Developer wants to purchase Lincoln School

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

An Omaha development company wants to purchase Lincoln School in Creston.

That is the reason a special Creston City Council meeting has been scheduled 4:30 p.m. today at the restored Creston Depot.

City officials said the Omaha developer has plans of purchasing and refurbishing Lincoln School into elderly housing — similar to housing that exists currently at the Iowana Hotel in uptown Creston.

■ A special Creston City Council meeting is slated 4:30 p.m. today. Council members will vote for or against setting a public hearing to sell the old school building.

City officials have not yet disclosed how much money the company has offered for the old school building and land. More details are expected to be publicized at Friday’s special meeting.

Of course, this possible purchase is unwelcome news for Creston Library Board who is in the middle of fundraising efforts to transform Lincoln

School into the city’s new library. They’ve currently raised about $400,000 of the estimated $1.8 million needed for renovations.

The city of Creston purchased the Lincoln School property from Creston School District for $1 in May 2010. The city now has an offer from an Omaha development company to purchase the old school.

He did not say if the artillery had been destroyed.

NSF Railway has reached a tentative agreement with its largest labor union to allow a oneman crew to drive trains that are equipped with a federal mandated safety system.

The agreement with the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers General Committee 001 known as SMART-TD — formerly the United Transportation Union — is subject to ratification by its members. Ballots are expected to be sent out this month.

“We have reached an agreement with SMART-TD dealing comprehensively with the major issues facing rail transportation ground service employees in the 21st century,” BNSF Railway said in a statement sent to the Creston News Advertiser. “The tentative agreement, subject to union membership ratification, will allow for locomotive engineers to operate freight trains with the remote support of a new master conductor, instead of a conventional on-board conductor on BNSF routes where Positive Train Control (PTC) is in use.”

The president of the SMART transportation division, John Pre-

visich, wrote a statement against the agreement that said, “No one would permit an airliner to fly with just one pilot, even though they can fly themselves. Trains, which cannot operate themselves, should be no different.”

Currently, all trains on BNSF Railway require a conductor and an engineer. The agreement would eliminate the conductor and the engineer would work with assistance from a “master conductor” working from a control center and the PTC safety system on 60 percent of BNSF Railways, including trains that pass through Creston.

PTC is a satellite-guided system of sensors and computers mandated by Congress in 2008. It helps stop, slow and reroute trains.

“Positive Train Control is a safety overlay, it is not a safety replacement,” said Jim Garrett, a BNSF engineer from Creston. “It should not be, and cannot be a replacement for another set of eyes, another set of ears for the conductor in the cab.”

Garrett has worked for the railroad for 35 years, serving 20 years in Creston as an engineer.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) does not have a minimum staffing rule at this time.

“If this agreement passed, the only people that will have the power or authority to create a two-man

MEETING SCHEDULED A meeting for railroaders and community members who are concerned about this tentative agreement is slated for 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25 at Supertel Inn and Conference Center in Creston.

or one-man crew will be the BNSF Railroad or the FRA,” Garrett said. “At that point, the SMART organization won’t have any say in changing the terms of that agreement.”

Deaths Betty Hobbs Creston

Betty Hobbs, 93, of Creston died Aug. 7, 2014, at her home in Creston.

C e l ebration of life services will Hobbs be 1 p.m.

Tuesday, Aug. 12, at United Church of Christ (Congregational) in Creston. The Rev. Jim Woodworth and Ron Levine will officiate.

Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery at a later date.

There will be no formal visitation or viewing scheduled.

Memorials may be given to Gibson Memorial Library or the United Church of Christ (Congregational) of Creston.

Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Betty Hobbs, daughter of Beulah Irene (Harmon) and Cleo Glenn Doolittle, was born Nov. 16, 1920, in Griswold.

After graduating from high school, Betty went on

to Peru State Junior College and then on to Drake to complete her bachelor’s degree and later went to Northwest Missouri State University.

Betty began her teaching career while working in Baxter and later rural Lewis School.

On Oct. 19, 1942, Betty married Russell Hobbs in Papillion, Neb. They settled in the Newton area where she worked in a dress shop.

Betty continued her teaching career in Kelly for a short time before moving to Coon Rapids.

In 1945, Betty moved to Creston where she taught fourth grade for 40 years.

Betty was a member of the United Church of Christ (Congregational) of Creston, Bancroft History Club, P.E.O. and former member of the Gibson Memorial Library Board.

