Loebsack tours REG Biorefinery upgrade
U.S. Congressman Dave Loebsack toured the upgrade at the Newton Biorefinery at Renewable Energy Group Wednesday.
Loebsack saw first hand the facility that is still under construction and spoke with Dan-iel Oh, president and CEO of REG, Inc. and
Phil Abels, plant man-ager, along with other leaders in the company about what the upgrade will do at the biodiesel plant.
“These upgrades will allow us to utilize a broader spectrum of lower-cost raw materi-als,” Brad Albin, REG vice president of man-ufacturing said. “It also advances our efforts to produce the highest
quality product for our customers.”
The upgraded pro-cess, including distilla-tion, removes impuri-ties and leaves behind the purest form of the fuel. The final prod-uct far exceeds qual-ity standards set by the biodiesel indus-try, while meeting the
Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsClassified as a “tweener” hospital, Skiff Medical Center continues to provide high quality care without the reimbursements similar sized critical access hospitals enjoy.
‘Tweener’ status an obstacle for Skiff to overcome
Skiff Medical Center’s recent challenges have been well docu-mented and discussed through-out the community — the rea-sons behind the challenges and what Skiff hopes to do to rem-edy it are not as well known. A single word can explain one pri-mary reason for the challenges: tweener.
Among Iowa hospitals, there are four main categories that hospitals fall in: critical access, urban, tweener and rural refer-ral. Skiff is known as a “tweener” hospital, which as the name sug-gests is “between” the critical ac-cess hospitals (CAH) and urban hospitals categories.
“Of Iowa’s 118 hospitals, 82 are classified as critical access hospitals,” Brett Altman, presi-dent of Skiff Medical Center said. “Critical access hospitals are paid by Medicare 101 per-cent of the cost to provide in-patient and outpatient services.
One requirement to be a CAH is to have 25 or fewer inpatient beds, but because of the payment formula with Medicare, many of these hospitals have been doing quite well. The program has been a boon to rural areas, providing extra income to buy equipment, recruit providers and renovate or replace their buildings.”
Communities ranging from under 1,000 residents to more than 10,000 residents have criti-cal access hospitals.
“Mercy Health and Unity-Point hospitals in Des Moines are urban hospitals that do more elaborate procedures, such as neurosurgery and cardiology, which are paid at a higher reim-bursement,” Altman said. “Be-sides the larger scope and patient population volumes, these hospi-tals are usually system hospitals that enjoy some economies of scale.”
As a “tweener” hospital, Skiff is too large and provides levels of care that are too high to qualify to be a critical access hospital,
but is too small to have econo-mies of scale and absorb the financial risk associated with prospective payment systems or PPS programs. PPS pays smaller, rural hospitals a flat rate for a di-agnosis, regardless of the actual services provided and the related costs. Also, Skiff receives less than a third of what is charged, 30.6 cents on the dollar, opposed to CAH receiving 101 percent.
“Tweener hospitals tend to get paid significantly less than the actual cost to provide inpatient and outpatient services,” Alt-man said. “The majority of these hospitals have been operating in the red for many years and are documented to have the lowest profitability in comparison to the other payment classifications. Yet, because there are a limited number of hospitals in this cat-egory, only eight in Iowa, any requests for serious political at-tention have fallen on deaf ears.”
Local veteran grateful to have
letter he wrote in WWII returned
Like many men from his generation, Newton resident Don Hummel served his country as a member of the armed services. And like many of his peers, sending and receiving letters from loved ones back home was key to keeping him going.
Recently, the 89-year-old Navy veteran was given a gift by the fam-ily of an old friend — a letter he wrote to Fred Carpenter on March 2, 1944:
“Dear Fred,Well old pal, I re-
ceived your letter today. Boy, I mean to tell you that I’m really glad to hear from you,” the let-ter begins.
Hummel said when he wrote this letter, he was at boot camp in Far-
ragut and had just re-turned from guard duty, which is unfortunately all he can remember about his particular let-ter at the moment.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Hummel said about re-ceiving his old letter.
The story of how Hummel got his old let-ter back could be a story in itself. Carpenter’s family had an estate sale and someone purchased his old desk. The person who bought the desk discovered the letter, and realized it was sent during World War II by an active serviceman; however, the envelope was damaged and Hum-mel only signed the let-ter with his first name.
The desk’s purchaser then sought out Doug Bishop, a local veterans
Ty Rushing/Daily NewsDon Hummel still can’t believe a letter he wrote to his late friend, Fred Carpenter, during World War II was returned to him. He said he can’t even recall writing the letter, but he’s grateful nonetheless to have the memory back.

Regular exercise can benefit the body in many ways, help-ing men and women maintain healthier weights and lower their risks for developing poten-tially deadly diseases. Though many people are quick to as-sociate exercise with its physi-cal benefits, those hours spent on the treadmill also can boost brain power.
According to Dr. Barry Gor-don, professor of neurology and cognitive science at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and coauthor of “Intelligent Memory: Improve the Memory That Makes You Smarter,” ex-ercise has a direct impact on the brain. That’s because exercise works directly on brain tissue, improving the connections be-tween nerve cells, creating new synapses, growing new neurons and blood vessels, and improv-ing cell energy efficiency. So while many people may begin an exercise regimen with a goal of trimming their waistlines or toning their bodies, they might be happy to know that those physical benefits are accompa-nied by several cognitive ben-efits as well.
As the American Psychologi-cal Association acknowledges, the connection between exer-cise and mental health is hard to ignore, and the APA notes that the following are just a few of the mental benefits men and women might reap from regular exercise.
Improved moodMany people feel great after
exercising, especially if that ex-ercise comes at the end of a par-ticularly stressful day. However, those extra laps on the track or
those hours spent on the tread-mill don’t just pay short-term dividends.
In a controlled trial overseen by Duke University researcher and clinical psychologist James Blumenthal, sedentary adults with major depressive disor-der were assigned into one of four groups: supervised exer-cise, home-based exercise, an-tidepressant therapy, or a pla-cebo pill. Those in the exercise and antidepressant groups had higher rates of remission than those in the placebo group, and Blumenthal concluded that ex-ercise was generally comparable to antidepressants for men and women with major depressive disorder.
In addition, in following up with patients a year later, Blu-menthal found that those who continued to exercise had lower depression scores than those participants who were less ac-tive.
Blumenthal’s study was not the only one to conclude that exercise can have a positive im-pact on mood. In a review of 11 studies that examined the effects of exercise on mental health, Boston University pro-fessor of psychology Michael Otto and his colleagues found that exercise could be a power-ful tool when treating clinical depression, and even recom-mended clinicians include ex-ercise as part of their treatment plans for depressed patients.
Antidote to anxietySome researchers, Otto in-
cluded, have begun to exam-ine the effects of exercise on treating and possibly prevent-ing anxiety. The body’s ner-vous system responds quickly when people feel frightened or threatened, often causing the
body’s heart rate to increase and sweating and dizziness to occur. Those people who are especially sensitive to anxiety respond to these feelings with fear, and that makes them more likely to develop panic disorders.
But Otto and fellow re-searcher Jasper Smits of the Anxiety Research and Treat-ment Program at Southern Methodist University studied the effects that regular workouts might have on people prone to anxiety. Since exercise produces many of the same physical re-actions, such as sweating and an elevated heart rate, the body produces when responding to fear or threats, Otto and Smits wanted to determine if exer-cise might help people prone to anxiety become less likely to panic when experiencing fear or threats.
In studying 60 participants with heightened sensitivity to anxiety, Otto and Smits found that the subjects who partici-pated in a two-week exercise program exhibited marked im-provements in anxiety sensitiv-ity compared to those partici-pants who did not take part in the exercise program.
Otto and Smith concluded that this improvement was a result of the exercise group participants learning to associ-ate the symptoms common to both fear and exercise, such as sweating and an elevated heart rate, with something positive (exercise) instead of something negative (anxiety).
Regular exercise benefits the human body in numerous ways, not the least of which is its impact on the brain. More in-formation on the link between exercise and improved mental health is available at www.apa.org.

Regular exercise is beneficial in many ways, not only will it help you physically but it can increase memory ca-pabilities, improve mood and help relieve anxiety.

