iors, clinical care, social and economic factors and the physical environment.

Kedley sees the proposed recreation center as an opportunity to help retain younger and older residences to stay in Osceola. It is also a safe option for students to have place to play, be active and socialize together after school and during the summer.

In the 2014 county health rankings, Clarke County came in 70th for health outcomes and 90th for health factors. Mayor Thomas Kedley is working with the city to improve these rankings and commit to one of his campaign promises by working on the details for a proposed recreational center in Osceola.

“A big part of the platform I ran on was quality of life for all Osceola citizens,” Kedley said. “We want to provide the citizens the opportunities they deserve – their right for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

According to the report, the ranking for health outcomes are based on equally weighted factors of length and quality of life. Health factors are based on weighted scores for health behav-

Project funding “Osceola has been trying for well over 30 years to get a recreation center and now is the time,” Kedley said.

A large portion, if not all, of the funding will come from the hotel/motel tax.

“Currently, 50 percent of our hotel/motel revenue stream is dedicated to paying the bond for the pool,” said City Administrator Ty Wheeler. “That bond is almost paid for, so the plan is to roll that amount into a new project, which will

be the rec center.”

Wheeler added hotel/motel revenue must be used for a cul- Wheeler tural or recreational purpose.

The city has a contract with Hansen-Kitchell. The company is currently in the programming stage of the process. The next step will be evaluating the projected cost of the rec center.

“They work with public entities on development projects,” Wheeler said. “There is actually a nonprofit, which will lease the building back to the city for the agreed upon, negotiated terms. There is no traditional bid; instead, the developer (Hansen) is at the table from the very beginning, so there are fewer contingencies or unknowns,

Kedley issues challenge to Osceola citizens

which helps reduce costs.”

Some of the proposed features for the rec center are a field house, an elevated walking track, racquetball court, fitness room, weight-lifting room and multipurpose activity room. There will also be office space for the Parks and Recreation Department.

“Right now, they are programming the facility,” Wheeler said. “They are packaging it all together and coming up with a projected cost. Then we can review it, decide what we need to change or, if it is too high, what we can live without.”

Once the cost projections are completed, Wheeler said the next step will be securing financing before officially breaking ground on the project.

“If there is any fundraising that needs to occur, we will know what our goal will be after the programming is complete,” Wheeler said.

Osceola Mayor Thomas Kedley issued a challenge to the town’s citizens at the Tuesday, Oct. 18 city council meeting.

He issued a similar challenge at his second city council meeting as mayor in spring 2015 and saw a positive response.

“I put a challenge out to all Osceola citizens to take pride in their community,” Kedley said. “To get cars out of front yards, to start cleaning up fall foliage, debris and

trash.”

Kedley mentioned John F. Kennedy’s famous q u o t e from his 1961 inaugural address when he Kedley said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for your country.”

Kedley took that quote and changed it to, “Ask not KEDLEY | 6

SHERIFF: CONT. FROM | 1A

four children. I have three stepdaughters and one daughter of my own.

• Why are you running for this position?

For the last 18 years, I have worked for the citizens of Clarke County. I want to continue working for the citizens of Clarke County, and with Sheriff Kerns retiring, this is the next step in my law enforcement career. I believe with my experience and knowledge of Clarke County I am the best candidate for the sheriff position.

• What makes you the best candidate for the job?

I have the knowledge of the day-to-day operations of the sheriff office. I have been involved with decision-making procedures of the sheriff office budget.

I still do the daily duties of a deputy sheriff. I patrol county roads, serve civil papers and garnishments and also do criminal investigations.

I am also a certified jailer and attend administrative jail school every year to learn new policy and procedures in the jail that is governed by the state of Iowa.

My duties also include scheduling vacations, shift changes and schooling for jailers, dispatchers and deputies. I am also involved in the hiring process for new employees at the sheriff’s office, including training new deputies and jailers.

I am very familiar with the roads of Clarke County, as well as Murray and Woodburn, and the citizens who live in the areas. This allows me to have a rapid response time if an emergency should arise.

WALK: CONT. FROM | 1A

where participants will receive a commemorative glass, punch card and wristband before walking around the businesses downtown.

Participants will need valid photo identification in order to receive their materials. Advance tickets are on sale until 4 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Osceola Chamber Main Street office and cost $15. After 4 p.m. Nov. 3, tickets are $20.

Businesses not located in the downtown area that want to participate are set up either in other businesses or in empty store fronts for the evening.

Paula McClaflin, owner of Stoney Oak Properties LLC, will be participating with her business for the third year.

“At the beginning, it started with showcasing our new building and site and agents,” McClaflin said. “Then, it turned into it’s fun to see the people who come from all over to participate in the wine walk. For me, it’s a great way to show off Osceola and our town square.”

Lumsden said the event has grown every year,

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

I want to continue giving the citizens of Clarke County the best law enforcement coverage the office can provide. I want to continue providing the citizens of Clarke County a sheriff office that they can be proud of and are not scared to call upon for any situation that arises.

If elected, I plan on keeping the Clarke County Sheriff Reserve program, as they are a valuable tool to help the office in many different aspects of the job.

The reserve deputies transport inmates and help provide security for special events in the county. The also patrol the county helping the deputies when needed.

