The BMB story

DNR Law Enforcement Chief Sedlmayr retires

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Creston members Two of Bochart’s former bandmates in Creston — trumpet player RaeAnne Hopkins and Grace Eagan from the color guard — appear in the documentary and praised the video’s accuracy in telling the band’s story.

“Adam did an amazing job showcasing the ups and downs we faced throughout the season, and how much being a part of BMB means to all of us,” said Eagan, a freshman and one of the newcomers that made the 2016 band the largest in school history with 175 members.

This year, he still worked as technical director for CatVision as well as serving as general manager for the second year for KNWT television station based on the Northwest campus. His idea to do a documentary on the band during this senior year was actually spawned two years ago in a class he shared with fellow drumline member Mark Ludwig.

Pope Francis is brushing off security concerns to forge ahead with a twoday trip to Egypt aimed at presenting a united Christian-Muslim front that repudiates violence committed in God’s name.

Three weeks after Islamic militants staged twin Palm Sunday church attacks, Francis lands in Cairo on Friday for a series of deeply symbolic encounters with Egypt’s religious and political leadership. He will meet with Egypt’s president, patriarch and the “other” pope, Tawadros II of the

Bochart did 90 percent of the videotaping in following the band from band camp in August to the conclusion of the 2016 football season, capped off by the football team winning its sixth national championship.

Besides the segments shot by band members themselves on cell phones on their way to band camp and while watching the national championship game on their own — after hazardous travel conditions prevented the band’s trip to Kansas City for the game — Bochart also incorporated game footage from the university’s marketing and athletic departments. He is involved with both departments as a student employee.

A friend with the campus radio division, Kreighton Elwood, served as narrator and Bochart weaved a variety of music into the scenes to enhance the production.

and for a final project we decided to make a short documentary film on the drumline,” Bochart said.

“It’s something we were both passionate about. We made a short 10-minute feature piece and we aired it at the BMB banquet at the end of the season. It went over extremely well.

I wanted to revisit it on a larger scale.”

Bochart will receive his bachelor’s degree in mass media, broadcast production with an emphasis in video during Saturday’s commencement on the Northwest campus. He will start graduate school there next fall in instructional technology.

Even though his fulllength video on the band did not garner any class credit or reimbursement of any kind, it’s valuable experience for his chosen profession.

“It’s so neat to see Adam using his skills to promote the band,” said Mike Peters, band director at Creston Community High School. “In watching it, you could tell the person making it understood all that goes into a marching band, especially all of the preparation. He shows the social and family aspect of the band. I’m so proud of him.”

he has played a very instrumental role in many construction projects at state parks that have included the addition of playgrounds, cabins and facility renovations. Sedlmayr drafted the state’s first ecosystem management plan for parks, standardized the DNR law enforcement patrol vehicles and provided great input on rule and code changes to make recreating and resource protection the success it is today.

“My favorite part about the DNR is the great people that work for this agency and how much they really care about what they do,” said Sedlmayr. “As chief, it has been an honor to be able to implement changes that have led to wiser uses of our

MARYVILLE, Mo. — Northwest Missouri State University senior Adam Bochart of Creston combined his expertise in video production with his passion for marching band to tell the story of the Bearcat Marching Band.

Bochart, 2013 graduate of Creston Community High School, unveiled his 57-minute documentary about the 2017 Bearcat Marching Band season in a special presentation April 14 in the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts.

Among those in attendance was Dr. John Jasinksi, president of the university.

“Inside the BMB” also led off the the Northwest Student Film Festival five days later in the J.W. Jones Student Union board room.

Perhaps most impressed with Bochart’s work is Dr. Kathryn Strickland, assistant professor of music and director of athletic bands at Northwest Missouri State.

“I love the personal nature of it,” Strickland said.

“Since Adam was in band and knows so many who still are, he really got a sense of their experiences in a way an outsider wouldn’t.”

DES MOINES – The Chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Bureau, Mark Sedlmayr, is retiring today after 37 years with the DNR. Sedlmayr has served as the chief for the past 2.5 years. Before bec o m i n g Sedlmayr the chief, Sedlmayr served in several different capacities since he began his career with DNR at the age of 19, including seasonal worker in the Parks Bureau, park attendant, park ranger and law enforcement district supervisor.

Sedlmayr says the biggest changes he’s seen over the years are the increase of options for those utilizing the state parks, such as the additions of rental cabins and family cabins and renovation of campgrounds to include full electrical hook-up sites.

He also says the deer population in Iowa has become one of the top herds in the nation and state employees have also increased the wildlife species like wild turkeys, bobcats and otters in the state.

“Sedlmayr has had a tremendous impact on our department, and especially our

Law Enforcement Bureau,” DNR Director Chuck Gipp said. “His diligent work and knowledge has helped pass legislation that has made a difference in every Iowan’s life and has positively impacted our natural resources.

We are forever grateful for his dedication to our department and we will miss him greatly.”

