Emily Robinson stands next to local and state recognition awards and college acceptance letters, which were part of the display her parents, Bill and Shelly Robinson, set up for her graduation party last weekend. This month, Emily graduated from high school and Southwestern Community College at age 17 and will begin an engineering program at Purdue University this fall.

Last week, Emily Robinson of Creston graduated high school from Alpha Omega Academy and college from Southwestern Community College. She begins an engineering program at Purdue University this fall.

When Emily Robinson received word from Purdue University, she cried.

It wasn’t out of disappointment but joy – and a little disbelief. The work she had put in at Creston High School, Alpha Omega Academy and Southwestern Community College had paid off in the form of a full ride to study computer engineering at Purdue.

At age 17, a year ahead of her classmates, Emily graduated high school this month. At the same time, she graduated with honors

sociate of Science degree.

This fall, she will begin her studies at Purdue.

“Since I’ve been little, teachers noticed I was a bit more advanced, I guess,” said Emily of Creston.

“When I was in first grade, they started me in TAG (Talented and Gifted), and then eventually, I accelerated in math. It was just that I would get bored in classes.”

Skipping seventh grade When Emily was in sixth grade at Creston Middle School, her TAG teacher thought Emily should accelerate, meaning skip a grade.

“They tested her in sixth grade, and she scored a 76 out of 80, and the AEA (American Evaluation Association) said that was the highest score they could remember up to that point,” said Bill Robinson, Emily’s father. “The middle school principal thought she should go ahead and take the ACT test because he thought she could probably go to college.”

With her test scores, Emily skipped seventh grade and was encouraged to take the ACT. “(The principal) really wanted Emily to start high school from sixth grade, but we like her,” Bill said. “We figured losing one year was going to be tough enough.

Losing two years was going to be not acceptable to us.

So, we said she’s not going to college or to high school yet because we still wanted her to be a kid.”

Skipping one grade was

“THE middle school principal thought she should go ahead and take the ACT test because he thought she could probably go to college.”

Kane Michael Farlow, 18, 1106 W. Montgomery St., was additionally charged on a Union County warrant for eluding and driving under suspension 11:20 a.m. Monday at Union County Jail after two police pursuits in three days.

Farlow was also charged with eluding, driving while suspended, reckless driving and assault on an officer with a weapon Saturday afternoon in Creston.

According to a Creston Police report, on Saturday, officers were in the 300 block of North Jarvis Street when they observed Farlow driving a gold Cadillac. Officers knew Farlow to have a suspended license and was a suspect of eluding Thursday,

pursuit. Officers attempted to block Farlow from exiting the alleyway, which he eluded.

Creston Police and Union County Sheriff’s officers began a pursuit to attempt to stop Farlow, who reached speeds in excess of 70 mph in a 25-mph zone within city limits.

In the 600 block of North Vine Street, in the east alleyway, Farlow was eluding officers driving south and proceeded to hit the vehicle of a sheriff’s deputy with his own with the intent to continue eluding. Farlow was taken into custody on scene.

Farlow was also seen driving recklessly Friday in Creston, according to Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer.

Farlow was being held awaiting bond hearing.

challenging enough, Emily said. She wouldn’t have been capable of skipping two grades and beginning high school.

“I’d already figured out my friend group in my grade before, and then when I jumped a grade ... it took me a while to figure out where I fit,” Emily said. “There was a little bit of adversity to overcome, but it was worth EMILY | 2A

SWCC

ACT

Emily’s sophomore year was also when she began taking classes at SWCC. At one point, Emily was taking a Spanish class at CHS, a full load of Alpha Omega classes and a few SWCC classes at the same time.

“There was a lot going on,” Emily said.

By her junior year of high school, Emily was done with necessary coursework at CHS and could focus more on Alpha Omega and SWCC. “There were also credits from Southwestern that transferred to the high school; they worked with us really well,” Bill said.

Last week, Emily graduated high school from Alpha Omega Academy and also graduated from SWCC.

At age 14, Emily took the ACT for the first time. She scored a 30 out of 36.

A year later, she scored a 33. She took it once more at age 16 because she wanted to improve her score on the math section. On that final attempt, she scored a 34 on the ACT, placing her in the top 99 percent of all test-takers. Her math score was a 35.

Alpha Omega Academy Emily completed her freshman year at CHS, and there, got involved in student government. The following year, she would make big changes.

“About two weeks into second semester my sophomore year, there was a day when I really didn’t want to go back,” Emily said. “I needed more of a challenge, and I was wanting to learn at my own pace. I knew that I had more potential than what I was able to show, so we looked into online places, and we found Alpha Omega Academy.”

Alpha Omega is a Christian, fully accredited online academy for K-12 students that is based in Rock Rapids. Because Alpha Omega would accept Emily’s transfer credits from CHS, but CHS was unable to accept Alpha Omega credits, Emily would ultimately graduate

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and his push to make the Sanders party more inclusive could get “messy” but asserts in an interview with The Associated Press: “Democracy is not always nice and quiet and gentle.”

