Reynolds could become governor by next week

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

When President Donald Trump nominated Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to be the next Ambassador to China, he set the wheels in motion for Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds to become Iowa’s first leading lady. His Reynolds journey to Washington has been slow-going, but now, with Branstad soaring through approval hearings, Reynolds could take over the governorship by the end of next

week.

With a staunchly Republican stance and a skin-tight budget, the Osceola resident might have a rougher start than anticipated.

In the past, Reynolds has done an impressive job of stimulating business for the state of Iowa – going on trade missions from South America to Asia and, according to her online biography, helping to bring more than $13 billion in new investments to the state.

Unfortunately, the current economic climate in Iowa could prove to be an obstacle. Iowa is straining under the weight of a $231 million budget shortfall experts don’t expect to let up GOV | 4

Always on the go Following Drake Relays director Blake Boldon in his first relays

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — Blake Boldon’s Saturday morning started well before dawn, as did many of his days recently in his first go-around as director of the Drake Relays.

There were tasks to be done at the office and in and around the center of the Iowa track and field universe.

By mid-morning April 29, the 38-year old Osceola native had been all over the Drake University campus

and then some.

As he was moving from event to event, and to different aspects that make the Drake Relays work together, a radio headset in his ear and his trusty cellphone were constantly buzzing.

There were questions about this part of the Relays; a coach had a question about a race; there was a misplaced banner for the finish line of the Drake Relays Road Race; banners that were supposed to have been put up at the finish line before the race, but BOLDON | 8

Seat belt myth busting From May 22 to June 4, 2017, state and local law enforcement agencies across the nation, as well as Iowa, will be stepping up seat belt enforcement. Memorial Day weekend kicks off the busy summer season with many more families on the roads.

Iowa’s seat belt usage rate of 94 percent is one of the highest in the nation but ht remaining six percent of vehicle occupants account for approximately half of all traffic fatalities.

Seat belts are the single most effective way to survive in a crash.

The Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau would like to bust some seat belt myths (2015 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration): * Pickup trucks will not protect you in a crash if you are not wearing a seat belt. Sixty percent of pickup truck occupants who were killed were not buckled in.

That compares to 42 percent of passenger car occupants.

* Where you sit in the vehicle does not matter.

Forty-seven percent of all front-seat passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing seat belts, but 57 percent of those killed in back seats were unrestrained. * Country driving is not safer. Nationwide, there were 12,797 traffic fatalities on rural roads compared to 8,262 on urban streets. Fifty percent of those killed in rural crashes were unbuckled compared to 46 percent in urban cities. * Young drivers are not invincible and they are dying at a disproportionate rate because they are not wearing seat belts, especially young males.

Remember: The habit of buckling up is as simple as turning on a light switch. It should be an automatic action for you and everyone in your vehicle. Day and night, front seat and back, Click It or Ticket! You just might save a life.

CARSPA minutes from May 8 meeting CARSPA met for their regular monthly meeting on Monday, May 8, 2017, at 9:30 a.m. at the Osceola Senior Center following social time at 9:00. Hostesses Eleanor Gage and Venita Escher served donuts, coffee, and water. There were 14 members present with Linda Foland presiding.

Guest presenters were Megan Oswald and Jenna Sanquist. Both are juniors at ISU. Through the Cornerstone Church in Ames, they learned about the mission trip possibilities and the application and screening process. Both girls were successful in receiving the opportunity.

Megan outlined the highlights of her mission trip to Albania for 8 weeks last summer. She demonstrated their custom of how to greet people. They distributed food to some in need. They shared Christian outreach activities to youth. Muslim and Catholic religions dominated the area. Their mission group of four did mountain climbing with many Albanians and celebrated Ramadan with a Muslim family.

Megan demonstrated how to make hand motions to demonstrate the country’s double headed flag. They also taught English classes and took classes in Albanian.

