CAM runs away from Audubon for big district win

Sports

September 23rd, 2022 by admin

The CAM Cougars started hot out of the gate and rolled to a 42-8 Homecoming win over the Audubon Wheelers on Friday. Austin Williams ripped off a 53-yard touchdown run on the Cougars first offensive play to set the tone.

Audubon answered that early CAM touchdown with a 65-yard shovel pass for a score from Aaron Olsen to Manny Beisswenger. That would be the end of the Audubon offensive effort in the first half though. The Cougars took the lead back two possessions later on a 47-yard pass from Chase Spieker to Jack Follmann. Then the Cougar defense took control. Audubon didn’t have a first down the entire half and lost yardage after that early touchdown play.

CAM led 28-8 by halftime and fully closed the door to start the second half. Jack Follmann ran for a 65-yard touchdown on the first play of the half to put CAM up 34-0. He would later add a 47-yard score to finish the scoring in the game.

Austin Williams finished with 132 yards and 2 touchdowns. Follmann had 132 yards and two scores on the ground and 57 yards receiving with two more scores. Chase Spieker finished 7 of 9 passing for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Cougars improved to 3-2 on the season and 1-1 in District 10.

Audubon falls to 2-4 on the season and 2-1 in District 10.

Iowa man found guilty on all counts for his role in US Capitol on Jan. 6

News

September 23rd, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – A Washington, D.C. jury has found a Des Moines man guilty on seven criminal charges related to his role in the rioting inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th of last year. Doug Jensen was among the first to be arrested after the attack and he said during an F-B-I interview that he wanted to be a poster boy for that day’s events. Jensen was seen in widely broadcast and shared videos confronting a U.S. Capitol Policeman on steps near the U.S. Senate floor.

The prosecutor told jurors Jensen didn’t just lead the mob that day, he weaponized it. Evidence during the trial showed Jensen was the 10th person to enter the Capitol. Jensen is likely to be sentenced in December.

Jensen’s attorney told jurors the pandemic did weird things to us, including Jensen, who believed online conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and what would happen on January 6th.

Democratic candidate in 4th congressional district says carbon pipelines a mistake

News

September 23rd, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Democratic candidate in Iowa’s fourth congressional district says proposed carbon pipelines are not the right way to cut carbon emissions. Ryan Melton is the Nevada Democrat challenging Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra. “I’ve been opposed to carbon capture pipelines since day one,” Melton says. “It’s definitely a failed climate change solution. If you go look at the record, there have been plenty of carbon sequestration plants that have opened and closed because they over promise and under deliver.”

Melton says there are better ways to use the federal tax credits developers of the carbon pipelines hope to secure. And Melton says emergency responders in rural Iowa are ill equipped to respond if there are ruptures to carbon pipelines. “We are facing an existential crisis when it comes to climate change. We need bold action,” Melton says. “Marrying ourselves to the status quo with a failed technology is not the way to go.” Melton says the carbon capture pipeline projects would be a boondoggle. He’s also opposed to President Biden’s move last spring to temporarily allow the year-round sale of E-15 — gasoline with a 15 percent blend of ethanol.

Melton says ethanol could be part of the mix, but it’s time to develop other energy sources that aren’t an additive to fossil fuels. “We need to have a much wider diversification of options because no politician and no scientist can sit here right now and tell you which of those options is going to be the silver bullet answer for climate change mitigation,” Melton says. “I think we should really be spending a lot more of our resources on next (generation) renewable energy — wind, solar — while still maintaining corn ethanol because, again, we need diversification.”

Melton made his comments during taping of “Iowa Press” which airs tonight (Friday) on Iowa P-B-S. Congressman Feenstra’s campaign manager issued a written statement, calling Melton an out of touch ally of President Biden who will continue the attacks on our way of life.
