Before I die I want to ...

What’s important to you?

Around the globe, people are answering that question on public installations in a project titled “Before I Die.” With the approval of Jan and Karl Knock of Iowa State Savings Bank and the in-kind support of Joe Anson of Anson Construction, Barb Coenen of Maple Street Memories and Creston Arts volunteers, a “Before I Die” wall has been installed on the side of former Huff Bakery, 401 W. Adams St., owned by Iowa State Savings Bank.

Since it was installed Saturday, Crestonians have shared their personal aspirations of what they hope to accomplish in their lifetime.

In Creston After discussing public mural projects with the Creston Arts council, CNA staff reporter and Creston Arts volunteer Sarah Brown proposed the idea of a “Before I Die” wall in Creston, which she first stumbled upon in San Diego, Calif.

Bailey Fry-Schnormeier said she loved the idea, too, after discovering the installation in Iowa City.

Brian Zachary offered a 12-foot chalk board for the project that was rescued from former Franklin School in Creston.

“As we discussed it, the arts council really wanted this to not be about us, but a community project (instead),” Brown said.

From there, the arts council looked for a location and people who could help bring the project to life.

“I was really happy when I first heard about this project,” said Karl Knock, CEO of Iowa State Savings Bank.

“The ‘Before I Die’ proj-

ect stimulates positive day dreaming and provides opportunity for expression to individuals who take part in it ... and to think about their own life plan or bucket list.”

Jan Knock said she loved that the “Before I Die” wall would be installed in Creston.

“We are experiencing renewed vitality uptown and this is just one more reason for people to visit,” Jan said.

Karl said the expressed ambitions of those who write on the board may inspire others or increase awareness of our shared humanity.

History

The money has been counted.

Mindy Stalker, organizer of the inaugural Creston half marathon and 5K run/walk, reports $1,500 was raised July 3 during the one-night event that hosted a total of 108 participants from seven different states.

“I was so pleased with the community and business support for this first-year event,” Stalker said. “I also want to thank the volunteers. And, I think the biggest surprise was how this event drew in out-of-towners.”

The $1,500 raised will soon be matched by First National Bank (FNB) in Creston lifting the total to $3,000.

“Many people use and enjoy the trails in Creston,” said Randy Huewe, president at FNB. “The trails are a quality of life asset for both our current residents and those looking to move to our community. We (FNB) wanted to get involved.”

Currently, the Cres■ First ton trail system starts in the McKinley Park campNational Bank ground and ends on the in Creston west side of Green Valley matches the Lake dam. Stalker said the $3,000 raised will be donat$1,500 for a ed to Crestland Betterment total of $3,000.

OPINION Columnist without a ‘do

My hair stylist, Joyce, is at the beach on holiday, and I want to stick my head in the sand. I should have made an appointment last week.

Why is hair at its best one day, then at its worst the very next?

Our heads should come equipped with something akin to a car’s oil dipstick so we’d know when we’re running out of vital fluid: hair color.

It is moments like this when I remember what a stylist in Paris (yes, France, darn it, not Tennessee!) said to me when I told her I wanted only a cut, please, not color. At the time I had decided I was embracing my gray. Color was too much trouble, especially if you’re on the road a lot. And I am.

“No, no, no!” the chic styl-

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

ist dressed all in black said in that wonderful dramatic way the French have. “You have plenty of time to be gray later.” Except she said “lay-tuh,” and suddenly getting a dye job sounded like a reprieve from Heaven.

That was the only cut and color I ever bought in France. It was terrific, but, face it, nobody of normal means can fly to Paris every time she needs a new look — or her old look back. Angelina Jolie, perhaps, but not moi.

Back here on Earth I forget to make appointments and go from Zero to Ninety on the need scale in a day. Then I’m trapped in a horrid look that could best be compared to old World Book illustrations of the layers of the Earth: crust, mantle and core. Black, gray, red.

Not a becoming color scheme on a woman’s head.

So I do what I do every time I’m in a fix like this. I look at comforting Internet garbage that has headlines like this: “Celebrities Without Their Makeup!” “Celebrities Who Should Have Avoided Plastic Surgery!” “Jennifer Aniston’s Unexpected Haircut!” “Stars Who Have Not Aged Well!”

You find them right next to headlines like “Kardashians Invade Hamptons” and “Kendra Be-

trayed.” You know, the hard news.

I feel better instantly. Well, not instantly, because it takes a while for those photos to download, but quickly enough. If Goldie Hawn really looks like that without makeup, I’m in great shape.

If Gwyneth Paltrow has no eyebrows, who needs ‘em?

I know what Dolly Parton said.

There is no such thing as natural beauty. Except when you’re young.

In my 20s and 30s, I got my hair cut by my mother-in-law about twice a year. I remembered makeup only on Saturday night. I ate and drank what I wanted and still knew my size.

