Iowa GOP passes bill opponents say will gut public unions

This year’s jazz band season turned out to be one of the more successful in recent memory for Creston Community High School Band Director Mike Peters.

The season culminated Monday with the CCHS jazz band taking first place at the Lewis and Clark Festival in Sioux City.

“We’ve always done really well,” Peters said. “Last year, we didn’t even place at Lewis and Clark. This is obviously better that way.

I would say it was probably one of our strongest years we’ve had in the last couple.

They worked really hard.”

Lewis and Clark Festival was the third and final contest performance for the

DES MOINES (AP) — Public sector unions in Iowa will have less authority to negotiate working conditions for teachers, nurses and correctional officers under a bill passed Thursday in the new Republican-controlled Legislature that critics say is aimed at crippling organized labor in the state.

The legislation, expected to be signed into law by Iowa’s conservative governor, will prohibit workers from collectively negotiating over health insurance, extra pay and several other items currently covered by law. It’s expected to be one of the most significant bills of the legislative session, in part because of loud opposition from Democrats and unions.

jazz band this year, which began practicing in November. The jazz band, along with drum line and concert band, will perform 7 p.m.

March 6 in the CCHS auditorium in a local performance.

Creston Community School District Superintendent Steve McDermott watched video online of the

jazz band’s performance at Lewis and Clark Festival.

“The performance was outstanding,” he said.

“And, although it’s not the same impact as actually being there, I’m just always inspired when I hear that group play. They put a whole lot of work into their instrumental music and you can tell. Several of those

students, at this point, aren’t just playing the notes, their music is actually expressive and you can tell they’ve matured in their musicianship.”

In addition to the win at Lewis and Clark Festival, the CCHS jazz band also took third out of eight BAND | 2A

fight,” said Ken Sagar, president of the Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, after the chambers debated the legislation simultaneously and passed it roughly an hour apart. “But we will not give up on this fight for the rights and lives of working Iowans.”

Republicans have repeatedly denied claims that politics were involved in the legislation. Critics point to the fact that the minority party and labor groups were kept in the dark about the bill’s drafting. It was made public on Feb. 7, before being fasttracked through committee votes over a few days.

afternoon in a field on 240th Street in rural Shannon City. According to a Creston Fire report, firefighters were dispatched at 2:25 p.m. to assist Afton Fire with a grass and structure fire.

Upon arrival, Creston firefighters found a garage burned down and approximately four acres of field on fire.

IOWA CITY (AP) — A judge has dismissed an open meetings lawsuit challenging the University of Iowa presidential search following the death of the retired professor who filed it.

Judge Ian Thornhill blocked a request by Harold Hammond’s estate to assign the case to a new plantiff, retired professor John Menninger.

The ruling cancels a trial scheduled for next month and avoids a decision about the merits of claims that search committee members violated

the law by meeting outside Iowa and holding improperly closed sessions.

A second lawsuit over the 2015 search continues. That case alleges Board of Regents members violated the law when they met privately with their eventual choice, Bruce Harreld.

Thornhill says Hammond’s attorney waited too long to take action following Hammond’s death last June. He says allowing the case to proceed would be “prejudicial” to the defendants.

DEATHS Mary Jean Gates Creston

Mary Jean Gates, 91, of Creston went to heaven Feb. 13, 2017.

She was born April 29, 1925, in Sioux County to Henry J. and Mary Van Houte Rensink. She graduated f r o m Boyden H i g h School in 1942.

It was while she was Gates attending business college in La Crosse, Wisconsin, that she met her husband-to-be, Albert Gates. After three dates, they were separated by Al’s deployment to Nazi Germany. Mary Jean wrote to her beau every day, and immediately upon his discharge from the Army in 1945, they were married. They honored their vows for 71 1/2 years.

In 1949, Mary Jean was invited to an ole time evangelistic tent meeting.

It was there she heard she was a sinner and in desperate need of being born again. Jesus Himself said in John 3 “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” She also heard Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Other scriptures were shared with her to show her that

Lorene Means, 90, of Creston died Thursday, Feb. 16, 2017, at Greater Regional Hospice Home in Creston.

Private family burial will be in Graceland cemetery in Creston at a later date. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Lorene Elizabeth Means, daughter of Mollie Eller (Martin) and Marcus Janeway, was born Feb. 7, 1927, in Gown, Oklahoma. Lorene attended Edgewood High School in Edgewood, Colorado. Lorene worked for a potato chip factory, as well as, volunteering in a U.S.O. club for a short time.

