stopped by with some of the creepiest, crawliest creatures around.

Parents can pick up a schedule of events at the library or download it online, along with the rules regarding the library’s summer reading contests.

Every week, there’s going to be something new for children to enjoy. Professional performers like Duffy Hudson, the Hanson Family and Magician Keith West will be stopping by over the next few weeks.

Regular health, crafting and learning workshops will fill the summer with plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning and staying active. The staff has done a superb job of creating programs suitable for toddlers through middle school students and

For the size of the population it serves, the Osceola Public Library offers an impressive number of programs for kids and adults, but it’s the quality of those activities that makes it a treasure among libraries throughout the state.

This summer’s “Building a Better World” series combines traditional summertime reading programs with engaging presenters, hands-on activities, crafting, games that get kids up and moving and more.

There is something for every child (and child at heart) at the library this June and July in Osceola.

Feldman joins Medicap family

Restoration Ranch is one of few places in South Central Iowa people can go when they’ve hit rock bottom. Now, thanks to generous grants from several organizations in the community, the charity has a facility capable of housing six residents at a time as they work toward reclaiming their independence.

The public is invited to a ribbon cutting and open house 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 17, at the shelter located at 2746 Kansas Street.

“Right now we can house up to six men, providing long-term housing that gives them the opportunity for a true life change,” said Restoration Ranch Board Vice President Kim White. “They might be struggling with drugs, alcohol, a family situation, abuse, homelessness, whatever.”

The program, started by Brad and Michelle Davis in May 2011, has helped 20 men get on their feet through the years, long before there was a shelter in place to help with transitions.

“A lot of the bases we have even now is what was learned along the way,” said White. “They’ve had some not so great situations, but

have the ability to provide quick and convenient access to immunizations. Feldman is bringing some new services to town with her as well.

First on the list? Dr. Comfort shoe fittings help patients with foot and balance problems find a comfortable shoe with the support — and style — that’s needed. Therapeutic shoes have come a long way from the white clunky sneakers of the 70s and 80s. Today, even sandals are available.

“I already have some background training in this, but I want to do more in regards to what kinds of feet problems people have and then also being able to fit people for shoes that have comfort inserts. Medicare will even pay for that for them, which is really nice.”

some overwhelming successes too.”

A key component to the program is religious participation, which sometimes is an obstacle for potential residents.

“We found out it works much better if faith is one of the components,” said White. “We ask that they get involved in church. It doesn’t have to be a church we specify.”

However, there are options for those who want to remain religion free.

“We just need to know in

advance. It’s important to be clear upfront,” she said, noting the group works with secular providers in some situations, for instance, in offering residents mental health and addiction counseling.

Participants coming from bad situations have a hard road ahead of them, said White, and they need services like Restoration Ranch to make the most of their efforts.

“When they come out of rehab, or even out of jail, where do they have to go?

Ruling protects illegal immigrants using fake documents to obtain work

By HILARY FERRAND OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Days after being arrested on identity theft charges, a local woman might find relief in a new ruling by the Iowa Supreme Court.

According to an Osceola Police report, Conception Montanyo-Garcia, 50, 116 N. Adams St., admitted to obtaining false identification papers two years ago and using the documents to gain employment at Southern Hills Specialty Care Center.

Montanyo-Garcia was charged with identity theft over $10,000 12:17 a.m.

Thursday, June 1, at the Law Enforcement Center and posted bond on Friday, the day after a landmark case in immigration law in Iowa set the stage for the charges to be dropped.

The case, State of Iowa vs. Martha Aracely Martinez, centered on Martinez, a woman brought to the United States illegally at age 11, and who later gained protection under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the Obama Administration’s immigration policy granting temporary clemency to certain illegal residents in the U.S. After the approval of her application, Martinez applied for a driver’s license in her real name. The application was flagged for potential fraud activity when her photo matched that of her illegally obtained driver’s license, and Martinez was charged with identity theft. Ultimately, the Iowa

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Supreme Court decided federal immigration law trumps state charges for illegals trying to gain employment, and the charges against Martinez were dropped.

Local officials are not certain of Montanyo-Garcia’s legal status. However, she came to their attention after an out-of-state resident called in with complaints.

