Where does soccer stand?

Clarke continues to look into starting soccer program

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Soccer ideas are continuing to be kicked around.

During an Oct. 14 Clarke School Board meeting, Clarke Activities Director Ryan Sweeney said the school board had previously asked him to look into what it would take for Clarke to start a highschool soccer program.

Sweeney said he was in communication with Clarke’s former activities director Mike Egbert who had also discussed starting a soccer program within the district. In the past months, Egbert had been communicating with other school districts to gather more information.

“He didn’t have any hard data on student interest,” Sweeney said. “He said that’s where he was going next — to get a survey. I guess that will be my next step is to get an interest level.”

Nonrevenue Sweeney said he talked to other school officials

within Clarke’s conference.

Officials told Sweeney their schools lose between $400 and $450 per soccer event.

Another concern Sweeney came across was the field used for soccer matches never gets a break between sports seasons. He said it creates injury issues.

It was mentioned Sweeney should talk to officials with Osceola Parks and Recreation about sharing field maintenance.

“I think Tim and Dan (with parks and recreation) are pretty flexible,” Sweeney said. “In my conversations with them, they will have a nice working rela-

tionship because we use their facilities, and they use our facilities.”

Club sport During the meeting, there was also talk about starting a soccer program as a club sport, similar to how Clarke’s bowling and rugby high-school programs were started.

Soccer is a spring sport, as is track, tennis, golf and rugby.

Cry fowl Possible urban-chicken ordinance draws public ire

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

A possible urban-chicken ordinance for the city of Osceola might ruffle a few feathers.

Osceola City Council has discussed creating an ordinance, which would allow people to keep chickens inside city limits.

During an Oct. 15 Osceola City Council meeting, Dan Hooper of Osceola addressed the council during its public forum to discuss a possible urban-chicken ordinance.

“Is it going to stop with chickens or are we going to have somebody that wants goats to milk? Well, it could come down the road,” he said.

Hooper said he was concerned with more potential livestock issues that could come in the future.

In Osceola, there is a city code regarding livestock.

Part of the code says it is unlawful for a person to keep livestock, which includes chickens, within the city limits, except by written consent of the council.

Mayor Fred Diehl said chickens are allowed in Des

Moines, and Councilwoman Sarah Truitt added Des Moines doesn’t allow goats in the city limits.

Iowa City’s ordinance City Administrator/Clerk Ty Wheeler said a good urban-chicken ordinance to study would be Iowa City’s ordinance.

In the Iowa City’s Division of Animal Services’ urban-chicken permit application, it states no roosters are allowed and the maximum number of hens is four Please see URBAN CHICKENS, Page 4

Filing an urban-chicken permit in Iowa City These are the rules people must comply with when filling an application for Iowa City’s urban-chicken permit.

1) I have read the Iowa City Urban Chicken Policy and understand the requirements for keeping chickens.

2) I am aware that owners of all adjacent properties (i.e., all properties that contact each other at any point) must give their written consent for any urban chicken permit application to be approved.

3) I am aware that I first must receive approval from the city prior to obtaining chickens.

Please see FILING, Page 4

Complying with Iowa City’s urban-chicken ordinance Iowa City’s urban-chicken ordinance states: • No person shall raise, harbor or keep chickens without an urban-chicken permit, or other permit, issued by the city.

• “Chicken” means a member of the subspecies of gallus gallus domesticus, a domesticated chicken.

• In order to obtain an urban-chicken permit, an applicant must submit a completed application on a form provided by the city accompanied by the permit fee.

• Within 30 days of submission of the application, the police chief, or designee, shall OST photo by AMY HANSEN

CLUB NEWS CARSPA met Monday, Oct. 14, at Osceola Senior Center with 15 members present and one guest.

President Dotti VanWerden opened the meeting with a humorous reading, “I Love This Doctor.”

Hostesses Effie Crawford and Leota Broyles served coffee to the members. Jeri Lytton accompanied the group with the singing of “Grace.”