Jenna Sanquist’s mission trip to China revealed three basic cultures: guilt, shame, and fear. Her mission group of four students used translators to present Bible studies in the homes. Many different village dialects resulted in a translator translating for another translator at one point. Many of the Chinese were Buddests or Atheists who prayed to their ancestors as respect to them.

Family honor and fortune were important to the Chinese. The mission group did

members that dues need paid now.

After learning that the Senior Center questioned why we were paying for coffee as it was not expected and that no other groups were paying for coffee, a motion was made and seconded to discontinue that coffee payment.

The district meeting will be held in Osceola on May 17, 2017. Volunteers reviewed the sheets of duties and planned attendance lists. About 50 participants are expected to attend.

Linda Foland read “And then it is Winter.” The meeting adjourned at 10:55 a.m.

Venita Escher, Recording Secretary

“Iowa Farm Bureau members know that by investing in our youth and communities, we’re investing in the future of Iowa,” said IFBF President Craig Hill. “We have been honored to be a title sponsor of the Annual Governor’s Scholar Recognition Ceremony for the past 15 years to celebrate Iowa’s exceptional high school students.

Iowa Farm Bureau is proud to be a leading contributor to educational programs and annual scholarships for our youth.”

Each high school was invited to select a senior student with the highest academic ranking, based

on grade point average for their first seven semesters.

Students selected for the award also had the opportunity to recognize their favorite/most influential teacher and will receive a photo plaque of their meeting with Governor Branstad and Lt. Governor Reynolds.

“The principles learned through academic success, like those learned from participation in education-based activities, help develop outstanding leaders and citizens,” said lliSAA Executive Director Alan Beste. “The partnership between the lliSAA and the Iowa Farm Bureau,

a l o n g with the g r e a t cooperation of the Governor’s Office has made Morris this prestigious event possible for many years.”

Ninety-nine percent of those recognized also participate in extra-curricular school activities, with more than 75 percent participating in at least one interscholastic sport. More than 65 percent of the group plan to continue their education in Iowa.

In July 2001, Dean and Agnes retired. In the next few years, Dean and Ag traveled a lot and camped.

They enjoyed going to Yuma, Arizona, for the winters. Agnes passed away Dec. 31, 2004.

During Dean’s time in Guthrie Center, he started a Jaycee chapter, which he served as president. He went on to hold state Jaycee offices.

In later years, Dean enjoyed camping at the State Fair and camping in general. He loved cooking over and just sitting around the campfire and smoking different kinds of meats. His real joy was watching his grandkids compete in the different sports and rarely missed a game. He liked to spend time with his friend Lois, the past 10 years, who helped him through some rough times.

Per Dean: this is a condensed version of his life and times – his friends and family can tell you a lot more stories; some can’t be written but overall he had a good life and liked to have fun and was known to tell “a story or two ... ” Memorial services will be 10 a.m. Saturday, May 13, at Twigg Funeral Home, 219 E.

End of legislative session highlights Medicaid concerns

By HILARY FERRAND

OST news editor hferrand@osceolaiowa.com

Activity related to the 2017 legislative session wrapped up Friday, May 12, as Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad signed 10 final bills into law. Barring any last-minute surprises, the signings will also be his final actions as governor of Iowa. Branstad’s confirmation as Ambassador to China could come as early as next week.

The final Legislative Luncheon held in Clarke County took place April 7 at Lakeside Hotel and Casino. Iowa Representative Joel Fry Fry (R-Osceola) and Iowa Senator Amy Sinclair (R-Lamoni) attended to discuss bills being considered, as well as existing laws and how they impact the lives of residents in the area.

These meetings are held monthly throughout the legislative season. Luncheons include a complementary meal with drinks and dessert, and the public is invited to attend.

anytime soon. Critics point to generous tax incentives Branstad offered big businesses as the main culprit, which might limit support for incentive packages needed for future economic development when Reynolds needs them the most.

