RAGBRAI Q&A

Teaming up to make a successful ride Boone man helps Virginia woman enjoy RAGBRAI ■

Bonnie O’Day had plans to make her maiden voyage on RAGBRAI this year.

Several days before though, her trip was in jeopardy.

As a visually impaired person, she rides with a captain.

The visually able person rides in front on a tandem bicycle.

The two work together to make the ride a success.

That’s where Jim Pratt of Boone came in.

He heard about O’Day’s plight and stepped up.

The two rode into Creston together on day two of their week-long adventure.

O’Day and her husband are big into cycling in their home in Alexandria, Virginia.

But they ride in a way that most people would not think of. They’ve organized a tandem bike group where a visually impaired person rides on the back of the two-seat, twowheeled machine. A captain leads in front.

“We can’t ride a bike without a captain,” O’Day said.

“We ride a tandem.”

Bonnie O’Day, left, of Alexandria, Va., and Jim Pratt of Boone team up to ride RAGBRAI this year. O’Day is visually impaired, so Pratt took on the role of captain on their tandem bicycle.

They heard about RAGBRAI through their captains in Virginia.

It inspired O’Day to want to be part of an Iowa tradition.

She found out about the Adaptive Sports Iowa Cycling team. They joined up with it, along with approximately 40 other people who are disabled, but are riding RAGBRAI this week.

“We decided to give it a go,” O’Day said.

She had a captain all lined up for this years ride. However, the captain could not ride due to a health issue.

O’Day contacted Adaptive Sports Iowa. The group posted the message on social media.

Pratt was on Facebook.

Through a friend, he read about O’Day’s dilemma.

It inspired the veteran of nearly 20 RAGBRAIs to do something.

“I was looking at Facebook after I got done with work,” Pratt said. “One of my friends who’s involved in the cycling community posted something that somebody wants to do RAGBRAI. They can’t see well enough to ride by themselves.”

Pratt decided to sign up.

Monday, he and O’Day were in Creston.

Like Giza, Doug Dickinson is a first-time rider from Creston on RAGBRAI. He left Shenandoah at 7 a.m. and completed the challenging 75mile ride by 4:30 p.m.

“That stretch from Corning to Creston is kind of a bear,” said Dickinson, insurance officer for Far Credit Services of America. “From Prescott to Creston, it definitely didn’t get any easier. Everybody was getting tired.”

The family will greet friends from 4 to 8 p.m. today at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Friends may call at Emmanuel Lutheran Church from 9 a.m. until service time Wednesday.

Zoey Alexis Van Eaton was a gift from God to the Scott Van Eaton family, born on January 30, 1999, in Creston, Iowa. The majority of her years were spent living at the farm south of Fontanelle with her family and her favorite pup, Prince. Three years ago, she and the family moved to Greenfield. On July 20, 2016, in Nashville, Tennessee, while on a motorcycle trip with her dad and brother, Bradley, Zoey was given her angel wings.

From ages 3 to 5 years, Zoey was fortunate enough to be able to live with the Brian Fox family. During this time, Zoey attended many of her cousin’s sporting events and other school activities. The community came to know and love Zoey as one of their own and this has never ceased.

Jim Cihak, 91, died July 24, 2016, at his residence in Norwalk. Mass of Christian Burial will be noon Thursday at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Creston.

The Rev. Ken Halbur will officiate.

Interment will be at Cihak Calvary Cemetery in Creston. Open visitation and family will receive friends from 11 a.m. till service time Thursday at the church, one hour prior to service.

Pearson Family Funeral Service, 809 W. Montgomery St. in Creston, is in charge of the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the Iowa Department for the Blind. Online condolences may be left at www.pearsonfuneralhomes.com.

Jim Cihak was born on December 1, 1924, in Union County to James Vincent and Josephine Mary (Deholein) Cihak. As a boy, Jim worked alongside his parents and fell in love with farming.

He attended and graduated from Afton High School with

sassy personality of hers will never fade from those she has touched.

