Braley, Ernst clash in first Senate debate INDIANOLA (AP) — The candidates in one of the closest Senate races in the nation faced off in a testy first debate in Iowa Sunday night, with Democrat Bruce Braley and Republican Joni Ernst seeking to distinguish themselves on live television.

Before a crowd of 300 people at Simpson College in Indianola, Braley, a four-term congressman from Waterloo, repeatedly accused Ernst of being too conservative and tried to tie her to the

billionaire Koch brothers. Ernst, a state senator and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard from Red Oak, aggressively pushed back, saying Braley was part of a failed Congress and had lost touch with his Iowa roots “I believe Washington is taking our country in the wrong direction and for the past eight years, Congressman Braley has been there,” Ernst, 44, said during her opening remarks.

In his initial statement, Braley,

Braley

Ernst

56, said: “This election is about a clear choice between moving Iowa forward or following a radical Tea Party agenda that’s going

to take us backwards.”

Iowa is one of the year’s most competitive Senate races. Republicans must gain six seats to win the Senate majority. The seat is open because longtime Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin is retiring, and Republicans want to flip it in the Nov. 4 election. Millions of dollars have poured into the race, with heavy advertising spending by the candidates and outside groups.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Bacteria that could lead to infections have been found at the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Hospital, but officials have not informed patients about the problem.

The Des Moines Register reports the VA is planning to spend $6.5 million to address the legionella bacteria that has been found in the hospital’s water pipes.

Vietnam War veteran Dick Allison, who used to work at the hospital, says he’s upset administrators aren’t being upfront with the public about the bacteria.

“I’m not looking to blame anybody, and I don’t want to hurt the VA. They’ve saved my life a couple of times,” he said. “I really think they’re making an effort to fix this. I only fault them for not telling people about it.”

Allison said the fact that officials seem to be concealing this bacteria makes it hard to trust them.

Legionella bacteria are common germs that are often found in water pipes, especially in large, older buildings.

The bacteria can cause a dangerous form of pneumonia,

verybody has a favorite song where they stop everything they’re doing and listen to it play.

You know the one, it has a beat and melody that just wants to make you get on your feet.

For Lester and Mary Ann Smith of Osceola, their song is “Fisherman’s Luck.” However, when that song comes on, they square dance to it. The song has a slow start, but picks up as it goes along.

“We never want to miss that dance whenever they (play it).

Because you hear the start of the music,” Lester said.

“The beat,” Mary Ann added.

“And, you say, oh my, that’s going to be ‘Fisherman’s Luck,’” Lester said.

The Smiths have been square dancing for 35 years. They originally started in Washington state.

“And, we’re still at it,” Mary Ann said.

The Smiths took required lessons for the basic steps and moved up to the next plus level.

The square is a group of eight people and they synchronize their dance to what the caller is telling them to do.

“If we know the caller, we love to mess him up,” Mary Ann while laughing.

Des Moines Register shows Ernst with support from 44 percent of likely voters, compared to 38 percent for Braley. The survey of 546 likely voters, conducted by Selzer & Co., had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points. Previous polls have shown the candidates closely matched.

Braley and Ernst clashed on issues such as jobs, health care,

Iowa teen dies 2 days after fight at school COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — A western Iowa teenager who suffered a head injury in a fight at school last week has died, and prosecutors are considering filing additional charges against the other teen involved.

Dakota Escritt, 17, died Saturday at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, two days after he was knocked unconscious when his head hit

the tile floor during a fight at Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs.

Authorities charged a 16-yearold boy with assault after the fight, but could add more charges.

The Pottawattamie County Attorney will review the circumstances surrounding Escritt’s death on Monday, The Daily Nonpareil reported.

Kyle Gay, who works at the Council Bluffs YMCA, said Escritt hung out with friends at the YMCA and helped organize teen nights and lock-in events.

Gay said that Escritt sometimes had anger problems because he was picked on, but he was a good kid.

On Nov. 23, 1974, Cheryl married her husband Mark.

In 1976, Mark and Cheryl bought the “home place,” where they raised row crops, cattle and hogs.

environmental policies and abortion, but mainly stuck to established talking points. Both touted their records and sought to tie the other to special interest groups.

