The boards will meet jointly at 7 p.m. in alternating sites between Holstein and Schaller, with flexibility in case of conflicts of location. Ridge View received correspondence from the Iowa High School Athletic Association in regards to Ridge View being one out of 191 schools across the state of Iowa that did not have a coach or high school athlete ejected from an event during the 2015-16 school year. The Iowa High School Athletic Association also sent notification that Early was honored for 100 years or more of being a member of the IHSAA. The G-H board approved the following contracts: Jeanne Bell, quiz bowl sponsor for $573; Anita Radke, half-time fifth grade at $19,555; Morgan Clausen, special education aide for $9 an hour; Denise Conover, special education aide for $9 per hour, and Katie ____ as high school girls’ cross country coach.

Both boards approved the sharing contract for Clay Drenth, high school FFA and ag instructor. Discussion was held and approval was given for sharing a curriculum director with River Valley for 20 percent of the time for Ridge View High School. TAP employee salaries were approved for the following: Dorene Horstman at $29,837, Felicia Madden at $29,837, Jenn Nixon at $33,280 and Jay Pratt at $35,575.

certified annual report. The S-C board will approve June financials, either at a special meeting or at the regular meeting in October. The G-H board also held discussion and approved modifying the retirement incentive from 2015-16 for Anita Radke. Due to difficulty filling the half-time fifth grade teaching position, the retirement incentive clause that would not allow Radke to be re-hired had to be removed. The district advertised and interviewed for the position; however, both candidates turned down the position. The board noted, “We have made a good faith effort to find a person for this position, and we were not able to do so.” Following discussion, the G-H board approved selling the tractor that has been used to remove snow after the purchase of a new Skid-Steer Bobcat. The minimum bid of $7,500 was approved, and it will be advertised for two weeks in local newspapers. S-C approved repair work on the boiler in the Schaller building up to $28,000.

Conservation board sets date for Halloween hike, pumpkin contest The Ida County Conservation Board on Sept. 12 set the date for its annual Halloween hike and pumpkin carving contest. The pumpkin carving will take place on Friday, Oct. 14 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the shop in Moorehead Park. The hike will be Saturday, Oct. 15 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. starting at the Conservation Center at Moorehead Park. Activities will include: hayrack rides, trick-or-treat stations, skits, Stagecoach Inn and Douglas Schoolhouse tours, crafts, a critter encounter, a scavenger hunt, treats and face painting. Parks Director Paige Alesch is looking for volunteers to participate in skits and bring baked goods. The theme of this year’s hike will be “Creatures of the Night.” The board was updated on a variety of projects. Alesch informed the board that the power update project on the upper level of Crawford Creek is completed. The electrician has been paid and the paperwork to be reimbursed by the betterment foundation is completed. The board briefly discussed writing the 2017 Ida County Community Betterment Foundation grant for the second half of the power update project at Crawford Creek Recreation Area. No decision was made on the matter. Discussions on repairing the rope bridge continued. Conservation board staff, board members and a couple volunteers from the community will set a time to replace the support pole, anchor it

to the other supporting poles and reattach the bridge to the new pole. After this step is completed, individual boards on the bridge will be replaced. The project is to be completed by Sept. 23. Alesch informed the board that Leon Edsen would like to install an indoor beehive at the Conservation Center. The display hive would allow visitors to watch the bees work, make honey and lay and hatch eggs safely. The bees would be safely contained and have access to go outside through a tube in the wall. The board decided to move ahead with the bee display. Alesch will work with Edsen to start the project. Alesch briefly updated the board on replacement of a dock at Crawford Creek Recreation Area. The wood dock on the north side of the lake was rotted and had to be rebuilt. The work has been completed, which makes the dock more functional and much safer for public use.

Alesch presented the board with a specifications sheet for the possible purchase of a new truck. Alesch suggested, and the board approved, trading in both the 2001 Dodge pickup and the 2004 Crown Victoria for a four-wheel drive, half-ton pickup. Alesch will contact the local dealerships and put the notice of bid letting in the newspaper. Alesch gave the board an update on upcoming naturalist programs. The monarch-tagging event was well attended, as was the first preschool program of the season. Many school programs are in the process of being scheduled. Naturalist Danielle Bennett has been working on updating the enclosures for the live education animals in the Conservation Center. The update will provide a safer, healthier and more stimulating environment for the animals. The next board meeting is Monday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Conservation Center in Moorehead Park.

