Senate candidate Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, has a friend in Carole King.

The singer/song-writer and four-time Grammy award winner met with sup-porters Friday at the Union County Democrats office, 119 Elm. St., to rouse the democratic base and encour-age people to get out and vote on Braley’s behalf.

“Why am I here in Iowa?” King asked. “Because it mat-ters to the entire country.”

King cited some issues on why she supports Braley; so-cial security and equal pay for equal work.

“Isn’t that a no-brainer?” King asked. “If you’re a man, doesn’t that affect your family if your wife is not be-ing paid what she should be paid?”

In the race against Rep. Senate candidate Joni Ernst, King said the democrats have

a tough road ahead to get Braley into office, but, it can be done.

“On one side there is all this money pouring in to demonize Bruce Braley,” King said. “But, on the oth-er side, there is you, there is me, and we have heart. And, that’s the key.”

King said Iowan’s pride themselves on being in-dependent thinkers and thoughtful voters.

“You all know the is-sues,” King said. “I am just

here to say I stand with you. From where I live, I am here to say it’s important to me too.”

Before King left, she said she wanted to do one more thing to communicate how much she appreciated what the Union County Demo-crat volunteers are doing.

“I want to sing with you,” King said. “Will you sing with me?”

King and the crowd erupted in song.

“... you’ve got a friend ...”

F arm officials seek punishment for thieves DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa

farm officials are seeking to en-force a mandatory minimum sen-tence for the felony theft of live-stock and crops.

Delegates of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation met last week to discuss proper punishment for people who steal cattle, hogs, corn, soybeans and other farm property,

the Des Moines Register reported.Some states are seeing an in-

crease of cattle thefts since the price of the animals have reached record highs.

The problem could soon make its way to Iowa, experts say, since the state is expected to raise more cattle in light of low corn prices and a drought in Texas, the lead-

ing producer of cattle in the U.S.Iowa is the top corn-producing

state with nearly 2.2 billion bush-els last year, and is ranked sixth nationally for cattle.

Corey Schultz is a region ex-ecutive officer for the Livestock Marketing Association and works with livestock auctions in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Mis-

souri, Illinois and Indiana.“The rise in cattle numbers, the

rise in prices, you could definitely see a rise in cattle thefts,” Schultz said.

Novice thieves usually don’t steal livestock, according to Larry Gray, executive director of law enforcement for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers As-

sociation.“Anyone can kick down the door

to a house and steal a flat screen TV,” he said. “But to steal cattle — first you have to have the abil-ity to transport those cattle. Then you have to have the knowledge to market the cattle. You can’t run down to the local pawn store and get some money for them.”

Donald Donaldson Lenox

Celebration of Life Ser-vices for D o n a l d E u g e n e Donald-son, age 82, of L e n o x , who died Wednes-d a y September 10, 2014 at the Lenox Care Center were Saturday Septem-ber 13, 2014, at 10 AM at the Sharpsburg Presby-terian Church. Visitation was Friday at the Ritchie Funeral Home in Lenox from 3-7 PM with the fam-ily greeting friends from 6-7 PM. Interment was at the North Fairview Cemetery in Lenox. Memorials may be directed to the Sharps-burg Presbyterian Church. Memories may be shared with the family at www.ritchiefuneralhome.com under Obituaries. Arrange-ments were entrusted to the Ritchie Funeral Home of Lenox.

Donald (Don) Eugene Donaldson was born Janu-ary 14, 1932, at the fam-ily farmstead near Lenox, Iowa It was at this farm where Donald’s par-ents, Robert and Mildred (Grimm) Donaldson, taught him the value of church, farming, and com-passion for his fellow man. Don loved the outdoors and first began to appre-ciate nature by walking the railroad tracks to and from country school. In his eighth grade year of educa-tion, he attended school in Sharpsburg. It was at the Sharpsburg Community School where he found his true love, Betty Brown.

Don and Betty were married at the church par-sonage in Bedford, Iowa, on November 14, 1951. As newlyweds, the couple worked in Clarinda, Iowa, at the State Mental Health Facility before Don was drafted into the United

States Marines Corps dur-ing the Korean conflict. After serving his country, the couple returned to the Sharpsburg area to begin farming and raise their family. To this union three children were born: Craig, John, and their daughter, Donette.