Ed Stoll Tell me about yourself/ background.

I am a 56-year-old married father of two adult children. I live in the best spot in the world on a hill just south of town. I enjoy motorcycles, traveling, food and k e e p i n g Stoll abreast of the human condition.

Why are you running for this position?

I have determined with my skill set and desire this is the best thing I can do to make the world a better place.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

I have been a local certified police officer for 22 years. I have attended numerous advanced training classes. I served in the Iowa National Guard. Just as imstarting with less than 200 people participating and growing to nearly 400 last year.

“It’s pretty much a downtown night out,” he said. “A lot of people will go out and eat before or after. They go through shops they would have gone through for Christmas shopping but do it in one night. It’s a great way to get people out and about active and places they’ve never been before.”

Participants will have their cards punched at each location so businesses can track who has already been there and so the event stays in accordance with state law.

The event includes primarily Iowa wines and craft beers, though as more businesses participate, it becomes more difficult to fill each location with Iowa wines and beers.

Some of the wines and beers will be available for sale, but Lumsden encourages participants to buy from either HyVee, Wal-Mart or Fareway because prices will be cheaper there than what can be offered at the event.

McClaflin said she believes the entire town prospers from the event.

THURSDAY • OCTOBER 27, 2016

portantly, I also have spent several years in non-government employment and business. I have a wide base of experience that allows me to relate well with everyday people, as well as the law enforcement community.

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

My goal is to maintain a sheriff’s office that runs like a well-oiled machine. A sheriff’s office that people say they are proud to work at. A sheriff’s office that provides excellent service and protection to the citizens of Clarke County.

Tell me about yourself/ background.

I have resided in Clarke County since my retirement in 1999. I retired as the first supervisory deputy in the U.S. Marshals Service in the state of Iowa. I oversaw the daily Williamson operations for the U.S. Marshals Service, Southern District of Iowa.

I served as the supervisor of all criminal investigations, prisoner movements, special assignments and high threat trials. I supervised 12 deputy marshals and 21 court security officers daily.

I have a four-year degree and also attended additional criminal justice classes at Des Moines Community College. I have extensive law enforcement training in several areas and have assisted in teaching at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy.

I have served the citizens of Iowa for many years

and now seek your vote to be the next Clarke County sheriff that will be dedicated to serving the citizens of Clarke County.

Why are you running for this position?

I believe that it is time for change. The sheriff’s department has now been overseen by the same party and has been passed on without a major election or any new sets of eyes to observe and make some necessary changes. I think that positive changes can be made in areas of training, procedures and general operational policies.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

I have the needed training and what I consider the qualifications for the position of sheriff. I oversaw the daily operations for the U.S. Marshals Service, Southern District of Iowa. I served as the supervisor for the U.S Marshal’s Service for the southern half of Iowa. I have a very detailed list of training at all levels of law enforcement.

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

My short-term goals include the addition of more reserve deputies to help assist in the law enforcement mission. I want to bring back the “Sheriff’s Posse.”

Both of these programs can be a great asset to the department and the county.

I want to seek out the most qualified individuals to make positive changes to the internal structure of the department. My long-term goals include additional training and upgrading to the most current equipment, additional personnel and providing the most cost-effective service to the citizens of Clarke County.

“I think we all benefit together as a networking group,” she said. “I think I benefit because people are coming to town and seeing the improvements on the square. I think it’s important for us to have our town look good and be up-to-date for anyone who comes to our community.”

Wine walks used to be held in several Iowa communities but have become less common recently because of government regulations. Osceola has

worked diligently to meet those regulations in order to continue having its wine walk.

“I think it’s just really important that it’s become a neat little venue for our town,” McClaflin said.

“It’s a great way for building owners and business owners that don’t have a building to come in and showcase what Osceola has to offer. If you’re not participating in the wine walk, you’re going to want to next year.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Think again about who you vote for

Courthouse security encouraging From John D. Lloyd – Judge, Fifth Judicial District of Iowa Osceola

A few weeks ago the Department of Homeland Security was invited to perform a security survey of Clarke County Courthouse. While we do not yet have the written report, the comments of the investigator as he left were encouraging.

He was impressed with the efforts that have been made to make the courthouse a more safe and secure environment, both for the employees who work there and the citizens who use it.

The most visible change is the presence of a deputy in the building during normal business hours. Other changes are not generally visible to the public using the building, but collectively they provide some comfort that the building is safe.

As a former Clarke County Attorney and present chair of the Clarke County Courthouse Security Committee, I want to compliment and thank Clarke County Board of Supervisors and the Clarke County Sheriff’s office for their support for courthouse security and their efforts in that area.

Clinton has had plenty of prep time From Dale Mastarone Osceola

The final Presidential debate was held Oct 18.

On Thursday, the media pretty well stated that it was a toss-up whether Clinton or Trump prevailed. Now the media also reported earlier that Clinton took several days off the campaign trail to prep for the debate, while Trump kept going from one event to another, practically nonstop for months on end now.

Here is what comes to mind to me:

If Clinton needed two or three days to prep just to “tie” Trump, how many days would she need to prep to respond to an emergency as President so she could at least “tie” an enemy of the U.S.? Perhaps she didn’t have enough time to prep for the situation in Benghazi as Secretary of State, and our people were murdered in cold blood?

