LE MARS, Iowa (AP) — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz went pheasant-hunting on a western Iowa trip that fueled speculation that he might run for president in 2016. The Des Moines Register reports that the Texas senator hunted on Saturday with Republican U.S. Rep. Steve King. The two then headed to the Le Mars Convention Center, where Cruz spoke to a sold-out fundraising luncheon for the Iowa congressman.
Cruz, a Harvard-educated lawyer, received cheers and a standing ovation after his remarks to about 275 people. Cruz compared the mood of the country to the malaise experienced by Americans during the administration of Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, in the 1970s.
Cruz pledged to fight for traditional GOP principles of lower taxes, less spending and less government regulation.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Drake capitalized on three miscues to score 16 points late in the fourth quarter and continue its dominance over Valparaiso with a 23-10 win in a Pioneer League game on Saturday. A shanked punt from the end zone gave Drake (4-4, 3-2) the ball on the 19 to set up the go-ahead touchdown — a 3-yard run by Conley Wilkins — and a fumble recovery led to the clinching field goal. Another lost fumble at the 21 led to a 4-yard TD run for Wilkins, keeping Valparaiso winless in 10 trips to Des Moines.
The Bulldog defense kept the Crusaders (1-7, 1-4) bottled up except for a 73-yard touchdown pass from Eric Hoffman to Tony Taibi for a 10-7 lead early in the second half. Valparaiso was limited to 183 yards of total offense, just four on the ground.
Drakes’s Andy Rice threw for 297 yards, 104 to Eric Saubert.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — C.J. Fiedorowicz caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Jake Rudock in overtime to give Iowa a 17-10 win over Northwestern Saturday. The Hawkeyes (5-3, 2-2 Big 10) nearly blew another lead in the second half. Northwestern (4-4, 0-4) dropped its fourth straight game. Rudock completed 19-of-27 passes for 169 yards — none bigger than the third-down pass to Fiedorowicz in overtime. Rudock rolled to his right and lofted a pass to his big tight end in the left corner of the end zone.
Northwestern’s Kain Colter was sacked on the final play of the game to seal the win for Iowa. The Hawkeyes snapped a two-game losing skid. Both teams made mistakes on key opportunities late in the fourth quarter. Rudock threw an interception in the final minute. Northwestern running back Mike Trumpy mishandled an option pitch from Colter with three minutes left.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Desmond Roland ran for a career-high 219 yards and four touchdowns and 19th-ranked Oklahoma State routed Iowa State 58-27 on Saturday for its third straight win. Quarterback Clint Chelf had 163 total yards in his second start of the season for the Cowboys (6-1, 3-1 Big 12), who ran for a season-high 342 yards.
Oklahoma State scored 14 points in a 2-½ minute stretch late in the third quarter to extend its lead to 45-20. Roland ran 58 yards for his third touchdown of the day, and Tyler Johnson took a fumble 54 yards for a TD with 4:17 left in the third.
Sam Richardson had 95 yards passing and a touchdown for Iowa State (1-6, 0-4) before leaving the game late in the first half after an apparent blow to the head.
SHEFFIELD, Iowa (AP) — Iowa farmers are raising concerns about a shortage of propane that’s needed to dry crops during their harvest. The Mason City Globe-Gazette reports that farmers in northern Iowa have faced delays in propane deliveries before, but usually not because of a shortage.
Bruce Halvorson, petroleum manager for Five Star Cooperative, says the shortage is spread throughout the Midwest because of harvest demands. Halvorson says the terminals can’t keep up with demand. Brad Koenigsberg, who farms west of Sheffield, says he’s taking more of his corn to a local elevator for drying. He says the elevators are still able to dry because they use natural gas rather than propane.
An 86-year old man from Missouri Valley died after the car he was driving was rear-ended by a pickup truck Saturday morning on Interstate 680. The Iowa State Patrol says Donald Dean Obrecht, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene of the collision at around 7:15-a.m.
Officials say Obrecht’s 1999 Chevy Cavalier was westbound on I-680 just past the I-80 split, when his care was hit from behind by a 2001 Ford F-250 driven by 39-year old Mark Anthony Kaufman, of Harlan. Following the collision, the car came to rest in the median, while the pickup stopped on the shoulder of the road. Kaufman was not injured in the crash. Investigators do not believe alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.
A man reported to be in possession of a pipe was the subject of a massive search Friday evening, in Red Oak. According to Red Oak Police, the subject was brandishing a pipe at a residence in Red Oak, but by the time officers arrived, the man had taken off in an unknown direction. A search of the premises resulted in the discovery of a purse in the backyard of the home at 1401 ½ Eastern Avenue.
The Red Oak P-D requested the assistance of the Cass County K-9 Unit in helping search for the suspect. Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, officials with the Iowa State Patrol and Iowa Department of Motor Vehicle Enforcement also assisted in the search, but the suspect was not found.
No charges had been filed as of late Saturday morning.
Two people were arrested early Saturday morning in Montgomery County, following a traffic stop. Sheriff’s deputies stopped a Mazda truck driven by Deborah Moore, of Macedonia, at around 2-a.m. Upon further investigation, it was determined Moore was operated a motor vehicle while intoxicated, and had in her possession an open container of alcohol. Moore was charged with OWI/1st offense and open container.
A passenger in the pickup, 44-year old James Bruce Castillo, was arrested for Interference with Official Acts and Open Container. The pair were transported to the Montgomery County Jail, where Moore’s bond was set at $1,000, and the bond for Castillo was established at $300.