Don was a quiet man, but when he spoke, most peo-ple listened. He was a de-voted husband and father who loved his family very much. He loved Betty’s sib-lings and spouses the same way he cared for his sister and spouse.

One of the children’s favorite memories was when they were small, they would always try to convince their dad to take them to the drive-in on Wednesday night. Often times it worked if the boys had washed the car and Donette had the popcorn popped.

Don loved working with livestock and growing crops, and when his health prevented his participation, he enjoyed observing and hearing stories about the farm. He cared deeply for his community and espe-cially his church. Don bat-tled health issues for sev-eral years, but he remained strong in this faith until his final breath.

Left to cherish his mem-ories are his wife, Betty of 62 years, children, Craig (Rebecca) Donaldson, Do-nette (David) Bish, San-dra Donaldson (late son, John), five grandchildren, Deanna (Quentin) Kuhns, Chelsie (Dan) Zech, Ema-lie (James) Hogan, Samuel Donaldson, and Caroline Bish, three great-grand-children, Lucey and Rubey Zech and Noah Kuhns, Aunt Arlene Grimm, nu-merous nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.

Preceding Don in death were his parents, Robert and Mildred Donaldson, son, John Donaldson, sis-ter, Janette Daggett, and his father and mother in-law, Orville and Ruby Brown.

Christian Silva Creston

Christian Silva, 15, of Cres-ton died Sept. 11, 2014, be-cause of i n j u r i e s sustained from a ve-hicle ac-cident in A d a m s County.

Memorials will be directed to a permanent me-morial in Christian’s name. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Christian was educated at Mayflower Christian School for two years, home schooled through the ninth grade, and currently was a sophomore

at Southwest Valley High School in Corning.

Christian was in youth group at the First Baptist Church in Creston.

Christian is survived by his parents, Manny and Chelsi Silva of Creston; sisters, Al-exa Raye Silva of Los Ange-les, Calif., and Grace Marie Silva and Elizabeth Faith Silva, both of Creston; grand-parents, Alan and Linda Johannes of Bridgewater, JoAnn Stephan of Moreno Valley, Calif., Denny and Ramona Johnson of Carbon, Doris Cooney of Corning, Wes Freemyer of Clearfield, Gloria Barrera of Anaheim, Calif., and Larry and Lu-Anne Johannes of Corning; great-grandparents Chet and Mary Ann Cooper of Dexter; and aunts, Melissa (husband Timothy) Bartlett and Gen-try Johannes; uncles, Jake (wife Chantel) Dixon, Rich-ard (wife Erica) Silva, Angel (wife Vanessa) Silva and Mi-chael (wife Mirna) Silva; and other aunts, uncles, cousins and family.

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about lighting in hotel bathrooms:

“I travel frequently and find that most hotels have terrible lighting over the bathroom sinks. It makes it very diffi-cult to apply makeup. How much could it cost to install a makeup mirror with some magnification? It certainly would be helpful.” — Ellen H. in Florida

Have you been my shadow, in an almost dark hotel/motel bathroom?

I don’t know what they were thinking ... oh, they weren’t! I defy a man to try to shave, pluck a few eyebrow hairs or floss in that dark space. I’ve complained about this for years. I used to have to sit on the sink (yes, readers, many women do this) until my dear husband pointed out that I should check how well the counter is secured! Luckily, I never had an accident. But now I take my makeup and mirror to the window! — He-loise

FAST FACTSDear Readers: Other uses

tacks.• Scoop birdseed.• Hold baking soda for

old daughter decided to draw on a painted wall. Can you help me get the crayon off the wall? — Lucy in Texas

Don’t worry! I can help. Here are some hints to use: First, get a brown paper gro-cery bag and your iron. Set the iron on LOW, hold the paper bag over the marks and care-fully press until the wax comes up.

Another hint? Use a lightly damp sponge and baking soda. GENTLY scrub the marks until they are gone. Baking soda to the rescue again! This is why it is one of my all-time favorites.

Rice appealRay Rice is expected

to appeal his indefinite suspension from the NFL, sources confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Rice was released by the Baltimore Ravens this past Monday, just hours after TMZ released a video of the star running back punching his then-fi-ancee in a casino elevator.

The NFL suspended Rice indefinitely shortly after his release, a far more severe penalty than the two-game suspension initially handed down by the league in July.

