Supervisor races highlight election ballot General election polls will be open next Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Republican Creston Schubert of Galva is seeking election to the District 1 supervisor seat. Seeking the District II seat are incumbent Bob Paulsrud of Danbury and Raymond Drey of Ida Grove. Drey is the Republican candidate while Paulsrud is running as an independent. District I Creston Schubert Creston Schubert, 65, of Galva said, “I am running for county supervisor in District I. I am running for this office because I have the knowledge and experience to handle the many issues that will arise in the future for District I. I have worked on multi-million dollar budgets and have served on employee payroll contract negotiation committees. I have knowledge of rural health care issues and of the problems of special needs adults and children. “With the growth of wind energy in the county and the completion of Highway 20, I feel the future of District I is bright, with additional business and jobs likely. However, all this growth will bring with it problems that need to be faced, I feel I have the experience to make appropriate decisions when these problems arise. “District I already has one of the best schools in the nation and with your vote I hope to be a part of making our area not only one of the best places to live in Iowa, but in the nation. I will do my best to answer all questions and concerns and would honored to be your supervisor.” Schubert’s qualifications for this office include: he is a graduate from UNI with a degree in business management, he is a lifelong Republican having served on the county central committee, he farms and own lands in District I where he lives and was raised. He has been married for 38 years with four children and 11 grandchildren. “I served 15 years on the Gal-

va-Holstein School Board, three years as president when the two new schools were built. I served three terms on the Horn Memorial Hospital Board when two new doctors were recruited and the Horn Clinic was expanded. I am serving my ninth year on the NWAEA Board where I have dealt with school reorganization issues and I am serving my eighth year on the Galva City Council. I have also served on various other boards: ISI, fair, Farm Bureau, HCC and the G-H Foundation,” said Schubert. District II Bob Paulsrud District II incumbent supervisor Bob Paulsrud, 62, of Danbury is running as an independent candidate. “Being an Ida County supervisor has been a great learning experience. I am seeking re-election to continue building on the strengths of Ida County. Understanding the many facets of county government is very important and I believe my experience will best serve Ida County taxpayers. The board of supervisors has taken a conservative position and created a tax-friendly environment for business opportunities and agriculture, which is being noticed by entrepreneurs. “During the past 10 years, we have seen significant investment in ethanol production, wind energy, livestock and most importantly, we are very blessed to have excellent manufacturing companies that have been a mainstay to our economy. I want to be sure the current projects get completed and building on what we have established. “I believe my 20 years of experience is a valuable asset to being a supervisor.” Paulsrud said, “During the last 24 months wind energy has created a great deal of discussion both pro and con. As a supervisor I have been a strong supporter of agriculture and manufacturing and when the opportunity for wind energy developed I felt it was another dimension for economic growth in

our county. “In an agriculture community livestock has been very important and I see wind energy as another value-added resource for our landowners. Why shouldn’t they be given the opportunity to expand their income if given the chance? Wind towers will give our local landowners more than an additional $1 million per year of income. That is pretty significant. These 134 wind towers will add $17 million over the next 10 years to our tax base. “It will give us the relief we need to fix our secondary road issues and not just patch. The board of supervisors will be able to maintain our county highways, gravel roads and bridges without increasing your taxes. M31 north and south of Arthur will be one of our first projects. The initial surveying has been completed and hopefully, if plans develop, 2019 is our target date. “The dollars this project has generated to our local economy has been excellent. Supply businesses, fuel, food, motels and other businesses have greatly benefited. It has been exciting to be a part of this development and I want to be a supervisor in District 2 to continue these projects. “Secondary roads are always a topic for discussion and the influx of tax dollars will play a major role in improvements and maintenance. In the last several years we lost more than 150 years of experience in secondary roads. This was very critical as these people provided a valuable service to our county and it did create some growing pains. It takes time to develop the skills we lost and while that doesn’t happen overnight, experience is a good teacher. “On Aug. 1, we hired a new engineer and I have been very encouraged with the way Jeff is learning about our projects and implementing his management style. I encourage you to stop by the office or give him a call if you have projects you want to speak (continued on page 2)