During a discussion on national security, Ernst criticized Braley for his absence at House Veterans Affairs committee meetings in 2011 and 2012. Braley said he had reasons for those absences, including attending a military memorial event.

The two disagreed on health care. Braley said President Barack

music,” Mary said.

The Smiths travel all over the state to dance, but their main club is in Creston.

For the Smiths, square dancing isn’t a competition, it’s purely entertainment for them.

Square dancers in the Creston club dance the first and third Friday of the month in the basement of the Methodist church in Creston. Dancers and visitors are always welcome.

Getting the word out Right now, a main focus for the Smiths’ is getting the word out about square dancing and that it’s a fun activity for people.

Mary Ann said it’s important for people to know it’s not a competition. She said square dancing is about getting out, camaraderie with people and exercising while being active.

She said it’s not about wearing fancy costumes, either. People are allowed to wear whatever they’re comfortable in.

What’s the hardest part

about square dancing?

For Lester and Mary Ann, it differs.

“Learning your left from your right,” Mary Ann said while laughing.

Lester said a difficult aspect isn’t the dancing itself, it’s about getting people over their initial fear of getting involved.

“Once you get a little bit of what it’s about, then they pick up on it and start enjoying it,” he said. “But, it’s that first (step). Well, they say ‘I can’t dance, I’ve got two left feet.’ But, once they overcome that fear, then they’re fine.”

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that when the bacteria are found in a health care facility, steps should be taken to address the problem, said spokeswoman Alison Albert.

But VA officials believe their approach is reasonable because tests have only shown trace amounts of Legionella bacteria, said Ed Ruppenkamp, chief

engineer for the Iowa City VA hospital.

Ruppenkamp said he is certain there is not a serious safety threat at the hospital.

“Do I drink the water? Absolutely,” he said.

“Have I taken a shower here? Yes.” The fact that officials found the bacteria is a byproduct of the testing the VA has been doing at its hospitals since the 2011

outbreak in Pittsburgh, Ruppenkamp said.

The amount of bacteria found is important. The Iowa Department of Public Health’s Dr. Patricia Quinlisk said finding small amounts of Legionella bacteria isn’t likely to represent a significant concern.

“If you look hard enough for Legionella, you will find it,” said Quinlisk, who isn’t involved in the Iowa City VA situation.

Obama’s health care overhaul, the Affordable Care Act, has provided health care to Iowa residents that need it. Ernst said the program should be repealed because it has taken “personal health care decisions out of our hands.”

Ernst said she wants to simplify tax policies and limit federal regulation to aid job creation. Braley said he supported raising the federal minimum wage and accused Ernst of opposing a wage hike.

Ernst said she thought the minimum wage should be set by the states.

Braley said he would protect abortion rights

and questioned Ernst’s support for state-level legislation that he said would block abortion and restrict access to contraception. Ernst called the legislation “a statement of life” and said she supported contraception for women.

The exchange grew tense during the final minutes after Braley referenced the Koch brothers.

Ernst said: “Congressman Braley, you’re not running against these other people, you’re running against me. I am a mother, I am a soldier and I am an independent leader. You are being funded by Tom

Steyer, who is a California billionaire extreme environmentalist.”

Braley retorted: “I realize that and President Obama’s name is not on the ballot. And I’m not going to owe President Obama anything on Election Day. You’re going to owe the Koch brothers everything.”

At the end, both candidates agreed on one thing: whoever wins, the first post-Election Day call would be to longtime Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.

The debate was sponsored by The Des Moines Register and KCCI-TV.

and many hospital patients are already susceptible to infection.

This is not the first time the agency has dealt with this problem. In 2011, an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease at the Pittsburgh VA Hospital was blamed for six deaths. And several other VA hospitals nationwide are also planning to replace their plumbing.

Athletes should be reflective Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about athletic clothing: “My biggest concern is the number of athletes out on the roads at sunset wearing their black shorts and shirts. I do not think they realize how nearly invisible they are to drivers.

