FATAL ROLLOVER

New Virginia man dies in rollover accidentBy AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]

A New Virginia man died in a roll-over accident 10:14 a.m. today.

According to an Iowa State Patrol report, James Eugene Shadden Jr., 22, of New Virginia, was driving a 2003 Jeep north on 240th Avenue, one-half

mile south of Highway 69. The acci-dent’s location is north of Osceola.

Shadden lost control of the vehicle, which entered the east ditch and came back onto the road. The vehicle rolled once and Shadden was ejected from the vehicle.

Shadden was not wearing his seat belt. He was the only occupant in the vehicle.

According to an Iowa State Patrol officer, speed was a factor in the one-vehicle accident.

Clarke County Fire Department, Clarke County Hospital, Osceola Po-lice Department and Iowa State Pa-trol responded to the accident.

An air ambulance from Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines also responded for Shadden’s injuries.

Barb Hellyer making ‘touch quilts’ for Homestead Assisted Living’s memory-care unit

By AMY HANSEN OST news editor • [email protected]

A simple touch can go a long way — even with a quilt.

Barb Hellyer, 83, a resi-dent at Homestead Assisted Living in Osceola, is mak-ing “touch quilts” for use in the assisted-living’s new memory-care unit, which is currently being built. The unit focuses on patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

“Touch,” or sensory

quilts, use squares of differ-ent fabrics throughout the quilts.

“The idea is that they (pa-tients) can rub their hands across this … and they get a different sense or feel, and they are so helpful in doing just that — in helping those who fidget,” Hellyer said.

The memory-care will have 12 patients and each will receive a “touch” quilt.

Osceola to have first-ever Zombie PromBy AMY HANSEN OST news editor • [email protected]

Ghosts and goblins and ghouls, oh my!

Osceola Chamber/Main Street is hosting a first-ever Zombie Prom 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at Osceo-la Eagles.

“It’s a Halloween dance party, costume contest,” said Derek Lumsden, ex-ecutive director of Osceola Chamber/Main Street.

Osceola Chamber/Main Street is hosting a Zombie Prom this year instead of a haunted house, which has been held many previous years.

“It’s another family-friendly, safe, Halloween-type event,” Lumsden said. “It’s not as dangerous as what a haunted house can be. People run and get scared and fall. This is fun for all ages.”

At the Zombie Prom, there will be Halloween-themed games, a dance

party and costume contests with prizes. There will be contests for family and indi-vidual costumes.

The event will cost $2 for children and $3 for adults. Adults must have a form of identification to drink alco-holic beverages.

Lumsden said one of the reasons the Zombie Prom is being held at Osceola Eagles is the venue has enough area to incorporate both “grown-up” and “kids-geared” ac-tivities.

“It’s just a way for people to get out and have fun,” he said.

So, what would make a good costume for a Zombie Prom?

Lumsden said, for fami-lies, try to think of costumes that would work well for people of different ages and sizes. For couples, think of famous couples or some-thing that comes in a pair.

“The best thing is to think outside the box,” Lumsden said.

Lumsden said he would like to see the Zombie Prom become an annual event.

“We’re going to try it for the next couple of years to see how it grows,” he said.

Election forum plannedAn election-candidate fo-

rum for candidates running for Osceola mayor and city council is scheduled 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, in the chorus room at Clarke Community High School.

Osceola Sentinel-Tribune is hosting the event.

These are the candidates running for mayor of Osceo-la — incumbent Fred Diehl,

Ron Eshelman and Steve Squier.

These are the candidates running for council member, 2nd Ward — incumbent Sar-ah Truitt and Dan Hooper.

Clarke, Murray commit to safe driving Students at Clarke and

Murray school districts are rallying community mem-bers to commit to safe driv-ing.

Insurance commissioner pens open letter regarding new health exchangeBy Rep. Joel FryHouse District 27 [email protected]

As Obamacare’s new insur-ance exchanges have come online on at the beginning of October, Iowa’s Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart penned an open letter to in-form the general public of some expected outcomes and key points for Iowans to con-sider when purchasing health insurance products.

The letter discusses some of the significant changes that are now required under the law.

