Divided Iowa Council to hold public Supreme Court meeting regarding parking upholds warrant, despite mistakes

CITY COUNCIL

Pictured is a section of Myrtle Street in Creston, where parking has become a concern for Creston City Council. The council has proposed a pilot program for a new parking ordinance that would limit parking to one side of the street for one year in a trial run.

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Creston City Council will hold a public meeting regarding a potential pilot program for a new parking ordinance immediately after the May 2 council meeting.

The meeting is expected to start around 6:30 p.m.

May 2 in the council chambers in the restored Creston Depot. If the council chambers become too full, the meeting will be moved to the congregate mealsite.

“We had a meeting, a few of us, and we have come up with a section of town we want to do a pilot program for parking on one Wintermute side of

the street for a 12-month period to see how it works,” said Steve Wintermute, atlarge councilman, during Tuesday’s regular city council meeting.

The proposed area for the pilot program includes Myrtle Street, South Lincoln Street and Peterson Street, and possibly the section of Russell Street that connects all three of those streets along the south border.

The public meeting is scheduled to answer any questions the public might have about the proposed program.

“It’s going to affect those people, so if they would like to have some kind of a public sit-down, that’s fine,” Wintermute said.

If the pilot program is put into place, parking would only be allowed on the east side of Myrtle, South Lincoln and Peterson streets.

“For lack of a better term,

it’s the squeaky wheels,” said Terry Freeman, atlarge councilman. “A bulk majority of the concerns come from that area. Those streets, it’s an older section of town. So, if you drive through the neighborhoods, the houses are really tight. There’s a lot of houses within that block. You look at other parts of town, the houses are spread out a bit. That’s the primary reason why we’re going to start over there.”

Peterson Street already has no parking signs located on the west side of the street that runs alongside the former Lincoln School building, as children are dropped off and picked up there on a bus route.

So, to make it easy, the council subcommittee looking at the parking issue decided to implement no parking on the west side of all three streets.

However, once the snow

removal ordinance goes into effect, parking guidelines will follow the snow removal ordinance.

“That no parking (on the west side of the street) is in effect year round, except during the snow removal season, when that ordinance is in effect,” Freeman said. “You would still go to alternating parking at that point. It’s kind of like the CITY | 2A

DES MOINES (AP) — A divided Iowa Supreme Court on Friday upheld a warrant to search a suspected drug dealer’s residence, even though a deputy and a judge didn’t properly fill out the authorizing paperwork.

The 4-3 ruling underlined divisions among the justices on whether officers and judges must be held to exacting standards or if seemingly minor bureaucratic oversights can be excused.

At issue was a warrant application that Scott County deputy Dan Furlong prepared in 2015 to search a Davenport home where Maurice Angel lived.

Furlong, who had tracked

Angel’s movements for weeks, didn’t sign the application spelling out why he believed there was probable cause. But he swore to the information under oath before Judge Henry Latham, who signed the warrant. The judge failed to circle words in two spots indicating he found probable cause, as required.

Days later, officers searching the property found cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia, along with two young children. Prosecutors filed drug charges against Angel and a woman who lived there, who was COURT | 2A

VP Pence aims to reassure Australia after tense Trump call SYDNEY (AP) — More than two months after President Donald Trump got into a spat with the leader of Australia, Vice President Mike Pence will be working to smooth over any lingering hard feelings.

Pence will meet with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Saturday as part of his 1 0 - d a y , Pence

four-country trip to Asia.

His agenda includes reassuring Turnbull about the state of the unusually strained U.S.-Australia alliance and laying out the new administration’s priorities for the Pacific Rim. “Partly, you could call it a diplomatic clean-up mission,” said Michael Auslin of the American Enterprise Institute, an analyst on Asian security issues.

also charged with child endangerment.

District Judge Marlita Greve later granted their motion to throw out the evidence found during the search, saying the warrant didn’t comply with the law because it lacked a signature. She said Latham’s failure to circle the two words supported her decision.

Writing for the majori-

small hometown of Lenox.

His mother, Pearl, birthed him at their family home in Lenox and Tom would spend the next 57 years living and working to better his community. At age 16, he met the love of his life, Wanda Lee (Toni) Hauser. They married young and had their two children, Shellie and Dave, in their youth, which allowed Tom to spend his entire adult life building his business with Toni at his side raising their family, working outside jobs and assisting in the business.

Tom had no high school or college degree, but he was no stranger to success.

A natural athlete, he was scouted by a pro-baseball recruiter as a high school kid. He never lost his love for baseball and was a big fan and supporter of the Lenox Tigers and Kansas City Royals. Until his health prohibited it, he could also be found on the golf course with buddies playing the sport he loved the most.