Holstein council okays change proposals The Holstein City Council met in special session Sept. 12 to discuss change proposal options for cement work at the new maintenance shop. Public works director Scott Neimeier presented the following options: Option 1: To replace gravel driveway with concrete and move gravel

to north side, $19,143. Option 2: To replace gravel driveway with concrete and eliminate gravel, $11,593. Option 3: Furnish and install halfinch rebar at 18-inches to exterior paving, $2,912. The council approved options one and three.

Horn Memorial Hospital adds 3D mammography Horn Memorial Hospital announced that it is the latest health care facility to add new state-ofthe-art breast imaging technology called 3D breast tomosynthesis for better breast cancer detection. The facility’s True Breast Tomosynthesis solution takes aim at improving breast cancer detection, reducing false-positive findings and cutting patient callbacks. True Breast Tomosynthesis is 3D mammogram technology that is proven to detect breast cancer better than traditional 2D mammography alone. While standard 2D mammograms take an image of the top and bottom side of a patient’s breast, True Breast Tomosynthesis takes 25 images of the breast from many angles as the X-ray tube moves across the breast in a 50-degree arc. The images are assembled into a 3D study so doctors can see the breast tissue in fine detail. The 3D image allows them to see clearly

through breast tissue that may be overlapping, or through the tissue of women with dense breasts. They are better able to detect and diagnose small tumors and rule out abnormalities that may have looked suspicious in the patient’s 2D mammogram. “Clinical data had demonstrated that the addition of digital breast tomosynthesis to a patient’s traditional 2D digital mammogram increases detection of breast tumors, said Crystal Endrulat, radiology director. “We chose the True Breast Tomosynthesis option because it gives us wide-angle image acquisition that helps our physicians see more than traditional 2D mammography alone. Dr. Eric Luebbert, HMH radiologist comments, “Early detection is the key to surviving breast cancer. When we find tumors earlier, we’re better able to create treatment plans that are more effective. We think this technology can help us save lives.”

Dr. Luebbert said that, by reducing the distortion created by tissue overlap or dense breast tissue in 2D mammograms, physicians are better able to target the size, shape and location of a tumor. Clinical data has demonstrated that the addition of Siemens’ digital breast tomosynthesis to a patient’s traditional 2D digital mammogram increases detection of breast tumors. Radiology staff know that in clinical practice, this increased diagnostic accuracy also means fewer anxiety-inducing recalls, which typically contributes to both improved patient outcomes and reduced cost. Horn Memorial installed the 3D technology to its existing Mammomat Inspiration mammography platform from Siemens. Horn’s radiology team completed special training and certification on the True Breast Tomosynthesis technology prior to offering the service publicly.

Late summer is prime time for fish kills Unfortunately the end of summer is the worst time for underwater dwellers. In August and September, temperatures are often high, oxygen levels tend to be low and if stream levels are low, fish and other water critters can be especially vulnerable. Add to that the occasional cloudburst or algal bloom and a fish kill is more likely. “Historically we see more fish kills this time of year,” said Ken Hessenius, supervisor at DNR’s Spencer field office. “We investigated five fish kills in the first three weeks of August. So we want to encourage farmers, pesticide and manure applicators and homeowners to be

extra careful when applying chemicals, fertilizers and manure.” Take these simple precautions to protect our waters: •Follow pesticide labels and manure management plans. Watch application rates and required setbacks from streams. “Some aerially sprayed chemicals are toxic to fish at concentrations of less than one part per billion, which is like adding a pinch of salt to a 10-ton bag of potato chips,” he said. •Divert water from chemical mixing stations and livestock holding areas to prevent runoff from carrying off pollutants. Keep open lots scraped and clean to avoid polluted runoff.

•Check for pollutant trails below mixing stations and livestock facilities. If there is runoff, immediately contain it to keep pollutants out of streams. •Finally, report spills, runoff and fish kills as soon as possible to the 24-hour spill line at 515-725-8694. DNR specialists have seen hundreds of spills; they can help you find the best way to contain a spill and reduce impacts downstream. Check the DNR Environmental Reporting Hotline Guide for situations that must be reported and the reporting deadlines. For more information, contact Ken Hessenius at 712-2624177 or Kenneth.Hessenius@ dnr.iowa.gov.