The Vermont senator, campaigning Monday ahead of California’s primary against Hillary Clinton, said his supporters hope the party will adopt a platform at the summer convention that reflects the needs of working families, the poor and young people, not Wall Street and corporate America.

Sanders said he will “condemn any and all forms of violence” but his campaign was welcoming political newcomers and first-time attendees of party conventions. He said the Democratic Party faces a choice of becoming more inclusive or maintaining the status quo.

“I think if they make the right choice and open the doors to working-class people and young people and create the kind of dynamism that the Democratic Party needs, it’s going to be messy,” Sanders said.

“Democracy is not always nice and quiet and gentle but that is where the Democratic

Though Emily didn’t qualify to be in the National Honor Society through CHS, she was inducted into The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS), an organization formed, in part, by Claes Nobel of the family that established the Nobel Prizes.

Emily was also a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at SWCC and received several local and state recognition awards during high school.

“The junior class at Creston High School, even though Emily wasn’t there

Finances In raising Emily, Bill and his wife, Shelly, have experienced some financial strain due to Bill struggling from a chronic illness since 2004.

“We don’t know what it is, but we believe it started with an infection I got when I was a foreign exchange student in high school,” Bill said.

Bill had to quit working in 2005. Shelly is a part-time hair dresser at Cutting Edge in Creston.

“Our investments were good, and God has been good to us,” Bill said.

“Shelly and I were both very frugal and had saved, so when we realized Emily was special, we wanted to make sure she had what she needed to excel.”

While CHS pays for about 23 SWCC credits per student per year, Emily took an average of 21 SWCC hours per semester during her senior year to earn a degree, so her parents had to cover the remainder of the college costs.

When Bill and Shelly found out Emily was accepted to Purdue, located in West Lafayette, Indiana, Bill said they were “really squealing” on how they would afford to send her

“YOU work so hard for all these years to get good grades, be involved and do everything they tell you to do, and when it finally pays off, it’s great.”

there.

But then, Emily received the good news from the Purdue financial aid department.

“I’m not a very show-myemotions person, but I sat here and I cried when I got the email and saw all of that money was there,” Emily said. “You work so hard for all these years to get good grades, be involved and do everything they tell you to do, and when it finally pays off, it’s great.”

For now, Emily’s plan is to earn a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering.

She may then pursue a master’s degree, but that is undecided.

“Purdue has an amazing program, and that’s why I chose it,” Emily said. “Their engineering is so strong. I knew that if I wanted to be a successful engineer and have that Purdue engineer label, it would be a lot of work, and that’s kind of what I’m scared of. But, I know that I’m going to meet a lot of kids who want to do the same thing as me, and I’m excited for that.”

Party should go.”

Asked if the convention could be problematical, Sanders said: “So what? Democracy is messy. Everyday my life is messy. But if you want everything to be quiet and orderly and allow, you know, just things to proceed without vigorous debate, that is not what democracy is about.”

Sanders is vying for support ahead of California’s June 7 primary, a day that also includes contests in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota. Clinton has 271 more pledged delegates than Sanders and is just 90 delegates shy of clinching the nomination when the total includes superdelegates, the party officials and elected leaders who can support the candidate of their choice.

Some Democrats have grown weary about the length of the primaries, worried that it could give Republican businessman Donald Trump a head start on the general election and make it more difficult for Democrats to unite behind a nominee. The issue gained attention when a recent Nevada Democratic convention turned raucous.

Sanders said he was “bothered” by the portrayal of the Las Vegas convention, saying it did not turn violent as some media reports indicated.

“There was rowdyism. There was booing, I think inappropriately by the way,” he said.

The senator spoke after the Democratic National Committee announced a 15-mem-

ber platform drafting committee, which will write the first draft of the party platform.

The panel includes allies of both candidates.

Sanders said the platform process would be an “excellent time to educate the American people,” saying it would allow the party to have a vigorous debate over ways to address wealth inequality, the role of Wall Street in the economy, climate change and universal health care.

“A serious debate about serious issues is good for democracy, is good for the Democratic Party. It will increase voter turnout and that always works in our effort to

defeat Republicans,” he said.

He declined to entertain the possibility of being considered as Clinton’s running mate, saying he was focused on winning the nomination. “If I don’t, we will see what happens later on.” But he reiterated that he would do “everything that I can” to ensure that Trump is not elected president.

Sanders said he had a “shot” at winning the California primary against Clinton and said, given his delegate deficit, it was “imperative” that he perform well. He estimated his rallies around the state would allow him to speak directly to 200,000 voters before the primary.

After making contact with Huewe, the deputy noticed an open alcohol container in the cup holder. The deputy also noticed that Huewe had bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech and the smell of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. Huewe consented to performing field sobriety testing. Huewe did not perform satisfactorily on any of the field sobriety tests and then refused to provide a sample for a preliminary breath test. Huewe was transported to the Adair County Jail where he refused to give a breath specimen to the datamaster.

Huewe was released Thursday on $1,000 bond.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, May 24, 2016

How government works My granddaughter’s civics class recently paid a visit to the state capitol in Des Moines. I’m always glad when students are exposed to how government works because, unfortunately, there’re an awful lot of people who appear to know absolutely nothing about it.