Growing opposition Opposing candidates for the governorship have already started to crawl out of the woodwork. Des Moines-area attorney Nate Boulton announced his Democratic campaign run on Thursday, May 4. By Friday, he’d received backing by 10 labor unions in Iowa, representing 20,000 workers. State Representative Todd Prichard (D-Charles City) is running on a platform for “Forgotten Iowa,” and grassroots candidate Gary Wells from Lamoni has been making the rounds strongly in support of worker rights.

Reynolds is well-prepared for the fight. According to campaign finance reports released Jan. 17, the former Clarke County treasurer has amassed $1,084,979.06 for her run in 2018.

Early controversy Reynolds is also starting off her time in office at odds with Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller. Earlier, Miller said Reynolds was within her rights to name her own successor. Miller reversed that decision May 1, releasing an official 28page opinion insisting state

Despite state officials declaring Medicaid Modernization a success, the failings of Medicaid privatization took center stage at the luncheon. The state’s budget crunch isn’t helping.

Kathy Lerma with the Decatur County branch of Cross Mental Health Services was especially concerned about the lower rates of funding received, which were approximately half of the original budget. For 2018, the budget has been cut even further, to just $331,000. It isn’t enough to get through a quarter of the year’s expenses.

“We really need crisis funding,” said Lerma, who pointed out the services provided keep sick people out of jail and in treatment.

Areas like Clarke and Decatur counties are especially hard hit, as rural regions offset the costs for increased services in urban centers like Des Moines.

She pushed for a strategic spending plan so counties can receive amounts capable of sustaining core services to those most in need.

Ryan Hopkins, a Unity Point provider for pediatric home services, pointed to a 2700 person waiting list for Medicaid waivers. These waivers allow for the cov-

law requires a vote to fill the position.

Reynolds intends to move forward with the selection process. Brandstad released the following statement in support, “No new facts or laws have changed since Dec. 13, 2016. Tom Miller has allowed politics to cloud his judgment and is ignoring Iowa law. This politically motivated opinion defies common sense.”

Future plans for Iowa Like many of her female counterparts in politics, critics have referred to Reynolds as both a cheerleader and a puppet. While Branstad has been an influential mentor, the future governor of Iowa has been an agent of change since before she left home. Reynolds came to Branstad’s attention by making a name for herself as an effective representative, from the courthouse to the statehouse. Raised in a hard-working family in southern Iowa, those Republican roots are her own.

“I’m proud of the progress we made this year in making Iowa an even greater place to live, work and raise a family,” said Reynolds in a press release.

“With an unemployment rate the lowest it’s been in 16 years, coupled with many of these reforms, we are truly positioned for greatness in the future. Gov. Branstad and I will take a close look at all of the budget and policy bills that were passed in the past few days, and ensure the budget remains balanced, and policies are implemented that help grow the economy and protect

erage of services that fall outside typical needs when they are critical for patients.

Essentially, those who didn’t receive waivers before privatization are unable Sinclair to get one now, but worse, children who’ve had waivers and are aging out of pediatric coverage are losing essential care. Families are being forced to move their children into facilities — in some cases, out of state — capable of providing care they need to survive.

“There’s no mechanism in place to cover those services now,” said Hopkins at the luncheon, but the problem is worse than that given our current system. “We’re one year into a three year program. If [the MCOs] back out, there’s no contingency plan in the budget. Everybody in this room will be affected somehow.”

According to the experts, it appears Medicaid Modernization is saving money at the expense of the state’s most vulnerable citizens.

Louella Bolibaugh Thurston has tea at the White House Compiled by Marie White, Clarke County Historical Society

The following story appeared in the March 7, 1929, issue of the Osceola Sentinel.

Louella was born in Osceola in 1886 to Dr. William and Livardi Bolibaugh. She received her education in the Osceola schools and was married to local attorney Lloyd Thurston of Osceola in 1910.

Louella was active in civic affairs, organizing the Barnes-Moore Chapter of D.A.R. in Osceola and played a large part in organizing the Women’s Club in 1939.

