Crawford’s school board seat up for election in November

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Thanks to a legal technicality, there is an open Clarke Community School Board seat available for the November election.

According to Clarke Superintendent Steve Seid, the county auditor informed the school b o a r d about Bri- Seid an Crawford, who was appointed to position on the board in fall 2015.

The board thought Crawford would have the seat until the next school board election. However, the seat is actually filled until the next general election, which is the presidential election Tuesday, Nov. 8.

“It was a little bit different than what we were under the impression of initially,” Seid said.

Any interest?

This means the school board seat is also open to members of the public in the election. If someone in the Clarke community is interested, he or she needs to fill out the appropriate paperwork and have it returned to officials by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31.

Crawford said he will run for re-election for his board seat.

However, this is the opportunity for someone to file paperwork and potentially make it a contested race.

School board seats are four-year terms. This seat would be filled until the next school board election, which is in 2019.

“I just thought the public should know that, if anybody had any interest,” Seid said.

There’s nothing like a little outdoor music in the evening.

Will Schmitt, a musician born and raised in Winterset, will bring his “Spirit of Chautauqua” concert series to East Lake Park’s Lion’s Pride Shelter from 7 to 8 p.m. Sunday, July 24.

“The magic of it, for me, is to meet people, and in such beautiful settings,” Schmitt said. “It has made it all the more rewarding.”

The name of the concert series is a tribute to the lively Chautauqua festivals that brought entertainment to Iowa communities a century ago.

Schmitt will tour 45 counties across the state this summer.

The Osceola stop of the tour is presented by Clarke County Conservation. It is free of charge, and CDs and a tip jar will be available for donations.

Inspiration for the tour came to Schmitt as he was backpacking along the Pacific Crest Trail last year.

“After 700 miles of desert hiking, I reached the Sierra Nevada mountains and was awestruck by the natural beauty of the area,” he said. “I felt a deeper appreciation for the public lands of America and a curiosity about the many parks that dot the landscape in my home state.

I initially thought of doing a bicycle tour but felt that by hosting concerts, I could better share the experience with others.”

In Osceola Schmitt said he hasn’t been to the Clarke County area since high school but remembered going on picnics with friends at East Lake Park.

With his family-friendly show, he’s looking forward to the chance to see some old friends, as well as make new ones.

“It’s fun seeing the little kids bop their heads and the older crowd tap their feet,” Schmitt said. “It’s nice to be able to communicate so easily with a broad range of people.”

Now, he best described his music as somewhere between John Denver and James Taylor — musically and storytelling-wise.

He has also gained a lot of inspiration from Paul Simon.

“It seems like a lot of the songwriters I listen to are from that era,” Schmitt said. “I find it easy to sing Simon and Garfunkel songs.”

FOR THE RECORD

Three child drowning deaths prompt reminder • Parents, caregivers urged to be vigilant in supervision The Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner (IOSME) and the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) issued a reminder for parents and caregivers to keep a close eye on children playing in or around water.

According to IOSME, three children have died from drowning recently in July.

“Since July 5, we’ve had two 2-year-olds and one 6-year-old die from drowning,” said acting State Medical Examiner Dennis Klein. “Adults losing track of the children for several minutes appears to be a major factor in these drownings.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the leading cause of death by unintentional injury in children between the ages of 1 and 5.

Iowans should remember water safety yearround in pools, spas, indoor water parks and aquatic facilities. During the summer, equal attention needs to be paid when visiting beaches and lakes.

“Parents and caregivers must provide direct supervision to all young children and non-swimmers, even when lifeguards are provided,” said Debbi Cooper, IDPH environmental health specialist.

Other safety tips to remember when near or in water: • Use life jackets for non-swimmers to bridge momentary lapses in supervision.

• All Iowans, children and adults alike, should use life jackets on recreational waters.

• Learn to swim and teach your children as well. Formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning, particularly among young children.

• Provide fences with self-closing, self-latching closures around swimming pools and spas.

• Avoid alcohol use while swimming or supervising children.

Deadline extended: Grassley fall internship applications due Aug. 1 WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said the deadline for fall internships for college-age Iowans has been extended.

Applications will now be accepted through Aug. 1, 2016.

Internships are available in Grassley’s Washington, D.C., office as well as his offices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo. The semester-long internships will run from August 22 through December 16.

Interns assist staff members with administrative, legislative and communications work, including that of Grassley’s staff on the committee on the judiciary, where he serves as chairman.

An internship allows for a wide range of learning experience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill.

Grassley said he encour-

ages young Iowans who are interested in learning more about the government to apply.

“Interning in a congressional office is a good way for college students and new graduates to learn more about the legislative branch of the federal government while gaining valuable experience. Internships in my offices are available to students in all areas of study,” Grassley said.

Application forms are available on Grassley’s website and in Grassley’s offices in Iowa.