To be considered for the critical access hospi-tal status, the hospital must be located at least 35 miles from another hospital. For a time, there was a 35-mile distance waiver that lasted until Dec. 31, 2005. Skiff would have been able to obtain the waiver, but at the time it did not pursue the op-portunity.
“At the time, Skiff had an average daily census of 35, a Fortune 500 company was headquartered in the community and Skiff was performing strong financially due to a good payer mix,” Altman said. “It was just bad timing that the waiver expired when it did, just before a great deal of change took place.”
That big change was the closing of the local Maytag facilities and that, along with other factors in the healthcare industry led Skiff to its current status. On average, the daily census at Skiff is 18 with signs indicating that number is declining and will continue in that direction.
The big question is, how can Skiff remain a vi-able “tweener” hospital and ensure a strong future for the hospital?
“The answer is that we need to partner with a larger organization to expand services, attain econ-omies of scale, boost our performance and provide stability to our medical community,” Altman said. “Recently, I thought it might be up to six months before we would know who are preferred partner may be. However, thanks to accelerated affiliation activity in the past several weeks and several more meetings scheduled in the next few weeks with both systems in Des Moines, it’s possible we may have a recommendation before Thanksgiving.”

advocate, who tracked down Carpenter’s son, Scott, and re-turned the letter to him. Scott couldn’t identify who the letter was from and asked his mother and Fred’s widow, Dorothy, to help him out.
“They didn’t know who it was until Dorothy, his wife, seen on the bottom of it ‘Don,’” Hummel said.
Hummel’s letter is three pag-es and all handwritten. In it, he talks about the difficulty of guard duty, having a few spir-its with the guys and his re-spect for higher ranking service
members:“I love to salute all officers
and being right by the quarters, I am saluting all the time,” he wrote.
Hummel joined the Navy in December 1943 and was at boot camp by January 1944 and served as an Aviation Machin-ist Mate 3rd Class. Getting let-ters is what helped ease his time in the service, he said.
“My mom would never miss a day, and I had two sisters, and one of them wrote me everyday. Her husband was in the (U.S.) Air Force and she never missed a day … my brother was down in South America with the PBY Squadron and he wrote me one letter,” Hummel said.
He said the thing that sticks out in his mind is that his dad only wrote him one letter, and he regrets that he hasn’t kept track of it.
“I think what I miss most of all is my letter from my dad,” Hummel said.
Having the letter he sent to his friend Fred, who passed away due to injuries from an ac-cident in 2007, is an incredibly special thing for Hummel, who keeps the letter stashed with his other Navy memorabilia.
“Doug, bless his heart. I wouldn’t have got it back if it wasn’t for him,” Hummel said.

Democrats try to tarnish Ernst’s ‘Iowa Nice’ imageDES MOINES (AP) — As
time runs short in the competitive Iowa Senate race, Democrats are trying to tarnish the centerpiece of Republican Joni Ernst’s suc-cessful Senate campaign — her appealing image as a down-to-earth farm girl.
In recent weeks, Democrats have promoted stories about a dispute Ernst’s husband had with a house painter, construction con-tracts awarded to her father when she was Montgomery County au-ditor and local political conflicts during her time in county office.
Opponents say they are just raising questions about Ernst, a state lawmaker and lieutenant col-onel in the Iowa National Guard, who is running against Demo-cratic U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley in one of the nation’s closest Senate races. But Ernst supporters say the attacks won’t change opinions about the candidate.
“I’ve known her for years and she really is as she presents in her ads,” said Gwen Ecklund, chair of the Crawford County Repub-licans.
Recent polls have shown a close race, with conflicting num-bers on who is pulling ahead with all-important independent vot-ers. With just weeks to go, the candidates and outside groups are spending millions on televi-sion advertising and bringing in big-name surrogates to boost en-thusiasm, with former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Rom-ney campaigning for Ernst earlier this week and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren — a huge draw for populist Democrats — ap-pearing Sunday with Braley. The outcome of the election could help determine whether Republi-
cans gain the six seats needed to win control of the Senate.
Negative campaigning is not new to the race, but the inten-sity has increased. On the GOP side, Republicans have tried to tie Braley, 56, to the unpopular presi-dent and have questioned Braley’s background as a trial lawyer and voting record in Washington. GOP groups have repeatedly highlighted a video of Braley at a private event referring to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley as a “farm-er from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law.” Ernst, 44, has also cited a report that Braley got into a dispute with a neighbor at his vacation com-munity about her chickens.
Attacks on Ernst — who was relatively unknown until her suc-cessful primary campaign this year — have picked up in recent weeks. While Braley’s campaign focuses on policy issues, such as Ernst’s opposition to abortion rights, Democratic groups are ag-gressively pushing stories about Ernst’s background as a state law-maker and county official years ago.
“Iowans deserve to hear more about her background and her record,” said Iowa Democratic Party spokeswoman Christina Freundlich.
Democratic groups are pub-licly seeking an investigation into contracts awarded to a construc-tion company owned by Ernst’s father when she was Montgom-ery County auditor, from 2005 to 2011. They argue that conflict of interest rules may have been vio-lated.
Assistant Montgomery Coun-ty Attorney Mark Swanson said the contracts were awarded in an
open public bidding process, with the lowest bidder winning, and noted that Ernst did not have a vote in the process. He said the complaints have “no merit.”
Earlier this week, Democrats drew attention to a story in The Daily Beast that raised questions about whether people who op-posed Ernst’s candidacy as Coun-ty Auditor were the target of re-taliation in 2005. The story said at least one person opposed to Ernst was later voted off a county veter-ans’ commission. In late Septem-ber, Democrats highlighted a le-gal clash between Ernst’s husband and a house painter, first reported by Buzzfeed, which happened in 2002, over an unfinished job.
Ernst spokeswoman Gretchen Reynolds declined to discuss de-tails of the individual stories, but said Democrats were “grasping at straws.”
“There are a lot of false and misleading attacks out there. Jo-ni’s message about the Iowa way versus the Washington way is breaking through and is continu-ing to break through,” Reynolds said.
Braley spokesman Jeff Giertz said he thought the reports had merit, saying they “raise impor-tant questions about Sen. Ernst’s background.”
Montgomery County GOP chairwoman Margaret Stoldorf said the criticisms were not ma-jor issues in the area. Stoldorf said Ernst was well-liked in her home-town of Red Oak.
“Predominantly, yes she’s well liked and well thought off. Ob-viously, you’re always going to find some naysayers. She’ll carry the county and she’ll do it easily,” Stoldorf said.