“They’ve been receiving notices from the IRS that they owed taxes on wages from here,” said Osceola Police Chief Martin Duffus.

“In this particular case, it’s my understanding this individual had appropriate ID,” said Director of Marketing for Care Initiatives, the parent company of Southern Hills, Jason Bridie. “I don’t think there were any red flags.”

The care center worked with officers and helped determine Montanyo-Garcia was using the name and social security number of the real Maria Velasquez of Philidelphia, PA. If Montanyo-Garcia is in the U.S. illegally, the court decision might have a big impact on her case—or whether she’ll be prosecuted at all.

“We’ve charged her with what we can charge her,” said Duffus. “According to the Iowa Supreme Court, we’re supposed to send that on to immigration.

We’ve done that, but I’m not sure if they’re going to do anything with it.”

“I will say, I firmly disagree with the ruling,” he said.

Northey calls for updates to Iowa Hay and Straw Directory DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today encouraged Iowa hay and straw producers to register or update their listing on the Iowa Hay and Straw Directory. The directory lists Iowa producers, as well as organizations and businesses associated with promoting and marketing quality hay and straw.

“The directory has been a great tool for both buyers and sellers, and we hope farmers will take the time to review and update their information so that it remains a valuable resource,” Northey said. “This directory can serve as a critical link for those producing hay and those looking to buy, so we encourage Iowans to take advantage of this free directory.”

The listing is available to interested buyers throughout the nation, however only sellers from within Iowa can be included on the list.

Sections within the Hay and Straw Directory include “Forage for Sale,” “Forage Auctions,” “Hay Associations,” “Forage Dealers,” “Hay Grinders” and “Custom Balers.”

Farmers interested in listing should visit www.IowaAgriculture.gov. An application form can be found by going to the “Bureaus” link and then selecting “Agricultural Diversification and Market Development.” Then click on “Hay & Straw Directory” on the right side of the page under “Directories.”

For those without internet access, please call the Hay/Straw Hotline at 800383-5079. The Department will fax or send a printed copy of the application to be filled out.

The Department is also supporting the Iowa Crop Improvement Association’s “Iowa Noxious Weed Seed Free Forage and Mulch Certification Program.” Through this program Iowa forage and mulch producers can take advantage of many emerging market opportunities for “Certified Weed Free” products. For more specific information on this program producers should contact the Iowa Crop Improvement Association at 515-294-6921or visit http:// www.iowacrop.org/Weed_ Free.htm.

OBITUARIES

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Robert Cerven Weldon

Robert (Bob) Dean Cerven of rural Weldon died peacefully in his sleep June 9, 2017, at Kavanagh House in Des Moines at the age of 92 years, 11 months and 9 days.

Bob was born July 1, 1924, on the family farm in Taylor County, the first child of four born to Margorie (Akers) and Oscar Cerven. He attended grammar school at a nearby country school after which he attended and g r a d - Cerven uated from high school in Gravity. Work on the farm, even as a young child, afforded little time for play or extra-curricular school activities. Life for the young boy growing up during the depression years was hard. He found happiness though in the form of his Grandfather Akers. Perhaps Bob’s fondest childhood memories grew from time spent with him – among them driving to Gravity in his grandfather’s shiny green Whippet for an ice cream cone, eating thick slices of bread slathered with honey from his grandfather’s bee hives, swinging lazily in the hammock strung between two shade trees in the front yard, filling baskets with apples in the orchard on hot summer days, his grandfather joking and teasing and spinning witty quips that Bob would share with others into his own later years.

Bob met his one and only love, Betty Jean Allen, in Oak Hill Church, a small country church in Taylor County where she was singing with her brother. “I knew she was the one when I saw her and heard her sing,” he would reminisce. Life moves faster and with greater urgency during wartime, and the young people married in a whirlwind on June 4, 1944, after Bob was drafted into the U.S. Navy at 19 years and before he was shipped out to sea.

The young sailor served aboard the USS YMS-411 Minesweeper, disabling mines in the waters off islands held by Japanese forces in the South Pacif-

ic and rising to the rank of Boatswain’s Mate Second Class.