Betty is survived by her niece Sue Anne (husband Bob) Cubr of Troy, Mont.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents, husband in 2012; and brother and sister-in-law, Hilaire and Phyllis Doolittle.

board.

He said moving up the ranks was a slow process, starting out as a head brakeman before building up enough seniority to be the rear brakeman on the caboose.

The next step was conductor and finally an engineer.

Eventually, technology was able to get rid of the caboose. Garrett said the biggest cuts to crew size started in 1991.

“In the past, changes to crew consist was hard to argue to maintain that size with technology,” Garrett said. “We have come to the least common denominator (two people in the cab). It cannot be operated safer with one less person in the cab.”

In the BNSF statement, it claims the plan will enhance safety by providing a more predictable work schedule with assigned on-duty times and specific territories for the “master conductors” to monitor and assist if necessary.

“You learned everything through years of experiences,” Garrett said.

“There are thousands of things you need to know to operate a train between

here and Lincoln, Neb., and only a fraction of that is in the rule book. The rest of it is what’s called ‘tribal knowledge.’ It is the things that you learn with experience.”

Local impact While a more predictable schedule for engineers would be beneficial to reduce fatigue, it could mean a major reduction in staff in Creston.

Creston currently has a

double-ended pool, making it impossible to create a set schedule. Garrett said the agreement could potentially move engineer jobs to Lincoln, Neb., to create a single-ended pool.

“There has been talk ever since I came to Creston that BNSF wants to close this terminal down and move the crew base to Lincoln,” Garrett said.

“This may be the impetus that they need to move.”

A meeting for railroaders and concerned community members is slated for 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25 at Supertel Inn and Conference Center in Creston.

“Therein lies one of the important things about this agreement, it’s not what’s in it, it’s what’s not in it,” Garrett said. “It’s like Swiss cheese, it’s full of holes. There are a lot of unanswered questions about what will happen.”

African Ebola outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and called for both affected and unaffected countries to implement a coordinated international response that features a wide range of new safety measures, including travel restrictions for some and a plan to return infected health workers to their home countries.

One of the highest-level emergency declarations that the WHO can issue was made by Dr. Margaret Chan following a twoday conference in Geneva, Switzerland, where a panel of health experts unanimously recommended the action after hearing reports from the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria where the outbreak is centered.

Growing numbers of health experts had been calling for a firm international response to the worst Ebola crisis in history, which has claimed 932 lives and likely infected more than 1,700 people.

The WHO has asked all countries to take a series of varied actions with the most stringent recommendations reserved for countries where the disease is

border with either of the four affected West African nations.

In those four countries, WHO recommends exit screening for all people attempting to leave the country at international airports, seaports and major land crossings. The screenings should include at the minimum, a series of questions, body temperature measurements and a risk assessment of whether any high fever is caused by Ebola.

“Any person with an illness consistent with Ebola should not be allowed to travel unless the travel is part of an appropriate medical evaluation,” according to WHO press statement.

Similar international travel restrictions are recommended for Ebola patients and persons who were in contact with infected people. Confirmed Ebola cases should be isolated at treatment centers with no national or international travel until two diagnostic tests conducted at least 48 hours apart are negative.

People in contact with infected persons, excluding properly protected health workers and laboratory staff who have had no unprotected exposure, should be monitored daily with re-

exit screening for all people attempting to leave the country at international airports, seaports and major land crossings.

stricted national travel and no international travel for three weeks after exposure.

The WHO also calls on the leaders of affected West African countries to declare a national emergency and personally address the nation about the crisis.

Health ministers in these countries are urged to meet regularly with affected communities and visit Ebola patient treatment centers.

For unaffected countries that share borders with the four West African nations, WHO recommends surveillance to find clusters of unexplained fever or deaths, providing access to labs qualified to test for Ebola and establishing “rapid response teams” to investigate and manage suspected and confirmed Ebola cases.

Any such findings should be treated as medical emergencies with action taken in the first 24 hours to stop a potential outbreak.

The WHO recommends that all other countries should not impose a general ban on international travel or trade, but should

implement WHO’s suggested travel precautions for Ebola patients and their contacts. All countries should also provide travelers to at-risk areas with information about the inherent health risks, how to minimize those risks and advice on how to manage a potential exposure.

All countries should also be “prepared to detect, investigate and manage Ebola cases, provide access to labs that screen for Ebola “and, where appropriate, provide the capacity to “manage travelers” from infected areas who arrive with unexplained symptoms of the disease.