His professional life was dedicated to the business he helped build in Lenox.

He started at Sheridan Egg as a youth sweeping floors after school. He managed the company as a young adult, and in 1983, purchased the business from Jerry Sheridan. By 1991, the company’s growth and innovation warranted a merger with Papetti’s from New Jersey, and a new facility was built in Lenox.

At the time of its construction, it was the largest egg

processing facility in the country and Tom’s ingenuity, tenacity and hard work earned him a 1991 State of Iowa “Entrepreneur of the Year” finalist award. In 1997, Tom and Toni sold the company to Michael Foods and moved to Kansas City, Missouri. By 2011, Tom was able to retire fulltime to California and enjoy more time with family and friends, and focus on his golf game.

Tom adored Toni and her well-being was his primary focus until his last day. His grandchildren brought him great joy and he was extremely proud of all of them.

Tom is preceded in death by his parents, Martin and Pearl Rechsteiner; sister Loretta Hatton and numerous aunts and uncles.

He is survived by his wife Toni; daughter Shellie Dunlap (husband Dan); son David Rechsteiner; grandchildren, David Dunlap (wife Sara), Brian Dunlap (wife Melissa), Drew Dunlap, Ashlie Dunlap (fiancé Steve Nanino), Kaylin Buck (husband Justin), Abbie Rechsteiner and Austin Rechsteiner; three great-granddaughters, Madison, Kyrin and Delilah Pearl; his sister Helen Rainforth (husband Larry); nephews, Vince Rainforth (wife Melissa), Lance Rainforth, Tom Hatton and Todd Hatton (wife Ronda); lifelong best friend David Hale (wife Becky); along with many friends and golf buddies.

William L. Harpin, son of Noah Lloyd Harpin and Mahaley Arminda (Hall) Harpin, was born June 2, 1925, in Creston. William was educated in Creston and graduated from Creston High School.

On Aug. 3, 1947, Bill married Eileen Harpin at United Methodist Church in Creston. He was a lifelong resident of the Creston area where he was a farmer, member of the railroad bridge gang, clerk at a liquor store and Puralator paper cutter.

He most recently worked in maintenance and housekeeping at Greater Regional Hospital in Creston.

Bill was a member of First Christian Church Disciples of Christ and Odd Fellows as a 50-year member. He also served on Grove Chapel Cemetery Board.

William is survived by his wife Eileen; sons, Michael Harpin of Warner, Oklahoma, David (Mari) Harpin of Austin, Texas, and Noah (Laura) Harpin of Urbandale; daughters, Bonita (James) Shaha of Beeville, Texas, and SuEllen Hartman (James Ramsey) of Belton, Missouri; 10 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren and sisters, Betty Bernard of Victoria, Texas, and Minnie Belle Martin of Mesa, Arizona.

William was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Frank, Lawrence, Jerry, Ray and Earl and sisters, Helen and Margaret.

ty Friday, Justice Edward Mansfield said Furlong’s oversight was inadvertent and that the application was legal because the law doesn’t require the applicant’s written “oath or affirmation.” He said he was in no doubt that Latham found probable cause to issue the warrant.

Dissenting Justice Brent Appel said he believed the warrant was invalid because the law requires the applicant’s written signature and the issuing judge must make clear the finding of probable cause.

Praising Greve’s ruling, Appel said the process of obtaining a search warrant to authorize police to raid a home is “not a bureaucratic bother in which a lackadaisical, close-enough attitude toward legal requirements is good enough.” He said judicial review of the warrant process must be “highly detailed and demanding,” given the constitutional rights at stake.

“This court, however, falls well short of the mark by endorsing a sloppy, poorly executed search warrant process,” he wrote.

areas uptown where there’s no parking on one side, but once snow removal comes into play, you still alternate within those hours.”

Council members began looking into the idea of a parking ordinance after receiving complaints from residents and emergency responders.

On a 26-feet-wide road, when cars park directly across from each other, it becomes difficult for emergency vehicles to get through on those roads.

“We’re not trying to create pain to any resident.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Cruising for the best trip

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, April 22, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Your sixth sense is highly developed today, which is why you know what others are thinking. You also might want to go off by yourself today to contemplate your navel.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s easy to idealize a friend today. Or perhaps you admire a member of a group.

It’s OK to admire people, but keep your feet on the ground.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Today you might admire a boss. You might put him or her on a pedestal. The question to ask yourself is: “Is my admiration based on reality?”

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to see beautiful places. Visit museums, art galleries, beautiful parks and architectural buildings. Enjoy!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might feel sympathetic to others today, especially if you are dealing with inheritances and shared property. This is good; but don’t give away the farm.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)Relationships with partners and close friends might confuse you today. You might idealize someone or you might feel deceived by this person.

