MARCH CLUB GATHERING

what the man had to say after texting some of her friends in the club to meet her there. If he was pushing for motorcycle use in the park, then they would campaign against him. She arrived at the park and watched as a sparse crowd of about twenty-five by Barbara Javor people gathered. A few minutes before the rally was to begin, a noisy contingent of about fifty motorcyclists arrived, revving their engines. The unofficial leader of the pack was Billy Bob, the brother of the councilman and his campaign manager. He was also an overweight ex-felon who used his bulk to bully people. Donny Joe was made of the same cloth, but he had managed to earn a football scholarship and a college degree, somehow balancing brawn and brains. He had used his fame as a football player to start a career in local politics. Carrie had never met either of the brothers, but she knew them by their reputations. They were often crude, misogynistic, and anti-intellectual. When the band of motorcyclists gathered in the park for the rally, a lump of dread formed in her belly. She stood with the small crowd in a knot fairly close to the councilman. She looked around to see if anybody she recognized had shown up. She saw no one.

C
arrie arose Saturday morning planning to start the day with a solo bike ride. She watched the news during breakfast. A local city councilman known as Donny Joe, who was running for mayor, was holding a rally at a park that morning. It wasn’t just any old park. It was a local gem and her favorite. It had a small lake surrounded by grass that was home to ducks and other waterfowl. Joggers and walkers enjoyed the perimeter path around the lake. The hills beyond the lake were covered with native vegetation and laced with interconnecting trails where hikers and mountain bikers challenged the climbs and descents. The park was one of the most popular attractions in town. Carrie knew the trails well. She and other members of her triathlon club volunteered to maintain them. There were rumors Donny Joe wanted to open the trails to motorcycles. Never, she thought. She’d ride her bike to the park and hear

Can’t race without: Shoes? LOL, because other than that I can always improvise if needed.. Most embarrassing or disastrous moment: While racing SuperFrog 2012 being pull out of the ocean vomiting and the ambulance waiting for me at the beach. They released me 10 minutes later, and I managed to finished the race DISQUALIFIED. Lance Armstrong was racing therefore we had tons of spectators, and I was afraid my picture will be posted at news as the rescue of the day. I came back the following year to finish what I started and got my medal. My equipment: Wetsuit: Aqua Sphere Phanthom Bike(s): Trek Madone, Felt IA4, and Scott Squadra Running Shoe(s): Newton Equipment wish list: One of those MF’s tri bikes worth $20 grand that I can’t afford but every friend suggests I should get in order to be faster.

Donny Joe warmed up the spectators with a few jokes that victimized women and other groups, clearly playing to the motorcycle crowd that guffawed at the crude humor. Once again Carrie looked around for anyone she knew. She felt like an outsider surrounded by motorcyclists in the park she loved. Donny Joe described his vision of the city when he would be elected mayor. Just about the only plan Carrie agreed with was filling potholes. He nixed expanding bike lanes on the boulevards because that would narrow the roads for motorized vehicles. He thought new pedestrian paths were a waste of taxpayer money when there were plenty of sidewalks already. “Everyone can come to this park to walk, run, and bicycle as much as they want. In fact, I’ll open it up for everybody, including motorcycles and quads.” He raised his arms and swept the panoramic view of the hills and trails. “I’ll rename it People’s Park.” The motorcyclists whooped and hollered, raising their fists as if in victory. Carrie couldn’t contain her rage. “You’re a fool!” she yelled at Donny Joe less than twenty yards away. “This is a beautiful natural park. It already has a heavy human footprint. Motorcycles and quads will rip it up beyond repair, and the noise will scare away the birds. You’ll ruin the park forever if you open it up. Don’t be a short-sighted idiot to please a small group at the expense of everyone else!” “What the hell?” Billy Bob said as he turned to glare at Carrie who stood near him. When she
returned the glare, he moved towards her. “Shut up, you b***h, before I shut you up.” Carrie checked the rising tide of her anger. She couldn’t ignore the hulk approaching her. “It’s not worth wasting my breath on the likes of you,” she said. “Hey, Billy Bob,” one of his pals said. “She said she doesn’t like you or your bad breath. What are you going to do about it?” Carrie glanced at his companion who had misquoted her before returning her gaze to the approaching menace. Her adrenalin surged with fright, flight, and fight emotions. She grabbed her bike to leave, but then Billy Bob grasped the bike’s protruding aerobars. “Did you call my brother an idiot?” he growled. “He’s not thinking logically. Maybe he had too many concussions on the football field. Let go of my bike.” Still grasping the bike, Billy Bob reached across it and jabbed her in the chest. “Girls like you should keep their mouths shut.” She glared at him. “Keep your filthy hands off me.” She tried to jerk the bike from him, but he wouldn’t let go. Realizing he shifted his balance back to hold the bike while she pulled it, she suddenly shoved it hard into him. As he tried to regain his balance by stepping back he tripped on a large rock protruding from the grass. He fell to the ground with a thud. His massive body knocked two other spectators, and they fell too. The next moments passed in such a blur of continued on page 18