Because of security-related delays in postal mail delivery to U.S. Senate office buildings, internship applications should be emailed to intern_applications@grassley.senate.gov or faxed to 202-224-5136.

For additional information, email molly_foley@ grassley.senate.gov or call 202-224-3744.

GasBuddy releases fuel update, outlook Average retail gasoline prices in have fallen 4.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.18/g recently, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,036 gas outlets.

This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.6 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.20/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in during the past week, prices recently were 52.6 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 14.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.

The national average has decreased 13.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 55.7 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on in have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.70/g in, $3.50/g in, $3.61/g in, $3.42/g in and $3.63/g in.

Areas nearby and their current gas price climate: Quad Cities — $2.12/g, down 0.8 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.13/g.

Omaha — $2.20/g, down 0.4 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.21/g.

“Summer travel is up, and yet, gas prices continue to decline? We know that seems perplexing for many, but that’s exactly what’s happening and it all comes down to those most basic fundamentals; supply and demand,” said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com.

“Despite fuel consumption near record levels, U.S. gasoline inventory recently reached the highest July level ever recorded (240.1 million bbl) and, concurrently, the national average has continued its consistent decline,” he added.

OBITUARIES/NEWS Keep pets cool, comfortable and safe during hot weather OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

THURSDAY • JULY 21, 2016

Virgil Reynolds Auburn, Wash.

Summer may be a time for vacations and recreational activities for human beings, but pets may not be privy to the same luxuries.

Summer recreation may not always include our fourlegged friends, as summer heat and other issues can pose a threat to companion animals. As a result, pet parents must make pet safety a priority when the weather heats up.

The Humane Society of the United States says that the summer months can be uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. Temperatures that may be tolerable for adults and children who are dressed accordingly may not be so for animals covered in fur.

It’s vital to help pets stay comfortable and safe as summer temperatures heat up. Pet parents also must be aware of particular dangers that go hand-in-hand with summertime activities.

• Practice vehicle safety. It is never acceptable to leave pets in parked cars, even for a minute. Temperatures inside vehicles can rise quickly and considerably in a matter of minutes, even with the windows opened slightly. HSUS says on an 85-degree-day, temperatures inside parked cars can reach 102 F within 10 minutes. Pets can suffer irreversible and even fatal organ damage in that period of time. If you have to run errands, keep dogs and cats at home where they will be more comfortable.

Virgil (Clyde) Reynolds, 85, of Auburn, Washington, died July 11, 2016, at Auburn Meadows M e m o r y Reynolds Care in Auburn, Washington.

A service is planned at 10 a.m. Friday, July 29, at Tahoma National Cemetery in Covington, Washington.

The family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, in lieu of

flowers.

Virgil, who was known as Clyde by friends and family, was born Nov. 28, 1930, and was a longtime resident of Osceola. Virgil and his wife Marie raised three children, Debra, Randy and Benny (Jodi). The family owned and operated the bowling alley in Osceola before relocating in 1968 to Auburn, Washington, where Virgil worked for the Boeing Company and the City of Auburn, retiring in 1990.

Virgil is survived by his three children, brother Joe (Francelia) Reynolds of Osceola and many nieces and nephews.

Virgil was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, two sisters and his wife of 53 years.

• Stay off of hot asphalt.

If you’ve ever walked on the hot sand or an asphalt driveway on a hot day, you understand just how scorching those surfaces can get. Dogs and cats do not have protective shoes to wear, so safeguard the delicate pads of their paws by keeping companion animals off of hot surfaces. Schedule walks in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler.

• Schedule a pet grooming visit. The American Veterinary Medical Foundation suggests speaking with your veterinarian to see if it’s appropriate for your pet to get clipped shorter or to be

shaved in the summer. But a fur coat can offer protection from the sun, so weigh the pros and cons before taking action. Apply sunscreen to your dog’s skin if he or she has a thin coat.

• Provide a way for pets to cool off. If you’re hot, chances are your pet is hot, too. Offer a means for pets too cool off, such as a wading pool when you are outside. Offer plenty of fresh water. Keep pets who do not enjoy the heat indoors with the air conditioner running on hot days.

• Look for indicators of heat stress. The American Veterinary Association says heat stress is marked by

heavy panting, dry or bright red gums, thick drool, vomiting, diarrhea, or wobbly legs. Move pets exhibiting such symptoms to a cool place, drape a damp towel over the animal’s body, rewetting the cloth frequently, and get the animal to the vet as soon as you possibly can.

• Exercise caution in the water. Dogs can get swept away by rip currents just like human swimmers. If you will be boating, invest in a life jacket for your pooch and look for water hazards, such as currents, sink holes, and blue-green algae in lakes and ponds.

Successful reunion

By Denise Holt Des Moines

Clarke Community class of 1976 held its 40-year reunion July 2.

Thirteen are now deceased of the original 110 members – Clarke High’s 100th graduating class. A great turnout of 47 actual classmates, plus their guests, came to events at either Dorland’s, the Eagle’s Club or both.