Over half a century ago, when my brother Frank was at the Iowa School for the Deaf, he was told he could be one of three things: a printer, a cobbler, or a baker. He had unlimited poten-tial, but his choices were limited by the societal barriers faced by too many people with dis-abilities.
Our coun-try has changed since then. With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, we began to tear down those obstacles and expand the opportuni-ties for people with disabilities. We have increased the accessibility of our buildings, streets, parks, beaches, and recreation areas. Today, our books, TVs, telephones, and computers are more accessible. We are on the path toward the full realization of the four goals we set out to achieve with ADA: equal opportunity, full par-ticipation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency; however, there is still work to be done.
Unfortunately, one area of American life has been resistant to change: employment and the path-way it provides to participate in the middle class. Twenty-four years after the signing of the ADA, Americans with disabilities remain dispropor-
tionately poor and face significant barriers to joining and remaining in the middle class.
This October, we observe Na-tional Disability Employment Awareness Month. While we should celebrate the progress that has been made, we must also recognize and confront the very real employment crisis faced by Americans with dis-abilities. People with disabilities re-main far more likely to be impover-ished, to be out of the workforce, and to be experiencing the detrimental effects of living in poverty.
On the most important econom-ic measures such as unemployment, workforce participation, annual earnings, and poverty, people with disabilities often are in the worst condition compared to almost any other group. Twice as many Ameri-cans with disabilities live in poverty than those without disabilities. Less than 30 percent of working-age Americans with disabilities partici-pate in the workforce, and house-holds with an adult member with a disability earn 38.4 percent less than households without an adult member with a disability. These facts make it clear that people with disabilities are still encountering roadblocks in the path to the middle class and that the ADA’s goal of eco-nomic self-sufficiency has not yet been achieved.
As chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pen-sions Committee, I launched an investigation into these roadblocks. I heard from over 400 people with disabilities from across the country, all of whom had or currently live at the poverty level. They reported experiencing employment discrimi-nation, discriminatory wages, inac-cessible workplaces, and persistently low expectations about what they
can accomplish. They also reported that they often cannot participate in the workforce because they lack re-liable, accessible transportation and accessible, affordable housing. To fully realize the vision of the ADA, we as a nation must confront these problems.
Congress needs to do its part to develop strategies to clear the path to the middle class. I am optimistic that we will begin to see the benefits of the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, passed by my committee, and recently signed into law by the president. The new law requires that schools and voca-tional rehabilitation programs work together to ensure young people with disabilities develop the skills and knowledge needed in emerg-ing fields. It also provides resources for employers to learn how to sup-port people with disabilities in the workforce and how to provide ac-commodations so individuals with disabilities can be successful at work. I have also recently introduced three bills, the Universal Home Design Act, the Accessible Transportation for All Act, and the Exercise and Fitness for All Act, to address the physical barriers to employment that people with disabilities still experi-ence.
At the same time, we can all work to eliminate attitudinal barriers by celebrating the many contributions of America’s workers with disabili-ties and educating others about dis-ability employment issues. The time for America to shed narrow views about people with disabilities – prej-udices that limited the opportunities for my brother and continue to limit the opportunities for countless oth-ers – is well overdue. Together, we can take the needed steps towards ensuring opportunity for all.
What is it about natural disasters and irony?
Just as local authorities in Detroit were denying t h o u -sands of p e o p l e access to running water, the bankrupt city ex-perienced an epic d o w n -p o u r . M o r e than 4.5 inches of rain pounded Motown in mid-August, causing $1.2 billion in damage. Three people died, including a 100-year-old woman who apparently drowned in her flooded basement.
And what’s even more ironic? Both freakish storms like the one that swamped Detroit’s free-ways and catastrophic droughts of the sort now parching California are about to become a lot more common. A raft of new research makes it clear that there’s going to be nowhere to hide from the devastation wrought by climate chaos.
For starters, consider a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists on the floods that will wash over the Atlantic Seaboard and the Gulf Coast during the next three decades as sea levels rise. It’s a painful snapshot of when every-one in those areas will be shopping for a new canoe, no matter how far they live from a body of water.
According to the re-port, Maryland in par-ticular must watch out. Baltimore’s bustling In-ner Harbor neighborhood and seaport could wind up underwater 875 hours per year — 10 percent of the time — by 2045, and parts of Annapolis might become perpetually soggy. Ocean City, Cambridge, and other towns across the state are slated for a con-stant flow of increasingly major “tidal events.”
Without decisive cli-mate action and local ef-forts to mitigate the im-pact of rising tides, floods throughout the Atlantic
and Gulf coastal regions could become three times more common by 2030 and 10 times more fre-quent by 2045, the Union of Concerned Scientists predicts.
Yet Congress isn’t ex-actly pumping big bucks into climate action, leaving cities and states to fend for themselves.
Ready for more irony? The metropolitan area most vulnerable to floods three decades from now is, of all places, Washington, D.C. On average, the na-tion’s capital and its sub-urbs could experience three floods a week by 2030 and a flood a day by 2045.
That could prove ideal for growing rice, but is bound to get in the way of governing the country.
What are state and lo-cal governments doing to brace for this wet future? Taking a page from Mad Magazine‘s mascot, most are taking the Alfred E. Neuman approach: “What — Me Worry?” Only 14 states have gotten started with plans to cope with the watery world around the corner.
While the East and Gulf Coasts and Midwest grow soggier, scientists predict that the South-west, including California, will get more parched. Droughts and wildfires, al-ready dire, will grow more common. You can read all about what’s in store for where you live in the congressionally mandated Third National Climate Assessment.
Just as much of the United States must brace for inconceivably com-mon floods, some of our most important freshwater sources are running low. The Ogallala Aquifer — an ancient underground reservoir that irrigates fields in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and five other states — is getting tapped out, changing the future of farming in the nation’s breadbasket.
What can you do, aside from doing your best to enjoy days that are neither overly rainy nor parched?

Is the Blood Moon an omi-nous warning of some cataclys-mic event on the offing? Naw. If anything, I told myself, it’s a harvest moon.
And what a harvest! Farm-ers are saying they’ve never seen yields like this. I believe’m! Driving around the countryside, I’ve never seen crops so lush and thick. It’s all because of the abundant rains we’ve had this year. My yard has never looked so good.
Now the over-abundance problems are rearing up, like snakes on Medusa’s head. One of those snakes is low grain prices. (You might know it, just get a good crop, and prices hit the crapper!). Another problem is difficulty getting the crops out of the fields because of rain. Farmers are already envisioning crops standing through the win-ter. The third viper is the cost of drying — I can hear those dryers roaring now, and see the flames, like a jet airliner ready
for takeoff. And then the forth snake head: not enough rail cars to transport the bumper crop. Remember those mountains of golden corn on the streets of ru-ral Iowa a few years back when there weren’t enough rail cars? “Ski Iowa!”
I was eying the beautiful, full, harvest moon on the evening of October 7. It’s always breath-taking when the full moon first appears, poking its monstrous head over the horizon, like a giant pumpkin. Motorists were pulled to the side of the road, trying to get a camera shot, even “selfies” with the monster moon in the background. So I tried. But not having my tripod, the attempts at moon photography were shaky at best.
Later that evening, a friend called and asked if I was going to photograph the Blood Moon that would be in the Midwest sky at 5:55 the following morn-ing. A Blood Moon occurs, when the Earth gets between
the sun and the moon, casting a shadow, often reddish (because of the earth’s atmosphere), on the moon. Since I get up around 4:00 a.m. anyway, I would see what I could see.
So, at 5:30 a.m., I’m out there in the vacant lot across from my house, with camera and tripod. By golly, the moon was starting to turn reddish. Even with the tripod, telephoto lens, and cam-era set for “nighttime,” it’s still a tricky shot. But doable.
When I was fiddling with the camera and tripod, I noticed both of my arms were sore. The day before I had gotten my an-nual flu shot. Because of my age, 66, and asthma, it was rec-ommended that I also get the pneumonia shot. Fine.
I went back in the house to gloat over my moon shot and to email the picture to friends. I noticed I wasn’t feeling very well. In fact, I was feeling really sick. My whole body ached, even the hair on my head, and I was
running a fever. Ebola! The arm that I had gotten the pneumo-nia shot in, hurt so bad, I could hardly move it. In short, I spent two days in bed and thought I was going to die. At 5:00 a.m. the following morning, I called the Nurse Hotline on my insur-ance card. The nurse advised that I call the doctor’s office and let it “ring through to the doctor on duty.”
I called, let it “ring through” and was informed that the doc-tors office was closed. Click.
I looked at my arm in the mirror. It was swollen from my elbow to the shoulder, and hot to the touch. It was a rusty red color.