TCSD CONVERSATION WITH: By Craig Zelent
”
James Ismailoglu
“
I recently had the chance to talk triathlon with James Ismailoglu. James does a lot of heavy lifting the TCSD as our Membership Director and one of our beginner coaches. If you are at a Tri Club event, then James is probably there, too. I know you will enjoy getting to know James. Craig: What sports did you do before triathlon? James: I used to play soccer during my high school years in Turkey many, many years ago. I was a terrible runner, couldn’t even run a mile without stopping multiple times. Fast forward to the recent years… In 2008 I had a couple of 5Ks that I used to brag about, turkey trot and MCRD marine bootcamp 5K.
How did you get introduced to triathlon and TCSD? James: In May 2009, I was at a beach

birthday party and was introduced to a triathlete. We talked for a while. I was asking him lots of questions trying to learn more about the sport. At that time a triathlete was a civilian version of a Navy Seal to me. I had big respect. On the same evening I started searching, learning, reading more about this triathlon thing. Honestly it was scary at first, but I wanted to give it a shot.
How did Team Solana change your life? James: When I started to search about triathlon, Tri Club San Diego was on the top of my search results. I found out about their Team Solana training team. This was the first year of Team Solana. Entry fee was $350. It includ-
ed membership to the club, race entry to Solana Beach Triathlon, 10 weeks of coached training, many clinics for injury prevention, nutrition, core and of course swim, bike and run. Great deal! Our beginner coaches were Steve Tally, Dean Rosenberg and Steve Koci. In the following years I was a part of Team Solana as a mentor and beginner coach. We enjoyed helping the new comers to the sport, mentor them, coach them and train with them.
I have heard that you just did your 240th race. That is a lot of racing for a guy who

