Week’s Worth Week’s Watch Last week’s newsworthy stories

Things to look for this week

UDCC fire

Nutritious food team

Police chief award

All-American Sisters

Marston move

The Ames Fire Department got a call early in the morning on June 15 that the Union Drive Community Center was on fire. The initial cause is thought to be a grill that was left on but a full investigation is under way. The dining center closed for a short time but reopened on June 17. Check out the photo gallery on iowastatedaily.com of the late-night coverage of the fire in Union Drive Community Center on June 15. Included is a courtesy photo of the actual flames as well as what was happening with the emergency personnel. Ejiro and Ese Okoro finished their track and field careers together as All-Americans at the NCAA Track and Field Championships. Ejiro took home third place in the 800-meter run, finishing with a time of 2:03.37, the second fastest time in program history. Competing in the 400 hurdles, Ese was disqualified after knocking over a hurdle and finished in eighth place, which is the final spot to qualify for All-American status.

Moen named second team All-American

Katy Moen earned 12th place in the 10,000-meter run at the NCAA Track and Field Championships last week, which qualified her to become a second team All-American. Moen won two Big 12 titles as well as a NCAA West Regional title in the weeks leading up to the NCAA Championships.

Basketball arrest

ISU sophomore guard Matt Thomas was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated early in the morning June 14. Thomas is the second ISU men’s basketball player to be arrested for an OWI in two month. Abdel Nader was arrested in April and both are suspended indefinitely.

Grad student arrested

WHO TV reported this week that an ISU graduate student was arrested on charges of attempting to smuggle military grade technology to China. A warrant was served to Iowa State in December to search university computers. Wentong Cai has been held in a New Mexico jail without bond since February.

Field of Dreams 25th Anniversary

Baseball fans of all ages flocked to Dyersville, Iowa, this past weekend to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie “Field of Dreams,” which was filmed at a farm in Dyersville. The celebration included a celebrity softball game, a showing of the film and a panel discussion. Actor Kevin Costner, who starred in the film, was on hand as well as sportscaster Bob Costas.

with Tim Little By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com Tim Little is the owner of Finley’s Curbside Beastro, a popular food truck at the intersection of Stange Road and Osbourne Drive. Finley’s Curbside Beastro is the only food truck on the ISU campus and has been open on campus since 2013. How did you get started in the food truck business? Well you know, I used to do events outside using tents that you set up and take down that would take an hour or two before and an hour or two afterwards. I thought, “There’s gotta be a better way.” I’d been following the Food Network, watching food trucks, so we decided to build one. I built this truck from scratch. We built it and it’s been a good deal. We’ve been going for a little over two years now. What’s an average work day like for you on the truck? On a typical average day it takes about an hour, hour and a half prep time for each hour actually on the truck. Sourcing food, prep time, we get everything fresh all the time. My morning starts somewhere around 7 o’clock and then we start getting everything ready for the truck and then we pull out of my property about 9:30. We come up here [the intersection of Stange and Osborne], set up. It only takes about 15 or 20 minutes to get every-

thing cooking. That’s the great thing about a food truck. Our busiest time is between 11:30 and 12:30; we’re so busy, which is fine because we can crank the food out really quick. If you come in before 11:30 or after 12:30 it’s a more leisurely place. We get out of here approximately 1:30 or 2 o’clock every day. We try to have food ready between 10:45 and 1:15. What makes your food truck unique? Well, we were the first … I think the first true food truck in Iowa two years ago. There were taco trucks out there, but they usually go to one site and they don’t have a full blown kitchen like ours does. This truck has everything in it a real kitchen would have. What makes us unique is our menu offering, you know we deep fry our hot dogs, we wrap them in bacon. We came up with our own chipotle mayo, which gives it a really nice spicy lift. We introduced Cycones up here — it’s a tortilla wrap filled with anything from chicken to shrimp. We have a little bit of everything. Speaking of having everything, what’s your personal favorite Finley’s item? That’s a real toss up … I really like the tenderloins. The tenderloins are awesome. They’re a half pound so you have to be hungry. The other thing I really, really like is the Southwest Iowa Dog. That’s a quarter pound all beef hot dog wrapped in