These include “the elimina-tion of any consideration of a pre-existing condition for acceptance of an application for coverage, the removal of all annual and lifetime benefit maximums, the extension of coverage for children covered under a parent’s plan to age 26, and minimum essential benefit standards to be fol-lowed by all plans.”

All health plans offered must now conform to these minimum standards both for products purchased privately and for products purchased through the public health-in-surance exchange.

The letter explains the dif-ferent health plan levels that will be offered through the ex-change as Bronze (a plan with an actuarial value of 60 per-cent, meaning a person would be responsible or 40 percent of all covered benefits), Silver (70 percent), Gold (80 per-cent), and Platinum (90 per-cent).

Detail is also included re-lated to tax credits available to those that purchase a prod-uct on the insurance exchange with qualifying incomes. “In-dividuals from 100 percent of federal poverty level (FPL) up to 400 percent of federal pov-erty level ($11,490 — $45,960 for an individual and $23,550 — $94,200 for a family of four)

will qualify for tax credits.”Commissioner Gerhart

makes a special effort to point out key points that Iowans need to consider before pur-chasing a product through the insurance exchange. He notes:

• Make sure your physician is in the network of the plan you are purchasing. Some plans in the marketplace are narrow network plans and you may need to locate a new phy-sician if your current physician is not in the plan’s network.

• Make sure the drugs you need are covered if you re-quire certain drugs for ongo-ing treatment. A qualified health plan is only required to cover one drug from each United States Pharmacopeia (USP) category. Individuals will have a right to appeal to get medically necessary drugs covered.

• Understand the costs re-lated to your plan. Depending upon the plan you purchase, the amount you will be re-quired to pay for deductibles and coinsurance may vary.

•Understand that you will not qualify for a tax credit if you have access to affordable minimum essential coverage through your employer. Af-fordable coverage is defined as 9.5 percent of your house-hold income based upon the

single employee’s premium and coverage of 60 percent of your insurance costs.

• Tax credits are available only for plans purchased on the marketplace. You are not eligible for tax credits if you purchase insurance outside of the marketplace or if you con-tinue on the health insurance plan you have currently.

• Failure to obtain mini-mum essential coverage will subject you to a penalty based on a minimum flat rate or a percentage of your income, whichever is greater.

• Medicare coverage is not impacted by these changes. You must still enroll for Medi-care or supplemental insur-ance during the separate open enrollment held every year for those types of coverage.

• All plans certified by the division will be available on www.healthcare.gov on Oct. 1 and will meet the defi-nition of minimum essential coverage. The federal number to call for assistance is 800-318-2596.

• Be wary of fraud. There may be more opportunities for bad actors to steal identi-ties or promote non-existent or minimal coverage plans as qualified health plans meet-ing new health-plan standards. Use a licensed agent or broker or work with a navigator.

The opening of the ex-changes has been fraught with difficulties, with many en-countering problems receiving information and an inability to access the marketplace web-site, which is being managed by the federal government. New insurance products are set to become active as early as Jan. 1, 2014.

I continue to appreciate the opportunity to represent each of you in the Iowa House of Representatives. May you each have a blessed and safe harvest season.

Supporting Sarah TruittBy Carla MayOsceola

I am writing this letter in support of Sarah Truitt. I have known Sarah since she and her family moved to our community.

It is so wonderful to see a young woman who is a wife, mom and friend get involved any way she can to improve our community.

I know from being a fellow alumni of Clarke Development Leadership Academy that working to help run and better the city is very important.

Sarah has taken on this responsibil-

ity to run for office and be a council member. She has been in this position and is now running for re-election.

I support her for her strong charac-ter traits that make her a great wife, mother and friend. These traits also make her very caring for the city, and caring to do the best at her position to represent the city of Osceola, and to continue working at making the city a great place to live, work and visit.

I urge all readers to also support Sarah Truitt by casting your vote for her to represent Osceola and to regain her position as Osceola City Council member.

National Domestic Violence Awareness monthBy Janet KillkennyCrisis Intervention and Advocacy Center board member Clarke County

October is National Domestic Vio-lence Awareness month. Domestic abuse happens in this community.

We at Crisis Intervention and Ad-vocacy Center serve these victims and survivors every day.

While we often see and hear na-tional reports on the rates of do-mestic abuse, it is the faces of wom-en, men and children who are our friends, family or fellow students that cause us to see the true reality of the trauma domestic abuse causes.