started in the sport relatively recently. What do you love about racing? James: After I got the tri bug, my dream was to become an Ironman. I volunteered for Ironman Arizona in November 2009 (three months after my first ever triathlon) and got an entry for 2010 Ironman Arizona. Here are a couple of crazy things to mention on my Ironman training. I did a century ride on Fiesta Island. Yes 101 miles in circles (22 loops), I did 7 hours 20 minutes at the gym, yes: six hours on the stationary bike and an hour on the treadmill. I was going full speed, I raced two 70.3 triathlons in two weeks. Super Frog and Oceanside 70.3 (2010). I raced my first Ironman in November 2010. Nothing describes that feeling crossing the finish line after a rainy, windy 140.6 miles. And I did it again the following year. I guess this is little backward but I raced my first Olympic distance triathlon after my full Ironman 140.6. Go figure! My crazy race life started in 2009 with 20 races, and 35 in 2010. I competed in my 243rd race in February 2017. I enjoy racing. I love being on the start line and even more crossing the finish line, such a rush feeling. After these
crazy distances I started enjoying shorter races more, going all out and finishing fast. This helped me to focus on the speed more than the endurance. Now they are my favorites, sprint triathlons and 5K run races. I started winning my age group or getting podium finishes on short races. I won my age group at TriRock Triathlon and qualified for age group Nationals in Omaha. I also started to have 5K podium finishes. I am also honored to have be accepted to Team Zoot triathlon team this year, which brings a more competitive edge to my racing life.
What are a few of your favorite races? James: Solana Beach Triathlon 2009 was my first official race, and it will be always special. That’s why I call Solana Beach my second birth place. Here, I was re-born as healthier, slimmer, fitter and faster. I’ve started doing something different last year on this race, duathlon and triathlon combo back to back. duathlon is the first race of the day. I finish the duathlon, go back to transition area to change, and go down the beach to start my triathlon. If you live in San Diego and are considering Ironman, Ironman Arizona is one of my favorites. I love this race. Just pack up and drive. No need to worry about the bike transport or paying extra to airlines for
your luggage. The city is very nice, and the course is very spectator friendly. If you have family or friends with you, they will see you many times during the race. This usually is not the case for the long races. This race was my choice for both my Ironman races. If you are into the short and fast races, nothing beats the Carlsbad 5000. It is called the fastest 5000. .3. You can spend the entire day in Rewards of Oceanside 70 this beautiful city. There are five races on the same day. You can do your own race, watch your family, friends race or sit down and watch the pros running the 5K in 13 minutes (scary). They also offer an all day 5k, where you can participate all five 5K races. I also like the expo, breakfast, and restaurant options between races. Nice sporty day for the entire family. Actually it became our tradition. Last year we had nine runners from our family.
What was your experience like at the 2016 USA Triathlon National Championships in Omaha? James: After winning my age group at TriRock I received an invitation letter from USAT to the 2016 USA Triathlon National Championships in Omaha. I was very excited to race with top age group athletes from around the country. I started working on the logistics as much as the athletic side. Out of town races require good planning. You need to make sure to start early, from hotel booking, bike transport, flight arrangements and you need to give some time to yourself after you arrive for meetings, expo and acclimatization. You have to have a very detailed check list not to forget anything. Nationals weekend had two races: Olympic on Saturday, and Sprint on Sunday. Since I was already there and my bike and race gear was there, I decided to race both distances on back to back days like many of the other athletes did. This is a very well organized event. Don’t miss it if you 2011 IM Ariz ona. get an invitation.
Congratulations on your qualification to run the 2017 Boston Marathon. What lessons did you learn with this process? James: While I enjoy the short races, running the Boston marathon was on my radar. Since the triathlon is a seasonal sport, I stay active as a runner during off seasons. I started doing long runs to work on my run endurance, and ran multiple local marathons. I qualified for Boston in 2016 twice. My first qualification was by 33 seconds. I knew this was not going to be enough to be accepted for the entry. I needed a larger cushion and got my second qualification at the Mt. Charleston Marathon by about four minutes. I knew this was my ticket to Boston. Every marathoner knows the mile 20 feeling. I was about to give up at mile 20. Keeping the same pace was going to be enough to qualify, but could I? When I thought about the Boston at that point of the race, it was only six miles away, if I needed to start all over again it was going to be 26 mile away, taking the six mile option was a no brainer. I am glad I pushed through those little voices in my ear.
What are some of the dumber things you have done as a triathlete? James: When you are chatting with a triathlete, there is always a dumber things continued on page 10