Upon receiving an honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy after the war, Bob returned home to his young bride where they began their life together, working a small farm in Taylor County and starting their young family – five children in five years – Linda, Bobby, twins Janet and Janice and Patty. His grandfather would play a vital part in the young family’s life as Bob and he worked alongside each other once again, farming and building a corn crib and garage together.

In 1956 after Grandfather Akers had died, Bob and Betty moved their family to a farm in southern Clarke County where they farmed more than 55 years, working hard and fiercely relying on themselves with God to see them through hard times. As a business man and farmer, Bob would be known in the community for his honesty and the fine quality of his livestock and for his care and respect for his farmland – rotating crops religiously, seeding tired ground and waterways, terracing flat grounds, building and mending fences. As a family man, his children and their needs came first, above all else, and as the family circle expanded to grandchildren and then great-grandchildren, children remained at the center of his life. There would always be tractor rides and newborn animals to share with them with a little teasing splashed in to the delight of grandchildren.

Preceding Bob in death are his beloved wife Betty; his son Robert Cerven Jr.; grandson Christopher Street; parents, Margorie and Oscar Cerven; brother Dale Cerven and sonin-law Jerry Sparks.

To cherish his memory, Bob leaves behind daughters, Linda (Jerry) Street of Norwalk, Janet Sparks of Osceola, Janice (Steven) Whitham of Shawnee, Kansas, and Patty (Mike) Street of Milo; 11 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; sister Dorothy Hicks of New Market; brother Duane Cerven of Westboro, Missouri; sisterin-law Marcia Cerven of Corning; numerous nieces and nephews, other relatives and close friends.

Change is the law of life.

BACK IN TIME

BEGINNING LIFE ON AN IOWA FARM IN THE EARLY PART OF 1900 WILLIAM AND MARY (MAYTUM) McGEE FAMILY — PART I

By Edit Naomi (McGee) Smith Edited by Marie White Clarke County Historical Society

The faintest glow of the coming dawn could be discerned in the east. Now and then fragrant breaths of stirring breezes also heralded the awakening of the farm and its inhabitants. In one of the old Roman Stem apple trees an early rising Robin gave a sharp chirp. A horse stamped

his foot on the plank floor of the barn, snorting hay dust from his nostrils. Still the family slept. The old dog awakened from one of the catnaps he had taken now and then through the night. The darkness was pushed back moment by moment, colors appeared in the sky, mauve, purple, lavender, pink, faint yellow and streaks of red. The breeze quickened as light appeared in the sky. The first rays (hot) entered

the coffee-the sound so familiar to our ears and the pleasant sensation of a final few minutes of relaxation as the grinding proceeded. Then coffee was purchased at the little Jamison store not far away.

As the work day began the older boys and girls began to straggle down stairs finishing donning the meager garments worn in hot weather. There were six boys and six girls although not all were

at home at one time.

Feet were usually bare and brown, but clean.

Before retiring each must wash his feet in a bucket placed on the cement floor near the door and each must thoroughly dry his feet on some cast off shirt or other rag towel before he got between the sheets. Woe to the careless urchin who left dirty streaks or spots for Mother to notice.

The next night he was sure to be singled out and carefully super-

vised and admonished as he washed his bare feet.

A peach sprout was always laying on the warming shelf above the kitchen stove as a stirring reminder to all wrong doers. Occasionally the wrong child got the licking but Mama said “probably needed it anyway”.

When the milking was finished, breakfast was ready. Table manners were observed.

Bread was baked in large amounts. At one

time it took a fifty pound sack of flour a week. Cornmeal was used nearly every day in making mush and cornbread. Sorghum was raised on the farm and taken to the mill to be made into molasses.

Sometimes 30 gallons was brought home in jars and jugs.

We had great fun and the folks were with us if we didn’t interfere with work or destroy things.

Explaining the new fireworks law

USDA releases requirements for beef exported to China Written specifications for US beef exported to China is a big step forward, according to Iowa Cattlemen’s Association CEO Matt Deppe.

“We’ve been hearing for some time that China would re-open to US exports, but until recently, the details were unclear,” says Deppe.

“The requirements released by the US Department of Agriculture on Monday give the industry a much better understanding of the nature of the beef products that will be accepted.”