On Feb. 9, 1944, Lorene married Robert Harrison Means in Denver, Colorado. They settled in Sarasota, Florida, until the completion

her goodnesses were not good enough to get her to heaven. She had a sin debt to pay and only Jesus could pay it for her. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Mary Jean heard the truth, believed it in her heart and by faith trusted in Jesus to be her Savior. Romans 10:13 says, “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Mary Jean repented of her sin and realized “if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away and all things become new.” All her married life she was devoted to God, her husband Al and her family, and was actively involved in the ministries of First Baptist Church and the Gideon’s.

Mary Jean was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Glenn and Bud; two sisters, Eleanor and JoAnn; and daughter-inlaw Maggie.

She is survived by her husband, Al; one sister, Doris; one daughter, Marian; two sons, Glen and Alan (wife Nancy); 12 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Her body was buried Feb. 14, 2017, in Union Cemetery.

Mary Jean is in heaven enjoying the presence of her Lord and awaiting the resurrection. Her memorial service is 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 19, at First Baptist Church in Creston.

of Bob’s military service.

In December 1945, Lorene moved back to Creston where she worked a variety of jobs at the Chicken Inn, and also filled in at area cafes, a photography business in Missouri and was an active mother and homemaker.

Lorene was an active member of Eagles Lodge No. 1398, where she served in many different rolls including district chairman until 2008. She also volunteered at Greater Regional Hospital for many years.

Lorene is survived by her grandchildren, Delora Beal, Julia Beal and Raymond Beal; great-grandsons, Michael and Steven Beal and one great-great-grandson.

Lorene was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Robert; and daughter, Dorene Beal.

Steven Klein is accused of killing 38-year-old Susan Kersten, whose body was found in her burned-out car near Iowa City.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that Judge Chad Kepros said in an order filed Wednesday that he

was informed Klein wanted to enter a plea and be immediately sentenced.

It’s unclear what charge or charges will be pleaded to by Klein. He’d been charged with first-degree murder. His trial had been scheduled to begin March 27.

An autopsy showed Kersten died of blunt force trauma to the head before the car fire.

debate, Republicans used a rare procedural move in both chambers to force floor votes. This happened despite dozens of pending filibuster challenges from Democrats.

“The biggest losers today are the people of Iowa, who have been silenced by this process in what is really an unprecedented maneuver,” said Democratic Sen. Joe Bolkcom, who spoke during a marathon debate in the state Senate that began Wednesday morning and continued into the night before a 29-21 floor vote.

The proposal is similar to Wisconsin’s 2011 collective bargaining law that drew large demonstrations in that state. In Iowa, hundreds of people turned out at weekend forums to oppose the bill, which culminated with

kids did really well.’ So, I was really proud of them.”

Jazz band competitions include playing the songs, but also asking band members to perform improvised solos.

Tyler Peters, Bailey Hopkins, Fehrle and Gabe Frakes all received outstanding soloists throughout the year.

Peters said performing solos allows the band members to explore a creative element to their playing.

Bands are judged on how well they play individually, how well the rhythm section plays, how well the brass

section plays, how well the saxophone section plays and how well they play as a whole ensemble.

“There’s a category for style – how well they play the style they’re supposed to be playing,” Peters said.

“You wouldn’t want your swing tune to sound like a polka and you wouldn’t want the Latin to sound like a rock tune. I tell the kids, it’s like you don’t try to speak German with a French accent. You have to speak the language of the style using the correct dialect.”

The most important part

of being involved in jazz band, or any of Peters’ band programs, is learning how to work toward excellence, Peters said.

“I teach excellence, making kids realize you have to work hard and when you work hard, there’s success,” he said. “When you have success, there’s excellence.

What’s important is these kids work hard so they get good at this, so they get excellence at this. That’s more important, more of a life lesson than anything.

Hopefully I’ve taught them that hard work creates excellence.”

a large gathering Monday night at the Iowa Capitol.

But the building has been relatively empty since then, a stark contrast to the turnout in Wisconsin that made national headlines.

Since the collective bargaining law went into effect in Wisconsin, membership for both public and private unions in the state has dropped 40 percent.

Republicans have repeatedly said the bill will give local governments more flexibility with their budgets and promote talented employees.

Just before the 53-47 House vote, GOP Rep. Steven Holt called the bill “a win” that would provide greater accountability for all collective bargaining parties.

“We inadvertently created a system that discourages innovation and instead simply protects the status quo,” he said, referencing the 1974 collective bargaining law

that was passed by a Republican governor to avoid employee strikes.

Union organizers argue the current law works and ensures employers have a fair seat at the table alongside workers. The Iowa State Education Association, which represents 34,000 Iowa school employees, said the system works so well that more than 160 school districts had settled bargaining contracts in the past week in a rush to avoid complications from the bill.

One of those complications may be a legal challenge. Danny Homan, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Iowa Council 61, said Thursday that his organization would file a lawsuit soon to challenge the bill’s constitutionality.

