uying a house is one of the biggest decisions and commitments a person can make in their life.

To ease the fear, stress and frustration of the process, six organizations came together to offer their best advice during a homebuyer’s seminar hosted by First National Bank Thursday at Southwestern Community College.

Above, this 1,016 square foot home, 409 N. Elm St., listed by Stewart Realty, features three bedrooms and two bathrooms and is one of 72 homes for sale in Creston.

Right, Retta Ripperger of R Realty in Creston delivers a status update on Creston’s housing market conditions.

According to Ripperger, this year, homes are spending 25 percent less time on the market than in the previous year.

Move quickly Real Estate Broker Retta Ripperger of R Realty said buyers should move quickly if they are interested in a residential property in Creston.

“As a buyer, you may have looked at a home yesterday and thought, ‘I’m going to think about this a little bit,’ but, by the time you decide to make an offer, the house is gone,” Ripperger said.

According to Bluegrass Multiple Service Listing, which Ripperger said features home listings of every real estate agent in Creston, only 72 houses were available for sale in Creston as of last week.

To give you an idea of Creston’s current home selection, 33 percent of the homes for sale are in the $20,000-$50,000 range, 31 percent are in the $50,000$80,000 range, 15 percent are in the $800,000-$100,000

range, 10 percent are within the $100,000 to $120,000 range, and 10 percent of houses for sale in Creston are more than $120,000.

With so few houses in Creston, Ripperger said it’s more common to see multiple offers made on the same property.

“Our choices as a buyer are down,” Ripperger said.

“You might have to compromise what you are looking for.”

Know your price The first step to purchasing a house is not contacting a realtor, but to meet with a home loan officer to determine your purchasing power.

“The main things we look for are how much you can afford and what is your credit score,” said Paul Lorenz, vice president at First National Bank in Creston.

Gaining pre-approval for a

home loan saves home buyers the grief of looking at houses they can’t afford, and places them in a better position to make a serious offer when they discover the right house.

“I think most realtors request that (pre-approval letter),” said Lorenz.

For individuals wishing to qualify for a home loan, Lorenz said, First National Bank requires a government issued I.D., paystubs for the previous two months and income tax returns for the previous two years.

Funding options If you don’t know what kind of home loan you are looking for — whether an adjustable rate mortgage, fixedrate loan, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan or Iowa Finance Authority Rural Development loan — a home loan officer is the best

place to start.

“Each person’s situation is different,” Lorenz said.

“What is right for one person is not necessarily right for another.”

Visiting with a home loan officer is also a good way to learn of other home buying resources in Creston.

Judy Brimm, finance director of Southern Iowa Council of Governments (SICOG) shared information on a housing revolving loan fund (H-RLF) administered by SICOG, and the Southern Iowa COG Housing Trust Fund.

The purpose of H-RLF is to help low-to-moderate income earners afford a down payment on a house.

SICOG’s H-RLF program lends up to $5,000 to qualifying home buyers. However,

(MCT) — It was exactly the sort of thing you’d expect to see at a circus: a human chandelier made up of aerial acrobats, all high off the ground, hanging by their hair from a scaffolding.

But at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show Sunday in Providence, R.I., wonder turned to horror for 3,900 audience members as the scaffolding suddenly gave way, sending the performers plummeting as far as 40 feet before they crashed into the ground.

At least nine performers were seriously hurt in the accident during the first of the three shows planned at the Dunkin’ Do■ One nuts Center on Sunday. The circus’ afternoon and evening public shows were canceled while an official investigation began. estimates One public official estimated the performers fell 25 to 40 performers feet. A spokesman for the cirfell 25 to cus said eight aerial acrobats and one dancer were hurt.

40 feet.

“All performers in the act received immediate medical attention and were transported to a local hospital for further care,” Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey company officials said in a statement. A spokesman said the injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

A Rhode Island Hospital official said seven performers had been admitted but declined to give their conditions.

On its website, the circus bills the “Hair Hang” act as the “one-of-a-kind” creation of husband-andwife team Andre and Viktoria Medeiros, with Viktoria performing as one of the eight aerialists in the act.

