Boldon named director of the Drake Relays

3 in running for county supervisor District 3 seat Incumbent Clarke County Supervisor Marvin McCann is facing challenges from candidates Ray Negley and Derek Lumsden for the supervisor District 3 seat.

The election is scheduled Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Ray Negley Tell me about yourself/ background.

I was born in southern Iowa and have lived here all my life.

We were married in 1978 and have three g r o w n Negley children and seven grandchildren.

I have worked many different jobs in my youth until 1980 when I started working at Metz Baking Company. After 30 years, I retired from there in January 2010.

Metz Baking Company employees were represented

by Teamster Union. While working there I became shop steward. I represented the Osceola division for 20 years, negotiating labor contracts and disputes between labor and management.

I served on the Osceola Summer Ball board for seven years and held the offices of treasurer, vice president and president in five of those seven years.

I have served on the Clarke County Republican Central Committee for 18 years, the last 12 years as chairman, and before that I served as co-chair for two years.

his role in Des Moines at the end of November after concluding work at his current job as executive director of the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in Indiana.

Boldon’s experiences as an athlete and as an event director helped lead him to a job in his home state.

“I don’t know if anybody’s prepared to step into this job and be the 12th director of an event that’s existed for 108 years,” Boldon said. “I don’t know if anyone has the up-to-the-minute preparation. I firmly believe no one is better prepared than I am and I’m excited to take the first step.”

Boldon takes over as Drake Relays director from Brian Brown. Brown, who

DES MOINES – Running sports have taken Osceola native Blake Boldon to places he could’ve only dreamed up as a student in the Clarke Community School District.

Now, he’s returning to his home state to lead one of the most prestigious sporting events in Iowa.

Boldon was named the 12th Franklin ‘Pitch’ Johnson Director of the Drake Relays Wednesday, Oct. 12 at a ceremony held at Drake University’s Shivers Basketball Practice Facility Courtside Club.

Boldon officially starts

held the spot for 12 years, left earlier this year for a job at the University of Missouri in Columbia.

Boldon looks forward to building on the work Brown did in leading the Drake Relays.

“To have the opportunity and challenge to step into the shoes that Brian Brown has left after his 12 years is exhilarating, scary and the single most thrilling opportunity of my lifetime,” Boldon said. “Brian’s professionalism, his passion for the sport and his vision for this event is unsurpassed.”

Boldon said he plans to reach out to Brown in the future.

“I look forward to working with Brian to fully understand his vision and con-

tinue it into the future.”

Returning to Iowa and becoming director of the Drake Relays wasn’t a tangible idea in Boldon’s mind until the position came open this summer.

“It would be akin to saying, ‘Did you grow up wanting to be the king of England or the president of the United States?’ Sure that’s great, but never really a tangible idea until I sat with Sandy (Drake athletic director Sandy Hatfield-Clubb), got to know this event and the community that surrounds it over the last several weeks,” Boldon said. “There’s some familiar faces, some new faces here.

I am also a deacon at First Baptist Church in Osceola.

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

My goal as supervisor will be to find out why Clarke County is the highest-taxed county in the state and still has no money, and then fix the problems that currently exist.

The skills I have developed as shop steward and central committee chairman will be a great asset to the Clarke County Board of Supervisors.

Is being the highest-taxed county in the state an honor the people really want?

Derek Lumsden Tell me about yourself/ background.

Osceola graduate wins competitive election for Drake University Student Senate seat ■

DES MOINES – Nick Johnston of Osceola is barely old enough to vote himself in the upcoming election, but when it comes to winning tightly contested senate races, he understands how to win over voters.

Johnston, 18, recently campaigned for and won a seat on the Drake University Student Senate which is reserved for a member of the incoming freshman class. The Student Senate SINGLE COPY PRICE: $1.00

is comprised of 21 senators and executive directors.

He spent three days campaigning against six other Drake freshmen and waited through two days of voting before learning he had received the most votes.

“I had someone come up to me and offer to be my campaign manager for the election. I quickly found out it is unusual (at Drake) if you don’t have a campaign manager for elections like this,” Johnston said. “A lot of people come to study politics here, so they want to get involved in the elections whether it is running for office or helping people run for office by giving strategy.”

The only problem was his total was not enough for a majority, so Johnston had to campaign for two more Contributed photo days in a runoff election.

FOR THE RECORD

POLICE REPORT James Edward Burgins, 58, of Clarksville, Tennessee, was charged with simple assault and possession of drug paraphernalia 2:05 a.m. Oct. 10 at 221 W. McLane St. Apt. 8.

According to an Osceola Police report, Burgins did strike a female victim in the face, intending to cause her pain. Burgins also had a glass pipe in his bag used to smoke methamphetamine.

Burgins pleaded guilty to the charges.

— — — — — — Michael Wayne Johnson, 43, of Van Wert was charged with trespassing, possession of burglar’s tools, controlled substance violation and possession of firearms by a felon, a class D felony, 9:51 p.m., and Margaret Joan Lynch, 47, 208 N. Third St., was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance 10:15 p.m. Oct. 10 at East Side Automotive.

According to an Osceola Police report, officers responded to East Side Automotive for a suspicious subject. The owner of the business advised the male subject was walking around the property, the business was closed and no one had permission to be on the premises.

When officers arrived they located a silver four-door Chevrolet Cavalier, bearing Iowa license plates, occupied by an adult male and adult female. While speaking with the male subject, later identified as Johnson, he said he was on the property to find a wing nut. Johnson went to East Side Automotive, 2508 N. Main St., with the intent to burglarize the vehicles in the parking lot.