Because of rain, several returned to Dorland’s July 3 to sharpen their

Heston has also lost family members in car accidents, and had they been wearing their seat belts, they would likely still be alive.

“We’re all affected by the dangers of driving and people not being responsible in their own cars,” she said.

Personal platform Along with seat belt and car safety, Heston is also promoting her own platform, which is drug abuse.

She started the Pink Pinky Promise, and her foundation will help raise money for local charities. She said she’s cur-

shooting skills.

Generous sponsors providing prizes for games played during the Eagle’s event included Osceola Fareway, Osceola Farm and Home, Boyt Harness, Osceola Hy-Vee, Lakeside Casino and Hotel, Texas Roadhouse, Johnston and Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive.

Plans will begin soon on the 45th reunion. Requests have been made to hold it at a time other than the Fourth of July weekend.

rently working with Restoration Ranch in Osceola.

Members of Heston’s family have struggled with addiction issues, and the color pink comes from their favorite colors.

“I’ve always worked with kids who have had troubles and issues, but when it comes to your own home, it hits a little different,” she said.

Heston believes the two platforms of addiction and seat belt safety also coincide with each other. If a person is an impaired driver, whether it be from alcohol or drugs, he or she is a danger on the road and or to the people in the vehicle.

“I’m here to help,” she said. “I want to help people live a more fruitful, full life.”

Northey comments on Iowa crops, weather report DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently commented on the Iowa crops and weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“In general crops remain in good condition with 81 percent of corn and 80 percent of soybeans rated in good or excellent condition. Many parts of the state have received timely rains, which is very good news with an extended period of high temperatures in the forecast,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia.

The report summary follows here:

Crop report Timely rains this week were beneficial to crops. Statewide there were 4.5 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending July 17, 2016, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

However, there were isolated reports of damage to crops and buildings caused by high winds and hail.

Activities for the week included cutting hay and applying fungicide to corn.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 3 percent very short, 12 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 7 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 3

percent very short, 12 percent short, 80 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus.

Sixty-seven percent of the corn crop had reached the silking stage, five days ahead of last year and a week ahead of average.

Across the state there were scattered reports of corn reaching the dough stage. Corn condition improved slightly to 81 percent good to excellent.

Soybeans blooming reached 66 percent and soybean setting pods reached 20 percent. Both of these soybean stages were four days ahead of 2015 and five days ahead of normal.

Soybean condition rated 80 percent good to excellent this week. Oat acreage turning color or beyond reached 91 percent, with 35 percent of the oat crop harvested for grain or seed, four days ahead of last year. Oat crop condition rated 79 percent good to excellent.

The second cutting of alfalfa hay reached 79 percent, 10 days ahead of normal. The third cutting of alfalfa hay became more widespread this week.

Hay condition was rated at 74 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition rated 61 percent good to excellent.

Livestock saw some stress due to heat and humidity as well as overgrazed pastures in some parts of the state.

BACK IN TIME Hello central

By Lynnette Davis Contributor

Voice activated dialing meant another thing at the turn of the century when the hand crank phone came into homes.

One long crank would connect you to central, where you told the operator who you wanted. Those on your line were dialed by a series of long and short cranks “rings.”

For example, for the number – 8F31 – anyone on the eight exchange you could dial. To dial this number would be three longs and one short. People on other lines could be reached by calling central. The central office handled calls through the switchboard by inserting plugs to connect the calls.

If someone was on the line when you picked up, common courtesy prevailed, you would ask for the line and it was given.

Of course, anyone could listen in. If there were too many on the line, the batteries would have too much drain. The voice would become faint, and people would have to ask for someone to hang up.

Clare Keeney remembered hearing, “I wish the rest of you would hang up, I can hear you breathing!”

Central was on call day and night, and these women knew everything going on in the neighborhood. It was also the place for notifications of fire, deaths, accidents and more.

In 1884, it was noted the Osceola Telephone Exchange would be in operation soon. In 1901, a switchboard was installed at Smyrna and lines ran to Leroy, Weldon, Derby and Woodburn.

In that year, Osceola had 50 subscribers. Rates for subscribers in 1915 were around $30 a year.

Nina King, Aletha Rush, Jessie Stansbury, Mae Hartshorn and Florence Miller were some of the Osceola operators.

Louleen Thompson ran the Osceola switch just short of six years with only two days vacation the entire time.

Fern DeVore ran the 20 line Ottawa switch from the mid30s to mid-40s in the middle of their living room. Their little daughter Beverly even remembered making long distance phone calls by talking to operators to get across the country.

In Woodburn, J.E. Oliver opened the first telephone office in his home, its only location. His niece Neta Staley worked for him in the early teens.

Art and Eva Ecklund were

operators up until the 30s. In the early 30s, Merle and Ella Davenport moved into this home, with Ella operating the switch. High school girls would help at times.

