Pine to PalmCouncil endorses honoring Highway 69 as Jefferson Highway Heritage BywayBy AMY HANSEN OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

You might ask, what’s the Jeffer-son Highway? In Clarke County, it’s known as Highway 69.

“We’re putting our support behind the effort to designate the Jefferson Highway as a heritage byway,” said Ty Wheeler, city administrator/clerk, during a Jan. 6 Osceola City Council meeting.

Historic significanceOne hundred years ago, the Jeffer-

son Highway was envisioned as the “north-south equivalent” to the Lin-coln Highway, which was the first east-west transcontinental route.

In Iowa, the old Lincoln Highway is known as Highway 30.

The proposed highway would also commemorate the Louisiana Purchase and honor the president who was re-sponsible for America’s westward ex-pansion.

Construction on the highway began in 1916 with the route running through Manitoba, Canada, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. A later route variant added Arkansas.

By 1926, the Jefferson Highway’s

identity fell into the fate of the num-ber system. The highway evolved into many federal highways: U.S. High-ways 2, 10, 65, 66, 69, 71, 73 and 80. In-terstate 35 also makes up a good por-tion of the former Jefferson Highway.

Heritage bywayStarting with the Jefferson High-

way Association Centennial this year, there is a push to commemorate the 2,300 mile route from Canada to New Orleans, La.

An application is in process to iden-tify the old Jefferson Highway, which is also nicknamed the “Pine to Palm Highway,” as an official Iowa Heri-tage Byway. The designation will ac-knowledge the historical significance to the early days of transportation de-velopment and to mark the route.

Upon designation, the Iowa Depart-ment of Transportation (DOT) will lead an effort to place Iowa Byway signs specific to the route and provide initial costs for development and in-stallation of the signs.

Once initially installed, the DOT will maintain or replace the signs along state route sections. Cities and counties along the route will maintain or replace signs on sections within their jurisdiction.

Pine to Palm signage would be placed along the road in Clarke Coun-ty near the DOT.

Road conditionHowever, during the council meet-

ing, there was a concern about honor-ing a historic highway that needs bet-ter repair work.

“That’s a disgrace, as far as I’m con-cerned, to call that a heritage high-way and leave it in the condition the shoulders are,” said Councilman Dan Hooper. “You know, that’s pathetic to even think about bringing tourists and visitors down through there and saying this is our Highway 69 heritage highway.”

There was a murmur from another councilman, “It isn’t what it used to be.”

“Maybe this designation will help secure more resources for the re-construction of the highway itself,” Wheeler added.

At the end of the discussion, the council did unanimously approve the resolution to endorse the application to the DOT for the designation of the Jefferson Heritage Byway as a State Heritage Byway.

“We’re really just saying we support the effort,” Wheeler said.

How to keep pets safe in the winterBy AMY HANSEN OST news editor • ahan-sen@osceolaiowa.com

If you’re cold in the win-ter’s frigid weather, imag-ine how your furry friends Fluffy and Fido must feel. If a pet is like a family mem-ber, the animal should be treated as such, especially when the temperatures dras-tically drop below zero.

“Really, in all honesty, what we do here at the shel-ter — and this is why we close on colder days — if it’s not safe for people to be out, it’s not safe for pets to be out,” said Joy Durham, Clarke County Animal Shel-ter manager.

Safety tipsDurham recommended

many tips for keeping ani-mals safe in the cold, includ-ing increasing the amount of food because pets’ metabo-lism burns through the food, checking water frequently because it freezes and mak-ing sure hay, straw and blan-kets are dry for warmth.

“Once it gets wet, it’ll freeze and the dog or cats fur can actually freeze, too,” she said.

Durham said to bring ani-

mals inside into the heat, or even into a garage that gets the pets out of the wind. A dog house can help an ani-mal, but what will help the most is being out of the cold completely.

She also recommended in-vesting in a wire kennel and heated water bowls.

When it comes to cows and livestock, Durham said it’s important to have sheds or lean-tos.

When outsideHowever, pets like dogs

can’t stay indoors all day, they need to be let out to use the bathroom or go for a short walk.