Johnson was looking to steal a wing nut. Johnson was using a flashlight to look for the wing nut under the hoods of vehicles in the parking lot.

Officers charged Johnson.

The vehicle was then searched for any other burglary tools Johnson may have had in his possession. Johnson had a .223-caliber Winchester rifle round in his vehicle. Johnson has a prior felony conviction in the state of Iowa. Johnson gave permission for the owner of East Side Automotive

to drive the vehicle to Clarke County Law Enforcement Center. It was driven to the law enforcement center, parked and locked.

While speaking with the adult female, later identified as Lynch, permission was given for officers to look through her purse. While officers were looking through the purse, they located a green and black sock containing a blue glass pipe with white residue believed to be methamphetamine. At this time, Lynch was charged and transported to Clarke County Jail.

While in the garage area before entering the jail, during a pat-down procedure, officers located a key chain with a silver and blue container that contained a white powdery substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine, which appeared to be consistent with methamphetamine processed using anhydrous ammonia.

Lynch was interviewed regarding the activity and narcotics located on her person.

She said the methamphetamine located in the blue container was from Johnson and that Johnson manufactures it on a regular basis. Lynch said there were boxes of pseudoephedrine under the seat of the vehicle that were going to be used to manufacture methamphetamine. Lynch said earlier in the day both she and Johnson purchased pseudoephedrine to be used to manufacture methamphetamine and it was located in the vehicle under the seat.

Lynch said Johnson uses methamphetamine on a daily basis and manufactures it about every 10-12 days. She said the process is completed in a camper on property at 2556 Clover St. Based on the given information, a search warrant was conducted at the camper belonging to Johnson on Clover Street. During the search, warrant officers located an Ithaca M66 Super Single 12-gauge gun, Remington Fieldmaster .22-gauge LR gun and Ruger .223-caliber rifle.

Johnson was being held on $47,000 bond and Lynch was

being held on $26,000 bond.

new service provides access to Iowans who may not have health care options near their homes – access that’s more cost-effective than emergency-care options.”

Brophy, who serves as medical director of UIeCare, commissioned the survey to understand Iowans’ attitudes about receiving care at home through a computer or smart phone.

According to the survey, 90 percent of Iowans in urban areas have access to urgent care within 20 minutes of home; nearly one-third (32 percent) of Iowans in rural areas lack that access to urgent care. Iowans throughout the state expressed an appreciation of the convenience of online doctor visits.

“No one wants to leave the house when they aren’t feeling well. Iowans with sick kids or who have difficulty traveling will find the virtual-care service very beneficial,” Brophy said. “Many of the common illnesses for which people routinely visit the doctor can easily be taken care of with a virtual-care visit from the comfort of home.”

​Annual third-grade field day held This year at the annual third-grade field day, the class had Kelli Price, Jaime Shaw, Peter Kazery and Zach Mathes visit from Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatchery, the world’s largest turkey hatchery located in Osceola. These volunteers brought along information about turkeys and a speckled turkey egg and baby turkeys for the students to get an opportunity to touch and hold.

The students learned that baby turkeys are called poults. They have four toes on each foot, but many turkey growers want the dew claw removed, as well as the snood, which is done by a 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 Ecuador, China and Canada, as well as many places in the U.S. The students looked inside a temperature-controlled semi that carries baby turkeys all over the country. A semi

Survey shows virtual care could take pressure off emergency-room use for minor conditions In a recent survey asking Iowans how they receive urgent care, one in 10 respondents (9.7 percent) said they used a hospital emergency room for themselves or a child for a relatively minor condition, such as a cold or flu, earache or pink eye in the past two years.

The 2016 survey of 528 Iowans from both urban and rural areas showed that more than half (54 percent) were unfamiliar with the concept of virtual health care – care that’s delivered by computer or smart phone without an appointment.

UIeCare, one of Iowa’s first virtual care services, makes it possible for Iowans to see a UI Health Care-credentialed provider from anywhere in Iowa at any time.

Clarke County residents now have access to virtual health care through UIeCare.

“Virtual health care is making it easier and more convenient for any Iowan to visit a doctor,” said Patrick Brophy, MD, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa. “But along with making people’s lives easier, the

THURSDAY • OCTOBER 20, 2016

The UIeCare service is for minor illnesses and injuries that are urgent but not an emergency, such as bug bites, flu-like symptoms, rash, sore throat, urinary tract infections and vomiting. The service is the only one in Iowa with medical providers credentialed by University of Iowa Health Care.

A UIeCare visit costs $50.

Patients do not need health insurance and can seek reimbursement from a health savings account or insurance plan. Patients do not need to be a patient at the University of Iowa to use the service.

When they register at uiecare.com, patients answer screening questions to ensure virtual health care is appropriate. If not, a referral may be made to an emergency room or primary-care physician. After requesting care online, patients are typically contacted by a physi-

cian within 30 minutes but often in less than 15 minutes.

Prescriptions can be written if medically appropriate.

Visit information is shared with the patient’s primary-care physician, or UIeCare can connect patients with a primary-care physician in their community if they don’t have one.

Iowans who are interested in learning more or would like to visit a physician through the UIeCare virtual health-care clinic can visit uiecare.com. An internet broadband speed of 1Mbps upstream is recommended for video conferencing.

