Jim Norman, licensed land surveyor and co-owner of Mid-State Surveying and Consulting in Creston, surveys privately owned property that is being deeded to the city of Creston last week at Wyoming Avenue and Abell Street.

He has testified in court for cases ranging in severity from a minor property dispute to a murder trial.

His judgment calls – determined primarily by Iowa regulations – sometimes keep him up at night.

But, these impediments are a small price to pay for Norman, who enjoys the conditions of being a licensed land surveyor: investigation and analysis, working outdoors and keeping busy year-round.

“It’s an interesting occupation, being outdoors and meeting people,” he said.

“You get to meet all sorts

when it turns out like they wanted.”

Co-owners Norman, 65, and Greg Shawler, 64, of Mid-State Surveying and Consulting based in Creston, do all of the work themselves for projects spanning at least eight counties.

“We can go anywhere in the state, but we have enough work here without going further,” Norman said. “We’re usually two to three weeks out. Some projects are small; some are large. We’re busy.

For all my 40-some years of surveying, always been busy.”

Shawler added: “We like being busy. We have a lot of things going on all at the same time. You just have

Upon graduating from Creston High School in 1969, a career in land surveying hadn’t crossed Norman’s mind. He started taking classes at Southwestern Community College and worked at a gas station.

“I first got interested because my future motherin-law was a secretary for a surveying firm and needed some help,” Norman said.

“It was just better money than I was making, ... and it was something different.

I was really intimidated at first because I didn’t know anything, but I learned pretty quickly and loved being outside with people and working.”

After accumulating college credits, attending seminars, getting practical ex-

Hurricane Matthew spares South Florida, pushes north CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Hurricane Matthew scraped Florida’s Atlantic coast early Friday, toppling trees onto homes and knocking out power to a half-million people but sparing some of the most heavily populated stretches of shoreline the catastrophic blow many had feared.

Authorities warned that the danger was far from over, with hundreds of miles of coastline in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina still under threat of torrential rain and dangerous storm surge as the hurricane pushed north.

“Remember, it could be the worst of it is yet to come,” Gov. Rick Scott said in the morning.

Matthew was downgraded to a Category 3 hurricane overnight, and its storm center hung just offshore as it moved up the Florida coastline, sparing communities its full 120 mph winds. Still, it got close enough to knock down trees and power lines, and a 107 mph gust was recorded at Cape Canaveral.

As the storm closed in, an estimated 2 million people in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina were warned to move inland to escape the fury of the most powerful hurricane to menace the U.S. Atlantic coast in more than a decade.

Matthew left more than 280 people dead in its wake

across the Caribbean.

As it moved on to Florida, it largely skirted the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Palm Beach areas of over 7 million people and hugged closer to the coast farther north, menacing such communities as Vero Beach, Daytona Beach, Cape Canaveral and Jacksonville.

Some people who refused to evacuate were stranded and called for help early Friday but were told to stay put until conditions improved enough for paramedics and firefighters to get to them, said emergency operations spokesman David Waters in Brevard County, the home of Cape Canaveral.

“A family called in that the roof just flew off their home on Merritt Island,” Waters said.

It was a scene officials hoped to avoid in other cities as the storm pushed north.

In Jacksonville, where 500,000 people were told to evacuate, Mayor Lenny Curry warned that authorities would not be able to help them during the worst of the storm.

“You need to leave. If you do not leave you will be on your own,” Curry said.

Despite warnings, many people along the Florida coast decided to take their chances.

Gravel rescue: Creston firefighter Jordan Nelson and Tony Henry, center and right, carry a stokes basket and rescue equipment along the railings of a catwalk while firefighter Mike Burton climbs behind them with equipment over his shoulder during a gravel hopper rescue Thursday at American Concrete Products. According to a Creston Fire report, medical personnel were dispatched at 10:55 a.m. for a knee injury at the company, located at 506 E. Montgomery St. After personnel arrived on scene and assessed the situation, additional fire personnel were called at 11:05 a.m. to rescue a male patient from a gravel hopper. Firefighters were unable to rescue the patient from the lower portion of the hopper. Tarps were used to protect the patient and medical personnel from loose gravel and firefighters used a harness, rope extrication equipment and tripod to raise the patient about 25 feet out of the hopper. They then lowered him about 35 feet to the ground. After about two hours, the patient was extricated and transported to Greater Regional Medical Center, where his condition is currently unknown.