Forty years ago Holstein Pirates win against Kingsley-Pierson in three overtimes during a football match up Friday night. The three overtime periods, which started when the game ended tied 6-6 at the end of regulation play, was a story of defense and ield goals. Holstein scored the winning touchdown on the irst play of the third overtime period when quarterback Scott Wiese found Jim Clausen in the end zone for a 10-yard strike. Holstein city of icials dedicated a new street between Highway 59 and the Holstein country club on Tuesday. The street will be known as Kofmehl Drive and is named after Chuck Kofmehl, long time Holstein resident and the country clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irst president. Thirty years ago Within the next couple of weeks, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on whether or not to renew revenue sharing for cities and counties. That vote will have an impact on Ida County and its communities. Currently Ida

County receives revenue sharing payments on a quarterly basis. The impact the possible cut will have will depend on where those funds have been spent in the past. An early morning storm sashayed through Ida County on Saturday causing major damage at the Ida County fairgrounds and at Farmland Industries, leaving a trail of power outages in its path. Although there were no actual tornado sightings, the nature of much of the damage in southern Ida County was common of a twister, spotty, with twisted trees and small limbs driven like spears through buildings.

Identifying ticks first step in preventing Lyme disease With warm temperatures and sunny skies painting an inviting picture, people across Iowa will spend time outside this summer and fall enjoying the natural wonders this state offers. While experiencing Iowa’s great outdoors people will come in contact with something less warm and fuzzy – ticks. Ticks are active from March through November, the same months that host the most outdoor activities. Understanding the different types of ticks that are found in the state and how to remove ticks if they become attached to a human or domestic animal is the focus of a new Iowa State University Extension and Outreach publication titled ‘Ticks and Tickborne Diseases in Iowa’ (PM 2036). “Ticks are something we all encounter when we are outdoors,” said Laura Jesse, director and extension entomologist with the Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic at Iowa State University. “Most of us aren’t pleased to find a tick on us or our pets, and having information on the type of tick and how to remove it is important. There are many urban myths around ticks and being able to provide real science to the topic is helpful.” The blacklegged or deer tick, the American dog or wood tick and the lone star tick are the three most common species found in Iowa. While each species of tick has a

range where it is most common, all three species can be found across the state. Ticks have become infamous as carriers of Lyme disease, an illness that can be transmitted from other infected mammals to humans through ticks. Ticks feed on the blood of smaller animals like rodents and birds as they move from their nymph stage into adulthood. When adult ticks latch onto humans they can then transmit the Lyme disease if they are infected. “It is important to be aware of the symptoms of Lyme disease,” Jesse said. “The best way to prevent infection is to locate and remove ticks immediately. Be sure to check yourself and children after returning indoors from areas likely infested with ticks (wooded or brushy areas and areas with long grass). Additionally, talk to a veterinarian about pets because there are many tick treatments that are effective for summer-long tick control for dogs and cats.” The main outward sign of Lyme disease is a bull’s-eye-shaped skin rash at the site of the bite. Other symptoms include arthritis, facial paralysis, neurological and cardiac problems, general malaise and fatigue. The disease has also been reported in dogs, cats, horses, cattle and sheep. Preventing tick bites can be done by wearing long-sleeved shirts

and patient with litigants, lawyers and court personnel, 4.75; treats people equally regardless of race, gender, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status or disability, 4.6; retention percentage, 100 and number of respondents, 90. Attorneys evaluated the 59 district court judges, four court of appeals judges and three supreme court justices based on 12 performance characteristics (10 for members of the court of appeals) specified in the survey. A total of 1,495 attorneys responded to this year’s survey. The ISBA has conducted the performance review every two years since 1962 when Iowa adopted its merit system for selecting judges. The review is designed to give voters information on which to base their decisions about keeping a judge in office. Under Iowa’s judicial merit selection system, judges are appointed by the governor after going through an extensive interview and evaluation process by a judicial nominating commission. Iowa voters then have the opportunity to periodically vote on whether a particular judge or justice should remain on the bench. Iowa court of appeals, district court and district associate court judges must stand for retention the first full year after being appointed to the bench, and every six years thereafter. Supreme court justices must also stand for retention the first full year after being appointed to the bench, and every eight years thereafter. Attorneys who participate in the ISBA’s judicial performance review must have sufficient contact and experience with a judge such that the judge would be able to evaluate the attorney’s performance as well. In the case of court of appeals judges and supreme court justices, the attorney must be familiar with the judge’s or justice’s opinions in order to evaluate him or her. A map to help residents identify their district by county and see the results of the specific judges that will be on their ballots is included with the full results of this year’s judicial performance review on the ISBA website: www.judicialfacts.org.