Guest speaker was Clarke Community School Superintendent Benita Gonzales.

She gave a report of the programs and innovations in the district.

Gonzales said the school is one of the few districts that has an increasing enrollment. In five years, Clarke has grown from 1,047 to 1,462 students.

Linda Foland reported on the IRSPA state meeting she attended in Dubuque Oct. 2 and 3. She said the total district volunteer hours in terms of cash would equal $7,661,524.86 for 6,150 members reporting their yearly hours for their communities.

—————— Osceola Women’s Club met Monday, Oct. 14, at Osceola Senior Center with Jeri Lytton presiding. There were 18 members present and one guest.

The meeting followed the noon lunch at the meal site.

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited and the group, accompanied by Jeri Lytton, sang, “Lead On, O’, King Eternal.”

Marilyn Fluckey spoke to the group about her

“Jam Sessions,” which are held the first Sunday of the month from March through November at the Eagles Lodge. Fluckey and her husband Bob met at a dance and have enjoyed dancing through the years. She wanted to have something for people to do on a Sunday afternoon, which can sometimes be a long day for them.

After a period of time, the performers volunteering to play dwindled down and it became necessary for Fluckey to form a more permanent group who would play instruments. Now the Jam Session is called, “Marilyn’s Country Wide Band.”

There is a good attendance and people come to enjoy the band, singers, dancing and fellowship for the past six to seven years.

Marilyn McBroom gave the devotions with a “Columbus-Day” theme and recognized other explorers who first came to the new world for the purpose of trade, and also to spread Christianity.

Correspondent Doris Kentner reported she sent three cards — two for “get well” and one for “sympathy.”

A book will be purchased for member Josie Blain for the Osceola Library in her memory.

Wanda Gorsline reported her concern that cookbook sales have dropped quite a bit in the last year.

A reminder that the club will meet one week earlier in November because of Veteran’s Day.

IDPH doubles nicotine replacement therapy offer Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) is announcing an expansion of the free nicotine replacement program launched earlier this year for Iowans who enroll in Quitline Iowa.

Beginning Oct. 23, any participant who enrolls in the no-cost program could be eligible for twice as much nicotine replacement therapy — eight weeks instead of four weeks.

“We believe this change offers Iowans who need help quitting smoking or using smokeless tobacco a greater incentive to enroll in Quitline Iowa,” said IDPH Director, Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. “The longer an individual has access to NRT, the more likely they are to stay tobacco free. It’s hoped that by expanding access to nicotine replacement patches, lozenges or gum, those struggling with withdrawal symptoms will be more likely to succeed in quitting for good.”

Iowans can take advantage of the program by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1800-784-8669), or visiting

www.quitnow.net/iowa to enroll. The program offers access to a trained Quit Coach® who will help develop a quitting plan and determine which NRT offering is best for each individual.

Services include: • Preparing participants for their quit date • Helping develop an individualized Quitting Plan • Providing tips and support to live in a smokefree environment • Offering advice and information on medications that may help with withdrawal symptoms Registration specialists and Quit Coaches® are available 24 hours a day.

Medicare drug plan changes coming in 2014 Don’t miss the Medicare annual open enrollment period for Part D drug plans, which began Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7.

“With all the interest and activity around the new Health Insurance Marketplace this fall, we don’t want Iowans on Medicare to miss the Medicare annual open enrollment period,” said Kris Gross from the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP).

In 2014, Iowa will have 29 stand-alone drug plans, three less than 2013. Even the plans that continue from 2014 may have changed their premium, deductibles and co-payments, so comparing plans is critical for everyone.

Five new plans were added and six plans changed names. Seven plans show reduced premiums and 16 plans have increases. The lowest premium will be $12.60 per month.

The Part D deductible for 2014 will be $310, down from $325 in 2013. The amount you have to spend out of your pocket to get out of the donut hole is going down $200 to $4,550.

Once again in 2014, drug manufacturers will provide a 50 percent discount on covered brand name drugs in the gap and the plan will provide a 2.5 percent discount so your cost for brand name drugs will be 47.5 percent of the drug’s full cost.

