Party in McKinley Park scheduled Saturday

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

Prepare yourself for the “ultimate” Party in the Park Saturday.

This year’s Party in the Park will pay homage to some of the most popular bands of the 1970s — The Eagles, Heart and Journey.

Performing the rock music written by the Eagles, such as “Take it Easy,” “Hotel California” and “I Can’t Tell You Why,” is 7 Bridges: the Ultimate Eagles Experience.

7 Bridges, a six-piece Eagles tribute band, is a national touring act based out of Nashville, Tenn.

The band describes themselves as “a tour de force of talent combining incredible musicianship, vocal precision and a stage presence that has garnered them nationwide acclaim.”

The band features Jason Manning as Glenn Frey, Keith Thoma as Don Henley, Bryan Graves as Randy Meisner/Timothy B. Schmit, Tony Haan Jr. as Joe Walsh, Blake Hall as Don Felder, and Vernon Roop as Joe Vitale.

Opening Taking on the sound and stylings of Canadian based rock band Heart is Change of Heart: a Heart Tribute Band, based in Kansas City, Mo. The real life sisters in Change of Heart will take the audience on a musical tour of Hearts original hits of the 1970s and 1980s, such as “Barracuda,” “Magic Man” and “These Dreams.”

Also performing is Revelation: a tribute to Journey, of Kansas City, Mo.

According to their website, Revelation “started from the love and respect for the musicians that make up one of the best bands out of California, Journey.”

Revelation will perform Journey’s top hits that have endured the decades, such as “Don’t Stop Believin’, “Only the Young,” and “Faithfully.”

Ticket info Party in the Park will be at 6 p.m.

DNR lifts boil order in Murray MURRAY — A boil advisory for the city of Murray in Clarke County has been lifted.

The advisory was issued for portions of the city north of Fifth Street following a water main break Wednesday. The break caused a loss of water pressure which can potentially allow bacteria to enter the system.

The line has since been repaired and two separate water samples indicate the water is safe to drink.

About 100 attend Flag Day ceremony at Creston Elk’s Lodge #605 that includes a gun salute, playing of “Taps” and keynote speech from Dave Neeley.

News Advertiser reveals new masthead Today, readers will notice a new masthead atop the Creston News Advertiser front page. This new masthead is the collaborative effort of three on-staff designers each with the aim of freshening the appearance of our front page.

This design process — which received feedback from CNA department heads and various staff — took about 30 days. The new masthead is the second modernization of content since March when Throwback Thursday was implemented.

That popular feature — compiled by CNA Newsroom Assistant Courtney Dake — runs each Thursday on page 2A and includes vintage news items and photos from the area from 5, 10, 20 and 50 years ago in history.

Today, readers will also notice an updated design at the bottom of today’s front page. That area now has an easy-read weather report with modernized weather icons.

How student debt is hurting the housing market Progress has been slow, but existing-home sales nationwide started to move upward in April, by 1.3 percent, according to figures released on May 22 by the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

But first-time homebuyers haven’t been part of that good news.

According to an annual survey by the NAR, the percentage of first-time homebuyers slipped to 38 percent of the market share — down from 39 percent in 2012. In 1981, four out of 10 purchases were first-time buyers.

Experts believe many factors are contributing to this decline — the high unemployment rate, young adults’ desire to live in a more urban setting and high loads of student debt. They have become, in effect, risk adverse.

Data from the Federal Reserve shows that in 2012, young people with student debt had lower homeownership rates than people without student debt — which wasn’t the case in the nine years before.

Student debt nationwide has topped $1 trillion, while entry level wages have fallen by 5.4 percent over the past decade, according to the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C.based think tank.

This has some fearing that young adults are having a hard time qualifying for mortgages and saving for down payments.

“Historically first-time buyers are instrumental in housing recoveries because they help existing homeowners sell and make a trade,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the NAR, said in November.

A compounding problem Randy Henkle, senior vice president of loan production for Iowa Bankers Mortgage Corp., said that while student loans can help establish credit over the

Caring for

long-run, they also can hurt graduates’ mortgage applications in the short-term.

“It’s significantly different from five years ago — if you had deferment, it didn’t count as debt,” he said. “But that’s changed.”

Now if a graduate applies for a mortgage and has taken out student loans, a bank assumes that the applicant is making loan payments — even if he or she isn’t. And that can mean the applicant is a liability.

“A tighter credit box exists today, too,” Henkle said.

Compounding this problem is that graduates often don’t have much in savings, he said, because they are paying down students loans and not saving for a down payment.

“It slows down the housing market,” he said. “And when entry level buyers aren’t buying, then there’s not as many repeat buyers. It’s a chain reaction.”

It’s not uncommon for students to graduate with $40,000 or $50,000 worth of debt, he said.

“I’ve seen people with as much as $250,000 in loans,” he said.