“These ‘hairialists’ perform a combination of choreography and cut-ups including spinning, hanging from hoops, and rolling down wrapped silks, all while being suspended 35 feet in the air by their hair alone!” the website says. “In this hair-raising act, audiences will even see the weight of three girls held aloft by the locks of only one of these tangled beauties.”

An audience member’s video uploaded to YouTube appeared to show the incident.

Benefits Lorenz said one of the main benefits of purchasing a home over renting is to control costs.

“You can not control your rent payment, but, you may be able to avoid increases in your monthly payment (for a mortgage),” Lorenz said.

Additionally, interest paid may be tax deductible and home owners have the ability to build equity. As a house is paid down and value increases on a house, the difference of the two, known as equity, gives the homeowner more purchasing power for future investments and lines of credit.

To begin your home buying journey and learn the full scope involved in purchasing a house, contact your local bank for details.

An emcee on the floor introduces the “amazing, hair-raising” act just before a curtain falls and reveals several acrobats hanging from a structure.

“Suspended only by a string!” the emcee appears to tell the crowd — right as the structure plummets to the ground, taking the performers with it.

“Are they supposed to fall like that?” one young audience member can be heard asking on the video.

“No,” someone else responds, as several circus workers rushed to the aid of the fallen performers.

WASHINGTON (MCT) — President Barack Obama stood in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday after Republicans blocked a minimum wage hike bill and argued that “they prevented a raise for 28 million hardworking Americans.”

That number sounded high — a lot higher than ones Republican lawmakers used as they voted against the measure. GOP critics says it’s mostly teenagers and young people who rely on minimum wage jobs, not the poor.

Turns out the truth, which is often murky in Washington politics, sits somewhere beneath the partisan rhetoric.

It’s true that only about 3.6 ■ 3.6 milmillion people are paid at or be- lion people low the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, according to are paid at the Labor Department. That’s or below less than 5 percent of the nation’s the federal hourly workers.

But Democrats’ estimate of 28 minimum million may not be as exagger- wage of ated as Republicans say. $7.25.

Nearly half of the states have set their own wage floors higher than the current federal minimum but lower than the $10.10 Democrats have proposed this mid-term election year.

Looping in those workers means more than 16 million Americans would benefit from the federal wage hike, according to various studies, including the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Add to that the so-called “ripple effect” — when employers raise the overall wage scale to reflect a new minimum wage in order to attract and reward better employees. That means another 11 million workers would see a pay raise, according to other studies. The Brookings Institute’s Hamilton Project puts the numbers even higher.

Together, that pushes the tally closer to the 28 million that Obama and Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez used throughout last week’s debate, surrounding themselves with low-wage workers for the campaign photo op.

Still, critics ask, aren’t most of these workers young people, flipping burgers at their first jobs — as Republican Gov. Scott Walker has said he and Rep. Paul D. Ryan did growing up in Wisconsin — rather than heads of households trying to support a family on minimum wage?

Yes and no. True, 50 percent of those earning at or below minimum wage are between 16 and 24 years old, according to the Labor Department. But that means the other half are 25 or over. And figures show that older employees are making up a greater share of minimumwage workers than they have in the past.

A review of previews is needed Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about movie previews: “My Sound Off is about movie previews. I recently took my child to see a PG movie, and the previews the theater showed were for PG-13- and R-rated movies.

While the previews themselves were not rated that, there still were things shown that were a little scary for my son. And I had to explain that we couldn’t go to see those movies. I wish they would only show previews for other children’s movies at children’s movies.” — Paula in Texas — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are other uses for egg cartons: • Use in the garage to hold nuts and bolts.

• Carry deviled eggs in one.

• Keep earrings and rings in one on a dresser.

• Use as a paint palette.

• Start seedlings in one.

Hints from Heloise I can do when this happens?

Panther girls end streak with overtime win

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Two years, 30 days.

A string of 35 straight defeats since beating Missouri Valley 2-0 in the first match of the 2012 season on April 2.