ObituarySandra Ritz
Oct. 7, 2014
Sandra Ritz died Oct. 7, 2014, Clarkston, Wa.
Sandra Lea Collins was born Aug. 23, 1941, to R o n a l d and Fern ( B u r n s ) C o l l i n s in Win-t h r o p , joining a family of three older sisters, Rosemary, Betty Jean and Patricia. Her brother, Ronald Ar-thur, died at three years of age of Scarlet Fever before she was born. She grew up on the family farm, riding horses over the open fields, entering local horse shows with her father, participating in 4-H, roller skating on Sunday evenings with her friends (when her dad could take them to the rink), playing bas-ketball in junior high and taking piano and voice lessons. In grade school, she joined the newly formed band as a flutist, sung in the high school choir, competed as a solo in the Iowa state high school competition. She also helped orga-nize a club for library volunteers and was on the staff for the school Annual. She was class president, and, with two other classmates, began a school newsletter. In 1959, she graduated as the class salutatorian. That fall she went to Marquette University in Milwaukee where she majored in history. She graduated cum laude in 1963, and was a mem-ber of several academic honorary societies: Phi Alpha Theta (history). Sigma Tau Delta (Eng-lish) and Pi Gamma Mu (social science).
In her early years, her work covered a wide spectrum of publishing activities. After gradu-ation, she worked in Milwaukee for Country Beautiful magazine, a national photo maga-zine. During that time, she helped put together the official publication commemorating the first Milwaukee circus parade as well as one commem-orating John F. Kennedy
after his assassination. In the fall of 1964, Sandra returned to Marquette on a two-year research fellowship during which she earned a master’s degree in history. After graduation, she prepared social research reports for the newly formed lo-cal branch of the John-son administration’s Poverty Program in Mil-waukee but left after a few months to join Ron Ritz, a fellow Marquette graduate from southern Illinois who shared with her a small town farming background and a zest for the unknown. Losing his military deferment after graduation, he had joined the army and been sent to the Panama Canal Zone as part of the intelligence branch. Vietnam had not yet be-come the maelstrom it would be, but unrest was already high, in the mili-tary world as well as the civilian. It was an excit-ing but unsettling time of rapid and sometimes violent change in society.
She and Ron were married in Panama City in 1968. Sandra found work in the editorial section of the Adjutant General’s Office pre-paring the Command Daily Bulletin. Together she and Ron explored the canal corridor, driv-ing along jungle roads where, towering above them, ships moved slowly through the ca-nal from one ocean to the other. When Ron’s tour of duty was com-pleted, they returned to the States, heading for Seattle, at that time a northwest backwater to the more vigorous Port-land but recommended by friends who had at-tended school there. They lived in Seattle for 13 years. Ron worked in insurance and real estate but his passion was buy-ing, improving, and then selling property. Sandy worked at the University of Washington as a TV production coordinator for the Regional Medi-cal Program. Later, she was the administrative secretary’ for the first director of the Division of Bioengineering as he put together the pro-gram for this brand new
field of study. At his re-quest, she became editor of the Bioengineering News for the U. of W. After leaving the univer-sity, she worked as grants manager in the early days of the Bob Hope Cardiovascular Center in Seattle. This job re-quired knowledge of ac-counting and budgets. Becoming interested in accounting and business management, she took a Management Account-ing Program from Auer-swald Business Univer-sity in Seattle, acquiring skills she would use the rest of her life.
In 1980, wishing to return to their small town roots, Sandy and Ron moved to Leav-enworth, Washington. Today this struggling former logging and rail-road town is a nation-ally known attraction, especially noted for its Autumn and Christmas lighting festivals which are attended by tens of thousands. Sandy and Ron were fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in this transformation. When they left Leavenworth in 2001 they had built a successful enterprise comprising of lodg-ing, rental homes, and commercial rentals for restaurants, shops, and small business. Ron was the businessman who saw the opportunities and made them hap-pen. Sandy became the administrative manager, keeping their train on the track. As with many others in that small com-munity, they volunteered in various ways as the need arose.
Ron tired of the win-ter demands that come with living in a moun-tain community so when a buyer approached him in 2000, he was ready to move on to something else. The couple chose southeastern Washing-ton where the climate was much more mod-erate and the fishing was superb. After short stops in Walla Walla and Clarkston, Ron and Sandy settled in Aso-tin, a small community on the Snake River just south of Clarkston. Ron bought a residential RV
park while Sandy be-came involved with the activities of a family-ori-ented comm unity--vol-unteering at her church, with the library, help-ing with the county fair flower show. Beginning in 2010, they spent their winters in the south — as far from snow as Ron could get. Their first stop was in Texas but they settled in southern California just outside of the Palm Springs area.
Throughout her life, Sandy cared for cats and dogs — usually rescue animals. She enjoyed walking with her dogs along stony shorelines in Seattle, or in Leav-enworth’s pine forests, along the Snake River in Asotin, or through the desert of southern California. She sampled a wide range of books depending upon her in-terests at the time just as she sampled a wide range of musical instru-ments, enjoying them all, mastering none. She valued friends, main-taining connections over decades. Ron and Sandy moved frequently un-til their mid-60s. The several homes where they lived in Seattle in-cluded a condominium overlooking Elliot Bay and a houseboat on Lake Union, a 1920s home overlooking Puget Sound and a rural cabin without central heating. Whether heading back to nature or into the center of downtown, she never lost her identify as an Iowa farmer’s daugh-ter, helping her maintain a sense of continuity from beginning to end.
She is survived by her husband, Ron and her three sisters.
Funeral mass will be at 11:30 a.m. Wednes-day, Oct. 22 at Holy Family Catholic Church, Clarkston, Wash. Burial will follow at Asotin City Cemetery. A cele-bration of life will follow the burial at the Quality Inn, Clarkston, for fam-ily and friends. Please sign the online guest book at www.merchant-funeralhome.com. Me-morials in her name may be made to the Humane Society or the charity of ones choice. Friday

DEAR ABBY: I have a serious prob-lem that’s consuming my life. I know people say you never really get over your first love, but I don’t know why after six years I still think about my ex on a daily basis.
Abby, I am happily married. My hus-band is the perfect man for me — un-derstanding, sweet and patient. My ex, “Chad,” cheated on me with other wom-en and recently married the one who ef-fectively ended our relationship.
I thought I had moved on, but I can’t seem to stop thinking about him. My ex and I had a strong chemistry — not just a physical one — that my husband and I don’t. Somehow I wonder if, while my husband is the man of my dreams, Chad was my true soul mate.
I don’t want to jeopardize my mar-riage because of a lurking shadow from my past. How do I get over this and move on? — DESPERATE FOR ADVICE IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR DESPERATE: Old habits are hard to break, and sometimes memories do linger to the point of being intrusive. While it can be frustrating, this is not an indication that someone who cheated on you multiple times was your “soul mate.” If you had been meant to be together for-ever, you would still be together. Consider yourself lucky that another woman freed you from that unhealthy relationship so you could find the man you married.
What you may miss is tension, drama, uncertainty and pain, and that’s not love. The sooner you quit idealizing your ex, the more clearly you will recognize this. And if the unwanted thoughts persist, consult a therapist because your problem is not unique.
DEAR ABBY: While I was growing up, my parents taught me and my siblings to always keep a year’s salary (pre-taxes) in a savings account that one never touches.
The problem is my bride and I feel that we’re ready to buy a home, although we don’t have enough in our joint sav-ings to make a down payment. She feels I should use my savings to make the down payment.
I don’t feel right about it because this
savings technique has saved me twice in my life. Once when I was a child and my parents lost their jobs, and again when I lost my job in the recession. Am I selfish for wanting to keep my savings off limits? — MR. SAVINGS
DEAR MR. SAVINGS: No. I hap-pen to agree with your fiscally conserva-tive philosophy. You learned from experi-ence how important an emergency fund can be. Because buying a home is not an emergency, wait until you and your wife have saved enough for the down payment. Also, because the money in that savings account was yours before marriage, it may not be a joint asset, and it could save you a third time if you don’t spend it.
DEAR ABBY: My stepdaughter, age 18, has recently begun to send her father text messages while we are in the same room, rather than speak to him. It’s as if she doesn’t want me in on the conversa-tion. I find her behavior rude.
If they need to speak privately, so be it — she can wait until I’m out of the room or request to speak to him elsewhere. But I find it impolite of her to send him texts. They are nothing confidential in nature, just general conversation.
What are your thoughts on this? — BYSTANDER IN NEW YORK
DEAR BYSTANDER: What your stepdaughter is doing is as rude as when two people whisper to each other in front of a third person. My thought is that your husband, out of consideration for your feelings, should either tell her — or text her -- to cut it out.
Woman’s first marriage is over, but thoughts of her ex linger

DNR: Ammonia enters tributary in southwest IowaVILLISCA — An unknown amount of
ammonia has entered a small unnamed tribu-tary of the West Nodaway River in southwest Iowa. The state Department of Natural Re-sources says the anhydrous ammonia was re-leased from the United Farmers Mercantile Co-op in Villisca between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. It went into a city storm sewer before entering the tributary.
DNR officials detected high concentra-tions of ammonia throughout the tributary to the river, but no fish kill has been reported.
Court upholds $10,000 fine for UPS in Iowa death
DES MOINES — An appeals court is upholding $10,000 in fines for safety violations by UPS that were linked to an employee’s death at the Des Moines air-port.
The Iowa Court of Appeals on Wednesday sided with a state board that found Atlanta-based United Parcel Ser-vice Inc. committed two violations of Iowa workplace safety law.
3 Officials: State employee stole more than $241,000OSKALOOSA — A former employee
for the Iowa Department of Agriculture has been accused of stealing more than $241,000 from her employer. The state Department of Public Safety says Jessica Strasser turned her-self in Wednesday. She faces charges of first-degree theft and ongoing criminal conduct. Court records do not list an attorney. The state auditor’s office released a report in early October on the Mahaska County Soil and Water Conservation District for a time period between March 2006 and August 2013.

