A celebration of life

By HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa. com

Erick Reyna was 10 years old when his mother, Evangelina Perez, moved her family to Osceola. Erick and his two sisters, Adriana and Linda, flourished in Clarke Community Schools, making friends with other students and with their teachers. Erick graduated in 2012, but still came back once in awhile to visit with his favorites.

“He was friendly with everybody,” said sister Adriana. “You asked him a favor, he wouldn’t say no. He would do anything as long as you put gas in his car or gave him food.”

Erick was known for his infectious personality, earning him the nickname Bobblehead and many friends.

“Erick was a wonderful person,” said local mom

Nancy Watson. “He was very good friends with my children.”

Noe Flores came to Osceola from New Mexico a few years later, meeting and marrying Erick’s cousin, and starting a family.

“Noe and Erick were really good friends,” said Noe’s widow, Alicia, a d d i n g Flores the young men would often get together to listen to music, drive around and hang out together.

The two shared an interest in Spanish music, with bands like Los Tucanes del Tijuana, Los Inquietos and Pegaso, and in treating life like a celebration.

“We would spend all summer hanging out, cruis-

ing around Osceola,” said friend Cierra Lewis. “[It] was always an adventure.”

“My teenage years had nothing but good memories with them. They were great to be around always making jokes and just messing around,” she said. “You can’t really put into words how much they meant to alot of people.”

For all the fun the pair managed to have, they were also serious about their roles as family men. Noe’s twins – a boy and a girl – were 9 when he passed away. His youngest was just three years old, and Noe had been her stay-at-home dad.

“He’s the one who potty trained her,” said Alicia.

“Noe was really dedicated.

He would help with anything.”

The week before he was killed, their family had gone on a vacation to Omaha together. They often went out to movies or for quick trips

to Des Moines.

Erick had a child as well, a little boy. “ H i s m a i n thing was his son,” said Adriana. “He’s five right Reyna now.”

He never stopped looking forward to visits with his son.

Noe and Erick often acted like the young men they were. They loved dancing, music, cars and playing video games.

“He was 22, like a teenager,” said Adriana.

While this short chapter of their lives coming to an end, it’s clear it’s not the end of their stories. Both both have plenty of loved ones to carry on their memories — and their examples of how to create lives worth living.

Richard Ryan Lamb Carson, 40, of Osceola has been found guilty of two counts of Murder in the First Degree in the shooting deaths of Noe Flores, 27, and Erick Reyna, 22.

Sentencing is set for 11 a.m. Thursday, June 15, at the Clarke County Courthouse.

The prosecution opened the second day of testimony on Tuesday by calling firearms expert Victor Murilla, a criminalist with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (D.C.I.). Murillo has been a firearms specialist withD.C.I. since 1989.

Murillo confirmed all 16 bullets found in Carson’s truck were a match to the bullets found in Flores and Reyna, and that they came from the gun police recovered from a storm drain outside the home of Tracy Kay Johnson, 45, of Osceola, Carson’s former girlfriend. That firearm was identified as a .357 Taurus seven-shot revolver with a single- and double-action trigger pull.

A photo of Carson was displayed showing him holding a weapon very similar to the Taurus, and earlier witnesses testified they thought it was the same gun. Michael Adams, for the defense, argued that wasn’t the case and the weapon in the photo was, in fact, a Smith & Wesson.

Medical examination Dr. Michele Catellier, associate state medical examiner, took the stand to shed light on the victims’ injuries. Most notable were the bullet holes in Reyna’s arm and hand and the atypical bullet wounds in his cheek and forehead.

“It’s entirely possible, if not probable, that his hand was in front of his face at the time of the gunshots,” said Catellier. Assistant Attorney General Susan

Special proposal

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — Osceola native Eli Stover stood just past the finish line of the Drake Relays Road Race half marathon.

He was there to greet his longtime girlfriend Kara Palczewski.

But this was no ordinary meeting after she completed a 13.1 mile run through the streets in and around Drake University.

There was something special in Stover’s right hand.

A diamond ring.

The 1997 Clarke Community High School graduate greeted her with an embrace.

A few moments later, he dropped to a knee, opened up the box that held the ring.

In disbelief, she started tearing up. He asked her to marry him.

She said yes.

