School board reverses decision in open enrollment after harassing letter is found By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]

Editors note: Osceola Sentinel-Tribune is not naming the mother or daughter in the article.

A Clarke student who had origi-nally been denied a late filed open enrollment request, citing racism as a just cause, has had the deci-sion overturned by Clarke Com-

munity School Board.During an Aug. 25 Clarke

School Board meeting, the mother spoke during the public comment section.

She said her family received a harassing letter in their family’s mailbox. The school board had a copy of the letter made available to them.

“The letter pretty much details what will happen if my daughter is

allowed to go to this school,” the mother said.

The Osceola Sentinel-Tribune is not going to detail what was said in the letter at the meeting, but it did involve harassment and racism.

“This was left at our house tell-ing us exactly what would happen if I let her walk through those doors,” the mother said.

She said law enforcement was doing a handwriting analysis on

the letter and called the harass-ment a hate crime.

“In light of this new evidence, I see no reason why the original resolution to deny her open en-rollment cannot be rescinded,” the mother said.

The letter had been addressed with administration before the meeting.

The mother said she still wanted to do her original plan of teach-

ing her daughter at home through K-12 public school open enroll-ment, also known as CAM.

“There’s no way that anybody can tell me she will be safe 100 percent of the time in the school, unless there’s actually somebody walking around with her,” she said.

Championship win brings long-term school spirit By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]

Winning a state championship is something that can be celebrated for an entire year.

Clarke’s softball team made an ap-pearance at Clarke’s School Board meeting Monday, Aug. 25.

Their class 3A championship tro-phy was with them.

“It’s not just the state champion-ship,” said Gerard Linskens, school board president. “It’s the success of the whole program, and each of you ladies, as well, you’re an inspiration for all the younger kids, as well. It’s just unbelievable, and I see that in my own daughter.”

Coach Lindsay Diehl addressed the board and said how the team has been helping with the training of the young-er students in the district.

“I’ve always been proud to be from Clarke, but it just keeps growing more and more every year,” she said.

Trophy caseDiehl said she has been talking to

Ryan Sweeney, Clarke’s activities di-rector, and one of the school’s trophy cases is going to be cleared out “be-cause all of the softball stuff is kind of getting bunched up and scattered.”

The plan is for Clarke’s softball tro-phies and accolades to have one des-ignated area.

As for the championship trophy, Diehl said the softball players each got to take the trophy home one at a

time this summer.“Everybody got to have a slumber

party with her,” she said. “I’d run into it at the Mexican restaurant or here or there. I think somebody even took it into the courthouse and showed it around. It’s awesome to share it with the community.”

Diehl said the next step is to buy softball championship rings and start wearing them.

Joe Deutsch, Clarke School Board member, said the team brought a lot of good feelings to the community.

“I just sense the excitement in our students this year coming to school. And, you guys have set that attitude and that tone,” he said. “Congratula-tions again, you guys have earned ev-ery bit of that this year.”

Stewart makes bike tour stop in Osceola during U.S. Senate campaign

OST photo by AMY HANSENRick Stewart, an Independent candidate for U.S. Senate, makes a campaign stop at Osceola Sentinel-Tribune dur-ing his 99-county bicycle tour of Iowa.

By AMY HANSEN OST news editor • [email protected]

“I am not for sale.”This is one of the slogans

for Rick Stewart’s political campaign. He is an indepen-dent candidate for U.S. Sen-ate and will be on the ballot with Republican candidate Joni Ernst and Democratic candidate Bruce Braley.

Stewart, 63, is biking through the 99 counties of Iowa and was in Clarke County Tuesday, Aug. 26.

Stewart, on purpose, doesn’t accept campaign contributions because he be-lieves that leads to negative advertising and being be-holden to the political views

recently issued a procla-mation of disaster emer-gency for Clarke County in response to recent severe weather.

The governor’s proc-lamation allows state re-sources to be utilized to re-spond to and recover from the effects of severe storms

and heavy rains on Aug. 23, 2014. In addition, the proclamation also activates the Iowa Individual Assis-tance Program for Clarke County.

The Iowa Individual As-sistance Program provides grants of up to $5,000 for households with incomes up to 200 percent of the

federal poverty level, or a maximum annual income of $39,580, for a family of three.

Grants are available for home or car repairs, re-placement of clothing or food and for the expense of temporary housing.

Original receipts are re-quired for those seeking

reimbursement for actual expenses related to storm recovery.

The grant application and instructions are avail-able on Iowa Department of Human Services website. Potential applicants have 45 days from the date of the proclamation to submit a claim.