Freedom Rock: Ames Construction moved in the Ida County Freedom Rock Oct. 18. It is located by Char-Mac in Holstein. It will be painted in early 2017. If anyone would like to make a donation, the Holstein American Legion would appreciate it. The Freedom Rock is a way to thank the nation’s veterans and to honor their service to the U.S.A. The artist, Ray Sorensen II, was inspired by the movie, “Saving Private Ryan,” as well as wanting to give veterans a unique recognition. The project started in 2013 and will continue for the next few summers. To date, Sorensen has painted rocks in 55 Iowa counties. Sorensen and his family will travel the state until a Freedom Rock is placed in each county. (Photo submitted)

Highway 20 Association hears construction update The U.S. Highway 20 Corridor Association met Oct. 14 at Iowa State Bank in Sac City. President Shirley Phillips called the meeting to order and gave the welcome. The minutes of the July 8 meeting were approved. Treasurer Sharon Irwin presented the treasurer’s report. The balance on hand as of Oct. 14 is $15,987. The report was accepted and filed for audit. Irwin reported we have the same number of memberships as this time last year. Ann Trimble-Ray reported that we had a delegation make presentations to the Department of Transportation (DOT) commissioner at Sioux City in August. Correctionville Mayor Nathan Heilman and Ida County Economic Development representative Rita Frahm reported on developments in their areas with the coming of Highway 20 as a four-lane. Several people from the Sioux City area also presented at that meeting. Bob Singer said he plans to attend the November commission meeting. DOT District 3 Planner Dakin Schultz updated us on current work being done on Highway 20. Section 1: East of Moville to

Minnesota Avenue: the westbound lane paving is complete; they are working on the shoulders and then signing/marking needs to be done. On Tuesday, Oct. 18, bids will be received for the grading and paving of the eastbound lanes. This will be the last major bid for the completion of Highway 20. Section 2: Minnesota Avenue to Correctionville: Grading is done, and the contractor hopes to pave the westbound lanes yet this month. They hope to get off the detour before winter. The contractor will work on the eastbound bridge over the winter. Section 4. The contractor hopes to have the grading done yet this year on the eastbound lanes. Section 5. There will be a detour at the east junction of Highway 20 and 59 next year. County road M25 was paved at Highway 20 in order to be open for the detour of Section Six from Early to M25. Both bridges are almost complete west of M25. Section 6. Work is being done on the detour around Schaller for this section. This detour work was a little behind schedule, but contractors told DOT it would be ready for the detour, which began

Oct. 17. Section 6. Adams Avenue to Early was let Sept. 20. The detour started on Monday, Oct. 17. The contractor is going to leave the current Highway 20 for local traffic during the winter and work around it. Work is already beginning on this section. C.J. Moyna and Sons have the contract for this section. The contractor will work on grading as long as the weather allows. They will start on the Boyer River bridges yet this fall and through the winter as much as possible. The DOT Commission traveled through the project in August and was surprised at the amount of work that has already been completed. Status updates can be found at www.iowadot.gov/US20, and you can sign up for emails and text messages. Lawton and Moville have been discussed by the District 3 office, but no action is being taken at this time. A question was raised about Highway 71 north of Early. Dakin reported that is on the DOT radar, but nothing would be done while (continued on page 2)

. . . supervisor races (continued from front page) about or concerns that need to be addressed. Our gravel roads in the wind farm area will have more than 30,000 tons of new limestone rock that are of no cost to the county.” Paulsrud continued, “The development of Highway 20 to fourlanes has been realized and the board of supervisors along with the engineer have been very involved in this process. There are some inconveniences with road detours, etc. but when finished it will add value to Ida County. I have been very supportive of the Holstein Travel Center, new motel and business development south of Holstein. “The board of supervisors is part of a Rural Economic Development Grant, which has been submitted. We committed $100,000 in a revolving fund to develop a spec building in the commercial subdivision of Holstein. Our plan is to have this replicated in other Ida County communities. I will continue to work with local city governments where county dollars can be used. “There is discussion about a west access in Ida Grove, where they city has purchased land. The board of supervisors has already committed to building the road needed to connect with city development. Galva has also benefited from the Quad County ethanol plant in housing development and a population increase. Quad County processes 12.5 million bushels of corn per year and created 40 jobs. “The Flint Hills ethanol plant in Arthur processes more than 40 million bushels of corn and created 60 jobs. These two businesses provide a real advantage to our corn producers and the board of supervisors has provided support in establishing these opportunities. “During my time as an Ida County supervisor I have worked to develop a strong public health system working with Horn Memorial Hospital and their administration. Recently we have partnered with them to handle our death investigations, which will be a cost savings. “Public safety remains very important and Ida County has a strong working relationship with the cities in an efficient countywide law program. Our department and facilities are very updated and efficient. “In 2009, a one-cent local option sales tax was voted on and passed. The board of supervisors committed to using our share toward county tax relief, which meant reducing our tax-asking for rural basic by $290,290. I will continue to spend your tax dollars wisely and efficiently. With all of the development and new businesses the city governments are also going to be