They shared a deep kiss and hug.

The two Grimes residents are on the road to marriage.

“I’m a little shocked right now,” Palczewski said.

Over the final block of the Road Race, friends held up a series of signs saying Kara, Will, You, Marry.

Stover held the me.

She saw the first one and the next one.

Eventually she put them together.

“I saw it. A friend is hilariously loud. I knew it wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary to see a sign,” Palczewski said. “I sort of started putting two and two together.”

When Stover heard his former high school friend was now the director of the Drake Relays a plan was hatched.

1997 Clarke Community High School graduate Eli Stover and his girlfriend Kara Palczewski share a kiss after Stover proposed to her after she crossed the finish line of the half marathon at the Drake Relays Road Race as part of the Drake Relays on April 29 in Des Moines.

Stover contacted first-year Drake Relays director, and 1998 Clarke graduate Blake Boldon about proposing at the Drake Relays Road Race half marathon.

Boldon put Stover in contact with the right people at the Drake Relays and the plans were set up.

Having Boldon directing the Drake Relays helped put Stover at ease about the proposal idea.

“As soon as I realized it was Blake, I knew it would get done,” Stover said. “He started putting me in touch with people and people and people, that everything would be all right. Sometimes with these big races, they don’t want people just hanging out behind the finish line. I couldn’t be out in front.

“She’s got to cross the finish line.”

Near the two hour mark, Palczewski came in sight.

Then she came to the finish line where the moment neither will forget happened.

Palczewski was in awe of how her now fiance lined up the proposal.

“I’m amazed how he pulled it off the way he did,” Palczewski said.

“It’s huge, shocking, amazing and really cool.”

How the couple met is a story in and of itself.

Stover did not know how to swim.

Yet he found himself interested in competing in a triathlon.

The first discipline of the three-event race is swimming.

He wanted to learn how to swim, so he went to a gym in Des Moines.

There he met a single lady, Palczewski.

She taught him.

The couple hit it off.

“I sent her a text message and said ‘Hey, do you want to meet me at the gym and teach me how to swim,’” Stover said. “We’d been texting back and forth, but we’d never met before. We met at a gym in our swimming trunks there teaching me how to swim.”

“And it snowballed from there.”

Both enjoy outdoor activities.

“She runs a lot. I bike a lot,” Stover said. “We boat a lot. We’re outdoors people and things like that.”

It was how Stover came up with the idea of proposing at the end of the Road Race.

Two and a half years later, the relationship went to the next level.

Now they will be married.

Krisko for the prosecution confirmed the doctor believed Reyna was likely holding up his hand to protect himself during the shooting. The doctor also confirmed that one of the bullet holes in Flores’ head came from behind.

On cross-examination by defense attorney Jill Ann Eimermann, Catellier said Reyna had a wallet containing money on his person at the time of his death and Flores had a small plastic bag containing a crystalline material, identified as methamphetamine.

Following Catellier’s testimony, the state rested its case.

Eimermann called for the court to find Carson not guilty, saying the state did not prove the gun belonged to Carson or premeditation. The defense also felt the testimony of Johnson and Byers couldn’t be trusted as the witnesses had their own motives.

Judge John D. Lloyd determined the jury had enough evidence to make a determination on the charges and moved ahead with the trial.

The defense had subpeoned a former Osceola resident, Deva Sinklier, who had filed a police report in 2007 alleging Flores and Reyna were part of a group of boys harassing her son. However, she was unable to recall which boys were involved or whether there was any mention of a weapon, so she wasn’t brought to testify before the jury.

Carson would be the final witness to take the stand.

Claiming self-defense The crux of Carson’s defense was a plot by an underground society to kill him or put him away for life.

He posited that while walking to his car and back for a pack of cigarettes, Carson approached a black Honda in the driveway of

“It is so fun. I love it. I really do,” said Davenport.

It helps that Elmer has been rated one of the top dogs in his class. He took like a champ to the escalators at Jordan Creek Mall during training sessions earlier this month and has become so well-behaved in public no one even notices when he’s around.

Bernard Laverne Linder, son of Carl Linder and Cecile (Tompkins) Linder, was born Feb. 17, 1918, in Clarke County. Bernard lived in Clarke County his entire lifetime, and graduated from Osceola High School. He served in the U.S. Army during WWII and was honorably discharged as a master sergeant in 1946.