bacon with r e d cabbage and chipotle mayo. Oh god, it’s so delicious. It really is good. Are you less busy in the summertime than you are during the traditional school year? Yes we are, but only because of the number of students. We go from eight or nine thousand students here in the summer to the main year having around 32,000, so it’s a big difference in flow. Fortunately many of our clients are professors, maintenance, construction workers and support staff on campus — that’s another six thousand people. How is running a food truck different from running a traditional restaurant? It’s easier and it’s harder. It’s harder because you don’t have things like a full blown walk-in freezer, our sinks are miniaturized so it’s a little more work to

clean up. However, it’s cheaper to run and if my location is bad I move. I can’t do that in a restaurant. In fact right now we’re in the process of building a second food truck that we hope to have on campus. It’s going to be a pizza truck. I’m excited about that. We’re going to start off rotating the two trucks every other day, but eventually we hope to have both of them here at the same time. We’re planning on having the students decide what the specialty pizza will be the following week and then we’ll see if we can make it. What’s the funniest thing that has happened working on the truck? You know, we’ve done some dumb stuff. One time we sent out a hamburger

Matthew Rezab/Iowa State Daily

Tim Little, owner of Finley’s Curbside Beastro, said his food truck will be on campus through the fall and likely into the winter, at which time he hopes to offer coffee and hot chocolate .

without a top bun on it. She came back the next day and said, “Hey can I have a little bit more today, I went topless yesterday.” Things like that just happen, you know. I tell you what, it’s just meeting the students and our customers because we get a lot of repeats and it’s just fun [to] joke around and see them grow. Do you feel like you’ve developed a relationship with the student body? Oh definitely. We’ve got some customers that come every day, we’ve got some who come in every other day, which means our food’s good and it means they’re very important to me. My biggest fear working on the truck is that we’ll turn out some bad food; we don’t want that. We have a

trust built up with our customers. Does anything ever shut you down for a day or two? In the wintertime I finally just put a rule out there. If it’s below 10 degrees, we don’t come out. It’s just cold, it’s just too cold. It’s not as cold inside the truck, but it’s just too cold for our customers. It seems like this would be the perfect tailgating truck. Did you ever think of taking it to a game? Oh yeah [laughs], actually we’ve been called for catering, and we’re going to do a wedding in September. We just did a couple picnics for about 300 people, so we’re ramped up a little right now. We just did Grinell’s class reunion a couple weeks ago and that turned out to be really good. We try to do a little of everything. When it gets super hot outside, we hand out flavored ices for free just to be nice.

150 Years of Ames

Legend leaves mark, never plays in Ames Editor’s note: In celebration of the 150th anniversary of our city, the Daily will highlight prominent figures, places and events in Ames’ history each week.

By Kelby.Wingert @iowastatedaily.com Jack Trice only played one football game for Iowa State. Many ISU students, alumni and fans recognize the name Jack Trice as the stadium that ISU football calls home. Iowa State’s football stadium is the only NCAA Division I football stadium to be named after an African-American athlete. Jack Trice was born in

Hiram, Ohio, in 1902. His mother sent him to live with his uncle in Cleveland, where he went on to attend East Technical High School and play football. While in high school, Trice was coached by Sam Willaman. After graduating high school, Trice and five of his teammates followed their high school coach to Ames, Iowa, to play for what was then Iowa State College. Trice was the first African-American athlete at Iowa State. He participated in both track and football. During the summer after his freshman year at Iowa State, Trice went to Ohio and married Cora Mae Starland. Trice and his new bride moved back to