The requirements are more stringent than most other international destinations for US beef. The beef must be from cattle: -less than 30 months of age -born, raised in the US, Mexico or Canada -slaughtered in the US -free of growth promotants, feed additives and other chemical compounds including ractopamine These requirements may initially challenge some producers and processors, but various voluntary process-verified programs exist that would meet the specifications.

“There can be more costs associated with these programs, but there may also be more profit,” says Deppe.

“Regardless, the programs are voluntary and it will be up to individual producers to decide whether participation in a process-verified program works for them.”

Cows were bawling to be milked and for their calves. Pigs squealed and an old sow grunted along followed by a dozen little replicas of herself.

International trade has been a priority for the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, which represents 10,000 members in the state of Iowa on legislative and policy issues such as this.

“Beef exports have the potential to dramatically increase Iowa cattle producers’ bottom lines. Most of the products exported, like tongue, hides and offal, are not valued to US consumers, and would become waste products without international markets,” says Deppe.

US beef has not been allowed in China since 2003.

ICA has encouraged governmental leaders to expand beef trade through policy agreements, and is appreciative of the emphasis the White House has placed on agricultural trade with China. ICA President, Mike Cline and Deppe will travel to China in July with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds to further expand the market for US beef there.

Other key importers of US beef include Japan, Mexico, South Korea and others.

ICA’s regional meetings this month feature a “Tour of the World” taste-testing event, where participants can sample traditional beef dishes from international destinations and learn about the beef products enjoyed there.

The Iowa Legislature passed a law legalizing the sale and discharge of fireworks. The entire bill is about 10 pages long and deals mostly with the licensing of those who desire to sell fireworks. For purposes of this article I’m not going to discuss all the requirements to obtain a sales license.

Instead I’ll try to highlight the important points relative to the discharging of fireworks and how it impacts the citizens of Osceola.

First, while the bill legalizes the sale and discharging of fireworks, the Legislature gave Counties and Cities the ability to “opt out” if you will.

In other words, Coun-

ties and Cities can pass ordinances banning the discharge of fireworks completely or pass ordinances that are more restrictive on the days and hours fireworks can be discharged. Some Counties and Cities have completely banned their discharge while others have limited the discharge to one day and between certain hours.

Osceola has elected to wait, before passing any ordinances, to see how well the new State Law is obeyed.

The police department has been tasked with tracking calls during the times and dates below and will forward that information to the city council. They will review it and decide whether or not to pass ordinances relative to the

discharge of fireworks next year.

Here are the annual dates and hours authorized by the new State law: June 1 through July 8, each year 9 a.m., to 10 p.m.

July 4 and the Saturday and Sunday immediately prior to, 9 a.m., to 11 p.m. and immediately preceding the 4th.

Dec. 10 through Jan. 3 each year 9 a.m., to 10 p.m.

Dec. 31 each year 9 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. the immediately following day The Saturday and Sunday immediately prior to 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and immediately following Dec. 31.

The law requires the purchaser of fireworks to be at least 18 years of age and

requires fireworks to be discharged on your own personal private property or the personal private property of another with their consent.

Fireworks cannot be discharged on public property or parks belonging to cities, counties or the State.

The new law, while authorizing the discharge of fireworks and providing dates and times for their discharge, does not permit the disturbance of others. Therefore, if the police department receives noise complaints we will ask whoever is discharging the fireworks to stop regardless of the hour. If compliance isn’t gained after the warning then citations may be issued for the noise. This is no different than in years past. The complaining

party will be asked to sign a noise complaint in order for the citation to be i s sued.

This too, is no diff e r - Duffus e n t than in years past. If a signed complaint is not obtained the department will not stop the discharge of the fireworks. If the City or County is under a burn ban issued by the State Fire Marshal, the discharge of fireworks is also banned.

Of course we encourage everyone to be safe when discharging fireworks.

If you have questions regarding this new law or any other law please contact the police department.

Classical guitarist Jeff Bianchi returns to Osceola Clarke Area Arts Council sponsors free concert Saturday, June 17 On 7 p.m. Saturday, June 17th, classical guitarist Jeff Bianchi will return to Iowa to give a concert for the community at the Osceola United Methodist Church.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The concert is sponsored by The Clarke Area Arts Council and is part of Bianchi’s 2017 Summer concert season.

As a native of Williamson, New York, Jeff began performing at weddings and cafes while still in his teens.

