Iron Track Challenge Farlow, White Banquet to raise funds running for county auditor for trail system Incumbent Janice White is running against Sarah Jo Farlow in the election of Clarke County auditor.

The election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Janice M. White Tell me about yourself/ background.

I have lived and worked in Clarke County all of my life. I am married to Ed White, and we live on a farm in Liberty Township.

We have three mar- White ried children: Ryan (Heather) White, Angie (Carl) Ellis and Donnie (Carolyn) White. We have five grandchildren: Seth, Lauren, Reid, Levi and Addison.

I have served as your Clarke County auditor for the past four years and as deputy auditor for the previous 12 years (eight as first-deputy auditor).

Why are you running for this position?

I have enjoyed the challenges of the auditor’s office and serving the public. I feel the county will benefit from my knowledge, experience, professional manner and ability to carry out the many duties that our office is required to perform.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

The auditor is the commissioner of elections and the county financial officer.

Some of the other duties of the auditor are real estate and taxation manager, county registrar of voters, payroll and human resource manager, accounts payable, budget director, overseer of county plats and clerk to board of supervisors.

KSOI Radio and Osceola Chamber Main Street are hosting the fifth-annual Iron Track Challenge Banquet on Saturday, Oct. 15.

The event begins 5 p.m. at Clarke County Fairgrounds and will feature games, auctions and raffles.

Tickets for the event are $20 for adults or two for $30 if purchased at the same time and $5 for children and are available for purchase at the Osceola Chamber Main Street office or at the door on the day of the event.

Adults are encouraged to bring their identification, as they get a bottomless cup

for beer or soda at the event.

Some of the prizes available at the event include a four-hopper pass from Disney, Green Bay Packers autographed football, two reserved tickets to a St. Louis Cardinals game, Iowa State University women’s basketball tickets and numerous gift cards.

“About four years ago, we were looking for a fall event to do more of a recognition of the outdoors,” said Derek Lumsden, executive director of Osceola Cham- Lumsden ber Main

Street. “The first couple of years was geared toward hunting and fishing. Then, we decided money would be better spent if we could better figure out a way to channel it into a local project.”

After discussing options with the city of Osceola, the decision was made to put the money toward a community-trail system.

Trails The recently completed trail at Q-Pond Park is the first phase of the community-trail system.

“The money we raise will go toward more community trails like the one that was recently done at Q-Pond Park,” Lumsden said. “We’re trying to do

that so we have community amenities connected by trails.”

According to Osceola Park and Recreation Director Tim Riddle, 1 mile of 8-foot-wide pathway has been paved around Q-Pond Park along Clay Street heading toward the casino and then heading back to the dam.

Lumsden said exercise stations are being placed along the trail and benches may be added in the future.

“Our next phase we hope to do next year is to start where we left off at the dam and weave our way back around to the TRAILS | 4

It is a big responsibility and I feel having 16 years of experience in the auditor’s office makes me the strongest choice for Clarke County auditor. I am dedicated and committed to getting the job done efficiently and accurately.

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

If re-elected, I plan to continue running the auditor’s office with the same friendly and professional manner as I have during the past four years.

Most of the duties of the auditor’s office are complex with possible financial consequences to the county if mistakes are made. It is my mission to use my knowledge and experience to prevent this from happening. I have successfully accomplished this the past four years, with the help of quality staff.

If re-elected, I will continue to dedicate the time and effort to successfully fulfill my duties as your Clarke County auditor.

Sarah Farlow Tell me about yourself/ background.

I graduated college in 2001 with my associate degree in accounting/business management.

I started w o r k i n g Farlow for the Des Moines Register for two years where I did auditing, billing and accounts payable.

In 2003, I started working for the Clarke County Auditor’s Office working with real estate, accounts payAUDITOR | 4

After the late Fred Diehl died on Sept. 12, Osceola Mayor Thomas Kedley wanted to find a way to honor the former Osceola mayor and carry on his legacy.

Kedley initially planned to have Osceola’s police officers and firefighters present at Diehl’s funeral with their police cruisers and fire engines.

“I felt like that wasn’t enough. Fred was Osceola for 18 years. He gave his sweat and tears for this community, did a lot to progress it forward and SINGLE COPY PRICE: $1.00

Then, Kedley realized that as mayor, he has the power to make holidays within city limits.