There are roughly 180,000 public sector employees in Iowa that are covered by union contracts and would

be impacted by the legislation. Public safety workers, such as law enforcement officers and firefighters, would be exempt from some provisions of the bill.

Those public safety workers would still be subject to a requirement that unions manually collect dues and that they hold more frequent elections on whether to dismantle. Legal experts who study labor issues say the move is aimed at financially crippling unions.

Academics say the ripple effect is weakened unions with reduced membership, less financial stability and a smaller voice in state politics.

Two of the largest public sector unions in Iowa, AFSCME Iowa Council 61 and ISEA, contributed a combined total of more than $1 million to the Iowa Democratic Party in 2016, a figure that is based on available campaign contribution filings.

Trump weighs mobilizing Nat Guard for immigration roundups The Trump administration is considering a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, including millions living nowhere near the Mexico border, according to a draft memo obtained by The Associated Press.

The 11-page document calls for the unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement as far north as Portland, Oregon, and as far east as New Orle-

ans, Louisiana.

Four states that border on Mexico are included in the proposal — California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas — but it also encompasses seven states contiguous to those four — Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the AP report was “100 percent not sure” and “irresponsible.” ‘’There is no effort at all to utilize the National Guard

honor that which you love most.

to round up unauthorized immigrants,” he said.

Governors in the 11 states would have a choice whether to have their guard troops participate, according to the memo, written

by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general.

While National Guard personnel have been used to assist with immigration-related missions on the U.S.-Mexico border before, they have never been used as broadly or as far north.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Sometimes when I shop, especially if I am out at a large shopping center or mall, I will forget where I PARKED MY CAR. Now I make a habit of taking a picture of where I’m parked in relation to the store. That way, if I can’t remember, then I can pull it up on my phone to get the general location.

Sure beats standing in the middle of the parking lot scanning cars on a bright, sunny day! – A.J. Wilson, via email SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com MEDICATION ID Dear Heloise: I take two medications, one in the morning and one at night.

They both come in the same size and color bottle. Always, I would have to read the label to figure out which one to take.

So I took a permanent marker and simply printed a

big, fat “D” on the day bottle and an “N” on the night bottle. Now I just look for the letter on the bottle instead of trying to read the label.

On trips, I put my meds and supplements in a pillbox.

I took one pill out of each container and noticed that the morning one was round, like the sun, and the evening one was oval, sort of like the moon, and now I don’t ever mix them up. – T.G., via email Taking and identifying meds can be a little confusing at times. For your travel pillbox, try putting the morning pill on one side, mark that “D,” and the evening one in the other side, marked with an “N” for nighttime. – Heloise MEASURING MADE EASY Dear Heloise: Whenever I need to measure or weigh ingredients like mayonnaise or peanut butter, I use my food scale and a small, flat plate, not a measuring cup.

I place the plate on the scale first so its weight isn’t calculated into the weight of the ingredient. I scoop the amount needed onto the plate until I have the right

amount/weight, then scrape it off into the other ingredients.

It’s far easier to scrape these sticky or thick ingredients off a flat plate than out of a measuring cup. – Mary M. in San Antonio Readers, Mary weighs and measures foods on a scale. This is a superior hint, especially for diabetics or others who MUST watch food calorie and sugar input very carefully. Thanks, Mary! – Heloise TRAVEL SAFETY Dear Readers: Many of you have written about taking a night light when traveling. If you forget, turn on the bathroom light and crack the door. Place a hand towel over the top of the door to prevent it from shutting. – Heloise NO-SLIP HANGERS Dear Heloise: I use large rubber bands and tie some to the ends of a hanger. I can position them anywhere. For tank tops, I put multiple rubber bands on each arm so I can hang more than one top at a time. – Gracie B., via email (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

New coalition ‘Iowans for a Reliable CLUB NEWS Energy Future’ to highlight the Kiwanis critical energy issues facing Iowa DES MOINES – A group of Iowa-based leaders have joined together to form Iowans for a Reliable Energy Future, a new coalition that will help drive an ongoing discussion and debate around the energy issues that will impact families and businesses across the state in the years to come. “Iowans are seeking effective and meaningful solutions to ensure energy in our state continues to be reliable, safe and affordable,� said Kraig Paulsen, former Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives and volunteer co-chair of Iowans for a Reliable Energy Future. “Iowans for a Reliable Energy Future is designed to spark further discussion among industry leaders, policymakers and consumers on the types of innovative approaches necessary to deliver that energy future across all of the state’s diverse communities.�

Iowans for a Reliable Energy Future will be comprised of members with diverse backgrounds and experiences representing communities across the state. As part of the announcement, the organization is naming its initial group of statewide volunteer co-chairs. Additional members will be announced in the weeks and months to come.