INSIDE Deaths

Dorothy Brender Leavenworth, Wash.

Dorothy Alice Brender (née DeWees), a resident of Leavenworth, Washington, died at the age of 94 on Monday, Oct. 3, 2016.

Dorothy was born Jan. 19, 1922, in Creston to local musician Chester DeWees and his wife, Myrtle. In the wake of the Great Dust Bowl, Dorothy and her family moved to Washington state, settling in the Wenatchee Valley area where she met her future husband, Stanley Brender.

When her family then moved to Hoqiuam, Washington, she and her sister remained

Donald Victor Westminster, Colo.

Donald Joseph Victor, 87 of Westminster, Colorado, died Friday, Sept. 16, 2016, at Broomfield Skilled Nursing and Hospice Facility in Broomfield, Colorado.

Funeral services were held Sept. 30 at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver, Colorado. Memorials given in Joe’s name may be made to the Williamson American Legion or Auxiliary in care of Wayne Victor, 2838 160th St., Prescott, IA 50859.

Donald Joseph, son of Fred and Ruth (Davis) Victor, was born April 2, 1929, in Adams County near Prescott. He graduated from Prescott High School with the class of 1948.

On Aug. 20, 1950, he married Eleanor Jean Stalder in Nodaway.

Joe farmed in his younger years and was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving in the Korean War from 1951 to 1953. After being discharged from the Army, Joe and Jean moved to Creston, where he

Long rode out the storm in his 32-foot camper in a park a half-mile from the beach.

He lost power shortly before dawn but quickly fired up his generator. Small tree branches battered the vehicle but the large ones on the park’s giant oak trees didn’t fall.

“It was kind of loud and kind of shaky but nothing that caused too much concern,” he said.

Robert Tyler had feared a storm surge would flood his street, which is only two blocks from the Cape Canaveral beach. But he and his wife, Georgette, felt fortunate Friday morning when they looked out the front door of their one-story cinderblock apartment and there wasn’t much water.

Tree branches littered the road, and he could hear transformers exploding overnight, but his home didn’t appear to have damage on first inspection, and his vehicles were unharmed.

“Overnight, it was scary as heck. That description of a freight train is pretty accurate. At one point it felt like the windows were going to blow even though they all were covered with plywood,” he said.

Florida’s governor called

on Stanley’s homesteaded land on Blewett Pass. After marrying, Dorothy and Stanley moved into Leavenworth where they spent the rest of their lives.

A devoted family woman, she lived to enjoy two sons, Terry and Louis of Cashmere and Leavenworth, respectively; a daughter, Deanna, of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. A true homemaker, her family remembers her most lovingly for her work ethic and unconditional hospitality.

Dorothy’s service will be held 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11, at Ward’s Funeral Chapel, 303 Pine St., in Leavenworth, Washington. All are welcome to attend. was employed with Creston Bottling Co. They moved in 1965 to Westminster, Colorado, and he was employed at Borden’s Milk Co. and Richlawn Turf Farms. In 1970, he went to work at Adolph Coors Co. in Golden, Colorado, where he retired in 1995.

He was a member of Williamson American Legion and Elks Club in Creston.

Joe is survived by his wife Jean of Westminster, Colorado; daughters Kathy Kvasnicka of Fort Lupton, Colorado, and Susan (Kent) Geist of Scott City, Kansas; sons Steve (Laurie) Victor of Broomfield, Colorado, and Bruce (Julie) Victor of Fort Lupton, Colorado; nine grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; brothers, Wayne (Wanda) Victor of Prescott and Mike (Jane) Victor of Adel; sisterin-law Kay (Gary) Harken of Beaver City, Nebraska; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Ruth Core Victor, and one great-grandson. it a “blessing” that so far Florida was avoiding a direct hit as the storm sliced northward.

