MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) – Jack Cantele kicked a 42-yard field goal with three seconds left to cap Kansas State’s 38-35 come-from-behind victory over Iowa State on Saturday.  Kansas State (4-6, 1-6 Big 12 Conference) recovered three Iowa State (3-8, 2-6) fumbles in the final seven minutes and rallied from a 35-14 first-half deficit.

Charles Jones ran for a 5-yard touchdown to tie it at 35 with 42 seconds following two Iowa State turnovers. Marquel Bryant then sacked and forced a Joel Lanning fumble. It was recovered by Charmeachealle Moore on the Cyclone 25 to set up Cantele’s game-winner two plays later.

Joe Hubener had 216 yards passing and a touchdown to lead Kansas State, who needed the win to stay bowl eligible. Lanning threw for 195 yards and three touchdown passes, two to Allen Lazard in the first half. Mike Warren ran for 195 yards with a 76-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Kansas State has won eight straight against the Cyclones.

A teenager from Red Oak was cited for three offenses following a non-injury accident Friday afternoon. Authorities say following an investigation, 16-year old Clayton Darenel Lecinski was cited for Following Too Closely, Leaving the Scene of an Accident and for Violating the terms of his instruction permit, after the 2003 Buick Century he was driving collided with the rear of a 2010 Chevy Aveo, driven by 44-year old Brandie Lynn Woodyard, of Shenandoah.

The accident happened at around 12:35-p.m. Friday, at the intersection of Highway 34 and N. 4th Street, in Red Oak.

Damage from the collision amounted to $11,000.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa residents are digging out from under more than a foot of snow in some places, while roads over all but the southwest portion of the state remain impassable or partially blocked. The National Weather Service says a wintry storm that began dropping snow on the state Friday dumped between 6 and 12 inches overnight on much of Iowa.

Officials say the heaviest snow fell between around Highway 20 in the Cedar Falls and Waterloo areas. Craig Bargfrede with the Iowa Department of Transportation told the Des Moines Register that plow crews worked through the night and were still working Saturday to clear roads.

Temperatures for most of the state will range from 20 to 25 degrees Saturday, with wind chills in the teens and single digits.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Omaha, Nebraska, soybean processor is moving ahead with a $38 million expansion of its biodiesel plant south of Sioux City that will nearly double production of the soy-based fuel.

The Sioux City Journal reports that Ag Processing Inc. is planning the expansion at its Port Neal plant, which was the nation’s first commercial-scale biodiesel plant when it opened in 1996. The plant currently produces up to 30 million gallons per year.

At separate meetings Friday, local and state officials adopted a package of incentives to help finance the biodiesel expansion, which is expected to create three new jobs. The Iowa Economic Development Authority in Des Moines approved $308,000 in added incentives, with $24,000 in loans and $280,000 in increased tax credits.

NOTE from Miss NiNi: What an easy baked treat to make! Roasted sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, and even chopped pistachios would add even more crunch and great flavor combination! Consider this recipe as part of your Christmas entertaining arsenal. Let young children help arrange the saltines, measure ingredients, and sprinkle on toppings. Dried cranberries add such a cherry holiday presentation! If white chocolate is too sweet for your taste buds, darker chocolate can be substituted.
