PRO Green Bay at Cincinnati

COLLEGE Auburn at LSU Michigan St. at Notre Dame

COMMENTARY Frankie Aliu: Green Bay: If Jay Cutler can beat Cincinnati, Aaron Rodgers should have no problem against the Bengals. Denver: After three games Peyton Manning will have thrown 15 touchdown passes, well past the pace of the record-breaking year for Tom Brady who had 50 touchdown passes in 2007. Dallas: Dallas defense too much for Sam Bradford. DeMarcus Ware takes over, forces a fumble and has two sacks in this game. LSU: By more than four touchdowns. Sorry Auburn fans but the only way you win is if Cam Newton walks through that door and that’s not possible. Notre Dame wins at home. Jeff Forward: Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers too hot to stop; Eddie Lacy scores two TDs as Cincy remains winless. Denver: Terrelle Pryor has another 200 yards passing, 100 yards rushing; but Peyton tosses six TDs to continue hot streak. Dallas: Tony Romo and the Dallas ‘D’ win again and remain undefeated. LSU: The Tigers will have no trouble dispatching War Eagle. Michigan State: May be a sleeper in the Big Ten; I’m going for a Spartan victory on the road. All Hail D’Antonio! Kristi Nixon: Green Bay: Cincinnati is going to be the death of Marvin Lewis. Denver: Peyton will be Peyton‌who we think he is. Dallas: Even though St. Louis is a much-improved team, it’s not happening for the Rams yet. Auburn: I call the upset – you heard it here first. Michigan State: Big Ten over Notre Dame, yet again my friends. Nick Pedley: Cincinnati: I don’t even know who the Bengals’ quarterback is. Denver: Manning throws five touchdowns. Easily. St. Louis: Who cares? LSU: I don’t know much about Auburn other than they stink and they hate Gene Chizik as much as Iowa State fans do. Michigan State: Sparty’s defense holds on last minute push by Irish offense. MSU still finishes in the middle of the pack in Big 10 following annual choke job. Ryan Harvey: Green Bay: Bengals continue to improve, but the Packers are too good for them. Denver: If Peyton throws for 7 TDs against the Ravens, what will he do against the Raiders? I’ll say 8. St. Louis: Will this be Tavon Austin’s coming out party? LSU: LSU’s strength will overpower Gus’ Auburn crew. Notre Dame: Should be an interesting battle in South Bend; I’ll take the Irish.

Letters to the Editor

Doesn’t appreciate article’s tone about Branstad 7R WKH HGLWRU I am writing in response to Jeff Forward’s article covering Gov. Branstad’s town hall meeting in Hampton, Aug. 27. I attended this meeting. The words we choose are very important. We may agree or disagree with someone. But, we still need to show respect to each other.

As I read Mr. Forward’s article, I did not feel he was showing respect to Cindy Dirksen with his words. He ZURWH /RFDO UHVLGHQW &LQG\ 'LUNVHQ took over a portion of the town hall meeting engaging Branstad in a rambling, lengthy rant about education — at times drawing heated responses from the governor who disagreed with some of her statements.

This is a Republic Mr. Forward and Gov. Branstad is an elected ofÀFLDO ZKR DQVZHUV WR WKH SHRSOH Even if the Governor and Mrs. Dirksen had a difference of opinion, both should be respected. You, as an editor, needs to choose your words with respect to the people in your articles. Alyce Hugeback Hampton

Memories, good times revived during Assisted Living Week By Jeff Forward Local senior citizens got a chance to remember the past, take part in some fun activities, and in general celebrate life during Assisted Living Week, celebrated locally from Sept. 9 to Sept. 15 by various assisted living facilities. 2IÂżFLDOV DW /HDK\ *URYH DQG Franklin Prairie, two assisted living KRPHV DIÂżOLDWHG WR WKH $%&0 &RUS in Hampton, took time during the week to engage their residents in all sorts of fun activities – such as family portrait day, pie-making, a dog show, a visit to the Franklin County Historical Museum, and rides on “Gatorsâ€? down the bike path through town.

“It brought up some happy memories,� said Whitney Pralle, marketing coordinator for ABCM. Pralle helped organize many of the activities, including the “Gator� rides, which started at the Franklin Wellness Center. A large group of elderly folks from both Leahy Grove and Franklin Prairie arrived at the Franklin Wellness Center on Sept. 11 for the “Gator� rides – sponsored by Franklin County Conservation. Park rangers Joel Vinson and Logan Van Dyke loaded the riders into the “Gator� – which is essentially a four-wheel drive golf cart – and took them for a speedy ride down the Hampton bike path.

“It was fun to see the backside of town,â€? said Mildred Bell as she atWHPSWHG WR Âż[ KHU KDLUGR Âł,W ZHQW VR fast, we got windblown.â€? Bell’s partner on the ride – Maxine Freese – said the whole week had been fun, but she did especially enjoy the “Gatorâ€? ride. “Just seeing where you went,â€? she said. Vinson said the Franklin County Conservation organization enjoys helping out with local events and the free “Gatorâ€? rides were one way for them to give back to the local community. “They enjoyed it,â€? Vinson said of the “Gatorâ€? rides. “Just to get out and get some fresh air is good.â€?