Pets’ paws should also be checked a lot because the

Branstad designates Jan. 18-24 as Hazardous Materials Awareness Week

DES MOINES – Gov. Terry Branstad has desig-nated the week of Jan. 18-24 as Hazardous Materials Awareness Week in Iowa.

This year marks the fourth year that the Iowa Depart-ment of Homeland Security and Emergency Manage-ment (HSEMD) and the Iowa Emergency Response Commission (IERC) will recognize the third full week in January as Hazardous Materials Awareness Week.

The goal of the week is to provide Iowans a better un-derstanding about hazard-ous materials, their proper use, storage, disposal and the emergency response ac-tions that can help minimize unnecessary accidents and exposure.

Nearly all households and businesses use products that contain hazardous materi-als, and hazardous materi-als are transported on our roadways, railways and wa-terways daily. Knowing how to handle such products and how to react during an emer-gency can reduce the risk of illness, injury or death.

Household hazardous ma-terials

Household hazardous ma-terials (HHMs) are found in most of our homes. These products are either toxic, flammable, corrosive, re-active, or a combination of these properties. HHMs have warning labels that contain the following words: Caution, Danger, Poison, or Warning.

• Toxic products are poi-sonous or cause illness. Ex-amples are household clean-ers, paint thinner, pesticides and medication (in certain amounts or for certain peo-ple).

• Flammable products ignite or burn easily. Ex-amples include paint, paint

thinner, and many automo-tive products.

• Corrosive products can eat through other materials. Examples are acid, automo-tive batteries, and oven, toi-let bowl and drain cleaners.

• Reactive products can create poisonous vapors when mixed with other products. Some can explode when exposed to heat, air or water, or when shaken.

Some things you can do to ensure your family’s safety:

• Store all household products according to the in-structions on the label.

• Keep chemicals and medication out of reach of children.

• Never mix household chemicals together.

• Read the instructions on how to dispose of chemicals properly. If possible, recycle or reuse leftover hazardous materials.

• Put the number of the Iowa Poison Control center by the telephone, and save it in your mobile phone: 1-800-222-1222 (Voice/TTY).

• Hazardous materials can be found outside our homes as well – whether it be in commercial or institution-al facilities, or being trans-ported on our roadways, railways or waterways. If you or your family are in the vicinity of an accident that involves hazardous materi-als, call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not walk into or touch any spilled substances, and follow the instructions of lo-cal authorities. Move away from the scene and keep others away as well.

Brochures and fact sheets about hazardous materi-als safety are available for download on the Ready Iowa website. Additional information can be found on the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ website.

Four lane Highway 34 to be explored

The Southwest Iowa Co-alition (SWICO) will hold its annual meeting 6 p.m. Jan. 15, at the Red Coach Inn and Restaurant in Red Oak, located at 1200 Sen-ate Ave. Troy Jerman, PE, district engineer, Depart-ment of Transportation will be joined by Larry Winum, president, Glenwood state bank and SWICO Infra-structure Committee, co-chair. They will lead a dis-cussion about the steps to take in preparation for the expansion of US Highway 34.

It is thought members see a huge benefit to residents and commercial trade by ex-panding Highway 34 to four lanes from Highway 275 in Mills County to the Inter-state 35 interchange outside at Osceola. Residents and professionals working in the area can decrease their com-mute times. Business and In-dustry often require access to four-lane transportation infrastructure. It is believed that the commercial devel-opment which will occur on the Iowa and Nebraska side of the new Highway 34 bridge will inevitably raise the traffic count to justify the expansion of lanes on Highway 34.

Jerman and Winum will talk through some of the ear-ly steps that can be taken to work with the Department of Transportation’s admin-istration and commission to

insure this issue continues to be monitored, and when the time is right, becomes part of the IDOT’s five year plan.

“We realize, like the bridge, this is a longer term project that will be driven by increased traffic counts but we want to begin planning for that expansion,” said Winum, who provided the on-going, lead coordination for the bridge project.

pads will get raw and cut open. When dogs run on ice, their paw pads can easily be cut. Dirt and rocks in the ice can also hurt and be danger-ous.

On Wednesday, Jan. 7, when temperatures were dangerously cold and schools had cancelled, ani-mals at the shelter were tak-en outside for three to five minutes at a time.