Queck named IFAA scholarship winnerDES MOINES — Paul

Queck of Peru was awarded the $1,000 FFA/IFAA Foun-dation scholarship by Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA) dur-ing the Iowa State Fair Sale of Champions Saturday, Aug. 16.

Queck’s parents are Steve and Dara Queck.

“IFAA established the Winner’s Circle Scholarship Program in 1990 to provide incentives for college-bound youths seeking post-second-ary education in an area of agriculture,” said Harold Hodson of Ankeny, who chairs the IFAA scholarship committee.

More than $189,250 in scholarships were awarded to 129 youths this year by IFAA.

IFAA is a non-profit or-ganization founded in 1988. It is comprised of agricul-

tural enthusiasts dedicated to encouraging 4-H and FFA livestock, poultry and agri-culture project members to pursue ag-related careers.

IFAA founders recog-nized Iowa’s young people are the future of agriculture in Iowa and an important way to support and retain Iowa’s future ag leaders is to provide financial support to those young people inter-ested in ag careers.

IFAA’s primary programs are the Sale of Champions, which is done in conjunction with the annual Iowa State Fair, and the Winner’s Circle Scholarship and Awards pro-gram.

More than $6,567,757 has been generated since 1988 for 1,613 Winner’s Circle scholarships, 1,107 Perfor-mance and Carcass awards and 362 Sale of Champions livestock exhibitors.

August Shining Star Award WinnerJesus Murillo

The August Shining Star award was presented by Warrior Osceola and Osceola Chamber Main Street to Jesus Murillo, employee at Fareway Grocery Store in downtown Osceola.

Jesus was nominated by Shelly Thomas, “I was shopping for groceries and looking for 2 boxes of my favorite type of cereal. There was only one box on the shelf. A young man that I had not seen working there before approached me and asked if I would like him to check for more in the store room. Sure, that sounded great. I continued to shop, and in a few minutes he caught up with me in another aisle. Jesus told me that he was very sorry, but there were no more boxes of that cereal in the back. I thought to myself, no big deal. I already had one box of cereal and we weren’t going to starve. I thanked him for checking and kept on shopping. What really surprised me was when he caught up with me a few minutes later. In his hand was a box of cereal. He explained that this kind was comparable to the brand that I was looking for but was produced by a different manufacturer. He wondered if I would like to purchase it so I would have my 2 boxes. Wow! He really wanted me to be able to get everything on my list. (Of course I purchased both boxes of cereal.)” Thomas concluded, “He went the extra mile to help a customer out. He could have kept stocking those shelves and let me walk past. I probably would not have noticed. But his care and concern truly shows he is a “Shining Star” and the Osceola community should be very proud of him.”

A Shining Star Award is given every month. Please send your nominations for the Shining Star Award to [email protected].

3OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 4, 2014OBITUARIES Merlin Holden Dade City, Fla.

Merlin “Fireball” Dar-rell Holden, 78, of Dade C i t y , F L , p a s s e d away at h o m e on Au-gust 10, 2014.

H e w a s born in Osceola, IA, on October 22, 1935, to Guy and Louise Holden—the second of four chil-dren. He graduated from Osceola High School in 1953. Merlin married Nancy Anne McNees on February 3, 1957. He joined the US Navy in 1957 and achieved the rank of Chief Aviation Electronics Technician. Merlin, Nancy, and their four daughters traveled the country (TN, TX, MD, FL, CA, VA, IA, and Washington, D.C.) for 20 years until he re-tired in 1976. He, Nancy, and their two young-est daughters moved to Osceola, IA, in 1976. He and Nancy moved to Dade City, FL in 1994.

Merlin was affection-ately called “Fireball” by his friends—a nickname acquired in his youth. He was called “Chief” or “Red” by his fellow sailors. He was called

“Dad” or “Pops” by his daughters. He was lov-ingly called “Papa” by his grandchildren. Merlin was fond of the saying “If I had known grandchil-dren were so much fun I would have had them first.” He enjoyed sing-ing “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Tradition” from Fiddler on the Roof along with the family. He was known to get up ear-ly on Christmas Day and open his presents before everyone else was awake. Merlin was technologi-cally savvy, building a TV component by com-ponent and networking/rebuilding/upgrading his home computers.

Merlin is survived by his wife Nancy; daugh-ters Cathy Parker, Julie Boswell, Cindy Holden, and Rebecca Loew; grandchildren Richard (Angela) Parker, Bran-don (Shannon) Mateer, Lauren Wiejak, Sarah Loew, Ayron Loew, Dylan Loew, and Bre-anna Boswell. He is also survived by several great grandchildren, with an-other on the way.

He was preceded in death by his father, mother, brother, sis-ter, son-in-law Bobby Parker, grandson Jesse Parker, and step grand-son Chris Boswell. At his request, Merlin was cre-mated and no memorial service was held.