“By investing in local communities, energy and utility companies here in Iowa are able to help create new jobs and drive economic growth,� said Bill Gerhard, president of the Iowa Building and Construction Trades Council and volunteer co-chair of Iowans for a Reliable Energy Future. “In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, these types of investments are more critical than ever. Iowans for a Reliable Energy Future will work to identify how we can continue to utilize the state’s premier network of businesses and our talented workforce to deliver meaningful economic benefits across Iowa.�

The volunteer co-chairs of Iowans for a Reliable Energy Future, who will make up the organization’s leadership team, are as follows: Kraig Paulsen: Paulsen served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 2003 until 2016 representing portions of Linn County. He held a variety of leadership positions including Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives and chair of the House Judiciary Committee.

Bill Gerhard: Gerhard is the president of the Building and Construction Trades Council in the state of Iowa.

Andrew Wenthe: Wenthe served in the Iowa House of

Representatives from 2007 until 2013 representing Fayette County. He was vice chair of the Appropriations Committee. Wenthe currently serves as the mayor of Fayette and is currently vice president for external affairs at Upper Iowa University in Fayette.

Bob Felderman: Felderman served as the United States deputy director and principal advisor to the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command director of plans, policy and strategy directorate.

Additionally, Felderman served as a brigadier general with the U.S. Army and Iowa National Guard.

Mary Kramer: Kramer served in the Iowa Senate from 1990 until 2003 representing West Des Moines and served as president from 1997 to 2003. In 2003, President George W. Bush nominated Kramer to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Barbados and Eastern Caribbean.

Brian Quirk: Quirk served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 2001 until 2012 representing all or portions of Chickasaw, Cerro Gordo, Floyd, Howard and Winneshiek counties. Today, he is the general manager of New Hampton Municipal Light Plant.

The weekly Kiwanis meeting was held 12:05 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14, at the Windrow meeting room with 17 members and one guest. President-elect Korina Loudon presided and Terry Freeman gave the prayer.

TAXPREP FROM A TO

EZ

Deciding which tax form to use

By NerdWallet When you are ready to file your tax return, you’ll have to pick from among three forms: the 1040, the 1040EZ or the 1040A. Anyone can decide to fill out Form 1040; the others have more-specific requirements. Here’s a quick breakdown: • Form 1040EZ: With this one, you can’t claim any credits or deductions, with the exception of the Earned Income Tax Credit.

It’s by far the briefest version of the 1040, and you can easily file your return for free with many online tax preparation services.

• Form 1040A: If you don’t plan to itemize your deductions, like for mortgage interest, then take a look at the 1040A. You might not be able to claim deductions, but you can claim tax credits, like for educational expenses.

• Form 1040: You can claim all the deductions and credits in the world, and anyone can use it, regardless of filing status. It’s just much longer than the other forms.

The longer the form, the more opportunities for tax breaks, both deductions and credits. Both are good, ultimately reducing how much the federal government takes from you. To see which deductions and credits are available with each 1040 tax form, check the table below.

When to use the 1040EZ tax form Don’t choose the 1040EZ just because it’s the simplest option. Sometimes, the EZ is all you need — but sometimes a little extra paperwork can mean substantial savings. The IRS website says you should use the 1040EZ if: • You are filing as single or married filing jointly.

• You have only wages, tips, salaries, unemployment compensation, Alaska Permanent Fund dividends, or taxable scholarships and fellowship grants, and your interest income was not over $1,500 last year.

• You (and your spouse if filing a joint return) were younger than 65 on Jan. 1 of the following tax year and not blind at the end of

the tax year.

• You do not claim any dependents.

• Your taxable income was less than $100,000.

• Advance payments of the Premium Tax Credit were not made for you, your spouse, or any individual you enrolled in coverage for whom no one else is claiming the personal exemption.

• All earned tips are included on your W-2 in boxes 5 and 7.

• You do not owe household employment taxes on wages paid to a household employee.

• You are not a debtor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case filed after Oct. 16, 2005.

• You will not claim any adjustments to income (deduction for IRA contributions, a student loan interest deduction, etc.).

• You will not claim any credits other than the Earned Income Tax Credit.

When to use the 1040A tax form The 1040A tax form allows filers to claim a number of deductions not

available on the 1040EZ. Here are the 1040A requirements from the IRS website: • Your taxable income is less than $100,000.

• You do not itemize deductions.

• You claim credits only for child and dependent care expenses, the earned income credit, the credit for the elderly or the disabled, education credits, the child tax credit, the additional child tax credit and the retirement savings contribution credit.

• Your only adjustments to income are the IRA deduction, the student loan interest deduction, the educator expenses deduction, and the tuition and fees deduction.

• Your income comes entirely from: wages, salaries, tips, taxable scholarships and fellowship grants, interest, ordinary dividends, capital gain distributions, pensions, annuities, IRAs, unemployment compensation, taxable Social Security or railroad retirement benefits, or Alaska Permanent Fund dividends.