Ames in the fall of 1923. On Oct. 6, 1923, Trice played in his first college football game against the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. On the road trip, Trice had to stay in a different hotel, without his teammates, because he wasn’t allowed to eat in the dining room with the rest of the team. On the night before his first game, Trice wrote himself a letter, which was later found in his jacket pocket. He wrote: My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life: The honor of my race, family and self are at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will! My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about on

the field tomorrow. Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part … Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good. Jack. During the third quarter of the game against Minnesota, Trice was trampled by several Minnesota players after landing on his back during a tackle. A Minnesota player stepped on his stomach and groin. Trice claimed to be fine, but he was removed from the game and taken to a Minneapolis hospital. There the doctors determined that Trice had broken his collarbone early in the game. They decided that he was healthy enough to travel home with his team. Trice began to have

trouble breathing on the trip back to Ames. A doctor from Des Moines was summoned when they arrived in Ames the next day. The doctor determined that surgery was too risky, and the next day Trice died of pulmonary hemorrhaging and internal bleeding in his abdomen. The college canceled classes for Trice’s memorial service, and more than 4,000 students and faculty members attended the ceremony. The movement to name Iowa State’s new stadium after Trice began in 1973. The movement had a lot of student support —

the 1974 Government of the Student Body unanimously voted to endorse the effort. The stadium was named “Cyclone Stadium” in 1984 and the playing field was named “Jack Trice Field.” The statue of Trice that stands outside the stadium today was donated by the 1987 GSB. The stadium was named Jack Trice Stadium in 1997. While at Iowa State, Trice majored in animal husbandry. He wanted to take his knowledge to the South to help black farmers when he graduated.

Editorial

Focus on positives after year of bad news As the students and citizens living in Ames, we have a lot to be proud of. We live in a beautiful city full of parks and rich history. We have great schools, both for children and those studying at the university level. Ames is a family-oriented city with the fun and vibrancy of a college town. Iowa State and the city of Ames have plenty of opportunities to be in the national limelight in a positive way. Whether it’s groundbreaking research, record enrollment or even last season’s Sweet 16 appearance, Ames and Iowa State have plenty of opportunities to receive praise and positive attention on the national level.

Unfortunately, all of those great aspects of our community have been overshadowed by all of the negative news to come from Ames in recent months. Nowadays, it seems as though negative news gets far more attention than the positive and that certainly has been true for our city and school. As a university, we should be concerned with the way our school is being viewed. Great things are happening at Iowa State, but they are far too easily overlooked because of the “bad news” casting its large shadow over our accomplishments. Not long after last school year started, a car

chase ensued on Ames streets and continued through the heart of campus during the school day. The chase was followed by a shooting on Central Campus, and things did not get better from there. The school year saw a professor get arrested for prostitution and another for fabricated AIDS research. Numerous student-athletes were arrested through the course of the year and into the summer. We saw yet another Veishea riot and the cancellation of our beloved, age-old tradition. And when the school year ended and the students left, the negative news continued. In the last month, an ISU alumnus and an ISU graduate

student were arrested by the federal government, one charged with possession of explosives and the other with attempting to smuggle military technology to China. But we cannot let those negative national stories define our community. It is a shame that our city and school are now recognized for all of the negative news to happen in this last year because we all know there is so much more to Ames than this bad publicity. We, who live, learn, work and play in Ames, know just how special our city is. We should be able to be proud of our community and all it has accomplished. We must em-

brace all of the positives. Unfortunately, there is not a clear answer to our problem. There is not one thing to do or say that will keep Ames from getting negative national attention.

So in response to all of these unfortunate events that bring a bad light to Ames, all we can hope to do is continue creating positive news in hopes that the negative will soon die out.

Task force needs to refocus on underlying cause of riots By Raghul.Ethiraj @iowastatedaily.com

he Veishea Task Force made some major decisions in the last two meetings. The members voted to discontinue Veishea in its current form June 5 and took a nonbinding vote June 12 to move forward without the name Veishea. Though these decisions help the task force move forward in a direction toward its recommendation, I do not believe that these will help solve

the problem we are facing. Looking at the data, the 1992 standoff between the crowd and the police occurred when the officers subdued and carried away an individual for public intoxication on Welch Avenue after he resisted arrest. In 2004, a similar standoff occurred when the police decided to “close” a large party of approximately 400 people at the corner of Chamberlain and Hunt streets. Likewise in 2014, officers went to break up another large party in the 2600 block of Hunt Street whose par-

ticipants, like in previous years’ confrontations, headed toward Welch Avenue and Chamberlain Street, eventually forming a large crowd Therefore, Veishea — as we know it — had nothing to do with any of these. So instead of unanimously voting to discontinue Veishea in its current form, could the task force have voted to discontinue the approach officers take when they confront house parties? Could it brainstorm ideas to better handle the dispersal of crowds after breaking up parties?

