Obama passes baton to Clinton, imploring nation to elect her

Creston earns praise as RAGBRAI host after grueling day for bikers.

■

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

Exhaustion. Joy. Stress.

All of these and more were felt by the approximate 200 community volunteers who helped accommodate the rolling city of 20,000 for an overnight stay in Creston Monday as part of the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa.

And, add one more — relief. It’s all over, until next time.

Clean break

By Tuesday afternoon, when the last of the approximate 17,000 riders and their support personnel had moved on to the next stop in Leon, there was barely a trace of evidence that Creston’s population had more than doubled the past 24 hours. “(Parks and Recreation Director) Mark Huff told me his staff could hardly find any trash on the grounds

during the day, let alone afterward when nothing was left behind,” said Ellen Gerharz, Creston Chamber of Commerce executive director and a member of Gerharz the city’s RAGBRAI Executive Committee.

The Des Moines Register’s decision to plot a southern Iowa route for its 44th event for cyclists gave Creston a chance to showcase itself for the first time in 19 years. The atmosphere was considerably different than the 1997 stop, partly because of the demographics of the riders.

The average age among RAGBRAI participants is now 48, with 60 percent age 40 and above. It was a younger, more unpredictable mob of people in 1997.

This time, campgrounds were reportedly quiet by 10:30 p.m.

“I was communications director when the ride was here in 1997,” said Jo Duckworth, Union County

Emergency Management coordinator. “Some crazy stuff went on then. The age of riders is older than it was 20 years ago, and they (RAGBRAI officials) work hard to keep that stuff from happening anymore. The campgrounds were spotless the next day when I went around to pick up signs.

You would have never known that so many people had been there the night before.”

Part of the reason for the relatively subdued environment in this year’s overnight stay was the long, grueling ride on Monday from Shenandoah.

For comparison, Sunday’s ride from Glenwood to Shenandoah covered 49.7 miles (67.9 miles with an optional loop) and 2,614 feet of climbing. With the loop it was 3,620 feet of climb on the southwest Iowa hills.

Monday was a reality check for the riders. It began rather harmlessly for 6.2 miles to Essex and 10.7 miles to Bethesda. From there, it was one hill after another, including some mountainous climbs on either side of Corning in Adams County.

“WE GOT some reports that it was one of the toughest days they had ever been on from veterans of the ride.”

The day’s total distance was 75.2 miles, under an afternoon sun with temperatures reaching the high 80s.

It was not only the longest day of this year’s 419-mile route, but also the toughest in regards to hills with 3,994 feet of climbing.

“We got some reports that it was one of the toughest days they had ever been on from veterans of the ride,” said TJ Stalker, who coordinated staffing for the beverage garden in uptown Creston near the entertainment stage.

That crowd was strong between 9 and 11 p.m., but the late-arriving crowd of bikers from the grueling ride and the exhaustion many felt kept it a little less bustling RAGBRAI | 14A

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Hours of testimonials, urgent pleas and persuasion have led to this. Now, it’s time to hear from Hillary Clinton.

The former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state on Thursday will step out of the shadows of presidents past and present for her moment to convince Americans that she is the best choice to helm a nation looking for a new era of leadership.

President Barack Obama anointed her the inheritor of his legacy Wednesday night at the D e m o cratic con- Obama vention.

Delivering a passionate case for his onetime rival, Obama declared Clinton not only can defeat the “deeply pessimistic vision” of Republican Donald Trump but also realize the “promise of this great nation.”

“She’s been there for us, even if we haven’t always noticed,” he said.

Clinton appeared unannounced on the platform soon after to soak up the roar of cheering Democrats.

She pointed at the man who denied her the White House eight years ago, smiled wide and gave him a hug.

Summoning his most famous line from that 2008 campaign, Obama said: “If you’re serious about our democracy, you can’t afford to stay home just because she might not align with you on every issue. You’ve got to get in the arena with her, because democracy isn’t a spectator sport. America

isn’t about ‘Yes he will.’ It’s about ‘Yes we can.’”

Wednesday’s display was the picture of diversity that Democrats have sought to frame the whole week: The first African-American president symbolically seeking to hand the weightiest baton in the free world to a woman. It culminated a parade of speeches over the last 72 hours — from men and women, gay and straight, white, black and Hispanic; young and old — hoping to cast the Republicans as outof-touch social conservatives led by an unhinged and unscrupulous tycoon.

Reeling off his greatest hits as president, from the auto industry bailout and health care overhaul to landmark deals on climate change and Iran’s nuclear program, Obama said the choice was between Trump vision of “a country where we turn against each other, and turn away from the rest of the world” and “the America I know.”

He evoked Ronald Reagan, a move that drew criticism from Clinton when they were rivals, to contrast the Republican icon’s vision of America as “shining city on a hill” with Trump’s description of the U.S. as “a divided crime scene.”

“America is already great.

America is already strong,” Obama added. “And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump.”

Trump did his best to steal the spotlight Wednesday.

Following reports Russia hacked Democratic Party emails, Trump said he’d like to see Moscow find the thousands of emails Clinton OBAMA | 2A

BUYING? SELLING? I CAN HELP. 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Lenox Tigers celebrated a victory over Sentral Fenton in the Class 1A State Championship game. The 10-5 win marked the schools’ first-ever state championship. The victory may have sealed Lenox’s 2005-06 athletes’ status as the best in school history.

