Tractor Supply Company to Obama returns open Creston store in August to convention

stage to make case for Clinton

By JOEL LAMB

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

Tractor Supply Company (TSC), the largest chain of rural lifestyle retail stores in the United States, will open the doors to its new Creston location mid-August.

“As a growth-minded company, Tractor Supply Company is always looking for potential new store locations that are a good fit as far as the largest target market is concerned,” said TSC Media Relations Account Coordinator Charlotte Weatherington.

“Concerning the location in Creston, this is especially true in that the area was attractive due to part-time and hobby farmers and horse owners in the area.

TSC is excited about being a new member of the Creston business community.”

The Creston location will be located on Highway 34 in the building that was formerly Wal-Mart.

Day in the life | Mike Hilger

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama acknowledged Wednesday that his hopes for a new tone in politics, embodied in the rousing Democratic convention speech he delivered 12 years ago, never materialized. Still, he says he remains undaunted.

In 2004, he was the obscure Senate candidate from Illinois whose words catapulted him to the center of American political consciousness.

On Wednesday night, he steps on the convention stage as the battle-harde n e d president h o p i n g Obama his legacy won’t be eroded by the outcome of the election to replace him.

It’s hard to overstate what Obama has at stake as he implores voters to elect Hillary Clinton. Take Republican Donald Trump at his word, and if elected, he’d undo just about everything Obama has done, from climate change and immigration to trade and foreign relations.

Obama has cast Trump as dangerous and unprepared.

In an interview aired hours before his remarks, he said Trump lacks “basic knowledge about the world” and

has shown no interest in learning more about it.

Democrats should be “running scared’ about the real political challenge Trump poses, he said in an interview aired Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show.

Obama’s speech will also be a moment to revisit his political story and words that captivated Democrats in Boston and beyond. His scolding of pundits who carve up America into red and blue states, and his declaration that there is no black or white America but “we are one people” looks largely aspirational after a decade of increased political polarization and months of heighten racial tensions.

“I’m the first to admit that when I spoke in 2004, when I ran in 2008, my hope, my expectation was that we could lift up all that common ground and create a new way of doing business in Washington and a new political tenor, a new political tone that was more respectful and more practical in trying to solve problems,” he said.

“And that hasn’t happened.

But it doesn’t keep me from wanting to keep on trying.”

After his wife, Michelle Obama, brought delegates to their feet with a stirring speech Monday evening, Obama stayed up late into OBAMA | 2A

For the past eight years, Creston native Mike Hilger has served the campers, hunters and fishermen of Union County’s High Lakes and surrounding recreational areas as a Union County Conservation park ranger.

Hilger has been an avid outdoorsman all his life, growing up only a few miles from the parks he now dedicates his time to maintaining and improving for the benefit of visitors.

A bachelor’s degree from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri, has equipped Hilger with the environ-

mental expertise to tackle a wide variety of daily duties required of a park ranger.

However, unpredictable tasks arise on the job nearly every day, requiring Hilger to employ adaptability as well.

“My degree is in wildlife ecology and conservation,” Hilger said. “Sometimes at this job, though, I think it would be just as beneficial to have an education in carpentry or plumbing or something. A lot of the stuff I do is fixing random things around the parks and campground.”

“One of the good things about the job is that it’s pretty diverse,” Hilger said.

“You have to try to be a farmer, you have to learn how to do controlled burns, you have to learn the right way to apply chemicals to control invasive plants.”

Despite the potential for frustration, Hilger uses each unique challenge as an opportunity for self-education.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — American Indians in North Dakota say they will continue to protest the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois, even after the Army Corps of Engineers approved most of the final permits needed for the project.

Native Americans have been staging a nonviolent protest for months at a “spirit camp” established by the Standing Rock Sioux at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers. Protesters have been spending time in contemplation, conversation

and prayer.

The 1,172-mile pipeline planned by Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners will pass through the Dakotas and Iowa on its way to Illinois. It received approval in all of the states earlier this year, and the Corps of Engineers has now approved crossings of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, agency spokeswoman Eileen Williamson told The Bismarck Tribune.

the night fine-tuning his words, the White House said. His speech will combine an affirmation of Clinton’s judgment and fortitude with a rebuke of the scare tactics he accuses Trump of deploying.

“The president will talk about who we are as a country and that we are better united than divided, and that we’re better together than apart,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz.