UIeCare, backed by University of Iowa Health Care, is the only virtual care service dedicated to helping Iowans throughout the state get care whenever and wherever they need it – so they can receive care without leaving their homes.

four days per week with Wednesday being their day off to clean.

The information was interesting for all ages and the third-graders enjoyed seeing and holding the baby turkeys.

EDITORIAL/NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Support for White and Kovacevich From Linda Graves Osceola

As election day is quickly approaching, I wish to publicly support Janice White for Clarke County Auditor and Rob Kovacevich for Clarke County Sheriff. I have had the opportunity to be closely associated with these two candidates while employed for many years in the Clarke County Clerk of Court Office.

I have had daily contact with both prior to my retirement and know both candidates to be hard working, honest and of the highest integrity.

Janice strives for excellence in her position as auditor and has trained her staff well. She has created an office that is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. She devotes as many hours as necessary to make certain that all the many duties of that office are perfectly executed. Janice is conscientious

and has an eye for detail. She takes pride in serving the citizens of Clarke County as their auditor. Please vote to re-elect Janice White as auditor.

I have known Rob since the day he was hired as a Clarke County Deputy Sheriff. I have witnessed him in many different scenarios that arise in the course of employment in law enforcement, and he is always professional, helpful, demonstrates empathy when needed and is quick to respond to any situation with a clear head and thoughtful calculation. Rob has been chief deputy under the experienced tutelage of Sheriff Bill Kerns and is ready to lead the Clarke County Sheriff employees, manage the Clarke County Jail, execute the multitude of tasks assigned to the sheriff and keep the citizens of Clarke County safe and secure. Please vote to elect Rob Kovacevich as Clarke County Sheriff.

Northey endorses State Rep. Joel Fry of House District 27 From Bill Northey Iowa Secretary of Agriculture

This November, the people of Clarke, Decatur, Lucas and Wayne counties will make a decision on who will best serve them in the Iowa House of Representatives.

They deserve a leader who is prepared to make tough decisions and is willing to work across the aisle to make Iowa the best place in the Midwest to live, work and raise a family.

Luckily, the people of House District 27 already have one, which is why I’m proud to support Rep. Joel Fry as he seeks re-election to the Iowa House this November.

Joel gets it. He knows that higher taxes, out-ofcontrol spending and debt threaten Iowa’s future.

Overspending, debt and an uncompetitive tax code make it tougher for families to get ahead and more difficult for small businesses to hire and expand.

That’s why as a member of the Iowa House, he’s worked to keep the state’s budget balanced, lower the tax burden on Iowa families, reduce burdensome regulations on Iowa employers and reform the state’s education system.

As your State Representative, Joel believes the government should budget the same way Iowa families and businesses do. That means living within your means and not spending one-time money to pay for ongoing expenses. These common-sense principles

have left the state in solid financial position with a healthy surplus.

As your State Representative, Joel has worked tirelessly to leave more money in the pockets of the hard-working taxpayers. He knows higher taxes threaten Iowa families’ economic security and stifle growth.

He voted to overhaul the state’s property tax system and provide substantial tax relief to all classes of property. He has also pushed for coupling and Section 179 depreciation that allows Iowans like farmers, teachers, homeowners and college students to lower their tax bills each year.

Joel has proven he is a leader and trusted voice in the Iowa House. He is currently the Republican Whip after being elected by his colleagues in 2015 and was previously elected as an Assistant House Majority Leader in 2013.

Whether it be education reform, cutting burdensome red tape for Iowa employers or leaving more money in taxpayers’ pockets, Joel has his constituents at the front of his mind whenever he makes a decision in Des Moines.

I’ve worked on a number of different issues with Joel during his time in Des Moines and have personally seen how hard he works for his district. You would be hard pressed to find another citizen legislator that represents his district as well as Joel. That’s why I hope that you’ll join me in supporting Rep. Joel Fry in the Nov. 8 general election.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

BACK IN TIME Building on the square The finest building in Osceola was the courthouse erected in 1892 at an expense of $60,000.

It was an imposing and tastefully constructed county building located in the public square.

In 1901, cellars were dug for two story blocks for business, and 1902 promised an unprecedented growth for Osceola. Osceola seemed to be just beginning to do things. Business houses and residences were in the process of construction on all sides and nearly all were of a character to add to the prestige of the town.

In just a few years, the three new churches and an opera house had been built, several business blocks put up and scores

of fine residences graced the town. R. M. Lewis built a two-story brick, 45-by-120-foot building on the northeast corner of the square. A report had been it was going to be a hotel, but Lewis later decided he had given up on that plan and would build a business block as first planned.

The entry door to the building is angled as is in some hotels and banks.

In January, Lewis was granted the privilege to build a stairway 4 feet wide on the east side of his building and also the privilege of excavating under the walk to admit light and air to his cellar, providing he maintain a 10-foot sidewalk.

In April, a petition against allowing Lewis

a stairway in the street was presented to the city council and, after due deliberation, the petition was rejected. A rail car load of pressed brick and terracotta ornaments for the building was shipped from St. Louis. In April, during construction of the block, high winds blew like a continual hurricane causing the brick layers on the Lewis block to temporarily quit.

F. M. Jamison, R. M. Lewis and son Roy partnered in the general mercantile business and opened the Jamison and Lewis store along with their buggy business.

The second floor of the building was ladies’ ready-to-wear.

There was an inside stairway

customers used to go upstairs to buy clothes.