A New Orleans wag recently noted that she used to be a pert 34B, but now she’s a 38 Long. Grav-

ity wins every contest.

My grandmother Lucille, another country philosopher, once said, “Beauty sags just like ugly.” She didn’t believe in makeup or pedal pushers, but I couldn’t help note she kept a weekly beauty parlor appointment. She wasn’t stupid.

Hair is a woman’s crowning glory. That’s biblical.

But until Joyce returns from holiday, I’ll be hiding my Neapolitan glory under a bushel. *** To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www.rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com. (c) 2014 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

World Cup fans drew complaints from bar owners and hookers HOLLYWOOD--Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

World Cup fans drew complaints from bar owners and hookers in Rio Thursday who said fans were cheap. Even the finals had people hedging their bets. The title match was between Germany and Argentina, and if you didn’t know who to root for, imagine how elderly Nazis felt.

The World Cup final between Germany and Argentina Sunday drew hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide to the telecast from Rio de Janeiro. Everyone had a stake in the outcome. Germany was expected to beat Argentina, and then it’s on to Czechoslovakia, Poland and Russia.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports a huge increase in U.S. retail franchise openings in foreign markets last year. Communication is so vital. Last week, Borders forgot to advertise it’s a bookstore when they opened in Guatemala City and the stampede leveled the merchandise.

President Obama asked Congress for four billion to give the

Guatemalan kids schooling, health care and immigration lawyers. The kids are fearless. They’ve all heard about Michelle Obama’s school lunch menu but they’re willing to go through anything for a new life in America.

Business World reports the U.S. just passed Saudi Arabia as the number one oil producer in the world. We’re dealing with a finite resource. Last week, BP geologists warned that the world will run out of oil in fifty-three years, but thanks to BP, the ocean will always have plenty.

Oklahoma City police arrested a couple Monday who were caught having sex on the steps of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church.

The church was red-faced. Theologians say this takes the doctrine of easy grace a little too far, but they don’t call them United Methodists for nothing.

The library belongs to the community From Barb Coenen

The new library at Lincoln School — pending Creston City Council approval — has been named Creston Area Library and Cultural Center. Do you like the name?

Richard Paulsen

Letters to the editor

Creston

I cannot begin to express my dismay at the idea of moving the library to Lincoln. I do not understand how a small group of people can make this decision for the entire community without taking the popular opinion into account. I would say 9 out of 10 people I talk to are NOT in favor of moving the library and changing the name.

WHY can the money not be used to add on to the current building and make that into the Matilda J. Gibson Memorial Library and Cultural Center?

The Lincoln School building was not appropriate to be a school any longer, how is it now going to be perfect to be a library? With any old building you run into unexpected expenses in renovation. I understand the board feels like they will get enough in grants to do the renovation, but at some point a larger “cultural center” is going to need more staff, electricity, upkeep, etc.

Are they saying they never will need to ask for more money from the taxpayers?

The library belongs to everyone in the community. EVERYONE. I think that you should listen to what

everyone has to say about the move.

I know that I was interviewed twice by the fundraiser from Omaha. Not one word I said was even heard.

How do I know this? After expressing my absolute NON-support for this idea, he came back to me and said “your name has been mentioned as someone who would be a good spokesperson for the move”... really? I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THE MOVE. Are you listening to the MANY, MANY citizens who have told you that? Or are those of you in office more interested in the “legacy” you leave behind when you leave office.

What about the Gibson family?

From Darlene Loudon Creston

What a slam in the face to the Matilda J. Gibson family. In reading the article in the Creston paper Tuesday, July 8, the article states the Gibson family wants nothing to do with the new library. Why should they? I hope you didn’t ask them for a donation. The Gibsons gave that as a gift years ago to the city and you want to do away with it. So what offices and etc. do you have in mind to put in the current library? You surely have an idea that you don’t want the community to know about. It’s not an office

building, it’s a library.

I can’t imagine the council even wanting to approve a new name for a library. The people wanting the new library, when they pass on, then we have our younger generation left with an ugly building and lots of debt, even though you’re not going to use taxpayer money. Now come on, I don’t believe one word of that.

The people born and raised here and who still live here know what Creston’s heritage is all about. One of the things is the current library.

You bring in this lady to tell you how to fundraise. She don’t have a clue what Creston needs, and what

we need to keep here, including the library.

As I have said before, most of the community does not want a new library. So what are you thinking? What part of “no” do you not understand?

Why do you think the Creston school system gave up the Lincoln School? It was going to be a headache. It will be interesting to see what members of the city council will vote the new name in. So people remember election time. The council should work for us. We don’t work for them.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and this is mine.

Let voters have say in library move From Larry Hicks Creston

“If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong” is an expression I feel is appropriate at this time.