I agree that there is a party mindset among students when it comes to Veishea. But one needs to understand that partying is different from rioting. “Parties are one thing that are kept inside — in porches or patios,” said Micheal Owen, university professor and a task force member who has lived on the south side of campus for 25 years. Looking at the Veishea 2014 program, one could see that Veishea in its current form does not propagate or encourage partying even in controlled envi-

ronments. It is heavily invested in showcasing the university and student talent show events combined with some entertainment. The whole binding decision to discontinue Veishea in its current form does not address or prevent the underlying cause of the riot. The task force has also been discussing whether or not we need big concerts and evening entertainment as part of the new overarching event that will replace Veishea. “The [riots] happened on a night when

there were no large events” said Hillary Kletscher, Government of the Student Body president. “Big-name artists draw in 10,000 to 12,000 students while smaller events draw in 50 to 500 students.” “Veishea entertainment email was read by over 15,000 students, which shows they care about [Veishea],” said Nick Morton, Veishea 2014 co-chairman. On top of that, organizing these events “[provides] students an

opportunity for positive social interaction” and “[provides] opportunities for the development of student leadership,” as per the “Nine Traditional Purposes of Veishea” that were compiled more than two decades ago. Given the enormous evidence, a majority of the task force members still have an aversion to evening entertainment. But regardless of continuing the evening entertainment or not, this discussion does not address the underlying cause of the riot. Finally, the task force discussed and decided to vote on whether or not we need the name Veishea. What saddens me is that this passed with a vote of 12-3-1 to move forward without the name, thereby choosing to kill the 92-year-old tradition. There is still a possibility the decision could be overturned; since the vote was nonbinding, the task force could revisit this decision. But according to Dwayne Vande Krol, ISU alumnus and 2009-10 ISU alumni board chairman, “If this group unanimously voted to get rid of the name, then it would

take something very compelling to revisit this decision.” While the vote was not unanimous, it was close to it, so a reversal doesn’t seem likely. Making a decision on whether or not to keep Veishea as the name still does not deal with the riot problem, which is the reason the task force was formed, yet the task force discussed, brainstormed and voted on these decisions. Craig Anderson, distinguished professor of psychology, said that students would still associate partying with this new, but fundamentally similar, celebration. With only two meetings left, the task force is still in its infancy in planning the “new overarching event” that will replace Veishea. It still has yet to address the role, relevance and appropriateness of “other university-wide celebrations for the future,” which is what President Steven Leath charged it to do. So why is the task force trying to fix things that are not broken and completely unrelated to the riots when it is running out of time? Is it about time we all ask what the Veishea Task Force is really doing.

Summer storms threaten s if renters don’t know wher By Kelly.McGowan @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa averages 1 tornado death per year, 2 deaths have happened already this year.

-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

mes residents got an early taste of Midwest summer weather on the last weekend of the spring semester. Many residents know that the best place to go during a summer storm is low to the ground and away from windows, but not all rental properties provide this option. According to the National Weather Service, Iowa experiences about 50 tornadoes each year, with most of them occurring between March and July, peaking in June. There have been 13 tornadoes in Iowa so far this year. On April 27, a tornado that touched Wapello, Keokuk, Iowa and Johnson counties resulted in two fatalities due to outbuilding damage. On May 11, storms featuring a torrential downpour, quarter-size hail and 60 mile-perhour wind gusts blew through Ames, and a

“severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado” was located seven miles southwest of Ames, according to the Iowa Weather Network. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning until 11:15 p.m. and news sources urged viewers to seek shelter. Sirens had gone off when Joey Charlson, senior in management information systems, heard knocking at the door of his basement apartment on Tripp Street. About 15 people from higher-level rooms in his complex gathered in his apartment for 30 minutes to wait out the storm. “People were freak-

ing out,” Charlson said. The guests turned on the TV and watched weather reports. Some students were worried about the wind and lightning. “I’m just lucky I live in an apartment with a basement,” Charlson said. “A lot of apartments around here don’t have safety shelters.” Cinzia Cervato, professor of geological and atmospheric sciences, said that houses can be completely flattened, so she recommends leasing a place with shelter. “Make sure of the presence of a tornado shelter before you move in or rent,” Cervato said. She also said that some basements are

very open and people should make sure that there is adequate protection away from windows. “They need to know the risks and not be surprised in the night when [severe weather] happens,” Cervato said. tCharlson’s apartment did not come with set severe weather procedures, but he said that it was nice having a place for people to come and be safe. “It would be nice if they’d include safety precautions in leases,” Charlson said. When sirens sound, a plan of action to stay safe will be different with differing property types. “We have 22 buildings, and all of them are different,” said Ben Wichtendahl, leasing coordinator for Campustown. “Company-wide, we keep residents safe.” He said that the parking garages below the buildings in Campustown are the safest place to go. In the buildings without lower-

level parking, he said that tenants should go to the inside of the lowest level and avoid glass. “Don’t be that guy outside trying to film it for YouTube,” Witchendahl said. “It won’t end well.” The National Weather Service issues both tornado watches and tornado warnings. A watch is issued if the conditions for severe weather exist and a warning is issued if severe weather is imminent. Being from Iowa, he said that he knows storms, but he also knows that not all residents are familiar with Iowa weather. Some tenants have asked about what to do in the event of a tornado.

“We got a couple phone calls and I went, ‘OK, not everyone’s from Iowa. Not everyone’s familiar with severe weather,’” Witchendahl said. Campustown, in an effort to raise awareness, sends out safety tips in its monthly newsletter and posts them on its Facebook page. Wichtendahl said that Campustown is concerned with keeping residents and the public safe, and that if there was public interest in a severe weather safety education session, it would be “more than happy” to hold one at The Resort.

to get to a lower level. Spokespersons from both the local and national offices at The Grove said it was against their policy to comment on how residents would find shelter in a storm. Laura Kilbride, community manager of University West Properties, said residents living in Bird/ Celtic should go to interior hallways. Those living on the second floor of Fieldstone should also go to the Bird hallways. Those on the first floor of Fieldstone, Fieldstone Grand and Steinbeck are suggested to go to the basement or an interior room such as the bathroom or closet. Residents on the upper floors of Fieldstone Grand and Steinbeck should take shelter be-

Kilbride said Mortensen Place residents are safest in the basement garages and stairwells; townhouse residents are welcome to this area, but they should stay in an interior room if they do not want to go outside. An employee of First Property Management said that residents should follow standard procedures for tornado safety and stay tuned in to the news. Tenants of Hunziker Properties are able to come to the office if they have questions concerning their specific building’s safest shelter, an employee said. Cervato said that there is more to severe weather threats than just tornadoes and that it is important to be informed about these hazards.

An unexpected C journey

Hillman overcomes inexperience, eyes Olympic future

Christina Hillman throws the shot put at the Big 12 Championships where she came away with the title. Hillman caught the attention of college scouts with very little training or experience.

hristina Hillman’s ascent to becoming a two-time national champion in the shot put began not on a track but on a middle school playground. Christina grew up in Magnolia, Del., and attended St. Thomas More Academy, a tiny school with about 200 students. She was one of six members on the track team. She may have never even thrown the shot put, but when she was in eighth grade, her gym teacher saw her throwing a football 40 yards in the school yard and had an idea. The teacher called her husband, Dr. Adam Maday, a former collegiate hammer thrower who attended school with current ISU throwing coach Fletcher Brooks. Maday came down and watched Christina on the field. He then approached her father, John Hillman, with the notion that she had the potential to be a great track athlete. John said that was where the journey began. Three years later as a high school junior, Christina, a standout basketball and volleyball player, had a personal record throw of roughly 39 feet. The ISU throwing coach at the time, Grant Wall, was in northern Delaware scouting a thrower for Iowa State at a gym run by Pennsylvania Hall of Fame track and field coach Barry Swanson. John said he is unsure to this day who recommended that Wall looked into his daughter, but Christina’s name was