BACK IN TIMEStock car races

By Marie WhiteClarke County Historical Society

In July 1951, racetrack owner Pearl (Pug) Page announced the formal opening of Osceola Flying Saucer Stock Car Track east of Osceola.

The track was located two and a-half miles east of Osceola on U.S. Highway 34 and one quarter mile south. Page, along with Con Hall and Russ Miller, built the track with a dozer and grader.

All of Osceola’s stock car drivers and top talent in the area were expected to be on hand for the opening event on the just completed quarter mile dirt track. Admission was $1, including tax.

Races were on Sundays with time trials starting at 1:30 p.m. Page’s wife Maxine and daugh-ter Evelyn (Mrs. Charles Kent) placed speakers on top of their car and drove around Osceola announcing the races. They also operated the refreshment stand at the races. Page’s son Bob Page drove a truck carry-ing a tank filled with water and watered the track the night be-fore the races.

Anyone could have a stock car. All that was required was an old car, fair mechanical knowledge, several hundred dollars’ worth of additional equipment and a mild streak of insanity.

The average stock car may have looked like a piece of junk running wild around the track, but you didn’t want to be de-ceived by appearances. The care, pains and expense going into the fugitives from the junk-

yard might have been more than that afforded the average late model car on the highway.

There were long, exhausting, late-into-the-night tune-up ses-sions and some late night test drives before the engine would breathe the dust, grime and grit of the tracks. These sessions resulted in sometimes startling performance of the cars.

The races were sponsored by Osceola Stock Car Association. Fifteen entries were on hand at the start of the first race with a good crowd on hand. The races were thrilling without any seri-ous accidents, aside from the usual fender scraping and ra-diator banging. At each race, emergency service included medical aid, ambulance and fire control. A wrecker always stood by.

Stock car racers and owners from Osceola, Weldon and Van Wert included Gene Hocken-smith, Jiggs (Keith) Davison, Louie Race, Don Crabb, Paul Stiles, Gene Hesseltine (1934 Ford), Lyle Kerns (1937 Ford Coupe) David Glenn, Malcolm Tiedje, Bill Tiedje, Junior Go-odrich, Galen Hylton, Cliff Low, Buddy Huffman, Phillip Patrick, Myron Jones and Ray Olsen.

Mabel Hylton of Osceola competed in the Powder Puff races driving red stock car No. 2.

Winners of some of the fast-est races of the year included Ray Olsen, Glen Curtis of Osceola, Jim Fowler, Fred Er-win of Chariton and Bill Alley of Humeston. Osceola driver Russell Cox won the Australian Pursuit and main event turning in the fastest time trial, as well

as 22.5 seconds. A time trial record of 21.7 was later set by Cox, breaking his own record.

The first race in July 1952 was under newly-installed lights at the track with the fast competitive lap ever turned — 22 seconds flat.

Don Miller of New Virginia was the only driver to win more than a single race taking the novelty and main event. Other winners were Buck Mason of Osceola, Bill Steele, Bob Ward and Ray McAuley of Cres-ton, Lyle Foster of Chariton, Leonard Davis of Leon, Duane Johnson of Hopeville and Bill Fisher of Mercer, Mo.

More than 800 racing fans were present at one race.

The racing fans were thrilled at one race by a rollover and collision right in front of the stands. The neck of one driver was strained by the jarring im-pact, but he continued on to win the race.

At another race, two cars be-came tangled together on the track and headed for the infield to avoid involving other driv-ers. A spectator was standing on the infield, and as the cars jerked apart, to avoid one car, he walked into or collided with the other car. He was treated at a local hospital and released the next morning.

Something new offered to racing fans in the area were Midget races. Some of the top Midget drivers from the Mid-west brought their powerful little cars to the track for the event.

Stock car racing continued every Sunday in 1953 with a good show, plenty of seats and $1 admission — including tax.

The board discussed that it was possible to rescind their original de-cision on the denial of open enroll-ment.

Original denialThat original denial of open enroll-

ment happened during an Aug. 11 Clarke School Board meeting.

During the Aug. 11 meeting, Clarke Superintendent Steve Seid recommended the school board deny the open enrollment request because it was made after the state’s March 1 deadline for the 2014-15 school year, and there wasn’t enough documenta-tion for the racism allegation to meet the good cause requirement for late approval.

During the meeting, school board members agreed there wasn’t enough proper documentation to overturn the decision to deny the late filed open enrollment, even though a let-ter the daughter had written docu-

menting the incidents had gone miss-ing from her school file.