Still, forecasters said it could dump up to 15 inches of rain in some spots and cause a storm surge of 9 feet or more. They said the major threat to the Southeast would not be the winds — which newer buildings can withstand — but the massive surge of seawater that could wash over coastal communities.

The Fort Lauderdale and Orlando airports shut down.

Airlines canceled more than 3,000 flights Thursday and Friday, many of them in or out of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Amtrak suspended train service between Miami and New York, and cruise lines rerouted ships to avoid the storm, which in some cases will mean more days at sea.

Orlando’s world-famous theme parks — Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld — all closed.

Thousands of people hunkered down in schools converted to shelters, and inland hotels in places such as Charlotte, North Carolina, reported brisk business.

The last Category 3 storm or higher to hit the U.S. was Wilma in October 2005. It sliced across Florida with 120 mph winds, killing five people and causing an estimated $21 billion in damage.

“We had a couple licensed surveyors, and when they retired, it kind of forced me to get my license so I could do it. To keep my license, I have to have 30 hours of continuing education every two years, and then apply to the state and they have to OK it.”

When the previous owner of Mid-State Engineering left, he and Shawler became co-owners of Mid-State Surveying in 2002.

In court, Norman testified to how the drawing worked and the work he had done to be used for an exhibit.

“I was the first witness at the murder trial,” Norman said. “We went to Corning the first time, but the jury was a bunch of men; they were going to hang the lady.

So then, there was a mistrial, and we had to go to Winterset and do it again. So, a survey can be different things.”

Weather While Norman said his is an interesting occupation, working year-round in all types of weather can be challenging.

“You have to like the outdoors, winter and summer, and I hate the summer,” he said. “I’d rather work in zero degrees with no wind.

Summer is so hot – carrying all the equipment and walking up through pastures and sweating.”

Norman said their busiest time is summer, but they keep busy all the time.

“One day, we had to go out and drive a bunch of steel posts into the ground on some corners for the county,” he said. “They were condemning some right-of-way, and the ground was frozen solid, and we had to drive these steel posts in farther to make them stand up. When I got done, my hands were bloody and it was about zero. It was miserable.”

Technology Updates in technology have been a game-changer in the world of land surveying. When Norman started, everything was done by hand and required extensive math – trigonometry, algebra and geometry.

“Now, we have GPS, which is much, much easier surveying using satellites,” he said. “We don’t hardly get our instrument out anymore – our actual survey transit – because we can use GPS and do most of the surveying. It’s quicker, but it’s also very expensive equipment.”

Their last set of equipment cost $27,000, and it saves them hours of time and saves clients money.

“If we had to do it by hand, it would take three or four times as long to do surveying as it does with GPS,” Norman said.

Nearing retirement Retirement might be as soon as this coming year, Norman said. They either have to find someone to buy the business or just quit.

“But, if we close, it’s going to leave a big hole for surveying because we’re busy all the time. A lot of these people are people we’ve worked for all our lives and they’re friends,” he said. “I like the work, but it gets old after 43 years in one job.”

Once he retires, Norman plans to spend more time with his wife, Debbie; adult children, Heather and Matthew; and four grandchildren.

“I’ve learned a lot from him in the profession of land surveying,” S h a w l e r Shawler said of Norman.

“It’s been a pretty successful business.”

A place for diabetic-firendly recipes Dear Heloise: Women’s magazines have recipes that are full of sugars, carbohydrates and fats. They need to come up with recipes that are DIABETIC-FRIENDLY. Approximately 1.4 million people are diagnosed with diabetes every year.

Please, we need recipes that won’t make these statistics worse! – Myra E., Ingram, Texas Myra, I think magazines should consider printing some diabetic-friendly recipes. Check out your local grocery store’s magazine rack, and I think you’ll find many different magazines targeting living with diabetes.