During Zoey’s middle and high school years at Nodaway Valley Community Schools, she enjoyed playing volleyball, participating in FFA activities, and playing multiple instruments in band. She exercised leadership skills that were beyond her years to help keep the band under control. We all know that Zoey marched to the beat of her own drum, and we love her for that.

Zoey worked at Tiger Drive Inn as an ice cream artist for the past three years. Even at work, Zoey’s smile was radiant and her ability to go beyond the call of duty to care was extraordinary. She was willing to donate blood many times and willed her organs to be donated if possible. In her free time, she was busy making memories with her bestie princess, Jordan.

Friends and family were everything to Zoey, along with Justin Bieber.

Zoey is survived by her parents, Scott Van Eaton and Mary Dodson of Greenfield; four brothers, Bradley Van Eaton of Nashville, Tennessee, Kaleb Kuonen of Clarinda, Jared Dodson (Kari) of Clio and Nolan Dodson of Ames; three sisters, Kynnady Van Eaton of Greenfield, Jordan Kuonen of Maryville, Missouri, and Brittany Dodson Ewing and Shawn Harmon of Lenox; grandmother, Linda Van Eaton (Jim Dickerson) of Fontanelle; aunt, Lori Fox (Brian) Greenfield; two uncles, Todd Van Eaton (Traci) of Orient and Tim Van Eaton of Orient; and many other relatives, friends and a great community that helped shape her in to an amazing young woman.

She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Burton Van Eaton. the class of 1942. As a young man, Jim continued to farm with his parents.

Farming was a passion for Jim, never just a job. In 1950, a farm accident left him without sight in both eyes. This loss of such a vital sense did not interfere with Jim’s knowledge of the land or skill as a farmer, carpenter and mechanic. He returned to the family farm, managing his crops and livestock.

On January 2, 1954, Jim married Verlee Hunt at St. Ambrose Cathedral in Des Moines. Jim and Verlee worked on the farm and raised three children. Jim was a member of St. Edwards Catholic Church in Afton and Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Creston. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Jim is survived by his children, Mike (Joy) Cihak of Afton, Julie (Mark Cullen) Cihak of West Des Moines and Gregg Cihak of Indianola; grandchildren, Lora (Justin) Swan, Vincent Cihak and James K. (April Hughes) Cihak; great-grandchildren, Houston and Kaylee Swan; sister-in-law, Margie Wilson of Creston; and extended family and friends.

Jim was preceded in death by his wife, Verlee, in 1994 and his sister, Mary Jo Cihak, in 2013.

Deanna Doerr-Petersen rode on her first RAGBRAI this year and admitted Monday’s ride on the steep hills of Adams and Union county got DoerrPetersen the best of her. “My sister-in-law has done bits and pieces of RAGBRAI for six years, and I thought it would fun to do,� Doerr-Petersen said. “Going through Creston it was kind of now or never! The last half of the day kicked my butt. There was one major hill a little before complishing something,� she said.

Pratt made it possible. “I couldn’t do it without Jim’s help,� she said.

They finished one of the tougher days of the week by mid-afternoon. “It was about an 80-mile ride. That’s the longest I’ve done. We did about 5,200 feet of climb. That’s the most climb I’ve ever done, so I feel pretty good about accomplishing that,� O’Day said.

This RAGBRAI is much different for Pratt than his previous rides. He’s able to help someone out who couldn’t ride RAGBRAI otherwise. “It’s given me a new vision

of RAGBRAI,� Pratt said. “I’d done it many, many times.

I was burned out on RAGBRAI. Basically, Bonnie is seeing RAGBRAI through my eyes and I through her soul.

It’s new for both of us.�

Pratt was reminded of one trait Iowa is known for, a trait that helped refresh his soul. “I’d forgotten how friendly the people of Iowa are,� Pratt said. “It’s been a reinvigorating experience for me.�

Through the ride, they were soaking up some of the best Iowa has to offer. “It’s great,� said O’Day, a Minnesota native. “I forget how friendly the people are.