Rice must file the ap-peal by 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday — three business days after the NFL offi-cially notified the players’ union of the suspension.RGIII hurt

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Robert Griffin III’s season is in jeopardy af-ter the Washington Red-skins star dislocated his left ankle in the first quar-ter of Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden did not offer a timetable for Griffin’s re-turn, announcing that the third-year quarterback will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. He likely would miss the rest of the season if the medi-cal tests determine that he needs surgery.

Griffin suffered the injury while making an acrobatic, leaping, across-the-body throw near the sideline while being pur-sued by linebacker Paul Posluszny. Griffin landed awkwardly on his ankle as he finished the throw and then tumbled out of bounds.Bears’ comeback

SANTA CLARA, Ca-lif. — Jay Cutler found Brandon Marshall for two of his three fourth-quarter touchdown passes after much of Chicago’s starting defense went down, and the Bears beat the San Francisco 49ers 28-20 Sunday night to spoil their Levi’s Stadium debut.

“The defense did a great job giving us short fields, causing turnovers and keeping it close enough so that we could get back in it,” Cutler said.

Cutler and Marshall clicked as Chicago erased a late 13-point deficit and quieted the sellout crowd. Cutler threw for two scores in a 27-second span early in the final period, aided by the gutsy play of a backup cornerback.

Kyle Fuller made two late interceptions for the depleted Chicago second-ary, and the first set up the go-ahead score.Gold medal

MADRID — With golden confetti raining on their heads and “Party in the U.S.A.” ringing in their ears, it must have been hard for the U.S. basketball players to hear anything.

And just like every oth-er game, the Americans did it easily.

Tournament MVP Ky-rie Irving made all six of his 3-point attempts and scored 26 points, and the U.S. repeated as world champion for the first time by crushing Serbia 129-92 on Sunday in the Basketball World Cup.

Panthers climb out of early hole for 42-34 winBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

It was shaping up as a di-sastrous start to the Class 3A District 8 season for the Creston/O-M Panthers here Friday night.

In a district that appears to be wide open — Harlan stands 1-2 overall and Dallas Center-Grimes owns a loss to state-ranked Pella, and a 7-6 district win over ADM — the Panthers would be stepping in an early hole by losing the dis-trict opener to Winterset.

After 10 plays, Winterset owned a 13-0 lead, thanks to a fumble on a high Panther shotgun snap and an intercep-tion returned to the 2-yard line. Adding insult to injury, Winterset appeared to score a third touchdown moments later, but it was called back on a procedure penalty.

From there, Creston/O-M righted the ship and scored 35 unanswered points during the second and third quarters. The Panthers withstood an-other 13-0 run by the Huskies in the final period to hang on for a wild 42-34 victory.

The Panthers improve to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the district. Winterset, 1-2 in all games, opens district play at 0-1 and coach Zach Sweeney considers it an opportunity that slipped away.

“This was a pivotal game. Now we need some help from other teams in our district,” Sweeney said. “All we can control is next week (home-coming vs. Glenwood). Now Creston has a week to play non-district and get healed up. They get 59 (Cory Rathe) and 82 (Bryce Briley) back, and they’ll be looking pretty good.”

Rathe, a lineman, may return this week at Greene

County (Jefferson) after re-covering from a lower leg (fibula) injury sustained at the summer team camp at North-west Missouri State. Briley, safety and wide receiver, was held out Friday after getting a concussion a week earlier against Clarinda.

Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said it was a big win from a district perspective. After the non-district game this week, the Panthers return to district play at Glenwood against a team that lost a 7-6 game Friday to Atlantic.

“It’s good to get that first district win,” Morrison said. “A lot of teams right now are even in our district, and it’s going to be a dogfight. Having a non-district game next week will help us a ton. Our goal

was to be completely healthy and full go by week five, and right now we’re in the mix to do that.”Horrible start

The Huskies scored on a 74-yard pass play on their third play from scrimmage. Creston/O-M lost the ball on its first play on a high shot-gun snap over quarterback Alex Nielsen, but the Huskies missed a field goal attempt.

Then, on third-and-seven on Creston/O-M next series, Winterset’s Colby Van Pelt returned an interception to the Panther 2-yard line, where running back Brandon Ryer-son scored to make it 13-0.

From there, the Panthers regrouped and went on to take a 35-13 lead late in the

third period. Nielsen threw touchdown passes of 14 yards and 39 yards to Conner Pals, 25 yards to Christian Grou-moutis and 11 yards to Seth Maitlen on a screen pass. Chase Shiltz’s 5-yard rushing touchdown made it 35-13.