Linda Lee ran it for 18 and a-half years. Marie White remembers visiting her Woodburn cousins and knowing if you ever needed anything you could stop at Mrs. Lee’s house.

She had a blue and white sign at her house indicating it was the telephone office.

Granddaughter Twyla Davis remembers Linda sleeping downstairs in order to be on call. In 1957, the Osceola exchange took over the Woodburn exchange.

Automatic switchboards came into use in the 1960s and the central operator was no longer needed. In the 1970s, long distance direct dial was installed.

Mosquitoes only lay their eggs in standing water, so be mindful of any place where water could pool near your home. Children’s toys, buckets, shovels, plastic covers and old containers can contain standing water and are some of mosquitoes’ favorite places. Other likely spots include water caught in garbage cans, near gutter downspouts and other poorly drained areas.

Preventing mosquitoes starts with habitat reduction.

sure to empty or replace the water in them at least once per week to break the mosquito breeding cycle. Keeping these water sources clean will prevent any mosquito larvae from having time to develop.

Protect yourself Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants when possible.

When outside use EPA-approved mosquito repellants that contain DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon-eucalyptus. If you are traveling outside the U.S. it is especially important to wear effective insect repellants and protective clothing.

Mosquito-borne diseases that may be rare in the U.S. are common in many foreign countries.

Properly maintain your pool

Mosquitoes will use any source of water to lay their eggs, even an inground swimming pool if it’s not properly cared for. This offers a large area of water to fill with eggs. Keep up with your pool’s water treatment plan, filters and water cirChange water culation to keep the mossources weekly quitoes away. AdditionIf you have outdoor pet ally, plastic kiddie pools bowls, fountains, birdbaths, also need to be checked for rain barrels or flower pots, be signs of insect activity.

Roadrunners fall one run short Van Meter rallies past I-35 at state softball tournament n

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

FORT DODGE — Interstate 35’s softball team stood poised to finally do something it had yet to do in program history: win a first round game at the state softball tournament.

Van Meter had other ideas.

The sixth-ranked Bulldogs used a late rally of their own to thwart the fifth-ranked Roadrunners 5-4 at the Rogers Sports Complex Monday in Fort Dodge.

Van Meter, 31-7, advances to face 13th-ranked BCLUW in the Class 2A semifinal 3:30 p.m. today at Mittera Field. The Comets upset top-ranked Durant 2-1 in 11 innings.

Interstate 35, 27-4, fell to the consolation game. The Roadrunners faced Durant, 35-5, Wednesday in the consolation semifinals.

The Roadrunners quest to win a first round game in Fort Dodge will have to wait for another year. “We wanted to be in the winners bracket,� said Interstate 35 coach Tim Bogs. “That was a great goal.

But we still have two more games. We have to be ready to play.�

Bogs wasn’t sure what to expect from the top-ranked Wildcats on Wednesday, but knew his team must be up for the challenge. “The fifth-place game is really hard to play,� Bogs said. “It’s who wants it more. You’re kind of frustrated, especially Durant.

They’re either going to be really angry or so down and depressed they won’t come out and play well. It’s all who comes out and plays well.�

Heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, it appeared that the Roadrunners would come away with their first-ever first-round win at state.

Interstate 35 had just staged a furious rally in the top of the sixth. Kate Stanley walked and Slye Richardson singled to start the inning. After two quick

outs, Josie Wickett, who had homered and singled earlier, was intentionally walked.

Keann Williamson and Olivia Carlson each walked to score a run.

Leadoff batter Lilly Miller reached on an error to score the third run of the inning.

Facing a deficit was a new challenge for the Roadrunners.

They handled it well there. “I’m proud of them,�

Bogs said. “We haven’t been behind that much this year. We did some good things.�

Van Meter had its back against the wall. Twice, Bulldogs coach James Flaws came out to settle his team down. Finally, the Bulldogs did. “I let them get through it,� Flaws said. “They worked through it.�

Flaws had a simple message for his team when they came into the dugout for the bottom of the sixth: keep attacking Stanley. “We had been hitting the ball hard all night,� Flaws said. “I told them to keep believing.�

The Roadrunners were six outs away from advancing.

However, they had to face the inning that has given them the most fits this season: the sixth. “The sixth inning has been our bad inning all year,� Bogs said.

Van Meter started the inning with a walk to Bailey Harding. Dion Shirley slapped a single into right field to put runners at first and second.

Leadoff batter Meagan Blomgren stood in.

Stanley worked ahead a 1-2 count. Blomgren fouled one pitch back of the plate that fell just out of the reach of catcher Shai Major.

The dropped foul ball loomed large in the inning. “If we get that, I don’t know if we get out of the inning, but I don’t think they score three runs,� Bogs said.