and long pants and tucking pants into socks; wearing light-colored clothing to see ticks easier; using tick-specific EPA-approved repellant and manually checking for ticks after being outside. If a tick does bite and attach itself, it should be removed by using tweezers to grasp the tick’s mouthparts where they enter the skin. Pull the tick away from the skin and thoroughly clean and disinfect the site of the bite. “People worry about leaving parts of the mouth still attached when removing ticks and so try various ineffective methods to get ticks to ‘back out’ of the skin,” Jesse said. “Things like using Vaseline or alcohol on a tick can irritate the tick and possibly cause it regurgitate into you with the Lyme disease causing organism. Pulling it out quickly and cleanly is the best way to prevent regurgitation. If the mouthparts get left in the skin your body will treat it like any foreign body (for example splinters) and work to get rid of it.” The publication is authored by Jesse; Donald Lewis, professor and extension entomologist at Iowa State University; and Ken Holscher, associate professor of entomology at Iowa State University. H. Joel Hutcheson and James W. Mertins, entomologists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, also contributed to the publication.

National farm safety and health week scheduled In May of this year, a farmer in southeast Iowa was pinned by a piece of machinery and killed; later that month, an eastern Iowa man was killed when his tractor was struck by a semi. In June, a teenage farm girl died in an ATV incident. These are just a few of the tragedies that will become Iowa’s farm fatality statistics. This year, the theme for National Farm Safety and Health Week is “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of” and is held Sept. 18 to 24. Statistics from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) show that the fatality rate for farmers and farm workers is about 20 deaths per 100,000 workers. Compare this to the overall rate of occupational fatalities in the US (3.4 per 100,000 workers) and it becomes clear that we have a problem with our agricultural legacy. Research conducted in New York found that, within five years of a farm fatality, nearly three quarters of the families who operated the farms where the incidents occurred no longer operated them, and nearly half no longer lived on the farms at all. These numbers are startling, and should remind us all that a fatality in a farming family can eliminate the legacy of that farm all together. Tractors, particularly tractor rollovers, remain the leading cause of injury and fatalities on farms, in Iowa and nationwide. Nearly half of all tractors currently in operation do not have a rollover protective structure (ROPS), a requirement for any tractor manufactured after 1985. The use of a ROPS, with a fastened seatbelt, virtually eliminates the risk of a fatality if the tractor rolls over. Retrofitting a tractor requires some investment of time and money, but if it prevents a

fatality, there is little question that it’s worthwhile. Tractors aren’t the only farm hazard, as recent fatalities in grain bins and manure pits in Iowa show. As our grain storage capabilities increase, and livestock production becomes more and more efficient, the hazards to workers can also increase. While fatalities clearly affect a farm’s legacy, so do the less catastrophic injuries and diseases that tend to come with farm work. If there is one primary operator, the profit loss associated with time lost to recover from an injury can be a major setback. And don’t forget the loss of quality, and sometimes length, of life associated with hearing loss, chronic lung disease, or skin

cancer—all prevalent conditions in agricultural workers. The good news is that farm injuries, illnesses, and fatalities are almost always preventable. Engineered solutions on tractors, including ROPS as well as shielding and guarding of moving parts, reduce loss of life and limbs. Having a safety plan, as any business should, can do a lot to identify and reduce hazards, encourage safe work practices, and reduce injuries. Iowa’s farmers are the foundation of our most important economic industry, but the high rates of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities that come with farming put the legacy of agriculture at risk.