Bike riders, please brighten up your red rear lights and your front light. Walkers and runners, light-colored clothing would be a big help, along with reflectors.” — L.B. in Coastal Florida My oh my! This is a major safety problem, and one that can be very dangerous for all parties! Anyone who jogs or walks, especially at dusk or nighttime, should be visible — light-colored clothes, safety tape, even a small flashlight, if necessary. It’s awfully dark where I live, and many times I have come upon someone walking and thought, “I almost did not see you!” — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Hints from Heloise commented about a recent Sound Off concerning public restrooms and the toilet-paper holder being placed so low: • Marty Y., via email, wrote: “I work for a large national chain retail store. Recently, our corporate office sent someone out to check all the paper dispensers in the restrooms to make sure they are compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. They were not, and had to be lowered in all the stalls to a height that is below your knees.”

• Betsy in Hamilton, Ohio, wrote, “A contractor told me companies make requests to have toilet-paper dispensers low because it makes it harder to get to, and people use less.”

(Heloise here: Some people do seem to tear off a lot!)

• Bob in Houston wrote: “The higher the holder, the more excess paper hanging to the floor. You know how sloppy people are in public facilities.”

This topic did start a lot of talk! So, what other reasons are there? — Heloise

Horoscope Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a tricky day. On one hand, it’s a fun day and a very creative day. On the other hand, it’s a poor day to shop or make important decisions.

(Postpone these until tomorrow.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might be focused on shared property and matters related to inheritances, insurance matters, taxes and debt.

Nevertheless, postpone these decisions until tomorrow.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is opposite your sign, but it is what astrologers call void of course. What you begin likely will not fulfill your goal. Therefore, wait till tomorrow to act. (But it is a good day for confidential discussions with partners.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Although you are keen to be productive, efficient and effective right now, don’t have high hopes for today. Wear water wings and stay away from the deep end.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a fabulous, creative day for you! It’s also a great day for social activities, and romance and schmoozing. Enjoy!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Family discussions will be lively and honest today. However, do not volunteer for anything or agree to an important plan.

Wait until tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a creative day for writers, actors, teachers and any kind of mental work.

But do not make plans. Do not spend money on anything other than food and gas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Postpone important financial decisions (and certainly shopping and purchases) until tomorrow. Buy only food and gas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual.

But you also are luckier than usual. Do not shop; do not volunteer for anything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You are high-viz now, because the Sun is at high noon in your chart. Play your cards close to your chest today.

Wait until tomorrow to act.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a wonderful day for a confidential, casual conver-

sation with a female friend.

Keep things light. Enjoy the company of others. This is a goofy day, but a great day to have fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might talk to authority figures today — parents, bosses and VIPs. Don’t agree to anything important. Don’t volunteer for anything. Just fill your databank and get information; and wait until tomorrow to act.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a perfectionist, and you work hard. You are knowledgeable

and like to expose the hypocrisy of others. You sometimes call attention to yourself with your own physical appearance, which others could find curious. This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Open any door! Start a new business activity.

Train companies discourage railway photography

CNA photo by SARAH BROWN

Count down: Connie and Leon Maxson of Creston pick up produce from Wallace Center

Volunteer Coordinator Lissa Kleven at Creston Farmers’ Market in McKinley Park. As of today, there are three farmers’ markets left — 4 p.m. today, Oct. 6 and 13.

LE MARS (AP) — Bisected by railways that enter and exit the city, for better or worse, it could be said trains have shaped the city of Le Mars.

On the city’s outskirts, clattering engines chug over rivers and creeks, guided on tracks alongside fields of corn and beans.

Train enthusiasts and artists are drawn to photograph those steel and wood paths, the LeMars Daily Sentinel reported.

Doing so carries attendant risks.

Near misses between photographers and oncoming trains have attracted the attention of rail companies like Union Pacific Railroad, of Omaha, Nebraska.

The company is trying to draw attention to the dangers of the popular practice.

Professional photographer Chris Becker, past president of the Professional Photographers of Iowa, said shooting photos on railways is common among photographers.

“A lot of them do, and I have done it in the past,” he said.

It’s not just photographers who are attracted to the tracks’ aesthetics.

Consumer demand for train-track portraits is also alive and well, Becker noted — particularly for high school senior photos.

“It seems like high school kids kind of like the look of

it,” he said.

Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said in addition to senior photos, railway portraits of families and weddings are also plentiful.