• You did not have an alternative minimum tax adjustment on stock you acquired from the exercise of an incentive stock option.

When to use the 1040 tax form The IRS requires you to use the 1040 tax form if: • Your taxable income was $100,000 or more.

• You have certain types of income, such as unreported tips, certain nontaxable distributions, self-employment earnings or income received as a partner, a shareholder in an S corporation, or as a beneficiary of an estate or

trust.

• You itemize deductions or claim certain tax credits or adjustments to income, or • You owe household employment taxes.

nificantly from levels seen in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Last year, the arrest tally was the fifth-lowest since 1972. Deportations of people living in the U.S. illegally also increased under the Obama administration, though Republicans criticized Obama for setting prosecution guidelines that spared some groups from the threat of deportation, including those brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

was poorly supervised and provided insufficient training to officers, including on civil rights law. Obama phased out all the arrest power agreements in 2013 to instead focus on deporting recent border crossers and immigrants in the country illegally who posed a safety or national security threat.

Trump’s immigration strategy emerges as detentions at the nation’s southern border are down sig-

P

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It would serve as guidance to implement the wide-ranging executive order on immigration and border security that President Donald Trump signed Jan. 25. Such memos are routinely issued to supplement executive orders.

Also dated Jan. 25, the draft memo says participating troops would be authorized “to perform the functions of an immigration officer in relation to the investigation, apprehension and detention of aliens in the United States.” It describes how the troops would be activated under a revived state-federal partnership program, and states that personnel would be authorized to conduct searches and identify and arrest any unauthorized immigrants.

Requests to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security for comment and a status report on the proposal were not answered.

The draft document has circulated among DHS staff over the last two weeks. As recently as Friday, staffers in several different offices reported discussions were underway.

If implemented, the impact could be significant.

Nearly one-half of the 11.1 million people residing in the U.S. without authorization live in the 11 states, according to Pew Research Center estimates based on 2014 Census data.

Use of National Guard troops would greatly increase the number of immigrants targeted in one of Trump’s executive orders last month, which expanded the definition of who could be considered a Trump criminal and therefore a potential target for deportation.

That order also allows immigration agents to prioritize removing anyone who has “committed acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense.”

Under current rules, even if the proposal is implemented, there would not be immediate mass deportations. Those with existing deportation orders could be sent back to their countries of origin without additional court proceedings. But deportation orders generally would be needed for most other unauthorized immigrants.

The troops would not be nationalized, remaining under state control.

Spokespeople for the governors of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Oregon and New Mexico said they were unaware of the proposal, and either declined to comment or said it was premature to discuss

whether they would participate. The other three states did not immediately respond to the AP. The proposal would extend the federal-local partnership program that President Barack Obama’s administration began scaling back in 2012 to address complaints that it promoted racial profiling.

The 287(g) program, which Trump included in his immigration executive order, gives local police, sheriff’s deputies and state troopers the authority to assist in the detection of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally as a regular part of their law enforcement duties on the streets and in jails.

The draft memo also mentions other items included in Trump’s executive order, including the hiring of an additional 5,000 border agents, which needs financing from Congress, and his campaign promise to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

The signed order contained no mention of the possible use of state National Guard troops.

According to the draft memo, the militarization effort would be proactive, specifically empowering Guard troops to solely carry out immigration enforcement, not as an add-on the way local law enforcement is used in the program.

Allowing Guard troops to operate inside non-border states also would go far beyond past deployments.

In addition to responding to natural or man-made disasters or for military protection of the population or critical infrastructure, state Guard forces have been used to assist with immigration-related tasks on the U.S.-Mexico border, including the construction of fences.

In the mid-2000s, President George W. Bush twice deployed G u a r d troops on the border to focus on nonlaw enforcement duties to Bush help augment the Border Patrol as it bolstered its ranks. And in 2010, then-Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced a border security plan that included Guard reconnaissance, aerial patrolling and military exercises.

In July 2014, then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry ordered 1,000 National Guard troops to the border when the surge of migrant children fleeing violence in Central America overwhelmed U.S. officials responsible for their care.

The Guard troops’ stated role on the border at the time was to provide extra sets of eyes but not make arrests.

Bush initiated the federal 287(g) program — named for a section of a 1996 immigration law — to allow specially trained local law enforcement officials to participate in immigration enforcement on the streets

POSTSEASON BOYS BASKETBALL

Feels like the first time

East Union swoops in, earns rare win over Nodaway Valley ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — The last time the East Union boys basketball team defeated Nodaway Valley, not a single member of either team had been born.

How far back exactly that goes could not be traced on short notice, but multiple people connected to Nodaway Valley and East Union confirmed as much Thursday.

