An unassessable value

CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAM

Union County Assessor Gene Haner is retiring at the end of the year. He said one of his favorite improvements during more than 31 years as assessor has been the Geographic Informational System (GIS). Instead of using large map books like the one pictured above, Haner said it can now all be done on a computer.

Long-time county assessor plans to retire Dec. 31

Examining board meeting

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Thirty one years, seven months and eight days.

That is how long Union County Assessor Gene Haner has served the county before he retires Dec. 31.

Union County Board of Supervisors regretfully accepted and approved Haner’s resignation at their regularly scheduled meeting Monday.

“Gene has been here long term, has been very faithful and great to work with,” said Union County Board of Supervisor Chairman Dennis Brown. “We are really going to miss him.”

Biggest change The assessor’s primary duty and responsibility is to assess all real property within their jurisdiction except that which is otherwise provided by law. This would include residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural classes of property.

“I have enjoyed working with Gene for the last 25 years,” said Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell. “We worked closely

An examining board has been put into place with one representative for the county, cities and school districts. They will meet Thursday for their organizational meeting. The examining board is composed of Curt Turner, Fran Bakerink and Phillip Waigand. After the board receives the list of eligible people, they will conduct interviews before making a recommendation for a new assessor. with real estate, making it available online.”

When Haner moved into the lower level of the Union County Courthouse 31 years ago, there were no computers.

Instead, he worked with huge map books — similar to the one pictured above — and would hand draw any property splits.

“Computers have made things much easier,” Haner said. “The new GIS (Geographic Informational System) is the biggest improvement we have made.”

GIS is an aerial view of the entire county and allows Haner to zoom in on individual properties. The county updated their aerial pictures for the system in March.

“Before, we had to do it by hand,” Haner said. “It would take three to four days.

Now it just takes us a couple of hours.”

Haner can use GIS to split a property, and it gives him a print out of the soil type, a rating of the property and the full value of the land.

An assessor is concerned with value, not taxes. The taxes paid are proportionate to the value of property compared to the total value of the taxing district in which the property is located.

“I think that is what I have enjoyed most, working with this new GIS,” Haner said.

Branstad, Hatch face Plea agreement reached for Iowa off in final debate DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad and Democratic challenger Jack Hatch will face off in their final debate in the race for Iowa gov- Branstad ernor.

Branstad and Hatch will appear in Sioux City on Tuesday night at the Orpheum Theatre. This is last of three debates in the race.

Polls have shown Branstad, who is

running for a sixth non-consecutive term, with a sizable lead in the race.

He has touted his recent achievements, including a commercial propHatch erty tax cut and new education spending, as reasons for re-election.

Hatch has argued that he would do more for middle-class families, pledging to raise the minimum wage and create jobs.

QUICK NEWS CHS band prepares for state contest

The Creston High School Panther Marching Band placed eighth in the morning and ninth in the evening shows Saturday at Valleyfest in Des Moines. In all, 13 bands competed in the invite-only event.

The event starts at 8 a.m. with Class 1A. The CHS band is slated to perform at 2:50 p.m. The Panthers have set a goal of receiving a I rating — the highest available rating.

“We are the last band performing in 3A,” Peters said.

“We would love to have as many people from Creston as possible come cheer us on. One of the unique things about this contest is that part of your Peters score is crowd response. The louder the crowd, the better our score. So come and support the Panther marching band and yell loud.”

If the band meets their goal this year, it will mark 26 consectuive I ratings at state for the CHS band program.

High Lakes banquet numbers

This year’s High Lakes Outdoor Alliance (HLOA) banquet held Thursday at Three Mile Lodge will net about $35,000. Tom Lesan with HLOA reports around 300 people attended the banquet that included a primerib dinner, raffle and auction.

“People just keep supporting us,” Lesan said. “You know when pies are being auctioned off for $95 that people really like what you are doing. This will be another record year for us in terms of money. I think the total raised continues to go up each year because people can see the shooting range, they can see other areas where their money is being used locally.”

HLOA is a non-profit organization — established in 2005 — that raises money to promote and enhance outdoor activities in Union County. Every dollar raised by HLOA is used in Union County.

“The listeners spoke up and we listened,” said Chad Rieck, general manager at KSIB. “We tried the talk format and it just didn’t work out. It was an easy switch back for me because I like country music. The main thing is we continue to be a local radio station with news, sports and weather and now we have country music back again.”