Their lack of information is obvious when they gripe about Supreme Court decisions and immediately start complaining about activist judges when they hear of a decision they don’t like.

I’ve heard them declare that it’s not right to have these “unelected lawyers” making laws. They forget that Supreme Court justices are not supposed to be elected, and making laws is not what they’re doing.

I repeat – justices don’t make laws. They consider whether or not laws made by the legislative branches of state and federal governments adhere to the Constitution, or if some action by either

In other words June Bower

public officials or private citizens is unconstitutional. Since it’s been more than two centuries since the Constitution was written, Supreme Court Justices also have to interpret how it relates to the complexities of today’s society.

People also complain about the legality of a president’s executive actions. Most of us don’t have a clue which actions are within the power of the executive branch and which ones aren’t, but that sure doesn’t stop us from having an opinion. One thing is for sure, when the Supreme Court votes on whether President Obama can delay deportation of some illegal immigrants, half of us are going to like it and half of us are going to hate the decision because it will

probably be a 4-4 split.

It’s important that students learn how our founding fathers, in their wisdom, designed a government where the executive, legislative and judicial branches have their own distinct responsibilities – called the separation of powers. They made certain, however, there are ways to correct things when one branch oversteps its authority – a system of checks and balances. Some of these checks are the president’s veto power over legislation, or the power of Congress to override a president’s veto.

Other examples are the Supreme Court’s power to declare legislation or a president’s executive action unconstitutional.

There are checks on the Supreme Court as well; for example, the power of the legislative branch to rewrite laws to withstand a Supreme Court challenge, and the power to pass a constitutional amendment. And, lastly, the pow-

er of the president to nominate justices to the Supreme Court and the power of the Senate to advise and consent. It can seem very complex, and it is, but the system is also brilliant and has resulted in the outstanding record of the American democratic form of government.

There really isn’t another example of a nation where democracy has been so successful. That’s why I find it really annoying when politicians and citizens complain about how terrible our country is and always forget that the United States was established as a Republic. Those wise men who created the Constitution understood that pure democracy can lead to tyranny.

People become outraged when laws supported by the majority are ruled unconstitutional by the courts. They can’t understand why, in a democratic system of government, the majority doesn’t always win. Well, the founding fa-

thers understood that laws created by the majority can sometimes be very wrong, and can totally undermine the rights of individuals, and even whole groups of people.

They anticipated that those in power might pass laws demanded by the public that could have an adverse effect on those in the minority.

In fact, there have been hundreds of laws passed, especially by the states, that have been harmful to millions of American citizens, and, unfortunately, local, state and federal legislators are still passing such laws today. Often, out of plain and simple bigotry, legislators continue to dream up ways to infringe on the rights of citizens. Fortunately, many of these laws will eventually be ruled unconstitutional. In the meantime, the legislative work that needs to be done goes undone, and much needed funding gets spent on lawsuits.

It’s probably not what the founding fathers had in mind.

Letter to the editor

Railroad crossings could use plants and paint From Karon Jones Creston

Attention civic leaders, organizations and City of Creston: In your efforts to beautify our city, and in order to make a more positive impression on the many visitors expected this summer and also for the local citizens, I hope you will give serious consideration to improving the surroundings when drivers or pedestrians cross the railroad tracks at Elm and Adams streets.

I feel the wooden barriers that were installed for safety are unattractive, as well as confusing. I am suggesting that the bare wood on the backs of those signs be painted a neutral gray to make the job look more complete. This would still leave the red and white boards on

the front of the signs more prominent as a warning to drivers.

Some large flower pots with blooming plants placed in the grassy areas near both entrances to the railroad tracks, near the little shelter house or in the parking lots on either side of the street could be an attractive addition. Even some low shrubs or small flowers in pots placed on the bare cement slab at the north crossing would be helpful, but not too distracting.

I was hoping when the cement slab was being built that it would be for the purpose of an attractive flower garden or plants.

The flower pots in the uptown area are looking nice; however, there are still a few that have not yet been planted.

Thank you for your consideration.

Trump support confused with concussion symptoms HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Jack Nicklaus was interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning and he endorsed Donald Trump for president. Jack faces no backlash from the PGA like he would from the NFL. Last month, Tom Brady endorsed Donald Trump for president, automatically triggering the NFL concussion protocols.

NFL bad boy Johnny Manziel was kicked out of Jewel Nightclub in Las Vegas Saturday after an altercation with another customer following a performance by rapper Drake. His trip to rehab didn’t take last year. Johnny Manziel prefers mixed drinks, he likes to mix rum with cocaine and crack.

Clark County water engineers report that the water level in Lake Mead near Las Vegas is at an alltime low. It’s changing daily life.

The water level is so low at Lake Mead that the Mafia is having to resort to dumping the bodies of deadbeat gamblers into the Caesar’s Palace swimming pool.

Prime Minister David Cameron ripped Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslim immigration, calling it dangerous. The media lets you call Trump any name you like, because he’s a German-American. It could be hundreds of years before Germans can protest being stereotyped as dangerous.

