‘A Night in Paris’

Clarke students came out in force 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Lakeside Hotel and Casino, as family and friends lined the pavement lead-

ing up to the Event Center doors. The prom theme, “A Night in Paris,” was reflected in floor-length tulle, chiffon and sequined gowns for the ladies and sharp suits for the gentlemen.

Putting the ‘prom’ in promenade By 6 p.m., there was little space available for those wanting to watch the prom walk-in. Clarke County State Bank provided valet parking for the students for the 28th year in a row, dropping them off at the hotel entrance. Couples walked — members of the crowd stopping them repeatedly to take their pictures — on their way into the dance. A similar scene occurred the night before in Murray (see page 3B) though students there made their way up a red carpet into the school.

Students today might be surprised to learn prom walk-ins are fairly new. High

school proms, themselves, are a byproduct of World War II. For Clarke, as with many small schools at the time, restrictions forced administrators to look at alternatives to long-standing traditions, such as the Clarke Junior-Senior Banquet, which dated back to 1905.

In the March 15, 1943, issue of the Student Chief in the Osceola Tribune, Clarke employee J.K. Haeblen was quoted as saying, “If by May seventh banquets are prohibited, it is likely that the upper classmen would have to be satisfied with a prom.

This practice has been followed in some of the larger schools and it seems to that it has the students’ approval.” The bigger worry was finding an orchestra to perform, as “so many of the orchestras have dissolved because of the members going into service,” the paper PROM | 8

The Clarke County Freedom Rock is nearing completion just outside Murray along Highway 34. Support for the project has been overwhelming, but wouldbe patrons have more reason than ever to invest right now. Starting May 1, the cost for an Honor Wall plaque will increase from $50 to $75.

The Freedom Rock project started near the tiny town of Menlo when area artist Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II painted a patriot scene across the face of a 12-foot-boulder. A year later, he painted another one

over the top of it. Then another. Then another. Soon, other areas wanted their own Freedom Rocks, and the Iowa Freedom Rock Tour began.

DES MOINES — New Drake Relays Director Blake Boldon has kept quite busy the past few months assembling an outstanding field of track and field athletes for the 108th annual event this week at Drake Stadium.

Final preparations are being put to the meet that started with the Beautiful Bulldog Contest Sunday.

Track and field events officially began Tuesday with the Grand Blue Mile in downtown Des Moines.

Boldon has made a few minor tweaks to the schedule this year.

“From my perspective as a former athlete, as a former coach, thinking that

with some of the best athletes, we want to make sure this is the world’s best track meet,” Boldon said. “People love the Drake Relays, people love track and field.

It’s not dramatic changes, but we evaluate all little components of the meet to create the best possible meet.”

The high school girls 3,000-meter race and boys 3,200-meter race have been moved from Thursday afternoon to part of a distance running carnival Thursday night.

“We had the state’s best high school runners in the 3,000 and 3,200 running in the middle of the day in an empty stadium. It meant a couple of things — the student athletes were going to have to miss school and parents would have

Boldon to miss work to be here,” Boldon said. “We looked a couple simple little things that make a big difference.

Osceola Police taking back unwanted prescription drugs April 29 at the Clarke County Law Enforcement Center and Hy-Vee Pharmacy From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, April 29, the Osceola Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its 13th opportunity in 7 years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.

Bring your pills for disposal to either the Clarke County Law Enforcement Center at 220 Townline Road in Osceola or the HyVee Pharmacy at 510 W. McLane in Osceola. The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last October, Americans turned in 366 tons (over 730,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,200 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,000 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 12 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners havetaken in over 7.1 million pounds—more

than 3,5 00 tons—of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines-flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trashboth pose potential safety and health hazards.

For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the April 29 Take Back Day event, go to the DEA Diversion website or by calling the Osceola Police Department at 641-342-2121.

DAR meeting notes Ten members of the Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, met April 8 at Summit House in Creston. Chapter Regent Jane Briley hosted the group.

Following rituals, Elaine Brown, Indian Moment chairwoman, talked about John Harrington, flight engineer on the Endeavor space craft in 2002, who was the first American Indian in space. Harrington is a member of the Chickasaw Tribe.

