A new site plan for Southern Iowa Trucking was approved by Osceola City Council during its meeting Sept. 20.

After initially having his site plan rejected by the city council, Eugene Zinchenko of Chariton came back to the council with an improved plan.

Originally, the site plan proposed a driveway off of Idaho Street, which is a secondary road jointly owned by the city and Clarke County. The city council rejected that plan because Idaho Street would not accommodate semi-truck traffic.

Zinchenko worked with Clarke County Economic Development Corporation to acquire a lot in the E Eddy Saylor Industrial Park, which is adjacent to his 40-acre parcel located at 1982 205th Ave. “He will use that industrial park lot to build access onto E Eddy Saylor Parkway,” said Ty Wheeler, Osce- Wheeler ola city administrator/clerk. “It’s far better for access to him because it’s a paved road and dumps you out onto Highway 34. It will allow him to

tie into the city water and sewer system.”

There will be a 24-footwide drive constructed that will lead to the trucking facility. “(The council) is happy to see new business coming to town and they think there’s a lot of promise for growth, especially given our location at the crossroads of Highway 34 and Interstate 35,” Wheeler said.

City Councilman Dave Walkup said he’s excited for Zinchenko, 22, to bring his business to Osceola.

“This young man, as I understand it, is a very bright

young man,” Walkup said.

“He has put a point down in Osceola as being where he wants to have his business.

Hopefully the business will grow. It’s a win-win situation for the community and for him, I think.”

Safe Routes to School The council also awarded the construction contract for the Safe Routes to School Phase II project to Country Concrete.

For the second year in a row, Osceola has been awarded a Wellmark Foundation grant for a Safe

Routes to School project, which provides a sidewalk for children to use to walk to and from school.

This year’s grant is for a total of $75,000. In addition, Clarke County Development Corporation has given the city a $56,000 grant for the project.

Country Concrete, one of three construction companies to submit bids for the project, submitted a bid of $132,443.85 for the safe route and $59,078.80 for the safe route alternate route.

Starting in October, Osceola Water Works will begin transitioning to winter maintenance and will be making a change in the treatment process. Residents may notice a difference, but will have no cause for concern.

Starting the first week of October, the water works department will begin the annual fire hydrant flushing program. This process is a way to perform routine maintenance on the hydrants and to clean out sed-

iment in the water mains.

Department employees will open the fire hydrants and allow them to flow freely for a short period of time. Residents may notice slight discoloration or trace amounts of sediment in their water, but should not be alarmed. If you notice darkened or rusty water coming from your tap, simply let the water run for a few minutes until it runs clear again.

FEMA urges Iowans to be ready for flooding, severe weather KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With active flooding underway in parts of Iowa and the threat of more to come, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is urging Iowans to be ready to take life-saving actions on short notice.

“Additional rainfall, even in smaller amounts, when combined with an already saturated ground, could quickly lead to hazardous conditions,” said FEMA Region VII Administrator Beth Freeman. “It’s critical that Iowans prepare now to do what’s needed to be safe in the wake of current and near-term flooding, as well as other severe weather.”

FEMA’s Region VII office in Kansas City, Missouri, has been in regular contact with emergency management officials in Iowa as both agencies actively monitor severe weather and flooding in many parts of the state.

“This flooding is a serious situation for many Iowans,” Freeman said. “We can’t stress enough how important it is for citizens to stay informed of ever-changing conditions, to follow official emergency instructions, to have an emergency plan for all members of the family, including pets, and to be ready to quickly put that plan into action.”

Council Bluffs search for possible gunshot victim COUNCIL BLUFFS — On Sept. 22 at 8:56 a.m., officers of the Council Bluffs Police Department responded to 901 North 35th St., Featherstone Apartments, for a 911 call regarding a reported a gunshot victim.

Responding officers determined the call had originated from the apartment of a family member of Devon Seth Hunt, 22. These family members told officers they discovered Hunt sitting on their back patio with a wound to his abdomen. Hunt told family members he had been shot.

When 911 was called for an ambulance, Hunt attempted to wrestle the phone away from family members, then fled the area on foot. Officers conducted a search of the area with the assistance of a police K-9; he was not located during the search.

As a precautionary measure, several schools in the area were placed on “lockout” status as officers searched the area for Hunt.

This “lockout” lasted for approximately 80 minutes.

Hunt does have outstanding arrest warrants for unrelated incidents. At this time, investigators are unable to confirm that Hunt was in fact shot and it is unknown how or where Hunt received the injury to his abdomen.

This case remains under investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division.

Council Bluffs Police Department officers are asking for assistance from the public in locating Hunt so he can receive medical attention.

Anyone having information on his whereabouts is encouraged to call 911 or contact Council Bluffs Crime Stoppers at 712- 328-7867.

Former legislative clerk sentenced for white powder hoax on floor of Iowa Legislature DES MOINES — On Sept. 19, Michael Dekota McRae, 28, was sentenced by Chief United States District Court Judge John A. Jarvey to 18 months imprisonment for conveying false information concerning a biological weapon, announced United States Attorney Kevin E. VanderSchel. McRae was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $2,747.50 and a $100.00 special assessment to the Crime Victims’ Fund.

McRae, a former legislative clerk to Iowa State Representative Ako Abdul-Samad, admitted to writing a threatening letter addressed to Abdul-Samad. The letter contained racial slurs and threats to kill both McRae and Abdul-Samad. McRae subsequently inserted the letter, along with a white powdery substance, into an envelope which he placed into a legislative mail receptacle.