From 1926 to 1940, she and Lloyd lived in Washington D.C. as he served in the U.S. Congress those years. She was one of the hostesses in the congressional set at the national capitol and widely known in local circles when Lloyd was a member of the Iowa state legislature.

She attended many state functions and receptions each season. There was always usual shopping and pleasant anticipation among all the ladies.

If the right pieces should fall into place and Reynolds steps into office in the middle of next week, a local celebration has tentatively been planned in her honor. Stay tuned to our website OsceolaIowa.com for further details.

The day of the reception arrived with sunshine and balmy springtime weather.

Guests were received at the east door of the White House. Their wraps were checked and the ladies gathered in the East Room used for all large gatherings and functions, with four fireplaces that were banked with ferns and flowers. She got to see the piano covered with gold leaf, a gift to the White House many years before. There were benches upholstered with a lovely brocade. The chandeliers were very large and the light on the crystal prisms added color and brightness to the room.

Mrs. Coolidge received the guests in the Green Room. She was gowned in a dark red, draped dress of silk. He buckled pumps matched her gown perfectly in color, although they were of kid, her hair just beginning to show grey.

She expressed her regret at leaving Washington.

Jackson participates in World Food Prize Iowa Youth Institute DES MOINES – Last Monday, the sixth annual World Food Prize Iowa Youth Institute brought together 299 students from 131 high schools at Iowa State University to explore critical issues related to global food security and discover academic and career paths in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The Iowa Youth Institute has now reached over 64 percent of all Iowa high schools since its inauguration in 2011 and has been referred to as the most unique and innovative event to inspire Iowa high school students to focus on global issues and opportunities in STEM. Mentored by Brandi Boyd, one student from Clarke Community Schools in Osceola participated this year. Alyssa Jackson researched climate volatility in Chad.

Governor Terry Branstad, as the luncheon speaker, spoke to the students about the importance of

For you students, it is your generation that must meet this challenge—which is perhaps the greatest challenge agriculture has ever faced.”

Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds spoke about how crucial the STEM programs are to students in Iowa.

“We need to have the most well-educated generation in the history of our state if we are to be able to do the research here on this campus, and to attract the companies and investors who will develop the new technologies that will enable us to produce more food, and more nutritious food, in a sustainable way.”

In addition to its benefits for the local economy, travel can also have a positive effect on personal well-being for residents of and visitors to Iowa. Numerous research studies have confirmed the positive health effects of travel and time off, from reducing the risk of heart disease to decreasing depression. Using time off to travel with family is good for everyone, especially our children—kids who travel with their families are more likely to attend college and earn more as adults.

Romans 5:20: “All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn’t, and doesn’t, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it’s sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. (The Message) Contagious. Truth is, both sin and grace are contagious. Each of us has the choice: Will we be agents of sin (death)…or grace (life)? Will we, as Maria put is, “breathe in Meanman (sin/death), or will we “breathe in Love-man (Jesus’ grace and life)?

Here’s the powerful truth of our choices: “All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that’s the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life – a life that goes on and on and on, world without end.”

(Romans 5:21, The Message) What do you think about Maria’s illustration and definition of “contagious?

How would you describe her message in “adult

The children were instructed to draw pictures showing what “contagious” meant. Many hesitated, not sure how to start. Others raised their hands, wanting to be sure they knew what “contagious” was before they began.

Not Maria. She got right to work.

First, she drew a stick-person with a mean face and raised arms with giant fists. Underneath it, she wrote: “Mean-man is MEAN. He hates. He’s contagious. Don’t breathe him in. Don’t be like Meanman.”

Then Maria drew another stick-person. This one had a smiling face, a valentine-shaped heart on its chest, and arms reaching out to hug. Underneath it, she wrote: “Love-man is NICE. He loves. He’s contagious, and he’s full of Jesus. Breathe him in.

“IYI is one of the best experiences for students,” said Casey Dunley, an educator from Des Moines Roosevelt. “From researching real world issues, to generating viable solutions, to creating the paper based on the new learning, to today’s event; this is a wonderful opportunity to show students that they have the power to have an impact on the future.”