Pralle said assisted living is very common in today’s society and is essentially a place where people of any age who need some sort of assistance in living daily life can reside. People who may need some help with day-to-day activities like cooking, cleaning, taking medications, bathing or just life in general. “If someone needs assistance, it’s a community where people can live and get assistance,� Pralle said. “Some still have cars. Most of them come and go and go shopping.� Morgan Prestholt, who is manager of Leahy Grove, said one of the more popular events that was held during the week was a pie-making seminar conducted by Cathy Carl-

son of Hampton called “Homemade Happiness.� Carlson did a demonstration on pie-making and then residents indulged their sweet teeth, munching on all the pie-goodness. “We all reminisced about when they were young and we all had to make pies,� Prestholt said. “So, they remember making pies with their moms and grandmas.� “We’re just doing different things to reminisce about their home and their hometown,� Prestholt added. “Something different.�

Killer instinct: Peterson dictates tempo in upset of No. 11 Bearcats

By Kristi Nixon GREENE – It is amazing how one player can make a difference. Despite Class 2A No. 11-ranked North Butler’s plethora of weapons, West Fork senior Lindsey Peterson, the go-to girl among the Warhawks, made sure that her team would be the one walking away undefeated on Thursday, Sept. 12. The match was made to be an interesting one from the get-go as both entered with unblemished UHFRUGV ZLWK Ă€YH DQG WZR ZLQV among them, but West Fork outlasted 1RUWK %XWOHU 25-20, 15-10. “North Butler is a big rival of ours ever since it joined Allison and Greene,â€? West Fork coach Abbee Gappa said. “We’ve done a phenomenal job of just keeping our heads in, knowing that they are a beatable team and tonight we proved it.â€? Peterson put down 30 kills, 15 in the last three games, including match point in which she knocked the shot off of North Butler’s block and out of bounds for the winner. She added GLJV WKUHH EORFNV DQG IRXU DFHV “She does a phenomenal job,â€? Gappa said of Peterson. “She isn’t too much of a loud speaker, but when she’s out there, she controls the tempo on the court and when we need a point, she comes through. The girls know that, they respect her for it and I don’t think there is a lot of controversy and I love it.â€? 6KH KDG NLOOV LQ MXVW WKUHH matches in the early going. “We looked at Lindsey Peterson coming in and you know she’s good,â€? North Butler coach Bryan Tabbert said. “Back row, front row, no matter where she was at, she was going to kill us. I thought we played a little slow on our feet. “You could see when the games

were on the line, no matter where she was, as soon as the ball was in the setter’s hands, you could call outside because you knew she was going to be there – she made the plays.â€? The key for West Fork was controlling the tempo. North Butler had a chance to swing momentum its way in the VHFRQG JDPH ZKHQ LW WUDLOHG only to rally and tie it at 19, forcing the Warhawks to call timeout.

Gappa said, “and you know, the girls pulled together and it takes a lot to know the game and know what’s going on. They believed in themselves.â€? Setter Peyton Perkins, who tallied 19 assists, said that it was a great feeling to earn the win over a ranked team. “We’ve worked really hard in practice,â€? Perkins said. “All the momentum we had when we won, every hit, every point, it’s just a great feeling. It’s amazing.â€?

Perkins added, “We just did our best to keep our heads in the game because it is hard when they down a ball and you can’t get it back up – it’s tough, but keeping your head in the game is the most important thing.â€?

No. 5 G-H/V flies past West Fork, 59-0 By Nick Pedley The West Fork football team ran into a buzzsaw Friday night in ShefÂżHOG IDOOLQJ WR ÂżIWK UDQNHG *DUQHU +D\ÂżHOG 9HQWXUD The visiting Cardinals (3-0) dominated the Warhawks on both sides of the ball throughout the entire game, and West Fork mustered only 91 yards of total offense on the night. G-H/V racked up 315 yards on the ground and punted only twice. West Fork was the third-straight team the Cardinals held scoreless this season. “The scoreboard doesn’t show it, but we made them drive on us,â€? said Warhawk head coach Rodney Huber. “I think we played hard throughout, which is something I wanted to see. G-H/V is a good team.â€? *DUQHU +D\ÂżHOG 9HQWXUD JRW RQ the board with 9 minutes, 4 seconds OHIW LQ WKH ÂżUVW TXDUWHU DQG QHYHU looked back.

West Fork experienced little success on the ground or through the air, and found themselves down 46-0 at the half. “We had some dropped balls. Spencer (Halloran) had some missed

throws. There were some plays where guys were open and it seemed like he just didn’t hit them,â€? Huber said. “Our line’s gotta get better, too. There’s no doubt about that.â€? The Cardinals scored twice in the third quarter to pull ahead 59-0. West Fork threatened late in the fourth and got down to G-H/V’s seven yard line. However, the defense held and the Warhawks turned the ball over on downs after a pass from Halloran to Logan Plagge fell incomplete. Huber felt West Fork’s defense did a better job than they did the previous week against Belmond-Klemme. However, the coach noted the unit still has some work to do. “Our defensive line has been a big priority for us and I think they played better.

By Kristi Nixon LATIMER – CAL brought out the old broom.

So many sweet memories are held dearly in our hearts. We think of you always. That is the light within us that comforts and shines... A path toward home, Son. We love you our precious child, and we always will. ~ Mom & Dad