The uniqueness of the classical guitar coupled with his professionalism enabled him to stay working over the years. As his skills grew, he gave full concerts throughout Western New York. His hard work earned him performances at the Rantucci International Guitar Festival as well as the nationally recognized Ithaca Guitar Festival. His concerts continued with his move to Atlanta in the summer of 2002.

Pictured is classical guitarist Jeff Bianchi.

From 2005 to 2007, Bianchi took a hiatus to tour nationally with country acts Young Guns (Nashville, Tennessee) and Chace Roberts (St. Paul, Minnesota). As an electric guitarist, he toured much of North America; playing clubs and dance halls with capacity crowds. It was an exciting time in Bianchi’s life and quite the adventure. On his return home, Bianchi resumed his solo performances. By 2009, he was touring throughout Georgia, playing in places such as Savannah, Tybee Island, Toccata, Richmond, Duluth, and Hartwell. Large, enthusiastic crowds were the norm at these events. These positive reactions together gave him a goal to take his music to a much wider audience.

In February of 2010, Jeff undertook his first cross-country solo tour.

CCSB’s Jacobson completes Iowa School of Banking OSCEOLA – Nicole Jacobson of Clarke County State Bank in Osceola successfully completed training and certification courses for the 2017 Iowa School of Banking held June 4 to 9, 2017, at the Marriott Hotel in Coralville.

The one-week, two-year school, offered by the Iowa Bankers Association, provides a challenging, educational experience in addition to peer-to-peer networking.

The advanced, interactive curriculum addresses the latest in the functionality of banking departments and financial management as well as best practices for the business of banking. Practical experience is gained using computer simulations, lectures, case studies and discussion. The school faculty includes active bankers, consultants and academicians, all highly recognized experts in the banking and

finance industries.

Nicole, a well-known team member of the CCSB Mortgage department, has been with the bank since 2012 working her way from teller through personal banking associate to loan officer. With over a decade of banking experience, her continued commitment to

furthering her education in the banking industry reflects the integral part she and the bank play in providing the most up-to-date banking services for the community they serve.

“Our team’s continued commitment to serving the community creates amazing challenges,” said Jacobson,

“This certification certainly signifies a career milestone for me and a real benefit for all those we serve.”

“In today’s banking environment, it is imperative to have a team that can stay ahead of the curve on banking best practices.” Dave Selene, President and CEO of Clarke County Bank, stated.

“I am glad Nicole made the commitment to completing this two year school.”

Clarke County State Bank has served the South-Central Iowa community since 1935. With three offices, two in Osceola and one in Murray, Iowa, the CCSB team provides a close-knit community with personal and business banking solutions focused on growth and stability. For more information on Clarke County State Bank, go to www.clarkebank.com

Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, he gave concerts for audiences as large as 600 people. The overwhelming success of this tour enabled him to expand his solo career to a national level. Jeff continued his success in 2011 with performances in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida. His success sky rocketed in 2012 and 2013 with successful concerts as far away as Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Wisconsin.

Concerts were also given in Texas, Ohio and the entire southeast.

His 2014 through 2016 concert seasons built upon the success of previous years. Repeat visits included venues in Alabama, Wyoming, South Carolina, North Carolina Georgia and Mississippi. These seasons also included first-time visits to Minnesota, West Virginia,

Pennsylvania and Iowa.

Bianchi’s 2017 concert season includes performances in the Georgia, Minnesota, South Carolina, and Iowa. His program consists of music by Laurent de St. Luc, William Lovelady, Jose Luis Merlin and Heitor Villa-Lobos.

Jeff first visited Iowa in August 2016. He enjoyed it so much he made it a point to return for his current performing season. On performing in Osceola, Jeff says, “I’m honored to have the opportunity to work with the Clarke Area Arts Council again. Iowa was such a wonderful state to visit last year, and the audience in Osceola was very welcoming. I am looking forward to returning.”

CDs will be available for $15 following the performance.

Book explores Iowa’s rich religious diversity DES MOINES — When refugees from India brought their Hindu beliefs to Iowa, there was no official place for their community to worship together. They made do by assembling in homes to practice their faith. Today the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of Iowa, an ornate white marble structure that rises above the cornfields 30 miles northwest of Des Moines’ metro, is one of 15 religious communities featured in one of the Drake

Community Press’ latest books, A Spectrum of Faith: Religions of the World in America’s Heartland, released April 6.

