Barb Hellyer making ‘touch quilts’ for Homestead Assisted Living’s memory-care unit

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

A simple touch can go a long way — even with a quilt.

Barb Hellyer, 83, a resident at Homestead Assisted Living in Osceola, is making “touch quilts” for use in the assisted-living’s new memory-care unit, which is currently being built. The unit focuses on patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

“Touch,” or sensory

quilts, use squares of different fabrics throughout the quilts.

“The idea is that they (patients) can rub their hands across this … and they get a different sense or feel, and they are so helpful in doing just that — in helping those who fidget,” Hellyer said.

The memory-care will have 12 patients and each will receive a “touch” quilt.

A New Virginia man died in a rollover accident 10:14 a.m. today.

According to an Iowa State Patrol report, James Eugene Shadden Jr., 22, of New Virginia, was driving a 2003 Jeep north on 240th Avenue, one-half

mile south of Highway 69. The accident’s location is north of Osceola.

Shadden lost control of the vehicle, which entered the east ditch and came back onto the road. The vehicle rolled once and Shadden was ejected from the vehicle.

Shadden was not wearing his seat belt. He was the only occupant in the vehicle.

According to an Iowa State Patrol officer, speed was a factor in the onevehicle accident.

Clarke County Fire Department, Clarke County Hospital, Osceola Police Department and Iowa State Patrol responded to the accident.

An air ambulance from Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines also responded for Shadden’s injuries.

Osceola to have first-ever Zombie Prom

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Ghosts and goblins and ghouls, oh my!

Osceola Chamber/Main Street is hosting a first-ever Zombie Prom 7 to 11 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 26, at Osceola Eagles.

“It’s a Halloween dance party, costume contest,” said Derek Lumsden, executive director of Osceola Chamber/Main Street.

Osceola Chamber/Main Street is hosting a Zombie Prom this year instead of a haunted house, which has been held many previous years.

“It’s another familyfriendly, safe, Halloweentype event,” Lumsden said.

“It’s not as dangerous as what a haunted house can be. People run and get scared and fall. This is fun for all ages.”

At the Zombie Prom, there will be Halloweenthemed games, a dance SINGLE COPY PRICE: 75¢

party and costume contests with prizes. There will be contests for family and individual costumes.

The event will cost $2 for children and $3 for adults.

Adults must have a form of identification to drink alcoholic beverages.

Lumsden said one of the reasons the Zombie Prom is being held at Osceola Eagles is the venue has enough area to incorporate both “grownup” and “kids-geared” activities.

“It’s just a way for people to get out and have fun,” he said.

So, what would make a good costume for a Zombie Prom?

Lumsden said, for families, try to think of costumes that would work well for people of different ages and sizes. For couples, think of famous couples or something that comes in a pair.

“The best thing is to think outside the box,” Lumsden said.

Lumsden said he would like to see the Zombie Prom become an annual event.

“We’re going to try it for the next couple of years to see how it grows,” he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Supporting Sarah Truitt

By Carla May Osceola

I am writing this letter in support of Sarah Truitt. I have known Sarah since she and her family moved to our community.

It is so wonderful to see a young woman who is a wife, mom and friend get involved any way she can to improve our community.

I know from being a fellow alumni of Clarke Development Leadership Academy that working to help run and better the city is very important.

Sarah has taken on this responsibil-

ity to run for office and be a council member. She has been in this position and is now running for re-election.

I support her for her strong character traits that make her a great wife, mother and friend. These traits also make her very caring for the city, and caring to do the best at her position to represent the city of Osceola, and to continue working at making the city a great place to live, work and visit.

I urge all readers to also support Sarah Truitt by casting your vote for her to represent Osceola and to regain her position as Osceola City Council member.

National Domestic Violence Awareness month

By Janet Killkenny

Crisis Intervention and Advocacy Center board member Clarke County

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. Domestic abuse happens in this community.

We at Crisis Intervention and Advocacy Center serve these victims and survivors every day.

While we often see and hear national reports on the rates of domestic abuse, it is the faces of women, men and children who are our friends, family or fellow students that cause us to see the true reality of the trauma domestic abuse causes.

While we receive many ideas about domestic abuse based on myths and victim blaming, we know the reality.

Domestic abuse is wrong. No one asks to be abused. No one deserves to live in a home where they do not feel safe.