No other class could claim a state title, runner-up finish in football and substate final appearance in basketball – all in the same year.

Wiggles and Wags 4-H club received an unexpected surprise at the Union County Fair. Earlier in the year, the club had received $550 from the Dekko Foundation after applying for a grant to purchase equipment for dogs.

Dekko representatives presented them an additional $10,000 during the 4-H dog show to celebrate giving away $100 million. Dekko also gave the members leashes, dog treats and cake, stunning the group with the gifts.

deleted from the account she used as secretary of state. The appearance of him encouraging Russia to meddle in the presidential campaign enraged Democrats and Republicans, even as he dismissed suggestions from Obama and other Democrats that Moscow already was intervening on his behalf.

Hours later, Trump told Fox News he was being “sarcastic” although shortly after his remarks on Wednesday, he tweeted that Russia should share the emails with the FBI. Trump’s comments fed Democrats’ contentions that the billionaire businessman is unqualified to be commander in chief. He has no national security experience and has dismissed decades of U.S. foreign policy constants, like standing by NATO al-

50 years ago Creston McKinley Lake probably had a first – a floating comfort station. But it wasn’t intentional, and without the usual starred door, was hardly usable. Pranksters evidently went to a lot of work to float the outdoor bathroom out to the float used by water skiers on the southeast side of the lake, since the float was anchored down.

Ad: “35 years ago today ... on July 30, 1931, we started serving food to this community. Five years later, we open the first Chicken Inn. Twenty years ago, the new Chicken Inn was finished after the first had been destroyed by fire.

During those many years, we tried to please our customers with delicious foods and bountiful meals. Thousands have express their pleasure and satisfaction with our food lies that long suffered under Russian domination. Yet in a scattershot news conference Wednesday, Trump tried to turn the table on Clinton, saying he believed it unsafe for her to receive national security briefings in light of her mishandling of classified information via email while in office.

On Thursday, Democrats continued to claim it was Trump who is a “dangerous” choice.

“It’s an existential choice for the country,” the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, said of the election in an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Kaine was one of several heavy hitters who took the stage Wednesday night, who praised Clinton in Spanish.

“Hillary Clinton is ‘lista’,” he said.

In what was likely his last prime-time speech of his political life, Vice President Joe Biden delivered a roaring case

for Clinton. It was a Biden special, rich with his regular-guy folksiness, misty-eyed storytelling and hard hits.

Trump’s “cynicism and undoubtedly his lack of empathy and compassion can be summed up in that phrase he is most proud of making famous: ‘You’re fired,’” Biden said. “He is trying to tell us he cares about the middle class.

Give me a break. That is a bunch of malarkey.”

After a quarter-century just behind the men in charge, Clinton on Thursday gets her turn alone with the American public for what is likely the most important speech of her career. She will be tasked with winning the trust of a public deeply skeptical of her honesty, polls show.

Some Democrats still aren’t convinced of her candidacy, either, a sentiment underscored by the protests of a small but boisterous set of supporters of her primary challenger Bernie Sanders.

Clinton’s campaign said she will lean heavily on the “stronger together” campaign theme in her remarks.

She will invoke her 1996 book “It Takes a Village” and will continue to woo moderate Republicans.

That effort was hammered home Wednesday by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who implored Americans to “elected a sane, competent person with sane, international experience.”

Retired Marine General John R. Allen, who has endorsed Clinton, will be joined on stage Thursday night by a group of veterans to focus on Clinton’s national security credentials. Allen was Deputy Commander of U. S. Central Command and a former commander of the NATO mission in Afghanistan.

Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, will briefly introduce her mother.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, July 28, 2016

Political analysis from Jerry Springer HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Hillary Clinton was nominated for president by the Democratic convention delegates’ roll call vote on Tuesday, making her the first woman in history to be a major party nominee. It’s official. Hillary Clinton is now one step closer to achieving her lifetime dream of being able to pardon herself.

Al Gore’s office refused to say Tuesday why he did not come to the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. He’s very wise to lie low for a little while. Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz would never have been hamstrung by e-mail scandals if Al Gore hadn’t invented the Internet.

Hillary Clinton will accept the Democratic nomination for president today in Philadelphia and the race is on. It’s the most progressive match-up in history.

Democrats are fielding the first woman candidate for president

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

while the Republicans are putting up the first person of orange color.

Jerry Springer was interviewed at the Democratic convention Tuesday where he predicted that Hillary will pick up Bernie’s voters. You can’t make it up. Only an election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would qualify Jerry Springer to be America’s most sought-after political analyst.

Hillary Clinton’s unfavorable rating reached an all-time high Tuesday with Donald Trump’s unfavorable rating similarly high.

The attack ads claim one’s a crook and one’s a maniac. Gang leaders now recruit young people by telling them that any one of them could grow up to be pres-

As somebody once said Another heartfelt and original speech from the Republican National Convention, this one delivered by Donald J. Trump himself.

Fourscore and seven weeks ago, our followers brought forth on this continent, a new candidate, conceived in casinos, and dedicated to the proposition that a sucker is born every minute. There was resistance, but he prevailed. How many fools must a man talk down, before you call him The Man? I have a dream that someday Little Rubio supporters will be walking hand in hand with that slug Jeb Bush’s supporters, all to elect me, Donald J. Trump, as president of these United States, indivisible, with liberty and justice for natural-born citizens and my wives.