Country music will be

heard on the station’s FM dial during these times now: • Midnight to 6 a.m.

• 1 to 5 p.m.

• 5:30 to 6 p.m.

• 7 p.m. to midnight Rieck said classic country music can be heard from 6 to 9 a.m. on Sunday, prior to the church service broadcast. He also added listeners will now hear KSIB personalities on the air during music times.

What’s next An examining board has been put into place with one representative for the county, cities and school districts.

“They are meeting Thursday night for their organizational meeting,” Haner said.

“Then they will need to contact the (Iowa) Department of Revenue to get a list of all eligible people that have passed the assessors test.”

The examining board is composed of Curt Turner, Fran Bakerink and Phillip Waigand.

After the board receives the list of eligible people, they will ask for applications and conduct interviews.

“There are two types of appointments,” Haner said.

“One is a provisional appointment where they have no experience in the office, but the (Iowa) Department of Revenue comes down for six months to help get them started.”

The other appointment is a standard appointment — which is how Haner was appointed — where the applicant has experience and the department does not come

down.

If the examining board recommends a provisional appointment, funding for the Iowa Department of Revenue to come down for training comes out of the assessor’s budget.

“All the counties as far as the assessment field are similar,” Haner said.

The examining board’s recommendation goes to the conference board, which is the county supervisors, city mayors and school boards in the county. They each have one vote to approve or deny the recommendation.

Supervisor Ron Riley said he is encouraged by the experienced staff of Vickie Smith, deputy, and Joni Cook, assistant, that will be able to help give the new assessor a smooth transition.

As for Haner’s plans for retirement, he said he has a pretty good idea what he will be doing.

“I will do whatever my wife tells me,” Haner said with a laugh.

They are already in the process of planning a trip to Las Vegas in the spring to visit their children, grandchildren and new great-grandchild.

public Monday. But the attorney general’s office contacted him Monday morning to object, saying both sides agreed the deal wouldn’t be released until “at or before” Thursday’s plea and sentencing hearing for Sapp.

Jacobson issued an amended order Monday afternoon agreeing the deal could be filed Thursday.

Sapp is charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment causing death in the October 2013

death of Autumn Elgersma. Investigators say she slammed the toddler to the floor at her in-home daycare, causing severe head injuries that killed the girl two days later.

It’s unclear which charges prosecutors might drop under the deal, and what potential sentence Sapp faces.

Attorney General’s Office spokesman Geoff Greenwood said plea agreements aren’t final until they’re accepted by judges.

They are often made public days before plea hearings.

Agents chase tips about lottery mystery man DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa agents have received hundreds of tips since releasing video of a man buying a winning lottery ticket at the center of a fraud investigation.

Iowa Department of Public Safety spokesman Alex Murphy said Monday that investigators are focusing on a dozen tips seen as credible.

Investigators released surveillance footage Thursday as they sought the public’s help

identifying the man seen buying two Hot Lotto tickets at a Des Moines gas station in December 2010. One of them had the winning numbers for a $14.3 million jackpot.

A New York lawyer attempted to claim the prize a year later, saying he was representing a winner who wanted to remain anonymous. The Iowa Lottery refused to pay after he wouldn’t identify the winner or explain the ticket’s chain of custody.

Canned goods collected Union County 4-H members went trick-or-treating for canned food items the evening of Oct. 8 throughout the neighborhoods in Creston.

Nineteen 4-H’ers went out in four groups, and in one hour, nearly six boxes full of canned food was collected. All of the donations will be given to MATURA in Creston.

This event was held in celebration of National 4-H Week.

Dallas nurse with Ebola gets blood from survivor DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas nurse infected with Ebola while treating the first patient diagnosed in the U.S. has received a plasma transfusion from a doctor who beat the virus.

Nurse Nina Pham was among about 70 staff members at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, according to medical records. The 26-yearold nurse was in the Liberian man’s room often, from the day he was placed in intensive care until the day before he died last week.

Pham and other health care workers wore protective gear, including gowns, gloves, masks and face shields — and sometimes full-body suits — when caring for Duncan, but she became the first person to contract the disease within the United States. Duncan died Wednesday.

Health care workers including Pham were told to monitor themselves by taking their temperatures. She went to the hospital Friday night after finding she had a fever.