Kedley proclaimed Aug. 24 – Diehl’s birthday – as Mayor Diehl Day within Osceola city limits.

After speaking with Diehl’s wife, Ann, Kedley learned Diehl enjoyed attending DIEHL | 4

Moose” and is a take-off of the old Abbott and Costello scary movies. “Ten Little Puritans,” BOOB Girls VII and BOOB GIRLS VIII: “Learning to Love Willie” has just been released. All the books have laugh-out-loud components.

The first book will premiere on stage in Omaha later this year as “The BOOB Girls: The Musical.”

“I have a soapbox in the books,” Johnson said. “I think older women, the seasoned Nancy Drews in our lives, are beautiful and not just spiritually or emotionally but physically. Just look at us. Our faces are chiseled by tears and laughter. Our hair is blown thin and white by winds of experience and there is so much knowledge and wisdom in our heads, we can’t hold it all so it trickles down through the rest of our bodies and that’s why we get thicker as we age.”

One Burned Out Old Broad who was a BOOB Girl fan was comedian Phyllis Diller. Seven years ago, Johnson received a card.

“It had a bright red stiletto on the front and inside it simply

said, ‘Thank you for writing this delightful book. Phyllis Diller.’

Believe me, I checked the address and it was Hollywood,” Johnson said. “The next morning I wrote to her and asked her to endorse the books. She wrote back right away and said, ‘Use these words. The BOOB Girls are the GOOD Girls.’ It’s on the cover of every book.”

Will there be a ninth BOOB Girls adventure?

“Definitely,” Johnson said.

Characters in the books are characters indeed. Maggie Patten is a retired rancher from the Sandhills of western Nebraska, Hadley Joy Morris-Whitfield is a retired socialite, Dr. Robinson Leary a retired black professor and Mary Rose McGill represents mature housewives.

New BOOB Girls, including a spy and a gypsy, appear in the books as well as a retired homicide detective named Marge Aaron.

“Say it fast and it’s margarine, so she’d butter be good,” Johnson quipped. “The comedy-mysteries show us there is life after retirement and laughter can be found, even

The BOOB Girls: The Burned Out Old Broads at Table 12 They may be old and they may be burned out here and there physically, but four retired wacky widows are coming to your community.

Fictional characters in comedy-mystery novels who meet daily at Table 12 in Meadow Lakes Retirement Community, the “girls” will bring their Table 12 to the Osceola Public Library 7 p.m. Oct. 11. The series is being made into a musical by two Omaha composers and being pitched as a television series called “Table 12” in Los Angeles.

Joy Johnson of Omaha will present a program about her books, jokes and characters.

There are eight books in the series: “The BOOB Girls: The Burned Out Old Broads at Table 12,” “BOOB Girls II: Lies, Spies and Cinnamon Rolls,” “BOOB Girls III: Sandhills and Shadows” and “BOOB Girls IV: Murder at Meadow Lakes.” Book five is “The Secret of the Red Cane,” in honor of all women who grew up with Nancy Drew who is 80-years-old now and a BOOB Girl herself. BOOB Girls VI, is titled “From the Eye of the

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

in widowhood. All the BOOB Girls are both - retired and widowed.”

The author, a humorist and international speaker has one wish for her audience – to “laugh so hard, tears run down your leg.”

Prior to writing the series, Johnson co-founded Centering Corporation, North America’s oldest and largest bereavement resource center, along with her late husband, Dr. Marvin Johnson, and was also founder of Ted E. Bear Hollow, Omaha area’s center for grieving children. She was an internationally recognized speaker on grief before writing the novels. She is also a native Iowan, being born and raised in Creston, where she learned to write by working in high school and college on the local newspaper, the Creston News Advertiser.

“Laughter is not a defensive mechanism,” she says, “it’s an offensive mechanism. We can attack our grief and sorrows with a good laugh. And as one of the characters says, ‘Laughter is exercise. It’s jogging on the inside.’”

New weight-loss group to hold meetings on Mondays

A new Monday night meeting is starting 7:30 p.m. Monday at Lamoni Community Center, 108 S. Chestnut, in Lamoni.

To determine if you might be interested in joining, the following set of questions may be helpful.

Is food a problem for you?