The amount you will pay for generics in the gap will be reduced from 79 percent to 72 percent. These discounts will increase each year until 2020, when the gap will no longer exist.

Some plans which are not available in 2014 are transferring members into another plan with the same company for next year. These individuals have been notified via the Annual Notice of Change.

If your plan is not transferring you into another plan you are considered to be in a non-renewing plan.

You should have received a plan termination letter by Oct. 2. You get additional

time to choose a Part D plan through February 2014.

Choosing a plan by Dec. 31, however, assures coverage for Jan. 1. Read all information you receive carefully.

On Oct. 8 Medicare announced the plans that receive their highest rating of five starts. They will also identify the “low performing plans.” These are plans that have had a rating below three stars for three consecutive years. Medicare rates plans from five (highest) to one (lowest) star.

The other important changes you need to be aware of are found on the Medicare website. This is the only place where you can find out which of the 29 plans cover the prescription drugs you are taking, what your co-payments will be, restrictions on drugs you’re taking and an estimate of your total costs for 2014.

Go to www.medicare. gov and do a comparison of 2014 Medicare drug plans.

SHIIP has step-by-step instructions for doing a comparison of plans on its website www.therightcalliowa.gov. Go to the “Find Health & Drug Plans” section.

If you don’t use a computer, SHIIP can do a comparison for you. SHIIP is a free, confidential service of the State of Iowa Insurance Division with counselors available across the state to help you compare Medicare drug plans.

For the SHIIP site nearest you call 1-800-351-4664 (TTY 1-800-735-2942) or go to www.therightcalliowa. gov.

Should you choose to change plans or enroll in a plan if you missed an earlier deadline, you must enroll in the new plan between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7.

SHIIP counselors can assist you with the enrollment. If you’re happy with the plan you have and what it’s offering next year you don’t need to do a thing.

Your enrollment will continue into next year.

Tesia Posekany participates in student panel with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice STORM LAKE – Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State, participated in a questionand-answer program with a student panel at Buena Vista University on Saturday, Oct. 12, as part of the 21st William W. Siebens American Heritage Lecture Series.

Among the panelists was Tesia Posekany, a senior Biology major from Woodburn. While at BVU, Posekany has been involved in BV Buddies, a mentoring organization, and the science club. She has also worked as a tutor in the Center for Academic Excellence and as an academic assistant in the School of Science.

Posekany is a member of the honors program, is a dean’s fellow and has regularly been named to the dean’s list. She has also received two National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) fellowships.

Dr. Rice, who served as the 66th Secretary of State of the United States from January 2005 to 2009, was on the BVU campus as the laureate for the 21st William W. Siebens American Heritage Lecture Series.

The panelists worked with BVU faculty men-

tors to develop questions for Dr. Rice. Faculty mentors included Dr. Swasti Bhattacharyya, associate professor of philosophy and religion; Dr. Thomas Bonagura, assistant professor of biology; Dr. Jeremy Horpedahl, assistant professor of economics; and session moderator, Professor Jamii Claiborne, associate professor of digital media.

The question-and-answer session was held in the Schaller Memorial Chapel at Buena Vista University and attended by nearly 800 students, faculty and staff.

Following the student afternoon-panel session with Dr. Rice, BVU announced the results of its capital campaign “See Tomorrow: The Campaign for Buena Vista University,” the most ambitious fundraising effort in BVU’s history. The campaign raised above the $27.5 million goal set forth during the campaign launch in 2011, with a final total of $30,059,697 contributed by 5,656 donors.

The funds raised during the BVU capital campaign will be invested in students, faculty, campus and the annual fund, which supports all aspects of student life inside and outside the classroom.

Education spending in Iowa a model for the nation

Sarah Truitt for city council

By Steve Waterman Osceola

This letter is addressed to my neighbors in Osceola, 2nd Ward.

The past three years, our ward, as well as our city, has benefitted from the leadership and representation of Sarah Truitt. She has brought a fresh voice and perspective to local government.