On a 1-2 pitch, Blomgren roped a hard hit shot just past the glove of Miller in center. The ball went all the way to the fence and before Interstate 35 could get it back in two runs had scored. “That’s what Meagan

Interstate 35 junior Josie Wickett watches as her second inning hit heads over the fence for a home run during Monday’s Class 2A first-round game against Van Meter at the Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge. Wickett’s home run gave Interstate 35 a 1-0 lead at the time.

Blomgren does for us,�

Flaws said. “That hit by Megan Blomgren was huge.�

Mackenzie Blomgren hit a hard shot to third base.

The throw was in time to first for the out, but it allowed Megan Blomgren to score the go-ahead run.

Bogs noted the play was a mental mistake by his team. “It was one of those things,� Bogs said.

Interstate 35 still had a chance in the seventh. Major reached on an error with one out. With two outs, Riley Morris was hit by a pitch.

It brought up Wickett, the Roadrunners’ hottest hitter in the postseason.

She worked a 3-1 count.

On the 3-1 pitch, she took a called strike.

Flaws called for a rise ball on 3-2. Wickett swung under it, just missing the ball to end the game. “I knew at 3-2 we were going to come with a rise-

ball,� Flaws said. “We came with it. She swung at it. It was huge.�

Van Meter’s win avenged a loss it suffered to Interstate 35 in the regional semifinals last year. “They kicked our butt pretty bad,� Flaws said. “We had the motto ‘Remember that feeling.’ Our girls don’t want to lose.�

Early on, Interstate 35 was in a prime spot to finally claim its first first-round win in Fort Dodge.

With two outs in the top of the second, Wickett turned on a pitch from Van Meter’s Bailey Richards and sent it well over the left-center field fence for a solo home run.

Van Meter countered an inning later. Mackenzie Blomgren singled to start the third. Richards then launched a rope that hooked just inside the right field foul pole for a two-run home run.

“I didn’t know if it was fair or foul, but it snuck in there,� Flaws said.

Van Meter had been getting to Stanley a bit early. Two walks and a single loaded the bases with two outs in the first, but a strikeout ended the threat.

Later, the Bulldogs continued to put the pressure on. Van Meter had runners at second and third with one out in the fourth, but a ground ball back to Stanley cut down a run at home. A flyout to Miller ended the third.

The Bulldogs had runners at second and third with one out in the fifth. A sharply-hit ground ball to Stanley and a popout ended the threat. “We were ready for her,�

Flaws said “We put the ball on the ground, which we had to do.�

Stanley struggled to work ahead in the count most of the game.

“The plan was to get ahead with a fastball for a strike, then go riseball, change,� Bogs said. “We never got to do that.�

Stanley’s rise, her key opt-out pitch, was a bit ineffective late. “Her rise ball was kind of flat,� Bogs said.

Interstate 35 had chances of its own. Miller singled to start the first and moved up to second on Richardson’s two-out single, but a strikeout ended the threat.

Miller singled to start the third and took second on Stanley’s sacrifice. Two strikeouts from Richards stopped the threat.

Wickett singled sharply to center with two outs in the fourth, but could not advance.

The Roadrunners had one day to work on their offensive shortfalls. “We have to work on getting our swings back,� Bogs said.

Season ends for Clarke baseball in districts

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

VAN METER — An early run turned out to be too much for the Clarke baseball team to overcome during last Tuesday’s Class 2A District 12 baseball game against Earlham.

The Cardinals then made sure the Indians could not come back.

Earlham ended Clarke’s season with a 7-1 win.

The Cardinals advanced to play Van Meter in the district final.

Clarke’s season ends at 9-23.

Earlham struck first in the bottom of the first. A walk, an error and a balk led to the Cardinals’ first run.

“We gave them that run in the first inning,” said Clarke coach Justin Stoulil.

Clarke’s hearts dropped after that.

“We couldn’t get the guys

into the game, play with any heart,” Stoulil said. “That’s extremely disappointing.”

Stoulil saw his team with more talent than the Cardinals, but it didn’t translate to the field.

“In my opinion, by far we were a way better team than the other team in the other dugout,” Stoulil said. “We didn’t show up to play.”

Clarke had opportunities in each inning, but never could put a rally together when the game was still within reach.

“We just couldn’t get anything going with the bats,” Stoulil said. “It just seemed liked anywhere where we were in the lineup, no matter where we started, we couldn’t get anything going.”

Earlham put the game out of reach with a six-run fifth inning. The Cardinals put together three straight hits to start the inning. An error and three straight walks led to the other runs.

“A lot of the guys were not

really into the game,” Stoulil said. “One or two things would go wrong and it continued to snowball.”

Clarke’s lone run came in the seventh. Ethan Potter reached on an error and later scored on a groundout.

Zach Harmsen pitched four-plus innings and took the loss.

Clarke’s season ends at 9-23.

Coming into the district semifinal, the Indians had been on an 8-5 roll, the best stretch in Stoulil’s three years as coach.

At one point, Clarke was 1-17 on the season.