While we receive many ideas about domestic abuse based on myths and victim blaming, we know the reality. Domestic abuse is wrong. No one asks to be abused. No one deserves to live in a home where they do not feel safe.

Instead of always putting the blame on the victims, we need to, as a com-munity, hold offenders accountable and support victims.

Victims and survivors of domestic abuse need resources, empowerment

and a strong support system to gain hope and independence.

We all have a responsibility in this. We can all help stop domestic abuse. Notice when somebody is being vic-timized in public and find a safe way to intervene.

Talk about domestic abuse. There are times when those closest to us are suffering and we don’t act for many reasons.

Don’t let domestic abuse be a “family issue” or “private matter.” As individuals, we have a lot of power. Let’s raise our standards to promote equality and respect in this community.

Our agency can answer your ques-tions, train you to intervene, educate you on the realities of abuse and train you to volunteer. Volunteering can make such a positive impact in some-one’s life.

Most of all, if you or somebody you know are suffering from domestic abuse, please call us.

Educate yourself. Help local vic-tims by supporting Crisis Interven-tion and Advocacy Center. The 24-hour crisis line is 1-800-400-4884.

Hellyer said people with Alzheim-er’s and dementia become emotion-ally attached to the touch quilts.

“It just gives them a different tex-ture as they run their hands across,” said Casey Spoelstra with Homestead Assisted Living. “It’s something they enjoy a lot of times. … It might trig-ger a memory of something.”

As for the new memory-care unit, Spoelstra said construction is ex-pected to be finished late this year or early 2014.

Helping outIf people want to help with the

quilting project, donations of differ-ent fabric, as well as flannel for the back of the quilts, are being accepted. One example of fabric on the quilts is a dish towel.

Spoelstra said quilting packages are also available for people to work on. For more information, call 641-342-1036 and ask for Spoelstra.

Hellyer said she has received help from other residents at Homestead Assisted Living and HCI Care Ser-vices of South-Central Iowa.

Spoelstra said there are plans for

assisted-living residents to have a sewing club on Thursdays to help with the quilts.

Between 12 and 15 quilts are cur-rently being worked on, and Hellyer said more are expected to be finished by the time construction on the new wing is completed. Once each pa-tient in the new unit has a “touch” quilt, the rest will be donated to other people affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Sewing proWhen asked about her history of

quilting and sewing, Hellyer said she has been doing it “since forever.”

“I grew up in a sewing-machine world,” she said.

Hellyer has written five books on sewing and given lectures on the subject. One book is called “Sewing Magic” and another is “Tailoring Magic.”

“I think it’s really important we help those who need something in the ‘touchy-feely,’ and, particularly, in dementia or Alzheimer’s (area),” Hellyer said. “They need something that’s theirs — that they can feel dif-ferent things.”

5OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • OCTOBER 17, 2013NEWS Third-grade field day a success

Wednesday, Sept. 18, marked the fifth-annual third-grade field day for all the third-graders in Clarke County.

Five classes from Clarke Community Elementary School and one class from Murray Community School District arrived on buses 10 a.m. at Clarke County Fair-grounds.

They unloaded into the show arena to organize and get ready for an educational Ag-learning day.

Seven learning stations were set up for classes to circulate to approximately every 20 minutes.

The stations included pre-senters from Agriland FS on growing corn and soybeans; Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatchery on turkeys; Farm-ers Coop on animal nutri-

tion; Clarke County Conser-vation/Osceola FFA on soil erosion; Jack VanLaar from Decatur County Extension on using a GPS; Murray FFA on farm equipment safety and Jennifer Pollard with Clarke County Exten-sion/Clarke County Cattle-men on animal safety and uses of animal by products.

Every station had visual, audio and hands-on learning opportunities.

Several volunteers from Clarke County Farm Bu-reau Board helped set up by unloading green, small square hay bales donated by Brian Eddy. They set them in a semi-circle at each sta-tion for the students to sit on.

After visiting the seven stations, the students, teach-ers, chaperones, presenters

and bus drivers were treated to hamburgers grilled by the Jeff Pollard and Joe Miller with the Clarke County Cat-tlemen, carrots, apples from Osceola Hy-Vee and cook-ies from Subway. Board vol-unteers served the food.