It’s as if your lens is smudged and you can’t see.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If you can help a co-worker today, you will. That’s because you feel sympathetic to others.

It’s possible that someone will want to help you. This works both ways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You are in touch with your creative ideas today, which is why you should respect them and perhaps write them down.

Your imagination is heightened.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) When talking to a family member today, you will feel sympathetic to whatever is happening in his or her life.

You will want to help this person, if you can. This is a good thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today your imagination is strong. This is why you might spend time daydreaming or lost in a fantasy world. (We all need days like this.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)If shopping today, you might be tempted to buy something that is elegant, luxurious and way too expensive.

Try to keep it realistic.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)It’s easy to feel warm and kind toward others today because you feel sympathetic, especially to anyone who has less than you or is in a difficult situation. That’s admirable.

YOU BORN TODAY You are an unusual combination of hard-working and focused with a unique, free spirit. Something you’ve been involved with for nine years

will end this year in order to make room for something new to enter your world. Although this is a year of service to others, it also is a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Are you thinking about going on a CRUISE? Here are some Heloise hints for smooth sailing: * Book early, about three to six months ahead. Not only will you get the best choice of cabins, but many cruise lines offer discounts to those who book early, so don’t be shy about asking for discounts. * Research the type of cruises available. Some have a party-all-the-time schedule, while others are designed for those who’d rather relax on deck with a good book. * Book the best cabin you can afford. Believe it or not, you’ll be there more than you had expected. * The last night of the cruise is the time to tip those who were helpful to you.

While it’s entirely up to you whether you tip and how much, it’s always nice to say “thank you” with a monetary gift. – Heloise FRIDAY FUN FACTS Dear Readers: * A jellyfish is 95 percent water. * It is the male sea horses who give birth to live young. * Many years ago, sailors

wore gold earrings to be sure they were given a decent burial. The earrings were used as payment for the coffin and service. – Heloise REMOVING OLD WALLPAPER Dear Heloise: I had a terrible time trying to remove old wallpaper, until I came across this method: I put really hot water in a spray bottle with about half a cup of fabric softener, then shake well to mix the two ingredients. Spray the wallpaper generously, wait about 20 minutes, then peel off the wallpaper. It comes off very easily with this method. – A. and L., Great Falls, Mont.

WICKER FURNITURE CARE Dear Heloise: My dad always washed our white wicker furniture on the patio using a bucket of warm water and about half a cup of table salt. This helped keep it from turning yellow. He would occasionally wipe down the wicker with furniture polish that contained natural oil.

Our wicker lasted for several years with this type of care. – Julia B., Conover, N.C.

SUDOKU

TOWEL TIPS Dear Heloise: Here are a couple of hints to keep towels from fading too quickly in the wash: The first time you wash new towels, add 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of baking soda to the water. It’s best to dry the towels on medium heat; high heat can damage fabrics. – Alice B., Stone Mountain, Ga. Alice, that’s a good suggestion. My readers know by now that baking soda has so many uses, and if you’d like to learn more about how beneficial it is, just go to my website, www.Heloise. com, to order a baking-soda pamphlet, or send a long, stamped (70 cents), self-addressed envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Did you know that baking soda was used by the ancient Egyptians? Over 3,000 years ago, Egyptians used natron, which is primarily sodium carbonate, as a soap substance to clean and in mummification. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

roadmap for how the two countries can work together during Trump’s presidency.

“It’s about re-establishing relations.”

The affection the longtime allies usually share for each other is rooted in decades of cooperation on defense, intelligence and trade. Australia has fought alongside the U.S. in every major conflict since World War I, and is one of the largest contributors to the U.S.-led military campaign in Iraq and Syria. The country is also part of the “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing program with the U.S., along with Canada, Britain and New Zealand.

But Australia was unhappy with Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact. Then, Trump and Turnbull had a contentious phone call in January over a refugee resettlement deal struck by the previous Obama administration.

Under the agreement, the U.S. would take up to 1,250 refugees that Australia houses in detention camps on the Pacific island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

Trump, who campaigned on tough-on-immigration policies, was enraged by the agreement, prompting a tense phone call with Turnbull and an angry tweet in which the president dubbed the deal “dumb.”

White House spokesman Sean Spicer’s subsequent mispronunciation in press briefings of Turnbull’s name as “Trumbull” did not help matters.

Senior administration officials traveling with Pence told reporters that they did not expect the refugees issue to be raised in the meeting, describing it as “ancient history.”

The fallout has left relations between the U.S. and Australia at their lowest point since the Vietnam War, when Australia’s then-Prime Minister Gough Whitlam criticized a series of bombings authorized by then-President Richard Nixon.