On April 3, 2012, McRae opened the threatening letter on the chamber floor during an active session of the Iowa Legislature. When McRae opened the letter the white powder, which McRae included to simulate

a biological agent or toxin, was released and came into contact with McRae and Abdul-Samad. McRae admitted to perpetrating the hoax to create fear in others.

When McRae committed the crime, legislation proposing to expand existing Iowa law allowing individuals to defend themselves in their home, business or place of employment, commonly referred to as “stand your ground,” was pending before the Iowa Legislature. In the days leading up to the hoax, McRae and others participated in a rally on the steps of the Iowa Capitol to protest the proposed legislation, and that rally was mentioned in the threatening letter written by McRae. This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Postal Inspection Service, Iowa State Patrol, Des Moines Police Department, Des Moines Fire Department Hazardous Materials Team and Iowa National Guard 71st Civil Support Team. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

Pottawattamie County residents sentenced in meth charges COUNCIL BLUFFS — United States Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, Kevin E. VanderSchel, announced Sept. 23 Omar Rosales-Ixta, a 39 year-old resident of Carter Lake, was sentenced by United States District Court Senior Judge James E. Gritzner to 168 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Rosales-Ixta’s term of imprisonment is to be followed by five years of supervised release. Rosales-Ixta entered a guilty plea for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine May 26.

Rosales-Ixta’s co-defendant, Michael Leroy Poore, a 34 year-old resident of Logan, was sentenced by Senior Judge James E. Gritzner to 78 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine to be followed by four years of supervised release.

Poore entered a guilty plea to the charge April 29.

The pleas of guilty and sentencings were the result of an investigation into methamphetamine distribution by the defendants between July and

November 2015. During that time, the defendants distributed more than two kilograms of methamphetamine, which was obtained in Omaha and transported to Pottawattamie County where it was sold.

Co-defendant Broc Todd Waltermeyer is scheduled for sentencing Nov. 2.

The investigation was conducted by the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force, Omaha Police Department and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

Pate launches new initiative to help veterans, Iowans with disabilities vote DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate announces a new statewide initiative to help all eligible Iowans participate in the November general election. The effort focuses particularly on military veterans and Iowans with disabilities.

Pate’s office has produced videos, brochures and a new website that detail the resources available to Iowans with disabilities to help them register to vote and cast their ballot for the November general election. He announced the new initiative at a morning news conference in Des Moines.

“This initiative is very important to me,” Pate said. “My goal is for every eligible Iowan to register to vote and to participate.

We owe a debt of gratitude to those who defended our right to vote, so reaching out to the veterans’ community is very important.

We also want to help all Iowans who have a disability, to educate them on the resources available to them to make it easier to cast their ballot.”

Pates’ website, sos.iowa. gov/disabilities, provides a one-stop shop to help Iowans with disabilities vote.

There, you can register to vote online, download an absentee ballot request form and learn about curbside voting and other assistance you can receive at your polling site. That website also includes several videos that detail how to register to vote, what to expect at your polling site and how to use voting machines specially designed for people with disabilities.

Pate also hired a voter outreach coordinator to travel the state, visiting with veterans groups and organizations that work with Iowans with disabilities, to help promote the resources available to them.

“I would like to acknowledge the Secretary of State’s Office support and willingness to partner with our council to improve voting access to Iowans with disabilities,” said Steve Crew, chair of the Iowa Developmental Disabilities Council. “In addition, I also want to thank them for their commitment to ensure that the spirit of the Help Ameri-

Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, If so we saw it there.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BACK IN TIME

Trump a narcissistic, racist demagogue

By Barbara Paulding Russell

When Donald Trump talks about the Iraq war, he frequently says, “We should have taken the oil. We should have taken the oil.”

He also says, “To the victor belongs the spoils.”

No, Donald, we should not have taken the oil. It is illegal to seize the assets of another country, even in a war. That is classified as a war crime.

I guess he believes, as his surrogate Rudy Giuliani believes, that,

“Of course, it’s legal.

It’s war. Everything is legal until the war is over.”

Make no mistake about it.

Donald Trump has no compunction about committing war crimes. In fact, Donald Trump has pledged to commit several war crimes if he is elected president of the United States.

Here are a few examples: “I would take the oil.”

“I would bring back waterboarding and a lot worse, believe me.”

“I would kill the families of the terrorists.”

“I would blow those little Iranian boats out of the water if they make rude gestures.”

“Everything is legal until the war is over.”

Think about that for a moment. This is what the Nazis believed.

They were wrong. This is what Donald Trump believes. He is wrong.

He is also a narcissistic, racist demagogue, a man who cares only about himself.

Gen. Colin Powell, a respected Republican statesman, calls Donald Trump a “national disgrace” and an “international pariah.”

Is anyone listening?

The Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolutions (DAR) is again sponsoring the DAR annual American History essay contests.

This year’s topic for fifth- through eighthgrade is: “Celebrating a Century: America’s National Parks.” The National Park Service was established by Congress in 1916. The National Park Service manages approximately 84.4 million acres of national parks. Pretend you are writing a journal while visiting one of the 58 national parks. Identify its location. Discuss

and it connected the downtown with the elementary and high school,” Wheeler said.

“This year, we proposed another sidewalk project which would connect the east side of town to the elementary school.”

The project includes construction of approximately 5,300 linear feet of 6-foot-wide sidewalk.

Wheeler said feedback from last year’s Safe Routes to School project has been positive.

“At first, people said, ‘6-foot sidewalk, you’re going to pave a road in my front yard,’” he said. “But when the first one went in, everyone said it’s pretty nice. Everybody on the east side is excited to see they’ve

why and when it was established as a national park. What makes this park one of our national treasures?