When talking to Sarah, you soon realize she stands for fairness and justice. She listens to concerns of citi-

Rep. Joel Fry

zens. She does her homework in preparing for city council meetings. She has an eye on the future, as indicated by her support of the new Osceola comprehensive plan.

We are fortunate to have a mother of young children who is willing and able to volunteer her time in service to our city.

Friends in the 2nd Ward, please join me in supporting Sarah Truitt in the Nov. 5 election, either on election day or by absentee ballot through the office of the county auditor.

Board member Larry O’Tool agreed other sports might lose a handful of students to soccer, however, a new soccer program might influence other students to join a sport.

“I think we’re going to draw in more who aren’t doing anything. ...

Maybe soccer is their sport and that’s

what they want to play. I know kids who travel to Des Moines to play up there,” O’Tool said.

Sweeney said he had more information to research, but he is concerned soccer is a nonrevenue sport, and Clarke has several of those in the spring.

“I’m all for opportunities, but at the same time, I think we’ve got to be financially responsible, as well,” he said.

If you were convinced that the ceiling was falling in on education spending in Iowa over the past several years, it’s not surprising, given the rhetoric that has been passed around in debate.

A new report released in September proved it is Iowa that is the example for other states.

The report titled “NO RECOVERY HERE” found that most states’ funding for schools is less than before the 2008 recession.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’ report stated at least 34 states are providing less funding per student for the 2013-14 school year than they did before the recession hit, with 13 of these states have cut per-student funding by more than 10 percent.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, per-pupil spending grew in 14 states, but only two states posted an increase of more than 10 percent. Those two states? North Dakota and Iowa.

JOEL FRY

Iowa is second in the nation for providing post-recession dollars to education. House Republicans have worked with the Senate Democrats and Gov. Terry Branstad to provide increases in state funding every year.

In addition to the regular school-aid increases, the House also supported this year an education reform package meant to increase career-ladder options for teachers and provide unprecedented support for teachers while putting nearly $200 million more dollars into the education sys-

tem for hiring new teachers, increasing teacher pay, providing stipends for leader teachers and creating new opportunities for students.

The House values the education system in this state, from pre-k—12 through our higher education system. Iowa kids deserve the best education possible.

Aside from providing an education reform proposal that will truly elevate our education system, the House has backed up those efforts with funding that will do the job, while still providing an overall budget that adheres to our principles and is sustainable moving forward. Republicans will continue to support education in the future while ensuring our students aren’t saddled with an out-of-control state budget and crippling debt.

The complete report is available at http:// www.cbpp.org/cms/index. cfm?fa=view&id=4011.

Equipment safety with FFA students

Three high-school FFA students from Murray became “teachers” during third-grade field day Sept. 18.

Owen Tracy, Dakota Matlage and Alexis Tracy were in charge of the farm-equipment safety learning station. They discussed the importance of tractor and other farm equipment safety to the students.

Owen Tracy showed the propas provided in the policy adopted by er and improper places to stand council resolution.

• Appeals of the decision to deny or revoke an urban-chicken permit are to the city manager, or designee, and must be filed within 10 days of the decision.

• Violation of this subsection or the terms of the urban-chicken permit are punishable by a municipal infraction with a civil penalty of $100 for a first violation, $250 for a second violation and $500 for a third and subsequent violations.

Owen Tracy also some of the safety features on a big tractor, which allows it to be on the road day and/or night. It has many mirrors to see all angles around, flashing lights for caution, seat belt, handles to hold to climbing into the tractor and closing doors around the driver.

Matlage informed the students about the purpose of the tractor and the mower/conditioner be-

hind it. They were able to see the final results with the bales they were sitting on. The students lined up and took turns climbing into the tractor, sitting in the seat and emerging on the other side. This gave them the opportunity to see the world the way a farmers do every day on their tractors.