“The guys didn’t quit,” Stoulil said. “They could’ve just mailed it in. Thankfully they kept going. That was good to see them play with a lot of heart.”

Clarke bids farewell to seniors Gable Reece and Zach Harmsen.

“Gable Reece had an offensive explosion most of the season,” Stoulil said.

Reece’s attitude is one his teammates can emulate.

“You couldn’t have a better guy on your team,” Stoulil said. “He shows up before practice. He stays after practice. He plays with a lot of heart. He’s a great team leader. I’m going to miss that guy.”

Harmsen leaves with the career record for pitching wins with 10.

“We’re definitely going to miss him,” Stoulil said.

“He seemed to have a rubber arm. He was ready to go multiple times a week as a pitching standpoint.”

The game was Stoulil’s final one as a head coach. He’s stepping down after three seasons.

Successful battery leads I-35 softball TRURO—Interstate 35’s regional final softball game against Underwood ended.

Roadrunner players head towards the dugout to celebrate. Two players raced toward each other. They give each other a big hug.

It’s a tradition they’ve done after most every game this season. The two classmates and best friends celebrating another Interstate 35 win.

Junior pitcher Carlyn Stanley and junior catcher Shai Major are more than just teammates and friends.

They’re part of a successful battery that’s helped fuel the fifth-ranked Roadrunners back to the state softball tournament.

Stanley, Major and the Roadrunners opened Class 2A state tournament play Monday against sixth-ranked Van Meter.

“It’s just the chemistry we have, how we’re best friends,” Stanley said.

The two have been working together for many years.

“We’ve grown up together,” Major said. “We’ve been together since second grade.”

They’ve become familiar each other’s tendencies on the diamond.

“We know each other. I know her pitches,” Major said. “It’s different with other pitchers.”

Major has helped Stanley to a banner season. Entering state, Stanley was 26-3 on the season with a 1.24 earned run average. Opponents were batting .162.

Stanley had recorded 297 strikeouts against 46 walked in 169 and two-thirds innings.

Major and Stanley’s chemistry is a big reason why the Roadrunners have been so successful according to coach Tim Bogs.

“If our pitcher’s good, our catcher has to be good,” Bogs said. “You can’t be good on the mound without a good catcher. It’s just impossible.

“Every game, every good pitching performance has a good catching performance.”

Bogs knew early on he had a good one in the making with Stanley.

“I watched Carlyn in a

tournament in third grade.

I could tell she had some skills,” he said. “I followed them all the way through.”

Later, he saw what he had in Stanley’s battery mate.

“When they were in seventh grade, I didn’t know who the catcher was. I came to a couple of junior high games and watched them.

They were a good combination.”

The two compliment each other on the field.

“They’re very calming,” Bogs said. “When you watch them, their demeanors are pretty laid back. They don’t get too excited. Shai does a pretty good job.”

Major and Stanley have ways of communicating with each other during a game.

“We have little signals,” Major noted. “We have our own little handshake before every game. It’s awesome.”

Added Stanley: “We have

Evink receives IPA appreciation award DES MOINES — The Iowa Pharmacy Association announces Michele Evink, M.S., Pharm.D., of Osceola, is a recipient of the association’s 2016 appreciation award.

The award was presented during IPA’s 2016 annual meeting June 17 in West Des Moines.

The association recognized Evink as one of five former board members of OutcomesMTM, who established the Outcomes Innovative Pharmacy Endowment following the sale of the company in July of 2015.

The endowment, established within the Iowa Pharmacy Association Foundation, will provide grants to innovative pharmacy projects in Iowa.

OutcomesMTM began as an innovative start up in 1999 seeking to increase demand for medication therapy management services and provide the resources for those services.

Iowa Pharmacy Association provided seed money to help establish the company, which became a leader in medication therapy management services. Following

the company’s purchase, the board sought a way to give back to the profession in appreciation of its support.

In addition to their own generous contributions, these “Visionaries� encouraged OutcomesMTM shareholders to donate a portion of their proceeds from the sale to the endowment. “IPA and the pharmacy profession appreciate the generosity and leadership from Michele and the other visionaries,� said Kate Gainer, Pharm.D., IPA’s executive vice president and chief executive officer. “This endowment will fuel future innovation in Iowa pharmacy, to continue to legacy of support and innovation that helped create OutcomesMTM in 1999.�

Family starts donation collection for victims of Colorado flooding

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Imagine losing everything you had in a flood.

That’s what people in Colorado are currently experiencing with September’s flooding. “I don’t think people really realize how devastating it is when it hits a canyon like that, because the water has nowhere to go,� said Angela Haskell of Winterset. “I know we have floods here, and it’s horrible, but we’re flatter, so it kind of disperses. There, it comes down like a wall and it just takes everything out.�

Haskell and her family are trying to help those who have lost so much by collecting canned good and nonperishable food items.