Special meetingWith the new letter that had been

sent to the family’s mailbox, the school board scheduled a special meeting Thursday, Aug. 28, for the open enrollment request to be recon-sidered.

After research into the situation and circumstances, Seid recommend-ed the board reconsider and approve the late filed open enrollment request for the daughter.

“The only thing I’d like to say is in lieu of the new evidence that has been provided, that I’m going to re-verse my decision on the open en-rollment,” said Steve O’Tool, school board member.

Gerard Linskens, school board president, said he wanted to thank the mother for her patience as things were getting worked through, and that her daughter was always wel-come back at Clarke if she chooses.

OPEN ENROLLMENT:

of contributors.“I’m not a Democrat without a

brain. I’m not a Republican without a heart. I’m an Independent,” he said.

Stewart said he’s more interested in having a conversation with people, and a bicycle is a wonderful tool for that.

“A bicycle is an extremely friendly thing, and it forces me to meet real Iowans,” Stewart said. “Every day I meet dozens of real Iowans, and I get to talk to real Iowans.”

BackgroundStewart was born in Postville and

raised in Maquoketa. He has worked in Cedar Rapids for his entire career, except for serving two years on the Maquoketa police force.

He started a company in spices, which has now evolved into a busi-ness called Frontier Co-op.

“It’s the most famous Iowa busi-ness no one has ever heard of be-cause our customers are all natural food stores,” he joked.

When it comes to politics, Stewart said a main priority would be honest accounting, especially when it comes to the deficit.

“If a business kept their books like the federal government, they’d go to jail,” he said.

More prioritiesHis next priority would be the na-

tion’s war on drugs.“It’s the stupidest thing we’ve ever

done,” Stewart said. “It’s the worst war in American history. We’ve spent more on the drug war than any other war in American history. We’ve had more casualties on the drug war than all of the wars in American history,

including the Civil War. We haven’t even won a single skirmish.”

He said every time a drug king is busted, another one immediately steps up in his place.

He said letting the one million non-violent drug offenders out of jail would save the country an astound-ing amount of money.

The next political priority for Stew-art is illegal immigration.

He said the solution is simple — charge $50,000 for a green card.

“If you want one, no problem, buy one,” Stewart said. “As soon as you buy one, you can work legally for the rest of your life. What does that mean? It means you can pay taxes. It means you can take the bus back and forth to Mexico instead of having to smuggle yourself.”

He said the catch to the green card solution is with the business employ-ers. If an employer hires somebody without a green card, and the em-ployer is caught, the employer must pay $50,000 for the green card. This would mean accountability with em-ployer’s hiring practices.

Stewart lives part of the year in Guatemala, and knows how many thousands of dollars people pay just to get to the border, and not even know if they’ll get into the country.

In Iowa, Stewart said he wants to get rid of every ag subsidy — etha-nol, corn, soybean, renewal fuel stan-dards.

“All of those things are just distort-ing the market,” he said. “They’re bad for Americans, bad for America, bad for Iowans. ... It’s clear subsidies don’t help anybody except politi-cians. Politicians give them away like candy to get votes.”

On Sunday, Aug. 17, 2014, we saw the 65th gathering of descendants of the Heston and Danner families at the Woodburn Community Cen-ter.

In 1949, Roland Heston and the Virgil Thrashers started the dinner get-to-gether for the 11 children and many grandchildren of Lewis G. Heston and Rosan-na “Jane” Schnebly.

As two Heston girls had married Danner brothers and a Danner sister had mar-ried a Heston brother, it was deemed logical to have one reunion instead of two later on.

Both families were well grounded in Iowa with pio-neer roots. David Newton Danner and Hester Ann Sherwood came to Iowa in a covered wagon with baby Amanda.

Lafayette Sherwood, a Methodist circuit rider trav-eling with the Mormons, was injured when an ox team pulled a cart over him dur-ing a thunderstorm at Gos-hen. He died before the next campsite and was buried on the prairie, a place that be-came known as Last Chance.

Jesse Sherwood (father of Hester Ann), Methodist cir-cuit rider, helped establish

churches in our area, and Union chaplain Civil War, is buried at Attica.

John Schnebly came by rail to Mt. Pleasant (the tracks were not laid any fur-ther west), then stagecoach to Chariton, and by horse to his homestead. His wife died, leaving him with little girls to raise, so he married his neighbor’s daughter Mary Ann Pim — one of the first school teachers in the area.

Associated names Co-chran, Reid, Spencer, Won-dery, Zopka, Kent.

Mary Ann’s folks (Sam and Mary Jane Pim) came here from Ohio in the cov-

ered wagon. The Heston family had the honor of host-ing the national Heston re-union at the Clarke County fairgrounds in the early 1960s.