Donald Trump fired back at the New York Times after its piece saying Trump was a serial womanizer was refuted by the women the

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

article quoted. His success speaks for itself. When Donald Trump was 13 his father told him he could become anything he wanted to be, so he became a sex addict.

Mexico’s former president Vicente Fox said he will meet with Donald Trump if he apologizes for his Cinco de Mayo tweet. It showed Trump eating a taco salad and saying he loves Hispanics. Of course Hispanics were first to point out that a taco salad is basically a salad surrounded by a wall.

Secret Service agents shot a man who tried to enter the South Gate at the White House Friday with a gun in his hand. The shooting occurred three miles from the nearest golf course, so the president was never in any danger. Obama was a little upset that the Secret Service shot a hole in one and he didn’t.

The California High Speed Rail Authority met in Bakersfield to decide which part of the city to demolish for the bullet train to pass.

Try restaurant row. If you go into the nicest restaurant in Bakersfield and ask for a table with a view, they sit you down and leave the ladies room door open.

Vice President Joe Biden in a speech Thursday called on Americans to have an uncomfortable con-

versation with each other on race relations in America. Tensions are high. Black people and white people have a tough time getting along in Los Angeles, because neither one of us speak Spanish.

Boston surgeons performed the first successful penis transplant in America on 64-year-old Thomas Manning Tuesday. Surgeons say trickiest part about a penis transplant is finding a donor. It’s no coincidence that this week security’s been tightened around Wilt Chamberlain’s grave.

American Express collection agents sued Charlie Sheen for his $200,000 unpaid balance on Friday.

He just listed for sale his house on Mulholland Drive where he’s lived for 20 years. Charlie’s realtor says it’s the perfect house for a young threesome just starting out.

Democrats on Thursday openly worried about rioting at the Democratic Convention by Bernie Sanders fans. They’re fervent. Bernie Sanders is the only 74-year-old man in America who has college girls pointing at him and screaming without standing in a lineup at the police station.

NASA scientists in Houston confirmed Wednesday that government astronomers have tracked down 1,200 planets in the Milky Way that are capable of sustaining human life. This is big political news. If Trump is elected president everybody in Hollywood doesn’t have to go to Canada.

‘Oxygen Thief’ becomes self-published success NEW YORK (AP) — The fair-skinned man with the hoodie and dark ski cap sits on a bench outside McNally Jackson Books in downtown Manhattan, where neither patrons nor employees seem aware that he’s the author of a work so in demand at the store that it’s often out of stock.

Known to his growing fan base as “Anonymous,” he has given us one of the more unusual self-published successes: “Diary of an Oxygen Thief,” a 147-page fictionalized memoir, or autobiographical novel, depending on how much of this story of a recovering alcoholic and the damage he has inflicted and absorbed you care to believe.

“It has an unusual negative space,” says the author, who on email uses the names Tom Wilkinson and Stanley Easyday and prefers to be identified as O2Thief. “It couldn’t be more naked, but at the same time ... ‘Who the hell is it?’ I think it’s a very powerful place to write.”

Some books catch on immediately, others take their time, but “Oxygen Thief” has really followed the scenic route. First published by the author in 2006, the book has slipped on and off the charts ever since, apparently dependent on the occasional tweet or other online comment. “Oxygen Thief” has been such a homegrown operation that the author not only served as his own editor and cover designer, but has also sold the book in the streets and would personally ship it to retailers, sometimes taking on orders for thousands of copies.

His workload is about to lighten. This year, “Oxygen Thief” cracked the top 20 on both Amazon.com and iTunes, enough to interest literary agent Byrd Leavell and eventually a publisher, Gallery Books, a pop culture imprint of Simon & Schuster that plans to release an e-edition this week and a paper version in mid-June. (Film rights have been acquired by Gotham Group.)

“I monitor the Amazon top 100 regularly, and while many self-published titles make a brief appearance there, a persistent best-seller commands special attention,” said Gallery executive editor Jeremie Ruby-Strauss, whose authors have included Tucker Max, Ace Frehley and Grace Jones.

Douglas Singleton, a buyer and manager at McNally Jackson, said the store has sold more than 200 copies of “Oxygen Thief,” the in-house record for a “consignment order.” Asked if he has met the author, Singleton said he wasn’t sure. He thinks the man who delivers copies of “Oxygen Thief” is the book’s writer, but it’s been a couple of years since he’s seen him.

“We’ve often talked about the mysterious nature of the person who drops off the book,” Singleton said. “I have an email address for him and sometimes I’ll contact him and say we’re sold out and we need another 20 copies. And I get no answer back. Then I’ll be walking behind the register one day and there’ll be 20 copies. And one of my co-workers will say, ‘Someone dropped off a bag and said it was for you.’”

Mainstream recognition does not mean you will learn more about him, beyond what he includes in the book.

Anonymous authors, even ones who meet with reporters, don’t do book tours.

Ruby-Strauss is counting on social media (the author himself has a website, http://www.02thief.com , and Twitter feed, @02thief) and expects that he will give telephone interviews.