Or consider visiting the American Diabetes Association at www.diabetes. org. Go to the tab labeled “Food and Fitness” and type in “Holiday Recipes” to get some “sweet” recipes. At this site, you can get recipes, hints and education, all for free! – Heloise TRAVELING WITH FRAGRANCES Dear Heloise: Here’s a travel hint that works for me: I love wearing a little perfume, but it’s not practical to pack perfume bottles in luggage when traveling. In-

Hints from Heloise stead, I save the pages from my magazines that include samples of perfume. They lie flat, don’t leak, won’t break, and I get to sample new fragrances! – K.H., Roseville, Calif.

BAKING SODA TO THE RESCUE Dear Heloise: I have suntan lotion (zinc oxide) on the black interior of my car. Nothing will remove it – not even vinegar. I hope you have an answer. – Donna B., Poland, Ohio Well, Donna, without specifics as to the type of material we’re dealing with, it’s difficult to say. Assuming it’s cloth, I’d recommend sprinkling it with baking soda. Leave it on for at least 24 hours, then vacuum. Baking soda is so versatile that it should be a household staple. That’s why I created a pamphlet full of amazing ways to use it. To get a copy of Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes, send $5 and a stamped (68 cents),

The club discussed donations for domestic violence and collected $92 for the Crisis Intervention Center. Jerri Henderson will use the funds to purchase gas cards.

Betty Wallace reported that even after a late start, the blood mobile had 84 donors. Mary Morris is the “caller” and stated she had called Vaughn and Polly to tell them about today’s meeting. Pat Butcher told the club about the Empowerment of Wounded Women Warriors and a discussion followed regarding what the club could contribute. This will be discussed at the next meeting.

Joan Johnson gave a presentation on Land Conservation or as she called it, “Dirt.” She had an issue of the April 1911 Successful Farming magazine and read excerpts from an article about rebuilding worn out soil. It said rotating crops wasn’t the answer, instead planting and plowing under a

cover crop would produce the best results. The article mentioned legumes as a good cover crop. She read that when the timber lands in the corn belt – Iowa, Indiana and Illinois – were first farmed, the land produced 100 bushels per acre of corn. Continual use reduced that to 30 bushels per acre. Joan also shared some 2016 ideas for building up worn-out soil and tips from Jerry Baker on improving garden soil.

Johnson brought a newly started coal “flower garden” to share and passed out directions on how to grow them.

Panther netters can’t quite close deal in road loss

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — Creston’s volleyball team had good moments in each of the three sets of Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference match at Glenwood.

But the Panthers had the same problem late in each set. Creston couldn’t find a way to finish.

Glenwood capitalized on that as the Rams won in three straight, 2518, 25-20, 28-26.

“We struggled to close the deal tonight,” said Creston coach Polly Luther.

The postmatch chat focused on the mental side of teh game.

“We talked in the locker room a lot about mental toughness, of disciplining yourselves,” Luther said.

“Especially with young kids, it’s a learning curve.”

The progress hasn’t moved along at the pace Luther would like.

“We’d like them to learn a little faster,” she said. “You expect some mental weakness with young kids.

But also we’d like it to start changing a little faster. We’ll roll with the punches and go at it another day.”

Glenwood started slow in each set and Creston capitalized.

But the Panthers just couldn’t finish.

Mistakes late in the sets cost the Panthers.

“We made mistakes that a varsity team shouldn’t be making, especially with our skill set,” Luther said. “At some point the girls have to believe in themselves.”

If the Panthers could taste success in a tight match, it might turn the tables, Luther said.

“Until we have some success more than once, it’s tough to grasp,” she said.

The silly mistakes cost the Panthers at various points.

“We tend to make basic mistakes of hitting, passing and serving that we shouldn’t be making at this point of the season,” Luther said. “It’s something we have to remedy in order for us to be a good ball club.”

Cayla Maitlen led the Panthers with 10 kills. Breanna Wallace had eight kills and Megan Haley added seven. Jaxie Luther had 29 assists.

Haley had 10 digs, while Maitlen added seven. Matilen was 12-of-12 serving, while Makenna Hudson was 12-of-13 with one ace.

UP NEXT — Creston (6-9, 2-5) is back on the court Saturday at the Indianola Tournament.