Woodbury County jail lawsuit settlement OK’d
SIOUX CITY — The Woodbury County Board has agreed to settle a woman’s lawsuit over what she said was mistreatment at the county jail.
The Sioux City Journal says the board ap-proved the settlement on Tuesday. The county will pay Nicole Clay $15,000, and Sioux City will pay her $7,500. Clay said in her lawsuit that corrections officers tore off her top and bra and banged her head against a wall when she was being booked into the jail on Aug. 12, 2011, for public intoxication.
Police: Iowa man tortures roommate’s kitten
IOWA CITY — Iowa City police have charged a man with aggravated animal tor-ture who they say abused his roommate’s kitten for hours. The Iowa City Press-Cit-izen reports 21-year-old Leo Nopoulos of West Liberty was released from the Johnson County Jail Wednesday after posting $5,000 bond. A University of Iowa student says his 8-week-old cat named Fritz is alive, but lost one eye and doesn’t have vision in the other.

African leaders: Ebola could lead to food crisisDES MOINES (AP)
— Financial aid and global coordination are needed to prevent the Ebola health care crisis from becoming a food emergency, agriculture ministers from West Af-rican nations at the center of the Ebola outbreak said Wednesday.
In Sierra Leone, where thousands are infected and more than 900 have died, 40 percent of the farmers have abandoned their fields, said Joseph Sam Sesay, minister of agriculture, forestry and food security.
Coffee and cocoa beans amount to about 90 percent of the country’s agricultur-
al exports, and the region where they are grown has been struck hard by the virus.
“Farms have been aban-doned. Some families have been wiped away. Some vil-lages have been wiped away. It is very serious,” Sesay said. “We have to understand that agriculture is the mainstay of our economies. If agriculture is down our economies will be down.”
Sierra Leone’s economy was expected to grow more than 11 percent this year un-til Ebola struck in May. Now growth is only predicted to be around 3 percent, he said.
Liberia Agriculture Min-ister Florence Chenoweth
says billions of dollars of outside agricultural invest-ment is gone because farm-ing has been decimated.
Liberia expected 9 percent economic growth but has ratcheted it down twice to about 2 percent, Chenoweth said. The nation had attract-ed $17.6 billion of foreign investment of which $7 was for agricultural development but those investors have left, she said, adding that a recov-ery plan has been developed.
“We are very determined, very resilient people,” she said. “We have not as min-isters of agriculture put for-ward a recovery plan for nothing. We will implement
that plan ... and rebuild our country’s agricultural sector.”
Kanayo Nwanze, president of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, a United Nations agency based in Rome, said the Ebola epi-demic is strangling regional trade and could “lead to a hunger crisis of epic propor-tions for West Africa.”
International food and medical assistance is needed to stem the spread of Ebola, he said.
“It is unfortunate that the international community does not look up to crises when they occur in what I call the forgotten world, the invisible world where peo-
ple die in rural areas from drought or disease until it grows out of proportion or until it begins to effect the larger international commu-nity,” Nwanze said. “When there’s a crisis in Timbuktu it doesn’t stay in Timbuktu anymore. Nowadays it re-verberates in Paris, London, Berlin, and Washington.”
The officials spoke Wednesday at the World Food Prize Foundation an-nual meeting in Des Moines where government, aca-demic, corporate, nonprofit agriculture and food experts gather to discuss issues of hunger and boosting agricul-tural productivity.
Weather Service leader praises Iowa flood researchIOWA CITY (AP) — The
director of the National Weather Service praised the University of Iowa’s groundbreaking flood pre-diction research, saying Wednes-day it is helping make communi-ties better prepared.
Director Louis Uccellini called the Iowa Flood Center “a tremen-dous resource” from which federal officials hope to learn. He said the center’s researchers are conducting important work that will help in-form efforts to create a new model to predict floods across the coun-try — work that will be done at the new National Water Center in Alabama.
“We’re very interested in what’s going on here locally as the Iowa Flood Center advances this whole capability,” Uccellini told The As-sociated Press after delivering a speech to about 100 people in a hotel ballroom.
Iowa Flood Center officials in-vited Uccellini to visit Iowa City as part of their longstanding push to gain recognition and funding as the first national research center to focus on flooding. Uccellini said
he would like to partner with the center — noting the agency’s local offices already rely on its work — but made no specific promises.
Formed in 2009 after flooding devastated the campus and near-by areas the prior year, the Iowa center has built and deployed a network of sensors to monitor conditions on the state’s streams and rivers. The data is fed to the center’s Iowa Flood Informa-tion System, an online applica-tion where users can see flooding conditions and projections for lo-cal waterways in real-time. Com-munity leaders praise the center’s work, which also includes updat-ing flood plain maps across Iowa.
Uccellini said the center’s stream gages were particularly important, as they supplemented those operated by the U.S. Geo-logical Survey and help fill “a re-ally big gap” in existing flood pre-diction work.
Center officials say they want the National Weather Service to consider adopting its technology, which includes a computer model that predicts how water travels
through communities during dif-ferent flooding scenarios.
“That may be a decade away for the Weather Service, but that is happening today in Iowa. That system exists,” said Larry Weber, the center’s co-founder. “They’ve talked about going to high-per-formance computing. We’re al-ready doing that. We’d like for that model in Iowa to become the model for the nation, or at least the building block for the nation.”
Weber said he would like the weather service’s parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration, to rec-ognize the Iowa Flood Center as an academic partner. He said the center would like to work with the NOAA’s National Water Center at the University of Alabama, which opened earlier this year and will focus on everything from flooding to droughts.
Weber said funding from the federal government would help the Iowa center, which has re-ceived about $30 million in state funding and grants, expand its work to the rest of the country.
Iowa man leading effort to ship food to LiberiaDES MOINES (AP)
— A Des Moines man is leading an effort to gather food to be shipped to Li-beria, one of the West Af-rican nations struggling to deal with Ebola.
Walter Gwenigale Jr., who’s lived in Des Moines for the past seven years, visited family in Liberia this summer. He saw that the deadly dis-ease was not only taking a toll on Liberia’s popu-lation but also on the nation’s food supplies. More than 2,300 people in Liberia have died from Ebola. His father serves as the minister of health and social welfare in Li-beria and is working on fighting the spread of the deadly disease.
“It’s sad because Libe-ria was just beginning to recover from a 14-year civil conflict. To see us
back in a critical situation where lives are being lost isn’t welcoming,” he said Tuesday in Des Moines. “But to know I live in a community where people want to help, want to give, that’s important.”
According to the World Bank, labor short-ages in some west Afri-can countries are limiting food production and fear of the disease abroad is hampering trade.
Hospitals usually rely on family members to bring food to patients in most western African nations, because the fa-cilities aren’t equipped to feed large amounts of people, The Des Moines Register reported. Get-ting food to Ebola pa-tients has proved to be a challenge since they are required to be quaran-tined.

