretched the lead to 7440 after three quarters.

Four Cardinals finished in double figures offensively. Emma Atwood led the way with 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor and 9-of-11 at the free throw line. She also grabbed five rebounds and three steals.

It certainly was a wild stretch of games recently for the Clarke girls basketball team.

The Lady Indians overcame a big deficit in the fourth quarter to pull out an overtime win at Albia Friday.

On Saturday, Clarke nearly recovered from a disastrous start, but eventually fell at Creston.

On Monday, the Lady Indians were cruising along in the first half, then had to hold on late to earn a home win over Pleasantville.

“Some of my parents just told me (Monday) they’re asking if I’m trying to give them a heart attack,” said Clarke coach Eric Zoske.

“These last three games we’ve been down by 11 and coming back, coming back down from 15 and being up 22 and trying to lose.

“That’s the game of basketball. You talk to the girls — up 20, down 20, you keep playing.”

Clarke 46, Pleasantville 40 Clarke had a strong first half, then held on at the end for a 46-40 win.

The Lady Indians led 30-9 at halftime.

Megan Linskens and Des Stubbe carried the offense.

Linskens had 19 points and six assists. Stubbe added 16 points.

Made baskets were hard to come by for the Lady Indians in the second half.

“If we make some shots, that’s going to be a little easier for us,” Zoske said.

“When they stopped going in, it became a little more challenging.”

picked up steam in the second half.

“Pleasantville did a good job coming back,” Zoske said. “They pushed us in the fourth.”

Vanessa Bakley struggled offensively much of the game, but had a big shot at the right time. Her bucket from short range with 42 seconds put the game away.

“She was due,” Zoske said.

Mount Ayr 35, Interstate 35’s boys basketball team earned a pair of Interstate 35 34 tough road wins last week.

MOUNT AYR — Intersate 35 came up on the short end Thursday at Mount Ayr, falling 35-34.

Mount Ayr’s Megan Warin hit one free throw with six seconds left.

Interstate 35 had a couple chances in the waning seconds, but couldn’t convert.

“We got what we wanted there at the end. We just didn’t get it,” Smith said.

Allowing 35 points was what the Roadrunners wanted to do defensively.

“Giving up 35 points, we probably think we’re going to come out on top,” Smith said.

Interstate 35 59, Bedford 31

After Creston seemed to right the ship coming out in the third quarter, the Indians again battled back. Creston led 38-23 about halfway through the third, but Clarke scored the last seven points of the third and a couple buckets to start the fourth.

“Whether you make or miss shots, your effort has to be there,” Zokse said. “I was glad to see we weren’t making shots early on and our defense kept us in there.”

Albia forced an extra session with two free throws at the end of regulation.

Clarke trailed by one in overtime with less than 20 seconds left.

Megan Linskens hit a 3-point basket to give the Lady Indians a two point lead.

Vanessa Bakley stole the ball on Albia’s ensuing play, then made a free throw. The Lady Indians gave up an uncontested layup in the final seconds, as Albia could not stop the clock.

“The girls played with all of their heart and did anything it took to win a game,” Zoske said. “I’m very proud of them all.”