Also, Clinton had about 30 years involvement in politics (prep time) and she could not best never-been-a-politician Trump in a political debate.

I know what all the forgoing tells me, what does it tell you?

Re-elect Janice White for auditor From NevaLee McDowell Osceola

Having worked with Janice White for 14-plus years, I can honestly say that Jan is very qualified for this position. She has been our auditor for the past four years and first deputy for 12 years prior to that.

Jan is a very disciplined person, as well as efficient, dedicated and professional. She works exceptionally well with all the county employees and the general public, as well.

Please vote for Janice White in the general election on Nov. 8, and let’s keep Jan White as our Clarke County Auditor.

Show support for veterans Bob Oehlert Osceola

Dear veterans, I am dismayed and surprised.

After listening to Donald Trump make degrading and nasty remarks about veterans, I see some evidence that some veterans are supporting him.

Remember his comments about one of the American heroes, John McCain, when Trump made light of him for being captured. McCain

has dedicated his life to service to our country. He was a war hero, captured and imprisoned, by the enemy. He returned to serve as a U.S. Senator and then ran for president in 2008.

I am a World War II veteran. My brothers served in World War II. My brother Herschel was killed in the war and received the honor of a Navy Cross.

Veterans, join me and say no to Trump. I’m voting for a supporter of the military, Hillary Clinton.

Vote Sinclair!

From Michael Kacmarynski Knoxville

Recently, I have gotten the opportunity to talk with State Sen. Amy Sinclair and her independent opponent. There is a big difference between the two: leadership!

Sen. Sinclair has been leading since 2005; at the time, she was a member of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors. Fast forward to 2012 when she saw unfunded mandates, and increasing one-fits-all regulation. Then, hoping to bring common sense reform to Des Moines, she ran for State Senate and won. The independent candidate has run for office six times, but only been elected once, because she fails to have a reason to run, other than to hold office.

In our conversation, I asked

both candidates about policies.

Sen. Sinclair has a vision and plan to help bring more common-sense reforms to Des Moines. She has passed important bipartisan legislation, and she will defend every vote she has ever taken. She is passionate about what she does.

When I asked her opponent about what party she would caucus with for a committee assignment, she failed to comment. On policies, she was indecisive at best. Her answers fluctuated and were not distinct. The one definitive answer she gave? She wants to limit your First Amendment rights!

To me, the answer is clear. Sen. Sinclair is a true leader. Her opponent is simply a career politician who repeatedly fails to meet the mark for election. I urge you, vote for leadership. Vote Sinclair!

COLLEGE NEWS Des Moines Area Community College DES MOINES – Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) student Taylor Hardy of Osceola has received a $250 scholarship from the DMACC Foundation for the fall semester. Hardy is studying for a nursing associate degree.

From Barbara Paulding Russell

Free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power is one of the cornerstones of our entire Democratic system. In the third presidential debate, Donald Trump refused to say that he would accept the results of the presidential election. This is a dangerous attempt to undermine people’s confidence in our electoral process.

Throughout this election, Trump has shown utter contempt for our

Democratic ideals and an utter lack of basic knowledge about how our government works. His heroes are dictators: Putin, Kim Jung Ung and Assad. When our intelligence agencies all say Putin is responsible for recent cyber-attacks, he refuses to believe them and continues to defend Putin.

Will Republicans finally see this man for the dangerous demagogue he is and repudiate him? I don’t think so. They are already trying to deny he said what he said. I guess they think that if he is elected pres-

ident, they can pass their bills, have him sign them and control him.

No, Republicans, you will not be able to control him. You have not been able to control him as a candidate, and you most certainly will not be able to control him if be becomes the most powerful man in the world.

Voters have two choices in this election. They can elect the first woman as the president of the United States or they can elect the first dictator of the United States.

Sample premium amounts released

By Rep. Joel Fry

The Fry Times

House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us 515-281-3221

The Insurance Commissioner announced Iowans may preview sample premiums for individual ACA-compliant health insurance plans for all of Iowa’s rating areas, as they have been cleared for release.

The announcement included sample premiums and a chart, which provided information on which insurance companies will be selling ACA-compliant insurance policies on the federal health insurance marketplace in their county.

This comes after the commissioner approved large premium increases for individual ACA-compliant plans for 2017: • Aetna Health, Inc.: 22.58 percent increase for 42,000 policyholders • Gunderson: 19.8 percent increase for 88 policyholders • Medica: 19 percent increase for 1,367 policyholders • Wellmark (individual

health insurance): 42.6 percent increase for 21,900 policyholders • Wellmark (HMO transitional individual plans, preACA): 42.6 percent increase for 2,300 policyholders • Wellmark (individual HMO plans): 37.8 percent for 7,700 policyholders The commissioner has maintained throughout the entire premium increase proposal process that Iowans need to shop around and truly explore their options before

committing to a policy and continues to stress the importance of evaluating all plans and factors as we get into the enrollment period.

More information will be available Nov. 1, which marks the start of the open-enrollment period. Iowans must complete enrollment by Dec. 15 to be covered starting Jan. 1. Additionally, the Insurance Division has listed the following resources for those going through the process: • During open enrollment, Iowans may call 1-800-3182596 or visit www.healthcare. gov for information regarding enrollment, as well as for tax-credit information and benefit comparison.