The contest topic for grades 9-12 is: “Technology’s Impact on the Voyage of Christopher Columbus.”

Technological advances have greatly changed our world since the voyages of Christopher Columbus. If Columbus had just some of the technology we have today in 2016, how might this have changed his planning and carrying out of his voyages? What technological advances would have been most beneficial to Columbus?

Each local winner in each of the fifth through eighth-grade levels, as well as the winner of the Columbus essay will be

awarded a $10 cash gift, medal and certificate.

The winning entries will be sent to the state society. State level winners will be chosen and then forwarded to the district and national contest levels.

This is an excellent learning experience for students. It’s open to all students in public and private school, as well as to all who are home schooled. The deadline for entries is Nov. 30.

Send completed entries to Judith Wachter at the address below. For more information and a copy of the rules for each category, contact: Judith L. Wachter, American History Chair, 2643 Highway 34, Afton, IA 50830; call 641-340-0372 or email jwachter202@ gmail.com.

been selected for a safe route corridor.”

The new project will begin at the intersection of East View Place and East Clay Street, traveling west down East Clay Street. The route will then turn south on Dewey Street before turning west again on East Jefferson Street.

The alternate route goes north on North East Street, turns west on Ayers Street and turns south on Dewey Street.

“I’ve heard nothing but positives about the 6-foot sidewalks,” Walkup said. “It does two things: it gives a safe walk for our kids, and also we’re trying to get people o u t walki n g more. Walkup T h e

safety of our students is always our No. 1 priority. The other thing is that we have some sidewalks that are naturally narrower, but also they’re ready for rehab so they look nice and people can walk on them.”

In other city council news: • Event permits were approved for Wine Walk and Trunk or Treat.

• Trick or Treat was scheduled for 6:30-8 p.m. Oct. 31.

• A professional service contract was awarded to Veenstra & Kimm Inc. to place signage throughout the community to direct visitors to the downtown area and high school.

• The council made an offer to purchase the property at 331 W. Clay St. The structure on the property is decayed beyond the point of fixing and the city plans to tear it down.

Honeymoon Bandits No trace of the husbands of the two women who spent their honeymoon in the Clarke County jail on charges of having participated in the robbery of the Kraft Clothing store (which is now the location of Robinson’s) has been found since they left a trail of stolen and abandoned cars in eastern Iowa in 1938. The two couples were married two days after a gasoline station holdup in Ottumwa.

The four broke into Kraft’s and stole $1,000 worth of men’s clothing and were discovered by the night marshal who exchanged shots with them as they sped out of town.

Four miles north at the Ralph Wiant corner they wrecked the car and, at the point of a gun, forced Wiant to drive them in his car to Osceola. In front of the B & H Cafe, Wiant took the keys out of his car, jumped out and went in to the cafe. The bandits escaped on foot, stealing a car from Mumper Garage, and drove to Ottumwa.

Identities were learned from the marriage certificate found

Flooding is not unfamiliar to many Iowans, but it helps to refresh on the immediate steps to stay safe:

Be informed/ know the danger: Keep track of severe weather and flood forecasts and take them seriously.

To do that: • Monitor newspaper, radio and TV reports of current and predicted weather conditions; • Keep a NOAA weather radio turned on and charged up to get alerts around the clock; • Set mobile devices to alert with the latest weather information.

Make it easy by downloading and using a free FEMA app, which provides real-time weather alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations anywhere in Iowa or the nation.

The app also provides valuable safety tips to help families prepare for, and recover from, more than 20 natural and man-made haz-

in the wrecked car; the girls found hiding out in one of their mothers’ homes in Ottumwa.

A police net was thrown out over three states for the apprehension of the robbery suspects. The women were wanted on forgery charges and for allegedly stealing dresses in Ottumwa.

A car used by the bandits when holding up a service station in Carroll was left in Des Moines, as well as another car stolen from that vicinity.

A man from Truro saw a car stopped near his car in front of his home containing two men and two women. When asking what they were doing the men called back saying they were fixing their lights. Soon after the man discovered the license plates on his car were gone. A few minutes later the operator on duty at the Phillips station in Truro noted the car as it drove in and got some gasoline and notified the Madison County sheriff. All roads in the district were closed by the Iowa Highway Patrol.

After playing hide and seek with a great concentration of

ards, including how to make a family communication plan, customizable checklist of emergency supplies and maps of open shelters and disaster recovery centers. The app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Plan for the worst: Severe weather can strike suddenly, so have a plan to stay safe and take life-saving action if needed.

The plan should include: • Actions to take if it’s necessary to shelter-in-place; • Where each person/pet will go to get out of danger; • How each person/ pet will get to a place of safety; • How family and friends will communicate with one another if evacuation to or from different locations becomes necessary.

For more information on creating an emergency plan, visit www.ready.gov or www.beready.iowa. gov.

Be ready: Gather essential items in one place if evacuation is needed.

county and state officers after the bandits appeared in Truro, they finally slipped through the net and reached Knoxville with two Sioux City girls, ages 19 and 14, in their company.

They were captured in a Knoxville hotel where they had been traced by a night officer and sheriff.

The bandits made some confessions and were further questioned by state officers before being returned to Osceola, charged with the Kraft robbery and sentenced to 15 years in the Fort Madison prison.

The men stated they only had the two other women along to help get away and help get their wives out of prison. The wives, ages 16 and 20 were taken to Rockwell City prison, the girls to Mitchelville Women’s Prison.

The Honeymoon Bandits admitted to using and being addicted to marijuana, all four girls with the men said they were addicted to weed. One of the men asked if they had killed anyone. The drug used was widespread among younger people all over the country.