Alexis Tracy demonstrated four-wheeler safety to the kids and the proper ways to ride.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Move over carrots: other key nutrients for healthy vision (BPT) — Popeye trumps Bugs Bunny - at least for your eyes. An overwhelming majority of Americans — 89 percent - identify carrots as the best food to eat to ensure healthy eyes but far fewer, 32 percent, know that spinach can help support their vision too, according to a survey

by Kelton/DSM Nutritional Products.

Move over carrots and beta-carotene, there are other foods and nutrients that appeal to eye health.

Dr. Michael Roizen, author and co-founder of RealAge. com, provides a brief tutorial on the best nutrients for eye health.

Lutein and zeaxanthin — The same survey found that less than half of Americans (41 percent) are familiar with lutein and only 6 percent of Americans are familiar with the nutrient zeaxanthin. Of the 600 known carotenoids, these are the only two that are found in the retina of the eye.

Eat dark leafy greens (like spinach) and eggs and you’re on your way to incorporating lutein and zeaxanthin into your daily diet. While there is no established recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for lutein and zeaxanthin, the American Optometric Association recommends 10 mg per day of lutein and 2 mg per day of zeaxanthin.

The recently published

AREDS 2 (Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2) was launched to determine whether a combination of key nutrients — including vitamins C and E, lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene and omega-3s - can further reduce the risk of progression from the common dry macular degeneration to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Secondary analysis showed that the group receiving lutein and zeaxanthin versus those not taking lutein and zeaxanthin, had a 9 percent risk reduction for progression to advanced AMD. DHA and EPA omega-3s - DHA omega-3, found in fatty fish, fish oil and algae (the fish get it from algae— they don’t make it themselves), is a major structural fat in the retina of your eye (and in your brain). It plays an important role in infant visual development, in visual function throughout life, and in eyesight and memory support with aging.

The LUTEGA study, published in JAMA Ophthalmology showed that supplementation of lutein, zeaxanthin, DHA and EPA omega-3s result in increased concentrations of these nutrients in plasma and a significant improvement in the optical density of the macular pigment in 172 individuals with “dry” AMD.

Vitamin E — This essential vitamin, found in oils, wheat germ and peanuts, is an antioxidant that supports eye health. It may be difficult to get the recommended daily amount of vitamin E through diet alone — 15 mg/ day for anyone older than 14.

For example, to get 15 mg of

vitamin E, you would need to eat one cup of peanuts that comes with about 827 calories.

You can also get this vitamin in foods such as spinach, salmon and walnuts. But, if you’re not eating foods rich in these nutrients on a daily basis, consider add-

ing supplements specifically formulated for eye health.

Some of these supplements include Ocuvite, i-Caps and Centrum Specialist Vision.

Check with your physician before starting any supplement program.

Roizen’s quick tips on how you can help support the

health of your eyes include: 1. Avoid smoke, including second-hand smoke; 2. Wear UV protective sunglasses; 3. Take in 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin every day; 4. Get 900 mg of DHA omega-3 a day.

Positive attitude payoff At the end of the 1979 Monty Python film “Life of Brian,” Eric Idle, Graham Chapman (Brian) and a few dozen others are being hung up to dry (literally), so Idle’s character tries to cheer up everyone by singing, “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” Well, if you’ve been diagnosed with heart disease and someone tells you to cheer up, it may sound as absurd as that scene’s dark humor. But staying positive is smart medicine. People diagnosed with heart disease who have an upbeat attitude and who exercise live a lot longer and more robustly than those who don’t.

Researchers followed more than 600 patients with ischemic heart disease for five years and found that those who received optimism counseling and participated in an exercise program cut their risk of dying during those years by 42 percent. Conversely, folks with heart disease who also are depressed have a 20 percent increase in all causes of mortality and hospitalizations.

Bottom line: If you have heart disease, you’ll benefit by brightening your mood and increasing your physical activity (which always improves outlook, too!). Spend more time with friends and family; volunteer to help others less fortunate; identify something you’ve always wanted to learn or do — then go for it! And start a progressive walking program targeting 30 minutes a day or more.

