CITY COUNCIL

Incumbent Larry Keller and Richard McKnight are competing for the seat of Clarke County Supervisor District 2.

Osceola Volunteer Fire Department will purchase a new fire engine after the Osceola City Council unanimously approved a bid from Reliant Fire Apparatus during its meeting Tuesday, Oct. 4.

At the end of 2015, the Osceola city council authorized the refinancing of a bond to acquire a new fire engine not to exceed $600,000.

“The National Fire Protection Association recommends that our front-line apparatus – the engines that go out the gate first – be replaced every 10 to 15 years,”

City Administrator/Clerk Ty Wheeler said. “The current engines we have are a 1993 and a 1999. Both have been well-maintained by the fire department.”

Still, some questions were raised about purchasing a new engine.

“I understand the importance of newer or updated equipment, but it sure seems

like a lot of communities are starting with 20-year-old (fire engines),” At-large Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis said.

But, Wheeler noted in terms of what the Osceola Volunteer Fire Department offers, newer equipment is necessary.

Kelly Lane to receive hammerhead

By SCOTT VICKER

OST managing editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Kelly Lane in the Harken Hills neighborhood will receive a hammerhead design, allowing more housing to go up in the subdivision.

During a Tuesday, Oct. 4 Osceola City Council meeting, the council unanimously approved an agreement to work with Pragnesh Patel on the cost of constructing

the hammerhead with the provision that no tax abatement would be available on the development of the property.

Patel, the general manager of the Super 8 Motel in Osceola, has an offer pending on undeveloped lots located in the subdivision with plans to develop the two west lots.

“He wants to put a house on that and possibly sell the

other two lots across from that,” Osceola City Administrator/Clerk Ty Wheeler said. “He’s got no intention of completing the cul-desac because of the cost that would be involved in doing so. But, I said we would have to see some sort of completion of that street so there was a proper turnaround.”

The proper turnaround will be a hammerhead design similar to the one that

was completed at the end of Temple Street in 2015.

In order for this to happen, however, Patel will need to re-plat the remaining four plats in the subdivision. The cul-de-sac will be removed from the plat and a hammerhead will be platted in. Then, once approved by city council, Patel will be able to set his KELLY | 4

After several tours in the U.S., Europe and Korea, my wife, our two sons and I returned to Iowa to build our current home on a part of the old family farm.

After retiring from the military, I was hired to work in the Clarke County Engineer’s office. I obtained my professional engineer’s license in 1992 and was hired by the Board of Supervisors to be the Clarke County engineer.

In 2004, I became the county engineer in Decatur County. While serving as the full-time engineer in Clarke and Decatur counties, I also filled in as the part-time engineer for Madison, Ringgold, Wayne and Lucas counties.

I retired from county engineering in 2012. Since then, I have been a retired farmer and full-time grandpa.

• Why are you running for this position?

I believe that every citizen has the right and responsibility to participate in the governing activities and decisions of their government at the county, state and federal level.

This requires that citizens learn about each of the candidates for political office and vote in the election.

Citizens should share in the discussions and decisions being made by the various governing agencies. We should strive to increase the background and number of people involved in these dialogues and discussions before decisions are made.

partment used Creston Fire Department’s fire engine as a template and worked out its specs from there.

“They ended up with a total project cost of $621,000,” Wheeler said. “However, if we authorize a payment at the time of signing, which we can do because we’ve been sitting on the funds for a year now, we get a discount bringing the total cost down to $593,723.”

With pre-payment, there is a performance bond built into the contract, meaning the city is insured in the case the product is not delivered.

It will take approximately 10 months to deliver the engine.

“I’ve looked at the blueprints with (Fire) Chief Mike Frey,” Mayor Thomas Kedley said. “I’m very proud of what he’s put together. He’s been very fiscally responsible.

I can’t wait to go up and see this machine for myself.”

“We are the lead department in the county,” Wheeler said. “We also run the interstate.

So, most of the time, we’re providing mutual aid to a lot of Wheeler the smaller communities around the area.”