Those should include: • Wallets, purses, car/house keys, eyeglasses, cash, credit cards; • Medicine and basic first-aid supplies; • Daily living supplies for infants/young children, family members who are elderly or have access and functional needs, and pets; • Important information such as numbers for bank accounts, insurance policies (health, auto and property) and credit cards; • Important phone numbers of relatives, employers, schools and medical professionals such as pharmacies, physicians and veterinarians; • Chargers for mobile devices; • One or more changes of clothes.

Include long pants, socks, boots and/or sturdy shoes; • Bottled water and high-protein, non-perishable food such as a peanut butter, tuna and nuts.

Talk through the emergency plan with all family members so that everyone knows what to do.

If there is time, consider making a more

complete emergency supply kit for homes and cars.

Know what to do: Understand severe weather terms and know what to do for each.

• “Watch” means a specific type of threat (flooding, tornadoes) could be forming; • “Warning” means take action. Life/ property-threatening conditions are occurring or imminent.

Heed emergency instructions. If told to evacuate, go immediately.

Move immediately to higher ground if flash flooding is possible. Don’t wait to be told. Do not drive through flood water, even if you know the road. Turn around, don’t drown.

Abandon mobile homes. They offer little to no protection, even if tied down.

Don’t touch downed power lines or objects in contact with downed lines. Report electrical hazards, downed lines and gas leaks to the police and utility companies.

Don’t re-enter damaged structures without first checking to see if they are safe.

Indians take big step forward, win second straight n

Clarke looks to make it three in a row Friday at home against Albia

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

B L O O M F I E L D — Clarke’s offense has struggled to put points up on the scoreboard this season.

Entering Friday’s Class 2A District 6 matchup at Davis County, the Indians had yet to score more than 14 points in any of their first four games, a stretch where Clarke went 1-4 overall and 1-1 in the district.

Behind the powerful running of senior back Nathan Bair, the Indians’ offense came out of its shell.

Bair rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns and Garrett Moore threw for two more as Clarke was able to pull out a 28-21 win.

All of Clarke’s offense came in the first half as the Indians took a commanding lead.

“We haven’t put up 28 points all year and we put that up in a half,” said assistant coach Aaron O’Tool.

Bair’s gains came on 39 carries. His 230 yards was just short of the school record.

“We gave it to our horse and he did some work,” O’Tool said.

Clarke’s offensive line paved the way for the ground game to rush for a season-high 313 yards.

“Our offensive line played extremely well,” O’Tool said. “We haven’t put up 300 yards rushing in the last two years.”

Moore found Brandyne

Olin open on a pair of tailback sweep passes.

“Garrett Moore laid up two nice passes,” O’Tool said. “It was working good.”

Meanwhile Clarke’s defense held firm much of the game. The Indians did not give up a long, sustained drive to the Mustangs.

One of Davis County’s scores came on an 80-yard kickoff return for a score.

The other two Mustang drives started inside the Indians’ 20-yard line after Clarke turnovers.

The Indian defense did its part.

“That’s two games in a row our defense has kept us in the game,” O’Tool said.

“Coach (Brian) Reece has done an extremely good job.”

Davis County’s offense struggled to gain traction against Clarke outside of the opening drive. Davis County had a receiver open in the end zone, but dropped a touchdown pass. Clarke’s defense held.

“They were hitting,” O’Tool said. “They wanted this game. It reminded me of last week against Chariton.

We came out. Our pads were popping.”

The Indian offense gave the ball right back on a turnover. The Mustangs drove inside the Clarke 5, but the defense held.

Clarke’s offense marched the length of the field, using a 99-yard drive to score the first touchdown of the game.

The two-point conversion was no good, giving the Indians a 6-0 lead.

Clarke sophomore Garrett Moore looks to escape a trio of Davis County defenders during Friday’s Class 2A District 5 game in Bloomfield. Moore rushed for 55 yards and thre for 49 more and two touchdowns in the Indians’ 28-21 win.

Davis County countered immediately, returning the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown and a 7-6 lead.

The Indians’ resiliency showed on their next offensive possession. The Indians marched down the field and score to go on top 12-7.

In the past, a momentum-changing play like the Mustangs’ kickoff return for six points would have deflated the Indians.

It wasn’t the case in this game.

“That’s the turning point,”

O’Tool said. “We told them ahead of time, there’s going to be some momentum swings. In the past, we would’ve dropped our heads and the game would’ve been over. These guys did something about it. They’ve got that competitiveness. They overcame it.”

Finding more moments like that offensive drive is what the program needs going forward, O’Tool said.

“That’s the turning point for this program where you’re going to have to see

it,” O’Tool said. “When you are punched in the gut, it comes down to how you respond. The momentum’s gone. You have to find a way to turn it around right away.”

Clarke added two more scores before halftime for a 28-7 lead.

Davis County took advantage of two Clarke turnovers deep in Indian territory in the second half to cut the lead to seven points, 28-21.

Clarke kept the lead there.

The Indians have now won two straight in the district.

“It was good to get our second district win, especially in a row,” O’Tool said.

UP NEXT — Clarke (23, 2-1) hosts Albia Friday in Class 2A District 6 play.

The Demons (1-4, 1-2) are coming off a 32-6 win over Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

“They’re going to be pretty amped up,” O’Tool said.

“Our guys have to be pretty focused. We’ll take care of those injuries. I think a lot of teams are hitting the injury big.”

Roadrunners escape with thrilling homecoming win

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa.com

TRURO — Interstate 35 was staring a third straight defeat squarely in the eye Friday during its homecoming contest with Woodward-Granger.