(We say, aim for 10,000 steps daily.) With your doc’s permission, look into more aerobic activities, like swimming or classes at the gym or in a rehab program. And re-

member, always look on the bright side of life.

TAKING A NEW POSITION ON SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION “Celibacy is to a yogi what electricity is to a light bulb,” say some esoteric practitioners of spirituality. But we say, yoga can be to a couple with a fading sexual relationship what throwing a switch is to a light bulb. Researchers at Loyola University in Chicago have noted that “partnered yoga” can ease some of the problems couples have as a result of decreased libido, painful intercourse, inability to have an orgasm, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

If you’re having these kinds of relationship problems, massage, breathing exercises and mutually beneficial yoga postures may help re-establish trust, increase comfort with each other’s body (and your own) and rekindle feelings of intimacy.

Although statistics on how common these problems are vary wildly, it’s fair to say that when couples’ sexual difficulties arise, some are temporary as a result of illness or stress, while others are more long-lasting. In either case, it’s important to find solutions or workarounds.

Partnered yoga can help you do just that. But remember you must strike a balance between your two levels of flexibility, strength and stamina so that you both

enjoy every move. Then yoga can ease muscle and joint pain that often gets in the way of a robust sex life.

And when done together, you’ll each activate your vagus nerve, which affects heartbeat, muscle movement and breathing, and boosts feel-good brain chemicals.

For more info on yoga benefits (try a partnered warrior pose and tree pose) check out www.sharecare.com and “You: The Owner’s Manual, Revised.”

THE SQUEAMISH SCREENING THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE Online quotes about things said while getting a colonoscopy reveal the dread and the humor that people feel when it’s time for this mostprobing of exams: “Can you hear me now?” “Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?” And, “Hey doc, find my dignity yet?”

But as squeamish as you may feel about the procedure, it’s one screening that produces great health benefits. (Just ask Dr. Oz, who had his televised — and they found a polyp!) The more than 10 million people a year in North America who get scoped are the reason that the incidence of colon cancer is declining precipitously. And if everyone at normal risk for colon cancer were screened every 10 years (from age 50 until 75), it could eliminate 61 per-

cent of distal cancers (in the lower colon) and 22 percent of proximal cancers (in the upper colon). That’s because spotting and removing nonor precancerous polyps and adenomas (benign or precancerous tumors) during a colonoscopy stops colon cancer from developing.

Unfortunately, only 69 percent of men and women over 50 have ever been screened for colon cancer (colonoscopy is the most effective, but not the only method). So, if you’re 50 or older and have never had a colonoscopy, ask your doctor about arranging for one.

And remember: Eighty-five percent of folks who get colon cancer have no family history, so everyone needs to be screened. Chances are you won’t have to do it for another 10 years!

BE A SMART TV DRUG AD WATCHER For 16 hours a year (nine times a day for the average viewer) friendly voices come through the TV promising that a brand-name medicine can cure what ails you. That’s the estimated onslaught of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising on U.S. television. (In Canada, ads can mention either the brand or the indication, but not both.)

Now a new report sounds a consumer alert: While 43 percent of Rx ad claims are objectively true (for nonprescription medicines it was only 23 percent), 55 percent are potentially misleading and 2 percent are false. So how can you get the benefits you need from medications without falling for the hype?

Here are three tips.

1. When drug ads come on

TV, be skeptical. Ask yourself why it is always rugged men driving big trucks who have ED? And why is it always dreamy-eyed women who look like they could spin their own wool who are fighting depression? If you take a second look, you’ll be able to differentiate between the pitch and the substance.

2. Before you ask your doc for a medication you’ve seen on TV, or whenever you get a new prescription, read the prescribing information (it’s on the website and in the package). You’ll discover usage; warning and precautions; info on clinical studies; and much more.

3. Then ask your doctor how the med will affect YOU; what’s the goal and the risk of taking it; and are there alternative medications that can achieve the same result?

Together, make an informed decision about what meds you take.