Sedlmayr is a native of Reinbeck and currently resides in Afton. He and his wife have two sons who both work in law enforcement roles in the conservation field. He looks forward to spending more time with his family during retirement and also hunting, trapping and fishing.

Deputy Chief Jeff Swearngin will serve as Interim Bureau Chief of the Law Enforcement Bureau, effective today.

While Bochart’s master plan was for multiple cameras to film the band’s performance at the national championship game in Kansas City, that idea was shelved when an announcement was made two days prior to the game that due to a snowstorm expected in the area that weekend, the university had decided not to send the marching band.

Some of the most riveting moments of the documentary show Strickland informing the band of that decision, and the reaction of several band members afterward.

“The last 10 or 15 minutes of the documentary is such a roller coaster of emotions,” Bochart said. “You go from the highs of the football playoffs and the seniors being sentimental in how much they are enjoying the season, to just that dropoff and knife in the heart when they realize that everything they’ve been working for is suddenly done.

That segment is sad, and that’s not fabricated in any way. It was a heavy, heavy day for everyone involved.”

CONT. FROM | 1A

In the end, he used about 5 percent of the approximate 1,000 minutes of raw footage.

He began the editing process in January and was still busy exporting the final segments two days before the premiere showing on April 14.

“I was pleased with it,” Bochart said. “It told the story that needed to be told if you were to follow the band through an entire season. I love the stuff that’s outside the rehearsals and actual performances, getting to see that they are just real people. Those intimate moments outside the band setting, such as the drumline’s bowling night or the trumpet section’s Christmas party. I also like the Arrowhead Stadium performance, because that’s such a unique experience for the band.”

Emotional scenes The audience at the student film festival was visibly moved by two heart-wrenching scenes. One involves the band’s decision to help those affected by severe August flooding in Louisiana. Specifically, the band and Sigma Society, a service-based sorority, raised funds to help St. Amant High School in Louisiana, which is part of Dr. Strickland’s past.

The documentary shows Strickland’s emotional reaction as band member Jessica Buckley presents a $4,000 check to her for the Louisiana school, which had the band area under water and instruments ruined during the flood-

Armored cars are stationed in front of the presidential palace, where Francis makes his first stop Friday.

Banners in the Zamalek neighborhood welcomed Francis, with one from a private company saying “1,000,000 workers of Sharm el Sheikh welcome the pontiff.”

Francis is brushing off security concerns to forge ahead with a two-day trip to Egypt aimed at presenting a united Christian-Muslim front that repudiates violence committed in God’s name.

12:15 p.m.

In Zamalek, an upscale neighborhood on a Nile River island where Pope Francis will overnight in Cairo, streets that will be used by the pontiff’s motorcade have been emptied of parked cars.

Some nearby side streets have been blocked for Francis’ two-day visit that starts Friday afternoon. Security has also been visibly tightened in the neighborhood, with uniformed and plainclothes police deployed along routes expected to be used by Francis and his entourage.

The pope’s visit, however, is unlikely to cause much disruption to the city of some 18 million people as it falls on the Muslim, Friday-Saturday weekend when the usually congested traffic is significantly lighter.

Because of the cancelled trip, the documentary ends like it began — with footage submitted by band members watching the Bearcats winning the championship game. Some attended the game in person, while others, like Haberman, were shown whooping and hollering in their homes watching on television.

“It wasn’t the ending I was planning on, but I was pleased to work with that user-submitted footage just like the way they started the film as they made their way to band camp,” Bochart said.

The Catholic pontiff will hold a series of deeply symbolic meetings with Egypt’s religious and political leaders and participate in an international peace conference organized by AlAzhar, the world’s primary seat of Sunni Islamic learning.

He will also show solidarity and bring a message of peace to a country that has for years endured an increasingly emboldened insurgency led by a local affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group.

The pope’s Friday-Saturday visit will also lift the spirits of Egypt’s large Christian community after three suicide bombings since December hit their churches, killing at least 75 people. IS claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Pope Francis has met Egypt’s president at the start of a historic, two-day visit to the Muslim majority Arab nation fighting an insurgency by Islamic militants.

President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on Friday received the Catholic pontiff at his opulent Ittihadya palace, where a military band played the national anthems of the Vatican and Egypt as both leaders stood in attention.

Peters said the documentary serves as a window into any collegiate band experience.

“It shows the whole process, and just how long a process it is for a college band,” said Peters, who was in the Wayne State University marching band along with wife, Lisa, who coaches the Creston color guard and winter guard units. “They kick out several new shows throughout the season, which is different than a high school band. It shows how much time and sacrifice goes into that experience.”

While it was a labor of love for Bochart, combining his two passions, such a daunting endeavor purely as a donation might be a oneand-done affair.

“I would gladly do it again, but preferably for money,” he said, smiling.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Downsizing dilemma

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, April 29, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) At this time, you’re thinking about your values and what really matters in life. And you’re also thinking of money and cash flow. It makes sense.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)With the Sun in your sign, you easily attract fortunate situations and important people to you. Make the most of this!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Today the Moon is in your sign. At some point, life will seem hard. Don’t take this to heart, because these feelings will be gone in an hour.