These thoughts that I write to you came to me as I trav-eled by the old homesteads, remembered the old tales told.

I’m sure your families have histories as interesting as mine, so write it down, don’t let it be forgotten. We can use the past as our inspi-ration for our future.

Our families are still here and still remembered with the oldest member present

Twyla James Cooper, 91, of Carlisle (daughter of long-time Osceola resident Jessie James, not the outlaw) and the youngest Jessalyn Pollitt.

The family thanks the Woodburn Community Cen-ter for the use of their facil-ity and the help provided by Herman and Lois Danner.

By the Rev. Dr. Al AdamsFirst Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Osceola

“I wish I knew his name.” He paused for a moment. “You know, I’ve never forgotten him, never forgotten his face. God knows who he is, but I sure wish I did. You asked me what my most memorable event was in my over 30 years as a cop, and here it is.”

“I remember it like it was yesterday. I was new on the beat, just a rookie in the worst part of town. You could say I was in the dark in more than one way that night. I didn’t even know what was going down, not till this homeless, nameless kid screamed ‘Get down.’ I remember him run-ning in front of me, remember diving for the sidewalk, re-member the shots, remember the blood all over the place.”

“That kid didn’t even know me. Worse yet, cops weren’t real popular in that neighborhood, you know? Before I knew it, my partner was there, medics were on the scene, and I figured out most of that blood wasn’t mine. That kid, he couldn’t have been more than 14 years old. He gave his life up for me, a cop – a guy he didn’t even know, and prob-ably never even saw before.”

He pulled an old, worn picture out of his wallet. “I call him Jimmy.”

Cameras zoomed in on the picture. “We never found out his name, but I’ll never forget his

face. This whole thing today, the party, this wonderful re-tirement celebration – I want you to know it’s in memory of him.”

Few eyes were dry by this time as he raised his glass and looked heavenward.

“Bless you, Jimmy, and thanks for blessing me with such an extravagant gift – the gift of a lifetime.”

Did you know that Jesus suffered and died – for people who didn’t even know Him? For generations of people not even born yet? Now that’s the tops of anonymous extrava-gance. How many of us would do that?

Think for a moment about this gift brought to Jesus, and His response: “Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had leprosy. During supper, a woman came in with a beauti-ful jar of expensive perfume and poured it over his head. The disciples were indignant when they saw this. “What a waste of money,” they said. “She could have sold it for a fortune and given the money to the poor.” But Jesus replied, “Why berate her for doing such a good thing to me? You will always have the poor among you, but I will not be here with you much longer. She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial. I assure you, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be talked about in her memory.” (Matthew 26: 1-13, New Living Translation)

What about this woman with the expensive perfumed oil? How much food could she have provided for her family if she’d sold it? Why would she “waste it” on Jesus’ head? What if it was all she had? Never mind the objections of the disciples; what about her family? Can’t you just hear it now, “So, what did you get for that expensive oil at market? What did you bring home for us? You did what with it? You know he’s trouble, that ‘Jesus.’ And you did what?”

Anonymous extravagance. Jimmy did it. The woman with the oil did it. Jesus was God in living, breathing, loving extravagance. How about us?

How do we live our lives in the light of God’s “anony-mous extravagance?” How do we respond to His amazing grace given for us – even before we were born? Let’s spread Jesus’ extravagant gift – everywhere we go and in every company we keep.

Anonymous extravagance

2014 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame Honorees celebrated at the Iowa State Fair AMES – Eighty-two

counties and two state level Iowa 4-H volunteers were inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during the 2014 ceremony at the 4-H Exhibits Build-ing at the Iowa State Fair Sunday, Aug. 17.

Inductees or their surviv-ing family members were presented a certificate by the Iowa 4-H Foundation as they were introduced on stage. A reception, spon-sored by donors to the

Iowa 4-H Foundation, was held shortly after each of the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame presentations.

County honorees were selected by their re-spected counties for their outstanding service and dedication to 4-H, while the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Iowa 4-H Programs office nominated two honorees this year for their service to Iowa 4-H and beyond.

7OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 4, 2014SPORTSTurnovers hamper Clarke in loss to SaydelBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]

DES MOINES — Saydel broke in its brand new football stadium here Fri-day with a 26-15 win over Clarke in rainy conditions.

After the two teams ex-changed punts on their first drives, Clarke struck first with an 81-yard touch-down drive.

Junior Morales took the first play of the drive 81 yards for a touchdown on a pitchout around the right side, but the play was called back because of a holding penalty.

Facing a third-and-12, quarterback Rich Wilkins f o u n d Reed Kale across the middle for a gain of 56 yards, all the way down to the Saydel 14 yard line.