Ada Farson ran the dress shop upstairs with Emma Duncan as seamstress, if customers wanted something made. Jess Turner ran the shoe store, Sam Monger the men’s clothing store and Rolla Glenn the grocery store in the back. There was a dry-goods department.

It was a big store. Directly behind the building to the north was Nat McNichol’s monument shop.

Improvements and the new building did show that every mechanic and workman in the city was in lively demand in 1902.

The work set money in circulation and made good times for everybody.

BOLDON:

In 2007, he became only the third Iowan to run a sub 4-minute mile. He placed second that year to American record holder Alan Webb, who ran a Drake Stadium record time of 3:51.71 that day.

“We were looking for somebody who could tell a personal story of the Drake Relays,” Hatfield-Clubb said. “Every candidate that got down to the final level was s o m e body who had a personal Hatfield-Clubb connection of some level to the the university, the community and the Drake Relays and he hit that out of the park.”

Boldon knows what it’s like to be around elite-level track and field meets and help organize them.

Boldon spent two years at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia as head cross country coach and track and field distance coach. Through that job, he helped plan and pull off the annual Penn Relays, as well as coordinated the Penn Relays Men’s Olympic Development mile.

Boldon has served as executive director of the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon for the past four years.

He’s transformed the marathon from a one-day event to a series of events Indianapolis and the surrounding suburbs have rallied around.

The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon and its other races went from the

60th largest in the country to the 20th. The growth rate was third largest nationally for a marathon and largest for the half marathon. Boldon created the Monumental Mile race in 2014, held in early June.

That event was ranked by Shape Magazine as one of the top 10 1-mile races in the country, along with Des Moines’ Grand Blue Mile race.

Boldon has worked to create wellness programs within the corporate community in Indianapolis.

He’s also worked to develop wellness programs promoting running within the Indianapolis public schools and two surrounding townships in Marion County.

I know enough that when a job comes open if there’s a blueprint in place and a foundation that’s laid, the blueprint is still the guiding map. We’ll look to 2017, a Rio rematch and continue the tremendous work and the foundation’s that’s in place,” Boldon said.

While April seems like a ways off, Boldon expects it to come quickly.

“If it’s come up fast in the past, it’s going to come up tomorrow,” Boldon said. “There’s more work than what I’m prepared to wrap my mind around.”

Boldon’s long-term vision for the relays is to move it beyond an event that’s celebrated in Des Moines and Polk County.

“If I was to set a big, hairy, audacious goal for us as a community here in Des Moines, Drake University and the Drake Relays is that it would be to take track and field and the sport of distance running to every workplace, every living room and every classroom in the state of Iowa,” Boldon said.

“The Drake Relays afford us all the opportunity to work toward that goal together. I consider myself very fortunate to play a role. I’m looking forward to 2017 and many more years to come.”

Hatfield-Clubb looks forward to seeing what Boldon can do in his new role.

“It’s the beauty of the Drake Relays is people who do this job do it with a high level of passion,” Hatfield-Clubb said. “Brian’s left a legacy here. He wants that to continue and to get better. It’s a beautiful thing.”

CONT. FROM | 1

have in common with every person is the month of April revolves around what we’re going to be doing together. Every person here believes that at its core it’s one of the best events in all the world.

That’s at my core and I’m excited to be here.”

Boldon fit the qualifications Hatfield-Clubb was looking for to fill Brown’s position.

Boldon’s personal connections to the Drake Relays fit one part of the criteria Hatfield-Clubb was looking for.

Boldon’s love of the Drake Relays started as a kid growing up in Osceola when he and his family would visit Des Moines to watch the Relays.

“I remember seeing Carl Lewis run in the snow, Michael Johnson being dropped off in a w h i t e l i m o months after winning double gold m e d a l Boldon down in Atlanta,” Boldon said. “It really captured my imagination.”

Boldon knows what it’s like to compete in Drake Stadium as a prep athlete. He won the Class 3A 1,600-meter state championship in 1998. Boldon returned to Drake Stadium and the Drake Relays as a professional several times. As a collegian at Missouri State University, he won the Drake Relays 1,500-meter race in 2003.

“WHAT he’s done in Indianapolis in just four short years is incredibly impressive.”

__

SANDY HATFIELD-CLUBB

Drake University athletic director

“What he’s done in Indianapolis in just four short years is incredibly impressive,” Hatfield-Clubb said.

“One of the things Brian and I had been talking about for the last two years is how do we bring the Drake Relays alive outside of one week a year?

Blake’s done that with the Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis.”

Boldon’s short-term vision is to continue the work Brown did with the relays.

“What are the visions for the field in 2017 and in the long run – I’m not an architect or a builder, but

Rathbun Land and Water Alliance holds Farm to Faucet Landowner Appreciation event ■

The Rathbun Land and Water Alliance recognized the 2016 Rathbun Lake Protectors Sept. 22 at their Farm to Faucet Landowner Appreciation held at Rathbun Regional Water Association’s new water treatment plant south of Moravia.

Robert and Marilyn Arndorfer of Humeston were selected to represent Clarke County for 2016 and were nominated by the Clarke County Soil and Water Conservation District.

The Rathbun Lake Protector Program annually recognizes landowners for their conservation practices – past, present, and planned – that protect Rathbun Lake.

In presenting the Arndorfer’s with the award, RLWA president and RRWA CEO, John Glenn, said the Arndorfer’s have worked with the Clarke County Soil and Water Conservation District since 1989 and has completed either a state cost shared construction project or ACP project each year from 1987 through 1999.