Photographers advertise their ability to create those photos on the Internet using examples of previous work, he said.

Davis estimates websites containing such photos are discovered about once a month.

Photos include parents sitting on the metal rails on either side of the track, while children pose atop the wooden planks in the middle, he said.

It isn’t only the trains that present dangers to pedestrians, said Davis.

“You see photos of people balancing on the rail and things of that nature,” Davis noted. “If that person were to fall and hit their head on the rail, that steel is very unforgiving.”

There are also possible legal repercussions, he added.

While photographing objects in plain view in public spaces is constitutionally protected, taking photos on railroad company property is trespassing.

Railroad tracks, trestles, yards and rights-of-way are private property, Davis explained.

Union Pacific staff contact photographers who post onto the Internet photos tak-

en on railways, asking them to remove the images.

“Because in essence they are providing a positive image for something that is extremely dangerous as well as against the law,” Davis said.

Trespassing opens the door to citation or arrest.

Sometimes Union Pacific safety team members or railroad police officers will visit the photographer, he said.

To Davis’ knowledge, Union Pacific has not taken legal action against individuals who have published photographs taken from tracks or trestles.

“Usually the photographers are not aware they are trespassing on private property and indicate to us they would not do it again,” he said.

Becker said he isn’t aware of any photography-related train accidents occurring in Le Mars.

However, injuries or deaths do occur annually when trespassers stray onto railroad property.

In 2013, there were about 900 incidents nationwide, according to Federal Railroad Administration data.

Nine of those incidents were in Iowa.

While it is difficult to pinpoint how many incidents involved photographers, Union Pacific is nonetheless reaching out to photographers as part of its train safety initiatives.

US consumer spending up a healthy 0.5 percent in August WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans boosted spending by a healthy amount in August, offering welcome evidence that the economy is on solid footing heading into the final quarter of the year.

Consumer spending in August rose 0.5 percent from the previous month after showing no gain in July, the Commerce Department reported Monday. About half of the increase was driven by auto sales. It was the best result since spending also expanded 0.5 percent in June.

Helped by strength in wages and salaries, income rose a modest 0.3 percent in August, slightly faster than a 0.2 percent July increase.

The spending gain was another sign that the economy is maintaining strength in the current July-September quarter. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity, and the slowdown in July had raised concerns about whether the economy would retain the momentum it showed in the spring after a harsh winter.

Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Eco-

nomics, said that consumer spending was the strongest in six months after the effects of inflation were removed.

“Overall, faster income growth, the recent rises in the saving rate and the latest loosening in credit conditions suggest that consumption growth will accelerate in the fourth quarter and next year,” Dales said.

The saving rate dipped slightly to 5.4 percent of after-tax income in August.

That was down only slightly from a saving rate of 5.6 percent in July, which had been the highest monthly rate since December 2012.

Inflation was well contained in August, with an inflation measure tracked closely by the Federal Reserve showing no change after a 0.1 percent July increase. Over the past 12 months, this measure of inflation is up just 1.5 percent, well below the Fed’s 2 percent target.

About half of the spending growth came from a big jump in car sales in August. That helped push durable goods purchases up 1.8 percent in August after no change in July. Sales of

nondurable goods actually fell 0.3 percent in August, a decline that likely reflected falling gas prices. Spending on services including utilities and rent rose 0.5 percent in August.

The government on Friday reported that the overall economy as measured by the gross domestic product grew at a rapid 4.6 percent annual rate in the AprilJune quarter, a significant rebound after the economy had gone into reverse in the first quarter.

Many expect that the momentum created in the spring will keep activity rising at a solid pace for the rest of this year and into 2015. The latest outlook from top forecasters with the National Association for Business Economics predicts the economy will grow at a 3 percent rate in the second half of this year and will average 3 percent in 2015, which would give the country its strongest annual growth rate in a decade.

Since the recession ended five years ago, growth has averaged a lackluster 2 percent. The optimism for a breakout to higher growth

stems on the belief that rising employment will generate growing incomes, which would then support more consumer spending. In addition, the significant drag from cutbacks in government spending and higher taxes are beginning to wane.

Responding to stronger job growth, consumer confidence rose in September to 84.6, the highest point in 14 months and the second highest level in the past seven years.