Durham said even the big dogs like German shepherds were not used to being out in the bitter elements with winds, no cover and blowing snow.

Durham’s American, En-glish and French bulldogs are the first of her animals to get cold while outside and want to come back into the heat.

“The worst part is people think that pit bulls and some or your bigger dogs, they are the easiest to freeze to death because they have absolute-ly no body fat,” she said. “If you look at a pit bull, it’s all muscle. Muscle does not generate body heat.”

Wind chillAs the winter months con-

tinue and the temperatures slowly rise above zero, peo-ple should know, if the tem-perature is hovering around 25 to 30 degrees, the wind chill can still dip below zero on the slightly warmer days. Those wind chills can dan-gerously cut through a dog or cat’s fur.

“They don’t have a coat to put on to block out any of it,” Durham said. “If you can, bring them in … the wind is just as bad as the chilling temperatures.”

PET SAFETY:

What you can do to keep your pets happy, healthy

Here are more pet safety tips from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa:

1. Keep indoor cats inside. Cats can get lost in wintery weather and become injured or worse. They also have a higher risk of exposure to diseases including rabies from other animals they may encounter. If there are cats outdoors, provide them with a warm place to sleep, access to unfrozen water and nutritious food.

2. Dogs that are let off-leash during the winter, es-pecially during a snowstorm, have a higher chance of be-coming lost. Make sure your dog is wearing ID tags and has been microchipped to increase the chances of be-ing reunited with you if he becomes lost.

3. Check twice before starting your car. Outdoor cats often climb under the hoods of cars to keep warm. When the motor starts, the cat may be injured or killed by the fan belt. Knock or bang loudly on the hood of your car before starting it to give cats a chance to escape.

4. Never leave your cat or dog in a vehicle in cold weather. The vehicle acts as a refrigerator, keeping the cold in and causing the ani-mal to freeze.

5. Antifreeze may be good for your car but it is lethal for dogs and cats. Clean up any spills thoroughly and consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol.

6. Towel dry your dog’s paws, legs and stomach when he comes in out of winter weather. Chemical agents used to melt ice can be dangerous for your dog to ingest while licking his paws.

Snow and encrusted ice may also cause your dog’s paw pads to bleed.

7. Never shave your dog to the skin in the winter. Dogs need their coat to pro-vide warmth. When you give your dog a bath in the win-ter, be sure he is thoroughly dry before letting him out-side. For dogs with shorter coats, consider getting a coat or sweater that covers his body from the base of the tail to the belly. Keep pets’ fur mat free. Mats do not allow the pet’s coat to keep the animal warm.

8. Know how much cold your pet can tolerate. Pup-pies, small dogs and older dogs have a lower tolerance for cold temperatures. Let them outside only to relieve themselves, or you may choose to train him to use paper pads indoors.

9. If your dog is built for colder weather and enjoys playing in the cold, increase the amount of food he is given, especially extra pro-tein, to keep him and his fur healthy and in good shape.

10. Make sure your pet has a warm place to sleep, off the floor and away from drafts. A warm blanket or pet bed will be much appre-ciated by your companion! If you have an outside dog, consider bringing him in-side during these cold snaps. If your dog HAS to stay outside, make sure he has adequate shelter and fresh unfrozen water. Your dog’s shelter needs to keep him warm, with dry bedding and protection from the wind. Aging, undernourished pets with medical conditions should not be out in the cold even with a doghouse.

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

“My neighbor told me you people who bring the food come from that church down on the corner, but we know that church, and, well, number one – never knew they did that sort of thing, and number two – shhhhh! Better be qui-et about it if it is, because this place gets government grants, and you know how THEY are!”

The woman really was trying to be helpful, I think. We were in fact from “that church down on the corner.” For the past several months, we’d been providing a monthly roomful of free rummage, including many brand new items much needed by the residents of the low-income apartment complex.

In addition, we provided a plentiful evening meal and sent leftovers home with residents. We placed invitations to worship, as well as programs and activities of our congre-gation, in rummage shopping bags and on the food tables.

Later, as we were setting up the rummage tables, one of the apartment complex administrators came by and stopped one of our volunteers.