able to benefit from this decision. “I feel Ida County is in a very good economic position and I look forward to building toward the future. It has been a blessing to raise my family here. Recently my daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren moved to Ida County after living in Kansas City for 15 years. They wanted to be a part of this smaller rural community, school system and the benefits Ida County has to offer. I believe this is the environment we are creating and building in Ida County. “I have worked very hard to keep services to the public in Ida County. One example of that would be moving the driver’s license to the treasurer’s office in 2002 when the DOT no longer administered that service. We updated our jail facilities so we could meet Iowa Code and not have to transfer prisoners to another county. Working to keep Ida Sheltered Industries, as a viable service for our clients and meeting mental health challenges has been very important. Working with our veterans’ director we have gotten $269,200 to more than 670 Ida County vets to assist with their needs. These are only a few examples of how I have worked for Ida County residents and will continue to do so. “I have been a lifelong resident of Ida County, married to Teresa for 41 years, raised four children and been so fortunate to be a part of this community. I am committed to making Ida County a great place to live, work and enjoy.” Paulsrud graduated from Maple Valley in 1972 and from Iowa State University in 1976 with an Ag business degree, minor in economics. He has worked in the agriculture field, Iowa State University State Extension, Paulsrud Auction Company, raises purebred Angus cattle and is a field representative for Dunlap Livestock Auction. Paulsrud serves on the Iowa Angus Board, Ida County 4-H Foundation, Ida County Fair superintendent, Ida County Board of Health, Ida Sheltered Industries Board, Mid-Sioux Opportunity, public safety and is a member of the Arthur Evangelical Free Church. “Ida County is the greatest place on earth to live and raise a family,” exclaimed Paulsrud. Raymond Drey Raymond Drey, 76, of rural Ida Grove is the Republican candidate for the District II supervisor seat. “My wife Susan and I celebrated our 55th year anniversary in June 2016. We have four children, 15 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren plus four step-great-grandchildren. I have been a farmer most of my life. I retired three years ago and our son Mark took over the farm operation. In the spring I drive a fertilizer truck for Roger Frank at CPS and in the fall I help Mark with the harvest.

“I’m seeking election to the seat to bring a knowledgeable, common sense approach to governing. We need to seek ways to invest new business and industry to Ida County and to work with city governments to make Ida County a place that people would be happy to move into and call home. “Also, to see that the people we hire are qualified and knowledgeable to do their job and work together as a team. We need a mission statement to keep all employees, as well as the supervisors, working for the common good of the people that elect us. “All employees should be trained to do the job assigned to them, they should also know what is included in their job description. Detailed job descriptions of the job they are to undertake and be trained to those jobs effectively. “I also would make sure we work within our budget. Priorities that need attention first such as our need for fixing our roads, bridges and culverts, so that people feel safe when driving on them. “We need to meet with all employees as often as is needed to keep informed of what is happening in each department. “I have always been able to work jointly and cordially with others in all aspects of getting along.” Drey lists his qualifications as follows: past officer or member of Ida Grove School Board (15 years), Ida Grove Ambulance and first responder (six years), Ida County Fair Board (three years), closing in on 50 years as a Farm Bureau member, first compensation board member and many years as board member negotiator team. “Presently I am one of two board members serving Ida County on the NWREC Board of Directors. I have been a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church since moving to Ida County. I have served on the church council, church cluster committee and am presently a cantor, lector lay minister, sacristan, member of K.C.’s, in fact was Grand Knight at Danbury before helping to start our local chapter in Ida Grove. I was charter grand knight for our local chapter. I am also a member of Garrigan Assembly Fourth Degree Council, member of honor guard, taught 21 years of CCD to mostly ninth graders before retiring in 1991. Started teaching ninth grade PREP classes three years ago and hope to continue into the future.” Drey closed saying, “I again thank all who voted for me in the primary election and hope for your continued support in the general election Nov. 8. I invite all Democrats, independents, those not affiliated with any party to support me in the upcoming election as an official of District II and with your input, which I will always be open to, we can change and improve Ida County.”