This series of questions may help you determine if you are a compulsive eater: 1. Do I eat when I’m not hungry, or not eat when my body needs nourishment?

other end where we dropped off at Clarke Street,” Riddle said. “When that portion is complete, there should be approximately 2 miles of paved pathway there.”

Once that phase is complete, Riddle hopes to add several inner loops at Q-Pond Park in order to add more distance of trails for people to utilize.

Another goal is to connect with the Hembry Pathway that runs by the Osceola Family Aquatic Center.

“We’d like to connect with the school up Fillmore Street,” Riddle said. “It’d be nice to be able to tie various parks together and the Depot, so if somebody wanted to take a walk on the pathway to see everything they could, you’d catch most of the parks in the city.”

Riddle said a long-term goal is to have the Osceola trail system connect into the Raccoon River Trail system to the north.

The second half of the trail at Q-Pond Park will be poured this upcoming spring and summer.

Beyond that, Riddle said

baseball games on his birthday and also enjoyed public service.

“I figured why not make an Osceola holiday and call it Mayor Diehl Day?” Kedley said. “On that day, you are supposed to go out and do public service within Osceola city limits or go to a baseball game or play baseball. Anything that celebrates America’s pastime or making your community better is what we want you do that day.”

Osceola City Administrator/Clerk Ty Wheeler said it is a fitting way to honor Diehl for his 18 years of service to the city as mayor.

“He was a champion of Osceola,” Wheeler said. “He dedicated a lot of years to public service. I think it’s a Wheeler great tribute.”

the project will be taken year by year, completing as much as possible with the funds raised.

“From a park and rec standpoint, we hate to hear about people on the couch,” Riddle said. “We like to see people out utilizing (the trails). I’d be remiss if I didn’t say this wouldn’t be possible without Osceola Chamber Main Street and Clarke County Development Corporation, and the city itself has really stepped up here in the past few years toward this. This has finally become a reality after having this drawn up on my desk for 20 years.”

Lumsden said many local and area businesses support the initiative.

“It shows a lot of community impact that people have donated and then to have that money put back into the community trails,” Lumsden said. rience I received from working in the auditor’s office for 10 years where I worked with every aspect of the auditor’s office and worked with each office as needed to better serve the residents of Clarke County.

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

If elected, my goal for the auditor’s office is to make sure we are compliant with the code of Iowa and to make sure that the residents of Clarke County have access to the information they need in a friendly and knowledgeable environment.

One of Diehl’s lasting impacts on Osceola was the work he did to pave Diehl more than 100 city blocks.

“Fred changed this city forever with the amount of infrastructure, specifically paved roads, that he pushed to see built,” Wheeler said.

“The community and how it looks now versus 25 years ago is vastly different because of him. It’s going to be like that forever now.”

It’s that legacy Kedley hopes to preserve with the citywide holiday in Diehl’s honor.

“Fred was one of the greater leaders we’ve had in Osceola,” Kedley said.

“Fred was a single continuity. We were trying to symbolize Fred and his devotion to the city. That’s something we want to honor and instill in all of our citizens is keep them thinking about leadership and public pride.”

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

BACK IN TIME A typical day on Bessie No. 4 1953 – Fun, courtesy and all around good will are the makings of a busload of happy “high-schoolers” every morning and evening.

Bus No. 4, driven by good-natured Charles Lamb, is typical.

Mr. Lamb leaves Osceola about 6:30 a.m. every morning (yawn), heads east on Highway 34 and stops 4 miles out for his first sleepy-eyed passenger, Carol Gardner.

Then south, north; and back to the highway he collects quiet Evart King and two neat little tricks, Joan and Bonnie Sheesley. To the east – another early morning guest,

Anita Diehl. Goal, Ottawa! A hearty laugh perks the early downers when blond-haired, full-of-fun Sharon Horton gets on.

Watch out! That’s just Peggy Frizzell zooming to the third seat from the front to save for her cousin and pal, Mary Manley.

One, two – no, three of them! That’s Condon Clark and his twin brothers, Roger and Roland.

“Oh you about ran over me, Mr. Lamb.” Would you know her? No other than Betty Blackburn.

Ottawa at last! Here red-haired but mild-tempered Mary Ann Evans and Karen, old-juniorclass play-herself Martin

ascend the steps. Things are pretty lively by this time.