The food is great. We’ve been eating a lot of great food.�

Tommy Sullivan of Granburg, Texas, and Joe and Noah Sullivan, both of Fort Worth, Texas, are participating in their first RAGBRAI as a family. For Tommy and Noah, it was their first RAGBRAI, while Joe was riding for the 11th time.

For the Sullivan family of greater Fort Worth, Texas, this year’s RAGBRAI was a new experience.

Father Joe, a native of the Des Moines area, is a RAGBRAI regular. He is participating in his 11th straight bicycle ride across his home state.

This year, he had company in the form of sons Tommy and Noah.

Both Tommy and Noah were making their RAGBRAI debuts this year.

Joe was soaking up every minute of the experience, one he wasn’t sure he’d ever get to have.

Both Tommy and Noah have served in the armed forces in recent years. Tommy served in the Army from 2012-16. Noah served in the

Their bodies were still adjusting to not only riding a long distance, but also riding in the hills of southern Iowa. “We’re sore and banged up,� Noah Sullivan said. “Our bodies aren’t used to it.�

This year was the first time their schedules all worked out at the same time. “It’s awesome,� Joe Sullivan said. “With their schedules the way it’s been the last eight years, it’s been really tough.�

They took advantage of the opportunity presented this year. “We didn’t know when we might have a chance to do it again,� Joe Sullivan said. “It might be tougher in the future. Hopefully they can catch the bug and do it again.�

Joe is the avid cyclist in the family, regularly riding 70 to 80 miles. Tommy and Noah had never been farther than 50

Prescott, the heat was beating down on me and it was about 4:30 p.m. I got on top of that hill and put my bike down.

There were probably 50 people at the top of that hill who had done the same thing. We had my husband (Troy) come out and get us. He knew the back roads.�

But, even in falling shy of the 2016 longest stretch of 75 miles, Doerr-Petersen had good memories. “My favorite part about it is the awesome people you meet along the way,� Doerr-Petersen said. “Everyone is so friendly and cheerful.

They all pump you up as you go by. That was awesome.�

Giza said the obvious highlight of the day is pedaling into the town where he grew up. “Coming into your town, it feels like an accomplishment,� said Giza, a 2007 graduate of Creston High School and graduate of Grand View University. “It’s like coming home. What’s better than that?�

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, July 26, 2016

No Code of Conduct for U.S. Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s opinions about Donald Trump caused a firestorm when they became public a couple of weeks ago. Speaking candidly to the New York Times, the Supreme Court Justice surprised nearly everyone when she said, “I can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be with Donald Trump as our president.”

Ginsburg, who is 83 and has been on the bench for nearly 20 years, had to know her words would be controversial. Although she is known as one of the liberal members of the Supreme Court, her personal and political opinions about Trump had never been publically disclosed.

She followed up later with more comments on CNN: “He is a faker. He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to

be very gentle with him on that.”

By this time, Ginsburg was all over the news, and I suspect the publicity made her very uncomfortable. She was heavily criticized by just about everyone.

Of course, Trump was terribly offended. The legal community generally disapproved, Democrats were shocked and Republicans were outraged.

It didn’t take long for Justice Ginsburg to take back her words, “On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them. Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.”

And that was that, case closed.

And most were pleased to hear

erations, not partisan political ones. Although the justices have never implemented a formal Code of Conduct for themselves, we should be able to expect them to be above partisanship. How then is it okay for some of our justices to have very close ties to organizations such as the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society? Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and the late Antonin Scalia have regularly attended fundraising events for these groups, even sometimes serving as featured speakers.

Some of these organizations are well-funded by the Koch brothers. It is documented that Scalia and Thomas attended a secret Koch Industries policy meeting in 2010 – with advocates for Citizens United present – just before the Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in the Citizens United case giving corporations the right to make unrestricted campaign contributions. That decision is criticized by both Democrats and

Republicans for making political campaigns obscenely expensive.