That Democrats are so eager for Obama to grace the convention stage is a reflection of how dramatically things have changed from just two years ago, when Democrats practically begged an unpopular Obama to keep his distance from the campaign trail. His approval ratings have since recovered, though a solid majority of Americans still feel the country is moving in the wrong direction.

Mike Hilger, park ranger with Union County Conservation, demonstrates the potential size of the sunflowers in a game and song bird food plot in Groesbeck Wildlife Area near Three Mile Lake in Union County.

ly visitor to the lake observed Hilger performing repairs on a fish-cleaning station and remarked jokingly, “You’re a jack of all trades but a master of none.”

Though Hilger started with Union County Conservation full time in 2008, he was no stranger to the type of work he signed on for.

During high school, Hilger worked for Union County Conservation in the summers of 2001, 2002 and 2003. Then, while attending college, he worked summers at Lake of Three Fires for a few years and Lake Okoboji for one summer.

Hilger and the Union County Conservation team, which includes Jones, Hilger and Mayhew, works to procure government funding through grant applications to accomplish improvements to the recreational areas of Union County.

“As far as projects go, we discuss as a team how it’s going to get done and what the most effective way to accomplish it is,” Jones said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s building a new structure or repairing something or whatever our next big move is going to be.

I respect both their opinions, and they are both great workers.”

The projects of recent years have included the installation of sunflower plots for game and songbirds, addition of a His vice president, Joe Biden, also addresses the convention on Wednesday, in a reminder to some Democrats that the candidate they wanted this year was the one they couldn’t have.

With his last State of the Union address behind him, Obama’s speech in Philadelphia will be one of his final opportunities to define and defend his tenure with a massive audience watching. Tens of millions have been tuning in to the conventions in primetime this year.

Democrats are hoping that Obama is uniquely positioned to persuade wary voters that Clinton is right for the job and to vouch for the trustworthiness of a nominee most voters say they still don’t trust. White House officials have described him as a “convert” to Clinton’s cause who, after fighting her bitterly in the 2008 Democratic primary, saw her abilities firsthand when he named her secretary of state.

pen, this place would be like a brand new campground with no trees at all. I want to keep planting more trees. Eventually, if we had all sorts of big, nice trees, it would make the place a lot more impressive.”

Last summer, Hilger wrote a grant proposal in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources known as “Kids For Trees,” which allowed the conservation team to plant roughly 100 new trees around Three Mile Park with the help of local youths.

“The total cost was like $8,000, but because of the grant, we only had to pitch in $500, and the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance matched with $500,” Hilger said. “So, it cost the county conservation $500 for $8,000 worth of trees for the park. We want to keep doing that and just kind of bombard this place with trees to get a diversity of species.”

Hilger’s pride in the Union County parks he has hunted, fished and now patrolled throughout his life is a sentiment he likes to see spread to others who visit them.

“We had some people come from Pennsylvania not to hunt, but just to check out the area,” Hilger said. “They were blown away by the amount of open space and the hospitality of the people.

I think that says something pretty special about our little part of the country.”

Bakken oil fields each day.

Opponents fear a spill could damage the environment.

boat ramp to historic Thayer Lake and resurfacing of roads leading to some of the smaller recreational areas. The team works to be an active presence in local communities as well, including area schools.

“Every year, we do five or six school programs like fishing with kids,” Hilger said.

“This year, we took all the sixth-, seventh- and eighthgraders from East Union to the shooting range, and they all got to shoot several rounds of trap. They thought that was pretty cool.”

A paramount concern of Hilger’s is saving the population of ash trees within the campground at Three Mile Lake in the face of the nationwide emerald ash borer plight. The conservation team recently purchased a professional-grade tree injection tool which allows them to treat their existing trees for the infestation themselves, rather than contracting the services of an outside agency.

“Originally, we weren’t even going to try to save any of our ash trees because we thought it would be way too expensive,” Hilger said. “We were just going to plant new ones, but with the injection system, we found it’s actually pretty reasonable.”

“The majority of the trees in this campground are all ash,” Hilger said. “So if every single one of them dies, which would eventually hap-

Director Doug Jones.

“Both these guys (Hilger and Joe Mayhew) I work with are good help. They’re self-starters and they’re motivated to do a good job. That’s what makes things run smoothly from where I sit.”