“We need to downplay the church thing. We don’t want to mess up any of our funding, so could you just not put anything out that talks about the church? That way, nobody will know the food and stuff is connected to the church.”

He didn’t even hesitate, “Don’t think that’ll work for us, ma’am. See, I don’t think our faith should be hidden. Jesus was out there in the open, even when they were plotting and planning to do him in. If we bring this food and these gifts, and minister with these great people here because we follow Him, then how can we hide the same kind of thing He did in the open? I mean, He didn’t hide from the gov-ernment when He healed people’s lives, did he?”

So began the challenge. In the open? Or not? Those who served in the church’s “Neighbor Care” team decided they would follow the “in the open” example of Jesus. They even researched and planned an alternate site just in case

the apartment complex asked them to leave.

As the residents gathered that evening for food and rum-mage, the woman who had approached me earlier in the afternoon found me again.

“You ARE from that church! I heard they tried to get you to hide all your church stuff. Don’t do it! I know for a fact that you guys are the only picture of a caring church that a lot of these people ever see, so please don’t hide the church stuff.”

We chose “in the open.” The seeds of faith and grace which were planted, nourished and grown through that ministry were truly amazing. The results of those planted seeds went places we’ll never know — but God surely does.

Jesus didn’t hide who He was. In fact, he raised His voice to be sure they heard!

He shouted, “Yes, you think you know me and where I’m from. I didn’t set myself up in business. My true origin is in the One who sent me, and you don’t know him at all. I come from him – that’s how I know him. He sent me here.” (John 7:28-29)

Then, upon being challenged once more by the governing powers (chief priests and Pharisees), He asserts His identity again, even more clearly (just in case it wasn’t clear enough the last time), “I will be with you a little while longer, and then I will return to the one who sent me. You will look for me, but you won’t find me. You cannot go where I am going.” (John 7:33-34)

It is so tempting, and sometimes seems so much easier, to hide our discipleship to Christ.

Yet, if we truly follow His example, we will seek oppor-tunities to act out our discipleship, wherever life takes us, in any and all situations we find ourselves in – like Him, in the open.

In the open

A resolution to make a difference Get organized. Pay

off debts. Stop smoking. These are all familiar New Year’s resolutions.

According to usa.gov, volunteerism also contin-ues to be on the minds of Americans. Last year, 62.6 million adults (25.4 per-cent) volunteered through an organization. That’s

nearly 7.7 billion hours with an estimated value of nearly $173 billion.

And for those striving for a healthy 2015, research has shown volunteering provides health benefits. Specifically in older adults, a sense of community in-clusion is gained through helping others. This results

in a boost in both their health and overall well-be-ing.

Offering companionship, baking, running errands, delivering equipment, and assisting with clerical du-ties and light housekeep-ing describe some of the opportunities available through HCI Hospice Care

Services for those looking to make good on their res-olutions.

For 37 years, volunteers with HCI Hospice Care Services have played an in-tegral role in enhancing the care provided to patients and their families.

Last year, HCI Hospice Care Services volunteers

provided 17,241 volunteer hours – a value of $388,784 to the organization and priceless to the patients and families served.

“We couldn’t function as an organization without the dedicated care volun-teers provide at all levels,” said Tray Wade, senior vice president of patient

and family care at HCI Hospice Care Services.

HCI Hospice Care Ser-vices seeks local volun-teers. No previous ex-perience is necessary to become a volunteer. To learn more, email volun-teer@hcicareservices.org or call Karen at 641-342-2888.

Volunteers needed for American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Clarke County

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is seeking volunteers in Clarke County – walkers, cancer survivors, caregiv-ers, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference – to organize and recruit fundraising teams, garner community support, coordinate logistics, seek re-freshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend a hand to ensure the success of the 2015 event.

Relay For Life is a truly unique experience which unites communities to fin-ish the fight against cancer. Volunteer support is crucial to the event and will help the American Cancer Soci-ety create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

The next volunteer com-mittee meeting will be held on 5:30 p.m. Jan. 17 at Clarke County Hospital administration building lo-cated across the street east from the hospital. The meet-ing will begin the planning process for the community’s Relay For Life event, which supports the mission of the American Cancer Society to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against the disease.