The Roadrunners delivered a thrilling comeback to send the hometown fans and alumni home happy.

Interstate 35 rattled off 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter for a thrilling 34-33 win.

The Roadrunners’ win was secured after a goal line stand late.

“We were never out of it,” said Interstate 35 coach Mike Stuart.

“Our kids never quit.”

Momentum was seldom in the Roadrunners’ favor over the first three quarters.

“We struggled to keep the momentum,” Stuart said.

Interstate 35’s defense held firm when called upon late in the fourth quarter.

“Our defense really stepped up when we needed them too,” Stuart said. “We got three, three-and-outs in a row. That was really big.”

Interstate 35’s offense finally heated up just in time. Quarterback Braydon Eli completed 21-of29 passes for 308 yards.

“He stayed focused and did what he needed to do,” Stuart said.

Richie Griglione caught 12 passes for 197 yards and two touch-

downs. Austin Beener and Mason Cassady combined for eight catches for 115 yards. Cassady ran the ball 12 times for 57 yards and two touchdowns.

The Roadrunners had dropped consecutive contests to projected district frontrunners Pella Christian and Pleasantville.

They made some changes that worked wonders against the Hawks.

“We switched some kids around and it showed,” Stuart said. “It really worked.”

The win bolstered Interstate 35’s spirits after the two demoralizing losses.

“It does a lot for our confidence more than anything,” Stuart said.

“We know we’re a longshot for the postseason. We’re a young team, a really young team. To be sitting 3-2, we feel good where we’re at right now.”

UP NEXT — Interstate 35 (3-2, 1-2) is at longtime Pride of Iowa Conference rival Central Decatur Friday. The Cardinals (3-2, 1-2) are coming off a 30-27 loss at Des Moines Christian.

“It’s a friendly rivalry,” Stuart said. “This week’s going to be a dogfight.”

Roadrunners fall at powerful Pella Christian PELLA — Interstate 35 ran into a Pella Christian buzzsaw in a 49-0 road loss on Friday, Sept. 16 in

Class 1A District 5 play.

Pella Christian, ranked second in Class 1A, won its fourth straight game to start the season and racked up over 400 yards rushing.

Interstate 35 junior quarterback Bryaden Egli led a semi-successful passing attack against the Eagles with an 11-of-21 effort for 119 yards and an interception.

The Roadrunners run game was kept in check as leading rusher Mason Casaidy was held to 28 yards on 17 carries. Sophomores Tanner Daniels, Richie Griglione and Grant Richardson combined for nine receptions for 105 yards.

Austin Beener led the I-35 defense with 8.5 tackles and a solo tackle for loss.

Offense sputters as Mustangs fall at Stanton

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

STANTON — The spark that has been missing for Murray the past two weeks remained elusive once more.

Stanton capitalized early and took Murray out of the contest, leading to a 36-0 Vikings win in Eight-player District 6 action.

The Vikings jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the first half.

“We came out and just

didn’t quite have the energy we hoped to,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton. “We didn’t play up to the standard where we should be.”

The Mustangs have struggled to finish games the past two weeks. A poor fourth quarter cost them in a loss to East Union, while a substandard first quarter hurt them in a loss to Lenox.

Those struggles carried over against the Vikings.

Murray’s offense sputtered again.

“The offense has been

struggling to stay on track, finding the endzone,” Fulton said. “We need to get that consistency back, get that drive back to get into the endzone, build our confidence back.”

Murray matched Stanton’s intensity.

“They were a physical team and we gave it right back to them,” Fulton said.

“It was a good matchup.”

While the score appeared to show the game greatly in Stanton’s favor, Fulton noted it wasn’t that way.

“I wish the score could’ve been a little better indicator of how the game went,” he said. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t execute on offense.”

Stanton’s defense picked off four passes and recovered four fumbles.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t execute on offense,” Fulton said. “They sat back in a 3-2-3 zone coverage. We struggled to move the ball. Their linebackers flowed well. They made it tough on us.”

Drake Johnson had two

interceptions, while Connor Hultman and Brandon Peterson each had one.

Murray’s defense hung in well, but Stanton found ways to punch the ball into the endzone.

“The defense has played well,” Fulton said.

Stanton quarterback Hultman completed 16-of-27 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns, with two interceptions. Johnson had seven receptions for 112 yards and one score. Reece Anderson caught six passes

for 75 yards and one score, while Chris Jones caught the other touchdown. Jones led the Mustangs with 76 yards rushing one one score.

UP NEXT — Murray (2-3, 0-3) faces a stiff test when seventh-ranked Bedford comes to Murray. The Bulldogs (5-0, 3-0) defeated Wayne 46-6 Friday.

“We’ll be happy to be back on our home field,” Fulton said. “Hopefully we can get our momentum back, get on a roll and come out with a big one on Friday.”

Cardinal netters claim second at Bedford

Interstate 35 makes quick work of Clarke, 3-0

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

BEDFORD — Central Decatur’s volleyball team went 3-2 Saturday and placed second at the Bedford Tournament.

The Cardinals defeated Lamoni 2-0, Stanton 2-1 and fell to East Union 2-1. Central Decatur defeated East Mills 2-1 in the semifinals, but fell to Mount Ayr 2-0 in the finals.

For the day, Jentri Hullinger had 40 kills and 41 digs. Raegan Boothe had 30 kills and 52 digs. Lily Simon had 126 assists.

The Cardinals improved to 12-5.

Murray went 0-4 on the day. The Mustangs did push Bedford and East Union to three sets, but came up short both times.

“We’re not able to put teams away right now,” said Murray coach Jerry Shields.