As Pham was being treated in isolation Tuesday, the World Health Organization projected that West Africa could see up to 10,000 new Ebola cases a week within two months and confirmed the death rate in the current outbreak has risen to 70 percent.

The agency’s assistant director-general, Dr. Bruce Aylward, gave the figures during a news conference in Geneva.

the WHO had estimated the Ebola mortality rate at around 50 percent.

If the world’s response to the crisis isn’t stepped up within 60 days, “a lot more people will die,” Aylward said.

Meanwhile in Berlin, a U.N. medical worker infected with Ebola in Liberia died. The 56-year-old man, whose name has not been released, died overnight of the infection, the St. Georg hospital in Leipzig announced Tuesday.

Members of the Pham family’s church held a special Mass for her in Fort Worth on Monday night.

Rev. Jim Khoi, of the Our Lady of Fatima Church,

said Pham’s mother told him the nurse had received a transfusion that could save her life.

“Her mom says that she got the blood from the gentleman, a very good guy. I don’t know his name but he’s very devoted and a very good guy from somewhere,” Khoi said.

Jeremy Blume, a spokesman for the nonprofit medical mission group Samaritan’s Purse, confirmed that the plasma donation came from Kent Brantly, the first American to return to the U.S. from Liberia to be treated for Ebola. Brantly received an experimental treatment and fought off the virus, and has donated

blood to three others, including Pham.

“He’s a doctor. That’s what he’s there to do.

That’s his heart,” Blume said.

Brantly said in a recent speech that he also offered his blood for Duncan, but that their blood types didn’t match.

Khoi said Pham’s mother assured him the nurse was comfortable and “doing well,” and that the two women had been able to talk via Skype. She was in isolation and in stable condition, health officials said.

Another unidentified person who had close contact with her has also been isolated as a precaution.

OPINION A war for show

Compared with President Barack Obama, even Jimmy Carter is John McCain.

The former president practically synonymous with American weakness and retreat thinks Obama was too slow to act against ISIS and gives his current strategy only “a possibility of success,” provided it involves (unspecified) ground troops.

When you are too passive for Jimmy Carter, it’s time for some soul-searching in the Situation Room. The late-1970s are calling and want their foreign policy back.

The war against ISIS so far is desultory and occasional, a campaign of underwhelming force. ISIS has still been on the verge of taking the Syrian town of Khobani, abutting the Turkish border, and on the offensive in Iraq. The erstwhile JV team is defying all the military might that the world’s lone superpower is willing to muster.

There has been renewed talk of

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

how, as former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta put it the other day, the fight against terrorism will be a 30-year war. At this rate, it will be a generational struggle merely to get ISIS out of Mosul.

To this point, almost everything has lent credence to the skeptical interpretation of Obama’s war: That in reaction to a spectacular media event (the horrific ISIS beheadings), the president staged his own media event, an inconsequential bombing campaign accompanied by a tough-sounding, primetime speech.

The experience of the surge in Afghanistan, the red-line fiasco and now this suggest that Obama

is a hawk precisely to the extent he feels the politics don’t allow him to wiggle out of it.

His talk of Afghanistan as the good war in the 2008 campaign was too fresh for him to countenance an immediate defeat. So he ordered the surge and tried never to speak of it again, and now wants to completely liquidate our military presence on the failed model of Iraq.

He had seemed determined to strike Syria after Bashar Assad used chemical weapons last year, then found a way to crab-walk away from his own earnest warnings.

The war against ISIS happens to be just enough to placate the public’s hawkish mood without getting too far out in front or taking actions that will fully commit the president.

The Powell Doctrine is to use maximum military power to achieve a clear objective; the Obama Doctrine evidently is to use minimal military power to create a

vague impression. Message: I care about defeating ISIS, for now.

If the president intended to catch up to public opinion, he hasn’t gotten there yet. A Fox News poll last week found that 57 percent of people think our actions against the Islamic State haven’t been aggressive enough. Sixty percent of Democrats (Jimmy Carter apparently among them) don’t think Obama has been tough enough in taking on Islamic radicals.

The critics include two of his former defense secretaries, both of whom have taken the extraordinary step of publicly criticizing him. Who knows what Chuck Hagel eventually will have to say?

The anti-ISIS campaign is a brilliant tactical success, in the sense that we are hitting what we target.