Ms. Coulter, the library board, the mayor and perhaps the city council are making the assumption that everyone agrees with them that the library must be moved from its lovely historical building in nearby downtown Creston to a less than satisfactory abandoned building further from the downtown area.

No amount of patience by many of the fine citizens of Creston and the surrounding area is going to

change the opposition. The library board has just found a novel, although less than ethical, way to circumvent the public by not bringing such an important issue to a public vote.

Simply place the issue on the November ballot in a simple yes or no manner and let the eligible voters have a say in what direction this project goes. After all, they will be expected to pay future maintenance and all other expenses including construction cost overrun.

If approval should pass, all should get behind the project, however, should the proposal fail, the library

board should give it up and redirect their funds and energies in support of the present facility. If they still have energy left over, addressing the sad condition of our city streets would be a good place to start.

I can’t imagine any corporation or funding organization contributing to a questionable project such as this unless they are led to believe it is supported by the majority of the taxpayers and voting public.

In closing, one must be skeptical that the original building cost estimate as posted on the now absent thermometer would be anywhere close to accurate today.

PEOPLE

Geary, Moeller plan August wedding

Ticketmaster postpones refunds for Garth Brooks’ canceled Ireland shows Garth Brooks fans got new hope over the weekend that his five canceled concerts in Dublin, Ireland, might go on as scheduled this month. After a top Irish government official stepped in to help broker a deal, Ticketmaster has in turn postponed plans to start refunding money to the 400,000 ticket holders.

Alan Kelly, Ireland’s environment minister and deputy leader of the country’s Labor Party, joined negotiations between the concerts’ promoter and Dublin city officials who had denied permits for two of the five concerts, which had been scheduled for July 25-29.

The permit denial prompted Brooks to say he’d only play all five concerts or none at the 83,000-capacity Croke Parke Stadium.

“I would be optimistic that the common good and common sense will prevail as the distance between all parties is not insurmountable,” Kelly told the Irish Times.

Some residents around

the stadium had raised objections to the five concerts and cited an agreement between the athletic association that operates the stadium and the city limiting special events other than sporting matches to three per year.

But as the situation unfolded, the Irish Independent reported a criminal investigation into the suspected forging of 35 percent to 40 percent of the 380 complaints about the concerts that were presented to the city council. Those complaints were cited as a crucial factor in the council’s decision to deny two of the permits for the concerts.

Dozens of fans from around Ireland protested in Dublin over the weekend chanting “Let’s go, five in a row.”

Ticketmaster issued a statement saying it would hold off refunding money for tickets to the sold-out shows while the negotiations proceeded.

“We would ask fans to

continue to be patient and hold onto their tickets for now,” the statement says.

Brooks held a news conference in Nashville last week to announce a new recording contract with Sony Music and to confirm that he will undertake a world tour to start soon. He reiterated that he wouldn’t play the Dublin concerts unless he could do all five without compromising the presentation he’d planned.

Irish officials floated a compromise idea that he play matinee shows for two of the concerts and fit all five into three days, but Brooks rejected the idea, saying it would shortchange fans at daytime concerts because his “Garth Brooks Comeback Special” show is designed to be seen at night.

Brooks chose Croke Park as the site for his return to touring because of a promise he made to Irish fans to return when he played there in 1997 before the Croke Park Stadium was completed.

The search for a good APR Dear Readers: What is the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (APR) on your credit card? The APR is a number that represents, by percentage, the interest you pay.

When applying for a credit card with different companies, you want to look for the one offering the lowest APR. However, there are different types of APRs to consider.

Some companies will offer an “introductory or promotional APR” for a limited time. Usually, this APR is offered for no longer than a year, and then the rate goes up.

Two other kinds are “purchase APRs,” which apply only to items charged on the card, and “cash-advance APRs,” which have much higher rates. Be a savvy consumer and read all the terms and conditions before applying. — Heloise KEEP COPIES Dear Heloise: After graduating from school, it’s a good idea to make a copy of your diploma prior to framing it or storing it. Many employers are now requiring a diploma copy (high school as well as college) for prospective and current employees.

Falcons end Raiderette run Fortune homers, tosses shutout for No. 5 Wayne

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

National Digest

Two straight MINNEAPOLIS — For the second-straight year, Yoenis Cespedes is the All-Star Home Run Derby champion.

The Oakland Athletics outfielder defeated the Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier 9-1 in the final round Monday night to become the first repeat champion since Ken Griffey Jr. did it in 1999.

For the second-straight year, Cespedes had Oakland’s third-base coach Mike Gallego throw to him.

Cespedes topped Toronto’s Jose Bautista to advance to the final against Frazier, who beat Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton in the NL semifinals.

Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was the only player to not hit a home run in the derby. He’s the first player to be shutout since Robinson Cano was in 2012.

CHARITON — When Wayne of Corydon lost the coin toss for home team in Monday’s regional final against Mount Ayr, Lady Falcon coach Heather Fortune took a pragmatic approach.

“I said, well, we get to score first. Let’s go out and do it big,” Fortune said.

That they did. The Class 1A fifth-ranked Lady Fal-

cons rocked Raiderette starting pitcher Tessa Shields for four straight hits after a walk, including a home run by center fielder Shania Austin, prompting Mount Ayr coach Ranae Klinkefus to insert third baseman Macy Larsen in the circle with no outs in the top of the first inning.

Larsen got three straight outs to curb the Falcon attack, but not before five runs had crossed the plate.

“I could just tell from Tessa’s body language that she

was tense out there, and we needed a change,” Klinkefus said.

Mount Ayr answered with two runs off Wayne all-state pitcher Breanna Fortune.

Paige Daughton opened with a single, Larsen reached on an error and Kirsten Dolecheck drove an RBI single to right field. An error allowed another run to score and Alyssa Johnson singled as it was apparent the Raiderettes would not be as intimidated as in a previous 10-0 loss to the Lady

Falcons.

However, Fortune allowed only two more hits the rest of the way by Billie Stark and Megan Warin as Wayne sailed to a 14-2 victory in three innings.

Fortune and Wayne third baseman Brennan Banks, the leadoff batter in the lineup who scored three runs, are both Southwestern Community College softball recruits.

They had big roles in earning their career third state tournament berths dating back to

Besides pitching the shutout, Fortune had one of the team’s two home runs in finishing 3-of-3 at the plate with five RBI.

Starters MINNEAPOLIS — The American League will send Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez to the mound for tonight’s All-Star Game at Target Field, where he will be opposed by St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright for the National League.

On the season, Hernandez is 11-2 with a 2.12 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. He has struck out 154 batters in 144 1-3 innings of work.

Wainwright is 12-4 on the year with a 1.83 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. The righthander has struck out 115 batters in 138 innings.

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter will bat leadoff for the AL, followed by Los Angeles Angels left fielder Mike Trout, Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano, Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista, Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Nelson Cruz, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones, Oakland Athletics third baseman Josh Donaldson and Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez.

On the NL side, Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen will leadoff, followed by Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig, Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, Miami Marlins designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez, Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley, Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy and Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Carlos Gomez.

Going pro DALLAS — Prized SMU recruit Emmanuel Mudiay will pursue professional basketball opportunities overseas instead of playing for the Mustangs.

Coach Larry Brown said Monday that the decision by the 6-foot-5 McDonald’s All-American point guard was based on a “hardship issue” and not any academic issues for the incoming freshman.

Wayne all-state senior Breanna Fortune swings for one of her three hits Monday against Mount Ayr in regional final action at Chariton. Fortune hit a home run and two singles while driving in five runs. The Southwestern Community College recruit also pitched her 17th shutout of the season and increased her season strikeout total to 268 in the 12-0 victory.

Seven Panthers on H-10 Panthers hold off ADM, 5-4 all-conference teams

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston softball team was rewarded for its 17-3 conference record and Hawkeye 10 Conference championship by having seven players placed on the league’s allconference teams.

Leading the way for the Panthers were three players on the conference’s first team.

Junior pitcher Haylee LaMasters earned the third first-team nod of her career after posting a 14-3 record within the conference and being one of the top offensive threats in the LaMasters Hawkeye 10.

“Kind of put herself in a pretty select group of kids there that have a chance to be a four-time first-teamer,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said.

“She led the conference in basically every offensive category.”

Junior battery mate Natalie Mostek joined LaMasters on the first team after hitting better than .400 in conference games.

“Natalie was a second-team a l l - c o n f e r e n c e Mostek player last year,” McCabe said. “I thought she was pretty deserving of a first team and got it this year, so I felt good about that. She’s been a good leader for us and is becoming a better leader for us.”

Sophomore center fielder Josie Sickels was the third Panther Jo. Sickels

to receive first-team honors. Sickels hit .460 in conference games.

“She was an honorable mention player last year,” McCabe said.

“Had a great freshman season for us. Jumped up and had a really good sophomore year for us. I think she was second in the conference in runs scored and top five in hits, so just what you’d want out of your leadoff spot. Played a great center field for us.”

The Panthers also received a pair of second-team players in sophomore left fielder Jami Sickels and sophomore shortstop Taylor Briley.

Jami Sickels improved her batting average to .443 after hitting just .185 last year as a freshman.

“Jami might very well be our most improved Ja. Sickels player,” McCabe said. “That’s just a remarkable job by her and give her all the credit.

Put in all the work, listened and did a very good job for us in the outfield, as well.”