Experience of a lifetime ■ Creston’s Allyn Monaghan worked as volunteer at the Ryder Cup

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

When Allyn Monaghan received an email a year ago, he didn’t think much of it.

In it, he found out he’d been selected to be a volunteer worker at the Ryder Cup golf tournament in 2016 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in the Minneapolis suburb of Chaska, Minnesota.

A week later, he received another one telling him he was one of 3,900 chosen out of 16,000 who applied for spots to work at the biennial tournament that features some of the top golfers from the United States and Europe competing for bragging rights.

It started an incredible journey of both working and being able to watch one of golf’s most prestigious events.

“I’ll never forget it,” Monaghan said. “I was lucky enough to get chosen.”

He has watched the Ryder Cup on television before.

Being there at Hazeltine was an entirely different experience for Monaghan.

“It was unbelievable,” Monaghan said. “Watching it on TV, you get some of that, but being there live it’s just amazing.”

Monaghan’s journey to working at the Ryder Cup started in 2014. His son Brett noticed in 2014 that volunteers applications were being submitted for the 2016 Ryder Cup. Brett Monaghan gave his CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG father the password. An ap- Creston resident Allyn Monaghan spent last week working as a volunteer at the 41st plication was submitted.

Around Christmas of 2015, Allyn found out he “I thought somebody was crazy. I called him (Brett) up have you heard anything? was chosen to work at the playing a joke on me,” Allyn and asked did you get select- I got an email? I called my tournament.

to work at the Ryder Cup? Have you heard anything?

‘No.’ I thought somebody was playing a hoax on me.”

He soon found out it wasn’t.

“The next week I got another one,” Allyn said.

“They said they had 16,000 people worldwide go online be a worker and 3,900 people were selected. It was one of those things I lucked out.

I was very lucky to be selected.”

“It was quite a deal.”

Allyn was selected to be on the merchandise committee. He worked Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of the Ryder Cup week from 6:15-10:15 a.m.

In order to serve as a volunteer, those chosen had to work at least two days on the weekend of the tournament — either Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday.

Monaghan bought his official Ryder Cup apparel he wore while working.

“The outfit that you got, the cap and three shirts, jacket, backpack and a Ryder Cup service medal pin I had to pay,” Monaghan said. “It turned out to be about half price. I had to pay about $210 something like that. We figured up what the cost would’ve been and it would’ve been over $500.”

He worked as a greeter as well as a bagger, helping pack up the merchandise patrons bought.

The enormous merchandise tent, half the size of a Walmart Monaghan estimated, was packed to the gills with all sorts of apparel and other items for Ryder Cup patrons to purchase.

“There was 16 different dealers there — Adidas, Nike, Cutter & Buck, Under RYDER CUP | 2S

Diagonal volleyball success impressive in context Maroonettes reach highest win total in over a decade

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

DIAGONAL — Over half of the girls attending Diagonal High School play on the volleyball team this season. Twelve players make up the roster in what is, by attendance, the smallest public school in the state.

On this fall’s team are five seniors who have helped the program grow in ways that aren’t just about statistics, but they do help tell a story.

The senior class has nine students.

There are 20 girls in the school and 36 students. The most recent census lists 328 people as residents.

Kasydi Klommhaus, Allison Nor-

ris, Jaci Haidsiak, Megan Davenport and Stormie Buchanan make up the winningest group of seniors in recent memory. Last year there wasn’t even a senior on the team. These five lead a group that features talented and fundamentally sound players throughout the roster.

As of Thursday, the Diagonal Maroonettes volleyball squad has five wins. While that doesn’t sound particularly awe-inspiring upon first reference, a couple of facts are worth listening to.

The Maroonettes picked up their fifth win Monday night in the team’s second win of the season against Orient-Macksburg.

“I’m just excited that we got that fifth win and we still have a chance to go; it’s not our last game and I think we can get another one under our belt,” first-year Diagonal coach Mallory Grandfield said.

In fact, with records dating back to 2007, there is no year in which the Diagonal volleyball team won more

than four games in a season.