Message Homecoming week was here for the Raptors. We played HMS and fortunately the game was played here so we at least knew where to go to see the actual game. Martha and her people have been busy. On Tuesday of last week, our group was in Anthon to sell 132 unimproved acres SE of Anthon and N of Danbury for $6,400 per acre. Last Thursday we had an 87.5 acre farm for auction just south of Alta. For whatever reason, the bidding was slow and the owners elected to keep it for private treaty listing with our firm at $7,500 per acre. It really is a quite good farm in an excellent area. More auctions coming. We ourselves are quite busy but we do wonder how the United States, with 300 million people, could only come up with two rather unusual candidates for president. It will definitely be interesting to learn how this all comes out. Speaking of elections, on a

slightly smaller scale, we had a race for a council seat between Robert Shontz and Mary Gross last week. Both good Holstein candidates. Mary Gross won. It is nice to know that we have Holstein citizens who are willing to expend their time and effort to run for such jobs. Your writer was on some years ago and rapidly found that whatever one does while on the council, half of the citizens love you and the other half - not so much. However, someone has to make the necessary decisions. The crop situation around here appears excellent. We will soon find out how good our corn and beans really are. Most all soybeans have already changed color to yellow or brown. Some farmers are cutting silage and the corn all appears to be dented. As we say, it won’t be long before the 2016 harvest is over. That’s all for this week. More next. Jim McGuire

Ida County eligible for emergency loans Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini has made physical loss loans available to the following eight Iowa Counties: Plymouth and Woodbury (primary): Cherokee, Crawford, Ida, Monona, O’Brien and Sioux (contiguous). Farm operators who suffered physical losses and damage caused by high wind, flooding, hail and excessive rain that occurred from June 17-19, may be eligible for low-interest emergency loans. Emergency loans help producers recover from production and physical losses due to drought, flooding, and other natural disasters or quarantine.

Producers have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for emergency loan assistance. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. Producers can borrow up to 100 percent of actual production or physical losses, to a maximum amount of $500,000. For more information about emergency loans, contact your local FSA office or visit www. fsa.usda.gov. Ida County FSA Office, 5973 State Highway 175, Ida Grove, Iowa 51445, or phone at 712-364-2126.

Take the dog for a walk each day. Everyone knows that daily exercise is beneficial to people of all ages and genders. While you probably take your dog for a walk every once in a while or on weekends, you may have overlooked how beneficial daily exercise can be to your pet’s heath: •Walking the dog is sometimes regarded as a nasty chore, but, remember, you get exercise, too, which is good for both of your hearts. •Regular walks help build confidence and trust, so your pet can be comfortable around other people, animals and environments. •Barking and whining are signs that your pet wants and needs attention from you. Scheduled walks will help keep both of you entertained.

•Knocking over furniture or jumping on people are signs of pent-up energy, and your pet needs a 20-minute walk each day to release excess energy and curb hyperactive behaviors. •Regular walks can help both of your digestive systems and relieve constipation. •An overweight pet is not a healthy pet. Watch your pet’s diet and always provide fresh water to keep your best friend in tip-top shape. •Keep your pet healthy and happy by going for a walk each day. Best of all, it gets both of you out of the house and helps grow the bond you have with Spot, Fido, Hank or Champ. Ready to enjoy this lovely fall weather with your four-legged friend? Grab his or her leash and get moving.

Healthiest State Initiative annual walk open for registration The Healthiest State Initiative’s sixth annual state-wide walk, presented by Delta Dental of Iowa, is now open for registration. Schools, worksites, communities, colleges and universities from all over Iowa can go online at www.iowahealthieststate.com to register and join in on the fun. This year’s state-wide walk lands on Wednesday, Oct. 5, and the Healthiest State Initiative is asking Iowans to #StepItUp to 30 minutes of walking from the 1K walk that was done previously, reflecting the U.S. Surgeon General’s Call to Action. The goal of this year’s walk is to have walks organized and registered in all 99 counties of Iowa. “Six years ago, we launched the annual walk with the theme “Start Somewhere,” encouraging Iowans to walk a 1K,” said Jami Haberl, Ex-

ecutive Director of the Healthiest State Initiative. “This year, we are asking Iowans to “Step It Up” and take the 1K to 30 minutes. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can improve one’s overall physical, social and emotional well-being.” Those who sign up on behalf of their school, business or community can access walk resources, such as toolkits for spreading the word throughout their organization. To activate social media engagement, the Healthiest State has created “Why I Walk” pledge forms and various social media contests where a school and a community are able to win a $1,000 prize and individuals will be entered in a drawing to win gift cards. For more walk information or to register a walk, visit www.iowahealthieststate.com.