In order to participate, each student is required to write a research paper identifying a key issue -such as environmental volatility, nutrition, water scarcity or gender inequality - that impacts hunger in a developing country. They will then propose a solution and present their findings to a panel of peers and experts at the one-day event.

CLARKE GIRLS AND BOYS TENNIS

Big week for Clarke tennis teams sBy RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@ osceolaiowa.com

Clarke’s girls and boys tennis teams each enjoyed outstanding performances this past week.

Both teams have moved on in the team portion of postseason competition.

On the boys individual side, Reed Morris earned a spot at state during the boys individual districts last Thursday.

Last Tuesday, May 9, the Clarke girls won their seventh South Central Conference title in the past eight seasons.

Morris reaches state in boys singles RED OAK — Clarke senior Reed Morris has been driven ever since his individual season ended last year.

Morris channeled his energy into making sure the disappointment he felt after last season’s individual district meet did not happen this year.

Morris fought through a tough semifinal match, but was able to reach his goal.

Morris took second and advanced to the Class 1A individual state tournament.

The meet will be held on May 26-27 at the Byrnes Park Tennis Center in Waterloo.

Morris was fourth at last season’s individual district meet.

“He was very disappointed last year,” said Clarke coach Jeff Ehrhardt. “He’s

Clarke boys advance as a team CRESTON — Clarke’s boys tennis team wanted to avoid playing deep into doubles during Saturday’s Class 1A preliminary substate team tennis meet against Creston/Orient-Macksburg.

The Indians started slow in several matches, needed to go the distance, but they were able to earn victories.

Clarke’s wins in singles led to a 5-2 win over Creston/Orient-Macksburg on the courts at Southwestern Community College in Creston.

Reed Morris and Billy Otto both overcame first set losses, rallying to win sets two and three.

Both Morris and Otto started slow, but caught fire.

“We wanted to stay out of their doubles,” O’Tool said.

“Their doubles are very strong.”

Smith dropped a tough first set, but came back to win two straight to give Clarke the team win.

“We need that,” O’Tool said. “For Zach, that was a big confidence booster.”

Clarke advanced to substate team semifinal Saturday. The Indians will take on Kuemper Catholic Saturday in Carroll. The winner will face either Glenwood or Atlantic later in the day.

“We feel we’re playing very good,” Ehrhardt said.

The Lady Indians dominated the opening match against Norwalk, then handled business against Clarinda in the next round later in the day.

Clarke defeated Norwalk 5-0, then topped Clarinda 5-2.

“We felt we had a pretty good shot,” Ehrhardt said.

“You never know. Norwalk plays 2A competition.”

STATE QUALIFYING TRACK AND FIELD

Area athletes earn spots at state meet

By RYAN KRONBERG

OST sports editor rkronberg@ crestonnews.com

EDDYVILLE — Several Clarke and Central Decatur track and field athletes enjoyed stellar nights at Thursday’s co-ed state qualifying track and field meet.

Clarke’s girls qualified in three events. Caitlin Clark earned a spot in the 400-meter dash. Bailey Zimmerman and Solana Zimmerman each earned spots again, qualifying in the 100 hurdles. The shuttle hurdle relay quartet of Chynna Beydler, Ashlynn Oehlert, Bailey Zimmerman and Solanna Zimmerman also qualified.

“I could not have been more proud of my girls,” said Clarke girls coach Christa Subbert. “They all ran very well.”

The shuttle hurdle relay qualified with a time of 1:08.69, by far their season’s best.

Bailey Zimmerman finished the 100 hurdles in 15.85 and Solanna Zimmerman in 16.09, both personal bests for the season.

Clark battled through an injury-plagued season, dealing with a knee ailment. She ran the open 400 for the second time and finished in 1:04.61.

“She ran through the pain and ended up getting second,” Subbert said.