Randy and Tammy Bar-nard did a lot of the plan-ning and organizing. Warren Keeler, Bart Griffith, Kelly Curnes, John Carson, Har-old Fuller, Tim Prunty and Leola Boyce did volunteer work in setting up, serving and cleaning up.

Walmart gave a monetary donation. Clarke County Fair Board allowed the stu-dents to use the facilities. The third-grade teachers were Sue Body, Fran Chris-tian, Gina Sickels, Rebecca Evans, Jennifer Swartz and Connie Flaherty.

Clarke third-grade students pet Bell the cow with the help of Harold Fuller, right.

A new meaning for the school ‘Bell’ Jennifer Pollard with

Clarke County Extension and Clarke County Cattle-men had live animals at her station during Clarke’s third-grade field day.

Bell the cow was there for her third visit with the third-graders. Pollard dis-cussed many of the uses of cows by having a ques-tion-and-answer game about animal by-products used in everyday items.

The students learned cow hooves are an ingre-dient in gelatin and glue, animal fats are used in many facial make-ups and their favorite ball glove and baseball are made with animal hides.

Pollard showed pic-tures of several breeds of cattle showing them a dif-ference in their appear-ance and what each breed is most desired for.

At the end of each ses-sion, the students got in line to pet Bell the cow and the small bucket-fed

calf that came to the field day.

For several of the stu-dents, it was the first time they were close to a farm animal. Bell was supplied

by Clarke County Farm Bureau Board Member Harold Fuller and the bucket calf came from the Randy Barnard family farm.

Contributed photoSabrina Buckingham, left, with Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatchery, shows baby turkeys to a student in Mrs. Swartz’s third-grade class.

Baby turkeys visit third-graders during field day This year at the annual

third-grade field day, the students met Kelli Rice, Sabrina Buckingham and Jaime Shaw, who were representing the Valley of the Moon Turkey Hatch-ery, the world’s largest turkey hatchery, which is in Osceola.

The women brought in-

formation about turkeys, including baby turkeys for the students to get an op-portunity to touch. They explained how eggs are candled to see if they are fertile and showed pic-tures of the egg turkeys hatch from.

The students learned baby turkeys are called

poults and have four toes on each foot, but many turkey growers want the dew claw removed, as well as the snood which is done by microwave machine.

A newly-hatched turkey can survive for 72 hours without food or water, and it normally takes 28 days for a fertile turkey egg to

hatch. Valley of the Moon has shipped baby turkeys to Equador and Canada, as well as many places in the United States.

Clarke County Farm Bureau appreciates the time Valley of the Moon spent helping make the third-grade field day a success.

Flu circulating in Iowa, flu shots recommended Iowa Department of Pub-

lic Health (IDPH) urges all Iowans over 6 months of age to receive their yearly sea-sonal influenza vaccine.

Surveillance by IDPH influenza sentinel sites and confirmatory testing by the State Hygienic Laboratory shows the flu is circulating in Iowa. Three cases of season-al influenza have been iden-tified in eastern and central Iowa in the last two months; all were type A – the strain that can cause more serious illness. All the individuals are recovering and were not hospitalized.

“It’s important to note that influenza is not a ‘re-portable disease’ in Iowa,” said IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “This means health care providers are not required to notify IDPH each time a patient

tests positive for influenza; thus there are probably a lot more people with the flu out in our communities.”

Influenza surveillance also gives an indication of the types of influenza virus-es circulating, how sick peo-ple are getting with the flu, where outbreaks are occur-ring, and how widespread influenza illness is.

Vaccination is the best defense against influenza, but personal actions also help prevent the spread of illness. Remember the 3Cs:•Cover your coughs and sneezes• Clean your hands frequently• Contain germs by staying home when ill

The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness,

cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches. Illness typically lasts two to seven days. Influenza may cause severe illness or even death in people such as the very young or very old, or those who have underlying health conditions.

IDPH conducts year-round influenza surveillance through the Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network, and

posts a flu report weekly. For more information about where and what kind of influ-enza is in Iowa, go to www.idph.state.ia.us/Cade/Influ-enza.aspx?pg=FluHome.

Contact your health care provider or local health de-partment to find out where the vaccine is available in your community or use the Flu Vaccine Finder at www.flu.gov/.