“The Arndorfer’s were the first Clarke County landowners to participate in the Protect Rathbun Lake Project in 2005 to build terraces and basins on their farms,” said Glenn. “That commitment continues today as the couple recently completed additional terrace work on one of their farms in April of this year. Besides the many terraces, basins, and grassed waterways they have built over the years, they also utilize no-till.”

The purpose of the Farm to Faucet Landowner Appreciation event was twofold – to highlight the soil saving and water quality protection practices installed on the farmers’ land who work with the Alliance and to give them an opportunity to tour the facility that treats the water that comes from the lake they help protect.

Nearly 600 landowners in the Rathbun Lake Watershed counties of Appanoose, Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Monroe and Wayne have worked or are working to protect Rathbun Lake through the installation of conservation practices.

In order to accommodate that many landowners, beginning with this event, Glenn said the Alliance

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Rockets spoil Indians’ senior night; Clarke ends season Friday at PCM

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@ osceolaiowa.com

OSCEOLA — Clarke’s seniors solemnly walked across the football field after Friday’s game.

When they completed their 100-yard walk from the south endzone to the north endzone, they embraced their teammates and coaches, who were waiting there to comfort them.

Seniors Gabe Crawford and Brandyne Olin gave impassioned speeches to the team, thanking them for their hard work this season. They talked about their love for the team and what it meant to be a Clarke Indian.

Clarke’s senior night did not go according to plan as Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont came away with a 34-20 win.

The seniors’ emotion showed how much their final home game meant to them.

“They wanted it pretty bad,” said Clarke assistant coach Aaron O’Tool. “They didn’t have the outcome they wanted.”

E-B-F’s defense flustered Clarke’s offense into four turnovers.

The last time the Indians had that many turnovers, they fell in

the season-opener at Saydel.

The result was similar Friday.

“We had opportunities,” O’Tool said. “We just didn’t take care of the ball. We’ve got to take care of the ball.”

Nathan Bair rushed for 80 yards on 17 carries with one touchdown.

Garrett Moore ran for 62 yards on seven carries before having to leave the game with a concussion.

Olin caught five passes for 65 yards and one touchdown. Crawford caught four passes for 39 yards. Like Moore, he had to later leave the game with a concussion.

Payton Winship filled in admirably for both. He rushed for 45 yards on four carries and caught two passes for 31 yards and one touchdown.

The Indian defense had trouble slowing down Rocket quarterback Trey Moore. Out of the base pistol formation, Moore repeatedly gashed the Indian defenders for big chunks of yards.

“They wanted it more offensively,” O’Tool said. “We were set up in position. We were dropping to our knees to make tackles. Up front, we were getting beat. It was not the outcome we were looking for defensively.”

E-B-F jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first half.

Clarke’s early deficit was similar to recent weeks.

“It’s re-occuring,” O’Tool said.

“We’ve got to get past that.”

Clarke did make a furious comeback, and took a 20-14 lead late in the third quarter.

Unlike against Albia or Central Lee, the Indians couldn’t complete a comeback. The Rockets scored 20 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to pull away.

The Indians’ preparation for the Rockets was not what Clarke needed. O’Tool noted 15 players sat out part or all of Tuesday’s practice with various ailments.

“You’re not going to get anywhere with short practice weeks,” O’Tool said. “We were the better team. They wanted more offensively. Defensively, they made plays.”

Clarke’s defense was led by Jon Bair’s 17 tackles. Nathan Bair had 11 tackles. Trey Diawara had 10 tackles. Olin had nine tackles, while Jon Echeveste, Moore and Andy Hurtado each had eight tackles.

UP NEXT — Clarke (3-5, 3-3) closes out the regular season at Class 2A seventh-ranked PCM. The Mustangs (7-1, 6-0) defeated Davis County 50-8.

“We’re going to have to have

the best week of practice we’ve had,” O’Tool said. “They run a similar offense to Eddyville. They

have some bigger guys, some athletes on their side.”

Falcons’ ground game runs past Mustangs

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

MURRAY — A beatup Murray football team had no answer for Wayne’s rushing attack during Friday’s Eight-player District 6 game.

The Falcons rushed for 352 yards and eight touchdowns leading to a 78-14 victory.

The Mustangs were already without a couple of starters because of injury and a couple more went down with injuries during the game.

Trevor Wilson led the Falcons with 220 yards and five touchdowns. Chase Keifer had 83 yards on 12 carries and one touchdown. Keifer

passed for 41 yards and one touchdown.

Wayne jumped out to a 20-0 lead.

Murray cut into it on a Zane Black 2-yard touchdown run. Black’s pass to Bryce Keller for the twopoint conversion cut the lead to 20-8.

Wayne scored two unanswered touchdowns, both from Wilson. The first came on a 71-yard kickoff return and the other on an 8-yard run. The Falcons led 36-8 at halftime.

Murray struck first in the third quarter when Black connected with Jack Jones on a 54-yard pass to cut the lead to 36-14.

Solid overall game leads Roadrunners to win in home finale

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@ osceolaiowa.com

TRURO — Interstate 35’s offense faced an intense defensive push from the Woodward Academy defense during Friday’s Class 1A District 5 home finale.

Once the Roadrunners started picking up the blitzing defenders on a regular basis, Interstate 35 was able to find room to run and time to pass.

Both the ground and air worked effectively for Interstate 35 as it cruised to a 47-6 win.