Briley started the season slow after dealing with a concussion during the winter and a leg injury during the spring, but came around toward the end of Briley the season.

“Real proud of Taylor’s second team selection, given the fact she had one tough offseason,” McCabe said. “Really got off to a slow start and was just kind of rounding into mid-season form toward the end of the year. Taylor will bounce back and be even better next year.”

The Creston baseball team picked up a quality win in its nextto-last regular season game here Monday.

ADM, still involved in the championship race of the Raccoon River Conference with Winterset and Perry (those teams play Wednesday), brought a 19-10 record to Panther Field Monday night.

But it was Creston, now 12-14, that took command most of the night in building a 5-0 lead before hanging on in the seventh inning for a 5-4 non-conference victory.

“I told the guys, that’s the top seed in that substate over there.

We just beat a solid club,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “Winterset and Perry play Wednesday, and the winner splits the conference title with them. We know we can beat a team of that caliber. We just have to put it all together when it counts.”

The final regular season game is at home tonight against Chariton (17-12), which presents another good tuneup for Friday’s district opener in Atlantic against Winterset.

Birchard is using these first two days of the week as a chance for all of his varsity pitchers to get a little work in prior to district play, and three Panther seniors shared mound duties Monday night.

Brandon Phipps needed only 37 pitches to get through three scoreless innings, allowing only one hit. Nate Haley tossed two hitless innings before giving way to Cole Crawford.

Phipps Only one baserunner reached against Crawford in the sixth on a walk. But the Panthers saw the Tigers mount a rally in the seventh, starting the inning with three walks

and two singles before an out was recorded.

With runners on first and second and no outs, Chase Shiltz fielded a grounder at third and stepped on the bag for a force out, barely throwing late to first for a would-be double play.

After another single, shortstop Conner Pals fielded a ground ball up the middle and stepped on second for an out, also just missing a double play on the throw to first.

With runners on first and third and the Panthers holding onto a 5-4 lead, Crawford gloved a high bouncer back toward the mound and ran the ball over to first for the final out to preserve the one-run victory.

“We had timely hitting tonight, and pretty good pitching for the most part,” Birchard said. “Crawford got himself in some trouble with the walks, but got out of it with the groundballs.”

Birchard expects to employ a similar strategy tonight, expecting to give Shiltz, Kadon Hulett and Trevor Luther some time on the mound. Shiltz may get the start Friday against the Huskies, but Birchard said he’ll have everyone available.

The offense produced seven hits Monday while the pitchers were yielding only four, including three in the final inning.

Pals had two hits, Luther was 2-of-3 with a double and two RBI, while Shiltz and Hulett also rapped doubles.

Crawford added a Luther single.

Jason Sloss had two hits for ADM, which is coached by former SWCC player Jason Book.

WALKOFF REPLAY Bakley’s hit sends Clarke back to state

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — The Clarke softball team advanced to the State Softball Tournament for the second straight year, in almost the exact same fashion it advanced to last year’s state tournament.

Last year it was Kennedy Crees coming up with the walkoff hit in the bottom of the seventh inning, and this year it was freshman Vanessa Bakley who gave the Lady Indians a 4-3 win over ADM here Monday in the Class 3A Region 8 final.

Walkoff Amanda Kindred started a one-out rally for Clarke in the bottom of the seventh, blooping a single over the head of ADM first baseman Caitlyn Gruening.

That brought up the top of the Clarke order, and head coach Lindsay Diehl elected to have leadoff batter Kennedy Crees, the team’s leading hitter, sacrifice bunt pinch runner Mackenzi Otto into scoring position.

That decision paid off.

No. 2 hitter Vanessa Bakley, with two outs and down to her final strike, delivered with a fly ball into left-cen-

ter field, that was glanced off the glove of ADM center fielder Jessica Wyant, dropping to the ground.

Diehl was waving Otto home from the moment the ball met Bakley’s bat, and she scored easily, sending the Clarke dugout into a frenzy as the remaining Lady Indians spilled onto the field to congratulate Bakley.

“I felt like what she gave me, I was going to go with it,” Bakley said about her approach to ADM pitcher Molly Jacobsen, the state leader in strikeouts. “ Y o u ’ v e Bakley just got to play the game one pitch at a time.

That’s what we did tonight and it just goes to show that if you never give up, things will come out your way.”

Diehl said knowing Bakley was coming to the plate made the decision to have Crees bunt easy.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Vanessa Bakley to come up,” Diehl said. “She’s just a gamer all the time. I love

Late rally Just like last year’s win over West Burlington Notre Dame in the regional final, the third-ranked Lady Indians needed to come from behind to win the game.

ADM held a 3-0 lead over Clarke going into the bottom of the sixth inning.