Fotiadis also inquired about the disposal of the old fire engine and if it would have any trade-in value.

Wheeler said it would not hold trade-in value, but it would have value to a smaller department. The Osceola Volunteer Fire Department has already had discussions with other departments about In other city council selling an old fire engine.

New engine Since fire engines are specialized pieces of machinery and generalized specs are difficult to come up with, Iowa Code does not require going through the process of obtaining competitive bids.

Still, Osceola Volunteer Fire Department obtained several bids for a new fire engine before settling on one from Reliant Fire Apparatus for a Pierce truck.

BACK IN TIME Every picture tells a story

By Lynnette Davis contributor

Roy had worked in his father’s creamery in Murray for several years since their move in 1896 from Pennsylvania, but his real dream was to be a photographer. He studied photography and also learned from a Creston artist. In January 1901, he took over the Murray studio of T.F. Clark.

Roy handled a full line of supplies for the amateur photographer, in addition to taking first class photographs on glass plate negatives. It was noted in the Murray news that the good-looking people of the community were thankful they had an artist that was capable of making a true likeness on a piece of cardboard.

In January 1902, he sold his Murray studio.

It was in Murray he met Amy Daniel, who had studied music at Drake University for two years and taught piano in Murray upon her return. They were married March 4, 1902, at her parents’ home. The bride was attired in French organdy with point lace yoke, white ribbon and appliqué trim, the groom in traditional black. They took a wedding trip east

ELECTION: CONT. FROM | 1A

Term limits are essential to elected and appointed positions. No one, including myself, should serve on any board or committee for more than two terms.

• What makes you the best candidate for the job?

No one sets out to make illogical, unfair or illegal decisions, but sometimes, bad habits, past practices or unfamiliarity with state laws can get in the way of our decisions to do what is right for those we represent.

Developing county policies and establishing and approving the county budget are the two most important responsibilities for the Board of Supervisors.

I believe my 20-plus years of military leadership training and 20-plus years of training and experience as a county engineer in preparing budgets, buying equipment, hiring and terminating employees, as well as leading and directing work crews gives me a unique insight and real-world experience into the budgeting and operation of the various county departments.

• If elected, what goals do you have planned in relation to the job?

for several months, leaving on No. 6 train.

In May 1902, Roy purchased Swearingen’s studio in Osceola, and was known as the South Side Photographer. They operated the studio until December 1905, selling it back to Swearingen, who had moved to Leon. The Curries operated the studio at Murray again until April 1906, moving back to Osceola where Roy clerked at Goldsmith’s Department Store. Twin daughters, born in 1907, passed away within two weeks of each other at six and seven months old. Son James was born in 1908, and Richard in 1913.

In 1911, they had moved to the Daniel farm Contributed photo near Van Wert and later Roy Currie and Amy Daniel wedding photograph a farm south of Murray, where they raised chickens. Roy worked in the Soll Grocery store in Murray until his retirement in 1952, when they returned to Osceola to care for Amy’s father, Albert Daniel. Roy died suddenly on March 5, 1954, of a ruptured appendix. He had worked at Western Auto until his death. Amy passed away in February 1969 in Chicago, where she had made her home for sevContributed photo eral years with her sister. Roy’s ad in Osceola Sentinel – May 15, 1902

My goal is to represent the citizens of Clarke County, especially District 2, to the best of my ability.

Voters elect people to represent them and make decisions on day-to-day questions based upon their training and experience.

I would like to help our citizens get involved in major items discussed by the board so they may have time to make input before a decision is finalized. Reading board minutes in the paper is little more than a history lesson.

Not only are they dated, there is little or no reporting of any discussion, only the results of a vote.

As I review department budgets over the last several years, it is apparent county expenses are going up, especially wages, salaries, insurance and health-care costs.

We need to consider changes in policies to better control these costs before they get completely out of hand. We have always provided no-cost health insurance for our employees. Is it time for employees to begin sharing in those costs?