• Navigators, certified application counselors and local insurance agents are also available around the state and can be located at localhelp. healthcare.gov/#intro.

• There are also Iowa Insurance Consumer Advocate resources available to help those with questions at insuranceca.iowa.gov.

BACK IN TIME Building the square in Osceola

By Marie White Clarke County Historical Society

In 1901 and 1902, Osceola improved more than any town of its size in Iowa. Building enterprise was manifested in the business district by the erection of eight business blocks. Also going up were scores of new residences and barns. The city was making fine progress with the erection of modern convenient residences. Visitors would see a deal of scaffolding about Osceola and some torn-up walks.

That sign was not a bad sign, but in fact, good advertising for the city.

On Christmas Day 1901, after 10 days of intense cold weather, the skies brightened up and stone masons laid stone on the foundation of the Lewis Block on the northeast comer of the square.

Workmen in all lines were hard to get. Lack of them was all that held Osceola’s building boom from assuming larger proportions. Brick makers had a difficult time starting kilns in the

spring as the rains melted them as fast as they were molded.

The demand for houses to rent far exceeded the supply. Osceola was growing. More houses needed to be built to accommodate the people who wanted to live in the city.

Norton Bailey bought a lot for $2,800 with a 40-foot front joining the R. M. Lewis lot on the west. Bailey planned to build in connection with Mr. Lewis, making an 85-foot, two-story block on the northeast corner.

The lower room to be used for Bailey’s furniture and undertaking business. It was to be one of the best furniture rooms in the state.

In the early summer of 1902, Bailey built the new brick block.

The building was built of hollow brick in two sizes, since hollow bricks rendered a wall absolutely fire proof and also dampproof. The bricks were higher priced than other brick and patented.

The two large business blocks of Bailey and Lewis added greatly to the appearance of Osceola’s business district. Those

two gentlemen exercised good judgment and a fine sense of discrimination in building with an eye to artistic beauty, as well as substantially. The pressed brick cornices, in fancy design, and the stylish fronts gave the entire block a metropolitan appearance.

A petition was passed among businessmen for paving streets with vitrified brick. The brick streets would stretch from the depot to the opera house and the south side of the square. If all went well, there would be a new system of waterworks in 1902. Telephone service improved with two new switch boards put in service at the Osceola exchange, a marked improvement. Farmers organized the Farmers Mutual Telephone Company. Members subscribed for stock with so much per share.

Osceola was booming with the new business blocks and residences. Osceola was an ideal city to live in and enjoy life and was prosperous and energetic from a business standpoint.

Iowa Arts Council kicks off “Meet the Artist” series this month

Goben birthday card shower planned

DES MOINES – If the talents of the latest group of Iowa Arts Council Fellows belonged to a single artist, that person could photograph their own spoken-word performance that was inspired by a drawing they made to illustrate one of their poems.

Fortunately, all that creative firepower belongs not to a single artist but five, who will crisscross the state over the next few months as part of the Iowa Arts Council’s 2016-17 Meet the Artist series.

Cards may be sent to her at 120 W. Shaw St. Apt. 23, Osceola, IA 50213.

October is Children’s Health Month Kids and germs seem to go together like milk and cookies. But, there are ways parents can keep germs from spreading and boost kids’ immune systems to help prevent illnesses this cold and flu season, a UIeCare health expert says.

“The gathering of children in schools and daycares is one of the main ways germs spread and get circulated through communities,” said Patrick D. Brophy, MD, MHCDS, professor of pediatrics at University of Iowa and medical director for UIeCare. “One of the best defenses against the spread of germs is for kids to wash their hands frequently at school and home.”

Since kids often touch their mouths and faces, parents should make sure their hands are washed with soap and water to remove germs before eating, after using the bathroom and when they come inside from playing. Hand sanitizer can be used for times it’s not possible to wash.

In conjunction with Children’s Health Month, Brophy offers the following five tips to help protect children from the inevitable germs lurking at school and home.

• Get active – Kids should get regular, moderate exercise to boost their immune systems. In fact, studies have shown that being active can help reduce cold and flu episodes. Exercising outside can also give kids the health benefits of added Vitamin D from the sun.

• Get plenty of sleep – Children need between nine and 14 hours of sleep a day depending on their age.

Make sure kids go to bed at a reasonable hour and have a consistent bedtime routine. Sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of getting sick.

• Eat a well-balanced diet – Provide meals with plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables to help boost children’s immune systems. Look for foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin D and avoid those high in additives, preservatives and sugars.

• Decrease stress – Going to school or daycare can be stressful for some children.

Elevated stress hormones can lead to decreased immunity. Give children plen-

ty of down time for rest and creative play to help lower their stress levels and keep them from getting sick.

• Avoid sharing – Sharing is good for kids, but many commonly shared items can be breeding grounds for germs. Teach children never to share straws and cups, and send them to school with a personal set of supplies.

“If kids do get sick, it’s important for parents to keep them home and take steps to prevent germs from spreading to others,” Brophy said. “If a doctor’s visit is necessary, virtual care makes it easy to see a physician without an appointment from the comfort of home.”