The real job is ahead of us. Win just one for the Gipper. And remember, nice guys finish last.

Read my lips! I have a dream. This land is your land, this land is my land.

Happy days are here again. What is good for our country is good for Trump Enterprises, and vice versa.

Remember. You heard it first here: God looks after fools, drunkards, and the United States of Donald Trump.

Winning isn’t everything — it’s the only thing. So damn the party elite.

Full speed ahead! From the sublime to slime is but a step. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror.

Who am I? What am I doing here?

Never mind. Ask not what Donald Trump can do for you; ask what you can do for Donald Trump! Being Trump means not ever having to say you’re sorry.

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

What, me worry? I don’t think so.

Come on in to the Trumpisphere, where all the women are strong, the men are good-looking and all my children are above average. I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color of money somewhere and don’t notice it.

The buck stops here. Right here in my pocket. Bottoms up on Trump wine. All we have to fear is Hillary herself! So walk softly and carry a big shtick. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

We the people shall overcome.

Yes, we can. I will accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.

I am the decider! And I’m a Trump, not a chump. Our long national nightmare is just beginning.

And ketchup is still a vegetable.

This will no longer be a country run by the likes of Hubert Horatio Hornblower. No. It’s a New Frontier, a New Deal and a New Beginning. I came, I saw, I conquered! The Eagle has landed.

I will govern with my gut, not my mind, or one of those places.

We will build a wall. We will build a wall. Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton revealed in an interview that her Spotify playlist includes Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez.

It’s such a small world. In a separate interview, Bill Clinton revealed his To-Do list includes Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez.

Michelle Obama got high marks from political commentators for her speech to the Democratic convention Monday night in Philadelphia. It was nice hearing from her again. Obama Michelle Obama is now the first person in history to give a speech at both the Republican and Democratic conventions.

The Democratic convention had an awkward moment when Michelle Obama said she lives

in a house built by slaves and the crowd cheered. The moment called for reverential silence by the delegates. Anyone who’s ever seen “Blazing Saddles” knows that they’d have done it for Randolph Scott.

Bernie Sanders received a three-minute ovation as he walked onto the stage at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. He vowed to break up the Big Banks in his Sanders speech at the Wells Fargo Center. Next Tim Tebow will break into the Playboy Mansion and tell everyone to get their clothes on.

Bernie Sanders’ speech at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia Monday was met with wild approval by delegates and supporters. His speech lasted an hour and 20 minutes. Bernie Sanders’ speech was interrupted 39 times for ap-

plause and three times for bathroom breaks.

John Kerry raised eyebrows Sunday by declaring that air conditioning is as big a threat to the American way of life as ISIS. In a way he’s right. Air conditioning allows Congress to remain in session an extra three months a year, which is a 25 percent increase in annual destruction.

Donald Trump laughed off claims that Vladimir Putin released stolen email from Democrats to help Trump win. The conspiracy theories are flying. On Tuesday, ISIS maniacs beheaded a Catholic priest in Normandy, and out of habit the Democratic delegates blamed it on Russian hackers.

Pope Francis issued a tweet Friday praising summer vacations as the annual time of physical and spiritual renewal. During the pontiff’s own vacation this past week, he’s been seen driving around the Italian countryside in a Ford Focus.

He obviously takes his vow of celibacy very seriously.

Real Estate Report COOL SAVINGS

Check seals on your refrigerator door by closing it on a dollar bill. Replace the gasket if you can pull it out easily.

When you open a refrigerator door, up to 30% of the cooled air escapes. Keep the refrigerator temperature 36-38 degrees and the freezer at 0-5 degrees. Full refrigerators run more efficiently than empty ones, so keep the pop in there. The efficiency ends when a fridge becomes overloaded so don’t stuff in everything.

Energy Star refrigerators use 42% less energy than a 30 year old model.

Placing hot food in the refrigerator won’t affect energy use significantly. Unplug that old refrigerator in the garage. It can cost $100-$200 per year. Uncovered food and liquids release moisture which makes the fridge work harder.

5 ways to say goodbye to your ‘sad desk lunch’ (BPT) – You’re running out the door, already late and thinking about that important 8 a.m. meeting. Lunch is the last thing on your mind. In fact, you usually just pick something up from the deli line or local fast food place and hurry back to your desk. Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. Only one in five people actually ditch their desks during their lunch hour. When you feel your stomach growl, it’s all too easy to grab something from the vending machine or - if you remember - to pack a cold turkey sandwich. But there are plenty of easy ways to spice up your lunchtime routine at work. Here are some tips to improve your mediocre midday meal: Walk away from your desk.

You don’t need those stale potato chips. You can bake your own with only six ingredients. Thickly slice two pounds of potatoes and coat them with olive oil and one tablespoon of salt. Season with cayenne and ground pepper. Arrange the slices on a greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until potatoes are crisp and golden brown. Then, spread them out on parchment paper, sprinkle with salt and enjoy. Pack a handful of chips in your lunch each day for more crunch and less guilt.

Stray from the PB and J. Peanut butter and jelly might be a staple, but it’s time for a grown-up work lunch. You can find sandwich fixings that are not only easy and quick, but take your lunch to the next level. Try a gourmet chicken salad like the no-mayo Avocado Chicken Salad from Willow Tree Farm. It’s a better-for-you option, saving you calories and fat, because it’s made with Aveyo, a spread simply containing Hass avocado, white vinegar, olive oil, sea salt and lime juice. It takes the place of eggs and most of the oil, while still maintaining that classic creamy texture and flavor.