Dougal Robinson, a research fellow with the United States Studies Centre in Sydney, said the timing of Pence’s visit to Australia — a mere three months into Trump’s presidency — is significant. Robinson noted that it took Obama three years to visit Australia after he was elected, while former Vice President Joe Biden waited seven years before traveling Down Under.

“In the aftermath of the Trump-Turnbull phone call, and no record of any conversation between the president and the prime minister since that phone call, the vice president is clearly coming to try to reassure Australia’s political leaders about U.S. commitment to the alliance with Australia,” Robinson said.

Trump’s election has also prompted some soul-searching for Australians over where their loyalty should lie between the U.S. — Australia’s most important security partner — and China, its most important trading partner. Though Turnbull has repeatedly rejected calls for Australia to choose between the superpowers, some critics of Trump have urged Australia to align itself more closely with Beijing.

Earlier this month, Gareth Evans, Australia’s foreign minister from 1988 to 1996, said Australia should back away from its alliance with America and instead recognize China as a global leader, calling Trump “the most ill-informed, underprepared, ethically challenged and psychologically ill-equipped president in the United States’ history.”

Though Turnbull may balk at publicly choosing between China and the U.S., Australia and China have been deepening their ties. In February, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop in the nation’s capital, Canberra, where the two announced they would cooperate more on trade, tourism, regional infrastructure, innovation and energy.

The strengthening commercial relationship between China and Australia has raised eyebrows in the U.S. Australia’s decision to allow a Chinese company to secure a 99-year lease over the strategically important Port of Darwin in northern Australia attracted particular concern. The port is near a critical military base used as a training hub for U.S. Marines, who are stationed there as part of America’s military pivot to Asia.

The South China Sea, where China’s territorial claims, land reclamation and construction have drawn criticism from its neighbors and the U.S., is also likely to factor in talks between Pence and Turnbull. Given Australia’s loyalty to both the U.S. and China, the country has tried to avoid taking sides in the disputes. Though Australia has long supported America’s so-called freedom of navigation exercises close to China’s artificial islands in the region, it has not conducted any of its own.

In March, Bishop urged Southeast Asian nations and China to put in place a legally binding code of conduct on behavior in the South China Sea. Pence, addressing sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in Japan, said the administration would “protect the freedom of navigation and overflight and other lawful uses of the sea, in the South China Sea and elsewhere.”

Pence will meet with Bishop during his trip to Australia. He is also scheduled to meet with Governor-General Peter Cosgrove and local business leaders, before touring Sydney’s iconic Opera House and visiting the city’s seaside zoo.

Film ‘Paper Tigers’ showing Tuesday A showing of the documentary film “Paper Tigers” is scheduled 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday, April 25, in room 220 at Southwestern Community College in Creston.

A light meal is planned and discussion will follow this free event.

“Paper Tigers” chronicles a year in the life of Lincoln High School in the community of Walla Walla, Washington. The kids who come to Lincoln have a history of truancy, behavioral problems and substance abuse.

After Lincoln’s principal is exposed to research about the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences, he decides to radically change the school’s approach to discipline.

With the aid of diary

camera footage, the film follows six students. From getting into fights, grappling with traumatic events in their lives and on the cusp of dropping out, they find healing support and academic promise, breaking the cycles of poverty, violence and disease that affect families.

The event is free, but registration is required. To register or for more information contact Brenda Comer, First Five coordinator, at 641-202-7114.

This event is sponsored

by MATURA Action Corporation’s First Five program, Southwestern Community College, Parents as Teachers, Decat and Quad Counties 4 Kids Early Childhood area.

New savings accounts allow persons with disabilities to save for qualified disability expenses portation, assistive technology and education, among others.

Together with 14 other states, Iowa is a member of the National ABLE Alliance. This multistate consortium allows IAble to offer low costs and high-quality investment options to eligible individuals in Iowa and across the nation.

IAble, similar to College Savings Iowa, offers savers a variety of investment options to best meet their goals and comfort with risk. The earnings on investments are federally tax-deferred and tax-free, if used for qualified disability expenses, although earnings on non-qualified withdrawals may be subject to federal income tax and a 10 percent federal penalty tax, as well as applicable state and local income taxes.

Iowa taxpayers may also deduct up to $3,239 in contributions from their adjusted gross income for 2017, but if withdrawals are not qualified, the deductions must be added back to Iowa taxable income. Adjusted annually for inflation.

To open an IAble account for as little as $25, visit IAble.gov. Account owners can access their accounts online at any time, and even make withdrawals from the website. For more information about IAble, call 888609-8910 or visit IAble.gov.