(Whew!)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Although this is a popular time for you, today you feel a bit withdrawn. That’s OK. If someone is critical, don’t take it to heart, because these feelings will pass quickly.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You look good in the eyes of bosses, parents and VIPs right now. Today someone older might criticize you. Ignore this, because it’s just a fleeting dark cloud on your horizon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t be discouraged if dealing with authority figures is tough today. Fortunately, this will be brief. Meanwhile, an unexpected gift might come your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel like you want to get away “from all this” today.

Something might be too much to handle at the moment. By the evening, this feeling is gone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Keep an eye on matters related to inheritances and shared property, because something unexpected might occur. And when it does, authority figures will weigh in with their opinions. Fortunately, this is short-lived.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because the Moon today is opposite your sign, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Just be your accommodating, easygoing self.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It will be tough to stay on point today, because something unexpected will create a detour for you. Don’t let authority figures get you down. It’s all OK. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Meanwhile, a social event could be canceled, which might be disappointing.

No worries.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)You’re happy to cocoon at home today to take a breather. Don’t let an older family member get you down; it’s just his or her temporary mood. (It won’t last long.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are a spiritual person who enjoys learning. Security is important to you. Many of you will be a student or teacher this year, because your capacity for

research and understanding is at its very best. It’s a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. This will not tend to be a year of action, but rather a year of waiting and development.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Features

Dear Heloise: I’m helping my parents DOWNSIZE so they can move to a condo.

They have spent 38 years here, and the collections and clutter are just overwhelming. How do I help them get started? – Ruth J., Augusta, Ga. Ruth, you are NOT alone!

With the large demographics of the United States, it’s almost “the thing that’s going on” everywhere. Here are some hints for you and others to get started: * First, take it room by room, or by category, such as all books, bathrooms (towels, etc.), maybe even closets. Look at winter coats, old clothes, shoes and luggage. * Let friends and family know that they can come and take useful items that they want. Items in good shape can be sold in a garage sale, or online. Clothing can go to a consignment shop.

Do they really need a full service of china or crystal?

How many figurines do they want to dust? * Take your time! Plan several days, maybe only one or two a week, for a month. * Charities, homeless shelters, theater groups and religious organizations may welcome furniture or appli-

ances.

Good luck! – Heloise P.S. Do not rent a storage unit! You will never get back to it to clean it out.

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com TIME FOR A CHANGE Dear Readers: Here is a little more about moving, downsizing or trying to clear the crud that seems to fill our lives. Where does it all come from? Being a military brat (Air Force) and proud of it, we moved often when I was growing up. The good news: You HAVE to clean out closets, drawers, pots and pans, etc. It’s kind of nice to “start fresh” and put furniture in different arrangements.

So, here is a HINT FROM HELOISE: Take a look around, move the furniture, change the drapes or lampshades, paint a wall or hang new paintings or photos. It does not take much money, or a lot of time. Try it – trust me – and you will see that it’s true. – Heloise

SUDOKU

P.S. If you live near a college, call and see if there are groups (service organizations, clubs, etc.) that want to earn some money. They can help with lifting, and just may take some items away to use!

CABIN RULES Dear Heloise: When summertime arrives, my nieces and nephews come to visit at the lake. Sometimes we have a houseful! Here are a few RULES FOR THE CABIN: A. If you open it, move it or make a mess, close it, put it back or clean it up!

B. Everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves in the kitchen and the bathroom.

C. If the toilet-paper roll is empty, put a new one on!

They are under the sink.

D. If you leave, WRITE down on the pad in the kitchen where, when and what time you will be back.

– Auntie and Uncle in Wisconsin POP THE TOP Dear Heloise: When I have a hard time opening the “pop-top” cans, I use the end of a vegetable peeler to pry it up. – Jeanette in California (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, April 28, 2017

CLUB NEWS Afton Federated Garden Club

Members of the Afton Federated Garden Club met 11:30 a.m. April 14 at the Afton Community Center to work on projects for the plant sale in May. Members had lunch at Kansas Street Deli, then planned to work on the Butterfly Garden in the Afton square, but due to the rain, we went back to the center and worked on the project until time for the meeting.

President Shirley Wallace called the meeting to order with members repeating the Pledge of Allegiance and Club Collect.

Roll call was answered by 12 members.

Minutes were read by Monica Huddleson. After corrections, Gwen Sandeman made a motion and Ginny Quick seconded it, to approve the corrected minutes. Iris Smith and Bev Rowe gave the treasurer’s report. Donna Thomas made a motion, seconded by Audrey McDowell to accept the report. Thomas presented a bill for postage.

Loretta Kelly sent a thank you card to the club for the cards she received and for those who attended her surprise birthday party.

Thomas sent birthday cards to Ginny Quick, Karen VanBuskirk, Lauri Long and Kelly.

