Creston man certified through SWCC program Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series on GAP and PACE funding and students at SWCC. By BAILEY POOLMAN

Justin Hornyak of Creston did what was expected of people today: after school he went to college to earn his degree. But, Hornyak’s journey was not the run-of-themill college story. Instead, he earned his GED and college certification in the same year.

Certification Hornyak, 28, earned his GED in Creston in 2013. He then started college at Southwestern Community College the same year, working toward a degree in psychology. Hornyak “I started to get my degree in psychology,” Hornyak said. “They were making me do an Associ-

ate of Art, which was a two-year course, and I ended up having a baby, so that kind of stopped it.” Hornyak and his wife, Danika, had a daughter in December 2013. Aurora is seven months old.

‘Rude awakening’ After his daughter was born, college became difficult. Hornyak quit and got a job at Lakeside Casino in Osceola. “It was pretty bad working at the casino,” Hornyak said. “The people were great, I loved the staff. But, to drive back and forth

from here to Osceola for 12-hour shifts, for $9.07 an hour, that wasn’t worth it. And, it was such a strain.” It was a rude awakening for him when he realized he did not want to work at the casino for the rest of his life. “I wanted something better,” Hornyak said. “It was a really rude awakening. I counted the money for the casino, and they only paid their employees $9.07 an hour, and I got to see $900,000 on a table in front of me. ‘Well, this isn’t fair,’ I

said. So, I decided I wanted to do something more, something better, something worth working for.” Hornyak received a flyer at Southern Prairie YMCA with information about a 24-hour welding class at SWCC. “I was all over that because welders get paid really well and they’re high demand, so I did that,” Hornyak said. “That’s when I was introduced to Kelsey at the GAP program.” Please see GAP, Page 2

Bevins said the Republibecause of a can party wanted use of both “scheduling gymnasiums — high school conflict.” and middle school — as well as classrooms. Bevins said carpet is currently being replaced at the classrooms at the high school. “It just wasn’t going to work,” Bevins said. “Our school gymnasiums do not shut down in the summer. We have all sorts of activities happening.” Now, more than 500 delegates will flood Urbandale June 21 to nominate their candidate for U.S. House. The reason for this special nomination convention is no candidate received the necessary 35 percent of the vote during the primary election earlier this month. In the primary, candidate Brad Zaun received 24.7 percent of the vote and Robert Cramer and Matt Schultz were close behind with 21.2 and 20.1 percent, respectively. Other candidates in this race are David Young, Monte Shaw and Joe Grandanette. The nominee will face Democrat Staci Appel this fall in the general election.

to raise awareness and funds for Brain Injury Association of America. In the process of running more than 3,500 miles, Goldman is attempting to break the women’s trans-American run record, currently held by Mavis Hutchinson, who completed the distance in 69 days, two hours and 40 minutes in 1978. Goldman is no stranger to this type of endeavor. She completed a coast to coast venture from California to New Hampshire in 1995 on her bicycle. “I will be the second woman in history to do this running solo,” said Goldman. Goldman, who is crossing the United States on foot opted out of having a team of people and a support vehicle and instead pushes a 50 pound cart filled with changes of clothes, food and water. “I’ve got everything I need right here,” said Goldman. However, a road closure on east bound Highway 34 forced her to take a detour through Lenox, which she said made for a very painful experience. “The worst was the bridge detour,” said Goldman. “There was no shoulder.” The four mile detour left Goldman “sloshing around in the gravel” as her cart “fishtailed” around. She said her socks got wet and damaged resulting in loss of skin and blisters on her feet.

“I’m sunburned, dehydrated and exhausted,” Goldman said. But, that doesn’t stop her from running 40 to 55 miles a day to get where she’s going. Aside from her followers on Facebook, friends and family, she said it’s the support of passersby who have kept her going. “I had someone take me to dinner last night (Michelle and Larry Hicks of Creston) and someone bring me athletic socks (Jill Keubler Hoakison of Ankeny) and water (Chris Cole of Corning),” said Goldman. As she took off to continue her run toward Osceola, Goldman exclaimed, “Creston rocks!”