Senior Libby Bemis drew a one-out walk that got things going for the Clarke offense. Senior Devon Carson followed with a single up the middle.

Then, senior Carley Robins sent a two-strike pitch into left field for a two-run double that cut the Tigers’ lead to 3-2.

“On my previous two at-bats, I got a hit on two strikes,” Robins said. “I had two strikes when I got that hit, so I was extremely confident. I just waited for my pitch, because she kept throwing down the middle and I just drove it to left CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER field.

RAIDERETTES: Continued from page 7A

line-up, was 2-of-3 with two doubles and five runs batted in.

“They hit well up and down the lineup,” Klinkefus said. “We hit the ball solid tonight, too, compared to the last time we played them.

We came into this game with nothing to lose. I’m proud of them.”

Fortune had 15 strikeouts in Friday’s 8-0 win over Lamoni, pushing her season total to 266 in 193 innings.

On Monday, Mount Ayr batters struck out only twice in three innings. Fortune issued no walks.

Larsen was touched for nine runs and nine hits in a relief role for Mount Ayr, but only issued two walks with one strikeout.

After the loss, Klinkefus had mixed feelings. She’s encouraged about the prospects for her youthful team,

yet it was also the last time she’d have seniors Daughton and Brook Rychnovsky at shortstop and right field, respectively.

Daughton batted .354 with a team-high 21 stolen bases and 27 runs scored. Rychnovsky became a solid outfielder and will join Wayne’s Fortune and Banks on the SWCC team next year.

“Brooke was also the spunk of our team,” Klinkefus said. “Those two seniors are big losses.

“But,” the Raiderette coach added, “Kirsten Dolecheck remarked that other than the two seniors, the rest of the team is sophomores or younger. She said we’re going to be around awhile!”

Both pitchers, Shields and Larsen, are freshmen and Johnson is an eighth-grader behind the plate.

This is a team that showed growth during the season, posting a 12-5 record after

a rough 1-8 start. It was the school’s first regional final since a one-run loss to Underwood in 1997.

“I’m very excited about the future of this team,” Klinkefus said.

Third trip Wayne (27-6) takes more experience to state than the young squad that placed eighth in 2012. Fortune and Banks were sophomores then, and eighth-grade starters on the school’s first qualifying team in 2010 that was state runner-up.

That year, pitcher Cassandra Darrah was Class 2A Player of the Year. She recently concluded a successful career at the University of Wisconsin.

“We came to the field very focused today and did their jobs out there,” coach Fortune said. “I told them don’t relax just because we scored five runs, because Mount Ayr is a good ball team.

H-10:

That’s the approach we want to take to Fort Dodge. The goal this year is to get on the winning side of the bracket after game one.”

Ten players on this year’s Wayne roster are juniors or seniors.

The Lady Falcons open against sixth-ranked Martensdale-St. Marys (25-4) at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge. In conference play this season the teams split, with Martensdale-St. Marys winning the first meeting 6-2, followed by a 9-0 Wayne victory on June 17.

CLARKE: Dillinger waved Gabbie Glenn home on the play, but Robins came up throwing home.

Robins delivered a strike that reached home plate with Glenn just more than halfway down the line. Spurgin sat waiting for Glenn and held onto the ball as Glenn plowed through Spurgin, ending the inning on the tag.

“I wasn’t planning on throwing home,” R o b ins said.

“I don’t k n o w why he sent her.

I practice Robins it all the time. And my arm doesn’t hurt today, so that helps a lot.”

It was the third time Robins has thrown a runner out at home plate from left field this season, and the second time it’s saved the game for Clarke.

“I hear (assistant coach) Staci Ritchey sometimes next to me like, ‘send her,

Continued from page 8A

“She was being consistent with her pitch count. I figured it was going to be inside or down the middle, and she threw it down the middle.”

Robins ended up on third base after the throw home from the outfield, and then scored when Kassidy Spurgin reached base on an error, making the score 3-3.

Robins wasn’t done making an impact on the game, though.

Clarke found itself in a jam in the top of the seventh inning, as the first two batters of the inning reached base.

Bemis struck out Jacobsen for the first out of the inning, and then induced a comebacker, getting the lead runner at third base for the second out of the inning.

Gruening, who had doubled in the sixth inning, came up with runners on first and second and ripped a line drive into left field.

send her,’” Diehl said.

“She wants them to show off her gun, because Carley has it. And wow. Kassidy is waiting to put the tag on, where the girl even tries to tackle her behind the plate. That was huge!

I can’t say enough about Carley Robins.”

Early deficit From the very beginning, Monday’s game looked like a replay of last year’s regional final game.

The first two ADM batters of the game reached base on errors, eventually leading to a run.

“You could tell even when we just first stepped out there that the nerves were going to get the best of us that first inning,” Diehl said. “After I went out there after we had a couple mistakes, I said, ‘this is exactly what we did last year. That’s all right.