But it is a strategic nullity.

It is too small to make much of a difference, and there are limits to how much can be done exclusively from the air anyway. We can bomb

fixed targets — refineries and bridges — and perhaps tanks and large troop movements. The problem is that ISIS is a guerrilla force not highly vulnerable from the air, and it becomes even less so once it is entrenched in cities.

Regardless, there are no American ground controllers on the front lines, and they are essential to meaningful precision targeting.

If they are ruled out — together with the troops necessary to provide protection and logistics — the campaign against ISIS looks like a holding action.

It caused a minor furor when Obama said a few weeks ago that he didn’t have a strategy against ISIS yet. The scandal is that, with American planes dropping bombs in two countries, he still doesn’t.

Katy Perry confirmed rumors that the NFL has asked her to perform HOLLYWOOD--Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.

President Obama snarled Los Angeles traffic as he was driven up the San Diego Freeway by motorcade to Brentwood on Thursday with dozens of police cars trailing him. People stood on freeway bridges and cheered him on.

Everybody just assumed he had just murdered his wife.

Gwyneth Paltrow hosted President Obama for a fundraiser in Brentwood Thursday. They charged a thousand to get in but thirty-two thousand to meet the president. That sounds unusually high, especially when you can jump over the White House fence and meet him for free.

The FBI called for the public’s help in identifying the masked spokesman for the Islamic State who is believed to be an American. He goes on YouTube and defends jihad against non-Muslims.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

FBI voice experts say it sounds like he’s from the Midwest, so that rules out Ben Affleck.

Katy Perry confirmed rumors Friday that the National Football League has asked her to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl next year in Phoenix. The idea behind Katy’s selection is to improve the NFLs image. The NFL wants a woman who can give herself black eyes.

Princeton University’s Manjul Barghava won the Fields medal, an equivalent of the Nobel Prize for Mathematics. He was awarded for his work with infinite numbers.

Using a formula that filled up six blackboards, he demonstrated how long it will take him to pay off his student loans.

2014

The niece Chelsey grew up in this column, a recurring character from the time she was born until she graduated college. Then she disappeared, at least from this block of newspaper real estate.

“She’s not funny anymore,” I’d joke when readers asked — as they inevitably did — why I no longer wrote much about her.

The kid who wore pink swim fins 24-7 for her summer vacation was only a distant, hilarious memory, yesterday’s column fodder.

The sad truth is that her adult life makes our customary long visits together impossible. She has a job, a boyfriend, a car payment, a life. She is 26, no longer a child.

I make myself go to Facebook occasionally to “hear” her sweet voice. I don’t like that fools-faces format, but it’s the way kids communicate. They don’t seem to answer their telephones or email, at least not routinely.

And Chelsey posts lots of photos.

She’s working with students called “equine scholars” at Georgetown College, the same small Kentucky school from which she graduated.

And horses with teenagers astride them make for good pictures.

On the computer, at least, I can see her pretty face and eavesdrop on her conversations with friends.

It is better than nothing.

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

Last week, however, the planets aligned. I finally saw her in person, and for pleasure, not at a sick bed or a funeral, and not for a few exasperating minutes. I got four whole days.

I couldn’t believe my luck. I bought a dozen yellow roses for the guest room. I scrubbed the bath tub. I stocked up on food my vegetarian niece might eat.

She walked across the Colorado airport lobby with the grace of a blue-jeaned ballerina. Chelsey wore new eyeglasses and a stylish scarf around her neck. The jeans and boat shoes proved she still preferred casual. She looked like a model if models ever ate.

We never stopped talking or running those four days. We climbed rocks in the Garden of the Gods and listened to bluegrass music.

We ate barbecue and admired the paintings of Maxfield Parrish at the Broadmoor Hotel. We sloshed through rain to visit art cooperatives and drove into the mountains to see spectacular views.

We saw a movie that was set in the Marais of Paris and thought

we recognized an apartment we’d once rented. We laughed and laughed and laughed over, well, I don’t know, everything. We find the same things funny. We always have.

Chelsey wants to go to graduate school but is not sure what to study.

Archival history and public health are two options. She wants to visit the Normandy beaches but isn’t sure when she’ll have time. She wants to learn about bee-keeping but figures that will have to wait until retirement.

Chelsey is moving into a barn apartment for six months of free board in return for taking care of three horses. She’s excited. Her resourceful nature has not changed.

Her last night here we met friends.

For one vainglorious moment I stared at this young woman and wanted to take partial credit for how well she’s turned out. I cannot.

She shaped me, not vice versa. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com. (c) 2014 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Danica Patrick admits there are some occupational hazards to dating a fellow NASCAR driver.

In a column for D e r e k Patrick Jeter’s new sports website, The Players’ Tribune, Patrick wrote that racing against boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can create “Montagues and the Capulets” moments — a reference to the feuding families of the star-crossed lovers in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”

“If it’s crazy to want to go

to sleep next to the person who ran your car off the road going 200 miles per hour earlier that day, then I’m certifiable,” she wrote.

Patrick and Stenhouse went public with their relationship in early 2013 and have had only a handful of scrapes on the track. After their most recent, at Chicago last month, she used profanity to discuss it with him after the race. Then they moved on.

“He’s also extremely cuddly, which really helps his cause, because sometimes I’m not very happy with him,” she wrote.

Jeter launched his website at the beginning of the month after he retired from the New York Yankees. The site is de-

voted to delivering athletes’ “unfiltered” views to the fans, and The Players’ Tribune is being billed as a digital company that will offer unique access to top athletes in every sport. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wrote about domestic violence in an earlier post.

Patrick used her debut on the site to touch on a variety of topics, including her struggles in NASCAR and the question of children, “a decision for us to consider in our future.”

“This is stuff that I didn’t entertain before I was with him and it’s a big part of my life now,” she wrote. “It’s a question that every ambitious, working woman has to grapple with.”

Car on ice not all gummed up Dear Heloise: I discovered strings of GUM along one side of my car. Not wanting to damage the finish, I was reluctant to try any solvents. Then I thought, “What would Heloise do?” I remembered your hints about using ice to harden gum and make it easier to remove from clothing and household surfaces, so why not a car?

Worked like a charm! — Donna L., via email Glad you thought it through before using the wrong product! Just be sure to place the ice cubes in a plastic bag before holding it against the car.

— Heloise REMOVE BUILDUP Dear Heloise: I use about 2 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with half a glass of warm water to remove hairspray buildup on my hair.

Works great! Regular shampoo sometimes doesn’t remove the spray after it hardens. — Bonnie in Arkansas This is a classic Heloise hint!

Safe, cheap and “green.” You can either add the baking soda to the shampoo you use or just mix it with water, as you do.

Yet another reason I love the stuff! For more money-saving ideas, order my popular Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet by sending

Dear Heloise: Here is an environmentally safe and organic way to get rid of some unwanted bugs in your garden: Buy a bag of ladybugs from your local nursery! Not only are they effective, but they are colorful and fun to watch.

Now whenever I put something in an unusual place (or find something I’ve looked everywhere for), I just open the file and make a note! If you want to get fancy, you can make your list on a spreadsheet and then sort it alphabetically. — Jan S., Salem, Ore. Jan, sounds like a military family, like I was in! Anyone who has moved often knows this frustrating dilemma. This is a Handy Heloise Hint. Everyone in the household can go to the file, rather than asking, “Where is (fill in the BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker blank)?” — Heloise TRAVELING COOKIES Dear Heloise: When I visit my grandchildren, I take them cookies.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have a lot of energy to talk to others today and get things done. Nevertheless, privately and on your own, you’re making plans for the future about home and family.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day for business and commerce, because you have the energy to explore new ideas and follow through on plans. Someone older, perhaps a female, will help you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You couldn’t pick a better day to discuss inheritances, shared property, insurance matters or disputes about whatever is jointly held. You will be sensible and steadfast.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charismatic and often influence others, especially your own circle. This is because you are

knowledgeable and provocative! You amaze people. This is the year you have been waiting for. It’s a time of expansion and great activity. A major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2005. It’s time to try your wings!

Straight losses on Monday Night Football by the Rams, longest active streak in the NFL.

National Digest

Postponed KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The last two times the Kansas City Royals played a postseason game at home, rain fell after the final out. This time, it started well before the first pitch.

Game 3 of the AL Championship Series between the Royals and Baltimore Orioles was postponed Monday because of steady rain that saturated Kauffman Stadium.

The game was rescheduled for Tuesday at 8:07 p.m. EDT. Along with steady rain, wind gusts of 25 mph were buffeting the ballpark.

The forecast for Tuesday is cold and windy but dry, with weather improving the rest of the week.

The Royals, who lead the best-of-seven series 2-0, will keep former Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie on the mound for Game 3. The Orioles will start Wei-Yin Chen, as planned.

Mount Ayr upsets SW Valley to advance to POI semis

CORNING — Mount Ayr flipped the script on Southwest Valley here on Monday, upsetting the Timberwolves and advancing to tonight’s Pride of Iowa Conference Tournament semifinals in Afton.

Just four days after Southwest Valley overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeat the Raiderettes 2-1 in the Clarinda Triangular, the Raiderettes repaid the favor in the first round of the POI Tournament.

Southwest Valley won a back and forth first game, 25-22, before Mount Ayr went on a big run in the second game to earn a 25-17 win, eventually polishing off the victory with a 15-4 win

Davis was sacked five times, twice each by Brooks and Dan Skuta. They carried the day, keeping the St. Louis Rams offense stalled, and giving Colin Kaepernick a chance to warm up in a 31-17 victory on Monday night.

Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns for the 49ers, who erased an early 14-point deficit. The defense stepped up again when Dontae Johnsonreturned an interception return for a TD in the final minute to seal it.

earlier in the night, with Mount Ayr overcoming a 1-0 deficit in that match, as well.

“We had a practice last night and our girls pretty much just showed up to practice, and I knew we were going to definitely be competitive tonight,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby said. “We did just that. We knew we wanted Southwest Valley again, and the only way they were going to do that was to get through Martensdale.”

Winston trouble TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Even as Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says he believes quarterback Jameis Winston didn’t sign autographs for money, a source tells ESPN that the university’s athletic compliance department has begun to look into how so many Winston autographs were authenticated by a single company.

ESPN has learned that after the team’s 38-20 win Saturday against Syracuse, Fisher approached Winston and asked him if he signed autographs for money. Winston told Fisher, according to the source, that he did not.

Fisher then told reporters he wasn’t concerned that an autograph authentication business, which recently was linked to suspended Georgia running back Todd Gurley, also was linked to Winston.

A cursory search on JSA’s website found more than 340 certified Winston autographs. An additional search later on Monday revealed 600 more Winston autographs that had been authenticated and logged into the company’s website verification system for a total of more than 950 autographs.

Southwest Valley’s Katie Taylor receives a serve while teammate Lexi Bronner looks on during Southwest Valley’s 2-1 loss to Mount Ayr on Monday.

The complexion of the match changed midway through the second game, with Southwest Valley holding onto an 11-8 lead after a Jade Petersen kill.

Mount Ayr got a side out, which brought sophomore Tessa Shields to the service line. Shields served four consecutive aces, and

added a fifth ace later in an eightp o i n t service run that sprung the Raid- T. Shields erettes ahead 17-11.

“She can really mix it up, whether she’s going to go hard right at them or if she’s going to serve soft,” Braby said. “She can serve a floater. She just kind of learned that this year.”

Serve receive was problematic for the Timberwolves in the second game, as Blair Glendenning and Sadie Frost each served an ace in the game, as well.

“Unforced errors is a huge issue we’ve been trying to work on,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “I don’t know how many we had in game.

We had 34 total unforced errors against Mount Ayr, and you’re not going to win a match making that many unforced errors on yourself. Serve receive was an issue. We weren’t moving our feet.”

Tied at one game apiece, the two teams traded points early in the winnertake-all game three.

An Allie Shields tip over the net gave Mount Ayr a 7-3 lead, and brought Macy Larsen to the service line.

Larsen served seven points in a row, as the Timberwolves continued to make unforced errors, giving the Raiderettes a 14-3 lead in the race to 15 points. The match eventually ended as Southwest Valley hit into the net.

“It feels great,” Braby said about moving on to the semifinals. “It’s been a long time since Mount Ayr has gotten pas the first round. It’s a great accomplishment for these girls and they deserve it.”

Other teams advancing to tonight’s semifinal round were Nodaway Valley, Central Decatur and Bedford.

Braby said a big part of Monday night’s wins was passing.

“One of the things we’ve been working on is passing,” she said. “Passing is everything. If our passes are not on, we can’t hit, we can’t set. Our girls in the back row decided they were going to start playing and they weren’t going to let those girls attack on them.”

Iowa State sees improvement Spartans 1-3 at in QB Richardson DMACC Invite

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Iowa State spent years trying to figure out what it had in quarterback Sam Richardson. The Cyclones have learned he might be their most valuable player.

Richardson set a school record with 37 completions in Iowa State’s 37-30 win over Toledo last weekend.

He also threw for 351 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while rallying the Cyclones (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) past the Rockets and keeping their slim bowl hopes alive.

Richardson, a junior, has thrown 10 TD passes with just four picks through six games and is Iowa State’s leading rusher with 283 yards.

Richardson’s numbers aren’t overwhelming, but hold up considering the injuries that have decimated Iowa State’s receiving corps and its ongoing struggle with the running game.

“Sam’s level of play has been very important in keeping us competitive,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “He was really, really good in the second half in that (Toledo) game and we need him to remain that way and even keep improving.”

The Cyclones travel to face Texas (2-4, 1-2) on Saturday.

In hindsight, Richardson’s remarkable 2012 debut — 23 of 27 passing for 250 yards and four TDs off the bench at Kansas — looks more like a fluke than an indicator of future performance.

But Richardson is also better now than he looked last year while fighting through injuries to his throwing thumb and leg during what was essentially a lost sophomore season. He completed 55 percent of his passes, threw six interceptions and lost the starting job to Grant Rohach.

Richardson fell even further behind in spring ball, but made vast improve-

ments in fall practice, impressing Rhoads and offensive coordinator Mark Mangino so much that they made him the starter again.

So far, it looks like Rhoads and Mangino made the right call.

Since a close loss to No. 14 Kansas State on Sept. 6, Richardson has thrown nine TD passes with just one interception. He was arguably the best player in the 20-17 win at Iowa, throwing for 255 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and he ran for 99 yards in the Cyclones’ loss No. 4 Baylor on Sept.

27.

Against Toledo, Richardson threw all three TD passes in the second half as Iowa State overcame a shaky start by stepping up its offensive tempo.

“We’ve grown a lot as an offense, and the trust is continuing to grow,” Richardson said.

CLARINDA — Southwest Valley picked up a pair of 2-1 wins here Thursday at the Clarinda Triangular, defeating the host Cardinals and Mount Ayr. Mount Ayr dropped both of its matches.

“Tonight didn’t roll too much in our favor,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby said. “We did not show much during our first match against Clarinda. We could not do anything right. It was just one of those games.”

Mount Ayr rebounded to take the first game against Southwest Valley, before the Timberwolves picked up wins of 25-22 and 15-6 in the final two games for the win.

“We finally got going in game two and became more aggressive,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “We also needed to adjust our block, because (Kelcie) Shields was getting some kills going around our block. It was good to see all Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 8A

Tuneup Southwest Valley, meanwhile, has one final tuneup before postseason tournaments start. The Timberwolves host Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson and Shenandoah on Thursday in a triangular.

“I think we need to improve our mental game,” Wetzel said. “From my standpoint, I don’t see the play to win attitude. I see the let’s play not to lose, and they saw tonight what that gets us. We need kids to step up and be leaders.

Teams know we rely on Marie (Palmer) and we rely on her a lot. We need other kids to step up.”

Mount Ayr’s Alyssa Johnson receives a serve during the Raiderettes’ 2-1 win over Martensdale-St. Marys on Monday.

CYCLONES: Continued from page 7A

around Richardson have diminished, but his progress hasn’t.

Iowa State lost wide receiver Quenton Bundrage — perhaps the program’s most talented player — for the season in the opener, and promising sophomore P.J. Harris is also out for the rest of 2014.

Senior sparkplug Jarvis West missed last week’s win with a foot injury, though Rhoads expects him to return against the Longhorns.

The Cyclones also haven’t gotten more than 3.4 yards per carry from any of their top three running backs, so

defenses haven’t had to worry too much about getting beat on the ground.

Yet, if the rest of the team can mirror Richardson’s improvement, the Cyclones might push for a bowl bid despite a 1-4 start.

“The main thing is wanting to hit more deep balls in games and taking advantage of those. But I feel pretty comfortable back there, especially with the front that we have, and the receivers are going make plays when the ball is there,” Richardson said. ___ Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter: www.twitter.com/ LukeMeredithAP