“It was a good night for the offense,” said Interstate 35 coach Mike Stuart. “Give the offensive line a lot of credit. They were blitzing, blitzing and blitzing some

more. Once we settled down, picked our eyes up, we picked up the blitz real well.”

Mason Cassady had an effective night rushing. He finished with 100 yards and four touchdowns on 19 carries.

“Mason ran the ball real well,” Stuart said. “He was one step away from breaking some huge runs. He put his head down and ran well. He took what what was there.

He didn’t force anything. He was patient. He did a nice job.”

Quarterback Brayden Egli was an efficient 14-of-23 for 182 yards and two touchdowns.

Richie Griglione caught four

passes for 69 yards. Austin Beener caught three passes for 33 yards.

Cassady was on the receiving end of two passes for 33 yards. Tanner Daniels caught two passes for 27 yards and one touchdown. Grant Richardson caught two passes for 14 yards and one score.

Carter Bussanmas kicked five extra points.

Interstate 35 had a number of long scoring drives.

“We stuck with our game plan, took what they gave us and marched right down the field,” Stuart said.

The revitalized offensive line had one of its better games this

season, even amongst the pressure brought by Woodward Academy.

“We’ve been healthy the past two weeks,” Stuart said. “The guys played every play. Once we calmed down, got our eyes up, they played well.”

The Roadrunner defense stymied the Knights offense. Interstate 35 picked off three passes, with Beener, Daniels and Griglione each intercepting a pass.

“We didn’t give up the huge play,” Stuart said. “When they scored, the kids didn’t get rattled.

They stayed calm, stuck with the game plan.”

Dante Arzani had four solo tackles and four assists to lead the defense. Beener had four solos and two assists. Egli and Spencer

Pontolilo each had had three solos. Joey Bregar had one solo and six assists.

UP NEXT — Interstate 35 (5-3, 3-3) closes out the season at Mount Ayr. The Raiders (5-3, 3-3) defeated Des Moines Christian 49-28.

Both teams are tied for third in the district.

“They’re going to be tough, they traditionally are,” Stuart said.

“We’ll be at their place. That’s a huge fight for third place in the district.”

Friday’s game will be the final one for seven seniors.

“I can’t say enough about the leadership the seniors have shown,” Stuart said. “There’s only seven of them, but they’re there every day working their tails off.”

Boldon’s homecoming a proud moment for family, community DES MOINES – Sitting in the front row of the Courtside Club of Drake University’s Shrivers Basketball Practice Facility was a number of Blake Boldon’s friends, family and community members from Osceola.

They made the trip up to Des Moines to see a native son as he announced his return to Iowa.

Those gathered beamed about what the opportunity meant for Osceola native Blake Boldon.

Boldon was named as the 12th Director of the Drake Relays at a press conference last week.

Boldon officially starts his role at the end of November.

He takes over for Brian Brown, who left in August for a role within the University of Missouri athletic department in Columbia, Missouri.

Former teacher and track and field coach Neil Goos has known Boldon since he was a young boy.

He’s seen Boldon grow up and

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg sports editor

develop into the person Boldon is today.

“He was a very good competitor,” Goos said. “He did a lot of things with a lot of passion, lot of patience and a lot of hard work and respect.”

Former Clarke Superintendent Steve Waterman watched Boldon come along through school, church and with his own son.

“Blake was one of those outstanding kids going through school,” Waterman said.

Osceola can be proud to see one of its native sons grow up and do outstanding things.

Cresta, Roadrunner boys race to top finish at Pride of Iowa meet

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

MOUNT AYR — Interstate 35 cross country coach Desman Oakley gave Dominic Cresta a simple mission at last Tuesday’s Pride of Iowa cross country meet.

Cresta accomplished the goal Oakley set out for him in placing second individually.

Nodaway Valley’s Shane Breheny won his third straight Pride of Iowa championship in a time of 17 minutes, 24 seconds.

Cresta was second in 17:38. “We just told him there was nothing to lose,� Oakley said. “You may as well go out and win it.�

Cresta stayed within striking distance of Nodaway Valley’s ace through most of the race. “He started out really strong,� Oakley said. “We’ve been working with him on the middle part of his race. That was a little slow, but he finished really well.�

Cresta’s push late helped him outlast Nodaway Valley’s Brycen Wallace for seocnd. “He usually doesn’t have a kick,� Oakley said. “He was able to outlast Brycen.�

Cresta’s confidence continues to grow heading into Thursday’s State Qualifying Meet in Atlantic. “He doesn’t have a confidence problem,� Oakley said.

Cresta’s determination to

“Any community is proud to see their young people be a success in whatever it is,�

Waterman said. “It doesn’t have to be a job in a university. It could be a job anywhere. There’s a lot of pride in communities in Iowa as elsewhere. “We’ve got a lot of people thrilled about this.�

Waterman credits the people of Osceola and the Clarke school district for helping mold Boldon. “There’s been a lot of people who’ve put a lot of work in, our community,� Waterman said. “This is one person

improve shows in practice. “He comes to practice every day ready to work,�

Oakley said. “He’s a real worker. He approaches life that way. He doesn’t seem to get too upset, too overly worried about too many things.�

Zach Goering was second across the line in 12th place. Nathan Phillips was 14th and Tre Jackson was 18th.

The top 20 in both the girls and boys races earned all-conference honors. “Placing four in the top 20 is a successful meet,�

Oakley said.

The Roadrunners placed second as a team. Nodaway Valley, the top-ranked team in Class 1A, won with 19 points. Interstate 35 had 72 points. Mount Ayr was third with 102 points.