At the beginning of the February course, Hornyak went to the continuing education office for more information on funding. He was referred to Kelsey Hollen, pathway navigator for the GAP and PACE programs at SWCC. GAP and PACE GAP and PACE programs are state funding to create programs for community colleges to aid students with financial difficulties in receiving certifications in certain areas. Certifications include CNA, paramedic and welding certifications. Hollen spoke with Hornyak about continuing his education after the twoweek course. “I thought she meant getting a degree in welding. I was like, ‘That didn’t work out the first time,’” Hornyak said. “She told me I could get my national certification, which would be however long the instructor decided.” Hornyak started a threemonth certification practice in March. Passing the test means the student will be certified nationally, and be able to weld anywhere in the United States. “You got to pass a test, and they X-ray it, and if there’s one slight hole in your weld, they’ll fail you,” Hornyak said. “You have to be that pristine on your weld.” Hornyak passed the test, and soon after interviewed for a welding position at a company in Corning. Hornyak’s first day at the job is today. GAP and PACE funding aided Hornyak by helping pay for welding equipment needed for the three-month certification course, and helping with transportation to classes and job interviews. “Just knowing that I’m covered in every corner is a pretty good feeling,” Hornyak said. “Not so much stress in finding a job as usual.” Hollen was also part of helping Hornyak learn to put together a resumé, with help at Iowa Workforce

Development. Prepared to continue Hornyak said he feels prepared now for his new job and anything in the future. During his 24-hour course, he learned welding techniques he will do at his new job. And, while he was working on his resumé, he earned his national career readiness certificate through Iowa Workforce Development, 215 N. Elm St. “I would like a college degree in welding, that would be pretty nice,” Hornyak said. “In consideration, it’s not going to happen instantly, or within months, or maybe not even years.” But, welding is a step in the direction Hornyak wants to go. That direction is blacksmithing. Blacksmithing is the art of creating objects from wrought iron or steel using tools to hammer, bend and cut. “It’s always been my dream job to make swords. Everybody likes swords,” Hornyak said. “If you can get your job off the ground, there’s a lot of promise in it. Renaissance fairs, flea markets, pawn shops, collectors, you can’t go wrong with it. So, the welding thing is just a step ahead.” Hornyak said he had one bit of advice for those who wanted to change their current situation but didn’t know how. “Get ahold of Kelsey,” Hornyak said. “I didn’t really think my life could get this far. And, here I am. I’m going to be a welder. I never, never once thought I would take up a job in welding, and here I am. I’m going to be a welder. I plan on continuing this career as long as possible, until my dream goal is met.” For more information, contact Hollen at 641-7821417 or hollen@swcciowa. edu.

Count your blessings and help someone less fortunate.” — A Reader, via email That can be frustrating to see, but you never know if there is a reason they threw out the items, instead of donating them.

Horoscope Tuesday, June 10, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a curious day. First, you are worried about finances. “I’m broke!” Then later in the day, you receive financial benefits. “I’m rich!” TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with partners and close friends will discourage you today. Nevertheless, by evening, you are laughing and having a good time. Go figure. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) An authority figure at work or someone older might criticize you. Don’t let this get you down. Late in the day, work-related travel or something positive will occur. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your responsibilities with children might be onerous today. However, by evening, social occasions, fun escapes and playful times with kids will turn your day around. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) An older family member might be critical today. Or something seems to weigh heavily on your mind. Fear not, because by evening, you are happy again. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t let yourself be sidetracked with worries today. And don’t let negative people put you down. By evening, you will feel upbeat and happy. Courage! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your financial scene looks discouraging today, no doubt about it. Nevertheless, for some reason, by evening, you see moneymaking possibilities, and you feel much better about everything. Ka-ching! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, lined up with stern Saturn. This is serious and depressing. But late in the day, it dances with lucky Jupiter and blows the clouds away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Solitude and loneliness may be part of your dayto-day. Fear not, because this is a brief passing cloud on your horizon. By evening, you’re laughing again. Life is like that, isn’t it? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone older or more experienced than you might be critical of you today. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Fortunately, by evening, all is forgotten. No need to react.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do not ask authority figures (bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs or the police) for permission or a favor today. Their reply will be, “Talk to the hand.” However, by evening, they are receptive. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Plans with travel, higher education, publishing and the media might look grim today. Just wait, because by this evening, you see a way through the clouds. YOU BORN TODAY You are

talented, capable and bravely face the challenges that life throws at you — along with its blessings. You often are attracted to the mysterious, dark side. You work hard to create the kind of environment you want around you. You are down-to-earth and human. This year a major change might take place, perhaps as significant as whatever occurred around 2005. Be bold! (c) 2014 King Syndicate, Inc.