“The book has such an underground feel to it, a nontraditional promotional campaign focusing on these elements makes perfect sense,” the editor said.

tor of his book, he has spent much of his professional life in advertising. He declines to give his exact age, but says — plausibly — that he’s at least 40.

The author had never attempted a book before “Oxygen Thief,” but wanted to give it a try, unsure if or why anyone would care about a man who begins his tale by confiding, “I liked hurting girls.” The first half reads like a variation of J.P. Donleavy’s “The Ginger Man,” the comic saga of a ne’erdo-well and the affairs ruined by his own design. The gods strike back in the second half as the O2Thief falls for a photographer identified as Aisling and eventually learns — or thinks he learns — she is using him for a book about relationships.

“We can’t be sure this really happened,” the author explained. “It’s like a Hitchcockian story — his view of the world.”

“When I started the book, I understood immediately why it had captured the spirit of the times,” Ruby-Strauss said. “I continued reading, and I discovered it was not the book I thought it was; then I finished reading, only to find my latter revelation was also incorrect. I felt unsettled about the whole thing for several days, which struck me as very promising.”

Ignored appliances might get heated

Dear Heloise: My mother told me never to leave an APPLIANCE RUNNING unattended.

Within a month recently, three things happened: 1) I had to replace my dishwasher. When the old one was removed, there was serious heat damage on the cabinet next to it.

2) When I told a friend, she told me they had recently bought a new dishwasher, and about a month later, she started it after dinner and went into the living room to relax with her husband. Soon they realized that the kitchen was on fire. The fire was extinguished without injury, and the company replaced the dishwasher and repaired the damage to the kitchen.

3) My daughter was baking and went to add another dish to the oven. She realized that the oven was way too hot. She tried to turn it down and then tried to turn it off, without success. Finally she was able to shut off the power. The stove and the wall behind it were too hot to touch.

Most appliances work as they should, but new or old, there are a few that have a problem. I no longer start the dishwasher as I head to bed. – Ann J., Deer Park, Wash.

Examples like these remind us all why it’s a good habit to start the dishwash-

Hints from Heloise er right after dinner and not leave the clothes dryer running while you go to bed or run errands. – Heloise GIFT RECEIPT Dear Heloise: Concerning the column regarding gift cards (Heloise here: The hint was to have the cashier show that the amount asked for was put on the gift card before leaving the store): I’ve had several unpleasant experiences with giving gift cards. Now I always purchase the gift card on its own cash-register receipt and give the receipt with the card. It has solved many problems, and everyone is happy. – Harriet G., via email I know many people who do this as well when giving gift cards. It shows the amount and takes away any question as to when and how much was gifted.

A good hint. – Heloise

LASTING ARRANGEMENTS Dear Heloise: I periodically receive beautiful floral arrangements. Although I do tend to them, eventually the flowers fade away. I still have lovely

greens in very good condition. I wash the stems, trim them and put them in clean water, then go to the store and purchase a bunch of new flowers to add to the greenery. Now I have another lovely arrangement.

VINYL TABLECLOTH Dear Heloise: I love reading your hints in The (Baton Rouge, La.) Advocate. I have some hints for those inexpensive vinyl, flannel-backed tablecloths.

They make great temporary curtains. Also, upside down, they work as picnic blankets or emergency outdoor seating. – Indy F., Gonzales, La. ORGANIZER TRAY Dear Heloise: Here is a hint to keep drawer-organizer trays from sliding to the rear of the drawer: I cut an empty cardboard BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker paper-towel roll to fit and place it between the tray and the back of the drawer.

Horoscope For Wednesday, May 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Conversations with authority figures (bosses, parents and the police) might be heated today. Chill out. Part of the problem is that something unexpected will catch you off guard.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoid controversial subjects today, because people are entrenched in their own point of view and will listen to no one else. Therefore, save your breath! Travel plans will change.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Keep an eye on your bank account to know what’s happening today, because something unexpected might occur. It could impact inheritances and shared property agreements.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Because something is unexpected, this could throw you off your game when dealing with partners and close friends.

Do your best to stay calm so that you can handle the unexpected.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today your work routine will be interrupted by computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages, canceled meetings and such. Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Parents should be extra vigilant today, because this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Romantic partners will also encounter speed bumps.

Oops. Be patient.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You like to keep the peace with others for your own peace of mind. Therefore, avoid arguments with partners and close friends today. Be cool.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do.

If you are mindful and aware, you will be fine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Keep an eye on your money and cash flow today.

Count your change. Doublecheck your bills and invoices, because something unexpected will affect your wealth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today the Moon is in your sign, lined up with Pluto and at odds with Uranus. Guard against impulsive, impetuous behavior. Think before you act.

Watch out for knee-jerk reactions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to

Feb. 18)Something hidden or behind the scenes will catch you off guard today. Patience and an unhurried pace will be your best approach to happiness.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A friend might surprise you today. Alternatively, you might meet someone new who is a real character. This person likely will be bohemian or “out there” in some way -- definitely unusual.

YOU BORN TODAY You are tough and adaptable but also idealistic. Basically, you are a

fighter who supports a cause or family values that are dear to your heart. This is a year of choice. You likely will make an important decision. In the first half of the year, reduce your overhead expenses so that you are financially strong later in the year. Happiness is having alternatives.