The book, a 134-page coffee-table-style paperback, is a culmination of more than two years of work by Drake students and faculty, as well as numerous academic courses, an editorial board, a local photographer, donors, community-involved committees, and an interfaith partner. Rich with stunning

Who am I? Why am I here? As a hospice chaplain, these are questions I seek to have patients for whom I help provide care answer for themselves in the most vulnerable time of their life. However, they are questions I believe we need to be asking of ourselves throughout our life, not just in our dying days. God told the prophet, Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” In Psalm 139, David prays to God, “For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”

The great clergyman Harry Emerson Fosdick once dealt with this question of who you and I are in God’s eyes. His argument is compelling and affirming.

Fosdick noted that, “The more we know about any subject, the less we think in terms of the general and the more we think in terms of the specific. For example, let’s suppose my car breaks down. I open the hood and I stare at a mass of wires, rubber and metal - - none of which mean anything to me. I don’t know any-

thing about cars, so when I look under the hood, it is all one big blob. But a trained mechanic will look under the hood of my car and he or she will not see a blob or a mass.

The mechanic will see the carburetor and the fuel pump, and will reach into a part of the motor that I do not even see and tighten a connecting wire. You see, the more you know about cars, the less you think in terms of the blob, the mass, and the more you think about individual parts.”

Now, think of God. God has five billion children on this planet.

That’s a lot. When God looks at humanity, does God see a faceless blob?

Of course not. God, who is the Source of all knowledge, does not see the general. God sees the specific.

We know how this works. Remember the small boy in Syria who was found alive in the rubble of the bombing that killed his family?

Who can ever forget his face? Before that, for most of us, the victims of the horrible civil war in Syria were just a faceless blob. Now we have a face. We know more, we understand more, we feel some of the pain.

From three Jewish synagogues to two Sikh gurdwaras, three Islamic mosques, two churches, one basilica, two Buddhist temples, and two Hindu communities, the diversity moves beyond Protestant

and Catholic traditions, which, according to a Pew Research Study, are the predominant religions of most Iowans.

CRESTON – Class 1A 10th-ranked Murray tested itself against quality competition at last weekend’s John Stephens Softball Classic, hosted by Creston.

The Lady Mustangs came away with three victories over Class 3A teams, including a 2-0 shutout of Class 3A No. 3 Atlantic and a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Clarke. Murray also defeated Bondurant-Farrar, 5-3.

After surrendering an RBI infield single to Sadie Marker in the top of the first inning against Clarke, sophomore pitcher Kayla Wookey cruised through the Clarke lineup over the next five innings.

Wookey finished the game with eight strikeouts

and only allowed four more baserunners the remainder of the game.

It was Wookey’s infield single in the bottom of the sixth inning that kept Murray’s hopes alive, still trailing 1-0.

After Alexis Watson had retired the first two Murray batters of the inning, Brandi Gilbert drew a walk.

Wookey then legged out an infield single to keep the inning alive on a controversial call at first base.

Gilbert moved to third base on the play, and after Wookey stole second base, Kelli Romero hit a ball in the hole at shortstop. A throwing error to first base allowed both Gilbert and Wookey to score the tying and winning runs for Murray.

After another throwing error by Clarke and a walk to Hailey Chew, the 90-minute time limit was reached, ending the game in the middle of the bottom half of the sixth inning.

ST. MARYS – The Clarke baseball team picked up its first two wins of the season June 3 on its way to winning the Martensdale-St. Marys tournament.

Clarke started the day by hammering Lamoni 11-1.

Sophomore Payton Winship worked an efficient five innings, surrendering only two hits and issuing just two walks. Winship struck out 12 Lamoni batters while giving up no earned runs.

Offensively, Winship helped his own cause by going 3-for-4 at the dish with a double, one stolen base and three runs batted in. Senior first baseman Ethan Potter went 2-for4 with two runs scored, a double, triple, two stolen bases and three RBI. Conner Deutsch finished a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with three stolen bases, two runs scored and one RBI out of the leadoff

position. Senior Billy Otto stole three bases and drove in one run, while junior Zach Smith added two hits and one RBI. Eighth-grader Casey Kindred swiped two bags and hit a double, while Marshall Curnes drew a pair of walks and stole two bases.