SPORTS The Numbers Game

The Heat have won at least one road game in 16 consecutive playoff series, an NBA record.

National Digest

Miami rebounds SAN ANTONIO — LeBron James had 35 points and 10 rebounds in a powerful comeback from the cramps that knocked him out of the opener, as the Miami Heat tied the NBA Finals with a 98-96 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 Sunday night. Chris Bosh made the goahead 3-pointer on a pass from James with 1:18 remaining for the Heat, who have won 13 straight following a loss in the postseason. Just like last year, they rebounded after losing Game 1 to the Spurs. Bosh had 18 points for the Heat, who are headed home for Game 3 Tuesday night. James played more than 37 minutes, making 14 of 22 shots. He was 1 for 4 with three turnovers in a shaky first quarter, then made 11 of his next 13.

Ninth title PARIS — Trying to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open is, without a doubt, the toughest task in tennis. The pressure he applies, from set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot. That bullwhip of a high-bouncing, topspin lefty forehand. Those quick-reflex returns that help him break an opponent’s serve —and his will. Doing what he does so well on the red clay of Roland Garros, a surface and site he dominates so completely, the No. 1-seeded Nadal wore down No. 2 Novak Djokovic 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 Sunday to win his ninth French Open championship and fifth in a row, both records.

Earnhardt wins LONG POND, Pa. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. turned Brad Keselowski’s trash into Victory Lane treasure, pulling away down the stretch Sunday at Pocono Raceway for his second win of the season and a secured spot in the Chase field. He paired his first career win at Pocono with his Daytona 500 championship for his first multi-win season since 2004. For as strong as he ran in the No. 88 Chevrolet, Keselowski gift-wrapped this win when he yielded the lead with five laps left in a desperate attempt to clear debris from his grille and cool his overheated engine. Keselowski’s gamble backfired - he couldn’t get the draft needed from the lapped traffic to clear his car and make one final pass for the win on Earnhardt.

D-back arrested IOWA CITY — Iowa football player Nicholas “Nico” Law was charged with disorderly conductSaturday. Law, 21, was cited at about 1:45 in front of Pancheros at the intersection of Clinton and Washington streets in Iowa City, according to a police complaint. The complaint states that police interviewed witnesses on the scene who said an assailant jumped a male victim, punched him, tackled him and then kicked him while he was on the ground.

Ceremony to honor Panther baseball league champs Belger’s SE Polk team part of festivities By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

“I think it’s simply that we didn’t think anybody could beat us.” That’s how Mike Linch remembers the golden era of Creston High School baseball, the start of a five- Linch year run of conference championships in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which included an agonizing 4-3 defeat in the 1990 state championship game. Those teams were part of a 21-year tenure for Vic Belger as head baseball coach. For many of those years, CHS graduate Dave Hartman was his assistant. Other assistants during the run were Dave Loos and Mike Gerleman. On Wednesday, Belger’s oldest son, Scott, will bring

Douma named Creston girls basketball coach By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Brent Douma will be making the transition from boys basketball to girls basketball. Creston activities director Jeff Bevins announced over the weekend that Douma has been selected to be the next head girls basketball coach of the Creston Panthers, replacing Larry McNutt, who is taking over the head boys position at BCLUW. “It’s really exciting and to do it in a place like Creston is really exciting for me,” Douma said about making his return to a head coaching position. “Just really looking forward to getting to work with the girls.”

Douma has spent the past seven years as the assistant boys basketball coach at Glenwood. Prior to that, Douma was the head coach for Clarinda. In Clarinda, Douma won a Hawkeye 10 Conference championship and took the Cardinals to the state t o u r n a - Douma ment. “At Clarinda, we won the Hawkeye 10 one year while I was there and we did go to state while I was there, so we had some nice teams there,” he said. “It was fun to coach there. The last several years, I’ve been the assistant with the boys program at Glen-

wood. But this is fun to be able to get back to this.” Douma, who will also work in the Creston School District as a 7th-grade math teacher, made the trip to Creston on Sunday for summer league games to have an opportunity to meet the girls he will be coaching next year. “I’ve met a few of the parents,” Douma said. “I know coach McNutt had nothing but great things to say about everybody.” Creston offered some familiarity for Douma, which was part of the reason why the coaching vacancy appealed to him. “I know some of the administration here and they’re good guys,” he said. “I’ve actually worked with Bill Messerole previously,