Finding ways to motivate the team knowing that Nodaway Valley was a prohibitive favorite made it a challenge for Oakley.

The Roadrunners found a way to take second. “As a coach, it’s hard to coach a team for second, but when you have such a juggernaut like that, what can you do?� Oakley said. “We were comfortable with second place.�

Central Decatur placed sixth as a team with 152 points. Nick Bishop led the Cardinals with a 17th-place finish. Jordan Mitchell placed 26th.

On the girls side, the Roadrunners placed fifth as a team with 84 points. East Union was the champion

with 48 points.

Mount Ayr was second with 75 points. Southwest Valley was third with 78 points. Pleasantville was fourth with 84 points, edging Interstate 35 on the tiebreaker. “I was thinking the girls could’ve got second,� Oakley said. “We ran well, but Mount Ayr and Southwest Valley were just really ready. They were primed and ready to go.�

Lizzy Parish and Sky Delzell led the Roadrunners, placing 11th and 12th respectively. “Lizzy and Sky have been flirting with the top 15.�

Central Decatur was led

by Lauren Sexton’s 18thplace finish. The Cardinals placed sixth with 139 points.

UP NEXT — Both the Interstate 35 girls and boys will have their seasons on the line today when they travel to Atlantic for the Class 2A State Qualifying Meet at the Atlantic Golf and Country Club.

The Class 2A girls race starts at 3 p.m., with the boys to follow at approximately 3:30 p.m.

There’s high hopes for Cresta and the Roadrunner boys. “We’d like to say we have a shot at making it as a team,� Oakley said. “We see ourselves in the top seven. There will be five teams battling for second. South Hamilton and Shenandoah are raked. We’ll have to see if we can beat Ogden, Woodward Academy and Des Moines Christian.

that can be a shining star.�

The community can be excited for its native son and what he’s doing with his life.

Boldon’s career, from being a Missouri Valley Conference champion runner at Missouri State, to a coach at Iowa State and Penn, from successfully running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon to his new role as director of the Drake Relays can serve as an inspiration to young people in Osceola and within Clarke schools to reach for their dreams. “You can see what you can be,� Goos said. “There’s going to be some people who latch onto that probably and think there’s no limit to what I can be.�

Boldon’s family beamed at Blake’s new role. “It’s an honor for me,� said father Mike. “I’m proud of him.�

His former coach knows Boldon can and do well in his new job. “Hopefully he’s going to be successful and he’s going to be.�

“We’ve seen them. We’re on par with them.�

Cresta will look to qualify individually. “Dominic hasn’t finished below the top five all year,�

Oakley said. “His chances are looking good.�

Parish and Delzell will be in the hunt for an individual spot on the girls race. The Roadrunners will also be in the mix as a team in a loaded field.

Both teams are ready for their tests. “We’re looking forward to seeing if we can put things together,� Oakley said. “If we don’t, I want to see if we’re mature enough to handle the disappointment.�

THURSDAY • OCTOBER 20, 2016

ELECTION: CONT. FROM | 1

Moines Area Community College, followed by a stint at Iowa Western Community College in student affairs.

During that time, I also worked in marketing, advertising, small business retail and business consultation. For the last six years, I have worked in downtown economic development, event planning, organizational structure and fundraising, historic preservation and volunteer management.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, sons and friends. I’m an avid reader and hiker, and I enjoy volunteering.

Why are you running for this position?

I’m running for office because I believe I can fill a desperate need for our county to have a younger generation of leadership.

We are growing quickly, and I believe I have many skills with my background and education that would benefit the board and Clarke County.

With my background in tourism, as well as in economic development, particularly with small business development, I know that I can think creatively to bring new direction and opportunities to the area to help keep us vital, relevant and competitive.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

My past and current positions have given me experience working with a number of people with diverse economic, social

and cultural backgrounds, which is so important in Clarke County as we have a wide spectrum of individuals with varied backgrounds that have to work cohesively to improve our community.

I have also worked with local, state and federal governments throughout the years, and I have proven myself as a successful grant writer. As a father to three young boys, I want to be a strong voice for young families moving to the community and nurture a high quality of life while protecting our rich history and traditions through economic revitalization.

I believe a strong work ethic that follows projects from start to finish, and I have a knack for finding the common threads between opposing viewpoints to encourage compromise.

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

A. I want to see the county focus on sustainable infrastructure goals. While Clarke County needs new projects to continue supporting our citizens, we need to stop taking on new infrastructure without setting aside the money to care for it in the future.

B. I want to see the county reallocate the funding stream received from the casino from general fund to specific, earmarked projects. I feel these funds can be better utilized with sharp, clear goals that will increase our quality of life rather than supporting the status quo.

C. As a father to young children, I know how important quality, affordable child-care options are to

NEWS the growth of our community, so I want to see the county work with The Village (Early Childhood Center), city, and CCDC to develop and implement a long-term plan for the successful operation of The Village, including seeing a board member on The Village board from each partner.

D. I would like to see the board approach their committee appointments more strategically in the future. I feel we are missing a strong opportunity to place citizens with specific skill sets onto boards where they could advance the mission and goals of Clarke County in fields where they excel instead of merely filling seats.

E. I want to see the county create a strategic plan to move forward local initiatives, create a strong set of future goals and to make county government offices and officials more accessible to the working citizen.

Marvin McCann Tell me about yourself/ background.