The Wolverines’ two wins over the Eagles this season had come by a total of four points.

So when Beau Weinheimer’s 70foot heave nicked the bottom of the net, the Eagle fans and players in attendance briefly heaved a sigh

of relief before they were sent into jubilation, celebrating a 56-55 win Thursday in Class 1A District 13 play.

Fouled on a drive with 2.6 seconds remaining, East Union’s Mason Gossman hit a free throw and missed the second to give East Union the 56-55 lead.

That was followed by Weinheimer’s near miracle.

“Frankly when Weinheimer let go of that last one there was a pit in my stomach,” East Union coach Matt Brown said.

East Union’s win sets up a date with Grand View Christian in Greenfield on Tuesday, at 8 p.m.

Grand View Christian is there courtesy of a 92-44 win over Iowa Christian Academy.

East Union’s win Thursday over Nodaway Valley, a first for Brown and his Eagle players, was incredibly satisfying.

“Our coach wanted it. Our fans wanted it. It’s just a big W,” East Union’s Casey Walter said.

East Union’s players and fans ecstatically react to the Eagles’ win over the Wolverines Thursday in the Class 1A Region 13 tournament opener in Greenfield. Nodaway Valley walks off the court in shock.

in nearly all aspects of the game, Brown saw no reason to give a rahrah speech.

“I’ve had this senior class since the sixth grade,” Brown said. “I told them that frankly they’ve heard everything I’ve had to say more than

once. At this stage, they’ve just got to go out and get it, and they did.”

Spencer Lamb and Dallas Kreager led the Wolverine offensive attack with a combined 26 points in EU | 3S

PANTHERS STATE WRESTLING

Six for show

All six Creston/O-M wrestlers alive after day one at state ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Creston/Orient-Macksburg started day one of Class 2A action at the state wrestling tournament with six entered in the field.

When the sun rises today for day two, there will still be six Panthers in the tournament.

All six Panther wrestlers remain alive after first round and first-round consolation action at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Mitchel Swank (145), Chase Shiltz (182), Jackson Mikkelsen (195) and Kadon Hulett (220) all won their opening round matches.

Trevor Marlin (138) and Cody Tanner (285) stayed alive with consolation round wins.

Creston/O-M sits in fourth in the team standings with 19.5 points. Solon leads with 27 points. Ballard is second with 22 points. New Hampton, which won the Class 2A state dual team tournament Wednesday, is third with 20 points.

“When you go through the bracket, everything went to form,” said Creston/O-M coach Darrell Frain. “Hopefully we can say the same thing tomorrow night. If we do that, I’ll be real happy.”

Creston/O-M senior Jackson Mikkelsen takes wins any way they can come.

Typically he doesn’t win them by pin, but rather by a decision or a major decision.

Thursday, he did something that’s been rare in his senior season.

Mikkelsen finished off his first-round match early, pinning Crestwood’s Trevor Tende in 3:49 at 195 pounds.

“Jackson getting bonus points is big,” Frain said.

“It doesn’t matter the level the kid, a big win is a major decision. Even if he won by three points, he thinks it’s a big win.”

Mikkelsen was left smiling after a rare pin.

“I don’t usually pin a lot of people,” Mikkelsen said.

“That felt pretty good opening state that way.”

Mikkelsen didn’t show many nerves in his first state experience.

They were calmed Wednesday at the state duals, in warming up.

“I knew coming in I had a pretty good shot of winning it,” Mikkelsen said. “I prepared good all day for it. I COM | 4S

DES MOINES — An injury as a sophomore left Mount Ayr senior Cal Daughton donning a protective mask on the mat.

While it can be challenging to wear the apparatus at times, it hasn’t affected how he’s been able to dominate people on the mat in his senior season.

The masked avenger made quick work of Rockford’s Dakota Vance, winning by pin in 53 seconds to advance to the quarterfinals of the Class 1A 170-pound bracket Thursday afternoon at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Daughton has used his speed and power all season to dominate opponents.

Thursday followed that

trend.

“I just went out there and double-legged him, half him, finished him,” Daughton said.

Winning in his state debut meant plenty for him.

“It feels great for the first time at state going out there,” Daughton said.

He didn’t show any nerves.

“Coaches just told me its another tournament, come out there, do my best like what I’ve been doing for the last three months,” Daughton said. “It feels good. I wanted to get off to a good start.”

Daughton cut right through Vance.

“He looked smooth,” said Mount Ayr assistant coach Kurt Wallace. “It was very nice for him in his first time down here.”

Daughton dominated the pace from the state.

We told him he has good stuff, make it work for you.

That’s what he did.”

Southwest Valley’s Teagan Lundquist found a move that worked and worked often against West Lyon’s Justin Severson during their first-round consolation match at 126 pounds.