Interacting with the public is another aspect of working as a park ranger that Hilger enjoys.

“About 99 percent of all the people you talk to at the park are very nice and appreciative,” Hilger said. “They let you know you’re doing a good job and that the park looks nice. I actually get to meet a lot of cool people, and some of them have some pretty cool stories to tell.”

No matter what type of task Hilger and his colleagues are engaged in, it is always for the sake of improving the local parks and enriching the experience of the people who utilize them.

“We just try to get our work done, keep the people happy and provide a nice place to do outdoor recreation in Union County,” Jones said, “and I think we’re getting that done.”

By virtue of its size and popularity, Three Mile Lake and its recreational opportunities occupies the majority of Hilger and his fellow rangers’ attention.

“There are 24 log structures around Three Mile, including the lodge, nine cabins, the shelter houses, shower house and outhouses,” Hilger said.

“You can’t get behind on keeping that stuff up. With the cabins and shower house, you have to try to be a plumber, or an electrician or a janitor. We try to figure most things out ourselves.”

Jones added: “When the electricity goes haywire, for example, we find ourselves with a breaker in one hand and a screwdriver in the other. You don’t always get good help, and I have really good help. They stay busy and I don’t have to tell them in the morning what they need to do for the day.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 27, 2016

Welcome to the heat dome

HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Weather Channel reports a high pressure system called a heat dome is stifling the nation with record high temperatures across the United States. There is triple-digit heat from the far west to the eastern seaboard. It’s so hot in Philadelphia that Hillary Clinton is sticking to her story.

Democratic Party Chairman Debbie Was- Clinton serman Schultz resigned over her e-mail scandal on Monday. Hillary was almost indicted over her e-mails. Who’s the idiot who sold the Democrats on the idea that their scandals would be behind them if they gave up adultery and took up e-mailing?

U.S. Senator and Democrat-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

ic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders addressed the Democratic convention in Philadelphia Monday. It got everyone to playing America’s favorite drinking game. Every time Bernie Sanders proposes a new free government program, you drink somebody else’s beer.

Bernie Sanders addressed a breakfast Monday in Philadelphia where he urged his supporters to back the party.

He just made it to the event in time. The day Sanders before, Bernie received an

e-mail from Debbie Wasserman Schultz telling him the Democratic convention was in Cleveland this week.

The Democratic convention’s opening day prayer Monday was interrupted by furious Bernie Sanders supporters who chanted Bernie’s name over the minister’s prayer. This group has no sense of humor at all. Jokes about socialism are not funny unless the government says they’re funny.

Wikileaks released 20,000 e-mails hacked from the DNC and many of them are anti-Bernie Sanders e-mails between DNC staffers. Some of the e-mails claim he gave up being Jewish in order to be an atheist. Even Donald Trump is asking how low they would go to destroy an opponent.

Hollywood celebrities arrived in Philadelphia Monday to demonstrate their support for Bernie Sanders. Susan Sarandon says she feels the Bern, Sarah Sil-

verman said she feels the Bern, Spike Lee says he feels the Bern.

Charlie Sheen said he feels the Bern but most people figure it’s chlamydia.

Snoop Dogg will headline the DNC Unity Party at a Philadelphia disco after the convention ends Thursday. The likeable rap star is known as a connoisseur of fine wines, top-shelf cognac, marijuana and other drugs. He donated blood back in the late ‘70s and caught an assault charge.

The Democratic convention broke out in open floor fights between Bernie Sanders supporters and angry Hillary supporters on the floor. Her election is by no means guaranteed in November.

With state after state voting to legalize pot, Democrats are worried they might not get up in time to vote.

California firefighters battled a blaze in the Santa Clarita Valley Saturday that created a huge

smoky cloud hovering over Los Angeles. The sun was reduced to a bright orange ball over the city which mesmerized drivers and sunbathers. Democrats charged it was just more free media for Trump.

Mexican president Enrique Nena Piete arrived in Washington D.C. Friday to begin his official state visit to the White House.

He later embarked on a tour of several U.S. cities. He wasn’t in the United States for three hours before Homeland Security admitted they’ve completely lost track of him.

The Pokemon Go craze had Millenials walking off cliffs, straying into bad neighborhoods and into traffic this week as they followed smartphone directions to capture the icons. Thank goodness for the app. Americans were almost at risk of having to pay attention to what’s going on in the world.