Clarke came back to beat Des Moines Christian 6-3 to win the tournament.

Both teams plated one run in the first inning.

Clarke added one run in the third and four more in the fifth to take a commanding 6-1 lead.

But, Des Moines Christian pushed two runs across in the seventh inning to trim the lead to 6-3.

Deutsch earned the win on the mound for the Indians, throwing 6 1/3 innings of three-hit ball, giving up three runs on one walk and three strikeouts. Otto closed out the game, pitching the final 2/3 inning with one hit allowed and one strikeout.

Diehl: ‘I like the way this Errors, free passes hamper Mustangs in loss team is coming together’ Wins over ranked opponents have Lady Indians headed in right direction n

By SCOTT VICKER

OST managing editor svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Clarke head softball coach Lindsay Diehl knows she should be happy with her team’s 6-1 win over Chariton Monday night.

But the path to the 6-1 victory wasn’t the path she’d like to see her team take.

Clarke led 2-1 going into the bottom of the sixth inning before adding four insurance runs on its way to the 6-1 victory.

That game served as a microcosm for Clarke’s season thus far.

“We are either hitting or we’re not hitting. We don’t have that in between where a couple kids string hits together,” Diehl said. “We need to really make sure we’re focusing on that tomorrow. I’ve got to change some things up in our pregame. We need to do some things that will cause us to have a little more discipline at the plate.”

Despite the inconsistency at the plate so far this season, Diehl said she feels good about where her team is headed at this point in the season.

There’s reason for her optimism, as Clarke just

beat a pair of ranked teams at the end of last week.

“I keep telling kids, ‘I won’t lie to you. I won’t tell you I think you’re something I don’t think you’re capable of reaching,’” Diehl said. “I like the way this team is coming together. These kids are picking each other up and cheering for each other and wanting everybody to be successful.”

Clarke rolled past Class 5A 12th-ranked Fort Dodge 9-1 on June 9, as senior Alex Boyce pitched her first complete game since her sophomore season.

Boyce limited Fort Dodge to just six hits and issued four walks, but struck out seven in the victory. She had previously been held to a pitch count of 50, but she felt good against Fort Dodge so Diehl let her stay in the game.

MURRAY — Through two innings, Murray’s baseball team was playing on even terms with visiting Wayne of Corydon Monday night, knotted at 3-3.

Starting pitcher Owen Tracy helped his own cause with a two-run double in Murray’s three-run second inning.

Then the floodgates opened for the Falcon offense with five runs in the top of the third, followed by six more runs in the following two innings for a 14-5 lead on the way to a 14-6 victory.

Tracy was relieved by Ke-

before sophomore Jimmy Graham finished with two shutout innings. Graham allowed only one hit in getting the final six outs.

“A lot of what happened tonight has to do with our inexperience with the pitching staff,” said Murray coach Tucker Guion. “But Graham looked good. He’s always right around the strike zone and he’s efficient. We just put too many guys on base in the first few innings. On nights like this, you put guys up there and hope for the best, and hope to win your conference games.”

The Mustangs had 11 hits

runners on base. Reece Held had three singles and an RBI. Kenny Boles had a pair of hits and stole home in the third inning. Tracy finished with a double, single and two runs batted in.

Murray, now 5-5, travels to Seymour tonight in Bluegrass Conference play.

PROPOSED 6-INCH REPLACEMENT PIPELINE

THURSDAY • JUNE 15, 2017

MURRAY: CONT. FROM | 1A

“I did say, ‘Hey, I’m getting old. I’ve had a heart attack. Can you all just do that in the fourth or fifth inning?’” Murray head coach Danny Jensen about his team’s comeback win.

Watson was the hard-luck loser in the contest, having surrendered just four hits in the game and striking out five with three walks.

The Lady Indian offense was unable to muster enough firepower to give Watson the win, collecting only four hits against Wookey.

Clarke put together another scoring opportunity in the top of the third inning when Ashlynn Oehlert led off with a single and stole second, but was thrown out at home trying to score on CeJay Blakely’s single to shallow left field.