RV marketing class presents Google Business The Ridge View High School marketing class recently gave a presentation on Google Business and the data that they have collected on Holstein businesses. Following is the data: Why should your business be verified? •You can connect with your customers when they Google your business. •You can manage your business information from anywhere. Hours, location, pictures, address, phone number, website and even reviews. •Google controls 67.6 percent of the U.S. search engine market. •Four in five consumers use a

search engine to search for local businesses. Research shows that businesses with complete listings are twice as likely to be considered reputable by customers. •Updated business listings can help generate economic value up to $300k a year for a small city. The marketing class’ research: •The class searched 44 businesses in Holstein from a list on the Holstein Chamber of Commerce website—address, phone number, hours, photo, map, website, reviews. •Eight businesses are verified with Google. *Thirty-six businesses are not verified. The class was able to find

parts of the information; however, the information was not verified and incomplete. Next steps: Marketing students were willing to visit businesses who would like some help verifying their business Oct. 21 and 26. Businesses needed to gather photos, website, business contact information, email, etc., to be able to post a complete business listing. Businesses verified were Boulders Inn and Suites, Heritage Bank, KCHE 92.1 and 1440 AM, State Farm Insurance-Adam Henderson (only Ida Grove office), Stevenson Studios, Vollmar Motors and Christina Kjar Photography.

Hunt stated that she would accept donations for the Santa Store but does not want to be financially compensated for her responsibili-

ties as secretary/treasurer. Leonard presented some possible ideas for a Christmas promotion and tree lighting ceremony for Dec. 3. It was noted that the Kiwanis would host its Toys for Tots soup and sandwich luncheon that day. The Chamber will host a free movie with two showings that day.

The scavenger hunt sheets could be turned in at LSMCC during the tree lighting, and refreshments would be served in the community room afterwards. Watch for further details and times.

Letters to the Editor

Looking Back

To the editor: Need a nanny in Boston? Need a nurse in Dallas? Need a lineman in Seattle? Americans love to employ Iowa farm kids. Businesses love hard-working, dedicated people with those core farm values like honesty, determination and loyalty. And, Ida County is at the pinnacle of Iowa farm â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;products.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I am supporting Robert C. Paulsrud for District 2, Ida County supervisor. Bob represents the best Ida County has produced. Born and raised here his entire life, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm values are at the very center of his every thought, decision and action. When I think about how I would approach a problem and work through it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident that Bob would use those same methods and apply those same values to arrive at the best decision. Bob is hard-working: he owns and manages two successful businesses. A frantic schedule would be the norm; and, then, consider his volunteer work in church, 4-H and public service boards, plus the commitment to his supervisor position the last 20 years. There is no question Bob is dedicated to the betterment of Ida County. And dedication. You can begin with Teresa, his wife of 41 years, father of four, grandfather of seven. We all know and love the commitment and dedication it takes to raise a family. Those family values, those Christian values can be seen replicated over and over, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reassuring. Honesty, determination and loyalty: just look at the decisions Bob has helped produce in his tenure as supervisor. Bob has been determined to move Ida County ahead with sound economic decisions, like the ethanol industry and the revolving loan fund for businesses, all creating Ida County jobs and strengthening Ida Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax base. There is no question that Bob is loyal to us and determined to keep us moving forward. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supporting Robert C. Paulsrud for District 2, Ida County supervisor. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of man that America values, Iowa values and Ida County values. I encourage you to consider all the things Bob brings to the table when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make a decision for Ida County. Cary K. Conover Holstein To the editor: The rural residents of Ida County should have gotten to vote to let MidAmerican Energy build their electricity factory in Ida County. Instead, our elected officials decided and allowed them to build just so they could get the money and make their jobs easier. Your economic development came at a huge cost, Bob. Eastern and southern Ida County has lost all of its scenic and natural beauty forever. Our property values have dropped and our beautiful views are gone forever. Maybe, for more economic development, you could bring in a nuclear waste dump to Ida County, Bob. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you could get some willing landowners, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask their neighbor what their concerns were just like they did with the wind towers. Maybe you could legalize prostitution in Ida County, Bob; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already living in a red light district. This spring, our mailman had on the back of his dirty 4x4 Jeep, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dirt Roads Suck.â&#x20AC;? Maybe, while you are putting up campaign signs, you could see some of the roads you are in charge of maintaining. We came up with an idea at the feed store the other day. You ought to give out mouth guards as campaign tokens for driving on our rough and washboard roads and, when we smile, it would say (Vote for Bob). Vote for Ray Drey. Mason Fleenor Ida Grove