“The passing got us go-ing, and then the running game started kicking in,” said Groumoutis, who got open on a post route for his 25-yard TD reception that gave the Panthers a 14-13 lead in the second quarter.

Then, with 40 seconds left in the half, Pals got open on a wheel route on the left side for a 39-yard touchdown. Ear-lier he lined up in a triple wide receiver formation and ran a corner route for a 14-yard TD.

“The injury to Briley kind of changed things up in the receiving corps,” Nielsen said. “So Pals played where Mc-Clain (Haines) usually plays, and McClain moved posi-tions. Pals was playing more receiver tonight.”

Pals, who normally shares running back duties on of-fense with C h a s e S h i l t z while also s t a r t i n g at corner-back, said the team didn’t pan-ic when falling be-hind 13-0 in the opening min-utes.

“We started slow, but that’s the way football is some-times,” Pals said. “Our motto is FINISH, and we just had to get up and keep going. There’s a lot of heart on our team.”

“We were down 13 but we just had to get it going,” Nielsen added. “We know we need to come out of the gates better than that. We knew we were the better team.”Huskies rebound

Then, trailing 35-13, Win-terset rose back up and put together three scoring drives to get back into contention.

The first TD, however, was immediately answered by Creston/O-M on a 65-yard scamper down the left sideline by freshman running back Mitchel Swank, giving the Panthers a little more cushion at 42-21. Swank fin-ished with 98 yards rushing on five carries.

“He was injured, had ag-gravated an injury in his hip,”

Panthers win Fillie title!Creston 6-0 in knocking off defending champs

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

SHENANDOAH — Creston went 6-0 on the day in winning its first weekend tournament championship in several years here Satur-day.

Avenging a loss in last year’s finals, the Panthers knocked off host Shenan-doah 16-21, 21-12, 15-10 to capture the first-place trophy at the Fillie Invita-tional.

Creston lost just one set all day, sweeping through pool play against Stanton, Essex, Rock Port (Mo.) and Fremont-Mills before a 21-10, 21-11 triumph over Bedford in the semifinals.

Shenandoah, 4-0 in pool play, whipped Fremont-Mills in the semifinals 21-10, 21-12 before falling to the Panthers in the finals.

Fremont-Mills beat Bedford in two sets to fin-ish third. Stanton defeat-ed Southwest Valley 2-1 to take fifth. Essex beat Lenox 2-1 in the seventh-place match.

Representing Creston on the all-tournament team were middle hitter Natalie Mos tek , s e t t e r H a n n a L u t h e r and de-f e n s i v e specialist A l y s s a Higgins. They join three Fil-lies in Jordan Major, Ser-ena Parker and Sydney Nielsen.

Area players on the all-tournament team include Bedford’s Callyn Bonde and Rachel Armstrong, Katie Dukes of Lenox and Southwest Valley’s Marie Palmer.

It was a long day for the Panthers, but they stayed consistent from the start.

“We got on the bus at 6:30 a.m. and started play-ing at 8:30 a.m.,” coach Pol-ly Luther said. “We got off and were ready to go.”

The championship match started after 3:30 p.m.

“I’m proud we got a tro-phy for the trophy case. It represents what these girls are about,” said coach Polly Luther. “I expect a lot out of these girls, but they ex-pect a lot out of each other, too. They came out and took care of business.”

Earning the win over Shenandoah, which topped Creston in last year’s finals, was not easy. The Fillies captured the opening set 21-16 in front of a raucous home crowd.

“Their fans are loud and got behind them and they got us in that first game,” Luther said. “But our girls came there to win it. They decided, this isn’t how we’re going to end this. In the second game, we re-ally put it to them (21-12). In game three they got the first two points, then we came marching back and never let them back in it.”

Setter Hanna Luther made the attack go. A n g e l a Sorensen m a n n e d the mid-dle when M o s t e k rotated to the back row. Jenna Taylor settled in on the right side, and the left side hitting was shared by Nicole Haley, Sydney Dunphy and Marie Hood.

“Natalie was phenome-nal, as usual,” coach Luther

Eagles soar past Murray, 60-23By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

AFTON — For the past three years, the East Union senior class has taken its lumps against Murray, los-ing by an average score of 66-9 in three games.

