CONRAD – No sleep. The burden of expectations and a bundle of nerves.
  
It would all be over in less than 15 seconds.
  
Jack Garber burst forth from the blocks in the 110-meter high hurdle finals at the Drake Relays on Friday morning. Linn-Mar's Trent Davis had beaten the BCLUW senior by a hair in the preliminaries.
  
Garber was faster this time, he could feel it.
  
The Iowa State recruit later recounted feeling like he was flying. He felt like he had Davis beat.
  
Then Garber clipped a hurdle. And another.

One of my favorite pastimes when any big news story breaks is gauging the way people react to it, especially when it involves the release of a publicly available document they couldn’t be bothered to read themselves. In this regard, the Mueller Report is the granddaddy of ‘em all—a 400-page summary of two years and $30 million worth of work—and yet, I feel like I could’ve hired a group of high school kids to investigate the 2016 election and arrived at roughly the same conclusion.

Because he is the son of Grundy County Supervisor Barb Smith, she abstained from voting, and his appointment was approved by a 4-0 measure.