brought up that day in the gym. John received a call from Wall saying he was interested in a scouting visit. Wall came down to Magnolia to catch one of Christina’s volleyball games and have dinner with the family. John said that while Wall was impressed by Christina’s athleticism, the number of 39 feet was too low to even merit being a walk-on at Iowa State. John thanked him for his time and mentioned that he had some videos of Hillman throwing posted on Facebook if Wall was interested. Wall said he was, so John added him and got another phone call an hour later. “I asked him if he liked what he saw,” John said. “He said, ‘Oh no, it was horrible, but if she can throw that far with that horrible of form, there might be something there.’” Christina went on a visit to the ISU campus in November 2010. John said she came back enamored with the school as well as with a scholarship offer to pay for around 80 percent of her college fees. “In the summer of 2010, Coach Wall committed to her,” John said. “He believed in her and that was all she needed.” With shot putting now Hillman’s primary focus, John convinced the high school to allow him to create an indoor track team. Only two students came out, Christina and another thrower, and John coached the two as a volunteer. In her first meet, Christina threw only 36 feet. In her second meet, she found the same result. John then called Wall at

Iowa State and asked for help. Wall referred the Hillmans to Swanson, the proprietor of the gym where Wall first heard Hillman’s name. “I saw a girl who was 6 feet 2.5 inches with long arms and no clue how to throw a shot put,” Swanson said of the first time he saw Hillman. “I knew there was something that could be done there.” Both Christina and John said meeting Swanson was key to her finding her way to two consecutive NCAA titles. “Christina spent three hours with him and learned more about throwing than she had in three years,” John said. Hillman worked with Swanson on only two more occasions before the Delaware indoor state championship meet, but it was enough. “To go to the national meet, she needed to throw 41 feet flat,” John said. “On the last throw of her high school career, she threw 41 feet 4 inches and qualified for indoor nationals.” John said Hillman worked with Swanson 11 more times in the month between the state meet and the national meet. Christina entered nationals in the bottom heat, ranked 23rd out of 24 throwers. On Christina’s first throw at the national high school championships, with only 14 sessions of work with Swanson under her belt, she threw 47 feet 4 inches in the prelims and sat in second place headed into the finals. John said his family’s jaws dropped. On Christina’s final throw of the championship round, she flung the

shot put 48 feet 10 inches to win the national title. No thrower in history had ever come out of the bottom heat to place top three until Hillman came from nowhere to win it all. “It was a surprise,” Swanson said. “You get certain kids who are athletic and explosive, but when you try to get them to change their technique … 95 percent of those kids can’t do that. Christina can.” Swanson said Christina’s ability to perform under pressure combined with her ability to take an idea and perform it is what has allowed her rapid ascension to the top of the collegiate shot putting world. Christina showed that mettle again on June 14 when she claimed the national title on her final throw of the NCAA Championship in Eugene, Ore. “At the beginning of the week, I was kind of worried because I had injured my upper back,” Christina said. “I seemed to get better just in time for the event, but I had not really practiced at all that week.” Christina said that despite the setbacks, her experience and focus on

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 | Iowa State Daily | SPORTS | 11

the technical and mental aspects of the event were what carried her through. “After the first two throws [of the finals], I was in second,” Christina said. “It was my last throw that I finally put it together. It was very nerve-wracking, but I was able to pass first place by about eight inches. I really wanted that throw.” With two years left of collegiate eligibility and two national titles, Christina said she has nowhere to go but up, which is exactly where she has her sights set. “I am definitely aiming for more national championships,” Christina said. “I think I have a lot of room to grow and I don’t think I have reached my ceiling at all.” Christina also mentioned pushing for the NCAA shot put record, 62 feet 3.75 inches, which is roughly four feet farther than the mark she threw at nationals that she said was the third best throw of her still young career. Swanson said he believes if Christina threw perfectly right now, she could eclipse 64 feet. Christina also said she hopes to one day be an Olympian. Swanson said those goals are not only re-