and I actually know coach McNutt from several years ago, too. I just have always thought highly of Creston.” Douma hopes to bring an exciting brand of basketball to Creston. “I like to get up and down as much as possible, if the personnel is there,” he said. “I like to shoot a lot of threes. Just being aggressive and playing together, working together on both the offensive and the defensive end of the floor. Just try to play an exciting brand of basketball that hopefully everybody enjoys.” The Douma name may sound familiar to fans of Creston basketball. His younger brother, Craig, is the head men’s basketball coach at Central College, where he coached

former Panther players Spencer Bakerink and Colby Taylor. Basketball coaching runs in the Douma family. “When I played in college a long time ago, I played for my father,” Douma said. “Basketball is kind of in our genes. Those were good times playing for dad.” Douma played guard for Northwestern College in Orange City. He’s excited to get to work with the Creston team. “I think there’s a lot of potential here,” he said. “I know there’s fantastic girls to work with and I think it’s really something we can keep building on and become one of the powers in the Hawkeye 10. You don’t know how much I’m looking forward to this.”

Panther boys track celebrates ‘special season’ State golf should become

Creston head boys track coach Pat Schlapia had plenty to celebrate at the team’s postseason awards banquet Sunday afternoon in the Creston High School commons. The 2014 season included a state champion and Drake Relays runner-up in junior Jay Wolfe, three new school records, five boys earning state meet medals and that group of five boys placing 15th in the state as a team. And, with just 18 boys on the roster, the Creston team finished in the top half of every meet this season with the exception of the Ballard meet, where athletes were limited to two events in the buildup to the Drake Relays. “It was a special season

for all of us,” Schlapia said. “We finished with 18 boys participating on the team. I tell you what, it was 18 special boys. Coach (Steve) Birchard and I were tickled to death to be involved with these 18 boys. It wasn’t a job to be working with these boys.” Five senior boys were celebrated for what they’ve accomplished as part of the Creston track program. Seniors were Trevor Luther, Evan Nielsen, Brandon Phipps, Maxx Walters and manager Jon Birchard. “These boys here, as seniors, you guys have left your mark,” Schlapia said. “No matter where you go and what you end up doing, you guys are going to be a part of this. Coach and I will be telling stories about you guys. You’re part of this family.” Phipps and Walters both ended their careers earning

state meet medals, and both finish with their names on the school’s record board in two different events. Phipps is a part of the 4x800 relay and 4x400 relay records, while Walters is part of the shuttle hurdle relay and 4x400 relay records. The Panther broke school records this season in the 4x800 relay, the 4x400 relay and the 800 meters. After the 4x800 relay record stood untouched for 35 years, it has now been broken each of the past two years. Joining Phipps and Walters as part of the five-man state meet team were juniors Wolfe and Bryce Briley and sophomore Cooper McDermott. Wolfe was also named elite all-state by the Iowa Track Coaches Please see TRACK, page 8A

A successful 2014 Creston/Orient-Macksburg golf season was celebrated Sunday in a brief, informal postseason dessert banquet at Crestmoor Golf Club. Among the highlights noted by head coach Jan Lesan was the state runner-up finish by the Panther boys team, one year after many of the same players were part of a Class 3A championship. Seniors Carson Whittington and Hunter Sickels; juniors Christian Groumoutis,

Sam Hartsock and Coleton Hoepker; and freshman Kyle Somers formed the postseason lineup that survived sectional (third place) and district (runner-up by one stroke) competition to make it back to Ames Golf and Country Club for state tournament play. Different players sparked the team along each step, which Lesan said made it a pleasure to watch them compete. “I can’t say enough about these guys,” Lesan said. “It’s Please see GOLF, page 6A

Seniors from the Creston/O-M golf team honored at Sunday’s postseason banquet at Crestmoor Golf Club are, from left, Hunter Sickels and Carson Whittington. They were part of a Class 3A state championship team in 2013 and state runner-up team this year. Whittington was a four-time state placewinner, including an individual state title in 2013. Other seniors not pictured are Evan Nielsen, Maxx Walters, Sarah Waigand and Ryan Vasquez.