DES MOINES – State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald announced the launch of IAble, Iowa’s tax-advantaged savings plan for persons with disabilities and their families. Signed into Iowa law in 2015, IAble allows families the opportunity to plan for the future well-being of a loved one with a disability without the risk of losing their eligibility for certain assistance programs, like SSI and Medicaid.

“I have worked hard over the years to help Iowa families save for college through College Savings Iowa. Our new IAble program is a tax-advantaged plan designed to help persons with disabilities and their families save to achieve a better life experience,” Fitzgerald said.

“My office is pleased to announce that Iowa families can now take advantage of this savings tool to plan for today’s expenses or tomorrow’s needs.”

The federal Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE) of 2014 authorized tax-advantaged investment accounts similar to college savings programs such as College Savings Iowa. With ABLE accounts, people with disabilities and their families may save up to $14,000 annually for qualified disability expenses, including, but not limited to, housing, trans-

Historical Resource Development and Country School grant applications due April 28 DES MOINES – From the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Davenport to the Goldenrod Schoolhouse in Page County, preservationists are working every day to save the history of Iowa.

Their work is supported by the Historical Resource Development Program (HRDP) for the preservation, conservation and interpretation of history. The program encourages individuals and organizations to educate the public about historical resources, including historic buildings, museum collections and documentary materials such as diaries, letters, photographs and newspapers.

The program began in 1990 and has awarded more than $16 million to 1,200 projects across the state to conserve museum collections, microfilm newspapers, preserve photographs, install exhibits, survey historic neighborhoods, nominate buildings and districts to the National Register of Historic Places and more.

Similarly, the County Schools Grant Program provides grants for the preservation and maintenance of Iowa’s one- and two-room country schools. The funds

also may be used for interpreting the history of country schools or for educational activities taking place in a country school.

The Country School grants were created in 1999 and have awarded nearly $225,000 in funding for more than 50 projects across the state.

The next round of applications for both HRDP and Country Schools are due April 28. Applications must be submitted online at www.iowahistory.slideroom. com.

HRDP and Country School grants are funded by the Resource Enhancement and Protection Act, passed by the Iowa General Assembly in 1989. Local governments, nonprofit corporations, individuals, businesses and American Indian tribes are eligible to submit applications. Projects funded in this grant cycle will begin July 1, and must be completed

by Nov. 30, 2019.

Both grant programs are administered by State Historical Society of Iowa, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs. More information is available at www.iowaculture.gov or 515281-4228.

PREP VOLLEYBALL

Luther steps aside as Creston volleyball coach

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Volleyball has always been a passion of Polly Luther’s.

Even when she was a prep playing at Creston, she’s loved the game.

She carried that over into coaching at various levels the past 20 years.

Now, though, family is tugging at her heartstrings more.

It’s where she’s decided her time is best spent for the immediate future.

Luther resigned as Creston head volleyball coach this week after approximately seven seasons on the job.

A medical emergency within the family has taken most of Luther’s time since it first appeared in February. Since then, she’s been spending a considerable amount of time consulting with doctors in Des Moines about what’s going wrong, but a diagnosis has been elusive at this point.

“It means I can’t give the time I feel like is needed to the volleyball girls,” Luther said.

The decision to step away from a

sport she loves did not come easily, she said.

“I have a huge passion for volleyball,” Luther said. “I love the sport. I love coaching it. I love the girls.”

But in this case, family comes first.

“That’s where my focus needs to be,” Luther said.

The situation led Luther not to coach club volleyball this spring for the first time in many seasons.

She noted she first started coaching club volleyball 20 years ago when pregnant with daughter Hanna.

Luther relished in watching players grow in their skills and love for volleyball.

It grew even stronger when her daughters were in high school.

Defense leads the charge ■

Panthers executing enough on offense to succeed

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

The Creston Panthers boys soccer team has come a long way as a defensive unit.

A year ago through seven games Creston had yielded 24 goals.

Over the same span in the spring of 2017?

Just six.

“This year is definitely our year,” Creston junior Cole Higgins said. “We’ve gotten so much better than we were last year. We’re just really clicking. “ More than any other aspect of the game, Creston coach Lucian Diaconu was pleased with the second-half defense in Creston’s 2-0 win over Indianola at home Thursday.

The win represented Creston’s second win over Indianola in less than a week.

COMMENTARY

A day of families coming together LINCOLN, Neb. — Sport has a way of unifying, bringing families together.

Whether it’s cheering on in front of the television at home, gathering around the radio or going to a game themselves, they bring us together.

Families spend time bonding together, savor those moments.

For families that are spread apart, an afternoon at the ballpark, a night at a stadium is a way to spend precious moments together in a fun, enjoyable way.

Bringing families together can happen in all sorts of ways, as I saw

first hand this past weekend.