Donation boxes have been set up at Southwestern Community College (SWCC) in Osceola, Creston and Red Oak. Great Western Bank in Osceola is a drop-off site for donations, too.

Haskell is a SWCC student, and her mother Karen Samson is an Osceola resident. The family’s first load has already been driven to Colorado. A second load will be driven to the state in another week.

2013 flood In Colorado, the natural disaster began Sept. 9 with a slow-moving cold front that stalled across the state. The cold front soon clashed with warm, humid monsoonal air coming in from the south.

The result was heavy rain and intense flooding along the state’s front range from Colorado Springs north to Fort Collins.

As days went by, the situation intensified with Boulder County, Colo., being the worst hit. Flood waters have spread across a range of almost 200 miles with 17 counties affected by the disaster.

Many roads and highways have been washed out and destroyed.

At least 1,750 people and 300 pets have been rescued

Helping hands in Haiti Weston Brokaw, Sue and Kooper Brimm share story of Haitian service trip

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

“Life-changing.�

That’s how Sue Brimm, a staff member at Clarke Community High School, described her experience in Haiti this summer.

Sue was a group chaperone for a service trip her son Kooper Brimm, 15, and Weston Brokaw, 16, completed in Haiti from June 12-22.

Kooper and Weston are both members of Clarke’s FFA chapter.

The program the boys participated in was through the Sioux Central FFA chapter. They were with other students from across the Midwest helping to construct Sukup SafeTHomes, which look like grain-bin houses.

To be selected for the service trip, the boys had to answer a three-ques-

tion essay about why they should be picked to help build homes in Haiti.

Earthquake In 2010, a major earthquake struck Haiti with the country’s capital Portau-Prince near the the center of the destruction. It was estimated 316,000 people died, 300,000 were injured and 1 million were left homeless by the disaster.

Kooper said the experience was fun, but there was a lot of work to do. “Right when we got down there and stepped out of the airport, it was really different and kind of scary, a little bit, because all you could see for awhile was just people. It’s all people,� Kooper said. “Once we got driving around, it was pretty crazy to see the rivers of Styrofoam that were Please see HAITI Page 4

Sukup SafeTHomes

live loc al, buy local

Sukup Safe T Homes are engineered structures suitable for all phases of recovery effort.

They can provide shelter for 10 or more people and are resistant to moisture and termites.

They are built with a double heat-shield roof and screened-in lockable windows and doors.

The design can withstand 130 miles-per-hour winds and is virtually earthquake proof.

The homes are 20-gauge galvanized steel with a 70-year life span. The sidewalls are 8 feet high and the overall structure stands 13.5 feet from floor to roof peak.

Each unit incorporates two windows and a double-roof system to deflect heat. The cost of each home is $5,700.

So far, eight people have died and six are still missing. Damages from the natural disaster are estimated at more than $1 billion.

1976 flood Even though Haskell and her family are a couple of states away from the flooding in Colorado, the situation still hits close to home for them. They are collecting items in memory of family members who died in the July 31, 1976, Big Thompson Canyon flood in Colorado.

The Big Thompson flood is Colorado’s deadliest flash flood in recorded history with 143 deaths. “We lost six people that year, so this is our way of giving back to the people who are suffering now,�

Haskell said. “We may not have money to do anything financially, really, but we’re volunteering to drive the material goods out to the food banks, and also to the shelters out there.�

Recommended Recommended donations items are food, diapers, pet food and other animal supplies. Haskell said a lot of material goods and clothing have already been supplied to those in need.

She said she has been in contact with United Way and the Red Cross, and has

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

OSCEOLA

By Tom Murr Woodburn

We have come through the July 4 holiday.

For some, this was a great celebration of a nation that has worked for good. For others, it was a celebration of a failed nation. From what I read today, somewhere around 25 to 35 percent feel that America has failed.

If America has failed — and I don’t think it has — it has failed as we moved away from solid values.

Church attendance is down in almost every main line church. Sadly, I have been part of the closing of the Woodburn United Methodist Church (UMC). UMC has closed seven or eight churches this year.

The Sioux City Diocese of Roman Catholic Church has reported more than 40 churches closures. According to figures, the Lutheran Church in Iowa has closed around 10 churches.

What has happened? There are a number reasons for this happening.

The numbers of people in rural areas have had great declines. One young farmer told me he was farming 1,400 acres of land. You know that would be seven 200-acre farms that are gone.

Rural areas find it hard to have good paying jobs. I am talking about $75,000 and up.

As I have watched the media, I see a great disregard for church. There are jokes made about church. The language on mass media has hit below the gutter level.

Sometimes they keep track of how many F-words are said by some actors and singers. I can remember clearly that in the 1960s the word “damn” was beeped out on the late night shows.

I believe we have allowed God to die in our country.

Oh, we look to God when there is some great need that we know we can’t handle, but the rest of the time we push God aside.

If we do not center our lives in God, then we are centering them in something else. It is great to have a good time, but today we seem to need something to help us have a good time. This good time help comes may come in a different ways.

