Page 6 The Lone Tree Reporter Thursday, September 11, 2014 Lone Tree Cross Country... Continued... from page 1 his first ever Cross Country race, getting in a time of 20:22. Simon- son wasn't far behind with his time of 21:03, forty-third out of 82 runners at the event. The girls got their top finish from Paige Doehrmann who was thirty-first in 19:33 and the other three girls finished within a min- ute of one another at 20:45, 21:09 and 21:22. Girls Results: Paige Doehrmann 19:33.79 (31st) Julie Wehmeyer 20:45.73 (43rd) Devya Alt 21:09 (48th) Sydney Alt 21:22 (55th) Boys Results: Jake Vlner 20:22 (34th) Carson Simonson 21:03 (43rd) Sullivan's Salvos... Continued •.. from page 3 NONE of these Councilors, when asked directly, said, "I'll increase affordable housing in Iowa City, but only if the LOST passes." They simply promised to do it. And they should. And they don't need a new tax to do it. They can simply re- quire developers to do it. But they and other Councils have lacked the necessary political courage for over 30 years. I am not impressed by putting this item on the ballot. I'll be im- pressed when they follow through. Hawkeye Challenge Johnson County is preparing for year 2 of our Hawkeye Challenge on Friday, September 12... the day before the Iowa-ISU football game. The Hawkeye Challenge started last year as good-natured ribbing between Treasurer Tom Kriz and Auditor Travis Weipert. Each claimed to be a bigger Hawkeye fan than the other. Soon this became which of their offices had more Hawkeye Pride. Then it spread countywide. So we held a competition between all the different departments. This was fun! From entering the Sheriff's Office to the strains of "Back In Black", to tailgating food at the Treasurer's Office, to playing games at Social Services, employ- ees took it to heart and made it re- ally fun. Every office was decorated black and gold. The event was really perfect... the public still got served in a time- ly fashion, and most of them had a great deal of fun with it. I'm re- ally glad Tom and Travis got this started! The only complaints we got were from the minority of the staff that roots for Iowa State. So this year, those folks can show their colors, too. If you get a chance, stop by the County offices on Friday the 12th, and judge the winners for yourself! You've got the blue )rint. We've got the loan. Hawkeyes vs. Mocking Jays I really enjoy the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. In her dystopian world, there is a wealthy Capital CiW, surrounded by twelve "Districts" in various states of pov- erty, As regular readers know, I am also a big fan of Hawkeye sports. As usual, I attended the Hawkeye's opening game against UNI. And that is where it hit me. The gleaming Press Box at Kinnick. Down below, disheveled looking people picking up cans. The Press Box is the Capital City. They are af- forded all sorts of rights and privi- leges that others are denied. Rules are different for them. Meanwhile, folks out in the Districts struggle. Their focus on their situation is diverted by "The Games" - in our case, Hawkeye sports. Attendance is down at Hawkeye games. People feel as though they are overcharged, over-policed, and just generally treated badly. They are tired of it, and ready for a change. Could a revolution be coming? I dunno. I doubt it. But if so, I hope it hits our whole society and not just Hawkeye athletics. May the odds be ever in your favor! DID YOU KNOW? Mocking Jay Part One hits theaters November 21st!