CONVERSATION, continued list, here are my two best ones: It was my first 70.3 distance, Super Frog 2010. While I was getting ready at home, I checked my wetsuit off my check list of packed items. But the wetsuit felt it a little wet. I hung it back to dry. Well, race morning we (my brother and I) hit the road to Coronado Island and I was setting up my transition I realized I didn’t have my wetsuit, oops. It always pays to be an early bird. My brother drove back to Solana Beach, picked up the wetsuit and flew back to Coronado just before the swim start. It was the wildest surf entry. I probably couldn’t have survived the swim without my wetsuit. Second one; last year when I raced the duathlon and triathlon combo in Solana Beach. I installed adapters on my pedals to convert them to platform pedals so that I could start and finish my duathlon with my running shoes. This was going to save time for me not to change shoes twice. This plan worked well for the duathlon, but I forgot to remove the adapters for the triathlon. Here I am running to the bike mount line with my bike shoes, then realized that the pedals still have the adapters installed. There was no way to click in. They are not easy to remove. You need some pointy metal (like a key) to pull them out. I borrowed a key from some spectator,
MARCH 2017 10
removed the platforms and clicked in to start my ride and of course this was over a minute loss on my race time. Comparing the bike times on the same day, same distance. I noticed that my bike times were identical with run and bike shoes almost a minute less spent in transition. From that day on, I started racing with platform pedals on short races using run shoes only. Here are the benefits. You only change shoes once, you run faster with your bike to the bike mount and on the way back from the dismount to your transition area. Works for me!
You do a lot for the TCSD. You are the membership director and one of the beginner coaches. What do you do for these roles? James: I love to give back to the community that brought me where I am today. Currently I am the Membership Director of the TriClub. I help members with their membership questions, login, password reset etc. I also answer future member’s questions, send them the information they need, help them as a beginner coach/mentor. I organize beginner bike rides and brick runs. I volunteer at almost all race expos, meetings or any other club activities. The Tri Club has changed my life to become healthier and fitter. I enjoy the camaraderie, friendship and having many
resources to learn more and improve. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with others.
What are the best features of your TCSD membership? James: I like to share my time with the same minded crowd. Here come the Tri Club social events, beginner meetings, club meetings, introduction to Tri Club meetings. These are always fun gatherings, information exchanges and sharing the knowledge. There is always something new to learn.
What are your future goals in multi-sport? James: I will go to Boston this April to enjoy the entire 26 miles with my phone, taking pictures all the way to the finish line. Qualifying for Boston was the hard part. Now it is time to enjoy it. My finish time is not the object this time. On the list of goals: Making it to the Team USA for triathlon or duathlon, this will be like going to the Olympics after the age of 50. Another hard one on this list is running a sub 20 minutes 5K.
Who is one of your triathlon hero’s? James: My triathlon hero is

Craig Alexander. He was the number one triathlete during my first years. I asked him on Facebook what he would recommend to a first timer on his Ironman, and he posted on my page “Enjoy it, and remember we do this for fun. Good luck”. That was priceless.
Who would you like to thank for the success Hanging with some of my heroes, Chris Lieto and Craig Alexander. you’ve had as a triathlete? James: All these things wouldn’t happen if you James, thank you so much for shardon’t have the full support from your family. My ing your story. I’ve wanted to do this with wife and my daughter were always supportive on you for a long time now. Thank you for all this crazy journey from couch to an Ironman and you do. I look forward to running Boston Boston. From time to time, they come race with with you this year. Good luck at Boston and me too, 5K runs for now, there is always hope to beyond! have more triathletes in the house I guess. And, of course, my brother who saved my butt on SuperFrog 70.3.

IT’S THE LAW:
By Richard L. Duquette, Esq.

Grass Roots Bicyclist Advocacy
Avid cyclists are aware of the need for legislative and local changes to promote bicycle safety. This article is a primer on organizing as modeled by the author’s experience with the San Diego County Democratic party’s efforts. While the entire cycling community may not be on the same side of partisan politics at the national level, we can still come together around some key state and local issues to inspire change and make our roads, paths, and recreational trails safer for bicyclists. The obvious issues include advocacy for better lighting, more bike lanes, repair of potholes and other dangerous conditions, and lobbying at the state level for public entity immunity reform, giving cyclists a right to sue when they are injured due to dangerous conditions on government land. There are other local issues around which the cycling community can unite, such as the preservation of open spaces and trails and protecting or gaining access to trails. There are a number of local organizations devoted to different bicyclist issues. It is my hope that the proposals in this article will translate effectively into unifying these various organizations as a voting bloc that can be effective at the state and local level in identifying and supporting candidates for office who support issues that matter to all of us. The most effective way to make the roads and trails safer for bicyclists is to have a voice in the policy making process. With that in mind, we reflect on some basic principles about how that is done.
Grass Roots Organizing 101 Many Democrat activists in San Diego participate in grass roots organizing. This is also known as the “Go Team.” Historically, Go Teams have been known to increase voter turnout by up to 10% in a precinct. This is why they are a valuable tool. By contrast, advertising, mail, and phone banks