We’re going to answer back. It’ll be OK.’” But Diehl said the wait for the comeback this year was more nerve-wracking.

ADM added a run in the fifth inning when No.

9 hitter Gabbie Glenn hit a solo home run to right field. The Tigers added to the lead in the sixth inning after Gruening’s double.

But Bemis didn’t let the errors or the home run rattle her. She finished the game with seven strikeouts and just two walks and four hits allowed.

“I know we’re all nervous at the beginning,” Bemis said. “We’ve got a young team.

I just tell them that I believe in them. I made one bad pitch and they Bemis hit that home run, but I knew my team would have my back just like last year and we’d pull through in the end.”

Clarke improved to 24-8 for the season with the win, while ADM finishes its year at 25-11. The Lady Indians open the 2014 State Softball Tournament at 3 p.m.

out with his six A’s teammates?

“I think he’s going just stand in the middle of the field and just be awkward,” A’s catcher Derek Norris predicted.

While the Midsummer Classic figures to be Derek Jeter’s night, a player who definitely won’t participate was one of the most in demand for interviews Monday.

“Kind of a crazy ordeal,”

Chicago Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — The biggest mystery surrounding Tuesday’s All-Star Game is where A’s pitcher Jeff Samardzija will wind up.

Should Samardzija sit in the National League dugout with the players who voted him to their team as a Cub, or take a seat in the American League dug-

A’s third baseman Josh Donaldson said.

Samardzija said he doesn’t want it to be “a big deal,” but it already is. He was asked several times Monday what jersey he’ll wear, and replied “a blank one” most of the time.

“It’s not really unique,” Samardzija said. “It’s just the way things happened.

The timing (of the trade from the Cubs to the A’s) is unfortunate, but I’m re-

ally excited to get to experience two teams.

“I get to work out with the National League team and thank those guys for bringing me here and speaking up and saying I belong here. … And then during the game I get to go be part of the AL and see that side of things and meet those guys I’ll be facing in the near future.”

In 2004, Carlos Beltran wasn’t voted in for the

American League as a member of the Royals, but MLB allowed Beltran to be named to the NL team as an injury replacement after he was traded to the Astros. Beltran went 1-for-2 off the bench, scoring a run.

But since Samardzija was voted to the NL team, MLB decided he can’t play for either team.

“I feel like he should be allowed to pitch in the

game,” Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer said. “I understand that he was elected on the National League side and now he’s on the American League side. It’s such a ‘what do you do’ type of situation.”

Samardzija found out about his sticky situation from players’ union head Tony Clark, who sent him a long text about his status Please see SAMARDZIJA, page 12A

lead but ended up settling for second.

Behind him was Clarinda’s Andy Davison and another Clarinda driver, Jeremy Auten, who wheeled Jeremy Ribbey’s borrowed 12G car from 14th to a very respectable top five finish.

Finishing fifth was David Weeda from Mount Ayr. Purdy’s win, combined with a dismal 13th place finish by Luke Ramsey, allowed him to stretch the class point lead he just obtained last week to 35 points.

Davison is 42 points behind the leader and Hansen sits 48 points back in fourth.

B-mods In the Stalker Chevrolet B-mods Creston’s Dusti Carlisle took home her first career feature trophy as she led from start to finish in the 15 lap feature. The Carlisle family from Creston typically brings three race cars to the track each week, with Dusti in a b-mod, little brother Dillon in a hobby stock and father Dave in a late model. Dusti was two for two on the evening as she also won her heat race.

Stanton’s Bryce Allen finished second, less than a half a second behind Carlisle at the checkers, with Blain Pe-

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Just one year out of high-school, Dusti Carlisle made July 12 a night to remember as she captured her first career feature victory, taking her No. 23 Stalker Chevrolet B-mod to Adams County Speedway’s Miller Lite Victory Lane.

Starting outside on the front row the Creston teen led from start to finish in a feature that was uninterrupted by the caution flag While heavy showers hovered just south of the Adams County Speedway Saturday, the racing action was held on a soft infield and track that turned rough as the night went on.

Hobby stocks Defending Chat Mobility hobby stock champion Jeremy Purdy got his first win of the season just one week ago, but he wasted no time at all in picking up win number two. Starting ninth in the field of sixteen Purdy saw the field regrouped and restarted three times in the first five laps as cautions fell. But the last 10 laps went caution free as Kurt Hansen challenged Purdy for the

tersen third, Jerod Weston fourth, and Josh Sink in fifth. Class point leader, Jon Plowman of Woodbine, finished sixth, just his second finish outside the top five this season.