To the north now, Wilbert and Laura Smith climb aboard. Mary Manley fills the seat saved by cousin Peggy Frizzell.

Next, the little Miss that is allergic to two-toned green Fords, Sue Powell.

Ron Henry, who seems most unwilling to be left only a front seat, takes his place. Here another comes, big-smile and all.

That’s Harley Pippin.

What’s this? Four feet stepping out of a pickup.

Oh yes, that’s neat, trim and happy Norma Johnson and good-natured, fun-loving Joyce West.

What a life! Old Bessie No. 4, as it is known, is slowly heading for town.

Then, “Hi everybody!” is heard from sparkling all-over “Marg” Hoffman.

Now, where are we? Texas? No, it’s just Phil “rideem-cowboy” Townsend and “live-em-up-and-be happy” Dick Griffin. Just one more and then Bessie No. 4 will be loaded. Yes, here he comes, Marvin Blanchard. Between Marvin and Sharon “giggles” Horton it’s a really lively trip.

Ah, school, what a lovely sight! Quickly all are out. The journey is ended with everyone in high spirits for the day.

that they put into it, have a voice in the election process,” said Iowa State Sen. Amy Sinclair, R-District 14.

On presidential election years, the attention gets drawn away from local government, but Sinclair said local events to support candidates and having quality names on the ballot for local government is an important step in the political process.

“I am such an advocate for local government; I started political life as a county supervisor,” Sinclair said. “Local government is the government they come into the most contact with, and so to have good, solid people who share your values at that local level, to me, is more important even than the state or certainly the national level.”

Dr. Christopher Peters is using the final month to extend his recognition as he looks to challenge incumbent U.S. Congressman Dave Loebsack, D-District 2.

“It is a ground game from here on out and we really have been that from the very beginning,” Peters said. “We are running a less conventional campaign, but it is an oldtimey campaign, so getting to local events, door knocking and phone calling is critical.”

Peters entered the race in March. The stop in Osceola marked his 23rd county visited in the 24-county district. He plans to reach all 24 and revisit as many as possible

Amy Sinclair, R-District 14, auctions off a pie with the contributions marked to support the Puppy Jake Foundation Saturday night at the Clarke County Republican Central Committee Pie Auction Fundraiser.

before the election.

“I think people enjoy meeting the candidate ... or their family, or volunteers going out and knocking on their behalf; they feel that is a little more real and something more tangible they can relate to,” Peters said.

All the candidates echoed to not let the national race discourage individuals from voting, as the neglect to vote carries implications well beyond who the next president will be.

“We have tons of great local candidates and we want to make sure peo-

ple get out and support those local candidates,” said Iowa State Rep. Joel Fry, R-District 27. “If we are not out and engaged in those elections, we are missing the boat on those who govern closest to us and have the greatest impact and influence.”

NEW VIRGINIA

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

Kam thought he’d be so happy now that he had the “perfect job.”

Six months into working for the new company and he’d already received his first promotion. What could be wrong with that?

And yet, as he sat next to his favorite aunt at a family gathering, she sensed that all was not so great with her young nephew, so she asked, “Kam, how are you doing? Congratulations on that promotion – I’m so proud of you!”

The expression on his face told Aunt Betty a lot, none of it good.

Later in the evening, Kam pulled his Aunt Betty aside. “I just don’t know what to do. These people I work for, my bosses, sure aren’t who I thought they were. I’m seeing a lot more now than I ever wanted to. But I wanted this promotion so much. The money means Jamie and I can start the family we’ve wanted.

Before, we couldn’t afford to. But I just don’t know now.”

“Wow, Kam, that’s a tough one. So what you got isn’t quite everything you asked for, is that what you’re saying?”

“Aunt Betty, I thought all I wanted was this new job.

It seemed so perfect. I guess I just didn’t see…didn’t hear…what people kept telling me. This promotion, well, it was supposed to set me up for a great future.”

Betty smiled. “Perfect? Lots of things can seem that way at first, Kam, and it’s so easy to be blind to things we don’t want to see, deaf to things we don’t want to hear.”

“Yeah, well, the ‘big boss’ told me if I didn’t like it I could just ‘step out’ and go someplace else. But what they’re doing is wrong. People are getting hurt.