Connie Kinkade gave the National Defense Report citing a report during the World War I era urging DAR members to help the war effort in the following ways: knitting products, making jellies for hospitals, adopting war orphans, and working on the clipping bureau service committee. Members were encouraged to watch the American Experience Series WWI on PBS, commemorating 100 years of America’s involvement in WWI. Pam Marvin’s Women in Iowa Report told the story of Nellie Verne Walker, born in Red Oak, IA in 1874 and was raised in Moulton, IA. She learned the art of stone carving from her father who carved tombstones for a living. Using her father’s tools, Walker carved a bust of Abraham Lincoln that was displayed at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in

Chicago. She became a famous sculptor fulfilling commissions in Iowa and across the country. She is best known for carving the statue of Iowa Senator James Harlan that stood in the U.S. Capitol for many years. Walker lived to be 98 years old and is buried in Moulton with her parents.

Tessa Hull has submitted her lineage papers to become a DAR member.

The vote to accept her was unanimous.

The ISDAR State Conference will be held April 27 and 28 in Ames. Delegates attending are Jane Briley, Connie Kinkade and Jackie Beard. Alternates are Marjorie Kinkade and Pam Marvin.

Connie Kinkade will plan a Memorial Day program to be held at McKinley Park in Creston. Members discussed a flag retirement ceremony and various locations for the event were discussed. Details will be announced at a later date.

For roll call, members gave ideas for next year’s programs. The meeting closed with a prayer. The next meeting will be at Summit House on Saturday, May 13 at 9:30 a.m.

Any woman 18 years of age or older who can trace her lineage back to the Revolutionary War is eligible to become a DAR member. Please contact Marj Kinkade, 782-2503, for more information.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will be releasing swans at four locations in southern Iowa in May, as part of its statewide trumpeter swan restoration effort.

Swans will be released on May 6 at Pin Oak Marsh at 1:30 p.m.; on May 11 at Viking Lake State Park near the restaurant beach area at 1:30 p.m.; on May 12 at Lake Icaria Recreation Area on the north side of lake at the east boat ramp at 9:30 a.m.; and on May 12 at Lake Anita State Park, at 1:30 p.m. Each location will receive two swans except Lake Icaria, which will receive four swans.

Directions to each release site are available on the calendar of events listing on the Iowa DNR’s website at http://www.iowadnr.gov/ Conservation.

Filmmaker Steve Harryman plans to collect video

footage and conduct interviews at Viking Lake State Park, Lake Icaria, Lake Anita State Park and at a restored wetland with nesting swans, for his upcoming documentary “Return of the Trumpeter Swans.” Harryman is working in conjunction with the Trumpeter Swan Society.

Each release will feature a program on trumpeter swans and an opportunity for attendees to see, touch and get photos with the largest waterfowl in North America.

The all-white birds can weigh up to 32 pounds and have a wingspan reaching up to eight feet.

Trumpeter swans were once common in Iowa, but were gone from the state by the late 1880s. By the early 1930s, only 69 trumpeter swans remained in the lower 48 states.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Emily Walsh

Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance It’s great news to hear that the council has decided to go forward with the derelict building grant for Osceola Chamber Main Street and for the possible asbestos removal from both the Murphy and Booth Law Offices. Asbestos removal needs to not be taken likely and should be removed by trained professionals only. This is due to the hazards as-

Barb Merrill Executive Director, Iowa Association for the Education of Young Children The committed individuals who nurture and teach the nearly 70 percent of Iowa’s young children who are cared for outside of their home every day continue to be undervalued despite the importance of their work. The grossly inadequate level of wages for child care staff - roughly $20,000 a year for full-time work, and typically less than that in rural Iowa - has led to difficulties in attracting and retaining high-quality early childhood caregivers and educators. The turnover of childcare providers is typically around 30 percent a year; this high rate interrupts consistent relationships children need to have with their caregivers in order to flourish. Since 1987, child care providers and other early childhood professionals nationwide recognize Worthy Wage Day on May 1, raising public aware-

bestos can pose if it becomes damaged or disturbed. Although there might not be immediate grave concerns of the asbestos and mold in the building, not taking the time or money to fix it can result in a huge medical concern for anyone in the building.

All it takes is one time period of exposure to disturbed or damaged asbestos and mold to face serious health hazards. If airborne, asbestos can get lodged in a person’s lungs and cause fatal diseases such as mesothelioma, which is a rare cancer

which has a very poor prognosis. Sometimes the symptoms of mesothelioma can take 20 to 40 years to be shown.