Since it seems highly unethical for Supreme Court Justices to regularly attend functions of the ultra-conservative Federalist Society, Chief Justice John Roberts was asked to rein in the activities of Thomas, and of Scalia before he died. So far, there’s been nothing done to discourage their participation in those organizations. Nor has there been any objection to Thomas’ wife, Ginny, who is a highly paid lobbyist for several conservative groups, including those who fought the Affordable Care Act. Similar issues will likely come before the Court, but since Thomas refused to recuse himself on Obama Care, he probably won’t on future cases, either. He will likely still hand down opinions on cases while his wife makes a lot of money lobbying on those same cases.

And here I thought it was Justice Scalia who told Thomas how to vote.

her apologize for her remarks, especially since apologies are in short supply in this less than classy campaign.

Ginsburg’s comments about candidate Trump were definitely out of line. Accurate perhaps, but not her place to say, as justices should be above politics. They should keep their political opinions to themselves and should not be engaged in activities that promote one political philosophy over another.

So, then, how does one explain the political activism of some of the other justices? Ginsburg made her off-the-cuff liberal opinions public, which is definitely a no-no, but there are other justices who routinely engage in activities with extreme right-wing organizations – just not so public.

Where is the criticism for that behavior?

Donald Trump brought down the house at the GOP Convention Thursday with his acceptance speech. There was only one bad after-effect. His daughter Ivanka introduced Donald Trump as both color-blind and gender-neutral and now he’s not allowed to use any bathroom in North Carolina.

Bill Clinton will give a speech at the Democratic convention tonight that focuses on Hillary’s career. He always makes a convention more fun. Last night, Bill Clinton walked into the hotel bar in Philadelphia where he asked the waitress for the usual, so she brought him a restraining order.

The Democratic convention will nominate Hillary Clinton for president in Philadelphia. The two parties can’t even agree on the city’s nickname. The Democrats refer to Philadelphia as the City of Brotherly Love while the Republicans will spend all week calling it Bill Cosby’s Birthplace.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren was added to the list of Democrats who will address the Democratic Convention this week in Philly. They need to be very careful. No one is sure what Elizabeth Warren’s play-on music will be, but if it’s Hail to the Chief, the Cherokees may declare war.

PEOPLE

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, July 26, 2016

Christensen open house, Kirkland anniversary Seeking wider digital card shower planned audience, Verizon buys card shower planned Yahoo for $4.8B SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Seeking a wider digital audience, Verizon is buying Yahoo for $4.83 billion in a deal that marks the end of an era for a company that defined much of the early internet but struggled to stay relevant in an online world dominated

by Google and Facebook.

It’s the second time in as many years that Verizon has snapped up the remnants of a fallen internet star. The nation’s largest wireless carrier paid $4.4 billion for AOL last year. The two brands will be rolled into the same operation.

“We have enormous respect for what Yahoo has accomplished: This transaction is about unleashing Yahoo’s full potential,” AOL CEO Tim Armstrong said in a statement.

Despite Yahoo’s travails, its operations are a prize for Verizon, which wants to capitalize on the growing number of people living their digital lives on smartphones.

The company already profits from the data plans that connect more than 100 million people and their devices to the internet. Now it’s making plans to control more of the advertising on those devices.

Most analysts expect the deal to end the four-year reign of Yahoo’s Mayer, who flopped in her much-watched attempt to turn around the company that was once a titan valued at $130 billion.

However, Mayer told employees Monday in an email that she intends to stay “to see Yahoo into its next chapter” without specifying for how long. In a later interview with The Associated Press, she said it’s too early to know whether there will still be a desirable role for her after Yahoo and AOL are combined.

“It would be premature and presumptive of me to discuss what Verizon may or may not want to do. I will be open-minded,” said Mayer, who could receive a severance package valued at $55 million If she leaves following the sale.

Shareholders fed up with a steep downturn in the company’s revenue over the past eight years pressured Yahoo Inc. to part with its email service and still-popular websites devoted to news, finance and sports, in addition to its advertising tools.

But most of that money has flowed to Google and Facebook, two companies that eclipsed Yahoo during its long slide from a sensation to a dysfunctional also-ran.

The sale could result in thousands of layoffs as Verizon eliminates overlapping jobs and services in Yahoo and AOL. Mayer has already jettisoned 1,900 Yahoo workers since last September.