a bunch of guys who live this game. I never once had to push anybody to come out to this course and practice. It didn’t matter what weather we were having. They’d be out there. They went out and competed and relied on each other. It truly was a team.” The leader was Whittington, a four-time placewinner who won the 3A individual title as a junior. However, an example of Lesan’s comments about helping each other came about when the Panthers won their third straight Hawkeye 10 crown at Denison. Whittington was unable to play at the last minute because of illness. Hartsock stepped into the lineup and paced the Panthers with a fourth-place round of 75 as Creston/O-M beat Harlan by seven strokes with a score of 308. Four Panthers placed in

the top nine of that tournament, without Whittington. Many times, Creston/OM’s JV outscored an opponent’s varsity in dual meets. At the state tournament, Hoepker and Groumoutis improved by a combined six strokes from the opening day as the Panthers held off Webster City for second place by two strokes. “That’s what makes a team,” Lesan said. Whittington (Kirkwood Community College) and Sickels (Central College) are planning to continue their careers. Other seniors were Evan Nielsen and Maxx Walters. The four returning state meet players plus junior letterman Jaaron Kautz and freshman Michael Stults return in 2015.

Girls season The girls team also had different leaders throughout the season. In the post-

season it was sophomore Madison Hance, who tied for medalist at the Oskaloosa regional with an 87 to qualify for the girls state tournament. Another sophomore, Camryn Somers, was only three strokes off state qualification with a 91. At state, Hance tied for 31st in Class 4A with rounds of 101 and 98 for a total score of 199. The Panther girls were fourth at the Hawkeye 10 Tournament, led by Hance in 11th place with a 93. It was a tough conference, with Atlantic and Kuemper Catholic finishing first and second in the 3A state tourney. Sarah Waigand, a leader for the Panthers in several early meets, and Ryan Vasquez were the lone seniors on a girls team that’s also building for success, Lesan said. Returnees besides Somers and Hance include junior Hannah Hagle and sophomore Shelby

Palser. If incoming freshmen or new recruits can fill out the roster, Lesan sees a bright future for both the girls and boys teams. “We have a lot of talent coming back for the boys team and we anticipate being back at state,” Lesan said. “For the girls, we’d like to get there as a team, as well. We want both groups competing at that level.” The last Creston girls team to play at state was in 1999, when Leanne Owens took sixth place individually. She went on to play at Iowa State and now coaches the Drake University women’s team. A year later, Heidi Calvin represented the Panthers at state. That was the last Panther girl at state before Hance’s performance this year. Lesan said there is an opportunity this summer to continue working with Mark Egly of Des Moines

BASEBALL: Continued from page 5A

Linch (Arnold Motor Supply). Other sponsors are Chuck Irelan (Hy-Vee), T.J. and Todd Stalker (Stalker Chevrolet), Rich Paulsen (Creston News Advertiser) and Chad Rieck (KSIB Radio). All of the honored players and their immediate families will be admitted free to Wednesday’s festivities. Fun facts and a trivia contest related to Panther baseball history will be conducted between innings.

Silver anniversary It has been 25 years since the 1989 team began that run of league championships. Birchard said it’s an appropriate time to pay homage to a special time in Creston High School athletic history. “My college team (Southern Arkansas) had a 25-year reunion,” Birchard said, “and I thought it might be fun to have it not just for one year’s team, but after I saw that we’d won the conference five years in a row, why not include all of them? A lot of the same guys were on several of those teams, with the overlap. And, I thought it might be a motivational thing for our guys, and the kids coming up.” Vic Belger ranks seventh on the state’s all-time career wins list with a record of 920-319 at Creston and three other schools. He retired as Creston’s coach after the 2003 season. Belger said he looks forward to the “homecoming” and a chance to see many of his former players. “It sounds like a good idea,” Belger said. “I was glad Steve did that, getting the guys back together. I