According to a December 2013 report by the Project on Student Debt, an initiative run by the Institute for College Access and Success notfor-profit, seven in 10 college seniors in who graduated in 2012 had student loan debt, with an average of $29,400 per borrower.

Iowa closely mirrors the nation’s percentages, with 71 percent of students graduating with student loans that average $29,456.

From 2008 to 2012, the combination of debt at graduation, the amount of federal and private loans increased an average of six percent each year.

Busy businesses Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about trying to get through to businesses on the phone: “My Sound Off is when you finally get through to a business on the phone, only to be told ‘All operators are busy now; please hang up and call again later.’” — A Reader in Texas That can be frustrating!

Unfortunately, it is something we all have to deal with at times. Try calling at nonpeak hours, like after lunch, to see if that helps you get through a little more easily.

Turn each piece inside-out before washing. For shirts, rub a little full-strength laundry detergent into the armpit area. Put the clothes into the washer, but don’t cram it full; the clothing won’t rinse clean if the washer is too full. Use a lot of water and rinse a second time, then air-dry. After washing, smell the clothes.

If they still stink, pour vinegar onto the smelly area.

Point differential for the Spurs in the NBA Finals, the largest for any team in NBA Finals history.

National Digest

Spurs win SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, the winningest trio in NBA postseason history, shared hugs.

Players wrapped themselves in flags from around world, a reminder that the San Antonio Spurs look far beyond the border to build champions, as confetti fell from above.

Painfully denied 12 months ago by the Miami Heat, this victory party was worth the wait.

The Spurs finished off a dominant run to their fifth NBA championship Sunday night, ending the Heat’s two-year title reign with a 104-87 victory that wrapped up the series in five games.

San Antonio erased an early 16-point deficit and routed Miami for the fourth time in the series, denying the Heat’s quest for a third straight championship. A year after the Spurs suffered their only loss in six finals appearances — a heartbreaking seven-game defeat — they turned the rematch into no match at all.

Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who added this title to the ones they won in 1999, 2003, ‘05 and ‘07.

They nearly had another last year, but couldn’t hold off the Heat.

Panthers finish 2-2 at John Stephens Classic to the Cardinals while walking three and striking out none.

Natalie Mostek, Shelby Palser and Alyssa Higgins all drove in one run in the win.

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston softball team polished off the 2014 edition of the home John Stephens Softball Classic here Saturday with an 11-1 win over Treynor, pulling the Panthers to an even 2-2 for the weekend.

Creston split its games on both days of the two-day tournament, beating Griswold and losing to Ankeny on Friday, before losing to Bondurant-Farrar and topping Treynor on Saturday.

The Panthers now stand 8-6 for the season with a conference mark of 5-3, as they head into a busy week of Hawkeye 10 games.

Tough competition

Power surge The final game of the John Stephens Softball Classic was a game to remember for Creston sophomore Jami Sickels.

Sickels won Player of the G a m e honors by going 2-for-2 at the plate with a double, a three-run home run Ja. Sickels to left field and five total runs batted in.

In Creston’s four games over the weekend, Sickels finished 6-11 with six runs scored

and five RBI. “A big ballgame from Jami down there,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said.

“She’s hitting the heck out of

the ball, having a great sophomore year for us. We were kind of kidding, I told her ‘Don’t get too excited, it was a 50 mile per hour wind!’ It was

a good way to end the night.”

It punctuated a solid game overall for the Panthers.

Junior pitcher Haylee LaMasters allowed just two hits

The Panthers lost a pair of 6-2 games to strong teams from Ankeny and Bondurant-Farrar, which is ranked second in Class 3A. Still, McCabe was proud of the way his team battled in those losses.

“Against Ankeny, I was pleased with the way we competed and played,” he said. “I think we had six hits, but also had five errors. A little disappointed in a couple of things we didn’t handle and react to.

That’s why you play teams like that, so that you get in those situations.”

LaMasters walked one with no strikeouts in the Ankeny loss, giving up seven hits. Higgins drove in both runs for Creston, earning Player of the Game honors.

“All in all, I thought Haylee threw well against a goodhitting ballclub,” McCabe said. “Hopefully you get better by playing those types of people.”

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

Freshman Chase Shiltz produced Creston’s third straight complete game on

the mound and a sharp defense played behind him in a 6-1 victory over Atlantic Friday night at Panther Field.

Following the complete games of Cole Crawford and

Brandon Phipps in a doubleheader split at Carroll Kuemper Thursday, Shiltz held the 8-1 Trojans in check in an efficient 82-pitch outing.

Atlantic managed one run on five hits. Shiltz struck out

Kaymer holds on PINEHURST, N.C. — The U.S. Open trophy Martin Kaymer won Sunday was all he needed to prove he was anything but a one-hit wonder in the majors, and that the two years he spent trying to build a complete game were worth all the doubt that followed him.