The merging of Yahoo’s online operations with AOL’s sets up a potential reunion between Mayer and Armstrong, who were both executives at Google for years. Armstrong tried unsuccessfully to persuade Mayer to combine the two companies when they both still independent.

“It makes a little less sense now than it did two or three years ago” when Yahoo and AOL were stronger,” said Gartner analyst Andrew Frank. “But better late than never.”

When the sale is complete early next year, Yahoo will become a holding company for its two stakes in China’s

e-commerce leader, Alibaba Group, and Yahoo Japan.

Those investments, made more than a decade ago, are worth more than $40 billion before taxes, making them by far the most valuable pieces of Yahoo. The holding company will drop the Yahoo name and adopt a new identify after Verizon takes control of the operating business.

“The Yahoo brand still holds a lot of consumer-affinity” and could help Verizon overcome the lukewarm feelings that many subscribers have toward their wireless service providers, said Forrester Research analyst Shar VanBoskirk.

Until the sale is done, Yahoo’s users should not see any major changes in the company’s mobile apps or websites.

Verizon, based in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, is buying Yahoo’s online operations and its real estate. The Sunnyvale, California, company also has a patent portfolio that it intends to sell, and about $7.7 billion in cash.

Mayer, 41, is the latest in a succession of Yahoo CEOs who could not engineer a comeback. Yahoo’s annual revenue, after subtracting ad commissions, has declined by about 20 percent from $4.4 billion before Mayer’s arrival to a projected $3.5 billion this year.

But Mayer told the AP she does not consider her tenure to be a failure. She pointed to a 50 percent increase in Yahoo’s total worldwide audience to more than 1 billion users, including 600 million people who now visit on mobile device, three times more than before her arrival.

“If you look at the state of products today, they are orders of magnitude better, more viable, better designed,” Mayer said. “I am incredibly proud of all that.

The next chapter is around how we can increase our relevance on mobile.”

Yahoo’s stock fell $1.06 Monday to close at $38.32.

The shares have more than doubled since Mayer became Yahoo’s CEO, largely because of the rising value of the Alibaba stake.

When millions of people began to flock to the internet with the advent of graphical web browsers in the 1990s, Yahoo was king. Co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo began building a web directory as Stanford University graduate students in 1994, and Yahoo quickly established itself as the online hub for tens of millions of people. It proved that internet companies could indeed be profitable as other dotcom startups burned through millions of dollars.

But Yahoo strayed from internet search in an attempt to build a multimedia business, clearing Google’s path to supremacy. To make matters worse, Yahoo failed to recognize the importance of social networking and was slow to make the leap into mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Yahoo attempted to buy Google and Facebook in their formative years, but it was rebuffed and then later dwarfed by them.

Sydney Danielle White and Antonio Robert Cruz were married July 3 in the backyard of the White residence in Creston.

The bride is the daughter of Steve and Susan White.

The groom is the son of Louis and Susan Cruz of Orient.

Shawn White of Reeseville, Wisconsin, brother of the bride, officiated the ceremony.

Matron of honor was Shannon Jensen, sister of the bride. Bridesmaids were Jennifer Jorgenson, friend of the bride, Sierra Mattson, sister of the bride, and Heather Jenkins, sister of the groom.

Honorary bridesmaid was Brittany Cruz, sister of the groom. Flower girls were Greta and Zoey Jensen, nieces of the bride.

Best man was Dalton Daughenbaugh, friend of the groom. Groomsmen were Salman Moinnuddin, Daniel Riley and Joseph Putzier, friends of the groom.

Ushers were Louie White, nephew of the bride, and Jim Ide, cousin of the bride.

Ringbearers were Owen and Noah Jensen, nephews of the bride.

Guest book attendants were Grace and Cora White, nieces of the bride. Personal

Comic Sarah Silverman joined Sen. Al Franken Monday night to urge Democratic National Convention delegates to unite — then stirred up Bernie Sanders die-hards with some choice words: “To the Bernie or bust people, you’re being ridiculous.”