Former Diagonal coach Allison Hajek unearthed a few school yearbooks that point toward 1989 and 1990 as the last Grandfield years when the team had more than four wins. The 1987 school year is believed to be the first year of the volleyball program’s exiestence.

“It’s amazing and I am so proud of the girls,” Grandfield said. “A lot of it I do owe to coach (Allison Hajek).

She has built them up the last three years and given me a base to work with. I turn to her a lot still with players and lineups and stuff and she’s always in the loop.”

For this senior class, their freshman year of volleyball started out with a winless 2013 campaign. That was followed by a three-win 2014 season. Then four in 2015. Now Di-

agonal is up to five.

“We’ve been through every sport together so it’s kind of exciting just going through the wins and losses, mostly the wins together,” Klommhaus said. “We have gotten better throughout every sport and volleyball was something that I think we were all looking forward to this year because we had some DIAGONAL | 3S

Creston resident Allyn Monaghan spent last week working as a volunteer at the 41st Ryder Cup golf tournament at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. Pictured above includes a program, the volunteer manual, his volunteer badge and a pin commemorating his being a volunteer at the Ryder Cup.

RYDER CUP: CONT. FROM | 1S

Armour, kids, adults, men, women, caps, shirts, pullovers, whatever you name it, putter covers, anything that you could really want,�

Monaghan said. There were mannequins showcasing what each team was wearing each day.

Patrons attending the tournament flooded the store throughout the six days of competition. Even the weekend before when the shop was open to patrons to shop, it was filled. “I met people from all over the world,� he said.

Ryder Cup patrons were not shy about spending money either, Monaghan said. “People would spend $1,000, $2,000 like there was nothing to it,� Monaghan said. “They were buying stuff for everyone.�

Monaghan heard about how the place was so packed, the doors had to be locked until enough patrons left. “One day I wasn’t working, the fire marshall came in and said there was too many people in the shop. They had to lock the door.�

Patrons patiently waited for the doors to reopen later in the day. “The line extended form there to where people came in to the Ryder Cup course,�

Monaghan said. “They had to wait for people to leave so the other people could come in. It was unbelievable how packed it was in there.�

Because of the number of patrons at the store, his shifts flew by. “We were so busy, the four hour shift went by like that,�

Monaghan said. “I was happy to get done with my shift and go out.�

As a volunteer, he was given a credential which allowed him access to the course whenever he so desired.

He took advantage of that, watching practice rounds on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, then partook in the action after his shifts were completed Friday and Saturday.

On Sunday, he was on the grounds watching as a golf fan. On both the days he was working and days he wasn’t, he was out and about on the grounds of Hazeltine.

Patrons packed the course, in excess of 50,000 per day Monaghan estimated. “I walked the course,� he said. “I would go out to the different holes each day.�

The buzz around the Ryder Cup was quite different

from other golf tournaments Monaghan has been to, such as the Masters. “The electricity was amazing,� Monaghan said. “I’ve been to the Masters and it’s just amazing the electricity each day. It just builds, the crescendo, the crowds. “It was just a once in a lifetime experience.�

The clammer throughout the golf course, he said, was constant. “The Masters, it would get loud when a player would do something,� Monaghan said. “This was continuous.�

The ground was filled with plenty of patriotism for the USA as well as cheers for team Europe. “I never stood up so many times and sang the national anthem, God Bless America and America The Beautiful,� Monaghan said. “They had chants all the time. The Europeans had their chants.�

He was sitting in the bleachers on hole one on Saturday during the foursomes matches. After the last group had teed off, he was walking out to another hole when he was tapped on his shoulders by a policeman. “He said ‘make way.’ I turned and here comes Zach Johnson and Brandt Snedeker,� Monaghan said. “Bubba Watson was in the crowd.�

He arrived at the course around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday.

He made his way to the second hole and watched everyone play through during singles.

He was on hole No. 8 when Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy stared each other down after each made birdie putts to halve the hole.