Pro-stocks Greg Miller’s quest to make this year his ninth ACS track championship in the Northland Oil prostocks got another boost this week as he captured win number three along with the $512 winner’s purse in the Mike Garner Memorial race.

Miller had his work cut out for him as he started eighth in the field of 13 and had to pass Brad Derry, Joe Zadina, and Craig Garner to get to the front. Tony Hardisty, starting shotgun on the field was also in the hunt as the pro-stocks once again put on one of the best sideby-side racing exhibitions of the evening.

At the checkers it was Miller, Derry, Mercer, Hardisty, and Craig Garner. Miller’s win extended his point lead to 25 points ahead of Derry, while Hardisty and Zadina are both within striking distance.

kept Jesse Dennis out of victory lane this year, Ryan Peckham (twice) and Ryan Schaffer (once), and both were on hand this week to challenge the track point leader. But both of them finished outside the top 10 as Dennis collected trophy number eight holding off Jeff James and Brian Foote at the checkers. John Davis and Keven Parman rounded out the top five.

Blain Petersen looked to be the man in charge at the midpoint of the race but his shot at a victory came to a sudden stop when mechanical problems sent him into the front stretch wall on lap number 10. Great driving by the rest of the field averted a pileup that could have damage a lot of equipment as they avoided Petersen’s car.

Late models While it only took about 22 seconds to get the first one of 25 laps completed in the Coors Light late model feature, getting the second lap completed without a caution was a different matter. First it was Jason O’Brien and Justin Cooper leaving the south end of the front stretch and bringing out the yellow flag.

Glendenning’s number 33 stopped on the track as his night ended early. After four attempts at a clean restart the field finally completed more laps, until lap number eight when rain drops started to pelt the facility.

Luckily the shower was short lived and racing resumed. All the while it was Jason O’Brien working his way from the back and doing battle with Chris Spieker and John Hampel – Spieker involved in a rabid points battle with O’Brien and Hampel hungry for win number two this year.

After one last green/ white/checker restart it was O’Brien getting win number three on the season, fol-

SAMARDZIJA: Continued from page 10A

as a non-pitcher.

“He was explaining that it had never happened before (to a player voted in), so we’re kind of setting a precedent if anything happens in the future like this,” Samardzija said. “Ultimately he was relaying to me that he just wanted me to enjoy the festivities and soak in the atmosphere, and anything after that was gravy. I agree 100 percent, man. … I don’t have to pitch, so my anxiety level is at an all-time low.”

Samardzija couldn’t be happier being with the A’s, a team full of free spirits with which he’ll fit like a glove. He said he has never been around guys that talked so much baseball, though he didn’t reveal what the Cubs talked about.

Asked about leaving the Cubs, the hometown team he once had a no-trade contract with, Samardzija said he didn’t feel any sad-

ness.

“There was no time for emotions, no time for reflections or anything,” Samardzija said. “When you get traded over to a team that’s in first place, you’re obligated to give all your time Samardzija and attention to that team. So I’m not going to sit and reminisce.

“I’ll save that for later. ... I’m excited to be on the team I’m on. They went out of their way to come get me, and I’m going to live up to all the expectations that they have for me.”

Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro loving life now

By PAUL SULLIVAN Chicago Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — It was only 15 months ago that thenCubs manager Dale Sveum threatened to send struggling young stars Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro to the minors.

“No one wants to go down to the minor leagues,” Rizzo said that day. “Whatever happens happens.”

What happened was Rizzo and Castro endured subpar seasons, Sveum was fired at season’s end, and now both players are representing the Cubs in Tuesday’s All-Star Game at Target Field.

“Oh, yeah, after that bad year I had last year, it’s going to be a good one,” Castro said.

“A perfect one, because now I’ve got that confidence back to keep going every year.”

Castro, voted in by players, will appear in his third game, while Rizzo is making his AllStar debut, after being voted in by fans in the National League Final Vote.

“A lot of people write you off so quick in this game,” Riz-

zo said. “It’s not unfair, but it is what it is. Castro, I’m really happy for him. We’re both happy to be here and happy to be here together too.”

Sveum was let go in part because of his tough-love managing style, particularly toward Castro. New manager Rick Renteria has seemingly had a positive effect on the shortstop, who chafed under Sveum’s criticism.

“We talk a lot,” Castro said of Renteria and his staff.

“They’ve got confidence in us, they trust us, they’re letting us play baseball and that’s the kind of thing you want. You have your talent. You know who you can be, and that’s what you need — people that trust you and let you play.”

Before meeting with the media Monday, Rizzo made sure to say hello to Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. He said their feud during Thursday’s game at Great American Ball Park is officially history.

site, Chang said it’s a place where people can pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives and share their personal aspirations in a public space.

Since the original wall was created in 2011 in New Orleans, more than 500 “Before I Die” walls have been created in more than 60 countries and 25 languages.