So at the end of the day, I am pleased to hear that city council members are being cognizant of the potential harm these buildings could cause at the end of the day. Asbestos and mold removal is usually expensive, so some areas in the country don’t see the need to have asbestos removed due to the monetary effects of the townspeople. Keep up the great work!

ness to highlight the importance of child care provider compensation as part of quality early childhood education.

The 2016 Iowa Child Care Workforce Study recently released found the median hourly wage for a teacher in a licensed child care program to be $9.00 - $12.00 per hour, depending on rural or urban setting. This is less than the “single adult” living wage in our state.

Assistant teachers and child care providers who provide care in their homes earn even less. When compared to other occupations on the OES Wage Survey from the Iowa Workforce Development, only fast food cooks/cashiers typically earn less than your child’s teacher or caregiver. Even animal caretakers and parking lot attendants average more per hour than those who provide early care and education services. Typically very few benefits are provided. Those responsible for the care of our most precious possessions, our youngest children, are earning poverty-level wages that typically do not allow adequate support for their own families.

We say we value our young children. Do we appropriately compensate those who spend 8 to 12 hours a day caring for this future workforce, our children and our grandchildren?

The Iowa Association for the Education of Young Children (Iowa AEYC) is impacting the compensation of the child care workforce. Child Care WAGE$® is a nationwide project available in Iowa since August 2013. With appropriate support from foundations and public funding partners, eligible child care teachers and providers in 30 counties across Iowa can be provided a stipend through Iowa AEYC, annually worth up to $3,500, dependent on their level of education. Iowa AEYC is a professional association with 1,200 members across the state and is the home for T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® IOWA. May 1 is recognized as Child Care Worthy Wage Day to draw attention to this need. Do something special on this day to honor your child’s teachers and caregivers. A compensation bonus would be a nice start!Cum repti

BACK IN TIME

World War I nurse, Lena (Warrington) (See) Miller

By Marie White, Clarke County Historical Society

Previously published in the April 11, 1985, issue of the Osceola Sentinel Tribune, with assistance from Patty Strong, of the Iowa Legionnaire: “A place for women in the United States military was not heard of prior to the first World War. However, several thousand women served on the front lines in the United States and Europe in military hospitals.

Lena Warrington was born in Guthrie Center, graduating from high school in 1913 and Mercy Hospital Nurses Training in 1916. She served her country by joining the military through the American Red Cross in 1918 at the age of 24. She served with the Army Nurse Corp. She and several of her friends spent over a year and a half

caring for ailing soldiers in France. In March 1918, Lena set off for Jefferson Barracks, a training camp near St. Louis, where soldiers would be put on trains to go off to battle.

The worst event of the war for Lena took place six months before she set foot on foreign soil. It was the 1918 flu epidemic that raged across the country claiming thousands of lives. She remarked people died faster than they could get the beds made up.

Lena saw about 12 men die each night from the flu, with aspirin the only thing available to treat the suffering.

In December, after the Armistice was signed, Lena boarded a ship headed for France. After a stormy 10-day ride, the ship landed in Brest, where she spent a month and another month in

Metz before transferring to Savenay on the west coast of France, staying there until her departure home in July, 1919.

Lena didn’t witness much of the blood and gore of the war at the Savenay Hospital.

Serious injuries were sent elsewhere. The main ailments were colds and fatigue of Army life.

The nurses worked one of two 12-hour shifts with a typical day starting at 6 a.m.

Before breakfast, Lena would slip on her long navy-blue dress and brown boots that laced up the front. Lena worked for about $65 a month, compared to $30 a month starting wages for an enlisted man at the time.

Lena had fun on her nights off, which came about once a week. She and her other friends attended USO shows with the

officers. They weren’t supposed to associate with the officers but did. Nothing was said as long as they behaved themselves.

A highlight of Lena’s stint overseas was the time she and a gentlemen friend were walking after dinner on New Year’s Eve 1918 and decided to sit and wait for midnight to arrive. After they got up, they realized they had been sitting on a keg of dynamite. Lena and three other nurses were on vacation touring France and had the opportunity to swim in the Mediterranean Sea, play the casinos in Monte Carlo and see the Mona Lisa painting in Paris.

She moved to Osceola in 1921, working for Dr. Sells and then Dr. Harken, married, raised two daughters and stayed active in organizations until her death at age 95.”

they’d be the first to tell you they didn’t do it alone.

“It’s taken a whole army of us,” said Gibbs.

Hal Fitzpatrick, formerly of Osceola, donated the boulder. T&S Industries of Afton moved it into place.