Seven of those losses were by the slimmest of margins — scores of 1-0 or 2-1 to opponents such as Chariton, Atlantic, Carroll Kuemper (this year) and Oakland Riverside.

A half-dozen of the losses were routs of 10-0 or 8-0 to state powers such as Lewis Central, Harlan, Winterset and Nodaway Valley/West Central Valley/Adair-Casey.

But through it all, one thing never vanished from the Creston girls soccer program.

Hope.

A positive spirit permeated every time the Panthers took the field, without ever tasting victory through those 760 days.

All that pent-up emotion waiting to be unleashed when that victorious day would come was finally witnessed by the loyal faithful Friday night at Panther Field.

Forward Savannah Hartman, who had tied the match 1-1 in the first half on a hard penalty kick to the left corner of the net, took a pass down the left sideline with under four minutes left in the first overtime period against Riverside.

She changed direction

Creston’s Savannah Hartman (4) blasts a penalty kick into the net to tie Friday’s match 1-1 with Oakland Riverside in the first half. Teammate Jenna Hayes looks on. Hartman also had the winning goal in overtime for the 2-1 Panther victory.

quickly, scooted the ball to her right and uncorked an angled shot past the Riverside goalkeeper to the right side of the net.

Suddenly, the streak was over. As the scoreboard flashed “Panthers 2, Bulldogs 1” bedlam ensued on the turf that had just experienced 87 minutes of soccer without a resolution.

“I wish I knew,” said an emotional Hartman, when asked the details of the winning play. “It’s all kind of a blur. It (the ball) got sent.

And I shot, right where I wanted it. Then all I remember is screaming and praising the Lord!”

Teammates flocked around the Panther junior in celebration. Then the

team turned to its fans in the bleachers and applauded their support. Smiles were everywhere.

Finally.

“I didn’t really want to go into overtime, but I was thankful for the outcome,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer, also tasting her first varsity victory in her second season as head coach.

Early exit for young Spartans Briley, DMACC sail to regional softball title

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

FORT DODGE — Southwestern’s young softball team bowed out on the first day of Region XI competition Friday.

The sixth-seeded Spartans were edged 5-4 in a comeback effort by No. 3 seed Iowa Central. In consolation play in the doubleelimination tourney, seventh-seeded NIACC then defeated Southwestern, 7-2.

Iowa Central followed with an 8-0 loss to secondseeded DMACC. In that game, sophomore shortstop Katlin Briley of Creston had three hits for the victorious Bears.

DMACC picked up a key 5-1 win over top-seeded Kirkwood Saturday, including a home run by Briley, to enter Sunday as the only unbeaten team in the field. Kirkwood faced No. 4 seed Marshalltown for the right to take on the Bears and stay in contention, and sailed to an 8-0 victory in Sunday’s first game.

That set up a rematch with DMACC on Sunday,

and the 16th-ranked Bears again defeated the No. 4 Kirkwood Eagles, 7-1, to win the regional title. Briley was 3-of-5 at the plate, finishing a 9-of-15 weekend.

Sophomore Riley Fisher of Des Moines East, a transfer from Iowa State, pitched a three-hitter. The only run allowed was on a slap hit that got past the outfielder for an inside-thepark home run. Sophomore Aly Netty of Waterloo pitched the first win over Kirkwood on Saturday, after Kirkwood had swept four regular-season meetings with DMACC. “We hit the ball a lot better and stayed relaxed,” Briley said. “We didn’t think of them as K i r k w o o d the great team. We Briley weren’t intimidated. We didn’t make as many errors as the other games against them.

This sets up a district double-elimination tournament in Columbus Neb., Wednesday and Thursday

involving host Central Nebraska, a team that lost 5-1 to DMACC at the Kirkwood tournament during the season, and Williston State College of North Dakota. DMACC opens against Williston State at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

The district champion advances to the Division II National Championship May 14-17 at Clinton, Miss.

DMACC is in just its third year of competition in softball under coach Bob Ligouri, former Des Moines East coach, and the Bears are at the district level for the second time. That inaurgural 2012 team advanced to the national tourney.