Forty years ago John Bruns had the first shovelful honor at the groundbreaking ceremony for the library addition in Galva on Saturday. Bruns, whose family donated the land for the current building and the addition, had no trouble digging into the heavily misted ground. The mayor, city council and library board were there, and board member Mary Sorensen gave a short presentation on the history of the current building and the planning of the addition. A bond issue to build a new courthouse will probably overshadow all other local contests in Ida County at the Nov. 2 general election. If voters approve the bond issue, county officials would be authorized to spend $1,485,000 for a new courthouse. The county has $700,000 of the total project price on hand.

He met his future wife, Colleen Sullivan, and they married July 8, 1988. Jeffrey Bottjen walked a little taller that day. His greatest pride and joy were his three children,

Jake, Courtney and Cassidy. For 28 years, he worked tirelessly to bring home the bacon, and his co-workers became his second family. His loves in life were sitting on a porch with friends, quoting movies, adding stamps to his passport, tailgating and cheering on the Iowa State Cyclones. Left to cherish every memory he gave us are his wife, Colleen Bottjen of Ida Grove, and his children, Jake Bottjen of Urbandale, Courtney Bottjen of Des Moines and Cassidy Bottjen of Ames.

Fall tillage practices, even reduced tillage techniques such as disking and chisel plowing, can eliminate important winter food and cover for many wildlife species in Iowa. According to Todd Bogenschutz, wildlife research biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, waste grains and crop residue remaining in untilled crop fields following harvest provide important food and cover for species such as pheasants, quail, partridge, turkey and deer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Studies of harvested untilled crop fields show wildlife consume 55 to 85 percent of the waste corn and soybeans between fall harvest and the following spring. The corn stubble and stalks remaining in untilled cornfields also provide concealment cover for pheasants, quail, and partridge, so the birds are not so exposed to predators when feeding in the winter,â&#x20AC;? Bogenschutz said. Research shows even reduced tillage methods, such as disking and chisel plowing, reduce waste grains available to wildlife by 80 percent and reduce crop stubble by 50 percent or

more. Farmers and landowners can leave a free food plot for wildlife by simply not fall plowing their fields, said Bogenschutz, no till farming is a great way to leave food and cover for wildlife. Leaving stubble is also a great way to capture soil moisture for next year.

Sac County Manufacturing Day On Oct. 18, the Sac County Supervisors signed a proclamation declaring Oct. 26, Manufacturing Day in Sac County. Manufacturing Day is an annual event where manufacturers open their doors to showcase the potential of modern manufacturing and foster interest in manufacturing careers. The mission is to empower manufacturers to improve the public perception of manufacturing careers and the sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value to the economic health of the U.S. by connecting them to business improvement, community resources, and next-generation workers. There are often many misperceptions about manufacturing environments. Manufacturing Day addresses misperceptions by allowing the manufacturers to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what 21st century manufacturing is all about. Sac Economic and Tourism Development invited the school districts that either have a school or a community in Sac County to tour local manufacturers. On Oct. 26, 196 students and teachers from East Sac County Middle and High School, Ridge View Middle School and O-A/BC-IG High School will tour the following manufacturers in Sac County: Lundell Plastics Corporation in Odebolt, VT Industries in Sac City, Western Iowa Energy, Inc. in Wall Lake, and Evapco Inc. in Lake View. A representative from Iowa State Extension and Outreach, DMACC and Iowa WORKS will also be touring these manufacturers that day. In support of Manufacturing Day the following businesses have

sponsored a free boxed lunch from Subway in Sac City for students and teachers: Western Iowa Energy, Evapco, Lundell Plastics, Westside State Bank (Wall Lake), Farmers State Bank (Lake View), United Bank of Iowa (Sac City, Odebolt, Arthur, Ida Grove, Holstein and Galva) and Iowa State Bank (Sac City, Lake View and Odebolt). By working together during and after Manufacturing Day, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing and ensure the on-

going prosperity of the whole industry. (http://www.mfgday.com/ about-us). Those who are familiar with manufacturing are two times as likely to pursue a career in manufacturing as those who are not familiar, and those that are familiar are two times as likely to encourage a student or a child to pursue a career in manufacturing. If we can make more individuals aware of what careers you can pursue in manufacturing we have an opportunity to open the pipeline to a lot of new, young, innovative and bright young minds.