increase turnout anywhere from 1% or more. As our San Diego Party Chair Francine Busby said, “Personal contact is the most effective way to increase voter turnout.” The critical issue on which this article will focus is what factors specifically increase the conversion ratio, or voter turnout, in a party or precinct. First, start by selecting quality Community Coordinators (CCs). CCs are based on a geographic area. For example, there is one CC for the city of Carlsbad, one for the city of Oceanside, etc. These CCs, in turn, train Precinct Leaders (PLs). As the name suggests, the PLs are responsible for smaller geographic areas within the larger community. An ideal Community Coordinator will be a “people person.” That is, they will be someone who gets along with others—a person who is open-minded and has real life experience dealing with people. These personality types are usually drawn to professions such as social workers, teachers, customer service, trial attorneys, health care professionals (treatment more than research), and the like. So it’s a good idea to seek out recruits from among these professions. On the other hand, the personality types such as engineers, computer programmers, IT professionals, and elite members of the social structure may lack the “street level” understanding of how to connect with people from varied social, economic, cultural, racial, and religious backgrounds. These personality types are useful in other campaign roles (such as data analysts, etc.). But the Community Coordinator position should draw from those who enjoy working with the public. The ideal CC is a person who has actually walked the lower income apartment complexes, trailer parks, and retirement homes, getting to know the people who live there. Because they understand the dynamics of your community, they understand the nuances of grass roots organizing. Moreover, the CC who actively connects with their PLs is likely to increase turnout. Here’s some tips for CCs on how to actively connect with a PL: 1. Hand pick PLs who are “people persons.” 2. Train the PLs in a hands on manner, in an intimate setting. This is the best way to connect, and in turn, the best way to communicate the important details on how to connect to voters. You have to get to know people before you can understand what’s important to them, and communicate the issues in a way that motivates them to vote. One highly successful CC, Betty Ball, of the Lake San Marcos Democratic Club, developed tapes to effectively train her PLs. These
training sessions were so successful, her voter district conversion ratio skyrocketed from about 46% to 87% among Democrats. This astounding increase gave the Democratic candidates a real advantage. Yes, we all know there is an eighteen minute Democratic training video that walks the PLs through the Go Team basics, like interpreting a precinct list. The criticism I have with the video, however, is that it doesn’t aim high enough. It’s a well done video, but it’s missing how to actually “connect” with the various voters. As Betty Ball would say, “It’s about the people.” And she’s right. I know this because I’ve worked in several elections, watched the training video, and been a Central Committee member for over four years, all while studying the election process. I’ve attended countless Central, Area, and various Club meetings. I’ve been a trial lawyer for over 33 years, with over sixty (60) jury trials under my belt. I study people. My training involves the careful use of psychodrama to connect with people, develop a consensus, and deliver an impactful message. I think I get it. 3. Constant training of PLs is essentially a form of “followthrough” by a CC. A PL can’t expect to get results, or even know how to achieve results if not properly trained. CCs who
merely hold an initial PL meeting, hand out voter lists with door hangers, and check back with a PL after the election will fail to improve their precinct voter turnout. There should be ongoing training and communication throughout the process, to ensure that the resources put into PLs are being maximized. 4. CC voter turnout must be tracked for progress from election to election, and if results don’t show improvement, they should be inspected to determine why they failed to increase turnout. Their work, activity, and numbers must must be scrutinized in order to identify ways to improve. It’s like a job performance evaluation. The “sales numbers” don’t lie. (And don’t think Republicans aren’t doing this). 5. If a CC’s statistics remain low or static, they should be respectfully replaced. 6. An effective CC gets to know their PLs. 7. An effective CC is trusted by their PLs. 8. In turn, the PLs are empowered to “be there” for their voters, who will reach out and count on them. The PL becomes a real neighborhood Go Team leader. Go Team members must be given training and door hangers a month ahead of the ballots being sent out. Then the PLs are primed for the job. continued on page 14