Other county expenses also need to be addressed. With respect to secondary roads, the shoulders of paved roads at many locations are well below the edge of the pavement. Our rock roads are not being sufficiently maintained.

Clarke Electric for 38 years. I have a wife, two children and four grandchildren.

I raise cattle, corn and alfalfa on my farm and attend LifePoint Church on Sundays.

Why are you running for this position?

I have been a county supervisor for almost four years.

We have started a lot of different projects from the roads department to conservation to mental health. There’s a lot more work to be done in the county. If I’m elected, we need to keep working to improve the county for all our citizens.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

I’ve been a supervisor for almost four years. I’ve worked with the two other supervisors to make tough decisions. When I worked for Clarke Electric, you had to work with a lot of different Larry Keller individuals.

Many road culverts are failing or have already failed and represent a driving hazard. Some dirt roads have not seen a road maintainer in weeks.

Maintaining secondary roads is a primary responsibility of county government in Iowa. They are essential for operating farms, getting children bussed to school and getting rural residents to offfarm jobs.

The board needs to establish a policy for correcting these deficiencies. Failure to do so may be a legal liability for secondary roads, the board and county.

“How long?”

“Maybe another six months, tops. Your vision will keep getting worse, only at a faster rate. In another three months, you’ll probably just be able to make out shapes, shadows, big things mainly.”

“So what you’re telling me is I should see all the things I really want to see in the next three months?”

The doctor sadly nodded. “I’m so sorry, Nate.

They just haven’t found a real explanation or cure for what you seem to have. Your eyes are just wearing out.”

“Well Doc, guess I’d better gather all the light I can then. That’s what my grandfather told me anyway. Sounded kind of weird when he said it, but I’d better find out what he meant.”

“Sure sounds like a smart idea, and your grandpa’s an interesting man. How’s his new guide dog working out?”

“Bo’s amazing; he’s working out great.”

“Well, Nate, I’ll see you next month. Betty can make that appointment for you as you leave.”

Nate left the doctor’s office and made his way just down the block to the small coffee shop on the corner where his grandfather had insisted Nate join him for lunch after his eye appointment. As he walked in the coffee shop door, his grandfather greeted him. “Hi Nate. So how’d it go?”

“Well, Gramps, not so good. Seems I’m not going to be seeing too much longer, so I’ve got to know. What did you mean about ‘gathering all the light I can?’”

“Well Nate, it’s like this. Darkness comes to all of us. Some sooner, some later. Different kinds of darkness too –

some physical, some mental. You get the picture.

But, when you gather real light, you’re gonna be able to see everything that’s important, everything that really matters, whether the eyes in your head are working or not.”

“What kind of light do I need to gather?

I’m confused.”

Grandfather laughed, a rich, deep chuckle. “Everything here is very temporary, Nate. What you see, what you hear, all of it. Think about the last meal you ate – I know about those great breakfasts your dad loves to cook! So where is it now?

How long did it last?”

Nate laughed with Gramps. “Now there’s a gross thought!”

“Agreed. But think

about it. Can’t you just taste how good that bacon was? How amazing those waffles were?”

“Oh yeah; in a heartbeat I can!”

“Well,” Grandpa got serious. “You can choose.

You can let the darkness overtake you and do you in. Or, you can depend on the light inside you.

God put that light there, and nothing’s going to dim that light. Nothing.

You’re going to see everything you need to see, everything important, everything that’s forever. And with that kind of sight, your physical eyes won’t matter that much.

You’re going to be a fine man, Nate, and I’m so very proud of you.”

Hear these words of Jesus: “My light will

shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.” (John 12:35-36a) Nate lost his sight a lot faster than the doctors predicted. Within three months, he was totally blind – at least his physical eyes were.

With his grandfather’s help and mentoring, Nate kept gathering light – enough to see everything he needed to, and more. The light Grandpa showed him was definitely unquenchable!