The Indians quickly found themselves in an-other third-and-long situ-ation, but Wilkins found Kale wide open across the middle in the end zone for a touchdown. Ali Aly’s kick made it 7-0 Clarke with 3:02 to go in the first quarter.

But that’s when momen-tum began to shift toward Saydel.

“In the beginning of the game, we had a lot of time to throw the ball and we threw the ball well early,” Clarke head coach Mi-chael Kline said. “And then they started sending blitzers like there’s no to-morrow. Our line play got a little tired and we didn’t pick them up like we need-

ed to.”After the Clarke defense

forced a three-and-out, Saydel punted from its own 33 yard line.

In a key play, the Eagles downed the punt at the Clarke 1 yard line for a 66 yard punt.

On the first play of Clarke’s ensuing drive, Wilkins was picked off

by Saydel senior Clayton Sommers at the 17 yard line.

Four plays later, Som-mers ran around the right side for a 7-yard touch-down. A Grant Sherman 2-point conversion made the score 8-7 Saydel with :46 left in the first quarter.

After a Clarke three-and-out, Saydel took over

on its own 28 yard line. The Eagles would chew up five minutes of game clock with their only sustained drive of the game, going 72 yards for a touchdown.

Clarke forced a fourth-and-14 from the Saydel 15 yard line, but the Eagles converted the fourth down into a touchdown when Sommers threaded a pass

through two Clarke de-fenders to Justin Carr for a touchdown, making it 14-8.

That’s when the rain be-gan to fall.

Neither team could get anything going in the third quarter until Devin Porter recovered a Clarke fumble at the Indian 3 yard line with 5:59 remaining in the quarter. Sommers quickly

punched the ball into the end zone, making it 20-7 in favor of the Eagles.

With 11:55 left in the game, Dylan Coffin re-covered a fumble on the Clarke 10 yard line. Less than a minute later, Som-mers found Carr in the end zone on a rollout to put the Eagles up 26-7 with 11:20 to go in the game.

“I thought our effort was there tonight, but we turned the ball over five times,” Kline said. “Three of them inside our 20 yard line. When you give them that short of a field, they’re going to score points and that’s what they did. It ended up being an 11 point game, and there’s 20 points right there. There effort was there, just the discipline and the ball security was not.”

Clarke scored in the fi-nal minute of the game to make the score 26-15.

A 60-yard reception by D u s t a n Van Loon on a con-t e s t e d ball set up a 21-yard t o u c h -down run by Mo-rales with :23 left. Gordon Witt ran in the 2-point conversion.

“Offensively, our receiv-ers went up and caught a couple of passes that were contested balls,” Kline said. “Went up and got them. That’s a good thing.”

One of the keys to Clarke’s success this sea-son, according to Kline, was going to be his team’s ability to stop the run.

Central Decatur 33, Nodaway Valley 12

GREENFIELD — Cen-tral Decatur spoiled Nod-away Valley’s Coach Daut Kickoff Classic here on Friday with a 33-12 win over the Wolverines.

Nodaway Valley hon-ored the 2006 team coached by legendary coach the late Bob Daut, who picked up his 200th career win that season, his final season at the helm.

The Cardinals built a 26-0 lead over the Wolver-ines, before Nodaway Val-ley cut the score to 26-14 with 1:48 left in the third quarter.

The position changes for senior Trenton Wells and junior Peyton Pedersen paid off for the Cardinals.

Wells finished the game 8-of-17 passing for 168 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

His two touchdown passes both went to Peder-sen, now playing wide re-ceiver. Pedersen finished the game with four catches for 109 yards and the two scores. Pedersen also re-turned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown.

Wells also racked up 123 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 17 car-ries to lead the Cardinal ground game. Junior Pey-ton Gilbert picked up 51 yards on 10 carries.

Kyle Palmer caught one pass for 47 yards and Noah Bishop picked up 12 yards on three catches.

Defensively, Gilbert and Wells led the charge, as both players finished the game with 13 total tackles. Palmer finished with nine stops and Bishop recorded eight tackles. Sophomore Justin Shields finished the game with seven tackles.

Gilbert added two fum-

ble recoveries and Rayden Boswell pounced on one fumble.

Central Decatur held Nodaway Valley to just 92 yards through the air and 175 yards on the ground on 44 carries.

The Cardinals host PCM on Friday. The Mustangs dropped their season opener to Pella Christian on Friday, 44-30.Nevada 49, Interstate 35 13

TRURO — Interstate 35 featured an efficient pass-ing attack here Friday in its opener, but the Road-runners couldn’t contain a potent Nevada rushing at-tack in a 49-13 loss.