But the Eagle seniors fi-nally broke through here on Friday, running away to a 60-23 win in the rivalry game.

In doing so, the Eagles im-proved to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in Eight-Man District 7 play. Murray, meanwhile, falls to 0-3 and 0-1.

“I think for the kids, for the whole community, it feels really good,” East Union co-head coach James Hardy said. “We respect what Murray does, as far as their program goes. To beat a quality program that has been established for the past several years, that’s a good step in measuring where we are right now.”

East Union did not com-plete a pass in the game, but gashed the Murray defense

with the ground game, espe-cially in the second half.Momentum swing

Murray had seemingly regained some momentum heading into halftime, as the Mustangs closed the gap to 22-16 and were set to receive the ball to start the second half.

But four plays into the second half, Jack Jones fum-bled after a completion and East Union recovered at the Murray 20-yard line.

Two plays later, Mike Ward ran into the end zone from 8 yards out, giving East Union a 28-16 lead.

On the second play of the ensuing Murray drive, Matt Barnes was picked off by Clayton Miller, who re-turned it all the way to the 14-yard line.

Two plays later, Ward danced his way into the end zone from 9 yards out, put-ting the Eagles up 34-16 with

8:44 to go in the third quar-ter.

“Felt like the boys played very well through the first half,” Murray head coach Taylor Fulton said. “It was a lot of physical competi-tion, a tough game. Turn-overs killed us. Like I said earlier in the week, it was about taking care of the ball tonight. Just didn’t get it done.”

“That’s field position and ball control,” Hardy said about the turnovers. “Those are the two things I always talk about with the kids. I think we came out and saw that we needed to make a play. Our boys have all been about trying to make plays all year long.”

Defensive adjustments made by East Union co-head coach Craig Ditzler for the second half proved to be key in the victory.

defense was able to take that away in the second half. Jones finished with 10 catch-es for 159 yards.

“They’re starting to mesh together very well,” Fulton said about Barnes and Jones. “We’re looking forward to what’s to come.”

Barnes later found Dustin Teas for a 7-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 34-23, but East Union answered back with a Cole Campbell touch-down run.

A Gabe Nixon intercep-tion set up a 13-yard touch-down run by Ward, who bounced off a defender and finished the run into the end zone. Ward led the Eagles with 116 yards on 17 carries.

The three-pronged rush-ing attack of Ward, Campbell and Jonathan Weis combined for 290 rushing yards.

“I thought Mikey Ward played a whale of a ball-game,” Hardy said. “I think we’ve had consistent play in our line. Brogan Kinyon, Kyle Seales and Tyler Kel-ley — you’ve got to look at those guys. Those guys in the trenches are paramount to making sure our running game you saw happen, hap-pened.”Fast start

Weis started the scoring for the Eagles with his 24-yard touchdown run with 7:00 to go in the first quarter.

Less than 2 minutes later, Barnes answered back with a 5-yard touchdown run, draw-ing the Mustangs to within 8-7.

Gabe Nixon took the en-suing kickoff 68 yards for a touchdown, however, putting the Eagles on top 16-7.

East Union forced a three and out and Campbell scored the first of his three rushing touchdowns to put the Eagles on top 22-7 with 1:15 to go in the first quarter.

“Where we were at right there, that’s momentum,” Hardy said about Nixon’s re-turn. “The game’s all about momentum. Without that, who knows where the mo-mentum might have swung one way or the other.”

East Union returns to action Friday at Glidden-Ralston (3-0), which was a 61-7 winner over Ankeny Christian Academy on Fri-day. Murray, meanwhile, hosts Guthrie Center (2-1), which lost to Coon Rapids-Bayard, 41-7 on Friday.

“We’ve got to play a full four quarters,” Fulton said. “We can’t get in our own heads. We have to make sure we’re the physical team. We have to find our identity and we’ve got to stick to it. We can’t be something we’re not.”

Mount Ayr 63, Clarinda Acad. 22

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr flexed its muscle early here on Friday, building a 36-0 lead in the first quarter and a 63-0 lead at halftime against Clarinda Academy.

Clarinda Academy scored 22 points in the second half against the Mount Ayr JV, be-fore the game was called with 7:55 remaining.

“Those games are hard, be-cause you want to give your varsity kids enough work to stay sharp and make sure they’re improving, but you don’t want to get them hurt and you want to have some respect for your opponent,” Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said.

