Branching out at Arbor Valley Lake Green housing development sees progress

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Take Highway 34 West out past the Clarke County Fairgrounds, hang a left at 205th Street, then follow the road around to Idaho Place where you take the first available right. Soon, you’ll arrive at Vintner Homes at Arbor Valley Lake, the tobe gated, green housing development started by Bud Jones, JB Hamilton and Alan Lundquist in the early 2000s. According to project manager, Paula McClaflin, construction at the lake is finally starting to take off.

“We just started on the second house.” McClaflin said. “Next year, there’s three more houses going up.”

The progress is important as the city won’t pave the roads between the development and the rest of

Osceola until the area has enough tax revenue to support upkeep. As it is technically within city limits, Arbor Valley Lake already has city water and sewer lines. There are also plans in the works to pave 205th and Idaho Place out to the development.

“The Arbor Valley road proposal is contingent upon cumulative property valuations,” said City Administrator Ty Wheeler.

“There needs to be enough property developed in Arbor Valley to generate the property taxes necessary to fund a road project. That could come in the form of three huge homes, 10 smaller homes or something in between.”

Given the homes currently going up around the lake, paired with the improved value of lakeshore property, that could be sooner than later.

development goes bankrupt. Ours has always had good leadership.”

Building a lake turned out to be a monumental challenge. McClaflin doesn’t think it’s a process you can really understand until it’s under way. For instance, the Arbor Valley Lake site is home to an endangered prairie orchid, a rare species of legless lizard and Indiana bats, all of which required special treatment.

“Iowa DNR, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife want to know what are you doing, and if you take a tree down, why did you do it,” said McClaflin. “Lets say you take an acre of trees out, so we had to put 30 acres of trees back. Then you have to monitor them for a period of five years.

“I think a lot of times the

On Alert: Keeping Clarke County safe

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

“I hope someone at the newspaper will find out why Highway 152 was left in the shape it was in, as far as the ice and snow,” said a caller, Monday, Jan. 17. “It’s a wonder someone wasn’t killed.”

While Clarke County road crews go to great lengths to mark when roads are closed, travelers can slip through

the cracks, especially when they’re in-transit. It’s just one reason new alert services are so important.

“Clarke County has a service called Alert IA. It is a state-funded Emergency Management program that allows me to send messages out via text, email, voice or pager to anyone whose number is listed in the phone book or anyone who voluntarily signs up,” said Interim Emergency Management Coordinator Jessica Conley,

noting there are currently 3111 enrolled in the service.

Residents can visit http:// entry.inspironlogistics.com/ clarke_ia/wens.cfm to sign up for the service.

The Osceola Police Department sends alerts out over a similar system called Nixle, but the messages shared by Alert IA are a bit different.

Osceola, Iowa, United States (50213)

Susan Scrivner and her daughters, Rebecca and Hattie Scrivner, attended the School Choice Week rally Wednesday, Jan. 25, in Des Moines. The family is one of thousands in Iowa benefitting from alternatives to traditional public school, but it’s not as different as some might think.

“It’s public school,” said Scrivner of the Iowa Connections Academy, an online program with tests, teachers and video sessions involving classmates. “It’s kind of like a regular class.

They just do it through the internet.”

The Scrivners began the online school program when their daughter ran into bullying problems the school couldn’t solve. However, now they have new

reasons to continue. A job change for her husband meant moving her children to Illnois.

“You don’t realize how good it is in Iowa until you look into somewhere else,” said Scrivner. “It has made me truly appreciate education choices.”

For Iowans, that included traditional and online public schools, parochial, charter and homeschooling, said Scrivner.

Open enrollment in online public school Iowa Connections Academy is somewhat different from other school choices.

While most options aren’t publicly funded, the academy is available to public school students free-ofcharge.

The academy is only available through the CAM Community School District,

right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. We were getting all of our guidance from the NRCS. When we finally got our permit to get work started and cleaned out all those scraggly corners, we found out we have all these other entities that we have to answer to,” said McClaflin, noting the expense of just the bat studies swelled from $8,000 the first year to $17,000.

“We had some pretty stiff rules to go by, but we made it.

We got all our permits.”

A natural berm surrounding the lake is both environmentally friendly and asthetically pleasing.

“The berm itself is kind of a big barrier all around the lake, but it has a flat top so you can walk around the lake. We have very, very clean water out here,” said McClaflin.

Clearing up confusion In the late ‘90s, the Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC) considered potential sites for building a future water source for Osceola.

One involed three sites off of White Breast Creek. The other was the Squaw Creek Watershed. Based on evaluations from the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Iowa, the CCRC chose Squaw Creek and moved ahead with reservoir plans.

The Arbor Valley Lake developers intended to build an environmentally friendly, gated community with a spot for water recreation – and they did. The source water for the lake is a tributary that flows into White Breast Creek.

However, the two projects are not related.

Adding to the confusion is a proposal made at a CCRC

board meeting in February 2016 that Arbor Valley Lake – already under construction – be considered as a more affordable alternative to the reservoir plan. The suggestion aggravated the conflict between reservoir project supporters and landowners and muddled the details for people unfamiliar with both projects.

It was ultimately rejected due to earlier studies showing the Squaw Creek Watershed to be superior for drinking-quality water, but confusion remained.

“I’m not sure people really understand what the lake is,” said McClaflin. “Some people get upset they can’t fish there, but it’s a private lake. If you buy a lot, you can fish.”

Free land deal applies to Arbor Valley Lake The new Zero-Cost Development initiative announced by the Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC) in December should speed

up progress at Arbor Valley Lake. The plan allows developers to pick up free lots within Osceola city limits, as well as have up to 12-months’ interest paid on their construction loans. According to Bill Trickey, CCDC executive director, residents intending to build a home can bring any eligible builder to the project.

“The individual would have to decide,” said Trickey. “Is the free lot better or is the tax abatement better?”

Arbor Valley Lake lots start at $59,900 and go up from there.

“Tax abatement is a five year abatement,” McClaflin said, “I think it would be worth it to take the lot.”

The proximity of the lake does impact home value – and taxes – as McClaflin found out while building her own home at the lake.

started, initially, as an environmentally friendly development, with a private lake designed for safe and noninvasive recreation and home plans requiring, among other things, geothermal heating and cooling systems.

“We had that as a requirement in 2003. Some of the homes being built out here come to the association and ask for that to be removed and replaced with ‘high efficiency.’

Now they’ve come out with better ways of having efficiency in your house,” said McClaflin.

Today, the lake has 43 lakeshore lots and 3 offshore lots.

A homeowner’s association is in place to maintain quality standards, and the area is abundant with local wildlife.

Just 45 minutes from Des Moines, Arbor Valley Lake presents a rare opportunity for earth-conscious buyers. As An emphasis on well it should. environmental Says McClaflin, “We were living building green before anyArbor Valley Lake was one else was.”

voice their concerns.

One local landowner questioned the scope of the project. For the administration, it boils down to giving more kids more opportunities now, before construction costs get any higher and before more kids miss out.

“My background is in athletics,” said Superintendent Kevin Fiene. “We have really good athletic facilities. Right now, there isn’t a stage anywhere in this building. Those kids deserve the same opportunities.”

Questions were also raised considering the project’s future. What happens if more money is needed? What happens if plans change? If the levy is approved, small adjustments can be made down the road, according to committee members, but every portion of the project listed in the

levy must be completed. The amount of the bond is capped at $7 million, as well. The school can’t return later and ask the public for extra funds.

Residents to see no change in taxes An existing levy set to retire in June 2017 currently costs tax payers $2.23 per $1,000 in property value per year.

“That’s about a tank or two of gas per year,” said Fiene.

If the bond is approved, that levy will simply continue.

Property owners won’t see any increase in taxes over what they’ve been paying for the past 15 years, according to the superintendent. The remaining funds will come from the Secure an Advanced Vision for Education, penny Iowa sales tax fund.

Career training first The design of the building and the careful arranging that will go into keeping kids in class while work is completed requires the CTE facilities to be renovated first. Adminis-

trators visited a school in Rock Valley with an innovative 10,000 square-foot CTE space, complete with mobile workstations.

“For the most part, everything in their shop is on casters, so everything can be moved around,” said High School Principal Steve Kaster.

“Everything can be moved around. When a new project comes in, they can adjust everything in a very short amount of time.”

Even the ductwork can be modified to fit project needs.

In contrast, the current I-35 CTE spaces daily set up and tear down of essential supplies, when they can be used for projects at all. “(While visiting Rock Valley,) It doesn’t seem like 10,000 square feet of space,” said Kaster, “until you see a 12-by-10 shed being built in the middle of the facility. Our 12-by-16 is sitting outside in the cold weather. Our kids go outside and build that every single day.”

The expanded spaces would

allow students in CTE programs like woodworking and auto shop to have better options for hands-on skill development, though they aren’t expected to be an exact duplicate of those found in Rock Valley.

“Our overall goal is helping kids be college and career ready,” said Kaster, “providing an opportunity for kids who are career bound.”

Given the current layout of I-35 – and the statewide push toward CTE programs – renovations in those rooms would begin first. Completion on the new 9,360 square foot space is expected to be completed by January 2018.

DES MOINES – At the Administration’s weekly press conference Monday, Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, and State Public Defender Adam Gregg announced that the State of Iowa was recently awarded $632,765 in federal grant money to support the work of the Wrongful Conviction Division in the Office of the State Public Defender.

The creation of the Wrongful Conviction Division was announced in October of 2015, focusing initially on reviewing cases involving microscopic hair comparison, a forensic science which has been called into question in recent years by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In June of 2016, FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to all governors encouraging them to review such cas-

es in their state.

“We’re very proud of the fact that here in Iowa we have taken a proactive approach to tackling this issue, and we believe our process can serve as a model for other states to conduct their review,” said Gov. Branstad.

The federal grant funding of $632,765 was provided through the National Institute of Justice, a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice. The grant application was a joint effort led by the State Public Defender, and included the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Investigation, the Midwest Innocence Project, and the Office of Drug Control Policy as grant administrator.

“We believe this support from the U.S. Department of Justice is further validation of the great work

Stephanie Brunia’s “Thursday’s Child” opens Feb. 3 Arts from the University of Iowa in 2007. She spent a year working as a photography assistant at Meredith Corporation before enrolling in graduate school at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where she earned a Master of Fine Arts in 2012.

After accepting an offer to become a visiting instructor of photography at the University of Iowa, she moved into an old, converted storefront in Oxford that doubles as her studio. Her father, Steve, 65, makes the drive to her place, and she often visits him at his Ames home to take photographs.

In those photographs, she uses gestures to explore her anxieties about her father’s aging. In one photograph, she wraps her hair across his face -- an abstract gesture that speaks to the notion of wanting to shield and protect him while also visually obscuring him. In another image, she reaches out and softly smooths the wrinkles on his brow -- attempting to erase and undo the evidence of his aging.

“He’s always been a fixture in my life, and the awareness I felt went from knowing he is aging to seeing and feeling it,” she said.

“We were both born on a Thursday, which is totally

over the application.

our agencies have done so far, and we look forward to seeing the results of the review,” stated Lt. Gov. Reynolds.

State Public Defender Adam Gregg announced that Erica Nichols Cook is the new director of the Wrongful Conviction Division. Nichols Cook is a graduate of Drake University Law School, where she was a Public Service Scholar. She is a former staff attorney with the Illinois Innocence Project and an adjunct professor of law with Southern Illinois University. She has also worked as an Assistant Appellate Defender in Illinois, and in the Cook County Public Defender’s Office in Chicago. Gregg thanked the former director, Audrey McGinn, for her great work in helping establish the division.

Nichols Cook provided an update on the work of the Wrongful Conviction Division. In partnership with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, 184 microscopic hair comparison reports were identified in Iowa cases where an individual is still incarcerated.

From there, ninety-six cases were identified for further investigation. Nichols Cook stated that the grant funding will be helpful in supporting the Division’s work.

“We’ll use grant funding to prioritize the review of these cases, and see where the facts and the evidence lead us. If the evidence is still in existence, grant funding will allow us to submit the evidence for DNA testing. DNA testing may be able to exonerate the individual, and maybe even identify the real perpetrator.”

Art at the Cafe photo exhibit explores aging and family transitions DES MOINES – When Stephanie Brunia returned to Iowa after being away a few years, she noticed her father had aged more than other family members.

“I came back home in 2012 and there were several moments when I noticed my father was aging. That marked the beginning of a transition in our a relationship,” Brunia said. “Ultimately, that transition is the circle of love, and it’s not only having accepted care from him when I was a child but also giving care to him as he grows older and acknowledging that this person will not be there forever.”

Brunia, 32, captures those moments in “Thursday’s Child,” a collection of photographs that feature her father’s aging process and the transitional nature of their relationship. The photographs are the most recent entry in the “Art in the Cafe” exhibit series that opens with a reception 5-7 p.m. Feb. 3 through April 29 at Cafe Baratta’s in the State Historical Building, 600 E. Locust Street in Des Moines. The reception is free and open to the public.

A native of Ames, Brunia attended the University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State University before receiving a Bachelor of Fine

insignificant, but it’s those minor links that become people’s stories. And those kinds of little details became the story of us.”

In addition to “Art in the Cafe,” Brunia has exhibited at the Griffin Photography Museum, Rosalux Gallery, the Center for Fine Art Photography, and Rayko Photo Center and Musee d’Elysee in Lausanne, Switzerland.

She was one of three artists to be featured in the Des Moines Art Center’s annual 2011 Iowa Artists exhibition and was included in

the Sioux City Art Center’s 2016 SCAC Selects exhibition. Most recently, she was awarded the Iowa Arts Council Artist Fellowship.

“Art at the Cafe” is a quarterly rotating art exhibit presented by the Iowa Arts Council, State Historical Museum of Iowa and Café Baratta’s.

The Fry Times

By Joel Fry,

secutive year where actual revenue to the state will not meet the official forecast from the Revenue Estimating Conference. The House will be looking for ways to help improve the accuracy of the REC’s revenue projections in the future.

The FY17 Deappropriations bill conforms with our Budget Principles. The $25.2 million in non-recurring or one-time money is only used once and does not go to on-going expenses. This amount - $25.2 million – is reduced from the funds available for use in FY18. This eliminates the revenue from being built into the FY18 budget and keeps it as non-recurring revenue.

Within the bill, the House has given state agencies flexi-

House District 27 Representative

FY 2017 Deappropriations Bill The state is facing a $117 million shortfall in revenues to maintain the spending levels approved by the 2016 Legislature. To fix this problem, the 2017 Legislature needs to reduce spending levels so they do not exceed revenue.

The state cannot spend money it does not have. When the Legislature adjourned in April, total spending was less than available revenue. Since then revenue has dropped creating the need to reduce costs to maintain a balanced budget and prevent a tax increase.

FY 2017 is the fourth con-

bility to implement the cuts in the best way possible for their agency. This will help agencies to avoid program disruptions that impact the public.

While the bill includes reduction to state universities, the amount in the bill is less than the amount in the Governor’s proposal. The president of the Board of Regents has told the media that this reduction will not result in a tuition increase.

As Iowa’s welfare reform caseload continues to decline, spending on the Family Investment Program has also declined. This allowed the state to use federal funding on other programs, which reduces the reductions to other DHS programs.

The House looked at the possibility at reducing the fis-

cal impact of tax credits to the budget. The non-partisan Legislative Services Agency said that any changes to tax credits would have Joel Fry little to no positive fiscal impact to the FY 2017 budget.

‘Hidden Figures,’ Rated PG Review by HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

The story behind “Hidden Figures” is fascinating, even more so because it is based in fact.

During the 1960s, in the South at the time of the Civil Rights Movement, there was another war being waged in America — the fight to flight.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was desperate to get a man into space and keep Russians from getting an interstellar advantage.

The Space Race is well-documented, both in fiction and factual works, but what is surprising is the role women — in particular, black women — played in the success of early Mercury and Apollo missions.

An entire division of African-American number crunchers processed data related to the space program to make these flights possible. Three of these women were instrumental

the theaters with their children. Unfortunately, the story is only loosely based on their lives.

In the movie, the three most important black women at NASA also happen to be the best of friends, carpooling to work and supporting one another through their problems.

John Glenn, made out to be the only influential astronaut of the bunch, is somehow Johnson’s biggest fan.

For a story based on the truth, there are times when “Hidden Figures” doesn’t seem that realistic.

However, that doesn’t stop the point of the movie from coming across loud and clear: Black women are smart, capable and have overcome great diversity to make significant contributions to this country.

For that alone, it’s worth watching.

Rated PG for thematic elements and some language, “Hidden Figures” runs 127 minutes and is showing from Feb. 3 - Feb. 9 at the Lyric Theater.

in determining the right coordinates, creating the right tools and figuring out the programming needed to put an American safely into orbit.

“Hidden Figures” presents Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) as three smart and determined female scientists who perservered despite facing the racist, sexist attitudes of the times.

Actors excelled at presenting the attitudes of the day, ranging from oblivious prejudice to downright nastiness. While Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) was presented as a demanding program leader who cared more about results than race, the roles of Paul Stafford (Jim Parsons) and Vivian Mitchell (Kirsten Dunst) were frustratingly authentic.

The fact that the main characters are based on real people who had a real impact on the space program is enough to get parents to

Representatives Loebsack, Jenkins Introduce Bill to Help Critical Access Hospitals WASHINGTON, D.C. – Recently, Congressman Dave Loebsack (D-IA) and Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) introduced legislation (H.R. 741) to prevent Medicare’s enforcement of unreasonable and inflexible direct supervision rules for outpatient therapy services at Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) and other small, rural hospitals. An annual extension bill has been passed into law since 2014.

“We must keep fighting to ensure all Iowans have access to high-quality health care no matter where they live,” said Congressman Dave Loebsack. “Critical Access Hospitals play an important role in rural communities by providing access to primary, emergency, and acute care services. I have visited multiple CAHs across my district that have struggled to meet the direct supervision requirement, and this legislation will provide them with certainty that they deserve.”

“Critical Access Hospitals and small hospitals are the lifeblood of rural communities,”said Congresswoman

Lynn Jenkins. “This important legislation will permanently extend the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) enforcement moratorium on its “direct supervision” rule for outpatient therapeutic services provided in CAHs and small, rural hospitals with 100 or fewer beds. I look forward to working with my colleagues to – once again – get this bipartisan bill to the President’s desk and ensure all Americans, no matter where you live, receive quality care in a timely manner.”

Examples of direct supervision rules for outpatient therapy services: Application of cast to a finger Blood transfusions Application of a splint to a finger Demonstration and/ or evaluation of a patient utilizing a nebulizer or metered dose inhaler Alcohol and/or substance abuse (other than tobacco) structured assessment and brief intervention (such as advising of health risks and counseling for 1530 mins) Pulmonary rehabilitation, including exercise of one hour per session – up to two sessions per day

Financial assistance to heat your home is available CEDAR RAPIDS – We recognize that the financial impact of energy bills during the heating season places an additional burden on families with limited incomes, which is why we’ve donated $1 million to our Hometown Care Energy Fund in Iowa.

This fund, administered through local assistance agencies, provides financial help for heating costs to income-eligible customers across our service area.

During the last heating season, Hometown Care dollars helped over 2,400 Iowa households with their energy costs.

“There is a caring spirit in the communities we serve,” said Patricia Kampling, Alliant Energy’s Chairman, President and CEO. “Funds for Hometown Care come from our company, and through the generosity of employees, retirees and customers who want to make sure their friends and neigh-

bors have a warm home” said Kampling.

Over the past year, Alliant Energy customers, employees and retirees in Iowa and Wisconsin gave more than $138,000. Alliant Energy’s additional contribution of $1 million for Iowa customers comes from shareowners and is not included in the ratescharged to utility customers.

“Individuals that receive funding from Hometown Care greatly appreciate the assistance,” said Jerry McKim, Bureau Chief of the Bureau of Energy Assistance at the Iowa Department of Human Rights. “I welcome the ongoing support of Alliant Energy helping Iowans in need.”

A change in direction

Local mom lobbies for school traffic solution

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

One local mom with children at Clarke Community Elementary has had enough with the confusing one-way signs at the school.

“I personally would like to see it closed off at the intersection,” said frustrated local mom Christy Leonard. “Kids go over there.

It’s a big safety concern.”

Since November, Leonard has been attempting to fix the road signs near the school to make conditions safer. She cites drivers going the wrong way as one of the area’s biggest dangers, however, parents have also been pulling around the parked buses instead of waiting their turns.

A ‘temporary’ solution In August 2015, the City Council was searching for solutions to traffic congestion near the school. The Clarke Community School District did not have the funds available for a traffic engineer to study the problem, so the city sought a unique solution.

From 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday, the portion of East Jackson Street that runs in front of the elementary school converts to a one-way street, running west to east.

Instead of continuing or turning down Jackson, parents are supposed to go a block north on Kossuth and circle back around on E. Dewey St. beforing turning onto Jackson to pick their children up. In theory, the change would improve the flow of traffic and prevent a buildup of traffic.

OST photo by HILARY FERRAND

Pictured is Christy Leonard, standing next to the contradictory signs at the intersection of Jackson and Dewey.

“It has definitely helped alleviate the congestion, especially in the area of the buses,” said Clarke Elementary Principal Jill Kiger.

Unfortunately, the signage at the intersection of East Jackson and East Dewey streets have introduced some of their own problems. The top sign reads, “Begin One Way,” while the bottom says, “One Way Do Not Enter...”

“But that’s exactly what people are supposed to be doing,” said Leonard. “The way it’s written now, no one should be entering either way.”

According to Leonard, the confusion leads to people ignoring all the signs and driving the wrong way down Jackson, endangering kids and other drivers.

It happens enough that the police have a hard time keeping up with correcting drivers.

According to an article in the Aug. 27, 2015 edition of the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune, Osceola Police Chief Marty Duffus made it clear at the time of the resolution the police would not

be able to direct traffic every day after school. That hasn’t stopped the department from catching flack now that traffic issues are putting people at risk.

“They’re giving out warnings instead of tickets,” said Leonard in an email to City Administrator Ty Wheeler. “While (the officer) had someone pulled over, there would be three more people coming in the wrong way.”

Safety is the biggest concern on everyone’s minds.

Determining responsibility While Clarke Community School District is legally responsible for maintaining a safe pickup area for students at the elementary school, the city is responsible for street traffic and the one-way des-

ignation.

“We don’t change directions of streets,” said Clarke Superintendent Steve Seid.

“There was some congestion about 18 months ago. We provided feedback initially, but nothing beyond that.”

In August of 2015, the city council encouraged the school district to hire a traffic engineer. At that time, there wasn’t enough need to justify the expense. Leonard said utilizing Iowa State University graduate students for a district-wide traffic study might be a potential solution.

Mixed messages Of special concern is the conflicting signage at Jackson and Dewey streets, which has been an issue for going on two years.

“Signage on the street is the city’s to take down,” said Wheeler. “Any request would have to go through the city. We would look into it further if there was concurrence between law enforcement and city officials.”

However, he said, the problem signs have been considered and changes are expected, though the date they’ll take place isn’t known. That’s a welcome relief for some parents and school officials who weren’t able to solve the problem on their own.

Congratulations

Ann!

Bair brothers have big day on mat Saturday Clarke turns sights to postseason n

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

FAIRFIELD — Clarke wrestling’s final tuneup before the postseason showed the potential is there for a big postseason for a couple of Indian wrestlers.

Nathan Bair became Clarke’s first two-time champion of the Southern Iowa Classic, claiming the title at 182 pounds.

Clarke began attending the tournament in 2006.

The Indians have had four champions at the event, with Bair having two of them.

Bair, ranked sixth in Class 2A at 182, pinned his first two opponents handily, then won by a 9-3 decision over Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont’s Austin Angle in the final.

“This has been a tough tournament and it says a lot about Nathan’s quality that he has been able to win it twice,” said Clarke coach Brian Reece.

The Indians added a runner-up finish from Jonathan Bair at 152 pounds.

Jonathan Bair advanced to the final with a 6-4 win in the semifinals over Knoxville’s Riley Spaur.

Spaur was up on Bair 12-4 earlier this year when Bair was slammed, and won when Spaur was disqualified.

“I know that Jonathan took some satisfaction in

Clarke did not have another placewinner, picking up a few pointers along the way.

“The other guys are learning what it takes to compete against quality opponents,” Reece said. “We still have a ways to go.”

Clarke won one dual during the week, edging Mount Ayr 25-24 on criteria — most first points scored.

Clarke scored eight first points to none for Mount Ayr. “This is an indication we were being aggressive and looking to score,” Reece said.

The Indians had a depleted lineup due to illness, holding several regulars out.

The Indians fell to Clarin-

da Academy, West Central Valley, Winterset and East Union.

Clarke learned an important lesson in the loss to Winterset.

“The biggest thing that we learned from the duals this week is that you have to be ready to wrestle every time you take the mat,” Reece said. “That means mentally preparing yourself before you go out. We wrestled very poorly against Winterset, but we rebounded nicely against East Union.”

UP NEXT — Clarke takes its first step in the postseason traveling to Albia for a Class 2A Section 10 Tournament. Wrestling starts at noon.

By KALEB CARTER

By RYAN KRONBERG

MELCHER-DALLAS — For about nine minutes of game action, the previously-undefeated Murray boys basketball team held its own against Class 1A third-ranked Grand View Christian in the Bluegrass Conference tournament final.

Trailing 20-17 about a minute and a half into the second quarter, the Class 1A eighth-ranked Mustangs got away from their gameplan and succumbed to a 36-9 run over the next sixplus minutes as the Thunder rolled to an 85-46 win Saturday.

Kenny Boles distributed the ball effectively early and contributed 11 points, seven rebounds and five assists to the Mustangs’ cause.

He weighed in on how the game went awry in the second quarter.

“The key was to pass the ball and get the ball around so they couldn’t guard us as much and keep the clock running,” Boles said. “We started throwing up dumb shots, getting in foul trouble and they don’t miss free throws.”

Murray had planned on getting past GVC’s fullcourt zone press, which trapped and hounded the player with the ball mercilessly, by passing around it

OSCEOLA — Clarke’s girls bowling team continues to throw the ball well.

Landi Helgevold had games of 149 and 157 for a 306 series.

Clarke had a 796 baker series compared with 598 for Mount Ayr. On the boys side, the Indians cruised to a 507-pin win over the Raiders.

and taking its time on offense.

“We played good and executed the gameplan in the first quarter,” Bryce Keller said. “Kind of got away from that in the second quarter and that’s where it hurt us.”

Keller’s 21 points led the Mustangs, as did his 11 rebounds.

Grant DeMeleunaere powered the Thunder through the impressive second quarter stretch and finished with 27 points after a 21-point first half.

Dustin Teas, whose lategame heroics pulled Murray over the hump against Ankeny Christian Acacdemy in the semifinals, didn’t score

but did distribute the ball well early against the press.

Murray defeated Ankeny Christian Academy 60-59 Friday to get to the championship game.

Teas hit three late free throws when he was fouled on an attempt beyond the arc in the game’s final moments Friday. Four of the Murray seniors (Teas, Boles, Keller and Jack Jones) reached double digit scoring totals.

Murray fell behind in the first quarter but entered halftime of the semifinal game up 29-23. ACA outscored Murray by two in the third and three in the fourth but clutch play late won it

for the eventual tournament runners up.

“We thought we’d be here. We thought this is where we should be,” Murray coach Darin Wookey said.

He also commented on where he believes his one loss team stands with time winding down in the season.

“I’m not sure we’re worthy yet of our ranking,” Wookey said. “Tonight we found out how unworthy we were really against the number three team.”

UP NEXT — Murray (15-1, 10-0) played Moulton-Udell Tuesday. They are at Orient-Macksburg Friday.

Andy McKnight was steady, rolling a 186 and a 198 for a 38 series to lead the way. T.J. Woods rolled a 378 series, throwing games of 166, then following up with a 212.

The Lady Indian defense was also sharp.

Clarke jumped out to a 16-5 lead after one quarter and 25-10 at halftime. The Lady Indians led 40-26 after three quarters, then sealed it with a 22-9 surge in the fourth quarter.

“That was the most complete game we played,” Zoske said. “We played pretty good defense. We did a good job of rebounding.”

Ashlynn Oehlert hit three triples, while Linskens also hit three from long range.

Oehlert led the Lady Indians with 15 points, along halftime. Centerville scored 15 in the third to six for Clarke in leading 59-43 after three quarters.

Southwest Valley saw firsthand how effective and dominant the Creighton University recruit can be when she’s on top of her game.

Griglione erupted for 32 points as the Roadrunners rolled to a 68-40 win in Pride of Iowa Conference play.

Griglione had one of her best games ever according to Interstate 35 coach Jamie Smith.

“That’s the best,” Smith said. “She’s had a few games where she’s scored more points, but I can’t remember a game where she’s played that well.”

Griglione’s offense came from all over the court.

“She was driving to the basket. She was hitting threes,” Smith said.

Griglione’s performance was impressive for the patrons to watch.

Griglione moved past 1,500 career points.

Griglione also had a couple crisp passes that set up shots. One pass right before halftime to a wide open Slye

“Like I said, he told me so!”

“Who?” “What?”

“What about him makes you believe it – or is it just because ‘he told you so’?”

What do you think this conversation was about?

The truth is, this kind of conversation happens very often, and the topics vary greatly. Sometimes we even have this talk with ourselves as we try to decide if something is right for us to believe, do, or pass on to others.

This time, the setting was the staff break room in an area hospital. The subject was how to make it through long work shifts awake, alert, and able to function. Someone had access to a substance which could help. Was it harmful?

Well…’he’ said it wasn’t.