Rebuilding year Meanwhile, Friday’s competition ended a season of learning for Southwestern’s young team.

Catcher and designated hitter Brooke Wolf was the only player with regional tournament experience for the 2014 Spartans. Sophomore outfielder Molly Schimp had not played since her 10th-grade year. The other Spartan starters, including pitchers Danielle McIntosh and Sam Strand, were all freshmen.

Against Iowa Central Friday, Southwestern fell behind early 2-0. But the Spartans struck for four runs in the second and third innings to take a 4-2 lead that held up until the bottom of the sixth, when the Tritons retook the lead with a three-run burst.

Iowa Central knotted the game on consecutive singles from No. 8 and No. 9 batters Casey-May Huff and Taylor Barnett. Iowa State recruit Sammie Hildreth later plated the decisive run on a groundout to shortstop.

McIntosh took the loss for Southwestern, allowing eight hits and only three earned runs in six innings.

She fanned two and issued four walks.

Ashley Gibbs and Emma F e r i n homered for the Spartans against I o w a Central pitcher Allie Ingalls, who Gibbs improved to 21-7. Sam Strand had two hits. Both teams left seven Please see SOFTBALL, Page 8A

Lauffer was an assistant under Shawn Miller, who resigned to take a position at OABCIG (Ida G r o v e ) Lauffer after the 2012 season. In Miller’s final year at the helm, the Panthers opened the season with a 2-0 victory over Missouri Valley.

Then came 16 straight defeats, including three by one goal.

Last year the Panthers were 0-12, and this season began with seven straight losses — including a 1-0 setback to Kuemper Catholic — before Friday’s triumph.

Friday’s match had a competitive tone from the start, despite the fact Riverside came in 2-5 with wins over AvoHa and Treynor.

While waiting to enter as a substitute, senior Ryan Vasquez turned to an observer and said, “this match is intense!”

Lauffer said watching Hartman’s winning goal from the sideline was a thing of beauty.

Prior to that, so many scrambles in front of the Bulldog net had come up empty.

“It got poked out to her and she was able to hit the shot,” Lauffer said. “It was a beautiful shot.”

For this victory to happen, sophomore Becca Ross had to continue showing progress as goalkeeper, as senior veteran Sadie Jones was w o r k e d Ross into the field lineup recently to inject some energy into the midfield attack.

“Becca really stepped up,” Lauffer said. “She started diving and sliding for the ball.

She has improved significantly in the last two games.”

Solid defense

Indeed, both defenses were stalwart throughout the evening. Riverside managed just one goal on 19 shots (12 on goal) while the Panther attack had 21 shots (16 on goal).

“Toward the end of the first half, and the rest of the game, we started playing with more urgency,” Lauffer said. “We

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

BEDFORD — The Creston girls track team set 16 new personal bests and another five season-best individual performances here on Friday, to go with season best times in five relays, on its way to winning the Bedford Invitational.

The Panthers tallied 151 team points to finish clear of runner-up Underwood’s 120 points. Mount Ayr finished third with 80 points, while Lenox was fifth with 62, East Union was seventh with 38 and Orient-Macksburg finished eighth with eight points.

Creston won five events for the night, including a doublegold performance by junior Maria Mostek in the 3,000 meters and the 1,500 meters.

Her twin sister Natalie Mostek claimed gold in the 800 meters.

Sophomore Amber Castillo, who just last week ran under 18.00 for the first time in her career for the 100 h u r d l e s , Castillo took another full second off her personal best time, winning the race in

16.62.

“She ran great at Carroll and ran under 18 for the first time in her life, then came back and ran under 17,” Creston head coach Clay Arnold said. “She’s sitting pretty good in the conference right now.”

The other first place finish for the Panthers came in the distance medley relay, which featured a strong 2 8 . 4 9 opening carry from Raegen Smith and a personalbest split Smith of 1:02.89

by Chelcee Downing in the 400 meter leg.

“Raegen Smith was awesome,” Arnold said. “She got the nod with that opening leg of the distance medley. She ran a 28. We put Raegen and Chelcee in the open 200 and Raegen ran even faster in the open 200. Then to polish it off, she ran an awesome PR in the 4x400 leadoff leg. She had an excellent night all the way around.”