UIeCare, one of Iowa’s first virtual care services, makes it possible for Iowans to see a UI Health Care-credentialed provider on a computer or smart phone from anywhere in Iowa at any time. The UIeCare service is for minor illnesses and injuries that are urgent but not an emergency, such as flu-like symptoms, rash, sore throat and vomiting.

A UIeCare visit costs $50.

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

Iowans who are interested in learning more or would like to request online care can visit uiecare. com.

“I want people to take pride in their community,” Kedley said. “I think we’ve come leaps and bounds over the last year. Citizens are

taking pride in their properties, starting to clean things up. I’d like to continue that positive progression. I want Osceoa, Iowa to be the focus of southern Iowa, to be the centeral hub, to be the town or city everyone wants to be.

Realtime reporting educational program offered at DMACC WEST DES MOINES – Have you ever heard of realtime reporting? Realtime reporting is utilizing technology to provide an instantaneous record of the spoken word. A realtime reporter writes on a computerized shorthand machine using brief forms, while software on a laptop translates the spoken word into English instantly. It is a specialized skill that requires intense training and is in demand in a variety of career areas. There is a critical shortage of court reporters in Iowa and nationwide as current court reporters retire.

Realtime reporters are in demand in the courtroom to provide a verbatim record of a court trial. By using a computerized system, the court reporter writes in realtime and the translation is immediate.

The trial judge is able to access the record in realtime using a laptop. Reading back in a trial is relatively easy for a court reporter through the use of the search feature in the software.

This is far superior to any electronic recording system because it provides an accurate and complete record without any “inaudible” comments.

Realtime reporters are also employed by TV stations to provide captioning of TV shows. This is often done remotely; reporters can be almost anywhere and have an audio feed of a show. Reporters write the show in realtime. Through the use of specialized software, the English translation then goes onto TV screens as “closed captioning.”

As with courtroom reporters, there is a shortage in this field.

TV stations are required by the Americans with Disabili-

ties Act to provide captioning of live TV shows.

Lawyers depend on realtime reporters to record depositions of people involved in court cases. A deposition must be done by a realtime reporter who provides a certified transcript of the verbatim proceedings. With the increase in the number of lawsuits, realtime reporters are in demand.

Another career area for realtime reporting is assisting the hearing impaired. Reporters can provide hearing-impaired students with a transcript of classroom lectures. They can go to class with the student or work remotely by accessing the classroom lecture over the internet and providing a realtime feed back to the student.

Reporters also provide realtime at conventions and conferences, airports and hotels, so audience members can read what is being said.

Realtime reporting offers a variety of job opportunities that are in high demand, interesting work and high salaries.

The program to become a certified court reporter is offered at Des Moines Area Community College - Newton campus and is the only program offered in Iowa. Information sessions are held periodically to inform people of all ages about this career.

Contact the DMACC - Newton Campus at 641791-3622 to register for an information session that is offered from 10 to 11 a.m.

Paul Dietzel was the head football coach at Louisiana State University and he said, “You learn more character on the 2 yard line than anywhere else in life.” And he’s right! Depending on which side of the ball you’re on, the 2 yard line means you’re right on the edge of success or failure. That’s when it’s time to dig in, to make a final surge for the score or a last minute stand against defeat.

And often it’s a combination of the two. That’s because life, unlike football, makes it possible to be both places at once. You’ve been there, haven’t you? So have I. So let me ask you a question: As you consider the challenges you’re facing today, what does victory demand you do? Push harder

here? Stand tougher there?

Either way, it’s time to dig in. Time to persevere, to persist in doing good one more day, making one more effort to accomplish the goal you’re focused on.

And dig in is exactly what Mike Mays did.

At three years old, Mike Mays was accidentally blinded by a chemical explosion when he and his 4-year-old sister were playing in the garage. He lived his entire life until he was well into his forties before having his eyesight restored by a pioneering ophthalmologist. But despite the fact that he was blinded at a young age, it seemed that his whole life was spent overcoming the obstacles that were presented by his blindness.

He learned to ride a bike, skate on a skateboard, play soccer, become an engineer, marry and have a

family. He became so adept at walking by using an incredible sense of hearing that worked with echoes and how his brain interpreted those echoes that most people were not even aware that he was blind until they would get close enough to him to see his eyes.

Robert Kurson tells the story in a book entitled Crashing Through. The title came about when Mike begin to describe his childhood and that when he would play on the playground or in pickup games of football with his neighborhood buddies that he was always having to “crash through” some obstacle or hindrance that prevented him from accomplishing what he wanted to do.

So it was with many scrapes, bruises, aches, and pains that Mike accomplished what he did with his

life. Time and time again he found himself on the 2 yard line and he had to dig in.

Your obstacles are different from those of Mike May. So are mine. But they are obstacles nonetheless.

So what are you going to do? Give in, or dig in?

The Bible gives us some words of encouragement when it says, “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” (Galatians 6:9, NLT) Dig in, my friends.....dig in!

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Powerful Mustangs too much for Indians Clarke finishes season 3-6 overall, tied for fourth in district n

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

MONROE — Clarke’s margin for error heading into Friday’s football game with Class 2A seventh-ranked PCM was small.

Any mistakes the Indians made would be magnified against a team that was 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the Class 2A District 5 coming into the regular season finale.