The WHO also calls on all countries to facilitate the evacuation and repatriation of their citizens, particularly health workers, who have been exposed to the disease.

Are you ready for a fire?

Dear Readers: How many FIRE EXTINGUISHERS are in your home? If you live in a house, you should have several: at least one in the living areas, one in the kitchen and one in the garage. If you live in an apartment or condo, you should have a fire extinguisher, maybe even two.

There are a couple of things you can do to check if the fire extinguisher is still functional.

Inspect the pin to see that it is in the right place. If it’s not or it is damaged, you MUST get a new extinguisher.

Check that the extinguisher is at the right pressure. There is a gauge to see that the needle is in the green “zone.” If it is not, the pressure is “off,” and you need to replace the extinguisher.

Please heed this advice.

Tear this column out right now and post it someplace where you will see it to remind you. You don’t want to have a fire, grab the extinguisher and have it be a dud! You never know — it can happen to you!

Horoscope Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For some reason, children are an increased responsibility for you today. Or you might feel overwhelmed with social obligations or something to do with the arts or the entertainment world. Courage!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with partners and family members are not easy today. Someone older or more experienced will block your wishes. You can’t do anything about this today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be worried about something today, because you sense that something will be difficult. Obstacles block your path. Just wait a few days, and try again.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Financial matters look bleak today. (Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?) You cannot push things through. Just wait.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Duties and responsibilities loom large today. In fact, life might seem depressing and restrictive. Just cope until things lighten up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Physically and psychologically, your energies are at a low ebb right now. If you are aware of this, don’t push the river. Just wait until things change before you move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone older or in a position of authority might restrict you now or block your efforts.

Naturally, this is discouraging.

But things look worse than they really are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to challenge authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers or the police. Today they hold the upper hand. (But this will not always be the case.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans look difficult today. If you can avoid travel, this would be best.

Don’t push to get your way in matters regarding publishing, media, medicine and the law.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is not a good day to make decisions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. Things will flow against you. Postpone these discussions for at least a week, or longer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Tread softly in discussions with bosses, partners and good friends, because things will not flow smoothly. Others will block your plans and wishes.

Knowing this ahead of time, why even begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to get your way at work. Someone will tell you why you cannot do something. It’s discouraging, but it’s a temporary reality.

YOU BORN TODAY You can be a tower of strength for others. Although a natural lead-

er, you’re an excellent team player as well. You are skilled at debate and can persuade others to do your bidding.

Altruistic values are important to you. This year will be a fun-loving, social time for you, during which all your relationships will improve. Try to clear out debt as well.

HEALTH

Ick factor - Why you may be struggling to get rid of those pesky head lice (BPT) — Whether your kids are off to summer camp, you’re gearing up for back-to-school, there is snow on the ground or flowers are blooming, you may find yourself dealing with a case of head lice. An estimated 6 million to 12 million head lice infestations occur each year in the United States alone, most commonly among children 3 to 11 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since head lice move by crawling and are mainly spread by head-to-head contact, children in close quarters are often the main form of transportation for these tiny, wingless critters.

Although they are not dangerous and do not carry disease, head lice can be a nuisance. One challenge you may face are treatments that don’t work the first time. Head lice treatment failure can have a number of possible causes, including not following application directions and emergence of treatmentresistant head lice.

A recent study examining treatment-resistant head lice published in the Journal of Medical Entomology showed that many of the 291 head lice collected from 84 subjects located in 12 U.S. states, possessed a genetic mutation referred to as knockdown resistance, or simply the kdr mutation. The kdr mutation is one trait that allows lice to continue to thrive after being treated with pyrethrins or pyrethroids, the active ingredients in some overthe-counter head lice treatments. Although based on small numbers, the data suggests that the presence of the mutation has increased in the last several years. If the prevalence of the genetic mutation continues to increase, the way in which we approach head lice treatment may need to be reassessed.

So, how do you know which head lice treatment to choose?

“With the rates of treatment-resistant head lice appearing to be on the rise, it is important for parents to

educate themselves about the available options for managing an infestation,” says study co-author John Clark, PhD, a professor of environmental toxicology and chemistry at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “Head lice treatments that do not contain permethrin or pyrethrum, including prescription options, may offer an effective solution to controlling head lice.”