Find a new way to pack your salad.

Do you eat at your desk every day?

You have a lunch break for a reason; so use it. You’re busy and need a few minutes to recharge throughout the day. You’ll come back refreshed and ready to be productive for the rest of the afternoon. Eating at your desk also means you’re probably multi-tasking, not paying attention to your food. Leaving your desk will help you become a more mindful eater and you’ll enjoy your meal more.

Take a walk, socialize with coworkers, do something that gets you up Forget about soggy, wilted lettuce. and moving for at least 15 minutes.

One of the best ways to pack a salad is Bake up a batch of healthy in a quart-sized canning jar. Put your chips. dressing on the bottom, add in your Step away from the snack machine. lettuce, veggies and any other salad

to pack a lunch? Choose a lunch you can throw together in minutes. A chicken salad wrap, tuna melt, pita pocket sandwich with hummus or a Greek yogurt parfait are all relatively simple, healthy meals you can prepare in the office. Keep the ingredients on hand and lunch will be a no-brainer.

Make sad desk lunches a thing of the past with these tips. For more ideas for reinventing your lunchtime routine, visit willowtreefarm.

toppings. If you really want to kick up your salad game, Willow Tree Farm’s new Sriracha Chicken Salad layers perfectly with leafy greens and adds a tasty spice to your salad. Everything stays separate until it’s time to toss together. Simply pour the salad out into a bowl and you’re ready to eat. Your salad will also last for a couple of days in the fridge, so you can make a few days’ worth of lunches ahead of time.

Shiny once again Hello, Heloise: I read your column in The Villages (Fla.) Daily Sun. I have BLACK APPLIANCES, and when I clean them there is a cloudy film on the surface.

What is the best product to use when cleaning a black dishwasher, microwave, stove?

I like my appliances shiny. – Shirley T. in Florida A microfiber cloth is your friend in this case. Grab a damp towel and an ammonia-based cleaner or even vinegar. Wipe away fingerprints and greasy smears. Buff with a dry microfiber towel. – Heloise IT’S A LOCK Dear Heloise: I have some brass hardware on a designer handbag that has turned dingy.

What’s the best way to clean it?

– Christine M. in San Antonio Christine, first try a cloth infused with a brass cleaner, which is readily available. My second answer may surprise you, but head into the kitchen and grab the ketchup!

Ketchup’s No. 2 ingredient is vinegar. The acid in vinegar will clean the darkened brass.

Squirt a small amount onto a dry towel and buff the hardware lightly. Then remove the ketchup with a damp towel.

Avoid any leather trim.

Vinegar is a workhorse around the house. In my nearly 40 years of helping harried

Hints from Heloise homemakers, I’ve recommended grabbing vinegar many, many times! I’ve put together my best vinegar hints in a handy pamphlet, which is easy to grab for quick reference.

Would you like to receive one?

Jump on my website, www.

Heloise.com, to order, or send a self-addressed, stamped (68 cents), business-size envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX, 78279-5001. One cup of white vinegar in the rinse water will help remove detergent buildup from laundry. – Heloise THE SERVICE OF A SPARE SOCK Dear Readers: If your washer or dryer eats a sock, thus rendering a “pair” an impossibility, don’t fret. Here are some hints for the remaining sock: –Drop your phone into the sock for extra protection in your handbag.

–Scoop fresh, dry coffee grounds into the sock, and hang in the clothes closet to help remove musty odors. You also can pop it into the fridge.

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

–Slip the sock over a furniture leg when moving.

–Slide a damp sock over your hand, and detail-dust and clean hard-to-reach areas of your home.

–Use the ribbed top of a crew sock as a hot-coffee sleeve.

You can decorate it with buttons and exaggerated stitching for fun.

– Heloise THANK YOU, PLEASE Dear Heloise: We received lots of cards and gifts for my mother’s 100th birthday. The cards got separated from the gifts – no return address! (They did include cash and postage stamps, which was lovely.)

Please write inside the card your name, address, ZIP code and what the gift was. This makes it so much easier to send thank-you notes. This goes BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker for birthdays, weddings, graduations, funerals – any event where you give a gift. – Kay B., Livingston, Ill.

Horoscope For Friday, July 29, 2016– ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Sports events, romantic dates and time spent with children are areas where you might lose your temper today. Your objective is to have fun today. Keep this in mind.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Avoid family squabbles or conflict with partners today, because you need this like a fish needs a bicycle. Stay mum and do everyone (including you) a favor.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Don’t try to win an argument today. Don’t try to make a point. Demonstrate grace under pressure. Be a role model for others.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Money squabbles are likely today, especially over children or social situations. Money is always a tricky thing between friends and romantic partners.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Most people are touchy and irritable today, which is why you have to tread carefully. You might feel that you have to defend your ideas or beliefs when talking to someone. Oh well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Something going on behind the scenes might annoy you or become annoying for someone else. Assume nothing. Be prepared to smooth-talk your way out of something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Quarrels with friends or members of groups might occur today. Think of the downside, especially for the future. Don’t make a scene. Anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You might be intimidated by someone in a position of power today because he or she is rude or coming on strong.