In February 1938, he married Virginia Luther in Osceola. Virginia died in 1992.

On Dec. 26, 1993, Bernard married Doris Reed Richardson. Bernard was an employee of Robinson’s Department Store in Osceola, starting as manager and later becoming the co-owner for a total of 66 years.

He was a member of Davis-Pence American Legion Post No. 69, Osceola V.F.W., Osceola Chamber of Commerce and Osceola Fourth of July marshall

along with wife Doris. Bernard was a member of First Christian Church since 1938 and held several board positions over the years.

Bernard is survived by his wife Doris Linder of Osceola; daughters, Cindy (Randal) Goodrich of Elkhart and Pam (Orval “Butch”) Black of Osceola; step-daughters, Kathy (Steve) Ratcliff of Red Oak, Connie Richardson of Des Moines and Carla (Ray) Baker of Osceola; 15 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; 10 great-great-grandchildren; sister Norma Corn of Grove, Oklahoma; as well as other relatives and many friends.

Bernard was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Cecile; first wife Virginia; son Lowell Linder; step-son Kent Richardson; great-granddaughter Cami Berglund and brother Leonard Linder.

gent so people don’t step on him, step on his tail.”

Davenport’s children, Tyler, 11, and Jessinda, 13, have been very helpful in protecting him when they’re out and about at the store.

The biggest challenge so far?

“These dogs have to be able to do their business on any type of substrate.

It’s natural for them to go in the grass. It’s not natural for them to go on concrete,” said Davenport. “I don’t know if you just saw him do it, but he just did it. Big, big celebration!”

Teaching him was quite the fete. Elmer, convinced he would get in trouble, held it for four and a half hours until he finally

couldn’t stand it. Now that he knows he won’t get into trouble, there’s no turning back, but Davenport said, “it was hard on my heart.”

Sibling rivalry Gemma, Davenport’s older dog, is slowly adjusting to life as a big sister.

“It’s on her terms. She’ll play with him,” said the foster mom. “At night, when he’s tired, he likes to relax and cuddle up beside her, but she will have no part of it. Slow process, but it is coming along” Elmer’s first big field trip is coming up June 3 at Living History Farms. Until then, readers might catch a glimpse of him around town as he accompanies Davenport into more stores.

Home equity products good fit for older consumers New research by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) found retirement concerns loom large for consumers as they age.

Most cited rising medical expenses (91%) and outliving retirement savings (83%) as their principal concerns. Four out of five also expressed a desire to

stay in their homes. However, when considering financial preparedness, consumers focused primarily on accumulated assets such as 401(k) accounts, pensions, annuities, and savings.

Even though their homes can represent as much as 80% or more of their net worth, older people gen-

erally overlooked or were unwilling to consider home equity as a retirement asset.

“We need to do a better job of educating consumers about the products available and how best to use their homes as a strategic asset as they age,” said Jay Greenberg, CEO of CNOA Services.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR William Gerhard

President, Iowa State Building andConstruction Trades Council

In a classic bait and switch this legislature passed an agenda never campaigned on.

They wiped out minimum wage increases and strangled public employee and teacher negotiating power. In addition, let’s look at a few less noticed but important actions that also hurt Iowa’s working citizens.

Two years ago, an increased gas tax made real the promise of much needed bridge and road repair. This year, in what was called the “Road Fund Swap,” a federal Buy-American provision and other quality protections were stripped from your city and county allocation of road money, allowing for foreign made construction materials. Further, under the guise of reducing red-tape and stretching dollars, local construction wage rates protected by federal law were eliminated, opening the door to lower wages in rural areas and out-ofstate contractors undercutting local jobs.

An example would be where a county farm to market bridge was being rebuilt and an out-of-state contractor utilizing a cheap workforce from a southern-tier state is able to underbid local contractors and is awarded the job. Iowans lose. If cheap Chinese steel is used, America loses.

Republicans passed the “Swap” on party Atif Ozcelik Clive

On behalf of 400,000 Azeri-Americans, I urge the USG to use its influence and take serious steps to enforce the UN SC resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 1993 and the UN General Assembly resolution A RES 48 114. These resolutions call for immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of the occupying forces of Armenia in Azerbaijan’s territories.