IF YOU’RE SLEEP INCOMPATIBLE, TRY THESE TRICKS There was a time when TV’s married couples never slept in the same bed: Rob and Laura Petrie (“The Dick Van Dyke Show”) were confined to single beds separated by a nightstand; so were June and Ward Cleaver (“Leave It to Beaver”). That great divide might ease sleepcompatibility issues, but most couples prefer a shared slumber where, unfortunately, snoring (67 percent), cover-grabbing, temperature battles, leg thrashing (34 percent), sleep talking and late-night TV-watching or reading can cause ongoing problems.

If you’re losing sleep be-

cause your loved one wakes you up over and over, try these solutions: —If your partner snores, figure out why. Is it from nasal congestion? Try a decongestant and/or allergy med before bed. Because of awkward head and neck positions? Experiment with different pillows and positions.

If it seems like a more serious problem, such as sleep apnea, get the snorer to the doc for diagnosis and treatment.

—Make the bed up with two sets of covers, so you can regulate your sleep temperature and keep covered up or not, as you want.

—Sleep talking, leg thrashing and late night TV (insomnia?) can come from stress and lack of physical activity. Walk 10,000 steps throughout the day; try meditation and progressive relaxation before bedtime — and no TV! If you think restless leg syndrome is a problem (it’s a genuine neurological condition), get diagnosis and treatment.

—If all else fails, try getting to sleep before the commotion starts; you may benefit from a king-size bed, earplugs and an eye mask.

Area football CMB 57, Clarke 7 BAXTER — Collins/ Maxwell-Baxter rolled to a 57-7 win over Clarke here on Friday, dropping the Indians to 1-8 for the season and 0-5 in Class 2A District 6.

“The game came down to them finishing drive and us not finishing drives,” Clarke head coach Michael Kline said. “Offensively, I thought that we moved the ball pretty well. We had a fumble and an interception in the red zone that hurt us.

Defensively, we got them to a lot of third and fourth down situations, and then just didn’t finish the series by getting off the field.”

Junior Gordon Witt saw an increased role in the Clarke offense on Friday, and made the most of the opportunity, leading the team with 60 rushing yards on Witt 10 carries and 28 receiving yards on one reception.

Witt also scored his first career varsity touchdown, a 5-yard touchdown run, accounting for the lone score of the night for Clarke.

“Gordon Witt played a good game,” Kline said. “He was a little banged up in the first half, but came back and ended up scoring his first ever varsity touchdown.

Defensively, he had six solo tackles, three assisted tackles and one tackle for loss.”

Sophomore Rich Wilkins finished the game 8-of-16 passing for 125 yards with two interceptions.

Wilkins spread the ball around amongst his teammates, as six different Indian players caught passes.

Reed Kale finished with one reception for 27 yards, Dalton Sweeney had two catches for 24 yards and Drake Wedel caught one pass for 22 yards. Dustan Van Loon had two catches for 13 yards and Brandyne Olin finished with one reception for 11 yards.

Sweeney led the team with 11 total tackles, including nine solo tackles. Gunner Sergeant-Elben had

eight total tackles. Gable Reece and Jarod Coe each recorded a solo tackle for a loss.

Clarke finishes its season Friday at Interstate 35 in District 6 play.

Central Decatur 20, DMC 8 URBANDALE — Central Decatur kept its playoff hopes alive with a 20-8 win over Des Moines Christian here on Friday.

The Cardinals improve to 5-3 overall and 2-3 in Class 1A District 7.

Now, in order to make the playoffs, Central Decatur has to beat second-place Ogden (7-1, 4-1) and have Mount Ayr (6-2, 3-2) defeat Pella Christian (4-4, 2-3).

Des Moines Christian is also in a tie with Pella Christian and Central Decatur entering week nine, but if the above scenario plays out, even with a Des Moines Christian win over Van Meter (8-0, 5-0), the Cardinals would hold a tiebreaker over the Bears for the fourth and final playoff spot in District 7.

In Friday’s win over Des Moines Christian, the Cardinals defense played well, especially against the run.