That’s his or her problem. You don’t have to react.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do not preach or proselytize to others today because it won’t work. People will object. In fact, some people are waiting for an excuse to fight.

Don’t give it to them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Postpone discussions about shared property and inheritances for another day, because something will go south fast today. Easy does it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)It’s not easy dealing with

people today, especially bosses and partners. Before you know it, they are at loggerheads. Run away! Run away!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Another argumentative day!

The difference today is that arguments will likely take place at work. Chill out. Stay on good terms with co-workers because you have to work with them tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

YOU BORN TODAY You are creative, practical, optimistic and persevering. You are

also an excellent friend and mentor to others. Something you’ve been involved with for nine years will end now to make room for something new.

Although this will be a year of service to others, it is also a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

Marnin’s relish time together at state baseball DES MOINES—Nodaway Valley assistant baseball coach Allen Marnin took a minute to compose himself last Friday night.

He stared out over the playing surface at Principal Park in Des Moines.

What happened over the previous few hours left a mark on him and the rest of the Wolverines baseball program.

Sure, the game didn’t go exactly how they wanted it. A powerful Newman Catholic team flexed its muscles in a 12-2, six inning win.

For Marnin, this game had an extra-special meaning.

It was the final time for him to coach his son, Sam, a senior.

“If you have to end it some place, what a great place to end your career,” he said, pausing for a few

moments.

As he wiped a few tears away from his eyes, a proud father reflected about what those moments down inside the lines at Principal Park meant.

“Sam’s had some opportunities to golf and play basketball at the state level. There, I’m a fan,” Allen Marnin said. “Here, I get to coach.”

For the father, it was the conclusion to many years of coaching his son playing baseball. Allen

coached Sam and others when they played American Legion ball in fourth, fifth and sixth grade.

“It’s something I enjoy,” he said.

Sam Marnin appreciated what his father has done over the years helping them on the diamond.

Beathard, King, Jewell step up to lead Hawkeyes n

By MARC MOREHOUSE,

Cedar Rapids Gazette

CHICAGO — Two of the three players Iowa brought to Chicago for Big Ten media days are on the 2016 schedule poster. The third is the first junior invited to the event in head coach Kirk Ferentz’s 18 seasons.

It wasn’t always posters and first-evers for quarterback C.J. Beathard, cornerback Desmond King and linebacker Josey Jewell during their careers at Iowa.

During Beathard’s first season as a Hawkeye, Iowa finished 4-8. He was a 170-pound true freshman on a team that lost its last six games in 2012. Despite that 4-8 finish, King and Jewell still committed to Iowa.

King saw opportunity. Jewell chased a dream.

Sure, now it’s posters and Hitch (Christian Kirksey and first-evers. Then, it was and Anthony Hitchens, the strong mentors and hard other Iowa linebackers from physical lessons.

2012-13) were nicer. Morris Did you know quarter- was a nice dude, but on the backs who run the field, he didn’t care at scout team are fair all, and he would try to game?

Beathard lay you out even if you knows. were the quarterback.

“Trust me, when You were scout team, so I redshirted and I it didn’t matter. “When played scout team, I ran through a hole, I’d those guys didn’t Beathard be like ‘Where’s James give a crap if they hit at?’” Beathard said. “I you or not,” the senior said didn’t want to get randomly during Big Ten media days hit by him. I learned quickly.” on Tuesday.

On the other hand, Former Iowa linebacker James Morris was the one Beathard credited Morris, who didn’t care. The all-Big Kirksey and Hitchens for Ten and former New York showing him how to be a Big Giant didn’t go half speed Ten football player.

“Guys like Hitchens, with young Beathard.

“He did not care, he was Kirksey and Morris, when they were comgoing to try to hit you,” ing through, they said Beathard, did it the right way,” Beathard who earned second-team said. “They were all-Big Ten smart guys. Micah Hyde (former while leading Iowa to a 12-2 record and a Iowa cornerback now with Rose Bowl appearance last the Packers), guys like that, season. “James Morris was you learned from how they the worst. He didn’t care, he handled themselves and how was going to hit you. Kirksey they did things. They were

successful with what they did. You could model yourself off those guys.”

King had offers from Wisconsin, Indiana and host of Mid-American Conference schools. He looked at Iowa, with the 4-8 and everything, and saw opportunity.

“Opportunity, the stability of the coaching staff,” King said. “Also, getting away from home. It was a place I could focus on myself and get things together with school.

It was an opportunity to play ball.”

King listed former Iowa cornerback B.J. King Lowery, who’s signed with the Denver Broncos, as a mentor along with Kirksey.

“Those guys were on me every day, making sure I did the daily details and doing things the right way,” King said. The physical lessons?

King listed off a sprint relay of speedy former Iowa wide receivers — Damond Powell, Don Shumpert, Tevaun Smith and Kevonte Martin-Manley.

“They made me better day in and day out,” King

said. “They were crazy fast.

There was a lot of competitiveness going back and forth between us. There’d be some frustration, but we were trying to make each other better.”

Jewell might’ve come into the best mentorship situation. Hitchens, Kirksey and Morris were there.

“They showed you how to lead, the things you need to do on and off the field, your daily disciplines,” Jewell said. “Nutrition, sleep and recovery, things like that. They were things they wanted to teach you. They weren’t like, ‘Screw you.’

They could’ve been like that and just worried about themselves, but they were worried about the future team and the future teams coming down the road.”