Even with backups in dur-ing the first half, the Raid-ers continued to score at will against the Eagles. The Raid-ers continually worked with short fields, racking up just 231 total yards to score 63 points.

Lincoln Martin had a 25 yard interception return for a touchdown in addition to a 14 yard touchdown pass from Ja-cob Taylor.

Defensively, Mount Ayr’s varsity held Clarinda Acad-emy to negative rushing yards, forcing the Eagles to throw the ball.

That allowed the Raider de-fensive line to do wreak havoc, as Mount Ayr finished with a possible school-record eight sacks in the game. The Ricker twins — Jake and Joe — re-corded five of those sacks, as Jake led the way with three.

“Clarinda Academy made a decision early in the game they were going to throw the ball,” Showalter said. “They couldn’t run on us and they weren’t able to protect very well. Racked up a lot of sacks. Jake and Joe kind of set the tone for us there.”

Mount Ayr, now 2-1 overall and 1-0 in Class A District 8, hosts Martensdale St. Marys (0-3, 0-1) on Friday. The Blue Devils lost to Pleasantville on Friday, 34-8.

Earlham 20, Nodaway Valley 19

GREENFIELD — Trail-ing 20-13, Nodaway Valley scored with 3:12 remaining in the game here on Friday on a 4-yard run by Josh Allsup.

The Wolverines went for the win on homecoming, go-ing for the 2-point conver-sion. But, the run failed and Earlham escaped with a 20-19 win in the Class A District 8 opener.

“It was a hard fought bat-tle, and we were on the short side,” Nodaway Valley head coach Steve Shantz said. “We thought we competed very well against a big team. We had to move some players around and I think we lost some cohesiveness on the of-fensive side of the ball.

“The defense kept us in the game and we had a shot at the end. We decided to go for the 2-point conversion late and made a mistake. We are proud of the way we competed.”

Leading rusher Brennen Weiland missed the game with an ankle injury, so sophomore Joe Herr stepped in as the fea-ture back and carried the ball 26 times for 79 yards and one touchdown.

Jackson Lamb completed 8-of-15 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. Nathan An-drews caught three passes for 47 yards and one score, while Jared Corder had three catch-es for 38 yards.

Ryan Jensen led the Wol-verines with 10.5 total tackles, while Tanner Armstrong re-corded nine total tackles.

The Wolverines, now 1-2 overall and 0-1 in district play, travel to Pleasantville (2-1, 1-0) on Friday. The Trojans defeated Martensdale-St. Marys on Friday, 34-8.

Lenox 66, Essex 12LENOX — Dustyn Rauch

scored five touchdowns — in-cluding a 75-yard punt return and 77-yard kickoff return — as Lenox swamped Essex, 66-12, to open district play Friday.

Rauch and Caleb Lange provided a one-two punch in the backfield. Rauch carried 13 times for 105 yards and two TDs, and Lange ran 13 times for 104 yards and one touch-

down. Carson Cline chipped in two rushing touchdowns and completed two touch-down passes to Rauch and Spencer Brown.

Dusten Reed had eight to-tal tackles, including three for losses. Rauch had an intercep-tion for the second week in a row.

“It was a night of big plays — special teams contributed with a kickoff and punt re-turn for a touchdown,” Lenox coach Allen Dukes said. “The backfield of Lange and Rauch rushed for over 100 yards each, which means the offen-sive line was creating holes to run through. Our defense put pressure on their quarter-back.”

Dukes said Brown, Lange, Reed and Frank HOffman made Essex quarterback Gunnar Glasgo hurry. Glasgo completed only 7 of 31 passes for 111 yards.

Lenox, 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the district, plays at Sidney this week.

Panorama 28, Southwest Valley 0

CORNING — Panorama opened Class 1A District 8 play here on Friday with a 28-0 win over Southwest Valley.

Statistics from this game were not available at press time, and will be published in a future edition of the Creston News Advertiser.

said. “She had some big blocks, hit the ball well and served well. Hanna had a good day. She put balls up where we needed them, and she mixed it up. She’s start-ing to read the other side of the court well. She had a couple of dumps (quick sets over the net) that were good, too.”

Higgins, the other Panther all-tourney selection, joined li-bero Jami S i c k e l s , H a y l e e LaMasters and Alli Thompson in the pass-ing game.