2016

If only we could get to know the real Hillary Clinton.

Unveiling the Hillary we supposedly don’t know has been the perpetual, elusive goal of Clinton’s handlers for decades, with the Democratic convention in Philadelphia the latest stab at it.

On “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook hopefully maintained that a lot of Americans simply “don’t understand” Hillary’s devotion to others, and the convention aims to give them this “fuller picture.”

Or as a CNN headline put it, “Hillary Clinton prepares to reintroduce herself to America.”

Again. Hillary has made more reintroductions than should be allowed for a person who has never gone away.

Political writer Jonathan Rauch has a 14-year rule that posits no one is elected president more than 14 years after winning election as a governor or senator (the traditional jumping-off points for the presidency). Elected to the Senate from New York in 2000, Hillary is technically only a couple of years past this benchmark for staleness — except this doesn’t do justice to how long she has been around, and especially how long it feels she’s been around.

Bill Clinton announced his campaign for president in October 1991. Hillary has been with us ever since. During that campaign, Bill famously told us we’d get two for one. It’s been more

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

than 14 years since she vouched for Bill Clinton on “60 Minutes” after the allegations of an affair with Gennifer Flowers surfaced (1992), tried to remake American health care (1993), wrote the book “It Takes a Village” to soften her image (1996) and vouched for Bill in yet another sex scandal (1998).

It has been more than 14 years just from one Hillary scandal with a wholly implausible explanation (her amazingly lucrative cattle trades that were first reported in 1994) to another (her private server as secretary of state that was first reported in 2015).

This is not to make a fetish of Jonathan Rauch’s 14-year rule — such rules of thumb are made to be broken — but it speaks to how utterly, drearily, inescapably familiar Hillary Clinton is.

A Washington Post article last year was titled “The making of Hillary 5.0: Marketing wizards help re-imagine Clinton brand,” and it may have under-counted Hillary’s attempted reboots.

Her handlers are like leftists insisting that socialism has never failed; it’s just never been tried.

They want to believe that people don’t dislike Hillary; they just don’t know her. Even if this is true, not being able to proj-

ect in public qualities that make you appealing in private makes you by definition a poor politician. No one ever had to say about Franklin Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t believe how buoyant he is — behind closed doors,” or about Ronald Reagan, “He’s very funny — when the cameras are off.”

Over 25 years, the public surely has attained an accurate-enough picture of Hillary Clinton. They may not know all the details of her advocacy work as a young woman, but they have seen her smash-mouth partisanship, her grating insincerity, her gross money-grubbing, her serial dishonesties, her cat-on-a-hot-tinroof caution and her grind-out ambition that has lacked a light touch or any poetry.

Hillary always points out how she is a target for attack, but the two controversies that have dogged her in the past year were entirely of her own doing. No enemy of hers forced her to circumvent the rules to try to keep her official emails off the grid, or to take $675,000 from Goldman Sachs for three speeches. She did this to herself — because she thought she could get away with it.

In a “60 Minutes” interview, she complained that a different standard applies to her, a strange plaint after the FBI director gave her a pass on her emails. This suggests the problem isn’t that people don’t know her so much as that she lacks all self-awareness.

Northey comments on Iowa Greater Regional welcomes urgent Crops and Weather report care provider Abigail Clarkson somewhere in the state each day.

Actual temperatures during the week varied from a Monday, July 18, morning low of 55 degrees at Algona to a Wednesday, July 30, afternoon high of 97 degrees at Sioux City and Thursday, July 21, highs of 97 at Des Moines, Lamoni and Sioux City.

Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 5.2 degrees above normal.

Heat indices reached a maximum of 119 degrees at Shenandoah on Thursday.

Thunderstorms brought rain to the south one-half of the state from Sunday, July 17, night into Monday, July 18, morning with very heavy rains in parts of southwest Iowa.

Rain fell nearly statewide on Tuesday, July 19, with locally heavy rain falling across central Iowa. Wednesday, July 20, brought rain to extreme eastern and far northwestern Iowa. Another round of thunderstorms brought rain to the eastern onethird of the state on Thursday, July 21, night into Friday, July 22, morning.

Finally, one last event brought rain to about the north one-half of the state on Saturday, July 23, morning with locally heavy rain in far northeast Iowa.