It seems every week brings a new, horrific attack against Christians overseas.

Having lived overseas for several years, I cannot help but feel for our Christian brothers and sisters worldwide.

On Sept. 22, suicide bombers connected to the Pakistani Taliban entered All Souls Anglican Church in Peshawar during services. The resulting explosion killed 78 men, women and children. It was only the most recent attack on Pakistani Christians, who make up just two percent of the country’s population.

Apparently, even that tiny percentage is too high for some there. What’s happening in Pakistan is, in turn, part of a larger global pattern. Christians around the world are often “harassed, arrested, jailed, tortured, raped, beaten, and killed.”

Christian “churches and homes are bombed or burned to the ground.” Children are even “taken from their Christian parents lest they become too tainted with faith in Jesus.”

Yet, the vast majority of Americans, and American Chris-tians, would be surprised to hear we’re living in what’s been called “the age of martyrs.” What’s hard to understand is the “deafening silence” on this issue, especially from Amer-ican Christians.

Christians in the Middle East and Africa are being slaugh-tered, tortured, raped, kidnapped, beheaded and forced to flee the birthplace of Christianity. One would think this horror might be consuming the pulpits and pews of Ameri-can churches. But, it is not.

In addition to the Peshawar attack, the recent attack in Nairobi, in which, according to eyewitnesses, the gunmen said “if you are Muslim you are on the safer side, but if you are Hindu or Christian you will be killed.”

There is an ominous Jihadist slogan that goes like this: “First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday.” It means “On Saturday we kill the Jews; on Sunday we kill the Christians.”

This is the world in which millions of Christians live. Now the good news is there’s evidence of a growing appreci-ation for our brethren’s plight. For instance, many American Christians opposed interven-tion in Syria out of concern for the possible impact on Syrian Christians.

The better news is that if we insist on keeping the issue of the persecuted church on the front burner, it can yield results.

A case in point is a recent phone call between President Obama and Iran’s new president Hassan Rouhani. During the call, the President expressed his concern over the jailing of Iranian-American pastor Saeed Abedini.

Abedini’s incarceration has been the subject of an inter-national campaign to draw attention to his plight and secure his release. Abedini’s wife rightly called Obama’s raising of the issue an “answer to prayer.” It’s also a response to con-certed efforts to ensure that her husband is not forgotten.

This is the kind of effort we must make on behalf of all our persecuted brethren. As Hebrews13 tells us, we are to remember “those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.”

That’s one reason we must be concerned about preserv-ing religious liberty here in America. While we’re not at the point of shedding blood, Christians in this country are under enormous pressure — from government, from activ-ist groups like the ACLU, and increasingly, from a judge’s bench — to compromise our faith. And, if the freedom to speak out is lost here, who will be left to advocate on behalf of our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world?

Do you appreciate the religious freedom our country has enjoyed for over two centuries? Then use it! Attend church this weekend.

The war on Christians

Farmers’ Market Appreciation Day held, final farmers’ market approaching

On Saturday, Sept. 28, Osceola Farmers Market participated in a scheduled customer-appreciation day with music by Bruce Harris and a sign-up for a free bas-ket of goodies donated by the vendors.

Because of the weather, Harris chose to not ex-pose his instruments to the

weather and promised to come back a different time. There are tables with many kinds of produce – toma-toes, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, potatoes, apples, honey, herbs, crafts and baked products of all kinds.

Sherry Coyle of Osceola was the name was drawn Saturday, Sept. 28, to re-

ceive the customer-appreci-ation basket.

Summer ending and fall is bringing lots of nature’s color. Also, Christmas is right around the corner, and the regular farmers’ market that is open until Oct. 19 is a place to begin Christmas shopping.

On Nov. 9 and 23, and

again on Dec. 7 and 14, the public is invited to the indoor market at Osceola Senior Center to see what there is for Christmas gifts. The indoor market will be held from 9 a.m. to noon. Clarke County Farmers’ Market has a facebook that people may get on and fol-low the market news.

1SOSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE THURSDAY • OCTOBER 17, 2013SPORTSTurnovers sink Cardinals in loss to Mount AyrBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]

LEON — Seven turn-overs sunk Central Deca-tur’s chances of hanging with a state-ranked Mount Ayr team here on Friday, as the Cardinals fell 34-13.