Smiles abounded among the girls after they knew they qualified for state.

“It’s always really exciting to make it to state,” Subbert said.

“The girls that made it were super excited and the girls that didn’t were equally excited for the girls that were going.”

Bailey Zimmerman has now qualified for state for four years in both the shuttle hurdle and 100 hurdles. Solanna Zimmerman has qualified for the shuttle hurdle relay for four years and the 100 hurdles for three years.

“These girls have been great to work with the past two years,” Subbert said. “They have great

personalities and great leadership qualities.”

Beydler and Oehlert are second-time qualifiers in the shuttle hurdle relay.

Clark is at state for the first time.

Hollie Miler is an alternate on the shuttle hurdle relay.

Miler has been counted on this season filling in for injuries.

“She has done a great job filling in this year when we were dealing with injuries and illnesses,” Subbert said.

The Lady Indians qualifiers have big goals for this weekend on the blue oval at Drake Stadium.

“Expectations at state are just to have fun,” Subbert said. “We want to PR in our events.”

Coming home with hardware would mean much to the qualifiers.

“To medal at state would be very rewarding,” Subbert said.

“I’m really looking forward to see what these girls girls can do on the blue oval.”

Clarke’s boys took the top two spots and earned spots at state.

Brian Avalos won the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, seven inches.

Payton Winship was second with a leap of 19-8.25.

Central Decatur’s girls and boys had several events qualify.

On the boys side, the shuttle hurdle relay quartet of Tyler Davis, Cole Pedersen, Cauy Spidle and Carter Boothe won with a time of 1:00.68.

The time is second best in Class 2A heading into state, only behind Cherokee.

“Tyler Davis, Cole Pedersen, Cauy Spidle, and Carter Boothe take great pride in their craft and are excited to compete at the state level,” said Central Decatur coach Jon Pedersen.

Winning at the state qualifying meet continued the group’s run of success this season. The group has yet to to lose this season.

“The shuttle hurdle team is very confident that we can compete very well at state,” Pedersen

said. “We have been in the top five in the state the entire year and had the second fastest time coming in, so we have high hopes,” coach Pedersen said.

Spidle has been nursing injuries since becoming the first Cardinal to compete at the Drake Relays.

Spidle overcame the injuries to earn a spot at state, finishing second with a leap of 6-1.

Even with a foot injury, Spidle looks to be in the mix. He has jumped 6-4 this season.

“Cauy’s goal is to place,” coach Pedersen said. “We are still monitoring his foot injury but feel confident he will be in the mix at state.”

On the girls side, two Central Decatur athletes will compete in two events.

Emma Atwood was second in the high jump and earned an automatic qualifying spot with a leap of 5-2. Raegan Boothe was fifth with a leap of 5-0, but earned an

at-large spot.

Atwood was third behind the Zimmerman sisters from Clarke with a time of 16.23, but earned a spot as an at-large entrant.

Murray’s Jones earns state berth EARLHAM — Murray senior Jack Jones has not been fully healthy in quite some time.

He’s battled through a foot injury recently, and had not competed in the long jump or ran for the past two weeks.

He put the pain behind him when it mattered the most.

Jones uncorked a leap of 194.5 to win by and inch and a half over Colfax-Mingo’s Reegan Van Dyke, who was second with a leap of 19-3.

Jones was Murray’s lone automatic qualifier on either the girls or boys side.

“It was a goal of mine this year,” Jones said. “I wanted to get back

there. It just feels good to get back there.”

Jones had to wait a considerable amount of time to see if he had won, as Van Dyke waited to complete his final jump after competing in the high jump.

Van Dyke’s final attempt fell short.

“It was kind of a relief,” Jones said. “It feels good to be back there. I wanted to make it especially for the school.

Jones qualified for state as a sophomore, but an injury-riddled junior campaign cost him another opportunity to compete in Des Moines.

He wasn’t going to let an injury derail those dreams of state in his final state qualifying meet.