The roar reverberated throughout Hazeltine. “You could hear it all over the course,� Monaghan said. “Even Phil Mickelson had to back off a putt on three and that green was way the heck over from number eight.�

Because he was a worker, he was allowed closer than most of the patrons. “I was able to get up to the ropes to watch them tee off, walk up and watch them putt out,� Monaghan said. “It was amazing.�

Creston resident Allyn Moonaghan spent last week working as a volunteer at the 41st Ryder Cup golf tournament at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.

Above is the badge he wore both while working, as well as when he was on the grounds as a spectator watching the prestigious tournament.

Masters on multiple occassions; the most prestigious annual golf tournament in the world.

While there’s quite the atmosphere at Augusta National, it was nothing compared to the Ryder Cup. “Just the frenzy, the electricity — it was a once-ina-lifetime experience I will never forget,� Monaghan said.

He met people from all over the world, from Scotland, Sweden, Great Britain, as well as from around the United States. He was talking to patrons from North Dakota. When they found out Monaghan was from Iowa, they proceeded to talk about North Dakota State’s recent win in football over Iowa. “You never knew who you were going to meet or where they were from,� Monaghan said. “It’s a world-wide event.�

The next Ryder Cup will

be held in 2018 in Paris.

While Monaghan said he’s not likely to go to that, he’s going to try to go to the Ryder Cup when it’s held at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin in 2020. “I told my son I’m going to put in for Whistling Straits in 2020,� Monaghan said. The size and scope of the Ryder Cup can’t be felt watching in on television, but rather must be experienced in person. “You don’t realize how big of an event it is until you get there,� Monaghan said.

He compared it with other big time sporting events he’s been to, such as the Masters, the seventh game of a baseball World Series and so on.

It was for Monaghan an experience of a lifetime. “You can’t imagine the feeling of being there, the electricity in the air,�

Monaghan said. “It was really wild.�

Creston native and current Northwest Missouri State Bearcat Collin Bevins rushes Central Missouti State quarterback Garrett Fugate during their matchup in the Fall Classic last Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Bevins had one solo tackle, three assists and one and a half tackles for loss as the Division II top-ranked Bearcats rolled to their 20th straight win with a 42-17 win in front of nearly 16,000 fans at the home of the National Football League’s Chiefs. The Bearcats are back on the field Saturday at Central Oklahoma.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. in Edmond, Oklahoma.

height on our team and we were excited to see what we could do.”

Much of what the Maroonettes do isn’t of the shock and awe variety. They practice getting their serve in and work to improve their hitting. They aren’t particularly tall, and they don’t have girls who will leap and and blast the ball 70 miles per hour to the floor. But they do continue to work and show improvement as they have done the last few years.

“We have really been focusing on hitting and getting the ball down in practice because at the beginning of the year it was scary a bit,” Klommhaus said. ”Once we get one kill, we all kind of feed off of that and we tend to progress throughout the

games.”

Talented girls wait in the wings, not that they haven’t proven capable already.

Hitter Emily Newton has showed increased confidence throughout the season. Katie Sobotka and Cassie Lohmann will return as a senior leaders.

Throw it back to 19871988. Three women who played on perhaps the first volleyball team in school history. Terri (Brown) Newton is the mother of Emily Newton. Lisa (Vicker) Taylor is the mother of Bailey Taylor.

Darla (Bell) Sobotka is the mother of Katie and Erin Sobotka. All four could be back next year to build on the program’s success.

“I see some, still some spots to improve but I see incredible potential for the underclassmen coming up,” Grandfield said.

For fellow senior and multi-sport athlete Allison

Norris, the increased confidence from hard work and on-the-court success has meant a lot.

“These girls are like my sisters,” Norris said. “To get better every year is just awesome because I know that even after we’re gone, they’ll continue. The girls that are behind us will get better and I know we’ve all got better.”

As good an experience as it has been for these five seniors, the satisfaction of the success they have reaped puts a smile on their faces.

“We’ve become more of a competitor against all the other teams,” Norris said.

“We’re not as looked down upon as we used to be.”

It’s not necessary to look down upon the Maroonettes when you can look up at the model of success and work they continue to put in.