The Federal Reserve is continuing to pursue its ul-

tra-low interest rate policies as a way to make sure that the forecasts for stronger growth are not suddenly derailed by rising borrowing costs.

At its last meeting two weeks ago, it retained language that it expected to keep rates low for a “considerable time,” which was

seen as a strong signal by many economists that its key short-term interest rate will remain at a record low near zero until next summer.

The Fed has been able to maintain low rates because inflation has remained well below the Fed’s 2 percent target.

The Numbers Game

4,186

The number of home runs hit in the MLB this year, 475 fewer than last year and fewest in the 30-team era.

National Digest

No hitter WASHINGTON — One out away from pitching the Washington Nationals’ first no-hitter, Jordan Zimmermann watched his 104th pitch on a crisp, clear Sunday afternoon get smacked toward deep left-center.

Zimmermann leaned his head back and winced.

His first thought: “Double. No-doubt double.”

“And then,” the righthander said later, “he comes out of nowhere and makes that catch.”

Thanks to a dramatic, diving grab by little-used rookie Steven Souza Jr., who came on as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning, Zimmermann completed his gem, a 1-0 victory for the NL East champion Nationals over the Miami Marlins.

No major leaguer had thrown a no-hitter in Washington since Bobby Burke did it for the Senators in 1931 against Boston.

Quite a way to cap a regular season in which the Nationals finished with the NL’s best record, 96-66. Washington hosts San Francisco or Pittsburgh in Game 1 of a division series Friday.

Gordon wins DOVER, Del. — Jeff Gordon doused Team Penske’s hot streak with a champagne bath in Victory Lane.

Sticky and sweet, Gordon had secured an emphatic automatic spot in the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

But Gordon’s entry in the field of 12 was all but guaranteed even before he dominated the closing laps Sunday at Dover International Speedway.

NASCAR tried to inject its 10-race Chase format with a revamped formula for crowning a champion this season. Under NASCAR’s elimination format, four drivers will be knocked out after every third race. Dover marked the third race.

Kurt Busch, AJ Allmendinger, Greg Biffle and Aric Almirola were eliminated from championship contention.

Four more drivers will drop out following the next three-race segment that starts next week at Kansas Speedway.

Jeter retirement BOSTON — After hearing Fenway Park filled with chants of his name and picking up an RBI infield single in his final career at-bat, Derek Jeter removed his No. 2 Yankee uniform for the final time without any regrets.

Jeter, 40, removed himself following his third-inning RBI chopped single to third in the Yankees’ 9-5 victory over the Red Sox. It was the 3,465th hit of his career, which is the sixth-most in baseball history. He finished his career with a batting average of .310. He was a part of five Yankee championship teams.

Jeter, who grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan, dreaming of being the Yankees’ shortstop, said he would not change even one aspect of his career, describing his two decades with the Yankees simply as “fun.”

Big plays propel Panthers past Glenwood

By SCOTT VICKER

Late in the fourth quarter, with the Panthers leading 35-19, Nielsen capped off the scoring with a 59-yard touchdown run around the left side.

“The game plan was outstanding on the offensive side,” Morrison said. “We had opportunities in all phases of the game on offense. Hats off to the offensive staff. They do a heck of a job preparing for other teams. Kids understand what they’re doing and if they play hard, guess what?

Things work.”

Shiltz also scored on TD runs of 13 and 7 yards, while Nielsen added a TD run of 4 yards.

The Panthers relied heavily on the ground game in the second half.

“That’s what we need to do,” Morrison said. “That’s been our motto for the last five years. Kids just have to believe and play every down like it’s their last. I think they bought into that effort tonight.”

GLENWOOD — The Creston/Orient-Macksburg Panthers amassed more than 500 yards of total offense, including three touchdowns of more than 50 yards, in a 42-19 Class 3A District 8 win over Glenwood here on Friday.

The Panthers held the Rams to 306 yards of offense, handing the Rams their fourth straight loss on a night that ended in fireworks to celebrate Glenwood’s homecoming.

Creston/O-M improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in District 8, where the Panthers sit in a tie atop the district standings with Dallas Center Grimes, also 4-1 and 2-0.