ISSB Night with kid’s candy drop

By TREVOR MAEDER Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Night five of the 2016 season at Adams County Speedway brought the guest apperance of ISSBee, as well as a kid’s candy drop at intermission courtesy of the Ferrerra Candy Company.

Hobscheidt goes back to back Jacob Hobscheidt picked up his first career win at ACS in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds last week, and he went for win number two Saturday.

Shenandoah native Bob Bopp led the field to green and held the lead for the early stages of the race.

Clearfield’s Cody Werner seems to have gotten his No. 21 machine dialed in, as he jumped into the lead with around 10 laps to go.

It looked as if Werner was going to collect his first B-mod career win, but a late caution came out with two laps to go. Hobscheidt got a wonderful restart and jumped in front of Werner en route to his second consecutive win. Werner got a season best runner-up fin-

ish, points leader Ryan Jenkins finished third, Kody Havens fourth and Shawn Kralik fifth.

Bass gets win in first trip to ACS Gary Bass is no stranger to victory lane. The reigning Fairgrounds Speedway Track Champion made his first ever appearance at Adams County Speedway and made an early statement by winning his heat race in the Northland Oil Pro-stocks.

The feature started with pole sitter David Naill Jr. suffering a flat tire prior to the start of the race. Glen Hoyt led the early part of the race before Bass got his No. 27 machine dialed in and jumped out to the lead.

Championship contenders Greg Miller and Joe Zadina ran into troubles, while Kevin Sharp tried to reel in Bass. Bass held off Sharp and the rest of the field with a comfortable lead and picked up his first ever win at ACS. Joe Zadina finished third, followed

by Glen Hoyt in fourth and Butch Bass in fifth.

Three in a row for ‘Cool Hand’ Luke “Cool Hand” Luke Ram-

sey has a new Chat Mobility Hobby Stock sitting in his shed waiting to make its first appearance at the Adams County Speedway, but the way his current car has been performing, he might be skeptical of bringing it.

Ramsey started in the 10th spot and wasted little time getting to the front of the field. Once Ramsey got to the front, he checked out and won the race in convincing fashion, his third win in a row. Kurt Hansen shook off his early season woes with a second-place finish. Kenny Champ returned to ACS and brought home a third place, Chris Bates finished with a career-best fourth and Keil Brittain rounded out the top five.

Dennis wins third in a row Ramsey wasn’t the only driver to garner his third consecutive win on Saturday night.

Prescott native Jesse Dennis did it as well in the POET Biorefining Modifieds. Dennis started in sixth and assumed the lead before the leaders even came to the start/finish line.

Dennis did his best with

Hampel shakes off struggles In the offseason, John Hampel got a brand new Black Diamond Chassis for the No. 2H. Hampel struggled early on in the season trying to adapt to the new car.

He adapted well on Saturday night, capturing his first win of the season in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Late Models. Colton Leal and his father Mike started on the front row, but Hampel quickly took the lead.

Last week’s winner, “Rocket” Robbie Anderson proved to be the toughest challenge for Hampel and looked as if he might be able to get around him, but a caution came out just before Anderson could pass.

Hampel hit his marks on the restart and was able to collect his first win of the season. Defending cham-

Panthers bounce Ballard to reach state semifinals

By LARRY PETERSON competition in Waterloo.

CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

“Not only to get to the final four, but to beat Ballard to do it, that’s p r e t t y awesome,” said Panther No. 1 singles Taylor player Jenna Taylor.

When a Ballard player returned a shot out of bounds to complete a 6-3, 7-5 Panther victory at No. 1 doubles for the much-anticipated fifth and clinching win of the dual, Taylor bellowed her trademark winning scream, “LET’S GO!” At the same time that was occurring, the No. 3 doubles team of Gracie Russell and Ann Waigand was locked in a 10-point super tiebreaker to determine the winner after each team had survived on top of a 7-5 set.

Moments earlier, Panthers Caitlin McIlravy and Sydney Dunphy had just dropped a super tiebreaker, 10-5, after fighting back from a 6-2 set defeat to win the second set, 6-4.

NORWALK — Camanche. Decorah. Waterloo Columbus. Le Mars. Creston/O-M. One of those teams is the best Class 1A girls tennis team in the state. (Columbus meets Le Mars today for the right to play in the state semifinals.)

To make it that far for the first time in program history is something special for this group of Panther seniors in the varsity lineup. Every other year of their high school career, their hopes in team postseason play were derailed by perennial power Ballard of Huxley.

On Monday, the Panthers turned the tables from a 5-4 defeat at home on April 15 to beat the Bombers when it counted, 5-3, in the first round of Class 1A state tournament play.

The semifinals and finals are 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at Byrnes Park in Waterloo. Singles and doubles championships will be determined on the previous two days, with two Tense finish Creston/O-M doubles teams So, while Creston/O-M making it a full weekend of needed to win only one of

the three doubles matches for the victory after going 4-2 in singles, that last win seemed elusive for a time when both the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams were trailing in the second set, and Russell and Waigand had already lost a set.