I’m really not comfortable being part of that. The more I think about it, maybe his ‘step out’ is really a huge ‘step up’ for me. I just don’t know. What a mess!”

Aunt Betty put her arm around Kam and gave him a hug. “Kam, often when I’ve ‘stepped out’ in faith, following God’s leading, I’ve discovered that I’m really ‘stepping up’ to a new, brighter future, even though I didn’t see it at first. I really believe it’ll be that way for you too. I can just feel it. And Kam…” “Yes?” “I’m so very proud of you. You’re asking the right questions, and God’s going to make a wonderful difference in this world through you. I’m certain.”

Kam did ‘step out’ of that job. His friends thought he was crazy to pass up all the pay, benefits and prestige of being the youngest CFO (chief financial officer) in the city. Jamie worried about how they’d make it financially, and if they’d ever be able to afford to start a family.

Aunt Betty was so right! Just three months later, Kam got a call. Would he be interested in being a can-

TRURO

didate for a lead accounting position with a national corporation? Wow! He’d never even applied for the job, but he soon discovered that he’d built a solid reputation for integrity and honest because he’d ‘stepped out.’

Stepping out’ really was a huge ‘step up’ – literally!

Jesus had worked a lot of miracles among the people, but they were still not willing to have faith in him.

Even then, many of the leaders put their faith in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone about it.

The Pharisees had already given orders for the people not to have anything to do with anyone who had faith in Jesus. And besides, the leaders liked praise from others more than they liked praise from God. (John 12:37, 42-43) Aunt Betty affirmed what Kam already knew. The praise and esteem of God is much more valuable, bigger and longer lasting than any human praise could ever be.

He had seen Christ at work in the lives of those he knew, and he put that belief into action.

It wasn’t easy. Those three months without a job were some of the longest he’d experienced in his whole life.

Resigning two weeks after receiving what should have been a dream promotion was one of the hardest things he’d ever done, but a year later when his old company was charged and convicted of serious financial crimes, he saw exactly where he’d have been ‘stepping’ if he’d stayed – and it wouldn’t have been pretty.

New WIC clinic available in Murray beginning Oct. 13 A new clinic location for Women, Infant and Children (WIC) is now available each month to help serve the participants in the Murray area.

The first clinic is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13, and will be generally held the second Thursday of each month at the

Church of Christ, 430 Third St., in Murray.

The new clinic is in response to the growing number of participants in this area, according to Karla Hynes, program director for MATURA Action Corporation’s maternal, child and adolescent health and WIC. “The clinics we hold each

While the clinic is scheduled each month, it is best to call for an appointment, according to Hynes.

“We want to make sure you bring all the necessary information with you and sometimes our schedule can change due to a holidays,” Hynes said. “We are also

getting into the season when winter weather can change our plans. It is best to give us a call and make an appointment.”

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Bible-reading marathon planned in Osceola A historical event is taking place all across Iowa that will give everyone an opportunity to publicly “magnify” the inspired Word of God. We will read the Bible out loud with no microphones from Genesis through Revelation at the Clarke County Courthouse bandstand, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11. Bibles will be provided, but feel free to bring your own to read from.

On April 26, Gov. Terry Branstad signed a proclamation encouraging all Iowans to join in the historical Iowa 99 County Bible Reading Marathon to take place in front of all 100 courthouses. Furthermore, he encouraged all individuals and families in Iowa to read through the Bible on a daily basis each year.

Many volunteers will be needed, and people from every city in the county are invited to participate including adults, children, students, businessmen and government and state officials. We will need to fill 80 hours of reading with 30-minute time slots and people who will pray for this marathon. Several can read at the same time, so come as a family or bring friends. This is a great opportunity for youth groups to come read together.

Multiple time slots may be filled.

Together we will lay a foundation in Iowa, honor

The last station was focused on agriculture classes and showed an example of a microscopic soil organism that the plant science class found during their studies.

The freshman class was very respectful and well mannered during the event and left the gym area easy to clean. Osceola FFA officers thanks Clarke students for cooperating and

being polite, and thanks the Clarke kitchen staff, Clarke Booster’s Club and Osceola FFA Alumni for their support in making this event a success.