Jewell is linebacker. Yes, there were physical lessons.

Most of those came Ferentz from former offensive tackle Brett Van Sloten, a fellow Dec-

orah native.

“It was ‘little brother, big brother’ syndrome,” Ferentz said. “Brett used to take unmerciful cheap shots on Josey. I knew what he was doing. I had seen the brother act before. That was all like, ‘OK, I’m passing this on to you, you’re going to be one of our better players, so toughen up.’”

That’s where this comes full circle. James Morris schooled scout-team Beathard physicality. Jewell passed that down to Ryan Boyle and Drew Cook, last year’s scout team quarterbacks.

“It’s funny hearing their stories,” Beathard said.

“They’ll be down there on their side of the practice field with the defense and then they’ll come over at the end. They’ll be like, ‘It was crazy. Josey drilled me today. He totally took me out.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I remember when I was down there.’ That’s part of it. You learn.”

This is the tried-andtrue path to a poster or a first-ever.

Iowa State men’s basketball hires Hobbs as special assistant AMES (AP) —Former Alabama head coach David Hobbs was hired as the Iowa State men’s basketball special assistant to the head coach, ISU announced in a statement on Wednesday.

Hobbs replaces Neill Berry in that role. Berry was named an ISU assistant coach earlier this off-season.

Hobbs, a 26-year coaching veteran, was the head coach at Alabama from 1992-98.

ISU men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm served as an Alabama manager under Hobbs.

Hobbs went 110-76 with the Crimson Tide.

“It is great to be adding coach Hobbs to our staff,” said Prohm in a statement.

“I’ve had a relationship with him for more than 20 years so there is a familiarity there.

He’s been with championship teams and programs,

and he’s been in the NBA, which will be a significant benefit to our players.

It will be a great addition to the program.”

Before becoming the Alabama head coach he was an assistant coach with the Crimson Tide from 1985-92.

After Alabama, Hobbs served as an assistant coach at Kentucky.

Since 2008, he’s been an NBA scout working with Charlotte, Brooklyn and most recently Utah. He took a year off from scouting in 2009 to serve as the Japanese national team head coach, leading

the squad to a second-place finish at the Southeast Asia Cup. Hobbs also served as an assistant at VCU from 197985.

“Steve has always been a guy that I have had a lot of respect for, from the way he has conducted himself to the steps he’s taken to get where he is today,” said Hobbs in a statement. “I’m very invested in Steve, going all the

way back to when we were together at Alabama. I’ve always thought that if there is any way that I can help him be successful, I’d be happy to do it because he has not skipped steps, he’s paid his dues and represented himself the right way at every university he’s ever been at.

When the opportunity came to join him and help him I was happy to do it.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Is it Kyle’s Cup to keep?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Any chance a Gibbs team won’t win the championship this year?

GODSPEAK: I picked Martin Truex Jr., so he’s a first cousin of the Gibbs team.

Does that count?

KEN’S CALL: Anything can happen with the current system, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see three Gibbs cars among the four finalists at Homestead.

Is Kyle Busch’s Xfinity Series dominance not given enough credit?

GODSPEAK: Most Cup drivers take Saturdays off, so give Busch credit for staying in race mode through the entire weekend.

KEN’S CALL: Kyle’s Xfinity win percentage is .257; Dale Earnhardt’s was .154; Mark Martin’s was .208. He probably deserves an occasional back-pat on Saturdays.

Odds that this week will be Jeff Gordon’s final NASCAR race?

GODSPEAK: This won’t be the last time we see Mr. Gordon behind the wheel of a race car. No sir.

KEN’S CALL: You know, the Rolex 24 is run under the NASCAR flag, so technically, I guess he’ll race again.

When a driver and team dominate at Indianapolis the way Kyle Busch dominated in his Gibbs Racing Toyota, there’s no downplaying the accomplishment, given what Indy requires from a race car. However, most tracks and most races include enough quirks and happenstance to make sure the best car can still lose. So why don’t we go ahead and run the rest of the schedule before putting a Busch placard on the banquet’s head table.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM INDIANAPOLIS 1. Chasin’ Richard

Small crowd, dull action … has Brickyard bottomed out?

One of Kyle Busch’s goals was to surpass Richard Petty’s record total of 201 NASCAR victories in national touring series (Petty had 200 Cup wins and one in the long-ago Convertible Series). Busch’s Cup/Xfinity/Truck Series total now stands at 166, including a whopping 83 Xfinity triumphs.

Busch has 38 Cup wins since 2005, and he’s just 31.

That might be a bit harsh, so let’s instead suggest a modern term: tipping point. Sunday’s tedium, before grandstands filled to about 20-percent capacity, reminded everyone that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, while historic and grand, isn’t perfectly suited for stock-car “action.” But maybe help is coming from the front office.

Tony George?

2. Old warriors There was a time and place when Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart didn’t really like each other. With age comes understanding. In a totally unscripted moment, they drove side by side in a farewell lap to Indy. Stewart finished two spots ahead of his former nemesis in the race.

3. Name that race

Yes. The public learned Sunday that George has been very quietly reinstated as chairman of the family-owned Speedway. During his previous 20-year tenure, which ended in 2009, there was a ton of change at Indy and throughout racing due to his leadership. If there’s a way to bring better life to the show, and if NASCAR gives the thumbs-up, George won’t be afraid to pull the trigger.