Knowing knockdown resistance is a growing concern, healthcare providers can offer valuable information on the presence of treatment-resistant lice in your community and available head lice treatment options approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with a range of safety and efficacy profiles and application instructions. While calling your child’s physician or another healthcare provider may not be your initial reaction, it might be worth it to pause and pick up the phone to learn more.

Teens, sports and happiness Teenage angst is big at the box office: Millions of dollars have been made off a sulky James Dean in “East of Eden,” a grumpy Judd Nelson in “The Breakfast Club,” and the intriguing Ellar Coltrane in this summer’s “Boyhood.” But while you may pay to see adolescents acting out on the big screen, back home you’re probably hoping for children with fewer emotional upsets. Well, one way to help your kids feel good about themselves and their life is to encourage them to participate in school sports teams. Joining a team helps protect teens from stress and depression, which afflict an estimated 23 percent to 40 percent of kids ages 12-17.

As a team member, kids form strong friendships and they learn to think not just about their own needs, but the needs of their teammates. Equally important, they’re physically active.

Regular exercise dispels stress, improves self-image and protects kids (and adults) from chronic illnesses, like Type 2 diabetes, that are linked to depression.

Fortunately, a record number of children are benefiting: In 2013, 3.2 million girls and 4.5 million boys were participating in school sports — including cheerleading, track and field, and swimming.

But what if your teenager won’t go out for school sports? Suggest other team activities: chess club, science club or debate team, for example. Your child will still benefit from being on a team. Just make sure he or she also makes a commitment to get physically active. Bowling? Archery?

Jogging? There’s something

for everyone! That way your child will stay happy and healthy.

MAJOR REVIEW OF VACCINE SAFETY OFFERS GOOD NEWS Actor Frank Langella gave Barbara Walters the chickenpox a couple of years ago when he kissed her just as he was coming down with shingles! Apparently Langella didn’t get the shingles vaccine (available since 2006) and Walters, who never had chickenpox as a child (the varicella vaccine wasn’t available until 1995), was never inoculated.

Not only do vaccines reduce misery, they save lives and are cost-effective.

In 2009 alone, vaccinating kids in the U.S. against a wide range of illnesses prevented an estimated 42,000 deaths and 20 million cases of disease; along the way they saved $13.5 billion in health-care costs.

But some folks worry vaccines are dangerous, and avoid getting them or inoculating their children. That’s why it’s such good news that a recent study in the journal Pediatrics found that serious complications from vaccines are extremely rare and the evidence is very strong that the measles/mumps/ rubella (MMR) vaccine is NOT associated with autism. It also bluntly identified serious adverse events that have happened (very, very infrequently): MMR vaccines have triggered febrile seizures; the varicella vaccine is associated with complications when given to

someone with immune deficiency; and rotavirus vaccines may be related (again rarely) to gastrointestinal blockages. Vaccines are not absolutely safe, but weighing all the data, the benefits of vaccinations exceed the risks by about 40,000 to 1.

So, talk to your doc to see if you need shingles and pneumonia vaccines, as well as boosters for whooping cough, tetanus, etc. And for children, let’s give kids protection from disease.

TEMPORARILY GASSY VEGETARIANS LIVE LONGER, AND THEY’RE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! “Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel. So eat your beans at every meal!” That schoolyard rhyme contains some nutritional truth, because, if you’re like most fiberdeprived North Americans, adding veggies to your diet can (for a while) increase production in your gas pipeline.

On the other hand, if you become a bean-loving vegetarian, you’ll cut your dependence on all that’s involved in raising animals (including their gas production), which in turn can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Another benefit?

A vegetarian diet helps you live longer!

were vegans, vegetarians or semi-vegetarians who ate meat less than once a week — veggie lovers live younger and longer. In fact, the mortality rate for meat eaters (during the study) was 20 percent higher than for folks who ate little or no meat.

So, if worry about “tooting” is keeping you from becoming vegetarian or semi-vegetarian, consider this: Eating foods such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and beans may cause flatulence, but it also fights colon cancer, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity!

And over time, your body adjusts: One study found that while 35 percent of new bean eaters reported increased flatulence, only 3 percent said it was still a problem by week eight.

Also, if you rinse canned beans, you remove most of the trouble-making chemicals and still get a nutritional bonanza.