9 SPORTS Clarke football falls just short in Friday loss OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Final home game Friday n

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@ osceolaiowa.com

DONNELSON — Clarke found itself in a big hole early in Friday’s Class 2A District 6 football game at Central Lee. The Indians were able to claw back into the game, even take a lead.

As resilient as Clarke was, it couldn’t quite do enough to pull out the win as Central Lee rallied for a 26-24 victory in Donnelson.

The loss put a big damper on the Indians’ hopes of reaching the postseason.

Afterward, the Indians showed how much that game meant to them.

“The guys were pretty emotional about it,” said assistant coach Aaron O’Tool. “You could tell this was the toughest loss of the season.”

Knowing the postseason is now a much more difficult task to accomplish, the Indians felt the weight of what happened.

“The seniors wanted this bad,”

THURSDAY • OCTOBER 13, 2016

O’Tool said. “Central Lee was in the playoffs last year. That would’ve been a huge win for us.

We would’ve been 4-1 and be tied for second with Centerville.”

Clarke found itself down 13-0 in the first quarter.

“Right away, it wasn’t looking too good,” O’Tool said. “It looked like the fist few weeks.”

A pep talk to the team livened their spirits up.

“We talked to the guys and asked them how bad do you want this?”

O’Tool said.

But the Indians kept clawing back. A touchdown and a twopoint conversion cut the lead to 13-8. Another first-half touchdown and two-point conversion gave Clarke a 16-13 lead.

Central Lee used some trickeration right before halftime to retake the lead 20-16.

Central Lee scored again early in the third quarter to push the lead to 26-16.

Clarke countered, cutting the lead to 26-24.

The Indians had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Clarke did something it’s rarely done this season, attempting a field goal. The kick had the distance but fell off to the side.

“We put our kicker in a tough

Clarke senior receiver Brandyne Olin caught five passes for 89 yards in Friday’s game at Central Lee.

position,” O’Tool said. “He was either going be a hero or he was going to miss the field goal. It had the distance, but he hooked it just a little bit left.”

Clarke couldn’t capitalize on two more opportunities late in the fourth quarter, but both drives ended with Central Lee interceptions.

“We had opportunities,” O’Tool said. “They were there the entire time. We just missed key opportunities. That’s the game of football.

You’ve got to hate it sometimes and you’ve got to love it.”

Central Lee’s defensive line crashed hard on Clarke’s up-themiddle run game, making it difficult for the Indians to move the ball that way.

“We couldn’t get anything going with (Nathan) Bair up the middle,” O’Tool said. “We had been successful with that. We had to adjust and get the ball outside.”

Receivers Gabe Crawford and Brandyne Olin and quarterback Andy Hurtado stepped up for the Indians. Hurtado was 13-of29 passing for 229 yards with two

touchdowns. Crawford caught 10 passes for 170 yards and three touchdowns. Olin caught five passes for 89 yards.

Garrett Moore rushed for 148 yards on 16 carries.

Clarke’s offensive line gave Hurtado plenty of time to find Crawford and Olin open down the field.

“The offensive line played phenomenal,” O’Tool said. “They gave Andy plenty of time to make decisions. He made good decisions.

The receivers caught the ball.”

Bair led the defensive charge with 15 tackles Trey Diawara had 14 tackles. Olin had 13 tackles, while Amani Fry added nine tackles.

UP NEXT — Clarke (3-4, 3-2) closes out the home portion of the schedule Friday hosting Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. The Rockets (2-5, 2-3) fell to PCM 49-0.

Friday’s game is a final opportunity for the Indians to play in front of the home faithful.

“We’re excited,” O’Tool said.

“I think we’ll see a big crowd. The community’s really starting to build around us. We’re playing with confidence. Anything’s possible. We hope a lot of people show up and see some performances out of our seniors they haven’t seen yet.”

Interstate 35 bounces back, tops D.M. Christian

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa.com

TRURO — Interstate 35 started the week knowing a number of players were going to be returning to the lineup.

With a full slate of healthy bodies available, the Roadunners were able to take advantage in a 48-21 win over Des Moines Christian.