Under the provisions of Chapter 6B of the Iowa Code, a governmental body which proposes to acquire agricultural land under power of eminent domain for a public improvement project is required to give notice of intent to commence the project to all owners of such agricultural land whose properties may be acquired in whole or in part for the project.

1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT. The project, tentatively identified as CLARKE COUNTY RESERVOIR PROJECT (Athe project@ or Aproject@) consists of construction of a water reservoir, lake, or surface water drinking source, for the purpose of providing a public water supply for the City of Osceola and other cities in Clarke County and areas served by Southern Iowa Rural Water Association. The reservoir will contain approximately 789 surface acres. Total land area for the project is approximately 2,046 acres for the reservoir and all ancillary uses including required buffer areas, and required wildlife habitat. The project area is located within sections 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, T73N, R26W, Clarke County, approximately four miles northwest of the City of Osceola in the Squaw Creek watershed. The project includes relocation of some roadways.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the above identified owners of agricultural land that the Clarke County Reservoir Commission will consider authorizing the commencement of the project.

2.

PRIVATE PROPERTY MAY BE ACQUIRED BY PURCHASE OR CONDEMNATION. If the project is approved by the Clarke County Reservoir Commission, then the Clarke County Reservoir Commission will be required to acquire property for the project improvements. Upon review of Clarke County property records, it appears that agricultural land owned by the persons identified in Exhibit A may have to be acquired in whole or in part for the project. The Clarke County Reservoir Commission will attempt to purchase the required agricultural land by good faith negotiations, and it may condemn those properties which it is unable to purchase. The proposed location of the public improvement comprising the project is shown on a conceptual drawing of the project which is now on file in the office of the Clarke County Reservoir Commission, located at 609 New York Avenue, Creston, Iowa, 50801, and is available for public inspection.

3.

PROCESS TO DECIDE WHETHER TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT AND WHETHER TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY; ACTION REQUIRED TO PROCEED WITH PROJECT; OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT. In making the decision to proceed with the project, fund the final site-specific design for the project, or to acquire or condemn, if necessary, all or a portion of property or interest in the property needed for the public improvement, the Clarke County Reservoir Commission is required to hold a public hearing. The Clarke County Reservoir Commission shall conduct a public hearing at Clarke County Fairgrounds Event Center 2070 W. McLane St. Osceola, IA 50213 Date: October 26, 2016 Time: 6:30 p.m. for the purpose of giving persons interested in the proposed project the opportunity to present their views regarding the project, and regarding the proposed acquisition of property for the project. In order for the Clarke County Reservoir Commission to proceed with the above described project and commence the acquisition of property for the project, the Clarke County Reservoir Commission will be required to approve the project and authorize acquisition of private property for the project by resolution. The Clarke County Reservoir Commission is scheduled to consider adoption of the resolution initiating the above described project following the public hearing.

If the project is approved by the Clarke County Reservoir Commission, an appraiser retained by the Clarke County Reservoir Commission will determine the compensation to be paid for property or property interests that are needed for the project. The Clarke County Reservoir Commission will offer no less than the appraised value and will attempt to purchase only the needed property by good faith negotiations. If the Clarke County Reservoir Commission is unable to acquire properties needed for the project by negotiation, the Clarke County Reservoir Commission will acquire those properties by condemnation.

4.

Persons desiring further information regarding the proposed public improvement project or the impact on their property identified above may contact: Name of Contact Person: David Beck Address of Contact Person: Southern Iowa RC&D P.

Clarke’s surge continues in Friday win Indians top Albia for third straight victory n

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

OSCEOLA— Three weeks ago, Clarke’s football team exited the field in Osceola demoralized after a tough loss to Centerville.

It could’ve been easy for the Indians to pack it up, chalk it up to a lost season.

But Clarke has dug deep ever since.

They dug even deeper, finding the will and resolve to pull out another thrilling win Friday night.

Clarke’s offense delivered in overtime, then made a game-saving defensive stand to top Albia 30-22 in overtime Friday in Class 2A District 6.

It was Clarke’s third win in a row. The Indians have now won three in a row for the first time since 2012.

“It’s phenomenal,” said senior Brandyne Olin.

The team has gelled the past three weeks.

“We’re on a roll right now,” Olin said. “We’ve come together more than any Clarke team in forever.”