Glenwood, which had lost its three previous games by a total of six points, fell to 1-4 overall and 0-3 in District 8.

“This was a must-win for Glenwood,” Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison said. “We knew that. Playoff type atmosphere here with it being homecoming. Very pleased with the outcome of this game.”

Big plays It didn’t take long for the Panthers to get on the scoreboard.

Facing a third-and-13 on the third play of the game, senior quarterback Alex Nielsen found Chase Shiltz for an 83-yard touchdown on a wheel route out of the backfield. Conner Pals’ kick made it 7-0 with 10:36 to go in the first quarter.

covered a Glenwood fumble, the Panthers appeared poised to score again.

But a trick play that saw receiver McClain Haines take a pitch on a reverse and throw to Nielsen resulted in an interception at the goal line, which Mavrick Decker returned 95 yards to the Panther 5-yard line.

The Rams knotted the score a 7-7 on a Kolten Wilwerding 7-yard pass to Aar-

on Bertini.

Creston/O-M took a 14-7 lead into halftime, and after a slow start to the second half by both teams, Nielsen and Shiltz hooked up for another long TD toss.

Nielsen rolled right and threw back across the field to Shiltz, who again came out of the backfield. Shiltz sprinted into the end zone untouched for a 79-yard touchdown.

Shiltz finished the game with two catches for 157 yards and the two touchdowns.

He added 102 yards Shiltz rushing on a teamhigh 18 carries. Nielsen carried 13 times for 106 yards.

The Panther defense kept Glenwood in check for much of the night, just giving up a pair of big plays in the second half.

Glenwood’s first-half touchdown came after Decker’s interception return to the 5-yard line.

The Rams added touchdowns in the second half on a 79-yard catch by Brogan Weddum and a 50-yard catch by Decker.

Raiders keep their hold on rivalry’s ‘Rock’ Mount Ayr pounds shorthanded Wolverines, 42-14

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — Grant Staats and Kyle Dolecheck had two touchdowns each as visiting Mount Ayr defeated Nodaway Valley Friday night, 42-14, in the annual “Battle for the Rock.”

The Raiders (4-1 overall, 3-0 Class A District 8) took a 42-7 lead with 6:45 left in the third period on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Jacob Taylor to Lincoln Martin, engaging the state’s mercy rule running clock at a 35-point margin.

With Raider reserves in the game, the Wolverines (1-4, 0-3) drove 76 yards in the final minutes for a 2-yard TD run by quarterback Jackson Lamb with 10 seconds remaining.

Staats scored on runs of 10 yards and 2 yards in the first quarter for the Raiders. Dolecheck had a 4-yard TD run to break a 7-7 tie, and added an 82-yard jaunt in the second quar- Dolecheck ter. After Nodaway Valley fumbled on its own 11-yard line, Taylor’s 1-yard quarterback sneak tacked on another Raider touchdown before halftime for a 35-7 lead at the break.

Early tie Early in the game, the Raiders lost the ball on a high punt snap and the Wolverines converted with a 1-yard touchdown run by Brennen Weiland to knot the score at 7-7. Josh All-

Members of the Mount Ayr football team, including from left, Jake Ricker (70), Joe Ricker (73) and Connor Giles (81) hold the “Battle for the Rock” trophy aloft in front of Raider fans after defeating Nodaway Valley Friday night, 42-14, in Greenfield. The Raiders have won the trophy each of the three years the game has been played in dedication to former Raider coach Dave Still and former Nodaway Valley coach Bob Daut.

sup’s 27yard gain set up Weiland’s s h o r t touchdown run. “ W e put our- Allsup selves in a hole with a bad punt snap, and allowed them to tie the game,” said Mount Ayr cocoach Delwyn Showalter.

“But we responded and took control right away.

We didn’t allow them to build any momentum.

Other than that series right after the bad punt snap, when we were on our heels a little bit, we didn’t give them much on the inside.”

Another Mount Ayr high punt snap resulted in punter Levi Jarred getting a punt off on the run. The Wolverines were penalized for roughing the punter plus an unsportsmanlike penalty, keeping the Raider drive

alive as Staats scored his second touchdown to make it 20-7 late in the opening period.