The Ways and Means committee discussed advertising for the May 12 plant sale. They plan to make posters and place them in various locations, put an ad in various newspapers and put an ad on Creston radio’s Grapevine.

Wallace reported on the June 5 district meeting in Indianola at the First Assembly of God Church.

The club is in charge of the pledge and a silent auction item, which Wallace has ordered. She noted several changes for future district news. Wallace told members at the end of the year, any extra district money is donated and this year’s donation went to the Iowa Arboretum. District meeting sign-up sheet was passed around.

Coming events include: May 5-6 – Jim Nelson’s Benton Street plant sale; from 1 to 6 p.m. May 12 – Afton Federated Garden Club plant sale; May 13 – Winterset Sunshine Club all day plant sale and Master Gardener’s morning plant sale, both in Winterset; Reiman Gardens will open their Washed Ashore exhibit featuring giant sea life sculptures running April 29-Oct. 31; Orient Friends of the Library plant sale will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 20 and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 21; and Orient Shady Ladies sale will be June 10.

For new business, members decided on getting club T-shirts. They decided on the color and for it to be silk screened with a design on the front. Costs and designs will be discussed next meeting.

After discussion, we de-

cided to add page numbers and a page with our past community service projects to our program books for next year.

Motion to adjourn was made by Thomas and seconded by Sandeman. All repeated the Conservation Pledge.

Quick gave a very interesting and informative program on bird nests – a safe place for babies to grow. She told us that hummingbirds use spider webs in making their nests so the nest can expand as the babies grow. Quick said the largest bald eagle nest was 9 feet in diameter, 20 feet deep and weighed 30 tons. She told the group not to put lint out for birds to use in nest making because of the chemicals. For more information go to www.explore.org.

Joan Johnson and Quick served lunch. The next meeting will be 10 a.m.

May 12 at Afton Community Center. Kelly will have the program on butterflies, and Kelly and Sandeman will be hostesses.

After the meeting, members will have lunch and prepare for the plant sale.

Weather permitting, it will be at the Afton Park, but if not, will be at the center.

Union County Genealogical Society

The Union County Genealogical Society met April 24 at Gibson Memorial Library. Eleven members and two guests answered roll call with their occupations.

President Jane Briley presided over the business meeting.

Roger Nurnberg reported on the steps to take in order to minimize damage from a computer attack.

1) When attacked, immediately disconnect your internet service. If using WiFi or a laptop, use the tower key to toggle off and on. If on a PC, shut the computer or router down.

If the computer is connected by cable, disconnect the wire from either the computer or the router. 2) Practice these steps so you can act quickly. 3) Back up your information.

4) Install a reputable virus protection.

Kathy Parmenter aided

by Nurnberg and Saundra Leininger presented the program on “what you can do for our new website.”

Volunteers are needed to transcribe information for the website. Contact Nurnberg if you are able to assist. Society-owned books can be used for information. Nurnberg will secure a receipt book which will record the book and the user. The receipt book will be kept by the secretary Jackie Shafar. A list of cemeteries that need to be transcribed was passed.

Parmenter also reported that individuals are encouraged to share family information to be included within the website. There will also be a facts page, and contributions are needed for this information.

Jackie Shafar gave the five-minute tidbit on the military section of the genealogy room. The two-volume set of “The Soldier in Our Civil War: A Pictorial History of the Conflict 1861-1865” was displayed for the detailed etchings of military action, individuals and battle maps that were made from sketches drawn by actual eyewitness to the happenings. “The History and Biography of Union County, Iowa Civil War Veterans”

by Joseph O. Elwell was a commemorative booklet assembled in three weeks.

It includes biographies of veterans along with photos, information on their families and, in some instances, pictures of their homes. Several books covering information of the Grand Army of the Republic were also covered giving the history of the organization, an explanation of significance of its badge, the impact that the

Creston Ladies Literary Circle

Creston Ladies Literary Circle (LLC) was hosted April 21 by Connie Purdum. The business meeting was conducted by President Vanita Moberg.

Linda Hartsock, program committee, requested the arrival time of 11:30 a.m. for those attending the spring luncheon May 5 at Crestmoor Golf Club.

Lunch will be served at noon.

Dee Ann Stults reported she and Midge Scurlock had contacted Elzevir, Chautauque, Bancroft and the Book Club to invite them to the program following lunch. The program by local author D. Nichole King will begin at 1 p.m.

Stults also announced that $1,000 was given in memory of Clifford Purdum by his wife Leon Purdum, a life time member of LLC. Following discussion of same, a motion was made by Judy Gile that LLC’s annual community charity donation be made to the Gibson Memorial Library building fund.

It was unanimously approved. That donation will be made in the fall.

Business meeting was adjourned.

Hartsock then introduced Gile, who gave an informative and shocking review of the book “In Order to Live” by Yeonmi Park with Maryanne Vollers. This is an autobiography of an amazing young woman who started her escape from North Korea by way of China with her mother at the age of 13.

