It’s all set. Council Bluffs Mayor Tom Hanafan and his staff will cross the Missouri River next month to build a house for Habitat for Humanity in Omaha.
Hanafan and Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle met on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge November 18 to announce the wager for the Nebraska-Iowa football game.
The bet was simple. If Nebraska lost, Suttle and his staff would build a Habitat for Humanity House in Council Bluffs. If Iowa lost, which it did, then Hanafan and his staff would build a house in Omaha.
The house will be built December 17th near 38th and Seward.
Suttle and volunteers from Omaha plan to be there too to lend a hand. Suttle will also collect basic kitchen and household supplies for the family that is planning to move into a Habitat for Humanity home in Council Bluffs December 10.

I grew up in Oklahoma, so it is easy to understand how I did not like the highly successful quarterback of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Today, I not only like Turner Gill but believe in the plan he was instituting at Kansas University. What I like most about him is how he treats people and how he carries himself, even in adversity. I also believe that, given more time, he would have translated that character into wins on the playing field.
This staff was not yet successful on the field, but they were successful in life. They are dedicated to the young men they mentored, were dedicated to the families they loved and committed to the assignment they were given. No matter what happens to them the rest of their lives, their identity is marked by their character, not their careers. No one can fire them from that. Thanks, Coach Gill and the rest of your staff, for your contribution to our community.