The Indians had a number of turnovers and the Mustangs capitalized in rolling to a 73-8 win.

“They’re a really good team,” said Clarke assistant coach Aaron O’Tool. “They have phenomenal athletes.

They have a good lifting program going. Those guys are committed. They’re big, fast and strong and well coached.”

PCM led 40-0 after the first quarter.

“We couldn’t stop them,” O’Tool said.

Falling behind was something Clarke struggled with all season.

This time, the early deficit was too much to dig out of.

“It didn’t help being down 40-0,” O’Tool said. “We’ve always been behind, but not that far behind.

“It was a tough game.”

Clarke junior quaterback Andy Hurtado is brought down by a host of PCM defenders during Friday’s season finale at PCM in Class 2A District 6 play.

The Mustangs took advantage of a long kickoff return on the opening kickoff.

On the first play, the Mustangs found the endzone for a quick 7-0 lead.

Clarke then started having troubles recovering PCM kickoffs. The Indians turned the ball over on four kickoffs in the first quarter, leading to 28 PCM points.

A squib kick PCM used was tough for Clarke to defend.

“Talking to their coach, they had been watching some film on their first playoff game. They had been practicing some stuff, squib kick. That was something they wanted to work on,” said Clarke assistant coach Aaron O’Tool.

Clarke’s offense struggled against PCM’s stout

defense.

“That’s the top defensive team in the district,” O’Tool said.

Clarke’s cause was hurt by a number of injuries.

Center Nick McVey missed his second straight game with a broken hand. Receiver and defensive end Gabe Crawford was sidelined by a concussion, McVey’s absence was felt up front.

“He’s been the rock for our offensive line,” O’Tool said. “We knew he was important. He kept that offensive line together. That was something we missed the past couple of weeks.”

Clarke’s bright spot offensively came when Garrett Moore found Brandyne Olin for a touchdown.

tied him the school record for touchdown receptions in a season with nine. He set the record for most receptions with 45.

“We wanted Brandyne to get that opportunity to tie the school record,” O’Tool said.

PCM, which finished 8-1 overall and 7-0 in the district, will host Roland-Story, 7-2 in the opening round of

the Class 2A playoffs Friday.

“They’ll represent our district really well in the playoffs,” O’Tool said.

Nathan Bair had 94 yards rushing on 17 carries to lead the Clarke ground game.

Olin caught five passes for 87 yards with one score.

Andy Hurtado was 6-of-14 passing for 51 yards. Moore was 2-of-2 passing for 59

yards.

Trey Diawara led the defense with 14 tackles. Jon Bair, Nathan Bair, Conner Deutsch, Moore and Amani Fry each had five tackles.

Clarke finished the season 3-6 overall and 3-4 in the district, tied for fourth.

Roadrunners race past Raiders in season finale Interstate 35 finishes season 6-3, third in district

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr had early momentum in Friday’s Class 1A District 5 contest with Interstate 35.

The Roadrunner defense made a stand and the Raiders missed a field goal.

Interstate 35 then seized the momentum offensively.

The Roadrunners ran with it for the rest of the game.

The Roadrunners finished the season with a 2712 victory.

“It was a big win, a real big win,” said Interstate 35 coach Mike Stuart. “A couple of times momentum switched on us. We never quit. I was very proud of the way they played for four quarters.”

Winning in Mount Ayr was a big achievement for the team.

“That’s always a tough environment to play in,” Stuart said.

Interstate 35’s poise showed throughout.

“We kept our composure and played hard for four quarters,” Stuart said.

Mount Ayr took the opening kickoff inside the Interstate 35 10-yard line before the Roadrunner defense stiffened. Mount Ayr attempted, but missed a short field goal.

Interstate 35 wasted little time in capitalizing. A couple of plays later, sophomore running back Mason Cassady broke free on a 72yard touchdown run to give the Roadrunners a 6-0 lead.

Interstate 35 junior quarterback Brayden Egli (5) hands off to sophomore running back Mason Cassady (6) during the second quarter of Friday’s Class 1A District 5 game at Mount Ayr. Senior Dante Arzani (55) and senior Tanner Beem (63) create a gaping hole for Cassady to run through. Cassady rushed for 180 yards on 26 carries and one touchdown, a 72-yard run, in the Roadrunners’ 27-12 victory in their season finale.

Cassady finished the night with 180 yards on 26 carries, good for a 6.9 yard per rush average.

“Mason had a very good night,” Stuart said.

Cassady’s runs came both in early downs, as well as later downs.

“He made some big runs on third and short, fourth and short,” Stuart said. “He put his head down and ran hard behind his offensive line, which also had a very good night.”

Cassady cut quickly outside through an open hole on his 72-yard touchdown run.

“The holes were there, then he made a couple of cuts,” Stuart said. “He made a nice cut there, got to the second level, then did his thing after that.”

Roadrunners quarterback Brayden Egli enjoyed an efficient night throwing.

The junior completed 12-of17 passes for 180 yards and

three touchdowns.

“Brayden threw the ball really well,” Stuart said.

“He made big-time throws.

He connected well with his receivers. That sealed the deal for us.”

Tanner Daniels caught five passes for 61 yards and two touchdowns. Richie Griglione caught five passes for 93 yards and one touchdown.