They crossed a frozen river to China where they hoped to have a new and better life and eventually go to South Korea and freedom.

New Subscriber Offer

What they found was a life of human trafficking and abuse. Ironically, they left North Korea for being abused in that repressive society. For more than 70 years, the family of Kim has ruled North Korea with an “iron cruel fist.”

In this isolated and closed community, the North Koreans know nothing about the outside world, living with no contact with other nations. No decisions are made by individuals, only by the government and great cruelty, distrust, dishonesty and torture are the normal.

The book shows people what life is like in this isolated country called the “Hermit Kingdom.” The personal account of this woman and her family reveals the unbelievable hardships they face each day. It puts a human face on living under a cruel dictator. This timely review sparked much conversation and concern.

Pelicans were observed on Summit Lake. Springtime flowers decorated the tables. Refreshments of lemon-pineapple cake, candy and nuts were served.

The next meeting will be the final of the season, the spring luncheon May 5 at Crestmoor Golf Club.

The slate of officers for next year will be: Linda

Topliff, president; Carol Brentnall, secretary; Terry Ammon, treasurer; Angela Pullen, reading chairman; and executive committee Angela Pullen and Barbara Thomsen. Members volunteered to be hostesses for next year.

Ladies Literary Circle has invited the group to attend their program 1 p.m.

May 5 at Crestmoor Country Club. The speaker will be Iowa author D. Nichole King of Osceola. It was decided this would take the place of the regular scheduled May 12 meeting.

DAR

Ten members of Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, met April 8 at Summit House in Creston.

Chapter Regent Jane Briley hosted the group.

Following rituals, Elaine Brown, Indian Moment chairwoman, talked about John Harrington, flight engineer on the Endeavor space craft in 2002, who was the first American Indian in space. Harrington is a member of the Chickasaw Tribe.

Connie Kinkade gave the National Defense report citing a report during the World War I era urging DAR members to help the war effort in the following ways: knitting products, making jellies for hospitals, adopting war orphans and working on the clipping bureau service committee.

Members were encouraged to watch the American Experience Series WWI on PBS, commemorating 100 years of America’s involvement in WWI. Pam Marvin’s Women in Iowa report told the story of Nellie Verne Walker, born in Red Oak in 1874 and was raised in Moulton.

She learned the art of stone carving from her father, who carved tombstones for a living. Using her father’s tools, Walker carved a bust of Abraham Lincoln that was displayed at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. She became a famous sculptor fulfilling commissions in Iowa and across the country. She is best known for carving the statue of Iowa Senator James Harlan that stood in the U.S. Capitol for many years. Walker lived to be 98 years old and is buried in Moulton with her parents.

Tessa Hull has submitted her lineage papers to become a DAR member.

The vote to accept her was unanimous.

The ISDAR State Conference will be held April 27-28 in Ames. Delegates attending are Briley, Connie Kinkade and Jackie Beard.

Alternates are Marjorie Kinkade and Marvin.

Connie Kinkade will plan a Memorial Day program to be held at McKinley Park in Creston. Members discussed a flag retirement ceremony and various locations for the event were discussed. Details will be announced at a later date.

For roll call, members gave ideas for next year’s programs.

The trip led to the best team score for the women’s team since Coach Doug North took over the program.

The Spartan women were led by freshmen Camryn Somers and Courtney Clark, who both finished in a tie for 15th, as both shot while shooting 93’s. Somers posted her score while taking a 10 a difficult 14th hole. Clark shot her 93 and struggled on the back while taking four 7’s.

“Those are good rounds and both are a tie for the lowest score since I have started here,” said North. “The best part is none of the girls played their best.

They weren’t satisfied.”

The team score of 379 eclipsed the 400 that was its target to start the spring.

“I told the girls that if we could break 400, that is a huge milestone,” North said. “We did that and then some. It feels good for all of them heading into regional play.”

The ICCAC Region XI Championship will be held today (Friday) and Saturday at Otter Creek Golf Course in Ankeny, Iowa.

“If anybody can find a non-windy day at Crestmoor Country Club, I’m sure the next day will prove you wrong,” North said. “We practice in the miserable cold and rain, and we do it for moments like this.”

The top 15 ladies at the regional championship will move on to Nationals, and most of the region competed in the Iowa Central tournament. The ladies scores were rounded out with Sydney Goltl shooting a 96, Evy Wells shooting a 97, and Brooke Decker with an even 100.

The men’s team also competed, but didn’t quite have the success they were looking for.

The Spartan men, one traveling member down, only competed with four, leaving little room for error. The Spartans were led by a top 25 placing by Cole Campbell, who shot an 81.

The competition was stiff with the only ICCAC Region XI Championship team not in attendance being Kirkwood. The Spartans rounded out scoring with a pair of 84’s by Noah Simon and Wes Davis Ben Sandquist was right behind with an 85. This was the final regular season competition for both men and women as the Spartans head into regional play.