“When it goes over his head, he’s kind of free game,” said Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz, explaining his objection to the roughing penalty. “We ran into him as he got off the punt, so they called a personal foul. Then I went off, and I usually don’t do that, and I got the unsportsmanlike. We felt like that could have been another good shot for us to get some momentum.”

Aerial attack Mount Ayr’s passing attack had much more precision in the second half, with Taylor lofting a perfect pass to Martin on the run Martin

along the left sideline to engage the running clock at 42-7 less than four minutes into the second half.

“In the first half the ball just fluttered coming out of there,” Showalter said. “We didn’t know if something was wrong with the grip, or what. But on that TD play, we had run two slants and they took a timeout to take the slant away. We called a V, which is a slant and cut back to the outside. He (Martin) broke it off and turned it upfield, because of the way the defender was playing him. He and Jacob were on the same page there. They read it the same way.”

That ended the scoring until Nodaway Valley put together its 76-yard drive at the end of the game. The drive included a 33-yard pass play from Lamb to Zach Eblen.

Until that drive, Nodaway Valley had managed only

83 total yards. The Raider defensive line, featuring 6-4 Jed McCreary, 6-2 Jake Ricker and powerful 6-foot Joe Ricker, batted down several of Lamb’s passes.

Rhett Murphy caught one of them and scored on the return, but an inadvertent whistle called that play back when one of the officials thought the ball hit the ground.

“Lamb throws a nice ball, but it’s at a little bit of a sidearm, he kind of slings it out there,” Showalter said.

“So, we talked about that with our defensive linemen.

We’ve probably knocked down more passes this year than we ever have. We have some tall guys up front. To me that’s a devastating play for an offense, because you don’t even get a chance to make a play on the ball.”

It was the 52nd meeting of the two programs, with Please see ROCK, page 9A

Area football East Union 68, ACA 33 AFTON — East Union bounced back from a big defeat by picking up a 68-33 win over Ankeny Christian Academy here on Friday for the Eagles’ homecoming game.

Cole Campbell ran for 217 yards and two touchdowns and passed for another touchdown in the win, which improved the Eagles to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in Eight-Man District 7.

The Eagles racked up 490 yards on the ground in the win, as Mike Ward added 125 yards with two touchdowns and Brandon Wittstock added 97 yards with two scores. Clayton Miller ran for 51 yards and one touchdown.

“I think we can attribute that to our offensive line,” East Union co-head coach James Hardy said. “Once again, they did a relaly good job of pulling for us and blocking for us.”

Senior running back Jonathan Weis learned leading up to the game that he will need season-ending surgery to repair his ACL. Mason Gossman caught a touchdown pass for the Eagles. Brandon Hulsey, m e a n while, provided the team with two interceptions on defense and re- Hulsey turned a kickoff 72 yards for a touchdown.

Lenox 31, Nishnabotna 14 LENOX — The Lenox Tigers outscored winless Nishnabotna 20-0 in the second half to win their homecoming game Friday, 31-14.

The Tigers trailed 14-11 at halftime as the Blue Devils scored on a 44-yard run

by Chad Blank and a 66yard pass play from Austin Thompson to Blank.

The lone Lenox scores of the first half were a 27-yard field goal by Dawson Tullberg and a 1-yard run by Caleb Lange.

“We didn’t play well in the first half,” said Lenox coach Allen Dukes. “We blew coverage that allowed a score, and lost contain on another. Offensively we missed blocking assignments and could not get to the outside.”

Lange ran for two more short-yardage touchdowns in the second half and Dustyn Rauch, recovering from an Achilles injury, managed a 6-yard touchdown while the Tiger defense posted a shutout for the final 24 minutes.

Lange finished with 101 yards rushing on 22 carries.

Jared Hensley ran 13 times for 59 yards. In limited ac-

tion, Rauch provided 31 yards on 10 carries. Carson Cline completed a 20-yard pass to Spencer Brown.

Brown had a big game defensively with six solo tackles, seven assists, five quarterback sacks and two bat- Brown ted passes. Josh Mitchell had 11 total tackles.

“In the second half we pounded the ball up the middle, with Lange doing a good job running hard for more than 100 yards,” Dukes said. “We got a big play return from Jared Hensley to set up a score.