KSOI 91.9FM Southern Iowa Community Radio donated airtime to the cause.

Help from various outlets throughout the county lowered the cost to an estimated $41,000, according to Gibbs.

There were large contributions from area groups as well. The South Central Iowa Community Foundation gave $6,000 to the project, while the Clarke County Development Corporation gave $21,000.

“I can’t emphasize enough that that rock is where it’s at because it’s the Clarke

County Freedom Rock,” said Justice. “It’s going to be a good opportunity for Clarke County.”

Committee members have made sure a little bit extra is built into the design.

“This was kind of Ron’s brainchild,” said Gibbs. “We would have an honor wall in addition to our walk. This is actually a raised ledge that provides natural seating.”

The Honor Wall will be decorated with plaques bearing the names of service members.

“You can honor any soldier that you would like to honor. They don’t have to be from Clarke County,” said Gibbs.

Sorensen is expected to be in Murray Oct. 9 to paint the boulder.

Those interested in donating or picking up an Honor Wall plaque should contact Ron Wheeler at 641-4140039.

The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman is searching for spirited volunteers for its Volunteer Ombudsman Program (VOP), with the goal of placing 1 or 2 volunteers in every nursing facility, residential care facility and elder group home in Iowa.

VOP members are trained, certified volunteers who are assigned to a local long-term care facility to advocate for residents’ rights. Volunteers visit with residents about their quality of care and life in the facility and help resolve conflicts and concerns. This unique and rewarding opportunity requires a minimum commitment of three hours per month for one year.

Interested individuals should be 18 or older and have a friendly disposition, eager attitude and be

able to demonstrate active listening and collaborative problem solving skills.

Previous experience in health care is not required, but volunteers must have a strong appreciation for older Iowans and Iowans with disabilities. Certain conflicts of interest may prevent some people from serving, including current employees of long-term care facilities and their family members.

New volunteer training is scheduled for Friday, April 8, in Sioux City. Interested persons must submit a volunteer application prior to attending training.

To learn more about the Volunteer Ombudsman Program, or to request an application, call VOP Coordinator Sarah Hinzman at 866-236-1430 or visit the VOP website at www.iowaaging.gov/vop.

NEWS Local HCI volunteer honored during National Volunteer Appreciation Week

THURSDAY • APRIL 27, 2017

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Organization seeks more volunteers like Jobst National Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 23-29, a perfect time to say “thanks” to the 33 percent of Iowans who donate their time to make a difference.

Iowa is ranked tenth in the nation among states with the highest volunteer rates, according to the most recent data available from the Corporation for National & Community Service. Local volunteer Mary Jobst is one of these individuals and was recognized last year for her contributions by the Hospice and Palliative Care Association of Iowa.

“Mary is always willing to fill a volunteer need for one of our patients,” said Karen Irwin, local volunteer coordinator with HCI Hospice Care Services. “Whether it is providing a calm presence, reading a story or talking about gardening or fishing, she is always able to find some common ground between her and the patients she visits.”

As a volunteer with HCI Hospice Care Services,

Jobst provides support, companionship and hope to those facing life-limiting illnesses. She is also an active community volunteer.

When did you begin volunteering for HCI Hospice Care Services, and what inspired you to volunteer?

I was looking for a volunteer opportunity and responded to an advertisement in the newspaper to become a volunteer with Middle River Hospice a couple years prior to when the organization joined HCI Hospice Care Services.

What do your regular volunteer activities consist of?

I visit hospice patients.

We chat. I may read to them or just be with them. I participate in HCI Hospice Care Services’ veteran pinning ceremonies, honoring the veterans we serve as I am a veteran. I also serve in the 11th hour program offering patients and families a comforting presence during their final hours.

What do you enjoy most/ find most rewarding?

Knowing that I have pro-

“She’s definitely a fan favorite,” Boldon said.

Another change is moving the popular college sprint medley relay to Friday evening, moving it from Saturday morning.

“College coaches aren’t comfortable with their best sprinters in the sprint medley competing early in the morning,” Boldon said. “Now they have a chance to compete in prime time. Using the combined knowledge, we’ve improved a fan favorite. We can showcase it in the middle of prime viewing time. It’s the little changes people will take note of.”

In all, there will be 73 Olympians in the field, including 10 gold medalists, 13 silver medalists and nine bronze medalists.

“Some of the best athletes will be here on the blue oval in April,” Boldon said.