Lundquist overpowered Severson, leading to a 15-0 technical fall win to stay alive.

Lundquist locked in an arm bar repeatedly. While Lundquist didn’t get the pin, he kept wracking up near fall points.

“I guess a lot of armbars.

He couldn’t defend them,” Lundquist said. “I couldn’t get him pinned, but I’ll take three points anyway. It makes me feel pretty good

knowing I can control him.”

Lundquist has power on top. He displayed it against Severson.

“I knew he could wrestle with any kid out there,” said Southwest Valley coach Jason Wetzel. “This match shows how dominant Teagan can be on top. He was able to get turns. That’s what he needed.”

Bryce Newton saw his tournament come to an end with a pair of losses.

Newton reached his season’s goal by making state.

“I had two phenomenal matches,” Newton said. “I love being on the mat.”

Newton reached state for the first time as a senior.

For him it was a major accomplishment in a season

MURRAY — It was just a matter of patience for the heavily-favored Murray Mustangs boys basketball team Thursday night.

Southeast Warren, just 4-18 for the season, stayed in contention throughout a first quarter marred by missed layups and turnovers in the Class 1A District quarterfinal game in the Jerry Brown Gymnasium.

Murray, 20-2, held just a 12-7 advantage after eight minutes.

Then the Mustangs opened the floodgates with a 28-point barrage to take a 40-19 halftime lead before cruising to an 85-52 victory.

“We told the kids we’re getting the shots we want

and they’ll start dropping,” Murray coach Darin Wookey said. “In the second quarter we pressured the ball, pushed it up the floor better and got the tempo up like we planned on.”

One thing Wookey and the Mustangs didn’t plan on was the perimeter marksmanship of the Warhawks.

Four different Southeast Warren players made a total of nine 3-pointers. Jeff Wadle and Kole Manser each scored 13 points for the Warhawks.

“They really shot the ball better than we anticipated,” Wookey said. “They were 3-for-27 on threes the other night when I watched them, and tonight they came out and made nine threes. I thought we were a little flat-footed at times defensively.”

the first half.

The Wolverines benefitted from the solid play of Tyler Vandewater and Ryan Baudler in the second half, but the East Union defense did enough to keep the Nodaway Valley offense in check.

That included the play of defensive standout Walter and Gossman, the latter of whom picked up his fourth foul in the third quarter.

“I knew I had to be careful on defense, keep my hands up and that’s what I did,” Gossman said. “I knew the team was counting on me to keep it going.”

Walter, who firmly stated that the intensity of the practices leading up to this game helped make the difference, basked in the praise of Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister.

“I’ve got compliments from Burmeister saying I was one of the better defenders so I gotta live up to that,” Walter said.

Kyle Campbell was strong on the boards and Trevor Jones made the types of hustle plays that don’t show up in the stat sheets. The experience of East Union shined through.

Kreager scored the last seven points of the third quarter for the Wolverines.

After Kreager’s run, Campbell collected a steal and converted it into a layup to make the score 46-36 and then hit a 3-pointer in the waning moments of the third to run the score to 46-39 heading to the fourth.

Walter, Gossman and Nixon began to will the Eagles back into it.

Five straight points for Nixon made the score 49-48 in favor of the Wolverines.

Lamb responded to Nixon’s last basket with a driv-

with 20 points and 12 rebounds. His partner in the post, senior Thane Simmons, hauled in 11 rebounds while scoring eight points.

Senior guard Dustin Teas, averaging 7.1 points for the season, had 19 points in the victory. Senior guard Kenny Boles had another good overall performance with 17 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. Jack Jones added 10 points.

Mormon Trail opened the district doubleheader with a 53-46 victory over Moravia.

The Saints, 13-6, have lost twice to Murray this season.

“We beat Mormon Trail by 15 there and 60-20 here at the end but Parker Hitt (15.8 scoring average) did not play

ing deuce of his own.

In the following moments, two missed shots ended in the hands of Jones for a followup to make it just a onepoint lead for Nodaway Valley once again.

The two teams traded several more baskets before a missed shot and a foul by Lamb sent Mason Gossman to the free throw line, where he made both free throws to tie the game with 55 seconds remaining.

Out of the timeout, Nodaway Valley’s Spencer Thomspon turned the ball over with 33 seconds left, and East Union called a timeout with 27 seconds on the clock.

After passing the ball around and attempting to isolate Gossman, the senior found his way to the paint and earned the free throws that proved to be the difference.

Seniors Kreager, Baudler and Weinheimer played their last game for the Wolverines.

“I’ve been waiting for this senior year for a long time,” Kreager said. “Beau (Weinheimer) and I, we’ve played together since we were in middle school and it was just a great time.”

Kreager shared plenty of heart-felt hugs and shed more than a few tears after.