Daniels’ first touchdown catch came from 19 yards out with 4:34 left in the second quarter. The extra point kick gave the Roadrunners a 13-0 lead.

Daniels caught his second touchdown pass from 12 yards out with 50 seconds before halftime. The extra point kick put the Roadrunners ahead 20-0 at halftime.

Mount Ayr struck halfway through the third quarter on an 8-yard run by Zach Murphy.

Interstate 35 answered immediately when Egli con-

nected with Griglione on a 70-yard strike.

Mount Ayr’s other score came when Murphy recovered a blocked punt and scooted in three yards for the score.

The Raiders recovered the onside kick, but the Roadrunner defense held.

Interstate 35’s defense held Mount Ayr to 284 yards of total offense, 239 rushing and 45 passing.

Cassady led the defense with six solo tackles and one for loss. Dante Arzani had four solo tackles, six assists, two solo tackles for loss and two assists for loss. Caleb McKinney had three solo tackles and three assists.

Austin Beener had two solos and three assists. Daniels had three solo tackles and one assist.

“The defense played outstanding,” Stuart said. “We haven’t seen that style of offense. We had to play assignment football. We had

to stay home. Everyone flew around and did a nice job.”

Interstate 35 ended the season 6-3 overall and 4-3 in the district, good for third overall.

“It was a great way to end the season,” Stuart said. “The entire team was a bunch of blue collar kids.

They showed up and worked hard every day. They never quit.”

The win at Mount Ayr builds plenty of momentum heading into next season.

“To win at Mount Ayr — it’s big,” Stuart said. “It builds a lot of momentum going into next year.”

ATLANTIC — Interstate 35 senior Dominic Cresta found a love of running a couple of years ago.

It has become his passion.

Thanks to plenty of hard work, Cresta’s love for the sport has paid off.

Cresta earned his second straight trip to the state cross country meet with a sixth-place finish at the Class 2A state qualifying meet Thursday at the Atlantic Golf & Country Club.

Cresta finished in a time of 17 minutes, 36 seconds.

The top 15 individuals made it to Fort Dodge.

“I played football until my sophomore year,” Cresta said. “I realized running is my true love.”

His hard work running outside of meets translated into an effort that has him running at Fort Dodge.

“It’s rewarding,” Cresta said. “All of the hard work I put in has come this far. It’s really rewarding and exciting.”

Cresta went out with the lead pack early. He settled into the fifth position before falling back to sixth late.

Still he was well in front of 15th-place.

“He did what he needed to do,” said Interstate 35 coach Desman Oakley. “He ran a comfortable race. He did everything he needed to do.”

The Roadrunner boys placed sixth as a team. with 162 points. South Hamilton, Ogden and Roland-Story advanced as teams.

“We thought we could be anywhere from second to eighth, but I’m really happy with sixth,” Oakley said.

“We beat a couple of teams that have been ranked or on the watch list all year in Woodward Academy and Southeast Valley.”

While there was excitement for Cresta, there was the other end of the emotional spectrum for Interstate 35 junior Lizzy Parish in the girls race.

Parish placed 16th in 22:58, just missing the spot at state.

Southwest Iowa’s Kaitlyn Kilstofte was 15th in 22:53.

“It would’ve been a lofty achievement for Lizzy to get in the top 15,” Oakley said.

“She was so close.”

Parish was in a pack between spots 15-through-18 for much of the race. At one point, she fell back to 18th. She picked off two spots, but couldn’t make up enough ground to take 15th.

“She couldn’t get the last one,” Oakley said.

Missing out by one spot was disappointing for the junior.

“She’s really competitive,” Oakley said. “She doesn’t like to get beat, doesn’t like to get told she can’t do something. This is going to sink in for her.

SPORTS Mustangs end season on a high, down Saints THURSDAY • OCTOBER 27, 2016

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

MURRAY — Murray’s eight healthy seniors had an opportunity for one last chance at success as a unit during Friday’s season finale against Mormon Trail.

The Mustangs’ eight seniors ended their careers on a definite high note. Murray jumped out to a 46-0 lead in the second quarter and cruised to a 60-18 win in Eight-player District 6.

“It was a big night for our seniors,” said Murray coach

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Taylor Fulton. “We started all eight of our healthy seniors on both sides.”

The Mustang seniors played with plenty of passion in their final home game.

“It was a high intensity,” Fulton said. “It was very emotional. It was fun to watch, fun to coach. I’m happy we got to be a part of it.”

For senior Josh Barber, the lone senior who could not play because of an injury, watching his teammates go out and be successful was meaningful.

“He’s a kid who would’ve

been playing,” Fulton said.

“It meant a lot for him to still see the team succeed and get the win.”

Senior running back Jack Jones had been limited by injury most of the season.

He ended his prep career on a high note rushing for 145 yards and three touchdowns.

“Jack Jones got to play a little running back for us for the first time in a few weeks,” Fulton said. “It was nice to have him back, get him on a roll.”

Jones opened the scoring with touchdown runs of 26, 21 and 42 yards as the Mus-

tangs jumped out to a 24-0 lead.

“He had a big night,” Fulton said.