“We were healthy finally,” said Interstate 35 coach Mike Stuart. “The kids showed up and hit hard, that’s for sure.”

The Roadrunners were coming off a demoralizing 35-7 loss at rival Central Decatur the week before.

Interstate 35 bounced back in a big way.

“That was a big win for us,” Stuart said.

“We needed that after last week. They played extremely well.”

Stuart knew the team was primed for a big week when he walked into the locker room ahead of last Monday’s practice.

“I could tell the guys had a level of confidence,” Stuart said. “We prepared well.

They prepared themselves.”

Sophomore running back Mason Cassady set the tone offensively. Cassady rushed for 220 yards on 19 carries, good for an 11.6 yardper-carry average with four touchdowns.

“Mason looked really well,” Stuart said.

“He was healthy. He played with confidence.”

Cassady had help from his teammates up front.

“We were finally healthy up front,” Stuart

said. “We did well.”

Quarterback Brayden Egli threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns on 21-of-26.

Richie Griglione caught eight passes for 124 yards. Cassady caught four passes for 64 yards and one score. Tanner Daniels caught five passes for 54 yard and a touchdown.

Austin Beener caught two passes for 14 yards and one score.

“The offense played well,” Stuart said.

Defensively, Dante Arzani had seven solo tackles, six assists, two solo tackles for loss, three assists for loss and one sack. Egli had seven solo tackles and one assist. Beener had six solo tackles and one assist. Jake Hutton, Jacob Steinlage and Cameron Vodraska each had a sack. Beener and Cassady each picked up an interception.

“Defensively, we had to switch some stuff around because of their passing game,” Stuart said. “It was a team effort. We never let them get momentum. Defensively, we did our assignments.”

Stuart credited the work of the secondary for slowing down the Lions’ passing attack.

“The defensive backs kept everything in front of them,” Stuart said. “They knew they would give up yards. They had to check down to shorter routes. We were completely OK with that. It worked out really well.”

UP NEXT — Interstate 35 (4-3, 2-3) closes out the home portion of the schedule against Woodward Academy. The Eagles (0-7, 0-5) fell to Central Decatur 69-40.

“We know they’ve got some athletes,” Stuart said. “We have to get back to work.”

Teas runs wild, Mustangs snap four-game skid

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

LAMONI — Murray senior Dustin Teas picked the football team up on its shoulders last Friday.

Behind a strong all-around night from Teas, the Mustangs snapped a four-game losing streak with a 44-40 win at Lamoni in Eight-player District 6.

Teas totalled 377 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns.

“Dustin Teas had his best game of the season,” said

Murray coach Taylor Fulton.

“He was all over the place for us.”

Teas made his impact right away in special teams, taking the opening kickoff back 79 yards for a touchdown.

“We were able to give the ball to Dustin in every situation,” Fulton said. “He decided he wasn’t going to be stopped. He led the way for us. He wasn’t going to be denied.”

Teas rushed 25 times for 191 yards and two touchdowns, including a 68-yard scoring run.

“Dustin Teas was our standout guy,” Fulton said. “It

seemed like in any big play we had, he led the way.

He ran physically north and Teas south. He initiated contact. Anybody trying to tackle him, he made them pay.”

He caught two passes for 72 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown reception.

“He stepped up in a big way,” Fulton said. “He put the team on his back. It was one of the most dominant

games of football I’ve seen in a long time.”

Quarterback Reece Held completed 11-of-16 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. Joshua Barber caught six passes for 23 yards and one touchdown.

Murray’s offensive line created all sorts of holes for Teas to run through and time for Held to pass.

“Our offensive line played some of the best it’s been all season,” Fulton said.

The defense even found a way to contribute as Josh Webb intercepted a pass and took it back for a touchdown.

Murray finally broke out

of its skid.

“It’s great to get the monkey off our back,” Fulton said. “We’ve been struggling the last few weeks. It was nice to be in a competitive game, a physical game.”