The team has caught fire at the right time, momentum they’ll look to keep going into the final three weeks of the season.

“We could be one of the greats of all time,” Olin said.

Highly rated Bulldogs race past Mustangs

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

MURRAY — Bedford has steadily climbed up the rankings this season in Eight-player football, moving up to the fourth position this week.

The Bulldogs, a perennial power in 11-man, showed Murray they’ve made the adjustment to the Eight-player game quite well.

Bedford jumped out to a 50-14 halftime lead and cruised to a 64-20 win.

The Bulldogs were a traditional power in 11-man before shifting down to Eight-player this season.

“They’ve got a great coaching staff with dual head coaches that have got their boys to really buy into the weight room,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton.

“They’re dedicated in the offseason summer workouts. They get to some camps. They have a large number of participants.

Roadrunner boy harriers take first at Clarke meet

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

OSCEOLA — Interstate 35’s boys cross country team had not won a meet in eight seasons heading into the 2016 campaign.

It broke that streak earlier this season with a win at Pleasantville.

The Roadrunners waited considerably less time to win again.

Behind Dominic Cresta’s individual championship and five in the top 18, the Roadrunners claimed the victory at the Clarke Invitational on Sept. 27.

“We were pretty excited,” said Interstate 35 coach Desman Oakley. “Getting two in a three week span is pretty nice.”

The team’s confidence has grown exponentially.

“It boosts it a lot,” Oakley said.

Their confidence gives them hope they can challenge a team like Nodaway Valley later in the season at the Pride of Iowa Conference meet.

“Running with those Nodaway Valley guys, we’re running against some of the best in the whole state, regardless of class, they’re so deep,” Oakley said. “A lot of times, that’s our best competition. That will be better than the competition we’ll see at the state qualifying meet.”

Interstate 35’s younger runners contributed greatly to the team’s success.

“We have three freshmen in the top five: Colton Oser, Trey Jackson and Wyatt Fitzgerald,” Oakley said.

The freshmen have made an immediate impact.

“They’re really coming along,” Oakley said. “Sometimes with young guys, you don’t know if their bodies are going to break down or shape up. They’re shaping up.”

Cresta took advantage of not having to run against the powerful runners from Class 1A top-rated Nodaway Valley.

“Usually he’s fighting with the Nodaway guys,” Oakley said. “He saw an opportunity without those guys and he really took care of business.”

Cresta has been provid-

“We could go to the playoffs.”

The turnaround has sparked the team’s confidence that anything they want to do can happen.

“The way we’re playing right now, we have so much momentum and confidence in ourselves I feel like we can’t be beat,” Olin said.

Clarke can look to its 14-6 homecoming win over Chariton as the turning point.

“That changed when we had our first Homecoming win in I don’t know how many years,” Olin said.

“That got us rolling.”

The Indians kept the momentum going in a 28-21 win at Davis County two Fridays ago.

“Once we went down to Davis County and we started punching them in the mouth and we made a statement early, the guys started believing in ourselves,” Olin said.

Clarke was able to finally pull out a win over a perennial power in Albia. It was Clarke’s first win over the Blue Demons in many years.

Clarke’s win Friday left the team on cloud nine, especially because of how it happened by winning in overtime.

As sweet as the homecoming win was, Olin said Friday’s win was even sweeter.

“This is better than homecoming,” he said. “To win three in a row, beating a team that’s beaten me all three years of my high school career, this is one of the best feelings in my life.

I don’t think it’s going to get much better than this. I’ll remember this for a lifetime.”

Garrett Moore scored the go-ahead touchdown in overtime on fourth and goal from the 1-yard line.

The play was initially supposed to be a pass from Moore to Olin on the outside.

Albia’s defense nearly blew the play up in the backfield. Clarke quarterback Andy Hurtado barely got the pitch off in time to Moore. Moore then improvised and snuck through a hole in the Blue Demons’ defense.

“He made it happen,” said Clarke assistant coach Aaron O’Tool.

Clarke’s defense needed to come up with a stop. The Indians tackled the Blue Demons for a 5-yard loss on first down. Albia was stopped for no gain on second down. On third down, the Indians batted down a pass in the end zone. After a timeout, the Indians batted down a pass on fourth down to seal the win.

Clarke’s students standing a few feet away in the north end zone, the fans in the stands roared their approval.

“That last stand was the fans and the adrenaline being in that position,” O’Tool said.

Clarke’s defense made a number of timely plays throughout.

“Coach (Brian) Reece does a phenomenal job with them,” O’Tool said. “Our defense was playing phenomenal. I know we gave up 22 points, but our offense put them in tough situations.”

On the last couple plays, the passes seemed to hang in their air longer.

“I think my heart stopped three or four times in that last stand,” O’Tool said. “It was pretty awesome.”

Clarke botched a snap on fourth down with a minute to go. Albia marched inside the Clarke 30-yard line, but the Indians’ defense held.

The Blue Demons missed a long field goal wide right, sending the game to overtime.

The Indians jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. The Blue Demons countered with 14 unanswered points in the first half to lead 14-6 at halftime.

Clarke countered in the third quarter to tie it at 1414.

The Indians went back up 22-14 early in the fourth quarter on a pass from Moore to Olin early in the fourth quarter Albia took the ensuing kickoff to near midfield.

A few plays later, the Blue Demons found the end zone for the score. The two-point conversion was good to knot the game at 22-22.

“We were proud of the way they stuck with it,” O’Tool said. “They could’ve dropped it.”

Instead, the Indians rallied.

Support continues to growth within the Clarke community for this team.

“We made it happen.

That’s awesome,” O’Tool said. “We took advantage of the situation. We made it happens. The guys got three

district games in a row. The community is starting to jump on board.”

Changing the culture has been a key, O’Tool said.

“It’s tough being a losing program,” O’Tool said.

“You’ve got to find ways to make it happen.”

Make it happen the Indians did. Moore was 3-of-5 passing with a touchdown and 49 yards. Nathan Bair led the Indians with 230 yards on 39 carries. Gabe Crawford had three catches for 30 yards.

Olin caught four passes for 59 yards and two touchdowns.

Olin had 19 tackles on defense. That effort moved him into a tie for second with Rich Gordon in 1974 and Tony Pointer in 1974 for most tackles in a game defensively. Crawford had 14 tackles. Nick McVey added eight tackles.

UP NEXT — Clarke faces a stiff test at Central Lee this Friday. The Hawks (4-2, 3-1) defeated Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont 31-6 Friday.

The Indians know they can make a statement with a win over the Hawks.

“If we take out Central Lee, people are going to take us serious and we’ll be legit,” Olin said.

MURRAY: CONT. FROM | 1B

be successful. They’re going to do some things other teams can’t do. Winning games brings success.

They’re going to keep that tradition going.”

Even in a lopsided loss, Fulton was pleased with how his team competed.

“We were able to match up with the number four team in the state for quite awhile,” Fulton said. “That’s encouraging as we finish up the year in district play.”

Fulton saw glimpses of what his team could do.

Sustaining the good plays throughout a series was a bit of challenge.

“We were able to do a lot of the things we wanted to do, but we couldn’t do it consistently,” Fulton said.

“We’d match them with two great plays on offense or defense and on the third play we’d take a step back and put ourselves in a tough position. Consistency’s got to be the key moving forward.”

Bedford’s ground attack led by senior Sam McMillin did waht they wanted at times.

“Number four is a great running back,” Fulton said.

“He sees the field well. He

has tremendous athleticism.

We would have him wrapped up for a couple yard loss and he’d make us miss, then hit a cutback lane.”

The Bulldogs offensive line often bulldozed the Mustangs defensive line.

“We struggled up front trying to control the line of scrimmage,” Fulton said.

“They played pretty well in the first half. They did a lot of things they wanted to do.”

Murray’s retooled offense, which was without the services of running back Jack Jones, moved the ball well at times, just not enough to keep up with Bedford.

“Reece Held did an excellent job at quarterback running the offense,” Fulton said.k “He stepped up in the pocket executing the game plan.”

UP NEXT — Murray (2-4, 0-4) is on the road Friday at Lamoni. The Demons (3-3, 1-3) fell to Wayne 20-14.

“We’re really looking forward to playing them,” Fulton said. “We’re looking forward to renewing the rivalry with them. They have a well-balanced team. They’re fairly young. They bring a lot of talent to the field.

They run a lot of dive option.

They have a healthy passing attack. They’re similar to us athletically. “
