Iowa lineman Sean Welsh shares his story of coming to terms with his depression and urges others to seek help.

My name is Sean Welsh, and I’m an offensive lineman for the Iowa Hawkeyes. In the fall, I spend my life in the trench- es at Kinnick Stadium and other venues across the Big Ten. Each week, in front of 70,000 or more cheering football fans, I have the privilege of wearing the black and gold and going toe-to-toe with some of the best defensive linemen in the country. Each snap, each series, and each quarter are phys- ically and emotionally de- manding. But no game or season has ever tested my endurance or attacked my resolve like the challenge that I now face each day of my life. Depression. Welsh Now, I know that some of O-line you reading this will ask, “What in the world does a college athlete like Sean Welsh have to be depressed about?” It’s a fair question.

By LEVI WRIGHT [email protected]

Lucky’s will change its usual lineup of food for something a little more sweet with Cherry Fest, a three-week-long celebration incorpo- rating cherries into its everyday food. On Saturday, Cherry Fest will begin at Lucky’s Market, 1668 Sycamore St. It’s the market’s way of celebrating the cherry season and putting that sweet and tart flavor that cherries have into food. “It’s a new program that we’re playing with,” said Jon Schires, the Lucky’s executive chef. “Lucky’s is coordinating and working very closely with our produce department. Really focusing on what’s at the peak of the season … and what a great time to play with cherries, it’s the middle of sum- mer. Cherries do nothing but scream summer.” Cherry season is typically May through August. Each department will feature cherries in its own way, and some of the cherry options are local. For example, Lucky’s will feature a hard cherry cider from Wilson’s Orchard, an Iowa City orchard that opens in August. Even Lucky’s home-living department is featuring a tart cherry juice. Some other highlights include a specialty pizza, cherry salsa, cherry brownies, and cherry chipotle barbecue pork tenderloin. “Everybody loves cherries,” said Kristen Tetrick, Lucky’s direc- tor of marketing and community. “It’s a seasonal ingredient that’s delicious, and it really lends itself well to a lot of different ways to eat it, so a lot of different options. It goes well with savory foods, it goes well sweet foods, and it’s a seasonal item that every- body loves.” SEE CHERRY, 3B