haven’t seen them much at all.” It wasn’t just a five-year era that excelled, either. For example, the teams on each side of that run were outstanding in their own right. The 1988 team was 31-8 and set a school victory record at the time. The 1994 team was 32-7, 7-2 in the league, and had three all-state players. For the better part of a decade, Creston was the pinnacle of Hawkeye Eight — prior to the addition of Carroll Kuemper Catholic and Denison-Schleswig — along with 4A power Lewis Central and Harlan, like Creston, bouncing back and forth from 3A and 4A. One year after the Panthers went 39-4 and 14-0 in the league as state runnerup in 1990, Creston was placed in Class 4A for two years. Despite heavy graduation losses that included the likes of all-staters Scott Belger, Scott Driskell and three other starters, that 1991 team won a staterecord 41 games in a row after beginning the season 1-1. They were not derailed until meeting Des Moines East in a substate final at Urbandale. Vic’s youngest son, Kurt, was a member of four of those five conference title teams, including the 1989-1992 teams. He went on to set a Big Ten saves record as a relief pitcher at the University of Iowa. Driskell, whose eighthgrade son Jaden now plays in the Creston program and will face the BelgerHartman ballclub Wednesday, recalls the Panthers being 152-18 during his four years of high school. Winning was ingrained in the system.

“I think it’s a great idea to honor the tradition and history this way,” Driskell said. “Especially with coach Belger coming back to be a part of it.” Losing wasn’t an option, back in those days, Driskell said. “I didn’t know any different,” he said. “Our little league system had strong coaches with a lot of competitive teams. T h e n , Driskell with Belger and Hartman coaching, you knew it was something important. When the coaches make you feel it’s important, you want to be a part of that.” Nobody questioned coach Belger’s intensity and competitive drive. It was instilled in his players. “I think it was his mental toughness,” Driskell said. “He knew his baseball, and Dave Hartman was just as good with the fundamentals. Coach was intense and had high expectations. And we had depth, good kids behind us pushing us. If you weren’t where you were supposed to be on the field at any given time, you just might get a chance to sit on the bench and watch someone else give it a try.” Pickoff moves, backing up bases, hitting cutoff men and making the correct throw. All of those things were part of the Creston baseball brand, as well as a relentless hitting attack. Streaks like that require some comebacks, and if the Panthers trailed in a game, they always felt a rally was in the offing.

game admitted to him that “he (plate ump) froze. You guys should have won.” “Those guys were two of the best umpires in the game, and they still work some games,” Driskell said. “It was just one of those things. You really don’t appreciate what we accomplished until later when you look back on it. Heck, we won 40 games one year, and the next year’s team broke our winning streak record. That team still had Kurt on it. I think they’d have had a great shot at a state title if they weren’t pushed up to 4A.” The 1989 team was 40-4 and ranked No. 1 in the state for five weeks. But there was a substate loss to a Council Bluffs St. Albert team that featured Brian O’Conner, who went on to pitch at Creighton University and now is the successful coach of the University of Virginia baseball team. That era of Panthers missed a football playoff berth on a coin toss after an upset loss to Shenandoah, and got sidelined twice in substate basketball by eventual state champions St. Albert and Pella Christian. There was some hard luck mixed in with the incredible success.

SEP connections Still, Scott Belger looks back on it with pride, and said he draws “rolling eyeballs” when he and Hartman begin another story of past Creston success when talking to their current Southeast Polk players. And now, one of his Panther teammates, former Ottumwa coach Ryan Woods, is an elementary principal at Southeast

Polk. “I couldn’t imagine doing what we did, in our (CIML) conference, against the likes of Valley and Ankeny and Dowling,” Scott Belger said. “It just doesn’t happen like that. But back then, I didn’t expect anything different. It was the culture of our program. We expected to win.” Scott said his father was demanding and provided a good baseball foundation. It was a tradition. “The teams right ahead of us were good, too,” Scott said, “with Tim Somers and the Eaton brothers. LC was dominant for awhile, too, but we were always competitive.” “When I first got to Creston it impressed me that it was a strong baseball town,” Vic Belger said. “They had just opened those (Bill Sears Memorial) little league fields down there, and there was a lot of interest. The Babe Ruth age group (grades 7-9) had six to eight teams playing at McKinley. There was a lot of athletic interest and the kids wanted to play. We didn’t have to worry about numbers. We’d get 40 to 50 kids coming out for the freshman team from the eighth and ninth grades.” Belger said even when there was turnover on the roster, the winning continued. “I remember Pat McDonald and Cory Hightshoe and that group, they really hadn’t played much varsity until their senior year,” Belger said. “They thought they were going to win, just like everyone else. I started to believe it, too!”