THE MAGIC OF MUSHROOMS In John Tenniel’s 1865 illustrations for Lewis Caroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,” 3-inch-tall Alice encounters a hookah-smoking caterpillar sitting on a mushroom: “One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter,” the creature tells her. Back then, that bit of fantasy gave the homely looking mushroom a reputation as a source of magic powers. Now, 150 years later, we know just how packed with real power such fungi are — they can grow your body’s immune strength and cancer-fighting ability.

Mushrooms also deliver a good dose of vitamin D, including D-2 and D-3. They

make it, like humans do, when exposed to sunlight or zapped with UV light in the controlled environment of a mushroom farm. Three ounces of maitake mushrooms contains over 900 IU of vitamin D; three ounces of shitake, almost 130 IU. Most varieties also contain potassium, copper, riboflavin, niacin and folate, plus bioactive compounds (phenols, sterols and triterpenes) that may help control blood sugar and cholesterol levels, fight inflammation and battle infection. Crimini and Portobello mushrooms are packed with as many antioxidants and polyphenols as carrots, green beans, red peppers and broccoli.

Try adding some to soups, stews and pasta sauces; feast on marinated and grilled Portobello “burgers”; and mix ground mushrooms with lentils, black beans and sweet potatoes for a tasty veggie burger.

Tip: To be safe (and avoid an Alice moment or worse), don’t pick wild mushrooms.

To reap health benefits, stick with farm-raised varieties, and eat them cooked, not raw.

NEW DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME When a low-energy Cher was finally diagnosed with CFS/ME (chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis) in 1992, she stopped performing for three years; and CFS sidelined Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a year, too. But they’re not alone.

This hard-to-handle ailment affects 1 million North Americans (mostly women 40-60) and leaves victims fatigued and often in pain, unable to think clearly and less able to take care of daily

tasks. CFS seems to develop after an infection with a virus or bacteria, or even as a result of an imbalance in gut bacteria.

Up to now, the only way a doctor could diagnose CFS was to eliminate other causes of symptoms and see if your fatigue, unrelieved by sleep, persisted for six months. But a recent study shows a brain PET scan may identify people with CFS quickly and accurately.

Turns out people with diagnosed CFS have widespread nerve cell inflammation, particularly in brain areas related to fatigue, pain and thought processing. No such inflammation is seen in PET scans of the brain of healthy folks.

While there’s no Food and Drug Administrationapproved medication to treat CFS (meds just manage symptoms), there are dietary changes that may ease brain inflammation.

Avoid saturated fats in meats, poultry skin, and palm and coconut oil. Also, eliminate added sugars and sugar syrups; up your intake of omega-3s from fish like salmon and by taking a 900 IU daily supplement of DHA algal oil; plus, eat cytokine-suppressing celery, artichokes and green peppers. Now, that’s using your brain! *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

THE NUMBERS GAME

12-3

The Royals’ record in the last 15 games, improving to 60-53 for the season.

NATIONAL DIGEST

PGA opens LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Lee Westwood followed up a season-best 63 four days ago at Firestone by matching his best score in a major championship. He made nine birdies at Valhalla for a 6-under 65, giving him a share of the PGA Championship lead with Ryan Palmer and Kevin Chappell.

One shot behind was Rory McIlroy, the No. 1 player and overwhelming favorite in the final major of the year. McIlroy, coming off backto-back wins at the British Open and a World Golf Championship, overcame a wild double bogey on the par-5 10th hole by running off four straight birdies. He settled for a 66, a solid start in his bid to become only the seventh player to win the last two majors of the year.

Tiger Woods opened with a 3-over 74. He hit two tee shots that missed the fairway by some 30 yards, hooked a 3-wood into a creek and hit a spectator with his tee shot on a par 3. His two best putts were for par and bogey.

Agreement CLEVELAND — LeBron James and Kevin Love won Olympic gold medals together.

They’re about to team up again, this time to try and end Cleveland’s 50-year championship drought. Love will soon be on his way from Minnesota to Cleveland after the teams reached an agreement in principle to a trade.

Stars align for sports writer’s family to see their favorites enter Hall of Fame Sports editor Scott Vicker wrote a column last week about his marathon week involving 840 miles traveled to cover the likes of the State Softball Tournament in Fort Dodge and five area athletes and a coach in the Iowa Shrine Bowl at Cedar Falls.

The reason he was left with all of those duties, without my help, was a father-son trip of a lifetime that was planned in December. I knew it wouldn’t be a great time for me, professionally, but there was no way I was letting the opportunity pass.