“Alyssa was passing and digging up balls well all day,” Luther said. “She cov-ers well and the passes were really on target. Our whole defense was digging up balls against Shen’s two good hit-ters. Our serving was poor in game one against Shen. We discussed that wouldn’t win us a title, and we came out in games two and three and got them in.”

The 6-0 day serves as a confidence boost, Lu-ther said, for a tough week ahead. The Panthers travel to state-ranked Council Bluffs St. Albert on Tuesday before hosting a Denison-Schleswig team Thursday that defeated Carroll Kue-mper last week. The rugged Red Oak Tournament fol-lows on Saturday.

CHAMPS:



Morrison said. “But he was cleared by the doctor to play. He’s a pretty explosive kid, and Pals played more wideout tonight.”

Swank scored on a “pow-er flow” sweep play that was blocked perfectly on the edge.

“ E v -e r y o n e b l o c k e d and I just ran around the side,” he said. “I saw open field and just tried to use my speed.”

Winterset fullback Bran-don Herr finished two con-sistent Husky drives with short-yardage touchdowns. After the second one, the snap was bobbled on the ex-tra point kick, leaving it an eight-point margin at 42-34 with 5:30 remaining.Defense holds

The Panthers then had two good defensive series, hold-ing Winterset short on fourth down each time, to finish out the win. Pals ended the final Husky possession with an in-terception on a deep pass.

Haines, who had missed some series with leg cramps, was back in the two-safety alignment. Pals and safety Brody Frain converged on the fourth-and-17 pass, with Pals getting the pick.

“He pump faked and I had a feeling it was going to be a hitch-and-go,” Pals said, “and I just jumped it.”

The Panthers owned a to-tal yardage advantage of 430 to 296 in the game.

Nielsen finished 18-of-32 passing for 252 yards and four TDs. Shiltz led the rush-ing game with 92 yards on 17 carries.

Defensively, Maitlen had five solo tackles and nine as-sists for 14 total. Shiltz had six of each for 12 total. De-fensive end Tayler Pettit in-tercepted a swing pass to stop a Winterset drive late in the first half, preserving the 21-13 halftime lead. It was near-ly returned for a touchdown.

“It was a screen and I saw the kid stop at the line and the quarterback look,” Pettit said. “I just jumped up and smashed it. Then I was just running. I slipped up trying to cut back and got taken down.”

Morrison said he was proud of how his team fought back to earn the important

win.“We have a good senior

class as far as leadership is concerned,” Morrison said, “but we also still have some freshmen and sophomores out there playing for us. So, to see what we did in the first quarter, and rebound like that, and stick with it, I’m re-ally proud of them. I thought the defense held tough to

keep it at 13-0. We did a good job of staying in the game.”

In other non-district play Friday, Harlan lost to Lewis Central, 24-7, marking the first time for consecutive reg-ular-season Cyclone defeats since 1974.

Meanwhile, Greene Coun-ty (1-2) was victorious Fri-day, 21-6 over Algona.

Donated tool helps crews rescue man from grain bin

NEWTON (AP) — A donated rescue tool helped firefighters save the life of an Iowa man who became trapped in a grain bin south of Newton last week.

The Des Moines Register reports the roughly $3,000 grain bin rescue tube that the Kellogg Township Fire Department owns helped keep Tuesday’s accident from becoming fatal.

About three-fourths of all grain entrapments between 1964 and 2008 ended in deaths, according to a Pur-due University study.

The pressure from the grain can keep the chest from expanding and restrict-ing breathing. The tightly packed grain can also cause heat exhaustion.

And the danger happens quickly: a 6-foot-tall person can sink waist deep in five seconds and be buried in 11 seconds.

“It usually ends badly,” said Newton Fire Chief Jar-rod Wellik.

So it’s fortunate that Kel-logg firefighters had a spe-cialized 5-foot-tall aluminum tube with them Tuesday.

The grain bin rescue de-vice comes in four curved pieces that firefighters placed around the victim to keep more grain from push-ing up against that person.

Once the tube was in

place, firefighters scooped grain out of the tube to cre-ate more room for the man to breath, and they started providing oxygen because of all the dust and debris.

“That bought us time,” said Capt. Calvin Dhondt of the Kellogg fire department.

Then rescuers pumped some grain into a truck and cut holes in the bottom of the bin to release the corn until the man was able to step out of the metal tube.