What Do We Stand for Today?With a pivotal election approaching, it is hard to remain optimistic in our country and in our world. Promises of “hope and change” have translated to a greater division amongst our people, a government that knows no bounds in terms of its corruption and wastefulness, and a country that has segments of the American people becoming numb to undertaking any kind of role in the future of our country.
The greatest country in the world is starving for leadership – true leadership. We don’t need to be “transformed.” We don’t need to be redirected. We already have the playbook on how to be a great country. We just need leadership. We need leaders who can admit when they are wrong, and who can be trusted when they say they will strive to do better. But more importantly, we need leaders that have a laser focus on maintaining the rights that our country was founded on, rights that separate our country from all other countries on the face of the earth. We don’t need political correctness. We don’t need an interpreter. We need leaders whose actions and words reflect the values of the documents that inaugurated our country. We need leaders who seek to uphold and protect our Constitution.
That leadership comes from “We the people…” We need to understand that the stakes are way too high for the “status quo,” and for us to survive and thrive we have to be involved in the process. We need to support our leaders – by holding them accountable. We can’t wait for the next election to point out where they have erred; we need to make regular contact the norm, so that we can help them keep focused on what’s really important. We need to awaken to the truth that government serves the people – not the other way around. Government shouldn’t be dictating. It should be taking dictation from its people. This is our responsibility as a free people.
Near the end of his inaugural address in January of 1961, democrat John F. Kennedy declared what should still be our marching orders today. He said, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”
The message: with freedom comes responsibility. We all need to make a difference for ourselves. We need to be accountable. We need to “cowboy up.” We need to be stronger for our family, our friends, and our country. We need to be a people where the norm is to give a hand, not look for a handout. What has made our country great is that we have been a people of contributors. We have collectively strove for and seized opportunities to contribute and succeed.
So after we have had our voices heard at the ballot box, let’s follow it up with a steady stream of communication to those chosen to represent us. You pick the mode of communication – iPad, smartphone, or text. If you want, go “old school” and write a letter and send it through the US Postal Service. And while we are at it, let’s stay away from the “sound bites” provided by the mainstream media and do our homework for ourselves. Our leaders will only be as good as we make them.

Jocelyn Sheet/Daily NewsGetting back to doing what they do the best offensively has been the focus for Newton High’s Cardinals this week in practices. The Cardinals use their quickness to run on the edge with running backs like senior Tristan Peters (25). Newton hosts Bondurant-Farrar Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium in Class 3A District 3 play.
Pregame Outlook —
Cardinals, Bluejays square off in district play
There’s no secrets going into Week 8 of the Iowa high school football season. Teams know what other teams do best. Teams know what is at stake.
Newton High’s Cardi-nals know what is at stake in their final home game of the regular season Friday night. The Cardinals know Bondurant-Farrar’s Blue-Jays come into the Class 3A District 6 contest with the leading rusher in Class 3A.
“There’s no secret who
is getting the football on offense. They’ve been able to run the ball against ev-ery team they’ve played, so you know they do it well,” said Ed Ergenbright, Car-dinal head coach. “The best way to limit him and their offense comes down to our offense. We hang onto the football, move the football and score.”
It is Senior Night for Newton at H.A. Lynn Sta-dium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
Newton, Grinnell and Ballard each go into Friday night’s games tied at 3-1 in District 6 games. Newton
has wins over both Grinnell and Ballard. Bondurant-Farrar is at 3-2 followed by Gilbert at 2-2, Benton at 1-4 and Nevada at 0-4. The top four teams from the district move into the 3A playoffs.
“We have to win our fi-nal two games to win the district title. The kids know what is at stake,” Ergen-bright said. “I’m very proud of how our guys have re-sponded after that loss to Pella. They’ve come back this week with good atti-tudes and ready to work.”
Grant Peterson, Bondu-
rant-Farrar’s senior running back, leads 3A in rushing with 1,742 yards on 202 carries. Peterson averages 8.6 yards a carry and has scored 18 touchdowns. He also is the BlueJays’ leading receiver, 11 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns.
As a team, Newton has 1,712 rushing yards. The Cardinals utilize five run-ning backs along with their quarterback and top receiv-er to run the football. They
Jacobsen inspires as Cardinal player despite disability
Playing football under the Fri-day night lights is the dream of all little boys.
Collin Jacobsen is living his dream as a starting defensive lineman for Newton High’s Car-dinals. The senior is considered by his teammates and coaches as the “hardest worker” on the team.
That says a great deal about the character of the young man who wears No. 59 for the NHS varsity football team. Jacobsen had not logged much varsity playing time in his previous three years on the squad.
“He doesn’t back down from anything,” said Cardinal head coach Ed Ergenbright. “He
doesn’t take the easy way out, and he could. That’s not Collin.”
Jacobsen has cerebral palsy. Jacobsen and his twin sister Mi-chaela were born three months premature. He said he weighed 1 pound, 15 ounces and Michaela came in at 2 pounds, 2 ounces.
Jacobsen said it was discov-ered he had bleeding in his brain, which led to cerebral palsy.
“The bleeding was in the right side of my brain which controls the left side of my body. I went through a lot of physical therapy to develop my motor skills. I’m not coordinated at all with my left hand,” Jacobsen said.
“But, I’ve always tried to find a way to compete. I love being out there (in sports) with my friends.”
Jacobsen’s parents, Mike and
Colleen, said they’ve always en-couraged their children to do any-thing they wanted to do. Jacobsen played baseball and basketball, participated in gymnastics and played football as he grew up.
“I remember I was 3 or 4 when my dad would take me out in the back yard and we’d toss the base-ball and football around. I played basketball and baseball in middle school, but football was my love,” Jacobsen said.
Cerebral palsy did not deter Ja-cobsen from playing his favorite sport. He said he worked hard in the weight room, but knew there were things he couldn’t do because of the limited mobility of his left side.