Zane Black put his name into the scoring column twice in the second quarter. He completed a 15-yard pass to Tyler McMillen for a touchdown, then later added a 29-yard touchdown run, increasing the lead to 40-0.

Black completed 6-of-7 passes for 51 yards and one score.

Dustin Teas also found his way into the scoring column on a 29-yard run late in the half for a 46-0 lead.

Teas rushed for 44 yards on three carries with the one score. Black had 52 yards on 12 carries. He completed 6-of-7 passes for 51 yards and one touchdown. Keller had two catcehs for 50 yards.

Mormon Trail found the end zone once in the first half and Murray led 46-6 at the break.

Murray’s defense also found ways to score, twice in the second half. Payton Flaherty had a 50-yard interception return for a score in the third quarter, while Josh Webb contributed with a 58yard interception return for a score in the fourth quarter.

The Saints added a touchdown in the third quarter and a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Murray moved several players around.

One that shifted positions was Gabe Gard, who played both safety and linebacker.

“We had quite a few kids step in and play some different positions,” Fulton said.

“Gabe Gard played safety and linebacker. He did some things he was not accustomed to doing. He was able to take advantage of a few situations. It was nice to see him play strong defense.”

Both Flaherty and Webb will be back next season.

“Those are a couple younger guys we’re looking forward to next year,” Fulton said.

Defensively, Jimmy Cook had seven solo tackles, three assists and one fumble re-

covery. Flaherty had five solos, one assist and one interception. Quentin Siefkas had four solos, six assists and one and a half tackles for loss. Black had four solos, one assist and three tackles for loss. Jones had two solos and one tackle for loss. McMillen had two solos and one assist. Webb had one solo, one assist and one interception.

All of the healthy Mustang players saw the field.

“It was nice to get some experience and be successful,” Fulton said. “We’re very happy with Friday night.”

Season recap Murray finishes the season 4-5 overall and 2-5 in Eight-player District 6.

The Mustangs bid farewell to nine seniors: Barber, Jones, Bryce Keller, Gard, Dustin Teas, McMillen, Black, Quentin Siefkas and Dillion Hightshoe.

“We’ll really miss them,” Fulton said.

The Mustangs will have seven back, joined by a good number of incoming freshmen.

“We’re looking forward to seeing what we can do this offseason to prepare for next year,” Fulton said.

This season taught the Mustangs to be ready for any situation.

“We have to be prepared from the first snap, come out and execute,” Fulton said.

“Injuries happen. We have to be versatile and able to overcome and adapt when those things happen that you can’t control.”

Next season’s success will start in the offseason conditioning program.

“We need to get a good group in the weight room,” Fulton said. “We need to get all the kids in the weight room consistently. That’s where a small program or a large program can do is get kids in the weight room consistently.

We want to build on that, see where our rebuilding years take us.”

Fulton was proud of the team’s progress this season.

“We improved,” Fulton said. “It was a great group of young men, to watch them grow and become successful over the season.”

Osceola FFA ‘Living to Serve’ through collaboration On Oct. 9, Osceola Big Chief FFA members enjoyed southern Iowa weather as they practiced the last line of the FFA Motto - “Living to Serve.” A tip from past FFA member Heather Stearns paved the way for a new addition to our chapter’s community service projects – feed the farmer.

Students collaborated with the local FFA alumni to create snack bags for local farmers as they bring in the year’s harvest. FFA officer Hannah Pollard worked with United Farmers Co-op in Osceola to find a day for the group to volunteer. Snack bags inContributed photo cluded kettle corn, crackIn the picture, Hannah Pollard hands a snack bag to a ers, granola bars, and of

course, the staple of most farmer’s diets during harvest season, a candy bar and pop or water.

At 10:30 a.m., students met to pop fresh kettle corn and complete last minute preparations on the 50 snack bags. Shortly before noon, members turned the corner toward United Farmer’s Co-op and were greeted by a line of trucks waiting to unload. Members were excited to be able to provide a small token of appreciation for all the things our local farmers do for our community.

questions on market gilts and breeding does. The advanced livestock judges had to give a set of oral reasons on breeding ewes and breeding heifers.

The horse judging novice individual had to answer 10 questions on a horse class. The horse judging advanced team had to also give reasons on a class.

These contests allow students the chance to practice evaluating an animal and then communicating their evaluations orally through reasons. CDE’s create an opportunity for students to practice numerous transferable skills like public speaking.

In the advanced livestock judging division, Osceola Big Chief FFA won first place out of 29 teams. In the individual scoring, Carter Wilken received third place. All the advanced team members scored within the top 20 out of 100 participants in the advanced division. In the novice division, Osceola received 10th out of 77 teams. Noah Denney was Osceola’s top novice out of 245 participants.

In the horse judging advanced division, Osceola received ninth out of 14

teams. The top horse judger was Hayley Gilbert. In the novice division, Hollie Miler was the only member and she represented our chapter very well.

Osceola’s vet science team was honored to receive first place for the second year in a row. The vet science CDE consists of examining a fetal pig, demonstrate taking medicine out of a bottle, taking a written exam and other veterinary type demonstrations. The top vet science individual for Osceola was Alyssa Jackson.

The livestock judging teams are excited to be traveling to Maryville, Missouri, in October to compete in Northwest Missouri State University’s livestock judging contest.