This past Saturday was the annual Red/White spring football game at Memorial Stadium for Nebraska.

This Saturday had been in the works for my parents and I for quite some time. Ever since the date for the Spring Game was announced several months ago, and

that the Nebraska baseball team was also home against Iowa at nearby Haymarket Park, it was a perfect opportunity for an afternoon and evening together.

We hadn’t seen each other since Christmas, so it was an ideal time to catch up, have a day together to bond, celebrate my 36th birthday a couple days early.

Mom, dad and I were at the football game, with an early supper after. Then dad and I went to the baseball game later on, met up by a friend from Creston.

We weren’t the only parents and children there at Memorial Stadi-

um.

For a good number of the 78,000-plus gathered, it was time with their fathers and mothers, sons and daughters.

Precious time bonding together in one of the great cathedrals to college football.

For myself, it was my first trip back to Memorial Stadium since Sept. 10 last season.

There’s great places to watch college football, been to several of them.

But there’s just something special about walking into Memorial Stadium on a Cornhusker

gameday.

The vibe, the atmosphere of this special place — it’s difficult to put it into words what Memorial Stadium means.

It’s a place where every time I come, I know all is well with the world. That everything in life will eventually be OK. As a born and raised Nebraskan, a child of the 1990s era, there isn’t a place I’d rather be on a football Saturday than at Memorial Stadium.

For one family, it was a day they KRONS | 3S

PANTHER GIRLS GOLF Greens at Pine Valley test Panther girls golfers Thursday

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

The greens at Pine Valley presented a different test than what the Creston/ Orient-Macksburg girls are used to seeing at Crestmoor Golf Club.

Coach Jon Thomson likes when his girls have the opportunity to play there, such as during Thursday’s round against Southwest Valley.

The setup of the greens tests the Panthers in different ways, and prepares them for the postseason.

“That’s why I love playing out here,” Thomson said.

“These greens are phenomenal. I love putting on these greens.”

Handling the speed of greens requires precision, and an ability to adapt.

“The girls need to see it.

They’ve got to adjust to it,” Thomson said. “A couple of them didn’t adjust to it very well today. They were hitting putts a long way.

They’ve got to recognize it a lot sooner than they did and make those putts. That’s one of the reasons we come out here and play. It’s awesome.”

The greens, combined with a stiff north breeze, tested the girls.

“It was pretty rough, especially with the wind and playing on different greens,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s Ashton Carter. “These greens are a little faster. It makes it a little more challenging.”

Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s Sophia Groumoutis, Southwest Valley’s Kiara Roberts and Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s Ashton Carter go over their scorecards at the end of Thursday’s round at Pine Valley Golf Course in Creston. Groumoutis was the medalist, while Carter was the runner-up.

The greens took some adjusting to get used too.

“Here, they are a little faster than Crestmoor,” said Sophia Groumoutis. “It was a little more hard for me to putt on.”

That’s what Thomson wanted his girls to experience.

“Especially early in the season, those are the types of greens we’re going to see

in the postseason,” Thomson said. “When things get a little drier, you’re going to see these faster greens. I know these greens will get faster as the season goes.”

Still, the greens were receptive to a good shot, Thomson said.

“They’re still approachable,” Thomson said. “They can hold them. You just have to be careful about the

PANTHER TRACK & FIELD Bounce back night for Panther girls

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CARROLL — Several days removed from a dissapointing team performance, the Creston girls track and field team got back in order, taking third place at a tight competition in Carroll Thursday.

The Panthers took third with 93 team points, third behind Denison-Schleswig, which finished with 105 points, and Dallas Center-Grimes, 98 points who scored points.

The third place 4x100 unit and both first place 4x400 and 4x800 groups all posted season bests.

Thursday’s standout was once again, freshman MaKenna Hudson.

“Hudson had a huge week for us. Star of the week,” Creston coach Clay Arnold said.

Hudson stepped into the 4x800 anchor leg and helped the Panthers to a time of 10:34.76.

Her distance medley performance anchor leg helped the Panthers take first as well.

The meet rerpresented Hudson’s first time running

two 800’s and she ran both under 2:40.

Hudson came through when needed.

“She really embraced it the last two weeks and got competitive with it,” Arnold said, referring to Hudson’s approach to the 800.

Hudson fought off nagging bumps and bruises and illness early on in the season, but has come out of it at full strength.

Saige Rice set a personal record in the high jump and picked up sixith place with her leap of 4 feet and 8 inches.

Rice ran leg two of the 4x800 unit, set Jesse Vicker up to take the lead, and ended up giving Hudson a large enough lead to win the race.

Kesia Stewart and Cayla Maitlen both performed well in multiple relays, and Maitlen took fourth in the 200 meter dash with her time of 28.42.