Senior Chase Dobson led the Nevada ground attack with 240 yards and four touchdowns on 13 carries. Peyton Sharp add-ed 98 yards and two touch-

downs on four carries, while Traye Pelzer ran for 92 yards and one score on nine carries.

Nevada attempted just one pas in the game.

For the Roadrunners, Jaylan White complete 8-of-13 passes for 121 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Junior Cole Daniels led the team with five catch-es for 81 yards and one touchdown. Taylor O’Dea caught the other touch-down, finishing with the one catch for 12 yards. Daniel Kennedy grabbed one pass for 24 yards, while Zach Goering had one reception for 4 yards.

Zachary Irelan ran the ball 21 times for 76, while White finished with 15 yards on nine carries.

Defensively, Wyatt Davenport and Blake Ko-zak each finished with

four tackles to lead the Roadrunners. Davenport, O’Dea and Zach Stewart each finished with one solo tackle for loss.

Interstate 35 returns to action Friday at home against Martensdale-St. Marys, which opened its season with a 36-20 loss at home to Woodward-Granger.Mormon Trail 34, Murray 0

HUMESTON — It’s a new Murray team with first-year starters at ev-ery position, so Friday’s opener was a learning ex-perience as Mormon Trail posted a 34-0 victory.

Coach Taylor Ful-ton said field conditions played a big factor after torrential rains in the days leading up to the game. The Mustangs were ham-pered by eight turnovers,

and fell short of the goal line despite several trips into the red zone.

Jack Jones, one of five sophomore starters, led Murray with 47 yards rush-ing on 12 carries. He also had 38 yards receiving on two catches from quarter-back Thane Simmons.

On defense, Jones had 17 tackles and two f u m b l e r e c o v e r -ies. Soph-o m o r e J o s h u a B a r b e r had 12 t a c k l e s at middle linebacker. Mason Sim-mons and Dustin Teas each had 10 tackles.

“The team played very well despite the final out-come,” Fulton said. “I be-lieve that this is a game

that we can build from as it will serve as motivation to set the tone for the sea-son in the coming weeks. We were able to move the ball and played some great defense as a team. hav-ing such a young team — eight sophomores played in large roles — playing a very tough schedule will be very beneficial to these players as they continue to grow into their roles.”

This week the Mustangs play host to Wayne and preseason all-state run-ning back Clayton Kiefer to finish the non-district part of the season. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

Pheasant coverBOONE — “They Gotta’

Have Cover” is a new and catchy way to call attention to what farmers can do to bring back pheasants and other grassland birds.

Debuting at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Aug. 26-28, the video fea-tures three farmers rap-ping about the cover types they’ve planted, then nur-tured to shelter and feed pheasant throughout the year.

Once you hear the lyrics, you won’t be able to forget them.

“They gotta’ have cover! Yes they do, yes they do!” or

“Gotta’ have grass for the pheasants to nest, 10 to 12 inches is what the hens like best.”

It’s not as simple as plant-ing a field of brome or switch grass, and watching the birds fly. The DNR’s re-search shows that managed farms with three essential types of habitat produce more birds than unman-aged farms — three times as many.

What’s good for pheasant is good for most grassland birds, from meadowlarks to quail; Henslowe sparrows to bobolinks.

Since the 1960s, Iowa has lost half the ideal land for grassland birds – land in hay and small grains like oats – dropping from more than 7 million to 3.4 million acres. As a result, grassland birds are in trouble.

“Gotta’ have Cover” gives farmers a quick tu-

torial on how to bring the birds back. The video is on the Iowa DNR’s pheasant page at www.iowadnr.gov/pheasants.

Stop by the DNR booth in Conservation Central, Lot 817, at the Farm Prog-ress Show and prepare to be entertained.

While you’re there, check out “Farmer Feud,” hot top-ic speakers, nine cover crop plots, the Soil Health trailer and booths at all 12 conser-vation partners. More infor-mation is available atwww.iowadnr.gov.

Habitat and Hunter Access Program

Landowners and hunt-ers will benefit from a re-cent announcement that Iowa will receive $3 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand the Iowa Habitat and Ac-cess Program (IHAP). The announcement came from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in August as part of a $20 million alloca-tion to 10 states.

The DNR’s Iowa Habi-tat and Access Program provides landowners with financial assistance to im-prove habitat. In return, participating landowners agree to open those lands for public hunting.

According to Kelly Smith, private lands program coor-

dinator, the DNR will use the grant to enhance 22,000 acres with improvements such as grass seeding, tree and shrub plantings, food plots, timber stand improve-ments and wetland restora-tions.

“We’ve seen growing de-mand by hunters for more public access, and by land-owners for more habitat im-provement opportunities,” said Smith. “This grant will more than triple the number of acres enrolled in the pro-gram.”