Sports calendar IOWA CITY (AP)
— Iowa is halfway through a season in which it has yet to play up to its potential.
And yet the Hawk-eyes are 5-1, 2-0 in the Big Ten and tied atop the West division.
It seems like resil-ience is one of Iowa’s best traits in 2014.
The Hawkeyes have dealt with a ton of issues on offense, and they beat Indiana at home last weekend despite al-lowing a number of big plays defensively.
But Iowa heads to Maryland (4-2, 1-1) on Saturday with a shot at bowl eligibility and a week of rest ahead of a grueling stretch to end the regular season.
“It’s what we do mov-ing forward. So that’s going to be the key right now. The one thing that’s been constant, our guys have had a good attitude,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “We haven’t always played
as well as we need to, and the big thing is how much improvement can we make here in the next seven weeks.
For weeks, Iowa’s biggest question has been at quarterback.
Starter Jake Rudock appears to have an-swered it.
Rudock went 14 of 18 passing for 179 yards in the first half and threw a pair of TD passes as the Hawkeyes offense matched its best effort of the season, 31 points, in just two quarters against the Hoosiers.
Backup C.J. Beath-ard played extensively in the second half as part of Iowa’s plan to rotate both quarterbacks.
But the Hawkeyes went with a more con-servative game plan behind Beathard, both because they held a big lead and because Indiana was forced to play untested fresh-man Chris Covington. Indiana’s starting quar-
terback, Nate Sudfeld, separated his shoulder in the second quarter and is now out for the year.
Beathard completed just two passes for nine yards in the 45-29 win.
“He’s grown and get-ting better...I thought he played really well,” Ferentz said about Ru-dock. “We expect Jake to play well, and we ex-pect C.J. to play well. I thought he played well while he was in there. So that’s one position where I feel pretty good about knowing what we’re going to get.”
Iowa’s defense re-mains among the best in the Big Ten, allowing just 19.2 points a game.
But for the second time this season, its back seven was burned in space by an opposing running back.
The Hawkeyes al-lowed three comple-tions of at least 50 yards to Northern Iowa’s David Johnson in the
opener, all of those off of short passes in the flat. Last weekend, In-diana’s Tevin Coleman had touchdown runs of 83, 69 and 45 yards and finished with 219 yards on just 15 carries.
Ferentz gave the bulk of the credit to Cole-man, who now leads the nation in 1,060 rushing yards, and Indiana’s line certainly gave Coleman space on his big runs.
But the Hawkeyes defense lost focus after jumping ahead 28-7 in the first quarter.
It nearly cost them the lead.
“It was a little bit of everything,” Iowa line-backer Quinton Alston said. “We got a little bit relaxed, and when we got a little bit too re-laxed that’s when those big plays started to pop off.”
Still, Iowa has two things working in its fa-vor.
The Hawkeyes have started to establish the
run — and they have a reputation for improv-ing as the season wears on.
Iowa has yet to have a 100-yard rusher this season, which remains a curious statistic for a program so synonymous with a pro-style attack. But senior Mark Weis-man is starting to look a lot like the lead back the Hawkeyes hoped he’d be this season, and he’s the healthiest he’s been heading into the heart of league play.
Iowa, which played its best in late Novem-ber last season, has the last week of October off before facing division rivals Northwestern, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska; all sand-wiched by a trip to Illi-nois, in a stretch of just 27 days.
“We’ve been in po-sitions really close to this,” Ferentz said. “It’s the second half of the season that determines typically who we are.”
Hawkeyes show resilience during 5-1 start
AMES (AP) — Iowa State spent years try-ing 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 keep-ing their slim bowl hopes alive.
Richardson, a junior, has thrown 10 TD pass-
es with just four picks through six games and is Iowa State’s leading rusher with 283 yards.
“Sam’s level of play has been very important in keeping us competitive,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “He was re-ally, really good in the sec-ond half in that (Toledo) game and we need him to remain that way and even keep improving.”
In hindsight, Rich-ardson’s remarkable 2012 debut — 23 of 27 pass-ing for 250 yards and four TDs off the bench at Kansas — looks more like a fluke than an in-dicator of future perfor-mance.
But Richardson is also better now than he looked last year while fighting through injuries to his throwing thumb and leg during what was essen-tially 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 im-provements in fall prac-tice, impressing Rhoads and offensive coordina-tor 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 intercep-tion. 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 Bay-lor on Sept. 27.
Against Toledo, Rich-ardson threw all three TD passes in the second half as Iowa State over-came 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.
Though the weap-ons around Richardson have diminished, but his progress hasn’t.
Iowa State lost wide receiver Quenton Bun-drage — perhaps the program’s most talented player — for the season in the opener, and prom-ising 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 defens-es haven’t had to worry too much about getting beat on the ground.
Yet, if the rest of the team can mirror Rich-ardson’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.
Iowa State sees improvement in quarterback Richardson
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Crown these Royals the Ameri-can League champions.
After nearly three decades spent trying to return to the playoffs, Kansas City is taking its perfect postseason ride all the way to the World Series.
With more dominant defense, an opportunis-tic offense that plated two runs in the first in-ning, and a bull-pen that shut down the Bal-timore Orioles once again, Greg Holland and the wild-card Roy-als wrapped up a sweep of the AL Championship Series with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday.
Next stop: The Roy-als’ first Fall Classic since 1985.
“It’s been an amazing run. This is great,” said left fielder Alex Gor-don, who made another jarring catch. “We’ve been playing pretty good baseball. It’s noth-ing better than when you win. Today, same old story: good pitch-ing, good defense and scratch out a win.”
Outfielder Lorenzo Cain was selected MVP of the ALCS, batting .533 and leading an out-standing defense.
After holding the Orioles to three hits in Game 3 on Tuesday night, Jason Vargas and
the Royals bullpen near-ly turned the trick again. Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis ushered the game to Holland, who matched Dennis Eck-ersley’s record by saving his fourth game of the best-of-seven series.
Making his first start in nearly two weeks, Vargas shut down the vaunted Orioles lineup.
The only damage he al-lowed came in the third inning, when Ryan Fla-herty led off with a home run that just skirted the foul pole in right field.
By that point, the Royals had already man-ufactured a pair of runs.
Alcides Escobar sin-gled off Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez to open the game, and Nori Aoki was drilled on the right knee a cou-ple pitches later. Royals manager Ned Yost then opted to bunt with Cain, one of his hottest hit-ters, to advance both of the runners.
Hosmer followed with a chopping groundball, and first baseman Steve Pearce
went home with it. Es-cobar slid safely and the ball bounded away from catcher Caleb Joseph, allowing Aoki to fol-low his teammate home and giving the scrappy, small-ball Royals a 2-0 lead.
After that, it was up to their defense and bullpen.
Escobar turned a pair of double plays early in the game to help Vargas escape jams, and Gordon made a spectacu-lar catch while crashing into the left-field wall to rob Har-dy of extra bases leading off the fifth inning. In the sixth, second
baseman Omar Infante was in perfect position to snag Nelson Cruz’s line drive and leave run-ners on the corners.
Herrera breezed through the seventh and Davis handled the eighth, just as they have all season, and Holland slammed the door on his fourth save of the series.
And set off of a wild celebration that had been 29 years in the making.
“It wasn’t pretty. It’s all right, though. We find ways to win,” Gor-don said. “Good teams find ways to win, and that’s what we did. So we’re going to keep go-ing and hope we make it even more special here.”
Royals headed to World SeriesSAN FRANCISCO
(AP) — Buster Posey drove in three runs and the San Francisco Gi-ants took advantage of some clunky defense by St. Louis first base-man Matt Adams, beat-ing the Cardinals 6-4 on Wednesday night to move within one victory of the World Series.
San Fran-cisco climbed out of an early three-run hole, and back-to-back bad throws by Ad-ams in the sixth inning helped the Giants rally — one night after a wild toss by St. Louis reliever Randy Choate allowed the winning run to score in the 10th inning.
The Cardinals were clinging to a 4-3 lead when San Francisco put runners at second and third. Playing in with one out, the lumber-ing Adams backhanded Gregor Blanco’s bouncer and stumbled as he tried to set himself to throw home.
Adams had trouble with the transfer, and his toss short-hopped catcher Tony Cruz as Juan Perez slid across with the tying run.
Joe Panik then hit a grounder right to Ad-ams, who stepped on first base before firing wildly to second in try-ing for a double play.
Brandon Crawford stopped about halfway between third and home, yet was able to score eas-ily when Adams threw wide of the bag.
Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta came way off the base to catch the ball, but had no play at the plate.
Posey added an RBI
single off Seth Maness to make it 6-4. The star catcher also had a sacri-fice fly in the first and a run-scoring single in the third.
These Giants joke about not needing hits and home runs to win, and they’re showing that with timely bunts, small ball and a few miscues from the opponent. The tying and go-ahead runs came home on balls that didn’t leave the infield.
Yusmeiro Petit pitched three scoreless innings to win in relief of an ineffective Ryan Vo-gelsong. Petit has been a valuable long man — he delivered six shutout innings in an 18-inning NLDS victory at Wash-
ington.Sergio Romo worked
the eighth and Santiago Casilla finished for his second save of the series.
A total of six Giants relievers held St. Louis scoreless over the final six innings.
Marco Gonzales took the loss after issuing a leadoff walk to pinch-
hitter Perez in the sixth and giving up a single to Craw-ford.
The Giants haven’t homered in six games since Brandon Belt connected in the 18th inning at Washington, but it hasn’t mattered much.
When Choate retired Panik on a
comebacker to end the fourth, the left-hander sprinted to within a few feet of first before toss-ing the ball underhand-ed to Adams.
The Cardinals grounded into three double plays that cost them chances to add on to their early 1-0 lead. They turned a couple gems of their own, too, before the blunders.
Vogelsong was the only pitcher in major league history to yield no more than one run in his first five postseason starts, but his streak end-ed when he gave up four in three innings. San Francisco has still won all six of the postseason games he has started.
San Francisco take 3-1 series lead

also have 756 yards in the passing department.
“We did add some things to our offense, but we have to execute offensively. We have to take advantage of ev-ery opportunity to score points,” Ergenbright said.
Ergenbright said if the Cardinals are con-trolling the line of scrimmage offensively, it helps the team defen-sively. He said Newton’s defense has been on the field “way too long at times this season be-cause of turnovers or lack of movement by our offense.”
Limiting yards after contact has been a big focus for the defense. Ergenbright said the Cardinal defensive play-ers have to tackle better.
“We talked about if we were going to allow the loss to Pella define us or get back to what we do well. It appears the guys are ready to get our mojo going again,” Ergenbright said.
The Cardinals get senior Wes Streeter back to play on the offensive and defensive line after he missed three weeks of action. Senior line-backer Brett Wolf is out with a health issue this week.