“He is not the kind of kid who wants to sit out,” said Murray coach Keith Shields. “I’m excited for Jack to return to Drake with an opportunity to jump.”

Sydnee Redman had the toughest match, going three sets before pulling out a win.

The Lady Indians did not have to play doubles against the Warriors.

Megan Linskens won 6-2 and 6-4, Brittany Beckett earned a 6-0 and 6-1, Deseree Stubbe won 6-4 and 6-3, while Sydney Garrett won 6-3, 6-0.

somehow as the 5K was in progress, the elaborately designed banners were in an office a few blocks away at the Knapp Center; questions from others involved in the meet.

Up and down, and around Drake Stadium Boldon kept going.

And going.

And going.

He kept on his feet, stopping to talk and chat with various meet officials. At times, they talked about various parts of meet and various questions that arise.

Boldon’s day started at 5 a.m., with tasks such as picking up his radio.

He then went over to Drake Stadium to do a few things.

Boldon was so early, he ended up unlocking Drake Stadium.

This is a brief look into what is day was like on April 29 in his first Saturday as di-

“Megan, Brittany, Des is what really helped us,” Ehrhardt said. “Sydney Garrett stepped up.”

Now the Lady Indians will take on Glenwood in the regional final Saturday in Atlantic. The winner advances to face either Decorah or Waverly-Shell Rock Monday in Boone.

“We’ve been talking about this all year,” Ehrhardt said.

“We have huge opportunities, goals. One of our goals is to get both (girls and boys) teams to state. They’re right at the doorstep.”

rector of the Drake Relays. *** 7 a.m. — He checks into the road race check in at the parking lot a block south of Drake Stadium.

Things are running well there as he checks in on various operations within the tent.

Temperatures are unseasonably cool, with the thermometer in the mid 40s with a north wind as race time approaches.

“This is wonderful,” Boldon said. “This feels like a road race.”

He helps hand out a registration form to a last minute walk in.

7:14 a.m. His phone goes off. There has been a miscommunication of where runners are supposed to drop off their belongings.

The truck was not near the start of the road race. Runners are directed back up in front of Drake Stadium for the truck.

7:20 a.m. Boldon is approached by three people.

One is an old friend from

Boldon’s days in Indianapolis.

They catch up for a few minutes, both surprised they ran into each other in this location.

Maureen Borto asks how he’s doing.

“I’m more tired now than after I was in Indianapolis,” Boldon said, recalling his days as director of the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon.

She was a key person within the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon Advisory Committee, working with the charity efforts of the marathon in Indianapolis.

“When it came to that part of the job to get that committee up and running, she was instrumental. She was a rock coordinating volunteers and doing a lot.”

Borto is also a Drake alum.

“She hasn’t been back to the Relays for a few years, and because it was my first Relays and she hadn’t been back, she decided to get a few friends and come back

for a reunion,” Boldon said.

“I got her and two friends tickets so they could come and enjoy the meet.”

Boldon was shocked when he ran into Borto.

“I was surprised,” Boldon said. “I was so proud and happy to get her tickets.”

Borto was excited when she found out Boldon was going to be the director of the Drake Relays.

“She was the first person in Indy to express anything but disappointment,” Boldon said. “She expressed excitement because she’s a Drake graduate.”

Borto was one of many people over the weekend of the Drake Relays Boldon reconnected with, even in passing.

“That’s not unique about the Drake Relays,” Boldon said. “Whether it was for the Drake, the NCAAs or the U.S. Championships, if I’m up here on campus, I run into coaching friends.”

After a few minutes, he and Drake assistant athletic director for development

Patrick Tomka walk up toward the start line of the Road Race’s half marathon in front of Drake Stadium.

They talk about how many are participating.

There’s over 857 participants in the half marathon that starts shortly.

Half an hour later, the 5K will start, with 825 entered.

They chat.

Boldon noted he’s learned to delegate.

“There’s some calls I give to other people,” Boldon said. “I learned to do that a