“You’re going to see dozens of past Olympians, Drake Relays champions.”

The men’s event features four-time United States indoor champion and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Sam Kendricks, ranked second in the world.

How has HCI Hospice Care Services impacted your life?

HCI has provided me the opportunity to be of service to others.

What has been one of your favorite moments as a volunteer?

Reading humorous stories and jokes to one of my

patients and hearing her laugh.

What advice would you give to someone who might be interested in becoming a hospice volunteer?

Try it out. Most likely you will find it very rewarding. If it isn’t for you,that’s okay.

year last year, an athlete’s profile is at its highest.

“When someone wins an Olympic gold medal, their value has never been higher in their mind, the public’s mind,” Boldon said.

Drawing an Olympic-caliber athlete is not always easy for the relays.

“It can be a challenge,” Boldon said. “We’re making sure their idea, for their value fits within our budget,” Boldon said.

For some of the athletes who have been around awhile, it may be their last hurrah at Drake.

“It’s an interesting balance between the pride and true long term favorites. There’s lots of people that have been cheering them on since 2005 for a number of athletes.

Their days in the sport of track and field are finite.

Every athlete has a finite career. Some of them have been coming to Drake Stadium since 2005 and earlier.

In 2017, they’ve been around more than once. We see the crowd pay homage, or cheer them on one last time.”

The veterans mix in with recent NCAA stars who are now professional, or those who did not qualify for Rio. Boldon noted the World Championships are coming to the United States for the first time in 2021, being held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

“They’re looking to make a name for themselves as they start,” Boldon said. “They’re looking at the World Championships this year. Some of these Olympic-level athletes are not only looking at 2020, but the 2017, 2019, 2021 World Championships.”

Prom Closet: Volunteers Allison Miller, LEFT, Madison Porter, RIGHT, Hannah Baysinger, Kaitlyn Watson, Alena Porter, Kim Bethards, Jenn Reich and Karla Ciecalone did girls’ hair, makeup and nails Friday and Saturday leading up to Murray and Clarke proms. Co-organized

by Baysinger, the Prom Closet was formed this year to provide all girls — and even a few boys — with free clothing and services to make going to prom a reality for everyone. Donations included racks full of dresses, shoes for both girls and boys, ties and hands-on assistance in helping students get ready for their big night.

“Could you help me with my husband’s funeral? My best friend says you’re OK with ‘unusual’, and, well… .I don’t want the ‘usual’….”

As I answered with, “OK…how can I help?” I wondered. What does ‘unusual’ mean to her?

I soon learned that 97 year old Muriel had already lost four husbands; this would be the fifth time she would go through this. I could only imagine what it would be like to go through all that grief and loss. Her request did indeed turn out to be a bit, well, unusual….

We met for the first time at the funeral home.

“Well,” she began, “Here’s the thing. Carson – he was my fifth husband – was so amazing. We had this thing we’d laugh about: What if I outlived him? None of my husbands ever met each other, but they were all such wonderful men in their own ways. I can just picture it – all five of them in heaven! What a party they’re having, and some day I’ll get to join them.

Won’t that be grand? So, I want to have a “high hopes” kind of funeral. Can we do that? I want to have all their pictures there, so I can imagine them together with Jesus.”

This smiling, hope-filled woman wasn’t quite what I’d expected. Why, she’d just lost her fifth husband!

She must have guessed

what I was thinking, because she sighed and put her hand gently on my arm.

“Pastor, I have high hopes, don’t you? My hopes aren’t down here on earth, where they can die or disappear. My hopes are in heaven. I’ve got HIGH hopes – get it?” Then she laughed – a wonderful, rich, deep holy chuckle that made her just glow…with all those high hopes!

“Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping…… Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God…..“And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.” (Romans 4:18-19; 23-24) I can only imagine loving – and losing – five life-partners. Wow. Somewhere along the line, Muriel redefined “hope”. No longer an earth-bound and human-defined hope. Not for her. Muriel lived in “high hopes”: heaven-sent and God-defined.

Carson’s memorial service was amazing – and it was huge! I learned that she had stayed closely in touch with family members of all five of these wonderful men she had been so blessed to call “husband”, and many members of all five families were well there. There was

TRURO laughter…..and there were tears. Above all there was a deep demonstration of that which Muriel called “high hopes”. Muriel did indeed display beautiful portraits of all five men, and there was much talk (amid laughter and tears) about what a great time they must be having together in heaven with Jesus.

