i , i ii i i i [ i Thursday, September 13, 2012 By: Toni Wilson Tractor ride The 11th Greater S.E. Tractor Ride started arriving in Nichols on Thursday morning, Septem: ber 6, at 8:30 a.m. This year's ride consisted of about 80 tractors. Dwight VanderLeest, a member of the Red Rock Threshers, ex- plained that the riders come from all over, but mostly Southeastern Iowa, and on some rides they have as many as 150 tractors. They have two ride a year, one in the spring and one in the fall. The organizers are Lee Clark and Fred Neely from the Oscaloosa area, Thursday they started in Muscatine, trav- eled to Buffalo, Durant, Atalissa, and then South to Nichols. From Nichols they would go to Colum- bus Jct. Mr. VaderLeest said they usually covered between 60 and 70 miles a day Craig Quigley, who moved to Iowa from Los Angles in 1993, says he still enjoys the beautiful, clear-blue, skies here. He said they were usually gray in Los Angles. He drives what they call 'the Shag Wagon', the most boring job of the ride. He follows the group driving a pickup in case of mechanical troubles, and picks up all the ar- rows marking the route. The Ladies from the United Methodist Church provided food and drinks for the riders at the Alberta Kelly City Park. '"'The, ,,,,,,,,Lone,, Tree Reporter Nichols News Church picnic The Nichols Christian Church had a beautiful Sunday for their Church picnic. All friends and neighbors were invited. Although Nichols is a small town, you don't always stop and visit with your neighbors, or fellow church mem- bers. It was an opportunity to have a very good meal and visit with friends. Pastor Windy Welsch explained that everyone had been working for over a year to construct a spe- cial place to for Sunday school. It is now completed and is ready for ages 3-adult. The first Sunday school classes for the 2012-2013 year start on September 16th. Worship begins at 9:30 a.m., Sun- day school at 10:30 a.m. You are welcome to join them at either time, or for both, and please invite others. Pictured above, The 1 l th Greater S.E.

However, the Lions defense came through and stopped WACO at the 31 on 4th down. With 3:00 left in the game the Lions tried to run out the clock. They got one in'st down, but WACO used all its time outs and in the sec- ond series the Lions were forced to punt, giving the ball to WACO at its 24 with 0:58 left. The Warriors got a 20 yard gain with a first down pass. On the next play the pass was deflected and intercepted by Riley Stumpf for Lone Tree's third take- away for the night. Lone Tree ran one kneel-down play and that was the game. Those turnovers were a real key Bryan Forbes and Andy Dodson had the two fumble recov- eries at crucial times and the inter- ception killed any last gasp hope that WACO had. Unofficially, I had Lone Tree for 13 first downs, 218 net yards on 51 rushes, Six of 13 in passing for 109 Iowa Panthers come to town. They had a great showing in Madison on opening weekend and then got a big win last Saturday. This might be the year the Panthers are able to do what they almost did three years ago. If they do, it will be their first win in the series since the opening game on November 5, 1898. I suppose it was played in Cedar Falls because it is the only game in the series that is listed as away The Panthers won that yards with the one interception, three fumbles, none lost, and six penalties for 45 yards. Individually, Sieverding led the rushers with 89 yards in 10 rushes. Saterfield con- tributed 42 and Lorack 32. WACO had 12 first downs, 228 net yards rushing, completed two of four passes for 15 yards with one inter- ception, fumbled four times and lost two, and was penalized three times for 15 yards.

I never did see a final score in the Illinois-Arizona game, but when I quit watching and went to bed the Illini were al- ready behind, 14-0. If Illinois lost that means the Big Ten went 6-6 because I know Wisconsin, Pur- due, Penn State, Nebraska and Iowa lost. Hopefully this week will be better, at least in Iowa CiW.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Lone Tree was looking at third and nine on its six yard line. With some good blocking on the left side Sieverding came through with a big time run for 12 yards to give the Lions a first down on the 18. On the next play he got loose for 42 yards and the Lions were in business in WACO territory All together it took 15 plays to score. Levi Sater- field scored flom the one on fourth down. Glllham added the extra point and it was 21-6 with 4:33 left. Things turned sour for Lone Tree fans in a hurry Dylan Carlson took the kickoff and broke through the traffic into the clear and went 85 yards for a touchdown. Ben Sear then ran for the two point conver- sion and the score stood 21-14 with 4:20 left. Things got more tense in a hurry, WACO recovered the onside II Splinters from the Bench Continued ... from page 1 In all fairness to Vandenberg, according to game reports that I read in the papers on Sunday, Iowa had eight dropped passes. Now, a dropped pass is a lot different than a pass being broken up by a defen- sive player. Sometimes there were defensive players right there, but the pass was also thrown right into the hands of the receiver who, for whatever reason, couldn't hang on. One of the times that happened was on that first and goal from the three. I think it was on third down and Vandenberg hit the receiver right in the hands and he dropped it. There was a defender behind him, but it didn't look like he had a hand anywhere near the ball. McNutt had a defender draped on his back when he caught the game- winning pass at Michigan State in 2009, but he didn't drop the ball. Actually, maybe we should blame the loss on James Morris. He intercepted the pass in the end zone, but only got it run out to midfield and then got tackled. He should have run the whole 100 yards instead of turning it over to the offense. Now, this week the Northern Page 3 Fountain family reunion The 61st Fountain Family Re- union was held Saturday, Sep- tember 8 with 32 registering for attendance.