IT’S THE LAW, continued 9. Too much control by the Democratic Party Administration will stifle the energy and creativity of the people connecting at the grass roots level. Oversight and accountability for results are a positive thing. But CCs and PLs alike need to be free to decide how best to reach out to their unique communities. 10. Perhaps incoming Community Coordinators should be selected by consensus at a meeting of other Community Coordinators who have the experience and success, as opposed to the Administration. 11. In this information age, the “Data People” (who do data mining and analytics) are an essential support component for a CC. This is where those engineering and tech-oriented people I discussed earlier have a very real role to play on Go Teams. These people compile the voter data and lists via the Vote Builder program, and provide field workers with important demographic information and insights to help them focus the campaign message. This sort of information is often thought of as being most effective on a macro-scale (say, a statewide or nationwide election). But in reality, having the data advantage can make an even bigger difference at the local level, because it enables highly specific mes-

sage targeting that is not possible in a larger scale campaign. Our hats are respectfully tipped to our “data” brothers and sisters. To recap, the Go Team’s job is essentially to “teach” voters how to vote. We should be open to new ideas, continuous review of our results, new strategies, and independently networking with Democratic candidates to share information and support. I realize CCs and PLs are volunteers. But they volunteered because they want to make a difference. They want to win. Our leadership is duty bound to ensure that we put them in a position to be successful. Political campaigns are analogous to war. We must train, educate, and equip them to win the battles. Giving our field workers the right resources and training will instill confidence in the candidate that the party “has their back,” while they invest their own time, money, and reputations on a campaign.
Call to Action This article is intended to make us stronger, not to criticize or attack our leadership. This is a call to action to hire, and immediately review, all “Go Team” activity before election day. As you know, sixty percent (60%) of voters return their ballots in week
four. The days leading up to the election are critical. Secondly, I propose that we form an immediate, countywide Yahoo group or private Facebook group for Club Presidents, Council of Clubs Leaders, Community Coordinators, and Precinct Leaders throughout the county to exchange information. (This includes CA DEM canvasser and Hispanic Outreach Programs). Social media is the fastest tool at our disposal to make an impact at this late stage in the game. And as James Carville, Bill Clinton’s campaign manager said, “Speed kills.” Applying these principles to the bicycling community, this all begins with unity and communication among the various organizations that represent cyclists’ issues. Once these groups are united and the lines of communication are open,
we can begin to develop a community wide understanding of what is important to us. Once this happens, we can begin to identify candidates and initiatives that we can rally around as a community. Then, the activism begins and we can start taking our message to the broader community. Ride Safe – Ride Strong!

As a collegiate triathlete on the UCSD triathlon team, late-winter/early-spring is the most important training time for us to get ready for the last few races of the collegiate calendar and prepare for nationals. Since the academic calendar forces our conference to have most of our triathlons in Northern California in the fall, and then Southern California in the spring, many of the team members of our team have not yet had the chance to compete in a collegiate triathlon this year. The TCSD Black Mountain Duathlon in January was the perfect opportunity for our team to get our feet wet without actually getting our feet wet. The first race for us for the spring season was a reverse triathlon at UCIrvine in February, and the TCSD duathlon was a perfect prep race for the UC-Irvine collegiate race. The UCSD team had 12 competitors in the TCSD Duathlon, which is a better turnout than
what we have at many of our collegiate races. It gave us the chance to practice our transitions in the heat of competition and be prepared for a variety of running surfaces since many triathlons we compete in have some trail running involved. The weather on race day for the duathlon was perfect as the sun was out, and the temps stayed cool enough to allow us to give maximum effort without overheating. Although the TCSD duathlon was an informal race that didn't require a lot of extra time at registration and transition, it still provided a competitive and fun atmosphere with a wide range of athletes to provide a challenge and motivation for everyone on our team, including the two members who had never raced before. To get us in racing mode, we even did our UCSD cheer just prior to race start. We toed the line after getting the notification to get ready for the start since we wanted to make sure to perform in this training event the way we will be competing at races this season. The fast runners from the UCSD tri team formed a pack at the front that also included some of the speedy TCSD runners. The rest of us blended in with the large contingent of TCSD members at the duathlon, and we enjoyed the camaraderie