Message It is Friday in Holstein and our day to write our weekly column. The combines are running, but, it seems a lot of their work is still on beans with a move underway to corn. Yields are fantastic. The prices paid are a bit better, like around $3 for corn and around $9 for beans. Neither is a glamorous profitable figure. Good old Holstein is doing great on both ends of town. The Clausen boys (VT) are expanding with a new building to the north of the existing headquarters building. Their advertising indicates they will, after this completion, produce many, many more architectural doors. On the south side of Holstein, the new “Travel Center” is open. My source tells me they have or will have employees in the gracious number of 40 to 50 people. And, as of this week, Dollar Gener-

al is building the footings for their new building. We say again that we need more housing. Martha and this writer have a limited number of homes for sale - all priced way under the cost of new, but, we do not have housing in Holstein adequate to match our employment. It can be done, but will be quite an undertaking. On the local sports scene, our volleyball team appears to have done better than football. The Raptors have to win tonight, or we are done for the year. We will report next week. And, yesterday, Thursday the 20th we had a very large number of cross country runners in Holstein for the qualifying 1A meets. That took a lot of time and help from our coaches, administration, and community volunteers. It did seem to go well so they must have done a good job

of organizing. Your writer’s team, The Fighting Irish - have evidently given up the fight for 2016. THey are not doing so well. The political scene is heating up. Patty Judge debated Grassley the other night. This analyst has no particular opinions on this. Well, Grassley will be about 100 by the time he finishes his term in the U.S. Senate. Patty Judge is not a spring chicken either. The main thing is they get paid for doing nothing. We, of course, would like to see Weaver take over Steve King’s job, but in this district, this most likely will not happen. The thing is, one can do nothing, never introduce a bill that was ever debated in 14 years, and you still get $174,000 per year and benefits. It beats driving a bulldozer. That’s all for this week, more next. Jim McGuire

South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien dashes Raptorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playoff bid South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien defeated Ridge View 42-8 in district football play Friday in Holstein. The loss in the final regular season game kept Ridge View from advancing to the state playoffs. With the victory, South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien moves onto the playoffs, which get underway this Friday. There was alot riding on the outcome of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game as the winner would place second in the district standings and qualify for the playoffs. Ridge View coach Jeff DeHaan said South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical style of play made the difference in the contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were more physical up front than we were and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making tackles when we needed to,â&#x20AC;? said DeHaan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in the right place most of the game; we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the plays. It was just one of those games; too bad it had to be in this game.â&#x20AC;? South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien had 100 more total yards on offense than Ridge View (288-188), but the main factor on offense was South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to

control the ball. They ran 62 offensive plays compared to 38 for Ridge View. Ridge View ran the ball for 61 yards and threw for 126 yards. South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien gained 275 yards on the ground and 13 through the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give credit to South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien; we had to stop their run game and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that,â&#x20AC;? said DeHaan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also needed to stop them on first and second downs and that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. The first time we got a three and out came with about six minutes to play in the second quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get off the field (defensively) and you turn the ball over four times, that is a receipe for disaster.â&#x20AC;? South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on touchdown runs of one and eight yards. The first score came on a five-play, 27-yard drive after South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien intercepted a Raptor pass on Ridge Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first possession of the game. The second score came after a 64-yard drive. The advantage increased to 27-0 at halftime on touchdown runs of nine and two yards. The two yard score was set up when South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien intercepted a Raptor pass at Ridge Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 27-yard line and returned it to the two. South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien took the second half kickoff and drove 70 yards for six points. The touchdown came on a two yard run. The run for two points made the score 35-0 with 7:54 to play in the third period. Ridge View got on the board with 10:15 to play in the game when quarterback Tyler Wingert threw a 31-yard scoring strike to Jake Mitchell. Wingert ran for the two-point conversion.

South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final score came on a 12-yard run with 6:17 to play in the game. Ridge View put together a scoring threat late in the game, but South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien put an end to the effort by intercepting a Raptor pass in the end zone with 1:40 to go. Ridge View ended the season with a 5-4 record overall and 4-3 in the district. DeHaan said his club came a long way this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For as many kids as we had to start the year who had never played varsity football, we did well,â&#x20AC;? said DeHaan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach our goal of making the playoffs, but we had a good year. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank our seniors for their hard work; it is really appreciated.â&#x20AC;?