Raptors improve to 4-1 in WVC volleyball Ridge View defeated River Valley and O-A/BC-IG in conference volleyball play Sept. 13 in Correctionville. The victories improved the Raptors’ conference mark to 4-1 and to 9-5 overall. Raptor coach Monica Bloyer noted it was “good to have a few strong wins after a tough weekend tournament at Rockwell City.” Ridge View 3, O-A/BC-IG 0 The Raptors blanked the Falcons on scores of 25-18, 25-9, 25-9. “O-A/BC-IG has really improved its defense with some young players,” said Bloyer. “Both teams (O-A/ BC-IG and River Valley) seem to be in a rebuilding year and we were able to use our playing experience as an advantage over them.”

Ridge View recorded 19 ace serves and a 97 percent serve success rate in the match. Harlee Wagoner had seven ace serves and Maddie Mitchell chalked up six aces. Ridge View stats Hitting—.238 kill efficiency, 33 kills, (Harlee Wagoner, 8 kills; Paige Todd, 8 kills). Assists—31 (Maddie Grieme, 17; Madeline Else, 8).

The Raptors lost to East Sac, 21-12, 21-18 and to Carroll Kuemper, 21-9, 2114.

Ridge View prevails in homecoming contest Ridge View scored 28 first half points and blanked Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn 28-0 Friday in the Raptors’ homecoming contest. The victory also went into the district football win column. “We got off to a fast start,” noted Raptor coach Jeff DeHaan. “Our offensive and defensive lines played well. The offensive line gave Tyler Wingert (quarterback) plenty of time to throw the ball and our receivers are coming into their own by making plays after the catch.” Wingert threw for 209 yards on 16 of 36 pass attempts. He threw three touchdowns and had one pass intercepted. Juan Nava caught five passes for 85 yards. Big plays and turnovers were a key factor in the Raptors’ favor. Ridge View scored six points when it recovered the ball in H-M-S’s end zone following a blocked punt and the Raptors got touchdown pass plays of 25 and 60 yards. The 25-yard touchdown pass got the Raptors on the board first. The pass from Wingert to Ryan McGuire came at the 4:50 mark of the first quarter. McGuire kicked the PAT. With 2:56 seconds left in the first quarter Wingert connected with Colton Wunschel for a four-yard scoring aerial. The PAT kick was blocked. The scoring drive covered 56 yards following Jaxon Franken’s recovery of an H-M-S fumble at the Raptor 44. Early in the second quarter H-M-S had a high snap on a punt attempt. Ridge View’s Jake Kliegl recovered the ball at the H-M-S seven-yard line.

The Raptors were unable to take advantage of the short field as H-M-S intercepted a Raptor pass in the end zone on Ridge View’s first play from scrimmage following the fumble recovery. With 5:01 on the second quarter clock, Wingert found Nava on a 60yard touchdown pass. McGuire’s PAT kick made the score 20-0 in favor of Ridge View. H-M-S was unable to handle the ensuing kickoff, which allowed Ridge View’s Jake Mitchell to recover the ball at the H-M-S 28-yard line. The Raptors didn’t have much success in moving the ball and had to turn the ball over to H-M-S on downs at the H-M-S 22-yard line. The Raptors’ final score of the game came when Jake Kliegl blocked a H-M-S punt from inside the H-M-S 10-yard line. Mitchell recovered the ball in the end zone for six points. Gus Leonard ran for the two-point conversion after catching a short pass from Wingert to lift the Raptors to a 28-0 lead with two minutes to play before halftime. In the final minute of the third quarter, Ridge View marched the ball to the H-M-S 11-yard line, but lost the ball on downs. Ridge View recorded its first shutout of the season to lower its points per game allowed to eight. “Defensively, anytime you can blank a team you are doing a good job. We knew H-M-S likes to run the ball and our defense did a nice job of containing them,” said DeHaan. H-M-S ran for 110 yards on 39 car-

ries, which is 2.8 yards per carry. Ridge View improved to 3-1 overall and to 2-0 in district play. H-M-S is winless on the season. This Friday the Raptors travel to Fort Dodge to play St. Edmond’s (1-3/0-2). DeHaan noted St. Edmond’s is off to a slow start. “I thought they might have a better record by now, but I don’t about any injuries they may have had. I do know they like to run the ball similar to the teams we’ve played the last couple of weeks.