Bearcat defensive end projected as later-round pick Saturday

■

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Nothwest Missouri State All-American defensive end Collin Bevins of Creston hopes to hear his name called this weekend during the NFL draft.

Projected as a possible selection in the fifth through seventh rounds on Saturday, Bevins plans to watch the draft with a small group of family and friends at his Creston home.

He said he has been in the most contact with the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens, but has had conversations with several other teams, including a workout in Maryville, Missouri, with representatives of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Panther exodus, Knights cometh Creston boasts first boys college soccer signees in seven years ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

The Creston boys soccer team has watched seven years come and go since the last time it sent any athletes off to college to extend their playing careers according to coach Lucian Diaconu.

Thursday, the Panthers had two student athletes put pen to paper to guarantee that statistic is no longer in play.

Panther seniors Gavin Woods and Ben Irr signed on to play soccer together for the Wartburg Knights in Waverly.

Irr’s brother Kevin signed with Graceland in 2010.

Wartburg is an NCAA Division III program that competes in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Knights went 12-7-1 in 2016 under Kirk Artist. The Knights made two NCAA tournament appearances under Artist.

New coach Mike Madagin steps into the fold this coming fall. That almost deterred Irr, but he came back around on Wartburg.

“I was a little hesitant to

go there but then I made a couple visits, one with Gavin again, and I really liked Mike Madagin as well,” Irr said. “He seemed like a really good guy and he’s working them probably even harder than before. The culture up there is great.”

While Irr was initially the first to bring up going to Wartburg between the two of them, Woods was the first one to be sold on the Waverly campus.

“We took a college visit up there and athletics wise they’re a really higher up program and academically they can back it too,” Woods said. “All of the facilities are SOCCER | 2S CNA photos by KALEB CARTER

DRAKE RELAYS

Fast race tests Creston native Phipps at Drake NWMS junior places 19th in unseeded 5k

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES – Northwest Missouri State University junior Brandon Phipps

has come a long way since his days as a Creston Panther track star.

Thursday night, Phipps Phipps made his return to the Drake Relays, running in the unseeded men’s 5,000

meters under the lights during the distance carnival.

Phipps ran 14:47.80 for 19th place in the race, falling short of his goal of 14:20.

He entered Thursday’s race with a PR of 14:35.6, which he ran earlier this season.

“I just wanted a fast race and it was a fast race,” Phipps said. “I thought I had it in my legs to run fast.

I went through 3K feeling

good, but that fourth K just got me and the pack kept moving I just settled in and it wasn’t my day, but that’s just how it goes sometimes.”

Phipps was on pace for his goal time of 14:20 through the first kilometer, clocking a 2:52. Through the first mile, Phipps was at 4:37 – again, right on pace. His second kilometer was right on pace again at 2:52.

After slowing slightly in his third kilometer to 2:56, he fell off with a 3:02 fourth kilometer.

Phipps spent much of the race caught between two packs, unable to latch onto the pack in front of him.

“Plan No. 1 is to maintain contact, get control of the race,” Phipps said. “That’s PHIPPS | 4S

Panther boys unable to rally late SHENANDOAH — Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s boys tennis team was in position to rally heading into doubles during Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference match at Shenandoah.

The Panthers could not quite muster a rally as the Mustangs held on for a 7-2 win.

Shenandoah swept all three doubles matches to secure the league victory. “We battled in doubles, but lost all three,� said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Kevin Cooper.

The Mustangs took advantage of Panther mistakes throughout the dual. “We had way too many unforced errors,� Cooper said.

The Panthers struggled to piece together enough qual-

ity moments. “We are just way too inconsistent,� Cooper said.

A combination of things cost the Panthers. “Some of it is from impatience and some of it is from inexperience in places,�

Cooper said.

The Panthers picked up wins at number two singles from Jaden Driskell, 10-6 over Alex Goodell, and 10-4 from Walker Patterson over Christopher Hendon at number six singles.

Shenandoah’s girls tennis team was in control early and often in Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference match with Creston/ Orient-Macksburg at the Southwestern Community College courts.

The Panthers seldom had any answers for what the Fillies were doing.

Shenandoah, now 8-0 in duals, took advantage in rolling to a 9-0 win. “Shenandoah came out and dictated play on each court,� said Creston/Macksburg assistant coach Amanda Plymale.

The Panthers were playing from on their heels throughout.

Seldom could the Panthers generate any positive momentum. “We were left on defense and struggled to close games out,� Plymale said.

Of the nine varsity matches, the Fillies held the Panthers to less than four points in eight of them.

The closest match of the night came at number two doubles. Shenandoah’s tandem of Sara Wood and Natalie Gilbert defeated the Creston/Orient-Macksburg pair of Mattie Wheeler and Madison Callahan 8-5. “Callahan and Wheeler were able to use quick reaction time to stay in the match,� Plymale said.