As a Sanders supporter herself, Silverman said she would now vote for Hillary Clinton “with gusto” as she continues to be “inspired and moved to action by the ideals set forth

by Bernie, who will never stop fighting for us.”

She spoke on the convention’s opening day just before Paul Simon stood at a microphone and crooned the Simon and Garfunkel classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

Singer Demi Lovato got personal at the podium, touching on her struggle with mental illness, including eating and bipolar disorders. She urged an end to the stigma of those afflicted and called on politicians to support better access to health care for all.

“Like millions of Americans, I am living with mental illness,” the 23-year-old Lovato said. “But I am lucky. I had the resources and support to get treatment at a top facility. Unfortunately, too many Americans from all walks of life don’t get help, whether they fear the stigma or cannot afford treatment.” Lovato

Actress Eva Longoria of “Desperate Housewives” trashed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for his statements on Mexican immigrants.

Longoria, a Latina from a small town in south Texas, said she is ninth-generation American from a place once owned by Mexico.

“My family never crossed a border. The border crossed us,” she said, adding: “When Donald Trump calls us criminals and rapists, he is insulting American families. My father is not a criminal or rapist. In fact, he’s a United States veteran.”

Fans and fashionistas, meanwhile, waited patiently for the dress reveal of first lady Michelle Obama, who spoke late Monday night. She wore a bright blue, A-line, cap-sleeve custom dress from American designer Christian Siriano. It was made of silk crepe and included high-belt detailing.

Actor and activist Danny Glover of the “Lethal Weapon” film franchise addressed the convention’s black caucus, describing Trump as a fascist and urging caucus members to “listen to new voices that demand speaking truth to power.”

Glover and actresses Shailene Woodley and Susan Sarandon joined more than 1,000 people for a climate rally, vowing to keep up the fight on environmental issues even though Sanders, their preferred presidential candidate, would not be in charge.

Woodley urged Sanders supporters to remain calm and Sarandon thanked him for “igniting this spark.”

Grammy winner Alicia Keys, who founded a social justice organization called We Are Here, appeared on a panel on criminal justice reform and civil rights.

Asked about remarks Hillary Clinton made as first lady about urban gangs with “super-predators” — which she later walked back — Keys said: “It’s obvious that that was a big mistake. ... If we can admit to our mistakes, that’s the beginning, and the question is not only just admitting to the mistake but what are we going to do about it.”

How long can it last?

Dear Readers: How long is a refrigerator or washing machine supposed to last? Have you ever wondered what the life expectancy is for MAJOR APPLIANCES? We’ve all had appliances quit working years before we expected them to.

Then it seems friends or family have appliances that never seem to stop working. Here is a general guideline/overview of the average life spans of some appliances: Central air conditioner: 10-15 years Refrigerator: 13-15 years Washing machine: 10-13 years Clothes dryer: 13-15 years Dishwasher: 10 years How long an appliance works depends on how often it is used (or how rarely) and how well you care for it. Inspect it once in a while, and have professionals check for maintenance services.

Changing air filters for the air conditioner on a regular basis is crucial for keeping air-conditioning units running.

MLB Cubs trade for Yankee reliever Chapman

CHICAGO (AP) — Before the Chicago Cubs completed a trade for Aroldis Chapman, owner Tom Ricketts and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein decided they had to hear from the closer himself about a domestic violence allegation in the offseason.

So Ricketts and Epstein asked Major League Baseball for a window to speak with the left-hander, and they got him on the phone Monday. When the conversation was over, the blockbuster deal was on.

Chasing their first World Series title since 1908, the Cubs addressed one of their few weaknesses by sending a pricey package of four players to the New York Yankees for Chapman, one of the most dominant relievers in the game, but one who also comes with some risk for a franchise riding a positive wave.

“This is a game-changer. Aroldis Chapman is a game-changing-type pitcher in the postseason,” Epstein said.

Chapman is expected to join the Cubs for Tuesday night’s game at the crosstown White Sox. The Yankees (51-48) are three games over .500 for the first time this season, but they still face long odds of getting to the playoffs. They made the decision to trade Chapman after his agents said he would not agree to a new contract that would start in 2017.