HARMONICA VIRGINS, continued events that Carrie wouldn’t be able to sort them out until later. “What’s going on there?” Donny Joe roared as he rushed to his brother and Carrie. Carrie took a few steps to pick up her bike lying near Billy Bob’s feet. She lost her balance as she panicked and hurriedly turned to wheel it away from the crowd. She stumbled and started to fall. Holding the handlebar with her right hand and reaching out with her left to brace her fall, her knees hit the grass as the bike pitched forward into the path of Donny Joe. The front wheel clipped his leg a moment before the aerobars rammed into his groin. He yowled and bent over, his hand cupping the injury. “You couldn’t have aimed that any better if you had tried,” a familiar voice behind her said. Carrie looked up and saw a man she recognized named Leighton. He was a member of her club and one of the volunteers who helped maintain the park trails. As Leighton reached to give her a hand, she saw a group of bicyclists had appeared out of nowhere and had circled her with their bikes in a protective corral. “Thanks,” she said as she rose. “You got my text?” “Ducks!” Leighton suddenly bellowed. Carrie dropped to her knees again, unaware of what danger she needed to avoid. A dark shadow rushed over her with a cacophony of quacking. The flock of ducks left a trail of excrement bombs in its flight. None hit Carrie directly, but one pasted her bicycle frame. A gooey bomb hit Donny Joe’s shoulder as he grimaced in pain nearby. Billy Bob wasn’t so lucky. Several globs hit him as he was standing up. His curses were louder than the din of the ducks. Without warning, the sprinklers came on, soaking everyone on the lawn. Some people rushed off the grass to the perimeter path, but many remained to watch the growing drama. That is, until a few moments later when several patrol cars with blaring sirens and flashing lights screeched to a halt in the parking lot. Pairs of police officers rushed across the grass. Many of the motorcyclists split as soon as the police arrived. Billy Bob wasn’t fast enough to lumber away, and the police stopped him. Carrie figured with his criminal record, he might be in a heap of trouble now. As suddenly as they came on, the sprinklers shut off. The drama and cold water caught up to Carrie, and she started to tremble. Leighton put a protective arm around her as Donny Joe glared and stepped closer. Several people with video cameras followed him.

MARCH 2017
“You started this,” he snarled at Carrie. “You instigated a nearriot and assaulted Billy Bob and me. I have witnesses.” Carrie’s jaw dropped. “Are you kidding? I picked a fight with Billy Bob, who easily outweighs me by a hundred pounds? Why would I do that?” “You and the rest of you eco-freaks and running, biking showoffs prancing around in your skin-tight outfits. All of you think you’re the only ones who have rights around here. You attacked Billy Bob and me with your bike, started the sprinklers, and sent the ducks. I’ll see you in court.” “Wait, wait, wait,” Leighton said, raising his arms like a referee. “The only events planned this morning were your rally and your brother’s arrival with his band of motorcyclists seemingly intent on making only your opinion count. I saw him charge her. That’s why we rushed to protect her with our bikes. Everything else that happened was due to a harmonic convergence of fate.” Donny Joe frowned. “Harmonica virgins? Who are they? I’ve never heard of them.” Carrie and Leighton looked at each other, and she burst out laughing. Leighton turned to face someone recording the exchange with a video camera before he spoke. “Harmonica virgins were present at the rally today to let it be known they want the park safe for ducks, families, runners and bicyclists, and not motorcycles that destroy the trails. This was how they communicated.” Donny Joe glared at Carrie and Leighton before stepping away to intercede with police questioning Billy Bob. Carrie knew she’d have to endure police questioning too, and she was glad for the free moment to calm down. “Harmonica virgins?” she said. “Is he that ignorant? A fool and his words are soon parted. If this gets on TV, he’ll never be elected. He’s unknowingly campaigning for our side.” That evening Carrie watched the news. Scenes from the rally, of the newscaster calling Carrie a “tough, petite triathlete” taking down two men nearly twice her size, Donny Joe’s comments about harmonica virgins, and Leighton’s response filled a sixtysecond slot of air time. She mused that harmonica virgins conspired that morning to fend off Billy Bob and Donny Joe and had probably helped save the park. Her phone pinged with a text message from Leighton. “We need to print club t-shirts with harmonica virgins on them. What do they look like?” She smiled and texted him. “That’s just what I was wondering.”