Twenty-five years ago, Armenia waged a war against the people of Azerbaijan in the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan. The ethnic Azeri population of Nagorno-Karabakh region and other seven districts of Azerbaijan, numbering close to 800,000, were ethnically

lines, and our soon-tobe Ambassador to China signed it, opening a market for Chinese steel as a gift from Iowa taxpayers. While President Trump promises “American Steel,” our state GOP does the opposite.

The long-standing bargain struck between business and injured employees in Iowa’s worker compensation law was ravaged rather than reformed this year. Changes to retaliatory discharge after an injured employee is wrongfully terminated, when an injury is first reported, penalties for late compensation payments and how pre-existing injuries are treated detrimentally impact Iowa employees in all workplaces. For employees suffering a shoulder injury, the new law drastically reduces benefits without compensating for an injured worker’s lack of employability.

Take, for instance, the situation of a longterm employee who suffers a catastrophic shoulder injury in a workplace accident. As someone who requires shoulder strength for his livelihood, his lifetime earning power is greatly diminished by the workplace injury.

The new law shortened the period for benefits.

While the new law does provide for re-training at a local community college, a one-sizefits-all solution while severely limiting compensation may not be the answer for some injured workers. The new law is predicted to

increase litigation while Iowa’s injured workers are projected to suffer an 80 percent reduction in benefits for shoulder injuries and reduced permanent partial-disability payments.

These changes shift the responsibility for injured employees from the employer funded workers compensation program to taxpayer-funded disability services while lowering the quality of life for injured employees and their families. These changes were also enacted by republicans on party line votes without justification that Iowa’s workers’ compensation policy was out of whack. Big business wins and working Iowans lose.

In a reversal to conservative local control philosophy, the republican-controlled state legislature and governor adopted a prohibition on Cedar Rapids, SiouxCity, Des Moines, Polk and Linn county ordinances to protect taxpayers on public construction projects.

Local Taxpayer Quality Assurance policies aid local governments in selecting capable and qualified contractors. Determination of bidders’ track records when awarding public contracts are essential to give taxpayers the biggestbang for their buck.

The prohibition takes from local officials a valuable tool widely used in the private sector and is at odds with Iowa’s constitutional tradition of Home Rule.

The change is akin to

cleansed fr-om the occupied territories.

May 8 marks the 25th anniversary of destruction of the historic town of Shusha, which was the centerpiece of a vibrant Azerbaijani classical music scene and home to the first opera in the Middle East. It was renowned for its musicians, composers, and singers.

Now it lays in waste, a victim of Armenian destruction, occupation, and systematic ethnic cleansing. Until 1992, Shusha, the most important city in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, was 92 percent Azerbaijani, while the Shusha County was 98 percent Azerbaijani. The occupation of Shusha followed the massacre of 613 Azerbaijani civilians by Armenian troops in the town of Khojaly just

two months earlier.

On behalf of Azerbaijani-Americans, I implore you to do whatever is necessary to move this situation along to its rightful resolution within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan which includes: 1] enforcing the UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions 2] removing all Armenian military forces illegally stationed in Azerbaijan 3] allowing the return of Azerbaijani displaced persons back to their homes 4] ceasing the Armenian blockade of Nakhchivan, the Azerbaijani exclave region 5] returning all POWs and MIA, Justice and fairness should be restored!

prohibiting a homeowner from checking Angie’s list or the Better Business Bureau before hiring a contractor to do an improvement and would force the homeowner to take the low bid of the traveler passing through town.

The healthy future of Iowa requires economic growth in our towns and cities. It needs a skilled workforce, opportunities for training and a promise of good jobs for our young people.

This past legislative session was full of partisan votes without compromise. It was divisive and pitted Iowan against Iowan. Rather than push for jobs with security and benefits, envy and jealousy won the day.

Rather than working toward a livable wage for all Iowans, republicans stripped from your communities the ability to enact minimum wage increases, gutted employee bargaining power, undercut local construction wages, eliminated disability protections for hurt workers, and opened a market to cheap Chinese steel. These new law changes inject uncertainty, dissatisfaction, and a flight mentality in our youth looking for local opportunity to make a life in Iowa.