Relay For Life events are held from 6 p.m. to midnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic

track, park, or fairground, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundrais-ers at their camp sites at the event. Relay For Life brings together friends, fam-ilies, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups — people from all walks of life – all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost and fighting back against the disease. Clarke County Relay for Life will take place June 12 from 6 p.m. to midnight at Clarke County High School’s track.

“Relay For Life is all about our community unit-ing with the American Can-cer Society and supporting its efforts to finish the fight,” said Karen Irwin, event chair, “Volunteers and par-ticipants who are willing to give their time and energy to this exciting event are making a commitment to let Clarke county community members know that cancer can be defeated.”

If you would like to join the Relay For Life of Clarke County as a volunteer or team participant, call Kar-en at 641-572-0100, or visit RelayForLife.org or www.relayforlife.org/clarkecoun-tyia.

Clarke middle school students chosen for Simpson honor band

Seven eighth-grade stu-dents from Clarke Commu-nity Middle School will par-ticipate in the 26th Annual Simpson College Orpheus Honor Band Festival Tues-day, Jan. 20.

Band members were cho-sen not only based upon written recommendations from their band teachers, but also to provide prop-er instrumentation for two balanced honor bands of equal playing ability. Both of the honor bands are named for Simpson’s col-ors—the Red Band and the Gold Band.

Students from 46 differ-ent schools have been giv-en music to practice in ad-vance of the festival. On the day of the festival, all of the students will rehearse to-gether during the morning and afternoon as an ensem-ble for the first time. That evening, they will present a concert for the public. Each of the two honor bands has approximately 75 members a piece.

Kyle Haltom (bari sax player), Sammie Belden (French horn player), Cam-eron Johnson (trombone player), Taven Floyd (bari-

tone player) and Izzy Bud-denhagen (tuba player), were selected to perform with the Gold Honor Band.

Victoria Swartz (flute player) and Samuel Reyn-oldson (alto sax player) were chosen to perform with the Red Honor Band.

They are all students of Christie Averweg, Clarke Community Middle School band director.

The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a perfor-mance by some Simpson College instrumental en-sembles, followed by both of the middle school honor

bands. All of the perfor-mances will take place in Pote Theatre at the Blank Performing Arts Center on the campus of Simpson College in Indianola. The concert is free and open to the public.

Lamoni stuns Lady MustangsBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • svick-er@osceolaiowa.com

MURRAY — Lamo-ni ended the game with a 16-5 run here Friday to post a 47-40 win over Murray.

Trailing 29-24 late in the third quarter, Mur-ray senior Deena Snyder sparked an 11-2 run with a basket from the block. By the end of the run in the fourth quarter, Murray had built a 35-31 lead, as Snyder scored five points in the run.

But Lamoni seized mo-mentum and the win with its 16-5 run to end the game. Daryn Nowlin and Jennifer Eason led the charge for the Demons. Both Nowlin and Eason scored five points in the final five minutes of the game.

Murray started the game on a 10-0 run, but after the hot start, shots stopped falling for the Lady Mustangs.

Murray shot just 14-of-46 (30.4 percent) from the floor in the loss. Snyder scored 14 points to lead the Lady Mustangs. Jade

L e c y , Madison Gonseth and Za-die Hat-field each s c o r e d s i x p o i n t s . L e c y dished out seven assists and had five rebounds.

Alicia Alley-Baker led Lamoni with 13 points, while Eason scored 11. Senior Karli Smith left the game in the first half with a knee injury and did not return.

Murray fell to 7-2 for the season with the loss, while Lamoni improved to 7-4.

Mustangs pull away from LamoniBy SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • svick-er@osceolaiowa.com

MURRAY — The Mur-ray Mustangs saw an early lead evaporate, before pulling away from Lamoni again late in the third quarter of a 79-53 win on Friday.

Murray built up a 26-14 lead early in the game, as Trey McHenry scored on an up and under move late in the second quarter.

The Mustangs held a 29-21 lead at halftime after Tyler Whittom ended the half with a 3-pointer for Lamoni.