Instead of always putting the blame on the victims, we need to, as a community, hold offenders accountable and support victims.

Victims and survivors of domestic abuse need resources, empowerment

and a strong support system to gain hope and independence.

We all have a responsibility in this.

We can all help stop domestic abuse.

Notice when somebody is being victimized in public and find a safe way to intervene.

Talk about domestic abuse. There are times when those closest to us are suffering and we don’t act for many reasons.

Don’t let domestic abuse be a “family issue” or “private matter.”

As individuals, we have a lot of power. Let’s raise our standards to promote equality and respect in this community.

Our agency can answer your questions, train you to intervene, educate you on the realities of abuse and train you to volunteer. Volunteering can make such a positive impact in someone’s life.

Most of all, if you or somebody you know are suffering from domestic abuse, please call us.

Educate yourself. Help local victims by supporting Crisis Intervention and Advocacy Center. The 24hour crisis line is 1-800-400-4884.

Insurance commissioner pens open letter regarding new health exchange

By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

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

As Obamacare’s new insurance exchanges have come online on at the beginning of October, Iowa’s Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart penned an open letter to inform the general public of some expected outcomes and key points for Iowans to consider when purchasing health insurance products.

The letter discusses some of the significant changes that are now required under the law.

These include “the elimination of any consideration of a pre-existing condition for acceptance of an application for coverage, the removal of all annual and lifetime benefit maximums, the extension of coverage for children covered under a parent’s plan to age 26, and minimum essential benefit standards to be followed by all plans.”

All health plans offered must now conform to these minimum standards both for products purchased privately and for products purchased through the public health-insurance exchange.

The letter explains the different health plan levels that will be offered through the exchange as Bronze (a plan with an actuarial value of 60 percent, meaning a person would be responsible or 40 percent of all covered benefits), Silver (70 percent), Gold (80 percent), and Platinum (90 percent).

Detail is also included related to tax credits available to those that purchase a product on the insurance exchange with qualifying incomes. “Individuals from 100 percent of federal poverty level (FPL) up to 400 percent of federal poverty level ($11,490 — $45,960 for an individual and $23,550 — $94,200 for a family of four)

JOEL FRY

will qualify for tax credits.”

Commissioner Gerhart makes a special effort to point out key points that Iowans need to consider before purchasing a product through the insurance exchange. He notes: • Make sure your physician is in the network of the plan you are purchasing. Some plans in the marketplace are narrow network plans and you may need to locate a new physician if your current physician is not in the plan’s network.

• Make sure the drugs you need are covered if you require certain drugs for ongoing treatment. A qualified health plan is only required to cover one drug from each United States Pharmacopeia (USP) category. Individuals will have a right to appeal to get medically necessary drugs covered.

• Understand the costs related to your plan. Depending upon the plan you purchase, the amount you will be required to pay for deductibles and coinsurance may vary.

•Understand that you will not qualify for a tax credit if you have access to affordable minimum essential coverage through your employer. Affordable coverage is defined as 9.5 percent of your household income based upon the

single employee’s premium and coverage of 60 percent of your insurance costs.

• Tax credits are available only for plans purchased on the marketplace. You are not eligible for tax credits if you purchase insurance outside of the marketplace or if you continue on the health insurance plan you have currently.

• Failure to obtain minimum essential coverage will subject you to a penalty based on a minimum flat rate or a percentage of your income, whichever is greater.

• Medicare coverage is not impacted by these changes.

You must still enroll for Medicare or supplemental insurance during the separate open enrollment held every year for those types of coverage.

• All plans certified by the division will be available on www.healthcare.gov on Oct. 1 and will meet the definition of minimum essential coverage. The federal number to call for assistance is 800318-2596.

• Be wary of fraud. There may be more opportunities for bad actors to steal identities or promote non-existent or minimal coverage plans as qualified health plans meeting new health-plan standards.

Use a licensed agent or broker or work with a navigator.

The opening of the exchanges has been fraught with difficulties, with many encountering problems receiving information and an inability to access the marketplace website, which is being managed by the federal government.

New insurance products are set to become active as early as Jan. 1, 2014.

I continue to appreciate the opportunity to represent each of you in the Iowa House of Representatives. May you each have a blessed and safe harvest season.