Central Decatur drops to 4-3 overall and 1-3 in Class 1A District 7, mak-ing the team’s final two games of the season “must win” games in order to make the playoffs. Mount Ayr, ranked ninth by the Des Moines Register, im-proves to 6-1 and 3-1.

Mount Ayr picked off Central Decatur quarter-back Peyton Pedersen five times in the game and also recovered two Central De-catur fumbles.

“We knew we couldn’t give up big plays, knew we had to make them drive the whole field and knew we couldn’t commit turn-overs,” Central Decatur head coach Jon Pedersen said. “We gave up several big plays and had seven turnovers. That’s the game.”

Mount Ayr senior Erik Freed finished with three interceptions, while soph-omore Kyle Dolecheck had two interceptions.

Those seven turnovers resulted in Mount Ayr working with a short field for much of the night.

“They had a short field the whole night,” coach Pedersen said. “Field po-sition game, they killed us all night. We were able to get a couple of big passes, but if we’re going to beat Mount Ayr, that’s not go-ing to be the formula that gets it done.”

Trailing 21-0 in the second quarter, Peyton Pedersen connected with Kyle Palmer for a 52-yard touchdown with 9:34 to go in the half.

But, Mount Ayr an-swered back with a big passing play of its own for a touchdown, as Jacob So-botka hit Dolecheck for a 59-yard score with 3:28 re-maining, making it 27-7.

“In the first half, they did what they wanted,” coach Pedersen said. “We made some adjustments at halftime and shut their run game down and felt good about where we were at, but we were already in too big of a hole.”

Dolecheck scored an-other touchdown to open scoring in the third quar-ter, as he caught a 27-yard pass from Jacob Taylor with 5:34 left, making the score 34-7.

Pedersen hit Tren-ton Wells on a slant play and Wells took the ball 50-yards for a score with 3:56 left in the game to make the final score 34-13.

“We had some big plays with that (passing game), but we also missed some big plays with that,” coach Pedersen said. “Same thing with our run game. We saw some places, we just didn’t take advantage of them. On film you see it. We’ve got to be more consistent.”

“They’ve got some nice athletes,” Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Show-alter said. “They’re able to hurt you with their passing game. Trenton Wells is an outstanding athlete, a great receiver.

“The other one that re-ally stands out for them

is Peyton Gilbert,” Show-alter continued. “Not a real big kid, but definitely a tough football player. Pound for pound, he’s as good as anybody we’ve seen.”

Wells finished the game with seven receptions for

133 yards and one touch-down. He also picked up 15 rushing yards on seven carries.

Pedersen finished the game 11-of-27 passing for 226 yards and two scores with five interceptions.

Gilbert, meanwhile,

rushed the ball five times for 16 yards, and was all over the field on defense, racking up a total of 13 tackles.

“I thought Peyton Gil-bert played hard, it just comes down to blocking and tackling, and we didn’t

block very well and didn’t get big defensive tackles,” coach Pedersen said.

Even with the loss, though, Central Decatur still has a chance to make

MURRAY — Their re-spective records wouldn’t in-dicate a competitive situation, but 3-19 Mount Ayr put up a fight as state-ranked Murray (16-1) got past the Raider-ettes on Oct. 7, 26-24, 25-27, 25-13, 25-21.

The Raiderettes are

coached by Tori Braby, daughter of Murray coach Jerry Shields.

“We gave Murray a run for their money,” Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby said. “We left everything on the floor and I was very proud of the effort our girls gave the entire game. I was coaching against my dad, so any trick he has ever taught me, we threw at them to throw off Murray’s game.”

Braby said a crucial substi-tution error when the score was 24-22 in the first game changed the score to 23-23, and Murray went on to win 26-24.

“We knew it was important to make Murray scramble on every opportunity and I think we did a good job of that,” Braby said. “In the end, Mur-ray came out on top.”

Paige Daughton played an outstanding match for Mount Ayr with 19 kills, two blocks, 17-17 serving, 10 digs and 23-35 serve receive.

Kelcie Shields had seven kills and nine blocks. Brook Rychnovsky had a team-high 12 digs. Blair Glendenning served 12-13 with two aces, Macy Larsen served 16-18 with 13 assists and Allie Shields served 14-14. Hannah Glendenning had 12 setting assists.