Kaitlyn Halsband led off the top of the fifth inning with a single, but was stranded at third base.

Atlantic win Murray stunned Class 3A No. 3 Atlantic with two runs in the sixth inning to post a 2-0 win over the Trojans.

Atlantic had entered the John Stephens Softball Classic undefeated. The Trojans started Saturday’s portion

BB: CONT. FROM | 1A

Offensively, Otto and Potter each drove in two runs for Clarke, while Curnes and Smith drove in one apiece.

Deutsch finished with three stolen bases out of the leadoff spot in the order.

Winship and Smith each collected two hits at the plate.

Clarke followed up the Martensdale-St. Marys tournament with a 15-0

of the Classic with a 3-2 loss to Clarke before Murray handed Atlantic its second straight loss of the day.

Romero drove in one run for Murray, as Gilbert and Zadie Hatfield each scored a run for the Lady Mustangs in the win.

Bre Klein worked around six walks in the win, surrendering only one hit while striking out eight. She worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning.

Klein and Kendra Boles each recorded two hits in the win for Murray.

“It’s a nice win to come over here and get a couple W’s,” Jensen said. “Even if we’d lost those two (Atlantic and Clarke), it would have been fun. I love this tournament.”

On Friday, Murray did all of its scoring in the third inning of a 5-3 win over Class 3A Bondurant-Farrar.

Wookey picked up the win in the pitching circle with seven strikeouts and seven hits allowed. She helped her own cause by hitting a two-run homer. Gilbert and Klein each drove in one run apiece.

Relay for Life raises $28,700 for cancer research and survivor care

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

With only a handful of volunteers for this year’s Relay for Life, event organizers managed to surpass their fundraising goals and create a fun-filled event — in spite of blazing hot temperatures and wildly windy conditions.

“Last year there was a huge storm,” said volunteer Diane Ogbourne. “The breeze is making it bearable.”

The determined attitude was evident in every member of every team on the track.

“It could have been worse,” said Relay for Life Committee Member Brian Wilcox. “There could have been no wind at all!”

Rallied on for the fourth year in a row by Event Chair Karen Irwin, Saturday’s relay more than met its goals.

“We don’t have an exact total, but it is approximately $28,700 at this point. Our goal was $20,000, so we are thrilled,” said Irwen.

In addition to sponsors, money was raised through a silent auction and concession stand held during the

event. The committee kept participants interested by scheduling themed laps and providing games and other activities, particularly for the kids who attended.

Relay teams were created in support of cancer survivors or by businesses, like Team Schell who showed up to support Michelle Wessel.

“This is my fourth year,” said Wessel. “We work with [Karen] at Mosaic. I think she has some neat ideas and does a great job of getting everyone together.”

When Wessel started coming to Relay for Life, it was to honor her mother, Margaret Delpierre,

who lost her battle with lung cancer several years ago. Two years ago, Wessel faced her own diagnosis.

She was a speaker last year.

This year, survivor Lynsey Manternach opened the ceremonies while talking about the tremendous impact head and neck cancer had on her life and her family. Even now that she’s been cancer free for two years, the effects still make their mark.

“The side effects of treatments were like a dark cloud over me,” said Manternach, who credits everyday superheroes — liker her husband Zach, and several other friends and family members

— with keeping their family together through the worst of it.

The American Cancer Society also made a huge difference. With the help OST photo by HILARY FERRAND of the Hope Lodge, Manternach was able to save Food and fare: Hank Bauer, 17, of Bevington brought his thousands of dollars while guitar and harmonica show to Tuesday’s Farmers Market on the having a safe, comfortable square. place to stay during treatments.

Roughly 130 people participated in Relay for Life 2017, including those currently struggling with treatments and those who’ve won the battle. Survivors took the first lap around the track, and then were joined by their support systems, who walked for hours until the closing ceremonies after dark.

While the event was a success, there’s still plenty of work to do according to Irwen. Passionately, persistently dedicated to supporting survivors and continued research, her goal is simple: to create a world where cancer no longer exPuzzle page 4 ists.

From 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Thursday, June 22, Bark for Life will be held on the square. Similar to Relay for Life, the event raises money for cancer survivors and research, all with the help of Man’s Best Friend.