QUILTS: Continued from Page 1

Hellyer said people with Alzheimer’s and dementia become emotionally attached to the touch quilts.

“It just gives them a different texture as they run their hands across,” said Casey Spoelstra with Homestead Assisted Living. “It’s something they enjoy a lot of times. … It might trigger a memory of something.”

As for the new memory-care unit, Spoelstra said construction is expected to be finished late this year or early 2014.

Helping out If people want to help with the quilting project, donations of different fabric, as well as flannel for the back of the quilts, are being accepted.

One example of fabric on the quilts is a dish towel.

Spoelstra said quilting packages are also available for people to work on. For more information, call 641342-1036 and ask for Spoelstra.

Hellyer said she has received help from other residents at Homestead Assisted Living and HCI Care Services of South-Central Iowa.

Spoelstra said there are plans for

assisted-living residents to have a sewing club on Thursdays to help with the quilts.

Between 12 and 15 quilts are currently being worked on, and Hellyer said more are expected to be finished by the time construction on the new wing is completed. Once each patient in the new unit has a “touch” quilt, the rest will be donated to other people affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Sewing pro When asked about her history of quilting and sewing, Hellyer said she has been doing it “since forever.”

“I grew up in a sewing-machine world,” she said.

Hellyer has written five books on sewing and given lectures on the subject. One book is called “Sewing Magic” and another is “Tailoring Magic.”

“I think it’s really important we help those who need something in the ‘touchy-feely,’ and, particularly, in dementia or Alzheimer’s (area),” Hellyer said. “They need something that’s theirs — that they can feel different things.”

Third-grade field day a success Wednesday, Sept. 18, marked the fifth-annual third-grade field day for all the third-graders in Clarke County.

Five classes from Clarke Community Elementary School and one class from Murray Community School District arrived on buses 10 a.m. at Clarke County Fairgrounds.

They unloaded into the show arena to organize and get ready for an educational Ag-learning day.

Seven learning stations were set up for classes to circulate to approximately every 20 minutes.

The stations included presenters from Agriland FS on growing corn and soybeans; Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatchery on turkeys; Farmers Coop on animal nutri-

tion; Clarke County Conservation/Osceola FFA on soil erosion; Jack VanLaar from Decatur County Extension on using a GPS; Murray FFA on farm equipment safety and Jennifer Pollard with Clarke County Extension/Clarke County Cattlemen on animal safety and uses of animal by products.

Every station had visual, audio and hands-on learning opportunities.

Several volunteers from Clarke County Farm Bureau Board helped set up by unloading green, small square hay bales donated by Brian Eddy. They set them in a semi-circle at each station for the students to sit on.

After visiting the seven stations, the students, teachers, chaperones, presenters

and bus drivers were treated to hamburgers grilled by the Jeff Pollard and Joe Miller with the Clarke County Cattlemen, carrots, apples from Osceola Hy-Vee and cookies from Subway. Board volunteers served the food.

Randy and Tammy Barnard did a lot of the planning and organizing. Warren Keeler, Bart Griffith, Kelly Curnes, John Carson, Harold Fuller, Tim Prunty and Leola Boyce did volunteer work in setting up, serving and cleaning up.

Walmart gave a monetary donation. Clarke County Fair Board allowed the students to use the facilities.

The third-grade teachers were Sue Body, Fran Christian, Gina Sickels, Rebecca Evans, Jennifer Swartz and Connie Flaherty.

Roll call was answered by a “Halloween Prank” experienced by each.

Ashley reported she has 35 children’s books ordered for the “Toys for Christmas” yearly project. She also had the program, and shared her

books, “Stories I Couldn’t Tell While I Was a Pastor” and “Just As Long As I’m Riding Up Front” by Bruce McIver.

A new meaning for the school ‘Bell’ Jennifer Pollard with Clarke County Extension and Clarke County Cattlemen had live animals at her station during Clarke’s third-grade field day.

Bell the cow was there for her third visit with the third-graders. Pollard discussed many of the uses of cows by having a question-and-answer game about animal by-products used in everyday items.

The students learned cow hooves are an ingredient in gelatin and glue, animal fats are used in many facial make-ups and their favorite ball glove and baseball are made with animal hides.

Pollard showed pictures of several breeds of cattle showing them a difference in their appearance and what each breed is most desired for.

At the end of each session, the students got in line to pet Bell the cow and the small bucket-fed

calf that came to the field day.

For several of the students, it was the first time they were close to a farm animal. Bell was supplied

by Clarke County Farm Bureau Board Member Harold Fuller and the bucket calf came from the Randy Barnard family farm.

Sabrina Buckingham, left, with Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatchery, shows baby turkeys to a student in Mrs. Swartz’s third-grade class.

Baby turkeys visit third-graders during field day This year at the annual third-grade field day, the students met Kelli Rice, Sabrina Buckingham and Jaime Shaw, who were representing the Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatchery, the world’s largest turkey hatchery, which is in Osceola.

The women brought in-

formation about turkeys, including baby turkeys for the students to get an opportunity to touch. They explained how eggs are candled to see if they are fertile and showed pictures of the egg turkeys hatch from.

The students learned baby turkeys are called

poults and have four toes on each foot, but many turkey growers want the dew claw removed, as well as the snood which is done by microwave machine.

A newly-hatched turkey can survive for 72 hours without food or water, and it normally takes 28 days for a fertile turkey egg to

hatch. Valley of the Moon has shipped baby turkeys to Equador and Canada, as well as many places in the United States.

Clarke County Farm Bureau appreciates the time Valley of the Moon spent helping make the third-grade field day a success.

Flu circulating in Iowa, flu shots recommended Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) urges all Iowans over 6 months of age to receive their yearly seasonal influenza vaccine.

Surveillance by IDPH influenza sentinel sites and confirmatory testing by the State Hygienic Laboratory shows the flu is circulating in Iowa. Three cases of seasonal influenza have been identified in eastern and central Iowa in the last two months; all were type A – the strain that can cause more serious illness. All the individuals are recovering and were not hospitalized.

“It’s important to note that influenza is not a ‘reportable disease’ in Iowa,” said IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “This means health care providers are not required to notify IDPH each time a patient

tests positive for influenza; thus there are probably a lot more people with the flu out in our communities.”

Influenza surveillance also gives an indication of the types of influenza viruses circulating, how sick people are getting with the flu, where outbreaks are occurring, and how widespread influenza illness is.

Vaccination is the best defense against influenza, but personal actions also help prevent the spread of illness. Remember the 3Cs: •Cover your coughs and sneezes • Clean your hands frequently • Contain germs by staying home when ill The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses.

The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness,

cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches.

Illness typically lasts two to seven days. Influenza may cause severe illness or even death in people such as the very young or very old, or those who have underlying health conditions.

IDPH conducts yearround influenza surveillance through the Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network, and

Faith Fellowship

It seems every week brings a new, horrific attack against Christians overseas.

Having lived overseas for several years, I cannot help but feel for our Christian brothers and sisters worldwide.

On Sept. 22, suicide bombers connected to the Pakistani Taliban entered All Souls Anglican Church in Peshawar during services. The resulting explosion killed 78 men, women and children. It was only the most recent attack on Pakistani Christians, who make up just two percent of the country’s population.

Apparently, even that tiny percentage is too high for some there. What’s happening in Pakistan is, in turn, part of a larger global pattern. Christians around the world are often “harassed, arrested, jailed, tortured, raped, beaten, and killed.”

Christian “churches and homes are bombed or burned to the ground.” Children are even “taken from their Christian parents lest they become too tainted with faith in Jesus.”

Yet, the vast majority of Americans, and American Christians, would be surprised to hear we’re living in what’s been called “the age of martyrs.” What’s hard to understand is the “deafening silence” on this issue, especially from American Christians.

Christians in the Middle East and Africa are being slaughtered, tortured, raped, kidnapped, beheaded and forced to flee the birthplace of Christianity. One would think this horror might be consuming the pulpits and pews of American churches. But, it is not.

In addition to the Peshawar attack, the recent attack in Nairobi, in which, according to eyewitnesses, the gunmen said “if you are Muslim you are on the safer side, but if you are Hindu or Christian you will be killed.”

There is an ominous Jihadist slogan that goes like this: “First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday.” It means “On Saturday we kill the Jews; on Sunday we kill the Christians.”

This is the world in which millions of Christians live.

Now the good news is there’s evidence of a growing appreciation for our brethren’s plight.

For instance, many American Christians opposed intervention in Syria out of concern for the possible impact on Syrian Christians.

The better news is that if we insist on keeping the issue of the persecuted church on the front burner, it can yield results.

A case in point is a recent phone call between President Obama and Iran’s new president Hassan Rouhani. During the call, the President expressed his concern over the jailing of Iranian-American pastor Saeed Abedini.

Abedini’s incarceration has been the subject of an international campaign to draw attention to his plight and secure his release. Abedini’s wife rightly called Obama’s raising of the issue an “answer to prayer.” It’s also a response to concerted efforts to ensure that her husband is not forgotten.

This is the kind of effort we must make on behalf of all our persecuted brethren. As Hebrews13 tells us, we are to remember “those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.”

That’s one reason we must be concerned about preserving religious liberty here in America. While we’re not at the point of shedding blood, Christians in this country are under enormous pressure — from government, from activist groups like the ACLU, and increasingly, from a judge’s bench — to compromise our faith. And, if the freedom to speak out is lost here, who will be left to advocate on behalf of our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world?

Do you appreciate the religious freedom our country has enjoyed for over two centuries? Then use it! Attend church this weekend.

Turnovers sink Cardinals in loss to Mount Ayr

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

LEON — Seven turnovers sunk Central Decatur’s chances of hanging with a state-ranked Mount Ayr team here on Friday, as the Cardinals fell 34-13.

Central Decatur drops to 4-3 overall and 1-3 in Class 1A District 7, making the team’s final two games of the season “must win” games in order to make the playoffs. Mount Ayr, ranked ninth by the Des Moines Register, improves to 6-1 and 3-1.

Mount Ayr picked off Central Decatur quarterback Peyton Pedersen five times in the game and also recovered two Central Decatur fumbles.

“We knew we couldn’t give up big plays, knew we had to make them drive the whole field and knew we couldn’t commit turnovers,” Central Decatur head coach Jon Pedersen said. “We gave up several big plays and had seven turnovers. That’s the game.”

Mount Ayr senior Erik Freed finished with three interceptions, while sophomore Kyle Dolecheck had two interceptions.

Those seven turnovers resulted in Mount Ayr working with a short field for much of the night.

“They had a short field the whole night,” coach Pedersen said. “Field position game, they killed us all night. We were able to get a couple of big passes, but if we’re going to beat Mount Ayr, that’s not going to be the formula that gets it done.”

Trailing 21-0 in the second quarter, Peyton Pedersen connected with Kyle Palmer for a 52-yard touchdown with 9:34 to go in the half.

But, Mount Ayr answered back with a big passing play of its own for a touchdown, as Jacob Sobotka hit Dolecheck for a 59-yard score with 3:28 remaining, making it 27-7.

“In the first half, they did what they wanted,” coach Pedersen said. “We made some adjustments at halftime and shut their run game down and felt good about where we were at, but we were already in too big of a hole.”

Dolecheck scored another touchdown to open scoring in the third quarter, as he caught a 27-yard pass from Jacob Taylor with 5:34 left, making the score 34-7.

Pedersen hit Trenton Wells on a slant play and Wells took the ball 50-yards for a score with 3:56 left in the game to make the final score 34-13.

“We had some big plays with that (passing game), but we also missed some big plays with that,” coach Pedersen said. “Same thing with our run game. We saw some places, we just didn’t take advantage of them.

On film you see it. We’ve got to be more consistent.”

“They’ve got some nice athletes,” Mount Ayr cohead coach Delwyn Showalter said. “They’re able to hurt you with their passing game. Trenton Wells is an outstanding athlete, a great receiver.

“The other one that really stands out for them

Pound for pound, he’s as good as anybody we’ve seen.”

Clarke falls to PCM

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Clarke head football coach Michael Kline told his players before the game that if they could stop the run, they’d find themselves in the football game against PCM, Monroe here on Friday.

But, the Indians couldn’t stop the PCM ground attack, as the Mustangs rushed for 325 yards and picked up a 48-7 win over Clarke.

Clarke also had to deal with the injury bug in the game, as senior quarterback and safety Dalton Sweeney played just the first 15 minutes of the game before diving for a pass and leaving the game with a shoulder injury.

Junior Morales, who has missed the past four games with a shoulder injury, reinjured the shoulder in the game. Junior Gordon Witt, one of the leaders of the Clarke defense, dealt with stomach pains and did not play in the second half of the game.