Now is the time to have a reasoned discussion with your legislators about these issues and your concerns because this legislature has gone in the wrong direction for Iowa.

TRIAL: CONT. FROM | 1

his friend’s home to ask for a light and found himself on the wrong end of a gun.

“He fired a round off, directly at me... I grabbed for the firearm and turned it back like this on him. As I started to stand, I pulled off two quick shots, and I connected both shots to his head. I was looking at the driver, and the driver pulled up a snub nose. I fired two more rounds,” said Carson.

The defendant said he fired a final shot at the driver, striking him in the chest.

Carson also said he dropped the shooter’s gun through the window into his lap, where he found a third gun — an automatic pistol and a magazine in his left hand.

The evidence contests all of his testimony. From the clothes the victims were wearing to where they were seated in the car and the location of their wounds,

Carson’s version of events is not supported. There are no witnesses to back him up, and at times, his own words contridict his statements.

The reason for this is simple, according to his defense.

“It’s referred to as the Right Ring,” said Carson.

“There’s quite a few people in law enforcement that are part of it. There’s people in different parts of society, from Department of Human Services to different roles in government.”

“And they target people like you and set you up?”

Krisko asked.

“I wouldn’t exactly say that,” Carson said, before describing in detail an ongoing dispute involving the treasurer’s office, local banks, law firms and former in-laws.

According to Carson, immediately following the shooting, two police cruisers approached him.

“I seen headlights pull up north of the Methodist church... I seen a squad

car pull up to the stop sign on Fillmore. I seen another squad car... That was the first time I was happy to see a cop in my entire life ever... I put both hands up. The two cops looked at me, they looked at each other, they looked at me... like, ‘How dare you live through that.’ That was the look I got,” said Carson.

Carson disputed the testimony of both Johnson and Byers, and went on to deny owning the gun used in the shootings, moving the bodies or being anywhere near Jameson, where two homeowners said they’d allowed Carson and his friend, Chris Elben, to use their phone.

Carson also admitted to lying to police during initial interviews.

“My question to you is, ‘You were not being honest with the police?” asked Krisko.

“Well, they weren’t being honest with me either,” said Carson, insisting he was trying to determine what information the authorities al-

ready knew about the crime.

The defendant struggled to answer questions, often wandering to other topics and refuting the names of the officers listed in transcripts, as well as what was said during the interviews.

Krisko was not the only one in the courtroom frustrated by his testimony.

“Mr. Carson, please answer the questions you’re asked and then quit talking,” said Lloyd, later warning the defendant to stick with answering questions or his testimony would be stricken from the record.

The defense rested its case shortly after, though requested a mistrial during closing arguments. The request was denied.

While the victims’ families might not have received the answers they’d hoped for from the trial, the verdict did go in their favor. It took just under two hours for the jury to return a unanymous verdict of guilty in both counts of first-degree murder.

Curing cancer one step at a time Relay for Life of Southern Iowa has a special event planned for 3 to 10 p.m. Saturday, June 10, at the Clarke Community High School Track. The first lap of Osceola’s 4th annual Relay for Life event is dedicated to cancer survivors. “The first lap we walk is a survivor lap. Anyone who is a cancer survivor is welcome to come and walk that lap. We’ll also have a

tent available for them,” she said. Participants can also purchase luminaries that will be lit at dusk in honor of those who’ve lost their lives to cancer and to those fighting the illness.

Luminaries and registration are available online at RelayforLife.org/SouthCentralIA, the day of the relay or by contacting Irwin directly at 515-205-5005.

Clarke Community Dollars for Scholars celebrates 15 years of scholarships (OSCEOLA, IA – May 9, 2017) The Clarke Community Dollars for Scholars proudly celebrates their support of Clarke graduates for 15 years.

Clarke Community Dollars for Scholars is a nonprofit organization that supports academic success in the community. As part of Scholarship America’s® national network of locally based, volunteer-driven Dollars for Scholars chapters, the mission of Clarke Community DFS is to mobilize our community on behalf of post-secondary education success for Clarke students.

The Clarke Community chapter was started with a $250 scholarship won in a raffle by David Walkup, the high school principal at the

time. With that prize, the Dollars for Scholars program was started and has grown each year since. The original DFS board began fundraising at local rodeos, fairs and other events in the community by selling shaved ice. Within a few years, they expanded to a trailer and continued the fundraising, growing little by little as each year passed.