Hannah Hood added to her trophy case with a firstplace shot put throw of 39 feet and 2.75 inches and personal record discus toss of 116 feet and 7 inches.

At various points, the girls struggles on the greens.

“There were some four putts and we can’t have those,” Thomson said.

The wind created challenges for club selection.

“You would have to club up or club down, figure out what you have to do to hit a good shot,” Carter said.

Groumoutis was the medalist with a 40. Carter was the runner-up with a 44.

Hayley Osmun posted a 45 and Sadie Green added a 55.

Kiara Roberts had a 49 to lead the three Southwest Valley girls. Abbie Wetzel had a 54 and Maddie Ballard added a 67.

PANTHER TENNIS Panther girls and boys tennis sweep Audubon

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Conditions allowed for Thursday’s boys tennis match between Creston/ Orient-Macksburg to be played.

What happened was an opportunity for a number of the Panthers to enjoy time on the court.

Those players who don’t always see time in matches took advantage of their opportunities, having fun in the process.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg easily won the boys match 9-0.

The match allowed coach Kevin Cooper to shuffle the lineup around.

His players enjoyed it thoroughly. “It was more fun for the kids,� Cooper said. “All the kids involved in doubles matches had a good time.�

Cooper played 10 between singles and doubles.

will never forget.

During the pregame coin toss, the Hawke family came out onto the field to flip it.

There was a little surprise that they, nor the partisans gathered knew about.

Standing out there as one of the white team captains in full Huskers uniform, helmet and all, was their husband, father Staff Sergeant Matthew Hawke.

He’d just returned home after a 10-month deployment in Afghanistan.

Nebraska head coach Mike Riley told the family what they were about to do.

One of the boys was brought closer to flip the coin.

As the referee told the crowd what was going on, Matthew took off his helmet.

His son beamed at what he was seeing.

The coin was flipped — the Red team won the toss and would receive.

Then the referee and the players stepped back.

The family embraced with tears a flowing.

something,� Luther said. “Having kids that also played with a lot of these girls, you got it both on and off the court. You could see their love for the game, love of the sport and had a lot of success in that.�

She recalled seeing pictures from the past of the successes her girls had. “A lot of times those newspaper reporters get the best shots of the girls celebrating, seeing the excitement in

They were excited about the opportunity to play a varsity match. “It’s good for the kids that are always here, but don’t always have matches,� Cooper said. “If other schools have six kids, it makes it hard for the kids that practice a lot, but don’t always have the matches.

We’re always looking for extra matches for the JV kids.�

The weather was nice enough to play. “You never know what you’re going to get out here. You could have snow and rain. We’ve had them snowed out before,�

Cooper said. “Anytime it doesn’t rain or get cancelled, it’s fun.�

In the girls match at Audubon, Creston/Orient-Macksburg won 9-0, winning most convincingly.

The Panthers bounced back after Monday’s loss at Clarinda. “Tonight was encourag-

ing for our team after our loss Monday,� said assistant coach Amanda Plymale.

The Panthers were without top player Megan Haley, who is out for next few days with a minor shoulder issue. “We had a couple of girls having to play up a position and they all performed very well,� Plymale said.

The Panthers controlled most of their matches. “We did a better job of closing matches that we were leading,� Plymale said.

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg’s girls are at the Knoxville Tournament today.

The boys are at the Saydel Tournament Saturday, being played at the Norwalk Middle School.

The tournaments come at a good point in the season. “We will have to play well,� Cooper said.

The moment was told over the public address system to Husker Nation.

Memorial Stadium stood as one, roared like it would for a touchdown or a big play by the Blackshirts.

There weren’t too many dry eyes in Memorial Stadium as the cameras showed the family embracing on the Husker Vision screens.

This moment, seeing this family reunited after a long time apart, was amazing.

Watching the raw emotions of a father, husband, reunite with his wife and six children touched the heart and soul.

The applause waned for a few moments.

As it was announced once more, the crowd roared once again.

It made for another magical Memorial Stadium moment.

And it was one I was very thankful, fortunate to see.

I’ve seen some awesome moments in Memorial Stadium over the years first hand.

This ranks right up there with the best of them.

And it’s what sport is all about.

Bringing families together, uniting them.

Whether it’s only a few miles away, or across an ocean and then some, sport brings families together in ways that can’t be explained.

In those precious moments Saturday, whether it was Sergeant Hawke and his family, my parents and I, it was moments all will treasure, savor forever.

It’s why sport is so special — the bonds it creates with our families.

Thank you Staff Sergeant Hawke for your service to our great country. May your time home with your family be blessed.

To mom and dad, thanks for taking time out of your weekend to meet up, spend time together.