“I never count my chickens,” head coach Kevin Cooper said. “It could have been any of our doubles teams clinching it for us, or Ballard could have won any of those matches. They have great kids and they played like their backs were to the wall.”

Russell and Waigand were behind in their super tiebreaker, 4-3, at the moment when Ballard lost the final point at No. 1 doubles.

But, Cooper said the fact that both the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams extended close matches kept the momentum from swaying too heavily toward Ballard’s side, or put too much pressure on the No. 1 doubles

team, which was favored to repeat its win from the April 15 dual.

“It was huge that those other girls extended their matches like they did, fighting back to get into the tiebreaker,” Cooper said. “ W h e n Cooper you need one point, and if you loselose quickly in those other matches, then the momentum just goes 100 percent against you. I’ve seen that happen when our boys were right here on this court playing to get to the final four, and we let Red Oak back into the match and they took it.”

Another key win was by Sydney Dunphy at No. 4 singles. She prevented singles from ending at 3-3 by prevailing in a match where one set was decided on a tiebreaker, and the other went to 7-5. Ballard won No. 5 and No. 6 singles matches on super tiebreakers.

“We’re just happy to win and survive,” Cooper said.

Creston baseball takes season opener 16-6 over SW Valley

By JOEL LAMB

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

The Creston varsity baseball squad kicked off its season with a promising victory Monday night over the Southwest Valley Timberwolves, 16-6.

While the Panthers worked out some kinks in their defense, their bats came alive to start the season off on the right foot.

“We hit the ball,” said head coach Steve Birchard.

“They helped us a couple times and we took advantage.”

The Panthers blew the game wide open in the third inning, stringing together a series of walks and base hits with designated hitter Beau Barncastle placing an exclamation point on the inning with a three-RBI double.

Barncastle also knocked in the winning run with a single in the bottom of the sixth, ending the game via the 10run mercy rule.

Coach Birchard said of the win, “It was a good start for us. Southwest Valley’s got a good team; they’re headed in the right direction.”

CARROLL — The Creston/O-M girls golf team dominated the field here Monday at the Class 4A Region 1 Final, earning the program’s first berth to the state tournament since Leeanne Owens starred for the Panthers in the 1998 and 1999 state-qualifying seasons.

Creston/O-M finished as regional champions with its team score of 349, finishing 30 strokes ahead of runner-up Spencer.

“I can’t say how proud I am of the girls,” C r e s ton/O-M assistant coach Jon Thomson said.

“They all Thomson improved and played so well today.”

The Panthers endured a 2-hour rain delay and still came out swinging.

Sophomore Ashton Carter finished as runner-up with her 18-hole score of 86, leading a charge of Panthers in the top six.

Madison Hance and Sophia Groumoutis tied with rounds of 87, joined by Spencer’s Mariah Irlmiter.

After carding the scores, Groumoutis finished third, Irlmiter fourth and Hance fifth.

“Sophia was awesome today,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Ryan McKim said.

“She is really playing good golf right now.”

Camryn Somers finished sixth overall, one spot out of an individual qualifying spot, with her round of 89.

Hayley Osmun posted a career-best round of 98. Morgan Shawler finished with a score of 132.

“Camryn had a couple of tough holes, but overall played a great round of golf and finished with a par on the hardest hole McKim on the course,” McKim said.

“What a day! We start playing and it started to rain.

Cleared up, we were playing OK. Most girls had finished nine holes,” Creston/O-M head coach Jan Lesan said.

“Then the rain hit and lightning. We were inside for 2 hours. We went back out onto Lesan the course and dominated. These girls were not going to be denied a trip to state.”

After carding a 48 on the front nine, Carter posted a score of 38 on the back nine coming out of the 2-hour rain delay. Carter and the rest of the Panthers spent time on the practice green putting in the drizzle after the lightning stopped.

“Hayley Osmun coming in with a personal best 98, Ashton putting together a great back nine coming out of that 2-hour rain delay,” Thomson said. “Sophia was also on fire with her putting today to close out her second nine 4-over to finish strong. Madison was consistent as always. She is out strong leader. Camryn, after struggling the last couple of weeks, really turned things around when things counted.”

The Panthers advance to the Class 4A State Golf Tournament at Coldwater Links in Ames, May 31June 1. The event uses a 9 a.m. shotgun start on both days.

“Awesome day for these kids,” McKim said. “Memories for a lifetime!”

Joining the Panthers in the Class 4A field are Spencer, Fairfield, Pella, Dubuque Wahlert, Western Dubuque, Mount Pleasant and Washington.

Birchard was encouraged by the initial team effort, but knows his squad’s season will continue to bring challenges.

“We’ve got Glenwood coming up tomorrow, one of the top teams in the conference,” Birchard said.

“Wednesday we have Indianola, a big school to come down here and give us a good challenge.”

Panther girls gain momentum for playoffs

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

The Creston girls closed their home season and the regular season on a high note Monday, topping Carlisle 5-2.

The match was originally scheduled today at Carlisle.