Barber led the defense with 14 solo tackles, three for loss and one solo tackle for loss. Teas had seven solo tackles and one for loss.

Keller and Tyler McMillen each had four solo tackles and one assist. McMillen added a fumble recovery.

UP NEXT — Murray (3-4, 1-4) closes out the home portion of the schedule Friday hosting Wayne. The Falcons

(4-3, 2-3) picked up a 17-0 forfeit win over Mormon Trail Friday.

“They’re well coached.

They have a pretty balanced attack. They’re going to run and pass. We look for a physical game. They always come ready to play. They’re one of the most physical teams we paly.

“We’re looking forward to a great game. I know the boys are hungry. They came out on top against us last year. We’re hoping we can give one back to them.

We’re excited to get this one in. We’re hoping for a great game.”

Roadrunner netters adjusting to life without key piece, reach POI semis

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

TRURO — Interstate 35’s volleyball team had to go through a bit of a midseason adjustment.

After losing standout middle hitter Riley Morris for the season to multiple torn ligaments in her left knee, coach Tim McKinney had to overhaul the lineup to better serve the Roadrunners.

While the Roadrunners had some bumpy moments at times in Monday’s opening round of the Pride of Iowa Conference Tournament, they were able to hang on to earn two wins and reach the semifinals.

Interstate 35 defeated Wayne 27-25 and 26-24.

The Roadrunners topped Nodaway Valley 26-24 and 25-23.

Instead of relying on the pure power Morris provided in the middle, the Roadrunners have had to be more crafty with their shots.

“We are working on being a little more precise, because our lineup demands us to be a little more particular,” McKinney said.

That’s meant shifting Carlyn Stanley from setter to a hitter.

Stanley’s filled into the role nicely. She finished with 12 kills in the two matches.

“That’s been the biggest booster to her confidence is her swinging,” McKinney said. “She’s stepped in and she can do it.”

The Roadrunners have also worked to open up more offensive attempts for Slye Richardson on the outside and Brooklyn McCuddin in the middle.

“Without a 6-foot middle, we need to throw it around a little more,” McKinney said.

“We’re trying to be more precise and varied.”

Richardson finished with a team-high 13 kills, while McCuddin had five kills and three blocks.

Kate Stanley led the Roadrunners with 32 assists.

Olivia Carlson had 10 digs.

Saylor Vodraska had six ace serves, several coming as the Roadrunners rallied from a 24-19 deficit in the first set against Nodaway Valley.

“Coach and I look at each other and say we didn’t teach it,” McKinney said. “It’s a float serve. It’s flat. She’s pretty confident back there.”

Interstate 35 has taken what McKinney’s asked to heart, especially since Morris went out.

“We talked about their

resiliency,” McKinney said.

“We’re changing our passive volleyball to passionate volleyball and pursuing with passion.”

Interstate 35 played Mount Ayr in the semifinals Tuesday in Afton.

Also in the Pride of Iowa Conference tournament, Central Decatur advanced with a pair of straight-set wins.

The Cardinals defeated East Union and Pleasantville in two straight sets.

Central Decatur topped East Union 25-15 and 25-16.

Central Decatur improved to 19-5 on the season. The Cardinals played Southwest Valley in one semifinal.

GREENFIELD — Interstate 35’s Dominic Cresta picked up a good idea of what he was going to see at the Pride of Iowa Conference Meet.

Cresta challenged himself against several Nodaway Valley runners, including Shane Breheny and Brycen Wallace.

Cresta kept right with the top pack, leading to a fifthplace finish at the Nodaway Valley Invitational on Oct. 3 at the Greenfield Country Club.

Cresta came into the meet off a high after winning the Clarke meet.

“That was kind of his strategy,” said Interstate 35 coach Desman Oakley. “He was feeling good after winning last week. I told him to give it a shot and go after the top guys.”

Wallace went out faster than anticipated, but Cresta still ran his race.

“I didn’t want him to go out and chase (Wallace) and