“I was very pleased how our entire defense and offensive line played on Friday,” Central Decatur head coach Jon Pedersen said. “Defensively, we shut their run down and did well against the pass until the very end when we were a

little less aggressive with a 20-point lead.”

Central Decatur held Des Moines Christian to just 60 rushing yards for the game.

Senior Austin Delong led the Cardinals with seven total tackles, including one solo tackle for a loss and one solo sack. Senior Marcus Foltz recorded six total tackles with two solo tackles for loss and two solo sacks.

Kyle Palmer and Daniel Weir each finished with five total tackles.

Peyton Pedersen recorded two interceptions in the win, while Clayton Dale and Trenton Wells each recovered one fumble.

Wells finished with 136 rushing yards on 33 carries, scoring all three Central Decatur touchdowns. Peyton Gilbert added 28 yards on 10 carries and Wyman Reed had 27 yards on six carries.

Wells finished the game 3-of-12 passing with 78 yards.

Murray 60, East Union 6 AFTON — Seth Nerness returned the opening kickoff 66 yards for a touchdown, and Scott Funke returned an interception 25 yards to the end zone on East Union’s next possession, setting the tone for Murray’s 60-6 victory Friday night.

Going the distance Pastor Tom Murr

Woodburn Methodist Church

Watching the baseball playoff game between St. Louis Cardinals and the Pirates, Anne, my wife, became excited as the Cardinal pitcher kept pitching after the seventh inning.

Even while watching the American League playoff game, she was talking about Adam Wainwright.

In fact, CBS Sports reported “Adam Wainwright sprinted to the mound for the ninth inning, sending a message that he had plenty left.”

Wainwright wanted every one to know he was going to go the distance.

We are like that in our lives, but not on such a big stage as a major pitcher. I see people in our community fighting cancer, but they keep loving what they are doing. They want to finish the race or go the distance.

It takes a great deal of commitment and fortitude to finish the race of life. There are a lot of potholes along the way.

There are troubled times that jump out at you at the most unexpected moments.

Young Timothy had the Apostle Paul as a mentor. We need to have mentors in our lives. The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6: 11 -12 “But as for you, man of God, shun all this, pursue righteousness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith, take hold of the eternal life, to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

There was the challenge Timothy had laid out before him GRACE BIBLE CHURCH OF SOUTHERN IOWA, meets at 410 N. Dewey Osceola. Cass Young, pastor. 641-342-7110. 10:00 a.m.

from his mentor. As Christians it is laid out for us also.

We should pursue the real values of life. This is not easy in the 21st-century world we live in. Life demands the most of us with the help of God’s as our mentor to be encouragement to go the distance with righteous, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.

It is a fight. I don’t know about you, but there are times when I throw up my arms in total despair. I think what the “heck” am I suppose to do? Driving children to school on a bus, I see them coming to the bus with no excitement or enthusiasm. What has happen? Why is Sue or John so unhappy this morning?

As they get off the bus, I tell them the world is smiling at them, and the world wants them have a good time. I know my friends who drive buses for Clarke and other schools are giving encouragement, hope, care and love to the young people on the bus everyday. Drivers are finishing the distance every day.

It is a clash to be cheerful and loving while facing life everyday. Those of you, who read this far, have experienced many same situations. But Apostle Paul gave young Timothy the word to go the distance. Finish the race strong.

Wainwright went the distance — nine full innings. May God help us to be encouraged to go the distance.

Dennis Schrodt and Abby Berndt with Clarke County Conservation/ NRCS got in on the thirdgrade field day Sept. 18.

The intense tillage sample gets immediate runoff and loss of a lot of top soil

Don’t you wish your advertising could stop consumers that effectively?

Let’s face it, most of the time it gets lost in the shuffle.

It takes a certain ingenuity to stand out in a crowd. You’ve got to be provocative. Unpredictable. A little smarter than the next guy - and you’ve got to have a real feel for the medium you’re working in.

We put those talents to work for advertisers every week - at no extra cost. It works for them. And you’ll have to admit, it just worked for you!