Briley has MVP-caliber night in Waukee

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

WAUKEE — Taylor Briley hit a home run in her last day wearing a Creston Panthers uniform.

Briley took part in the 32nd annual Iowa Girls Coaches Association All Stars games Monday at Waukee High School.

She made up for an error with a three-run blast to give her squad a 5-4 lead in the bottom half of the fifth of the evening’s first game.

“I saw my pitch that I like, I like that not-too-high but kind of inside and I saw that so I just swung and took it and it felt really nice,” Briley said.

Her squad, the “Red” team, won game one 8-4.

“It was definitely a good feeling because we were down and even though we were all like ‘this is just for fun and stuff’ part of us were like ‘yeah we want to win.”

Hitting out of the two-spot in the second game, Briley went 2-for-3 with a line drive

RACING Update

Dave Blaney returns to Knoxville Nationals KNOXVILLE — Dave Blaney, former Knoxville Nationals champion and National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee will make his return to Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway for the 56th running of the 5-Hour ENERGY Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores.

This Knoxville Nationals will be the first for “The Buckeye Bullet” since 1997, when he earned the victory over Greg Hodnett and Danny Lasoski crowning him the Knoxville Nationals Champion.

“It will be exciting to get back to Knoxville (Raceway),” Blaney said. “There’s a lot of prestige to this race and really this entire week. Every driver wants to be the one crowned as the Knoxville Nationals champion.”

Blaney, 53, will return to sprint car racing’s biggest event as the driver of the Motter Motorsports No. 71m.

Owner, Dan Motter, has fielded sprint cars for more than two decades with some of the best drivers in competition such as Doug Wolfgang, Kenny Jacobs and, most recently, Joey Saldana. The Motter Motorsports team finished fifth in the 2015 Knoxville Nationals.

Thus far, Blaney and Motter Motorsports have captured

one win at Volusia Speedway Park in February, three topfive, and 10 top-10 finishes this season.

Blaney, the 1995 World of Outlaws champion, has earned 70 World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series wins, including one Historical Big One victory, a Gold Cup championship, and two Kings Royal titles. He’s also seventh on the Arctic Cat All-Star Circuit of Champions all-time win list with 47 victories.

In 1998, Blaney transitioned from sprint car racing to stock cars in the NASCAR XFINITY Series(NXS). He’s since competed in three NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, 121 NXS, and 473 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. Blaney earned one NXS win at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway in October 2006.

Other entries received thus far for the 5-hour ENERGY Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores include: Jon Agan of Knoxville, Iowa., has entered the Knoxville Nationals driving his family-owned No. 4. A 10-time 360 winner at Knoxville Raceway, Agan finished third in the D-Main in the 2015 Knoxville Nationals. Clint Garner, a sixtime 360 season champion at Knoxville Raceway, will

compete in the Knoxville Nationals in the No. 40 he competes in regularly at the -mile track. Garner, of Sioux Falls, S.D., finished 21st in last year’s B-Main. Wayne Johnson from Oklahoma City, Okla., will race the No. 2c in this year’s 5-hour ENERGY Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores. Johnson has qualified for seven finales with a career-best finish of eighth in 2006. B r e n t Marks of Jonestown, Penn., qualified for his first Knoxville Nationals A-Main last August.

He earned a 17th-place finish in the Marks family No. 19M. DJ Netto of Hanford, Calif., will compete in the No. 88N. Netto finished 14th in last year’s C-Main. Paige Polyak of Tiffin, Ohio, will return to the Knoxville Nationals for the third time in the Mike Woodring-owned No. 19P. “Lady Lightning” is the only female who has entered the race thus far.

Stevie Smith of Broken Arrow, Okla., is considered one of the best drivers to never have won a Knoxville Nationals title. Smith has qualified for 21 Nationals finales, the fourth most in the race’s history, and has earned 14 top-10 finishes.

Jamie Veal of Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia has entered in the Indy Race Parts