Kaymer set the 36-hole scoring record by opening with a pair of 65s. He never let anyone closer than four shots over the final 48 holes. Equipped with a five-shot lead, he was the only player from the last eight groups to break par.

Kaymer returned to the elite in golf by turning the toughest test in golf into a runaway at Pinehurst No. 2, becoming only the seventh player to go wireto-wire in the 114 years of the U.S. Open. Only three players finished the championship under par.

First victory BROOKLYN, Mich.

— In the final seconds of his first victory at Michigan International Speedway, Jimmie Johnson could finally relax a bit.

Johnson and his No. 48 Chevrolet made it through the last few laps with a comfortable lead, and the six-time series champion won Sunday for the first time in 25 NASCAR Sprint Cup starts at MIS. Johnson outlasted pole winner Kevin Harvick by 1.214 seconds for his third victory in four races. He also won at Charlotte and Dover.

It was the fifth victory in a row for Chevy and Hendrick Motorsports. Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. also have won during the streak that doesn’t count Jamie McMurray’s win for Chevy and Chip Ganassi in the Sprint All-Star race last month.

Chase Shiltz delivers a pitch during Friday’s complete game 6-1 victory over Atlantic.

Shiltz allowed five hits, struck out six and walked one while improving to 2-1.

six, walked just one and hit two batters.

He and freshman catcher Kadon Hulett kept a swift tempo going, which coach Steve Birchard said helped the defense stay on its toes.

“We talked about that after the game,” Birchard said. “Some of our other guys need to take note of the rhythm that Chase gets in. Kadon gets the ball right back to him, and he’s back up there and throwing. He controls the tempo, and he’s around the zone. The guys were on their toes and played great defense.”

Three plays in particular quelled any potential rallies by the Trojans, who came in with wins over Harlan and Glenwood, sitting in second place in the conference at 6-1 behind DenisonSchleswig.

After a leadoff single in the Trojan third inning, Atlantic first baseman Seth Nelson sent a towering shot to left field that looked to have enough distance for a two-run homer, which would have made up most of a 3-0 deficit.

Instead, left fielder Garret Taylor quickly retreated, jumped to reach high for the catch as he fell into the left field fence.

“I knew it was deep, the

wind was blowing back, so I just found the fence,” Taylor said.

“I saw the ball was coming and kind of gave it a leap.

I came d o w n Taylor and hit the fence. I think it (the ball) was going to clear the fence.”

The Trojans managed one run that inning as catcher Brenden Holmes got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The damage was minimized by the catch.

Double play Creston was leading 6-1 in the top of the fifth when Travis Petersen drew a walk and eighth-grader Gratt Reed came in as a pinch runner. Leadoff batter Zack Nelson then lofted a flyball to Trevor Luther in right field.

Reed was unable to scramble back to first base before Luther made the catch and threw a strike to first baseman Nathan Haley for a double play.

Panther soccer reaching new heights

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

Steady progress.

With more to come.

That was the message at the Creston boys soccer banquet Saturday afternoon in the Creston High School commons.

The 2014 Panthers were 12-5 overall, and their thirdplace finish in the Hawkeye 10 Conference was the team’s best since a three-way tie for second in 2010.

In three seasons under coach Jesus Rodriguez, the Panthers have followed a 0-13 preceding season with campaigns of 3-11, 9-7 and now 12-5. The Panthers lose four seniors, but six junior lettermen will return as senior lead-

ers in 2015.

“I really enjoyed the season,” Rodriguez said. “Next year the tables will turn a little bit, I believe, because now we’re going to be the team with seniors. It will be a great season. I know it.”

The Panthers lost 2-1 in the substate semifinals to a senior-dominated Glenwood team that captured the Hawkeye 10 championship. Creston was ranked No. 15 in Class 2A at the end of the season.

Glenwood, a state qualifier, was ranked No. 5.

The Panthers had their first all-stater under Rodriguez and the program’s first since Kevin Irr in 2010 when Conner Pals was named to the

champion Bondurant-Farrar.

Josie Sickels drove in both runs for the Panthers, finishing 2-4 for the game and winning Player of the Game honors.

LaMasters took the loss in the circle, pitching four innings and giving up four runs on seven hits with two walks and one strikeout. Taylor Briley pitched two innings of relief, allowing two runs on three hits.

“I thought we battled pretty good against a good team,” McCabe said. “Right now, our problem is we give teams too many outs. Too many outs and too many free bases, whether it’s on balls that get by us behind the plate or walks. We give up too many free bases. We’ve got to clean that up and that would make a big difference for us, espe-

cially against good teams.”

Opener The Panthers opened their home tournament Friday morning against Griswold, and came out sluggish after a long roadtrip the night before.

Griswold took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, and after the Panthers knotted the score, made it 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning.