Sophomore Rich Wilkins moved into the quarterback position after Sweeney’s exit, and finished the game 4-of-14 passing for 58 yards and one touchdown. He threw three interceptions.

“With Dalton hurt, Rich played quarterback and did a pretty good job of commanding the team, other than his three turnovers,” Kline said. “If he takes care of the ball better, he will be

a good quarterback.”

Sweeney led the Indians in rushing with 29 yards, while Wilkins added 22 and Dustan Van Loon picked up 21 yards. Van Loon also caught a pass for 8 yards, scoring the lone Indian touchdown.

Gable Reece had one reception for 28 yards and Junior Morales caught one pass for 16 yards.

Defensively, Gunner Sergeant-Elben intercepted one pass, while Van Loon led the team with seven tackles.

Witt finished with six tackles before leaving the game.

Connor Spencer had one solo tackle for a loss.

Clarke returns to action Friday at Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter.

Area football North Polk 40, Interstate 35 7 TRURO — North Polk spoiled Interstate 35’s homecoming game with a 40-7 win over the Roadrunners here on Friday.

For Interstate 35, Briar Vogel finished 3-of-14 for 12 yards with one touchdown.

Vogel also carried the ball eight times for 34 yards.

Senior Alex Middleton rushed for 47 yards on 19 carries, while sophomore Zachary Irelan picked up 33 yards on four carries. Zach Goering rushed for 25 yards on five attempts and Jaylan White carried once for 18 yards.

Senior Garrett Heckman had two catches for nine yards with one touchdown. Hunter Wearmout caught one pass from Goering for 31 yards.

Defensively, Jon Young and Vogel each finished with 11 total tackles to lead the Roadrunners. Bobby Heilman racked up nine tackles, while David Kennedy added eight tackles. Lonnie Harper finished with five total tackles.

Heilman and White each recovered a fumble.

Interstate 35 falls to 0-7 overall and 0-4 in Class 2A District 6. The Roadrunners travel to Albia on Friday before hosting Clarke in the season finale next week.

MURRAY — Murray stayed in contention for second place in Eight-Man District 6 with a 51-18 victory over Colo-Nesco to close out the home portion of the regular season Friday.

Murray improved to 6-2 overall and 4-1 in district play, while Colo-Nesco fell to 2-6 and 2-4.

It was the final regular sea-

son appearance at Mustang Field for seniors Cole Weir, Tyler Cashman, Collin Titus, Alex Shaw, Sam Rockhold, Andrew Rider, George Barber and manager Dakota Matlage.

Rider surpassed 1,000 yards rushing in a season for the second time in his career. He had 1,072 yards as a sophomore and 851 last year when his season was cut short by injury.

Rider rushed for 169 yards and four touchdowns on 14 carries. Seth Nerness carried 10 times for 82 yards and two TDs. Rockhold opened the scoring with a 40-yard run.

“It wasn’t our sharpest game of the year, but we ran the ball well and the victory kept us in position to capture second place in the district,” said coach Keith Shields.

Thane Simmons mixed in 64 yards passing on 6-of-11 with no interceptions.

Leading the defensive charge was Barber with 14 total tackles, including seven for losses and a quarterback sack.

Nerness had two tackles for losses with a fumble recovery, and Rockhold had nine tackles with an interception.

“Other than one long run in the first quarter, our defense did a great job of stopping the Colo-Nesco offense in the first half,” Shields said. “They had one 58-yard run, but only had 54 yards of offense on 25 plays the rest of the half. Our run defense played well in the second half, giving up 38 yards on 21 carries.”

The Mustangs play at East Union (2-6, 1-4) this week.

CARDINALS: Continued from page 1S

the playoffs out of District 7.

The Cardinals finish the regular season with road games at Des Moines Christian (Urbandale) on Friday at at Ogden next week.

If Central Decatur wins both games, it moves to 3-3

in the district, and would have a chance to finish third in the district.

It’s simple for the Cardinals moving forward — win both games and they’re in, lose one game and they’re out.

“If you would have told us at the beginning of the year we had a chance to be 6-3 and get third in the dis-

trict, I’d have took that,” coach Pedersen said.

Des Moines Christian will finish its season with a home game against the top team in the district — Van Meter — following its game against Central Decatur. Ogden travels to Mount Ayr this week before hosting Central Decatur.