Rallies

Creston baseball capsules Capsules of Creston’s five consecutive conference champion baseball teams to be honored at Wednesday’s home game against Southeast Polk, coached by former Panther all-stater Scott Belger and Dave Hartman, who assisted Vic Belger on those champion teams:

“We just knew we were going to win,” Driskell said. “I remember one year Stuart-Menlo had a good team, and with one out in the bottom of the last inning we came back to win it on a grand slam by Chad Willets to win by one. Aaron Spainhower was our number nine batter, and he could hit a ball farther than any kid I saw all year. We had such great depth, we just felt we were always ready to strike with a big rally.” One time when they didn’t quite score enough when needed was the 1990 title game in a one-run loss to Spencer. The Panthers led 3-2 with Driskell still on the mound in the bottom of the seventh. As he tired and with runners on base, sophomore Kurt Belger was brought in with one out. A “phantom third strike” that wasn’t called, right at the knees across the plate, with two outs came back to haunt the Panthers. Driskell, now playing first base, was so sure it was a called third strike when he saw the pitch, that he tossed his glove in the air thinking he’d just won a state championship. Instead, that batter drew a walk, and the next batter blooped a two-run single over his head into shallow right field as Spencer walked off with a 4-3 victory. That era of Creston baseball may be one of the best athletic programs in state history to not own a championship. Yet, a base umpire from that game who later saw Driskell at a high school basketball

Association in the 800 meters. All five athletes earned state meet medals, as the Panthers finished 15th with 19 team points, ahead of all the other Hawkeye 10 Conference teams and every other team from the Atlantic State Qualifying Meet. “This is probably the best we’ve done as a team in many, many years,” Schlapia said. “This is probably the most medals we’ve ever come back with as a Creston team. We’ve had some great individuals. You look at what we had this year with five guys, we ended up 15th place. I tell you what, that was awesome. Every event we were in, we medaled. I don’t think we’ve ever had that happen.” Schlapia noted from 800 meter state champion Wolfe to those who were just looking to improve on their personal bests, every person on the team was part of the family. “There from the get-go, we talked about family on

this track team,” he said. “Everybody was a part of this team. It was neat to see everybody supporting each other, no matter what event we were in. Everybody was pulling for each other. That’s one thing that made this team special.” As special as this season was for the Creston boys track team, Schlapia said it just raised the bar for next year. “We had a lot of high expectations going into the season,” he said. “We exceeded those expectations and we’ll have higher expectations going into next year.”

Iowa rock hall of famers coming to Warren Center GREENFIELD — Good times rock ‘n’ roll comes to the Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield when Hot Rod – Chevy Kevy takes the stage 7 p.m. June 14. Inducted last year into the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, the band has played gigs all over Iowa and the Midwest, including the Iowa State Fair and Surf Ballroom. They’ve opened for a long list of rock notables, including playing with Chuck Berry in the Metrodome. Tickets for the concert are on sale now at Ed & Eva’s art store, 154 Public Square, Greenfield, 641743-2566, and online at warrenculturalcenter.com. All seats are $15; auditorium doors open at 6:15 p.m. A special pre-show party is being planned. Beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks will be available. Rod “Hot Rod” Jerke and Kevin “Chevy Kevy” King both call Sioux Falls, S.D., their hometown and started playing in bands when they were in the eighth grade. In 1982 they formed a six-piece show group called Night people, which became one of the top club acts in the region. Some time later they started focusing on what worked best for them –

‘50s and ‘60s rock – and put together what’s become a popular routine – their tribute to the Blues Brothers. A name change for the band, reflecting the fact that they were playing a number of car shows, came soon after. Hot Rod - Chevy Kevy went on to play more than 3,000 gigs before disbanding in 2000. They appeared with headliners such as Chuck Berry, Lou Christie, The Crytals, The Drifters, Leslie Gore, Tommy Roe, Del Shannon and Bobby Vee, as well as headlining many of their own shows. They’ve been regulars at the state fair’s annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Reunion concert, and at many festivals and corporate events, including an appearance at Walt Disney World.

Hot Rod – Chevy Kevy was inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, recognizing their careers that spanned 20 years together and continue with reunion gigs today. Look for the band on Facebook and YouTube. The Flag Day concert is sponsored by Fontanelle Drug, David L. Jungmann, First National Bank, Hotel Greenfield; Fisher, Fisher, Groetken, Adair; and Union State Bank.