Weekly rain totals varied from only 0.15 inches at Akron on the South Dakota border to 6.19 inches at Bedford and 6.60 inches between Ankeny and Des Moines. The statewide average precipitation was 2.09 inches or more than double the normal of 0.98 inches. This was the third-consecutive week of much above normal rainfall.

Water summary update: Statewide average rainfall almost twice the normal average DES MOINES – Recent rains have improved groundwater levels across Iowa, while the National Drought Monitor shows about a third of the state still rated as abnormally dry, according to Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Heavy rains that fell on July 19 will be reflected in the next update.

Substantial rainfall during July has improved shallow groundwater conditions in central Iowa and most of southeast Iowa from slight drought to normal. A small region of southeast Iowa continues to be in slight drought conditions. Shallow

Drugs SelfDestruction Panic

groundwater levels in most of northwest, southwest and northeast Iowa continue to be above normal for July.

In the past two weeks, the average statewide rainfall has been about 4.02 inches, nearly double the normal amount for this period. Twoweek rain totals varied from 1.56 inches in Akron up to 9.01 inches near Red Oak. Temperatures across Iowa have averaged near normal for the period, just 0.4 degrees lower than typical July readings.

Streamflow conditions remain above normal for most of the state.

The report is prepared by the technical staff from the Iowa DNR, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, IIHR – Hydroscience and Engineering and the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with The Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department and National Weather Service.

Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) is pleased to announce Abigail Clarkson, ARNP, FNP-BC will join the rotation of providers in the new Greater Clarkson Regional Urgent Care/Walk-In Clinic.

Clarkson attended Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, where she received her Bachelor’s of Nursing degree and obtained her MSN, Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri. She is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Prior to joining GRMC, Clarkson has worked as a medical center coordina-

tor and in the emergency department at Northwest Medical Center in Albany, Missouri, for two years and in the Burnett Burn Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas, for five years.

Clarkson and her family reside in Allendale, Missouri. In her spare time, she enjoys quiet evenings spent on the farm with her husband and daughter, time with family, fishing and sewing.

Farmers encouraged to apply now for cost share DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey Tuesday reminded Iowa farmers funds are available to help install practices focused on protecting water quality. Practices eligible for this funding are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fertilizer.

The cost-share rate for first-time users of cover crops is $25 per acre, no-till or strip till are eligible for $10 per acre and farmers using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer can receive $3 per acre. Farmers are eligible for cost share on up to 160 acres.

First-time users who apply by Aug. 1 will be the first applications funded.

First-time users that apply after Aug. 1 will still receive priority consideration, but funds will also be made available to farmers that have used cover crops in the past for cost share assistance at $15 per acre.

“We already have $1.6 million in applications from more than 700 farmers interested in trying a new practice on their farm to better protect water quality.

However, we do have some funds available, both for first-time users and those interested in trying cover crops again. I hope interested farmers will contact their local soil and water conservation district soon to learn more about the assistance

that is available,” Northey said.

Farmers are also encouraged to visit their local soil and water conservation district office to inquire about additional opportunities for cost share funding through other programs offered at their local district office.

The cost share assistance was announced May 11.

Since then, the governor has signed into law $9.6 million to support the Iowa Water Quality Initiative.

In the last three years this statewide program has been available, more than 2,900 farmers in each of Iowa’s 99 counties have put in nutrient reduction practices on more than 294,000 acres.

The state provided about $6.2 million in cost share funding to help farmers try a water quality practice and Iowa farmers provided more than $6.2 million of their own resources to support these water-quality practices.

Background on Iowa Water Quality Initiative The Iowa Water Quality Initiative was established in 2013 to help implement the Nutrient Reduction Strategy, which is a collaborative, research-based approach to achieving a 45-percent reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus losses to waters.

The strategy brings together both point sources, such as municipal wastewater treatment plants and indus-

trial facilities, and nonpoint sources, including farm fields and urban stormwater runoff, to address these issues.

The initiative seeks to harness the collective ability of both private and public resources and organizations to deliver a clear and consistent message to stakeholders to reduce nutrient loss and improve water quality.

In addition to the statewide cost share, there are also currently 45 existing demonstration projects located across the state to help implement and demonstrate water-quality practices through the initiative. This includes 16 targeted watershed projects, seven projects focused on expanding the use and innovative delivery of water-quality practices and 22 urban water-quality demonstration projects. More than 100 organizations are participating in these projects.