“ W e l o o k e d like we hadn’t played for one week,” coach Shields said. “But give Mount Ayr, they came ready to play. They played very scrappy tonight.”

MURRAY — Murray stayed in contention for sec-ond place in Eight-Man Dis-trict 6 with a 51-18 victory over Colo-Nesco to close out the home portion of the regu-lar season Friday.

Murray improved to 6-2 overall and 4-1 in district play, while Colo-Nesco fell to 2-6 and 2-4.

It was the final regular sea-

son appearance at Mustang Field for seniors Cole Weir, Tyler Cashman, Collin Titus, Alex Shaw, Sam Rockhold, Andrew Rider, George Bar-ber and manager Dakota Matlage.

Rider surpassed 1,000 yards rushing in a season for the sec-ond time in his career. He had 1,072 yards as a sophomore and 851 last year when his season was cut short by injury.

Rider rushed for 169 yards and four touchdowns on 14 carries. Seth Nerness carried 10 times for 82 yards and two TDs. Rockhold opened the scoring with a 40-yard run.

“It wasn’t our sharpest game of the year, but we ran the ball well and the victory kept us in position to capture second place in the district,” said coach Keith Shields.

Thane Simmons mixed in 64 yards passing on 6-of-11 with no interceptions.

Leading the defensive charge was Barber with 14 to-tal tackles, including seven for losses and a quarterback sack. Nerness had two tackles for losses with a fumble recovery, and Rockhold had nine tack-les with an interception.

“Other than one long run in the first quarter, our defense did a great job of stopping the Colo-Nesco offense in the first half,” Shields said. “They had one 58-yard run, but only had 54 yards of offense on 25 plays the rest of the half. Our run defense played well in the second half, giving up 38 yards on 21 carries.”

The Mustangs play at East Union (2-6, 1-4) this week.

Clarke falls to PCM By SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • [email protected]

Clarke head football coach Michael Kline told his players before the game that if they could stop the run, they’d find themselves in the football game against PCM, Monroe here on Friday.

But, the Indians couldn’t stop the PCM ground at-tack, as the Mustangs rushed for 325 yards and picked up a 48-7 win over Clarke.

Clarke also had to deal with the injury bug in the game, as senior quarterback and safety Dalton Sweeney played just the first 15 min-utes of the game before div-ing for a pass and leaving the game with a shoulder injury.

Junior Morales, who has missed the past four games with a shoulder injury, re-injured the shoulder in the game. Junior Gordon Witt, one of the leaders of the Clarke defense, dealt with stomach pains and did not play in the second half of the game.

Sophomore Rich Wilkins moved into the quarterback position after Sweeney’s exit, and finished the game 4-of-14 passing for 58 yards and one touchdown. He threw three interceptions.

“With Dalton hurt, Rich played quarterback and did a pretty good job of com-manding the team, other than his three turnovers,” Kline said. “If he takes care of the ball better, he will be

a good quarterback.”Sweeney led the Indians

in rushing with 29 yards, while Wilkins added 22 and Dustan Van Loon picked up 21 yards. Van Loon also caught a pass for 8 yards, scoring the lone Indian touchdown.

Gable Reece had one reception for 28 yards and Junior Morales caught one pass for 16 yards.

Defensively, Gunner Ser-geant-Elben intercepted one pass, while Van Loon led the team with seven tackles. Witt finished with six tack-les before leaving the game. Connor Spencer had one solo tackle for a loss.

Clarke returns to action Friday at Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

the playoffs out of District 7.

The Cardinals finish the regular season with road games at Des Moines Christian (Urbandale) on Friday at at Ogden next week.

If Central Decatur wins both games, it moves to 3-3

in the district, and would have a chance to finish third in the district.

It’s simple for the Car-dinals moving forward — win both games and they’re in, lose one game and they’re out.

“If you would have told us at the beginning of the year we had a chance to be 6-3 and get third in the dis-

trict, I’d have took that,” coach Pedersen said.

Des Moines Christian will finish its season with a home game against the top team in the district — Van Meter — following its game against Central Decatur. Ogden travels to Mount Ayr this week be-fore hosting Central De-catur.

CARDINALS:
