Meet the candidates

Tim Ennis of Corning and Tom Moore of Griswold vie for vacant Iowa House District 21 seat. A special election will be Dec. 8.

As the Dec. 8 special election for an open Iowa House seat draws closer, two candidates are looking to land their first term in the state legislature.

Tim Ennis, D-Corning, and Tom Moore, R-Griswold, will vie for the seat left vacant following the death of Rep. Jack Drake, R-Griswold, in October.

House District 21 includes all of Union and Adams counties and portions of Pottawattomie and Cass counties.

With just more than two weeks left until Election Day, here’s a quick look at the candidates, their backgrounds and the issues that are important to them.

Tim Ennis, D-Corning Ennis bio Ennis, 68, is no stranger to House District 21, or to the election process.

One year ago, Ennis faced Drake in the regular House election. Drake won with 60 percent of the vote.

Ennis was the lone Democratic candidate to file for this year’s special election and cemented his nomination during the Democratic nominating convention Nov. 12 in Massena.

Ennis spent his early life on his family’s dairy farm in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. After high school, he accepted a scholarship to the University of Chicago and graduated in 1970 with a degree in economics.

In 1971, Ennis moved to Adams County to work for the then Corning-based National Farmers Organization Inc. From 1997 to 2004, Ennis worked on a program for beginning farmers called Ag Connect. Ennis has served on several local

boards and committees, including 10 years as chairman of the Adams County Extension Council.

Ennis is currently director of grain marketing for National Farmers Organization and vice chairman of the Adams County Democrats.

The issues Ennis said a major issue for him in the upcoming term is school funding. He said he did not agree with Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad’s line-item veto of a bipartisan compromise to send $55.7 million in one-time funding to local schools.

“I’m very dissatisfied after a hard effort by both sides to work out a compromise,” Ennis said. “I think school is our first responsibility. I think it’s one of the best things about America.

Everybody is entitled to an education, and I think that’s a first responsibility.”

Ennis said he’s also concerned about Branstad’s move to privatize Medicaid. He said the estimates that it will save money are suspect and there “seems to be some smoke” in how the process is being carried out.

He said there also seem to be some “black marks” on the records of a few of the companies involved.

“I believe that the people who’ve been doing it in the state system have done a good job, and I’m afraid that if there are any cost savings it will be at the expense of diminished services,” he said.

Ennis describes himself as a compromiser and a negotiator, and he said he’s willing to work with both sides to get things done.

“I believe that nobody should expect to have everything that they want,” Ennis said. “Even though I would be only one of 100 (representatives), I believe it would be a step in the right direction for a more balanced process in how we use our resources.”

Ennis lives in Corning with his wife, Kathy, and they will celebrate their 44th anniversary before the election. They have three grown children — Dustin, Carrie and Jillian — and three grandchildren.

Tom Moore, R-Griswold Bio Moore, 63, emerged from a crowded Republican field during the Republican Party’s special nominating convention in Corning Nov. 10. The retired teacher received 60.7 percent of the vote, defeating five other Republican candidates on

the first ballot of the night.

Moore spent his early life in Grinnell and attended Westmar College in Le Mars, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in education. Moore then taught and coached seven years in Grinnell before moving to Griswold, where he would teach a variety of subjects and coach for another 26.

Moore also holds a master’s degree in physical education with an emphasis in athletic administration from Northwest Missouri State University.

Following his retirement, Moore went to work as assistant manager at Southwest Iowa Egg Cooperative, a position he retired from in June of this year.

Moore is currently in the middle of his second fouryear term as a member of the Griswold Board of Education.

Moore said it was his background teaching American history and the Constitution that spurred him to run.

“I always had a fascination and an ambition to seek a legislative spot,” Moore said. “But I never really had the time or the opportunity because with the teaching job, I couldn’t give up half the school year to spend at the legislature.”

Ricky De Hamer and Michael Brentnall sit next to each other, laughing at a joke someone said or discussing the best places to hunt and fish in southwest Iowa.

The camaraderie is apparent even during the short interview De Hamer and Brentnall have with the Creston News Advertiser Thursday, where together they discuss a change in ownership of Michael Brentnall, CPA, a tax and accounting business Brentnall has owned for the past five years.

“I’ll keep the retirement part, the administration of retirement plans and things like that,” Brentnall said.

“But, the major work is in the tax work and accounting he’ll be taking over.

He’s a lot younger, a lot smarter and better looking.”

Brentnall Brentnall, 72, left for California after graduating from college. He worked in San Francisco and Palo Alto before returning to Creston, his hometown, in 1973 and managing the medical clinic.

“And then, in 2010, the physicians went to work for the hospital, and I set up my own practice at that time,” Brentnall said. “I wasn’t

always done something.

Still, like now, I’m still going to do the investment side of it, the retirement plans.”

Trust Ex, the business attached to Michael Brentnall, CPA, is a retirement and data processing company. Brentnall is maintaining that side of the business, while De Hamer purchases the accounting side.

“I was born and raised Brentnall h e r e .

We’ve raised kids here.

It’s been very beneficial, in my opinion. It’s De Hamer a good community,” Brentnall said. “The people. I guess I’ll miss the people the most.”

Brentnall said he decided to sell his accounting business because he lost respect for and no longer trusted those in the federal government.

“I just look forward to him taking over,” Brentnall said. “He’s a much younger person, and there’s opportunities here. I think he will CPA | 2A

“I’ve actually got a couple clients in Creston, so it’s been a nice transition since I have a few people I’ve been working with here,” De Hamer said.

There will be no other change in the accounting business, including no change in employee numbers.

“I think it’s good for Creston to continue to have people providing them services here, where they don’t have to leave Creston,” De Hamer said. “For somebody to come here and not just provide them a service, but, in my opinion, provide them a good service, is obviously helpful for everybody.”

Thanks to his experience in corporate accounting with Hormel, De Hamer understands building relationships with small-town clients, something he says will be the most rewarding part of becoming a part of Creston more wholly.

“The role of a tax person in a smaller community is to be part of that company and help them with financial decisions, and I think Ricky will do a great job in that,” Brentnall said.

De Hamer and his wife, who currently have a two and a-half year-old daughter and another child on the way, live in Cumming, where he commutes to Creston and Holly commutes to Des Moines to her job at Pine Ridge Farms.

“Like with anything, there’s always some new things you’re going to be learning, just like in any job someone takes on,” De Hamer said. “I was feeling a little bit of everything. I’m definitely excited with all the different opportunities here.”

De Hamer De Hamer, 31, is formerly of Johnston. He graduated from Central College in Pella with a degree in accounting before moving to Austin, Minnesota, where he worked for Hormel for eight years and met Holly Hanson, formerly of Creston, who became his wife.

“I knew that Creston is a good community to work in and be a part of,” De Hamer said. “That’s how I feel like I’m pretty familiar with Creston. Ever since we started dating, I’ve been coming here.”

De Hamer Accounting Services, the new name for Michael Brentnall, CPA, will go into a transition year Jan. 1, where De Hamer can still get tips and help from Brentnall if needed. Then, Jan. 1, 2017, the business will formally be owned by De Hamer.

“When you’re purchasing a practice, you’re partnering with the person you’re purchasing the practice from, and you’re also partnering with their clients,” De Hamer said. “You want to make sure it’s a good match with the person you’re purchasing from, and you want to make sure it’s a good match with the clients.”

De Hamer Accounting Services began approximately 30 years ago, when his father began his own practice under the name. De Hamer said he has been working with his father ever since, as well as in corporate account-

Eligible homebuyers will benefit from increments up to $5,000 through ISSB as a result of the Homeowner-

“This is a great program for low to moderate income borrowers in our lending area who need that extra little help in covering their costs to purchase their first home, and without it, would not have been able to purchase the home,” said Ty Rogers, vice president of ISSB.

“Finances are going to be a major thing,” he said. “I’m a believer that we’ve got to keep government out of our lives as much as we can. Tax reduction — or minimizing taxes to support a state budget that is balanced — is very important to me.”

Regarding the debate over school funding, Moore said it’s an important issue that ultimately comes down to the available budget.

However, he said some distinctions need to be made.

“I think we’ve got to start drawing a line between what we are actually doing for kids and what are the problems that the legislature and the national Deptartment of Education are creating for local school boards and local school districts with all their unfunded mandates,” Moore said.

Moore lives in Griswold with Jewell, his wife of 30 years. They have three grown children: Kaitlan, Thomas and Lauren.

Two racks per room?

Dear Readers: Here’s this week’s SOUND OFF, about luggage racks.

“Many people read your column, and I would like to make a public request: All lodging-type establishments should provide two luggage racks in every room.

“Many people travel alone and probably need only one, but as a frequently traveling couple, each of us would like to have one.

“We shouldn’t have to reserve a room with two beds so that we can have one for our luggage, but we often do.” — Pat K., Cypress, Texas Pat, I feel your pain, because when my husband, David, and I travel, he ends up putting his things on a chair. Sometimes I use a luggage rack, and other times I don’t. When traveling alone, I, too, ask for two double beds, and the second one becomes my extra desk.

Request an extra rack when you check in, or pull out the ironing board, set it up against a wall and voila — extra space! It may depend on the hotel/motel; generally, the lower-priced places don’t have them. It does cost the establishment to put one in every room, and two would make the cost of your room go up! Some “guests” will steal ANYTHING from a motel room that is not tied or anchored down! — Heloise (Too

Hints from Heloise many miles and too many hotels!)

— Heloise VERSATILE JACKET Dear Readers: It’s time for festivals, craft shows and women’s shows. Years ago, I found a beautiful, quilted, lightweight jacket — blue, green, sort of patchwork, with lovely beading and some netting. It screamed “Me!” I looked closely and discovered that the quilted jacket

was well-lined with a beautiful turquoise fabric, the seams were finished, and I thought, “Hmmm.” I turned it inside out and discovered I could wear it with the lining side out.

All I did was carefully clip the tag from the neck area.

I got two jackets for the price of one — great for travel! When shopping, check handmade and commercial items. They may serve double duty. — Heloise SHELF MILK Dear Heloise: A friend told me about milk that doesn’t need to be refrigerated until opened.

Horoscope Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful in discussions about politics, religion or racial issues. You might listen to a serious, respected teacher; nevertheless, you might be confused, or even deceived.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re serious about inheritances, shared property, mortgages and debt today. But there also is an element of confusion and deceit present.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Communication with partners and close friends is difficult today. Your mind is sharp and clear, but someone might oppose you or be critical.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone older or more experienced might be on your case at work today. Or perhaps your bones are achy or you have teeth problems. Ouch.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Children might be an increased responsibility today. Be careful about their welfare, because bad food, poisons and chemical reactions are possible in a threatening way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone older in the family might squelch your ideas today. This is a disappointment to you. Don’t worry, because you are going to take care of domestic matters this year.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You are worried about something today, and someone older or more experienced might even feed your worries.

Don’t put someone on a pedestal. Think with your own mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Money is scarce today. This could delude you into falling for a get-rich-quick scheme or a quick little scam on the side.

Don’t do it. Definitely, don’t do it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might have to say goodbye to someone today; this could be painful. But in truth, your pain could be related to the illusion of the separation, which is really not as bad as you think.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You probably will have to give up something today.

However, you’re confused about how to do it or what to choose. Make a decision where you have the least regret.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Conversations with someone older and more experienced are difficult today. You might be afraid that you’re going to give something away if you speak. Make sure others are truthful with you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to talk to bosses and authority figures about anything important. For starters, they won’t be cooperative. Second, they might not be straight with you. Yikes.

YOU BORN TODAY You are very involved with others. You

like the company of people, and they like your spirited energy.

You are loyal and quick to fight for what is right. This year you have something important to learn. It might not be apparent in the first half of the year, but soon your efforts of the past six years will manifest results!

Enjoy the outdoors more.

The Numbers Game

7

The number of times Arizona has scored 30+ points this season, most in the NFL.

National Digest

Hawks No. 3 (AP) — Iowa moved to No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll, taking advantage of the first losses by Ohio State and Oklahoma State to slip in behind No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Alabama.

Notre Dame is fourth and Oklahoma is fifth.

The unbeaten Hawkeyes (11-0) have their best ranking since being No. 3 in 2002.

They have clinched the Big Ten West and a spot in the conference title on Dec. 5.

Michigan State jumped three spots to No. 6 after upsetting Ohio State 17-14 on Saturday. The Buckeyes, who began the season as a unanimous No. 1 and slipped to No. 2 earlier this month, fell to eighth.

Oklahoma State’s 45-35 loss to Baylor dropped the Cowboys from fourth to ninth and pushed Baylor to seventh.

Record tied DENVER (AP) — Who’s counting? The Golden State Warriors certainly are. The wins are piling up, and they’re moving closer to NBA history.

But they’re focused not so much on a number as winning in general.

Klay Thompson scored 21 points and the Warriors tied the best start in league history, beating the Denver Nuggets 118-105 on Sunday night to move to 15-0.

Golden State matches the start of the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and the `93-94 Houston Rockets. The Warriors can break the record Tuesday night at home against the Los Angeles Lakers.

First title HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Kyle Busch opened the season in a hospital bed and ended it in victory lane with the championship trophy.

Busch completed the ultimate comeback Sunday night by winning his first career Sprint Cup title just nine months after a serious crash at Daytona nearly ended his season. He crashed into a concrete wall the day before the Daytona 500 and broke his right leg and left foot.

Despite multiple surgeries and grueling rehabilitation, Busch missed only 11 races and was back in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in late May. NASCAR granted him a waiver to race for the championship if he earned a berth in the playoffs, and Busch was off and running.

He won the season finale Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway to claim the title, and knocked Kevin Harvick from his perch as reigning champion.

Busch also denied Jeff Gordon a fifth crown in his final race. Gordon said before the season started he’d retire after this race.

Small senior group guided Panthers’ playoff push

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

Small in numbers, large in dedication.

That’s how Creston/O-M head football coach Brian Morrison described the nine seniors that made up a key part of this year’s playoff team that knocked off District 8 top seed Harlan before falling to back-to-back 3A champion Pella in the second round.

Before introducing the seniors individually at the team’s postseason awards banquet Sunday night at the Creston High School commons, Morrison spoke on how this year’s seniors helped bridge the gap from the 2014 senior-laden state semifinalist team to this year’s successful transition, earning another playoff trophy in a 6-5 season.

“Those guys’ numbers in junior high football was in the upper 20s,” Morrison said. “For whatever reason those kids didn’t stick it out.

So we have nine kids that did for us, for four years, and they’ve been a part of some good things in Creston football.”

“It was an honor to have them this year,” Morrison said. “There are a lot of people within our district, opposing teams, that would have looked on Quikstats after last year and seen that we lost our quarterback, our receivers, we lost this and lost that. Well, we knew we had an underclassmen group coming up in our sophomores and juniors who could help us. The biggest question mark was, could these seniors lead the football team?”

Spartan women win third in a row

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

WINNEBAGO, Neb. — The Southwestern Community College women’s basketball team reeled off its third win in a row here Saturday, opening ICCAC league play with a 70-61 win over Little Priest Tribal College.

After sitting in a 15-15 tie after one quarter, Southwestern took a halftime lead of 30-24. Little Priest Tribal College closed to within 4743 after the third quarter, but Southwestern outscored the Warriors 23-18 in the fourth quarter to pull away for the victory.

Julanie Carter led four

Spartan players in double figures with 27 points, s i n k ing five 3-pointers. Car- J. Carter ter also grabbed six rebounds in the victory.

Olivia Reifert continued her string of double-doubles, recording her third in a row with 13 points and Reifert

season opener, but rebounded to win the next three games over Clarinda, Winterset and Greene County.

Glenwood derailed the run in the Panthers’ homecoming game Sept. 25.

Creston/O-M then lost two of the next three games against ADM, Harlan and Dallas Center-Grimes. The regular season ended in a big victory over Atlantic in the rain, followed by a convincing 34-11 playoff triumph at Harlan.

Harlan, DC-G and Glenwood were tri-champions of District 8 at 5-1, with Harlan earning the top seed in the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s point differ-

ential system. Creston/O-M was the district’s fourth qualifier at 3-3, and 5-4 overall, one game in front of Winterset.

Pella showed it’s explosiveness in a 52-27 second-round win to end the Panthers’ season. Last Thursday, the Little Dutch defeated Norwalk 31-17 for its second straight 3A crown while running their winning streak to 28 games.

Running back Chase Shiltz ran for 308 yards against Pella on his way to more than 1,000 yards in his final three games of a record-breaking season, despite suffering what was determined to be a broken

hand in the Harlan playoff game. He finished with 2,542 yards for the season and 3,792 Shiltz for the past two years, both program season and career records. He had a Class 3A-leading 35 touchdowns.

Maitlen became the program’s leading all-time tackler last season and led the squad again this year.

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads dismissed

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Paul Rhoads was one of the most popular coaches at Iowa State. He just didn’t win enough to keep his job.

Iowa State said that athletic director Jamie Pollard told Rhoads on Sunday that he’s out after seven seasons.

Rhoads went 32-54 with the Cyclones. But he won just eight games in his final three seasons as the

program slipped back into mediocrity.

Rhoads led Iowa State to just its third bowl win in his first season. But Iowa State is 3-8 this season; blowing a 35-28 lead with 1:31 to go in Saturday’s loss at Kansas State.

Iowa State signed Rhoads to a 10-year, $20 million contract before the 2012 season. Rhoads is due a buyout of roughly $4.5 million under the terms of that deal.

Rhoads will coach his final game with Iowa State

on Saturday at West Virginia.

He and Pollard will be available for comment on Monday.

Rhoads, a defensive coordinator at Pitt (200007) and Auburn (2008), was something of an unknown commodity when he was hired to replace Gene Chizik before the 2009 season. But Rhoads quickly won over a weary fan base by finishing 7-6 and beating Minnesota in RHOADS | 7A

Spartans cruise in league opener

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

WINNEBAGO, Neb. — The Southwestern Community College men’s basketball team shot its way past Little Priest Tribal College here Saturday, 102-68.

The Spartans improved to 6-2 overall for the season and 1-0 in ICCAC play.

Southwestern hosts North Central Missouri at 7:30 tonight.

Southwestern led 50-28 at halftime and never saw its lead shrink below 18 points in the second half.

With Little Priest not playing a deep rotation, the Warriors played a 3-2 zone for most of the game, opening up the Spartan shooters.

“We pretty much got any wide open jump shot you

could ever ask for,” Southwestern head coach Todd Lorensen said. “When we were making them, that was obviously good. We had a couple of stretches where we missed four or five in a row and started throwing them up after one pass.

“We called a couple of timeouts and talked about being patient and maybe getting the ball inside on a post entry pass or dribble penetration. They did a good job of coming out of timeouts and making adjustments and making some baskets for us.”

Lorensen said the Warriors were a tough team to defend, because they like to spread the floor out and are unpredictable with their shot selection — shooting MEN | 7A

By STEVE REED AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton has never liked being referred to as a running quarterback.

“I have labelled myself as a pocket passer with the ability to run,” Newton said.

Newton proved again he can beat t e a m s with his a r m , throwing a career-high f i v e t o u c h - Newton d o w n passes on Sunday and the Carolina Panthers improved to 10-0 with a dominating 44-16 win over the Washington Redskins.

Newton completed 21 of 34 passes for 246 yards and threw TD passes to five different receivers as Carolina stretched its regular-season win streak to 14 games, including eight straight at home.

The Panthers opened a four-game lead in the NFC South over Atlanta and became the 16th team in the Super Bowl era to start 10-0.

Of the previous 15, all made the playoffs and nine have advanced to the Super Bowl, with six winning it all.

All of that matters little to tight end Greg Olsen.

“They don’t give out trophies for the regular season,” Olsen said.

Carolina’s defense was dominant.

They forced five turnovers leading to 27 points, had five sacks of Kirk Cousins and established a franchise record by holding the Redskins to 14 Cousins y a r d s rushing on 12 carries.

“Between the fumbles and the picks, we had a couple short fields,” Olsen said. “You’ve got to take advantage of them. We didn’t sit on them. I know we scored a lot of touchdowns, and that’s obviously what you’re looking for.”

Newton became the first Carolina quarterback in franchise history to throw four TD passes in the first half as the Panthers jumped out to a 31-14 lead.

Jonathan Stewart ran for 102 yards on 21 carries and caught a 12-yard touchdown pass. Olsen, Mike Tolbert, Ted Ginn Jr. and Devin Funchess also caught TD passes.

“He has a good command of what we’re doing out there,” Rivera said of Newton, who has 20 TD passes this season — four shy of his career high with six games left to play.

Andre Roberts had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown for the Redskins (4-6), who’ve lost nine straight on the road.

Cousins finished 22 of

30 for 207 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also fumbled twice on sacks. Running back Alfred Morris left the game early in the first quarter with a rib injury and did not return.

With the game tied at 14 in the second quarter, Newton led an eight-play, 92-yard touchdown drive, capping it with a 2-yard TD pass to Ginn.

The Redskins had a 74yard interception return for a touchdown by cornerback Chris Culliver called back on the drive when officials ruled he had delivered an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit on Olsen before the interception.

The game turned from there with the Panthers scoring 30 consecutive points.

“That’s a 14-point turn right there,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.

“The referee made a decision, made a call, and it’s not challengeable, so there’s really no use talking about it.”

On Washington’s next possession, rookie Matt Jones was stripped of the ball by Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis recovered at the Redskins 24. Newton found Olsen on a crossing route for a 9-yard TD pass to push the lead to 28-14.

Kony Ealy had a stripsack of Cousins on Washington’s next possession and recovered the ball at the Carolina 38 leading to Graham Gano’s field goal at the end of the first half.

a bowl game.

The early years of his tenure were marked by a series of upsets over the likes of Nebraska and Texas on the road. In 2011, the Cyclones stunned then-second ranked Oklahoma State in double overtime to knock the Cowboys out of national title contention.

Rhoads’ fiery but approachable persona was also a big hit with Iowa State fans, as were his passionate postgame locker room talks.

But all those speeches couldn’t mask a declining on-field product.

Iowa State dipped to 3-9 in 2013, and Rhoads made several changes to his staff.

He brought in former Kansas coach Mark Mangino to fix the offense, which turned disastrous when Mangino and Rhoads part-

from anywhere and at any time.

“They play with a lot of freedom. There’s some guys that will throw in a 24 or 25-footer and they’ll hit two or three in a row,” Lorensen said. “Sophomore Chase Carter had 27 points. I bet there was a stretch in the second half where he hit four or five threes in an eight-possession span.”

Calvin Chambers made his return to the Spartan lineup after missing four games with Chambers an injury.

ed ways earlier this season.

The Cyclones won twice last season, performing so badly in their finale that the playoff committee bumped TCU out of the top four despite beating Iowa State by 52 points.

Iowa State entered this season with a newly-expanded stadium that gave the program some life. But a 31-17 loss to Iowa and blowout defeats against Texas Tech, TCU and Oklahoma sent the Cyclones to the bottom of the Big 12.

The Cyclones blew a 17-point lead in a home loss at Oklahoma State in their home finale on Nov. 14.

But the final blow to Rhoads’ tenure came in Manhattan on Saturday.

Iowa State chose to run the ball rather than take a knee with 91 seconds left and fumbled; allowing the Wildcats to pull off a stun-

ning comeback.

The real question for Iowa State is where it goes from here.

The Cyclones will be searching for a new coach during what should be one of the most hectic offseasons the sport has ever had.

Places like Missouri, Virginia Tech, Illinois, Maryland, Southern California and South Carolina are looking for new coaches, and Iowa State’s reputation as a “coaching graveyard” should leave them well down in the pecking order. ___ AP College Football site: http://www.collegefootball. ap.org ___ Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter at www.twitter. com/LukeMeredithAP and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LukeMeredithAP

He chipped in 13 points.

“He was limited in minutes, because we didn’t want to have his injury aggravated,” Lorensen said. “He was definitely creating a lot of open looks for other guys.

He has a different gear that those guys don’t have.”

KeShawn Wilson led five Spartans in double figures with 17 points on four made 3-pointers.

Terrance Smith saw Wilson increased minutes after being in foul trouble for much of Southwestern’s previous game and scored nine points.

“We’re finally healthy and I think as a group, we’ve got a quiet confidence about us,” Lorensen said. “We understand there’s a lot of work to be done, but I think the guys are starting to see some results.

UNBEATEN: CONT. FROM | 6A

Carolina’s momentum carried into the second half as Bene Benwikere sacked Cousins on the first play from scrimmage on a cornerback blitz, jarring the ball loose and recovering at the Redskins 20. Newton found Funchess for his franchise-tying fifth TD pass of the game to give Carolina a 38-14 lead.

With a game on Thursday at Dallas, Panthers coach Ron Rivera removed most of his starters early in the fourth quarter with his team up 44-14.

“They’re undefeated for a reason,” Cousins said.

“It doesn’t just happen on accident. They have great players and a great scheme, and they have several players who’ve played in this

system for several years.

You see the fruit of that in how they’ve played this season.”

Washington’s loss comes one week after a 47-14 win over the New Orleans Saints.

“Last week, we felt pretty good — top of the mountain,” Gruden said. “It’s a humbling game.”

NOTES: Roberts’ 99yard kickoff for a touchdown was the first allowed by the Panthers in 100 games. ... Olsen became the Panthers career leader in yards receiving by a tight end, passing Wesley Walls. ... The Panthers have run for at least 100 yards in 21 straight games. ___ AP NFL website: www. pro32.ap.org and http:// twitter.com/AP_NFL

CLINTON (AP) — Pledging to invest in the “caring economy,” Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed a new tax break Sunday for people car- Clinton ing for aging parents and grandparents.

The Democratic presidential candidate touted her latest proposal at a town hall-style meeting in Iowa Sunday. She is seeking a tax credit to help offset up to $6,000 in caregiving costs for elderly family members. The credit would apply to 20 percent of those expenses for a maximum tax bill savings of $1,200.

“We need to recognize the value of the work that caregivers give to all of us, both those who are paid and the great number who are unpaid,” Clinton said to the crowd of more than 400 people gathered at a middle school.

The caregiver proposal is part of a series of tax proposals geared at the middle class that Clinton is rolling out. In her plan, Clinton states that the number of Americans needing long-term care is ex-

pected to grow from about 12 million today to 27 million by 2050. She says that family members often have to take time away from work, using vacation time or personal time to provide care.

“The lost wages and the work that is sometimes given up are costing families— especially women— who make up the majority of both paid and unpaid caregivers,” said Clinton.

The former secretary of state is also seeking to provide additional Social Security benefits to those who spend time out of the workforce to care for immediate family.

She wants to enhance support for care workers and increase funding for a program that offers state-level grants to programs for caregivers. Clinton’s campaign says the plan would cost $10 billion over 10 years and would be paid for through other revenue increases.

Republican National Committee spokesman Fred Brown questioned the cost of the plan, saying: “Hillary Clinton’s solution to every pressing policy issue is to expand government and raise taxes, and this plan is no different as it will cost hardworking Americans billions.”