Richard Petty’s total of 201 NASCAR wins (yes, 201) seemed untouchable until Kyle Busch started piling trophies. GETTY IMAGES/PATRICK

Jeff Gordon will continue to sub for ailing Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet at Pocono this weekend. After a 13th-place run at Indy, which knocked off some of his racing rust, Gordon may be a serious contender at the strangelyshaped Pocono course, where he scored six wins before his retirement. “I’m looking forward to going to Pocono,” said the four-time Cup champion.

2. Pocono package Every year since Pocono Raceway got two Cup Series dates in 1982, those races have been only weeks apart, historically one date in June and another in July. So if it seems like stock cars were

just racing at the 2.5-mile course, you are correct. The Cup series ran there on June 6, which was a little less than seven weeks ago. That race was run on a Monday after Sunday’s race was rained out.

3. Six-pack It’s hard to believe, but there are only six regular-season races left on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar, and five

more slots open in the Chase playoffs. What does it mean?

It means we are in the “big squeeze” section of the schedule. There are two "wildcard" stops on the slate. The first is Watkins Glen, a road course, and the other is Darlington, nothing short of a madhouse where attrition could produce an upset winner.

Nodaway Valley senior baseball player Sam Marnin and his father, assistant baseball coach Allen Marnin participated in their final baseball game together last Friday as the Wolverines fell 12-2 in six innings to top-ranked and top-seeded Newman Catholic at the state baseball tournament at Principal Park in Des Moines.

him,” Sam said.

Dan Jameson’s top lieutenant saw the senior and junior class help lead the baseball program to places it has never been. Nodaway Valley reached its first-ever substate game, and a few days later its first-ever state tournament game.

“We’ve got some nice seniors and a nice group of juniors behind them,” Allen Marnin said. “The younger guys have learned a lot from them about being competitive, hanging together and never giving up.”

The upperclassmen’s desire to win has rubbed off on those who’ve seen it.

“The younger guys have learned a lot about them from being competitive and hanging out together,” Allen Marnin said. “That’s been the most satisfying for me.”

This senior class is diverse in their athletic talent. They reached state basketball two years ago and the substate game this year. Baseball marked the second straight sport the Wolverines have been to state at, following a trip to the boys state golf tournament, where it placed third in Class 1A, this spring.

“They’re pretty solid all the way around,” Allen Marnin said. “Of course, everybody’s got their favorite, which one is a little more of a strength.”

The link holding the boys together is a desire to excel, no matter what the activity is.

“What everybody has in common is that competitiveness regardless of what sport it is and try to have them do things the right way,” Allen Marnin said. “It’s got us to where we are today.”

The man behind the success can be traced back to cross country, boys basketball and track and field coach Darrell Burmeister.

“Coach B’s got a great thing going on and has for a long, long time,” Allen Marnin said. “He’s outworked and outscouted people for years. These guys have been a big part of that.

As for the game itself Friday, stepping foot onto the grass at Principal Park as Allen hit fungoes to the outfielders and Sam took ground balls at third base from Jameson was when it finally sunk in for both.

“It was kind of surreal,” Allen Marnin said. “To play that first round of catch, all of the sudden it gets real in a hurry. You just try to enjoy it.”

He hit his fly balls like normal. He and Jameson visited like they customarily do when the other team is taking infield.

“I tried to approach things as we normally do,” Allen Marnin said. “We got to go out and enjoy it.”

The game started well for the Wolverines. Nodaway Valley scored two in the top of the first.

Newman Catholic’s bats took over in the bottom of the first. The Knights scored five in the first, three in the second and three more in the third.

“Newman is a tremendous team,” Allen Marnin said.

“My goodness, they’ve got the bats.”

Still, the Wolverines kept giving it a go.

“I liked how we battled,” Allen Marnin said. “We didn’t give up. We competed the entire game.”

As the game ended, father and son soaked it up even more in their final baseball game together.

“It’s a good experience,” Sam Marnin said. “It means a lot being the first time here.

It’s all real fun. It’s been real good.”

RAGBRAI: CONT. FROM | 1A

on Adams Street than some had anticipated.

“Some of them said they’d normally go down to the town’s festivities, but they were too wiped out,” Stalker said.

Campgrounds were set up at Southwestern Community College, the grounds of Creston High School and Creston Elementary/Middle School and McKinley Park. Support vehicles were directed to the main campground at SWCC. Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development, said a crew of 75 to 80 staff members of the college helped those arriving find parking areas and accommodations they needed for camping there. One of three information centers was also on campus at the Technical Center building across from Southern Prairie YMCA. “We had vehicles rolling in as early as 8 a.m., and bikers coming in past 9 p.m.,” Lesan said. “ T h e y started filling in everywhere, like ants.

T h e y wanted s h a d e . Lesan I heard from a lot of them that it was one of the toughest rides they remember. There were people who went into the dorms and we never saw them again. I think Hy-Vee had a really good day out here, because some folks just wanted to get a shower, find something to eat and get some rest. Our own food service cafeteria ran out of food.”

In hindsight, Lesan said some food vendors may have had better business locating in one of the campgrounds.

But, the plan was to draw people to the uptown area for the food, beverages and entertainment west of the restored Creston Depot.

Shuttle system Fortunately, a shuttle system was in place to get people from all three camping areas to the center of town and back again. Those vehicles ran until 12:30 a.m.