“That’s something we have to get better at. I told the kids it’s starting to come down to crunch time. We’ve got three weeks left of volleyball season. We need to start making those changes and making those changes quick.”

The Mustangs’ back row struggled to consistently dig the ball up and move it forward.

“Our digging and our serve receive is not where it needs to be,” Shields said.

“We need some more consistency. The girls have to be more consistent.”

Communication also needs to improve, he said.

“We have to be able to talk to each other,” Shields said. “We don’t do a very good job of communicating out on the floor. We have balls fall in between two girls that are standing there looking at each other. Somebody needs to be the aggressor and go after it.”

OSCEOLA — Interstate 35’s serve receive handled whatever Clarke threw at it in their volleyball match on Sept. 19 in Osceola.

The Roadrunners were able to turn on their offense effectively in rolling to a three-set sweep of the Indians, 25-15, 25-15 and 25-7.

“I was pleased,” said Interstate 35 coach Tim McKinney. “Clarke has notoriously strong serving. I was fearful of that. They can be troublesome from the service line.

We kept our composure.”

Interstate 35 flipped the tables and served effectively itself. The Roadrunners

were 69-of-78 from the service line with 17 aces. Riley Morris had six, while Kate Stanley had four.

The strong Roadrunner serving left the Indian offense out of sync.

“We couldn’t get a pass up to do anything,” said Clarke coach Christa Subbert. “It’s hard to play volleyball when you can’t pass it.”

Interstate 35’s offense did what it wanted. Slye Richardson had 10 kills, while Morris had eight. Carlyn Stanley dished out 12 assists, while Kate Stanley had nine assists.

LeeAnn Helgevold and Deseree Stubbe each had three kills for Clarke. Breanna Lowry had 14 digs, while Cady Crawford added 10 digs. The Indians were 37-of37 serving.

OSCEOLA

By the Rev. Dr. Al Adams

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

“It has come to my attention that one of you is planning to report us to the authorities.”

“Who?” “Yes, who?”

“It is one who comes here to the Lord’s Table with us…”

Those gathered that evening in one of the “underground” churches in China looked around at one another. Who could it be?

The church was not in favor with the government; in fact, the authorities considered the Christians to be an enemy of the “approved order.”

Those found to be affiliated with a Christian gathering would be persecuted in many ways: lost job and school opportunities, lost health care and even lost freedom (prison or “re-education” camps).

The pastor drew their attention back to the Scripture, prayer and the message for the week. As those gathered came forward to receive Communion, the pastor looked each one in the eye.

As he served the bread and cup, he said to them, “The body of Christ, broken for you. The blood of Christ, shed for you.”

As the one who would betray them to the authorities came forward, the pastor served him Communion, slowly saying to him, “The body of Christ, broken for you. The blood of Christ, shed for you.”

As the man turned to go back to his

seat, the pastor quietly told him, “You do what you must, but know we will do likewise. We will not abandon Christ, for He will never abandon us.”

The man left immediately, not waiting for the usual closing prayer of blessing.

One of those gathered asked the pastor following worship, “Was it him?

Is he the one who will betray us and cause us harm?”

“Yes, I believe it is so, my brother.

We know that when we travel with Christ, many in the world consider that dangerous company. But I tell you something different. I tell you that to travel with those opposed to Christ is to travel in evil paths with the Devil.

And that – that is the worst, most dangerous company imaginable.”

At the last meal he shared with His disciples, Jesus said this: “Make sure you get this right: Receiving someone I send is the same as receiving me, just as receiving me is the same as receiving the One who sent me.” After he said these things, Jesus became visibly upset, and then he told them why.

“One of you is going to betray me.”

It was not easy for those Chinese Christians. They had to change their meeting place and time. Several were questioned by government authorities and encouraged not to keep such “dangerous company.”

One family was sent to a “re-education” (hard labor) camp. In the face of these consequences, this family, and many others, chose the temporary, worldly “dangerous company” of the

camps over the permanent, truly dangerous company of those who denied Christ.

Most of us cannot imagine what it would really be like to be part of this kind of church, but some of us may have experienced difficult consequences of following Christ in our personal and/or business relationships.

Sometimes, we may have thought it would be easier, and perhaps more profitable business-wise, not to be His disciples. Perhaps we’ve even hidden our discipleship in order to achieve more worldly successes.

If the pastor of the “underground” church were to talk with you in a time when you were tempted to hide your discipleship to Christ, what do you think he would say?

How will you deal with the times you are tempted to hide your discipleship to Christ?

17 compete at Hopeville memorial cribbage tourney This year was the sixth-annual cribbage tourney and the 38th-annual Hopeville Rural Music Reunion. There was a tie for the winning trophy.

■

A record 17 people competed in the Jim Overholtzer Memorial Cribbage Tournament that was held at the Hopeville Rural Music Reunion.

There was a tie for the winning trophy. The two winners won all five games of the tournament by playing other contestants. They decided to share the glory and the trophy.

The two were Joshua Shields, formerly of Grand River who now is a landscape architect in Ames.

The other winner was John Klein, one of the founders of the Hopeville festival in 1979. He is a retired NRCS wetland biologist now living in Treynor.

While most of the contestants lived locally, many Des Moines card players attended and one from Omaha.

Jim Overholtzer was the retired postmaster in Grand River, and therefore knew everyone and was popular.

He was also a master cribbage player, and taught several of the local contestants how to play the game.

He eventually retired to Mount Ayr, and set the bar with cribbage playing at the senior meals center.

Now, every year his family provides a new trophy for each year’s tournament.

This year was the sixth-annual cribbage tournament and the 38th-annual Hopeville Rural Music Reunion.