Throughout the years, several different fundraising efforts have been utilized, such as adding strawberry smoothies to the shaved ice menu and raffling a Harley Davidson motorcycle in 2005. About ten years ago, the Clarke DFS board approached the Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC) for an endowment grant. The CCDC was able

to start a fund-matching agreement with the DFS board that has been renewed more than two times, growing into a substantial endowment for Clarke Community Schools students.

Through the hard work of the Clarke Community DFS and the generosity of the community as well as the CCDC, every student who completes a Dollars for Scholars application has received a scholarship over the last 15 years. Including the 2017 recipients, the Clarke DFS chapter has been able to award nearly $140,000 in scholarships to 410 students since its beginning in 2002.

Each scholarship beneficiary receives the same dollar amount to put toward higher education, regardless of financial need or academic

standing. The only requirement is the completion of the application and graduation from Clarke Community Schools. Through Dollars for Scholars, each scholarship has the potential of being matched if the student attends a DFS Collegiate Partnership school, such as Southwestern Community College. For a complete list of 2017 Collegiate Partners, please visit the Dollars for Scholars website (http:// www.clarkecommunity.dollarsforscholars.org/).

Donations are always welcome and appreciated and can also be mailed by check to Clarke Community Dollars for Scholars, PO Box 224, Osceola, IA 50213.

Strong effort from the hurdles lead Lady Indians at South Central Conference meet

Clarke boys tennis claims SCC Tourney title

By RYAN KRONBERG

By RYAN KRONBERG

KNOXVILLE — Clarke’s girls track and field team continues to do exceptionally well in the hurdle events.

The Lady Indians fared well there in the South Central Conference meet Thursday in Knoxville.

The shuttle hurdle relay quartet of Solanna Zimmerman, Hollie Miler, Ashlynn Oehlert and Bailey Zimmerman claimed first in 1:13.27.

The Zimmerman sisters were at the top of the 100 hurdles. Bailey Zimmerman won in 16.19, while Solanna Zimmerman was third in 16.59.

The 4x100-meter relay quartet of Solanna Zimmerman, Caitlyn Clark, Sarah Davis and Bailey Zimmerman took third.

Clarke’s girls finished fifth with 42 points.

Albia was the league champion with 162 points. Knoxville was the runner-up with 132 points, while Davis County took third with 122 points.

The performance, however, had areas the Lady Indians can improve up, particularly before races.

“We looked a little stiff on Thursday,” said Clarke coach Christa Subbert. “We need to do a better job of getting warmed up and being ready to run when the race starts.”

Injuries continue to be an issue for the Lady Indians. Several were held out in prepartion for Thursday’s state qualifying meet at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

“We held a few girls back so they could rest up and be ready for districts next week,” Subbert said.

The state qualifying meet will pose strong tests for the Lady Indians looking to advance events to next week’s state meet at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

“The state qualifying meet will be tough for us. We are in a good district,” Subbert said. “The goal each track season is obviously to do well in conference and make it to state. We have some good opportunities, and I’m excited to see what my girls can do Thursday. Hopefully we will get a few state qualifiers.”

A young Clarke boys track and field team team learned much from Thursday’s South Central Conference track and field meet.

The Indians placed sixth with 45.33 points.

Leading the charge was Byron Rivera’s third-place finish in the high jump and Humberto Arellano’s third in the 200-meter dash, along with Brian Avalos taking third in the long jump.

The 4x100-meter relay quartet of Payton Winship, Rivera, Arellano and Avalos finished fourth to lead the relays.

Amanuel Fry was fourth in the 400 hurdles.

Arellano was fifth in the 400, Grant Wishon was fifth in the discus, with Rivera placing fifth in the 100-meter dash, and Payton Winship fifth in both the long jump and high jump.

Wishon is the lone senior on a youthful Indians team.

“The biggest takeaway is that we were most likely the youngest team there with only one senior and nine freshman,” said Clarke boys coach Kyle Eckerman.

Growth will happen as the boys mature physically.

“The next couple of years, we will be more competitive as team,” Eckerman said.

Albia won the team title narrowly over Knoxville. The Demons scored 149 points to the Panthers’ 141 points.