I always felt lucky that I was able to share my interest in baseball with my two sons. But one trip we never made as a family was to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. The logistics of pulling that together now presented challenges.

Brett, 29, lives in Nashville with wife Shawna and is busy as a member of the administrative staff of

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

a large YMCA in Brentwood.

Keith, 26, lives in Davenport with wife Kelsey and is likewise busy as a financial analyst for Modern Woodmen of America in Rock Island, Ill. But, last fall I started to think that something very special in our baseball passion could come together. I had a pretty good hunch that former Braves pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux would be elected to the Hall of Fame.

As a young lefty who became a die-hard Braves fan in the early 1990s, Brett took a particular liking to Glavine, the Braves’ crafty southpaw.

Keith’s favorite player from his favorite team, former White Sox

slugger Frank Thomas, was also eligible for election to the Hall of Fame. I thought he had a good chance, too, but I was less certain.

In the back of my mind, I started to prepare a proposal to them that we do a father-son journey to New York if both Glavine and the Big Hurt were elected.

In December, the announcement sealed the deal. Not only were Glavine, Maddux and Thomas elected for 2014 induction, but also former managers Bobby Cox, Tony LaRussa and Joe Torre.

Now, we all had someone of inter-

est. Cox, of course, made it a trifecta for Braves fans, and LaRussa and Torre both had ties to my Cardinals.

They were both on board with clearing their schedules in late July and making a long weekend of it.

The stars were aligned for a trip of a lifetime.

What are the odds that my son’s favorite two players would go in the Hall of Fame together? And, at the same time as two managers from my favorite team!

I owe Scott Vicker big-time for dumping all of the sports coverage

that weekend on his lap, but this opportunity was too good to pass up.

We decided to all meet in Davenport and hold our annual Peterson Open golf tournament on Thursday after Keith got off work.

Brett flew into the Quad Cities and I drove over from Creston.

On Friday morning we drove to Chicago Midway Airport for a flight to Albany, N.Y. (On the way we stopped at a truck stop in Please see SHOTS, Page 8A

SHOTS: Continued from Page 7A

DeKalb and five busloads of Cubs fans poured in. They were on their way to the Cubs-Cardinals series that weekend. The blue invasion was alarming to a Cardinal fan! I think my tweet called it “horrific.”)

We rented a car and drove across northern New York to Utica, about 45 miles north of Cooperstown. (Rooms are quickly snatched up in the tiny village of Cooperstown, pop.

1,600.)

The neat part about staying in Utica is that one of my college roommates went to Whitesboro High School, just a couple of miles west of our Days Inn in Utica. We even got to sample the food at Joe’s Pizza, a legendary local spot known for its tomato pie recipe. I would never imagine dining in Al Minnegerode’s hometown when I met him 36 years ago in Iowa City’s Hillcrest Dorm. But there I was, another surreal moment from this adventure.

Busy Saturday Our Cooperstown experience started on Saturday, the eve of the induction.

Swarms of baseball fans had descended on this scenic village. We stood in line to see the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum and found out later we were part of a crowd of 6,700 visitors that day, second only to the crowd in 2007 when Cal Ripken Jr., and Tony Gwynn were inducted.

Taking a short break at a hot dog stand on Main Street early in the afternoon, we spent a total of

four and a half hours browsing the three floors of exhibits, watching videos and perusing the Hall of Fame plaques. I was enthralled with all of the history at my fingertips, and I think Brett and Keith were likewise impressed.

“The Catch” I found myself stopping and staring at the glove used

by Willie Mays when he made that infamous overthe-shoulder catch on a drive by Vic Wertz in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series, one of sport’s historic moments.

“Willie Mays was one of my favorites,” I explained to Nate Tenopir of the Atlantic News-Telegraph, interviewing me about the family trip.

“The glove he used for the catch of the Vic Wertz fly ball, when he wheeled and threw it back to the infield ... I just sat there and looked at the glove that made that catch. I’ve been watching that catch my whole life.”

Brett was enthralled with the impressive Babe Ruth exhibit area, with so many articles and historical artifacts to observe. Keith saw

a lot of White Sox history on exhibit, including their World Series championship rings from 2005.

We could have spent another full day in there, truthfully, and not gotten bored.

After leaving the building late in the afternoon, we knew we had a couple of hours to kill in downtown Cooperstown before the Parade of Legends down Main Street. Brett had been online investigating the schedule of autograph sessions scheduled at various locations.