“I worried a little bit coming off, we get back late last night playing a doubleheader,” McCabe said. “I thought we were a little flat. Learned a good lesson. It just shows you you’re only as good as your next game.”

But, Natalie Mostek kickstarted Panther rallies in the top of the sixth and seventh innings.

Mostek led off both innings with a single. Creston scored five runs in the top of the sixth to take a 6-2 lead and added three more in the top of the seventh to go ahead 9-2. Gris-

wold added two more in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Higgins and Briley each drove in one run in the sixth inning, while Alli Thomsen plated two in the seventh.

LaMasters also had an Thomsen RBI in the game.

Mostek earned Player of the Game honors for starting the rallies. LaMasters struck out five and walked two, giving up eight hits in the win.

“We couldn’t get anything going for a good portion of the game,” McCabe said.

“But give the kids credit, they stuck with it and got that big sixth inning there. Found a way to get it done.”

The Panthers now start a week that includes four conference games and a trip to Oskaloosa for tournament

play on the weekend.

Creston hosts Red Oak today, with varsity action beginning at 5:30 p.m., with junior varsity to follow. The Panthers then host Glenwood Tuesday, with JV at 5:30 and varsity to follow.

Tuesday’s game will feature events in conjunction with Relay for Life. Luminaries will be sold at the game and Di Miller will throw out the first pitch.

arm,” said an appreciative Shiltz, who got out of the inning unscathed.

“Before I caught the ball, I could see that the kid was kind of hanging out by second base,” Luther said. “I went to my right and back a little to get it, and tried to get behind the ball so I could get Luther a couple of steps (moving forward) to throw it in. I heard their coach yell ‘back, back, back!’ and Nate was there with his hands up ready to go.”

Moments later, Haley ranged far to his left to catch a foul popup along the fence and retire the Trojans.

Atlantic put two runners on in the sixth, but Hulett

threw out a steal attempt at third and shortstop Conner Pals ended the threat by catching a liner.

Shiltz hit a batter in the seventh, but gained two of his three outs on strikeouts as he looked as strong as early in the game.

“Chase is a smart pitcher and he was getting ahead of guys tonight,” Birchard said.

“I just tried getting ahead as much as I could, getting that first strike,” Shiltz said, “then I could start throwing my curveball and changeup more. The defense played really well tonight.”

Creston finished a 3-1 week in Hawkeye 10 play, starting with a 6-1 victory at Shenandoah before the split at Kuemper and win over Atlantic. That leaves the Panthers 4-3 in the league and 5-5 overall heading into an important week, while the Trojans fell to 6-2 and 9-3 after splitting a pair of games Saturday in their own

tournament.

Current standings — Denison-Schleswig 5-0 (8-1 overall), St. Albert Catholic 6-1 (8-1), Atlantic 6-2 (9-3), Harlan 5-2 (6-3), Creston 4-3 (5-5), Glenwood 4-4 (66), Lewis Central 3-3 (7-5), Kuemper Catholic 4-6 (610), Shenandoah 2-7 (4-9), Clarinda 1-7 (1-8) and Red Oak 0-5 (1-6).

The Panthers host Red Oak and Glenwood Monday and Tuesday before a key doubleheader Thursday at Denison.

Tuesday’s game is the team’s annual “Battle Against Cancer” leading up to Friday’s Relay for Life at the Panther Field track.

Players will wear camouflage uniforms and Relay for Life honorary cancer survivor Emily Clayton will throw out the first pitch. Relay for Life luminaries will be sold at the game.

second all-state team in 2A. Pals set a school single-season scoring record with 25 goals, and is the career leader already with 47 goals.

“It boils down to what other coaches see as well, and I congratulate Conner Pals for earning that respect and making second team all-state,” Rodriguez said.

The Panthers lose three senior starters in Trevor Frain, Gavin Leith and Levi Eblen, a midfielder who plans to continue playing at Simpson College. Other seniors on the postseason roster were Caleb Cramer and Zack Peppmeier.

Eblen got the Coach’s Award for his leadership and actions as a role model for younger players.

He also had the Eblen “Goal of

the Year” for his Olympic goal — scoring directly off a corner kick — against Lewis Central.

“Levi was our engine in the midfield,” Rodriguez said. “He was a great leader for us, on the field and in our discussions at halftime.

He kept the group very united, always being a motivator.”

Peppmeier received the “Iron Man” award for his dedication despite not having a regular varsity position.

“He was in practice every single day, giving all he’s got,” Rodriguez said. “He knew his role on the team and never complained. No matter what, he was going to challenge players in practice and give his best when he got an opportunity.”

“Newcomer of the Year” was freshman midfielder Ben Irr, who had eight goals, seven assists and 34 shots on goal, which was second only to Pals on the team. Irr was instrumental in Creston’s improved possession game this season.