The Gospel of John 15: verse 4 and 5 gives us a direction that will only be followed by a few today.

Jesus taught, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”

We have walked away from God. From my reading in January, I found one minister urged the church members to read the Bible for two minutes each day. Two minutes would be about the time it takes to walk from the living

room to the kitchen for a snack. Most of us spend two minutes just change a CD in our car radio.

Two minutes will NOT give us enough time to read the word of God. If we don’t read the word of God, then we cannot expect to understand it or know it.

I can tell you shooting a basketball one time a day, will not make you a shooter like Steph Curry.

Some people express today that they don’t understand the church. Asking the same people if they have read the Bible, many will say no, I don’t want to read that old book.

Eugene Peterson said in a modern translation of the John 15: 4 – 5 translation of Jesus’ words: “If you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon.”

If we want to change our community and our nation, then we need to find the true north in our lives. That begins with knowing the word of God. Without reading, you will be missing any connection with Jesus. You will miss having Jesus as the true north of your life.

This nation would have greater meaning if God was the center of our lives. Without God we are living empty lives. If we fail to allow God to abide in us, then we are going down the road with no road signs. As we turn our back on God, the church, and fellowship of faithful people, we are truly lost.

Change in our nation will not happen unless we are part of the vine of that God has given us in the life Jesus. Abiding in God will bring back the truth, values and character that once was found in the red, white and blue that we have cheered for on July 4.

Since the Fourth of July weekend, our nation has experienced more terrible shootings. These are happening everyday in our some major cities. We shake our heads and ask what has happened?

What has happened is we as a people are walking on a lonely path without the fellowship of God in our lives.

Understand, I am not saying none of these events would stop happening, but if with God’s spirit in one person, that person helped someone feel better and more cared for as God’s child.

Then we will have taken the first small step forward as part of God’s vine in this world.

Without God centering our lives and helping us live in His eternal vine, we will continue to be lost as a people.

Abide in Jesus and He will abide in you.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation donates pork to replenish rural food pantries IOWA FALLS — Empty freezers in more than 80 rural food pantries are now full of boneless pork loins after the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select Farms donated approximately 44,000 pounds of nutrient-rich protein to help feed Iowa families in need.

The pork was delivered throughout June and July to local community organizations, food shelves and pantries across the state.

“We believe everyone deserves a good meal, and with kids home from school and food pantries depleted of much-needed meat, we make every effort to restock their freezers and help them with community meals,” said Jeff Hansen, president and chief executive officer of Iowa Select Farms.

During the donation period, Iowa Select Farms’ refrigerated semi traveled 1,567 miles to 54 communities and 82 food pantries. This year, the delivery team captured the unique story of each pantry and their volunteers, posting to social media throughout July.

“As we made our way across the state, we worked to capture the story of each pantry, their volunteers and the families they serve,” said Jen Sorenson, communications director at Iowa Select Farms.

“Each pantry is unique in their own way, and by posting our journey on our Facebook page and website blog we were able to spotlight each organization to help build awareness of hunger and food insecurity in rural communities.”

In total, 808 cases of pork loins were distributed during this round of donations, and with the tremendous need for lean protein, pantries exhaust their supplies very quickly.

“Many of our families simply can’t afford to buy meat,” said Gwen Simpson, coordinator for the United

Methodist Church Food Pantry in Lamoni. “Families in need will purchase the cheapest food options, however studies show those available choices may not always be the best source of nutrition.

Receiving the lean and protein-rich pork loins means a lot to us and the families we serve, they are always incredibly grateful.”

Each donated pork loin is being accompanied by a free 16-page booklet intended to provide families with information about how to properly store, handle and prepare the pork.

The booklet also contains a collection of easy and economical recipes for families to prepare the pork loin into a full meal, and even make it stretch into several meals.

The boneless pork loins are approximately 4.5 pounds each and feed 24 people a 3-ounce serving of pork. The 808 cases of pork loin roasts donated by the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select Farms will provide approximately 232,704 servings to Iowa families.

About the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation The Hansens, who founded Iowa Select Farms and New Modern Concepts in Iowa Falls, established the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation in 2006 to create programs and resources to relieve hunger, show gratitude to members of the Armed Services and their families and strengthen efforts to find a cure for childhood cancer while improving the quality of life for cancer patients.

About Iowa Select Farms Iowa Select Farms is the largest pork producer in Iowa and is committed to responsibly producing safe, nutritious

and high quality pork for their customers and the food companies they serve. Founded by and privately-owned by Iowa Falls natives, Jeff and Deb Hansen, the company has 165,000 sows and annually produces nearly one billion pounds of pork.

With 700 swine farms across the state, Iowa Select Farms is one of the leading economic engines to Iowa’s rural communities through employing more than 1,000 people, contracting with more than 345 farmers and supporting hundreds of local businesses throughout the state.