I was born and raised in Clarke County and lived in the rural area of the county most of my life while growing up. After g r a d u a t - McCann ing from Clarke, I went on to earn my degree at Northeast Missouri State University, returned to Osceola and taught industrial education at Clarke for 39 years.

My wife, Kayleen, who teaches physical education,

and I own several properties locally, which we rent to individuals, families and businesses. My daughters, Kalli and Kylar, both graduated from Grand View University in Des Moines.

I was elected to the office of county supervisor in November 2012 and began my term in January 2013.

Why are you running for this position?

I have thoroughly enjoyed my first term as county supervisor and want to continue to serve the residents of Clarke County by meeting challenges that arise and making improvements. Currently, we as supervisors work well together and have strived to make a considerable number of improvements in the county.

We have improved the mental and public-health systems, enhanced the buildings and grounds, as well as the county parks.

Advancements have been made in technology and in the internet and phone system. Lighting systems have been upgraded with LED lights, and the courthouse security has been enforced with the addition of a sheriff’s deputy and an upgraded camera system.

Additions have been made to the secondary roads department with equipment and personnel to help maintain road operations, and there has been an improvement in communications with each of the county departments, organizations, boards and cities within this county.

Considering all that we have accomplished so far, I look forward to working with the other supervisors in maintaining what has

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

thus far been developed and look forward to even greater things that will come our way during this upcoming term.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

My background in all the areas of education, property ownership and running a business, combined with the tremendous amount of experience, knowledge and understanding I have acquired during the past four years as a Clarke County supervisor makes me the best-qualified candidate for the job.

I have proven that I can be a strong leader, effective communicator and have the ability to work with others in all sorts of situations. This job requires a large amount of time, much of which is actually out of the office.

I have been able and willing to commit that time and will continue to do so in my second term as your county

supervisor.

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

Goals are achievements toward which effort is directed. My main goal is to continue to serve the residents of Clarke County and to continue to make improvements.

It takes the ability to work well with other people, departments, cities, boards and organizations to successfully meet new challenges. I feel that I have the ability and have proven it.

Simply, I want to continue to do what is best for the people of Clarke County.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38) So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9) These were the Scriptures that were printed on the front of the worship programs that Sunday morning. As the children came forward during worship for their message time, one of the “grandpas” of the congregation came, too. He settled himself in the “storyteller’s rocking chair” at the front of the sanctuary, and the children gathered around him.

Before he even finished drawing a breath to speak, a little girl named Elizabeth spoke up. She was SO excited! “My daddy’s a farmer like you, Grandpa Bert, and I KNOW what this is all about!”

“OK, sweetie,” Bert said, “So what’s it all about?”

Elizabeth stood up and looked Bert right in the eye. “Well, it means that God never gives up, and we shouldn’t either. ‘Cause if we plant what God wants us to plant, we’ll always have good things to harvest, even when we’re really sad or scared or anything like that. Oh, and another thing – God made us, so we’re His workers, and God makes it so if we want to, we can harvest great stuff ALL the time. Isn’t that amazing? Oh, and my daddy’s a farmer, too, and God helps him grow all kinds of great things, like ME!” So why are the “laborers” so “few?” Could it be that we choose to plant, cultivate and harvest far more earthly, temporary crops than the amazing eternal ones God plans for us?

WE are the “laborers” (workers/harvesters) God sends into His field (the world) to harvest God’s eternal yield of grace, peace, joy and LIFE. But, all too often we choose to set our eyes on our own, very temporary crops. When we do, when we refuse to prioritize God’s crops, we die. It’s as simple, and sad, as that. When we say ‘yes’ to God’s call to plant, cultivate, and harvest His crops, that harvest never ends – and our lives will never end either.

Elizabeth was so right that morning. We are God’s children.

When we choose to plant, cultivate and harvest His crops, God grows us too. Isn’t that simply amazing?

Plant. Plant new Scripture knowledge, new prayer experiences, new discipleship activities in your life.

Cultivate. Tend your spiritual life carefully and thoroughly. Read Scripture. Learn and discuss it with other disciples of Christ. Pray (talk with God) regularly – set time aside, and follow through. Step out to serve as the Lord’s hands and feet. Do it often; it will become a joyful habit. You will grow stronger, more joyful and fuller of true LIFE than you ever imagined!

Harvest. Continually. Listen to Elizabeth’s words about this again, “God made us, so we’re His workers, and God makes it so if we want to, we can harvest great stuff ALL the time. Isn’t that amazing?”

IF we want to. I do. Do you? Really? The Lord is waiting and watching. Are we His “laborers,” or someone else’s?

Osceola Police and Clarke County Sheriff host Take Back event for unwanted prescription drugs The event will be Oct. 22 at Clarke County Law Enforcement Center and Osceola Hy-Vee. ■

Osceola Police Department, Clarke County Sheriff’s Office and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft

by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 22 at Clarke County Law Enforcement Center, 220 Townline Road, or Osceola Hy-Vee, 510 W. McLane St. The DEA cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps, only pills and patches. The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.

Studies show a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from

family and friends, as well as the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards.

In April, Americans turned in 447 tons, or more than 893,000 pounds, of prescription drugs at almost 5,400 sites operated

by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law-enforcement partners.

Overall, in its 11 previous Take Back events, the DEA and its partners have taken in more than 6.4 million pounds — about 3,200 tons — of pills.

Additionally, the police department and sheriff’s office have purchased a drop box which is permanently located in the lobby of the law enforcement center.