Muriel’s message and demonstration of “high hopes” didn’t end that day.

That was one of the points she made as she shared memories with all of us that day of her years with her beloved Carson. She was

quite honest about her intent in talking about all five of the “special and amazing men God has lent me”. Muriel told all gathered that day that God wanted us to be “affected and directed” by her words and example.

Here are Muriel’s parting words to us that day: “God doesn’t want us to hold onto earth-bound, human-defined, destructible hope.

Who wants just that? God gives us high hopes: heaven-sent and God-directed.

Take that. I did. It’ll take you through anything…. and on to everything.

The school wound up securing entertainment for the evening, and the prom was popular enough to become a permanent feature of — and eventual replacement for — the Junior Senior Banquet.

The walk-in wasn’t part of the dance, however, until much later.

The first mention of parents and friends waiting to watch couples go into the dance was in 1990. Still, just two years later, in the May 7, 1992 issue, “hundreds of prom watchers” armed with cameras were mentioned by Student Chief reporter, Peggy Skroh.

The walk-in was so popular by the time the dance moved to Lakeside, according to the May 11, 2000, Student Chief, bleachers were

erected outside the casino Deserre Stubbe and and families were instruct- Sydnee Redman ed to park at the school and take buses to the casino to prevent from clogging the parking lot.

Saturday, more than 100 students — including eight sophomores and a lone freshman — attended “A Night in Paris.” Thirty-two couples took part in Murray’s prom, themed “A Night in the Country.”

On behalf of the Osceola Sentinel Tribune, we hope everyone had a wonderful time.

YOU SEE A WEED SHE SEES A THING OF BEAUTY Have you ever wondered why adults and young children see things so differently? It’s because from birth to age five, children are busy making the connections they need to make sense of the world. A deeper understanding of how young children learn has launched the next logical step forward in early education facilities.

• Be ready for classrooms with a new look and sound.

• Be prepared to see very young children take more responsibility for their own needs.

DRAKE RELAYS CLARKE TENNIS Spidle leaping with the best of the best Good day Friday for Clake

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews. com

LEON — Central Decatur sophomore Cauy Spidle doesn’t stand the tallest when he lines up for the the high jump competition.

He certainly proves there is skill and power in his 5-foot, 8-inch frame.

Spidle will put his skills to the test today (Thursday) in the Drake Relays high jump competition. The event is slated to start at 4:30 p.m. at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

“He’s a natural,” said Central Decatur coach Jon Pedersen. “He’s 5-8 and he can go 6-4. I’ve seen some of the pictures and his foot is almost touching his head as he goes over the bar.”

Spidle jumped 6-4 at the Central Decatur Invitational on April 11 to earn his spot at the Drake Relays.

The leap, which tied the

school record, wasn’t unexpected according to Pedersen.

“He’s c o n s i s - Spidle tently been around that all year,” Pedersen said. “We were just waiting for it to happen.”

Now, it is Spidle’s time to go even higher.

“We’re waiting for him to go up another inch or two,” Pedersen said. “Hopefully that will happen this week.”

Spidle has been diligent in his training.

“He works at it,” Pedersen said. “He keeps going up and we expect him to keep going up.”

Spidle has experience jumping in Drake Stadium, having qualified for the state meet as a freshman in the high jump.

“That will help,” Pedersen said. “He knows what it’s like.”

There will be one big difference at Drake compared to a normal meet.

“The biggest adjustment for the high jumpers is they have to start at a higher height,” Pedersen said. “He knows that. Last year (at state), it threw him for a little bit of a loop. It’s still different, but he knows and has experienced that.”

Pedersen and his staff were working with Spidle on that this week at Monday’s meet at Des Moines Christian, as well as in practice.

“He’ll respond to that,” Pedersen said. “We’re looking forward to seeing him compete and doing well for him.”

Spidle will be challenged by the exclusive field. Leading the way is J’Von Harris of Oskaloosa, who has jumped 6-10. Cole Moeller of Calamus-Wheatland and

Miles Rupiper of Kuemper Catholic have jumped 6-9, while Caleb Cowles of Davis County and Braeden Hoyer of Northeast, Goose Lake have jumped 6-8.

The goal, Pedersen said, is for Spidle to go higher than 6-4.

“There’s some awfully good jumpers,” Pedersen said. “That’s going to be pretty good. The goal is to improve his individual jump. We’ll be really happy for him.”