The DNR launched the Iowa Habitat and Access Program in 2011. Since then, more than 8,000 acres at 50 locations have received habitat improvements and provided new hunting op-portunities.

“We have surveyed par-ticipating landowners and they have shown high satis-faction with the program,” said Smith. “Landowners say they’ve had very few concerns with hunters on their land, and would rec-ommend other landowners participate.”

Additionally, hunters seem pleased to have more options for places to hunt. Lands enrolled in IHAP are open for public hunting from Sept. 1 – May 31 and follow the same regulations as public wildlife areas.

“We ask hunters to fill out cards to let us know about their hunting experience on an IHAP parcel,” said

For the most part on Fri-day, the Indians were able to contain the Saydel rush-ing attack.

The Eagles finished the game with 104 rushing yards on 30 carries, most of which came on the team’s 72-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter.

“Our defense looked phenomenal tonight, I thought,” Kline said. “We always talk about hav-ing to stop the run and we stopped the run tonight. I thought we did a good job there. Our defense gave a lot of good effort. Our of-fense put it in a lot of bad positions and they played hard. The effort was there tonight. The guys played like warriors. We only played maybe 14 guys to-night and they played hard. We just have to be more disciplined than we were tonight.”

In total, the Clarke de-fense held Saydel to just 175 yards of total offense. Sommers did the most damage, with 60 yards passing on 7-of-14 passing and 74 yards rushing on

15 carries. Sommers ac-counted for all four Saydel touchdowns.

Clarke returns to action on Friday at Colfax-Min-go, which was a 21-0 win-ner over Pleasantville in its season opener on Friday.

The Tigerhawks fea-tured a balanced offensive attack in that game, pass-ing for 214 yards on 22-of-34 passing and rushing for 168 yards on 33 attempts.

“They’re going to throw the ball around and hope-fully we’ll be ready defen-sively,” Kline said. “Offen-sively, we just need to shore up what we want to do and hold onto that f o o t b a l l . I’m re-ally proud of our effort. I thought we stuck together well as a team. It was just the discipline. We can’t dwell on it, we just have to move forward as a team and get better.”

Stats for Clarke from Friday were unavailable at press time.

The 16th annual Clarke County Farm Bureau Cookout contest was held Saturday, July 19, in con-junction with the Clarke County 4-H and FFA fair.

Three participants set up in the middle of the af-ternoon in mid-80s in the sun, to begin their hot, grueling job of grilling over the heat. There were no new contestants this year as everyone had par-

ticipated at some time in the past – Mike Anderson, Bert Houge and Team — Hank and Krystal Miler.

The contestants lined up down the main concrete thoroughfare. The overall winner this year was Mike Anderson of Osceola with his grilled BBQ pork loin.

12 THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNENEWSSouth Central Iowa Showdown held

Wayne County Fair host-ed the first-ever South Cen-tral Iowa Showdown 5:30 p.m. July 27 at Wayne Coun-ty Fairgrounds in Corydon.

The showdown consisted of the champion animals from the following coun-ties — Madison, Warren, Marion, Mahaska, Clarke, Davis, Appanoose, Wayne, Decatur and Ringgold.

Each county was invited to send one representative from each species — beef,

swine, goats and sheep — to participate in the Show-down.

Attending the showdown from Clarke County was Maeci Andrew and Sam Cooley of Osceola. This year’s judge for the show was Mark Hoge.

This event was a success because of the support of many sponsors, including Clarke County Farm Bu-reau.

Farmers’ Market going strongClarke County Farmers’

Market is beginning it’s peak for the season.

There have been 12 to 15 vendors on most mar-ket days, which are Tues-days from 3 to 6 p.m and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon.

There is a lot of garden produce (green beans,

squash, cucumbers, pep-pers, tomatoes, sweet corn, lettuce, Swiss chard) many baked goods (pies, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.) miscellaneous jams and jellies, honey, caramel corn, crafts, works of art, soaps and many things too numerous to mention have been filling the tables.

There has been a nice flow of customers, but more people need to buy local. It’s healthy, safe and fun to know where your food comes from and be economically supportive of local growers.

The farmers’ market sets up on the east side of the courthouse lawn

in the shade. It is in the rules that no sales are to be done before 3 p.m on Tuesdays or before 8 a.m. on Saturdays.

Do not expect the ven-dors to break the rules, but come out to see what they have to offer. Be sure to ask the vendors if their produce is locally grown.

Showmanship winner on to stateBerg Houge set a nice

table and won the show-manship at the 16th annual Clarke County Farm Bu-reau cookout contest, Sat-urday, July 19.