These partners will provide $19.31 million dollars to go with over $12 million in state funding going to these projects.

More than $325 million in state and federal funds have been directed to programs with water-quality benefits in Iowa last year.

This total does not include the cost share amount that farmers pay to match state and federal programs and funds spent to build practices built without government assistance.

Corn in the cooler!

Dear Heloise: When having a large barbecue, try this hint for cooking CORN ON THE COB. It’s so easy and keeps corn hot all day. Boil a large (soup) pot of water, shuck all the corn, place the corn in a clean cooler and pour the boiling water over it. Now just close the lid for 35-40 minutes. Every time you take out a piece of corn, make sure to close the lid again to keep the remaining corn hot. – Andy K. in Finksburg, Md. This is a great way to make large amounts of corn without using up space on the grill or on an inside stovetop.

Hints from Heloise to pour it directly down the sink.

I have found a way to eliminate both the danger of spilling the hot grease into a container and the unwanted smell under the sink. After you finish frying the bacon, turn off the heat and lay three sheets of paper towels in the pan. The paper towels will soak up all the grease. Wait a minute and simply throw all the greasesoaked paper towels into the garbage. Surprisingly, the greasy paper towels cool down quickly, so there is no damage to your trash pail or the plastic lining. – Robert D., via email I agree – do not ever throw grease of any kind down the sink. However, I would caution that you should always let the grease cool before adding the paper towels, and NEVER pour hot grease into anything. – Heloise CORING PINEAPPLE Dear Heloise: While making a pineapple upside-down cake (which called for 1/2-

My husband was having difficulty coring the individual slices, and I suggested he use the small doughnut cutter that comes with a biscuit cutter. The small, round cutter worked perfectly on the pineapple slices, and was just the right size. He was finished in no time, and it was much easier than using a paring knife. – Jean D., Omaha, Neb.

Horoscope For Thursday, July 28, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Try to avoid disputes about money and possessions today, because they will be brief but nasty. Since they will be brief, they’ll be over quickly. Hang in there.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tread carefully today because people’s emotions are volatile!

It’s easy to get upset with others or suddenly have an argument. (This especially applies to close friends and partners.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)An argument with a friend, especially a female acquaintance, might break out today.

Just remember: Patience is the antidote to anger. Remedy: Generously apply patience.

(This includes the police.) But who needs this?

Not you. Therefore, zip thy lip.

CHICAGO (AP) — James Shields left to a standing ovation after striking out five — including Kris Bryant three times — walking four and giving up four hits and no runs in 72/3 innings of the Sox’s 3-0 victory Tuesday against the Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field.

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks hadn’t given up a run since June 29, a span of 221/3 innings.

But Jose Abreu’s RBI single in the first ended that streak in front of 39,553, the second sellout in two days and third this season on the South Side. Adam Eaton added a 390-foot solo home run off Hendricks in the fifth to push the lead to 2-0 and help ensure the Sox’s fourth victory in a row, the first time they’ve won that many straight since May 6-9.

SPORTS One of RAGBRAI’s elder statesman Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 27, 2016

Longtime ride vet Swartzrock continues pedaling every year on RAGBRAI ■

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg

Steve Swartzrock first answered a call to participate on a little bicycle ride that was making its way across Iowa.

Forty-three years later, the Charles City resident has continued to pedal his way across his home state annualy.

Swartzrock, 60, spent his Monday afternoon and evening in Creston as RAGBRAI made its overnight stop here.

He was in Creston with his team based out of Rockford.

Catching up with my longtime friend from my days back in Charles City, Swartzrock smiled as we talked about some of the adventures he’s had on RAGBRAI over the years.

“I enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun,” he said.

Tuesday’s stops between Shenandoah and Creston impressed one of the most experienced members of RAGBRAI. “(Monday) a few of the towns were cool,” he said. “Corning’s a neat little town. It’s about all of the little towns. I enjoy it.”

Now having been on RAGBRAI for 43 years, the pace isn’t as fast.

But he still pushes the pedals up and down, across the flatlands of the north, to the hills in the south.

“I go slower,” Swartzrock said.

“The big thing is we get here safe.

There were no crashes. We get up at 5 (a.m.) and try be on the road

sport editor

by a quarter-to-six. On a typical day, we get in at noon. Today we got in 2 (p.m.).”