Murray had created turn-overs and forced contested shots thanks to its press de-fense in the first half.

But, early in the third quar-ter, Lamoni began executing against the press and quickly cut the Murray lead to 34-31 after a quick 6-0 run capped off by a Sergio Oviendo Cardenas basket with 4:48 left

in the quarter.“We was trying to press

them most of the game, be-cause last time we played them, we really caused a lot of fits with turnovers,” Murray head coach Darin Wookey said. “Tonight, we did well early, but then they got to handling it and getting deep on us, and we didn’t handle getting back and rotating like we were supposed to.”

During a timeout, Wookey called off the press and the Mustangs switched to a half-court defense.

Murray was able to clamp down on defense and slowly began inching away from the Demons.

Kenny Boles ended the third quarter with a driving basket, drawing a foul and sinking the free throw to give Murray a 49-37 lead.

Lamoni scored the first bas-ket of the third quarter, but Murray responded with a 9-0 run to take a 58-39 lead. Fish-

er Decker got a basket along the baseline and sank two free throws and then Boles made two free throws.

The run was capped off by a McHenry basket underneath and a free throw to complete the 3-point play.

Lamoni continued to foul and roll the ball to halfcourt on inbounds plays until 3:23 left in the game when both teams brought in the reserves.

Murray ended the game on a 14-5 run over the final 3:23 with the reserves in the game.

Boles led all scorers with 19 points, shooting 8-of-11 from the free throw line.

“We’re just kind of getting him back” Wookey said. “His stamina, from having mono, he’s still trying to work his way back into the lineup a lit-tle bit. He’s playing well. Only going to get better as he keeps playing. This is only about the fourth or fifth game he’s got to play.”

McHenry scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Mustangs. Jack Jones came up big with 14 points and eight rebounds, six of which were offensive boards. Jones also finished with five steals. Decker scored 11 points.

“We’ve been saying that all year — Jack Jones might be the best offensive rebounder we’ve ever had go through here,” Wookey said. “He finds a way. He’s got a knack for finding the ball and he did again tonight. He was big.”

Murray improved to 5-3 for the season with the win and 3-3 in Bluegrass Conference play. The Mustangs travel to Seymour tonight.

Wookey said it was nice to get a win in a rivalry game against Lamoni.

“It’s always been a rival-ry game,” he said. “They’re not the team they used to be. We’re not the team we used to be. But at the same time, it’s still a fun game to coach against (Ryan) Olson. I know he thinks the same thing about me. It’s always a com-petitive game it seems like. It was a competitive game there for awhile before we opened things up in the third and fourth quarter.”

Eighth-ranked Wolverines hold off hot-shooting Clarke

By SCOTT VICKEROST sports editor • svick-er@osceolaiowa.com

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley survived a barrage of 3-pointers from Clarke here Saturday to post a 68-56 victory.

In the process, NV head coach Darrell Burmeister improved to 2-0 against his former all-state cen-ter James Larson, current Clarke head coach.

After Nodaway Valley went on a 15-0 run to take a 15-2 lead over the visiting Indians, it was bombs away for Clarke.

The sharpshooting guard duo of sophomore Troy Morgan and senior Carlos Tamayo started knocking down shots for Clarke, and suddenly it was a ballgame.

Morgan got things going with a stepback 3-pointer and then knocked down another. Tamayo buried a 3-pointer from the c o r n e r on an in-b o u n d s play, forc-ing Bur-m e i s t e r to call his third tim-eout, less

than six minutes into the game.

Coming out of the time-out, Morgan dished to Ta-mayo for another 3-pointer to make the score 15-14. Jackson Lamb made two free throws, but Brandyne Olin answered with another 3-pointer for Clarke to tie the game at 17-17.

“We knew we could play like that, it was just a mat-ter of believing in ourselves and seeing if we could do it,” Larson said. “They knew I really wanted this one, ob-viously being from NV. I think they played a little bit harder. But now I’m hop-ing they realize how they can compete against better teams. Definitely one of the better games I’ve seen them play, that I’ve coached with them. I was very proud of them tonight.”

Nathan Andrews sank back-to-back 3-pointers, including a buzzer-beater to put Nodaway Valley up 23-17 after one quarter.