alistic but probable. “She has got the leverage to do it, a high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fiber, a great competitive attitude and she has no problem working hard,” Swanson said. “I hope she lets me be involved and lets me help her reach that potential. She is my trip to the Olympics some day.” Swanson went on to say that Christina has barely scratched the surface of what she is capable of because, as far as proper training goes, she is “still a baby” with less experience than most of her peers. Swanson also said Christina is the best thrower he has coached in 30 years and the only thrower under his tutelage that he has ever believed has the potential to become the best in the world. “I’m always hungry. I think winning national championships only makes me hungrier. I am never content because I know I can do better and that is exciting to me,” Christina said. “For me, the Olympics is my dream and these championships are just another thing off my bucket list. It’s a confidence booster … and it lets me know that the Olympics are not a crazy dream to have.”

CyRide driver wins national rodeo as rookie competitor By Emily.Eppens @iowastatedaily.com One of Iowa State’s CyRide drivers, Nathan Shimanak, was awarded first prize and honored as Rookie of the Year in his first national bus driving competition. Shimanek, who is originally from Cedar Rapids, has worked with CyRide since 1999. He was urged by CyRide’s director, Sheri Kyras, to start competing in professional bus driving competitions, known as bus rodeos. Out of CyRide’s 140 drivers, about 35 competed. “Almost all professional driving organizations, whether it’s truck drivers or if it’s dump truck drivers or even police officers, typically they all have some objective skills course,” Shimanek said. “We [at CyRide] call it a road-eo.” During a rodeo, bus drivers are faced with various obstacles that they might encounter in dayto-day driving. They’re not only judged by their performance but by their time as well. One of Shimanek’s favorite obstacles is when huge, 55-pound barrels are placed only three inches wider than the bus itself. Then the driver has to drive at 20 miles per hour through the barrels, even though they are barely wider than the vehicle. The driver then stops abruptly in front of a cone placed not far from the barrels. If a driver does not meet 20 miles per hour through the barrels, knocks down a barrel or is closer than 6 inches from the cone, points are deducted. “Every once in awhile someone will be a little off, and a barrel will go fly-

Nathan Shimanek has been driving for CyRide for 15 years. He recently won two honors at a national bus driving competition, known as a bus rodeo.

ing.” Shimanek said with a smile. Shimanek won the state competition last year, moving him to a spot in nationals this year, where he placed first in the nation against 68 other drivers. He also received the honorary Rookie of the Year, an award given only to drivers who win nationals their first time. “I can thank Sheri for nudging me to be the best I could be,” said Shimanek. “Receiving the award was overwelming. I received a standing ovation from over 350 people, many my friends and peers. Everyone was so excited because they know how hard it is.” Nearly all participants in the bus rodeos start out locally. The top four participants are then sent to compete in the state competition against other bus organizations, such as Iowa City, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Finally, the top drivers from the state competition are sent to nationals. Shimanek said nearly every state is represented at

the national competition. After Shimanek’s first rodeo in 2007, Kyras, who has been with CyRide since 2006, put Shimanek in charge of organizing CyRide’s very own bus rodeo, which takes place once a year at the Iowa State Center. “It’s about the only parking lot big enough,” Kyras said. “We’ve been looking into other locations, but none so far have been big enough. However, different transit systems around the state host the rodeos, and we hosted the state rodeo last year.” CyRide is currently in its main push for hiring this year, as many drivers are needed for when the fall semester begins. When people apply to work for CyRide, they go through extensive training — 120 to 140 hours — before they are released to drive on their own. “CyRide safety is very important. Our motto is ‘safety first,’ so we take that very seriously in our training program,” Kyras said. “We try to give the drivers the experiences that they will meet when they are out on their own providing that service.” Kyras plays a large part in encouraging the drivers to test their skills and knowledge when participating in the rodeos as well as having fun with their time with CyRide. “[CyRide is] definitely growing with the [student] growth at Iowa State, and with growth there are always challenges,” Kyras said. “These kinds of competitions and skill-building activities really do help in making the entire operation more safe as we continue to grow with Iowa State.”