Tuesday.

“We had four school district buses and, at one point, 12 Southwest Iowa Trolley vehicles running six routes we had lined up,” D u c k worth said. “ T h e y were very b u s y , but not with real Duckworth long wait times.”

Duckworth’s responsibilities on the Executive Committee included working with local law enforcement, fire department and its EMS services, communications via the Law Enforcement Center and transportation issues.

“Sometimes it was like herding cats, trying to get everyone together for all of the planning,” Duckworth said, chuckling. “But we all worked very well together, just like we always do for any major event or incident. It’s different than a tornado, where everything is a response nature. This is something you plan for ahead of time, and we took it very seriously. If we messed up, this was life safety issues we’re talking about. Also, in regards to transportation, it was important to get people

moved around quickly and safely.”

Mother Nature also cooperated.

“I prayed for months that we not get any storms, the two weeks leading up to it so the town wouldn’t be torn up, and also on that day,” Duckworth said. “We could evacuate people into shelters at SWCC and the schools, but at McKinley Park among all of those trees, that’s a different story. If we had a lot of wind, hail and lightning, I was prepared to use the Code Red calling system to all of the residents within a two-mile radius of McKinley and ask them to turn their front porch lights on if they were willing to take people in. When the house is full, turn the light off. Fortunately, we didn’t have to do that.”

There were only a couple of injuries, Duckworth reported. One biker fell and sustained a broken arm after hitting a rough spot on Sumner Avenue north of the underpass while returning to his campground late Monday night on his bike. There were no arrests of visiting bikers.

Volunteer force Gary Bucklin was one of the co-chairmen of the volunteer brigade that included about 150 people, not including the SWCC and local schools’ staffs that helped at those facilities. One of the strengths of Creston as a host, several riders commented, was the availability of volunteers dressed brightly in the “official” green T-shirts who always seemed nearby to answer questions and help with logistical matters.

“It was kind of fragile for awhile trying to handle the traffic patterns at McKinley Park,” Bucklin said. “If we had it to do over again we’d

probably staff that area with more people. Support vehicles were coming in through the underpass from Highway 34, and bikers were coming into the park from the other direction. But, everybody did a great job.”

Once SWCC was established as the primary campground, RAGBRAI officials told Lesan to expect 10,000 people on the campus overnight. Streams of trucks and bicyclists poured into the east and south entrances of the campus throughout the day.

“While you’re doing it, you kind of have the adrenaline and energy going and it’s kind of fun,” Bucklin said.

“But when it’s all over, we had a lot of hot, tired people.

We have to thank the city parks people, all Bucklin the people who helped from SWCC and the schools, the Alliant Energy people who set up all the power needs of the vendors uptown. A lot of people went the extra mile to make it all work.”

Ty Rogers was busy overseeing committees that dealt with housing needs, the campgrounds, showers and sanitation and Creston Ride Right Committee that raises community awareness of bicycling safety issues.

Rogers said “all but less than 10” housing needs were met before Monday’s arrival. He said the layout of the city, requiring three separate sites for camping — all several blocks from the main food and entertainment area — provided some challenges. But the shuttle system helped alleviate many of

those concerns.

“Sure, if we had one huge area where everyone could camp nearby the main section of vendors, that would be ideal,” Rogers said. “But we just don’t have that space here, so we have to divide them. In talking afterward to Tom Lesan at SWCC, (Superintendent) Steve McDermott with the schools and Mark Huff about McKinley, nobody reported any big problems or incidents. Mark said the park campground stayed pretty full of people throughout the evening. A lot of them just ordered pizza deliveries for something because they were tired and wanted to stay where they were.”

An Iowa State Patrol trooper who regularly counts RAGBRAI bicycles at major intersections told Gerharz that Creston attracted 17,786 riders Monday. There were more than 650 support vehicles. Some of those, such as those with shower facilities on board at McKinley Park, were full-sized semitrucks.

Showers were also available at the SWCC Student Center and Creston schools.

Olympics comparison Gerharz said trying to coordinate services for such a large group all at once is akin to a host city planning for the Olympic Games.

“There you work for years and you have them for two weeks on a much larger scale,” Gerharz said. “We had them for one day. And we didn’t build any great buildings. But, it’s similar in that all of that planning for six months is compressed into that one day that it finally happens. Then, they’re gone.”

Both Gerharz and Amy

Hook, co-chair of committees involved in publicity, hospitality and the information centers, said a highlight of the experience was seeing so many from the community come together for a common cause.

“People just answered the call,” Hook said. “The things people did were so special, such as the hospitality committee putting the railroad sign out and sounding the train whis- Hook tle when bikers got to that (Summit Lake) bridge coming into town. People were lined up cheering them into town. It was just fun.”

Timing wasn’t ideal, as many families were busy in Afton at the Union County Fair on Monday.

“It is too bad the fair was going on at the same time, and we missed those people because they are good families who would have been great help,” Hook said. “But they were where they needed to be.

It all worked out.”

A recap meeting of the Executive Committee is planned for early next week to summarize the experience and go over budget items. Although none of the committee members interviewed Wednesday were anxious to tackle RAGBRAI again in the near future, perhaps it would be best not to wait two decades again, Hook noted.

“It would be best not to wait another 20 years and forget everything,” Hook said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to talk over things that went well or things to work on if we’re given another opportunity. It really is a great town event that makes you proud.”