A young rider taking part in SAGBRAI

Swartzrock was 17 when he first rode his bicycle across Iowa, riding on what was then called SAGBRAI, or the Second Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa.

“I remember the first one I went on,” Swartzrock recalled while sitting outside the house he was staying at on Creston’s north side. “My neighbor kid dared me to do it. If you can do it, I can do it.”

He informed his mother about his plans.

“I told my mom I was going to bike across Iowa. Everyone thought I was nuts,” Swartzrock said.

That year the route went from Council Bluffs to Dubuque from Aug. 4-10.

“I died on that one,” Swartzrock said. “That was in ‘74 and the rest is history.”

RAGBRAI started a year earlier, thanks to an idea from Des Moines Register writers John Karras and Don Kaul.

Their little excursion was held from Aug. 26-31 in 1973.

“They had a bet back then. Karris said he’d ride across Iowa. Kaul said if you can do it, I can do it.

Karris was a big biker. He put an ad in the paper if you want to come join us, join us. It was one of those things that’d be a once-a-year thing and disappear in a year or two.”

It didn’t. Instead, interest in the ride continued to grow into the behemouth RAGBRAI is now.

“It’s amazing how big it’s got,” Swartzrock said. “The first year I did it, there was maybe 2,000 people and maybe 20-25 percent did the whole thing. A lot of people joined it for a day.”

The ride patch wasn’t given out like it is now.

“If you wanted the patch, you had to ride up to Eagle Point in Dubuque. They made sure you got one,” Swartzrock said.

As the largest, longest and oldest bicycle tour in the world, RAGBRAI has generated international fame.

RAGBRAI’s fame grows

RAGBRAI draws riders from all over the world. Swartzrock said he has met riders from at least 25 countries, lured to Iowa to ride on RAGBRAI. “It’s on peoples bucket lists,” he said. “These bikers come from all RAGBRAI | 9A CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG

Charles City resident Steve Swartzrock stands by his bicycle after completing Monday’s ride from Shenandoah to Creston.

Swartzrock is one of RAGBRAI’s elder statesman, having ridden an incredible 43 consecutive years.

The only ride he didn’t participate on was the first. He first started riding on RAGBRAI in 1974.

The ALS Association launches 10 Every Drop Adds Up campaign

Our special recipe SKINLESS BRATWURST select varieties 3.75 oz.

WEST DES MOINES – The ALS Association and The ALS Association Iowa Chapter launched a new campaign in an effort to raise awareness and funds to finish what was started in 2014 with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

The goal of this campaign is simple: an end to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The campaign, called Every Drop Adds Up, pays homage to the Ice Bucket Challenge, emphasizing the now iconic “bucket,” and builds on the idea that when people come together they can make big, impossible things happen.

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. For unknown reasons, veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS. There is no cure and only one drug modestly extends survival by a few months.

In 2014, the viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge resulted in more than $220 million in donations to ALS charities around the world. Every Drop Adds Up was inspired by ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Co-Founder Pat

Quinn’s words, “every August until a cure” and reflects the energy and drive of the ALS community to refocus the nation’s attention on ALS, especially during this time of year.

“We want to give help and hope to Iowans who are fighting ALS,” said Josh Nuss, executive director of The ALS Association Iowa Chapter. “The Ice Bucket Challenge brought amazing things to Iowa, and we can’t wait to see what this campaign can do. It’s all about individuals making an impact.”

In 2014, the Iowa chapter raised more than $350,000 from the Ice Bucket Challenge and created a detailed five-year plan to use those funds. Through these donations, the chapter was able to hire a new care services coordinator to provide patient services to the western half of the state, expand their Quality of Life Grant funds to give financial assistance to people living with ALS, fund ALS specific clinics in Iowa and expand their loan closet to provide more equipment to more than 200 Iowans with ALS. Nancy Frates, mother of ALS Ice Bucket co-founder Pete Frates, has been involved in the development of the new campaign, and now serves on the National Board of Trustees of The ALS Association.

“I’m so proud that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge will continue to live on in this new campaign,” said Frates. “I truly believe that we started the end of this

disease in 2014 and it’s up to the entire ALS community to remind people of that unforgettable time every August, until we have a treatment to slow or stop this disease.”

Research says it can take up to $2 billion to develop one new drug to treat ALS. While a tremendous amount of progress has been made, there is much more work to do to turn ALS from a fatal disease to a manageable one.