“You work hard for two of three years and you finally get to start. It’s your time.

You take it for what it is.”

“When I was a freshman, I didn’t make it anywhere. I’d never made it to districts before this year. Getting here and seeing my progression of my skills where I’m at is great.”

East Union freshman Sherman Hayes dropped both of his matches at 126 pounds to bow out of the tournament.

Hayes was in there battling in both matches, but came up short.

“He wrestled tough,” said East Union coach Justin Staver. “It was a tough day.

It was heartbreaking.”

Staver liked Hayes’ approach to the tournament.

“He really did well in the environment,” Staver said.

“He didn’t let the pressure get to him. He got after it.

He was wrestling well.”

Hayes had moments where it looked like he could have won both matches, but end up on the wrong side of both.

“I thought he could’ve won both of those,” Staver said. “Those kids got the best of him today. Next week, maybe we get on top of this.”

Still, as a freshman, Hayes’ future is bright.

“As a freshman, he gets three more chances at this, three more chances to keep getting better,” Staver said.

“He’ll be back.”

knew coming down here before the match that I needed to take a big breath. Coming out and seeing how many people were around was good.”

Chase Shiltz’s quest for a perfect season moved right along in Shiltz-like fashion.

The Panther senior overpowered Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont’s Austin Angle on his way to a pin in 59 seconds.

“He was pretty strong,” Shiltz said. “A lot of kids I wrestle are stronger than me.”

Shiltz kept focused in his quest for a third straight state title.

“Getting that first one is always big,” Shiltz said. “Just go out there and take care of business.”

As focused as he was, he still relished the start of his final state tournament run.

“I’m just taking everything in, soaking it in. It’s my last time, last go-around,” Shiltz said. “I realize how much of an accomplishment it is.”

Few wrestlers have been able to match the size and length Kadon Hulett has.

MOC-Floyd Valley’s Tim Te Grotenhuis was nearly equal to Hulett’s stature.

Hulett showed he was head and shoulders above his Northwest Iowa foe, winning by technical fall 19-4 in 5:35.

“You see that kid? He was huge,” Frain said. “It was good for him.”

Mitchel Swank survived a scary few final seconds of his opening-round match at 145 pounds.

West Delaware’s Mitchel Mangold tried to throw Swank in the final four seconds. While he was given credit for the takedown, time expired as Swank held on for a 9-6 win.

“That was something different,” Swank said. “I didn’t know what to think.

There was four seconds left — either flee or go after him.

I guess he set up that throw and I walked into it.”

Swank nearly ended the match in the first 30 seconds, scoring a quick takedown and three near fall points.

“I knew going in do to my stuff, my style,” Swank said.

For Swank, the win was redemption after he could not complete a 5-1 lead in a firstround loss against PCM’s Xavier Miller. Swank led 5-1, but could not hold it in losing 9-7 in sudden victory.

“I knew I didn’t want that to happen again,” Swank said. “That was pretty disappointing.”

The win brought a sense of joy for Swank and his family in what’s been a very trying time for his family.

Swank was at the funeral of his great aunt and uncle,

the Haley’s of Benton, who were killed in a house fire last Friday.

It left him visibly drained, and it showed in the match.

Still, Swank won.

“He was tired,” Frain said.

“The first thing I told him was I could care less how he got it. He’s through.”

Swank’s teammates have been and continue to be a source of strength and comfort.

“Now he’s back with his teammates. Everything can take care of itself,” Frain said.

Trevor Marlin had been to state twice previously.

He’d left both times in search of a victory.

The Panthers senior took the long road Thursday, but a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders.

Marlin held on for a 7-2 win over East Buchanan’s Dawson Riemenschneider in the first-round consolation match.

“It took long enough,” Marlin said. “It feels good to finally get one.”

Cody Tanner’s strength showed at the start of the second period in his first round consolation match against Saydel’s Hunter Jesse.

The Panthers senior overpowered Jesse, pulling Jesse’s shoulders down to the mat to complete the fall in 2:19 to advance.

Tanner took his share of lumps behind some more talented Panther heavyweights as a freshman and a sophomore.

He took care of business in his opportunity in the spotlight.

Tanner now stands one win away from earning a state tournament medal.

Cody Tanner kept his season alive with a first-round consolation pin of Saydel’s Hunter Jesse at 285 pounds.

Tanner is making the most of his time in the spotlight after a couple years on JV. “We had pretty good heavyweights so he got to be the JV kid. He was OK with that,” Frain said. “Last year we had five heavyweights.

He fought all his way through and was the guy.”

Tanner wrenched Jesse down to the mat 18 seconds into the second period to complete the fall.

“Strength-wise we know he can take on anybody,” Frain said. “He wrestled hard.”

Bedford/Lenox senior Sam McMillin had not experienced the atmosphere