Fortunately for me, time hadn’t expired for an appearance by Cardinals Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith in a local restaurant.

He was signing directly across the table from former Red Sox and White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk.

Brett, meanwhile, got in a huge line to get an autograph of former Braves pitcher John Smoltz, a likely inductee in 2015. (Each of these autographs had a price, so you had to be judicious in selecting them.

Also, new inductees were busy and unavailable for autograph appearances until Monday, when we would be departing.)

When it was my turn for Ozzie’s autograph, I mentioned to him that I had seen him at a Clarinda A’s banquet in the 1980s, when he told me about his unique Rawlings six-finger fielding glove. That perked his attention a little and he smiled as he signed my baseball.

Legends parade

Lifelong Braves fan Brett Peterson, 2004 graduate of Creston High School, shares a moment with longtime Braves pitcher John Smoltz at an autograph booth in Cooperstown.

Our run of good luck all weekend continued when it was time for the parade. The corner we just happened to pick as a viewing spot turned out to be the exact location where emcee Gary Thorne, former ESPN announcer and current MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network) broadcaster, was announcing all of the legends as they passed by.

It was the spot where their vehicles would slow for the TV cameras. We were with-

in 10 or 15 feet of the greatest legends of the game, and even exchanged greetings with both Thorne and some of the Hall of Famers.

(Whitey Ford pointed at me and told me, in jest, to get him a beer!)

All those people passing by, in a matter of 30 minutes, was one of the most fascinating experiences of the weekend.

How about this lineup of Hall of Famers passing right by us in order: Whitey Ford, Ernie Banks, Bob Gibson, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Lou Brock, Billy Williams, Johnny Bench, Rod Carew, Fergie Jenkins, Reggie Jackson, Carlton Fisk, Tommy Lasorda, Phil Niekro, George Brett, Nolan Ryan, Carlton Fisk, Tony Perez, Dave Winfield, Ozzie Smith, Eddie Murray, Dennis Eckersley, Wade Boggs, Cal Ripken, Rickey Henderson, Andre Dawson, Whitey Herzog, Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin and this year’s inductees Bobby Cox, Tom Glavine, Tony LaRussa, Greg Maddux, Frank Thomas and Joe Torre.

Man, that was surreal to see all of those legends at once. (The next morning we saw Rickey Henderson at the Albany airport, but he didn’t seem thrilled about being recognized. A quick wave and a brisk walk away.)

Setting up As the day concluded Saturday, we went out to the Hall of Fame ceremony field south of town to place our chairs in a good spot.

That was a tip I got from a veteran attendee while in line for Ozzie’s autograph.

Iowa Hawkeye chairs were pretty easy to pick out in a crowd in upstate New York.

The various inductions of writers, broadcasters and the new class of six took three hours Sunday afternoon. But it was the fastest three hours of my life.

It was an unbelievable experience to see my son’s favorite players give their induction speeches, including an emotional one by Thomas, who spoke of how proud his late father would be at that moment.

Time flew by because you’re just hanging on every word. The crowd of 48,000 was believed to be the second highest yet, but they project the town to be invaded by 120,000 or more when Derek Jeter goes in after the five-year waiting period.

We finished up with a trip to famed Doubleday Field

just off Main Street, and a toast to our weekend at one of the local pubs, which were swarmed by Braves and White Sox fans.

One Braves fan about my age, obviously enjoying his stay in the bar for an extended time, pointed at us sitting together and slurred a question, “Hey! There’s a Cardinal, a Brave and a White Sox. How do you guys get along?”

Just fine, buddy, We then engaged in a discussion about who’s the better manager, Cox, LaRussa or Torre? It was a spirited conversation, but not testy.

The next morning, Mother Nature had waited until then to dump steady rain on the region. We had travel issues — waited an hour on a plane with no air conditioning in Baltimore, only to be told we’d have to get off and board another plane because of the mechanical issues.

Fortunately, Brett was still able to make his connection flight from Chicago to Nashville, by a matter of minutes. Keith and I drove to Davennport, where I got in my car and drove until 1 a.m. in Des Moines, where I took in some Class 3A state baseball the next day in preparation for my all-state voting later in the week.

It was back to the work routine, much to Vicker’s relief.

But those four days together with my sons, enjoying a trip to the shrine of baseball, was even better than I envisioned back in December.