The music reunion began with an outdoor church service at 10 a.m. and the country music performers began at 11 a.m. The music continued non-stop until 4 p.m.

Concessions, including homemade pies, were sold to support the Hopeville Church, which is the only remaining community building remaining in the once thriving town.

Hopeville is located in southwest Clarke County near the confluence of Clarke, Union, Ringgold and Decatur counties.

Hopeville, the oldest town in Clarke County, started as a communal society with the new settlers owning everything collectively.

Sept. 10, 2017, will be the date for the next Hopeville Rural Music Reunion and another cribbage tournament.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

SCHOOL: CONT. FROM | 1

was a freshman at the old high school building, graduating in the class of 1964.

I majored in elementary education at what is now called University of Northern Iowa.

In my senior year of university, President Kennedy’s Peace Corps caught my attention. I was accepted into Peace Corps service and was in Nepal, where I taught vocational agriculture, science and English for three years.

At the completion of Peace Corps service, I got a job at the school set up for the children of American embassy and USAID staff. I taught there for nine years.

From Nepal, I went to Japan in 1983. Private schools in Japan were beginning to offer “oral communication” classes to supplement their grammar-translation approach in the teaching of English. I was fortunate to be the first such teacher in Nihon University’s Buzan Junior and Senior High School, where I taught for

19 years.

During that time, I took courses at the School for International Training in Vermont and received my MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. With that degree, I transitioned into teaching university classes. The last 10 years of teaching in Japan, I was fortunate to be able to devote full time to Tamagawa University, to help design the English curriculum in their newly forming Liberal Arts Department.

The university had an age-mandated retirement and in 2012, I returned to the house I was born into. Though I don’t call myself a farmer, I own a farm bought from old family friends and neighbors when they were ready to retire back in the 90’s.

Why are you running for this position?

I was shocked to learn nobody had run for this seat in the previous school board election, and when it seemed that this time it was going to be uncontested, I decided to run. In general, I believe that there should be a choice in elections.

What makes you the best

candidate for the job?

Though I spent over 40 years teaching overseas, Clarke Community Schools kept re-appearing in my life. In 1980, when I was home from Nepal for a year sabbatical, my adopted son attended his senior year at Clarke Community High School. That year, I was a substitute teacher.

Again, from 1988 through 1991, Clarke Community High School opened its doors for groups of 20 or more Japanese junior high school students who came for three weeks of homestay with local families.

When I retired and returned home, I had not considered there being an enticing career opportunity in Osceola until I saw an ad for an instructor at SWCC in their Adult Education and Literacy Program.

For two years, I have taught English as a Second Language classes. In addition, I do online testing for high school equivalency diploma (replaced GED).

This term, SWCC asked me to teach a course to help prepare students for the U.S. citizenship exam.

I enjoy my classes and

THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 29, 2016

contacts within SWCC and have discovered that much has changed in public education since I was a student.

Being a school board member is one way in which to become more aware of changes, issues and policies within Iowa public education and specifically within Clarke Community Schools. It is also a chance to give back to the school and community that continued to support me, even when I was teaching halfway around the world.

If elected, what goals do you have planned in relation to the position?

I have no specific goals in mind, no agenda. If elected, I will be active within school board meetings, become more knowledgeable of our schools, and put in the necessary work to understand the issues and policies that influence the quality of education that students can strive for, both within and outside the classrooms of Clarke Community Schools.

I would appreciate your vote and the opportunity to serve.

Brian Crawford Tell me about yourself/ background.

I am a graduate of Clarke CSD and William P e n n University. I am married to Molly Crawford for 18 Crawford years and we have four children enrolled at Clarke.

Most recently I have fulfilled one year of service as a school board member at Clarke and have previously been on multiple different community boards including Clarke County Development Corporation and Osceola Water Works.

I am employed at McKinstry, a design-build, operate and maintain general contractor as their operations manager for Iowa, Missouri and Minnesota.

We live in Ward Township and enjoy family and school activities.

Why are you running for this position?

I personally believe that we must all contribute and give back positively to our

11

community and the next generation with the talents and gifts that we are blessed with. I look forward to continuing to serve this community and students of Clarke.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

I realize that I personally am not going to change the world, but together we can work to make Clarke School District better. This can be done by listening to parents, students, faculty and citizens of Clarke to implement policies and procedures that will enrich the learning environment at Clarke CSD. It is important to challenge the status quo and expect excellence from all.

If elected, what goals do you have planned in relation to the position?

I believe it is import to make sound decisions as a board member that is in the best interest of promoting the learning environment of all students at Clarke.

My goal is to promote the teaching and learning environment of all students at Clarke so they will become positive citizens and wage earners in our community and nation.

PUBLIC NOTICE

NEWS WATER: CONT. FROM | 1

Also during this time, the water works will make a temporary change in the disinfectant used in water treatment. Osceola’s annual switch from chloramines to free chlorine is a common practice in water treatment. Free chlorine is a stronger disinfectant than chloramine, but it also creates byproducts that are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, so it cannot be used yearround. The use of ammonia with chlorine – chloramines – reduces or eliminates these byproducts and helps the water works department continue to provide clean and safe drinking water for all residents. This proactive cleansing step,

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

used in conjunction with hydrant flushing, ensures that the water works can maintain the best levels of disinfection throughout the water system and eliminate harmful bacteria in the water mains and pipes in the city.