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg is scheduled to be back on the court today (Friday) hosting Clarke at 4:15 p.m. at the Southwestern Community College Courts. The Panthers are slated to be at Red Oak Monday. However, rain is in the forecast for both days.

really nice and I fit in really well too.�

Irr and Woods, two senior captains, have helped bring new energy to a Panther program that already has more wins than a year ago, and easily more scoring.

Creston sits at 5-5 with Irr and Woods the main components in the revitalized Creston attack.

Woods has scored 11 goals, tied for seventh in Class 1A, and has assisted on two more. Irr has scored six and assisted on six, while demonstrating a penchant for facilitating in the midfield and marksmanship on free kicks. “It’s been nice. Now other teams know that we’re actually a force to be reckoned with,� Woods said. “The culture around everything is different this year.�

The chemistry that the two have could pay big dividends once they become Knights.

It certainly has as Panthers. “These two guys work together in their style of play.

Ben has lot of assists to Gavin. I think for Gavin’s career as a striker, Ben had a major role in that, not only this year but prior to that too. The other way around too,� Diaconu said. “They

have great work ethic. Both of them. They are two strong players that they don’t give up. I think it is high quality that they will bring.�

With soccer in the fall and not the spring, the two budding Knights know that they’ll have to adjust quickly to changes in the college game. “College is going to be a lot faster, and that’s what we’ve got to work on is making quicker decisions, obviously getting stronger and faster,� Irr said.

Diaconu knows that his stars have the talent and character to succeed in Waverly. The teamwork and way in which they encourage their teammates greatly pleases Diaconu. “These two set the bar high,� Diaconu said. “I know these two guys since they were in eighth grade when they played for Wildfire (youth team),� Diaconu said.� Me and the coach at that time, (Steve Bossenberger), we noticed their style of play and then when they getting to the program we know that they were soccer-dedicated. They would watch soccer on TV, they would follow teams and as they would mature we’d notice they have good leadership skills too.�

Irr plans on studying actuary science while Gavin Woods intends to study sports management.

PANTHER GIRLS T&F ■

Wilson and Hood show successful teammate they too can toss with the best

BY KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@ crestonnews.com

CARLISLE — Faith Wilson and Abbi Hood didn’t have to follow the tough act that was Drake Relays qualifier and top thrower Hannah Hood in the shot put at Thursday’s girls track and field meet in Carlisle.

Instead, they became the one of the main attractions, as both shattered personal records in the shot put and earned team points for Creston. Wilson finished third with a throw of 34 feet and .25 inches and Abbi Hood took fifth with her heave of 32-5.5.

Wilson’s last throw of the night resonated strongly with Creston coach Clay Arnold.

Just based on her footwork and approach, he knew the throw would be good.

“That’s the smoothest and best technique I’ve ever seen from her,” Arnold said.

Creston, with 131 team points, finished second to Carlisle’s 158.

Thursday represented another respectable performance for the Panthers as a whole, though they did not quite rack up personal records and season-bests in running events.

Creston grabbed first-place finishes in the 4x200, where

Cayla Maitlen came from behind in the last leg, and 4x400.

The Panthers earned number two spots in the distance medley, sprint medley and the 4x800.

Though the Panthers had to do some last-minute juggling, the group of Jesse Vicker, Saige Rice, Brielle Baker and MaKenna Hudson sprinted their way to a 4:25.12, threeplus seconds better than runner-up Winterset.

Hudson’s 1:03.24 in the 400 meter dash put her ahead of all but ADM’s Elle Hook, who ran a 1:03.22.

Brielle Baker continued a strong week with a ‘huge night’ in Arnold’s words.

Her 1,500 time of 2:26.97 left the rest of the field in the dust as she easily took first.

Baker was on the 4x400 unit, the 4x800 unit and also took second in the 1,500.

Others, like Allivea Skarda, impressed for their improvements. Skarda’s 1,500 time of 5:49.49 placed her fourth. That time shaved off 17 seconds from her previous best.

Rachel Shepherd led by example in her relays, and nearly reached a personal mark by crossing under 72 seconds in the 400 hurdles. Her time of 1:12.03 was her best of the year.

As for Friday, Hannah

Hood, who possesses the third-best shot put throw in the state of Iowa this year at 44-2, rested and did not throw shot.

Hannah Hood still threw the discus and put up one of her best performances of the season with a second-place throw of 114 feet.

“Glad the day is here,” Arnold said. “Told Hannah that Faith and Abbi put on a show for her tonight. She’s got to have to one-up them tomorrow.”

She is set to throw Friday morning, with a cast of Panther athletes and fans in support, with the finals set for 8:30 a.m.

Missouri Western campus with four Bearcat teammates in March, traveled to Arizona to work out for the Cardinals and meet their coaching staff and front office on April 2 and 3.

Since then, there have been several other inquiries directed to Bevins and his Chicago-based agent, Kyle Dolan.

“Probably 15 different teams have called in the last few days, getting my phone number for draft day and asking what I’ve been hearing in terms of interest from other teams,” Bevins said Thursday afternoon.