It added up to another special afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

And another poignant reminder, there truly is No Place Like Nebraska, and gameday at Memorial Stadium.

their faces,� Luther said.

In a rebuilding campaign this past season, the Panthers went 8-17 overall and 2-8 in the powerful Hawkeye 10 Conference.

Luther enjoyed seeing the players take those next steps, becoming better. “I always wanted to share that, that was something that was very important to me, seeing them succeed and do great things,� Luther said. “That was priceless.�

She recalled a stretch in the 2014 when the Panthers went on the road and won a pair of five-set matches over

state-ranked teams from St. Albert and Kuemper Catholic as two of the most memorable moments the past few seasons. “It was just fun,� Luther said.

Luther noted she won’t be far from the court, just not involved in an official capacity right now. “I don’t relax much when I watch volleyball,� Luther said. “I might sit away from everyone. I’m not going to be very far away.�

Luther did not rule out coaching in the future, but family has priority right now.

“Second half we played more defensively,� Diaconu said. “I’m really proud of the second half that defensively, playing against the wind, they weren’t able to score.�

Diaconu noted the critical defensive play of Isaac Wignall and Peres Reed, the latter which moved from the wing to defensive center back.

The unit is jelling better than any of them could have expected, and because of that, the team’s confidence is pushed to full throttle. “My defense is going to get the job done down there, so whenever we get the job done on offense, that’s when we win games,� said Higgins.

Possessing the ball in the midfield and not surrendering long possession helped the Panthers cut down on Indianola scoring chances. “We tried to keep them away from our defensive third and that worked well,�

Diaconu said.

The nerves that came with playing a 3A school subsided quickly with two first-half Panther goals. “We just got more focused, Higgins said. “We had a couple jitters in the first half. We just kept with it, kept working hard and got the job done.�

A long ball off the foot of Ben Irr beyond midfield got sent over the head of Creston’s Evan Jacobson. The junior chased the ball down toward the far left end line and played the ball in toward the goal with his left foot to Irr an eagerly awaiting Gavin Woods, who calmly deposited the ball for goal two for the Panthers in the waning seconds of the first half.

It just may have been the easiest finish for Woods in his soccer career for his eighth goal of the season, good for top 10 among all goal scorers in class 1A. The goal came after one off the head off Irr on a perfectly-executed flip throw from Peres Reed on the assist in the 18th minute of play.

But it was the sequence resulting in Woods’ goal that is likely to stick in the minds of the fans in attendance. “Ben has great footwork and the way they laid this on the field, starting with the send from Ben and then Evan making that run, it looked beautifully� Diaconu said. “That’s something offensively we’re pretty proud of.�

PREP TRACK Tuesday track and field: East Union boys adjust lineup at I-35 meet

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@ crestonnews.com

TRURO —East Union shuffled the lineup around quite a bit from earlier meet this season at Tuesday’s Interstate 35 boys invitational.

Coach James Hardy and the staff used the meet as an opportunity to experiment with the Pride of Iowa and state qualifying meets upcoming.

“This meet gives us an opportunity close to the midseason to align with some things we’re possibly going to do for districts and Pride of Iowa that would be competitive in the conference as well as possibly state qualifying night,” Hardy said.

“We looked at a night like this for an opportunity to see speed on the track, combinations not necessarily to score points, but what combinations might work when we’re looking at those upcoming bigger meets where we need to be more competitive on a bigger scale.”

Others were allowed to try their skills in other events.

“Some kids that normally do hurdles and long distance did other events,” Hardy said. “It gives them an opportunity to rejuvenate themselves, work on some other facets, sprints and open or another relay that they don’t normally do.”

The Eagles were second in the 4x800-meter relay and 4x400 relay, with Casey Walter second in the high jump. Gabe Nixon was third in the 400 and fourth in the 200. The sprint medley relay was fourth. Matthew Wittstock took fifth in the 400 hurdles and Brayden Martinez was sixth in the shot put.

“Gabe ran some good 800s. Casey continues to push for that 5-8 level,” Hardy said. “We saw some good things overall.”

Lenox was led by a second-place effort from the 4x100-meter relay and a third from the 4x400 relay. Blake Rychnovsky was fourth in the 3,200, Brenden Christensen was fourth in the 110 high hurdles. Aaron Schmitz was fifth in the 200 and sixth in the long jump,

“Even with the windy conditions the girls all played pretty decent with Anna Collins coming home with the medalist honors,” said East Union coach Dave Campbell. “Kate Sutton also had a good night shooting a personal best so far in her freshman year.”

On the boys side, East Union shot a season’s best round of 173.

Christopher Case edged Matt McGuire for medalist honors, as each had a 43 with Case winning the card off playoff.