“Collin finds ways to improve himself in the weight room and on the practice field. He never just sits one out,” Ergenbright said.
Jacobsen’s desire and determination paid off this season — a season in which Newton is in a position to win a Class 3A district championship. The Cardinals are 5-2 over-all and 3-1 in district play going into Week 8 with two more district games to play.
“I wanted to be able to play my senior year. Did I think I had a chance to play? I wanted to,” Jacobsen said. “I just wanted to play. I never thought I’d be starting.”
A week ago, Jacobsen said he was ex-
cited about being able to line up across from one of the best offensive linemen — Pella’s Garret Jensen — in Class 3A and the state of Iowa. Coaches, teammates and his parents tell the stories of a young-er Jacobsen volunteering to go up against former Newton standout Derek Hurt in practices. Hurt is playing for Northwest-ern College in Orange City.
“We were surprised and so proud of Collin when we saw he was starting,” said Colleen Jacobsen, Collin’s mother. “As a mother, you are always concerned that your children will get hurt competing. But with my background, I really wasn’t that concerned about Collin out there even though he is smaller than most of the players he lines up against.”
Colleen’s father is Duane Twait, who coached Emmetsburg to seven Class 2A state football titles and seven state runner-up spots. Kevin Twait, Colleen’s brother, is the head football coach at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge.
“Football is huge in my family,” Ja-cobsen said. “I love talking football with anybody who will talk about it with me. Football is something I look forward to when I get up in the morning. It is some-thing that keeps me going. It is a reason why I work so hard in the weight room.”
Mike Jacobsen said his son was a good baseball player growing up.
“I taught Collin how to catch and throw with his right hand. It was an idea I got watching Jim Abbott, who was a pro-fessional baseball pitcher who did it with his left hand. Abbott was born without a right hand but could throw and catch with his left hand,” Mike said. “Collin be-came very proficient at throwing the base-ball and transferring his glove to his right hand so he could catch the ball.”
Jacobsen pitched for his Newton Little
League and Babe Ruth teams. Football called him to the field when he was in fifth grade.
“Collin was one of the more aggressive players on our youth football team,” said Mike, who helped coach the team. “Col-lin has always had a great attitude and he never has been down on himself. I was concerned playing sports might be a let-down for him, but not with him.”
“We encouraged him to take band, but his real love was football,” Colleen said. “He and Michaela work very hard at the sports they love. They are really close. Collin was a good baseball player. Mi-chaela not so much as a softball player. Collin loves football and Michaela loves basketball.”
So, football it is for Jacobsen. He put in his time on the Cardinal scout teams throughout the three years prior to his se-nior season. His parents talked to him and prepared him for the fact that he might not play much as a senior “but we never discouraged him from being out there. It is what he wanted to do,” Colleen said.

Astrograph
The Cancer moon encouraged such an out-pouring of feeling that some will feel slightly drained and drawn to the sort of practical tasks that don’t require emotional investment. For those who care to recount the details of the past few days, the Leo moon favors the story-tellers, embellishments encouraged.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 16). You won’t fail to delight people. That’s why they keep calling, inviting themselves over and inhabiting your life in the most interesting ways. The next three months are filled with social activity, and then it quiets down in Febru-ary, when you’ll get a good chunk of work accomplished. You’ll cash in around March. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 2, 11, 24 and 18.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your five senses are not the only perceivers you have. Evocative thoughts will tingle your mind as if to let you
know that your cerebral matter is working to help you understand and operate better.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you match up your life with the life of another — work when the other person is work-ing and play when the other person is playing — it will bring harmony and good luck to the relationship.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Faith is a muscle strengthened through use. So in what and whom do you be-lieve? Today gives you the chance to prove or disprove the theory.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re the one with the long view.Look to the horizon and tell your crew what’s coming, because they depend on your vision, not to mention your organizational powers.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Enthusiasm is catching. Right now it’s coming from someone else. You’ll take the energy and amplify it for
everyone who is in-volved with what you’re doing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Where does your mind go when you en-gage with things? That’s the question your loved one is intrigued with now, and any questions along those lines should be flattering. It’s good to be cared about.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You used to get more help to do the workload you’re cur-rently managing alone. You’ve become stronger. Acknowledge how far you’ve come — and this is only the beginning.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your personal life is shifting. You’ll think about who you really care about and adjust your priorities so that you’re not frittering your energy away doing things that really don’t matter to you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wouldn’t put shoes in the refrigerator. Everything has its place. Social and emotional
matters also require or-ganization, and you’ll be noticing how you really feel about a person and where they fit into your life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you think is cool, they might not. Try to see things the way they do. It doesn’t mean you have to agree with them, but you’ll deal more effectively if you understand them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You weren’t exactly working toward a lead-ership position, and yet this is really best for everyone — a happy outcome of the situation. You are in charge now, and it’s good to be king.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Considering that when history repeats itself it is usually giving you an opportunity to do something different this time around, you’ll make a novel choice. You’ll try a new door. You’ll choose surpris-ingly.

Fellow senior Mason Bowes and Nick Easley re-flected how his NHS teammates look at Jacobsen.
“Collin always knows what he is doing on the field. He studies a lot and prepares for the games really well,” said Bowes, who plays on the defen-sive line with Jacobsen. “He’s always making other people better. Collin holds himself accountable. If he does make a mistake he’s the first one to admit it and he is the first one to fix it. He is inspirational to us out here.”
“I’ve know Collin a long time and played football with him as we grew up. It’s pretty amazing what he does,” Easley said. “He works harder than any of us out here and has half the able body parts then we do and still gets the job done. He is so strong and works so hard.”
Newton defensive coach Andy Cazett said Jacob-sen gives 100 percent effort 100 percent of the time. Cazett and Ergenbright said Jacobsen earned his starting spot this season.
“He played so well in practice and did everything we wanted him to do that there was no way we couldn’t give him a starting spot,” Cazett said. “Col-lin does things right. That is what he is all about. He gets us lined up correctly on the defensive line.
“Collin is not going to make the great plays. He is going to do what he needs to do to be successful and to help his team,” Cazett added.
Ergenbright said Jacobsen has a great football mind. He said Jacobsen is looking for the next thing he can do to help his team.
“Collin is a remarkable young man and a totally unselfish kid. He doesn’t use his disability as an ex-cuse. It motivates him to overcome the limitations
it has put on him,” Ergenbright said. “There are no short cuts for Collin.”
Jacobsen is the first one to admit that he isn’t the
greatest football player on the field.“I can’t tackle to save my life. I think I have two
solo tackles this year and that’s from the kid trip-ping over me,” Jacobsen said with a smile on his face. “My technique is a little bit different than ev-erybody else’s. My role is to get as deep (in the back-field) as I can, cause havoc, fall down and disrupt things along the line of scrimmage so linebackers can make the plays.
“It’s about trusting my teammates, and them trusting that I’m going to do what I’m suppose to do. I trust that they are going to make tackles. The coaches know I struggle with pass rush at times, but they are alright with that. My teammates do a lot for me behind the scenes like help me put my shoul-der pads on.”
Ergenbright said Jacobsen does his job so well in practices that it is a bit frustrating for the Cardinal offense.
“What an asset he is for our team. Not just be-cause he works hard on the field, but by his example off the field and his leadership,” Ergenbright said.
Officially, through seven games, Jacobsen has four solo tackles, two assisted tackles and a quar-terback hurry.
“Playing football my senior season with my friends means absolutely everything to me,” Jacob-sen said. “I’ve worked hard to get to where I am, so I really work hard to do my job and play to the whistle. For the younger players, I hope the message I’m sending is to work hard to obtain your goals.”
Jacobsen said he is working with a group of coaches in California developing a new wrinkle to the game of football. The football package is going to be released to coaches this winter, he said.
Following high school, Jacobsen said he is look-ing at colleges such as Drake University and Tru-man State University on his way to law school. He’d like to coach football at some level.
“My family has been so supportive. My parents never said I couldn’t do something. Michaela and I are close and I look to her and how hard she works. She puts so many hours into basketball,” Jacobsen said. “Courtney, our younger sister, is doing well in volleyball this season.”
Jacobsen has two more regular season games in his senior season, plus the Cardinals will be in the 3A playoffs. No matter how long the run is for the 2014 Cardinal football team, it is a senior season No. 59 will remember.
“I just love being out there with my friends play-ing the game I love.”