Smith finished third in the 200 meter dash with a time of 28.09 and Downing was fourth in 28.57.

Taylor wins No. 1 singles title at Atlantic Panther girls edge Clarke, 5-4 n

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

It was a busy tennis weekend for the Creston/O-M tennis teams, with the Panther girls and Clarke boys victorious in dual action Friday, and Creston/O-M senior Garret Taylor winning the No. 1 singles title at the Atlantic Trojan Tournament.

A 10-2 victory by Angie Sorensen and Alli Thomsen at No. 3 doubles provided the margin in a 5-4 win by

the Creston girls Friday in Osceola. Clarke won the two other doubles matches to forge a 4-4 tie after Creston/O-M had won four of the six singles matches.

“This was a good win against Clarke,” said Creston assistant coach Amanda Plymale. “Jenna Taylor, Angie Sorensen, Caitlin McIlravy and Sydney Dunphy had strong wins at 2, 4, 5 and 6 for us in singles. We were up 4-2 and needed just one doubles win. I think we have a great lineup to give Red Oak a challenge on Monday.”

The girls are at home today while the boys travel to

Red Oak. Garret Taylor was the lone Panther winner in the Clarke dual Friday before winning the No. 1 singles title at Atlantic Saturday with three victories. He topped Shenandoah’s Philip Meier, 10-6, in the championship match.

“Garret played very well today,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said. “He was very consistent and that is what you need when you play three matches in the same day. He lost to Meier of Shenandoah on Thursday

Panther boys finish second at Red Oak

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — The Creston boys track team competed with just 13 athletes on its varsity roster here on Friday, but that didn’t stop the Panthers from finishing second with 78 points.

Glenwood won the meet with 127 points, while Harlan finished third with 75 points and Clarinda was fourth with 74 points.

It was Creston’s meet record breaking 4x400 relay team that pushed the Panthers past Harlan into second place in the team standings.

The Creston quartet of Bryce Briley, Maxx Walters, Brandon Phipps and Jay Wolfe ran a three-second season’s best time in the event, running 3:29.42.

That broke the previous meet record set by Riverside in 2004 at 3:31.58.

Wolfe ran a 49.95 anchor leg, winning a tight threeteam battle with Harlan and Glenwood in the final 15 meters of the race.

“The highlight of the meet, you’d have to say was our 4x400,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Everyone ran their leg the right way. We were in the hunt on all four legs. It was between us, Harlan and Glenwood. Coming down to Jay, it was neck and neck, all three anchors were trading back and forth.”

That time also moves the Panthers to within two and a half seconds of the school record in the event.

As a whole, the Panthers finished with 10 placewinners, including five gold medals.

The 4x800 relay team of Briley, Cooper McDermott, Phipps and Wolfe kept its winning streak going with a first place performance of 8:22.20. Aside from the Drake

Relays, that group has not lost a race this season.

Senior Trevor Luther got things started for the Panthers by winning the discus with a toss of 133-6.

It was Lu- Luther ther’s second win in the event this season.

“Trevor Luther has been on a nice hot streak with the discus,” Schlapia said. “That’s nice having those points coming out of the field events.”

Phipps and Wolfe each won individual events, as well.

Phipps led a sweep of the top two spots in the 1,600 meters with a new season best time of 4:36.12, as McDermott finished second in 4:42.22.

Wolfe won the 800 meters with his time of 1:59.03.

McDermott placed fourth in 2:09.75.

Briley took second place in the 400 meter dash with a season best time of 52.25.

Walters earned a pair of individual medals, running 23.62 for third place in the 200 meters and 11.79 for fifth place in the 100 meter dash.

“Saying it was an outstanding team effort is an understatement,” Schlapia said.

“We’ve been improving each meet, and I would say this was our best team effort by far.

The month of May is when we want to be peaking. This was a good step up, leading into the next two to three weeks.”

The Panthers are off until they host the Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet on Thursday. Events begin at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