PANTHERS: Continued from page 6A

Morrison said. “Didn’t have safety over the top on one of them and then the other one they broke loose, our outside backer wasn’t in the fan. Those are things we can fix.”

Aside from the two long Glenwood touchdowns, the Panther defense limited the Rams to 3.10 yards per play.

“You saw a Glenwood team that has speed,” Morrison said. “When they get out in space, they’re tough to catch. You’ve got to corral them. That was the game plan and I thought our kids executed the game plan for the majority of the game.

Obviously, we have to improve on some things, but very pleased with the way the kids performed.”

Haines intercepted a Wilwerding pass late in the game and also sacked Wilwerding in the first half.

Maitlen recovered a fumble and led the team with two solo stops and 11 assisted tack- Maitlen les. Sam

Hartsock broke up a pair of passes and Brody Frain had one pass breakup.

The 2-0 start in district play puts the Panthers in a solid position to secure one of the four playoff positions from District 8.

“You have to give yourself a chance,” Morrison said. “Early on, you have to win football games. I think Glenwood was probably considered a top four team.

I think Winterset thought they were a top four team.

I think everybody thinks they’re a top four team until things start unfolding.

I just want to make sure we’re in a situation where we’re not chasing people.”

The Panthers now turn their attention to ADM for Friday’s homecoming game. The Tigers come into the contest with a 2-3 overall record and a District 8 record of 1-2 after a 16-6 loss to Winterset on Friday.

In other District 8 action from Friday, Harlan ended a three-game losing streak with a 24-21 win over Atlantic. In non-district play, Dallas Center-Grimes picked up a 45-27 win over winless Boone.

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less than what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off.

Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.

ROCK: Continued from page 6A

Mount Ayr breaking the tie to go in front 25-24-3.

Trophy game The 2014 game was also the Battle for the Rock III, with the teams playing for a trophy designed by Freedom Rock artist Bubba Sorensen of Greenfield. The trophy honors longtime coaches Bob Daut (Nodaway Valley) and Dave Still (Mount Ayr) and also commemorates the history and tradition of the rivalry. The Raiders have won all three trophy games to date.

Nodaway Valley’s last win in the series was in 2010.

Joe Ricker, part of the group that proudly held the trophy aloft in front of the Raider fans after the game, said it provides a little extra incentive.

“It definitely means something to us,” Ricker said.

“The past years, with Dave Still and Bob Daut, both of them were great coaches.

They led Jo. Ricker a lot of successful teams. Playing in memory of them, it’s always going to be a game where people play

hard.”

The win sets up a big homecoming game this week as the Raiders host another district unbeaten, Bedford.

“We’re playing our oldest rival for homecoming, and they’ve made a huge turnaround from last year,” Showalter said. “They have already rushed for 1,400 yards this year, so that tells you they are doing a great job up front. We’re looking forward to the game and all of the special events of homecoming and our Hall of Fame week.”

NV attrition Nodaway Valley, down to 15 available players by the end of the game, tries to regroup in a district matchup with winless Clarinda Academy.

Receiver J.D. Lyman left the game with an apparent concussion in the first half for the Wolverines, and lineman Tanner Armstrong left the game late with an undetermined ailment.

The Wolverines were already down to 17 players at the start of the game, as receiver Jacob Baudler and tight end Nathan Andrews were withheld in their recoveries from concussions.

By the end of the game, Shantz and his staff had a

total of four reserves to call on.

“It’s tough,” Shantz said.

“They (Mount Ayr) are huge, and in some cases we were just overmatched. We wore down a little bit.”

“We knew we could wear them down if we were patient,” Showalter said. “We were very physical tonight.

But I’ll tell you what, they have some good players and they play hard. There just aren’t very many of them!”

Shantz said Armstrong was OK later Friday night and should be available this week against Clarinda Academy. While Lyman, jolted in a collision with Joe CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON Ricker on a pass play, may Mount Ayr running back Grant Staats splits Nodaway Valley defenders Sam Marnin be out a week or two, Shantz (68) and Joe Herr (37) for his second touchdown Friday night to give the Raiders a 20-7 is hopeful tight end Nathan lead 26 seconds before halftime. Blocking at left is Mount Ayr’s Joe Ricker (73).