Trailing 25-17 early in the second quarter, Clarke went on another 3-point barrage.

Tamayo hit one from the top of the key and then Morgan buried a 3-pointer while drawing a foul, hit-ting the free throw. Morgan

knocked down two more 3-pointers to give Clarke a 30-27 lead midway through the second quarter.

“We didn’t have a lot of preparation coming into this because we concentrate one game at a time,” Bur-meister said. “The prepara-tion we did have, we start-ed out triangle-and-two on their two shooters.

“We had a man on Mor-gan and a man on Tamayo, and it didn’t seem like it made much difference. They were in the zone to-night and they moved the ball. They were knocking them down.”Momentum change

After the ninth 3-point-er of the half for Clarke put the Indians up 30-27, Nodaway Valley seized control with a 9-0 run going into halftime that gave the Wolverines a 36-30 lead.

Tanner Armstrong scored four of his 14 points in the spurt, while Andrews had a traditional 3-point play. Lamb scored a basket on a drive.

The Wolverine lead grew to 44-33 in the second half on an Andrews 3-pointer,

The Clarke boys team trailed by 88 pins after round one against Newton and fell into a big hole after being outscored 193-140 in the first Baker game. The Indians rebounded to with a 245-202 advantage in the second Baker game, but

the comeback hope was all but over after Newton out-scored the Indians 201-124 in the third Baker game.

Damon Helgevold led Clarke with a series of 416 after games of 222 and 194. He just missed the high score of the day, as New-ton’s Payton Cox recorded a series of 422.

Adam Smith bowled a 365 series for Clarke, while Garrett McFarland finished with a 341 series. Skylar Johnson rolled a 320 and Ethan Potter rounded out the team scoring with a series of 304. Brock Bucy finished with a 272.

LeeAnn Helgevold led the Clarke girls with a se-ries of 333 after games of 147 and 186. Courtney

Clark rolled a 300 and Bronwyn Miller finished with a score of 282. Alexxa Blair bowled a 271 series and Sara Andrew rounded out the team scoring with a series of 221. Keleah Sel-sor finished with a 206.

The Clarke girls JV team lost a close 1802-1729 match. Sydney Palmer led Clarke with a series of 271 and Kacie Shieler bowled a 269.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Continued from page 1B

but Clarke eventually cut it to 49-43 at the start of the fourth quarter on an Olin layup.

Lamb sank 3 of 4 free throws after a pair of Clarke technicals to make it a 57-45 lead, however. Clarke put together one last run at it, cutting the lead to 58-51 on a Gabe Crawford offensive rebound and putback.

“Gabe finally, I think he embraced his role today, just getting offensive re-bounds, being physical,” Larson said. “I mean, if we get this win, I’m calling Gabe MVP. He didn’t score all the points, but it’s that dirty work. Those kids don’t always get recognized. Gabe did a great job.”

But Nodaway Valley’s free throw shooting was too good down the stretch, as

the Wolverines pulled away for the 68-56 win.

Lamb shot 7-8 from the line in the final quarter, while David Schweitzer shot 3-4 from the free throw line and hit a 3-pointer.

Lamb led the Wolver-ines with 23 points, while three others reached dou-ble figures. Armstrong and Andrews each recorded 14 points, while Nate Vente-icher scored 11. Andrews recorded a double-double with 15 rebounds. Lamb dished seven assists and had three steals.

Surviving 12 3-pointers from Clarke was no easy task, Burmeister said.

“I think that’s probably a record against Nodaway Valley (for made 3-point-ers),” he said. “That’s 36 points out of their 56. You look at their statistics, al-most half of their shots are

3-pointers. Hats off to them. We didn’t have too bad of coverage on some of those shots and they were still go-ing in.”

For Larson, returning to the Nodaway Valley gym was an emotional night.

“Brings back a lot of old m e m o -ries,” he said. “I think my emotions got the best of me b e c a u s e we were here, it was NV and then I got that technical. I think because it was here, it brought back a lot of emotions, a lot of memories. It was fun.”

Clarke dropped to 1-8 for the season, while Class 1A eighth-ranked Nodaway Valley improved to 9-0.