Pedersen noted Spidle is the first Central Decatur boy or girl to make the Drake Relays since he began coaching track in 2006.

“It’s pretty cool for him to make it,” Pedersen said.

Spidle has taken the accomplishment in stride.

“Cauy’s pretty levelheaded,” Pedersen said. “He doesn’t get too excited. It was a goal. Anytime you can accomplish a goal, it’s a pretty special thing for him.”

CLARKE GOLF Marker starting to hit her stride for Lady Indians golf

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

OSCEOLA — Clarke freshman girls golfer Sadie Marker is starting to find her stroke.

She posted rounds of 48 and 49 to lead the Lady Indians girls golfers during rounds against Centerville and Central Decatur last Tuesday and against Creston/Orient-Macksburg and Interstate 35 on Friday, both at the Osceola Country Club.

She led the Lady Indians in both matches.

“Sadie Marker is in the high 40s as a freshman,” said Clarke coach Steve McWilliams. “She shows a lot of promise.”

Breana Lowry was second both days, posting rounds of 53 on Tuesday and 52 on Friday.

“She’s not quite found her groove yet,” McWilliams said. “It will come around as it warms up and we get into some better weather. We hope her scores will come down.”

Lowry is just a little bit from posting some really good numbers.

“It’s a matter of being consistent,” McWilliams said. “We hit some good shots and we hit some bad shots. We need to get some consistency and not get those dubs.”

The Centerville girls defeated Clarke and Central Decatur last Tuesday, with

174 for the Big Reds, to 211 for the Lady Indians and 239 for the Cardinals.

“The Centerville girls are really, really good,” McWilliams said. “The rest of the Conference is going to look up to them.”

Centerville’s Madeline McDonald was the medalist with a 40. Teammate Emily Mormon was the runner-up with a 41.

Central Decatur was led

by Kristen Schaff’s 47 and Lily Simon’s 53.

The Central Decatur boys defeated Clarke 180-203.

Central Decatur’s Keaton Minnick was the medalist with a 40. Michel Evertsen was the runner-up with a 42.

Clarke was led by Connor Deutsch’s 45.

On Friday, the Indian boys defeated Interstate 35 191-265.

Deutsch was the medalist with a 42. Teammate Ethan Potter was the runner-up with a 45.

Interstate 35 was led by Cam Vodraska’s 58.

UP NEXT — Clarke’s boys are at the Moravia Tournament at Honey Creek Resort Thursday and at the Winterset Tournament Friday.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

CLARKE TRACK AND FIELD Individual events lead Clarke boys and girls track Friday at Winterset

By RYAN KRONBERG

“We had a lot of injuries and girls that at the last minute couldn’t come,” Subbert said. “Overall, we ran well for a cold, windy night.”

On the boys side, Byron Rivera won the high jump with a leap of 5-6. Payton Winship was fourth in the long jump, the sprint medley was fourth, Amanuel Fry was fourth in the 400 hurdles and the 4x100 relay was fourth.

“A couple guys ran pretty well, had some of their seasons-best overall,” said Clarke coach Kyle Eckermann. “We’re still growing.”

Injuries also hampered the Indian boys.

“We fought through a lot of injuries and the guys fought through them,” Eckermann said.

The Indians have a big week this week. They were at Carlisle Tuesday and at Van meter Thursday.

“We’ll take that to prepare some stuff for conference, get healthy,” Eckermann said.

We offer our book at no cost because since 1997, Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker has seen the consequenc es of client’s costly mistakes.

OST photos by HILARY FERRAND

Earth Day 2017: Working together, the Clarke County Hospital and Clarke County Conservation Board hosted an engaging Earth Day celebration 10 a.m. Saturday, April 22, at East Lake Park. The event included a 5K race, children’s nature walk and raptor presentation. The route of the race encouraged people to see more of the park, while the nature hike — led by Decatur County Naturalist Kayla Stalder — focused on recycling, responsible habits and ended with the children planting a tree as a group. The raptor demonstration included both a barred owl and short-eared owl, as well as owl pellet specimens. Pictured, LEFT, is licensed wildlife rehabilitator Beth Brown and a short-eared owl, and RIGHT, Genevieve Niggemeyer, age 4, runs to greet dad Erik Niggemeyer as he competes in the 5K run. Even after stopping for hugs and saying hi to mom, Sarah Brown, Niggemeyer took second place. Look for more information on the festivities in upcoming issues of the Osceola Sentinel Tribune.