If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of going to any Hall of Fame that means something to you — Springfield (basketball), Canton (football) or Cooperstown, I highly recommend it.

And if you can, take your kids. Mere words can’t describe how it feels when you’re there, soaking it in together.

On the way home I said to the boys, “Well, I’ve taken Deb on her dream trip to Maui (currently hammered by a hurricane), and now you guys to Cooperstown.

So if I keel over on the plane, I’ll go with a smile on my face!”

ISU President Leath cancels Veishea ISU’s 92-year tradition comes to an end, Leath cites negative association with partying and disruptions ■

“I will not be the president who has to call a student’s parents in the middle of the night to say your child has been critically injured in another Veishea-related disturbance.”

— Steven Leath

ISU President

so it has been a very challenging time for the community,” Campbell said. “I think anything that you’ve had in existance for 92 years and then suddenly do not have it, there is a gap. I think that in a few years we will have had enough other things to fill that gap that it will be past history.”

Campbell spoke about the positive working relationship the city shares with the university, but said that there has been an growing cost in supporting Veishea.

“We’ve increasingly found that it is very costly for the city, and not only the overtime kinds of things, but the ways that we have tried to support it have been, for example helping to fund the pancake breakfast, which is purely and simply a fighting the alcohol issue,” she said.

—————— MCT Information Services

(MCT) — Gov. Terry Branstad’s request that President Barack Obama declare 22 counties federal disaster areas has been granted, opening the door for Federal Emergency Management Agency funding for repairs.

The declaration arrived late Tuesday afternoon.

Branstad sent the request July 29, Branstad which emphasized damage from severe weather occurring June 26 through July 7, including winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, hail and thunderstorms.

The FEMA program activated by the presidential declaration is Public Assistance. Governmental entities and some not-for-profit organizations,

such as levee and drainage districts, are eligible for funding.

Private citizens are not eligible under the Public Assistance Program.

The southeastern counties declared disaster areas are Des Moines, Keokuk, Lee, Muscatine and Washington.

Gina Hardin, Des Moines County Emergency Management coordinator, said applicant briefing meetings are not scheduled yet but probably will be next week.

Previously, Hardin said if Obama declares the event a disaster, the counties’ flood-preparation costs, damages and cleanup costs still will be eligible for reimbursement and will not be limited to storm damage from strong winds, tornadoes and hail.

The state needed to demonstrate $4.4 million damage occurred to qual-

ify for FEMA Public Assistance.

Each county also has damage threshold minimums for FEMA funding. Des Moines County’s is a little more than $140,000.

According to Hardin, Des Moines County’s application included the following estimates, which still are evolving and are not final: *Category A, debris removal, $167,000; *Category B, emergency protective measures, $655,583; *Category E, buildings and equipment, $100,000; *Category F, utilities, $72,050.

The estimated total is $994,633.

(MCT) — Iowa State University President Steven Leath has ended Veishea.

“Veishea is ended, and the name Veishea is retired,” Leath said.

Leath, speaking at a press conference in the Memorial Union’s Campanile Room, said the change was a “very difficult decision,” but cited the negative association of the university’s annual student-run celebration with partying and disruptions as motivating his decision.

“I understand that it is very sad and disappointing to see this 92-year tradition come to an end, and there may be some who are upset with this decision, but I am not going to continue to put students at risk so that we can preserve what, to many, has become a week-long party,” Leath said.

Fifty to sixty years ago, Veishea was a “wonderful celebration,” Leath said, “but times have changed.”

It has turned into a “week-long, alcohol-fueled party,” and the true purpose for the university celebration has been completely overshadowed, he said.

Leath suspended the remainder of this year’s Veishea activities after a disruptive crowd flipped over cars and pulled light poles and street signs from the ground in Campustown.

Police estimated the crowd to be in the 1,000s, and one student was seriously injured when he was hit by a toppling light pole.

That student has since fully recovered, Leath said Thursday. He did not say whether or not the student is returning to ISU this year.

“I will not be the president who has to call a student’s parents in the middle of the night to say your child has been critically injured in another Veishea-related disturbance,” he said.

Leath said Veishea’s cancellation was not to say there couldn’t be future university celebrations, but said he would not set a timeline for when any new events may be planned.

Ames Mayor Ann Campbell attended the press conference, and afterword, spoke in support of the decision.

“I think everybody is sad that it has come to this, but given that the challenges don’t seem to go away, and the challenges, frankly, fall to the Ames community …