Davis County was third with 76.67 points.

UP NEXT — Clarke’s girls and boys travel to Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont for the state qualifying meet Thursday. Action starts at 4 p.m.

Ready to change the culture Matthess hired as new Clarke football coach ■

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

OSCEOLA — Duane Matthess has been told about the past history of Clarke football.

He’s been told about how the program has not traditionally enjoyed much success.

The Tipton native is not worried about the program’s past reputation.

What Matthess wants to do is bring new life to the program.

Matthess, 39, was officially hired at Monday’s Clarke Community School District Board of Education meet.

He and his wife Sarah and two young children will be moving to Osceola shortly after the school year ends at Denison-Schleswig.

“Nothing against what happened in the past. It is what it is,” Matthess said.

“They don’t have much of one, but that’s going to change.”

He wants players to wear the jersey on Friday nights as a source of excitement.

“When we put the uniform on, we’re going to wear it with pride when we step o the field for that first home football game against Saydel,” Matthess said.

As part of the overhaul of the program, it involves updating equipment. A number of older pieces of equipment were removed from use.

“As I was cleaning out some of the inventory, I saw

practice jerseys from players that graduated in 1995. We don’t need to hang onto this stuff. We need to cycle this stuff out, get better things in here for our kids,” Matthess said. “Practicing in grungy stuff, that’s not really conducive for kids to have pride int the program. If it means we get some stuff where it breeds enthusiasm into the program, that’s something we need to make that investment in kids. If they see that investment, the kids see the investment being made, it gets contagious that things are going to be different.”

With Matthess hired to replaced the departed Ron Dupree, a buzz is forming around the program within the school.

“Talking to Tracy (athletic director Tracy Johnson), the kids have been talking.

There has been some enthusiasm, excitement flowing into the program,” Matthess said. “That’s exciting to hear. It feels like some things are starting to change. It’s a little bit easier to have excitement now when we’re not doing anything. I’d rather have it that way, then ‘Oh, it’s another football coach. Here we go again type of deal.”

playing football for the Tritons.

At the same time, he hooked up with indoor football. He played for the Quad Cities Steamwheelers, at the time a farm team for the Iowa Barnstormers. He also played indoor football with the now defunct Fargo Freeze and Madison Maddogs.

Other things took his interest and he moved back to eastern Iowa, working various jobs in the Iowa City area.

Meanwhile, he coached football at Iowa City West.

He coached at Springville, then in Class A. When the Orioles dropped to eight man, at the same time he was dealing with a difficult personal situation, he left the job there.

He then took a job at Independence as a sophomores coach and special teams coordinator.

school. He enrolled at Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids and worked towards completing his degree in secondary education.

This past season, he found a football job conducive with student teaching. He served as the defensive coordinator at Center Point-Urbana.

As he grew older, he became more disciplined in doing school work.

“I always wanted to be a teacher, but I have never been a huge fan of the tediousness of going to college and classes. I didn’t think that was important,” Matthess said.

“In high school, I struggled with my studies. It was not IN THE IOWA DISTRICT COURT because was smart enough, FORICLARKE COUNTY THE MATTER OF Doing it was IN taking initiative.

models within the school for the rest of the student body and staff.

“I want our teachers and our school district to look at football players as leading the way, setting example for other students,” Matthess said. “I don’t want to be looked down as football players on how they act. That’s not how we’re going to act.”

Part of good character starts with being responsible on social media, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other platforms. Being responsible there can open doors for playing at the next level, Matthess noted.

“I want to make sure our student athletes in social media are making the right choices. That’s something that will be addressed in the program.

Kids are on social media. That covers every student in high school saying and doing the right things,” Matthess said.

College coaches are aware of what goes on social media, and negative repercussions of poor choices there.

“I don’t know how many times I’ve seen a college recruiter put out tweet that an athlete had a scholarship pulled because of a tweet,” Matthess said. “Social media is changing the world. When I was in high school, we didn’t worry about that. We didn’t have those things. I want to make sure every athlete

like Gabe Crawford, more athletes that have the desire to play after high school that they are afforded the best opportunities possible.

I don’t want them to mess that up with something silly they tweeted or retweeted.