Bevins would become the first Creston playaer to be drafted in the NFL. Former Iowa quarterback Kyle McCann was picked up as a free agent by the New York Jets after the 2001 draft and participated in training camp before playing in NFL Europe.

The only NFL player in Creston history was “Frosty” Peters as a drop-kicker four four years in the 1930s, before the draft was utilized by the league.

Bevins, fellow Bearcat defensive end Cass Weitl of Carroll Kuemper Catholic and kicker Simon Mathiesen all expect free agent offers if not selected in the later rounds Saturday.

Coming off a broken foot in the Division II semifinals in Maryville, which hampered him in the championship game, Bevins spent the winter rehabbing the injury and training before the March 24 pro day. At that event he was

measured at 6-foot-4 and 272 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.91 seconds, broad jumped 9-9, had a vertical jump of 31.5 inches and bench pressed 225 pounds for 26 repetitions.

Pro scouts, projecting him as a rush defensive end, liked his measurements of 10 3/4 inch hands and 34 3/4 inch arms.

Weitl was 6-4 and 266 pounds with 16 reps in the bench press, vertical of 33.5 inches with hand measurement of 10 1/8 inches and arm length of 33 5/8 inches.

“It seems like they list you a little shorter at pro days, but that doesn’t bother me,” said Bevins, who was listed as 6-6 and 285 pounds on the Bearcat roster.

Bevins recorded 61 total tackles, which was the fourth most on the team, and was second on the team in sacks with eight. He had 15.5 tackles for loss as a senior.

Bevins was also voted to the Don Hansen All-America Second Team as well as All-America First Team honors from American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), and the Associated Press.

Bevins was also named to the D2football.com’s All-America first team. He was the MIAA Defensive Player of the Year in 2015.

Bevins broke the career records previously held by current Los Angeles Rams defensive end Matt Longacre.

Bevins finished with 58.5 tackles for loss and 34 sacks for his career, led by a 26.5-15.5 junior campaign that led to first team All-America honors.

Central Decatur sophomore high jumper Cauy Spidle attempts his first try at the height of 6 feet, 3 inches at Thursday’s high jump finals at Drake Stadium.

Spidle’s personal record was 6-4 coming in, but competition Thursday started at the height of 6-1. “It was pretty good considering I started at 6-1. I usually start at 5-1,” Spidle said. Spidle, who qualified via a tiebreaker scenario, finished among the final 17 particpants, and quite nearly jumped 6-5 before clipping the bar with his heel and calf in his final two tries. “My goal for the end of my career was to jump 6-4.25 at least. Get the school record and I’m doing that almost as a sophomore.” Now eyes his eyes are set on 6-5. “I just need to work on kicking a little faster.”

Northwest Missouri State University junior Brandon Phipps runs down the backstretch during the unseeded men’s 5,000 meters Thursday night during the distance carnival at the Drake Relays. Phipps finished 19th with his time of 14:47.80. It was Phipps’ first time running at the Drake Relays since he ran for Creston’s 4x800 relay team as a senior in 2014.

exactly what I didn’t do. I didn’t stay in contact early because I knew they were going to go out quick and I thought they were going to come back to me, but it was a tough field. They stayed tough and ran strong.”

The Bearcat junior said he had not been in a race like that yet this year, where the field separated itself from him.

“It’s very mentally tough when people start breaking you,” Phipps said. “You get in a pack of runners with some of the best runners in the nation, it is what it is. It’s still a good day. It’s always good to get back on the blue track.”

Phipps has set new PRs in both the 5,000 and 10,000 meters this year, hitting NCAA Division II provisional national-qualifying

times in both events.

He will run both races in the upcoming MIAA Conference Championships May 5-7, hosted by Southwest Baptist in Bolivar, Missouri.

“That’s what it all comes down to,” Phipps said. “Today was a great opportunity, but conference is where it counts. The 10K is what I’m shooting for at conference.

We’ve got the No. 11 guy in the entire world right now in our conference, but he’s hopefully pacing me and another kid to go for a good time there.”

From there, Phipps will get one more opportunity at a 5K with a last-chance meet May 12-13 in Naperville, Illinois.

Phipps said he was glad to return to the blue oval at Drake for the Drake Relays.

“I was excited to get back here,” he said. “I’ve been all over the country this year, but getting back here was a special moment for me. I

was very blessed to get back here and humbled, honestly, to get back on this blue track with great competition.”

While the 14:47.80 time was not what Phipps hoped for Thursday night, he still had plenty to be proud of after the way this season has gone for him.

“This year has been so great to be fully healthy,” he said. “Coach’s training has set me up nice. I’ve really come a long, long way.

In one year, I’ve dropped 50 seconds in a 5,000 meter run and am running my 10K as fast as I was my 5K last year, back-to-back times. That’s a credit to my teammates and my coaches. Yeah, it’s disappointing to run 14:47, but I never thought I’d be at this point coming my career. It’s been a blessing.”