From Oct. 5 through Nov. 15, residents may notice a stronger chlorine odor and taste in their tap water due to the change in disinfecting products. While this change poses no risk to the people of Osceola, we recommend the testing of any water being added to aquariums or ponds to avoid harming fish or other animals. Pet stores or fish supply stores should have additives to remove free chlorine or chloramine from water used in fish tanks or ponds. Residents who are sensitive to chlorine will want to keep an open container of tap NOTICE OF PROPOSED ACTION TO INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS TO ENTER INTO A GENERAL OBLIGATION STREET IMPROVEMENT LOAN AGREEMENT IN A PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $500,000 The City Council of the City of Osceola, Iowa, will meet on the 4th day of October, 2016, at the City Hall Council Chambers, Osceola, Iowa, at 7:00 o'clock p.m., for the purpose of holding a public hearing on a proposal to enter into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") in a principal amount not to exceed $500,000, for the purpose of paying the cost, to that extent, of constructing street improvements.

The Loan Agreement is proposed to be entered into pursuant to authority contained in Section 384.24A of the Code of Iowa and will constitute a general obligation of the City.

At that time and place, oral or written objections may be filed or made to the proposal to enter into the Loan Agreement. After receiving objections, the City may determine to enter into the Loan Agreement, in which case, the decision will be final unless appealed to the District Court within fifteen (15) days thereafter.

By order of the City Council of the City of Osceola, Iowa.

water in the refrigerator to allow the chlorine to naturally dissipate and reduce the taste and smell of the water.

“The Osceola Water Works department is dedicated to bringing the residents of Osceola the safest and best-tasting water in southern Iowa,” said Water Works Superintendent Brandon Patterson. “Through annual hydrant-flushing and strong, safe disinfectants, they will continue to work hard to meet the needs of the people of Osceola.”

If you have questions or comments about your water service, contact Patterson, 208 W. Jefferson St., PO Box 515, Osceola, IA 50213, phone 641-342-1435, email osceolawater2@ windstream.net or visit the website www.OsceolaNOTICE OFat PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED 2016A AMENDMENT TO WaterWorks.com.

URBAN RENEWAL PLAN FOR

OSCEOLA URBAN RENEWAL AREA Notice Is Hereby Given: That at 7:00 o'clock p.m., at the City Hall Council Chambers, Osceola, Iowa, on the 18th day of October, 2016, the City Council of the City of Osceola, Iowa, will hold a public hearing on the question of amending the urban renewal plan for the Osceola Urban Renewal Area to describe new urban renewal projects involving the use of incremental property tax revenues.

The new projects include the following: 1. The City has identified various properties in the Urban Renewal Area that are in need of assistance in order to return them to habitable or functional purposes.

The City will create a program to acquire, rehabilitate or demolish these properties, using tax increment revenues, and return them to the property tax rolls. City action would be initiated only after adoption by the City Council of a resolution finding that a particular property is blighted, deteriorated or otherwise in need of assistance from the City. It is estimated that a maximum of $1,000,000 in tax increment revenues would be devoted to this program.

2. In order to provide an incentive for the development of housing, the City plans to enter into an agreement with the Clarke County Development Corporation, under which the Corporation would provide building lots to developers who would be required to construct housing units, and the City would make economic development payments to the Corporation from incremental property tax revenues generated from the developed properties.

It is estimated that a maximum of $500,000 in tax increment revenues would be devoted to this program.

3. To assist with transportation and development planning in the I-35 corridor that runs through the City, it is estimated that a maximum of $100,000 in tax increment revenues would be used to fund a comprehensive corridor study.

A copy of the amendment is on file for public inspection in the office of the City Clerk.

At said hearing any interested person may file written objections or comments and may be heard orally with respect to the subject matters of the hearing.

Iowa Bankers Association honors Jim Schipper with Leach Leadership Award JOHNSTON – The Iowa Bankers Association (IBA) presented James M. Schipper with the James A. Leach Leadership Award at the IBA Annual Convention on Sept. 19 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium.

The IBA created the award in Congressman Leach’s name in 2000 following his term as chairman of the U.S. House Banking Committee. The annual award recognizes a distinguished Iowa banker who, like Congressman Leach, has made significant, life long contributions to how Iowa banks serve Iowa communities.

“James Schipper has been a national leader for Iowa banking,” said IBA President and CEO John Sorensen. “Throughout his career as a banker, community leader and regulator, he was consistent in his desire to do what’s best for the people of Iowa. His legacy of service is one that the next generation of Iowa’s community bankers can look up to and follow.”

Schipper has more than 40 years of experience as a community banker. In 1987, he organized an investor group to establish Osceola Bancorporation and obtained a de novo

charter for American State Bank. He served as the charter CEO of the bank for 22 years, helping the bank build assets over $185 million. He currently serves as chairman of American State Bank.

Schipper has been an active leader for the banking industry – including serving as the superintendent of the Iowa Division of Banking from 2011 to 2015. He also has held many leadership roles with the IBA, including as a board member, treasurer and board chair in 2008. He has served on the American Bankers Association (ABA) Government Relations Council and Community Bankers Council. He served a twoyear term on the Board of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and was co-chair of the CSBS Banker Advisory Board. He has also served on the board of directors for Community Bankers of Iowa and SHAZAM, Inc. Schipper has also been an active leader in his community, serving as president of the Clarke County Development Corporation, as a trustee for the Clarke County Public Hospital and on countless community

“Jim has been the epitome of the successful community banker,” said Mick Guttau, chair of the award nominating committee.

“He not only has a heart for serving his clients and community, but also his industry through his leadership roles with the IBA and the Iowa Division of Banking.”

The Iowa Bankers Association represents Iowa banks and savings institutions. Iowa bankers are committed to the values of honesty, hard work and community service, and have been a trusted resource for Iowans for more than 100 years. Iowa banks