That goes back to the top down type of mentality. I’m not trying to micromange. I want them to have fun and be kids, but I feel like I’m doing them a disservice to the ones that want to make the leap to playing at the college level if we don’t have those conversations. It’s a reality of the world we live in today.”

Another aspect of good character starts with servant leadership from the coaching staff and the seniors, then trickles down into the rest of the program.

“I’m very big into servant leadership in sense of where it starts at the top,” Matthess said. “That falls my shoulders, how we spread that to our assistant coaches at all levels.

That falls on me. Where it trickles down is to the seniors.

They’re going to be leaned on a lot this year setting the tone in practice getting ready for games. I look at it at the end of practice in some programs freshmen pick up the dummies. The way it’s going to be in our program is that the seniors show the younger kids coming up in the program how to lead and be a success-

ful program.”

Senior leadership for the team will be crucial.

“There’s not excuses if things aren’t going well. It all starts from the head of the program and that falls on me,” Matthess said. “I need to make sure our seniors are saying and doing things the right way, the best possible way of all aspects, doing the right things in practice, saying and doing the right thing, acting and doing the right thing, acting the right way. in school and the community.”

“Ultimately that reflects on our program, school, their family.”

Matthess will encourage his football players to be more than football athletes.

“I don’t look at is as building football players,” Matthess said. “Football players turn into basketball players and wrestlers. I’m a big believer in multiple sport athletes and how they play a hand in and hand off each other.”

Matthess has started a website, www.ClarkeIndiansFootball.com, a Facebook page, Clarke football, and created a Clarke football handle on Twitter, @clarke_fb.

Matthess wants Indian backers to visit those frequently to stay up to date on happenings within the program.

“Social media plays a big part not only for getting infor-

mation out, but for following the program and supporting the program,” Matthess said.

Mattheess is finishing up the school year at Denison-Schleswig, then will move down early this summer.

The combination of coaching football and teaching caught Matthess’ eye. He will teach government at United States history at the high school level.

His wife Sarah has already accepted a job working for Osceola Dental Care and Dr. Stark.

The move to Osceola will be for the long term.

“We’re looking forward to being part of the community,” Matthess said. “I told Tracey one of the nice things is I’ll be a teacher and a coach in the same building. We’re not looking to move again, not to mention my wife said we’re not allowed to move after we just moved less than four months ago.”

The opportunity given to him is a dream come true.

“When Tracey offered me the position, it’s been my lifelong aspiration to be a football coach and teach,” Matthess said. “This is my first year I’ve been able to fulfill both of those.”

“I couldn’t be happier.”

TO from SEEKtheLEGAL ADVICE ONCE DEFINITIONS TO PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) -- The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

• ppb -- parts per billion.

• ppm -- parts per million.

• pCi/L - picocuries per liter • N/A- Not applicable

• ND -- Not detected • RAA - Running Annual Average • Treatment Technique (TT) -A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

• Action Level (AL)- The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL)- The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

• SGL- Single Sample Result • RTCR- Revised Total Coliform Rule • NTU-Nephelometric Turbidity Units GENERAL INFORMATION Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water posed a health risk. More information about contaminants or potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children.

Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.

OSCEOLA WATER WORKS is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.

If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT INFORMATION This water supply obtains water from one or more surface waters. Surface water sources are susceptible to sources of contamination within the drainage basin.

OTHER INFORMATION Turbidity is an indicator of treatment filter performance and is regulated as a treatment technique.

CONTACT INFORMATION For questions regarding this information or how you can get involved in decisions regarding the water system, please contact OSCEOLA WATER WORKS at 641-342-1435. Decisions are made at the board meetings held on the 151 Thursday of each month at 5:30pm. The meetings are located at Osceola Water Works office at 208 West Jefferson Street and are open to the public.

NOTICE: This information will not be mailed to each water works customer. You can receive a copy of this information at the Osceola Water Works Office located at 208 West Jefferson Street.

Come Join us at Saylor Realty for a Milestone Celebration!

Opening Doors for over 40 years

May 19th 3 - 6 PM Saylor Realty 320 West McLane ~ Osceola

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.

Saylor Realty and Helen Saylor-Kimes Are Celebrating Milestones!

Serving Osceola, Sun Valley & Surrounding areas for over 40 years!