The name of the person injured in Tuesday’s grain accident hasn’t been re-leased, but authorities say he is expected to recover.

The rescue device fire-fighters used was made by GSI Group, which also makes grain bins.

Jeff Decker, who is a safe-ty specialist with the compa-ny, about half of the rescue tubes GSI sells are bought by community groups, such as FFA and social clubs.

In Kellogg, donations from Sully Farm Supply and the community paid for the rescue device.

“Our message, first and foremost, is about avoiding incidents and staying out of harm’s way,” said Decker, who trains firefighters on grain bin rescues. “But when it happens, we want people to have the tools to help.”

Hillary Rodham Clinton, making her return to Iowa for the first time since the 2008 presidential campaign, im-plored Democrats on Sunday to choose shared economic opportunity over “the guard-ians of gridlock” in an high-profile appearance that drove speculation about another White House bid into over-drive.

“Hello Iowa. I’m back!” Clinton declared as she took the podium at retiring Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry fundraiser, a fixture on the political calendar in the home of the nation’s first presiden-tial caucus. Clinton joined her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in a tribute to Harkin that brought them be-fore about 10,000 party activ-ists who form the backbone of Iowa’s presidential cam-paigns every four years.

The former New York senator and first lady did not directly address a poten-tial campaign but said she was “thinking about it” and joked that she was “here for the steak.” She later said that “too many people only get excited about presidential campaigns.

“In just 50 days Iowans have a choice to make — a choice and a chance. A choice between the guardians of

gridlock and the champions of shared opportunity and shared prosperity,” she said, urging voters to elect leaders who would “carry on Tom Harkin’s legacy of fighting for families.”

Following a summertime book tour, Clinton was mak-ing her biggest campaign splash in 2014 so far, opening a fall of fundraising and cam-paigning for Democrats who are trying to maintain a Sen-ate majority during President Barack Obama’s final two years. The event also served as a farewell for Harkin, a liberal stalwart and former presidential candidate who is retiring after four decades in Congress.

Obama defeated Clinton in the state’s leadoff presidential caucuses in January 2008 — Clinton finished third behind the future president and then-North Carolina Sen. John Ed-wards — and the visit marked the former secretary of state’s first appearance in Iowa since the campaign.

The Clintons pressed Dem-ocrats to support Rep. Bruce Braley, who faces Republi-can state Sen. Joni Ernst in a competitive Senate race. Mr. Clinton, who faced Harkin in the 1992 presidential prima-

ries, praised the retiring sena-tor’s work on health care and people with disabilities.

“You know what you ought to do to honor the Harkin leg-acy is elect Bruce Braley,” the former president said.

Hillary Clinton, who would become the first female presi-dent if she runs and wins the presidency, used her speech to strike a chord on women’s issues, citing the need to elect

candidates who would allow women to make their “own health care decisions” and promote equal pay for equal work.

She also lauded Obama’s economic record, noting the increase in exports for the state’s farmers, Iowa’s low unemployment rate and a boost in the production of re-newable energy. Her address also offered references to her

husband’s economic mantra of helping people who “work hard and play by the rules.”

Harkin praised Clinton’s longtime commitment to health care overhaul.

“Her fingerprints are all over that legislation. It would not have happened but for her strenuous advocacy all those years,” he said. Republicans have vigorously opposed the so-called “Obamacare” law

and sought to connect Clin-ton to Obama’s signature leg-islation.

Attending Harkin’s final bash, party activists streamed onto a hot-air balloon field lined with colorful signs thanking the Harkins and promoting state candidates. Ready for Hillary, a super PAC supporting a potential Clinton candidacy, posted light blue “Ready” signs.

Before taking the stage, the Clintons took turns flip-ping steaks at a grill before a large media contingent. “I’m just flipping for other people now,” joked Bill Clinton in a nod to his wife’s headliner status. Hillary Clinton nod-ded in approval: “This looks really good!”

The couple spoke briefly to reporters, remaining coy about her future plans. Hill-ary Clinton, asked if she planned to run for president, said, “There are a lot of peo-ple running right now.”

When the event ended, people chanted, “Hillary, Hillary, Hillary,” and she waded into the throng await-ing her at the bottom of the stairs. Clinton shook hands and signed copies of her book and “Ready for Hillary” post-ers.