The date was changed to avoid a conflict of several players with a conference softball game today at Glenwood, and then the site was switched.

“I’m not sure why they had to move it, but it worked out well for our girls to play another game at home this season,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer.

The Panthers (4-12) are now idle until the May 31 Class 1A Region 2 opener at Treynor at 6 p.m. The winner plays at Underwood on June 3. Treynor is 5-8 going into Wednesday’s home match against Riverside.

Freshman Taylor Buxton had three goals and an assist for the Panthers Monday night and senior S h e l b y Buxton Palser chipped in two goals and an assist from the front of the offensive formation. Carlisle (3-10) fell behind 3-0 at halftime as Buxton scored two goals, one assisted by Palser, and Palser hit one in off an assist from Logan Pettit.

Palser made it 4-0 early in the second half before Carlisle scored successive goals to cut it to 4-2 with three minutes to Palser play. Rachel Wignall assisted Buxton’s insurance goal in the final minute.

“Taylor and Shelby worked well together tonight,” Lauffer said. “With Shelby up front and Taylor in the midfield behind her, it seemed like they were reading each other well and making the return pass when it was there. At the end we had Rachel up front and she was aggressive, too.”

Missing two starters playing in spring sports, the Creston softball team made quick work of Southwest Valley here Monday in the season opener.

Creston spotted junior starter Cali Foglesong five runs in the first inning and added 10 more in the second inning on its way to a 15-0 win in three innings.

Foglesong struck out four and issued no walks, pitching a perfect two innings before senior Taylor Briley pitched the final inning in relief. Briley struck out two in a perfect frame.

“Probably benefitted us pitching-wise to jump out early,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said. “Probably helped Cali to get five runs that first inning. I thought she threw OK first time out.”

Josie Sickels started the Panthers’ offensive onslaught with a leadoff double before Briley stroked a tworun single. Lexie Little and Morghan Frey added RBI base hits in the five-run first inning.

Little added an RBI triple and Alyssa Higgins hit a

double in the second inning.

Frey added an RBI double and Chloe Hagle drove in a run. Mattie Wheeler hit an RBI single and Higgins drove in two more runs with a single. Foglesong and Jami Sickels each drove in one run in the inning.

Briley, Little, Higgins and Foglesong each finished with two hits and two RBI in the win.

Creston travels to Hawkeye 10 Conference rival Glenwood tonight in an early-season conference showdown.

“It seems odd that early that we’ve got a conference game, but it is kind of a big one,” McCabe said. “Certainly we’ll have to step up and be even better tomorrow night than we were tonight.

No doubt about that. There will be a big difference in competition.”

lineup, not just those going to state in doubles, get to experience that weekend and compete at the state level.”

The relief after those close matches was evident in the emotions of assistant coach Amanda Plymale, who shared a hug with Panther players coming off the court.

Assistant Anthony Donahoo was also present for Monday’s competition.

Thomsen said she and her state-placewinning doubles partner were determined not to let Ballard snatch away such a coveted goal by this group of players and coaches.

“Jenna and I knew we couldn’t let this one get away,” Thomsen said. “We just had to put more pressure on them and not play safe. I knew the first time we played them we had a lot of close matches that could Junior varsity have gone either way, and The Creston JV team we were capable of coming opened its season with a 1-0 win over Southwest Valley on Monday.

Panthers compete in 2-0 loss

HARLAN — Harlan (98) managed one goal in each half for a hard-fought 2-0 victory to advance to the substate semifinals Wednesday at Sioux City Bishop Heelan.

Creston’s season ends at 2-13, but coach Lucian Diaconu said that doesn’t tell the story of his team’s progress.

“We played much better than when we lost to them at home,” Diaconu said. “We came away feeling we ended the season with strong play.”

The Panthers came out with a 4-2-3-1 formation designed to be more disruptive to Harlan’s potent offensive attack, and it worked throughout most of the first half.

“We only gave up two serious presses into our (defensive) area and one was

said. “With 27 seconds left in the first half, as the clock was winding down, we had some trouble getting defenders to recover back in time.”

Drew Vogue got the goal with Drayke Eshelman credited with the assist.

Tanner Funk got the second goal about 20 minutes into the second half.

“We were getting some good possessions and shots

by Gavin Woods, Ben Irr and Henrik Schulz, but they were all stopped by the keeper or denied by one of their players,” Diaconu said.

“We kept fighting, and that’s what we had talked about so I was proud of them.”

It was a solid performance right up to the quick flurry of two Carlisle goals in the final 20 minutes.

“We had some missteps by our defense and they had some speed in their offense,” Lauffer said. “We played on our heels for awhile with that lead and they took the ball into our defensive middle third a lot to put more pressure on us. For the most part, though, our defense was playing well together. Jeanette Blasi seems to come out of nowhere sometimes to make plays.”

With senior Becca Ross unavailable, junior Leah Schuler took over at goalkeeper and made five saves.

“The way we played tonight was a boost for us heading into the Treynor game,” Lauffer said. “I told

“We aren’t done yet,” Cooper said. “We are proud to be in the final four, but we want to win it all. We have to continue to practice hard and play better than we did today.
